Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements

March 31, 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” business. After the acquisition of AW Solutions, 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 Corp. (“ADEX”). The Company closed and completed the acquisition on February 27, 2018. After the acquisition of ADEX, 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 closed a Stock Purchase Agreement 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”).

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 AW Solutions and ADEX business has also incurred losses and experienced negative cash flows from operations during its 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 March 31, 2019, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $25,502,692, and a working capital deficit of $11,242,041. 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. 

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.

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, AW Solutions, Inc. (from the date of acquisition, April 25, 2017), Tropical Communications, Inc. (from the date of acquisition, April 25, 2017), AW Solutions Puerto Rico LLC. (from the date of acquisition, April 25, 2017), ADEX Corp., ADEX Puerto Rico, LLC and ADEXCOMM (from the date of acquisition, February 27, 2018), TNS, Inc. (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.

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. 

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

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 March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was $514,032 and $502,868, respectively.

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 was generated through the acquisition of AW Solutions, 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 31^st 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 three months ended March 31, 2019.

At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, definite-lived intangible assets primarily consist of non-compete agreements, 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.

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 three months ended March 31, 2019.

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.

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 $111,200 for a total obligation due of $267,911. This tax assessment is included in accrued expenses at March 31, 2019.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Adoption of New Accounting Guidance on Revenue Recognition

On May 28, 2014, FASB issues Topic 606. As of January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Topic 606 using the modified retrospective approach applied to any contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under the new guidance, while prior periods continue to be reported in accordance with previous accounting guidance. The Company determined that no cumulative effect adjustment to accumulated deficit was necessary upon adoption as there were no significant revenue recognition differences identified between the new and previous accounting guidance.

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 geographic location and operating segment (See Note 13).

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 March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, unbilled receivables totaled $2,227,195 and $1,861,895, respectively.

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

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 are expensed as incurred.

The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, 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 applies ASC 505-50, “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees” with respect to options and warrants issued to non-employees which requires the use of option valuation models to measure the fair value of the options and warrants at the measurement date.

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.

The Company computes earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share” which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings (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 March 31, 2019, the Company had 29,135,606 (March 31, 2018 – 6,177,776) common stock equivalents outstanding.

ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income,” establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. As at December 31, 2018 and 2017 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.

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.

On January 1, 2018, we adopted the new accounting standard ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and all of the related amendments (“new revenue standard”) as discussed in Revenue Recognition accounting policy description.

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

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 three months ended March 31, 2019, four customers accounted for 30%, 18%, 10% and 10%, respectively, of consolidated revenues for the period. In addition, amounts due from these customers represented 30%, 20%, 7% and 5%, respectively, of trade accounts receivable as of March 31, 2019. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, two customers accounted for 22% and 18%, respectively, of consolidated revenues for the period.

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 97% of consolidated revenues for the three month period ended March 31, 2019 (89% - 2018). Revenues generated from customers in Puerto Rico accounted for approximately 3% of consolidated revenues for the three month period ended March 31, 2019 (11% - 2018).

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 three months ended March 31, 2019 and 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 December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, 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. See Note 9 for additional information.

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. As of March 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the Company had a $2,784,674 and $3,166,886 derivative liability, respectively.

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.

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:

Upon the issuance of the convertible note payable described in Note 8, the Company concluded that it only has sufficient shares to satisfy the conversion of some but not all of the outstanding convertible notes, warrants and options. The Company elected to reclassify contracts from equity with the earliest inception date first. As a result, none of the Company’s previously outstanding convertible instruments qualified for derivative reclassification, however, any convertible securities issued after the election qualified for derivative classification. The Company reassesses the classification of the instruments at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification.

The table below sets forth a summary of changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities.

The Company uses Level 3 inputs for its valuation methodology for the embedded conversion option liabilities as their fair values were determined by using Monte-Carlo model or a Binomial Model based on various assumptions. 

Significant changes in any of these inputs in isolation would result in a significant change in the fair value measurement. As required, these are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following table shows the assumptions used in the calculations:

On November 15, 2017, the Company revised its authorized share capital to increase the number of authorized common shares from 275,000,000 common shares with a par value of $0.00001, to 750,000,000 common shares with a par value of $0.00001.

If upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the assets to be distributed among the Series B Preferred Holders and all other shares of capital stock of the Corporation having the same liquidation preference as the Series B Preferred shall be insufficient to permit payment to said holders of such amounts, then all of the assets of the Corporation then remaining shall be distributed ratably among the Series B Preferred Holders and such other capital stock of the Corporation having the same liquidation preference as the Series B Preferred, if any.

The following table summarizes the continuity of share purchase warrants:

As at March 31, 2019, the following share purchase warrants were outstanding:

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, which introduced a lessee model that requires the majority of leases to be recognized on the balance sheet. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the ASU using the modified retrospective transition approach and elected the transition option to recognize the adjustment in the period of adoption rather than in the earliest period presented. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed us to carry forward the historical lease classification. Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of additional net lease assets and lease liabilities of approximately $269,341 and $269,341 respectively, as of January 1, 2019. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, non-cash right of use assets recorded in exchange for non-cash operating lease liabilities was $269,341. The Company leases certain office space and equipment. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The depreciable lives of operating lease assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term. The Company’s leases generally do not provide an implicit rate, and therefore the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate when measuring operating lease liabilities. The Company used incremental borrowing rates as of January 1, 2019 for operating leases that commenced prior to that date.

The following table sets forth the operating lease right of use (“ROU”) assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2019:

Expense related to leases is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term, including rent holidays. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recognized operating lease expense of $48,175. Operating lease costs are included within selling, administrative and other expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, short-term lease costs were $78,035.

Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities were $47,309 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, and this amount is included in operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company reduced its operating lease liabilities by $36,150 for cash paid.

The operating lease liabilities as of March 31, 2019 reflect a weighted average discount rate of 48%. Lease payments over the next five years and thereafter are as follows:

Factors used to identify the Company’s reportable segments include the organizational structure of the Company and the financial information available for evaluation by the chief operating decision-maker in making decisions about how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s operating segments have been broken out based on similar economic and other qualitative criteria. The Company operates the SGS reporting segment in one geographical area (the United States), the AW Solutions operating segment in two geographical areas (the United States and Puerto Rico), and the ADEX operating segment in two geographical areas (the United States and Puerto Rico).

Our Operating Units

Our company is comprised of the following:

Results of Operations for the Three Month Periods Ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018

Revenues

Our operating results for the three month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 are summarized as follows:

Revenue generated during the three months ended March 31, 2019, was $11,335,752 compared to $4,327,764 for the period ended March 31, 2018. During the period ended March 31, 2019, a majority of our revenues and a significant portion of our expenses were generated by our acquired telecommunications division (AW Solutions, Inc.; AW Solutions Puerto Rico, LLC; Tropical Communications, Inc. on April 25, 2017 and ADEX Corp, ADEX PUERTO RICO LLC, ADEX TOWERS, INC., ADEX TELECOM, INC. on February 28, 2018. Our telecommunications division generated $9,360,833 of revenue and our TNS division, which was acquired in January 4, 2019, accounted for $1,974,899 of revenue. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, all of our revenue was generated by our telecommunications division.

Expenses

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, our operating expenses were $11,321,033 compared to operating expenses of $5,071,255 for the three month period ended March 31, 2018. The increase on operating expense is a result of the acquisition of ADEX on February 28, 2018, which consisted of ADEX Corp, ADEX PUERTO RICO LLC, ADEX TOWERS, INC and ADEX TELECOM, INC and the acquisition of TNS, Inc, on January 4, 2019. These expenses include general and administrative costs, all of our corporate costs, as well as costs from our subsidiaries management personnel and administrative overhead. These costs primarily consist of employee compensation and related expenses, including legal, consulting and professional fees, information technology, provisions for recoveries of bad debt and other costs not directly related to performance of our services under customer contracts. We expect these expenses to continue to generally increase as we expand our operations, but expect that such expenses as a percentage of revenue will decrease if we succeed in increasing revenues.

General and administrative costs were $1,044,708 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $661,298 for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Salaries and wages were $1,358,208 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $577,604 for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Depreciation and amortization costs were $93,952 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $47,833 for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Cost of revenues increased from$3,784,520 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 to $8,824,165 for the same period in 2019.

Other Income (Expense)

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we had other expenses of $(1,337,688) compared to other income of $822,987 for the same period in 2018. The decrease was primarily due to a gain on settlement of debt of $561,963, a gain on extinguishment of preferred stock liability of $287,815 a gain on the change in fair value of derivatives of $806,621, amortization of debt discounts of $654,087 and interest expense of $179,325 during the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to a gain on settlement of debt of $164,457, a loss on the change in fair value of derivatives of $369,391, amortization of debt discounts of $661,352 and interest expense of $471,412 during the three month period ended March 31, 2019. The increase in interest expense was a result of the higher principal debt balances outstanding in the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Net Income (Loss)

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we incurred a net loss of $(1,332,587) compared to a net income of $134,269 for the same period in 2018.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2019, our total current assets were $11,215,761 and our total current liabilities were $22,457,802, resulting in a working capital deficit of $11,242,041 compared to a working capital deficit of $8,464,969 as of December 31, 2018.

We suffered recurring losses from operations. The continuation of our company is dependent upon our company attaining and maintaining profitable operations and raising additional capital as needed. In this regard, we have historically raised additional capital through equity offerings and loan transactions.

Cash Flows

The increase in cash that we experienced in the period ended March 31, 2019, compared to the increase during the period ended March 31, 2018, is primarily due to the acquisition of ADEX and its subsidiaries along with the acquisition of TNS and increased funding requirements for ongoing operating activities. During the period ended March 31, 2019, the repayment of loans payable of $6,147,609 and convertible notes payable of $331,552 was made, and proceeds were received from notes and convertible notes payable of $8,367,190, which created the cash balance as noted above. We expect that our cash position will increase, due to operating profits in the telecommunication division and TNS division. Over the coming months and year, subject to raising additional funds, we plan to primarily concentrate on our existing business.

In order to improve our liquidity, we intend to pursue additional equity financing from private placement sales of our equity securities or shareholders loans. There is no assurance that we will be successful in completing any further private placement financing. If we are unable to achieve the necessary additional financing, then we plan to reduce the amounts we spend on our business activities and administrative expenses in order to be within the amount of capital resources that are available to us.

As of March 31, we had cash of $996,790, compared to $285,339 as of March 31, 2018. Our cash balance at the beginning of this year was $620,593.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Inflation

The effect of inflation on our revenue and operating results has not been significant.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

As a “smaller reporting company”, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Based on management’s evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer concluded that, as a result of the material weaknesses described below, as of December 31, 2018, our disclosure controls and procedures are not designed at a reasonable assurance level and are not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The material weaknesses, which relate to internal control over financial reporting, that were identified are:

We are committed to improving our financial organization. In addition, we will look to increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function to resolve non-routine or complex accounting matters. In addition, as funds are available, we will take the following action to enhance our internal controls: Hiring additional knowledgeable personnel with technical accounting expertise to further support our current accounting personnel, which management estimates will cost approximately $300,000 per annum. As our operations are relatively small we expect that both our technical and accounting expertise will be improved, however our overall financial requirements will only increase. We continue to have net cash losses each quarter, we do not anticipate being able to hire additional internal personnel until such time as our operations are profitable on a cash basis or until our operations are large enough to justify the hiring of additional accounting personnel. We currently engage an outside accounting firm to assist us in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements this past year and will plan to evaluate our internal capabilities as we integrate the business segments to address the sufficient number of internal accounting personnel to achieve compliance. As necessary, we will engage consultants in the future in order to ensure proper accounting for our consolidated financial statements.

Due to the fact that our internal accounting staff consists solely of a Chief Executive Officer, who functions as our Principal Accounting Officer, additional personnel will also ensure the proper segregation of duties and provide more checks and balances within the department. Additional personnel will also provide the cross training needed to support us if personnel turn over issues within the department occur. We believe this will greatly decrease any control and procedure issues we may encounter in the future.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.
