NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited – prepared by management)
June 30, 2016
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)
NOTE 1. | NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS |
VOIP PAL.com, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Nevada in September 1997 as All American Casting International, Inc. The Company’s registered office is located at 10900 NE 4th Street, Suite 2300, Bellevue, Washington in the United States of America.
Since March 2004, the Company has been developing technology and patents related to VoIP-related processes. All business activities prior to March 2004 have been abandoned and written off to deficit.
In December 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of Digifonica (International) Limited (“Digifonica”), a private company incorporated on September 7, 2004 in Gibraltar.
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company is in various stages of product development and continues to incur losses and, at June 30, 2016, had an accumulated deficit of $29,887,434 (September 30, 2015 - $28,162,038). The ability of the Company to continue operations as a going concern is dependent upon raising additional working capital, settling outstanding debts and generating profitable operations. These material uncertainties may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Should the going concern assumption not continue to be appropriate, further adjustments to carrying values of assets and liabilities may be required. There can be no assurance that capital will be available as necessary to meet these continued developments and operating costs or, if the capital is available, that it will be on the terms acceptable to the Company. The issuances of additional stock by the Company may result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of its current shareholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase the Company’s liabilities and future cash commitments. If the Company is unable to obtain financing in the amounts and on terms deemed acceptable, its business and future success may be adversely affected.
NOTE 2. | BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America (“US GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2015. Operating results for the nine-month period ended June 30, 2016 may not necessarily be indicative of the results for the year ending September 30, 2016. The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP.
NOTE 3. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Principles of Consolidation
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a consolidated basis and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary Digifonica. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. As at June 30, 2016, Digifonica had no activities.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements required management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Where estimates have been used financial results as determined by actual events could differ from those estimates.
Cash
Cash consists of cash on hand and monies held in checking and savings accounts. The Company had $182,856 and $773,275 in cash on June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015, respectively.

NOTE 3. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D) |
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets, consisting of Intellectual VoIP communication patent properties are recorded at cost and amortized over the assets estimated life on a straight line basis. Management considers factors such as remaining life of the patents, technological usefulness and other factors in estimating the life of the assets.
The carrying value of intangible assets are reviewed for impairment by management of the Company at least annually or upon the occurrence of an event which may indicate that the carrying amount may be less than its fair value. If impaired, the Company will write-down such impairment. In addition, the useful life of the intangible assets will be evaluated by management at least annually or upon the occurrence of an event which may indicate that the useful life may have changed.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, defines fair value as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The fair value should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity.
The Company classifies financial assets and liabilities as held-for-trading, available-for-sale, held-to-maturity, loans and receivables or other financial liabilities depending on their nature. Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized at fair value on their initial recognition, except for those arising from certain related party transactions which are accounted for at the transferor’s carrying amount or exchange amount.
Financial assets and liabilities classified as held-for-trading are measured at fair value, with gains and losses recognized in net income. Financial assets classified as held-to-maturity, loans and receivables, and financial liabilities other than those classified as held-for-trading are measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest method of amortization. Financial assets classified as available-for-sale are measured at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses being recognized as other comprehensive income until realized, or if an unrealized loss is considered other than temporary, the unrealized loss is recorded in income.
U.S. GAAP establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the amount that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The standard describes the following fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The fair value of cash is classified as Level 1 at June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015.
The Company classifies its financial instruments as follows: Cash is classified as held for trading, and is measured at fair value. Accounts payable and accrued expenses are classified as other financial liabilities, and have a fair value approximating their carrying value, due to their short-term nature.

NOTE 3. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D) |
Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes have been provided for temporary differences between financial statement and income tax reporting under the asset and liability method, using expected tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided when realization is not considered more likely than not.
The Company’s policy is to classify income tax assessments, if any, for interest expense and for penalties in general and administrative expenses. The Company’s income tax returns are subject to examination by the IRS and corresponding states, generally for three years after they are filed.
Loss per Common Share
Basic loss per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted income per share includes potentially dilutive securities such as outstanding options and warrants outstanding during each period. To calculate diluted loss per share the Company uses the treasury stock method and the If-converted method.
For the period ended June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015 there were no potentially dilutive securities included in the calculation of weighted-average common shares outstanding.
Derivatives
We account for derivatives pursuant to ASC 815, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. All derivative instruments are recognized in the consolidated financial statements and measured at fair value regardless of the purpose or intent for holding them. We record our interest rate and foreign currency swaps at fair value based on discounted cash flow analysis and for warrants and other option type instruments based on option pricing models. The changes in fair value of these instruments are recorded in income or expense.
Stock based compensation
The Company recognizes compensation expense for all stock-based payments made to employees, directors and others based on the estimated fair values of its common stock on the date of issuance.
The Company determines the fair value of the share-based compensation payments granted as either the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. If the fair value of the equity instruments issued is used, it is measured using the stock price and other measurement assumptions as of the earlier of either the date at which a commitment for performance to earn the equity instrument is reached or the date the performance is complete.
The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock awards with service conditions on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is included in operations.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company maintains cash at financial institutions, which at times, may be in excess of insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses to date as a result of this policy and, in assessing its risk, the Companies’ policy is to maintain cash only with reputable financial institutions. One of the operating accounts had a cash value of $182,856 as of June 30, 2016 which did not exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limit of $250,000.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements.

The incentive stock options were valued and recorded at $398,044 using the Black Scholes method for pricing options.
NOTE 10. | STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION |
Stock Option Plan
During the nine months ended June 30, 2016, in order to provide incentive to directors, officers, management, employees, consultants and others who provide services to the Company or any subsidiary (the “Service Providers”) to act in the best interests of the Company, and to retain such Service Providers, it was determined by the board of directors that the Company requires a stock option plan under which it is able to grant incentive stock options to such Service Providers. The Company put in place an Incentive Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) whereby the Company is authorized to issue up to 10% of its issued and outstanding share capital in options to purchase common shares of the Company. The maximum term of options granted under the Plan cannot exceed ten years.
During the nine month period ended June 30, 2016, the Company granted options under the Plan to several of its consultants to purchase 14,000,000 common shares in the capital stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.06 per common share for a period of five years from the date of grant. 8,000,000 of the options granted vest immediately, with the balance to vest within one year of the date of grant.
The following assumptions were used for the Black-Scholes valuation of stock options granted during the nine-month period ended June 30, 2016: risk-free rate of 0.52%, expected life of 5 years, annualized historical volatility of 68.8% and a dividend rate of 0%. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock and other factors. The compensation cost that has been charged against income from options issued under the plan was $398,044 ($nil – 2015).
The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during the nine-months ended June 30, 2016 was $0.03 (2015 - $nil). The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the nine months ended June 30, 2016 was $nil (2015 - $nil).

Litigation
The Company is party to pending litigation cases as follows:
i) | Locksmith Financial Corporation, Inc. et al. v Voip-Pal.com Inc. (Case No A-15-717491-C) filed in Clark County District Court (the “State Case”) |
On March 24, 2014, the Company resolved to freeze 95,832,000 common shares that were issued to a company controlled by a former director (the “defendant”) in fiscal 2013 and accounted for at a cost of $1,443,000. The Company believes that the shares were issued as settlement of a line of credit that the Company believes to have been legally unsupported. The defendant alleges that the freeze and the Company’s actions constituted fraud and a breach of securities laws. The Company denies any wrongdoing. Currently the State Case is entering the discovery phase of litigation and the outcome is undeterminable.
ii) | Voip-Pal.com Inc. v Richard Kipping, et al. (Case No. 2:15-cv-01258-JAD-VCF) filed in United States District Court (the “Federal Case”) |
On July 2, 2015, the Company filed suit against a former director, a shareholder and the company controlled by a former director. The Company alleges that the common shares issued in the State Case and an additional 7,200,000 common shares were fraudulently obtained and that the shares have been unlawfully transferred to other entities. The proceedings in the Federal Case have been stayed pending a final determination of the issues in the State Case. The outcome of the case is undeterminable.
iii) | Voip-Pal.com Inc. v Apple, Inc. (Case No. 2:16-CV-00260) & Verizon Wireless Services, LLC, Verizon Communications Inc., AT&T Corp. (Case No. 2:16-VC-00271) in the United States District Court, District of Nevada |
In February, 2016 the Company filed patent infringement lawsuits in the United States District Court, District of Nevada against four major telecommunications and media-related companies, claiming a combined $7,200,000,000 in damages. On May 9, 2016, the lawsuits were officially served to these companies. The proceedings in these cases have not yet commenced. The outcome of these cases is undeterminable.
Inter Partes Reviews
In other legal actions related to Item iii above, the Company is involved in three Inter Partes Review (“IPR”) cases before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board of the United States Patent and Trademark Office, as follows:

- | Apple, Inc. (Petitioner) vs. Voip-Pal.com, Inc. (Patent Owner) IPR2016-01201, Reviewing Patent No. 5,542,815 |
The Inter Partes Review allows the Patent Trial and Appeal Board to consider the validity of issued patents. There are no damages awarded, but a portion or all of a patent may be invalidated. The outcome of these IPRs is undeterminable.
Performance Bonus Payable
During the nine months ended June 30, 2016, the board of directors of the Company authorized the Company to provide a performance bonus of up to 3% of the capital stock of the Company (the “Performance Bonus”) by way of the issuance of common shares from its treasury to an as yet undetermined group of related and non-related parties upon the successful completion of a purchase and sale of the Company or a major licensing transaction, defined as a bonusable event. In order to provide maximum flexibility to the Company with respect to determining what constitutes such a bonusable event, the level of Performance Bonus payable, and who may qualify to receive a pro-rata share of such a Performance Bonus, the Company authorized full discretion to the Board in making such determinations. As at June 30, 2016, no bonusable event has occurred and there is no Performance Bonus currently payable.

CORPORATE HISTORY, OVERVIEW AND PRINCIPAL BUSINESS
VOIP-PAL.com Inc. (“Voip-Pal”, the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Nevada in September 1997 as All American Casting International, Inc. and changed its name to VOIP MDI.com in 2004 and subsequently to Voip-Pal.Com Inc. in 2006. Since March 2004, the Company has been in the development stage of becoming a VoIP re-seller, a provider of a proprietary transactional billing platform tailored to the points and air mile business, and a provider of anti-virus applications for smartphones. All business activities prior to March 2004 have been abandoned and written off to deficit.
In December 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of Digifonica (International) Limited, a private company incorporated on September 7, 2004 in Gibraltar.
Voip-Pal is a technical leader in the broadband Voice-over-Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) market with the ownership and continuing development of a portfolio of leading-edge VoIP Patents. Voip-Pal’s primary products are VoIP-related patented technology. The Company has spent several years testing and developing this technology. The Company is currently seeking to monetize the patents through a corporate transaction, an asset sale, or licensure of its products.
Voip-Pal’s intellectual property value is derived from ten issued USPTO patents. Voip-Pal inventions described in these patents provide the means to integrate VoIP services with any of the legacy telecommunications systems to create a seamless service using either legacy telephone numbers or IP addresses, and enhance the performance and value of VoIP implementations worldwide.
Voice over IP (Internet Protocol), or VoIP, has been and continues to be a green field for innovation that has spawned numerous inventions, greatly benefitting consumers large and small across the globe. VoIP is used in many places and by every modern telephony system vendor, network supplier, and retail and wholesale carrier.
Results of Operations
The Company’s operating costs consist of expenses incurred to monetizing, selling and licensing its VoIP patents. Other operating costs include expenses for legal, accounting and other professional fees, financing costs, and other general and administrative expenses.

The increase in general and administrative expenses of $1,138,368 or 223% more than the previous year, was primarily due to higher legal and patent-related expenses paid out by the Company and the issuance of $398,044 of stock-based compensation under the Company’s Stock Option Plan during the period ended June 30, 2016.
AMORTIZATION OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Amortization of intellectual VoIP communications patent properties for the three months ending June 30, 2016 totaled $25,168 compared to $27,718 during the same period in 2015. The decrease in amortization expenses of $2,550, or -9% over the previous period was due to the full amortization reached on certain intangible assets in the prior period.
Amortization of the intellectual VoIP communications patent properties for the nine months ending June 30, 2016 totaled $75,540 compared to $83,154 during the same period in 2015. The decrease in amortization expenses of $7,614, or -9% over the previous period was due to the full amortization reached on certain intangible assets in the prior period.
The Company follows GAAP (FAS 142) and is amortizing its intangibles over the remaining patent life of twelve (12) years. The Company evaluates its intangible assets annually and determines if the fair market value is less than its historical cost. If the fair market value is less, then impairment expense is recorded on the Company’s financial statements. The intangible assets on the financial statements of the Company relate primarily to the Company’s acquisition of Digifonica.

As a smaller reporting company we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

Item 4. | Controls and Procedures. |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2016. In making this assessment, management used the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or COSO. The COSO framework summarizes each of the components of a company’s internal control system, including (i) the control environment, (ii) risk assessment, (iii) control activities, (iv) information and communication, and (v) monitoring. In management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(c), our management concluded as of the end of the fiscal period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that our internal control over financial reporting has not been effective. The company intends, prior to the next fiscal year as the company’s finances improve, to hire additional accounting staff and implement additional controls.
As defined by Auditing Standard No. 5, “An Audit of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting that is Integrated with an Audit of Financial Statements and Related Independence Rule and Conforming Amendments,” established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”), a material weakness is a deficiency or combination of deficiencies that results more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. In connection with the assessment described above, management identified the following control deficiencies that represent material weaknesses as of June 30, 2016:
1) | Lack of segregation of duties. At this time, our resources and size prevent us from being able to employ sufficient resources to enable us to have adequate segregation of duties within our internal control system. Management will periodically reevaluate this situation. |
2) | Lack of an independent audit committee. Although the Board of Directors serves an audit committee it is not comprised solely of independent directors. We may establish an audit committee comprised solely of independent directors when we have sufficient capital resources and working capital to attract qualified independent directors and to maintain such a committee. |
3) | Insufficient number of independent directors. At the present time, our Board of Directors does not consist of a majority of independent directors, a factor that is counter to corporate governance practices as set forth by the rules of various stock exchanges. |
Our management determined that these deficiencies constituted material weaknesses. Due to a lack of financial resources, we are not able to, and do not intend to, immediately take any action to remediate these material weaknesses. We will not be able to do so until we acquire sufficient financing to do so. We will implement further controls as circumstances, cash flow, and working capital permit. Notwithstanding the assessment that our ICFR was not effective and that there were material weaknesses as identified in this report, we believe that our financial statements fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the years covered thereby in all material respects.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports 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 in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls
Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving our objectives and our Chief Executive Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at that reasonable assurance level. 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 breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the internal control. The design of any system of controls also 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. Over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2016 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect such controls.
