SPECTRAL CAPITAL Corp 10-K/A

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. Restatement of Controls Assessment As disclosed in the Explanatory Note to this Amendment, the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, as originally filed with the SEC on June 23, 2025, erroneously concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting were effective as of December 31, 2024. Upon further evaluation, management has determined that such conclusion was incorrect due to the material weaknesses described below. This Item 9A has been amended in its entirety to correct that disclosure. Jenifer Osterwalder, our Chief Executive Officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, mean controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company on the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgement in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, our Chief Executive Officer concluded that, as a result of a material weakness identified in our internal control over financial reporting, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. In the course of preparing the financial statements that are included in this Form 10-K, management has determined that a material weakness exists within the internal controls over financial reporting. The material weakness identified relates to the lack of a sufficient complement of personnel within the finance and accounting function with an appropriate degree of knowledge, experience and training. We also noted a material weakness related to logical security and privileged access in the area of information technology. We concluded that the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting information technology occurred because we did not have the necessary business processes, systems, personnel, and related internal controls necessary to satisfy the accounting and financial reporting requirements of a public company. In order to remediate the material weaknesses, we expect to hire additional accounting, finance and information technology resources or consultants with public company experience upon receiving sufficient capital. We may not be able to fully remediate the identified material weakness until the steps described above have been completed and our internal controls have been operating effectively for a sufficient period of time. We cannot assure you that we will be able to fully remediate the material weakness in 2025. If the steps we take do not correct the material weakness in a timely manner, we will be unable to conclude that we maintain effective internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, there could continue to be a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We also may incur significant costs to execute various aspects of our remediation plan but cannot provide a reasonable estimate of such costs at this time. 19 Management’s Annual Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Due to inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies and procedures may deteriorate. Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K based on the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013 framework) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or COSO. Based on such evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report on internal control over financial reporting issued by our independent registered public accounting firm. Our auditors will not be required to opine on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 until we are no longer an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012. Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

LLC ● Transaction Date: August 29, 2024 ● Related Party: Sean Michael Brehm , Chairman of the Board ● Transaction Description: ○ On August 29, 2024, Spectral completed the acquisition of 100% of Node Nexus Network Co. LLC (“Node Nexus”) from Sean Michael Brehm , the sole owner of Node Nexus and now Spectral’s Chairman. ○ Spectral issued 1,000,000 shares of Series Quantum Preferred Stock in exchange for all of the outstanding membership interests of Node Nexus. Each preferred share is convertible into 40 common shares after a 12-month holding period, subject to the availability of authorized shares. ○ Concurrently, Mr. Brehm invested $1,010,000 in Spectral through a private placement, purchasing 5,050,000 common shares at $0.20 per share . ○ As a result of this transaction, Mr. Brehm became Spectral’s controlling shareholder and now holds a substantial voting interest in the Company. ● Conflict Mitigation: ○ Given that Mr. Brehm was both the seller and a newly appointed director, the transaction was reviewed and approved by Spectral’s independent directors to ensure that the terms were fair and in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders . ○ The Share Exchange Agreement and related documents were filed with the SEC and disclosed in the Company’s Form 8-K filed on August 30, 2024. 25 2.

However, the Board of Directors recognizes the importance of independent oversight in reviewing transactions and strategic decisions. Currently, the Company’s Board consists of five directors, three of whom are considered independent under SEC guidelines . These independent directors have no material relationships with the Company outside of their board service and stock ownership. The Board intends to continue strengthening its governance practices and may expand its independent oversight in the future. Policy on Related Party Transactions Spectral has adopted a formal policy requiring that any transaction involving an officer, director, or significant shareholder be reviewed and approved by the disinterested members of the Board . This policy is intended to ensure: ● Fairness in business dealings ● Alignment with shareholder interests ● Compliance with regulatory and corporate governance standards From time to time, due to the limited cash flow available, Ms. Osterwalder pays certain operating expenditures on behalf of the Company. These advances bear no interest and are due on demand. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, Ms. Osterwalder was due $0 and $6,150 in connection with these advances, respectively. Independent Directors The Board of Directors has determined that a director is an independent director under standards established by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The following Directors are considered independent directors: Aby Alexander, Paul Breitenbach, Samson Lee and Chad McLeaming. Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons The board of directors may ratify a “Related Transaction” by a majority vote of the disinterested directors that are voting at any Special or Regularly scheduled board meeting. A Related Transaction is defined as a material agreement, contract, or other transaction between a current officer, director, or shareholder of the Company and the Company itself. Additionally, under no circumstances may the Related Transaction that is ratified be on less favorable terms to the Company than it would have it been negotiated with an unrelated third party.
