CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report contains forward-looking statements. The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) encourages companies to disclose forward-looking information so that investors can better understand a company’s future prospects and make informed investment decisions. This report and other written and oral statements that we make from time to time contain such forward-looking statements that set out anticipated results based on management’s plans and assumptions regarding future events or performance. We have tried, wherever possible, to identify such statements by using words such as “project”, “believe”, “anticipate”, “plan”, “expect”, “estimate”, “intend”, “should”, “would”, “could”, or “may”, or other such words, verbs in the future tense and words and phrases that convey similar meaning and uncertainty of future events or outcomes to identify these forward–looking statements. There are a number of important factors beyond our control that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results anticipated by these forward–looking statements. While we make these forward–looking statements based on various factors and using numerous assumptions, you have no assurance the factors and assumptions will prove to be materially accurate when the events they anticipate actually occur in the future. Factors that could cause our actual results of operations and financial condition to differ materially are discussed in greater detail under Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of this annual report on Form 10-K.
The forward–looking statements are based upon our beliefs and assumptions using information available at the time we make these statements. We caution you not to place undue reliance on our forward–looking statements as (i) these statements are neither predictions nor guaranties of future events or circumstances, and (ii) the assumptions, beliefs, expectations, forecasts and projections about future events may differ materially from actual results.

Products
SUPR (Superior Utilization of Processing Resources) Product (CyttaCOMP)
Cytta’s proprietary, secure video compression technology offers, what we believe is, superior streaming in HD/4K/8K as compared to common open standard codec/algorithms and is licensed to Reticulate Micro, Inc. SUPR is an entirely unique, ground-up design that is a patented software codec/algorithm for video compression, which operates differently from MPEG-based codec/algorithms (H.264, H.265, VP9). SUPR performs exceptionally well in bandwidth-challenged environments where other video compression solutions cannot operate or do so poorly.
SUPR delivers video streaming for airborne ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) applications including environments where video streams are transmitted beyond line-of-sight. By utilizing a SUPR-enabled encoder onboard an aircraft, video can be securely streamed in high-definition to a SUPR-enabled decoder. Compared to MPEG-based video compression solutions, SUPR offers the following technological advantages:
| · | Clear and superior imagery in lower bandwidths |
|
|
|
| · | Lossless video stream |
|
|
|
| · | Lower video latency |
|
|
|
| · | Proprietary video stream |
|
|
|
| · | Fewer instances of blocking artifacts and pixilation issues as compared to MPEG-based codec/algorithms (H.264, H.265, VP9) and alternatives |
|
|
|
| · | Processor operates more efficiently (SUPR utilizes only 2% of calculations per pixel vs. MPEG-based codec/algorithms (H.264, H.265, VP9) |
|
|
|
| · | Computer runs cooler during compression due to less processor-intense operation |

CYTTA PRODUCT LINES
The video compression and streaming product lines are comprised of three main types of products, each aimed at the different phases of selling to and supporting the customer.
Custom Software Development
Custom software development is a type of professional service product. Using software development and product management staff, solutions are created that are either based on a packaged system (and therefore are extensions of an existing product), or are new workflow systems that are intended to work stand alone or possibly in conjunction with other packaged products. Custom software is also developed to add future support to a customer’s system that is not being addressed via standard product upgrades or follow-on product development. Recent examples include adding specific configuration files to a customer’s SUPR software hardware product. Our custom software solutions are compatible with packaged systems, which is accomplished through the use of the common underlying software platform.
Software Maintenance Plans (SMPs)
Our products follow industry norms for high-end software systems. SMPs (Software Maintenance Plans) are comprised of service promises and software upgrades such as the following:
| · | Phone, e-mail and back-office technical support |
|
|
|
| · | Onsite troubleshooting |
|
|
|
| · | Software maintenance releases |
|
|
|
| · | Software upgrades |
Integrated Portable Hardware/Software Systems
Our combined products are designed and built to create complete and integrated systems that are marketed to provide complete portable solutions to client requirements. Our integrated hardware/software products bring advantages to HD, 4K and 4K+ wireless live video streaming and a centralized video/audio interaction system to a variety of industries.
Competition
Current and new competitors may be able to develop and introduce better or more desirable products in advance of us or at a lower cost. In addition, some of our current and potential competitors have longer and/or more established operating histories, greater industry experience, greater name recognition, established customer bases, and significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than we do. To be competitive, we must respond promptly and effectively to the challenges of technological change, evolving standards and regulations, and our competitors’ innovations by continually working to improve the design of our products, enhancing our products, as well as improving and increasing our marketing and distribution channels. Increased competition could result in a decrease in the desirability of our products, a decrease in the use of our products by customers, loss of market share and brand recognition, and a reduction in the projected revenues from our products. We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors. Competitive pressures faced by us could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
Intellectual Property
The original SUPR compression codec/algorithm and related industry knowhow and experience was acquired from Michael Collins, in 2013. Our current SUPR software codec/algorithm video compression technology is wholly owned by Cytta and has been licensed to Reticulate Micro, Inc.

Research and Development
To maintain our level of continuous innovation, the Company conducts numerous internal Research and Development projects. Additionally, the unique needs and applications of our customers require that we conduct research and development and engineering in order to provide them with the needed solutions and products.
Employees
We currently employ seven (7) independent contractors in the United States to conduct our operations. The Company contracts with various independent contractors and consultants to fulfill additional needs, including accounting, investor relations, business development, permitting, and other corporate functions, and may increase staff further as we expand activities and bring new projects to market.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
We are a smaller reporting Company and are not required to include disclosures under this item. However, the following important factors among others, could cause our actual operating results to differ materially from those indicated or suggested by forward-looking statements made in this Annual Report on Form 10-K or presented elsewhere by management from time to time.
There are numerous and varied risks, known and unknown, that may prevent us from achieving our goals. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operation may be materially adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and investors could lose all or part of their investment.
There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company sustained losses during the years ended September 30, 2023, and 2022, and the Company had an accumulated deficit of in excess of $32,600,000 as of September 30, 2023. These conditions factors raise substantial doubt that we will be able to continue operations as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our generating cash flow sufficient to fund operations and reducing operating expenses. Our business strategy may not be successful in addressing these issues. If we cannot continue as a going concern, our stockholders may lose their entire investment.
Our growth plan is based upon Management’s projection of what may happen in the future, and such predictions may not occur.
Our growth plan is based upon management’s projections of estimated available cash flow, expenses, revenue, revenue over profit, earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation, sales cycle time and other measures of projected economic performance. These projections are made in Management’s view of what may happen in the future, and are not based upon historical projections. Projections or predictions of future events may not occur and actual results may differ materially from those expressed in or implied by such forward-looking statements.
Our lack of operating/sales history makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects.
The Company was formed on May 30, 2006. Since July 2009, substantially all of the Company’s efforts have been devoted to designing and developing its technologies and products. The Company has currently generated limited sales revenue from the sale of its products. Accordingly, the Company has a limited operating history, which makes it difficult to evaluate the Company’s business and future prospects. An investor should consider and evaluate the Company’s prospects in light of the risks and uncertainties frequently encountered by companies introducing new products in intensely competitive markets.
Investors may lose their entire investment if we fail to implement our business plan.
Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stages of development. These risks include, without limitation, competition, the absence of ongoing revenue streams, a competitive market environment, and lack of brand recognition. If we fail to implement and create a base of operations for our proposed business, we may be forced to cease operations, in which case investors may lose their entire investment.

Compliance with changing regulation of corporate governance and public disclosure may result in additional expenses.
Changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, new SEC regulations and OTC Link rules, and regulations governing our technologies and data protection are creating uncertainty for companies such as ours. These new or changed laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations in many cases due to their lack of specificity, and as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies, which could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. Also, while there is limited regulation of our business at the state and federal level, any change to such regulation could adversely affect our business. Also, our clients are often tightly regulated governments or government agencies, and their ability to pay us or our ability to provide services may be impacted by changes in regulations and laws applying to them, which restrict the types of vendors they contract with. We are committed to maintaining high standards of corporate governance and public disclosure. As a result, we intend to invest resources to comply with evolving laws, regulations and standards, and this investment may result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. If our efforts to comply with new or changed laws, regulations and standards differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodies due to ambiguities related to practice, our business may be materially impacted and our reputation may be harmed.
We will require additional financing to accomplish our business strategy.
We require substantial working capital to fund our business development plans, and we expect to experience significant negative cash flow from operations for at least the next six (6) months. We currently estimate that current available capital will be sufficient to meet our anticipated capital needs through March 31, 2024. Depending upon sales volume generated by our business during that time, we also anticipate the possibility of having to raise additional funds in order to achieve our plans and accomplish our immediate and longer-term business strategy. These additional funds likely will be raised through the issuance of Company’s securities in debt and/or equity financings. If we are unable to raise these additional funds on terms acceptable to us, we will be required to limit our expenditures for continuing our product development activities and expanding our sales and marketing operations, reduce our work force, or find alternatives to fund our business on terms that are not as favorable to the Company. Any such actions would impair our product development and expansion plans, reduce potential revenues, increase operating losses, and adversely affect the value of the Company.
Our success depends on the reception by market for our technology products.
Our ability to generate revenues will depend significantly on our ability to attract a sufficient number of users of the Company’s IGAN ICS and SUPR ISR video-compression products. If we are unable to successfully market our products to our target markets and gain a sufficient number of users, any future revenues will be significantly impacted. In addition, any factors adversely affecting the demand for, or market acceptance of, our products could materially reduce our revenues and result in adverse market perceptions of our Company and its products.
We face significant competition.
We believe that our success will depend heavily upon achieving market acceptance of our IGAN ICS and SUPR ISR compression products before our competitors introduce more advanced competing products. Current and new competitors, however, may be able to develop and introduce better or more desirable products in advance of us or at a lower cost. In addition, some of our current and potential competitors have longer and/or more established operating histories, greater industry experience, greater name recognition, established customer bases, and significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than we do. To be competitive, we must respond promptly and effectively to the challenges of technological change, evolving standards and regulations, and our competitors’ innovations by continually working to improve the design of our products, enhancing our products, as well as improving and increasing our marketing and distribution channels. Increased competition could result in a decrease in the desirability of our products, a decrease in the use of our products by customers, loss of market share and brand recognition, and a reduction in the projected revenues from our products. We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors. Competitive pressures faced by us could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

| Table of Contents |
If we do not build brand awareness and brand loyalty, our business may suffer.
Due in part to the substantial resources available to many of our competitors, our opportunity to achieve and maintain a significant market share may be limited. The importance of brand recognition will increase as competition in our market increases. Successfully promoting and positioning of our brand will depend largely on the effectiveness of our marketing efforts, our ability to offer reliable and desirable products at competitive rates, and customer perceptions of the value of our products. If our planned marketing efforts are ineffective or if customer perceptions change, we may need to increase our financial commitment to creating and maintaining brand awareness and loyalty among customers, which could divert financial and management resources from other aspects of our business or cause our operating expenses to increase disproportionately to our revenues. This would cause our business and operating results to suffer.
Our success depends in large part on the continuing efforts of a few individuals and our ability to attract, retain and motivate new personnel to expand our operations.
We depend substantially on the continued services and performance of our existing management team, and we do not currently have formal employment agreements with them, and there is no guarantee that they will continue to be employed by us in the future. The loss of services of any of our non-long term current management team could hurt our business and our financial condition, and results of operations could suffer. Our success also will depend on our ability to attract, hire, train, retain and motivate other skilled technical, managerial, sales and marketing, and business development personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense. If we fail to successfully attract, assimilate and retain a sufficient number of qualified technical, managerial, sales and marketing, business development and administrative personnel, our ability to manage, maintain and expand our business could suffer.
Supply limitations may adversely affect our operations.
Our business strategy depends, to a significant extent, on the availability of relatively stable prices for costs of creative and technical contract workers used in the design, update and creation of our products. As a small company, we may not have much leverage in dealing with these third parties with respect to timeliness of delivery, costs, or quality or quantity of supplies or services. Our inability to acquire quality supplies or services in sufficient quantity and/or on a timely and/or cost-effective basis could materially adversely affect our financial performance.
Our success depends in significant part on our ability to develop and introduce innovative and competitive products. Our ability to compete and to achieve and maintain profitability depends significantly on our ability to protect our product designs through obtaining and enforcing patent rights, obtaining trademark and copyright protection, maintaining our trade secrets, and operating without infringing the intellectual property rights of others.
We also rely on trade secret protection for our confidential and proprietary information. The Company protects its trade secrets through access control as well as confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements with its employees, consultants and advisors. These agreements, however, may be breached, and the Company may not have adequate remedies for such a breach. In addition, the Company’s trade secrets may otherwise become known or be independently developed by competitors. Accordingly, it is uncertain whether the Company’s reliance on trade secret protection will be adequate to safeguard its confidential and proprietary information.
Our ability to obtain and defend our patent position and to maintain our trade secrets will have a significant effect on the success of the Company. Although we intend to pursue patent protection and to aggressively enforce any issued patent against infringement by third parties, our ability to do so is dependent on our financial condition. Such efforts usually are both time consuming and consume significant financial resources. If third parties either challenge the Company’s patents, claim ownership of any Company intellectual property (including but not limited to design patents), proceed to make competitive products using the Company’s patents or other intellectual property, or in any other way impinge on the Company’s proprietary rights, substantial Company resources, in both time and money, are likely to be consumed. If any infringement claims against the Company are resolved unfavorably to the Company, we could be (a) enjoined from manufacturing or selling our products, (b) required to pay damages, (c) required to develop new designs, and/or (d) required to acquire licenses to intellectual property that are the subject of the infringement claims. These licenses, if required, may not be available on acceptable or commercially reasonable terms, or at all. As a result, intellectual property claims, whether initiated by us against third parties or asserted against us by others, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

A small group of Company officers and directors hold a majority of the control of the Company.
As of January 5, 2024, the Company’s executive officers and directors beneficially owned approximately 23% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. Additionally, we have issued 50,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock to our CEO and member of the Board of Directors, Gary Campbell, which shares entitle Mr. Campbell to two-thirds of the total votes of all outstanding capital stock of the Company. By virtue of such stock ownership, our CEO is able to control the election of the members of the Company’s Board of Directors and to generally exercise control over the affairs of the Company. Such concentration of ownership could also have the effect of delaying, deterring, or preventing a change in control of the Company that might otherwise be beneficial to stockholders. There can be no assurance that conflicts of interest will not arise with respect to such directors or that such conflicts will be resolved in a manner favorable to the Company.
Our officers and directors may have conflicts of interest.
Our officers and directors will devote such time as they deem necessary to the business and affairs of the Company. In most companies, there are certain inherent conflicts between the officers and directors and the investors which cannot be fully mitigated. Our directors and officers have interests in other businesses, and/or provide consulting or other services for their individual benefit and account. Because the officers and directors will engage in operations independent of the Company, some of these activities may conflict with those of the Company. The officers and directors thus may be placed in the position where their decisions could favor their own operations or other operations with which they are associated over those of the Company. The officers and directors of the Company are free to engage generally in business for their own account in addition to any participation arising out of the Company’s activities.
Our ability to protect our intellectual property is crucial to our operations.
Our success will depend in significant part on our ability to maintain intellectual property and maintain protection for our products and processes in order to preserve our trade secrets and proprietary technology and establish brand identity and to operate without infringing upon the patents, trademarks or proprietary rights of third parties in the United States and other countries. It is also possible that others could successfully sue the Company for violating their rights in such types of technology. In either case, such litigation can be expensive and time-consuming, and can be used by well-funded adversaries as a strategy for depleting the resources of a small enterprise such as ours. It is also possible that our competitors will develop products using a technology that would provide the same end results, without violating our intellectual property rights. Failure to obtain or subsequent loss of our intellectual property protection could seriously harm our business.
Our products could become obsolete.
Technological obsolescence of our technologies and products is always a possibility. There is no assurance that our competitors will not succeed in developing related products using similar processes and marketing strategies, or that they will not develop technologies and products that are more effective than any which we are developing or will develop. Our ability to compete will depend on the continued timely enhancement and development of technologies and products. There is no assurance that we will be able to keep pace with technological developments or that our products will not become obsolete.
Our initial product introductions could result in increased costs in the future.
Because we are still in the initial phase of introducing our initial SUPR and IGAN products to the market, we do not know whether there will be design defects or problems with programming, which we are not currently aware of but which could be identified by our customers, which problems could delay future sales, or result in product redesign, recall or repair, and, ultimately, loss of market share, and any of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial performance.

Difficult economic conditions could harm our business.
The coronavirus pandemic and consequent societal disruptions resulting therefrom could continue to adversely impact our operations, supply chains and distribution systems and demand for our products and services. Global, national, and local economic conditions continue to be challenging in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. Although the economy appears to be recovering in some areas of the USA and in some countries, it is not possible for us to predict the extent and timing of any improvement in economic conditions which would lead to greater demand for our software. A continued economic downturn could adversely impact our business in the future by causing a decline in demand for our software as our life science customers seek to cut costs, particularly if the economic conditions are prolonged or worsen. In addition, such poor economic conditions may adversely impact our access to capital, which is needed for us continue operations as we have relatively low levels of working capital.
Our business depends on our ability to effectively invest in, implement improvements to and properly maintain the uninterrupted operation and data integrity of our information technology and other business systems.
Our business is highly dependent on maintaining effective information systems as well as the integrity and timeliness of the data we use to serve our customers, support them and operate our business. Because of the large amount of data that we collect and manage, it is possible that hardware or software failures or errors in our systems could result in data loss or corruption or cause the information that we collect to be incomplete or contain significant inaccuracies. If our data were found to be inaccurate or unreliable due to fraud or other error, or if we, or any of the third-party service providers we engage, were to fail to maintain information systems and data integrity effectively, we could experience operational disruptions that may impact our participants and providers and hinder our ability to provide services, retain and attract participants, manage our participant risk profiles, establish reserves, report financial results timely and accurately and maintain regulatory compliance, among other things.
Our information technology strategy and execution are critical to our continued success. We must continue to invest in long-term solutions that will enable us to anticipate participant needs and expectations, enhance the participant experience, act as a differentiator in the market and protect against cybersecurity risks and threats. Our success is dependent, in large part, on maintaining the effectiveness of existing technology systems and continuing to deliver technology systems that support our business processes in a cost-efficient and resource-efficient manner, including through maintaining relationships with third-party providers of technology. Increasing regulatory and legislative changes will place additional demands on our information technology infrastructure that could have a direct impact on resources available for other projects tied to our strategic initiatives. In addition, recent trends toward greater participant engagement in health care require new and enhanced technologies, including more sophisticated applications for mobile devices. Connectivity among technologies is becoming increasingly important. Our failure to effectively invest in and properly maintain the uninterrupted operation and data integrity of our information technology and other business systems could adversely affect our results of operations, financial position and cash flow.
Our common shares will be subject to the “Penny Stock” Rules of the SEC, and the trading market in our securities will be limited, which makes transactions in our stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our stock.
We will be subject to the penny stock rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) that require brokers to provide extensive disclosure to its customers prior to executing trades in penny stocks. These disclosure requirements may cause a reduction in the trading activity of our common stock, which in all likelihood would make it difficult for our stockholders to sell their securities.
Under the penny stock regulations, a broker-dealer selling a penny stock to anyone other than an established customer or accredited investor must make a special suitability determination regarding the purchaser and must receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the sale, unless the broker-dealer is otherwise exempt. Generally, an individual with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000, or annual income exceeding $200,000 individually, or $300,000 together with his or her spouse, is considered an accredited investor. In addition, under the penny stock regulations the broker-dealer is required to:
| · | Deliver, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt; |
|
|
|
| · | Disclose commissions payable to the broker-dealer and our registered representatives and current bid and offer quotations for the securities; |
|
|
|
| · | Send monthly statements disclosing recent price information pertaining to the penny stock held in a customer’s account, the account’s value and information regarding the limited market in penny stocks; |
|
|
|
| · | Make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction, prior to conducting any penny stock transaction in the customer’s account |
| 12 |
| Table of Contents |
Because of these regulations, broker-dealers may encounter difficulties in their attempt to sell shares of our common stock, which may affect the ability of selling stockholders or other holders to sell their shares in the secondary market and have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market. These additional sales practice and disclosure requirements could impede the sale of our securities. In addition, the liquidity for our securities may be decreased, with a corresponding decrease in the price of our securities. Our shares in all probability will be subject to such penny stock rules and our stockholders will, in all likelihood, find it difficult to sell their securities.
Investors may never receive cash distributions, which could result in an investor receiving little or no return on his or her investment.
Distributions are payable at the sole discretion of our board of directors. We do not know the amount of cash that we will generate, if any, once we have more productive operations. Cash distributions are not assured, and we may never be in a position to make distributions.
We have issued Series D Preferred Stock, whose holders have rights superior to investors in our Common Stock.
We have issued 50,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock to our CEO and member of the Board of Directors, Gary Campbell. While each share of Series D Preferred Stock is convertible into one share of fully paid and non-assessable Common Stock, the Series D Preferred Stock is super-voting preferred stock. For so long as any shares of the Series D Preferred Stock remain issued and outstanding, the holders thereof, voting separately as a class, shall have the right to vote on all shareholder matters equal to two times the sum of all the number of shares of other classes of Company capital stock eligible to vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Company, meaning that the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock have two-thirds of the total votes associated with the capital stock of the Company.
Our shares may be thinly traded with wide share price fluctuations, low share prices and minimal liquidity.
Our share price may be volatile with wide fluctuations in response to several factors, including potential investors’ anticipated feeling regarding our results of operations; increased competition; and our ability or inability to generate future revenues. In addition, our share price may be affected by factors that are unrelated or disproportionate to our operating performance. Our share price might be affected by general economic, political, and market conditions, such as recessions, interest rates, commodity prices, or international currency fluctuations. Additionally, stocks traded on the OTC Link are usually thinly traded, highly volatile and not followed by analysts. These factors, which are not under our control, may have a material effect on our share price.
We could potentially need to sell shares in the future, which would result in a dilution to our existing shareholders.
We may seek additional funds through the sale of our common stock. This will result in a dilution effect to our shareholders whereby their percentage ownership interest in Cytta is reduced. The magnitude of this dilution effect will be determined by the number of shares we will have to issue in the future to obtain the funds required. The sale of additional stock to new shareholders will reduce the ownership position of the current shareholders. The price of each share outstanding common share may decrease in the event we sell additional shares.
Since our securities are subject to penny stock rules, you may have difficulty reselling your shares.
Our shares are “penny stocks” and are covered by Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 which imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers including: disclosure and confirmation of quotation prices; disclosure of compensation the broker/dealer receives; and, furnishing monthly account statements. For sales of our securities, the broker/dealer must make a special suitability determination and receive from its customer a written agreement prior to making a sale. The imposition of the foregoing additional sales practices could adversely affect a shareholder’s ability to dispose of his stock.

Current and future legal action would cause our costs to increase.
There are presently no legal actions pending against the Company or to which it or any of its property are subject, nor to its knowledge are any such proceedings contemplated. However, any legal action in the future will result in costs of defense that would be variable and would be expected to increase as compared to historic legal expenses incurred by the Company. Additionally, the Company anticipates a general increase in legal counsel cost going forward due to the increased compliance costs of running a public company and the legal work that may be necessary for implementing the Company’s business plan of expansion.
In the event of an investor’s life crisis, the Board may not buy back shares from the investor.
If crisis occurs, such as death of investor spouse or family member, at the request of the investor, Board of Directors may meet to discuss the possibility of buying back shares from investor, but is not required to do so.
All of these risks are uncertain, and there may be other risks that we have not identified.
We have sought to identify what we believe to be the most significant risks to our business, but we cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any of such risks may be realized nor can we guarantee that we have identified all possible risks that might arise. Investors should carefully consider all such risk factors before making an investment decision with respect to our Common Stock.
You may have limited access to information regarding our business because our obligations to file periodic reports with the SEC could be automatically suspended under certain circumstances.
Unless we file a registration statement on Form 8-A, which we have no obligation to file, we will not be a fully reporting company but will only comply with the limited reporting requirements of Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) requiring us to file periodic reports (i.e., annual, quarterly and material events) with the SEC which will be immediately available to the public for inspection and copying. We would not be required to furnish proxy statements to security holders, and our directors, officers and principal beneficial owners will not be required to report their beneficial ownership of securities to the SEC pursuant to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Previously, a company with more than 500 shareholders of record and $10 million in assets had to register under the Exchange Act. However, the JOBS Act raises the minimum shareholder threshold from 500 to either 2,000 persons or 500 persons who are not “accredited investors,” excluding securities received by employees pursuant to employee stock incentive plans for purposes of calculating the shareholder threshold. This means that unless we file a Form 8-A, access to information regarding our business and operations will likely be limited.
As a result of the effectiveness of our registration statement last filed with the SEC on October 18, 2021 (declared effective by the SEC on November 2, 2021), we are subject to the limited reporting requirements of the Exchange Act identified above (i.e., annual, quarterly and material events). Except during the fiscal year that our registration statement became effective (the fiscal year ending September 30, 2022), even these limited reporting obligations would be automatically suspended under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act if we have less than 300 shareholders and do not file a registration statement on Form 8-A (which we have no obligation to file). We would then no longer be obligated to file periodic reports with the SEC and your access to our business information would then be even more limited.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
On November 24, 2020, a plaintiff (the “Plaintiff”) filed a complaint in the State District Court for Clark County, Nevada, naming Cytta as a Defendant. The Plaintiff contended that the Company had breached a written contract, or, in the alternative was liable to the Plaintiff for unjust enrichment. Cytta contended that no contract formation had ever occurred and that it had not been unjustly enriched by the Plaintiff. On or about January 15, 2021, the Defendant filed an Answer and Counterclaim in the litigation and contended that in fact the Plaintiff owed money to Cytta. A bench trial was held in June of 2022. In May of 2023, the Court which had presided over the bench trial ruled against the Plaintiff and in favor of Cytta, rejecting all the Plaintiff’s claims against Cytta. The Court also awarded damages to Cytta, and against the Plaintiff, on one of Cytta’s counterclaims, and subsequently also ruled that Cytta is entitled to recover certain of its costs and fees from the Plaintiff. The Plaintiff’s lawyer subsequently withdrew from representing the Plaintiff. The Plaintiff thereafter filed a pro se appeal without a lawyer. That Pro Se appeal has now been dismissed.
Other than the above, we know of no legal proceedings to which we are a party or to which any of our property is the subject, which are pending, threatened or contemplated or any unsatisfied judgments against the Company.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following is management’s discussion and analysis of certain significant factors that have affected our financial position and operating results during the periods included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, as well as information relating to the plans of our current management. This report includes forward-looking statements. Generally, the words “believes,” “anticipates,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “continue,” and similar expressions or the negative thereof or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including the matters set forth in this report or other reports or documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, which could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those projected. Undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements which speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements.
While our financial statements are presented on the basis that we are a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business over a reasonable length of time, our auditors have raised a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2023, we had limited operating capital. Our current capital and our other existing resources will not be sufficient to provide the working capital needed for our current business Additional capital will be required to meet our obligations, and to further expand our business. We may be unable to obtain the additional capital required. Our inability to generate capital or raise additional funds when required will have a negative impact on our business development and financial results. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as well as our recurring losses from operations and the need to raise additional capital to fund operations. This “going concern” could impair our ability to finance our operations through the sale of debt or equity securities.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $32,603,480 and has also generated losses since inception. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
For the year ended September 30, 2023, we primarily funded our business operations with our cash on hand as of October 1, 2023, and from the issuances of convertible notes of $1,215,000, note payable of $40,000 and proceeds of $100,000 from the sale of common stock.
As of September 30, 2023, we had cash of $674,824 compared to $755,122 at September 30, 2022. As of September 30, 2023, we had current assets of $1,661,800 and current liabilities of $2,561,493, which resulted in working capital deficit of $899,693. The current liabilities are comprised of accounts payable and accrued expenses, related party payables, convertible note payable, notes payable, dividends payable and stock to be issued.
Operating Activities
For the year ended September 30, 2023, net cash used in operating activities was $1,435,298 compared to $2,381,574 for the year ended September 30, 2022. For the year ended September 30, 2023, our net cash used in operating activities was primarily attributable to the net loss of $4,728,473, adjusted by stock-based compensation of $3,136,341, amortization and depreciation expenses of $84,222 and loss on debt extinguishment of $20,171. Net changes of $52,441 in operating assets and liabilities decreased the cash used in operating activities.
For the year ended September 30, 2022, net cash used in operating activities was $2,381,574 compared to $1,313,536 for the year ended September 30, 2021. For the year ended September 30, 2022, our net cash used in operating activities was primarily attributable to the net loss of $5,100,102, adjusted by stock-based compensation of $2,178,973 and depreciation of $47,615. Net changes of $491,940 in operating assets and liabilities decreased the cash used in operating activities.
Investing Activities
There was no investment activity for the years ended September 30, 2023, and 2022.

| Table of Contents |
Financing Activities
For the year ended September 30, 2023, net cash provided by financing activities was $1,355,000, compared to $2,963,500 for the year ended September 30, 2022. During the year ended September 30, 2023, we received $1,215,000 from the issuances of convertible notes, $40,000 from the issuance of a note payable, and proceeds of $100,000 from the sale of common stock.
During the year ended September 30, 2022, we received $2,963,500 pursuant to the sale of 59,270,000 shares of Series F Preferred Stock at $.05 per share.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 4 of our financial statements. While all these significant accounting policies impact our financial condition and results of operations, we view certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on our financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Our management believes that given current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause an effect on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the periods presented in this report.
Convertible Instruments
The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in convertible instruments in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging Activities.
GAAP requires companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free-standing derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not remeasured at fair value under other GAAP with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument.
In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2020-06 (ASU 2020-06). ASU 2020-06 eliminates the beneficial conversion feature and cash conversion models in Accounting Standards Codification 470-20 that require separate accounting for embedded conversion features in convertible instruments. The new guidance also eliminates some of the conditions that must be met for equity classification under ASC 815-40-25. The standard is effective for smaller reporting companies for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted. The Company chose to early adopt this standard. As a result, financial results contained herein are reported in accordance with this standard as applicable.
The convertible debt issued by the company referred to in Note 7, did not require separate accounting for the conversion feature as it was not considered to be a derivative. The company issued warrants in connection with the debt financing and in accordance with ASC 470-20-25-2 the proceeds from the sale of the debt instruments have been allocated to the debt and warrants based on the relative fair value of the two components. The amount allocated to the warrants has been recorded as a debt discount to be amortized of the life of the note.
Fair value of financial instruments
The Company measures assets and liabilities at fair value based on an expected exit price as defined by the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements, which represents the amount that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, as the case may be, in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value may be based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis whereby inputs, used in valuation techniques, are assigned a hierarchical level.
| 22 |
| Table of Contents |
The following are the hierarchical levels of inputs to measure fair value:
| ● | Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
| ● | Level 2 - Inputs reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. |
| ● | Level 3 - Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available. |
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, prepaid expenses, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses, certain notes payable and notes payable - related party, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.
Revenue Recognition
Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the commercial sales of products by: (1) identify the contract (if any) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract (if any); (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract (if any); and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) the performance of service has been rendered to a customer or delivery has occurred; (3) the amount of fee to be paid by a customer is fixed and determinable; and (4) the collectability of the fee is reasonably assured. Other than The Company has no outstanding contracts with any of its’ customers. The Company recognizes revenue when title, ownership, and risk of loss pass to the customer, all of which occurs upon shipment or delivery of the product and is based on the applicable shipping terms.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for its stock based compensation under the recognition and measurement principles of the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004) “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123R”)(ASC 718) using the modified prospective method for transactions in which the Company obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions and the Financial Accounting Standards Board Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 96-18 “Accounting For Equity Instruments That Are Issued To Other Than Employees For Acquiring, Or In Conjunction With Selling Goods Or Services” (“EITF No. 96-18”) for share-based payment transactions with parties other than employees provided in SFAS No. 123(R) (ASC 718). All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date used to determine the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the third-party performance is complete or the date on which it is probable that performance will occur.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings per Share.” ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the statement of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period including stock options, using the treasury stock method, and convertible notes and stock warrants, using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options, warrants and conversion of convertible notes. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements, including arrangements that would affect our liquidity, capital resources, market risk support and credit risk support or other benefits.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
A review and evaluation were performed by the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (the “CFO”), as of the end of the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this annual report. Based on that review and evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that as of September 30, 2023, disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at ensuring that the material information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported as required in the application of SEC rules and forms.
Management’s Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting is a set of processes designed by, or under the supervision of, a company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that:
| ● | Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and disposition of our assets; |
| ● | Provide reasonable assurance our transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and |
| ● | Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. It should be noted that any system of internal control, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system will be met. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our CEO and CFO have evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as described in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) as of the end of the period covered by this report based upon criteria established in “Internal Control-Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework). As a result of this evaluation, we concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of September 30, 2023 as described below.
We assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of evaluation date and identified the following material weaknesses:
Insufficient Resources: We have an inadequate number of personnel with requisite expertise in the key functional areas of finance and accounting.
| 24 |
| Table of Contents |
Inadequate Segregation of Duties: We have an inadequate number of personnel to properly implement control procedures.
Lack of Audit Committee: We do not have a functioning audit committee, resulting in lack of independent oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures.
We are committed to improving the internal controls and will (1) consider using third party specialists to address shortfalls in staffing and to assist us with accounting and finance responsibilities, (2) increase the frequency of independent reconciliations of significant accounts which will mitigate the lack of segregation of duties until there are sufficient personnel and (3) may consider appointing additional outside directors and audit committee members in the future.
We have discussed the material weakness noted above with our independent registered public accounting firm. Due to the nature of these material weaknesses, there is a more than remote likelihood that misstatements which could be material to the annual or interim financial statements could occur that would not be prevented or detected.
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the period covered by this report, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION
None.
OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements, including arrangements that would affect our liquidity, capital resources, market risk support and credit risk support or other benefits.

Family Relationships
None.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
No director, executive officer, significant employee or control person of the Company has been involved in any legal proceeding listed in Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K in the past 10 years.
Corporate Governance
Our Board has not established any committees, including an audit committee, a compensation committee or a nominating committee, or any committee performing a similar function. The functions of those committees are being undertaken by our Board. Because we do not have any independent directors, our Board believes that the establishment of committees of our Board would not provide any benefits to our Company and could be considered more form than substance.
Given our relative size and lack of directors’ and officers’ insurance coverage, we do not anticipate that any of our stockholders will make such a recommendation in the near future. While there have been no nominations of additional directors proposed, in the event such a proposal is made, all current members of our Board will participate in the consideration of director nominees.
As with most small, early- stage companies until such time as our Company further develops our business, achieves a revenue base and has sufficient working capital to purchase directors’ and officers’ insurance, we do not have any immediate prospects to attract independent directors. When we are able to expand our Board to include one or more independent directors, we intend to establish an audit committee of our Board of Directors. It is our intention that one or more of these independent directors will also qualify as an audit committee financial expert. Our securities are not quoted on an exchange that has requirements that a majority of our Board members be independent and we are not currently otherwise subject to any law, rule or regulation requiring that all or any portion of our Board of Directors include “independent” directors, nor are we required to establish or maintain an audit committee or other committee of our Board.
| 27 |
| Table of Contents |
Code of Ethics
We have adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to our officers and which is intended to promote honest and ethical conduct and to deter wrongdoing.
Director Independence
None of the members of our Board of Directors qualifies as an independent director in accordance with the published listing requirements of the NASDAQ Global Market. The NASDAQ independence definition includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not, and has not been for at least three years, one of our employees and that neither the director, nor any of his family members has engaged in various types of business dealings with us. In addition, our Board has not made a subjective determination as to each director that no relationships exist which, in the opinion of our Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director, though such subjective determination is required by the NASDAQ rules. Had our Board of Directors made these determinations, our Board would have reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors and us with regard to each director’s business and personal activities and relationships as they may relate to us and our management.
In performing the functions of the audit committee, our board oversees our accounting and financial reporting process. In this function, our board performs several functions. Our board, among other duties, evaluates and assesses the qualifications of the Company’s independent auditors; determines whether to retain or terminate the existing independent auditors; meets with the independent auditors and financial management of the Company to review the scope of the proposed audit and audit procedures on an annual basis; reviews and approves the retention of independent auditors for any non-audit services; reviews the independence of the independent auditors; reviews with the independent auditors and with the Company’s financial accounting personnel the adequacy and effectiveness of accounting and financial controls and considers recommendations for improvement of such controls; reviews the financial statements to be included in our annual and quarterly reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission; and discusses with the Company’s management and the independent auditors the results of the annual audit and the results of our quarterly financial statements.
Our board as a whole will consider executive officer compensation, and our entire board participates in the consideration of director compensation. Our board as a whole oversees our compensation policies, plans and programs, reviews and approves corporate performance goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of our executive officers, if any, and administers our equity incentive and stock option plans, if any.
Each of our directors participates in the consideration of director nominees. In addition to nominees recommended by directors, our board will consider nominees recommended by shareholders if submitted in writing to our secretary. Our board believes that any candidate for director, whether recommended by shareholders or by the board, should be considered on the basis of all factors relevant to our needs and the credentials of the candidate at the time the candidate is proposed. Such factors include relevant business and industry experience and demonstrated character and judgment.
Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) generally requires directors and executive officers, persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities, and certain other persons of issuers that have a class of equity securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership on Forms 3, 4 and 5 with the SEC, and to furnish the Company with copies of the forms. Since we have not filed a Form 8-A with the SEC, we do not have a class of equity securities registered pursuant Section 12 of the Exchange Act, and we are not required to disclose delinquent Section 16(a) reports in this report.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Cytta Corp.
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Cytta Corp. (the Company) as of September 30, 2023 and 2022, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as September 30, 2023 and 2022, 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.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, As of September 30, 2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $32,603,480 and has also generated losses since inception. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2 to the accompanying financial statements. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, 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.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit matters for the current audit period.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2020

The Company develops and distributes proprietary technology that radically shifts how video is streamed, consumed, transferred and stored. Our proprietary SUPR Stream is the technology at the core of our products, designed specifically for streaming and storing HD, 4K, and higher resolution video. The IGAN (Incident Global Area Network) Incident Command System (ICS) seamlessly streams and stores all relevant video and audio during emergency situations. This creates real-time situational awareness for police, firefighters, first responders, EMS, and their command centers. Our products work in size, weight, and power-constrained (SWaP) operating environments, and evolved through use in the military by meeting the need to stream multiple HD, 4K, and 4K+ video feeds with ultra-low latency, bandwidth, and power consumption. The Company is taking this streaming, storage, and transfer technology to enterprises that would like to send more high-quality videos with fewer resources. All of our products are manufactured in the USA.
The Company intends to fund operations through equity and/or debt financing arrangements, which may not be sufficient to fund its capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements for the foreseeable future. During the year ended September 30, 2023, the Company sold
NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements are prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original term of three months or less to be cash equivalents. These investments are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. Cash and cash equivalent balances may, at certain times, exceed federally insured limits. The Company has no cash equivalents at September 30, 2023, and 2022.
| F-8 |
| Table of Contents |
Prepaid expenses
The Company considers expenses or services paid for prior to the period the expense is completed to be recorded as a prepaid expense. Included in this account is the value of common stock, options and warrants issued to consultants. Such issuances are pursuant to consulting agreements that can have a one-to-two-year term. The Company amortized the value of the stock issued over the term of the agreement. The activity for the years ended September 30, 2023, and 2022 is summarized as:

Inventory
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined on the first-in, first-out basis. Inventory costs include finished goods and component parts. In evaluating the net realizable value of inventory, management also considers, if applicable, other factors, including known trends, market conditions, currency exchange rates and other such issues. During the year ended September 30, 2022, the Company reclassified $
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, and depreciation is provided by use of a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
The Company reviews property and equipment for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of assets may not be recoverable. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment is as follows:
| Vehicles and equipment | |
| Software |
Convertible Instruments
The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in convertible instruments in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging Activities.
GAAP requires companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free-standing derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not remeasured at fair value under other GAAP with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument.
In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2020-06 (ASU 2020-06). ASU 2020-06 eliminates the beneficial conversion feature and cash conversion models in Accounting Standards Codification 470-20 that require separate accounting for embedded conversion features in convertible instruments. The new guidance also eliminates some of the conditions that must be met for equity classification under ASC 815-40-25. The standard is effective for smaller reporting companies for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted. The Company chose to early adopt this standard. As a result, financial results contained herein are reported in accordance with this standard as applicable.
| F-9 |
| Table of Contents |
The convertible debt issued by the company referred to in Note 7, did not require separate accounting for the conversion feature as it was not considered to be a derivative. The company issued warrants in connection with the debt financing and in accordance with ASC 470-20-25-2 the proceeds from the sale of the debt instruments have been allocated to the debt and warrants based on the relative fair value of the two components. The amount allocated to the warrants has been recorded as a debt discount to be amortized of the life of the note.
Fair value of financial instruments
The Company measures assets and liabilities at fair value based on an expected exit price as defined by the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements, which represents the amount that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, as the case may be, in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value may be based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis whereby inputs, used in valuation techniques, are assigned a hierarchical level.
The following are the hierarchical levels of inputs to measure fair value:
| ● | Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
| ● | Level 2 - Inputs reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. |
| ● | Level 3 - Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available. |
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, prepaid expenses, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses, certain notes payable and notes payable - related party, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.
Revenue recognition
Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the commercial sales of products by: (1) identify the contract (if any) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract (if any); (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract (if any); and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. The Company has no outstanding contracts with any of its’ customers. The Company recognizes revenue when title, ownership, and risk of loss pass to the customer, all of which occurs upon shipment or delivery of the product and is based on the applicable shipping terms.
.
Stock-based compensation
The Company accounts for its stock based compensation under the recognition and measurement principles of the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004) “Share-Based Payment” (ASC 718) using the modified prospective method for transactions in which the Company obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions and the Financial Accounting Standards Board Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 96-18 “Accounting For Equity Instruments That Are Issued To Other Than Employees For Acquiring, Or In Conjunction With Selling Goods Or Services” (“EITF No. 96-18”) for share-based payment transactions with parties other than employees provided in (ASC 718). All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date used to determine the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the third-party performance is complete or the date on which it is probable that performance will occur.
| F-10 |
| Table of Contents |
Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS No. 109”) (ASC 740). Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
Cash flows reporting
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 230 for cash flows reporting and accordingly classifies cash receipts and payments according to whether they stem from operating, investing, or financing activities and provides definitions of each category, and uses the indirect or reconciliation method (“Indirect method”) as defined by ASC 230 to report net cash flow from operating activities by adjusting net income to reconcile it to net cash flow from operating activities by removing the effects of (a) all deferrals of past operating cash receipts and payments and all accruals of expected future operating cash receipts and payments and (b) all items that are included in net income that do not affect operating cash receipts and payments.
Reporting segments
ASC 280 establishes standards for the way that public enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires reporting of selected information about operating segments in interim financial statements regarding products and services, geographic areas and major customers. ASC 280 defines operating segments as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performances. Currently, ASC 280 has no effect on the Company’s financial statements as substantially all of the Company’s operations are conducted in one industry segment.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of its cash and cash equivalents and related party payables it will likely incur in the near future. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions of high credit worthiness. At times, its cash and cash equivalents with a particular financial institution may exceed any applicable government insurance limits. The Company’s management plans to assess the financial strength and credit worthiness of any parties to which it extends funds, and as such, it believes that any associated credit risk exposures are limited.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock
The Company has adopted ASC 260-10-20, “Earnings per Share,” (“EPS”) which requires presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. In the accompanying financial statements, basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Other than the above there have been no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the year ended September 30, 2023, that are of significance or potential significance to the Company.

NOTE 9 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
On November 24, 2020, a plaintiff (the “Plaintiff”) filed a complaint in the State District Court for Clark County, Nevada, naming Cytta as a Defendant. The Plaintiff contended that the Company had breached a written contract, or, in the alternative was liable to the Plaintiff for unjust enrichment. Cytta contended that no contract formation had ever occurred and that it had not been unjustly enriched by the Plaintiff. On or about January 15, 2021, the Defendant filed an Answer and Counterclaim in the litigation and contended that in fact the Plaintiff owed money to Cytta. A bench trial was held in June of 2022. In May of 2023, the Court which had presided over the bench trial ruled against the Plaintiff and in favor of Cytta, rejecting all the Plaintiff’s claims against Cytta. The Court also awarded damages to Cytta, and against the Plaintiff, on one of Cytta’s counterclaims, and subsequently also ruled that Cytta is entitled to recover certain of its costs and fees from the Plaintiff. The Plaintiff’s lawyer subsequently withdrew from representing the Plaintiff. The Plaintiff thereafter filed a pro se appeal without a lawyer. That Pro Se appeal has now been dismissed.

NOTE 11 - INCOME TAXES
The Company provides for income taxes under ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. ASC 740 requires the use of an asset and liability approach in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse. ASC 740 requires the reduction of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely- than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, management must determine that there will be sufficient taxable income to allow for the realization of deferred tax assets. Based upon the historical and anticipated future income, management has determined that the deferred tax assets do not meet the more-likely-than-not threshold for realizability. Accordingly, there is a full valuation allowance provided against the Company’s deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2023, and 2022.
A reconciliation of the provision for income taxes determined at the U.S. statutory rate to the Company’s effective income tax rate is as follows:
