NOTE 2 -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

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 (“GAAP”) 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 June 30, 2022 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022 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, 2021 filed with the SEC on April 15, 2022.

All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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.

Business Combinations

In accordance with ASC 805-10, “Business Combinations”, the Company accounts for all business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. Under this method, assets and liabilities, including any remaining non-controlling interests, are recognized at fair value at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed, and non-controlling interests is recognized as goodwill. Certain adjustments to the assessed fair values of the assets, liabilities, or non-controlling interests made subsequent to the acquisition date, but within the measurement period, which is up to one year, are recorded as adjustments to goodwill. Any adjustments subsequent to the measurement period are recorded in income. Any cost or equity method interest that the Company holds in the acquired company prior to the acquisition is re-measured to fair value at acquisition with a resulting gain or loss recognized in income for the difference between fair value and the existing book value. Results of operations of the acquired entity are included in the Company’s results from the date of the acquisition onward and include amortization expense arising from acquired tangible and intangible assets.

Foreign Currency Translation and Re-measurement

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

The functional currency and reporting currency of the Company, Etelix, QGlobal, Itsbchain, IoT Labs, Global Money One, Whisl, and Smartbiz is the U.S. dollar, while the functional currency of SwissLink is the Swiss Franc (“CHF”).

SwissLink translates their records into the U.S. dollar 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 (loss) 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 and 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. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not record bad debt expense.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock

The Company has adopted ASC 260, ”Earnings per Share” which requires presentation of basic earnings per share on the face of the statements of operations for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic earnings per share computation. In the accompanying financial statements, basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive outstanding shares of common stock during the period to reflect the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through contingent share arrangements, stock options and warrants unless the result would be antidilutive. There were no potentially dilutive shares of common stock outstanding for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

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. 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.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, 8 customers represented 87% of our revenues. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, 5 customers represented 87% of our revenues.

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 is reasonably assured. Management considers persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement to be a written interconnection agreement. The Company’s payment terms vary by clients.

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 consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and does not have an established source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

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 in the industry and continuing its marketing efforts. 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.

The continued growth of our revenue is the result of the development of our business strategy, which includes the strengthening of our commercial and operating activities and new acquisitions.

Cost of Revenues

Our total cost of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased to $22,853,442, compared with $16,083,802 for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Our total cost of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased to $41,788,693, compared with $29,794,043 for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

When looking at the numbers by subsidiary, we have the following breakout for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021:

Subsidiary	Cost of Revenue Six Months Ended June 30, 2022		Cost of Revenue Six Months Ended June 30, 2021
Etelix.com USA, LLC	$	11,626,271	$	7,338,609

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.

Gross Margin

The Consolidated Gross Margin for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was 3.09%, which compared to 1.75% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 represents an increase in our consolidated Gross Margin of 76.57%.

Operating Income

The Company showed negative Operating Income for the three months ended June 30, 2022 of $298,178 compared with a negative result of $1,164,602 for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

The Company showed negative Operating Income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 of $803,616 compared with a negative result of $2,175,343 for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

The decrease of the numbers for the six month period above is primarily due to a reduction in the costs associated with the operation of the public entity (iQSTEL, Inc.) that decreased by $954,665 year over year.

Other Expenses/Other Income

We had other income of $12,721 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared with other income of $42,230 for the same period ended 2021. We had other expenses of $6,572 for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared with other expenses of $825,518 for the same period ended 2021. The decrease in other expenses is mainly due to the reduction in interest expense.

Net Loss

We finished the three months ended June 30, 2022 with a loss of $285,457, as compared to a loss of $1,122,372 during the three months ended June 30, 2021. We finished the six months ended June 30, 2022 with a loss of $810,188, as compared to a loss of $3,000,861 during the six months ended June 30, 2021. When comparing the results year over year, these numbers show a significant improvement, as the fundamentals of the Company are getting stronger quarter after quarter leading to our goal of generating positive net income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2022, we had total current assets of $6,818,441 and current liabilities of $3,607,416, resulting in a positive working capital of $3,211,025. This compares with the working capital of $4,203,509 at December 31, 2021. This decrease in working capital, as discussed in more detail below, is primarily the result of the cash used in the acquisition of subsidiaries.

Our operating activities used $1,435,292 in the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared with $2,093,398 used in operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Investing activities used $1,612,255 for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Uses of funds in investing activities consisted primarily of the acquisition of subsidiaries for $1,564,132 and purchases of property and equipment for $47,223.

Financing activities provided $1,367,982 in the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared with $3,353,854 provided in the six months ended June 30, 2021. Our positive financing cash flow in 2022 was largely the result of the proceeds from the subscription of new common stocks under our Regulation A offering of $1,100,000.

Our current financial condition has improved significantly with a positive working capital and a cash position as of June 30, 2022 that represents 4.69 times the loss recognized during the three-month period then ended. However, we intend to fund operations through increased sales and debt and/or equity financing arrangements, to strengthen our liquidity and capital resources. The Company has received the qualification of an Offering Statement under Regulation A for the sale of up to 80,000,000 common stocks of which are available 12,500,000. This offering has been conducted on a “best efforts” basis, which means that there is no guarantee that any minimum amount will be sold from the available shares. 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 six-month period ended June 30, 2022.

Critical Accounting Polices

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 accounting policies are discussed in detail in the footnotes to our financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the six months ended June 30, 2022; however, we consider our critical accounting policies to be those related to allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of long-lived assets, and income taxes. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. See the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report for a complete discussion of our significant accounting policies.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2022, there were no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

We do not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on our results of operation, financial position, or cash flow.

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 June 30, 2022. 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 six-month period ended June 30, 2022, 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.
