Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
NOTE 2 -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 2 -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not contain all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for annual financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements contain all the adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) to present the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2025 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future period. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on March 31, 2025. Consolidation Policy The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and its owned subsidiaries, Etelix.com USA, LLC (“Etelix”), SwissLink Carrier AG (“Swisslink”), ITSBCHAIN, LLC (“ItsBchain”), QGLOBAL SMS, LLC (“QGlobal”), IoT Labs, LLC (“IoT Labs”), Global Money One Inc (“Global Money One”), Whisl Telecom LLC (“Whisl”), Smartbiz Telecom LLC (“Smartbiz”), QXTEL LIMITED (“QXTEL”) and Globetopper LLC (“Globetopper”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Business Combinations In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 805-10, “Business Combinations”, the Company accounts for all business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. Under this method, assets and liabilities, including any remaining non-controlling interests, are recognized at fair value at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed and non-controlling interests is recognized as goodwill. Certain adjustments to the assessed fair values of the assets, liabilities, or non-controlling interests made subsequent to the acquisition date, but within the measurement period, which is up to one year, are recorded as adjustments to goodwill. Any adjustments subsequent to the measurement period are recorded in income. Any cost or equity method interest that the Company holds in the acquired company prior to the acquisition is re-measured to fair value at acquisition with a resulting gain or loss recognized in income for the difference between fair value and the existing book value. Results of operations of the acquired entity are included in the Company’s results from the date of the acquisition onward and include amortization expense arising from acquired tangible and intangible assets. Reverse stock split The Company announced a reverse stock split effective on May 2, 2025 (the “Market Effective Date”). The Board of Directors of the Company approved a reverse stock split of the Company’s authorized, issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a ratio of 1-for-80. All issued and outstanding common stock, options and warrants to purchase common stock and per share amounts contained in this Report have been adjusted retroactively to reflect the change in capital structure for all periods presented. All share and per share information in these financial statements retroactively reflect this reverse stock split. Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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. The estimates and judgments will also affect the reported amounts for certain revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these good faith estimates and judgments. 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 and which, in the opinion of management, are subject to an insignificant risk of loss in value. The Company had no cash equivalents at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. 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 estimates expected credit losses related to accounts receivable balances based on a review of available and relevant information including current economic conditions, projected economic conditions, historical loss experience, account aging, and other factors that could affect collectability. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded bad debt expense of $4,536 and $1,801, respectively. Net Income (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification ASC 260, ”Earnings per Share” which requires presentation of basic earnings per share on the face of the statements of operations for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic earnings per share computation. In the accompanying financial statements, basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive outstanding shares of common stock during the period to reflect the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through contingent share arrangements, stock options and warrants unless the result would be antidilutive. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding Series B Preferred stock and convertible notes, and these were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as the result was anti-dilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. The following represents a reconciliation of the numerators of the basic and diluted earnings per share computation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024: Net loss attributed to common stockholders of IQSTEL Inc.

Concentrations of Credit Risk The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of its cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and related party payables. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions of high creditworthiness. At times, its cash and cash equivalents with a particular financial institution may exceed any applicable government insurance limits. Based on the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) applicable in the United Sates, Switzerland’s deposit protection system (Esisuisse) and the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) applicable in the U.K., 47.21% of our cash and cash equivalent are protected by the applicable government insurance limits. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we had 31 customers representing 87.4% of our revenue compared to 22 customers representing 87.7% of our revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. This is a significant improvement in the revenue concentration. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, 37.6% and 38.3% of revenue, respectively, comes from customers under prepayment conditions, which means there are no credit or bad debt risks on that portion of the customers’ portfolio. Approximately 80% of total accounts receivable are concentrated in balances from the Company’s top 25 customers as of September 30, 2025 compared to the same percentage concentrated in 11 companies as of December 31, 2024. The largest customer as of September 30, 2025 represented 8.75% of the total compared to 40.39% as of December 31, 2024. This concentration may expose the Company to a medium-to-low level of credit risk, as most of these customers are bilateral, meaning they also have accounts payable with the Company. Financial Instruments The Company follows ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” which defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (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. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below: Level 1 Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. Level 3 Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The carrying values of our financial instruments, including, cash; accounts receivable; prepaid and other current assets; accounts payable; accrued liabilities and other current liabilities; and due from/to related parties approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturities of these financial instruments. Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free-market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm’s-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated. It is not, however, practical to determine the fair value of amounts due to related parties due to their related party nature. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue related to monthly usage charges and other recurring charges during the period in which the telecommunication services are rendered, provided that persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists, and collection is reasonably assured. Management considers persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement to be a written interconnection agreement. The Company’s payment terms vary by client. Usage charges refer to the fees that customers are billed based on their actual usage of the services. For voice services, this typically means charges are based on the duration of calls made. For SMS (text messaging), it usually means charges per message sent. Other recurring charges are referred to charges for services such as (1) Global DIDs, (2) Global Toll-Free Numbers, (3) PBX (Private Branch Exchange) for small businesses, and (4) SIP Trunking. The provision of these services usually has set-up fees and are offered on a subscription or month-to-month basis. Revenue is reported on a gross basis since the Company acts as the principal in the transaction, meaning it has control over the goods or services before they are transferred to the customer. This includes having the primary responsibility for fulfilling the contract and determining the price. With respect to the specific performance obligations of the Company in its contracts with its customers, our standard service agreement establishes the following:
| • | The Company agrees to furnish to Customer, and Customer agrees to purchase from the Company, International Long Distance telecommunication services and/or SMS services at the rates agreed to in writing by the Parties. |
| • | The Company will provide, operate and maintain communications equipment, international links and network administration and support in the United States and other countries as may be agreed upon. |
| • | The Company will be responsible for its own expenses and will provide, operate, and maintain transmission facilities required to link its domestic network with the other Party's nearest point of presence (POP). |
| • | The Company shall provide Customer all required IP network addresses, Domain Name Server (DNS) information and, if necessary, the associated prefixes used to exchange voice traffic as provided on the provisioning form. |
| • | The Company shall take all appropriate security measures to protect its network from fraudulent traffic coming from unknown or unauthorized sources. Any and all IP and network information received by the Company from Customer for the purposes of this agreement shall be strictly confidential, and disclosed only to those employees or personnel with a need to know. |
The Company recognizes revenue from telecommunication services in accordance with ASC 606. Topic 606 establishes a comprehensive 5 step framework for determining revenue recognition. Under this framework, the Company considers each service a single performance obligation, since typically, the Company provides a series of distinct services. Under ASC 606, voice and SMS termination services typically qualify for over time recognition because the customer receives and consumes the benefits as the entity performs
| • | Each call or message is terminated in real time.
| • | The customer cannot "stockpile" the service — it's consumed instantly.
| • | The service is indivisible and recurring, with no alternative use.
In the case of the services provided by Globetopper, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." Under this standard, revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled. The Company’s primary performance obligation is the transfer of digital prepaid products to customers upon purchase. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when the digital prepaid products are made available to the customer, as this is when the customer obtains control and can benefit from the use of the products. The Company has evaluated additional services, including API integration and technical support, and determined that these services are not distinct performance obligations. These services are highly interdependent and integrated with the primary obligation to deliver digital prepaid products. As such, revenue recognition for these services is bundled with the primary performance obligation and recognized at the same point in time. The transaction price is determined based on the pricing appendix provided to customers at the time of contract signing, with the Company reserving the right to adjust prices with a three-day notice. Since the Company has only one primary performance obligation, there is no allocation of the transaction price across multiple obligations. The application of the 5 step Topic 606 revenue recognition framework to the Company's operations is depicted as follows:
Topic 606 Conceptual Framework | Related Company Policy & Procedures
Step 1 Identify the contract(s) with customer | A contract is defined as an approved mutual agreement between the Company and a customer setting performance obligation, and criteria that must be met in accordance with the Company's customary commercial business practices and entered into with the probable expectation that all estimated consideration will be realized in the ordinary course of business.
Step 2 Identify the performance obligations | Performance obligations are identified in the customer agreement, and any subsequent amendments stated in per minute, time and message usage criteria; and digital prepaid products. The Company considers each service a single performance obligation, including instances where the Company provides a series of services that are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer.
Step 3 Determine the transaction price | The transaction price is determined at contract inception and is subsequently reviewed periodically to reflect applicable rate amendments, trends in regulatory, market conditions and usage of service and products by a customer. The transaction price excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties such as sales taxes and regulatory fees.
Step 4 Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations | The transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on the standalone contractual selling price of the time measured service, net of any related discount.
Step 5 Recognize revenue when the entity satisfies a performance obligation | The Company recognizes revenues from contracts with customers when control of the usage of the services and digital prepaid products has been transferred to the customer, as recorded and measured by the Company's internal information systems. Revenues are recognized at the probable amount of consideration expected in exchange for transferring control of usage.
Cost of revenue Costs of revenue 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 vendors’ networks. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2024-03 Final Standard on Income Statement: Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public business entities. The ASU does not change the expense captions an entity presents on the face of the income statement; rather, it requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements. This guidance will be effective for us on January 1, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2024-03. The Company has reviewed all other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial statements.
