Substantial milestones for the year include:

The HMMR common stock was obtained in a Share Exchange Agreement with two related parties in exchange for the company's Series B preferred stock.
• During the year the company completed the deployment of 108 smart poles and their Apollo smart lights in the capital city of Colombo, Sri Lanka. The project was a pilot for future projects which are currently in the design phase.
• The company progressed in its proposed pilot project to deploy smart poles in the Chicago greater metro area, and expects to finalize the project in the coming quarters.
• The company also progressed in its deployment in the Eastern Caribbean, with the first deployment expected in the third quarter of 2025.
• The Board of Directors approved the conversion of $419,340 in notes payable to related parties to Series B preferred stock and the conversion of $225,000 in accrued salaries of related parties to Series B preferred stock, substantially improving the company's balance sheet.
• All responsibility for the accounting and financial operations of the company have been assumed by the accounting and management staff of 0Wire Communications. The management and operations of the company improved substantially, with the addition of a new Chief Executive Officer, Chief Administrative Officer and Secretary along with several other key senior management positions.
• The company began its strategic rebranding effort. 0Wire was selected because of its alignment with the company's Everything Wireless: Telecommunications+Energy strategy.

Financial milestones include:

• Annual revenue increased to $936,597 in 2024, from $30,600 for the same period in the prior year. Annual revenue included only two months of operations of 0Wire Communications and Endstream Communications.
• The telecommunications business unit reported $770,000 in revenue during the period from August 1, 2024 to October 31, 2024 prior to the acquisition by Viper. The business unit generated in excess of $818,000 in revenue in just two months in November and December, a 37.2% increase in gross revenue as reported on a quarterly basis.
• Operating loss increased marginally to $536,359 from $517,110 in the prior period. $347,340.10 of the SG&A expenses were accrued in the first three quarters of 2024 by Viper, compared with only $17,462 in the final two months of the year. The decrease in SG&A was due to the reduction in accrued salary expenses, contract expenses and accounting expenses caused by the substantial synergies achieved in the acquisition of 0Wire Communications.
• Net loss decreased to $319,085 from a loss of $820,933 in the prior year. The entirety of the loss was accrued during the first ten months of the period. Operations were both EBITDA and cash flow positive for the last two months of the year.
