SPECTRUM GLOBAL SOLUTIONS, INC.
Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
September 30, 2020
1. | Organization and Going Concern |
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 reincorporated in 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.
On November 15, 2017, the Company changed its name to “Spectrum Global Solutions, Inc.” and reincorporated in the state of Nevada.
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.
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.
During September 2019, the Company formed ADEX Canada, which is included in the ADEX Entities.
The Company’s AWS Entities are professional, multi-service line, telecommunications infrastructure companies that provide outsourced services to the wireless and wireline industry. The Company’s ADEX Entities are a leading outsource provider of engineering and installation services, staffing solutions and other services which include consulting to the telecommunications industry, service providers and enterprise customers domestically and internationally. The Company’s former TNS subsidiary is a Chicago-based structured cabling and next-generation DAS design and installation firm that supports voice, data, video, security and multimedia systems within commercial office buildings, multi-building campus environments, high-rise buildings, data centers and other structures.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company sold its TNS subsidiary and made the decision to shut down the operations of AW Solutions, Inc. (refer to Note 3, Disposals of Subsidiaries, for additional detail). As of the date of this report, AW Solutions, Inc. continues to operate at a lesser capacity. Once the operations have fully ceased, the Company plans to abandon the subsidiary.
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 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 September 30, 2020, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $44,950,815, and a working capital deficit of $4,611,115. 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.
7 |
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.
2. | Significant Accounting Policies |
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, 2019. 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, and TNS (from the date of acquisition, January 4, 2019). All of the subsidiaries are wholly-owned.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company sold its TNS subsidiary and made the decision to shut down the operations of AW Solutions, Inc. (refer to Note 3, Disposals of Subsidiaries, for additional detail).
All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic
The extent to which the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) outbreak and measures taken in response thereto impact the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
Global health concerns relating to the COVID-19 outbreak have been weighing on the macroeconomic environment, and the outbreak has significantly increased economic uncertainty. Risks related to consumers and businesses lowering or changing spending, which impact domestic and international spend. The outbreak has resulted in authorities implementing numerous measures to try to contain the virus, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter in place orders, and business shutdowns. These measures have not only negatively impacted consumer spending and business spending habits, they have also adversely impacted and may further impact the Company’s workforce and operations and the operations of its customers, suppliers and business partners. These measures may remain in place for a significant period of time and they are likely to continue to adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.
The spread of COVID-19 has caused the Company to modify its business practices (including employee travel, employee work locations, and cancellation of physical participation in meetings, events and conferences), and the Company may take further actions as may be required by government authorities or that the Company determines are in the best interests of its employees, customers and business partners. There is no certainty that such measures will be sufficient to mitigate the risks posed by the virus or otherwise be satisfactory to government authorities.
The extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak impacts the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including, but not limited to, the duration and spread of the outbreak, its severity, the actions to contain the virus or treat its impact, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. Even after the COVID-19 outbreak has subsided, the Company may continue to experience materially adverse impacts to its business as a result of its global economic impact, including any recession that has occurred or may occur in the future.
There are no comparable recent events which may provide guidance as to the effect of the spread of COVID-19 and a global pandemic, and, as a result, the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 outbreak or a similar health epidemic is highly uncertain and subject to change. The Company does not yet know the full extent of the impacts on its business, its operations or the global economy as a whole. However, the effects could have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, and the Company will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation closely.

Reverse Stock Split
On April 14, 2020, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the state of Nevada to effect a 1-for-300 reverse stock split with respect to the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. The Certificate of Amendment became effective on April 14, 2020 with the state of Nevada, and on April 20, 2020, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA) made the announcement of the reverse stock split.
The reverse stock split was previously approved by the board of directors and the majority of stockholders of the Company. The reverse stock split was deemed effective at the open of business on April 21, 2020. As a result of the reverse stock split, every three hundred (300) shares of outstanding common stock of the Company as of April 14, 2020 were converted into one (1) share of common stock. Fractional shares resulting from the reverse stock split will be rounded up to the next whole number.
All common share, warrant, stock option, and per share information in the consolidated financial statements gives retroactive effect to the 1-for-300 reverse stock split. There was no change to the number of authorized shares of common stock or preferred stock of the Company as a result of the reverse stock split. The par value of the Company’s common stock was unchanged at $0.00001 per share post-split.
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 September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $58,881 and $504,785, 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:
Automotive | 3-5 years straight-line basis |
Computer equipment and software | 3-7 years straight-line basis |
Leasehold improvements | 5 years straight-line basis |
Office equipment and furniture | 5 years straight-line basis |
Research equipment | 5 years straight-line basis |
Goodwill
Goodwill was initially 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.
9 |
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.
In connection with the Company’s decision to shut down the operations of AW Solutions, Inc., the Company tested its goodwill for impairment. The Company completed a recoverability test as there was an indicator of impairment and determined that the value was unrecoverable. As a result, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $1,503,633 to the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. There were no impairment charges during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.
Subsequent to the impairment charges incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, along with the sale of the Company’s TNS subsidiary, all of the remaining goodwill relates to the acquisition of ADEX.
Intangible Assets
At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, definite-lived intangible assets primarily consisted of tradenames and customer relationships which are being amortized over their estimated useful lives ranging from 5-35 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 connection with the Company’s decision to shut down the operations of AW Solutions, Inc., the Company tested its intangible assets for impairment. The Company completed a recoverability test as there was an indicator of impairment and determined that the value was not fully recoverable. As a result, the Company recorded an intangible asset impairment charge of $244,972 on its customer lists and $156,133 on its tradenames to the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. There were no impairment charges during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.
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 three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 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 foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in income.
10 |
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 foreign 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 2019. 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. The amount due as of September 30, 2020 was $156,711 plus penalties and interest of $129,967 for a total obligation due of $286,678. The amount due as of December 31, 2019 was $156,711 plus penalties and interest of $126,700 for a total obligation due of $283,411. This tax assessment was included in accrued expenses at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
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.
11 |
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 costs of services incurred on contracts with open performance obligations. These amounts are included in contract assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Contract liabilities include costs incurred and are included in contract liabilities 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:
● | Professional services are services provided to the clients where the Company delivers distinct contractual deliverables and/or services. Deliverables may include but are not be limited to: engineering drawings, designs, reports and specification. Services may include, but are not be limited to: consulting or professional staffing to support our client’s objectives. Consulting or professional staffing services may be provided remotely or on client premises and under their direction and supervision. |
● | Construction Services are services provided to the client where the Company may self-perform or subcontract services that require the physical construction of infrastructure or installation of equipment and materials. |
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 16, 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 costs and services incurred on contracts with open performance obligations. These amounts are included in contract assets on the consolidated balance sheets. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, contract assets totaled $295,979 and $461,681, respectively.
Contract liabilities include costs incurred and are included in contract liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, contract liabilities totaled $409,421 and $704,544, respectively.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues includes all direct costs of providing services under the Company’s 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 September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, the Company had 5,396,202 and 286,736 common stock equivalents outstanding.

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 August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which amends the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by removing, modifying and adding certain disclosures. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2020. The adoption of this standard did not materially impact the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
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.
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 nine months ended September 30, 2020, two customers accounted for 26% and 15%, respectively, of consolidated revenues for the period. In addition, amounts due from these customers represented 30% and 17%, respectively, of trade accounts receivable as of September 30, 2020. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, four customers accounted for 25%, 18%, 12% and 11%, respectively, of consolidated revenues for the period. In addition, amounts due from these customers represented 38%, 15%, 7% and 3%, respectively, of trade accounts receivable as of September 30, 2019.
The Company’s customers are primarily located within the domestic United States of America, Puerto Rico, and Canada. Revenues generated within the domestic United States of America accounted for approximately 95% and 96% of consolidated revenues for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Revenues generated from customers in Puerto Rico and Canada accounted for approximately 5% and 4% of consolidated revenues for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2020 or the year ended December 31, 2019. 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.
The Company’s financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 consisted of the following:
Total fair value at September 30, 2020 | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1) | Significant other observable inputs (Level 2) | Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) | |||||||||||||
Derivative liability (1) | $ | 1,450,059 | $ | - | $ | - | $ | 1,450,059 |
Total fair value at December 31, 2019 | Quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) | Quoted prices in active markets (Level 2) | Quoted prices in active markets (Level 3) | |||||||||||||
Derivative liability (1) | $ | 992,733 | $ | - | $ | - | $ | 992,733 |
(1) | The Company has estimated the fair value of these derivatives using the Monte-Carlo model and/or a Binomial Model. |
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 10, 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. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had a derivative liability of $1,450,059 and $992,733, respectively.
15 |
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.

WaveTech GmbH Background Information
Prior to the Company’s sale of its interest in WaveTech GmbH (refer to the “Sale of TNS and Interest in WaveTech GmbH” section of this note for additional detail), the Company had a due from related party balance of $5,187,585. This amount was the net of WaveTech GmbH debt assumed by the Company and a loan with WaveTech GmbH.
In connection with the share purchase agreement with WaveTech GmbH discussed in Note 15, Commitments and Contingencies, the Company assumed $7,531,309 of WaveTech GmbH debt. The amount included both principal and accrued interest. These note holders were issued new notes which were convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock. On February 18, 2020, these notes were converted into 1,082,731 shares at a conversion price of $7.80 per share. The value of the conversion was determined using the principal and accrued interest of the new notes at the time of conversion, which was $8,507,557. The Company did not record a gain or loss on the conversion as WaveTech GmbH was considered a related party (refer to Note 6, Related Party Transactions, for additional detail).
Prior to the Company’s sale of its interest in WaveTech GmbH, the balance of the loan with WaveTech GmbH discussed in Note 6, Related Party Transactions, was $3,319,972, which represented the initial loan amount of $3,000,000 and an additional $319,972 received from WaveTech GmbH during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. In the event that the Company’s acquisition of WaveTech GmbH was terminated, the amount of this note would be used to offset amounts owed by WaveTech GmbH to the Company.
Sale of TNS and Interest in WaveTech GmbH
On September 30, 2020, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement with WaveTech Group, Inc. “WaveTech Group”), a Delaware corporation. In connection with the agreement, the Company sold to WaveTech Group its TNS subsidiary. Additionally, the Company sold to WaveTech Group all shares of WaveTech GmbH common stock held in escrow for the Company. As of the date of the sale, the Company held 90% of the common stock of WaveTech GmbH.

● | WaveTech Group agreed to assign to the Company all shares of the Company’s common stock acquired by WaveTech Group following the closing of the transaction as a result of a tender offer. WaveTech Group intends to offer shares of its common stock to the holders of the 1,082,731 shares of the Company’s common stock that were described in the “WaveTech GmbH Background Information” section of this note. These shareholders have the option to acquire shares in WaveTech Group in exchange for their shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company does not know how many shareholders will accept the WaveTech Group offer, if any. Additionally, the offer does not have an expiration date. |
16 |
The Company considered whether or not this transaction would cause TNS to qualify for discontinued operations treatment. Due to the size of the operations of TNS, the Company determined that it did not qualify for discontinued operations treatment as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.
In connection with the sale of TNS, the Company tested its goodwill and intangible assets for impairment. The Company completed a recoverability test as there was an indicator of impairment and determined that the value was recoverable. As such, no impairment was recorded.
As a result of the sale of TNS and the Company’s interest in WaveTech GmbH, the Company recorded a loss on disposal of subsidiary of $4,975,030 to the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Shutdown of AW Solutions, Inc.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company made the decision to shut down its AW Solutions, Inc. subsidiary. AW Solutions, Inc. is part of the Company’s AWS Entities, which also includes AW Solutions Puerto Rico, LLC (“AWS PR”) and Tropical Communications, Inc. (“Tropical”). The operations of AWS PR and Tropical will continue subsequent to the winding down of the operations of AWS. AW Solutions, Inc. remained in operation subsequent to September 30, 2020. The Company considered whether or not the operations of AW Solutions, Inc. would qualify for discontinued operations treatment. As the Company plans to dispose of AW Solutions, Inc. in a method other than by sale, and because the shutdown has not been completed as of the date of this report, the Company determined that the operations of AW Solutions, Inc. do not qualify for discontinued operations treatment as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.
As of the date of this report, AW Solutions, Inc. continues to operate at a lesser capacity. The Company plans to complete the shutdown during the fourth quarter of 2020. Once the operations have fully ceased, the Company plans to abandon the subsidiary.

9. | Factor Financing |
On February 11, 2020, pursuant to an assignment and consent agreement, Bay View Funding purchased and received all of Heritage’s right, title, and interest in the loan and security agreement with the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, ADEX, discussed in Note 7, Loans Payable. In connection with the agreement, the Company received $3,024,532 from Bay View Funding. This money was used to pay off the amounts owed to Heritage at the time of the assignment and consent agreement. The initial term of the factoring agreement is twelve months from the initial funding date.
Under the factoring agreement, the Company’s ADEX subsidiary may borrow up to the lesser of $5,000,000 or an amount equal to the sum of all undisputed purchased receivables multiplied by the advance percentage, less any funds in reserve. ADEX will pay to Bay View Funding a factoring fee upon purchase of receivables by Bay View Funding equal to 0.75% of the gross face value of the purchased receivable for the first 30 day period from the date said purchased receivable is first purchased by Bay View Funding, and a factoring fee of 0.35% per 15 days thereafter until the date said purchased receivable is paid in full or otherwise repurchased by ADEX or otherwise written off by Bay View Funding within the write off period. ADEX will also pay a finance fee to Bay View Funding on the outstanding advances under the agreement at a floating rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate plus 3%. The finance rate will increase or decrease monthly, on the first day of each month, by the amount of any increase or decrease in the Prime Rate, but at no time will the finance fee be less than 7.75%.

10. | Derivative Liabilities |
The embedded conversion options of the convertible debentures described in Note 8, Convertible Debentures, contain conversion features that qualify for embedded derivative classification. The fair value of the liability is re-measured at the end of every reporting period and the change in fair value is reported in the statement of operations as a gain or loss on change in fair value of derivatives. Derivative liabilities also include the fair value of the Company’s share purchase warrants and stock options discussed in Note 13, Share Purchase Warrants and Stock Options. As of September 30, 2020, the derivative liability balance of $1,450,059 was comprised of $1,450,000 of derivatives related to the Company’s convertible debentures, and $59 of derivatives related to the Company’s share purchase warrants and stock options. As of December 31, 2019, the derivative liability balance of $992,733 was comprised of $801,000 of derivatives related to the Company’s convertible debentures, and $191,732 of derivatives related to the Company’s share purchase warrants and stock options.
The table below sets forth a summary of changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019:
September 30, | December 31, | |||||||
2020 | 2019 | |||||||
Balance at the beginning of the period | $ | 992,733 | $ | 3,166,886 | ||||

Addition to derivative due to default penalty | - | 466,000 | ||||||
Balance at the end of the period | $ | 1,450,059 | $ | 992,733 |
The Company uses Level 3 inputs for its valuation methodology for the embedded conversion option liabilities as their fair values were determined by using the 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:
Expected volatility | Risk-free interest rate | Expected dividend yield | Expected life (in years) | |||||||
At December 31, 2019 | 230 - 304% | 1.55 - 1.75% | 0% | 0.25 - 1.16 | ||||||
At September 30, 2020 | 193 - 343% | 0.10 - 1.59% | 0% | 0.25 - 2.60 |

If upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the assets to be distributed among the Series B preferred stock holders and all other shares of capital stock of the Company having the same liquidation preference as the Series B preferred stock shall be insufficient to permit payment to said holders of such amounts, then all of the assets of the Company then remaining shall be distributed ratably among the Series B preferred stock holders and such other capital stock of the Company having the same liquidation preference as the Series B preferred stock, if any. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, after provision is made for Series B preferred stock holders and all other shares of capital stock of the Company having the same liquidation preference as the Series B preferred stock, if any, then-outstanding as provided above, the holders of common stock and other capital stock of the Company having a liquidation preference junior to the Series B preferred stock shall be entitled to receive ratably all remaining assets of the Company to be distributed.

Provided, however, if a Triggering Event (as defined below) occurs, the Aggregate Value shall be reduced by the amount of any Losses (as defined below).
For purposes hereof, a “Triggering Event” shall include any liability arising from a breach of the representations or warranties of WaveTech GmbH (as defined below) contained in the share purchase agreement dated July 15, 2019 and all amendments thereto (as amended, the “SPA”), by and between the Company and WaveTech GmbH, a corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of Germany. “Closing Date” shall have the meaning ascribed to the term in the SPA. “Strike Price” shall mean the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the Series C Conversion Date.
On April 14, 2020, the Company entered into Amendment Number 2 of the share purchase agreement with WaveTech GmbH. Amendment Number 2 replaced the conversion terms of the Series C preferred stock included with Amendment Number 1 with the following:
Conversion. On the second business day following the earlier of (i) the later of (A) April 30, 2020, or such later date as may be determined by the Board, and (B) a reverse split of the common stock.

Additionally, Amendment Number 2 adjusted the amount of common stock issued on the Series C Conversion Date as follows:
If on the earlier of (a) the tenth (l0th) business day prior to the listing of the Company on a national securities exchange (“Uplisting”), or (b) December 15, 2020, the aggregate value of the shares of common stock issued upon conversion of the Series C (the “Conversion Shares”) is less than 95% of the aggregate value of the Conversion Shares on the Series C Conversion Date (such difference in value, the “First Value Differential”), then the Company shall make a pro-rata issuance of additional shares of common stock to each holder in an aggregate amount equal to the First Value Differential (such additional shares, the “First True-Up Shares”). In the event (i) an Uplisting does not occur until sometime in 2021, and (ii) on such date in 2021 as the Board may determine, but in no event later than the tenth (10th) business day prior to the Uplisting (the “Second True-Up Date”), the aggregate value of the Conversion Shares as of the Second True-Up Date is less than 95% of the aggregate value of the Conversion Shares as of December 15, 2020 (such difference in value, the “Second Value Differential”), the Company shall, at the Board’s discretion, make a pro-rata issuance of additional shares of common stock to each holder in an aggregate amount equal to the Second Value Differential (such additional shares, the “Second True-Up Shares”). To the extent any shares of Series C are issued after the Series C Conversion Date, then the holder(s) of such shares shall receive the same number of Conversion Shares such holder(s) would have received had they held the Series C on the Series C Conversion Date.
On September 29, 2020, the Company amended the Series C preferred stock certificate of designation. In connection with the amendment, the designated shares amount was reduced to 8,888,888 shares.

14. | Leases |
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 $269,341 as of January 1, 2019. During the year ended December 31, 2019, non-cash right of use assets recorded in exchange for non-cash operating lease liabilities was $316,600. 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 the incremental borrowing rates as of January 1, 2019 for operating leases that commenced prior to that date.
44 |
The following table sets forth the operating lease right of use (“ROU”) assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:
September 30, | December 31, | |||||||
2020 | 2019 | |||||||
Operating lease assets | $ | 124,100 | $ | 168,384 | ||||
Operating lease liabilities: | ||||||||
Current operating lease liabilities | 130,171 | 173,351 | ||||||
Total operating lease liabilities | $ | 130,171 | $ | 173,351 |
Expense related to leases is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term, including rent holidays. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recognized operating lease expense of $23,582 and $99,473, respectively.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, short-term lease costs were $55,413 and $198,703, respectively.

Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities were $57,909 and $163,127, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. These amounts are included in operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company reduced its operating lease liabilities by $6,307 and $43,180, respectively, for cash paid. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company reduced its operating lease liabilities by $35,027 and $102,316, respectively, for cash paid.
The operating lease liabilities as of September 30, 2020 reflect a weighted average discount rate of 58%. The weighted average remaining term of the leases is 2.4 years. Remaining lease payments as of September 30, 2020 are as follows:
Year ending December 31, | ||||

Leases
The Company leases certain of its properties under leases that expire on various dates through 2023. Some of these agreements include escalation clauses and provide for renewal options ranging from one to five years.

During the three nine months ended September 30, 2020, we sold our TNS subsidiary and made the decision to shut down the operations of AW Solutions, Inc.

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic
The extent to which the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) outbreak and measures taken in response thereto impact our business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
Global health concerns relating to the COVID-19 outbreak have been weighing on the macroeconomic environment, and the outbreak has significantly increased economic uncertainty. Risks related to consumers and businesses lowering or changing spending, which impact domestic and international spend. The outbreak has resulted in authorities implementing numerous measures to try to contain the virus, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter in place orders, and business shutdowns. These measures have not only negatively impacted consumer spending and business spending habits, they have also adversely impacted and may further impact our workforce and operations and the operations of our customers, suppliers and business partners. These measures may remain in place for a significant period of time and they are likely to continue to adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
The spread of COVID-19 has caused us to modify our business practices (including employee travel, employee work locations, and cancellation of physical participation in meetings, events and conferences), and we may take further actions as may be required by government authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers and business partners. There is no certainty that such measures will be sufficient to mitigate the risks posed by the virus or otherwise be satisfactory to government authorities.
The extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak impacts our business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including, but not limited to, the duration and spread of the outbreak, its severity, the actions to contain the virus or treat its impact, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. Even after the COVID-19 outbreak has subsided, we may continue to experience materially adverse impacts to our business as a result of its global economic impact, including any recession that has occurred or may occur in the future.
There are no comparable recent events which may provide guidance as to the effect of the spread of COVID-19 and a global pandemic, and, as a result, the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 outbreak or a similar health epidemic is highly uncertain and subject to change. We do not yet know the full extent of the impacts on our business, our operations or the global economy as a whole. However, the effects could have a material impact on our results of operations, and we will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation closely.

These decreased were partially offset by impairment charges totaling $1,904,738 for the three months ended September 30, 2020.

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 September 30, 2020, we had cash of $653,130 compared to $468,819 as of December 31, 2019.
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 September 30, 2020, 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:
a) | Due to our small size, we do not have a proper segregation of duties in certain areas of our financial reporting process. The areas where we have a lack of segregation of duties include cash receipts and disbursements, approval of purchases and approval of accounts payable invoices for payment. This control deficiency, which is pervasive in nature, results in a reasonable possibility that material misstatements of the consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis; | |
b) | we do not have any formally adopted internal controls surrounding our cash and financial reporting procedures; and |
c) | the lack of the quantity of resources to implement an appropriate level of review controls to properly evaluate the completeness and accuracy of transactions entered into by our company. |
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.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
53 |
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.
As a “smaller reporting company,” we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
