Certain statements included or incorporated by reference in this Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Annual Report”) are not historical facts but are forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions under The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as “may”, “should”, “would”, “plan”, “intend”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “predict”, “potential”, “seem”, “seek”, “continue”, “future”, “will”, “expect”, “outlook” or other similar words, phrases or expressions. These forward-looking statements include statements regarding our industry, future events, strategy, plans, intentions, or expectations or anticipated future results and other statements that are not historical facts. These statements are based on the current beliefs and assumptions of our management and are not predictions of actual performance. These statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties regarding our business that may change at any time, and, therefore, our actual results may differ materially from those that we expected. The factors that may affect our results include, among others: the impact of political and economic conditions on the demand for our services; the impact of a data or security breach; the impact of competition or alternatives to our services on our business pricing and other actions by competitors; our ability to address technological development and change in order to keep pace with our industry and the industries of our clients; the impact of terrorism, natural disasters or similar events on our business; the effect of legislative and regulatory actions in the United States and internationally; the impact of operational failure due to the unavailability or failure of third-party services on which we rely; the effect of intellectual property infringement; the implementation and effects of our restructuring plan; and other factors discussed in this report under the sections entitled “Risk Factors”, “Legal Proceedings”, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and otherwise identified or discussed in this Annual Report. You should consider these factors carefully in evaluating forward-looking statements and are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements, which speak only as of the date of this report.
The forward-looking statements made by us in this report speak only as of the date of this report. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this report, except as otherwise required by law. In addition, forward-looking statements provide our expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views based upon information available to us as of the date of this report and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain, and you are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements.
These statements include, but are not limited to, the following:
| ● | the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances, including the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against us; |
| ● | the ability to maintain the listing of our securities on The Nasdaq Stock Market, and the potential liquidity and trading of our securities; |
| ● | the risk of disruption to our current plans and operations; |

| ● | costs related to our business; |
| ● | changes in applicable laws or regulations; |
| ● | our ability to meet its future capital requirements to fund our operations, which may involve debt and/or equity financing, and to obtain such debt and/or equity financing on favorable terms, and our sources and uses of cash; |
| ● | our ability to achieve and sustain profitability of our existing lines of business and through our wholly owned subsidiaries; |
| ● | our ability to raise sufficient capital to continue to acquire cybersecurity companies; |
| ● | our ability to attract and retain qualified cybersecurity talent; |

| ● | our ability to stay in compliance with laws and regulations currently applicable to, or which may become applicable to our business both in the United States and internationally; |
| ● | our ability to maintain existing license agreements; |
| ● | our estimates regarding expenses, future revenue, capital requirements, and need for additional financing; |
| ● | our ability to achieve and maintain profitability in the future; |
| ● | our financial performance; and |
| ● | The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of the other documents filed by the Company from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). There can be no assurance that future developments affecting the Company will be those that the Company has anticipated. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws. |
The following is a summary of the principal risks that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results, cash flows and/or stock price. Discussion of the risks listed below, and other risks that we face, are discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of this Annual Report.
Risks Related to Our Business Generally
| ● | Cycurion has a limited operating history upon which you can evaluate our future business and prospects. |
| ● | Cycurion has incurred net losses and cannot assure you that it will achieve or maintain profitable operations. |
| ● | Cycurion’s level of indebtedness and debt service obligations could adversely affect its financial condition and make it more difficult for management to fund its operations. |
| ● | Cycurion’s recurring losses, net working capital, and accumulated deficit resulting from substantial operating losses have raised substantial doubt regarding its ability to continue as a going concern. |
| ● | We will require substantial additional funding in the future, which may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all, and, if not so available, may require us to delay, limit, reduce, or cease our operations. |
| ● | Cycurion’s ability to grow and compete in the future will be adversely affected if adequate capital is not available to it or not available on favorable terms. |
| ● | If Cycurion does not continue to innovate and offer solutions and professional services that address the dynamic threat landscape, it may not remain competitive and its revenue and operating results could suffer. |
| ● | Cycurion must continually enhance its training, existing solutions and technology tools and develop or acquire new solutions and tools, or it will lose clients and its competitive position will suffer. |
| ● | As a cybersecurity provider, we are a target of cyber-attacks and other cyber risks that could adversely impact our reputation and operating results. |
| ● | Future acquisitions could disrupt our business and harm our financial condition and operating results. |
Risks Related to the SLG Assignment Agreement
| ● | We may fail to consummate some, or all of the assumptions contemplated by the SLG Assignment Agreement. |
| ● | Due Diligence may not reveal all issues with respect to SLG. |
| ● | We may incur significant unforeseen costs related to our possible assumption of the to-be-assigned SLG agreements, which, if assumed by us, would result in our becoming the prime contractor thereunder, that are the subject of the SLG Assignment Agreement. |
| ● | There is no assurance that any or all the counterparties to the to-be-assigned SLG agreements, which, if we are able to assume, would result in our becoming the prime contractor thereunder, will permit such assignment by SLG and assumption by us. |
| ● | There is no assurance that we will be able to integrate becoming the prime contractor under the to-be-assigned SLG agreements into our business model, which could then result in significant disruption to our business. |
| ● | There is no assurance that the to-be-assigned SLG agreements, which, if assumed by us, would result in our becoming the prime contractor thereunder, will perform as expected. |
Risks Related to Securities Markets and Investments in Our Common Stock
| ● | Cycurion has no current plans to pay dividends on its shares of common stock. |
| ● | Our common stock price may be volatile and as a result you could lose all or part of your investment. |
| ● | Potential future sales pursuant to registration rights granted by the Company and under Rule 144 may depress the market price for our shares of common stock. |
| ● | We face risks related to compliance with corporate governance laws and financial reporting standards. |
| ● | Nasdaq may delist our securities from trading on its exchange. |
| ● | The market price of the Company’s shares of common stock is likely to be highly volatile, and you may lose some or all of your investment. |
| ● | A “short squeeze” due to a sudden increase in demand for shares of our common stock that largely exceeds supply and/or focused investor trading in anticipation of a potential short squeeze have led to, may be currently leading to, and could again lead to, extreme price volatility in shares of our common stock. |
Risks Related to Operating as a Public Company
| ● | The Company’s management team has limited skills related to experience managing a public company. |
| ● | Cycurion may incur significantly increased costs and devote substantial management time as a result of operating as a public company. |
| ● | Certain recent public offerings of companies with public floats comparable to the public float of Cycurion have experienced extreme volatility that was seemingly unrelated to the underlying performance of the respective company. The Company may experience similar volatility, which may make it difficult for prospective investors to assess the value of its shares of common stock. |
