DARKPULSE, INC.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
UNAUDITED
NOTE 1 – BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION
Organization and Description
of Business
DarkPulse, Inc. (“DPI” or “Company”) is a technology-security
company incorporated in 1989 as Klever Marketing, Inc. (“Klever”). Its’ wholly- owned subsidiary, DarkPulse Technologies
Inc. (“DPTI”), originally started as a technology spinout from the University of New Brunswick, Fredericton, Canada. The Company’s
security and monitoring systems will initially be delivered in applications for border security, pipelines, the oil and gas industry and
mine safety. Current uses of fiber optic distributed sensor technology have been limited to quasi-static, long-term structural health
monitoring due to the time required to obtain the data and its poor precision. The Company’s patented BOTDA dark-pulse sensor technology
allows for the monitoring of highly dynamic environments due to its greater resolution and accuracy.
The Company’s subsidiaries consist of: Terradata Unmanned PLLC,
based in Florida; DarkPulse UK Ltd, based in the United Kingdom; Optilan India Pvt Ltd, based in Navi-Mumbai; Optilan Communications &
Security Systems Ltd, based in Ankara Turkey; and DarkPulse Technologies – FZCO, based in Dubai, UAE.
Optilan India Pvt Ltd, operating in India, provides project engineering
& design, system provisioning and contract bid services for the Company globally. Optilan Communications & Security Systems Ltd,
provides project engineering & design, system provisioning and contract bid services for the Company throughout Europe. DarkPulse
Technologies – FZCO will provide science and technology consultancy, building maintenance and model makers and information technology
(“IT”) infrastructure.
DarkPulse Manufacturing Inc., based in Arizona (formerly TJM Electronics
West, Inc.), is no longer providing products or services as a result of the Company’s relationship with Sanmina Corporation who
is handling both the design and manufacturing of the Company’s patented hardware.
Remote Intelligence, LLC and Wildlife Specialists, LLC are no longer
providing services as a result of redundant service offerings that are now being offered by TerraData Unmanned.
NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied
in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements are as follows:
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements
of the Company include the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated
in consolidation.
The Company evaluates its relationships with other entities to identify
whether they are variable interest entities (“VIE”) as defined by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”), and to assess whether it is the
primary beneficiary of such entities. If the determination is made that the Company is the primary beneficiary, then that entity is consolidated.
8
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity
with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the 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. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these financial statements include, but are not limited to, assumptions
used to calculate derivative liabilities, revenue recognition and impairment of long-lived assets. The Company bases its estimates on
historical experience, known trends and other market-specific or other relevant factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances.
On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates when there are changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Changes in estimates
are recorded in the period in which they become known. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity
of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. The Company places its cash with high credit quality financial institutions.
The Company’s account at this institution is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000.
To reduce its risk associated with the failure of such a financial institution, the Company evaluates at least annually the rating of
the financial institution in which it holds deposits. Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable and contract assets include amounts billed to customers
under the terms and provisions of the contracts. Most billings are determined based on contractual terms. As is common practice in the
industry, the Company classifies all accounts receivable and contract assets, including retainage, as current assets. The contracting
cycle for certain long-term contracts may extend beyond one year, and accordingly, collection of retainage on those contracts may extend
beyond one year. Contract assets include amounts billed to customers under retention provisions in construction contracts. Such provisions
are standard in the Company’s industry and usually allow for a portion of progress billings on the contract price, typically 5-10%,
to be withheld by the customer until after the Company has completed work on the project. Billings for such retention balances at each
balance sheet date are finalized and collected after project completion. Generally, unbilled amounts will be billed and collected within
one year. The Company determined that there are no material amounts due past one year and no material amounts billed but not expected
to be collected within one year. Also, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13 in January 2023 and the adoption did not have a material impact
on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Each month, the Company reviews its receivables on a customer-by-customer
basis and evaluates whether an allowance for doubtful accounts is necessary based on any known or perceived collection issues. Any balances
that are eventually deemed uncollectible are written off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the
potential for recovery is considered remote. As of September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company determined that the allowance for doubtful
accounts was $ 0 and $ 0 , respectively.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company’s reporting currency is US Dollars. The accounts
of one of the Company’s subsidiaries is maintained using the appropriate local currency, British Pound (“GBP”) as the
functional currency, as well as the Turkish lira, (“TL”), United Arab Emirates Dirham (“AED”), and Indian Rupee
(“INR”). The accounts of one of the Company’s subsidiaries are maintained using the appropriate local currency, Canadian
Dollar (“CAD”) as the functional currency. All assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. Dollars at balance sheet date,
shareholders' equity is translated at historical rates and revenue, and expense accounts are translated at the average exchange rate for
the year or the reporting period. The translation adjustments are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity, captioned
as accumulated other comprehensive (loss) gain. Transaction gains and losses arising from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated
in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the statements of operations as foreign currency exchange variance.
The relevant translation rates are as follows: for the nine months
ended September 30, 2025 a closing rate at 1.3447 US$: GBP, average rate at 1.2064 US$:GBP, a closing rate of .7185 US$:CAD a closing
rate of .01126 INR:USD, a closing rate of TRY:USD .02405 and a closing rate of .2723 UAE :USD.
The relevant translation rates are as follows: for the nine months
ended September 30, 2024 a closing rate at 1.35229 US$: GBP, a closing rate at CAD$:USD, $ 0.7395 , $ 0.01193 INR$:USD and $ 0.02936 TL$:USD.
9
Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill
The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions
of ASC 360-10-35, Property, Plant and Equipment, Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets. This accounting standard requires that long-lived
assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net
cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment
charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.
Indefinite-lived intangible assets established in connection with business
combinations consist of the tradename. The impairment test for identifiable indefinite-lived intangible assets consists of a comparison
of the estimated fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds its fair value, an impairment
loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess.
The Company accounts for goodwill and intangible assets in accordance
with ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an entity over the estimated
fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. ASC 350 requires that goodwill and other intangibles with indefinite lives
be tested for impairment annually or on an interim basis if events or circumstances indicate that the fair value of an asset has decreased
below its carrying value. This guidance simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment by removing Step 2 of the goodwill impairment
test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. The quantitative impairment test calculates any goodwill impairment as
the difference between the carrying amount of a reporting unit and its fair value, but not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill.
It is our practice, at a minimum, to perform a qualitative or quantitative goodwill impairment test in the fourth quarter every year.
The Company has one reporting unit it evaluates during its impairment test.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are carried at historical cost less accumulated
depreciation. Depreciation is based on the estimated service lives of the depreciable assets and is calculated using the straight-line
method. Expenditures that increase the value or productive capacity of assets are capitalized. Fully depreciated assets are retained in
the property and equipment, and accumulated depreciation accounts until they are removed from service. When property and equipment are
retired, sold or otherwise disposed of, the asset’s carrying amount and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts
and any gain or loss is included in operations. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
Schedule of estimated useful lives of property and equipment
The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are generally as follows:
Years
Office furniture and fixtures
4
Plant and equipment
4 - 8
Leasehold Improvements
10
Motor vehicles
3
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenues are generated primarily from the sale
of our services, which consist primarily of advanced technology solutions for integrated communications and security systems, as well
as habitat management. The Company’s sales of products are primarily generated from our TJM subsidiaries. Sales of products and
services are separate from one another. At contract inception, we assess the goods and services promised in the contract with customers
and identify a performance obligation for each. To determine the performance obligation, we consider all products and services promised
in the contract regardless of whether they are explicitly stated or implied by customary business practices. The timing of satisfaction
of the performance obligation is not subject to significant judgment. We measure revenue as the amount of consideration expected to be
received in exchange for transferring goods and services. We recognize service revenues as the performance obligations are met, which
is generally as milestones are satisfied over time. We generally recognize product revenues at the time of shipment, provided that all
other revenue recognition criteria have been met.
10
The Company recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of
promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services.
To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, we perform the following
five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the
transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when
(or as) we satisfy a performance obligation. The five-step model is applied to contracts when it is probable that we will collect the
consideration we are entitled to in exchange for the goods or services transferred to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract
is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, we assess the goods or services promised within each contract and determine those that
are performance obligations and assess whether each promised good or service is distinct. We then recognize revenue in the amount of the
transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.
The Company considers each individual sale of service contract to be
its own performance obligation. Services in the contract are highly interdependent and interrelated, and the successful completion of
each milestone is necessary for the overall success of the contract. Therefore, each milestone is not separately identifiable from other
promises in the contract, and not distinct and ultimately not individual performance obligations.
The Company records revenue over time using the input measure as it
is the most faithful depiction of an entity’s performance because it directly measures the value of the goods and services transferred
to the customer. The Company utilizes the Right to Invoice for these contracts, as the pricing structure is based on various milestones
that are specified in the contract. These milestones include Construction Phase Plan, Start of the construction phase, installation phase,
site surveys, fiber splicing, recoveries, and closeouts. There are specified payments associated with these milestones in the contract,
and the value allocated is commensurate with work done. In the event that there are advances such as upfront retainers and not based on
the value, those are recorded as contract liabilities.
In accordance with ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers
(Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedient, which is to (1) clarify the objective of the collectability criterion
for applying paragraph 606-10-25-7; (2) permit an entity to exclude amounts collected from customers for all sales (and other similar)
taxes from the transaction price; (3) specify that the measurement date for noncash consideration is contract inception; (4) provide a
practical expedient that permits an entity to reflect the aggregate effect of all modifications that occur before the beginning of the
earliest period presented when identifying the satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations, determining the transaction price, and
allocating the transaction price to the satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations; (5) clarify that a completed contract for purposes
of transition is a contract for which all (or substantially all) of the revenue was recognized under legacy GAAP before the date of initial
application, and (6) clarify that an entity that retrospectively applies the guidance in Topic 606 to each prior reporting period is not
required to disclose the effect of the accounting change for the period of adoption. The amendments of this ASU are effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. There was no impact as a result of adopting this
ASU on the financial statements and related disclosures. Based on the terms and conditions of the product arrangements, the Company believes
that its products and services can be accounted for separately as its products and services have value to the Company’s customers
on a stand-alone basis. When a transaction involves more than one product or service, revenue is allocated to each deliverable based on
its relative fair value; otherwise, revenue is recognized as products are delivered or as services are provided over the term of the customer
contract.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues consists primarily of materials and overhead costs
incurred internally and amounts incurred to contract manufacturers to produce our products, airtime and other implementation costs incurred
to install our products and train customer personnel, and customer service and third- party original equipment manufacturer costs to provide
continuing support to our customers. Cost of revenues also includes direct labor attributable to revenue service arrangements.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations
of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. The Company has not experienced any losses related to its cash and does
not believe that it is subject to unusual credit risk beyond the normal credit risk associated with commercial banking relationships.
As of September 30, 2025, one customer accounted for 39 % of gross accounts receivable.
11
Leases
The Company accounts for its leases under ASC 842, Leases. Under this
guidance, arrangements meeting the definition of a lease are classified as operating or financing leases and are recorded on the consolidated
balance sheet as both a right of use asset and lease liability, calculated by discounting fixed lease payments over the lease term at
the rate implicit in the lease or the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease liabilities are increased by interest and reduced
by payments each period, and the right of use asset is amortized over the lease term. For operating leases, interest on the lease liability
and the amortization of the right of use asset result in straight-line rent expense over the lease term. For finance leases, interest
on the lease liability and the amortization of the right of use asset results in front-loaded expense over the lease term. Variable lease
expenses are recorded when incurred.
In calculating the right of use asset and lease liability, the Company
has elected to combine lease and non-lease components. The Company excludes short-term leases having initial terms of 12 months or less
from the new guidance as an accounting policy election and recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company evaluates the embedded conversion feature within its convertible
debt instruments under ASC 815-15 and ASC 815-40 to determine if the conversion feature meets the definition of a liability and, if so,
whether to bifurcate the conversion feature and account for it as a separate derivative liability. For derivative financial instruments
that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each
reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments,
the Company uses a lattice model, in accordance with ASC 815-15, Derivative and Hedging, to value the derivative instruments at inception
and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded
as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the
balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12
months after the balance sheet date.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities in accordance
with the requirements of FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. As defined in FASB ASC 820, the fair value is the price
that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement
date (exit price). The Company utilized the market data of similar entities in its industry or assumptions that market participants would
use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique.
These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. The Company classifies fair value balances based
on the observability of those inputs. FASB ASC 820 established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair
value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level
1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurement) as follows:
Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical
assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient
frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments such as exchange-traded
derivatives, marketable securities and listed equities.
Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active
markets included in level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date and includes those financial instruments
that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various
assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors, and current market and contractual prices
for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in
the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels
at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Instruments in this category generally include non- exchange-traded derivatives
such as commodity swaps, interest rate swaps, options and collars.
12
Level 3 – Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are
generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s
best estimate of fair value.
The Company’s derivative liability is a Level 3 liability measured
at fair value on a recurring basis. See Note 10.
Equity Investments
The Company uses the equity method to account for investments in which
it has the ability to exercise significant influence over the investee’s operating and financial policies, or in which it holds
a partnership or limited liability company interest in an entity with specific ownership accounts, unless it has virtually no influence
over the investee’s operating and financial policies. The Company follows the guidance in ASC 323-10-30-2, Joint Ventures, which
prescribes the use of the equity method for investments in joint ventures where the Company has significant influence. Equity method investments
are recorded at cost and are adjusted to recognize (1) the Company’s share, based on percentage ownership or other contractual basis,
of the investee’s net income or loss after the date of investment, (2) amortization of the recorded investment that exceeds the
Company’s share of the book value of the investee’s net assets, (3) additional contributions made and dividends received,
and (4) impairments resulting from other-than- temporary declines in fair value. Gain (loss) on equity investment includes realized gains
or losses upon the sale of the investment and are included as other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations and
comprehensive (loss).
Per ASC 323-10-30-2, Joint Ventures are accounted for using the equity
method, in which the Company initially records its investment at cost, including transaction costs. Under the equity method, an investment
in common stock and in-substance common stock is presented on the balance sheet of an investor as a single amount. However, any difference
between the cost of the investment and the underlying equity in net assets of an investee — commonly referred to as a basis difference
— should be accounted for as if the investee were a consolidated subsidiary.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the provision of
ASC 740-10, (“ASC 740-10”) which requires, among other things, an asset and liability approach to calculating deferred income
taxes. The asset and liability approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences
of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is provided to
offset any net deferred tax assets for which management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred asset will not be realized.
The Company follows the provision of ASC 740-10 related to Accounting
for Uncertain Income Tax Positions. When tax returns are filed, there may be uncertainty about the merits of positions taken or the amount
of the position that would be ultimately sustained. In accordance with the guidance of ASC 740-10, the benefit of a tax position is recognized
in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not
that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions
taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions.
Tax positions that meet the more likely than not recognition threshold
are measured at the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable
taxing authority. The portion of the benefit associated with tax positions taken that exceed the amount measured as described above should
be reflected as a liability for uncertain tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties
that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination.
The Company believes its tax positions are all more likely than not
to be upheld upon examination. As such, the Company has not recorded a liability for uncertain tax benefits.
The Company has adopted ASC 740-10-25, Definition of Settlement which
provides guidance on how an entity should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously
unrecognized tax benefits and provides that a tax position can be effectively settled upon the completion and examination by a taxing
authority without being legally extinguished. For tax positions considered effectively settled, an entity would recognize the full amount
of tax benefit, even if the tax position is not considered more likely than not to be sustained based solely on the basis of its technical
merits and the statute of limitations remains open. The federal and state income tax returns of the Company are subject to examination
by the IRS and state taxing authorities, generally for three years after they are filed.
The Company does not anticipate a tax liability for the years 2025
and 2024, however may be subject to certain penalties. The Company has filed tax returns in Canada for the year ended December 31, 2018,
and they are still subject to audit.
13
Non-controlling Interests
Non-controlling interests are classified as a separate component of
equity in the Company's consolidated balance sheets and statements of changes in stockholders’ equity. Net income (loss) and comprehensive
income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests are reflected separately from consolidated net income (loss) and comprehensive
income (loss) in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) and statements of changes in stockholders’ equity. Any
change in ownership of a subsidiary while the controlling financial interest is retained is accounted for as an equity transaction between
the controlling and non-controlling interests. In addition, when a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained non- controlling equity
investment in the former subsidiary will be initially measured at fair value and the difference between the carrying value and fair value
of the retained interest will be recorded as a gain or loss. The Company has non-controlling interests via its subsidiaries TerraData,
Remote Intelligence and Wildlife Specialists.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company
recorded a loss of $ 11,747 and $ 5,598 respectively, attributable to non- controlling interests.
Comprehensive Loss
Comprehensive loss includes net loss well as other changes in stockholders’
equity that result from transactions and economic events other than those with stockholders. During the nine months ended September 30,
2025 and 2024, the Company’s only element of other comprehensive loss was foreign currency translation.
Stock-based Compensation
Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements
of the Share-Based Payment Topic of ASC 718 which requires recognition in the consolidated financial statements of the cost of employee
and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee or director is required to
perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting period). The ASC also requires measurement of the cost of employee
and director services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award.
Pursuant to ASC Topic 718, for share-based payments to consultants
and other third-parties, compensation expense is determined at the “measurement date.” The expense is recognized over the
vesting period of the award. Until the measurement date is reached, the total amount of compensation expense remains uncertain. The Company
initially records compensation expense based on the fair value of the award at the reporting date. Further, ASC Topic 718, provides guidance
about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic
718, such as the repricing of share options, which would revalue those options and the accounting for the cancellation of an equity award
whether a replacement award or other valuable consideration is issued in conjunction with the cancellation. If not, the cancellation is
viewed as a replacement and not a modification, with a repurchase price of $ 0 .
Loss Per Common Share
The Company accounts for earnings per share pursuant to ASC 260, Earnings
per Share, which requires disclosure on the financial statements of “basic” and “diluted” earnings (loss) per
share. Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
for the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding plus common stock equivalents (if dilutive) related to stock options and warrants for each year. In periods where the Company
has a net loss, all dilutive securities are excluded. Potentially dilutive items outstanding as of September 30, 2025 and 2024 are as
follows:

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments
– Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASC 326”). This standard replaced
the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”)
methodology. CECL requires an estimate of credit losses for the remaining estimated life of the financial asset using historical experience,
current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts and generally applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including
loan receivables and held-to-maturity debt securities, and some off-balance sheet credit exposures such as unfunded commitments to extend
credit. Financial assets measured at amortized cost will be presented at the net amount expected to be collected by using an allowance
for credit losses. The Company adopted this new guidance on January 1, 2023 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not
yet effective, accounting standards could have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements. As new accounting pronouncements
are issued, the Company will adopt those that are applicable.
NOTE 3 – LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN
The Company generated net losses of $ 1,504,701 and $ 3,540,148 during
the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and net cash provided/(used) in operating activities of $ 102,869
and $ 29,782 , respectively. As of September 30, 2025, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $ 18,517,073
and had an accumulated deficit of $ 72,752,633 . As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $ 44,499 of cash.
The Company will require additional funding during the next twelve
months to finance the growth of its current operations and achieve its strategic objectives. These factors, as well as the uncertain conditions
that the Company faces relative to capital raising activities, create substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue
as a going concern. The Company is seeking to raise additional capital principally through private placement offerings and is targeting
strategic partners in an effort to finalize the development of its products and begin generating revenues. The ability of the Company
to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the success of future capital offerings or alternative financing arrangements or expansion
of its operations. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the
Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Management is actively pursuing additional sources of financing sufficient to generate
enough cash flow to fund its operations for twelve months from the issuance date of these consolidated financial statements. However,
management cannot make any assurances that such financing will be secured.
NOTE 4 – BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS
Optilan India PVT Ltd and Optilan Communication & Security
Systems, Ltd.
On September 11, 2024, the Company closed a sale agreement with Joint
Liquidators, Optilan (UK) Limited incorporated and registered in England and Wales acting by the Joint Liquidators (Seller), purchasing
the right, title and interest of shares in Optilan India, PVT Ltd located in Kilpauk, Chennai India and Optilan Communication & Security
Systems, Ltd located in Ankara, Turkey along with the applicable intellectual property rights including (1) the user interface for sensor
systems, (2) The “Optilan.com” domain name and continued use of the “@optilan.com” email accounts. The Company
agreed to pay $ 65,000 USD for both companies and the intellectual property rights.
The Company has accounted for the purchase using the acquisition method
of accounting for business combinations under ASC 805. Accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the underlying assets and
liabilities in proportion to their respective actual values as of the purchase date. The excess of the consideration transferred over
the actual estimated fair values of the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. The following table summarizes the acquired assets
and assumed liabilities for the actual value of the assets and liabilities recognized at the date of acquisition:

Contracts
Contract revenue is recognized over time using the cost-to-cost measure
of progress for fixed price contracts. The cost-to-cost measure of progress best depicts the continuous transfer of control of goods or
services to the customer. The contractual terms provide that the customer compensates the Company for services rendered.
16
Contract costs include all direct materials, labor and subcontracted
costs, as well as indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, repairs and the costs of capital
equipment. The cost estimation and review process for recognizing revenue over time under the cost-to- cost method is based on the professional
knowledge and experience of the Company’s project managers, engineers and financial professionals. Management reviews estimates
of total contract transaction price and total project costs on an ongoing basis. Changes in job performance, job conditions and management’s
assessment of expected variable consideration are factors that influence estimates of the total contract transaction price, total costs
to complete those contracts and profit recognition. Changes in these factors could result in revisions to revenue and costs of revenue
in the period in which the revisions are determined on a prospective basis, which could materially affect the Company’s consolidated
results of operations for that period. Provisions for losses on uncompleted contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses
are determined.
Performance Obligations
A performance obligation is a contractual promise to transfer a distinct
good or service to the customer and is the unit of account under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606. The
transaction price of a contract is allocated to distinct performance obligations and recognized as revenue when or as the performance
obligations are satisfied. The Company’s contracts often require significant integrated services and, even when delivering multiple
distinct services, are generally accounted for as a single performance obligation. Contract amendments and change orders are generally
not distinct from the existing contract due to the significant integrated service provided in the context of the contract and are accounted
for as a modification of the existing contract and performance obligation. The majority of the Company’s performance obligations
are completed within one year.
When more than one contract is entered into with a customer on or close
to the same date, the Company evaluates whether those contracts should be combined and accounted for as a single contract as well as whether
those contracts should be accounted for as more than one performance obligation. This evaluation requires significant judgment and is
based on the facts and circumstances of the various contracts, which could change the amount of revenue and profit recognition in a given
period depending upon the outcome of the evaluation.
Contract Assets and Liabilities
The Company bill its customers based on contractual terms, including,
milestone billings based on the completion of certain phases of the work. Sometimes, billing occurs after revenue recognition, resulting
in unbilled revenue, which is accounted for as a contract asset. Sometimes the Company receives advances payments from our customers before
revenue is recognized, resulting in deferred revenue, which is accounted for as a contract liability.
Contract assets in the consolidated balance sheets represents costs
and estimated earnings in excess of billings, which arise when revenue has been recorded but the amount has not been billed.
Contract assets and liabilities on September 30, 2025 are $ 0 .
Variable Consideration
Transaction pricing for the Company’s contracts may include variable
consideration, such as unapproved change orders, claims, incentives and liquidated damages. Management estimates variable consideration
for a performance obligation utilizing estimation methods that best predict the amount of consideration to which the Company will be entitled.
Variable consideration is included in the estimated transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative
revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Management’s estimates
of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in transaction price are based on past practices with
the customer, specific discussions, correspondence or preliminary negotiations with the customer, legal evaluations and all other relevant
information that is reasonably available. The effect of a change in variable consideration on the transaction price of a performance obligation
is typically recognized as an adjustment to revenue on a cumulative catch-up basis. To the extent unapproved change orders, claims and
liquidated damages reflected in transaction price are not resolved in the Company’s favor, or to the extent incentives reflected
in transaction price are not earned, there could be reductions in, or reversals of, previously recognized revenue.

Patents - Intrusion Detection Intellectual Property
The Company relies on patent laws and restrictions on disclosure to
protect its intellectual property rights. As of September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company held three U.S. and foreign patents on its intrusion
detection technology, which expire in calendar years 2025 through 2034 (depending on the payment of maintenance fees).
The DPTI issued patents cover a System and Method for Brillouin Analysis,
a System and Method for Resolution Enhancement of a Distributed Sensor, and a Flexible Fiber Optic Deformation System Sensor and Method.
Maintenance of intellectual property rights and the protection thereof is important to our business. Any patents that may be issued may
not sufficiently protect the Company's intellectual property and third parties may challenge any issued patents. Other parties may independently
develop similar or competing technology or design around any patents that may be issued to the Company. The Company cannot be certain
that the steps it has taken will prevent the misappropriation of its intellectual property, particularly in foreign countries where the
laws may not protect proprietary rights as fully as in the United States. Further, the Company may be required to enforce its intellectual
property or other proprietary rights through litigation, which, regardless of success, could result in substantial costs and diversion
of management's attention. Additionally, there may be existing patents of which the Company is unaware that could be pertinent to its
business, and it is not possible to know whether there are patent applications pending that the Company's products might infringe upon,
since these applications are often not publicly available until a patent is issued or published.
18
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company
had patent amortization costs on its intrusion detection technology totaling $ 38,271 and $ 38,271 , respectively. Patents costs are being
amortized over the remaining life of each patent, which is from 7 to 16 years .
The DPTI issued patents cover a System and Method for Brillouin Analysis,
a System and Method for Resolution Enhancement of a Distributed Sensor, and a Flexible Fiber Optic Deformation System Sensor and Method.

NOTE 10 – DEBT
Convertible Notes
The Company uses the Black-Scholes Model to calculate the derivative
value of its convertible debt. The valuation result generated by this pricing model is necessarily driven by the value of the underlying
common stock incorporated into the model. The values of the common stock used were based on the price at the date of issue of the debt
security as of September 30, 2025 and 2024. In 2024 management determined the expected volatility of 106.90%, a risk-free rate of interest
of 5.48%, and contractual lives of the debt of three months. In 2024 management determined the expected volatility of 140.30%, a risk-free
rate of interest of 4.73%, and contractual lives of the debt of three months. Management made the determination to use an expected life
rather than contractual life for the calculations for the matured debt as of September 30, 2025 and 2024.
As of September, 2025 and, 2024, there was $ 0 and $ 0 of convertible
debt principal outstanding, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, $ 0 and $ 0 of the debt discount was
amortized.

in exchange for the Patents assigned to the Company, in the amount of Canadian $1,500,000, or US $1,491,923 on December 16, 2010, the
date of the Debenture. On April 24, 2017 DPTI issued a replacement secured term Debenture in the same CAD 1,500,000 amount as the original

of CAD 42,000 (US$33,385) due on April 24, 2018 for reimbursement to the University of its research and development costs, and this has
been paid. Interest-only maintenance payments are due annually starting after April 24, 2018. Payment of the principal begins on the earlier
of (a) three years following two consecutive quarters of positive earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, (b)
six years from April 24, 2017, or (c) in the event DPTI fails to raise defined capital amounts or secure defined contract amounts by April
24 in the years 2018, 2019, and 2020. The Company has raised funds in excess of the amount required for 2020, 2019 and 2018.
Beginning in 2023, The principal repayment amounts will be due quarterly
over a six-year period in the amount of Canadian Dollars 62,500. Based on the exchange rate between the Canadian Dollar and the U.S. Dollar

the University to DPTI by an Assignment Agreement on December 16, 2010. DPTI has pledged the Patents and granted a lien on them pursuant
to an Escrow Agreement dated April 24, 2017, between DPTI and the University.
The Debenture was initially recorded at the $1,491,923 equivalent US
Dollar amount of Canadian 1,500,000 as of December 16, 2010, the date of the original Debenture. The liability is being adjusted quarterly
based on the current exchange value of the Canadian dollar to the US dollar at the end of each quarter. The adjustment is recorded as
unrealized gain or loss in the change of the value of the two currencies during the quarter. The Debenture also includes a provision requiring
DPTI to pay the University a 2% royalty on sales of any and all products or services which incorporate the Patents for a period of five
years from April 24, 2018. To date, no royalties have been paid.

and $ 636,852 of net operating loss carryforwards in Canada which will begin to expire in 2038.
The Company records a tax valuation allowance when it is more likely
than not that it will not be able to recover the value of its deferred tax assets. For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024,
the Company calculated its estimated annualized effective tax rate at 0 % and 0 %, respectively, for both the United States, Canada and
the UK. The Company had no income tax expense on its losses for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions
meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater
than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. The Company recognizes interest accrued
on uncertain tax positions as well as interest received from favorable tax settlements within interest expense. The Company recognizes
penalties accrued on unrecognized tax benefits within selling, general and administrative expenses. As of September 30, 2025 and 2024,
the Company had no uncertain tax positions.
The Company does not anticipate any significant changes to the total
amounts of unrecognized tax benefits in the next 12 months. The Company files income tax returns in New Brunswick, Canada, and the U.S.
federal, New York, and Delaware and the UK jurisdictions. Tax years 2012 to current remain open to examination by Canadian authorities;

On or about August 31, 2021, the Company answered

such term is defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) and, therefore, all contracts between the parties

On or about April 21, 2023, the State Court ruled
in the Company’s favor on its motion for partial summary judgment on its Exchange Act defense, holding that (i) Carebourn is
