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.
The
CyberloQ Vault is a “cloud based’ security protocol that allows clients the ability to send/receive secure data without having
to use traditional e-mail which is prone to a breach. This CyberloQ service uses cloud-based encryption and a secure web portal to send/receive
confidential data, the sender and receiver both must have authenticated their position within the prescribed geo coordinates as well
as authenticate their mobile devices prior to sending/receiving any data. Thus, rendering a hack or breach utterly useless for the encrypted
data is unusable without the CyberloQ authentication component.
The
Company currently has two full-time employees — its President and Vice-President. There are no other employees of the Company at
this time.
The
Company also has a Board of Advisors comprised of individuals from the banking, business development, and technical sectors to advise
the Company as it moves forward with its business strategy. The Board of Advisors does not have any decision-making authority..
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 at 4837 Swift Road Suite 210-1 Sarasota, FL 34231, and our telephone number is 612-961-4536.
Rent is $730 per month including phone and internet.
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.
ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES
None.

Dividend
Policy and Holders

reinvestment opportunities, and other factors. There are otherwise no restrictions on the payment 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, 2021, our total assets were $264,503 compared to $27,441 in assets as of December 31, 2020. This increase in the total
assets is primarily attributed to an increase in prepaid expense and cash. Prepaid expense increased due to the issuance of 1,250,000
shares of stock to consultants valued at $537,500 per consulting agreements entered into by the Company. The amount is being amortized
over the one-year length of the contracts on a straight-line basis.
As
of December 31, 2021, our liabilities were $299,530 compared to $337,464 in liabilities as of December 31, 2020. This change in the Company’s
financial condition was due to decreases in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $67,780, and long term note payable of $1,050 partially
offset by an increase of $10,000 in loans from stockholders, and an increase in accrued interest of $20,896.
Net
cash used in operating activities for the year ending December 31, 2021 was $664,596 compared to net cash used in operating activities
for the year ended December 31, 2020 of $306,161. 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, 2021 include
stock compensation of $460,708 and loss on settlement of payables of $6,343.
Net
cash used by investing activities for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $0.
Net
cash provided by financing activities was $692,150 for the year ended December 31, 2021 as compared to $332,266 for the year ending December
31, 2020. Specifically, proceeds from common stock issuance were $490,200 for the year ended December 31, 2021as compared to $76,666
for the year ended December 31, 2020, and proceeds from common stock to be issued was $193,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021 as
compared to $60,000 for the year ended December 31, 2020. Conversely, proceeds from notes payable were $22,500 for the year ended December
31, 2021compared to $232,100 for the year ended December 31, 2020.
The
Company had operating revenue of $197 in 2021 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 2022. 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, 2021 and 2020
The
Company experienced a net loss of $1,087,712 for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to net loss of $983,271 for the year ended
December 31, 2020.
This
increase in the Company’s net loss was primarily due to a substantial increase in professional fees as well as research and development
fees, partially offset by substantial decreases in software impairment expenses and depreciation expenses.
Service
revenue was $197 for 2021 in comparison to $19,944 for 2020. This decrease in revenue was due to the Company recognizing $14,589 of revenue
from a customer’s non-refundable two-year (beginning August 28, 2018) service contract that ended in the third quarter of 2020.
Professional
fees were $468,449 in 2021, compared to $56,483 in 2020. This increase in professional fees was due to increased consulting services
as a result of increased software development costs associated with upgrading the source code and infrastructure to accommodate increased
capacity demands and higher accounting fees during the period.
Research
and development expenses were $180,063 in 2021, compared to $2,100 in 2020. This increase in research expenses was due to increased development
costs associated with the Company’s re-factoring of the Cyberloq technology for scalability.
Officers’
compensation expense was $370,400 in 2021 as compared to $306,140 in 2020. This increase was due to an increase in stock price attributed
to Officers’ share issuances.
In
addition to the foregoing, rent expense was $9,031 for 2021, compared to $3,585 for 2020. 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, 2021 were partially offset by decreases
in the Company’s other operating expenses.
Software
impairment expense was $0 in 2021, compared to $321,735 in 2020. This decrease in software impairment expense is due to the one-time
write-off of the book value of the Cyberloq technology software fixed asset in 2020.
Depreciation
expense was $0 in 2021, compared to $122,675 in 2020. This decrease in depreciation expense was due to a one-time software impairment
expense in 2020. Since the write-off occurred in 2020, it could no longer be depreciated in 2021.
The
Company had recognition of bad debt expense of $40,000 in 2020, as opposed to no recognition of bad debt in 2021.
Computer
and internet expenses were $10,859 in 2021 as compared to $7,759 in 2020. This increase was due to additional hosting costs associated
with the Company’s private blockchain product.
Office
supplies and expenses were $6,608 in 2021, compared to $4,369 in 2020.
Sales
commissions were $0 in 2021, compared to $2,011 in 2020.
For
2021, there were no material changes in travel and entertainment and other operating expenses as compared to 2020.
In
summary, total revenue was $197 for 2021, and 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 2022 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, 2021 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, 2021 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, 2021, but not
reported.

Promoters
and Certain Control Persons
The
Company has not had a promoter at any time during the last five fiscal years.
In
addition, there are no parents of the Company.
Director
Independence
The
directors of the Company, which also include the executive officers of the Company, are not independent directors. Members of the Company’s
management may become associated with other firms involved in a range of business activities. Consequently, there are potential inherent
conflicts of interest in their acting as officers and directors of the Company. Insofar as the officers and directors are engaged in
other business activities, management anticipates they will devote as much time to the Company’s affairs as is reasonably needed.
The
officers and directors are, so long as they are officers or directors of the Company, subject to the restriction that all opportunities
contemplated by the Company’s plan of operation which come to their attention, either in the performance of their duties or in
any other manner, will be considered opportunities of, and be made available to the Company and the companies that they are affiliated
with on an equal basis. A breach of this requirement will be a breach of the fiduciary duties of the officer or director. If the Company
or the companies in which the officers and directors are affiliated with both desire to take advantage of an opportunity, then said officers
and directors would abstain from negotiating and voting upon the opportunity. However, all directors may still individually take advantage
of opportunities if the Company should decline to do so.
In
addition, the Company has a Related-Party Transactions Policy whereby the officers and directors of the Company are required to report
to the Board of Directors any activity that would cause or appear to cause a conflict of interest on his or her part. All related-party
transactions are subject to review, approval or ratification in accordance with the Related-Party Transactions Policy.
