Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements

June 30, 2019

(Expressed in U.S. dollars)

Spectrum Global Solutions, Inc., (the “Company”) (f/k/a Mantra Venture Group Ltd.) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on January 22, 2007 to acquire and commercially exploit various new energy related technologies through licenses and purchases. On December 8, 2008, the Company continued its corporate jurisdiction out of the State of Nevada and into the province of British Columbia, Canada.

On April 25, 2017, the Company entered into and closed on an Asset Purchase Agreement with InterCloud Systems, Inc. (“InterCloud”). Pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company purchased 80.1% of the assets associated with InterCloud’s AW Solutions, Inc., AW Solutions Puerto Rico, LLC, and Tropical Communications, Inc. (collectively “AWS” or the “AWS Entities”) subsidiaries. After the acquisition of the AWS Entities, the Company provides professional, multi-service line, telecommunications infrastructure and outsource services to the wireless and wireline industry.

On November 15, 2017, the Company changed its name to “Spectrum Global Solutions, Inc.”

On February 14, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with InterCloud providing for the sale, transfer, conveyance and delivery to the Company of the remaining 19.9% of the assets associated with InterCloud’s AWS business not already purchased by the Company.

On February 6, 2018, the Company entered into and closed on a Stock Purchase Agreement with InterCloud Systems, Inc. (“InterCloud”). Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding capital stock and membership interests of ADEX Corporation, ADEX Puerto Rico LLC, ADEX Towers, Inc. and ADEX Telecom, Inc. (collectively “ADEX” or the “ADEX Entities”). The Company completed the acquisition on February 27, 2018. After the acquisition of the ADEX Entities, the Company provides professional, multi-service line, telecommunications infrastructure, outsource services and staffing solutions to the wireless and wireline industry.

On May 18, 2018, the Company transferred all of its ownership interests in and to its subsidiaries Carbon Commodity Corporation, Mantra China Limited, Mantra Media Corp., Mantra NextGen Power Inc., Mantra Wind Inc., Climate ESCO Ltd. and Mantra Energy Alternatives Ltd. to an entity controlled by the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, Larry Kristof. The new owner of the aforementioned entities assumed all liabilities and obligations with respect to such entities.

On January 4, 2019, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with InterCloud. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, InterCloud agreed to sell, and the Company agreed to purchase, all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of TNS, Inc. (“TNS”), an Illinois corporation.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The recently acquired AWS and ADEX businesses have also incurred losses and experienced negative cash flows from operations during their most recent fiscal years. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of management to raise additional equity capital through private and public offerings of its common stock, and the attainment of profitable operations. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $25,601,273, and a working capital deficit of $8,109,006. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Management requires additional funds over the next twelve months to fully implement its business plan. Management is currently seeking additional financing through the sale of equity and from borrowings from private lenders to cover its operating expenditures. There can be no certainty that these sources will provide the additional funds required for the next twelve months.

Condensed Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments of a recurring nature considered necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods shown.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The results of operations and cash flows for the periods shown are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Basis of Presentation/Principles of Consolidation

These consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, the AWS Entities, the ADEX Entities (from the date of acquisition, February 27, 2018), and TNS (from the date of acquisition, January 4, 2019). All the subsidiaries are wholly-owned.

During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company disposed of the following subsidiaries; Carbon Commodity Corporation, Climate ESCO Ltd., Mantra Energy Alternatives Ltd., Mantra China Inc., Mantra China Limited, Mantra Media Corp., Mantra NextGen Power Inc., and Mantra Wind Inc.

All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to allowance for doubtful accounts, the estimated useful lives and recoverability of long-lived assets, equity component of convertible debt, stock-based compensation, and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable

Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company records unbilled receivables for services performed but not billed. Management reviews a customer’s credit history before extending credit. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses. Estimates of uncollectible amounts are reviewed each period, and changes are recorded in the period in which they become known. Management analyzes the collectability of accounts receivable each period. This review considers the aging of account balances, historical bad debt experience, and changes in customer creditworthiness, current economic trends, customer payment activity and other relevant factors. Should any of these factors change, the estimate made by management may also change. The allowance for doubtful accounts at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was $504,785 and $502,868, respectively.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. The Company depreciates the cost of property and equipment over their estimated useful lives at the following annual rates:

Goodwill

Goodwill was generated through the acquisition of AWS, ADEX and TNS as the total consideration paid exceeded the fair value of the net assets acquired.

The Company tests its goodwill for impairment at least annually on December 31st and whenever events or circumstances change that indicate impairment may have occurred. A significant amount of judgment is involved in determining if an indicator of impairment has occurred. Such indicators may include, among others: a significant decline in the Company’s expected future cash flows; a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate; unanticipated competition; and slower growth rates. Any adverse change in these factors could have a significant impact on the recoverability of goodwill and the Company’s consolidated financial results.

The Company tests goodwill by estimating fair value using a Discounted Cash Flow (“DCF”) model. The key assumptions used in the DCF model to determine the highest and best use of estimated future cash flows include revenue growth rates and profit margins based on internal forecasts, terminal value and an estimate of a market participant’s weighted-average cost of capital used to discount future cash flows to their present value. There were no impairment charges during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Intangible Assets

At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, definite-lived intangible assets primarily consist of tradenames and customer relationships which are being amortized over their estimated useful lives ranging from 3-20 years.

The Company periodically evaluates the reasonableness of the useful lives of these assets. Once these assets are fully amortized, they are removed from the accounts. These assets are reviewed for impairment or obsolescence when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If impaired, intangible assets are written down to fair value based on discounted cash flows or other valuation techniques. The Company has no intangibles with indefinite lives.

For long-lived assets, impairment losses are only recorded if the asset’s carrying amount is not recoverable through its undiscounted, probability-weighted future cash flows. The Company measures the impairment loss based on the difference between the carrying amount and the estimated fair value. When an impairment exists, the related assets are written down to fair value.

Long-lived Assets

In accordance with ASC 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment”, the Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value, which is generally determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value. There were no impairment charges recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Foreign Currency Translation

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the currency of measurement at the exchange rates in effect on the transaction date. Monetary balance sheet items expressed in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. The resulting exchange gains and losses are recognized in income.

The Company’s integrated foreign subsidiaries are financially or operationally dependent on the Company. The Company uses the temporal method to translate the accounts of its integrated operations into U.S. dollars. Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical rates. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates for the period, except for amortization, which is translated on the same basis as the related asset. The resulting exchange gains or losses are recognized in income.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. The asset and liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.

The Company conducts business, and files federal and state income, franchise or net worth, tax returns in Canada, the United States, in various states within the United States and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. The Company determines it’s filing obligations in a jurisdiction in accordance with existing statutory and case law. The Company may be subject to a reassessment of federal and provincial income taxes by Canadian tax authorities for a period of three years from the date of the original notice of assessment in respect of any particular taxation year. For Canadian and U.S. income tax returns, the open taxation years range from 2010 to 2018. In certain circumstances, the U.S. federal statute of limitations can reach beyond the standard three year period. U.S. state statutes of limitations for income tax assessment vary from state to state. Tax authorities of Canada and U.S. have not audited any of the Company’s, or its subsidiaries’, income tax returns for the open taxation years noted above.

Significant management judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes, and in particular, any valuation allowance recorded against the Company’s deferred tax assets. Deferred tax assets are regularly reviewed for recoverability. The Company currently has significant deferred tax assets resulting from net operating loss carryforwards and deductible temporary differences, which should reduce taxable income in future periods. The realization of these assets is dependent on generating future taxable income.

The Company follows the guidance set forth within ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC Topic 740”) which prescribes a two-step process for the financial statement recognition and measurement of income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in an income tax return. The first step evaluates an income tax position in order to determine whether it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position. The second step measures the benefit to be recognized in the financial statements for those income tax positions that meet the more likely than not recognition threshold. ASC Topic 740 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, recognition and classification of interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. Penalties and interest, if incurred, would be recorded as a component of current income tax expense.

The Company received a tax notice from the Puerto Rican government requesting payment of taxes related to 2014 in the amount of $156,711 plus penalties and interest of $119,401 for a total obligation due of $276,112. This tax assessment is included in accrued expenses at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Revenue Recognition

Adoption of New Accounting Guidance on Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue based on the five criteria for revenue recognition established under Topic 606: 1) identify the contract, 2) identify separate performance obligations, 3) determine the transaction price, 4) allocate the transaction price among the performance obligations, and 5) recognize revenue as the performance obligations are satisfied.

Contract Types

The Company’s contracts fall under three main types: 1) unit-price, 2) fixed-price, and 3) time-and-materials. Unit-price contracts relate to services being performed and paid on a unit basis, such as per mile of construction completed. Fixed-price contracts are based on purchase order line items that are billed on individual invoices as the project progresses and milestones are reached. Time-and-materials contracts include employees working permanently at customer locations and materials costs incurred by those employees.

A significant portion of the Company’s revenues come from customers with whom the Company has a master service agreement (“MSA”). These MSA’s generally contain customer specific service requirements.

Performance Obligations

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer, and is the unit of account in the new revenue standard. The contract transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. For the Company’s different revenue service types the performance obligation is satisfied at different times. For professional services revenue, the performance obligation is met when the work is performed. In certain cases this may be each day, or each week depending on the customer. For construction services, the performance obligation is met when the work is completed and the customer has approved the work. Contract assets include unbilled amounts for services performed but not yet billed. These amounts are included in accounts receivable on the consolidated balance sheets. Contract liabilities include unbilled costs and are included in accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets.

Revenue Service Types

The following is a description of the Company’s revenue service types, which include professional services and construction:

Disaggregation of Revenues

The Company disaggregates its revenue from contracts with customers by service type, contract type, contract duration, and timing of transfer of goods or services. See the below tables:

The Company also disaggregates its revenue by operating segment and geographic location (refer to Note 15, Segment Disclosures, for additional information).

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable include amounts from work completed in which the Company has billed. The amounts due are stated at their net estimated realizable value. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to provide for the estimated amount of receivables that will not be collected. The allowance is based upon an assessment of customer creditworthiness, historical payment experience, the age of outstanding receivables and collateral to the extent applicable.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

Contract assets include unbilled amounts for services performed but not yet billed. These amounts are included in contract assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company records unbilled receivables for services performed but not billed. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, unbilled receivables totaled $1,158,985 and $1,861,895, respectively.

Contract liabilities include unbilled costs and are included in accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues includes all direct costs of providing services under our contracts, including costs for direct labor provided by employees, services by independent subcontractors, operation of capital equipment (excluding depreciation and amortization), direct materials, insurance claims and other direct costs.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”), using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation awards issued to non-employees for services, as prescribed by ASC 718-10, at either the fair value of the services rendered or the instruments issued in exchange for such services, whichever is more readily determinable, using the measurement date guidelines enumerated in ASU 2018-07.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair value of stock-based awards. This model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables. These subjective variables include, but are not limited to, the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense in the consolidated statement of operations over the requisite service period.

Loss per Share

The Company computes loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share” which requires presentation of both basic and diluted loss per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing the loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. As of June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, the Company had 41,147,677 and 2,373,127,808 common stock equivalents outstanding.

Comprehensive Loss

ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income,” establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. As of June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company has no items that represent a comprehensive loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the consolidated financial statements.

Leases

The Company adopted FASB Accounting Standards Codification, Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”) electing the practical expedient that allows the Company not to restate its comparative periods prior to the adoption of the standard on January 1, 2019. As such, the disclosures required under ASC 842 are not presented for periods before the date of adoption. For the comparative periods prior to adoption, the Company presented the disclosures which were required under ASC 840.

The new leasing standard requires recognition of leases on the consolidated balance sheets as right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use underlying assets for the lease terms and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the leases. Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value and future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

The Company recognized lease liabilities, with corresponding ROU assets, based on the present value of unpaid lease payments for existing operating leases longer than twelve months as of January 1, 2019. The ROU assets were adjusted per ASC 842 transition guidance for existing lease-related balances of accrued and prepaid rent, unamortized lease incentives provided by lessors, and restructuring liabilities, Operating lease cost is recognized as a single lease cost on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. Variable lease payments for common area maintenance, property taxes and other operating expenses are recognized as expense in the period when the changes in facts and circumstances on which the variable lease payments are based occur.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”), which, among other things, requires an entity to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for substantially all leases, including operating leases. Expanded disclosures with additional qualitative and quantitative information are also required. ASU 2016-02 and its amendments are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and early adoption was permitted.

The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 and its amendments and applied the transition provisions as of January 1, 2019, which included recognizing a cumulative-effect adjustment through opening retained earnings as of that date. Prior year amounts were not recast under this transition approach and, therefore, prior year amounts are excluded from the leased properties footnote. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which allowed the Company to carryforward its historical assessments of: (1) whether contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classification and (3) initial direct costs. In addition, the Company did not elect the hindsight practical expedient to determine the reasonably certain lease term for existing leases. The Company elected a policy of not recording leases on its condensed consolidated balance sheets when the leases have a term of 12 months or less and the Company is not reasonably certain to elect an option to purchase the leased asset. The Company recognizes payments on these leases within selling, administrative and other expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The standard did not materially impact consolidated net income or liquidity.

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or result of operations

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation – “Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-based Payment Accounting”, which addresses aspects of the accounting for nonemployee share-based payment transactions. This pronouncement is effective for annual reporting periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company early adopted ASU 2018-07 on January 1, 2019. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts receivables. The Company maintains its cash balances with high-credit-quality financial institutions. Deposits held with banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. These deposits may be withdrawn upon demand and therefore bear minimal risk.

The Company provides credit to customers on an uncollateralized basis after evaluating client creditworthiness. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, four customers accounted for 22%, 21%, 14% and 11%, respectively, of consolidated revenues for the period. In addition, amounts due from these customers represented 38%, 29%, 3% and 3%, respectively, of trade accounts receivable as of June 30, 2019. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, four customers accounted for 22%, 21%, 17% and 13%, respectively, of consolidated revenues for the period. In addition, amounts due from these customers represented 22%, 16%, 13% and 12%, respectively, of trade accounts receivable as of June 30, 2018.

The Company’s customers are primarily located within the domestic United States of America and Puerto Rico. Revenues generated within the domestic United States of America accounted for approximately 96% and 93% of consolidated revenues for the six month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Revenues generated from customers in Puerto Rico accounted for approximately 4% and 7% of consolidated revenues for the six month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company measures and discloses the estimated fair value of financial assets and liabilities using the fair value hierarchy prescribed by US generally accepted accounting principles. The fair value hierarchy has three levels, which are based on reliable available inputs of observable data. The hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. The three-level hierarchy is defined as follows:

Level 1 – quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;

Level 2 – quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and

Level 3 – fair value measurements derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

Financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, restricted cash, accounts payable, loans payable and convertible debentures. Derivative liabilities are determined based on “Level 3” inputs, which are significant and unobservable and have the lowest priority. There were no transfers into or out of “Level 3” during the six months ended June 30, 2019 or the year ended December 31, 2018. The recorded values of all other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective relatively short maturity dates or durations.

Our financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, consisted of the following:

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial statement. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates. Refer to Note 9, Derivative Liabilities, for additional information.

Derivative Liabilities

The Company accounts for derivative instruments in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” and all derivative instruments are reflected as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the balance sheet. The Company uses estimates of fair value to value its derivative instruments. Fair value is defined as the price to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing and able market participants. In general, the Company’s policy in estimating fair values is to first look at observable market prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets, where available. When these are not available, other inputs are used to model fair value such as prices of similar instruments, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, default rates and credit spreads, relying first on observable data from active markets. Depending on the availability of observable inputs and prices, different valuation models could produce materially different fair value estimates. The values presented may not represent future fair values and may not be realizable. The Company categorizes its fair value estimates in accordance with ASC 820 based on the hierarchical framework associated with the three levels of price transparency utilized in measuring financial instruments at fair value as discussed above.

Sequencing Policy

Under ASC 815-40-35, the Company has adopted a sequencing policy whereby, in the event that reclassification of contracts from equity to assets or liabilities is necessary pursuant to ASC 815 due to the Company’s inability to demonstrate it has sufficient authorized shares as a result of certain securities with a potentially indeterminable number of shares, shares will be allocated on the basis of the earliest issuance date of potentially dilutive instruments, with the earliest grants receiving the first allocation of shares. Pursuant to ASC 815, issuance of securities to the Company’s employees or directors are not subject to the sequencing policy.

Reclassifications

Certain balances in previously issued consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to be consistent with the current period presentation. The reclassification had no impact on total financial position, net income, or stockholders’ equity.

On January 4, 2019, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with InterCloud Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“InterCloud”). Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, InterCloud agreed to sell, and the Company agreed to purchase, all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of TNS, Inc., an Illinois corporation (“TNS”). The Company closed and completed the acquisition on January 4, 2019.

The purchase price paid by the Company for the includes $980,000 in cash, paid at closing, and the issuance to InterCloud of a convertible promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $620,000 (the “Note”).

The Company has performed a valuation analysis of the fair market value of TNS’ assets and liabilities. The provisional fair value of the purchase consideration issued to the sellers of TNS was allocated to the net tangible assets acquired. We accounted for the acquisition of TNS as the purchase of a business under GAAP under the acquisition method of accounting, the assets and liabilities acquired were recorded as of the acquisition date, at their respective fair values and consolidated with those of our company. The excess of the aggregate fair value of the net tangible assets has been allocated to an intangible asset, value of customer accounts and the remainder to goodwill. The purchase price allocation was based, in part, on management’s knowledge of TNS’ business and is preliminary. Once we complete our analysis to finalize the purchase price allocation, which includes finalizing the valuation report from a third-party appraiser and a review of potential intangible assets, it is reasonably possible that, there could be significant changes to the preliminary values below.

The following table summarizes the allocation of the preliminary purchase price as of the acquisition date:
