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, 2018 contained in the Company’s Form 10-K filed on November 16, 2018 have been omitted.

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, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historic accounting under Topic 605. There was no impact to the opening balance of accumulated deficit or revenues for the nine months ended April 30, 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.

Disaggregation of Revenue

Summary of disaggregated revenue is as follows (in thousands):

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, 2019 and July 31, 2018, were $20,558 and $12,155, 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, 2019 and July 31, 2018, were $314,000 and $262,000, 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, 2019 and the nine months ended April 30, 2018, were $39,828 and $25,717, respectively.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

Financial Condition

Digerati’s consolidated financial statements for the nine months ending April 30, 2019 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 $84,434,000 and a working capital deficit of approximately $6,035,000 which raises 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 April 30, 2019 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

Below are summarized changes in intangible assets at April 30, 2019 and July 31, 2018:

Total amortization expense for the periods ended April 30, 2019 and 2018 was approximately $284,571 and $15,000, respectively. Additional details on intangible assets are disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-K filed on November 16, 2018.

NOTE 4 – 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 nine months ended April 30, 2019, we issued:

The fair market value of all options issued was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model which used the following assumptions:

Digerati recognized approximately $403,000 and $585,000 in stock-based compensation expense to employees during the nine months ended April 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Unamortized compensation cost totaled $388,732 and $338,000 at April 30, 2019 and April 30, 2018, respectively.

A summary of the stock options as of April 30, 2019 and July 31, 2018 and the changes during the nine months ended April 30, 2019 and July 31,2018:

The aggregate intrinsic value (the difference between the Company’s closing stock price on the last trading day of the nine months and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) of the 5,240,000 and 3,415,000 stock options outstanding at April 30, 2019 and July 31, 2018 was $55,750 and $706,372, respectively.

In August 2018, Digerati secured $40,000 from an accredited investor under a private placement and issued 80,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $0.50 per share and warrants to purchase an additional 15,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share. We determined that the warrants issued in connection with the private placement were equity instruments and did not represent derivative instruments. The Company adopted a sequencing policy and determined that the warrants with fixed exercise price were excluded from derivative consideration.

In October 2018, Digerati issued 200,000 warrants under an extension of payments to existing promissory notes, with a combined current principal balance of $75,000, the warrants vested at time of issuance.

The Company adopted a sequencing policy and determined that the warrants with fixed exercise price were excluded from derivative consideration.

In January 2019, Digerati cancelled 260,000 warrants with an exercise price of $0.15. Additionally, the Company issued 260,000 common shares to replace these warrants, in conjunction with two promissory notes with a principal balance of $50,000, in addition at the time of issuance we recognized a discount of $36,000.

In February 2019, the Company secured $50,000 from accredited investors under a private placement and issued 50,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock at an conversion price of $0.30 per share and warrants to purchase an additional 100,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $0.20 per share. We determined that the warrants issued in connection with the private placement were equity instruments and did not represent derivative instruments.

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:

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:

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, 2018 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 16, 2018.

 

The following is a discussion of the unaudited interim consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Digerati for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2019 and 2018. 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, 2018 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 16, 2018. For purposes of the following discussion, fiscal 2019 or 2019 refers to the year ended July 31, 2019 and fiscal 2018 or 2018 refers to the year ended July 31, 2018.

 

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”), 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, 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 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 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.

Results of Operations

 

Three Months ended April 30, 2019 Compared to Three Months ended April 30, 2018

 

Cloud-based hosted Services. Cloud-based hosted services revenue increased by $1,289,000, or 658% from the three months ended April 30, 2018 to the three months ended April 30, 2019. The increase in revenue between periods is primarily attributed to the increase in total customers acquired from the acquisitions of T3 Communications, Inc. and Synergy Telecom’s assets. Our total number of customers increased from 145 customers for the three months ended April 30, 2018 to 688 customers for the three months ended April 30, 2019. Additionally, our average monthly revenue per customer increased from $466 for the three months ended April 30, 2018 to $723 for the three months ended April 30, 2019.

 

Cost of Services (exclusive of depreciation and amortization). The cost of services increased by $664,000, or 627%, from the three months ended April 30, 2018 to the three months ended April 30, 2019. The increase in cost of services between periods is primarily attributed to the additional costs arising from our acquisitions and the acquired customers. Although our consolidated cost of services increased between periods, our consolidated gross margin increased from 46% during the three months ended April 30, 2018 to 48% during the three months ended April 30, 2019. The increase in gross margin between periods is attributed to a higher concentration of enterprise customers revenue, which generate a slightly higher margin than services provided via resellers.

 

Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses (exclusive of legal and professional fees). SG&A expenses increased by $543,000, or 164%, from the three months ended April 30, 2018 to the three months ended April 30, 2019. The increase in SG&A expenses between periods is primarily attributed to the additional salaries and other employee related expenses of approximately $417,000 attributable to the T3 Communications, Inc. acquisition.

Stock Compensation expense. Stock compensation expense decreased by $9,000, from the three months ended April 30, 2018 to the three months ended April 30, 2019. The decrease between periods is attributed to recognition of stock option expense of $82,000 associated to the stock options granted to various employees during FY2018. In addition, during the three months ended April 30, 2018 the Company recognized $271,000 in warrant expense for warrants issued in conjunction with various promissory notes secured during the quarter ended April 30, 2018.

Legal and professional fees. Legal and professional fees increased by $27,000, or 40%, from three months ended April 30, 2018 to the three months ended April 30, 2019. The increase between periods is attributed to the recognition during FY 2019 of $20,000 in professional expenses incurred related to investor relations services. In addition, during the quarter ended April 30, 2019 the Company recognized $8,000 in legal expenses associated with the preparation of the consolidated tax return for 2018.

Depreciation and amortization increased by $117,000, from the three months ended April 30, 2018 to the three months ended April 30, 2019, mainly due to increase in amortization expense and depreciation expense related to the intangible and tangible assets obtained in the acquisitions of T3 Communications Inc., and Synergy Telecom.

 

Operating loss. The Company reported an operating loss of $767,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2019 compared to an operating loss of $714,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2018. The increase in operating loss between periods is primarily due to the increase of $543,000 in SG&A expenses, increase in legal expenses of $27,000 and the increase of $117,000 in depreciation and amortization. These increases were slightly offset by the increase of $625,000 in gross margin and the decrease of $9,000 in stock compensation expense.

 

Gain (loss) on derivative instruments. Gain (loss) on derivative instruments increased by $856,000 from three months ended April 30, 2018 to the three months ended April 30, 2019.

Income tax expense. During the three months ended April 30, 2019, the Company recognized an income tax expense of $10,000. The primary reason for the income tax expense is due to the accrual of state income tax.

 

Interest expense. Interest income (expense) increased by $335,000 from the three months ended April 30, 2018 to the three months ended April 30, 2019. The primary reason for the increase in interest expenses is attributed to the recognition of non-cash interest / accretion expense of $248,000 related to the adjustment to the present value of various convertible notes and debentures. Additionally, the company recognized $90,000 in interest expense for cash interest payments on various promissory notes, accrual of $43,000 for interest expense for various promissory notes and interest income of $2,400.

Net loss including noncontrolling interest for the three months ended April 30, 2019 was $250,000 compared to a net loss for the three months ended April 30, 2018 of $708,000. The improvement in net loss including noncontrolling interest between periods is primarily due to the improvement of $856,000 in loss on derivative instruments and the improvement of $625,000 in gross margin. These improvements were offset between periods by the increase in SG&A of $543,000, the increase in legal and professional fees of $27,000 and the increase of $117,000 in depreciation and amortization.

Cloud-based hosted Services. Cloud-based hosted services revenue increased by $4,090,000, or 1015% from the nine months ended April 30, 2018 to the nine months ended April 30, 2019. The increase in revenue between periods is primarily attributed to the increase in total customers acquired from the acquisitions of T3 Communications, Inc. and Synergy Telecom’s assets. Our total number of customers increased from 145 customers for the nine months ended April 30, 2018 to 688 customers for the nine months ended April 30, 2019. Additionally, our average monthly revenue per customer increased from $418 for the nine months ended April 30, 2018 to $738 for the nine months ended April 30, 2019.

The cost of services increased by $2,073,000, or 833%, from the nine months ended April 30, 2018 to the nine months ended April 30, 2019. The increase in cost of services between periods is primarily attributed to the additional costs arising from our acquisitions and the acquired customers. Although our consolidated cost of services increased between periods, our consolidated gross margin increased from 38% during the nine months ended April 30, 2018 to 48% during the nine months ended April 30, 2019. The increase in gross margin between periods is attributed to a higher concentration of enterprise customers revenue, which generate a higher margin than services provided via resellers.

 

Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses (exclusive of legal and professional fees). SG&A expenses increased by $1,479,000, or 178%, from the nine months ended April 30, 2018 to the nine months ended April 30, 2019. The increase in SG&A expenses between periods is primarily attributed to the additional salaries and other employee related expenses of approximately $1,246,000 attributable to the T3 Communications, Inc. acquisition and $136,000 increase in additional salaries and other related expenses attributable to the asset acquisition from Synergy Telecom.

 

Stock Compensation expense. Stock compensation expense decreased by $597,000, from the nine months ended April 30, 2018 to the nine months ended April 30, 2019. The decrease between periods is attributed to the recognition during FY 2018 of stock compensation expense of $226,000 associated with the Profit-Sharing Plan contribution and stock compensation expense of $155,000 for the stock issued in lieu of cash to the Company’s management team. In addition, during the nine months ended April 30, 2018 the Company recognized $292,000 in warrant expense for warrants issued to various professionals.

Legal and professional fees. Legal and professional fees decreased by $54,000, or 15%, from nine months ended April 30, 2018 to the nine months ended April 30, 2019. The decrease between periods is attributed to the recognition during FY 2018 of $159,000 in professional and legal expenses incurred related to the professionals conducting the due diligence and audit work on the acquisition of T3 Communications. The Company only recognized $34,000 in legal and professional expenses associated with due diligence for other potential acquisitions during the nine months ending April 30, 2019. In addition, during FY2019 the Company recognized $62,500 in professional fees related to investor relations services. Also, during the period ended April 30, 2019 the Company recognized $8,000 in legal expenses associated with the preparation of the consolidated tax return for 2018.

22

 

 

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased by $416,000, from the nine months ended April 30, 2018 to the nine months ended April 30, 2019, mainly due to increase in amortization expense and depreciation expense related to the intangible and tangible assets obtained in the acquisitions of T3 Communications Inc., and Synergy Telecom during fiscal 2018.

 

Operating loss. The Company reported an operating loss of $1,676,000 for the nine months ended April 30, 2019 compared to an operating loss of $2,452,000 for the nine months ended April 30, 2018. The improvement in operating loss between periods is primarily due to the increase of $2,017,000 in gross margin, the decrease of $597,000 in stock compensation expense and the decrease of $54,000 in legal and professional fees. These positive improvements were slightly offset by the increase of $1,479,000 in SG&A and the increase of $416,000 in depreciation and amortization.

 

Gain (loss) on derivative instruments. Gain on derivative instruments increased by $749,000 between periods. We are required to re-measure all derivative instruments at the end of each reporting period and adjust those instruments to market, as a result of the re- measurement of all derivative instruments we recognized a loss between the nine months ended April 30, 2018 and 2019.

 

Income tax expense. During the nine months ended April 30, 2019, the Company recognized an income tax expense of $37,000. The primary reason for the income tax expense is due to the accrual of state income tax.

 

Interest expense. Interest income (expense) increased by $1,164,000 from the nine months ended April 30, 2018 to the nine months ended April 30, 2019.

Additionally, the company recognized $355,000 in interest expense for cash interest payments on various promissory notes, accrual of $96,000 for interest expense for various promissory notes and interest income of $5,400.

Net loss including noncontrolling interest for the nine months ended April 30, 2019 was $3,721,000 compared to a net loss for the nine months ended April 30, 2018 of $2,547,000. The increase in net loss between periods is primarily attributed to the increase of $1,479,000 in SG&A, the increase of $416,000 in depreciation and amortization, the increase of $749,000 in loss on derivative instruments and the increase of $1,164,000 in interest expense. The increases were slightly offset by the increase of $2,017,000 in gross margin, the decrease of $597,000 in stock compensation expense and the decrease of $54,000 in legal and professional fees and professional fees and the recognition of $3,000 in recovery of bad debt for accounts that were previously deemed uncollectable.

Cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended April 30, 2019 was $43,000 for the purchase of equipment.

 

Cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended April 30, 2019 was $414,000, the Company secured $40,000 from an accredited investor through the issuance of 80,000 restricted common shares with a price of $0.50 per share and 15,000 warrants with an exercise price of $0.50 per share. Also, the Company secured $75,000 from an accredited investor through the issuance of 258,621 restricted common shares with a price of $0.29 per share. The Company also secured $150,000 from an accredited investor through the issuance of 600,000 restricted common shares with a price of $0.25 per share. Furthermore, the Company secured $50,000 from accredited investors under a private placement and issued 50,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock at an conversion price of $0.30 per share and warrants to purchase an additional 100,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $0.20 per share. The Company also secured $7,500 for the exercise of 75,000 warrants, with an exercise price of $0.10 per warrant. In addition, the Company secured $100,000 from 3rd party promissory notes. The Company also secured $509,000 from convertible notes, net of issuance costs and discounts. Furthermore, the Company secured $25,000 from a promissory note with a related party. Also, the Company made principal payments of $94,000 on related party notes, $301,000 in principal payments on convertible notes, $125,000 in principal payments on 3rd party promissory notes and $22,000 in principal payments on financing leases. Overall, our net operating, investing and financing activities during the nine months ended April 30, 2019 provided approximately $72,000 of our available cash.

 

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, 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. 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 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 $95,000 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 April 30, 2019, our total liabilities were approximately $7,113,000, which included $1,303,000 in derivative liabilities. We will continue to use our available cash on hand to cover our deficiencies in operating expenses.

 

24

 

 

We estimate that we need approximately $500,000 of additional working capital to fund our ongoing operations 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.

 

Digerati’s consolidated financial statements for the nine months ending April 30, 2019 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 $84,434,000 and a working capital deficit of approximately $6,035,000 which raises doubt about Digerati’s ability to continue as a going concern.

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 April 30, 2019, 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 not 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, as there has been no implementation to date of processes and/or procedures to remedy internal control weaknesses and deficiencies.
