On May 3, 2023, Eversheds Sutherland (International)
LLP, a creditor of Optilan (UK) Limited, filed a petition to wind up (“Winding up Petition”) Optilan (UK) Limited,
a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company’s Subsidiary, Optilan HoldCo 3 Limited, and the matter was due to be heard in the Portsmouth
Combined Court Centre on June 28, 2023.
On June 28, 2023, the High Court of Justice in
the United Kingdom issued

The Company is an unsecured creditor of Optilan (UK) Limited with approximately $19.4 million in intercompany payables due from Optilan (UK), which have been fully impaired. There are no new claims against Optilan (UK) Limited as of the date hereof. However, the liquidation is ongoing and the financial impact of any future claims or recoveries remains uncertain. In the event we are unable to recover any portion of the obligations owed by Optilan (UK) Limited, or additional claims or liabilities arise in connection with the liquidation, our financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
At the same time the court appointed the OR to
take the appointment as liquidator of Optilan (UK) Limited. The OR has taken control of Optilan (UK) Limited’s assets. To date the
ORs Office has initiated contact with Optilan but we still wait to receive details of the individual who will be taking the role of OR.
On July 3, 2023, Optilan (UK) Limited received
a letter from The Insolvency Service, an executive agency sponsored by the Department for Business and Trade located in the U.K. Pursuant
to the letter of The Insolvency Services, the Company was required to provide information relating to Optilan (UK) Limited to the Official
Receiver’s Office (a government body of Plymouth, the United Kingdom) and attend an interview with staff of the Official Receiver’s
Office to review the prospect of recovering the assets of Optilan (UK) Limited for the benefit of creditors. The interview was scheduled
for July 18, 2023.
On July 18, 2023, the interview was held between
the OR and the CEO at time of dissolution. The OR office requested a list of assets, bank account information and amounts along with any
contracts held by Optilan (UK) Limited to begin the liquidation process.
On August 9, 2023, Evelyn Partners was appointed Joint Liquidator.
There are no new claims as of the date hereof
against Optilan (UK) Limited and Evelyn Partners continues to liquidate the company’s assets.
We are an unsecured creditor of Optilan (UK) Limited
and are at risk of losing any repayment of obligations due from Optilan (UK) Limited because there are several intercompany relationships
between the Company and Optilan (UK) Limited, the financial impact of any future claims and liabilities may not be known for several months.
We have approximately $19.4 million intercompany payables due from Optilan (UK), which will increase our liabilities for any obligations
not repaid. We expect the remaining assets held by Optilan (UK) Limited to be fully impaired and reported as Loss on Deconsolidation during
the second quarter of 2023 as a result of the winding-up order for liquidation. We are still evaluating the full effects of the winding-up
order for liquidation and the material adverse effects it will have on our continued operations and ability to meet future obligations.
In the event we lose the repayment obligations of Optilan (UK) Limited, our financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
Due to the failure of GSD to consummate
a business combination with DarkPulse by February 9, 2024, GSD will be forced to liquidate, which may make the shares of GSD owned by
DarkPulse worthless and DarkPulse may be unable to recoup any expenses spent on acquiring securities of GSD and loans to GSD.
On January 23, 2024,
the BCA was terminated by mutual consent of the parties thereto. Although, as the Sponsor of GSD, the Company still owns all the issued
and outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock of GSD, all legal rights the Company had under the BCA have been terminated. GSD
had until February 9, 2024 to consummate a business combination. Due the fact that GSD did not consummate a business combination by February
9, 2024, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution.
On
or about April 17,2024 GSD has redeemed the remaining public shares and has been liquidated and dissolved. The Company may be subject
to claims of creditors based on the type and nature of claims stemming from this transaction, however any such prospective claims at this
point in time are speculative at best.
GSD is a blank check
company with limited resources. Since there are limits on use of the Trust Funds for GSD’s working capital in connection with a
business combination, GSD must rely on DarkPulse, its Sponsor, management or outside sources to pay for the various expenses associated
with completing a business combination. For this purpose, DarkPulse has advanced to GSD non-interest-bearing working capital loans. As
of January 23, 2024, GSD had issued to DarkPulse non-interest bearing non-convertible promissory notes for working capital loans in the
principal amount of $679,582. In addition, on October 12, 2022, DarkPulse paid Gladstone Sponsor, LLC (GSD’s original sponsor) $1,500,000
for 2,623,120 shares of Class B Common and 4,298,496 Private Placement Warrants issued by GSD to Gladstone Sponsor, LLC in order to become
GSD’s Sponsor. DarkPulse has also expended an additional estimated $1,142,241 to third-party service providers in connection with
the attempted business combination with GSD. Together, DarkPulse expended an estimated aggregate of $3,321,823 in connection with the
attempted business combination with GSD.
All funds loaned to GSD
by DarkPulse can only be repaid only from funds held outside of GSD’s Trust Account and GSD does not have material funds held outside
of its Trust Account. Due to the fact that GSD failed to complete a business combination by February 9, 2024, it will now be forced to
liquidate. DarkPulse, as the Sponsor of GSD and owner of an aggregate of 2,623,120 shares of Class B Common Stock and 4,298,496 GSD Private
Placement Warrants, each of which is exercisable to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock of GSD, will not be able to participate
in the liquidation as a holder of Class B Common Stock of GSD due to DarkPulse having agreed to waive its rights to any liquidation distributions,
which means the shares of Class B Common Stock of GSD owned by DarkPulse are worthless. As a result of GSD’s liquidation, DarkPulse’s
investment in GSD will be worthless and DarkPulse will be unable to recoup its expenses.
Escalating global tensions, including the
conflict between Russia and Ukraine, could negatively impact us.
The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine
could led to disruption, instability and volatility in global markets and industries that could negatively impact our operations. The
U.S. government and other governments in jurisdictions in which we operate have imposed severe sanctions and export controls against Russia
and Russian interests and threatened additional sanctions and controls. The impact of these measures, as well as potential responses to
them by Russia, is currently unknown and they could adversely affect our business, partners or customers.
Several of the convertible notes issued
by us are in litigation with uncertain outcomes.
We have issued several convertible notes which
are currently the subject of litigation (See “Legal Proceedings”). The outcomes of each of these matters is uncertain
and we may be required to both expend large sums of resources on both defending against and pursuing our causes of action in each of these
proceedings. In addition, there is no certainty that any outcome will be in favor of us and we may be required to pay settlements or judgments
the amounts of which may be material to us. In the event that we do not achieve favorable outcomes to each of the outstanding legal proceedings
with convertible note holders, it could have a material adverse effect on us and our operations may fail.
We may incur significant liability as a
result of ongoing disputes.
We are a party to multiple legal disputes the
resolutions of which may adversely affect our business and results of operations.
We may be subject to various other legal proceedings,
arbitrations, and regulatory investigation matters as further described in “Legal Proceedings”. If any of these matters
are resolved unfavorably to us, our business and results of operations may be adversely affected.
On August 14, 2024, we entered into the EFA with
GHS, as amended, pursuant to which GHS agreed to purchase up to $30,000,000 in shares of our Common Stock, from time to time over the
course of 12
30 months (the “Contract Period”) after effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-1 of the underlying
shares shares
of Common Stock.
Our independent registered public accounting firm
reportreports (from two separate independent registered public accounting firms) on our audited financial statements for the years ended December
31, 20242025 and 20232024, indicateseach indicate that there are a number of factors
that raise substantial risks about our ability to continue as a going
concern. Such factors identified in the report are our accumulated
deficit since inception, our failure to attain profitable operations,
the excess of liabilities over assets, and our dependence upon obtaining
adequate additional financing to pay our liabilities. If we are
not able to continue as a going concern, investors could lose their investments.
We may be unable to submit a Purchase Order to our contract manufacturer on the anticipated timeline, which could materially delay the commercialization of our patented BOTDA technology.
We currently expect to submit a Purchase Order to Sanmina Corp, our contract manufacturer, during Q2 2026 for the full manufacturing of our patented BOTDA sensor system hardware. However, this expectation is subject to significant uncertainty, including the availability of sufficient working capital, the completion of final engineering specifications, and other operational and market conditions. We previously anticipated submitting this Purchase Order in an earlier period, and the timeline has been extended. There can be no assurance that we will submit the Purchase Order on the anticipated timeline, or at all. A further delay or failure to submit the Purchase Order would materially delay our ability to manufacture and sell our patented BOTDA technology, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
We may be affected by fluctuations in currency
exchange ratesrates.
There is currently no active public market for
shares of our common stockstock, and one may never develop. Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Markets. The OTC Markets is a thinly traded
market and lacks the liquidity of certain other public markets with which some investors may have more experience. We may not ever be
able to satisfy the listing requirements for our common stock to be listed on a national securities exchange, which is often a more widely
traded and liquid market. Some, but not all, of the factors which may delay or prevent the listing of our common stock on a more widely-traded
and liquid market include the following: our stockholders’ equity may be insufficient; the market value of our outstanding securities
may be too low; our net income from operations may be too low; our common stock may not be sufficiently widely held; we may not be able
to secure market makers for our common stock; and we may fail to meet the rules and requirements mandated by the several exchanges and
markets to have our common stock listed. Should we fail to satisfy the initial listing standards of the national exchanges, or our common
stock is otherwise rejected for listing, and remains listed on the OTC Markets or is suspended from the OTC Markets, the trading price
of our common stock could suffer and the trading market for our common stock may be less liquid and our common stock price may be subject
to increased volatility, making it difficult or impossible to sell shares of our common stock.
July 24, 2024, we and GS Capital Partners, LLC
entered into a Settlement Agreement pursuant to which the Company entered into a confession of judgment in favor of GS Capital in the
amount of $2,673,423.19$2,673,423 which has been reduced to $1,950,123 (the “Balance”). UponAfter approval of the court on August 19,
2024, the Company will issue to GS
Capital free-trading and unrestricted shares of Common Stock pursuant to drawdown requests in the amounts
determined by GS Capital, subject
to a 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation. The shares will be issued a price per share equal to the
average of the three lowest VWAPs
for the five prior trading days. GS Capital will be allowed to sell, the greater of (1) in one week,
no more than 1% of the total outstanding
shares of the Company on a non-cumulative basis at the “ask” price, and (2) 15% of
the daily trading volume of the Common
Stock on any single trading day. Each drawdown will reduce the Balance. The Company is required
to reserve 2,500,000,000 shares of Common
Stock.
Depending on the number of shares we issue pursuant
to the Settlement Agreement, it could have a significant dilutive effect upon our existing shareholders. Although the number of shares
that we may issue pursuant to the Settlement Agreement will vary based on our stock price (the higher our stock price, the less shares
we have to issue), there may be a potential dilutive effect to our shareholders, based on different potential future stock prices, if
issuances for the full amount of the Settlement Agreement are realized. As of April 14, 2025, 450,000,000 shares have been issued pursuant
to the Settlement Agreement. Based on the threeestimated lowest VWAP’sVWAP of our Common Stock for the five prior trading days on April 14,10, 2025,2026,
we would have to issue approximately 272,896,666196,982,121 shares of Common Stock to satisfy our remaining obligations.

from the sale of our services, which consist primarily of advanced technology solutions for integrated communications
and security systems,
as well as habitat management. The Company’s sales of products arewere primarily generated from our TJM subsidiaries.subsidiaries
are now generated from the Company’s subsidiary Optilan India Pvt Ltd. Sales of products
and services are separate from one another.
At contract inception, we assess the goods and services promised in the contract with customers
and identify a performance obligation
for each. To determine the performance obligation, we consider all products and services promised
in the contract regardless of whether
they are explicitly stated or implied by customary business practices. The timing of satisfaction
of the performance obligation is not
subject to significant judgment. We measure revenue as the amount of consideration expected to be
received in exchange for transferring
goods and services. We recognize service revenues as the performance obligations are met, which
is generally as milestones are satisfied
over time. We generally recognize product revenues at the time of shipment, provided that all
other revenue recognition criteria have
been met.

Change in Ownership in Previously Consolidated Subsidiary Results
in Deconsolidation in the Current Period
On June 28, 2023, the county court at Portsmouth,
England made a winding up order raised by a (non-related party) creditor against the Company's subsidiary Optilan (UK) Limited. The subsidiary
on that date ceased conducting further business and the director’s powers terminated. The consolidation of subsidiaries owned by
Optilan (UK) Limited was no longer under its control as defined by ASC 810 (Consolidation). This compulsory liquidation resulted in a
combined “Loss on Deconsolidation” of Optilan (UK) Limited and its subsidiaries in the amount of $1,642,795.
The subsidiaries of Optilan (UK) Limited are solvent
and continue to operate. The Company will retain no measurable residual value nor direct or indirect investment in Optilan, its subsidiaries
or its assets. The Company will have no continuing involvement with Optilan (UK) Limited, including its subsidiaries, and will not be
owned or controlled by any related party of the Company.
Recent Events
On May 3, 2023, Eversheds Sutherland (International)
LLP, a creditor of Optilan (UK) Limited, filed a petition to wind up (the “Winding up Petition”) Optilan (UK) Limited,
a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company’s Subsidiary, Optilan HoldCo 3 Limited, and the matter was due to be heard in the Portsmouth
Combined Court Centre on June 28, 2023.
On June 28, 2023, the High Court of Justice in
the United Kingdom issued a winding-up order for the liquidation and winding up of the affairs of Optilan (UK) Limited (the “Optilan
Liquidation”). In conjunction with the order, the court appointed the Offical Receiver’s Office (the “OR”)
to take the appointment as liquidator of Optilan (UK) Limited and take control of Optilan (UK) Limited’s assets.
At the same time the court appointed the OR to
take the appointment as liquidator of Optilan (UK) Limited. The OR has taken control of Optilan (UK) Limited’s assets. To date the
ORs Office has initiated contact with Optilan but we still wait to receive details of the individual who will be taking the role of OR.
On July 3, 2023, Optilan (UK) Limited received
a letter from The Insolvency Service, an executive agency sponsored by the Department for Business and Trade located in the U.K. Pursuant
to the letter of The Insolvency Services, the Company was required to provide information relating to Optilan (UK) Limited to the Official
Receiver’s Office (a government body of Plymouth, the United Kingdom) and attend an interview with staff of the Official Receiver’s
Office to review the prospect of recovering the assets of Optilan (UK) Limited for the benefit of creditors. The interview was scheduled
for July 18, 2023.
On July 18, 2023, the interview was held between
the Official Receiver’s Office (“OR”) and the CEO at time of dissolution. The OR office requested a list of assets,
bank account information and amounts along with any contracts held by Optilan (UK) Limited to begin the liquidation process.
On August 9, 2023, Evelyn Partners was appointed
Joint Liquidator.
There are no new claims against Optilan (UK) Limited
and Evelyn Partners continue to liquidate the company’s assets.
The Company is an Unsecured creditor of Optilan
(UK) Limited and is at risk of losing any repayment of obligations due from Optilan (UK) Limited because there are several intercompany
relationships between the Company and Optilan (UK) Limited, the financial impact of any future claims and liabilities may not be known
for several months. The Company has approximately $19.4 million intercompany payables due from Optilan (UK), which will increase the
Company liabilities for any obligations not repaid. The remaining assets held by Optilan (UK) Limited were fully impaired in 2023 as
a result of the winding-up order for liquidation.
Twelve-Months Ended December 31, 2024 Accounting Analysis
The Company performed an analysis of the trade
receivables related to Optilan (UK) Limited and determined that an additional $2,422,457 may not be collectible pursuant to Optilan Liquidation.
The Company recorded a bad debt provision for this amount.
As a result of Optilan Liquidation as described
in Note 1, management determined that certain events and circumstances occurred that indicated that the carrying amount of the Company’s
reporting unit may not be recoverable. The qualitative assessment was primarily due to the customer contracts held by Optilan (UK) Limited
and the associated revenue projections by the UK subsidiary that is subject to the potential winding up. As such, the Company compared
the fair value of the reporting unit to the carrying amounts and recorded an impairment loss of $ 2,037,670 pertaining to impairment
and goodwill in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company recorded impairment of the indefinite-lived intangible asset of
$356,260, and impairment of goodwill of $ 1,681,410. The Company has one reporting unit which was evaluated in the impairment test noted
above. As a result of the impairment, the Company had a carrying value of $0 pertaining to goodwill and intangible assets as of September
30, 2024.
Optilan (UK) Limited became subject to the control
of a government and was appointed an administrator. In this situation, when the parent ceases to have a financial interest in a subsidiary
and does not retain an investment in that subsidiary, the parent should deconsolidate the subsidiary and recognize a gain or loss on
deconsolidation in accordance with ASC 810-10-40-5.
In addition, ASC 810-10-40-3A states when a parent
deconsolidates a subsidiary or derecognizes a group of assets, the parent no longer controls the subsidiary's assets and liabilities
or the group of assets. The parent therefore shall derecognize the assets, liabilities, and equity components related to that subsidiary
or group of assets. The equity components will include any noncontrolling interest as well as amounts previously recognized in accumulated
other comprehensive income. If the subsidiary or group of assets being deconsolidated or derecognized is a foreign entity (or represents
the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which it resides), then the amount of accumulated other comprehensive
income that is reclassified and included in the calculation of gain or loss shall include any foreign currency translation adjustment
related to that foreign entity.
Upon the liquidation, on June 28, 2023, the Company
derecognized Optilan UK’s assets and liabilities and recorded a loss on consolidation of $1,624,795, which was recognized in other
income (expenses) in the consolidated statements of operations.
Included in the loss on consolidation of $1,642,795
are the gains on intercompany receivables and payables and currency translation adjustment $12,721,532 and $1,545,008 respectively, offset
by the net loss on impairment of investments of $12,623.
In addition, the allowance of $2,422,457 was
recorded against receivables that have been deemed uncollectible.
