SUPPLEMENT NO. 1 DATED JANUARY 14, 2021

TO THE OFFERING CIRCULAR DATED JANUARY 11, 2021

 

IQSTEL INC.

80,000,000 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

$0.001 PAR VALUE PER SHARE

 

This Post-Qualification Offering Circular Amendment No. 4 (the “Amendment”) amends the Offering Circular of iQSTEL Inc., dated February 19, 2019, as qualified on December 9, 2019, and as may be amended and supplemented from time to time, to extend the offering duration and to add additional shares of common stock to be offered pursuant to the Offering Circular. This Amendment relates to the offer and sale of up to an additional 56,000,000 shares of common stock onto the original 24,000,000 shares offered by the Company, for a revised maximum of 80,000,000 shares. We have sold a total of 23,937,500 shares of common stock so far in the offering.

 

In this public offering we, “IQSTEL Inc.” are offering 80,000,000 shares of our common stock and our selling shareholder is offering 900,000 shares of our common stock. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares by the selling shareholders. This offering is being conducted on a “best efforts” basis, which means that there is no guarantee that any minimum amount will be sold.

 

Resale shares may be sold to or through underwriters or dealers, directly to purchasers or through agents designated from time to time by the selling shareholders. For additional information regarding the methods of sale, you should refer to the section entitled “Plan of Distribution” in this offering. There is no minimum number of shares required to be purchased by each investor.

 

All of the shares being registered for sale by the Company or the selling shareholder will be sold at a fixed price of $0.10 per share. Assuming all of the 80,000,000 shares being offered by the Company are sold, the Company will receive $8,000,000 in gross proceeds. Assuming 60,000,000 shares (75%) being offered by the Company are sold, the Company will receive $6,000,000 in gross proceeds. Assuming 40,000,000 shares (50%) being offered by the Company are sold, the Company will receive $4,000,000 in gross proceeds. Assuming 20,000,000 shares (25%) being offered by the Company are sold, the Company will receive $2,000,000 in gross proceeds. There is no minimum amount we are required to raise from the shares being offered by the Company. There are no arrangements to place the funds received in an escrow, trust, or similar arrangement and the funds will be available to us following deposit into the Company’s bank account.

 

This primary offering will terminate upon the earliest of (i) such time as all of the common stock has been sold pursuant to the Offering Statement or (ii) 365 days from the qualified date of this offering circular, unless extended by our directors for an additional 90 days. We may however, at any time and for any reason terminate the offering.

Results of Operations for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 and 2019

 

Revenues

 

Our total revenue reported for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was $13,291,698, compared with $4,172,547 for the three months ended September 30, 2019. These numbers reflect an increase of 218.55% quarter over quarter on our consolidated revenues. Our total revenue reported for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $29,439,196, compared with $12,589,109 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

 

When looking at the numbers by subsidiary, we have the following breakout for the nine months ended September 30, 2020:

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 September 30, 2020 increased to $13,158,685, compared with $3,929,137 for the three months ended September 30, 2019. Our total cost of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 increased to $28,735,016, compared with $12,001,850 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

 

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.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses increased to $958,787 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 from $492,782 for the three months ended September 30, 2019. Operating expenses increased to $3,161,330 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 from $1,024,842 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

The main reasons for the overall increase in operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period of 2019 is that in 2020 we are reflecting the costs corresponding to 5 operating subsidiaries (Etelix.com, SwissLink, ItsBchain, QGlobal and IoT Labs) plus the corporate costs corresponding to iQSTEL itself; while in 2019 operating expenses corresponded only to Etelix, a portion corresponding to SwissLink (this subsidiary is consolidated since August 15, 2019) and corporate costs of iQSTEL; as shown in the table below.

The most significant difference is generated by iQSTEL which is due to the following: (1) the Salaries, Wages and Benefits as a result of the new employment agreements with the Management Team members valid from May 2019, where the aggregated monthly salaries varied from $11,500 to $36,000, and the implementation starting on January 2020 of a compensation for Board Members of 3,000 monthly; (2) Advertising corresponds to the third-party consultancy for the design and implementation of a Social Media communication strategy oriented to build and enhance our companies and brand image; and (3) Stock-based compensation.

Operating Income

 

The Company showed negative Operating Income for the three months ended September 30, 2020 of $825,774 compared with a negative result of $249,372 for the three months ended September 30, 2019.

 

The Company showed negative Operating Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 of $2,457,150 compared with a negative result of $437,583 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

 

The increase of the numbers for the nine month period above is primarily due to the costs associated with the operation of the public entity (iQSTEL, Inc.) estimated in the amount of $2,242,336.

 

Other Expenses/Other Income

 

We had other expenses of $144,451 for the three months ended September 30, 2020, as compared with other expenses of $3,268,651 for the same period ended 2019. We had other expenses of $1,044,813 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared with other expenses of $4,590,259 for the same period ended 2019. The decrease in other expenses is a result of the positive change in fair value of derivative liabilities.

 

Net Income

 

We finished the three months ended September 30, 2020 with a net loss of $970,225, as compared to a loss of $3,517,171 during the three months ended September 30, 2019. We finished the nine months ended September 30, 2020 with a loss of $3,501,963, as compared to a loss of $5,026,990 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

 

The reasons for specific components are discussed above. Overall, these are the main concepts impacting the net result: (1) an increment in interest expenses of $582,478 year over year to total $2,368,107; and (2) the Operating Expenses of the public entity of $2,242,336.

 

Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

 

Net Revenue

 

Our net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $18,031,548 as compared with $13,775,361 for the year ended December 31, 2018. These numbers reflect an increase of 30.89% year over year on our consolidated Revenues. When looking at the numbers by subsidiary, Etelix’s revenue was $16,322,718 and SwissLink contributed $1,708,830. The continued growth of our revenue year over year, during the last three years, is due to our focus on carrying traffic to higher revenue per minute destinations in Africa. We have to remember that one of our main strategic lines of actions in the last years has been to strengthen the business relationship with our customers in Europe and leverage from there our growth in the African market, with half of the traffic terminated in Africa originating from Europe.

 

There is still room to grow and we have enough capacity in our telecommunication infrastructure to accommodate more than twice the traffic we handle at the present time.

 

If net revenues continue growing at a similar rates for the next twelve months, we believe that the company will reach a total consolidated revenue of approximately $23 million by December 31, 2020.

 

Cost of Sales

 

Our total cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $17,250,623 as compared with $12,582,955 for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase results from a higher volume of minutes of African destinations, which rates are on average 9 times higher compared to the average rates of the rest of the World. This behavior in the costs shows a logical correlation with the behavior of the revenue commented above.

 

Gross Margin

 

Our gross margin, which is simply the difference between our revenues and our cost of sales, discussed above, decreased from $1,192,406 in 2018 to $780,925 in 2019. The Gross Margin over Revenues decreased from 8.66% to 4.33% from 2018 to 2019.

This lower gross margin is due to the inclusion of new destinations in our portfolio. To develop a new market and to be able to obtain from it the expected margins, it is necessary to advance along several stages. First, it is important to add some routes to the portfolio and capture a significant volume of traffic from the customers to those routes. Once a critical mass of traffic has been reached, the company is in a better position to negotiate with vendors the price conditions and payment terms. These are the two aspects that mainly determine the gross margins. Having captured the desired volume to those new destinations, now we can move to the second stage to negotiate with our vendors better terms and conditions that will impact in a positive way the gross margins in every carried minute.

 

With this in mind, we expect an increase in the gross margin for the next twelve months as a result of having better termination costs.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2018 were $1,449,624, as compared with $1,220,301 for the year ended December 31, 2018. The detail by major category is reflected in the table below.

Total Operating Expense

$

1,220,301

 

The main reasons for the overall increase in operating expenses in 2019 were: (1) the Salaries, Wages and Benefits as a result of the new employment agreements with the Management Team members valid from May 2019, where the aggregated monthly salaries varied from $11,500 to $36,000; (2) the Professional Fees comprised of legal, accounting and other consulting services includes in 2019 the costs associated to the due diligence and audit of SwissLink Carrier AG; (2) Items such as Depreciation and Amortization, Travel & Events, Bank Services and Fees and Office, Facilities and Others now include those related to SwissLink. In some of those items we are expecting to create synergies and reduce the overall costs.

 

The item Technology already reflects the savings resulting from the implementation of the new HostSBC switching platform.

 

No allowance for doubtful accounts were established due to additional controls already implemented within the commercial area and collection team.

 

Item Advertising corresponds to the third-party consultancy for the design and implementation of a Social Media communication strategy oriented to build and enhance our companies and brand image.

 

All other items were stable from one year to the other, which allows us to affirm that the cost structure of the company is under control and supervision.

 

Other Expenses

 

We had other expenses of $4,774,039 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared with other expenses of $2,076,266 for the year ended December 31, 2018. Our other expenses in 2019 were mainly related to changes in the fair value of derivative liabilities and interest expense. Fair value of derivative liabilities is connected to the convertible promissory notes issued by the company during years 2018 and 2019. It has been the intention of the company to redeem these convertible promissory notes before their due date, so the increase of interest expenses is due to the redemption of those convertible notes.

Net Loss

 

We finished the year ended December 31, 2018 with a loss of $5,442,738 as compared to a loss of $2,104,161 during the year ended December 31, 2018. The reasons for specific components are discussed above. Overall, these are the main concepts impacting the net result: (1) a loss in the change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $2,111,783; and (2) an increase in interest expenses of $2,193,811‬ year over year, from $460,185 in year 2018 to $2,653,996 in year 2019.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of September 30, 2020, we had total current assets of $2,968,653 and current liabilities of $7,940,889, resulting in a working capital deficit of $4,972,236‬. This compares with the working capital deficit of $7,707,148‬ at December 31, 2019. This decrease in working capital deficit, as discussed in more detail below, is primarily the result of the increase of $376,831 in the cash position and a reduction of $4,085,931 in the derivative liabilities.‬ ‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬

 

Our operating activities used $1,526,513 in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared with $1,331,051 used in operating activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

 

Investing activities used $79,324 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Uses of funds on investing activities were the purchase of property and equipment for value of $78,306 and net payment of loans between related parties of $17,187.

 

Financing activities provided $1,968,632 in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared with $1,327,978 provided in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Our positive financing cash flow in 2020 was largely the result of the net proceeds from loans $325,833, net proceeds from convertible notes $927,810; and proceed from the subscription of new common stocks under our Regulation A offering $715,004.

 

Based upon our current financial condition, we do not have sufficient cash to operate our business at the current level for the next twelve months. We intend to fund operations through increased sales and debt and/or equity financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund expenditures or other cash requirements. The Company has received the qualification of an Offering Statement under Regulation A for the sale of up to 24,000,000 common shares. This offering is being conducted on a “best efforts” basis, which means that there is no guarantee that any minimum amount will be sold. 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 nine month period ended September 30, 2020.

 

Critical Accounting Polices

 

In December 2001, the SEC requested that all registrants list their most “critical accounting polices” in the Management Discussion and Analysis. The SEC indicated that 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 critical accounting policies are disclosed in Note 2 of our audited consolidated financial statements included in the Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of September 30, 2020, there were no off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The recent accounting pronouncements that are material to our financial statements are disclosed in Note 2 of our consolidated audited financial statements included in the Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in Note 2 of our unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein.

RISK FACTORS

 

Please consider the following risk factors and other information in this offering circular relating to our business before deciding to invest in our common stock.

 

This offering and any investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below and all of the information contained in this offering circular before deciding whether to purchase our common stock. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be harmed. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

 

We consider the following to be the material risks for an investor regarding this offering. Our company should be viewed as a high-risk investment and speculative in nature. An investment in our common stock may result in a complete loss of the invested amount.

 

An investment in our common stock is highly speculative, and should only be made by persons who can afford to lose their entire investment in us. You should carefully consider the following risk factors and other information in this report before deciding to become a holder of our common stock. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business and financial results could be negatively affected to a significant extent.

 

Risk Factors Related to the Business of the Company

 

Because our auditor has issued a going concern opinion regarding our company, there is an increased risk associated with an investment in our company.

 

We have limited cash as of September 30, 2020 of $647,334 and December 31, 2019 of $270,503, and we have continually operated at a loss with an accumulated deficit of $11,673,729 as of September 30, 2020. We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing or generating revenue from operations to continue operations for the next twelve months. Our future is dependent upon our ability to obtain financing or upon future profitable operations. We reserve the right to seek additional funds through private placements of our common stock and/or through debt financing. Our ability to raise additional financing is unknown. We do not have any formal commitments or arrangements for the advancement or loan of funds. For these reasons, our auditors stated in their report that they have substantial doubt we will be able to continue as a going concern. As a result, there is an increased risk that you could lose the entire amount of your investment in our company.

 

Our telecommunications line of business is highly sensitive to declining prices, which may adversely affect our revenues and margins.

 

The telecommunications industry is characterized by intense price competition, which has resulted in declines in both our average per-minute price realizations and our average per-minute termination costs.

 

A reduction of our prices to compete with any other offers in the market will not always guarantee and increase in the traffic, which may result in a reduction of revenue. If these trends in pricing continue or accelerate, it could have a material adverse effect on the revenues generated by our telecommunications businesses and/or our gross margins.

 

The continued growth of Over-The-Top calling and messaging services, such as WhatsApp, Skype and Viber has adversely affected the use of traditional phone communications. We expect this IP-based services which offer voice communications for free to continue to increase, which may result in increased substitution on our service offerings.

 

The termination of our carrier agreements or our inability to enter into new carrier agreements in the future could materially and adversely affect our ability to compete, which could reduce our revenues and profits.

 

We rely upon our carrier agreements in order to provide our telecommunications services to our customers. These carrier agreements are in most cases for finite terms and, therefore, there can be no guarantee that these agreements will be renewed at all or on favorable terms to us. Our ability to compete would be adversely affected if our carrier agreements were terminated or we were unable to enter into carrier agreements in the future to provide our telecommunications services to our customers, which could result in a reduction of our revenues and profits.

Our customers, could experience financial difficulties, which could adversely affect our revenues and profitability if we experience difficulties in collecting our receivables.

 

As a provider of international long-distance services, we depend upon sales of transmission and termination of traffic to other long distance providers and the collection of receivables from these customers. The wholesale telecommunications market continues to feature many smaller, less financially stable companies. If weakness in the telecommunications industry or the global economy reduces our ability to collect our accounts receivable from our major customers our profitability may be substantially reduced. While our most significant customers, from a revenue perspective, vary from quarter to quarter, our fourteen largest customers (4.70% of our total customer base) collectively accounted for 80% of total consolidated revenues by the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This concentration of revenues increases our exposure to non-payment by our larger customers, and we may experience significant write-offs if any of our large customers fail to pay their outstanding balances, which could adversely affect our revenues and profitability.

 

Natural disasters, terrorist acts, acts of war, cyber-attacks or other breaches of network or information technology security may cause equipment failures or disrupt our operations.

 

Our inability to operate our telecommunications networks because of such events, even for a limited period of time, may result in loss of revenue, significant expenses, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

 

We could be harmed by network disruptions, security breaches, or other significant disruptions or failures of our IT infrastructure and related systems. To be successful, we need to continue to have available a high capacity, reliable and secure network for our and our customers’ use. As any other company, we face the risk of a security breach, whether through cyber-attacks, malware, computer viruses, sabotage, or other significant disruption of our IT infrastructure and related systems. There is a risk of a security breach or disruption of the systems we operate, including possible unauthorized access to our proprietary or classified information. We are also subject to breaches of our network resulting in unauthorized utilization of our services, which subject us to the costs of providing those services, which are likely not recoverable. The secure maintenance and transmission of our information is a critical element of our operations. Our information technology and other systems that maintain and transmit customer information may be compromised by a malicious third-party penetration of our network security, or impacted by advertent or inadvertent actions or inactions by our employees, or those of a third party service provider or business partner. As a result, our or our customers’ information may be lost, disclosed, accessed or taken without the customers’ consent, or our services may be used without payment.

 

Although we make significant efforts to maintain the security and integrity of these types of information and systems, there can be no assurance that our security efforts and measures will be effective or that attempted security breaches or disruptions would not be successful or damaging, especially in light of the growing sophistication of cyber-attacks and intrusions. We may be unable to anticipate all potential types of attacks or intrusions or to implement adequate security barriers or other preventative measures. Certain of our business units have been the subject of attempted and successful cyber-attacks in the past. We have researched the situations and do not believe any material internal or customer information has been compromised.

 

We operate a global business that exposes us to currency, economic and regulatory.

 

Our revenue comes primarily from sales outside the U.S. and our growth strategy is largely focused on emerging markets. Our success delivering solutions and competing in international markets is subject to our ability to manage various risks and difficulties, including, but not limited to:

 

·our ability to effectively staff, provide technical support and manage operations in multiple countries;  

 

·fluctuations in currency exchange rates;  

 

·timely collecting of accounts receivable from customers located outside of the U.S.;  

 

·trade restrictions, political instability, disruptions in financial markets, and deterioration of economic conditions;  

 

·compliance with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and other anti-bribery laws and regulations;  

 

·variations and changes in laws applicable to our operations in different jurisdictions, including enforceability of intellectual property and contract rights; and  

 

·compliance with export regulations, tariffs and other regulatory barriers.

Tax Risks

 

We are subject to tax and regulatory audits which could result in the imposition of liabilities that may or may not have been reserved. We are subject to audits by taxing and regulatory authorities with respect to certain of our income and operations. These audits can cover periods for several years prior to the date the audit is undertaken and could result in the imposition of liabilities, interest and penalties if our positions are not accepted by the auditing entity.

 

We may be unable to achieve some, all or any of the benefits that we expect to achieve from our plan to expand our operations.

 

In the future we may require additional financing for capital requirements and growth initiatives. Accordingly, we will depend on our ability to generate cash flows from operations and to borrow funds and issue securities in the capital markets to maintain and expand our business. We may need to incur debt on terms and at interest rates that may not be as favorable. If additional financing is not available when required or is not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to operate our business as planned or at all, fund our expansion, successfully promote our business, develop or enhance our products and services, take advantage of business opportunities or respond to competitive pressures, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations

 

Risks Related to the Offering and the Market for our Stock

 

Because there is no minimum offering amount, funds raised may not be sufficient to complete the plans of the Company as set forth in “Use of Proceeds” in this Offering Circular.

 

There is no minimum offering amount. If we do not raise the maximum proceeds, funds raised may not be sufficient to complete all plans of the Company as set forth in “Use of Proceeds” in this Offering Circular, which could inhibit our ability to commence to generate revenue.

 

We have the right to issue additional common stock and preferred stock without consent of stockholders. This would have the effect of diluting investors’ ownership and could decrease the value of their investment.

 

We have additional authorized, but unissued shares of our common stock that may be issued by us for any purpose without the consent or vote of our stockholders that would dilute stockholders’ percentage ownership of our company.

 

In addition, our certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of shares of preferred stock and/or the conversion of existing outstanding preferred stock into common stock, the rights, preferences, designations and limitations of which may be set by the Board of Directors. Our certificate of incorporation has authorized issuance of up 300,000,000 shares of common stock and up to 1,200,000 shares of preferred stock in the discretion of our Board. The shares of authorized but unissued preferred stock may be issued upon Board of Directors approval; no further stockholder action is required. If issued, the rights, preferences, designations and limitations of such preferred stock would be set by our Board and could operate to the disadvantage of the outstanding common stock. Such terms could include, among others, preferences as to dividends and distributions on liquidation.

 

Nevada law and certain anti-takeover provisions of our corporate documents could entrench our management or delay or prevent a third party from acquiring us or a change in control even if it would benefit our shareholders.

 

Certain provisions of Nevada law may have an anti-takeover effect and may delay or prevent a tender offer or other acquisition transaction that a shareholder might consider to be in his or her best interest. The summary of the provisions of Nevada law set forth below does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Nevada law.

 

The issuance of shares of preferred stock, the issuance of rights to purchase such shares, and the imposition of certain other adverse effects on any party contemplating a takeover could be used to discourage an unsolicited acquisition proposal. For instance, the issuance of a series of preferred stock might impede a business combination by including class voting rights that would enable a holder to block such a transaction. In addition, under certain circumstances, the issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power of holders of our common stock.

 


13


 

 

Under Nevada law, a director, in determining what he reasonably believes to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, does not need to consider only the interests of the corporation’s shareholders in any takeover matter but may also, in his discretion, may consider any of the following:

 

(i)The interests of the corporation’s employees, suppliers, creditors and customers; 

 

(ii)The economy of the state and nation; 

 

(iii)The impact of any action upon the communities in or near which the corporation’s facilities or operations are located; 

 

(iv)The long-term interests of the corporation and its shareholders, including the possibility that those interests may be best served by the continued independence of the corporation; and 

 

(v)Any other factors relevant to promoting or preserving public or community interests. 

 

Because our board of directors is not required to make any determination on matters affecting potential takeovers solely based on its judgment as to the best interests of our shareholders, our board could act in a manner that would discourage an acquisition attempt or other transaction that some, or a majority, of our shareholders might believe to be in their best interests or in which such shareholders might receive a premium for their stock over the then market price of such stock. Our board presently does not intend to seek shareholder approval prior to the issuance of currently authorized stock, unless otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange rules.

 

Investors in this offering will experience immediate and substantial dilution.

 

If all of the shares offered hereby are sold (including the 23,937,500 shares of common stock sold so far in the offering), investors in this offering will own 46.16% of the then outstanding shares of common stock, but will have paid 100% of the total consideration for our outstanding shares, resulting in a dilution of $0.0809 per share. See “Dilution.”

 

If a market for our common stock does not develop, shareholders may be unable to sell their shares.

 

Our common stock is quoted under the symbol “IQST” on the OTCPink operated by OTC Markets Group, Inc., an electronic inter-dealer quotation medium for equity securities. We do not currently have an active trading market. There can be no assurance that an active and liquid trading market will develop or, if developed, that it will be sustained.

 

Our securities are very thinly traded. Accordingly, it may be difficult to sell shares of our common stock without significantly depressing the value of the stock. Unless we are successful in developing continued investor interest in our stock, sales of our stock could continue to result in major fluctuations in the price of the stock.

 

The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control.

 

Our stock price is subject to a number of factors, including:

 

·Technological innovations or new products and services by us or our competitors;  

 

·Government regulation of our products and services;  

 

·The establishment of partnerships with other telecom companies;  

 

·Intellectual property disputes;  

 

·Additions or departures of key personnel;  

 

·Sales of our common stock;  

 

·Our ability to integrate operations, technology, products and services;  

 

·Our ability to execute our business plan;  


14


 

 

·Operating results below or exceeding expectations;  

 

·Whether we achieve profits or not;  

 

·Loss or addition of any strategic relationship; 

 

·Industry developments;  

 

·Economic and other external factors; and  

 

·Period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results.  

 

Our stock price may fluctuate widely as a result of any of the above. In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

 

Because we are subject to the “Penny Stock” rules, the level of trading activity in our stock may be reduced.

 

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be any listed, trading equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exemptions. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, the penny stock rules generally require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock, the broker-dealer make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that becomes subject to the penny stock rules which may increase the difficulty Purchasers may experience in attempting to liquidate such securities.

 

We do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. Any return on investment may be limited to the value of our common stock.

 

We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our common stock will depend on earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting it at such time as the board of directors may consider relevant. If we do not pay dividends, our common stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will occur only if our stock price appreciates.

 

Because we lack certain internal controls over financial reporting in that we do not have an audit committee and our Board of Directors has no technical knowledge of U.S. GAAP and internal control of financial reporting and relies upon the Company’s financial personnel to advise the Board on such matters, we are subject to increased risk related to financial statement disclosures.

 

We lack certain internal controls over financial reporting in that we do not yet have an audit committee and our Board of Directors has little technical knowledge of U.S. GAAP and internal control of financial reporting and relies upon the Company’s financial personnel and Accounting firm to advise the Board on such matters. Accordingly, we are subject to increased risk related to financial statement disclosures.

 

We are no longer an “emerging growth company” and therefore no longer eligible for reduced reporting requirements applicable to emerging growth companies.

 

It has been five years since our first registered sale of common stock in 2012, so we are no longer eligible for the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to “emerging growth companies.”

 

Emerging growth companies may take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.


15


 

 

We are also a smaller reporting company, and we will remain a smaller reporting company until the fiscal year following the determination that our voting and non-voting common shares held by non-affiliates is more than $250 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter, or our annual revenues are more than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and our voting and non-voting common shares held by non-affiliates is more than $700 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter. Similar to emerging growth companies, smaller reporting companies are able to provide simplified executive compensation disclosure, are exempt from the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404, and have certain other reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, being required to provide only two years of audited financial statements and not being required to provide selected financial data, supplemental financial information or risk factors.

 

Since we are no longer eligible for emerging growth company status, we will be subject to the reporting obligations of a smaller reporting company and, if we continue grow, we may be subject to increased reporting requirements applicable to accelerated filers, which are more onerous than those applicable to smaller reporting companies.

Investors should be aware that all forward-looking statements contained within this filing are good faith estimates of management as of the date of this filing.

History

 

iQSTEL, formerly known as PureSnax International, Inc., was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on June 24, 2011. PureSnax was previously a wellness brand focused on bringing healthy snacks and foods to consumers. On March 8, 2017, PureSnax exited a previous License Agreement with a Canadian snack food Licensor. From March of 2017 until its recent acquisition of Etelix.com USA, LLC, PureSnax was working to develop its own brand and its own products for manufacture, distribution, sales and marketing of various products within the health foods and snacks industry and to pursue related business opportunities. PureSnax acquired Etelix.com USA, LLC on June 25, 2018, as disclosed in the 8-K the company filed on June 28, 2018 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The company left the healthy snacks and foods business to focus on the Telecommunications Business.

 

In August 30, 2018, PureSnax changed its name to “iQSTEL Inc.” and received a new CUSIP number: 46265G107, as well as a new trading symbol “IQST” in order to better resemble its new name. iQSTEL also changed the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC Code) to 4813, Telephone Communications, Except Radiotelephone.

Etelix.com USA LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of iQSTEL Inc. Etelix.com USA, LLC is a Miami, Florida-based international telecom carrier founded in 2008 that provides telecom and technology solutions worldwide, with commercial presence in North America, Latin America, and Europe., Etelix provides International Long-Distance voice services for Telecommunications Operators (ILD Wholesale), and Submarine Fiber Optic Network capacity for internet (4G and 5G). Etelix was founded in 2008.

 

Etelix is interconnected to the most important players in the industry, with a very strong focus on Asian markets, among which it is worth mentioning: China Telecom, PCCW, Hutchinson Telecom, Vodafone India, KDDI, Airtel, Reliance, Viettel, TATA Communications, Flow Jamaica (Cable and Wireless Caribbean), Cable and Wireless Panama, Millicom (TIGO), Telefonica de España (Movistar), Telecom Italia (TIM), Portugal Telecom (MEU), Optimus (NOS), Belgacom (BICS), Deutsche Telekom, iBasis, Orbitel and Entel.

 

An important milestone in the evolution of Etelix was in 2013, when the company become part of a consortium of major carriers for the upgrade of the Maya-1 submarine cable systems that runs from Hollywood, Florida to the city of Tolu in Colombia. This consortium is led by Orange Telecom and Orbitel, where Etelix participates with 10 Gbps of capacity. The bulk of this contract was sold to Millicom (Tigo Costa Rica). This capacity considerably enhanced Tigo’s ability to deploy world-class 4G services to its customers in Costa Rica.

 

SwissLink Carrier AG is a 51% owned subsidiary of iQSTEL Inc. SwissLink Carrier AG is a Switzerland based international Telecommunications Carrier founded in 2015 providing international VoIP connectivity worldwide, with commercial presence in Europe, CIS and Latin America. SwissLink Carrier AG is a Swiss licensed Operator.

 

One of Company’s strategic line of actions is to expand the participation in the Asian and African traffic. Africa is currently the market with the higher contribution to margin and Asia concentrate one third of the termination traffic in the industry. Estimations show that 56% (International Telecommunication Union) of the traffic terminating in Africa is originated from customers in Europe; while the corresponding percentage of traffic terminated in Asia is 37% (International Telecommunication Union). Based on these numbers the goal to expand the participation in the Asian and African traffic goes through stablishing a strong presence in Europe.

 

The acquisition of Swisslink strengthen The Company’s presence in Europe putting us, not only, in a very competitive position to capture traffic to Asian and African countries; but it will also give us the opportunity to compete in the European traffic, where we currently have a low participation.

 

QGlobal SMS LLC is a 51% owned subsidiary of iQSTEL Inc. QGlobal SMS is a USA based company founded in 2020 specialized in international and domestic SMS termination.

 

IoT Labs LLC, is a 51% owned subsidiary of iQSTEL Inc. IoT Labs is a SMS service provider based in Austin, TX.

Both companies are specialized in international and domestic SMS termination, with emphasis on the Applications to Person (A2P), Person to Person (P2P) and OmniChannel Marketing Services for several markets: Wholesale Carrier, Government, Corporate, Enterprise, Small and Medium Companies.

 

QGlobal SMS has commercial presence in Europe, USA and Latin America, with robust international interconnection with Tier-1 SMS Aggregators, guarantying to its customers high quality and low termination rates, over more than 100 countries; while IoT Labs is specialized in the SMS traffic exchange between US and Mexico.

With the acquisition of these two SMS providers we quickly began to cross-sell services to The Company’s existing client base.

 

The Global A2P SMS Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.1% during the forecast period 2018 – 2030, to account for US$ 101 Bn in 2030, according to Transparency Market Research. This market has experienced significant growth and adoption rate in the past few years and is expected to experience notable growth and adoption in years to come

Regulations

 

Telecommunications services are subject to extensive government regulation in the United States. Any violations of the regulations may subject us to enforcement actions, including interest and penalties. The FCC has jurisdiction over all telecommunications common carriers to the extent they provide interstate or international communications services, including the use of local networks to originate or terminate such services

 

Regulation of Telecom by the Federal Communications Commission

 

Telecommunication License

 

Anyone seeking to conduct telecommunications business where the telecommunication services will transpire between the United States and an international destination must obtain a license from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). This particular license is named a Section 214 license, after the section in the Communications Act of 1934.

 

Etelix.com USA, LLC was authorized by the Federal Communications Commission to provide facility-based services in accordance with section 63.18(e)(1) of the Commission’s rules; and also to provide resale services in accordance with section 63.18(e)(2) under license number ITC-214-20090625-00303.

 

Since Etelix has no other network infrastructure outside the United States, no other licenses are required to us to operate as an international carrier service provider.

 

Universal Service and Other Regulatory Fees and Charges

In 1997, the FCC issued an order, referred to as the Universal Service Order, which requires all telecommunications carriers providing interstate telecommunications services to contribute to universal service support programs administered by the FCC (known as the Universal Service Fund). These periodic contributions are currently assessed based on a percentage of each contributor’s interstate and international end user telecommunications revenues reported to the FCC. Etelix also contribute to several other regulatory funds and programs, most notably Telecommunications Relay Service and FCC Regulatory Fees (collectively, the Other Funds). Due to the manner in which these contributions are calculated, we cannot be assured that we fully recover from our customers all of our contributions.

 

In addition, based on the nature of our current business, we receive certain exemptions from federal Universal Service Fund contributions. Changes in our business could eliminate our ability to qualify for some or all of these exemptions. Changes in regulation may also have an impact on the availability of some or all of these exemptions. If even some of these exemptions become unavailable, they could materially increase our federal Universal Service Fund or Other Funds’ contributions and have a material adverse effect on the cost of our operations and, therefore, on our ability to continue to operate profitably, and to develop and grow our business. We cannot be certain of the stability of the contribution factors for the Other Funds. Significant increases in the contribution factor for the Other Funds in general and the Telecommunications Relay Service Fund in particular can impact our profitability. Whether these contribution factors will be stable in the future is unknown, but it is possible that we will be subject to significant increases.

The expected use of net proceeds from this offering represents our intentions based upon our current plans and business conditions, which could change in the future as our plans and business conditions evolve. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures may vary significantly depending on numerous factors, including negotiations with the other parties in the merge and acquisitions process of the target companies, the amount of cash available from other sources and any unforeseen cash needs. As a result, our management will retain broad discretion over the allocation of the net proceeds from this offering.

 

DILUTION

 

If you invest in our shares, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per share of our common stock and the as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our capital stock after this Offering. Our net tangible book value (deficit) as of September 30, 2020 was ($2,243,240) or ($0.0287) per share of outstanding common stock. Without giving effect to any changes in the net tangible book value after September 30, 2020 other than the sale of 80,000,000 shares in this offering at the fixed public offering price of $0.10 per share less direct costs of the offering ($50,000), our pro forma net tangible book value as of September 30, 2020 was $3.313.010 or $0.0191 per share of outstanding common stock. Dilution in net tangible book value per common share, represents the difference between the amount per share paid by the purchasers of our common shares in this offering and the net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately afterwards. This represents an immediate increase of $0.0383 per share of common stock to existing shareholders and an immediate dilution of $0.0809 per share of common stock to the new investors, or approximately 80.88% of the assumed initial public offering price of $0.10 per share.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

This Offering Statement is part the Form 1-A that we filed with the SEC, using a continuous offering process. Periodically, as we have material developments, we will provide an Offering Statement supplement that may add, update or change information contained in this Offering Statement. Any statement that we make in this Offering Statement will be modified or superseded by any inconsistent statement made by us in a subsequent Offering Statement supplement.

 

We intend to sell the shares in the primary offering through the efforts of our officers, Leandro Iglesias and Alvaro Quintana Cardona. Messrs. Iglesias and Cardona will not receive any compensation for offering or selling the shares in our primary offering. We believe that Messrs. Iglesias and Cardona are exempt from registration as a broker-dealer under the provisions of Rule 3a4-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act). In particular, Messrs. Iglesias and Cardona:

 

·are not subject to a statutory disqualification, as that term is defined in Section 3(a)(39) of the Securities Act; and  

 

·are not to be compensated in connection with his participation by the payment of commissions or other remuneration based either directly or  

 

·indirectly on transactions in securities; and  

 

·are not an associated person of a broker or dealer; and  

 

·meet the conditions of the following:  

 

·primarily perform, and will perform at the end of this offering, substantial duties for us or on our behalf otherwise than in connection with transactions in securities; and  

 

·were not brokers or dealers, or an associated persons of a broker or dealer, within the preceding 12 months; and  

 

·did not participate in selling an offering of securities for any issuer more than once every 12 months other than in reliance on paragraphs (a)(4)(i) or (iii) of Rule 3a4-1 under the Exchange Act.  

 

The Selling Shareholders may pledge all or a portion of their respective Selling Shareholder Shares owned as collateral for margin accounts or in loan transactions, and the Selling Shareholder Shares may be resold pursuant to the terms of such pledges, margin accounts or loan transactions. Upon default by any such Selling Shareholder, the pledge in such loan transaction would have the same rights of sale as the Selling Shareholders under this Offering Circular. The Selling Shareholders may also enter into exchange traded listed option transactions, which require the delivery of the Selling Shareholder Shares listed under this Offering Circular. The Selling Shareholders may also transfer the Selling Shareholder Shares owned in other ways not involving market makers or established trading markets, including directly by gift, distribution or other transfer without consideration, and upon any such transfer the transferee would have the same rights of sale as Selling Shareholders under this Offering Circular.

 

The Selling Shareholders will be affected by the applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including, without limitation, Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the securities by the Selling Shareholders or any such other person. We have instructed the Selling Shareholders that they may not purchase any of our securities while they are selling their respective Selling Shareholder Shares under this Offering Circular.

 

We will not pay for any expenses relating to the sale of Selling Shareholder Shares by the Selling Shareholders, except the expenses related to filing this Offering Circular.

Under the Certificate of Designation, holders of Series A Preferred Stock will participate on an equal basis per-share with holders of our common stock in any distribution upon winding up, dissolution, or liquidation.

Holders of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to receive as, when, and if declared by the Board of Directors, dividends in kind at an annual rate equal to twenty four percent (24%) of $81 per share for each of the then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Holders of Series B Preferred Stock do not have voting rights but may convert into common stock at a conversion rate of one thousand (1,000) shares of Common Stock for every one (1) share of Series B Preferred Stock

 

Series C Preferred Stock

 

On January 7, 2021, pursuant to Article III of our Articles of Incorporation, our Board of Directors voted to designate a class of preferred stock entitled Series C Preferred Stock, consisting of up 200,000 shares, par value $0.001. Under the Certificate of Designation, holders of Series C Preferred Stock will rank junior to the Series B Preferred Stock, but on par with common stock and Series A Preferred Stock in any distribution upon winding up, dissolution, or liquidation of the company, as provided in the designation. The holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock have no dividend rights except as may be declared by the Board in its sole and absolute discretion, out of funds legally available for that purpose. Holders of Series B Preferred Stock do not have voting rights but may convert into common stock after twenty four months from the issuance date, at a conversion rate of one thousand (1,000) shares of Common Stock for every one (1) share of Series C Preferred Stock. Upon conversion, the shares are subject to a one-year leak-out restriction on sales into the market of no more than 5% previous month’s stock liquidity.

 

Dividend Policy

 

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our business. As a result, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

Nevada Anti-Takeover Laws

 

Nevada Revised Statutes sections 78.378 to 78.379 provide state regulation over the acquisition of a controlling interest in certain Nevada corporations unless the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the corporation provide that the provisions of these sections do not apply. Our articles of incorporation and bylaws do not state that these provisions do not apply. The statute creates a number of restrictions on the ability of a person or entity to acquire control of a Nevada company by setting down certain rules of conduct and voting restrictions in any acquisition attempt, among other things. The statute is limited to corporations that are organized in the state of Nevada and that have 200 or more stockholders, at least 100 of whom are stockholders of record and residents of the State of Nevada; and does business in the State of Nevada directly or through an affiliated corporation. Because of these conditions, the statute currently does not apply to our company.

 

Listing of Common Stock

 

Our Common Stock is currently quoted on the OTC Pink under the trading symbol “IQST.”

 

Transfer Agent and Registrar

 

The transfer agent and registrar of our Common Stock is West Coast Stock Transfer.

 

Penny Stock Regulation

 

The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) of less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share. Such securities are subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell them. For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser of such securities and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market. Finally, among other requirements, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. As the Shares immediately following this Offering will likely be subject to such penny stock rules, purchasers in this Offering will in all likelihood find it more difficult to sell their Shares in the secondary market.

Director Independence

 

The Board of Directors reviews the independence of our directors on the basis of standards adopted by the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”). As a part of this review, the Board of Directors considers transactions and relationships between our company, on the one hand, and each director, members of the director’s immediate family, and other entities with which the director is affiliated, on the other hand. The purpose of such a review is to determine which, if any, of such transactions or relationships were inconsistent with a determination that the director is independent under NASDAQ rules. As a result of this review, the Board of Directors has determined that none of our directors is an “independent director” within the meaning of applicable NASDAQ listing standards.

Our full board serves the functions that would normally be served by a separately-designated Audit Committee, Nominating Committee, and Compensation Committee. Further, we do not have an audit committee financial expert on the Board.

 

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

 

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors and executive officers and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of common stock and other equity securities of the Company. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial shareholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. To the best of our knowledge based solely on a review of Forms 3, 4, and 5 (and any amendments thereof) received by us, no persons have failed to file, on a timely basis, the identified reports required by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act during fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. Following the year end, all of the Form 3s were filed late for incoming management of Etelix.com USA LLC.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Shareholders and

Board of Directors of iQSTEL Inc.

 

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of iQSTEL Inc.(the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholder’s equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis of Opinion

 

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Substantial Doubt About the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

 

As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s working capital deficiency and lack of an established source of revenues raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of these consolidated financial statements. Management’s plans are also described in Note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

iQSTEL INC

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2019 and 2018

 

NOTE 1 -ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Organization and Operations

 

iQSTEL Inc. (“iQSTEL”, “we”, “us”, or the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on June 24, 2011 under the name of B-Maven Inc. The Company changed its name to PureSnax International, Inc. on September 18, 2015; and more recently it changed its name to iQSTEL Inc. on August 7, 2018.

 

The Company has been engaged in the business of telecommunication services as a wholesale carrier of voice and data for other telecom companies around the World with more than 200 active interconnection agreements with mobile companies, fix line companies and other wholesale carriers.

 

Stock split. Effective May 9, 2018, we effected a 1 for 19,152 reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). All references to shares of our common stock in this report on Form 10-K refers to the number of shares of common stock after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split (unless otherwise indicated).

 

Membership Interest Purchase Agreements and Reorganization

 

On June 25, 2018 (the “Effective Date”), iQSTEL entered into a membership purchase agreement with Etelix.com USA, LLC (“Etelix”) and became a 100% subsidiary of iQSTEL.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the membership interest purchase agreement, iQSTEL issued 13,751,875 shares of its unregistered common stock to the members of Etelix in exchange for their memberships interests in Etelix and as a result of the Purchase Agreements, Etelix became a wholly owned subsidiary of iQSTEL.

 

The Company entered into certain ancillary agreements (the “Ancillary Agreements”) noted in the Purchase Agreement, consisting of three Conversion Agreements the Company executed with Carmen Cabell, Patrick Gosselin and Mark Engler. The Conversion Agreements converted a portion of the Series A Preferred Stock held by these shareholders into shares of the Company’s common stock, and canceled the balance of the Series A Preferred Stock held by these shareholders. Following the execution of the Conversion Agreements, Mr. Gosselin owned 250,032 shares of common stock and no shares of preferred stock in the Company; Mr. Cabell owned 250,080 shares of common stock and no shares of preferred stock in the Company; and Mr. Engler owned 250,032 shares of common stock and no shares of preferred stock in the Company.

 

Recapitalization

 

For financial accounting purposes, this transaction was treated as a reverse acquisition by Etelix, and resulted in a recapitalization with Etelix being the accounting acquirer and iQSTEL as the acquired company. The consummation of this reverse acquisition resulted in a change of control. Accordingly, the historical financial statements prior to the acquisition are those of the accounting acquirer, Etelix and have been prepared to give retroactive effect to the reverse acquisition completed on June 25, 2018, and represent the operations of Etelix. The consolidated financial statements after the acquisition date, June 25, 2018 include the balance sheets of both companies at historical cost, the historical results of Etelix and the results of the Company from the acquisition date. All share and per share information in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and footnotes has been retroactively restated to reflect the recapitalization.

 

Acquisition

 

On April 1, 2019, the Company entered into a Company Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and between the Company and the Ralf Kohler (the “Seller”), which agreement provides for the purchase of 51% of the equity and certain assets of SwissLink Carrier AG (“SwissLink”) (www.swisslink-carrier.com), a Swiss corporation, by the Company.

iQSTEL INC

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2019 and 2018

 

NOTE 1 -ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS (CONTINUED)

 

The consideration for the acquisition consists of $500,000 USD, payable as follows:

 

·$50,000 USD shall be paid in cash upon execution of the Purchase Agreement; and  

 

·The balance of $450,000 USD shall be paid at Closing in the form of 187,500 shares of common stock in the Company based upon an agreed upon price of $2.40 per share. Additional shares may be payable at Closing, if the Company’s stock is valued at less than $2.40 per share, to account for the full $450,000 USD.  

 

On August 7, 2019, having completed all conditions under the Purchase Agreement, the Company closed the transaction with Seller, and paid $50,000 and issued a total of 343,512 shares of common stock at $1.31 per share to the Seller for the 51% equity interest and certain assets in SwissLink, including 51% of the loan in SwissLink.

 

The payment for the acquisition of SwissLink Carrier AG, was agreed to be done with $50,000 in cash and the balance of $450,000 in common shares of iQSTEL with an initial price per share of $2.40; giving us a number of 187,500 shares ($450,000 / 2.40 $ per shares = 187,500 shares) to be issue; but the purchase agreement included a clause to adjust the number of shares to be ultimately issued if the price of the shares was less than $2.40 at the closing date. Since at the closing date the price of the shares was $1.31 the total shares to be issued to the Seller should be 343,512, and this was the total shares finally issue to the Seller.

 

SwissLink Carrier AG is a provider of international telephone traffic around the globe, which trades international VoIP (voice over IP) telephone minutes through its Software Management platform named VAMP.

 

NOTE 2 -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements and related disclosures have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) of the United States. The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.

 

Consolidation Policy

 

For December 31, 2018, the consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Etelix.com USA, LLC and SwissLink Carrier AG. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Prior to June 25, 2018, the financial statements presented are those of Etelix.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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. 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 U.S. dollar in accordance with ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters”.

 

The Company’s and Etelix’s functional currency and reporting currency is the U.S. dollar, SwissLink’s functional currency is the Swiss Franc (“CHF”).

 

The Company’s subsidiaries, whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, translate their records into 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 in shareholders’ equity.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks, money market funds, and certificates of term deposits with maturities of less than three months from inception, which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which, in the opinion of management, are subject to an insignificant risk of loss in value.

 

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, 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. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had $0 and $313,414, respectively, in valuation allowance for doubtful accounts for the Company’s accounts receivable.

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable or that the useful lives of these assets are no longer appropriate. Each impairment test is based on a comparison of the undiscounted future cash flows to the recorded value of the asset. If impairment is indicated, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value.

 

Fixed Assets

 

Fixed assets, consisting of telecommuting equipment and software, is recorded at cost reduced by accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense is recognized over the assets’ estimated useful lives of 3 years for computers and laptops, 5 years for telecommunications equipment and switches; and 5 years for software using the straight-line method. Major additions and improvements are capitalized as additions to the property and equipment accounts, while replacements, maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the life of the respective assets, are expensed as incurred. Estimated useful lives are periodically reviewed and, when appropriate, changes are made prospectively. When certain events or changes in operating conditions occur, asset lives may be adjusted and an impairment assessment may be performed on the recoverability of the carrying amounts.

NOTE 2 -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Impairment of tangible and intangible assets

 

Tangible and intangible assets (excluding goodwill) are assessed at each reporting date for indications that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company makes an estimate of the asset's recoverable amount. The asset's recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's or cash-generating unit's fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset or a group of assets exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or the group of assets.

 

An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset's recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. If that is the case the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in profit or loss. After such a reversal the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset's revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life.

 

Goodwill

 

We allocate goodwill to reporting units based on the reporting unit expected to benefit from the business combination. We evaluate our reporting units on an annual basis and, if necessary, reassign goodwill using a relative fair value allocation approach. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment) on an annual basis and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. These events or circumstances could include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, or sale or disposition of a significant portion of a reporting unit.

 

Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assignment of assets and liabilities to reporting units, assignment of goodwill to reporting units, and determination of the fair value of each reporting unit. The fair value of each reporting unit is estimated primarily through the use of a discounted cash flow methodology. This analysis requires significant judgments, including estimation of future cash flows, which is dependent on internal forecasts, estimation of the long-term rate of growth for our business, estimation of the useful life over which cash flows will occur, and determination of our weighted average cost of capital.

 

The estimates used to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit change from year to year based on operating results, market conditions, and other factors. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and goodwill impairment for each reporting unit.

 

Retirement Benefit Costs

 

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due. Payments made to state-managed retirement benefit schemes are dealt with as payments to defined contribution schemes where the Company’s obligations under the schemes are equivalent to those arising in a defined contribution retirement benefit scheme.

 

For defined benefit schemes, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at each balance sheet date. Actuarial gains and losses are recognized in full in the period in which they occur. They are recognized outside the income statement and are presented in other comprehensive income. Past service cost is recognized immediately in the income statement in the period in which it occurs.

 

The retirement benefit obligation recognized in the balance sheet represents the present value of the defined obligation as adjusted for unrecognized past service cost, and as reduced by the fair value of the scheme assets. Any asset resulting from this calculation is limited to past service cost, plus the present value of available refunds and reductions in future contributions to the scheme.

NOTE 2 -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

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 year. 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 years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

 

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 that it will likely incur in the near future. 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 year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, 8 customers represented 70% of our revenues and 7 customers represented 71% of our revenues, respectively.

 

Financial Instruments

 

The Company follows ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” which defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (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. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

 

Level 1

 

Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2

 

Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

 

Level 3

 

Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

The carrying values of our financial instruments, including, cash and cash equivalents; accounts receivable; prepaid expenses; accounts payable and other payable and due to related parties approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturities of these financial instruments.

NOTE 2 -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free-market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm’s-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated. It is not, however, practical to determine the fair value of amounts due to related party’s due to their related party nature.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risks. We evaluate all of our financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company used a Black Scholes valuation model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and the tax basis of assets, liabilities, the carry forward of operating losses and tax credits, and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. An allowance against deferred tax assets is recorded when it is more likely than not that such tax benefits will not be realized.

 

Related Parties

 

The Company follows ASC 850, “Related Party Disclosures,” for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions (see Note 12).

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of products in accordance with ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” The Company recognizes revenue only when all of the following criteria have been met:

 

·Identify the contract(s) with a customer  

·Identify the performance obligations in the contract  

·Determine the transaction price.  

·Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.  

·Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.  

 

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 was reasonably assured. Persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement existed upon execution of a written interconnection agreement. The Company’s payment terms vary by clients.

 

Cost of revenue

 

Costs of revenue represent direct charges from vendors that the Company incurs to deliver services to its customers. These costs primarily consist of usage charges for calls terminated in vendor’s network.

Lease

 

The office lease meets the definition of a short-term lease because the lease term is 12 months or less. Consequently, consistent with Company’s accounting policy election, the Company does not recognize the right-of-use asset and the lease liability arising from this lease.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

 

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 are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has a working capital deficiency and it does not have an established source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and to allow it to continue as a going concern. In addition, as of December 31, 2019, the Company had a net loss of $5,442,738. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements. 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 and marketing expenses. 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.

 

NOTE 4 - ACQUISTION

 

On April 1, 2019, iQSTEL Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Company Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and between the Company and the Ralf Kohler (the “Seller”), which agreement provides for the purchase of 51% of the equity and certain assets of SwissLink Carrier AG (“SwissLink”) (www.swisslink-carrier.com), a Swiss corporation, by the Company for a consideration of $500,000.

 

On August 7, 2019, having completed all conditions under the Purchase Agreement, the Company closed the transaction with Seller, and paid $50,000 and issued a total of 343,512 shares of common stock at $1.31 per share to the Seller for the 51% equity interest and certain assets in SwissLink, including 51% of the loan in SwissLink.

The Company analyzed the conversion option for derivative accounting consideration under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and hedging, and determined that the instrument should be classified as a liability since the conversion option becomes effective at issuance resulting in there being no explicit limit to the number of shares to be delivered upon settlement of the above conversion options.

 

Fair Value Assumptions Used in Accounting for Derivative Liabilities.

 

ASC 815 requires we assess the fair market value of derivative liability at the end of each reporting period and recognize any change in the fair market value as other income or expense item.

NOTE 10 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITY (CONTINUED)

 

The Company determined our derivative liabilities to be a Level 3 fair value measurement and used the Black-Scholes pricing model to calculate the fair value as of December 31, 2019. The Black-Scholes model requires six basic data inputs: the exercise or strike price, time to expiration, the risk free interest rate, the current stock price, the estimated volatility of the stock price in the future, and the dividend rate. Changes to these inputs could produce a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. The fair value of each convertible note is estimated using the Black-Scholes valuation model.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the estimated fair values of the liabilities measured on a recurring basis are as follows:

NOTE 12 – PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

 

The Company provides for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations.

 

The components of the Company’s deferred tax asset and reconciliation of income taxes computed at the statutory rate to the income tax amount recorded as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, are as follows:

As of December 31, 2019, the Company has approximately $4,379,000 of net operating losses (“NOL”) generated to December 31, 2019 carried forward to offset taxable income in future years which expire commencing in fiscal 2037. NOLs generated in tax years prior to December 31, 2017, can be carryforward for twenty years, whereas NOLs generated after December 31, 2017 can be carryforward indefinitely. In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on the assessment, management has established a full valuation allowance against all of the deferred tax assets relating to NOLs for every period because it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

iQSTEL INC

Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2020

 

NOTE 1 -ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Organization and Operations

 

iQSTEL Inc. (“iQSTEL”, “we”, “us”, or the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on June 24, 2011 under the name of PureSnax International, Inc. and changed its name to iQSTEL Inc. on August 7, 2018.

 

The Company has been engaged in the business of telecommunication services as a wholesale carrier of voice, SMS and data for other telecom companies around the World with more than 150 active interconnection agreements with mobile companies, fix line companies and other wholesale carriers.

 

Acquisition

 

On April 15, 2020, we entered into a Company Acquisition Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Francisco Bunt regarding the acquisition of 51% of the shares in loT Labs, LLC (“loT Labs”). The loT Labs’ principal business activity is the sale of Short Messages (SMS) between USA and Mexico.

 

COVID-19

 

A novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) was first identified in December 2019, and subsequently declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020. As a result of the outbreak, many companies have experienced disruptions in their operations and in markets served. The Company has instituted some and may take additional temporary precautionary measures intended to help ensure the well-being of its employees and minimize business disruption. The Company considered the impact of COVID-19 on the assumptions and estimates used and determined that there were no material adverse impacts on the Company’s results of operations and financial position at September 30, 2020. The full extent of the future impacts of COVID-19 on the Company’s operations is uncertain. A prolonged outbreak could have a material adverse impact on financial results and business operations of the Company, including the timing and ability of the Company to collect accounts receivable and the ability of the Company to continue to provide high quality services to its clients. The Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require an update to its estimates or judgments or a revision of the carrying value of its assets or liabilities as of November 13 2020, the date of issuance of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These estimates may change, as new events occur and additional information is obtained.

 

NOTE 2 -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

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 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 September 30, 2020 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 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, 2019 filed with the SEC on April 15, 2020.

 

Consolidation Policy

 

The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and its owned subsidiaries, Etelix.com USA, LLC, SwissLink Carrier AG, ITSBCHAIN, LLC, QGLOBAL SMS, LLC and loT Labs, LLC. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 2 -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) 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. 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.

 

Foreign Currency Translation and Re-measurement

 

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

 

The Company’s, Etelix’s, ITSBCHAIN, LLC’s, QGLOBAL SMS, LLC’s and loT Labs LLC’s functional currency and reporting currency is the U.S. dollar, SwissLink’s functional currency is the Swiss Franc (“CHF”).

 

SwissLink translates their records into U.S. dollars 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 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, 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. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had no valuation allowance for doubtful accounts for the Company’s accounts receivable and recorded no bad debt expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

 

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 that it will likely incur in the near future. 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; however, management believes that there is no unusual risk present, as the Company places its cash with financial institutions which management considers being of high quality.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, fourteen customers represented 80% of our consolidated revenues. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, six customers represented 79% of our consolidated revenues. 39% of the revenue comes from customers under prepayment conditions which means there is no credit or bad debt risk on that portion of the customers portfolio.

NOTE 2 -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

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

 

Lease

 

The Company leases office space for corporate and network monitoring activities and to house telecommunications equipment.

 

In accordance with ASC 842, “Leases”, we determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception.

 

The office lease meets the definition of a short-term lease because the lease term is 12 months or less. Consequently, consistent with Company’s accounting policy election, the Company does not recognize the right-of-use asset and the lease liability arising from this lease.

 

Retirement Benefit Costs

 

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due. Payments made to state-managed retirement benefit schemes are dealt with as payments to defined contribution schemes where the Company’s obligations under the schemes are equivalent to those arising in a defined contribution retirement benefit scheme.

 

For defined benefit schemes, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at each balance sheet date. Actuarial gains and losses are recognized in full in the period in which they occur. They are recognized outside the income statement and are presented in other comprehensive income. Past service cost is recognized immediately in the income statement in the period in which it occurs.

 

The retirement benefit obligation recognized in the balance sheet represents the present value of the defined obligation as adjusted for unrecognized past service cost, and as reduced by the fair value of the scheme assets. Any asset resulting from this calculation is limited to past service cost, plus the present value of available refunds and reductions in future contributions to the scheme.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

 

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 financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company does not have significant cash, nor does it have an established source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and to allow it to continue as a going concern. In addition, the Company incurred a net loss of $3,501,963 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and has negative working capital as of September 30, 2020. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements. The 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 and marketing expenses. 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.

 

NOTE 4 - ACQUISITION

 

On April 15, 2020, we entered into a Company Acquisition Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Francisco Bunt regarding the acquisition of 51% of the shares in loT Labs. The Company’s principal business activity is the sale of Short Messages (SMS) between USA and Mexico.

 

We have agreed to pay a total of $180,000 for the 51% interest in the Company. The consideration shall occur with an installment of $60,000 on the date of the execution of the Agreement, followed by a second payment of $60,000 at closing and a final payment of $60,000 that is set to occur 60 days following the closing date. Under the Agreement, Mr. Bunt has the right to request that any of the aforementioned payments be made in shares of our common stock, which the parties have agreed to value at $2.00 per share. The shares are subject to adjustment after 180 days and up to 360 days after issuance if our stock trades at less than $2.00 per share. The Agreement provides for a right of return to Mr. Bunt of the shares in the Company if we fail to make timely payments.

 

The following table summarizes the fair value of the consideration paid by the Company and the fair value amounts assigned to the assets acquired on the acquisition date:

The Company determined that the conversion option in the notes met the definition of liabilities in accordance with ASC Topic No. 815 - 40, “Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Stock.” The Company will bifurcate the embedded conversion options in the notes once the notes become convertible and account for them as derivative liabilities.

The fair value of the derivative liability for all the note and warrants that became convertible for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, amounted to $2,047,278. $1,006,642 of the value assigned to the derivative liability was recognized as a debt discount to the notes while the balance of $1,040,636 was recognized as a “day 1” derivative loss.

 

The fair value of the derivative liability for all the notes and warrants that became convertible for the year ended December 31, 2019 amounted to $4,916,471. $1,313,350 of the value assigned to the derivative liability was recognized as a debt discount to the notes while the balance of $3,603,121 was recognized as a “day 1” derivative loss.

NOTE 10 - DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

 

The Company analyzed the conversion options for derivative accounting consideration under ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” and determined that the instrument should be classified as a liability since the conversion options become effective at issuance resulting in there being no explicit limit to the number of shares to be delivered upon settlement of the above conversion options.

 

Fair Value Assumptions Used in Accounting for Derivative Liabilities.

 

ASC 815 requires we assess the fair market value of derivative liability at the end of each reporting period and recognize any change in the fair market value as other income or expense item.

 

The Company determined our derivative liabilities to be a Level 3 fair value measurement and used the Black-Scholes pricing model to calculate the fair value as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The Black-Scholes model requires six basic data inputs: the exercise or strike price, time to expiration, the risk-free interest rate, the current stock price, the estimated volatility of the stock price in the future, and the dividend rate. Changes to these inputs could produce a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. The fair value of each convertible note is estimated using the Black-Scholes valuation model.

 

The estimated fair values of the liabilities measured on a recurring basis are as follows:

On November 1, 2020, our board of directors approved amended employments in favor of our Chief Executive Officer, Leandro Iglesias, our Chief Financial Officer, Alvaro Quintana, and our Chief Commercial Officer, Juan Carlos Lopez Silva.

 

The amended employment agreement in favor of Mr. Iglesias extended the term of employment from 36 months to 60 months. The now five year employment agreement with Mr. Iglesias provides that we will compensate him with a salary of $17,000 monthly and he is eligible for quarterly bonus of 250,000 shares of our common stock. If we do not have the cash available, the agreement provides that Mr. Iglesias may convert his accrued salary/bonus into shares of our common stock or newly created Series A Preferred Stock. For common shares, the amount of accrued salary to be converted into shares must be determined by considering the average price per share of the Company’s common stock on the OTC Markets during the last 10 days and applying a discount of 25%.” For Series A Preferred Shares, the amount of accrued salary to be converted into shares is the per share conversion price for common shares multiplied by ten US Dollars ($10). Mr. Iglesias has a further right to convert any common shares under his control into Series A Preferred shares at any time at a rate of ten (10) common shares for each Series A Preferred share.

 

The amended employment agreement in favor of Mr. Quintana extended the term of employment from 36 months to 60 months. The now five year employment agreement with Mr. Quintana provides that he is eligible for quarterly bonus of 200,000 shares of our common stock. If we do not have the cash available, the agreement provides that Mr. Quintana may convert his accrued salary/bonus into shares of our common stock or newly created Series A Preferred Stock. For common shares, the amount of accrued salary to be converted into shares must be determined by considering the average price per share of the Company’s common stock on the OTC Markets during the last 10 days and applying a discount of 25%.” For Series A Preferred Shares, the amount of accrued salary to be converted into shares is the per share conversion price for common shares multiplied by ten US Dollars ($10). Mr. Quintana has a further right to convert any common shares under his control into Series A Preferred shares at any time at a rate of ten (10) common shares for each Series A Preferred share.

 

The amended employment agreement in favor of Mr. Silva extended the term of employment from 36 months to 60 months. Mr. Silva is eligible for quarterly bonuses of 150,000 shares of our common stock. If we do not have the cash available, the agreement provides that Mr. Iglesias may convert his accrued salary/bonus into shares of our common stock at the average price of our common stock during the last 10 days after applying a discount of 25%.

 

On November 3, 2020, pursuant to Article III of our Articles of Incorporation, our Board of Directors voted to designate a class of preferred stock entitled Series A Preferred Stock, consisting of up 10,000 shares, par value $0.001. Under the Certificate of Designation, holders of Series A Preferred Stock will participate on an equal basis per-share with holders of our common stock in any distribution upon winding up, dissolution, or liquidation. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote together with the holders of our common stock on all matters submitted to shareholders at a rate of 51% of the total vote of shareholders.

 

The rights of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock are defined in the relevant Certificate of Designation filed with the Nevada Secretary of State on November 3, 2020
