NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 | ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS |
a) | Organization |
On May 12, 2016, QPAGOS (formerly known as Asiya Pearls, Inc.), a Nevada corporation (“QPAGOS”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Qpagos Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Qpagos Corporation”), and Qpagos Merge, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of QPAGOS (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on May 12, 2016, the merger was consummated and Qpagos Corporation and Merger Sub merged (the “Merger”), with Qpagos Corporation continuing as the surviving corporation of the Merger.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, upon consummation of the Merger, each share of Qpagos Corporation’s capital stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger was converted into the right to receive two shares of QPAGOS common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”). Additionally, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, upon consummation of the Merger, QPAGOS assumed all of Qpagos Corporation’s warrants issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger, which were exercisable for approximately 6,219,200 shares of Common Stock, respectively, as of the date of the Merger. Prior to and as a condition to the closing of the Merger, the then-current QPAGOS stockholder of 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock agreed to return to QPAGOS 4,975,000 shares of Common Stock held by such holder to QPAGOS and the then-current QPAGOS stockholder retained an aggregate of 25,000 shares of Common Stock and the other stockholders of QPAGOS retained 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock. Therefore, immediately following the Merger, Qpagos Corporation’s former stockholders held 49,929,000 shares of QPAGOS common stock which represented approximately 91% of the outstanding Common Stock.
The Merger was treated as a reverse acquisition of QPAGOS, a public shell company, for financial accounting and reporting purposes. As such, Qpagos Corporation was treated as the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes while QPAGOS was treated as the acquired entity for accounting and financial reporting purposes.
QPAGOS Corporation (“QPAGOS”) was incorporated on May 1, 2015 under the laws of the state of Delaware to effectuate a reverse merger transaction with Qpagos, S.A.P.I. de C.V. (Qpagos) and Redpag Electrónicos S.A.P.I. de C.V. (Redpag). Each of the entities were incorporated in November 2013 in Mexico.
QPagos, S.A.P.I. de C.V. was formed to process payment transactions for service providers it contracts with, and Redpag Electrónicos S.A.P.I. de C.V. was formed to deploy and operate kiosks as a distributor.
On May 27, 2016 Asiya changed its name to QPAGOS. QPAGOS and its direct and indirect subsidiaries Qpagos Corporation, QPagos, S.A.P.I. de C.V. and Redpag Electrónicos S.A.P.I. de C.V., will be referred to hereafter as “the Company”.
On June 1, 2016, the board of directors changed the Company’s fiscal year end from October 31 to December 31.
b) | Description of the business |
QPAGOS Corporation, through its subsidiaries Qpagos S.A.P.I de C.V. (“Qpagos”) and Redpag Electronicos S.A.P.I de C.V. (“Redpag”), provides physical and virtual payment services to the Mexican market. The Company provides an integrated network of kiosks, terminals and payment channels that enable consumers in Mexico to deposit cash, convert it into a digital form and remit the funds to any merchant in our network quickly and securely. The Company helps consumers and merchants connect more efficiently in markets and consumer segments, such as Mexico, that are largely cash-based and lack convenient alternatives for consumers to pay for goods and services in physical, online and mobile environments. For example, our licensed technology can be used to pay bills, add minutes to mobile phones, purchase transportation and tickets, shop online or at a retail store, buy digital services or send money to a friend or relative.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
2 | ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES |
a) |
Basis of Presentation |
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments), which the Company considers necessary, for a fair presentation of those financial statements. The results of operations and cash flows for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2018 may not necessarily be indicative of results that may be expected for any succeeding quarter or for the entire fiscal year. The information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of QPAGOS for the year ended December 31, 2017, included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 17, 2018.
All amounts referred to in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are in United States Dollars ($) unless stated otherwise.
b) | Principles of Consolidation |
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary and its indirect subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. The entities included in these consolidated financial statements are as follows:
QPAGOS – Parent Company
Qpagos Corporation – 100% owned
Qpagos, S.A.P.I de C.V., a Mexican entity (99.996% owned)
Redpag Electrónicos, S.A.P.I. de C.V., a Mexican entity (99.990% owned)
c) | Mexican Operations |
The financial statements of the Company’s Mexican operations are measured using local currencies as their functional currencies.
The Company translates the assets and liabilities of its Mexican subsidiaries at the exchange rates in effect at period end and the results of operations at the average rate throughout the period. The translation adjustments are recorded directly as a separate component of stockholders’ equity, while transaction gains (losses) are included in net income (loss). All sales to customers are in Mexico.
d) | Use of Estimates |
The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions, which are evaluated on an ongoing basis, that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the amounts of revenues and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates and judgments. In particular, significant estimates and judgments include those related to: the estimated useful lives for plant and equipment, the fair value of warrants and stock options granted for services or compensation, estimates of the probability and potential magnitude of contingent liabilities, derivative liabilities, the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets due to continuing operating losses, those related to revenue recognition and the allowance for doubtful accounts.
Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near-term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from our estimates.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
2 | ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES (continued) |
e) | Contingencies |
Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur.
The Company’s management assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material would be disclosed. Loss contingencies considered to be remote by management are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantee would be disclosed.
f) | Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
The Company adopted the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 for fair value measurements which clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.
Level 2-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3-Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, other current assets, other assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and notes payable, approximate fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments. The Company did not identify any other assets or liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheets at fair value in accordance with the accounting guidance.
ASC 825-10 “Financial Instruments” allows entities to voluntarily choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value (fair value option). The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable, unless a new election date occurs. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, unrealized gains and losses for that instrument should be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The Company did not elect to apply the fair value option to any outstanding instruments.
g) | Risks and Uncertainties |
The Company’s operations will be subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial, operational, regulatory and other risks, including the potential risk of business failure. The recent global economic crisis has caused a general tightening in the credit markets, lower levels of liquidity, increases in the rates of default and bankruptcy, and extreme volatility in credit, equity and fixed income markets. These conditions not only limit the Company’s access to capital, but also make it difficult for its customers, vendors and the Company to accurately forecast and plan future business activities.
The Company’s operations are carried out in Mexico. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environment in Mexico and by the general state of that economy. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

h) | Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting.
The amendments in this Update expand the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. An entity should apply the requirements of Topic 718 to nonemployee awards except for specific guidance on inputs to an option pricing model and the attribution of cost (that is, the period of time over which share-based payment awards vest and the pattern of cost recognition over that period). The amendments specify that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The amendments also clarify that Topic 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (1) financing to the issuer or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than an entity’s adoption date of Topic 606.
In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842) Targeted Improvements.
The amendments in this Update provide entities with an additional (and optional) transition method to adopt the new leases standard. Under this new transition method, an entity initially applies the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognizes a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption consistent with preparers’ requests.
The amendments in this Update provide lessors with a practical expedient, by class of underlying asset, to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease component and, instead, to account for those components as a single component if the non-lease components otherwise would be accounted for under the new revenue guidance (Topic 606) and both of the following are met: 1. The timing and pattern of transfer of the non-lease component(s) and associated lease component are the same. 2. The lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease.
The amendments in this Update related to separating components of a contract affect the amendments in Update 2016-02, which are not yet effective but can be early adopted.
Any new accounting standards, not disclosed above, that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon adoption.

2 | ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES (continued) |
i) | Reporting by segment |
No segmental information is required as the Company currently only has one segment of business, providing physical and virtual payment services in the Mexican Market.
j) | Cash and Cash Equivalents |
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, the Company had no cash equivalents.
The Company assesses credit risk associated with cash by periodically evaluating the credit quality of its primary financial institution in the United States. The balance at times may exceed federally insured limits. At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, cash balances in the United States did not exceed the federally insured limit.
k) | Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts |
Accounts receivable are reported at realizable value, net of allowances for doubtful accounts, which is estimated and recorded in the period the related revenue is recorded. The Company has a standardized approach to estimate and review the collectability of its receivables based on a number of factors, including the period they have been outstanding. Historical collection and payer reimbursement experience is an integral part of the estimation process related to allowances for doubtful accounts. In addition, the Company regularly assesses the state of its billing operations in order to identify issues, which may impact the collectability of these receivables or reserve estimates. Revisions to the allowance for doubtful accounts estimates are recorded as an adjustment to bad debt expense. Receivables deemed uncollectible are charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts at the time such receivables are written-off. Recoveries of receivables previously written-off are recorded as credits to the allowance for doubtful accounts. There were no recoveries during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2018 and December 2017.
l) | Cost Method Investments |
Investee companies not accounted for under the consolidation or the equity method are accounted for under the cost method of accounting. Under this method, the Company’s share of earnings or losses of such investee companies is not included in the condensed consolidated balance sheet or statement of operations and comprehensive loss. However, impairment charges are recognized in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. If circumstances suggest that the value of the investee company has subsequently recovered, such recovery is not recorded. There is no impairment of investment at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.
m) | Inventory |
The Company primarily values inventories at net realizable value applied on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company identifies and writes down its excess and obsolete inventories to net realizable value based on usage forecasts, order volume and inventory aging. With the development of new products, the Company also rationalizes its product offerings and will write-down discontinued product to the lower of cost or net realizable value.
n) | Advances received from customers |
Other than the sale of kiosks to customers, the provision of services through the Company’s kiosks is conducted on a cash basis. Customers are required to deposit cash with the Company to meet anticipated demand for services provided through kiosks either owned or operated by them. The services provided through the customer owned or operated kiosks are deducted from the deposits held on their behalf, the Company requires that these deposits be replenished as and when the services are provided.

2 | ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES (continued) |
o) | Plant and equipment |
Plant and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Plant and equipment with costs greater than $1,000 are capitalized and depreciated. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows:
Description | Estimated Useful Life |
Kiosks | 7 years |
Computer equipment | 3 years |
Leasehold improvements | Lesser of estimated useful life or life of lease |
Office equipment | 10 years |
The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income in the year of disposition.
p) | Intangibles |
All of our intangible assets are subject to amortization. We evaluate the recoverability of intangible assets periodically by taking into account events or circumstances that may warrant revised estimates of useful lives or that indicate the asset may be impaired. Where intangibles are deemed to be impaired we recognize an impairment loss measured as the difference between the estimated fair value of the intangible and its book value.
i) License Agreements
License agreements acquired by the Company are reported at acquisition value less accumulated amortization and impairments.
ii) Amortization
Amortization is reported in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the intangible assets, unless the useful life is indefinite. Amortizable intangible assets are amortized from the date that they are available for use. The estimated useful life of the license agreement is five years which is the expected period for which the Company expects to derive a benefit from the underlying license agreements.
q) | Long-Term Assets |
Assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.
r) | Revenue Recognition |
The Company’s revenue recognition policy is consistent with the requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue.
The Company has analyzed its revenue transaction pursuant to ASC 606, Revenue, and it has no material impact as a result of the transition from ASC 605 to 606. The Company’s revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those services. The Company derives its revenues from the sale of its services, as defined below. The Company applies the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its revenue transactions:
i. | identify the contract with a customer; |
ii. | identify the performance obligations in the contract; |
iii. | determine the transaction price; |
iv. | allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and |
v. | recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied. |

2 | ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES (continued) |
r) | Revenue Recognition (continued) |
The Company has the following sources of revenue which is recognized on the basis described below.
● | Revenue from the sale of services. |
Prepaid services are acquired from providers and is sold to end-users through kiosks that the Company owns or kiosks that are owned by third parties. The Company recognizes the revenue on the sale of these services when the end-user deposits funds into the terminal and the prepaid service is delivered to the end-user. The revenue is recognized at the gross value, including margin, of the prepaid service to the Company, net of any value-added tax which is collected on behalf of the Mexican Revenue Authorities.
● | Payment processing provided to end-users |
The Company provides a secure means for end-users to pay for certain services, such as utilities through our kiosks. The Company earns either a fixed per-transaction fee or a fixed percentage of the service sold. The Company acts as a collection agent and recognizes the payment processing fee, net of any value-added taxes collected on behalf of the Mexican Revenue Authorities, when the funds are deposited into the kiosk and the customer has settled his liability or has acquired a prepaid service.
● | Revenue from the sale of kiosks. |
The Company imports, assembles and sell kiosks that are used to generate the revenues discussed above. Revenue is recognized on the full value of the kiosks sold, net of any valued added taxation collected on behalf of the Mexican Revenue Authorities, when the customer takes delivery of the kiosk and all the risks and rewards of ownership are passed to the customer.
The Company does not enter into any leasing of kiosks arrangements with customers and the Company does not generate any revenues from merchants who access its terminals as yet.
3 | GOING CONCERN |
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has incurred a loss since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $17,518,803 as of June 30, 2018 and has not generated sufficient revenue to cover its operating expenditure, raising substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of the financial statements. In addition to operational expenses, as the Company executes its business plan, additional capital resources will be required. The Company will need to raise capital in the near term in order to continue operating and executing its business plan. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company generating profitable operations in the future and/or obtaining the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. The Company’s plan is to expand its market penetration by deploying more kiosks through various channels, thereby increasing revenues. In addition, the Company intends to raise additional equity or loan funds to meet its short term working capital needs. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by our audited annual financial statements and the related notes thereto, each of which appear on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 17, 2018. This discussion contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, as described under the heading “Forward-Looking Statements” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. The Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations below is based upon only the financial performance of Qpagos.
Overview and Financial Condition
We are a provider of next generation physical and virtual payment services that we introduced to the Mexican market in the third quarter of 2014. We have a ten-year renewable exclusive license agreement for the use of technology that can be used to perform services that are similar to services that have been successfully deployed with this technology in several European, Asian, North and South American countries.
We provide an integrated network of kiosks, terminals and payment channels that enable consumers to deposit cash, convert it into a digital form and remit the funds to any merchant in our network quickly and securely. We help consumers and merchants connect more efficiently in markets and consumer segments, such as Mexico, that are largely cash-based and lack convenient alternatives for consumers to pay for goods and services in physical, online and mobile environments. For example, we license technology that can be used to pay bills, add minutes to mobile phones, purchase transportation tickets, shop online, buy digital services or send money to third parties.
Our current focus is on Mexico which remains a cash-dominated society for retail consumer payments with approximately 80% of the value of personal payments exchanged in cash (Bank of Mexico). The penetration of electronic payment services, such as credit and debit cards and point of sale terminals, significantly lags behind more developed economies. We believe that opportunities for our services in Mexico are vast. With over 109 million mobile subscribers in Mexico, 85% of which are under prepaid plans, mobile top-up alone, was a $13 billion business in 2017 as reported by the Competitive Intelligence Unit (the “CIU”). We believe that there is opportunity for growth in the Mexican market and we have expanded to service providers beyond the mobile telephone operators to service provides of electricity, transportation, utilities, municipal services and taxes, consumer credit installments, insurance premiums, and many more.
Our primary strategy in Mexico to date has been the attraction of service providers as well as the deployment of kiosks through Redpag Electrónicos, our kiosk management subsidiary. During the six months ended June 30, 2018 we generated net revenues of $3,166,551 as compared to $1,944,468 for the six months ended June 30, 2017, an increase of $1,222,083 or 62.8%. For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, we generated net revenues of $3,941,273 and $2,691,896, respectively, from our operations in Mexico, a 46.4% increase. Our primary source of revenue are fees we receive for processing payments made by consumers to service providers. We also generate revenue from non-payment services such as kiosk sales. Qpagos Corporation currently has in excess of 140 service providers integrated into its payment gateway, which includes all mobile phone providers in Mexico as well as most utility companies, financial services, entertainment venues, the national lottery’s Pronosticos and others. As of June 30, 2018, Qpagos Corporation deployed over 239 kiosks and terminals and we service an additional 440 kiosks of independent distributors. Our kiosks and terminals can be found at convenience stores, next to metro stations, retail stores, airport terminals, education centers, and malls in major urban centers, as well as many small and rural towns.

Management Discussion and Analysis of financial condition
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2018 and 2017, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of any contingent liabilities at the financial statement date and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, we review our estimates and assumptions. The estimates are based on our historical experience and other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results are likely to differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017
Net revenue
Net revenues in our Mexican operations were $1,701,763 and $1,017,158 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, an increase of $684,605 or 67.3%. Our primary revenue generating operations are based in Mexico and our functional currency is the Mexican Peso. Our revenue in Mexican Pesos increased to MXN33,064,715 from MXN 18,874,012 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, an increase of MXN 14,190,703 or 75.2%. The increase in revenue in MXN terms is primarily due to an increase in the amount of prepaid airtime sold of MXN 13,970,648 and an increase in kiosk sales of MXN 216,000, no kiosks were sold during the prior period. The average US$ exchange rate has strengthened against the MXN over the prior comparable period, from $18.5556 to $19.4297 or 4.5%, which results in a lower revenue growth in US $ terms of $80,163.
Cost of goods sold
Cost of goods sold in our Mexican operations were $1,597,393 and $1,004,901 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, an increase of $592,492 or 59.0%. Our cost of sales from our Mexican operations, in Mexican Pesos increased to MXN 31,036,853 from MXN 18,646,580 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, an increase of MXN 12,390,273 or 66.5%. The increase in cost of sales in MXN terms is primarily due to the increase in the amount of prepaid airtime sold. Cost of goods consists primarily of services acquired from third parties, such as prepaid air time and the cost of the kiosks and any retrofitted components. Also included in cost of goods sold is depreciation related to kiosks that are used in the production of income. Depreciation expense was $9,259 and $9,354, for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, a decrease of $95. The average US $ exchange rate has strengthened against the MXN over the prior period, from $18.5556 to $19.4297 or 4.5%, which results in a lower cost of sales in US $ terms of $75,248.
Gross profit
Gross profit in our Mexican operations was $104,370 and $12,257 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, an increase of $92,113 or 751.5%. The components of gross (loss) profit include the following:
● | Gross profit on sales of services was $102,534 and $11,254, for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, an increase of $91,280 or 811.1%. The increase in gross profit was due to the increased volume in sales at minimal incremental operating costs. | |
● | Gross profit on kiosk sales was $9,074 and $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, an increase of $9,074. No kiosks were sold during the prior period. | |
● | Commissions earned on services was $16,450 and $10,357 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, an increase of $6,093 or 58.8% due to an increase in volume of commission generating sales. | |
● | Other gross profit includes other cost of sales expense of $18,417 and $10,825 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, an increase of $7,592 or 70.1%. The cost of sales expense consists primarily of repairs and maintenance expenditure on kiosks and is dependent on the amount of activity during the quarter, trends in this expense are not easily identifiable as the majority of the repair work in on a needs only basis. | |
● | Included in gross profit is depreciation related to those kiosks that are used in the production of income. Depreciation expense was $9,259 and $9,354 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, a decrease of $95 or 1.0%. |
2
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses were $584,364 and $489,879 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, an increase of $94,485 or 19.3%. We incur operating expenditure both in Mexico and in the US, where we maintain a corporate office and incur certain expenditure on consultants, licensing and public reporting activities.
i. | The general and administrative expenditure in Mexico decreased to MXN 3,304,299 ($170,064) from MXN 3,472,451 ($187,137) for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, a decrease of MXN 168,152 ($17,073) or 4.8%. The decrease is primarily due to lower salary costs and a concerted effort to reduce administrative costs. |
ii. | The general administrative expenses incurred in the US, during the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was $414,300 and $302,742, respectively, an increase of $111,558 or 36.8%, primarily due to stock-based compensation expense for shares issued to a director of $49,200 and a commitment fee of $34,739 for shares issued to a convertible note holder. |
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense was $12,347 and $21,681 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, a decrease of $9,334 or 43.1%. The decrease is primarily due to a lower depreciation charge in our Mexican operations as the bulk of the depreciation charge is allocated to cost of sales.
Other expense
Other expense was $981,356 and $7,683 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Other expense during the current period includes a loss realized on the conversion of convertible notes into equity at conversion prices ranging from 38% to 40% below current market prices. During the current period, $641,096 of convertible notes were converted to equity.
Interest expense, net
Interest expense was $565,717 and $330,107 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, an increase of $235,610 or 71.4%. The increase consists primarily of the amortization of debt discount on convertible notes of $478,874 and $297,736 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, an increase of $181,138 due to the increase in funding through convertible notes during the past year and interest expense of $86,843 (including penalty interest of $21,139) and $13,411 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, an increase of $73,432 primarily due to the larger aggregate loan balance over the prior period.
Derivative liability movements
Derivative liability movements were $(259,419) and $366,242 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The derivative liability arose due to the issuance of convertible securities with variable conversion prices and no floor conversion price. The charge during the current period represents the mark-to-market of the derivative liability outstanding as of June 30, 2018, the increase in the charge during the current period is primarily due to an increase in the period end share price of the Company.
Foreign currency gain
The foreign currency loss was $163,293 and a gain of $97,475 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, an increase in loss of $260,768. The decrease is primarily due to the mark to market of foreign currency assets and liabilities due to the weakness in the Mexican Peso during the current period.
Net loss
We incurred a net loss of $2,462,126 and $373,376, for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, an increase of $2,088,750 or 559.4%, primarily due to the increase in loss realized on debt conversions, the increase in mark- to-market losses on the derivative liabilities and the increase in the amortization of debt discount and interest expense on convertible promissory notes and other loans, during the current period, as discussed above.

The increase in cost of sales in MXN terms is primarily due to the increase in the amount of prepaid airtime sold.

Also included in cost of goods sold is depreciation related to kiosks that are used in the production of income.

● | Gross profit on kiosk sales was $4,989 and $58,818 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, a decrease of $53,829 due to the decrease in the number of kiosks sold over the prior period. | |

The decrease is primarily due to a lower depreciation charge in our Mexican operations as the bulk of the depreciation charge is allocated to cost of sales.
Other expense
Other expense was $3,459,955 and $7,583 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Other expense during the current period includes a loss realized on the conversion of convertible notes into equity at conversion prices ranging from 38% to 40% below current market prices. During the current period, $2,191,935 of convertible notes were converted to equity.
Interest expense, net
Interest expense was $1,811,504 and $471,707 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, an increase of $1,339,797 or 284.0%. The increase consists primarily of the amortization of debt discount on convertible notes of $1,622,457 and $411,298 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, an increase of $1,211,159 due to the increase in funding through convertible notes during the past year and interest expense of $189,047 (including penalty interest of $21,139) and $49,005 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, an increase of $140,042 primarily due to high interest bearing equipment loans and several high interest bearing loans and convertible loans outstanding during the current period.
Derivative liability movements
Derivative liability movements were $2,271,913 and $118,472 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The derivative liability arose due to the issuance of convertible securities with variable conversion prices and no floor conversion price. The charge during the current period represents the mark-to-market of the derivative liability outstanding as of June 30, 2018, the release of derivative liability during the current period is primarily due to the conversion of $2,191,935 of convertible debt to equity.
Foreign currency gain
The foreign currency loss was $(10,362) and a gain of $331,327 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, a decrease of $341,689. The decrease is primarily due to the mark to market of foreign currency assets and liabilities due to the weakness in the Mexican Peso during the current period.
Net loss
We incurred a net loss of $4,130,612 and $929,314, for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, an increase of $3,201,298 or 344.5%, primarily due to the increase in loss realized on debt conversions, offset by the decrease in mark- to-market movements on the derivative liabilities and the increase in the amortization of debt discount and interest expense on convertible promissory notes and other loans, during the current period, as discussed above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
To date, our primary sources of cash have been funds raised primarily from the sale of our debt securities as well as revenue derived from operations.
We incurred an accumulated deficit of $17,518,803 through June 30, 2018 and incurred negative cash flow from operations of $947,383 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. We have spent, and need to continue to spend, substantial amounts in connection with implementing our business strategy, including our planned product development effort and will be required to raise additional funding.
We will need to generate additional revenue from operations and/or obtain additional financing to pursue our business strategy, repay our outstanding note obligations, which, as of June 30, 2018 totaled $2,022,064 in principal amount and accrued interest thereon, and take advantage of business opportunities that may arise. To meet our financing needs, we are considering multiple alternatives, including, but not limited to, additional equity financings and, debt financings and/or funding from partnerships. To date, we do not have any commitments for additional funding. There can be no assurance that we will be able to complete any such transactions on acceptable terms or otherwise and may have to significantly curtail our operations.
At June 30, 2018, we had cash of $99,997 and a negative working capital of $3,045,951, including a derivative liability of $2,169,641, after eliminating the derivative liability our working capital deficit is $876,310. We believe that the current cash balances together with revenue anticipated to be generated from operations will not be sufficient to meet our current working capital needs and as mentioned above, we will seek further funding from either equity issues or further debt funding, should we not be successful, we may have to curtail our operations significantly.
5
We utilized cash of $947,383 and $650,802 in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, an increase of $296,581 or 45.6%. The increase is primarily due to the operating losses generated over the current period.
We had minimal investment in property and equipment of $1,753 and $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
We funded our operations by utilizing our cash balances and raising an additional $1,113,491 through debt issuances, offset by the repayment of $93,000 of convertible debt during the period.
Subsequent to June 30, 2018 we raised an additional net proceeds of $183,000 through convertible debt funding of $189,000 and repaid a convertible note in the aggregate principal amount of $68,000 for gross proceeds of $95,361.
Other than amounts owed under convertible notes, we have minimal commitments which include the office facility lease agreement with a future commitment as of June 30, 2018 of $30,393 for the remainder of 2018 and $40,524 for 2019, subject to exchange rate changes.
We entered into an additional ten-year licensing agreement with the Licensor on May 1, 2015, whereby we are committed to pay an annual license fee in quarterly installments of $5,000 ($20,000 per annum) to the Licensor for an exclusive license for the Mexican market of certain revenue payment services.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) who is also its interim Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s CEO who also serves as its interim CFO concluded that due to a lack of segregation of duties and insufficient controls over review and accounting for certain complex transactions, that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2018 were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, was recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO, who also serves as its interim CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company intends to retain additional individuals to remedy the ineffective controls. We have begun to take actions that we believe will substantially remediate the material weaknesses identified. In response to the identification of our material weaknesses, we are in the process of expanding our finance and accounting staff. However, we cannot assure you that our internal control over financial reporting, as modified, will enable us to identify or avoid material weaknesses in the future.
(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2018 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
