Skkynet operates its business through its wholly-owned subsidiaries Cogent Real-Time Systems, Inc. (“Cogent”), Skkynet Corp. (Canada), Skkynet, Inc. (USA) and Skkynet Japan 株式会社 (Ltd.) (Japan). Skkynet was formed primarily for the purpose of taking the existing business lines of Cogent and its current and future customers and integrating these businesses with Cloud based systems. We also intend to expand the areas of business activity to which the kinds of products and services we provide are applied.

On November 1, 2014, the Company acquired Skkynet Japan Ltd. (formerly NiC Corporation) as a wholly owned subsidiary. On February 1, 2015, the Company formed a wholly owned US subsidiary Skkynet, Inc., and a wholly owned Canadian subsidiary Skkynet Corp.

On July 30, 2015, the Company designated 500,000 shares of the preferred stock as Series B Convertible preferred. The Series B shares have a par value of $0.001 and issue value of $1.00 per share. The series B is convertible by the holder into common stock at $1.35 per share. The Company may, any time at its option, redeem the Series B shares at their stated value. The Series B preferred shares hold a 6% per annum cumulative dividend. On July 30, 2015, the Company issued 193,661 shares of Series B convertible preferred stock to three related parties in exchange for the outstanding notes payable and accrued interest of $193,661. Dividends are not paid. The Company has accounted for $5,810 in Series B dividends which increases the loss to common shareholders from $431,156 to $436,966 for the six month period ended April 30, 2018. As of April 30, 2018, the aggregate arrearages in cumulative preferred dividends was approximately $31,955 equating to $0.165 per share.

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s October 31, 2017 Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year end October 31, 2017 as reported on Form 10-K, have been omitted.

The modification extended the options for 10 years, reduced the conversion price per option from $1.20 to $0.40 per share and increased the fair value of the options by $3,720 to be amortized over the term of the option with no changes to the vesting of the options.

On January 31, 2018 and April 30, 2018, the Officers and directors of the Company elected to forgo their accrued compensation for the six months ended April 30, 2018 in exchange for shares of common stock and options.

OVERVIEW

Skkynet is a Nevada corporation headquartered in Mississauga, Canada. Skkynet operates three different lines of business through its wholly-owned subsidiaries Cogent Real-Time Systems, Inc. (“Cogent”), Skkynet, Inc. (“Skkynet (USA)”), Skkynet Corp. (“Skkynet (Canada)”), and Skkynet Japan 株式会社 (Ltd.) (“Skkynet Japan”).

The Company provides software and related systems and facilities to collect process and distribute real-time information over a network.

Revenue increased for the six month period ending April 30, 2018 over same period ended April 30, 2017 by 4.6%. The increase in revenue for the six month period ended April 30, 2018 is attributed higher sales by the Cogent and Skkynet Japan divisions.

General and administrative expense was $538,923 and $1,060,566 for the three and six month periods ended April 30, 2018 compared to $536,665 and $1,050,518 for the same periods in 2017. The increase in general and administrative expenses for the three and six month periods ended April 30, 2018, was a result of higher options expense along with lower payroll in 2018 over 2017.

For the three and six month periods ending April 30, 2018, the Company posted operating loss of $241,759 and $391,736 compared to operating loss of $175,636 and $414,861 for the same periods in 2017. The increase in operating loss during the three months is attributable to lower sales in 2018 over 2017 and the decrease during the six month periods is attributable to higher sales in of 2018 over 2017 and decreased expenses in consulting, salaries, and office expenses.

Other expense for the three and six month periods ending April 30, 2018, were $18,960 and $39,420 compared to other income of $11,589 and $7,084 for the same periods in 2017. The losses in 2018 were to a loss on settlement of a liability of $39,193 that was not incurred in the same period in 2017.

The higher losses for the three months period in 2018 can be attributed to increased general and administrative expenses and lower sales plus a loss on settlement of liabilities of $39,193 in 2018 compared to 2017, while the higher loss for the six months period was attributed to slightly higher general and administrative costs and a loss on settlement of liabilities of $39,193 in 2018 over 2017.

ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, Skkynet is not required to provide information required under this Item.

ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

This report includes the certifications of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer required by Rule 13a-14 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). See Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2. This Item 4 includes information concerning the controls and control evaluations referred to in those certifications.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

In connection with the preparation of this report, our management, under the supervision and with participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer (the “Certifying Officers”) conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of April 30, 2018. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that there is a material weakness in our disclosure controls and procedures over financial reporting. The material weakness results from a lack of written procedures which effectively documents the proper procedures and descriptions of the duties of all persons involved in the disclosure controls of the Company. The Company hopes to implement plans to document the procedures and internal controls of the Company. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, in disclosure control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. This does not include an evaluation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during our most recent quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Our management believes that the Unaudited Financial Statements included herein present, in all material respects, the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise, in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.
