NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Skkynet Cloud Systems, Inc. (“Skkynet” or “the Company”) is a Nevada corporation formed on August 31, 2011 and headquartered in Toronto, Canada. Skkynet operates its business through its wholly-owned subsidiaries Cogent Real-Time Systems, Inc. (“Cogent”), Skkynet Corp. (Canada) and Skkynet, Inc. (USA). Skkynet was formed primarily for the purpose of taking the existing business lines of Cogent and its current and future customers and integrating these businesses with Cloud based systems. We also intend to expand the areas of business activity to which the kinds of products and services we provide are applied.

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s October 31, 2020 Annual Report on form 10-K filed with the SEC. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the consolidated financial statements for the most recent fiscal year end October 31, 2020 as reported on Form 10-K, have been omitted.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”. The amendments in this ASU revise the accounting related to lessee accounting. Under the new guidance, lessees are required to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases. The new lease guidance also simplifies the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions primarily because lessees must recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and are to be applied through a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has adopted the new accounting pronouncement and recorded a right to use asset and operating lease liability of $68,584 as of November 1, 2019. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed the Company to carry forward the historical lease classification. The adoption of the policy did not have a cumulative impact on retained earnings.

NOTE 3- REVENUE RECOGNITION

As part of the revenue recognition reporting, the Company reports revenue by product line and geographic area. During the six months periods ended April 30, 2021 and 2020, the revenue by product line is as follows:

The Company sells its products on a worldwide basis. During the six months periods ended April 30, 2021 and 2020 the Company’s geographic concentration of revenue is as follows:

NOTE 4- RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Sakura Software, a corporation owned by our CEO and Chairman of the Board of Directors, Andrew S. Thomas, and Benford Consultancy, a corporation owned by our COO and a member of our Board of Directors, Paul Benford, own, respectively, 72.34% and 27.66% of the issued and outstanding shares of Real Innovations International LLC, (“Real Innovations”) a corporation organized under the laws of Nevis, West Indies. In March 2012, Cogent, our operating subsidiary, assigned all of its intellectual property including the pending patent applications for its real-time data transmission and display technology (the “IP”) to Real Innovations under an assignment of intellectual property agreement (the “Assignment Agreement”). In return for the assignment Real Innovations required a one-time payment of $30,000 to Cogent. Cogent elected to forgo the payment allowing Real Innovations to offset future expenses against the payment. There is no ongoing royalty payment or other form of compensation from Real Innovations to Cogent under the Assignment Agreement.

Real Innovations, in turn, entered into a master intellectual property license agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Cogent for all of the same IP. Under the License Agreement Real Innovations granted a royalty-free license in perpetuity to Cogent for the use and exploitation of the IP in return for which Cogent agreed to: (i) pay all operating expenses of Real Innovations incurred in connection with the continued prosecution of pending patent applications and others that may be prepared; (ii) prosecute all claims for infringement of the IP; (iii) defend and indemnify Real Innovations from and against all claims of infringement of the IP asserted by third parties against Real Innovations, Cogent or our Company; (iv) purchase liability insurance in favor of Real Innovations for this purpose. Under the termination provision of the licenses agreement, there is no unilateral right of termination. Termination may occur by mutual consent of the parities, the Company ceasing doing business, by breach by the Company or by the Company failing to maintain the license and the support to prosecute and protect the license under applicable laws.

Under the License Agreement, Messrs. Andrew S. Thomas and Paul Benford will benefit indirectly from their indirect ownership of all of the shares of Real Innovations to the extent of any such payments or other undertakings by Cogent on behalf of Real Innovations, but the exact amount of these benefits cannot be determined at this time. No payments have been made as of April 30, 2021.

NOTE 5 – OPTIONS

The Company, under its 2012 Stock Option Plan, issues options to various officers, directors, and consultants. The options vest in equal annual installments over a five year period with the first 20% vested when the options are granted. All of the options are exercisable at a purchase price based on the last trading price of the Company’s common stock.

On December 12, 2020, the Company issued 41,250 options of which 11,250 options were issued to three independent directors and 30,000 options were issued to three consultants. The options are exercisable into common stock of the Company at $0.64 per share. The Company calculated a fair value of the options of $27,190 using the Black Scholes option pricing model with computed volatility of 201.22%, risk-free interest rate of 2%, expected dividend yield 0%, stock price at measurement date of $0.64 and the expected term of ten years. The options are expensed over a five year period with 20% upon issuance and 20% for the first and each subsequent year.

During the six month period ended April 30, 2021, the Company recognized $97,444 of option expense. The unrecognized future balance to be expensed over the term of the options is $229,866.

The following sets forth the options granted and outstanding as of April 30, 2021:

NOTE 6- LEASES

The Company leases office space located at 2233 Argentia Road Suite 306 Mississauga, Ontario Canada L5N 2X7. During May 2017, the Company signed a new 5 year lease for the Company’s office being effective on August 1, 2017 through July 31, 2022. The lease is for approximately 2,210 square feet of office space with a base monthly rental cost including common area charges of $2,369.

The yearly rental obligations including the lease agreements are as follows:

Under the new standards the lease has been determined to be a right to use operating lease and is recognized based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date which upon adoption of ASC 842 the value was determined to be $68,584 which is presented in the balance sheet as an asset labeled “right to use lease” offset by a liability labeled “lease liability”. The rate was determined as a fair value of the lease over a 30 month period using an 8% interest rate for the present value calculation. During the six months ended April 30, 2021 the asset was amortized by $12,570 and liability was reduced by $12,570.

NOTE 7 – MAJOR CUSTOMERS

The Company sells to their end-user customers both directly and through resellers. Four resellers accounted for 49% of revenue in the three-month period ended April 30, 2020, and three resellers accounted for 49% of revenue in the same period in 2021. Four resellers accounted for 48% of revenue in the six-month period ended April 30, 2020, and four resellers accounted for 48% of revenue in the same period in 2021.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This report contains forward looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Skkynet’s actual results could differ materially from those set forth on the forward-looking statements as a result of the risks set forth in Skkynet’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, general economic conditions, and changes in the assumptions used in making such forward looking statements.

OVERVIEW

Skkynet is a Nevada corporation headquartered in Mississauga, Canada. Skkynet operates three different lines of business through its wholly-owned subsidiaries Cogent Real-Time Systems, Inc. (“Cogent”), Skkynet, Inc. (“Skkynet (USA)”), and Skkynet Corp. (“Skkynet (Canada. Skkynet was established to enhance Cogent’s existing business lines through the integration of Cloud-based systems, and to deliver a Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) product targeting the Industrial Internet of Things (“IoT”) market, now referred to by the terms “Industry 4.0” and “Industrial Internet Consortium”.

The Company provides software and related systems and facilities to collect, process, and distribute real-time information over a network. This capability allows the customers to both locally and remotely manage, supervise, and control industrial processes and financial information systems. By using this software and, when requested by a client, our web based assets, our clients and their customers (to the extent relevant) are given the ability and the tools to observe and interact with these processes and services in real-time as they are underway and to give them the power to analyze, alter, stop, or otherwise influence these activities to conform to their plans.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the three and six months periods ended April 30, 2020, revenue was $419,482 and $838,525 compared to $447,972 and $886,038 for the same periods in 2021. Revenue increased for the six month period ended April 30 , 2021 over the same period in 2020 by 5.67%. The increase in revenue for the six months period ended April 30, 2021 is attributed to higher sales by Cogent. The Company is benefiting from its prior investment in sales and marketing and market recognition, which has contributed to the increase in Cogent’s sales.

General and administrative expense, including depreciation, was $400,906 and $832,659 for the three and six month periods ended April 30, 2020 compared to $415,747 and $864,394 for the same periods in 2021. The increase in general and administrative expenses for the three and six month periods ended April 30, 2021 resulted from increased employment expenditures over the same period in 2020.

For the three and six month periods ended April 30, 2020, the Company reported an operating income of $18,137 and $5,866 compared to operating income of $32,225 and $21,644 for the same periods in 2021. The increase of operating income during the three and six month periods ended April 30, 2021 over the same periods in 2020 is attributable to higher revenue in 2021 compared to 2020.

Other income and expense for the three and six month periods ended April 30, 2020, was other income of $42,516 and $46,306 compared to other loss of $23,310 and $54,441 for the same periods in 2021. The amount of change in both periods was due to the effect of currency exchange.

Net income before and after income taxes of $60,653 and $52,172 was reported for the three and six month periods ended April 30, 2020, compared to net income before and after income taxes of $8,915 and net loss of $32,797 for the same periods in 2021. The higher net loss for the three month period in 2021 can be attributed primarily to the change in currency from a gain of $42,515 to a loss of $31,497 or a negative change of $74,012.

The Company reported comprehensive income of $38,509 and $21,474 for the three and six month periods ended April 30, 2020 compared to a comprehensive income of $26,373 and comprehensive loss of $9,608 for the same periods in 2021. The comprehensive loss is an adjustment to net loss with accrued preferred stock dividends and foreign currency translation adjustments along with taxes taken into account.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At April 30, 2021, Skkynet had current assets of $950,238 and current liabilities of $371,441, resulting in working capital of $578,797 for a current ratio of 2.56 to 1. Accumulated deficit, as of April 30, 2021, was $6,267,007 with total shareholders’ equity of $563,022.

Net cash provided from operating activities for the six months period ended April 30, 2020, was $45,712 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $288,962 for the same period in 2021.

The increase in cash used in operating activities for the six months period ended April 30, 2021 over the same period in 2020 was primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable of $168,374, reduction in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $43,812 plus a large reduction of $222,603 in accrued liabilities to related parties.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.

ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, Skkynet is not required to provide information required under this Item.

ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

This report includes the certifications of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer required by Rule 13a-14 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). See Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2. This Item 4 includes information concerning the controls and control evaluations referred to in those certifications.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of April 30, 2021 using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework- 2013. Based on its evaluation, our management concluded that there are material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. We lack full time personnel in accounting and financial staff to sufficiently monitor and process financial transactions in an efficient and timely manner. Our history of losses has severely limited our budget to hire and train enough accounting and financial personnel needed to adequately provide this function. Consequently, we lacked sufficient technical expertise, reporting standards and written policies and procedures along with a lack of a formal review process which includes multiple layers of review. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during our most recent quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Our management believes that the Unaudited Financial Statements included herein present, in all material respects, the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

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 not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

ITEM 1A: RISK FACTORS
