NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Digerati Technologies, Inc. (“we;” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, these interim financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the consolidated financial statements, which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended July 31, 2021 contained in the Company’s Form 10-K filed on October 26, 2021 have been omitted.
Treasury Shares
As a result of entering into various convertible debt instruments which contained a variable conversion feature with no floor, warrants with fixed exercise price, and convertible notes with fixed conversion price or with a conversion price floor, we reserved 25,000,000 treasury shares for consideration for future conversions and exercise of warrants, for convertible notes with fixed conversion price, notes with variable conversion feature with a floor and warrants with a conversion price floor. The Company will evaluate the reserved treasury shares on a quarterly basis, and if necessary, reserve additional treasury shares. As of January 31, 2022, we believe that the treasury share reserved are sufficient for any future conversions of these instruments. As a result, these debt instruments and warrants are excluded from derivative consideration.
Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share.
The basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders adjusted on an “as if converted” basis, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive securities. For the quarter ended January 31, 2022, and the year ended July 31, 2021, potential dilutive securities including options and warrants were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share. Potential dilutive securities, which are not included in dilutive weighted average shares are as follows:
1/31/2022 | 7/31/2021 | |||||||
Options to purchase common stock | 9,230,000 | 9,230,000 | ||||||
Warrants to purchase common stock | 109,291,179 | 109,506,179 | ||||||

The Company applies a five-step approach in determining the amount and timing of revenue to be recognized: (1) identifying the contract with a customer, (2) identifying the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (5) recognizing revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied. Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is recognized at the time control of the products transfers to the customer.
Service Revenue
Service revenue from subscriptions to the Company’s cloud-based technology platform is recognized over time on a ratable basis over the contractual subscription term beginning on the date that the platform is made available to the customer. Payments received in advance of subscription services being rendered are recorded as a deferred revenue. Usage fees, either bundled or not bundled, are recognized when the Company has a right to invoice. Professional services for configuration, system integration, optimization, customer training and/or education are primarily billed on a fixed-fee basis and are performed by the Company directly. Alternatively, customers may choose to perform these services themselves or engage their own third-party service providers. Professional services revenue is recognized over time, generally as services are activated for the customer.
Product Revenue
The Company recognizes product revenue for telephony equipment at a point in time, when transfer of control has occurred, which is generally upon delivery. Sales returns are recorded as a reduction to revenue estimated based on historical experience.
Disaggregation of Cloud software and service revenue
Summary of disaggregated revenue is as follows (in thousands):
For the Three Months ended January 31, | For the Six Months ended January 31, | |||||||||||||||
2022 | 2021 | 2022 | 2021 | |||||||||||||
Cloud software and service revenue | $ | 3,966 | $ | 3,226 | $ | 7,669 | $ | 4,774 | ||||||||

Total operating revenues | $ | 4,019 | $ | 3,326 | $ | 7,796 | $ | 4,878 |
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 January 31, 2022, and July 31, 2021, were $8,246 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 January 31, 2022, and July 31, 2021, were $2,994 and $19,984, respectively.
7
Customer deposits
The Company in some instances requires customers to make deposits for equipment, installation charges and training. As equipment is installed and training takes places the deposits are then applied to revenue. As of January 31, 2022, and July 31, 2021, Digerati’s customer deposits balance was $0 and $0, 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 six
months ended January 31, 2022, and January 31, 2021, were $654,070 and $260,050, respectively.
Direct Costs - Cloud software and service
We incur bandwidth and colocation charges in connection with our UCaaS or cloud communication services. The bandwidth charges are incurred as part of the connectivity between our customers to allow them access to our various services. We also incur costs from underlying providers for fiber, Internet broadband, and telecommunication circuits in connection with our data and connectivity solutions.
Derivative financial instruments.
Digerati does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. However, Digerati analyzes its convertible instruments and free-standing instruments such as warrants for derivative liability accounting.
For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date. Any changes in fair value 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. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument is probable within the next 12 months from the balance sheet date.
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 January 31, 2022 and July 31, 2021 are approximately $15,824,000 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 and other comprehensive income (loss).

On May 1, 2018, T3 Communications, Inc. (“T3”), a Nevada Corporation, entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (’SPA”), whereby in an exchange for $250,000, T3 agreed to sell to the buyers 199,900 shares of common stock equivalent to 19.99% of the issued and outstanding common share of T3 Communications, Inc. 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. 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 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 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 six months ending January 31, 2022, and 2021, the Company accounted for a noncontrolling interest of $760,000 and $65,000, 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 Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA and the SEC did not, or are not, believed by management to have a material effect on the Company’s present or future financial statements.
In August 2020, the FASB issued “ASU 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 47020) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)” which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments. The guidance removes certain accounting models which separate the embedded conversion features from the host contract for convertible instruments. Either a modified retrospective method of transition or a fully retrospective method of transition is permissible for the adoption of this standard. Update No. 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted no earlier than the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the potential on its financial statements.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
Financial Condition
The Company’s consolidated financial statements for the six months ending January 31, 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 $113,998,000 a working capital deficit of approximately $22,102,000 and total liabilities of $48,607,000, which includes $15,824,000 in derivative liabilities, which raises substantial doubt about Digerati’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Management Plans to Continue as a Going Concern
Management believes that available resources as of January 31, 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.
10
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, 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 Communications, Inc (“T3 Nevada”), a majority owned subsidiary entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Post Road Administrative LLC and its affiliate Post Road Special Opportunity Fund II LLP (collectively, “Post Road”). Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, Post Road provided T3 Nevada with a secured loan of up to $20,000,000, with initial loans of $10,500,000 pursuant to the issuance of a Term Loan A Note and $3,500,000 pursuant to the issuance of a Term Loan B Note, each funded on November 17, 2020.
The Company used $14,000,000 of the credit facility for the payment of approximately $9.452 million for the purchase price for the merger of Nexogy, $1.190 million for the purchase price and transaction fees of certain assets of ActiveServe, Inc., $1.487 million for the payment in full of outstanding debts owed and accrued interest to 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, T3 Nevada 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 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.
Subsequently, on February 4, 2022, T3 Nevada and Post Road entered into a Credit Agreement in connection with which T3 Nevada issued a Term Loan C Note, Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, Post Road provided T3 Nevada with a secured loan of $10,000,000. The proceeds $10,000,000 were used to fund the acquisition of Next Level Internet 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 January 31, 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”). The Plan authorizes the grant of up to 7.5 million stock options, restricted common shares, non-restricted common shares and other awards to employees, directors, and certain other persons. The Plan is intended to permit the Company to retain and attract qualified individuals who will contribute to the overall success of the Company. The Company’s Board of Directors determines the terms of any grants under the Plan.

NOTE 5 – WARRANTS
During the six months ended January 31, 2022, the Company did not issue any warrants.
During the six months ended January 31, 2021, the Company issued the following warrants:
On November 17, 2020, the Company issued 107,701,179 Warrants to Post Road Special Opportunity Fund II LP (the “Warrant”) to purchase, initially, twenty-five percent (25%) of the Company’s total shares (the “Warrant”), calculated on a fully-diluted basis as of the date of issuance (the “Warrant Shares”) and subject to a reduction to fifteen percent (15%) as described below.
The number of Warrant Shares is adjustable to allow the holder to maintain, subject to certain share issuances that are exceptions, the right to purchase twenty-five percent (25%) of the Company’s total shares, calculated on a fully-diluted basis. The Warrant has an exercise price of $0.01 per share and the Warrant expires on November 17, 2030. Seventy-five percent (75%) of the Warrant Shares are immediately fully vested and not subject to forfeiture at any time for any reason. The remaining twenty-five percent (25%) of the Warrant Shares are subject to forfeiture based on the Company achieving certain performance targets which, if achieved, would result in twenty percent (20%) warrant coverage. If the minority shareholders of T3 Nevada convert their T3 Nevada shares into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), the Warrant Shares percentage shall also be lowered such that when combined with the achievement of the performance targets, the warrant coverage could be reduced to fifteen percent (15%).
In connection with the issuance of the Warrant, the three executives of the Company, Art Smith, Antonio Estrada, and Craig Clement entered into a Tag-Along Agreement (the “Tag-Along Agreement”) whereby they agreed that the holder of the Warrant or Warrant Share will have the right to participate or “tag-along” in any agreements to sell any shares of their Common Stock that such executives enter into. The Company also agreed, in connection with the issuance of the Warrant and pursuant to a Board Observer Agreement (the “Board Observer Agreement”), to grant Post Road the right to appoint a representative to each of the boards of directors of the Company and each of its subsidiaries, to attend all board meeting in a non-voting observer capacity. In addition, at issuance the Company recognized $6,462,050 in Derivative liability associated with these warrants.

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 six months ended January 31, 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. (both referred to herein as “T3”), 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™.
32
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.

On February 4, 2022, the Company acquired the equity interest in San Diego based Next Level Internet, Inc., 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.

The cost of services increased by $119,000, or 8%, from the three months ended January 31, 2021, to the three months ended January 31, 2022. The increase in cost of services is primarily attributed to the consolidation of various networks as part of the increase in total customers between periods due to the acquisition of Skynet on December 2021 and the acquisitions of Nexogy and ActivePBX during FY2021. Our total number of customers increased from 2,583 for the three months ended January 31, 2021, to 2,960 customers for the three months ended January 31, 2022.

Stock Compensation expense. Stock compensation expense decreased by $10,000, from the three months ended January 31, 2021, to the three months ended January 31, 2022. The decrease between periods is attributed to the recognition during the three months ended January 31, 2021 of stock option expense of $33,000.

Legal and professional fees. Legal and professional fees increased by $920,000, from the three months ended January 31, 2021, to the three months ended January 31, 2022.

Bad debt. Bad debt decreased by $2,000, from the three months ended January 31, 2021, to the three months ended January 31, 2022. The decrease is attributed to the recognition of $4,000 in bad debt for accounts deemed uncollectible during the period ended January 31, 2021.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased by $49,000, from the three months ended January 31, 2021, to the three months ended January 31, 2022.

These increases were slightingly offset by the decrease in stock compensation expense of $10,000, the decrease of $2,000 in bad debt expense and the improvement of $574,000 gross margin.
34
Gain (loss) on derivative instruments. Gain (loss) on derivative instruments increased by $3,265,000 from the three months ended January 31, 2021, to the three months ended January 31, 2022.

Legal and professional fees. Legal and professional fees increased by $1,236,000, from the six months ended January 31, 2021, to the six months ended January 31, 2022.

Bad debt. Bad debt increased by $11,000, from the six months ended January 31, 2021, to the six months ended January 31, 2022. The increase is attributed to the recognition of $15,000 in bad debt for accounts deemed uncollectible during the period ended January 31, 2022.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased by $381,000, from the six months ended January 31, 2021, to the six months ended January 31, 2022.

Operating loss. The Company reported an operating loss of $1,899,000 for the six months ended January 31, 2022, compared to an operating loss of $1,390,000 for the six months ended January 31, 2021. The increase in operating loss between periods is primarily due to the increase in legal fees of $1,236,000, the increase in depreciation of $381,000, the increase of $11,000 in bad debt and the increase in SG&A of $1,268,000. These increases were slightingly offset by the decrease in stock compensation expense of $329,000 and the improvement of $2,058,000 gross margin.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Position: We had a consolidated cash balance of $2,844,000 as of January 31, 2022. Net cash consumed by operating activities during the six months ended January 31, 2022 was approximately $1,003,000, primarily as a result of operating expenses, that included $47,000 in stock compensation and warrant expense, bad debt expense of $15,000, loss on extinguishment of debt of $5,480,000, amortization of debt discount of $1,605,000, gain on derivative liability of $1,009,000, depreciation and amortization expense of $974,000, increase in accrued expense of $631,000, increase in accounts receivable of $110,000, increase of $484,000 in accounts payable and decrease in deferred revenue of $17,000. Additionally, we had an decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $12,000, increase in inventory of $27,000 and the recognition of $40,000 in accrued interest added to principal.
Cash used in investing activities during the six months ended January 31, 2022, was $4,003,000, $65,000 was used for the purchase of VoIP equipment, $4,100,000 was used to acquire the Skynet’s assets and the Company received $162,000 from Nexogy as an adjustment consideration for payables from the acquisition.
Cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended January 31, 2022, was $6,361,000. The Company secured $707,000 from convertible notes, net of issuance costs and discounts and secured $6,000,000 from debt financing, net of issuance costs and discounts. The Company made principal payments of $328,000 on related party notes, and $18,000 in principal payments on equipment financing. Overall, our net operating, investing, and financing activities during the six months ended January 31, 2022, contributed approximately $1,355,000 of our available cash.
Digerati’s consolidated financial statements for the six months ending January 31, 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 $113,998,000 and a working capital deficit of approximately $22,102,000 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 January 31, 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.

Our current cash expenses are expected to be approximately $700,000 per month, including wages, rent, utilities, corporate expenses, and legal professional fees associated with potential acquisitions. As described elsewhere herein, we are not generating sufficient cash from operations to pay for our corporate and ongoing operating expenses, or to pay our current liabilities. As of January 31, 2022, our total liabilities were approximately $48,607,000, which included $15,824,000 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.

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 January 31, 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.

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.
