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), Skkynet, Inc. (USA) and Nic Corporation (“NiC”) (Japan). 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.

On November 1, 2014, the Company acquired NiC as a wholly owned subsidiary. On February 1, 2015, the Company formed a wholly owned US subsidiary Skkynet, Inc., and a wholly owned Canadian subsidiary Skkynet Corp.

On July 30, 2015, the Company designated 500,000 shares of the preferred stock as Series B Convertible preferred. The Series B shares have a par value of $0.001 and issue value of $1.00 per share. The series B is convertible by the holder into common stock at $1.35 per share. The Company may, any time at its option, redeem the Series B shares at their stated value. The Series B preferred shares hold a 6% per annum cumulative dividend. On July 30, 2015, the Company issued 193,661 shares of Series B convertible preferred stock to three related parties in exchange for the outstanding notes payable and accrued interest of $193,661. Dividends are not paid. The Company has accounted for $5,810 in Series B dividends which increases the loss to common shareholders from $409,784 to $415,594 for the six month period ended April 30, 2017.

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, 2016 Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K. 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 audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year end October 31, 2016 as reported on Form 10-K, have been omitted.

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)”), Skkynet Corp. (“Skkynet (Canada)”), and Nic Corporation (“NiC”). 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”. We will also expand the areas of business activity to which our products and services are applied.

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 month periods ending April 30, 2017, revenues were $378,551 and $663,620 compared to $285,442 and $561,366 for the same periods in 2016. Revenue increased for the three and six month periods ending April 30, 2017 over the three and six month periods ended April 30, 2016 by 33% and 18.2%. The increase in revenue for the three and six month periods ended April 30, 2017 is attributed higher sales by the Cogent and NiC divisions on an international basis of the products of the Company

General and administrative expense was $536,665 and $1,050,518 for the three and six month periods ended April 30, 2017 compared to $580,683 and $1,213,271 for the same periods in 2016. The decrease in general and administrative expenses for the three and six month periods ended April 30, 2017, was a result of lower options expense along with lower payroll in 2017 over 2016.

For the three and six month periods ending April 30, 2017, the Company posted operating losses of $175,636 and $414,861 compared to operating losses of $301,697 and $670,896 for the same periods in 2016. The decrease in operating loss during the three and six month periods is attributable to higher sales in both periods of 2017 over 2016 and decreased expenses in consulting, salaries, and office expenses.

Other income for the three and six month periods ending April 30, 2017, was $11,589 and $7,084 compared to other income of $10 and $15 for the same periods in 2016.

Net loss before income taxes of $164,047 and $407,777 was recorded for the three and six month periods ending April 30, 2017, compared to a net loss before income taxes of $301,687 and $670,881 for the same periods in 2016. The lower loss for the three and six month periods in 2017 can be attributed to increased revenue, lower marketing, and general and administrative expenses in 2017 compared to 2016.

Net loss after taxes of $164,222 and $409,784 was recorded for the three and six month periods ending April 30, 2017, compared to a net loss after taxes of $301,687 and $670,881 for the same periods in 2016.

The Company incurred a comprehensive loss of $161,882 and $409,929 for the three and six month periods ended April 30, 2017 compared to a comprehensive loss of $250,501 and $628,653 for the same periods in 2016. The comprehensive loss is an adjustment to net loss with accrued preferred stock dividends and foreign currency translation adjustments along taxes taken into account.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At April 30, 2017, Skkynet had current assets of $741,871 and current liabilities of $368,387, resulting in working capital of $373,484. Accumulated deficit, as of April 30, 2017, was $4,523,038 with total shareholders’ equity of $393,088.

Net cash used in operations for the six months ending April 30, 2017, was $25,611 compared to net cash used of $143,527 for the same period in 2016. Net cash used in operations decreased primarily due to the decrease in option expense of $89,137 in 2017 over 2016 and accounts payable increase of $67,562. Accrued liabilities due to related parties decreased by $16,625, deferred revenue decreased by $11,615, and accounts receivable increased by $102,104.

Net cash provided from financing activities, during the six month period ended April 30, 2017 was $256,300 compared to zero in the same period in 2016. The increase was due to a sale of common stock to one individual.

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.

In connection with the preparation of this report, our management, under the supervision and with participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer (the “Certifying Officers”) conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of April 30, 2017. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that there is a material weakness in our disclosure controls and procedures over financial reporting. The material weakness results from a lack of written procedures which effectively documents the proper procedures and descriptions of the duties of all persons involved in the disclosure controls of the Company. The Company hopes to implement plans to document the procedures and internal controls of the Company. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, in disclosure 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. This does not include an evaluation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

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.
