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 September 30, 2024 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 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 $ 2,125,139 and $ 1,362,668 in cash and cash equivalents at September 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 nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded bad debt expense of $ 1,801 and $ 1,344 , 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 nine months ended September 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 nine months ended September 30, 2024, 22 customers represented 87.7 % of our revenue compared to 11 customers representing 87.8 % of our revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, 38.3 % and 54.8 % 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: Level 1 Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. F- 7 Table of Contents 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.

NOTE 11 – ACQUISITION On January 19, 2024 , we entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) with Yukon River Holdings, Ltd. (“Yukon River”), a corporation formed under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (“Seller”) concerning the contemplated sale by Seller and the purchase by us of 51% of the ordinary shares Seller holds in QXTEL LIMITED (“QXTEL”), a company incorporated in England and Wales. The purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) payable to the Seller for the shares is $ 5,000,000 . Upon the execution of the Purchase Agreement, we agreed to deposit $ 1,500,000 of the Purchase Price into the trust account of a law firm acting as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”) as a nonrefundable deposit to evidence our good faith intention to purchase the shares, which was credited against the Purchase Price. At closing, in addition to the $ 1,500,000 with the Escrow Agent that formed part of the Purchase Price, we were required to pay $ 1,500,000 in cash and $ 2,000,000 to the Seller, either (A) in the form of a promissory note (the “Promissory Note”), or (B) by the delivery of iQSTEL shares to Seller. Seller could decide the form of payment between the Promissory Note or the shares of iQSTEL, and if a Promissory Note was chosen, we agreed to allow Seller the option to exchange the Promissory Note for shares of iQSTEL. On June 27, 2024, we entered into a second amendment to the Purchase Agreement (the “Amendment”) that required us to issue an amended and restated promissory note to the Seller. We had paid down $ 200,000 of the note, so the amended and restated promissory note was issued in the principal amount of US $ 1,800,000 . The amended and restated promissory note also changed the payment structure, from installment payments of $ 200,000 for each of the months of May through November ($1,400,000) with a balloon payment of $ 600,000 , to monthly installments of $ 75,000 plus interest during 2024, and $ 212,500 plus interest during the first 6 months of 2025. We also revised the Earnout Payment due to the Seller. The Earnout Payment was redefined at $ 721,035 net income, to be achieved in Q2, Q3 and Q4 of 2024 . The $ 1,000,000 payment that IQSTEL has to pay upon achievement of the Earnout Payment will be paid during the first half of 2025, in monthly installments.

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 F- 18 Table of Contents 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: Warrants Outstanding Weighted Average Weighted Average Remaining Shares Exercise Price Contractual life (in years) Outstanding, December 31, 2023 — $ — — Granted 10,000,000 0.88 0.88 Exercised ( 5,227,273 ) 0.11 — Forfeited/canceled — — — Outstanding, September 30, 2024 4,772,727 $ 0.11 0.25 The intrinsic value of the warrants as of September 30, 2024 is approximately $ 253,000 . All of the outstanding warrants are exercisable as of September 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. The Company determined our derivative liabilities to be a Level 3 fair value measurement and used the Black-Scholes pricing model to calculate the fair value as of September 30, 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. F- 19 Table of Contents As of September 30, 2024, the estimated fair values of the liabilities measured on a recurring basis are as follows: Expected term 0.25 - 0.65 years Expected average volatility 78 % - 118 % Expected dividend yield — Risk-free interest rate 4.73 % - 5.44 % The following table summarizes the changes in the derivative liabilities during the nine months ended September 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 Exercise on issuance of common stock ( 885,843 ) Change in fair value of the warrant 1,063,789 Balance - September 30, 2024 $ 277,946 NOTE 14 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Subsequent to September 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 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. The Company subsequently elected to halt the due diligence and there are no assurances that the proposed deal will close as planned. On October 18, 2024, we entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (the “Agreement”) with M2B Funding Corp. to extend the maturity date on three promissory notes in exchange for stock consideration. Pursuant to the Agreement, the following promissory notes were extended by 12 months from their original date of maturity: • First Note: Originally due January 1, 2025, with an outstanding amount of $1,888,888.89, now extended to January 1, 2026. • Second Note: Originally due March 12, 2025, with an outstanding amount of $1,111,111.11, now extended to March 12, 2026. • Third Note: Originally due March 25, 2025, with an outstanding amount of $555,555.56, now extended to March 25, 2026. In consideration for this extension, we agreed to issue 646,467 restricted common shares to M2B Funding Corp. F- 20 Table of Contents On November 1, 2024, we entered into a binding Memorandum of Understanding (the “Agreement”) with Mr. Ralf Koehler ("Ralf"), SwissLink Carrier Ltd., ("SwissLink") and Impact Trading & Consulting LLC ("Impact") for the purpose of outlining the understanding regarding the exchange of 49% ownership in SwissLink for our shares. Pursuant to the Agreement, the parties agreed that the execution of the final agreement will be subject to mutual consent and negotiations based on the terms already agreed below: • The agreed valuation to purchase Ralf’s 49% ownership interest in SwissLink is set at $750,000 USD. • The term of this agreement will be for five (5) years plus six (6) months (“Termination Date”), commencing on the date of the execution of the final agreement ("Final Agreement"). • Ownership will be transferred from Ralf to us in tranches, with each tranche comprising up to 10% of ownership per year. • The option to execute each tranche can be initiated by Ralf within each one-year period through the submission of a "trigger letter" by e-mail to us. If Ralf does not exercise his right to trigger the agreement during any year, we reserve the right to initiate the tranche execution at any point thereafter. • Share Calculation: The number of iQSTEL shares to be provided in exchange for each tranche will be determined based on the lowest closing price of iQSTEL shares over the 90 days preceding the delivery of the trigger letter. • Discount: Ralf will receive a 20% discount on the above calculated share price; provided however, that the above calculated share price, without the discount, shall count toward the purchase price in determining whether Ralf has received the full $750,000 USD valuation for his 49% ownership interest in SwissLink. • If, after the execution of all tranches, Ralf has not received the full $750,000 USD valuation, we or our legal successor will pay the difference in cash until the full valuation is realized based on the Weighted Volume Average Price (WVAP) of our shares for the last 15 trading days prior to the Termination Date for shares still in Ralf's possession, and/or the actual selling price for shares already sold by Ralf. In addition, under the Agreement, Impact agreed to render advisory services up to 60 hours per month to SwissLink and ETELIX, our wholly owned subsidiary, at 8,000 CHF per month (excluding VAT) for a maximum of two years. Next, SwissLink acknowledges a debt of 200,000 CHF owed to Ralf, which will be repaid in monthly installments of 8,000 CHF until the debt is fully repaid. Finally, Ralf will continue to grant SwissLink non-exclusive access to the VAMP platform, with the same cost and expense structure as outlined in the Share Purchase Agreement between iQSTEL and Ralf, dated April 1, 2019.

Operating expenses increased to $6,144,677 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from $3,529,218 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The details by major category for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 is reflected in the table below: Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 2023 Salaries, Wages and Benefits $ 2,351,471 $ 1,218,946 Technology 879,182 273,786 Professional Fees 1,072,816 821,780 Legal and Regulatory 180,221 168,908 Bad Debt Expense 1,801 1,344 Travel and Events 167,757 119,845 Public Cost 93,646 28,526 Advertising 659,784 535,193 Insurances 41,576 10,543 Bank Services and Fees 127,594 44,136 Financial Costs 43,772 — Depreciation and Amortization 104,061 103,246 Office, Facility and Other 311,511 172,020 Sub Total 6,035,192 3,498,273 Stock-based compensation 109,485 30,945 Total Operating Expense $ 6,144,677 $ 3,529,218 The main reasons for the overall increase in operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period of 2023 is due to the increase in salaries, wages and benefits; technology; the professional fees; office, facilities and other. 7 Table of Contents As it can be seen in the table below, where operating expenses are shown by subsidiary, 56% of the total increase in operating expenses is due to the inclusion of QXTEL, which was not part of the group of companies in year 2023. When looking at the numbers by subsidiary, we have the following breakout for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023: Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 2023 Difference iQSTEL $ 2,024,621 $ 1,346,415 $ 678,206 Etelix 297,124 256,616 40,508 Swisslink 701,427 562,310 139,117 ItsBchain 14,582 28,945 -14,363 QGlobal 405,275 184,698 220,577 IoT Labs 190,179 112,033 78,146 Global Money One 550 47,759 -47,209 Smartbiz Telecom 684,061 526,079 157,982 Whisl Telecom 645,639 464,363 181,276 QXTEL Limited 1,414,008 — 1,414,008 Inter-company eliminations (232,789 ) — -232,789 $ 6,144,677 $ 3,529,218 $ 2,615,459 Operating Income The Company had an operating loss of $56,553 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared with operating income of $70,753 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The Company had an operating loss of $535,952 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared with an operating loss of $499,495 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 Our Telecom Division, the division presently generating revenue, has positive 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 nine months ended September 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.

The difference between the compared periods is primarily in due to a change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $(1,063,789); and Interest Expense of $(1,533,820). Net Income/Loss The Company finished the three months ended September 30, 2024 with a net loss of $773,004, as compared to a net income $45,909 during the three months ended September 30, 2023. The Company finished the nine months ended September 30, 2024 with a loss of $3,317,107, as compared to a loss of $274,557 during the nine months ended September 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 September 30, 2024, we had total current assets of $19,664,986 and current liabilities of $24,066,234, resulting in a negative working capital of $4,401,248. This compares with a positive working capital of $1,878,228 at December 31, 2023. Our operating activities used $2,526,651 in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared with $434,701 used in operating activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Investing activities used $2,950,367 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared with $340,583 used in investing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Use of funds in investing activities were primarily for the acquisition of subsidiary (QXTEL) for $2,730,121. Financing activities provided $6,239,489 in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared with $1,454,756 provided in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Our positive financing cash flow in 2024 was largely the result of the proceeds from convertible notes of $3,997,500, funds used in the acquisition of QXTEL. 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 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. 9 Table of Contents Inflation Although our operations are influenced by general economic conditions, we do not believe that inflation had a material effect on our results of operations during the nine-month period ended September 30, 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. Our accounting policies are discussed in detail in the footnotes to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and in the footnotes to our financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. We consider our critical accounting policies to be those related to warrant accounting and complex debt instruments, 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 September 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 September 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 nine-month period ended September 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.

Item 1A: Risk Factors In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, carefully consider the risk factors described under the heading “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. Such risks described are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us, or that our management currently deems to be immaterial, also may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and/or operating results. There have been no material changes to those risk factors since their disclosure in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. Item 2.
