The information furnished reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items which are, in the opinion of management, necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading. The consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020 have been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm. The accounting policies and procedures employed in the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements have been derived from the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2020, which are contained in Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 15, 2021. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 was derived from those financial statements.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the U.S Securities and Exchange Commission for Interim Financial Information. The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. All adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, and the results of operations for three and ~~six~~nine months and cash flows for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 have been included. The results of operations for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Description of Business

DarkPulse, Inc. ("DPI" or "Company") is a technology-security company incorporated in 1989 as Klever Marketing, Inc. ("Klever"). Its’ wholly-owned subsidiary, DarkPulse Technologies Inc. ("DPTI"), originally started as a technology spinout from the University of New Brunswick, Fredericton, Canada. The Company’s security and monitoring systems will initially be delivered in applications for border security, pipelines, the oil and gas industry and mine safety. Current uses of fiber optic distributed sensor technology have been limited to quasi-static, long-term structural health monitoring due to the time required to obtain the data and its poor precision. The Company’s patented BOTDA dark-pulse sensor technology allows for the monitoring of highly dynamic environments due to its greater resolution and accuracy.

On April 27, 2018, Klever entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement” or the “Merger”) involving Klever as the surviving parent corporation and acquiring a privately held New Brunswick corporation known as DarkPulse Technologies Inc. as its wholly owned subsidiary. On July 18, 2018, the parties closed the Merger Agreement, as amended on July 7, 2018, and the name of the Company was subsequently changed to DarkPulse, Inc. With the change of control of the Company, the Merger is being be accounted for as a recapitalization in a manner similar to a reverse acquisition.

On July 20, 2018, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation with the State of Delaware, changing the name of the Company to DarkPulse, Inc. The Company filed a corporate action notification with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), and the Company's ticker symbol was changed to DPLS.

The Company has recently completed several acquisitions. See Note 2 – Business Acquisitions for more information.

Going Concern Uncertainty

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the Company ~~did not generate any revenues and~~ reported a net loss of $~~237,481~~1,924,311. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $~~2,915,206~~12,139,502. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the Company had $~~148,562~~2,564,492 of cash.

The Company will require additional funding to finance the growth of our operations and achieve our strategic objectives. These factors, as relative to capital raising activities, create doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. We are seeking to raise additional capital and are targeting strategic partners in an effort to accelerate the sales and marketing of our products and begin generating revenues. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the success of future capital offerings or alternative financing arrangements, expansion of our operations and generating sales. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. Management is actively pursuing additional sources of financing sufficient to generate enough cash flow to fund its operations however, management cannot make any assurances that such financing will be secured.

Use of Estimates

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the statements of financial condition, and revenues and expenses for the years then ended. Actual results may differ significantly from those estimates. Significant estimates made by management include, but are not limited to, the assumptions used to calculate stock-based compensation, derivative liabilities, preferred deemed dividend and common stock issued for services.

COVID-19 Pandemic

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus originating in Wuhan, China (the “COVID-19 outbreak”) and the risks to the international community as the virus spread globally beyond the point of origin. On March 20, 2020 the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally.

The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve as of the date of these condensed consolidated financial statements. As such, it is uncertain as to the full magnitude that the pandemic will have on the Company’s combined financial condition, liquidity and future results of operations. Management is actively monitoring the impact of the global situation on its consolidated financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry and workforce. Given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak and the global responses to curb its spread, the Company is not able to estimate the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on its results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity for fiscal year 2021 beyond the results presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements and this quarterly report.

Due to the impacts of COVID-19 we have seen an increase in recruiting and labor costs as well as delays in supply chain.

Revenue Recognition

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

The Company recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, we perform the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation. The five-step model is applied to contracts when it is probable that we will collect the consideration we are entitled to in exchange for the goods or services transferred to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, we assess the goods or services promised within each contract and determine those that are performance obligations and assess whether each promised good or service is distinct. We then recognize revenue in the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.

In accordance with ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedient, which is to (1) clarify the objective of the collectability criterion for applying paragraph 606-10-25-7; (2) permit an entity to exclude amounts collected from customers for all sales (and other similar) taxes from the transaction price; (3) specify that the measurement date for noncash consideration is contract inception; (4) provide a practical expedient that permits an entity to reflect the aggregate effect of all modifications that occur before the beginning of the earliest period presented when identifying the satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations, determining the transaction price, and allocating the transaction price to the satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations; (5) clarify that a completed contract for purposes of transition is a contract for which all (or substantially all) of the revenue was recognized under legacy GAAP before the date of initial application, and (6) clarify that an entity that retrospectively applies the guidance in Topic 606 to each prior reporting period is not required to disclose the effect of the accounting change for the period of adoption. The amendments of this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. There was no impact as a result of adopting this ASU on the financial statements and related disclosures. Based on the terms and conditions of the product arrangements, the Company believes that its products and services can be accounted for separately as its products and services have value to the Company’s customers on a stand-alone basis. When a transaction involves more than one product or service, revenue is allocated to each deliverable based on its relative fair value; otherwise, revenue is recognized as products are delivered or as services are provided over the term of the customer contract.

Contract liabilities is shown separately in the unaudited consolidated balance sheets as current liabilities. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had contract liabilities of $2,699,688 and $0, respectively.

Cost of Product Sales and Services

Cost of sales consists primarily of materials, airtime and overhead costs incurred internally and amounts incurred to contract manufacturers to produce our products, airtime and other implementation costs incurred to install our products and train customer personnel, and customer service and third-party original equipment manufacturer costs to provide continuing support to our customers. There are certain costs which are deferred and recorded as prepaids, until such revenue is recognized. Refer to revenue recognition above as to what constitutes deferred revenue.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. The Company places its cash with a high credit quality financial institutions. The Company’s account at this institution is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. To reduce its risk associated with the failure of such financial institution, the Company evaluates at least annually the rating of the financial institution in which it holds deposits.

Intangible Assets

The Company reviews intangibles held and used for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In evaluating the fair value and future benefits of its intangible assets, management performs an analysis of the anticipated undiscounted future net cash flow of the individual assets over the remaining amortization period. The Company recognizes an impairment loss if the carrying value of the asset exceeds the expected future cash flows.

Goodwill and other intangible assets

In accordance with ASC 350-30-65, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Others”, the Company assesses the impairment of identifiable intangibles whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

Factors the Company considers to be important which could trigger an impairment review include the following:

Significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results;

Significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business; and

Significant negative industry or economic trends.

When the Company determines that the carrying value of intangibles may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment and the carrying value of the asset cannot be recovered from projected undiscounted cash flows, the Company records an impairment charge. The Company measures any impairment based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate determined by management to be commensurate with the risk inherent in the current business model. Significant management judgment is required in determining whether an indicator of impairment exists and in projecting cash flows.

Foreign Currency Translation

The ~~company translates monetary assets and liabilities (any item paid for or settled in foreign currency) into~~Company’s reporting currency is U.S. Dollars. The accounts of one of the ~~United States Dollar at exchange rates prevailing on~~Company’s subsidiaries, Optilan, is maintained using the ~~balance sheet date. Non-monetary~~appropriate local currency, Great British Pound, as the functional currency. All assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. Dollars at ~~the~~balance sheet date, shareholders’ equity is translated at historical ~~rate in effect when the transaction occurred. Revenues~~rates and ~~expenses~~revenue and expense accounts are translated at the ~~spot~~average exchange rate onfor the ~~date~~year or the ~~transaction occurred. Exchange~~reporting period. The translation adjustments are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity, captioned as accumulated other comprehensive (loss) gain. Transaction gains and losses arising from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the ~~translation of monetary items~~functional currency are included in ~~unrealized gain/loss on Foreign Exchange as Other Comprehensive Loss.~~

~~The following table discloses~~ the ~~dates and exchange rates used for converting Canadian Dollar amounts to U.S. Dollar amounts disclosed in the balance sheet and the statement~~statements of operations.

The ~~spot exchange rate between the Canadian Dollar and the U.S. Dollar on, December 31, 2020 closing rate at~~ ~~1.2754~~ ~~US$: CAD, average rate at~~ ~~1.3388~~ ~~US$: CAD and~~relevant translation rates are as follows: for the three and nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, closing rate at ~~1.2395~~1.3468 US$: ~~CAD,~~GBP, quarterly average rate at ~~1.2249~~1.3787 US$.: GBP.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, as clarified by ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities given the provisions of enacted tax laws. Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based on changes to the assets or liabilities from year to year. In providing for deferred taxes, the Company considers tax regulations of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, estimates of future taxable income, and available tax planning strategies. If tax regulations, operating results or the ability to implement tax-planning strategies vary, adjustments to the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities may be required. Valuation allowances are recorded related to deferred tax assets based on the "more likely than not" criteria of ASC 740.

ASC 740-10 requires that the Company recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the "more-likely-than-not" threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.

Leases

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company accounts for its leases under ASC 842, Leases. Under this guidance, arrangements meeting the definition of a lease are classified as operating or financing leases, and are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet as both a right of use asset and lease liability, calculated by discounting fixed lease payments over the lease term at the rate implicit in the lease or the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease liabilities are increased by interest and reduced by payments each period, and the right of use asset is amortized over the lease term. For operating leases, interest on the lease liability and the amortization of the right of use asset result in straight-line rent expense over the lease term. For finance leases, interest on the lease liability and the amortization of the right of use asset results in front-loaded expense over the lease term. Variable lease expenses are recorded when incurred.

In calculating the right of use asset and lease liability, the Company has elected to combine lease and non-lease components. The Company excludes short-term leases having initial terms of 12 months or less from the new guidance as an accounting policy election, and recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Accounting for Derivatives

The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses a probability weighted average series Binomial lattice formula pricing models to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates.

The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of the Company's financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, prepaid expenses, and accruals approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments. The Company believes the carrying value of its secured debenture payable approximates fair value because the terms were negotiated at arm’s length.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There were no new accounting pronouncements issued or proposed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board during the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, and through the date of filing of this report that the Company believes has had or will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations, including the recognition of revenue, cash flow, the merger that was consummated on July 18, 2018. The Company has no lease obligations.

Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic net income (loss) per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the dilutive potential common share equivalents outstanding. Potential dilutive common share equivalents consist of shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding convertible preferred stock and stock options.

For the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, there were no stock options outstanding. For the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, common stock equivalents related to convertible preferred stock and convertible debt have not been included in the calculation of diluted loss per common share because they are anti-dilutive. Therefore, basic loss per common share is the same as diluted loss per common share. There are 1,970,029,676 common shares reserved for the potential conversion of the Company's convertible debt.

NOTE 2 – BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

Optilan Holdco 3 Limited

The Company has accounted for the purchase using the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations under ASC 805.

Intangible Assets - Intrusion Detection Intellectual Property

The Company relies on patent laws and restrictions on disclosure to protect its intellectual property rights. As of September 30, 2021, the Company held 3 U.S. and foreign patents on its intrusion detection technology, which expire in calendar years 2025 through 2034 (depending on the payment of maintenance fees).

The DPTI issued patents cover a System and Method for Brillouin Analysis, a System and Method for Resolution Enhancement of a Distributed Sensor, and a Flexible Fiber Optic Deformation System Sensor and Method. Maintenance of intellectual property rights and the protection thereof is important to our business. Any patents that may be issued may not sufficiently protect the Company's intellectual property and third parties may challenge any issued patents. Other parties may independently develop similar or competing technology or design around any patents that may be issued to the Company. The Company cannot be certain that the steps it has taken will prevent the misappropriation of its intellectual property, particularly in foreign countries where the laws may not protect proprietary rights as fully as in the United States. Further, the Company may be required to enforce its intellectual property or other proprietary rights through litigation, which, regardless of success, could result in substantial costs and diversion of management's attention. Additionally, there may be existing patents of which the Company is unaware that could be pertinent to its business, and it is not possible to know whether there are patent applications pending that the Company's products might infringe upon, since these applications are often not publicly available until a patent is issued or published.

For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company amortized $12,757 and $12,757, respectively. Future amortization of intangible assets is as follows:

NOTE 10 – ~~DEBENTURE~~DEBT AGREEMENTS

Secured Debenture

DPTI issued a convertible Debenture to the University in exchange for the Patents assigned to the Company, in the amount of Canadian $1,500,000, or US $1,491,923 on December 16, 2010, the date of the Debenture. On April 24, 2017 DPTI issued a replacement secured term Debenture in the same C$1,500,000 amount as the original Debenture. The interest rate is the Bank of Canada Prime overnight rate plus 1% per annum. The Debenture had an initial required payment of Canadian $42,000 (US$33,385) due on April 24, 2018 for reimbursement to the University of its research and development costs, and this has been paid. Interest-only maintenance payments are due annually starting after April 24, 2018. Payment of the principal begins on the earlier of (a) three years following two consecutive quarters of positive earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, (b) six years from April 24, 2017, or (c) in the event DPTI fails to raise defined capital amounts or secure defined contract amounts by April 24 in the years 2018, 2019, and 2020. The Company has raised funds in excess of the amount required by April 24, 2018. The principal repayment amounts will be due quarterly over a six-year period in the amount of Canadian Dollars $62,500. Based on the exchange rate between the Canadian Dollar and the U.S. Dollar on ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the quarterly principal repayment amounts will be US$49,750. The Debenture is secured by the Patents assigned by the University to DPTI by an Assignment Agreement on December 16, 2010. DPTI has pledged the Patents, and granted a lien on them pursuant to an Escrow Agreement dated April 24, 2017, between DPTI and the University.

The Debenture was initially recorded at the $1,491,923 equivalent US Dollar amount of Canadian $1,500,000 as of December 16, 2010, the date of the original Debenture. The liability is being adjusted quarterly based on the current exchange value of the Canadian dollar to the US dollar at the end of each quarter. The adjustment is recorded as unrealized gain or loss in the change of the value of the two currencies during the quarter. The amounts recorded as an unrealized loss for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and 2020, were $~~16,154~~16,155 and $~~39,04639,046~~39,047 respectively. These amounts are included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss in the Equity section of the consolidated balance sheet, and as Unrealized Loss on Foreign Exchange on the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss. The Debenture also includes a provision requiring DPTI to pay the University a two percent (2%) royalty on sales of any and all products or services which incorporate the Patents for a period of five years from April 24, 2018.

For the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, and 2020, the Company recorded interest expense of $~~13,463~~13,168 and $12,255, respectively.

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021 the debenture liability totaled $~~1,210,155~~1,184,516, all of which was long term.

~~NOTE 3 –~~ ~~CONVERTIBLE DEBT SECURITIES~~Convertible Debt Securities

The Company uses the Black-Scholes Model to calculate the derivative value of its convertible debt. The valuation result generated by this pricing model is necessarily driven by the value of the underlying common stock incorporated into the model. The values of the common stock used were based on the price at the date of issue of the debt security as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021. Management determined the expected volatility of ~~425.68~~%359.78%, a risk-free rate of interest of ~~0.07~~%0.09%, and contractual lives of the debt varying from six months to two years. The table below details the Company's nine outstanding convertible notes, with totals for the face amount, amortization of discount, initial loss, change in the fair market value, and the derivative liability.

On ~~January 29,~~August 19, 2021, ~~Carebourn Capital, L.P. (“~~~~Carebourn~~~~”) commenced suit against~~we entered into the Purchase Agreement with GHS, for the offering of up to $45,000,000 worth of Common Stock. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, on August 19, 2021, we and GHS agreed that we would issue and sell to GHS, and GHS would purchase from the Company, ~~in the 4th Judicial District (Hennepin County District Court) (Minnesota), alleging~~31,799,260 shares of Common Stock for total proceeds to the Company, ~~breached~~net of discounts, of $3,300,000, at an effective price of $0.1038 per share (the “First Closing”). We received approximately $2,790,000 in net proceeds from the ~~terms~~First Closing after deducting the fees and ~~conditions of two convertible promissory notes~~other estimated offering expenses payable by us. We used the net proceeds from the First Closing for working capital and ~~accompanying securities purchase agreements Carebourn and~~for general corporate purposes. The shares were issued to GHS in a registered direct offering, pursuant to a prospectus supplement to our currently effective registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-257826), which was initially filed with the ~~Company entered into~~SEC on July ~~17, 2018~~12, 2021, and ~~July 24, 2018, respectively.~~

Also on January 29, 2021, Carebourn moved for a temporary injunction to enjoin the Company from transferring any shares of its common stock to any third parties. Following submission of briefing by both parties and oral arguments on Carebourn’s motion, on March 17, 2021, the Court denied Carebourn’s motion for a temporary injunction.

On April 14, 2021, Carebourn filed an amended complaint and asserted new claims. On May 13, 2021, the Company filed a motion to dismiss Carebourn’s amended complaint, arguing that Carebourn is conducting itself as an unregistered dealer, in violation of Section 15(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “~~Act~~~~”), and, pursuant to Section 29(b) of the Act, the Company is entitled to have all contracts arising under the unlawful securities transaction~~was declared ~~void ab initio and seek rescissionary damages for any unlawful securities transactions effected by Carebourn.~~

The Company intends to defend itself against the allegations asserted in Carebourn’s amended complaint and interpose the defenses provided under the Act, including but not limited to asserting that Carebourn is an unregistered dealer acting in violation of Section 15(a) and, pursuant to Section 29(b), the Company interposing its right to rescind the unlawful securities contracts in their entirety and, furthermore, seek rescissionary damages for any unlawful securities transactions effected by Carebourn. The Company contends that its arguments are brought in good faith, particularly in light of recent SEC enforcement actions and the SEC’s ongoing investigation against Carebourn, among other parties, for violations of federal securities laws, including violations of Section 15(a) of the Act. See U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission v. Carebourn Capital, LP et al, Case No. 1:20-cv-07162 (N.D. Ill.).

We are not currently involved in any pending legal proceeding or litigation and, to the best of our knowledge, no governmental authority is contemplating any proceeding to which we are a party or to which any of our properties is subject, which would reasonably be likely to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

~~COVID-19~~

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization announced that infections of the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) had become pandemic, and on March 13, the U.S. President announced a National Emergency relating to the disease. There is a possibility of continued widespread infection in the United States and abroad, with the potential for catastrophic impact. National, state and local authorities have required or recommended social distancing and imposed or are considering quarantine and isolation measures on large portions of the population, including mandatory business closures. These measures, while intended to protect human life, are expected to have serious adverse impacts on domestic and foreign economies of uncertain severity and duration. Some economists are predicting the United States will soon enter a recession. The sweeping nature of the coronavirus pandemic makes it extremely difficult to predict how the Company’s business and operations will be affected in the longer run, but we expect that it may materially affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. The extent to which the coronavirus impacts our results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the coronavirus and the actions to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact, among others. Moreover, the coronavirus outbreak has begun to have indeterminable adverse effects on general commercial activity and the world economy, and our business and results of operations could be adversely affected to the extent that this coronavirus or any other epidemic harms the global economy generally and/or the markets in which we operate specifically. Any of the foregoing factors, or other cascading effects of the coronavirus pandemic that are not currently foreseeable, could materially increase our costs, negatively impact our revenues and damage the Company’s results of operations and its liquidity position, possibly to a significant degree. The duration of any such impacts cannot be predicted.

Going Concern Uncertainty

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the Company ~~did not generate any revenues and~~ reported a net loss of ~~$237,481.~~$1,924,311.

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the Company had ~~$148,562~~$2,564,492 of cash.

We will require additional funding to finance the growth of our operations and achieve our strategic objectives. These factors, as relative to capital raising activities, create doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. We are seeking to raise additional capital and are targeting strategic partners in an effort to accelerate the sales and marketing of our products and begin generating revenues. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the success of future capital offerings or alternative financing arrangements, expansion of our operations and generating sales. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. Management is actively pursuing additional sources of financing sufficient to generate enough cash flow to fund its operations; however, management cannot make any assurances that such financing will be secured.

The FirstFire Note matures~~a Finder’s Fee Agreement, on January 26, 2022 upon which time all accrued and unpaid interest will be due and payable. Interest accrues on the FirstFire Note at 10% per annum guaranteed until the FirstFire Note becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or upon acceleration or by prepayment or otherwise. The FirstFire Note is convertible at any time after 180 days from issuance, upon the election of the FirstFire, into shares of our Common Stock at $0.015 per share. The FirstFire Note is subject to various “Events of Default,” which are disclosed in the FirstFire Note. Upon the occurrence of an “Event of Default,” the conversion price will become $0.005. In the event of a DTC “chill” on our shares, an additional discount of 10% will apply to the conversion price while the “chill” is in effect. Upon the issuance of the FirstFire Note, we have initially agreed to reserve 550,000,000 shares of Common Stock.
