• Going Concern Warning Issued

  The company explicitly stated that it requires additional funding and faces 'substantial doubt' about its ability to continue as a going concern, with current liabilities exceeding current assets by $19.69 million and only $53,371 in cash.

• Revenue Collapses by 87%

  Q1 2026 revenues plummeted to $18,518 from $141,018 in Q1 2025, primarily due to lower revenues from its Optilan India subsidiary.

• Ineffective Internal Controls

  The CEO concluded that the company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2026, and the company is not materially compliant with SOX Section 404 due to economic constraints.

• Continued Dilutive Equity Financing

  During Q1 2026, DarkPulse issued 9,043,905 common shares for net proceeds of $114,036 under an equity financing agreement. Post-quarter, an additional 10,135,558 shares were issued for $103,606.54, indicating ongoing significant dilution at very low prices.

This quarterly report reveals DarkPulse, Inc. is in severe financial distress. The company's revenue has plummeted by 87% year-over-year, and it continues to operate with a significant working capital deficit and minimal cash on hand. The explicit 'going concern' warning indicates substantial doubt about its ability to survive without further capital, which it is raising through highly dilutive equity offerings at extremely low prices. Furthermore, the CEO has declared internal controls over financial reporting ineffective, a major red flag for investors. The ongoing legal battles, while some have resulted in favorable judgments, have not yet yielded collected funds, adding to the company's precarious financial state.
