Overview

 

As a provider of cloud communications solutions to the SMB, we are seeking to capitalize on the migration by businesses from the legacy telephone network to the Internet Protocol (“IP”) telecommunication network and the migration from hardware-based on-premise telephone systems to software-based communication systems in the cloud. Most SMBs are lagging in technical capabilities and advancement and seldom reach the economies of scale that their larger counterparts enjoy, due to their achievement of a critical mass and ability to deploy a single solution to a large number of workers. SMBs are typically unable to afford comprehensive enterprise solutions and, therefore, need to integrate a combination of business solutions to meet their needs. Cloud computing has revolutionized the industry and opened the door for businesses of all sizes to gain access to enterprise applications with affordable pricing. This especially holds true for cloud telephony applications, but SMBs are still a higher-touch sale that requires customer support for system integration, network installation, cabling, and troubleshooting. We have placed a significant emphasis on that “local” touch when selling, delivering, and supporting our services which we believe will differentiate us from the national providers that are experiencing high attrition rates due to poor customer support.


The adoption of cloud communication services is being driven by the convergence of several market trends, including the increasing costs of maintaining installed legacy communications systems, the fragmentation resulting from use of multiple on-premise systems, and the proliferation of personal smartphones used in the workplace. Today, businesses are increasingly looking for an affordable path to modernizing their communications system to improve productivity, business performance and customer experience. Most recently, the COVID-19 Pandemic has increased demand for communication systems that support model.remote working environments.

Our cloud solutions offer the SMB reliable, robust, and full-featured services at what we consider to be affordable monthly rates that eliminates high-cost capital expenditures and provides for integration with other cloud-based systems.

The aggregate purchase price for the Purchased Assets was $2,555,000 in cash, subject to adjustment as provided therein (the “Purchase Price”). $1,190,000 of the Purchase Price was payable at closing, with $50,000 of such amount being withheld by T3 Florida for a period of 12 months to cover part of potential future indemnification obligations of Seller to T3 Florida due to Seller’s breaches, if any, of any representations and warranties made to T3 Florida by Seller under the Purchase Agreement, and $40,000 of such amount being credited to T3 Florida against a payment in that amount made by T3 Florida to Seller pursuant to the Second Amendment to Letter of Intent between Seller and T3 Florida dated as of October 15, 2020.

Part of the Purchase Price is payable in 8 equal quarterly payments of $136,250, subject to T3 Florida achieving quarterly post-purchase recurring revenues under monthly contracts or subscriptions from the acquired customer base, excluding charges for taxes, regulatory fees, additional set-up fees, equipment purchases or lease, and consulting fees. To the extent that a quarterly revenue threshold is not reached, the amount of the corresponding quarterly payment shall be reduced on a proportional basis. T3 Florida’s $1,190,000 payment obligation is represented by a promissory note of T3 Florida in the form included as an exhibit to the Purchase Agreement. The note, in turn, is subject to the Subordination Agreement, included as an Exhibit to the Purchase Agreement, among Seller, the Company’s parent, T3 Nevada, and Post Road Administrative, LLC, in its capacity as administrative agent for the Post Road lenders. $275,000 of the Purchase Price (the “Customer Renewal Value”) represents an incentive earn-out to be paid with respect to Seller’s customer accounts which are transferred to T3 Florida at closing, that are renewed, expanded and/or revised with T3 Florida for a minimum term of twelve months with an auto-renewal for 12 months.

In connection with the Purchase Agreement, we entered into Consulting Agreements and a Non-Compete Agreement with each of Alex Gonzalez and Jose Gonzalez, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Technology Officer of Seller.


Credit Agreement and Notes

On November 17, 2020, T3 Communications, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“T3 Nevada”), a majority owned subsidiary of Digerati Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) and the Company’s other subsidiaries entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Post Road Administrative LLC and its affiliate Post Road Special Opportunity Fund II LLP (collectively, “Post Road”). The Company is a party to certain sections of the Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, Post Road will provide T3 Nevada with a secured loan of up to $20,000,000 (the “Loan”), with initial loans of $10,500,000 pursuant to the issuance of a Term Loan A Note and $3,500,000 pursuant to the issuance of a Term Loan B Note, each funded on November 17, 2020, and an additional $6,000,000 on loans, in increments of $1,000,000 as requested by T3 Nevada before the 18 month anniversary of the initial funding date to be lent pursuant to the issuance of a Delayed Draw Term Note.

The Term Loan A and Delayed Draw Term Notes have maturity dates of November 17, 2024 and an interest rate of LIBOR (with a minimum rate of 1.5%) plus twelve percent (12%). Term Loan A is non-amortized (interest only payments) through the maturity date and contains an option for the Company to pay interest in kind (PIK) for up to five percent (5%) of the interest rate in year one, four percent (4%) in year two and three percent (3%) in year three.

Term Loan B has a maturity date of December 31, 2021 and an interest rate of LIBOR (with a minimum rate of 1.5%) plus twelve percent (12%). Term Loan B is non-amortized (interest only payments) through the maturity date and contains an option for the Company to pay interest in kind (PIK) for up to five percent (5%) of the interest rate in year one, four percent (4%) in year two and three percent (3%) in year three.

Permitted use of proceeds for the initial $14,000,000 of the Loan included approximately $9.452 million for the purchase price for the merger of Nexogy with and into an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company described above, $1.190 million for the purchase price and transaction fees of certain assets of ActiveServe, Inc. described above, $1.487 million for the payment in full of outstanding debts owed and accrued interest to three creditors, including the secured creditor Thermo Communication, Inc., the payment of approximately $464,000 paid to Post Road, and recognized as deferred financing cost, and will be amortized over the terms of the notes. In addition, the Company expensed $430,000 in legal fees associated to the acquisitions and financing.

The Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and indemnification provisions. The Credit Agreement also contains affirmative and negative covenants with respect to operation of the business and properties of the loan parties as well as financial performance.

T3 Nevada’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a first-priority security interest in all of the assets of T3 Nevada and guaranteed by the other subsidiaries of the Company pursuant to the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement, dated November 17, 2020, by and among T3 Nevada, the Company’s other subsidiaries, and Post Road Administrative LLC (the “Guaranty and Collateral Agreement”). In addition, T3 Nevada’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are, pursuant to a Pledge Agreement (the “Pledge Agreement”), secured by a pledge of a first priority security interest in T3 Nevada’s 100% equity ownership of each of T3 Nevada’s operating companies.

Post Road Warrant

In connection with the Credit Agreement, on November 17, 2020, the Company issued a Warrant to Post Road Special Opportunity Fund II LP (the “Post Road Warrant”) to purchase, initially, twenty-five percent (25%) of the Company’s total shares outstanding, calculated on a fully diluted basis as of the date of issuance (the “Post Road Warrant Shares”) and subject to a reduction to fifteen percent (15%) as described below.

The number of Post Road Warrant Shares is adjustable to allow the holder to maintain, subject to certain share issuances that are exceptions, the right to purchase twenty-five percent (25%) of the Company’s total shares outstanding, calculated on a fully diluted basis. The Post Road Warrant has an exercise price of $0.01 per share and the Post Road Warrant expires on November 17, 2030. Seventy-five percent (75%) of the Post Road Warrant Shares are immediately fully vested and not subject to forfeiture at any time for any reason. The remaining twenty-five percent (25%) of the Post Road Warrant Shares are subject to forfeiture based on the Company achieving certain performance targets which, if achieved, would result in twenty percent (20%) warrant coverage. If the minority shareholders of T3 Nevada convert their T3 Nevada shares into shares of the Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, the Post Road Warrant Shares percentage shall also be lowered such that when combined with the achievement of the performance targets, the warrant coverage could be reduced to fifteen percent (15%) of the shares outstanding.


In connection with the issuance of the Post Road Warrant, the three executives of the Company, Art Smith, Antonio Estrada, and Craig Clement entered into a Tag-Along Agreement (the “Tag-Along Agreement”) whereby they agreed that the holder of the Post Road Warrant or Post Road Warrant Shares will have the right to participate or “tag-along” in any agreements to sell any shares of their common stock that such executives enter into. The Company also agreed, in connection with the issuance of the Post Road Warrant and pursuant to a Board Observer Agreement (the “Board Observer Agreement”), to grant Post Road the right to appoint a representative to each of the boards of directors of the Company and each of its subsidiaries, to attend all board meeting in a non-voting observer capacity.

Equity Issuance

On November 17, 2020, the Company issued 3,730,000 options to purchase common shares to various employees with an exercise price of $0.04 per share and a term of 5 years. The options vest equally over a period of three years.

Summary of the Offering

Issuer:Digerati Technologies, Inc.
Securities offered by us:[_______] Units, each consisting of one share of Common Stock and one warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase one share of Common Stock. The Units will not be certificated or issued in stand-alone form. The shares of our Common Stock and the Warrants comprising the Units are immediately separable upon issuance and will be issued and tradeable separately. The [________] Unit amount referenced above is based on the Units being sold at the mid-point of the estimated offering price range of $[___] per Unit and such Unit amount shall change if the Unit price is less or more than $[__] in such manner to maintain the gross proceeds at $[__] million. For instance, if the Unit price is $[4.50] per Unit, the number of Units to be sold in the offering shall be [2,222,222].
Assumed Offering Price:$            per Unit which is the mid-point of the estimated offering price range described on the cover of this prospectus. The actual offering price per unit will be as determined between Maxim Group LLC (the “Underwriter”) and us at the time of pricing and may be issued at a discount to the current market price of our Common Stock.

Shares of Common Stock outstanding prior to the offering:

            shares

Shares of Common Stock outstanding after the offering:

                       excluding the possible sale of over-allotment shares, and assuming none of the Warrants issued in this offering are exercised.
Trading symbols:Our Common Stock is presently quoted on the OTCQB under the symbol “DTGI.” We have applied to have our Common Stock and warrants listed on Nasdaq under the symbols “NXGY” and “NXGYW,” respectively. We will not proceed with this offering in the event the Common Stock and Warrants are not approved for listing on Nasdaq.
Over-allotment Option:

We have granted the representative of the underwriters an option, exercisable for 45 days after the date of this prospectus, to purchase up to an additional           shares of Common Stock and/or Warrants to purchase up to [______] shares of Common Stock, in any combination thereof, at the public offering price per Unit , less, in each case, the underwriting discounts payable by us, in any combination solely to cover over-allotments, if any.

Use of proceeds:

We expect to receive net proceeds of approximately $      million from this offering, based on a public offering price of $          per share of Common Stock and Warrant and assuming the underwriter(s) do not exercise their option to purchase additional shares of Common Stock or Warrants and excluding the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants or other outstanding warrants, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

We plan to use the net proceeds we receive from this offering primarily for the following purposes: approximately 40% of the net proceeds (approximately $3.5 million) to repay the Term Loan B Note owed to Post Road the proceeds of which were used to fund the Nexogy acquisition; approximately 20% of the net proceeds (approximately $1.5 million) to fund potential acquisitions although we do not have any agreements at this time to potentially acquire other entities; approximately 40% of the net proceeds (approximately $3.5 million) for working capital and other general corporate purposes; and one-time cash payments to officers of the Company in the approximate aggregate amount of $170,000 ($75,000 to be paid to Art Smith, our CEO, $60,000 to be paid to Antonio Estrada, our CFO, and $35,000 to be paid to Craig Clement, our Executive Chairman) upon the Company listing on a primary stock exchange, provided that each recipient of such cash payment may elect to receive Common Stock or apply such amount towards the exercise of vested stock options in lieu of the cash payment. See “Use of Proceeds.”


Description of the warrants:

The exercise price of the Warrants is $[__] per share (110% of the assumed public offering price of one Unit). Each warrant is exercisable for one share of Common Stock, subject to adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications, reorganizations or similar events affecting our Common Stock as described herein. A holder may not exercise any portion of a warrant to the extent that the holder, together with its affiliates and any other person or entity acting as a group, would own more than 4.99% of the outstanding Common Stock after exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the warrants, except that upon notice from the holder to us, the holder may waive such limitation up to a percentage, not in excess of 9.99%. Each warrant will be exercisable immediately upon issuance and will expire five years after the initial issuance date. The terms of the warrants will be governed by a Warrant Agreement, dated as of the effective date of this offering, between us and [____], as the warrant agent (the “Warrant Agent”). This prospectus also relates to the offering of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. For more information regarding the warrants, you should carefully read the section titled “Description of Securities—Warrants” in this prospectus.

Representative’s Warrants

The registration statement of which this prospectus is a part also registers for sale warrants (the “Representative’s Warrants”) to purchase shares of our Common Stock (based on an offering price of $[__] per share, which is the mid-point of the estimated offering price range described on the cover of this prospectus) to Maxim Group LLC (the “Representative”), as the representative of the several underwriters, as a portion of the underwriting compensation payable to the Representative in connection with this offering. The Representative’s Warrants will be exercisable at any time, and from time to time, in whole or in part, during the period beginning 180 days from the commencement of sales of the securities in this offering, will expire five (5) years from the commencement of sales of the securities issued in this offering and will have an exercise price of $[__] (110% of the assumed public offering price of the Units).

We intend to effectuate the reverse split of our Common Stock in a ratio to be determined by the Board immediately following the effective date but prior to the closing of the offering. Unless otherwise stated and other than in our financial statements and the notes thereto, all share and per share information in this prospectus reflects a proposed reverse stock split of the outstanding Common Stock and treasury stock of the Company at an assumed 1-to-[__] ratio to occur immediately following the effective date but prior to the closing of the offering.

RISK FACTORS

Any investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the risks described below, together with all of the other information contained in this prospectus, before you decide whether to purchase our securities. If any of these actually occur, our business, financial condition or operating results could be adversely affected. The risks described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks not currently known to us or that we currently do not deem material also may become important factors that may materially and adversely affect our business. The trading price of our securities could decline due to any of these described or additional risks and you could lose part or all of your investment.

Risks Related to Our Business

WE HAVE A HISTORY OF OPERATING LOSSES, ANTICIPATE FUTURE LOSSES, AND MAY NEVER BE PROFITABLE.

We have experienced significant operating losses in our Company’s recent history. Our ability to achieve annual profitability in the future depends on a number of factors, including our ability to attract and service customers on a profitable basis and the growth of the UCaaS (Unified Communications as a Service) sector of our industry. If we are unable to achieve annual profitability, we may not be able to execute our business plan, our prospects may be harmed, and our stock price could be materially and adversely affected.

WE HAVE AN ACCUMULATED DEFICIT AND WE ANTICIPATE CONTINUING LOSSES THAT WILL RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT LIQUIDITY AND CASH FLOW PROBLEMS AND WE MAY BE FORCED TO CEASE OPERATIONS.

We have incurred losses since our inception and have an accumulated deficit of approximately $104,166,000 as of April 30, 2021. Our operations have been financed primarily through the issuance of equity and debt. For the year ended July 31, 2020, our net loss was $3,424,000. For the nine months ended April 30, 2021, net loss including noncontrolling interest and cash used in operating activities were $15,692,000 and $403,000, respectively. We are constantly evaluating our cash needs and our burn rate, in order to make appropriate adjustments in operating expenses. We anticipate that our cash used in operations will continue to increase as a result of being a public company due to increased professional fees. Our continued existence is dependent upon, among other things, our ability to raise capital and to market and sell our products and services successfully. While we are attempting to increase sales, growth has not been significant enough to support daily operations, there is no assurance that we will continue as a going concern. If we are unable to continue as a going concern and were forced to cease operations, it is likely that our stockholders would lose their entire investment in our company.

OUR AUDITORS HAVE EXPRESSED DOUBTS ABOUT OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN. IF WE WERE FORCED TO CEASE OUR BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS, YOU WOULD LOSE YOUR INVESTMENT IN OUR COMPANY.

Our revenues are not sufficient to enable us to meet our operating expenses and otherwise implement our business plan. The report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our financial statements for the year ended July 31, 2020 contains an explanatory paragraph raising doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern as a result of our losses from operations, stockholders’ deficit, and negative working capital. Our consolidated financial statements, which appear elsewhere in this prospectus, are prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect future adverse effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or amounts and classification of liabilities that may result if we are not successful.


THE MARKETS IN WHICH WE COMPETE ARE HIGHLY COMPETITIVE.

The cloud services and internet-based telephony products and services markets in which we primarily compete are highly competitive and are influenced by competitive factors including:

our ability to rapidly develop and introduce new high performance integrated solutions;
the price and total cost of ownership and return on investment associated with the solutions;
the simplicity of deployment and use of the solutions;
the reliability and scalability of the solutions;
the market awareness of a particular brand;
our ability to provide secure access to data networks;
our ability to offer a suite of products and solutions;
our ability to allow centralized management of the solutions; and
our ability to provide quality product support.

New entrants seeking to gain market share by introducing new technology and new products may also make it more difficult for us to sell our products and could create increased pricing pressure.

We expect competition to continuously intensify as other established and new companies introduce new products in the same markets that we serve or intend to enter, as these markets consolidate. Our business will suffer if we do not maintain our competitiveness.

A number of our current or potential competitors have longer operating histories, greater brand recognition, larger customer bases, and significantly greater resources than we do.

As we move into new markets for different types of products, our brand may not be as well-known as incumbents in those markets. Potential customers may prefer to purchase from their existing suppliers or well-known brands rather than a new supplier, regardless of product performance or features. We expect increased competition from other established and emerging companies as our markets continue to develop and expand. As we enter new markets, we expect to face competition from incumbent and new market participants and there is no assurance that our entry into new markets will be successful.

MANY OF THE COMPANIES AGAINST WHICH WE COMPETE HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY GREATER FINANCIAL, TECHNICAL, MARKETING, DISTRIBUTION AND OTHER RESOURCES THAN WE DO AND ARE BETTER POSITIONED TO ACQUIRE AND OFFER COMPLEMENTARY PRODUCTS AND TECHNOLOGIES.

Industry consolidation, acquisitions and other arrangements among competitors may adversely affect our competitiveness because it may be more difficult to compete with entities that have access to their combined resources. As a result of such consolidation, acquisition or other arrangements, our current and potential competitors might be able to adapt more quickly to new technologies and consumer preference, devote greater resources to the marketing and promotion of their products, initiate or withstand price competition, and take advantage of acquisitions or other opportunities more readily and develop and expand their products more quickly than we do. These combinations may also affect customers’ perceptions regarding the viability of companies our size and, consequently, affect their willingness to purchase our products.


THE COMPLEXITY OF OUR PRODUCTS COULD RESULT IN UNFORESEEN DELAYS OR EXPENSES CAUSED BY UNDETECTED DEFECTS OR BUGS.

Our products may contain defects and bugs when they are introduced, or as new versions are released. We have focused, and intend to focus in the future, on getting our new products to market quickly. Due to our rapid product introductions, defects and bugs that may be contained in our products may not yet have manifested. We have in the past experienced, and may in the future experience, defects and bugs. If any of our products contain material defects or bugs, or has reliability, quality, or compatibility problems, we may not be able to correct these problems promptly or successfully. The existence of defects or bugs in our products may damage our reputation and disrupt our sales. If any of these problems are not found until after we have commenced commercial production and distribution of a new product, we may be required to incur additional development costs from our technology provider, repair or replacement costs, and other costs relating to regulatory proceedings, product recalls and litigation, which could harm our reputation and operating results. Undetected defects or bugs may lead to negative online Internet reviews of our products, which are increasingly becoming a significant factor in the success of our new product launches, especially for our consumer products. If we are unable to quickly respond to negative reviews, including end user reviews posted on various prominent online retailers, our ability to sell these products will be harmed. Moreover, we may offer stock rotation rights to our distributors. If we experience greater returns from retailers or end customers, or greater warranty claims, in excess of our reserves, our business, revenue and operating results could be harmed.

SECURITY VULNERABILITIES IN OUR PRODUCTS, SERVICES AND SYSTEMS COULD LEAD TO REDUCED REVENUES AND CLAIMS AGAINST US.

The quality and performance of some of our products and services may depend upon their ability to withstand cyber attacks. Third parties may develop and deploy viruses, worms, and other malicious software programs, some of which may be designed to attack our products, systems, or networks. Some of our products and services also involve the storage and transmission of users’ and customers’ proprietary information which may be the target of cyber attacks. Hardware and software that we produce or procure from third parties also may contain defects in manufacture or design, including bugs and other problems, which could compromise their ability to withstand cyber attacks.

The costs to us to eliminate or alleviate security vulnerabilities can be significant, and our efforts to address these problems may not be successful and could result in interruptions, delays, cessation of service and loss of existing or potential customers that may impede our sales, manufacturing, distribution, or other critical functions, as well as potential liability to the company. The risk that these types of events could seriously harm our business is likely to increase as we expand the web-based products and services that we offer.

WE WILL NEED ADDITIONAL FINANCING WHICH WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO OBTAIN ON ACCEPTABLE TERMS IF AT ALL. DUE TO THE SIZE OF OUR COMPANY AND THE LACK OF A PUBLIC MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK IT IS LIKELY THAT THE TERMS OF ANY FINANCING WE MAY BE ABLE TO SECURE WILL BE DETRIMENTAL TO OUR CURRENT STOCKHOLDERS.

Our current operations are not sufficient to fund our operating expenses and we will need to raise additional working capital to continue our current business and to provide funds for marketing to support our efforts to increase our revenues. Generally, small businesses such as ours which lack a robust public market for their securities, face significant difficulties in their efforts to raise equity capital. While to date we have relied upon the relationships of our executive officers in our capital raising efforts, there are no assurances that we will be successful utilizing these existing sources. We have engaged the Representative to assist us in our capital raising efforts via this offering. There are no assurances that the terms of this offering will be as favorable as those we have offered our investors to date. While we do not have any commitments to provide additional capital, if we are able to raise capital, the structure of that capital raise could impact our company and our stockholders in a variety of ways. If we raise additional capital through the issuance of debt, this will result in interest expense. In addition, the Term Loan Notes we’ve issued to Post Road requires us to obtain Post Road’s consent prior to closing this offering.

If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our company held by existing stockholders will be reduced and those stockholders may experience significant dilution. In addition, new securities may contain certain rights, preferences or privileges that are senior to those of our Common Stock. We cannot assure you that we will be able to raise the working capital as needed in the future on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If we do not raise funds as needed, we may not be able to continue our operations and it is likely that you would lose your entire investment in our company.


WE MAY NEED TO RAISE CAPITAL OVER THE NEXT TWELVE MONTHS TO FUND OUR OPERATIONS.

We do not have any additional commitments to provide capital and we cannot assure you that funds are available to us upon terms acceptable to us, if at all. If we do not raise funds as needed, our ability to provide for current working capital needs and satisfy our obligations is in jeopardy. In this event, you could lose all of your investment in our company.

WE DEPEND ON OUR KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL AND THE LOSS OF THEIR SERVICES COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS.

We place substantial reliance upon the efforts and abilities of our executive officers Arthur L. Smith, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and Antonio Estrada Jr., our Chief Financial Officer. The loss of the services of any of our executive officers could have a material adverse effect on our business, operations, revenues, or prospects. We maintain a $4 million key man life insurance policy with regard to Mr. Smith but do not have such a policy with regard to Mr. Estrada.

MANAGEMENT EXERCISES SIGNIFICANT CONTROL OVER MATTERS REQUIRING SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL WHICH MAY RESULT IN THE DELAY OR PREVENTION OF A CHANGE IN OUR CONTROL.

Arthur L. Smith, our President and Chief Executive Officer, Antonio Estrada Jr., our Chief Financial Officer and Craig K. Clement, Chairman of the Board, have voting power equal to approximately 60% of our voting securities with the inclusion of our Series F Super Voting Preferred Stock which is only held by Messrs. Smith, Estrada, and Clement. As a result, management through such stock ownership rights has the ability to exercise significant control over all matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership in management may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of us that may be otherwise viewed as beneficial by shareholders other than management.

OUR REVENUES, OPERATING MARGINS, CASH FLOWS AND OTHER OPERATING RESULTS COULD VARY SIGNIFICANTLY FROM PERIOD TO PERIOD AS A RESULT OF VARIOUS FACTORS, MANY OF WHICH ARE OUTSIDE OF OUR CONTROL.

Our revenues, operating margins, cash flows and other operating results could vary significantly from period to period as a result of various factors, many of which are outside of our control. Our customers also have the choice of entering into agreements for term licenses and agreements for our cloud services.

WE EMPLOY MULTIPLE AND EVOLVING PRICING MODELS FOR OUR OFFERINGS.

We offer a subscription model for cloud services. We offer our services in a variety of packages for each of our product lines that includes UCaaS, SD WAN, and broadband solutions. Each of these product lines have different payment schedules, and depending on the mix of such licenses and cloud subscriptions, our revenues or deferred revenues could be adversely affected.

IT MAY BE DIFFICULT TO EVALUATE OUR FUTURE PROSPECTS AND MAY INCREASE RISK THAT WE WILL NOT BE SUCCESSFUL.

Some of the risks include:

respond timely and effectively to competitor offerings and pricing models;
appropriately price our offerings;
manage the costs of providing our cloud services;
generate leads and convert users of the trial versions of our offerings to paying customers;
prevent users from circumventing the terms of their licenses and cloud subscriptions;


continue to invest in our platform to deliver additional enhancements and content for our offerings and to foster an ecosystem of developers and users to expand the use cases of our offerings;

maintain and enhance our website and cloud services infrastructure to minimize interruptions when accessing our offerings;
process, store and use our employees, customers’, and other third parties’ data in compliance with applicable governmental regulations and other legal obligations related to data privacy, data protection, data transfer, data residency, encryption and security;
hire, integrate and retain world-class professional and technical talent; and
successfully integrate acquired businesses and technologies.

IF WE OR OUR THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS EXPERIENCE A SECURITY BREACH OR UNAUTHORIZED PARTIES OTHERWISE OBTAIN ACCESS TO OUR CUSTOMERS’ NETWORK, OUR DATA, OR OUR CLOUD SERVICES, OUR OFFERINGS MAY BE PERCEIVED AS NOT BEING SECURE, OUR REPUTATION MAY BE HARMED, DEMAND FOR OUR OFFERINGS MAY BE REDUCED, AND WE MAY INCUR SIGNIFICANT LIABILITIES.

Our offerings involve the storage and transmission of data, and security breaches could result in the loss of this information, litigation, indemnity obligations and other liability. We may become the target of cyber-attacks by third parties seeking unauthorized access to our data or users’ data or to disrupt our ability to provide service. While we have taken steps to protect the confidential information that we have access to, including confidential information we may obtain through our customer support services or customer usage of our cloud services, our security measures or those of our third-party service providers could be breached or we could suffer data loss. Computer malware, viruses, social engineering (predominantly spear phishing attacks), and general hacking have become more prevalent in our industry, particularly against cloud services. In addition, we do not directly control content that customers store in our offerings. If customers use our offerings for the transmission or storage of personally identifiable information and our security measures are or are believed to have been breached as a result of third-party action, employee error, malfeasance or otherwise, our reputation could be damaged, our business may suffer, and we could incur significant liability.

We also process, store, and transmit our own data as part of our business and operations. This data may include personally identifiable, confidential, or proprietary information. There can be no assurance that any security measures that we or our third-party service providers have implemented will be effective against current or future security threats. While we have developed systems and processes to protect the integrity, confidentiality and security of our data, our security measures or those of our third-party service providers could fail and result in unauthorized access to or disclosure, modification, misuse, loss or destruction of such data.

Because there are many different security breach techniques and such techniques continue to evolve, we may be unable to anticipate attempted security breaches and implement adequate preventative measures. Third parties may also conduct attacks designed to temporarily deny customers access to our cloud services. Any security breach or other security incident, or the perception that one has occurred, could result in a loss of customer confidence in the security of our offerings and damage to our brand, reduce the demand for our offerings, disrupt normal business operations, require us to spend material resources to investigate or correct the breach, expose us to legal liabilities, including litigation, regulatory enforcement, and indemnity obligations, and adversely affect our revenues and operating results. These risks may increase as we continue to grow the number and scale of our cloud services, and process, store, and transmit increasingly large amounts of data.

WE USE THIRD-PARTY TECHNOLOGY AND SYSTEMS FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ENCRYPTION AND AUTHENTICATION TECHNOLOGY, EMPLOYEE EMAIL, CONTENT DELIVERY TO CUSTOMERS, BACK-OFFICE SUPPORT, CREDIT CARD PROCESSING AND OTHER FUNCTIONS.

Although we have developed systems and processes that are designed to protect customer information and prevent data loss and other security breaches, including systems and processes designed to reduce the impact of a security breach at a third-party vendor, such measures cannot provide absolute security.

Interruptions or performance problems associated with our technology and infrastructure, and our reliance on Unified Communications as a Service (“UCaaS”) technologies from third parties, may adversely affect our business operations and financial results.


Our continued growth depends in part on the ability of our existing and potential customers to use and access our website or our cloud services in order to download our on-premises software or encrypted access keys for our software within an acceptable amount of time. We have experienced, and may in the future experience, website and cloud service disruptions, storage failures, outages, and other performance problems due to a variety of factors, including infrastructure changes, human or software errors, capacity constraints due to an overwhelming number of users accessing our website and services simultaneously, unauthorized access, denial of service, security or ransomware attacks. In some instances, we may not be able to identify the cause or causes of these website or service performance problems within an acceptable period of time. It may become increasingly difficult to maintain and improve our website and service performance, especially during peak usage times and as our offerings become more complex and our user traffic increases. If our website or cloud services are unavailable or if our users are unable to download our software or encrypted access keys within a reasonable amount of time or at all, our business would be negatively affected. We expect to continue to make significant investments to maintain and improve website and service performance and to enable rapid releases of new features and apps for our offerings. To the extent that we do not effectively address capacity constraints, upgrade our systems as needed and continually develop our technology and network architecture to accommodate actual and anticipated changes in technology, our business and operating results may be adversely affected.

We could be impacted by unfavorable results of legal proceedings, including the pending proceedings t3 communications, inc., and may, from time to time, be involved in future litigation in which substantial monetary damages are sought.

We are currently subject to a legal proceeding involving our subsidiary T3 Communications, Inc., which is discussed in more detail under the heading “Legal Proceedings.” In connection with this litigation, we may be required to pay monetary damages. Defending against current litigation is or can be time-consuming, expensive and cause diversion of our management’s attention.

In addition, we may from time to time be involved in future litigation in which substantial monetary damages are sought. Litigation claims may relate to intellectual property, contracts, employment, securities and other matters arising out of the conduct of our current and past business activities. Any claims, whether with or without merit, could be time consuming, expensive to defend and could divert management’s attention and resources. We may maintain insurance against some, but not all, of these potential claims, and the levels of insurance we do maintain may not be adequate to fully cover any and all losses.

With respect to any litigation, our insurance may not reimburse us, or may not be sufficient to reimburse us, for the expenses or losses we may suffer in contesting and concluding such lawsuit. The results of any future litigation or claims are inherently unpredictable and substantial litigation costs, unreimbursed legal fees or an adverse result in any litigation may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash from operating activities or financial condition.

OUR BUSINESS COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY WIDESPREAD PUBLIC HEALTH EPIDEMICS, SUCH AS COVID-19, OR OTHER CATASTROPHIC EVENTS BEYOND OUR CONTROL.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have suspended all non-essential travel for our employees, are canceling or postponing in-person attendance at industry events and limiting in-person work-related meetings. Currently, as a result of the work and travel restrictions related to the ongoing pandemic, several of our business activities are being conducted remotely which might be less effective than in-person meetings or in-office work. Despite these precautions, the necessary work within our laboratory and of our collaborators has continued without significant interruption. Although we continue to monitor the situation and may adjust our current policies as more information and guidance become available, temporarily suspending travel and limitations on doing business in-person has and could continue to negatively impact our business development efforts and create operational or other challenges, any of which could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic could disrupt our operations due to absenteeism by infected or ill members of management or other employees because of our limited staffing. COVID-19 related illness could also impact members of our Board of Directors resulting in absenteeism from meetings of the directors or committees of directors and making it more difficult to convene the quorums of the full Board of Directors or its committees needed to conduct meetings for the management of our affairs.


Risks Related to Our Stock

UPON EXERCISE OF OUR OUTSTANDING WARRANTS, WE WILL BE OBLIGATED TO ISSUE A SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER OF ADDITIONAL SHARES OF COMMON STOCK WHICH WILL DILUTE OUR PRESENT SHAREHOLDERS.

We are obligated to issue additional shares of our Stock in connection with our outstanding warrants. Currently outstanding warrants are exercisable for 45,952,758 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Post Road Warrant. The exercise of these warrants will cause us to issue additional shares of our Common Stock and will dilute the percentage ownership of our shareholders. The 45,952,758 shares are the current number; however, this may increase in the future as Post Road is entitled to exercise the Post Road Warrant for at least fifteen percent (15%) of the Common Stock outstanding, calculated on a fully-diluted basis. The 107,701,179 warrant shares that Post Road reported it owned in the Schedule 13D it filed on November 27, 2020 represents twenty-five percent (25%) of the Company’s total shares of Common Stock, calculated on a fully diluted basis, which assumes future share issuances that are not certain or not yet contractually obligated to be issued. As described above under “Post Road Warrant,” based on the Company’s achievement of certain performance targets, the Post Road Warrant may be exercisable into twenty percent (20%) of the Common Stock, calculated on a fully-diluted basis as described above. In addition, the Post Road Warrant may be exercisable into fifteen percent (15%) of the Common Stock, calculated on a fully-diluted basis as described above, if the minority stockholders of T3 Nevada, convert their T3 Nevada shares into shares of the Common Stock.

OUR STOCK PRICE MAY BE VOLATILE, WHICH COULD RESULT IN SUBSTANTIAL LOSSES FOR INVESTORS.

The market price of our Common Stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including the following:

technological innovations or new products and services by us or our competitors;
additions or departures of key personnel;

sales of our Common Stock, particularly under any registration statement for the purposes of selling any other securities, including management shares;

negative sentiment from investors, customers, vendors, and strategic partners due to doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern;
our ability to execute our business plan;
operating results that fall below expectations;
loss of any strategic relationship;
industry developments;
economic and other external factors; and
period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results.

In addition, the securities markets have from time-to-time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also significantly affect the market price of our Common Stock.


WE ARE SUBJECT TO PENNY STOCK RULES WHICH WILL MAKE THE SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK MORE DIFFICULT TO SELL.

We are subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s “penny stock” rules since our shares of Common Stock sell below $5.00 per share. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a per share price of less than $5.00. The penny stock rules require broker-dealers to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to completing the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation.

In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. The penny stock rules are burdensome and may reduce purchases of any offerings and reduce the trading activity for shares of our Common Stock. As long as our shares of Common Stock are subject to the penny stock rules, the holders of such shares of Common Stock may find it more difficult to sell their securities.

THERE IS, AT PRESENT, ONLY A LIMITED MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK AND WE CANNOT ENSURE INVESTORS THAT AN ACTIVE MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK WILL EVER DEVELOP OR BE SUSTAINED.

Our shares of Common Stock are thinly traded. Due to the illiquidity of our Common Stock, the market price of our Common Stock may not accurately reflect our relative value. There can be no assurance that there will be an active market for our shares of Common Stock either now or in the future. Because our Common Stock is so thinly traded, a large block of shares traded can lead to a dramatic fluctuation in the share price and investors may not be able to liquidate their investment in us at all or at a price that reflects the value of the business. In addition, our Common Stock currently trades on the OTCQB, which generally lacks the liquidity, research coverage and institutional investor following of a national securities exchange like the NYSE American, the New York Stock Exchange, or the Nasdaq Stock Market. While we intend to list our Common Stock on a national securities exchange once we satisfy the initial listing standards for such an exchange, we currently do not, and may not ever, satisfy such initial listing standards.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS CAN AUTHORIZE THE ISSUANCE OF PREFERRED STOCK, WHICH COULD DIMINISH THE RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF OUR COMMON STOCK AND MAKE A CHANGE OF CONTROL OF US MORE DIFFICULT EVEN IF IT MIGHT BENEFIT OUR SHAREHOLDERS.

Our Board of Directors is authorized to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the voting powers, preferences and other rights and limitations of the preferred stock. We may issue additional shares of preferred stock with a preference over our Common Stock with respect to dividends or distributions on liquidation or dissolution, or that may otherwise adversely affect the voting or other rights of the holders of Common Stock. Issuances of preferred stock, depending upon the rights, preferences and designations of the preferred stock, may have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change of control, even if that change of control might benefit our shareholders.

OFFERS OR AVAILABILITY FOR SALE OF A SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER OF SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK MAY CAUSE THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK TO DECLINE.

Sales of a significant number of shares of our Common Stock in the public market could harm the market price of our Common Stock and make it more difficult for us to raise funds through future offerings of Common Stock. As additional shares of our Common Stock become available for resale in the public market, the supply of our Common Stock will increase, which could decrease the price of our Common Stock.

In addition, if our shareholders sell substantial amounts of our Common Stock in the public market, upon the expiration of any statutory holding period under Rule 144, upon the expiration of lock-up periods applicable to outstanding shares, or upon the exercise of outstanding options or warrants, it could create a circumstance commonly referred to as an “overhang,” in anticipation of which the market price of our Common Stock could fall. The existence of an overhang, whether or not sales have occurred or are occurring, could also make it more difficult for us to raise additional financing through the sale of equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate.


WE DO NOT EXPECT TO PAY DIVIDENDS IN THE FUTURE. AS A RESULT, ANY RETURN ON INVESTMENT, MAY BE LIMITED TO THE VALUE OF OUR COMMON STOCK.

We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our Common Stock will depend on our earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors as our board of directors may consider relevant. If we do not pay dividends, our Common Stock may be less valuable because a return on an investment in our Common Stock will only occur if our stock price appreciates.

WE HAVE NOT VOLUNTARILY IMPLEMENTED VARIOUS CORPORATE GOVERNANCE MEASURES, THE ABSENCE OF WHICH, STOCKHOLDERS MAY HAVE MORE LIMITED PROTECTIONS AGAINST INTERESTED DIRECTOR TRANSACTIONS, CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND SIMILAR MATTERS.

Federal legislation, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, has resulted in the adoption of various corporate governance measures designed to promote the integrity of the corporate management and the securities markets. Some of these measures have been adopted in response to legal requirements. Others have been adopted by companies in response to the requirements of national securities exchanges, such as the NYSE or the NASDAQ Stock Market, on which their securities are listed. Among the corporate governance measures that are required under the rules of national securities exchanges are those that address board of directors’ independence, audit committee oversight, and the adoption of a code of ethics. While we have adopted certain corporate governance measures such as a Code of Ethics, we presently have only one independent director. It is possible that if we were to add independent directors on our board, stockholders would benefit from somewhat greater assurances that internal corporate decisions were being made by disinterested directors and that policies had been implemented to define responsible conduct. For example, in the absence of audit, nominating and compensation committees comprised of at least a majority of independent directors, decisions concerning matters such as compensation packages to our senior officers and recommendations for director nominees may be made by our directors who have an interest in the outcome of the matters being decided. Prospective investors should bear in mind our current lack of corporate governance measures and single independent director in formulating their investment decisions.

OUR BUSINESS COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED IF WE FAIL TO IMPLEMENT AND MAINTAIN EFFECTIVE DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES AND INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

We concluded that as of July 31, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting were not effective. We have determined that we have deficiencies in the design or operation of our internal controls under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) within the required time periods and that material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting exist relating to not being able to provide for adequate review of our financial statements. If we are unable to implement and maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and remediate the material weaknesses in a timely manner, or if we identify other material weaknesses in the future, our ability to produce accurate and timely financial statements and public reports could be impaired, which could adversely affect our business and financial condition. We identified a lack of sufficient segregation of duties. In addition, investors may lose confidence in our reported information and the market price of our Common Stock may decline.

PUBLIC COMPANY COMPLIANCE MAY MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR US TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Act, the JOBS Act, the FAST Act, and rules subsequently implemented by the SEC have required changes in corporate governance practices of public companies. As a public company, we expect these rules and regulations, and amendments to them, to contribute to our compliance costs and to make certain activities more time consuming and costly. As a public company, we also expect that these rules and regulations may make it difficult and expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers.


Risks Related to this Offering

INVESTORS IN THIS OFFERING WILL EXPERIENCE IMMEDIATE AND SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION IN NET TANGIBLE BOOK VALUE.

The public offering price will be substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share of our outstanding shares of Common Stock. As a result, investors in this offering will incur immediate dilution of $      per share, based on the public offering price of $      per share of Common Stock. Investors in this offering will pay a price per share that substantially exceeds the book value of our assets after subtracting our liabilities. See “Dilution” for a more complete description of how the value of your investment will be diluted upon the completion of this offering.

The offering price of the common stock may not be indicative of the value of our assets or the price at which shares can be resold.

The offering price of the shares of Common Stock may not be an indication of our actual value. The offering price of per share was determined based upon negotiations between the underwriters and us. Such price does not have any relationship to any established criteria of value, such as book value or earnings per share. Such price may not be indicative of the current market value of our assets. No assurance can be given that the shares can be resold at the public offering price.

THE WARRANTS ARE SPECULATIVE IN NATURE.

The warrants offered in this offering do not confer any rights of Common Stock ownership on their holders, such as voting rights or the right to receive dividends, but rather merely represent the right to acquire shares of our Common Stock at a fixed price for a limited period of time. Specifically, commencing on the date of issuance, holders of the warrants may exercise their right to acquire the Common Stock and pay an exercise price of 110% of the public offering price of the Common Stock in this offering, prior to five years from the date of issuance, after which date any unexercised warrants will expire and have no further value. There can be no assurance that the market price of the Common Stock will ever equal or the exercise price of the warrants and consequently, whether it will ever be profitable for holders of these warrants to exercise them.

Holders of the warrants will have no rights as a common stockholder except as otherwise provided in the warrants until they acquire our common stock.

Until you acquire shares of our Common Stock upon exercise of your warrants, you will have no rights with respect to shares of our Common Stock issuable upon exercise of your warrant except as otherwise provided in the warrant. Upon exercise of your warrant, you will be entitled to exercise the rights of a common stockholder as to the security exercised only as to matters for which the record date occurs after the exercise.

Provisions of the warrants offered by this prospectus could discourage an acquisition of us by a third party.

In addition to the discussion of the provisions of our amended and restated articles of incorporation, our amended and restated by-laws, certain provisions of the warrants offered by this prospectus could make it more difficult or expensive for a third party to acquire us. The warrants prohibit us from engaging in certain transactions constituting “fundamental transactions” unless, among other things, the surviving entity assumes our obligations under the warrants. These and other provisions of the warrants offered by this prospectus could prevent or deter a third party from acquiring us even where the acquisition could be beneficial to you.

OUR MANAGEMENT WILL HAVE BROAD DISCRETION OVER THE USE OF PROCEEDS FROM THIS OFFERING AND MAY NOT USE THE PROCEEDS EFFECTIVELY.

Our management will have broad discretion over the use of proceeds from this offering. We may use the net proceeds from this offering to acquire and invest in complementary products, technologies, or businesses; however, we currently have no agreements or commitments to complete any such transaction. Our management will have considerable discretion in the application of the net proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately. The net proceeds may be used for corporate purposes that do not improve our operating results or enhance the value of our securities.


Our expected use of net proceeds from this offering represents our current intentions based upon our present plans and business condition. As of the date of this prospectus, we cannot predict with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds to be received upon the completion of this offering. The amounts and timing of our actual use of the net proceeds will vary depending on numerous factors, including amount of cash used in our operations, which can be highly uncertain, subject to substantial risks and can often change. Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds, and investors will be relying on our judgment regarding the application of the net proceeds of this offering.

The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could harm our business. Pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds from this offering in short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing securities. These investments may not yield a favorable return to our stockholders. If we do not invest or apply the net proceeds from this offering in ways that enhance stockholder value, we may fail to achieve expected financial results, which could cause our stock price to decline.

Even if we meet the initial listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market, there can be no assurance that we will be able to comply with the continued listing standards of the Nasdaq Capital Market. Our failure to meet the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market could result in a de-listing of our common stock.

Even if we meet the initial listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market, we cannot assure you that we will be able to comply with the other standards that we are required to meet in order to maintain a listing of our Common Stock and warrants on the Nasdaq Capital Market. If after listing we fail to satisfy the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market, such as the corporate governance requirements or the minimum stockholder’s equity requirement, the Nasdaq Capital Market may take steps to de-list our Common Stock and/or warrants. Such a de-listing would likely have a negative effect on the price of our Common Stock and warrants and would impair our shareholders’ ability to sell or purchase our Common Stock and warrants when they wish to do so. In the event of a de-listing, we would take actions to restore our compliance with the Nasdaq Capital Market’s listing requirements, but we can provide no assurance that any action taken by us would result in our Common Stock and/or warrants becoming listed again, or that any such action would stabilize the market price or improve the liquidity of our Common Stock or warrants.

There is no assurance that once listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market we will not continue to experience volatility in our share price.

The OTCQB Marketplace, where our Common Stock is currently quoted, is an inter-dealer, over-the-counter market that provides significantly less liquidity than the Nasdaq Capital Market. Our stock is thinly traded due to the limited number of shares available for trading on the OTCQB Marketplace thus causing large swings in price. As such, investors and potential investors may find it difficult to obtain accurate stock price quotations, and holders of our Common Stock may be unable to resell their securities at or near their original offering price or at any price. Our public offering price per share of Common Stock may vary from the market price of our Common Stock after the offering. If an active market for our stock develops and continues, our stock price may nevertheless be volatile. If our stock experiences volatility, investors may not be able to sell their Common Stock at or above the public offering price per share in this offering. Sales of substantial amounts of our Common Stock, or the perception that such sales might occur, could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our Common Stock and our stock price may decline substantially in a short period of time. As a result, our shareholders could suffer losses or be unable to liquidate their holdings. No assurance can be given that the price of our Common Stock will become less volatile when listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

Market prices for our Common Stock will be influenced by a number of factors, including:

the issuance of new equity securities pursuant to a future offering, including issuances of preferred stock;

the introduction of new products or services by us or our competitors;

any future reseller arrangements with global and domestic providers and brand owners;

changes in interest rates;

significant dilution caused by the anti-dilutive clauses in our financial agreements;


competitive developments, including announcements by competitors of new products or services or significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;

variations in quarterly operating results; 

change in financial estimates by securities analysts;

a limited amount of news and analyst coverage for our company;

the depth and liquidity of the market for our shares of Common Stock;

sales of large blocks of our Common Stock, including sales by our major stockholder, any executive officers or directors appointed in the future, or by other significant shareholders;

investor perceptions of our company and the direct selling segment generally; and

general economic and other national and international conditions.

Market price fluctuations may negatively affect the ability of investors to sell our shares at consistent prices.

Even if the reverse stock split achieves the requisite increase in the market price of our common stock, we cannot assure you that we will be able to continue to comply with the minimum bid price requirement of the Nasdaq Capital Market.

Even if the reverse stock split achieves the requisite increase in the market price of our Common Stock to be in compliance with the minimum bid price of the Nasdaq Capital Market, there can be no assurance that the market price of our Common Stock following the reverse stock split will remain at the level required for continuing compliance with that requirement. It is not uncommon for the market price of a company’s common stock to decline in the period following a reverse stock split. If the market price of our Common Stock declines following the effectuation of the reverse stock split, the percentage decline may be greater than would occur in the absence of a reverse stock split. In any event, other factors unrelated to the number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding, such as negative financial or operational results, could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock and jeopardize our ability to meet or maintain the Nasdaq Capital Market’s minimum bid price requirement.

Even if the reverse stock split increases the market price of our common stock and we meet the initial listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market, there can be no assurance that we will be able to comply with the continued listing standards of the Nasdaq Capital Market, a failure of which could result in a de-listing of our common stock.

The Nasdaq Capital Market requires that the trading price of its listed stocks remain above one dollar in order for the stock to remain listed. If a listed stock trades below one dollar for more than 30 consecutive trading days, then it is subject to delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market. In addition, to maintain a listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, we must satisfy minimum financial and other continued listing requirements and standards, including those regarding director independence and independent committee requirements, minimum stockholders’ equity, and certain corporate governance requirements. If we are unable to satisfy these requirements or standards, we could be subject to delisting, which would have a negative effect on the price of our Common Stock and would impair your ability to sell or purchase our Common Stock when you wish to do so. In the event of a delisting, we would expect to take actions to restore our compliance with the listing requirements, but we can provide no assurance that any such action taken by us would allow our Common Stock to become listed again, stabilize the market price or improve the liquidity of our Common Stock, prevent our Common Stock from dropping below the minimum bid price requirement, or prevent future non-compliance with the listing requirements.


The reverse stock split may decrease the liquidity of the shares of our common stock.

The liquidity of the shares of our Common Stock may be affected adversely by the reverse stock split given the reduced number of shares that will be outstanding following the reverse stock split, especially if the market price of our Common Stock does not increase as a result of the reverse stock split. In addition, the reverse stock split may increase the number of shareholders who own odd lots (less than 100 shares) of our Common Stock, creating the potential for such shareholders to experience an increase in the cost of selling their shares and greater difficulty effecting such sales.

Following the reverse stock split, the resulting market price of our common stock may not attract new investors, including institutional investors, and may not satisfy the investing requirements of those investors. Consequently, the trading liquidity of our common stock may not improve.

Although we believe that a higher market price of our Common Stock may help generate greater or broader investor interest, there can be no assurance that the reverse stock split will result in a share price that will attract new investors, including institutional investors. In addition, there can be no assurance that the market price of our Common Stock will satisfy the investing requirements of those investors. As a result, the trading liquidity of our Common Stock may not necessarily improve.


USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate that our net proceeds from the sale of           shares of Units in this offering at the offering price of $      per share Unit will be approximately $8.5 million, after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts as well as estimated offering expenses payable by us. If the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full, we estimate that our net proceeds will be approximately $          .

We intend to use the net proceeds of this offering as follows: approximately 40% of the net proceeds (approximately $3.5 million) to repay the Term Loan B Note owed to Post Road whose proceeds were used to fund the Nexogy acquisition; approximately 20% of the net proceeds (approximately $1.5 million) to fund potential acquisitions although we do not have any agreements at this time to potentially acquire other entities; approximately 40% of the net proceeds (approximately $3.5 million) for working capital and other general corporate purposes; and one-time cash payments to officers of the Company in the approximate aggregate amount of $170,000 ($75,000 to be paid to Art Smith, our CEO, $60,000 to be paid to Antonio Estrada, our CFO, and $35,000 to be paid to Craig Clement, our Executive Chairman) upon the Company listing on a primary stock exchange, provided that each recipient of such cash payment may elect to receive Common Stock or apply such amount towards the exercise of vested stock options in lieu of the cash payment.

The Term Loan B Note bears interest for the period commencing on the Closing Date (November 17, 2020) through the date Term Loan B is paid in full in cash or same day funds at a rate equal to (A) LIBOR (with a set Interest Period), plus (B) 12.0% per annum, plus (C) (i) one and twenty five hundredths (1.25) times the original principal amount of the Term Loan B Note if repaid following June 30, 2021 and on or before September 30, 2021, or (ii) one and thirty hundredths (1.30) times the original principal amount of the Term Loan B Note if repaid following September 30, 2021 and on or before December 31, 2021.

A $           increase (decrease) in the public offering price of $           per Unit, would increase (decrease) the net proceeds of this offering by assuming that the number of Units offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. An increase (decrease) in the numner of Units offered by us by 250,000 Units would increase (decrease) the expected net proceeds of the offering to us by approximately $ ___ million assuming that the assumed public offering price per Unit remains as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus.

The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures will depend upon numerous factors, including the amount of proceeds actually raised in this offering and any cash generated by our operations. We, therefore, cannot predict the relative allocation of net proceeds that we receive in this offering and may allocate it differently than described above. As a result, management will have broad discretion over the deployment of the net proceeds from this offering.

(1)On an actual basis, based on 137,858,000 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of April 30, 2021 and excludes the following as of that date:

9,230,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options, with a weighted-average exercise price of $0.17 per share;
109,836,179 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants, with a weighted-average exercise price of $0.02 per share; and

DILUTION

If you invest in our shares in this offering, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per share of Common Stock that is part of the Unit and the as adjusted net tangible book value per share of Common Stock immediately after this offering.

Our historical net tangible book value as of April 30, 2021, was approximately ($28,254,000), or ($0.20) per share of Common Stock. Our historical net tangible book value is the amount of our total tangible assets less our liabilities. Historical net tangible book value per share of Common Stock is our historical net tangible book value divided by the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as of April 30, 2021. 

Our as adjusted net tangible book value as of April 30, 2021 was $           per share of Common Stock. As adjusted net tangible book value per share represents our total tangible assets less our total liabilities, divided by the number of outstanding Common Stock, after giving effect

to the issuance and sale of the Units by us in this offering at the public offering price of $          per Unit, after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and the estimated offering expenses payable by us.

After giving effect to this offering, at a public offering price of $           per Unit, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our net tangible book value on a as adjusted basis as of April 30, 2021, would have been $           per share of Common Stock. This amount represents an immediate increase in as adjusted net tangible book value of $           per share of Common Stock to our existing shareholders and an immediate dilution of $           per share of Common Stock to new investors purchasing Units in this offering. We determine dilution by subtracting the s adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering from the amount of cash that a new investor paid for a Unit.

The following table illustrates this dilution:

Public offering price per Unit $ 
Net tangible book value per Common Stock as of April 30, 2021 $(0.20)
Increase in as adjusted net tangible book value per share attributable to this offering   
As adjusted net tangible book value per share, after this offering   
Dilution per share to new investors in this offering $ 

A $           increase (decrease) in the public offering price of $           per Unit, would increase (decrease) the as adjusted net tangible book value per share by $           , and increase (decrease) dilution to new investors by $           per share, in each case assuming that the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

The foregoing discussion and table do not consider further dilution to new investors that could occur upon the exercise of outstanding warrants having a per share exercise or conversion price less than the per share offering price to the public in this offering.

If the underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase additional Units in this offering, the as adjusted net tangible book value after the offering would be $           per share, the increase in net tangible book value to existing shareholders would be $           per share, and the dilution to new investors would be $           per share, in each case at a public offering price of $           per share. 

The number of shares of Common Stock that will be outstanding after this offering is based on 137,858,000 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of April 30, 2021, and excludes the following as of that date:

9,230,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options, with a weighted-average exercise price of $0.17 per share;
109,836,179 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants, with a weighted-average exercise price of $0.02 per share; and
          shares issuable upon exercise of the Underwriter’s over-allotment option.


MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this prospectus. Certain statements in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” are forward-looking statements that are based on current expectations and involve various risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. We encourage you to review the information the “Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” sections in this prospectus.

Overview

Digerati Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (including our subsidiaries, “we,” “us,” “Company” or “Digerati”), through its operating subsidiaries in Texas and Florida, Shift8 Networks, Inc., d/b/a, T3 Communications, T3 Communications, Inc. and Nexogy, provides cloud services specializing in Unified Communications as a Service (“UCaaS”) solutions for the business market. Our product line includes a portfolio of Internet-based telephony products and services delivered through our cloud application platform and session-based communication network and network services including Internet broadband, fiber, mobile broadband, and cloud WAN solutions (SD WAN). Our services are designed to provide enterprise-class, carrier-grade services to the small-to-medium-sized business (“SMB”) at cost-effective monthly rates. Our UCaaS or cloud communication services include fully hosted IP/PBX, mobile applications, Voice over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) transport, SIP trunking, and customized VoIP services all delivered Only in the Cloud™.

As a provider of cloud communications solutions to the SMB, we are seeking to capitalize on the migration by businesses from the legacy telephone network to the Internet Protocol (“IP”) telecommunication network and the migration from hardware-based on-premise telephone systems to software-based communication systems in the cloud. Most SMBs are lagging in technical capabilities and advancement and seldom reach the economies of scale that their larger counterparts enjoy, due to their achievement of a critical mass and ability to deploy a single solution to a large number of workers. SMBs are typically unable to afford comprehensive enterprise solutions and, therefore, need to integrate a combination of business solutions to meet their needs. Cloud computing has revolutionized the industry and opened the door for businesses of all sizes to gain access to enterprise applications with affordable pricing. This especially holds true for cloud telephony applications, but SMBs are still a higher-touch sale that requires customer support for system integration, network installation, cabling, and troubleshooting. We have placed a significant emphasis on that “local” touch when selling, delivering, and supporting our services which we believe will differentiate us from the national providers that are experiencing high attrition rates due to poor customer support.

 

The adoption of cloud communication services is being driven by the convergence of several market trends, including the increasing costs of maintaining installed legacy communications systems, the fragmentation resulting from use of multiple on-premise systems, and the proliferation of personal smartphones used in the workplace. Today, businesses are increasingly looking for an affordable path to modernizing their communications system to improve productivity, business performance and customer experience.

 

Our cloud solutions offer the SMB reliable, robust, and full-featured services at affordable monthly rates that eliminates high-cost capital expenditures and provides for integration with other cloud-based systems.

 

Recent Activity

Acquisitions

On November 17, 2020, the Company closed on the acquisitions of Nexogy, Inc.

As a combined business, Nexogy, ActivePBX, and our operating subsidiary, T3 Communications, Inc., will serve over 2,600 business customers and approximately 28,000 users. The business model of the combined entities is supported by strong and predictable recurring revenue with high gross margins under contracts with business customers in various industries including banking, healthcare, financial services, legal, insurance, hotels, real estate, staffing, municipalities, food services, and education. The contribution from the acquisitions is expected to have an immediate and positive impact on the consolidated EBITDA of the Company with additional improvements to be realized during FY2021 from the anticipated cost synergies and consolidation savings.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Position: We had a consolidated cash balance of $2,125,000 as of April 30, 2021. Net cash consumed by operating activities during the nine months ended April 30, 2021 was approximately $403,000, primarily as a result of operating expenses, that included $558,000 in stock compensation and warrant expense, amortization of debt discount of $1,827,000, loss on derivative liability of $10,860,000, depreciation and amortization expense of $1,204,000, increase in accrued expense of $1,397,000, decrease in accounts receivable of $96,000 and decrease in deferred revenue of $105,000. Additionally, we had an increase of $97,000 in accounts payable, decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $141,000, increase in inventory of $26,000 and the recognition of a gain on settlement of debt of $347,000.

Cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended April 30, 2021 was $10,336,000, which included $228,000 for the purchase of equipment and the cash paid of $10,108,000, net of cash received, for the acquisitions of VoIP assets from Nexogy and ActivePBX.

Cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended April 30, 2021, was $12,179,000. The Company secured $1,078,000 from convertible notes, net of issuance costs and discounts. In addition, the Company secured $13,036,000 from two promissory notes, net of issuance costs. (See Note 6) The Company made principal payments of $1,330,000 on various notes, principal payments of $266,000 on convertible notes, principal payments of $316,000 on related party notes, and $53,000 in principal payments on equipment financing. Overall, our net operating, investing, and financing activities during the nine months ended April 30, 2021, contributed approximately $1,440,000 of our available cash.

Digerati’s consolidated financial statements for the nine months ending April 30, 2021, have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. Since the Company’s inception in 1993, Digerati has incurred net losses and accumulated a deficit of approximately $104,166,000 and a working capital deficit of approximately $22,924,000 which raises doubt about Digerati’s ability to continue as a going concern.

We are currently taking initiatives to reduce our overall cash deficiencies on a monthly basis. During fiscal 2021 certain members of our management team have taken a significant portion of their compensation in Common Stock to reduce the depletion of our available cash. To strengthen our business, we intend to adopt best practices from or recent acquisitions and invest in a marketing and sales strategy to grow our monthly recurring revenue; we anticipate utilizing our value-added resellers and channel partners to tap into new sources of revenue streams, we have also secured various agent agreements to accelerate revenue growth. In addition, we will continue to focus on selling a greater number of comprehensive services to our existing customer base. Further, in an effort to increase our revenues, we will continue to evaluate the acquisition of various assets with emphasis in VoIP Services and Cloud Communication Services. As a result, during the due diligence process we anticipate incurring significant legal and professional fees.


Management believes that available resources as of April 30, 2021, will not be sufficient to fund the Company’s operations, debt service and corporate expenses over the next 12 months. The Company’s ability to continue to meet its obligations and to achieve its business objectives is dependent upon, and other things, raising additional capital, issuing stock-based compensation to certain members of the executive management team in lieu of cash, or generating sufficient revenue in excess of costs. At such time as the Company requires additional funding, the Company will seek to secure such best-efforts funding from various possible sources, including equity or debt financing, sales of assets, or collaborative arrangements. If the Company raises additional capital through the issuance of equity securities or securities convertible into equity, stockholders will experience dilution, and such securities may have rights, preferences, or privileges senior to those of the holders of Common Stock or convertible senior notes. If the Company raises additional funds by issuing debt, the Company may be subject to limitations on its operations, through debt covenants or other restrictions. If the Company obtains additional funds through arrangements with collaborators or strategic partners, the Company may be required to relinquish its rights to certain technologies. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional funds or raise them on acceptable terms. If the Company is unable to obtain financing on acceptable terms, it may be unable to execute its business plan, the Company could be required to curtail its operations, and the Company may not be able to pay off its obligations, if and when they come due.

Our current cash expenses are expected to be approximately $750,000 per month, including wages, rent, utilities, corporate expenses, and legal professional fees associated with potential acquisitions. As described elsewhere herein, we are not generating sufficient cash from operations to pay for our corporate and ongoing operating expenses, or to pay our current liabilities. As of April 30, 2021, our total liabilities were approximately $32,430,000, which included $17,340,000 in derivative liabilities. We will continue to use our available cash on hand to cover our deficiencies in operating expenses.

We estimate that we need approximately $65,000 per month of additional working capital to fund our corporate expenses during Fiscal 2021.

We have been successful in raising debt capital and equity capital in the past and as described in Notes 6, 7, and 8 to our consolidated financial statements. We have financing efforts in place to continue to raise cash through debt and equity offerings. Although we have successfully completed financings and reduced expenses in the past, we cannot assure you that our plans to address these matters in the future will be successful.

Critical Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition. On August 1, 2018, we adopted Topic 606 using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of August 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after August 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606. There was no impact to the opening balance of accumulated deficit or revenues for the year ended July 31, 2019 as a result of applying Topic 606.

The Company recognizes cloud-based hosted services revenue, mainly from subscription services for its cloud telephony applications that includes hosted IP/PBX services, SIP trunking, call center applications, auto attendant, voice and web conferencing, call recording, messaging, voicemail to email conversion, integrated mobility applications that are device and location agnostic, and other customized applications. Other services include enterprise-class data and connectivity solutions through multiple broadband technologies including cloud WAN or SD-WAN (Software-defined Wide Area Network), fiber, and Ethernet over copper. We also offer remote network monitoring, data backup and disaster recovery services. The Company applies a five-step approach in determining the amount and timing of revenue to be recognized: (1) identifying the contract with a customer, (2) identifying the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (5) recognizing revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied. Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is recognized at the time control of the products transfers to the customer.

Service Revenue. Service revenue from subscriptions to the Company’s cloud-based technology platform is recognized over time on a ratable basis over the contractual subscription term beginning on the date that the platform is made available to the customer. Payments received in advance of subscription services being rendered are recorded as a deferred revenue. Usage fees, either bundled or not bundled, are recognized when the Company has a right to invoice. Professional services for configuration, system integration, optimization, customer training and/or education are primarily billed on a fixed-fee basis and are performed by the Company directly. Alternatively, customers may choose to perform these services themselves or engage their own third-party service providers. Professional services revenue is recognized over time, generally as services are activated for the customer.

Product Revenue. The Company recognizes product revenue for telephony equipment at a point in time, when transfer of control has occurred, which is generally upon delivery. Sales returns are recorded as a reduction to revenue estimated based on historical experience.

Total operating revenues $6,279  $6,040 

Contract Assets. Contract assets are recorded for those parts of the contract consideration not yet invoiced but for which the performance obligations are completed. The revenue is recognized when the customer receives services or equipment for a reduced consideration at the onset of an arrangement; for example, when the initial month’s services or equipment are discounted. Contract assets are included in prepaid and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets, depending on if their reduction is recognized during the succeeding 12-month period or beyond. Contract assets as of April 30, 2021, and July 31, 2020, were $13,260 and $5,980, respectively.

Deferred Income. Deferred income represents billings or payment received in advance of revenue recognition and is recognized upon transfer of control. Balances consist primarily of annual plan subscription services, for services not yet provided as of the balance sheet date. Deferred revenues that will be recognized during the succeeding 12-month period are recorded as current deferred revenues in the consolidated balance sheets, with the remainder recorded as other noncurrent liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Deferred income as of April 30, 2021, and July 31, 2020, were $43,000 and $148,000, respectively.

Customer Deposits. The Company in some instances requires customers to make deposits for equipment, installation charges and training. As equipment is installed and training takes places the deposits are then applied to revenue. As of April 30, 2021, and July 31, 2020, Digerati’s customer deposits balance was $131,000 and $131,000, respectively

Costs to Obtain a Customer Contract. Sales commissions are paid upon collections of related revenue and are expensed during the same period. Sales commissions for the nine months ended April 30, 2021, and April 30, 2020, were $576,476 and $51,953, respectively.

Direct Costs - Cloud software and service. We incur bandwidth and colocation charges in connection with our UCaaS or cloud communication services. The bandwidth charges are incurred as part of the connectivity between our customers to allow them access to our various services. We also incur costs from underlying providers for fiber, Internet broadband, and telecommunication circuits in connection with our data and connectivity solutions.

Goodwill, Intangible Assets, and Long-Lived Assets. Goodwill is carried at cost and is not amortized. The Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis at the end of each fiscal year, relying on a number of factors including operating results, business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows and marketplace data. Company management uses its judgment in assessing whether goodwill has become impaired between annual impairment tests according to specifications set forth in ASC 350. The Company completed an evaluation of goodwill at July 31, 2020 and 2019 and determined that there was no impairment.


The fair value of the Company’s reporting unit is dependent upon the Company’s estimate of future cash flows and other factors. The Company’s estimates of future cash flows include assumptions concerning future operating performance and economic conditions and may differ from actual future cash flows. Estimated future cash flows are adjusted by an appropriate discount rate derived from the Company’s market capitalization plus a suitable control premium at date of the evaluation.

The financial and credit market volatility directly impacts the Company’s fair value measurement through the Company’s weighted average cost of capital that the Company uses to determine its discount rate and through the Company’s stock price that the Company uses to determine its market capitalization. Therefore, changes in the stock price may also affect the amount of impairment recorded.

The Company recognizes an acquired intangible asset apart from goodwill whenever the intangible asset arises from contractual or other legal rights, or when it can be separated or divided from the acquired entity and sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged, either individually or in combination with a related contract, asset or liability. Such intangibles are amortized over their useful lives. Impairment losses are recognized if the carrying amount of an intangible asset subject to amortization is not recoverable from expected future cash flows and its carrying amount exceeds its fair value.

The Company reviews its long-lived assets, including property and equipment, identifiable intangibles, and goodwill annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. To determine recoverability of its long-lived assets, the Company evaluates the probability that future undiscounted net cash flows will be less than the carrying amount of the assets.

Business combinations. Each investment in a business is being measured and determined whether the investment should be accounted for as a cost-basis investment, an equity investment, a business combination, or a common control transaction. An investment in which the Company do not have a controlling interest and which the Company is not the primary beneficiary but where the Company has the ability to exert significant influence is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. For those investments that we account for in accordance ASC 805, Business Combinations, the Company records the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the management’s estimate of their fair values on the date of the business combination. The assessment of the estimated fair value of each of these can have a material effect on the reported results as intangible assets are amortized over various lives. Furthermore, according to ASC 805-50-30-5, when accounting for a transfer of assets or exchange of shares between entities under common control, the entity that receives the net assets or the equity interests shall initially measure the recognized assets and liabilities transferred at their carrying amounts in the accounts of the transferring entity at the date of transfer.

Stock-based compensation. In June 2018 FASB adopted the Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Non-employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This update simplifies the accounting for non-employee share-based payment transactions by expanding the scope of Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from non-employees. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within that reporting period. The Company adopted the updated standard as of May 1, 2018, adopting this guidance did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. During FY 2020 and 2019, the Company issued 21,811,100 common shares and 1,827,927 common shares, respectively to various employees as part of our profit sharing-plan contribution and stock in lieu of cash. At the time of issuance during FY 2020 and 2019 we recognized stock-based compensation expense of approximately $1,127,000 and $1,044,000, respectively equivalent to the market value of the shares issued calculated based on the share’s closing price at the grant dates.

Derivative financial instruments. Digerati does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. However, Digerati analyzes its convertible instruments and free-standing instruments such as warrants for derivative liability accounting.

For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date. Any changes in fair value is recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense for each reporting period. For derivative notes payable conversion options Digerati uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value the derivative instruments.

The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument is probable within the next 12 months from the balance sheet date.


Treasury Shares. As a result of entering into various convertible debt instruments which contained a variable conversion feature with no floor, warrants with fixed exercise price, and convertible notes with fixed conversion price or with a conversion price floor, we reserved 25,000,000 treasury shares for consideration for future conversions and exercise of warrants, for convertible notes with fixed conversion price, notes with variable conversion feature with a floor and warrants with a conversion price floor. The Company will evaluate the reserved treasury shares on a quarterly basis, and if necessary, reserve additional treasury shares. As of April 30, 2021, we believe that the treasury share reserved are sufficient for any future conversions of these instruments. As a result, these debt instruments and warrants are excluded from derivative consideration.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. A fair value hierarchy is used which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The fair value hierarchy based on the three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.

For certain of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of our long-term debt approximates its fair value based on the quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or the current rates offered to us for debt of the same remaining maturities.

Our derivative liabilities as of April 30, 2021, and July 31, 2020, of $17,339,843 and $606,123, respectively.

The following table as of July 31, 2020 and April 30, 2021 provides the fair value of the derivative financial instruments measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs:

BUSINESS

Overview

Digerati Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (including our subsidiaries, “we,” “us,” “Company” or “Digerati”), through its operating subsidiaries in Texas and Florida, Shift8 Networks, Inc., dba, T3 Communications (“T3”) and T3 Communications, Inc. (“T3”), respectively, provides cloud services specializing in Unified Communications as a Service (“UCaaS”) solutions for the business market. Our product line includes a portfolio of Internet-based telephony products and services delivered through our cloud application platform and session-based communication network and network services including Internet broadband, fiber, mobile broadband, and cloud WAN solutions (SD WAN). Our services are designed to provide enterprise-class, carrier-grade services to the small-to-medium-sized business (“SMB”) at cost-effective monthly rates. Our UCaaS or cloud communication services include fully hosted IP/PBX, mobile applications, Voice over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) transport, SIP trunking, and customized VoIP services all delivered Only in the Cloud™.

As a provider of cloud communications solutions to the SMB, we are seeking to capitalize on the migration by businesses from the legacy telephone network to the Internet Protocol (“IP”) telecommunication network and the migration from hardware-based on-premise telephone systems to software-based communication systems in the cloud. Most SMBs are lagging in technical capabilities and advancement and seldom reach the economies of scale that their larger counterparts enjoy, due to their achievement of a critical mass and ability to deploy a single solution to a large number of workers. SMBs are typically unable to afford comprehensive enterprise solutions and, therefore, need to integrate a combination of business solutions to meet their needs. Cloud computing has revolutionized the industry and opened the door for businesses of all sizes to gain access to enterprise applications with affordable pricing. This especially holds true for cloud telephony applications, but SMBs are still a higher-touch sale that requires customer support for system integration, network installation, cabling, and troubleshooting. We have placed a significant emphasis on that “local” touch when selling, delivering, and supporting our services which we believe will differentiate us from the national providers that are experiencing high attrition rates due to a poor customer support.

The adoption of cloud communication services is being driven by the convergence of several market trends, including the increasing costs of maintaining installed legacy communications systems, the fragmentation resulting from use of multiple on-premise systems, and the proliferation of personal smartphones used in the workplace. Today, businesses are increasingly looking for an affordable path to modernizing their communications system to improve productivity, business performance and customer experience. Most recently, the COVID-19 Pandemic has increased demand for communication systems that support remote working environments.

Our cloud solutions offer the SMB reliable, robust, and full-featured services at affordable monthly rates that eliminates high-cost capital expenditures and provides for integration with other cloud-based systems.

Recent Developments

Nexogy Merger

On November 17, 2020, T3 Nevada’s wholly owned subsidiary, Nexogy Acquisition, Inc., merged with and into Nexogy, Inc. (“Nexogy”) resulting in Nexogy becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of T3 Nevada (the “Merger”). Nexogy is a leading provider in South Florida of Unified Communications as a Service and managed services, offering a portfolio of cloud-based solutions to the high-growth SMB market.

The purchase price for Nexogy was $9 million in cash, plus an additional $452,000 in initial excess net working capital. In addition, the Company anticipates adjusting the initial networking capital by approximately $179,000 to reflect additional asset value and other liabilities identified. Of the $9 million, $900,000 was placed in an indemnity escrow account and $50,000 of the $9 million was placed in a working capital escrow account. In addition, at the closing of the Merger, T3 Nevada paid a number of Nexogy’s liabilities which were included in the $9 million purchase price.


ActivePBX Asset Purchase

On November 17, 2020, our indirect, wholly owned subsidiary, T3 Communications, Inc., a Florida corporation (“T3 Florida”), executed and closed on an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with ActiveServe, Inc., a Florida corporation (“Seller”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, T3 Florida acquired the customer base, certain equipment, certain intellectual property, inventory, contract rights, software and other licenses and miscellaneous assets used in connection with the operation of Seller’s telecommunications business known as ActivePBX (collectively, the “Purchased Assets”).

The aggregate purchase price for the Purchased Assets was $2,555,000 in cash, subject to adjustment as provided therein (the “Purchase Price”). $1,190,000 of the Purchase Price was payable at closing, with $50,000 of such amount being withheld by T3 Florida for a period of 12 months to cover part of potential future indemnification obligations of Seller to T3 Florida due to Seller’s breaches, if any, of any representations and warranties made to T3 Florida by Seller under the Purchase Agreement, and $40,000 of such amount being credited to T3 Florida against a payment in that amount made by T3 Florida to Seller pursuant to the Second Amendment to Letter of Intent between Seller and T3 Florida dated as of October 15, 2020.

Part of the Purchase Price is payable in 8 equal quarterly payments of $136,250, subject to T3 Florida achieving quarterly post-purchase recurring revenues under monthly contracts or subscriptions from the acquired customer base, excluding charges for taxes, regulatory fees, additional set-up fees, equipment purchases or lease, and consulting fees. To the extent that a quarterly revenue threshold is not reached, the amount of the corresponding quarterly payment shall be reduced on a proportional basis. T3 Florida’s $1,190,000 payment obligation is represented by a promissory note of T3 Florida in the form included as an exhibit to the Purchase Agreement. The note, in turn, is subject to the Subordination Agreement, included as an Exhibit to the Purchase Agreement, among Seller, the Company’s parent, T3 Nevada, and Post Road Administrative, LLC, in its capacity as administrative agent for the Post Road lenders. $275,000 of the Purchase Price (the “Customer Renewal Value”) represents an incentive earn-out to be paid with respect to Seller’s customer accounts which are transferred to T3 Florida at closing, that are renewed, expanded and/or revised with T3 Florida for a minimum term of twelve months with an auto-renewal for 12 months.

In connection with the Purchase Agreement, we entered into Consulting Agreements and a Non-Compete Agreement with each of Alex Gonzalez and Jose Gonzalez, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Technology Officer of Seller.

Credit Agreement and Notes

On November 17, 2020, T3 Communications, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“T3 Nevada”), a majority owned subsidiary of Digerati Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) and the Company’s other subsidiaries entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Post Road Administrative LLC and its affiliate Post Road Special Opportunity Fund II LLP (collectively, “Post Road”). The Company is a party to certain sections of the Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, Post Road will provide T3 Nevada with a secured loan of up to $20,000,000 (the “Loan”), with initial loans of $10,500,000 pursuant to the issuance of a Term Loan A Note and $3,500,000 pursuant to the issuance of a Term Loan B Note, each funded on November 17, 2020, and an additional $6,000,000 on loans, in increments of $1,000,000 as requested by T3 Nevada before the 18 month anniversary of the initial funding date to be lent pursuant to the issuance of a Delayed Draw Term Note.

The Term Loan A and Delayed Draw Term Notes have maturity dates of November 17, 2024 and an interest rate of LIBOR (with a minimum rate of 1.5%) plus twelve percent (12%). Term Loan A is non-amortized (interest only payments) through the maturity date and contains an option for the Company to pay interest in kind (PIK) for up to five percent (5%) of the interest rate in year one, four percent (4%) in year two and three percent (3%) in year three.

Term Loan B has a maturity date of December 31, 2021 and an interest rate of LIBOR (with a minimum rate of 1.5%) plus twelve percent (12%). Term Loan B is non-amortized (interest only payments) through the maturity date and contains an option for the Company to pay interest in kind (PIK) for up to five percent (5%) of the interest rate in year one, four percent (4%) in year two and three percent (3%) in year three.

Permitted use of proceeds for the initial $14,000,000 of the Loan included approximately $9.452 million for the purchase price for the merger of Nexogy with and into an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company described above, $1.190 million for the purchase price and transaction fees of certain assets of ActiveServe, Inc. described above, $1.487 million for the payment in full of outstanding debts owed and accrued interest to three creditors, including the secured creditor Thermo Communication, Inc., the payment of approximately $464,000 paid to Post Road, and recognized as deferred financing cost, and will be amortized over the terms of the notes. In addition, the Company expensed $430,000 in legal fees associated to the acquisitions and financing.


The Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and indemnification provisions. The Credit Agreement also contains affirmative and negative covenants with respect to operation of the business and properties of the loan parties as well as financial performance.

T3 Nevada’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a first-priority security interest in all of the assets of T3 Nevada and guaranteed by the other subsidiaries of the Company pursuant to the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement, dated November 17, 2020, by and among T3 Nevada, the Company’s other subsidiaries, and Post Road Administrative LLC (the “Guaranty and Collateral Agreement”). In addition, T3 Nevada’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are, pursuant to a Pledge Agreement (the “Pledge Agreement”), secured by a pledge of a first priority security interest in T3 Nevada’s 100% equity ownership of each of T3 Nevada’s operating companies.

Warrant

In connection with the Credit Agreement, on November 17, 2020, the Company issued a Warrant to Post Road Special Opportunity Fund II LP (the “Warrant”) to purchase, initially, twenty-five percent (25%) of the Company’s total shares (the “Warrant”), calculated on a fully diluted basis as of the date of issuance (the “Warrant Shares”) and subject to a reduction to fifteen percent (15%) as described below.

The number of Warrant Shares is adjustable to allow the holder to maintain, subject to certain share issuances that are exceptions, the right to purchase twenty-five percent (25%) of the Company’s total shares, calculated on a fully diluted basis. The Warrant has an exercise price of $0.01 per share and the Warrant expires on November 17, 2030. Seventy-five percent (75%) of the Warrant Shares are immediately fully vested and not subject to forfeiture at any time for any reason. The remaining twenty-five percent (25%) of the Warrant Shares are subject to forfeiture based on the Company achieving certain performance targets which, if achieved, would result in twenty percent (20%) warrant coverage. If the minority shareholders of T3 Nevada convert their T3 Nevada shares into shares of the Common Stock, the Warrant Shares percentage shall also be lowered such that when combined with the achievement of the performance targets, the warrant coverage could be reduced to fifteen percent (15%).

In connection with the issuance of the Warrant, the three executives of the Company, Art Smith, Antonio Estrada, and Craig Clement entered into a Tag-Along Agreement (the “Tag-Along Agreement”) whereby they agreed that the holder of the Warrant or Warrant Share will have the right to participate or “tag-along” in any agreements to sell any shares of their Common Stock that such executives enter into. The Company also agreed, in connection with the issuance of the Warrant and pursuant to a Board Observer Agreement (the “Board Observer Agreement”), to grant Post Road the right to appoint a representative to each of the boards of directors of the Company and each of its subsidiaries, to attend all board meeting in a non-voting observer capacity.

The addition of these new products and services allows us to increase our value-proposition through product bundles that go beyond the voice application and to serve as a one-stop-shop for business customers seeking a comprehensive voice and data solution.

 


Voice over Internet Protocol Networks

 

The basic technology of traditional telecommunications systems was designed for slow mechanical switches. Communications over the traditional telephone network are routed through circuits that must dedicate all circuit resources to each call from its inception until the call ends, regardless of whether anyone is actually talking on the circuit. This circuit-switching technology incurs a significant cost per call and does not efficiently support the integration of voice with data services. Data networks, however, were designed for electronic switching. They break the data stream into small, individually addressed packages of data (“packets”) that are routed independently of each other from the origin to the destination. Therefore, they do not require a fixed amount of bandwidth to be reserved between the origin and destination of each call and they do not waste bandwidth when it is not being used for actual transmission of information. This allows multiple voice or voice and data calls to be pooled, resulting in these networks being able to carry more calls with an equal amount of bandwidth. Moreover, they do not require the same complex switching methods required by traditional voice telephone networks, instead using a multiplicity of routers to direct each packet to its destination and automatically routing packets around blockages, congestion or outages.

 

Packet switching can be used within a data network or across networks, including the public Internet. The Internet itself is not a single data network owned by any single entity, but rather a loose interconnection of networks belonging to many owners that communicate using the Internet Protocol. By converting voice signals to digital data and handling the voice signals as data, it can be transmitted through the more efficient switching networks designed for data transmissions and through the Internet using the Internet Protocol. The transmission of voice signals as digitalized data streams over the Internet is known as Voice over Internet Protocol or “VoIP”.VoIP. A VoIP network has the following advantages over traditional networks:

 

Simplification:An integrated infrastructure that supports all forms of communication allows more standardization, a smaller equipment complement, and less equipment management.

 

Network Efficiency:The integration of voice and data fills up the data communication channels efficiently, thus providing bandwidth consolidation and reduction of the costs associated with idle bandwidth. This combined infrastructure can support dynamic bandwidth optimization and a fault tolerant design. The differences between the traffic patterns of voice and data offer further opportunities for significant efficiency improvements.

 

Co-existence with traditional communication mediums:IP telephony can be used in conjunction with existing public telephone system switches, leased and dial-up lines, PBXs and other customer premise equipment, enterprise LANs, and Internet connections. IP telephony applications can be implemented through dedicated gateways, which in turn can be based on open standards platforms for reliability and scalability.

 

Cost reduction:Under the VoIP network, the connection is directly to the Internet backbone and as a result the telephony access charges, and settlement fees are avoided.

 

The growth of voice over the Internet was limited in the past due to poor sound quality caused by technical issues such as delays in packet transmission and by bandwidth limitations related to Internet network capacity and local access constraints. However, the expansion of Internet Protocol network infrastructure, improvements in packet switching and compression technology, new software algorithms and improved hardware have substantially reduced delays in packet transmissions and resulted in superior sound quality to that of the legacy telephone network. The continued improvement and expansion of the Internet Protocol network has resulted in the use of this technology for other communication media, including video conferencing and instant messaging.

Cloud Communications

 

Cloud communications are Internet-based voice and data communications where telecommunications applications, switching and storage are hosted by a third-party service provider outside of the organization using the services. Services are accessed by the user over the public Internet. Cloud telephony refers specifically to voice services and more specifically the replacement of conventional business telephone equipment (such as a PBX) with VoIP service hosted by a third-party service provider and delivered over the Internet.

 


We operate a cloud communication network that consists of a VoIP switching system and cloud telephony application platform. Our network allows us to provide end-to-end cloud telephony solutions designed to provide significant benefits to businesses of all sizes, with single or multiple locations. The integration of our cloud communication platform and global VoIP network allows us to provide our customers with virtually any type of telephony solution on a global basis.

 

Our cloud communication solutions, also known as UCaaS, are designed to minimize upfront capital costs, increase the scalability and flexibility of the customer’s communications network and service environment, provide robust features and functionality to increase productivity and reduce the overall cost of communications.

 

Strategy

 

Our strategy is to target the small to medium-sized business market and capitalize on the wave of migration from the legacy telephone network to cloud telephony. We will continue to concentrate our sales and marketing efforts on developing vertically oriented solutions for targeted markets primarily focusing on municipalities, banking, healthcare, legal services, and real estate. In addition, we will continue to partner with our distributors and Value-Added Resellers (“VARs”) to expand our customer base. Our typical VAR, also referred to as a Partner, is an information technology services firm, traditional PBX vendor, managed service provider, or systems integrator that has established relationships with businesses in its local market. These VARs are currently providing local customer support for other IT or PBX services but lack the technology infrastructure to provide cloud communication and VoIP services to their customers. Our strategy allows these VARs to focus on their strength of providing first tier support to their customers while we provide the second and third tier technical support required to operate a cloud communication and VoIP network. In addition, we transform our VARs’ business model by introducing new cloud telephony services and adding a new and lucrative recurring revenue stream that increases the VARs’ value proposition for its current and prospective customers.

 

Our cloud-based technology platform enables us and our VARs to deliver enhanced voice services to their business customers. The features supported on our cloud communication platform include all standard telephone features and value-added applications such as voicemail to email, VoIP peering, teleconferencing, IVR auto attendant, and dial-by-name directory. Our system provides our customers and VARs with a migration path from a traditional PBX system to a complete cloud-based PBX solution.

 

Our strategic initiatives to successfully meet our long-term business objectives include:

 

 A disciplined approach to evaluating additional acquisitions as we build on the foundation created by our most recent acquisitions in Texas and Florida.Florida in FY2018. We will continue to target local and/or regional UCaaS/cloud telephony providers which have excelled in their market with that “local” touch when serving their business customers. We believe the experience gained in integrating products, personnel, and customers will facilitate continued growth via acquisition.

 

 A continued emphasis on our UCaaS/cloud communication business which operates in a segment of the telecommunication industry that continues to experience significant growth as businesses migrate from legacy phone systems to cloud-based telephony systems.

3

 

 Enhancements to our broadband product portfolio with an emphasis on marketing leading-edge network and business continuity solutions like cloud WAN, also known as SD-WAN (Software Defined Wide-Area Network), to our customers which we anticipate will increase average revenue per customer.

 

 Implementing a total support model (pre and post sales) for building a world-class service delivery and help desk organization.

 

 Emphasis on our sales distribution model that enables our VARs to offer cloud and session-based communication services to the enterprise market in various regions and industries.

 

 Continue enhancing our infrastructure and back office system to streamline operations, automate key processes, and support the scalability of our VAR distribution model.

 


Competitive Conditions

 

The cloud services industry, including the provisioning of cloud communications services, cloud connectivity, cloud storage and cloud computing, as well as carrier voice and data services, is highly competitive, rapidly evolving and subject to constant technological change and intense marketing by providers with similar products and services. We expect that new, smaller, but very agile competitors, specializing in providing service to regional and emerging markets at low margin and hence low cost, may have an impact on our market. Similarly, the business services market includes competitors who may be significantly larger and have substantially greater market presence, financial, technical, operational and marketing resources than we do, including Tier 1 carriers, cable companies and premise-based solutions providers that are implementing cloud communication services. In the event that such a competitor expends significant sales and marketing resources in one or several markets where we compete with them, we may not be able to compete successfully in those markets. Specialized cloud services providers, who focus on one or more cloud service or application, could adopt aggressive pricing and promotion practices that could impact our ability to compete. We also believe that competition will continue to increase, placing downward pressure on prices. Such pressure could adversely affect our gross margins if we are not able to reduce our costs commensurate with the price reductions of our competitors. In addition, the pace of technological change makes it impossible for us to predict whether we will face new competitors using different technologies to provide the same or similar services offered or proposed to be offered by us. If our competitors were to provide better and more cost-effective services than ours, we may not be able to increase our revenues or capture any significant market share.

 

The VoIP and Internet telephony market are highly competitive. Our competitors include major telecommunications carriers in the U.S., national UCaaS providers, and numerous small cloud telephony operators. We expect to face continuing competition based on price and service offerings from existing competitors and new market entrants in the future. The principal competitive factors in our market include price, coverage, customer service, technical response times, reliability, and network size/capacity. The competitive landscape is rapidly altering the number, identity, and competitiveness of the marketplace, and we are unable to determine with certainty the impact of potential consolidation in our industry.

 

Many of our competitors have substantially greater financial, technical, and marketing resources, larger customer bases, longer operating histories, greater name recognition and more established relationships in the industry than we have. As a result, certain of these competitors may be able to adopt more aggressive pricing policies that could hinder our ability to market our services. We believe that our key competitive advantages are our ability to deliver reliable, high quality voice service over the Internet in a cost-effective manner, superior customers service and our VAR distribution model. We cannot provide assurances, however, that these advantages will enable us to succeed against comparable service offerings from our competitors.

RISK FACTORS

 

VoIPAny investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the risks described below, together with all of the other information contained in this prospectus, before you decide whether to purchase our securities. If any of these actually occur, our business, financial condition or operating results could be adversely affected. The risks described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks not currently known to us or that we currently do not deem material also may become important factors that may materially and other communications services, like ours,adversely affect our business. The trading price of our securities could decline due to any of these described or additional risks and you could lose part or all of your investment.

Risks Related to Our Business

WE HAVE A HISTORY OF OPERATING LOSSES, ANTICIPATE FUTURE LOSSES, AND MAY NEVER BE PROFITABLE.

We have experienced significant operating losses in our Company’s recent history. Our ability to achieve annual profitability in the future depends on a number of factors, including our ability to attract and service customers on a profitable basis and the growth of the UCaaS (Unified Communications as a Service) sector of our industry. If we are unable to achieve annual profitability, we may not be able to execute our business plan, our prospects may be harmed, and our stock price could be materially and adversely affected.

WE HAVE AN ACCUMULATED DEFICIT AND WE ANTICIPATE CONTINUING LOSSES THAT WILL RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT LIQUIDITY AND CASH FLOW PROBLEMS AND WE MAY BE FORCED TO CEASE OPERATIONS.

We have incurred losses since our inception and have an accumulated deficit of approximately $104,166,000 as of April 30, 2021. Our operations have been subjectfinanced primarily through the issuance of equity and debt. For the year ended July 31, 2020, our net loss was $3,424,000. For the nine months ended April 30, 2021, net loss including noncontrolling interest and cash used in operating activities were $15,692,000 and $403,000, respectively. We are constantly evaluating our cash needs and our burn rate, in order to less regulation at the statemake appropriate adjustments in operating expenses. We anticipate that our cash used in operations will continue to increase as a result of being a public company due to increased professional fees. Our continued existence is dependent upon, among other things, our ability to raise capital and federal levels than traditional telecommunications services. Providers of traditional telecommunicationsto market and sell our products and services successfully. While we are subjectattempting to the highest degree of regulation, while providers of VoIP and other information services are largely exempt from most federal and state regulations governing traditional common carriers. The FCC has subjected VoIP service providers to a smaller subset of regulations that apply to traditional telecommunications service providers andincrease sales, growth has not yet classified VoIP servicesbeen significant enough to support daily operations, there is no assurance that we will continue as either telecommunicationsa going concern. If we are unable to continue as a going concern and were forced to cease operations, it is likely that our stockholders would lose their entire investment in our company.

OUR AUDITORS HAVE EXPRESSED DOUBTS ABOUT OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN. IF WE WERE FORCED TO CEASE OUR BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS, YOU WOULD LOSE YOUR INVESTMENT IN OUR COMPANY.

Our revenues are not sufficient to enable us to meet our operating expenses and otherwise implement our business plan. The report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our financial statements for the year ended July 31, 2020 contains an explanatory paragraph raising doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern as a result of our losses from operations, stockholders’ deficit, and negative working capital. Our consolidated financial statements, which appear elsewhere in this prospectus, are prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect future adverse effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or information. amounts and classification of liabilities that may result if we are not successful.


THE MARKETS IN WHICH WE COMPETE ARE HIGHLY COMPETITIVE.

The FCC is currently examining the status of VoIP service providers and the services they provide in multiple open proceedings. In addition, many state regulatory agencies impose taxes and other surcharges on VoIPcloud services and certain states take the position that offeringsinternet-based telephony products and services markets in which we primarily compete are highly competitive and are influenced by VoIP providers are intrastate telecommunications servicescompetitive factors including:

our ability to rapidly develop and introduce new high performance integrated solutions;
the price and total cost of ownership and return on investment associated with the solutions;
the simplicity of deployment and use of the solutions;
the reliability and scalability of the solutions;
the market awareness of a particular brand;
our ability to provide secure access to data networks;
our ability to offer a suite of products and solutions;
our ability to allow centralized management of the solutions; and
our ability to provide quality product support.

New entrants seeking to gain market share by introducing new technology and therefore subjectnew products may also make it more difficult for us to state regulation. These states argue that if the beginningsell our products and end points of communications are known,could create increased pricing pressure.

We expect competition to continuously intensify as other established and if some of these communications occur entirely within the boundaries of a state, the state can regulate that offering. We believe that the FCC has preempted states from regulating VoIP offeringsnew companies introduce new products in the same mannermarkets that we serve or intend to enter, as providersthese markets consolidate. Our business will suffer if we do not maintain our competitiveness.

A number of traditional telecommunications services. However,our current or potential competitors have longer operating histories, greater brand recognition, larger customer bases, and significantly greater resources than we do.

As we move into new markets for different types of products, our brand may not be as well-known as incumbents in those markets. Potential customers may prefer to purchase from their existing suppliers or well-known brands rather than a new supplier, regardless of product performance or features. We expect increased competition from other established and emerging companies as our markets continue to develop and expand. As we enter new markets, we expect to face competition from incumbent and new market participants and there is no assurance that our entry into new markets will be successful.

MANY OF THE COMPANIES AGAINST WHICH WE COMPETE HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY GREATER FINANCIAL, TECHNICAL, MARKETING, DISTRIBUTION AND OTHER RESOURCES THAN WE DO AND ARE BETTER POSITIONED TO ACQUIRE AND OFFER COMPLEMENTARY PRODUCTS AND TECHNOLOGIES.

Industry consolidation, acquisitions and other arrangements among competitors may adversely affect our competitiveness because it may be more difficult to compete with entities that have access to their combined resources. As a result of such consolidation, acquisition or other arrangements, our current and potential competitors might be able to adapt more quickly to new technologies and consumer preference, devote greater resources to the marketing and promotion of their products, initiate or withstand price competition, and take advantage of acquisitions or other opportunities more readily and develop and expand their products more quickly than we do. These combinations may also affect customers’ perceptions regarding the viability of companies our size and, consequently, affect their willingness to purchase our products.


THE COMPLEXITY OF OUR PRODUCTS COULD RESULT IN UNFORESEEN DELAYS OR EXPENSES CAUSED BY UNDETECTED DEFECTS OR BUGS.

Our products may contain defects and bugs when they are introduced, or as new versions are released. We have focused, and intend to focus in the future, on getting our new products to market quickly. Due to our rapid product introductions, defects and bugs that may be contained in our products may not yet have manifested. We have in the past experienced, and may in the future experience, defects and bugs. If any of our products contain material defects or bugs, or has reliability, quality, or compatibility problems, we may not be able to correct these problems promptly or successfully. The existence of defects or bugs in our products may damage our reputation and disrupt our sales. If any of these problems are not found until after we have commenced commercial production and distribution of a new product, we may be required to incur additional development costs from our technology provider, repair or replacement costs, and other costs relating to regulatory proceedings, product recalls and litigation, which could harm our reputation and operating results. Undetected defects or bugs may lead to negative online Internet reviews of our products, which are increasingly becoming a significant factor in the success of our new product launches, especially for our consumer products. If we are unable to quickly respond to negative reviews, including end user reviews posted on various prominent online retailers, our ability to sell these products will be harmed. Moreover, we may offer stock rotation rights to our distributors. If we experience greater returns from retailers or end customers, or greater warranty claims, in excess of our reserves, our business, revenue and operating results could be harmed.

SECURITY VULNERABILITIES IN OUR PRODUCTS, SERVICES AND SYSTEMS COULD LEAD TO REDUCED REVENUES AND CLAIMS AGAINST US.

The quality and performance of some of our products and services may depend upon their ability to withstand cyber attacks. Third parties may develop and deploy viruses, worms, and other malicious software programs, some of which may be designed to attack our products, systems, or networks. Some of our products and services also involve the storage and transmission of users’ and customers’ proprietary information which may be the target of cyber attacks. Hardware and software that we produce or procure from third parties also may contain defects in manufacture or design, including bugs and other problems, which could compromise their ability to withstand cyber attacks.

The costs to us to eliminate or alleviate security vulnerabilities can be significant, and our efforts to address these problems may not be successful and could result in interruptions, delays, cessation of service and loss of existing or potential customers that may impede our sales, manufacturing, distribution, or other critical functions, as well as potential liability to the company. The risk that these types of events could seriously harm our business is likely to increase as we expand the web-based products and services that we offer.

WE WILL NEED ADDITIONAL FINANCING WHICH WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO OBTAIN ON ACCEPTABLE TERMS IF AT ALL. DUE TO THE SIZE OF OUR COMPANY AND THE LACK OF A PUBLIC MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK IT IS LIKELY THAT THE TERMS OF ANY FINANCING WE MAY BE ABLE TO SECURE WILL BE DETRIMENTAL TO OUR CURRENT STOCKHOLDERS.

Our current operations are not sufficient to fund our operating expenses and we will need to raise additional working capital to continue our current business and to provide funds for marketing to support our efforts to increase our revenues. Generally, small businesses such as ours which lack a robust public market for their securities, face significant difficulties in their efforts to raise equity capital. While to date we have relied upon the relationships of our executive officers in our capital raising efforts, there are no assurances that we will be successful utilizing these existing sources. We have engaged the Representative to assist us in our capital raising efforts via this issue hasoffering. There are no assurances that the terms of this offering will be as favorable as those we have offered our investors to date. While we do not been resolved definitivelyhave any commitments to provide additional capital, if we are able to raise capital, the structure of that capital raise could impact our company and our stockholders in a variety of ways. If we raise additional capital through the issuance of debt, this will result in interest expense. In addition, the Term Loan Notes we’ve issued to Post Road requires us to obtain Post Road’s consent prior to closing this offering.

If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our company held by existing stockholders will be reduced and those stockholders may experience significant dilution. In addition, new securities may contain certain rights, preferences or privileges that are senior to those of our Common Stock. We cannot assure you that we will be able to raise the working capital as a matter of law,needed in the future on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If we do not raise funds as needed, we may not be able to continue our operations and it remains possibleis likely that you would lose your entire investment in our company.


WE MAY NEED TO RAISE CAPITAL OVER THE NEXT TWELVE MONTHS TO FUND OUR OPERATIONS.

We do not have any additional commitments to provide capital and we cannot assure you that funds are available to us upon terms acceptable to us, if at all. If we do not raise funds as needed, our ability to provide for current working capital needs and satisfy our obligations is in jeopardy. In this event, you could lose all of your investment in our company.

WE DEPEND ON OUR KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL AND THE LOSS OF THEIR SERVICES COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS.

We place substantial reliance upon the FCCefforts and abilities of our executive officers Arthur L. Smith, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and Antonio Estrada Jr., our Chief Financial Officer. The loss of the services of any of our executive officers could determine that such services are not information services, or that there could behave a judicial or legislative determination that the states are not preempted from regulating VoIP services as traditional telecommunications services. We cannot predict how or when these issues will be resolved or its potential future impactmaterial adverse effect on our business, at this time.operations, revenues, or prospects. We maintain a $4 million key man life insurance policy with regard to Mr. Smith but do not have such a policy with regard to Mr. Estrada.

 

MANAGEMENT EXERCISES SIGNIFICANT CONTROL OVER MATTERS REQUIRING SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL WHICH MAY RESULT IN THE DELAY OR PREVENTION OF A CHANGE IN OUR CONTROL.

4

 

TheArthur L. Smith, our President and Chief Executive Officer, Antonio Estrada Jr., our Chief Financial Officer and Craig K. Clement, Chairman of the Board, have voting power equal to approximately 60% of our voting securities with the inclusion of our Series F Super Voting Preferred Stock which is only held by Messrs. Smith, Estrada, and Clement. As a result, management through such stock ownership rights has the ability to exercise significant control over all matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership in management may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of us that may be otherwise viewed as beneficial by shareholders other than management.

OUR REVENUES, OPERATING MARGINS, CASH FLOWS AND OTHER OPERATING RESULTS COULD VARY SIGNIFICANTLY FROM PERIOD TO PERIOD AS A RESULT OF VARIOUS FACTORS, MANY OF WHICH ARE OUTSIDE OF OUR CONTROL.

Our revenues, operating margins, cash flows and other operating results could vary significantly from period to period as a result of various factors, many of which are outside of our control. Our customers also have the choice of entering into agreements for term licenses and agreements for our cloud services.

WE EMPLOY MULTIPLE AND EVOLVING PRICING MODELS FOR OUR OFFERINGS.

We offer a subscription model for cloud services. We offer our services in a variety of packages for each of our product lines that includes UCaaS, SD WAN, and broadband solutions. Each of these product lines have different payment schedules, and depending on the mix of such licenses and cloud subscriptions, our revenues or deferred revenues could be adversely affected.

IT MAY BE DIFFICULT TO EVALUATE OUR FUTURE PROSPECTS AND MAY INCREASE RISK THAT WE WILL NOT BE SUCCESSFUL.

Some of the risks include:

respond timely and effectively to competitor offerings and pricing models;
appropriately price our offerings;
manage the costs of providing our cloud services;
generate leads and convert users of the trial versions of our offerings to paying customers;
prevent users from circumventing the terms of their licenses and cloud subscriptions;


continue to invest in our platform to deliver additional enhancements and content for our offerings and to foster an ecosystem of developers and users to expand the use cases of our offerings;

maintain and enhance our website and cloud services infrastructure to minimize interruptions when accessing our offerings;
process, store and use our employees, customers’, and other third parties’ data in compliance with applicable governmental regulations and other legal obligations related to data privacy, data protection, data transfer, data residency, encryption and security;
hire, integrate and retain world-class professional and technical talent; and
successfully integrate acquired businesses and technologies.

IF WE OR OUR THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS EXPERIENCE A SECURITY BREACH OR UNAUTHORIZED PARTIES OTHERWISE OBTAIN ACCESS TO OUR CUSTOMERS’ NETWORK, OUR DATA, OR OUR CLOUD SERVICES, OUR OFFERINGS MAY BE PERCEIVED AS NOT BEING SECURE, OUR REPUTATION MAY BE HARMED, DEMAND FOR OUR OFFERINGS MAY BE REDUCED, AND WE MAY INCUR SIGNIFICANT LIABILITIES.

Our offerings involve the storage and transmission of data, and security breaches could result in the loss of this information, litigation, indemnity obligations and other liability. We may become the target of cyber-attacks by third parties seeking unauthorized access to our data or users’ data or to disrupt our ability to provide service. While we have taken steps to protect the confidential information that we have access to, including confidential information we may obtain through our customer support services or customer usage of our cloud services, our security measures or those of our third-party service providers could be breached or we could suffer data loss. Computer malware, viruses, social engineering (predominantly spear phishing attacks), and general hacking have become more prevalent in our industry, particularly against cloud services. In addition, we do not directly control content that customers store in our offerings. If customers use our offerings for the transmission or storage of personally identifiable information and our security measures are or are believed to have been breached as a result of third-party action, employee error, malfeasance or otherwise, our reputation could be damaged, our business may suffer, and we could incur significant liability.

We also process, store, and transmit our own data as part of our business and operations. This data may include personally identifiable, confidential, or proprietary information. There can be no assurance that any security measures that we or our third-party service providers have implemented will be effective against current or future laws, regulationssecurity threats. While we have developed systems and ordersprocesses to protect the integrity, confidentiality and security of our data, our security measures or those of our third-party service providers could fail and result in unauthorized access to or disclosure, modification, misuse, loss or destruction of such data.

Because there are many different security breach techniques and such techniques continue to evolve, we may be unable to anticipate attempted security breaches and implement adequate preventative measures. Third parties may also conduct attacks designed to temporarily deny customers access to our cloud services. Any security breach or other security incident, or the perception that one has occurred, could result in a loss of customer confidence in the security of our offerings and damage to our brand, reduce the demand for our offerings, disrupt normal business operations, require us to spend material resources to investigate or correct the breach, expose us to legal liabilities, including litigation, regulatory enforcement, and indemnity obligations, and adversely affect our revenues and operating results. These risks may increase as we continue to grow the number and scale of our cloud services, and process, store, and transmit increasingly large amounts of data.

WE USE THIRD-PARTY TECHNOLOGY AND SYSTEMS FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ENCRYPTION AND AUTHENTICATION TECHNOLOGY, EMPLOYEE EMAIL, CONTENT DELIVERY TO CUSTOMERS, BACK-OFFICE SUPPORT, CREDIT CARD PROCESSING AND OTHER FUNCTIONS.

Although we have developed systems and processes that are designed to protect customer information and prevent data loss and other security breaches, including systems and processes designed to reduce the impact of a security breach at a third-party vendor, such measures cannot provide absolute security.

Interruptions or performance problems associated with our technology and infrastructure, and our reliance on Unified Communications as a Service (“UCaaS”) technologies from third parties, may adversely affect our business operations and financial results.


Our continued growth depends in part on the ability of our existing and potential customers to use and access our website or our cloud services in order to download our on-premises software or encrypted access keys for our software within an acceptable amount of time. We have experienced, and may in the future experience, website and cloud service disruptions, storage failures, outages, and other performance problems due to a variety of factors, including infrastructure changes, human or software errors, capacity constraints due to an overwhelming number of users accessing our website and services simultaneously, unauthorized access, denial of service, security or ransomware attacks. In some instances, we may not be able to identify the cause or causes of these website or service performance problems within an acceptable period of time. It may become increasingly difficult to maintain and improve our website and service performance, especially during peak usage times and as our offerings become more complex and our user traffic increases. If our website or cloud services are unavailable or if our users are unable to download our software or encrypted access keys within a reasonable amount of time or at all, our business would be negatively affected. We expect to continue to make significant investments to maintain and improve website and service performance and to enable rapid releases of new features and apps for our offerings. To the extent that we do not effectively address capacity constraints, upgrade our systems as needed and continually develop our technology and network architecture to accommodate actual and anticipated changes in technology, our business and operating results may be adversely affected.

We could be impacted by unfavorable results of legal proceedings, including the pending proceedings t3 communications, inc., and may, from time to time, be involved in future litigation in which substantial monetary damages are sought.

We are currently subject to a legal proceeding involving our subsidiary T3 Communications, Inc., which is discussed in more detail under the heading “Legal Proceedings.” In connection with this litigation, we may be required to pay monetary damages. Defending against current litigation is or can be time-consuming, expensive and cause diversion of our management’s attention.

In addition, we may from time to time be involved in future litigation in which substantial monetary damages are sought. Litigation claims may relate to intellectual property, contracts, employment, securities and other matters arising out of the conduct of our current and past business activities. Any claims, whether with or without merit, could be time consuming, expensive to defend and could divert management’s attention and resources. We may maintain insurance against some, but not limited to, our cloud-based communications and collaboration services, cannot be determined. But as a general matter, increased regulationall, of these potential claims, and the impositionlevels of additional funding obligations increases service costs thatinsurance we do maintain may not be adequate to fully cover any and all losses.

With respect to any litigation, our insurance may not reimburse us, or may not be recoverablesufficient to reimburse us, for the expenses or losses we may suffer in contesting and concluding such lawsuit. The results of any future litigation or claims are inherently unpredictable and substantial litigation costs, unreimbursed legal fees or an adverse result in any litigation may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash from operating activities or financial condition.

OUR BUSINESS COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY WIDESPREAD PUBLIC HEALTH EPIDEMICS, SUCH AS COVID-19, OR OTHER CATASTROPHIC EVENTS BEYOND OUR CONTROL.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have suspended all non-essential travel for our customers,employees, are canceling or postponing in-person attendance at industry events and limiting in-person work-related meetings. Currently, as a result of the work and travel restrictions related to the ongoing pandemic, several of our business activities are being conducted remotely which might be less effective than in-person meetings or in-office work. Despite these precautions, the necessary work within our laboratory and of our collaborators has continued without significant interruption. Although we continue to monitor the situation and may adjust our current policies as more information and guidance become available, temporarily suspending travel and limitations on doing business in-person has and could continue to negatively impact our business development efforts and create operational or other challenges, any of which could result in making our services less competitive with traditional telecommunications services if we increase our prices or decreasing our profit margins if we attempt to absorb such costs.

Federal, state, local and foreign governmental organizations are considering other legislative and regulatory proposals that would regulate and/or tax applications running over the Internet. We cannot predict whether new taxes will be imposed on our services, and depending on the type of taxes imposed, whether and how our services would be affected thereafter. Increased regulation of the Internet may decrease its growth and hinder technological development, which may negatively impact the cost of doing business via the Internet or otherwise materially adversely affectharm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic could disrupt our operations due to absenteeism by infected or ill members of management or other employees because of our limited staffing. COVID-19 related illness could also impact members of our Board of Directors resulting in absenteeism from meetings of the directors or committees of directors and making it more difficult to convene the quorums of the full Board of Directors or its committees needed to conduct meetings for the management of our affairs.


Risks Related to Our Stock

Regulation of Internet-based Telecommunication Services in the United StatesUPON EXERCISE OF OUR OUTSTANDING WARRANTS, WE WILL BE OBLIGATED TO ISSUE A SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER OF ADDITIONAL SHARES OF COMMON STOCK WHICH WILL DILUTE OUR PRESENT SHAREHOLDERS.

 

We haveare obligated to issue additional shares of our Stock in connection with our outstanding warrants. Currently outstanding warrants are exercisable for 45,952,758 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the necessary authority under Section 214Post Road Warrant. The exercise of these warrants will cause us to issue additional shares of our Common Stock and will dilute the percentage ownership of our shareholders. The 45,952,758 shares are the current number; however, this may increase in the future as Post Road is entitled to exercise the Post Road Warrant for at least fifteen percent (15%) of the Communications Act to operate asCommon Stock outstanding, calculated on a domestic and international carrier. We are consideredfully-diluted basis. The 107,701,179 warrant shares that Post Road reported it owned in the Schedule 13D it filed on November 27, 2020 represents twenty-five percent (25%) of the Company’s total shares of Common Stock, calculated on a non-dominant domestic interstate carrier subject to minimal regulation by the FCC. Wefully diluted basis, which assumes future share issuances that are not requiredcertain or not yet contractually obligated to obtain FCC authority to initiate or expand our domestic interstate operations, but we are required to obtain FCC approval to transfer control or discontinue service and are required to file various reports and pay various fees and assessments.be issued. As described above under “Post Road Warrant,” based on the Company’s achievement of certain performance targets, the Post Road Warrant may be exercisable into twenty percent (20%) of the Common Stock, calculated on a fully-diluted basis as described above. In addition, we must offer servicethe Post Road Warrant may be exercisable into fifteen percent (15%) of the Common Stock, calculated on a nondiscriminatoryfully-diluted basis at justas described above, if the minority stockholders of T3 Nevada, convert their T3 Nevada shares into shares of the Common Stock.

OUR STOCK PRICE MAY BE VOLATILE, WHICH COULD RESULT IN SUBSTANTIAL LOSSES FOR INVESTORS.

The market price of our Common Stock is likely to be highly volatile and reasonable ratescould fluctuate widely in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including the following:

technological innovations or new products and services by us or our competitors;
additions or departures of key personnel;

sales of our Common Stock, particularly under any registration statement for the purposes of selling any other securities, including management shares;

negative sentiment from investors, customers, vendors, and strategic partners due to doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern;
our ability to execute our business plan;
operating results that fall below expectations;
loss of any strategic relationship;
industry developments;
economic and other external factors; and
period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results.

In addition, the securities markets have from time-to-time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also significantly affect the market price of our Common Stock.


WE ARE SUBJECT TO PENNY STOCK RULES WHICH WILL MAKE THE SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK MORE DIFFICULT TO SELL.

We are subject to the FCC’s complaint jurisdiction. Generally,Securities and Exchange Commission’s “penny stock” rules since our international voice trafficshares of Common Stock sell below $5.00 per share. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a per share price of less than $5.00. The penny stock rules require broker-dealers to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to completing the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation.

In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. The penny stock rules are burdensome and may reduce purchases of any offerings and reduce the trading activity for shares of our Common Stock. As long as our shares of Common Stock are subject to minimal regulationthe penny stock rules, the holders of such shares of Common Stock may find it more difficult to sell their securities.

THERE IS, AT PRESENT, ONLY A LIMITED MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK AND WE CANNOT ENSURE INVESTORS THAT AN ACTIVE MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK WILL EVER DEVELOP OR BE SUSTAINED.

Our shares of Common Stock are thinly traded. Due to the illiquidity of our Common Stock, the market price of our Common Stock may not accurately reflect our relative value. There can be no assurance that there will be an active market for our shares of Common Stock either now or in the future. Because our Common Stock is so thinly traded, a large block of shares traded can lead to a dramatic fluctuation in the share price and investors may not be able to liquidate their investment in us at all or at a price that reflects the value of the business. In addition, our Common Stock currently trades on the OTCQB, which generally lacks the liquidity, research coverage and institutional investor following of a national securities exchange like the NYSE American, the New York Stock Exchange, or the Nasdaq Stock Market. While we intend to list our Common Stock on a national securities exchange once we satisfy the initial listing standards for such an exchange, we currently do not, and may not ever, satisfy such initial listing standards.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS CAN AUTHORIZE THE ISSUANCE OF PREFERRED STOCK, WHICH COULD DIMINISH THE RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF OUR COMMON STOCK AND MAKE A CHANGE OF CONTROL OF US MORE DIFFICULT EVEN IF IT MIGHT BENEFIT OUR SHAREHOLDERS.

Our Board of Directors is authorized to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the voting powers, preferences and other rights and limitations of the preferred stock. We may issue additional shares of preferred stock with a preference over our Common Stock with respect to dividends or distributions on liquidation or dissolution, or that may otherwise adversely affect the voting or other rights of the holders of Common Stock. Issuances of preferred stock, depending upon the rights, preferences and designations of the preferred stock, may have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change of control, even if that change of control might benefit our shareholders.

OFFERS OR AVAILABILITY FOR SALE OF A SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER OF SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK MAY CAUSE THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK TO DECLINE.

Sales of a significant number of shares of our Common Stock in the public market could harm the market price of our Common Stock and make it more difficult for us to raise funds through future offerings of Common Stock. As additional shares of our Common Stock become available for resale in the public market, the supply of our Common Stock will increase, which could decrease the price of our Common Stock.

In addition, if our shareholders sell substantial amounts of our Common Stock in the public market, upon the expiration of any statutory holding period under Rule 144, upon the expiration of lock-up periods applicable to outstanding shares, or upon the exercise of outstanding options or warrants, it could create a circumstance commonly referred to as an “overhang,” in anticipation of which the market price of our Common Stock could fall. The existence of an overhang, whether or not sales have occurred or are occurring, could also make it more difficult for us to raise additional financing through the sale of equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate.


WE DO NOT EXPECT TO PAY DIVIDENDS IN THE FUTURE. AS A RESULT, ANY RETURN ON INVESTMENT, MAY BE LIMITED TO THE VALUE OF OUR COMMON STOCK.

We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our Common Stock will depend on our earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors as our board of directors may consider relevant. If we do not pay dividends, our Common Stock may be less valuable because a return on an investment in our Common Stock will only occur if our stock price appreciates.

WE HAVE NOT VOLUNTARILY IMPLEMENTED VARIOUS CORPORATE GOVERNANCE MEASURES, THE ABSENCE OF WHICH, STOCKHOLDERS MAY HAVE MORE LIMITED PROTECTIONS AGAINST INTERESTED DIRECTOR TRANSACTIONS, CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND SIMILAR MATTERS.

Federal legislation, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, has resulted in the adoption of various corporate governance measures designed to promote the integrity of the corporate management and the securities markets. Some of these measures have been adopted in response to legal requirements. Others have been adopted by statecompanies in response to the requirements of national securities exchanges, such as the NYSE or the NASDAQ Stock Market, on which their securities are listed. Among the corporate governance measures that are required under the rules of national securities exchanges are those that address board of directors’ independence, audit committee oversight, and local jurisdictions.the adoption of a code of ethics. While we have adopted certain corporate governance measures such as a Code of Ethics, we presently have only one independent director. It is possible that if we were to add independent directors on our board, stockholders would benefit from somewhat greater assurances that internal corporate decisions were being made by disinterested directors and that policies had been implemented to define responsible conduct. For example, in the absence of audit, nominating and compensation committees comprised of at least a majority of independent directors, decisions concerning matters such as compensation packages to our senior officers and recommendations for director nominees may be made by our directors who have an interest in the outcome of the matters being decided. Prospective investors should bear in mind our current lack of corporate governance measures and single independent director in formulating their investment decisions.

OUR BUSINESS COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED IF WE FAIL TO IMPLEMENT AND MAINTAIN EFFECTIVE DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES AND INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

We concluded that as of July 31, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting were not effective. We have determined that we have deficiencies in the design or operation of our internal controls under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) within the required time periods and that material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting exist relating to not being able to provide for adequate review of our financial statements. If we are unable to implement and maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and remediate the material weaknesses in a timely manner, or if we identify other material weaknesses in the future, our ability to produce accurate and timely financial statements and public reports could be impaired, which could adversely affect our business and financial condition. We identified a lack of sufficient segregation of duties. In addition, investors may lose confidence in our reported information and the market price of our Common Stock may decline.

PUBLIC COMPANY COMPLIANCE MAY MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR US TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS.

 

The FCC requires Internet voice communications service providers,Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Act, the JOBS Act, the FAST Act, and rules subsequently implemented by the SEC have required changes in corporate governance practices of public companies. As a public company, we expect these rules and regulations, and amendments to them, to contribute to our compliance costs and to make certain activities more time consuming and costly. As a public company, we also expect that these rules and regulations may make it difficult and expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers.

Provisions of the warrants offered by this prospectus could discourage an acquisition of us by a third party.

OUR MANAGEMENT WILL HAVE BROAD DISCRETION OVER THE USE OF PROCEEDS FROM THIS OFFERING AND MAY NOT USE THE PROCEEDS EFFECTIVELY.

Our management will have broad discretion over the use of proceeds from this offering. We may use the net proceeds from this offering to acquire and invest in complementary products, technologies, or businesses; however, we currently have no agreements or commitments to complete any such transaction. Our management will have considerable discretion in the application of the net proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately. The net proceeds may be used for corporate purposes that do not improve our operating results or enhance the value of our securities.


Our expected use of net proceeds from this offering represents our current intentions based upon our present plans and business condition. As of the date of this prospectus, we cannot predict with certainty all of the particular uses for the caller’s registered location.net proceeds to be received upon the completion of this offering. The FCC also requires interconnected VoIP service providersamounts and timing of our actual use of the net proceeds will vary depending on numerous factors, including amount of cash used in our operations, which can be highly uncertain, subject to make Universal Service Fund (“USF”) contributions. We believesubstantial risks and can often change. Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds, and investors will be relying on our judgment regarding the application of the net proceeds of this offering.

The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could harm our business. Pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds from this offering in short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing securities. These investments may not yield a favorable return to our stockholders. If we do not invest or apply the net proceeds from this offering in ways that enhance stockholder value, we may fail to achieve expected financial results, which could cause our services are currently compliant with all applicablestock price to decline.

Even if we meet the initial listing requirements of the FCC, and we have made and are making the required contributions to the USF. However, should we at some time fail to meet certain requirements or fail to make required contributions, we could be subject to revocation of our authority to operate or to fines or penalties.

As a result of the FCC’s preemption of states’ ability to regulate certain aspects of VoIP service, and a trend in state legislatures to affirmatively deregulate VoIP services for most purposes, our VoIP services are subject to relatively few state regulatory requirements aside from collection of state and local E911 fees and state Universal Service support obligations. We believe that our VoIP services are currently compliant with all applicable state requirements, and we have made and are making the required contributions to E911, state USF, and other funds. The state regulatory framework for our VoIP services continues to evolve, so we, in conjunction with our professional advisors, monitor the actions of the various state regulatory agencies and endeavor to ensure that we are in compliance with applicable state law, including any new statutes or regulations that may be passed. However,Nasdaq Capital Market, there can be no assurance that we will become awarebe able to comply with the continued listing standards of all applicablethe Nasdaq Capital Market. Our failure to meet the continued listing requirements onof the Nasdaq Capital Market could result in a timely basis, orde-listing of our common stock.

Even if we meet the initial listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market, we cannot assure you that we will always be fully compliantable to comply with applicable rulesthe other standards that we are required to meet in order to maintain a listing of our Common Stock and regulations. Shouldwarrants on the Nasdaq Capital Market. If after listing we fail to satisfy the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market, such as the corporate governance requirements or the minimum stockholder’s equity requirement, the Nasdaq Capital Market may take steps to de-list our Common Stock and/or warrants. Such a de-listing would likely have a negative effect on the price of our Common Stock and warrants and would impair our shareholders’ ability to sell or purchase our Common Stock and warrants when they wish to do so. In the event of a de-listing, we would take actions to restore our compliance with the Nasdaq Capital Market’s listing requirements, but we can provide no assurance that any action taken by us would result in our Common Stock and/or warrants becoming listed again, or that any such action would stabilize the market price or improve the liquidity of our Common Stock or warrants.

There is no assurance that once listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market we will not continue to experience volatility in our share price.

The OTCQB Marketplace, where our Common Stock is currently quoted, is an inter-dealer, over-the-counter market that provides significantly less liquidity than the Nasdaq Capital Market. Our stock is thinly traded due to the limited number of shares available for trading on the OTCQB Marketplace thus causing large swings in price. As such, investors and potential investors may find it difficult to obtain accurate stock price quotations, and holders of our Common Stock may be compliantunable to resell their securities at or near their original offering price or at any price. Our public offering price per share of Common Stock may vary from the market price of our Common Stock after the offering. If an active market for our stock develops and continues, our stock price may nevertheless be volatile. If our stock experiences volatility, investors may not be able to sell their Common Stock at or above the public offering price per share in this offering. Sales of substantial amounts of our Common Stock, or the perception that such sales might occur, could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our Common Stock and our stock price may decline substantially in a short period of time. As a result, our shareholders could suffer losses or be unable to liquidate their holdings. No assurance can be given that the price of our Common Stock will become less volatile when listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

Market prices for our Common Stock will be influenced by a number of factors, including:

the issuance of new equity securities pursuant to a future offering, including issuances of preferred stock;

the introduction of new products or services by us or our competitors;

any future reseller arrangements with global and domestic providers and brand owners;

changes in interest rates;

significant dilution caused by the anti-dilutive clauses in our financial agreements;


competitive developments, including announcements by competitors of new products or services or significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;

variations in quarterly operating results; 

change in financial estimates by securities analysts;

a limited amount of news and analyst coverage for our company;

the depth and liquidity of the market for our shares of Common Stock;

sales of large blocks of our Common Stock, including sales by our major stockholder, any executive officers or directors appointed in the future, or by other significant shareholders;

investor perceptions of our company and the direct selling segment generally; and

general economic and other national and international conditions.

Market price fluctuations may negatively affect the ability of investors to sell our shares at consistent prices.

Even if the reverse stock split achieves the requisite increase in the market price of our common stock, we cannot assure you that we will be able to continue to comply with applicable state regulations,the minimum bid price requirement of the Nasdaq Capital Market.

Even if the reverse stock split achieves the requisite increase in the market price of our Common Stock to be in compliance with the minimum bid price of the Nasdaq Capital Market, there can be no assurance that the market price of our Common Stock following the reverse stock split will remain at the level required for continuing compliance with that requirement. It is not uncommon for the market price of a company’s common stock to decline in the period following a reverse stock split. If the market price of our Common Stock declines following the effectuation of the reverse stock split, the percentage decline may be greater than would occur in the absence of a reverse stock split. In any event, other factors unrelated to the number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding, such as negative financial or operational results, could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock and jeopardize our ability to file required reportsmeet or maintain the Nasdaq Capital Market’s minimum bid price requirement.

Even if the reverse stock split increases the market price of our common stock and we meet the initial listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market, there can be no assurance that we will be able to comply with state regulatory agencies,the continued listing standards of the Nasdaq Capital Market, a failure of which could result in a de-listing of our common stock.

The Nasdaq Capital Market requires that the trading price of its listed stocks remain above one dollar in order for the stock to remain listed. If a listed stock trades below one dollar for more than 30 consecutive trading days, then it is subject to delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market. In addition, to maintain a listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, we must satisfy minimum financial and other continued listing requirements and standards, including those regarding director independence and independent committee requirements, minimum stockholders’ equity, and certain corporate governance requirements. If we are unable to satisfy these requirements or standards, we could be subject to fines and/delisting, which would have a negative effect on the price of our Common Stock and would impair your ability to sell or penalties.purchase our Common Stock when you wish to do so. In the event of a delisting, we would expect to take actions to restore our compliance with the listing requirements, but we can provide no assurance that any such action taken by us would allow our Common Stock to become listed again, stabilize the market price or improve the liquidity of our Common Stock, prevent our Common Stock from dropping below the minimum bid price requirement, or prevent future non-compliance with the listing requirements.

(1)On an actual basis, based on 137,858,000 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of April 30, 2021 and excludes the following as of that date:

9,230,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options, with a weighted-average exercise price of $0.17 per share;

DILUTION

If you invest in our shares in this offering, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per share of Common Stock that is part of the Unit and the as adjusted net tangible book value per share of Common Stock immediately after this offering.

Our historical net tangible book value as of April 30, 2021, was approximately ($28,254,000), or ($0.20) per share of Common Stock. Our historical net tangible book value is the amount of our total tangible assets less our liabilities. Historical net tangible book value per share of Common Stock is our historical net tangible book value divided by the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as of April 30, 2021. 

Our as adjusted net tangible book value as of April 30, 2021 was $           per share of Common Stock. As adjusted net tangible book value per share represents our total tangible assets less our total liabilities, divided by the number of outstanding Common Stock, after giving effect

to the issuance and sale of the Units by us in this offering at the public offering price of $          per Unit, after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and the estimated offering expenses payable by us.

After giving effect to this offering, at a public offering price of $           per Unit, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our net tangible book value on a as adjusted basis as of April 30, 2021, would have been $           per share of Common Stock. This amount represents an immediate increase in as adjusted net tangible book value of $           per share of Common Stock to our existing shareholders and an immediate dilution of $           per share of Common Stock to new investors purchasing Units in this offering. We determine dilution by subtracting the s adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering from the amount of cash that a new investor paid for a Unit.

The following table illustrates this dilution:

Public offering price per Unit $ 
Net tangible book value per Common Stock as of April 30, 2021 $(0.20)
Increase in as adjusted net tangible book value per share attributable to this offering   
As adjusted net tangible book value per share, after this offering   
Dilution per share to new investors in this offering $ 

A $           increase (decrease) in the public offering price of $           per Unit, would increase (decrease) the as adjusted net tangible book value per share by $           , and increase (decrease) dilution to new investors by $           per share, in each case assuming that the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

The foregoing discussion and table do not consider further dilution to new investors that could occur upon the exercise of outstanding warrants having a per share exercise or conversion price less than the per share offering price to the public in this offering.

If the underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase additional Units in this offering, the as adjusted net tangible book value after the offering would be $           per share, the increase in net tangible book value to existing shareholders would be $           per share, and the dilution to new investors would be $           per share, in each case at a public offering price of $           per share. 

The number of shares of Common Stock that will be outstanding after this offering is based on 137,858,000 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of April 30, 2021, and excludes the following as of that date:

9,230,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options, with a weighted-average exercise price of $0.17 per share;
109,836,179 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants, with a weighted-average exercise price of $0.02 per share; and
          shares issuable upon exercise of the Underwriter’s over-allotment option.


MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this prospectus. Certain statements in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” are forward-looking statements that are based on current expectations and involve various risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. We encourage you to review the information the “Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” sections in this prospectus.

Overview

Digerati Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (including our subsidiaries, “we,” “us,” “Company” or “Digerati”), through its operating subsidiaries in Texas and Florida, Shift8 Networks, Inc., d/b/a, T3 Communications, T3 Communications, Inc. and Nexogy, provides cloud services specializing in Unified Communications as a Service (“UCaaS”) solutions for the business market. Our product line includes a portfolio of Internet-based telephony products and services delivered through our cloud application platform and session-based communication network and network services including Internet broadband, fiber, mobile broadband, and cloud WAN solutions (SD WAN). Our services are designed to provide enterprise-class, carrier-grade services to the small-to-medium-sized business (“SMB”) at cost-effective monthly rates. Our UCaaS or cloud communication services include fully hosted IP/PBX, mobile applications, Voice over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) or Unified Communication astransport, SIP trunking, and customized VoIP services all delivered Only in the Cloud™.

As a Serviceprovider of cloud communications solutions to the SMB, we are seeking to capitalize on the migration by businesses from the legacy telephone network to the Internet Protocol (“UCaaS”IP”) offerings. telecommunication network and the migration from hardware-based on-premise telephone systems to software-based communication systems in the cloud. Most SMBs are lagging in technical capabilities and advancement and seldom reach the economies of scale that their larger counterparts enjoy, due to their achievement of a critical mass and ability to deploy a single solution to a large number of workers. SMBs are typically unable to afford comprehensive enterprise solutions and, therefore, need to integrate a combination of business solutions to meet their needs. Cloud computing has revolutionized the industry and opened the door for businesses of all sizes to gain access to enterprise applications with affordable pricing. This especially holds true for cloud telephony applications, but SMBs are still a higher-touch sale that requires customer support for system integration, network installation, cabling, and troubleshooting. We have placed a significant emphasis on that “local” touch when selling, delivering, and supporting our services which we believe will differentiate us from the national providers that are experiencing high attrition rates due to poor customer support.

The adoption of cloud communication services is being driven by the convergence of several market trends, including the increasing costs of maintaining installed legacy communications systems, the fragmentation resulting from use of multiple on-premise systems, and the proliferation of personal smartphones used in the workplace. Today, businesses are increasingly looking for an affordable path to modernizing their communications system to improve productivity, business performance and customer experience.

Our cloud solutions offer the SMB reliable, robust, and full-featured services at affordable monthly rates that eliminates high-cost capital expenditures and provides for integration with other cloud-based systems.

To strengthen our business, we intend to adopt best practices from or recent acquisitions and invest in a marketing and sales strategy to grow our monthly recurring revenue; we anticipate utilizing our value-added resellers and channel partners to tap into new sources of revenue streams, we have also secured various agent agreements to accelerate revenue growth. In addition, we will continue to focus on selling a greater number of comprehensive services to our existing customer base. Further, in an effort to increase our revenues, we will continue to evaluate the acquisition of various assets with emphasis in VoIP Services and Cloud Communication Services. As a result, during the due diligence process we anticipate incurring significant legal and professional fees.


Management believes that available resources as of April 30, 2021, will not be sufficient to fund the Company’s operations, debt service and corporate expenses over the next 12 months. The Company’s ability to continue to meet its obligations and to achieve its business objectives is dependent upon, and other things, raising additional capital, issuing stock-based compensation to certain members of the executive management team in lieu of cash, or generating sufficient revenue in excess of costs. At such time as the Company requires additional funding, the Company will seek to secure such best-efforts funding from various possible sources, including equity or debt financing, sales of assets, or collaborative arrangements. If the Company raises additional capital through the issuance of equity securities or securities convertible into equity, stockholders will experience dilution, and such securities may have rights, preferences, or privileges senior to those of the holders of Common Stock or convertible senior notes. If the Company raises additional funds by issuing debt, the Company may be subject to limitations on its operations, through debt covenants or other restrictions. If the Company obtains additional funds through arrangements with collaborators or strategic partners, the Company may be required to relinquish its rights to certain technologies. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional funds or raise them on acceptable terms. If the Company is unable to obtain financing on acceptable terms, it may be unable to execute its business plan, the Company could be required to curtail its operations, and the Company may not be able to pay off its obligations, if and when they come due.

Our current cash expenses are expected to be approximately $750,000 per month, including wages, rent, utilities, corporate expenses, and legal professional fees associated with potential acquisitions. As described elsewhere herein, we are not generating sufficient cash from operations to pay for our corporate and ongoing operating expenses, or to pay our current liabilities. As of April 30, 2021, our total liabilities were approximately $32,430,000, which included $17,340,000 in derivative liabilities. We will continue to use our available cash on hand to cover our deficiencies in operating expenses.

We estimate that we need approximately $65,000 per month of additional working capital to fund our corporate expenses during Fiscal 2021.

We have been successful in raising debt capital and equity capital in the past and as described in Notes 6, 7, and 8 to our consolidated financial statements. We have financing efforts in place to continue to raise cash through debt and equity offerings. Although we have successfully completed financings and reduced expenses in the past, we cannot assure you that our plans to address these matters in the future will be successful.

Critical Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition. On August 1, 2018, we adopted Topic 606 using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of August 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after August 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606. There was no impact to the opening balance of accumulated deficit or revenues for the year ended July 31, 2019 as a result of applying Topic 606.

The Company recognizes cloud-based hosted services revenue, mainly from subscription services for its cloud telephony applications that includes hosted IP/PBX services, SIP trunking, call center applications, auto attendant, voice and web conferencing, call recording, messaging, voicemail to email conversion, integrated mobility applications that are device and location agnostic, and other customized applications. Other services include enterprise-class data and connectivity solutions through multiple broadband technologies including cloud WAN or SD-WAN (Software-defined Wide Area Network), fiber, and Ethernet over copper. We also offer remote network monitoring, data backup and disaster recovery services. The Company applies a five-step approach in determining the amount and timing of revenue to be recognized: (1) identifying the contract with a customer, (2) identifying the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (5) recognizing revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied. Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is recognized at the time control of the products transfers to the customer.

Service Revenue. Service revenue from subscriptions to the Company’s cloud-based technology platform is recognized over time on a ratable basis over the contractual subscription term beginning on the date that the platform is made available to the customer. Payments received in advance of subscription services being rendered are recorded as a deferred revenue. Usage fees, either bundled or not bundled, are recognized when the Company has a right to invoice. Professional services for configuration, system integration, optimization, customer training and/or education are primarily billed on a fixed-fee basis and are performed by the Company directly. Alternatively, customers may choose to perform these services themselves or engage their own third-party service providers. Professional services revenue is recognized over time, generally as services are activated for the customer.

Product Revenue. The Company recognizes product revenue for telephony equipment at a point in time, when transfer of control has occurred, which is generally upon delivery. Sales returns are recorded as a reduction to revenue estimated based on historical experience.

Cloud software and service revenue $6,212  $5,847 
Product revenue  67   193 
Total operating revenues $6,279  $6,040 

Contract Assets. Contract assets are recorded for those parts of the contract consideration not yet invoiced but for which the performance obligations are completed. The revenue is recognized when the customer receives services or equipment for a reduced consideration at the onset of an arrangement; for example, when the initial month’s services or equipment are discounted. Contract assets are included in prepaid and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets, depending on if their reduction is recognized during the succeeding 12-month period or beyond. Contract assets as of April 30, 2021, and July 31, 2020, were $13,260 and $5,980, respectively.

Deferred Income. Deferred income represents billings or payment received in advance of revenue recognition and is recognized upon transfer of control. Balances consist primarily of annual plan subscription services, for services not yet provided as of the balance sheet date. Deferred revenues that will be recognized during the succeeding 12-month period are recorded as current deferred revenues in the consolidated balance sheets, with the remainder recorded as other noncurrent liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Deferred income as of April 30, 2021, and July 31, 2020, were $43,000 and $148,000, respectively.

Customer Deposits. The Company in some instances requires customers to make deposits for equipment, installation charges and training. As equipment is installed and training takes places the deposits are then applied to revenue. As of April 30, 2021, and July 31, 2020, Digerati’s customer deposits balance was $131,000 and $131,000, respectively

Costs to Obtain a Customer Contract. Sales commissions are paid upon collections of related revenue and are expensed during the same period. Sales commissions for the nine months ended April 30, 2021, and April 30, 2020, were $576,476 and $51,953, respectively.

Direct Costs - Cloud software and service. We incur bandwidth and colocation charges in connection with our UCaaS or cloud communication services. The bandwidth charges are incurred as part of the connectivity between our customers to allow them access to our various services. We also incur costs from underlying providers for fiber, Internet broadband, and telecommunication circuits in connection with our data and connectivity solutions.

Goodwill, Intangible Assets, and Long-Lived Assets. Goodwill is carried at cost and is not amortized. The Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis at the end of each fiscal year, relying on a number of factors including operating results, business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows and marketplace data. Company management uses its judgment in assessing whether goodwill has become impaired between annual impairment tests according to specifications set forth in ASC 350. The Company completed an evaluation of goodwill at July 31, 2020 and 2019 and determined that there was no impairment.


The fair value of the Company’s reporting unit is dependent upon the Company’s estimate of future cash flows and other factors. The Company’s estimates of future cash flows include assumptions concerning future operating performance and economic conditions and may differ from actual future cash flows. Estimated future cash flows are adjusted by an appropriate discount rate derived from the Company’s market capitalization plus a suitable control premium at date of the evaluation.

The financial and credit market volatility directly impacts the Company’s fair value measurement through the Company’s weighted average cost of capital that the Company uses to determine its discount rate and through the Company’s stock price that the Company uses to determine its market capitalization. Therefore, changes in the stock price may also affect the amount of impairment recorded.

The Company recognizes an acquired intangible asset apart from goodwill whenever the intangible asset arises from contractual or other legal rights, or when it can be separated or divided from the acquired entity and sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged, either individually or in combination with a related contract, asset or liability. Such intangibles are amortized over their useful lives. Impairment losses are recognized if the carrying amount of an intangible asset subject to amortization is not recoverable from expected future cash flows and its carrying amount exceeds its fair value.

The Company reviews its long-lived assets, including property and equipment, identifiable intangibles, and goodwill annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. To determine recoverability of its long-lived assets, the Company evaluates the probability that future undiscounted net cash flows will be less than the carrying amount of the assets.

Business combinations. Each investment in a business is being measured and determined whether the investment should be accounted for as a cost-basis investment, an equity investment, a business combination, or a common control transaction. An investment in which the Company do not have a controlling interest and which the Company is not the primary beneficiary but where the Company has the ability to exert significant influence is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. For those investments that we account for in accordance ASC 805, Business Combinations, the Company records the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the management’s estimate of their fair values on the date of the business combination. The assessment of the estimated fair value of each of these can have a material effect on the reported results as intangible assets are amortized over various lives. Furthermore, according to ASC 805-50-30-5, when accounting for a transfer of assets or exchange of shares between entities under common control, the entity that receives the net assets or the equity interests shall initially measure the recognized assets and liabilities transferred at their carrying amounts in the accounts of the transferring entity at the date of transfer.

Stock-based compensation. In June 2018 FASB adopted the Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Non-employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This update simplifies the accounting for non-employee share-based payment transactions by expanding the scope of Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from non-employees. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within that reporting period. The Company adopted the updated standard as of May 1, 2018, adopting this guidance did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. During FY 2020 and 2019, the Company issued 21,811,100 common shares and 1,827,927 common shares, respectively to various employees as part of our profit sharing-plan contribution and stock in lieu of cash. At the time of issuance during FY 2020 and 2019 we recognized stock-based compensation expense of approximately $1,127,000 and $1,044,000, respectively equivalent to the market value of the shares issued calculated based on the share’s closing price at the grant dates.

Derivative financial instruments. Digerati does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. However, Digerati analyzes its convertible instruments and free-standing instruments such as warrants for derivative liability accounting.

For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date. Any changes in fair value is recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense for each reporting period. For derivative notes payable conversion options Digerati uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value the derivative instruments.

The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument is probable within the next 12 months from the balance sheet date.


Treasury Shares. As a result of entering into various convertible debt instruments which contained a variable conversion feature with no floor, warrants with fixed exercise price, and convertible notes with fixed conversion price or with a conversion price floor, we reserved 25,000,000 treasury shares for consideration for future conversions and exercise of warrants, for convertible notes with fixed conversion price, notes with variable conversion feature with a floor and warrants with a conversion price floor. The Company will evaluate the reserved treasury shares on a quarterly basis, and if necessary, reserve additional treasury shares. As of April 30, 2021, we believe that the treasury share reserved are sufficient for any future conversions of these instruments. As a result, these debt instruments and warrants are excluded from derivative consideration.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. A fair value hierarchy is used which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The fair value hierarchy based on the three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.

For certain of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of our long-term debt approximates its fair value based on the quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or the current rates offered to us for debt of the same remaining maturities.

Our derivative liabilities as of April 30, 2021, and July 31, 2020, of $17,339,843 and $606,123, respectively.

The following table as of July 31, 2020 and April 30, 2021 provides the fair value of the derivative financial instruments measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs:

BUSINESS

Overview

Digerati Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (including our subsidiaries, “we,” “us,” “Company” or “Digerati”), through its operating subsidiaries in Texas and Florida, Shift8 Networks, Inc., dba, T3 Communications (“T3”) and T3 Communications, Inc. (“T3”), respectively, provides cloud services specializing in Unified Communications as a Service (“UCaaS”) solutions for the business market. Our product line includes a portfolio of Internet-based telephony products and services delivered through our cloud application platform and session-based communication network and network services including Internet broadband, fiber, mobile broadband, and cloud WAN solutions (SD WAN). Our services are designed to provide enterprise-class, carrier-grade services to the small-to-medium-sized business (“SMB”) at cost-effective monthly rates. Our UCaaS or cloud communication services include fully hosted IP/PBX, mobile applications, Voice over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) transport, SIP trunking, and customized VoIP services all delivered Only in the Cloud™.

 

As a provider of September 12, 2019,cloud communications solutions to the SMB, we had 23 employees, allare seeking to capitalize on the migration by businesses from the legacy telephone network to the Internet Protocol (“IP”) telecommunication network and the migration from hardware-based on-premise telephone systems to software-based communication systems in the cloud. Most SMBs are lagging in technical capabilities and advancement and seldom reach the economies of whom performed sales, operational, technicalscale that their larger counterparts enjoy, due to their achievement of a critical mass and administrative functions. We believe our future success will dependability to deploy a single solution to a large extentnumber of workers. SMBs are typically unable to afford comprehensive enterprise solutions and, therefore, need to integrate a combination of business solutions to meet their needs. Cloud computing has revolutionized the industry and opened the door for businesses of all sizes to gain access to enterprise applications with affordable pricing. This especially holds true for cloud telephony applications, but SMBs are still a higher-touch sale that requires customer support for system integration, network installation, cabling, and troubleshooting. We have placed a significant emphasis on that “local” touch when selling, delivering, and supporting our continued abilityservices which we believe will differentiate us from the national providers that are experiencing high attrition rates due to attract and retain highly skilled and qualified employees. We consider our employee relations to be good. None of these aforementioned employees belong to labor unions.a poor customer support.

 

The adoption of cloud communication services is being driven by the convergence of several market trends, including the increasing costs of maintaining installed legacy communications systems, the fragmentation resulting from use of multiple on-premise systems, and the proliferation of personal smartphones used in the workplace. Today, businesses are increasingly looking for an affordable path to modernizing their communications system to improve productivity, business performance and customer experience. Most recently, the COVID-19 Pandemic has increased demand for communication systems that support remote working environments.

Our cloud solutions offer the SMB reliable, robust, and full-featured services at affordable monthly rates that eliminates high-cost capital expenditures and provides for integration with other cloud-based systems.

Nexogy Merger

On November 17, 2020, T3 Nevada’s wholly owned subsidiary, Nexogy Acquisition, Inc., merged with and into Nexogy, Inc. (“Nexogy”) resulting in Nexogy becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of T3 Nevada (the “Merger”). Nexogy is a leading provider in South Florida of Unified Communications as a Service and managed services, offering a portfolio of cloud-based solutions to the high-growth SMB market.

The purchase price for Nexogy was $9 million in cash, plus an additional $452,000 in initial excess net working capital. In addition, the Company anticipates adjusting the initial networking capital by approximately $179,000 to reflect additional asset value and other liabilities identified. Of the $9 million, $900,000 was placed in an indemnity escrow account and $50,000 of the $9 million was placed in a working capital escrow account. In addition, at the closing of the Merger, T3 Nevada paid a number of Nexogy’s liabilities which were included in the $9 million purchase price.


ActivePBX Asset Purchase

On November 17, 2020, our indirect, wholly owned subsidiary, T3 Communications, Inc., a Florida corporation (“T3 Florida”), executed and closed on an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with ActiveServe, Inc., a Florida corporation (“Seller”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, T3 Florida acquired the customer base, certain equipment, certain intellectual property, inventory, contract rights, software and other licenses and miscellaneous assets used in connection with the operation of Seller’s telecommunications business known as ActivePBX (collectively, the “Purchased Assets”).

The aggregate purchase price for the Purchased Assets was $2,555,000 in cash, subject to adjustment as provided therein (the “Purchase Price”). $1,190,000 of the Purchase Price was payable at closing, with $50,000 of such amount being withheld by T3 Florida for a period of 12 months to cover part of potential future indemnification obligations of Seller to T3 Florida due to Seller’s breaches, if any, of any representations and warranties made to T3 Florida by Seller under the Purchase Agreement, and Registration Rights$40,000 of such amount being credited to T3 Florida against a payment in that amount made by T3 Florida to Seller pursuant to the Second Amendment to Letter of Intent between Seller and T3 Florida dated as of October 15, 2020.

Part of the Purchase Price is payable in 8 equal quarterly payments of $136,250, subject to T3 Florida achieving quarterly post-purchase recurring revenues under monthly contracts or subscriptions from the acquired customer base, excluding charges for taxes, regulatory fees, additional set-up fees, equipment purchases or lease, and consulting fees. To the extent that a quarterly revenue threshold is not reached, the amount of the corresponding quarterly payment shall be reduced on a proportional basis. T3 Florida’s $1,190,000 payment obligation is represented by a promissory note of T3 Florida in the form included as an exhibit to the Purchase Agreement. The note, in turn, is subject to the Subordination Agreement, included as an Exhibit to the Purchase Agreement, among Seller, the Company’s parent, T3 Nevada, and Post Road Administrative, LLC, in its capacity as administrative agent for the Post Road lenders. $275,000 of the Purchase Price (the “Customer Renewal Value”) represents an incentive earn-out to be paid with respect to Seller’s customer accounts which are transferred to T3 Florida at closing, that are renewed, expanded and/or revised with T3 Florida for a minimum term of twelve months with an auto-renewal for 12 months.

In connection with the Purchase Agreement, we entered into Consulting Agreements and a Non-Compete Agreement with each of Alex Gonzalez and Jose Gonzalez, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Technology Officer of Seller.

Credit Agreement and Notes

 

On November 17, 2020, T3 Communications, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“T3 Nevada”), a majority owned subsidiary of Digerati Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) and the Company’s other subsidiaries entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Post Road Administrative LLC and its affiliate Post Road Special Opportunity Fund II LLP (collectively, “Post Road”). The Company is a party to certain sections of the Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, Post Road will provide T3 Nevada with a secured loan of up to $20,000,000 (the “Loan”), with initial loans of $10,500,000 pursuant to the issuance of a Term Loan A Note and $3,500,000 pursuant to the issuance of a Term Loan B Note, each funded on November 17, 2020, and an additional $6,000,000 on loans, in increments of $1,000,000 as requested by T3 Nevada before the 18 month anniversary of the initial funding date to be lent pursuant to the issuance of a Delayed Draw Term Note.

The Term Loan A and Delayed Draw Term Notes have maturity dates of November 17, 2024 and an interest rate of LIBOR (with a minimum rate of 1.5%) plus twelve percent (12%). Term Loan A is non-amortized (interest only payments) through the maturity date and contains an option for the Company to pay interest in kind (PIK) for up to five percent (5%) of the interest rate in year one, four percent (4%) in year two and three percent (3%) in year three.

Term Loan B has a maturity date of December 31, 2021 and an interest rate of LIBOR (with a minimum rate of 1.5%) plus twelve percent (12%). Term Loan B is non-amortized (interest only payments) through the maturity date and contains an option for the Company to pay interest in kind (PIK) for up to five percent (5%) of the interest rate in year one, four percent (4%) in year two and three percent (3%) in year three.

Permitted use of proceeds for the initial $14,000,000 of the Loan included approximately $9.452 million for the purchase price for the merger of Nexogy with and into an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company described above, $1.190 million for the purchase price and transaction fees of certain assets of ActiveServe, Inc. described above, $1.487 million for the payment in full of outstanding debts owed and accrued interest to three creditors, including the secured creditor Thermo Communication, Inc., the payment of approximately $464,000 paid to Post Road, and recognized as deferred financing cost, and will be amortized over the terms of the notes. In addition, the Company expensed $430,000 in legal fees associated to the acquisitions and financing.


The Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and indemnification provisions. The Credit Agreement also contains affirmative and negative covenants with respect to operation of the business and properties of the loan parties as well as financial performance.

T3 Nevada’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a first-priority security interest in all of the assets of T3 Nevada and guaranteed by the other subsidiaries of the Company pursuant to the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement, dated November 17, 2020, by and among T3 Nevada, the Company’s other subsidiaries, and Post Road Administrative LLC (the “Guaranty and Collateral Agreement”). In addition, T3 Nevada’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are, pursuant to a Pledge Agreement (the “Pledge Agreement”), secured by a pledge of a first priority security interest in T3 Nevada’s 100% equity ownership of each of T3 Nevada’s operating companies.

Warrant

In connection with the Credit Agreement, on November 17, 2020, the Company issued a Warrant to Post Road Special Opportunity Fund II LP (the “Warrant”) to purchase, initially, twenty-five percent (25%) of the Company’s total shares (the “Warrant”), calculated on a fully diluted basis as of the date of issuance (the “Warrant Shares”) and subject to a reduction to fifteen percent (15%) as described below.

The number of Warrant Shares is adjustable to allow the holder to maintain, subject to certain share issuances that are exceptions, the right to purchase twenty-five percent (25%) of the Company’s total shares, calculated on a fully diluted basis. The Warrant has an exercise price of $0.01 per share and the Warrant expires on November 17, 2030. Seventy-five percent (75%) of the Warrant Shares are immediately fully vested and not subject to forfeiture at any time for any reason. The remaining twenty-five percent (25%) of the Warrant Shares are subject to forfeiture based on the Company achieving certain performance targets which, if achieved, would result in twenty percent (20%) warrant coverage. If the minority shareholders of T3 Nevada convert their T3 Nevada shares into shares of the Common Stock, the Warrant Shares percentage shall also be lowered such that when combined with the achievement of the performance targets, the warrant coverage could be reduced to fifteen percent (15%).

In connection with the issuance of the Warrant, the three executives of the Company, Art Smith, Antonio Estrada, and Craig Clement entered into a Tag-Along Agreement (the “Tag-Along Agreement”) whereby they agreed that the holder of the Warrant or Warrant Share will have the right to participate or “tag-along” in any agreements to sell any shares of their Common Stock that such executives enter into. The Company also agreed, in connection with the issuance of the Warrant and pursuant to a Board Observer Agreement (the “Board Observer Agreement”), to grant Post Road the right to appoint a representative to each of the boards of directors of the Company and each of its subsidiaries, to attend all board meeting in a non-voting observer capacity.

We also offer remote network monitoring, data backup and disaster recovery.


Voice over Internet Protocol Networks

The basic technology of traditional telecommunications systems was designed for slow mechanical switches. Communications over the traditional telephone network are routed through circuits that must dedicate all circuit resources to each call from its inception until the call ends, regardless of whether anyone is actually talking on the circuit. This circuit-switching technology incurs a significant cost per call and does not efficiently support the integration of voice with data services. Data networks, however, were designed for electronic switching. They break the data stream into small, individually addressed packages of data (“packets”) that are routed independently of each other from the origin to the destination. Therefore, they do not require a fixed amount of bandwidth to be reserved between the origin and destination of each call and they do not waste bandwidth when it is not being used for actual transmission of information. This allows multiple voice or voice and data calls to be pooled, resulting in these networks being able to carry more calls with an equal amount of bandwidth. Moreover, they do not require the same complex switching methods required by traditional voice telephone networks, instead using a multiplicity of routers to direct each packet to its destination and automatically routing packets around blockages, congestion or outages.

Packet switching can be used within a data network or across networks, including the public Internet. The Internet itself is not a single data network owned by any single entity, but rather a loose interconnection of networks belonging to many owners that communicate using the Internet Protocol. By converting voice signals to digital data and handling the voice signals as data, it can be transmitted through the more efficient switching networks designed for data transmissions and through the Internet using the Internet Protocol. The transmission of voice signals as digitalized data streams over the Internet is known as VoIP. A VoIP network has the following advantages over traditional networks:

Simplification: An integrated infrastructure that supports all forms of communication allows more standardization, a smaller equipment complement, and less equipment management.

Network Efficiency: The integration of voice and data fills up the data communication channels efficiently, thus providing bandwidth consolidation and reduction of the costs associated with idle bandwidth. This combined infrastructure can support dynamic bandwidth optimization and a fault tolerant design. The differences between the traffic patterns of voice and data offer further opportunities for significant efficiency improvements.

Co-existence with traditional communication mediums: IP telephony can be used in conjunction with existing public telephone system switches, leased and dial-up lines, PBXs and other customer premise equipment, enterprise LANs, and Internet connections. IP telephony applications can be implemented through dedicated gateways, which in turn can be based on open standards platforms for reliability and scalability.

Cost reduction: Under the VoIP network, the connection is directly to the Internet backbone and as a result the telephony access charges, and settlement fees are avoided.

The growth of voice over the Internet was limited in the past due to poor sound quality caused by technical issues such as delays in packet transmission and by bandwidth limitations related to Internet network capacity and local access constraints. However, the expansion of Internet Protocol network infrastructure, improvements in packet switching and compression technology, new software algorithms and improved hardware have substantially reduced delays in packet transmissions and resulted in superior sound quality to that of the legacy telephone network. The continued improvement and expansion of the Internet Protocol network has resulted in the use of this technology for other communication media, including video conferencing and instant messaging.

Cloud Communications

Cloud communications are Internet-based voice and data communications where telecommunications applications, switching and storage are hosted by a third-party service provider outside of the organization using the services. Services are accessed by the user over the public Internet. Cloud telephony refers specifically to voice services and more specifically the replacement of conventional business telephone equipment (such as a PBX) with VoIP service hosted by a third-party service provider and delivered over the Internet.


We operate a cloud communication network that consists of a VoIP switching system and cloud telephony application platform. Our network allows us to provide end-to-end cloud telephony solutions designed to provide significant benefits to businesses of all sizes, with single or multiple locations. The integration of our cloud communication platform and global VoIP network allows us to provide our customers with virtually any type of telephony solution on a global basis.

Our cloud communication solutions, also known as UCaaS, are designed to minimize upfront capital costs, increase the scalability and flexibility of the customer’s communications network and service environment, provide robust features and functionality to increase productivity and reduce the overall cost of communications.

Strategy

Our strategy is to target the small to medium-sized business market and capitalize on the wave of migration from the legacy telephone network to cloud telephony. We will continue to concentrate our sales and marketing efforts on developing vertically oriented solutions for targeted markets primarily focusing on municipalities, banking, healthcare, legal services, and real estate. In addition, we will continue to partner with our distributors and Value-Added Resellers (“VARs”) to expand our customer base. Our typical VAR, also referred to as a Partner, is an information technology services firm, traditional PBX vendor, managed service provider, or systems integrator that has established relationships with businesses in its local market. These VARs are currently providing local customer support for other IT or PBX services but lack the technology infrastructure to provide cloud communication and VoIP services to their customers. Our strategy allows these VARs to focus on their strength of providing first tier support to their customers while we provide the second and third tier technical support required to operate a cloud communication and VoIP network. In addition, we transform our VARs’ business model by introducing new cloud telephony services and adding a new and lucrative recurring revenue stream that increases the VARs’ value proposition for its current and prospective customers.

Our cloud-based technology platform enables us and our VARs to deliver enhanced voice services to their business customers. The features supported on our cloud communication platform include all standard telephone features and value-added applications such as voicemail to email, VoIP peering, teleconferencing, IVR auto attendant, and dial-by-name directory. Our system provides our customers and VARs with a migration path from a traditional PBX system to a complete cloud-based PBX solution.

Our strategic initiatives to successfully meet our long-term business objectives include:

A disciplined approach to evaluating additional acquisitions as we build on the foundation created by our acquisitions in Texas and Florida in FY2018. We will continue to target local and/or regional UCaaS/cloud telephony providers which have excelled in their market with that “local” touch when serving their business customers. We believe the experience gained in integrating products, personnel, and customers will facilitate continued growth via acquisition.

A continued emphasis on our UCaaS/cloud communication business which operates in a segment of the telecommunication industry that continues to experience significant growth as businesses migrate from legacy phone systems to cloud-based telephony systems.

Enhancements to our broadband product portfolio with an emphasis on marketing leading-edge network and business continuity solutions like cloud WAN, also known as SD-WAN (Software Defined Wide-Area Network), to our customers which we anticipate will increase average revenue per customer.

Implementing a total support model (pre and post sales) for building a world-class service delivery and help desk organization.

Emphasis on our sales distribution model that enables our VARs to offer cloud and session-based communication services to the enterprise market in various regions and industries.

Continue enhancing our infrastructure and back office system to streamline operations, automate key processes, and support the scalability of our VAR distribution model.


Competitive Conditions

The cloud services industry, including the provisioning of cloud communications services, cloud connectivity, cloud storage and cloud computing, as well as carrier voice and data services, is highly competitive, rapidly evolving and subject to constant technological change and intense marketing by providers with similar products and services. We expect that new, smaller, but very agile competitors, specializing in providing service to regional and emerging markets at low margin and hence low cost, may have an impact on our market. Similarly, the business services market includes competitors who may be significantly larger and have substantially greater market presence, financial, technical, operational and marketing resources than we do, including Tier 1 carriers, cable companies and premise-based solutions providers that are implementing cloud communication services. In the event that such a competitor expends significant sales and marketing resources in one or several markets where we compete with them, we may not be able to compete successfully in those markets. Specialized cloud services providers, who focus on one or more cloud service or application, could adopt aggressive pricing and promotion practices that could impact our ability to compete. We also believe that competition will continue to increase, placing downward pressure on prices. Such pressure could adversely affect our gross margins if we are not able to reduce our costs commensurate with the price reductions of our competitors. In addition, the pace of technological change makes it impossible for us to predict whether we will face new competitors using different technologies to provide the same or similar services offered or proposed to be offered by us. If our competitors were to provide better and more cost-effective services than ours, we may not be able to increase our revenues or capture any significant market share.

The VoIP and Internet telephony market are highly competitive. Our competitors include major telecommunications carriers in the U.S., national UCaaS providers, and numerous small cloud telephony operators. We expect to face continuing competition based on price and service offerings from existing competitors and new market entrants in the future. The principal competitive factors in our market include price, coverage, customer service, technical response times, reliability, and network size/capacity. The competitive landscape is rapidly altering the number, identity, and competitiveness of the marketplace, and we are unable to determine with certainty the impact of potential consolidation in our industry.

Many of our competitors have substantially greater financial, technical, and marketing resources, larger customer bases, longer operating histories, greater name recognition and more established relationships in the industry than we have. As a result, certain of these competitors may be able to adopt more aggressive pricing policies that could hinder our ability to market our services. We believe that our key competitive advantages are our ability to deliver reliable, high quality voice service over the Internet in a cost-effective manner, superior customers service and our VAR distribution model. We cannot provide assurances, however, that these advantages will enable us to succeed against comparable service offerings from our competitors.

Risks Related to Our Business

 

WE HAVE A HISTORY OF OPERATING LOSSES, ANTICIPATE FUTURE LOSSES, AND MAY NEVER BE PROFITABLE.

 

We have experienced significant operating losses in our Company’s recent history. Our ability to achieve annual profitability in the future depends on a number of factors, including our ability to attract and service customers on a profitable basis and the growth of the video surveillanceUCaaS (Unified Communications as a Service) sector of our industry. If we are unable to achieve annual profitability, we may not be able to execute our business plan, our prospects may be harmed, and our stock price could be materially and adversely affected.

 

WE HAVE AN ACCUMULATED DEFICIT AND WE ANTICIPATE CONTINUING LOSSES THAT WILL RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT LIQUIDITY AND CASH FLOW PROBLEMS AND WE MAY BE FORCED TO CEASE OPERATIONS.

We have incurred losses since our inception and have an accumulated deficit of approximately $104,166,000 as of April 30, 2021. Our operations have been financed primarily through the issuance of equity and debt. For the year ended July 31, 2020, our net loss was $3,424,000. For the nine months ended April 30, 2021, net loss including noncontrolling interest and cash used in operating activities were $15,692,000 and $403,000, respectively. We are constantly evaluating our cash needs and our burn rate, in order to make appropriate adjustments in operating expenses. We anticipate that our cash used in operations will continue to increase as a result of being a public company due to increased professional fees. Our continued existence is dependent upon, among other things, our ability to raise capital and to market and sell our products and services successfully. While we are attempting to increase sales, growth has not been significant enough to support daily operations, there is no assurance that we will continue as a going concern. If we are unable to continue as a going concern and were forced to cease operations, it is likely that our stockholders would lose their entire investment in our company.

OUR AUDITORS HAVE EXPRESSED DOUBTS ABOUT OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN. IF WE WERE FORCED TO CEASE OUR BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS, YOU WOULD LOSE YOUR INVESTMENT IN OUR COMPANY.

Our revenues are not sufficient to enable us to meet our operating expenses and otherwise implement our business plan. The report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our financial statements for the year ended July 31, 2020 contains an explanatory paragraph raising doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern as a result of our losses from operations, stockholders’ deficit, and negative working capital. Our consolidated financial statements, which appear elsewhere in this prospectus, are prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect future adverse effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or amounts and classification of liabilities that may result if we are not successful.


THE MARKETS IN WHICH WE COMPETE ARE HIGHLY COMPETITIVE.

 

The cloud services and internet-based telephony products and services markets in which we primarily compete are highly competitive and are influenced by competitive factors including:

 

 our ability to rapidly develop and introduce new high performance integrated solutions;
   
 the price and total cost of ownership and return on investment associated with the solutions;
   
 the simplicity of deployment and use of the solutions;
   
 the reliability and scalability of the solutions;
   
 the market awareness of a particular brand;
   
 our ability to provide secure access to wirelessdata networks;
   
 our ability to offer a suite of products and solutions;
   
 our ability to allow centralized management of the solutions; and
   
 our ability to provide quality product support.

 

New entrants seeking to gain market share by introducing new technology and new products may also make it more difficult for us to sell our products and could create increased pricing pressure.

 

We expect competition to continuously intensify as other established and new companies introduce new products in the same markets that we serve or intend to enter, as these markets consolidate. Our business will suffer if we do not maintain our competitiveness.

 

A number of our current or potential competitors have longer operating histories, greater brand recognition, larger customer bases, and significantly greater resources than we do.

 


As we move into new markets for different types of products, our brand may not be as well-known as incumbents in those markets. Potential customers may prefer to purchase from their existing suppliers or well-known brands rather than a new supplier, regardless of product performance or features. We expect increased competition from other established and emerging companies ifas our markets continue to develop and expand. As we enter new markets, we expect to face competition from incumbent and new market participants and there is no assurance that our entry into new markets will be successful.

 

MANY OF THESETHE COMPANIES AGAINST WHICH WE COMPETE HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY GREATER FINANCIAL, TECHNICAL, MARKETING, DISTRIBUTION AND OTHER RESOURCES THAN WE DO AND ARE BETTER POSITIONED TO ACQUIRE AND OFFER COMPLEMENTARY PRODUCTS AND TECHNOLOGIES.

 

Industry consolidation, acquisitions and other arrangements among competitors may adversely affect our competitiveness because it may be more difficult to compete with entities that have access to their combined resources. As a result of such consolidation, acquisition or other arrangements, our current and potential competitors might be able to adapt more quickly to new technologies and consumer preference, devote greater resources to the marketing and promotion of their products, initiate or withstand price competition, and take advantage of acquisitions or other opportunities more readily and develop and expand their products more quickly than we do. These combinations may also affect customers’ perceptions regarding the viability of companies our size and, consequently, affect their willingness to purchase our products.

 


THE COMPLEXITY OF OUR PRODUCTS COULD RESULT IN UNFORESEEN DELAYS OR EXPENSES CAUSED BY UNDETECTED DEFECTS OR BUGS.

 

Our products may contain defects and bugs when they are introduced, or as new versions are released. We have focused, and intend to focus in the future, on getting our new products to market quickly. Due to our rapid product introductions, defects and bugs that may be contained in our products may not yet have manifested. We have in the past experienced, and may in the future experience, defects and bugs. If any of our products contain material defects or bugs, or has reliability, quality, or compatibility problems, we may not be able to correct these problems promptly or successfully correct these problems.successfully. The existence of defects or bugs in our products may damage our reputation and disrupt our sales. If any of these problems are not found until after we have commenced commercial production and distribution of a new product, we may be required to incur additional development costs from our technology provider, repair or replacement costs, and other costs relating to regulatory proceedings, product recalls and litigation, which could harm our reputation and operating results. Undetected defects or bugs may lead to negative online Internet reviews of our products, which are increasingly becoming a significant factor in the success of our new product launches, especially for our consumer products. If we are unable to quickly respond to negative reviews, including end user reviews posted on various prominent online retailers, our ability to sell these products will be harmed. Moreover, we may offer stock rotation rights to our distributors. If we experience greater returns from retailers or end customers, or greater warranty claims, in excess of our reserves, our business, revenue and operating results could be harmed.

 

SECURITY VULNERABILITIES IN OUR PRODUCTS, SERVICES AND SYSTEMS COULD LEAD TO REDUCED REVENUES AND CLAIMS AGAINST US.

 

The quality and performance of some of our products and services may depend upon their ability to withstand cyber attacks. Third parties may develop and deploy viruses, worms, and other malicious software programs, some of which may be designed to attack our products, systems, or networks. Some of our products and services also involve the storage and transmission of users’ and customers’ proprietary information which may be the target of cyber attacks. Hardware and software that we produce or procure from third parties also may contain defects in manufacture or design, including bugs and other problems, which could compromise their ability to withstand cyber attacks.

 

The costs to us to eliminate or alleviate security vulnerabilities can be significant, and our efforts to address these problems may not be successful and could result in interruptions, delays, cessation of service and loss of existing or potential customers that may impede our sales, manufacturing, distribution, or other critical functions, as well as potential liability to the company. The risk that these types of events could seriously harm our business is likely to increase as we expand the web-based products and services that we offer.

 


WE HAVE AN ACCUMULATED DEFICIT AND WE ANTICIPATE CONTINUING LOSSES THAT WILL RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT LIQUIDITY AND CASH FLOW PROBLEMS AND WE MAY BE FORCED TO CEASE OPERATIONS.

We have incurred losses since our inception and have an accumulated deficit of $84,434,000 as of April 30, 2019. Our operations have been financed primarily through the issuance of equity and debt. For the year ended July 31, 2018, net loss and cash used in operations were $3,220,000 and $985,000, respectively. We are constantly evaluating our cash needs and our burn rate, in order to make appropriate adjustments in operating expenses. We anticipate that our cash used in operations will continue to increase as a result of becoming a public company due to increased professional fees. Our continued existence is dependent upon, among other things, our ability to raise capital and to market and sell our products and services successfully. While we are attempting to increase sales, growth has not been significant enough to support daily operations, there is no assurance that we will continue as a going concern. If we are unable to continue as a going concern and were forced to cease operations, it is likely that our stockholders would lose their entire investment in our company.

OUR AUDITORS HAVE EXPRESSED DOUBTS ABOUT OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN. IF WE WERE FORCED TO CEASE OUR BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS, YOU WOULD LOSE YOUR INVESTMENT IN OUR COMPANY.

Our revenues are not sufficient to enable us to meet our operating expenses and otherwise implement our business plan. The report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our financial statements for the year ended July 31, 2018 contains an explanatory paragraph raising doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern as a result of our losses from operations, stockholders’ deficit and negative working capital. Our consolidated financial statements, which appear elsewhere in this Form 10-K, are prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect future adverse effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or amounts and classification of liabilities that may result if we are not successful.

WE WILL NEED ADDITIONAL FINANCING WHICH WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO OBTAIN ON ACCEPTABLE TERMS IF AT ALL. DUE TO THE SIZE OF OUR COMPANY AND THE LACK OF A PUBLIC MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK IT IS LIKELY THAT THE TERMS OF ANY FINANCING WE MAY BE ABLE TO SECURE WILL BE DETRIMENTAL TO OUR CURRENT STOCKHOLDERS.

 

Our current operations are not sufficient to fund our operating expenses and we will need to raise additional working capital to continue our current business and to provide funds for marketing to support our efforts to increase our revenues. Generally, small businesses such as ours which lack a robust public market for their securities, face significant difficulties in their efforts to raise equity capital. While to date we have relied upon the relationships of our executive officers in our capital raising efforts, there are no assurances that we will be successful utilizing these existing sources. In such an event, we could be required to engage a broker-dealerWe have engaged the Representative to assist us in our capital raising efforts. Even if we are successful in finding a broker-dealer willing to assist us in raising capital, thereefforts via this offering. There are no assurances that the terms of financings offered by a broker-dealerthis offering will be as favorable as those we have offered our investors to date. While we do not have any commitments to provide additional capital, if we are able to raise capital, the structure of that capital raise could impact our company and our stockholders in a variety of ways. If we raise additional capital through the issuance of debt, this will result in interest expense. In addition, the Term Loan Notes we’ve issued to Post Road requires us to obtain Post Road’s consent prior to closing this offering.

If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our company held by existing stockholders will be reduced and those stockholders may experience significant dilution. In addition, new securities may contain certain rights, preferences or privileges that are senior to those of our common stock.Common Stock. We cannot assure you that we will be able to raise the working capital as needed in the future on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If we do not raise funds as needed, we may not be able to continue our operations and it is likely that you would lose your entire investment in our company.

 


WE MAY NEED TO RAISE CAPITAL OVER THE NEXT TWELVE MONTHS TO FUND OUR OPERATIONS.

 

We do not have any additional commitments to provide capital and we cannot assure you that funds are available to us upon terms acceptable to us, if at all. If we do not raise funds as needed, our ability to provide for current working capital needs and satisfy our obligations is in jeopardy. In this event, you could lose all of your investment in our company.

 


WE DEPEND ON OUR KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL AND THE LOSS OF THEIR SERVICES COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS.

 

We place substantial reliance upon the efforts and abilities of our executive officers Arthur L. Smith, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and Antonio Estrada Jr., our Chief Financial Officer. The loss of the services of any of our executive officers could have a material adverse effect on our business, operations, revenues, or prospects. We do not maintain a $4 million key man life insurance on the lives of these individuals.policy with regard to Mr. Smith but do not have such a policy with regard to Mr. Estrada.

 

MANAGEMENT EXERCISES SIGNIFICANT CONTROL OVER MATTERS REQUIRING SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL WHICH MAY RESULT IN THE DELAY OR PREVENTION OF A CHANGE IN OUR CONTROL.

 

Arthur L. Smith, our President and Chief Executive Officer, Antonio Estrada Jr., our Chief Financial Officer and Craig K. Clement, Chairman of the Board, have voting power equal to approximately 20%60% of our voting securities.securities with the inclusion of our Series F Super Voting Preferred Stock which is only held by Messrs. Smith, Estrada, and Clement. As a result, management through such stock ownership rights has the ability to exercise significant control over all matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership in management may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of us that may be otherwise viewed as beneficial by shareholders other than management.

 

OUR REVENUES, OPERATING MARGINS, CASH FLOWS AND OTHER OPERATING RESULTS COULD VARY SIGNIFICANTLY FROM PERIOD TO PERIOD AS A RESULT OF VARIOUS FACTORS, MANY OF WHICH ARE OUTSIDE OF OUR CONTROL.

 

Our revenues, operating margins, cash flows and other operating results could vary significantly from period to period as a result of various factors, many of which are outside of our control. Our customers also have the choice of entering into agreements for term licenses and agreements for our cloud services.

 

WE EMPLOY MULTIPLE AND EVOLVING PRICING MODELS FOR OUR OFFERINGS.

 

We offer a subscription model for cloud services. We offer our services whichin a variety of packages for each of our product lines that includes UCaaS, SD WAN, and broadband solutions. Each of these product lines have different payment schedules, and depending on the mix of such licenses and cloud subscriptions, our revenues or deferred revenues could be adversely affected.

 

IT MAY BE DIFFICULT TO EVALUATE OUR FUTURE PROPSOECTSPROSPECTS AND MAY INCREASE RISK THAT WE WILL NOT BE SUCCESSFUL.

 

Some of the risks include:

 

respond timely and effectively to competitor offerings and pricing models;
   
appropriately price our offerings;
   
manage the costs of providing our cloud services;
   
generate leads and convert users of the trial versions of our offerings to paying customers;
   
prevent users from circumventing the terms of their licenses and cloud subscriptions;


 
continue to invest in our platform to deliver additional enhancements and content for our offerings and to foster an ecosystem of developers and users to expand the use cases of our offerings;

 
maintain and enhance our website and cloud services infrastructure to minimize interruptions when accessing our offerings;
   
process, store and use our employees, customers’, and other third parties’ data in compliance with applicable governmental regulations and other legal obligations related to data privacy, data protection, data transfer, data residency, encryption and security;
   
hire, integrate and retain world-class professional and technical talent; and
   
successfully integrate acquired businesses and technologies.

 


IF WE OR OUR THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS EXPERIENCE A SECURITY BREACH OR UNAUTHORIZED PARTIES OTHERWISE OBTAIN ACCESS TO OUR CUSTOMERS’ NETWORK, OUR DATA, OR OUR CLOUD SERVICES, OUR OFFERINGS MAY BE PERCEIVED AS NOT BEING SECURE, OUR REPUTATION MAY BE HARMED, DEMAND FOR OUR OFFERINGS MAY BE REDUCED, AND WE MAY INCUR SIGNIFICANT LIABILITIES.

 

Our offerings involve the storage and transmission of data, and security breaches could result in the loss of this information, litigation, indemnity obligations and other liability. We may become the target of cyber-attacks by third parties seeking unauthorized access to our data or users’ data or to disrupt our ability to provide service. While we have taken steps to protect the confidential information that we have access to, including confidential information we may obtain through our customer support services or customer usage of our cloud services, our security measures or those of our third-party service providers could be breached or we could suffer data loss. Computer malware, viruses, social engineering (predominantly spear phishing attacks), and general hacking have become more prevalent in our industry, particularly against cloud services. In addition, we do not directly control content that customers store in our offerings. If customers use our offerings for the transmission or storage of personally identifiable information and our security measures are or are believed to have been breached as a result of third-party action, employee error, malfeasance or otherwise, our reputation could be damaged, our business may suffer, and we could incur significant liability.

 

We also process, store, and transmit our own data as part of our business and operations. This data may include personally identifiable, confidential, or proprietary information. There can be no assurance that any security measures that we or our third-party service providers have implemented will be effective against current or future security threats. While we have developed systems and processes to protect the integrity, confidentiality and security of our data, our security measures or those of our third-party service providers could fail and result in unauthorized access to or disclosure, modification, misuse, loss or destruction of such data.

 

Because there are many different security breach techniques and such techniques continue to evolve, we may be unable to anticipate attempted security breaches and implement adequate preventative measures. Third parties may also conduct attacks designed to temporarily deny customers access to our cloud services. Any security breach or other security incident, or the perception that one has occurred, could result in a loss of customer confidence in the security of our offerings and damage to our brand, reduce the demand for our offerings, disrupt normal business operations, require us to spend material resources to investigate or correct the breach, expose us to legal liabilities, including litigation, regulatory enforcement, and indemnity obligations, and adversely affect our revenues and operating results. These risks may increase as we continue to grow the number and scale of our cloud services, and process, store, and transmit increasingly large amounts of data.

 

WE USE THIRD-PARTY TECHNOLOGY AND SYSTEMS FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ENCRYPTION AND AUTHENTICATION TECHNOLOGY, EMPLOYEE EMAIL, CONTENT DELIVERY TO CUSTOMERS, BACK-OFFICE SUPPORT, CREDIT CARD PROCESSING AND OTHER FUNCTIONS.

 

Although we have developed systems and processes that are designed to protect customer information and prevent data loss and other security breaches, including systems and processes designed to reduce the impact of a security breach at a third-party vendor, such measures cannot provide absolute security.

 

Interruptions or performance problems associated with our technology and infrastructure, and our reliance on Unified Communications as a Service (“UCaaS”) technologies from third parties, may adversely affect our business operations and financial results.

 


Our continued growth depends in part on the ability of our existing and potential customers to use and access our website or our cloud services in order to download our on-premises software or encrypted access keys for our software within an acceptable amount of time. We have experienced, and may in the future experience, website and cloud service disruptions, storage failures, outages, and other performance problems due to a variety of factors, including infrastructure changes, human or software errors, capacity constraints due to an overwhelming number of users accessing our website and services simultaneously, unauthorized access, denial of service, security or ransomware attacks. In some instances, we may not be able to identify the cause or causes of these website or service performance problems within an acceptable period of time. It may become increasingly difficult to maintain and improve our website and service performance, especially during peak usage times and as our offerings become more complex and our user traffic increases. If our website or cloud services are unavailable or if our users are unable to download our software or encrypted access keys within a reasonable amount of time or at all, our business would be negatively affected. We expect to continue to make significant investments to maintain and improve website and service performance and to enable rapid releases of new features and apps for our offerings. To the extent that we do not effectively address capacity constraints, upgrade our systems as needed and continually develop our technology and network architecture to accommodate actual and anticipated changes in technology, our business and operating results may be adversely affected.

 

We could be impacted by unfavorable results of legal proceedings, including the pending proceedings t3 communications, inc., and may, from time to time, be involved in future litigation in which substantial monetary damages are sought.

We are currently subject to a legal proceeding involving our subsidiary T3 Communications, Inc., which is discussed in more detail under the heading “Legal Proceedings.” In connection with this litigation, we may be required to pay monetary damages. Defending against current litigation is or can be time-consuming, expensive and cause diversion of our management’s attention.

In addition, we may from time to time be involved in future litigation in which substantial monetary damages are sought. Litigation claims may relate to intellectual property, contracts, employment, securities and other matters arising out of the conduct of our current and past business activities. Any claims, whether with or without merit, could be time consuming, expensive to defend and could divert management’s attention and resources. We may maintain insurance against some, but not all, of these potential claims, and the levels of insurance we do maintain may not be adequate to fully cover any and all losses.

With respect to any litigation, our insurance may not reimburse us, or may not be sufficient to reimburse us, for the expenses or losses we may suffer in contesting and concluding such lawsuit. The results of any future litigation or claims are inherently unpredictable and substantial litigation costs, unreimbursed legal fees or an adverse result in any litigation may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash from operating activities or financial condition.

OUR BUSINESS COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY WIDESPREAD PUBLIC HEALTH EPIDEMICS, SUCH AS COVID-19, OR OTHER CATASTROPHIC EVENTS BEYOND OUR CONTROL.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have suspended all non-essential travel for our employees, are canceling or postponing in-person attendance at industry events and limiting in-person work-related meetings. Currently, as a result of the work and travel restrictions related to the ongoing pandemic, several of our business activities are being conducted remotely which might be less effective than in-person meetings or in-office work. Despite these precautions, the necessary work within our laboratory and of our collaborators has continued without significant interruption. Although we continue to monitor the situation and may adjust our current policies as more information and guidance become available, temporarily suspending travel and limitations on doing business in-person has and could continue to negatively impact our business development efforts and create operational or other challenges, any of which could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic could disrupt our operations due to absenteeism by infected or ill members of management or other employees because of our limited staffing. COVID-19 related illness could also impact members of our Board of Directors resulting in absenteeism from meetings of the directors or committees of directors and making it more difficult to convene the quorums of the full Board of Directors or its committees needed to conduct meetings for the management of our affairs.


Risks Related to Our Stock

UPON EXERCISE OF OUR OUTSTANDING WARRANTS, WE WILL BE OBLIGATED TO ISSUE A SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER OF ADDITIONAL SHARES OF COMMON STOCK WHICH WILL DILUTE OUR PRESENT SHAREHOLDERS.

We are obligated to issue additional shares of our Stock in connection with our outstanding warrants. Currently outstanding warrants are exercisable for 45,952,758 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Post Road Warrant. The exercise of these warrants will cause us to issue additional shares of our Common Stock and will dilute the percentage ownership of our shareholders. The 45,952,758 shares are the current number; however, this may increase in the future as Post Road is entitled to exercise the Post Road Warrant for at least fifteen percent (15%) of the Common Stock outstanding, calculated on a fully-diluted basis. The 107,701,179 warrant shares that Post Road reported it owned in the Schedule 13D it filed on November 27, 2020 represents twenty-five percent (25%) of the Company’s total shares of Common Stock, calculated on a fully diluted basis, which assumes future share issuances that are not certain or not yet contractually obligated to be issued. As described above under “Post Road Warrant,” based on the Company’s achievement of certain performance targets, the Post Road Warrant may be exercisable into twenty percent (20%) of the Common Stock, calculated on a fully-diluted basis as described above. In addition, the Post Road Warrant may be exercisable into fifteen percent (15%) of the Common Stock, calculated on a fully-diluted basis as described above, if the minority stockholders of T3 Nevada, convert their T3 Nevada shares into shares of the Common Stock.

 

OUR STOCK PRICE MAY BE VOLATILE, WHICH COULD RESULT IN SUBSTANTIAL LOSSES FOR INVESTORS.

 

The market price of our common stockCommon Stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including the following:

 

 technological innovations or new products and services by us or our competitors;
   
 additions or departures of key personnel;
   
 

sales of our common stock,Common Stock, particularly under any registration statement for the purposes of selling any other securities, including management shares;

   
 negative sentiment from investors, customers, vendors, and strategic partners due to doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern;
   
 our ability to execute our business plan;
   
 operating results that fall below expectations;
   
 loss of any strategic relationship;
   
 industry developments;
   
 economic and other external factors; and
   
 period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results.

 

In addition, the securities markets have from time to timetime-to-time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also significantly affect the market price of our common stock.Common Stock.

 


WE ARE SUBJECT TO PENNY STOCK RULES WHICH WILL MAKE THE SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK MORE DIFFICULT TO SELL.

 

We are subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s “penny stock” rules since our shares of common stockCommon Stock sell below $5.00 per share. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a per share price of less than $5.00. The penny stock rules require broker-dealers to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to completing the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation.


 

In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. The penny stock rules are burdensome and may reduce purchases of any offerings and reduce the trading activity for shares of our common stock.Common Stock. As long as our shares of common stockCommon Stock are subject to the penny stock rules, the holders of such shares of common stockCommon Stock may find it more difficult to sell their securities.

 

THERE IS, AT PRESENT, ONLY A LIMITED MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK AND WE CANNOT ENSURE INVESTORS THAT AN ACTIVE MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK WILL EVER DEVELOP OR BE SUSTAINED.

 

Our shares of common stockCommon Stock are thinly traded. Due to the illiquidity of our Common Stock, the market price of our Common Stock may not accurately reflect our relative value. There can be no assurance that there will be an active market for our shares of common stockCommon Stock either now or in the future. Because our common stockCommon Stock is so thinly traded, a large block of shares traded can lead to a dramatic fluctuation in the share price and investors may not be able to liquidate their investment in us at all or at a price that reflects the value of the business. In addition, our common stockCommon Stock currently trades on the OTC QB,OTCQB, which generally lacks the liquidity, research coverage and institutional investor following of a national securities exchange like the NYSE MKT,American, the New York Stock Exchange, or the Nasdaq Stock Market. While we intend to list our common stockCommon Stock on a national securities exchange once we satisfy the initial listing standards for such an exchange, we currently do not, and may not ever, satisfy such initial listing standards.

 

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS CAN AUTHORIZE THE ISSUANCE OF PREFERRED STOCK, WHICH COULD DIMINISH THE RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF OUR COMMON STOCK AND MAKE A CHANGE OF CONTROL OF US MORE DIFFICULT EVEN IF IT MIGHT BENEFIT OUR SHAREHOLDERS.

 

Our boardBoard of directorsDirectors is authorized to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the voting powers, preferences and other rights and limitations of the preferred stock. We currently have no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding. We may issue additional shares of preferred stock with a preference over our common stockCommon Stock with respect to dividends or distributions on liquidation or dissolution, or that may otherwise adversely affect the voting or other rights of the holders of common stock.Common Stock. Issuances of preferred stock, depending upon the rights, preferences and designations of the preferred stock, may have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change of control, even if that change of control might benefit our shareholders.

 

OFFERS OR AVAILABILITY FOR SALE OF A SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER OF SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK MAY CAUSE THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK TO DECLINE.

 

Sales of a significant number of shares of our common stockCommon Stock in the public market could harm the market price of our common stockCommon Stock and make it more difficult for us to raise funds through future offerings of common stock.Common Stock. As additional shares of our common stockCommon Stock become available for resale in the public market, the supply of our common stockCommon Stock will increase, which could decrease the price of our common stock.Common Stock.

 

In addition, if our shareholders sell substantial amounts of our common stockCommon Stock in the public market, upon the expiration of any statutory holding period under Rule 144, upon the expiration of lock-up periods applicable to outstanding shares, or upon the exercise of outstanding options or warrants, it could create a circumstance commonly referred to as an “overhang,” in anticipation of which the market price of our common stockCommon Stock could fall. The existence of an overhang, whether or not sales have occurred or are occurring, could also make it more difficult for us to raise additional financing through the sale of equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate.

 


WE DO NOT EXPECT TO PAY DIVIDENDS IN THE FUTURE. AS A RESULT, ANY RETURN ON INVESTMENT, MAY BE LIMITED TO THE VALUE OF OUR COMMON STOCK.

 

We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stockCommon Stock in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our common stockCommon Stock will depend on our earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors as our board of directors may consider relevant. If we do not pay dividends, our common stockCommon Stock may be less valuable because a return on an investment in our common stockCommon Stock will only occur if our stock price appreciates.


WE HAVE NOT VOLUNTARILY IMPLEMENTED VARIOUS CORPORATE GOVERNANCE MEASURES, IN THE ABSENCE OF WHICH, STOCKHOLDERS MAY HAVE MORE LIMITED PROTECTIONS AGAINST INTERESTED DIRECTOR TRANSACTIONS, CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND SIMILAR MATTERS.

 

Federal legislation, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, has resulted in the adoption of various corporate governance measures designed to promote the integrity of the corporate management and the securities markets. Some of these measures have been adopted in response to legal requirements. Others have been adopted by companies in response to the requirements of national securities exchanges, such as the NYSE or the NASDAQ Stock Market, on which their securities are listed. Among the corporate governance measures that are required under the rules of national securities exchanges are those that address board of directors’ independence, audit committee oversight, and the adoption of a code of ethics. While we have adopted certain corporate governance measures such as a Code of Ethics, we presently do not have anyonly one independent directors.director. It is possible that if we were to haveadd independent directors on our board, stockholders would benefit from somewhat greater assurances that internal corporate decisions were being made by disinterested directors and that policies had been implemented to define responsible conduct. For example, in the absence of audit, nominating and compensation committees comprised of at least a majority of independent directors, decisions concerning matters such as compensation packages to our senior officers and recommendations for director nominees may be made by our directors who have an interest in the outcome of the matters being decided. Prospective investors should bear in mind our current lack of corporate governance measures and single independent directorsdirector in formulating their investment decisions.

 

OUR BUSINESS COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED IF WE FAIL TO IMPLEMENT AND MAINTAIN EFFECTIVE DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES AND INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

 

We concluded that as of July 31, 2018,2020, our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting were not effective. We have determined that we have deficiencies in the design or operation of our internal controls under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) within the required time periods and that material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting exist relating to not being able to provide for adequate review of our financial statements. If we are unable to implement and maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and remediate the material weaknesses in a timely manner, or if we identify other material weaknesses in the future, our ability to produce accurate and timely financial statements and public reports could be impaired, which could adversely affect our business and financial condition. We identified a lack of sufficient segregation of duties. In addition, investors may lose confidence in our reported information and the market price of our Common Stock may decline.

 

PUBLIC COMPANY COMPLIANCE MAY MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR US TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Act, the JOBS Act, the FAST Act, and rules subsequently implemented by the SEC have required changes in corporate governance practices of public companies. As a public company, we expect these rules and regulations, and amendments to them, to contribute to our compliance costs and to make certain activities more time consuming and costly. As a public company, we also expect that these rules and regulations may make it difficult and expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers.


Risks Related to thethis Offering

 

OUR EXISTING STOCKHOLDERS MAYINVESTORS IN THIS OFFERING WILL EXPERIENCE SIGNIFICANTIMMEDIATE AND SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION FROM THE SALE OF OUR COMMON STOCK PURSUANT TO THE PEAK ONE FINANCING AGREEMENT.IN NET TANGIBLE BOOK VALUE.

 

The salepublic offering price will be substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share of our outstanding shares of Common Stock. As a result, investors in this offering will incur immediate dilution of $      per share, based on the public offering price of $      per share of Common Stock. Investors in this offering will pay a price per share that substantially exceeds the book value of our assets after subtracting our liabilities. See “Dilution” for a more complete description of how the value of your investment will be diluted upon the completion of this offering.

The offering price of the common stock may not be indicative of the value of our assets or the price at which shares can be resold.

The offering price of the shares of Common Stock may not be an indication of our actual value. The offering price of per share was determined based upon negotiations between the underwriters and us. Such price does not have any relationship to any established criteria of value, such as book value or earnings per share. Such price may not be indicative of the current market value of our assets. No assurance can be given that the shares can be resold at the public offering price.

THE WARRANTS ARE SPECULATIVE IN NATURE.

The warrants offered in this offering do not confer any rights of Common Stock ownership on their holders, such as voting rights or the right to receive dividends, but rather merely represent the right to acquire shares of our Common Stock at a fixed price for a limited period of time. Specifically, commencing on the date of issuance, holders of the warrants may exercise their right to acquire the Common Stock and pay an exercise price of 110% of the public offering price of the Common Stock in this offering, prior to five years from the date of issuance, after which date any unexercised warrants will expire and have no further value. There can be no assurance that the market price of the Common Stock will ever equal or the exercise price of the warrants and consequently, whether it will ever be profitable for holders of these warrants to exercise them.

Holders of the warrants will have no rights as a common stockholder except as otherwise provided in the warrants until they acquire our common stock.

Until you acquire shares of our Common Stock upon exercise of your warrants, you will have no rights with respect to shares of our Common Stock issuable upon exercise of your warrant except as otherwise provided in the warrant. Upon exercise of your warrant, you will be entitled to exercise the rights of a common stockholder as to the security exercised only as to matters for which the record date occurs after the exercise.

Provisions of the warrants offered by this prospectus could discourage an acquisition of us by a third party.

In addition to the discussion of the provisions of our amended and restated articles of incorporation, our amended and restated by-laws, certain provisions of the warrants offered by this prospectus could make it more difficult or expensive for a third party to acquire us. The warrants prohibit us from engaging in certain transactions constituting “fundamental transactions” unless, among other things, the surviving entity assumes our obligations under the warrants. These and other provisions of the warrants offered by this prospectus could prevent or deter a third party from acquiring us even where the acquisition could be beneficial to you.

OUR MANAGEMENT WILL HAVE BROAD DISCRETION OVER THE USE OF PROCEEDS FROM THIS OFFERING AND MAY NOT USE THE PROCEEDS EFFECTIVELY.

Our management will have broad discretion over the use of proceeds from this offering. We may use the net proceeds from this offering to acquire and invest in complementary products, technologies, or businesses; however, we currently have no agreements or commitments to complete any such transaction. Our management will have considerable discretion in the application of the net proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately. The net proceeds may be used for corporate purposes that do not improve our operating results or enhance the value of our securities.


Our expected use of net proceeds from this offering represents our current intentions based upon our present plans and business condition. As of the date of this prospectus, we cannot predict with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds to be received upon the completion of this offering. The amounts and timing of our actual use of the net proceeds will vary depending on numerous factors, including amount of cash used in our operations, which can be highly uncertain, subject to substantial risks and can often change. Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds, and investors will be relying on our judgment regarding the application of the net proceeds of this offering.

The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could harm our business. Pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds from this offering in short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing securities. These investments may not yield a favorable return to our stockholders. If we do not invest or apply the net proceeds from this offering in ways that enhance stockholder value, we may fail to achieve expected financial results, which could cause our stock price to decline.

Even if we meet the initial listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market, there can be no assurance that we will be able to comply with the continued listing standards of the Nasdaq Capital Market. Our failure to meet the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market could result in a de-listing of our common stock.

Even if we meet the initial listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market, we cannot assure you that we will be able to Peak One in accordancecomply with the Financing Agreementother standards that we are required to meet in order to maintain a listing of our Common Stock and warrants on the Nasdaq Capital Market. If after listing we fail to satisfy the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market, such as the corporate governance requirements or the minimum stockholder’s equity requirement, the Nasdaq Capital Market may take steps to de-list our Common Stock and/or warrants. Such a de-listing would likely have a dilutive impactnegative effect on the price of our shareholders.Common Stock and warrants and would impair our shareholders’ ability to sell or purchase our Common Stock and warrants when they wish to do so. In the event of a de-listing, we would take actions to restore our compliance with the Nasdaq Capital Market’s listing requirements, but we can provide no assurance that any action taken by us would result in our Common Stock and/or warrants becoming listed again, or that any such action would stabilize the market price or improve the liquidity of our Common Stock or warrants.

There is no assurance that once listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market we will not continue to experience volatility in our share price.

The OTCQB Marketplace, where our Common Stock is currently quoted, is an inter-dealer, over-the-counter market that provides significantly less liquidity than the Nasdaq Capital Market. Our stock is thinly traded due to the limited number of shares available for trading on the OTCQB Marketplace thus causing large swings in price. As such, investors and potential investors may find it difficult to obtain accurate stock price quotations, and holders of our Common Stock may be unable to resell their securities at or near their original offering price or at any price. Our public offering price per share of Common Stock may vary from the market price of our Common Stock after the offering. If an active market for our stock develops and continues, our stock price may nevertheless be volatile. If our stock experiences volatility, investors may not be able to sell their Common Stock at or above the public offering price per share in this offering. Sales of substantial amounts of our Common Stock, or the perception that such sales might occur, could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our Common Stock and our stock price may decline substantially in a short period of time. As a result, our shareholders could suffer losses or be unable to liquidate their holdings. No assurance can be given that the price of our Common Stock will become less volatile when listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

Market prices for our Common Stock will be influenced by a number of factors, including:

the issuance of new equity securities pursuant to a future offering, including issuances of preferred stock;

the introduction of new products or services by us or our competitors;

any future reseller arrangements with global and domestic providers and brand owners;

changes in interest rates;

significant dilution caused by the anti-dilutive clauses in our financial agreements;


competitive developments, including announcements by competitors of new products or services or significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;

variations in quarterly operating results; 

change in financial estimates by securities analysts;

a limited amount of news and analyst coverage for our company;

the depth and liquidity of the market for our shares of Common Stock;

sales of large blocks of our Common Stock, including sales by our major stockholder, any executive officers or directors appointed in the future, or by other significant shareholders;

investor perceptions of our company and the direct selling segment generally; and

general economic and other national and international conditions.

Market price fluctuations may negatively affect the ability of investors to sell our shares at consistent prices.

Even if the reverse stock split achieves the requisite increase in the market price of our common stock, we cannot assure you that we will be able to continue to comply with the minimum bid price requirement of the Nasdaq Capital Market.

Even if the reverse stock split achieves the requisite increase in the market price of our Common Stock to be in compliance with the minimum bid price of the Nasdaq Capital Market, there can be no assurance that the market price of our Common Stock following the reverse stock split will remain at the level required for continuing compliance with that requirement. It is not uncommon for the market price of a company’s common stock to decline in the period following a reverse stock split. If the market price of our Common Stock declines following the effectuation of the reverse stock split, the percentage decline may be greater than would occur in the absence of a reverse stock split. In any event, other factors unrelated to the number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding, such as negative financial or operational results, could decline.adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock and jeopardize our ability to meet or maintain the Nasdaq Capital Market’s minimum bid price requirement.

Even if the reverse stock split increases the market price of our common stock and we meet the initial listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market, there can be no assurance that we will be able to comply with the continued listing standards of the Nasdaq Capital Market, a failure of which could result in a de-listing of our common stock.

The Nasdaq Capital Market requires that the trading price of its listed stocks remain above one dollar in order for the stock to remain listed. If a listed stock trades below one dollar for more than 30 consecutive trading days, then it is subject to delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market. In addition, to maintain a listing on the lowerNasdaq Capital Market, we must satisfy minimum financial and other continued listing requirements and standards, including those regarding director independence and independent committee requirements, minimum stockholders’ equity, and certain corporate governance requirements. If we are unable to satisfy these requirements or standards, we could be subject to delisting, which would have a negative effect on the price of our Common Stock and would impair your ability to sell or purchase our Common Stock when you wish to do so. In the event of a delisting, we would expect to take actions to restore our compliance with the listing requirements, but we can provide no assurance that any such action taken by us would allow our Common Stock to become listed again, stabilize the market price or improve the liquidity of our Common Stock, prevent our Common Stock from dropping below the minimum bid price requirement, or prevent future non-compliance with the listing requirements.


The reverse stock price is atsplit may decrease the time we exercise our put options,liquidity of the more shares of our common stock we will have to issue to Peak One in order to exercise a put under the Financing Agreement. If our stock price decreases, then our existing shareholders would experience greater dilution for any given dollar amount raised through the offering.stock.

 

The perceived riskliquidity of dilution may cause our stockholders to sell theirthe shares which may cause a decline in the price of our common stock. Moreover,Common Stock may be affected adversely by the perceived risk of dilution andreverse stock split given the resulting downward pressure on our stock price could encourage investors to engage in short sales of our common stock. By increasing the number of shares offered for sale, material amounts of short selling could further contribute to progressive price declines in our common stock.


THE ISSUANCE OF SHARES PURSUANT TO THE PEAK ONE FINANCING AGREEMENT MAY HAVE A SIGNIFICANT DILUTIVE EFFECT.

Depending on the number of shares we issue pursuant to the Peak One Financing Agreement, it could have a significant dilutive effect upon our existing shareholders. Although thereduced number of shares that we may issue pursuant towill be outstanding following the Financing Agreement will vary based on ourreverse stock price (the higher our stock price, the less shares we have to issue), there may be a potential dilutive effect to our shareholders, based on different potential future stock prices,split, especially if the full amountmarket price of our Common Stock does not increase as a result of the Financing Agreement is realized. Dilution is based upon commonreverse stock putsplit. In addition, the reverse stock split may increase the number of shareholders who own odd lots (less than 100 shares) of our Common Stock, creating the potential for such shareholders to Peak Oneexperience an increase in the cost of selling their shares and the stock price discounted to 88% purchase price of the lowest closing price during the pricing period.greater difficulty effecting such sales.

 

PEAK ONE WILL PAY LESS THAN THE THEN-PREVAILING MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK WHICH COULD CAUSE THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK TO DECLINE.

Our commonFollowing the reverse stock to be issued undersplit, the Peak One Financing Agreement will be purchased at a 12% discount, or 88% of the lowest closing price for the Company’s common stock during the ten (10) consecutive trading days immediately preceding the Purchase Date (as defined in the Peak one Financing Agreement).

Peak One has a financial incentive to sell our shares immediately upon receiving them to realize the profit between the discounted price and theresulting market price. If Peak One sells our shares, the price of our common stock may decrease. If our stock price decreases, Peak Onenot attract new investors, including institutional investors, and may have further incentive to sell such shares. Accordingly,not satisfy the discounted sales price ininvesting requirements of those investors. Consequently, the Financing Agreement may cause the pricetrading liquidity of our common stock may not improve.

Although we believe that a higher market price of our Common Stock may help generate greater or broader investor interest, there can be no assurance that the reverse stock split will result in a share price that will attract new investors, including institutional investors. In addition, there can be no assurance that the market price of our Common Stock will satisfy the investing requirements of those investors. As a result, the trading liquidity of our Common Stock may not necessarily improve.


USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate that our net proceeds from the sale of           shares of Units in this offering at the offering price of $      per share Unit will be approximately $8.5 million, after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts as well as estimated offering expenses payable by us. If the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full, we estimate that our net proceeds will be approximately $          .

We intend to decline.use the net proceeds of this offering as follows: approximately 40% of the net proceeds (approximately $3.5 million) to repay the Term Loan B Note owed to Post Road whose proceeds were used to fund the Nexogy acquisition; approximately 20% of the net proceeds (approximately $1.5 million) to fund potential acquisitions although we do not have any agreements at this time to potentially acquire other entities; approximately 40% of the net proceeds (approximately $3.5 million) for working capital and other general corporate purposes; and one-time cash payments to officers of the Company in the approximate aggregate amount of $170,000 ($75,000 to be paid to Art Smith, our CEO, $60,000 to be paid to Antonio Estrada, our CFO, and $35,000 to be paid to Craig Clement, our Executive Chairman) upon the Company listing on a primary stock exchange, provided that each recipient of such cash payment may elect to receive Common Stock or apply such amount towards the exercise of vested stock options in lieu of the cash payment.

The Term Loan B Note bears interest for the period commencing on the Closing Date (November 17, 2020) through the date Term Loan B is paid in full in cash or same day funds at a rate equal to (A) LIBOR (with a set Interest Period), plus (B) 12.0% per annum, plus (C) (i) one and twenty five hundredths (1.25) times the original principal amount of the Term Loan B Note if repaid following June 30, 2021 and on or before September 30, 2021, or (ii) one and thirty hundredths (1.30) times the original principal amount of the Term Loan B Note if repaid following September 30, 2021 and on or before December 31, 2021.

A $           increase (decrease) in the public offering price of $           per Unit, would increase (decrease) the net proceeds of this offering by assuming that the number of Units offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. An increase (decrease) in the numner of Units offered by us by 250,000 Units would increase (decrease) the expected net proceeds of the offering to us by approximately $ ___ million assuming that the assumed public offering price per Unit remains as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus.

The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures will depend upon numerous factors, including the amount of proceeds actually raised in this offering and any cash generated by our operations. We, therefore, cannot predict the relative allocation of net proceeds that we receive in this offering and may allocate it differently than described above. As a result, management will have broad discretion over the deployment of the net proceeds from this offering.


DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

We will determine at what price we may sell the shares of Common Stock and the Warrants offered by this prospectus. On August 10, 2021, the last reported sales price for our Common Stock as quoted on the OTCQB was $0.13 per share. The offering price of the Common Stock and the Warrants has been negotiated between the underwriters and the Company. The principal factors to be considered when determining the public offering price include:

our negotiation with the underwriters;

the information set forth in this prospectus;

our history and prospects and the history and prospects for the industry in which we compete;

our past and present financial performance;

our prospects for future earnings and the present state of our development;

the general condition of the securities market at the time of this offering;

the recent market prices of, and demand for, publicly traded common stock of generally comparable companies; and

other factors deemed relevant by the Representative and us.

The estimated public offering price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus is subject to change as a result of market conditions and other factors.

DILUTION

If you invest in our current expectationsshares in this offering, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per share of Common Stock that is part of the Unit and the as adjusted net tangible book value per share of Common Stock immediately after this offering.

Our historical net tangible book value as of April 30, 2021, was approximately ($28,254,000), or forecasts($0.20) per share of future events. You can identify these statementsCommon Stock. Our historical net tangible book value is the amount of our total tangible assets less our liabilities. Historical net tangible book value per share of Common Stock is our historical net tangible book value divided by the factnumber of outstanding shares of Common Stock as of April 30, 2021. 

Our as adjusted net tangible book value as of April 30, 2021 was $           per share of Common Stock. As adjusted net tangible book value per share represents our total tangible assets less our total liabilities, divided by the number of outstanding Common Stock, after giving effect

to the issuance and sale of the Units by us in this offering at the public offering price of $          per Unit, after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and the estimated offering expenses payable by us.

After giving effect to this offering, at a public offering price of $           per Unit, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our net tangible book value on a as adjusted basis as of April 30, 2021, would have been $           per share of Common Stock. This amount represents an immediate increase in as adjusted net tangible book value of $           per share of Common Stock to our existing shareholders and an immediate dilution of $           per share of Common Stock to new investors purchasing Units in this offering. We determine dilution by subtracting the s adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering from the amount of cash that theya new investor paid for a Unit.

The following table illustrates this dilution:

Public offering price per Unit $ 
Net tangible book value per Common Stock as of April 30, 2021 $(0.20)
Increase in as adjusted net tangible book value per share attributable to this offering   
As adjusted net tangible book value per share, after this offering   
Dilution per share to new investors in this offering $ 

A $           increase (decrease) in the public offering price of $           per Unit, would increase (decrease) the as adjusted net tangible book value per share by $           , and increase (decrease) dilution to new investors by $           per share, in each case assuming that the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

The foregoing discussion and table do not relate strictlyconsider further dilution to historicalnew investors that could occur upon the exercise of outstanding warrants having a per share exercise or current facts. Forward-lookingconversion price less than the per share offering price to the public in this offering.

If the underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase additional Units in this offering, the as adjusted net tangible book value after the offering would be $           per share, the increase in net tangible book value to existing shareholders would be $           per share, and the dilution to new investors would be $           per share, in each case at a public offering price of $           per share. 

The number of shares of Common Stock that will be outstanding after this offering is based on 137,858,000 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of April 30, 2021, and excludes the following as of that date:

9,230,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options, with a weighted-average exercise price of $0.17 per share;
109,836,179 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants, with a weighted-average exercise price of $0.02 per share; and

Overview

Digerati Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (including our subsidiaries, “we,” “us,” “Company” or “Digerati”), through its operating subsidiaries in Texas and Florida, Shift8 Networks, Inc., d/b/a, T3 Communications, T3 Communications, Inc. and Nexogy, provides cloud services specializing in Unified Communications as a Service (“UCaaS”) solutions for the business market. Our product line includes a portfolio of Internet-based telephony products and services delivered through our cloud application platform and session-based communication network and network services including Internet broadband, fiber, mobile broadband, and cloud WAN solutions (SD WAN). Our services are baseddesigned to provide enterprise-class, carrier-grade services to the small-to-medium-sized business (“SMB”) at cost-effective monthly rates. Our UCaaS or cloud communication services include fully hosted IP/PBX, mobile applications, Voice over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) transport, SIP trunking, and customized VoIP services all delivered Only in the Cloud™.

As a provider of cloud communications solutions to the SMB, we are seeking to capitalize on assumptions management believesthe migration by businesses from the legacy telephone network to the Internet Protocol (“IP”) telecommunication network and the migration from hardware-based on-premise telephone systems to software-based communication systems in the cloud. Most SMBs are reasonable. However,lagging in technical capabilities and advancement and seldom reach the economies of scale that their larger counterparts enjoy, due to their achievement of a critical mass and ability to deploy a single solution to a large number of workers. SMBs are typically unable to afford comprehensive enterprise solutions and, therefore, need to integrate a combination of business solutions to meet their needs. Cloud computing has revolutionized the industry and opened the door for businesses of all sizes to gain access to enterprise applications with affordable pricing. This especially holds true for cloud telephony applications, but SMBs are still a higher-touch sale that requires customer support for system integration, network installation, cabling, and troubleshooting. We have placed a significant emphasis on that “local” touch when selling, delivering, and supporting our services which we believe will differentiate us from the national providers that are experiencing high attrition rates due to poor customer support.

The adoption of cloud communication services is being driven by the convergence of several market trends, including the increasing costs of maintaining installed legacy communications systems, the fragmentation resulting from use of multiple on-premise systems, and the proliferation of personal smartphones used in the workplace. Today, businesses are increasingly looking for an affordable path to modernizing their communications system to improve productivity, business performance and customer experience.

Our cloud solutions offer the SMB reliable, robust, and full-featured services at affordable monthly rates that eliminates high-cost capital expenditures and provides for integration with other cloud-based systems.

The cost of services increased by $762,000, or 100%, from the three months ended April 30, 2020, to the three months ended April 30, 2021. The increase in cost of services is primarily attributed to the consolidation of various networks as part of the increase in total customers between periods due to the acquisitions of Nexogy and ActivePBX.

Digerati’s consolidated financial statements for the nine months ending April 30, 2021, have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. Since the Company’s inception in 1993, Digerati has incurred net losses and accumulated a deficit of approximately $104,166,000 and a working capital deficit of approximately $22,924,000 which raises doubt about Digerati’s ability to continue as a going concern.

We are currently taking initiatives to reduce our overall cash deficiencies on a monthly basis. During fiscal 2021 certain members of our management team have taken a significant portion of their compensation in Common Stock to reduce the depletion of our available cash. To strengthen our business, we intend to adopt best practices from or recent acquisitions and invest in a marketing and sales strategy to grow our monthly recurring revenue; we anticipate utilizing our value-added resellers and channel partners to tap into new sources of revenue streams, we have also secured various agent agreements to accelerate revenue growth. In addition, we will continue to focus on selling a greater number of comprehensive services to our existing customer base. Further, in an effort to increase our revenues, we will continue to evaluate the acquisition of various assets with emphasis in VoIP Services and Cloud Communication Services. As a result, during the due diligence process we anticipate incurring significant legal and professional fees.


Management believes that available resources as of April 30, 2021, will not be sufficient to fund the Company’s operations, debt service and corporate expenses over the next 12 months. The Company’s ability to continue to meet its obligations and to achieve its business objectives is dependent upon, and other things, raising additional capital, issuing stock-based compensation to certain members of the executive management team in lieu of cash, or generating sufficient revenue in excess of costs. At such time as the Company requires additional funding, the Company will seek to secure such best-efforts funding from various possible sources, including equity or debt financing, sales of assets, or collaborative arrangements. If the Company raises additional capital through the issuance of equity securities or securities convertible into equity, stockholders will experience dilution, and such securities may have rights, preferences, or privileges senior to those of the holders of Common Stock or convertible senior notes. If the Company raises additional funds by issuing debt, the Company may be subject to limitations on its operations, through debt covenants or other restrictions. If the Company obtains additional funds through arrangements with collaborators or strategic partners, the Company may be required to relinquish its rights to certain technologies. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional funds or raise them on acceptable terms. If the Company is unable to obtain financing on acceptable terms, it may be unable to execute its business plan, the Company could be required to curtail its operations, and the Company may not be able to pay off its obligations, if and when they come due.

Our current cash expenses are expected to be approximately $750,000 per month, including wages, rent, utilities, corporate expenses, and legal professional fees associated with potential acquisitions. As described elsewhere herein, we are not generating sufficient cash from operations to pay for our corporate and ongoing operating expenses, or to pay our current liabilities. As of April 30, 2021, our total liabilities were approximately $32,430,000, which included $17,340,000 in derivative liabilities. We will continue to use our available cash on hand to cover our deficiencies in operating expenses.

We estimate that we need approximately $65,000 per month of additional working capital to fund our corporate expenses during Fiscal 2021.

We have been successful in raising debt capital and equity capital in the past and as described in Notes 6, 7, and 8 to our consolidated financial statements. We have financing efforts in place to continue to raise cash through debt and equity offerings. Although we have successfully completed financings and reduced expenses in the past, we cannot assure you that our plans to address these matters in the future will be successful.

The Company applies a five-step approach in determining the amount and timing of revenue to be recognized: (1) identifying the contract with a customer, (2) identifying the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (5) recognizing revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied. Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is recognized at the time control of the products transfers to the customer.

Service Revenue. Service revenue from subscriptions to the Company’s cloud-based technology platform is recognized over time on a ratable basis over the contractual subscription term beginning on the date that the platform is made available to the customer. Payments received in advance of subscription services being rendered are recorded as a deferred revenue. Usage fees, either bundled or not bundled, are recognized when the Company has a right to invoice. Professional services for configuration, system integration, optimization, customer training and/or education are primarily billed on a fixed-fee basis and are performed by the Company directly. Alternatively, customers may choose to perform these services themselves or engage their own third-party service providers. Professional services revenue is recognized over time, generally as services are activated for the customer.

Product Revenue. The Company recognizes product revenue for telephony equipment at a point in time, when transfer of control has occurred, which is generally upon delivery. Sales returns are recorded as a reduction to revenue estimated based on historical experience.

Cloud software and service revenue $6,212  $5,847 
Product revenue  67   193 
Total operating revenues $6,279  $6,040 

Contract Assets. Contract assets are recorded for those parts of the contract consideration not yet invoiced but for which the performance obligations are completed. The revenue is recognized when the customer receives services or equipment for a reduced consideration at the onset of an arrangement; for example, when the initial month’s services or equipment are discounted. Contract assets are included in prepaid and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets, depending on if their reduction is recognized during the succeeding 12-month period or beyond. Contract assets as of April 30, 2021, and July 31, 2020, were $13,260 and $5,980, respectively.

Deferred Income. Deferred income represents billings or payment received in advance of revenue recognition and is recognized upon transfer of control. Balances consist primarily of annual plan subscription services, for services not yet provided as of the balance sheet date. Deferred revenues that will be recognized during the succeeding 12-month period are recorded as current deferred revenues in the consolidated balance sheets, with the remainder recorded as other noncurrent liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Deferred income as of April 30, 2021, and July 31, 2020, were $43,000 and $148,000, respectively.

Customer Deposits. The Company in some instances requires customers to make deposits for equipment, installation charges and training. As equipment is installed and training takes places the deposits are then applied to revenue. As of April 30, 2021, and July 31, 2020, Digerati’s customer deposits balance was $131,000 and $131,000, respectively

Costs to Obtain a Customer Contract. Sales commissions are paid upon collections of related revenue and are expensed during the same period. Sales commissions for the nine months ended April 30, 2021, and April 30, 2020, were $576,476 and $51,953, respectively.

Direct Costs - Cloud software and service. We incur bandwidth and colocation charges in connection with our UCaaS or cloud communication services. The bandwidth charges are incurred as part of the connectivity between our customers to allow them access to our various services. We also incur costs from underlying providers for fiber, Internet broadband, and telecommunication circuits in connection with our data and connectivity solutions.

Goodwill, Intangible Assets, and Long-Lived Assets. Goodwill is carried at cost and is not amortized. The Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis at the end of each fiscal year, relying on a number of factors including operating results, business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows and marketplace data. Company management uses its judgment in assessing whether goodwill has become impaired between annual impairment tests according to specifications set forth in ASC 350. The Company completed an evaluation of goodwill at July 31, 2020 and 2019 and determined that there was no impairment.


The fair value of the Company’s reporting unit is dependent upon the Company’s estimate of future cash flows and other factors. The Company’s estimates of future cash flows include assumptions concerning future operating performance and economic conditions and may differ from actual future cash flows. Estimated future cash flows are adjusted by an appropriate discount rate derived from the Company’s market capitalization plus a suitable control premium at date of the evaluation.

The financial and credit market volatility directly impacts the Company’s fair value measurement through the Company’s weighted average cost of capital that the Company uses to determine its discount rate and through the Company’s stock price that the Company uses to determine its market capitalization. Therefore, changes in the stock price may also affect the amount of impairment recorded.

The Company recognizes an acquired intangible asset apart from goodwill whenever the intangible asset arises from contractual or other legal rights, or when it can be separated or divided from the acquired entity and sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged, either individually or in combination with a related contract, asset or liability. Such intangibles are amortized over their useful lives. Impairment losses are recognized if the carrying amount of an intangible asset subject to amortization is not recoverable from expected future cash flows and its carrying amount exceeds its fair value.

The Company reviews its long-lived assets, including property and equipment, identifiable intangibles, and goodwill annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. To determine recoverability of its long-lived assets, the Company evaluates the probability that future undiscounted net cash flows will be less than the carrying amount of the assets.

Business combinations. Each investment in a business is being measured and determined whether the investment should be accounted for as a cost-basis investment, an equity investment, a business combination, or a common control transaction. An investment in which the Company do not place undue reliancehave a controlling interest and which the Company is not the primary beneficiary but where the Company has the ability to exert significant influence is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. For those investments that we account for in accordance ASC 805, Business Combinations, the Company records the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the management’s estimate of their fair values on the date of the business combination. The assessment of the estimated fair value of each of these can have a material effect on the reported results as intangible assets are amortized over various lives. Furthermore, according to ASC 805-50-30-5, when accounting for a transfer of assets or exchange of shares between entities under common control, the entity that receives the net assets or the equity interests shall initially measure the recognized assets and liabilities transferred at their carrying amounts in the accounts of the transferring entity at the date of transfer.

Stock-based compensation. In June 2018 FASB adopted the Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Non-employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This update simplifies the accounting for non-employee share-based payment transactions by expanding the scope of Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from non-employees. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within that reporting period. The Company adopted the updated standard as of May 1, 2018, adopting this guidance did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. During FY 2020 and 2019, the Company issued 21,811,100 common shares and 1,827,927 common shares, respectively to various employees as part of our profit sharing-plan contribution and stock in lieu of cash. At the time of issuance during FY 2020 and 2019 we recognized stock-based compensation expense of approximately $1,127,000 and $1,044,000, respectively equivalent to the market value of the shares issued calculated based on the share’s closing price at the grant dates.

Derivative financial instruments. Digerati does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. However, Digerati analyzes its convertible instruments and free-standing instruments such as warrants for derivative liability accounting.

For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date. Any changes in fair value is recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense for each reporting period. For derivative notes payable conversion options Digerati uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value the derivative instruments.

The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument is probable within the next 12 months from the balance sheet date.


Treasury Shares. As a result of entering into various convertible debt instruments which contained a variable conversion feature with no floor, warrants with fixed exercise price, and convertible notes with fixed conversion price or with a conversion price floor, we reserved 25,000,000 treasury shares for consideration for future conversions and exercise of warrants, for convertible notes with fixed conversion price, notes with variable conversion feature with a floor and warrants with a conversion price floor. The Company will evaluate the reserved treasury shares on a quarterly basis, and if necessary, reserve additional treasury shares. As of April 30, 2021, we believe that the treasury share reserved are sufficient for any forward-looking statements. Further, forward-looking statements speakfuture conversions of these instruments. As a result, these debt instruments and warrants are excluded from derivative consideration.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. A fair value hierarchy is used which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The fair value hierarchy based on the three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.

For certain of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of our long-term debt approximates its fair value based on the quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or the current rates offered to us for debt of the same remaining maturities.

Our derivative liabilities as of April 30, 2021, and July 31, 2020, of $17,339,843 and $606,123, respectively.

The following table as of July 31, 2020 and April 30, 2021 provides the fair value of the derivative financial instruments measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs:

BUSINESS

Overview

Digerati Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (including our subsidiaries, “we,” “us,” “Company” or “Digerati”), through its operating subsidiaries in Texas and Florida, Shift8 Networks, Inc., dba, T3 Communications (“T3”) and T3 Communications, Inc. (“T3”), respectively, provides cloud services specializing in Unified Communications as a Service (“UCaaS”) solutions for the business market. Our product line includes a portfolio of Internet-based telephony products and services delivered through our cloud application platform and session-based communication network and network services including Internet broadband, fiber, mobile broadband, and cloud WAN solutions (SD WAN). Our services are designed to provide enterprise-class, carrier-grade services to the small-to-medium-sized business (“SMB”) at cost-effective monthly rates. Our UCaaS or cloud communication services include fully hosted IP/PBX, mobile applications, Voice over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) transport, SIP trunking, and customized VoIP services all delivered Only in the Cloud™.

As a provider of cloud communications solutions to the SMB, we are seeking to capitalize on the migration by businesses from the legacy telephone network to the Internet Protocol (“IP”) telecommunication network and the migration from hardware-based on-premise telephone systems to software-based communication systems in the cloud. Most SMBs are lagging in technical capabilities and advancement and seldom reach the economies of scale that their larger counterparts enjoy, due to their achievement of a critical mass and ability to deploy a single solution to a large number of workers. SMBs are typically unable to afford comprehensive enterprise solutions and, therefore, need to integrate a combination of business solutions to meet their needs. Cloud computing has revolutionized the industry and opened the door for businesses of all sizes to gain access to enterprise applications with affordable pricing. This especially holds true for cloud telephony applications, but SMBs are still a higher-touch sale that requires customer support for system integration, network installation, cabling, and troubleshooting. We have placed a significant emphasis on that “local” touch when selling, delivering, and supporting our services which we believe will differentiate us from the national providers that are experiencing high attrition rates due to a poor customer support.

The adoption of cloud communication services is being driven by the convergence of several market trends, including the increasing costs of maintaining installed legacy communications systems, the fragmentation resulting from use of multiple on-premise systems, and the proliferation of personal smartphones used in the workplace. Today, businesses are increasingly looking for an affordable path to modernizing their communications system to improve productivity, business performance and customer experience. Most recently, the COVID-19 Pandemic has increased demand for communication systems that support remote working environments.

Our cloud solutions offer the SMB reliable, robust, and full-featured services at affordable monthly rates that eliminates high-cost capital expenditures and provides for integration with other cloud-based systems.

Recent Developments

Nexogy Merger

On November 17, 2020, T3 Nevada’s wholly owned subsidiary, Nexogy Acquisition, Inc., merged with and into Nexogy, Inc. (“Nexogy”) resulting in Nexogy becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of T3 Nevada (the “Merger”). Nexogy is a leading provider in South Florida of Unified Communications as a Service and managed services, offering a portfolio of cloud-based solutions to the high-growth SMB market.

The purchase price for Nexogy was $9 million in cash, plus an additional $452,000 in initial excess net working capital. In addition, the Company anticipates adjusting the initial networking capital by approximately $179,000 to reflect additional asset value and other liabilities identified. Of the $9 million, $900,000 was placed in an indemnity escrow account and $50,000 of the $9 million was placed in a working capital escrow account. In addition, at the closing of the Merger, T3 Nevada paid a number of Nexogy’s liabilities which were included in the $9 million purchase price.


ActivePBX Asset Purchase

On November 17, 2020, our indirect, wholly owned subsidiary, T3 Communications, Inc., a Florida corporation (“T3 Florida”), executed and closed on an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with ActiveServe, Inc., a Florida corporation (“Seller”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, T3 Florida acquired the customer base, certain equipment, certain intellectual property, inventory, contract rights, software and other licenses and miscellaneous assets used in connection with the operation of Seller’s telecommunications business known as ActivePBX (collectively, the “Purchased Assets”).

The aggregate purchase price for the Purchased Assets was $2,555,000 in cash, subject to adjustment as provided therein (the “Purchase Price”). $1,190,000 of the Purchase Price was payable at closing, with $50,000 of such amount being withheld by T3 Florida for a period of 12 months to cover part of potential future indemnification obligations of Seller to T3 Florida due to Seller’s breaches, if any, of any representations and warranties made to T3 Florida by Seller under the Purchase Agreement, and $40,000 of such amount being credited to T3 Florida against a payment in that amount made by T3 Florida to Seller pursuant to the Second Amendment to Letter of Intent between Seller and T3 Florida dated as of October 15, 2020.

Part of the Purchase Price is payable in 8 equal quarterly payments of $136,250, subject to T3 Florida achieving quarterly post-purchase recurring revenues under monthly contracts or subscriptions from the acquired customer base, excluding charges for taxes, regulatory fees, additional set-up fees, equipment purchases or lease, and consulting fees. To the extent that a quarterly revenue threshold is not reached, the amount of the corresponding quarterly payment shall be reduced on a proportional basis. T3 Florida’s $1,190,000 payment obligation is represented by a promissory note of T3 Florida in the form included as an exhibit to the Purchase Agreement. The note, in turn, is subject to the Subordination Agreement, included as an Exhibit to the Purchase Agreement, among Seller, the Company’s parent, T3 Nevada, and Post Road Administrative, LLC, in its capacity as administrative agent for the Post Road lenders. $275,000 of the Purchase Price (the “Customer Renewal Value”) represents an incentive earn-out to be paid with respect to Seller’s customer accounts which are transferred to T3 Florida at closing, that are renewed, expanded and/or revised with T3 Florida for a minimum term of twelve months with an auto-renewal for 12 months.

In connection with the Purchase Agreement, we entered into Consulting Agreements and a Non-Compete Agreement with each of Alex Gonzalez and Jose Gonzalez, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Technology Officer of Seller.

Credit Agreement and Notes

On November 17, 2020, T3 Communications, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“T3 Nevada”), a majority owned subsidiary of Digerati Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) and the Company’s other subsidiaries entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Post Road Administrative LLC and its affiliate Post Road Special Opportunity Fund II LLP (collectively, “Post Road”). The Company is a party to certain sections of the Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, Post Road will provide T3 Nevada with a secured loan of up to $20,000,000 (the “Loan”), with initial loans of $10,500,000 pursuant to the issuance of a Term Loan A Note and $3,500,000 pursuant to the issuance of a Term Loan B Note, each funded on November 17, 2020, and an additional $6,000,000 on loans, in increments of $1,000,000 as requested by T3 Nevada before the 18 month anniversary of the initial funding date to be lent pursuant to the issuance of a Delayed Draw Term Note.

The Term Loan A and Delayed Draw Term Notes have maturity dates of November 17, 2024 and an interest rate of LIBOR (with a minimum rate of 1.5%) plus twelve percent (12%). Term Loan A is non-amortized (interest only payments) through the maturity date and contains an option for the Company to pay interest in kind (PIK) for up to five percent (5%) of the interest rate in year one, four percent (4%) in year two and three percent (3%) in year three.

Term Loan B has a maturity date of December 31, 2021 and an interest rate of LIBOR (with a minimum rate of 1.5%) plus twelve percent (12%). Term Loan B is non-amortized (interest only payments) through the maturity date and contains an option for the Company to pay interest in kind (PIK) for up to five percent (5%) of the interest rate in year one, four percent (4%) in year two and three percent (3%) in year three.

Permitted use of proceeds for the initial $14,000,000 of the Loan included approximately $9.452 million for the purchase price for the merger of Nexogy with and into an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company described above, $1.190 million for the purchase price and transaction fees of certain assets of ActiveServe, Inc. described above, $1.487 million for the payment in full of outstanding debts owed and accrued interest to three creditors, including the secured creditor Thermo Communication, Inc., the payment of approximately $464,000 paid to Post Road, and recognized as deferred financing cost, and will be amortized over the terms of the notes. In addition, the Company expensed $430,000 in legal fees associated to the acquisitions and financing.


The Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and indemnification provisions. The Credit Agreement also contains affirmative and negative covenants with respect to operation of the business and properties of the loan parties as well as financial performance.

T3 Nevada’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a first-priority security interest in all of the assets of T3 Nevada and guaranteed by the other subsidiaries of the Company pursuant to the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement, dated November 17, 2020, by and among T3 Nevada, the Company’s other subsidiaries, and Post Road Administrative LLC (the “Guaranty and Collateral Agreement”). In addition, T3 Nevada’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are, pursuant to a Pledge Agreement (the “Pledge Agreement”), secured by a pledge of a first priority security interest in T3 Nevada’s 100% equity ownership of each of T3 Nevada’s operating companies.

Warrant

In connection with the Credit Agreement, on November 17, 2020, the Company issued a Warrant to Post Road Special Opportunity Fund II LP (the “Warrant”) to purchase, initially, twenty-five percent (25%) of the Company’s total shares (the “Warrant”), calculated on a fully diluted basis as of the date of issuance (the “Warrant Shares”) and subject to a reduction to fifteen percent (15%) as described below.

The number of Warrant Shares is adjustable to allow the holder to maintain, subject to certain share issuances that are exceptions, the right to purchase twenty-five percent (25%) of the Company’s total shares, calculated on a fully diluted basis. The Warrant has an exercise price of $0.01 per share and the Warrant expires on November 17, 2030. Seventy-five percent (75%) of the Warrant Shares are immediately fully vested and not subject to forfeiture at any time for any reason. The remaining twenty-five percent (25%) of the Warrant Shares are subject to forfeiture based on the Company achieving certain performance targets which, if achieved, would result in twenty percent (20%) warrant coverage. If the minority shareholders of T3 Nevada convert their T3 Nevada shares into shares of the Common Stock, the Warrant Shares percentage shall also be lowered such that when combined with the achievement of the performance targets, the warrant coverage could be reduced to fifteen percent (15%).

In connection with the issuance of the Warrant, the three executives of the Company, Art Smith, Antonio Estrada, and Craig Clement entered into a Tag-Along Agreement (the “Tag-Along Agreement”) whereby they are made,agreed that the holder of the Warrant or Warrant Share will have the right to participate or “tag-along” in any agreements to sell any shares of their Common Stock that such executives enter into. The Company also agreed, in connection with the issuance of the Warrant and unless required by law, we expressly disclaim any obligation or undertakingpursuant to publicly update anya Board Observer Agreement (the “Board Observer Agreement”), to grant Post Road the right to appoint a representative to each of themthe boards of directors of the Company and each of its subsidiaries, to attend all board meeting in light of new information, future events, or otherwise.a non-voting observer capacity.

We also offer remote network monitoring, data backup and disaster recovery.


Voice over Internet Protocol Networks

The basic technology of traditional telecommunications systems was designed for slow mechanical switches. Communications over the traditional telephone network are routed through circuits that must dedicate all circuit resources to each call from its inception until the call ends, regardless of whether anyone is actually talking on the circuit. This circuit-switching technology incurs a significant cost per call and does not receive any proceedsefficiently support the integration of voice with data services. Data networks, however, were designed for electronic switching. They break the data stream into small, individually addressed packages of data (“packets”) that are routed independently of each other from the saleorigin to the destination. Therefore, they do not require a fixed amount of bandwidth to be reserved between the origin and destination of each call and they do not waste bandwidth when it is not being used for actual transmission of information. This allows multiple voice or voice and data calls to be pooled, resulting in these networks being able to carry more calls with an equal amount of bandwidth. Moreover, they do not require the same complex switching methods required by traditional voice telephone networks, instead using a multiplicity of routers to direct each packet to its destination and automatically routing packets around blockages, congestion or outages.

Packet switching can be used within a data network or across networks, including the public Internet. The Internet itself is not a single data network owned by any single entity, but rather a loose interconnection of networks belonging to many owners that communicate using the Internet Protocol. By converting voice signals to digital data and handling the voice signals as data, it can be transmitted through the more efficient switching networks designed for data transmissions and through the Internet using the Internet Protocol. The transmission of voice signals as digitalized data streams over the Internet is known as VoIP. A VoIP network has the following advantages over traditional networks:

Simplification: An integrated infrastructure that supports all forms of communication allows more standardization, a smaller equipment complement, and less equipment management.

Network Efficiency: The integration of voice and data fills up the data communication channels efficiently, thus providing bandwidth consolidation and reduction of the costs associated with idle bandwidth. This combined infrastructure can support dynamic bandwidth optimization and a fault tolerant design. The differences between the traffic patterns of voice and data offer further opportunities for significant efficiency improvements.

Co-existence with traditional communication mediums: IP telephony can be used in conjunction with existing public telephone system switches, leased and dial-up lines, PBXs and other customer premise equipment, enterprise LANs, and Internet connections. IP telephony applications can be implemented through dedicated gateways, which in turn can be based on open standards platforms for reliability and scalability.

Cost reduction: Under the VoIP network, the connection is directly to the Internet backbone and as a result the telephony access charges, and settlement fees are avoided.

The growth of voice over the Internet was limited in the past due to poor sound quality caused by technical issues such as delays in packet transmission and by bandwidth limitations related to Internet network capacity and local access constraints. However, the expansion of Internet Protocol network infrastructure, improvements in packet switching and compression technology, new software algorithms and improved hardware have substantially reduced delays in packet transmissions and resulted in superior sound quality to that of the shareslegacy telephone network.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICECloud Communications

Cloud communications are Internet-based voice and data communications where telecommunications applications, switching and storage are hosted by a third-party service provider outside of the organization using the services. Services are accessed by the user over the public Internet. Cloud telephony refers specifically to voice services and more specifically the replacement of conventional business telephone equipment (such as a PBX) with VoIP service hosted by a third-party service provider and delivered over the Internet.


We operate a cloud communication network that consists of a VoIP switching system and cloud telephony application platform. Our network allows us to provide end-to-end cloud telephony solutions designed to provide significant benefits to businesses of all sizes, with single or multiple locations. The integration of our cloud communication platform and global VoIP network allows us to provide our customers with virtually any type of telephony solution on a global basis.

Our cloud communication solutions, also known as UCaaS, are designed to minimize upfront capital costs, increase the scalability and flexibility of the customer’s communications network and service environment, provide robust features and functionality to increase productivity and reduce the overall cost of communications.

Strategy

Our strategy is to target the small to medium-sized business market and capitalize on the wave of migration from the legacy telephone network to cloud telephony. We will continue to concentrate our sales and marketing efforts on developing vertically oriented solutions for targeted markets primarily focusing on municipalities, banking, healthcare, legal services, and real estate. In addition, we will continue to partner with our distributors and Value-Added Resellers (“VARs”) to expand our customer base. Our typical VAR, also referred to as a Partner, is an information technology services firm, traditional PBX vendor, managed service provider, or systems integrator that has established relationships with businesses in its local market. These VARs are currently providing local customer support for other IT or PBX services but lack the technology infrastructure to provide cloud communication and VoIP services to their customers. Our strategy allows these VARs to focus on their strength of providing first tier support to their customers while we provide the second and third tier technical support required to operate a cloud communication and VoIP network. In addition, we transform our VARs’ business model by introducing new cloud telephony services and adding a new and lucrative recurring revenue stream that increases the VARs’ value proposition for its current and prospective customers.

Our cloud-based technology platform enables us and our VARs to deliver enhanced voice services to their business customers. The features supported on our cloud communication platform include all standard telephone features and value-added applications such as voicemail to email, VoIP peering, teleconferencing, IVR auto attendant, and dial-by-name directory. Our system provides our customers and VARs with a migration path from a traditional PBX system to a complete cloud-based PBX solution.

Our strategic initiatives to successfully meet our long-term business objectives include:

A disciplined approach to evaluating additional acquisitions as we build on the foundation created by our acquisitions in Texas and Florida in FY2018. We will continue to target local and/or regional UCaaS/cloud telephony providers which have excelled in their market with that “local” touch when serving their business customers. We believe the experience gained in integrating products, personnel, and customers will facilitate continued growth via acquisition.

A continued emphasis on our UCaaS/cloud communication business which operates in a segment of the telecommunication industry that continues to experience significant growth as businesses migrate from legacy phone systems to cloud-based telephony systems.

Enhancements to our broadband product portfolio with an emphasis on marketing leading-edge network and business continuity solutions like cloud WAN, also known as SD-WAN (Software Defined Wide-Area Network), to our customers which we anticipate will increase average revenue per customer.

Competitive Conditions

The cloud services industry, including the provisioning of cloud communications services, cloud connectivity, cloud storage and cloud computing, as well as carrier voice and data services, is highly competitive, rapidly evolving and subject to constant technological change and intense marketing by providers with similar products and services. We expect that new, smaller, but very agile competitors, specializing in providing service to regional and emerging markets at low margin and hence low cost, may have an impact on our market. Similarly, the business services market includes competitors who may be significantly larger and have substantially greater market presence, financial, technical, operational and marketing resources than we do, including Tier 1 carriers, cable companies and premise-based solutions providers that are implementing cloud communication services. In the event that such a competitor expends significant sales and marketing resources in one or several markets where we compete with them, we may not be able to compete successfully in those markets. Specialized cloud services providers, who focus on one or more cloud service or application, could adopt aggressive pricing and promotion practices that could impact our ability to compete. We also believe that competition will continue to increase, placing downward pressure on prices. Such pressure could adversely affect our gross margins if we are not able to reduce our costs commensurate with the price reductions of our competitors. In addition, the pace of technological change makes it impossible for us to predict whether we will face new competitors using different technologies to provide the same or similar services offered or proposed to be offered by us. If our competitors were to provide better and more cost-effective services than ours, we may not be able to increase our revenues or capture any significant market share.

The VoIP and Internet telephony market are highly competitive. Our competitors include major telecommunications carriers in the U.S., national UCaaS providers, and numerous small cloud telephony operators. We expect to face continuing competition based on price and service offerings from existing competitors and new market entrants in the future. The principal competitive factors in our market include price, coverage, customer service, technical response times, reliability, and network size/capacity. The competitive landscape is rapidly altering the number, identity, and competitiveness of the marketplace, and we are unable to determine with certainty the impact of potential consolidation in our industry.

Many of our competitors have substantially greater financial, technical, and marketing resources, larger customer bases, longer operating histories, greater name recognition and more established relationships in the industry than we have. As a result, certain of these competitors may be able to adopt more aggressive pricing policies that could hinder our ability to market our services. We believe that our key competitive advantages are our ability to deliver reliable, high quality voice service over the Internet in a cost-effective manner, superior customers service and our VAR distribution model. We cannot provide assurances, however, that these advantages will enable us to succeed against comparable service offerings from our competitors.

Government Regulation

VoIP and other communications services, like ours, have been subject to less regulation at the state and federal levels than traditional telecommunications services. Providers of traditional telecommunications services are subject to the highest degree of regulation, while providers of VoIP and other information services are largely exempt from most federal and state regulations governing traditional common carriers. The FCC has subjected VoIP service providers to a smaller subset of regulations that apply to traditional telecommunications service providers and has not yet classified VoIP services as either telecommunications or information. The FCC is currently examining the status of VoIP service providers and the services they provide in multiple open proceedings. In addition, many state regulatory agencies impose taxes and other surcharges on VoIP services, and certain states take the position that offerings by VoIP providers are intrastate telecommunications services and therefore subject to state regulation. These states argue that if the beginning and end points of communications are known, and if some of these communications occur entirely within the boundaries of a state, the state can regulate that offering. We believe that the FCC has preempted states from regulating VoIP offerings in the same manner as providers of traditional telecommunications services. However, this issue has not been resolved definitively as a matter of law, and it remains possible that the FCC could determine that such services are not information services, or that there could be a judicial or legislative determination that the states are not preempted from regulating VoIP services as traditional telecommunications services. We cannot predict how or when these issues will be resolved or its potential future impact on our business at this time.


The effect of any future laws, regulations, and orders on our operations, including, but not limited to, our cloud-based communications and collaboration services, cannot be determined. But as a general matter, increased regulation and the imposition of additional funding obligations increases service costs that may or may not be recoverable from our customers, which could result in making our services less competitive with traditional telecommunications services if we increase our prices or decreasing our profit margins if we attempt to absorb such costs.

Federal, state, local and foreign governmental organizations are considering other legislative and regulatory proposals that would regulate and/or tax applications running over the Internet. We cannot predict whether new taxes will be imposed on our services, and depending on the type of taxes imposed, whether and how our services would be affected thereafter. Increased regulation of the Internet may decrease its growth and hinder technological development, which may negatively impact the cost of doing business via the Internet or otherwise materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Regulation of Internet-based Telecommunication Services in the United States

 

We have the necessary authority under Section 214 of the Communications Act to operate as a domestic and international carrier. We are considered a non-dominant domestic interstate carrier subject to minimal regulation by the FCC. We are not set an offering pricerequired to obtain FCC authority to initiate or expand our domestic interstate operations, but we are required to obtain FCC approval to transfer control or discontinue service and are required to file various reports and pay various fees and assessments. In addition, we must offer service on a nondiscriminatory basis at just and reasonable rates and are subject to the FCC’s complaint jurisdiction. Generally, our international voice traffic is subject to minimal regulation by state and local jurisdictions.

We are a competitive local exchange carrier (CLEC) in Florida. We are subject to the same FCC regulations applicable to telecommunications companies, as well as regulation by the public utility commission in Florida. As a CLEC, we are generally required to register or seek certification to provide certain services, to file and update tariffs setting forth the terms, conditions and prices for our intrastate services and to comply with various consumer protection, reporting, record-keeping, surcharge collection requirements.

The FCC requires Internet voice communications service providers, such as our company, to provide E-911 service in all geographic areas covered by the traditional wire-line E-911 network. Under the FCC’s rules, Internet voice communications providers must transmit the caller’s phone number and registered location information to the appropriate public safety answering point, or PSAP, for the sharescaller’s registered hereunder,location. The FCC also requires interconnected VoIP service providers to make Universal Service Fund (“USF”) contributions. We believe that our services are currently compliant with all applicable requirements of the FCC, and we have made and are making the required contributions to the USF. However, should we at some time fail to meet certain requirements or fail to make required contributions, we could be subject to revocation of our authority to operate or to fines or penalties.

As a result of the FCC’s preemption of states’ ability to regulate certain aspects of VoIP service, and a trend in state legislatures to affirmatively deregulate VoIP services for most purposes, our VoIP services are subject to relatively few state regulatory requirements aside from collection of state and local E911 fees and state Universal Service support obligations. We believe that our VoIP services are currently compliant with all applicable state requirements, and we have made and are making the required contributions to E911, state USF, and other funds. The state regulatory framework for our VoIP services continues to evolve, so we, in conjunction with our professional advisors, monitor the actions of the various state regulatory agencies and endeavor to ensure that we are in compliance with applicable state law, including any new statutes or regulations that may be passed. However, there can be no assurance that we will become aware of all applicable requirements on a timely basis, or that we will always be fully compliant with applicable rules and regulations. Should we fail to be compliant with applicable state regulations, or to file required reports with state regulatory agencies, we could be subject to fines and/or penalties.

In addition to regulations addressing Internet telephony and broadband services, other regulatory issues relating to the Internet generally could affect our ability to provide our services. Congress has adopted legislation that regulates certain aspects of the Internet including online content, user privacy, taxation, liability for third-party activities and jurisdiction. In addition, a number of initiatives pending in Congress and state legislatures would prohibit or restrict advertising or sale of certain products and services on the Internet, which may have the effect of raising the cost of doing business on the Internet generally.


International Regulation

The regulatory treatment of Internet telephony outside of the U.S. varies widely from country to country. A number of countries that currently prohibit competition in the provision of voice telephony also prohibit Internet telephony. Other countries permit but regulate Internet telephony. Some countries will evaluate proposed Internet telephony service on a case-by-case basis and determine whether it should be regulated as a voice service or as another telecommunications service. In many countries, Internet telephony has not yet been addressed by legislation or regulation. Increased regulation of the only shares being registered are those soldInternet and/or Internet telephony providers or the prohibition of Internet telephony in one or more countries could adversely affect our business and future prospects if we decide to expand globally.

Legal Proceedings

On April 16, 2021, a lawsuit was filed against T3 Communications, Inc. (“T3”), a subsidiary of the Company, by Carolina Financial Securities, LLC (“CFS”), in North Carolina state court (Forsyth County Superior Court), claiming that T3 owes CFS a placement fee of $576,000.00 pursuant to an Engagement Letter between the Peak One Financing Agreement.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Our compensation programs are designed to meet the following objectives:

Offer compensation opportunities that attract highly qualified executives, reward outstanding initiative and achievement, and retain the leadership and skills necessary to build long-term stockholder value;

Emphasize pay-for-performance by maintaining a portion of executives’ total compensation at risk, tied to both our annual and long-term financial performance and the creation of stockholder value; and

Further our short and long-term strategic goals and values by aligning executive officer compensation with business objectives and individual performance.

Our Board of Directors believes that an executive’s compensation should be tied to the performance of the individual and the performance of the complete executive team against both financial and non-financial goals, some of which are subjective and within the discretion of the Board of Directors.

Our executive compensation program is intended to be simple and clear, and consists of the following elements (depending on individual performance):

Base salary;

Annual performance-based cash bonus;

Long-term incentives in the form of stock options; and

Benefits that are offered to executives on the same basis as our non-executive employees.

Role of Management in Determining Compensation Decisions

At the request of our Board of Directors, our management makes recommendations to our Board of Directors relating to executive compensation program design, specific compensation amounts, bonus targets, incentive plan structure and other executive compensation related matters for each of our executive officers, including our Chief Executive Officer. Our Board of Directors maintains decision-making authority with respect to these executive compensation matters.

Our Board of Directors reviews the recommendations of our management with respect to total executive compensation and each element of compensation when making pay decisions. In allocating compensation among compensation elements, we emphasize incentive, not fixed compensation to ensure that executives only receive superior pay for superior results. We equally value short- and long-term compensation because both short- and long-term results are critical to our success. In addition, our compensation program includes various benefits provided to all employees, including life insurance, health insurance and other customary benefits. The objectives and details of why each element of compensation is paid are described below.

 

Peak One will be deemedBase Salary. Our objective for paying base salaries to be an underwriter withinexecutives is to reward them for performing the meaningcore responsibilities of their positions and to provide a level of security with respect to a portion of their compensation. We consider a number of factors when setting base salaries for executives, including:

Existing salary levels;

Competitive pay practices;

Individual and corporate performance; and

Internal equity among our executives, taking into consideration their relative contributions to our success.


Long-term Incentive Awards. We award long-term incentive compensation to focus our executives on our long-term growth and stockholder return, as well as to encourage our executives to remain with us for the long-term. Long-term incentive awards are primarily in the form of grants of stock options and/or stock award pursuant to our 2015 Equity Compensation Plan (the ��Plan”). We selected this form because of the Securities Act. Any profits realizedfavorable accounting and tax treatment and the expectation of key employees in our industry that they would receive stock options and/or stock grants. We do not have pre-established target award amounts for long-term incentive grants. In determining long-term incentive awards for the Named Executive Officers, our Board of Directors relies on recommendations from our Chief Executive Officer, who considers the individual performance of the executives, the relation of the award to base salary and annual incentive compensation, and associated accounting expense. The terms of and amount of awards are made by such selling stockholder may be deemed to be underwriting commissions.our Board of Directors in accordance with the Stock Option Plan.

THE OFFERING

On January 12, 2018, we entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Financing Agreement”) with Peak One Opportunity Fund, L.P. (“Peak One”) Although we are not mandated to sell shares under the Financing Agreement, the Financing Agreement gives us the option to sell to Peak One, up to $5,000,000 worth of our common stock over the period ending twenty-four (24) months after the date this Registration Statement is deemed effective. In consideration for peak One’s execution and performance under the Financing Agreement, the Company issued 250,000 shares of Common Stock, as Commitment Shares (as defined in the Financing Agreement), to Peak One.

There is no assurance the market price of our common stock will increase in the future. The number of common shares that remain issuable may not be sufficient, dependent upon the share price, to allow us to access the full amount contemplated under the Financing Agreement. If the bid/ask spread remains the same we will not be able to place a put for the full commitment under the Financing Agreement. Based on the lowest closing price of our common stock during the ten (10) consecutive trading day period preceding the filing date of this registration statement was approximately $0.09, the registration statement covers the offer and possible sale of approximately $546,675 worth of our shares. At that price we would be able to sell shares to Peak One under the Financing Agreement at the discounted price of $0.08. At that discounted price, the 6,074,142 shares would only represent approximately $546,675, which is far below $5,000,000 (the full amount of the Financing Agreement).

The purchase price of the common stock will be set at _______ (_____%) of the lowest closing bid price of the common stock during the ten (10) consecutive trading day period immediately preceding the date on which the Company delivers a put notice to _______. In addition, there is an ownership limit for _____ of 4.99%.

Peak One is not permitted to engage in short sales involving our common stock during the term of the commitment period. In accordance with Regulation SHO, however, sales of our common stock by Peak One after delivery of a put notice of such number of shares reasonably expected to be purchased by Peak One under a put will not be deemed a short sale.

 


In addition, we must deliver the other required documents, instruments and writings required. Peak One is not required to purchase the put shares unless:

Our registration statement with respect to the resale of the shares of common stock delivered in connection with the applicable put shall have been declared effective;

We shall have obtained all material permits and qualifications required by any applicable state for the offer and sale of the registrable securities; and

We shall have filed all requisite reports, notices, and other documents with the SEC in a timely manner.

As we draw down on the equity line of credit, shares of our common stock will be sold into the market by Peak One. The sale of these shares could cause our stock price to decline. In turn, if our stock price declines and we issue more puts, more shares will come into the market, which could cause a further drop in our stock price. You should be aware that there is an inverse relationship between the market price of our common stock and the number of shares to be issued under the equity line of credit. If our stock price declines, we will be required to issue a greater number of shares under the equity line of credit. We have no obligation to utilize the full amount available under the equity line of credit.

Neither the Financing Agreement nor any of our rights or Peak One’s rights thereunder may be assigned to any other person.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Each of the selling stockholders named above and any of their pledgees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on OTC Markets or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares of our common stock are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed prices and prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at varying prices or at negotiated prices. The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

privately negotiated transactions;

broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; or

a combination of any such methods of sale.

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.

Peak One is an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act of 1933. Peak One has informed us that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the common stock of our company. Pursuant to a requirement by FINRA, the maximum commission or discount to be received by any FINRA member or independent broker-dealer may not be greater than 8% of the gross proceeds received by us for the sale of any securities being registered pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.


Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, attributable to the sale of shares will be borne by the selling stockholder. The selling stockholder may agree to indemnify any agent, dealer, or broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving sales of the shares if liabilities are imposed on that person under the Securities Act of 1933.

We are required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the registration of the shares covered by this prospectus. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933. We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of any of the shares of our common stock by the selling stockholders. We may, however, receive proceeds from the sale of our common stock under the Financing Agreement with Peak One. Neither the Financing Agreement with Peak One nor any rights of the parties under the Financing Agreement with Peak One may be assigned or delegated to any other person.

We have entered into an agreement with Peak One to keep this prospectus effective until Peak One has sold all of the common shares purchased by it under the Financing Agreement and has no right to acquire any additional shares of common stock under the Financing Agreement.

The resale shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of the common stock by the selling stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling stockholders.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

PreferredCash Position: We had a consolidated cash balance of $2,125,000 as of April 30, 2021. Net cash consumed by operating activities during the nine months ended April 30, 2021 was approximately $403,000, primarily as a result of operating expenses, that included $558,000 in stock compensation and warrant expense, amortization of debt discount of $1,827,000, loss on derivative liability of $10,860,000, depreciation and amortization expense of $1,204,000, increase in accrued expense of $1,397,000, decrease in accounts receivable of $96,000 and decrease in deferred revenue of $105,000. Additionally, we had an increase of $97,000 in accounts payable, decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $141,000, increase in inventory of $26,000 and the recognition of a gain on settlement of debt of $347,000.

Cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended April 30, 2021 was $10,336,000, which included $228,000 for the purchase of equipment and the cash paid of $10,108,000, net of cash received, for the acquisitions of VoIP assets from Nexogy and ActivePBX.

Cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended April 30, 2021, was $12,179,000. The Company secured $1,078,000 from convertible notes, net of issuance costs and discounts. In addition, the Company secured $13,036,000 from two promissory notes, net of issuance costs. (See Note 6) The Company made principal payments of $1,330,000 on various notes, principal payments of $266,000 on convertible notes, principal payments of $316,000 on related party notes, and $53,000 in principal payments on equipment financing. Overall, our net operating, investing, and financing activities during the nine months ended April 30, 2021, contributed approximately $1,440,000 of our available cash.

Digerati’s consolidated financial statements for the nine months ending April 30, 2021, have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. Since the Company’s inception in 1993, Digerati has incurred net losses and accumulated a deficit of approximately $104,166,000 and a working capital deficit of approximately $22,924,000 which raises doubt about Digerati’s ability to continue as a going concern.

We are currently taking initiatives to reduce our overall cash deficiencies on a monthly basis. During fiscal 2021 certain members of our management team have taken a significant portion of their compensation in Common Stock to reduce the depletion of our available cash. To strengthen our business, we intend to adopt best practices from or recent acquisitions and invest in a marketing and sales strategy to grow our monthly recurring revenue; we anticipate utilizing our value-added resellers and channel partners to tap into new sources of revenue streams, we have also secured various agent agreements to accelerate revenue growth. In addition, we will continue to focus on selling a greater number of comprehensive services to our existing customer base. Further, in an effort to increase our revenues, we will continue to evaluate the acquisition of various assets with emphasis in VoIP Services and Cloud Communication Services. As a result, during the due diligence process we anticipate incurring significant legal and professional fees.


Management believes that available resources as of April 30, 2021, will not be sufficient to fund the Company’s operations, debt service and corporate expenses over the next 12 months. The Company’s ability to continue to meet its obligations and to achieve its business objectives is dependent upon, and other things, raising additional capital, issuing stock-based compensation to certain members of the executive management team in lieu of cash, or generating sufficient revenue in excess of costs. At such time as the Company requires additional funding, the Company will seek to secure such best-efforts funding from various possible sources, including equity or debt financing, sales of assets, or collaborative arrangements. If the Company raises additional capital through the issuance of equity securities or securities convertible into equity, stockholders will experience dilution, and such securities may have rights, preferences, or privileges senior to those of the holders of Common Stock or convertible senior notes. If the Company raises additional funds by issuing debt, the Company may be subject to limitations on its operations, through debt covenants or other restrictions. If the Company obtains additional funds through arrangements with collaborators or strategic partners, the Company may be required to relinquish its rights to certain technologies. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional funds or raise them on acceptable terms. If the Company is unable to obtain financing on acceptable terms, it may be unable to execute its business plan, the Company could be required to curtail its operations, and the Company may not be able to pay off its obligations, if and when they come due.

Our current cash expenses are expected to be approximately $750,000 per month, including wages, rent, utilities, corporate expenses, and legal professional fees associated with potential acquisitions. As described elsewhere herein, we are not generating sufficient cash from operations to pay for our corporate and ongoing operating expenses, or to pay our current liabilities. As of April 30, 2021, our total liabilities were approximately $32,430,000, which included $17,340,000 in derivative liabilities. We will continue to use our available cash on hand to cover our deficiencies in operating expenses.

We estimate that we need approximately $65,000 per month of additional working capital to fund our corporate expenses during Fiscal 2021.

We have been successful in raising debt capital and equity capital in the past and as described in Notes 6, 7, and 8 to our consolidated financial statements. We have financing efforts in place to continue to raise cash through debt and equity offerings. Although we have successfully completed financings and reduced expenses in the past, we cannot assure you that our plans to address these matters in the future will be successful.

In addition, underGoodwill, Intangible Assets, and Long-Lived Assets. Goodwill is carried at cost and is not amortized. The Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis at the penny stock regulations, the broker-dealer is required to:

Deliver, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the penny stock market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt;

Disclose commissions payable to the broker-dealer and our registered representatives and current bid and offer quotations for the securities;

Send monthly statements disclosing recent price information pertaining to the penny stock held in a customer’s account, the account’s value, and information regarding the limited market in penny stocks; and

TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRARThe fair value of the Company’s reporting unit is dependent upon the Company’s estimate of future cash flows and other factors. The Company’s estimates of future cash flows include assumptions concerning future operating performance and economic conditions and may differ from actual future cash flows. Estimated future cash flows are adjusted by an appropriate discount rate derived from the Company’s market capitalization plus a suitable control premium at date of the evaluation.

LEGAL MATTERS

Lucosky Brookman LLP, Woodbridge, New Jersey, will pass uponcapital that the validityCompany uses to determine its discount rate and through the Company’s stock price that the Company uses to determine its market capitalization. Therefore, changes in the stock price may also affect the amount of the securities being offered by this prospectus.

EXPERTSimpairment recorded.

 

The Company recognizes an acquired intangible asset apart from goodwill whenever the intangible asset arises from contractual or other legal rights, or when it can be separated or divided from the acquired entity and sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged, either individually or in combination with a related contract, asset or liability. Such intangibles are amortized over their useful lives. Impairment losses are recognized if the carrying amount of an intangible asset subject to amortization is not recoverable from expected future cash flows and its carrying amount exceeds its fair value.

The Company reviews its long-lived assets, including property and equipment, identifiable intangibles, and goodwill annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. To determine recoverability of its long-lived assets, the Company evaluates the probability that future undiscounted net cash flows will be less than the carrying amount of the assets.

Business combinations. Each investment in a business is being measured and determined whether the investment should be accounted for as a cost-basis investment, an equity investment, a business combination, or a common control transaction. An investment in which the Company do not have a controlling interest and which the Company is not the primary beneficiary but where the Company has the ability to exert significant influence is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. For those investments that we account for in accordance ASC 805, Business Combinations, the Company records the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the management’s estimate of their fair values on the date of the business combination. The assessment of the estimated fair value of each of these can have a material effect on the reported results as intangible assets are amortized over various lives. Furthermore, according to ASC 805-50-30-5, when accounting for a transfer of assets or exchange of shares between entities under common control, the entity that receives the net assets or the equity interests shall initially measure the recognized assets and liabilities transferred at their carrying amounts in the accounts of the transferring entity at the date of transfer.

Stock-based compensation. In June 2018 FASB adopted the Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Non-employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This update simplifies the accounting for non-employee share-based payment transactions by expanding the scope of Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from non-employees. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within that reporting period. The Company adopted the updated standard as of May 1, 2018, adopting this guidance did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statementsstatements. During FY 2020 and 2019, the Company issued 21,811,100 common shares and 1,827,927 common shares, respectively to various employees as part of our profit sharing-plan contribution and stock in lieu of cash. At the time of issuance during FY 2020 and 2019 we recognized stock-based compensation expense of approximately $1,127,000 and $1,044,000, respectively equivalent to the market value of the shares issued calculated based on the share’s closing price at the grant dates.

Derivative financial instruments. Digerati does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. However, Digerati analyzes its convertible instruments and free-standing instruments such as warrants for derivative liability accounting.

For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date. Any changes in fair value is recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense for each reporting period. For derivative notes payable conversion options Digerati uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value the derivative instruments.

The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument is probable within the next 12 months from the balance sheet date.


Treasury Shares. As a result of entering into various convertible debt instruments which contained a variable conversion feature with no floor, warrants with fixed exercise price, and convertible notes with fixed conversion price or with a conversion price floor, we reserved 25,000,000 treasury shares for consideration for future conversions and exercise of warrants, for convertible notes with fixed conversion price, notes with variable conversion feature with a floor and warrants with a conversion price floor. The Company will evaluate the reserved treasury shares on a quarterly basis, and if necessary, reserve additional treasury shares. As of April 30, 2021, we believe that the treasury share reserved are sufficient for any future conversions of these instruments. As a result, these debt instruments and warrants are excluded from derivative consideration.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the Companyasset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. A fair value hierarchy is used which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The fair value hierarchy based on the three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

BUSINESS

Overview

Digerati Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (including our subsidiaries, “we,” “us,” “Company” or “Digerati”), through its operating subsidiaries in Texas and Florida, Shift8 Networks, Inc., dba, Synergy TelecomT3 Communications (“Shift8”T3”) and T3 Communications, Inc. (“T3”), respectively, provides cloud services specializing in Unified Communications as a Service (“UCaaS”) solutions for the business market. Our product line includes a portfolio of Internet-based telephony products and services delivered through our cloud application platform and session-based communication network and network services including Internet broadband, fiber, mobile broadband, and cloud WAN solutions.solutions (SD WAN). Our services are designed to provide enterprise-class, carrier-grade services to the small-to-medium-sized business (“SMB”) at cost-effective monthly rates. Our UCaaS or cloud communication services include fully hosted IP/PBX, mobile applications, Voice over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) transport, SIP trunking, and customized VoIP services all deliveredOnly in the Cloud™.

 

As a provider of cloud communications solutions to the SMB, we are seeking to capitalize on the migration by businesses from the legacy telephone network to the Internet Protocol (“IP”) telecommunication network and the migration from hardware-based on-premise telephone systems to software-based communication systems in the cloud. Most SMBs are lagging in technical capabilities and advancement and seldom reach the economies of scale that their larger counterparts enjoy, due to their achievement of a critical mass and ability to deploy a single solution to a large number of workers. SMBs are typically unable to afford comprehensive enterprise solutions and, therefore, need to integrate a combination of business solutions to meet their needs. Cloud computing has revolutionized the industry and opened the door for businesses of all sizes to gain access to enterprise applications with affordable pricing. This especially holds true for cloud telephony applications, but SMBs are still a higher-touch sale that requires customer support for system integration, network installation, cabling, and troubleshooting. We have placed a significant emphasis on that “local” touch when selling, delivering, and supporting our services which we believe will differentiate us from the national providers that are experiencing high attrition rates due to a poor customer support model.support.

 


The adoption of cloud communication services is being driven by the convergence of several market trends, including the increasing costs of maintaining installed legacy communications systems, the fragmentation resulting from use of multiple on-premise systems, and the proliferation of personal smartphones used in the workplace. Today, businesses are increasingly looking for an affordable path to modernizing their communications system to improve productivity, business performance and customer experience. Most recently, the COVID-19 Pandemic has increased demand for communication systems that support remote working environments.

 

Our cloud solutions offer the SMB reliable, robust, and full-featured services at affordable monthly rates that eliminates high-cost capital expenditures and provides for integration with other cloud-based systems.

 

Recent Developments

Nexogy Merger

On November 17, 2020, T3 Nevada’s wholly owned subsidiary, Nexogy Acquisition, Inc., merged with and into Nexogy, Inc. (“Nexogy”) resulting in Nexogy becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of T3 Nevada (the “Merger”). Nexogy is a leading provider in South Florida of Unified Communications as a Service and managed services, offering a portfolio of cloud-based solutions to the high-growth SMB market.

The purchase price for Nexogy was $9 million in cash, plus an additional $452,000 in initial excess net working capital. In addition, the Company anticipates adjusting the initial networking capital by approximately $179,000 to reflect additional asset value and other liabilities identified. Of the $9 million, $900,000 was placed in an indemnity escrow account and $50,000 of the $9 million was placed in a working capital escrow account. In addition, at the closing of the Merger, T3 Nevada paid a number of Nexogy’s liabilities which were included in the $9 million purchase price.


ActivePBX Asset Purchase

On November 17, 2020, our indirect, wholly owned subsidiary, T3 Communications, Inc., a Florida corporation (“T3 Florida”), executed and closed on an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with ActiveServe, Inc., a Florida corporation (“Seller”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, T3 Florida acquired the customer base, certain equipment, certain intellectual property, inventory, contract rights, software and other licenses and miscellaneous assets used in connection with the operation of Seller’s telecommunications business known as ActivePBX (collectively, the “Purchased Assets”).

The aggregate purchase price for the Purchased Assets was $2,555,000 in cash, subject to adjustment as provided therein (the “Purchase Price”). $1,190,000 of the Purchase Price was payable at closing, with $50,000 of such amount being withheld by T3 Florida for a period of 12 months to cover part of potential future indemnification obligations of Seller to T3 Florida due to Seller’s breaches, if any, of any representations and warranties made to T3 Florida by Seller under the Purchase Agreement, and $40,000 of such amount being credited to T3 Florida against a payment in that amount made by T3 Florida to Seller pursuant to the Second Amendment to Letter of Intent between Seller and T3 Florida dated as of October 15, 2020.

Part of the Purchase Price is payable in 8 equal quarterly payments of $136,250, subject to T3 Florida achieving quarterly post-purchase recurring revenues under monthly contracts or subscriptions from the acquired customer base, excluding charges for taxes, regulatory fees, additional set-up fees, equipment purchases or lease, and consulting fees. To the extent that a quarterly revenue threshold is not reached, the amount of the corresponding quarterly payment shall be reduced on a proportional basis. T3 Florida’s $1,190,000 payment obligation is represented by a promissory note of T3 Florida in the form included as an exhibit to the Purchase Agreement. The note, in turn, is subject to the Subordination Agreement, included as an Exhibit to the Purchase Agreement, among Seller, the Company’s parent, T3 Nevada, and Post Road Administrative, LLC, in its capacity as administrative agent for the Post Road lenders. $275,000 of the Purchase Price (the “Customer Renewal Value”) represents an incentive earn-out to be paid with respect to Seller’s customer accounts which are transferred to T3 Florida at closing, that are renewed, expanded and/or revised with T3 Florida for a minimum term of twelve months with an auto-renewal for 12 months.

In connection with the Purchase Agreement, we entered into Consulting Agreements and a Non-Compete Agreement with each of Alex Gonzalez and Jose Gonzalez, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Technology Officer of Seller.

Credit Agreement and Notes

On November 17, 2020, T3 Communications, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“T3 Nevada”), a majority owned subsidiary of Digerati Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) and the Company’s other subsidiaries entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Post Road Administrative LLC and its affiliate Post Road Special Opportunity Fund II LLP (collectively, “Post Road”). The Company is a party to certain sections of the Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, Post Road will provide T3 Nevada with a secured loan of up to $20,000,000 (the “Loan”), with initial loans of $10,500,000 pursuant to the issuance of a Term Loan A Note and $3,500,000 pursuant to the issuance of a Term Loan B Note, each funded on November 17, 2020, and an additional $6,000,000 on loans, in increments of $1,000,000 as requested by T3 Nevada before the 18 month anniversary of the initial funding date to be lent pursuant to the issuance of a Delayed Draw Term Note.

The Term Loan A and Delayed Draw Term Notes have maturity dates of November 17, 2024 and an interest rate of LIBOR (with a minimum rate of 1.5%) plus twelve percent (12%). Term Loan A is non-amortized (interest only payments) through the maturity date and contains an option for the Company to pay interest in kind (PIK) for up to five percent (5%) of the interest rate in year one, four percent (4%) in year two and three percent (3%) in year three.

Term Loan B has a maturity date of December 31, 2021 and an interest rate of LIBOR (with a minimum rate of 1.5%) plus twelve percent (12%). Term Loan B is non-amortized (interest only payments) through the maturity date and contains an option for the Company to pay interest in kind (PIK) for up to five percent (5%) of the interest rate in year one, four percent (4%) in year two and three percent (3%) in year three.

Permitted use of proceeds for the initial $14,000,000 of the Loan included approximately $9.452 million for the purchase price for the merger of Nexogy with and into an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company described above, $1.190 million for the purchase price and transaction fees of certain assets of ActiveServe, Inc. described above, $1.487 million for the payment in full of outstanding debts owed and accrued interest to three creditors, including the secured creditor Thermo Communication, Inc., the payment of approximately $464,000 paid to Post Road, and recognized as deferred financing cost, and will be amortized over the terms of the notes. In addition, the Company expensed $430,000 in legal fees associated to the acquisitions and financing.


The Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and indemnification provisions. The Credit Agreement also contains affirmative and negative covenants with respect to operation of the business and properties of the loan parties as well as financial performance.

T3 Nevada’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a first-priority security interest in all of the assets of T3 Nevada and guaranteed by the other subsidiaries of the Company pursuant to the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement, dated November 17, 2020, by and among T3 Nevada, the Company’s other subsidiaries, and Post Road Administrative LLC (the “Guaranty and Collateral Agreement”). In addition, T3 Nevada’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are, pursuant to a Pledge Agreement (the “Pledge Agreement”), secured by a pledge of a first priority security interest in T3 Nevada’s 100% equity ownership of each of T3 Nevada’s operating companies.

Warrant

In connection with the Credit Agreement, on November 17, 2020, the Company issued a Warrant to Post Road Special Opportunity Fund II LP (the “Warrant”) to purchase, initially, twenty-five percent (25%) of the Company’s total shares (the “Warrant”), calculated on a fully diluted basis as of the date of issuance (the “Warrant Shares”) and subject to a reduction to fifteen percent (15%) as described below.

The number of Warrant Shares is adjustable to allow the holder to maintain, subject to certain share issuances that are exceptions, the right to purchase twenty-five percent (25%) of the Company’s total shares, calculated on a fully diluted basis. The Warrant has an exercise price of $0.01 per share and the Warrant expires on November 17, 2030. Seventy-five percent (75%) of the Warrant Shares are immediately fully vested and not subject to forfeiture at any time for any reason. The remaining twenty-five percent (25%) of the Warrant Shares are subject to forfeiture based on the Company achieving certain performance targets which, if achieved, would result in twenty percent (20%) warrant coverage. If the minority shareholders of T3 Nevada convert their T3 Nevada shares into shares of the Common Stock, the Warrant Shares percentage shall also be lowered such that when combined with the achievement of the performance targets, the warrant coverage could be reduced to fifteen percent (15%).

In connection with the issuance of the Warrant, the three executives of the Company, Art Smith, Antonio Estrada, and Craig Clement entered into a Tag-Along Agreement (the “Tag-Along Agreement”) whereby they agreed that the holder of the Warrant or Warrant Share will have the right to participate or “tag-along” in any agreements to sell any shares of their Common Stock that such executives enter into. The Company also agreed, in connection with the issuance of the Warrant and pursuant to a Board Observer Agreement (the “Board Observer Agreement”), to grant Post Road the right to appoint a representative to each of the boards of directors of the Company and each of its subsidiaries, to attend all board meeting in a non-voting observer capacity.

The addition of these new products and services allows us to increase our value-proposition through product bundles that go beyond the voice application and to serve as a one-stop-shop for business customers seeking a comprehensive voice and data solution.

 


Voice over Internet Protocol Networks

 

The basic technology of traditional telecommunications systems was designed for slow mechanical switches. Communications over the traditional telephone network are routed through circuits that must dedicate all circuit resources to each call from its inception until the call ends, regardless of whether anyone is actually talking on the circuit. This circuit-switching technology incurs a significant cost per call and does not efficiently support the integration of voice with data services. Data networks, however, were designed for electronic switching. They break the data stream into small, individually addressed packages of data (“packets”) that are routed independently of each other from the origin to the destination. Therefore, they do not require a fixed amount of bandwidth to be reserved between the origin and destination of each call and they do not waste bandwidth when it is not being used for actual transmission of information. This allows multiple voice or voice and data calls to be pooled, resulting in these networks being able to carry more calls with an equal amount of bandwidth. Moreover, they do not require the same complex switching methods required by traditional voice telephone networks, instead using a multiplicity of routers to direct each packet to its destination and automatically routing packets around blockages, congestion or outages.

 


Packet switching can be used within a data network or across networks, including the public Internet. The Internet itself is not a single data network owned by any single entity, but rather a loose interconnection of networks belonging to many owners that communicate using the Internet Protocol. By converting voice signals to digital data and handling the voice signals as data, it can be transmitted through the more efficient switching networks designed for data transmissions and through the Internet using the Internet Protocol. The transmission of voice signals as digitalized data streams over the Internet is known as Voice over Internet Protocol or “VoIP”.VoIP. A VoIP network has the following advantages over traditional networks:

 

Simplification:An integrated infrastructure that supports all forms of communication allows more standardization, a smaller equipment complement, and less equipment management.

 

Network Efficiency:The integration of voice and data fills up the data communication channels efficiently, thus providing bandwidth consolidation and reduction of the costs associated with idle bandwidth. This combined infrastructure can support dynamic bandwidth optimization and a fault tolerant design. The differences between the traffic patterns of voice and data offer further opportunities for significant efficiency improvements.

 

Co-existence with traditional communication mediums:IP telephony can be used in conjunction with existing public telephone system switches, leased and dial-up lines, PBXs and other customer premise equipment, enterprise LANs, and Internet connections. IP telephony applications can be implemented through dedicated gateways, which in turn can be based on open standards platforms for reliability and scalability.

 

Cost reduction: Under the VoIP network, the connection is directly to the Internet backbone and as a result the telephony access charges, and settlement fees are avoided.

 

The growth of voice over the Internet was limited in the past due to poor sound quality caused by technical issues such as delays in packet transmission and by bandwidth limitations related to Internet network capacity and local access constraints. However, the expansion of Internet Protocol network infrastructure, improvements in packet switching and compression technology, new software algorithms and improved hardware have substantially reduced delays in packet transmissions and resulted in superior sound quality to that of the legacy telephone network. The continued improvement and expansion of the Internet Protocol network has resulted in the use of this technology for other communication media, including video conferencing and instant messaging.

 

Cloud Communications

 

Cloud communications are Internet-based voice and data communications where telecommunications applications, switching and storage are hosted by a third-party service provider outside of the organization using the services. Services are accessed by the user over the public Internet. Cloud telephony refers specifically to voice services and more specifically the replacement of conventional business telephone equipment (such as a PBX) with VoIP service hosted by a third-party service provider and delivered over the Internet.

 


We operate a cloud communication network that consists of a VoIP switching system and cloud telephony application platform. Our network allows us to provide end-to-end cloud telephony solutions designed to provide significant benefits to businesses of all sizes, with single or multiple locations. The integration of our cloud communication platform and global VoIP network allows us to provide our customers with virtually any type of telephony solution on a global basis.

 

Our cloud communication solutions, also known as UCaaS, are designed to minimize upfront capital costs, increase the scalability and flexibility of the customer’s communications network and service environment, provide robust features and functionality to increase productivity and reduce the overall cost of communications.

 

Strategy

 

Our strategy is to target the small to medium-sized business market and capitalize on the wave of migration from the legacy telephone network to cloud telephony. We will continue to concentrate our sales and marketing efforts on developing vertically oriented solutions for targeted markets primarily focusing on municipalities, banking, healthcare, legal services, and real estate. In addition, we will continue to partner with our distributors and Value-Added Resellers (“VARs”) to expand our customer base. Our typical VAR, also referred to as a Partner, is an information technology services firm, traditional PBX vendor, managed service provider, or systems integrator that has established relationships with businesses in its local market. These VARs are currently providing local customer support for other IT or PBX services but lack the technology infrastructure to provide cloud communication and VoIP services to their customers. Our strategy allows these VARs to focus on their strength of providing first tier support to their customers while we provide the second and third tier technical support required to operate a cloud communication and VoIP network. In addition, we transform our VARs’ business model by introducing new cloud telephony services and adding a new and lucrative recurring revenue stream that increases the VARs’ value proposition for its current and prospective customers.

 


Our cloud-based technology platform enables us and our VARs to deliver enhanced voice services to their business customers. The features supported on our cloud communication platform include all standard telephone features and value-added applications such as voicemail to email, VoIP peering, teleconferencing, IVR auto attendant, and dial-by-name directory. Our system provides our customers and VARs with a migration path from a traditional PBX system to a complete cloud-based PBX solution.

 

Our strategic initiatives to successfully meet our long-term business objectives include:

 

A disciplined approach to evaluating additional acquisitions as we build on the foundation created by our most recent acquisitions in Texas and Florida.Florida in FY2018. We will continue to target local and/or regional UCaaS/cloud telephony providers which have excelled in their market with that “local” touch when serving their business customers. We believe the experience gained in integrating products, personnel, and customers will facilitate continued growth via acquisition.

 

A continued emphasis on our UCaaS/cloud communication business which operates in a segment of the telecommunication industry that continues to experience significant growth as businesses migrate from legacy phone systems to cloud-based telephony systems.

 

Enhancements to our broadband product portfolio with an emphasis on marketing leading-edge network and business continuity solutions like cloud WAN, also known as SD-WAN (Software Defined Wide-Area Network), to our customers which we anticipate will increase average revenue per customer.

 

Implementing a total support model (pre and post sales) for building a world-class service delivery and help desk organization.

 

Emphasis on our sales distribution model that enables our VARs to offer cloud and session-based communication services to the enterprise market in various regions and industries.

 

Continue enhancing our infrastructure and back office system to streamline operations, automate key processes, and support the scalability of our VAR distribution model.

 


Competitive Conditions

 

The cloud services industry, including the provisioning of cloud communications services, cloud connectivity, cloud storage and cloud computing, as well as carrier voice and data services, is highly competitive, rapidly evolving and subject to constant technological change and intense marketing by providers with similar products and services. We expect that new, smaller, but very agile competitors, specializing in providing service to regional and emerging markets at low margin and hence low cost, may have an impact on our market. Similarly, the business services market includes competitors who may be significantly larger and have substantially greater market presence, financial, technical, operational and marketing resources than we do, including Tier 1 carriers, cable companies and premise-based solutions providers that are implementing cloud communication services. In the event that such a competitor expends significant sales and marketing resources in one or several markets where we compete with them, we may not be able to compete successfully in those markets. Specialized cloud services providers, who focus on one or more cloud service or application, could adopt aggressive pricing and promotion practices that could impact our ability to compete. We also believe that competition will continue to increase, placing downward pressure on prices. Such pressure could adversely affect our gross margins if we are not able to reduce our costs commensurate with the price reductions of our competitors. In addition, the pace of technological change makes it impossible for us to predict whether we will face new competitors using different technologies to provide the same or similar services offered or proposed to be offered by us. If our competitors were to provide better and more cost-effective services than ours, we may not be able to increase our revenues or capture any significant market share.

 


The VoIP and Internet telephony market are highly competitive. Our competitors include major telecommunications carriers in the U.S., national UCaaS providers, and numerous small cloud telephony operators. We expect to face continuing competition based on price and service offerings from existing competitors and new market entrants in the future. The principal competitive factors in our market include price, coverage, customer service, technical response times, reliability, and network size/capacity. The competitive landscape is rapidly altering the number, identity, and competitiveness of the marketplace, and we are unable to determine with certainty the impact of potential consolidation in our industry.

 

Many of our competitors have substantially greater financial, technical, and marketing resources, larger customer bases, longer operating histories, greater name recognition and more established relationships in the industry than we have. As a result, certain of these competitors may be able to adopt more aggressive pricing policies that could hinder our ability to market our services. We believe that our key competitive advantages are our ability to deliver reliable, high quality voice service over the Internet in a cost-effective manner, superior customers service and our VAR distribution model. We cannot provide assurances, however, that these advantages will enable us to succeed against comparable service offerings from our competitors.

 

Government Regulation

 

VoIP and other communications services, like ours, have been subject to less regulation at the state and federal levels than traditional telecommunications services. Providers of traditional telecommunications services are subject to the highest degree of regulation, while providers of VoIP and other information services are largely exempt from most federal and state regulations governing traditional common carriers. The FCC has subjected VoIP service providers to a smaller subset of regulations that apply to traditional telecommunications service providers and has not yet classified VoIP services as either telecommunications or information. The FCC is currently examining the status of VoIP service providers and the services they provide in multiple open proceedings. In addition, many state regulatory agencies impose taxes and other surcharges on VoIP services, and certain states take the position that offerings by VoIP providers are intrastate telecommunications services and therefore subject to state regulation. These states argue that if the beginning and end points of communications are known, and if some of these communications occur entirely within the boundaries of a state, the state can regulate that offering. We believe that the FCC has preempted states from regulating VoIP offerings in the same manner as providers of traditional telecommunications services. However, this issue has not been resolved definitively as a matter of law, and it remains possible that the FCC could determine that such services are not information services, or that there could be a judicial or legislative determination that the states are not preempted from regulating VoIP services as traditional telecommunications services. We cannot predict how or when these issues will be resolved or its potential future impact on our business at this time.

 


The effect of any future laws, regulations, and orders on our operations, including, but not limited to, our cloud-based communications and collaboration services, cannot be determined. But as a general matter, increased regulation and the imposition of additional funding obligations increases service costs that may or may not be recoverable from our customers, which could result in making our services less competitive with traditional telecommunications services if we increase our prices or decreasing our profit margins if we attempt to absorb such costs.

 

Federal, state, local and foreign governmental organizations are considering other legislative and regulatory proposals that would regulate and/or tax applications running over the Internet. We cannot predict whether new taxes will be imposed on our services, and depending on the type of taxes imposed, whether and how our services would be affected thereafter. Increased regulation of the Internet may decrease its growth and hinder technological development, which may negatively impact the cost of doing business via the Internet or otherwise materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 

Regulation of Internet-based Telecommunication Services in the United States

 

We have the necessary authority under Section 214 of the Communications Act to operate as a domestic and international carrier. We are considered a non-dominant domestic interstate carrier subject to minimal regulation by the FCC. We are not required to obtain FCC authority to initiate or expand our domestic interstate operations, but we are required to obtain FCC approval to transfer control or discontinue service and are required to file various reports and pay various fees and assessments. In addition, we must offer service on a nondiscriminatory basis at just and reasonable rates and are subject to the FCC’s complaint jurisdiction. Generally, our international voice traffic is subject to minimal regulation by state and local jurisdictions.

 


We are a competitive local exchange carrier (CLEC) in Florida. We are subject to the same FCC regulations applicable to telecommunications companies, as well as regulation by the public utility commission in Florida. As a CLEC, we are generally required to register or seek certification to provide certain services, to file and update tariffs setting forth the terms, conditions and prices for our intrastate services and to comply with various consumer protection, reporting, record-keeping, surcharge collection requirements.

The FCC requires Internet voice communications service providers, such as our company, to provide E-911 service in all geographic areas covered by the traditional wire-line E-911 network. Under the FCC’s rules, Internet voice communications providers must transmit the caller’s phone number and registered location information to the appropriate public safety answering point, or PSAP, for the caller’s registered location. The FCC also requires interconnected VoIP service providers to make Universal Service Fund (“USF”) contributions. We believe that our services are currently compliant with all applicable requirements of the FCC, and we have made and are making the required contributions to the USF. However, should we at some time fail to meet certain requirements or fail to make required contributions, we could be subject to revocation of our authority to operate or to fines or penalties.

 

As a result of the FCC’s preemption of states’ ability to regulate certain aspects of VoIP service, and a trend in state legislatures to affirmatively deregulate VoIP services for most purposes, our VoIP services are subject to relatively few state regulatory requirements aside from collection of state and local E911 fees and state Universal Service support obligations. We believe that our VoIP services are currently compliant with all applicable state requirements, and we have made and are making the required contributions to E911, state USF, and other funds. The state regulatory framework for our VoIP services continues to evolve, so we, in conjunction with our professional advisors, monitor the actions of the various state regulatory agencies and endeavor to ensure that we are in compliance with applicable state law, including any new statutes or regulations that may be passed. However, there can be no assurance that we will become aware of all applicable requirements on a timely basis, or that we will always be fully compliant with applicable rules and regulations. Should we fail to be compliant with applicable state regulations, or to file required reports with state regulatory agencies, we could be subject to fines and/or penalties.

 

In addition to regulations addressing Internet telephony and broadband services, other regulatory issues relating to the Internet generally could affect our ability to provide our services. Congress has adopted legislation that regulates certain aspects of the Internet including online content, user privacy, taxation, liability for third-party activities and jurisdiction. In addition, a number of initiatives pending in Congress and state legislatures would prohibit or restrict advertising or sale of certain products and services on the Internet, which may have the effect of raising the cost of doing business on the Internet generally.

 


International Regulation

 

The regulatory treatment of Internet telephony outside of the U.S. varies widely from country to country. A number of countries that currently prohibit competition in the provision of voice telephony also prohibit Internet telephony. Other countries permit but regulate Internet telephony. Some countries will evaluate proposed Internet telephony service on a case-by-case basis and determine whether it should be regulated as a voice service or as another telecommunications service. In many countries, Internet telephony has not yet been addressed by legislation or regulation. Increased regulation of the Internet and/or Internet telephony providers or the prohibition of Internet telephony in one or more countries could adversely affect our business and future prospects if we decide to expand globally.

Legal Proceedings

On April 16, 2021, a lawsuit was filed against T3 Communications, Inc. (“T3”), a subsidiary of the Company, by Carolina Financial Securities, LLC (“CFS”), in North Carolina state court (Forsyth County Superior Court), claiming that T3 owes CFS a placement fee of $576,000.00 pursuant to an Engagement Letter between the two companies. The Company has removed the case to the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina. The Company denies liability and intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit. At the time of this prospectus, the Company cannot predict the outcome of such claim and the financial impact on our ongoing operations.

Customers and Suppliers

 

We rely on various suppliers to provide services in connection with our Voice over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) or Unified Communication as a Service (“UCaaS”)VoIP and UCaaS offerings. Our customers include businesses in various industries including Healthcare, Banking, Financial Services, Legal, Real Estate, and Construction. We are not dependent upon any single supplier or customer.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

 

Our common stockcompensation programs are designed to meet the following objectives:

Offer compensation opportunities that attract highly qualified executives, reward outstanding initiative and achievement, and retain the leadership and skills necessary to build long-term stockholder value;

Emphasize pay-for-performance by maintaining a portion of executives’ total compensation at risk, tied to both our annual and long-term financial performance and the creation of stockholder value; and

Further our short and long-term strategic goals and values by aligning executive officer compensation with business objectives and individual performance.

Our Board of Directors believes that an executive’s compensation should be tied to the performance of the individual and the performance of the complete executive team against both financial and non-financial goals, some of which are subjective and within the discretion of the Board of Directors.

Our executive compensation program is quotedintended to be simple and clear, and consists of the following elements (depending on individual performance):

Base salary;

Annual performance-based cash bonus;

Long-term incentives in the form of stock options; and

Benefits that are offered to executives on the same basis as our non-executive employees.

Role of Management in Determining Compensation Decisions

At the OTCQB underrequest of our Board of Directors, our management makes recommendations to our Board of Directors relating to executive compensation program design, specific compensation amounts, bonus targets, incentive plan structure and other executive compensation related matters for each of our executive officers, including our Chief Executive Officer. Our Board of Directors maintains decision-making authority with respect to these executive compensation matters.

Our Board of Directors reviews the symbol “DTGI”.recommendations of our management with respect to total executive compensation and each element of compensation when making pay decisions. In allocating compensation among compensation elements, we emphasize incentive, not fixed compensation to ensure that executives only receive superior pay for superior results. We equally value short- and long-term compensation because both short- and long-term results are critical to our success. In addition, our compensation program includes various benefits provided to all employees, including life insurance, health insurance and other customary benefits. The following table sets forthobjectives and details of why each element of compensation is paid are described below.

Base Salary. Our objective for paying base salaries to executives is to reward them for performing the highcore responsibilities of their positions and low bid pricesto provide a level of security with respect to a portion of their compensation. We consider a number of factors when setting base salaries for executives, including:

Existing salary levels;

Competitive pay practices;

Individual and corporate performance; and

Internal equity among our executives, taking into consideration their relative contributions to our success.


Long-term Incentive Awards. We award long-term incentive compensation to focus our common stockexecutives on our long-term growth and stockholder return, as well as to encourage our executives to remain with us for the two most recently completed fiscal years, as reportedlong-term. Long-term incentive awards are primarily in the form of grants of stock options and/or stock award pursuant to our 2015 Equity Compensation Plan (the ��Plan”). We selected this form because of the favorable accounting and tax treatment and the expectation of key employees in our industry that they would receive stock options and/or stock grants. We do not have pre-established target award amounts for long-term incentive grants. In determining long-term incentive awards for the Named Executive Officers, our Board of Directors relies on recommendations from our Chief Executive Officer, who considers the individual performance of the executives, the relation of the award to base salary and annual incentive compensation, and associated accounting expense. The terms of and amount of awards are made by Bloomberg, LP.

Overview

Digerati Technologies, Inc.,2020, the Company paid in full the total outstanding balance of $332,985. In May 2020, the Company executed a Nevada corporation (including our subsidiaries, “we,” “us,” “Company” or “Digerati”), through its operating subsidiaries in TexasSettlement Agreement and Florida, Shift8 Networks, Inc., dba, T3 Communications (“T3”)Mutual release, whereby the lender released the Company of any pledged collateral and T3 Communications, Inc. (“T3”), provides cloud services specializing in Unified Communicationsany other obligation under the promissory note. One of the note holders also serves as a Service (“UCaaS”) solutions for the business market. Our product line includes a portfolio of Internet-based telephony products and services delivered through our cloud application platform and session-based communication network and network services including Internet broadband, fiber, and cloud WAN solutions. Our services are designed to provide enterprise-class, carrier-grade services to the small-to-medium-sized business (“SMB”) at cost-effective monthly rates. Our UCaaS or cloud communication services include fully hosted IP/PBX, mobile applications, Voice over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) transport, SIP trunking, and customized VoIP services all deliveredOnly in the Cloud™.

As a provider of cloud communications solutions to the SMB, we are seeking to capitalize on the migration by businesses from the legacy telephone network to the Internet Protocol (“IP”) telecommunication network and the migration from hardware-based on-premise telephone systems to software-based communication systems in the cloud. Most SMBs are lagging in technical capabilities and advancement and seldom reach the economies of scale that their larger counterparts enjoy, due to their achievement of a critical mass and ability to deploy a single solution to a large number of workers. SMBs are typically unable to afford comprehensive enterprise solutions and, therefore, need to integrate a combination of business solutions to meet their needs. Cloud computing has revolutionized the industry and opened the door for businesses of all sizes to gain access to enterprise applications with affordable pricing. This especially holds true for cloud telephony applications, but SMBs are still a higher-touch sale that requires customer support for system integration, network installation, cabling, and troubleshooting. We have placed a significant emphasis on that “local” touch when selling, delivering, and supporting our services which we believe will differentiate us from the national providers that are experiencing high attrition rates due to poor customer support model.

The adoption of cloud communication services is being driven by the convergence of several market trends, including the increasing costs of maintaining installed legacy communications systems, the fragmentation resulting from use of multiple on-premise systems, and the proliferation of personal smart phones used in the workplace. Today, businesses are increasingly looking for an affordable path to modernizing their communications system to improve productivity, business performance and customer experience.

Our cloud solutions offer the SMB reliable, robust, and full-featured services at affordable monthly rates that eliminates high-cost capital expenditures and provides for integration with other cloud-based systems.

Digerati’s consolidated financial statements for the nine months ending April 30, 2021, have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. Since the Company’s inception in 1993, Digerati has incurred net losses and accumulated a deficit of approximately $104,166,000 and a working capital deficit of approximately $22,924,000 which raises doubt about Digerati’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

We are currently taking initiatives to reduce our overall cash deficiencies on a monthly basis. During fiscal 2019 we anticipate reducing fixed costs and general expenses, in addition,2021 certain members of our management team have taken a significant portion of their compensation in common stockCommon Stock to reduce the depletion of our available cash. To strengthen our business, we intend to adopt best practices from or recent acquisitions and invest in a new marketing and sales strategy to grow our monthly recurring revenue; we anticipate utilizing our value-added resellers and channel partners to tap into new sources of revenue streams, we have also secured various agent agreements to accelerate revenue growth. In addition, we will continue to focus on selling a greater number of comprehensive services to our existing customer base. Further, in an effort to increase our revenues, we will continue to evaluate the acquisition of various assets with emphasis in VoIP Services and Cloud Communication Services. As a result, during the due diligence process we anticipate incurring significant legal and professional fees. During the year ended fiscal 2018, the Company acquired T3 Communications, Inc., a leading provider of cloud communication and Internet broadband solutions in Southwest Florida. The acquisition of T3 allowed the Company to accelerate its revenue growth and expand into new markets.

 


Management believes that current available resources as of April 30, 2021, will not be sufficient to fund the Company’s operations, debt service and corporate expenses over the next 12 months. The Company’s ability to continue to meet its obligations and to achieve its business objectives is dependent upon, amongand other things, raising additional capital, issuing stock-based compensation to certain members of the executive management team in lieu of cash, or generating sufficient revenue in excess of costs. At such time as the Company requires additional funding, the Company will seek to secure such best-efforts funding from various possible sources, including equity or debt financing, sales of assets, or collaborative arrangements. If the Company raises additional capital through the issuance of equity securities or securities convertible into equity, stockholders will experience dilution, and such securities may have rights, preferences, or privileges senior to those of the holders of common stockCommon Stock or convertible senior notes. If the Company raises additional funds by issuing debt, the Company may be subject to limitations on its operations, through debt covenants or other restrictions. If the Company obtains additional funds through arrangements with collaborators or strategic partners, the Company may be required to relinquish its rights to certain technologies. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional funds or raise them on acceptable terms. If the Company is unable to obtain financing on acceptable terms, it may be unable to execute its business plan, the Company could be required to curtail its operations, and the Company may not be able to pay off its obligations, if and when they come due.

 

Our current cash expenses are expected to be approximately $95,000$750,000 per month, including wages, rent, utilities, corporate expenses, and corporatelegal professional fees.fees associated with potential acquisitions. As described elsewhere herein, we are not generating sufficient cash from operations to pay for our corporate and ongoing operating expenses, or to pay our current liabilities. As of April 30, 2019,2021, our total liabilities were approximately $7,113,000,$32,430,000, which included $1,303,000$17,340,000 in derivative liabilities. We will continue to use our available cash on hand to cover our deficiencies in operating expenses.

 


We estimate that we need approximately $500,000$65,000 per month of additional working capital to fund our ongoing operationscorporate expenses during Fiscal 2019. We used proceeds secured from 3rd party promissory notes to pay existing notes and we anticipate raising additional debt financing to meet our working capital needs.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Our compensation programs are designed to meet the following objectives:

Offer compensation opportunities that attract highly qualified executives, reward outstanding initiative and achievement, and retain the leadership and skills necessary to build long-term stockholder value;

Emphasize pay-for-performance by maintaining a portion of executives’ total compensation at risk, tied to both our annual and long-term financial performance and the creation of stockholder value; and

Further our short and long-term strategic goals and values by aligning executive officer compensation with business objectives and individual performance.

Our Board of Directors believes that an executive’s compensation should be tied to the performance of the individual and the performance of the complete executive team against both financial and non-financial goals, some of which are subjective and within the discretion of the Board of Directors.

Our executive compensation program is intended to be simple and clear, and consists of the following elements (depending on individual performance):

Base salary;

Annual performance-based cash bonus;


Long-term incentives in the form of stock options; and

Benefits that are offered to executives on the same basis as our non-executive employees.

Role of Management in Determining Compensation Decisions

At the request of our Board of Directors, our management makes recommendations to our Board of Directors relating to executive compensation program design, specific compensation amounts, bonus targets, incentive plan structure and other executive compensation related matters for each of our executive officers, including our Chief Executive Officer. Our Board of Directors maintains decision-making authority with respect to these executive compensation matters.

Our Board of Directors reviews the recommendations of our management with respect to total executive compensation and each element of compensation when making pay decisions. In allocating compensation among compensation elements, we emphasize incentive, not fixed compensation to ensure that executives only receive superior pay for superior results. We equally value short- and long-term compensation because both short- and long-term results are critical to our success. In addition, our compensation program includes various benefits provided to all employees, including life insurance, health insurance and other customary benefits. The objectives and details of why each element of compensation is paid are described below.

Base Salary.Our objective for paying base salaries to executives is to reward them for performing the core responsibilities of their positions and to provide a level of security with respect to a portion of their compensation. We consider a number of factors when setting base salaries for executives, including:

Existing salary levels;

Competitive pay practices;

Individual and corporate performance; and

Internal equity among our executives, taking into consideration their relative contributions to our success.

Long-term Incentive Awards.We award long-term incentive compensation to focus our executives on our long-term growth and stockholder return, as well as to encourage our executives to remain with us for the long-term. Long-term incentive awards are primarily in the form of grants of stock options and/or stock award pursuant to our 2015 Equity Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). We selected this form because of the favorable accounting and tax treatment and the expectation of key employees in our industry that they would receive stock options and/or stock grants. We do not have pre-established target award amounts for long-term incentive grants. In determining long-term incentive awards for the Named Executive Officers, our Board of Directors relies on recommendations from our Chief Executive Officer, who considers the individual performance of the executives, the relation of the award to base salary and annual incentive compensation, and associated accounting expense. The terms of and amount of awards are made by our Board of Directors in accordance with the Stock Option Plan.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Digerati Technologies, Inc.

San Antonio, Texas

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Digerati Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) as of July 31, 2018, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of July 31, 2018, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Going Concern Matter

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Digerati is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Digerati’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of Business.Digerati Technologies, Inc. (“we”, “our”, “Company” or “Digerati”) was incorporated in the state of Nevada on May 24, 2004. Digerati is a diversified holding company that has no independent operations apart from its subsidiaries. Through our operating subsidiaries, T3 Communications, Inc., and Shift8 Networks, Inc., dba, Synergy Telecom, we are an establishedprovider of cloud services specializing in UCaaS (Unified Communications as a Service) solutions for the small to medium-sized business (“SMB”) market. Weoffer a comprehensive suite of cloud communication services to meet the global needs of businesses that are seeking simple, flexible, and cost-effective communication solutions. Our servicesinclude cloud PBX, cloud mobile, Internet broadband, cloud WAN, SIP trunking, and customized VoIP services, all delivered on its global carrier-grade network and Only in the Cloud™.

In December 2017, we closed a transaction to acquire all the assets, assumed all customers, and critical vendor arrangements from Synergy Telecom, Inc. Synergy provides UCaaS or cloud communication services to small and medium-sized businesses and municipalities, primarily in Texas.

In May 2018, we completed the acquisition of T3 Communications, Inc., an established UCaaS and Internet broadband provider serving a high-growth corridor in Southwest Florida.

Principles of Consolidation.The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Digerati, and its subsidiaries, which are majority owned by Digerati In accordance with ASC 810-10-05. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Reclassifications. Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements of the prior year have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the current year for comparative purposes.

Use of Estimates. In preparing financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheet and revenue and expenses in the statement of operations. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentration of Credit Risk.Financial instruments that potentially subject Digerati to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of trade receivables. In the normal course of business, Digerati provides credit terms to its customers. Accordingly, Digerati performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for possible losses, which, when realized, have been within the range of management’s expectations. Digerati maintains cash in bank deposit accounts, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Digerati has not experienced any losses in such accounts and Digerati does not believe it’s exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.

Revenue Recognition.Digerati derives revenue from UCaaS or cloud communication services and managed cloud-based services. Our services include fully hosted IP/PBX services, SIP trunking, call center applications, interactive voice response auto attendant, call recording, simultaneous calling, voicemail to email conversion, disaster recovery services and multiple customized IP/PBX features in a hosted or cloud environment. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, service or network capacity has been provided, the price is fixed or determinable, collectability is reasonably assured and there are no significant obligations remaining.

Digerati records and reports its revenue on the gross amount billed to its customers in accordance with the following indicators:

Digerati is the primary obligor in its arrangements,

Digerati has latitude in establishing pricing,

Digerati changes the product or performs part of the service and is involved in the determination of the product or service specifications,

Digerati has discretion in supplier selection and

Digerati assumes credit risk for the amount billed to the customer.


Sources of revenue:

Cloud-based hosted Services: We provide UCaaS or cloud communication services and managed cloud-based solutions to small and medium size enterprise customers and to other resellers. Our Internet-based services include fully hosted IP/PBX services, SIP trunking, call center applications, interactive voice response auto attendant, voice and web conferencing, call recording, simultaneous calling,messaging, voicemail to email conversion, integrated mobility applications that are device and location agnostic, and multipleother customized IP/PBX features in a hosted or cloud environment.applications. Other services include enterprise-class data and connectivity solutions through multiple broadband technologies including cloud WAN or SD-WAN (Software-defined Wide Area Network), fiber, and Ethernet over copper. We also offer remote network monitoring, data backup and disaster recovery.recovery services. The Company applies a five-step approach in determining the amount and timing of revenue to be recognized: (1) identifying the contract with a customer, (2) identifying the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (5) recognizing revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied. Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is recognized at the time control of the products transfers to the customer.

 

Direct Costs:Service Revenue. Service revenue from subscriptions to the Company’s cloud-based technology platform is recognized over time on a ratable basis over the contractual subscription term beginning on the date that the platform is made available to the customer. Payments received in advance of subscription services being rendered are recorded as a deferred revenue. Usage fees, either bundled or not bundled, are recognized when the Company has a right to invoice. Professional services for configuration, system integration, optimization, customer training and/or education are primarily billed on a fixed-fee basis and are performed by the Company directly. Alternatively, customers may choose to perform these services themselves or engage their own third-party service providers. Professional services revenue is recognized over time, generally as services are activated for the customer.

 

Cloud-based hosted ServicesProduct Revenue. The Company recognizes product revenue for telephony equipment at a point in time, when transfer of control has occurred, which is generally upon delivery. Sales returns are recorded as a reduction to revenue estimated based on historical experience.

Total operating revenues $6,279  $6,040 

Contract Assets. Contract assets are recorded for those parts of the contract consideration not yet invoiced but for which the performance obligations are completed. The revenue is recognized when the customer receives services or equipment for a reduced consideration at the onset of an arrangement; for example, when the initial month’s services or equipment are discounted. Contract assets are included in prepaid and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets, depending on if their reduction is recognized during the succeeding 12-month period or beyond. Contract assets as of April 30, 2021, and July 31, 2020, were $13,260 and $5,980, respectively.

Deferred Income. Deferred income represents billings or payment received in advance of revenue recognition and is recognized upon transfer of control. Balances consist primarily of annual plan subscription services, for services not yet provided as of the balance sheet date. Deferred revenues that will be recognized during the succeeding 12-month period are recorded as current deferred revenues in the consolidated balance sheets, with the remainder recorded as other noncurrent liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Deferred income as of April 30, 2021, and July 31, 2020, were $43,000 and $148,000, respectively.

Customer Deposits. The Company in some instances requires customers to make deposits for equipment, installation charges and training. As equipment is installed and training takes places the deposits are then applied to revenue. As of April 30, 2021, and July 31, 2020, Digerati’s customer deposits balance was $131,000 and $131,000, respectively

Costs to Obtain a Customer Contract. Sales commissions are paid upon collections of related revenue and are expensed during the same period. Sales commissions for the nine months ended April 30, 2021, and April 30, 2020, were $576,476 and $51,953, respectively.

Direct Costs - Cloud software and service. We incur bandwidth and colocation charges in connection with our UCaaS or cloud communication services. The bandwidth charges are incurred as part of the connectivity between our customers to allow them access to our various services. We also incur costs from underlying providers for fiber, Internet broadband, and telecommunication circuits in connection with our data and connectivity solutions.

 

Cash and cash equivalents.The Company considers all bank deposits and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts.

Bad debt expense is recognized based on management’s estimate of likely losses each year based on past experience and an estimate of current year uncollectible amounts. As of July 31, 2018 and 2017, Digerati’s allowance for doubtful accounts balance was $122,000 and $0, respectively.

Customer deposits.

The Company in some instances requires customers to make deposits for equipment, installation charges and training. As equipment is installed and training takes places the deposits are then applied to revenue. As of July 31, 2018 and 2017, Digerati’s customer deposits balance was $262,000 and $131,000, respectively.

Property and equipment.Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Additions are capitalized and maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Gains and losses on dispositions of equipment are reflected in operations. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are one to five years.

Goodwill, Intangible Assets, and Long-Lived AssetsAssets.

Goodwill is carried at cost and is not amortized. The Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis at the end of each fiscal year, relying on a number of factors including operating results, business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows and marketplace data. Company management uses its judgment in assessing whether goodwill has become impaired between annual impairment tests according to specifications set forth in ASC 350. The Company completed an evaluation of goodwill at July 31, 20182020 and 2019 and determined that there was no impairment. We did not have any goodwill during the year ended July 31, 2017.

 


The fair value of the Company’s reporting unit is dependent upon the Company’s estimate of future cash flows and other factors. The Company’s estimates of future cash flows include assumptions concerning future operating performance and economic conditions and may differ from actual future cash flows. Estimated future cash flows are adjusted by an appropriate discount rate derived from the Company’s market capitalization plus a suitable control premium at date of the evaluation.

 


The financial and credit market volatility directly impacts the Company’s fair value measurement through the Company’s weighted average cost of capital that the Company uses to determine its discount rate and through the Company’s stock price that the Company uses to determine its market capitalization. Therefore, changes in the stock price may also affect the amount of impairment recorded.

 

The Company recognizes an acquired intangible asset apart from goodwill whenever the intangible asset arises from contractual or other legal rights, or when it can be separated or divided from the acquired entity and sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged, either individually or in combination with a related contract, asset or liability. Such intangibles are amortized over their useful lives. Impairment losses are recognized if the carrying amount of an intangible asset subject to amortization is not recoverable from expected future cash flows and its carrying amount exceeds its fair value.

 

The Company reviews its long-lived assets, including property and equipment, identifiable intangibles, and goodwill annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. To determine recoverability of its long-lived assets, the Company evaluates the probability that future undiscounted net cash flows will be less than the carrying amount of the assets.

 

Business combinations. Each investment in a business is being measured and determined whether the investment should be accounted for as a cost-basis investment, an equity investment, a business combination, or a common control transaction. An investment in which the Company do not have a controlling interest and which the Company is not the primary beneficiary but where the Company has the ability to exert significant influence is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. For those investments that we account for in accordance ASC 805, Business Combinations, the Company records the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the management’s estimate of their fair values on the date of the business combination. The assessment of the estimated fair value of each of these can have a material effect on the reported results as intangible assets are amortized over various lives. Furthermore, according to ASC 805-50-30-5, when accounting for a transfer of assets or exchange of shares between entities under common control, the entity that receives the net assets or the equity interests shall initially measure the recognized assets and liabilities transferred at their carrying amounts in the accounts of the transferring entity at the date of transfer.

Stock-based compensation. In June 2018 FASB adopted the Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Non-employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This update simplifies the accounting for non-employee share-based payment transactions by expanding the scope of Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from non-employees. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within that reporting period. The Company adopted the updated standard as of May 1, 2018, adopting this guidance did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. During FY 2020 and 2019, the Company issued 21,811,100 common shares and 1,827,927 common shares, respectively to various employees as part of our profit sharing-plan contribution and stock in lieu of cash. At the time of issuance during FY 2020 and 2019 we recognized stock-based compensation expense of approximately $1,127,000 and $1,044,000, respectively equivalent to the market value of the shares issued calculated based on the share’s closing price at the grant dates.

Derivative financial instruments. Digerati does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. However, Digerati analyzes its convertible instruments and free-standing instruments such as warrants for derivative liability accounting.

For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date. Any changes in fair value is recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense for each reporting period. For derivative notes payable conversion options Digerati uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value the derivative instruments.

The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument is probable within the next 12 months from the balance sheet date.


Treasury Shares. As a result of entering into various convertible debt instruments which contained a variable conversion feature with no floor, warrants with fixed exercise price, and convertible notes with fixed conversion price or with a conversion price floor, we reserved 25,000,000 treasury shares for consideration for future conversions and exercise of warrants, for convertible notes with fixed conversion price, notes with variable conversion feature with a floor and warrants with a conversion price floor. The Company will evaluate the reserved treasury shares on a quarterly basis, and if necessary, reserve additional treasury shares. As of April 30, 2021, we believe that the treasury share reserved are sufficient for any future conversions of these instruments. As a result, these debt instruments and warrants are excluded from derivative consideration.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. A fair value hierarchy is used which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The fair value hierarchy based on the three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.

For certain of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of our long-term debt approximates its fair value based on the quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or the current rates offered to us for debt of the same remaining maturities.

Our derivative liabilities as of April 30, 2021, and July 31, 2020, of $17,339,843 and $606,123, respectively.

The following table as of July 31, 2020 and April 30, 2021 provides the fair value of the derivative financial instruments measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs:

BUSINESS

Overview

Digerati Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (including our subsidiaries, “we,” “us,” “Company” or “Digerati”), through its operating subsidiaries in Texas and Florida, Shift8 Networks, Inc., dba, T3 Communications (“T3”) and T3 Communications, Inc. (“T3”), respectively, provides cloud services specializing in Unified Communications as a Service (“UCaaS”) solutions for the business market. Our product line includes a portfolio of Internet-based telephony products and services delivered through our cloud application platform and session-based communication network and network services including Internet broadband, fiber, mobile broadband, and cloud WAN solutions (SD WAN). Our services are designed to provide enterprise-class, carrier-grade services to the small-to-medium-sized business (“SMB”) at cost-effective monthly rates. Our UCaaS or cloud communication services include fully hosted IP/PBX, mobile applications, Voice over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) transport, SIP trunking, and customized VoIP services all delivered Only in the Cloud™.

As a provider of cloud communications solutions to the SMB, we are seeking to capitalize on the migration by businesses from the legacy telephone network to the Internet Protocol (“IP”) telecommunication network and the migration from hardware-based on-premise telephone systems to software-based communication systems in the cloud. Most SMBs are lagging in technical capabilities and advancement and seldom reach the economies of scale that their larger counterparts enjoy, due to their achievement of a critical mass and ability to deploy a single solution to a large number of workers. SMBs are typically unable to afford comprehensive enterprise solutions and, therefore, need to integrate a combination of business solutions to meet their needs. Cloud computing has revolutionized the industry and opened the door for businesses of all sizes to gain access to enterprise applications with affordable pricing. This especially holds true for cloud telephony applications, but SMBs are still a higher-touch sale that requires customer support for system integration, network installation, cabling, and troubleshooting. We have placed a significant emphasis on that “local” touch when selling, delivering, and supporting our services which we believe will differentiate us from the national providers that are experiencing high attrition rates due to a poor customer support.

The adoption of cloud communication services is being driven by the convergence of several market trends, including the increasing costs of maintaining installed legacy communications systems, the fragmentation resulting from use of multiple on-premise systems, and the proliferation of personal smartphones used in the workplace. Today, businesses are increasingly looking for an affordable path to modernizing their communications system to improve productivity, business performance and customer experience. Most recently, the COVID-19 Pandemic has increased demand for communication systems that support remote working environments.

Our cloud solutions offer the SMB reliable, robust, and full-featured services at affordable monthly rates that eliminates high-cost capital expenditures and provides for integration with other cloud-based systems.

Recent Developments

Nexogy Merger

On November 17, 2020, T3 Nevada’s wholly owned subsidiary, Nexogy Acquisition, Inc., merged with and into Nexogy, Inc. (“Nexogy”) resulting in Nexogy becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of T3 Nevada (the “Merger”). Nexogy is a leading provider in South Florida of Unified Communications as a Service and managed services, offering a portfolio of cloud-based solutions to the high-growth SMB market.

The purchase price for Nexogy was $9 million in cash, plus an additional $452,000 in initial excess net working capital. In addition, the Company anticipates adjusting the initial networking capital by approximately $179,000 to reflect additional asset value and other liabilities identified. Of the $9 million, $900,000 was placed in an indemnity escrow account and $50,000 of the $9 million was placed in a working capital escrow account. In addition, at the closing of the Merger, T3 Nevada paid a number of Nexogy’s liabilities which were included in the $9 million purchase price.


ActivePBX Asset Purchase

On November 17, 2020, our indirect, wholly owned subsidiary, T3 Communications, Inc., a Florida corporation (“T3 Florida”), executed and closed on an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with ActiveServe, Inc., a Florida corporation (“Seller”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, T3 Florida acquired the customer base, certain equipment, certain intellectual property, inventory, contract rights, software and other licenses and miscellaneous assets used in connection with the operation of Seller’s telecommunications business known as ActivePBX (collectively, the “Purchased Assets”).

The aggregate purchase price for the Purchased Assets was $2,555,000 in cash, subject to adjustment as provided therein (the “Purchase Price”). $1,190,000 of the Purchase Price was payable at closing, with $50,000 of such amount being withheld by T3 Florida for a period of 12 months to cover part of potential future indemnification obligations of Seller to T3 Florida due to Seller’s breaches, if any, of any representations and warranties made to T3 Florida by Seller under the Purchase Agreement, and $40,000 of such amount being credited to T3 Florida against a payment in that amount made by T3 Florida to Seller pursuant to the Second Amendment to Letter of Intent between Seller and T3 Florida dated as of October 15, 2020.

Part of the Purchase Price is payable in 8 equal quarterly payments of $136,250, subject to T3 Florida achieving quarterly post-purchase recurring revenues under monthly contracts or subscriptions from the acquired customer base, excluding charges for taxes, regulatory fees, additional set-up fees, equipment purchases or lease, and consulting fees. To the extent that a quarterly revenue threshold is not reached, the amount of the corresponding quarterly payment shall be reduced on a proportional basis. T3 Florida’s $1,190,000 payment obligation is represented by a promissory note of T3 Florida in the form included as an exhibit to the Purchase Agreement. The note, in turn, is subject to the Subordination Agreement, included as an Exhibit to the Purchase Agreement, among Seller, the Company’s parent, T3 Nevada, and Post Road Administrative, LLC, in its capacity as administrative agent for the Post Road lenders. $275,000 of the Purchase Price (the “Customer Renewal Value”) represents an incentive earn-out to be paid with respect to Seller’s customer accounts which are transferred to T3 Florida at closing, that are renewed, expanded and/or revised with T3 Florida for a minimum term of twelve months with an auto-renewal for 12 months.

In connection with the Purchase Agreement, we entered into Consulting Agreements and a Non-Compete Agreement with each of Alex Gonzalez and Jose Gonzalez, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Technology Officer of Seller.

Credit Agreement and Notes

On November 17, 2020, T3 Communications, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“T3 Nevada”), a majority owned subsidiary of Digerati Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) and the Company’s other subsidiaries entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Post Road Administrative LLC and its affiliate Post Road Special Opportunity Fund II LLP (collectively, “Post Road”). The Company is a party to certain sections of the Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, Post Road will provide T3 Nevada with a secured loan of up to $20,000,000 (the “Loan”), with initial loans of $10,500,000 pursuant to the issuance of a Term Loan A Note and $3,500,000 pursuant to the issuance of a Term Loan B Note, each funded on November 17, 2020, and an additional $6,000,000 on loans, in increments of $1,000,000 as requested by T3 Nevada before the 18 month anniversary of the initial funding date to be lent pursuant to the issuance of a Delayed Draw Term Note.

The Term Loan A and Delayed Draw Term Notes have maturity dates of November 17, 2024 and an interest rate of LIBOR (with a minimum rate of 1.5%) plus twelve percent (12%). Term Loan A is non-amortized (interest only payments) through the maturity date and contains an option for the Company to pay interest in kind (PIK) for up to five percent (5%) of the interest rate in year one, four percent (4%) in year two and three percent (3%) in year three.

Term Loan B has a maturity date of December 31, 2021 and an interest rate of LIBOR (with a minimum rate of 1.5%) plus twelve percent (12%). Term Loan B is non-amortized (interest only payments) through the maturity date and contains an option for the Company to pay interest in kind (PIK) for up to five percent (5%) of the interest rate in year one, four percent (4%) in year two and three percent (3%) in year three.

Permitted use of proceeds for the initial $14,000,000 of the Loan included approximately $9.452 million for the purchase price for the merger of Nexogy with and into an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company described above, $1.190 million for the purchase price and transaction fees of certain assets of ActiveServe, Inc. described above, $1.487 million for the payment in full of outstanding debts owed and accrued interest to three creditors, including the secured creditor Thermo Communication, Inc., the payment of approximately $464,000 paid to Post Road, and recognized as deferred financing cost, and will be amortized over the terms of the notes. In addition, the Company expensed $430,000 in legal fees associated to the acquisitions and financing.


The Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and indemnification provisions. The Credit Agreement also contains affirmative and negative covenants with respect to operation of the business and properties of the loan parties as well as financial performance.

T3 Nevada’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a first-priority security interest in all of the assets of T3 Nevada and guaranteed by the other subsidiaries of the Company pursuant to the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement, dated November 17, 2020, by and among T3 Nevada, the Company’s other subsidiaries, and Post Road Administrative LLC (the “Guaranty and Collateral Agreement”). In addition, T3 Nevada’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are, pursuant to a Pledge Agreement (the “Pledge Agreement”), secured by a pledge of a first priority security interest in T3 Nevada’s 100% equity ownership of each of T3 Nevada’s operating companies.

Warrant

In connection with the Credit Agreement, on November 17, 2020, the Company issued a Warrant to Post Road Special Opportunity Fund II LP (the “Warrant”) to purchase, initially, twenty-five percent (25%) of the Company’s total shares (the “Warrant”), calculated on a fully diluted basis as of the date of issuance (the “Warrant Shares”) and subject to a reduction to fifteen percent (15%) as described below.

The number of Warrant Shares is adjustable to allow the holder to maintain, subject to certain share issuances that are exceptions, the right to purchase twenty-five percent (25%) of the Company’s total shares, calculated on a fully diluted basis. The Warrant has an exercise price of $0.01 per share and the Warrant expires on November 17, 2030. Seventy-five percent (75%) of the Warrant Shares are immediately fully vested and not subject to forfeiture at any time for any reason. The remaining twenty-five percent (25%) of the Warrant Shares are subject to forfeiture based on the Company achieving certain performance targets which, if achieved, would result in twenty percent (20%) warrant coverage. If the minority shareholders of T3 Nevada convert their T3 Nevada shares into shares of the Common Stock, the Warrant Shares percentage shall also be lowered such that when combined with the achievement of the performance targets, the warrant coverage could be reduced to fifteen percent (15%).

In connection with the issuance of the Warrant, the three executives of the Company, Art Smith, Antonio Estrada, and Craig Clement entered into a Tag-Along Agreement (the “Tag-Along Agreement”) whereby they agreed that the holder of the Warrant or Warrant Share will have the right to participate or “tag-along” in any agreements to sell any shares of their Common Stock that such executives enter into. The Company also agreed, in connection with the issuance of the Warrant and pursuant to a Board Observer Agreement (the “Board Observer Agreement”), to grant Post Road the right to appoint a representative to each of the boards of directors of the Company and each of its subsidiaries, to attend all board meeting in a non-voting observer capacity.

We also offer remote network monitoring, data backup and disaster recovery.


Voice over Internet Protocol Networks

The basic technology of traditional telecommunications systems was designed for slow mechanical switches. Communications over the traditional telephone network are routed through circuits that must dedicate all circuit resources to each call from its inception until the call ends, regardless of whether anyone is actually talking on the circuit. This circuit-switching technology incurs a significant cost per call and does not efficiently support the integration of voice with data services. Data networks, however, were designed for electronic switching. They break the data stream into small, individually addressed packages of data (“packets”) that are routed independently of each other from the origin to the destination. Therefore, they do not require a fixed amount of bandwidth to be reserved between the origin and destination of each call and they do not waste bandwidth when it is not being used for actual transmission of information. This allows multiple voice or voice and data calls to be pooled, resulting in these networks being able to carry more calls with an equal amount of bandwidth. Moreover, they do not require the same complex switching methods required by traditional voice telephone networks, instead using a multiplicity of routers to direct each packet to its destination and automatically routing packets around blockages, congestion or outages.

Packet switching can be used within a data network or across networks, including the public Internet. The Internet itself is not a single data network owned by any single entity, but rather a loose interconnection of networks belonging to many owners that communicate using the Internet Protocol. By converting voice signals to digital data and handling the voice signals as data, it can be transmitted through the more efficient switching networks designed for data transmissions and through the Internet using the Internet Protocol. The transmission of voice signals as digitalized data streams over the Internet is known as VoIP. A VoIP network has the following advantages over traditional networks:

Simplification: An integrated infrastructure that supports all forms of communication allows more standardization, a smaller equipment complement, and less equipment management.

Network Efficiency: The integration of voice and data fills up the data communication channels efficiently, thus providing bandwidth consolidation and reduction of the costs associated with idle bandwidth. This combined infrastructure can support dynamic bandwidth optimization and a fault tolerant design. The differences between the traffic patterns of voice and data offer further opportunities for significant efficiency improvements.

Co-existence with traditional communication mediums: IP telephony can be used in conjunction with existing public telephone system switches, leased and dial-up lines, PBXs and other customer premise equipment, enterprise LANs, and Internet connections. IP telephony applications can be implemented through dedicated gateways, which in turn can be based on open standards platforms for reliability and scalability.

Cost reduction: Under the VoIP network, the connection is directly to the Internet backbone and as a result the telephony access charges, and settlement fees are avoided.

The growth of voice over the Internet was limited in the past due to poor sound quality caused by technical issues such as delays in packet transmission and by bandwidth limitations related to Internet network capacity and local access constraints. However, the expansion of Internet Protocol network infrastructure, improvements in packet switching and compression technology, new software algorithms and improved hardware have substantially reduced delays in packet transmissions and resulted in superior sound quality to that of the legacy telephone network. The continued improvement and expansion of the Internet Protocol network has resulted in the use of this technology for other communication media, including video conferencing and instant messaging.

Cloud Communications

Cloud communications are Internet-based voice and data communications where telecommunications applications, switching and storage are hosted by a third-party service provider outside of the organization using the services. Services are accessed by the user over the public Internet. Cloud telephony refers specifically to voice services and more specifically the replacement of conventional business telephone equipment (such as a PBX) with VoIP service hosted by a third-party service provider and delivered over the Internet.


We operate a cloud communication network that consists of a VoIP switching system and cloud telephony application platform. Our network allows us to provide end-to-end cloud telephony solutions designed to provide significant benefits to businesses of all sizes, with single or multiple locations. The integration of our cloud communication platform and global VoIP network allows us to provide our customers with virtually any type of telephony solution on a global basis.

Our cloud communication solutions, also known as UCaaS, are designed to minimize upfront capital costs, increase the scalability and flexibility of the customer’s communications network and service environment, provide robust features and functionality to increase productivity and reduce the overall cost of communications.

Strategy

Our strategy is to target the small to medium-sized business market and capitalize on the wave of migration from the legacy telephone network to cloud telephony. We will continue to concentrate our sales and marketing efforts on developing vertically oriented solutions for targeted markets primarily focusing on municipalities, banking, healthcare, legal services, and real estate. In addition, we will continue to partner with our distributors and Value-Added Resellers (“VARs”) to expand our customer base. Our typical VAR, also referred to as a Partner, is an information technology services firm, traditional PBX vendor, managed service provider, or systems integrator that has established relationships with businesses in its local market. These VARs are currently providing local customer support for other IT or PBX services but lack the technology infrastructure to provide cloud communication and VoIP services to their customers. Our strategy allows these VARs to focus on their strength of providing first tier support to their customers while we provide the second and third tier technical support required to operate a cloud communication and VoIP network. In addition, we transform our VARs’ business model by introducing new cloud telephony services and adding a new and lucrative recurring revenue stream that increases the VARs’ value proposition for its current and prospective customers.

Our cloud-based technology platform enables us and our VARs to deliver enhanced voice services to their business customers. The features supported on our cloud communication platform include all standard telephone features and value-added applications such as voicemail to email, VoIP peering, teleconferencing, IVR auto attendant, and dial-by-name directory. Our system provides our customers and VARs with a migration path from a traditional PBX system to a complete cloud-based PBX solution.

Our strategic initiatives to successfully meet our long-term business objectives include:

A disciplined approach to evaluating additional acquisitions as we build on the foundation created by our acquisitions in Texas and Florida in FY2018. We will continue to target local and/or regional UCaaS/cloud telephony providers which have excelled in their market with that “local” touch when serving their business customers. We believe the experience gained in integrating products, personnel, and customers will facilitate continued growth via acquisition.

A continued emphasis on our UCaaS/cloud communication business which operates in a segment of the telecommunication industry that continues to experience significant growth as businesses migrate from legacy phone systems to cloud-based telephony systems.

Enhancements to our broadband product portfolio with an emphasis on marketing leading-edge network and business continuity solutions like cloud WAN, also known as SD-WAN (Software Defined Wide-Area Network), to our customers which we anticipate will increase average revenue per customer.

Implementing a total support model (pre and post sales) for building a world-class service delivery and help desk organization.

Emphasis on our sales distribution model that enables our VARs to offer cloud and session-based communication services to the enterprise market in various regions and industries.

Continue enhancing our infrastructure and back office system to streamline operations, automate key processes, and support the scalability of our VAR distribution model.


Competitive Conditions

The cloud services industry, including the provisioning of cloud communications services, cloud connectivity, cloud storage and cloud computing, as well as carrier voice and data services, is highly competitive, rapidly evolving and subject to constant technological change and intense marketing by providers with similar products and services. We expect that new, smaller, but very agile competitors, specializing in providing service to regional and emerging markets at low margin and hence low cost, may have an impact on our market. Similarly, the business services market includes competitors who may be significantly larger and have substantially greater market presence, financial, technical, operational and marketing resources than we do, including Tier 1 carriers, cable companies and premise-based solutions providers that are implementing cloud communication services. In the event that such a competitor expends significant sales and marketing resources in one or several markets where we compete with them, we may not be able to compete successfully in those markets. Specialized cloud services providers, who focus on one or more cloud service or application, could adopt aggressive pricing and promotion practices that could impact our ability to compete. We also believe that competition will continue to increase, placing downward pressure on prices. Such pressure could adversely affect our gross margins if we are not able to reduce our costs commensurate with the price reductions of our competitors. In addition, the pace of technological change makes it impossible for us to predict whether we will face new competitors using different technologies to provide the same or similar services offered or proposed to be offered by us. If our competitors were to provide better and more cost-effective services than ours, we may not be able to increase our revenues or capture any significant market share.

The VoIP and Internet telephony market are highly competitive. Our competitors include major telecommunications carriers in the U.S., national UCaaS providers, and numerous small cloud telephony operators. We expect to face continuing competition based on price and service offerings from existing competitors and new market entrants in the future. The principal competitive factors in our market include price, coverage, customer service, technical response times, reliability, and network size/capacity. The competitive landscape is rapidly altering the number, identity, and competitiveness of the marketplace, and we are unable to determine with certainty the impact of potential consolidation in our industry.

Many of our competitors have substantially greater financial, technical, and marketing resources, larger customer bases, longer operating histories, greater name recognition and more established relationships in the industry than we have. As a result, certain of these competitors may be able to adopt more aggressive pricing policies that could hinder our ability to market our services. We believe that our key competitive advantages are our ability to deliver reliable, high quality voice service over the Internet in a cost-effective manner, superior customers service and our VAR distribution model. We cannot provide assurances, however, that these advantages will enable us to succeed against comparable service offerings from our competitors.

Government Regulation

VoIP and other communications services, like ours, have been subject to less regulation at the state and federal levels than traditional telecommunications services. Providers of traditional telecommunications services are subject to the highest degree of regulation, while providers of VoIP and other information services are largely exempt from most federal and state regulations governing traditional common carriers. The FCC has subjected VoIP service providers to a smaller subset of regulations that apply to traditional telecommunications service providers and has not yet classified VoIP services as either telecommunications or information. The FCC is currently examining the status of VoIP service providers and the services they provide in multiple open proceedings. In addition, many state regulatory agencies impose taxes and other surcharges on VoIP services, and certain states take the position that offerings by VoIP providers are intrastate telecommunications services and therefore subject to state regulation. These states argue that if the beginning and end points of communications are known, and if some of these communications occur entirely within the boundaries of a state, the state can regulate that offering. We believe that the FCC has preempted states from regulating VoIP offerings in the same manner as providers of traditional telecommunications services. However, this issue has not been resolved definitively as a matter of law, and it remains possible that the FCC could determine that such services are not information services, or that there could be a judicial or legislative determination that the states are not preempted from regulating VoIP services as traditional telecommunications services. We cannot predict how or when these issues will be resolved or its potential future impact on our business at this time.


The effect of any future laws, regulations, and orders on our operations, including, but not limited to, our cloud-based communications and collaboration services, cannot be determined. But as a general matter, increased regulation and the imposition of additional funding obligations increases service costs that may or may not be recoverable from our customers, which could result in making our services less competitive with traditional telecommunications services if we increase our prices or decreasing our profit margins if we attempt to absorb such costs.

Federal, state, local and foreign governmental organizations are considering other legislative and regulatory proposals that would regulate and/or tax applications running over the Internet. We cannot predict whether new taxes will be imposed on our services, and depending on the type of taxes imposed, whether and how our services would be affected thereafter. Increased regulation of the Internet may decrease its growth and hinder technological development, which may negatively impact the cost of doing business via the Internet or otherwise materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Regulation of Internet-based Telecommunication Services in the United States

We have the necessary authority under Section 214 of the Communications Act to operate as a domestic and international carrier. We are considered a non-dominant domestic interstate carrier subject to minimal regulation by the FCC. We are not required to obtain FCC authority to initiate or expand our domestic interstate operations, but we are required to obtain FCC approval to transfer control or discontinue service and are required to file various reports and pay various fees and assessments. In addition, we must offer service on a nondiscriminatory basis at just and reasonable rates and are subject to the FCC’s complaint jurisdiction. Generally, our international voice traffic is subject to minimal regulation by state and local jurisdictions.

We are a competitive local exchange carrier (CLEC) in Florida. We are subject to the same FCC regulations applicable to telecommunications companies, as well as regulation by the public utility commission in Florida. As a CLEC, we are generally required to register or seek certification to provide certain services, to file and update tariffs setting forth the terms, conditions and prices for our intrastate services and to comply with various consumer protection, reporting, record-keeping, surcharge collection requirements.

The FCC requires Internet voice communications service providers, such as our company, to provide E-911 service in all geographic areas covered by the traditional wire-line E-911 network. Under the FCC’s rules, Internet voice communications providers must transmit the caller’s phone number and registered location information to the appropriate public safety answering point, or PSAP, for the caller’s registered location. The FCC also requires interconnected VoIP service providers to make Universal Service Fund (“USF”) contributions. We believe that our services are currently compliant with all applicable requirements of the FCC, and we have made and are making the required contributions to the USF. However, should we at some time fail to meet certain requirements or fail to make required contributions, we could be subject to revocation of our authority to operate or to fines or penalties.

As a result of the FCC’s preemption of states’ ability to regulate certain aspects of VoIP service, and a trend in state legislatures to affirmatively deregulate VoIP services for most purposes, our VoIP services are subject to relatively few state regulatory requirements aside from collection of state and local E911 fees and state Universal Service support obligations. We believe that our VoIP services are currently compliant with all applicable state requirements, and we have made and are making the required contributions to E911, state USF, and other funds. The state regulatory framework for our VoIP services continues to evolve, so we, in conjunction with our professional advisors, monitor the actions of the various state regulatory agencies and endeavor to ensure that we are in compliance with applicable state law, including any new statutes or regulations that may be passed. However, there can be no assurance that we will become aware of all applicable requirements on a timely basis, or that we will always be fully compliant with applicable rules and regulations. Should we fail to be compliant with applicable state regulations, or to file required reports with state regulatory agencies, we could be subject to fines and/or penalties.

In addition to regulations addressing Internet telephony and broadband services, other regulatory issues relating to the Internet generally could affect our ability to provide our services. Congress has adopted legislation that regulates certain aspects of the Internet including online content, user privacy, taxation, liability for third-party activities and jurisdiction. In addition, a number of initiatives pending in Congress and state legislatures would prohibit or restrict advertising or sale of certain products and services on the Internet, which may have the effect of raising the cost of doing business on the Internet generally.


International Regulation

The regulatory treatment of Internet telephony outside of the U.S. varies widely from country to country. A number of countries that currently prohibit competition in the provision of voice telephony also prohibit Internet telephony. Other countries permit but regulate Internet telephony. Some countries will evaluate proposed Internet telephony service on a case-by-case basis and determine whether it should be regulated as a voice service or as another telecommunications service. In many countries, Internet telephony has not yet been addressed by legislation or regulation. Increased regulation of the Internet and/or Internet telephony providers or the prohibition of Internet telephony in one or more countries could adversely affect our business and future prospects if we decide to expand globally.

Legal Proceedings

On April 16, 2021, a lawsuit was filed against T3 Communications, Inc. (“T3”), a subsidiary of the Company, by Carolina Financial Securities, LLC (“CFS”), in North Carolina state court (Forsyth County Superior Court), claiming that T3 owes CFS a placement fee of $576,000.00 pursuant to an Engagement Letter between the two companies. The Company has removed the case to the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina. The Company denies liability and intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit. At the time of this prospectus, the Company cannot predict the outcome of such claim and the financial impact on our ongoing operations.

Customers and Suppliers

We rely on various suppliers to provide services in connection with our VoIP and UCaaS offerings. Our customers include businesses in various industries including Healthcare, Banking, Financial Services, Legal, Real Estate, and Construction. We are not dependent upon any single supplier or customer.

During the nine months ended April 30, 2021, and 2020, the Company did not derive a significant amount of revenue from one single customer.

As of the nine months ended April 30, 2021, and 2020, the Company did not derive a significant number of accounts receivable from one single customer.

Employees

As of August 9, 2021, we had 49 employees, all of whom performed sales, operational, technical, and administrative functions. We believe our future success will depend to a large extent on our continued ability to attract and retain highly skilled and qualified employees. We consider our employee relations to be good. None of our employees belong to labor unions.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Our compensation programs are designed to meet the following objectives:

Offer compensation opportunities that attract highly qualified executives, reward outstanding initiative and achievement, and retain the leadership and skills necessary to build long-term stockholder value;

Emphasize pay-for-performance by maintaining a portion of executives’ total compensation at risk, tied to both our annual and long-term financial performance and the creation of stockholder value; and

Further our short and long-term strategic goals and values by aligning executive officer compensation with business objectives and individual performance.

Our Board of Directors believes that an executive’s compensation should be tied to the performance of the individual and the performance of the complete executive team against both financial and non-financial goals, some of which are subjective and within the discretion of the Board of Directors.

Our executive compensation program is intended to be simple and clear, and consists of the following elements (depending on individual performance):

Base salary;

Annual performance-based cash bonus;

Long-term incentives in the form of stock options; and

Benefits that are offered to executives on the same basis as our non-executive employees.

Role of Management in Determining Compensation Decisions

At the request of our Board of Directors, our management makes recommendations to our Board of Directors relating to executive compensation program design, specific compensation amounts, bonus targets, incentive plan structure and other executive compensation related matters for each of our executive officers, including our Chief Executive Officer. Our Board of Directors maintains decision-making authority with respect to these executive compensation matters.

Our Board of Directors reviews the recommendations of our management with respect to total executive compensation and each element of compensation when making pay decisions. In allocating compensation among compensation elements, we emphasize incentive, not fixed compensation to ensure that executives only receive superior pay for superior results. We equally value short- and long-term compensation because both short- and long-term results are critical to our success. In addition, our compensation program includes various benefits provided to all employees, including life insurance, health insurance and other customary benefits. The objectives and details of why each element of compensation is paid are described below.

Base Salary. Our objective for paying base salaries to executives is to reward them for performing the core responsibilities of their positions and to provide a level of security with respect to a portion of their compensation. We consider a number of factors when setting base salaries for executives, including:

Existing salary levels;

Competitive pay practices;

Individual and corporate performance; and

Internal equity among our executives, taking into consideration their relative contributions to our success.


Long-term Incentive Awards. We award long-term incentive compensation to focus our executives on our long-term growth and stockholder return, as well as to encourage our executives to remain with us for the long-term. Long-term incentive awards are primarily in the form of grants of stock options and/or stock award pursuant to our 2015 Equity Compensation Plan (the ��Plan”). We selected this form because of the favorable accounting and tax treatment and the expectation of key employees in our industry that they would receive stock options and/or stock grants. We do not have pre-established target award amounts for long-term incentive grants. In determining long-term incentive awards for the Named Executive Officers, our Board of Directors relies on recommendations from our Chief Executive Officer, who considers the individual performance of the executives, the relation of the award to base salary and annual incentive compensation, and associated accounting expense. The terms of and amount of awards are made by our Board of Directors in accordance with the Stock Option Plan.

Warrants We Are Offering in this Offering

Overview. The following summary of certain terms and provisions of the warrants offered hereby is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the provisions of the warrant agent agreement between us the Warrant Agent, and the form of warrant, both of which are filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. Prospective investors should carefully review the terms and provisions set forth in the warrant agent agreement, including the annexes thereto, and form of warrant.

The warrants issued in this offering entitle the registered holder to purchase one share of our Common Stock at a price equal to $[__] per share (based on an assumed offering price of $[__]), subject to adjustment as discussed below, immediately following the issuance of such warrant and terminating at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, five years after the closing of this offering. As described below, we have applied to list the warrants on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “NXGYW.”

The exercise price and number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances, including in the event of a stock dividend or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of Common Stock at prices below its exercise price.

2Represents twenty-five percent (25%) of the Company’s shares that are currently outstanding including the shares issuable to Post Road pursuant to the exercise of the Post Road Warrant. The 107,701,179 warrant shares that Post Road reported it owned in the Schedule 13D it filed on November 27, 2020 represents twenty-five percent (25%) of the total shares of Common Stock, calculated on a fully diluted basis, which assumes future share issuances that are not certain or not yet contractually obligated to be issued. As described above under “Post Road Warrant,” based on the Company’s achievement of certain performance targets, the Post Road Warrant may be exercisable into twenty percent (20%) of the Common Stock, calculated on a fully-diluted basis as described above. In addition, the Post Road Warrant may be exercisable into fifteen percent (15%) of the Common Stock, calculated on a fully-diluted basis as described above, if the minority stockholders of T3 Nevada, convert their T3 Nevada shares into shares of the Common Stock.


Exercisability. The warrants are exercisable at any time after their original issuance and at any time up to the date that is five (5) years after their original issuance. The warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the Warrant Agent, with the exercise form on the reverse side of the warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price, by certified or official bank check payable to us, for the number of warrants being exercised. Under the terms of the Warrant Agreement, we must use our best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement and current prospectus relating to Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants until the expiration of the warrants. If we fail to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement and current prospectus relating to the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, the holders of the warrants shall have the right to exercise the warrants solely via a cashless exercise feature provided for in the warrants, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and current prospectus.

Exercise Limitation. A holder may not exercise any portion of a warrant to the extent that the holder, together with its affiliates and any other person or entity acting as a group, would own more than 4.99% of the outstanding Common Stock after exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the warrant, except that upon prior notice from the holder to us, the holder may waive such limitation up to a percentage not in excess of 9.99%.

Exercise Price. The exercise price per whole share of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of the warrants is $[__] per share (based on an assumed public offering price of $[__] per Unit) or 110% of public offering price of the Common Stock. The exercise price is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of certain stock dividends and distributions, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting our Common Stock and also upon any distributions of assets, including cash, stock or other property to our stockholders. 

Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued upon exercise of the warrants. If, upon exercise of the warrant, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, we will, upon exercise, pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the exercise price. If multiple warrants are exercised by the holder at the same time, we shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the exercise price.

Transferability. Subject to applicable laws, the warrants may be offered for sale, sold, transferred or assigned without our consent.

Exchange Listing. We have applied to list our warrants on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “NXGYW.” No assurance can be given that our listing application will be approved.

Warrant Agent; Global Certificate. The warrants will be issued in registered form under a warrant agent agreement between the Warrant Agent and us. The warrants shall initially be represented only by one or more global warrants deposited with the Warrant Agent, as custodian on behalf of The Depository Trust Company (DTC) and registered in the name of Cede & Co., a nominee of DTC, or as otherwise directed by DTC.

Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans

In November 2015, Digerati adopted the Digerati Technologies, Inc. 2015 Equity Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan authorizes the grant of up to 7.5 million stock options, restricted common shares, non-restricted common shares and other awards to employees, directors, and certain other persons. The Plan is intended to permit Digerati to retain and attract qualified individuals who will contribute to the overall success of Digerati.

Exercise prices of all stock options and other awards vary based on the market price of the shares of Common Stock as of the date of grant. The stock options, restricted Common Stock, non-restricted Common Stock and other awards vest based on the terms of the individual grant.

Preferred Stock

The Company has authorized 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The board of directors has the authority to issue these shares and to set dividends, voting and conversion rights, redemption provisions, liquidation preferences, and other rights and restrictions.

CONVERTIBLE SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK

In March 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors designated and authorized the issuance of up to 1,500,000 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock has a par value of $0.001 per share and a stated value equal to one dollar ($1.00) (the “Stated Value”) and are entitled to a dividend at an annual rate of eight percent (8%) per share. The Company had 225,000 shares of the Convertible Series A Preferred Stock outstanding as of August 9, 2021.

The terms of our Series A Preferred Stock allow for:

Voting Rights. Unless otherwise required by the Nevada Revised Statutes, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to vote on any matter presented at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, or through written consent.

Optional Conversion. Each holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock may, at holder’s option and commencing on April 30, 2020, convert any or all such shares, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, into fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock. The number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Series A Preferred Stock may be converted shall be determined by dividing the Original Issue Price of each share of Series A Preferred Stock, plus accrued and unpaid dividends through the Conversion Date, to be converted by the Conversion Price (as defined below) in effect at the time of conversion. The “Conversion Price” at which shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon conversion of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall initially be the greater of (i) $0.40 per share, (ii) a 30% discount to the offering price of the Common Stock (or Common Stock equivalent) in a $10 million or greater equity financing that closes concurrently with an up-listing of the Company Common Stock on the NYSE American or Nasdaq, in the event of such up-listing, and (iii) a 30% discount to the average closing price per share of the Common Stock for the 5 consecutive trading days commencing upon the date the Common Stock is up-listed on either the NYSE American or Nasdaq in which there is no concurrent $10 million equity financing, in the event of such up-listing, subject to adjustment as provided below.

Mandatory Conversion. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall automatically convert into shares of Common Stock, as described in paragraph 2a, at the then applicable Conversion Price, upon the earlier of (i) the closing of a public or private offering (or series of offerings within a 90-day period) of Corporation equity or equity equivalent securities placed by a registered broker-dealer resulting in minimum gross proceeds to the Corporation of $10 million, (ii) commencing on April 30, 2020, if the Common Stock shall close (or the last trade shall be) at or above 150% of the Conversion Price per share for 20 out of 30 consecutive trading days, and (iii) the uplisting of the Corporation’s Common Stock to a national securities exchange or the Nasdaq stock market ((i), (ii) and (iii) are collectively referred to as “Mandatory Conversion Event”). The Corporation will provide notice to holder within 20 days of the occurrence of a Mandatory Conversion Event (failure of the Corporation to timely give such notice does not void the mandatory conversion). Holder shall surrender to the Corporation, within 10 days of receiving such notice, the certificate(s) representing the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted into Common Stock. In the event holder does not surrender such certificate(s) within 10 days of receiving such notice, the Corporation shall deem such certificate(s) cancelled and void. As soon as practicable, after the certificate(s) are either surrendered by the holder or cancelled by the Corporation, as the case may be, the Corporation will issue and deliver to holder a new certificate for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon such mandatory conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof and cash as provided in paragraph 2(c) in respect of any fraction of a share of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon such mandatory conversion, unless fractional shares are rounded up to the next whole share. Holder will be deemed a Common Stockholder of record as of the date of the occurrence of a Mandatory Conversion Event. During the period ended April 30, 2021, the Company evaluated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and concluded that none of the mandatory conversion events occurred during the period and determined that the convertible shares were classified as equity instruments.


CONVERTIBLE SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK

In April 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors designated and authorized the issuance of up to 1,000,000 shares of the Series B Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock is only issuable to the Company’s debt holders as of March 25, 2020 (“Existing Debt Holders”) who may purchase shares of Series B Preferred Stock at the Stated Value by converting all or part of the debt owed to them by the Company as of March 25, 2020. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock has a par value of $0.001 per share and a stated value equal to one dollar ($1.00) (the “Stated Value”). As of August 9, 2021, we had 425,442 shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding.

The terms of our Series B Preferred Stock allow for:

Voting Rights. Except as otherwise provided by the Nevada Revised Statutes, other applicable law or as provided in this Certificate of Designation, the Series B Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights. However, as long as any shares of Series B Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without the affirmative vote of the Holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock, (a) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the Series B Preferred Stock or alter or amend this Certificate of Designation, (b) amend its certificate of incorporation or other charter documents in any manner that adversely affects any rights of the Holders, (c) increase the number of authorized shares of Series B Preferred Stock, or (d) enter into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing.

Each of (i)-(vii) above shall be hereafter referred to as a “Conversion Event” and the date of a Conversion Event shall be hereafter referred to as a “Conversion Date”. Upon any such mandatory conversion and the issuance of Conversion Shares further thereto, the shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be deemed cancelled and of no further force or effect. A mandatory conversion is the only means by which Series B Preferred Stock is convertible as the shares of Series B Preferred Stock are not convertible at the option of the Holder. For purposes of the foregoing Conversion Events, conversion will be deemed to have taken place immediately prior to the Conversion Event. By way of example, if the Corporation engages in a Material Underwriting, the Series B Preferred Stock will be treated as having been converted immediately prior to the issuance of the securities in the Material Underwriting.

Redemption. At any time on or after the second anniversary of the date of issuance of shares of Series B Preferred Stock to the Holder, the Corporation, in its sole discretion, may elect, by delivering written notice to the Holder no less than 10 days or more than 20 prior to the redemption date set forth in such notice (the “Redemption Date”), to redeem all or any portion of the Series B Preferred Stock held by such Holder at a price per share (the “Redemption Price”) equal to 120% of the Stated Value per share being redeemed. The Corporation shall, unless otherwise prevented by law, redeem from such holder on the Redemption Date the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock identified in such notice of redemption. During the period ended April 30, 2021, the Company evaluated Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and concluded that none of the mandatory conversion events occurred during the period and determined that the convertible shares were classified as equity instruments. The Company will evaluate the convertible shares at each reporting balance sheet date and determine if a re-classification is required.

A mandatory conversion is the only means by which Series C Preferred Stock is convertible as the shares of Series C Preferred Stock are not convertible at the option of the Holder. For purposes of the foregoing Conversion Events, conversion will be deemed to have taken place immediately prior to the Conversion Event. By way of example, if the Corporation engages in a Material Financing, the Series C Preferred Stock will be treated as having been converted immediately prior to the issuance of the securities in the Material Underwriting.


Redemption. At any time on or after the second anniversary of the date of issuance of shares of Series C Preferred Stock to the Holder, the Corporation, in its sole discretion, may elect, by delivering written notice to the Holder no less than 10 days or more than 20 prior to the redemption date set forth in such notice (the “Redemption Date”), to redeem all or any portion of the Series C Preferred Stock held by such Holder at a price per share (the “Redemption Price”) equal to 120% of the Stated Value per share being redeemed.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Various Provisions of Nevada Law 

Provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes, our articles of incorporation, as amended, and bylaws could make it more difficult to acquire us by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise, or to remove incumbent officers and directors. These provisions, summarized below, would be expected to discourage certain types of takeover practices and takeover bids our Board may consider inadequate and to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with us. We believe that the benefits of increased protection of our ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure us will outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging takeover or acquisition proposals because, among other things, negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.


Blank Check Preferred 

Our articles of incorporation permit our Board to issue preferred stock with voting, conversion and exchange rights that could negatively affect the voting power or other rights of our Common Stockholders. The issuance of our preferred stock could delay or prevent a change of control of our Company.

Amendments to our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws

Under the Nevada Revised Statutes, our articles of incorporation may not be amended by stockholder action alone.

Nevada Anti-Takeover Statute

We may be subject to Nevada’s Combination with Interested Stockholders Statute (Nevada Corporation Law Sections 78.411-78.444) which prohibits an “interested stockholder” from entering into a “combination” with the corporation, unless certain conditions are met. An “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, beneficially owns (or within the prior two years, did beneficially own) 10% or more of the corporation’s capital stock entitled to vote.

Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

The Nevada Revised Statutes limits or eliminates the personal liability of directors to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors’ fiduciary duties as directors.

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions under the Nevada Revised Statutes and in our articles of incorporation and bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. These provisions may also have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. However, these provisions do not limit or eliminate our rights, or those of any stockholder, to seek non-monetary relief such as injunction or rescission in the event of a breach of a director’s fiduciary duties. Moreover, the provisions do not alter the liability of directors under the federal securities laws. In addition, your investment may be adversely affected to the extent that, in a class action or direct suit, we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

Authorized but Unissued Shares

Our authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock and preferred stock will be available for future issuance without stockholder approval, except as may be required under the listing rules of any stock exchange on which our Common Stock is then listed. We may use additional shares for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital, corporate acquisitions, and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock and preferred stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

Penny Stock Considerations

Our shares will be “penny stocks” as that term is generally defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to mean equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 per share. Thus, our shares will be subject to rules that impose sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who engage in certain transactions involving a penny stock. Under the penny stock regulations, a broker-dealer selling a penny stock to anyone other than an established customer must make a special suitability determination regarding the purchaser and must receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the sale, unless the broker-dealer is otherwise exempt.

In addition, under the penny stock regulations, the broker-dealer is required to:

Deliver, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the penny stock market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt;


Disclose commissions payable to the broker-dealer and our registered representatives and current bid and offer quotations for the securities;

Send monthly statements disclosing recent price information pertaining to the penny stock held in a customer’s account, the account’s value, and information regarding the limited market in penny stocks; and

Make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction, prior to conducting any penny stock transaction in the customer’s account.

Because of these regulations, broker-dealers may encounter difficulties in their attempt to sell shares of our Common Stock, which may affect the ability of selling shareholders or other holders to sell their shares in the secondary market and have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market. These additional sales practice and disclosure requirements could impede the sale of our securities if our securities become publicly traded. In addition, the liquidity for our securities may be decreased, with a corresponding decrease in the price of our securities. Our shares in all probability will be subject to such penny stock rules and our shareholders will, in all likelihood, find it difficult to sell their securities.


DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION
FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

In the event that a claims for indemnification against such liabilities (other than our payment of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

Future sales of substantial amounts of our Common Stock in the public market, including shares issued upon the exercise of outstanding options or warrants, or upon debt conversion, or the anticipation of these sales, could adversely affect market prices prevailing from time to time and could impair our ability to raise capital through sales of equity securities.

Upon completion of this offering we estimate that we will have          outstanding shares of our Common Stock, calculated as of July          , 2021, assuming no exercise of outstanding options or warrants, and no exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment allocation.

Lock-up Agreements and Obligations

Our officers and directors have agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to offer, issue, sell, contract to sell, encumber, grant any option for the sale of or otherwise dispose of any shares of our Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of our Common Stock for a period of six (6) months after this offering is completed without the prior written consent of the Representative.

The Representative may in its sole discretion and at any time without notice release some or all of the shares subject to lock-up agreements prior to the expiration of the lock-up period. When determining whether or not to release shares from the lock-up agreements, the Representative will consider, among other factors, the security holder’s reasons for requesting the release, the number of shares for which the release is being requested and market conditions at the time.

Sale of Restricted Securities

The shares of our Common Stock sold pursuant to this offering will be registered under the Securities Act or 1933, as amended, and therefore freely transferable, except for our affiliates. Our affiliates will be deemed to own “control” securities that are not registered for resale under the registration statement covering this prospectus. Individuals who may be considered our affiliates after this offering include individuals who control, are controlled by or are under common control with us, as those terms generally are interpreted for federal securities law purposes. These individuals may include some or all of our directors and executive officers. Individuals who are our affiliates are not permitted to resell their shares of our Common Stock unless such shares are separately registered under an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act is available, such as Rule 144.

Rule 144

In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated), including an affiliate, who beneficially owns “restricted securities” (i.e. securities that are not registered by an effective registration statement) of a “reporting company” may not sell these securities until the person has beneficially owned them for at least six months. Thereafter, affiliates may not sell within any three-month period a number of shares in excess of the greater of: (i) 1% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock as shown by the most recent report or statement published by the issuer; and (ii) the average weekly reported trading volume in such securities during the four preceding calendar weeks.


Sales under Rule 144 by our affiliates will also be subject to restrictions relating to manner of sale, notice and the availability of current public information about us and may be affected only through unsolicited brokers’ transactions.

Persons not deemed to be affiliates who have beneficially owned “restricted securities” for at least six months but for less than one year may sell these securities, provided that current public information about the Company is “available,” which means that, on the date of sale, we have been subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for at least 90 days and are current in our Exchange Act filings. After beneficially owning “restricted securities” for one year, our non-affiliates may engage in unlimited re-sales of such securities.

Shares received by our affiliates in this offering or upon exercise of stock options or upon vesting of other equity-linked awards may be “control securities” rather than “restricted securities.” “Control securities” are subject to the same volume limitations as “restricted securities” but are not subject to holding period requirements.

The following table shows the public offering price, underwriting discount and proceeds, before expenses, to us. The information assumes either no exercise or full exercise by the Representative of the over-allotment option.

The fees shown do not include the warrant to purchase shares of Common Stock issuable to the Representative at closing.

(2)The non-accountable expense allowance will not be payable with respect to the representative’s exercise of the over-allotment option, if any.

The Representative has advised us that the underwriters propose to offer the Units directly to the public at the public offering price set forth on the cover of this prospectus. In addition, the underwriters may offer some of the Units to other securities dealers at such price less a concession of up to $      per Unit. After this offering to the public, the offering price and other selling terms may be changed by the Representative without changing the Company’s proceeds from the underwriters’ purchase of the Units.


We have agreed to pay a non-accountable expense allowance to the representative of the underwriters equal to 1.0% of the gross proceeds received at the completion of the offering. The non-accountable expense allowance of 1.0% is not payable with respect to any shares sold upon exercise of the representative’s over-allotment option.

We have also agreed to reimburse the Representative for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses not to exceed $125,000 in the aggregate. We estimate that total expenses payable by us in connection with this Offering, other than the underwriting discount, will be approximately $     .

Discretionary Accounts

The underwriters do not intend to confirm sales of the Units offered hereby to any accounts over which they have discretionary authority.

Indemnification

We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against specified liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and to contribute to payments the underwriters may be required to make in respect thereof.

Representative’s Warrants

Upon consummation of this offering, we will issue to the Representative (or their designees) the warrants to purchase shares of our Common Stock (the “Representative’s Warrants”) covering a number of shares of Common Stock equal to seven percent (7.0%) of the total number of shares of Common Stock and Warrants being sold in this offering, at an exercise price per share equal to 110% of the public offering price. The Representative’s Warrants have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a 180-day lock-up pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1)(A). The Representative (or permitted assignees under FINRA Rule 5110(e)(2)(B)) will not sell, transfer, assign, pledge, or hypothecate these warrants or the securities underlying these warrants, nor will they engage in any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the warrants or the underlying securities for a period of 180 days from the commencement of sales of securities in this offering. In addition, the warrants provide for registration rights upon request, in certain cases. The Representative’s Warrants shall not be redeemable and shall further provide for anti-dilution protection (adjustment in the number and price of such warrants and the shares underlying such warrants) resulting from corporate events (which would include dividends, reorganizations, mergers, etc.) and future issuance of Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents at prices (or with exercise and/or conversion prices) below the Offering price. The Representative’s Warrants will be exercisable at any time, and from time to time, in whole or in part, during the period commencing 180 days from the commencement of sales of securities in this offering and will expire five (5) years from the commencement of sales of the securities issued in this offering. In addition, we have granted the underwriters a one-time demand registration right at our expense, an additional demand registration at the warrant holder’s expense, and unlimited “piggyback” registration rights with respect to the underlying shares. The demand registration rights will not be greater than five (5) years from the commencement of sales of securities in this offering in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8)(C). The piggyback registration right will not be greater than five (5) years from the commencement of sales of securities in this offering in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8)(D).

Lock-Up Agreements

We and each of our directors and officers, and any other holder(s) of three percent (3%) or more of our outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the effective date of the Registration Statement (and all holders of securities exercisable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock) have agreed to enter into customary “lock-up” agreements in favor of the Representative pursuant to which such persons and entities have agreed, for a period of six (6) months after the Offering is completed, that subject to certain exceptions, they shall not offer, issue, sell, contract to sell, encumber, grant any option for the sale of or otherwise dispose of any securities of the Company without the prior written consent of the Representative, including the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of currently outstanding options approved by the Representative.

The Representative may in its sole discretion and at any time without notice release some or all of the shares subject to lock-up agreements prior to the expiration of the lock-up period. When determining whether or not to release shares from the lock-up agreements, the Representative will consider, among other factors, the security holder’s reasons for requesting the release, the number of shares for which the release is being requested and market conditions at the time.


Right of First Refusal

We have granted the Representative a right of first refusal, for a period of eighteen (18) months from the closing of this offering, to act as lead managing underwriter and/or book runner or minimally as co-lead manager and co-book runner and/or co-lead placement agent with 100% of the economics for any and all future public or private equity, equity-linked or debt (excluding commercial bank debt) offerings, during such eighteen (18) months period, of the Company, or any successor to or subsidiary of the Company.

OTCQB and Nasdaq

Our Common Stock is presently quoted on the OTCQB marketplace under the symbol “DTGI”. We have applied to have our Common Stock and warrants listed on Nasdaq under the symbols “NXGY” and “NXGYW”, respectively. No assurance can be given that our application will be approved. Trading Quotes of securities on an over-the-counter marketplace may not be indicative of the market price of those securities on a national securities exchange. There is no established public trading market for the warrants. No assurance can be given that a trading market will develop for the warrants.

Price Stabilization, Short Positions and Penalty Bids

In connection with this Offering the underwriters may engage in stabilizing transactions, over-allotment transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act:

Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase securities so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum. 

Over-allotment involves sales by the underwriters of securities in excess of the number of securities the underwriters are obligated to purchase, which creates a syndicate short position. The short position may be either a covered short position or a naked short position. In a covered short position, the number of securities over-allotted by the underwriters is not greater than the number of securities that they may purchase in the over-allotment option. In a naked short position, the number of securities involved is greater than the number of securities in the over-allotment option. The underwriters may close out any covered short position by either exercising their over-allotment option and/or purchasing securities in the open market. 

Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the securities in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions. In determining the source of securities to close out the short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of securities available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase securities through the over-allotment option. A naked short position occurs if the underwriters sell more securities than could be covered by the over-allotment option. This position can only be closed out by buying securities in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there could be downward pressure on the price of the securities in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in this Offering. 

Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when securities originally sold by the syndicate member is purchased in a stabilizing or syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions. 

These stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our securities or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the securities. As a result, the price of our shares of Common Stock and Unit Warrants may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market. These transactions may be discontinued at any time.

Neither we nor the underwriters make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of our shares of Common Stock and Unit Warrants. In addition, neither we nor the underwriters make any representation that the underwriters will engage in these transactions or that any transaction, if commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.


Passive Market Making

In connection with this Offering, the underwriters and selling group members may also engage in passive market making transactions in our Common Stock. Passive market making consists of displaying bids limited by the prices of independent market makers and effecting purchases limited by those prices in response to order flow. Rule 103 of Regulation M promulgated by the SEC limits the amount of net purchases that each passive market maker may make and the displayed size of each bid. Passive market making may stabilize the market price of the shares of Common Stock at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

These remedies, or notice with respect to these remedies, must be exercised or delivered, as the case may be, by the purchaser within the time limits prescribed under, and are subject to limitations and defenses under, applicable Canadian securities legislation.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Digerati Technologies, Inc.

San Antonio, Texas

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Digerati Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) as of July 31, 2020 and July 31, 2019, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of July 31, 2020 and July 31, 2019, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Going Concern Matter

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

DIGERATI TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of Business. Digerati Technologies, Inc. (“we”, “our”, “Company” or “Digerati”) was incorporated in the state of Nevada on May 24, 2004. Digerati is a diversified holding company that has no independent operations apart from its subsidiaries. Through our operating subsidiaries in Texas and Florida, T3 Communications, Inc., and Shift8 Networks, Inc., dba, T3 Communications, we provide cloud services specializing in Unified Communications as a Service (“UCaaS”) solutions for the business market. Our product line includes a portfolio of Internet-based telephony products and services delivered through our cloud application platform and session-based communication network and network services including Internet broadband, fiber, mobile broadband, and cloud WAN (SD WAN) solutions. Our services are designed to provide enterprise-class, carrier-grade services to the small-to-medium-sized business (“SMB”) at cost-effective monthly rates. Our UCaaS or cloud communication services include fully hosted IP/PBX, mobile applications, Voice over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) transport, SIP trunking, and customized VoIP services all delivered Only in the Cloud™.

Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Digerati, and its subsidiaries, which are majority owned by Digerati In accordance with ASC 810-10-05. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Cost Method Investment. The Company holds a minority interest in Itellum. The Company has no influence over the operating and financial policies of Itellum. The Company has no controlling interest, is not the primary beneficiary and does not have the ability to exert significant influence. As a result, we accounted for this investment using the cost method of accounting.

Prepaid Acquisition costs & debt financing costs. The Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire a service provider in South Florida of UCaaS and managed services, offering a portfolio of cloud-based solutions to the high-growth SMB market. In addition, the Company entered into a Letter of Intent (LOI) for an acquisition. The Company expects closing on the two acquisitions during the quarter ending October 31, 2020. During the year ending July 31, 2020, the Company advanced $127,000 towards acquisition costs and $75,000 as financing costs. In addition, the Company capitalized $13,000 legal costs incurred during the year as financing costs. As of July 31, 2020, these advances are reflected as prepaids in the Company’s balance sheet. As of the date of this filing, the Company has advanced $240,000 as part of multiple extension fees, upon closing, these amounts will be applied to the purchase price. In addition, the Company advanced $325,000 towards the financing costs.

Gain on settlement of debt. During the year ended July 31, 2020 the Company recognized as other income $100,000 for a settlement with one of our vendors.

Reclassifications. Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements of the prior year have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the current year for comparative purposes.

Use of Estimates. In preparing financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheet and revenue and expenses in the statement of operations. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Beneficial conversion features. The Company evaluates the conversion feature for whether it was beneficial as described in ASC 470-30. The intrinsic value of a beneficial conversion feature inherent to a convertible note payable, which is not bifurcated and accounted for separately from the convertible note payable and may not be settled in cash upon conversion, is treated as a discount to the convertible note payable. This discount is amortized over the period from the date of issuance to the date the note is due using the effective interest method. If the note payable is retired prior to the end of its contractual term, the unamortized discount is expensed in the period of retirement to interest expense. In general, the beneficial conversion feature is measured by comparing the effective conversion price, after considering the relative fair value of detachable instruments included in the financing transaction, if any, to the fair value of the shares of common stock at the commitment date to be received upon conversion.


Related parties. The Company accounts for related party transactions in accordance with ASC 850 (“Related Party Disclosures”). A party is considered to be related to the Company if the party directly or indirectly or through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. A party which can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or if it has an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests is also a related party.

Concentration of Credit Risk. Financial instruments that potentially subject Digerati to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of trade receivables. In the normal course of business, Digerati provides credit terms to its customers. Accordingly, Digerati performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for possible losses, which, when realized, have been within the range of management’s expectations. Digerati maintains cash in bank deposit accounts, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Digerati has not experienced any losses in such accounts and Digerati does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.

Revenue Recognition. On August 1, 2018, we adopted Topic 606 using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of August 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after August 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606. There was no impact to the opening balance of accumulated deficit or revenues for the year ended July 31, 2019 as a result of applying Topic 606.

Sources of revenue:

Cloud-based hosted Services. The Company recognizes cloud-based hosted services revenue, mainly from subscription services for its cloud telephony applications that includes hosted IP/PBX services, SIP trunking, call center applications, auto attendant, voice and web conferencing, call recording, messaging, voicemail to email conversion, integrated mobility applications that are device and location agnostic, and other customized applications. Other services include enterprise-class data and connectivity solutions through multiple broadband technologies including cloud WAN or SD-WAN (Software-defined Wide Area Network), fiber, and Ethernet over copper. We also offer remote network monitoring, data backup and disaster recovery services. The Company applies a five-step approach in determining the amount and timing of revenue to be recognized: (1) identifying the contract with a customer, (2) identifying the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (5) recognizing revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied. Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is recognized at the time control of the products transfers to the customer.

Service Revenue

Service revenue from subscriptions to the Company’s cloud-based technology platform is recognized over time on a ratable basis over the contractual subscription term beginning on the date that the platform is made available to the customer. Payments received in advance of subscription services being rendered are recorded as a deferred revenue. Usage fees, either bundled or not bundled, are recognized when the Company has a right to invoice. Professional services for configuration, system integration, optimization, customer training and/or education are primarily billed on a fixed-fee basis and are performed by the Company directly. Alternatively, customers may choose to perform these services themselves or engage their own third-party service providers. Professional services revenue is recognized over time, generally as services are activated for the customer.

Product Revenue

The Company recognizes product revenue for telephony equipment at a point in time, when transfer of control has occurred, which is generally upon delivery. Sales returns are recorded as a reduction to revenue estimated based on historical experience.


Disaggregation of Cloud-based hosted revenues

Summary of disaggregated revenue is as follows (in thousands):

  For the Years ended
July 31,
 
  2020  2019 
Cloud software and service revenue $6,212  $5,847 
Product revenue  67   193 
Total operating revenues $6,279  $6,040 

Contract Assets

Contract assets are recorded for those parts of the contract consideration not yet invoiced but for which the performance obligations are completed. The revenue is recognized when the customer receives services or equipment for a reduced consideration at the onset of an arrangement; for example, when the initial month’s services or equipment are discounted. Contract assets are included in prepaid and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets, depending on if their reduction is recognized during the succeeding 12-month period or beyond. Contract assets as of July 31, 2020 and July 31, 2019, were $5,980 and $22,967, respectively.

Deferred Income

Deferred income represents billings or payment received in advance of revenue recognition and is recognized upon transfer of control. Balances consist primarily of annual plan subscription services, for services not yet provided as of the balance sheet date. Deferred revenues that will be recognized during the succeeding 12-month period are recorded as current deferred revenues in the consolidated balance sheets, with the remainder recorded as other noncurrent liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Deferred income as of July 31, 2020 and July 31, 2019, were $148,000 and $153,000, respectively.

Customer deposits.

The Company in some instances requires customers to make deposits for equipment, installation charges and training. As equipment is installed and training takes places the deposits are then applied to revenue. As of July 31, 2020, and 2019, Digerati’s customer deposits balance was $131,000 and $132,000, respectively.

Costs to Obtain a Customer Contract

Sales commissions are paid upon collections of related revenue and are expensed during the same period. Sales commissions for the year ended July 31, 2020 and the year ended July 31, 2019, were $38,976 and $52,613, respectively.

Direct Costs - Cloud-based hosted Services

We incur bandwidth and colocation charges in connection with our UCaaS or cloud communication services. The bandwidth charges are incurred as part of the connectivity between our customers to allow them access to our various services. We also incur costs from underlying providers for fiber, Internet broadband, and telecommunication circuits in connection with our data and connectivity solutions.

Cash and cash equivalents. The Company considers all bank deposits and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts.

Bad debt expense is recognized based on management’s estimate of likely losses each year based on past experience and an estimate of current year uncollectible amounts. As of July 31, 2020, and 2019, Digerati’s allowance for doubtful accounts balance was $124,000 and $115,000, respectively.

Property and equipment. Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Additions are capitalized and maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Gains and losses on dispositions of equipment are reflected in operations. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are one (1) to seven (7) years.


Goodwill, Intangible Assets, and Long-Lived Assets

Goodwill is carried at cost and is not amortized. The Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis at the end of each fiscal year, relying on a number of factors including operating results, business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows and marketplace data. Company management uses its judgment in assessing whether goodwill has become impaired between annual impairment tests according to specifications set forth in ASC 350. The Company completed an evaluation of goodwill at July 31, 2020 and determined that there was no impairment.

The fair value of the Company’s reporting unit is dependent upon the Company’s estimate of future cash flows and other factors. The Company’s estimates of future cash flows include assumptions concerning future operating performance and economic conditions and may differ from actual future cash flows. Estimated future cash flows are adjusted by an appropriate discount rate derived from the Company’s market capitalization plus a suitable control premium at date of the evaluation.

The financial and credit market volatility directly impacts the Company’s fair value measurement through the Company’s weighted average cost of capital that the Company uses to determine its discount rate and through the Company’s stock price that the Company uses to determine its market capitalization. Therefore, changes in the stock price may also affect the amount of impairment recorded.

The Company recognizes an acquired intangible asset apart from goodwill whenever the intangible asset arises from contractual or other legal rights, or when it can be separated or divided from the acquired entity and sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged, either individually or in combination with a related contract, asset or liability. Such intangibles are amortized over their useful lives. Impairment losses are recognized if the carrying amount of an intangible asset subject to amortization is not recoverable from expected future cash flows and its carrying amount exceeds its fair value.

The Company reviews its long-lived assets, including property and equipment, identifiable intangibles, and goodwill annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. To determine recoverability of its long-lived assets, the Company evaluates the probability that future undiscounted net cash flows will be less than the carrying amount of the assets.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. Digerati reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. Digerati assesses recoverability of the carrying value of the asset by estimating the future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair value.

Business combinations. Each investment in a business is being measured and determined whether the investment should be accounted for as a cost-basis investment, an equity investment, a business combination, or a common control transaction. An investment in which the Company do not have a controlling interest and which the Company is not the primary beneficiary but where the Company has the ability to exert significant influence is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. For those investments that we account for in accordance ASC 805, Business Combinations, the Company records the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the management’s estimate of their fair values on the date of the business combination. The assessment of the estimated fair value of each of these can have a material effect on the reported results as intangible assets are amortized over various lives. Furthermore, according to ASC 805-50-30-5, when accounting for a transfer of assets or exchange of shares between entities under common control, the entity that receives the net assets or the equity interests shall initially measure the recognized assets and liabilities transferred at their carrying amounts in the accounts of the transferring entity at the date of transfer.

Derivative financial instruments. Digerati does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. However, Digerati analyzes its convertible instruments and free-standing instruments such as warrants for derivative liability accounting.

 

For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, any changes in fair value is recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense for each reporting period. For option-based derivative financial instruments, warrants and notes payable conversion options Digerati uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value the derivative instruments.

 


The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument is probable within the next 12 months from the balance sheet date.

 

Notes payable conversion options are recorded as debt discounts and are amortized as interest expense over the term of the related debt instrument.

 

Sequencing Policy

In January 2018, asTreasury Shares. As a result of entering into avarious convertible debenture which contained a variable conversion feature with no floor, we adopted a sequencing policy in accordance with ASC 815-40-35-12 The Company retrospectively is adopting the sequencing policy so alldebt instruments, warrants with fixed exercise price, and convertible notes with fixed conversion price or with a conversion price floor, we reserved 9,000,000 treasury shares for consideration for future conversions and exercise of warrants. The Company will evaluate the reserved treasury shares on a quarterly basis, and if necessary, reserve additional treasury shares. As of July 31, 2020, we believe that the treasury share reserved are sequenced by issue date thussufficient for any future conversions of these instruments. As a result, these debt instruments and warrants are excluded from derivative consideration.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. A fair value hierarchy is used which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The fair value hierarchy based on the three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:

 

Level 1– Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2– Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

F-10

 

Level 3– Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.

 

For certain of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of our long-term debt approximates its fair value based on the quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or the current rates offered to us for debt of the same remaining maturities.

 

Our derivative liabilities as of July 31, 20182020 and 20172019 of $632,000$606,000 and $0, respectively, were valued$927,000, respectively.

Income taxes. Digerati recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to be recovered. Digerati provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which it does not consider realization of such assets to be more likely than not.

 

Since January 1, 2007, Digerati accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the authoritative guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board on income taxes which addresses how an entity should recognize, measure and present in the financial statements uncertain tax positions that have been taken or are expected to be taken in a tax return. Pursuant to this guidance, Digerati recognizes a tax benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that a particular tax position will be sustained upon examination or audit. To the extent the “more likely than not” standard has been satisfied, the benefit associated with a tax position is measured as the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. As of July 31, 20172020, we have no liability for unrecognized tax benefits.

 

Stock-based compensation. In June 2018 FASB adopted the Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Non-employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This update simplifies the accounting for non employeenon-employee share-based payment transactions by expanding the scope of Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from non-employees. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within that reporting period. The Company adopted the updated standard as of May 1, 2018, and adopting this guidance did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. During fiscal 2017FY 2020 and 2018,2019, the Company issued 1,003,97021,811,100 common shares and 2,213,5121,827,927 common shares, respectively to various employees as part of our profit-sharing planprofit sharing-plan contribution and stock in lieu of cash. At the time of issuance during fiscal 2017FY 2020 and 20182019 we recognized stock-based compensation expense of approximately $241,000$1,127,000 and $1,240,000,$1,044,000, respectively equivalent to the market value of the shares issued calculated based on the share’s closing price at the grant dates.

Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share. The basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss adjusted on an “as if converted” basis, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive securities. For the yearyears ended July 31, 2017, potential dilutive securities including options2020 and warrants had dilutive effect and were included in the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per common share. For the year ended July 31, 2018,2019, potential dilutive securities including options and warrants were not included in the calculation of diluted net (loss) per common share. Potential dilutive securities, which are not included in dilutive weighted average shares are as follows:

Noncontrolling interestinterest.

The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, Consolidation, which governs the accounting for and reporting of non-controlling interests (“NCIs”) in partially owned consolidated subsidiaries and the loss of control of subsidiaries. Certain provisions of this standard indicate, among other things, that NCIs be treated as a separate component of equity, not as a liability, that increases and decreases in the parent’s ownership interest that leave control intact be treated as equity transactions rather than as step acquisitions or dilution gains or losses, and that losses of a partially owned consolidated subsidiary be allocated to the NCI even when such allocation might result in a deficit balance.

 

The net income (loss) attributed to the NCI is separately designated in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income (loss). For the year ended July 31, 20182020 and 2017,2019, the Company recognized a noncontrolling deficits of $57,000$47,000 and $0,$128,000, respectively.

 

Recently issued accounting pronouncements. Recent accounting pronouncements, other than below, issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA and the SEC did not, or are not, believed by management to have a material effect on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Accounting Standards Codification. The updated guidance states that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also provides for additional disclosures with respect to revenues and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The standard will be effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and the Company adopted the standard effective August 1, 2018.


In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The amendments under this pronouncement will change the way all leases with a duration of one year or more are treated. Under this guidance, lessees will be required to capitalize virtually all leases on the balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and an associated financing lease liability or capitalOperating lease liability. The right-of-use asset represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the specified lease term. The lease liability represents the lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease, measured on a discounted basis. Based on certain characteristics, leases are classified as financing leases or operating leases. Financing lease liabilities, those that contain provisions similar to capitalized leases, are amortized like capital leases are under current accounting, as amortization expense and interest expense in the statement of operations. Operating lease liabilities are amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease as lease expense in the statement of operations. This update is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those reporting periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases and ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842), Targeted Improvements, which provided additional implementation guidance on the previously issued ASU. The Company adopted the new guidance on August 1, 2019, using modified retrospective transition approach and recorded $316,411 as right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities on day 1.

In August 2020, the FASB issued “ASU 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 47020) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)” which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments. The guidance removes certain accounting models which separate the embedded conversion features from the host contract for convertible instruments. Either a modified retrospective method of transition or a fully retrospective method of transition is permissible for the adoption of this standard. Update No. 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted no earlier than the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently assessingevaluating the impact of adopting this guidancepotential on its consolidated financial statements.

 


In June 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Non-employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This update simplifies the accounting for non-employee share-based payment transactions by expanding the scope of Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from non-employees. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within that reporting period. The Company adopted this updated standard as of May 1, 2018, and adopting this guidance did not have a material effect on the presentation of our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

 

Financial Condition

Digerati’s consolidated financial statements for the year ending July 31, 20182020 have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. Digerati has incurred net losses and accumulated a deficit of approximately $80,800,000$88,697,000 and a working capital deficit of approximately $3,722,000which$5,316,000 which raises substantial doubt about Digerati’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Management Plans to Continue as a Going Concern

Management believes that current available resources will not be sufficient to fund the Company’s operations over the next 12 months. The Company’s ability to continue to meet its obligations and to achieve its business objectives is dependent upon, among other things, raising additional capital or generating sufficient revenue in excess of costs. At such time as the Company requires additional funding, the Company will seek to secure such additional funding from various possible sources, including the public equity market, private financings, sales of assets, collaborative arrangements, and debt. If the Company raises additional capital through the issuance of equity securities or securities convertible into equity, stockholders will experience dilution, and such securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of common stock or convertible senior notes. If the Company raises additional funds by issuing debt, the Company may be subject to limitations on its operations, through debt covenants or other restrictions. If the Company obtains additional funds through arrangements with collaborators or strategic partners, the Company may be required to relinquish its rights to certain technologies. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional funds or raise them on acceptable terms. If the Company is unable to obtain financing on acceptable terms, it may be unable to execute its business plan, the Company could be required to delay or reduce the scope of its operations, and the Company may not be able to pay off its obligations, if and when they come due.

 

The Company will continue to work with various funding sources to secure additional debt and equity financings. However, Digerati cannot offer any assurance that it will be successful in executing the aforementioned plans to continue as a going concern.

 

Digerati’s consolidated financial statements as of July 31, 20182020 do not include any adjustments that might result from the inability to implement or execute Digerati’s plans to improve our ability to continue as a going concern.

 


NOTE 3 – INTANGIBLE ASSETS

 

During fiscalFY 2008, Digerati made a loan of $150,000 to NetSapiens Inc. The note receivable had a maturity date of June 26, 2008 with interest at 8% per year. The note was secured by NetSapiens’ proprietary Starter Platform License and SNAPsolution modules. On June 26, 2008 Digerati converted the outstanding interest and principal balance into a lifetime and perpetual NetSapiens’ License. The License provides Digerati with the ability to offer Hosted PBX(Private Branch eXchange), IP Centrex application, prepaid calling, call center, conferencing, messaging and other innovative telephony functionality necessary to offer standard and/or custom services to enterprise markets. The NetSapiens’ License, in the amount of $150,000, is being amortized equally over a period of 10 years. For the years ended July 31, 20182020 and 2017,2019, amortization totaled approximately $13,750$0 and $15,000,$0, respectively. As of July 31, 20182020, the NetSapiens’ License is fully amortized.

The Company uses straight-line depreciation, for the years ended July 31, 20182020 and 2017,2019, depreciation totaled approximately $104,000$234,000 and $3,000,$289,000, respectively.

 

NOTE 5 – INCOME TAXES

 

Digerati files a consolidated tax return. The current tax year is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and certain state taxing authorities. As of July 31, 2018,2020, Digerati had net operating loss carry-forwardscarryforwards of approximately $5,956,000$8,157,234 to reduce future federal income tax liabilities; the loss carryforwards will start to expire in 2020. Under the recently enacted Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), the new effective Corporate flat tax rate is 21% (effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017). Income tax benefit (provision) for the years ended July 31, 20182020 and 20172019 are as follows:

 

The effective tax rate for Digerati is reconciled to statutory rates as follows:

 

 2018  2017  2020  2019 
Expected Federal benefit (provision), at statutory rate  21.0%  35.0%  21.0%  21.0%
Change in valuation allowance  (21.0)%  (35.0)%  (21.0)%  (21.0)%
  0.0%  0.0%  0.0%  0.0%

 


Deferred tax assets are comprised of the following as of July 31, 20182020 and 2016:2019:

 

 2018 2017  2020  2019 
Net operating loss carryover $1,090,700  $1,282,000  $1,713,019  $1,805,310 
Valuation allowance  (1,090,700)  (1,282,000)  (1,713,019)  (1,805,310)
Total deferred tax asset, net $-  $-  $-  $- 

 

At July 31, 2018,2020, realization of Digerati’s deferred tax assets was not considered likely to be realized. The change in the valuation allowance for 20182020 was resulted in a decrease of approximately $191,000.$92,291. Management has evaluated and concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in Digerati’s combined financial statements. The current year remains open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions in which Digerati is subject to tax. The Company files a calendar year return, and the net operating loss was adjusted for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2018.2020.

 

During the year ended July 31, 20182020 the Company issued 4,389,08677,583,184 common shares, and under our initial assessment this will likely result in a change of control and the net operation loss (NOL’s) became subject to the separate return limitation year. We will evaluate during the tax year and consider the limitations.

 

We record unrecognized tax benefits as liabilities in accordance with ASC 740 and adjust these liabilities when our judgment changes as a result of the evaluate on new information not previously available. Because of the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is materially different from our current estimate of the unrecognized tax benefit liabilities. These differences will be reflected as increases or decreases to income tax expense in the period in which new information is available.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. A fair value hierarchy is used which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The Company analyzedfair value hierarchy based on the Debenturethree levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for derivative accounting considerationidentical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are financial instruments whose values are determined thatusing pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the embedded conversion option qualified as a derivative instrument,determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.

For certain of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the variable conversion price.

The Company paid Firstfire $2,500 for legal and compliance fees. The Company recorded the legal fees and other cost for a total of $33,000 as a discount to the Promissory note and they will be amortized over the term to interest expense.

The Promissory note provides Firstfire with the option to convert at any time on or after the 180th calendar day after the issue date, to convert all or any portion of the then outstanding and unpaid principal amount and interest under the Promissory note into shares of Common Stock of the Company at a conversion price for each share of Common Stock equal to the lower of (i) $0.50 (the “Fixed Conversion Price”) , or (ii) 65% of the lowest closing bid price of the Company’s Common Stock during the twenty (20) consecutive trading day period immediately preceding the trading day that the Company receives a Notice of Conversion (the “Alternate Conversion Price”).

The Company may Prepay at any time prior to the 180th calendar day after the funding of the Promissory note all or part of the outstanding principal balance, with the exception of any portion thereof which is the subject of a previously-delivered notice of conversion, prior to the maturity date for an amount equal to: (i) if the prepayment date is 90 days or less from the date of issuance, 105% of the sum of the principal amount to be prepaid plus accrued interest, if any; (ii) if the prepayment date is greater than or equal to 91 days from the date of issuance and less than or equal to 120 days from the date of issuance, 110% of the sum of the principal amount to be prepaid plus accrued interest, if any; (iii) if the prepayment date is greater than or equal to 121 days from the date of issuance and less than or equal to 180 days from the date of issuance, 115% of the sum of the principal amount to be prepaid plus accrued interest, if any.

In the event of default, the note shall become immediately due and paid in full in an amount (the “Default Amount”) equal to the principal amount then outstanding plus accrued interest through the date of full repayment multiplied by 150%. The holder may, at its sole discretion, determine to accept payment part in Common Stock and part in cash.


The Company analyzed the Promissory note for derivative accounting consideration and determined that the embedded conversion option qualified as a derivative instrument, due to the variable conversion price. Therefore, as of the year ending July 31, 2018, the company recognized a debt discount of $272,500 and recorded a $58,000 as a loss in derivative liability.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Digerati Technologies, Inc. (“we;” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, these interim financial statements contain 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. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the consolidated financial statements, which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended July 31, 20182020 contained in the Company’s Form 10-K filed on November 16, 2018October 29, 2020 have been omitted.

Treasury Shares

As a result of entering into various convertible debt instruments which contained a variable conversion feature with no floor, warrants with fixed exercise price, and convertible notes with fixed conversion price or with a conversion price floor, we reserved 25,000,000 treasury shares for consideration for future conversions and exercise of warrants, for convertible notes with fixed conversion price, notes with variable conversion feature with a floor and warrants with a conversion price floor. The Company will evaluate the reserved treasury shares on a quarterly basis, and if necessary, reserve additional treasury shares. As of April 30, 2021, we believe that the treasury share reserved are sufficient for any future conversions of these instruments. As a result, these debt instruments and warrants are excluded from derivative consideration.

Customers and Suppliers

We rely on various suppliers to provide services in connection with our VOIP and UCaaS offerings. Our customers include businesses in various industries including Healthcare, Banking, Financial Services, Legal, Real Estate, and Construction. We are not dependent upon any single supplier or customer.

During the nine months ended April 30, 2021, and 2020, the Company did not derive a significant amount of revenue from one single customer.

As of the nine months ended April 30, 2021, and 2020, the Company did not derive a significant number of accounts receivable from one single customer.

Sources of revenue:

Cloud Software and Service Revenue. The Company recognizes cloud software and service revenue, mainly from subscription services for its cloud telephony applications that includes hosted IP/PBX services, SIP trunking, call center applications, auto attendant, voice and web conferencing, call recording, messaging, voicemail to email conversion, integrated mobility applications that are device and location agnostic, and other customized applications. Other services include enterprise-class data and connectivity solutions through multiple broadband technologies including cloud WAN or SD-WAN (Software-defined Wide Area Network), fiber, and Ethernet over copper. We also offer remote network monitoring, data backup and disaster recovery services. The Company applies a five-step approach in determining the amount and timing of revenue to be recognized: (1) identifying the contract with a customer, (2) identifying the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (5) recognizing revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied. Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is recognized at the time control of the products transfers to the customer.

Service Revenue

Service revenue from subscriptions to the Company’s cloud-based technology platform is recognized over time on a ratable basis over the contractual subscription term beginning on the date that the platform is made available to the customer. Payments received in advance of subscription services being rendered are recorded as a deferred revenue. Usage fees, either bundled or not bundled, are recognized when the Company has a right to invoice. Professional services for configuration, system integration, optimization, customer training and/or education are primarily billed on a fixed-fee basis and are performed by the Company directly. Alternatively, customers may choose to perform these services themselves or engage their own third-party service providers. Professional services revenue is recognized over time, generally as services are activated for the customer.

Product Revenue

The Company recognizes product revenue for telephony equipment at a point in time, when transfer of control has occurred, which is generally upon delivery. Sales returns are recorded as a reduction to revenue estimated based on historical experience.


Disaggregation of Cloud software and service revenue

Summary of disaggregated revenue is as follows (in thousands):

  Three months ended
April 30,
  Nine months ended
April 30,
 
  2021  2020  2021  2020 
Cloud software and service revenue $3,666  $1,556  $8,440  $4,653 
Product revenue  85   10   189   59 
Total operating revenues $3,751  $1,566  $8,629  $4,712 

Contract Assets

Contract assets are recorded for those parts of the contract consideration not yet invoiced but for which the performance obligations are completed. The revenue is recognized when the customer receives services or equipment for a reduced consideration at the onset of an arrangement; for example, when the initial month’s services or equipment are discounted. Contract assets are included in prepaid and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets, depending on if their reduction is recognized during the succeeding 12-month period or beyond. Contract assets as of April 30, 2021, and July 31, 2020, were $13,260 and $5,980, respectively.

Deferred Income

Deferred income represents billings or payment received in advance of revenue recognition and is recognized upon transfer of control. Balances consist primarily of annual plan subscription services, for services not yet provided as of the balance sheet date. Deferred revenues that will be recognized during the succeeding 12-month period are recorded as current deferred revenues in the consolidated balance sheets, with the remainder recorded as other noncurrent liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Deferred income as of April 30, 2021, and July 31, 2020, were $43,000 and $148,000, respectively.

Customer deposits

The Company in some instances requires customers to make deposits for equipment, installation charges and training. As equipment is installed and training takes places the deposits are then applied to revenue. As of April 30, 2021, and July 31, 2020, Digerati’s customer deposits balance was $131,000 and $131,000, respectively.

Costs to Obtain a Customer Contract

Sales commissions are paid upon collections of related revenue and are expensed during the same period. Sales commissions for the nine months ended April 30, 2021, and April 30, 2020, were $576,476 and $51,953, respectively.

Direct Costs - Cloud software and service

We incur bandwidth and colocation charges in connection with our UCaaS or cloud communication services. The bandwidth charges are incurred as part of the connectivity between our customers to allow them access to our various services. We also incur costs from underlying providers for fiber, Internet broadband, and telecommunication circuits in connection with our data and connectivity solutions.


Noncontrolling interest. The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, Consolidation, which governs the accounting for and reporting of non-controlling interests (“NCIs”) in partially owned consolidated subsidiaries and the loss of control of subsidiaries. Certain provisions of this standard indicate, among other things, that NCIs be treated as a separate component of equity, not as a liability, that increases and decreases in the parent’s ownership interest that leave control intact be treated as equity transactions rather than as step acquisitions or dilution gains or losses, and that losses of a partially owned consolidated subsidiary be allocated to the NCI even when such allocation might result in a deficit balance.

The net income (loss) attributed to the NCI is separately designated in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income (loss). For the nine months ended April 30, 2021, and 2020, the Company recognized a net loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest of $223,000 and $58,000, respectively.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements. Recent accounting pronouncements, other than below, issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA and the SEC did not, or are not, believed by management to have a material effect on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

In August 2020, the FASB issued “ASU 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 47020) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)” which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments. The guidance removes certain accounting models which separate the embedded conversion features from the host contract for convertible instruments. Either a modified retrospective method of transition or a fully retrospective method of transition is permissible for the adoption of this standard. Update No. 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted no earlier than the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the potential on its financial statements.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

Financial Condition

The Company’s consolidated financial statements for the nine months ending April 30, 2021, have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. Since the Company’s inception in 1993, the Company has incurred net losses and accumulated a deficit of approximately $104,166,000, a working capital deficit of approximately $22,924,000 and total liabilities of $32,430,000, which includes $17,340,000 in derivative liabilities, which raises substantial doubt about Digerati’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Management Plans to Continue as a Going Concern

Management believes that available resources as of April 30, 2021, will not be sufficient to fund the Company’s operations and corporate expenses over the next 12 months. The Company’s ability to continue to meet its obligations and to achieve its business objectives is dependent upon, and other things, raising additional capital, issuing stock-based compensation to certain members of the executive management team in lieu of cash, or generating sufficient revenue in excess of costs. At such time as the Company requires additional funding, the Company will seek to secure such best-efforts funding from various possible sources, including equity or debt financing, sales of assets, or collaborative arrangements. If the Company raises additional capital through the issuance of equity securities or securities convertible into equity, stockholders will experience dilution, and such securities may have rights, preferences, or privileges senior to those of the holders of common stock or convertible senior notes. If the Company raises additional funds by issuing debt, the Company may be subject to limitations on its operations, through debt covenants or other restrictions. If the Company obtains additional funds through arrangements with collaborators or strategic partners, the Company may be required to relinquish its rights to certain technologies. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional funds or raise them on acceptable terms. If the Company is unable to obtain financing on acceptable terms, it may be unable to execute its business plan, the Company could be required to curtail its operations, and the Company may not be able to pay off its obligations, if and when they come due.

We are currently taking initiatives to reduce our overall cash deficiencies on a monthly basis. During fiscal 2021 certain members of our management team have taken a significant portion of their compensation in common stock to reduce the depletion of our available cash. To strengthen our business, we intend to adopt best practices from our recent acquisitions and invest in a marketing and sales strategy to grow our monthly recurring revenue; we anticipate utilizing our value-added resellers and channel partners to tap into new sources of revenue streams, we have also secured numerous agent agreements through our recent acquisitions that we anticipate will accelerate revenue growth. In addition, we will continue to focus on selling a greater number of comprehensive services to our existing customer base. Further, in an effort to increase our revenues, we will continue to evaluate the acquisition of various assets with emphasis in VoIP Services and Cloud Communication Services. As a result, during the due diligence process we anticipate incurring significant legal and professional fees.


We have been successful in raising debt and equity capital in the past and as described in Notes 6, 7, and 8. We have financing efforts in place to continue to raise cash through debt and equity offerings. Although we have successfully completed financings and reduced expenses in the past, we cannot assure you that our plans to address these matters in the future will be successful.

The Company’s consolidated financial statements as of April 30, 2021, do not include any adjustments that might result from the inability to implement or execute the Company’s plans to improve our ability to continue as a going concern.

On November 17, 2020, the Company and T3 Communications, Inc (“T3 Nevada”), a majority owned subsidiary entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Post Road Administrative LLC and its affiliate Post Road Special Opportunity Fund II LLP (collectively, “Post Road”). Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, Post Road provided T3 Nevada with a secured loan of up to $20,000,000, with initial loans of $10,500,000 pursuant to the issuance of a Term Loan A Note and $3,500,000 pursuant to the issuance of a Term Loan B Note, each funded on November 17, 2020.

The Company used $14,000,000 of the credit facility for the payment of approximately $9.452 million for the purchase price for the merger of Nexogy, $1.190 million for the purchase price and transaction fees of certain assets of ActiveServe, Inc., $1.487 million for the payment in full of outstanding debts owed and accrued interest to three creditors, including the secured creditor Thermo Communication, Inc., the payment of approximately $464,000 paid to Post Road, and recognized as deferred financing cost, and will be amortized over the terms of the notes. In addition, the Company expensed $430,000 in legal fees associated to the acquisitions and financing.

The Company can draw additional loans in increments of $1,000,000, before the 18 month anniversary of the initial funding date. The current Credit Agreement will allow the Company to continue acquiring UCaaS service providers that meet the Company’s acquisition criteria. Management anticipates that future acquisitions will provide additional operating revenues to the Company as it continues to execute on its consolidation strategy. There can be no guarantee that the planned acquisitions will close or that they will produce the anticipated revenues on the schedule anticipated by management.

NOTE 4 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

In November 2015, the Company adopted the Digerati Technologies, Inc. 2015 Equity Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan authorizes the grant of up to 7.5 million stock options, restricted common shares, non-restricted common shares and other awards to employees, directors, and certain other persons. The Plan is intended to permit the Company to retain and attract qualified individuals who will contribute to the overall success of the Company. The Company’s Board of Directors determines the terms of any grants under the Plan. Exercise prices of all stock options and other awards vary based on the market price of the shares of common stock as of the date of grant. The stock options, restricted common stock, non-restricted common stock, and other awards vest based on the terms of the individual grant.

During the nine months ended April 30, 2021, we issued:

7,608,820 common shares to various employees as part of the Company’s Non-Standardized profit-sharing plan contribution. The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $247,287 equivalent to the value of the shares calculated based on the share’s closing price at the grant dates.

250,000 common shares to a former member of the Management team for services in lieu of cash compensation. The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of approximately $17,500 equivalent to the value of the shares calculated based on the share’s closing price at the grant dates.

60,000 options to purchase common shares to an employee with an exercise price of $0.12 per share and a term of 5 years. The options vest equally over a period of three years. The options have a fair market value of $7,158.

The fair market value of all options issued during the nine months ended April 30, 2021, were determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model which used the following assumptions:

Expected dividend yield0.00%
Expected stock price volatility197.71% - 317.52%
Risk-free interest rate0.22% - 1.47%
Expected term2.0 - 3.0 years.

The Company recognized approximately $109,685 and $315,000 in stock-based compensation expense for stock options to employees for the nine months ended April 30, 2021, and 2020, respectively. Unamortized compensation stock option cost totaled $220,861 and $126,182 at April 30, 2021, and April 30, 2020, respectively.


A summary of the stock options as of April 30, 2021, and July 31, 2020, and the changes during the nine months ended April 30, 2021, are presented below:

The remaining twenty-five percent (25%) of the Warrant Shares are subject to forfeiture based on the Company achieving certain performance targets which, if achieved, would result in twenty percent (20%) warrant coverage. If the minority shareholders of T3 Nevada convert their T3 Nevada shares into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), the Warrant Shares percentage shall also be lowered such that when combined with the achievement of the performance targets, the warrant coverage could be reduced to fifteen percent (15%).

The “Conversion Price” at which shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon conversion of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall initially be the greater of (i) $0.40 per share, (ii) a 30% discount to the offering price of the Common Stock (or Common Stock equivalent) in a $10 million or greater equity financing that closes concurrently with an up-listing of the Company Common Stock on the NYSE American or Nasdaq, in the event of such up-listing, and (iii) a 30% discount to the average closing price per share of the Common Stock for the 5 consecutive trading days commencing upon the date the Common Stock is up-listed on either the NYSE American or Nasdaq in which there is no concurrent $10 million equity financing, in the event of such up-listing, subject to adjustment as provided below.

Mandatory Conversion. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall automatically convert into shares of Common Stock, as described in paragraph 2a, at the then applicable Conversion Price, upon the earlier of (i) the closing of a public or private offering (or series of offerings within a 90-day period) of Corporation equity or equity equivalent securities placed by a registered broker-dealer resulting in minimum gross proceeds to the Corporation of $10 million, (ii) commencing on April 30, 2020, if the Common Stock shall close (or the last trade shall be) at or above 150% of the Conversion Price per share for 20 out of 30 consecutive trading days, and (iii) the uplisting of the Corporation’s Common Stock to a national securities exchange or the Nasdaq stock market ((i), (ii) and (iii) are collectively referred to as “Mandatory Conversion Event”). The Corporation will provide notice to holder within 20 days of the occurrence of a Mandatory Conversion Event (failure of the Corporation to timely give such notice does not void the mandatory conversion). Holder shall surrender to the Corporation, within 10 days of receiving such notice, the certificate(s) representing the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted into Common Stock. In the event holder does not surrender such certificate(s) within 10 days of receiving such notice, the Corporation shall deem such certificate(s) cancelled and void. As soon as practicable, after the certificate(s) are either surrendered by the holder or cancelled by the Corporation, as the case may be, the Corporation will issue and deliver to holder a new certificate for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon such mandatory conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof and cash as provided in paragraph 2(c) in respect of any fraction of a share of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon such mandatory conversion, unless fractional shares are rounded up to the next whole share. Holder will be deemed a Common Stockholder of record as of the date of the occurrence of a Mandatory Conversion Event.

During the period ended April 30, 2021, the Company evaluated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and concluded that none of the mandatory conversion events occurred during the period and determined that the convertible shares were classified as equity instruments.

(“Nexogy”) resulting in Nexogy becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of T3 Nevada (the “Merger”). Nexogy is a leading provider in South Florida of Unified Communications as a Service and managed services, offering a portfolio of cloud-based solutions to the high-growth SMB market.

The purchase price for Nexogy was $9 million in cash, plus an additional $452,000 in initial excess net working capital, with $900,000 of the $9 million being placed in an indemnity escrow account and $50,000 of the $9 million being placed in a working capital escrow account. In addition, at the closing of the Merger, T3 Nevada paid a number of Nexogy’s liabilities which were included in the $9 million purchase price.


ActivePBX Asset Purchase

On November 17, 2020, our indirect, wholly owned subsidiary, T3 Communications, Inc., a Florida corporation (“T3 Florida”), executed and closed on an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with ActiveServe, Inc., a Florida corporation (“Seller”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, T3 Florida acquired the customer base, certain equipment, certain intellectual property, inventory, contract rights, software and other licenses and miscellaneous assets used in connection with the operation of Seller’s telecommunications business known as ActivePBX (collectively, the “Purchased Assets”).

The aggregate purchase price for the Purchased Assets was $2,555,000 in cash, subject to adjustment as provided therein (the “Purchase Price”). $1,190,000 of the Purchase Price was payable at closing, with $50,000 of such amount being  withheld by T3 Florida for a period of 12 months to cover part of  potential future  indemnification obligations of Seller to T3 Florida  due to Seller’s breaches, if any, of any representations and warranties made to T3 Florida by  Seller under the Purchase Agreement, and  $40,000 of such amount being credited to T3 Florida against a payment in that amount made by T3 Florida to Seller pursuant to the Second Amendment to Letter of Intent between Seller and T3 Florida dated as of October 15, 2020.

To the extent that a quarterly revenue threshold is not reached, the amount of the corresponding quarterly payment shall be reduced on a proportional basis. T3 Florida’s $1,190,000 payment obligation is represented by a promissory note of T3 Florida in the form included as an exhibit to the Purchase Agreement. The note, in turn, is subject to the Subordination Agreement, included as an Exhibit to the Purchase Agreement, among Seller, the Company’s parent, T3 Nevada, and Post Road Administrative, LLC, in its capacity as administrative agent for the Post Road lenders. $275,000 of the Purchase Price (the “Customer Renewal Value”) represents an incentive earn-out to be paid with respect to Seller’s customer accounts which are transferred to T3 Florida at closing, that are renewed, expanded and/or revised with T3 Florida for a minimum term of twelve months with an auto-renewal for 12 months. 

In connection with the Purchase Agreement, we entered into Consulting Agreements and a Non-Compete Agreement with each of Alex Gonzalez and Jose Gonzalez, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Technology Officer of Seller.

ActiveServe, Inc.

Miami, Florida

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of ActiveServe, Inc. (the “Company”) as of July 31, 2020, and the related statement of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of July 31, 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED JULY 31, 2020

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

ActiveServe, Inc., (“we”, “our”, “Company” or “ActiveServe”) was incorporated in the state of Florida on September 18, 2002. We provide cloud services specializing in Unified Communications as a Service (“UCaaS”) solutions for the business market. Our product line includes a portfolio of Internet-based telephony products and services delivered through our cloud application platform and session-based communication network and network services including mobile broadband. Our services are designed to provide enterprise-class, carrier-grade services to the small-to-medium-sized business (“SMB”) at cost-effective monthly rates. Our UCaaS or cloud communication services include fully hosted IP/PBX, mobile applications, Voice over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) transport, SIP trunking, hosting services and customized VoIP services.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates. In preparing financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheet and revenue and expenses in the statement of operations. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Basis of Presentation.These financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries which are directly or indirectly owned by the Company.

Cash and cash equivalents. The Company considers all bank deposits and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.

Concentration of Credit Risk. Financial instruments that potentially subject ActiveServe to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of trade receivables. In the normal course of business, ActiveServe provides credit terms to its customers. Accordingly, ActiveServe performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers. ActiveServe maintains cash in bank deposit accounts, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. ActiveServe has not experienced any losses in such accounts and ActiveServe does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.

During the year ended July 31, 2020, the Company derived 11% of the total revenue from one customer. As of the year ended July 31, 2020, the company derived 26% of the total accounts receivable balance from one customer.

Capitalization of Fixed Assets.The Company capitalizes expenditures related to property and equipment, subject to a minimum rule, that have a useful life greater than one year for: (1) assets purchased; (2) existing assets that are replaced, improved or the useful lives have been extended, regardless of cost. Acquisitions of new assets, additions, replacements, and improvements costing less than the minimum rule in addition to maintenance and repair costs, including any planned major maintenance activities, are expensed as incurred.

Revenue RecognitionRecognition.

On August 1, 2018, we adopted Topic 606 using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of August 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after August 1, 2018, are presented under Topic 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historic accounting under Topic 605.606. There was no impact to the opening balance of accumulated deficit or revenues for the nine monthsyear ended April 30,July 31, 2019, as a result of applying Topic 606.

 

Sources of revenue:

Cloud-based hosted Services. The Company recognizes cloud-based hosted services revenue, mainly from subscription services for its cloud telephony applications that includes hosted IP/PBX services, SIP trunking, call center applications, auto attendant, voice, and web conferencing, call recording, messaging, voicemail to email conversion, integrated mobility applications that are device and location agnostic, and other customized applications. Other services include enterprise-class data and connectivity solutions through multiple broadband technologies including cloud WAN or SD-WAN (Software-defined Wide Area Network), fiber, and Ethernet over copper. We also offer remote network monitoring, data backup and disaster recovery services. The Company applies a five-step approach in determining the amount and timing of revenue to be recognized: (1) identifying the contract with a customer, (2) identifying the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (5) recognizing revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied. Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is recognized at the time control of the products transfers to the customer.

 


Service Revenue

 

Service revenue from subscriptions to the Company’s cloud-based technology platform is recognized over time on a ratable basis over the contractual subscription term beginning on the date that the platform is made available to the customer. Payments received in advance of subscription services being rendered are recorded as a deferred revenue. Usage fees, either bundled or not bundled, are recognized when the Company has a right to invoice. Professional services for configuration, system integration, optimization, customer training and/or education are primarily billed on a fixed-fee basis and are performed by the Company directly. Alternatively, customers may choose to perform these services themselves or engage their own third-party service providers. Professional services revenue is recognized over time, generally as services are activated for the customer.

Product Revenue

 

The Company recognizes product revenue for telephony equipment at a point in time, when transfer of control has occurred, which is generally upon delivery. Sales returns are recorded as a reduction to revenue estimated based on historical experience.

Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of

Nexogy, Inc.

Fort Myers, Florida

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Nexogy Inc. (the “Company”) as of July 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of July 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Going Concern Matter

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED JULY 31, 2020, AND 2019

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Nexogy, Inc., (“we”, “our”, “Company” or “Nexogy”) was incorporated in the state of Florida on September 2, 2005. We provide cloud services specializing in Unified Communications as a Service (“UCaaS”) solutions for the business market. Our product line includes a portfolio of Internet-based telephony products and services delivered through our cloud application platform and session-based communication network and network services including Internet broadband, fiber, and mobile broadband. Our services are designed to provide enterprise-class, carrier-grade services to the small-to-medium-sized business (“SMB”) at cost-effective monthly rates. Our UCaaS or cloud communication services include fully hosted IP/PBX, mobile applications, Voice over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) transport, SIP trunking, and customized VoIP services. We provide services in various industries including banking, healthcare, financial services, legal, insurance, hotels, real estate, food services, and education.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates. In preparing financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheet and revenue and expenses in the statement of operations. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Basis of Presentation.These financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries which are directly or indirectly owned by the Company.

 

Deferred IncomeCash and cash equivalents. The Company considers all bank deposits and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.


Deferred income represents billings

Concentration of Credit Risk. Financial instruments that potentially subject Nexogy to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of trade receivables. In the normal course of business, Nexogy provides credit terms to its customers. Accordingly, Nexogy performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers. Nexogy maintains cash in bank deposit accounts, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Nexogy has not experienced any losses in such accounts and Nexogy does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. Bad debt expense is recognized based on management’s estimate of likely losses each year based on past experience and an estimate of current year uncollectible amounts. As of July 31, 2020, and 2019, Nexogy’s allowance for doubtful accounts balance was $0 and $0, respectively. For the Years Ended July 31, 2020, and 2019, Nexogy recognized bad debt expense of $94,000 and $126,000 respectively.

Revenue Recognition. On August 1, 2018, we adopted Topic 606 using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of August 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after August 1, 2018, are presented under Topic 606. There was no impact to the opening balance of accumulated deficit or paymentrevenues for the year ended July 31, 2019, as a result of applying Topic 606.

Sources of revenue:

Cloud-based hosted Services. The Company recognizes cloud-based hosted services revenue, mainly from subscription services for its cloud telephony applications that includes hosted IP/PBX services, SIP trunking, call center applications, auto attendant, voice, and web conferencing, call recording, messaging, voicemail to email conversion, integrated mobility applications that are device and location agnostic, and other customized applications. Other services include enterprise-class data and connectivity solutions through multiple broadband technologies including cloud WAN or SD-WAN (Software-defined Wide Area Network), fiber, and Ethernet over copper. We also offer remote network monitoring, data backup and disaster recovery services. The Company applies a five-step approach in determining the amount and timing of revenue to be recognized: (1) identifying the contract with a customer, (2) identifying the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (5) recognizing revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied. Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is recognized at the time control of the products and services transfers to the customer.

F-95

Service Revenue

Service revenue from subscriptions to the Company’s cloud-based technology platform is recognized over time on a ratable basis over the contractual subscription term beginning on the date that the platform is made available to the customer. Payments received in advance of subscription services being rendered are recorded as a deferred revenue. Usage fees, either bundled or not bundled, are recognized when the Company has a right to invoice. Professional services for configuration, system integration, optimization, customer training and/or education are primarily billed on a fixed-fee basis and are performed by the Company directly. Alternatively, customers may choose to perform these services themselves or engage their own third-party service providers. Professional services revenue recognition and is recognized uponover time, generally as services are activated for the customer.

Product Revenue

The Company recognizes product revenue for telephony equipment at a point in time, when transfer of control. Balances consist primarilycontrol has occurred, which is generally upon delivery. Sales returns are recorded as a reduction to revenue estimated based on historical experience.

Related parties. The Company accounts for servicesrelated party transactions in accordance with ASC 850 (“Related Party Disclosures”). A party is considered to be related to the Company if the party directly or indirectly or through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. A party which can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or if it has an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests is also a related party.

Income taxes. Nexogy recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to be recovered. Nexogy provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which it does not yet providedconsider realization of such assets to be more likely than not.


Nexogy accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the authoritative guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board on income taxes which addresses how an entity should recognize, measure and present in the financial statements uncertain tax positions that have been taken or are expected to be taken in a tax return. Pursuant to this guidance, Nexogy recognizes a tax benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that a particular tax position will be sustained upon examination or audit. To the extent the “more likely than not” standard has been satisfied, the benefit associated with a tax position is measured as the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. As of July 31, 2020, and 2019, we have no liability for unrecognized tax benefits.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements. Recent accounting pronouncements, other than below, issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA and the SEC did not, or are not, believed by management to have a material effect on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases.” ASU 2016-02 requires a lessee to record a right of use asset and a corresponding lease liability on the balance sheet date. Deferred revenues that will be recognized duringfor all leases with terms longer than 12 months. ASU 2016-02 is effective for all interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the succeeding 12-monthbeginning of the earliest period are recorded as current deferred revenuespresented in the consolidated balance sheets, withfinancial statements. The Company adopted the remainder recorded as other noncurrent liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Deferred income as of April 30, 2019 and July 31, 2018, were $314,000 and $262,000, respectively.new guidance on August 1, 2020.

NOTE 23 – GOING CONCERN

Financial Condition

Digerati’s consolidatedThe Company’s financial statements for the nine months ending April 30, 2019as of July 31, 2020, have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. Since the Company’s inception in 1993, Digerati2005, the Company has incurred net losses and accumulated a deficit of approximately $84,434,000 and$3,076,000, a working capital deficit of approximately $6,035,000$2,682,000 and total liabilities as of July 31, 2020 of $4,332,000, which includes $3,386,000 in notes payable to related parties, which raises substantial doubt about Digerati’sNexogy’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Management Plans to Continue as a Going Concern

Management believes that current available resources as of July 31, 2020, will not be sufficient to fund the Company’s operations and legal expenses over the next 12 months. The Company’s ability to continue to meet its obligations and to achieve its business objectives is dependent upon, amongand other things, raising additional capital, or generating sufficient revenue in excess of costs. At such time as the Company requires additional funding, the Company will seek to secure such additionalbest-efforts funding from various possible sources, including the public equity market, private financings,debt financing, sales of assets, or collaborative arrangements and debt. If the Company raises additional capital through the issuance of equity securities or securities convertible into equity, stockholders will experience dilution, and such securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of common stock or convertible senior notes.arrangements. If the Company raises additional funds by issuing debt, the Company may be subject to limitations on its operations, through debt covenants or other restrictions. If the Company obtains additional funds through arrangements with collaborators or strategic partners, the Company may be required to relinquish its rights to certain technologies. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional funds or raise them on acceptable terms. If the Company is unable to obtain financing on acceptable terms, it may be unable to execute its business plan, the Company could be required to delay or reduce the scope ofcurtail its operations, and the Company may not be able to pay off its obligations, if and when they come due.

 


The Company will continue to work with various funding sources to secure additional debt and equity financings. However, Digerati cannot offer any assurance that it will beWe have been successful in executingraising debt in the aforementioned plans to continuepast and as a going concern.

Digerati’s consolidateddescribed in Notes 6 and 8. The Company’s financial statements as of April 30, 2019July 31, 2020, do not include any adjustments that might result from the inability to implement or execute Digerati’sthe Company’s plans to improve our ability to continue as a going concern.

The Plan authorizes the grant of up to 7.5 million stock options, restricted common shares, non-restricted common shares and other awards to employees, directors,Internal Revenue Service and certain other persons. state taxing authorities. As of July 31, 2020, Nexogy had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $1,972,000 to reduce future federal income tax liabilities; the loss carryforwards will start to expire in 2037. Under the recently enacted Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), the new effective Corporate flat tax rate is 21% (effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017).

NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2020, AND 2019

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in connection with Nexogy, Inc.’s, business combination with Nexogy Acquisition, Inc., a Florida Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of T3 Communications, Inc. (“T3 Nevada”), merged with and into Nexogy, Inc. (“Nexogy”) resulting in Nexogy becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of T3 Nevada (the “Merger”), a subsidiary of Digerati Technologies, Inc.(“Digerati”), and to comply with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for inclusion by Digerati in its current report on Form 8-K/A.

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Nexogy, Inc. (“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, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended July 31, 2020.  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 the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.  Notes to the interim financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the year ended July 31, 2020 have been omitted.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

Financial Condition

The Company’s financial statements as of October 31, 2020, have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. Since the Company’s inception in 2005, the Company has incurred net losses and accumulated a deficit of approximately $3,035,000, a working capital deficit of approximately $2,851,000 and total liabilities of $4,455,000, which includes $3,107,000 in notes payable to related parties, which raises substantial doubt about Nexogy’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Management Plans to Continue as a Going Concern

Management believes that available resources as of October 31, 2020, will not be sufficient to fund the Company’s operations and legal expenses over the next 12 months. The Company’s ability to continue to meet its obligations and to achieve its business objectives is dependent upon, and other things, raising additional capital, or generating sufficient revenue in excess of costs. At such time as the Company requires additional funding, the Company will seek to secure such best-efforts funding from various possible sources, including debt financing, sales of assets, or collaborative arrangements. If the Company raises additional funds by issuing debt, the Company may be subject to limitations on its operations, through debt covenants or other restrictions. If the Company obtains additional funds through arrangements with collaborators or strategic partners, the Company may be required to relinquish its rights to certain technologies. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional funds or raise them on acceptable terms. If the Company is unable to obtain financing on acceptable terms, it may be unable to execute its business plan, the Company could be required to curtail its operations, and the Company may not be able to pay off its obligations, if and when they come due.

We have been successful in raising debt in the past and as described in Notes 4 and 5. The Company’s financial statements as of October 31, 2020, do not include any adjustments that might result from the inability to implement or execute the Company’s plans to improve our ability to continue as a going concern.

As described in Note 6, on November 17, 2020, Nexogy Acquisition, Inc., a Florida Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of T3 Communications, Inc. (“T3 Nevada”), merged with and into Nexogy, Inc. (“Nexogy”) resulting in Nexogy becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of T3 Nevada (the “Merger”). As part of this merger, Nexogy will have access to working capital from T3 Nevada. In addition, the Company anticipate realizing some costs savings as we consolidate networks and multiple technical, operational, and administrative functions. However, there can be no assurance that the planned costs savings will be realized during the anticipated periods. There can be no guarantee that the planned costs savings will generate the expected reductions on the schedule anticipated by management.

Each Note shall bear interest at a rate of ten percent (10%) per annum (the “Interest Rate”), which interest shall be paid by the Company to each Investor in shares of Common Stock at any time an Investor sends a notice of conversion to the Company. Each of the four Investor is entitled to, at its option, convert all or any amount of the principal amount and any accrued but unpaid interest of the Note into shares of the Company’s Common Stock, at any time, at a conversion price for each share of Common Stock equal to (i) the lowest trading price of the Common Stock (as defined in the Note) as reported on the National Quotations Bureau OTC Marketplace exchange upon which the Company’s shares are traded during the twenty (20) consecutive Trading Day period immediately preceding the issuance date of each Note; or (ii) 60% multiplied by the lowest traded price of the Common Stock during the twenty (20) consecutive Trading Day period immediately preceding the Trading Day that the Company receives a notice of conversion (the “Variable Conversion Price”). The Variable Conversion Price may further be adjusted in connection with the terms of the Notes.

Each of the Notes may be prepaid until 180 days from the issuance date with the following penalties: (i) if a Note is prepaid within ninety (90) days of the issuance date, then the prepayment premium shall be 125% of the outstanding principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest; (ii) if a Note is prepaid during the period beginning on the date which is ninety-one (91) days following the issuance date, and ending on the date which is one hundred eighty (180) days following the issuance date, then the prepayment premium shall be 130% of the outstanding principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest. Such prepayment redemptions must be closed and funded within three days of giving notice of prepayment or the right to prepay shall be forfeited.

The Company shall at all times reserve a minimum of six (6) times the number of its authorized and unissued common stock (the “Reserved Amounts”), free from preemptive rights, to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the full conversion of the each of the Notes. Upon full conversion of each Note, any shares remaining in such reserve shall be cancelled. The Company will, from time to time, increases the Reserved Amount in accordance with the Company’s obligations under each of the Notes.


Pursuant to the terms of the SPAs, for so long as any of the Investors owns any shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of a Note (the “Conversion Shares”), the Company covenants to secure and maintain the listing of such shares of Common Stock. The Company is also subject to certain customary negative covenants under the Notes and the SPAs, including but not limited to the requirement to maintain its corporate existence and assets, subject to certain exceptions, and not to make any offers or sales of any security under circumstances that would require registration of or stockholder approval for the Notes or the Conversion Shares.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. A fair value hierarchy is used which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The fair value hierarchy based on the three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:

Level 1– Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2– Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3– Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.

For certain of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of our long-term debt approximates its fair value based on the quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or the current rates offered to us for debt of the same remaining maturities.

Our derivative liabilities as of April 30, 2019 and July 31, 2018 were $1,302,597 and $632,268, respectively.

The fair market value of all derivatives during the nine months ended April 30, 2019 was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model which used the following assumptions:

 

Expected dividend yield0.00%
Expected stock price volatility165.84% - 190.31%
Risk-free interest rate2.21% -2.93%
Expected term0.58 - 2.75 years

Level 3 inputs.

The following table provides a summary of the changes in fair value of the derivative financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs:

Balance at July 31, 2018 $632,268 
Derivative from new convertible promissory notes  509,000 
Derivative liability resolved to additional paid in capital due to debt conversion  (432,276)
Derivative loss  593,605 
Balance at April 30, 2019 $1,302,597
