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 (“GAAP”) for annual financial statements. F- 5 Table of Contents In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated 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, 2024 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future period. These unaudited consolidated 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, 2023 filed with the SEC on April 1, 2024. Reclassification Certain accounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Consolidation Policy The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and its owned subsidiaries, Etelix.com USA, LLC (“Etelix”), SwissLink Carrier AG (“Swisslink”), ITSBCHAIN, LLC (“ItsBchain”), QGLOBAL SMS, LLC (“QGlobal”), IoT Labs, LLC (“IoT Labs”), Global Money One Inc (“Global Money One”), Whisl Telecom LLC (“Whisl”), Smartbiz Telecom LLC (“Smartbiz”) and QXTEL LIMITED (“QXTEL”). 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. 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. dollars in accordance with ASC 830, “ Foreign Currency Matters ”. The functional currency and reporting currency of Etelix, QGlobal, ItsBchain, IoT Labs, Whisl, Smartbiz, Global Money One and QXTEL is the U.S. dollar, while SwissLink’s functional currency was the Swiss Franc (“CHF”). As of January 1, 2024, we changed the functional currency of SwissLink from their respective local currency to the US dollar. The change in functional currency is due to increased exposure to the US dollar as a result of a change in facts and circumstances in the primary economic environment in which this subsidiary operates. The effects of the change in functional currency were not significant to our consolidated financial statements. F- 6 Table of Contents 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. The Company had $ 797,227 and $ 1,362,668 in cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. 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 estimates expected credit losses related to accounts receivable balances based on a review of available and relevant information including current economic conditions, projected economic conditions, historical loss experience, account aging, and other factors that could affect collectability. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded bad debt expense of $ 1,801 and $ 0 , respectively. 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 period. 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. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding Series B Preferred stock, and it was excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as the result was anti-dilutive for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. 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. 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 six months ended June 30, 2024, 15 customers represented 86 % of our revenue compared to 23 customers representing 87 % of our revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, 38 % and 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. 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: F- 7 Table of Contents 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; accounts receivable; deposit for acquisition, prepaid and other current assets; accounts payable; accrued liabilities and other current liabilities; and due from/to related parties approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturities of these financial instruments. 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 parties due to their related party nature. 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 exists, and collection is reasonably assured. Management considers persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement to be a written interconnection agreement. The Company’s payment terms vary by client. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2023-07, " Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures " which allows disclosure of one or more measures of segment profit or loss used by the chief operating decision maker to allocate resources and assess performance. Additionally, the standard requires enhanced disclosures of significant segment expenses and other segment items, as well as incremental qualitative disclosures on both an annual and interim basis. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim reporting periods after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted and retrospective application is required for all periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures included within Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “ Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures ” which requires enhanced disclosures, including specific categories and disaggregation of information in the effective tax rate reconciliation, disaggregated information related to income taxes paid, income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit, and income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted and should be applied on a prospective basis; however, retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures included within Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. F- 8 Table of Contents NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN 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 has suffered recurring losses from operations 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. 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 in the industry and continuing its marketing efforts. The Company may experience a cash shortfall and be required to raise additional capital. Historically, the Company has financed its operations through private placements, Regulation A offerings, related party loans, convertible notes, and unsecured debt. 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.

The exercise price per share of the common stock under the Option shall be (i) 70% of the VWAP of the common stock during the then 10 Trading Days immediately preceding, but not including the date of exercise if the VWAP is below $2.00 or (ii) seventy five percent (75%) of the VWAP of the common stock during the then 10 Trading Days immediately preceding, but not including the date of exercise if the VWAP is equal or above $2.00. ADI Funding has the right and the obligation to exercise, on a “cash basis”, not less than (i) 2,000,000 of the shares of common stock underlying the option not later than the later of March 31, 2024 or the date on which there is an effective registration statement permitting the resale of the shares by ADI Funding. From and after the occurrence of the above-referenced exercise, each additional exercise of the Option shall be in an amount not less than 1,000,000 shares, which shall occur every thirty (30) days and shall be exercised only on a cash basis. ADI Funding’s obligation to exercise each specified portion of the Option is subject to the exercise price being not less than $0.11 If the Company issues securities less than the exercise price of the option, ADI Funding has a right to also use that lesser price in the exercise of its Option. The Option also contains rights to any company distributions and consideration in fundamental transactions. The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in FASB ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own common shares and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding. The Company determined that the warrants had net cash settlement and categorized the warrants as a liability in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. A summary of activity regarding warrants issued as follows: Weighted Average Remaining Warrants outstanding Contractual life (in years) Outstanding, December 31, 2023 — — Granted 10,000,000 0.88 Exercised ( 1,822,216 ) — Forfeited/canceled — — Outstanding, June 30, 2024 8,177,784 0.50 The intrinsic value of the warrants as of June 30, 2024 is approximately $ 680,000 . All of the outstanding warrants are exercisable as of June 30, 2024; however, each exercise is subject to a beneficial ownership limitation of 4.99 % of the Company’s outstanding common stock, which, upon notice, may be increased to 9.99 % . Fair Value Assumptions Used in Accounting for Derivative Liabilities ASC 815 requires we assess the fair market value of derivative liabilities at the end of each reporting period and recognize any change in the fair market value as other income or expense. F- 18 Table of Contents 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, 2024. 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. As of June 30, 2024, the estimated fair values of the liabilities measured on a recurring basis are as follows: As of June 30, 2024 Expected term 0.50 - 0.65 years Exercise price $ 0.17 – $ 0.23 Expected average volatility 108 % - 117 % Expected dividend yield — Risk-free interest rate 5.33 % - 5.44 % The following table summarizes the changes in the derivative liabilities during the six months ended June 30, 2024: Fair Value Measurements Using Significant Observable Inputs (Level 3) Balance - December 31, 2023 $ — Addition of new derivatives recognized as cash received 100,000 Settled on issuance of common stock ( 239,323 ) Change in fair value of derivative liabilities 1,115,510 Balance - June 30, 2024 $ 976,187 NOTE 14 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Subsequent to June 30, 2024, and through the date that these financials were made available, the Company had the following subsequent events: On May 10, 2024, the Company entered into a Purchase Company Agreement (“Purchase Company Agreement”) with Omar Luna and Lynk Holding LLC (together, the “Seller”) concerning the sale by Seller and the purchase by us of 51% of the membership interests the Seller holds in Lynk Telecom, LLC, a Virginia limited liability company (“Lynk Telecom”). The closing of the Purchase Company Agreement is expected to occur, once due diligence has been completed, during the third quarter of fiscal year 2024, although there are no assurances that the deal will close as planned. Lynk Telecom provides certified business telephone, SMS, connectivity, and networking services across various sectors in the United States. Lynk Holding LLC recently acquired selected assets from a company known as Voyce Telecom, and Lynk Holding LLC has the obligation to pay the shareholders of Voyce Telecom the purchase price in that acquisition, which is outstanding. The Purchase Price for 51% of the membership interests of Lynk Telecom is US $1,500,000, and this amount will be paid by the Seller to the Buyer in 12 consecutive monthly cash payments of US$ 125,000 each. The Seller agrees to use these funds for the amortization of the payments that it owes to Voyce in relation to the contract between Lynk Holding and Voyce Telecom. F- 19 Table of Contents Once we have paid the $1,500,000 for the acquisition of Lynk Telecom, and Lynk Telecom has achieved the business goals outlined in the Purchase Company Agreement, under what we refer to as “Phase I,” we have agreed to lend up to US$1,500,000 to Lynk Telecom, in installments of up to US$100,000 per month, to be used solely for marketing campaigns, promotion and development of the retail services, according to a business plan that has to be approved by Lynk Telecom’s board of directors. The disbursements of this loan will be subject to the achievements of the quarterly goals set in the business plan of Lynk Telecom. This retail business plan will have the aim of achieving the objective of generating a minimum of US$200,000 in operating income per month, with intermediate staggered quarterly goals. Upon the completion of Phase I, and the business goals in the Purchase Company Agreement have been achieved, we have agreed to lend Lynk Telecom up to US$1,500,000 in at least three stages, each of up to US$500,000 per year to help accelerate the amortization of the debt Lynk Holding LLC has with the Voyce Telecom shareholders. These loans would be linked to compliance with the financial statements for fiscal years 2026, 2027, 2028, 2029 and 2030. The goals for these years will be defined posteriori by the parties and approved by Lynk Telecom’s Board of Directors. The payment of this loan will be guaranteed with the portion of dividends that correspond to Lynk Holding LLC when Lynk Telecom makes a dividend distribution. If, as a result of operations, Lynk Telecom does not reach the projections in the Purchase Company Agreement, and the business plan for the years 2026, 2027, 2028, 2029 and 2030 approved by Lynk Telecom´s Board of Directors, we may retain the stipulated loan. If Lynk Telecom surpassed the projections in the Purchase Company Agreement, we have agreed to true up the purchase price, with details of the true up contained in the Purchase Company Agreement. Once this Purchase Company Agreement is signed, the manager of Lynk Telecom, Omar Luna, is expected to enter into a 3-year employment agreement with Lynk Telecom, that will be executed before the closing date, renewable for a 2-year period to guarantee the operational continuity of Lynk Telecom and the implementation of a business plan that will lead Lynk Telecom into a productive company with positive net income as established in the Purchase Company Agreement. Lynk Telecom shall have a Board of Directors composed of 3 members: 2 of the members shall be appointed by us and the remaining member shall be appointed by the Seller. The position of President and Secretary will be reserved for us. The closing of the Purchase Agreement is subject to, among other things, Lynk Telecom having prepared all accounting information in accordance with SEC standards in such a manner that any audit of the Company, if required, may be performed.

Results of Operations Revenues Our total revenue reported for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $78,635,764, compared with $32,824,829 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. These numbers reflect an increase of 139.56% quarter over quarter on our consolidated revenues. Our total revenue reported for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $130,050,642, compared with $57,491,358 for the six months ended June 30, 2023; an increase of 126.21%. When looking at the numbers by subsidiary, we have the following breakout for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2023: Revenue for the Three Months Ended June Revenue for the Six Months Ended June Subsidiary 2024 2023 2024 2023 Etelix.com USA, LLC $ 14,381,303 $ 10,692,139 $ 33,011,213 $ 15,041,124 SwissLink Carrier AG 901,198 1,273,004 1,875,932 2,548,289 QGlobal LLC 422,982 211,258 790,242 296,309 IoT Labs LLC 24,448,290 17,215,267 48,786,489 32,476,549 Smartbiz Telecom 6,210,123 2,935,867 12,391,570 6,327,107 Whisl Telecom 800,003 497,294 1,723,331 801,980 QXTEL Limited 31,471,866 — 31,471,866 — $ 78,635,764 $ 32,824,829 $ 130,050,642 $ 57,491,358 The increase in revenue is due to an increment in the commercial efforts and the result of commercial synergies amongst all companies. The organic growth during the three-months ended June 30, 2024 was 60% of the total revenue for that period, while the newly acquired company QXTEL Limited contributed with 40% of the total revenue. 5 Table of Contents When looking at the figures for the six months ended June 30, 2024, the organic growth was 76%, while QXTEL Limited contributed 24%. We consider organic growth the revenues reported by our existing subsidiaries; including Etelix, SwissLink, QGlobal, IoT Labs, Smartbiz and Whisl. 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 Revenue Our total cost of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024 increased to $76,472,140, compared with $32,040,363 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Our total cost of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024 increased to $126,507,992, compared with $55,490,156 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. When looking at the numbers by subsidiary, we have the following breakout for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2023: Cost of Revenue for the Three Months Ended June Cost of Revenue for the Six Months Ended June Subsidiary 2024 2023 2024 2023 Etelix.com USA, LLC $ 14,089,625 $ 10,019,546 $ 31,922,561 $ 13,784,019 SwissLink Carrier AG 829,267 1,055,418 1,599,435 2,159,275 QGlobal LLC 299,915 142,330 542,332 193,879 IoT Labs LLC 24,230,045 17,211,748 48,026,620 32,090,649 Smartbiz Telecom 6,074,427 3,125,835 12,339,173 6,209,129 Whisl Telecom 526,551 485,486 1,655,561 1,053,205 QXTEL Limited 30,422,311 — 30,422,311 — $ 76,472,140 $ 32,040,363 $ 126,507,992 $ 55,490,156 Our cost of revenue 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 The Consolidated Gross Margin for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was 2.75%, which compared to 2.39% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 represents an increase in our consolidated Gross Margin of 15.13%. The Consolidated Gross Margin for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was 2.72%, which compared to 3.48% for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in the Gross Margin is due to the decrease in the margins of voice services, which is an expected trend in the industry. To offset this trend, the Company has implemented a plan to modify the composition of the product portfolio by increasing SMS businesses that have increasing margins. As an example, we can indicate that for the six months ended on June 30, 2024, the contribution to the margin of the SMS business with respect to the total was 24% compared to only 8% for the same period in 2023. With the incorporation of QXTEL and the increase in the QGlobal SMS business, the gross margin of our SMS services portfolio increased by 297% when comparing the figures of June 2024 vs. June 2023.

This new subsidiary was not present before the mentioned period which explains 44% of the total $1,496,755 expense increase in the total consolidated figures for 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. Operating Income The Company had an operating loss for the three months ended June 30, 2024 of $342,103 compared with an operating loss of $252,718 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The Company had an operating loss for the six months ended June 30, 2024 of $525,555 compared with an operating loss of $570,248 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. 7 Table of Contents Our Telecom Division, the division presently generating revenue, has operating income when presented separately from the rest of our Company. The expenses of our pre-revenue companies are set at the minimum required to finish the development of the product/services prior to market launch. When comparing the tables below, we can see a tremendous evolution of our telecom division comparing the revenues, gross profit and operating income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 versus the same periods of year 2023. As we have indicated on several occasions, our strategy is to strengthen our telecommunications division so that it can serve as a lever for the development of new lines of business.

We had other expenses of $1,953,273 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared with other income of $249,782 for the same period ended 2023. The increase in other expenses is mainly due to the change in the fair value of derivative liabilities, and the interest expenses incurred. Both concept are related to the financing structure put in place for the acquisition of QXTEL Limited, which has had a positive impact in the revenues and operating income of the Telecom Division, and also a positive impact in our balance sheet. Net Loss We finished the three months ended June 30, 2024 with a loss of $1,963,887, as compared to a loss of $161,644 during the three months ended June 30, 2023. We finished the six months ended June 30, 2024 with a loss of $2,544,103, as compared to a loss of $320,466 during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The net results of the periods reported are highly impacted by the expenses in the holding entity (iQSTEL), which has a high component of interest and other financial expenses related to the funds borrowed for the acquisition of QXTEL Limited. Liquidity and Capital Resources As of June 30, 2024, we had total current assets of $17,220,260 and current liabilities of $22,200,638, resulting in a negative working capital of $4,980,378. This negative working capital is driven largely by the $3,555,006 of current convertible notes, derivative liabilities of $976,187 and contingent liability for the acquisition of QXTEL of $1,000,000. Our operating activities used $3,151,688 in the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared with $721,400 used in operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 2023. Our negative operating cash flow for both periods is a result of our net loss and changes in operating assets and liabilities. Investing activities used $2,720,197 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $279,086 used during the same period of year 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 the use of funds in investing activities consisted primarily of the acquisition of QXTEL Limited. Financing activities provided $5,306,444 in the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared with $790,994 provided in the six months ended June 30, 2023. Our positive financing cash flow in 2024 is mainly the result of proceeds from loans, and proceeds from convertible notes. We intend to fund operations through increased sales and debt and/or equity financing arrangements to strengthen our liquidity and capital resources. We also plan to seek additional financing in public and 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, 2024. 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. 9 Table of Contents 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 six months ended June 30, 2024; however, we consider our critical accounting policies to be those related to allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of long-lived assets, 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 June 30, 2024, there were no off-balance sheet arrangements. Recent Accounting Pronouncements We do not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on our results of operation, financial position, or cash flow. 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 June 30, 2024. 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, 2024, 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. 10 Table of Contents PART II – OTHER INFORMATION Item 1.
