PART I

Item 1. Business.

General

Wytec International, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Wytec,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), is a designer and developer of small cell technology and wide area networks designed to support 5G deployments across the United States. Wytec offers in-building and citywide 5G solutions utilizing multiple 5G equipment vendors in combination with its patented LPN-16 small cell technology to complete its network designs. Wytec was incorporated in November 2011 with the purchase of five (5) United States patents (all of which have since expired) directly related to local multipoint distribution service (“LMDS”), utilized in broadband wireless access technology and originally designed for digital television transmission. In June 2014, Wytec filed a provisional patent for its small cell technology which we now call the “LPN-16.” In December 2017, we were granted a patent for our LPN-16 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”), patent number 9,807,032. The patent is described as an “Upgradeable, High Data Transfer Speed, Multichannel Transmission System (“UHTMTS”). The design of the LPN-16 has been purposed as a small cell device to be installed on strategically placed utility poles throughout the United States in support of a hybrid dense network necessary for the next generation of mobile communications known as 5G. In December 2020, Wytec was granted a second patent by the USPTO, patent number 10868775 B2, which is an expansion to our original 2017 patent. This patent includes all features in the original patent and extends the life of the original patent with additional modifications to 2040. Wytec designs its 5G networks to be capable of supporting private LTE allowing private ownership of the network. Private LTE networks have been significantly enhanced due to the most recent FCC commercialization of the Citizens Broadband Radio Service (“CBRS”) spectrum now integrated in smart devices including 5G smartphones. As a result of both private LTE and CBRS, municipal governments, cable operators, wireless Internet Service Providers (“WISPs”), and carriers are now potential customers for Wytec. While Wytec is a public reporting company, its common stock is not yet quoted for public trading.

Industry Overview

Since the 1990s, a potent global movement, including a series of intergovernmental summit meetings, was conducted to close what has been popularly defined as the “Digital Divide”. The Digital Divide refers to the gap between those able to benefit from the internet and those who are not. This movement has energized solutions in public policy, technology design, finance and management that would allow all connected citizens to benefit equitably as a global digital economy spreads into the far corners of the world. Recently, the movement has been further energized by the massive economic disturbance of the Coronavirus. Thus, on March 27, 2020, the 116th U.S. Congress passed a $2.2 trillion economic stimulus bill known as the CARES Act. Immediately, billions of dollars of funding requests came in from counties, cities, and ISDs in hopes of further resolving the raging Digital Divide issue and its devastating effect on underserved citizens and students across the United States. A portion of these much-needed funds will be utilized to upgrade America’s communication infrastructure necessary for supporting an increased expansion into the nation’s underserved broadband areas and to support the next generation of cellular services called 5G. 

As a result of this increased need for greater data capacity, cellular carriers have been aggressively pursuing new technologies to manage this massive data growth. The next generation of wireless communication services, 5G, has now been introduced and is touted to be the answer to America’s future communications needs in supporting fixed broadband and cellular connectivity. For the U.S. cellular industry to meet this challenge, we believe a radical change in network architecture is needed.

Today 4G LTE data traffic depends on “Macro” cell towers for virtually all of the country’s cellular transmission. These towers, which are easily recognized across America’s landscape, stand several hundred feet in height and support antennas six to nine feet in length. These mammoth towers cost mobile operators billions of dollars to construct and millions more to operate. Macro towers were originally designed to support cellular signals in a radius of two to three miles or more and provide service for thousands of subscribers. This design is no longer adequate in meeting current consumer demand or the anticipated speeds of 5G.

To overcome this inadequacy, 5G network architecture condenses the coverage area with the use of Small Cells, with two primary objectives in mind: to increase data capacity and reduce higher-power transmission signals thus reducing dangerous radiation transmission. Most communication experts agree that Small Cells will be the driving force behind 5G services enabling gigabit speeds on essentially all communication devices, including Smartphones. Small Cells are designed to be mounted on utility poles permitting the flexibility of placement throughout a city supporting citywide ubiquitous coverage. This new architecture has now become the primary infrastructure design for “all” citywide 5G deployments. According to an article by Price Waterhouse Coopers (“PwC”), “5G networks can’t succeed without a small cell revolution.”

Connectivity for All

Wytec owns patented small cell technology known as the “LPN-16.” Its neutral-host design is its key differentiation from other small cell technologies, with its ability to support multiple spectrum usage owned and utilized by multiple mobile operators simultaneously. This multi-operator architecture is overwhelmingly accepted by city governments due to the reduced need for utility poles as compared to a single-operator small cell. Carriers are also expected to avidly embrace Wytec’s solution due to a substantially reduced installation cost and speed of deployment.

Another key feature and differentiation of Wytec’s LPN-16 design is its integration with private LTE networks. Already, the City of San Antonio, in a recent article, has indicated a major initiative in deploying a citywide private network to be integrated with its school districts in support of greater distance learning capabilities and increased public safety. Though much of the funding support could rely on federal relief programs, Wytec believes that it can present a way of “self-funding” these needed initiatives through a collaboration involving existing Independent School Districts’ (“ISDs”) federal funds (already in place), revenue derived from a private LTE network (owned by both the city and ISD), and private funding from the capital markets.

Today, carriers dominate the mobile cellular industry, but due to 5G deployment requiring small cells to be installed on utility poles, city governments have significant influence over small cell deployments in accordance with “right of way” regulations requiring pole access. This legal authority by municipalities has had a major impact on the slow speed of 5G deployment throughout America’s cities. Without this legal authority, municipal governments fear that carriers could further dominate their presence by overcrowding America’s utility poles with small cells leaving both an eyesore and potential hazards. We believe that Wytec’s LPN-16 diminishes these concerns due to its multi-carrier features allowing for multiple operators to gain access to poles and utilize the network simultaneously.

Revenue Opportunities

In October 2019, Wytec, participated in a Request For Proposal (the “RFP”) issued by the Laredo ISD in Laredo, Texas involving in-building cellular enhancement for the ISD. Wytec won the RFP with the lowest bid and best technology and was awarded the Contract consisting of 42 buildings within the district. Laredo ISD is a member of the Central Texas Purchasing Alliance (“CTPA”) consisting of 150 other ISDs. Due to language within the Contract under Section 791.001 of the Texas Government Code, all members of the CTPA became eligible to utilize the same winning bid as the Laredo ISD. The CTPA consists of more than 4,300 buildings, representing approximately 513,270,000 square feet. The Laredo ISD winning bid was $.039 per square feet. Assuming all CTPA members took advantage of the $0.39 per square foot winning bid, Wytec could realize revenues of approximately $195,599,363 over a three-year period. Wytec is now building out its second school district under the benefit of Section 791.001 of the Texas Code and is aligning itself to manage a more aggressive build-out over the coming three-year period. In addition to the current cellular enhancement service provided by Wytec to CTPA, the Company has received a strong interest from certain CTPA members to construct a private LTE solution (to include Wytec’s patented LPN-16) for multiple counties, potentially representing substantially greater revenue opportunities for Wytec in the future. Wytec currently utilizes Nokia for its Private LTE services but was able to brand its own LTE service under a channel partner agreement with Nokia called SmartDAS™. 

In addition to Wytec’s revenue potential involving cellular enhancement and private LTE, the Company plans to utilize its LPN-16 technology to provide wholesale services to MVNOs, predominately in the cable industry. Today, cable operators are aggressively pursuing mobile product (smartphones) solutions due to their eroding subscriber base to the carriers. This mobile service is currently offered to cable operators by virtually all carriers, but the cable operators struggle to achieve acceptable profit margins through MVNOs due to the current absence of multi-operator neutral host small cell technology, which allows for a reduction of deployment costs with the addition of each additional carrier or cable operator. Wytec anticipates wide acceptance of the LPN-16 by city governments due to its multi-carrier service capability. There are 450 cable operators aggressively pursuing MVNO services in the United States. This initiative by cable operators is anticipated to create a substantial revenue opportunity for Wytec.

As described above, we believe that Wytec’s LPN-16 small cell offers two significant revenue opportunities involving both a potential sale of the LPN-16 to private LTE clients (such as schools and cities) and as a 5G (Wytec owned) network to support its MVNO wholesale clients such as carriers, cable operators, and WISPs. In a recent publication by Allied Market Research, studies suggest that the small cell 5G Market will reach $6.87 billion by 2026.

Wytec’s Network Infrastructure- Supporting Wytec Products/Services

The LPN-16, recognized by USPTO patent number 9,807,032, as expanded by USPTO patent number 10868775 B2, 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. They 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 IOT, and a host of other related telecommunications services. 

In-Building Cellular: We believe Wytec offers a powerful alternative to the in-building cellular enhancement market which consists of signal boosters, small cells and related indoor distributed antenna systems (“DAS”). DAS is designed to strengthen cellular signals in facilities where 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. Traditional DAS requires the support of the carrier to allow access to their network and can take months to obtain and will cost substantially more. 

We believe that our in-building solution, costing about one third (1/3) that of traditional DAS, is a viable alternative solution without the tedious and sometimes delayed support of the carriers and the Company has already deployed the service in more than 20 building facilities. Wytec has established valuable vendor relationships for in-building solutions with Nokia, Ericcson, Samsung and Nextivity.

Wytec, with its preferred vendor relationships, plans to generate significant revenues deploying in-building, private LTE and MVNO services in 2021.

4G LTE: Wytec, through its relationship with Nokia, is able to provide wholesale MVNO services utilizing to access the largest carrier 4G LTE networks in the United States. Recently, both the cable and WISPs are seeking cellular wholesale arrangements to provide cellular services to their product portfolios.

Customer Concentration

During the year ended December 31, 2020, we received approximately 40% of our gross revenue from our cellular enhancement contract with the Laredo School District in Bexar County, Texas. Total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $1,077,030, and revenue from the Laredo contract during this period was $430,647. Purchase orders for other Alliance ISDs aggregate under this single contract, but we believe that the selling opportunities are far more varied than suggested by the revenue associated with that contract because many different ISDs are available to purchase our products and services through the contract without competitive bidding and other lengthy procedures. Accordingly, our customer base is already diversifying with the recent signing of the Round Rock ISD. Our terms for cellular enhancement services, as reflected in the Laredo contract, are already pre-approved by the Central Texas Purchasing Alliance (“CTPA”) comprised of approximately 150 school districts in central Texas. We have, however, only done a few projects for private commercial enterprises (although we’ve done some notable buildings, such as the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas), and have not extensively pursued business in that sector of the market. The loss of our relationship with the CTPA would have a material adverse impact on our future results of operations, financial condition and business performance.

SwRI engaged us to serve as the general sub-contractor for the project launched by Bexar County, Texas, to build a network linking the County and several school districts in the County with enhanced internet and cellular service utilizing small cell technology. We had a pre-existing relationship with SwRI for several years regarding SwRI conducting trials and certifying our LPN-16 small cell innovation, which is ongoing with trials planned for 2021 or 2022. Separately, Bexar County hired SwRI to advise it with respect to the Private LTE project, and SwRI hired us to implement it. We obtained the Laredo School District as a customer for our cellular enhancement service prior to the Bexar County project, and our service for the Laredo schools is ongoing. We expect to continue to obtain cellular enhancement orders from school districts in the area and beyond because of our work with the Laredo schools, our reasonable budgets for this infrastructure, our status as a preferred vendor to the Alliance, and our expanding relationship with the County. We expect our customer base to gradually diversify among the various schools that seek cellular enhancement services for public safety and convenience, and among other entities, including commercial enterprises that may also order Private LTEs. We expect to generate a substantial majority of our future business internally and separate from SwRI.

Agreement with Laredo School District

We entered into an In-Building Wireless Solution Agreement with the Laredo Independent School District (“Laredo”) on or about September 19, 2019 (the “Agreement”). The Agreement is the result of a Request for Proposal (“RFP”) circulated by Laredo in 2019 for the design, installation and maintenance of a cellular enhancement system for Laredo’s schools and school buildings. It contains detailed specifications and performance requirements for the system. We won the contract through competitive bidding and submission of a comprehensive response to the RFP. The price of the system for Laredo is fixed by turnkey cost covenants by us in the Agreement. We are required to provide ongoing maintenance services for the system. These services are promised by us at fixed turnkey prices in approved budgets at contract commencement. The Agreement has an initial term of three years, subject to evaluation and renewal for up to two more years through September 19, 2024. Additional items not subject to the turnkey provisions can be ordered by Laredo or other ISDs that work under our contract by submission of purchase orders to us. Specified insurance certificates must be obtained and maintained during the term of the contract. We are required to furnish standard minimum manufacturer’s warranties to Laredo, and Laredo does not waive any warranties, whether express or implied. Laredo has the right to terminate the Agreement for “cause” or without “cause” at any time. The Agreement provides that we indemnify Laredo for losses, costs or liabilities it may incur due to our performance of services or provision of goods. Laredo is not obligated to indemnify us. The Agreement confers on Laredo the right to audit our project books and records, and contains a “No Arbitration” clause. It also prohibits conflicts of interest in any matter involving or affecting the projects. A copy of the Agreement is attached to the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular is a part as Exhibit 10.1

Agreement with Southwest Research Institute

In September 2020, Wytec International, Inc. entered into a fixed price contract with SwRI for the design, configuration and construction of a Private LTE for the County of Bexar in the State of Texas. The agreement specifies a fixed price for the initial phase of the Bexar County LTE, as provided in the Statement of Work, of $565,247.28. It includes the incorporation of small cells supplied by Nokia Corporation to confer 5G capability to the network. We expect two (2) more phases to complete the project, for which the budget for each phase will be larger than the first phase. A portion of the first phase work was performed by us prior to the signing of the contract in September and carried forward as a credit to us. In that regard, payments are made by SwRI to us as specified milestones are achieved on the project. We invoice SwRI for payments due when milestones are accomplished, and SwRI is obligated to pay them within 15 days. Our invoices include milestone compliance information and certifications for SwRI’s reference and benefit. The first phase of work was completed on or about December 1, 2020, and the final payment was received by us in December 2020.

SwRI does not waive any rights under the agreement and has the right to demand corrections by us after the work is completed. In addition, we must submit all close-out documents with the final invoice. The close-out documents are specified in Paragraph 5G of the contract. Failure to make this submission to SwRI can cause us to surrender certain rights and payments under the agreement.

Competition

There are numerous existing and commercially available methods of providing both small cell technology and 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 in this highly competitive market. We believe the principal competitive factors affecting our lines of business for LPN-16 is its “neutral host” features allowing multiple carriers to host on one small cell. Additionally, Wytec’s business model invokes a universal placement strategy through its relationship with cities interested in universal support for its school districts. We believe this has placed Wytec in a unique position to incorporate a neutral host small cell that has universal placement throughout a city.

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 utility pole and strand mount 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 (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 of the 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 having 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 MVNO, we compete for customers based principally on providing better and lower cost services.

Competition for Tower Site Location Rentals (Access). For the deployment of Wytec’s small cell, adequate access to rights-of-way on towers and utility poles is necessary. There are a number of other local, regional, and national parties interested in tower/utility pole space access. This includes the equipment used by various public utilities, including electric utilities, major cellular carriers, fiber optic companies and cable companies, and may also include equipment placed by the municipality for public safety.

Intellectual Property

Wytec owns an interest in five (5) U.S. patents related to LMDS or millimeter technology, all of which are now expired. In April 2014, we filed a provisional patent representing the LPN-16 small cell device. In March 2015, the Company filed a Taiwanese Patent Application along with Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) application for patent filings in additional countries. In May 2017, Wytec was granted a patent for its LPN-16 technology and device by the USPTO, patent number 9,807,032. In December of 2020, Wytec was granted a second patent for additional claims to its LPN-16 and device by the USPTO, patent number 10868775 B2. We may be subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business and third parties may sue us for intellectual property infringement or initiate proceedings to invalidate our intellectual property. Moreover, should we be found liable for infringement, we may be required to enter into licensing agreements (if available on acceptable terms or at all), pay damages or curtail our product and service offerings. We may also need to redesign some of our products or services to avoid future infringement liability. Any of the foregoing could prevent us from competing effectively and could adversely affect our business.

Government Regulation

Wytec generally is subject to all of the governmental regulations that regulate businesses generally such as compliance with regulatory requirements of federal, state, and local agencies and authorities, including regulations concerning the environment, permits for certain activities, workplace safety, labor relations, employee rights, and government taxes. 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.

Employees

As of December 31, 2020, we have ten full-time employees. Currently, there are no organized labor agreements or union agreements between us and our employees. Assuming we can earn additional revenue through organic growth, acquisitions and strategic alliances during 2020, 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.

Seasonality

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

Item 1A Risks Factors

The following discussion of risk factors contains forward-looking statements. These risk factors may be important to understanding other statements in this Form 10-K. The following information should be read in conjunction with Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this Form 10-K.

The business, financial condition and operating results of the Company can be affected by several factors, whether currently known or unknown, including but not limited to those described below, any one or more of which could, directly or indirectly, cause the Company’s actual financial condition and operating results to vary materially from past, or from anticipated future, financial condition and operating results. Any of these factors, in whole or in part, could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, operating results and stock price.

Because of the following factors, as well as other factors affecting the Company’s financial condition and operating results, past financial performance should not be a reliable indicator of future performance, and investors should not use historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future periods.

Risks Related to Our Business and Marketplace

If we are unable to renew lease agreements for the locations where our equipment is installed, our business could be harmed. We constructed our first wireless network in Columbus, Ohio to include the installation of our millimeter wave equipment on select rooftops and other structures (our Diamond Ring) pursuant to lease or license agreements designed to send and receive wireless signals necessary for the operation of the network. While we have tested this network, we have not yet launched it for daily commercial operations and have not yet built any other networks, although we are currently doing several cellular enhancement installations, and are building a private LTE network for Bexar County, Texas. Nevertheless, we would typically seek five-year initial terms for our leases with three to five year renewal options. Such renewal options are generally exercisable at our discretion before the expiration of the current term. If these leases are terminated or if the owners of these structures are unwilling to continue to enter into leases or licenses with us in the future, or breach those agreements with us, we would be forced to seek alternative arrangements with other building owners or providers. If we are unable to continue to obtain, retain or renew such leases on satisfactory terms, our business would be harmed.

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.

We are selling telecommunications equipment and services that are relatively new in our portfolio, and the revenue model for them is uncertain. We do not have extensive experience in pricing and billing in-building cellular and private LTE services, nor have we yet deployed LPN-16 with our networks or charged anyone for its capabilities. There is a risk that we may not price and bill sufficiently for our products and services to earn a profit, especially in the early stages of our sale and installation of them. We may continue to incur operating losses even as our sales and revenue increase.

Our Link Program was terminated, and we have liability with respect to the remaining outstanding Links. Through January 2016, Wytec had been relying primarily on the sale of registered links and related equipment and services (“Links”) through Wylink, Inc., our former wholly owned subsidiary which we dissolved in 2020, for revenue and working capital. Wylink terminated the offer and sale of Links in January 2016, except for two sales in July 2016. From June 2016 to December 2017, Wytec had 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, 2018). Subsequently, in 2018 and 2019, Wytec has been making exchange offers for Links by offering shares of common stock and warrants for them. As of December 31, 2020, we had repurchased all but 39 outstanding Links that currently remain with third party owners. Those outstanding Links include 22 that are activated and 17 that are not yet and may not be activated. We are generally retaining activated (“live”) Links that are repurchased by us and letting pending Links lapse for the present. Once Links were sold, Wytec incurred substantial costs to provide equipment and make related lease payments on activated Links. The Company has recently shifted its focus to in-building cellular and private LTE services, respectively, and to LPN-16. Consequently, the Company does not plan to sell, lease, use or activate any more Links. In fact, it plans to continue to try to repurchase them to give Linkholders a better opportunity to monetize their purchase of them and to strengthen the Company’s balance sheet by having holders exchange them for equity. We have recorded a current liability for “other payables” on our balance sheet for the remaining outstanding Links. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to retire the rest of the outstanding Links, or that it will not have claims asserted by Linkholders against it for forced activations and lease renewals or refunds.

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.

If the comprehensive testing to be conducted by the SwRI does not yield favorable results, the execution of our business plan could be delayed or otherwise adversely effected. We are planning to conduct comprehensive trials in the near future with SwRI to test the efficacy of the LPN-16, and while we expect good results with respect to transmission speed, capacity, latency, clarity, and related performance parameters, there is no assurance that the actual results will not be less than expected. There is no assurance as to the date on which the trials will be conducted and completed. The trials with satisfactory results are a necessary predicate to commercializing and deploying our LPN-16 small cell technology. There is no assurance as to the performance results that will be experienced in the upcoming trials. If the results are not satisfactory, we will be delayed in the execution of our business plan, our costs will rise as we make necessary adjustments to the prototypes, and our anticipated revenue will be reduced or delayed.

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 revenues are concentrated in a small number of customers and they may decrease significantly if we were to lose one of these customers. Two customers (i.e., Laredo ISD and Southwest Research Institute) generated approximately 92% of our revenue in the year ended December 31, 2020. Purchase orders aggregate under the Laredo ISD contract, but we believe that the selling opportunities are far more varied than suggested by the revenue associated with the Laredo ISD contract because many different ISDs are able to purchase our products and services through that contract without competitive bidding or other lengthy procedures. In that regard, we have preferred vendor status with the Central Texas Purchasing Alliance (“CTPA”) of which Laredo is a member, along with approximately 150 other school districts in Texas. Nevertheless, this high concentration of revenue from a single customer creates a risk that our revenue may decrease substantially if we were to lose this customer. We cannot assure you that our current main customer will continue to purchase our products and services in the future.

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.

Our ability to protect our intellectual property is uncertain. We assigned our five Patents to our former subsidiary, Wytec, LLC, which was then managed and 50% owned by General Patent Corporation. General Patent Corporation (“GPC”), the oldest patent enforcement firm in the United States, represents clients on patent enforcement rights and licensing transactions on a contingency basis. GPC was the manager of Wytec, LLC until 2017, when it assigned all of its rights in Wytec, LLC back to us. After extensive research and analysis, GPC elected not to assert infringement claims for the Patents on behalf of us and itself through Wytec, LLC. All five previous patents prior to 2017 have expired. We re-acquired the 50% of Wytec, LLC that we did not already own, and became the manager of it. In 2014, we filed a new provisional patent application for our proprietary LPN-16 data transmission technology. We have applied for additional patents and may do so in the future. On October 31, 2017, we received our first patent on the LPN-16 (patent number 9,807,032). In December of 2020, Wytec was granted a second patent (patent number 10868775 B2), for our additional claims to our original 2017 patent.. There is no assurance that this patent or any other patent that may be granted to us, if any, in the future will be enforceable. We will have limited resources to fight any infringements on our proprietary rights and if we are unable to protect our proprietary rights or if such rights infringe on the rights of others, our business would be materially adversely affected. The current manufacturer of our LPN-16 owns the intellectual property rights to certain software used in the device, 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 enter the market more readily 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. Aspects of our telecommunication business 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 that we seek may 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, including without limitation those governing employment, construction, permit requirements, the environment, and health and safety, those governing the telecommunications industry, and the FCC. 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.

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 because 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 are currently conducting an offering of promissory notes and warrants seeking to raise up to $5,000,000 of additional capital. To date, we have sold $625,000 of the promissory notes and warrants to one accredited investor.

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 existing and 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 incur substantial legal fees and costs in connection with future litigation, if any. The Company carries Officers’ and Directors’ liability insurance, as well as other forms of insurance customarily carried by companies such as Wytec, but there is no assurance that our insurance policies will be adequate to cover all of our litigation costs. 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. For example, a former Linkholder and current Series B Preferred Stockholder of the Company has requested a refund of his payments to Wytec. While the Company does not believe that this individual is entitled to a refund, the Company has been amenable to refunding him, but not in excess of the amount he paid for his Links, which he previously exchanged for the Series B Preferred Stock that he currently owns. If this individual does not accept the Company’s offer and commences litigation or the Company becomes involved in other litigation, there could be a material adverse effect on the Company.

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.

Global and regional economic conditions could materially adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and growth. Adverse macroeconomic conditions, including inflation, slower growth, or recession, new or increased tariffs, changes to fiscal and monetary policy, tighter credit, higher interest rates, high unemployment and currency fluctuations could materially adversely affect demand for the Company’s products and services. In addition, consumer confidence and spending could be adversely affected in response to financial market volatility, negative financial news, conditions in the real estate and mortgage markets, declines in income or asset values, changes to fuel and other energy costs, labor and healthcare costs and other economic factors.

In addition to an adverse impact on demand for the Company’s products, uncertainty about, or a decline in, global or regional economic conditions could have a significant impact on the Company’s suppliers, contract manufacturers, logistics providers, distributors, cellular network carriers and other channel partners. Potential effects include financial instability; inability to obtain credit to finance operations and purchases of the Company’s products; and insolvency.

A downturn in the economic environment could also lead to increased credit and collectability risk on the Company’s trade receivables; the failure of derivative counterparties and other financial institutions; limitations on the Company’s liquidity, which is currently minimal; and declines in the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments. These and other economic factors could materially adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and growth.

The Company’s ability to compete successfully depends heavily on its ability to ensure a continuing and timely introduction of innovative new products, services and technologies to the marketplace.

The Company could be subject to changes in its tax rates, the adoption of new U.S. or international tax legislation or exposure to additional tax liabilities. The Company is subject to taxes in the U.S. Due to economic and political conditions, tax rates in various jurisdictions may be subject to significant change. The Company’s effective tax rates could be affected by changes in the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, or changes in tax laws or their interpretation. The Company is also subject to the examination of its tax returns and other tax matters by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities and governmental bodies. The Company regularly assesses the likelihood of an adverse outcome resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of its provision for taxes. There can be no assurance as to the outcome of these examinations. 

Impact of COVID-19 on Wytec’s business. Wytec expects delays in the commencement of its next installation with the Laredo, Texas school district because district staff has not been consistently available to coordinate the installation of the Company’s equipment at their schools as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company also expects that as state actions in response to COVID-19 continue to disrupt commerce at all levels of industry, the Company will experience delays in its supply chain. Although the Company is taking measures to mitigate the effect of COVID-19 on the Company’s business as much as possible, the Company is unable to predict the overall impact of the pandemic on the Company at this time.

Risks Related 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-QX Market or the NASDAQ Capital Market. There is no assurance that the Company’s application for listing its common stock for trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market will be accepted. In order to have our common stock quoted for public trading on the 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.

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, our chief executive officer, is currently the beneficial owner of an aggregate (not subject to dilution) of approximately 51% of Wytec’s outstanding voting power. As a result of such stock ownership, Mr. Gray is able to exercise significant control over all matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control and might adversely affect the market price of our common stock. This concentration of ownership may not be in the best interests of all of our shareholders.

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 if one ever develops, 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 “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 or outcomes 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.

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 1,000 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 on a utility pole to provide dense network coverage. 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 macro site celluar towers covering a much larger area of approximately two (2) miles. The growth of small cells is a response to delivering substantially greater speeds to smartphones and other smart devices 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”), all of which have expired, related to local multipoint distribution service (“LMDS”) originally designed for digital television transmission, and later discovered to be useful in wireless broadband technology Today Wytec utilizes Millimeter and Microwave spectrum as a wireless point to point backhaul for transmitting to its LPN-16 technology. This configuration is being tested in San Antonio, Texas and represents the center piece of Wytec’s 5G initiatives desired by large commercial buildings, school districts and municipalities. Wytec’s ultimate configuration includes the extension of its private LTE design into the offering of its Mobile Virtual Network Operator (“MVNO”) wholesale services to both cable and Wireless Internet Service Providers (“WISPs”) throughout the United States. The Company believes that its MVNO services will become the foundation for supporting true 5G services in the U.S. as defined by the International Telecommunications Union (“ITU”), the standard for all previous mobile generations from 1G to 4G.

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 all morphologies from urban to rural markets.

We believe the LPN-16 small cell can solve many 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 network. In addition to aligning with technical and governmental issues, the LPN-16 is designed to meet the standards for 5G deployment and, for operator needs, adheres to the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) policy initiatives addressing public safety and First Responder initiatives. Specifically, the FCC’s Report and Order 14-153, Acceleration of Broadband Deployment by Improving Wireless Facilities Siting Policies, adopts rules to help spur wireless broadband deployment by facilitating the sharing of wireless transmission equipment using “neutral host” functionality to simultaneously support multiple providers. The LPN-16 was specifically designed to support neutral host features and performance. The FCC’s goal of “shared used” and “neutral host” seeks to expand coverage and capacity more quickly, reduce costs and promote access to infrastructure which reduces barriers to deployment and incentivize the sharing of resources, rather than relying on new builds for every stakeholder, thereby safeguarding environmental, aesthetic, historic and local land-use values.

We have implemented an aggressive intellectual property strategy and continue to pursue patent protection for new innovations. In addition to the LPN-16 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 Wytec’s 5G development business model, FCC policy initiatives and customer business usage which we believe could lead to additional patentable property. We intend to file for patent protection on these developments. Our strategy is to continually monitor the costs and benefits of our patent applications and pursue those that will best protect our business and expand the core 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.

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. Wytec International, Inc. follows 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.

Revenues from the sale and installation of Cel-fi systems, including fixed wireless, SmartDAS, and 4G LTE, totaled $482,273 in 2020 and $358,149 in 2019. 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.

Revenues from network and other services including fixed wireless services totaled $594,756 in 2020 and $47,319 in 2019. 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 were recorded in 2020 or 2019. This source of revenue no longer exists.

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 December 31, 2020, 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 an original purchase 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 considering 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, 2020 and December 31, 2019. 

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.

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 $510,675 and a corresponding lease obligation of $510,675 on our consolidated balance sheet upon adoption of ASU No. 2016-02. At year end December 31, 2020 and 2019, the balance of the right of use asset was $117,169 and $386,742, respectively, and the corresponding lease liability was $98,530 and $387,951, respectively.

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.

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 $0 and $144,994 as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. 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. During 2019, $390,000 of deferred revenue obligations were relieved in exchange for the issuance of preferred stock and $35,000 was refunded to the customer. During 2019 deferred revenue was reclassified to other payables to the Company exiting the business of installing registered links. The Company intendeds to relieve the liability through a combination of common and preferred stock and cash.

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.

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.

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.

Income (loss) per share: Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of stock outstanding during the year, including shares issuable without additional consideration. Diluted – assuming dilution is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year adjusted for the effect of dilutive potential shares from options and warrants calculated using the treasury stock method and the if-converted method for preferred stock. Potentially dilutive shares of common stock will be excluded from diluted net loss per common share because the impact of such inclusion would be anti-dilutive.”

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.

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.

Reclassifications: Certain reclassifications may have been made to our prior year’s consolidated financial statements to conform to our current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on our previously reported results of operations or accumulated deficit.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements: Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Based Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2018-07”), which aligns accounting for share-based payments issued to nonemployees to that of employees under the existing guidance of Topic 718, with certain exceptions. This update supersedes previous guidance for equity-based payments to nonemployees under Subtopic 505-50, Equity – Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. The adoption of ASU 2018-07 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.”

Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019

Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2020 were $1,077,030 compared to revenues of $405,468 for the year ended December 31, 2019, which resulted in an increase of $671,562, or 166%. Our revenues increased in 2020 compared to 2019 due to an increase in revenue from our Cel-Fi Services. Revenues from the sale and installation of Cel-fi systems, including fixed wireless, SmarrtDAS, and 4G LTE, totaled $482,273 in 2020 and $358,149 in 2019, which resulted in an increase of $124,124. Our revenues also increased from network and other services including fixed wireless services which totaled $594,756 in 2020 and $47,319 in 2019, representing an increase of $547,437. The revenue increase in network services was predominately due to our contracts with the Texas School Districts and Southwest Research Institute.

Cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $791,845, an increase of $572,753 or 261%, from $219,092 for the year ended December 31, 2019. Our cost of sales increased primarily due to increased costs incurred related predominately to our contracts with the Texas School Districts and Southwest Research Institute.

Selling and general and administrative expenses were $2,292,597 for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $2,754,447 for the year ended December 31, 2019, which resulted in a decrease of $461,850 or 17%. The decrease in our selling and general and administrative expenses was largely a result of a decrease in our monthly link lease payments and rooftop rent expenses due to cancellations as well as a decrease in consulting and legal fees. Salaries and wages expense decreased by $274,664 or 19.5% from $1,408,698 for the year ended December 31, 2019 to $1,134,034 for the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease in salaries and wages is due to a decrease in larger salaried employees.

Research and development costs were $21,161 for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $4,500 of research and development costs for the year ended December 31, 2019, which resulted in an increase of $16,661, or 370%. The increase in research and development costs is due to an increase in expenses incurred in the development of our LPN-16.

Depreciation expense was $38,128 for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $136,182 for the year ended December 31, 2019, resulting in a decrease of $98,054 or 72%. The decrease in depreciation expense is principally due to fewer asset additions in the last two to three years.

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, 2020, we had a working capital deficit of $1,287,970. As of December 31, 2019, $895,000 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 2019 deferred revenue was reclassified to other payable due to the Company exiting the business of installing registered links. The Company intends to relieve the liability through a combination of common and preferred stock and cash.

We estimate that we could approximately need $3,800,000 of capital or financing over the next twelve months to fund our planned operations, including completing the final San Antonio trials of the LPN-16, obtaining a “certification” from Southwest Research Institute for its commercial and military applications, and supporting a valuation of the LPN-16, which we plan to satisfy as described below under “Satisfaction of our Cash Obligations for the Next Twelve Months.” These needs include paying down existing $625,000 of debt that is expected to come due in the next twelve months as well as to pay out the $895,000 included in other payables for monies due back to the Registered Link holders. Until the $895,000 is converted to common stock, the amounts are due on demand and, therefore, while unlikely to be demanded, the monies are included as an outflow over the next twelve months. Additionally, Wytec will look to extend the long-term debt of $625,000 that comes due in August of 2021, however, until negotiated, it is included as a cash need for the next twelve months. Approximately $2,280,000 of the cash needs relate to operational needs that cannot be extended.

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 considering 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, 2020 were $1,693,921 compared to $2,620,130 during the year ended December 31, 2019.

Cash Flow from Investing Activities

Our investing activities consist principally of equipment.

Cash flows used by investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2020 were $13,039 compared to the cash flows used by investing activities of $25,001 during the year ended December 31, 2019.

Cash Flow from Financing Activities

Cash flows provided from financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2020 were $1,683,588 compared to $1,543,100 during the year ended December 31, 2019. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we issued $839,375 in common stock and during December 31, 2019, we issued $1,543,100 in common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we also obtained financing for $803,158 and received $121,055 for common stock issued in 2021.

Satisfaction of Our Cash Obligations for the Next Twelve Months

As of December 31, 2020, our cash balance was $595,732. Our plan for satisfying our cash requirements for the next twelve months is through sales-generated income, including revenue from our installation contracts with the Texas school districts, private placements of our capital stock, exercise of warrants, third party financing, and/or traditional bank financing. We anticipate sales-generated income during that same period, 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.

Other Payable

During 2019, $895,000 of deferred revenue, related to amounts billed and collected before services related to registered links previously sold by the Company (“Registered Links”) had been completed, was reclassified to other payable due to the Company’s exiting the business of installing registered links. The Company intends to relieve the liability through a combination of exchanges for common and preferred stock and cash.

Repurchase of Registered Links

During 2019, the Company refunded the purchase price of one Registered Link for a total cash payment of $35,000, respectively, for the return of the Registered Link and elimination of related obligations. Wytec, at its sole discretion, has at times refunded the purchase price of Registered Links before the Registered Links were installed and absent the acceptance of repurchase under a Registered Link buy-back offering of Series B Preferred Stock and warrants. This action resulted in a corresponding reduction of unearned revenue. During 2020, no Registered Link refunds were given.

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 $22,092,678 at December 31, 2020, 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, 2020 and which are not yet effective. No new accounting standards will impact the Company.
