NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION

 

KonaTel Nevada (as defined below) was organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on October 14, 2014, by its founder and then sole shareholder, D. Sean McEwen, to conduct the business of a full-service MVNO (“Mobile Virtual Network Operator”) provider that delivered cellular products and services to individual and business customers in various retail and wholesale markets.

 

KonaTel Inc., formerly known as Dala Petroleum Corp. (the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us” and words of similar import), and also formerly known as “Westcott Products Corporation,” was incorporated as “Light Tech, Inc.” under the laws of the State of Nevada on May 24, 1984. A subsidiary in the name “Westcott Products Corporation” was organized by us under the laws of the State of Delaware on June 24, 1986, for the purpose of changing our name and domicile to the State of Delaware. On June 27, 1986, we merged with the Delaware subsidiary, with the survivor being Westcott Products Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Westcott”). On December 18, 2017, we acquired KonaTel, Inc, a Nevada sub S-Corporation (“KonaTel Nevada”), in a merger with our acquisition subsidiary under which KonaTel Nevada became our wholly-owned subsidiary.

 

On December 31, 2018, we acquired Apeiron Systems, Inc., a Nevada corporation doing business as “Apeiron” (“Apeiron”), which became our wholly-owned subsidiary on December 31, 2018. Apeiron was organized in 2013 and is an international hosted services CPaaS (“Communications Platform as a Service”) provider that designed, built, owns and operates its private core network, supporting a suite of real-time business communications services and Applications Programming Interfaces (“APIs”). As an Internet Telephony Service Provider (“ITSP”), Apeiron holds a Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) numbering authority license. Some of Apeiron’s hosted services include SIP/VoIP services, SMS/MMS processing, BOT integration, NLP (“Natural Language Processing”), ML (“Machine Learning”), number services, including mobile, toll free and DID landline numbers, SMS to Email services, Database Dip services, SD-WAN, voice termination and numerous API driven services including voice, messaging and network management.

 

On January 31, 2019, we acquired IM Telecom, an Oklahoma limited liability company doing business as “Infiniti Mobile” (“Infiniti Mobile”), which became our wholly-owned subsidiary on that date. Infiniti Mobile is an FCC licensed ETC (“Eligible Telecommunications Carrier”) and is one of 22 FCC licensed carriers to hold an FCC approved Lifeline Compliance Plan in the United States. Under the Lifeline program, Infiniti Mobile is currently authorized to provide government subsidized mobile telecommunications services to eligible low-income Americans currently in eight states.

 

NOTE 2 – TRANSACTIONS

 

The following are significant transactions that impact the operations of the Company:

 

Apeiron Acquisition

 

On December 31, 2018, the Company purchased Apeiron, which became a wholly-owned subsidiary. The total purchase price was $2,450,000. The purchase included the issuance of 7,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for all the outstanding common shares of Apeiron common stock. The purchase price was derived and based on the fair market value of the 7,000,000 shares at the December 31, 2018, common stock price of $0.35 per share. The acquisition provides the Company with expansion and diversification within the telecommunications industry. Apeiron brings CPaaS and business networking services to the Company that have significant business in the wireless telecommunications industry. The combination allows the Company to share customers and provide bundled service integrations.

 

Infiniti Mobile Acquisition

 

On January 31, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of Infiniti Mobile. The purchase price was $752,366 and included $100 in cash, advances to Infiniti Mobile for the period from the sales agreement dated February 5, 2018, until January 31, 2019, in the amount of $465,056, USAC over-payment settlement of $168,277 and accounts receivables due to the Company in the amount of $152,764.

The unaudited interim financial statements furnished reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2018.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted 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 and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates in these financial statements include the allowance for doubtful receivables, allowance for inventory obsolescence, the estimated useful lives of property and equipment, software, licenses, and customer lists. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Basis of Consolidation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the Company and three (3) wholly-owned corporate subsidiaries, KonaTel Nevada, Apeiron and Infiniti Mobile. The condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, include the Company and its three (3) wholly-owned corporate subsidiaries, KonaTel Nevada, Apeiron and Infiniti Mobile (February through September). The condensed consolidated balance sheet for year ended December 31, 2018, includes the Company and the wholly-owned corporate subsidiaries, KonaTel Nevada and Apeiron. The condensed consolidated statements of operations, cash flows, and stockholders’ equity (deficit) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018, include the Company and the wholly owned corporate subsidiary, KonaTel Nevada. All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated.

Going Concern

 

As the Company did not generate net income during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019, and 2018, the Company has been dependent upon equity financing to support its operations. The Company incurred losses of $1,077,822 and $1,255,609 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019, and 2018, respectively. The Company has had significant improvement in providing cash from the operations. Net cash provided by operating activities was $32,282 and used in operating activities was ($1,302,189) for the nine-months ended September 30, 2019, and 2018, respectively. The accumulated deficit as of September 30, 2019, is $5,429,895.

 

The Company has ameliorated any substantial doubt issues by generating additional cash flow since the completion of our merger with KonaTel Nevada on December 18, 2017, including: the acquisition of Apeiron and Infiniti Mobile; receiving cash investments through the private placement of shares of our common stock; and revenues from the growth of our Virtual ETC program, all of which has contributed to an improvement in our working capital, without the use of additional lines of credit or borrowings. Additionally, the Company also has two options to finance our mobile phone equipment purchases whereby multiple equipment suppliers provide us short term credit terms of up to 60 days on mobile phone purchases and a bank line of credit for purchases of select mobile phones.

 

Net Loss Per Share

 

Basic loss per common share calculations are determined by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share calculations are determined by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. As of September 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, there are 4,575,000 and 4,325,000 potentially dilutive common shares, respectively. The dilutive common shares are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share, because to do so would be anti-dilutive.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of receivables, cash and cash equivalents.

 

All cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents are held at high credit financial institutions. These deposits are generally insured under the FDIC’s deposit insurance coverage; however, from time to time, the deposit levels may exceed FDIC coverage levels. The Company also has a concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables from customers and cellular providers. As of September 30, 2019, the Company had no significant concentration of receivables (defined as customers whose receivable balances are greater than 10% of total receivables). As of December 31, 2018, the Company had a significant concentration of receivables due from two customers in the amounts of $441,934, or 42.7%.

 

Concentration of Major Customer

 

A significant amount of the revenue is derived from contracts with major customers and cellular providers. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, the Company had one customer that accounted for $1,810,875, or 25.0% and one cellular provider that accounted for $2,028,814, or 28.0%, of the total revenue. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2019, the Company had one customer that accounted for $634,668, or 27.0% and one cellular provider that accounted for $612,092, or 26.1% of the total revenue.

 

Effect of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing transactions. Early application is permitted. The Company has determined that adoption of the standard will begin January 1, 2019. The Company currently has four equipment operating leases and one Property lease; and the Property lease expires in April 2020. The Company has determined that this pronouncement will not have a material impact on the financial statements (see NOTE 5).

 

The Company has evaluated all other recent accounting pronouncements and believes that none will have a significant effect on the Company’s financial statement.

Emerging Growth Company

NOTE 10 – CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS

 

Litigation

 

From time to time, the Company may be subject to legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of business. As of September 30, 2019, there are no legal proceedings, except the following:

 

On August 28, 2018, we filed a claim in AAA Arbitration against a former employee, Saul Glosser. In August 2019, the Company won an arbitration award (ratified by the court) from Mr. Glosser in the amount of $362,871 ($357,914 plus arbitrator compensation of

 

13 

 

 

$4,957). The award has been deemed final as Mr. Glosser has not preserved any outstanding issues for review. At this time collectability is yet to be determined, and therefore the award is not currently reflected in the balance sheet.

 

Contract Contingency

 

The Company has the normal obligation for the completion of its cellular provider contracts in accordance with the appropriate standards of the industry and that may be provided in the contractual agreements.

 

Letters of Credit

 

The Company maintains irrevocable standby letter of credit arrangements with certain cellular carriers in the aggregate amount of $63,000. The letters of credit serve as collateral and security for various resale contracts the Company has with their suppliers. The letters of credit are unused as of September 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018. The letters of credit are not considered in the financial statements.

 

Regulatory Determinations

 

On May 17, 2019, Infiniti Mobile was notified by the United States Administrative Company (“USAC”) of an over-payment of Universal Service Fund reimbursements in the amount of $168,677. On July 25, 2019, the Company entered into a Letter of Acknowledgement with the FCC and requested a 24-month payment plan regarding the repayment of the over-payment amounts. The FCC decision regarding the payment plan request is pending and is expected before December 31, 2019. As required by the Letter of Acknowledgement requirements, Infiniti Mobile has made a good faith down payment in the amount of 10% of the total over-payment and continues to make regular monthly payments of 1/24th of the outstanding balance pending payment plan approval. The over-payment amount was recorded as a current acquisition expense.

 

The Company entered into a Settlement Agreement with the former owner of Infiniti Mobile regarding this matter, effective September 4, 2019, which was the date of delivery of the fully executed Settlement Agreement that was dated August 22, 2019, and filed with the SEC on September 4, 2019. Under the Settlement Agreement, and as part of the previous owner’s obligations to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any liability arising from the breach of any representations and warranties in the initial Purchase and Sale Agreement dated February 5, 2019 (the “PSMI”), and filed with the SEC on February 6, 2019, which included this liability, the vested $0.20 per share 500,000 share incentive stock option grant that was awarded to the previous owner at the closing of the PSMI was cancelled and deemed null and void, and the previous owner was released from any liability for the $168,677 over-payment. All of the other terms and conditions of the PSMI remain in full force and effect, including the continuing indemnification provisions regarding all other representations and warranties.

 

NOTE 11 – SEGMENT REPORTING

 

The Company operates within four reportable segments. The Company’s management evaluates performance and allocates resources based on the profit or loss from operations. Because the Company is a service business with very few physical assets, management does not use total assets by segment to make decisions regarding operations, and therefore, the total assets disclosure by segment has not been included.

 

The reportable segments consist of Hosted Services, Mobile Services, Lifeline ETC (“Eligible Communications Carrier”), and Lifeline VETC (“Virtual Eligible Communications Carrier”).

 

Hosted Services – This segment includes a suite of hosted CPaaS (“Communications Platform as a Service”) services including SIP/VoIP services, SMS/MMS, BOT integration, NLP (“Natural Language Processing”), ML (“Machine Learning”), mobile numbers, toll free numbers, DID landline numbers, SMS to Email, Database Dip, SD-WAN, voice termination and numerous API driven services.  Apeiron developed, owns and supports its services through its dedicated national telecommunications network. Apeiron provides telecommunications services to application developers, call centers and small and medium size businesses. Apeiron markets these services through the Apeiron website, independent sales agents, ISOs (Independent Sales Organizations) and Social Media Optimization (“SCO”).

 

Mobile Services – This segment includes retail and wholesale cellular voice/text/data services and mobile data (IoT or “Internet of Things”) services. KonaTel consolidated its wholesale and retail services with Apeiron’s hosted CPaaS services, providing Apeiron with an expanded portfolio of mobile services to bundle with its existing services. Apeiron’s mobile voice/text/data and mobile data

 

14 

 

 

services are supported by a blend of reseller agreements with select national wireless carriers and national wireless wholesalers.  A wireless communications service reseller does not own the wireless network infrastructure over which services are provided to its customers.  Apeiron’s mobile voice/text/data and mobile data solutions are generally sold as traditional post-paid service plans that may include voice/text/data or wireless data only plans. Sometimes equipment is provided which can include, but is not limited to, phones, tablets, modems, routers and accessories. Apeiron primarily markets its mobile services through independent sales agents and ISOs via the “Apeiron” brand.  These agents and ISOs generally market to small and medium sized businesses throughout the United States.  This type of marketing is also considered B2B (“Business to Business”) sales.

 

Lifeline ETC – This segment operates under its own FCC approved Compliance Plan and FCC wireless ETC designation in eight states which currently include Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, Nevada, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Vermont and Wisconsin.  IM Telecom, operating under its Infiniti Mobile brand, currently markets its Lifeline service through its Internet presence, its storefront in Tulsa, Oklahoma and through ISOs that specialize in the distribution of Lifeline services.  These ISOs typically support teams of field agents who market directly to Lifeline eligible individuals requesting Lifeline service.  We provide phones and wireless voice/text/data service to Lifeline eligible individuals requesting Lifeline service. In some states and depending on government requirements, we may only provide voice/text service with no mobile data.

 

Lifeline VETC – This segment operates under the license of another ETC.  We currently market our Lifeline VETC sales through ISOs that specialize in the distribution of Lifeline services.  These ISOs typically support teams of field agents who market directly to Lifeline eligible individuals requesting Lifeline service. We provide phones and wireless voice/text/data service to Lifeline eligible individuals requesting Lifeline service. In some states and depending upon government requirements, we may only provide voice/text service with no mobile data.

NOTE 13 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date of this filing and no material subsequent events have occurred.

 

Effective October 15, 2019 (though executed October 17, 2019), the Company and Charles L. Schneider, Jr., the CEO of our wholly-owned subsidiary, KonaTel Nevada, and the President and CEO of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Infiniti Mobile, executed and delivered a Severance Agreement and Release (the “Severance Agreement”). In connection with the execution and delivery of the Severance Agreement, the parties also executed and delivered the following additional agreements: (i) various assignments to Mr. Schneider regarding the Company’s reseller agreement with Standup Wireless; (ii) an Amended Incentive Stock Option Agreement; and (iii) an Independent Contractor Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the Severance Agreement, Mr. Schneider’s Employment Agreement with the Company dated July 1, 2016, was terminated. The Company agreed to pay his salary (16,667 per month) and benefits through December 31, 2019; allowed him to retain his laptop, monitors, keyboard/mouse and printer; and assigned him certain Company contract rights as a reseller of Lifeline services for StandUp Wireless, another Lifeline provider, which he agreed to assume. The Company had determined that it was no longer interested in acting as a distributor of Lifeline services for StandUp Wireless and intended to focus its efforts on distributing Lifeline service under its own FCC Lifeline license. Additionally, the parties agreed that 500,000 of the 1,500,000 incentive stock options held by Mr. Schneider had vested; that the remaining 1,000,000 incentive stock options that he had been granted were void; and the Amended Incentive Stock Option Agreement was revised to include a customary “cashless” exercise feature for the 500,000 vested options. A Lock-Up/Leak-Out Agreement (the “LULO Agreement”) was also executed and delivered by the Company and Mr. Schneider, which provides for a Lock-Up Period of six (6) months from the exercise of the option to purchase any shares underlying the vested options; and an eighteen (18) month Leak-Out Period thereafter by which he

 

16 

 

 

is limited to the resale of shares of common stock acquired in any such exercise (including shares currently owned or hereafter acquired) to the greater of (i) (5%) of the total shares of the Company publicly traded on any nationally recognized medium of a stature no less than the Pink OTC Markets, Inc. (the “OTC Pink Tier”) of the OTC Markets Group, Inc. (the “OTC Markets”) over the previous ten (10) trading days, or (ii) one percent (1%) of the total outstanding shares of the Company as reported in the Company’s most recently filed SEC report or registration statement in the Edgar Archives of the SEC, divided by thirteen (13) weeks.

 

Pursuant to the Independent Contractor Agreement (the “ICA”) entered into with the Company, Mr. Schneider has agreed to assist the Company in having its wholly-owned subsidiary, Infiniti Mobile, being granted its request for Eligible Telecommunications Carrier (“ETC”) status from the California Public Utilities Commission (“CPUC”) to distribute Lifeline cellular phone service within the State of California. In the event that the Company is successful in this process, Mr. Schneider will be granted a one (1) year Warrant with a customary “cashless” exercise feature to purchase 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price to be determined on the date of any such approval. The ICA has a term of one (1) year and may be extended by the parties yearly. The LULO Agreement is applicable to any shares that may be acquired under any such Warrant, with the eighteen (18) month term commencing on the exercise of any such Warrant that may be issued. Mr. Schneider has more than thirty (30) year experience in the telecommunications industry should be invaluable to the Company in this process.

 

These agreements also contained customary representations and warranties, confidentiality provisions and non-disparagement provisions, as may have been applicable, among other customary terms and conditions

 

The Company also granted the Vice President of Operations of Infiniti Mobile and the Vice President of Finance stock options under its Form of Incentive Stock Option Agreement and incentive stock option plan, 300,000 options to each at an exercise price of $0.15 per share, which is the current public market price for the common stock of the Company on the OTC Pink Tier, with 100,000 shares each vesting on December 31, 2019, and with the remainder vesting at the rate of 100,000 shares each on December 31, 2020, and 2021.

Our Mobile Services include our retail and wholesale cellular voice/text/data services and mobile data (IoT or “Internet of Things”) services. We consolidated our wholesale and retail mobile services with Apeiron’s hosted CPaaS services, providing Apeiron with a bundled portfolio of mobile and hosted CPaaS services. Apeiron’s mobile voice/text/data and mobile data services are supported by a blend of reseller agreements with select national wireless carriers and national wireless wholesalers.  A wireless communications service reseller does not own the wireless network infrastructure over which services are provided to its customers.  Apeiron’s mobile voice/text/data and mobile data solutions are generally sold as traditional post-paid service plans that may include voice/text/data or wireless data only plans. Sometimes equipment is provided which can include, but is not limited to, phones, tablets, modems, routers and accessories. Apeiron primarily markets its mobile services through independent sales agents and ISOs via the “Apeiron” brand. These agents and ISOs generally market to small and medium sized businesses throughout the United States.  This type of marketing is also considered B2B (“Business to Business”) sales.

 

Our Lifeline ETC services operate under its own FCC approved Compliance Plan and FCC wireless ETC designation in eight states which currently include Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, Nevada, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Vermont and Wisconsin.  IM Telecom, operating under its Infiniti Mobile brand, currently markets its Lifeline service through its internet presence, its storefront in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and through ISOs that specialize in the distribution of Lifeline services.  These ISOs typically support teams of field agents who market directly to Lifeline eligible individuals requesting Lifeline service.  We provide phones and wireless voice/text/data service to Lifeline eligible individuals requesting Lifeline service. In some states and depending on government requirements, we may only provide voice/text service with no mobile data.

 

Our Lifeline VETC operates under the license of another ETC.  We currently market our Lifeline VETC sales through ISOs that specialize in the distribution of Lifeline services.  These ISOs typically support teams of field agents who market directly to Lifeline eligible individuals requesting Lifeline service. We provide phones and wireless voice/text/data service to Lifeline eligible individuals requesting Lifeline service. In some states and depending upon government requirements, we may only provide voice/text service with no mobile data.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of September 30, 2019, we have $139,637 in cash and cash equivalents on hand.

 

In comparing liquidity between the three-month periods ending September 30, 2019, and September 30, 2018, cash and short-term assets decreased by 32.5%. Accounts receivable decrease accounted for the overall decrease. Liabilities and total overall debt showed a 0.6% increase in the three-month period ending September 30, 2019, when compared to September 30, 2018. Going forward, equity investment and growth of new services is expected to provide the liquidity for our business.

 

19 

 

 

Overall, the current ratio (current assets divided by our current liabilities) decreased to .46 as of September 30, 2019, compared to .70 as of December 31, 2018. Working capital decreased by 98.9%. The decreases were created due decreases in accounts receivable and to a short-term borrowing from a stockholder.

 

Cash Flow from Operations

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, cash flow provided by operating activities was $32,282, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, cash flow used in operating activities was ($1,302,189). Cash flows used in operating activities were primarily attributable to the Company’s net loss of $1,255,609 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

 

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, and the nine months ended September 30, 2018, cash flow provided by investing activities was $58,603 and $226,043, respectively. The cash flow from investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, were from the asset purchase of Infiniti Mobile and payment from a note receivable created in the sale of a business component. The cash flow from investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, was derived from the sale of a business component.

 

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, and the nine months ended September 30, 2018, cash flow provided by (used in) financing activities was ($7,758) and $1,036,672, respectively. The funds provided by financing were comprised of $67,696 for repayment of revolving lines of credit, $53,254 principal payments on lease liabilities, $200,000 in advances from stockholder and $86,808 in repayments due to a stockholder for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The funds provided by financing were comprised of proceeds from issuance of common stock, $1,150,000, $100,000 in advances made by stockholder and repayments to a stockholder of $213,328 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

 

Going Concern

 

As the Company did not generate net income during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019, and 2018, the Company has been dependent upon equity financing to support its operations. The Company incurred losses of $1,128,616 and $1,255,609 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019, and 2018, respectively. The Company has had significant improvement in providing cash from the operations. Net cash provided by operating activities was $32,282 and used in operating activities was ($1,293,856) for the nine-months ended September 30, 2019, and 2018, respectively. The accumulated deficit as of September 30, 2019, is $5,429,895.

 

The Company has ameliorated any substantial doubt issues by generating additional cash flow since the completion of our merger with KonaTel Nevada on December 18, 2017, including: the acquisition of Apeiron and Infiniti Mobile; receiving cash investments through the private placement of shares of our common stock; and cost reductions in Apeiron and VETC, all of which has contributed to an improvement in our working capital, without the use of additional lines of credit or borrowings. Additionally, the Company also has two options to finance our mobile phone equipment purchases whereby multiple equipment suppliers provide us short term credit terms of up to 60 days on mobile phone purchases and a bank line of credit for purchases of select mobile phones.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We had no Off-Balance Sheet arrangements during the period ended September 30, 2019.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Net Loss Per Share

 

Basic loss per common share calculations are determined by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share calculations are determined by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. As of September 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, there are 2,925,250 and 4,325,000 potentially dilutive common shares, respectively. The dilutive common shares are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share, because to do so would be anti-dilutive.

 

20 

 

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of receivables, cash, and cash equivalents.

 

All cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents are held at high credit financial institutions. These deposits are generally insured under the FDIC’s deposit insurance coverage; however, from time to time, the deposit levels may exceed FDIC coverage levels. The Company also has a concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables from customers and cellular providers. As of September 30, 2019, the Company had no significant concentration of receivables (defined as customers whose receivable balances are greater than 10% of total receivables). As of December 31, 2018, the Company had a significant concentration of receivables due from two customers in the amounts of $441,934, or 42.7%.

 

Concentration of Major Customer

 

A significant amount of the revenue is derived from contracts with major customers and cellular providers. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, the Company had one customer that accounted for $1,810,875, or 25.0% and one cellular provider that accounted for $2,028,814, or 28.0%, of the total revenue. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2019, the Company had one customer that accounted for $634,668, or 27.0% and one cellular provider that accounted for $612,092, or 26.1% of the total revenue.

 

Effect of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing transactions. Early application is permitted. The Company has determined that adoption of the standard will begin January 1, 2019. The Company currently has four equipment operating leases and one Property lease; and the Property lease expires in April 2020. The Company has determined that this pronouncement will not have a material impact on the financial statements.

 

The Company has evaluated all other recent accounting pronouncements and believes that none will have a significant effect on the Company’s financial statement.

 

Emerging Growth Company

 

The Company is an emerging growth company and has elected not to use the extended transition period for complying with any new or revised financial accounting standards provided pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act.

Management’s Quarterly Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act that are designed to ensure that material information relating to us is made known to the officers who certify our financial reports and to other members of senior management and the Board of Directors. These disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports that are filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

21 

 

 

Management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness, as of September 30, 2019, of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were adequate as of September 30, 2019. During this period, we achieved effective controls for ensuring the accuracy of reporting over significant account balances, including the review, approval, documentation of related transactions, and other complex accounting procedures. These control improvements were achieved through the implementation of a Vice President of Finance function and additional segregation of duties and responsibilities as well as multi-level review procedures to validate accounts and financial results. The Company also currently has two independent directors.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2019, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 5. Other Information

 

(1)       Effective October 15, 2019 (though executed October 17, 2019), the Company and Charles L. Schneider, Jr., the CEO of our wholly-owned subsidiary, KonaTel Nevada, and the President and CEO of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Infiniti Mobile, executed and delivered a Severance Agreement and Release (the “Severance Agreement”). In connection with the execution and delivery of the Severance Agreement, the parties also executed and delivered the following additional agreements: (i) various assignments to Mr. Schneider regarding the Company’s reseller agreement with Standup Wireless; (ii) an Amended Incentive Stock Option Agreement; and (iii) an Independent Contractor Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the Severance Agreement, Mr. Schneider’s Employment Agreement with the Company dated July 1, 2016, was terminated. The Company agreed to pay his salary (16,667 per month) and benefits through December 31, 2019; allowed him to retain his laptop, monitors, keyboard/mouse and printer; and assigned him certain Company contract rights as a reseller of Lifeline services for StandUp Wireless, another Lifeline provider, which he agreed to assume. The Company had determined that it was no longer interested in acting as a distributor of Lifeline services for StandUp Wireless and intended to

 

22 

 

 

focus its efforts on distributing Lifeline service under its own FCC Lifeline license. Additionally, the parties agreed that 500,000 of the 1,500,000 incentive stock options held by Mr. Schneider had vested; that the remaining 1,000,000 incentive stock options that he had been granted were void; and the Amended Incentive Stock Option Agreement was revised to include a customary “cashless” exercise feature for the 500,000 vested options. A Lock-Up/Leak-Out Agreement (the “LULO Agreement”) was also executed and delivered by the Company and Mr. Schneider, which provides for a Lock-Up Period of six (6) months from the exercise of the option to purchase any shares underlying the vested options; and an eighteen (18) month Leak-Out Period thereafter by which he is limited to the resale of shares of common stock acquired in any such exercise (including shares currently owned or hereafter acquired) to the greater of (i) (5%) of the total shares of the Company publicly traded on any nationally recognized medium of a stature no less than the Pink OTC Markets, Inc. (the “OTC Pink Tier”) of the OTC Markets Group, Inc. (the “OTC Markets”) over the previous ten (10) trading days, or (ii) one percent (1%) of the total outstanding shares of the Company as reported in the Company’s most recently filed SEC report or registration statement in the Edgar Archives of the SEC, divided by thirteen (13) weeks.

 

Pursuant to the Independent Contractor Agreement (the “ICA”) entered into with the Company, Mr. Schneider has agreed to assist the Company in having its wholly-owned subsidiary, Infiniti Mobile, being granted its request for Eligible Telecommunications Carrier (“ETC”) status from the California Public Utilities Commission (“CPUC”) to distribute Lifeline cellular phone service within the State of California. In the event that the Company is successful in this process, Mr. Schneider will be granted a one (1) year Warrant with a customary “cashless” exercise feature to purchase 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price to be determined on the date of any such approval. The ICA has a term of one (1) year and may be extended by the parties yearly. The LULO Agreement is applicable to any shares that may be acquired under any such Warrant, with the eighteen (18) month term commencing on the exercise of any such Warrant that may be issued. Mr. Schneider has more than thirty (30) year experience in the telecommunications industry should be invaluable to the Company in this process.

 

These agreements also contained customary representations and warranties, confidentiality provisions and non-disparagement provisions, as may have been applicable, among other customary terms and conditions

 

(2)       Effective October 24, 2019, the Company granted the Vice President of Operations of Infiniti Mobile and the Vice President of Finance stock options under its Form of Incentive Stock Option Agreement and incentive stock option plan, 300,000 options to each at an exercise price of $0.15 per share, which is the current public market price for the common stock of the Company on the OTC Pink Tier, with 100,000 shares each vesting on December 31, 2019, and with the remainder vesting at the rate of 100,000 shares each on December 31, 2020, and 2021.
