REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING
FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of KonaTel, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets
of KonaTel, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity,
and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as
the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year
period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our
audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are
required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the
standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged
to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding
of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess
the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond
to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below
are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to
the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our
especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion
on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions
on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Impairment of Intangible Assets
Description of the Matter:
We identified the assessment of the valuation of intangible assets as a
critical audit matter due to the materiality to the financial statements and significant estimate involved. As discussed in Note 6 to
the financial statements, the Company’s intangible assets are subject to impairment. Intangible assets are valued at cost and amortized
using the straight-line method over the useful economic life of the asset and
tested for impairment. The Company’s
intangible assets are comprised of FCC license and software arising from past acquisitions. The assessment of intangible asset impairment
can be subjective and requires management to make judgements about whether the impairment needs to be recorded and the amount. In the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, the Company did not record any impairment of intangible assets.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our
Audit.
We obtained a thorough understanding
of the controls the Company has in place to perform this assessment including the analysis of whether the controls are designed and operating
effectively. We performed our own detailed evaluation on the analysis of intangible asset impairment prepared by the management by comparing
the year-end balances to the undiscounted future cash flows from the intangible assets to evaluate the Company’s determination of
the carrying value as of December 31, 2020 and analyzed the inputs of the future cash flows to verifiable data.

KONATEL, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Overview of Company
KonaTel Nevada (as defined below) was organized under
the laws of the State of Nevada on October 14, 2014, by its founder and then sole shareholder, D. Sean McEwen, to conduct the business
of a full-service MVNO (“Mobile Virtual Network Operator”) provider that delivered cellular products and services to individual
and business customers in various retail and wholesale markets.
KonaTel Inc., formerly known as Dala Petroleum Corp.
(“KonaTel,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), also formerly known as “Westcott
Products Corporation,” was incorporated as “Light Tech, Inc.” under the laws of the State of Nevada on May 24, 1984. A
subsidiary in the name “Westcott Products Corporation” was organized by us under the laws of the State of Delaware on June
24, 1986, for the purpose of changing our name and domicile to the State of Delaware. On June 27, 1986, we merged with the Delaware subsidiary,
with the survivor being Westcott Products Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Westcott”). On December 18, 2017, we acquired
KonaTel, Inc, a Nevada sub S-Corporation (“KonaTel Nevada”), in a merger with our acquisition subsidiary under which KonaTel
Nevada became our wholly owned subsidiary.
On December 31, 2018, we acquired Apeiron Systems,
Inc., a Nevada corporation d/b/a “Apeiron” (“Apeiron Systems”), which is also our wholly owned subsidiary. Apeiron
Systems was organized in 2013 and is an international hosted services CPaaS (“Communications Platform as a Service”) provider
that designed, built, owns, and operates its private core network, supporting a suite of real-time business communications services and
Applications Programming Interfaces (“APIs”). As an Internet Telephony Service Provider (“ITSP”), Apeiron Systems
holds a Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) numbering authority license. Some of Apeiron Systems’ hosted services
include SIP/VoIP services, SMS/MMS processing, BOT integration, NLP (“Natural Language Processing”), ML (“Machine Learning”),
number services including mobile, toll free and DID landline numbers, SMS to Email services, Database Dip services, SD-WAN, voice termination,
and numerous API driven services including voice, messaging, and network management.
On January 31, 2019, we acquired IM Telecom, an Oklahoma
limited liability company, d/b/a Infiniti Mobile, (“Infiniti Mobile”), which became our wholly owned subsidiary. Infiniti
Mobile is an FCC licensed ETC (“Eligible Telecommunications Carrier”) and is one of nineteen (19) FCC licensed carriers to
hold an FCC approved Lifeline Compliance Plan in the United States. Under the Lifeline program, Infiniti Mobile is currently authorized
to provide government subsidized mobile telecommunications services to eligible low-income Americans currently in eight (8) states.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared
using the accrual basis of accounting.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted 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 and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates in these financial statements
include the allowance for doubtful receivables, allowance for inventory obsolescence, the estimated useful lives of property and equipment,
and customer lists. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 2020, include the Company and its three (3) wholly owned corporate subsidiaries, KonaTel Nevada, Apeiron Systems, and
Infiniti Mobile (January through December). The consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, include the Company
and its three (3) wholly owned corporate subsidiaries, KonaTel Nevada, Apeiron Systems, and Infiniti Mobile (February through December).
All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated.
F- 6
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and Cash Equivalents include cash on hand and
all short-term investments with maturities of three months or less.
Trade Accounts Receivable
The Company accounts for trade receivables based on
amounts billed to customers. Past due receivables are determined based on contractual terms. The Company does not accrue interest and
does not require collateral on any of its trade receivables.
Allowance for Doubtful Receivables
The allowance for doubtful receivables is determined
by management based on customer credit history, specific customer circumstances and general economic conditions. Periodically, management
reviews accounts receivable and adjusts the allowance based on current circumstances and charges off uncollectible receivables against
the allowance when all attempts to collect the receivable have failed. As of December 31, 2020, and 2019, management has determined that
no allowance for doubtful receivables is necessary.
Inventory
Inventory consists primarily of the cost of cellular
phones and cellular accessories. Inventory is reported at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined by the first-in,
first-out (“FIFO”) method. As of December 31, 2020, total inventory owned by the company was $17,786.
Due to the rapidly changing technology within the
industry, inventory is evaluated on a regular basis to determine if any obsolescence exists. As of December 31, 2020, and 2019, the allowance
for inventory obsolescence was $0.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are
depreciated on the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the
lease term or estimated useful life, furniture and fixtures, equipment, and vehicles are depreciated over periods ranging from five to
seven (5-7) years, and billing software is depreciated over three (3) years which represents the estimated useful life of the assets.
Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred while major replacements and improvements are capitalized. When property and
equipment are retired or sold, the cost and applicable accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and the related
gain or loss is recognized.
The Company recognizes impairment losses for long-lived
assets whenever changes in circumstances result in the carrying amount of the assets exceeding the sum of the expected future cash flows
associated with such assets. Management has concluded that no impairment reserves are required as of December 31, 2020, and 2019.
Intangible Assets – Long-Lived Assets
The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance
with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ASC 360-10, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets.” This statement requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability 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 expected to be generated
by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying
amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or
fair value less costs to sell.
Intangible assets consist of customer lists, licenses,
and software arising from acquisitions which are amortized on a straight-line basis over three (3) years, their estimated useful lives.
Other Intangibles
The Company accounts for other intangibles in accordance
with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ASC 360-10, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets.” This statement requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability 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 expected to be generated
by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying
amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or
fair value less costs to sell. During 2019, KonaTel,
F- 7
through the acquisition of IM Telecom, recorded, at
fair market value, an FCC License in the amount of $634,251. Other Intangible Assets are not amortized. As of December 31, 2020, there
is no impairment of the value of the license.
Other Assets
Other Assets represent items classified as long-term
assets in accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ASC 210-10-45. Other Assets include vendor deposits and security
deposits that the Company is required to maintain.
Customer Deposits
Before entering into a contract with a sub-reseller
customer, the Company requires the customer to either secure a formal letter of credit with a bank or require a certain level of cash
collateral deposits from the customer. These collateral requirements are determined by management and may be adjusted upward or downward
depending on the volume of business with the sub-reseller customer, or if management’s assessment of credit risk for a sub-reseller
customer would change.
The Company held $0 and $31,088 in collateral deposits
from various sub-reseller customers at December 31, 2020, and 2019, respectively. Such amounts represent collateral received from the
sub-resellers in order to contract with the Company. The related contracts have an option to terminate within a period of less than one
(1) year, and accordingly, these collateral deposits are classified as current liabilities in the accompanying balance sheet.
Fair Market Value of Assets
The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. For certain of our financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable,
accrued expenses, deposits received from customers for receivables and short-term loans the carrying amounts approximate fair value due
to their short maturities. Long-term assets purchased through acquisitions are valued at the Fair Market Value of the asset at the time
of acquisition. The Fair Market Value is based on observable inputs on assets in active market- places for fixed assets, and estimations
and assumptions developed by us for Other Intangibles.
The Company follows accounting guidance for financial
and non-financial assets and liabilities. This standard defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain
disclosures. This standard does not require any new fair value measurements, but rather applies to all other accounting pronouncements
that require or permit fair value measurements. This guidance does not apply to measurements related to share-based payments. This guidance
discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income
or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). The guidance utilizes a fair
value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following
is a brief description of those three levels:
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in
active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices, which
are observable, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted
prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which little
or no market data exists, therefore developed using estimates and assumptions developed by us, which reflect those that a market participant
would use.
Leases
In February 2016, the FASB updated the accounting
guidance related to leases. The most significant change in the updated accounting guidance requires lessees to recognize lease assets
and liabilities on the balance sheet for all operating leases with the exception of short-term leases. The standard also expands the disclosures
regarding the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. For a lessee, the recognition, measurement and presentation
of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease did not significantly change from previous guidance. We adopted the updated guidance on
January 1, 2019 on a prospective basis and as a result, prior period amounts were not adjusted to reflect the impacts of the updated guidance.
In addition, as permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, prior scoping, and classification conclusions were carried
forward for leases existing as of the adoption date. See NOTE 4.
Upon adoption, we recorded $151,471 for operating
lease assets and liabilities, which includes the impact of fair value adjustments, prepaid and deferred rent. As of December 31, 2020,
and December 31, 2019, our operating lease assets and liabilities were $80,578 and $81,723, respectively.
F- 8
Revenue Recognition
Services revenues are generated from cellular and
telecommunication services. The revenue is derived from wholesale and retail services. Telecommunications and mobile telecommunication
services include network platforms, voice, data, and text services. The Company recognizes revenue as telecommunications and mobile services
are provided in service revenue. Telecommunications and mobile services are billed and paid on a monthly basis. Services are billed and
paid on a monthly basis. These bills include an amount for the monthly recurring charge and a usage charge.
We earn revenue from contracts with customers, primarily
through the provision of telecommunications and other services. We account for these revenues under Accounting Standards Update (ASU)
2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (Topic 606), which we adopted on January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective
approach. This standard update, along with related subsequently issued updates, clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue and develops
a common revenue standard U.S. GAAP. The standard update also amends current guidance for the recognition of costs to obtain and fulfill
contracts with customers such that incremental costs of obtaining and direct costs of fulfilling contracts with customers will be deferred
and amortized consistent with the transfer of the related good or service. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact
on the consolidated financial statements.
Deferred Revenue
Services for cellular and telecommunication services
have a monthly recurring charge that is billed in advance. This charge covers a thirty (30) or thirty-one (31)-day period. This charge
is deferred for the period in which it was received and recorded as revenue at the conclusion of this period. Costs, mainly from outside
providers, associated with the deferred revenue are recognized in the same period as revenue is recognized.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of Revenue includes the cost of communication
services, equipment and accessories, shipping costs, and commissions of sub-agents.
Advertising
Costs for advertising products and services, as well
as other promotional and sponsorship costs, are charged to Selling, general and administrative expense in the periods in which they are
incurred. Advertising expense was $15,840 and $23,275 for 2020 and 2019 respectively.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance
with the guidance in ASC 718 which requires the Company to recognize expenses related to the fair value of its employee stock option awards.
This requires that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. The Company recognizes the cost of all share-based
awards on a graded vesting basis over the vesting period of the award.
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued
in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from nonemployees in accordance with ASC 718-10 and the conclusions reached by the ASC
505-50. Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity
instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee
services is determined on the earliest of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider of goods or services.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, “Compensation-Stock
Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” which expands the scope of Topic 718 to include
all share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. ASU 2018-07 specifies that Topic 718 applies
to all share-based payment transactions in which the grantor acquires goods and services to be used or consumed in its own operations
by issuing share-based payment awards. ASU 2018-07 also clarifies that Topic 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively
provide (1) financing to the issuer or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract
accounted for under ASC 606. The amendments in ASU 2018-07 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including
interim periods within those fiscal years. In 2020, KonaTel issued stock-based options to key employees of the company. Implementation
of the aforementioned standard had no effect on the issuance of the 2020 options.

Income Taxes
Provisions for income taxes are based on taxes payable
or refundable for the current year and deferred taxes on temporary differences between the amount of taxable income and pretax financial
income and between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets
and liabilities are included in the consolidated financial statements at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in
which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rate are enacted, deferred
tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes.
The benefits of uncertain tax positions are recorded
in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements only after determining a more-likely-than-not probability that the uncertain
tax positions will withstand challenge, if any, from taxing authorities. The Company records interest and penalties related to unrecognized
tax benefits in interest expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Net Income / Loss Per Share
Basic net income / loss per common share calculations
are determined by dividing net income / loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted
net income / loss per common share calculations are determined by dividing net income / loss by the weighted average number of common
shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. As of December 31, 2020, there are 3,600,000 potentially dilutive common shares.
As of December 31, 2019, there were 3,675,000 potentially dilutive common shares. The dilutive common shares for the year ended December
31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share, because to do so would be anti-dilutive.

numerators and denominators used to determine basic and diluted net income/loss per common share:

Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject the
Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of receivables, cash, and cash equivalents.
All cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash
and cash equivalents are held at high credit financial institutions. These deposits are generally insured under the FDIC’s deposit
insurance coverage; however, from time to time, the deposit levels may exceed FDIC coverage levels.
The Company has a concentration of risk with respect
to trade receivables from customers and cellular providers. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had a significant concentration of receivables
(defined as customers whose receivable balances are greater than 10% of total receivables) due from two (2) customers in the amounts of
$194,509 or 52.4% and $52,843 or 14.2%. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had a significant concentration of receivables from three
(3) customers in the amounts of $89,078, or 24.4%, $77,662, or 21.3% and $48,475, or 13.3%. These receivables represented 14% and 59%
of the total receivables for the years ended December 31, 2020, and 2019, respectively.
F- 10
Concentration of Major Customer
A significant amount of the revenue is derived
from contracts with major customers and cellular providers. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company had one (1) cellular
provider that accounted for $3,337,262, or 35.7% of revenue and one (1) customer that accounted for $1,472,962, or 15.7%, of the
revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company had one (1) cellular provider that accounted for $3,728,456, or 39.6% of
revenue and one (1) customer that accounted for $2,200,761, or 23.4%, of the revenue. The loss of a major customer would create a
very negative impact on the company, which would require the company to make significant changes to reduce expenses.
Effect of Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has evaluated all other recent accounting
pronouncements and believes that none will have a significant effect on the Company’s financial statement.
NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS
January 2019 Transaction – IM Telecom Acquisition
Effective February 7, 2018, we entered into an Agreement
for the Purchase and Sale of Membership Interest (the “PMSI”) dated as of February 5, 2018, with the transaction documents
being deposited in escrow on February 7, 2018, respecting the acquisition of 100% of the membership interest in IM Telecom from its sole
owner, Trevan Morrow. The principal asset of IM Telecom was a “Lifeline Program” license (an FCC approved Compliance
Plan), the transfer of ownership of required prior approval of the FCC. Following the FCC approval of the transfer of the Lifeline
Program license to us on October 23, 2018, the PSMI was completed on January 31, 2019. At the closing, we also engaged Mr. Morrow
as an independent consultant for ninety (90) days in consideration of $100 and granted him an incentive stock option to purchase 500,000
shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.20 per share. The incentive stock option to purchase 500,000 shares to Mr. Morrow
was cancelled as discussed in NOTE 8.
The purchase price of $583,690 consisted of payments of debt and
accounts payable made by the Company on behalf of IM Telecom from the PMSI effective date of February 7, 2018, until January 31,
2019, the closing date. The purchase price allocation included the FCC license valued at $634,252, cash of $14,318, accounts
receivable of $123,959, prepaid other assets of $2,400, furniture and equipment of $1,309. As part of the transaction, the Company
also agreed to assume accounts payable of $24,271.
The transaction was accounted for under the purchase
method. The purchase price allocation to assets and liabilities assumed in the transaction was:

(ratified by the court) from Mr. Glosser in the amount of $357,914, together with arbitrator’s compensation of $4,957, for a total
award of $362,871; and Mr. Glosser’s counterclaim was found to be without merit. The Company and Mr. Glosser entered into a Settlement
Agreement and Mutual Release on February 24, 2020, pursuant to which this matter was fully settled, resolving all claims, and Mr. Glosser
paid the Company $300,000.
Apeiron Systems Working Capital Settlement
On December 31, 2018, the Company and the shareholders
of Apeiron Systems entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger. Section 2.2 Estimated Net Working Capital and Section 2.3 Final Settlement
of that agreement provided for a method to calculate and reconcile any surplus or deficit in net working capital amounts as of December
31, 2018. On November 22, 2019, the Company, Apeiron Systems and the Apeiron Systems’ shareholders reached an agreement on the final
surplus net working capital amount of $310,130 owed by Apeiron Systems to the Apeiron Systems shareholders under the Apeiron Systems Merger
Agreement. The net working capital amount was deemed to be payable by Apeiron Systems to the Apeiron Systems shareholders pro rata: 90%
or $279,117 to Joshua Ploude and 10% or $31,013 to Vyacheslav Yanson.
F- 11
On February 14, 2020, the Company, on behalf of Apeiron
Systems, made a partial payment of $5,000 towards the surplus net working capital balance of $31,013 Apeiron Systems owed to Mr. Yanson.
On March 5, 2020, the Company, on behalf of Apeiron Systems, paid Yanson $26,013, representing the final payment of the surplus net working
capital balance owed to Yanson. On March 8, 2020, the Company, on behalf of Apeiron Systems, paid Mr. Ploude $225,000. The remaining surplus
net working capital balance of $54,117 was paid to Mr. Ploude during 2020.
Euler Hermes/Sky Phone Settlement
Between March and July 2019, IM Telecom purchased
wireless handsets from Sky Phone, LLC in the amount of $192,293. Subsequently, a dispute arose between the parties regarding the amount
of the debt, a lack of sufficient transaction documentation and problems with some of the handsets. On or about December 2019, the debt
was transferred to Euler Hermes North America Insurance Company. On April 22, 2020, the parties entered into an agreement to settle the
matter whereby IM Telecom agreed to pay $80,000 in monthly payments of $4,000 over twenty (20) months. The first payment was made on May
20, 2020.
SBA Paycheck Protection Program
On April 14, 2020 the operating companies of the Company
made loan applications to participate in the Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program created as a result of
the COVID-19 pandemic. On April 15, 2020, the loan applications of Apeiron Systems, IM Telecom and KonaTel Nevada were approved and loan
proceeds in the amounts of $101,800, $20,900 and $186,300, respectively, were received. The Company has followed all prescribed loan forgiveness
guidelines provided by our local bank and the SBA by using these loan proceeds to fund employee payrolls.

Litigation
From time to time, the Company may be subject to legal

F- 13
Contract Contingencies
The Company has the normal obligation for the completion
of its cellular provider contracts in accordance with the appropriate standards of the industry and that may be provided in the contractual
agreements.
Pursuant to an Independent Contractor Agreement (the
“ICA”) effective October 17, 2019, between the Company and Charles L. Schneider, Jr., in the event that Infiniti Mobile is
granted its request for Eligible Telecommunications Carrier (“ETC”) status from the California Public Utilities Commission
(“CPUC”) to distribute Lifeline cellular phone service within the State of California, Mr. Schneider will be granted a one
(1) year Warrant, with a customary “cashless” exercise feature, to purchase 250,000 shares of the Company’s common
stock at an exercise price to be determined on the date of any such approval. The ICA was for a term of one (1) year, extendable by the
parties yearly.
Regulatory Determination
On May 17, 2019, IM Telecom was notified by the United
States Administrative Company (“USAC”) of an over-payment of Universal Service Fund reimbursements in the amount of $168,277.
On July 25, 2019, the Company entered into a Letter of Acknowledgement with the FCC and requested a twenty-four (24)-month payment plan
regarding the repayment of the over-payment amounts. While awaiting approval of this repayment plan, the Company continued to make monthly
payments against the outstanding balance. On October 15, 2020, the Company received approval of the payment plan and signed a promissory
note with Universal Service Administrative Company to repay the remainder of the unpaid balance in the amount of $67,105. The loan had
a commencement date of November 13, 2020, a term of twelve (12) months, with an annual interest rate of 12.75%. The Company agreed to
pay Universal Services Administration Company $5,986 per month for twelve (12) months, and a $1,000 Administrative Fee due on October
15, 2020. As of December 31, 2020, the outstanding balance on this promissory note was $56,559.
The Company entered into a Settlement Agreement and
Release with the former owner of IM Telecom regarding this matter, effective September 4, 2019, which was the date of delivery of the
fully executed Settlement Agreement and Release that was dated August 22, 2019, and filed with the SEC on September 4, 2019. Under the
Settlement Agreement and Release, and as part of the previous owner’s obligations to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from
any liability arising from the breach of any representations and warranties in the initial PSMI dated February 5, 2019, and filed with
the SEC on February 6, 2019, which included this liability, the vested $0.20 per share 500,000 share incentive stock option grant that
was awarded to the previous owner at the closing of the PSMI was cancelled and deemed null and void, and the previous owner was released
from any liability for the $168,277 over-payment. All of the other terms and conditions of the PSMI remain in full force and effect, including
the continuing indemnification provisions regarding all other representations and warranties.
Letters of Credit
The Company had no outstanding letters of credit as
December 31, 2020.
Going Concern
The Company generated net income during the year ended
December 31, 2020. In 2019 and 2018, the Company had been dependent upon equity financing to support its operations. In addition to net
income of $238,618 and loss of $1,584,904 for the years ended December 31, 2020, and 2019, respectively, the Company experienced cash
provided by operations of $571,546 and $107,298, respectively. The accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2020, is $5,968,489.
The Company has ameliorated any substantial doubt
issues by generating additional cash flow since the completion of our merger with KonaTel Nevada on December 18, 2017; the acquisition
of Apeiron Systems and IM Telecom; receiving cash investments through the private placement of shares of our common stock; and revenues
from the growth of IM Telecom, all of which has contributed to an improvement in our working capital, without the use of additional lines
of credit or borrowings. In addition, the Company took advantage of the Paycheck Protection Program under the CARES Act of 2020.
Our overall goal was to increase margins through cost
controls and selection of higher margin product offerings. From 2019 to 2020, our gross margins increased from 31.3% to 37.8% respectively.
Our net operating income (pre-depreciation and amortization expenses) improved 133% from 2019 to 2020. We decreased operating expenses
by 13.4% in 2020, as we continue to streamline customer offerings to drive costs down over an extended period of time. We continue to
be confident that with aggressive management and business development that we will continue to eliminate any going concern issues.
F- 14
N OTE 9 – SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company operates within two (2) reportable segments.
The Company’s management evaluates performance and allocates resources based on the profit or loss from operations. Because the
Company is a recurring revenue service business with very few physical assets, management does not use total assets by segment to make
decisions regarding operations, and therefore, the total assets disclosure by segment has not been included. Previously, the Company had
reported four (4) segments of Hosted Services, Mobile Services, Lifeline ETC and Lifeline VETC. The Company has made the decision to consolidate
and align its segment reporting by the type of service offering and believes that this reporting will provide for a more accurate view
of its lines of operation.
The reportable segments consist of Hosted Services
& Mobile Services. Mobile Services reporting will now consist of our post-paid and pre-paid cellular business.
Hosted Services – This segment includes
a suite of hosted CPaaS services including SIP/VoIP services, SMS/MMS, BOT integration, NLP (“Natural Language Processing”),
ML, mobile numbers, toll free numbers, DID landline numbers, SMS to Email, Database Dip, SD-WAN, wireless data services, voice termination
and numerous API driven services. Apeiron Systems developed, owns, and supports its hosted service platform through its dedicated
national telecommunications network. Apeiron Systems provides telecommunications services to application developers, call centers and
small and medium size businesses. Apeiron Systems markets these services through the Apeiron Systems website, independent sales agents,
ISOs and SCOs.
Mobile Services –
This segment includes retail and wholesale cellular voice/text/data services and mobile data (IoT or “Internet of Things”)
services Mobile voice/text/data and mobile data services are supported by a blend of reseller agreements with select national wireless
carriers and national wireless wholesalers. A wireless communications service reseller does not own the wireless network infrastructure
over which services are provided to its customers. Mobile voice/text/data and mobile data solutions are generally sold as traditional
post-paid service plans that may include voice/text/data or wireless data only plans. Sometimes equipment is provided which can include,
but is not limited to, phones, tablets, modems, routers, and accessories. Also included as mobile services are the resale of cellular
services to low-income consumers that qualify for the federal Lifeline program. The portion of mobile services is operated by IM Telecom,
operating under its Infiniti Mobile brand.

NOTE 10 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Stock Compensation
The Company offers stock option equity awards to directors
and key employees. Options vested in tranches and expire in five (5) years. During the year ended December 31, 2020, and 2019, the Company

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets,
management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The
ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those
temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable
income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.
Because of the historical earnings history of the
Company, the net deferred tax assets for 2020 and 2019 were fully offset by a 100% valuation allowance. The total NOL as of December 31,
2020, is $1,587,111. On December 22, 2017, the United States Government passed new tax legislation that, among other provisions, will
lower the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%. In addition to applying the new lower corporate tax rate in 2018 and thereafter to
any taxable income the Company may have, the legislation affects the way the Company can use and carry forward net operating losses previously
accumulated and results in a revaluation of deferred tax assets recorded on our balance sheet. Given that the deferred tax assets
are offset by a full valuation allowance, these changes did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position and net loss.
As long as the Company continues to be profitable, the Company will receive a reduced benefit from such deferred tax assets.
