This quarterly report presents a concerning financial picture for iQSTEL Inc. Despite a substantial 70% increase in revenue, the company's net losses widened, and gross profit growth significantly lagged. Critically, management reiterated substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern, citing recurring losses and negative working capital. The disclosure of material weaknesses in internal controls further highlights operational and compliance challenges. While the subsequent $50 million equity purchase agreement provides much-needed capital, its highly dilutive nature (representing over 700% of the current market cap) underscores the company's precarious financial position and the significant cost to existing shareholders.
