Overview


VOIP-PAL.com Inc. ("Voip-Pal", the "Company") was incorporated in the state of Nevada in September 1997 as All American Casting International, Inc. and changed its name to VOIP MDI.com in 2004 and subsequently to Voip-Pal.Com Inc. in 2006. Since March 2004, the Company has been in the development stage of becoming a VoIP re-seller, a provider of a proprietary transactional billing platform tailored to the points and air mile business, and a provider of anti-virus applications for smartphones. All business activities prior to March 2004 have been abandoned and written off to deficit.

In 2013, Voip-Pal acquired Digifonica International (DIL) Limited ("Digifonica"), to fund and co-develop Digifonica's patent suite. Digifonica had been founded in 2003 with the vision that the internet would be the future of all forms of telecommunications - a team of twenty top engineers with expertise in Linux and Internet telephony developed and wrote a software suite with applications that provided solutions for several core areas of internet connectivity. In order to properly test the applications, Digifonica built and operated three production nodes in Vancouver, Canada (Peer 1), London, UK (Teliasonera), and Denmark. Upon successfully developing the technology, Digifonica filed for patents with the United States Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO").

The Digifonica patents formed the basis for Voip-Pal's current intellectual property, now a worldwide portfolio of twenty-six issued and pending patents primarily designed for the broadband VoIP market.

Voip-Pal's intellectual property value is derived from its issued and pending patents. Voip-Pal inventions described in these patents, among other things, provide the means to integrate VoIP services with legacy telecommunications systems such as the public switched telephone network (PSTN) to create a seamless service using either legacy telephone numbers or IP addresses, and enhance the performance and value of VoIP implementations worldwide.

VoIP has been and continues to be a green field for innovation that has spawned numerous inventions, greatly benefitting consumers large and small across the globe. VoIP is used in many places and by every modern telephony system vendor, network supplier, and retail and wholesale carrier.

Liquidity and capital resources

The decrease in the Company's working capital of $2,445,607 was primarily due to a decrease in cash on hand and other current assets resulting from a decrease in shares issued for private placement and warrant exercises completed during the year ending September 30, 2019 as compared to the prior year.

Net cash used by operations for the years ending September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $2,674,356 and $2,243,694, respectively. The increase in net cash used for operations for the year ending September 30, 2019 as compared to the year ending September 30, 2018 was primarily due to an increase in cash expenditures for professional fees and services for the year and a decrease in cash received from stock issuances.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In February 2016, the board of directors authorized the Company to provide a performance bonus (the "Performance Bonus") of up to 3% of the capital stock of the Company by way of the issuance of Common shares from its treasury to an as yet undetermined group of related and non-related parties upon the occurrence of a bonusable event, defined as the successful completion of a sale of the Company or substantially all its assets, or a major licensing transaction. In order to provide maximum flexibility to the Company with respect to determining what constitutes such a bonus able event, the level of Performance Bonus payable, and who may qualify to receive a pro-rata share of such a Performance Bonus, the Company authorized full discretion to the Board in making such determinations.





                                       14


During the year ended September 30, 2018, the board of directors authorized the increase of the Performance Bonus to up to 10% of the capital stock of the Company.

During the year ended September 30, 2019, the board of directors resolved to reduce the Performance Bonus from 10% to 3.33% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company. Concurrently, the board of directors authorized the payment of Common shares ("Bonus Shares") in an equivalent percentage to the 6.67% reduction to the Performance Bonus to a group of related and non-related parties, which included members of management, a director and several consultants, who received an aggregate 127,000,000 Bonus Shares. The Bonus Shares are restricted from trading under Rule 144 and are also subject to voluntary lock-up agreements, pursuant to which they cannot be traded, pledged, hypothecated, transferred or sold by the holders until such time as the Company has met the requirements of the bonusable event as described above.

As at September 30, 2019, no bonusable event had occurred and there was no Performance Bonus payable.

There are no other 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 investors.
