PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
OVERVIEW
Spectral Capital Corporation is a technology company focused on the identification, acquisition, development, and financing of technology that has the potential to transform existing industries. We look for technology that can be protected through patents or laws regarding trade secrets.
In December 2021, the Company began providing telecommunications and data and switching services. Specifically, Spectral is providing international long distance reselling services on a business-to-business (“B2B”) basis. The Company is currently providing these services for select customers.
Spectral offers a complete selection of wholesale services for carriers and enterprises on our high-performance robust Voice & IP network and provides high-quality Session Initiation Protocol (“SIP”) trunking, termination and origination through our platform. We make it easy for companies to operate with little to no investment or overhead allowing those companies to focus on serving their customers. Spectral has built a robust network and provides the applications and services to meet the needs of our telecommunications and data customers.
CORPORATE HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 13, 2000 as Galaxy Championship Wrestling, Inc., a media and entertainment company focused on developing, producing and marketing live entertainment in the professional wrestling sphere.
On March 31, 2004, unable to generate sufficient revenues to sustain our professional wrestling business, we ceased operations in this field and began exploring other business opportunities.
Also, on March 31, 2004 our controlling shareholders entered into a certain private stock purchase agreement, wherein they sold an aggregate of 5,750,000 of our common shares, representing a sixty-two and seventeen twentieths percent (62.85%) controlling interest, to an unrelated third party.
17
By certificate of amendment filed June 17, 2004, we changed our name from Galaxy Championship Wrestling, Inc. to FUSA Capital Corporation.
During the period from March 31, 2004 until March 7, 2005 we had no meaningful operations and did not carry on any active business, focusing instead on identifying and evaluating the merits of alternative potential business and acquisition opportunities which might allow us to restart operations.
On March 7, 2005 we entered into a certain plan and agreement of reorganization with FUSA Technology Investments Corp. (“FTIC”), a Nevada corporation engaged in the emerging growth field of audio and video search engine technology, whereby we acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of FTIC in addition to obtaining certain intellectual property concepts related to search engine technology as developed by FTIC and its principals. In March of 2005 we also entered into a three for one stock dividend payable to our shareholders.
From April 2005 until September 2010, we were engaged continuously in the development and operation of consumer focused media search engine technologies and portals. During the last nine months of 2009, we began to substantially curtail our operations and ongoing technology development as a consequence of (i) having completed a substantial portion of our planned principal technology development work and (ii) being unable to raise sufficient funds through revenue or sales of debt or equity securities to continue our previous levels of operation and development. We ceased operating our Internet properties in December 2010.
We had consistently lost money on our on-line consumer media properties due to the expenses involved in hosting, promotion, development and management of those sites. In an effort to maintain as much traffic as possible on our most popular media site, www.searchforvideo.com, which was also responsible for a large proportion of our expenses, we contracted with Brass Consulting Ltd. to maintain the site in exchange for net revenue produced from the site. This agreement was cancellable after 30 days’ notice. We cancelled this agreement in September 2009. We were not able to operate the site properly internally or through an external provider.
On June 29, 2009, our Board of Directors (“Board”) resolved to amend the Articles of Incorporation pursuant to Nevada Revised Statues 78.207 to decrease the number of authorized shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001, from 500,000,000 to 333,333 shares. Correspondingly, our Board of Directors affirmed a reverse split of one thousand and five hundred (1,500) to one (1) in which each shareholder was issued one (1) share in exchange for every one thousand and five hundred (1,500) common shares of their currently issued common stock. The record date for the reverse split was July 6, 2009.
On July 27, 2010, our shareholders voted to change our name to Spectral Capital Corporation and to increase the number of shares of our authorized common stock from 333,333, par value $0.0001 to 500,000,000, par value $0.0001.
In early 2013, Spectral Capital Corporation moved into a new line of business where it would focus on the identification, acquisition, development, and financing of technology that has the potential to transform existing industries.
On February 26, 2013, Spectral Capital Corporation, through its subsidiary, Spectral Holdings, Inc., signed a definitive Technology Acquisition Agreement (“Agreement”) to acquire mobile search engine and mobile sharing technology from Fiveseas Securities Ltd. Under the Agreement, Spectral issued Fiveseas 5,000,000 common shares of Spectral Capital Corporation, par value $0.0001. The Agreement called for the technology to reside within a newly formed entity called Noot Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, which Spectral is a 60% owner of and Fiveseas is a 40% owner of. Fiveseas was granted a right of first refusal for any subsequent sale of the technology.
On December 1, 2013, Spectral Capital Corporation, through its subsidiary, Spectral Holdings, Inc., signed a definitive Technology Acquisition Agreement (“Agreement”) to acquire a technology application and service that enhances the way people find, consume, analyze, share and discuss financial news and topics, equities, commodities and currencies on the web from TL Global Inc. Under the Agreement, Spectral issued TL Global Inc. 5,000,000 common shares of Spectral Capital Corporation, par value $0.0001. The Agreement called for the technology to reside within a newly formed entity called Monitr Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, which Spectral is a 60% owner of and TL Global Inc. is a 40% owner of. TL Global Inc. was granted a right of first refusal for any subsequent sale of the technology.
18
On June 19, 2022, our Board of Directors approved an increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, from 500,000,000 to 1,000,000,000 (the “Increase in Authorized Capital”) and a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock whereby every ten (10) shares of issued and outstanding common stock would be combined into one (1) share of issued and outstanding common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”), and submitted both resolutions for stockholder approval. On June 20, 2022, the holder of a majority of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock approved the Increase in Authorized Capital and Reverse Stock Split by written consent. The Certificate of Amendment was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada on November 22, 2022 to effectuate the Increase in Authorized Capital and Reverse Stock Split, which became effective on December 2, 2022.
Our principal executive offices are located at 4500 9th Avenue NE, Seattle, Washington 98105. Our phone number is (206) 385-6490.
PRINCIPAL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
Spectral is focused on the identification, acquisition, development, and financing of technology that has the potential to transform existing industries.
Companies within the technology development and commercialization sector have a variety of areas of principal competence. Some companies focus on aggressively developing a portfolio of intellectual property and then licensing that property and defending it through litigation. Others focus on a technology embodied in a software product or device which has the potential to be acquired by businesses and/or consumers at a profit. Others seek to develop and commercialize technology that attracts a significant number of users who can be monetized through advertising. Of course, technology development and commercialization is a vast and complex field. Spectral has had an initial focus on information technology with a direct value proposition to businesses or consumers.
Like all companies that seek to develop a portfolio of high impact technologies and the corporate and organizational structure to monetize those technologies, Spectral must do the specialized work of lowering the risk profile of the commercialization of a particular technology to the point where it is able to grow at a reasonable customer acquisition cost.
Our business differs from those companies whose capital reserves, successful previous ability to monetize technology and scale, efficiencies and existing customer base allow them to select and develop technology by flooding the technology with financial and human resources. Spectral’s approach is much more targeted. We only develop technology that we believe has a very specific fit with our expertise and limited capital. We develop technology that does not require massive investments in sales and marketing in order to reach an initial audience.
We have interests in telecommunications, data and switching services, specifically providing international long distance reselling services on a B2B basis. We form partnerships to expand our business as well as seek technological advancement opportunities that may provide us with a substantial advantage over our competition. Additionally, Spectral has majority ownership of two non-operating technology companies: Noot and Monitr. We believe the underlying technology for Noot with its foundation in mobile search and Monitr with its foundation in trend detecting software for stock trading analysis has the potential to create profitable businesses on their own but require substantial capital to upgrade their software to become competitive. Spectral currently does not have the financial means for these required upgrades.
Competition
We compete with a wide variety of parties in connection with our efforts to: (i) attract users to our various Analytics, Search & Software portfolio companies and the ones we intend to develop; (ii) develop, market and distribute our current and anticipated B2C (“Business to Consumer”) and B2B software applications (“Applications” or “Apps”) as developed by our portfolio companies; (iii) attract third parties to distribute our Applications and related technology; and (iv) attract advertisers. In the case of our anticipated search services generally, our competitors include Google and other destination search websites and search centric portals (some of which provide a broad range of content and services and/or link to various desktop applications), third party toolbar, convenience search and applications providers, other search technology and convenience service providers (including internet access providers, social media platforms, online advertising networks, traditional media companies and companies that provide online content). When we market our portfolio search and analytics services, we compete against a variety of established players and new entrants.
19
Moreover, some of our current and potential competitors have longer operating histories, greater brand recognition, larger customer bases and/or significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do. As a result, they have the ability to devote comparatively greater resources to the development and promotion of their products and services, which could result in greater market acceptance of their products and services relative to those offered by us.
The telecommunication industry is growing market and new entrants into this industry arrive frequently. Entering the reselling industry does not require substantial capital in most cases. The most successful companies have developed long-lasting relationships with data carrier traffic providers and can utilize these relationships for high traffic within their networks. Spectral is a new entrant to this industry and must form relationships in order to grow and develop its customer base. Providing carriers with technology advancements for better connections and high quality customer service will be part of Spectral’s mission in order to gain a competitive advantage.
Marketing and Customers
Spectral is providing international long distance reselling services on a B2B basis. The Company is currently providing these services for select customers through our efforts of partnership development.
Spectral’s wholesale voice services provide global routing solutions and direct bilateral connections with major PTTs, Tier-1 carriers and mobile operators around the world. We seek partners that can further expand our network and improve voice quality experience in order to increase the number of carriers and mobile operators around the world who utilize Spectral’s network solutions.
Noot is no longer a working mobile application, however, its foundation of mobile search and machine learning is still relevant today. Given adequate funding to upgrade its software, we believe there are alternative markets in which Noot could enter. The mobile search sector has much room to grow.
With the growth of financial technology (“Fintech”), Monitr has a growing list of competitors, however, we believe that Monitr´s trend detecting software could perform well relative to the competition. Monitr will require substantial additional investment into its software to become competitive in the growing marketplace.
Principal Agreements Affecting Our Ordinary Business
We do not have any current long-term agreements that impact our business.
Information Technology Governmental Regulation
Our operations are subject to various rules, regulations and limitations impacting the information technology industry as whole. We are subject to numerous United States (U.S.) federal, state, and foreign laws and regulations covering a wide variety of subject matters. Like other companies in the technology industry, we face heightened scrutiny from both U.S. and foreign governments with respect to our compliance with laws and regulations. Many of these laws and regulations are evolving and their applicability and scope, as interpreted by the courts, remain uncertain.
Our compliance with these laws and regulations may be onerous and could, individually or in the aggregate, increase our cost of doing business, make our products and services less useful, limit our ability to pursue certain business models, cause us to change our business practices, affect our competitive position relative to our peers, and/or otherwise have an adverse effect on our business, reputation, financial condition, and operating results.
Environmental Matters
We do not anticipate any significant impact of environmental regulations on our business.
OPERATIONS
Spectral is focused on the identification, acquisition, development, and financing of technology that has the potential to transform existing industries. Spectral has acquired significant stakes in two technology companies as well as interests within telecommunications, data and switching services, specifically providing international long distance reselling services on a B2B basis.
20
The majority of our operations consist of fostering partnerships for the expansion of our telecommunication reselling business as well as the development and commercialization of portfolio technology; including attendant information security needs and providing consistent and reliable access to our applications/technology.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
For the year ended December 31, 2022, we have not incurred research and development expenses related to the development of our current software products and for our previous technology business.
COMPETITION
Overview
Some of the largest and most technologically sophisticated and financially successful companies in the world compete in the search engine and software development space. Capital requirements in this space can easily run into the hundreds of millions of dollars and Spectral is in no way able to compete directly against its larger and more well-financed competitors with respect to technology brands which require hundreds of millions of dollars to be spent either on technology development or sales and marketing. Instead, we tend to compete against much smaller companies, with limited capital resources, who are all looking at early-stage technology companies which require 1-4 years of development and $2-$5 million dollars in financing in order to reach critical mass in an important market.
Therefore, Spectral, like its smaller competitors within this space, can compete only by having a low enough overhead, a flexible enough risk profile, patience, a willingness to secure expensive management and technological resources on a flexible project basis and the utilization of equity-based incentives to attract talented personnel who find the risk reward profile of emerging growth companies appealing.
The telecommunications, data and switching services industry is highly competitive, with many companies vying for market share. These companies include large telecommunications providers such as AT&T, T-Mobile, Vodafone and Verizon as well as a number of smaller companies that specialize in specific areas of the industry, such as fiber-optic networks or cloud-based data services. The competition in this industry is intense, with companies constantly striving to innovate and improve their service in order to attract and retain customers. This competition has led to lower prices and better overall service for consumers, as well as the development of new technologies and services.
Data reselling is a competitive market in which companies purchase wholesale access to telecommunications and data networks from large providers and then resell those services to their own customers. These resellers often compete on price, service quality, and the specific services they offer. Some resellers may specialize in certain types of services, such as business-class internet or virtual private networks, while others may focus on serving a specific geographic area or customer demographic. The level of competition in this market can vary depending on the size and concentration of the players involved, as well as on the regulatory environment.
Failure of Competitors
Many of our smaller competitors fail because of improperly architected technology, excessive spending on sales and marketing, information technology security problems, the failure to secure required development capital, the inability to efficiently develop a customer acquisition program cost effectively and the inability to efficiently and cost effectively manage technology development.
Our Competitive Position
We believe that Spectral’s competitive advantage is our ability to find partners who together we can create technology and other services that provide a missing component in an existing market. We look for partners who have a similar work ethic to ours as well as the drive for creating opportunities through technological innovations. Spectral must create a platform where entrepreneurs want to partner with us. The difficulty lies in our ability to offer substantial pay packages so we need to attract entrepreneurs who will work for future payouts based on success.
21
SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS AND SUPPLIERS
We are not particularly dependent on any one customer or supplier.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Overview
Our intellectual property consists almost exclusively of trade secret protectable software code and proprietary information technology architecture.
We regard our intellectual property rights, including trademarks, domain names, trade secrets, patents, copyrights and other similar intellectual property, as critical to our success.
The businesses within our Noot Search and Monitr´s trend detection software rely upon trade secrets, including algorithms for the generation, organization and presentation of search results.
Trademarks
We no longer intend to apply for registration of a trademark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office given the Company’s current status.
Trade Secrets
Whenever we deem it important for purposes of maintaining the secrecy of information, such as sensitive and valuable search algorithms, we require parties with whom we share, or who otherwise are likely to become privy to, our trade secrets or other confidential information to execute and deliver to us confidentiality and/or non-disclosure agreements. Among others, this may include employees, consultants and other advisors, each of whom may require us to execute such an agreement upon commencement of their employment, consulting or advisory relationships. These agreements generally provide that all confidential information developed or made known to the individual by us during the course of the individual’s relationship with us is to be kept confidential and not to be disclosed to third parties except under specific circumstances.
As of the date of this annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, we have executed non-disclosure agreements with key employees, consultants or advisors.
HUMAN CAPITAL
For the year ended December 31, 2022, we had one full-time employee.
We are not subject to any collective bargaining agreements and believe that our relationships with our employees and consultants are good.

OVERVIEW
Spectral Capital Corporation (“Spectral” or the “Company”, also “We” or “Us”) is a technology company focused on the identification, acquisition, development, financing of technology that has the potential to transform existing industries. We have interests in telecommunications, data and switching services, specifically providing international long distance reselling services on a business-to-business (“B2B”) basis. We seek partnerships to expand our business as well as seek technological advancement opportunities that may provide us with a substantial advantage over our competition. Additionally, Spectral has majority ownership of two non-operating technology companies: Noot and Monitr. We believe the underlying technology for both Noot and Monitr has the potential to create profitable businesses on their own but require substantial capital to upgrade their software to become competitive. Spectral currently does not have the financial means for these required upgrades.
PLAN OF OPERATIONS
Spectral Capital is a technology startup accelerator that invests in early stage companies. Spectral targets industry verticals and solutions where disruption and network effects allow for rapid adoption and displacement of incumbents. We work with startups focusing them on rapid development, getting to market, and refining their products and services with innovative features that reflect direct customer and market feedback. In addition to meeting some of the financing needs of our portfolio companies, we provide our teams with executive support at the technology, marketing and operations level in effort to bring optimal results.
24
Our technology portfolio consists of two companies where Spectral is the majority owner: Noot and Monitr.
Noot is a mobile technology company that created the mobile application “Noot” which utilized proprietary search engine technology for mobile devices that delivered personalized information to the user. While Noot is no longer a working mobile application, its foundation of mobile search and machine learning is still relevant today. Given adequate funding to upgrade its software, we believe there are alternative markets in which Noot could enter. The mobile search sector has much room to grow. Currently Spectral is unable to provide the necessary funds for this upgrade.
Monitr, launched in late 2014, is a technology and financial data services company that identifies for investors stocks that its software detects to be trending up in price at the moment.
·Monitr leverages cloud computing, big data and software to analyze the financial markets to discover those stocks that are trending now. Thousands of companies, news stories, blogs and opinion pieces are analyzed daily to uncover the trends and displayed in an accessible and easy-to-use web based interface for investors and traders.
·Many investors use only a few sources to become informed of market conditions, Monitr provides investors with access to thousands of sources.
Monitr specializes in the analysis of news and opinion to determine the aggregate sentiment and trends of equities across markets in part to detect trends and provide relevant data for its users.
With the growth of Fintech, Monitr has a growing list of competitors, however, we believe that Monitr´s trend detecting software could perform well relative to the competition. However, Monitr will require substantial additional investment into its software to become competitive in the growing marketplace. Currently Spectral is unable to provide the necessary funds for this upgrade.
Additionally, we have recently entered the telecommunications, data and switching services market, specifically providing international long distance reselling services on a B2B basis. We form partnerships to expand our business as well as seek technological advancement opportunities that may provide us with a substantial advantage over our competition.
Over the course of the next 12 months, Spectral intends to increase capital so that we may advance our telecommunication reselling business, foster the development of Noot and Monitr as well as expand our portfolio, given adequate capital.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022 AND 2021
Revenues and Cost of Revenues
We are currently engaged in a technology development business and recently commenced operations within the telecom industry. Net, revenues increased from $0 for the year ended December 31, 2021 to $98,323 for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase is due commencing our new business venture in the telecom industry. The Company temporarily paused its current operations during increase is due to launching of our new business venture.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses increased $167,153, from $172,230 for the year ended December 31, 2021 to $339,383 for the year ended December 31, 2022. The significant increase was due to the expansion of our operations due to our new line of business.
25
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of December 31, 2022, we had $87 of cash on hand. We intend to fund operations through the use of cash on hand and through additional advances from our chief executive officer and through debt and equity financings until sufficient cash flows from operations can be achieved.
Net cash used in operating activities increased $16,522, from $28,500 for the year ended December 31, 2021 to $45,022 for the year ended December 31, 2022. This continued low amount of costs was primarily related to the Company having limited operations, due to the cash flow limitations.
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities increased by $27,079 from $28,351 for the year ended December 31, 2021 to $55,530 for the year ended December 31, 2022. Net cash provided by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2022 primarily related to sales of common stock.
We believe that our current financial resources are not sufficient to meet our working capital requirements over the next year. Additional funding will be necessary in order to expand portfolio operations and to reach our goals. Currently, the Company does not have any commitments or assurances for additional capital nor can the Company provide assurance that such financing will be available to it on favorable terms, or at all. If, after utilizing the existing sources of capital available to the Company, further capital needs are identified and the Company is not successful in obtaining the financing, it may be forced to curtail its existing or planned future operations. In addition, if necessary, we will decrease expenses and redirect our efforts towards a sale of one of more of our assets should funding become inadequate.

Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Spectral Capital Corporation (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 20201, 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.
Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company’s minimal activities raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. 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 audit 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 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 audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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 financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

SPECTRAL CAPITAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 – BUSINESS AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Spectral Capital Corporation (the “Company” or “Spectral”) was incorporated on September 13, 2000 under the laws of the State of Nevada. Spectral is focused on the identification, acquisition, development, and financing of technology that has the potential to transform existing industries. Spectral has acquired significant stakes in two technology companies as well as interests within telecommunications, data and switching services, specifically providing international long distance reselling services on a business-to-business (B2B) basis.
In January 2022, the Company commenced a new line of business which is providing data and telecommunications reselling services on a global basis. On February 15, 2022, the Company entered into a telecommunications services agreement with Sky Data PLL OU (Estonia) to provide long distance switching services. The contract does not contain a fixed term or value and is on an as needed basis via invoice for Sky Data PLL OU. The Company is focusing on this line of business and is currently expanding its network on an as needed basis by adding as many ports as its customers require in any given month. We provide business to business (B2) telecommunications interconnection services to mainly Asia, South America and Africa. This is done by negotiating directly with international private and public carriers for telecommunications rates based on certain volume and transaction levels.
Our wholesale voice services provide global routing solutions and direct bilateral connections with many major PTTs, Tier-1 carriers and Mobile operators around the world to further expand our network and improve voice quality. Our global network is comprised of over 100 Tier 1 carriers, Mobile Operators & PTTs from across all continents. A geographically-load balanced, multi-data center architecture design ensures 99.999% uptime and business continuity with 24-hour fully redundant, state-of-the-art Network Operations Center (NOC) and we conduct routine security audits.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company is in the development stage and has sustained substantial losses since inception. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has cash on hand of $
To date management has funded its operations through selling equity securities and advances from related parties. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company generating cash from the sale of its common stock and/or obtaining debt financing and attaining future profitable operations, however, there can be no assurance the Company will be successful in these efforts. As of the date of these consolidated financial statements the Company does not have any firm commitments for capital. Without the required capital, the Company will be required to reduce their development expenditures which will potentially delay the completion of products which are expected to generate future revenues.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company has a limited operating history and has not generated revenues from our planned principal operations.
The Company’s business and operations are sensitive to general business and economic conditions in the U.S. and worldwide. These conditions include short-term and long-term interest rates, inflation, fluctuations in debt and equity capital markets and the general condition of the U.S. and world economy. A host of factors beyond the Company’s control could cause fluctuations in these conditions, including the political environment and acts or threats of war or terrorism. Adverse developments in these general business and economic conditions, including through recession, downturn or otherwise, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition and the results of its operations.
F-7
The Company currently has no sales and limited marketing and/or distribution capabilities. The Company has limited experience in developing, training or managing a sales force and will incur substantial additional expenses if we decide to market any of our current and future products. Developing a marketing and sales force is also time consuming and could delay launch of our future products. In addition, the Company will compete with many companies that currently have extensive and well-funded marketing and sales operations. Our marketing and sales efforts may be unable to compete successfully against these companies. In addition, the Company has limited capital to devote sales and marketing.
The Company’s industry is characterized by rapid changes in technology and customer demands. As a result, the Company’s products may quickly become obsolete and unmarketable. The Company’s future success will depend on its ability to adapt to technological advances, anticipate customer demands, develop new products and enhance our current products on a timely and cost-effective basis. Further, the Company’s products must remain competitive with those of other companies with substantially greater resources. The Company may experience technical or other difficulties that could delay or prevent the development, introduction or marketing of new products or enhanced versions of existing products. Also, the Company may not be able to adapt new or enhanced products to emerging industry standards, and the Company’s new products may not be favourably received. Nor may we have the capital resources to further the development of existing and/or new ones.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, Spectral Holdings, Inc, and its
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are presented in US dollars.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation in accordance with the guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values.
The Company follows ASC Topic 505-50, Equity: Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees for stock options and warrants issued to consultants and other non-employees. In accordance with ASC Topic 505-50, these stock options and warrants issued as compensation for services provided to the Company are accounted for based upon the fair value of the services provided or the estimated fair market value of the option or warrant, whichever can be more clearly determined. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and additional paid-in capital over the period during which services are rendered.
Because the Company’s stock-based compensation options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the estimate, amounts estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model may differ materially from the actual fair value of the Company’s stock-based compensation options.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
F-8
Revenue Recognition
The Company revenues in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, “Revenue from contracts with customers”. Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Revenues during the year ended December 31, 2022, were provided primarily to three customers. The loss of these customers would have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements. At June 30, 2022, the Company paused their operations to improve their internal processes and expect to recommence in second quarter of 2023.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. Applicable accounting guidance provides an established hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 - Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.
The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company does not have any assets or liabilities which would be considered Level 2 or 3.
The Company’s financial instruments primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, deferred revenue and amounts payable to related parties. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these consolidated financial statements.
Income Taxes
The Company follows ASC 740, Income Taxes for recording the provision for income taxes. The asset and liability approach is used to recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Tax law and rate changes are reflected in income in the period such changes are enacted. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The Company includes interest and penalties related to income taxes, including unrecognized tax benefits, within the income tax provision.
The Company’s income tax returns are based on calculations and assumptions that are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities. In addition, the calculation of the Company’s tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations. The Company recognizes liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on a two-step process. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. While the Company believes it has appropriate support for the positions taken on its tax returns, the Company regularly assesses the potential outcomes of examinations by tax authorities in determining the adequacy of its provision for income taxes. The Company continually assesses the likelihood and amount of potential adjustments and adjusts the income tax provision, income taxes payable and deferred taxes in the period in which the facts that give rise to a revision become known.
F-9
The Company recognizes windfall tax benefits associated with share-based awards directly to stockholders’ equity only when realized. A windfall tax benefit occurs when the actual tax benefit realized by the Company upon an employee’s disposition of a share-based award exceeds the deferred tax asset, if any, associated with the award that the Company had recorded. When assessing whether a tax benefit relating to share-based compensation has been realized, the Company follows the tax law ordering method, under which current year share-based compensation deductions are assumed to be utilized before net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes.
We are currently delinquent with respect to our U.S. federal income tax filings for the past several years.
Investment in Securities
The Company’s investments consisting of common shares of non-controlled entities are accounted for on the cost basis. Impairment losses will be recorded when indicators of impairment are present.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Basic Loss Per Share
Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income 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 for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. Common share equivalents totalling zero and
Non-Controlling Interests
Non-controlling interests disclosed within the consolidated statement of operations represent the minority ownership’s 40% share of net losses of Noot Holdings, Inc. and Monitr Holdings, Inc incurred during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. The following table sets forth the changes in non-controlling interest for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021:

Foreign Currency
The Company’s functional currency is the United States Dollar. Transaction gains or losses related to balances denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, ASC Subtopic 470-20 “Debt—Debt with “Conversion and Other Options” and ASC subtopic 815-40 “Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity”. The standard reduced the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. Convertible instruments that continue to be subject to separation models are (1) those with embedded conversion features that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract, that meet the definition of a derivative, and that do not qualify for a scope exception from derivative accounting; and, (2) convertible debt instruments issued with substantial premiums for which the premiums are recorded as paid-in capital. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2022 with no impact on the financial statements.
F-10
The FASB issues ASUs to amend the authoritative literature in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). There have been a number of ASUs to date, including those above, that amend the original text of ASC. Management believes that those issued to date either (i) provide supplemental guidance, (ii) are technical corrections, (iii) are not applicable to the Company or (iv) are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
NOTE 3 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Jenifer Osterwalder, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer
Jenifer Osterwalder charges the Company $12,000 per month beginning January 1, 2021 for services rendered. Previously, she was charging 12,350 CHF per month for services rendered. Total amounts expended in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements in connection with the CEO's services was $
From time to time due to the limited cash flow available, the Company's CEO pays certain operating expenditures on behalf of the Company. These advances bear no interest and are due on demand. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company's CEO was due $
As noted above, all amounts due to the Chief Executive Officer as December 31, 2021, were converted into a convertible note payable. The note is due and demand and convertible at $0.005 per share. During the first quarter of 2022, the Chief Executive Officer sold the $1,054,653 and $206,956 convertible notes to a third party which was then converted into approximately 25.2 million shares in April 2022.
NOTE 4 – STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT
Changes in Stockholders’ Deficit
During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company sold 5 million shares of common stock resulting in proceeds of $49,930.
See Note 3 for discussion of convertible note converted into common stock.
Net loss and non-controlling interest were the only changes to stockholders’ deficit during the year ended December 31, 2021.
Employee Options
The Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation in accordance with the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values.
The Company has adopted a stock option and award plan to attract, retain and motivate its directors, officers, employees, consultants and advisors. Options provide the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company and to benefit from its growth. Vesting terms and conditions are determined by the Board of Directors at the time of the grant. The Plan provides for the issuance of up to 15,000,000 common shares for employees, consultants, directors, and advisors. As of December 31, 2022, all options were expired.

Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carry forwards for federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur net operating loss carry forwards may be limited as to use in future years. The Company is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.

Not applicable.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2022. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, as well as outside consultants. In assessing the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting we utilized the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission as published in “Internal Control over Financial Reporting – Guidance for Smaller Public Companies.” Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer found material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures and therefore concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were ineffective.
The determination of ineffective internal control is based upon the lack of separation of duties, which was first identified during the year ended December 31, 2010. Our entire management is comprised of one individual. It is impossible to create a system of checks and balances with oversight in this circumstance. It is management’s intention to bring additional people into the management team. Once there are more members of management, responsibilities can be divided and oversight roles created. The Company estimates the annual costs of such remediation efforts in the form of additional management will be $150,000 per year. The Company intends to make such hires and create segregation of duties and proper oversight as soon as the capital is obtained.
We understand that remediation of disclosure controls is a continuing work in progress due to the issuance of new standards and promulgations. However, remediation of the material weaknesses described above is among our highest priorities. Our management will periodically assess the progress and sufficiency of our ongoing initiatives and make adjustments as and when necessary. As of the date of this report, our management believes that our efforts will remediate the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as described above.
Notwithstanding these material weaknesses which are described below, our management performed additional analyses, reconciliations and other post-closing procedures and has concluded that the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the periods covered by and included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are fairly stated in all material respects in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. for each of the periods presented herein.
Inherent Limitations Over Internal Controls
The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is 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. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Company’s assets;
(ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that the Company’s receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Company’s management and directors; and
(iii) 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.
14
Management does not expect that the Company’s internal controls will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of internal controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Also, any evaluation of the effectiveness of controls in future periods are subject to the risk that those internal controls may become inadequate because of changes in business conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the company as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the (i) effectiveness and efficiency of operations, (ii) reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and (iii) compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Our internal controls framework is based on the criteria set forth in the Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
Management, consisting of our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting and Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over the Company’s financial reporting.
Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, utilizing the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission as published in “Internal Control over Financial Reporting – Guidance for Smaller Public Companies.” Based on the assessment by management, we determined that our internal control over financial reporting was ineffective as of December 31, 2022.
Changes in Internal Control of Financial Reporting
During the year ended there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
