−Removed: In comparing our Statements of Operations
−Removed: between the years ended December 31, 2019, and 2018, we had declining revenue and increased expenses.
−Removed: The decrease of revenue
−Removed: was caused by the selling of our Johnstown NY operations, which has become our customer.
−Removed: The expense increase was due to the acquisitions
−Removed: of Apeiron Systems and IM Telecom and the selling of Johnstown NY operations and expense reduction measures involving staffing.

−Removed: in cash and cash equivalents on hand.

−Removed: In comparing liquidity between the years ending
−Removed: December 31, 2019, and 2018, cash and short-term assets decreased by 51.8%.
−Removed: The decrease was caused through continuing focus on
−Removed: products that are paid in advance, which has resulted in a decrease in accounts receivable of 64.7%.
−Removed: Liabilities and total overall

−Removed: and payments made on the advances.

−Removed: Liquidity was also strained by the acquisitions
−Removed: and increased costs caused through the diversification of services.
−Removed: The expense increase that helped cause the negative liquidity
−Removed: is discussed above in the comparison of our Statement of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2019, and 2018.
−Removed: Overall, the current ratio (current assets
−Removed: divided by our current liabilities) was .36 and .70 as of December 31, 2019, and 2018, respectively.
−Removed: Working capital decreased
−Removed: Cash Flow from Operations
−Removed: During the year ended December 31, 2019, and

−Removed: and $1,161,200 for the years ended December 31, 2019, and 2018, respectively.
−Removed: Cash Flows from Investing
−Removed: During the year ended December 31, 2019, and
−Removed: the year ended December 31, 2018, cash flow provided by (used in) investing activities was $58,603 and ($144,251), respectively.
−Removed: The cash used in investing activities during 2019 were created through cash received through acquisitions and cash provided through
−Removed: the sale of assets.
−Removed: Cash Flows from Financing
−Removed: During the year ended December 31, 2019, and
−Removed: the year ended December 31, 2018, cash flow provided by (used in) financing activities was ($100,317) and $1,118,064, respectively.
−Removed: The funds provided by financing were comprised of payment on operating lease liabilities, $69,380 for 2019 and $0 for 2018;

−Removed: and proceeds from issuance of common stock and
−Removed: contributions of $0 for 2019 and $1,200,000 for 2018.
−Removed: Going Concern
−Removed: As the Company did not generate net income
−Removed: during the years ended December 31, 2019, and 2018, the Company has been dependent upon equity financing to support its operations.

−Removed: The accumulated deficit as of December 31,
−Removed: 2019, is $5,896,977.
−Removed: The Company has ameliorated any substantial
−Removed: doubt issues by generating additional cash flow since the completion of our merger with KonaTel Nevada on December 18, 2017;
−Removed: acquisition of Apeiron Systems;
−Removed: receiving cash investments through the private placement of shares of our common stock;
−Removed: from the growth of our Virtual ETC program, all of which has contributed to an improvement in our working capital, without the
−Removed: use of additional lines of credit or borrowings.
−Removed: As a result of the sale of assets to Telecon
−Removed: Wireless, the Company’s irrevocable standby letter of credit arrangements with certain cellular carriers in the aggregate
−Removed: amount was reduced to $213,000 from $263,000.
−Removed: The letters of credit serve as collateral and security for various resale contracts
−Removed: the Company has with their suppliers.
−Removed: Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
−Removed: The Company entered into an off-balance sheet
−Removed: arrangement as a result of the purchase of Apeiron Systems.
−Removed: The former Apeiron Systems stockholders have a $1.00 “Guaranteed
−Removed: if the Company’s common stock trading price does not reach or exceed $1.00 per share over a ten (10) consecutive
−Removed: day period between December 31, 2020, and ending on December 31, 2021.
−Removed: If the share price is not reached, the Company shall issue
−Removed: to the Apeiron Systems stockholders for each such share of the Company’s common stock that is equal to the number of “Qualifying

−Removed: multiplied by the difference between the Guaranteed Value and the highest “Calculated Value”
−Removed: during the “Valuation Period.”
−Removed: See Section 5.10 of the Apeiron Systems Merger Agreement that was filed as an Exhibit
−Removed: to the Company’s 8-K Current Report dated December 31, 2018, and filed with the SEC on December 31, 2018, and which is accessible
−Removed: by Hyperlink in Part IV, Item 15.
−Removed: Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
−Removed: Use of Estimates
−Removed: The preparation of financial statements in
−Removed: conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates
−Removed: and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
−Removed: at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
−Removed: Actual results
−Removed: could differ from those estimates.
−Removed: Significant estimates in the accompanying financial statements include the amortization period
−Removed: for intangible assets, valuation and impairment valuation of intangible assets, depreciable lives of the website and property and
−Removed: equipment, valuation of warrant and beneficial conversion feature debt discounts, valuation of share-based payments and the valuation
−Removed: allowance on deferred tax assets.
−Removed: Impairment of Long-Lived
−Removed: We account for long-lived assets in accordance
−Removed: with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ASC 360-10, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal
−Removed: of Long-Lived Assets”.
−Removed: This statement requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for
−Removed: impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
−Removed: Recoverability
−Removed: of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows
−Removed: expected to be generated by the asset.
−Removed: If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured
−Removed: by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.
−Removed: Assets to be disposed of are reported
−Removed: at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
−Removed: Fair Value of Financial
−Removed: Instruments and Fair Value Measurements
−Removed: We measure their financial assets and liabilities
−Removed: in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
−Removed: For certain of our financial instruments, including cash, accounts
−Removed: payable, accrued expenses escrow liability and short-term loans the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short
−Removed: We have adopted accounting guidance for financial
−Removed: and non-financial assets and liabilities.
−Removed: The adoption did not have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position
−Removed: or liquidity.
−Removed: This standard defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures.
−Removed: standard does not require any new fair value measurements, but rather applies to all other accounting pronouncements that require
−Removed: or permit fair value measurements.
−Removed: This guidance does not apply to measurements related to share-based payments.
−Removed: This guidance
−Removed: discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future
−Removed: income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost).
−Removed: utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad
−Removed: The following is a brief description of those three levels:
−Removed: Observable inputs such as quoted
−Removed: prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
−Removed: Inputs other than quoted prices
−Removed: which are observable, either directly or indirectly.
−Removed: These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets
−Removed: and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
−Removed: Unobservable inputs in which
−Removed: little or no market data exists, therefore developed using estimates and assumptions developed by us, which reflect those that
−Removed: a market participant would use.
−Removed: In February 2016, the FASB updated the accounting
−Removed: guidance related to leases.
−Removed: The most significant change in the updated accounting guidance requires lessees to recognize lease
−Removed: assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for all operating leases with the exception of short-term leases.
−Removed: The standard also
−Removed: expands the disclosures regarding the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases.
−Removed: For a lessee, the recognition,
−Removed: measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease did not significantly change from previous guidance.
−Removed: We adopted the updated guidance on January 1, 2019 on a prospective basis and as a result, prior period amounts were not adjusted
−Removed: to reflect the impacts of the updated guidance.
−Removed: In addition, as permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard,
−Removed: prior scoping and classification conclusions were carried forward for leases existing as of the adoption date.
−Removed: Upon adoption, we recorded $151,471 for operating
−Removed: lease assets and liabilities, which includes the impact of fair value adjustments, prepaid and deferred rent.
−Removed: Revenue Recognition
−Removed: We earn revenue from contracts with customers, primarily through
−Removed: the provision of telecommunications and other services.
−Removed: We account for these revenues under Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09,
−Removed: “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”
−Removed: (Topic 606), which we adopted on January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective
−Removed: This standard update, along with related subsequently issued updates, clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue
−Removed: and develops a common revenue standard U.S.
−Removed: The standard update also amends current guidance for the recognition of costs
−Removed: to obtain and fulfill contracts with customers such that incremental costs of obtaining and direct costs of fulfilling contracts
−Removed: with customers will be deferred and amortized consistent with the transfer of the related good or service..
−Removed: Revenue from these
−Removed: services is generally recognized monthly as the services are provided.
−Removed: Such revenue is recognized based on usage, which can vary
−Removed: from month to month or at a contractually committed amount, net of credits or other billing adjustments.
−Removed: Advance billings for future
−Removed: service in the form of monthly recurring charges are not recognized as revenue until the service is provided.
−Removed: Stock-Based Compensation
−Removed: We record stock-based compensation in accordance
−Removed: with the guidance in ASC 718 which requires the Company to recognize expenses related to the fair value of its employee stock option
−Removed: This requires that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method.
−Removed: The Company recognizes the cost
−Removed: of all share-based awards on a graded vesting basis over the vesting period of the award.
−Removed: We account for equity instruments issued in
−Removed: exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees in accordance with ASC 718-10 and the conclusions reached
−Removed: by the ASC 505-50.
−Removed: Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value
−Removed: of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.
−Removed: The value of equity instruments issued for consideration
−Removed: other than employee services is determined on the earliest of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider
−Removed: of goods or services.
−Removed: We account for income taxes in accordance with
−Removed: FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes”.
−Removed: Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences
−Removed: attributable to temporary differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
−Removed: loss carryforwards and their respective tax bases.
−Removed: Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured
−Removed: using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income (loss) in the years in which those temporary differences are expected
−Removed: to be recovered or settled.
−Removed: The effect of a change in tax rules on deferred
−Removed: tax assets and liabilities is recognized in operations in the year of change.
−Removed: A valuation allowance is recorded when it is “more
−Removed: likely-than-not”
−Removed: that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
−Removed: Tax benefits of uncertain tax positions are
−Removed: recognized only if it is more likely than not that the Company will be able to sustain a position taken on an income tax return.
−Removed: We had no liability for uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2019, and 2018.
−Removed: Interest and penalties, if any, related
−Removed: to unrecognized tax benefits would be recognized as interest expense.
−Removed: We do not have any accrued interest or penalties associated

−Removed: Diluted loss per common share calculations are determined by dividing net
−Removed: loss by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding.

−Removed: for the years ended December 31, 2019, and 2018, dilutive loss per share is the same as loss per share.
