Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2020

 

NOTE 1 -ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Organization and Operations

 

iQSTEL Inc. (“iQSTEL”, “we”, “us”, or the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on June 24, 2011 under the name of PureSnax International, Inc. and changed its name to iQSTEL Inc. on August 7, 2018.

 

The Company has been engaged in the business of telecommunication services as a wholesale carrier of voice, SMS and data for other telecom companies around the World with more than 150 active interconnection agreements with mobile companies, fix line companies and other wholesale carriers.

 

Acquisition

 

On April 15, 2020, we entered into a Company Acquisition Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Francisco Bunt regarding the acquisition of 51% of the shares in loT Labs, LLC (“loT Labs”). The loT Labs’ principal business activity is the sale of Short Messages (SMS) between USA and Mexico.

 

COVID-19

 

A novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) was first identified in December 2019, and subsequently declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020. As a result of the outbreak, many companies have experienced disruptions in their operations and in markets served. The Company has instituted some and may take additional temporary precautionary measures intended to help ensure the well-being of its employees and minimize business disruption. The Company considered the impact of COVID-19 on the assumptions and estimates used and determined that there were no material adverse impacts on the Company’s results of operations and financial position at September 30, 2020. The full extent of the future impacts of COVID-19 on the Company’s operations is uncertain. A prolonged outbreak could have a material adverse impact on financial results and business operations of the Company, including the timing and ability of the Company to collect accounts receivable and the ability of the Company to continue to provide high quality services to its clients. The Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require an update to its estimates or judgments or a revision of the carrying value of its assets or liabilities as of November 13 2020, the date of issuance of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These estimates may change, as new events occur and additional information is obtained.

 

NOTE 2 -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not contain all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements.

 

In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements contain all the adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) to present the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2020 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future period. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the SEC on April 15, 2020.

 

Consolidation Policy

 

The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and its owned subsidiaries, Etelix.com USA, LLC, SwissLink Carrier AG, ITSBCHAIN, LLC, QGLOBAL SMS, LLC and loT Labs, LLC. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

NOTE 2 -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America 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 of the financial statements. The estimates and judgments will also affect the reported amounts for certain revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these good faith estimates and judgments.

 

Foreign Currency Translation and Re-measurement

 

The Company translates its foreign operations to U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters”.

 

The Company’s, Etelix’s, ITSBCHAIN, LLC’s, QGLOBAL SMS, LLC’s and loT Labs LLC’s functional currency and reporting currency is the U.S. dollar, SwissLink’s functional currency is the Swiss Franc (“CHF”).

 

SwissLink translates their records into U.S. dollars as follows:

 

·Assets and liabilities at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date  

·Equities at historical rate  

·Revenue and expense items at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the period  

 

Adjustments arising from such translations are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts

 

Substantially all of the Company’s accounts receivable balance is related to trade receivables. Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. The Company reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts daily, past due balances over 60 days and a specified amount are reviewed individually for collectability. Account balances are charged off after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had no valuation allowance for doubtful accounts for the Company’s accounts receivable and recorded no bad debt expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of its cash and cash equivalents and related party payables that it will likely incur in the near future. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions of high creditworthiness. At times, its cash and cash equivalents with a particular financial institution may exceed any applicable government insurance limits; however, management believes that there is no unusual risk present, as the Company places its cash with financial institutions which management considers being of high quality.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, fourteen customers represented 80% of our consolidated revenues. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, six customers represented 79% of our consolidated revenues. 39% of the revenue comes from customers under prepayment conditions which means there is no credit or bad debt risk on that portion of the customers portfolio.

September 30, 2020

 

NOTE 2 -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue from telecommunication services in accordance with ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.”

 

The Company recognizes revenue related to monthly usage charges and other recurring charges during the period in which the telecommunication services are rendered, provided that persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement existed, and collection was reasonably assured. Management considers persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement to be a written interconnection agreement. The Company’s payment terms vary by clients.

 

Lease

 

The Company leases office space for corporate and network monitoring activities and to house telecommunications equipment.

 

In accordance with ASC 842, “Leases”, we determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception.

 

The office lease meets the definition of a short-term lease because the lease term is 12 months or less. Consequently, consistent with Company’s accounting policy election, the Company does not recognize the right-of-use asset and the lease liability arising from this lease.

 

Retirement Benefit Costs

 

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due. Payments made to state-managed retirement benefit schemes are dealt with as payments to defined contribution schemes where the Company’s obligations under the schemes are equivalent to those arising in a defined contribution retirement benefit scheme.

 

For defined benefit schemes, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at each balance sheet date. Actuarial gains and losses are recognized in full in the period in which they occur. They are recognized outside the income statement and are presented in other comprehensive income. Past service cost is recognized immediately in the income statement in the period in which it occurs.

 

The retirement benefit obligation recognized in the balance sheet represents the present value of the defined obligation as adjusted for unrecognized past service cost, and as reduced by the fair value of the scheme assets. Any asset resulting from this calculation is limited to past service cost, plus the present value of available refunds and reductions in future contributions to the scheme.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued since the last audit of our financial statements. The Company’s management believes that these recent pronouncements will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 

NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN

 

The Company’s financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company does not have significant cash, nor does it have an established source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and to allow it to continue as a going concern. In addition, the Company incurred a net loss of $3,501,963 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and has negative working capital as of September 30, 2020. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

iQSTEL INC

Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2020

 

NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN (Continued)

 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish its business plan and eventually attain profitable operations.

 

During the next year, the Company’s foreseeable cash requirements will relate to continual development of the operations of its business, maintaining its good standing and marketing expenses. The Company may experience a cash shortfall and be required to raise additional capital.

 

Historically, the Company has relied upon funds from its stockholders. Management may raise additional capital through future public or private offerings of the Company’s stock or through loans from private investors, although there can be no assurance that it will be able to obtain such financing. The Company’s failure to do so could have a material and adverse effect upon its operations and its stockholders.

 

NOTE 4 - ACQUISITION

 

On April 15, 2020, we entered into a Company Acquisition Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Francisco Bunt regarding the acquisition of 51% of the shares in loT Labs. The Company’s principal business activity is the sale of Short Messages (SMS) between USA and Mexico.

 

We have agreed to pay a total of $180,000 for the 51% interest in the Company. The consideration shall occur with an installment of $60,000 on the date of the execution of the Agreement, followed by a second payment of $60,000 at closing and a final payment of $60,000 that is set to occur 60 days following the closing date. Under the Agreement, Mr. Bunt has the right to request that any of the aforementioned payments be made in shares of our common stock, which the parties have agreed to value at $2.00 per share. The shares are subject to adjustment after 180 days and up to 360 days after issuance if our stock trades at less than $2.00 per share. The Agreement provides for a right of return to Mr. Bunt of the shares in the Company if we fail to make timely payments.

 

The following table summarizes the fair value of the consideration paid by the Company and the fair value amounts assigned to the assets acquired on the acquisition date:

NOTE 10 - DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

 

The Company analyzed the conversion options for derivative accounting consideration under ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” and determined that the instrument should be classified as a liability since the conversion options become effective at issuance resulting in there being no explicit limit to the number of shares to be delivered upon settlement of the above conversion options.

 

Fair Value Assumptions Used in Accounting for Derivative Liabilities.

 

ASC 815 requires we assess the fair market value of derivative liability at the end of each reporting period and recognize any change in the fair market value as other income or expense item.

 

The Company determined our derivative liabilities to be a Level 3 fair value measurement and used the Black-Scholes pricing model to calculate the fair value as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The Black-Scholes model requires six basic data inputs: the exercise or strike price, time to expiration, the risk-free interest rate, the current stock price, the estimated volatility of the stock price in the future, and the dividend rate. Changes to these inputs could produce a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. The fair value of each convertible note is estimated using the Black-Scholes valuation model.

 

The estimated fair values of the liabilities measured on a recurring basis are as follows:

 

 

 

Nine Months Ended

 

Year Ended

December31,

 

 

2020

NOTE 15 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Subsequent to September 30, 2020 and through the date that these financials were made available, the Company had the following subsequent events:

 

On November 1, 2020, our board of directors approved amended employments in favor of our Chief Executive Officer, Leandro Iglesias, our Chief Financial Officer, Alvaro Quintana, and our Chief Commercial Officer, Juan Carlos Lopez Silva.

 

The amended employment agreement in favor of Mr. Iglesias extended the term of employment from 36 months to 60 months. The now five year employment agreement with Mr. Iglesias provides that we will compensate him with a salary of $17,000 monthly and he is eligible for quarterly bonus of 250,000 shares of our common stock. If we do not have the cash available, the agreement provides that Mr. Iglesias may convert his accrued salary/bonus into shares of our common stock or newly created Series A Preferred Stock. For common shares, the amount of accrued salary to be converted into shares must be determined by considering the average price per share of the Company’s common stock on the OTC Markets during the last 10 days and applying a discount of 25%.” For Series A Preferred Shares, the amount of accrued salary to be converted into shares is the per share conversion price for common shares multiplied by ten US Dollars ($10). Mr. Iglesias has a further right to convert any common shares under his control into Series A Preferred shares at any time at a rate of ten (10) common shares for each Series A Preferred share.

 

The amended employment agreement in favor of Mr. Quintana extended the term of employment from 36 months to 60 months. The now five year employment agreement with Mr. Quintana provides that he is eligible for quarterly bonus of 200,000 shares of our common stock. If we do not have the cash available, the agreement provides that Mr. Quintana may convert his accrued salary/bonus into shares of our common stock or newly created Series A Preferred Stock. For common shares, the amount of accrued salary to be converted into shares must be determined by considering the average price per share of the Company’s common stock on the OTC Markets during the last 10 days and applying a discount of 25%.” For Series A Preferred Shares, the amount of accrued salary to be converted into shares is the per share conversion price for common shares multiplied by ten US Dollars ($10). Mr. Quintana has a further right to convert any common shares under his control into Series A Preferred shares at any time at a rate of ten (10) common shares for each Series A Preferred share.

 

The amended employment agreement in favor of Mr. Silva extended the term of employment from 36 months to 60 months. Mr. Silva is eligible for quarterly bonuses of 150,000 shares of our common stock. If we do not have the cash available, the agreement provides that Mr. Iglesias may convert his accrued salary/bonus into shares of our common stock at the average price of our common stock during the last 10 days after applying a discount of 25%.

Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects on a consolidated basis include, but are not limited to: changes in economic conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, availability of capital, interest rates, competition, and generally accepted accounting principles.

Results of Operations

 

Revenues

 

Our total revenue reported for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was $13,291,698, compared with $4,172,547 for the three months ended September 30, 2019. These numbers reflect an increase of 218.55% quarter over quarter on our consolidated revenues. Our total revenue reported for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $29,439,196, compared with $12,589,109 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

When looking at the numbers by subsidiary, we have the following breakout for the nine months ended September 30, 2020:

Cost of Revenues

 

Our total cost of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2020 increased to $13,158,685, compared with $3,929,137 for the three months ended September 30, 2019. Our total cost of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 increased to $28,735,016, compared with $12,001,850 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

 

Our cost of revenues consists of direct charges from vendors that the Company incurs to deliver services to its customers. These costs primarily consist of usage charges for calls and SMS terminated in vendor’s network.

 

The behavior in the costs shows a logical correlation with the behavior of the revenue commented above. We have reached a higher volume of sales and every additional unit sold (minutes and SMS) has its corresponding termination cost.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses increased to $958,787 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 from $492,782 for the three months ended September 30, 2019. Operating expenses increased to $3,161,330 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 from $1,024,842 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The detail by major category for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 is reflected in the table below.

The main reasons for the overall increase in operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period of 2019 is that in 2020 we are reflecting the costs corresponding to 5 operating subsidiaries (Etelix.com, SwissLink, ItsBchain, QGlobal and IoT Labs) plus the corporate costs corresponding to iQSTEL itself; while in 2019 operating expenses corresponded only to Etelix, a portion corresponding to SwissLink (this subsidiary is consolidated since August 15, 2019) and corporate costs of iQSTEL; as shown in the table below.

The most significant difference is generated by iQSTEL which is due to the following: (1) the Salaries, Wages and Benefits as a result of the new employment agreements with the Management Team members valid from May 2019, where the aggregated monthly salaries varied from $11,500 to $36,000, and the implementation starting on January 2020 of a compensation for Board Members of 3,000 monthly; (2) Advertising corresponds to the third-party consultancy for the design and implementation of a Social Media communication strategy oriented to build and enhance our companies and brand image; and (3) Stock-based compensation.

Operating Income

 

The Company showed negative Operating Income for the three months ended September 30, 2020 of $825,774 compared with a negative result of $249,372 for the three months ended September 30, 2019.

 

The Company showed negative Operating Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 of $2,457,150 compared with a negative result of $437,583 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

 

The increase of the numbers for the nine month period above is primarily due to the costs associated with the operation of the public entity (iQSTEL, Inc.) estimated in the amount of $2,242,336.

 

Other Expenses/Other Income

 

We had other expenses of $144,451 for the three months ended September 30, 2020, as compared with other expenses of $3,268,651 for the same period ended 2019. We had other expenses of $1,044,813 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared with other expenses of $4,590,259 for the same period ended 2019. The decrease in other expenses is a result of the positive change in fair value of derivative liabilities.

 

Net Income

 

We finished the three months ended September 30, 2020 with a net loss of $970,225, as compared to a loss of $3,517,171 during the three months ended September 30, 2019. We finished the nine months ended September 30, 2020 with a loss of $3,501,963, as compared to a loss of $5,026,990 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

 

The reasons for specific components are discussed above. Overall, these are the main concepts impacting the net result: (1) an increment in interest expenses of $582,478 year over year to total $2,368,107; and (2) the Operating Expenses of the public entity of $2,242,336.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of September 30, 2020, we had total current assets of $2,968,653 and current liabilities of $7,940,889, resulting in a working capital deficit of $4,972,236‬. This compares with the working capital deficit of $7,707,148‬ at December 31, 2019. This decrease in working capital deficit, as discussed in more detail below, is primarily the result of the increase of $376,831 in the cash position and a reduction of $4,085,931 in the derivative liabilities.‬ ‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬

 

Our operating activities used $1,526,513 in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared with $1,331,051 used in operating activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

 

Investing activities used $79,324 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Uses of funds on investing activities were the purchase of property and equipment for value of $78,306 and net payment of loans between related parties of $17,187.

 

Financing activities provided $1,968,632 in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared with $1,327,978 provided in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Our positive financing cash flow in 2020 was largely the result of the net proceeds from loans $325,833, net proceeds from convertible notes $927,810; and proceed from the subscription of new common stocks under our Regulation A offering $715,004.

 

Based upon our current financial condition, we do not have sufficient cash to operate our business at the current level for the next twelve months. We intend to fund operations through increased sales and debt and/or equity financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund expenditures or other cash requirements. The Company has received the qualification of an Offering Statement under Regulation A for the sale of up to 24,000,000 common shares. This offering is being conducted on a “best efforts” basis, which means that there is no guarantee that any minimum amount will be sold. We also plan to seek additional financing in a private equity offering to secure funding for operations. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising additional funding. If we are not able to secure additional funding, the implementation of our business plan will be impaired. There can be no assurance that such additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms or at all.

 

Inflation

 

Although our operations are influenced by general economic conditions, we do not believe that inflation had a material effect on our results of operations during the nine month period ended September 30, 2020.

 


26


 

 

Critical Accounting Polices

 

In December 2001, the SEC requested that all registrants list their most “critical accounting polices” in the Management Discussion and Analysis. The SEC indicated that a “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results, and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Our critical accounting policies are disclosed in Note 2 of our audited consolidated financial statements included in the Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of September 30, 2020, there were no off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The recent accounting pronouncements that are material to our financial statements are disclosed in Note 2 of our consolidated audited financial statements included in the Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in Note 2 of our unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

We are a smaller reporting company and are not required to provide the information under this item pursuant to Regulation S-K.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures - Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this report.

 

These controls are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of September 30, 2020. Our management identified the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which are indicative of many small companies with small staff: (i) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; and (ii) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both US GAAP and SEC guidelines.

 

We believe that our financial statements presented in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for all periods presented herein.

 

Inherent Limitations - Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. 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 controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdown can occur because of simple error or mistake. In particular, many of our current processes rely upon manual reviews and processes to ensure that neither human error nor system weakness has resulted in erroneous reporting of financial data.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting - There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three month period ended September 30, 2020, which were identified in conjunction with management’s evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
