Special Notice Regarding the Worldwide Covid-19 Crisis

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, there were many uncertainties regarding the current Novel Coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic, including the scope of scientific and health issues, the anticipated duration of the pandemic, and the extent of local and worldwide social, political, and economic disruption. The COVID-19 pandemic has had far-reaching impacts on many aspects of the operations of the Company, directly and indirectly, including on consumer behavior, customer store traffic, our people, and the market generally. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we made the determination that COVID-19 possessed no continued serious risk to our employees and our business, and we returned to operating under pre-COVID-19 protocols.

Implications of Being a Smaller Reporting Company

We are a “smaller reporting company” as defined in the Exchange Act. We may take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosures available to smaller reporting companies so long as the market value of our voting and non-voting Common Stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250.0 million measured on the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, or our annual revenue is less than $100.0 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our Common Stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700.0 million measured on the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter. To the extent we take advantage of such reduced disclosure obligations, it may also make comparisons of our financial statements with other public companies difficult or impossible.

PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Company Overview

Mitesco, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) was formed in the state of Delaware on January 18, 2012. On December 9, 2015, we restructured our operations and acquired Newco4pharmacy, LLC, a development stage company which sought to acquire compounding pharmacy businesses. As a part of the restructuring, we shut down our former business line. On April 24, 2020, we changed our name to Mitesco, Inc. In October 2023, the Company changed its domicile from Delaware to Nevada in order to effect reduced costs.

From 2020 through 2022, our operations were focused on establishing medical clinics utilizing nurse practitioners under The Good Clinic name and development and acquisition of telemedicine technology. We opened our first The Good Clinic in Minneapolis, Minnesota in the first quarter of 2021 and had six operating clinics during the year ended December 31, 2022, with two additional sites under contract. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, we made the strategic decision to close the entire clinic operation and release our staff due to a lack of profitability. The majority of the holders of Series D and F Preferred stock, notes payable and accounts payable discussed herein, were investors, lenders and vendors to the Company during the operation of the clinic business and have now received either restricted common stock, or the Series A Preferred shares in consideration of the cancelation of, or in exchange for, the previous obligations. The financial results and obligations are now accounted for as “discontinued operations”. For details see “Debt Restructuring” herein.

Current Business Operations

We are a holding company seeking to provide products, services and technology.

In June 2024 we announced the formation of two (2) new wholly owned business units, Centcore, LLC (“Centcore”) that is providing data center services including cloud computing and application hosting, and Vero Technology Ventures, LLC (“VTV”), whose aim is to seek investment and acquisition opportunities, generally in the areas of cloud computing and data center related applications.

Centcore has two (2) areas of focus. The first, generic data center services, is aimed at hosting applications for a specific user, sometimes referred to as “managed services offerings” or MSO, where the client moves the software licensed from various vendors, or internally developed, into our data center where we maintain the computing, communications and backup environment.

The second focus involves hosting application software developed by software vendors, from which they will sell the use of the software by their end user clients on a “cloud” basis. By taking this approach, we gain the business of the vendor, and their clients, perhaps allowing us to grow at a faster rate with lower cost of sales. We have developed the “Centcore Partner Program” where we will help promote the software vendors who are hosting in our data centers. If we are successful helping the vendor grow his business, we will have provided a “value added service”, and benefit from increased utilization of our computing resources by not only the vendor, but also his new end user clients. Our initial focus for this area is on software providers who serve the “infrastructure” market doing design, engineering, construction and maintenance of significant assets. We desire to create “life cycle” relationships as the design, construction and operational life of these systems includes document management and performance modeling over years, often from 5 to 20 years.

We have retained proven professionals in the data center, cyber security and infrastructure services areas to support our needs on a per hour basis, which we believe will allow us to control our costs relative to business activity, without significant staffing internally. We have also formed an “Advisory Board” where individuals with experience in business areas where we have interest have agreed to assist us, receiving a nominal issuance of restricted common stock, in consideration of their advice.

VTV is currently involved with the formation of a new software development project aimed at applying artificial intelligence (A.I.) to the sales process for various businesses including residential real estate. There are several other projects in evaluation, generally aimed at software that would operate on a cloud computing platform such as that which the Company has in its Centcore Data Center. The VTV arm is actively reviewing potential early-stage cloud computing solution vendors and is developing its own A.I. based application set. It is currently in development of a new sales automation tool set deemed the ‘Robo Agent’ application. This software is intended to utilize A.I. to promote more efficient sales and marketing within certain direct to consumer (D2C) markets, and with highly targeted market research. It expected early versions of this software to be available for evaluation in mid FY2025.

There are several other projects in evaluation, generally aimed at software that would operate on a cloud computing platform such as that which the Company has in its Centcore Data Center. These may include joint venture or acquisition-oriented transactions, as well as internally developed software.

Advisory Board

The Board of Directors has authorized the creation of a new Advisory Board whose participants shall include subject matter experts in certain business areas under consideration by the Company. These positions are “non-executive” and as such are not governed by Section 16 of the Securities Act. The compensation for the participants shall be $60,000 per year, paid through the issuance of restricted common stock. The per share valuation to be used shall be determined by the Board of Directors based on the market of the Company’s common stock at the time of the appointment. For all appointments in FY2024 the valuation used was $.80 per share, resulting in the issuance of 75,000 shares of restricted common stock to each participant. The members of the advisory board do not have the authority to vote on matters brought to the board of directors and may only attend a meeting of the board of directors if they are invited. Also, the members of the advisory board are not bound by fiduciary duties and are not entitled to indemnification.

Competition

We are in the early stage of developing our data center business, and while we believe there is a very large, and growing market for our offerings, there are also many competitors with significant experience and client base, of varying size. We believe our technology and services approach will be able to compete with other technology and services providers. We face competition primarily from:

We believe the principal competitive factors in our market include, but are not limited to:

We aspire to compare favorably on the basis of the factors listed above. However, many of our competitors have: substantially greater financial, technical and marketing resources; relationships with large vendor partners; larger global presence; larger customer bases; longer operating histories; greater brand recognition; and more established relationships in the industry than we do. Furthermore, new entrants not currently considered to be competitors may enter the market through acquisitions, partnerships or strategic relationships.

We cannot be assured that we will be able to compete in any of the markets in which we intend to operate. This could cause you to lose your investment. 

Our Competitive Strengths

We believe the following strengths and market dynamics provide us with a competitive advantage. As additional capital is available to the Company, we will pursue the acquisition of existing healthcare services and technology business, and we may consider opening new clinics using our revised and less capital-intensive approach going forward:

Management/Human Capital

As of the date of this Annual Report, we have no full-time employees, rather our needs are being met from the efforts of our directors and a number of individuals under consulting or advisory agreements including accounting, SEC reporting, legal, sales, systems operation and software development.

We do not now, or expect in the near term, to provide any benefits to our employees, advisors or consultants. We have historically provided incentive stock options and other equity incentives to officers, directors and key employees to provide ownership and alignment of interests with our shareholders, however in January 2024, the Board of Directors terminated the Mitesco Omnibus Securities and Incentive Plan so currently it has no active stock incentive plans. During FY2024 the Company compensated members of its Board of Directors and its Advisory Board with restricted stock issuances and expects to continue that practice going forward based on performance.

We believe that the Company’s management team will remain relatively small in the near term and should consist of a team with experience in 1) public company accounting and finance, 2) software and systems, 3) brand marketing, and 4) public equities financing.

As of December 31, 2024, none of our employees were represented by a union or covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We have not experienced any work stoppages, and we consider our relationship with our employees to be good.

Government Regulation

We are subject to a wide range of laws, regulations, and legal requirements in the U.S., including those that may apply to our products and online services offerings, and those that impose requirements related to user privacy, data storage and protection, cybersecurity, and as the role of regulation evolves, AI. For information about governmental regulations applicable to our business, refer to Risk Factors included elsewhere in this filing. 

If there are changes in laws, regulations, or administrative or judicial interpretations, we may have to change our future business practices, or our business practices could be challenged as unlawful, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. See the description below for certain of the laws, regulations, or administrative or judicial interpretations that we are currently subject to and the “Risk Factors” section.

Recent Developments

FY2024 Debt Restructuring

From FY2021 until late FY2022 the Company invested in an operating subsidiary, The Good Clinic, which was developing a series of primary care healthcare facilities. In late FY2022, as a result of a lack of adequate revenues and limited funding, it ceased operations. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had over $30 million in senior securities, notes and accounts payable related to that discontinued operation. In order to clear those obligations management began a restructuring which involved negotiations to reduce the overall debt, converting the obligations of certain accredited institutional investors into a newly created Series A Amortizing Preferred stock (“Series A Preferred”), and others into restricted common stock using a price per share of $4.00.

As of the date of this filing it has converted over $25 million of its obligations, representing over $20 million of its senior securities, and over $2 million of notes and accounts payable, into 2,712,302 of restricted Common Stock, and 538,879 shares of Series A Preferred stock. The Series A Preferred stock is held by six (6) accredited institutional investors, while over 40 holders of obligations of the Company elected to receive common stock using the $4 per share valuation.

Additionally, effective December 31, 2024, the Company has entered into Obligation Exchange Agreements pursuant to which it has converted $580,132, including $32,132 of principal and interest, of its 2024 Bridge Notes into Series A Preferred shares, which resulted in the issuance of 23,206 shares of Series A Preferred shares to three (3) of its institutional investors. This extinguishes $580,132 of its short-term debt. As of the date of this filing all FY2024 bridge notes have been extinguished.

As part of the restructuring, the Company agreed to register shares of Common Stock issued and to be issued to Series A Preferred Stockholders.

Discontinued Operations and the 2023 Clinic Related Debt Exchange Agreement

On December 8, 2023, effective November 30, 2023, the Company sold the remaining assets of The Good Clinic, LLC to Leading Primary Care LLC, a company organized by Michael C. Howe, the former CEO of The Good Clinic, LLC for total consideration of approximately $2.5 million. Consideration consisted of cancelling existing notes payable and accrued interest owed to Mr. Howe in the amount of approximately $2.5 million. The Company recognized a contribution to capital on this transaction in the amount of approximately $2.5 million as Mr. Howe is a related party.

On December 8, 2023, Mr. Howe also exchanged (i) 500,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock with a stated value of approximately $0.5 million and accrued dividends of approximately $67,000, and (ii) approximately $25,000 (investment incentive of 65% applied only to the accrued salary portion of $38,000), for 655 shares of the Company’s Series F Preferred Stock with a liquidation value of approximately $0.6 million. Other than the conversion of incentive of approximately $25,000, there was no gain or loss recorded on this transaction.

Smaller Reporting Company

We are subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 of the Exchange Act, and subject to the disclosure requirements of Regulation S-K of the SEC, as a “smaller reporting company.” That designation will relieve us of some of the informational requirements of Regulation S-K.

Sarbanes-Oxley Act

Except for the limitations excluded by the JOBS Act discussed under the preceding heading “Smaller Reporting Company,” we are also subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures, and internal control, over financial reporting. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act created a strong and independent accounting oversight board to oversee the conduct of auditors of public companies and strengthen auditor independence. It also requires steps to enhance the direct responsibility of senior members of management for financial reporting and for the quality of financial disclosures made by public companies; establishes clear statutory rules to limit, and to expose to public view, possible conflicts of interest affecting securities analysts; creates guidelines for audit committee members’ appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of public companies’ auditors; management assessment of our internal controls; prohibits certain insiders from trading during pension fund blackout periods; requires companies and auditors to evaluate internal controls and procedures; and establishes a federal crime of securities fraud, among other provisions. In addition, we will be required to comply with the requirements of the

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act when we cease to be an emerging growth company. We expect to incur significant expenses and devote substantial management effort toward ensuring compliance with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

Exchange Act Reporting Requirements

Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act requires all companies with securities registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, like we are, to comply with the rules and regulations of the SEC regarding proxy solicitations, as outlined in Regulation 14A. Matters submitted to shareholders at a special or annual meeting thereof or pursuant to a written consent will require us to provide our shareholders with the information outlined in Schedules 14A (where proxies are solicited) or 14C (where consents in writing to the action have already been received or anticipated to be received) of Regulation 14, as applicable; and preliminary copies of this information must be submitted to the SEC at least 10 days prior to the date that definitive copies of this information are forwarded to our shareholders.

We are also required to file annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q with the SEC on a regular basis, and will be required to timely disclose certain material events (e.g., changes in corporate control; acquisitions or dispositions of a significant amount of assets other than in the ordinary course of business; and bankruptcy) in a Current Report on Form 8-K.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below, as well as the other information in this Form 10-K, including our financial statements and the related notes and the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this Form 10-K, before deciding whether to invest in our securities. The occurrence of any of the events or developments described below could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects. In such an event, the market price of our securities could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business operations. Some statements in this Form 10K, including such statements in the following risk factors, constitute forward-looking statements. See the section entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Risks Related to our Business

We are in the initial stages of our present business plan and have a limited historical performance for you to base an investment decision upon, and we may never become profitable.

We have a new business plan and no operating history upon which an evaluation of our prospects and future performance can be made. Our planned operations are subject to all business risks associated with new companies. The likelihood of our success must be considered considering the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications, and delays frequently encountered in connection with the establishment of a new business, operation in a competitive industry. There is a possibility that we could sustain losses for a long time or may never operate profitably. If we are not successful in implementing our strategy as anticipated, continue to incur losses, and fail to raise additional capital, we may need to consider alternative options and in an extreme scenario, shut down operations.

The success of our business is dependent on subscription and renewal of our services by customers.

Our growth will be dependent upon successful onboarding of customers who subscribe to our data storage, data hosting, data center, and managed service offerings. This success is dependent on successful marketing strategy, network building and expansion, and advertising, all of which will incur capital expenditure. Moreover, if and when we onboard customers, customers have no obligation to renew their subscriptions for our services after the expiration of their contractual subscription period, and in the normal course of business, some customers will elect not to renew. In addition, our customers may renew for fewer subscriptions, renew for shorter contract lengths or switch to lower cost offerings of our services, particularly in times of general economic uncertainty.

Our future success also depends in part on our ability to sell additional features and services, more subscriptions or enhanced editions of our services to our current customers. This may also require increasingly sophisticated and costly sales efforts that are targeted at senior management. Similarly, the rate at which our customers purchase new or enhanced services depends on a number of factors, including general economic conditions and customer receptiveness to any price changes related to these additional features and services.

We may become involved in legal proceedings that could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

From time to time and in the ordinary course of our business, we and certain of our subsidiaries may become involved in various legal proceedings and claims, including for example, employment disputes and litigation; client disputes and litigation alleging solution and implementation defects, intellectual property infringement, violations of law and breaches of contract and warranties; and other third party disputes and litigation alleging intellectual property infringement, violations of law, and breaches of contracts and warranties.

Virtually all of our current outstanding obligations of approximately $2.7 million arise from settlement agreements with the property owners of the locations utilized for our clinic business, which was shuttered in Q4 of FY2022, or default judgments issued by state courts against the Company. While we believe that we have settled pending litigation, there can be continued, or renewed, claims from existing creditors, judgement holders or other holders of its historical obligations. Management continues to resolve its historical obligations through negotiation and use of its securities, though not all holders of its historical obligations appreciate the opportunity to own equity in the Company. Nonetheless, the Company may not be able to fund the payment of its historical obligations in the form of cash until it becomes cash-flow positive.

Legal proceedings are inherently unpredictable and, regardless of the merits of the claims, litigation may be expensive, time-consuming, and disruptive to our operations and distracting to management. If resolved against us, such legal proceedings could result in excessive verdicts, injunctive relief or other equitable relief that may affect how we operate our business. Similarly, if we settle such legal proceedings, it may affect how we operate our business. Future court decisions, alternative dispute resolution awards, business expansion or legislative activity may increase our exposure to litigation and regulatory investigations. In some cases, substantial non-economic remedies or punitive damages may be sought. Adverse outcomes may result in significant monetary damages or injunctive relief that could adversely affect our ability to conduct our business.

We are in an intensely competitive industry and there is no assurance we will be able to compete with our competitors who have greater resources than us.

Because we are a new business, our competitors may have greater name recognition, longer operating history and significantly greater resources than we do. Further, the data services industry is a highly competitive and established market with an abundance of domestic and international firms offering services similar to ours. In addition, current and potential competitors have established, and may in the future establish, cooperative relationships with vendors of complementary services, technologies, or services to increase the availability of their solutions in the marketplace. Accordingly, new competitors or alliances may emerge that have greater market share, a larger customer base, more widely adopted proprietary technologies, greater marketing expertise, greater financial resources, and larger sales forces than we have, which could put us at a competitive disadvantage. Further, our current or potential competitors may be acquired by third parties with greater available resources. As a result, our competitors may be able to respond more quickly and effectively than we can to new or changing opportunities, technologies, standards or customer and patient requirements and may have the ability to initiate or withstand substantial price competition.

Rapid technological change in our industry presents us with significant risks and challenges.

Our success will depend on our ability to enhance our solution with next-generation technologies and to develop or to acquire and market new services to access new consumer populations. There is no guarantee that we will possess the resources, either financial or personnel, for the research, design and development of new applications or services, or that we will be able to utilize these resources successfully and avoid technological or market obsolescence. Further, there can be no assurance that technological advances by one or more of our competitors or future competitors will not result in our present or future software-based products and services becoming uncompetitive or obsolete.

If we do not manage our strategy effectively, our revenue, business and operating results may be harmed.

We have not yet generated significant revenues from our present operations and may not do so for an indefinite period of time. Our future revenues and profitability depend upon our ability to successfully implement a growth strategy. There can be no assurance given that we will be successful in executing our growth strategy, and even if we achieve our strategic plan, that we will realize, in full or in part, the anticipated benefits we expect our strategy will achieve. The failure to realize those benefits could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Acquisitions may require greater than anticipated investment of operational and financial resources. Acquisitions and related growth may also require the integration of different services, assimilation of new employees, diversion of management and IT resources, increases in administrative costs and other additional costs associated with any debt or equity financings undertaken in connection with such acquisitions. We may not be able to effectively manage this expansion in any one or more of these areas, and any failure to do so could significantly harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations. We cannot assure you that any acquisition we undertake will be successful. Future growth will also place additional demands on our resources and may require us to hire and train additional employees. We will need to expand and acquire systems and infrastructure to accommodate our planned operations. The failure to implement our plan of operations and manage any future growth effectively will materially and adversely affect our business.

Risks Related to our Financial Condition

There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern because of our limited operating history, history of losses and financial resources, and if we are unable to generate significant revenue or secure financing, we may be required to cease or curtail our operations.

We have a history of losses. We have nominal revenues from our operations. The Report of our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm issued in connection with our audited financial statements for the calendar year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, since we have had recurring operating losses and our lack of liquidity and working capital. The Company’s continuance is dependent on raising capital and generating revenues sufficient to sustain operations. We have generated only minimal revenues from our present business plan. If we generate revenue more slowly than we anticipate, or if our operating expenses are higher than we expect, we may not be able to pay our operating expenses or achieve profitability and our financial condition could suffer. Whether we can achieve cash flow levels sufficient to support our operations cannot be accurately predicted. Unless such cash flow levels are achieved, we will need to borrow additional funds or sell debt or equity securities, or some combination thereof, to obtain funding for our operations. Such additional funding may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.

We will need additional capital to implement and fund our operations.

The extent of our capital needs will depend on numerous factors, including (i) the availability and terms of any financing available to us;(ii) the success of our newly established business plan; (iii) the level of our investment in research and development; (iv) the amount of our capital expenditures, including acquisitions; and (v) regulations applicable to our operations. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain capital in the future to meet our needs. Even if we do find a source of additional capital, we may not be able to negotiate terms and conditions for receiving the additional capital that are acceptable to us. Any future capital investments could dilute or otherwise materially and adversely affect the holdings or rights of our existing stockholders. In addition, new equity or convertible debt securities issued by us to obtain financing could have rights, preferences, and privileges senior to our Common Stock. We cannot give you any assurance that any additional financing will be available to us, or if available, will be on terms favorable to us.

We may incur additional debt in the future which may contain restrictive covenants and impair our operating flexibility.

Because we currently have no significant revenue and limited cash on hand, we must seek funds for our operational plans. If we incur additional indebtedness in the future, a portion of the cash flow we generate, if any, will be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on outstanding indebtedness. Typical loan agreements also might contain restrictive covenants, which may impair our operating flexibility. Such loan agreements would also provide for default under certain circumstances, such as failure to meet certain financial covenants. A default under a loan agreement could result in the loan becoming immediately due and payable and, if unpaid, a judgment in favor of such lender which would be senior to the rights of our stockholders. A judgment creditor would have the right to foreclose on our limited assets resulting in a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition.

We have identified weaknesses in our internal controls, and we cannot provide assurances that these weaknesses will be effectively remediated, or that additional material weaknesses will not occur in the future.

As a public company, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We expect that the requirements of these rules and regulations will continue to increase our legal, accounting, and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time consuming and costly, and place significant strain on our personnel, systems, and resources.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures, and internal control over financial reporting.

We do not yet have effective disclosure controls and procedures, or internal controls over all aspects of our financial reporting. We are continuing to develop and refine our disclosure controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we will file with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, 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 policies or procedures may deteriorate.

We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. 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 financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weaknesses identified to date include (i) lack of segregation of duties and (ii) lack of sufficient resources to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit to the SEC are recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. As such, our internal controls over financial reporting were not designed or operating effectively.

We will be required to expend time and resources to further improve our internal controls over financial reporting, including by expanding our staff. However, we cannot assure you that our internal control over financial reporting, as modified, will enable us to identify or avoid material weaknesses in the future.

We have not yet retained sufficient staff or engaged sufficient outside consultants with appropriate experience in GAAP presentation to devise and implement effective disclosure controls and procedures, or internal controls. We will be required to expend time and resources hiring and engaging additional staff and outside consultants with the appropriate experience to remedy these weaknesses. We cannot assure you that management will be successful in locating and retaining appropriate candidates; that newly engaged staff or outside consultants will be successful in remedying material weaknesses thus far identified or identifying material weaknesses in the future; or that appropriate candidates will be located and retained prior to these deficiencies resulting in material and adverse effects on our business. Our ability to retain staff with appropriate experience in GAAP presentation will also be dependent upon the revenue we generate from operations and our ability to raise sufficient funding. We believe that the material weaknesses as reported will eventually be fully remediated, upon being properly capitalized to hire the proper personnel for segregation of duties and SEC and GAAP accounting knowledge.

Our current controls and any new controls that we develop may become inadequate because of changes in conditions in our business. Further, weaknesses in our disclosure controls or our internal controls over financial reporting may be discovered in the future. Any failure to develop or maintain effective controls, or any difficulties encountered in their implementation or improvement, could harm our operating results, or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations and may result in a restatement of our financial statements for prior periods. Any failure to implement and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting could also adversely affect the results of management reports and independent registered public accounting firm audits of our internal controls over financial reporting that we will eventually be required to include in our periodic reports that will be filed with the SEC. Ineffective disclosure controls and procedures, and ineffective internal controls over financial reporting could cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial and other information, which would likely have a negative effect on the market price of our Common Stock.

Our independent registered public accounting firm is not required to audit the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting until after we are no longer a “smaller reporting company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act of 2012. At such time, our independent registered public accounting firm may issue a report that is adverse in the event it is not satisfied with the level at which our internal control over financial reporting is documented, designed, or operating. Any failure to maintain effective disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting could have a material and adverse effect on our business and operating results and cause a decline in the market price of our Common Stock.

Our operating results and liquidity needs could be negatively affected by market fluctuations and the economic downturn.

Our operating results and liquidity could be negatively affected by economic conditions generally, both in the United States and elsewhere around the world. Domestic and international equity and debt markets have experienced and may continue to experience heightened volatility and turmoil based on domestic and international economic conditions and concerns. In the event these economic conditions and concerns continue or worsen, and the markets continue to remain volatile, our operating results and liquidity could be adversely affected by those factors in many ways, including weakening demand for certain of our services and making it more difficult for us to raise funds if necessary, and our stock price may decline.

In addition, the global macroeconomic environment could be negatively affected by, among other things, a resurgence of COVID-19 or other pandemics or epidemics, instability in global economic markets, increased U.S. trade tariffs and trade disputes with other countries, instability in the global credit markets, supply chain weaknesses, instability in the geopolitical environment as a result of the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the war in the Middle East and other political tensions, and foreign governmental debt concerns. Such challenges have caused, and may continue to cause, uncertainty and instability in local economies and in global financial markets. We are actively monitoring the effects these disruptions and increasing inflation could have on our operations. These conditions make it extremely difficult for us to accurately forecast and plan future business activities.

Settlements with various leaseholders and vendors have created obligations that may hinder our ability to finance future operations

As a result of obligations to leaseholders and construction-related vendors we now have settlement agreements and consent judgements in the total amount of approximately $2.7 million. These obligations bear interest at various rates according to the local law in addition to the face amounts owed. The existence of these obligations may inhibit our ability to attain further financing.

Risks Related to Government Regulation

Privacy concerns and laws as well as evolving regulation of cloud computing, AI services, cross-border data transfer restrictions and other domestic regulations may limit the use and adoption of our services and adversely affect our business.

Regulation related to the provision of services over the Internet is evolving, as federal and state governments continue to adopt new, or modify existing, laws and regulations addressing data privacy, cybersecurity, data protection, data collection, processing, storage, hosting, transfer and use of data, generally. Data privacy laws, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”), and laws that have recently passed and/or gone into effect in many other states similarly impose new obligations on us and many of our customers, potentially as both businesses and service providers. These laws continue to evolve, and as various jurisdictions introduce similar proposals, we and our customers could be exposed to additional regulatory burdens.

In addition, various safe harbors have historically been provided to those who hosted content provided by others, such as safe harbors from monetary damages for copyright infringement arising from copyrighted content provided by customers and others and for defamation and other torts arising from information provided by customers and others. There is an increasing demand for repealing or limiting these safe harbors by either judicial decision or legislation, and we have active legal proceedings that have been impacted by the repeal or limiting of safe harbors that were previously available to us. Loss of these safe harbors may require altering or limiting some of our services or may require additional contractual terms to avoid liabilities for our customers’ misconduct.

These laws may require us to make additional changes to our practices and services to enable us or our customers to meet the new legal requirements and may also increase our potential liability exposure through new or higher potential penalties for noncompliance, including as a result of penalties, fines and lawsuits related to data breaches. Furthermore, privacy laws and regulations are subject to differing interpretations and may be inconsistent among jurisdictions. These and other requirements are causing increased scrutiny among customers and may be perceived differently from customer to customer. These developments could reduce demand for our services, require us to take on more onerous obligations in our contracts, restrict our ability to store, transfer and process data or, in some cases, impact our ability or our customers’ ability to offer our services in certain locations, to deploy our solutions, to reach current and prospective customers, or to derive insights from customer data globally.

The costs of compliance with, and other burdens imposed by, privacy laws, regulations and standards may limit the use and adoption of our services, reduce overall demand for our services, make it more difficult to meet expectations from our commitments to customers and our customers’ customers, lead to significant fines, penalties or liabilities for noncompliance, impact our reputation, or slow the pace at which we close sales transactions, in particular where customers request specific warranties and unlimited indemnity for noncompliance with privacy laws, any of which could harm our business.

Furthermore, the uncertain and shifting regulatory environment and trust climate may raise concerns regarding data privacy and cybersecurity, which may cause our customers or our customers’ customers to resist providing the data necessary to allow our customers to use our services effectively. In addition, new products we develop or acquire in connection with changing events may expose us to liability or regulatory risk. Even the perception that the privacy and security of personal information is not satisfactorily protected or does not meet regulatory requirements could inhibit sales of our products or services and could limit adoption of our cloud-based solutions.

Industry-specific regulations and other requirements and standards are evolving, and unfavorable industry-specific laws, regulations, interpretive positions or standards could harm our business.

Our customers and potential customers could conduct business in a variety of industries, including financial services, the public sector, healthcare and telecommunications. Regulators in certain industries have adopted and may in the future adopt regulations or interpretive positions regarding the use of cloud computing, AI services and other outsourced services. The costs of compliance with, and other burdens imposed by, industry-specific laws, regulations and interpretive positions may limit our customers’ use and adoption of our services and reduce overall demand for our services. Compliance with these regulations may also require us to devote greater resources to support certain customers, which may increase costs and lengthen sales cycles. In the United States, a cybersecurity Executive Order released in May 2021 may heighten future compliance and incident reporting standards in order to obtain certain public sector contracts. If we are unable to comply with these guidelines or controls, or if our customers are unable to obtain regulatory approval to use our services where required, our business may be harmed

Further, in some cases, industry-specific, regionally specific or product-specific laws, regulations or interpretive positions may impact our ability, as well as the ability of our customers, partners and data providers, to collect, augment, analyze, use, transfer and share personal and other information that is integral to certain services we provide. The interpretation of many of these statutes, regulations and rulings is evolving in the courts and administrative agencies and an inability to comply may have an adverse impact on our business and results. This impact may be particularly acute in countries that have passed or are considering passing legislation that requires data to remain localized “in country,” as this may impose financial costs on companies required to store data in jurisdictions not of their choosing and to use nonstandard operational processes that add complexity and are difficult and costly to integrate with global processes.

Further, countries are applying their data and consumer protection laws to AI, and particularly generative AI, and/or are considering legal frameworks on AI. Any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with such requirements could have an adverse impact on our business.

If the statutes and regulations in our industry change, our business could be adversely affected.

If there are changes in laws, regulations, or administrative or judicial interpretations, we may have to change our future business practices, or our business practices could be challenged as unlawful, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Risks Related to Acquisitions

Acquisitions may subject us to liability with regard to the creditors, customers, and shareholders of the sellers.

While we intend that any acquisitions that we consummate will typically be structured as asset purchase agreements in which we attempt to limit our risk and exposure relative to the respective sellers’ liabilities, we cannot guarantee that we will be successful in avoiding all liability. Creditors may seek to hold us accountable for seller debt and customers and for seller breaches of contract prior to our transactions. Occasionally, disaffected shareholders may attempt to interfere with our business acquisitions. We will attempt to minimize all of these risks through thorough due diligence, negotiating indemnities and holdbacks, obtaining relevant representations from sellers, and leveraging experienced professionals when appropriate; however, there can be no assurance that we will be able to mitigate all risks.

We may be unable to implement our strategy of acquiring companies.

Although we expect that one or more acquisition opportunities will become available in the future, we may not be able to acquire companies at all or on terms favorable to us. We will likely need additional financing for such acquisitions, but there is no assurance that we will be able to borrow funds or raise capital through the issuance of our equity on favorable terms. Certain of our larger, better capitalized competitors may seek to acquire some of the companies we may be interested in. Competition for acquisitions would likely increase acquisition prices and result in us having fewer acquisition opportunities. Depending on the type of businesses we acquire, we may have varying cost saving and/or cross-selling opportunities with the acquired business. However, there is no assurance that we will achieve anticipated cost savings and cross-selling on our acquisitions, and failure to do so may mean we overpaid for such acquisitions. In completing any acquisitions, we will rely upon the representations and warranties and indemnities made by the sellers with respect to each acquisition as well as our own due diligence investigation. We cannot be assured that such representations and warranties will be true and correct or that our due diligence will uncover all materially adverse facts relating to the operations and financial condition of the acquired companies or their customers. To the extent that we are required to pay for obligations of an acquired company, or if material misrepresentations exist, we may not realize the expected benefit from such acquisition, and we will have overpaid in cash, stock, assumed debt, seller notes, and/or earnouts for the value received in that acquisition.

Future acquisitions may result in potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities, the incurrence of indebtedness and increased amortization expense.

Future acquisitions may result in dilutive issuances of equity securities, the incurrence of debt, the assumption of known and unknown liabilities, the write-off of software development costs and the amortization of expenses related to intangible assets, all of which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We face risks arising from acquisitions that we pursue in the future.

We may pursue strategic acquisitions in the future. Risks in acquisition transactions include difficulties in the integration of acquired businesses into our operations and control environment, difficulties in assimilating and retaining employees and intermediaries, difficulties in retaining the existing clients of the acquired entities, assumed or unforeseen liabilities that arise in connection with the acquired businesses, the failure of counter parties to satisfy any obligations to indemnify us against liabilities arising from the acquired businesses, and unfavorable market conditions that could negatively impact our growth expectations for the acquired businesses. Fully integrating an acquired company or business into our operations may take a significant amount of time. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in overcoming these risks or any other problems encountered with acquisitions and other strategic transactions. These risks may prevent us from realizing the expected benefits from acquisitions and could result in the failure to realize the full economic value of a strategic transaction or the impairment of goodwill and/or intangible assets recognized at the time of an acquisition. These risks could be heightened if we complete a large acquisition or multiple acquisitions within a short period of time.

Risks Related to Our Management

Our executive officers, directors and certain key stockholders own and control a significant number of voting securities and so long as they do, they are able to control the outcome of stockholder voting.

Our executive officer, directors as well as certain other key shareholders are the owners of approximately 50% of the voting shares of the Company as of December 31, 2024 as a result of their ownership of our Series X Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series X Preferred Stock”), and Common Stock. The Series X Preferred stock votes with our outstanding shares of Common Stock at the rate of 400 votes for each share owned, one (1) vote for each common holder. As such, our board can determine the outcome of all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including the election of directors. Our management’s control of our voting securities may make it impossible to complete some corporate transactions without its support and may prevent a change in our control. In addition, this ownership could discourage the acquisition of our Common Stock by potential investors and could have an anti-takeover effect, possibly depressing the trading price of our Common Stock.

Risks Relating to Ownership of our Stock

Shares eligible for future sale may have an adverse effect on our share price.

Sales of substantial amounts of shares or the perception that such sales could occur may adversely affect the prevailing market price for our shares. We may issue additional shares in subsequent public offerings or private placements to make new investments or for other purposes. We are not required to offer any such shares to existing shareholders on a preemptive basis. Therefore, it may not be possible for existing shareholders to participate in such future share issuances, which may dilute the existing shareholders’ interests in us.

We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future.

We currently intend to retain all our future earnings to finance the growth and development of our business, and therefore, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future. We believe it is likely that our Board will continue to conclude that it is in our best interests to retain all earnings (if any) for the development of our business. In addition, the terms of any future debt agreements may preclude us from paying dividends. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of our Common Stock will be your sole source of gain for the foreseeable future.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our Common Stock will depend in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. Securities and industry analysts do not currently, and may never, publish research on our company. If no securities or industry analysts commence coverage of our company, the trading price for our stock would likely be negatively impacted. In the event securities or industry analysts initiate coverage, if one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrades our stock or publishes inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price may decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company or fail to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our stock could decrease, which might cause our stock price and trading volume to decline.

Our stock price has fluctuated in the past, has recently been volatile and may be volatile in the future, and as a result, investors in our Common Stock could incur substantial losses.

Our stock price has fluctuated in the past, has recently been volatile and may be volatile in the future. On December 13, 2024, the reported closing price of our Common Stock was $0.40, while on March 21, 2025, the reported closing sales price was $.59. For comparison purposes during the last 52 weeks prior to December 13, 2024, our stock price had a low closing price of $.02 and a high closing price of $1.00. We may incur rapid and substantial decreases in our stock price in the foreseeable future that are unrelated to our operating performance or prospects. In addition, sales of substantial amounts of our Common Stock, or the perception that such sales might occur, could adversely affect the prevailing market prices of our Common Stock and Warrants and our stock price may decline substantially in a short period of time. As a result, our stockholders could suffer losses or be unable to liquidate holdings. As a result of this volatility, investors may experience losses on their investment in our Common Stock. The market price for our Common Stock may be influenced by many factors, including the ones discussed in this section titled “Risk Factors”.

Our Common Stock has often been thinly traded, so investors may be unable to sell at or near ask prices or at all if investors need to sell shares to raise money or otherwise desire to liquidate their shares.

To date, there have been many days on which limited trading of our Common Stock took place. We cannot predict the extent to which investors’ interests will lead to an active trading market for our Common Stock or whether the market price of our Common Stock will be volatile. If an active trading market does not develop, investors may have difficulty selling our Common Stock. We are likely to be too small to attract the interest of many brokerage firms and analysts. We cannot give investors any assurance that an active public trading market for our Common Stock will develop or be sustained. The market price of our Common Stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to quarterly variations in our revenues and operating expenses, announcements of new products or services by us, significant sales of our Common Stock, including “short” sales, the operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors may deem comparable to us, and news reports relating to trends in our markets or general economic conditions.

Because we may issue preferred stock without the approval of our shareholders and have other anti-takeover defenses, it may be more difficult for a third party to acquire us and could depress our stock price.

In general, our Board may issue, without a vote of our shareholders, one or more additional series of preferred stock that may have such voting powers, full, enhanced or limited, or no voting powers, and such preferences and relative, participating, optional, or other special rights and such qualifications, limitations, or restrictions thereof as adopted by the Board, which may include enhanced dividend rights, rights of redemption, sinking funds to pay dividends, liquidation, and other rights that would be different than, and preferential to, the rights of the Common Stockholders, although our ability to designate and issue preferred stock is currently restricted by covenants in the Certificate of Designation for the Series A Amortizing Convertible Preferred Stock. Without these restrictions, our Board could issue preferred stock to investors who support us and our management and give effective control of our business to our management. Additionally, issuance of preferred stock could block an acquisition resulting in both a drop in our stock price and a decline in interest of our Common Stock. This could make it more difficult for shareholders to sell their Common Stock. This could also cause the market price of our Common Stock to drop significantly, even if our business is performing well.

Risks Related to Debt Restructuring

Redemption of all shares of Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock may lead to severe dilution of our existing shares.

The Series A Preferred Shares are subject to redemption by the Company, either in the form of cash or Common Stock, beginning January 1, 2025, at a rate of 1/36 of the total outstanding Series A Preferred Shares, over the following three years. The Common Stock redemption shall be at a 10% discount to the average of the five lowest closing prices over a 30-trading day period. The last sale price of our Common Stock on March 21, 2025, in the OTC Market was $0.59. The total value of the Series A Preferred Stock is $13,323,459. If the Company redeems all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock at a rate of $0.36 per share prior to their mandatory conversion into Common Stock (which occurs at a rate of $4.00 per share), the Company will have issued an aggregate of 33.3 million shares of Common Stock at the end of the three-year period, which could cause a dilution of over 70% to our existing shareholders.

Resales of our Common Stock in the public market by our stockholders as a result of this offering may cause the market price of our Common Stock to fall.

We are registering Common Stock issuable in connection with the Restructuring of obligations including all debts, notes, accounts payable, and certain of its previously issued preferred shares. Sales of large blocks of our Common Stock could depress the price of our Common Stock. The existence of these shares and shares of Common Stock that may be issuable upon conversion or exercise, as applicable, of outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock, warrants and options create a circumstance commonly referred to as an “overhang” which can act as a depressant to the price of our Common Stock. The existence of an overhang, whether sales have occurred or are occurring, also could make our ability to raise additional financing through the sale of equity or equity-linked securities more difficult in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate. If our existing shareholders and investors seek to convert or exercise such securities or sell a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock, such selling efforts may cause significant declines in the market price of our Common Stock. In addition, the shares of our Common Stock sold in the offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act. As a result, a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock may be sold in the public market following this offering. If there are significantly more shares of Common Stock offered for sale than buyers are willing to purchase, then the market price of our Common Stock may decline to a market price at which buyers are willing to purchase the offered Common Stock and sellers remain willing to sell our Common Stock. 

Investors who buy shares at different times will likely pay different prices.

Investors who purchase shares in this offering at different times will likely pay different prices and so may experience different levels of dilution and different outcomes in their investment results. Moreover, the Common Stock issued or issuable in connection with the Restructuring (as defined below) was at a significant premium to the then market price of the Common Stock and is derived, in substantial part, from a good faith estimate of the future value of Common Stock of the Company, which may never appreciate at our predicted levels, or worse, may plummet compared to the current stock price. If the Common Stock is sold to the investors in this offering at a similar premium, there is no guarantee that the value of our Common Stock will increase. The sale price may not accurately reflect the value of our Common Stock and may not be realized upon any subsequent disposition of the same. 

Risks Related to Cybersecurity

If our information technology systems or data, or those of third parties upon which we rely, are or were compromised, or are perceived to have been compromised, we could experience adverse consequences, including but not limited to regulatory investigations or actions; litigation; fines and penalties; disruptions of our business operations; reputational harm; loss of revenue or profits; loss of customers or sales; and other adverse consequences.

In the ordinary course of our business, we and the third parties upon which we rely, may collect, receive, store, use, transmit, disclose, transfer, disclose, make accessible, protect, secure, dispose of, transmit, share, or otherwise process proprietary, confidential, and sensitive data, including personal data (such as health-related data regarding clinical trial subjects), intellectual property, and trade secrets.

Cyberattacks, malicious internet-based activity, and online and offline fraud and other similar activities threaten the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our sensitive information and information technology systems, and those of the third parties upon which we rely. Such threats are prevalent and continue to rise, are increasingly difficult to detect, and come from a variety of sources, including traditional computer “hackers,” threat actors, “hacktivists,” organized criminal threat actors, personnel (such as through theft or misuse), sophisticated nation-states, and nation-state-supported actors. Some actors now engage and are expected to continue to engage in cyber-attacks, including without limitation nation-state actors for geopolitical reasons and in conjunction with military conflicts and defense activities. During times of war and other major conflicts, we, the third parties upon which we rely, may be vulnerable to a heightened risk of these attacks, including retaliatory cyber-attacks, that could materially disrupt our systems and operations, supply chain, and ability to produce, sell and distribute our goods and services. We and the third parties upon which we rely may be subject to a variety of threats, including, but not limited to, malicious code (such as viruses and worms), social engineering attacks (including through phishing attacks), malware (including as a result of advanced persistent threat intrusions), denial of service attacks (such as credential stuffing), credential harvesting, software bugs, server malfunctions, software or hardware failures, unauthorized access, natural disasters, fire, terrorism, successful breaches, personnel misconduct or error, or human or technological error, war and telecommunication and electrical failures.

In particular, severe ransomware attacks are becoming increasingly prevalent and severe, and can lead to significant interruptions in our operations, loss of sensitive data, reputational harm, and diversion of funds. Extortion payments may alleviate some of the negative impact of a ransomware attack, but we may be unwilling or unable to make such payments due to, for example, applicable laws or regulations prohibiting such payments. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic poses increased risks to our information technology systems and data, as more of our employees work from home, utilizing network connections outside our premises. Future or past business transactions (such as acquisitions or integrations) could expose us to additional cybersecurity risks and vulnerabilities, as our systems could be negatively affected by vulnerabilities present in acquired or integrated entities’ systems and technologies. Furthermore, we may discover security issues that were not found due diligence of such acquired or integrated entities, and it may be difficult to integrate companies into our information technology environment and security program.

We may rely on third parties (such as service providers and technologies) to process sensitive information in a variety of contexts, including without limitation third-party providers of cloud-based infrastructure, encryption and authentication technology, employee email, and other functions. Our ability to monitor these third parties’ cybersecurity practices is limited, and these third parties may not have adequate information security measures in place. If our third-party service providers experience a security incident or other interruption, we could experience adverse consequences. While we may be entitled to damages if our third-party service providers fail to satisfy their privacy or security-related obligations to us, any award may be insufficient to cover our damages, or we may be unable to recover such award. In addition, supply-chain attacks have increased in frequency and severity, and we cannot guarantee that third parties’ infrastructure in our supply chain or our third-party partners’ supply chains have not been compromised. Any of the previously identified or similar threats could cause a security incident or other incident during which our information technology systems or data could be compromised, which could result in unauthorized, unlawful, or accidental acquisition, modification, destruction, loss, alteration, encryption, disclosure of, or access to our data; it could also disrupt our ability (and that of third parties upon which we rely) to operate our business.

We may expend significant resources or modify our business activities in an effort to protect against the compromise of our information technology systems and data. Further, certain data privacy and security obligations may require us to implement and maintain specific security measures, industry standard or reasonable security measures to protect our information technology systems and data.

If we (or a third party upon whom we rely) experience a security incident or are perceived to have experienced a security incident, we may experience adverse consequences, including: government enforcement actions (for example, investigations, fines, penalties, audits, and inspections); additional reporting requirements and/or oversight; restrictions on processing data (including personal data); litigation (including class actions); indemnification obligations; negative publicity; reputational harm; monetary fund diversions; interruptions in our operations (including availability of data); financial loss; and other similar harms. Additionally, applicable data privacy and security obligations may require us to notify relevant stakeholders; such disclosures are costly, and the disclosures or the failure to comply with such requirements could lead to adverse consequences.

We face the risk of unauthorized access to or breaches of our information systems.

Cybersecurity threats are constantly evolving, making it challenging to predict, prevent, or mitigate all potential attacks. Advanced persistent threats, ransomware, and other sophisticated attacks could impair our ability to operate efficiently and securely. We face the risk of unauthorized access to or breaches of our information systems that could result in the misappropriation of sensitive information, including customer, employee, or proprietary data. These incidents could occur through malicious software, phishing attacks, or insider threats. While we have implemented comprehensive cybersecurity measures, including firewalls, encryption, and employee training, no system is completely secure. A successful attack could disrupt our operations, cause financial loss, damage our reputation, lead to regulatory penalties, and erode customer trust.

Operations and Finances may be impacted by a cybersecurity breach of our information system.

A cybersecurity breach could lead to significant financial losses, regulatory penalties, reputational harm, and operational disruptions. A significant cybersecurity event could result in the theft or destruction of our customer’s intellectual property, disruption of their operations, financial loss, severe reputational harm, and litigation expenses, which will adversely affect our financial condition. An attack could result in temporary or long-term shutdowns of critical systems, causing revenue losses and increased operating costs as we attempt to recover and restore normal operations. Cyber incidents may also result in diminished future cash flows, thereby requiring consideration of impairment of certain assets including goodwill, customer-related intangible assets, trademarks, patents, capitalized software or other long-lived assets associated with hardware or software, and inventory.

We face challenges in detection and response of cybersecurity breaches.

Despite our investments in cybersecurity measures, there is no assurance that our systems can effectively detect or respond to all cyber threats, particularly those targeting undisclosed or newly discovered vulnerabilities.

Market and Industry Data

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

The Company leases office space in Vero Beach, Florida for its headquarters operation at less than $100 per month.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company has a number of legal situations involved with the winding down of its clinic business activities. These include claims regarding certain construction contracts and cancellation of leases as noted below:

Quincy Clinic a.k.a. 1776 Curtis

On September 28, 2021, we entered into an agreement to open a clinic in Denver, Colorado, which was expected to begin operation in the first quarter of 2023 but possession of which has been relinquished to the landlords. The initial lease term is 94 months. Fixed rent payments under the initial term are approximately $1,079,000. A Final Judgment was granted on November 14, 2023, in the amount of $348,764 including interest, fees and other costs. The Company has released the property back to the leaseholder. The owner of the property has filed before the same court, an action against the Company (Case No. 2022 CV 33173, Division: 409, Consolidated with 2022CV33653) seeking to modify the final settlement for an additional $900,000. We intend to vigorously defend the Company as our position is that there is no basis for this claim.

Administrative office

On June 24, 2021, we entered into an agreement to open an administrative office in St. Louis Park, Minnesota. The initial lease term is 2.5 years. Fixed rent payments under the initial term were approximately $244,000. We believe that there is no further obligation in this situation, but we do not have such documented in writing at this time.

Gardner Debt for Equity Agreement and other obligations

The Company entered into a debt-for-equity exchange agreement with Gardner Builders Holdings, LLC (the “Creditor”) on January 7, 2022 (the “Agreement”). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company issued shares of restricted common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of MITI (the “Restricted Shares”) to the Creditor in exchange for the Company Debt Obligations, as defined below.

The Agreement settled certain accounts payable amounts owed by the Company to the Creditor (the “Accounts Payable Amount”) as well as then upcoming amounts that would become due between the date of the Agreement and April 1, 2022. The Agreement also settled incurred interest and penalties on the amounts due through January 5, 2022, as well as future interest payments on amounts to be incurred in the first quarter of 2022 (collectively, the “Additional Costs”, and combined with the Accounts Payable Amount, the “Company Debt Obligations”). The Accounts Payable Amount was $500,000, the Additional Costs were $294,912 and the conversion price was $12.50. As a result, 63,593 Restricted Shares were authorized to be issued. The Company’s Board of Directors approved the Agreement on January 5, 2022. Much of the amounts claimed by Gardner have been resolved by the settlements with the various leaseholders where Gardner had filed liens. During 2021 and through 2022 a total of $2,305,155 was paid by the Company directly to Gardner for their services. As of the date of this filing the Company is continuing an effort to negotiate a settlement of any remaining obligations to this vendor.

PART II

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

Trading Market

Our Common Stock is quoted on the OTC Pink Market with the symbol “MITI.”

On March 21, 2024, the price of our Common Stock as reported on the OTC was $0.59 and we have approximately 2,000 holders of record of our Common Stock, and approximately 7,000 shareholders including smaller holders and those with restricted shares not currently in the market.

DESCRIPTION OF OUR CAPITAL STOCK

General

The total number of shares of all classes of shares which we have authority to issue is 600,000,000 of which 500,000,000 shares are designated as “Common Stock” with a par value of $0.01 per share, and 100,000,000 shares are designated as “preferred stock.”

As of December 31, 2024, we had 9,762,258 issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, 563,077 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock issued or outstanding, 19,703 shares of our Series X Preferred Stock issued and outstanding and 25,000 shares of our Series D Preferred Stock issued.

DIVIDEND POLICY

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our Common Stock. Under the Nevada law, we may declare and pay dividends on our capital stock either out of our surplus, as defined in the relevant Nevada statutes, or if there is no such surplus, out of our net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year. If, however, the capital of our company, computed in accordance with the relevant Nevada statutes, has been diminished by depreciation in the value of our property, or by losses, or otherwise, to an amount less than the aggregate amount of the capital represented by the issued and outstanding stock of all classes having a preference upon the distribution of assets, we are prohibited from declaring and paying out of such net profits and dividends upon any shares of our capital stock until the deficiency in the amount of capital represented by the issued and outstanding stock of all classes having a preference upon the distribution of assets shall have been repaired. The Company does not intend to declare or pay any cash dividends on its Common Stock in the foreseeable future. The holders of our Common Stock are entitled to receive only such dividends (cash or otherwise) as may be declared by our Board of Directors.

Series A Preferred Stock

During FY2024 we authorized the creation of up to 3,000,000 shares of a new Series A Preferred stock which has no voting rights, and pays no dividends, but ranks superior to all other securities, except for the Series X Preferred stock which is pari parsu with the Series A Preferred stock with regard to any liquidation of assets. As of the date of this filing there are 566,085 shares of Series A Preferred stock issued and outstanding.

Series X Preferred Stock

On December 31, 2019, we issued 26,227 shares of our Series X Preferred stock in order to settle certain of the Company’s obligations. The Series X Preferred shares have a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share and will pay a 10% per year dividend based upon the liquidation value. The dividend may be paid in cash or in the issuance of restricted Common Stock. If the Company chooses to pay the dividend in restricted Common Stock the number of shares issued to fulfill the dividend payment shall be determined based on the stock price on the date of the 15^th of the month, or the following trading day if it falls on a weekend. The Series X Preferred shares have 400 votes per share and votes with our Common Stock. As of the date of this filing, the outstanding Series X Preferred shares were 19,703. From July 2023 through September 2024, with consent of the holders, the Company used an $.80 share price in computing the number of shares to be issued to satisfy the dividend requirements, even though the actual market price was substantially lower. Starting in October 2024 the Company returned to a policy of using the actual market price in determining the number of shares to be issued in satisfaction of the dividends.

Series D Preferred Stock

Each share of Series D Preferred Stock accrues dividends on a quarterly basis in arrears, at the rate of 6% per annum of the Stated Value and to be paid within 15 days after the end of each of our fiscal quarters. The Series D Preferred Stock shares rank senior to all other preferred stock of the Company except in relation to the Company’s Series X Preferred Stock with respect to the preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company. There is a single holder of the Series D Preferred shares at this time, with an accrued value of approximately $30,000.

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

Implications of Being a Smaller Reporting Company

We are a “smaller reporting company” as defined in the Exchange Act. We may take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosures available to smaller reporting companies so long as the market value of our voting and non-voting Common Stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250.0 million measured on the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, or our annual revenue is less than $100.0 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our Common Stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700.0 million measured on the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter. To the extent we take advantage of such reduced disclosure obligations, it may also make comparisons of our financial statements with other public companies difficult or impossible.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with and is qualified in its entirety by and should be read together with our financial statements and the related notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this filing. This discussion contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, as described under the heading “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.

Company Overview

Mitesco, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) was formed in the state of Delaware on January 18, 2012. On December 9, 2015, we restructured our operations and acquired Newco4pharmacy, LLC, a development stage company which sought to acquire compounding pharmacy businesses. As a part of the restructuring, we shut down our former business line. On April 24, 2020, we changed our name to Mitesco, Inc. In October 2023, the Company changed its domicile from Delaware to Nevada in order to effect reduced costs.

From 2020 through 2022, our operations were focused on establishing general practice medical clinics utilizing nurse practitioners under The Good Clinic name and development and acquisition of telemedicine technology. We opened our first The Good Clinic in Minneapolis, Minnesota in the first quarter of 2021 and had six operating clinics during the year ended December 31, 2022, with two additional sites under contract. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, we made the strategic decision to close the entire clinic operation and release our staff due to a lack of profitability. The financial results and obligations are now accounted for as “discontinued operations”.

Current Business Operations

We are a holding company seeking to provide products, services and technology.

In June 2024 we announced the formation of two (2) new wholly owned business units, Centcore, LLC (“Centcore”) that is providing data center services including cloud computing and application hosting, and Vero Technology Ventures, LLC (“VTV”), whose aim is to seek investment and acquisition opportunities, generally in the areas of cloud computing and data center related applications.

Centcore has two (2) areas of focus. The first, generic data center services, is aimed at hosting applications for a specific user, sometimes referred to as “managed services offerings” or MSO, where the client moves the software licensed from various vendors, or internally developed, into our data center where we maintain the computing, communications and backup environment. We currently offer services through a “co-location” agreement with a data center based in Melbourne, Florida, which has relationships with eight (8) other data centers worldwide. Using this approach, we have an ability to rapidly expand the size of our computing resources quickly, at minimal expense. Over time we expect to create similar situations with other data centers worldwide based on our clients’ specific needs.

The second focus involves hosting software applications developed by software vendors, from which they will sell the use of the software by their end user clients on a “cloud” basis. By taking this approach, we gain the business of the vendor, and their clients, perhaps allowing us to grow at a faster rate with lower cost of sales. We have developed the “Centcore Partner Program” where we will help promote the software vendors who are hosting in our data centers. If we are successful helping the vendor grow his business, we will have provided a “value added service”, and benefit from increased utilization of our computing resources by not only the vendor, but also his new end user clients. Our initial focus for this area is on software providers who serve the “technology infrastructure” market doing design, engineering, construction and maintenance of significant systems. We desire to create “life cycle” relationships as the design, construction and operational life of these systems includes document management and performance modeling over years, often from 5 to 20 years.

We have retained experienced professionals in the data center, cyber security and infrastructure services areas to support our needs on a per hour basis, which we believe will allow us to control our costs relative to business activity, without significant staffing internally. We have also formed an “Advisory Board” where individuals with experience in business areas where we have interest have agreed to assist us, receiving a nominal issuance of restricted common stock, in consideration of their advice.

The Vero Technology Ventures arm is actively reviewing potential early-stage cloud computing solution vendors and is developing its own artificial intelligence (A.I.) based application set (VTV) is currently involved with the formation of a new software development project aimed at applying artificial intelligence (A.I.) to the sales process for various businesses including residential real estate using cloud computing based software. This initial effort dubbed “Robo Agent”, is expected to be available for initial users in Q3 of FY2025. Later versions may include similar functionality focused on other markets, generally in a “business to consumer” (B2C) selling situation.

There are several other projects in evaluation, generally aimed at software that would operate on a cloud computing platform such as that which the Company has in its Centcore Data Center.

FY2024 Debt Restructuring

From FY2021 until late FY2022 the Company invested in an operating subsidiary, The Good Clinic, which was developing a series of primary care healthcare facilities. In late FY2022, as a result of a lack of adequate revenues and limited funding, it ceased operations. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had over $30 million in senior securities, notes and accounts payable related to that discontinued operation. In order to clear those obligations management began a restructuring which involved negotiations to reduce the overall debt, converting certain accredited institutional investors into a newly created Series A Amortizing Preferred stock (“Series A Preferred”), and all others into restricted common stock using a price per share of $4.00.

As of the date of this filing it has converted over $25 million of its obligations, representing over $20 million of its senior securities, and over $2 million of notes and accounts payable, into 2,478,179 of restricted Common Stock, and 566,085 shares of Series A Preferred stock. The Series A Preferred stock is held by six (6) accredited institutional investors, while over 40 holders of obligations of the Company elected to receive common stock using the $4 per share valuation.

Included in the above totals, effective December 31, 2024, the Company has entered into Obligation Exchange Agreements pursuant to which it has converted $580,132, including $32,132 of principal and interest, of its 2024 Bridge Notes into Series A Preferred shares, which resulted in the issuance of 23,206 shares of Series A Preferred shares to three (3) of its institutional investor. This extinguishes $580,132 of its short-term debt. As of the date of this filing all FY2024 bridge notes have been extinguished. Further, during January 2025 the Company issued 4,000 shares of its Series A Preferred shares in consideration of an investment of $100,000 by three (3) of its institutional investors.

As part of the restructuring, the Company agreed to register shares of Common Stock issued and to be issued to Series A Preferred Stockholders.

Advisory Board

The Board of Directors authorized the creation of a new Advisory Board whose participants shall include subject matter experts in certain business areas under consideration by the Company. These positions are “non-executive” and as such are not governed by Section 16 of the Securities Act. The members of the advisory board do not have the authority to vote on matters brought to the Board of Directors and may only attend a meeting of the board of directors if they are invited. Also, the members of the advisory board are not bound by fiduciary duties and are not entitled to indemnification.

The compensation for the participants shall be $60,000 per year, paid through the issuance of restricted common stock. The per share valuation to be used shall be determined by the Board of Directors based on the market of the Company’s common stock at the time of the appointment. For all appointments in FY2024 the valuation used was $.80 per share, resulting in the issuance of 75,000 shares of restricted common stock to each participant. The members of the advisory board do not have the authority to vote on matters brought to the board of directors and may only attend a meeting of the board of directors if they are invited. Also, the members of the advisory board are not bound by fiduciary duties and are not entitled to indemnification.

The members of the Advisory Board are executives whose careers have focused on infrastructure related technology, cybersecurity, data center business development and data center systems software, and digital marketing as noted here:

Results of Operations

The following period-to-period comparisons of our financial results are not necessarily indicative of results for the current period or any future periods. Further, as a result of any acquisitions of other businesses, and any additional pharmacy acquisitions or other such transactions we may pursue, we may experience large expenditures specific to the transactions that are not incident to our operations.

Comparison of the Twelve Months ending December 31, 2024, and 2023.

Revenues

We had revenues of $43,700 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, compared to $0 in the comparable period. The revenues were related to our newly formed subsidiary Centcore, LLC, and include sale of remote backup, general business applications, engineering analysis software and digital marketing related to our residential real estate software development effort.

Operating Expenses

Our total operating expenses for twelve months ended December 31, 2024, were $1,207,241. For the comparable period in 2023, the operating expenses were $2,586,668. The decrease is the result of the winding down of the Company’s clinic operations with The Good Clinic, LLC subsidiary.

Other Income and Expenses

Interest expense was $409,745 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, compared to $1,615,591 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023. The decrease was a result of reduced debt balances in the current period.

Interest expense – related parties was $28,474 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, compared to $109,502 in the prior period. The decrease was a result of reduced debt balances in the current period.

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, we recorded a gain on termination of operating lease of $869,690. There were no comparable transactions in the prior period.

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, we recorded equity investment incentives of approximately $7.6 million. There were no comparable transactions in the current period.

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, we recorded a gain on settlement of debt of $515,964 compared to $25,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023.

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, we recorded a gain on settlement of accounts payable of $2,289,283 compared to $185,487 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023.

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, we recorded a gain on sales of assets of $8,876. There were no comparable transactions in the current period.

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, we recorded a loss on settlement of true-up obligation of $119,370. There were no comparable transactions in the current period.

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, we recorded a loss on legal settlement of $18,759. There were no comparable transactions in the current period.

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, we recorded a loss of $4,585,124 on the revaluation of derivative liabilities under the default provision of certain securities, compared to a loss on revaluation of derivative liabilities of $85,773 in the prior period.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, we had a net loss available to common shareholders from discontinued operations of $0, compared to a net loss available to common shareholders from discontinued operations of $1,368,991 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, we had an overall net loss available to common shareholders of $2,842,256, compared to a net loss available to common shareholders of $15,052,144 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

To date, we have not generated sufficient revenue from operations to support our operations. We have financed our operations through the sale of equity securities and short-term borrowings. As of December 31, 2024, we had cash of approximately $3,400 compared to cash of approximately $2,800 as of December 31, 2023. Our Company’s recurring losses from operations and negative cash flows from operations and our need to raise additional funding to finance our operations raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Net cash used in operating activities was $514,409 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024. This is the result of the winding down of the Company’s clinic operations and establishing the operations of the new Centcore business, along with SEC compliance, accounting and audit-related expenses. Cash used in operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, was $759,730, of which $698,611 was related to cash used in operating activities from discontinued operations.

Net cash used in investing activities for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, was $5,000 related to the purchase of the AgingTopic. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, the Company had no investing activities.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, was $519,973, compared to $726,945 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023. Cash provided by financing activities was the result of cash proceeds from promissory notes of $548,000, offset by the repayment of principal on the SBA loan in the amount of $28,027.

At December 31, 2024, we had the following current liabilities which are payable in cash: Accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $4.4 million; notes payable of $.5 million; notes payable to related parties of $0.06 million; SBA Loan Payable of $0.4 million; property-related settlements of $2.7 million; accrued interest payable of $0.4 million; accrued interest payable to related parties of $0.02 million; and other current liabilities of $0.1 million. We also have the following liabilities which are payable in stock: derivative liabilities of $4.7 million, Series A Preferred Stock liability of $5.2 million, and preferred stock dividends payable to related parties of $0.01 million.

We have agreements from four (4) of our institutional investors to provide interim funding so that the Company may stay current with its accounting and reporting requirements under the Securities Act of 1934, settle obligations from the prior healthcare clinic operations and find a new business area to engage within. Through December 31, 2024, the total amount loaned under 12-month, 10% interest simple notes were $548,000, with roughly $250,000 attributable to accounting and compliance, $50,000 generally related to settlements and legal related, with the remaining for general expenses including T&E and communications. All amounts loaned through December 31, 2024, were converted into Series A preferred stock.

In May 2024 we reached an agreement with the holders of our Series F Preferred shares to waive all interest payments permanently beginning May 15, 2024. This creates a reduction in accrued interest of over $200,000 per month. Similar adjustments with other holders of debt and interest paying equity are expected. As of December 31, 2024, all shares of the Series F Preferred stock have been cancelled in exchange for either restricted common stock, or the newly created Series A Preferred stock.

The Company has relationships with a number of consultants who are assisting in the creation of the new business units. It is anticipated that this approach will continue indefinitely as it does not desire to create the overhead associated with a large employment force.

The following table summarizes the status of our property-related settlements as noted above and the total settlement amounts as of the date of the filing:

SBA Loan

During March 2020, in response to the COVID-19 crisis, the federal government announced plans to offer loans to small businesses in various forms, including the Payroll Protection Program, or “PPP”, established as part of the Corona Virus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) and administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”). On April 25, 2020, the Company entered an unsecured Promissory Note with Bank of America for a loan in the original principal amount of $460,400, and the Company received the full amount of the loan proceeds on May 4, 2020 (the “PPP Loan”). The PPP Loan bears interest at the rate of 1% per year. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company accrued interest in the amount of $4,632.

On July 12, 2023, the Company received confirmation of a payment plan arrangement from the SBA. Pursuant to this payment plan, the Company agreed to pay a minimum of $2,595 each month until the loan is paid in full in July 2028. The SBA confirmed the balance due on the loan, including principal and interest, was $467,117. The Company will amortize the balance due on the loan including interest at the original PPP loan rate of 1% per annum; a gain on the restructure of debt in the amount of $40,622 was recorded on this transaction during the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, and the balance of the loan was recorded at the amount of $421,788 representing the net cash flows discounted at 1%. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, the Company made principal payments of $11,555 on this loan; during the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded interest in the amount of $5,719 on this loan. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company will have incurred $4,128 of interest for this loan and made payments of $28,027.

Gardner Debt for Equity Agreement and other obligations from discontinued clinic operations

The Company entered into a debt-for-equity exchange agreement with Gardner Builders Holdings, LLC (the “Creditor”) on January 7, 2022 (the “Agreement”). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company issued shares of restricted common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of MITI (the “Restricted Shares”) to the Creditor in exchange for the Company Debt Obligations, as defined below.

The Agreement settled certain accounts payable amounts owed by the Company to the Creditor (the “Accounts Payable Amount”) as well as then upcoming amounts that would become due between the date of the Agreement and April 1, 2022. The Agreement also settled incurred interest and penalties on the amounts due through January 5, 2022, as well as future interest payments on amounts to be incurred in the first quarter of 2022 (collectively, the “Additional Costs”, and combined with the Accounts Payable Amount, the “Company Debt Obligations”). The Accounts Payable Amount was $500,000, the Additional Costs were $294,912 and the conversion price was $12.50. As a result, 63,593 Restricted Shares were authorized to be issued. The Company’s Board of Directors approved the Agreement on January 5, 2022. Much of the amounts claimed by Gardner have been resolved by the settlements with the various leaseholders where Gardner had filed liens. During 2021 and through 2022 a total of $2,305,155 was paid by the Company directly to Gardner for their services. As of the date of this filing the Company is continuing an effort to negotiate a settlement of any remaining obligations to this vendor. Based on our current discussions with Gardner we have an obligation of $2.2 million represented in the financial statements which yet to be resolved. We expect to ultimately resolve this through an equity issuance essentially in a form similar to others noted in our 2024 Restructuring Plan.

Our financial statements as of December 31, 2024, reflect total liabilities of over $13.7 million, including certain reserves for potential liabilities related to ceased operations related largely to long term lease obligations and costs related to the construction of our facilities. A substantial amount of these liabilities may be reversed on negotiations, and it is our goal to settle the remaining amounts with non-cash consideration as noted above.

There can be no assurance that all of these vendors will be willing to settle their obligations with the Company on the proposed terms, or in amounts acceptable to the Company. We remain undercapitalized and until we have resolved most of these obligations it is unlikely that we will be able to attract sufficient capital on reasonable terms to execute our business strategy. We remain committed to the resolution of these outstanding items in a fair and timely manner.

Critical Accounting Policies

We believe that the accounting policies described below are critical to understanding our business, results of operations and financial condition because they involve the use of more significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. An accounting policy is deemed to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, and any changes in the assumptions used in making the accounting estimates that are likely to occur could materially impact our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

The Company follows the guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (the “new revenue standard”) to all contracts using the modified retrospective method.

Revenue is recognized based on the following five step model:

The Company primarily earns revenue by providing generic data center services, which is aimed at hosting applications for a specific user, sometimes referred to as “managed services offerings” or MSO, where the client moves the software licensed from various vendors, or internally developed, into our data center where we maintain the computing, communications and backup environment. Data center service revenue is recognized on a monthly basis as the services are provided.

Stock-Based Compensation

We recognize compensation costs to employees under FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). Under FASB ASC 718, companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share-based compensation cost for stock options is estimated at the grant date based on each option’s fair-value as calculated by the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option-pricing model. Share-based compensation arrangements may include stock options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant.

Equity instruments issued to other than employees are recorded pursuant to the guidance contained in ASU 2018-07 (“ASU 2018-07”), Improvements to Non-employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplified the accounting for share-based payments granted to non-employees for goods and services. Under the ASU 2018-07, most of the guidance on such payments to non-employees would be aligned with the requirements for share-based payments granted to employees.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset 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 estimated undiscounted future 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 in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented in the consolidated balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposal group classified as held-for-sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the consolidated balance sheet, if material.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Implications of Being a Smaller Reporting Company

We are a “smaller reporting company” as defined in the Exchange Act. We may take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosures available to smaller reporting companies so long as the market value of our voting and non-voting Common Stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250.0 million measured on the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, or our annual revenue is less than $100.0 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our Common Stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700.0 million measured on the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter. To the extent we take advantage of such reduced disclosure obligations, it may also make comparisons of our financial statements with other public companies difficult or impossible.

INDEX TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Mitesco, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Mitesco, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2024, 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, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

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 matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were 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 matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Derivatives

As described in Note 10 and 12 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements, when the Company issues debt that contains a conversion feature, it first evaluates whether the conversion feature meets the requirements to be treated as a derivative.  If the conversion feature within convertible debt meets the requirements to be treated as a derivative, the Company estimates and records the fair value of the derivative liability upon the date of issuance.  The derivative liability is revalued at the end of each reporting period. 

We identified the Company’s application of the accounting for convertible notes as a critical audit matter. The principal considerations for our determination of this critical audit matter related to the high degree of subjectivity in the Company’s judgments in determining the qualitative factors.  Auditing these judgments and assumptions by the Company involves auditor judgment due to the nature and extent of audit evidence and effort required to address these matters.

The primary procedures we performed to address these critical audit matters included the following:
