PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
This summary highlights selected information contained elsewhere in this prospectus and does not contain all of the information you should consider in making your investment decision. You should read the following summary together with the more detailed information regarding us and our common stock being sold in the offering, including the risks of investing in our common stock discussed under “Risk Factors,” beginning on page 8 and our historical and pro forma condensed combined financial statements and the related notes appearing elsewhere in this prospectus, before making an investment decision. For convenience, in this prospectus, unless the context suggests otherwise, the terms “we,” “our,” “our company,” “Company” and “us” and “Wytec” refer to Wytec International, Inc., a Nevada corporation, as applicable.
Overview
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 cell phone network coverage 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”).
In October 2019, Wytec, participated in a Request For Proposal (the “RFP”) issued by the Laredo Independent School District (“ISD”) in Laredo, Texas involving in-building cellular enhancement for the ISD. Wytec won the RFP and was awarded a contract with the Laredo ISD to provide cellular enhancement to 42 buildings within the district (the “Laredo Contract”). Laredo ISD is a member of the Central Texas Purchasing Alliance (“CTPA”), a collective of 150 ISDs including Laredo ISD. Due to language within the Laredo Contract and pursuant to 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 of potential cellular enhancement projects. Wytec is now building out its second and third school districts under the benefit of Section 791.001 of the Texas Code and is aligning itself to manage a more aggressive build-out within the CTPA over the coming three-year period. In addition to the current cellular enhancement service provided by Wytec to CTPA members, the Company has received a strong interest from certain CTPA members to construct a private Long Term Evolution (“LTE”) solution (to include Wytec’s patented LPN-16) for multiple counties, potentially representing substantially greater revenue opportunities for Wytec in the future. In addition, the Infrastructure and Jobs Act (H.R. 3684), signed into law by President Biden on November 15, 2021, dedicates significant funds in the amount of $6,797,439,357 to broadband initiatives particularly in schools and underserved student populations in school districts.
We currently utilize Nokia for its Private LTE services but we were able to brand our own LTE service under a channel partner agreement with Nokia called SmartDAS™. Nokia is working with us in marketing our services to school districts and other projects and has been a source of referral for business to the Company. Currently, Nokia is designing video marketing material to help us market to ISDs and other school districts.
For the year ended December 31, 2020, we had a net loss of $2,022,495 an accumulated deficit of $22,071,742 and a working capital deficit of $1,843,431. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we had a net loss of $1,422,987 and an accumulated deficit of $23,515,665. We anticipate that we will continue to incur losses in future periods until we are successful in significantly increasing our revenues.
While Wytec is a public reporting company, our common stock is not currently 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 and social disturbance of the Coronavirus. Thus, on March 11, 2021, the American Rescue Plan (“ARP”) was signed into law providing $1.9 trillion, with $122 billion for Elementary and Secondary Emergency Relief (“ARP ESSER Fund”) known as the CARES Act.
| 1 |
Wytec believes it can capture a significant portion of the ARP funds due to its technology and partner relationships with some of the largest technology vendors in the world. Immediately, billions of dollars of funding has become available under the ARP for 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 the increased need for greater data capacity, we have seen cellular carriers more aggressively pursuing new technologies to manage this massive data growth. The next generation of wireless communication services, 5G, has now been introduced to America’s future communications needs for supporting additional 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 depends significantly on “Macro” cell towers for the majority of America’s cellular traffic. 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 sizeable 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, Wytec believes that 5G network architecture will need to densify coverage areas with the use of Small Cells, which are designed to be mounted on utility poles permitting the flexibility of placement throughout a city supporting citywide ubiquitous coverage. Small Cells are designed with two primary objectives in mind: to increase data capacity and reduce higher-power transmission signals thus reducing dangerous radiation transmission. Wytec believes that Small Cells will be the driving force behind 5G services enabling faster speeds on current and future communication devices, including Smartphones. According to an article by Price Waterhouse Coopers (“PwC”), “5G networks can’t succeed without a small cell revolution.”
Risks Associated With Our Business and This Offering
Our business is subject to numerous risks described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus. You should carefully consider these risks before making an investment. Some of these risks include, but are not limited to:
| · | An occurrence of an uncontrolled event such as the Covid-19 pandemic, is likely to negatively affect our operations. | |
| · | Operating and litigation risks may not be covered by insurance. | |
| · | Future climate change laws and regulations and the market response to these changes may negatively impact our operations. | |
| · | Competition in our industry may negatively impact our operations. | |
· | Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion on our financial statements. | |
| · | We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, and our business and stock price may be adversely affected if we do not adequately address those weaknesses or if we have other material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting. | |
| · | Future sales of shares by existing stockholders could cause our stock price to decline | |
| · | We will have broad discretion in how we use the net proceeds of this offering. | |
| · | We may not use these proceeds effectively, which could affect the results of operations and cause the stock price to decline. | |
| · | Additional stock offerings in the future may dilute your percentage ownership of our company. |

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company
As a company with less than $1.0 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, or the JOBS Act. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (or the “Securities Act”), for complying with new or revised accounting standards. Thus, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies.
An emerging growth company may also take advantage of reduced reporting requirements that are otherwise applicable to public companies. These provisions include, but are not limited to:
| · | we may present only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations; | |
| · | not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; | |
| · | reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports, proxy statements and registration statements; and | |
| · | exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. |
We may take advantage of these provisions until the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of our common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, which such fifth anniversary will occur in 2026. However, if certain events occur prior to the end of such five-year period, including if we become a “large accelerated filer,” our annual gross revenues exceed $1.0 billion or we issue more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt in any three-year period, we will cease to be an emerging growth company prior to the end of such five-year period.
We have elected to take advantage of certain of the reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in this prospectus and, as long as we continue to qualify as an emerging growth company, we may elect to take advantage of this and other reduced burdens in future filings. As a result, the information that we provide to our stockholders may be different than you might receive from other public reporting companies in which you hold equity interests.
We are also a “smaller reporting company,” as defined under Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Regulation S-K. As such, we also are exempt from the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and also are subject to less extensive disclosure requirements regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements. We will continue to be deemed a smaller reporting company until our public float exceeds $75 million on the last day of our second fiscal quarter in the preceding fiscal year.

We may also increase or decrease the number of shares we are offering. A 1,000,000 share increase or decrease in the number of shares offered by us would increase or decrease pro forma as adjusted cash, total assets and total stockholders' deficit by approximately $[ ] million, assuming that the assumed initial price to public remains the same, and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. These unaudited pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. |

RISK FACTORS
Any investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below as well as other information provided to you in this document, including information in the section of this document entitled “Information Regarding Forward Looking Statements.” If any of the following risks actually occur, the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected, the value of the Company’s common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
Our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and our stockholders may lose all or part of their investment in our securities.
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 may have liability with respect to the remaining outstanding Links. Through January 2016, Wytec had been selling registered links and related equipment and services (“Links”) through Wylink, Inc., our former wholly owned subsidiary which we dissolved in 2020. 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 offered 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 made a new exchange offer 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 22 linkholders. Of the 39 outstanding Links held, 15 of the 39 links were activated with Wytec paying $500 per month for a period of 60 months thereby satisfying the link obligation according to the link agreement leaving a total of 24 links that have expired but were not activated.

The Company has recently shifted its focus to in-building cellular and private LTE services, respectively, and to its patented LPN-16 technology. Consequently, the Company does not plan to sell, lease, use or activate any additional Links. In fact, it plans to continue to try to repurchase both the remaining 24 inactivated and 15 activated links in order to strengthen the Company’s balance sheet by having holders exchange them for equity. We will offer link holders the opportunity to exchange such links based on a public offering price. We have recorded a current liability for “other payables” on our balance sheet for the remaining outstanding Links of $895,000. 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 of the efficacy of the LPN-16 to be conducted by Southwest Research Institute 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 Southwest Research Institute (“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.
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 SwRI) generated approximately 92% of our revenue in the year ended December 31, 2020, and Laredo ISD generated approximately 70% of our revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Although we have preferred vendor status with the CTPA of which Laredo is a member, along with approximately 150 other school districts in Texas, the high concentration of revenue from a limited number of customers creates a risk that our revenue may decrease substantially if we were to lose any significant customer. We cannot assure you that our current main customers 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.
| 9 |
Our ability to protect our intellectual property is uncertain. We assigned our five patents to our former subsidiary, Wytec, LLC, which was then managed and 50% owned by General Patent Corporation. General Patent Corporation (“GPC”), the oldest patent enforcement firm in the United States, represents clients on patent enforcement rights and licensing transactions on a contingency basis. GPC was the manager of Wytec, LLC until 2017, when it assigned all of its rights in Wytec, LLC back to us. After extensive research and analysis, GPC elected not to assert infringement claims for the patents on behalf of us and itself through Wytec, LLC. All five previous patents prior to 2017 have expired. In 2017, we re-acquired the 50% of Wytec, LLC that we did not already own, and became the manager of it. In 2014, we filed a new provisional patent application for our proprietary LPN-16 data transmission technology. On October 31, 2017, we received our first patent on the LPN-16 (patent number 9,807,032). In December of 2020, Wytec was granted a second patent (patent number 10868775 B2), for our additional claims to our original 2017 patent. Although we have applied for additional patents and may do so in the future, 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 Federal Communications Commission (“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. In addition, 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 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.
| 10 |
We may incur cost overruns. We may incur substantial cost overruns in the development and deployment of our proprietary products and services. Management is not obligated to contribute capital to us. Unanticipated costs may force us to obtain additional capital or financing from other sources or may cause us to lose our entire investment in our business if we are unable to obtain the additional funds necessary to implement our business plan. We cannot assure that we will be able to obtain sufficient capital to successfully implement our business plan. If a greater investment is required in the business because of cost overruns, the probability of earning a profit or a return on investment in us is diminished.
We could be subject to liens. If we fail to pay for materials and services for our business on a timely basis, our assets could be subject to material men’s and workmen’s liens. We may also be subject to bank liens in the event that we default on loans from banks, if any.
We may face litigation in the future. We may be involved in litigation in the future. The adverse resolution of such litigation to us could impair our ability to continue in business if judgment holders were to seek to liquidate our business through levy and execution. We may incur substantial legal fees and costs in connection with future litigation, if any. If we fail in our defense to future actions, if any, or become subject to a levy and execution on our assets and business, we could be forced to liquidate or to file for bankruptcy and be unable to continue in our business. There is also a risk that we could face litigation and regulatory claims that could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, operating results, and business.
We may not have adequate funds to implement our business plan. We currently have limited capital available to us. While we anticipate that the proceeds of the offering will allow us to continue our operations for at least 12 months thereafter, we may be required to secure 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 have prevented us from retaining key employees and inhibited 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. Following the offering when we expect 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.
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.
| 11 |
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.
Delays in the commencement of scheduled installations due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic may have a material adverse effect on our 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 and this Offering
There is currently no trading market for our common stock and we cannot ensure that one will ever develop or be sustained. There is no current market for any of our shares of common stock and a market may not develop. We intend to apply to list our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market and intend to list our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market if we raise sufficient capital in this offering, but there is no guarantee that we will be able to do so. If we are not successful in listing our shares of common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market, our common stock may be traded on an over-the-counter market to the extent any demand exists. Even if listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, a liquid trading market may not develop. Investors should assume that they may not be able to liquidate their investment for some time or be able to pledge their shares as collateral.
| 12 |
If we successfully list on Nasdaq Capital Market, our shares are likely to be thinly traded for some time and an active market may never develop. If we successfully list on the Nasdaq Capital Market, it is likely that initially there will be a very limited trading market for our common stock and we cannot ensure that a robust trading market will ever develop or be sustained. Our shares of common stock may be thinly traded, and the price, if traded, may not reflect our actual or perceived value. There can be no assurance that there will be an active market for our shares of common stock in the future. The market liquidity will be dependent on the perception of our business, competitive forces, growth rate and becoming cash flow profitable on a sustainable basis, among other things. We may, in the future, take certain steps, including utilizing investor awareness campaigns, press releases, road shows, and conferences to increase awareness of our business and any steps that we might take to bring us to the awareness of investors may require we compensate financial public relations firms with cash and/or stock. There can be no assurance that there will be any awareness generated or the results of any efforts will result in any impact on our trading volume. Consequently, investors may not be able to liquidate their investment or liquidate it at a price that reflects the value of the business and trading may be at an inflated price relative to the performance of our company due to, among other things, availability of sellers of our shares. If a market should develop, the price may be highly volatile. Because there may be a low price for our shares of common stock, many brokerage firms or clearing firms may not be willing to effect transactions in the securities or accept our shares for deposit in an account. Even if an investor finds a broker willing to effect a transaction in the shares of our common stock, the combination of brokerage commissions, transfer fees, taxes, if any, and any other selling costs may exceed the selling price. Further, many lending institutions will not permit the use of low priced shares of common stock as collateral for any loans.
Our stock price may fluctuate significantly, and you could lose all or part of your investment. The trading price of our common stock following this offering may fluctuate substantially and may be higher or lower than the initial public offering price. This may be especially true for companies with a small public float. The trading price of our common stock following this offering will depend on several factors, including those described in this “Risk Factors” section, many of which are beyond our control and may not be related to our operating performance. These fluctuations could cause you to lose all or part of your investment in our common stock since you might be unable to sell your shares at or above the price you paid in this offering. The market price of shares of our common stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to many risk factors listed in this section, and others beyond our control, including:
| · | actual or anticipated fluctuations in our financial condition and operating results; |
| · | actual or anticipated changes in our growth rate relative to our competitors; |
| · | competition from existing companies in the space or new competitors that may emerge; |
| · | issuance of new or updated research or reports by securities analysts; |
| · | fluctuations in the valuation of companies perceived by investors to be comparable to us; |
| · | share price and volume fluctuations attributable to inconsistent trading volume levels of our shares; |
| · | additions or departures of key management or technology personnel; |
| · | disputes or other developments related to proprietary rights, including patents, litigation matters, and our ability to obtain patent protection for our technologies; |
| · | changes to reimbursement levels by commercial third-party payers and government payers and any announcements relating to reimbursement levels; |
| · | announcement or expectation of additional debt or equity financing efforts; |
| · | sales of our common stock by us, our insiders or our other stockholders; and |
| · | general economic and market conditions. |
| 13 |
These and other market and industry factors may cause the market price and demand for our common stock to fluctuate substantially, regardless of our actual operating performance, which may limit or prevent investors from readily selling their shares of common stock and may otherwise negatively affect the liquidity of our common stock. In addition, the stock market in general has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of companies.
If our shares become subject to the penny stock rules, it would become more difficult to trade our shares. The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or authorized for quotation on certain automated quotation systems, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. If we do not obtain or retain a listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market or if the price of our common stock falls below $5.00, our common stock will be deemed a penny stock. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, before a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document containing specified information. In addition, the penny stock rules require that before effecting any transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, a broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive (i) the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement; (ii) a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks; and (iii) a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements would likely have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our common stock, and therefore stockholders may have difficulty selling their shares.
FINRA sales practice requirements may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock. In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”), has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative, low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. The FINRA requirements may make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in our common stock. As a result, fewer broker-dealers may be willing to make a market in our common stock, reducing a stockholder’s ability to resell shares, as well as overall liquidity, of our common stock.
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. Prior to this offering, Mr. Gray will exchange his Series C Preferred shares for common stock representing approximately 15% of the Company’s voting power. This percentage ownership could give him significant control over matters requiring a shareholder vote.
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 do not intend to 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.
| 14 |
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.
Future sales of shares by existing stockholders could cause our stock price to decline. If our existing stockholders sell, or indicate an intent to sell, substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market after the six month contractual lock-up and other legal restrictions on resale discussed in this prospectus lapse, the trading price of our common stock could decline significantly and could decline below the initial public offering price. Based on shares outstanding as of the date of this prospectus, upon the completion of this offering, we will have [ ] outstanding shares of common stock. Of these shares, assuming no shares are purchased in this offering by our existing stockholders, [ ] shares of common stock, plus any shares sold pursuant to the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares, will be immediately freely tradable, without restriction, in the public market.
After the 360 day lock-up agreements pertaining to this offering expire, as the case may be, and based on shares outstanding as of the date of the prospectus, an additional [ ] shares will be eligible for sale in the public market. If our existing stockholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, or if the public perceives that such sales could occur, this could have an adverse impact on the market price of our common stock, even if there is no relationship between such sales and the performance of our business.
Because our offering price is substantially higher than our net tangible book value per share, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution. If you purchase common stock in this offering, you will pay more for your common stock than the amount paid by our existing stockholders for their common stock on a per share basis. As a result, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution of $[ ] per share, representing the difference between the assumed initial public offering price of $[ ] per share, and our net tangible book value per share as of September 30, 2021, after giving effect to the net proceeds to us from this offering. In addition, you may experience further dilution to the extent that our shares are issued upon the exercise of any share options. See “Dilution” for a more complete description of how the value of your investment in our common stock will be diluted upon completion of this offering.
We will have broad discretion in how we use the net proceeds of this offering. We may not use these proceeds effectively, which could affect our results of operations and cause our stock price to decline. We will have considerable discretion in the application of the net proceeds of this offering, including for any of the purposes described in the section entitled “Use of Proceeds.” We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for expansion of the business as well as for working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes, including funding the costs of operating as a public company. As a result, investors will be relying upon management’s judgment with only limited information about our specific intentions for the use of the net proceeds of this offering. We may use the net proceeds for purposes that do not yield a significant return or any return at all for our stockholders. In addition, pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds from this offering in a manner that does not produce income or that loses value.
| 15 |
After the completion of this offering, we may be at an increased risk of securities class action litigation. Historically, securities class action litigation has often been brought against a company following a decline in the market price of its securities. If we were to be sued, it could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could harm our business.
We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, and our business and stock price may be adversely affected if we do not adequately address those weaknesses or if we have other material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting. We have identified and are now taking steps to correct material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. In particular, we concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2020 for the following reasons:
| · | we do not have an independent board of directors or audit committee or adequate segregation of duties; | |
| · | a significant portion of our financial reporting is prepared by our financial consultant; | |
| · | we do not have an independent body to oversee our internal controls over financial reporting and lack segregation of duties due to the limited nature and resources of the Company; and | |
| · | inadequate closing process to ensure all material misstatements are corrected in the financial statements. |
The existence of one or more material weaknesses or significant deficiencies could result in errors in our financial statements, and substantial costs and resources may be required to rectify any internal control deficiencies. As part of our internal review prior to submitting our financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, our management identified certain items, which, pursuant to GAAP standards, required adjusting entries for proper financial presentation. The identified items related to prior periods dating back to 2019, and included: (1) an immaterial understatement of certain expenses incurred during the year ended December 31, 2020 that were recorded in the year ended December 31, 2019; (2) an immaterial understatement of accounts receivable and revenue for the year ended December 31, 2019; and (3) an immaterial unrecorded gross up of fixed assets and corresponding loans on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2020, which also resulted in a misclassification of costs on the Consolidated Statement of Operations by overstating Selling, General and Administrative expense and understating Depreciation and Amortization and Other Expense (for associated interest expense). Please see Note L to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for the period ended September 30, 2021 and Note O to the audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 included elsewhere in this prospectus for additional information about these adjustments.
If we cannot produce reliable financial reports, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, we may be unable to obtain additional financing to operate and expand our business and our business and financial condition could be harmed.
Failure to maintain effective internal control over our financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) could cause our financial reports to be inaccurate. We are required pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act to maintain internal control over financial reporting and to assess and report on the effectiveness of those controls. This assessment includes disclosure of any material weaknesses identified by our management in our internal control over financial reporting. Although we prepare our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, our internal accounting controls may not meet all standards applicable to companies with publicly traded securities. If we fail to implement any required improvements to our disclosure controls and procedures, we may be obligated to report control deficiencies and our independent registered public accounting firm may not be able to certify the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. In either case, we could become subject to regulatory sanction or investigation. Further, these outcomes could damage investor confidence in the accuracy and reliability of our financial statements.
If equity research analysts do not publish research or reports about our business or if they issue unfavorable commentary or downgrade our common stock, the price of our common stock could decline. The trading market for our common stock may be affected by the research and reports that equity research analysts publish about us and our business. We do not control these analysts. The price of our common stock could decline if one or more equity analysts downgrade our common stock or if analysts issue other unfavorable commentary or cease publishing reports about us or our business.

We have elected to take advantage of specified reduced disclosure requirements applicable to an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act, the information that we provide to stockholders may be different than they might receive from other public companies. As a company with less than $1 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include:
| · | only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure; | |
| · | reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements; | |
| · | no non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements; and | |
| · | exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting and delaying the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. |
We have elected to take advantage of the above-referenced exemptions and we may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such earlier time that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenues, we have more than $700 million in market value of our stock held by non-affiliates, or we issue more than $1 billion of non-convertible debt over a three-year period. We may choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens. We have not taken advantage of any of these reduced reporting burdens in this prospectus, although we may choose to do so in future filings. If we do, the information that we provide stockholders may be different than you might get from other public companies that comply with public company effective dates.
Additional stock offerings in the future may dilute your percentage ownership of our Company. Given our plans and expectations that we may need additional capital and personnel, we may need to issue additional shares of common stock or securities convertible or exercisable for shares of common stock, including convertible preferred stock, convertible notes, stock options or warrants. The issuance of additional securities in the future will dilute the percentage ownership of then current stockholders.
State securities laws may limit secondary trading of our common stock if our common stock is not listed on a national securities exchange, which may restrict the states in which and conditions under which you can sell shares purchased in this offering. Secondary trading of the shares sold in this offering will not be possible in any state until the shares are qualified for sale under the applicable securities laws of the state, or there is confirmation that an exemption, such as resulting from the potential listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market or another national securities exchange or listing in certain recognized securities manuals, is available for secondary trading in the state. If we fail to list our common stock on a national securities exchange and otherwise fail to register, qualify, obtain or verify an exemption for the secondary trading of our common stock in any particular state, any shares purchased in this offering may not be offered, sold to, or be purchased by a resident of such state. In the event that a significant number of states refuse to permit secondary trading in our common stock, the liquidity for our common stock could be significantly impacted, thus causing you to suffer a loss on your investment. While we intend to seek to facilitate secondary trading in our common stock in the event our common stock is not listed on a national securities exchange, there can be no assurances that we will be successful in qualifying or finding an exemption in each state or other jurisdictions.

USE OF PROCEEDS
We estimate that the net proceeds of this offering will be approximately $ [ ] million, from the sale of our securities in this offering (or $[ ] million if the underwriter exercises in full its over-allotment option) after deducting the underwriting discounts and commission and estimated offering expenses payable by us. The public offering price per share was negotiated between us and the underwriters based on market conditions at the time of pricing.
Each $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price of $[ ] per share would increase (decrease) the net proceeds to us from this offering by approximately $[ ] million, assuming the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same, and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. We may also increase or decrease the number of shares we are offering. Each increase (decrease) of 1,000,000 shares in the number of shares offered by us would increase (decrease) the net proceeds to us from this offering by approximately $[ ] million, assuming the assumed initial public offering price stays the same, and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.
We intend to use the net proceeds received from this offering to fund marketing efforts, to hire additional personnel particularly employees to process RFPs and a portion of the proceeds for further development of Wytec’s patented LPN-16 Small Cell technology. We may also use a portion of the net proceeds for the acquisition of, or investment in, technologies, solutions or businesses. However, we have no present commitments or agreements to enter into any acquisitions or investments. Pending these uses, we may invest the net proceeds from this offering in short-term, investment-grade interest-bearing securities such as money market accounts, certificates of deposit, commercial paper and guaranteed obligations of the U.S. government.
The amounts and timing of our actual expenditure will depend on numerous factors, including the status of our planned and anticipated installations, the amount of cash generated or used by our operations, competitive pressures and other factors described under “Risk Factors” in this prospectus. We therefore cannot estimate the amount of net proceeds to be used for the purposes described above. As a result, we may find it necessary or advisable to use the net proceeds for other purposes. Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds, and investors will be relying on our judgment regarding the application of the net proceeds from this offering. Investors will not have an opportunity to evaluate the economic, financial or other information on which we base our decisions regarding the use of these proceeds.

DILUTION
Purchasers of our common stock in this offering will experience an immediate and substantial dilution in the as adjusted net tangible book value of their shares of common stock. Dilution in as adjusted net tangible book value represents the difference between the public offering price per share and the as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately after the offering.
As of September 30, 2021, our historical net tangible book value (deficit) as of September 30, 2021 was approximately $(1,880,979) or $(0.28) per share of common stock. Our historical net tangible book value (deficit) per share of our common stock represents our total tangible assets (total assets less intangible assets) less total liabilities. Our historical net tangible book value (deficit) per share represents historical net tangible book value (deficit) divided by 6,810,322 shares of common stock outstanding as of that date.
Our pro forma net tangible book value as of September 30, 2021, was approximately $(1,575,479) or $(0.14) per share of common stock, after giving effect to (1) the inclusion of the sale and issuance of 91,100 shares of our common stock to an accredited investor in a private placement transaction conducted in accordance with Regulation D, promulgated under the Securities Act, and (2) the conversion of 1,000 shares of our Series C Convertible Preferred Stock for 3,000,000 shares of our common stock that occurred from September 30, 2021 through the date of this prospectus, or which this registration statement forms a part.. Our pro forma net tangible book value per share represents pro forma net tangible book value divided by 9,901,422 shares of common stock outstanding, as if such conversion and issuances occurred on September 30, 2021.
After further giving effect to (i) the pro forma adjustment described above, and (ii) our receipt of approximately $[ ] million of estimated net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, from our sale of common stock in this offering at an assumed initial public offering price of $[ ] per share, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of September 30, 2021, would have been approximately $[ ] million, or $[ ] per share. This amount represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $[ ] per share of our common stock to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $[ ] per share of our common stock to new investors purchasing shares of common stock in this offering. Dilution per share to new investors purchasing shares of common stock in this offering is determined by subtracting pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering from the assumed initial public offering price per share paid by new investors.
The following table illustrates this dilution on a per share basis to new investors:
| Assumed public offering price | ||||
| Historical net tangible book value (deficit) as of September 30, 2021 | (0.28 | ) | ||
| Increase in pro forma net tangible book value attributable to pro forma adjustments described above | 0.13 | |||
| Pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of September 30, 2021 | (0.14 | ) | ||
| Increase in pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value attributable to investors participating in this offering | ||||
| Pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value immediately after this offering | ||||
| Dilution per share to net investors in this offering | ||||
The dilution information discussed above is illustrative only and will change based on the actual initial public offering price and other terms of this offering to be determined at pricing. Each $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price of $[ ] per share would increase (decrease) the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share by approximately $[ ] million, or by approximately $[ ] per share, assuming the number of shares of common stock offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. Similarly, each increase (decrease) of 1,000,000 shares in the number of shares of common stock offered by us would increase (decrease) the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share by approximately $[ ] million, or approximately $[ ] per share, assuming the assumed initial public offering price remains the same, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.
If the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares in full in this offering, the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value after this offering would be approximately $[ ] million, or approximately $[ ] per share, the increase in pro forma net tangible book value to existing stockholders would be $[ ] per share, and the dilution per share to new investors would be $[ ] per share, in each case based on an assumed initial public offering price of $[ ] per share.
| 21 |
The following table summarizes as of September 30, 2021 on the pro forma as adjusted basis described above, the number of shares of our common stock, the total consideration and the average price per share (1) paid to us by our existing stockholders and (2) to be paid by investors purchasing our common stock in this offering at an assumed initial public offering price of $[ ] per share, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.
Average Price Per Share | Shares Purchased | Total Consideration | ||||||||||||||||||

The number of shares of our common stock outstanding after the completion of this offering is based on 6,810,322 shares of our common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2021 and excludes the following:
| · | 2,467,453 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants with a weighted average exercise price of $1.76 per share; | |
· | 2,280,000 shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of 2,280,000 outstanding shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock; and | |
· | 2,811,800 shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of 2,811,800 outstanding shares of our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. |
If the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares in full, the percentage of shares of common stock held by existing stockholders will decrease to approximately [ ]% of the total number of shares of our common stock outstanding after this offering, and the number of shares held by new investors will increase to [ ], or approximately [ ]% of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding after the offering.
To the extent that warrants are exercised, new securities are issued, or we issue additional shares of common stock in the future, there will be further dilution to investors participating in this offering. In addition, we may choose to raise additional capital because of market conditions or strategic considerations, even if we believe that we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans. If we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of these securities could result in further dilution to our stockholders.

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 prospectus or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited and unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes to those statements. In addition to historical information, the following discussion and other parts of this annual report contain forward-looking statements and information that involves risks and uncertainties.
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 both Wi-Fi and cellular transmission within a concentrated coverage area of approximately 900 feet in circumference. The hardware consists of a chassis or framework approximately three feet in height with a radius of approximately 32 inches. It is designed to be installed on a utility pole for a dense network coverage. The unit, referred to as an outdoor “small cell”, is designed to increase signal strength for both Wi-Fi and cellular capacity by placing a large number of them in densely populated areas as compared to the traditional macro site cellular towers covering a radius of approximately two (2) miles. The demand of small cells is in response to delivering substantially greater speeds to smartphones and other smart devices in preparation for the next generation of cellular technology now referred to as 5G.
When Wytec was first founded, we obtained five (5) United States patents 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 and point to multipoint solution in preparation of its LPN-16 technology with its ultimate configuration designed to include the extension of its private LTE design into the offering of a wholesale Mobile Virtual Network Operator (“MVNO”) service 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 many of its Internet of Things (“IOT”) objectives. To facilitate 5G IOT applications, operators need reliable connections with strong signal integrity, significant bandwidth and low latency. Small cells accomplish this improved connectivity (speeds, reliability, and low latency) to the edge of existing macro networks, serving all morphologies from urban to rural markets.
We believe our 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 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.
| 24 |
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.
Wytec’s Three (3) Phased Approach to Deploy a Citywide 5G Service
In 2019, Wytec responded to a Request for Proposal (“RFP”) issued by the Laredo Independent School District (“ISD”) in Laredo, Texas. The RFP was a request for In-building Cellular Enhancement Services designed to improve cellular signals for 44 of the school districts buildings including its administrative building. Wytec proposed a solution included within its private labeled SmartDAS™ technology known as a repeater technology utilizing its wholesale channel partner relationship with the Nextivity Company. Wytec won the bid, and, as a result of certain “procurement” language within the RFP, became an approved vendor for 155 other ISD’s within an organization called the Central Texas Purchasing Alliance (“CTPA”) with a potential revenue capability of over $150 Million for just its SmartDAS™ solution. This became Wytec’s 1st Phase of a 3 Phase approach to utilizing its LPN-16 technology. In 2020, Wytec was selected to introduce a “Pilot” proposal to Bexar County, Texas for proposing a private LTE solution for the Southwest ISD (also a member of the CTPA). Wytec selected the Nokia Corporation (a new Wytec channel partner) to deploy one of the first private LTE networks to an ISD in the nation. Wytec’s private LTE design was constructed to include a “second tier” network that can support a cellular service for carriers, cable operators and WISPs. This is Wytec’s 2nd Phase to its three-phase approach to deploy a citywide 5G service. Wytec’s final Phase 3 development will include the use of its patented LPN-16 small cell technology enabling a full and complete neutral host, dense network capable of delivering 5G services to a city. When applying Wytec’s SmartDAS™ In-building Cellular solution, its private LTE solution and its wholesale MVNO solution utilizing government broadband funds to just the CTPA, Wytec believes that it has a significant revenue opportunity.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations, including the discussion on liquidity and capital resources, are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management re-evaluates its estimates and judgments, particularly those related to the determination of the estimated recoverable amounts of trade accounts receivable, impairment of long-lived assets, revenue recognition and deferred tax assets. We believe the following critical accounting policies require more significant judgment and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements.
We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses that may arise if any of our customers are unable to make required payments. Management specifically analyzes the age of customer balances, historical bad debt experience, customer credit-worthiness, and changes in customer payment terms when making estimates of the collectability of our trade accounts receivable balances. If we determine that the financial conditions of any of our customers deteriorated, whether due to customer specific or general economic issues, increases in the allowance may be made. Accounts receivable are written off when all collection attempts have failed.
Effective January 1, 2018, Wytec International, Inc. adopted the revenue standards of Financial Accounting Standards Board Update No. 2014-09: “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” Accordingly, Wytec International, Inc. recognizes revenue in accordance with the core principle of the revenue model in 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.

Effective January 1, 2019, Wytec International, Inc. adopted the leasing standards of Financial Accounting Standards Board Update No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)." If we determine that an arrangement is or contains a lease which is 12 months or longer, we recognize a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and lease obligation at the commencement date of the lease. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease obligations represent our lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and obligations are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Under this method, to the extent that we believe that the deferred tax asset is not likely to be recovered, a valuation allowance is provided. In making this determination, we consider estimated future taxable income and taxable timing differences expected in the future. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 and Three Months Ended September 30, 2021 and 2020
Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was $392,375 and $444,390, respectively. This decrease in revenue of $52,015 or 11.7%, was primarily due to decreases in revenues related to delays in projects from COVID-19, shipping delays, and delays in the release of government funds. Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2021 was $77,999 and $111,625, respectively. This decrease in revenue of $33,626 or 30%, was primarily due to a decrease in revenue from our Cel-fi systems, which are no longer our primary revenue model.
Cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was $330,733 and $361,087, respectively. This decrease of $30,354 or 8%, was due to the decrease in costs incurred related to the sales of our Cel-fi systems. Cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was $62,481 and $50,340, respectively. This increase of $12,141 or 24%, was due to the increase in costs incurred related to the sales of our Cel-fi systems and improved efficiencies in operations.
General and administrative expenses were $552,415 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to $472,464 for the three months ended September 30, 2020, this resulted in an increase of $79,951 or 17% compared to the same period in 2020. Contributing factors to the increase include an increase in stock transfer fees of $42,580 and an increase in legal fees of $32,201 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. The remaining increase is attributable to an overall rise in some office and administrative expenses due to increased activity regarding obtaining new contracts. General and administrative expenses were $1,478,420 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to $1,675,332 for the nine months ended September 30 2020, this resulted in a decrease of $196,912 or 12% compared to the same period in 2020. Contributing factors to the decrease include a decrease in professional fees of $64,069, a decrease in warrant and stock based compensation of $82,107, a decrease in dues and subscriptions of $50,455, a decrease of $95,334 in salaries and wages and a decrease in travel of $21,183 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. The remaining decrease is attributable to cost savings from reduced operating expense to ensure cash needs are met. Where a percentage is not listed, the comparison period expense category is $0 and the calculation is not meaningful.
We believe that the proceeds of this offering will be sufficient to fund and grow our operations for at least the next 12 months.
We anticipate that we will incur operating losses in the next twelve months. Our revenue is not expected to exceed our investment and operating costs in the next twelve months. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses, and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stage of operations. To address these risks, we must, among other things, seek growth opportunities through investment and acquisitions, implement and successfully execute our business strategy, respond to competitive developments, and attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel. We cannot assure that we will be successful in, addressing such risks, and the failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Cash Flow from Operating Activities
Cash flows used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were $1,309,259 compared to $1,342,592 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This decrease of $33,333 was primarily due to changes in net loss during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to the same period in 2020.
Cash Flow from Investing Activities
Cash flows used by investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were $-0 compared to the cash flows used by investing activities of $13,039 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Capital expenditures totaled $-0 and $13,039 during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively.
Cash Flow from Financing Activities
Cash flows provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were $876,606 compared to $1,027,411 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. These receipts represent proceeds from the sale of the Company’s common stock and from the issuance of debt.
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, SmartDAS, 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 $2,299,895 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 $454,552 or 16.5%. 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 $70,440 for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $136,182 for the year ended December 31, 2019, resulting in a decrease of $65,742 or 48%. The decrease in depreciation expense is principally due to fewer asset additions in the last two to three years.
Cash Flow from Operating Activities
Cash flows used in operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2020 were $1,660,419 compared to $2,620,130 during the year ended December 31, 2019.
| 27 |
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 $1,650,086 compared to $1,543,100 during the year ended December 31, 2019. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we issued $854,405 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 12 Months.
On September 30, 2021, our cash balance was $163,079. Absent this offering, our plan for satisfying our cash requirements for the next twelve months was through sales-generated income, private placements of our capital stock, third party financing, and/or traditional bank financing. We anticipate sales-generated income during that same period of time, but do not anticipate generating sufficient revenue to meet our working capital requirements. Consequently, we intend to attempt to find sources of additional capital in the future to fund our growth and expansion through additional equity or debt financing or credit facilities. There is no assurance that we will be able to meet our working capital requirements through the private placement of equity or debt or from any other source. We believe that the proceeds of this offering, if completed, will be sufficient to fund our operations over the next 12 months.
Other Payable
Other Payable of $895,000 consists of amounts billed and collected before services related to registered links previously sold by the Company (“Registered Links”) have been completed. During 2019, deferred revenue was reclassified to other payables due by the Company which has exited the business of installing Registered Links.
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 $23,515,665 on September 30, 2021, and have reported negative cash flows from operations. In addition, we do not currently have the cash resources to meet our operating commitments for the next twelve months. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, and complications frequently encountered by entrance into established markets and the competitive nature in which we operate.
Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to generate sufficient cash from operations to meet our cash needs and/or to raise funds to finance ongoing operations and repay debt. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts to raise additional debt or equity capital and/or that our cash generated by our operations will be adequate to meet our needs. These factors, among others, indicate that we may be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
We have reviewed the standards issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) through September 30, 2021 and which are not yet effective. None of the standards will have a material impact on our financial statements.

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 Long-Term Evolution telecommunications (“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. 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™.
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 became available for 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, we believe that cellular carriers will aggressively pursue new technologies to manage this massive data growth. We believe the next generation of wireless communication services, 5G, will be touted as the answer to America’s future communications needs in supporting both fixed and cellular broadband 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 predominately utilizes “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 sizeable 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. We believe that many, if not 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. We believe that this new architecture will 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. We believe this multi-operator architecture will be overwhelmingly accepted by city governments due to the reduced need for utility poles as compared to a single-operator small cell. We expect carriers to also 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. We believe this unique integration design will assist us in deploying a citywide private network and further 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 “revenue share” initiative through a collaboration involving the city’s existing Independent School Districts’ (“ISDs”), current federal fund programs, as well as private funding from the capital markets.
We believe that much of the deployment of 5G technologies will require a significant number of Small Cells to be installed on utility poles. We believe this provides city governments with significant influence over small cell deployments in accordance with “right of way” regulations requiring pole access. We believe this legal authority by municipalities has had a major impact on the slow speed of 5G deployments throughout America’s cities. Without this legal authority, municipal governments could experience an 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. Wytec is now building out its second and third 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 members, 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™. The Company intends to use a portion of the proceeds of the offering to hire additional personnel to manage the expected upcoming surge in RFPs from additional members of the CTPA as funds are released to such school districts.
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 Mobile Virtual Network Operators (“MVNO”), predominately in the cable industry. Today, we see an aggressive movement by cable operators pursuing cellular services for their existing broadband customers due to their eroding subscriber base to the carriers. Though this cellular service is currently being offered to cable operators by the carriers, we have noticed that the wholesale margins offered have challenged the cable operators in achieving reasonable profit margins. Wytec anticipates wide acceptance of the LPN-16 by city governments due to its multi-carrier service capability. Cable operators are aggressively pursuing MVNO services in the United States and we believe Wytec can capture a significant market share of this service through its LPN-16 small cell technology.
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) 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, including the Johnson Space Center and the tallest building in Dallas. Wytec has established valuable vendor relationships for in-building solutions with Nokia, Ericcson, Samsung and Nextivity.
Wytec, with its preferred vendor relationships, believes that it can generate significant revenues deploying in-building, private LTE and MVNO services in 2021, including in the campuses of ISDs comprising the CTPA.
4G LTE: Wytec, through its relationship with Nokia, is able to provide wholesale MVNO services utilizing Nokia 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. Due to the relationship with Nokia, the Company’s capital commitments are lower as they can include much of the necessary hardware and software. Eventually, Wytec would want to migrate its own hardware and software solutions to gain greater profit margins over time.
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. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Laredo School District accounted for 72% of our gross revenues. Purchase orders for other CTPA 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 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.
| 31 |
Southwest Research Institute (“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 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, although there can be no assurance, 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 “Laredo Agreement”) as a result of a RFP circulated by Laredo in 2019 for the design, installation and maintenance of a cellular enhancement system for Laredo’s schools and school buildings. The Laredo Agreement contains detailed specifications and performance requirements for the system. We won the contract with Laredo 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 Laredo 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 Laredo 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 Laredo Agreement for “cause” or without “cause” at any time. The Laredo 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 Laredo 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.
As a result of the Laredo RFP award, Wytec was chosen as the vendor of choice for the Round Rock ISD in Round Rock, Texas. Wytec utilized its SmartDAS™ solution to make the Nextivity technology compatible with various types of vendor equipment. Wytec is continuing to receive purchase orders from both Round Rock and Laredo ISD’s for its In-building cellular solutions.
Agreement with Southwest Research Institute
In September 2020, we 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 “SwRI Agreement”). The SwRI Agreement specifies a fixed price for the initial phase of the Bexar County LTE of $565,247. The SwRI Agreement includes the incorporation of small cells supplied by Nokia Corporation to confer 5G capability to the network. We expect, although there can be no assurance, 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 SwRI Agreement 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.

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.
| 33 |
Legal Proceedings
As of the date hereof, we are not a party to any material legal or administrative proceedings. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, executive officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial stockholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest. We may from time to time be subject to various legal or administrative claims and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Litigation or any other legal or administrative proceeding, regardless of the outcome, is likely to result in substantial cost and diversion of our resources, including our management’s time and attention.
Employees
As of September 30, 2021, 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 2021, 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.

Family Relationships and Other Arrangements

Other than as set forth above, there are no arrangements or understandings between or among our executive officers and directors pursuant to which any director or executive officer was or is to be selected as a director or executive officer.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
To our knowledge, during the last ten years, none of our directors, executive officers, promoters or control persons have:
| · | had a bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time; | |

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight
The Board has three standing committees: Audit, Compensation and Corporate Governance/Nominating. The membership of each of the committees of the Board is comprised of independent directors, with each of the committees having a chairman, each of whom is an independent director. Our non-management members of the Board will meet in executive session at each regular Board meeting. The charter of each committee will be available on our website at www.wytecintl.com.
Risk is inherent with every business, and how well a business manages risk can ultimately determine its success. Management is responsible for the day-to-day management of the risks we face, while the Board, as a whole and through its committees, has responsibility for the oversight of risk management. In its risk oversight role, the Board is responsible for satisfying itself that the risk management processes designed and implemented by management are adequate and functioning as designed.
| 36 |
Our Board has discretion to determine whether to separate or combine the roles of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Gray has served in both roles since 2011, and our Board continues to believe that his combined role is most advantageous to the Company and its stockholders.
In addition to Mr. Gray’s leadership, the Board maintains effective independent oversight through a number of governance practices, including, establishing the right “tone at the top” and full and open communication between executive management and the Board. Mr. Gray communicates frequently with members of the Board to discuss strategy and challenges facing our company. Each quarter, the Board receives presentations from senior management on matters involving our key areas of operations.
Audit Committee

Compensation Committee
We have a separately-designated Compensation Committee. The purpose of the Compensation Committee is to discharge the Board’s responsibilities relating to compensation of our directors and executive officers.

The Compensation Committee has the power to form one or more subcommittees, each of which may take such actions as may be delegated by the Compensation Committee.
| 37 |
We have adopted a compensation committee charter, which after the consummation of this offering will be posted on our investor website. The charter of the Compensation Committee grants the Compensation Committee authority to select, retain, compensate, oversee and terminate any compensation consultant to be used to assist in the evaluation of director, chief executive officer, officer and our other compensation and benefit plans and to approve the compensation consultant’s fees and other retention terms. The Compensation Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of any internal or external legal, accounting or other advisors and consultants retained by the Compensation Committee.

The Corporate Governance/Nominating Committee is responsible for identifying and evaluating candidates for director. Potential nominees are identified by the Board based on the criteria, skills and qualifications that are deemed appropriate by the Corporate Governance/Nominating Committee. The Corporate Governance/Nominating Committee believes that candidates for director should have certain minimum qualifications, including high character and integrity, an inquiring mind and vision, willingness to ask hard questions, ability to work well with others, freedom from conflicts of interest, willingness to devote sufficient time to the Company’s affairs, diligence in fulfilling his or her responsibilities and the capacity and desire to represent the best interests of the Company and our stockholders as a whole and not primarily a special interest group or constituency. While our nominating criteria does not prescribe specific diversity standards, the Corporate Governance/Nominating Committee and its independent members seek to identify nominees that have a variety of perspectives, professional experience, education, difference in viewpoints and skills, and personal qualities that will result in a well-rounded Board.

He has requested, and the Board has approved an exchange of 3,000,000 Wytec common shares for the 1,000 Series C Preferred Shares. The voting effect of this exchange will reduce Mr. Gray’s voting control to less than 20%.
SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The following table presents information, to the best of our knowledge, about the beneficial ownership of our common stock on September 30, 2021, held by those persons known to beneficially own more than 5% of our capital stock and by our directors and executive officers. The percentage of beneficial ownership for the following table is based on 6,810,322 shares of common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2021.
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and does not necessarily indicate beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under these rules, beneficial ownership includes those shares of common stock over which the stockholder has sole or shared voting or investment power. It also includes (unless footnoted) shares of common stock that the stockholder has a right to acquire within 60 days after September 30, 2021, through the exercise of any option, warrant or other right. The percentage ownership of the outstanding common stock, however, is based on the assumption, expressly required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, that only the person or entity whose ownership is being reported has converted options or warrants into shares of our common stock.
| Name of Officer, Director or Shareholder (1) | Number of Common Shares | Percent Beneficially Owned (2) | ||||||

The address of each person is in the care of the Company. |

Anti-takeover Effects of Nevada Law
Business Combinations
The “business combination” provisions of Sections 78.411 to 78.444, inclusive, of the Nevada Revised Statutes, or NRS, generally prohibit a Nevada corporation with at least 200 stockholders of record, a “resident domestic corporation,” from engaging in various “combination” transactions with any “interested stockholder” unless certain conditions are met or the corporation has elected in its articles of incorporation to not be subject to these provisions. We have not elected to opt out of these provisions and if we meet the definition of resident domestic corporation, now or in the future, our company will be subject to these provisions.
A “combination” is generally defined to include (a) a merger or consolidation of the resident domestic corporation or any subsidiary of the resident domestic corporation with the interested stockholder or affiliate or associate of the interested stockholder; (b) any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer, or other disposition, in one transaction or a series of transactions, by the resident domestic corporation or any subsidiary of the resident domestic corporation to or with the interested stockholder or affiliate or associate of the interested stockholder having: (i) an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of the assets of the resident domestic corporation, (ii) an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of all outstanding shares of the resident domestic corporation, or (iii) 10% or more of the earning power or net income of the resident domestic corporation; (c) the issuance or transfer in one transaction or series of transactions of shares of the resident domestic corporation or any subsidiary of the resident domestic corporation having an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the resident domestic corporation to the interested stockholder or affiliate or associate of the interested stockholder; and (d) certain other transactions with an interested stockholder or affiliate or associate of the interested stockholder.
An “interested stockholder” is generally defined as a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns (or within two years, did own) 10% or more of a corporation’s voting stock. An “affiliate” of the interested stockholder is any person that directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries is controlled by or is under common control with the interested stockholder. An “associate” of an interested stockholder is any (a) corporation or organization of which the interested stockholder is an officer or partner or is directly or indirectly the beneficial owner of 10% or more of any class of voting shares of such corporation or organization; (b) trust or other estate in which the interested stockholder has a substantial beneficial interest or as to which the interested stockholder serves as trustee or in a similar fiduciary capacity; or (c) relative or spouse of the interested stockholder, or any relative of the spouse of the interested stockholder, who has the same home as the interested stockholder.
If applicable, the prohibition is for a period of two years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless such transaction is approved by the board of directors prior to the date the interested stockholder obtained such status; or the combination is approved by the board of directors and thereafter is approved at a meeting of the stockholders by the affirmative vote of stockholders representing at least 60% of the outstanding voting power held by disinterested stockholders; and extends beyond the expiration of the two-year period, unless (a) the combination was approved by the board of directors prior to the person becoming an interested stockholder; (b) the transaction by which the person first became an interested stockholder was approved by the board of directors before the person became an interested stockholder; (c) the transaction is approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power held by disinterested stockholders at a meeting called for that purpose no earlier than two years after the date the person first became an interested stockholder; or (d) if the consideration to be paid to all stockholders other than the interested stockholder is, generally, at least equal to the highest of: (i) the highest price per share paid by the interested stockholder within the three years immediately preceding the date of the announcement of the combination or in the transaction in which it became an interested stockholder, whichever is higher, plus compounded interest and less dividends paid, (ii) the market value per share of common shares on the date of announcement of the combination and the date the interested stockholder acquired the shares, whichever is higher, plus compounded interest and less dividends paid, or (iii) for holders of preferred stock, the highest liquidation value of the preferred stock, plus accrued dividends, if not included in the liquidation value. With respect to (i) and (ii) above, the interest is compounded at the rate for one-year United States Treasury obligations from time to time in effect.
| 45 |
Applicability of the Nevada business combination statute would discourage parties interested in taking control of our company if they cannot obtain the approval of our Board. These provisions could prohibit or delay a merger or other takeover or change in control attempt and, accordingly, may discourage attempts to acquire our company even though such a transaction may offer our stockholders the opportunity to sell their stock at a price above the prevailing market price.
Control Share Acquisitions
The “control share” provisions of Sections 78.378 to 78.3793, inclusive, of the NRS, apply to “issuing corporations” that are Nevada corporations with at least 200 stockholders of record, including at least 100 stockholders of record who are Nevada residents, and that conduct business directly or indirectly in Nevada, unless the corporation has elected to not be subject to these provisions.
The control share statute prohibits an acquirer of shares of an issuing corporation, under certain circumstances, from voting its shares of a corporation’s stock after crossing certain ownership threshold percentages, unless the acquirer obtains approval of the target corporation’s disinterested stockholders. The statute specifies three thresholds: (a) one-fifth or more but less than one-third, (b) one-third but less than a majority, and (c) a majority or more, of the outstanding voting power. Generally, once a person acquires shares in excess of any of the thresholds, those shares and any additional shares acquired within 90 days thereof become “control shares” and such control shares are deprived of the right to vote until disinterested stockholders restore the right. These provisions also provide that if control shares are accorded full voting rights and the acquiring person has acquired a majority or more of all voting power, all other stockholders who do not vote in favor of authorizing voting rights to the control shares are entitled to demand payment for the fair value of their shares in accordance with statutory procedures established for dissenters’ rights.
A corporation may elect to not be governed by, or “opt out” of, the control shares provisions by making an election in its articles of incorporation or bylaws, provided that the opt-out election must be in place on the 10th day following the date an acquiring person has acquired a controlling interest, that is, crossing any of the three thresholds described above. We have not opted out of these provisions and will be subject to the control share provisions of the NRS if we meet the definition of an issuing corporation upon an acquiring person acquiring a controlling interest unless we later opt out of these provisions and the opt out is in effect on the 10th day following such occurrence.
The effect of the Nevada control share statute is that the acquiring person, and those acting in association with the acquiring person, will obtain only such voting rights in the control shares as are conferred by a resolution of the stockholders at an annual or special meeting. The Nevada control share law, if applicable, could have the effect of discouraging takeovers of our company.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our shares. Future sales of our common stock in the public market, or the availability of such shares for sale in the public market, could adversely affect market prices prevailing from time to time. As described below, only a limited number of shares will be available for sale shortly after this offering due to contractual and legal restrictions on resale. Nevertheless, sales of our common stock in the public market after such restrictions lapse, or the perception that those sales may occur, could adversely affect the prevailing market price at such time and our ability to raise equity capital in the future.
Based on the number of shares outstanding as of the date of this prospectus, upon the completion of this offering, [ ] shares of our common stock will be outstanding, assuming no exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option to purchase additional shares. Of the outstanding shares, all of the shares sold in this offering will be freely tradable, except that any shares held by our affiliates, as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, may only be sold in compliance with the limitations described below.
Rule 144
In general, a person who has beneficially owned restricted stock for at least six months would be entitled to sell his securities provided that (i) such person is not deemed to have been one of our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the 90 days preceding, a sale and (ii) we are subject to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, periodic reporting requirements for at least 90 days before the sale. Persons who have beneficially owned restricted shares for at least six months but who are our affiliates at the time of, or any time during the 90 days preceding, a sale, would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell within any three-month period only a number of securities that does not exceed the greater of either of the following:
| · | 1% of the number of shares then outstanding, which will equal approximately 250,000 shares immediately after this offering assuming no exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares, based on the number of shares outstanding as of the date of this prospectus; or | |
| · | the average weekly trading volume of our common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale. |
Provided, in each case, that we are subject to the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least 90 days before the sale. Such sales both by affiliates and by non-affiliates must also comply with the manner of sale, current public information and notice provisions of Rule 144.
Rule 701
Rule 701 under the Securities Act, as in effect on the date of this prospectus, permits resales of shares in reliance upon Rule 144 but without compliance with certain restrictions of Rule 144, including the holding period requirement. Most of our employees, executive officers or directors who purchased shares under a written compensatory plan or contract may be entitled to rely on the resale provisions of Rule 701, but all holders of Rule 701 shares are required to wait until 90 days after the date of this prospectus before selling their shares. However, substantially all Rule 701 shares are subject to lock-up agreements as described below and under “Underwriting” included elsewhere in this prospectus and will become eligible for sale upon the expiration of the restrictions set forth in those agreements.
Lock-up Agreements
In connection with this offering, certain of our current stockholders as of the date of this prospectus and all of our executive officers and directors have signed lock-up agreements which prevent them from selling any of our common stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for common stock for a period of 360 days from the date of the prospectus for this offering without the prior written consent of the Representative. The Representative may in its sole discretion and at any time without notice release some or all of the shares subject to the lock-up agreements prior to the expiration of the 360-day period. When determining whether or not to release shares from the lock-up agreements, the Representative will consider, among other factors, the stockholder’s reasons for requesting the release, the number of shares for which the release is being requested and market conditions at the time.

In connection with this offering, the underwriters may engage in stabilizing transactions, over-allotment transactions, syndicate-covering transactions, penalty bids and purchases to cover positions created by short sales.
Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase shares so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum, and are engaged in for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the shares while the offering is in progress.
Over-allotment transactions involve sales by the underwriters of shares in excess of the number of shares the underwriters are obligated to purchase. This creates a syndicate short position which may be either a covered short position or a naked short position. In a covered short position, the number of shares over-allotted by the underwriters is not greater than the number of shares that they may purchase in the over-allotment option. In a naked short position, the number of shares involved is greater than the number of shares in the over-allotment option. The underwriters may close out any short position by exercising their over-allotment option and/or purchasing shares in the open market.
Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of shares in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions. In determining the source of shares to close out the short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared with the price at which they may purchase shares through exercise of the over-allotment option. If the underwriters sell more shares than could be covered by exercise of the over-allotment option and, therefore, have a naked short position, the position can be closed out only by buying shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that after pricing there could be downward pressure on the price of the shares in the open market that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering.
Penalty bids permit the representative to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the shares originally sold by that syndicate member are purchased in stabilizing or syndicate covering transactions to cover syndicate short positions.
These stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our shares of common stock or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our shares of common stock. As a result, the price of our common stock in the open market may be higher than it would otherwise be in the absence of these transactions. Neither we nor the underwriters make any representation or prediction as to the effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of our common stock. These transactions may be effected on The Nasdaq Capital Market, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.
Other Relationships
Certain of the underwriters and their affiliates may in the future provide various investment banking, commercial banking and other financial services for us and our affiliates for which they may in the future receive customary fees.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders’, Board of Directors and Management
Wytec International, Inc
Opinion on the financial statements
We audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Wytec International, Inc (“the Company”) as of December 31, 2020 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for and the year ended December 31, 2020 and the related notes (collectively referred to as “financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020, and the results of its operations and cash flows for and the year ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note B to the financial statements, as of December 31, 2020, the Company had recurring losses from operations and a stockholder’s deficit. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis of Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2020.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Description of Business and Principles of Consolidation: Wytec International, Inc., a Nevada corporation incorporated on November 7, 2011 (“Wytec”), designs, manufactures, and installs carrier-class Wi-Fi Solutions in the 70 and 80 gigahertz licensed frequency program to local government, Mobile Service Operations, National Telecommunications Operators, and corporate enterprises. The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Wytec and its subsidiaries, Wylink, Inc., Wytec, LLC, and Capaciti Networks, Inc. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Wylink Inc., a Texas corporation and wholly owned subsidiary, was until January 2016 engaged in the sale of Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) registered links participating in the 70 and 80 gigahertz licensed frequency program (the “Program”). The Program allows qualified individuals to own a segment of the “backhaul” infrastructure of Wytec’s city-wide business deployment. Wylink Inc. has assigned all of its link related contract to Wytec and Wytec plans to wind up and dissolve Wylink Inc. in the near future. Wylink, Inc. was wound up and dissolved on or about September 22, 2020 and its assets and liabilities were assumed by Wytec.
Wytec, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, formed September 7, 2012 and previously managed by General Patent Corporation (“GPC”), owns five expired patents focused on high-capacity millimeter wave technology. On September 20, 2016, General Patent Corporation, the then Managing Partner of Wytec, LLC, assigned its partial ownership in the patents to Wytec, thereby terminating its role as Managing Partner. Wytec, LLC was wound up and dissolved in April 2020 and its assets and liabilities were assumed by Wytec.
Capaciti Networks, Inc. (“Capaciti”), a Texas corporation, was engaged in the sale of wired and wireless services, including products, wireless data cards, back-office platform and rate plans to their commercial and enterprise clients. Capaciti is in the process of winding up and dissolving. Its assets and liabilities will be assumed by Wytec. Capaciti was wound up and dissolved on or about August 20, 2020 and its assets and liabilities were assumed by Wytec.
Collectively, Wytec and its subsidiaries, are referred to as “we,” “our,” “us,” or the “Company.”
Basis of Accounting: The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company’s management in accordance with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and applied on a consistent basis.
Revenue and Cost Recognition. Revenue is recognized 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.
The Company earns revenues from contracts with customers for (i) sales and installation of cellular enhancement equipment and (ii) support agreements. Revenue from the sale and installation of cellular enhancement equipment is recognized either when the installation is completed or as the Company installs the cellular enhancement equipment, depending on the complexity of the system, such as the degree of customization of the equipment being installed, and the agreement with the customer. The less complex systems installed by the Company where management believes the installed equipment has an alternative use, due to the standard nature of the equipment sourced from our vendors that can be used in other projects, revenue from such contacts is recognized for completed installations upon customer acceptance. This assessment, at contract inception, is a management judgment based on the combination of equipment ordered, the services performed and whether or not material effort, within the context of the contract, would be required to rework the equipment for another project, and the term and terms of the contract with the customer. For example, such contracts are usually completed within 30-45 days. In larger more complex projects where the Company is creating an asset for the customer with no alternative use and has an enforceable right to payment for performance prior to contract completion, we recognize revenue utilizing the percentage of completion method. This method measures completion based on management’s estimate of total costs to complete each contract because management considers total costs to be the best available measure of progress on the contract.
| F-9 |
Support agreements entered into with customers are generally for a period of one year, during which the Company stands ready to provide service and support for installed systems at the customer site. Support agreement amounts are billed in advance to the customer, as agreed in the contract, and recorded as a contract liability. During the period, the Company provides unspecified firmware upgrades to installed client equipment as they are available. Management estimates that straight line recognition of revenue over the period of the support agreement contract is a faithful representation of the pattern of delivery on the Company’s obligation under these agreements.
Sales tax is recorded on a net basis and excluded from revenue.
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 in light of historical experience, adverse situations that may affect our customers' ability to repay, and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. Accounts receivable are determined to be past due based on how recently payments have been received and those considered uncollectible are charged against the allowance account in the period they are deemed uncollectible. No allowance for trade accounts receivable was determined to be necessary at December 31, 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.
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 accumulated deficit 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.
| F-10 |
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 common stock and $35,000 refunded to one link holder. During 2018, $400,000 of deferred revenue obligations were relieved in exchange for the issuance of common stock and $35,000 was refunded to the customer. 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 exchanges for 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.
The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with the requirements of FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company utilizes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurements, defined as follows:
Level 1: inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets
Level 2: inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.
Level 3: inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value
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.
| F-11 |
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 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. Significant estimates include depreciation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
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.
NOTE B – GOING CONCERN
The consolidated financial statements are prepared using U.S. generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplate the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred continuous losses from operations, has an accumulated deficit of $22,071,742 at December 31, 2020, and reported cash used by operations of $1,660,419 for the year ended December 31, 2020, all of which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In addition, the Company expects to have ongoing requirements for capital investment to implement its business plan. Finally, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern must be considered in light of the problems, expenses and complications frequently encountered by entrance into established markets and the competitive environment in which it operates.
Since inception, operations have primarily been funded through private equity financing. Management expects to continue to seek additional funding through private or public equity sources and will seek debt financing. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is ultimately dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash from operations to meet cash needs and/or to raise funds to finance ongoing operations and repay debt. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in these efforts. These factors, among others, indicate that the Company may be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should it be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE C – REVENUE AND ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with its accounting policy. The Company invoices customers and recognizes accounts receivable in an amount equivalent to which it has an unconditional right and expects to receive aligned with the agreement with the customer. The Company has contracted payment terms with its customer of net 15 days. The Company recognized revenue from performance obligations satisfied as of a point in time and over time as disaggregated in the table below.

The Company earns revenues from Cel-fi systems and network services. 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. The 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 totaled $594,756 in 2020 and $47,319 in 2019. Network service revenues are recognized each month as services are rendered.
Due to the Company billing service agreements in advance and recognizing revenue for service agreements over time as more fully described in its accounting policy the Company carries a contract liability balance proportional to the time remaining on each customer agreement. The Company issues invoices to customers for completed work as performance obligations satisfied as of a point in time are fulfilled and does not carry a contract asset balance for these performance obligations.

The Company’s contracts for support services are typically for terms of one year or less. The aggregate amount of contract performance obligation as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 that the Company expects to recognize over the next year is $25,905 and $0, respectively.
The Company is under no obligation and is not in the practice of providing customers with returns, rebates, discounts, or refunds and has not in an amount material to the financial statements. The Company, accordingly, does not recognize these obligations at the time of revenue recognition. The Company may receive consideration from customers who enter into support agreements in the future for incremental services provided to such customers. Those services are delivered as of a point in time when the customer requests the service. Future consideration as described is excluded from the transaction price calculated for support agreement performance obligations.
The Company has applied the practical expedient that permits the Company to recognize revenue without regard to significant financing components based on the Company’s expectations about the transfer of services and the receipt of payment from customers. The effect of this practical expedient is not material to the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE F – REPURCHASE AGREEMENT
In April 2020, we entered into a Repurchase and General Release Agreement with one shareholder pursuant to which we promised to pay the amount of $200,000 due on December 31, 2020. The agreement stated that the Company was to make $10,000 monthly installments with the balance payable on the maturity date. The agreement contains a feature that allows the Company to extend the maturity date of the amount payable to March 31, 2021 in the Company’s sole discretion, and if the Company exercises this option, the $10,000 monthly installments will continue until the extended maturity date on which date the remaining balance will be due. During the quarter, the Company extended the maturity date under the terms of the agreement to March 2021. The Company made payments in the amount of $80,000 during the period, however, the shareholder has not returned the shares so they may be canceled. As the shares had not been returned, the Company is not obligated per the agreement to pay any monies and the $80,000 was paid in good faith that the shares would be returned. The Company is pursuing action against the shareholder to get the shares returned or get the monies paid returned. Until such time, the $80,000 payments have been recorded as a reduction of additional paid in capital.

NOTE H – WARRANTS
The Company has common stock purchase warrants outstanding at December 31, 2020 to purchase 2,388,675 shares of common stock exercisable until various dates through December 31, 2022. The warrants are exercisable at the following amounts and rates: 2,000,000 of which are exercisable at an exercise price of $1.00 per share and 155,000 of which are exercisable at an exercise price of $5.00 per share, and 233,675 of which are exercisable at an exercise price of the greater of $5.00 per share or (ii) 85% of the average closing price of our common stock, as quoted on the public securities trading market on which our common stock is then traded with the highest volume, for ten (10) consecutive trading days immediately prior to the date of exercise.
To calculate the fair value of stock warrants at the date of grant, we use the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The volatility used is based on historical volatilities of selected peer group companies. Management estimates the average volatility considering current and future expected market conditions. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Each issuance is individually valued according to this procedure as of the date of issue with maturity dates between December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022, volatility estimates between 35% to 44% and risk-free rates 0.38% to 1.44% in the period.

NOTE I – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share. The common stock does not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. Accordingly, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote in any election of directors may elect all of the directors standing for election. Subject to preferential rights with respect to any series of preferred stock that may be issued, holders of the common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends as may be declared by the board of directors on the common stock out of funds legally available therefore and, in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of affairs, are entitled to share equally and ratably in all the remaining assets and funds.
Series A preferred stock is nonvoting capital stock but may be converted into voting common stock. Each share of series A preferred stock is convertible at the option of the holder at any time after the issuance into one share of common stock, subject to adjustment from time to time in the event (i) the Company subdivides or combines its outstanding common stock into a greater or smaller number of shares, including stock splits and stock dividends; or (ii) of a reorganization or reclassification of common stock, the consolidation or merger with or into another company, the sale, conveyance or other transfer of substantially all of the Company assets to another corporation or other similar event, whereby securities or other assets are issuable or distributable to the holders of the outstanding common stock upon the occurrence of any such event; or (iii) of the issuance to the holders of Company common stock of securities convertible into, or exchangeable for, such shares of common stock.
| F-16 |
Each outstanding share of series A preferred stock will automatically convert into one share of common stock (a) if the common stock commences public trading on the NASDAQ capital market or better, (b) if the series A preferred stockholder receives distributions from the net profits pool equal to the original purchase price paid for their registered links, or (c) five years after the date of issuance of the series A preferred stock. The Company does not have any other right to require a conversion of the series A preferred stock into common stock. The Company does not have the option to redeem outstanding shares of series A preferred stock. A holder of the series A preferred stock has no preemptive rights to subscribe for any additional shares of any class of stock or for any issue of bonds, notes or other securities convertible into any class of stock. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up whether voluntary or otherwise, after payment of debts and other liabilities, the holders of the series A preferred stock will be entitled to receive from the remaining net assets, before any distribution to the holders of the common stock, the amount of $1.50 per share. After payment of the liquidation preference to the holders of series A preferred stock and payment of any other distributions that may be required with respect to any other series of preferred stock, the remaining assets, if any, will be distributed ratably to the holders of the common stock and the holders of the series A preferred stock on an as-if converted basis.
The series B preferred stock is voting capital stock. The holders of the series B preferred stock will vote on an as-converted basis with the common stock on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders. The holders of the series B preferred stock are not entitled to any dividends unless and until the series B preferred stock is converted into common stock. Each share of series B preferred stock is convertible at the option of the holder at any time after issuance into one share of common stock, subject to adjustment from time to time in the event (i) the Company subdivides or combines into outstanding common stock into a greater or smaller number of shares, including stock splits and stock dividends; or (ii) of a reorganization or reclassification of common stock, the consolidation or merger with or into another company, the sale, conveyance or other transfer of substantially all of the Company assets to another corporation or other similar event, whereby securities or other assets are issuable or distributable to the holders of the outstanding common stock upon the occurrence of any such event; or (iii) of the issuance by us to the holders of common stock of securities convertible into, or exchangeable for, such shares of common stock.
Each outstanding share of series B preferred stock will automatically convert into one share of common stock at a conversion rate equal to the lesser of $3.00 per share or 75% of the average closing price of the Company’s common stock as quoted on the public securities trading market on which our common stock is then traded with the highest volume, for ten (10) consecutive trading days immediately after the first day of public trading of common stock if common stock commences public trading on the NASDAQ capital market or better, but in any event no less than $2.50 per share or at $3.00 per share five years after the date of issuance of the series B preferred stock. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up whether voluntary or otherwise, after payment of debts and other liabilities, the holders of the series B preferred stock will be entitled to receive from the remaining net assets, before any distribution to the holders of the common stock, and pari pasu with the payment of a liquidation preference of $1.50 per share to the holders of the series A preferred stock, the amount of $3.00 per share. After payment of the liquidation preference to the holders of the series A preferred stock and the series B preferred stock, and payment of any other distribution that may be required with respect to any other series of preferred stock, the remaining assets, if any, will be distributed ratably to the holders of the common stock, the holders of the series A preferred stock, and the holders of the series B preferred stock on an as-if converted basis.
The series C preferred stock is voting capital stock. For so long as any shares of the series C preferred stock remain issued and outstanding, the holders thereof, voting separately as a class, shall have the right, on or after July 20, 2016, to vote in an amount equal to 51% of the total vote (representing a super majority voting power) with respect to all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders of Wytec. Such vote shall be determined by the holder(s) of a majority of the then issued and outstanding shares of series C preferred stock. For example, if there are 10,000 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding at the time of such shareholder vote, the holders of the series C preferred stock, voting separately as a class, will have the right to vote an aggregate of 10,408 shares, out of a total number of 20,408 shares voting.
Additionally, the Company is prohibited from adopting any amendments to the Company’s bylaws or articles of incorporation, as amended, making any changes to the certificate of designation establishing the series C preferred stock, or effecting any reclassification of the series C preferred stock, without the affirmative vote of at least 66-2/3% of the outstanding shares of series C preferred stock. The Company may, however, by any means authorized by law and without any vote of the holders of shares of series C preferred stock, make technical, corrective, administrative or similar changes to such certificate of designation that do not, individually or in the aggregate, adversely affect the rights or preferences of the holders of shares of series C preferred stock.
| F-17 |
The holders of the series C preferred stock are not entitled to any dividends. Holders of the series C preferred stock have no conversion rights. The shares of the series C preferred stock shall be automatically redeemed by us at their par value on the first to occur of the following: (i) on the date that Mr. Gray ceases, for any reason, to serve as officer, director or consultant of Wytec, or (ii) on the date that our shares of common stock first trade on any national securities exchange provided that the listing rules of any such exchange prohibit preferential voting rights of a class of securities of Wytec, or listing on any such national securities exchange is conditioned upon the elimination of the preferential voting rights of the series C preferred stock set forth in the certificate of designation. A holder of the series C preferred stock has no preemptive rights to subscribe for any additional shares of any class of stock of Wytec or for any issue of bonds, notes or other securities convertible into any class of stock of Wytec. The holders of the Series C Preferred Stock are not entitled to any liquidation preference.

NOTE J – INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows at:
| December 31, | December 31, | |||||||
| 2020 | 2019 | |||||||
| Deferred tax assets: | ||||||||
| Net operating loss carry forwards | $ | 4,305,806 | $ | 3,835,214 | ||||
| Less: Valuation allowance | (4,305,806 | ) | (3,835,214 | ) | ||||
| Net deferred tax assets | $ | – | $ | – | ||||
The Company has net operating loss carryforwards for tax purposes of approximately $20.5 million for the year 2020 that begin to expire in the year 2032. Management has reviewed its net deferred asset position, and due to the history of operating losses has determined that the application of a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax asset at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 is warranted. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had not accrued any interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. Tax returns filed for the years 2017 through 2020 are open for examination by taxing authorities.
| F-19 |
The Company does not have a liability for state taxes at either December 31, 2020 or December 31, 2019.
The federal income tax benefit expected by the application of the corporate income tax rates to pre-tax net loss differs from the actual benefit recognized due to the valuation allowance recorded for 2020 and 2019.
The U.S. Statutory Tax Rate is 21%. See below table for the effective tax rate reconciliation:

NOTE O - Correction of Previously Issued Financial Statements
As part of its internal review, after the financial statements were issued, certain items were discovered, which pursuant to GAAP standards, required adjusting entries for proper financial presentation. The identified items related to 2020 and other items dating back to 2019. These items included: 1) Understatement of 2020 expenses, that were recorded in 2019, in the amount of $49,176 2) Understatement of 2019 accounts receivable and revenue by $17,041 due to billing not timely identified; and 3) Unrecorded gross up of fixed assets and corresponding loans on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2020, which also resulted in a misclassification of costs on the Consolidated Statement of Operations by overstating Selling, General and Administrative expense and understating Depreciation and Amortization and Other Expense (for associated interest expense). The results of these items that related to 2019 were deemed immaterial with respects to the consolidated financial statements of 2019, and, therefore, were updated in the consolidated financial statements of 2020.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE A – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation: The interim consolidated financial statements included herein, presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and footnotes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on June 25, 2021. The results for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ended December 31, 2021. These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein.
Description of Business: Wytec International, Inc. (“Wytec,” “we,” “our,” “us,” or the “Company”), a Nevada corporation, designs, manufactures, and installs carrier-class Wi-Fi Solutions in the 70 and 80 gigahertz licensed frequency program to local government, Mobile Service Operations, National Telecommunications Operators, and corporate enterprises. Wytec is also involved in the sale of wired and wireless services, including products, wireless data cards, back-office platform and rate plans to their commercial and enterprise clients and was previously engaged in the sale of Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) registered links participating in the 70 and 80 gigahertz licensed frequency program (the “Program”). The Program allows qualified individuals to own a segment of the “backhaul” infrastructure of Wytec’s city-wide business deployment.
On or about August 20, 2020, Capaciti Networks, Inc., our former subsidiary, was dissolved and on or about September 22, 2020, Wylink, Inc., our former subsidiary, was dissolved. No consideration was exchanged in either transaction. As a result of the dissolutions, we acquired the net assets and liabilities of both Wylink, Inc, and Capaciti Networks, Inc. and their operations continue as part of the Company.
Basis of Accounting: The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company’s management in accordance with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and applied on a consistent basis.
Revenue and Cost Recognition. Revenue is recognized 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.
The Company earns revenues from contracts with customers for (i) sales and installation of cellular enhancement equipment and (ii) support agreements. Revenue from the sale and installation of cellular enhancement equipment is recognized either when the installation is completed or as the Company installs the cellular enhancement equipment, depending on the complexity of the system, such as the degree of customization of the equipment being installed, and the agreement with the customer. The less complex systems installed by the Company where management believes the installed equipment has an alternative use, due to the standard nature of the equipment sourced from our vendors that can be used in other projects, revenue from such contacts is recognized for completed installations upon customer acceptance. This assessment, at contract inception, is a management judgment based on the combination of equipment ordered, the services performed and whether or not material effort, within the context of the contract, would be required to rework the equipment for another project, and the term and terms of the contract with the customer. For example, such contracts are usually completed within 30-45 days. In larger more complex projects where the Company is creating an asset for the customer with no alternative use and has an enforceable right to payment for performance prior to contract completion, we recognize revenue utilizing the percentage of completion method. This method measures completion based on management’s estimate of total costs to complete each contract because management considers total costs to be the best available measure of progress on the contract.
| F-30 |
Support agreements entered into with customers are generally for a period of one year, during which the Company stands ready to provide service and support for installed systems at the customer site. Support agreement amounts are billed in advance to the customer, as agreed in the contract, and recorded as a contract liability. During the period, the Company provides unspecified firmware upgrades to installed client equipment as they are available. Management estimates that straight line recognition of revenue over the period of the support agreement contract is a faithful representation of the pattern of delivery on the Company’s obligation under these agreements.
Sales tax is recorded on a net basis and excluded from revenue.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts: The allowance for doubtful accounts is evaluated on a regular basis through periodic reviews of the collectability of the receivables in light of historical experience, adverse situations that may affect our customers' ability to repay, and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. Accounts receivable are determined to be past due based on how recently payments have been received and those considered uncollectible are charged against the allowance account in the period they are deemed uncollectible. NaN allowance for trade accounts receivable was determined to be necessary at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
Operating Leases Right-of-use Assets and Operating Lease Obligations: 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.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of the 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
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.
NOTE B – 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 $23,515,665 at September 30, 2021, and have reported negative cash flows from operations. 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. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
| F-31 |
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. Management expects to continue to seek additional funding through private or public equity sources and will seek debt financing.
NOTE C – REVENUE AND ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with its accounting policy. The Company invoices customers and recognizes accounts receivable in an amount equivalent to which it has an unconditional right and expects to receive aligned with the agreement with the customer. The Company has contracted payment terms with its customer of net 15 days. The Company recognized revenue from performance obligations satisfied as of a point in time and over time as disaggregated in the table below.
Timing of Revenue Recognition
| Disaggregation of Revenue | ||||||||||||||||
| For the Three Months Ended | For the Nine Months Ended | |||||||||||||||
| September 30, | September 30, | |||||||||||||||
| 2021 | 2020 | 2021 | �� | 2020 | ||||||||||||
| Point in Time | $ | 69,988 | $ | 111,557 | $ | 366,773 | $ | 444,322 | ||||||||
| Over Time | 8,011 | 68 | 25,602 | 68 | ||||||||||||
| $ | 77,999 | $ | 111,625 | $ | 392,375 | $ | 444,390 | |||||||||
Due to the Company billing service agreements in advance and recognizing revenue for service agreements over time as more fully described in its accounting policy the Company carries a contract liability balance proportional to the time remaining on each customer agreement. The Company issues invoices to customers for completed work as performance obligations satisfied as of a point in time are fulfilled and does not carry a contract asset balance for these performance obligations.
Contract Assets and Liabilities
| Contract Assets and Liabilities | ||||||||
| September 30, | December 31, | |||||||
| 2021 | 2020 | |||||||
| Contract Liability | $ | (8,737 | ) | $ | (25,905 | ) | ||
| $ | (8,737 | ) | $ | (25,905 | ) | |||
The Company’s contracts for support services are typically for terms of one year or less. The aggregate amount of contract performance obligation as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 that the Company expects to recognize over the next year is $8,737 and $25,905, respectively.
The Company is under no obligation and is not in the practice of providing customers with returns, rebates, discounts, or refunds and has not in an amount material to the financial statements. The Company, accordingly, does not recognize these obligations at the time of revenue recognition. The Company may receive consideration from customers who enter into support agreements in the future for incremental services provided to such customers. Those services are delivered as of a point in time when the customer requests the service. Future consideration as described is excluded from the transaction price calculated for support agreement performance obligations.
| F-32 |
The Company has applied the practical expedient that permits the Company to recognize revenue without regard to significant financing components based on the Company’s expectations about the transfer of services and the receipt of payment from customers. The effect of this practical expedient is not material to the Company’s financial statements.
NOTE D – PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment consist of the following:
| Schedule of Property and Equipment | ||||||||
| September 30, | December 31, | |||||||
| 2021 | 2020 | |||||||

| $ | 975,833 | $ | 586,952 | |||||
In February 2020, we issued a note in the amount of $625,000 bearing simple interest at a rate of 7% per annum to one shareholder due August, 2021. The note contains a feature that allows the Company to extend the maturity date up to six months, twice, in the Company’s sole discretion. This note was issued along with common stock purchase warrants that were determined to have a fair market value of $80,053 on the issuance date, which was recorded as a debt discount and amortized over the term of the notes, with $9,910 amortized in the current quarter and reported in the income statement as interest expense. In September of 2021, the note was extended to a new maturity date of February 13, 2022.
In March 2021, we received a loan pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) in the amount of $160,073. The loan contains a feature pursuant to which the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) will forgive the balance of the loan under statutory authority and conditions set forth in the CARES Act. This loan was fully forgiven in September 2021.

The maturity date of the note may be extended by an additional six months in the sole discretion of the Company up to two times.
In August and September 2021, a shareholder loaned a total of $150,000, to the Company under two separate promissory notes in the amounts of $100,000, and $50,000, respectively. The notes bear simple interest at a rate of 7% per annum with due dates of February 10, 2023 and March 30, 2023, respectively. Each promissory note may be extended by an additional six months in the sole discretion of the Company up to two times.

| Total debt | $ | 966,533 | ||
NOTE F – REPURCHASE AGREEMENT
In April 2020, we entered into a Repurchase and General Release Agreement (the “Agreement”) with one shareholder pursuant to which we promised to pay the amount of $200,000 due on December 31, 2020, in consideration for the return to us of 40,000 shares of outstanding common stock and 40,000 shares of outstanding Series B Preferred Stock previously purchased and currently held by the shareholder. The Agreement stated that the Company was to make $10,000 monthly installments with the balance payable on the maturity date. The Agreement contains a feature that allows the Company to extend the maturity date of the amount payable to March 31, 2021 in the Company’s sole discretion, and if the Company exercises this option, the $10,000 monthly installments will continue until the extended maturity date on which date the remaining balance will be due. In September 2020, the Company extended the maturity date under the terms of the Agreement to March 31,2021. The Company made payments in the amount of $80,000 in good faith during 2020, however, the shareholder has not returned any of the shares that we paid for so that they may be canceled as contemplated in the Agreement. As the shares had not been returned, the Company is not obligated per the Agreement to pay any monies. The Company is pursuing action against the shareholder to have the shares returned or have the monies paid returned. Until such time, the $80,000 payments have been recorded as a reduction of additional paid in capital.
NOTE G – LEASES
The Company leases facilities and office equipment under various operating leases, which generally are expected to be renewed or replaced by other leases. For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, operating lease expense totaled $83,888 and $115,363, respectively. For the three-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, operating lease expense totaled $25,710 and $24,474, respectively.

The Company has common stock purchase warrants outstanding at September 30, 2021 to purchase 2,491,074 shares of common stock exercisable until various dates through December 31, 2022. The warrants are exercisable at the following amounts and rates: of which are exercisable at an exercise price of $ per share, of which are exercisable at an exercise price of $ per share, and of which are exercisable at an exercise price of the greater of $ per share or (ii) 85% of the average closing price of our common stock, as quoted on the public securities trading market on which our common stock is then traded with the highest volume, for ten (10) consecutive trading days immediately prior to the date of exercise.
To calculate the fair value of stock warrants at the date of grant, we use the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The volatility used is based on historical volatilities of selected peer group companies. Management estimates the average volatility considering current and future expected market conditions. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Each issuance is individually valued according to this procedure as of the date of issue with maturity dates between December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022, volatility estimates between 35% to 60% and risk-free rates 0.05% to 0.1% in the period.

NOTE I – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share. The common stock does not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. Accordingly, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote in any election of directors may elect all of the directors standing for election. Subject to preferential rights with respect to any series of preferred stock that may be issued, holders of the common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends as may be declared by the board of directors on the common stock out of funds legally available therefore and, in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of affairs, are entitled to share equally and ratably in all the remaining assets and funds.
Series A preferred stock is nonvoting capital stock but may be converted into voting common stock. Each share of series A preferred stock is convertible at the option of the holder at any time after the issuance into one share of common stock, subject to adjustment from time to time in the event (i) the Company subdivides or combines its outstanding common stock into a greater or smaller number of shares, including stock splits and stock dividends; or (ii) of a reorganization or reclassification of common stock, the consolidation or merger with or into another company, the sale, conveyance or other transfer of substantially all of the Company assets to another corporation or other similar event, whereby securities or other assets are issuable or distributable to the holders of the outstanding common stock upon the occurrence of any such event; or (iii) of the issuance to the holders of Company common stock of securities convertible into, or exchangeable for, such shares of common stock.
| F-36 |
Each outstanding share of series A preferred stock will automatically convert into one share of common stock (a) if the common stock commences public trading on the NASDAQ capital market or better, (b) if the series A preferred stockholder receives distributions from the net profits pool equal to the original purchase price paid for their registered links, or (c) five years after the date of issuance of the series A preferred stock. The Company does not have any other right to require a conversion of the series A preferred stock into common stock. The Company does not have the option to redeem outstanding shares of series A preferred stock. A holder of the series A preferred stock has no preemptive rights to subscribe for any additional shares of any class of stock or for any issue of bonds, notes or other securities convertible into any class of stock. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up whether voluntary or otherwise, after payment of debts and other liabilities, the holders of the series A preferred stock will be entitled to receive from the remaining net assets, before any distribution to the holders of the common stock, the amount of $1.50 per share. After payment of the liquidation preference to the holders of series A preferred stock and payment of any other distributions that may be required with respect to any other series of preferred stock, the remaining assets, if any, will be distributed ratably to the holders of the common stock and the holders of the series A preferred stock on an as-if converted basis.
The series B preferred stock is voting capital stock. The holders of the series B preferred stock will vote on an as-converted basis with the common stock on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders. The holders of the series B preferred stock are not entitled to any dividends unless and until the series B preferred stock is converted into common stock. Each share of series B preferred stock is convertible at the option of the holder at any time after issuance into one share of common stock, subject to adjustment from time to time in the event (i) the Company subdivides or combines into outstanding common stock into a greater or smaller number of shares, including stock splits and stock dividends; or (ii) of a reorganization or reclassification of common stock, the consolidation or merger with or into another company, the sale, conveyance or other transfer of substantially all of the Company assets to another corporation or other similar event, whereby securities or other assets are issuable or distributable to the holders of the outstanding common stock upon the occurrence of any such event; or (iii) of the issuance by us to the holders of common stock of securities convertible into, or exchangeable for, such shares of common stock.
Each outstanding share of series B preferred stock will automatically convert into one share of common stock at a conversion rate equal to the lesser of $3.00 per share or 75% of the average closing price of the Company’s common stock as quoted on the public securities trading market on which our common stock is then traded with the highest volume, for ten (10) consecutive trading days immediately after the first day of public trading of common stock if common stock commences public trading on the NASDAQ capital market or better, but in any event no less than $2.50 per share or at $3.00 per share five years after the date of issuance of the series B preferred stock. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up whether voluntary or otherwise, after payment of debts and other liabilities, the holders of the series B preferred stock will be entitled to receive from the remaining net assets, before any distribution to the holders of the common stock, and pari pasu with the payment of a liquidation preference of $1.50 per share to the holders of the series A preferred stock, the amount of $3.00 per share. After payment of the liquidation preference to the holders of the series A preferred stock and the series B preferred stock, and payment of any other distribution that may be required with respect to any other series of preferred stock, the remaining assets, if any, will be distributed ratably to the holders of the common stock, the holders of the series A preferred stock, and the holders of the series B preferred stock on an as-if converted basis.
The series C preferred stock is voting capital stock. For so long as any shares of the series C preferred stock remain issued and outstanding, the holders thereof, voting separately as a class, shall have the right, on or after July 20, 2016, to vote in an amount equal to 51% of the total vote (representing a super majority voting power) with respect to all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders of Wytec. Such vote shall be determined by the holder(s) of a majority of the then issued and outstanding shares of series C preferred stock. For example, if there are 10,000 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding at the time of such shareholder vote, the holders of the series C preferred stock, voting separately as a class, will have the right to vote an aggregate of 10,408 shares, out of a total number of 20,408 shares voting.
Additionally, the Company is prohibited from adopting any amendments to the Company’s bylaws or articles of incorporation, as amended, making any changes to the certificate of designation establishing the series C preferred stock, or effecting any reclassification of the series C preferred stock, without the affirmative vote of at least 66-2/3% of the outstanding shares of series C preferred stock. The Company may, however, by any means authorized by law and without any vote of the holders of shares of series C preferred stock, make technical, corrective, administrative or similar changes to such certificate of designation that do not, individually or in the aggregate, adversely affect the rights or preferences of the holders of shares of series C preferred stock.
| F-37 |
The holders of the series C preferred stock are not entitled to any dividends. Holders of the series C preferred stock have no conversion rights. The shares of the series C preferred stock shall be automatically redeemed by us at their par value on the first to occur of the following: (i) on the date that Mr. Gray ceases, for any reason, to serve as officer, director or consultant of Wytec, or (ii) on the date that our shares of common stock first trade on any national securities exchange provided that the listing rules of any such exchange prohibit preferential voting rights of a class of securities of Wytec, or listing on any such national securities exchange is conditioned upon the elimination of the preferential voting rights of the series C preferred stock set forth in the certificate of designation. A holder of the series C preferred stock has no preemptive rights to subscribe for any additional shares of any class of stock of Wytec or for any issue of bonds, notes or other securities convertible into any class of stock of Wytec. The holders of the Series C preferred stock are not entitled to any liquidation preference.

NOTE L – PRIOR PERIOD MISSTATEMENTS
As part of its internal review prior to submitting its financial statements for the 3-month period ended March 31, 2021, the Company’s Management identified certain items, which pursuant to GAAP standards, required adjusting entries for proper financial presentation. The identified items related to prior periods dating back to 2019, and included: 1) Understatement of 2020 expenses, that related to 2019, in the amount of $49,174 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 2) Understatement of 2019 accounts receivable and revenue by $17,041 due to billing not timely identified; and 3) Unrecorded gross up of fixed assets and corresponding loans on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2020, which also resulted in a misclassification of costs on the Consolidated Statement of Operations by overstating Selling, General and Administrative expense and understating Depreciation and Amortization and Other Expense (for associated interest expense).

ITEM 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Under Nevada General Corporation Law and our articles of incorporation, our directors will have no personal liability to us or our stockholders for monetary damages incurred as the result of the breach or alleged breach by a director of his “duty of care.” This provision does not apply to the directors’ (i) acts or omissions that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing and culpable violation of law, (ii) acts or omissions that a director believes to be contrary to the best interests of the corporation or its shareholders or that involve the absence of good faith on the part of the director, (iii) approval of any transaction from which a director derives an improper personal benefit, (iv) acts or omissions that show a reckless disregard for the director’s duty to the corporation or its shareholders in circumstances in which the director was aware, or should have been aware, in the ordinary course of performing a director’s duties, of a risk of serious injury to the corporation or its shareholders, (v) acts or omissions that constituted an unexcused pattern of inattention that amounts to an abdication of the director’s duty to the corporation or its shareholders, or (vi) approval of an unlawful dividend, distribution, stock repurchase or redemption. This provision would generally absolve directors of personal liability for negligence in the performance of duties, including gross negligence.
The effect of this provision in our articles of incorporation is to eliminate the rights of Wytec and our stockholders (through stockholder’s derivative suits on behalf of Wytec) to recover monetary damages against a director for breach of his fiduciary duty of care as a director (including breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior) except in the situations described in clauses (i) through (vi) above. This provision does not limit nor eliminate the rights of Wytec or any stockholder to seek non-monetary relief such as an injunction or rescission in the event of a breach of a director’s duty of care. In addition, our Articles of Incorporation provide that if Nevada law is amended to authorize the future elimination or limitation of the liability of a director, then the liability of the directors will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the law, as amended. Nevada General Corporation Law grants corporations the right to indemnify their directors, officers, employees and agents in accordance with applicable law. Our bylaws provide for indemnification of such persons to the full extent allowable under applicable law. These provisions will not alter the liability of the directors under federal securities laws.
| II-1 |
We intend to enter into agreements to indemnify our directors and officers, in addition to the indemnification provided for in our bylaws. These agreements, among other things, indemnify our directors and officers for certain expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, and settlement amounts incurred by any such person in any action or proceeding, including any action by or in the right of Wytec, arising out of such person’s services as a director or officer of Wytec, any subsidiary of Wytec or any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at the request of Wytec. We believe that these provisions and agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified directors and officers.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling Wytec pursuant to the foregoing provisions, Wytec has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

ITEM 17. Undertakings.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriters at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
The registrant hereby further undertakes that:
(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this Registration Statement as of the time it was declared effective.
(2) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
