NOTE 9 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

42 Telecom Acquisition

On July 7, 2025, the Company entered into a Definitive Share Exchange Agreement with Heritage Ventures Ltd. (“Heritage”), an Irish corporation, and 42 Telecom Ltd. (“42 Telecom”), a Maltese corporation. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company acquired 100 of the outstanding capital stock of 42 Telecom in exchange for 8,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, plus 8,000,000 escrow shares subject to performance-based and valuation-adjustment provisions (see Note 3 – Business Combinations).

 

 

Under the terms of the Agreement, each Heritage holder’s beneficial ownership of the Company’s outstanding common stock is expressly limited to 4.9 percent or less at all times. This ownership limitation is intended to prevent any holder from being deemed an “affiliate” under SEC Rule 144 and to ensure that no post-closing shareholder obtains control or significant influence over the Company’s management or policies.

 

At the time the Agreement was executed and the transaction consummated, neither Heritage nor 42 Telecom was a related party to the Company as defined in ASC 850-10-20 and PCAOB AS 2410.02-.03, since no common ownership, control, or significant influence existed. The transaction was negotiated and completed on an arm’s-length basis and approved by the independent members of the Board of Directors.

 

Accordingly, management has concluded that the share exchange does not constitute a related-party transaction for purposes of ASC 850-10-50 or Regulation S-X § 4-08(k).

 

The acquisition will be accounted for as a business combination under ASC 805, with the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed recognized at their estimated fair values as of the closing date. The Company’s post-acquisition financial statements will include the results of 42 Telecom beginning on the date of acquisition.  See Note 3 for further detail.

 

Transaction With Former Shareholder of 42 Telecom

Heritage Ventures Ltd (“Heritage”) is the 100% owner of 42 Telecom Ltd (“42”) up to the date of sale to Spectral Capital. The beneficiary owner of Heritage is Orlando Taddeo, who bought 42 Telecom Ltd (through Heritage) in September 2023. At the time, it verbally promised a share option incentive scheme to staff if 42 Telecom reached an EBITDA of €1.2 million in 2024. Further, payments were made due to the 2024 performance of 42 Telecom , but it was not something that was included in employee agreements. Employees had regular payments that were made and accrued for within the 2024 results, but this payment was separate from those. It was only last month that agreements were distributed and signed by employees, and those agreements were provided by Heritage Ventures. It was determined that 42 acted solely as a paying agent in the transaction whereby Heritage will pay cash bonuses to 42’s employees. The transaction is deemed payable in the third quarter of 2025, when the final determination was made. Heritage, as the primary obligor will record the P&L impact on its books and 42 will record the pass-through transaction. Accordingly, during the period ended September 30, 2025, the Company distributed €1.3 million to the employee and related tax payable by employees depending on their tax band.

 

42 Telecom - Other receivable

As part of the acquisition of 42 Telecom Ltd. on August 1, 2025, the Company acquired a long-term receivable from Nexora Holdings Ltd. amounting to €362,597 (approximately US $417,095). As of September 30, 2025. Nexora Holdings Ltd. is owned by a director of 42 Telecom Ltd. and is therefore considered a related party under ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures.

 

The receivable originated from an Intellectual Property Transfer Agreement dated July 1, 2025, between 42 Telecom Ltd. and Nexora Holdings Ltd. Under this agreement, 42 Telecom transferred certain proprietary software and related IP to Nexora in exchange for consideration of €362,597. The payment is subject to a five-year moratorium, during which no cash settlement is required unless Nexora generates profits directly from the transferred IP, in which case partial or full payment becomes due earlier. The receivable was recognized as part of the purchase-price allocation in connection with the 42 Telecom acquisition and remains outstanding as of September 30, 2025, with a carrying amount of US $425,159. The change in U.S. dollar equivalent from the acquisition date is solely due to foreign currency translation adjustments. Management continues to monitor the balance for collectability. No additional transactions occurred with Nexora Holdings Ltd. during the period.  The Company concluded that the IP sale did not constitute a discontinued operation as per ASC 205.

Transactions with Former Chairman and Affiliates

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company received $125,000 and $29,000, respectively, in total demand advances from the Chairman of the Board of Directors, Sean Michael Brehm. These advances are documented under a promissory note dated November 14, 2024 (“Note”). The Note provides for up to $2,500,000 in advances under the Note by Mr. Brehm to Spectral. The Note must be repaid by the Company, including accrued interest at 4% APR at the end of five years. The Note balance may be applied to the exercise of Mr. Brehm’s options to acquire common stock in the Company at any time while the Note is outstanding. In June 2025, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Sean Brehm and affiliated entities to rescind all prior agreements and no longer owes Mr. Brehm compensation for the demand advances. As a result of the settlement, the total outstanding balance of $675,700 was relieved and recorded to additional paid-in capital.

Sean Michael Brehm, the Company’s former Chairman and a member of the board of directors, is also the sole shareholder of NNN, which the Company has acquired in exchange for 1,000,000 shares of newly designated Series Quantum Preferred Stock effective August 29, 2024; see Note 11. In connection with the acquisition, Sean Michael Brehm also purchased 5,050,000 of the Company’s common shares at $0.20 per share for a total purchase price of $1,010,000. Due to the related party and common control nature of this transaction, the acquisition was accounted for at the carrying value of the acquired net assets of NNN. Assets acquired consisted of approximately $4,955 in cash. The pre-acquisition financial results of NNN were not significant. Due to the cancellation, the initial transaction was recorded at par value.

 

Prior to the close of the acquisition, the Company paid approximately $145,000 to NNN for development services. Subsequently, on November 13, 2024, the transaction was rescinded. The 1,000,000 Series Quantum Preferred Shares that were issued have been assigned to a new Delaware corporation, controlled by Sean Michael Brehm, which was assigned the intellectual property previously owned by NNN. The new entity was recently established and had no operations.

 

The Company entered into a settlement agreement with Sean Brehm and affiliated entities to rescind all prior acquisitions and planned collaborations involving Node Nexus Network, Vogon Cloud, Quantomo, and Crwdunit. Under the agreement, Spectral retains ownership of 104 patent filings developed during the course of the collaboration. Brehm and his affiliates will pursue independent commercial development of the foregoing technologies in a separate private vehicle. All shares previously issued to Brehm and his affiliates have been returned and cancelled except for the private placement shares of 5,050,000 purchased by Brehm which were fully paid for. As of September 30, 2025, these entities did not have any assets or liability as to be reflected as discontinued operations. Additionally, the Company intends to continue the development of its intellectual property and software development on its own and does not require any resources, assets or inputs from any of the above entities or individuals to continue the development of its technologies.
