 Forward Looking Statements.

 Certain of the matters we discuss in this annual report may constitute forward-looking statements. You can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as "believes", "expects", "may", "will", "should", "seeks", "approximately", "intends", "plans", "estimates", "anticipates", or similar expressions which concern our strategy, plans or intentions. All statements we make relating to estimated and projected earnings, margins, costs, expenditures, cash flows, growth rates and financial results are forward-looking statements. In addition, we, through our senior management, from time to time make forward-looking public statements concerning our expected future operations and performance and other developments. All of these forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may change at any time, and, therefore, our actual results may differ materially from those we expected. We derive most of our forward-looking statements from our operating budgets and forecasts, which are based upon many detailed assumptions. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and, of course, it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results. There may be other factors not presently known to us or which we currently consider to be immaterial that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements.

 All forward-looking statements and projections attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf apply only as of the date of this Statement and are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements included in this Registration Statement. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any written or oral forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf, including any of the projections presented herein, to reflect events or circumstances after the date made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

 Emerging Growth Company

 We are an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act. We shall continue to be deemed an emerging growth company until the earliest of:

 The last day of our fiscal year during which we have had total annual gross revenues of $1.235 billion (as such amount is indexed for inflation every five (5) years by the Securities and Exchange Commission to reflect the change in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, setting the threshold to the nearest $1,000,000) or more.

 The last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of our common equity securities pursuant to an effective IPO registration statement;

 The date on which we have, during the previous three (3)-year period, issued more than $1,000,000,000 in non-convertible debt; or

 The date on which we are deemed to be a 'large, accelerated filer' as defined in section 240.12b-2 of title 17, Code of Federal Regulations, or any successor thereto.

 As an emerging growth company, we are exempt from Section 404(b) of Sarbanes Oxley. Section 404(a) requires issuers to publish information in their annual reports concerning the scope and adequacy of the internal control structure and procedures for financial reporting. This statement shall also assess the effectiveness of such internal controls and procedures. Section 404(b) requires that the registered accounting firm shall, in the same report, attest to and report on the assessment and the effectiveness of the internal control structure and procedures for financial reporting.

 As an emerging growth company, we are also exempt from Section 14A (a) and (b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which requires the shareholder approval of executive compensation and golden parachutes. These exemptions are also available to us as a Smaller Reporting Company.

 We have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(2) of the JOBS Act, which allows us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.

 Our financial statements are stated in United States Dollars (US$) and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

 In this annual report, unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars. All references to "common shares" refer to the common shares in our capital stock.

 As used in this annual report, the terms "we", "us", "our" and the "Company", refer to GlobalTech Corporation, a Nevada corporation.

 Item 1. Description of Business

 General Information

 Form and Year of Organization

 GlobalTech Corporation ("us", "we" or "our") was formed as a corporation in the state of Nevada on December 12, 2017, with the name Elko Broadband Inc. ("EBI") to engage in communications and broadband business in the country of Pakistan.

 On July 1, 2018, we enacted a "Forward Split" of our common shares, $0.0001 par value (the "Common Shares"), whereby we issued ten (10) Common Shares for each one (1) Common Share outstanding, which increased our outstanding Common Shares from 2,176,307 to 21,763,070 shares

 On December 31, 2021, we entered into a reorganization (the "Reorganization") and issued the shares pursuant to the reorganization On March 2, 2022 whereby:

 We acquired Worldcall Holding Inc, a privately held Utah corporation ("WHI");

 We issued an aggregate of 117,299,473 of the Common Shares to Babar Ali Syed, Muhammad Azhar Saeed and Mansoor Ali, the owners of 100% WHI; and

 WHI merged into the Company and ceased to exist.

 In connection with the Reorganization, we acquired the following interests:

 Through our ownership of around 55% of WorldCALL Public, Route 1 Digital (Private) Limited is a subsidiary.

 Each of the entities above is under common control due to common ownership and management.

 As a result of our ownership of 100% of Worldcall Private and FZC, we indirectly hold around 55% on a fully diluted basis of WorldCALL Public which was 55.2% in our last submission. We shall continue to witness slight variation in holding % on account of exchange rate translation as WorldCall Public's share capital comprises of ordinary shares and preference shares; preference shares are US$ denominated WorldCALL Public is licensed by Pakistan Telecommunication Authority ("PTA") and Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority ("PEMRA") and offers Long Distance & International ("LDI") services in Pakistan, re-broadcasting international/national satellite/terrestrial channels on cable television and broadband services.

 If trading of shares of the common stock of GTC on OTC Markets is not commenced by June 30, 2024, or such later date as is agreed by WHI stockholders and EBI in writing, then such non-commencement of trading shall forthwith entitle the WHI stockholders to cancel, reverse and unwind the Overall Transaction, in consequence, whereof the 117,299,473 shares of GTC, representing eighty-five percent (85%) of the voting power in GTC, that are held by the WHI Stockholders shall be returned to the EBI Shareholders, and all of the WorldCall Services Limited shares and the Ferret Consulting shares that are then held by GTC shall be returned to the WHI Stockholders, at no further cost to either side involved. On March 29, 2024 Merger and Reorganization Agreement was amended for extension in trading date specifically to June 30, 2024. On March 29, 2024 we entered in Amendment No. 7 to the agreement to extend until June 30, 2024.

 We applied for and received a Cusip Number 37892L 106 and we applied for a symbol and filing with DTC/ OTC to commence trading. We obtained Trading Symbol GLTK on November 14, 2023 after successful completion of process. We have applied with Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation ("DTC") for clearing and settlement. All requisite documents have been submitted to DTC once DTC approves trading in common shares of the Company will commence.

 Telecommunications Services

 WorldCALL Public's LDI Network provides local and international interconnect services to customers and other telecommunications providers in Pakistan using its LDI network. It is one of the largest LDI networks in Pakistan. The current capacity of WorldCALL Public's network is nearly 8 million minutes per day of traffic.

 Broadband Services

 WorldCALL Public's broadband services include digital television, analog cable television, and broadband internet services.

 Broadband makes it easy to transfer heavy data, send/receive large emails, download music, and view videos online. According to Media Partners Asia, WorldCALL Public is one of the largest Cable Television operators in Pakistan.

 Digital Television Services: For digital television services, WorldCALL Public provides a Set-top box for digital signal, which is a converter box that converts an encrypted signal from our central office to the customer's location where the signal is provided to the customer's television. Our digital television offers more than 200 channels, providing a television entertainment experience with sharper images, vibrant colors, and stereo sound. We presently have approximately 43,000 customers for our digital television at a monthly cost of between $1 to $8 which includes Internet and digital television.

 Analog Cable Television Services: For analog television services, WorldCALL Public provides a coaxial connection, which is directly connected to the customer's television. Our analog cable television offers 80+ crystal clear channels, including a wide assortment of satellite and in-house channels with a wide range of movies, news, and documentaries. We presently have approximately 700,000 customers for our analog television at a monthly cost of between $1 to $ 8. This does not include Internet.

 Internet Service: We provide internet services to our customers, that allow for data downloads and data uploads. This includes internet access, email facilities, web-page facilities, and any other related internet facility or services that we may provide from time to time.

 We use Hybrid Fiber Coaxial (HFC) to transport our signal from our central facility to distribution points within our network using fiber optics. We convert the signal at each location to an RF signal, which is transported by coaxial cable to our customer locations to provide digital and analog cable and internet. Our Hybrid Fiber Coaxial (HFC) coverage extends to nearly 200,000 home passes in Lahore and Karachi, the two largest cities of Pakistan with a combined population of 34 million, as shown by the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics. Our Cable TV coverage extends to four (4) additional cities and reaches nearly a million households. All connectivity is provided to local loop operators on fiber for further distribution on loop holder HFC infrastructure.

 We use cable modems for data connectivity where our coaxial cable is connected to a cable modem which converts the signal for download and uploads to the customer premise equipment. For FTTH (Fiber to the Home), we use Optical line termination ("OLT") and an Optical Network Termination ("ONT"). On a fiber network, the ONT/ONU is located at customer premises. The purpose of this device is to use optical fiber to connect to the passive optical network (PON) and communicate with the Internet service provider to get an Internet connection.

 Long Haul and Metro Fiber

 WorldCALL Public has deployed approximately 1,900 kilometers of metro fiber in 20 cities across Pakistan to provide its customers with internet and television service. The metro fiber network is located in dense urban centers, giving it a considerable advantage in service activation and last mile connectivity to market. WorldCALL Public has an advantage over its competitors because WorldCALL Public uses its own fiber network to transmit data and provide its broadband services to its customers, whereas competitors lease fiber from other entities, including WorldCALL Public, and then build their network to offer services to end users.

 WorldCALL Public also has 4,500 kilometers of fiber in three fully redundant ring configurations across one long haul infrastructure which will be activated in the near future. Once activated, the combination of metro fiber and long-haul infrastructure will allow coverage to approximately 3.2 million homes passed.

 Patents and Trademarks

 We do not hold any patents. World Call Public holds a trademark registered with The Trademarks Registry, Karachi, Government of Pakistan, including the "WorldCall logo".

 GOVERNMENT REGULATION

 Regulation of Telecommunications and Broadband in Pakistan

 Under the Pakistan Telecommunications (Re-organization) Act, 1996, as amended (the "Telecommunications Act"), responsibility for telecommunications regulation in Pakistan lies with the Ministry of Information Technology and Telecommunication (the "MoIT&T") and the Pakistan Telecommunications Authority (the "PTA").

 The MoIT&T is responsible for shaping and directing Pakistan's telecommunications and information technology policies. The PTA is an autonomous body that, subject to government-issued instructions and policy directives, implements policy and monitors the activities of the various market participants through licensing, tariff regulation, investigation of complaints (including arbitration of disputes between licensees) and competition. Additionally, the Competition Commission of Pakistan regulates competition within the telecommunications sector under the Competition Act, 2010.

 Telecommunications networks and services in Pakistan are principally regulated under the Telecommunications Act and the rules and regulations made thereunder (the "Telecommunications Rules"). The Telecommunications Act also defines general rules for the licensing and authorization of telecommunications networks and services and introduces principles of establishment and administration of special funds, which are intended for research and development and a universal services fund.

 Cable Television is regulated under Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) PEMRA Ordinance 2002 (and its amendments). PEMRA is an autonomous body that, subject to government-issued instructions and policy directives, implements policy and monitors the activities of the various market participants through licensing, and investigation of complaints (including arbitration of disputes between licensees).

 The industry regulated by PEMRA falls under Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (MoIB) Government of Pakistan.

 Telecom and Broadband Business Licenses

 To obtain a license to provide data transmission and voice telecommunications services in Pakistan, the PTA requires a written application supported by relevant documents, as set out in the applicable regulations, and information memoranda or advertisements in respect of the relevant license.

 To obtain a license to provide Cable TV and Media services in Pakistan, the PEMRA requires a written application supported by relevant documents, as set out in the applicable regulations, and information memoranda or advertisements in respect of the relevant license.

 Licenses for the provision of fixed telecommunications services in Pakistan are typically issued for 20 years and may be renewed on such terms and conditions, and with such fees and contributions, which are consistent with the policy of the Government of Pakistan (the "GoP") at the time of expiration. The PTA may include such additional terms as it considers appropriate, or it may decline to renew a license for various reasons, including violations of applicable license terms, laws or regulations.

 Licenses for Cable Television and Media transmission services in Pakistan are typically issued for 5 years by PEMRA and may be renewed on such terms and conditions, and with such fees and contributions, which are consistent with the policy of the Government of Pakistan (the "GoP") at the time of expiration. The PEMRA may include such additional terms as it considers appropriate, or it may decline to renew a license for various reasons, including violations of applicable license terms, laws, or regulations.

 Item 1A. Risk Factors

 Summary Risk Factors

 Our business is subject to varying degrees of risk and uncertainty. Investors should consider the risks and uncertainties summarized below, as well as the risks and uncertainties immediately following this summary. Our business operations could also be affected by factors that we currently consider to be immaterial or that are unknown to us at the present time. If any of these risks occur, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected, and the trading price of our common stock could decline or our common stock could become worthless:

 Operational and Industry Risks

 We are exposed to foreign currency exchange loss, fluctuation and translation risks related to our business in Pakistan; the international economic environment, geopolitical developments and unexpected global events could cause our business to decline; investing in emerging markets, where our operations are located, is subject to greater risks than investing in more developed markets, including significant political, legal and economic risks; and our revenue performance can be unpredictable by nature, as a large majority of our customers have not entered into long-term fixed contracts with us.

 We operate in highly competitive markets, which we expect only to become more competitive, and as a result, we may have difficulty expanding our customer base or retaining existing customers.

 We may be unable to keep pace with technological changes and evolving industry standards, which could harm our competitive position and, in turn, materially harm our business.

 We are exposed to cyber-attacks and other cybersecurity threats that may lead to compromised or inaccessible telecommunications, digital and financial services, and/or leaks or unauthorized processing of confidential information, and perceptions of such threats may cause customers to lose confidence in our services.

 The telecommunications industry is highly capital-intensive and requires substantial and ongoing expenditures of capital; and our ability to profitably provide telecommunications services depends in part on the terms of our interconnect agreements and access to third-party-owned infrastructure and networks, over which we have no direct control.

 We may also be subject to increases in license fees for some of our licenses or to obtain new licenses.

 The loss of important intellectual property rights, as well as third-party claims that we have infringed on their intellectual property rights, could significantly harm our business.

 Liquidity and Capital Risks

 Our substantial amounts of indebtedness and debt service obligations could materially decrease our cash flow, which could adversely affect our business and financial condition.

 We may not be able to raise additional capital, or we may only be able to raise additional capital at significantly increased costs.

 Risks Related to the Ownership of our Common Stock

 If WorldCALL Public issues more shares, our ownership could go below 50%.

 Provisions in our certificate of incorporation, our by-laws and Nevada law might discourage, delay, or prevent a change in control of our company or changes in our management and, therefore, depress the trading price of the Common Stock.

 We are a Controlled Company.

 No active trading market for our common stock exists, and an active trading market may not develop or be sustained following this filing.

 Stockholders may be diluted significantly through our efforts to obtain financing and satisfy obligations through the issuance of additional shares of the Common Stock.

 We have not and do not expect to declare any cash dividends to our shareholders in the foreseeable future.

 Risks Related to Our Management

 Concentration of ownership among our existing executive officers, directors and their affiliates may prevent new investors from influencing significant corporate decisions.

 We depend upon key personnel who may terminate their employment with us at any time. If we were to lose the services of any of these individuals, our business and operations might be adversely affected.

 Our management has no experience in managing day-to-day U.S. public companies; as a result, we may incur additional management-related expenses pertaining to SEC reporting obligations and SEC compliance matters.

 Our officers and directors may have conflicts of interest, which may not be resolved in your favor.

 Risks Related to SEC Reporting and Public Company Status

 If we are unable to establish appropriate internal financial reporting controls and procedures, it could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations, resulting in the restatement of our financial statements, harm our operating results, subject us to regulatory scrutiny and sanction, cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and have a negative effect on the market price for shares of the Common Stock; and we will incur increased costs and demands upon management as a result of complying with the laws and regulations affecting public companies, which could adversely affect our operating results.

 Regulatory, Compliance and Legal Risks

 The telecommunications industry is a highly regulated industry, and we are subject to an extensive variety of laws and operate in uncertain judicial and regulatory environments, which may result in unanticipated outcomes that could harm our business; violations of and changes to applicable sanctions and embargo laws, including export control restrictions, may harm our business; we could be subject to tax claims and repeated tax audits that could harm our business; changes in tax treaties, laws, rules or interpretations could have significantly adverse effects on our business, and the unpredictable tax systems in the markets in which we operate give rise to significant uncertainties and risks that could complicate our tax and business decisions; anti-terror legislation passed in Pakistan and other jurisdictions could result in additional operating costs and capital expenditures; and regulatory developments and government action on climate change issues may drive medium-to-long term increases in our operational costs.

 WorldCALL Public and Worldcall Private are incorporated in Pakistan, and their assets are in Pakistan, which may affect your rights as a shareholder, including your ability to enforce civil liabilities under U.S. securities laws.

 We are, and may in the future be, involved in, associated with, or otherwise subject to legal liability in connection with disputes and litigation with regulators, competitors, and third parties, which, when concluded, could have an adverse impact on our business.

 Our licenses are granted for specific periods and may be suspended, revoked, or we may be unable to extend or replace these licenses upon expiration, and we may be fined or penalized for alleged violations of law, regulations, or license terms.

 If WorldCALL Public issues more shares, our ownership could go below 50%.

 As a public listed company in Pakistan, WorldCALL Public may issue more rights shares, which we may not be able to exercise thus diluting our ownership in WorldCALL Public. WorldCALL Public is required to obtain consent of shareholders in order to increase additional shares, as a majority shareholder we can vote against the issuance of additional shares. However, we may allow the issuance of additional shares to manage local financing for WorldCALL Public.

 We are exposed to foreign currency exchange loss, fluctuation and translation risks related to our business in Pakistan.

 Our operations are exposed to Foreign Currency Exchange risk. Pakistan's currency has devalued against US Dollar by ~24% between 2022 and 2023. Further devaluation is expected, and the extent of the same is not quantifiable at the moment. A significant amount of our costs, expenditures and liabilities, including capital expenditures and borrowings, is denominated in U.S. dollars and Pakistan Rupees. Foreign exchange rate fluctuations can have an effect on our operations in Pakistan, specifically on a completed transaction prior to its settlement. Future transactions planned by the Company are subject to foreign exchange rates, which may make acquisition of equipment and capital expenditures un -feasible or nonproductive for the Company.

 The value of the Pakistan Rupee has experienced significant volatility in recent years in response to certain political and economic issues, and such volatility may continue and result in the depreciation of these currencies against the U.S. dollar. When the Pakistan Rupee depreciates against the U.S. dollar in a given period, the results of our business expressed in U.S. dollars will be lower period-on-period, even assuming consistent Pakistan Rupee revenue across the periods. Pakistan also experienced a high level of inflation during 2023. Our profit margins could be harmed as well if we are unable to sufficiently increase our prices to offset any significant future increase in the inflation rate, manifested in inflationary increases in salary, wages, benefits and other administrative costs, which may be difficult with our mass market and price-sensitive customer base.

 The international economic environment, geopolitical developments and unexpected global events could cause our business to decline.

 As a telecommunications company operating in Pakistan markets, our operations are subject to macroeconomic risks, geopolitical developments and unexpected global events that are outside of our control. Unfavorable economic conditions in the markets in which we operate may have a direct negative impact on the financial condition of our customers, which, in turn, will affect a significant number of our current and potential customers' spending patterns, in terms of both the products they subscribe for and usage levels. During such downturns, it may be more difficult for us to grow our business, either by attracting new customers or by increasing usage levels among existing customers, and it may be more likely that customers will downgrade or disconnect their services.

 We are exposed to other geopolitical and diplomatic developments that involve Pakistan, such as the current political upheaval in Pakistan following the no-confidence vote that resulted in the removal of Pakistan's then prime minister Imran Khan from office, as well as those which do not involve our countries of operation but have a knock-on effect on our business. For example, heightened tensions between the major economies of the world, such as the U.S. and China, can have an adverse effect on the economies in which we operate and therefore have an adverse impact on our results of operation, financial condition, and prospects.

 Our financial performance may also be affected by macroeconomic issues more broadly, including risks of inflation, deflation, stagflation, recessions, sovereign debt levels and the stability of currencies across our key markets.

 Investing in emerging markets, where our operations are located, is subject to greater risks than investing in more developed markets, including significant political, legal and economic risks.

 Our operations are located in Pakistan, which is an emerging market. Investors should fully appreciate the significance of the risks involved in investing in an emerging market company. Emerging market governments and judiciaries often exercise broad, unchecked discretion and are susceptible to abuse and corruption and the rapid reversal of political and economic policies. The political and economic relations of Pakistan are often complex and have resulted, and may in the future result, in conflicts, which could materially harm our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects.

 The economies of emerging markets are also vulnerable to market downturns and economic slowdowns in the global economy. As has happened in the past, a slowdown in the global economy or an increase in the perceived risks associated with investing in emerging economies could dampen foreign investment in these markets and materially adversely affect their economies. In addition, turnover of political leaders or parties in emerging markets as a result of a scheduled election upon the end of a term of service or in other circumstances may also affect the legal and regulatory regime in those markets to a greater extent than turnover in developed countries. Any of these developments could severely limit our access to capital and could materially harm the purchasing power of our customers and, consequently, our business. Such events could also create uncertain regulatory environments, which, in turn, could impact our compliance with license obligations and other regulatory approvals. The nature of much of the legislation in emerging markets, the lack of consensus about the scope, content and pace of economic and political reform and the rapid evolution of the legal and regulatory systems in emerging markets place the enforceability and, possibly, the constitutionality of laws and regulations in doubt and result in ambiguities, inconsistencies and anomalies. The legislation often contemplates implementing regulations that have not yet been promulgated, leaving substantial gaps in the regulatory infrastructure. Any of these factors could affect our ability to enforce our rights or our contracts or to defend our company against claims by other parties.

 Our revenue performance can be unpredictable by nature, as a large majority of our customers have not entered into long-term fixed contracts with us.

 Our primary source of revenue comes from prepaid customers, who are not required to enter into long-term fixed contracts, and we cannot be certain that these customers will continue to use our services and at the usage levels we expect. Revenue from postpaid customers represents a small percentage of our total operating revenue, and such customers can cancel our postpaid contracts with limited advance notice and without significant penalty. Furthermore, as we incur costs based on our expectations of future revenue, the sudden loss of a large number of customers or a failure to accurately predict revenue in a given market could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, or prospects.

 We operate in highly competitive markets, which we expect only to become more competitive, and as a result, may have difficulty expanding our customer base or retaining existing customers.

 The markets in which we operate are highly competitive in nature, and we expect that competition will continue to increase. Competition may be intensified by further consolidation of or strategic alliances amongst our competitors, as well as new entrants in our markets. Our financial performance has been and will continue to be significantly determined by our success in adding, retaining and engaging our customers. If our customers do not find our connectivity and internet services valuable, reliable or trustworthy, or otherwise believe competitors in our markets can offer better services, we may have difficulty retaining and engaging customers.

 Each of the items discussed immediately below regarding increased competition could materially harm our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects:

 we cannot assure you that our revenue will grow in the future, as competition puts downward pressure on the prices we offer to our customers;

 with the increasing pace of technological developments, including new digital technologies and regulatory changes impacting our industry, we cannot predict future business drivers with certainty, and we cannot assure you that we will adapt to these changes at a competitive pace,

 we may be forced to utilize more aggressive marketing schemes to retain existing customers and attract new ones that may include lower tariffs and increased incentives;

 in more mature or saturated markets, there are limits on the extent to which we can continue to grow our customer base, and the continued growth of our business and results of operations will depend, in part, on our ability to extract greater revenue from our existing customers, including through the expansion of data services and the introduction of next-generation technologies, which may prove difficult to accomplish,

 we may be unable to deliver a better customer experience relative to our competitors, or our competitors may reach customers more effectively through better use of digital and physical distribution channels, which may negatively impact our market share;

 the liberalization of the regulations in Pakistan, and/or introduction of new licensees where we operate, could greatly increase competition;

 competitors may operate more cost-effectively or have other competitive advantages such as greater financial resources, market presence and network coverage, stronger brand name recognition, higher customer loyalty and goodwill, and more control over domestic transmission lines;

 competitors may receive preferential treatment from the regulatory authorities and benefit from the resources of their shareholders;

 current or future relationships among our competitors and third parties may restrict our access to critical systems and resources;

 reduced demand for our services and the development of services by application developers could significantly impact our future profitability;

 competition from companies offering similar functionality to us may increase, including digital providers filing VOIP calling, internet messaging and other digital services which compete with our telecommunications services; further, our competitors may partner with other companies to provide integrated customer experiences, and we may be unable to implement offers, products and technology to compete with the filings of our telecommunications competitors or to support our commercial partnerships;

 our existing services could become disadvantaged as compared to those offered by competitors who can offer bundled combinations of fixed-line, broadband, public Wi-Fi, and TV; and

 as a result of the unfavorable economic circumstances in Pakistan or other countries, our customers may opt for lower-cost filings by our competitors over our products.

 We may be unable to develop additional revenue market share in markets where the potential for additional growth of our customer base is limited, and we may incur significant capital expenditures as our customers' demand new services, technologies and increased access.

 Increasing competition, market saturation and technological development have led to the increased importance of data services and access to next-generation technologies such as 4G/LTE in the markets in Pakistan. The provision of such technologies and services requires significant capital investment in capital equipment and network deployment presenting a risk where we cannot keep up with the demands of our customers. Failure to develop additional revenue market share could materially harm our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects.

 We may be unable to keep pace with technological changes and evolving industry standards, which could harm our competitive position and, in turn, materially harm our business.

 The telecommunications industry is characterized by rapidly evolving technology, industry standards and service demands, which may vary by country or geographic region. Accordingly, our future success will depend on our ability to effectively anticipate and adapt to the changing technological landscape and the resulting regulations. It is possible that the technologies or equipment we use today will become obsolete or subject to competition from new-generation technologies for which we may be unable to deploy, or obtain the appropriate license, in a timely manner or at all. If we are not able to effectively anticipate or adapt to these technological changes in the telecommunications market or to otherwise compete in a timely and cost-effective manner, we could lose customers, fail to attract new customers, experience lower ARPU or incur substantial or unanticipated costs and investments in order to maintain our customer base, all of which could materially affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects.

 Banking and other financial systems in many of our countries of operation remain underdeveloped.

 The banking and other financial systems in Pakistan are underdeveloped and/or under regulated, and laws relating to banks and bank accounts are subject to varying interpretations and inconsistent application. Uncertain banking laws may also limit our ability to attract future investment in these countries. Such banking risk cannot be completely eliminated by diversified borrowing and conducting credit analyses. In addition, underdeveloped banking and financial systems are more susceptible to a banking crisis, which would affect the capacity for financial institutions to lend or fulfill their existing obligations, or lead to the bankruptcy or insolvency of the banks from which we receive, or with which we hold, our funds, and could result in the loss of our deposits, the inability to borrow or refinance existing borrowings or otherwise negatively affect our ability to complete banking transactions in these countries.

 Liquidity and Capital Risks

 Our substantial amounts of indebtedness and debt service obligations could materially decrease our cash flow, which could adversely affect our business and financial condition.

 We have substantial amounts of indebtedness and debt service obligations. As of December 31, 2023, the outstanding principal amount of our external debt for bonds, bank loans, and other borrowings amounted to approximately US$ 6.5 million. In addition to these borrowings, we also have lease liabilities amounting to US$ 1.36 million. For more information regarding our outstanding indebtedness and debt agreements See Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis.

 Some of the agreements under which we borrow funds contain covenants or provisions that impose certain operating and financial restrictions on us, including balance sheet solvency, such as levels or ratios of earnings, debt, equity, and assets and may prevent us or our subsidiaries from incurring additional debt. In addition, capital controls and other restrictions, asset freezes, including limitations on the payment of dividends or international funds transfers, may be imposed in Pakistan, along with punitive taxes and penalties targeted at certain foreign entities which may also impact our liquidity or ability to comply with certain of the above-mentioned ratios. Involuntary deconsolidation of our Pakistan operations or both would also make it more difficult or impossible to comply with certain of these ratios. Failure to comply with these covenants or provisions may result in a default, which could increase the cost of securing additional capital, lead to accelerated repayment of our indebtedness or result in the loss of any assets that secure the defaulted indebtedness or to which our creditors otherwise have recourse. Such a default or acceleration of the obligations under one or more of these agreements (including as a result of cross-default or cross-acceleration) could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects, and in particular on our liquidity and our shareholders' equity. In addition, covenants in certain of our debt agreements could restrict our liquidity and our ability to expand or finance our future operations. For a discussion of agreements under which we borrow funds. Aside from the risk of default, given our substantial amounts of indebtedness and the limits imposed by our debt obligations, our business could suffer significant negative consequences, such as the need to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flows from operations to the repayment of our debt, thereby reducing funds available for paying dividends, working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, joint ventures and other purposes necessary for us to maintain our competitive position, flexibility, and resiliency in the face of general adverse economic or industry conditions.

 We may not be able to raise additional capital, or we may only be able to raise additional capital at significantly increased costs.

 We may need to raise additional capital in the future, including through debt financing. If we incur additional indebtedness, the risks that we now face related to our indebtedness and debt service obligations could increase.

 If we are unable to raise additional capital in the market in which we want to raise it, or at all, or if the cost of raising additional capital significantly increases, as is the case when central banks raise benchmark interest rates, we may be unable to make necessary or desired capital expenditures, take advantage of investment opportunities, refinance existing indebtedness or meet unexpected financial requirements, and our growth strategy and liquidity may be negatively affected. This could cause us to be unable to repay indebtedness as it comes due, to delay or abandon anticipated expenditures and investments or otherwise limit operations.

 While there is no guarantee that any of these methods will result in raising sufficient funds to meet our capital needs or that even if available will be on terms acceptable to us, we will be very cautious and prudent about any new capital raise given the global market uncertainties. However, we are very conscious of the dilutive effect and price pressures in raising equity-based capital.

 Operational Risks

 As a holding company with operating subsidiaries, we depend on the performance of our WorldCALL Public, our subsidiary, and its ability to pay dividends or make other transfers to us as well as the ability to make certain intercompany payments and transfers.

 We are a holding company and do not conduct any revenue-generating business operations of our own. Our principal assets are the direct and indirect equity interests we own in our operating subsidiaries, and as a result, we depend on cash dividends, distributions, loans, or other transfers received from our subsidiaries to make dividend payments to its shareholders, and service interest and principal payments on the indebtedness incurred, and to meet other obligations. The ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends and make other transfers to us is not guaranteed, as it depends on the success of their businesses and may be restricted by applicable corporate, tax, and other laws and regulations. Such restrictions include restrictions on dividends, limitations on repatriation of cash and earnings and on the making of loans and repayment of debts, monetary transfer restrictions, covenants in our financing agreements, and foreign currency exchange controls and related restrictions in certain agreements or Pakistan where WorldCALL Public operates or both. Capital controls and other restrictions, asset freezes, including limitations on the payment of dividends or international funds transfers, may be imposed in Pakistan, along with punitive taxes and penalties targeted at certain foreign entities, which may impact our ability to receive loan repayments, dividends and distributions from Pakistan.

 The inability to make payments and/or transfer funds could limit or prohibit the payment of cash dividends, distributions, the repayment of indebtedness, or payment of debt servicing obligations and thus could result in a default under any such instruments.

 Furthermore, our ability to withdraw funds and dividends from our subsidiaries and operating companies may depend on the consent of our strategic partners, where applicable, as well as the tax regimes and treaties between the U.S. and Pakistan.

 Current Company operations do not require specific governmental approvals. Like all companies, including those with multinational subsidiaries, we are subject to the laws of the countries in which we maintain subsidiaries and conduct operations. While foreign-based companies may invest in Pakistan, repatriation of their investment, in the form of dividends or other methods, requires approval of the State Bank of Pakistan.

 We are exposed to cyber-attacks and other cybersecurity threats that may lead to compromised or inaccessible telecommunications, digital and financial services, and/or leaks or unauthorized processing of confidential information, and perceptions of such threats may cause customers to lose confidence in our services.

 Due to the nature of the services that we offer, we are exposed to cybersecurity threats that could negatively impact our business activities through service degradation, alteration, or disruption, including risk of unauthorized access to our systems, networks, and data by private or state-sponsored third parties through exploiting unidentified existing or new weaknesses or flaws in our network or IT systems or disruption by computer malware or other technical or operational issues. Cybersecurity threats could also lead to the compromise of our physical assets dedicated to processing or storing customer, employee, financial data, and strategic business information, which would result in exposing this information to possible leakage, unauthorized dissemination, and loss of confidentiality.

 Our operations are conducted through our subsidiary, WorldCALL Public, and 100% owned subsidiary, Worldcall Private and FZC Each is responsible for managing its own cybersecurity risks and putting in place all operational preventive, detective and response capabilities; our operations and business continuity are dependent on how it protects and maintains its network equipment, information technology ("IT") systems and other assets. Although it devotes significant resources to the development and improvement of our IT and security systems, it is and will continue to remain vulnerable to cyber-attacks and other cybersecurity threats that could lead to compromised or inaccessible telecommunications, digital and financial services, and/or leaks or unauthorized processing of confidential information, including customer information. Its systems are vulnerable to harmful viruses and the spread of malicious software that could compromise the confidentiality, integrity or availability of technology assets. In addition, unauthorized users or hackers may access and process the customer and business information we hold, or authorized users may improperly process such data. Such risks are inherent in our business operations, and we will never be able to fully insulate ourselves from these risks. Our systems will remain vulnerable to attacks by third parties who are able to thwart the safeguards we have in place with tactics that are unforeseen or prove to be too sophisticated.

 Moreover, we may experience cyber-attacks and IT and network failures and outrages due to factors beyond our control, such as malfunction of technology assets or services caused by obsolescence, wear or defects in design or manufacturing, faults during standard or extraordinary maintenance procedures, unforeseen absence of key personnel, and the inability to protect our systems from phishing attacks. There is also a possibility that we are not currently aware of certain undisclosed vulnerabilities in our IT systems, processes, and other assets. In such an event, hackers or another cybercrime group (whether private or state-sponsored) may exploit such vulnerabilities, weaknesses or unidentified backdoors (including previously unidentified designed weaknesses embedded into network or IT equipment allowing access by private or government actors) or may be able to cause harm more quickly than we are able to mitigate (zero-day exploits). Although WorldCALL Public and WorldCALL Private have implemented cyber-security strategies for mitigating these risks, we cannot be sure that our network and information technology systems will not be subject to such issues or, if they are, that we will be able to maintain the integrity of our customers' and employees' data or that malware, other technical or operational issues or human error will not disrupt our network or systems and cause significant harm to our operations.

 The occurrence of any of the foregoing events could result in reputational harm, lawsuits, violations of applicable laws, adverse regulatory actions, an inability to operate our broadband, telecom and cable services loss of revenue from business interruption or significant additional costs. As a result of this, our customers may curtail or stop using our products and services, which could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects. In addition, the potential liabilities associated with the occurrence of any of these events and certain violations of applicable laws (including as a result of data leakage) could result in the suspension of operating licenses, imprisonment or fines for the entity and/or the individuals involved.

 Our equipment and systems are subject to disruption and failure for various reasons, which could cause us to lose customers, limit our growth, violate our licenses or reduce the confidence of our customers in our ability to securely hold their personal data.

 Our technological infrastructure and other property are vulnerable to damage or disruptions from numerous events. These include natural disasters, extreme weather and other environmental conditions, military conflicts, power outages, terrorist acts, riots, government shutdown orders, changes in government regulation, equipment or system failures or an inability to access or operate such equipment or systems, human error or intentional wrongdoings, such as breaches of our network, cyber-attacks or any other types of information technology security threats. For example, we may experience network or technology failures, or a leak or unauthorized processing of confidential customer data if our technology assets are altered, damaged, destroyed or misused by employees, third parties or other users, either intentionally or due to human error. In addition, as we operate in countries that may have an increased threat of terrorism and military conflict, incidents on or near our premises, equipment or points of sale could result in causalities, property damage, business interruption, legal liability and damage to our brand or reputation. Interruptions of services due to disruption or failure of our equipment and systems could harm our reputation and reduce the confidence of our customers to provide them with reliable services and hold their personal data. As a result, this could impair our ability to obtain and retain customers and could lead to a violation of the terms of our licenses, each of which could materially harm our business. In addition, the potential liabilities associated with these events could exceed the business interruption insurance we maintain.

 We depend on third parties for certain services and equipment, infrastructure and other products important to our business.

 We rely on third parties to provide services and products important for our operations. We currently purchase the majority of our network-related equipment from a core number of vendors, such as Cisco, Juniper, Arris, Linknat, and V-Sol. The successful build-out and operation of our networks depend heavily on obtaining adequate supplies of core and transmission telecommunications equipment, fiber optic cable and accessories, switching equipment, and other services and products on a timely basis. From time to time, we have experienced delays in receiving equipment, installation of equipment, and maintenance services, due to factors such as new and existing telecommunications regulations, customs regulations and governmental investigations or enforcement actions. If this is the case, we may experience temporary service interruptions or service quality problems.

 We do not have direct operational or financial control over our key vendors and have limited influence with respect to the manner in which these key vendors conduct their businesses. Our business, including key network and IT projects, could be materially impacted by disruptions to our key vendors' businesses or supply chains due to factors, such as significant geopolitical events, changes in law or regulation, the introduction of restrictions to curb epidemics or pandemics, as seen in the current COVID-19 pandemic, trade tensions and export and re-export restrictions. Any of these factors could affect our vendors' ability to procure goods, software or technology necessary for the service, production and satisfactory delivery of the supplies, support services, and equipment that we source from them. For example, in May and August 2019, the U.S. Department of Commerce added Huawei and 114 of its affiliates to its "Entity List", prohibiting companies globally from directly or indirectly exporting, re-exporting or transferring (in-country) all items subject to U.S. export control jurisdiction to Huawei without authorization and procuring items from Huawei when they know or have reason to know that the items were originally procured by Huawei in violation of U.S. export control regulations. Further restrictions adopted by the United States, or any other applicable jurisdiction, on Huawei, could potentially have a material adverse impact on our operations in certain markets where we are reliant on Huawei equipment or services.

 We have and may continue to outsource all or a portion of construction, maintenance services, IT infrastructure hosting and network capabilities in certain markets. For example, our data management platforms are dependent on third parties, and we have also entered into outsourcing initiatives in Pakistan As a result, our business could be materially harmed if our agreements with third parties were to terminate, if our partners experience certain negative developments (financial, legal, regulatory or otherwise), if they become unwilling or unable to service our businesses in Pakistan, or a dispute between us and such parties occurs, which causes our vendors to be unable to fulfill their obligations under our agreements with them on a timely basis, or at all. We also depend on third parties, including software providers and service providers, for our day-to-day business operations. Many of our services are sold to customers through third-party channels. These third-party resellers, agents and dealers that we use to distribute and sell products are not under our control and may stop distributing or selling our products at any time or may more actively promote the products and services of our competitors. Should this occur with particularly important resellers, agents or dealers, we may face difficulty in finding new resellers, sales agents or dealers that can generate the same level of revenue. In addition, our providers are at times subject to supply constraints, particularly when there is high demand for a particular item or when there is a shortage of components.

 We cannot assure you that our vendors will continue to provide services and products to us at attractive prices or that we will be able to obtain such services and products in the future from these or other vendors on the scale and within the time frames we require if at all. If our vendors are unable to provide us with adequate services and products or provide them in a timely manner, our ability to attract customers or offer attractive product offerings could be negatively affected, which in turn could materially harm our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects.

 We depend on our senior management, board of directors, and highly skilled personnel, and that of our subsidiaries, particularly WorldCall Public, if we are unable to retain or motivate key personnel, hire qualified personnel, or implement our strategic goals or corporate culture through our personnel, we may not be able to maintain our competitive position or to implement our business strategy.

 Our performance and ability to maintain our competitive position and to implement our business strategy are dependent on the continuity of our senior management team and highly skilled personnel. Competition for qualified personnel in our markets of operation with relevant expertise is intense, and there can be limited availability of individuals with the requisite knowledge and relevant experience of the telecommunications and digital services industries and, in the case of expatriates, the ability or willingness to accept work assignments in certain of the jurisdictions in which we operate. We have experienced in recent years and may continue to experience certain changes in key management and our board of directors.

 Furthermore, we may not succeed in instilling our corporate culture and values in our personnel, which could delay or hamper the implementation of our strategic priorities, or our compensation schemes may not always be successful in attracting, retaining and motivating our personnel. Our success is also dependent on our personnel's ability to adapt to rapidly changing environments and to perform in line with continuous innovations and industry developments. We also may, from time to time, make adjustments or changes to our operating and governance model and there is a risk in such instances that our personnel may not adapt effectively. Although we devote significant attention to recruiting, training and instilling new personnel with our corporate values and culture, there can be no assurance that our existing personnel will successfully be able to adapt to and support our strategic priorities.

 The loss of any members of our senior management or our key personnel or an inability to attract, train, retain and motivate qualified members of senior management or highly skilled personnel could have an adverse impact on our ability to compete and to implement our business strategy, which could have a significant impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects.

 The telecommunications industry is highly capital-intensive and requires substantial and ongoing expenditures of capital.

 Our business is highly capital-intensive and requires significant amounts of cash to improve and maintain our networks. The physical infrastructure in our countries of operation, including transportation networks, power generation and transmission and communications systems, is in poor condition. Supply chain issues arising from the geopolitical developments in Pakistan, from restrictions enacted as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, or from other issues, including but not limited to export control regulation and other regulations, may result in significant increases to our costs, capital expenditures or inability to access equipment and technology required for business continuity or expansion.

 We cannot provide any assurance that our business will generate sufficient cash flows from operations to enable us to fund our capital expenditures or investments. The amount and timing of our capital requirements will depend on many factors over which we have little or no control, including acceptance of and demand for our products and services, the extent to which we invest in new technology and research and development projects, the status and timing of competitive developments, and certain regulatory requirements. For example, if network usage develops faster than we anticipate, we may require greater capital investments in shorter time frames than originally anticipated, and we may not have the resources to make such investments.

 We cannot assure you that we will generate sufficient cash flows in the future to meet our capital expenditure needs, develop or enhance our products, take advantage of future opportunities or respond to competitive pressures, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects.

 We may also be subject to increases in license fees for some of our licenses or to obtain new licenses.

 Legislation in Pakistan requires that we make payments for License usage. Any significant increase in the fees payable could have a negative effect on our financial results. We expect that the fees we pay for License renewals could substantially increase in Pakistan, and any such increase could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, or prospects.

 Our ability to profitably provide telecommunications services depends in part on the terms of our interconnect agreements and access to third-party-owned infrastructure and networks, over which we have no direct control.

 Our ability to provide high-quality telecommunications services depends on our ability to secure and maintain interconnect with other operators and access to infrastructure, networks, and connections that are owned or controlled by third parties and governments. Interconnect is required to complete calls between networks and terminate on our respective networks. While we have interconnection agreements in place with other operators, we do not have direct control over the quality of their networks and the interconnect services they provide. Outages, disconnections or restrictions, including governmental, access affecting these national/international connections, can have a significant impact on our ability to offer services and data connectivity to our customers. Any difficulties or delays in interconnection with other networks and services, or the failure of any operator to provide reliable interconnectivity to us on a consistent basis, could result in a loss of customers or a decrease in traffic, which would reduce our revenues and harm our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects.

 Securing these interconnects and access on cost-effective terms is critical to the economic viability of our operations. Pakistan has limited number of international cable connections providing access to the internet, data services and telecom services and such international connectivity may be controlled by private entities and/ or national governments that may seek to control or restrict access from time to time or impose conditions on pricing and availability which may impact our access and the competitiveness of our pricing.

 The loss of important intellectual property rights, as well as third-party claims that we have infringed on their intellectual property rights, could significantly harm our business.

 We regard our copyrights, service marks, trademarks, trade names, trade secrets, know-how and similar intellectual property, including our rights to certain domain names, as important to our continued success. For example, our logo, "Worldcall", has played an important role in building brand awareness for our services and products. We rely on trademark and copyright law, trade secret protection and confidentiality or license agreements with our employees, customers, partners and others to protect our proprietary rights. However, intellectual property rights are especially difficult to protect in many of the markets in which we operate. In these markets, the regulatory agencies charged to protect intellectual property rights are inadequately funded, legislation is underdeveloped, piracy is commonplace, and the enforcement of court decisions is difficult.

 Current and new intellectual property laws may affect our ability to protect our innovations and defend against third-party claims of intellectual property rights infringement. The costs of compliance with these laws and regulations are high and are likely to increase in the future. Claims have been or may be threatened and/or filed against us for intellectual property infringement based on the nature and content in our products and services. Any such claims or lawsuits, whether with or without merit, could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources, could cause us to cease offering or licensing services and products that incorporate the challenged intellectual property or could require us to develop non-infringing products or services, if feasible, which could divert the attention and resources of our technical and management personnel. We cannot assure you that we would prevail in any litigation related to infringement claims against us. A successful claim of infringement against us could result in us being required to pay significant damages, cease the development or sale of certain products and services that incorporate the challenged intellectual property, obtain licenses from the holders of such intellectual property which may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or otherwise redesign those products to avoid infringing upon others' intellectual property rights, any of which could have a significant impact on our business and our ability to compete.

 Risks Related to the Ownership of our Common Stock

 Provisions in our certificate of incorporation, our by-laws and Nevada law might discourage, delay, or prevent a change in control of our company or changes in our management and, therefore, depress the trading price of the Common Stock.

 Provisions of our certificate of incorporation, our by-laws and Nevada law may have the effect of deterring unsolicited takeovers or delaying or preventing a change in control of our company or changes in our management, including transactions in which our stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then-current market prices. In addition, these provisions may limit the ability of stockholders to approve transactions that they may deem to be in their best interests. The existence of these provisions and anti-takeover measures could limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of the Common Stock. They could also deter potential acquirers of our company, thereby reducing the likelihood that you could receive a premium for your common stock in an acquisition.

 We are a Controlled Company

 Babar Ali Syed owns 63.30% of our issued and outstanding common shares. We are thus defined as a controlled company. Substantial risks are associated with being a controlled company as follows:

 Controlled companies may have more material weaknesses in control environments than non-controlled companies.

 Controlled companies may have more related party transactions than non-controlled companies.

 Institutional investors cite concerns with investing in controlled companies but generally do not have formal policies concerning such firms.

 Most investors report that controlled firms are less responsive to their inquiries and engage in less outreach than non-controlled firms.

 The governance provisions of controlled firms with a single class of stock often differ from those with multiclass capital structures, and in some respects more closely resemble those of non-controlled firms.

 Controlled firms with a single class of stock have more conventional governance features with respect to board accountability and shareholder rights compared to controlled firms with multiclass capital structures.

 Our board may be removed by a majority vote of the shareholders; In this case Mr. Babar Ali Syed.

 In order to mitigate the above risks, we have an independent board of directors.

 No active trading market for our common stock exists, and an active trading market may not develop or be sustained following this filing

 There has not been an active trading market for our common stock. If an active trading market for our common stock does not develop, you may not be able to sell your shares quickly or at all.

 We are an "emerging growth company," as defined in the JOBS Act, and a "smaller reporting company" within the meaning of the Securities Act, and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies or smaller reporting companies will make our securities less attractive to investors.

 We are an "emerging growth company," as defined in the JOBS Act. For as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including (1) not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, (2) reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in this filing and our periodic reports and proxy statements and (3) exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. In addition, as an emerging growth company, we are only required to provide two years of audited financial statements and two years of selected financial data in this filing. We could be an emerging growth company for up to five years, although circumstances could cause us to lose that status earlier, including if the market value of the Common Stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $700.0 million as of any November 30 before that time or if we have total annual gross revenue of $1.0 billion or more during any fiscal year before that time, after which, in each case, we would no longer be an emerging growth company as of the following December 31 or, if we issue more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during any three-year period before that time, we will cease to be an emerging growth company immediately.

 Additionally, we are a "smaller reporting company" as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements. We will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of the fiscal year in which (1) the market value of the Common Stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $250 million as of the prior February 28, or (2) our annual revenues exceeded $100 million during such completed fiscal year and the market value of our ordinary shares held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior February 28. To the extent we take advantage of such reduced disclosure obligations, it may also make a comparison of our financial statements with other public companies difficult or impossible.

 After we are no longer an "emerging growth company," we expect to incur additional management time and cost to comply with the more stringent reporting requirements applicable to companies that are deemed accelerated filers or large accelerated filers, including complying with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We cannot predict or estimate the number of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.

 Stockholders may be diluted significantly through our efforts to obtain financing and satisfy obligations through the issuance of additional shares of the Common Stock.

 Wherever possible, our Board of Directors will attempt to use non-cash consideration to satisfy obligations. In many instances, we believe that the non-cash consideration will consist of restricted shares of the Common Stock or where shares are to be issued to our officers, directors, and consultants. Our Board of Directors has authority, without action or vote of the stockholders, to issue all or part of the authorized but unissued shares of common stock. In addition, we may attempt to raise capital by selling shares of the Common Stock, possibly at a discount to the market. These actions will result in the dilution of the ownership interests of shareholders, which may further dilute common stock book value, and that dilution may be material. Such issuances may also serve to enhance existing management's ability to maintain control of the Company because the shares may be issued to parties or entities committed to supporting existing management.

 We have not and do not expect to declare any cash dividends to our shareholders in the foreseeable future.

 We have not and do not anticipate declaring any cash dividends to holders of the Common Stock in the foreseeable future. Consequently, investors may need to rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize any future gains on their investment. Investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase the Common Stock.

 We may, in the future, issue additional securities, which would reduce investors' percent of ownership and dilute the value of your investment in the Common Stock.

 Our certificate of incorporation authorizes us to issue 500,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 0 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. We had 139,763,391 shares of Common Stock and 0 shares of preferred stock outstanding. Accordingly, we may issue up to an additional 360,236,609 shares of Common Stock and 0 shares of preferred stock. The future issuance of the Common Stock may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of the Common Stock held by our then-existing shareholders. We may value any common stock issued in the future on an arbitrary basis, including for services or acquisitions, or other corporate actions that may have the effect of diluting the value of the shares held by our stockholders and might have an adverse effect on any trading market for the Common Stock. Our Board of Directors may authorize preferred stock and designate the rights, terms and preferences of that preferred stock at its discretion, including conversion and voting preferences, without notice to our shareholders.

 Risks Related to Our Management

 Concentration of ownership among our existing executive officers, directors and their affiliates may prevent new investors from influencing significant corporate decisions.

 Our President and Member of the Board of Directors beneficially own, in the aggregate, approximately 6.96% of our outstanding Common Stock. As a result, he will be able to exercise a significant level of influence over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors, amendment of our certificate of incorporation, and approval of significant corporate transactions. This influence could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of our company or changes in management and will make the approval of certain transactions difficult or impossible without the support of these stockholders.

 We depend upon key personnel who may terminate their employment with us at any time. If we were to lose the services of any of these individuals, our business and operations might be adversely affected.

 The success of our business strategy depends to a significant degree upon the continued services of key management, technical and scientific personnel, and our ability to attract and retain additional qualified personnel and managers. We depend upon the services of our key executive, Dana Green, our Chief Executive Officer, President, and Director, who devotes full-time service to us. Competition for qualified personnel is intense among companies, academic institutions, and other organizations. The ability to attract and retain personnel is adversely affected by our financial challenges. If we are unable to attract and retain key personnel and advisors, it may negatively affect our ability to successfully develop, test, commercialize and market our drug candidate. We do not maintain key man life insurance on Dana Green. Should we lose the services of Dana Green, and we are unable to replace his services with equally competent and experienced personnel, our operational goals and strategies may be adversely affected, which will negatively affect our potential revenues.

 Our management has no experience in managing day-to-day U.S. public companies; as a result, we may incur additional management-related expenses pertaining to SEC reporting obligations and SEC compliance matters.

 Dana Green is responsible for managing us, including compliance with SEC reporting obligations and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. These public reporting requirements and controls are new to management (Dana has several years of experience with other publicly traded companies) and will require us to obtain outside assistance from legal, accounting, or other professionals that will increase our costs of doing business. Should we fail to comply with SEC reporting and internal controls and procedures and to otherwise comply with other securities law provisions, our costs will increase and negatively affect our results of operations, cash flow and financial condition. Should we fail to comply with SEC reporting and internal controls and procedures, we may be subject to securities laws violations that may result in additional compliance costs or costs associated with SEC judgments or fines, both of which will increase our costs and negatively affect our potential profitability and our ability to conduct our business.

 Our officers and directors may have conflicts of interest, which may not be resolved in your favor.

 Our officers and Directors have business interests, as a result, we may compete with these companies for our officers' time and efforts, which may negatively impact our plan of operations, implementation of our business plan, and our potential profitability. These other business interests may create a conflict with our interests and those of our minority stockholders. We could compete with their other business interests for investment capital, technical resources, management time, key personnel and other opportunities. We have not entered into employment agreements with Dana Green or Dean Christensen prohibiting them from engaging in activities that compete with our business.

 Risks Related to SEC Reporting and Public Company Status

 If we are unable to establish appropriate internal financial reporting controls and procedures, it could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations, resulting in the restatement of our financial statements, harm our operating results, subject us to regulatory scrutiny and sanction, cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and have a negative effect on the market price for shares of the Common Stock.

 Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and to effectively prevent fraud. We maintain a system of internal control over financial reporting, which is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

 As a public company, we will have significant additional requirements for enhanced financial reporting and internal controls. We are required to document and test our internal control procedures in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which requires annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting and a report by our independent registered public accounting firm addressing these assessments. The process of designing and implementing effective internal controls is a continuous effort that requires us to anticipate and react to changes in our business and the economic and regulatory environments and to expend significant resources to maintain a system of internal controls that is adequate to satisfy our reporting obligations as a public company. This annual report does not include a report of management's assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting or an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm due to a transition period established by rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission for newly public companies.

 We cannot assure you that we will, in the future, identify areas requiring improvement in our internal control over financial reporting. We cannot assure you that the measures we will take to remediate any areas in need of improvement will be successful or that we will implement and maintain adequate controls over our financial processes and reporting in the future as we continue our growth. If we are unable to establish appropriate internal financial reporting controls and procedures, it could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations, resulting in the restatement of our financial statements, harm our operating results, subject us to regulatory scrutiny and sanction, cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and have a negative effect on the market price for shares of the Common Stock.

 We will incur increased costs and demands upon management as a result of complying with the laws and regulations affecting public companies, which could adversely affect our operating results.

 As a public company, we will incur significant legal, accounting, and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company, including costs associated with public company reporting and corporate governance requirements. These requirements include compliance with Section 404 and other provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as rules implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, and the NASDAQ. In addition, our management also must adapt to the requirements of being a public company. We expect complying with these rules and regulations will substantially increase legal and financial compliance costs and make some activities more time-consuming and costly.

 The increased costs associated with operating as a public company will decrease our net income or increase our net loss and may require us to reduce costs in other areas of our business or increase the prices of our products or services. Additionally, if these requirements divert our management's attention from other business concerns, they could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results.

 As a public company, we also expect that it may be more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our board of directors or as our executive officers.

 Regulatory, Compliance and Legal Risks

 The telecommunications industry is a highly regulated industry, and we are subject to an extensive variety of laws and operate in uncertain judicial and regulatory environments, which may result in unanticipated outcomes that could harm our business.

 Our operations are subject to different and occasionally conflicting laws and regulations in each of and between the jurisdictions in which we operate, which could result in market uncertainty and the lack of clear criteria. Regulatory compliance may be costly and involve a significant expenditure of resources, thus negatively affecting our financial condition. In addition, any significant changes in such laws or regulations or their interpretation, or the introduction of higher standards, additional obligations or more stringent laws or regulations, could result in significant additional costs, including fines and penalties, operational burdens and other difficulties associated with not complying in a timely manner, or at all, with new or existing legislation or the terms of any notices or warnings received from the telecommunications and other regulatory authorities. In addition, the application of the laws and regulations of any particular country is frequently unclear and may result in adverse rulings or audit findings by courts or government authorities resulting from a change in interpretation or inconsistent application of existing law.

 Internet, fixed-line, voice, content and data markets generally are subject to extensive regulatory requirements, such as strict licensing regimes, antitrust and consumer protection regulations. Our ability to provide our services is dependent on obtaining and maintaining the relevant licenses. These licenses are limited in time and subject to renewal. While we are confident in our ability to obtain renewals upon request, we may not reliably predict the financial and other conditions at which such renewals will be granted. The applicable rules are generally subject to different interpretations and the relevant authorities may challenge the positions that we take, resulting in unpredictable outcomes such as restrictions or delays in obtaining additional capacity, receiving new licenses, receiving regulatory approvals for rolling out our networks in the regions for which we have licenses, receiving regulatory approvals of our tariffs plans and importing and certifying our equipment.

 As we expand certain areas of our business and provide new services, we may be subject to additional laws and regulations. In addition, certain regulations may require us to reduce retail prices, require us to offer access to our network to other operators, or result in the imposition of fines if we fail to fulfill our service commitments. In our country of operation, we may be required to obtain approval for offers and advertising campaigns, which can delay our marketing campaigns and require restructuring of business initiatives. We may also be required to obtain approvals for certain acquisitions, reorganizations or other transactions, and failure to obtain such approvals may impede or harm our business and our ability to adjust our operations or acquire or divest of businesses or assets. Laws and regulations in some jurisdictions, specifically Pakistan oblige us to install surveillance, interception and data retention equipment to ensure that our networks are capable of allowing the government to monitor data and voice traffic on our networks.

 Regulatory requirements and compliance with such regulations may be costly and involve a significant expenditure of resources, which could impact our business operations and may affect our financial performance. We face regulatory risks and costs in each of the markets in which we operate and may be subject to additional regulations in future. In particular, our ability to compete effectively in existing or new markets could be adversely affected if regulators decide to expand the restrictions and obligations to which we are subject or extend such restrictions and obligations to new services and markets or otherwise withdraw or adopt regulations, which may cause delays in implementing our strategies and business plans and create a more challenging operating environment. Furthermore, our ability to introduce new products and services may also be affected if we do not accurately predict how existing or future laws, regulations or policies would apply to such products and services, which could prevent us from realizing a return on our investment in their development. Any failure on our part to comply with existing or new laws and regulations can result in negative publicity, the risk of prosecution or the suspension or loss of our licenses, authorizations or various permissions, diversion of management time and effort, increased competitive and pricing pressure on our operations, significant fines and liabilities, third party civil claims, and other penalties or otherwise harm our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects.

 Violations of and changes to applicable sanctions and embargo laws, including export control restrictions, may harm our business.

 Various governmental authorities have imposed significant penalties on companies that fail to comply with the requirements of applicable sanctions and embargo laws and regulations, as well as export control restrictions. We are subject to certain sanctions and embargo laws and regulations and export control restrictions of the United States, the United Nations, the European Union, the United Kingdom and Pakistan. Sanctions and embargos and export control laws and regulations generally establish the scope of their own application, which arise for different reasons and can vary greatly by jurisdiction. Additionally, risks associated with sanctions regulations may affect operations in Pakistan.

 The scope of such laws and regulations may be expanded, sometimes without notice, in a manner that could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects. For example, in the United States, Congress enacted the Export Controls Act of 2018 ("ECA"), which aims to enhance protection of U.S. technology resources by imposing greater restrictions on the transfer to non-U.S. individuals and companies, particularly through exports to China, of certain key foundational and emerging technologies and cyber-security considered critical to U.S. national security. In recent years, the Department of Commerce has also broadened the scope of U.S. export controls measures to protect a wider range of national security interests, including telecommunications technology, against perceived challenges presented by China and has introduced heightened export restrictions targeting parties identified as military end-users and military intelligence end-users. In response to these developments, countries, such as China, have also adopted sanctions countermeasures that may impact our future ability to ensure our vendors' compliance with these laws. Any telecommunication service provider, including us, can be impacted by such restrictions in its ability to procure necessary equipment and services for its operations.

 The listing of WorldCALL Public's ordinary shares on the Pakistan Stock Exchange also exposes us to increased risk that designated individuals and entities may buy, sell or otherwise transact with our shares, as there are certain brokers in the Pakistan market that are currently designated entities and certain brokers do not have policies against providing services to designated individuals or entities.

 Notwithstanding our policies and compliance controls, we may be found in the future to be in violation of applicable sanctions and embargo laws, particularly as the scope of such laws may be unclear and subject to discretionary interpretations by regulators, which may change over time. If we fail to comply with applicable sanctions or embargo laws and regulations, we could suffer severe operational, financial or reputational consequences. Moreover, certain of our financing arrangements include representations and covenants requiring compliance with or limitation of activities under sanctions and embargo laws and regulations of certain additional jurisdictions, the breach of which may trigger defaults or cross-defaults of mandatory prepayment requirements in the event of a breach thereof.

 WorldCALL Public and Worldcall Private are incorporated in Pakistan, and their assets are in Pakistan, which may affect your rights as a shareholder, including your ability to enforce civil liabilities under U.S. securities laws.

 Our operations are conducted by WorldCALL Public and WorldCall Private, which are incorporated in, and their assets are in Pakistan, which may affect your rights as a shareholder. As a result, the rights of WorldCALL Public and Worldcall Private's shareholders are governed by Pakistan law and by its governing documents. The rights of shareholders under Pakistan law may differ from the rights of shareholders of companies incorporated in other jurisdictions. As substantially all of our assets are located outside the United States, it may be difficult for investors to enforce in the United States judgments obtained in U.S. courts against WorldCALL Public and Worldcall Private or certain of our officers and directors who are located outside the U.S. based on civil liability provisions of the U.S. securities laws. Uncertainty exists as to whether courts in Pakistan will enforce judgments obtained in other jurisdictions, such as the United States, under the securities laws of the United States or entertain actions under the securities laws of the United States.

 We could be subject to tax claims and repeated tax audits that could harm our business.

 Tax declarations, together with related documentation, are subject to review and investigation by a number of authorities in many of the jurisdictions in which we operate, which are empowered to impose fines and penalties on taxpayers. Tax audits may result in additional costs to our group if the relevant tax authorities conclude that an entity of our group did not satisfy its relevant tax obligations in any given year. Such audits may also impose additional burdens on us by diverting the attention of management resources.

 Tax audits in Pakistan are conducted regularly, but their outcomes may not be fair or predictable. There can be no assurance that we will prevail in litigation with tax authorities and that the tax authorities will not claim that additional taxes, interest, fines and other penalties are owed by us for prior or future tax years or that the relevant governmental authorities will not decide to initiate a criminal investigation or prosecution, or expand existing criminal investigations or prosecutions, in connection with claims by tax inspectorates, including those relating to individual employees and for prior tax years. Should we become subject to audits, the outcome of these audits or the adverse or delayed resolution of other tax matters, including where the relevant tax authorities may conclude that we had significantly underpaid taxes relating to earlier periods, could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects.

 Changes in tax treaties, laws, rules or interpretations could have significantly adversely effect on our business, and the unpredictable tax systems in the markets in which we operate give rise to significant uncertainties and risks that could complicate our tax and business decisions.

 The introduction of new tax laws or the amendment of existing tax laws, such as those relating to transfer pricing rules or the deduction of interest expenses in the markets in which we operate, may also increase the risk of adjustments being made by the tax authorities and, as a result, could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects. For example, within the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development ("OECD"), there is an initiative aimed at avoiding base erosion and profit shifting ("BEPS") for tax purposes. This OECD BEPS project has resulted in further developments in other countries and, in particular, in the European Union.

 Our business decisions take into account certain taxation scenarios, which could be proven to be untrue in the event of an adverse decision by tax authorities or changes in tax treaties, laws, rules or interpretations. For example, we are vulnerable to changes in tax laws, regulations and interpretations in the United States, our current resident state for tax purposes, and in our other countries of operation.

 These considerations are compounded by the fact that the interpretation and enforcement of tax laws in the emerging markets in which we operate tend to be unpredictable and give rise to significant uncertainties, which could complicate our tax planning and business decisions. Any additional tax liability imposed on us by tax authorities in this manner, as well as any unforeseen changes in applicable tax laws or changes in the tax authorities' interpretations of the respective double tax treaties in effect, could harm our future results of operations, cash flows or the amounts of dividends available for distribution to shareholders in a particular period. We have incurred costs and diverted personnel resources to reduce the impact of this increase in withholding tax on our financing operations. Furthermore, we may be required to accrue substantial amounts for contingent tax liabilities, and the amounts accrued for tax contingencies may not be sufficient to meet any liability we may ultimately face. From time to time, we may also identify tax contingencies for which we have not recorded an accrual. Such un-accrued tax contingencies could materialize and require us to pay additional amounts of tax.

 The tax laws and regulations in our jurisdictions of operation are complex and subject to varying interpretations and degrees of enforcement. We cannot be sure that our interpretations are accurate or that the responsible tax authority agrees with our views. If our tax positions are challenged by the tax authorities or if there are any unforeseen changes in applicable tax laws, we could incur additional tax liabilities, which could increase our costs of operations and significantly harm our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects.

 New or proposed changes to laws or new interpretations of existing laws in the markets in which we operate may harm our business.

 As a telecommunications and cable operator, we are subject to a variety of national and local laws and regulations in Pakistan. These laws and regulations apply to many aspects of our business. Violations of applicable laws or regulations could damage our reputation or result in regulatory or private actions with substantial penalties or damages, including the revocation of some of our licenses. In addition, any significant changes in such laws or regulations or their interpretation, or the introduction of higher standards, additional obligations or more stringent laws or regulations, including revision in regulations for license and frequency allocation and changes in foreign policy or trade restrictions and regulations could have a significant adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects.

 For example, customer verification and re-verification initiatives have been implemented, which could result in the loss of some of our customer base in a particular market. In addition to customer losses, such requirements can result in claims from legitimate customers who are incorrectly blocked, fines, license suspensions and other liabilities for failure to comply with the requirements. To the extent re-verification and/or new verification requirements are imposed in the jurisdictions in which we operate, it could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. In addition, we operate have seen the adoption of data localization and protection laws that prohibit the collection of certain personal data through servers located outside of the respective jurisdictions.

 In some jurisdictions in which we operate, legislation is being implemented to establish a legal framework for preventing cyber-attacks and protecting critical information infrastructure. For example, Pakistan telecommunications operators are obliged to take various measures to protect their information infrastructure, provide reliable data transmission channels and inform government agencies and partners about incidents on critical information infrastructure. We are obliged to provide third party audit on data security in our network for which regulations are still to be firmed up and may need additional resources not currently foreseen or planned.

 We may not be able to detect and prevent fraud or other misconduct by our employees, joint venture partners, non-controlled subsidiaries, representatives, agents, vendors, customers or other third parties.

 We may be exposed to fraud or other misconduct committed by our employees, joint venture partners, representatives, agents, vendors, customers or other third parties undertaking actions on our behalf that could subject us to litigation, financial losses and fines or penalties imposed by governmental authorities and affect our reputation.

 Such misconduct could include, but is not limited to, misappropriating funds, conducting transactions that are outside of authorized limits, engaging in misrepresentation or fraudulent, deceptive or otherwise improper activities, including activities in exchange for personal benefit or gain or activities that otherwise do not comply with applicable laws or our internal policies and procedures. The risk of fraud or other misconduct could increase as we expand certain areas of our business.

 In addition to any potential legal and financial liability, our reputation may also be adversely impacted by association, action or inaction that is either real or perceived by stakeholders or customers to be inappropriate or unethical. Reputational risk may arise in many different ways, including, but not limited to any real or perceived:

 failure to act in good faith and in accordance with our values, Code of Conduct, other policies, procedures, and internal standards;

 failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations or association, real or perceived, with illegal activity;

 failure in corporate governance, management, or systems;

 association with controversial practices, customers, transactions, projects, countries, or governments;

 association with controversial business decisions, including but not limited to those relating to existing or new products, delivery channels, promotions/advertising, acquisitions, representation, sourcing/supply chain relationships, locations, or treatment of financial transactions; or

 association with poor employment or human rights practices.

 We regularly review and update our policies and procedures and internal controls, which are designed to provide reasonable assurance that we and our personnel comply with applicable laws and our internal policies. However, there can be no assurance that such policies, procedures, internal controls and training will, at all times, prevent or detect misconduct and protect us from liability arising from actions of our employees, representatives, agents, vendors, customers or other third parties.

 We are subject to anti-corruption laws in multiple jurisdictions.

 We operate in countries that pose elevated risks of corruption and are subject to a number of anti-corruption laws, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA and local laws in Pakistan, where our operations are conducted. An investigation into allegations of non-compliance or a finding of non-compliance with anti-corruption laws or other laws governing the conduct of business may subject us to administrative and other financial costs, reputational damage, criminal or civil penalties, or other remedial measures, which could significantly harm our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects. Anti-corruption laws generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from promising, filing, or giving a financial or other things of value or advantage to someone for the purpose of improperly influencing a matter or obtaining or retaining business or rewarding improper conduct. The FCPA further requires issuers, including foreign issuers with securities registered on a U.S. stock exchange, to maintain accurate books and records and a system of sufficient internal controls. We plan to regularly review and update our policies and procedures and internal controls to provide reasonable assurance that we and our personnel comply with the applicable anti-corruption laws, although we cannot guarantee that these efforts will be successful.

 We collect and process sensitive personal data and are therefore subject to an increasing number of data privacy laws and regulations that may require us to incur substantial costs and implement certain changes to our business practices that may adversely affect our results of operations.

 We are subject to various, and at times conflicting, data privacy laws and regulations that apply to the collection, use, storage, disclosure, and security of personal data that identifies or may be used to identify an individual, such as names and contact information, IP addresses, (e-mail) correspondence, call detail records and browsing history. Many countries have additional laws that regulate the processing, retention and use of communications data, including both content and metadata. These laws and regulations are subject to frequent revisions and differing interpretations and are becoming more stringent over time.

 We are subject to numerous data protection regulations. In each case, we are required to implement the appropriate level of data protection and cooperate with government authorities on law enforcement disclosures for state secrets and the personal data of our customers. In our operating jurisdictions, new laws and regulations may be introduced, subjecting us to more rigorous and stringent data protection or privacy requirements which may result in increased compliance costs and business risks or potential liability and exposure to fines and sanctions.

 Many of the jurisdictions in which we operate have laws that restrict cross-border data transfers unless certain criteria are met and/or are developing or implementing laws on data localization requiring data to be stored locally. These laws may restrict our flexibility to leverage our data and build new or consolidate existing technologies, databases and IT systems, limit our ability to use and share personal data, cause us to incur costs, require us to change our business practices in a manner averse to our business or conflict with other laws we are subject to, exposing us to regulatory risk. The stringent cross-border transfer rules in certain jurisdictions may also prohibit us from disclosing data to foreign authorities upon their request, which may generate a scenario where it is not possible for us to comply with both laws. If so, in addition to the possibility of fines, this could result in an order requiring that we change our data practices, which could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

 Furthermore, the laws and regulations regarding data privacy may become more stringent over time.

 Any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with privacy or security laws, policies, legal obligations or industry standards may result in governmental enforcement actions and investigations, blockage or limitation of our services, fines and penalties. In general, mobile operators are directly liable for actions of third parties to whom they forward personal data for processing. If the third parties we work with violate applicable laws, contractual obligations or suffer a security breach, such violations may also put us in breach of our obligations under privacy laws and regulations and/or could, in turn, have a material adverse effect on our business. In addition, concerns regarding our practices with regard to the collection, use, disclosure or security of personal information or other privacy-related matters could result in negative publicity and have an adverse effect on our reputation. Violation of these data privacy laws and regulations may lead to a seizure of our database and equipment, imposition of administrative sanctions (including in the form of fines, suspension of activities or revocation of license) or result in a ban on the processing of personal data, which, in turn, could lead to the inability to provide services to our customers. The occurrence of any of the aforementioned events, individually or in the aggregate, could harm our brand, business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects.

 Anti-terror legislation passed in Pakistan and other jurisdictions could result in additional operating costs and capital expenditures.

 Compliance with such measures may require substantial costs and management resources and conflict with our legal obligations in other countries. Failure to comply may lead to administrative fines, impair our ability to operate or cause reputational damage. In addition, compliance with any such obligations may prompt allegations related to data privacy or human rights concerns, which could, in turn, result in reputational harm or otherwise impact our ability to operate or our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, or prospects.

 We are, and may in the future be, involved in, associated with, or otherwise subject to legal liability in connection with disputes and litigation with regulators, competitors, and third parties, which, when concluded, could have an adverse impact on our business.

 We are party to a number of lawsuits and other legal, regulatory, and commercial disputes, the final outcomes of which are uncertain and inherently unpredictable. We may also be subject to claims concerning certain third-party products, services, or content we provide by virtue of our involvement in marketing, branding, broadcasting, or providing access to them, even if we do not host, operate, provide, or provide access to, these products, services or content ourselves. In addition, we currently host and provide a wide variety of services and products that enable users to engage in various online activities. The law relating to the liability of providers of these online services and products for the activities of their users is still unsettled in some jurisdictions. Claims may be threatened or brought against us for defamation, negligence, breaches of contract, copyright or trademark infringement, unfair competition, tort, including personal injury, fraud, or other grounds based on the nature and content of information that we use and store. In addition, we may be subject to domestic or international actions alleging that certain content we have generated, user-generated content or third-party content that we have made available within our services violates applicable law.

 Following a summary of our Legal and Regulatory Disputes

 Billing disputes with Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited ("PTCL")

 We have a dispute of USD 0.26 million (2022: USD 0.32 million) with Pakistan Telecommunication Limited (PTCL) in respect of non-revenue time of prepaid calling cards and USD 0.17 million (2022: USD 0.21 million) in respect of excess minutes billed on account of interconnect and settlement charges. Similarly, PTCL has charged the Company excess Domestic Private Lease Circuits ("DPLC") and other media charges amounting to USD 1.18 million (2022: USD 1.47 million) on account of difference in rates, distances and date of activations. The management has taken up these issues with PTCL and considers that these would most likely be decided in the Company's favor as there are reasonable grounds to defend the Company's stance. Hence, no provision has been made in these financial statements for the above amounts.

 If PTCL was to prevail, we will be subject to the number of billings by PTCL.

 Litigation with Pakistan Telecommunication Authority

 We are subject of litigation with Pakistan Telecommunication Authority ("PTA") involving regulatory and other dues. If PTA prevails, PTA may suspend or terminate our LDI license, additionally, we may be subject to additional penalties in form of late charges and interest. We have counterclaims against PTA which are pending with courts in Pakistan.

 Taxation Issues in Pakistan

 We are subject to issues relating to income, sales tax, and super tax with Pakistan Taxation authorities. Each of these items is being litigated in various tribunals in Pakistan. If the government of Pakistan was to prevail in taxation demands, our cash flow will be adversely affected and we may not be able to meet our financial obligations to governmental organizations.

 For further details, see Item 3: Legal Proceedings

 Any such disputes or legal proceedings, whether with or without merit, could be expensive and time-consuming and could divert the attention of our senior management. Any adverse outcome in these or other proceedings, including any that may be asserted in the future, could harm our reputation, and have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, or prospects. We cannot assure you what the ultimate outcome of any particular dispute or legal proceeding will be.

 Our licenses are granted for specific periods and may be suspended, revoked, or we may be unable to extend or replace these licenses upon expiration, and we may be fined or penalized for alleged violations of law, regulations, or license terms.

 The success of our operations is dependent on the maintenance of our licenses to provide telecommunications services in the jurisdictions in which we operate. Most of our licenses are granted for specified terms, and there can be no assurance that any license will be renewed upon expiration. Some of our licenses will expire in the near term. These licenses and the frameworks governing their renewals are subject to ongoing review by the relevant regulatory authorities. If renewed, our licenses may contain additional obligations, including payment obligations (which may involve a substantial renewal or extension fee), or may cover reduced service areas or scope of service. If we are unable to maintain or obtain licenses for the provision of telecommunications and broadband and cable TV services or more advanced services, or if our licenses are not renewed or are renewed on less favorable terms, our business and results of operations could be materially harmed. We are required to meet certain terms and conditions under our licenses (such as coverage, quality of service parameters and capital expenditure, including network build-out requirements), including meeting certain conditions established by the legislation regulating the communications industry. From time to time, we may be in breach of such terms and conditions. If we fail to comply with the conditions of our licenses or with the requirements established by the legislation regulating the communications industry, or if we do not obtain or comply with permits for the operation of our equipment, or additional licenses for broadcasting directly or through agreements with broadcasting companies, the applicable regulator could decide to levy fines, suspend, terminate or refuse to renew the license or permit. Such regulatory actions could adversely impact our ability to continue operating our business in the current or planned manner or to carry out divestitures in the relevant jurisdictions.

 The occurrence of any of these events could materially harm our ability to build out our networks in accordance with our plans, our ability to retain and attract customers, our reputation and our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects.

 It may not be possible for us to procure in a timely manner, or at all, the permissions and registrations required for our Core Networks.

 Our broadband network is supported by numerous switching systems, interconnect agreements using fiber optic cable to networks which do not belong to us. Given the multitude of regulations that govern such equipment and the various permits required to operate our broadband network, it is frequently not possible for us to procure in a timely manner, or at all, the permissions and registrations required for our network, including construction permits and right of ways for fiber optic network, or to amend or maintain the permissions in a timely manner when it is necessary to expand our network to provide services to existing or new customers.

 We also regularly receive notices from regulatory authorities in Pakistan warning us that we are not in compliance in all aspects of our licenses and permits and requiring us to cure the violations within a certain time period. Any failure by our company to cure such violations could result in the applicable license being suspended and subsequently revoked through court action.

 If we are found to operate telecommunications equipment without an applicable license or permit, we could experience a significant disruption in our service or network operation, which could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects.

 Our 55% ownership of a publicly traded company in Pakistan may expose us to legal and political risk and reputational harm.

 Our subsidiary in Pakistan, WorldCALL Public, is a public company listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange and is therefore subject to corresponding laws and regulations, including laws and regulations for the protection of minority shareholder rights. WorldCALL Public operates in Pakistan and is exposed to the risk of unpredictable and adverse government action and severe delays in obtaining necessary government approvals.

 Regulatory developments and government action on climate change issues may drive medium-to-long term increases in our operational costs.

 Our business operations and financial condition are subject to regulatory developments and government action on climate change. Governments across the world are responding to climate change by adopting ambitious climate policies as public awareness of and concern about climate change continues to grow. Government climate policies include the enactment of circular economy regulations, regulating greenhouse gas ("GHG") emissions, carbon pricing and increasing energy and fuel costs. Increased fuel and energy prices and taxes and pricing of GHG emissions could make it more expensive for us to power our networks and operations and may also result in our being subject to carbon emission taxation directly for our limited carbon emissions as a telecommunications operator, which would drive medium-to-long term increases in our operational costs. In addition, there are initial capital costs that we will have to incur as we transition towards the use of renewable energy across our operations.

 There could also be medium-to-long term increases in our operational costs due to changing levels of precipitation, increased severity and frequency of storms and other weather events, extreme temperatures and rising sea levels, which could cause potential damage to vital infrastructure and utilities. Increased risk of flooding to low-lying facilities and infrastructure due to longer-term increases in precipitation patterns could increase operating costs to maintain and/or repair facilities and network equipment. Decreased precipitation and rising and extreme temperatures could generate drought conditions that could create an increased burden to local power and water resources, which are required to operate our cooling infrastructure. In addition, these climate change impacts could also result in drops in productivity or increased operational costs for our vendors, which, in turn, may be passed on to us, which could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects.

 Following are the risk factors attached to the business operations of the Company.

 Foreign Exchange Risk

 GlobalTech business operations are exposed to Foreign Currency Exchange risk. Pakistan currency has devalued against US Dollar by ~24% between 2022 and 2023. Further devaluation is expected the and extent of the same is not quantifiable at the moment.

 Political / Economic Instability

 Pakistan is going through turbulent times on the political and economic front. Further political instability contributing to economic instability may negatively impact Company operations in Pakistan.

 Regulatory shifts

 Telecom, Broadband and Cable TV sectors are highly regulated and business operations are exposed to any regulatory shift that may impact ease of business operations or cost of operations.

 Additionally, any change in Government Tariff/Taxation structure applicable to the business or duty / levies for import of required equipment remains a risk factor for service operations.

 Transaction risks

 Foreign exchange rate fluctuations can influence the company's operations in Pakistan specifically on a completed transaction prior to its settlement. Additionally, risks associated with United States Governments regulations on possible sanctions regimes that may affect operations in Pakistan cannot be quantified at the moment Future transactions planned by the Company is subject to foreign exchange rates which may make the acquisition of equipment and capital expenditures un -feasible or nonproductive for the Company.

 Supply Chain / Equipment procurement

 All rollouts are subject to the timely and adequate availability of equipment at the operational site. Any supply chain issue on account of any of the multiple factors will have a direct impact on project completion and business operations. During the year 2023 we were subject to supply chain issues as it took longer to receive equipment and supplies due to shortages and as we have seen delays for deployment of our fiber networks.

 Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

 None.

 Item 1C. Cybersecurity.

 The Company understands the importance of preventing, assessing, identifying, and managing material risks associated with cybersecurity threats. Cybersecurity processes to assess, identify and manage risks from cybersecurity threats have been incorporated as a part of the Company's overall risk assessment process. These risks include, among other things: operational risks, intellectual property theft, fraud, extortion, harm to employees or customers and violation of data privacy or security laws.

 We have processes in place to identify, assess and monitor material risks from cybersecurity threats, including the material risks of the Company.

Cybersecurity risks related to our business, technical operations, privacy and compliance issues are identified and addressed through a multi-faceted approach including third party assessments, IT security, governance, risk and compliance reviews.

 Incidents are evaluated to determine materiality as well as operational and business impact, and reviewed for privacy impact.

 We describe whether and how risks from identified cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any previous cybersecurity incidents, have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect us, including our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition, under the headings " We are exposed to cyber-attacks and other cybersecurity threats that may lead to compromised or inaccessible telecommunications, digital and financial services, and/or leaks or unauthorized processing of confidential information, and perceptions of such threats may cause customers to lose confidence in our services ", included as part of our risk factor disclosures at Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 Cybersecurity is an important part of our risk management processes and an area of focus for our Board and management.

 Our Chief Executive Officer and President, Dana Green, is responsible for the oversight of risks from cybersecurity threats. The Board will receive information and updates periodically with respect to the effectiveness of our cybersecurity and information security framework, data privacy and risk management, which includes that of the Company.

 Refer to Note 17—Legal Matters to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of this report.

 Billing disputes with Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited ("PTCL")

 WHI and its subsidiaries ("The Group") has a dispute of USD 0.26 million (2022: USD 0.32 million) with Pakistan Telecommunication Limited (PTCL) in respect of non-revenue time of prepaid calling cards and USD 0.17 million (2022: USD 0.21 million) in respect of excess minutes billed on account of interconnect and settlement charges. Similarly, PTCL has charged the Company excess Domestic Private Lease Circuits ("DPLC") and other media charges amounting to USD 1.18 million (2022: USD 1.47 million) on account of difference in rates, distances and date of activations. The management has taken up these issues with PTCL and considers that these would most likely be decided in Company's favor as there are reasonable grounds to defend the Company's stance. Hence, no provision has been made in these financial statements for the above amounts.

 Disputes with Pakistan Telecommunication Authority ("PTA")

 WHI and its subsidiaries ("The Group") have filed a suit before Civil Court, Lahore on December 15, 2016 in which it has sought restraining order against PTA demands of regulatory and other dues and claimed set off from damages / compensation claim of the Company on account of auction of preoccupied frequency spectrum. The Company has raised a claim of approximately USD 18.77 million against PTA. The matter is pending adjudication. As per management it is difficult to predict the outcome of the case at this stage.

 'During the year 2016, PTA again demanded immediate payment of the principal amount of APC amounting to USD 6.25 million along with default surcharge thereon amounting to USD 5.86 million as of July 31, 2016 vide its notice dated December 1, 2016. Through the aforesaid show cause notice, PTA has also shown intentions to impose penal provisions to levy fine up to USD 1.24 million or to suspend or terminate the LDI license by issuance of an enforcement order against the Company. The Company has challenged the show cause notice before the Sindh High Court on December 13, 2016 wherein the Court has passed orders restraining PTA from cancelling the licenses of the Company and from taking any coercive action against it. The matter is at the stage of hearing of applications. Based on the advice of the legal counsel, the Company's management feels that there are strong grounds to defend the Company's stance and the liability will not materialize, hence, no provision has been made in these financial statements for the amounts of default surcharge and fine.

 'PTA has raised demand amounting to USD 0.11 million on account of using extra Radio Spectrum not assigned to the Company. The Company challenged this amount on July 3, 2012 before Islamabad High Court which has allowed appeal of the Company. PTA went into appeal before the Honorable Supreme Court of Pakistan in March 2017 which got dismissed. Now, PTA has filed review application which is still pending. The management is hopeful that its viewpoint shall be upheld; thus no provision has been incorporated in these financial statements against this demand.

 The Group maintains that PTA has allegedly issued an arbitrary order for recovery of annual radio frequency spectrum fee for the year ended 2011,2012,2013,2014 and 2015 along with late payment charges amounting in total to USD 0.19 million. The Company has assailed the order before honorable Lahore High Court on June 28, 2016 on the ground that officers of PTA could not issue such an order as they had not issued the show cause notice. The Honorable High Court has allowed the petition and remanded the case to PTA for decision afresh. In another suit filed by the Company before Honorable Lahore High Court, PTA has also demanded applicable late payment charges on impugned non-payment of annual radio spectrum fee. The question of law has been resolved by the Honorable High Court on March 21, 2018 and it was held that PTA's decision was appealable before PTA. Same was also upheld by the honorable Supreme Court on May 17, 2018. The management has filed appeals before PTA and the appeal was decided against the Company. Subsequent to year end appeal against PTA's order has been filled before the next judicial forum on January 12, 2021. The management is hopeful that its viewpoint shall be upheld; thus no provision has been incorporated in these financial statements for late payment charges.

 Moreover, the Group is confident that incidental liability, if any, will be set off by way of a claim filed against PTA.

 The Group has filed a suit before the High Court of Sindh on July 2, 2011 for declaration, injunction and recovery of USD 17.51 million against PTA praying, inter alia, for direction to PTA to determine the Access Promotion Contribution for Fixed Line Local Loop (APCL contribution) and Access Promotion Cost (APC) for Universal Service Fund (USF) strictly in accordance with the formula as per Rule 8(2) and (4) of 2004 Rules and Regulation 7 of 2005 Regulations; restraining PTA from taking coercive actions against the Company to recover the amounts of APCL and APC for USF and direction to PTA to submit accounts and information to the Honorable High Court with regard to collection and, utilization and application of APCL and APC for USF contributions. During the pendency of proceedings, the Court granted interim injunction to the Company and restrained PTA from taking any coercive action against the Group.

 The said restraining order was dismissed by the learned single judge through a consolidated order dated July 27, 2018. The said order has been challenged by the Group before the Divisional Bench of the High Court on August 13, 2018 in High Court Appeal No. 222 of 2018. The management is hopeful that its viewpoint shall be upheld; thus no provision has been incorporated in these financial statements.

 'PTA has raised demand amounting to USD 0.06 million on account of BTS registration and microwave charges for the year 2007 till 2014. The Company challenged this amount in November 2019 before Lahore High Court which was pending adjudication. The grounds of these appeal were that these charges are ultra vires to the act and license. Therefore PTA had ordered for further proceeding and the appeal was withdrawn accordingly.

 'PTA has filed recovery proceedings against the Company before the District Collector / District Officer Revenue, Lahore for an amount of USD 9.38 million including late payment charges on November 4, 2016 due to non-payment of initial spectrum fee (ISF). The Company has not received any notice from the Revenue department. During the year PTA again issued the notice against non-payment of ISF and increased the claim by Rs. 1.038 billion.

 PTA has withdrawn the frequencies 3.5 Ghz, 479 Mhz, 450 Mhz and 1900 Mhz. As per management the ISF for 3.5 Ghz and 479 Mhz is already fully paid till 2024. The outstanding liability for 1900 Mhz is reduced to zero on the basis that 1900 Mhz frequency has been fully paid for until 2015 (actual withdrawal year), Similarly, liability for 450Mhz frequency spectrum be reduced on prorata after withdrawal. Corresponding assets has also been retired.

 The Group has filed an appeal with Islamabad High Court on January 12, 2021 against said decision of PTA on similar lines as explained above and the Group's management and legal advisor feels that there are strong grounds to defend the Group's stance and that the principal amount and late payment charges determined unilaterally by PTA will not materialize, hence, no provision has been made in these financial statements.

 'PTA has demanded amounts of annual license fee (ALF) relating to Non-Voice Communication Network Services (NVCNS) through various demand notices. PTA has filed recovery proceedings against the Company before the District Collector / Deputy Commissioner, Lahore for an amount of USD 0.22 million on February 7, 2020 due to non-payment of annual license fee (ALF) relating to Non-Voice Communication Network Services (NVCNS). This includes principal portion of USD 0.11 million already recognized in the financial statements and late payment charges amounting to USD 0.11 million. The Company has not received any notice from the Revenue department. The Company's management and legal advisor feels that there are strong grounds to defend the Company's stance and that the late payment charges determined unilaterally by PTA will not materialize, hence, no provision has been made in these financial statements.

 'PTA had demanded an amount of USD 1.24 million in respect of fine and loss of USD 1.84 million on account of international telephony traffic. The case was decided by Islamabad High Court in favor of the Company, however, PTA went into appeal before the honorable Supreme Court of Pakistan. The honorable Supreme Court dismissed the appeal of PTA. PTA has now filed review petition No. 708 of 2019 before the Supreme Court of Pakistan on November 23, 2019 which is pending adjudication. The Company has not received any notice in this regard. The Company's management feels that there are strong grounds to defend the Company's stance, hence, no provision has been made in these financial statements.

 'PTA has issued show cause notice to the Company with the direction to pay annual regulatory dues for the years ended 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 cumulative amount of USD 0.42 Million along with late payment charges. The Company has filled the appeals against said notices with PTA which dismissed on December 04, 2020. The Company therefore filled the appeal in Sindh High Court on December 31, 2020 to set aside the order passed by PTA. The Court directed PTA not to take any coercive action against the Company. The management is hopeful that its viewpoint shall be upheld; thus no provision has been incorporated in these financial statements against this demand.

 'PTA determined the demand amounting to USD 0.79 million, on account of annual spectrum fee and other regulatory charges, vide its determination dated February 22, 2010. Being aggrieved, the Company's management preferred an appeal before the Honorable Lahore High Court ("LHC") on March 20, 2010 against the PTA's determination. LHC granted stay against the recovery subject to payment of USD 0.14 million which was complied by the Company. Based on the advice of the Company's legal counsel, the Company's management feels that there are strong grounds to defend the Company's position and the ultimate decision would be in the Company's favor.

 'Other than the amounts recognized in the financial statements and amounts disclosed in the above contingencies, PTA has also demanded amounts of USD 5.79 million on account of various charges, default surcharges / penalties / fines. Since the principal amount is disputed, the Company's management feels that there are strong grounds to defend the Company's stance and that the liability determined unilaterally by PTA will not materialize, hence, no provision has been made in these financial statements.

 Taxation issues in Pakistan

 'Separate returns of total income for the Tax Year 2003 were filed by M/s World call Communications Limited, M/s Worldcall Multimedia Limited, M/s Worldcall Broadband Limited and M/s Worldcall Phone Cards Limited, now merged into the Company. Such returns of income were amended by relevant officials under section 122(5A) of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001 ("Ordinance") through separate orders. Through such amendment orders, in addition to enhancement in aggregate tax liabilities by an amount of USD 0.04 million, tax losses declared by the respective companies too were curtailed by an aggregate amount of USD 0.23 million. The Company contested such amendment orders before Commissioner Inland Revenue (Appeals) [CIR(A)] and while amendment order for Worldcall Broadband Limited was annulled, partial relief was extended by CIR(A) in respect of appeals pertaining to other companies. The appellate orders extending partial relief were further assailed by the Company before Appellate Tribunal Inland Revenue (ATIR) in January 2010, which are pending adjudication. The Company's management considers that meritorious grounds exist to support the Company's stances and expects relief from ATIR in respect of all the issues being contested. Accordingly, no adjustments / liabilities on these accounts have been incorporated / recognized in these financial statements.

 'Through amendment order passed under section 122(5A) of the Ordinance, the Company's return of total income for Tax Year 2006 was amended and declared losses were curtailed by an amount of USD 2.76 million. The Company's appeal filed on September 18, 2007 was not entertained by CIR(A) and the amendment order was upheld whereupon the matter was further agitated before ATIR on July 8, 2008, which is pending adjudication. The Company's management expects relief from ATIR in respect of issues involved in the relevant appeal there being valid precedents available on record supporting the Company's stance. Accordingly, no adjustment on this account has been incorporated in these financial statements.

 'In computer balloting for total audit u/s 177 of the Ordinance, the Company was selected for total audit proceedings for the tax year 2009 and the same has been completed with the issuance of order under section 122(1)/122(5) of the Ordinance creating a demand of 0.74 million. Against the said impugned order, appeal has been filed before CIR(A) on August 5, 2019 by legal counsel of the Company. Based on the advice of the legal counsel, the Company's management feels that there are strong grounds to defend the Company's stance and the liability will not materialize, hence, no provision has been made in these financial statements.

 'A demand of USD 3.75 million (including default surcharge of USD 1.15 million) was raised against the Company under section 161/205 of the Ordinance for the period relevant to Tax Year 2012 alleging non-compliance with various applicable withholding provisions contained in the Ordinance. The management assailed the subject order on March 28, 2014 in usual appellate course and while first appellate authority decided certain issues in the Company's favor, major issues were remanded back to department for adjudication afresh. Such appellate order was further assailed by the Company before ATIR on May 20, 2014, at which forum, adjudication is pending. Meanwhile, the Department concluded the reassessment proceedings, primarily repeating the treatment earlier accorded, however, based on relief allowed by first appellate authority, demand now stands reduced to USD 3.38 million (including default surcharge of USD 1.09 million). Such reassessment order was assailed by the Company in second round of litigation and the first appellate authority, through its order dated June 29, 2015, has upheld the Departmental action. The management has contested this order before ATIR on August 20, 2015 for favorable outcome. The Company's management feels that there are strong grounds to defend the Company's stance and the liability will not materialize, hence, no provision has been made in these financial statements.

 'In computer balloting for total audit u/s 177 of the ITO, 2001, the Company was selected for total audit proceedings for the tax year 2014 and the same has been completed with the issuance of order under section 122(4) of Income Tax Ordinance, 2001 creating a demand of USD 173,562 and curtailment of losses by USD 20.83 million. The said demand was curtailed to USD 20,359 through a revised demand order on account of rectification application filed by the Company. Against the said impugned order, appeal has been filed before CIR(A) on January 24, 2018 by legal counsel of the Company. Based on the advice of the legal counsel, the Company's management feels that there are strong grounds to defend the Company's stance and the liability will not materialize, hence, no provision has been made in these financial statements.

 The Commissioner Inland Revenue("CIR") has raised demand against the Company for super tax for the tax year 2018 amounting to USD 0.16 million. The chargeability has been challenged by the Company through writ petition in LHC filed on May 16, 2019. Based on the advice of the legal counsel, the Company's management feels that there are strong grounds to defend the Company's stance and the liability will not materialize, hence, no provision has been made in these financial statements.

 A sales tax demand of USD 0.736 million was raised against the Group for recovery of an allegedly inadmissible claim of sales tax refund in Tax Year 2006 filed and sanctioned under section 66 of the Sales Tax Act, 1990. The Group's appeal against such order was allowed to the extent of additional tax and penalties; however, principal amount was held against the Group by the then relevant Customs, Excise and Sales Tax Appellate Tribunal (CESTAT). The Group further assailed the issue on November 10, 2009 before Lahore High Court (LHC) where the litigation is presently pending. While, recovery to the extent of 20% of principal demand of sales tax has been made by the tax authorities, an interim injunction by honorable Court debars the Department for enforcing any further recovery. Since the management considers the refund to be legally admissible to the Group, no liability on this account has been recognized in these financial statements and the amount already recovered has been recorded as being receivable from the tax authorities. It is pertinent to highlight here that adverse judgment earlier passed by CESTAT no longer holds the field as through certain subsequent judgments, controversy has been decided by ATIR (forum now holding appellate jurisdiction under the law) in favor of other taxpayers operating in the Telecom Sector. The Honorable LHC has set aside the judgment of the Tribunal on May 24, 2017 and has remanded the case for decision afresh. The Tribunal is yet to issue notice for the hearing. The Group's management feels that there are strong grounds to defend the Group's stance and the liability will not materialize, hence, no provision has been made in these financial statements.

 'On September 30, 2016, Punjab Revenue Authority (PRA) issued show cause notice allegedly demanding USD 1.49 million for the periods from May 2013 to December 2013. The Company challenged imposition of sales tax on LDI services on the first appellate authority in 2016 and relief granted by CIR(A) through set aside the demand created by PRA with direction of reassessment proceedings. The Company challenged these proceedings through filing a writ petition in LHC heard on February 9, 2017 on the grounds that it was unconstitutional and in violation of fundamental principles of sales tax and international commitments of Government of Pakistan. The writ petition has been allowed with instructions passed by honourable Judge of Lahore High Court Lahore to PRA restraining from passing final order in pursuance of proceedings. The matter has been taken up by other LDI operators against PRA in June 2015 before LHC on the grounds that imposition of sales tax is unconstitutional and in violation of fundamental principles of sales tax and international commitments of Government of Pakistan. The period pertains to ICH time when amount of sales tax was withheld by PTCL. Based on the advice of the Company's tax advisor, the management is of the view that the Company's case is based on meritorious grounds and hence, relief would be secured from the Court. In view of the above, provision for sales tax on LDI services aggregating USD 4.27 million (2022: USD 3.90 million) has not been made in these financial statements.

 Other matters

 One of the Group's supplier has filed the suit for recovery on July 12, 2018 before the Civil Court, Lahore, Pakistan of certain moneys alleged to have not been paid by the Group under its agreements with the supplier. The principal claim is USD 0.06 million however the claim is inflated to USD 0.81 million on frivolous basis. The Group denies the claim and is hopeful for positive outcome. The management is of the view that it is unlikely that any claim of said supplier will materialize.

 One of the Group's supplier has filed petition on November 21, 2014 before LHC. The supplier has claim of USD 0.77 million receivable from the Group. Further details of the litigations have not been disclosed as it may prejudice the Group's position. The Group has denied the veracity of such claims and has also challenged the maintainability of the proceedings. Also, the Group has filed a counter petition during the year 2015 claiming USD 1.12 million under the same contract against which the supplier has claimed its dues. The Group had to deposit an amount of USD 0.07 million in the Court in respect of this case. The honorable High Court has already required both Companies to resolve disputes in terms of their Agreement. The matter stands adjourned sine die. Based on the advice of the Group's legal counsel, the management is of the view that it is unlikely that any adverse order will be passed against the Group.

 One of Group's supplier and its allied international identities (referred to as suppliers) filed winding up petition dated October 16, 2017 before LHC and claim of USD 0.24 million and USD 4.869 million which was dismissed on September 26, 2018. The suppliers have also filed civil suit before Islamabad Civil Court dated September 17, 2018 for recovery of USD 12.35 million and Rs. 68.08 million along with damages of USD 20 million. The learned civil judge accepted the application under Order VII Rule 10 CPC and returned the plaint. The suppliers have now filed an appeal before the Honorable Islamabad High Court, Islamabad against the order passed on July 10, 2019 by the learned civil judge, Islamabad. The Company has already filed suit for recovery of USD 93.3 million against this suppliers for default in performance of agreements before Civil Court, Lahore in August 2017.

 The Group has also filed another suit before Civil Court, Lahore for recovery of Rs. 1.5 billion for causing damage to the Company for filing frivolous winding up petition. Based on the legal advice, the management is of the view that it is unlikely that any claim of said suppliers will materialize.

 The Group acquired Indefeasible Right to Use ("IRU") of media and related Operations and Maintenance Services ("O&M") from one of the Company's suppliers through an agreement entered in August 2011. An agreement between the parties was reached in April 2015 for the payment against O&M services whereby it was decided that monthly payments in respect of O&M will be made by the Company and other deliverables under IRU agreement shall be mutually agreed by June 30, 2016. However, the supplier illegally and violating the terms for the Agreement, disconnected its services to the Company and filed a Civil Suit before the Sindh High Court in October 2016 for recovery of dues amounting to USD 7.03 million equivalent to Rs. 1.09 billion along with mark up @ 15% amounting to USD 1.58 million equivalent to USD 0.87 million, allegedly due under the stated agreement. The subject suit is pending adjudication.

 'The management believes that supplier's claim is invalid since it relates to the un-utilized future period and for the media which has never been provisioned as required under the Agreement and the supplier is/was under contractual obligation to provide (media) to the Company. That, a net sum of USD 2.977 million is due and payable by Supplier to the Company, in respect of reimbursement and refund obligation under and pursuant to the IRU Contract. The net sum is calculated on the basis of actual utilization of the capacity calculated on pro rata basis hence the Company was/is entitled to and Supplier was/is liable to refund USD 2.977 million within 90 days of the termination of the IRU instead of claiming USD 7.03 million. The subject media / services have never been provisioned therefore the Supplier is not entitled to claim any amount for media or services. As the Company holds an indefeasible right to use the supplier's media for the contract duration of 15 years, early and unilateral termination of services by supplier, amounts to a breach.

 Under these circumstances, the Group under the express contractual rights have claimed the amounts pertaining to (i) media which has yet not been delivered, and (ii) un-utilized future period on a prorata basis, as required under the terms and conditions of the Agreement. Moreover, the Supplier is also liable to make payments to the Group on account of different services received from the Group. The Group has filed an application before SHC in January 2017 under section 34 of the Arbitration Act, 1940 to refer the matter to Arbitrator as per the dispute resolution mechanism provided in the agreement dated 2011.

 During 2019, the supplier has signed an MoU with the Group undertaking to withdraw all legal cases which has completed in August 2022 and both parties have withdrawn their respective cases.

 A total of cases 30 are filed against the Group involving Regulatory, Employees, Landlords and Subscribers having aggregate claim of all cases amounting to USD 0.40 million (2022: USD 0.49 million. Because of number of cases and their uncertain nature, it is not possible to quantify their financial impact. Management and legal advisors of the Group are of the view that the outcome of these cases is expected to be favorable and liability, if any, arising out on the settlement is not likely to be material.

 Reference is made to Item 1A. Risk Factors depict important factors that could cause actual results to differ from expectations. In addition, the following discussion should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto of GlobalTech Corporation included in "Item 18. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."

 Overview

 We are a leading cable and broadband operator in Pakistan and a prominent broadband communication services company providing video and broadband internet services in major cities of Pakistan through Hybrid Fiber Coaxial and state-of-the-art fiber optic networks. We also offer international voice/data interconnect services with a principal focus on the termination of international voice traffic into Pakistan. We were presented with the Best Media Company award and recognized as the largest cable operator in Pakistan by the consumer's choice awards in Pakistan.  /

 Video revenue decreased in 2023 primarily due to a decline in the number of residential video customers, partially offset by an increase in average rates. We expect that the number of residential video customers will continue to decline, negatively impacting video revenue as a result of the competitive environment and shifting video consumption patterns. As is generally the case in the video market in the United States, viewers are using streaming services and dropping cable television bundled services. We expect this to continue.

 Broadband customers decreased due to competition in certain of our service areas. We are in the process of revising our marketing plan to regain customers in areas where we have lost customers.

 We offer a full range of residential and business solutions including fiber optic-delivered communications and managed IT solutions to large enterprise customers. For Corporate Clients, we focus on high-quality service in the provision of dedicated lines having Committed Information Rates (CIR) features to enhance productivity. They are also provided fiber optic network solutions including dark fiber optic connectivity on an IRU (Indefeasible / irrefutable Right of Usage) basis, managed circuits, and Point to Point (P2P) and Point to Multipoint (PTMP) connectivity. On our Cable TV Infrastructure, we distribute satellite TV content to our customers on Hybrid Fiber Coaxial (HFC) and Fiber to the Home (FTTH) networks. We carry both analog and digital TV channels to our customers over our cable network. We have gathered a number of awards over the years for our services from the Consumer Association of Pakistan for the quality and affordability of our services. Our subsidiary WorldCall Public is one of the oldest operators in Pakistan and has good brand recognition for its current portfolio of services. With over two decades of service under our brand, we believe the value generated by our brand gives us a competitive edge over our competition.

 Broadband and Cable TV Operations

 The Company has been investing in its ambition of providing affordable broadband connectivity across Pakistan besides making a concerted effort to improve its services to existing customers The company has already initiated a comprehensive deployment of consumer Fiber to the Home (FTTH) connectivity clusters converting and migrating its existing customers to a higher average revenue per user (ARPU) platform. The cluster delivered high-speed internet capped at 100 Mbps, a blend of HD resolution 200 + (Digital/ Analogue) channels in addition to user familiar Customer Relationship Module which gives ultimate freedom to the subscriber for a customized service management experience. As the metro fiber optic plant already traverses across our service areas, the conversion cost for migrating an existing HFC customer to FTTH service remains low. Set-top boxes deployed for Digital Cable TV service are fully compatible with RF Overlay FTTH deployment and need not be changed as part of this migration.

 The company has nearly 1,900 kilometers (1,180 miles) of fiber optic infrastructure deployed across 20 major cities of Pakistan with a potential ability to access a market of almost 3 million households for subscriber acquisition. It is a major asset moving forward as access to subscriber concentration points is essential for GlobalTech future strategy.

 For our FTTH network deployment, Company has achieved a good response to subscriber conversion and has already deployed phase 1 of the project successfully in populous areas of Lahore, a city in Pakistan. For optimum utilization of this infrastructure and synergizing of resources, we have made business collaborations to aggressively pursue Fiber to the Home (FTTH) service rollout across Pakistan. The FTTH initiative is not only limited to the aforementioned areas, but a comprehensive plan is also in place to convert all existing HFC connections in the various other areas of Lahore and other major cities of Pakistan in a phased manner. This activity will require minimal cost but improve the margin of the business to large extent and resultantly augment its profitability. FTTH service is charged at a higher level as it delivers much higher bandwidth on fiber optic networks. Additionally, operational resource intensity is substantially lower in FTTH as compared to HFC networks. Higher ARPU with lower servicing costs would result in better performance moving forward.

 On financial numbers, the Revenue of broadband decreased by $2.43 million. Customer requirements are migrating towards a higher grade of service for data both in terms of availability and throughput and the Company has decided to make a shift towards the latest technology options in order to provide desired services to customers in a more secure manner. Company HFC deployments could have been upgraded to service the requirements, but FTTH offers a more cost-effective platform with a much higher capability set moving forward. Management has achieved the rollout of 15,000 subscribers on FTTH in the existing service areas. The management is emphasizing converting all coaxial cable connections with FTTH and in time it would contribute to a major positive shift in the revenue from the consumer segment of operations and same is substantiated by marginal increase recorded this year.

 For consumer operations, FTTH continues to and will be a major revenue contributor for Company in the future as well. Subject to the availability of funds Company plans to extend its service to all of the 20 cities covered by its fiber optic network. The management believes that since its inception WorldCall Public has had a large database of loyal customers that have been subscribing to its multiple services for more than fifteen years. To further supplement this effort the management is working on the customers' loyalty program. Aggressive marketing strategy and on-field marketing activity have also been planned in achieving the desired objectives of new and initial subscribers. This activity is being strongly supported through corporate marketing initiatives and exploiting the digital social media platform fully like Linked In, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. The marketing campaign of FTTH are also being launched on our in-house cable network. The management is more or less certain that the revenue trend can only go up moving forward. The management also intends to facilitate its' customers for easy payments after evaluating different payment platforms.

 *Local Cable Operator/ Local Loop Operator

 *We provide Analog and Digital services via our Fiber Optic network to local cable operators, wherein each of the local operators reduces capital costs by receiving our service rather than installing equipment for receiving programming directly from Networks.

 Pricing information for the listed services is as follows.

 Service 1a is charged at bulk monthly rates with unlimited volumes of traffic. The origination operator is able to generate additional volumes by offering discounted calling rates for Pakistan and local Pakistani operator connected to Company LDI network benefits from additional income by utilization of vacant capacity on the interconnect. Company margin is fixed irrespective of the volume of traffic.

 Service 1b is charged on per minute of traffic (on per second incremental basis) to the originating party along with a corresponding termination rate charged by the terminating party connected to Company LDI network.

 Service 2a and 3a is direct fiber connectivity to the end user through Fiber to the Home (FTTH) architecture. Service is charged as per subscription opted by the end user and include cable TV and broadband data. Cable TV offering further includes options to have analogue, digital or both services.

 Service 2b and 3b is direct hybrid fiber coaxial (HFC) connectivity to the end user. Service is charged as per subscription opted by the end user and include cable TV and broadband data. Cable TV offering further includes options to have analogue, digital or both the services. Compared to FTTH, HFC offers a lower capacity broadband connectivity for the end-user.

 Service 2c is connecting local resellers to Company backbone where service offering and packaging is done by the Company and local loop operator only manages subscriber services for connectivity and network maintenance. Company charges on individual packages on pre-paid top-up basis.

 Service 2d provides backhaul and core network connectivity fort telecom operators along with P2P links for corporate data connectivity. For telecom operator's charges are on long term lease basis with O&M charged on annual basis for a specific length of fiber optic network deployment. For corporate in includes one-time charges for network deployment with monthly O&M.

 Service 3c connects and provides local cable operators and local loop operators with Company Cable TV services (Analogue and Digital). The connection is made on fiber optic cable to end-user premises and further distribution is handled by local loop operator through its own resources.

 Service 1 is monitored for volume of traffic and applicable rates. Service 2a, 2b, 2c, 3a and 3b are monitored on subscriber connected. Service 2d and 3c are monitored for new sales and Service Level Agreement (SLA) delivery for existing customers.

 Subscriber conversion rate from HFC to FTTH:

 We were able to convert 100% of our HFC customers located in Lahore City (Wapda Town), however, we do not expect 100% conversion of all of our HFC customers. Our experience in Wapda Town is an indication of the level of acceptance by our customers to convert from HFC to FTTH.

 Our conversion rates are high because we provide equipment and installation free of charge to our existing HFC customers. FTTH service is reliable as it does not depend upon power, as compared to an HFC plant. HFC plants require electrical power to operate the network, due to regular power failures in Pakistan HFC networks are frequently affected whereby having service interruption our customers.

 FTTH is not depended upon Network electrical power, rather it requires power at our central switch and customer premises. The continuous availability of service to our end users is of extreme importance.

 We expect our customers to thus convert, however we are expecting a conversion rate of at least 50% of our customers. We expect 100% of our customers to convert as we will over the next 36 months stop analog service and have complete FTTH service. We will continue using our HFC plant as a backup to our Fiber plant to continue support our customers.

 The table below gives an example of conversion in one of our areas.

 As per the national broadband policy 2022 of Pakistan, Pakistan's market has huge potential for broadband/data and therefore has set the following targets keeping in view the market potential, the following table sets forth Government of Pakistan's targets for broadband deployment.

 Based upon the above targets as set forth by the Government of Pakistan, we are able to leverage our existing fiber network thus allowing us to deploy in high-density areas with minimal capital expenditures using existing inventory of network equipment. However, the need for capital will increase over the years as fiber network is extended to areas that are currently not served by our existing Fiber Network. These capital needs will be substantial and may require us to raise capital by debt or equity raises. If we are to raise capital by issuing shares, your shareholding will be diluted.

 We believe that setting these targets can only be achieved with Government of Pakistan's regulatory support such as clear guidance as to permitting and licensing.

 The management is also planning to sign up large public and private sector organizations for a complete package of cable TV and internet services. While at the same time we are also planning to sign up with the large housing projects launched by Real Estate companies in different cities for the provision of CATV and broadband internet through our distribution channels with exclusivity right from the project launch. This would further improve and enhance the corporate outlook and revenue of the business.

 Long Distance and International traffic operations

 The company maintains a robust infrastructure and international interconnect portfolio for its international traffic operations. The operations target voice traffic coming to Pakistan principally originating from overseas Pakistani population calling home and not any significant business / corporate originations. Traditional traffic origination points are Middle Eastern countries, the United Kingdom, and North America. Termination of voice traffic is highly regulated in Pakistan and Company has been in operation since 2004 in this segment of operations.

 International termination revenue is one of the major revenue streams, which has increased by $1.4 Million due to a increase in international traffic and termination rates driven by competitive forces and further propagation of connectivity services through WhatsApp, Messenger, and similar products which do not rely on traditional connectivity methodology of voice interconnects. The decrease in business returns is also faced by the originating parties who are significant operators in their respective regions of traffic origination and termination.

 The company escalated its engagement with its interconnect partners in Pakistan and abroad to address the migration of voice business toward alternate platforms. The operating regime applicable to the business operations whereby charging on per minute basis of voice communications is shifting toward a bulk billing strategy which would address the recent decline in business by a significant increase in business volume at a lower margin.

 The management is deliberating new products and services in different areas in emerging markets. The current business plan envisions an aggressive acquisition/collaboration roadmap for technology assets, focusing on both operators and technology platforms with the essential elements of robust operations and growth potential already in place. The same would be involved in getting better solutions in place for voice aggregation operations along with a better position in getting bulk deals in place for business growth.

 The company plans to further transform its business strategy to a more globally integrated approach for its subsidiaries. Our future plans also include the mergers and acquisition of existing & new businesses having similar operations in different parts of the world, which include the Middle East, Europe, South Asia, and Africa. As part of our strategy, we intend to leverage our existing technical and managerial strengths in expanding our services to acquired or joint venture partners.

Telecom services-related revenue stood at US$ 9.643 million during the year 2023 compared to US$ 8.258 million in 2022, this increase of approximately US$ 1.384 million was primarily due to the high volume of international termination business. Broadband services generated revenue of US$ 0.997 million in 2023 compared to US$ 3.424 million in 2022. This decrease of US$ 2.427 million is mainly due to duct sale in last year.

 Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income attributable to Global-Tech Corporation shareholders plus net income attributable to non-controlling interest, net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and other operating (income) expenses, net, such as exchange loss/(gain).

 Adjusted EBITDA and loss from operations of 2023 were impacted by the decline in revenue, mainly by the decline in revenue of broadband, Cable TV and fiber sale, whereas Adjusted EBITDA and loss from operations of 2022 were impacted by the decline international termination quantum.

 During this period, Company was also transforming its business operations and moving towards a service-centric operation that does not require heavy investments in infrastructure. Current business operations are being maintained at the optimal operating level and new investments were principally utilized for solutions development more suited for future needs. The company is focused on the development of products and services that would be better suited for its future roadmap as a technology-centric solutions Company.

 Gross Margin: The Company recorded a gross margin of USD 0.60 million in 2022 compared to USD 2.47 million in 2022. The decrease was due to in broadband service revenues of USD 2.43 million also contributed to a decrease in gross margin. The broadband revenue decline is caused by depressed sales in fiber optic network solutions targeting the corporate and telecom operator segment.

 Direct operating costs: Direct operating costs stood at USD 10.01 million in 2023 compared to USD 9.15 million in 2022. Operating costs remain practically the same in two years period and positive variance is on account of currency devaluation of nearly 24% over the period and an increase in interconnect cost in line with an increase in international termination revenue. We intend to maintain our operating expenses at current levels, leveraging our existing systems with the increased customer base. Our staff levels would be maintained; our existing networking equipment has additional capacity to handle increased customer loads. Based on our current levels, we can substantially increase customer levels without incurring additional costs.

 Other operating costs: Other operating costs stood at USD 1.97 million in 2023 compared to USD 2.45 million in 2022. A positive variance of operating costs is on account of currency devaluation of nearly 24% over the period.

 Other income and expenses: The Company recorded other income of USD 4.46 million in 2023 compared to USD 0.68 million in 2022 and this increase is mainly due to gain on sale of convertible preference shares.

 Updates on plans:

 Long Distance and International traffic operations: In Long Distance and International voice operations, the company has been successful in concluding a bulk traffic arrangement originating from the Middle East region and terminating through the company network in Pakistan. Traffic flow has started to build up and the company plans to add an additional origination point for voice traffic aggregation for Pakistan. All such traffic is being aggregated through existing interconnect contracts already in place.

 The company management has also escalated its market engagement through physical participation in various forms held for the promotion of this business segment in the region and on the global stage.

 Broadband and Cable TV Operations: The FTTH conversion project is progressing as per plan. A total network of 15,000 home passes has been deployed to date. The company has also been granted permission for FTTH conversion in a major area of current business operations (Defense Housing Authority – Lahore) and the company is confident that it would be able to deploy an additional 15,000 home pass FTTH network over the next four quarters. The company has engaged in discussions with potential partners for extending its service to other cities covered by its metro fiber optic network deployment. For fiber optic sales, the regulator has started the actual award process for new licenses, and the company is engaged with new licensees for new sales. However, due to heavy financial conditions on new licensees for performance guarantees, it remains to be seen whether market requirements materialize in an aggressive manner or conservative manner.

 Additionally, the Company has started work on commercial monetization of its in-house Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system for third-party sales. The software has a good capability set for sales pipeline, call center integration, authority matrix, human resource, performance monitoring, and accounting integration. The first sector being targeted is commercial banking for loan and portfolio management. The Company is confident it can carry out commercial activation for external sales, but the market is still to be tested in this regard.

 Liquidity and Capital Resources

 We have significant amounts of debt. The principal amount of our debt as of December 31, 2023, was $6.54 million, consisting of $4.25 million of Term Finance Certificates, a Term Loan of $ 2.009 million, and, long term and short-term borrowings of $2.33 million. These debt facilities are secured and require significant cash to fund principal and interest payments on our debt. We are required to make debt repayments of US$4.17 million in the coming twelve months and we believe that sufficient funds will be generated through the operations and also with the financial support of the parent company, however rising interest rates by the United States Federal Reserve and the ensuing threat of global recession may result in lower revenues. We are currently in discussions for a private placement of our common shares pursuant to Regulation S exclusion from the Section 5 registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") for offers made outside the United States by both U.S. and foreign issuers to non-U.S Persons.

 We expect to raise a minimum of $5 million to a maximum of $10 million by June 30, 2024. Delay in private placement is due to delay in trading of Company common shares.

 While there is no guarantee that any of these methods will result in raising sufficient funds to meet our capital needs or that even if available will be on terms acceptable to us, we will be very cautious and prudent about any new capital raise given the global market uncertainties. However, we are very conscious of the dilutive effect and price pressures in raising equity-based capital.

 Despite the challenging environment, we are continually expanding our FTTH network using our existing equipment inventory consisting of Fiber Optic Cable, Customer Premises Equipment without having to deploy additional capital to purchase such equipment. The continual deployment will result in additional revenues for the company.

 As possible acquisitions and mergers, we actively review them against our objectives including, among other considerations, improving the operational efficiency, achieving synergies, product development or technical capabilities of our business, and achieving appropriate return targets, and we may participate in the extent we believe these possibilities present attractive opportunities. Our projected cash needs and projected sources of liquidity depend upon, among other things, our actual results, and the timing and amount of our expenditures with the main focus on growth in international termination traffic, FTTH rollout, Data, and Fiber sales and thereby converting the same in escalation in the bottom line of cash flows.

 The Company believes its balances of cash, and cash equivalents which totaled $3,261,539 as of December 31, 2023, along with cash generated by ongoing operations and continued access to debt/capital markets, will be sufficient to satisfy its cash requirements over the next 12 months and beyond. However, this includes restricted cash of $2,353,442 that is not available for immediate ordinary business use. We believe that our existing staffing levels are sufficient to service additional customers.

 Cash flows from operating, investing, and financing Activities:

 Cash and Cash Equivalents: We held $3,261,539 and $3,120,573 cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively. Which includes restricted cash of $2,353,442 and $2,364,341 that is not available for immediate ordinary business use.

 Operating Activities: Net cash provided by operating activities increase during the ongoing year by $ 4.67 million primarily due to an increase in EBITDA mainly on account of increase in international termination, FTTH sales and forex translational losses increasing operating expenses insurmountably. Net cash used in operating activities for the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022 was $(2.92) million and $(7.59) million, respectively.

 Investing Activities: Net cash used in/generated from investing activities for the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022 was $ 0.13 million and $ 0.08 million, respectively. The increase in cash used was primarily due to the encashment of investments to augment the returns.

 Financing Activities: Net cash used in financing activities show a decrease of $0.40 million during the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to the year ended December 31, 2022.

 Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 Our significant accounting policies are described in the notes to our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, and are included elsewhere in this annual report on Form 10-K.

 We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions about future events and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expense, and related disclosures. We base our estimates, assumptions, and judgments on historical experience, current trends, and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. The accounting estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements will change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained, and as our operating environment changes. On a regular basis, we review our accounting policies, estimates, assumptions, and judgments to ensure that our financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material. The methods, estimates and judgments that we use in applying our accounting policies have a significant impact on our results of operations.

 Critical accounting policies are those policies used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements that require management to make difficult, subjective, or complex adjustments, and to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

 Revenue from Contracts with Customers:

 We account for revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those services. We enter contracts that can include various combinations of services, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations.

 We derive revenue from six primary sources: (1) International Termination Services, (2) Indefeasible Right of Use (IRU) Services, (3) Cable TV and Internet Services, (4) Metro Fiber Solutions, (5) Capacity Sale Services, and (6) Advertisement Services. All our revenue arrangements are based on contracts with customers. Most of our contracts with customers contain single performance obligations, although certain contracts do contain multiple performance obligations where we perform more than one service for the same customer. We account for individual performance obligations separately if they are distinct within the context of the contract. For contracts where we provide multiple services such as where we perform multiple ancillary services, each service represents its own performance obligation. Selling or transaction prices are based on the contractual prices for each service at its stand-alone selling price.

 A five-step approach is applied in the recognition of revenue under ASC 606: (1) identify the contract with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when we satisfy a performance obligation.

 International termination services:

 This service represents the international inbound traffic terminated in Pakistan via Company's network to the local mobile network operators such as Mobilink, Zong, Telenor, and Ufone. Revenue from terminating minutes is recognized at the time the call is made over the network of the Company. There is a postpaid billing invoicing cycle for such services.

 Indefeasible Right of Use (IRU) services:

 It is a distinct performance obligation whereby the Company enters into a contractual agreement to grant an Indefeasible Right of Use (IRU) of dark fiber up to 20 years or more. Revenue is recognized at the time of delivery of services and acceptance by the customer.

 Cable TV and internet services:

 Cable television is a video delivery service provided by the Company to retail and commercial subscribers via coaxial cable and fiber optics, whereas Internet service is the delivery of data service provided by the Company to the subscribers via coaxial cable and fiber optics. The Company is providing Fiber to the Home ("FTTH") services which is not a distinct performance obligation, but rather a component of connectivity services. The Company charges a connection and membership fee at the time of setting up the connection. Subscription revenue from Cable TV, internet over cable, cable connectivity, and the channels subscription fee are recognized on the provision of services. Connection and membership fee is recognized at the time of sale of connection. The Company follows an advance billing invoicing cycle for such services.

 Metro fiber solutions:

 This revenue stream represents the point-to-point (P2P) connectivity, the latest Dark Fiber internet technology to its high-end large-scale multinational companies, IT companies, and leading educational institutions in major cities of Pakistan. Dark Fiber refers to fiber optic networks with no service or traffic running on the fiber strands. Unlike managed fiber services, Dark Fiber gives the maximum level of control to businesses, allowing them to use their preferred protocol and manage and maintain their own equipment. Dark Fiber has the capability to offer near limitless capacity, as well as providing the assurance of dedicated connectivity. It can be termed as a fiber corridor offering Committed information rate (CIR), fiber and data services, making it an excellent choice for organizations who require a dedicated, high-capacity, secure service. Revenue from metro fiber solutions is recognized for the delivery of goods and services.

 Capacity sale services:

 These are the services arrangements whereby the Company enters into a contractual agreement to provide a portion of the capacity of fiber, wherein the rights are given to the customers for a longer period i.e., 20 years or more. Revenue therefrom is recognized at the time of delivery and acceptance by the customer.

 Advertisement services:

 This revenue relates to the commercials of the different businesses, which are aired on the Company's cable TV network. The Company offers advertisements to corporate, Small and Medium Enterprises, and retail customers on its in-house entertainment channels. There is a vast range of advertising packages tailor-made and customized according to specific client requirements at highly economical rates. Clients can opt for multiple modes of advertising such as Multiple Scrolls, Multiple Logos, L-Shape, Time-checks, TVC, Documentary, and Channel Branding. Advertisement income is recognized based on spots run when commercials are aired on the network. The Company follows a postpaid billing invoicing cycle for such services.

 Business Combinations:

 The Company accounts for business combinations under the provisions of ASC 805, Business Combinations, which requires business combinations under the common control method. Under the common control method, we recognize the business combination by combining the historical carrying amounts of the assets, liabilities, and equity of the combining entities as of the date of combination. The financial statements reflect the assumption that the combining entities have been operating as a single economic entity throughout the period of common control. No fair value adjustments are made to the carrying amounts of the combining entities' assets, liabilities, and equity, as the transaction is considered a transfer of ownership interests between entities under common control. Acquisition-related expenses are recognized separately from the business combinations and are expensed as incurred.

 Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 As of December 31, 2023, and 2022, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special-purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

 Contractual Obligations and Commitments

 We have contractual obligations under our financing arrangements. We also maintain operating leases for office premises. We were in compliance with all debt covenants in 2023.

 Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 We are exposed to financial market risks, including changes in currency exchange rates and interest rates.

 Foreign Currency Exchange Risk Economic Exposure. We transact business in various foreign currencies and have significant international revenues, as well as costs denominated in foreign currencies. This exposes us to the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Since the majority of the Company's operations are based in the Pakistan region where the Pakistan Rupee is continuously losing its value against the US Dollar. The devaluation of the Pakistan Rupee results in a foreign exchange loss to the Company, however because our debts are denominated in Pakistani Rupees our dollar value of debts decreases which offsets our downside risk.

 Based upon our analysis we do-not believe in our interest to hedge Pakistan currency.

 Economic Exposure

 We transact business in various foreign currencies and have significant international revenues, as well as costs denominated in foreign currencies. This exposes us to the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Since the majority of the Company's operations are based in the Asia Pacific region where the Pakistan Rupee is continuously losing its value against the US Dollar and we don't have any imports; therefore, we believe it is counter-productive to hedge this exposure. The devaluation of the Pakistan Rupee results in a foreign exchange gain to the Company.

 Transaction Exposure

 Our exposure to foreign currency transaction gains and losses is the result of certain net receivables due from our foreign subsidiaries and customers being denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the subsidiary, primarily the Euro, Yuan, Baht and the Pakistan Rupee. Our foreign subsidiaries conduct their businesses in local currency. Since the majority of the Company's operations are based in the Asia Pacific region where the Pakistan Rupee is continuously losing its value against the US Dollar and we don't have any imports; therefore, we believe it is counter-productive to hedge this exposure.

 Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

 The audit report of Kamran Saeed, Chartered Professional Accountants, and our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 follow on pages F-1 through F-39.

 Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

 On March 20, 2024, M/s Crowe Hussain Chaudhary & Co Chartered Accountants resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company effective immediately.

 M/s Crowe Hussain Chaudhary & Co audited the financial statements of the Company for the two years ended 31 December 2022 and 2021. The report of Crowe Hussain Chaudhary & Co on such financial statements, did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

 For the past two fiscal years and subsequent interim periods though the date of resignation, there have been no disagreements between the Company and Crowe Hussain Chaudhary & Co on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure. Any disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Crowe Hussain Chaudhary & Co, would have caused them to make reference thereto in their report on the financial statements.

 On March 25, 2024, the Company has appointed M/s Saeed Kamran & Co as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the Company's fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

 During the two most recent fiscal years and in subsequent interim period through March 25, 2024, the Company has not consulted with M/s Saeed Kamran & Co with respect to the applications of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that would have been rendered on the Company's consolidated financial statements or any other matter set forth in item 304(a)(1)(iv) or (v) of Regulation S-K.

 Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

 Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, our management evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2023.

 Our management, with the participation of our president (our principal executive officer, principal accounting officer and principal financial officer), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our president (our principal executive officer, principal accounting officer and principal financial officer) has concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information that is required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our president (our principal executive officer and our principal accounting officer and principal financial officer), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our president (our principal executive officer and our principal accounting officer and principal financial officer), to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of our company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of our company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of our company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not provide absolute assurance that a misstatement of our financial statements would be prevented or detected.

 Further, the evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting was made as of a specific date, and continued effectiveness in future periods is subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 Management has conducted, with the participation of our president (our principal executive officer and our principal accounting officer and principal financial officer), an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023 in accordance with the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Tread Way Commission ("COSO") in Internal Control — Integrated Framework. Based on this assessment, management concluded that as of December 31, 2023, our company's internal control over financial reporting was not effective based on present company activity. In the course of making our assessment, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. This material weakness consisted of inadequate staffing and supervision within the bookkeeping and accounting operations of our company. The relatively small number of staffs who have bookkeeping and accounting functions prevents us from segregating duties within our internal control system. The inadequate segregation of duties is a weakness which could lead to the untimely identification and resolution of accounting and disclosure matters or could lead to a failure to perform timely and effective reviews. We have also considered the potential impact of additional material weaknesses on internal controls over financial reporting as a result of the restatements and management concluded that there were no additional material weakness. Our company is in the process of adopting specific internal control mechanisms with our board and officers' collaboration to ensure effectiveness as we grow. We are presently engaging an outside consultant to assist in adopting new measures to improve upon our internal controls. Future controls, among other things, will include more checks and balances and communication strategies between the management and the board to ensure efficient and effective oversight over company activities as well as more stringent accounting policies to track and update our financial reporting.

 This annual report does not include an attestation report from our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only the management's report in this annual report.

 Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2023 that have materially or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

 any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses);

 having any administrative proceeding been threatened against you related to their involvement in any type of business, securities, or banking activity.

 Other Directorships

 None of our other officers and directors are directors of other Securities and Exchange Commission reporting companies.

 Conflicts of Interest

 Our Chief Executive Officer, President, and Director, Dana Green devotes his full time to our business under the terms of his employment contract. Dean Christenson is our corporate secretary and he devotes 4 hours per week to our business.

 Our only other executive officer, Dean Christenson, our corporate secretary is not obligated to commit his full time and attention to our business; accordingly, he may encounter a conflict of interest in allocating his time between our operations and those of other businesses. Dean Christenson only devotes 16 hours each month to our business and is not contractually required to devote full time services to us. In the future, our officers and directors may engage in other business activities, investments and business opportunities that may be appropriate for presentation to us as well as other entities to which they owe a fiduciary duty. As a result, they may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented. Our officers and directors may also in the future become affiliated with entities, engaged in business activities similar to those we intend to conduct. In general, officers and directors of a corporation are required to present business opportunities to a corporation if:

 the corporation could financially undertake the opportunity;

 the opportunity is within the corporation's line of business; and

 it would be unfair to the corporation and its stockholders not to bring the opportunity to the attention of the corporation.

 Code of Ethics

 We plan to adopt a Code of Ethics in the future, at the latest prior to our stock being listed on an exchange that requires us to have a formal Code of Ethics.

 Audit Committee

 We do not currently have an audit committee or a committee performing similar functions. The board of directors as a whole participates in the review of financial statements and disclosure.

 Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports

 Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers, directors and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our common stock and other equity securities. These executive officers, directors, and greater than 10% beneficial owners are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms filed by such reporting persons.

 Based solely upon our review of the Section 16(a) filings that have been furnished to us, we believe that each of Dana Green, our Chief Executive Officer, President, Director; Dean Christensen, our Secretary; Charles J. Bartolotta, our Director; James A. Gibbons, our Director; Mehmet Ulema, our Director; Mehdi Mohamed Jawad Abdullah Al Abduwani, our Director; and David Julian Fox, our Director, and Babar Ali Syed and Muhammed Azhar Saeed, each greater than 10% stockholders of the Company, failed to file required Form 3 filings.

 Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters

 The following tables set forth the ownership, as of April 16, 2024, of our common stock by each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent (5%) of our outstanding common stock, our directors, and our named executive officers and directors as a group. To the best of our knowledge, the persons named have sole voting and investment power with respect to such shares, except as otherwise noted. There are not any pending or anticipated arrangements that may cause a change in control.

 The information presented below regarding beneficial ownership of our voting securities has been presented in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not necessarily indicative of ownership for any other purpose. Under these rules, a person is deemed to be a "beneficial owner" of a security if that person has or shares the power to vote or direct the voting of the security or the power to dispose or direct the disposition of the security. A person is deemed to own beneficially any security as to which such person has the right to acquire sole or shared voting or investment power within sixty (60) days through the conversion or exercise of any convertible security, warrant, option or other right. More than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities. The percentage of beneficial ownership by any person as of a particular date is calculated by dividing the number of shares beneficially owned by such person, which includes the number of shares as to which such person has the right to acquire voting or investment power within sixty (60) days, by the sum of the number of shares outstanding as of such date plus the number of shares as to which such person has the right to acquire voting or investment power within sixty (60) days. Consequently, the denominator used for calculating such percentage may be different for each beneficial owner.

 Beneficial ownership as set forth below is based on our review of our record stockholders list and public ownership reports filed by certain stockholders of the Company, and may not include certain securities held in brokerage accounts or beneficially owned by the stockholders described below.

 We believe that, except as otherwise noted and subject to applicable community property laws, each person named in the following table has sole investment and voting power with respect to the shares of common stock shown as beneficially owned by such person. Unless otherwise indicated, the address for each of the officers or directors listed in the table below is 3550 Barron Way Suite 13a, Reno, Nevada, USA.

 Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence

 Other than described above, we have not entered into any material transactions with any director, executive officer, and promoter, beneficial owner of five percent (5%) or more of our common stock, or family members of such persons in the prior two (2) years.

 On April 13, 2022, as a result of the Reorganization, we issued 88,463,156 shares of our common stock to Babar Ali Syed, the Director of WorldCALL Public, Director of WorldCall Private and Director of FZC, representing 63.30% of the outstanding shares, and 28,445,122 shares of our common stock to Muhammed Azhar Saeed, the Director of WorldCALL Public, Director of Worldcall Private and Director of FZC, representing 20.04% of the outstanding shares.

 Other Directorships

 None of our other officers and directors are directors of other Securities and Exchange Commission reporting companies.

 Conflicts of Interest

 Our Chief Executive Officer, President, and Director, Dana Green devotes his full time to our business under the terms of his employment contract. Dean Christenson is our corporate secretary and he devotes 4 hours per week to our business.

 Our only other executive officer, Dean Christenson, our corporate secretary is not obligated to commit his full time and attention to our business; accordingly, he may encounter a conflict of interest in allocating his time between our operations and those of other businesses.

 the corporation could financially undertake the opportunity;

 the opportunity is within the corporation's line of business; and

 it would be unfair to the corporation and its stockholders not to bring the opportunity to the attention of the corporation.

 Corporate Governance and Director Independence

 Our Board of Directors has 4 directors, Dana Green, Charles J Bartolotta, James A Gibbons and Mehmet Ulema. Our 55% subsidiary WorldCALL Public has 7 directors, Muhammad Shoaib, Muhammad Azhar Saeed, Mubasher Lucman, Hina Babar, Faisal Ahmed, Mansoor Ali and Tariq Hasan. Our 100% subsidiary Worldcall Private has 3 directors, Babar Ali Syed, Muhammad Azhar Saeed and Mansoor Ali. Our 100% subsidiary FZC has 2 directors, Babar Ali Syed and Muhammad Azhar Saeed.

 On December 14, 2021, each of our directors, Dana Green, Charles J Bartolotta, James A Gibbons, and Mehmet Ulema, were awarded options to purchase 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock for services rendered. We valued these options at $0.0001 per option or an aggregate of $100.

 We have not established Audit, Compensation, and Nominating or Governance Committees as standing committees. The Board does not have an executive committee or any committees performing a similar function. We are not currently listed on a national securities exchange or in an inter-dealer quotation system that has requirements that a majority of the board of directors be independent. The Board has determined that no members of the Board are "independent" under the definition set forth in the listing standards of the NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc., which is the definition that the Board has chosen to use for the purposes of the determining independence. Therefore, none of our current Board members are independent.

 Item 14. Principal Accountant Fees and Services

 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 Board of Directors and Shareholders
 GlobalTech Corporation

 Opinion on the financial statements

 We have Audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of GlobalTech Corporation (a Nevada corporation) and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2023, the related consolidated statements of operation, comprehensive income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2023 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2023 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 Material uncertainty relating to going concern

 The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in the Note 25 to the consolidated financial statements a subsidiary of the Company, WorldCall Telecom Limited, has incurred loss after taxation for the year ended December 31, 2023, and has accumulated deficit as on that date. These conditions, along with the other factors like contingencies and commitments, indicate the existence of material uncertainties that cast significant doubt about the subsidiary's ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, it may be unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

 Basis for opinion

 These consolidated 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 Audit.
 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 Audit 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. Our Audit 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 Audit 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 Audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 Board of Directors and Shareholders
 GlobalTech Corporation

 Opinion on the financial statements

 We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of GlobalTech Corporation (a Nevada corporation) and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2022 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 As disclosed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has restated its 2021 and 2022 previously issued consolidated financial statements to reflect correction of error.

 Material uncertainty relating to going concern

 The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in the Note 25 to the consolidated financial statements a subsidiary of the Company, WorldCall Telecom Limited, has incurred loss after taxation of $7.16 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, and having accumulated losses amounting to $69.48 million as on that date. These conditions, along with the other factors like declining revenue and contingencies and commitments, indicate the existence of material uncertainties that cast significant doubt about the subsidiary's ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, it may be unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

 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. 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.

 2. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 Basis of Consolidation — We have prepared consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). These financial statements include the operating results and financial condition of GlobalTech Corporation, its wholly-owned subsidiaries; WSL (acquired on November 2021), Ferret Consulting FZC (acquired on November 2021), its majority-owned subsidiary WTL and Rout 1 Digital (Pvt) Limited. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 Significant Accounting Policies:

 Revenue Recognition — We account for revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those services. We enter contracts that can include various combinations of services, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations.

 We derive revenue from six primary sources: (1) International Termination Services, (2) Indefeasible Right of Use (IRU) Services, (3) Cable TV and Internet Services, (4) Metro Fiber Solutions, (5) Capacity Sale Services, and (6) Advertisement Services. All our revenue arrangements are based on contracts with customers. Most of our contracts with customers contain single performance obligations, although certain contracts do contain multiple performance obligations where we perform more than one service for the same customer. We account for individual performance obligations separately if they are distinct within the context of the contract. For contracts where we provide multiple services such as where we perform multiple ancillary services, each service represents its own performance obligation. Selling or transaction prices are based on the contractual prices for each service at its stand-alone selling price.

 A five-step approach is applied in the recognition of revenue under ASC 606: (1) identify the contract with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when we satisfy a performance obligation.

 Payment of invoices is due as specified in the underlying customer agreement, typically advance payments to 30 days from the invoice date, which occurs on the date of transfer of control of the services to the customer. Since payment terms are less than a year, we have elected the practical expedient and do not assess whether a customer contract has a significant financing component. The Company's revenue arrangements generally do not include a general right of refund for services provide.

 Direct Operating Costs — Direct operating costs consist primarily of salaries and benefits related to personnel who provide services to client, annual PTA fees and other direct costs related to the Company's services. Costs associated with the implementation of new clients are expensed as incurred. The Company incurred approximately $ 0.44 million and $ 0.65 million of payroll costs for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 Other Operating Costs — Other operating costs consist primarily of compensation and benefits, travel and advertising expenses and are expensed as incurred. The Company incurred approximately $ 0.89 million and $ 1 million of payroll costs for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 Business Combinations — The Company accounts for business combinations under the provisions of ASC 805, Business Combinations, which requires business combinations under the common control method. Under the common control method, we recognize the business combination by combining the historical carrying amounts of the assets, liabilities, and equity of the combining entities as of the date of combination. The financial statements reflect the assumption that the combining entities have been operating as a single economic entity throughout the period of common control. No fair value adjustments are made to the carrying amounts of the combining entities' assets, liabilities, and equity, as the transaction is considered a transfer of ownership interests between entities under common control. Acquisition-related expenses are recognized separately from the business combinations and are expensed as incurred.

 The Plan and Agreement of Reorganization (as disclosed in note 1) has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition where EBI is a legal acquirer (the accounting acquiree) and WHI; is a legal acquiree (the accounting acquirer). The fair value of WHI's net assets was reliably measured using trading price of WTL Stock. which was $0.012 as on the date of reorganization i.e., December 31, 2021.

 In accordance with ASC 805-40, the fair value of the consideration effectively transferred has been calculated using the number of WHI's shares that would have been issued to the shareholders of EBI on the acquisition date to give EBI's shareholders an equivalent ownership interest in WHI as it has in the Company (WHI would had to issue 35,294 shares to EBI's shareholders). Consideration effectively transferred has been computed to be approximately $423.53 (35,294 shares multiplied by the fair value of WTL's shares of $ 0.012) against the assumed fair value of EBI's net assets amounting to $ 419,181.

 The Company determined the fair value of the EBI's assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as the valuation of the WHI's shares to be issued to compute effective consideration. The Company used generally accepted valuation techniques and methodologies to arrive at the fair values disclosed above i.e., discounted cash flow and replacement cost method.

 As per Guidance ASC 805-40-45-1, ASC 805-40-30-2, ASC 805-40-55-8 through ASC 805-40-55-10 (2.10 Reverse Acquisitions-Viewpoint-PwC): As on December 31, 2021, following accounting treatment has been applied to reflect this reverse acquisition and also separately disclosed as Adjustments under business reorganization arrangement (note 1) in the consolidated statement of changes in equity on page F-7 of this annual report 10-K.

 $

 This transaction resulted into a bargain purchase gain due to several factors including eventual listing of shares of common stock of the Company on NASDAQ in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations.

 Income Taxes — Income tax expense includes U.S., Pakistan and other international income taxes, and interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions. Certain income and expenses are not reported in tax returns and financial statements in the same year. The tax effect of such temporary differences is reported as deferred income taxes. Deferred tax assets are reported net of a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. All deferred income taxes are classified as long-term.

 Fair Value Measurements — ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, requires the disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. The Company follows a fair value measurement hierarchy to measure financial instruments. The fair value of the Company's financial instruments is measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy as follows:

 Level 1 – inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
 Level 2 – inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques (e.g. the Black-Scholes model) for which all significant inputs are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
 Level 3 – inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management's estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques, including option pricing models and discounted cash flow models.

 These financial instruments are subject to fair value adjustments only in certain circumstances and include cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, borrowings under term loans and line of credit, and other payables. Due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments and that the borrowings bear interest at prevailing market rates, the carrying value approximates the fair value.

 Accounts Receivable - net — Accounts receivable are stated at their net realizable value. Accounts receivable are presented on the consolidated balance sheet net of an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is established based on reviews of the accounts receivable aging, an assessment of the customer's history and current creditworthiness, and the probability of collection. Accounts are written off when it is determined that collection of the outstanding balance is no longer probable.

 Property, Plant, and Equipment — Tangible assets classified as property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any identified impairment loss. Additions are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any identified impairment loss. Cost in relation to self-constructed assets includes the direct cost of material, labor, and other allocable expenses.

 Depreciation on owned assets is charged to the statement of profit or loss account on the straight-line method to write off the cost or revalued amount of an asset over its estimated useful life.

 Depreciation on additions is charged from the month in which the assets are available for use while no depreciation is charged in the month in which the assets are disposed of.

 The depreciation method, residual value, and useful lives of assets are reviewed at least at each financial year end and adjusted if the impact on depreciation is significant.

 An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

 The gain or loss on disposal of an asset represented by the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized as an income or expense.

 Loans and advances — Loans to employees are provided as per the Company's policies and are secured against their gratuity and are adjusted against the provision of adjustments.

 Advances to vendors are provided for provision of goods and services and they are secured either by a security deposit or a legally enforceable right to recover.

 Loans and advances are carried at fair value through profit or loss and are initially recognized at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in the statement of profit or loss account. The fair value is determined using inputs observable in the market, which are classified as level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. They are considered a non-recurring fair value measurement and are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair value measurement considers market interest rates and the creditworthiness of the borrowers or other parties.

 Long term loans and other assets — Loans and other assets including deposits are provided to different parties and vendors which are recoverable either through a security deposit or a legally enforceable right.

 These assets are carried at fair value through profit or loss and are initially recognized at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in the statement of profit or loss account. The fair value is determined using inputs observable in the market, which are classified as level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. They are considered a non-recurring fair value measurement and are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair value measurement considers market interest rates and the creditworthiness of the borrowers or other parties.

 Intangible Assets — Intangible assets are subject to amortization and are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated period of benefit. The recoverability of intangible assets is evaluated periodically by taking into account events or circumstances that may warrant revised estimates of useful lives or that indicate the asset may be impaired.

 Evaluation of Long-Lived Assets — The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of undiscounted expected future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset group, the Company will recognize an impairment loss based on the fair value of the asset.

 There was no impairment of internal-use software costs, intangible assets or property and equipment during the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022.

 Leases — We account for lease arrangements in accordance with ASC 842, Leases. An arrangement is determined as a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets, other current liabilities, and operating lease liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property and equipment, other current liabilities, and other long-term liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.

 ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term.

 Earnings Per Share — The company calculates earnings per share in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 260, "Earnings Per Share." Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts that are potentially dilutive were exercised or converted into common stock.

 The company presents both basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement. The company also provides a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the EPS calculations in the footnotes to the financial statements, in case of any change occurred during the year.

 Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding, adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

 Foreign Currency Translation — The financial statements of the Company's foreign subsidiaries are translated from their functional currency into U.S. dollars, the Company's functional currency. All foreign currency assets and liabilities are translated at the period-end exchange rate, and all revenue and expenses are translated at average exchange rates. The effects of translating the financial statements of the foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars are reported as a cumulative translation adjustment, a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) in the consolidated statements of shareholders' equity. Foreign currency transaction gains/losses are reported as a component of other income–net in the consolidated statements of operations. The US$/PKR exchange rates used for the translation of PKR-denominated assets and liabilities are Rs. 282.4 and Rs. 226.9 as on December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 Use of Estimates — The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions made by management include but are not limited to: (1) impairment of long-lived assets, (2) depreciable lives of assets, (3) allowance for doubtful accounts, (4) fair value of identifiable tangible and intangible assets, including determination of expected useful life, (5) estimating lease terms and incremental borrowing rates. Actual results could significantly differ from those estimates.

 Recent Accounting Pronouncements — From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") and are adopted by us as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, we believe that the impact of recently adopted and recently issued accounting pronouncements will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The guidance in Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13 replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology under current GAAP. The new impairment model requires immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur for most financial assets and certain other instruments. It will apply to all entities. For trade receivables, loans, and held-to-maturity debt securities, entities will be required to estimate lifetime expected credit losses. This may result in the earlier recognition of credit losses. In November, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, which delays this standard's effective date for SEC smaller reporting companies to the fiscal years interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2022. The Company adopted the new guidance on January 1, 2023 and the adoption of this new guidance had no material impact of the consolidated financial statements. As per the new guidance accounts receivable are presented on the consolidated balance sheet net of an allowance for credit losses, which is established based on reviews of the accounts receivable aging, an assessment of the customer's history and current creditworthiness, and the probability of collection. The Company routinely reviews its receivables and makes provisions for the credit losses utilizing the Current Expected Credit Losses model ("CECL"). The CECL model utilizes a lifetime expected credit loss measurement objective for the recognition of credit losses for loans and other receivables at the time the financial asset is originated or acquired. However, those provisions are estimates and actual results may materially differ from those estimates. Trade receivables are deemed uncollectible and are removed from accounts receivable and the allowance for credit losses when collection efforts have been exhausted.

 In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This ASU simplifies accounting for income taxes to reduce complexity in the accounting standards. The amendments consist of the removal of certain exceptions to the general principles of ASC 740 and some additional simplifications. The amendments are not required to be implemented until 2021 for public entities. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2021. There was no impact on the consolidated financial statements as a result of this standard.

 In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). This ASU simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity's own equity. The amendments are not required to be implemented until 2022 for public entities. There was no impact on the consolidated financial statements as a result of this standard.

 In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805) – Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. The amendments in this update require acquiring entities to apply Topic 606 to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination. The amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company determined that this update will not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 Deposits in escrow account: It represents balance in savings accounts accumulated in Escrow Account. The telecom operators challenged the legality of Access Promotion Contribution (APC) for Universal Service Fund (USF), as levied by Pakistan Telecommunication Authority ("PTA") in 2009, and the dispute was finally decided by the honorable Supreme Court in December 2015. During pendency of the court proceedings, International Clearing House (ICH) agreement was signed in 2012, whereby it was decided that regular contributions for APC, based on each operator's share under the ICH agreement, shall be made by LDI operators in an Escrow Account.

 The formation of ICH was declared anti-competitive by the Competition Commission of Pakistan, and resultantly PTA issued a policy directive in June 2014 terminating ICH arrangement. Some operators challenged this termination and obtained interim relief from Sindh High Court and Lahore High Court. However, Supreme Court adjudicated the matter in February 2015 in favor of termination of ICH, and pursuant upon this, PTA issued its notification of termination of ICH arrangement. As of now, the mechanism of the adjustment of the amount available in Escrow Account remains to be finalized.

 Margin and other deposits include deposits placed with banks against various guarantees. This amount also includes approximately $ 88,144 deposited in a Court of Law as disclosed in a relevant note of contingencies and commitments.

 8. LEASES

 We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. We have operating leases for office and temporary living space. Operating leases are included in operating lease ROU assets, current operating lease liability and non-current operating lease liability in our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. The Company does not have any finance leases.

 ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of lease payments over the lease term.

 As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our estimated incremental borrowing rates, which are derived from information available at the lease commencement date, in determining the present value of lease payments. We give consideration to our bank financing arrangements, geographical location and collateralization of assets when calculating our incremental borrowing rates. Our lease terms include options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Leases with a term of less than 12 months are not recorded in the consolidated balance sheets. Our lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees. For real estate leases, we account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. Some leases include escalation clauses and termination options that are factored in the determination of the lease payments when appropriate.

 If a lease is modified after the effective date, the operating lease ROU asset and liability is re-measured using the current incremental borrowing rate. We review our incremental borrowing rate for our portfolio of leases on a quarterly basis. Lease expense is included in direct operating costs and general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations based on the nature of the expense.

 This represents the balance amount of the license fee payable to the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) for WLL licenses. The Company had filed an application with PTA for a grant of moratorium overpayment of balance amount of WLL license. However, PTA rejected the Company's application and demanded its payment. Being aggrieved by this, the Company filed an appeal before Islamabad High Court ("IHC") against PTA's order. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Information Technology ("Ministry") through its letter dated August 30, 2011, allowed the operators, the staggering for settlement of Access Promotion Contribution ("APC") and Initial Spectrum Fee ("ISF") dues and required PTA to submit an installment plan for this purpose after consultations with the operators. In respect of an appeal filed by the Company, IHC took notice of the Ministry's letter and directed PTA through its order dated January 20, 2015, to expeditiously proceed with the preparation and submission of the said installment plan. As of this date, no such installment plan has been submitted by PTA.

 PTA has withdrawn the frequencies 3.5 GHz, 479 MHz, 450 MHz, and 1900 MHz. PTA in haste and unilaterally has withdrawn 3.5 GHz and 479 MHz frequencies which have already been paid in full till 2024. Through said decision PTA has also withdrawn 1900 MHz frequency spectrum which was already withdrawn by PTA/FAB in 2015 (11th year) until which the spectrum is fully paid on the basis of actual period of usage by the Company, The WLL License provides for such eventuality that when frequency spectrum is withdrawn, the licensee is to be compensated for the balance life of the frequency spectrum, therefore, after withdrawal of spectrum, there is no outstanding amount to be paid related to 1900 MHz frequency spectrum.

 As a consequence of above, during last year the outstanding liability for 1900 MHz was reduced to zero on the basis that 1900 MHz frequency had been fully paid for until 2015 (11th year). Similarly, liability for 450MHz frequency spectrum was reduced on pro-rata after withdrawal. Owing to these circumstances, the management does not expect the liability to materialize fully in the near future.

 17. CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS

 Billing disputes with Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited ("PTCL")

 WHI and its subsidiaries ("The Group") has a dispute of USD 0.26 million (2022: USD 0.32 million) with Pakistan Telecommunication Limited (PTCL) in respect of non-revenue time of prepaid calling cards and USD 0.17 million (2022: USD 0.21 million) in respect of excess minutes billed on account of interconnect and settlement charges. Similarly, PTCL has charged the Company excess Domestic Private Lease Circuits ("DPLC") and other media charges amounting to USD 1.18 million (2022: USD 1.47 million) on account of difference in rates, distances and date of activations. The management has taken up these issues with PTCL and considers that these would most likely be decided in Company's favor as there are reasonable grounds to defend the Company's stance. Hence, no provision has been made in these financial statements for the above amounts.

 Disputes with Pakistan Telecommunication Authority ("PTA")

 WHI and its subsidiaries ("The Group") have filed a suit before Civil Court, Lahore on December 15, 2016 in which it has sought restraining order against PTA demands of regulatory and other dues and claimed set off from damages / compensation claim of the Company on account of auction of preoccupied frequency spectrum. The Company has raised a claim of approximately USD 18.77 million against PTA. The matter is pending adjudication. As per management it is difficult to predict the outcome of the case at this stage.

 'During the year 2016, PTA again demanded immediate payment of the principal amount of APC amounting to USD 6.25 million along with default surcharge thereon amounting to USD 5.86 million as of July 31, 2016 vide its notice dated December 1, 2016. Through the aforesaid show cause notice, PTA has also shown intentions to impose penal provisions to levy fine up to USD 1.24 million or to suspend or terminate the LDI license by issuance of an enforcement order against the Company. The Company has challenged the show cause notice before the Sindh High Court on December 13, 2016 wherein the Court has passed orders restraining PTA from cancelling the licenses of the Company and from taking any coercive action against it. The matter is at the stage of hearing of applications. Based on the advice of the legal counsel, the Company's management feels that there are strong grounds to defend the Company's stance and the liability will not materialize, hence, no provision has been made in these financial statements for the amounts of default surcharge and fine.

 'PTA has raised demand amounting to USD 0.11 million on account of using extra Radio Spectrum not assigned to the Company. The Company challenged this amount on July 3, 2012 before Islamabad High Court which has allowed appeal of the Company. PTA went into appeal before the Honourable Supreme Court of Pakistan in March 2017 which got dismissed. Now, PTA has filed review application which is still pending. The management is hopeful that its viewpoint shall be upheld; thus no provision has been incorporated in these financial statements against this demand.

 The Group maintains that PTA has allegedly issued an arbitrary order for recovery of annual radio frequency spectrum fee for the year ended 2011,2012,2013,2014 and 2015 along with late payment charges amounting in total to USD 0.19 million. The Company has assailed the order before honourable Lahore High Court on June 28, 2016 on the ground that officers of PTA could not issue such an order as they had not issued the show cause notice. The Honourable High Court has allowed the petition and remanded the case to PTA for decision afresh. In another suit filed by the Company before Honourable Lahore High Court, PTA has also demanded applicable late payment charges on impugned non-payment of annual radio spectrum fee. The question of law has been resolved by the Honourable High Court on March 21, 2018 and it was held that PTA's decision was appealable before PTA. Same was also upheld by the honourable Supreme Court on May 17, 2018. The management has filed appeals before PTA and the appeal was decided against the Company. Subsequent to year end appeal against PTA's order has been filled before the next judicial forum on January 12, 2021. The management is hopeful that its viewpoint shall be upheld; thus no provision has been incorporated in these financial statements for late payment charges.

 Moreover, the Group is confident that incidental liability, if any, will be set off by way of a claim filed against PTA.

 The Group has filed a suit before the High Court of Sindh on July 2, 2011 for declaration, injunction and recovery of USD 17.51 million against PTA praying, inter alia, for direction to PTA to determine the Access Promotion Contribution for Fixed Line Local Loop (APCL contribution) and Access Promotion Cost (APC) for Universal Service Fund (USF) strictly in accordance with the formula as per Rule 8(2) and (4) of 2004 Rules and Regulation 7 of 2005 Regulations; restraining PTA from taking coercive actions against the Company to recover the amounts of APCL and APC for USF and direction to PTA to submit accounts and information to the Honourable High Court with regard to collection and, utilization and application of APCL and APC for USF contributions. During the pendency of proceedings, the Court granted interim injunction to the Company and restrained PTA from taking any coercive action against the Group.

 'The said restraining order was dismissed by the learned single judge through a combined order dated July 27, 2018. The said order has been challenged by the Company before the Divisional Bench of the High Court on August 13, 2018 in High Court Appeal No. 222 of 2018. The management is hopeful that its viewpoint shall be upheld; thus no provision has been incorporated in these financial statements.

 'PTA has raised demand amounting to USD 0.06 million on account of BTS registration and microwave charges for the year 2007 till 2014. The Company challenged this amount in November 2019 before Lahore High Court which was pending adjudication. The grounds of these appeal were that these charges are ultra vires to the act and license. Therefore PTA had ordered for further proceeding and the appeal was withdrawn accordingly.

 PTA has filed recovery proceedings against the Company before the District Collector / District Officer Revenue, Lahore for an amount of USD 9.38 million including late payment charges on November 4, 2016 due to non-payment of initial spectrum fee (ISF). The Company has not received any notice from the Revenue department. During the year PTA again issued the notice against non-payment of ISF and increased the claim by USD 3.68 million.

 PTA has withdrawn the frequencies 3.5 Ghz,479 Mhz, 450 Mhz and 1900 Mhz. As per management the ISF for 3.5 Ghz and 479 Mhz is already fully paid till 2024. The outstanding liability for 1900 Mhz is reduced to zero on the basis that 1900 Mhz frequency has been fully paid for until 2015 (actual withdrawal year), Similarly, liability for 450Mhz frequency spectrum be reduced on prorata after withdrawal. Corresponding assets has also been retired.

 The Group has filed an appeal with Islamabad High Court on January 12, 2021 against said decision of PTA on similar lines as explained above and the Group's management and legal advisor feels that there are strong grounds to defend the Group's stance and that the principal amount and late payment charges determined unilaterally by PTA will not materialize, hence, no provision has been made in these financial statements.

 'PTA has demanded amounts of annual license fee (ALF) relating to Non-Voice Communication Network Services (NVCNS) through various demand notices. PTA has filed recovery proceedings against the Company before the District Collector / Deputy Commissioner, Lahore for an amount of USD 0.22 million on February 7, 2020 due to non-payment of annual license fee (ALF) relating to Non-Voice Communication Network Services (NVCNS). This includes principal portion of USD 0.11 million already recognized in the financial statements and late payment charges amounting to USD 0.11 million. The Company has not received any notice from the Revenue department. The Company's management and legal advisor feels that there are strong grounds to defend the Company's stance and that the late payment charges determined unilaterally by PTA will not materialize, hence, no provision has been made in these financial statements.

 'PTA had demanded an amount of USD 1.24 million in respect of fine and loss of USD 1.84 million on account of international telephony traffic. The case was decided by Islamabad High Court in favor of the Company, however, PTA went into appeal before the honourable Supreme Court of Pakistan. The honourable Supreme Court dismissed the appeal of PTA. PTA has now filed review petition No. 708 of 2019 before the Supreme Court of Pakistan on November 23, 2019 which is pending adjudication. The Company has not received any notice in this regard. The Company's management feels that there are strong grounds to defend the Company's stance, hence, no provision has been made in these financial statements.

 'PTA has issued show cause notice to the Company with the direction to pay annual regulatory dues for the years ended 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 cumulative amount of USD 0.42 Million along with late payment charges. The Company has filled the appeals against said notices with PTA which dismissed on December 04, 2020. The Company therefore filled the appeal in Sindh High Court on December 31, 2020 to set aside the order passed by PTA. The Court directed PTA not to take any coercive action against the Company. The management is hopeful that its viewpoint shall be upheld; thus no provision has been incorporated in these financial statements against this demand.

 'PTA determined the demand amounting to USD 0.79 million, on account of annual spectrum fee and other regulatory charges, vide its determination dated February 22, 2010. Being aggrieved, the Company's management preferred an appeal before the Honourable Lahore High Court ("LHC") on March 20, 2010 against the PTA's determination. LHC granted stay against the recovery subject to payment of USD 0.14 million which was complied by the Company. Based on the advice of the Company's legal counsel, the Company's management feels that there are strong grounds to defend the Company's position and the ultimate decision would be in the Company's favour.

 'Other than the amounts recognized in the financial statements and amounts disclosed in the above contingencies, PTA has also demanded amounts of USD 5.79 million on account of various charges, default surcharges / penalties / fines. Since the principal amount is disputed, the Company's management feels that there are strong grounds to defend the Company's stance and that the liability determined unilaterally by PTA will not materialize, hence, no provision has been made in these financial statements.

 Taxation issues in Pakistan

 'Separate returns of total income for the Tax Year 2003 were filed by M/s World call Communications Limited, M/s Worldcall Multimedia Limited, M/s Worldcall Broadband Limited and M/s Worldcall Phone Cards Limited, now merged into the Company. Such returns of income were amended by relevant officials under section 122(5A) of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001 ("Ordinance") through separate orders. Through such amendment orders, in addition to enhancement in aggregate tax liabilities by an amount of USD 0.04 million, tax losses declared by the respective companies too were curtailed by an aggregate amount of USD 0.23 million. The Company contested such amendment orders before Commissioner Inland Revenue (Appeals) [CIR(A)] and while amendment order for Worldcall Broadband Limited was annulled, partial relief was extended by CIR(A) in respect of appeals pertaining to other companies. The appellate orders extending partial relief were further assailed by the Company before Appellate Tribunal Inland Revenue (ATIR) in January 2010, which are pending adjudication. The Company's management considers that meritorious grounds exist to support the Company's stances and expects relief from ATIR in respect of all the issues being contested. Accordingly, no adjustments / liabilities on these accounts have been incorporated / recognized in these financial statements.

 'Through amendment order passed under section 122(5A) of the Ordinance, the Company's return of total income for Tax Year 2006 was amended and declared losses were curtailed by an amount of USD 2.76 million. The Company's appeal filed on September 18, 2007 was not entertained by CIR(A) and the amendment order was upheld whereupon the matter was further agitated before ATIR on July 8, 2008, which is pending adjudication. The Company's management expects relief from ATIR in respect of issues involved in the relevant appeal there being valid precedents available on record supporting the Company's stance. Accordingly, no adjustment on this account has been incorporated in these financial statements.

 'In computer balloting for total audit u/s 177 of the Ordinance, the Company was selected for total audit proceedings for the tax year 2009 and the same has been completed with the issuance of order under section 122(1)/122(5) of the Ordinance creating a demand of 0.74 million. Against the said impugned order, appeal has been filed before CIR(A) on August 5, 2019 by legal counsel of the Company. Based on the advice of the legal counsel, the Company's management feels that there are strong grounds to defend the Company's stance and the liability will not materialize, hence, no provision has been made in these financial statements.

 'A demand of USD 3.75 million (including default surcharge of USD 1.15 million) was raised against the Company under section 161/205 of the Ordinance for the period relevant to Tax Year 2012 alleging non-compliance with various applicable withholding provisions contained in the Ordinance. The management assailed the subject order on March 28, 2014 in usual appellate course and while first appellate authority decided certain issues in the Company's favor, major issues were remanded back to department for adjudication afresh. Such appellate order was further assailed by the Company before ATIR on May 20, 2014, at which forum, adjudication is pending. Meanwhile, the Department concluded the reassessment proceedings, primarily repeating the treatment earlier accorded, however, based on relief allowed by first appellate authority, demand now stands reduced to USD 3.38 million (including default surcharge of USD 1.09 million). Such reassessment order was assailed by the Company in second round of litigation and the first appellate authority, through its order dated June 29, 2015, has upheld the Departmental action. The management has contested this order before ATIR on August 20, 2015 for favorable outcome. The Company's management feels that there are strong grounds to defend the Company's stance and the liability will not materialize, hence, no provision has been made in these financial statements.

 'In computer balloting for total audit u/s 177 of the ITO, 2001, the Company was selected for total audit proceedings for the tax year 2014 and the same has been completed with the issuance of order under section 122(4) of Income Tax Ordinance, 2001 creating a demand of USD 173,562 and curtailment of losses by USD 20.83 million. The said demand was curtailed to USD 20,359 through a revised demand order on account of rectification application filed by the Company. Against the said impugned order, appeal has been filed before CIR(A) on January 24, 2018 by legal counsel of the Company. Based on the advice of the legal counsel, the Company's management feels that there are strong grounds to defend the Company's stance and the liability will not materialize, hence, no provision has been made in these financial statements.

 The Commissioner Inland Revenue("CIR") has raised demand against the Company for super tax for the tax year 2018 amounting to USD 0.16 million. The chargeability has been challenged by the Company through writ petition in LHC filed on May 16, 2019. Based on the advice of the legal counsel, the Company's management feels that there are strong grounds to defend the Company's stance and the liability will not materialize, hence, no provision has been made in these financial statements.

 A sales tax demand of USD 0.736 million was raised against the Group for recovery of an allegedly inadmissible claim of sales tax refund in Tax Year 2006 filed and sanctioned under section 66 of the Sales Tax Act, 1990. The Group's appeal against such order was allowed to the extent of additional tax and penalties; however, principal amount was held against the Group by the then relevant Customs, Excise and Sales Tax Appellate Tribunal (CESTAT). The Group further assailed the issue on November 10, 2009 before Lahore High Court (LHC) where the litigation is presently pending. While, recovery to the extent of 20% of principal demand of sales tax has been made by the tax authorities, an interim injunction by honourable Court debars the Department for enforcing any further recovery. Since the management considers the refund to be legally admissible to the Group, no liability on this account has been recognized in these financial statements and the amount already recovered has been recorded as being receivable from the tax authorities. It is pertinent to highlight here that adverse judgment earlier passed by CESTAT no longer holds the field as through certain subsequent judgments, controversy has been decided by ATIR (forum now holding appellate jurisdiction under the law) in favor of other taxpayers operating in the Telecom Sector. The Honourable LHC has set aside the judgment of the Tribunal on May 24, 2017 and has remanded the case for decision afresh. The Tribunal is yet to issue notice for the hearing. The Group's management feels that there are strong grounds to defend the Group's stance and the liability will not materialize, hence, no provision has been made in these financial statements.

 'On September 30, 2016, Punjab Revenue Authority (PRA) issued show cause notice allegedly demanding USD 1.49 million for the periods from May 2013 to December 2013. The Company challenged imposition of sales tax on LDI services on the first appellate authority in 2016 and relief granted by CIR(A) through set aside the demand created by PRA with direction of reassessment proceedings. The Company challenged these proceedings through filing a writ petition in LHC heard on February 9, 2017 on the grounds that it was unconstitutional and in violation of fundamental principles of sales tax and international commitments of Government of Pakistan. The writ petition has been allowed with instructions passed by honorable Judge of Lahore High Court Lahore to PRA restraining from passing final order in pursuance of proceedings. The matter has been taken up by other LDI operators against PRA in June 2015 before LHC on the grounds that imposition of sales tax is unconstitutional and in violation of fundamental principles of sales tax and international commitments of Government of Pakistan. The period pertains to ICH time when amount of sales tax was withheld by PTCL. Based on the advice of the Company's tax advisor, the management is of the view that the Company's case is based on meritorious grounds and hence, relief would be secured from the Court. In view of the above, provision for sales tax on LDI services aggregating USD 4.27 million (2022: USD 3.90 million) has not been made in these financial statements.

 Other matters

 One of the Group's supplier has filed the suit for recovery on July 12, 2018 before the Civil Court, Lahore, Pakistan of certain moneys alleged to have not been paid by the Group under its agreements with the supplier. The principal claim is USD 0.06 million however the claim is inflated to USD 0.81 million on frivolous basis. The Group denies the claim and is hopeful for positive outcome. The management is of the view that it is unlikely that any claim of said supplier will materialize.

 One of the Group's supplier has filed petition on November 21, 2014 before LHC. The supplier has claim of USD 0.77 million receivable from the Group. Further details of the litigations have not been disclosed as it may prejudice the Group's position. The Group has denied the veracity of such claims and has also challenged the maintainability of the proceedings. Also, the Group has filed a counter petition during the year 2015 claiming USD 1.12 million under the same contract against which the supplier has claimed its dues. The Group had to deposit an amount of USD 0.07 million in the Court in respect of this case. The honourable High Court has already required both Companies to resolve disputes in terms of their Agreement. The matter stands adjourned sine die. Based on the advice of the Group's legal counsel, the management is of the view that it is unlikely that any adverse order will be passed against the Group.

 One of Group's supplier and its allied international identities (referred to as suppliers) filed winding up petition dated October 16, 2017 before LHC and claim of USD 0.24 million and USD 4.869 million which was dismissed on September 26, 2018. The suppliers have also filed civil suit before Islamabad Civil Court dated September 17, 2018 for recovery of USD 12.35 million and Rs. 68.08 million along with damages of USD 20 million. The learned civil judge accepted the application under Order VII Rule 10 CPC and returned the plaint. The suppliers have now filed an appeal before the Honourable Islamabad High Court, Islamabad against the order passed on July 10, 2019 by the learned civil judge, Islamabad. The Company has already filed suit for recovery of USD 93.3 million against this suppliers for default in performance of agreements before Civil Court, Lahore in August 2017.

 The Group has also filed another suit before Civil Court, Lahore for recovery of Rs. 1.5 billion for causing damage to the Company for filing frivolous winding up petition. Based on the legal advice, the management is of the view that it is unlikely that any claim of said suppliers will materialize.

 The Group acquired Indefeasible Right to Use ("IRU") of media and related Operations and Maintenance Services ("O&M") from one of the Company's suppliers through an agreement entered in August 2011. An agreement between the parties was reached in April 2015 for the payment against O&M services whereby it was decided that monthly payments in respect of O&M will be made by the Company and other deliverables under IRU agreement shall be mutually agreed by June 30, 2016. However, the supplier illegally and violating the terms for the Agreement, disconnected its services to the Company and filed a Civil Suit before the Sindh High Court in October 2016 for recovery of dues amounting to USD 7.03 million equivalent to Rs. 1.09 billion along with mark up @ 15 % amounting to USD 1.58 million equivalent to USD 0.87 million, allegedly due under the stated agreement. The subject suit is pending adjudication.

 'The management believes that supplier's claim is invalid since it relates to the un-utilized future period and for the media which has never been provisioned as required under the Agreement and the supplier is/was under contractual obligation to provide (media) to the Company. That, a net sum of USD 2.977 million is due and payable by Supplier to the Company, in respect of reimbursement and refund obligation under and pursuant to the IRU Contract. The net sum is calculated on the basis of actual utilization of the capacity calculated on pro rata basis hence the Company was/is entitled to and Supplier was/is liable to refund USD 2.977 million within 90 days of the termination of the IRU instead of claiming USD 7.03 million. The subject media / services have never been provisioned therefore the Supplier is not entitled to claim any amount for media or services. As the Company holds an indefeasible right to use the supplier's media for the contract duration of 15 years, early and unilateral termination of services by supplier, amounts to a breach.

 Under these circumstances, the Group under the express contractual rights have claimed the amounts pertaining to (i) media which has yet not been delivered, and (ii) un-utilized future period on a prorata basis, as required under the terms and conditions of the Agreement. Moreover, the Supplier is also liable to make payments to the Group on account of different services received from the Group. The Group has filed an application before SHC in January 2017 under section 34 of the Arbitration Act, 1940 to refer the matter to Arbitrator as per the dispute resolution mechanism provided in the agreement dated 2011.

 During 2019, the supplier has signed an MoU with the Group undertaking to withdraw all legal cases which has completed in August 2022 and both parties have withdrawn their respective cases.

 A total of cases 30 are filed against the Group involving Regulatory, Employees, Landlords and Subscribers having aggregate claim of all cases amounting to USD 0.40 million (2022: USD 0.49 million. Because of number of cases and their uncertain nature, it is not possible to quantify their financial impact. Management and legal advisors of the Group are of the view that the outcome of these cases is expected to be favourable and liability, if any, arising out on the settlement is not likely to be material.

 Contingency relating to the Plan and Agreement of Reorganization

 As per ASC 450, the Company has determined that it is not possible to reasonably estimate the right of WHI shareholders to return the shares issued in the Plan and Agreement of Reorganization outlined in note 1 of these consolidated financial statements. However, the Company has received a CUSIP number and is currently in the process of applying for a trading symbol with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"). Management is confident that trading on OTC markets will be possible once a trading symbol is obtained.

 Introduction

 The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. All revenue is recognized as our performance obligations are satisfied. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to a customer and is the unit of account under ASC 606.

 Most of our current contracts with customers contain a single performance obligation. For contracts where we provide multiple services, such as where we perform multiple ancillary services, each service represents its own performance obligation. The standalone selling prices are based on the contractual price for the service. Our contracts generally include standard commercial payment terms. We have no significant obligations for refunds, warranties or similar obligations and our revenue includes sales taxes collected from our customers.

 Disaggregation of Revenue from Contracts with Customers

 We derive revenue from six primary sources: (1) International Termination Services, (2) Indefeasible Right of Use (IRU), (3) Cable TV and Internet Services, (4) Metro Fiber Solutions, (5) Capacity Sale Services and (6) Advertisement Services.

 The following table represents a disaggregation of revenue for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022:

 25. GOING CONCERN OF WTL

 The Company's subsidiary "WTL" incurred a loss of $ 7.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2023 (2022: $ 7.16 million). As of December 31, 2023, the accumulated loss of WTL stands at $ 62.05 million (December 31, 2022: $ 69.48 million) and its current liabilities exceed its current assets by $ 25.92 million (December 31, 2022: $ 23.55 million). These conditions, along with other factors like declining revenue and contingencies and commitments (as disclosed in preceding note 17), indicate the existence of material uncertainties that cast significant doubt about the WTL's ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, it may be unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

 Net Liabilities Position - Risk Mitigation

 As mentioned above, there is a net current liability position of approximately $ 25.92 million as on 31 December 2023 (December 2022: $ 35.39 million), which has the following major components (amounts are in US$ million):

 The management believes that certain balances included in the above amounts do not represent immediately payable liabilities as detailed below:

 Short term borrowings: The Company is in negotiation with banks for the rollover of these facilities.

 Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA): Liabilities towards PTA as incorporated in these financial statements stand at approximately $ 8.32 million as on December 31, 2023 (December 31, 2022: $ 10.34) which are not immediately payable owing to the non-fulfillment of certain conditions relating to the demand of such amounts. These conditions relate to the industry circumstances and Court Orders.

 Claims of parties challenged: This amount represents the amounts owed to certain parties whose claims have been challenged by the Company in various judicial forums for the breach and non-performance of their contractual obligations. Based on the merits of the Company's position, the management believes that such amounts may not be immediately payable under the circumstances.

 Regulatory revolving challenged: The amount represents routine trade credits extended by regular parties and these balances are of revolving nature. Thus, no immediate net cash outlay would be required.

 Contract liabilities: Contract liabilities represent advances received from customers and this will be adjusted against future services. Based on this no cash outflow will occur.

 Provision for taxation: The Company does not anticipate cash outlays on account of Provision for Taxation since it has sufficiently brought forward losses.

 The accumulated loss arises due to the recording of huge impairment of assets in prior years. In order to overcome the situation of going concern management has a workable business plan, which will create turn around in the Company. Our current inventory of networking equipment and fiber optic lines is sufficient to convert 30% of our existing HFC customers to FTTH. Additionally, our Fiber Optic Network footprint covers areas where we can easily deploy FTTH and Fiber to commercial customers. This conversion results in lower operating costs as we reduce our power consumption costs which are associated with an HFC plant. Furthermore, each conversion results in increased revenue, without additional expenses. Broadband deployment is a capital-intensive business, however, once the deployment is completed, broadband customers stay with the broadband offerings giving long-term assured revenues to the company.

 As stated above, we are deploying existing equipment, thus reducing capital outlays to a minimal, additionally, our current employees and technicians are deployed to increase conversions, thus without incurring additional labor or equipment costs. PTA payables are not justified and as such courts in Pakistan have consistently stayed. The government of Pakistan in order to meet Broadband goals has to reduce or invalidate most if not all of these charges if it wants to meet its deployment targets. Furthermore, due to the devaluation Pakistan Rupee against the United States Dollar, these liabilities are decreasing in dollar terms. Management is of the opinion that some of our creditors will convert debt to equity in the Company thus lowering our liabilities. We may have to raise equity by issuing shares in order to pay down the liabilities and for extending our network.

Based upon this review, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.
