(“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, SMS and data for other telecom companies around the World with more than 150 active interconnection agreements with mobile companies, fixed line companies and other wholesale carriers. 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 March 31, 2021. 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 May 14, 2021, 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 Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not contain all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 March 31, 2021 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 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, 2020 filed with the SEC on April 15, 2021. 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 IoT Labs, LLC. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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. 8 iQSTEL INC Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements March 31, 2021 NOTE 2 -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 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, Etelix’s, QGlobal’s and IoT Labs’ 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. 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. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not record bad debt expense. Net Income (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock The Company has adopted ASC 260, ”Earnings per Share” which requires presentation of basic earnings per share on the face of the statements of operations for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic earnings per share computation. In the accompanying financial statements, basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the 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 March 31, 2021 and 2020. 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 three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, 4 customers represented 86% of our revenues and 12 customers represented 83% of our revenues, respectively.]()
The Company's consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company hassuffered recurring losses from operations, has a working capital deficiency and does not have an established source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company loaned $0 and $13,399 to a related party, respectively.
During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded management fees of $135,000 and $126,000, bonus of $564,000 and $0 and paid $143,212 and $28,600, respectively.
Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
[Forward-Looking Statements Certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believes,” “project,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe-harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are including this statement for purposes of complying with those safe-harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects on a consolidated basis include, but are not limited to: changes in economic conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, availability of capital, interest rates, competition, and generally accepted accounting principles. These risks and uncertainties should also be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Further information concerning our business, including additional factors that could materially affect our financial results, is included herein and in our other filings with the SEC. Overview iQSTEL Inc. (the “Company”) (OTC Pink: IQST) (www.iqstel.com) is a technology company offering a wide array of services to global telecommunications and technology industries with presence in 13 countries. The Company has an extensive portfolio of products and services for its clients such as: SMS, VoIP, 4G & 5G international infrastructure connectivity, Cloud-PBX, OmniChannel Marketing, IoT services, blockchain and payment solutions. These services are grouped within three business divisions: Telecom, Technology and Fintech. The company operates its business through its wholly-owned subsidiary Etelix.com USA, LLC (“Etelix”) (www.etelix.com); and its majority-owned subsidiaries SwissLink Carrier AG (www.swisslink-carrier.com), QGlobal SMA (https://www.qglobalsms.com/), Smart Gas (http://iotsmartgas.com/) and ItsBChain (http://itsbchain.com/). The information contained on our websites is not incorporated by reference into this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and should not be considered part of this or any other report filed with the SEC. Results of Operations Revenues Our total revenue reported for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $14,197,611, compared with $5,017,412 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. These numbers reflect an increase of 182.97% quarter over quarter on our consolidated revenues. When looking at the numbers by subsidiary, we have the following breakout for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020: Revenue Revenue Three Months Three Months Ended Ended Subsidiary March 31, 2021 March 31, 2020Etelix.com USA, LLC3,560,3863,820,533SwissLink Carrier AG1,135,8021,196,879QGlobal LLC250,014-IoT Labs LLC9,251,409- 14,197,6115,017,412All values are in US Dollars. 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. 19 Cost of Revenues Our total cost of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2021 increased to $13,710,241, compared with $5,178,553 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. When looking at the numbers by subsidiary, we have the following breakout for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020: Cost of Revenue Cost of Revenue Three Months Three Months Ended Ended Subsidiary March 31, 2021 March 31, 2020Etelix.com USA, LLC3,435,2004,121,184SwissLink Carrier AG1,009,3821,057,369QGlobal LLC203,194-IoT Labs LLC9,062,465- 13,710,2415,178,553All values are in US Dollars. Our cost of revenues consists of direct charges from vendors that the Company incurs to deliver services to its customers. These costs primarily consist of usage charges for calls and SMS terminated in vendor’s network. The behavior in the costs shows a logical correlation with the behavior of the revenue commented above. We have reached a higher volume of sales and every additional unit sold (minutes and SMS) has its corresponding termination cost. Gross Margin Our gross margin, which is simply the difference between our revenues and our cost of sales, discussed above, increased from a negative result of $161,141 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 to a positive result of $487,370 for the three months ended March 31,2021. 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 increased to $1,498,111 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from $1,297,527 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The detail by major category is reflected in the table below.

The most significant difference is generated by iQSTEL which is due to the following: (1) the Professional Fees, including the Audit and Accounting expenses related to the audit of year 2020, which covered iQSTEL and all its operating subsidiaries; and (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. Operating Income The Company showed negative Operating Income for the three months ended March 31, 2021 of $1,010,741 compared with a negative result of $1,458,668 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Even though the Company increased its Operating Expenses in $200,584 comparing the three months ended March 31, 2021 to the same period of 2020; the Operating Loss was reduced in $447,927 due to a Gross Margin increase of $648,511 when comparing the three months ended March 31, 2021 to the same period of 2020. Other Expenses/Other Income We had other expenses of $867,748 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, as compared with other expenses of $2,450,535 for the same period ended 2020. The decrease in other expenses is a result of the change in fair value of derivative liabilities in $1,937,598 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period ended 2020, and the decrease of interest expenses in $171,349 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period ended 2020. Net Loss We finished the three months ended March 31, 2021 with a net comprehensive loss attributed to shareholders of iQSTEL Inc. of $1,942,391, as compared to a loss of $3,890,490 during the three months ended March 31, 2020. Liquidity and Capital Resources As of March 31, 2021, we had total current assets of $5,834,649 and current liabilities of $6,408,601, resulting in a working capital deficit of $573,952. This compares with the working capital deficit of $4,330,355 at December 31, 2020. This decrease in working capital deficit, as discussed in more detail below, is primarily the result of the increase of $2,279,321 in the cash position and a reduction of $1,239,736 in the derivative liabilities and convertible notes. Our operating activities used $1,042,192 in the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared with $541,884 used in operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2020. Our cash flow from operations varies depending on our operating results and the timing of operating cash receipts and payments, specifically trade accounts receivable and trade accounts payable. Our negative operating cash flows in 2021 and 2020 is largely the result of our net loss for the years. Investing activities used $78,346 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Uses of funds on investing activities were the acquisition of subsidiary IoT Labs of $60,000 and the acquisition of property and equipment of $18,346. Financing activities provided $3,416,581 in the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared with $586,874 provided in the three months ended March 31, 2020. Our positive financing cash flow in 2021 was largely the result of the net proceeds from the subscription of new common stocks under our Regulation A offering $3,586,250. 21 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 80,000,000 common stocks. 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 three month period ended March 31, 2021. Critical Accounting Polices A “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results, and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Our accounting policies are discussed in detail in the footnotes to our financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2021; however, we consider our critical accounting policies to be those related to allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of assets, significant estimates in the valuation of convertible debt and income taxes. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. See the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report for a complete discussion of our significant accounting policies. Off Balance Sheet Arrangements As of March 31, 2021, there were no off-balance sheet arrangements. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (ASU 2019-12), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes. This guidance will be effective for entities for the fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020 on a prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. We will adopt the new standard effective January 1, 2021 and do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, ASC Subtopic 470-20 “Debt—Debt with “Conversion and Other Options” and ASC subtopic 815-40 “Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity”. The standard reduced the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. Convertible instruments that continue to be subject to separation models are (1) those with embedded conversion features that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract, that meet the definition of a derivative, and that do not qualify for a scope exception from derivative accounting; and, (2) convertible debt instruments issued with substantial premiums for which the premiums are recorded as paid-in capital. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements. 22 Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk We are a smaller reporting company and are not required to provide the information under this item pursuant to Regulation S-K. Item 4. Controls and Procedures Disclosure Controls and Procedures - Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this report. These controls are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of March 31, 2021. Our management identified the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which are indicative of many small companies with small staff: (i) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; and (ii) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both US GAAP and SEC guidelines. We believe that our financial statements presented in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for all periods presented herein. Inherent Limitations - Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdown can occur because of simple error or mistake. In particular, many of our current processes rely upon manual reviews and processes to ensure that neither human error nor system weakness has resulted in erroneous reporting of financial data. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting - There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three month period ended March 31, 2021, which were identified in conjunction with management’s evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. 23 PART II – OTHER INFORMATION Item 1.
