Our ability to protect our intellectual property is uncertain. We assigned our five patents to our former subsidiary, Wytec, LLC, which was then managed and 50% owned by General Patent Corporation. General Patent Corporation (“GPC”), the oldest patent enforcement firm in the United States, represents clients on patent enforcement rights and licensing transactions on a contingency basis. GPC was the manager of Wytec, LLC until 2017, when it assigned all of its rights in Wytec, LLC back to us. After extensive research and analysis, GPC elected not to assert infringement claims for the patents on behalf of us and itself through Wytec, LLC. All five previous patents prior to 2017 have expired. In 2017, we re-acquired the 50% of Wytec, LLC that we did not already own, and became the manager of it. In 2014, we filed a new provisional patent application for our proprietary LPN-16 data transmission technology. On October 31, 2017, we received our first patent on the LPN-16 (patent number 9,807,032). In December of 2020, Wytec was granted a second patent (patent number 10868775 B2), for our additional claims to our original 2017 patent.

If we are unable to
renew lease agreements for the locations where our equipment is installed, our business could be harmed. We constructed our first
wireless network in Columbus, Ohio to include the installation of our millimeter wave equipment on select rooftops and other structures
(our Diamond Ring) pursuant to lease or license agreements designed to send and receive wireless signals necessary for the operation of
the network. While we have tested this network, we have not yet launched it for daily commercial operations and have not yet built any
other networks, although we are currently doing several cellular enhancement installations, and are building a private LTE network for
Bexar County, Texas. Nevertheless, we would typically seek five-year initial terms for our leases with three-to-five-year renewal options.
Such renewal options are generally exercisable at our discretion before the expiration of the current term. If these leases are terminated
or if the owners of these structures are unwilling to continue to enter into leases or licenses with us in the future, or breach those
agreements with us, we would be forced to seek alternative arrangements with other building owners or providers. If we are unable to continue
to obtain, retain, or renew such leases on satisfactory terms, our business would be harmed.
Our revenues are concentrated
in a small number of customers and they may decrease significantly if we were to lose one of these customers. Laredo ISD generated
approximately 88%77% of our revenue during the year ended December 31, 20232024 and 76%88% of revenue during the year ended December 31, 2022.2023. Although
we have preferred vendor status with the CTPA of which Laredo is a member, along with approximatelyover 150200 other school districts in Texas,
the high
concentration of revenue from a limited number of customers creates a risk that our revenue may decrease substantially if we
were to lose
any significant customer. We cannot assure that our current main customers will continue to purchase our products and services
in the
future.
Our ability to protect
our intellectual property is uncertain. We assigned our five patents to our former subsidiary, Wytec, LLC, which was then managed
and 50% owned by General Patent Corporation. General Patent Corporation (“GPC”), the oldest patent enforcement firm in the
United States, represents clients on patent enforcement rights and licensing transactions on a contingency basis. GPC was the manager

blockchain encryption technologies. In October 2024, we split the provisional patent into four separate
patent applications, one of which we filed with the USPTO and all four of which we filed with the PCT. Although we have applied for additional
patents and may continue to do so in the future, we cannot assure that
these patents or any other patents that may be granted to us, if
any, in the future will be enforceable. We will have limited resources
to fight any infringements on our proprietary rights and if we
are unable to protect our proprietary rights or if such rights infringe
on the rights of others, our business would be materially adversely
affected. The current manufacturer of our LPN-16 owns the intellectual
property rights to certain software used in the device which has
now expired and is no longer usable. Wytec plans to replace the software
components with its own twoproprietary provisionalsoftware, patents,for which we filed
patent applications in October 2023,2024, designed with AI, ML, and blockchainencryption technologies.
We cannot assureprovide assurance

If our common stock remains subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s penny stock rules, broker-dealers may experience difficulty in completing customer transactions and trading activity in our securities may be adversely affected. The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or authorized for quotation on certain automated quotation systems, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. Our common stock is not listed on a national securities exchange and has a market price per share of less than $5.00. Accordingly, transactions in our common stock are subject to the SEC’s “penny stock” rules. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, before a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document containing specified information. In addition, the penny stock rules require that before effecting any transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, a broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive (i) the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement; (ii) a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks; and (iii) a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. If our common stock remains subject to the penny stock rules, broker-dealers may find it difficult to effectuate customer transactions and trading activity in our securities may be adversely affected.
FINRA sales practice requirements may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock. In addition to the penny stock rules described above, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”), has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative, low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. The FINRA requirements may make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in our common stock. As a result, fewer broker-dealers may be willing to make a market in our common stock, reducing a stockholder’s ability to resell shares, as well as overall liquidity, of our common stock.
Our president owns voting
control of us. For so long as any shares of our Series C Preferred Stock remain issued and outstanding, the holders thereof, voting
separately as a class, have the right to vote in an amount equal to 51% of the total vote with respect to all matters submitted to a vote
of the shareholders of Wytec. Since our president is the owner of all of our outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock, he beneficially
owns at least 51% of the outstanding votes with respect to our capital stock. Accordingly, the president of Wytec is able to exercise
significant control over all matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate
transactions. Such concentration of ownership may not be in the best interests of all of our shareholders.

Wytec International, Inc.,
a Nevada corporation (“Wytec,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), is a
designer and developer
of small cell technology and wide area networks designed to support 5G network deployments across the United States.
Currently we offer
in-building cellular (known as a distributed antenna system, “DAS”) and private Long-term Evolution “private
LTE”
solutions utilizing agreements with multiple vendors throughand a channel agreement with Synnex Corporation, a leading
distributor and solutions aggregator hosting more than 22,000 technology vendors across the world. Concurrently, Wytec is the owner of
patented small cell technology, whichknown we callas the “LPN-16,” designed to support a
dense neutral host citywide 5G network coverage. Small cell technology is purported by PricewaterhouseCoopers International
Limited to be the key component to 5G deployment.
In August 2023, we entered into an agreement with Trabus to utilize Trabus’ algorithms for AI, and ML to facilitate the development of our gunshot detection and other smart sensors. Our agreement with Trabus also addresses the prototype to be developed for the Pilot Program to be offered to TXShare Program members in the second or third quarter of 2025, which is expected to include our gunshot detection technology.
In October 2023, we entered into an agreement with Lemko to provide the wireless gateway and to enhance our LPN-16 technology in conjunction with our development of an integrated solution to supplement our in-building solution, including our gunshot detection and drug sensing solutions, utilizing the algorithms currently being developed by Trabus with Lemko’s small cells serving as a wireless communications channel. The Pilot Program is expected to utilize Lemko’s small cell technology employing the latest FCC CBRS radio with our in-building cellular services.
In October 2023, we filed a provisional patent the USPTO for our smart-sensor technology. In October 2024, we split the provisional patent into four separate patent applications, one of which we filed with the USPTO (“Smart Sensor System for Threat Detection,” filed as U.S. Application No. 18/902,824, describing a process for firearm discharge detection using multiple machine learning models) and all four of which we filed with the PCT. In January 2025, we received notice of allowance for the patent we filed with the USPTO. We expect to file patent applications for the other three with the USPTO in 2025. With these additional patents we anticipate that we will be able to adapt our technology to different service industries.
In September 2023, we engaged
Trabus Technologies to begin Wytec’s artificial intelligence (“AI”), machine learning (“ML”), and blockchain
software development in preparation for a series of state and federal pilot projects to be conducted across the United States which are
expected to commence in the second or third quarter of 2024. In October 2023, Wytec filed two provisional patent applications with the
United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) to enhance its LPN-16 small cell to include AI, ML, and blockchain technologies
capable of supporting advanced multi-sensor technology.
In October 2023, Wytec signed
a development agreement with Lemko Corporation to manufacture the updated version of our LPN-16 with AI, ML, and blockchain technologies.
This agreement was signed in conjunction with our development of an integrated solution with the Nextivity Corporation (“Nextivity”)
to enhance the in-building solution, utilizing Nextivity’s Cel-Fi, we currently sell to the over 190 Independent School District
(“ISD”) members of the Central Texas Purchasing Alliance (“CTPA”). Wytec plans to include gunshot and drug detection
solutions in conjunction with its in-building cellular services as a part of a pilot project offered to over 40 of the CTPA members requesting
to be included in the pilot program.
We expect 5G to have a transformative
impact on the economy and we believe that 5G citywide deployments will rely substantially on small cell technology to facilitate this
impact. We believe our enhanced LPN-16 smalltechnology cellwith our recent addition of AI and ML can solve many of the long-term challenges faced
by operators needing access to implement their
5G initiatives. It can also assist cities challenged with on-going technology upgrades,
network growth demands, political hurdles, and
new business models needed to realize the benefits of a 5G network. In addition to aligning
with technical and governmental issues, the
LPN-16 is designed to meet the standards for 5G deployment and, for operator needs, adheres
to the FederalFCC Communications Commission (“FCC”)
policy initiatives addressing public safety and First Responder initiatives. Specifically, the FCC’s Report and Order
14-153, Acceleration
of Broadband Deployment by Improving Wireless Facilities Siting Policies, adopts rules to help spur wireless
broadband deployment
by facilitating the sharing of wireless transmission equipment using “neutral host” functionality to
simultaneously support
multiple providers. The LPN-16 was specifically designed to support neutral host features and performance. The
FCC’s goal of “shared
used use” and “neutral host” seeks to expand coverage and capacity more quickly, reduce
costs, and promote access to infrastructure
which reduces barriers to deployment and incentivize the sharing of resources, rather than
relying on new builds for every stakeholder,
thereby safeguarding environmental, aesthetic, historic and local land-use values.
We have implemented an aggressive
intellectual property strategy and continue to pursue patent protection for new innovations. In addition to the LPN-16 covered by our
current patent, we have identified additional upgrades and additions to the LPN-16 which further tie it to the goals and timelines of
Wytec’s 5G development business model, FCC policy initiatives, and customer business usage which we believe could lead to additional
patentable property. We intend to file for patent protection on these developments. Our strategy is to continually monitor the costs
and and
benefits of our patent applications and pursue those that will best protect our business and expand the core valuevalues of the Company.
We have recruited and hired
a seasoned management team with both private and public company experience and relevant technical and industry experience to develop and
execute our operating plan. In addition, we have identified key engineering resources for intellectual property development, antenna development,
and hardware, software, and firmware engineering, as well as integration and testing that we believe will allow us to continue to expand our
our technology and intellectual property.
Stock Based Compensation and Warrant Award: The Company measures stock-based compensation expense for stock and warrant awards at the grant date, based on the fair value-based measurement of the award, and the expense is recorded over the related service period, generally the vesting period, net of estimated forfeitures. The Company calculates the fair value-based measurement of warrants using the Black-Scholes valuation model and the simplified method and recognizes expense using the straight-line attribution approach.
Estimating the fair value of share-based awards requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock, the expected life of the warrants and stock price volatility. The Company previously engaged valuation specialists to assist with determining the fair value of our common stock prior to being listed on the OTCQB market in August 2024. The Company provided the specialist with judgmental inputs and assumptions such as cash flow projections and future results of operations to the specialist. After July 30, 2024 and being listed for trading on the OTCQB market, the fair value of the Company’s common stock is valued at the OTCQB market trading value.
The expected term of the warrant is estimated using the contractual life as the Company has no historical information from which to develop reasonable expectations about future exercise patterns. For stock price volatility, the Company uses comparable public companies as a basis for its expected volatility to calculate the fair value of warrants. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve commensurate with the expected term of the option. The expected dividend yield is 0% because the Company has not historically paid, and does not expect, for the foreseeable future, to pay a dividend on its common stock.
Warrants: The Company
estimates and applies its judgement when determining the inputs to the Black Scholes calculation that is used to calculate the expense
for the warrants issued. The volatility used is based on historical volatilities of selected peer group companies. Management estimated
the fair value of the underlying common stock by utilizing the discounted cash flow method and prior transaction method approaches. Management
estimates the average volatility considering current and future expected market conditions. The risk-free interest rate for periods within
the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Each issuance is individually
valued according to this procedure as of the date of issuance.

of our LPN-16 for supporting our private LTE services and paying down $1,114,515$1,345,000 of existing note payables that is expected to come due
in the next twelve months as well as to pay out the $335,000 included in other payables for monies due to Link holders.payables. Until the $335,000
is converted to common stock,
the amounts are due on demand and, therefore, while unlikely to be demanded, the monies are included as
an outflow over the next twelve
months. Additionally, Wytec will look to extend or convert into common stock the debt of $1,074,515$1,345,000 that
comes due in 2024,2025, however, until
negotiated, it is included as a cash need for the next twelve months. Approximately $2,048,183$2,577,000 of the

The $335,000 other payable account balance at December 31, 2024 and 2023, represents Link sales that have been funded by customers, for which the Company no longer expects to fulfill the related obligations to justify presenting as deferred revenue. The Company intends to relieve the remaining amount of this liability through a combination of exchanges for common stock and cash.
During 2019, $895,000 of deferred
revenue, related to amounts billed and collected before services related to Links previously sold by the Company had been completed, was
reclassified to other payable due to the Company’s exiting the business of installing Links. During 2022, a total of $560,000 of
this obligation to Link holders was relieved through the issuance of common stock pursuant to a Link buy-back offering, leaving a balance
of $335,000 at December 31, 2023. The Company intends to relieve the remaining amount of this liability through a combination of exchanges
for common stock and cash.
Repurchase of Registered Links
During 2019, the Company refunded
the purchase price of one Link for a total cash payment of $35,000, for the return of the Link and elimination of related obligations.
Wytec, at its sole discretion, has at times refunded the purchase price of Links before the Links were installed and absent the acceptance
of repurchase under a Link buy-back offering. This action resulted in a corresponding reduction of unearned revenue. During 2022 and 2023,
no Link refunds were given.
We have reviewed the standards
issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) through December 31, 20232024 and which are not yet effective. The
following is a list of pronouncements that the Company has or will adopt:
On December 14, 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-09: Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740). The new standard was issued with the intent of expanding income tax expense presentation and note disclosure requirements. The new standard becomes effective on January 1, 2025, but the Company does not expect the standard to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Effective as of January 1,
2023, the Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-03: Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326). The new standard
was issued in June 2016. The standard was issued with the intent of overhauling the processes of measuring credit losses on most financial
assets carried at amortized costs, among others. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial
statements.

On September 30, 2024, we filed five patent applications centered on our AI-driven gunshot detection technology, securing protection in the United States and laying the groundwork for international coverage. In March 2025, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office issued U.S. Patent No. 12,271,971 for our Smart Sensor System for Threat Detection, and we are pursuing a divisional application directed to a Smart Sensor System and Method for Threat Detection and Response Based on Detection of a Vocal Phrase. Complementing the U.S. filings, we submitted four Patent Cooperation Treaty applications—Smart Sensor System for Threat Detection; Smart Sensor System for Threat Detection and Method Thereof; Threat Detection System Employing Multiple Models; and Smart Sensor System and Method for Threat Detection and Response Based on Detection of a Vocal Phrase—with national phase entries anticipated in 2026.
While our portfolio is anchored in firearm discharge detection to help protect students, the technology also extends to identifying harmful drugs entering school districts. With these additional patents, we expect to adapt our platform to a range of industries. Our AI gunshot technology complements our existing patented LPN-16 technology.
In October 2023, we entered

Commission (“FCC”) Citizens Broadband Radio Service radio with our in-building cellular services.
In October 2023, we filed
a provisional patent with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) for our smart-sensor technology. In October
2024, we split the provisional patent into four separate patent applications, one of which we filed with the USPTO (“Smart Sensor
System for Threat Detection,” filed as U.S. Application No. 18/902,824, describing a process for firearm discharge detection using
multiple machine learning models) and all four of which we filed with the Patent Cooperation Treaty. In January 2025, we received notice
of allowance for the patent we filed with the USPTO. We expect to file patent applications for the other three with the USPTO in 2025.
With these additional patents we anticipate that we will be able to adapt our technology to different service industries.
We expect 5G to have a transformative
impact on the economy and we believe that 5G citywideand deploymentsthe next generation “6G” will rely substantially on citywide deployments
utilizing small cell technology to facilitate this
impact. We believe our enhanced LPN-16 technology with our recent addition of AI and
ML can solve many of the long-term challenges faced
by operators needing access to implement their 5G initiatives. It can also assist
cities challenged with on-going technology upgrades,
network growth demands, political hurdles, and new business models needed to realize
the benefits of a 5G network. In addition to aligning
with technical and governmental issues, the LPN-16 is designed to meet the standards
for 5G deployment and, for operator needs, adheres
to the FCC policy initiatives addressing public safety and First Responder initiatives.
Specifically, the FCC’s Report and Order
14-153, Acceleration of Broadband Deployment by Improving Wireless Facilities Siting
Policies, adopts rules to help spur wireless
broadband deployment by facilitating the sharing of wireless transmission equipment using
“neutral host” functionality to
simultaneously support multiple providers.cellular carriers. The LPN-16 was specifically designed to
support neutral host features and performance. The
FCC’s goal of “shared use” and “neutral host” seeks to
expand coverage and capacity more quickly, reduce
costs, and promote access to infrastructure which reduces barriers to deployment and
incentivize the sharing of resources, rather than
relying on new builds for every stakeholder, thereby safeguarding environmental, aesthetic,
historic and local land-use values.
We have implemented an aggressive
intellectual property strategy and continue to pursue patent protection
for new innovations. In addition to the LPN-16 covered by our
current patent,patents, we have identified additional upgrades and additions to
the LPN-16 which further tie it tosupport the Company’s goals and timelines of
Wytec’s 5G development business model, FCC policy initiatives,
and customer business usage which we believe could lead to additional
patentable property. We intend to file for patent protection on
these developments. Our strategy is to continually monitor the costs and
benefits of our patent applications and pursue those that will
best protect our business and expand the core values of the Company.

These receipts represent proceeds from the sale of sharesexercise of the Company’s common stock purchase warrants and common stock purchase warrants, and
the issuance of
debt.
As of JuneSeptember 30, 2025, our
cash cash
balance was $97,262.$128,937. Our plan for satisfying our cash requirements for the next twelve months is through a combination of sales-generated
income, including revenue from our installation contracts with the Texas school districts, private placements of our capital stock, exercise
of warrants, third party financing, and/or traditional bank financing. There is no assurance that we will be able to meet our working
capital requirements through the private placement of equity or debt or from any other source.
The $335,000 other payable account
account balance at JuneSeptember 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, represents sales of registered links and related equipment and services (“Links”)
that have been funded by customers, for which the Company no longer expects to fulfill the related obligations to justify presenting as
deferred revenue. The Company intends to relieve the remaining amount of this liability through a combination of exchanges for common
stock and cash.
Our financial statements are
prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which
contemplate contemplate
the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have incurred continuous
losses from operations,
have an accumulated deficit of $36,044,556$36,540,293 at JuneSeptember 30, 2025, and have reported negative cash flows from
operations. In addition, we do
not currently have the cash resources to meet our operating and approximately $2,400,000 of financing
commitments for the next twelve months from the date of this report. These
factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue
as a going concern must be considered in light of
the problems, expenses, and complications frequently encountered by entrance into established
markets and the competitive nature in
which we operate.
For a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 1 to the unaudited condensed financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
We have reviewed the standards
issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) through June 30, 2025 and which are not yet effective. Unless
otherwise discussed, the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on the Company’s
financial position or results of operations upon adoption. The Company has considered all other recently issued accounting pronouncements
and does not believe the adoption of such pronouncement will have a material impact on its financial statements.
On December 14, 2023, FASB
issued ASU 2023-09: Improvement to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740). The new standard was issued with the intent of expanding
income tax expense presentation and note disclosure requirements. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of this standard, but
the Company does not expect the standard to have a material impact on the financial statements.
