Summary Risk Factors
Our business is subject to a number of risks of which you should be aware before making a decision to invest in our securities.
These known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors include, without limitation:
●We will require a significant amount of cash for expenditures as we invest in ongoing research and development and business operations and we need additional capital immediately. If we do not receive additional capital immediately, we will fail. We have previously received capital from our officers and directors and we anticipate this will continue to be the case until third party financing is secured, but there can be no assurance that either source of funds comes to fruition.
●We are in our early stages and have a limited operating history, which makes it difficult to forecast our future results of operations. We have in the past failed to meet publicly announced milestones and may fail to meet projected technological milestones in the future. In addition, we have in the past changed our technology roadmap, including the anticipated milestones and timing thereof and we will probably do so again.
●We have a history of operating losses and expect to incur significant expenses and continuing losses for the foreseeable future.
●Even if the market in which we compete achieves its anticipated growth levels, our business could fail to grow at similar rates, if at all.
●Our ability to use net operating loss carry forwards and other tax attributes may be limited.
●We have not produced any hybrid classical, quantum, AI systems or products or developed any revenue from our quantum forward software business and we face significant barriers in our attempts to produce quantum chips and semiconductor designs, including the need to invent and develop new technology. If we cannot successfully overcome those barriers, our business will be negatively impacted and could fail.
●Our ability to identify and close accretive acquisitions
●Our ability to profitably license our technology
●The hybrid quantum computing industry is competitive on a global scale and we may not be successful in competing in this industry.
●We did not develop and revenue during the year 2024 and our current revenue is dependent on technology licensing which we may not able to sustain.
●We rely on access to high performance third party classical computing through public clouds, high performance computing centers and on-premises computing infrastructure to deliver performant hybrid quantum solutions to prospective customers. We may not be able to maintain high quality business relationships and connectivity with these resources which could make it harder for us to reach customers or deliver solutions in a cost-effective manner.
●We depend on certain suppliers to source products. Failure to maintain our relationship with any of these suppliers could have a material adverse effect on our business.
●We have and may in the future enter into collaboration agreements and similar arrangements with third parties for the development of our products, from data centers to software to semiconductors, and these arrangements may never achieve their goals.
●If we are unable to procure the necessary tools, supplies and equipment to commercialize and continue to develop our quantum friendly software or otherwise develop product, or are unable to do so on a timely and cost-effective basis, we may fail.
4
●Even if we are successful in quantum semiconductors and commercializing related software and executing our strategy, competitors in the industry may achieve technological breakthroughs which render our quantum computing solutions obsolete or inferior to other products.
●We may be unable to reduce the cost of developing our or commercializing our intellectual property or software, which may prevent us from pricing our products or licensed IP competitively.
●The quantum computing industry is in its early stages and volatile, and if it does not develop, if it develops more slowly than we expect, if it develops in a manner that does not require use of our quantum computing solutions, if it encounters negative publicity or if our solution does not drive commercial engagement, the growth of our business will be harmed.
●We could suffer disruptions, outages, defects and other performance and quality problems with our quantum computing systems, our production technology partners or with the public cloud, data centers and internet infrastructure on which we rely.
●If our information technology systems or data, or those of third parties upon which we rely, are or were compromised, we could experience adverse consequences resulting from such compromise.
●We have in the past identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, leading to a restatement of our financial statements for prior periods. If we identify additional material weaknesses or if we otherwise fail to establish and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, it may adversely affect our ability to accurately and timely report our financial results in the future, and may adversely affect investor confidence, our reputation, our ability to raise additional capital and our business operations and financial condition.
●Our failure to obtain, maintain and protect our intellectual property rights could impair our ability to protect and commercialize our proprietary products and technology.
●Sales of our securities, or perceptions of sales, by us or holders of our securities in the public markets or otherwise could cause the market price for our securities to decline and even in such case certain holders of our securities may still have an incentive to sell our securities.
●Unstable market and economic conditions have had and may continue to have serious adverse consequences on our business, financial condition and share price.
●Our outstanding warrants and stock options are exercisable for Common Stock. We also issue restricted stock units to our employees. The exercise of our outstanding warrants and stock options and vesting of our outstanding restricted stock units increases the number of shares eligible for future resale in the public market, resulting in dilution to our stockholders.
●We have issued or will issue a large number of shares in the context of acquisitions. These acquistions may end up producing less value than anticipated or no value. In addition, resale of these shares could have a substantial, material and depressive impact on our stock price.
These statements relate to future events or to our future financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement in this Annual Report on Form 10-K reflects our current view with respect to future events and is subject to these and other risks, uncertainties, and assumptions relating to our operations, results of operations, industry, and future growth. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements for any reason, even if new information becomes available in the future.
This Annual Report on Form 10-K also contains estimates, projections, and other information concerning our industry, our business, and the markets for certain drugs, including data regarding the estimated size of those markets, their projected growth rates, and the incidence of certain medical conditions. Information that is based on estimates, forecasts, projections, or similar methodologies is inherently subject to uncertainties, and actual events or circumstances may differ materially from events and circumstances reflected in this information.

PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
OVERVIEW
Overview
Strategic Transformation and Focus
Spectral Capital Corporation is a publicly traded deep quantum technology platform company that has transformed from a technology incubator into an operator of integrated quantum computing solutions. Based in Seattle, Washington, Spectral now specializes in “Quantum as a Service” (QaaS) – delivering quantum computing power and next-generation cloud services through a decentralized, quantum-ready infrastructure. This strategic evolution, initiated in 2024, positions Spectral at the forefront of the emerging quantum era by bridging the gap between classical computing and quantum innovation. Spectral’s mission is to develop and operate a fully integrated platform combining distributed cloud architecture, quantum algorithms, and advanced hardware to make quantum computing practical, scalable, and energy-efficient for real-world applications. Our business relies on four pillars for growth (1) the continued development of a patent and trade secret portfolio at the leading edge of integration between artificial intelligence (AI) and hybrid classical computing, together called our intellectual property (IP) (2) the monetization of our IP through licensing deals that provide us cash revenue as well as shares of stock in licensee companies: (3) the development of high value software products based on our IP that are easy and cost-effective for us to develop and that can provide dramatic increases in risk-adjusted return; (4) acquisition of small technology companies and radical increases in their top line and bottom line revenue through the integration of our IP in their legacy operations.
Key Developments in 2024
Over the past year, Spectral has executed a series of strategic initiatives and acquisitions to build out its quantum technology platform and expand its market presence:
Patent Portfolio Expansion:
In 2024, Spectral Capital filed 104 patent applications across a broad range of advanced technologies including artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and autonomous systems. This aggressive expansion of our IP portfolio reflects our commitment to building long-term value through innovation. These patents form the foundation of our technology commercialization strategy and support potential licensing, joint ventures, and future revenue streams. The filings span both U.S. and international jurisdictions and are aligned with high-growth sectors where Spectral is actively engaged in product development and strategic discussions with leading OEMs and institutional partners.
Scientific Research and Pipeline Development:
In parallel with our 2024 patent filings, Spectral engaged in foundational scientific work that has resulted in a robust pipeline of more than 400 additional patentable innovations. These inventions are currently undergoing internal validation and drafting, with phased filings scheduled to continue through 2025 and 2026. This pipeline reflects breakthroughs in system architectures, signal processing, applied machine learning, and patents related to photonic-qubit integration. The rigor of this foundational work positions Spectral as a technology leader and creates optionality across potential licensing, potential spinouts, and potential joint R\&D ventures with academic, corporate, and government stakeholders in North America, Europe, and Asia.
Strategic Consultant Engagements:
During 2024, Spectral onboarded a number of senior scientific and commercial consultants with proven track records in intellectual property development, deep tech commercialization, and regulatory strategy. These engagements significantly accelerated our internal R\&D velocity and improved the defensibility of our patent claims. The consultants include former senior engineers, IP counsel, and regulatory experts from leading firms in AI, quantum computing, semiconductors, and cybersecurity. Their contributions have strengthened our patent applications, streamlined our innovation capture process, and provided critical insights into global IP protection frameworks and commercialization pathways in both regulated and rapidly evolving markets.
Rescission of Brehm Transactions and Preservation of Core IP
In Q2 2025, Spectral Capital successfully rescinded a series of transactions involving former Chairman Sean Michael Brehm and related entities. These transactions were found to be a suboptimal use of shareholder value. The rescission preserved our core independently developed intellectual property, clarified ownership of more than 100 provisional patents, and returned over \$100 million in share-based consideration to Spectral’s shareholders. This decisive action restored investor confidence, strengthened corporate governance, and allowed Spectral to refocus resources on advancing its proprietary technology portfolio and strategic partnerships.

Platform and Operations
Spectral’s current operations center on developing and integrating its quantum-enabled cloud platform, which is comprised of several interrelated components and offerings:
Intellectual Property Development:
At the foundation of Spectral’s business model is the creation of a differentiated portfolio of intellectual property, including patents and trade secrets that combine artificial intelligence with hybrid classical computing architectures. This work positions Spectral at the convergence of software, hardware, and algorithmic innovation. In 2024, we filed 104 provisional patent applications and laid the groundwork for hundreds more. Our IP strategy emphasizes defensible claims, cross-sector applications, and forward-looking innovation to support licensing, product development, and joint ventures. This deep IP base enables us to build and control key technologies underlying the next generation of high-performance computation.
IP Monetization and Licensing Strategy:
Spectral is committed to monetizing its intellectual property through carefully structured licensing agreements. These deals provide immediate and long-term financial returns by securing both cash payments and equity stakes in licensee companies. Our licensing model targets firms across artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, and quantum-enabled technologies, allowing us to generate diversified revenue while maintaining strategic influence. Equity participation ensures alignment with long-term upside potential. We continue to negotiate multiple new agreements, and our pipeline includes prospective licensees ranging from venture-backed startups to publicly traded enterprises, all seeking to integrate advanced AI and hybrid compute capabilities into their offerings.
Software Product Development:
Spectral develops proprietary software products that are based on its patented technologies and trade secrets. These tools are designed to be lightweight, scalable, and cost-efficient to build, with a focus on producing high-value applications that improve decision-making, risk management, and operational intelligence. Many of these software tools can be deployed quickly and generate measurable improvements in risk-adjusted return for users. Because of our deep internal IP base, Spectral can create these products with minimal reliance on external engineering resources. These products also serve as proof points for the broader commercial applicability of our core inventions.
Value-Driven Acquisition Strategy:
Spectral targets the acquisition of small technology companies with promising assets but underutilized IP or limited access to scalable AI tools. Upon acquisition, we deploy our intellectual property into the operations of these companies to unlock top-line growth and dramatically enhance profitability. This model allows Spectral to create rapid enterprise value by combining our proprietary capabilities with the domain expertise and distribution networks of the acquired entity. Post-acquisition integration is led by our internal technical and product development teams, who work to transform these businesses into high-margin, defensible operations with the potential for follow-on capital events or exit opportunities.
Integrated Growth Platform:
The synergy of Spectral’s IP creation, licensing, product development, and acquisition strategies forms an integrated platform designed for scalable and capital-efficient growth. Each pillar reinforces the others: IP development feeds licensing and product initiatives; software products demonstrate market validation; and acquired businesses amplify value creation through applied innovation. This cross-functional approach allows Spectral to remain agile and opportunistic while building long-term enterprise value. Our operating structure is designed to leverage internal innovation, minimize overhead, and rapidly adapt to shifts in technology and market dynamics. As a result, we are positioned for sustainable, innovation-driven growth in complex global markets.
Market Position and Strategy
Spectral Capital is building a differentiated position at the convergence of artificial intelligence, hybrid classical computing, and next-generation infrastructure. Unlike firms that narrowly focus on single-point technologies such as quantum processors or large-scale cloud deployments, Spectral is developing a vertically integrated platform rooted in proprietary intellectual property. Our strategy blends deep scientific research, high-value software development, and strategic acquisitions to unlock scalable value across industries. By leading the integration of AI-driven algorithms with hybrid computing frameworks, Spectral aims to redefine how enterprises and governments access advanced computational power without requiring internal expertise in quantum or specialized AI architecture.
Spectral’s business model is anchored in four mutually reinforcing pillars: the continued development of our patent and trade secret portfolio, the monetization of that IP through licensing, the creation of software products that are simple to deploy but deliver substantial ROI, and the acquisition of small technology companies that can be transformed by embedding Spectral’s IP into their operations. This ecosystem-driven approach allows us to rapidly expand our influence while remaining capital-efficient. In 2024, we filed 104 patents and laid the scientific groundwork for an additional 400 inventions in process—positioning Spectral among the most prolific early-stage IP developers in emerging computation technologies.
The Company operates in a dynamic market shaped by growing demand for secure, intelligent, and energy-efficient computing solutions. Our focus on domains such as cybersecurity, data analytics, logistics optimization, and simulation—especially those requiring high-dimensional computation—enables us to serve pressing real-world needs. Spectral’s strategy to embed quantum-inspired and AI-accelerated capabilities into familiar cloud and software delivery models lowers the
7
adoption barrier for customers while preserving long-term defensibility. Our commitment to decentralized infrastructure and green compute practices further aligns our offerings with the market’s increasing prioritization of sustainability, privacy, and technological sovereignty.
To support this strategy, Spectral actively engages in partnerships with research institutions, infrastructure developers, and commercial collaborators. These alliances accelerate our go-to-market efforts, enrich our technical roadmap, and support co-development of industry-specific applications. Additionally, we have brought on a team of senior consultants to guide IP development and commercialization. These efforts are complemented by targeted acquisitions, which not only expand our operating footprint but also provide high-leverage opportunities to deploy our core technologies. Our integrated platform strategy—grounded in innovation, monetization, and transformation—positions Spectral to become a leading force in the evolution of enterprise-grade computational intelligence.
Outlook
Spectral Capital enters 2025 with a focused strategy to commercialize its growing intellectual property portfolio, scale operational capabilities, and maximize the value of its four-pillar platform. In the near term, the Company is prioritizing integration of technologies acquired in 2024, and accelerating the deployment of software products and licensing arrangements derived from our 104 filed patents and over 400 additional inventions in development. These efforts will support near-term monetization and proof of concept for our broader technology base. Initial pilots of Spectral’s AI- and quantum-enhanced software solutions are expected to generate early customer validation, enabling conversion of IP into recurring revenue.
Spectral’s outlook is rooted in the accelerating demand for advanced computing capabilities across cybersecurity, data intelligence, and predictive modeling. By delivering a unified platform built on high-value intellectual property, Spectral aims to offer practical, scalable, and secure tools that meet enterprise and government needs. Our hybrid architecture and IP licensing model are designed to minimize deployment friction and offer rapid ROI, allowing customers to access cutting-edge capabilities without internal quantum expertise or capital expenditures. Management believes this approach positions Spectral as a potential market-maker in the emerging category of AI- and quantum-enabled enterprise infrastructure.
Looking forward, Spectral remains committed to its vision of leading the next generation of intelligent computing. However, the Company also recognizes the substantial capital and technical execution required to fulfill this vision. As such, Spectral is actively evaluating a range of strategic alternatives—including potential joint ventures, IP licensing arrangements, acquisitions and platform partnerships—to optimize shareholder value while ensuring technical continuity and go-to-market execution. Management remains focused on balancing bold innovation with disciplined financial stewardship as the Company transitions from an R\&D-centric organization to an integrated platform business with commercial momentum.

Currently, our operating expenses are approximately $83,000 per month. If we fail to generate sufficient revenues or raise additional funds to meet our monthly operating costs, we will have available cash for our operating needs for approximately one month.
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. As disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 27, 2023, since our inception, we have had various names and failed business plans. Since July 27, 2010, we have operated under the name Spectral Capital Corporation.
On August 8, 2022, we increased our common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, from 500,000,000 to 1,000,000,000 (the “Increase in Authorized Capital”). On November 22, 2022, we effected a reverse stock split of our common stock whereby every ten (10) shares of issued and outstanding common stock was combined into one (1) share of common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”).
On February 26, 2013, we signed a definitive Technology Acquisition Agreement to acquire mobile search engine and mobile sharing technology from Fiveseas Securities Ltd. (“Fiveseas”). Under the agreement, we issued Fiveseas 5,000,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001. The agreement called for the technology to reside within a newly formed Delaware corporation called Noot Holdings, Inc. (“Noot”), which we formed on February 28, 2013 and are 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.

PRINCIPAL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
Products and Services
Spectral Capital Corporation offers a suite of products and services built upon its proprietary intellectual property portfolio at the intersection of artificial intelligence, hybrid classical computing, and emerging quantum technologies. The Company’s platform is structured around four key growth pillars: (1) the development of patentable and protectable IP, (2) the monetization of that IP through licensing and equity-based deals, (3) the creation of cost-effective software solutions that embody our core innovations, and (4) the acquisition and transformation of technology businesses through IP integration. Each product or service offered by Spectral derives from or reinforces one or more of these strategic pillars.
At the core of Spectral’s offering is its intellectual property licensing business, which enables third-party enterprises to incorporate Spectral’s inventions into their technology stacks. Licensing agreements typically include both cash payments and equity participation, giving Spectral immediate revenue upside as well as longer-term exposure to the growth of its partners. These licenses are especially valuable for companies in AI, autonomous systems, cybersecurity, logistics, and advanced analytics that seek to differentiate their offerings using cutting-edge algorithms or architectures developed by Spectral.
Spectral also offers a growing portfolio of AI-enhanced software products designed to demonstrate and commercialize the company’s proprietary technology. These products are modular, lightweight, and designed for rapid deployment. Many are built to serve functions such as secure data search, model optimization, pattern recognition, and probabilistic reasoning—

applications where hybrid AI-quantum approaches provide material performance advantages over traditional software. These tools are designed to improve risk-adjusted decision-making, reduce computing costs, and expand the analytical capabilities of enterprises without requiring major infrastructure investment.
In parallel, the Company is also developing an intelligent cloud compute environment tailored for high-dimensional AI and quantum-inspired workloads. This environment will integrate decentralized edge computing with scalable hybrid architecture to offer clients both performance and data sovereignty. Though still in the R&D phase, is expected to support quantum-enhanced simulation, ultra-secure computation, and real-time distributed intelligence for enterprise and government customers. The service is being developed with a focus on low latency, high privacy, and flexible deployment options, especially in regulated or mission-critical industries.
Spectral’s acquisition and transformation services comprise a distinctive element of its value proposition. The Company seeks out underperforming or undercapitalized technology firms with valuable legacy assets and potential for growth through integration of Spectral’s IP. After acquisition, Spectral deploys its AI and hybrid computing capabilities into the operations of the acquired entity, resulting in increased top-line revenue, expanded margins, and renewed market relevance. This playbook not only generates immediate operational improvements but also opens opportunities for follow-on monetization through resale, joint ventures, or IPO pathways.
Collectively, Spectral’s products and services reflect a vertically integrated strategy that blends IP creation, monetization, productization, and transformation into a cohesive platform. This approach enables Spectral to generate diversified revenue streams while amplifying the reach and impact of its core innovations across sectors and geographies.

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 because we have very limited resources and have not located sources of capital to fund our operations.
Competition
We compete with a wide variety of parties in connection with our efforts. The AI and hybrid quantum as a service (QaaS) industry is rapidly evolving, with major tech giants like IBM, Google, and Microsoft competing alongside specialized startups such as Rigetti Computing, IonQ, and D-Wave plus many other emerging AI companies such as Anthropic, Scale AI, Shield AI and others. These companies are racing to offer cloud-based access to robust data models and neural nets, as well as hybrid environments in which problems can be tackled on quantum processors, enabling researchers and businesses to experiment with quantum algorithms without owning expensive hardware. Much of the competition centers on hardware approaches — superconducting qubits, trapped ions, and photonic systems — each offering unique advantages in terms of scalability and error correction. Additionally, players are differentiating themselves through software ecosystems, developer tools, and partnerships with industries like finance, pharmaceuticals, and logistics to explore real-world applications. As the technology matures, competition is intensifying around performance benchmarks, ease of integration, and the development of practical use cases, shaping a dynamic and fast-growing market.
Moreover, many 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. We are dependent upon the receipt of capital to fund our operations, which may not become available to us, and even if available it, may not be available upon commercially reasonable terms.
Principal Agreements Affecting Our Ordinary Business
We do not have any current long-term agreements that impact our business.
10
Information Technology Governmental Regulation
Our operations are subject to various rules, regulations and limitations impacting the information technology industry as a 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 Capital Corporation operates as a next-generation technology platform company focused on the systematic development, monetization, and application of intellectual property at the frontier of artificial intelligence (AI) and hybrid classical computing. Our business model is designed around four interlocking growth pillars: (1) the continued expansion of a robust patent and trade secret portfolio, (2) the monetization of that intellectual property through licensing agreements and equity-linked partnerships, (3) the creation of scalable, software-based products leveraging our proprietary technologies, and (4) the acquisition and transformation of small technology businesses through integration of Spectral's IP. This integrated approach supports both near-term cash generation and long-term enterprise value creation.
1. Intellectual Property Development
At the core of Spectral’s operations is its commitment to building a defensible and forward-looking intellectual property portfolio. In 2024, we filed 104 new patent applications covering innovations across AI architecture, probabilistic modeling, optimization techniques, quantum-classical hybrid computing, and secure computation. These patents reflect internal research conducted by our scientific and engineering consultants, as well as technology developed through our integration of acquired entities.
In parallel, Spectral has established a structured internal process for IP generation, which includes invention harvesting sessions, collaboration with outside technical consultants, and an internal review and vetting framework that ensures high-value, novel, and commercially relevant filings. This process has resulted in the development of over 400 additional patentable inventions, which we expect to file on a phased basis throughout 2025 and 2026. We believe this makes Spectral one of the most prolific early-stage IP generators in our target domains.
2. Licensing and IP Monetization
Licensing of Spectral’s intellectual property represents a major channel for revenue and equity upside. Our licensing model typically includes upfront cash payments, ongoing royalties, and/or equity stakes in licensee companies. This dual-structure model allows us to capture both current income and long-term appreciation as our partners grow. We target firms across multiple sectors including AI-enabled software, edge computing, autonomous systems, cybersecurity, and industrial automation. These sectors benefit from Spectral’s unique capabilities in scalable algorithms, hybrid compute methods, and secure data processing.
Spectral has ongoing licensing discussions with several early-stage and mid-market companies and anticipates finalizing new agreements throughout the coming fiscal year. We are also exploring broader joint development and white-labeling opportunities that allow third-party firms to embed our technology into their existing platforms.
3. Software Product Development
In addition to licensing its technologies, Spectral develops high-value software products that showcase and operationalize its inventions. These products are designed to be cost-effective to build and deploy, relying heavily on reusable code modules and algorithmic libraries developed in-house. Our software tools address critical needs in analytics, risk forecasting, high-efficiency search, anomaly detection, and automated decision-making.
These solutions are typically designed as standalone or API-accessible tools and are suitable for rapid pilot testing and scalable deployment. Because the products are IP-rich, they serve the dual purpose of generating revenue and validating the commercial viability of our underlying inventions. Software revenue is expected to grow as we continue to commercialize our internally developed tools and expand our licensing base.
11
4. Strategic Acquisitions and Business Transformation
Spectral pursues targeted acquisitions of small, undercapitalized, or undervalued technology firms with latent potential that can be unlocked through application of our IP. These businesses often have customer relationships, domain expertise, or specialized distribution channels but lack scalable technological differentiation.
Upon acquisition, Spectral deploys its proprietary tools and patented processes to transform these operations. We integrate AI-enhanced analytics, automated workflows, and new product offerings that significantly increase revenue and operational efficiency. By focusing on IP-led transformation, we aim to drive both top-line growth and substantial margin expansion in the acquired entities. In 2024, we began implementing this strategy with early acquisition targets and expect to report initial performance improvements in 2025.
Organizational Capabilities
To support our operations, Spectral has assembled a cross-disciplinary team of inventors, engineers, consultants, and business strategists. In 2024, we added a number of highly experienced advisors in IP law, AI model design, computational physics, and corporate development. This bench of experts enhances our capacity to identify patentable innovations, ensure rigorous filings, and guide technical and commercial validation of our IP. The team operates in a distributed structure across North America and Europe, giving us access to global expertise and operational flexibility.
Our operational infrastructure is lean by design, with a strong emphasis on leveraging automation, cloud-based development environments, and modular deployment strategies to maximize return on R\&D investment. This capital-efficient operating model enables Spectral to generate high-value outputs with minimal fixed overhead, while retaining the agility to scale with opportunity.
Technology and Market Positioning
Spectral’s operations are uniquely positioned at the convergence of three critical technology trends: AI acceleration, hybrid computing, and IP-driven enterprise infrastructure. By focusing on technologies that sit at the intersection of these trends, we position ourselves not only as an innovator but as a multiplier for others’ success—whether through licensing, acquisition, or product deployment. Our emphasis on hybrid classical architectures allows us to provide practical, near-term enhancements to existing systems while preserving forward compatibility with quantum and neuromorphic compute systems as they mature.
Our products and services are designed to align with the growing demand for scalable, high-performance computation in privacy-sensitive, regulated, or high-complexity domains such as healthcare, finance, logistics, and defense. We view this positioning as a durable source of long-term differentiation and value creation.
Outlook for Operations
In 2025, Spectral plans to significantly expand its operational footprint in all four pillars. We anticipate a sharp increase in patent filings, a broadening of our licensing relationships, a commercial launch of multiple proprietary software tools, and follow-on acquisitions to reinforce our transformation strategy. These activities will be supported by continued expansion of our expert network and disciplined capital allocation aimed at maximizing shareholder value. We believe our integrated approach—rooted in original invention and practical deployment—uniquely positions Spectral to thrive in a rapidly evolving technological landscape.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
For the year ended December 31, 2024, we incurred research and development expenses of $745,024 related to the development of our current software products. This expense consists of expenses related to our technology acquisitions, primarily the acquisition of the Node Nexus Network technology which were subsequently rescinded.
SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS AND SUPPLIERS
In the year ended December 31, 2024, we had 0 customers. And presently have 1 customer whom we are entirely dependent on for our current revenue. We expect this to change over the next 180 days.

Available Information
Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Markets, OTCQB, under the symbol “FCCN”. We file annual, quarterly, and current reports and other information with the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). These filings are available to the public on the Internet at the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov. We maintain a website where our annual, quarterly and current reports and amendments to those reports, if any, are available free of charge.
Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
Risk Factors: Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risk factors before making an investment decision.
·History of losses and going concern uncertainty: We have incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows since inception and expect to continue incurring losses for the foreseeable future. These factors, along with our limited cash resources, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern without additional financing.
·Need for additional financing: We will require substantial additional capital to fund our operations and research and development activities, and such financing may not be available when needed on acceptable terms, if at all. If we are unable to obtain sufficient funding timely, we may be forced to delay, scale back, or cease our development efforts and business operations.
·Potential dilution from future offerings: Any additional equity financings to raise required capital could result in significant dilution to existing shareholders, and the securities issued may have rights, preferences, or privileges senior to those of our current common stock. If we incur debt financing, we may be subject to restrictive covenants and repayment obligations that could further constrain our business.
·Limited operating history and early-stage risks: We are a development-stage company with a very limited operating history in our current line of business, making it difficult to evaluate our prospects or forecast our revenues and earnings. Our business plan is unproven, and an investment in our company is highly speculative, involving numerous uncertainties common to early-stage companies in rapidly evolving industries.
·Unproven market; no assurance of commercial success: The market for our quantum computing and software technologies is still emerging and unproven. Even if we successfully develop our products, there is no guarantee they will achieve commercial feasibility or market acceptance. Our solutions may not perform as intended in real-world applications, and customers may not adopt our technology over existing or competing solutions, which would prevent us from generating meaningful revenue.
·Intense competition and competitive disadvantages: We face intense competition from both established technology companies and new entrants, many of which have far greater financial, technical, and marketing resources than we do. Our larger competitors have longer operating histories, well-established customer bases, and strong brand recognition, enabling them to respond more quickly to emerging technologies or pricing pressures – we may lack the resources to compete effectively, potentially losing market share and revenue.
·Rapid technological change and risk of obsolescence: We operate in a rapidly evolving industry. Frequent technological innovations and the introduction of new products or protocols could quickly render our existing technology or products obsolete or uncompetitive. If we fail to anticipate or keep pace with technological developments – for example, if competitors develop superior solutions or if changes in technology reduce the need for our encryption and quantum computing innovations – the demand for our products could decline significantly.
·Significant R&D investment with uncertain results: Our business model requires continuous and substantial investments in research and development, but these efforts are expensive and time-consuming with no guaranteed outcome. We may encounter unforeseen technical challenges that delay development, and even if we devote considerable resources, our R&D may not yield any viable or marketable products, improvements, cost savings, or other expected benefits. Failing to achieve meaningful returns on our R&D investments would materially and adversely affect our business and operating results.
·Intellectual property protection and infringement risks: Our success depends in part on our ability to obtain and protect patents, trade secrets, and other intellectual property for our proprietary technologies. We may be unable to adequately secure or enforce our intellectual property rights – for instance, patent applications may not result in issued patents or may fail to provide effective protection against competitors. In addition, third parties may allege that our technologies infringe on their intellectual property rights, leading to costly litigation or licensing requirements. Any inability to protect our own technology or defend against IP claims by others could harm our business by forcing us to suspend operations, alter products, or pay significant damage awards or royalties.
·Regulatory compliance costs and burdens: As a publicly traded company, we are subject to extensive SEC regulations, disclosure requirements, and accounting rules that impose significant compliance costs and administrative burdens on our small organization. Complying with these obligations (including establishing
15
effective internal controls and procedures) strains our managerial and financial resources. Any failure to maintain compliance with public company reporting and governance requirements could result in regulatory sanctions, reputational damage, or other adverse effects on our business.
·Data privacy and cybersecurity regulations: We are or may become subject to data protection, privacy, and cybersecurity laws and regulations in the jurisdictions where we operate. These laws are rapidly evolving and becoming more stringent over time. Failure to comply with applicable privacy and security requirements, or any actual or perceived compromise of personal data, could result in regulatory enforcement actions (including heavy fines and penalties) and significant harm to our reputation.
·Export controls and trade restrictions: Our products and technologies, particularly in encryption and advanced computing, could be subject to U.S. export control laws or other governmental trade restrictions. Any limitation on our ability to export or sell our products in certain markets – for example, due to export license requirements or trade sanctions – would likely adversely affect our business, financial condition, and growth prospects. Changes in trade policies or international relations could further impact our access to global markets and supply chains.
·Dependence on key personnel and limited human resources: We rely on a very small team of executives, engineers, and advisors to conduct our operations (we had only one full-time employee as of a recent fiscal year). The loss of any member of senior management or other key personnel, or our inability to attract and retain additional qualified employees (particularly those with specialized technical expertise), could significantly delay or prevent us from achieving our development and strategic objectives. With such limited staffing, even short-term personnel disruptions could have an outsized impact on our business.
·Operational and growth management challenges: Our current infrastructure and systems may be inadequate to support rapid growth or multiple concurrent projects. Any significant expansion of our business will place a heavy strain on our management and operational resources. We may experience difficulties in scaling our operations, including challenges in financial controls, project management, and regulatory compliance across different jurisdictions. If we cannot effectively manage our growth or operational complexity, our business and financial results could suffer.
·Market conditions and external risks: Our business can be materially affected by external factors beyond our control, including general economic and market conditions. Economic downturns, inflationary pressures, disruptions in credit or capital markets, or geopolitical events (such as international conflicts or trade wars) could reduce the demand for emerging technologies like ours and make it more difficult or expensive to raise additional capital. Adverse macroeconomic conditions or instability in financial markets may therefore pose significant risks to our business outlook and ability to execute our plans.
·Low trading volume and penny stock status: Our common stock is thinly traded on the OTC market and is considered a “penny stock.” As a result, investors may experience limited liquidity and extreme stock price volatility. FINRA rules impose additional requirements on broker-dealers for transactions involving penny stocks, which may discourage brokerage firms from recommending or trading our shares, thereby limiting shareholders’ ability to buy or sell our stock. Low market liquidity and investor perception of penny stock risks could lead to further volatility and make it difficult for us to attract new investors or use our stock as currency for fundraising.
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.
None.
Item 1C. CYBERSECURITY
Spectral maintains a comprehensive cybersecurity risk management program designed to identify, protect against, detect, respond to, and mitigate reasonably foreseeable cybersecurity threats to the Company’s operations. This program incorporates internal controls and safeguards aligned with industry standards – including access controls, data encryption, network monitoring, and employee cybersecurity training – to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the Company’s information assets. We utilize a range of security tools and procedures to continuously monitor our systems and prevent unauthorized access or data loss. In addition, the Company has implemented a formal incident response plan that outlines procedures for promptly addressing and containing cybersecurity incidents. This incident response plan is tested and updated periodically (e.g., through tabletop simulations and third-party penetration testing) to ensure preparedness and effective remediation of any identified security events.
Oversight and Governance: Cybersecurity risk management is overseen at the highest levels of the Company’s leadership. The Board of Directors, through its Audit Committee, is responsible for monitoring the Company’s cybersecurity risks and related risk management practices. The Audit Committee receives regular reports from management on cybersecurity matters, including updates on risk assessments, security improvements, and any relevant threat developments or incidents. Senior management has designated personnel (including information technology and security officers) to manage day-to-day cybersecurity operations and to implement cybersecurity policies, controls, and procedures. These personnel regularly brief the Audit Committee and the Board on the status of the Company’s cybersecurity posture and risk mitigation activities. The Company also provides periodic cybersecurity training to all employees to reinforce security awareness and protocol compliance as part of its internal control framework.
16
Risk Management Processes: Spectral conducts regular assessments of cybersecurity vulnerabilities and emerging threats across its systems and products. Our risk management approach draws on widely accepted frameworks (such as the NIST Cybersecurity Framework) to prioritize risks and guide the implementation of appropriate security measures. We engage independent security experts to perform evaluations of our cybersecurity program – including periodic third-party security audits and penetration testing – in order to test the effectiveness of our safeguards and to identify areas for improvement. Additionally, the Company maintains a third-party risk management program that assesses and monitors the cybersecurity practices of critical vendors and partners, helping ensure that our service providers uphold robust data security standards. Findings from these ongoing risk assessments and tests are used to continually enhance our internal controls and cybersecurity defenses.
As of the date of this Annual Report, the Company has not experienced any known cybersecurity incidents that had a material effect on our business, operations, or financial condition. During the reporting period, no cybersecurity breach or attack has been identified that resulted in significant data loss, financial costs, or operational disruptions for Spectral. Nevertheless, cybersecurity threats continue to evolve rapidly, and no security program can guarantee absolute protection against all attacks. A significant cybersecurity incident in the future could potentially cause substantial harm to the Company, including business interruptions, remediation costs, reputational damage, loss of sensitive information, or legal and regulatory consequences. Spectral remains proactive in updating and strengthening its cybersecurity measures in light of new threats and technological changes. For further information on the risks associated with cybersecurity and data protection, refer to the “Risk Factors” section of this Annual Report (Item 1A) which discusses these risks in more detail.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 and the related notes appearing elsewhere in this annual report. Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our critical accounting policies, including the assumptions and judgments underlying those policies, are more fully described in the notes to our consolidated financial statements. We have consistently applied these policies in all material respects. Investors are cautioned, however, that these policies are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially. Set forth below are the accounting policies that we believe are most critical to an understanding of our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, Spectral Holdings, Inc., its 60% owned subsidiary, Noot Holdings, Inc., from its date of incorporation of February 28, 2013, and its 60% owned subsidiary, Monitr Holdings, Inc. from its date of incorporation of December 1, 2013. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
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.
Operations
Spectral Capital Corporation operates as a next-generation technology platform company focused on the systematic development, monetization, and application of intellectual property at the frontier of artificial intelligence (AI) and hybrid classical computing. Our business model is designed around four interlocking growth pillars: (1) the continued expansion of a robust patent and trade secret portfolio, (2) the monetization of that intellectual property through licensing agreements and equity-linked partnerships, (3) the creation of scalable, software-based products leveraging our proprietary technologies, and (4) the acquisition and transformation of small technology businesses through integration of Spectral's IP. This integrated approach supports both near-term cash generation and long-term enterprise value creation.
1. Intellectual Property Development
At the core of Spectral’s operations is its commitment to building a defensible and forward-looking intellectual property portfolio. In 2024, we filed 104 new patent applications covering innovations across AI architecture, probabilistic modeling, optimization techniques, quantum-classical hybrid computing, and secure computation. These patents reflect internal research conducted by our scientific and engineering consultants, as well as technology developed through our integration of acquired entities.
In parallel, Spectral has established a structured internal process for IP generation, which includes invention harvesting sessions, collaboration with outside technical consultants, and an internal review and vetting framework that ensures high-value, novel, and commercially relevant filings. This process has resulted in the development of over 400 additional patentable inventions, which we expect to file on a phased basis throughout 2025 and 2026. We believe this makes Spectral one of the most prolific early-stage IP generators in our target domains.
2. Licensing and IP Monetization
Licensing of Spectral’s intellectual property represents a major channel for revenue and equity upside. Our licensing model typically includes upfront cash payments, ongoing royalties, and/or equity stakes in licensee companies. This dual-structure model allows us to capture both current income and long-term appreciation as our partners grow. We target firms across multiple sectors including AI-enabled software, edge computing, autonomous systems, cybersecurity, and industrial automation. These sectors benefit from Spectral’s unique capabilities in scalable algorithms, hybrid compute methods, and secure data processing.
Spectral has ongoing licensing discussions with several early-stage and mid-market companies and anticipates finalizing new agreements throughout the coming fiscal year. We are also exploring broader joint development and white-labeling opportunities that allow third-party firms to embed our technology into their existing platforms.
19
3. Software Product Development
In addition to licensing its technologies, Spectral develops high-value software products that showcase and operationalize its inventions. These products are designed to be cost-effective to build and deploy, relying heavily on reusable code modules and algorithmic libraries developed in-house. Our software tools address critical needs in analytics, risk forecasting, high-efficiency search, anomaly detection, and automated decision-making.
These solutions are typically designed as standalone or API-accessible tools and are suitable for rapid pilot testing and scalable deployment. Because the products are IP-rich, they serve the dual purpose of generating revenue and validating the commercial viability of our underlying inventions. Software revenue is expected to grow as we continue to commercialize our internally developed tools and expand our licensing base.
4. Strategic Acquisitions and Business Transformation
Spectral pursues targeted acquisitions of small, undercapitalized, or undervalued technology firms with latent potential that can be unlocked through application of our IP. These businesses often have customer relationships, domain expertise, or specialized distribution channels but lack scalable technological differentiation.
Upon acquisition, Spectral deploys its proprietary tools and patented processes to transform these operations. We integrate AI-enhanced analytics, automated workflows, and new product offerings that significantly increase revenue and operational efficiency. By focusing on IP-led transformation, we aim to drive both top-line growth and substantial margin expansion in the acquired entities. In 2024, we began implementing this strategy with early acquisition targets and expect to report initial performance improvements in 2025.
Organizational Capabilities
To support our operations, Spectral has assembled a cross-disciplinary team of inventors, engineers, consultants, and business strategists. In 2024, we added a number of highly experienced advisors in IP law, AI model design, computational physics, and corporate development. This bench of experts enhances our capacity to identify patentable innovations, ensure rigorous filings, and guide technical and commercial validation of our IP. The team operates in a distributed structure across North America and Europe, giving us access to global expertise and operational flexibility.
Our operational infrastructure is lean by design, with a strong emphasis on leveraging automation, cloud-based development environments, and modular deployment strategies to maximize return on R\&D investment. This capital-efficient operating model enables Spectral to generate high-value outputs with minimal fixed overhead, while retaining the agility to scale with opportunity.
Technology and Market Positioning
Spectral’s operations are uniquely positioned at the convergence of three critical technology trends: AI acceleration, hybrid computing, and IP-driven enterprise infrastructure. By focusing on technologies that sit at the intersection of these trends, we position ourselves not only as an innovator but as a multiplier for others’ success—whether through licensing, acquisition, or product deployment. Our emphasis on hybrid classical architectures allows us to provide practical, near-term enhancements to existing systems while preserving forward compatibility with quantum and neuromorphic compute systems as they mature.
Our products and services are designed to align with the growing demand for scalable, high-performance computation in privacy-sensitive, regulated, or high-complexity domains such as healthcare, finance, logistics, and defense. We view this positioning as a durable source of long-term differentiation and value creation.
Outlook for Operations
In 2025, Spectral plans to significantly expand its operational footprint in all four pillars. We anticipate a sharp increase in patent filings, a broadening of our licensing relationships, a commercial launch of multiple proprietary software tools, and follow-on acquisitions to reinforce our transformation strategy. These activities will be supported by continued expansion of our expert network and disciplined capital allocation aimed at maximizing shareholder value. We believe our integrated approach—rooted in original invention and practical deployment—uniquely positions Spectral to thrive in a rapidly evolving technological landscape.
OVERVIEW

The platform utilizes a structured approach to data management with JSON-formatted Epochs and Distributed Quantum Ledger Database, supporting the development of Collective Intelligence by enabling diverse groups of people to contribute their knowledge and insights into a decentralized system.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023
Revenues and Cost of Revenues
We are currently engaged in our development as a technology platform company with robust intellectual property holdings. Net revenues were unchanged for the year ended December 31, 2024 to $0 from the year ended December 31, 2023 where they were also $0.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses increased $2,789,471, from $215,477 for the year ended December 31, 2023 to $3,004,948 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was due to our pause in the telecom reselling services business and significant development related to our new operations.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of December 31, 2024, we had $107,475 of cash on hand. We intend to fund operations through the use of cash on hand, additional advances from our chief executive officer, and debt and equity financings until sufficient cash flows from operations can be achieved.
Net cash used in operating activities increased $1,606,428, from $47,532 for the year ended December 31, 2023 to $1,653,960 for the year ended December 31, 2024. This increase in cash used was primarily related to increases in operating expenses due to the commencement of our Quantum as a Service accelerator business.
Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $1,724,095 from $37,100 for the year ended December 31, 2023 to $1,761,195 for the year ended December 31, 2024. Net cash provided by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2024 was primarily related to sales of common and preferred stock and advances received.
21
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, we do not have any commitments or assurances for additional capital, nor can we 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 us, further capital needs are identified and we are not successful in obtaining the financing, we may be forced to curtail our existing or planned future operations. In addition, if necessary, we will decrease expenses and redirect our efforts toward the sale of one or more of our assets should funding become inadequate.

SPECTRAL CAPITAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 – BUSINESS AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Spectral Capital Corporation (“Spectral” or the “Company”) is a Nevada corporation, originally incorporated on September 13, 2000. Since its inception, the Company has undergone several strategic transitions, ultimately refocusing its operations in 2024 to become a deep technology company centered on hybrid classical-quantum computing. Headquartered in Seattle, Washington, Spectral now operates as a vertically integrated quantum and AI innovation platform, offering Quantum as a Service (QaaS), intellectual property licensing, proprietary software products, and value-driven acquisitions.
Spectral’s business model is built on four synergistic pillars: (1) the development of a robust intellectual property portfolio—including patents and trade secrets—at the intersection of artificial intelligence and hybrid classical computing; (2) monetization of that IP through licensing agreements that include both cash payments and equity in licensee companies; (3) creation of high-impact software tools derived from Spectral’s core IP that are modular, cost-efficient, and capable of producing significant risk-adjusted returns; and (4) acquisition and transformation of smaller technology companies through the strategic application of Spectral’s proprietary technology.
In 2024, Spectral filed 104 patent applications across artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and autonomous systems, while concurrently developing an internal pipeline of over 400 additional patentable innovations. The Company also engaged a network of senior scientific and commercial advisors to enhance IP defensibility and commercialization readiness. These efforts support an expanding pipeline of licensing negotiations and product development initiatives.
The Company’s legacy as a technology incubator included several historical acquisitions, such as Noot Holdings and Monitr Holdings. In 2024, Spectral entered a new strategic phase through a series of acquisitions and platform developments in quantum and decentralized computing. However, in 2025, the Company formally rescinded certain transactions involving former Chairman Sean Michael Brehm and related entities. These rescissions preserved Spectral’s independently developed intellectual property, clarified ownership of over 100 provisional patents, and returned in excess of \$100 million in share-based consideration to shareholders—thereby restoring strategic focus and corporate governance alignment.
Spectral’s current operations are focused on licensing its IP, developing quantum- and AI-enhanced software products, and executing acquisitions where its technologies can drive transformative growth. The Company has not yet generated revenues and reported net losses for fiscal years 2023 and 2024. Management is actively pursuing strategic partnerships and financing opportunities to support operational expansion and long-term commercialization efforts.
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, 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 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.
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
F-8
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.
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 favorably 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 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. See Note 1 and 3 for discussion of the acquisition and then rescindment of the NNN acquisition.
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.
Revised Financial Statements
The Company has revised its previously issued consolidated statement of stockholders' deficit as of December 31, 2022 to correct an immaterial misstatement identified during the current period. Specifically, in connection with the conversion of certain liabilities into common stock during 2022, the Company determined it had not previously recorded the full excess fair value of the consideration issued. As a result, the Company revised the previously reported additional paid-in capital, increasing it from $29,106,804 to $30,873,057, and the accumulated deficit, increasing it from $32,613,718 to $34,379,971. These adjustments reflect a net increase of $1,766,253 to both accounts.
The Company has evaluated and concluded that the misstatement, was not material to its previously issued consolidated financial statements. However, it has revised the consolidated statement of stockholders’ deficit to reflect the corrections described above. There was no impact on the remaining consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
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. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. Accordingly, compensation expense is recognized only for awards that ultimately vest. Forfeitures are recognized in the period in which they occur, and no estimations or adjustments are made for anticipated forfeitures.
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-9
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. There was no revenue during the year ended December 31, 2024 and 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, 2024 and 2023, 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, 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.
F-10
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.
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.
Segments
The Company has evaluated the criteria for segment reporting under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 280, Segment Reporting, and has determined that it operates as a single operating and reportable segment. This conclusion is based on the following factors:
·The chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) reviews financial information on a consolidated basis for purposes of evaluating performance and allocating resources.
·The Company’s operations exhibit similar economic characteristics and are managed and reported as a single business unit.
·The Company’s products and services are offered in a consistent manner across its markets, with no discrete business lines requiring separate reporting.
As a result, no additional segment disclosures are required.
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. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company had options to purchase 6,810,000 shares of common stock for which the effects were anti-dilutive. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company did not have any dilutive shares.
F-11
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, 2024 and 2023. The following table sets forth the changes in non-controlling interest for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-01, “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope Applications of Profits Interests and Similar Awards” (“ASU 2024-01”). ASU 2024-01 adds an example to Topic 718 which illustrates how to apply the scope guidance to determine whether profits interests and similar awards should be accounted for as share-based payment arrangements under Topic 718 or under other U.S. GAAP. ASU 2024-01 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, although early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, ASU 2024-01 is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU No 2024-02, “Codification Improvements - Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements” (“ASU 2024-02”). ASU 2024-02 removes references to various Concepts Statements. In most instances, the references are extraneous and not required to understand or apply the guidance. ASU 2024-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2024-02 can be applied prospectively or retrospectively. Upon adoption, ASU 2024-01 is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40).” This standard requires disclosure of specific information about costs and expenses and becomes effective January 1, 2027. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, “Debt - Debt with Conversions and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments” (“ASU 2024-04”). ASU 2024-04 clarifies the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments, including convertible debt instruments with cash conversion features or convertible debt instruments that are not currently convertible, should be accounted for as an induced conversion. The requirements of ASU 2024-04 are effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim periods within those periods. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), which requires public entities to disclose information about their reportable segments’ significant expenses and other segment items on an interim and annual basis. Public entities with a single reportable segment are required to apply the disclosure requirements in ASU 2023-07, as well as all existing segment disclosures and reconciliation requirements in ASC 280, on an interim and annual basis. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024,
F-12
with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this standard in the year ended December 31, 2024. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which requires public entities, on an annual basis, to provide disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation, as well as disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this standard in the year ended December 31, 2024. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
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.

Litigation
From time to time, the Company may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm the Company’s business. The Company is not aware of any such legal proceedings that will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or operating results. There was a claim made by a third party entity regarding Mr. Brehm and Node Nexus Network. The Company believes there is no basis for this claim and that the Company has no legal exposure on this claim and has been provided with an indemnity by Mr. Brehm for the same.
The Company previously owed Rubenstein Public Relations $30,000. There was a dispute regarding the proper amount of the invoice and the parties agreed to settle the amount due for $24,000 and signed a settlement agreement to that effect. The amount was paid in full in June 2025.

NOTE 7 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In accordance with ASC 855-10, the Company has analyzed its operations subsequent to December 31, 2024 to the date these consolidated financial statements were issued and has determined that it has the following material subsequent events to disclose in these consolidated financial statements, other than those disclosed above and below.
From the end of fiscal 2024 through June 3, 2025, Spectral Capital Corporation (“Spectral” or the “Company”) completed several significant corporate actions. These events are summarized below:
Investment in White Label Loyalty (May 2025): In May 2025, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to invest $15,000,000 in White Label Loyalty, a UK-based SaaS provider of enterprise-grade loyalty and customer engagement platforms. The investment was structured as a primary equity infusion to support White Label Loyalty’s product development and international expansion.

businesses that can be enhanced through integration with the Company’s proprietary intellectual property and platform technologies. This investment was financed in part through the Company’s existing equity resources.
Restated Share Transfer Agreement (May 30, 2025): On May 30, 2025, the Company executed a Restated Share Transfer Agreement with Intrepid View Partners, LP, under which Spectral acquired 169,889 common shares of a global autonomous vehicle company for an aggregate purchase price of $16,988,900, paid via the issuance of 1,698,890 restricted shares of Spectral’s common stock.
Rescission of Transactions with Sean Brehm and Affiliates: The Company entered into a settlement agreement with Sean Brehm and affiliated entities to rescind all prior acquisitions and planned collaborations involving Node Nexus Network, Vogon Cloud, Quantomo, and Crwdunit. Under the agreement, Spectral retains ownership of 104 patent filings developed during the course of the collaboration. Brehm and his affiliates will pursue independent commercial development of the foregoing technologies in a separate private vehicle. All shares previously issued to Brehm and his affiliates have been returned and cancelled except for the private placement shares of 5,050,000 purchased by Brehm which were fully paid for. As of December 31, 2024, these entities did not have any assets or liability as to be reflected as discontinued operations. Additionally, the Company intends to continue the development of its intellectual property and software development on its own and does not require any resources, assets or inputs from any of the above entities or individuals to continue the development of its technologies.
Board of Directors Changes: Effective May 30, 2025, five members of the Board of Directors—Sean Brehm, Sam Lee, Aby Alexander, Chad Lemming, and Paul Breitenbach—resigned. On the same date, the Board appointed Michael Turner and Jeffrey Chong as new directors. These changes are part of the Company’s broader governance overhaul in preparation for a potential Nasdaq uplisting.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS AN ACCOUNTING FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
Not applicable.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Jenifer Osterwalder, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, mean controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company on the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgement in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as a result of a material weakness identified in our internal control over financial reporting, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.
In the course of preparing the financial statements that are included in this Form 10-K, management has determined that a material weakness exists within the internal controls over financial reporting. The material weakness identified relates to the lack of a sufficient complement of personnel within the finance and accounting function with an appropriate degree of knowledge, experience and training. We also noted a material weakness related to logical security and privileged access in the area of information technology. We concluded that the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting information technology occurred because we did not have the necessary business processes, systems, personnel, and related internal controls necessary to satisfy the accounting and financial reporting requirements of a public company.
In order to remediate the material weaknesses, we expect to hire additional accounting, finance and information technology resources or consultants with public company experience upon receiving sufficient capital.
We may not be able to fully remediate the identified material weakness until the steps described above have been completed and our internal controls have been operating effectively for a sufficient period of time. We cannot assure you that we will be able to fully remediate the material weakness in 2025. If the steps we take do not correct the material weakness in a timely manner, we will be unable to conclude that we maintain effective internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, there could continue to be a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We also may incur significant costs to execute various aspects of our remediation plan but cannot provide a reasonable estimate of such costs at this time.
Management’s Annual 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). Our internal control system was 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 in the United States. Due to inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting 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 policies and procedures may deteriorate. Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013 framework) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or COSO. Based on such evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report on internal control over financial reporting issued by our independent registered public accounting firm. Our auditors will not be required to opine on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 until we are no longer an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The following table sets forth certain information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of June 23, 2025. The information in these tables provides ownership information for:
each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common stock; each of our directors and executive officers; and all of our directors and executive officers as a group.
Beneficial ownership has been determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and includes voting or investment power with respect to our common stock and those rights to acquire additional shares within sixty days. Unless otherwise indicated, the persons named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to the number of shares of common stock indicated as beneficially owned by them, except to the extent such power may be shared with a spouse. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage of ownership of that person, shares of common stock subject to options and/or warrants held by that person that are currently exercisable, as appropriate, or will become exercisable within sixty (60) days of the reporting date are deemed outstanding, even if they have not actually been exercised. Those shares, however, are not deemed outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. The address of each person listed is care of Spectral Capital Corporation., 701 Fifth Avenue, Suite 4200, Seattle, Washington, 98104.

oConcurrently, Mr. Brehm invested $1,010,000 in Spectral through a private placement, purchasing 5,050,000 common shares at $0.20 per share.
oAs a result of this transaction, Mr. Brehm became Spectral’s controlling shareholder and now holds a substantial voting interest in the Company.

Director Independence
As a smaller reporting company, Spectral is not required to comply with the stricter corporate governance requirements applicable to large publicly traded firms. However, the Board of Directors recognizes the importance of independent oversight in reviewing transactions and strategic decisions.
Currently, the Company’s Board consists of five directors, three of whom are considered independent under SEC guidelines. These independent directors have no material relationships with the Company outside of their board service and stock ownership. The Board intends to continue strengthening its governance practices and may expand its independent oversight in the future.
Policy on Related Party Transactions
Spectral has adopted a formal policy requiring that any transaction involving an officer, director, or significant shareholder be reviewed and approved by the disinterested members of the Board. This policy is intended to ensure:
·Fairness in business dealings
·Alignment with shareholder interests
·Compliance with regulatory and corporate governance standards
From time to time, due to the limited cash flow available, Ms. Osterwalder pays certain operating expenditures on behalf of the Company. These advances bear no interest and are due on demand. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, Ms. Osterwalder was due $0 and $6,150 in connection with these advances, respectively.
Independent Directors
The Board of Directors has determined that a director is an independent director under standards established by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The following Directors are considered independent directors: Aby Alexander, Paul Breitenbach, Samson Lee and Chad McLeaming.
Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons
The board of directors may ratify a “Related Transaction” by a majority vote of the disinterested directors that are voting at any Special or Regularly scheduled board meeting. A Related Transaction is defined as a material agreement, contract, or other transaction between a current officer, director, or shareholder of the Company and the Company itself. Additionally, under no circumstances may the Related Transaction that is ratified be on less favorable terms to the Company than it would have it been negotiated with an unrelated third party.
