The United States Government’s dissolution of the Affordable Connectivity Program (“ACP”) will have a substantial adverse effect on our current and planned business operations.

Since the introduction of the ACP, we have derived over 70% of our revenue from reimbursement payments from the federal government under the ACP. Effective February 7, 2024, the ACP stopped accepting new applications and enrollments, and the program ceased funding on June 1, 2024. The cease in reimbursement payments from governmental agencies will have a substantial adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results as we transition our focus to the Company’s other lines of business, such as non-subsidized market and LinkUp Mobile, of which there is no guarantee the Company will successfully be able to meet or exceed the revenue that was previously generated through subsidies from the ACP. Additionally, some of our growth plans for the non-ACP business segments of the Company are dependent on the growth of the ACP customers, and we may lose the opportunity to expand our other business segments, which will have a substantial adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results.

We may require additional capital as we endeavor to replace lost revenue from the ACP, but we do not have any commitments to obtain such capital and we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain adequate capital as and when required.

Due to the loss of revenue from the expiration of the ACP, we expect to incur a loss for the calendar year ended December 31, 2024. If we fail to replace the lost revenue from the Company’s other business segments, we will not be able to sustain our growth, which will have a substantial adverse effect on the financial condition and operating results of the Company. We will need to adjust operations to control our cash expenses; however, we cannot give assurance that we can increase our cash balances or limit our cash consumption and thus maintain sufficient cash balances for our planned operations. Future business demands may lead to cash utilization at levels greater than recently experienced. We may need to raise additional capital in the future. However, we cannot assure that we will be able to raise additional capital on acceptable terms, or at all.
