NOTE 3 – BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

The Company evaluated the acquisitions of 42 Telecom and Telvantis under ASC 805 and ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805) which clarifies the definition of a business for purposes of applying the acquisition method. Both acquisitions were determined to constitute business combinations. Under the acquisition method, the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recognized at their fair values as of the respective acquisition dates. Goodwill recognized in connection with each acquisition represents the excess of consideration transferred over the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired and reflects the expected synergies, assembled workforce, and other economic benefits anticipated from each transaction that do not qualify for separate recognition as identifiable intangible assets.

 

Acquisition of 42 Telecom Ltd.

On July 15, 2025, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Heritage Ventures Ltd. (“Heritage”) and 42 Telecom, pursuant to which Heritage transferred 100% of the issued and outstanding shares to Spectral in exchange for shares of the Company’s common stock. The acquisition closed on August 1, 2025, and the results of operations of 42 Telecom and its subsidiaries — 42 Telecom AB Ltd. (Sweden), 42 Telecom UK Ltd. (United Kingdom), and Arcus Technologies Ltd. (Malta) — have been consolidated from that date.

The total purchase price consideration was $20,000,000, consisting of the following:

 

Common stock issued

 

 

 

$12,880,000 

(1)

Contingent consideration

 

 

 

7,120,000 

(2)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Purchase price consideration

 

 

 

$20,000,000 

 

 

(1)Represents the fair value of 8,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock issued to Heritage Ventures Ltd. at closing on August 1, 2025. The shares had a marketable value of $18,400,000 based on the closing market price of $2.30 per share on the acquisition date. The fair value was adjusted to $12,880,000 to reflect a 30% discount for lack of marketability, using a Black-Scholes put option model, reflecting the 12-month lock-up period and subsequent 10-month trickle-out release restrictions applicable to the shares under the Exchange Agreement.  

(2)Represents the acquisition-date fair value of contingent consideration consisting of two components. First, up to 1,000,000 bonus shares of the Company's common stock are issuable to Heritage Ventures Ltd. contingent upon 42 Telecom achieving a consolidated net profit threshold of $1,000,000 for the year ended December 31, 2025, with pro-rata releases of 1,000,000 shares for each $1,000,000 of net profit above the threshold. Second, up to 4,307,080 additional shares are issuable to satisfy a $30,000,000 minimum valuation guarantee measured 12 months from the closing date, with additional shares issued to the extent the aggregate 30-day VWAP of all shares issued in the transaction falls below the guaranteed amount. The acquisition-date fair value of each component was determined using a risk-neutral Monte Carlo simulation incorporating the Company's projected financial results, applicable volatility assumptions, and a 30% discount for lack of marketability determined using a Black-Scholes put option model, reflecting the lock-up and trickle-out release restrictions applicable to the shares. The aggregate acquisition-date fair value of both components was determined $7,120,000 using a risk-neutral Monte Carlo simulation of projected FCCN share prices, incorporating an equity volatility factor of 90% and applicable risk-free and corporate bond discount rates to reflect counterparty risk. The contingent consideration is classified as a liability and remeasured at fair value at each reporting date with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. See Note 4 — Fair Value Measurements for the remeasured fair value as of December 31, 2025. The following table summarizes the provisional purchase price allocation to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the acquisition of 42 Telecom as of August 1, 2025:

Goodwill of $12,519,695 presented in the purchase price allocation table above represents $9,251,270 pertaining to the excess of consideration transferred over the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired as of August 1, 2025, and a $3,268,425 increase pursuant to ASC 805-740-25-8 for the recognition of a deferred tax liability on identifiable intangible assets, as further described below. Total goodwill recognized in the consolidated balance sheet is $13,210,565, reflecting the measurement period adjustment of $690,870 described below. The goodwill reflects the expected synergies from 42 Telecom's telecommunications operations, the going-concern value of the assembled workforce, and future economic benefits arising from assets that do not qualify for separate recognition at the acquisition date.

Deferred Tax Adjustment

Pursuant to ASC 805-740-25-8, the deferred tax liability of $3,268,425 presented in the purchase price allocation table above represents the temporary difference between the fair values assigned to identifiable intangible assets — developed technology $5,800,000, customer relationships $3,100,000, and trade name $600,000, totaling $9,500,000 — and their respective tax bases of $0, as the acquisition was structured as an equity acquisition for income tax purposes and no step-up in tax basis was obtained. A corresponding increase to goodwill of $3,268,425 was recorded.

Measurement Period Adjustment

During the measurement period, the Board of Directors of 42 Telecom resolved on October 31, 2025 to distribute a dividend of EUR 600,600, ($690,870) to Heritage representing 42 Telecom’s retained earnings for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company determined that the purchase price allocation included assets attributable to pre-acquisition profits that were not intended to transfer to the Company. Accordingly, the purchase price allocation was adjusted pursuant to ASC 805-10-25-13 to exclude such assets from net identifiable assets acquired, resulting in an increase to goodwill from $12,519,695 to $13,210,565. The goodwill adjustment of $690,870 was recorded at the acquisition-date EUR/USD exchange rate. The adjustment had no effect on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) or accumulated deficit. As of December 31, 2025, the dividend of EUR 600,600 remains unpaid and

is reflected in due to related party in the consolidated balance sheet Note 11 — Related Party Transactions.

The results of 42 Telecom have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the date of its acquisitions i.e. August 1, 2025. 42 Telecom’s revenue and net income included in the consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date were $21,839,868 and $1,211,954, respectively.

Acquisition of Telvantis Voice Services, Inc.

On December 29, 2025, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Telvantis. The acquisition closed on December 31, 2025. Telvantis and its subsidiaries — Phonetime, Inc. (U.S.) and Matchcom Telecommunications, Inc. (U.S.) — were consolidated as of December 31, 2025 and contributed no revenues or expenses to the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2025.

The total purchase price consideration was $34,513,000, consisting of the following:

 

Common stock issued

 

 

 

$3,407,250 

(1)

Contingent consideration

 

 

 

31,105,750 

(2)

Purchase price consideration

 

 

 

$34,513,000 

 

 

(1)Represents the fair value of 1,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock issuable to the sellers at closing. As the shares had not been formally issued as of December 31, 2025, the obligation is reflected as common stock to be issued within stockholders' equity in the consolidated balance sheet. The shares had a marketable value of $6,195,000 based on the closing market price of $4.13 per share on the acquisition date. The fair value was adjusted to $3,407,250 to reflect a 45% discount for lack of marketability, determined by an independent valuation specialist using a Black-Scholes put option model, reflecting the 12-month lock-up period and subsequent 30-month trickle-out release restrictions applicable to the shares. 

(2)Represents the acquisition-date fair value of contingent consideration consisting of two components. First, up to 8,500,000 earn-out shares of the Company's common stock are issuable to the sellers contingent upon Telvantis achieving specified performance thresholds for the year ending December 31, 2026: (i) 1,000,000 earn-out shares for each $1,000,000 of annualized net operating profit above $1,500,000, up to a maximum of 8,500,000 shares upon achievement of $10,000,000 of net operating profit; or alternatively, (ii) the equivalent number of shares upon achievement of total annualized gross revenues of $665,000,000 with an equivalent or superior operating margin as compared to 2025 results. Second, additional shares are issuable to the extent the aggregate 30-day VWAP of all shares issued in the transaction falls below a $65,000,000 minimum share value measured as of December 31, 2026, with Spectral having the option to satisfy the shortfall through issuance of additional shares or other consideration. The acquisition-date fair value of each component was determined using a risk-neutral Monte Carlo simulation incorporating correlated gross revenue and operating profit projections, a gross revenue volatility factor of 25%, an operating profit volatility factor of 65%, an 80% correlation between gross revenue and operating profit., and a 45% discount for lack of marketability determined using a Black-Scholes put option model, reflecting the 12-month lock-up period and subsequent 30-month trickle-out release restrictions applicable to the shares. The aggregate acquisition-date fair value of both components was $31,105,750. The contingent consideration is classified as a liability and remeasured at fair value at each  

reporting date with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. See Note 4 — Fair Value Measurements for the remeasured fair value as of December 31, 2025.

Goodwill of $35,486,899 represents $33,248,782 the excess of consideration transferred over the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired as of December 31, 2025, and a $2,238,117 increase pursuant to ASC 805-740-25-8 for the recognition of a deferred tax liability on identifiable intangible assets as further described below. The goodwill reflects the expected synergies from combining Telvantis’ voice termination and telecommunications services with Spectral's platform, the going-concern value of the assembled workforce, and future economic benefits arising from assets that do not qualify for separate recognition at the acquisition date. The purchase price allocation as of December 31, 2025 is subject to adjustment within the 12-month measurement period ending December 31, 2026.

Deferred Tax Adjustment

Pursuant to ASC 805-740-25-8, the deferred tax liability of $2,238,117 presented in the purchase price allocation table above represents the temporary difference between the fair values assigned to identifiable intangible assets — customer relationships $10,700,000 and trade name $3,100,000, totaling $13,800,000 — and their respective tax bases of $0, as the acquisition was structured as an equity acquisition for income tax purposes and no step-up in tax basis was obtained. A corresponding increase to goodwill of $2,238,117 was recorded in the consolidated balance sheet.

Neither the 42 Telecom nor the Telvantis acquisition was structured as an asset acquisition for income tax purposes; accordingly, goodwill recognized in connection with each acquisition is not deductible for income tax purposes.
