| 1. General Information |
Qxtel Limited (the “Company”) is a private company, domiciled and incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office address is No. 1 Poultry, London, EC2R 8EJ.
The principal activity of the Company is the provision of international telecommunications traffic, offering both wholesale voice and retail services. In 2022, the Company also began to offer retail and wholesale A2P SMS services.
| 2. Accounting Policies |
| Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements |
| The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which, in the opinion of management, have been consistently applied. |
| 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. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. |
| The following principal accounting policies have been applied: |
| Foreign Currency Translation and re-measurement |
| The Company's functional and presentational currency is USD. |
| Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. |
| At each period end foreign currency items are translated using the closing rate. Non monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and non monetary items measured at fair value are measured using the exchange rate when fair value was determined. No material foreign currency translation amounts are included in the accompanying financial statements. |
| Revenue |
The Company recognizes revenue related to monthly usage charges and other recurring charges during the period in which the telecommunication services are rendered in accordance with FASB ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers, provided that persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement existed and collection was reasonably assured. Persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists upon execution of a written interconnection agreement. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes or duty. The Company’s payment terms vary by clients. |

| 2. Accounting Policies (cont.) | |
| Cost of Sales | |
| Cost of sales represent direct charges from vendors that the Company incurs to deliver services to its customers. These costs primarily consist of usage charges for calls terminated in the Company’s vendor networks. | |
| Cash and Cash Equivalents | |
| Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks, money market funds, and certificates of term deposits with maturities of less than three months from inception, which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash. The Company maintains certain of its cash and cash equivalents in non-interest bearing accounts that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Company up to $250,000. The Company’s deposits may, from time to time, exceed the $250,000 limit; however, management believes that there is no unusual risk present, as the Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions which management considers being of high quality. | |
| Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts | |
| Substantially all of the Company’s accounts receivable balance is related to trade receivables. Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. The Company reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts daily and past due balances over 60 days and a specified amount are reviewed individually for collectability. Account balances are charged off after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. | |
| Intangible Assets | |
| Intangible assets are initially recognized at cost. After recognition intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. | |
| The assets relate to software which is still in development as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. No amortization expense was recorded for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. | |
| Property and Equipment | |
| Property and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes all expenditures that are directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. | |
| Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives. No material amounts of depreciation expense were recorded for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2023 or 2022. | |
| The recovery periods of the asset classes are as follows: | |
| Fixtures and fittings | 4 years | |
| Computer equipment | 4 years |
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognized in the statements of income.

| 2. Accounting Policies (cont.) |
| Impairment of Long-Lived Assets |
In accordance with FASB ASC 360-10-45, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset plus net proceeds expected from disposition of the asset (if any) are less than the carrying value of the asset. When impairment is identified, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its fair value. No impairments were recorded in the accompanying financial statements. |
| Defined Contribution Pension Plan |
| The Company operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity in accordance with the terms of the People’s Pension Scheme of the United Kingdom. Once the contributions have been paid the Company has no further payment obligations. Contributions totaled $3,120 and $2,973 during the nine-months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, $1,022 and $945 during the three-months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively |
| Income Taxes |
| The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires, among other things, the recognition of deferred income tax assets and liabilities based on the temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities using the current applicable income tax rates. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount that will more-likely-than-not be realized. |
The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes pursuant to FASB ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes, which prescribes a minimum recognition threshold and measurement methodology that a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. See Note 4 for additional details. Management has reviewed the tax positions that have been taken and has concluded that no liability or disclosure is necessary. |

| 4. Income Taxes |
| The Company provides for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse. There were no material differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.. |
| The income tax provision attributable to the net income before income taxes for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 differed from the amounts computed by applying the standard 19% corporate tax rate in the UK primarily due to differences in the method of calculating depreciation and certain expenses that are reflected in the accompanying financial statements that are not deductible for tax purposes. Such differences are not material to the financial statements taken as a whole. |
| Finance Act 2021 includes legislation to increase the UK corporate tax from 19% to 25%, effective April 1, 2023. |
