Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited – prepared by management)

(Expressed in United States Dollars)

December 31, 2023

 

NOTE 1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS

 

VOIP-PAL.com, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Nevada in September 1997 as All American Casting International, Inc. The Company’s registered office is located at 7215 Bosque Blvd, Suite 102, Waco, Texas in the United States of America.

 

Since March 2004, the Company has developed technology and patents related to Voice-over-Internet Protocol (VoIP) processes. All business activities prior to March 2004 have been abandoned and written off to deficit. The Company operates in one reportable segment being the acquisition and development of VoIP-related intellectual property including patents and technology. All intangible assets are located in the United States of America

 

In December 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of Digifonica (International) Limited, a private company controlled by the CEO of the Company, whose assets included several patents and technology developed for the VoIP market.

 

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company is in various stages of product development and continues to incur losses and, as at December 31, 2023, had an accumulated deficit of $93,754,457 (September 30, 2023 - $93,185,588). The ability of the Company to continue operations as a going concern is dependent upon raising additional working capital, settling outstanding debts and generating profitable operations. These material uncertainties raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Should the going concern assumption not continue to be appropriate, further adjustments to carrying values of assets and liabilities may be required. There can be no assurance that capital will be available as necessary to meet these continued developments and operating costs or, if the capital is available, that it will be on terms acceptable to the Company. The issuances of additional stock by the Company may result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of its current shareholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase the Company’s liabilities and future cash commitments. If the Company is unable to obtain financing in the amounts and on terms deemed acceptable, its business and future success may be adversely affected.

 

Additionally, as the Company’s stated objective is to monetize its patent suite through the licensing or sale of its intellectual property (“IP”), the Company being forced to litigate or to defend its IP claims through litigation casts substantial doubt on its future to continue as a going concern. IP litigation is generally a costly process, and in the absence of revenue the Company must raise capital to continue its own defense and to validate its claims – in the event of a failure to defend its patent claims, either because of lack of funding, a court ruling against the Company or because of a protracted litigation process, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional capital to pay for an appeals process or a lengthy trial. The outcome of any litigation process may have a significant adverse effect on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The outbreak of COVID-19 and political upheavals in various countries have caused significant volatility in commodity prices. While these effects are expected to be temporary, the duration of the business disruptions internationally and related financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

 

NOTE 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).

 

Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

NOTE 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a consolidated basis and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Digifonica. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. As at December 31, 2023, Digifonica had no activities.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements required management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Where estimates have been used, financial results as determined by actual events could differ from those estimates. Some of the more significant accounting estimates used in the preparation of the company’s financial statements include deferred income taxes, the valuation of equity-related instruments issued, and the useful life and impairment of intangible assets.

 

Cash

 

Cash consists of cash on hand, cash held in trust, and monies held in checking and savings accounts. The Company had $1,912,491 in cash on December 31, 2023 (September 30, 2023 - $2,217,589).

 

Fixed Assets

 

Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, and are depreciated using the straight-line method over their useful lives; Furniture and computers – 5 years.

 

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets, consisting of VoIP communication patent intellectual properties (IP) are recorded at cost and amortized over the assets estimated life on a straight-line basis. Management considers factors such as remaining life of the patents, technological usefulness and other factors in estimating the life of the assets.

 

The carrying value of intangible assets are reviewed for impairment by management of the Company at least annually or upon the occurrence of an event which may indicate that the carrying amount may be less than its fair value. If impaired, the Company will write- down such impairment. In addition, the useful life of the intangible assets will be evaluated by management at least annually or upon the occurrence of an event which may indicate that the useful life may have changed.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, defines fair value as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The fair value should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity.

 

The Company classifies financial assets and liabilities as held-for-trading, available-for-sale, held-to-maturity, loans and receivables or other financial liabilities depending on their nature. Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized at fair value on their initial recognition, except for those arising from certain related party transactions which are accounted for at the transferor’s carrying amount or exchange amount.

 

Financial assets and liabilities classified as held-for-trading are measured at fair value, with gains and losses recognized in net income. Financial assets classified as held-to-maturity, loans and receivables, and financial liabilities other than those classified as held-for-trading are measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest method of amortization. Financial assets classified as available-for-sale are measured at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses being recognized as other comprehensive income until realized, or if an unrealized loss is considered other than temporary, the unrealized loss is recorded in income.

NOTE 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments (cont’d)

 

U.S. GAAP establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the amount that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The standard describes the following fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

 

Level 2: Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

The Company classifies its financial instruments as follows: Cash is classified as held to maturity financial asset and is measured at amortized cost. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are classified as other financial liabilities, and have a fair value approximating their carrying value, due to their short-term nature.

 

Income Taxes

 

Deferred income taxes have been provided for temporary differences between financial statement and income tax reporting under the asset and liability method, using expected tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided when realization is not considered more likely than not.

 

The Company’s policy is to classify income tax assessments, if any, for interest expense and for penalties in general and administrative expenses. The Company’s income tax returns are subject to examination by the IRS and corresponding states, generally for three years after they are filed.

 

Loss per Common Share

 

Basic loss per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted income per share includes potentially dilutive securities such as stock options and share purchase warrants outstanding during each period. To calculate diluted loss per share the Company uses the treasury stock method and the if-converted method.

 

For the period ended December 31, 2023 and the year ended September 30, 2023, there were no potentially dilutive securities included in the calculation of weighted-average common shares outstanding.

 

Derivatives

 

We account for derivatives pursuant to ASC 815, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. All derivative instruments are recognized in the consolidated financial statements and measured at fair value regardless of the purpose or intent for holding them. We determine fair value of warrants and other option type instruments based on option pricing models. The changes in fair value of these instruments are recorded in income or expense.

 

Preferred Shares

 

The preferred shares carry super-voting rights with each shared issued having the equivalent of 1,550 votes. Preferred shares issued by the Company are not convertible into or exchangeable for common shares and they are not exchangeable for equity nor redeemable for cash. The preferred shares do not pay dividends. The preferred shares cannot be sold, exchanged or transferred to another party.

 

Stock-based compensation

 

The Company recognizes compensation expenses for all stock-based payments made to employees, directors and others based on the estimated fair values of its common stock on the date of issuance.

NOTE 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

 

Stock-based compensation (cont’d)

 

The Company determines the fair value of the share-based compensation payments granted as either the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. If the fair value of the equity instruments issued is used, it is measured using the stock price and other measurement assumptions as of the earlier of either the date at which a commitment for performance to earn the equity instrument is reached or the date the performance is complete.

 

The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock awards with service conditions on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is included in operations. Stock option expense is recognized over the option’s vesting period.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

The Company’s policy is to maintain cash with reputable financial institutions or in retainers with trusted vendors. The Company has at times had cash balances at financial institutions in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) Insurance Limit of $250,000; however, has not experienced any losses to date. As of December 31, 2023, the Company’s bank operating account balances exceeded the FDIC Insurance Limit of $250,000 by $1,662,491.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Adoption

 

The Company has determined that there are no significant newly issued accounting pronouncements that are applicable to the Company’s business or that no material effect is expected on the consolidated financial statements as a result of future adoption.

 

NOTE 4. PURCHASE OF DIGIFONICA

 

The Company acquired Digifonica in December 2013. Pursuant to the terms in the Share Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”), the Company acquired 100% of Digifonica from the seller, the CEO of the Company (the “Seller”), for a cash payment of $800,000 and 389,023,561 common shares of the Company. The assets acquired through the acquisition were VoIP-related patented technology, including patents for Lawful Intercept, routing, billing and rating, mobile gateway, advanced interoperability solutions, intercepting voice over IP communications, and uninterrupted transmission of internet protocol transmissions during endpoint changes.

 

The SPA included an anti-dilution clause (the “Anti-Dilution Clause”) that required the Company to maintain the Seller’s percentage ownership of the Company at 40% by issuing the Seller a proportionate number of common shares of any future issuance of the Company’s common shares. Shares issued pursuant to the Anti-Dilution Clause were recorded as a share issuance cost within the Additional Paid-in Capital account (Notes 8 and 10).

 

During the year ended September 30, 2021, on April 12, 2021, the SPA was amended to provide that: a) from its inception until March 31, 2021, the Company would issue warrants to purchase common shares of the Company in an equivalent amount to and instead of the required shares being issued pursuant to the Anti-Dilution Clause; and b) the Anti-Dilution Clause would be null and void from April 1, 2021 forward. As a result of this amendment, the Seller returned 513,535,229 common shares to the treasury of the Company and relinquished his right to receive an additional 107,935,333 common shares in exchange for 621,470,562 warrants to purchase common shares at a price of $0.021 for a period of ten years from the date of issue.

 

During the year ended September 30, 2023, on April 23, 2023, the SPA was further amended to: a) retroactively reinstate the Anti-Dilution Clause that had been nullified by the amendments made to the STA in April 2021 so that the Company is now required to issue warrants to purchase common shares of the Company in an equivalent amount to and instead of the required shares being issued pursuant to the original Anti-Dilution Clause; and b) require the Company to issue preferred shares with super-voting rights in a sufficient amount in order for the Seller to maintain his 40% voting rights in the Company while his warrants issued pursuant to the original and reinstated Anti-Dilution Clause remain unexercised (“2023 Amendments”). Each of the warrant issuance and the preferred share issuance required under the 2023 Amendments are to occur at the close of each quarterly reporting period. As a result of the 2023 Amendments, the Seller was issued 831,466,899 share purchase warrants and 138,420 series A preferred shares on June 30, 2023. Shares and warrants issued pursuant to the Anti-Dilution Clause are recorded as a share issuance cost within the additional paid-in capital account (Notes 10).

 

NOTE 5. RETAINER

 

The Company has retainers with certain of its professional service providers. The balance due on these prepaid retainers was $27,262 as of December 31, 2023, and $36,183 as of September 30, 2023. The Company recognizes the expense from these retainers as they are invoiced and the invoiced charges are deducted from the various providers’ prepaid retainer balances.

Non-Patent Litigation

Locksmith Financial Corporation, Inc. et al. (Plaintiff(s)) v VoIP-Pal.com Inc. et al (Defendant(s)) (Case No A-20-807745-C) filed in Clark County District Court.

 

On January 1, 2020, the Plaintiffs filed suit in Nevada District Court claiming that they were owed 95,832,000 Voip-Pal common shares from a previous case involving the Plaintiff and the Defendant that had been through a jury trial in 2019, in which the jury had made an award to the Plaintiff that was monetary only, and did not include said shares - following the jury’s decision in the 2019 trial, the Plaintiff accepted the award and waived their right to appeal. Voip-Pal vigorously disputed the Plaintiff’s 2020 claims on the basis of claim preclusion (the 2020 claims were addressed in the previous action in 2019 and are now precluded); that Plaintiffs’ claims are untimely, and that the Plaintiffs no longer have standing to bring their claims.

 

During the year ended September 30, 2022, the Court entered a judgment in favor of VoIP-Pal.com Inc and co-defendants, dismissing the 2020 case. The Plaintiffs filed an appeal with the Nevada Supreme Court.

 

During the year ended September 30, 2023, following a hearing of the appeal, the Nevada Supreme Court ruled to reverse the lower court’s judgment and remanded the case back to the lower court for further proceedings. The Defendants (Voip-Pal et al) filed a motion to the Supreme Court for reconsideration, however that motion was denied, and a trial date was set for November 28, 2023.

 

During the three months ended December 31, 2023,on November 30, 2023, after the completion of trial, the Eighth Judicial District Court for the State of Nevada rendered its decision in favor of VoIP-Pal upon all claims in the case, ruling that the Plaintiffs had not met their burden of proof with respect to any of its claims against VoIP-Pal et al, awarding no damages to Locksmith and specifically ruling that Locksmith take nothing as a result of the litigation. The case is now closed.

 

Performance Bonus Payable

 

In 2016, the board of directors authorized the Company to provide a performance bonus (the “Performance Bonus”) of up to 3% of the capital stock of the Company by way of the issuance of Common shares from its treasury to an as yet undetermined group of related and non-related parties upon the occurrence of a bonusable event, defined as the successful completion of a sale of the Company or substantially all its assets, or a major licensing transaction. In order to provide maximum flexibility to the Company with respect to determining the level of Performance Bonus payable, and who may qualify to receive a pro-rata share of such a Performance Bonus, the Company authorized full discretion to the Board in making such determinations.

 

In 2019, the board of directors authorized the increase of the Performance Bonus to up to 10% of the capital stock of the Company. Concurrently, the directors authorized 66.67% of the Performance Bonus to be issued in an advance payment of an aggregate 127,000,000 common shares (“Bonus Shares”) to a group of related and non-related parties, which included members of management, a director and several consultants. 30,000,000 of the Bonus Shares are restricted from trading under Rule 144 and subject to a voluntary lock-up agreement under which they cannot be traded, pledged, hypothecated, transferred or sold by the holder until such time as the Company has met the requirements of the bonusable event as described above.

 

As at December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023, no bonusable event had occurred and there was no Performance Bonus payable.

CORPORATE HISTORY, OVERVIEW AND PRINCIPAL BUSINESS

 

VoIP-PAL.com Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Nevada in September 1997 as All American Casting International, Inc. and changed its name to VOIP MDI.com in 2004 and subsequently to Voip-Pal.Com Inc. in 2006. Since March 2004, the Company has been in the development stage of becoming a Voice-over-Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) re-seller, a provider of a proprietary transactional billing platform tailored to the points and air mile business, and a provider of anti-virus applications for smartphones. All business activities prior to March 2004 have been abandoned and written off to deficit.

 

In 2013, the Company acquired Digifonica International (DIL) Limited (“Digifonica”), to fund and co-develop Digifonica’s patent suite. Digifonica had been founded in 2003 with the vision that the internet would be the future of all forms of telecommunications - a team of twenty top engineers with expertise in Linux and Internet telephony developed and wrote a software suite with applications that provided solutions for several core areas of internet connectivity. In order to properly test the applications, Digifonica built and operated three production nodes in Vancouver, Canada (Peer 1), London, UK (Teliasonera), and Denmark. Upon successfully developing the technology, Digifonica filed for patents with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”).

 

The Digifonica patents formed the basis for the Company’s current intellectual property, now a worldwide portfolio of twenty-seven issued and pending patents primarily designed for the broadband VoIP market.

 

The Company’s intellectual property value is derived from its issued and pending patents. The inventions described in these patents, among other things, provide the means to integrate VoIP services with legacy telecommunications systems such as the public switched telephone network (PSTN) to create a seamless service using either legacy telephone numbers or IP addresses, and enhance the performance and value of VoIP implementations worldwide.

 

VoIP has been and continues to be a green field for innovation that has spawned numerous inventions, greatly benefiting consumers large and small across the globe. VoIP is used in many places and by every modern telephony system vendor, network supplier, and retail and wholesale carrier.

 

Results of Operations

 

The Company’s operating costs consist of expenses incurred to monetizing, selling and licensing its VoIP patents. Other operating costs include expenses for legal, accounting and other professional fees, financing costs, and other general and administrative expenses.

NET LOSS

 

The Company reported a net loss of $568,869 for the three months ending December 31, 2023 compared to a net loss of $615,583 for the same period in 2022. The decrease in net loss of $46,714, or -8% less than the same period in 2022, was primarily due to a decrease in legal fees.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $93,754,457 as compared to an accumulated deficit of $93,185,588 at September 30, 2023.

The decrease in the Company’s working capital of $305,893 is due to ongoing operating expenses offset by equity raised during the period.

 

Net cash used by operations for the three months ending December 31, 2023 and 2022 was $430,098 and $374,986 respectively. The increase in net cash used for operations for the three months ending December 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ending December 31, 2022 was primarily due to an increase in payment of accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

Net cash provided from financing activities for the three months ending December 31, 2023 and 2022 was $125,000 and $89,000, respectively. The increase in net cash provided by financing activities of $36,000 was due to higher amounts of equity raised and more cash proceeds from private placements during the three months ending December 31, 2023.

 

Liquidity

 

The Company primarily finances its operations from cash received through the private placements of its common stock and the exercise of warrants from investors. While there can be no assurance that capital will be available as necessary to meet continued developments and operating costs or, if the capital is available, that it will be on terms acceptable to the Company, the Company believes its resources are adequate to fund its operations for the next 12 months.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

Performance Bonus Payable

 

In 2016, the board of directors authorized the Company to provide a performance bonus (the “Performance Bonus”) of up to 3% of the capital stock of the Company by way of the issuance of Common shares from its treasury to an as yet undetermined group of related and non-related parties upon the occurrence of a bonusable event, defined as the successful completion of a sale of the Company or substantially all its assets, or a major licensing transaction. In order to provide maximum flexibility to the Company with respect to determining the level of Performance Bonus payable, and who may qualify to receive a pro-rata share of such a Performance Bonus, the Company authorized full discretion to the Board in making such determinations.

 

In 2019, the board of directors authorized the increase of the Performance Bonus to up to 10% of the capital stock of the Company, and also authorized 66.67% of the Performance Bonus to be issued in an advance payment of an aggregate 127,000,000 Common shares (“Bonus Shares”) to members of management, a director and several consultants. 30,000,000 of the issued Bonus Shares continue to be restricted from trading under Rule 144 as well as subject to a voluntary lock-up agreement under which the shares cannot be sold or transferred by the holders until such time as the Company has met the requirements of the bonusable event as described above.

 

As at December 31, 2023, no bonusable event has occurred and there is no Performance Bonus payable.

 

Impact of Inflation

 

We believe that inflation has not had a material impact on our results of operations for the three months ending December 31, 2023. We cannot assure you that future inflation will not have an adverse impact on our operating results and financial condition.

 

Impact of COVID-19 and political upheavals

 

The outbreak of COVID-19 and political upheavals in various countries have caused significant volatility in commodity prices. While these effects are expected to be temporary, the duration of the business disruptions internationally and related financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

At the end of the period covered by this Report for the period ended December 31, 2023, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision of, and with the participation of, the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective to give reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

The Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”), as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Company’s ICFR is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of condensed interim consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). The Company’s ICFR includes policies and procedures that: pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and disposition of assets; provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with US GAAP, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorization of management and directors of the Company; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

 

Because of their inherent limitations, ICFR can provide only reasonable assurance and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Furthermore, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Change in ICFR

 

In connection with the audit of our financials for the year ended September 30, 2023, the Company’s auditors noted material weaknesses and made certain recommendations to management regarding material weaknesses related to 1. lack of segregation of duties, 2. lack of an independent audit committee; 3. insufficient number of independent directors; 4. insufficient period-end balance sheet reconciliations and review of journal entries; 5. no formal codes of conduct (the “2023 Material Weaknesses”).

 

In connection with the 2023 Material Weaknesses, the Company allocated resources to its remediation plan and implemented additional controls during the first quarter of 2024 which included the following:

 

  1) Hired a new CFO who is not a board member to enable us to have adequate segregation of duties within our internal control system.
  2) Established an audit committee comprised solely of independent directors.
  3) Established our board of directors which consists of a majority of independent directors.
  4) Sufficient period-end balance sheet reconciliations and review of journal entries. With the engagement of a third-party accountant to perform the bookkeeping for the Company, the newly hired CFO and a financial advisor can perform period-end balance sheet reconciliations and review of journal entries on a timely basis.

 

As of December 31, 2023, management believes the 2023 Material Weaknesses relating to its lack of segregation of duties, lack of an independent audit committee, insufficient number of independent directors, and insufficient period-end balance sheet reconciliations and review of journal entries have been fully remediated. However, other than as described in the preceding paragraph, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Evaluation of Effectiveness of ICFR

 

The Company’s management (with the participation of the CEO and the CFO) conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023. In making this assessment, management used the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or COSO. The COSO framework summarizes each of the components of a company’s internal control system, including (i) the control environment, (ii) risk assessment, (iii) control activities, (iv) information and communication, and (v) monitoring. In management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(c), our management concluded as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that our internal control over financial reporting has been effective.

 

As defined by Auditing Standard No. 5, “An Audit of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting that is Integrated with an Audit of Financial Statements and Related Independence Rule and Conforming Amendments,” established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”), a material weakness is a deficiency or combination of deficiencies that results more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.

 

In connection with the assessment described above, management identified the following control deficiencies that represent material weaknesses as of December 31, 2023:

 

  - No formal codes of conduct

 

Despite the absence of a formal code of conduct, since the appointment of a new CFO, management regularly communicates ethical and appropriate behavior, and has determined that internal control over financial reporting, under the COSO criteria, as a whole, is effective. In addition, no significant deficiencies relating to the design of internal control over financial reporting were identified by management.

 

Remediation

 

In response to the material weakness described above, the Company will be implementing a remediation plan to address the material weakness which will include measures to enhance its documentation of a formal code of conduct.

 

The Company will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and if the remediation plan is not sufficient to eliminate the material weakness, the Company will consider what additional actions would be required.

Locksmith Financial Corporation, Inc. et al. (Plaintiff(s)) v VoIP-Pal.com Inc. et al (Defendant(s)) (Case No A-20-807745-C) filed in Clark County District Court.

 

On January 1, 2020, the Plaintiffs filed suit in Nevada District Court claiming that they were owed 95,832,000 Voip-Pal common shares from a previous case involving the Plaintiff and the Defendant that had been through a jury trial in 2019, in which the jury had made an award to the Plaintiff that was monetary only, and did not include said shares - following the jury’s decision in the 2019 trial, the Plaintiff accepted the award and waived their right to appeal. Voip-Pal vigorously disputed the Plaintiff’s 2020 claims on the basis of claim preclusion (the 2020 claims were addressed in the previous action in 2019 and are now precluded); that Plaintiffs’ claims are untimely, and that the Plaintiffs no longer have standing to bring their claims.

 

During the year ended September 30, 2022, the Court entered a judgment in favor of VoIP-Pal.com Inc and co-defendants, dismissing the 2020 case. The Plaintiffs filed an appeal with the Nevada Supreme Court.

 

 22 
 

 

During the year ended September 30, 2023, following a hearing of the appeal, the Nevada Supreme Court ruled to reverse the lower court’s decision and remanded the case back to the lower court for further proceedings. The Defendants (Voip-Pal et al) filed a motion to the Supreme Court for reconsideration, however that motion was denied, and a trial date was set for November 28, 2023.

 

During the three months ended December 31, 2023, on November 30, 2023, after the completion of trial, the Eighth Judicial District Court for the State of Nevada rendered its decision in favor of VoIP-Pal upon all claims in the case, ruling that the Plaintiffs had not met their burden of proof with respect to any of its claims against VoIP-Pal et al, awarding no damages to Locksmith and specifically ruling that Locksmith take nothing as a result of the litigation. The case is now closed.
