NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Digerati Technologies, Inc. (“Digerati” 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, 2017 contained in the Company’s Form 10-K filed on December 14, 2017 have been omitted.

Income Taxes

The effective tax rate was 0% for the three months ended October 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Company 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. The Company 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, the Company 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, the Company 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 October 31, 2017 we have no liability for unrecognized tax benefits.

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.

Reclassifications

For comparability, certain prior period amounts have been reclassified, where applicable, to conform to the financial statement presentation used in fiscal 2018. The reclassifications have no impact on net loss.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

Financial Condition

Digerati’s consolidated financial statements for the period ending October 31, 2017 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 $78,007,000 since 1993 and a working capital deficit of approximately $557,000 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, 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 additional 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.

The Company will continue to work with various best-efforts 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 October 31, 2017 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 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

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. Digerati’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 three months ended October 31, 2017, we did not issue any common stock to our employees. Digerati recognized approximately $56,000 and $0 in stock based compensation expense to employees during the three months ended October 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Unamortized compensation cost totaled $37,000 and $0 at October 31, 2017 and October 31, 2016, respectively.

NOTE 4 – NON-STANDARDIZED PROFIT SHARING PLAN

We currently provide a Non-Standardized Profit Sharing Plan ("Plan"), adopted September 15, 2006. Under the plan our employees qualify to participate in the plan after one year of employment. Contributions under the plan are based on 25% of the annual base salary of each eligible employee up to $54,000 per year. Contributions under the plan are fully vested upon funding. During the period ended October 31, 2017 and October 31, 2016, the Company did not make any contributions under the plan.

NOTE 5 – EQUITY

During the three months ended October 31, 2017, the Company issued the following shares of common stock:

In August, 2017, the Company issued an aggregate of 480,000 shares of common stock for $240,000 and 3-year warrants to purchase 90,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share.

In September, 2017, the Company issued an aggregate of 12,500 shares of common stock with a market value at time of issuance of $4,375. The shares were issued for consulting services.

In October, 2017, the Company issued an aggregate of 80,000 shares of common stock for $40,000 and 3-year warrants to purchase 15,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share.

NOTE 6 – SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS

During the three months ended October 31, 2017, the Company derived a significant amount of revenue from four customers, comprising 19%, 17%, 11% and 8% of the total revenue for the period, respectively, compared to four customers, comprising 34%, 24%, 16% and 5% of the total revenue for the three months ended October 31, 2016.

During the three months ended October 31, 2017, the Company derived a significant amount of accounts receivable from three customers, comprising 56%, 18% and 11% of the total accounts receivable for the period, compared to three customers, comprising 50%, 37% and 6% of the total accounts receivable for the three months ended October 31, 2016.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. “Forward-looking statements” are those statements that describe management’s beliefs and expectations about the future. We have identified forward-looking statements by using words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “may,” “expect,” “plan,” and “intend.” Although we believe these expectations are reasonable, our operations involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Some of these risks include the availability and capacity of competitive data transmission networks and our ability to raise sufficient capital to continue operations. Additional risks are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2017 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 14, 2017.

The following is a discussion of the unaudited interim consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Digerati for the three months ended October 31, 2017 and 2016. It should be read in conjunction with our audited Consolidated Financial Statements, the Notes thereto, and the other financial information included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2017 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 14, 2017. For purposes of the following discussion, fiscal 2018 or 2018 refers to the year ended July 31, 2018 and fiscal 2017 or 2017 refers to the year ended July 31, 2017.

Overview

Digerati Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (including our subsidiaries, “we,” “us,” “Company” or “Digerati”), through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Shift8 Networks, Inc. (“Shift8”), provides a portfolio of Internet-based telephony products and services through our cloud application platform and session-based communication network, which is interconnected to numerous U.S. and foreign service providers. Our services are designed to provide enterprise-class, carrier-grade services to small-to-medium sized businesses ("SMB") at affordable monthly rates. Our services, known as Unified Communications as a Service (“UCaaS”) or cloud communications, 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™.

History

Digerati was formed in 2004 as the successor to a business originally commenced by Latcomm International, Inc., a Canadian company formed in 1994. We began providing communication services in 1995 along the U.S.-Mexico corridor to capitalize on the opportunities created by the deregulation of the telecommunication industries within Latin America. Through FY 2012 our principal business was providing transportation of voice traffic for other telecommunication service providers, wireless carriers and regional Internet telephony providers using Voice over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) technologies.

During FY 2016 Flagship Energy Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Digerati, entered into an Agreement with a Texas-based contract-for-hire oil and gas operator (“Operator”). Under the Agreement, Flagship utilized the Operator for the drilling, completion and the initial operations of a shallow oil and gas well in conjunction with the purchase of 100% of Operator’s working interest and 80% of its Net Revenue Interest. Under the Agreement, the Operator agreed to transfer all field-level operations and assign 100% of a certain oil, gas and mineral lease to Flagship upon demand, which included a tract of land located in South Texas. Additionally, Flagship entered into a Joint Operating Agreement ("JOA") with Operator, whereby the parties agreed to develop the oil and gas well or wells for the production and retrieval of oil and gas commodities as provided for in the oil, gas and mineral lease. During the fiscal 2017 the Company recognized a loss of $248,000 for the total capitalized investment amount in the oil and gas properties.

In May 2017, Shift8 and T3 Acquisition, Inc., a Florida corporation (“Acquisition Sub”), and newly formed wholly owned subsidiary of Shift8, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with T3 Communications, Inc., a Florida corporation (“T3”). The Merger Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, the Acquisition Sub will be merged with and into T3, with T3 continuing as the surviving corporation and as a wholly owned subsidiary of Shift8. The Company anticipates closing the transaction during the second quarter of fiscal year 2018, the Merger has been approved by the Shareholders of T3 and is subject to certain customary closing conditions. In November 2017, under an Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, Shift8 funded to T3 a nonrefundable extension fee of $100,000 to extend the closing date until November 28, 2017. In December 2017, Shift8 funded to T3 a second nonrefundable extension fee payment of $100,000 to extend the closing date until December 22, 2017. Upon closing, the extension fee total of $200,000 will be credited towards the purchase price for the acquisition of T3.

During the quarter ended October 31, 2017, we have raised $280,000 through the issuance of 560,000 shares of Digerati common stock and three-year warrants to purchase up to 105,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share.

Recent Developments

On December 1, 2017, Shift8 Technologies, In., a Nevada corporation (“Shift8”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Digerati Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and Synergy Telecom, Inc., a Texas corporation ("Synergy"), closed a transaction to acquire all the assets, assumed all customers, and critical vendor arrangements from Synergy. The agreed purchase price was $450,000. Shift8 paid $125,000 upon execution of the Agreement and issued 500,000 shares of common stock with an agreed market value of $200,000. In addition, Shift8 entered into a promissory note with the seller for $125,000 with an effective annual interest rate of 6%, 5 quarterly payments and a maturity date of February 28, 2019.

Sources of Revenue and Direct Cost

Sources of revenue:

Global VoIP Services: We currently provide VoIP communication services on a limited basis to U.S. and foreign telecommunications companies that lack transmission facilities, require additional capacity or do not have the regulatory licenses to terminate traffic in Mexico, Asia, the Middle East and Latin America. Typically, these telecommunications companies offer their services to the public for domestic and international long-distance services.

Cloud-based hosted Services: We provide enhanced VoIP services to resellers and enterprise customers. The service includes fully hosted IP/PBX services, mobile applications, SIP trunking, call center applications, interactive voice response auto attendant, call recording, simultaneous calling, voicemail to email conversion, and multiple customized IP/PBX features in a hosted or cloud environment.

Direct Costs:

Global VoIP Services: We incur transmission and termination charges from our suppliers and the providers of the infrastructure and network. The cost is based on rate per minute, volume of minutes transported and terminated through the network. Additionally, we incur fixed Internet bandwidth charges and per minute billing charges. In some cases, we incur installation charges from certain carriers. These installation costs are passed on to our customers for the connection to our VoIP network.

Cloud-based hosted Services: We incur bandwidth and co-location charges in connection with enhanced VoIP services. The bandwidth charges are incurred as part of the connection between our customers to allow them access to our services.

Results of Operations

Three Months ended October 31, 2017 Compared to Three Months ended October 31, 2016

Cloud-based hosted Services. Cloud-based hosted services revenue increased by $11,000, or 25%, from the quarter ended October 31, 2016 to the quarter ended October 31, 2017. The increase in revenue between periods is primarily attributed to the increase in customers that generated monthly recurring services revenue. Hosted services include the following, fully hosted IP/PBX services, IP trunking, call center applications, interactive voice response auto attendant, call recording, simultaneous calling, voicemail to email conversion, SIP trunking and multiple other IP/PBX features in a hosted environment.

Cost of Services (exclusive of depreciation and amortization). The cost of services increased by $12,000, from the quarter ended October 31, 2016 to the quarter ended October 31, 2017. The increase in cost of services is as a result of the increase in variable cost associated with the increase in revenue, the increase in cost related to additional bandwidth added to our network and the increase in additional hardware/devices deployed for our Value-Added Resellers ("VAR's").

Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses (exclusive of legal and professional fees). SG&A expenses decreased by $77,000, or 28%, from the quarter ended October 31, 2016 to the quarter ended October 31, 2017. The decrease is primarily attributed to the reduction in cash compensation to the Company's management team, the reduction in cash compensation was recognized during the three months ended October 31, 3017, thus the reduction in SG&A between periods.

Stock Compensation Expense. Stock compensation expense increased by $56,000, or 100%, from the quarter ended October 31, 2016 to the quarter ended October 31, 2017. The increase is primarily attributed to the recognition of stock option expense associated to the stock options granted to various employees during FY2017. There were no outstanding options during the quarter ended October 31, 2016, as a result the Company did not recognized any stock options expense during the period.

Legal and professional fees. Legal and professional fees increased by $109,000 from the quarter ended October 31, 2016 to the quarter ended October 31, 2017. The increase is attributed to professional and legal expenses incurred related to the professionals conducting the due diligence on an acquisition.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization remained comparable between periods.

Operating loss. The Company reported an operating loss of $370,000 for the three months ended October 31, 2017 compared to an operating loss of $282,000 for the three months ended October 31, 2016. The increase in operating loss between periods is primarily due to the $109,000 increase in legal and professional fees and the increase of $56,000 in stock compensation expense. The increase was slightly offset between periods by the decrease in SG&A of $77,000.

Net loss attributed to Digerati Technologies, Inc. Net loss attributed to Digerati Technologies, Inc. increased by $88,000 or 31%, from the quarter ended October 31, 2016 to the quarter ended October 31, 2017. The increase in operating loss between periods is primarily due to the $109,000 increase in legal and professional fees and the increase of $56,000 in stock compensation expense. The increase was slightly offset between periods by the decrease in SG&A of $77,000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Position: We had a consolidated cash balance of $709,000 as of October 31, 2017. Net cash consumed by operating activities during the period ended October 31, 2017 was approximately $244,000, primarily as a result of operating expenses, that included an increase of $14,000 in accrued liabilities and $62,000 in accounts payable.

Cash provided by financing activities during the period ended October 31, 2017 was $280,000, the Company secured the funds from various accredited investors through the issuance of 560,000 restricted common shares with a price of $0.50 per share and 105,000 warrants with an exercise price of $0.50 per share. Overall, our net operating, investing and financing activities during the period ended October 31, 2017 improved by approximately $36,000 of cash.

We are currently taking initiatives to reduce our overall cash deficiencies on a monthly basis. During fiscal 2018 we anticipate reducing fixed costs, professional fees and general expenses, in addition, 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 invest in a new marketing and sales strategy to grow our monthly recurring revenue; we anticipate utilizing our value-added resellers 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. On May 8, 2017 we entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger to acquire T3, a leading provider of cloud communication and broadband solutions in Southwest Florida. We anticipate closing the acquisition during the second quarter of fiscal year 2018. The acquisition of T3 will allow the Company to accelerate its revenue growth and expand into new markets.

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, 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 $85,000 per month, including wages, rent, utilities and corporate professional fees. As described elsewhere herein, we are not generating sufficient cash from operations to pay for our ongoing operating expenses, or to pay our current liabilities. As of October 31, 2017, our total liabilities were approximately $1,431,000. 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 of additional working capital to fund our ongoing operations during Fiscal 2018.

In August 2017, the Company raised $240,000 through the issuance of 480,000 shares of common stock and three-year warrants to purchase 90,000 shares of common stock at $0.50 per share.

In October 2017, the Company issued an aggregate of 80,000 shares of common stock for $40,000 and 3-year warrants to purchase 15,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share.

Digerati’s consolidated financial statements for the period ending October 31, 2017 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 $78,007,000 and a working capital deficit of approximately $557,000 which raises substantial doubt about Digerati’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks.

Not Applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended October 31, 2017, our Principal Executive Officer ("PEO") and Principal Financial Officer ("PFO") evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our PEO and PFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were effective such that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

(b) Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
