PART I

Item 1. Business.

Overview

Wytec International, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Wytec,” the “Company.” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is the developer of a technology called the “LPN-16,” consisting of chipsets, software, hardware designs and antennas that enable strengthened Wi-Fi and cellular transmission within a concentrated coverage area of approximately 500 feet in circumference. The hardware consists of a chassis or framework approximately three (3) feet in height and a radius of approximately 32 inches. It is designed to be installed in the communications zone of a utility pole or upper end of a light pole and can contain up to 16 radios of varying frequencies. The unit, referred to as an outdoor “small cell”, is designed to increase Wi-Fi and cellular capacity and signal strength by placing a large number of them within densely populated areas as compared to a traditional large cellular tower covering a large area of approximately two (2) miles. The growth of small cells is a response to increasing global data traffic and in preparation of the next generation of cellular technology now referred to as 5G. As the chart below indicates, small cells are forecasted to increase to over 11,000,000 units by 2025.

Small cell equipment market revenue is expected to approach $10 billion by 2019. Deloitte & Touche LLP

In March 2013, we contracted Cambridge Industry Group to design the first LPN-16. The design was completed in December 2013 and subsequently sent to SmartAnt Technologies in February 2014. SmartAnt Technologies was contracted to build our form factor (housing) that supports multiple radios for both Wi-Fi and cellular frequencies. In March 2014, we received our first prototype for the LPN-16 and obtained permission to locate the unit on a utility light pole in downtown San Antonio for testing. The test included the use of three frequencies with two of the three being millimeter wave. The final frequency was with a 5GHz radio located in both the LPN-16 and a Samsung Smartphone. In multiple trials, we were able to produce download and upload speeds at 388.5 Mbps with a latency of 3 milliseconds. By comparison, a popular cellular network produced 35.73 Mbps with a latency of 61 milliseconds.

When Wytec was first founded, we obtained five (5) United States patents (the “Patents”) (three of which have expired) directly relating to local multipoint distribution service (“LMDS”) that is utilized in broadband wireless access technology and was originally designed for digital television transmission. LMDS is a system for broadband microwave wireless transmission direct from a local antenna to homes and businesses within a line- of-sight radius, a solution to the so-called last-mile technology issue of economically bringing high-bandwidth services to users. This technology introduced us to the concept of using high frequency radio bands for broadband backhaul and led us into millimeter wave technology. Today we utilize 70-80 GHz spectrum for our backhaul positioned on the top of multiple buildings as an expansion of Wytec’s conceptual design of a 5G network. The ultimate expansion of the network is designed to transmit from its rooftop millimeter wave backhaul network to the end user via the LPN-16 supporting both Wi-Fi and cellular networks. This configuration is in place today and became a significant part of our LPN-16 test producing the cellular broadband speeds discussed in the previous paragraph.

The LPN-16 technology firmly supports the small cell growth forecasted by RCRWireless News and aligns with the needs of the 5^th Generation (“5G”) network technology as defined by the International Telecommunications Union (“ITU”). ITU sets the standards for enabling enhanced mobile broadband service, ultra-reliable, low latency communications, massive machine type communications and a converged fixed and mobile network service that is flexible enough to handle the explosive increase of traffic from new emerging bandwidth-hungry services such as ultra-high definition TV, augmented reality, video conferencing, remote medical treatment and driverless cars.

The 5G network is expected to have a transformative impact as it connects people with devices, data, transport systems and cities in a smart networked communications environment. The 5G network will rely substantially on small cell technology to achieve its goals. To facilitate this, operators need reliable connections with strong signal integrity, significant bandwidth and low latency. Small cells bring improved connectivity (speeds, reliability, and low latency) to the edge of existing macro networks, serving smaller pockets, especially in rural and urban areas.

We believe the LPN-16 small cell specifically solves the long-term challenges faced by operators deploying small cells who need access to backhaul, lower total cost of ownership and easier site acquisition and access, and cities wrestling with the on-going technology upgrades, network growth demands, as well as the political hurdles and new business models needed to realize the benefits of a 5G world.

In addition to aligning with the ITU demands for 5G, the LPN-16 was designed to meet the operator needs cited above and stringently adheres to the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) policy initiatives addressing the wide array of interests ranging from public safety entities, wireless innovators, to schools and libraries. 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” capabilities to simultaneously support multiple providers. The LPN-16 was specifically designed to promote a neutral host capability. The FCC’s goal of “shared used” and “neutral host” seeks to expand coverage and capacity more quickly, reduce costs and promote access to infrastructure which reduces barriers to deployment and incentivizes sharing resources, rather than relying on new builds for every stakeholder, thereby safeguarding environmental, aesthetic, historic and local land-use values.

The LPN-16’s radio frequency (“RF”) shielding enables a multi-channel transmission system which substantially mitigates one or more of the problems many small cell deployments face in meeting the FCC’s policy initiatives, 5G goals and other technical and political constraints. These challenges include potentially limited data transmission speed capability, upgradeability, and frequency interference. Additionally, some small cells are created using transmitters that tend to be very large in size, expensive, and require ancillary equipment to operate. Accordingly, such transmitters can only be placed in areas that provide large space and sound structural support, such as roof-tops or other inconvenient locations. These inconveniences add time and cost to construction.

In view of the 5G network goals, the demand and challenges of small cell technology placement and the FCC’s policy goals of shared infrastructure, Wytec developed the LPN-16 to be a new cost-effective and easily upgradeable system for providing high transmission speeds through a neutral host and shared infrastructure solution that outperforms other small cells across numerous dimensions.

We have implemented an aggressive intellectual property strategy and continue to pursue patent protection for new innovations. In addition to the LPN-16 invention 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 the expected 5G network development, FCC policy initiatives and customer business usage which we believe are innovative and patentable. 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 value of the Company.

We have recruited and hired a seasoned management team with both private and public company experience and relevant industry experience to develop and execute our operating plan. In addition, we have identified key engineering resources for intellectual property development, antenna development, hardware, software and firmware engineering, as well as integration and testing that will allow us to continue to expand our technology and intellectual property.

Our Technology

The LPN-16, recognized by the U.S Patent and Trademark Office as Patent number 9,807,032, is an “Upgradeable, High Data Transfer Speed, Multichannel Transmission System.” The LPN-16 is a local area network system that includes modular, multi-frequency, multi-channel, upgradable transmission nodes. The transmission nodes can include one or more independent RF modules and may be configured to include 802.11ac and evolve to LTE and other technology and frequency bands as well as software defined radio attributes. The LPN-16 provides transmission and network services for wireless data, wireless video, wireless voice, voice over internet protocol (“VoIP”), local portal for emergency services, mesh node from one transmission to the next, single channel transmission, multi-channel transmission, Wi-Fi access as well as a number of other similar services. We believe this range of services and the timeline of 5G networks needing small cell capabilities squarely places Wytec in the path of serving several substantial markets such as small cells as a service, outdoor Wi-Fi, the Internet of Things, and a host of other related communications services.

Figure 1 LPN-16 Cross Sectional Representation of Multi-Radio Frequency (RF) Modules

The features and advantages of the LPN-16 are anchored in its RF interference mitigation capabilities and modular design approach for radio cards, network switch and power supply for flexible arrangement. The LPN-16 uses physical shielding and RF engineering to reduce internal device interference critical in environments where licensed and unlicensed frequencies, such as Wi-Fi, LTE-Unlicensed (“LTE-U”) and licensed assisted access (“LAA”), will operate in close proximity to support small cell deployments. Shielding may consist of varying types of material utilized which can be applied to 1) the card slot element, 2) between each row, or 3) between sectors.

The LPN chassis: The LPN-16 chassis is comprised of two (2) LPN-8’s or halves. Each half has a Small Form Factor Pluggable (“SFP”) module allowing connection to single or multimode fiber as well as a Gigabit Passive Optical Network (“GPON”). Each LPN-8 has a modular gigabit Ethernet switch installed with all ports at 1- gigabit speeds. Current 4G small cell equipment and technology limits the upgradability of the unit and due to their size may only support 1-2 customer types. The LPN-16 chassis is intended to accommodate the modular components listed above in many desired arrangements. The switch can be upgraded to 10- gigabit or more as demand rises.  The LPN-16 can be upgraded to have 20-80 gigabits of backhaul at each light pole. Many other outdoor radio manufactures cannot make this claim.

Each chassis half, or LPN-8 configuration, consists of an elongated rounded front outer surface approximately 3-feet long and a back portion having a surface adapted to engage one or more bracket systems for mounting. The LPN size is customizable. Each chassis half is designed to provide transmission to 180 degrees with the full LPN-16 configuration covering 360- degrees. The LPN-16 is capable of withstanding lightening, wind loading of 115 mph with an IP65 environmental rating for protection from dust and jets of water, as well as operating in temperature ranges of -40 degrees Celsius to 65 degrees Celsius (149 degrees Fahrenheit), and when fully dressed weighs 35 pounds.

Radio Frequency: The LPN-16 provides transmission and network services for up to 16 carriers for wireless data, wireless video, wireless voice, and VoIP, a local portal for emergency responders, single and multi-RF transmission, 2.4 GHz 802.11n and 5 GHz 802.11ac Wi-Fi access as well as a number of other similar services. Unlike most 4G small cells, the LPN-16 is not dependent on any particular radio frequency. The RF slots allow an LPN-16 customer to focus on one or more radio frequencies and channels to service individual subscribers based on bandwidth requirements. Each RF slot covers a 90- degree sector (180- degree coverage for each LPN-8 chassis half) and is capable of vertical down tilt of zero or 10 degrees. RF modules tend to come in standard sizes and thus can be interchanged to achieve different functions. The LPN-16 may also house a non-standard RF module size which is not an option in current proprietary 4G small cell equipment.

Form Factor: The form factor of the LPN-16 allows for multiple radio cards to be combined on one transmission module.  The form factor of the LPN-16 was designed to allow for various radio types and frequencies to coexist within the LPN-16’s chassis.  Radio cards having frequencies bands ranging from Cellular Bands residing on eNodeB Modules – 700 MHz to 2700 MHz, CBRS Band 3550-3700 MHz , 4.9 GHz Public Safety Band and 2.4- 5.x Wi-Fi Bands.  The LPN-16’s form factor allows for endless upgrades as radio technologies change without having to conduct a “Wholesale” or “Fork Lift” upgrade to the system.  The entire LPN-16 platform is designed to be field upgradable, which we believe makes the LPN-16 the most cost-effective radio platform available on the market today.

The combined RF module may also include 16 service set identifiers (“SSID”) for each band (2.4 and 5GHz). The LPN-16 RF Module can provide for up to 256 concurrent users per radio card--i.e. 2.4 GHz (128 users) 5.0 GHz (256 users) for a total per 2.4/5.0 GHz module of 384 users. Typical small cell units can only support 32 concurrent clients.  The RF module is designed to be collocated with 3G/4G modules in the same chassis.

Mounting Options: Although mounting options appear to be mundane among product characteristics, it has come to the forefront for many cities and pole owners. Recently empowered by the FCC’s Public Notice, 6409 (a), many are aggressively pushing for greater access to city rights- of -way (“ROW”), chief of which is the utility pole. Cities are seeing a trend which they feel limits their control of municipal ROW for public safety, environmental compliance, and revenue generation. These concerns are also coupled with the potential cluttering of the public space with thousands of radios deployed by each carrier. Pole owners are also concerned with too many improperly mounted attachments as well as the combined weight of all attachments that can potentially degrade pole integrity.

The LPN-16 can mount to walls or poles. For a pole the LPN-16 would be mounted approximately 8-15 meters from the ground with a line of sight of approximately 350 meters (1,100 feet), however, the height and line of sight ranges are not limited. An advantage of using light poles or traffic light poles is they provide a power source and are evenly, closely, and frequently spaced through different areas fueling Wytec’s small cell densification strategy which is necessary for 5G high-speed and low latency performance.

Our Competition

There are numerous existing and commercially available methods of providing both small cell technology, site rental as well as high-speed Internet to multi-tenant commercial and residential units. This makes the telecommunications industry highly competitive, rapidly evolving, and subject to rapid technology changes. Additionally, there are numerous telecommunications service companies that conduct extensive advertising campaigns to capture market share. We believe the principal competitive factors affecting our lines of business for LPN-16 placement and our hybrid network Internet service will be our time to market in traditionally underserved areas, differentiated service offerings such as FlexSpeed, Internet failover, and our Cel-fi service as well as, traditional business strategies for meeting market pricing levels and clear pricing policies, customer service, and the variety of services offered.

Although we believe our FlexSpeed, G. Fast, and related services allow for market rate pricing, our ability to compete effectively will depend upon our continued capacity to maintain high-quality, market-driven services at prices generally equal to or below those charged by competitors. To maintain a competitive posture, we believe that we may need to reduce our prices in order to meet reductions in rates, if any, by others. Any such reductions could reduce profitability and make it cost prohibitive to continue as a going concern. Many of our current and potential competitors have more financial, personnel and other resources than Wytec, including brand name recognition as well as other competitive advantages.

Competition by Equipment (Small Cell). The Hetnet Bible issued by SNS Research, has identified approximately 19 small cell vendors offering small cell equipment to network developers. Most, if not all of those vendors utilize the same chipset and provide nearly identical form factors (housing) with standard rooftop installations. We are, however, unaware of a single manufacturer who has developed an outdoor small cell device capable of transmitting multiple frequencies on multiple channels from a single device at a single site location without frequency interference such as the LPN-16 small cell technology. We believe our LPN-16 small cell access point will set a new standard in the mobile broadband industry. Wytec is now listed in the updated HetNet Bible version 2014-2020 Report on Small Cells, Carrier Wi-Fi, and DAS.

Competition by Service: (Site Rental). Driven by the thriving ecosystem, SNS Telecom expects small cells and carrier Wi-Fi deployments to account for nearly $352 Billion in mobile data service revenues by the end of 2020, while overall spending on heterogenous network infrastructure is expected to reach $42 Billion annually during the same period.  This expected growth has led to numerous competitors who offer site rental services for carriers seeking to attach small cells to utility poles and other mounting assets. Two of the largest publicly traded and national site rental, small cell and DAS network providers are Crown Castle and American Tower.

Crown Castle operates as a real estate investment trust. The company provides broadcast, data, and wireless communications infrastructure services in the US. Wireless carrier customers lease antenna space on Crown Castle's owned or managed towers and distributed antenna systems (“DAS”). It has about 40,000 tower sites and 25,000 small cell nodes supported by more than 26,500 miles of fiber. The company also designs networks, selects and develops sites, and installs antennas. On December 16, 2011, Crown Castle purchased NextG Networks for $1.0 billion in cash. At the time, NextG was the largest U.S. provider of outdoor distributed antenna systems with over 7,000 nodes-on-air and with an additional 1,500 nodes under construction.

American Tower rents space on towers and rooftop antenna systems to wireless carriers and radio and TV broadcasters who use the infrastructure to enable their services. It operates about 40,000 wireless towers in the US, some 57,000 in India, and roughly 43,000 throughout the rest of the world. Its portfolio includes approximately 800 distributed antenna system networks used mainly for indoor communications (malls, casinos, etc.). American Tower also offers tower-related services such as site acquisition, structural analysis to determine support for additional equipment, and zoning and permitting management services.

Competition by Service (Internet). There are a substantial number of local, regional, and national residential and commercial Internet Service Providers (“ISPs”) hosting data, voice and texting services in the United States. Publicly traded brands such AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint, Cox Communications, Spectrum, Comcast, and Tower Stream all provide both commercial and/or residential cellular and wired Internet services. Although we have our own hybrid wired-wireless network for delivering our own branded version of 5G Internet services, we also provide, through wholesale agreements, a 4G LTE voice, text and data service through four largest U.S. wireless carriers. These services have significant competition from the carriers providing similar services at less cost and using other communications technologies unavailable to us as well as substantial financial resources and brand awareness that we do not have. While some of these technologies and services are now operational, others are being developed or may be developed. As a 4G LTE mobile virtual network operator (“MVNO”), we compete for customers based principally on providing better and lower cost market methods. Our primary 4G LTE service offering is a wireless automatic Internet failover service.

Cel-fi Competition. Cel-fi is an alternative to DAS, which according to Markets and Markets, was valued at USD $6.71 Billion in 2015 and expected to reach USD $10.78 Billion by 2022. The DAS industry is dominated by substantially well financed vendors such as CommScope, TE Connectivity (purchased by CommScope), Axell, Corning, Solid and other large DAS providers. Cel-fi (owned by Nextivity) is a new comer in the DAS market with an alternative solution costing 1/3 the current cost of DAS. Nextivity has declared Wytec a premier Certified Solutions Provider and is partnering with Wytec at tradeshows to present the Cel-fi solutions. Nextivity will co-sponsor with Wytec its second partner tradeshow in Dallas, Texas in April 2018.

LPN-16 Target Customers

Cities: to remain competitive cities need to leverage their existing assets, dark fiber and utility poles to increase broadband penetration and data speeds expected in a smart city, as well as the ability to maintain aesthetic infrastructure development, and non-discriminatory means for creating competition.

Pole Owners: the number of pole attachments is forecasted to rise, creating issues related to load, capacity, safety and engineering.

Utility Providers: need infrastructure solutions which easily meet engineering and safety requirements, address the number of pole attachment requests and enable new service capabilities for real time smart grid data communications.

Public Safety: local, state and federal agencies need near-term infrastructure with long-term upgradeability to meet interoperability and service area needs.

Cable/Fiber providers: need cost effective and rapid deployment solutions for FTTH (fiber to the home) type offerings utilizing pole mounted equipment.

Mobile Network Operators: need pole attachments and future-proof network infrastructure that allow upgradeability to reduce congestion, long-term CAPEX, improve network performance and provide high-speed data services via gigabit Wi-Fi and LTE small cells.

Within the United States Wytec plans to incorporate the LPN-16 into its own “network infrastructure” as part of a hybrid wired-wireless network to support not only small cell backhaul, but to also deliver near-term revenue. Wytec has already developed three (3) of these hybrid networks located in San Antonio, Texas, Columbus, Ohio and Denver, Colorado. Empowered with its experience in millimeter wave transmission and recent industry recognition for utilizing millimeter wave technology for small cell backhaul and as a key component to a 5G network, we believe we have created a robust network infrastructure to deliver high-speed Internet connectivity to businesses and residential multi-dwelling units.

Wytec’s Network Infrastructure- Supporting Wytec Products/Services

Millimeter Wave Infrastructure: Wytec’s core infrastructure design consists of a hybrid network construction utilizing the latest wired and wireless technology. Referred to as the “Diamond Ring,” its wireless components employ both point to point and multipoint wireless transmissions utilizing the latest radio frequency technology supporting unlicensed and quasi-licensed spectrum. Each Wytec Diamond Ring originates from a fiber optics connection within the Central Business District (“CBD”) of a chosen city and extends outward utilizing Wytec’s’ patented LPN-16 and proprietary network design. We have constructed three (3) Diamond Ring networks located in San Antonio, Texas, Columbus, Ohio and Denver, Colorado and applied our patented and proprietary design as a part of our extension strategy for delivering our broadband products and services.

Fixed Wireless: Wytec currently offers a Fixed Wireless broadband solution originating from its millimeter wave Diamond Ring directly to a customer’s premises via a wireless local area network (“WLAN”) connection operating in a 5GHz Wi-Fi radio channel. One hundred (100) Mbps speeds are easily obtainable with the ability to increase to one (1) gigabit or more utilizing Wytec design modifications. Additionally, Wytec has developed a unique broadband Internet feature known as “FlexSpeed” which enables customers to modify their Internet service by increasing their upload and/or download speeds. In a recent survey conducted by Galloway Research, over 80% of the respondents indicated their interest in a variable speed Internet service.

The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) believes that by the end of 2017 there were 106.3 million fixed broadband subscribers in the United States.

G.Fast: G.Fast broadband originated from digital subscriber line (“DSL”) technology introduced in the 1980’s. DSL still accounts for more than fifteen percent (15%) of all broadband connections within the U.S. today. The original copper wire installation utilized for DSL still exists in millions of connections throughout the United States including residential and commercial multiple dwelling units (“MDUs”) with average broadband speeds limited to approximately three (3) Mbps to the end user.

Recently, however, DSL technology has made vast technology improvements in the “distribution points” connecting a DSL service. This new technology, called “G.Fast”, can support broadband speeds up to one (1) gigabit per second with the use of advanced Distribution Point Units (“DPU”) while still utilizing existing (dormant) copper wire and/or coax cable. This enormous cost savings makes G.Fast a viable alternative to fiber and Cable within multi-tenant/MDUs. As Wytec extends its Diamond Ring rooftop coverage, G.Fast services to the MDU residential and commercial facilities are expected to expand while accelerating subscriber growth at a greatly reduced cost.

Ovum, an independent worldwide analyst and consultancy firm headquartered in London, and specializing in global coverage of the IT and telecommunications industries, predicts by 2021 that G.fast will support almost 29 million subscribers compared to 330,000 in 2017.

Cel-FI: We believe Wytec offers a powerful alternative to the DAS marketplace valued at over $6.5 billion dollars. DAS is designed to strengthen cellular signals in facilities where construction materials interfere with cellular frequencies and diminish the quality of a cellular call or data usage. DAS may be deployed indoors (an iDAS) or outdoors (an “oDAS”), and is a way to deal with isolated spots of poor cellular coverage inside a large building by installing a network of relatively small antennas throughout the building to serve as repeaters. DAS requires the support of the carrier to allow access to their network and can take weeks if not months to obtain.

Cel-fi, costing about one third (1/3) that of DAS, is a viable alternative solution but without the tedious and sometimes delayed support of the carriers. Wytec has established a valuable vendor relationship with Nextivity, the inventor and patented owner of Cel-fi technology, and has been declared a premier provider for Cel-fi technology within the U.S.

According to Markets and Markets, a market analyst to more than 5,000 customers worldwide including 80% of global fortune 1000 companies, predicts the DAS market was valued at USD 6.71 Billion in 2015 and is expected to reach USD 10.78 Billion by 2022.

Wytec, with its preferred vendor relationship with Nextivity, expects to generate significant revenues deploying Cel-fi services while simultaneously developing its G.Fast services within the same buildings.

4G LTE: Wytec has secured a wholesale agreement through a Mobile Virtual Network Enabler (“MVNE”) allowing Wytec to access most of the largest carrier’s 4G LTE network operations in the U.S. The 4G LTE cellular network represents the largest cellular deployment in the world and still growing. The 4G cellular market according to most telecom analysts, is substantially over subscribed and has failed to deliver the minimum standards as defined by the International Telecommunications Union as cellular service. Recently, the carriers have developed a wholesale service allowing qualified partners to re-sell the data portion of the 4G network as a secondary connection for a business “back-up” or “fail-over” in the event the customer’s primary Internet connection fails.

Recent studies indicate that the “downtime” that a business experiences during the failure of its primary service is costly and disruptive. As a result of this primary service failure, the carriers developed a “fail-over” or “back-up” service utilizing the 4G network connection. Wytec has exploited its wholesale agreement in developing its own proprietary version of a 4G “fail-over” product to serve the Small Medium Business (“SMB”) Market under the designation of a qualified MVNO. This has allowed Wytec to leverage a massive existing network to expand its subscriber base while constructing its 5G network. The MVNO designation also allows Wytec to market business and residential cellphone service to include voice, text and data offerings.

According to Information Week “IT Downtime Costs U.S. Businesses $26.5 Billion In lost Revenue per year.

Our Target Markets

Wytec has focused its initial attention to serving primarily MDUs for both the commercial and residential market due to the advantage of securing rooftop access for the expansion of its hybrid network. Essentially, the more rooftops we can secure, the faster our network expands. We believe that this rapid expansion capability opens substantial opportunities to extend the LPN-16 technology to surrounding utility poles and further supporting a 5G class network. We identify our target markets as such:

SMB (Small and Medium-Sized Businesses)

Wytec Product Selection: The SMB is a primarily limited to DSL and Cable Business Internet due to the cost differential and limited coverage of fiber optics. As such they do not enjoy the benefits of gigabit broadband speeds or “symmetrical” Internet features. Wytec provides both gigabit speeds and symmetrical Internet features through its Fixed Wireless and G.Fast service solutions to this business sector at competitive rates to their Cable Internet service.

“… the SMB sector is currently significantly underserved in terms of ICT provision and therefore holds considerable potential for growth, the challenge is how to profitably unlock the potential in a sector that is effectively a hybrid of service providers’ other two main targets – large businesses and consumer…” Source: Amdocs, 2015. Selling to SMBs.

SME (Small and Medium Enterprises). Also known as the “Mid-Market”

Wytec Product Selection: In a recent Galloway survey the SME could easily afford fiber optic connections but was limited (in many cases) to DSL and Cable Business Internet due to the limited coverage of fiber optics in most cities. As such they do not enjoy the benefits of gigabit broadband speeds or “symmetrical” Internet features that support their main considerations for technology purchases, functionality, and reporting. Wytec provides both gigabit speeds and symmetrical Internet features through its Fixed Wireless and G.Fast service solutions to this business sector at competitive rates to their Cable Internet service.

According to Global Market Insights, Inc., Enterprise Application Market size is expected to reach USD $287.71 billion by 2024. Mounting awareness regarding IT connectivity amongst company management, growing need for better internet infrastructure and swift cloud computing adoption by developed organizations will give a fillip to enterprise application market share over the forecast timeline.

Cities and Municipalities (The Smart City)

Today, cities and municipalities are focused on how to develop their “Smart City” initiatives. These initiatives include the integration of information and communication technology (“ICT”), and various physical devices connected to the network (the Internet of things or IoT) to optimize the efficiency of city operations and services and connect to citizens with the best of Internet services that can enhance and promote a quality of life. Smart city technology allows city officials to interact directly with both community and city infrastructure and to monitor what is happening in the city and how the city is evolving.

City government realizes to achieve their smart city initiatives it will need to embrace 5G innovations including direction on how to utilize their under-utilized assets such as “dark” fiber and utility pole access for small cell placement. There has been and continues to be great political turmoil in the utilization of city assets such as utility pole access due to limited space for multiple carrier access and cost placement to interested service providers.

Wytec’s Smart City Solution: Wytec’s LPN-16 small cell technology has been uniquely designed to meet multiple carrier access and resolve difficult political issues through providing a “license free” use of the LPN-16 to the city for pole placement access.

We intend to license the LPN to various customers inside and outside the United States consisting of urban and rural cities/municipalities, manufacturers, utility companies as well as mobile carriers who will have a need for small cells enabling data offloading. Signals and Systems (“SNS”) Research forecast that greater than 60% of today’s mobile network data traffic will be supported by Small Cell technology by 2020 and account for $352 billion in mobile data service revenues.

In addition to the multi-billion-dollar small cells market cited above we believe Wytec will also be an integral part of carrier mobile data offloading which SNS Research has forecasted to exceed $15 billion by 2020, driven by the proliferation of smartphone ownership, expansion of cell infrastructure, and vast adoption of mobile video which will drive mobile data consumption seven-fold by 2021.

Our Business Strategy

The majority of business broadband connections today are still represented by “wired” services such as fiber optics and Cable. Fixed Wireless broadband currently represents less than 10% of the business Internet market but climbing rapidly. Wytec has designed a “hybrid” broadband solution employing both the latest in wired and wireless technologies with the integration of its wireless Diamond Ring backhaul and its wired G.Fast “in building” connection utilizing existing copper wire and coax. This low-cost network deployment design delivers a highly competitive alternative to both Cable and Fiber Optics while complimenting an extension of the network with its patented LPN-16. We believe this extended network will be capable of supporting the benefits and features found in the next generation (5G) of the cellular industry.

We believe our greatest business opportunity is supported by key proprietary network designs, patented technology and strategic business partnerships. We currently have three (3) Diamond Ring networks utilizing millimeter wave technology and have most recently began the sale and deployment of our G.Fast and Cel-fi solutions. As our G.Fast and Cel-fi solutions are expanded thoughout our markets, our LPN-16 small cell opportunities are also expected to expand, contributing to a city-wide 5G branded solution further supporting the exponential growth of wireless solutions.

In November 2017, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) granted Wytec’s LPN-16 patent on its small cell device. Our patented LPN-16 features multiple capabilities as a small cell device including:

Selling Wytec’s Products

WyQuote: In 2016, Wytec developed, in conjunction with its unique broadband services, its own version of an online quote and ordering service. Through extensive research and observation of business to business (“b2b”) broadband business, Wytec discovered that one of the greatest challenges in delivering b2b broadband services was providing a “live” quote of current services and to be able to immediately order the service “online” through a network of qualified sales agents. WyQuote is currently under development for an upgraded version that allows the “business user” to view Wytec’s products and services and order directly without the aid of an agent. Currently there is no ordering system today that allows a business to view and instantly order broadband services from WyQuote. Traditionally, orders are generated by telephone and/or e-mails while customers have to wait days and sometimes weeks to receive service. The WyQuote system is designed to allow independent agents to view our wireless products and services, evaluate the service, and then purchase the service online in real time. Management believes this functionality will enable us to ramp-up revenues far more quickly than conventional ordering of services. The WyQuote system went live in late 2016 and is fully operational. WyQuote features include:

Key Strategic Partnership

Nextivity: Nextivity is an award winning indoor cellular coverage technology winning a Gold Stevie® Award in the Fastest Growing Company of the Year category as part of the 12th Annual International Business Awards, and prevailed over competitors in Canada and the U.S.A. Wytec has been declared as a partner and certified integrator for Nextivity.

Employees

As of December 31, 2017, we have eight (8) full-time employees. Currently, there are no organized labor agreements or union agreements between us and our employees. Assuming we are able to earn additional revenue through organic growth, acquisitions and strategic alliances during  2018, we may need to hire additional employees. In the interim, we intend to use the services of independent consultants and contractors to perform various professional services when appropriate. We believe the use of third-party service providers may enhance our ability to control general and administrative expenses and operate efficiently.

Property

We currently lease approximately 3,395 square feet of office space at 19206 Huebner Road, Suite 202, San Antonio, Texas 78258 for approximately $5,630 per month.

Seasonality

Our operations are not expected to be materially affected by seasonality.

History

Wytec was formed in 2011 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Competitive Companies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“CCI”) currently trading on the OTC-Pink Sheets (trading symbol CCOP). In November 2017, CCI distributed on a pro rata basis to its shareholders all 865,552 shares of the common stock of Wytec owned by it and all 1,731,104 warrants to purchase Wytec common stock owned by it (the “Spin-Off Warrants”), in a spin-off of Wytec by CCI.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Risks Relating with Our Business and Marketplace

We may be unable to execute our identified business opportunities successfully. Our business success is dependent upon several factors, including but not limited to the following:

Our failure to adequately address any one or more of the above factors could have a significant adverse impact on our ability to execute our business plan. We constructed our first wireless network in Columbus, Ohio to include the installation of our millimeter wave equipment on selective rooftops and other structures (our Diamond Ring) pursuant to lease or license agreements, to send and receive wireless signals necessary for the operation of our network. We 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.

We have a history of operating losses and expect to continue incurring losses for the foreseeable future. Our current business was launched in 2011 and has incurred losses in each year of operation. We cannot anticipate when, if ever, our operations will become profitable. We expect to incur significant net losses as we invest in our technology, expand our markets and pursue our business strategy. We intend to invest significantly in our business before we expect cash flow from operations to be adequate to cover our operating expenses. If we are unable to execute our business strategy and grow our business, either as a result of the risks identified in this section or for any other reason, our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations will be adversely affected.

There is no assurance that Wytec’s Link Program will be successful. Through January 2016, Wytec had been relying primarily on the sale of registered links (“Links”) for revenue and working capital. Wytec terminated the offer and sale of Links in January 2016, except for two sales in July 2016. Since June 2016, Wytec has been offering to buy back Links in consideration for the issuance of its Series B Preferred Stock and warrants at $3.00 per unit (i.e. one share of Series B Preferred Stock and one warrant exercisable at $1.50 per share until December 31, 2017). As of November 20, 2017, we had repurchased all but 65 outstanding Links that currently remain with third party owners. Those outstanding Links include 14 that are activated and 51 that are not yet activated. We are generally retaining activated (“live”) Links for our use that are repurchased by us and letting pending Links lapse for the present. The previous sale of Links to third parties was not certain and selling costs were substantial. Once Links were sold, Wytec incurs substantial costs to provide equipment and make related lease payments. There is no assurance that Wytec will be able to realize alternative sources of revenue and cash flow in the future, or that the servicing of Links will not cause Wytec to incur operating deficits. In the absence of Link sale revenue, Wytec may not have sufficient funds to execute its business plan, materially adversely affecting its financial condition, operating results and business performance, or causing it to cease operations.

There is no assurance that we will be able to sell our internet access services through our WyQuote system or otherwise. Our revenue model in our business plan includes anticipated sales of our internet access services through a network of independent agents using the WyQuote online price quote system. The WyQuote system was only recently developed by us and its effectiveness has only been tested. There is no assurance that Wytec will be successful in selling and earning revenue from its 4G and eventually 5G internet access service offerings, or any other service or product. The availability of our service as primary access to the internet is currently limited to markets in which we have built a “diamond ring” transmission network. In all other markets, we would be selling service provided by the infrastructure of other carriers, which may be less profitable for us. Furthermore, customers for our internet access services generally must install special equipment, increasing the cost of our services and rendering it more challenging for us to be cost competitive.

Our success depends in part on the results of current and planned tests of our proprietary LPN-16 technology. Testing thus far has included environmental and radio frequency interference testing with our manufacturer and multiple speed tests utilizing an integrated 2.4GHz and 5GHz Qualcomm 802.11ac chipset which we completed in December of 2014. Additional tests will include proof of concept testing for network load balancing, public safety Band 14 and mobile network operator mobile data offloading, and WiFi and backhaul network testing. While we expect future tests of our LPN-16 to go well since preliminary testing of the technology in San Antonio, Texas, was positive, the LPN-16 may not work as we have currently designed and constructed it, causing us material delays and harm. If the LPN-16 fails the upcoming tests or the tests are materially delayed, it could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, operating results, and business performance. The timing of the commencement of the launch of the LPN-16 product line is currently uncertain, and may be delayed until we have more capital to fund it. There is no assurance that our LPN-16 or any other proprietary technology that we develop will be successful, will work as planned, or can be commercialized or monetized profitably.

We must adapt quickly to changes in technology. Telecommunications technology is a rapidly evolving technology. We must keep abreast of this technological evolution. To do so, we must continually improve the performance, features and reliability of our equipment and related products. If we fail to maintain a competitive level of technological expertise, then we will not be able to compete in our market.

Our inability to respond timely to technological advances could have an adverse effect on our business. We must be able to respond to technological advances and emerging industry standards and practices on a cost-effective and timely basis. We can offer no assurance that we will be able to successfully use new technologies effectively or adapt our products and services in a timely manner to a competitive standard. If we are unable to adapt in a timely manner to changing technology, market conditions or customer requirements, then we may not be able to successfully compete in our market.

We may not be able to withstand fluctuations in our industry because our business is not diverse. We have limited financial resources, so it is unlikely that we will be able to diversify our operations. Our probable inability to diversify our activities into more than one area will subject us to economic fluctuations within a particular industry and therefore increase the risks associated with our operations.

Our ability to protect our intellectual property is uncertain. We assigned our five Patents to our subsidiary, Wytec, LLC, which was 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. There is no assurance that these Patents are enforceable. We re-acquired the 50% of Wytec, LLC that we do 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, and we may apply for additional patents in the future. On October 31, 2017, we received our Patent on the LPN-16. 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, for which our license is only exclusive for the first three years of sales, after which it is nonexclusive in perpetuity. This arrangement may enable our competitors to more readily enter the market for this type of equipment.

Our business may be adversely affected by competition. The telecommunications industry is highly competitive. Many of our current and potential competitors have financial, personnel and other resources, including brand name recognition, substantially greater than ours, as well as other competitive advantages over us. Certain competitors may be able to secure products from vendors on more favorable terms, devote greater resources to marketing and promotional campaigns, and adopt more aggressive pricing than we will. We cannot assure that we will be able to compete successfully against these competitors, which ultimately may have a materially adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and potential products in the future.

Our business is subject to government regulation. Our registered Links are subject to and designed to comply with the regulations of the FCC. A change in those regulations or significant diminution of the right to access, use or license of the spectrum acquired in our registered Link program would be expected to have a material adverse effect on our operating results, financial condition, and business prospects and performance. We are also subject to regulations applicable to businesses generally. The adoption of any additional laws or regulations may decrease the growth of our business, decrease the demand for services and increase our cost of doing business. Changes in tax laws also could have a significant adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition.

We cannot assure that we will achieve profitability. We cannot assure that we will be able to operate profitably in the future. Profitability, if any, will depend in part upon our ability to successfully develop and market our proprietary telecommunications technology, and other products and services. We may not be able to successfully transition from our current stage of business to a stabilized operation having sufficient revenues to cover expenses. While attempting to make this transition, we will be subject to all the risks inherent in a small business, including the need to adequately service and expand our customer base and to maintain and enhance our current services. Our Link Program may not achieve profitability for a number of reasons, including without limitation insufficient funds to obtain or have access to registered Links, or to install equipment, or to activate the Links, or to sell Link capacity. Our Link Program with individual customers purchasing Links and leasing a portion of their capacity to us may cause operating deficits because sale, installation and activation costs may exceed revenue, if any, from those Links. Our future profitability will be affected by all the risk factors described in this prospectus and inherent in our business.

We are exposed to various possible claims relating to our business and we may not have sufficient insurance to fully protect us. We cannot assure that we will not incur uninsured liabilities and losses as a result of the conduct of our business, even though we currently maintain insurance policies for liability and property insurance coverage, along with workmen’s compensation and related insurance. Should uninsured losses occur, our investors could lose their invested capital.

We may incur additional indebtedness. We cannot assure that we will not incur additional debt in the future, that we will have sufficient funds to repay our indebtedness or that we will not default on our debt, jeopardizing our business viability. Furthermore, we may not be able to borrow or raise additional capital in the future to meet our needs or to otherwise provide the capital necessary to conduct our business.

We expect to incur losses for the near future. We project that we will incur development and administrative expenses and operate at a loss for the foreseeable future unless we are able to generate substantial revenues from our planned proprietary products and services. We cannot be certain whether or when we will be able to achieve profitability because of the significant uncertainties with respect to our business.

We may incur cost overruns. We may incur substantial cost overruns in the development and deployment of our proprietary products and services. Management is not obligated to contribute capital to us. Unanticipated costs may force us to obtain additional capital or financing from other sources or may cause us to lose our entire investment in our business if we are unable to obtain the additional funds necessary to implement our business plan. We cannot assure that we will be able to obtain sufficient capital to successfully implement our business plan. If a greater investment is required in the business because of cost overruns, the probability of earning a profit or a return on investment in us is diminished.

We could be subject to liens. If we fail to pay for materials and services for our business on a timely basis, our assets could be subject to material men’s and workmen’s liens. We may also be subject to bank liens in the event that we default on loans from banks, if any.

We may face litigation in the future. We may be involved in litigation in the future. The adverse resolution of such litigation to us could impair our ability to continue in business if judgment holders were to seek to liquidate our business through levy and execution. We may incur substantial legal fees and costs in connection with future litigation, if any. If we fail in our defense to future actions, if any, or become subject to a levy and execution on our assets and business, we could be forced to liquidate or to file for bankruptcy and be unable to continue in our business. There is also a risk that we could face litigation and regulatory claims that could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, operating results, and business.

We may not have adequate funds to implement our business plan. We have limited capital available to us. Although we anticipate securing additional funding from the issuance of additional securities, we cannot assure that we will secure all or any of the funding we anticipate. If our entire original capital is fully expended and additional costs cannot be funded from borrowings or capital from other sources, then our financial condition, results of operations and business performance would be materially adversely affected. We cannot assure that we will have adequate capital or financing to conduct our business or to grow.

Our limited resources may prevent us from retaining key employees or inhibit our ability to hire and train a sufficient number of qualified management, professional, technical and regulatory personnel. Our success may also depend on our ability to attract and retain other qualified management and personnel familiar in telecommunications industry. Currently, we have a limited number of personnel that are required to perform various roles and duties as a result of our limited financial resources. We intend to use the services of independent consultants and contractors to perform various professional services, when appropriate to help conserve our capital. If and when we determine to acquire additional personnel, we will compete for such persons with other companies and other organizations, some of which have substantially greater capital resources than we do. We cannot provide any assurance that we will be successful in recruiting or retaining personnel of the requisite caliber or in adequate numbers to enable us to conduct our business.

The loss of the services of any or our management or key executives could adversely affect our business. Our success is substantially dependent on the performance of our executive officers and key employees. The loss of an officer or director could have a material adverse impact on us. We are generally dependent upon our primary executive officer, William H. Gray, for the direction, management and daily supervision of our operations. We do not currently have any employment agreements with any members of our management team.

The consideration being paid to management has not been determined at arm’s-length. The common stock and cash consideration being paid by us to our management have not been determined based on arm’s-length negotiation. We may grant stock options and other equity incentives to our executive officers and directors, which may further dilute our shareholders’ ownership of us. While management believes that the consideration is fair for the work being performed, there is no assurance that the consideration to management reflects the true market value of its services.

Directors and officers have limited liability. As permitted by the Nevada General Corporation Law, our certificate of incorporation and by-laws limit the personal liability of our directors and officers and authorize our indemnification of them, but such provision does not eliminate or limit the liability of a director or officer in certain circumstances, such as for: (i) any breach of the director’s or officer’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders; (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) under Section 174 of the Nevada General Corporate Law; or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. If we were called upon to perform under our indemnification agreement, then the portion of our assets expended for such purpose would reduce the amount otherwise available for our business.

Our chief executive officer, who is also the chief executive officer of CCI, owns a majority of our voting capital stock and CCI’s voting capital stock, which could create conflicts of interest. Mr. William H. Gray is the chief executive officer, president, chief financial officer, secretary, and chairman of both CCI and Wytec. He is also the holder of all 1,000 outstanding shares of our Series C Preferred Stock, by virtue of which he beneficially owns 51% of our outstanding voting capital stock, and the holder of all 100,000 outstanding shares of CCI’s Series D Preferred Stock, by virtue of which he beneficially owns 51% of CCI’s outstanding voting capital stock. As a result of such stock ownership and managerial control, Mr. Gray is able to generally exercise control over our affairs and CCI’s affairs, which could create conflicts of interest in the future including with respect to agreements and transactions between the two companies. In particular, Mr. Gray will have conflicts of interest in the negotiation, determination of the terms and conditions, and enforcement of contracts and transactions between the two companies, as well as his allocation of time and decisions with respect to corporate opportunities available to both companies at the same time. We cannot assure that such conflicts will be resolved in a manner favorable to the Company.

Risks Relating To Our Common Stock

No market for our common stock currently exists, and an active trading market may not develop or be sustained. Our stock price may fluctuate significantly. There is currently no public market for our common stock. We intend to apply to have our common stock quoted and traded on the OTC-QB Market or possibly the OTC-QX Market. In order to have our common stock quoted for public trading on the OTC-QB or OTC-QX Market, which is an over-the-counter market, not an exchange, we must have a market maker registered with FINRA to sponsor our application for a trading symbol for that over-the-counter market. There is no assurance that we will find a market maker to sponsor our common stock for public trading. An active trading market for our common stock may not develop or may not be sustained in the future. The lack of an active market may make it more difficult for stockholders to sell our shares and could lead to our share price and trading volume being depressed or volatile. We cannot predict the prices at which our common stock may trade. The market price of the common stock may fluctuate widely and decline, depending on many factors, some of which may be beyond our control, including:

Furthermore, our business profile and market capitalization may not fit the investment objectives of some CCI stockholders and, as a result, these CCI stockholders may sell their shares of Wytec common stock received by them in the spin-off of Wytec from CCI in November 2017. See “Risk Factors—Substantial sales of our common stock may occur after the spin-off, which could cause our stock price to decline.” Low trading volume for our common stock, which may occur if an active trading market does not develop, among other reasons, would amplify the effect of the above factors on our stock price volatility. Stock markets in general have experienced volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of a particular company. These broad market fluctuations could adversely affect the trading price of our common stock.

Substantial sales of our common stock may occur after the spin-off, which could cause our stock price to decline. CCI stockholders receiving shares of our common stock in the spin-off generally may sell those shares immediately in the public market, if and when a public market for our securities is established. Although we have no actual knowledge of any plan or intention of any significant stockholder to sell our common stock following the spin-off, it is likely that some CCI stockholders, possibly including some of its larger stockholders, will sell their Wytec shares for reasons such as our business profile or market capitalization as an independent company, or because we do not fit their investment objectives, or, in the case of index funds, we are not a participant in the index in which they are investing. The sales of significant amounts of our common stock or the perception in the market that this will occur may decrease the market price of our common stock.

The exercise price of the Spin-Off Warrants may be adjusted higher in the future, depending on the public trading price of our common stock. On March 30, 2018, the exercise price of the Spin-Off Warrants may be adjusted to be the greater of (i) $5.00 per share, or (ii) 85% of the average closing price of the Company’s common stock quoted on the public securities trading market on which the Company’s common stock is then trading with the highest trading volume, during the five (5) consecutive trading days immediately preceding March 30, 2018. If our common stock is not publicly traded by March 30, 2018, then the exercise price will remain at $5.00 per share.

The concentration of our capital voting stock ownership may limit our stockholders’ ability to influence corporate matters and may involve other risks. William H. Gray, the chief executive officer of both CCI and us, is currently the beneficial owner of an aggregate (not subject to dilution) of approximately 51% of CCI’s and Wytec’s outstanding voting power. Upon completion of the spin-off, William H. Gray continues to hold the same percentage of outstanding voting power of CCI and Wytec.

Your percentage ownership in us may be diluted in the future. Our board of directors has the authority to cause us to issue additional securities and convertible securities at such prices and on such terms as it determines in its discretion without the consent of the stockholders, including without limitation common stock, preferred stock, warrants, stock options, and convertible notes. Consequently, our shareholders are subject to the risk that their ownership in us will be substantially diluted in the future.

We may not pay dividends in the future. Any return on investment may be limited to the value of our common stock. We do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our common stock will depend on earnings, financial condition, and other business and economic factors affecting us at such time as our board of directors may consider relevant. Our current intention is to apply net earnings, if any, in the foreseeable future to increasing our capital base and marketing. Prospective investors seeking or needing dividend income should therefore not purchase our common stock. If we do not pay dividends, our common stock may be less valuable because a return on investment will only occur if our stock price appreciates.

Offers or availability for sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock may cause the price of our common stock to decline. If our stockholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, or upon the expiration of any statutory holding period under Rule 144 or issued upon the exercise of outstanding options or warrants, it could create a circumstance commonly referred to as an “overhang”, in anticipation of which the market price of our common stock could fall. The existence of an overhang, whether or not sales have occurred or are occurring, also could make more difficult our ability to raise additional financing through the sale of equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate.

Our stock price may be volatile. The market price of our common stock may be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock in general.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Cautionary Statements

This Form 10-K contains financial projections and other “forward-looking statements,” as that term is used in federal securities laws, about our financial condition, results of operations and business. These statements include, among others, statements concerning the potential for revenues and expenses and other matters that are not historical facts. These statements may be made expressly in this Form 10-K. You can find many of these statements by looking for words such as “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” or similar expressions used in this Form 10-K. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results to be materially different from any future results expressed or implied by us in those statements. The most important facts that could prevent us from achieving our stated goals include, but are not limited to, the following:

Because the statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. We caution you not to place undue reliance on the statements, which speak only as of the date of this Form 10-K. The cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section should be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that we or persons acting on our behalf may issue.

We do not undertake any obligation to review or confirm analysts’ expectations or estimates or to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Form 10-K or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes to those statements. In addition to historical information, the following discussion and other parts of this annual report contain forward-looking statements and information that involves risks and uncertainties.

On October 25, 2016, the board of directors of CCI authorized management to pursue a plan to spin-off to its stockholders’ common stock and warrants of a majority-owned subsidiary, Wytec. In the spin-off, record holders of each share of CCI common stock received approximately 0.0026 shares of Wytec common stock, rounded-up to the nearest whole share, and two Wytec common stock purchase warrants for every share of common stock issuable to the holder. The distribution of the Wytec shares of common stock and Spin-Off Warrants to CCI shareholders in the spin-off was effective as of November 20, 2017. Following the spin-off, CCI does not own any equity interest in us, and we operate independently from CCI.

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a stand-alone basis, and reflect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows as we were historically managed, in conformity with GAAP. Our financial statements include certain assets and liabilities that have historically been held at the CCI corporate level but are specifically identifiable or otherwise attributable to us.

All intercompany transactions between us and CCI have been included in our financial statements and are considered to be settled in our consolidated financial statements at the time the spin-off became effective. The total net effect of the settlement of these intercompany transactions is reflected in our consolidated statements of cash flow as a financing activity and in our consolidated balance sheets.

The historical costs and expenses reflected in our financial statements include an allocation for certain corporate shared service functions historically provided by CCI including executive oversight, accounting, treasury, tax, legal, human resources, occupancy, procurement, information technology and other shared services. These expenses have been allocated to us on the basis of direct usage when identifiable, with the remainder allocated on a pro rata basis based on sales, headcount, tangible assets or other measures considered to be a reasonable reflection of the historical utilization levels of these services.

Overview of Current Operations

Wytec International, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Wytec,” the “Company.” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is the developer of a technology called the “LPN-16,” consisting of chipsets, software, hardware designs and antennas that enable strengthened Wi-Fi and cellular transmission within a concentrated coverage area of approximately 500 feet in circumference. The hardware consists of a chassis or framework approximately three (3) feet in height and a radius of approximately 32 inches. It is designed to be installed in the communications zone of a utility pole or upper end of a light pole and can contain up to 16 radios of varying frequencies. The unit, referred to as an outdoor “small cell”, is designed to increase Wi-Fi and cellular capacity and signal strength by placing a large number of them within densely populated areas as compared to a traditional large cellular tower covering a much larger area of approximately two (2) miles. The growth of small cells is a response to increasing global data traffic and in preparation of the next generation of cellular technology now referred to as 5G.

When Wytec was first founded, we obtained five (5) United States patents (the “Patents”) (three of which have expired) directly relating to local multipoint distribution service (“LMDS”) that is utilized in broadband wireless access technology and was originally designed for digital television transmission. LMDS is a system for broadband microwave wireless transmission direct from a local antenna to homes and businesses within a line- of-sight radius, a solution to the so-called last-mile technology challenge of economically bringing high-bandwidth services to users. This technology introduced us to the concept of using high frequency radio bands for broadband backhaul and led us into millimeter wave technology. Today we utilize 70-80 GHz spectrum for our backhaul positioned on the top of multiple buildings as an expansion of Wytec’s conceptual design of a 5G network. The ultimate expansion of the network is designed to transmit from its rooftop millimeter wave backhaul network to the end user via the LPN-16 supporting both Wi-Fi and cellular networks. This configuration is in place today and became a significant part of our LPN-16 test producing the cellular broadband speeds discussed in “Item 1. Business” of this report.

The 5G network is expected to have a transformative impact as it connects people with devices, data, transport systems and cities in a smart networked communications environment. The 5G network will rely substantially on small cell technology to achieve its goals. To facilitate this, operators need reliable connections with strong signal integrity, significant bandwidth and low latency. Small cells bring improved connectivity (speeds, reliability, and low latency) to the edge of existing macro networks, serving smaller pockets, especially in rural and urban areas.

We believe the LPN-16 small cell specifically solves the long-term challenges faced by operators deploying small cells who need access to backhaul, lower total cost of ownership and easier site acquisition and access. It can also assist cities wrestling with the on-going technology upgrades, network growth demands, political hurdles and new business models needed to realize the benefits of a 5G world.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations, including the discussion on liquidity and capital resources, are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management re-evaluates its estimates and judgments, particularly those related to the determination of the estimated recoverable amounts of trade accounts receivable, impairment of long-lived assets, revenue recognition and deferred tax assets. We believe the following critical accounting policies require more significant judgment and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements.

We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses that may arise if any of our customers are unable to make required payments. Management specifically analyzes the age of customer balances, historical bad debt experience, customer credit-worthiness, and changes in customer payment terms when making estimates of the uncollectability of our trade accounts receivable balances. If we determine that the financial conditions of any of our customers deteriorated, whether due to customer specific or general economic issues, increases in the allowance may be made. Accounts receivable are written off when all collection attempts have failed.

We follow the provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” for revenue recognition and SAB 104. Under Staff Accounting Bulletin 101, four conditions must be met before revenue can be recognized: (i) there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or service has been rendered, (iii) the price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collection is reasonably assured.

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Under this method, to the extent that we believe that the deferred tax asset is not likely to be recovered, a valuation allowance is provided. In making this determination, we consider estimated future taxable income and taxable timing differences expected in the future. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Result of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2017 and 2016

Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2017 were $48,646 compared to revenues of $69,860 for the year ended December 31, 2016, which resulted in a decrease of $21,214, or 30%. Our revenues decreased in 2017 compared to 2016 due to a reduction in network buildout revenues.

Cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2017 was $550, a decrease of $24,092, or 98%, from $24,642 for the year ended December 31, 2016. Our cost of sales decreased primarily due to costs incurred in the completion of our network buildout services that was completed during 2016.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $3,319,620 for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to $2,926,628 for the year ended December 31, 2016, which resulted in an increase of $392,992 or 13%. The increase in our selling, general and administrative expenses was largely a result of an increase in salaries and wages expense which increased by $71,537 or 9% from $766,236 for the year ended December 31, 2016 to $837,773 for the year ended December 31, 2017. The increase in salaries and wages is due to raises provided to employees and the Company’s officers. The Company’s headcount decreased from 10 employees at December 31, 2016 to 8 employees at December 31, 2017. This increase in salaries and wages was partially offset by a decrease in referral commissions paid. Referral commission expense is recorded in the period in which the commission from the referral has been earned and paid, even though the revenue from the sale may not be recognized until a future period.

Research and development costs were $10,859 for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to $6,097 of research and development costs for the year ended December 31, 2016, which resulted in an increase of $4,762, or 78%. The increase in research and development costs is due to an expansion in expenses incurred in the development of our LPN-16.

Depreciation expense was $210,364 for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to $203,515 for the year ended December 31, 2016, resulting in an increase of $6,849 or 3%. The increase in depreciation expense is principally due to the placement of additional property and equipment in service during 2017.

Interest expense was $0 for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to $11,541 of interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2016. The repayment or conversion of all of our outstanding convertible notes in 2016, and the effect of interest income on our cash balances, resulted in the elimination of interest expense in these periods.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

While we have raised capital to meet our working capital and financing needs in the past, additional financing will be required in order to meet our current and projected cash requirements for operations. As of December 31, 2017, we had working capital of $1,367,381. As of December 31, 2017, $1,755,000 of our current liabilities is deferred revenue on Link sales that have been funded by the customers, for which obligations to the customers have not yet been completely performed, or the Link has not yet been repurchased by the Company.

During 2017 we entered into a Revolving Line of Credit Note (the “LOC”) with CCI pursuant to which we may in our discretion advance up to $800,000 to CCI.   The outstanding principal will bear simple interest at the rate of five percent (5%) per annum, computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 365 days, with all principal and accrued but unpaid interest due and payable in full on demand. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, as that term is defined in the LOC, all unpaid obligations under the LOC will bear interest at the default rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum. CCI has limited sales and cash flows and intends to fund the LOC from capital raised by CCI in their planned private placements of securities. Our commitment to advance funds to CCI under the LOC is discretionary and, if we do not have adequate capital to fund an advance, we will not make it.  During 2017 we transferred $391,215  of non-interest bearing debt owed to us by CCI into the LOC, which we treated as a single draw on credit facility on that date. The debt was incurred by CCI since December 31, 2016 but prior to spin off to fund the following requirements: The repayment of a Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loan for the benefit of Discovernet, Inc., a prior subsidiary of CCI, and personally guaranteed by the President of CCI. Discovernet, Inc. was relieved of this debt in bankruptcy, however, the personal guarantee by the President of CCI was not. The board of directors of CCI determined to assist the President of CCI with repayment of the loan including principal, interest and penalties. CCI recorded the loan repayment as a bonus to Mr. Gray and grossed up the amount to cover the taxes. The loan repayment, grossed up to cover taxes, and the related payroll expenses totaled $258,878. The balance of the loan proceeds was used to enable CCI to repurchase common stock held by two employees of CCI totaling $20,187, and for operating expenses of CCI totaling $112,150. We have established an allowance against amounts due to us from CCI of $415,952 as of December 31, 2017. As of the date of this report, Wytec  will no longer lend funds to CCI..

We estimate that we will need approximately $3,000,000 of capital or financing over the next 12 months to fund our planned operations, which we plan to satisfy as described below under “Satisfaction of our Cash Obligations for the Next 12 Months.”

We anticipate that we will incur operating losses in the next twelve months. Our revenue is not expected to exceed our investment and operating costs in the next twelve months. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses, and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stage of operations. To address these risks, we must, among other things, seek growth opportunities through investment and acquisitions, implement and successfully execute our business strategy, respond to competitive developments, and attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel. We cannot assure that we will be successful in addressing such risks, and the failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Cash Flow from Operating Activities

Cash flows used in operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2017 were $2,853,898   compared to $2,978,028 during the year ended December 31, 2016.

Cash Flow from Investing Activities

Our investing activities consist principally of revenue and expenses related to our Link program (Link sales ended in January 2016 but Link program costs continue), and the LPN-16.

Cash flows used by investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2017 were $31,591 compared to the cash flows used by investing activities of $385,000 during the year ended December 31, 2016. The decrease in cash flows used is due to the Company having to refund certain link purchases in 2016 with no recurrence during 2017.

Cash Flow from Financing Activities

Cash flows provided from financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2017 were $3,615,230 compared to $5,083,029 during the year ended December 31, 2016. During 2016, we issued over $4.8 million in preferred stock and in 2017 we issued $120,000.

Satisfaction of Our Cash Obligations for the Next 12 Months

As of December 31, 2017, our cash balance was $3,496,516. Our plan for satisfying our cash requirements for the next twelve months is through sales-generated income, private placements of our capital stock, exercise of warrants, third party financing, and/or traditional bank financing. We anticipate sales-generated income during that same period of time, but do not anticipate generating sufficient revenue to meet our working capital requirements. Consequently, we intend to attempt to find sources of additional capital in the future to fund our growth and expansion through additional equity or debt financing or credit facilities. 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.

Impact of Distribution by CCI on our Financial Statements

On October 25, 2016, the board of directors of CCI authorized management to pursue a plan to spin-off (the “Spin-Off”) to its stockholders common stock and warrants of Wytec. In the Spin-Off, record holders of each share of CCI common stock received approximately 0.0026 shares of Wytec’s common stock, rounded-up to the nearest whole share, and two Wytec common stock purchase warrants for every share of Wytec’s common stock issuable to the holder. Following the Spin-Off, CCI no longer owns any equity interest in Wytec, and Wytec operates independently from CCI. The record date for the Spin-Off was November 10, 2017 and the distribution date for the Spin-Off Warrants and Spin-Off common stock was November 20, 2017.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue consists of amounts billed and collected before services have been completed. If Wytec, at its sole discretion, were to the refund the purchase price of Registered Links before the Links were installed, the cost to satisfy deferred revenue as of December 31, 2017 would be $1,755,000. Wytec would incur estimated additional costs of $650,000 to activate these Registered Links, complete the transaction and earn the $1,755,000 of revenue. If Wytec had repurchased the remaining outstanding Links under the Series B Preferred Stock and warrant buy-back exchange offer, deferred revenue would be satisfied, no revenue would be earned, and shareholder equity would increase by $1,755,000.

Repurchase of Registered Links

During 2016, the Company refunded the purchase price of Registered Links for a total cash payment of $385,000 for the return of those eleven Links 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 of Series B Preferred Stock and warrants. This action resulted in a corresponding reduction of unearned revenue.

Purchase of Capaciti Networks, Inc.

In November 2016, the Company issued from treasury stock 609,603 common shares to the Company’s former parent, Competitive Companies, Inc., for the purchase of all outstanding shares of Capaciti Networks, Inc. When Wytec acquired Capaciti Networks, Capaciti Networks had net unsecured noninterest bearing accounts payable to CCI on its balance sheet in the amount of $124,421, payable on demand. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the outstanding balance of this account payable was $0.

Going Concern

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which 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 $14,143, 665 at December 31, 2017, and have reported negative cash flows from operations over the last six years. In addition, we do not currently have the cash resources to meet our operating commitments for the next twelve months. 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.

Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to generate sufficient cash from operations to meet our cash needs and/or to raise funds to finance ongoing operations and repay debt. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts to raise additional debt or equity capital and/or that our cash generated by our operations will be adequate to meet our needs. These factors, among others, indicate that we may be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results or operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

We have reviewed the standards issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) through December 31, 2017 and which are not yet effective. None of the standards will have a material impact on our financial statements

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2017 AND 2016

CONTENTS

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors

of Wytec International, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Wytec International, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company) as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' (deficit), and cash flows for each of the two-years in the period ended December 31, 2017, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note B to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has insufficient working capital and a stockholders’ deficit, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters also are described in Note B. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of Business and Principles of Consolidation: Wytec International, Inc., a Nevada corporation, designs, manufactures, and installs carrier-class Wi-Fi Solutions in the 70 and 80 gigahertz licensed frequency program to local government, Mobile Service Operations, National Telecommunications Operators, and corporate enterprises. The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Wytec and its subsidiaries, Wylink, Inc., Wytec, LLC, and Capaciti Networks, Inc. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Wylink Inc., a Texas corporation and wholly owned subsidiary, has been engaged in the sale of Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) registered links participating in the 70 and 80 gigahertz licensed frequency program (the “Program”). The Program allows qualified individuals to own a segment of the “backhaul” infrastructure of Wytec’s city-wide business deployment.

Wytec, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, formed September 7, 2012 and previously managed by General Patent Corporation (“GPC”), holds a partial ownership in patents focused on high capacity millimeter wave technology. On September 20, 2016, General Patent Corporation, the then Managing Partner of Wytec, LLC, assigned its partial ownership in the patents to Wytec, thereby terminating its role as Managing Partner.

Capaciti Networks, Inc. (“Capaciti”), a Texas corporation, has been engaged in the sale of wired and wireless services, including products, wireless data cards, back office platform and rate plans to their commercial and enterprise clients. In November 2016, Capaciti was purchased by Wytec from Competitive Companies, Inc., a related party entity through common control. Wytec accounted for the acquisition as a common control transaction and change in reporting entity. The financial results for Wytec International, Inc. have been retrospectively adjusted to include the financial results of Capaciti in the current and prior periods as though the transaction occurred at the beginning of each period presented. The Capaciti transaction proceeds are reflected as an equity transaction during the period the transaction occurred, which was in the period ended December 31, 2016. Refer to Note G for additional detail of this transaction.

Collectively, Wytec and its subsidiaries, are referred to as “the Company.”

Basis of Accounting: The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company’s management in accordance with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and applied on a consistent basis.

Revenue Recognition: Revenue on sales of FCC register links is recognized once the link has been registered on behalf of the customer and the necessary equipment has been installed and is ready for use. Revenue is not recognized on the link sales until the link construction is completed and the link has been placed in service. Amounts collected prior to completion of all obligations to the client are recorded as deferred revenue. Commission expense is a period cost and is recorded in the period in which the commission from the sale has been earned and paid, even though the revenue from the sale may not be recognized until a future period. Commissions are payable at collection of funds from link sale and are not dependent upon successful installation and operation of the link. Revenues from the sale of wired and wireless internet services is recognized in the month in which services are provided.

Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Company considers all bank deposits and short-term securities with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts: The allowance for doubtful accounts is evaluated on a regular basis through periodic reviews of the collectability of the receivables in light of historical experience, adverse situations that may affect our customers' ability to repay, and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. Accounts receivable are determined to be past due based on how recently payments have been received and those considered uncollectible are charged against the allowance account in the period they are deemed uncollectible. No allowance for trade accounts receivable was determined to be necessary at December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.  The related party receivable from Competitive Companies, Inc. has been fully reserved as of December 31, 2017.

NOTE A – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – continued

Construction in Process: The cost of equipment and materials purchased, and contract labor incurred, for the construction of network, plant property and equipment, and the installation of registered links on behalf of customers are held in construction in process until construction is completed. No depreciation or amortization is applied to construction in process. Once construction is complete and network element is placed in service, the costs are either capitalized or expensed as cost of goods sold as appropriate.

Property and Equipment: Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the estimated useful lives of the related assets, generally ranging from five to ten years. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to costs and expensed as incurred, while expenditures for renewal and betterments are capitalized. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the remaining term of the lease. Upon retirement or replacement, the cost of capitalized assets and the related accumulated depreciation and amortization is eliminated with the resulting gain or loss recognized.

Impairment of Assets: The Company reviews the carrying value of construction in process and property and equipment for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of assets. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends, and prospects, as well as the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors. Useful lives are periodically evaluated to determine whether events or circumstances have occurred which indicate the need to revise the useful lives.

During the course of a strategic review of its assets, the Company assessed the recoverability of the carrying value of certain fixed assets and construction in process, this resulted in impairment losses of $183,157. These losses reflect the amounts by which the carrying values of these assets exceed their estimated fair values determined by their estimated future discounted cash flows.

Deferred Revenue: Deferred revenue consists of amounts billed and collected before services have been completed. Such amounts are deferred until the revenue recognition requirements have been met.

Income Taxes: The provision for income taxes is computed using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and for operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates that apply to taxable income in effect for the years in which those tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.

The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such positions are then measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement.

As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company has applied a full valuation allowance against its net tax assets.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments: The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses. The recorded values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values based on their short-term nature.

Concentrations of Credit Risk: Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of temporary cash investments. The Company maintains cash deposits with financial institutions and limits the amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution. Deposits with financial institutions may on occasion exceed the federally insured limits. The Company periodically assesses the financial institutions and believes the risk of any loss is minimal.

NOTE A – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – continued

Government Regulations: The Company is subject to federal, state and local provisions regulating the discharge of materials into the environment. Management believes that its current practices and procedures for the control and disposition of such wastes comply with applicable federal, state and local requirements.

Subsequent Events: Subsequent events have been evaluated by management through the inclusion of this financial statement in the filing of Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Material subsequent events, if any, are disclosed in a separate footnote to these financial statements.

New Accounting Pronouncements: In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 entitled Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The core principle of this guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance is effective with financial statements issued for the year ending December 31, 2018, and the quarterly periods during that year. The effect of the new standard is not expected to materially influence the Company’s financial statements.

In February 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, requiring entities that lease assets to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases. For leases which meet the criteria of short-term, lessees may elect an accounting policy to not recognize lease assets and liabilities and expense lease payments on a straight-line basis. A short-term lease is one in which the lease term is 12 months or less and there is not an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise.

Under current GAAP, lessees apply a classification test to determine the accounting for the lease arrangements as either capital leases, whereby the lease assets and liabilities would be recognized on the balance sheet, or operating leases, whereby the lessees would not recognize lease assets and liabilities. This ASU will be effective for the Company for the year ending December 31, 2019, and for interim periods therein.

The effect of the new standard is not expected to materially influence the Company’s financial statements.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U. S. 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 amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE B – GOING CONCERN

The consolidated financial statements are prepared using U.S. generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplate the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred continuous losses from operations, has an accumulated deficit of $14,143,665 at December 31, 2017, and reported cash used by operations of $2,853,898 for the year ended December 31, 2017  . In addition, the Company expects to have ongoing requirements for capital investment to implement its business plan. Finally, 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 environment in which it operates.

Since inception, operations have primarily been funded through private equity financing. Management expects to continue to seek additional funding through private or public equity sources and will seek debt financing. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is ultimately dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash from operations to meet cash needs and/or to raise funds to finance ongoing operations and repay debt. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in these efforts. These factors, among others, indicate that the Company may be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should it be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE E – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share. The common stock does not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. Accordingly, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote in any election of directors may elect all of the directors standing for election. Subject to preferential rights with respect to any series of preferred stock that may be issued, holders of the common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends as may be declared by the board of directors on the common stock out of funds legally available therefore and, in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of affairs, are entitled to share equally and ratably in all the remaining assets and funds.

Series A preferred stock is nonvoting capital stock, but may be converted into voting common stock. Each share of series A preferred stock is convertible at the option of the holder at any time after the issuance into one share of common stock, subject to adjustment from time to time in the event (i) the Company subdivides or combines its outstanding common stock into a greater or smaller number of shares, including stock splits and stock dividends; or (ii) of a reorganization or reclassification of common stock, the consolidation or merger with or into another company, the sale, conveyance or other transfer of substantially all of the Company assets to another corporation or other similar event, whereby securities or other assets are issuable or distributable to the holders of the outstanding common stock upon the occurrence of any such event; or (iii) of the issuance to the holders of Company common stock of securities convertible into, or exchangeable for, such shares of common stock.

NOTE E – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY - continued

Each outstanding share of series A preferred stock will automatically convert into one share of common stock (a) if the common stock commences public trading on the NASDAQ capital market or better, (b) if the series A preferred stockholder receives distributions from the net profits pool equal to the original purchase price paid for their registered links, or (c) five years after the date of issuance of the series A preferred stock. The Company does not have any other right to require a conversion of the series A preferred stock into common stock. The Company does not have the option to redeem outstanding shares of series A preferred stock. A holder of the series A preferred stock has no preemptive rights to subscribe for any additional shares of any class of stock or for any issue of bonds, notes or other securities convertible into any class of stock. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up whether voluntary or otherwise, after payment of debts and other liabilities, the holders of the series A preferred stock will be entitled to receive from the remaining net assets, before any distribution to the holders of the common stock, the amount of $1.50 per share. After payment of the liquidation preference to the holders of series A preferred stock and payment of any other distributions that may be required with respect to any other series of preferred stock, the remaining assets, if any, will be distributed ratably to the holders of the common stock and the holders of the series A preferred stock on an as-if converted basis.

The series B preferred stock is voting capital stock. The holders of the series B preferred stock will vote on an as-converted basis with the common stock on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders. The holders of the series B preferred stock are not entitled to any dividends unless and until the series B preferred stock is converted into common stock. Each share of series B preferred stock is convertible at the option of the holder at any time after issuance into one share of common stock, subject to adjustment from time to time in the event (i) the Company subdivides or combines into outstanding common stock into a greater or smaller number of shares, including stock splits and stock dividends; or (ii) of a reorganization or reclassification of common stock, the consolidation or merger with or into another company, the sale, conveyance or other transfer of substantially all of the Company assets to another corporation or other similar event, whereby securities or other assets are issuable or distributable to the holders of the outstanding common stock upon the occurrence of any such event; or (iii) of the issuance by us to the holders of common stock of securities convertible into, or exchangeable for, such shares of common stock.

Each outstanding share of series B preferred stock will automatically convert into one share of common stock at a conversion rate equal to the lesser of $3.00 per share or 75% of the average closing price of the Company’s common stock as quoted on the public securities trading market on which our common stock is then traded with the highest volume, for ten (10) consecutive trading days immediately after the first day of public trading of common stock if common stock commences public trading on the NASDAQ capital market or better, but in any event no less than $2.50 per share or at $3.00 per share five years after the date of issuance of the series B preferred stock. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up whether voluntary or otherwise, after payment of debts and other liabilities, the holders of the series B preferred stock will be entitled to receive from the remaining net assets, before any distribution to the holders of the common stock, and pari pasu with the payment of a liquidation preference of $1.50 per share to the holders of the series A preferred stock, the amount of $3.00 per share. After payment of the liquidation preference to the holders of the series A preferred stock and the series B preferred stock, and payment of any other distribution that may be required with respect to any other series of preferred stock, the remaining assets, if any, will be distributed ratably to the holders of the common stock, the holders of the series A preferred stock, and the holders of the series B preferred stock on an as-if converted basis.

The series C preferred stock is voting capital stock. For so long as any shares of the series C preferred stock remain issued and outstanding, the holders thereof, voting separately as a class, shall have the right, on or after July 20, 2016, to vote in an amount equal to 51% of the total vote (representing a super majority voting power) with respect to all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders of Wytec. Such vote shall be determined by the holder(s) of a majority of the then issued and outstanding shares of series C preferred stock. For example, if there are 10,000 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding at the time of such shareholder vote, the holders of the series C preferred stock, voting separately as a class, will have the right to vote an aggregate of 10,408 shares, out of a total number of 20,408 shares voting.

Additionally, the Company is prohibited from adopting any amendments to the Company’s bylaws or articles of incorporation, as amended, making any changes to the certificate of designation establishing the series C preferred stock, or effecting any reclassification of the series C preferred stock, without the affirmative vote of at least 66-2/3% of the outstanding shares of series C preferred stock. The Company may, however, by any means authorized by law and without any vote of the holders of shares of series C preferred stock, make technical, corrective, administrative or similar changes to such certificate of designation that do not, individually or in the aggregate, adversely affect the rights or preferences of the holders of shares of series C preferred stock.

NOTE E – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY - continued

The holders of the series C preferred stock are not entitled to any dividends. Holders of the series C preferred stock have no conversion rights. The shares of the series C preferred stock shall be automatically redeemed by us at their par value on the first to occur of the following: (i) on the date that Mr. Gray ceases, for any reason, to serve as officer, director or consultant of Wytec, or (ii) on the date that our shares of common stock first trade on any national securities exchange provided that the listing rules of any such exchange prohibit preferential voting rights of a class of securities of Wytec, or listing on any such national securities exchange is conditioned upon the elimination of the preferential voting rights of the series C preferred stock set forth in the certificate of designation. A holder of the series C preferred stock has no preemptive rights to subscribe for any additional shares of any class of stock of Wytec or for any issue of bonds, notes or other securities convertible into any class of stock of Wytec. The holders of the Series C Preferred Stock are not entitled to any liquidation preference.

During 2014 through December 31, 2017, Wytec issued shares of its Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock, along with warrants to purchase Wytec common stock, to outside investors in consideration for the repurchase of registered links from third party owners who had previously purchased them from a subsidiary of Wytec. During year 2014, Wytec issued a total of 3,360,000 shares of its Series A Preferred Stock in exchange for a total of 168 registered links held by third party owners. Twenty-thousand (20,000) shares were issued for each of the 168 registered links exchanged, resulting in an effective value per share of approximately $1.41 since the registered links were originally sold for an average price of approximately $28,150 per link. Setting the exchange price at 20,000 shares was a discretionary decision which established the initial basis for capitalization. During 2016, Wytec issued 1,215,000 shares of its Series B Preferred Stock and 1,215,000 warrants to purchase Wytec common stock in exchange for a total of 121.5 registered links held by third party owners. During 2017, Wytec issued 50,000 shares of its Series B Preferred Stock and 50,000 warrants to purchase Wytec common stock in exchange for a total of 5 registered links held by third party owners. Ten-thousand (10,000) shares were issued for each of the 126.5 registered links exchanged.

In each of these exchanges the Company issued preferred stock, and in some cases Wytec warrants, to the registered link holders in consideration for which the Company either acquired an installed and operational register link or satisfied a deferred revenue obligation associated with the registered Link.

NOTE F – INCOME TAXES

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows at December 31, 2017:

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”) was enacted. The Tax Act includes, among other items, a reduction of the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018. The Tax Act makes broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code. Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (SAB 118) provides guidance that allows registrants to provide a reasonable estimate of the Tax Act in their financial statements and adjust the reported impact in a measurement period not to exceed one year. At December 31, 2017, the Company made a reasonable estimate of the effects of the Tax Act on its existing deferred tax balances. As the Company records a full valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets, no change in the net deferred tax assets occurred. The Company will continue to refine its calculations as additional analysis is completed. In addition, the Company’s estimates may also be affected as it gains a more thorough understanding of the tax law.

The Company has net operating loss carryforwards for tax purposes of approximately $12.97 million that begin to expire in the year 2032. Management has reviewed its net deferred asset position, and due to the history of operating losses has determined that the application of a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax asset at December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 is warranted. As of December 31, 2017, the Company had not accrued any interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

NOTE F – INCOME TAXES - continued

The Company does not have a liability for state taxes at either December 31, 2017 or December 31, 2016.

The federal income tax benefit expected by the application of the corporate income tax rates to pre-tax net loss differs from the actual benefit recognized due to the valuation allowance recorded for 2017 and 2016.

NOTE G – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Shared Services: The Company has shared services agreements with an entity under common control, Competitive Companies, Inc. (“CCI”). Prior to the spin-off of Wytec shares from CCI on November 10, 2017, the Company paid for substantially all operating expenses and sought reimbursement from CCI for their portion of the expense through management fees. The Company was owed amounts from CCI of $415,952 at December 31, 2017 and $0 at December 31, 2016. All receivable balances due from CCI have been reserved by the Company as the amounts were deemed to be uncollectable. Total CCI costs paid for by the Company totaled $415,952 and $747,690 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Costs incurred by CCI and reimbursed by the Company largely consisted of a 2017 repayment of an SBA loan which was personally guaranteed by the CEO of the Company, payroll and other general operating expenses. As of the date of this report, the Company has no further plans to fund CCI expenses under this agreement.

Purchase of Capaciti: Effective November 17, 2016, the Company acquired 100% of the interest in Capaciti Networks, Inc. (“Capaciti”) by releasing 609,603 shares of the Company’s common stock held in treasury to CCI. Because the Company and CCI are under common control, the Company’s income statement has been retrospectively adjusted to include the financial results of Capaciti in the current and prior periods as though the transaction occurred at the beginning of each period presented. Capaciti activity recorded in the 2016 income statement includes $48,716 in revenues and $68,925 in operating and net loss.

NOTE H – TREASURY STOCK

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

None.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer during the year ended December 31, 2017, William Gray, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based on that evaluation, Mr. Gray concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective, which are discussed below in more detail, in timely alerting him to material information relating to us required to be included in our periodic SEC filings and in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The conclusion that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective was due to the presence of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as identified below under the heading “Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.” Management anticipates that such disclosure controls and procedures will not be effective until the material weaknesses are remediated.

Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. To address the material weaknesses, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures in an effort to ensure our consolidated financial statements included in this annual report have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based upon this evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2017 for the following reasons.

We intend to rectify these weaknesses by implementing an independent board of directors and hiring additional accounting personnel once we have additional resources to do so.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting through the date of this report or during the quarter ended December 31, 2017, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

No Attestation Report by Independent Registered Accountant

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017 has not been audited by our independent registered public accounting firm by virtue of our exemption from such requirement as a smaller reporting company.

Limitation  of Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

Under Nevada General Corporation Law and our articles of incorporation, our directors will have no personal liability to us or our stockholders for monetary damages incurred as the result of the breach or alleged breach by a director of his “duty of care.” This provision does not apply to the directors’ (i) acts or omissions that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing and culpable violation of law, (ii) acts or omissions that a director believes to be contrary to the best interests of the corporation or its shareholders or that involve the absence of good faith on the part of the director, (iii) approval of any transaction from which a director derives an improper personal benefit, (iv) acts or omissions that show a reckless disregard for the director’s duty to the corporation or its shareholders in circumstances in which the director was aware, or should have been aware, in the ordinary course of performing a director’s duties, of a risk of serious injury to the corporation or its shareholders, (v) acts or omissions that constituted an unexcused pattern of inattention that amounts to an abdication of the director’s duty to the corporation or its shareholders, or (vi) approval of an unlawful dividend, distribution, stock repurchase or redemption. This provision would generally absolve directors of personal liability for negligence in the performance of duties, including gross negligence.

The effect of this provision in our articles of incorporation is to eliminate the rights of WII and our stockholders (through stockholder’s derivative suits on behalf of WII) to recover monetary damages against a director for breach of his fiduciary duty of care as a director (including breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior) except in the situations described in clauses (i) through (vi) above. This provision does not limit nor eliminate the rights of WII or any stockholder to seek non-monetary relief such as an injunction or rescission in the event of a breach of a director’s duty of care. In addition, our Articles of Incorporation provide that if Nevada law is amended to authorize the future elimination or limitation of the liability of a director, then the liability of the directors will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the law, as amended. Nevada General Corporation Law grants corporations the right to indemnify their directors, officers, employees and agents in accordance with applicable law. Our bylaws provide for indemnification of such persons to the full extent allowable under applicable law. These provisions will not alter the liability of the directors under federal securities laws.

We intend to enter into agreements to indemnify our directors and officers, in addition to the indemnification provided for in our bylaws. These agreements, among other things, indemnify our directors and officers for certain expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, and settlement amounts incurred by any such person in any action or proceeding, including any action by or in the right of WII, arising out of such person’s services as a director or officer of WII, any subsidiary of WII or any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at the request of WII. We believe that these provisions and agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified directors and officers.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling WII pursuant to the foregoing provisions, WII has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Board Committees

Director Independence. The board of directors has analyzed the independence of each director and has concluded that currently no director is considered an independent director in accordance with the director independence standards of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) the NYSE Amex Equities or the NASDAQ Capital Market.

Audit Committee. Currently, we do not have an audit committee. At this time, the board of directors will perform the necessary functions of an audit committee, such as: recommending an independent registered public accounting firm to audit the annual financial statements; reviewing the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm; review of the financial statements and other required regulatory financial reporting; and reviewing management’s policies and procedures in connection with its internal control over financial reporting.

Additionally, we do not have a financial expert. We believe the cost related to retaining a financial expert at this time is prohibitive. At such time the Company has the financial resources, a financial expert will be appointed.

Compensation Committee. We currently do not have a compensation committee of the board of directors. Until a formal committee is established our board of directors will review all forms of compensation provided to our executive officers, directors, consultants and employees, including stock compensation. The board makes all compensation decisions for the Executives and approves recommendation regarding equity awards to all elected officers of CCI. Decisions regarding the non-equity compensation of other executive officers are made by the board.

Nominating Committee. We do not have a nominating committee or nominating committee charter. Our board of directors performs some of the functions associated with a nominating committee. We elected not to have a nominating committee during the year ended December 31, 2016, in that we had limited operations and resources.

Director Nomination Procedures. Generally, nominees for Directors are identified and suggested by the members of the board or management using their business networks. The board has not retained any executive search firms or other third parties to identify or evaluate director candidates in the past and does not intend to in the near future. In selecting a nominee for director, the board or management considers the following criteria:

The board or management has not established any specific minimum qualifications that a candidate for director must meet in order to be recommended for board membership. Rather, the board or management will evaluate the mix of skills and experience that the candidate offers, consider how a given candidate meets the board’s current expectations with respect to each such criterion and make a determination regarding whether a candidate should be recommended to the stockholders for election as a director. During 2016, the Company received no recommendation for directors from its stockholders.

Report of the Audit Committee

Our board of directors has reviewed and discussed our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 with senior management. The board of directors has also discussed with Akin, Doherty, Klein & Feuge, (“ADKF”), our independent auditors, the matters required to be discussed by Auditing Standard No. 1301, “Communications with Audit Committees”, as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) and received the written disclosures and the letter from ADKF required by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent registered public accounting firm’s communications with the Board of Directors concerning independence and have discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm its independence.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in any of our previous or future filings under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that might incorporate this report in future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in whole or in part, the foregoing report shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any such filing.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), requires executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of an issuer’s common stock, which has been registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership with the SEC. Executive officers, directors and greater-than-ten-percent beneficial owners are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based upon a review of the copies of such forms furnished to us and written representations from our executive officers and directors, we believe that as of December 31, 2017, they were current in their filings.

Code of Conduct

We have adopted a code of conduct that applies to all of our directors, officers and employees. The text of the code of conduct has been posted on our internet website and can be viewed at http://www.Wytec International.com. Any waiver of the provisions of the Code of Conduct for executive officers and directors may be made only by the audit committee and, in the case of a waiver for members of the audit committee, by the board of directors. Any such waivers will be promptly disclosed to our shareholders.

Item 11. Executive Compensation.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The following Compensation Discussion and Analysis describes the material elements of compensation for the executive officers identified in the Summary Compensation Table (“Named Executive Officers”), and executive officers that we may hire in the future. As more fully described below, our board of directors makes all decisions for the total direct compensation of our executive officers, including the Named Executive Officers. We do not have a compensation committee, so all decisions with respect to management compensation are made by the whole board.

Compensation Program Objectives and Rewards

Our compensation philosophy is based on the premise of attracting, retaining, and motivating exceptional leaders, setting high goals, working toward the common objectives of meeting the expectations of customers and stockholders, and rewarding outstanding performance. Following this philosophy, in determining executive compensation, we consider all relevant factors, such as the competition for talent, our desire to link pay with performance in the future, the use of equity to align executive interests with those of our stockholders, individual contributions, teamwork and performance, and each executive’s total compensation package. We strive to accomplish these objectives by compensating all executives with total compensation packages consisting of a combination of competitive base salary and, once we grow more and increase our staff, incentive compensation. Because of our small size and staff to date, we have not yet adopted a management equity incentive plan, nor have we yet used equity incentives as part of our management compensation policy.

While we have not hired at the executive level significantly since inception because our business has not grown sufficiently to justify increasing staff, we expect to grow and hire in the future. Our Named Executive Officers have been with us for many years and their compensation has basically been static, based primarily on levels at which we can afford to retain them, and their responsibilities and individual contributions. To date, we have not applied a formal compensation program to determine the compensation of the Named Executives. In the future, as we and our management team expand, our board of directors expects to add independent members, form a compensation committee comprised of independent directors, adopt a management equity incentive plan and apply the compensation philosophy and policies described in this section of the Registration Statement.

The primary purpose of the compensation and benefits described below is to attract, retain and motivate highly talented individuals when we do hire, who will engage in the behaviors necessary to enable us to succeed in our mission while upholding our values in a highly competitive marketplace. Different elements are designed to engender different behaviors, and the actual incentive amounts which may be awarded to each Named Executive Officer are subject to the annual review of the board of directors. The following is a brief description of the key elements of our planned executive compensation structure.

Benchmarking

We have not yet adopted benchmarking but may do so in the future. When making compensation decisions, our board of directors may compare each element of compensation paid to our Named Executive Officers against a report showing comparable compensation metrics from a group that includes both publicly-traded and privately-held companies. Our board believes that while such peer group benchmarks are a point of reference for measurement, they are not necessarily a determining factor in setting executive compensation as each executive officer’s compensation relative to the benchmark varies based on scope of responsibility and time in the position. We have not yet formally established our peer group for this purpose.

The Elements of Wytec’s Compensation Program

Base Salary

Executive officer base salaries are based on job responsibilities and individual contribution. The board reviews the base salaries of our executive officers, including our Named Executive Officers, considering factors such as corporate progress toward achieving objectives (without reference to any specific performance-related targets) and individual performance experience and expertise. None of our Named Executive Officers have employment agreements with us. Additional factors reviewed by the board of directors in determining appropriate base salary levels and raises include subjective factors related to corporate and individual performance. For the year ended December 31, 2015, all executive officer base salary decisions were approved by the board of directors.

Our board of directors determines base salaries for the Named Executive Officers at the beginning of each fiscal year, and the board proposes new base salary amounts, if appropriate, based on its evaluation of individual performance and expected future contributions. We do not have a 401(k) Plan, but if we adopt one in the future, base salary would be the only element of compensation that would be used in determining the amount of contributions permitted under the 401(k) Plan.

Incentive Compensation Awards

Our executive officers have not been paid bonuses and our board of directors has not yet established a formal compensation policy for the determination of bonuses. If our revenue grows and bonuses become affordable and justifiable, we expect to use the following parameters in justifying and quantifying bonuses for our Named Executive Officers and other officers of Wytec: (1) the growth in our revenue, (2) the growth in our earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted (“EBITDA”), and (3) our stock price. The board has not adopted specific performance goals and target bonus amounts for any of its fiscal years, but may do so in the future.

Equity Incentive Awards

Our board has not yet adopted a management equity incentive plan and no stock options or other equity incentive awards have yet been made to any of our Named Executives or other officers or employees of Wytec. As stated previously, in the future we plan to adopt a formal management equity incentive plan pursuant to which we plan to grant stock options and make restricted stock awards to members of management, which would not be assignable during the executive’s life, except for certain gifts to family members or trusts that benefit family members. These equity incentive awards, we believe, would motivate our employees to work to improve our business and stock price performance, thereby further linking the interests of our senior management and our stockholders. The board will consider several factors in determining whether awards are granted to an executive officer, including those previously described, as well as the executive’s position, his or her performance and responsibilities, and the amount of options or other awards, if any, currently held by the officer and their vesting schedule. Our policy will prohibit backdating options or granting them retroactively.

Benefits and Prerequisites

At this stage of our business we have limited benefits and no prerequisites for our employees other than health insurance and vacation benefits that are generally comparable to those offered by other small private and public companies or as may be required by applicable state employment laws. We do not have a 401(k) Plan or any other retirement plan for our Named Executive Officers. We may adopt these plans and confer other fringe benefits for our executive officers in the future if our business grows sufficiently to enable us to afford them.

Separation and Change in Control Arrangements

We do not have any employment agreements with our Named Executive Officers or any other executive officer or employee of Wytec. None of them are eligible for specific benefits or payments if their employment or engagement terminates in a separation or if there is a change of control.

Our Anticipated Compensation Program Following This Distribution

We are currently in the process of determining the compensation programs we anticipate implementing for our senior executives, including our Named Executive Officers following the Distribution. We will include the additional disclosure in subsequent amendments to this prospectus.
