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., a Delaware corporation, formerly known
as Dala Petroleum Corp. (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 subchapter 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. (www.apeiron.io) (“Apeiron Systems” or “Apeiron”), which is also our wholly owned subsidiary. Apeiron was
organized in 2013 and is an international hosted services Communications Platform as a Service (“CPaaS”) provider that designed,
built, owns and operates its national private core network, supporting a suite of business communications services, all accessible via
proprietary Applications Programming Interfaces (“APIs”). As a Federal Communications Commissions (“FCC”) licensed
Internet Telephony Service Provider (“ITSP”), Apeiron also holds an FCC numbering authority license. Some of Apeiron’s
hosted services include Voice over IP (“VoIP”), cellular and Over-The-Top (“OTT”) telephony, SMS/MMS messaging
and broadcast services, numbering features, including Cloud IVRs, Voicemail, Fax, Call Recording and other services through local, toll-free
and international phone numbers. Supported by its national redundant network, Apeiron also provides public and private IP network services,
including Multiprotocol Label Switching (“MPLS”), Dedicated Internet and LTE Wireless WAN solutions. Apeiron’s cloud
services include Information Data Dips, Software-Defined Wide Area Networking (“SD-WAN”) and Internet of Things (“IoT”)
data and device management. Apeiron primarily distributes its services nationally through its website, its sales staff, independent sales
agents and Independent Sales Organizations (“ISOs”).
On February 5, 2018, we entered into a purchase agreement
to acquire IM Telecom, LLC, an Oklahoma limited liability company (www.infinitimobile.com), doing business as Infiniti Mobile (“IM
Telecom” or “Infiniti Mobile”). On October 23, 2018, the FCC approved our acquisition of IM Telecom, and on January
31, 2019, we completed the purchase of IM Telecom. IM Telecom operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of KonaTel. It is an FCC licensed
Eligible Telecommunications Carrier (“ETC”) and is one of twenty-two (22) original FCC licensed wireless cellular resellers
to hold an FCC approved Lifeline Compliance Plan since 2012, of which approximately twelve (12) license holders remain active today. The
FCC has not approved (granted) a new wireless reseller Lifeline Compliance Plan since 2012. As a licensed ETC, IM Telecom is currently
authorized to distribute Lifeline subsidized mobile voice/data service in nine (9) states. In addition to Lifeline, IM Telecom is also
an FCC licensed Affordable Connectivity Program (“ACP”) provider, authorized to distribute ACP subsidized high-speed mobile
data service in the forty-eight (48) contiguous states plus Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico. Lifeline is an FCC program that provides
subsidized, fixed or mobile telecommunications services to low-income Americans. ACP is an FCC program that provides subsidized high-speed
wireless data services to low-income Americans. IM Telecom distributes Lifeline and ACP services under its Infiniti Mobile brand name
through its website, sales staff, retail location and ISOs. IM Telecom also offers non-Lifeline and non-ACP services throughout the United
States.
Apeiron Systems is headquartered in Los Angeles, California.
It also has some management staff in Plano, Texas, customer service and software engineering resources staffed in Johnstown, Pennsylvania
and software engineering services staffed in Europe and Asia. IM Telecom is headquartered in Plano, Texas, and operates a retail operation
in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
We are headquartered in Plano, Texas. Apeiron Systems
has fourteen (14) full-time employees; IM Telecom has twenty-three (23) full-time employees and two (2) part-time employees; and we have
four (4) full-time employees.
Principal Products
or Services and their Markets
Our principal products and
services, across our two wholly owned subsidiaries, Apeiron Systems and IM Telecom, include our CPaaS suite of services (SIP/VoIP, SMS/MMS),
wholesale and retail mobile voice and mobile data IoT services, wholesale voice termination services, and our ETC and ACP subsidized services
for low-income Americans. Except for our ETC Lifeline services distributed in up to nine (9) states and our ACP services distributed in
the forty-eight (48) contiguous states, Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico, our Apeiron Systems’ products and services are available
worldwide and subject to U.S., international and local/national regulations.
8
We generate revenue from
two (2) primary sources, Hosted Services and Mobile Services:
·
Our Hosted Services include a suite of hosted CPaaS services within the Apeiron Systems’ cloud platform, including Cloud IVRs, Voicemail, Fax, Call Recording and other services provided with local, toll-free and international phone numbers. Apeiron also delivers public and private IP network services from its national redundant network backbone, including MPLS, Dedicated Internet and LTE Wireless WAN solutions. Additionally, Apeiron’s Cloud Services include Information Data Dips, SD-WAN and IoT data and device management. These Hosted Services are marketed nationally and internationally through the Apeiron website, its sales staff, independent sales agents and ISOs.
·
Our Mobile Services include retail and wholesale cellular voice/text/data services and IoT mobile data services through our subsidiaries Apeiron Systems and IM Telecom. Mobile voice/text/data and IoT 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 typically 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 in our Mobile Services segment is the distribution of government subsidized mobile voice service and mobile data service by IM Telecom under its Infiniti Mobile brand and FCC license to low-income American households that qualify for the FCC’s Lifeline mobile voice service program and/or the FCC’s ACP mobile data program. Even though government programs like Lifeline have existed since 1985, these programs, along with newer programs like the ACP program, are subject to change and may have a material impact on our Mobile Services business if changed, reduced or eliminated.
Basis of Presentation
Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited condensed interim financial
statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) with respect to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include
all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited interim financial statements
furnished reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for
a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the
full year. These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company
for the year ended December 31, 2021.
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. Estimates in these financial statements include
the allowance for doubtful receivables, allowance for inventory obsolescence, the estimated useful lives of property and equipment, and
stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Basis of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include
the Company and three wholly owned corporate subsidiaries, KonaTel Nevada, Apeiron Systems and IM Telecom. All significant intercompany
transactions are eliminated.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic 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
earnings per common share calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive
common share equivalents outstanding. Dilutive common share equivalents are computed by using the “Treasury Stock Method,”
which computes the number of new shares that may potentially be created by unexercised options. Diluted common share equivalents are stock
based compensation options. The dilutive common shares derived from stock options are 4,490,000 and 4,490,000 , for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share, because to do so would
be anti-dilutive.

and believes that none will have a significant effect on the Company’s financial statements.
NOTE 2 – INVENTORY
Inventory primarily consists of sim cards and cell
phones, which are stored at our warehouse, or have been delivered to distributors in the field. Inventories are stated at cost using the
first-in, first-out (FIFO) valuation method. On a monthly basis, inventory is counted at our warehouse facility, and on a quarterly basis
inventory is reviewed for obsolescence and counted for accuracy with distributors. At September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company

NOTE 6 – NOTES PAYABLE
In 2020, the Company was granted a $ 150,000 Economic
Injury Disaster Loan (“EIDL”) from the SBA. The term of the loan was thirty ( 30 ) years, at an interest rate of 3.75 % on advanced
funds. Installment payments were to begin twelve (12) months following the loan date but were deferred through September of 2022. As of
June 30, 2022, the outstanding balance was paid in full and there are no further obligations due the SBA.
On June 14, 2022, the Company and its wholly owned
subsidiary companies entered into a Note Purchase Agreement and related Guarantee and Security Agreement with CCUR Holdings, Inc. (as
collateral agent), and Symbolic Logic, Inc., whereby the Company pledged its assets to secure $ 3,150,000 in debt financing. The term is
for a period of twelve ( 12 ) months, at an interest rate of 15 %, with two successive six-month optional extensions. As a condition of securing
the loan, the Company paid a 3% origination fee, and other legal and closing expenses, in the amount of $ 153,284 , resulting in a net loan
balance of $ 2,984,181 . The loan costs of $ 153,284 and the net loan balance of $ 2,984,181 are to be amortized over a 12-month period. Proceeds
of the loan were used to retire the $ 150,000 SBA “EIDL” Loan and will be used in an ongoing capacity to support the acceleration
of our mobile services growth strategy.
NOTE 7 – CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS
Litigation
From time to time, the Company may be subject to legal
proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of business. As of September 30, 2022, there are no ongoing legal proceedings.
Contract Contingency
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.
Tax Audits
In June of 2021, the Company received an audit determination
and assessment from the State of Pennsylvania related to sales and use tax for the audit period of January 1, 2016, through September
30, 2019. The assessment is in the amount of $ 115,000 , including interest and penalties calculated on sales made inside and outside Pennsylvania.
The Company has recorded the full amount of this assessment. The Company appealed the assessment in August 2021, and at the request of
the state, provided additional information to support its appeal. The Company’s position is that Pennsylvania has no sales tax authority
to levy and collect sales tax on sales made outside of Pennsylvania. The Company initially recorded an expected liability of $ 7,000 , based
on known sales inside Pennsylvania. The State of Pennsylvania rejected an appeal by the Company. The Company remains in discussions with
the State of Pennsylvania and is working towards a plan to pay the full amount of the liability, under the possibility of an extended
payout period. The Company believes this is the best course of action, as following the final payoff of the liability, the Company can
re-open an appeal with the state for a refund of the liability.
Letters of Credit
The Company had no outstanding letters of credit as
of September 30, 2022.
12
NOTE 8 – 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.
The reportable segments consist of Hosted Services
and Mobile Services.
Hosted Services – This segment includes
a suite of hosted CPaaS services within the Apeiron Systems’ cloud platform, including Cloud IVRs, Voicemail, Fax, Call Recording
and other services provided with local, toll-free, and international phone numbers. Apeiron also delivers public and private IP network
services from its national redundant network backbone including MPLS, Dedicated Internet and LTE Wireless WAN solutions. Additionally,
Apeiron’s Cloud Services include Information Data Dips, SD-WAN and IoT data and device management. These Hosted Services are marketed
nationally through Apeiron’s website, its own sales staff, independent sales agents, and ISOs.
Mobile Services – This segment includes
retail and wholesale cellular voice/text/data services and IoT mobile data services through our subsidiaries Apeiron Systems and IM Telecom.
Mobile voice/text/data and IoT 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 typically 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 in our Mobile Services segment is the distribution
of cellular voice service and mobile data service by IM Telecom under its Infiniti Mobile brand to low-income American households that
qualify for the FCC’s Lifeline voice service program and the FCC’s ACP mobile data program. Even though government programs
like Lifeline have existed since 1985, these programs, along with newer programs like the ACP program, are subject to change and may have
a material impact on our Mobile Services business if changed, reduced, or eliminated.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
When used in this Quarterly Report, the words “may,”
“will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “continue,” “estimate,” “project,”
“intend,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27a of
the Securities Act and Section 21e of the Exchange Act regarding events, conditions and financial trends that may affect our future plans
of operations, business strategy, operating results, and financial position. Persons reviewing this Quarterly Report are cautioned
that any forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties and actual results
may differ materially from those included within the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. Such factors
are discussed further below under “Trends and Uncertainties,” and include general economic factors and conditions that may
directly or indirectly impact our financial condition or results of operations.
Overview of Current and Planned Business Operations
We continue to pursue market
opportunities for the distribution of our current products and services described in our “ Principal Products or Services and
their Markets ” summary on page 8 of this Quarterly Report. In addition, we continue to pursue expanded market distribution
opportunities, development of new products and services, the addition of new lines of business and accretive acquisition opportunities
that may enhance or expand our current product and service offerings.
Results of Operations
As previously discussed in our second quarter, 2022
quarterly report (Form 10-Q), due to growth opportunities within our Mobile Services market segment, through our wholly owned subsidiary,
Infiniti Mobile, Management accelerated Mobile Services growth in the second and third quarters of this year.
We continue to expand our distribution channels, including
field agents and internet sales. As a result, the Company recognized increases in Mobile Services revenue and direct costs during the
quarter ending September 30, 2022. Since the Company may not capitalize customer acquisition costs over the average life of a customer,
we recognize the full incremental cost of each new Mobile Service customer at the start of service, which is typically recovered within
120 days after activation.
During this period of Mobile Services growth, Management
foresaw and previously disclosed a temporary reduction of Mobile Services gross profit; however, as we follow a managed/stepped approach
to growth, starting in the fourth quarter 2022, Management will marginally reduce Mobile Services growth to allow gross profit to accelerate.
In addition to growth within our Mobile Services segment,
we also continue to develop our Hosted Services market segment through our wholly owned subsidiary, Apeiron Systems. As a result of an
increase in cloud communications sales opportunities, we are experiencing an increase in overall SMS & MMS messaging, voice usage
(origination & termination of domestic and international traffic), and LTE data volume across our national CPaaS cloud network. Additionally,
Apeiron recently executed a new three-year agreement (extension) with one of its largest customers. Apeiron’s national cloud communications
platform supports this customers’ network, which provides inmate communications services to prisons across the United States. This
new agreement runs until September 2025 and includes monthly minimum revenue commitments at twice the previous commitment, totaling a
minimum commitment of at least $7.2 million over the full term of the contract.
Comparison of the three months ended September
30, 2022, to the three months ended September 30, 2021
For the three months ended September 30, 2022, we
had $5,880,333 in revenues from operations compared to $3,612,861 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, for a total revenue increase
of $2,267,472. This increase in revenue was directly related to the growth in our Mobile Services segment. Mobile Services expansion continued
under the Lifeline and ACP program. The revenues were derived as a result of delivering high-speed mobile data service to low-income consumers.
For the three months ended September 30, 2022, our
cost of revenue was $4,969,251 compared to $1,988,624 in the three months ended September 30, 2021, for a cost of revenue increase of
$2,980,627. Our cost of revenue increase was primarily the result of increased network, handset and sales compensation costs related to
distributing additional services.
For the three months ended September 30, 2022, we
had gross profit of $911,082 compared to $1,624,237 in the three months ended September 30, 2021, for a gross profit decrease of $713,155.
This decline is directly related to up-front costs incurred by accelerating growth to acquire new customers within our Mobile Services
segment.
15
For the three months ended September 30, 2022, total
operating expenses were $2,054,037 compared to $1,252,632 in the three months ended September 30, 2021, for an increase of $801,405. This
increase was due primarily to additions in payroll and related expenses resulting from the hiring of operations management and customer
support positions in both of our subsidiaries, Apeiron Systems and IM Telecom.
For the three months ended September 30, 2022, other
income (expense) was $(202,559) compared to $(51,770) in the quarter ended September 30, 2021.
For the three months ended September 30, 2022, we
had a net loss of $1,345,514 compared to net income of $319,836 in the three months ended September 30, 2021. The loss for the three months
ended September 30, 2022, was impacted by an acceleration of growth in our Mobile Services segment that increased our customer acquisition
costs. Customer acquisition costs may not be amortized over the life of the customer, but must be recorded in full at the time of customer
activation.
Comparison of the nine months ended September
30, 2022, to the nine months ended September 30, 2021
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we had
$15,231,288 in revenues from operations compared to $8,919,573 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, for a total revenue increase
of $6,311,715. This increase in revenue was directly related to the growth in both our Hosted Services and Mobile Services segments. Mobile
Services expansion continued under the Lifeline and ACP programs. The revenues were derived as a result of delivering high-speed mobile
data service to low-income consumers.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, our
cost of revenue was $12,230,378 compared to $4,946,786 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, for a cost of revenue increase of
$7,283,592. Our cost of revenue increase was primarily the result of increased network, handset and sales compensation costs related to
distributing additional services.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we had
a gross profit of $3,000,910 compared to $3,972,787 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, for a gross profit decrease of $971,877.
This decline is directly related to up-front costs incurred by accelerating growth to acquire new customers within our Mobile Services
segment.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, total
operating expenses were $5,470,296 compared to $3,377,950 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, for an increase of $2,092,346.
This increase was due primarily to additions in payroll and related expenses resulting from the hiring of operations management and customer
support positions in both of our subsidiaries, Apeiron Systems and IM Telecom.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, other
income (expense) was $(398,931) compared to $(166,638) for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we had
a net loss of $2,868,317 compared to net income of $428,199 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The loss for the nine months
ended September 30, 2022, was impacted by an acceleration of growth in our Mobile Services segment that increased our customer acquisition
costs and may not be amortized over the life of the customer but must be recorded in full at the time of customer activation.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2022, we had $2,243,195 in cash
and cash equivalents on hand.
In comparing liquidity between the nine-month periods
ending September 30, 2022, and September 30, 2021, cash increased by 65.1%. This increase was primarily attributable to short-term debt
financing secured in Q2 2022. Liabilities and total overall debt increased by 238.4% in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022,
when compared to September 30, 2021. This change was primarily the result of the short-term loan received in Q2 2022. As we scale capabilities
alongside our growth strategy in our Mobile Services customer base, we expect it to provide long-term liquidity.
Our current ratio (current assets divided by our current
liabilities) decreased to .88 as of September 30, 2022, compared to 2.05 as of September 30, 2021. Working capital decreased by 142.3%.
Cash Flow from Operations
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, cash
flow used in operating activities was $1,606,058, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, cash flow provided by operating activities
was $636,557.
16
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, no
cash flow was used in investing activities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, $10,000 cash flow was used in investing activities.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net
cash flow provided by financing activities was $2,916,468, due to securing short-term debt financing for the business. For the nine months
ended September 30, 2021, net cash flow used in financing activities was $16,970, for net cash received from exercises of stock options
after repayments of notes payable.
Going Concern
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the
Company generated a net loss of $2,868,317, compared to net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, of $428,199. The Company
sourced short-term financing during the second quarter to help facilitate its growing Mobile Services segment and support higher customer
acquisition costs (sales). The accumulated deficit as of September 30, 2022, is $8,213,821.
The Company has continued to ameliorate any substantial
going concern doubt by generating additional cash flow in the first quarter of 2022, the year ended 2021, and the year ended 2020, and
through securing financing in June 2022. As the Company continues its growth strategy and increases its Mobile Services customer base,
additional operating capital may be required to support the related increase in customer acquisition costs (sales).
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We had no Off-Balance Sheet arrangements during the
three-month period ended September 30, 2022.
Critical Accounting Policies
Earnings Per Share
We follow ASC Topic 260 to account for the earnings
per share. Basic earnings per common share calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares
of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share calculations are determined by dividing net income available
to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. As of September
30, 2022, there are 4,490,000 potentially dilutive common shares derived from stock options, and as of September 30, 2021, there are 2,676,266
potentially dilutive common shares derived from stock options.
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 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 September 30, 2022, the Company had a significant concentration of receivables
(defined as customers whose receivable balances are greater than 10% of total receivables) due from one (1) customer in the amount of
$1,305,264, or 86.8%. It should be noted that the largest customer is the FCC. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had a significant
concentration of receivables from two (2) customers in the amounts of $783,431, or 63.9%, and $194,647, or 15.9%.
Concentration of Major Customer
A significant amount of the revenue is derived from
contracts with major customers and cellular partners. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company had two (2) customers
that accounted for $9,915,189 or 65.1% and $2,639,730 or 17.3% of revenue, respectively. For the nine-month period ended September 30,
2021, the Company had two (2) customers that accounted for $3,297,984, or 37.0% and $2,818,465 or 31.6%, of revenue.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Management’s Quarterly Report on Internal
Control Over Financial Reporting
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures as
defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act that are designed to ensure that material information relating to us is
made known to the officers who certify our financial reports and to other members of senior management and the Board of Directors. These
disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports that are filed or submitted
under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and
forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required
to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management,
including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness, as of September 30, 2022, of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation,
our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
None.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Not required; however, see Item 1A. Risk Factors,
Part I, commencing on page nine (9) of the Company’s 10-K Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, filed with
the SEC on April 14, 2022, for a list of “Risk Factors,” which Annual Report can be accessed by Hyperlink in Part II, Item
6 hereof.
The following risk factor supplements the “Risk
Factor” on cybersecurity contained in our referenced Annual Report and titled: “Our reliance on information management and
transaction systems to operate our business exposes us to cyber incidents and hacking of our sensitive information if our outsourced service
providers experience a security breach.”
We face risks relating to cyberattack.
Our business operations are dependent upon secure
information technology systems and telecommunications networks. Breaches of these systems and networks through cyberattack or other unauthorized
access may have numerous negative effects on our business, including lost sales and damage to customer relationships; disruptions on our
operations; reputational harm and negative publicity; lost trust from our customers, partners and employees; lawsuits resulting from the
compromise of sensitive customer or employee information; costs of mitigation; and remediation and security enhancement expenses.
The following risk factor supplements the Risk Factor
titled “Our business operations could be impacted by the current world health crisis” that is also contained in our Annual
Report.
18
The COVID-19 pandemic presents ongoing risks to
our business.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic,
governments and other authorities around the world implemented significant measures intended to control the spread of the virus.
While many of these restrictions have been lifted as the rates of COVID-19 infection have decreased or stabilized and as various
vaccines have become more widely available, a resurgence of COVID-19 and the impact of variants of the virus that causes COVID-19
may result in the reinstatement of social distancing measures; business closures; restrictions on operations; and quarantines and
travel bans. In addition, any government mandates that require COVID-19 vaccination or other employee behaviors may result in
employee attrition at the Company or its suppliers or customers and may create difficulties in satisfying future employment and
supply requirements.
In addition to the risk factors identified in our
Annual Report as supplemented above, the following risks are material to the Company’s future operations. These additional risk
factors should be read in conjunction with the Risk Factor disclosure contained in our Annual Report.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine may disrupt global
telecommunications networks.
While we do not have any direct exposure to Russia,
Belarus or Ukraine through our operations, employee base, investments or sourcing of goods and services, third party companies with whom
we do business may use Ukraine-based software developers. These relationships may be affected by the global geopolitical disruptions caused
by the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February, 2022. We also face the risk that the invasion and ongoing war may result in disruptions
to national and international telecommunications networks, either through cyberattacks by state actors or others, physical damage to the
networks themselves or due to interruptions in the supply chain for the materials and services necessary to maintain them. The likelihood
and the potential size and scope of any such damage or disruptions is difficult to predict. However, they may have significant negative
effects on the Company’s future business and results of operations.
Rising inflation may negatively affect our operating results.
During 2021 and 2022, global economic conditions have
deteriorated, with significantly increased inflation and the risks of further inflation and recession in 2023 and beyond. These unfavorable
economic conditions may lead to decreased demand for our products or services in the future, especially by our lower-income customers,
which would have a negative effect on our business and results of operations. In particular, inflation could affect the price of equipment
for the services provided in our Lifeline Program. The ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine and related sanctions on Russia may also lead
to higher prices for commodities used in the production of telephones and other technologies used in the global telecommunications industry,
which may result in decreased demand for our products and services. To the extent that we are unable to increase the prices of our goods
and services in response to increased costs, our operating margins will be compressed.
Supply chain disruptions could adversely affect
our business.
Supply chain dislocations resulting from global geopolitical
and public health issues such as the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the COVID-19 pandemic and other causes may have a material adverse impact
on our business and results of operations. Such disruptions may increase our costs of doing business, including through significant increases
in the price of our products and their components and materials and the related costs of shipment, including equipment used in the Lifeline
Program. Supply chain disruptions may also adversely affect our access to suppliers, manufacturers, customers and vendors and may impair
our ability to perform contracted services. Delays in our ability to meet our obligations as a result of supply chain issues may negatively
affect our reputation, our relationships with customers and our ability to deliver products and services.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
See NOTE 9-Stockholders’ Equity and NOTE 10-Subsequent
Events, of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report respecting the grant of certain additional
incentive stock options during and subsequent to the quarter ended September 30, 2022, and the exercise and payment of two (2) incentive
stock option grants.
The incentive stock options were issued in reliance
on the exemption from registration under the Securities Act provided in Section 4(a)(2) thereof and applicable state law registration
exemptions. The underlying shares were registered with the SEC pursuant to an S-8 Registration Statement filed with the SEC on August
25, 2021.
Item 3. Defaults upon Senior Securities
None; not applicable.
19
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosure
Not applicable.
Item 5. Other Information
(i) Additionally, earlier today, the Company disseminated
a press release ( Exhibit 99 hereto) regarding the earnings set forth in this Quarterly Report, and this press release is being
furnished for the purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act and “SEC Regulation FD Disclosure” only. This press release
shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into our filings under the Securities Act of the Exchange Act.
(ii) On August 15, 2022, the Company corrected the
Incentive Stock Option Agreement of D. Sean McEwen that was granted to him on December 18, 2017, as an exchange of his shares of KonaTel,
a Nevada corporation (“KonaTel Nevada”), for common shares and an option to acquire common shares of the Company under the
merger whereby the Company acquired KonaTel Nevada from Mr. McEwen, its sole shareholder, to exclude the “incentive” and “employee”
provisions, among other related provisions, with all terms of the grant and exercise dates and term of the stock options granted therein
remaining unchanged. Our CFO (Brian Riffle) has determined that the revisions will have no material adverse impact on our prior or current
financial statements. This action required the withdrawal of the 1,500,000 shares underlying the initially issued Incentive Stock Option
Agreement granted to Mr. McEwen from the unexercised incentive stock options registered on Form S-8 of the SEC on August 25, 2021, under
our 2018 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”), and results in the shares of our common stock underlying the corrected Incentive
Stock Option Agreement being “restricted securities” if and when exercised by Mr. McEwen. Our S-8 Registration Statement was
amended to reflect this action on August 22, 2022. It does not change the strike price, vesting or the number of shares of Mr. McEwen’s
option or the number of shares reserved for issuance under our Plan. This action was approved on the referenced date in good faith by
the Board of Directors on a reasonable factual basis and related documentation presented to them by legal counsel for the Company prior
to such approval. Mr. McEwen, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, abstained from voting on this matter. See Exhibit 10.1 in
Part II, Item 6, for reference to a copy of the corrected Stock Option Agreement.
