ITEM 1. BUSINESS
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS. Table of Contents
Data Call Technologies, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada as Data Call Wireless, Inc. on April 4, 2002, and is sometimes referred to herein as “we”, “us”, “our”, “Data Call” or the “Company.” On March 1, 2006, we changed our name to Data Call Technologies, Inc. Since our inception, we have been engaged in the business of offering real-time information/content via digital signage and kiosk networks to our clients, who we consider to be our partners rather than simply as customers.
Our mission is to continue to exponentially grow our offering of our proprietary subscription services by integrating cutting-edge information/content delivery solutions to and within the control of retail and commercial resellers CMS manufacturers and end-users. Our Company’s services put its clients in control of real-time news, sports, weather and other dynamic content, displayed within one or multiple locations, spanning from local, regional to global end points, through Digital Signage and Kiosk networks.
Our business plan continues to focus on growing our client base by effectively offering this real-time and licensed information/content displayed through Digital Signage and Kiosk networks, seeking to improve the delivery, security, and variety of information/content services to the growing Digital Signage and Kiosk community.
Overview - What Is Digital Signage?
You’ve seen Digital Signage, it’s everywhere. Whether you’re shopping, trying to find your way through the airport, in a taxi, or even along the highway on your way home, it’s there. LED and LCD displays are continually replacing printed marketing materials such as signs and placards, as well as the old-school whiteboard, for product and corporate branding, marketing and assisted selling. The appeal of instantly updating product videos and promotional messages on one or thousands of remotely located displays is driving the adoption of this growing marketing platform. Digital Signage presentations are typically comprised of repeating loops (playlists) of information used to brand, market or sell the owner’s products and services or corporate messaging. But once viewed, this information becomes repetitive and the viewer tunes it out, resulting in low retention of the client’s message. As digital signage has matured, the characteristics of the digital signage presentations have taken center-stage requiring fresh, relevant and dynamic content mixed within the marketing messages. Dynamic Content is key.
Digital Signage Matures
We are experiencing the Digital Signage Industry (back then called connected signage) steadily maturing and Data Call, through its multiple industry specific relationships, continues its engagement and influence in the direction of the Digital Signage industry. Data Call has been performing in this space for well over a decade. Our company has staked claim in assisting the industry’s birth and maintains its prime position to enjoy and benefit from this industry’s growth.
Early on, a business desiring to achieve commercial benefits from the use of digital signage was often confronted by a plethora of hardware and software solutions, all offering their own “standard” of what digital signage should be. Typical customers for digital signage were most-often offered expensive hardware to present digital signage with a very minimalistic content management solution (CMS), lacking the full package of content with which to build and tailor their systems for their target customer base.
Those early adopters of digital signage, often had to realize that their digital signage hardware vendors lacked the acumen to fully provide best practice of content strategy. The tools to manage content were provided, but not the content. From our inception, Data Call recognized that early signage providers and their typical customers lacked that key component - the offering of a comprehensive content package.
As the cost of platforms supporting infrastructure and digital displays has fallen significantly, digital signage has become more accessible to a wider range of potential users. Companies in our industry have come to understand, as we have preached since our inception, that the cost of Data Call’s integrated, content-flexible subscription service is extremely cost effective - and licensed for redistribution over their networks. The benefit that Data Call continues to provide our client base, in the form of ongoing content development, is expected to continue to provide our customers with desirable user-friendly content and content services.
The Need for Speed - Active Content
Active and dynamic content is the integral part of digital signage presentations that must be constantly updated with timely and relevant information to attract and retain target viewers to the products, services, or messaging offered by typical Digital Signage clients. For instance, a typical presentation may contain ten 15-second loops that provide the primary message of the presentation, but the active dynamic content, such as that provided by Data Call, is updated with new information constantly throughout the day. Those seeking to add active and dynamic content to their digital signage presentations are educated and advised to subscribe to Data Call’s dynamic content rather than attempting to illegally “cut and paste” or “scrape” broadcast content or RSS Feeds “not for commercial use” of others into their digital signage presentation.
By integrating Data Call’s content as a meaningful component of digital signage presentations, our clients can legally provide the entertainment and information content necessary to enhance the target customer’s information retention without disrupting the core message of the presentation. Some of the Infotainment categories provided by Data Call include news, sports, weather, financial data, the latest traffic alerts, among many others. With such a broad range of offerings, our clients have access to this active and dynamic content they need, regardless of the target customers and market they are addressing.
Our Business Opportunities
Our many opportunities for client development in the digital signage industry are growing exponentially. While many companies in our industry have traditionally outsourced all or part of their content creation, Data Call serves as a provider of dynamic active content to clients on a tailored basis. Whether a client desires general entertainment information for customers, such as news, sports, stock market quotes, etc. or location-specific content, such as local weather, traffic, etc., our research and experience has validated our long-held mantra that dynamic content draws and retains our clients’ target viewers to their digital signage and keeps viewers engaged throughout the client presentation.
Since our inception, management has developed and maintains strong relationships working with the leaders and associations of the digital signage industry. Collaborative efforts have successfully created industry standard, data formats and methods to facilitate the delivery of our dynamic content more easily and efficiently for integration into most hardware and software products.
Partners, Not Customers
Data Call’s enduring approach to our clients is to build long-lasting partnerships by creating client relationships that we believe are unique in the digital signage industry. We understand that each client has their own content requirements. In developing dynamic content for individual digital signage clients, we have identified three content-related factors: (i) reliability; (ii) objectivity; and (iii) ease of implementation. To address the reliability requirement, we are engaged in multiple license arrangements with the leading providers of news, weather, sports and financial information, among other client-desired content rather than either: (i) downloading and repackaging content sourced from the Internet (which may be illegal); or (ii) Scraping RSS feeds from news organizations (which may come and go at the provider’s whim - not to mention this practice is also illegal).
Licensing data from these premier providers has also served us by satisfying the second criteria, objectivity. Because it is commonly recognized that Internet content may often be unreliable, unverifiable and biased, early on, we determined that we could not simply use unfiltered Internet content for delivery to our clients. Our proper licensing of data facilitates the standard of delivery and implementation by our client/partners. Data Call does the heavy lifting by taking care of not just the licensing, but the proper formatting of that data for consumption by the industry utilizing our multiple formats offered. Data Call has understood that it’s Digital Signage and Kiosk clients needed a more complete service than to endeavor the sourcing of active content from multiple vendors. As a result, our flexible content plans permit our clients to do “one stop shopping” for all dynamic content requirements by licensing subscriptions through us.
We empower our clients to receive customized dynamic content subscriptions to be displayed in a multitude of ways (banners, tickers, scrolls or visualizations integrated with the overall presentations). We have created “Playlist Ready” offerings and produced and distribute multiple sets of common data layouts in the industry-standard formats such as XML (extensible markup language), JSON　(JavaScript Object Notation), JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group), RSS (Rich Site Summary, often called Really Simple Syndication), MRSS (Media RSS) and MPEG (Moving Pictures Expert Group). With the advent of HTML5 (5th version of Hypertext Markup Language), even more delivery methods have been made available to our clients, many of whom have found any one or a combination of these formats to be easily integrated into their products. Nevertheless, we have also produced customized data formats and visualizations to the exact and specific requirements of our clients/partners, which, we believe ensures a higher level of reliability and ease of implementation.
Market demand, opportunity and technology converge at a single point in time, and Data Call continues hold its position. Our integrity persistently builds our business. Digital signage platforms steadily evolve to meet mass market requirements, costs for hardware and software are falling to the point of becoming commodities and the markets for digital signage are clarifying through historical trial and error.
Business Operations
March of 2017, we released our Direct Lynk Manager (DLManager) customer portal at the Digital Signage Expo in Las Vegas. The DLManager incorporates In the Direct Lynk Media platform with major enhancements and options that enable the client to self-serve in a webstore environment. This is a moderated space that allows proper “white glove” treatment by our staff that our clients have come to expect and appreciate. Once the client is comfortable with navigation of the portal, they may then set up multiple groups and displays within their account for testing results in a demo fashion free of charge. Upon completion of their content selections and distribution points, the client may purchase the proper number of licenses needed to support their sections through various plans offered within the portal.
Some of the current types of data and information, for which a client may subscribe to through the Direct Lynk System, in multiple formats include:
● Headline News - top world and national news headlines;
● Business News - top business headlines;
● Financial Highlights - world-based financial indicators;
● Entertainment News - top entertainment headlines;
● Health/Science News - top science/health headlines;
● Strange News- latest off-beat news headlines;
● Sports Headlines - top sports headlines;
● AP News Minute Video
● AP This Day In History Videos
● AP Entertainment Minute Videos
● Latest Sports Lines - latest sports odds for NFL, NBA, NHL, NCAA Football and NCAA Basketball;
● National Football League - latest game schedule, and in-game updates;
● National Basketball Association - latest game schedule, and in-game updates;
● Major league soccer - latest game schedule, and in-game updates;
● National Hockey League - latest game schedule, and in-game updates;
● NCAA Football - latest game schedule, and in-game updates;
● NCAA Men’s Basketball - latest game schedule, and in-game updates;
● Professional Golf Association top 10 leaders continuously updated throughout the four-day tournament;
● NASCAR top 10 race positions updated every 20 laps throughout the race;
● Traffic Mapping;
● Animated Doppler Radar and Forecast Maps;
● Listings of the day’s horoscopes;
● Listings of the birthdays of famous persons born on each day;
● Health and Wellness;
● Listings of historical events which occurred on each day in history; and
● Localized Traffic and Weather Forecasts.
We continually add different types of content per client requests. We provide our DLM services to our clients and other potential customers through the Internet. All DLM Services are real-time information services providing a wide range of up-to-date information for display. These services are designed to work concurrently with customers’ existing digital signage systems. The Direct Lynk Messenger product has been retired, with DLMedia being sunset this year. The DLManager portal is taking the fore front and has been well received by existing and new clients.
Since our inception in 2002, we have come to deeply understand that this industry provides an exciting platform for advertisers, including our clients, to promote, inform, educate, and entertain their customers and employees regarding their business products, services, and corporate communications. Through Digital Signage, and Digital Out of Home (DOOH) businesses can use a single display or a complex, networked series of displays and video walls to market their products and services directly at their facilities and elsewhere to their customers and employees in real time. Additionally, because the core of Digital Signage advertising takes place in real time, businesses can change their marketing and messaging efforts literally from moment to moment and over the course of a day or such other period as they may determine.
We believe that the ability of our clients to display in real-time, the information and content we deliver, better allows our clients to tailor their products, services, advertising and messaging to individual and target-group customers, thereby advertising and offering, for example, inventory and sales discounts that may be designed to appeal to those individual customers and target customer groups, increasing sales and revenues. We believe that the benefits of on-site, real-time Digital Signage displays compared to regular print or video advertising are substantial and include, among other advantages, being able to immediately change digitally-displayed images/advertisements depending on our client’s customers own situation, not simply being restricted by in-store print circulars produced days, weeks or even months in advance, which may become stale or obsolete prior to or shortly after publication and dissemination.
We specialize in enabling our clients to create their own Digital Signage content feeds which are delivered online directly to their chosen, electronic digital display devices at their various facilities. The only requirements our clients must have are: (i) a supported, third-party Digital Signage or Kiosk equipment solution - through a CMS or a standalone player, or similar device, which receives the data from our servers online; and (ii) an Internet connection. Our DLM System is supported by various, readily available third-party systems, varying in costs from inexpensive monthly cloud-based licenses to much more extensive and expensive content management/playback systems. Our Systems allow customers to select from their pre-determined data and information subscriptions offered. We enable our clients to also select location specific content they wish to receive based on how and where their Digital Signage network is configured.
In December of 2017 the company completed the arduous task of reconstructing our back-end systems architecture. This task was initialized to exploit the latest technology advances within our space, utilizing our data center efficiencies to further streamline our processes. One of the greater culminations of this effort yielded the Data Call API (Application Programming Interface) allowing our enterprise channel partners to embed our products within their offerings to further widen our reach.
Data Call continues to grow its client base through relationships that are gained through industry events such as seminars and trade shows. Our company has become a leader in syndicated content and custom content development for Digital Signage. Our licensed content is utilized on thousands of screens in hundreds of deployments. We are truly excited of our continued growth through our resellers, CMS manufacturers and end users.
We were dependent upon one major customer, who accounted for approximately 63% our revenues.
At December 31, 2023, we had customer/subscribers for our DL Manager, which customers are relatively small, paying cumulatively an average monthly fee to Data Call. We also have several larger new potential partner/clients that are using our DL Manager products, and we expect that some or all of them may be expected to become significant clients in the near future. During the year ended December 31, 2022, we were dependent upon two major customers, who accounted for approximately 77% our revenues. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we were dependent upon one major customer, who accounted for approximately 63% of our revenues.
Notwithstanding the forgoing, based upon recent communications with several potential clients who are volume users and/or wholesale distributors of digital signage content and content management systems, we believe that during 2023, several new clients will contribute significant revenue which should materially reduce our reliance on one major customer to less than 63%. As a result, we believe that that we should become far less reliant on a few business clients for our source of revenue. However, there can be no assurance that our belief will prove to be justified or, if justified, that such trend will continue for any future period, if at all.
Employees
At December 31, 2023, we had 2 full-time employees, including our two executive officers. Depending upon our level of our growth, if any, we expect that we may or will be required to hire additional personnel in the areas of sales and marketing, software design, research and development and otherwise, during 2023 and continuing into 2023. However, we will be dependent upon revenue growth and profitability, of which there can be no assurance, to fund any increase in staff. None of our employees are covered by a selective bargaining agreement.
Estimate Of The Amount Spent On Research And Development　Activities
Since our inception in April 2002, the majority of our expenditure has been on research and development to create our Direct Lynk Messenger Systems, including software and hardware development and testing costs. The amount spent on this research and development from inception through December 31, 2023 is approximately $3,000,000.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS. Table of Contents
Investing in our common stock, while providing investors with an equity ownership interest, involves a high degree of risk, including the potential loss of all or a significant portion of their investment. Shareholders will be subject to risks inherent in our business relative to, among other things, general economic and industry conditions, market conditions and competition. The value of the investment may increase or decrease and could result in a loss, the size and extent of which cannot be predicted. An investor should carefully consider the following factors as well as other information contained in this annual report on Form 10-K for our year-ended December 31, 2023.
This annual report on Form 10-K also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements because of many factors, including the risk factors described below and the other factors described elsewhere in this Form 10-K.
Since our inception, we have had a history of generating operating losses. However, in the past two calendar years, we have reversed that trend and have been able to generate positive cash flow from operations. We anticipate being profitable in the near future. We currently expect to significantly increase our revenues by increasing our client base and/or generating additional revenue streams by offering new and enhanced products and services. However, there can be no assurance that our plan will be successful, either in whole or in part. If we fail to increase our revenues, our ability to achieve and fulfill our business plan may be delayed, which could adversely impact our results of operations.
Unforeseen events.
There can be no assurance that unforeseen events, such as: (i) the length of time necessary to generate increasing market acceptance of our DL Manager; (ii) any unexpected material increased development costs; (iii), the general economy in the markets where we offer our DL Manager.
We have competition.
There are many different sectors in the Digital Signage industry, including but not limited to (i) content Management providers, (ii) content Creation services, (III) hardware manufacturers, (iv) network management providers and (v) installation service providers. These sectors are extremely vas and well capitalized. We are in the content sector within a more specific niche of providing subscriptions of dynamic content. We provide subscription service of a wide variety of dynamic infotainment to the industry. As the leader in our subsector of the industry, other companies have attempted to duplicate us and we expect competition to increase in the future. To be competitive, we must continue to invest significant resources in research and development, sales and marketing and customer support. Few have sufficient resources to make these investments or are unable to make the technological advances necessary to continue to remain the leader, our competitive position may suffer. Increased competition could result in price reductions, fewer customer orders, reduced margins and loss of market share. Our failure to compete successfully against current or future competitors could adversely affect our business and financial condition.
We rely on key management personnel.
We are highly dependent upon the services and efforts of key persons, as follows: Tim Vance, our founder and full-time CEO and Chief Operating Officer. Our ability to operate and implement our business plan is heavily dependent upon the continued services of Mr. Vance to grow as anticipated, our ability to attract, retain and motivate qualified, newly hired, full and part-time personnel. The loss of Mr. Vance and our inability, in the future to hire and retain qualified sales and marketing, software engineers and additional management personnel, as needed, could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations. We do not have “key man” life insurance on Mr. Vance.
We are highly dependent upon our ability to successfully market DL Manager to subscribers.
We are dependent on the abilities of our sales and marketing activities to generate new clients for subscriptions to our DL Manager and to broaden our customer base. While the number of paying subscribers for our DL Manager decreased during December 31, 2023, compared to December 31, 2022, there can be no assurance that our sales and marketing efforts will be able to market acceptance for our DL Manager and increase our customer base to a level that will permit continued profitable operations. If our sales and marketing cannot continue to achieve market acceptance for our DL Manager and increase our customer base to a level that will permit profitable operations. If our sales and marketing efforts are unable to continue to generate new customers, we may not be able to generate sufficient revenues to continue with planned research and development on new products and improve our current products.
Difficult and volatile conditions in the capital, credit and commodities markets and general economic uncertainty have prompted companies to cut capital spending worldwide and could continue to affect our business materially adversely.
Disruptions in the economy and constraints in the capital markets have caused companies to reduce or delay capital investment. Some of our prospective customers may cancel or delay spending on the development or roll-out of technology projects with us due to continuing economic uncertainty. Our financial position, results of operations and cash flow could continue to be materially adversely affected by continuing difficult economic conditions and significant volatility in the capital. The continuing impact that these factors might have on us, and our business is uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time. Such economic conditions have accentuated each of the risks we face and magnified their potential effect on us and our business. The difficult conditions in these markets and the overall economy affect our business in several ways. For example:
● Market volatility has exerted downward pressure on our stock price, which may make it more difficult for us to raise additional capital in the future. Economic conditions could continue to result in our customers experiencing financial difficulties or electing to limit spending because of the declining economy, which may result in decreased revenue for us.
● Difficult economic conditions have adversely affected certain industries, including the automotive and restaurant industries, in which we have major customers. We could also experience lower than anticipated order levels from current customers, cancellations of existing but unfulfilled orders, and extended payment terms. Economic conditions could materially impact us through insolvency of our suppliers or current customers.
● Economic conditions combined with the weakness in the credit markets could continue to lead to increased price competition for our products, and higher overhead costs as a percentage of revenue.
If the markets in which we participate experience further economic downturns or slow recovery, this could continue to negatively impact our revenue generation, margins and operating expenses, and consequently have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. If customer demand were to decline further, we might be unable to adjust expense levels rapidly enough in response to falling demand or without changing the way in which we operate. If revenue were to decrease further and we were unable to adequately reduce expense levels, we might incur significant losses that could adversely affect our overall financial performance and the market price of our common stock.
Potential future government regulation of the Internet may adversely affect our business.
We are dependent upon the Internet in connection with our business operations and the delivery of content for our Direct Lynk Systems. The United States Federal Communications Commission (the “FCC”) does not currently regulate companies that provide services over the Internet, as it does common carriers or tele-communications service providers. Notwithstanding the current state of the FCC’s rules and regulations, the potential jurisdiction of the FCC over the Internet is broad and if the FCC should determine in the future to regulate the Internet, our operations, as well as those of other Internet service providers, could be adversely. Compliance with future government regulation of the Internet could result in increased costs and because of our limited resources; it would have a material adverse effect on our business operations and operating results and financial condition.
We are dependent on the security of the Internet to serve our customers; any security breaches or other Internet difficulties could adversely affect our business.
We offer most of our services through, the secure transmission of confidential information over public networks are a critical element of our operations. A party who can circumvent security measures (hacker) could misappropriate proprietary information or cause interruptions in our operations. If we are unable to prevent unauthorized access to our users’ information and transactions, our customer relationships could be irreparably harmed. Although we currently have in place security measures that we feel are adequate to protect our business and those of our customers, these measures may not prevent future security breaches. Nature’s events placed on our systems could cause our systems to fail or cause our systems to operate at speeds unacceptable to our users, in which event we could lose customers and experience a material impact on our financial condition.
We must rely on other companies to maintain the Internet infrastructure if we hope to be successful.
Our future success depends, in large part, on other companies maintaining the Internet system infrastructure, including maintaining a reliable network backbone that provides adequate speed, data capacity and security. If the Internet continues to experience anticipated significant growth in the number of users, frequency of use and amount of data transmitted, as well as the number of malicious viruses and worms introduced onto the Internet by hackers and others, the infrastructure of the Internet may be unable to support the demands placed on it at any particular time or from time-to-time. Because we rely heavily on the Internet and our limited capital, any disruption of the Internet could adversely affect us to a greater degree than our competitors and other users of the Internet.
Our website and systems are hosted by a third party, and we are vulnerable to disruptions or other events that are beyond our control.
Our website and systems are hosted by a third party. We are dependent on our systems’ ability to distribute information over the Internet to customers. If our systems fail, it will harm our reputation, resulting in a loss of current and potential future customers and could cause us to breach existing agreements. Our success depends, in part, on the performance, reliability and availability of our services, which in turn are dependent on our third-party provider. Our systems and operations could be damaged or interrupted by fire, flood, power loss, telecommunications failure, Internet breakdown, break-in, earthquake and similar events. We would face significant damage because of these events. As a result, we may be unable to develop or successfully manage the infrastructure necessary to meet current or future demands for reliability and scalability of our systems, which would have a negative impact on our business and financial conditions.
Our Direct Lynk Systems use sophisticated software which could be found to contain bugs or could be compromised by viruses. While we have not experienced any material bugs and viruses to date, if such event could occur, it could be costly for us to identify and repair, and until such bugs or viruses, if any, are fixed, they could cause interruptions in our service, which could cause our reputation to decline and/or cause us to lose clients.　
Risk Factors Related to Our Common Stock
We are subject to financial reporting and other requirements for which our accounting, other management systems and resources may not be adequately prepared.
As a public company, we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses, including costs associated with reporting requirements and corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and rules implemented by the SEC.
If we identify significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting that we cannot remediate in a timely manner, investors and others may lose confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, and the trading price of our common stock and ability to obtain any necessary equity or debt financing could suffer. In addition, if our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to rely on our internal control over financial reporting in connection with its audit of our financial statements, and if it is unable to devise alternative procedures in order to satisfy itself as to the material accuracy of our financial statements and related disclosures, it is possible that we would be unable to file our annual report with the SEC, which could also adversely affect the trading price of our common stock and our ability to secure any necessary additional financing.
In addition, the foregoing regulatory requirements could make it difficult or costly for us to obtain certain types of insurance, including directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, and we may be forced to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. The impact of these events could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors, on board committees or as executive officers.
Market prices of our equity securities can fluctuate significantly.
The market prices of our common stock may change significantly in response to various factors and events beyond our control, including the following:
● the other risk factors described in this Form 10-K;
● changing demand for our products and services and ability to develop and generate sufficient revenues;
● any delay in our ability to generate operating revenue or net income;
● general conditions in markets we operate in;
● issuance of a significant number of shares, whether for compensation under employee stock options, conversion of debt, potential acquisitions, additional financing or otherwise.
There is only a limited trading market for our common stock.
Our Common Stock is subject to quotation on the OTC market. There has only been limited trading activity in our common stock. There can be no assurance that a more active trading market will commence in our securities as a result of the increasing operations of Data Call. Further, in the event that an active trading market commences, there can be no assurance as to the level of any market price of our shares of common stock, whether any trading market will provide liquidity to investors, or whether any trading market will be sustained.
State blue sky registration; potential limitations on resale of our securities.
Our common stock, the class of the Company’s securities that is registered under the Exchange Act, has not been registered for resale under the Securities Act of 1933 or the “blue sky” laws of any state. The holders of such shares and persons, who desire to purchase them in any trading market that might develop in the future, should be aware that there may be significant state blue-sky law restrictions upon the ability of investors to resell our securities. Accordingly, investors should consider the secondary market for the Company’s securities to be a limited one.
It is the intention of the management to seek coverage and publication of information regarding the Company in an accepted publication which permits a manual exemption. This manual exemption permits a security to be distributed in a particular state without being registered if the Company issuing the security has a listing for that security in a securities manual recognized by the state. However, it is not enough for the security to be listed in a recognized manual. The listing entry must contain (1) the names of issuers, officers, and directors, (2) an issuer’s balance sheet, and (3) a profit and loss statement for either the fiscal year preceding the balance sheet or for the most recent fiscal year of operations. Furthermore, the manual exemption is a nonissuer exemption restricted to secondary trading transactions, making it unavailable for issuers selling newly issued securities.
Most of the accepted manuals are those published in Standard and Poor’s, Moody’s Investor Service, Fitch’s Investment Service, and Best’s Insurance Reports, and many states expressly recognize these manuals. A smaller number of states declare that they “recognize securities manuals” but do not specify the recognized manuals. The following states do not have any provisions and therefore do not expressly recognize the manual exemption: Alabama, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Montana, South Dakota, Tennessee, Vermont, and Wisconsin.
Dividends unlikely on our common stock.
We do not expect to pay dividends for the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends, if any, will be contingent upon our future revenues and earnings, capital requirements and general financial condition. The payment of any dividends will be within the discretion of our board of directors. It is our intention to retain all earnings for use in our business operations and accordingly, we do not anticipate that the Company will declare any dividends in the foreseeable future.
Compliance with Penny Stock Rules.
Our securities will initially be considered a “penny stock” as defined in the Exchange Act and the rules there under, since the price of our shares of common stock is less than $5. Unless our common stock is otherwise excluded from the definition of “penny stock,” the penny stock rules apply with respect to that particular security. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer prior to a transaction in penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, the penny stock rules require that the broker-dealer, not otherwise exempt from such rules, must make a special written determination that the penny stock is suitable for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure rules have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. So long as the common stock is subject to the penny stock rules, it may become more difficult to sell such securities. Such requirements, if applicable, could additionally limit the level of trading activity for our common stock and could make it more difficult for investors to sell our common stock.
Shares eligible for future sale.
As of December 31, 2023, the Registrant had 157,498,515 shares of common stock issued and outstanding of which 46,861,850 shares are “restricted” as that term is defined under the Securities Act, and in the future may be sold in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Rule 144 generally provides that a person holding restricted securities for a period of six months may sell every three months in brokerage transactions and/or market-maker transactions an amount equal to the greater of one (1%) percent of (a) the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock or (b) the average weekly trading volume of the common stock during the four calendar weeks prior to such sale. Rule 144 also permits, under certain circumstances, the sale of shares without any quantity limitation by a person who has not been an affiliate of the Company during the three months preceding the sale and who has satisfied a six-month holding period. However, all of the current shareholders of the Company owning 5% or more of the issued and outstanding common stock are subject to Rule 144 limitations on selling.
The Nevada Revised Statutes and our articles of incorporation authorize to issue additional shares of common stock and shares of preferred stock, which preferred stock having such rights, preferences and privileges as our board of directors shall determine.
Pursuant to our Articles of Incorporation, as amended and restated, we have authorized capital stock of 490,000,000 shares of common stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. As of December 31, 2023, we have 157,498,515 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and 800,000 shares of preferred A stock issued and outstanding and 10,000 shares of preferred B stock issued and outstanding. Our Board of Directors has the ability, without shareholder approval; to issue a significant number of additional shares of common stock without shareholder approval, which if issued would cause substantial dilution to our then common shareholders. Additionally, shares of preferred stock may be issued by our Board of Directors at their sole discretion and without shareholder approval, in such classes and series, having such rights, including voting rights and super-majority voting rights, and such preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, powers and privileges as determined by our Board of Directors from time-to-time. If shares of preferred stock are issued by our Board of Directors having super-majority voting rights or having conversion rights to convert their preferred stock into a number of shares of common stock at a ratio of greater that one-for-one, holders of our common stock would be subject to dilution that may be significant.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2014, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to authorize 1,000,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 (the “Series B Stock”), 10,000 shares of which were issued to our CEO, Tim Vance. The Series B Stock, which may be issued in one or more series by the terms of which may be and may include preferences as to dividends and liquidation, conversion, redemption rights and sinking fund provisions, has the right to vote, in the aggregate, on all shareholder matters, equal to 51% of the total shareholder vote on all shareholder matters. The Series B Stock is entitled to this super-majority, 51% voting right no matter how many shares of common stock or other voting stock of Data Call stock is issued and outstanding in the future. The voting rights of the Series B Stock make a change in control without the approval of Timothy Vance, our CEO.

Notes to Financial Statements
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Data Call Technologies, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Data Call Technologies, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered net losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are discussed in Note 9. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for 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 audits. 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 audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that 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 audits, we are required to obtain an 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 audits 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 audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Going Concern
The risk of Going Concern was determined to be a critical audit matter due to the Company’s past negative cash flows from operations.
To evaluate the appropriateness of the going concern, we examined and evaluated the financial information that was the initial cause along with management’s plan to mitigate going concern and management’s disclosure on going concern.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2023
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.
Organization, Ownership and Business
Data Call Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada in 2002. The Company’s mission is to integrate cutting-edge information delivery solutions that are currently deployed by the media and put them within the control of retail and commercial enterprises. The Company’s software and services put its clients in control of real-time advertising, news, and other content, including emergency alerts, within one building or 10,000, local or thousands of miles away.
The Company’s financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted (GAAP) in the United States. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and result of operations for the periods presented have been reflected herein.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investment instruments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2023, or 2022
Revenue Recognition
On January 1 2018, we adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, (Revenue from Contracts with Customers) (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC), Revenue Recognition. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606. The impact of adopting the new revenue standard was not material to our financial statements and there was no adjustment to beginning retained earnings on January 1, 2018.
Under Topic 606, revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.
We determine revenue recognition through the following steps:
● identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;
● identification of the performance obligations in the contract;
● determination of the transaction price;
● allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
● recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation.
Company recognizes revenues based on monthly fees for services provided to customers. Some customers prepay for annual services and the Company defers such amounts and amortizes them into revenues as the service is provide.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable consist primarily of trade receivables. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful trade receivables equal to the estimated uncollectible amounts. That estimate is based on historical collection experience, current economic and market conditions and a review of the current status of each customer’s trade accounts receivable. The allowance for doubtful trade receivables was $0 as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 as we believe all of our receivables are fully collectable.
Property, Equipment and Depreciation
Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Upon retirement or sale, the cost of the assets disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, with any resultant gain or loss being recognized as a component of other income or expense. Depreciation is computed over the estimated useful lives of the assets (3-7 years) using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes and accelerated methods for income tax purposes. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.
Advertising Costs
The cost of advertising is expensed as incurred.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
Product Development Costs
Product development costs consist of cost incurred to develop the Company’s website and software for internal and external use. All product development costs are expensed as incurred.
Income Taxes
The Company is a taxable entity and recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. The effect on the deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the year that includes the enactment date of the rate change. A valuation allowance is used to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U. S. GAAP 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 vary from those estimates.
Beneficial Conversion Feature
Convertible debt includes conversion terms that are considered in the money compared to the market price of the stock on the date of the related agreement. The Company calculates the beneficial conversion feature and records a debt discount with the amount being amortized to interest expense over the term of the note.
Management’s Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The basic net income per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during a period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss, adjusted on an as if converted basis, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive securities using the treasury stock method. For the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, potential securities include “Convertible preferred A shares”. Under the treasury stock method, an increase in the fair market value of the Company’s common stock results in a greater dilutive effect from outstanding options, restricted stock awards and common stock warrants. In years with a net loss, potentially dilutive securities are not included because their effect is anti-dilutive.
Schedule of Earnings Per Share, Basic and Diluted
Years Ended December 31,
Net Income (loss) $ (17,553 ) $ 4,782
Net (loss) per common share:
Basic $ 0.00 $ 0.00
Diluted $ 0.00 $ 0.00
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding:
Basic 157,498,515 157,498,515
Diluted 453,247,129 453,247,129
Stock-based Compensation
We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with “FASB ASC 718-10.” Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of the portion of share-based awards that are ultimately expected to vest during the period. The fair value of each stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of restricted stock is determined based on the number of shares granted and the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Compensation expense for all share-based payment awards is recognized using the straight-line amortization method over the vesting period.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company estimates the fair value of its financial instruments using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the Company estimates of fair value are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumption and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. The interest rates payable by the Company on its notes payable approximate market rates. The Company believes that the fair value of its financial instruments comprising accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable, and notes payable approximate their carrying amounts.
On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted an accounting standard for applying fair value measurements to certain assets, liabilities and transactions that are periodically measured at fair value. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In August 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting standards related to the measurement of liabilities that are routinely recognized or disclosed at fair value. This standard clarifies how a company should measure the fair value of liabilities, and those restrictions preventing the transfer of a liability should not be considered as a factor in the measurement of liabilities within the scope of this standard. This standard became effective for the Company on October 1, 2009. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. The fair value accounting standard creates a three-level hierarchy to prioritize the inputs used in the valuation techniques to derive fair values. The basis for fair value measurements for each level within the hierarchy is described below with Level 1 having the highest priority and Level 3 having the lowest.
The Company is authorized to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share, of which 800,000 are outstanding as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. The Preferred Stock may be issued in one or more series, the terms of which may be determined at the time of issuance by the Board of Directors, without further action by stockholders, and may include voting rights (including the right to vote as a series on particular matters), preferences as to dividends and liquidation, conversion, redemption rights and sinking fund provisions.
Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall bear a preferential dividend of twelve percent (12%) per year and is convertible into a number shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) based upon Fifty (50%) percent of the average closing bid price of the Common Stock During the ten (10) day period prior to the conversion. The Company has not declared or accrued any dividends as of December 31, 2023, or 2022. Unaccrued and undeclared dividends were $4,800 as of December 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively.
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets.
Level 3: Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable.
The following table presents the Company’s assets and liabilities within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2023, and 2022:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has reviewed all other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.
The Company has considered all new accounting pronouncements and has concluded that there are no new pronouncements that may have a material impact on results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows, based on current information.

From time to time, we may be involved in routine legal proceedings, as well as demands, claims and threatened litigation that arise in the normal course of our business. The ultimate amount of liability, if any, for any claims of any type (either alone or in the aggregate) may materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. In addition, the ultimate outcome of any litigation is uncertain. Any outcome, whether favorable or unfavorable, may materially and adversely affect us due to legal costs and expenses, diversion of management attention and other factors. We expense legal costs in the period incurred. We cannot assure you that additional contingencies of a legal nature or contingencies having legal aspects will not be asserted against us in the future, and these matters could relate to prior, current or future transactions or events. As of December 31, 2023, there were no pending or threatened litigation against the Company.
Note 8. Concentrations.
Concentration of Major Customers
As of December 31, 2023, the Company’s trade accounts receivable from one customer represented approximately 81% of its accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2022, the Company’s trade accounts receivable from one customer represented approximately 83% of its accounts receivable.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company received approximately 63% of its revenue from one customer. The specific concentrations were Customer A, 63%. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company received approximately 73% of its revenue from two customers.
Concentration of Supplier Risk
The Company had 5 vendors that accounted for approximately 70% of purchases during the year ended December 31, 2023, related to operations. Specific concentrations were Vendor A 16%, Vendor B 11%, Vendor C11%, vender D 19% and Vendor E 12%. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company had 4vendors that accounted for approximately 58% of purchases.
Note 9. Going Concern
Although our audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were prepared under the assumption that we would continue our operations as a going concern, the report of our independent registered public accounting firm that accompanies our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 contains a going concern qualification in which such firm expressed substantial doubt in our ability to continue as a going concern without additional capital from becoming available, based on the financial statements at that time. Specifically, as noted above, we have incurred an operating loss this year and have negative working capital. The company is currently negotiating with investors who could provide financing which would cure our working capital requirements. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. If we are unable to generate additional funds in the future through financings, sales of our products, or from other sources or transactions, we could exhaust our resources and might be unable to continue operations.
Note 10. Other Assets
In June of 2023 the company started the arduous task of reconstructing our back-end systems architecture. This task was initialized to exploit the latest technology advances within our space, utilizing our data center efficiencies to further streamline our processes.

Since it has not been completed the Company has been accumulating its cost in other assets and when completed will be capitalized and depreciated over time. The company has accumulated at this time $100,000 in costs.
Note 11. Subsequent Events.
The Company has evaluated subsequent events from the date on the balance sheet through the date these financial statements are being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. Table of Contents
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2023 (the “Evaluation Date”). The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its 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 judgment 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, 2023, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness 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 the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management has conducted, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Accounting Officer, an assessment, including testing of the effectiveness, of our internal control over financial reporting as of Evaluation Date. Management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting was conducted using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013 Framework).
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In connection with our management’s assessment of our internal control over financial reporting as required under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we have concluded that our internal control over financial reporting had material weaknesses including lack of sufficient internal accounting personnel in order to ensure complete documentation of complex transactions and adequate financial reporting during the year ended December 31, 2023. Based on this assessment, Management identified the following material weaknesses that have caused management to conclude that, as of December 31, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures, and our internal control over financial reporting, were not effective at the reasonable assurance level:
1. We do not have written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures. Written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have written documentation of our internal controls and procedures on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.
2. We do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.
3. We do not have written documentation of formal procedures for the identification and approval of related party transactions.
To address these material weaknesses, management performed additional analyses and other procedures to ensure that the financial statements included herein fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Accordingly, we believe that the financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only our management’s report in this Annual Report.
Remediation of Material Weaknesses
To remediate the material weakness in our documentation, evaluation and testing of internal controls we plan to engage a third-party firm to assist us in remedying this material weakness once resources become available.
We also intend to remedy our material weakness with regard to insufficient segregation of duties by hiring additional employees in order to segregate duties in a manner that establishes effective internal controls once resources become available.
Management has identified corrective actions for the weakness and has begun implementation during the first quarter of 2023.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to an exemption for smaller reporting companies under Section 989G of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) or in other factors that occurred during the period of our evaluation that have significantly affected, or are reasonably likely to significantly affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
