NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation: The interim consolidated financial statements included herein, presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein.
Description of Business and Principles of Consolidation: Wytec International, Inc. (“Wytec”), 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, after elimination of all material intercompany accounts, transactions, and profits. Consolidated subsidiaries of Wytec include:
Wylink Inc. (Wylink), 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.
Collectively, Wytec and subsidiaries, are referred to as “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 and Cost Recognition: On January 1, 2018, Wytec International, Inc. adopted the revenue standards of Financial Accounting Standards Board Update No. 2014-09: “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” The core principle of the revenue model is that revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of a good or service. A customer obtains control when it has the ability to direct the use of and obtain the benefits from the good or service. Revenue is recognized in accordance with that core principle by applying the following five steps: 1) identify the contract with a customer; 2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; 3) determine the transaction price; 4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations; and 5) recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation. We implemented this standard using the modified retrospective method. While adoption of this standard required additional disclosures, adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and no adjustments were made to prior periods.
Revenues from the sale and installation of Cel-fi systems totaled $107,551 and $166,027 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively, and $80,667 and $165,975 for the three month periods ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively. Our contracts for the sale of Cel-Fi systems generally include three identified performance obligations: (i) sales of equipment, (ii) sales of installation services, and (iii) sales of testing, commissioning and integration services. The performance obligation for the sale of equipment is deemed to be satisfied on the date the customer takes physical possession of the equipment and has control of the equipment. For installation, testing, commissioning and integration services, the Company measures progress toward complete satisfaction of the performance obligations ratably as the services are performed.
8 |
Revenues from network and other services including fixed wireless services totaled $20,237 and $22,610 for the periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively and $9,403 and $11,344 for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Network service revenues are recognized each month as services are rendered.
Revenue on sales of FCC registered 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 customer are recorded as deferred revenue. No revenues for the sale of FCC registered links was recorded due the period ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018.
Any deposits received from a customer prior to delivery of the purchased product or monies paid to us prior to the period for which a service is provided are accounted for as deferred revenue on the balance sheet.
Sales tax is recorded on a net basis and excluded from revenue.
The Company generally provides a one-year warranty on its products for materials and workmanship but may provide multiple year warranties as negotiated, and will pass on the warranties from its vendors, if any, which generally covers this one-year period. In accordance with ASC 450-20-25, the Company accrues for product warranties when the loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated. At June 30, 2019, the Company has no product warranty accrual given the Company’s de minimis historical financial warranty experience.
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 June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The related party receivable from CCI has been fully reserved as of December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2019.
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.
Depreciable assets are evaluated for impairment on at least an annual basis or upon significant change in the operating or macro-economic environment. In these circumstances, if an evaluation of the undiscounted cash flows indicate impairment, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value, which is generally based on discounted future cash flows. Useful lives are periodically evaluated to determine whether events or circumstances have occurred which indicate the need to revise the useful lives. No impairment charges were incurred for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.
Operating Leases Right-of-use Assets and Operating Lease Obligations: In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)." This update requires that a lessee recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease obligations and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with an initial term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease obligations. Similar to current guidance, the update continues to differentiate between finance leases and operating leases, however, this distinction now primarily relates to differences in the manner of expense recognition over time and in the classification of lease payments in the statement of cash flows. The updated guidance leaves the accounting for leases by lessors largely unchanged from existing GAAP. The guidance became effective for us on January 1, 2019. As a lessee, this standard primarily impacted our accounting for leased facilities and office equipment, for which we recognized right-of-use assets of $408,649 and a corresponding lease obligation of $408,649 on our consolidated balance sheet.

We adopted obligations on these provisions on January 1, 2019 using the optional transition method that permits us to apply the new disclosure requirements in 2019 and continue to present comparative period information as required under FASB ASC Topic 840, "Leases." We did not have a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at the date of adoption. We elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which, among other things, allowed us to exclude leases with an initial term of 12 months or less from the right-of-use assets and obligations. Adoption of the standards had no impact on results of operations or liquidity.
If we determine that an arrangement is or contains a lease, we recognize a right-of-use (ROU) asset and lease obligation at the commencement date of the lease. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease obligations represent our lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and obligations are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
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.
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 Company files an income tax return in the U.S. federal jurisdiction as part of the consolidated group with the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries. The Company is also subject to state income taxes (including franchise, margin and business entity taxes) in several states and such taxes are reflected in income taxes on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Management is not aware of any uncertain tax positions the Company has taken. The Company is subject to routine examinations by taxing authorities; however, there are currently no examinations for any tax periods in progress and its tax returns for the last four years remain open to examination by its significant taxing jurisdictions.
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.
10 |
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-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Material subsequent events, if any, are disclosed in a separate footnote to these 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 $18,743,943 at June 30, 2019, and reported cash used by operations of $1,400,727 for the six months ended June 30, 2019. 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 F – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (DEFICIT)
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.
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.
13 |
NOTE F – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY – continued
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.
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.
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 is owed $419,433 from CCI at June 30, 2019. 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 $-0- for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and $3,481 for the year ended December 31, 2018. 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. The Company has no further plans to fund CCI expenses under this agreement.
NOTE H – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In June 2019, the Company issued a Confidential Private Placement Memorandum (CPPM) pursuant to Rule 506(c) of Regulation D of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 as amended. The CPPM offers Units consisting of one share of common stock and one common stock purchase warrant, at a purchase price of $5.00 per Unit with a minimum purchase requirement of 10,000 Units ($50,000). The maximum offering is $7,500,000. As of August 8, 2019, the Company has received $425,000, $125,000.00 thru June 30th, 2019, and $300,000.00 July 1st thru August 8th, 2019.
On June 20, 2019, the Board of Directors authorized (a) the modification of the expiration date (extended to a new expiration date of July 31, 2019) of the issued and outstanding warrants (collectively, the “Spin-Off Warrants”) originally distributed among the shareholders of Competitive Companies, Inc. (“CCI”) in the spin-off of the Company from CCI, and (b) the modification of the expiration date (extended to a new expiration date of July 31, 2019) of the issued and outstanding warrants issued to certain shareholders of the Company who were issued warrants as consideration for the early conversion of their Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Early Conversion Warrants”). The modification was made in order to give the holders of Spin-Off Warrants and Early Conversion Warrants an additional 31 days to exercise the Spin-Off Warrants and the Early Conversion Warrants, respectively. During the extension period a total of 16,560 Warrants were exercised by 21 warrant holders for a total of $82,200 and there were 762 Series A warrants exercised for a total of $3,810.

For example, when we use words such as “projects,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “will,” “opportunity,” “potential” or “may,” and variations of such words or other words that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes, we are making forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties that may cause the Company’s actual results to be materially different from any future results expressed or implied by the Company in those statements. The most important factors that could prevent the Company from achieving its stated goals include, but are not limited to, the following:
(a) | volatility or decline of our stock price; |
(b) | potential fluctuation in quarterly results; |
(c) | failure to earn revenues or profits; |
(d) | inadequate capital to continue our business; |
(e) | insufficient revenues to cover operating costs; |
(f) | barriers to raising the additional capital or to obtaining the financing needed to implement our business plans; |
(g) | dilution experienced by our shareholders in their ownership of the Company because of the issuance of additional securities by us, or the exercise of warrants or conversion of outstanding convertible securities; |
(h) | inability to complete research and development of our technology with little or no current revenue; |
(i) | lack of demand for our products and services; |
(j) | loss of customers; |
(k) | rapid and significant changes in markets; |
(l) | technological innovations and market developments causing our technology to become obsolete; |
(m) | increased competition from existing competitors and new entrants in the market having substantially greater resources than us; |
(n) | litigation with or legal claims and allegations by outside parties; |
(o) | inability to start or acquire new businesses, or lack of success of new businesses started or acquired by us, if any; |
15 |
(p) | inability to effectively develop or commercialize our technology; and |
(q) | inability to obtain patent or other protection for our proprietary intellectual property. |
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-Q. 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 express.
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-Q or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited 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 Competitive Companies Inc. (“CCI”), our former parent company, authorized management to pursue a plan to spin-off to its stockholders common stock and warrants of its 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 32 inches in height with a radius of approximately 12 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 technologies and 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 in 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 for the next generation of cellular technology now referred to as 5G.
16 |
When Wytec was first founded, we obtained five (5) United States patents (the “Patents”) related to local multipoint distribution service (“LMDS”) originally designed for digital television transmission, and later discovered to be useful in wireless broadband technology. LMDS technology introduced us to the concept of using high frequency radio bands for broadband backhaul and led us into millimeter wave technology. LMDS technology commonly operates on microwave frequencies across the 26 GHz and 29 GHz bands. In the United States, frequencies from 31.0 through 31.3 GHz are also considered LMDS frequencies. Today Wytec utilizes the Millimeter Wave 70-80 GHz spectrum for our backhaul in a point to point configuration transmitting from the top of multiple buildings as an expansion of Wytec’s next generation high speed network. Those networs will entail further transmission to Wytec’s LPN-16s with its patented technology, once Wytec’s LPN-16s are deployed. This configuration is in place today and has become the center piece of Wytec’s “smart city” support to cities across the U.S. Wytec’s latest Valuation Report discusses in detail the conceptual plan for hosting multiple carriers on cellular spectrum along with Wi-Fi delivery discussed in numerous technical papers as a significant part of a 5G network delivery system.
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 such as our LPN-1 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 can solve some of 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. In addition to aligning with technical and governmental issues, the LPN-16 is designed to meet the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) demands for 5G deployment and, for operator needs, and adheres to the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) policy initiatives addressing the wide array of interests ranging from public safety entities and 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” functionality to simultaneously support multiple providers. The LPN-16 was specifically designed to support 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.
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 forthcoming 5G development, FCC policy initiatives and customer business usage. We believe these upgrades 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 technical and industry experience to develop and execute our operating plan. In addition, we have identified key engineering resources for intellectual property development, antenna development, hardware, software and firmware engineering, as well as integration and testing that will allow us to continue to expand our technology and intellectual property.
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.
17 |
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.
Effective January 1, 2018, Wytec International, Inc. adopted the revenue standards of Financial Accounting Standards Board Update No. 2014-09: “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” The core principle of the revenue model is that revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of a good or service. A customer obtains control when it has the ability to direct the use of and obtain the benefits from the good or service. Revenue is recognized in accordance with that core principle by applying the following five steps: 1) identify the contract with a customer; 2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; 3) determine the transaction price; 4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations; and 5) recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation. We implemented this standard using the modified retrospective method. While adoption of this standard required additional disclosures, adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and no adjustments were made to prior periods.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)." This update requires that a lessee recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease obligations and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with an initial term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease obligations. Similar to current guidance, the update continues to differentiate between finance leases and operating leases, however, this distinction now primarily relates to differences in the manner of expense recognition over time and in the classification of lease payments in the statement of cash flows. The updated guidance leaves the accounting for leases by lessors largely unchanged from existing GAAP. The guidance became effective for us on January 1, 2019. As a lessee, this standard primarily impacted our accounting for leased facilities and office equipment, for which we recognized right-of-use assets of $408,649 and a corresponding lease obligation of $408,649 on our consolidated balance sheet.
We adopted obligations on these provisions on January 1, 2019 using the optional transition method that permits us to apply the new disclosure requirements in 2019 and continue to present comparative period information as required under FASB ASC Topic 840, "Leases." We did not have a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at the date of adoption. We elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which, among other things, allowed us to exclude leases with an initial term of 12 months or less from the right-of-use assets and obligations. Adoption of the standards had no impact on results of operations or liquidity.
If we determine that an arrangement is or contains a lease, we recognize a right-of-use (ROU) asset and lease obligation at the commencement date of the lease. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease obligations represent our lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and obligations are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
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.

Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 and Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 and 2018
Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was $127,788 and $188,637, respectively. This decrease in revenue of $60,849 or 32% was primarily due to decreases in revenue from our Cel-fi systems. Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was $90,070 and $177,319, respectively. This decrease in revenue of $87,249, or 49.2%, was primarily due to decreases in revenue from our Cel-fi systems.
Cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was $105,966 and $81,484, respectively. This increase of $24,482, or 30%, is due to the increase in costs incurred related to the sales of our Cel-fi systems. Cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was $93,234 and $81,340, respectively. This decrease of $11,894, or 15%, is due to the decrease in costs incurred related to the sales of our Cel-fi systems.
General and administrative expenses were $1,397,558 for the six months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $1,339,788 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. This resulted in an increase of $57,770 or 4% compared to the same period in 2018. The increase in our general and administrative expenses was largely a result of increase in salaries and wage expense which increased by $46,863, or 8% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018. General and administrative expenses were $796,044 for the three months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $761,502 for the three months ended June 30, 2018. This resulted in an increase of $34,542 or 5% compared to the same period in 2018. The increase in our general and administrative expenses was largely a result of increase in salaries and wage expense which increased by $13,652, or 4.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018.
Research and development costs were $4,500 for the six months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $21,303 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease of $17,003 or 80% was due to a decrease in activity related to the development of Wytec’s LPN-16 and related patent application. Research and development costs were $4,500 for the three months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $16,033 for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease of $11,533 or 72% was due to a decrease in activity related to the development of Wytec’s LPN-16 and related patent application.
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 June 30, 2019, we had working capital deficit of $375,441. As of June 30, 2019, $1,215,000 of our current liabilities is deferred revenue on Link sales that have been funded by 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 no sales or cash flow and intends to fund the LOC from capital raised by CCI in its 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 the 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 $419,433 as of March 31, 2019. As of April 2, 2018, Wytec no longer lends 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 basic operations, which we plan to satisfy as described below under “Satisfaction of our Cash Needs 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 six months ended June 30, 2019 were $1,400,727 compared to $1,608,458 during the six months ended June 30, 2018. This decrease of $207,731 was primarily due to changes in current assets and liabilities during the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018.
Cash Flow from Investing Activities
Cash flows used by investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2019 were $-0- compared to the cash flows used by investing activities of $57,737 during the six months ended June 30, 2018. Capital expenditures totaled $-0- and $57,737 during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively.
Cash Flow from Financing Activities
Cash flows provided from financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2019 were $689,818 compared to $499,903 during the six months ended June 30, 2018. These receipts represent proceeds from the sale of the Company’s common stock.
Satisfaction of Our Cash Obligations for the Next 12 Months.
As of June 30, 2019, our cash balance was $1,010,226. Our plan for satisfying our cash requirements for the next twelve months is through sales-generated income, private placements of our capital stock, 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.
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 June 30, 2019 would be $1,215,000. Wytec would incur estimated additional costs of $598,295 to activate these Registered Links, complete the transaction and earn the $1,215,000 of revenue. If Wytec repurchased the remaining outstanding Links under the current 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 $1,215,000.

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 $18,743,943 at June 30, 2019, 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 of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
We have reviewed the standards issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) through June 30, 2019 and which are not yet effective. None of the standards will have a material impact on our financial statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk.
Not Applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
21 |
Our chief executive officer and principal financial officer, William Gray, has 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 this evaluation, our chief executive officer and principal financial officer has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2019. Specifically, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in timely alerting our management to material information relating to us (including our consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in our periodic SEC filings and ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief financial officer, or person performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, for the following reasons:
· | We do not have an independent board of directors or audit committee. | |
· | We use a financial consultant to assist management with our financial reporting. | |
· | We do not have an independent body to oversee our internal controls over financial reporting and we have limited segregation of duties. |
We have begun to rectify these weaknesses by hiring additional accounting personnel and will create an independent board of directors once we have additional resources to do so.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our chief executive officer and principal financial officer is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Internal control over financial reporting is a process intended to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Due to the matter identified above, we have identified the design and effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting to not be effective.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The Company may be involved in legal actions and claims arising in the ordinary course of business from time to time. As of the date of the report, there are no legal matters of which management is aware.
While we attempt to identify, manage, and mitigate risks and uncertainties associated with our business to the extent practical under the circumstances, some level of risk and uncertainty will always be present. Our Registration Statement on Form S-1, dated October 5, 2017, and final Prospectus, dated October 10, 2017, describe some of the risks and uncertainties associated with our business that have the potential to materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
