SPECIAL
NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This
annual report on Form 10-K and the documents incorporated by reference herein contain forward-looking statements that are not
statements of historical fact and may involve a number of risks and uncertainties. These statements related to analyses and other
information that are based on forecasts of future results and estimates of amounts not yet determinable. These statements may
also relate to our future prospects, developments and business strategies. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties
and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different
from any future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by forward-looking statements.
In
some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “expects,”
“plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,”
“proposed,” “intended,” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology.
You should read statements that contain these words carefully, because they discuss our expectations about our future operating
results or our future financial condition or state other “forward-looking” information. There may be events in the
future that we are not able to accurately predict or control. Before you invest in our securities, you should be aware that the
occurrence of any of the events described in this Annual Report could substantially harm our business, results of operations and
financial condition, and that upon the occurrence of any of these events, the trading price of our securities could decline and
you could lose all or part of your investment. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements
are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, growth rates, levels of activity, performance or achievements. We are under
no duty to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this Annual Report to conform these statements to actual
results.
The
following factors are among those that may cause actual results to differ materially from our forward-looking statements:
● General economic and industry conditions;
● Out history of losses, deficits and negative operating cash flows;
● Our limited operating history;
● Industry competition;
● Environmental and governmental regulation;
● Protection and defense of our intellectual property rights;
● Reliance on, and the ability to attract, key personnel;
You
should keep in mind that any forward-looking statement made by us in this annual report or elsewhere speaks only as of the date
on which we make it. New risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and it is impossible for us to predict these events
or how they may affect us. We have no duty to, and do not intend to, update or revise the forward-looking statements in this annual
report after the date of filing, except as may be required by law. In light of these risks and uncertainties, you should keep
in mind that any forward-looking statement made in this annual report or elsewhere might not occur.
In
this annual report on Form 10-K, the terms “CLOQ,” “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our”
refer to CyberloQ Technologies, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary CyberloQ Technologies, LTD.
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Company
History
CyberloQ
Technologies Inc. (“CLOQ”, ‘We” or the “Company”) was incorporated in Nevada on February 5,
2008 as Advanced Credit Technologies, Inc. The Company changed its name to CyblerloQ Technologies, Inc on November 20, 2019. The
Company has never been the subject of any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding. The Company has never been involved
in any material reclassification, merger, or consolidation.
On
June 15, 2017, the Company created a private limited company in the United Kingdom named CyberloQ Technologies LTD. CyberloQ Technologies
LTD is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and any business that the Company has in the United Kingdom will be transacted
through CyberloQ Technologies LTD. However, to date CyberloQ Technologies LTD has had no activity, operational or otherwise.
Current
Overview of the Company
The
Company is a development-stage technology company focused on fraud prevention and credit management.
The
Company offers a proprietary software platform branded as CyberloQ®. While previously the Company licensed CyberloQ, in the
third quarter of 2017, the Company acquired the CyberloQ technology and is now the exclusive owner of CyberloQ.
CyberloQ
is a banking fraud prevention technology that is offered to institutional clients in order to combat fraudulent transactions and
unauthorized access to customer accounts. Through the use of a customer’s smart-phone, CyberloQ uses a multi-factor authentication
system to control access to a bank card, transaction type or amount, website, database or digital service. The mobile applications
for CyberloQ have been built, and have been successfully integrated into the banking ecosystem.
In
addition to CyberloQ, the Company offers a web-based proprietary software platform under the brand name TurnScor® which allows
customers to monitor and manage their credit from the privacy of their own homes. Although individuals can sign-up for TurnScor
on their own, the Company also intends to market TurnScor to certain institutional clients, where appropriate, in conjunction
with CyberloQ as a value-added benefit to offer their customers.
Furthermore,
in 2018 the Company introduced CyberloQ Vault, a secure cloud-based storage solution which allows users to store, retrieve and
share content securely.
Finally,
the Company is able to develop secure databases for clients by developing and attaching a private blockchain to the SQL database
and further securing the database through use of the Company’s CyberloQ® technology. The blockchain being developed
by the Company is a private blockchain and is an invitation-only network governed by a single entity. Entrants to the network
require permission to read, write or audit the blockchain.
The
Company currently has three full-time employees — its President, Vice-President and Chief Technology Officer. There are
no other employees of the Company at this time.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
The
Company qualifies as a smaller reporting company as defined by §229.10(f)(1) and therefore is not required to provide the
information required by this Item. However, the Company does acknowledge that there are risks associated with the business of
the Company.
We
will be competing with a variety of companies, many of which have significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other
resources than us. If we fail to attract and retain a large base of customers for our products, or if our competitors establish
a more prominent market position relative to ours, this will inhibit our ability to grow and successfully execute our business
plan. For example, Wells Fargo has introduced an “on/off” feature for their customers, Discover Card has “Freeze
It” functionality, and Ondot Systems has already been operating in the mobile card security space for quite some time. However,
the Company believes that the multi-purpose functionality of CyberloQ, along with its multi-purpose applications will give the
Company a distinct advantage by comparison. CyberloQ can be used in the banking system to protect debit/credit cards, in the Health
Care industry to protect PII (Personal Identifying Information) now that medical records are kept digitally, and can protect corporate
data bases in any industry from outside intrusion via geo-fencing. The Company believes that these distinct features, along with
the ability to “White Label” the technology for marketing partners, give the Company a distinction in the marketplace.
However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully compete with other companies in the marketplace.
In
addition, the Company could incur increased costs, decreased revenue, or suffer reputational damage in the event of a cyber-attack.
The Company’s business involves the collection, storage, processing and transmission of customers’ personal data,
including financial information. In the event that the Company’s security measures are breached due to human error, malfeasance,
system errors or vulnerabilities, or other irregularities, such breach could adversely affect our business through possible interruption
of the Company’s operations, improper disclosure of data, damage to the Company’s reputation, and/or legal exposure.
ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
None.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The
Company’s corporate office is located in the Gulf Coast Executive Business Center at 871 Venetia Bay Blvd Suite #228 Venice,

The
Company does not presently hold any investments or interests in real estate, investments in real estate mortgages or securities
of or interests in persons primarily engaged in real estate activities.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The
Company is not currently a party to any legal proceedings, nor is the Company a party to any administrative proceedings.
In
addition, the Company’s officers and directors have not been convicted in any criminal proceedings nor have they been permanently
or temporarily enjoined, barred, suspended or otherwise limited from involvement in any type of securities or banking activities.

of dividends existing at this time.
ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
The
Company qualifies as a smaller reporting company as defined by §229.10(f)(1) and therefore is not required to provide the
information required by this Item.
Liquidity,
Capital Resources and Material Changes in Financial Condition
As
of December 31, 2020, our total assets were $27,441 compared to $485,346 in assets as of December 31, 2019. This decrease in the
total assets is primarily attributed to depreciation and $321,735 impairment write-down of the CyberloQ® technology fixed
asset and a decrease in receivables, offset by an increase in cash. As a result of the depreciation recognized, the value of the
Company’s long-lived assets decreased from $444,410 as of December 31, 2019 to $0 as of December 31, 2020.
As
of December 31, 2020, our liabilities were $337,464 compared to $144,904 in liabilities as of December 31, 2019. This change
in the Company’s financial condition was due to increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $46,025, an increase
of $120,000 in loans from related parties, and an increase in long term note payable of $35,600. These increases were partially
offset by a decrease of $14,589 in customer prepayments.
Net
cash used in operating activities for the year ending December 31, 2020 was $306,161 compared to net cash used in operating activities
for the year ended December 31, 2019 of $339,623. Cash provided by or used by operating activities is driven by our net loss and
adjusted by non-cash items as well as changes in operating assets and liabilities. Non-cash adjustments for the year ended December
31, 2020 include depreciation of $122,675, $321,735 software impairment write-down, stock compensation of $36,140, loss on extinguishment
of debt of $120,000, and bad debt expense of $40,000.
Net
cash used by investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $0 as compared to $15,750 for the year ended December
31, 2019.
Net
cash provided by financing activities was $332,266 for the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to $335,000 for the year ending
December 31, 2019. Although there was no material change in the net cash provided by financing activities from 2019 to 2020, the
Company relied more on notes as opposed to stock issuances in 2020. Specifically, proceeds from common stock issuance was $76,666
for the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to $200,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019, and proceeds from common stock
to be issued was $60,000 for the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to $115,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019. Conversely,
proceeds from notes payable was $232,100 for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $30,000 for the year ended December
31, 2019.
The
Company had operating revenue of $19,944 in 2020 and is currently reliant on its ability to raise additional capital and/or debt
to continue execution of its business plan to move the Company forward towards profitability. The Company does not anticipate
any significant decrease in its operating expenses for 2021. Unless the Company begins to generate operation revenue, it will
be reliant on its ability to raise additional debt and/or capital in order to continue its operations.
Results
of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019
The
Company experienced a net loss of $983,271 for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to net loss of $521,380 for the year
ended December 31, 2019.
This
increase in the Company’s net loss was due to a one-time software impairment expense of $321,725, decrease in service revenue,
one-time losses on extinguishment of debt of $120,000 and recognition of bad debt expense of $40,000.
Service
revenue was $19,944 for 2020 in comparison to $77,185 for 2019. This decrease in revenue was due to the Company earning $50,000
in conjunction with developing and securing a customer’s data with a private blockchain and CyberloQ during 2019. The Company
did not have any similar contracts in 2020, and recognized service revenue of $5,355 from its TurnScor platform along with $14,589
in recognition of revenue from a customer’s non-refundable two-year (beginning August 28, 2018) service contract that ended
in the third quarter of 2020.
For
2020, the Company issued 2,000,000 shares of common stock in satisfaction of a promissory note in the amount of $40,000 to a related
party, resulting in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $120,000, compared to no loss on extinguishment of debt for 2019.
The Company also had recognition of bad debt expense of $40,000 in 2020, as opposed to no recognition of bad debt in 2019.
The
Company wrote-off the book value of the Cyberloq technology software fixed asset at year-end, and recorded software impairment
expense of $321,725. Even though the Company has written-off the software fixed asset, due to current accounting pronouncements,
it does not impact the intangible value of the Cyberloq technology that will continue to be used in the Company’s operations
nor the Company’s outlook for growth and sales strategies as disclosed in a press release on March 3, 2021.
In
addition to the foregoing, rent expense was $3,585 for 2020, compared to $600 for 2019. This increase was due to the Company signing
a new lease agreement in 2020.
The
foregoing drivers of the increase in the Company’s net loss for the year ended December 31, 2020 were partially offset by
decreases in the Company’s other operating expenses.
Travel
and entertainment expenses were $1,785 in 2020, compared to $25,235 in 2019. This decrease in travel and entertainment expenses
was due to decreased business travel during the year.
Stock
compensation expenses were $36,140 for 2020, compared to $60,570 for 2019. This decrease in stock compensation expenses was due
to the Company’s stock price being lower in 2020 when the stock was issued as compared to the Company’s stock price
in 2019 when the stock was issued.
Professional
fees were $56,483 in 2020, compared to $63,731 in 2019. This decrease was due to a reduction in accounting and legal fees
in 2020.
Computer
and internet expenses were $7,759 in 2020 as compared to $18,605 in 2019. This decrease was due to lower hosting costs associated
with the Company’s private blockchain product.
Other
operating expenses were $12,049 in 2020 as compared to $18,172 in 2019. This decrease was due to a reduction in advertising
costs.
Sales
commissions were $2,011 in 2020, compared to $8,259 in 2019. This decrease in sales commissions was primarily due to a decrease
in service revenue generated from the Turnscor platform
Research
and development expenses were $2,100 in 2020, compared to $6,193 in 2019. This decrease in research was due to costs incurred
in 2019 associated with updates to the Company’s website.
For
2020, there were no material changes in officers’ compensation, office supplies and expenses, or depreciation expense as
compared to 2019.
In
summary, total revenue was $19,944 for 2020. The Company is currently reliant on its ability to raise additional debt and/or capital
to continue execution of its business plan to move forward towards profitability. Whether or not there are any material changes
in operational revenues or expenses in 2021 will be highly-dependent upon the Company’s ability to enter into material revenue
contracts with customers.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The
Company qualifies as a smaller reporting company as defined by §229.10(f)(1) and therefore is not required to provide the
information required by this Item.
ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
The
Company’s Financial Statements are set forth below beginning on page F-1 of this Form 10-K.
None.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule
13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in
the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods
specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls
and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits
under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive officer
or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure.
An
evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of our management of the effectiveness of the design
and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2020 in accordance with the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission’s 2013 Integrated Framework. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded
that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date to ensure that information required to be disclosed
in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in SEC rules and forms. In addition, due to its current size, the Company currently does not have sufficient
staff to maintain appropriate segregation of duties, as it pertains to application and oversight of internal control processes.
Material weaknesses have previously been identified, including lack of segregation of duties and lack of formal written policies
and procedures surrounding financial close and reporting. However, the Company anticipates that as it grows and formalizes its
internal control processes and procedures, it will add sufficient staff to perform internal control processes, as well as adequately
provided oversight to ensure processes are working as designed. Such officer also confirmed that there was no change in our internal
control over financial reporting during the three-month period ended December 31, 2020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION
There
exists no information required to be disclosed in a report on Form 8-K during the three-month period ended December 31, 2020,
but not reported.
