FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
Statements made in this Form 10-Q that are not historical or current facts are forward-looking statements. These statements often can be identified by the use of terms such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “approximate” or “continue,” or the negative thereof. We wish to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Any forward-looking statements represent management’s best judgment as to what may occur in the future. However, forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and important factors beyond our control that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from historical results of operations and events and those presently anticipated or projected. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements are the following: the Company’s ability to obtain necessary capital, the Company’s ability to meet anticipated development timelines, the Company’s ability to protect its proprietary technology and knowhow, the Company’s ability to establish a global market, the Company’s ability to successfully consummate future acquisitions, and such other risk factors identified from time to time in the Company’s reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including those filed with this Form 10-Q quarterly report. We disclaim any obligation to subsequently revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statement or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

SKKYNET CLOUD SYSTEMS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Skkynet Cloud Systems, Inc. (“Skkynet” or “the Company”) is a Nevada corporation formed on August 31, 2011 and headquartered in Toronto, Canada. Skkynet operates its business through its wholly owned subsidiaries Cogent Real-Time Systems, Inc. (“Cogent”), Skkynet Corp. (Canada) and Skkynet, Inc. (USA). Skkynet was formed primarily for the purpose of taking the existing business lines of Cogent and its current and future customers and integrating these businesses with Cloud based systems. We also intend to expand the areas of business activity to which the kinds of products and services we provide are applied.
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s October 31, 2023 Annual Report on form 10-K filed with the SEC. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the consolidated financial statements for the most recent fiscal year end October 31, 2023 as reported on Form 10-K, have been omitted.
Certain prior period amounts were reclassified to conform to the manner of presentation in the current period. The reclassifications have no effect on the net loss or stockholders’ equity.
NOTE 2- RECENT ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Recent adopted accounting standards
In June 2016, the Financials Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-Financial Instruments- Credit Losses, which replaces the incurred impairment methodology to reflect expected credit losses. The amendments requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting due to the performed based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable supportable forecasts. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 31, 2022. The Company adopted the standard on October 31, 2023. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016–10 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing. The amendments in this Update do not change the core principle of the guidance in Topic 606. Rather, the amendments in this Update clarify the following two aspects of Topic 606: identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance, while retaining the related principles for those areas. Topic 606 includes implementation guidance on (a) contracts with customers to transfer goods and services in exchange for consideration and (b) determining whether an entity’s promise to grant a license provides a customer with either a right to use the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied at a point in time) or a right to access the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied over time). The amendments are intended to render more detailed implementation guidance with the expectation to reduce the degree of judgement necessary to comply with Topic 606.
| 8 |
| Table of Contents |
ASC Topic 606 prescribes a new five-step model entities should follow in order to recognize revenue in accordance with the core principle. These five steps are:
| 1. | Identify the contract(s) with a customer. |
| 2. | Identify the performance obligations in the contract. |
| 3. | Determine the transaction price. |
| 4. | Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract. |
| 5. | Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfied the performance obligations. |
Effective November 1, 2018, the Company implemented the transition using the modified retrospective method of transition. Under this method, the determination date of open contracts which could affect any adjustments was November 1, 2018. The open contracts at the time period are the unfulfilled portions of the maintenance contracts.
The Company has four revenue streams, each of which the revenue is recognized in accordance to the five steps included in Topic 606. The revenue streams are:
| 1. | Sale of software direct to the end customer |
| 2. | Sale of software through distributors and channel partners |
| 3. | Maintenance support services |
| 4. | Cloud services |
Revenue for the sale of software both directly to end users and through the distributor and channel partners is recognized upon delivery of the software and code required for the customer to install the software. Maintenance support services are recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the service period of the arrangement.
Revenue from cloud services is recognized over time (typically, on a monthly basis) as service is provided.
Payments received in advance of services being rendered are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized to revenue when earned. During the three months period ended January 31, 2024 $
Accounts Receivable
Accounts Receivable are carried at face value less any provisions for uncollectible accounts considered necessary. Accounts receivable include receivables from customers that have received software and support from the Company. Bad debt expense is a recognition of uncollectable receivables based on past years’ experience and management’s estimate of likely losses for the year. No allowance for bad debt was considered necessary for the years ended October 31, 2023 and October 31, 2022, respectively. However, the Company expensed $

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This report contains forward looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Skkynet’s actual results could differ materially from those set forth on the forward-looking statements as a result of the risks set forth in Skkynet’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, general economic conditions, and changes in the assumptions used in making such forward looking statements.
OVERVIEW
Skkynet is a Nevada corporation headquartered in Mississauga, Canada. Skkynet operates three different lines of business through its wholly owned subsidiaries Cogent Real-Time Systems, Inc. (“Cogent”), Skkynet, Inc. (“Skkynet (USA)”), and Skkynet Corp. (“Skkynet (Canada)”). Skkynet was established to enhance Cogent’s existing business lines through the integration of Cloud-based systems, and to deliver a Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) product targeting the Industrial Internet of Things (“IoT”) market, now referred to by the terms “Industry 4.0” and “Industrial Internet Consortium”.
The Company provides software and related systems and facilities to collect, process, and distribute real-time information over a network. This capability allows the customers to both locally and remotely manage, supervise, and control industrial processes and financial information systems. By using this software and, when requested by a client, our web based assets, our clients and their relevant customers are given the ability and the tools to observe and interact with these processes and services in real-time as they are underway and to give them the power to analyze, alter, stop, or otherwise influence these activities to conform to their plans.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the three month period ended January 31, 2024, revenue was $630,536 compared to $492,119 for the same period in 2023. Revenue increased for the three month period ended January 31, 2024 over the same period in 2023 by 28.1%. The increase in revenue for the three month period is attributed to higher sales by Cogent.
Operating expense was $592,180 for the three months period ended January 31, 2024 compared to $625,964 for the same period in 2023. The decrease in general and administrative expenses for the three month period ended January 31, 2024 over the same period in 2023, resulted from decreased expenditures primarily in advertising and stock compensation.
For the three month period ended January 31, 2024, the Company reported an operating income of $38,356 compared to operating loss of $133,845 for the same period in 2023. The operating income during the three month period ended January 31, 2024 over the operating loss for same period in 2023 is attributable to higher sales along with lower expenses in advertising and stock compensation expenses in the three month period ended January 31, 2024, versus the same period in 2023.
Other expense for the three month period ended January 31, 2024 was $16,972, consisting of other income of $2,987 and a currency loss of $19,959. This compared to other expenses of $13,361 consisting of other income of $10 and currency loss of $13,371 for the same period in 2023. The amount of change in both periods was due mostly to the effect of currency exchange.

Net income after income taxes of $21,384 was reported for the three month period ended January 31, 2024, compared to a net loss after income taxes of $147,206 for the same period in 2023. The net income for the three month period in 2024 can be attributed to an increase of sales of 28.1% more than during the same period in 2023. Additionally, the operating expenses for the three month period ended January 31, 2024 was $33,784 less than the same period in 2023.
Net income to common stockholders was $18,479 for the three month period ended January 31, 2024, compared to net loss of $150,111 for the same period in 2023. The reduced amounts include the expense of dividend for preferred stockholders of $2,905 being accrued for the three months period ended January 31, 2024 and 2023
The Company reported comprehensive income of $23,951 for the three month period ended January 31, 2024 compared to a comprehensive loss of $144,627 for the same period in 2023. The comprehensive loss is an adjustment to net loss with foreign currency translation adjustments.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At January 31, 2024, Skkynet had current assets of $1,309,512 and current liabilities of $554,119, resulting in working capital of $755,393. Accumulated deficit, as of January 31, 2024, was $6,540,298 with total stockholders’ equity of $759,480.
Net cash used in operating activities for the three month period ended January 31, 2024, was $12 compared to net cash provided in operating activities of $36,690 for the same period in 2023. The cash used in operating activities for the three month period ended January 31, 2024 compared to the cash provided by operating activities over the same period in 2023 was primarily due an increase in accounts receivable and deferred revenue in 2024 over 2023.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the three month period ending January 31, 2024 was zero compared to net used in financing activities of $4,118 for the same period in 2023. The repayment of loans during the three months ended January 31, 2023 accounted for the use of funds during that period.

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.
ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2024 using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework- 2013. Based on its evaluation, our management concluded that there are material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. We lack full time personnel in accounting and financial staff to sufficiently monitor and process financial transactions in an efficient and timely manner. Our history of losses has severely limited our budget to hire and train enough accounting and financial personnel needed to adequately provide this function. Consequently, we lacked sufficient technical expertise, reporting standards and written policies and procedures along with a lack of a formal review process which includes multiple layers of review. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during our most recent quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Our management believes that the Unaudited Financial Statements included herein present, in all material respects, the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
