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 June 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 August 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 June 30, 2020 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the six months ended June 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. 8 iQSTEL INC Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements June 30, 2020 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. June 30, December 31, 2020 2019Spot CHF: USD exchange rate1.05601.0333Average CHF: USD exchange rate1.03791.0122All values are in US Dollars. 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 June 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 six months ended June 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, twelve customers represented 83% of our consolidated revenues. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, eight customers represented 81% of our consolidated revenues. 9 iQSTEL INC Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements June 30, 2020 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 $2,531,738 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and has negative working capital as of June 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. 10 iQSTEL INC Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements June 30, 2020 NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN (CONTINUED) 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.

Certain notes allow the Company to redeem the notes at rates ranging from 110% to 150% depending on the redemption date provided that no redemption is allowed after the 180th day.

Derivative liabilities 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 Company valued the conversion features of convertible notes and warrants using the Black Scholes valuation model. The fair value of the derivative liability for all the note and warrants that became convertible for the six months ended June 30, 2020, amounted to $426,390. $331,499 of the value assigned to the derivative liability was recognized as a debt discount to the notes while the balance of $94,891 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. 15 iQSTEL INC Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements June 30, 2020 NOTE 9 - CONVERTIBLE NOTES (CONTINUED) Warrants A summary of activity during the six months ended June 30, 2020 follows: Warrants Outstanding Weighted Average Shares Exercise Price Outstanding, December 31, 2019367,3430.48Granted4,500,000-Reset10,813,0010.012Cashless Exercised(7,013,677)-Forfeited/canceled--Outstanding, June 30, 20208,666,6670.006All values are in US Dollars. The reset feature of warrants associated with the convertible notes was effective at the time that a separate convertible note with lower exercise price was issued. As a result of the reset features for warrants, the warrants increased by 10,813,001 at $0.0012 per share. We accounted for the issuance of the warrants as a liability and recognized the derivative liability. The following table summarizes information relating to outstanding and exercisable warrants as of June 30, 2020: Warrants Outstanding Warrants Exercisable Number of Shares Weighted Average Remaining Contractual life (in years) Weighted Average Exercise Price Number of Shares Weighted Average Exercise Price8,666,667 0.790.006 8,666,6670.006All values are in US Dollars. The intrinsic value of the warrants as of June 30, 2020 is $667,600. 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 June 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. 16 iQSTEL INC Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements June 30, 2020 NOTE 10 - DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES (CONTINUED) The estimated fair values of the liabilities measured on a recurring basis are as follows: Six Months Ended Year Ended June 30, December31, 2020 2019Expected term 0.06 - 6.00 years 0.03 - 5.00 yearsExpected average volatility 139% - 550% 4% - 639%Expected dividend yield - -Risk-free interest rate 0.05% - 2.56% 1.44% - 2.57% The following table summarizes the changes in the derivative liabilities during the six months ended June 30, 2020: Fair Value Measurements Using Significant Observable Inputs (Level 3) Balance - December 31, 2019 4,744,134 Addition of new derivatives recognized as debt discounts 331,499Addition of new derivatives recognized as loss on derivatives 94,891Settled on issuance of common stock (3,661,588)Change in fair value of the derivative (349,139)Balance - June 30, 2020 1,159,797All values are in US Dollars.

NOTE 15 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Subsequent to June 30, 2020 and through the date that these financials were made available, the Company had the following subsequent events: On July 14, 2020, we entered into a Subscription Agreement with Alpha Capital Anstalt (“Purchaser”), pursuant to which we issued and sold to the Purchaser 2,000,000 shares of our common stock (the “Shares”) for total proceeds of $160,000. The Shares were sold at $0.08 per share, after applying a 20% discount to the purchase price of $0.10 per share. The Shares were offered and sold pursuant to qualified offering circular on Form 1-A (File No. 024-10950) and related supplement, in each case filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. A copy of the form of Subscription Agreement used in the offer and sale is attached as Exhibit 13.1 to the Form 1-A/A filed with the SEC on June 3, 2019. Also on July 14, 2020, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) with Purchaser for the sale of a convertible promissory note, executed on July 15, 2019, in the principal amount of $200,000 (the “Note”). We received $160,000 after paying a $40,000 original issue discount on the Note. The Note bears interest at 5% per annum and matures one year from the date of issuance. After 180 days from issuance, the Note may be converted by purchaser into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of the lesser of (i) $0.025 or (ii) 40% of the lowest trading price of our common stock in the 20 days preceding the issuance date of the Note. As additional consideration for the Note, we issued to Purchaser a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase 2,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.02 per share (subject to adjustment as set forth in the Warrant) expiring six months from the date of issuance. On July 01, 2020, we entered into a 60-day term bridge loan with Apollo Management Group for the principal amount of $73,684.21 bearing interest at the rate of Twelve (12%) percent per annum, commencing on the date such Loan is funded until the date the Loan is paid in full.
On July 22, 2020, we entered into an Exchange Agreement with Jefferson Street Capital LLC, whereby we agreed to exchange a February 22, 2019 Common Stock Purchase Warrant and June 27, 2019 Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $35,000 into a total of 650,000 shares of our common stock.

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) is a leading-edge 21st Century Enhanced Telecommunications Service Provider offering a wide range of cloud-based enhanced services to the Tier-1 and Tier-2 carriers, enterprise market, as well as the retail market. iQSTEL offers international and domestic VoIP services, SMS exchange for A2P and P2P, Internet of Things (IoT) applications, 4G & 5G international infrastructure connectivity, as well as blockchain-based payment and phone number mobility platforms to international and domestic Tier-1 carrier for VoIP, SMS, and Data. Our principal place of business is located at 300 Aragon Avenue, Suite 375 Coral Gables, FL 33134. General information about us can be found at www.iqstel.com. The information contained on or connected to our website 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 June 30, 2020 was $11,130,086, compared with $4,253,359 for the three months ended June 30, 2019. These numbers reflect an increase of 161.68% quarter over quarter on our consolidated revenues. Our total revenue reported for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $16,147,498, compared with $8,416,562 for the six months ended June 30, 2019. When looking at the numbers by subsidiary, we have the following breakout for the six months ended June 30, 2020: Subsidiary Revenue Six Months Ended June 30, 2020Etelix.com USA, LLC7,221,344Swisslink Carrier AG2,381,204QGlobal LLC163,546IoT Labs LLC6,381,404 16,147,498All 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. Cost of Revenues Our total cost of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2020 increased to $10,397,778, compared with $4,345,087 for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Our total cost of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased to $15,576,331, compared with $8,072,713 for the six months ended June 30, 2019. 23 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 reac-hed a higher volume of sales and every additional unit sold (minutes and SMS) has its corresponding termination cost. Operating Expenses Operating expenses increased to $905,016 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from $341,553 for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Operating expenses increased to $2,202,543 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from $532,060 for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The detail by major category for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 is reflected in the table below. Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 2019Salaries, Wages and Benefits562,427162,242Technology28,10094,847Professional Fees214,853162,662Legal & Regulatory3,224-Bad debts76,375-Travel & Events1,3413,375Public Cost49,73219,432Advertising583,07950,000Bank Services and Fees35,926-Depreciation and Amortization31,14019,281Office, Facility and Other116,31220,221 Sub Total1,702,509532,060 Stock-based compensation500,034-Total Operating Expense2,202,543532,060All values are in US Dollars. The main reasons for the overall increase in operating expenses for the six months ended June 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 one subsidiary and corporate costs of iQSTEL; as shown in the table below. Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 2019 DifferenceiQSTEL1,587,992315,6381,272,354Etelix184,100216,422-32,322Swisslink328,483-328,483ItsBchain52,684-52,684QGlobal29,952-29,952IoT Labs19,332-19,332 2,202,543532,0601,670,483All values are in US Dollars. 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 June 30, 2020 of $172,708 compared with a negative result of $433,281 for the three months ended June 30, 2019; which is a positive variation quarter over quarter. The Company showed negative Operating Income for the six months ended June 30, 2020 of $1,627,117 compared with a negative result of $188,211 for the six months ended June 30, 2019. 24 The increase of the numbers for the six month period above is primarily due to the costs associated with the operation of the public entity (iQSTEL, Inc.) estimated in the amount of $1,587,992. When looking at the results of our operating subsidiaries, we notice a very good performance of each of them, particularly in the three months ended in June 30, 2020.

Other Expenses/Other Income We had other income of $1,550,173 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, as compared with other expenses of $50,960 for the same period ended 2019. We had other expenses of $900,362 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, as compared with other expenses of $1,321,608 for the same period ended 2019. The decrease in other expenses is a result of the positive change in fair value of derivative liabilities, and the gain on settlement of debts of $283,230. Net Income We finished the three months ended June 30, 2020 with a net income of $1,377,465, as compared to a loss of $484,241 during the three months ended June 30, 2019. We finished the six months ended June 30, 2020 with a loss of $2,531,738, as compared to a loss of $1,509,819 during the six months ended June 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 $678,353 year over year to total $1,454,515; and (2) the Operating Expenses of the public entity of $1,587,992. Liquidity and Capital Resources As of June 30, 2020, we had total current assets of $3,853,302 and current liabilities of $8,515,969, resulting in a working capital deficit of $4,662,667. 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 $509,050 in the cash position and a reduction of $3,584,337 in the derivative liabilities. 25 Our operating activities used $1,126,307 in the six months ended June 30, 2020 as compared with $667,737 used in operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 2019. Investing activities provided $2,550 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Uses of funds on investing activities were the purchase of property and equipment for value of $58,832 and net payment of loans between related parties of $14,399. Main source of funds in the Investing activities was resulting from the acquisition of subsidiary IoT Labs of $75,781. Financing activities provided $1,626,500 in the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared with $743,653 provided in the six months ended June 30, 2019. Our positive financing cash flow in 2020 was largely the result of the net proceeds from loans $483,690, net proceeds from convertible notes $782,810; and proceed from the subscription of new common stocks under our Regulation A offering $360,000. 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 six month period ended June 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 June 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. 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. 26 Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of June 30, 2020. 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 six month period ended June 30, 2020, 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. 27 PART II – OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings We are not a party to any material pending legal proceeding. We are not aware of any pending legal proceeding to which any of our officers, directors, or any beneficial holders of 5% or more of our voting securities are adverse to us or have a material interest adverse to us. Item 1A: Risk Factors See Risk Factors contained in our Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 15, 2020. Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds The information set forth below relates to our issuances of securities without registration under the Securities Act of 1933. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we issued: ·4,500,000 shares issued for cash of $360,000 ·4,508,510 shares issued for settlement of debt of $269,840 ·4,173,000 shares issued for services valued at $450,034 ·50,000 shares issued for forbearance of debt of $2,900 ·33,821,613 shares issued for conversion of debt of $701,500 ·3,233,586 shares issued for cashless exercised warrant These securities were issued pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506 promulgated thereunder.
