The Company’s certified public accounting firm hired to review the Report and the financial statements contained herein, RBSM LLP (“RBSM”), is located in New York, New York. RBSM’s offices were closed during Hurricane Sandy and for approximately one week thereafter due to lack of power, heat and telephone service.

QUAMTEL, INC.
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2012
NOTE A – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Description of Business
The Company was incorporated in 1999 under the laws of Nevada as a communications company offering, through its subsidiaries, a comprehensive range of mobile broadband and communications products.
The Company offers secure nationwide mobile broadband wireless data transmission services primarily under the DataJack brand. Through DataJack, the Company offers low cost, no contract, mobile broadband with various data plans. The Company’s DataJack service is offered primarily through two devices - the DataJack MiFi Mobile Hotspot that can connect up to 5 Wi-Fi enabled devices and the DataJack USB, a Plug and Play USB Device.
The Company’s communication products include an international calling service delivered under the brand WQN, through the Company’s subsidiary, WQN, Inc. (“WQN”), and an enhanced toll free service delivered under the brand “800.com.” The Company also sells a prepaid international calling service, “EasyTalk,” that delivers low cost international calls to consumers and businesses from anywhere in the United States or Canada to over 196 countries globally.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2012 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 are unaudited. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q, and therefore, do not include all the information necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated December 31, 2011 financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 13, 2012.
NOTE B – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Significant accounting policies are detailed in Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011 as presented in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 13, 2012.
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
NOTE C – LIQUIDITY
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has reported historical losses from operations. As of September 30, 2012, the Company has reported an accumulated deficit of $21,033,049 and a working capital deficit of $2,821,115 and has been dependent on issuances of debt and equity instruments to fund its operations.
The Company intends to generate future profitability and seek new sources or methods of revenue to pursue its business strategy. If the Company financial resources from operations are insufficient, the Company will require additional financing in order to execute its operating plan and continue as a going concern. The Company cannot predict whether this additional financing will be in the form of equity or debt, or be in another form. The Company may not be able to obtain the necessary additional capital on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all. In any of these events, the Company may be unable to implement its current plans for expansion, repay its debt obligations as they become due, or respond to competitive pressures, any of which circumstances would have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Convertible notes payable – St George Investments
On March 30, 2012, the Company entered into a convertible promissory note with St George Investments (the “St George Note”) for a principal balance of $465,000. The note was originally a short-term note payable to Warren Gilbert, one of the primary shareholders of the Company. On March 30, 2012, Warren Gilbert sold the note to St. George Investments for an amount which was not disclosed to the Company. The St George Investments note conversion notice contains a Beneficial Conversion Feature (BCF).
A beneficial conversion feature (BCF) arises when the conversion price of a convertible instrument is less than the fair value of the instrument or instruments into which the convertible instrument is convertible. Accounting guidance applicable to a BFC is found in two issues of the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF). The first issue, EITF No. 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios, became effective in May 1999. In November 2000, the EITF issued EITF No. 00-27, Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments. The primary purpose of EITF 00-27 is to provide application guidance for EITF 98-5 in the face of issues encountered in practice relating to valuation, timing and classification.
In accordance with the accounting guidance found in EITF 98-5 and 00-27, the Company recorded a BCF of $298,077 in the financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2012. The Company recorded this amount as a credit to additional paid in capital with offsetting amounts of $187,500 to other expense and $110,577 to debt discount, a contra liability account, which has been written off during the period ended September 30, 2012. The interest expense above is BFC interest due at the conversion of the note payable on April 1, 2012 and the debt discount amount represents the BFC interest allocation until the maturity of the note on September 1, 2012 prior to the variable conversion features become effective on September 2, 2012. The Company also charged $135,127 of the unamortized debt discount at the maturity date, September 30, 2012 and charged to other expense in relation to the St George note for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
The St George Note bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum, compound daily. All interest and principal must be repaid on September 30, 2012. The St George Note is convertible into common stock, at St George Investments’ option, at a fixed conversion price of $0.375 per share from March 30, 2012 until September 1, 2012, and commencing September 2, 2012 the conversion price will be at a 65% of the average of the three lowest closing bid prices of the common stock during the 10 trading day period prior to conversion. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, (i) the outstanding balance shall increase to 112.5% of the outstanding balance immediately prior to the occurrence of such event of default; provided, however, that such increase may not be applied more than twice, and (ii) this St George Note shall accrue interest until the outstanding balance is repaid in full at the rate of 1% per month (or 12% per annum), compounding daily, whether before or after judgment.
The St George Investments shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to return all or any part of the conversion shares or cancelled shares to the Company by providing one or more written notices thereof to the Company but not exceed 953,846 shares. The St George Investments converted total of $400,987 of accrued interest, penalty and principal amount during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and returned $58,486 or 953,846 shares of conversion made in September 2012.
The Company has identified the embedded derivatives related to the above described Convertible Note Payable. These embedded derivatives included certain conversion features and reset provision. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record fair value of the derivatives as of the inception date of the above described Convertible Note Payable and to fair value as of each subsequent reporting date (see Note H).

Recent Developments
Effective March 13, 2012, we sold substantially all of its RocketVoip assets which had no carrying value prior to the sale for $100,000. As a result of this sale, we are no longer in the retail, subscriber based voice over IP (VoIP) business. We recorded a $100,000 gain on sale of assets from the sale of RockVoip.
Effective June 21, 2012, the Company sold the 800.com domain and all of its assets to Steven Ivester, the Company’s former sole shareholder, who is currently the Assistant Secretary of and also a consultant to the Company through a Consulting Services Agreement with iTella, Inc., for $850,000.

Results of Operations for the Three Months ended September 30, 2012 Compared to the Same Period in 2011
Revenues
Our revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were $629,481 and $502,576, respectively. Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2012 increased over the same period in 2011 by 25% due to a $234,191 increase in DataJack revenues, offset by a $107,286 decrease in calling card PIN revenue in the current quarter over the same quarter last year. We have been directing more marketing resources into growing the DataJack business. The calling card PIN revenue decreased due to increased competition and the Company’s focus on growing the DataJack business. We plan to increase marketing resources to WQN to stabilize our calling card PIN revenues.
Cost of Sales and Gross Profit
Cost of sales totaled $481,995 and $361,896 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. This resulted in gross profit of $147,486 (23%) and $140,680 (28%) for the respective 2012 and 2011 periods. The lower gross margin in 2012 compared to 2011 was caused by increased competition and overall shrinking industry margins.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses were $716,865 and $2,757,449 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Compensation and consulting expenses decreased to $512,821 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $2,592,870 for the same period in 2011. Compensation and consulting expenses are primarily a result of the issuance of common shares for consulting services. In 2012, the Company reduced the number of consultants under contract, which in turn reduced compensation expense.
General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses were $173,314 and $130,917 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Other income and expenses increased to a net expense of $330,770 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $38,666 for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The $292,104 increase is directly attributable to expenses associated with additional convertible debt taken on by the Company during the three months ending September 30, 2012. Interest expenses decreased $11,750 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $38,666 for the three months ended September 30, 2011. In the three months ended September, 30, 2012, the Company amortized $311,190 of debt discount and recorded a $174,014 penalty related to the conversion of debt. These expenses were offset by Vendor and Note Payable write-offs of $52,821 to Other Income and a $113,363 gain in the change of a derivative liability.
Net Loss
A decrease in compensation and consulting expenses, off-set by increased financing expenses resulted in a net loss of $900,149 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to a net loss of $2,655,435 for the same period in 2011.
Results of Operations for the Nine Months ended September 30, 2012 Compared to the Same Period in 2011
Revenues
Our revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were $1,889,802 and $1,457,020, respectively. DataJack revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were $987,171 and $251,913, respectively. The Company is focused on growing the DataJack business while making efforts to stabilize the calling card PIN business.
Cost of Sales and Gross Profit
Cost of sales was $1,495,275 and $993,242 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. This resulted in gross profit of $394,527 (21%) and $463,778 (32%) for the respective 2012 and 2011 periods. The higher gross margin percentage in 2011 was due in part to a large vendor credit received in the three months ended March 31, 2011. After adjusting for the vendor credits, gross margins were 27% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses were $4,424,703and $5,252,235 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Compensation and consulting expenses were $3,345,051 and $4,588,242 during these periods. Compensation and consulting expenses are primarily a result of the issuance of common shares for consulting services. G&A expenses increased from $563,994 in the 2011 period to $971,282 in 2012. The increase in G&A expenses in the current quarter were due to increased legal expenses and higher sales and marketing expenses related to Data Jack.

Other Income and Expense
Other income and expenses increased to a net expense of $524,773 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to income of $119,818 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The $644,591 increase is directly attributable to expenses associated with additional convertible debt taken on by the Company during the nine months ending September 30, 2012. Interest expenses decreased to $62,965for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $152,978 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. In the nine months ended September, 30, 2012, the Company amortized $553,978 of debt discount and recorded a $174,014 penalty related to the conversion of debt. These expenses were offset by Vendor and Note Payable write-offs of $52,821 to Other Income and Expenses for the period ending September 30, 2012 compared to $25,000 for the nine months ending September 30, 2011. The Company recorded a $113,363 gain in the change of a derivative liability for the nine months ending September 30, 2012. The Company also recorded a $100,000 gain on disposition of assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to a $247,796 gain on disposition of assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
Net Loss
Net loss of $4,554,949 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to a net loss of $4,468,639 for the same period in 2011.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents were $0 at September 30, 2012. Our net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $1,569,550, due primarily to our cash-based net loss during this period.
Our primary sources of funding for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 have been (I) gross proceeds of $656,608 from the sale of our common stock to accredited investors, (ii) gross proceeds in the amount of $100,000 from the sale of our RocketVoip assets in March 2012, and (iii) short-term non-interest bearing loans of $703,740 from eight of our accredited investors.
Additionally, on September 28, 2012, we entered into a $700,000 secured note payable arrangement (the “Secured Note”) with the Family Trust Under The Gerald Sperling Grantor Retained Annuity Trust and Warren Gilbert (the “Lenders”). We received $25,000 in September 2012 under the Secured Note and an additional $417,000 subsequent to September 30, 2012. The Secured Note carries a 12% per year interest rate. The remaining terms of the Secured Note are still under negotiation with the Lenders.
At September 30, 2012, restricted cash consisted of a $150,000 security deposit in the form of an irrevocable letter of credit held in escrow related to our performance under a service contract with one of our telecommunication service providers.
Our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate our continuation as a going concern. We have incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from operations during the past two years, have incurred an accumulated deficit of $21,033,049 through September 30, 2012, and have been dependent on issuances of debt and equity instruments to fund our operations. We intend to generate future profitability and seek new sources or methods of financing or revenue to pursue our business strategy. However, there can be no certainty that we will be successful in this strategy. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, our independent auditors added an explanatory paragraph to their opinion on our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011, based on substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. We expect to raise any necessary additional funds through loans and additional sales of our common stock or debt instruments. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising additional capital in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.
20
Capital Expenditure Commitments
We did not have any substantial outstanding commitments to purchase capital equipment at September 30, 2012.
Capital Needs
We do not currently have sufficient capital resources to meet projected cash flow requirements. We will need to continue to raise capital through the issuance of new shares or by issuing new debt securities. However, any failure in generating sufficient liquidity from operations or in raising sufficient capital resources, on terms acceptable to us, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, liquidity and financial condition.
Our future cash requirements include those associated with maintaining our status as a reporting entity. We believe that on an annual basis those costs would not exceed an average of $25,000 per month.
We presently do not have any available credit, bank financing or other external sources of liquidity. Due to our brief operating history and lack of substantial historical operating profits, our operations have not been a source of liquidity. We will need to obtain additional capital in order to fund our operations and become profitable. In order to obtain capital, we may need to sell additional shares of our common stock or borrow funds from private lenders. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining additional funding in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.
Critical Accounting Policies
The application of our accounting policies, which are important to our financial position and results of operations, requires significant judgments and estimates on the part of management. These estimates bear the risk of change due to the inherent uncertainty attached to each estimate and are likely to differ to some extent from actual results. A description of our critical accounting policies follows:
1. In accordance with FASB ASC 350 (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,") the Company tests its intangible asset (goodwill) for impairment at least annually by comparing the fair value of this asset to its carrying value. If in the future the carrying value of our goodwill exceeds its fair value, the Company will recognize an impairment charge in an amount equal to that excess. For purposes of the tests, the excess of the fair value of the Company over the amounts assigned to its identified assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of its goodwill.
2. Our revenues are primarily derived from fees charged to terminate voice services over the Company's network and from related monthly recurring charges. Variable revenue is earned based on the number of minutes during a call and is recognized upon completion of a call. Revenue from each customer is calculated from information received through the Company's network switches. The Company tracks the information received from the switch and analyzes the call detail records and applies the respective revenue rate for each call. Fixed revenue is earned from monthly recurring services provided to customers that are fixed and recurring in nature, and are connected for a specified period of time. Revenues are recognized as the services are provided and continue until the expiration of the contract or until cancellation of the service by the customer. Cash fees received prior to call completion are recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as unearned revenue.

ITEM 3. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not applicable.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, as of September 30, 2012, our management conducted an evaluation with the participation of our President who also serves as our principal financial and accounting officer (the “Certifying Officer”) regarding the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act).
A control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity's financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis.
Based on this evaluation, our Certifying Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of September 30, 2012. Our President, who is our sole executive officer, is not a financial or accounting professional, and we do not have a chief financial officer or sufficient accounting staff. Until we are able to engage a qualified financial officer, and/or accounting staff, we may continue to experience material weaknesses in our disclosure controls that may adversely affect our ability to timely file our quarterly and annual reports.
Our management, including the Certifying Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all improper conduct. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, a design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of improper conduct, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments and decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more persons, or by management override of the control. Further, the design of any system of controls is also based in part upon assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations and a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.
The Company has an insufficient quantity of dedicated resources and experienced personnel involved in reviewing and designing internal controls. As a result, a material misstatement of the interim and annual consolidated financial statements could occur and not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We have not achieved the optimal level of segregation of duties relative to key financial reporting functions and we do not have an audit committee or an independent audit committee financial expert. While not being legally obligated to has an audit committee or independent audit committee financial expert, it is management’s view that an audit committee, comprised of independent board members, and an independent financial expert is an important entity-level control over the Company's financial statements.We have not achieved an optimal segregation of duties for executive officers of the Company.
(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2012, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. However, as of June 11, 2012, Leo Hinckley joined our Board of Directors as an independent director. We expect that the appointment of Mr. Hinkley will enhance our controls and procedures capabilities.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently aware of and a party to the following legal proceedings or claims that we believe will not have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results:
We are a defendant in an action styled Robert Picow vs. Quamtel, Inc. and Steven Ivester, in the Circuit Court of the 15th Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County, Florida. Picow asserts he is entitled to damages as a consequence of an alleged breach of a consulting agreement and for an alleged interference with his ability to trade his Quamtel shares.We believe the claims to be without merit and will aggressively defend same.We filed a response and counterclaim on or about August 3, 2012 denying the charges against us and counterclaiming defamation against us and breach of Mr. Picow's fiduciary duties to us. Additionally, we have demanded a jury trial on the substance of the matters. This case is not in the deposition phase.
We are a defendant in an action styled The Balancing Act TV, LLC vs. Quamtel, Inc., filed on July 24, 2012 in the Circuit Court of the 17th Judicial Circuit in and for Broward County, Florida. The Balancing Act TV, LLC asserts that it is entitled to damages in the amount of approximately $50,000 as a consequence of an alleged breach by us of a contract with us. We believe the claims to be without merit and have moved to dismiss this matter. We will aggressively defend the Company against these claims.

On June 22, 2012, we issued a $25,000, zero percent, senior promissory note to Gene and Lois Vanderbur (the “Vandeburs”) for a $25,000 loan from them. The principal amount of the note is due and payable on or before December 22, 2012. We were required to pay a $5,000 participation fee to execute the note and we issued to the Vandeburs 62,500 shares of our common stock as additional cost of the loan. The terms of the note were to allow us to add additional $25,000 tranches of debt up to a maximum of $100,000. On September 7, 2012, we borrowed an additional $15,000 from the Vanderburs and issued to them an additional note in the principal amount of $15,000. The principal amount of this note is due and payable on or before October 20, 2012. We have committed to pay a $5,000 participation fee with respect to this second note and we issued to the Vandeburs 20,000 additional shares of our common stock as additional cost of this note. At September 30, 2012, we owed a combined total of $40,000 for the two Vanderbur notes.
On August 22, 2012, we issued a convertible promissory note to JMJ Financial (the “JMJ Note”) in the principal amount of $220,000. The principal sum of the note consisted of $200,000 of consideration paid to us, plus a $20,000 original issue discount (OID) or 10% OID. The note has a provision which allows us to draw down the available principal over time. At September 30, 2012 we had drawn down $55,000.
The JMJ Note is interest free if repaid in full on or before 90 days from the Effective Date (date of delivery of the first payment to us) and a one-time interest charge of 10% shall be applied to the principal sum if we do not repay the JMJ Note on or before 90 days from the Effective Date. The maturity date of each payment received by us is one year from the Effective Date of that particular payment and is the date upon which the principal sum of the JMJ Note, as well as any unpaid interest and other fees, shall be due and payable. The JMJ Note is convertible into shares of our common stock, at JMJ Financial’s option at any time after the Effective Date, at the conversion price of lesser of $0.07 per share or 70% of the lowest trade price in the 25 trading days prior to the conversion. In the event of any default, the outstanding principal amount of the JMJ Note, plus accrued but unpaid interest, liquidated damages, fees and other amounts owing in respect thereof through the date of acceleration, shall become, at JMJ Financial’s election, immediately due and payable in cash at the Mandatory Default Amount as defined in the JMJ Note.
