SPECTRAL CAPITAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2024
(UNAUDITED)
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 such as software, hardware, telecommunications, internet and e-commerce, cloud computing and biotech. Given the competitive landscape within these sectors, Spectral recognizes the potential value and functionality of utilizing artificial intelligence in some or all of its applications. Spectral has acquired significant stakes in two non-active technology companies (Noot and Monitr) 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 January 3, 2022, the Company entered into a telecommunications services agreement with Sky Data PLL OU (Estonia) (“Sky”) 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 from Sky. The Company has paused this line of business and plans to resume activities within the 2024 fiscal year. We intend to keep our partnership with Sky and together form partnerships with existing carriers who have substantial customers and without third party intervention. We intend to provide business to business (B2) telecommunications interconnection services to international clientele and are currently in talks with vendors.
We believe the underlying technologies for both Noot and Monitr have the potential to create profitable businesses on their own but require substantial capital to upgrade their software to become competitive. We are actively seeking optimal partners for these assets in order to develop these services to their full potential.
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 has recently discontinued revenue generating activities and has sustained substantial losses since inception. As of March 31, 2024, 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 its recently established operations, 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 has had to reduce its development expenditures which will 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.
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

SPECTRAL CAPITAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)
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.
Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements have been included. Such adjustments consist of normal recurring adjustments. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2023. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 is not indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, Spectral Holdings, Inc, and its 60% owned subsidiaries, Noot Holdings, Inc. from its date of incorporation of February 28, 2013, and Monitr Holdings, Inc. from its date of incorporation of December 1, 2013. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Basis of Presentation
The 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.
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. |
F-7
SPECTRAL CAPITAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2024
(UNAUDITED)
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 March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company does not have any assets or liabilities which would be considered Level 2 or 3.
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, investments in technologies and related party advances. 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.
The Company measures certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets include cost method investments when they are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired, assets acquired and liabilities assumed in an acquisition or in a nonmonetary exchange, and property and equipment and intangible assets that are written down to fair value when they are held for sale or determined to be impaired. Excluding these items, the Company did not have any significant assets or liabilities that were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in periods subsequent to initial recognition.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
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 three months ended March 31, 2023, 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 its operations to improve its internal processes and expected to recommence in third quarter of 2024.
Basic Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income (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. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2024, the Company did not have any dilutive shares.
Non-Controlling Interests
Non-controlling interest disclosed within the consolidated statement of operations represents the minority ownership 40% share of net income (losses) of Noot Holdings, Inc. and Monitr Holdings, Inc. incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The following table sets forth the changes in non-controlling interest for the three months ended March 31, 2024:

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. As a result of these foreign currency transactions in which require payment in a currency other than the United States Dollar, the Company has recorded foreign currency (income) losses within the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The FASB issues ASUs to amend the authoritative literature in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“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 statement.

We look for technology that can be protected through patents or laws regarding trade secrets. Spectral has acquired significant stakes in two technology companies. Spectral intends to own, in full or in part, technology companies whose founders and key management can take advantage of the deep networks and experience in technology development embodied in Spectral management.
In December 2021, we began providing wholesale telecommunications, data and switching services consisting of international long distance reselling services on a business-to-business (“B2B”) basis. Since December 2021, we have provided this service in conjunction with approximately 3 network providers who, in turn, provided services directly to customers around the world. We paused these services in Q3 2022 because we believed that we could increase our profits if we could find partners that provide real time data exchange and technical advantages over what we had previously. We intend to resume this business in the third quarter of 2024.
On January 3, 2022, we entered into a telecommunications services agreement with Sky Data PLL OU (Estonia) (“Sky”) to provide long distance switching services. We provided services under this agreement to 3 customers and generated $98,323 of revenue from the contract during 2022. We have paused this line of business and plan to resume our telecommunications reselling services through our partnership with SKY within the 2024 fiscal year and without third-party intervention. Testing of these services will begin initially via SKY, and after sufficient revenue streams and data providers have been resolved, we intend to join this arrangement. Having control of this traffic will allow full transparency and full control of this line of business and will allow us to scale the initial small traffic into higher amounts without added costs.
The company plans to resume operations of our two technology companies: Noot and Monitr when we have the needed capital and partners.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses increased $1,349, from $63,515 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 to $64,864 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The Company’s operations were similar in nature for both periods.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2024, we had $1,060 cash on hand. We intend to fund operations through the use of cash on hand, cash flows from operations and through debt and equity financings until sufficient cash flows from operations can be achieved.
Net cash used in operating, activities increased $19,665 from $8,515 in cash used during the three months ended March 31, 2023 to $28,160 cash used in the three months ended March 31, 2024. This increase was due to the Company collecting a significant amount of accounts receivable in the prior year.
Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $29,000 from $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 to $29,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Net cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2024 related to proceeds from short term advances.
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 favourable 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.
Our short-term prospects are promising given our success to date in securing the two portfolio companies, Noot and Monitr. We believe we will experience significant operational and financial growth from these and other portfolio companies during the next 12 months. However, we need significant capital to implement our plan.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
As required by Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), our management, including our principal executive officer and principal accounting officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing evaluation, we have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2024 and that they do not allow for information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive and Principal Accounting & Financial Officers as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The material weaknesses were first identified in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 in which related to a lack of an accounting staff resulting in a lack of segregation of duties necessary for an effective system of internal control. The weakness in segregation of duties will continue to exist until such time as management can retain internal staff to properly segregate duties.
(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
