FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Current Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”). In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the following words: “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “ongoing,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “would” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. Forward-looking statements are not a guarantee of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by, which such performance or results will be achieved. We have based the forward-looking statements contained in this Current Report primarily on our current expectations about future events and trends that we believe may affect our current and proposed business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. The outcome of the events described in these forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors, including those described under the caption “Risk Factors” of Item 1A of our 10-K Transition Report for period from September 30, 2018, to the year ended December 31, 2018, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”) on or about June 29, 2018, and which is incorporated herein by reference and can be accessed by Hyperlink in Item 9.01 below (the “ 10-K Transition Report ”). Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all risks and uncertainties that could have an impact on the forward-looking statements used herein. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that the forward-looking statements in this Current Report will prove to be accurate, and therefore prospective investors are encouraged not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. You should read this Current Report completely, and it should be read and considered with other reports or registration statements filed by us with the SEC. Other than as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements, even though our situation may change in the future.

EXPLANATORY NOTES

Except as otherwise indicated by context, references to the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “us” and words of similar import refer to “ KonaTel, Inc. ,” a Delaware corporation, formerly named Dala Petroleum Corp., which is the Registrant, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, KonaTel, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“ KonaTel Nevada ”), and Apeiron Systems, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“ Apeiron ”).

CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS

We have a limited public float of our outstanding common stock, and there has been no established trading market in our common stock during the past five years. See the caption “ Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities ” of Part II, Item 5, of our 10-K Transition Report. These factors may result in uncertainty and volatility in the trading price of our common stock that may not have any relation to our current or future prospects. On or about September 29, 2017, our Application for continued quotations of our common stock on the OTC Markets Group OTCQB Tier (respectively, the “ OTC Markets ” and the “ OTCQB Tier ”) was not approved because of our limited public float and the high concentration of the ownership of our common stock in one entity (M2 Equity Partners, LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company [“ M2 ”], which then owned 12,100,000 shares of our 13,692,286 outstanding shares or approximately 88% of our outstanding securities). These shares were distributed to M2’s 14 members, who were “accredited investors,” pro rata, in accordance with their respective membership interests, on April 9, 2018, which decreased the concentration of ownership of our outstanding shares in one entity. On December 18, 2017, we completed our “ KonaTel Nevada Merger ”; and on December 31, 2018, we completed our “ Apeiron Merger ” (see each of the applicable 8-K Current Reports in Item 9.01 below, which are incorporated herein by reference and which can be accessed by Hyperlink to the SEC Edgar Archives). As a result of these mergers and like respectively executed and delivered Shareholder Voting Agreements that were a condition to the closing of each of these mergers (see the applicable 8-K Current Reports in Item 9.01 for access to these Shareholder Voting Agreements), D. Sean McEwen, our Chairman, CEO, President and a director, beneficially owns 33,599,000 shares of our outstanding securities, consisting of: (i) 13,500,000 shares of direct ownership and 749,000 shares of direct ownership underlying personally owned vested stock options; (ii) 12,100,000 shares of indirect ownership of shares owned by others (the M2 members); (iii) 250,000 shares of indirect ownership of shares underlying vested stock options owned by others (the two founding members of M2 [Matthew Atkinson, M2’s manager, co-founder and our Secretary, and Mark

Savage, M2’s other co-founder and one of our directors]); and (iv) 7,000,000 shares of indirect ownership of shares owned by the Apeiron shareholders. The respective Shareholder Voting Agreements have two (2) year terms, respectively ending December 17, 2019 (M2 member shares); and December 31, 2020 (Apeiron shareholders shares). Based upon the present number of our outstanding shares of common stock of 41,966,286 shares (which includes 1,274,000 shares underlying vested stock options that can be exercised within 60 days of the date of the filing of this Current Report, Mr. McEwen is currently the beneficial owner of approximately 80.1% of our outstanding shares. See the Schedule 13DA-1 of Mr. McEwen incorporated herein by reference in Item 9.01 hereof. Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Markets OTC Pink Tier (the “ OTC Pink Tier ”) under the trading symbol “ KTEL .”

The information contained in this Current Report responds to the following items of Form 8-K:

Item 1.01 Entry into Definitive Material Agreement.

We entered into an Agreement for the Purchase and Sale of Membership Interest dated as of February 5, 2018 (the “ IM Telecom PSMI ”), with the transaction documents being deposited in escrow on February 7, 2018, respecting the acquisition of 100% of the membership interest in IM Telecom, LLC, an Oklahoma limited liability company (“ IM Telecom ”), from its sole owner, Trevan Morrow (“ Mr. Morrow ”). The principal asset of IM Telecom is a “Lifeline Program” license (a Federal Communications Commission [“ FCC ”] approved Compliance Plan), the transfer of ownership of which required prior approval of the FCC, which was granted and publicly announced by the FCC on October 23, 2018. The IM Telecom PSMI initially contemplated approval of this transfer by April 30, 2018; however, the parties extended the approval date by a minor amendment to the IM Telecom PSMI. Effective December 31, 2018, though executed and delivered on January 3, 2019, the parties executed a 2 ^nd Amended IM Telecom PSMI under which, commencing January 1, 2019, the Company began the process of transitioning the main operational functions of IM Telecom from Tulsa, Oklahoma, to our executive offices in Dallas, Texas, including transitioning of accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll, management of IM Telecom’s sales organization, along with sales reporting and collection/remittance of customer data to Mr. Morrow for is final approval, pending a closing date of January 31, 2019. The purchase price of the 100% membership interest is nominal; however, IM Telecom initially had approximately $447,000 in liabilities, which have been compromised for approximately $416,932.58, which is the “ Maximum Allowable IM Telecom Debt ” for which we will be responsible under the IM Telecom PSMI, and all other indebtedness, if any, shall be the responsibility of Mr. Morrow, thereunder. As of December 31, 2018, we have paid $303,323.67 of these liabilities, with an additional $60,000 being due and payable on our receipt from a third party of a release from a creditor that financed a vehicle owned by such third party, a debt that has been carried on the IM Telecom books and records, and the balance being paid as follows: $25,000 on January 31, 2019; and $28,608.91 on February 28, 2019. Additionally, as of the filing date of this Current Report, we have paid approximately $25,142.92 for third party service fees and $120,416.02 for telephone and equipment purchases for sale of use by IM Telecom, and we expect additional telephone purchases in the amount of approximately $25,560.60 to be required of us prior to the closing. All amounts we have advanced pending closing are owed to us by Mr. Morrow, and on closing, all such advances and related payments due to us by Mr. Morrow as a result of such advances shall be compromised. We also intend to engage the services of Mr. Morrow for a ninety (90) day period following closing in consideration of equity compensation in the form of an incentive stock option to acquire shares of our common stock.

Copies of the IM Telecom PSMI, as amended, and any equity compensation agreements with Mr. Morrow, will be filed as Exhibits to the closing Current Report or our 10-K Annual Report due to be filed with the SEC on or before March 31, 2019.

The Lifeline Program is an FCC program that provides subsidized, fixed or mobile, telecommunications services to low-income households. We currently offer “ Lifeline (virtual) ” services, primarily in the State of California, as a virtual eligible telecommunications carrier (“ VETC ”) under another wireless company. IM Telecom is one of only

15 eligible telecommunications carriers (“ ETC ”) with an FCC approved Compliance Plan, and authorized to operate as a Lifeline provider in Oklahoma, Georgia, South Carolina, Vermont, Wisconsin, Nevada and Maryland. The FCC has not granted an ETC approved Compliance Plan since December 2012.
