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, 2021, contained in the Company’s Form 10-K filed on October 26, 2021 have been omitted.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the respective period presented in the Company’s accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Fully-diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similarly to basic income (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of dilutive Common Stock equivalents using the treasury stock method for options and warrants and the if-converted method for convertible debt.

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 28,000,000 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, 2022, we believe that the treasury shares 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, 2022, and 2021, the Company did not derive revenues of 10% or more from any single customer.
As of April 30, 2022, and 2021, the Company did not have outstanding accounts receivable of 10% or more from any single customer.
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 derived from cloud-based hosted services 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 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):
| For the Three Months ended April 30, | For the Nine Months ended April 30, | |||||||||||||||
| 2022 | 2021 | 2022 | 2021 | |||||||||||||
| Cloud software and service revenue | $ | 8,092 | $ | 3,666 | $ | 15,677 | $ | 8,440 | ||||||||
| Product revenue | 71 | 85 | 282 | 189 | ||||||||||||
| Total operating revenues | $ | 8,163 | $ | 3,751 | $ | 15,959 | $ | 8,629 | ||||||||
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, 2022, and July 31, 2021, were $7,486 and $17,661, 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, 2022, and July 31, 2021, were $1,279,974 and $19,984, respectively.
Customer deposits
The Company in some instances requires customers to make deposits for the last month of services, equipment, installation charges and training. As equipment is installed and training takes places the deposits are then applied to revenue. The deposit for the last month of services is applied to any outstanding balances if services are cancelled. If the customer’s account is paid in full, the Company will refund the full deposit in the month following service termination. As of April 30, 2022, and July 31, 2021, Digerati’s customer deposits balance was $860,341 and $0, respectively. The customer deposit balance is included as part of deferred income on the consolidated balance sheet.
Costs to Obtain a Customer Contract
Direct incremental costs of obtaining a contract, consisting of sales commissions, are deferred, and amortized over the estimated life of the customer, which currently averages 36 months. The Company calculates the estimated life of the customer on an annual basis. The Company classifies deferred commissions as prepaid expenses or other noncurrent assets based on the timing of when it expects to recognize the expense. As of April 30, 2022, the Company had $744,000 in deferred commissions/contract costs. Sales commissions expensed for the nine months ended April 30, 2022, and April 30, 2021, were $1,463,989 and $576,476, respectively. The cost to obtain customer contract balance is included as part of prepaid expenses on the consolidated balance sheet.
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.
8
Contingencies
The Company acts as a collection agent for various government authorities, including but not limited to the Federal Communications Commissions (“FCC”), state authorities such as the California Public Utilities Commission (“PUC”), and other state and local taxes including the California Utility User Tax (“UUT”). The Company performed a review of the regulatory classification of its services and its federal and state regulatory and transactional tax obligations and determined the Company understated its remittances. As of April 30, 2022, the Company’s outstanding aggregate tax remittance liability, including penalties and interest, was $4,839,000, and is included as accrued taxes and penalties on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. This was a liability assumed as part of the acquisition of Next Level Internet, Inc. (“Next Level” or “NLI”).
Derivative financial instruments.
Digerati does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. However, Digerati evaluates 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 are recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense for each reporting period. For derivative notes payable conversion options and warrants 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.
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, 2022, and July 31, 2021, are approximately $8,922,100 and $16,773,000, respectively.

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.

On May 1, 2018, T3 Communications, Inc. (“T3 Nevada”), a Nevada corporation, entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (“SPA”), whereby in an exchange for $250,000, T3 Nevada agreed to sell to the buyers 199,900 shares of common stock equivalent to 19.99% of the issued and outstanding common shares of T3 Nevada. The $250,000 of the cash received under this transaction was recognized as an adjustment to the carrying amount of the noncontrolling interest and as an increase in additional paid-in capital in T3 Nevada. At the option of the Company, and for a period of five years following the date of the SPA, the 199,900 shares of common stock in T3 Nevada may be converted into Common Stock of Digerati at a ratio of 3.4 shares of DTGI Common stock for everyone (1) share of T3 Nevada at any time after the DTGI Common Stock has a current market price of $1.50 or more per share for 20 consecutive trading days.
For the nine months ending April 30, 2022, and 2021, the Company accounted for a noncontrolling interest of $1,306,000 and $223,000, respectively. Additionally, one of the buyers serves as a Board Member of T3 Communications, Inc., a Florida corporation, one of our operating subsidiaries.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements.
Recent accounting pronouncements, other than below, issued by the 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 impact of this ASU on its financial statements.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
Financial Condition
The Company’s consolidated financial statements for the nine months ending April 30, 2022 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 $110,092,000, a working capital deficit of approximately $25,034,000 and total liabilities of $65,654,000, which includes $8,922,000 in derivative liabilities, which raise 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, 2022 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.
11
We are currently taking initiatives to reduce our overall cash deficiencies on a monthly basis. During fiscal 2022 certain members of our executive 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; and 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. On November 17, 2020, the Company and T3 Nevada (the Company’s majority owned subsidiary), T3 Nevada’s subsidiaries (T3 Nevada and its subsidiaries, collectively, “the T3 Nevada Parties”) entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Post Road Administrative LLC (the “Agent”) 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 various creditors, 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.
On December 20, 2021, the T3 Nevada Parties and Post Road entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) in connection with which T3 Nevada issued an Amended and Restated Term Loan A Note (the “A&R Term Loan A Note”) in replacement of the Term Loan A Note. Under the First Amendment, the Term Loan B Note principal of $3,500,000, accrued interest of $187,442, and amendment fee of $1,418,744 were recapitalized under the revised A&R Term Loan A Note).
Pursuant to the First Amendment, the proceeds of $6,000,000 were used to fund the acquisition of Skynet Telecom LLC’s assets and for general corporate and working capital purposes as well as professional fees and other fees and expenses with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Amendment. Under the first amendment, total new balance of the revised Term Loan A was $22,168,515.
On February 4, 2022, the T3 Nevada Parties and Post Road agreed that Post Road would provide T3 Nevada with a secured loan of $10,000,000 pursuant to a Term Loan C Note. The proceeds of $10,000,000 were used to fund the acquisition of Next Level and for general corporate and working capital purposes as well as professional fees and other fees and expenses with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Amendment.
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.
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, 2022, 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 4 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
In November 2015, the Company adopted the Digerati Technologies, Inc. 2015 Equity Compensation Plan (the “Plan”).

NOTE 13 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Unsecured Convertible Promissory Notes payment
On May 2, 2022, the Company made a quarterly principal payment of $250,000 towards the NLI Unsecured Convertible Promissory Notes.
Unsecured Adjustable Promissory Notes payment
On June 6, 2022, the Company made a quarterly principal payment of $250,000 towards the NLI Unsecured Adjustable Promissory Notes.
Forbearance Agreement and Third Amendment to Credit Agreement
On February 4, 2022, the T3 Nevada Parties and NLI (collectively, the “Loan Parties”) and Post Road entered into a Joinder and Second Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Joinder”) whereby, among other terms, NLI became a guarantor of T3’s obligations pursuant to the Credit Agreement and notes issued pursuant thereto.
On June 13, 2022, the parties to the Joinder entered into a Forbearance Agreement and Third Amendment to Credit Agreement (“Forbearance Agreement”).
The Forbearance Agreement was entered into because certain events of default related to both the Credit Agreement and the Joinder have occurred. The events of default related to financial covenants were failure to maintain a Senior Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of less than 4.05 to 1.00 and failure to comply with a Credit Agreement provision whereby the Loan Parties are not allowed to make annual Capital Expenditures (as defined in the Credit Agreement) greater than $379,190.
The events of default unrelated to financial covenants were the Loan Parties’ failure to: (a) deliver certain certificates, financial information and projections, lease, landlord, and control agreements, and evidence of a UCC-3 filing; (b) close or consolidate certain bank accounts; (c) provide ten (10) business days’ notice prior to the Company filing certain filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the Nevada Secretary of State; and (d) engage an industry consultant acceptable to the Agent to consult with the Loan Parties on integration strategy, future acquisitions, operating performance, and various business issues.
Pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement, Post Road agreed to forbear through the Forbearance Period (as defined below) from (i) exercising its rights and remedies with regard to the existing events of default and (ii) requiring compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 11.12 of the Credit Agreement (related to leverage, EBITDA, liquidity, capital expenditures, fixed charge coverage ratio, and churn). The “Forbearance Period” is from June 13, 2022 through the earlier of (a) August 8, 2022, (b) the date on which any other event of default not enumerated in the Forbearance Agreement occurs or is deemed to have occurred, or (c) the date of any failure of any Loan Party to comply with any aspect of the Forbearance Agreement. The forbearance does not constitute a waiver of the defaults enumerated nor does it impair the ability of Post Road to exercise its rights and remedies after the expiration of the Forbearance Period.
In addition, the Forbearance Agreement amends the Credit Agreement to clarify Section 10.15 with regard to the Company’s affirmative covenant to comply with its SEC reporting obligations. It also amends the Credit Agreement to clarify the provisions of the Section 10 (affirmative covenants) whose violation constitute an event of default. Finally, the Forbearance Agreement amends the Joinder to allow T3 Nevada to give the Agent draft copies of its 10-Ks and 10-Qs and 8-Ks for the Agent and its advisors review only five business days (10-Ks) or two business days (10-Qs and 8-Ks) in advance rather than ten business days in advance as originally required by the Joinder.
The Company anticipates implementing remedies by July 31, 2022 to resolve the financial covenants breaches and the breaches regarding delivering a compliance certificate, financial projections, and a landlord agreement along with engaging an industry consultant. The Company and Post Road have agreed to work in good faith to adjust the financial covenants set forth in Section 11.12 of the Credit Agreement to include the financial impact of the acquisition of Skynet and Next Level. As of the date of this filing, the Company cannot predict the final outcome of the negotiations with Post Road.
The other non-financial events of default were covenants that were complied with, however, the compliance was not timely pursuant to the provisions of the Credit Agreement and Joinder. These events of default have not been waived by Post Road.
The foregoing summary of the Forbearance Agreement contains only a brief description of the material terms of the Forbearance Agreement and such description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Forbearance Agreement, filed herewith as Exhibit 10.3 and incorporated by reference herein.
Expired Leases
As detailed in Note 9, two of the Company’s lease agreements (one for a property in Dallas, Texas and one for a property in Miami Gardens, Florida) expired in May 2022. Those leases are now on a month to month basis with the monthly lease payment remaining the same as it was in May 2022. The Company is currently negotiating long-term extensions of those lease agreements although no guarantees can be made that such extensions will be reached.
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock Certificate of Correction

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, 2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 26, 2021.
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, 2022, and 2021. 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, 2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 26, 2021. For purposes of the following discussion, fiscal 2022 or 2022 refers to the year that will end on July 31, 2022, and fiscal 2021 or 2021 refers to the year ended July 31, 2021.
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 and T3 Communications, Inc., respectively, and Nexogy Inc., a Florida corporation, 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 events

(“Next Level” or “NLI”), a service provider engaged in the business of providing cloud based Unified Communications as a Service, collaboration, contact center, managed connectivity and other voice and data services to small, medium, and large enterprises.

Overall, our net operating, investing, and financing activities during the nine months ended April 30, 2022, contributed approximately $895,000 of our available cash.
Digerati’s consolidated financial statements for the nine months ending April 30, 2022, 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 $110,092,000 and a working capital deficit of approximately $25,034,000 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 2022 certain members of our management team will continue to receive a 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, 2022, 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.

As of April 30, 2022, our total liabilities were approximately $65,654,000, which included $8,922,000 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 $80,000 per month of additional working capital to fund our corporate expenses during Fiscal 2022.
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.
Recent Developments Related to the Credit Agreement, A&R Term Loan A Note, and Term Loan C Note
As described in Note 13 to the financial statements under the heading Forbearance Agreement and Third Amendment to Credit Agreement, on June 13, 2022, the parties to the Joinder entered into a Forbearance Agreement and Third Amendment to Credit Agreement (“Forbearance Agreement”).
Prior to the Forbearance Agreement being signed, Post Road did not send a notice of default with regard to or accelerate the maturity of the loans issued pursuant to the Credit Agreement, A&R Term Loan A Note, and Term Loan C Note (collectively, the “PRG Loans”).
Pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement, Post Road agreed to forbear through the Forbearance Period (as defined below) from (i) exercising its rights and remedies with regard to the existing events of default and (ii) requiring compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 11.12 of the Credit Agreement (related to leverage, EBITDA, liquidity, capital expenditures, fixed charge coverage ratio, and churn). The “Forbearance Period” is from June 13, 2022, through the earlier of (a) August 8, 2022, (b) the date on which any other event of default not enumerated in the Forbearance Agreement occurs or is deemed to have occurred, or (c) the date of any failure by the Company to comply with any aspect of the Forbearance Agreement. The forbearance does not constitute a waiver of the defaults enumerated nor does it impair the ability of Post Road to exercise its rights and remedies after the expiration of the Forbearance Period.
The events of default related to financial covenants were failure to maintain a Senior Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of less than 4.05 to 1.00 and failure to comply with a Credit Agreement provision whereby the Loan Parties are not allowed to make annual Capital Expenditures (as defined in the Credit Agreement) greater than $379,190.
The events of default unrelated to financial covenants were the Loan Parties’ failure to: (a) deliver certain certificates, financial information and projections, lease, landlord, and control agreements, and evidence of a UCC-3 filing; (b) close or consolidate certain bank accounts; (c) provide ten (10) business days’ notice prior to the Company filing certain filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the Nevada Secretary of State; and (d) engage an industry consultant acceptable to the Agent to consult with the Loan Parties on integration strategy, future acquisitions, operating performance, and various business issues.
The Forbearance Agreement amends the Joinder to allow T3 Nevada to give the Agent draft copies of its 10-Ks and 10-Qs and 8-Ks for the Agent and its advisors review only five business days (10-Ks) or two business days (10-Qs and 8-Ks) in advance rather than ten business days in advance as originally required by the Joinder. T3 Nevada complied with this obligation with regard to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
The Company anticipates implementing remedies by July 31, 2022 to resolve the financial covenants breaches and the breaches regarding delivering a compliance certificate, financial projections, and a landlord agreement along with engaging an industry consultant. The Company and Post Road have agreed to work in good faith to adjust the financial covenants set forth in Section 11.12 of the Credit Agreement to include the financial impact of the acquisitions of Skynet’s assets and. and the acquisition of Next Level Internet, Inc. As of the date of this filing, the Company cannot predict the final outcome of the negotiations with Post Road.
The other non-financial events of default were covenants that were complied with, however, the compliance was not timely pursuant to the provisions of the Credit Agreement and Joinder. These events of default have not been waived by Post Road.
The PRG Loans are secured by a first-priority security interest in all of the assets of T3 Nevada and guaranteed by T3 Nevada’s subsidiaries. As a result, if Post Road accelerates the maturity of the PRG Loans due to existing or new events of default pursuant to the Credit Agreement, Post Road could foreclose on their security interest and liquidate some or all of these assets, which would harm our business, financial condition and results of operations and could require us to curtail or cease operations.
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 April 30, 2022, 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 PEO and PFO, 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.

Forbearance Agreement
We are reporting the following information in lieu of reporting on a Current Report on Form 8-K under Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
As disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company in November 2020, on November 17, 2020, T3 Nevada (the Company’s majority owned subsidiary), T3 Nevada’s subsidiaries (T3 Nevada and its subsidiaries, collectively, “the T3 Nevada Parties”) entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Post Road Administrative LLC (the “Agent”) 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 was to provide T3 Nevada with a secured loan of up to $20,000,000.
As disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed in December 2021, on December 20, 2021, the parties to the Credit Agreement entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement.

As disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed in February 2022 (the “February 8-K”), on February 4, 2022, the parties to the Credit Agreement agreed that Post Road would lend a further $10 million to T3 Nevada pursuant to a Term Loan C Note. T3 Nevada received net proceeds of $9.75 million pursuant to the Term Loan C Note. T3 Nevada used such loan proceeds to acquire all of the equity interests in Next Level Internet, Inc. (“Next Level”) from its two owners.
As also disclosed in the February 8-K, in connection with the issuance of the Term Loan C Note, on February 4, 2022, the T3 Nevada parties to the Credit Agreement and Next Level (collectively, the “Loan Parties”) and Post Road entered into a Joinder and Second Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Joinder”) whereby, among other terms, Next Level became a guarantor of T3’s obligations pursuant to the Credit Agreement and notes issued pursuant thereto.
On June 13, 2022, the parties to the Joinder entered into a Forbearance Agreement and Third Amendment to Credit Agreement (“Forbearance Agreement”).
The Forbearance Agreement was entered into because certain events of default related to both the Credit Agreement and the Joinder have occurred. The events of default related to financial covenants were failure to maintain a Senior Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of less than 4.05 to 1.00 and failure to comply with a Credit Agreement provision whereby the Loan Parties are not allowed to make annual Capital Expenditures (as defined in the Credit Agreement) greater than $379,190.
The events of default unrelated to financial covenants were the Loan Parties’ failure to: (a) deliver certain certificates, financial information and projections, lease, landlord, and control agreements, and evidence of a UCC-3 filing; (b) close or consolidate certain bank accounts; (c) provide ten (10) business days’ notice prior to the Company filing certain filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the Nevada Secretary of State; and (d) engage an industry consultant acceptable to the Agent to consult with the Loan Parties on integration strategy, future acquisitions, operating performance, and various business issues.
Pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement, Post Road agreed to forbear through the Forbearance Period (as defined below) from (i) exercising its rights and remedies with regard to the existing events of default and (ii) requiring compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 11.12 of the Credit Agreement (related to leverage, EBITDA, liquidity, capital expenditures, fixed charge coverage ratio, and churn). The “Forbearance Period” is from June 13, 2022 through the earlier of (a) August 8, 2022, (b) the date on which any other event of default not enumerated in the Forbearance Agreement occurs or is deemed to have occurred, or (c) the date of any failure of any Loan Party to comply with any aspect of the Forbearance Agreement. The forbearance does not constitute a waiver of the defaults enumerated nor does it impair the ability of Post Road to exercise its rights and remedies after the expiration of the Forbearance Period.
In addition to the forbearance, the Forbearance Agreement amends the Credit Agreement to clarify Section 10.15 with regard to the Company’s affirmative covenant to comply with its SEC reporting obligations. It also amends the Credit Agreement to clarify the provisions of the Section 10 (affirmative covenants) whose violation constitute an event of default. Finally, the Forbearance Agreement amends the Joinder to allow T3 Nevada to give the Agent draft copies of its 10-Ks and 10-Qs and 8-Ks for the Agent and its advisors review only five business days (10-Ks) or two business days (10-Qs and 8-Ks) in advance rather than ten business days in advance as originally required by the Joinder.
The Company anticipates implementing remedies by July 31, 2022 to resolve the financial covenants breaches and the breaches regarding delivering a compliance certificate, financial projections, and a landlord agreement along with engaging an industry consultant. The Company and Post Road have agreed to work in good faith to adjust the financial covenants set forth in Section 11.12 of the Credit Agreement to include the financial impact of the acquisitions of Skynet’s assets and. and the acquisition of Next Level Internet, Inc. As of the date of this filing, the Company cannot predict the final outcome of the negotiations with Post Road.
The other non-financial events of default were covenants that were complied with, however, the compliance was not timely pursuant to the provisions of the Credit Agreement and Joinder. These events of default have not been waived by Post Road.
The foregoing summary of the Forbearance Agreement contains only a brief description of the material terms of the Forbearance Agreement and such description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Forbearance Agreement, filed herewith as Exhibit 10.3 and incorporated by reference herein.
