OVERVIEW
Spectral Capital Corporation (“Spectral” or the Company, also “We or Us”) is an exploration stage technology company focused on the identification, acquisition, development, financing of technology that has the potential to transform existing industries. We look for technology that can be protected through patents or laws regarding trade secrets. Spectral has acquired significant stakes in two technology companies currently and actively works with management to drive these companies toward increasing market penetration in their particular verticals. Spectral intends to own, in full or in part, technology companies whose founders and key management can take advantage of the deep networks and experience in technology development embodied in Spectral management.

CORPORATE HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 13, 2000 as Galaxy Championship Wrestling, Inc., a media and entertainment company focused on developing, producing and marketing live entertainment in the professional wrestling sphere.
On March 31, 2004, unable to generate sufficient revenues to sustain our professional wrestling business, we ceased operations in this field and began exploring other business opportunities.
Also on March 31, 2004 our controlling shareholders entered into a certain private stock purchase agreement, wherein they sold an aggregate of 5,750,000 of our common shares, representing a sixty-two and seventeen twentieths percent (62.85%) controlling interest, to an unrelated third party.
By certificate of amendment filed June 17, 2004, we changed our name from Galaxy Championship Wrestling, Inc. to FUSA Capital Corporation.
During the period from March 31, 2004 until March 7, 2005 we had no meaningful operations and did not carry on any active business, focusing instead on identifying and evaluating the merits of alternative potential business and acquisition opportunities which might allow us to restart operations.
On March 7, 2005 we entered into a certain plan and agreement of reorganization with FUSA Technology Investments Corp. ("FTIC"), a Nevada corporation engaged in the emerging growth field of audio and video search engine technology, whereby we acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of FTIC in addition to obtaining certain intellectual property concepts related to search engine technology as developed by FTIC and its principals. In March of 2005 we also entered into a 3 for one stock dividend payable to our shareholders.
From April, 2005 until September 2010, we were engaged continuously in the development and operation of consumer focused media search engine technologies and portals. During the last six months of 2009, we began to substantially curtail our operations and ongoing technology development as a consequence of (i) having completed a substantial portion of our planned principal technology development work and (ii) being unable to raise sufficient funds through revenue or sales of debt or equity securities to continue our previous levels of operation and development. We ceased operating our Internet properties in December 2010.
We had consistently lost money on our on-line consumer media properties due to the expenses involved in hosting, promotion, development and management of those sites. In an effort to maintain as much traffic as possible on our most popular media site, www.searchforvideo.com, which is also responsible for a large proportion of our expenses, we contracted with Brass Consulting Ltd. to maintain the site in exchange for net revenue produced from the site. This agreement was cancellable after 30 days notice. We cancelled this agreement in September 2009. We were not able to operate the site properly internally or through an external provider.
2
On June 29, 2009, our Board of Directors resolved to amend the Articles of Incorporation pursuant to Nevada Revised Statues 78.207 to decrease the number of authorized shares of our common stock, par value $.0001, from 500,000,000 to 333,333 shares. Correspondingly, our Board of Directors affirmed a reverse split of one thousand and five hundred (1,500) to one (1) in which each shareholder was issued one (1) share in exchange for every one thousand and five hundred (1,500) common shares of their currently issued common stock. The record date for the reverse split was July 6, 2009.
On July 27, 2010, our shareholders voted to change our name to Spectral Capital Corporation and to increase number of shares of our authorized common stock from 333,333, par value $0.0001 to 500,000,000, par value $0.0001.
On August 18, 2010, we entered into a financing with a third party, Trafalgar Wealth Management. Under the terms of the financing, for aggregate consideration of $50,000 or $0.001 per common share, we sold 50,000,000 common shares and issued warrants to purchase 10,000,000 common shares at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. Under the terms of the agreements as amended in 2011, subject to certain terms and conditions, Trafalgar is obligated to exercise at least $1,000,000 worth of these warrants over the next 24 months or Spectral will receive back 5,000,000 of the shares.
Pursuant to a notice of conversion by holders of our April 2009 promissory notes, we converted the outstanding of interest and principal under the notes, which was in excess of $50,000, for a settled amount of $50,000. Under the terms of the April 2009 note, we are required to convert these shares at the current financing price of $0.001 per share. Therefore, on August 18, 2010 we issued 50,000,000 shares to various holders of the April 2009 promissory notes, which represents 49.9% of our current issued and outstanding shares.
In September 2010, the Company purchased an interest in mineral properties in the Chita region of the Russian Federation. The Kadara and Kaltagay license is located in the Mogochinsky district of the Chita Region in the Russian Federation. Initially, we purchased 47% of the License for prospecting, exploration and production of gold and all other metals. The length of the License runs to August 31, 2031. The size of the License is 186 square kilometers or 18,200 hectares. Development and exploration activities are currently being undertaken. In December, 2010, we purchased an additional interest of 5% in this property, bringing our total interest in the property to 52%.
In January, 2011, we purchased a 65% interest in mineral properties in the Bayankol River region of Kazakhstan (“Bayankol”).
In July, 2011, we conveyed our interest in our Chita property back to our counterparty in exchange for cancellation of warrants to purchase Spectral common stock issued in the transaction and our right to be reimbursed for incurred costs to date. We have not yet sought any reimbursement under this agreement.
3
In September, 2011, we developed a partnership in Saratov, Russia to acquire and develop oil leases in the region.
In December, 2011, we restructured our interest in our Bayankol property The agreement rescinded the original transaction of January 14, 2011 and the previously issued warrants were cancelled. Spectral agreed to issue 1,000,000 common shares of Spectral stock in exchange for an option to purchase 65% of the property. Spectral will also have an obligation to find third party debt financing of $200,000,000 over five years to maintain its interest in the Bayankol property.
In February, 2012, we acquired a 60% interest in a Canadian oil and gas field in the Red Earth region of Alberta for a cash payment of $750,000, which we paid. Under the agreement, we also have the right to fund additional drilling on the property up to $17,500,000 on a secured creditor basis. The property is currently in production and producing oil. There are eight permitted drilling locations on the property.
In December, 2012, the Company entered into an agreement with Akoranga AG, a Company owned by the CEO of Spectral, to transfer its ownership interests in the Alberta oil and gas properties for $950,000, the value of Spectral’s contributions to the project to date. In satisfaction of the purchase price, Akoranga agreed to offset liabilities of Spectral in the amount of $626,022. The balance owing of $323,978 is non-interest bearing and is to be repaid within a one year period.
Our principal executive offices are located at 701 Fifth Avenue, Suite 4200, Seattle, Washington 98104. Our phone number is (206) 262-7820. The Company’s year end is December 31.

PRINCIPAL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
Spectral is focused on the identification, acquisition, development, financing of technology that has the potential to transform existing industries. We look for technology that can be protected through patents or laws regarding trade secrets. Spectral has acquired significant stakes in two technology companies currently and actively works with management to drive these companies toward increasing market penetration in their particular verticals. Spectral intends to own, in full or in part, technology companies whose founders and key management can take advantage of the deep networks and experience in technology development embodied in Spectral management.
Companies within the technology development and commercialization sector have a variety of areas of principal competence. Some companies focus on aggressively developing a portfolio of intellectual property and then licensing that property and defending it through litigation. Others focus on a technology embodied in a software product or device which has the potential to be acquired by businesses and/or consumers at a profit. Others seek to develop and commercialize technology that attracts a significant number of users who can be monetized through advertising. Of course, technology development and commercialization is a vast and complex field. Spectral has had an initial focus on information technology with a direct value proposition to businesses or consumers.
Like all companies that seek to develop a portfolio of high impact technologies and the corporate and organizational structure to monetize those technologies, Spectral must do the specialized work of lowering the risk profile of the commercialization of a particular technology to the point where it is able to grow at a reasonable customer acquisition cost.
We have a deep management expertise, developed knowledge within the search, media and analytics fields, attractive positioning, the ability to identify and close transactions quickly and a willingness to invest in technology that is mispriced relative to its economic potential. Although the 2008 financial crisis has abated and technology companies generally are enjoying some robust growth, it still remains a challenge for early stage technology companies to find the financial and human resources to foster required growth. This challenge creates an environment where Spectral can seek out and find high impact technology and invest in or acquire this technology at reasonable valuations.
Our business differs from those companies whose capital reserves, successful previous ability to monetize technology and scale, efficiencies and existing customer base allow them to select and develop technology by flooding the technology with financial and human resources. Spectral’s approach is much more targeted. We only develop technology that we believe has a very specific fit with our expertise and limited capital. We develop technology that does not require massive investments in sale and marketing in order to reach an initial audience.
We currently have two technology companies in the Spectral portfolio, Noot and Kontexto.
Noot is is a mobile technology company that is in advanced stages of creating a proprietary search engine, named 'noot', for people with mobile smartphones. noot will help people easily find news, social media, photos and video that match their interests. The technology actually learns what users like and improves its results over time, providing very personalized information for the user. A key benefit of Noot will be that the search engine continues to work even when the user is not actively searching and will discover new and relevant items without prompting, providing more enhanced and personalized information the next time the user searches for that topic.
5
Kontexto founded in 2009, is a technology company that has developed software and services that acquire, analyze and visualize streaming real time data for companies and institutions. Kontexto has developed two products based on their proprietary analysis platform: publishflow(TM) and monitr(TM) along with providing customers the option for customized services solutions. UK Trade and Investment, the largest government and business trade organization in the United Kingdom awarded them 'technology of exceptional potential'. Kontexo's customers include some of the biggest names in publishing, Post Media Network, The Guardian, Getty Images, Abu Dhabi Media, Bell Media and The Daily Mail.
Competition
We compete with a wide variety of parties in connection with our efforts to: (i) attract users to our various Analytics, Search & Software portfolio companies and the ones we intend to develop; (ii) develop, market and distribute our current and anticipated B2C (“Business to Consumer”) and B2B (“Business to Business”) software applications (“Applications or Apps”) as developed by our portfolio companies; (iii) attract third parties to distribute our Applications and related technology; and (iv) attract advertisers. In the case of our anticipated search services generally, our competitors include Google, Yahoo!, Bing and other destination search websites and search‑centric portals (some of which provide a broad range of content and services and/or link to various desktop applications), third party toolbar, convenience search and applications providers, other search technology and convenience service providers (including internet access providers, social media platforms, online advertising networks, traditional media companies and companies that provide online content). When we market our portfolio search and analytics services, we compete against a variety of established players and new entrants.
Moreover, some of our current and potential competitors have longer operating histories, greater brand recognition, larger customer bases and/or significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do. As a result, they have the ability to devote comparatively greater resources to the development and promotion of their products and services, which could result in greater market acceptance of their products and services relative to those offered by us.
In the case of our portfolio companies Noot and Kontexto, we believe that our ability to compete successfully will depend primarily upon the relevance and authority of our search results, the usefulness of our analytics and other content, the functionality of our various Websites and software and the quality of related content and features and the attractiveness of the services provided by our technology generally to consumers and business relative to those of our competitors.
6
Marketing and Customers
Currently, we have in person sales efforts that have been effective for Kontexto, as the number of media enterprises with an interest in Kontexto can be segmented to insure a very large target of potential customers with the economics to support in person sales. As Kontexto develops, we expect to get more and more of our sales through customers that subscribe for our services directly by contacting us and we expect that this process can be automated in the future to become less reliant on our sales and business development staff as Kontexto expands its market penetration beyond the largest media clients.
Kontexto is not dependent on any one customer and has a variety of exceptional, global and regional media enterprises as its clients.
Noot anticipates competing in the rapidly evolving area of mobile search. We anticipate having millions of individual consumer users of Noot and not being dependent on one channel or customer, through we will be dependent on the App Store from Apple and the Android Marketplace for a significant number of our mobile search application downloads.
Principal Agreements Affecting Our Ordinary Business
We do not have any current long term agreements that impact our business, other than the license agreements for Kontexto customers.
Information Technology Governmental Regulation
Our operations are subject to various rules, regulations and limitations impacting the information technology industry as whole.
Environmental Matters
We do not anticipate any significant impact of environmental regulations on our business.
OPERATIONS
Spectral is focused on the identification, acquisition, development, financing of technology that has the potential to transform existing industries. We look for technology that can be protected through patents or laws regarding trade secrets. Spectral has acquired significant stakes in two technology companies currently and actively works with management to drive these companies toward increasing market penetration in their particular verticals. Spectral intends to own, in full or in part, technology companies whose founders and key management can take advantage of the deep networks and experience in technology development embodied in Spectral management.
The majority of our operations consist of (1) the development and commercialization of portfolio technology; including attendant information security needs and providing consistent and reliable access to our applications/technology.
7
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
We conducted development efforts regarding our previously held oil and gas properties. As we have divested of our operating oil assets, we do not anticipate any additional development expenses in existing the natural resource sector.
From February 9, 2005 (inception) through the year ended December 31, 2012 we incurred research and development expenses of $1,965,424, almost entirely from the development of our previous technology business. We believe that our research and development expenses will increase substantially in 2013. We expect to spend in excess of $5,000,000 in development expenses on our existing and to be acquired technology portfolio companies, assuming available financing. We have already begun these efforts and have already expended substantial amounts on these activities.
COMPETITION
Overview
Some of the largest and most technologically sophisticated and financially successful companies in the world compete in the search engine and software development space. Capital requirements in this space can easily run into the hundreds of millions of dollars and Spectral is in no way able to compete directly against its larger and more well-financed competitors with respect to technology brands which require hundreds of millions of dollars to be spent either on technology development or sales and marketing. Instead, we tend to compete against much smaller companies, with limited capital resources, who are all looking at early stage technology companies which require 1-4 years of development and $2-$5 million dollars in financing in order to reach critical mass in an important market.
Therefore, Spectral, like its smaller competitors within this space, can compete only by having a low enough overhead, a flexible enough risk profile, patience, a willingness to secure expensive management and technological resources on a flexible project basis and the utilization of equity based incentives to attract talented personnel who find the risk reward profile of emerging growth companies appealing.
Failure of Competitors
Many of our smaller competitors fail because of improperly architected technology, excessive spending on sales and marketing, information technology security problems, the failure to secure required development capital, the inability to efficiently develop a customer acquisition program cost effectively and the inability to efficiently and cost effectively manage technology development.
Our Competitive Position
Because we currently have already acquired interests two portfolio companies, our competitive position with respect to our existing projects is really relevant to our ability to attract and retain key management personnel. The technology sector is booming and successes like Google, Facebook and Twitter, as well as a proliferation of other mobile technologies, drive intense competition for executive talent in the industry. As a smaller competitor without a track record operating in a booming area, we will have to offer significant cash and equity incentives to attract talented personnel. As we have had some limited success to date in attracting officers and board members based on the strength of our portfolio companies to date, we believe that we are reasonably well positioned to compete for these human resources.
SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS AND SUPPLIERS
We are not particularly dependent on any one customer or supplier.
8
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Overview
Our intellectual property consists almost exclusively of patentable or trade secret protectable software code and proprietary information technology architecture.
We regard our intellectual property rights, including trademarks, domain names, trade secrets, patents, copyrights and other similar intellectual property, as critical to our success.
The businesses within our Noot Search segment also rely upon trade secrets, including algorithms for the generation, organization and presentation of search results. To a lesser extent, these businesses also rely upon p patent‑pending proprietary technologies and processes, primarily those relating to search‑related products and services, with expiration dates for patented technologies ranging from 2027 and beyond, if filed, and copyrighted material, including trade dress.
We rely on a combination of laws and contractual restrictions with employees, customers, suppliers, affiliates and others to establish and protect our various intellectual property rights.
For example, we intend to apply to register and renew, or secure by contract where appropriate, trademarks and service marks as they are developed and used, and reserve, register and renew domain names as we deem appropriate. Effective trademark protection may not be available or may not be sought in every country in which products and services are made available and contractual disputes may affect the use of marks governed by private contract. Similarly, not every variation of a domain name may be available or be registered, even if available.
We also generally intend to seek to apply for patents or for other similar statutory protections as and if we deem appropriate, based on then current facts and circumstances, and will continue to do so in the future. No assurances can be given that any patent application we will have filed will result in a patent being issued, or that any future patents will afford adequate protection.
We cannot be certain that the precautions we have taken to safeguard pending trademarks and trade secrets will provide meaningful protection from unauthorized use. If we must pursue litigation in the future to enforce or otherwise protect our intellectual property rights, or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others, we may not prevail and will likely have to make substantial expenditures and divert valuable resources in the process. Moreover, we may not have adequate remedies if our intellectual property is appropriated or our trade secrets are disclosed.
Trademarks
We are in the process of applying for registration of a trademark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office in order to establish and protect our brand names as part of our intellectual property assets. As of the date of this annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, our registration is in the preliminary stages of the application process.
9
Trade Secrets
Whenever we deem it important for purposes of maintaining the secrecy of information, such as sensitive and valuable search algorithms, we require parties with whom we share, or who otherwise are likely to become privy to, our trade secrets or other confidential information to execute and deliver to us confidentiality and/or non-disclosure agreements. Among others, this may include employees, consultants and other advisors, each of whom may require us to execute such an agreement upon commencement of their employment, consulting or advisory relationships. These agreements generally provide that all confidential information developed or made known to the individual by us during the course of the individual’s relationship with us is to be kept confidential and not to be disclosed to third parties except under specific circumstances.
As of the date of this annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, we have executed non-disclosure agreements with all of our key employees, consultants or advisors.
EMPLOYEES
For the year ended December 31, 2012, we had three full-time employees and ten full-time or part-time consultants. We intend to significantly expand our staff over the next year and have begun an aggressive campaign to recruit senior, experienced technology professionals to our management team. We hope to add 1-3 senior executives over the next 12 months.
We are not subject to any collective bargaining agreements and believe that our relationships with our employees and consultants are good.
Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information included in this annual report, the following factors should be carefully considered in evaluating our business, financial position and future prospects. Any of the following risks, either alone or taken together, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial position or future prospects. If one or more of these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, our actual results may vary materially from what we have projected.
We have incurred losses since inception and anticipate that, we will continue to incur losses throughout the foreseeable future.
We have operated continuously at a loss since inception. We expect to experience continuing financial losses until our properties have been in production for some time. Losses for the year ended December 31, 2012, and losses since inception were approximately $2,798,402 and $11,922,725, respectively. Most of these losses were as a result of investments in our previous technology businesses and as a result of expenses due to stock-based compensation, but a substantial portion also come from expenses related to the identification, negotiation and due diligence on our previous natural resource projects. The extent to which we continue to experience losses will depend on a number of factors, including:
|
●
|
The timeframe and costs involved in bringing our existing portfolio technology into commercialization;
|
|
●
|
Expenses related to due diligence on new portfolio companies and investments in new portfolio companies;
|
|
●
|
Expenses related to consumer adoption of the Noot Mobile Search Engine;
|
|
●
|
our ability to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel, if we have the resources to hire such individuals; and
|
|
●
|
our cost of capital.
|
Although we can see a scenario in which we can derive positive cash flow from our portfolio companies in 2012, our anticipated high growth makes this unlikely. There can be no assurance that we will not continue to be cash flow negative. In addition, it is possible that we may never obtain or sustain positive operating cash flow or generate net income.
10
Although we have sufficient cash to maintain our current operations, we do not have sufficient financing yet to efficiently develop our technology to its fullest potential
Although we have enough cash to meet our current operating requirements for 12 months, we do not have enough cash to fund the acquisition of new technologies or the full development of existing technologies. We are currently seeking such financing but there can be no assurance that we will obtain such financing.
We are dependent on our ability to attract and retain key personnel
We must attract and retain qualified personnel, at the senior management, information technology and programmer level. The information technology industry is experiencing a sustained period of growth and it is exceptionally difficult to attract and retain such personnel. Without a history of successful operations and our lack of substantial current capital resources, we may have difficulty attracting the necessary, qualified personnel. Failure to attract and retain such personnel could cause us to sub-optimally develop our projects and would have a material, negative impact on our operational and financial performance.
Risks Related The Information Technology Industry
Our success depends, in part, on the integrity of our systems and infrastructures and those of third parties. System interruptions and the lack of integration and redundancy in our and third party information systems may affect our business.
To succeed, our systems and infrastructures must perform well on a consistent basis. From time to time, we may experience occasional system interruptions that make some or all of our systems or data unavailable or that prevent us from providing products and services, which could adversely affect our business. Moreover, as traffic to our websites, applications and online properties increases and the number of new (and presumably more complex) products and services that we introduce continues to grow, we will need to upgrade our systems, infrastructures and technologies generally to facilitate this growth. If we do not do so, users, customers and third parties with whom we do business may not be able to access our products and services on an intermittent or prolonged basis, which could adversely affect the quality of their experiences. In addition, we could experience inefficiencies and/or operational failures in connection with these efforts, which could have the same effect. Moreover, even if we do not encounter any inefficiencies and/or operational failures in connection with these efforts, third parties with whom we do business may not make the changes to their systems, infrastructures and technologies needed to access our products and services on a timely basis, if at all.
The occurrence of any of these events could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We also rely on third party computer systems, data centers, broadband and other communications systems and service providers in connection with the provision of our products and services generally, as well as to facilitate and process certain transactions with our users and customers.
Any interruptions, outages or delays in our systems or those of our third party providers, or deterioration in the performance of these systems, could impair our ability to provide our products and services and/or process certain transactions with users and customers. Furthermore, data security breaches (as a result of actions taken by hackers or otherwise), fire, power loss, telecommunications failure, natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism, acts of God and other similar events or disruptions may damage or interrupt computer, data, broadband or other communications systems at any time. Any event of this nature could cause system interruptions, delays and loss of critical data, and could prevent us from providing services to users and customers. While we have backup systems for certain aspects of our operations, our systems are not fully redundant and disaster recovery planning is not sufficient for all eventualities. In addition, we may not have adequate insurance coverage to compensate for losses from a major interruption.
In particular, our destination search websites may be adversely affected by fraudulent, surreptitious or other unwanted computer programs, applications and activity that make changes to users' computers and interfere with the overall experience of our products and services, such as by hijacking queries to these websites or altering or replacing search results generated. This type of interference often occurs without disclosure to (or consent from) users, resulting in a negative experience that users may associate with us. These disruptive programs and applications may be difficult or impossible to uninstall or disable, may reinstall themselves and may circumvent efforts to block or remove them.
In addition, downloadable applications through which we provide search services are also subject to attack by viruses, worms and other malicious software programs, which could jeopardize the security of information stored in users' computers or in our systems and networks. No assurances can be given that our efforts to combat these malicious applications will be successful and/or that our products and services will not have (or will not be perceived to have) vulnerabilities in this regard.
11
We may be unable to obtain additional capital that we will require to implement our business plan, which could restrict our ability to grow.
We expect that our cash will be sufficient to fund our minimal capital requirements through 2012. However, those funds will not be sufficient to fund both our continuing operations and our planned growth. We will require additional capital to continue to grow our business via acquisitions and to further expand our existing portfolio companies. We may be unable to obtain additional capital if and when required.
We may pursue sources of additional capital through various financing transactions or arrangements, including joint venturing of projects, debt financing, equity financing or other means. We may not be successful in identifying suitable financing transactions in the time period required or at all, and we may not obtain the capital we require by other means. If we do not succeed in raising additional capital, our resources may not be sufficient to fund our planned expansion of operations in the future.
Any additional capital raised through the sale of equity may dilute the ownership percentage of our shareholders. Raising any such capital could also result in a decrease in the fair market value of our equity securities because our assets would be owned by a larger pool of outstanding equity. The terms of securities we issue in future capital transactions may be more favorable to our new investors, and may include preferences, superior voting rights and the issuance of other derivative securities. In addition, we have granted and will continue to grant equity incentive awards under our equity incentive plans, which may have a further dilutive effect.
We may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, securities law compliance fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs. We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we may issue, which may adversely impact our financial condition.
Unless an active trading market develops for our securities, you may not be able to sell your shares.
Although, we are a reporting company and our common shares are listed on the OTC Bulletin Board (owned and operated by the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc.) under they symbol “FCCN”, there is currently a volatile and thinly traded market for our common stock, which may not be maintained. Failure to develop maintain adequate trading volumes and price stability in the stock will have a generally negative affect on the price of our common stock, and you may be unable to sell your common stock or any attempted sale of such common stock may have the affect of lowering the market price and therefore your investment could be a partial or complete loss.
Since our common stock is thinly traded it is more susceptible to extreme rises or declines in price, and you may not be able to sell your shares at or above the price paid.
Since our common stock is thinly traded its trading price is likely to be highly volatile and could be subject to extreme fluctuations in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including:
12
|
·
|
the trading volume of our shares;
|
|
·
|
the number of securities analysts, market-makers and brokers following our common stock;
|
|
·
|
changes in, or failure to achieve, financial estimates by securities analysts;
|
|
·
|
new products introduced or announced by us or our competitors;
|
|
·
|
announcements of technological innovations by us or our competitors;
|
|
·
|
actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results;
|
|
·
|
conditions or trends in our business industries;
|
|
·
|
announcements by us of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;
|
|
·
|
additions or departures of key personnel;
|
|
·
|
sales of our common stock; and
|
|
·
|
general stock market price and volume fluctuations of publicly-traded, and particularly microcap, companies.
|
13
You may have difficulty reselling shares of our common stock, either at or above the price you paid, or even at fair market value. The stock markets often experience significant price and volume changes that are not related to the operating performance of individual companies, and because our common stock is thinly traded it is particularly susceptible to such changes. These broad market changes may cause the market price of our common stock to decline regardless of how well we perform as a company. In addition, securities class action litigation has often been initiated following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities. A securities class action suit against us could result in substantial legal fees, potential liabilities and the diversion of management’s attention and resources from our business. Moreover, and as noted below, our shares are currently traded on the OTC Bulletin Board and, further, are subject to the penny stock regulations. Price fluctuations in such shares are particularly volatile and subject to manipulation by market-makers, short-sellers and option traders.
Trading in our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board may be limited thereby making it more difficult for you to resell any shares you may own.
Our common stock trades on the OTC Bulletin Board (owned and operated by the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc.). The OTC Bulletin Board is not an exchange and, because trading of securities on the OTC Bulletin Board is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on a national exchange or on the Nasdaq National Market, you may have difficulty reselling any of the shares of our common stock that you may own.
Our common stock is subject to the “penny stock” regulations, which are likely to make it more difficult to sell.
Our common stock is considered a “penny stock,” which generally is a stock trading under $5.00 and not registered on a national securities exchange or quoted on the Nasdaq National Market. The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. These rules generally have the result of reducing trading in such stocks, restricting the pool of potential investors for such stocks, and making it more difficult for investors to sell their shares once acquired. Prior to a transaction in a penny stock, a broker-dealer is required to:
|
·
|
deliver to a prospective investor a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market;
|
|
·
|
provide the prospective investor with current bid and ask quotations for the penny stock;
|
|
·
|
explain to the prospective investor the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction;
|
|
·
|
provide investors monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the their account; and
|
|
·
|
make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction.
|
14
These requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that is subject to the penny stock rules. Since our common stock is subject to the penny stock rules, investors in our common stock may find it more difficult to sell their shares.
We do not intend to pay any common stock dividends in the foreseeable future.
We have never declared or paid a dividend on our common stock and, because we have very limited resources and a substantial accumulated deficit, we do not anticipate declaring or paying any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Rather, we intend to retain earnings, if any, for the continued operation and expansion of our business. It is unlikely, therefore, that the holders of our common stock will have an opportunity to profit from anything other than potential appreciation in the value of our common shares held by them. If you require dividend income, you should not rely on an investment in our common stock.
Future issuances of our common stock may depress our stock price and dilute your interest.
We may issue additional shares of our common stock in future financings or grant stock options to our employees, officers, directors and consultants under our stock incentive plan. Any such issuances could have the affect of depressing the market price of our common stock and, in any case, would dilute the percentage ownership interests in our company by our shareholders. In addition, we could issue serial preferred stock having rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of our common stock, including the right to receive dividends and/or preferences upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up in excess of, or prior to, the rights of the holders of our common stock. This could depress the value of our common stock and could reduce or eliminate amounts that would otherwise have been available to pay dividends on our common stock (which are unlikely in any case) or to make distributions on liquidation.
ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY.
Our principal executive offices are located at 701 Fifth Avenue, Suite 4200, Seattle, Washington, 98104. Our telephone number is (206) 262-7820. The lease for this space is a month-to-month term. We also have contracted with a Swiss company for office space and operational support services outside of Zurich, Switzerland on a month-to-month basis.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
As of the date of this annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, there were no pending material legal proceedings to which we were a party and we are not aware that any were contemplated. There can be no assurance, however, that we will not be made a party to litigation in the future. Any finding of liability imposed against us is likely to have an adverse effect on our business, our financial condition, including liquidity and profitability, and our results of operations

DIVIDENDS
From our inception we have never declared or paid any cash dividends on shares of our common stock and we do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The decision to declare any future cash dividends will depend upon our results of operations, financial condition, current and anticipated cash needs, contractual restrictions, restrictions imposed by applicable law and other factors that our board of directors deem relevant. Although it is our intention to utilize all available funds for the development of our business, no restrictions are in place that would limit our ability to pay dividends. The payment of any future cash dividends will be at the sole discretion of our board of directors.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the related notes appearing elsewhere in this annual report. Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our critical accounting policies, including the assumptions and judgments underlying those policies, are more fully described in the notes to our consolidated financial statements. We have consistently applied these policies in all material respects. Investors are cautioned, however, that these policies are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially. Set forth below are the accounting policies that we believe most critical to an understanding of our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.
18
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidation financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary Extractive Resources Corporation. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Exploration Stage Company
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles related to accounting and reporting by exploration-stage companies. An exploration-stage company is one in which planned principal operations have not commenced, or if its operations have commenced, there has been no significant revenues there from.
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are presented in US dollars.
Accounting Basis
The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP” accounting). The Company has adopted a December 31 fiscal year end.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Spectral Capital’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, and due to related parties. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due to either length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these financial statements.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2012, the Company had $84,091 of unrestricted cash to be used for future business operations.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, the balances of which at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company continually monitors its banking relationships and consequently has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation in accordance with the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values.
19
The Company has adopted a stock option and award plan to attract, retain and motivate its directors, officers, employees, consultants and advisors. Options provide the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company and to benefit from its growth. Vesting terms and conditions are determined by the Board of Directors at the time of the grant. The Plan provides for the issuance of up to 15,000,000 common shares for employees, consultants, directors, and advisors.
On February 6, 2012, the Company granted 7,500,000 options to two employees. Stock-based compensation is being recognized over the two year vesting period. The options were valued at $3,408,750 using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions:

Employee stock-based compensation expense relating to options granted in 2010 and 2012, and recognized in 2012 and 2011 totalled $2,118,892 and $434,517, respectively. Unrecognized expense of $2,923,404 remains to be recognized through 2015.
The Company follows ASC Topic 505-50, formerly EITF 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods and Services,” for stock options and warrants issued to consultants and other non-employees. In accordance with ASC Topic 505-50, these stock options and warrants issued as compensation for services provided to the Company are accounted for based upon the fair value of the services provided or the estimated fair market value of the option or warrant, whichever can be more clearly determined. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense or prepaid expense and additional paid-in capital over the period during which services are rendered. There were 2,500,000 options valued at $1,136,250 issued to an advisor on February 6, 2012. Based on the vesting term, $520,781 was charged to consulting expense and $615,469 was recorded as prepaid consulting. There were 750,000 options issued in 2011 to settle a dispute with an advisor. These options were valued at $400,425 using the Black-Scholes pricing model.
A summary of changes in stock options during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 is as follows:

Because the Company’s stock-based compensation options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the estimate, amounts estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model may differ materially from the actual fair value of the Company’s stock-based compensation options.
Income Taxes
As of December 31, 2012, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $11,923,000 that may be available to reduce future years’ taxable income through 2032. Future tax benefits which may arise as a result of these losses have not been recognized in these financial statements, as their realization is determined not likely to occur and accordingly, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset relating to these tax loss carry-forwards.
The provision for Federal income tax consists of the following:

Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carry forwards for federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur net operating loss carry forwards may be limited as to use in future years.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company is in the exploration stage and has yet to realize revenues from operations. Once the Company has commenced operations, it will recognize revenues when delivery of goods or completion of services has occurred provided there is persuasive evidence of an agreement, acceptance has been approved by its customers, the fee is fixed or determinable based on the completion of stated terms and conditions, and collection of any related receivable is probable.
Basic Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. Common share equivalents totalling 13,750,000 and 14,600,000 were outstanding at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, representing outstanding warrants and options, and were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the periods ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
Dividends
The Company has not adopted any policy regarding payment of dividends. No dividends have been paid during the periods shown.
22
Mineral Properties
Costs of exploration, carrying and retaining unproven mineral lease properties are expensed as incurred. Mineral property acquisition costs are capitalized including licenses and lease payments. Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, these procedures do not guarantee the Company's title. Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.
Impairment losses are recorded on mineral properties used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amount.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed on the straight line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are three years for the assets currently owned by the Company
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Spectral Capital does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Reclassifications
Certain accounts and financial statement captions in the prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period financial statements.

PLAN OF OPERATIONS
Spectral is focused on the identification, acquisition, development, financing of technology that has the potential to transform existing industries. We look for technology that can be protected through patents or laws regarding trade secrets. Spectral has acquired significant stakes in two technology companies currently and actively works with management to drive these companies toward increasing market penetration in their particular verticals. Spectral intends to own, in full or in part, technology companies whose founders and key management can take advantage of the deep networks and experience in technology development embodied in Spectral management.
Companies within the technology development and commercialization sector have a variety of areas of principal competence. Some companies focus on aggressively developing a portfolio of intellectual property and then licensing that property and defending it through litigation. Others focus on a technology embodied in a software product or device which has the potential to be acquired by businesses and/or consumers at a profit. Others seek to develop and commercialize technology that attracts a significant number of users who can be monetized through advertising. Of course, technology development and commercialization is a vast and complex field. Spectral has had an initial focus on information technology with a direct value proposition to businesses or consumers.
23
Like all companies that seek to develop a portfolio of high impact technologies and the corporate and organizational structure to monetize those technologies, Spectral must do the specialized work of lowering the risk profile of the commercialization of a particular technology to the point where it is able to grow at a reasonable customer acquisition cost.
We have a deep management expertise, developed knowledge within the search, media and analytics fields, attractive positioning, the ability to identify and close transactions quickly and a willingness to invest in technology that is mispriced relative to its economic potential. Although the 2008 financial crisis has abated and technology companies generally are enjoying some robust growth, it still remains a challenge for early stage technology companies to find the financial and human resources to foster required growth. This challenge creates an environment where Spectral can seek out and find high impact technology and invest in or acquire this technology at reasonable valuations.
Our business differs from those companies whose capital reserves, successful previous ability to monetize technology and scale, efficiencies and existing customer base allow them to select and develop technology by flooding the technology with financial and human resources. Spectral’s approach is much more targeted. We only develop technology that we believe has a very specific fit with our expertise and limited capital. We develop technology that does not require massive investments in sale and marketing in order to reach an initial audience.
We also intend to continue to identify and acquire desirable technologies throughout the United States, Canada, India and elsewhere within other regions in as much as we are able to acquire and develop such technologies under similar terms and conditions to those of the two portfolio companies we have acquired interests in.
We anticipate spending significant sums on hiring a senior management team with substantial technology experience, including a VP of Information Security and a VP of Sales and Marketing. These executive expenditures, together with expenses related to the development of our portfolio companies technology and expenses we anticipate over the next 12 months, mean that we could spend as much as $5-$10 million over the next 12 months or more, depending on the availability and timing of financing.
Our twelve-month plan projects us to accomplish the following steps:
|
·
|
Continue to Grow Kontexto’s customer base around the world and increase revenues and earnings;
|
|
·
|
Complete and launch the Noot Mobile Application;
|
|
·
|
Build the necessary infrastructure and complete the necessary staff expertise to close on several additional portfolio company purchases/investments in the next 12 to 24 months ;
|
|
·
|
Complete one or more private equity placements to provide funding for developing of our current technologies and the acquisition of additional portfolio companies;
|
|
·
|
Hire a senior management team with a proven track record at the development of high growth, high impact technology.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FROM FEBRUARY 9, 2005 (INCEPTION) AND THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2012 and 2011
Revenues
We are currently engaged in a technology development business and have exited natural resources. We incurred revenues in 2012 due to our oil and gas business, which is discontinued. Our revenues increased $182,109 from $0 for the year ended December 31, 2011 to $182,109 for the year ended December 31, 2012 as we ramped up our technology business and wound down our natural resource projects.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses remained at $0 for both the year ended December 31, 2011 and $0 for the year ended December 31, 2012.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses principally include professional fees, investor relations fees, rent and general corporate overhead. Operating expenses, including wages and benefits and legal fees and increased $300,905, from $1,623,348 for the year ended December 31, 2011 to $1,322,443 for the year ended December 31, 2012, excluding stock based compensation, which was $434,517 in the period ending December 31, 2011 and $2,659,673 in the year ending December 31, 2012.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of the year ended December 31, 2012 we had $84,091 of cash on hand.
Our net loss increased $740,537, from $2,057,865 for the year ended December 31, 2011 to $2,798,402 for the year ended December 31, 2012. This increased net loss was caused primarily by increased expenses related to stock option based compensation.
Net cash used in operating activities decreased $140,705, from $1,262,829 for the year ended December 31, 2011 to $1,122,124 for the year ended December 31, 2012. This decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in wages, travel, legal and expert fees and prepaid expenses.
Net cash provided by financing activities increased $722,196, from $0 for the year ended December 31, 2011 to $722,196 for the year ended December 31, 2012. Net cash provided by financing activities was from an advance from a related party.
We believe that our current financial resources are sufficient to meet our working capital requirements over the next year, given that we have closed a financing subsequent to the end of the period of this report, provided we do not significantly increase our development expenses and develop our portfolio companies as cash permits. We are seeking to raise additional capital though private equity and debt financings. As of the date of this annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, we do not have any specific financing terms from any particular financier other than the financing we closed in February, 2013. We are currently engaged in a number of discussions with potential financiers. There can be no assurance that we will be able to secure these financings, or, if we are able to secure these financings, that it will be on terms favorable, or even acceptable, to us. If necessary, we may explore strategic alternatives, including a merger, asset sale, joint venture or other comparable transactions in order to maximize the value of our assets, though we have no present plans, intentions or negotiations toward such arrangements. Any inability to obtain additional financing would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations and would diminish our ability to adequately exploit our mineral properties and could result in the diminution of our interest in those properties.
Our short-term prospects are promising given our success to date in securing the two portfolio companies, Noot and Kontexto and the success that Kontexto has enjoyed in the market to date. We believe we will experience significant operational and financial growth from these and other portfolio companies during the next 12 months.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors of
Spectral Capital Corporation
Seattle, Washington
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Spectral Capital Corporation (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended and the period from February 9, 2005 (inception) to December 31, 2012. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Spectral Capital Corporation as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended and the period from February 9, 2005 (inception) to December 31, 2012, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that Spectral Capital Corporation will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 7 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred losses from operations, and is in need of additional capital to grow its operations so that it can become profitable. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans with regard to these matters are described in Note 7. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Spectral Capital’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, and due to related parties. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due to either length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these financial statements.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2012, the Company had $84,091 of unrestricted cash to be used for future business operations.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, the balances of which at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company continually monitors its banking relationships and consequently has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation in accordance with the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. Stock-based compensation expense recognized in 2012 and 2011 totalled $1,704,375 and $434,517, respectively, for these options. Unrecognized expense of $1,704,375 remains to be recognized in 2013.
The Company follows ASC Topic 505-50, formerly EITF 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods and Services,” for stock options and warrants issued to consultants and other non-employees. In accordance with ASC Topic 505-50, these stock options and warrants issued as compensation for services provided to the Company are accounted for based upon the fair value of the services provided or the estimated fair market value of the option or warrant, whichever can be more clearly determined. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and additional paid-in capital over the period during which services are rendered. There were 2,500,000 options valued at $1,136,250 issued to an advisor in 2012. Based on the vesting term, $520,781 was charged to consulting expense and $615,469 was recorded as prepaid consulting. There were 750,000 options issued in 2011 to settle a dispute with an advisor. These options were valued at $400,425 using the Black-Scholes pricing model. Additionally, there was $434,517 expense recorded in 2012 and 2011 from options issued in 2010.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized. It is the Company’s policy to classify interest and penalties on income taxes as interest expense or penalties expense. As of December 30, 2012, there have been no interest or penalties incurred on income taxes.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenues when delivery of goods or completion of services has occurred provided there is persuasive evidence of an agreement, acceptance has been approved by its customers, the fee is fixed or determinable based on the completion of stated terms and conditions, and collection of any related receivable is probable.
Basic Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. Common share equivalents totalling 13,750,000 and 14,600,000 were outstanding at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, representing outstanding warrants and options, and were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the periods ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
Mineral Properties
Costs of exploration, carrying and retaining unproven mineral lease properties are expensed as incurred. Mineral property acquisition costs are capitalized including licenses and lease payments. Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, these procedures do not guarantee the Company's title. Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.
Impairment losses are recorded on mineral properties used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amount.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed on the straight line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are three years for the assets currently owned by the Company
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Spectral Capital does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Reclassifications
Certain accounts in these financial statements have been reclassified to correct a typographical error in the prior period.

NOTE 5 – OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES
On February 13, 2012, Spectral Capital Corporation (the "Company") closed its planned purchase of an oil and gas property in the Red Earth Region of Alberta, Canada, which property Spectral purchased from receivership though its newly formed Canadian subsidiary, Shamrock Oil & Gas Ltd. Spectral is the 60% owner of the Canadian subsidiary and its Canadian joint venture partner owns 40% of the subsidiary. The total purchase price for the property was $2,134,949, in the form of the assumption of secured and unsecured claims on the property. Additionally, Spectral has advanced $750,000 in working capital to its Canadian subsidiary to operate the property and service the assumed debts. Spectral has the right, but not the obligation, to fund the project’s requirements on a first position secured creditor basis for up to $17,500,000 at 10% annual interest. If Spectral fails to provide such financing within 24 months, Spectral’s operating joint venture partner may seek co-dilutive financing with Spectral having a right of first refusal on such financing.
On December 31, 2012, the Company entered into an agreement with Akoranga AG, a Company owned by the CEO of Spectral to transfer its ownership interests in the oil and gas properties for $950,000, the value of Spectral’s contributions to the project to date. In satisfaction of the purchase price, Akoranga agreed to offset liabilities of Spectral in the amount of $626,022. The balance owing of $323,978 is non-interest bearing and is to be repaid within a one year period.
As part of the agreement, Akoranga, agrees to assume all liabilities of Shamrock Oil and Gas Ltd. as at December 31, 2012. These liabilities had previously been recorded on the balance sheet of Spectral and as a result, the Company has recognized a gain on transfer of liabilities of $845,680 related to the assumption.
NOTE 6 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Accounts payable totaling $16,468 at December 31, 2012 and 2011, are owed to the CEO of the Company for reimbursement of expenses incurred on behalf of the Company.
At December 31, 2012 and 2011, $81,229 and $20,111, respectively, were owed to Akoranga AG, a Swiss Company owned by the CEO of Spectral. Akoranga was formed to facilitate Spectral’s business in Europe. Fees expensed for services provided by Akoranga totaled $24,184 in 2012 and $29,089 in 2011.
At December 31, 2012, the Company sold its oil and gas business to Akoranga for $950,000 plus the assumption of of all debt related to the oil and gas business. As a result of that transaction, Akoranga owes $323,978 to the Company. The loan balance is due December 31, 2013. Related party loans are unsecured, and non-interest bearing and have no specific terms of repayment unless otherwise noted.
NOTE 7– GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has sustained substantial losses since inception, and is in need of additional capital to grow its operations so that it can become profitable.
In view of this matter, the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon growth of revenues and the ability of the Company to raise additional capital. Management believes that its successful ability to raise capital and increases in revenues will provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 8- STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation in accordance with the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values.

In accordance with ASC Topic 505-50, these stock options and warrants issued as compensation for services provided to the Company are accounted for based upon the fair value of the services provided or the estimated fair market value of the option or warrant, whichever can be more clearly determined.

Because the Company’s stock-based compensation options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the estimate, amounts estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model may differ materially from the actual fair value of the Company’s stock-based compensation options.
NOTE 9 – STOCK WARRANTS
In 2010, the Company issued 5,000,000 warrants in connections with the Definitive Financing Agreement entered into with Gamma Investment Holdings Ltd. (“Gamma”) regarding the acquisition of a 47% undivided interest in two mineral properties in the Chita region of the Russian Federation. The warrants issued to Gamma were capitalized as acquisition costs of the mineral interests. The Company has estimated the fair value of the warrants issued in connection with the acquisition of mineral interests at $1,311,508 as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Gamma warrants were cancelled in 2011.
On January 14, 2011, the Company issued 5,000,000 warrants in connection with a definitive financing agreement with International Asset Holding Corp. regarding the acquisition of a 65% interest in a mining property in Kazakhastan. The company estimated the fair value of the warrants issued in connection with the acquisition of the mineral interest at $15,547,500. These warrants were cancelled on December 31, 2011 due to problems with title transfer of the property. The Company has accounted for these warrants as equity instruments in accordance with EITF 00-19 (ASC 815-40), Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock, and as such, were classified in stockholders’ equity. The Company estimates the fair value of their warrants using the Black-Scholes pricing model.
As of December 31, 2012, the Company does not have any outstanding warrants remaining.

NOTE 12 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
On September 20, 2010, Spectral Capital Corporation entered into a Definitive Financing Agreement ("Agreement") with Gamma Investment Holdings Ltd. (“Gamma”) regarding the acquisition of a 47% undivided interest in two mineral properties in the Chita region of Russia. Under the Agreement, Spectral has agreed to invest a minimum of $35,000,000 into the development of the mineral properties over the next two years as follows: March 20, 2011 - $2,500,000; September 20, 2011 - $2,500,000; September 20, 2012 - $30,000,000, plus additional investments as determined by a Joint Venture Board that is to be
formed under the terms and conditions of the Agreement. Also, under the Agreement, Spectral must maintain a Market Capitalization Minimum as follows: Beginning 12 months from the date of this Agreement, Spectral will maintain a minimum market capitalization on the OTC Bulletin Board, AMEX, NASDAQ or NYSE exchange of at least $100,000,000 based on thirty day trailing volume weighted average closing price ("VWAP") or it would owe Gamma an additional payment of $1,000,000 due within 90 days of the failure to achieve such a VWAP price. Such a minimum capitalization requirement will continue as long as any of Gamma's Warrants granted under the Warrant Agreement remain valid but unexercised. Spectral also granted a net smelter royalty of 2% on gold and 1% on other minerals extracted from the property to Gamma.
Gamma was also issued a warrant to purchase 5,000,000 shares of Spectral common stock at a per share exercise price of $1.00 for a term of five years. The warrant provides for a cashless exercise provision,
provides anti-dilution protections to Gamma and provides penalties to Spectral for failure to promptly issue common shares under the exercised warrants.
Concurrently, the parties entered into a Joint Venture Agreement that specifies how the development of the mineral properties is to take place. Under the Agreement and the Joint Venture Agreement, Spectral has agreed to provide all of the financing that the Joint Venture requires to develop the mineral properties. In the event that Spectral does not meet minimum financing covenants under the Agreement, Spectral's development payments would be converted to a five year, 5% interest bearing loan and Spectral will lose its interest in the mineral properties. In the event that Spectral does meet the minimum financing covenants, but fails to fully fund the development of the mineral properties, Spectral would experience a reduction in its ownership.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS AN ACCOUNTING FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.
There were no previously unreported events under this Item 9 during the year ended December 31, 2012.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2012. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, as well as outside consultants. In assessing the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting we utilized the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission as published in "Internal Control over Financial Reporting – Guidance for Smaller Public Companies." Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer found material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures and therefore concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were ineffective.
The determination of ineffective internal control is based upon the lack of separation of duties. Our entire management is comprised of one individual. It is impossible to create a system of checks and balances with oversight in this circumstance. It is management’s intention to bring additional people into the management team. Once there are more members of management, responsibilities can be divided and oversight roles created. The Company intends to make such hires and create segregation of duties and proper oversight within 12 months. The Company estimates the annual costs of such remediation efforts in the form of additional management will be $150,000 per year.
We understand that remediation of disclosure controls is a continuing work in progress due to the issuance of new standards and promulgations. However, remediation of the material weaknesses described above is among our highest priorities. Our management will periodically assess the progress and sufficiency of our ongoing initiatives and make adjustments as and when necessary. As of the date of this report, our management believes that our efforts will remediate the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as described above.
Notwithstanding these material weaknesses which are described below, our management performed additional analyses, reconciliations and other post-closing procedures and has concluded that the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the periods covered by and included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are fairly stated in all material respects in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. for each of the periods presented herein.
Inherent Limitations Over Internal Controls
The Company's internal control over financial reporting is designed 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. The Company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Company's assets;
26
(ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that the Company's receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Company's management and directors; and
(iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Management does not expect that the Company's internal controls will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of internal controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Also, any evaluation of the effectiveness of controls in future periods are subject to the risk that those internal controls may become inadequate because of changes in business conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the company as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the (i) effectiveness and efficiency of operations, (ii) reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and (iii) compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Our internal controls framework is based on the criteria set forth in the Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
Management, consisting of our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting and Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over the Company's financial reporting.
Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, utilizing the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission as published in "Internal Control over Financial Reporting – Guidance for Smaller Public Companies." Based on the assessment by management, we determined that our internal control over financial reporting was ineffective as of December 31, 2012.
Changes in Internal Control of Financial Reporting
During the year ended there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
