FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
This Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are projections of events, revenues, income, future economic performance or management’s plans and objectives for our future operations. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” or “continue,” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and the risks set out below, any of which may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks include, by way of example and not in limitation:
 
the uncertainty of profitability based upon our history of losses;
 
risks related to failure to obtain adequate financing on a timely basis and on acceptable terms to continue as going concern;
 
risks related to our operations; and
 
other risks and uncertainties related to our business plan and business strategy.
 
This list is not an exhaustive list of the factors that may affect any of our forward-looking statements. These and other factors should be considered carefully, and readers should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Forward looking statements are made based on management’s beliefs, estimates and opinions on the date the statements are made, and we undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements if these beliefs, estimates and opinions or other circumstances should change. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.
 
Our financial statements are stated in United States dollars (US$) and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. All references to “common stock” refer to the common shares in our capital stock.

Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act
 
We qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 101 of the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”) as we did not have more than $1,000,000,000 in annual gross revenue and did not have such amount as of December 31, 2019, our last fiscal year.
 
We may lose our status as an emerging growth company on the last day of our fiscal year during which (i) our annual gross revenue exceeds $1,000,000,000 or (ii) we issue more than $1,000,000,000 in non-convertible debt in a three-year period. We will lose our status as an emerging growth company if at any time we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer. We will lose our status as an emerging growth company on the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement.

As an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other burdens that are otherwise applicable to generally reporting companies. These provisions include:
 
-
A requirement to have only two years of audited financial statement and only two years of related Management Discussion and Analysis Disclosures;
 
-
Reduced disclosure about the emerging growth company’s executive compensation arrangements; and
 
-
No non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements.
 
As an emerging growth company, we are exempt from Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Section 14A(a) and (b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such sections are provided below:
 
Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires a public company’s auditor to attest to, and report on, management’s assessment of its internal controls.
 
Sections 14A(a) and (b) of the Securities and Exchange Act, implemented by Section 951 of the Dodd-Frank Act, require companies to hold shareholder advisory votes on executive compensation and golden parachute compensation.
 
We have already taken advantage of these reduced reporting burdens in this Form 10-K, which are also available to us as a smaller reporting company as defined under Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
 
As long as we qualify as an emerging growth company, we will not be required to comply with the requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Section 14A(a) and (b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
 
In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) for complying with new or revised accounting standards.  We are choosing to irrevocably opt into the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(2) of the JOBS Act.

CORPORATE STRUCTURE
 
Our corporate structure is as follows:

CURRENT BUSINESS
 
Company Overview
 
Through key acquisitions in 2015, we launched wholesale and retail operations in the United States and Internationally. These first acquisitions with their customer bases, Distribution Channels and Technology are the base for our organic growth strategy opportunities to cross pollinate or sell our planned New Generation, New Media Technology products and services, Domestically and Internationally.
 
We, and our related companies and acquisitions, are seeking to be an innovative Telecom/CUBS (Cloud Unified Businesses Services) as one of the first to combine recurring Telecom, Mobile Banking, Media and Data/Cloud Services revenue under one roof, and then bring all relevant data from those services into a proprietary information matrix platform capable of delivering a “Daily and Intelligent Dashboard” to our Domestic and International customers. Such a cohesive combination of services and information from a single provider has been heretofore nonexistent. We intend to pioneer an integrated communication services and information technology suite, to empower companies with vital communications services technology, and highly relevant diagnostic information.
 
To date we have generated revenues primarily through operating as a Competitive Local Exchange Carrier (“CLEC”) in Arizona and starting in 2019, as an Internet Service Provider. Our primary revenues in 2020 and 2019 are primarily from telecommunications services and products including internet sales, and from film production.
 
Our operating divisions historically have been those that sell telecommunications services and those that sale telecommunications products, including internet sales starting in 2019. Cloud based services assets were acquired in 2016 and are intended to be more of a contributing factor to revenues in 2020 and forward. During 2020, we initiated our medical services division which we anticipate to also play a larger contributing factor to overall revenues in coming years from not only medical testing services but the use of our cloud based technologies.
 
Our Key Divisions:
 
TPT SpeedConnect: ISP and Telecom
 
The Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of SpeedConnect LLC (“SpeedConnect”) for $1.75 million, including the assumption of all contracts and liabilities pertinent to operations and conveyed them into a wholly-owned subsidiary TPT SpeedConnect. SpeedConnect was founded in 2002 and operates as a national, predominantly rural, wireless telecommunications residential and commercial Internet Service Provider (ISP). TPT SpeedConnect’s primary business model is subscription based, monthly reoccurring revenues, from wireless delivered, high-speed Internet connections utilizing its company built and owned national network. SpeedConnect also resells third-party satellite Internet, DSL Internet, IP telephony and DISH TV products. This Acquisition closed on May 7, 2019.
 
SpeedConnect was a privately-held Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) provider. Today, TPT SpeedConnect is one of the nation’s largest rural wireless broadband Internet providers which serves approximately 12,000 residential and commercial wireless broadband Internet customers, in Arizona, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Montana, Nebraska, South Dakota and Texas.
 
SpeedConnect is a full-service ISP. The company’s Frankenmuth Michigan back office is run by company employees, and includes, network management, network monitoring and maintenance, significant allocations of registered address in public IP4 and IP6 space, employee based customer service, installation services, automated resources and application based scheduling and tracking, paper, ACH, credit card, and email billing, warehousing, fulfillment, integrated customer premise provisioning, walled garden collections and customer self-restarts, bandwidth usage tracking, integrated, secure, and deep financial and operations dash board reporting, collections, accounting, payables, owned and licensed backhaul, intelligent bandwidth management, consumption rated billing, customer payment portals, and all wrapped in a mature, first hit on all search engines, Internet Brand. The company today services residential and commercial Internet customers over its 220-cellular tower foot-print across 10 Midwestern States.
 
Today’s urban ISP landscape is highly competitive and dominated by some of the world’s largest going concerns. Names like Comcast, AT&T, Cox, Charter and DISH are household words. Home Internet service has become synonymous with Cable. However, this is limited to the high-density top 100 markets. Beyond that the competition becomes more small licensed free wireless providers and satellite. Wire-line providers, unless backed with government subsidies, do not build beyond 15 homes per street mile. SpeedConnect services both rural and non-rural areas, and historically has done well in both marketplaces, however the margins are improved in the more rural areas due to reduced voluntary and involuntary customer attrition.
 
TPT SpeedConnect’s key suppliers include but are not limited to; Great Lakes Data Systems, Juniper, ZTE, Huawei, Cisco, Sandvine, American Tower, SBA Tower, Crown Castle, CenturyLink, SuddenLink, South Dakota Networks, 123 dot net, Genesee Telephone, Air Advantage Fiber, Iron Mountain, ConVergence, CDW, Talley, Tessco, Bursma Electronics, DragonWave, Ceragon Networks, Telrad, Arris, AP, APD, Plante Morran, Fifth Third, Sprint and others.

Blue Collar Production Division
 
Our production division, Blue Collar Productions (formerly Blue Collar, Inc.), creates original live action and animated content productions and has produced hundreds of hours of material for the television, theatrical, home entertainment and new media markets. Mr. Rowen, our CEO of Blue Collar, works closely with major television networks, cable channels and film studios to produce home entertainment products.
 
The Documentary film group at Blue Collar recently completed a film on the cultural impact of Goodfellas: 20 Years Later that featured Martin Scorsese, Robert DeNiro, Lorraine Bracco, Leonardo DiCaprio and many others. They have also produced a series of film anthologies for Turner Classic Movies. Blue Collar is currently in production on Built To Fail, which is a look at the history of street wear. The film features Tommy Hilfiger, Russell Simmons and a host of notable street wear designers. They are also in pre-production on The 29 Club, a look at notable musicians who all tragically died at age 29; Memories in Music, which is an in-depth study of the impact of memory through music on Alzheimer’s patients and Faces of Vegas, an exploration into the culture of Las Vegas, Nevada. 
 
Blue Collar Productions currently has the feature film Looking For Alaska, based on the John Green novel, producing for Paramount Pictures. The company produced for a pilot for MTV for a possible series, “My Jam” aired in the Fall of 2016. Blue Collar has also produced two seasons of “Caribbean’s Next Top Model Season.”
 
Blue Collar Productions designs branding and marketing campaigns and has had contracts with some of the world’s largest companies including PepsiCo, Intel, HP, WalMart and many other Fortune 500 companies. Additionally, they create motion picture, television and home entertainment marketing campaigns for studios including Sony, DreamWorks, Twentieth Century Fox, Universal Studios, Paramount Studios, and Warner Brothers.
 
The CEO of this division, Mr. Rowen, has worked with filmmakers including Steven Spielberg, Ron Howard, Brett Ratner and James Cameron. Mr. Rowen also has very close working relationships with actors including Tom Hanks, Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts, Robert Downey, Jr., Denzel Washington, Ryan Gosling, Sofia Vergara, Mariska Hargitay and many others.
 
Prior to starting Blue Collar Productions, Mr. Rowen functioned as the head of home entertainment production for DreamWorks SKG from 1997 to 2000. He also serves as the President of Long Leash Entertainment, an aggregator of entertainment based intellectual property and creator of high-end entertainment content.
 
TPT MedTech, LLC – Medical Division
 
TPT MedTech believes it is strategically positioned to take advantage of the current trend in Point of Care Testing (“POCT”) by aligning itself with the exponential growth of smart devices equipped with mobile healthcare (mH), which may revolutionize personalized healthcare monitoring and management, thereby paving the way for next-generation POCT.
 
The rapid turnaround times, improved decision times, and time-critical decision-making of TPT MedTech QuikLAB can result in total savings between 8-20% of laboratory costs for facilities that implement POC testing. The savings realized due to the decreased cost of waiting for results can be as much as $260 USD per patient. For those that use and implement POC testing, waiting can improve by as much as 46 minutes per patient real-time scenarios—and days in standard laboratory settings. Management believes TPT MedTech QuikLAB is uniquely positioned to serve this growing market.
 
SANIQuik is a decontamination and sanitizing unit that TPT MedTech intends to co-market with the QuikLAB mobile laboratory as an integrated solution to certain issues arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. SANIQuik uses hypochlorous acid as a spray mist. This chemical has been safely used on many food products for decades. Hypochlorous acid does not cause irritation to eyes and skin. Even if it were ingested it causes no harm. Because it is so safe, it is the ideal sanitizer for direct food sanitation and food contact surfaces. It is also ideal in healthcare where it is used for wound cleansing, eye drops, and patient room disinfection replacing toxic chemicals such as bleach and quaternary ammonium salts. Hypochlorous acid is FDA, USDA, and EPA approved to minimize microbial food safety hazards of fresh-cut fruits and vegetables. (See https://www.hypochlorousacid.com/about.)
 
TPT MedTech believes the SANIQuik external sanitation is safe, effective and flexible for its utilization with options for users. TPT MedTech intends to provide optional masks to users as they approach the SANIQuik. The mask provides a cover around inhalation of the mist. External sanitation is safe and effective, providing an additional routine to hand washing and facial coverings.

TPT MedTech has developed a business model which markets SANIQuik as a novel product within the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) industry. This PPE distribution model is focused in the Federal procurement space (Veteran’s Administration, Department of Defense, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Centers for Disease Control, National Guard) as well as vendor to the top 20 National Hospital Group Purchasing Organizations (GPO).
 
TPT MedTech will be requesting Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) from the FDA for SANIQuik during the COVID-19 pandemic, which has been granted to other sanitizing units. SANIQuik already has the European CE mark. For attorney fees and consultants, we are estimating $50,000 for the EUA.
 
TPT MedTech developed its "QuikPASS™" Check and Verify passport system and Covid 19/vaccination monitoring platform for corporations, governmental organizations, schools, airlines, hospitals, sports venues & arenas, restaurants, hotels, and nightclubs. The all-in-one mobile system checks and verifies that an individual has been tested for Covid-19 or vaccinated, providing proof individuals are able to travel or gain access to venues with the idea that everyone inside that venue would be Covid free. The "QuikPASS" "Check and Verify" passport-style platform works with third-party testing labs and organizations that participate on the "QuikPASS" Network and will be offered FREE to US domestic and international business commerce and governmental organizations around the world.

(“SDM”) is an established Southern California based software engineering and Internet e-commerce marketing services company that provides enterprise-class integrated solutions for manufacturers, retailers, and distributors focused on developing solutions for companies seeking online growth and profitability.
 
TruCom, LLC– CLEC–Phoenix, Arizona
 
Our TruCom division, a subsidiary of Copperhead Digital Holdings, LLC, is a Facilities Based Competitive Local Exchange Carrier (CLEC) headquartered in Phoenix, AZ. Founded in 2006 (as Copperhead Digital Carrier) for the purpose of operating a state-of-the-art Fiber Optic Network constructed by and acquired from Adelphia Communications, TruCom operated its own carrier class Fiber Optic Network, state-of-the-art Wireless Point-to-Point network, and Patent Pending proprietary “Bulletproof” technology seamlessly integrating the two. Currently Trucom has no customers, however, with little but prioritized capital and time we believe it could be operating and generating revenue again for the Company.
 
TruCom offered Phone, Internet, Fiber Optic, Wireless, Hosted PBX, Wi-Fi, Wi-Max, Engineering, Cabling, Wiring and Cloud services. With a penchant for pushing the envelope, TruCom has pioneered innovative, hosted firewall and managed MPLS service technologies (SuperCore MPLS™) and was the Industry first to engineer patent-pending failover services utilizing our own fiber optic and wireless networks to guarantee business continuity and service uptime. Located in multiple Local Serving Offices and Points of Presence (POP’s) in the primary Data Centers in the market, TruCom’s extensive Fiber Optic Network runs through the heart of the most densely populated corridors of the Greater Phoenix Metro Area. Their Wireless Point to Point and Point to Multipoint Network is fed by the infinitely scalable capacity of the Fiber Optic Network and consists of more than 16 Major Access Points.

This edge device deployment would deliver free Content, free Linear Broadcast feeds and Social Media features on our Free proprietary Mobile app platform with the anticipation to aggregate and showcase our original and third-party Content, Digital Media and Linear broadcast feeds from and too the four corners of the Globe.
 
All of the back technology or features for ViewMe Live have been developed and are currently supporting revenue generating activities within our medical division. We anticipate spending an additional $2,000,000 USD to complete all the front-end features which we believe, depending on a funding event, will be in the next six to eighteen months.
 
We have generated revenues in 2020 and 2019, primarily by selling telecommunications services, including operating as a Broadband Internet provider and film production. We had previously operated as a Facilities Based Telecommunications Competitive Local Exchange Carrier (“CLEC”) in Arizona. The company operated an approximate 58 miles Fiber optic ring throughout the greater Phoenix valley offering such services as Basic Residential Phone service, Basic Business phone service, POT’s lines, Basic Fiber Broadband Internet services, Wireless Internet Services, Toll Free 800 services, EFax, Erate, Dedicated T-1 Services, Auto Attendant, SIP Trunks, Mobile and Voip services. These services will continue, as capital permits, weighted heavily towards offering more Wireless Internet services and the Fiber Ring will be transformed into a Private Test facility to be offered for rent to businesses needing a private network to test new products for proof of concept purposes. Since the acquisition of the assets of SpeedConnect in 2019, we operate as a Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) provider and are considered one of the nation’s largest rural wireless broadband Internet providers serving approximately 12,000 residential and commercial wireless broadband Internet customers, in Arizona, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Montana, Nebraska, South Dakota and Texas.
 
We, and our related acquired companies are seeking to be an innovative Media-Telecom/CUBS (Cloud Unified Businesses Services) company and one of the first to combine recurring Telecom, Media and Data/Cloud Services revenue under one roof, then bring all relevant data from those services into a proprietary telecom infrastructure and information matrix platform capable of delivering a “Daily and Intelligent Dashboard” to our Domestic and International customers. Such a planned cohesive combination of services and information from a single provider has been heretofore nonexistent. We intend to pioneer an integrate communication services and information technology suites to empower individuals and companies with vital communications, Smartphone, Network, Content, SaaS (Software as A Service), New Media Technology products and services, and valuable relevant diagnostic information both Domestically and Internationally. 
 
We are currently able to deliver a live Global TV Broadcast and Social Media Platform utilizing a Mobile App technology on our proprietary Content Delivery Network. We plan to expand our Cloud Unified Business Services (CUBS) technology-based business services unifying multiple services from the cloud including applications developed for our medical division.
 
CUBS (Cloud Unified Business Services) - We are a CUBS provider, acquiring customers and then cross selling additional products and services through our proprietary Wrap Around Relationship Marketing (WARM) system, intending to make the customers very sticky.

Planned Activities
 
Big Data & Predictive Analytics - Our capability to utilize our proprietary aggregation platform to gather data from our hardware and software edge device (End Users) deployments positions the Company to be a leader in predictive analytics.
 
Cross-Sales – Our growth strategy through complimentary acquisitions may create opportunities to cross and sell its New Generation, New Media technology products and services to a growing customer base across multiple distribution channels, both domestically and internationally.
 
Market Launch - Through our acquisition of View-me Live from Matrixsites, we have acquired the live backend broadcast Network technology for our Global Mobile TV and Social Media platform. These assets also, in large part, allowed us to develop technology and applications being used in our medical division. Subject to raising capital ($2,000,000) from our fund-raising activities we believe we can continue to market and enhance our medical division operations, as well as, complete within six to eighteen months the frontend development component to launch our “View-me Live” Mobile APP delivery platform.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resource Needs 
 
We anticipate needing an estimated $38,000,000 in capital to continue our business operations and expansion. We do not have committed sources for these additional funds and will need to be obtained through debt or equity placements or a combination of those.
 
Estimate of Liquidity and Capital Resource Needs
 
Equipment purchase and manufacturing
 $14,000,000 
Product advancement
  2,250,000 
Acquisitions
  500,000 
Debt Restructuring
  7,300,000 
Working capital, including marketing
  10,710,000 
Brokerage commissions
  3,040,000 
Offering expenses
  200,000 
 
 $38,000,000 
 
Although the items set forth above indicate management’s present estimate of our liquidity and capital resource needs, we may have difference needs or utilize corporate liquidity and capital resources for other corporate purposes. Our actual use of liquidity and capital resources may vary from these estimates because of a number of factors, including whether we are successful in completing future acquisitions, whether we obtain additional funding, what other obligations have been incurred by us, the operating results of our initial acquisition activities, and whether we are able to operate profitably. If our need for liquidity and capital resources increases, we may seek additional funds through any financing opportunity available to us. There are no current commitments for any such financing opportunity, and there can be no assurance that these funds may be obtained in the future if the need arises.

InnovaQor Merger with Southern Plains
 
On August 1, 2020, InnovaQor, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Merger Agreement with the publicly traded company Southern Plains Oil Corp. (OTC PINK: SPLN prior to Merger Agreement). The SPLN Merger moves the Company’s subsidiary InnovaQor one step closer to completing a recently executed Asset Purchase Agreement with Rennova Health, Inc. The Merger also positions InnovaQor to trade on the OTC Market, which InnovaQor is now traded under INOQ. The Company was to receive 6,000,000 common shares as part of the Merger Agreement out of a total of 6,400,667 common shares outstanding.
 
During August, InnovaQor authorized a Series A Super Majority Preferred Stock valued at $350,000 by management and issued to a third party in exchange for legal services. Effective September 30, 2020, the Series A Super Majority Preferred Stock was exchanged with TPT for a note payable of $350,000 payable in cash or common stock (see Note 5(2)). As such, as of September 30, 2020, the Company, for accounting purposes, took control of the merged InnovaQor and reflected in it’s consolidated balance the consolidated balance sheet of InnovaQor which assets and liabilities were di minimus. A License Agreement that was originally signed between the Company and InnovaQor for software development was rescinded March 30, 2021.
 
Rennova Acquisition Agreement
 
Effective December 31, 2020, the Company completed its acquisition agreement (“Rennova Acquisition Agreement”) with Rennova Health, Inc. (“Rennova”), an owner and operator of rural hospitals in Tennessee, and InnovaQor, to merge Rennova’s software and genetic testing interpretation divisions, Health Technology Solutions, Inc. (HTS) and Advanced Molecular Services Group, Inc., (AMSG) and their subsidiaries into InnovaQor. After closing, these entities were to operate as wholly owned subsidiaries of InnovaQor which then would have been controlled by Rennova. Closing was subject to a number of customary conditions for a transaction of this nature and was intended to happen on or before January 31, 2020.
 
InnovaQor had previously completed a license agreement giving it certain rights to assets and technology from the Company’s proprietary live streaming communication technology. As part of the license agreement InnovaQor and TPT had agreed on a development project to create a next generation telehealth type platform. It was intended to combine the TPT and Rennova assets and technology into a smart phone and computer accessible healthcare platform to facilitate a patient’s immediate access to healthcare and their local hospital or doctor’s office, for initial consultation, scheduling of appointments and follow on care and other added value services that may be one off or recurring.
 
Rennova had agreed to complete the necessary steps and SEC filings with the intent to facilitate TPT shareholders receiving approximately 2,500,000 shares in InnovaQor, and Rennova’s shareholders receiving approximately $5M of Preference shares which were be converted to common shares. As described in the Rennova Acquisition Agreement, TPT, or its assigns, was to retain direct ownership of a further 3,500,000 shares and Rennova and retain ownership of an additional $17.5M of preference shares with certain conversion rights and restrictions, making it the contolling entity of InnovaQor.
 
Rennova terminated the Rennova Acquisition Agreement effective March 5, 2021, and the Company agreed to this termination with both parties not able to come to agreement of final terms.
 
EPIC Reference Labs, Inc. Acquisition
 
On August 6, 2020, TPT MedTech signed a binding letter of intent with Rennova to acquire EPIC Reference Labs, Inc. (“EPIC”), wholly owned subsidiary of Rennova, for $750,000, comprised of a deposit of $25,000 within five days of signing and the remainder due either from 20% of net proceeds received from fund raising that the Company had initiated and as evidenced by SEC Filings or a minimum payment of $25,000 per month until paid in full. The first $25,000 payment was made and was accounted for as a deposit in the consolidated balance sheet. All defined laboratory equipment and a $100,000 lease deposit were to be excluded from the sales price. All liabilities incurred up to signing were to be discharged. Receivables existing at signing were to be 100% ownership of Rennova. There were no other significant assets. This acquisition would allow TPT MedTech to own a license to operate medical testing facilities.
 
TPT MedTech and Rennova subsequently agreed that the acquisition would be of an asset acquisition of substantially all of the assets of EPIC instead of acquiring the stock of EPIC, but that all other terms were to be consistent with the binding letter of intent. Until the change of ownership of the assets was complete, Rennova started operating the laboratory under a management agreement dated August 6, 2020 between TPT MedTech, LLC and Rennova. There are approximately $19,000 of expenses in our consolidated statement of operations under the management agreement.
 
 
10
 
 
Subsequently, TPT MedTech decided that it would not acquire the assets of EPIC and terminated its relationship with EPIC. The $25,000 deposit was then expensed to the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020.
 
Bridge Internet, LLC Acquisition
 
On March 6, 2020, the Company executed an Acquisition and Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”) dated March 6, 2020 with Bridge Internet, LLC (“Bridge Internet”), a Delaware Limited Liability Company. On December 23, 2020, the Company and prior owner agreed to terminate the agreement.

Our Business Methods
 
Centralized Platform and New Generation Network
 
We are now operating a next-generation broadband network reselling other companies’ networks on a wholesale arbitrage basis (buying and reselling other companies’ capacity) on our centralized VIVO Platform. We are interconnected to U.S. and International carriers to date. Once funded, we intend to deploy our own in-country networks in the targeted emerging markets. This will enable us to be able to provide better quality termination and increase our operating margins. We believe our platform will produce substantial operational cost savings. Because of our pricing advantage, we are able to offer our clients products and services at an attractive pricing structure, creating a strong competitive advantage. Based on our low network operating costs and low-cost infrastructure, we believe we may penetrate emerging markets with little network build-out and at a reasonable price. Management believes that our service offerings will be well received in emerging markets based on existing relationships and pricing structure, which will enable us to set the industry standard with little competition.
 
Once we establish in-country networks, we will be able to market Phones, Networks, Content and SaaS products targeted to specific subgroups that coincide with the country/region where we have a network in place or a strategic partnership network in place.
 
Use of Incumbent Networks
 
Under formal agreements we can privately brand and resell incumbent carriers’ underlying broadband networks, while deploying our own Wimax/Wi-Fi/GSM service plans and mobile handsets.
 
As a true value add, our VIVO billing platform allows us to manage the billing and routing, offering our customers a seamless, branded network from anywhere we maintain a relationship. By way of incumbent operator networks, we can sell and market to retail and wholesale customers without the high infrastructure costs associated with deploying our own network. If and when the revenues justify the cost of constructing our own network, we plan to investigate adding a wireless Broadband/ GSM network, and transfer our customer base in a final step to reduce costs of goods sold long-term.
 
 
11
 
 
Wholesale Termination
 
Wholesale termination is the reselling of excess network capacity on a reciprocal basis to other telecom carriers both domestically and internationally. Due to the large number of carrier relationships we have in the US and abroad, we believe we can immediately increase our wholesale termination in each country in which we have a license to operate. This wholesale activity generates additional cash flow immediately if successfully implemented. Wholesale termination is a low risk, low margin business.
 
Service Description
 
Our next-generation wireless Broadband/GSM network relies on non-line-of-sight technology. This will provide a level of performance comparable to that delivered by evolving Worldwide Interoperability of Microwave Access (WiMAX) standards. The cost advantage equates to substantial reductions of fixed costs as compared to building traditional, legacy, and switched networks.
 
Our products and marketing strategy unifies the various features available in today’s telecommunication environment including:
 
Significant international broadband capacity
 
High quality VoIP communication
 
Cellular/GSM and Wi-Fi wireless convergence

TPT SpeedConnect: ISP and Telecom
 
The Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of SpeedConnect LLC (“SpeedConnect”) for $1.75 million, including the assumption of all contracts and liabilities pertinent to operations and conveyed them into a wholly-owned subsidiary TPT SpeedConnect. SpeedConnect was founded in 2002 and operates as a national, predominantly rural, wireless telecommunications residential and commercial Internet Service Provider (ISP). TPT SpeedConnect’s primary business model is subscription based, monthly reoccurring revenues, from wireless delivered, high-speed Internet connections utilizing its company built and owned national network. SpeedConnect also resells third-party satellite Internet, DSL Internet, IP telephony and DISH TV products. This Acquisition closed on May 7, 2019.

SpeedConnect was a privately-held Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) provider. Today, TPT SpeedConnect is one of the nation’s largest rural wireless broadband Internet providers which serves approximately 12,000 residential and commercial wireless broadband Internet customers, in Arizona, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Montana, Nebraska, South Dakota and Texas.
 
SpeedConnect is a full-service ISP. The company’s back office is run by company employees, and includes, network management, network monitoring and maintenance, significant allocations of registered address in public IP4 and IP6 space, employee based customer service, installation services, automated resources and application based scheduling and tracking, paper, ACH, credit card, and email billing, warehousing, fulfillment, integrated customer premise provisioning, walled garden collections and customer self-restarts, bandwidth usage tracking, integrated, secure, and deep financial and operations dash board reporting, collections, accounting, payables, owned and licensed backhaul, intelligent bandwidth management, consumption rated billing, customer payment portals, and all wrapped in a mature, first hit on all search engines, Internet Brand. The company today services residential and commercial Internet customers over its 220-cellular tower foot-print across 10 Midwestern States.
 
Today’s urban ISP landscape is highly competitive and dominated by some of the world’s largest going concerns. Names like Comcast, AT&T, Cox, Charter and DISH are household words. Home Internet service has become synonymous with Cable. However, this is limited to the high-density top 100 markets. Beyond that the competition becomes more small licensed free wireless providers and satellite. Wire-line providers, unless backed with government subsidies, do not build beyond 15 homes per street mile. SpeedConnect services both rural and non-rural areas, and historically has done well in both marketplaces, however the margins are improved in the more rural areas due to reduced voluntary and involuntary customer attrition.
 
TPT SpeedConnect’s key suppliers include but are not limited to; Great Lakes Data Systems, Juniper, ZTE, Huawei, Cisco, Sandvine, American Tower, SBA Tower, Crown Castle, CenturyLink, SuddenLink, South Dakota Networks, 123 dot net, Genesee Telephone, Air Advantage Fiber, Iron Mountain, ConVergence, CDW, Talley, Tessco, Bursma Electronics, DragonWave, Ceragon Networks, Telrad, Arris, AP, APD, Plante Morran, Fifth Third, Sprint and others.

TPT MedTech, LLC – Medical Division
 
TPT MedTech believes it is strategically positioned to take advantage of the current trend in Point of Care Testing (“POCT”) by aligning itself with the exponential growth of smart devices equipped with mobile healthcare (mH), which may revolutionize personalized healthcare monitoring and management, thereby paving the way for next-generation POCT.
 
The rapid turnaround times, improved decision times, and time-critical decision-making of TPT MedTech QuikLAB can result in total savings between 8-20% of laboratory costs for facilities that implement POC testing. The savings realized due to the decreased cost of waiting for results can be as much as $260 USD per patient. For those that use and implement POC testing, waiting can improve by as much as 46 minutes per patient real-time scenarios—and days in standard laboratory settings. Management believes TPT MedTech QuikLAB is uniquely positioned to serve this growing market.
 
SANIQuik is a decontamination and sanitizing unit that TPT MedTech intends to co-market with the QuikLAB mobile laboratory as an integrated solution to certain issues arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. SANIQuik uses hypochlorous acid as a spray mist. This chemical has been safely used on many food products for decades. Hypochlorous acid does not cause irritation to eyes and skin. Even if it were ingested it causes no harm. Because it is so safe, it is the ideal sanitizer for direct food sanitation and food contact surfaces. It is also ideal in healthcare where it is used for wound cleansing, eye drops, and patient room disinfection replacing toxic chemicals such as bleach and quaternary ammonium salts. Hypochlorous acid is FDA, USDA, and EPA approved to minimize microbial food safety hazards of fresh-cut fruits and vegetables. (See https://www.hypochlorousacid.com/about.)
 
TPT MedTech believes the SANIQuik external sanitation is safe, effective and flexible for its utilization with options for users. TPT MedTech intends to provide optional masks to users as they approach the SANIQuik. The mask provides a cover around inhalation of the mist. External sanitation is safe and effective, providing an additional routine to hand washing and facial coverings.
 
TPT MedTech has developed a business model which markets SANIQuik as a novel product within the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) industry. This PPE distribution model is focused in the Federal procurement space (Veteran’s Administration, Department of Defense, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Centers for Disease Control, National Guard) as well as vendor to the top 20 National Hospital Group Purchasing Organizations (GPO).
 
TPT MedTech will be requesting Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) from the FDA for SANIQuik during the COVID-19 pandemic, which has been granted to other sanitizing units. SANIQuik already has the European CE mark. For attorney fees and consultants, we are estimating $50,000 for the EUA.
 
TPT MedTech developed its "QuikPASS™" Check and Verify passport system and Covid 19/vaccination monitoring platform for corporations, governmental organizations, schools, airlines, hospitals, sports venues & arenas, restaurants, hotels, and nightclubs. The all-in-one mobile system checks and verifies that an individual has been tested for Covid-19 or vaccinated, providing proof individuals are able to travel or gain access to venues with the idea that everyone inside that venue would be Covid free. The "QuikPASS" "Check and Verify" passport-style platform works with third-party testing labs and organizations that participate on the "QuikPASS" Network and will be offered FREE to US domestic and international business commerce and governmental organizations around the world.

To further enhance the sales process, we will offer an offering program including services and product sheets, coupons, point of sale materials (banners, shelf talkers, and end cap displays and danglers) and internet marketing programs.
 
Based on the above benefit scenarios, we plan to seize the following opportunities:
 
Build superior brand recognition and become recognized as a category leader.
Expand the US distribution into all states.
Establish distribution internationally.
Establish and manage a knowledgeable team of account executives with industry experience.
Create a retail merchandising program that will build a strong market share.
 
The purpose of our marketing efforts is to move the product sales from their current position into the rapid growing “popularity” stage. Our strategy includes the following marketing programs: Branding; Merchandising; Direct; Display Advertising; Media; Public Relations; Publicity; Events; Investor Relations; Metrics Dashboard; and, Personal Sales. Our objective is to gain the sales momentum required to reach the “brand preference” stage of product growth as soon as possible. This is the stage where we plan sales grow at a steady and stabilized pace.
 
THE DIRECT MARKETING PROGRAM
 
A complete direct marketing program including direct mail, blast email and URLs may be used to introduce the products to new customers and secure leads for the sales team. We plan to employ the services of a database marketing company to leverage techniques to target prospective clients and reinforce product messages throughout the selling process. This process will commence with the modeling of our existing customer data and the analysis of the results using sophisticated analytic tools. Cross-channel marketing will be utilized in conjunction with the direct marketing including social marketing. Our focus of this marketing medium will be relevance and timing, which only this medium can provide full control over and the ability to fully quantify the results.
 
THE MEDIA MARKETING PROGRAM
 
We intend to test several media options to determine which, if any, effectively drive sales and sales leads. The mediums being consider include outdoor advertising, both static and mobile, magazine ads, and radio spots. Other media to be explored are direct mail post cards and emails to opt in viewers.
 
THE PUBLIC RELATIONS/PUBLICITY PROGRAM
 
We plan to employ the services of a public relations firm to build a corporate profile to keep the name and the services and products in front of consumers. A third-party PR firm will be responsible for writing and publishing press releases, coordinating event marketing and managing investor relations.
 
 
16
 
 
We employ marketing, sales and customer service personnel on an as needed basis for specific events to build brand awareness. We use a range of marketing strategies and tactics to build our brand and increase sales, including point-of-sale materials, event sponsorship, in-store and on-premise promotions, public relations, and a variety of other traditional and non-traditional marketing techniques to support the sales of all of our products.
 
We believe that a marketing mix of event promotions, social media, print advertising in local media and internet advertising providing information and samples of our products at social events is a strategy that may help increase sales.
 
TARGET CUSTOMER
 
We plan to profile our existing customers and create a sophisticated data model to mathematically and statistically identify our “ideal” customer. Further the model will be used to learn exactly how the target customer wishes to be communicated with and marketed to.
 
THE INTERNATIONAL MARKET
 
We plan to market our product internationally. Many of the current products offered by us have features for the international community. This will be a secondary but strong focus by our marketing team.
 
CORPORATE STRATEGY
 
Our Goals
 
Our primary goal is to continue to grow our business by improving value to our current customers and vendors. In providing a high-quality network we intend to continue to grow our business. Additionally, we intend to purchase established telecommunications and technology companies that will immediately generate and increase traffic (revenue) to our Company’s retail and wholesale network. Companies that we are strategically aligned with have in their core business synergistic retail products and services that include, but are not limited to, Telecom Cloud Services Media, Merchant Services/Mobile Banking, Cloud Services and Media (e.g. credit/debit card processing, check/ACH payment processing, ecommerce/merchant processing, web hosting, voice, data, GSM/Wi-Fi Mobile, Mobile Money Transfers, IPTV, VOD and Live Mobile Broadcasting, Prepaid Calling Card and PIN-less Prepaid services). If we acquire a strategic partner as a subsidiary, we believe we will have the ability to aggregate their analogous technology platforms onto our proprietary Software Access System operating platform for integration and efficiency.
 
We intend to work our media to accelerate cohesively in the mobile technology sectors: LIVE Broadcast, Video on Demand (VOD) Apps, and Digital Video Magazine (DVM) Apps. While “white labeling” our technologies as SaaS, our primary focus is what we believe is the first Global Cyber LIVE Mobile TV broadcast network, ViewMe Live. The ViewMe Live Network™ is a 24-hour LIVE worldwide mobile TV network, delivered via iOS and Android apps. The ViewMe Live Network™ presents a diversity of Linear Broadcast Channels (Domestically and International), coupled with Social Media Platforms with combined functions that compete with some of the largest and most powerful Digital Media platforms, to connected audiences who live a mobile-centric life.
 
 
DEVELOPMENT FLOW CHART

Network Services
 
Domestic and Global Telecommunications offerings include: Mobile TV, Phone, Internet, Fiber Optic, Wireless, Hosted PBX, Wi-Fi, Wi-Max, Engineering, Cabling, Wiring and Cloud services. Our telecommunications division has pioneered innovative, hosted firewall and managed MPLS service technologies (SuperCore MPLS) and was the Industry first to engineer patent-pending Bulletproof™ failover services utilizing our own fiber optic and wireless networks to guarantee business continuity and service uptime.
 
As a retail and business media and telecommunications provider operating a high-speed Fiber Optic Network and Wireless Network in the USA at a cost competitive rate for new technologies, we are growing our operations through sales of our core voice & data connectivity products to small and midsized business clients. We have a growth strategy through acquisitions in order to increase regional operations and deploy more technologies to niche & underserved markets. Unified Cloud Services, Unified Communications (UC) or Unified Communications/Collaboration (UCC) has been a topic of interest to users looking to evolve from a disorderly combination of media, voice, email and message communications to something more structured. Our goal is to target existing and new small and medium businesses (“SMBs”) to transition their older voice system businesses, expand their software collaboration offerings, and most recently build cloud service offerings. Cloud solution gives our customers the flexibility to support a myriad of mobile devices as part of their hardware strategy, whether it's launching a bring-your-own-device initiative, implementing a one-to-one program or equipping SMBs with mobile computing carts full of tablets, netbooks, or notebooks in a secured environment.
 
Scalability and Cost Efficiency
 
Our proprietary Software Access System platform currently runs our global operations. In short, it does this by connecting our customer base with the most profitable vendor route while calculating least cost routing, analyzing route quality, and respecting “dipping” protocols. Based on the demand, we have the ability to scale to meet the needs of our customers. Comparable “off the shelf” software systems in the marketplace can cost in the hundreds of thousands of dollars just to purchase, not to mention expensive service contracts, which may continue in perpetuity after the original purchase. Our proprietary platform, in which we have invested and have developed over several years, allows us to operate a global network with better efficiency which we believe differentiates us from other competitors in the marketplace.
 
We believe our competitive advantages are:
 
We believe our ViewMe Live products and services are with six to eighteen months from being ready to launch globally
We offer 3-15 seconds latency Cellular – 1-5 on Wi-Fi
We offer Proprietary Optimizing / Stabilizing software
We offer Multi-Channel LIVE and Video on Demand worldwide
We offer Patent Pending real time dynamic failover solution called Bulletproof™
We offer our own proprietary voice switching and management platform running least cost routing and real time financial analytics
We have over 175 existing USA and International Telephone companies already interconnected to our telecom switches. These customers and vendors are ready made strategic technology distribution partners for our Telecom, Media, and Cloud Services products

Marketing Designs
 
We have designed our services and products offered to be:
 
Portable. We offer the ability to access our network from anywhere within our coverage area without being restricted to a specific location.
 
Simple. Our services are easy to install. After connecting our modem to an ATA or computer and a power source, our wireless broadband service is immediately available and requires no software installation.
 
Fast. We offer speeds that typically exceed legacy cellular networks and are competitive with fixed broadband offerings.
 
A Good Value. We generally price our services competitively because our costs to build and operate our network are significantly lower than the networks operated by many of our competitors.
 
With the popularity of social media, people are demanding fast broadband connectivity on an increasingly mobile basis. We believe that our services meet this demand and will market this in our efforts to increase our subscriber growth rate.

OUR COMPANY STRENGTHS
 
We believe the following competitive strengths enable us to meet the demand for simple, reliable and portable wireless broadband connectivity:
  
First mover. We are the first company we are aware of to launch a Global Cyber Mobile TV and Social Media Network that incorporates functional feature of the largest Digital Media companies in the world. ​
High barriers to entry. Our issued and pending patents, as well as our proprietary Media platforms and Naked Eye 3D technology trade secrets give us a strong intellectual property position that we believe creates a significant barrier to entry for potential competitors. ​
Broad range of applications for our platform. This allows us to build a deep new product pipeline that creates multiple paths to build a large and profitable business.  
Multi-billion-dollar addressable market. U.S. digital advertising revenues rose to $26.2 billion in the third quarter of 2018, solidifying 2018’s claim as the highest-spending first three quarters on record, according to the latest IAB Internet Advertising Revenue Report released today by IAB and prepared by PwC US. Digital spend for Q3 2018 estimates increased 20.6 percent over Q3 2017. In total, marketers spent $75.8 billion during 2018’s first three quarters—22 percent more than they had spent during the same period a year ago. https://iab.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/IAB_Internet-Ad-Revenue-Report-Q3-2018_2019-02-14_FINAL-1.pdf
Diverse revenue streams including Digital Media partnerships. We anticipate generating significant revenue from our Digital Media platforms. Our Linear Broadcast partners will play a large part in generating revenues from the sale of mobile and social media advertising. ​
Strong senior leadership team. Our founders and senior leaders have experience in building and operating several companies in our business areas. We have phone, network, content, SaaS, product development, and commercialization experience that has enabled us to establish market leadership positions for the companies where we previously were employed.  
Differentiated Services. We believe our service is unique because of our combination of our Worldwide Operational Platform, Worldwide Affiliates, Cutting Edge Technology, Portability, Simplicity and Speed to Market with a competitive domestic and International Price Structure. We believe this combination of factors differentiates our subscriber’s experience when compared to broadband services provided by DSL, cable modem, wireless third-generation or 3G, networks. 
Strong Spectrum Position. We use unlicensed and licensed spectrum (in Arizona), which avoids radio frequency interference that hinders competitors using non-licensed spectrum, such as WiFi network operators. Access to spectrum is a fundamental barrier to entry for the delivery of high-quality wireless communications. Through our partnerships, we believe that we have access to the second largest spectrum position in our band within the United States. 
Advanced, Scalable Technology. Because we intend to design our own software and equipment, we can refine our product development roadmap to meet our subscriber’s needs. We believe our NLOS, IP-based Ethernet architecture and compression technology confers competitive advantages since it simplifies both network deployment and customer use while supporting a broad range of potential premium services. 
Efficient Economic Model. We believe our individual market economic model is characterized by low fixed capital and operating expenditures relative to other wireless and wire line broadband service providers. We believe our individual market model is highly scalable and replicable across our markets. As our capabilities evolve, we expect to generate incremental revenue streams from our subscriber base by developing and offering premium products and services. 
Experienced Management Team. Stephen J. Thomas, our Founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer, has been an active entrepreneur, operator and investor in the industry for more than 17 years in VoIP and wireless communications industry. He previously served as Director of Network Optimization/Validation for WorldxChange, Inc. and CEO and President of New Orbit Communications, Inc., which focused on International Operator Services in United States, Mexico, El Salvador and Guatemala.
 
FUTURE and DEVELOPING PLANS
 
TPT MedTech 
 
The point-of-care diagnostics or testing (POCD or POCT) market is projected to reach USD $46.7 billion by 2024 from USD $28.5 billion in 2019, at a CAGR of 10.4%. Factors such as the high prevalence of infectious diseases in developing countries, increasing incidence of target conditions, growing government support, and rising preference for home healthcare across the globe are driving the growth of the market. However, product recalls, a lack of alignment with test results obtained from laboratories, stringent & time-consuming approval policies, and a reluctance to change existing diagnostic practices are expected to restrain market growth. https://www.marketsandmarkets.com/Market-Reports/point-of-care-diagnostic-market-106829185.html
 
 
20
 
 
The global COVID-19 diagnostics market size was valued at USD $5.2 billion in 2020 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.96% from 2021 to 2027. The COVID-19 diagnostic tests are critical in the management of the current pandemic for accurate diagnosis as well as to tackle the spread of the infection. As a result, with the growing demand, these tests are being made available with over 600 SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic tests either approved or in the development phase for clinical use. Therefore, an increase in need for developing diagnostic tests is anticipated to drive the market growth. For efficient and accurate COVID-19 diagnosis, clinicians need a portable or an on-site diagnostic test for real-time management of patients in minimal time. This has encouraged the adoption of Point-of-Care testing (POCT) for diagnosis, primarily aimed at reducing the assay duration from hours to a few minutes. https://www.grandviewresearch.com/industry-analysis/covid-19-diagnostics-market.https://www.marketwatch.com/press-release/covid-19-diagnostics-market-by-development-trends-investigation-2020-and-forecast-to-2027-2020-06-17
 
TPT MedTech believes it is strategically positioned to take advantage of the current trend in POCT by aligning itself with the exponential growth of smart devices equipped with mobile healthcare (mH), which may revolutionize personalized healthcare monitoring and management, thereby paving the way for next-generation POCT.
 
The rapid turnaround times, improved decision times, and time-critical decision-making of TPT MedTech QuikLAB can result in total savings between 8-20% of laboratory costs for facilities that implement POC testing. The savings realized due to the decreased cost of waiting for results can be as much as $260 USD per patient. For those that use and implement POC testing, waiting can improve by as much as 46 minutes per patient real-time scenarios—and days in standard laboratory settings. Management believes TPT MedTech QuikLAB is uniquely positioned to serve this growing market.
 
SANIQuik is a decontamination and sanitizing unit that TPT MedTech intends to co-market with the QuikLAB mobile laboratory as an integrated solution to certain issues arising in the COVID-19 pandemic. SANIQuik uses hypochlorous acid as a spray mist. This chemical has been safely used on many food products for decades. Hypochlorous acid does not cause irritation to eyes and skin. Even if it were ingested it causes no harm. Because it is so safe, it is the ideal sanitizer for direct food sanitation and food contact surfaces. It is also ideal in healthcare where it is used for wound cleansing, eye drops, and patient room disinfection replacing toxic chemicals such as bleach and quaternary ammonium salts. Hypochlorous acid is FDA, USDA, and EPA approved to minimize microbial food safety hazards of fresh-cut fruits and vegetables. (See https://www.hypochlorousacid.com/about.)
 
TPT MedTech believes the SANIQuik external sanitation is safe, effective and flexible for its utilization with options for users. TPT MedTech intends to provide optional masks to users as they approach the SANIQuik. The mask provides a cover around inhalation of the mist. External sanitation is safe and effective, providing an additional routine to hand washing and facial coverings.
 
TPT MedTech has developed a business model which markets SANIQuik as a novel product within the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) industry. This PPE distribution model is focused in the Federal procurement space (Veteran’s Administration, Department of Defense, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Centers for Disease Control, National Guard) as well as vendor to the top 20 National Hospital Group Purchasing Organizations (GPO).
 
TPT MedTech will be requesting Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) from the FDA for SANIQuik during the COVID-19 pandemic, which has been granted to other sanitizing units. SANIQuik already has the European CE mark. For attorney fees and consultants, we are estimating $50,000 for the EUA.
 
TPT MedTech developed its "QuikPASS™" Check and Verify passport system and Covid 19/vaccination monitoring platform for corporations, governmental organizations, schools, airlines, hospitals, sports venues & arenas, restaurants, hotels, and nightclubs. The all-in-one mobile system checks and verifies that an individual has been tested for Covid-19 or vaccinated, providing proof individuals are able to travel or gain access to venues with the idea that everyone inside that venue would be Covid free. The "QuikPASS" "Check and Verify" passport-style platform works with third-party testing labs and organizations that participate on the "QuikPASS" Network and will be offered FREE to US domestic and international business commerce and governmental organizations around the world.
 
Lion Smart Phone Product
 
We are currently seeking a manufacturer for our Lion Smart Phone. Our Management believes our patent pending Lion smart phone is the first Full HD Naked Eye 3D smart phone ever launched in the United States. Lion Universe’s mobile 3D technology is patent pending. The smart phone will be distributed through our wholly-owned subsidiary K-TEL, in their existing brick and mortar distribution channel in the Northwest expanding into other areas. It is anticipated that a national and international roll out will soon follow. TPTW is building industry leading personal cellular phones designed for a wide appeal. With a business model built on innovation and progress starting with the Lion Phone technology, we intend to produce high-quality and easy-to-use cellular phones. Our Lion Phone was designed for consumers looking for portable and affordable cutting-edge technology. Our first-generation phones come equipped with full high definition resolution screen for better viewing. We believe this Full HD Naked Eye 3D smart Phone is perfect for watching movies, playing games, even editing photos or videos.
 
 
21
 
 
Whether that is looking at photos, playing music, emailing or surfing the web, our management believes consumers want more from their phones. We believe our Lion Phone raises the bar for cellular phones. For the first time ever, cellular users can enjoy quality 3D viewing with the naked eyes no glasses required enjoying full high definition video with smooth playback.
 
Our Management believes consumers have been waiting for a way to watch their favorite movies in 3D, with the convenience of their phone and gamers can have the leisure of playing their games without taking head gear with them. Our Lion Universe Technology strives to give customers the best possible experience with our Full HD Naked Eye 3D smart phone in the US and Global markets.
 
We understand the longer we wait the less advantage we might have in our efforts to market this phone as the marketplace moves very quickly. We intend to begin marketing this phone in 2021.
 
Mobile Device Viewer Market Expansion
 
In general, viewers are consuming more content via mobile TV distribution, while rapidly abandoning expensive subscriptions from standard satellite TV and cable networks. The rise of high-quality content on low-cost platforms, such as mobile devices, continues to negatively impact the standard TV industry. The media business is being forced to evolve and adjust to massive disruptions in content distribution methods. Traditional media models are functionally broken and will continue to be disrupted by technology, which is driven by the needs of the younger generation. The future of media is dependent on new technology platforms. These platform models (e.g. smart TV, connected TV boxes, mobile TV devices) are the future of content distribution. Google, through YouTube, has changed the face of video content distribution. Amazon continues to disrupt the book industry. Apple has redefined music and application distribution. And Microsoft is continuing to change the engagement model and distribution of content through its Xbox TV game console.
 
We believe mobile delivery has a growing appeal to advertisers and subscribers. As brands continue to shift budgets to mobile advertising, they must reassess their approach to customer acquisition to ensure they continue to reach potential customers effectively. It is predicted that mobile advertising will account for 30.5% of global advertising expenditure in 2020, up from 19.2% in 2017. Expenditure on mobile advertising will total US$187bn in 2020, more than twice the US$88bn spent on desktop advertising, and just US$5bn behind the US$192bn spent on television advertising. At the current rate of growth, mobile advertising will comfortably overtake television in 2021.
 
As internet users switch from desktop to mobile devices – and new users go straight to mobile – online advertising is making the same switch. Advertising on mobile devices is rising at a meteoric rate and is taking market share from most other media. Mobile ad spend grew 35% in 2017, and we expect it to grow at an average rate of 21% a year to 2020.​ https://www.zenithmedia.com/insights/global-intelligence-issue-06-2018/mobile-share-of-advertising-market-to-exceed-30-in-2020/
 
Content Mining Plan
 
Once our planned SaaS media applications, smart phones and tablets are launched into the domestic and international markets, content analytics or marketing data will be gathered from these devices. The data generated from these applications and devices will give us an advantage insight into our subscribers viewing and buying habits. Once data has been scrubbed of personally identifying information, we plan to be able to create original or lease content from broadcast partners to service what our analytics are telling us to produce (or license), with the intent on moving us closer towards predictive analytics. Predictive analytics is being able to predict what our customer likes based on their viewing habits and then produce that content targeted to our subscriber and then “push” that new (or licensed) content to them.
 
Our ViewMe Live Technology Plan
 
We offer VML technology for which we plan to expand marketing. We believe SaaS ViewMe Live (VML) could become a leading Digital Media Mobile TV technology platform in the business-to-business and business-to-consumer markets. Our proprietary software platform can reach a worldwide audience of approximately one billion mobile viewers. VML addresses global mobile distribution of LIVE and Video on Demand (“VOD”) content as a white label Software as a Service (“SaaS”).
 
 
22
 
 
VML OTT live streaming technology is similar to what you see with satellite TV such as Dish Network and DirecTV, as well as cable companies. Almost all currently existing live streaming cannot do live broadcast streaming at this level and usually has anywhere from 1 minute to 10 minute delays or continuous buffering, never loading the video. With VML, there is the ability to have “worldwide” access for a live streaming event equal to standard television broadcasting with tens of millions of simultaneous users. We believe that VML is the first technology to be able to achieve this level of live streaming. In emerging countries that do not have fiber, cable and satellite TV, access to VML is simple and cost effective, as long as there is a cellular connection on a 3G network or higher (regardless of provider)[1]. VML aims to provide uninterrupted live streaming on mobile devices without buffering, crashes, pixilation, or audio and video syncing issues. One practical application of this technology is that a viewer can move from a Wi--Fi connection to a 3G connection without interruption. VML has a unique user interface with multi-channel access and built-in social media, and we believe it is unlike anything currently on the market. VML also has the capability to do a Live Linear Broadcast with VOD.VML’s technology has the potential to reduce web content pirating since high quality TV broadcast is now easily accessed worldwide on mobile devices.
 
Currently, we believe we are the only company that does all the above in the industry and we believe VML has the potential to expand our technologies and applications even further.
 
The hottest technology in the over the top (“OTT”) market and the biggest challenge in the OTT market is “Live Linear Channel Broadcasting” and “Live Event Broadcasting” to equal standard television broadcasting on cable and satellite TV. This type of technology is superior to video on demand (VOD) streaming technology in both acquisition and delivery. The growth of OTT video delivery has been significant. In the past year alone, OTT has grown to $35 billion in global revenue, with $17 billion coming from emerging markets source Digital TV Research. ViewMe Live (“VML”) has many technology advantages including: Artificial Intelligence (“AI”); the ability to simultaneously access millions of users simultaneously with virtually no latency equivalent to standard television broadcasting; global distribution (without interruption) on cellular and Wi-Fi; and a fully interactive menu user interface and worldwide advertising brokers in place.
 
VML’s content delivery network (“CDN”) can potentially reach tens of millions of mobile devices (tablets and smartphones) and has the potential to scale to one billion video streams globally. It loads content within seconds, not only for Wi-Fi, but also more importantly, on cellular networks that are 3G and higher. VML’s core technology is fully developed and is able to support clients on a turnkey native mobile app in less than 60 days. We have already achieved major milestones as the world’s largest private conduit build out for global deployment of LIVE and VOD streaming content. Our OTT live streaming technology is unique and proprietary. Here are some highlights on how VML can help from telecommunication companies to TV station broadcasters to digital film libraries.
 
VML has the ability to create a “Master Network Mobile App” that can allow for a multiple channel build out, each with its own unique Pay Per View charge (optional). This means a company can have a live event channel per country with a different price per user based on the economics of that country. VML has unlimited channel build out (e.g. a company could have 50 channels or 1000 channels). Any telecommunications company can have professional looking displays and user interfaces for mobile with VML, similar to what the large telecommunications companies provide. A Master Network App also allows a network to expand into other categories by country (e.g. additional sports categories for various sports by country). Expansion can focus on audience aggregation for sports and other forms of entertainment categories. Pay-Per View is an option for these expanded categories as well. We have built-in worldwide ad brokers for pre---roll commercial ads so that revenue can be generated as soon as possible. There is also potential to upsell to existing advertisers and sponsors and it can be brand specific by country.
 
Our differentiation from web streaming
 
We are not a website-based video streaming technology. VML is strictly a native mobile app focused on video streaming technology for mobile platforms. We are not a dashboard-based video content company where users upload content; we are a complete turnkey SaaS application. A survey released in May 2015, sponsored by Level 3 Communications, stated, “Offering both VOD and Live Linear channels will be critical for OTT providers to entice new prospects and gain market share. This trend is a critical one. For existing OTT providers, offering a VOD service may not be enough to maintain, much less grow, market share.” The trend towards adding live linear channel content has the potential to become “table stakes” in the OTT game over the next several years, with both breaking news and live sports content leading the way in terms of interest for OTT service providers adding live linear channels.
 
SaaS White Label
 
We plan to white label our suite of SaaS technologies for yearly licensing and monthly maintenance fees. The prospective user base for the SaaS White Label Suite is extensive as there are more than 200,000 TV broadcasters worldwide alone, and many of them are seeking to migrate to the vast mobile video streaming market space. The sizeable population of potential SaaS clients includes standard television broadcasters in every country, direct marketing companies, low-powered antenna broadcasters (such as universities and churches), IPTV broadcasters, and large content (film and TV) providers that are seeking to further monetize their properties for worldwide syndication.
 
The SaaS suite includes full app development on Apple iOS, Google Android and Roku connected boxes, user interface (menu system), advertising broker network for pre---roll commercial ads (from date of launch), 24/7 LIVE monitoring of inbound and outbound signals, data analytics, seamless updating to all platforms, Amazon web service (AWS) blade servers, and coverage up to the first 20 million streams. The white label product is offered to stand--alone.

User Interface
 
In a preprogrammed live linear broadcast application, viewers have free access via a playlist by category and have the ability to “catch--up” with what they may have missed in the LIVE broadcast, regardless of its original airdate. The video-on-demand (VOD) feature provides the opportunity to access additional viewers and monetize past content. After several years in development, we believe that VML has a significant first to market advantage and that no other companies currently have a comparable commercialized offering.
 
 
 
Our Plan for Strategic Partnering with Telecommunication & Media Companies
 
Currently in the world, viewers usually need to have a contract with a cable provider (e.g. AT&T, Cox, Xfinity, Spectrum, or Cablevision in the U.S.) or satellite TV provider (e.g. DirecTV and DISH Network in the U.S.) and be in range of a residential or business Wi-Fi to be able to watch over the top (OTT) content on a connected TV device, website or mobile access. VML is capable of offering a nearly unlimited number of channels to mobile users virtually anywhere and everywhere, with global reach, far exceeding two U.S. satellite companies (DirecTV and DISH Network), which have 500+ channels each and are only available in the U.S.
 
We believe VML will immediately appeal to any channel that is currently on DirecTV and DISH Network for global mobile linear broadcast participation, simply because these platforms are only available in the U.S. market.
 
VML can provide low--powered TV stations (after found in churches and universities), along with high--powered stations, the ability to reach the entire global market. Other potential users are owners of libraries of digitized content, and LIVE event venues such as music concerts, sporting events, festivals, beauty pageants, summer and winter Olympic Games, award shows, red carpet events, trade shows and conventions. Enthusiasts can produce their own show in any area and could launch their own channels for travel, food, spirits, sports, outdoor recreation, retro TV shows, children, cartoons, comedy, drama, reality, education, automobiles, health, corporations, shopping, soap opera, game shows, dating, religion, etc., providing extensive possibilities for media expansion. Content providers will not be limited by the major TV networks and film studios for distribution rights.
 
We have targeted Telecommunication and Media Company Opportunities to offer:
 
Turn key mobile app for telecommunication and media companies for immediate distribution of TV broadcasts on terrestrial, cable and satellite for free or as subscription.
Turn key mobile app for free or pay per view live events.
Turn key mobile app for digital libraries of content providers.
Reseller program with territorial rights.

Our business is subject to a number of risks of which you should be aware before making an investment decision. These risks are discussed more fully in the “Risk Factors” section of this prospectus immediately following this the summary.
 
Our Corporate Information
 
We are a Florida corporation. Our principal executive offices are located at 501 W. Broadway, Suite 800, San Diego, CA 92101, and our telephone number is (619) 400-4996. Our website address is http://www.tptglobaltech.com. Information on or accessed through our website is not incorporated into this prospectus and is not a part of this prospectus.
 
CYBER RISKS
 
Like other large telecommunications companies, we are a constant target of cyber-attacks of varying degrees, which has caused us to spend increasingly more time and money to deal with increasingly sophisticated attacks. Some of the attacks may result in security breaches, and we periodically notify our customers, our employees or the public of these breaches when necessary or appropriate. None of these resulting security breaches to date have materially adversely affected our business, results of operations or financial condition.
 
We rely on several other communications companies to provide services or products for our offerings. We may lease a significant portion of our core fiber network from our competitors and other third parties. Many of these leases will lapse in future years. Our future ability to provide services on the terms of our current offerings will depend in part upon our ability to renew or replace these leases, agreements and arrangements on terms substantially similar to those currently in effect.
 
For additional information regarding our systems, network, cyber risks, capital expenditure requirements and reliance upon third parties, see "Risk Factors."
 
COMPETITION, COMPETITORS, REGULATION AND TAXATION
 
Competition
 
General
 
We compete in a rapidly evolving and highly competitive market, and we expect intense competition to continue. In addition to competition from larger national telecommunications providers, we are facing increasing competition from several other sources, including cable and satellite companies, wireless providers, technology companies, cloud companies, broadband providers, device providers, resellers, sales agents and facilities-based providers using their own networks as well as those leasing parts of our network. Technological advances and regulatory and legislative changes have increased opportunities for a wide range of alternative communications service providers, which in turn have increased competitive pressures on our business. These alternate providers often face fewer regulations and have lower cost structures than we do. In addition, the communications industry has, in recent years, experienced substantial consolidation, and some of our competitors in one or more lines of our business are generally larger, have stronger brand names, have more financial and business resources and have broader service offerings than we currently do.
 
 
25
 
 
Wireless telephone services are a significant source of competition with our legacy carrier services. It is increasingly common for customers to completely forego use of traditional wireline phone service and instead rely solely on wireless service for voice services. We anticipate this trend will continue, particularly as our older customers are replaced over time with younger customers who are less accustomed to using traditional wireline voice services. Technological and regulatory developments in wireless services, Wi-Fi, and other wired and wireless technologies have contributed to the development of alternatives to traditional landline voice services. Moreover, the growing prevalence of electronic mail, text messaging, social networking and similar digital non-voice communications services continues to reduce the demand for traditional landline voice services. These factors have led to a long-term systemic decline in the number of our wireline voice service customers.
 
The Telecommunications Act of 1996, which obligates carriers to permit competitors to interconnect their facilities to the carrier's network and to take various other steps that are designed to promote competition, imposes several duties on a carrier if it receives a specific request from another entity which seeks to connect with or provide services using the carrier's network. In addition, each carrier is obligated to (i) negotiate interconnection agreements in good faith, (ii) provide nondiscriminatory "unbundled" access to all aspects of the carrier's network, (iii) offer resale of its telecommunications services at wholesale rates and (iv) permit competitors, on terms and conditions (including rates) that are just, reasonable and nondiscriminatory, to colocate their physical plant on the carrier's property, or provide virtual colocation if physical colocation is not practicable. Current FCC rules require carriers to lease a network element only in those situations where competing carriers genuinely would be impaired without access to such network elements, and where the unbundling would not interfere with the development of facilities-based competition.
 
As a result of these regulatory, consumer and technological developments, carriers also face competition from competitive local exchange carriers, or CLECs, particularly in densely populated areas. CLECs provide competing services through reselling a carrier’s local services, through use of a carrier's unbundled network elements or through their own facilities.
 
Technological developments have led to the development of new products and services that have reduced the demand for our traditional services, as noted above, or that compete with traditional carrier services. Technological improvements have enabled cable television companies to provide traditional circuit-switched telephone service over their cable networks, and several national cable companies have aggressively marketed these services. Similarly, companies providing VoIP services provide voice communication services over the Internet which compete with our traditional telephone service and our own VoIP services. In addition, demand for our broadband services could be adversely affected by advanced wireless data transmission technologies being deployed by wireless providers and by certain technologies permitting cable companies and other competitors to deliver faster average broadband transmission speeds than ours.
 
Similar to us, many cable, technology or other communications companies that previously offered a limited range of services are now offering diversified bundles of services, either through their own networks, reselling arrangements or joint ventures. As such, a growing number of companies are competing to serve the communications needs of the same customer base. Such activities will continue to place downward pressure on the demand for and pricing of our services.
 
As customers increasingly demand high-speed connections for entertainment, communications and productivity, we expect the demands on our network will continue to increase over the next several years. To succeed, we must continue to invest in our networks or engage partners to ensure that they can deliver competitive services that meet these increasing bandwidth and speed requirements. In addition, network reliability and security are increasingly important competitive factors in our business.
 
Additional information about competitive pressures is located under the heading “Risk Factors.”
 
Competitors
 
In connection with providing strategic services to our business customers, which includes our small, medium and enterprise business, wholesale and governmental customers, we compete against other telecommunication providers, as well as other regional and national carriers, other data transport providers, cable companies, CLECs and other enterprises, some of whom are substantially larger than us. Competition is based on price, bandwidth, quality and speed of service, promotions and bundled offerings. In providing broadband services, we compete primarily with cable companies, wireless providers, technology companies and other broadband service providers. We face competition in Ethernet based services in the wholesale market from cable companies and fiber-based providers. In regards to our medical division, we compete with other medical testing facilities and other companies developing SaaS technologies to test and monitor medical testing activities.
 
Our competitors for providing integrated data, broadband, voice services and other data and SaaS services to our business customers range from small to mid-sized businesses. Due to the size of some of these companies, our competitors may be able to offer more inexpensive solutions to our customers. To compete, we focus on providing sophisticated, secure and performance-driven services to our business customers through our infrastructure.
 
 
26
 
 
The number of companies providing business services has grown and increased competition for these services, particularly with respect to smaller business customers. Many of our competitors for strategic services are not subject to the same regulatory requirements as we are and therefore they are able to avoid significant regulatory costs and obligations.
 
Government Regulation
 
Overview
 
As discussed further below, our operations are subject to significant local, state, federal and foreign laws and regulations.
 
We are subject to the significant regulations by the FCC, which regulates interstate communications, and state utility commissions, which regulate intrastate communications. These agencies (i) issue rules to protect consumers and promote competition, (ii) set the rates that telecommunication companies charge each other for exchanging traffic, and (iii) have traditionally developed and administered support programs designed to subsidize the provision of services to high-cost rural areas. In most states, local voice service, switched and special access services and interconnection services are subject to price regulation, although the extent of regulation varies by type of service and geographic region. In addition, we are required to maintain licenses with the FCC and with state utility commissions. Laws and regulations in many states restrict the manner in which a licensed entity can interact with affiliates, transfer assets, issue debt and engage in other business activities. Many acquisitions and divestitures may require approval by the FCC and some state commissions. These agencies typically have the authority to withhold their approval, or to request or impose substantial conditions upon the transacting parties in connection with granting their approvals.
 
The following description discusses some of the major industry regulations that may affect our traditional operations, but numerous other regulations not discussed below could also impact us. Some legislation and regulations are currently the subject of judicial, legislative and administrative proceedings which could substantially change the manner in which the telecommunications industry operates and the amount of revenues we receive for our services.
 
Neither the outcome of these proceedings, nor their potential impact on us, can be predicted at this time. For additional information, see "Risk Factors."
 
The laws and regulations governing our affairs are quite complex and occasionally in conflict with each other. From time to time, we are fined for failing to meet applicable regulations or service requirements.
 
Federal Regulation
 
General
 
We are required to comply with the Communications Act of 1934. Among other things, this law requires our local exchange carriers to offer various of our legacy services at just and reasonable rates and on non-discriminatory terms. The Telecommunications Act of 1996 materially amended the Communications Act of 1934, primarily to promote competition.
 
The FCC regulates interstate services we provide, including the special access charges we bill for wholesale network transmission and the interstate access charges that we bill to long-distance companies and other communications companies in connection with the origination and termination of interstate phone calls. Additionally, the FCC regulates a number of aspects of our business related to privacy, homeland security and network infrastructure, including our access to and use of local telephone numbers and our provision of emergency 911 services. The FCC has responsibility for maintaining and administering support programs designed to expand nationwide access to communications services (which are described further below), as well as other programs supporting service to low-income households, schools and libraries, and rural health care providers. Changes in the composition of the five members of the FCC or its Chairman can have significant impacts on the regulation of our business.
 
In recent years, our operations and those of other telecommunications carriers have been further impacted by legislation and regulation imposing additional obligations on us, particularly with regards to providing voice and broadband service, bolstering homeland security, increasing disaster recovery requirements, minimizing environmental impacts and enhancing privacy. These laws include the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act, and laws governing local telephone number portability and customer proprietary network information requirements. In addition, the FCC has heightened its focus on the reliability of emergency 911 services. The FCC has imposed fines on us and other companies for 911 outages and has adopted new compliance requirements for providing 911 service. We are incurring capital and operating expenses designed to comply with the FCC's new requirements and minimize future outages. All of these laws and regulations may cause us to incur additional costs and could impact our ability to compete effectively against companies not subject to the same regulations.
 
 
27
 
 
Over the past several years, the FCC has taken various actions and initiated certain proceedings designed to comprehensively evaluate the proper regulation of the provisions of data services to businesses. As part of its evaluation, the FCC has reviewed the rates, terms and conditions under which these services are provided. The FCC's proceedings remain pending, and their ultimate impact on us is currently unknown.
 
We are also regulated for our medical services activities. See discussion below.
 
Telephony Services
 
We operate traditional telecommunications services in our Arizona subsidiary, and those services are largely governed under rules established for CLECs under the Communications Act. The Communications Act entitles our CLEC subsidiary to certain rights, but as telecommunications carriers, it also subjects them to regulation by the FCC and the states. Their designation as telecommunications carriers also results in other regulations that may affect them and the services they offer.
 
Interconnection and Intercarrier Compensation 
 
The Communications Act requires telecommunications carriers to interconnect directly or indirectly with other telecommunications carriers. Under the FCC's intercarrier compensation rules, we are entitled, in some cases, to compensation from carriers when they use our network to terminate or originate calls and in other cases are required to compensate another carrier for using its network to originate or terminate traffic. The FCC and state regulatory commissions, including those in the states in which we operate, have adopted limits on the amounts of compensation that may be charged for certain types of traffic. As noted above, the FCC has determined that intercarrier compensation for all terminating traffic will be phased down over several years to a "bill-and-keep" regime, with no compensation between carriers for most terminating traffic by 2018 and is considering further reform that could reduce or eliminate compensation for originating traffic as well.
 
Universal Service
 
Our CLEC subsidiary is required to contribute to the Universal Service Fund (“USF”). The amount of universal service contribution required of us is based on a percentage of revenues earned from interstate and international services provided to end users. We allocate our end user revenues and remit payments to the universal service fund in accordance with FCC rules. The FCC has ruled that states may impose state universal service fees on CLEC telecommunications services.
 
State Regulation
 
Our CLEC subsidiary telecommunications services are subject to regulation by state commissions in each state where we provide services. In order to provide our services, we must seek approval from the state regulatory commission or be registered to provide services in each state where we operate and may at times require local approval to construct facilities. Regulatory obligations vary from state to state and include some or all of the following requirements: filing tariffs (rates, terms and conditions); filing operational, financial, and customer service reports; seeking approval to transfer the assets or capital stock of the broadband communications company; seeking approval to issue stocks, bonds and other forms of indebtedness of the broadband communications company; reporting customer service and quality of service requirements; outage reporting; making contributions to state universal service support programs; paying regulatory and state Telecommunications Relay Service and E911 fees; geographic build-out; and other matters relating to competition.
 
Other Regulations 
 
Our CLEC subsidiary telecommunications services are subject to other FCC requirements, including protecting the use and disclosure of customer proprietary network information; meeting certain notice requirements in the event of service termination; compliance with disabilities access requirements; compliance with CALEA standards; outage reporting; and the payment of fees to fund local number portability administration and the North American Numbering Plan. As noted above, the FCC and states are examining whether new requirements are necessary to improve the resiliency of communications networks. Communications with our customers are also subject to FCC, FTC and state regulations on telemarketing and the sending of unsolicited commercial e-mail and fax messages, as well as additional privacy and data security requirements.
 
Broadband
 
Regulatory Classification.    Broadband Internet access services were traditionally classified by the FCC as "information services" for regulatory purposes, a type of service that is subject to a lesser degree of regulation than "telecommunications services." In 2015, the FCC reversed this determination and classified broadband Internet access services as "telecommunications services." This reclassification has subjected our broadband Internet access service to greater regulation, although the FCC did not apply all telecommunications service obligations to broadband Internet access service. The 2015 Order could have a material adverse impact on our business as it may justify additional FCC regulation or support efforts by States to justify additional regulation of broadband Internet access services. In December 2017, the FCC adopted an order that in large part reverses the 2015 Order and reestablishes the "information service" classification for broadband Internet access service. The 2017 Order has not yet gone into effect, however, and the 2015 Order will remain binding until the 2017 Order takes effect. The 2017 Order is expected to be subject to legal challenge that may delay its effect or overturn it.
 
 
28
 
 
Net Neutrality, and Current Status. The 2015 Order also established a new "Open Internet" framework that expanded disclosure requirements on Internet service providers ("ISPs") such as cable companies, prohibited blocking, throttling, and paid prioritization of Internet traffic on the basis of the content, and imposed a "general conduct standard" that prohibits unreasonable interference with the ability of end users and edge providers to reach each other. The FCC's 2017 Order eliminates these rules except for certain disclosure requirements (see the official release summary from the FCC below). Additionally, Congress and some states are considering legislation that may codify "network neutrality" rules.
 
The Federal Communications Commission has made the following official release about the Restoring Internet Freedom Order:
 
"The FCC's Restoring Internet Freedom Order, which took effect on June 11, (2018) provides a framework for protecting an open Internet while paving the way for better, faster and cheaper Internet access for consumers. It replaces unnecessary, heavy-handed regulations that were developed way back in 1934 with strong consumer protections, increased transparency, and common-sense rules that will promote investment and broadband deployment. The FCC's framework for protecting Internet freedom has the following key parts:
 
1. Consumer Protection 
The Federal Trade Commission will police and take action against Internet service providers for anticompetitive acts or unfair and deceptive practices. The FTC is the nation's premier consumer protection agency, and until the FCC stripped it of jurisdiction over Internet service providers in 2015, the FTC protected consumers consistently across the Internet economy.
 
2. Transparency 
A critical part of Internet openness involves Internet service providers being transparent about their business practices. That's why the FCC has imposed enhanced transparency requirements. Internet service providers must publicly disclose information regarding their network management practices, performance, and commercial terms of service. These disclosures must be made via a publicly available, easily accessible company website or through the FCC's website. This will discourage harmful practices and help regulators target any problematic conduct. These disclosures also support innovation, investment, and competition by ensuring that entrepreneurs and other small businesses have the technical information necessary to create and maintain online content, applications, services, and devices.
 
Internet Service Providers must clearly disclose their network management practices on their own web sites or with the FCC. For more information about these disclosures, you can visit https://www.fcc.gov/isp- disclosures.
 
Removes Unnecessary Regulations to Promote Broadband Investment 
 
The Internet wasn't broken in 2015, when the previous FCC imposed 1930s-era regulations (known as "Title II") on Internet service providers. And ironically, these regulations made things worse by limiting investment in high-speed networks and slowing broadband deployment. Under Title II, broadband network investment dropped more than 5.6% -- the first time a decline has happened outside of a recession. The effect was particularly serious for smaller Internet service providers (fixed wireless companies, small-town cable operators, municipal broadband providers, electric cooperatives, and others) that don't have the resources or lawyers to navigate a thicket of complex rules  "
 
The items listed in this internet Order are for carriers such as Century Link, which is our contract internet provider, and we are in compliance with the areas that we are responsible for which are few. We generate the last mile of internet service but we are actually a reseller of Century Link services as they provide the bandwidth to us.
 
        Access for Persons with Disabilities.    The FCC's rules require us to ensure that persons with disabilities have access to "advanced communications services" ("ACS"), such as electronic messaging and interoperable video conferencing. They also require that certain pay television programming delivered via Internet Protocol include closed captioning and require entities distributing such programming to end users to pass through such captions and identify programming that should be captioned.
 
        Other Regulation.    The 2015 Order also subjected broadband providers' Internet traffic exchange rates and practices to potential FCC oversight and created a mechanism for third parties to file complaints regarding these matters. In addition, our provision of Internet services also subjects us to the limitations on use and disclosure of user communications and records contained in the Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986. Broadband Internet access service is also subject to other federal and state privacy laws applicable to electronic communications.
 
 
29
 
 
        Additionally, providers of broadband Internet access services must comply with CALEA, which requires providers to make their services and facilities accessible for law enforcement intercept requests. Various other federal and state laws apply to providers of services that are accessible through broadband Internet access service, including copyright laws, telemarketing laws, prohibitions on obscenity, and a ban on unsolicited commercial e-mail, and privacy and data security laws. Online content we provide is also subject to some of these laws.
 
        Other forms of regulation of broadband Internet access service currently being considered by the FCC, Congress or state legislatures include consumer protection requirements, cyber security requirements, consumer service standards, requirements to contribute to universal service programs and requirements to protect personally identifiable customer data from theft. Pending and future legislation in this area could adversely affect our operations as an Internet service provider and our relationship with our Internet customers.
 
        Additionally, from time to time the FCC and Congress have considered whether to subject broadband Internet access services to the federal Universal Service Fund ("USF") contribution requirements. Any contribution requirements adopted for Internet access services would impose significant new costs on our broadband Internet service. At the same time, the FCC is changing the manner in which Universal Service funds are distributed. By focusing on broadband and wireless deployment, rather than traditional telephone service, the changes could assist some of our competitors in more effectively competing with our service offerings.
 
VoIP Services
 
        We provide telephony services using VoIP technology ("interconnected VoIP"). The FCC has adopted several regulations for interconnected VoIP services, as have several states, especially as it relates to core customer and safety issues such as e911, local number portability, disability access, outage reporting, universal service contributions, and regulatory reporting requirements. The FCC has not, however, formally classified interconnected VoIP services as either information services or telecommunications services. In this vacuum, some states have asserted more expansive rights to regulate interconnected VoIP services, while others have adopted laws that bar the state commission from regulating VoIP service.
 
        Universal Service.    Interconnected VoIP services must contribute to the USF used to subsidize communication services provided to low income households, to customers in rural and high cost areas, and to schools, libraries, and rural health care providers. The amount of universal service contribution required of interconnected VoIP service providers is based on a percentage of revenues earned from interstate and international services provided to end users. We allocate our end user revenues and remit payments to the universal service fund in accordance with FCC rules. The FCC has ruled that states may impose state universal service fees on interconnected VoIP providers.
  
      Local Number Portability.    The FCC requires interconnected VoIP service providers and their "numbering partners" to ensure that their customers have the ability to port their telephone numbers when changing providers. We also contribute to federal funds to meet the shared costs of local number portability and the costs of North American Numbering Plan Administration.
 
        Intercarrier Compensation.    In an October 2011 reform order and subsequent clarifying orders, the FCC revised the regime governing payments among providers of telephony services for the exchange of calls between and among different networks ("intercarrier compensation") to, among other things, explicitly include interconnected VoIP. In that Order, the FCC determined that intercarrier compensation for all terminating traffic, including VoIP traffic exchanged in TDM format, will be phased down over several years to a "bill-and-keep" regime, with no compensation between carriers for most terminating traffic by 2018. The FCC is considering further reform in this area, which could reduce or eliminate compensation for originating traffic as well.
 
        Other Regulation.    Interconnected VoIP service providers are required to provide enhanced 911 emergency services to their customers; protect customer proprietary network information from unauthorized disclosure to third parties; report to the FCC on service outages; comply with telemarketing regulations and other privacy and data security requirements; comply with disabilities access requirements and service discontinuance obligations; comply with call signaling requirements; and comply with CALEA standards. In August 2015, the FCC adopted new rules to improve the resiliency of the communications network. Under the new rules, providers of telephony services, including interconnected VoIP service providers, must make available eight hours of standby backup power for consumers to purchase at the point of sale. The rules also require that providers inform new and current customers about service limitations during power outages and steps that consumers can take to address those risks.

Medical Division
 
The Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) regulates all of our mobile laboratory testing activities performed on humans in the United States through Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (‘CLIA’) which covers approximately 260,000 laboratory entities. We obtain CLIA licenses where necessary to operate our mobile laboratories. We also hire staffing agencies that work the health care industry with the appropriate health care workers to operate the mobile laboratories, which agencies and workers are regulated by state and local agencies like the agency for Health Care Administration in Florida (“AHCA”). Each state and local jurisdiction has their own agency or regulatory organization that we follow and adhere to their laws and guidelines in relation operating our mobile testing facilities.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
 
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
THIS DOCUMENT INCLUDES FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, STATEMENTS RELATING TO TPT GLOBAL’S PLANS, STRATEGIES, OBJECTIVES, EXPECTATIONS, INTENTIONS AND ADEQUACY OF RESOURCES. THESE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS INVOLVE KNOWN AND UNKNOWN RISKS, UNCERTAINTIES, AND OTHER FACTORS THAT MAY CAUSE OUR COMPANY’S ACTUAL RESULTS, PERFORMANCE OR ACHIEVEMENTS TO BE MATERIALLY DIFFERENT FROM ANY FUTURE RESULTS, PERFORMANCE OR ACHIEVEMENTS EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED BY THE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. THESE FACTORS INCLUDE, AMONG OTHERS, THE FOLLOWING: OUR ABILITY OF TO IMPLEMENT OUR BUSINESS STRATEGY; ABILITY TO OBTAIN ADDITIONAL FINANCING; TPT GLOBAL’S LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY; UNKNOWN LIABILITIES ASSOCIATED WITH FUTURE ACQUISITIONS; ABILITY TO MANAGE GROWTH; SIGNIFICANT COMPETITION; ABILITY TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN TALENTED EMPLOYEES; AND FUTURE GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS; AND OTHER FACTORS DESCRIBED IN THIS FILING OR IN OTHER OF TPT GLOBAL’S FILINGS WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION. TPT GLOBAL IS UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO PUBLICLY UPDATE OR REVISE ANY FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS, WHETHER AS A RESULT OF NEW INFORMATION, FUTURE EVENTS OR OTHERWISE. 
  
RISK FACTORS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
 
Many of our competitors are better established and have resources significantly greater than we have, which may make it difficult to attract and retain subscribers.
 
We will compete with other providers of telephony service, many of which have substantially greater financial, technical and marketing resources, larger customer bases, longer operating histories, greater name recognition and more established relationships in the industry. In addition, a number of these competitors may combine or form strategic partnerships. As a result, our competitors may be able to offer, or bring to market earlier, products and services that are superior to our own in terms of features, quality, pricing or other factors. Our failure to compete successfully with any of these companies would have a material adverse effect on our business and the trading price of our common stock.
 
The market for broadband and VoIP services is highly competitive, and we compete with several other companies within a single market:
 
 
 
 
cable operators offering high-speed Internet connectivity services and voice communications;
 
incumbent and competitive local exchange carriers providing DSL services over their existing wide, metropolitan and local area networks;
 
3G cellular, PCS and other wireless providers offering wireless broadband services and capabilities, including developments in existing cellular and PCS technology that may increase network speeds or have other advantages over our services;
 
internet service providers offering dial-up Internet connectivity;
 
municipalities and other entities operating free or subsidized WiFi networks;
 
providers of VoIP telephony services;
 
wireless Internet service providers using licensed or unlicensed spectrum;
 
satellite and fixed wireless service providers offering or developing broadband Internet connectivity and VoIP telephony;
 
electric utilities and other providers offering or planning to offer broadband Internet connectivity over power lines; and
 
resellers providing wireless Internet service by “piggy-backing” on DSL or WiFi networks operated by others.
         
Moreover, we expect other existing and prospective competitors, particularly if our services are successful; to adopt technologies or business plans similar to ours or seek other means to develop a product competitive with our services. Many of our competitors are well-established and have larger and better developed networks and systems, longer-standing relationships with customers and suppliers, greater name recognition and greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we have. These competitors can often subsidize competing services with revenues from other sources, such as advertising, and thus may offer their products and services at lower prices than ours. These or other competitors may also reduce the prices of their services significantly or may offer broadband connectivity packaged with other products or services. We may not be able to reduce our prices or otherwise alter our services correspondingly, which would make it more difficult to attract and retain subscribers.
 
 
32
 
 
Our Acquisitions could result in operating difficulties, dilution and distractions from our core business.
 
We have evaluated, and expect to continue to evaluate, potential strategic transactions, including larger acquisitions. The process of acquiring and integrating a company, business or technology is risky, may require a disproportionate amount of our management or financial resources and may create unforeseen operating difficulties or expenditures, including:
 
 
difficulties in integrating acquired technologies and operations into our business while maintaining uniform standards, controls, policies and procedures;
 
increasing cost and complexity of assuring the implementation and maintenance of adequate internal control and disclosure controls and procedures, and of obtaining the reports and attestations that are required of a company filing reports under the Securities Exchange Act;
 
difficulties in consolidating and preparing our financial statements due to poor accounting records, weak financial controls and, in some cases, procedures at acquired entities based on accounting principles not generally accepted in the United States, particularly those entities in which we lack control; and
 
the inability to predict or anticipate market developments and capital commitments relating to the acquired company, business or technology.
         
Acquisitions of and joint ventures with companies organized outside the United States often involve additional risks, including:
 
 
 
 
difficulties, as a result of distance, language or culture differences, in developing, staffing and managing foreign operations;
 
lack of control over our joint ventures and other business relationships;
 
currency exchange rate fluctuations;
 
longer payment cycles;
 
credit risk and higher levels of payment fraud;
 
foreign exchange controls that might limit our control over, or prevent us from repatriating, cash generated outside the United States;
 
potentially adverse tax consequences;
 
expropriation or nationalization of assets;
 
differences in regulatory requirements that may make it difficult to offer all of our services;
 
unexpected changes in regulatory requirements;
 
trade barriers and import and export restrictions; and
 
political or social unrest and economic instability.
      
The anticipated benefit of any of our acquisitions or investments may never materialize. Future investments, acquisitions or dispositions could result in potentially dilutive issuances of our equity securities, the incurrence of debt, contingent liabilities or amortization expenses, or write-offs of goodwill, any of which could harm our financial condition. Future investments and acquisitions may require us to obtain additional equity or debt financing, which may not be available on favorable terms, or at all.
 
Our substantial indebtedness and our current default status and any restrictive debt covenants could limit our financing options and liquidity position and may limit our ability to grow our business.
 
Our indebtedness could have important consequences to the holders of our common stock, such as:
 
 
 
 
we may not be able to obtain additional financing to fund working capital, operating losses, capital expenditures or acquisitions on terms acceptable to us or at all;
 
we may be unable to refinance our indebtedness on terms acceptable to us or at all;
 
if substantial indebtedness continues it could make us more vulnerable to economic downturns and limit our ability to withstand competitive pressures; and
 
cash flows from operations are currently negative and may continue to be so, and our remaining cash, if any, may be insufficient to operate our business.
 
paying dividends to our stockholders;

As of December 31, 2020, the total debt or financing arrangements was $16,345,705, of which approximately $7,934,617 or 24% of total current liabilities is past due. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had financing lease liability-related amounts of $839,572. During the fourth quarter of 2020, the related party holders of approximately $4,700,000 of existing financing arrangements agreed to exchange their debt and accrued interest for Series D Preferred Stock through a separate $12 Million Private Placement, conditioned on the Company raising at least $12,000,000 in a separate Form 1-A Offering. Our inability to renegotiate our indebtedness may cause lien holders to obtain possession of a good portion of our assets which would significantly alter our ability to generate revenues and obtain any additional financing.
 
We may experience difficulties in constructing, upgrading and maintaining our network, which could adversely affect customer satisfaction, increase subscriber turnover and reduce our revenues.
 
Our success depends on developing and providing products and services that give subscribers a high-quality internet connectivity and VoIP experience. If the number of subscribers using our network and the complexity of our products and services increase, we will require more infrastructure and network resources to maintain the quality of our services. Consequently, we expect to make substantial investments to construct and improve our facilities and equipment and to upgrade our technology and network infrastructure. If we do not implement these developments successfully, or if we experience inefficiencies, operational failures or unforeseen costs during implementation, the quality of our products and services could decline.
 
We may experience quality deficiencies, cost overruns and delays on construction, maintenance and upgrade projects, including the portions of those projects not within our control or the control of our contractors. The construction of our network requires the receipt of permits and approvals from numerous governmental bodies, including municipalities and zoning boards. Such bodies often limit the expansion of transmission towers and other construction necessary for our business. Failure to receive approvals in a timely fashion can delay system rollouts and raise the cost of completing construction projects. In addition, we typically are required to obtain rights from land, building and tower owners to install our antennas and other equipment to provide service to our subscribers. We may not be able to obtain, on terms acceptable to us, or at all, the rights necessary to construct our network and expand our services.
 
We also face challenges in managing and operating our network. These challenges include operating, maintaining and upgrading network and customer premises equipment to accommodate increased traffic or technological advances, and managing the sales, advertising, customer support, billing and collection functions of our business while providing reliable network service at expected speeds and VoIP telephony at expected levels of quality. Our failure in any of these areas could adversely affect customer satisfaction, increase subscriber turnover, increase our costs, decrease our revenues and otherwise have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
 
If we do not obtain and maintain rights to use licensed spectrum in one or more markets, we may be unable to operate in these markets, which could adversely affect our ability to execute our business strategy.
 
Even though we have established license agreements, growth requires that we plan to provide our services obtaining additional licensed spectrum both in the United States and internationally, we depend on our ability to acquire and maintain sufficient rights to use licensed spectrum by obtaining our own licenses or long-term spectrum leases, in each of the markets in which we operate or intend to operate. Licensing is the short-term solution to obtaining the necessary spectrum as building out spectrum is a long and difficult process that can be costly and require a disproportionate amount of our management resources. We may not be able to acquire, lease or maintain the spectrum necessary to execute our business strategy.    
 
Using licensed spectrum, whether owned or leased, poses additional risks to us, including:
 
 
inability to satisfy build-out or service deployment requirements upon which our spectrum licenses or leases are, or may be, conditioned;
 
increases in spectrum acquisition costs;
 
adverse changes to regulations governing our spectrum rights;
 
the risk that spectrum we have acquired or leased will not be commercially usable or free of harmful interference from licensed or unlicensed operators in our or adjacent bands;
 
with respect to spectrum we will lease in the United States, contractual disputes with or the bankruptcy or other reorganization of the license holders, which could adversely affect our control over the spectrum subject to such license;
 
failure of the FCC or other regulators to renew our spectrum licenses as they expire; and
 
invalidation of our authorization to use all or a significant portion of our spectrum, resulting in, among other things, impairment charges related to assets recorded for such spectrum.
    
 
34
 
 
If we fail to establish and maintain an effective system of internal control, we may not be able to report our financial results accurately or to prevent fraud. Any inability to report and file our financial results accurately and timely could harm our business and adversely impact the trading price of our common stock.
 
Effective internal control is necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, we may not be able to manage our business as effectively as we would if an effective control environment existed, and our business, brand and reputation with investors may be harmed.
 
In addition, reporting a material weakness may negatively impact investors’ perception of us. We have allocated, and will continue to allocate, significant additional resources to remedy any deficiencies in our internal control. There can be no assurances that our remedial measures will be successful in curing the any material weakness or that other significant deficiencies or material weaknesses will not arise in the future.
 
Interruption or failure of our information technology and communications systems could impair our ability to provide our products and services, which could damage our reputation and harm our operating results.
 
We have experienced service interruptions in some markets in the past and may experience service interruptions or system failures in the future. Any unscheduled service interruption adversely affects our ability to operate our business and could result in an immediate loss of revenues. If we experience frequent or persistent system or network failures, our reputation and brand could be permanently harmed. We may make significant capital expenditures to increase the reliability of our systems, but these capital expenditures may not achieve the results we expect.
 
Our products and services depend on the continuing operation of our information technology and communications systems. Any damage to or failure of our systems could result in interruptions in our service. Interruptions in our service could reduce our revenues and profits, and our brand could be damaged if people believe our network is unreliable. Our systems are vulnerable to damage or interruption from earthquakes, terrorist attacks, floods, fires, power loss, telecommunications failures, computer viruses, computer denial of service attacks or other attempts to harm our systems, and similar events. Some of our systems are not fully redundant, and our disaster recovery planning may not be adequate. The occurrence of a natural disaster or unanticipated problems at our network centers could result in lengthy interruptions in our service and adversely affect our operating results.
 
The industries in which we operate are continually evolving, which makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and increases the risk of your investment. Our products and services may become obsolete, and we may not be able to develop competitive products or services on a timely basis or at all.
     
The markets in which we and our customers compete are characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards and communications protocols, and continuous improvements in products and services. Our future success depends on our ability to enhance current products and to develop and introduce in a timely manner new products that keep pace with technological developments, industry standards and communications protocols, compete effectively on the basis of price, performance and quality, adequately address end-user customer requirements and achieve market acceptance. There can be no assurance that the deployment of wireless networks will not be delayed or that our products will achieve widespread market acceptance or be capable of providing service at competitive prices in sufficient volumes. In the event that our products are not timely and economically developed or do not gain widespread market acceptance, our business, results of operations and financial condition would be materially adversely affected. There can also be no assurance that our products will not be rendered obsolete by the introduction and acceptance of new communications protocols.
 
The broadband services industry is characterized by rapid technological change, competitive pricing, frequent new service introductions and evolving industry standards and regulatory requirements. We believe that our success depends on our ability to anticipate and adapt to these challenges and to offer competitive services on a timely basis. We face a number of difficulties and uncertainties associated with our reliance on technological development, such as:
 
 
competition from service providers using more traditional and commercially proven means to deliver similar or alternative services;
 
competition from new service providers using more efficient, less expensive technologies, including products not yet invented or developed;
 
uncertain consumer acceptance;
 
realizing economies of scale;
 
responding successfully to advances in competing technologies in a timely and cost-effective manner;
 
migration toward standards-based technology, requiring substantial capital expenditures; and
 
existing, proposed or undeveloped technologies that may render our wireless broadband and VoIP telephony services less profitable or obsolete.
 
 
35
 
 
As the products and services offered by us and our competitors develop, businesses and consumers may not accept our services as a commercially viable alternative to other means of delivering wireless broadband and VoIP telephony services.
 
If we are unable to successfully develop and market additional services and/or new generations of our services offerings or market our services and product offerings to a broad number of customers, we may not remain competitive.
 
Our future success and our ability to increase net revenue and earnings depend, in part, on our ability to develop and market new additional services and/or new generations of our current services offerings and market our existing services offerings to a broad number of customers. However, we may not be able to, among other things:
 
 
successfully develop or market new services or product offerings or enhance existing services offerings;
 
educate third-party sales organizations adequately for them to promote and sell our services offerings;
 
develop, market and distribute existing and future services offerings in a cost-effective manner; or
 
operate the facilities needed to provide our services offerings.
 
If we fail to develop new service offerings, or if we incur unexpected expenses or delays in product development or integration, we may lose our competitive position and incur substantial additional expenses or may be required to curtail or terminate all or part of our present planned business operations.
 
Our failure to do any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, if any of our current or future services offerings contain undetected errors or design defects or do not work as expected for our customers, our ability to market these services offerings could be substantially impeded, resulting in lost sales, potential reputation damage and delays in obtaining market acceptance of these services offerings. We cannot assure you that we will continue to successfully develop and market new or enhanced applications for our services offerings. If we do not continue to expand our services offerings portfolio on a timely basis or if those products and applications do not receive market acceptance, become regulatory restricted, or become obsolete, we will not grow our business as currently expected.
 
We operate in a very competitive environment.
 
There are three types of competitors for our service offerings.
 
 
(1)
The value-added resellers and other vendors of hardware and software for on-site installation do not typically have an offering similar to our cloud-based services. However, they are the primary historic service suppliers to our targeted customers and will actively work to defend their customer base.
 
 
(2)
There are a number of providers offering services, but they typically offer only one or two applications of their choosing instead of our offering which bundles customer’s chosen services.
 
 
(3)
There are a few providers that offer more than two applications from the cloud. However currently, these providers typically offer only those applications they have chosen.
 
Our industry is characterized by rapid change resulting from technological advances and new services offerings. Certain competitors have substantially greater capital resources, larger customer bases, larger sales forces, greater marketing and management resources, larger research and development staffs and larger facilities than our and have more established reputations with our target customers, as well as distribution channels that are entrenched and may be more effective than ours. Competitors may develop and offer technologies and products that are more effective, have better features, are easier to use, are less expensive and/or are more readily accepted by the marketplace than our offerings. Their products could make our technology and service offerings obsolete or noncompetitive. Competitors may also be able to achieve more efficient operations and distribution than ours may be able to and may offer lower prices than we could offer profitably. We may decide to alter or discontinue aspects of our business and may adopt different strategies due to business or competitive factors or factors currently unforeseen, such as the introduction by competitors of new products or services technologies that would make part or all of our service offerings obsolete or uncompetitive.
 
 
36
 
 
In addition, the industry could experience some consolidation. There is also a risk that larger companies will enter our markets.
 
If we fail to maintain effective relationships with our major vendors, our services offerings and profitability could suffer.
 
We use third party providers for services. In addition, we purchase hardware, software and services from external suppliers. Accordingly, we must maintain effective relationships with our vendor base to source our needs, maintain continuity of supply, and achieve reasonable costs. If we fail to maintain effective relationships with our vendor base, this may adversely affect our ability to deliver the best products and services to our customers and our profitability could suffer.
 
Any failure of the physical or electronic security that resulted in unauthorized parties gaining access to customer data could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
We use commercial data networks to service customers cloud based services and the associated customer data. Any data is subject to the risk of physical or electronic intrusion by unauthorized parties. We have a multi-homed firewalls and Intrusion Detection / Prevention systems to protect against electronic intrusion and two physical security levels in our networks. Our policy is to close all external ports as a default. Robust anti-virus software runs on all client servers. Systems have automated monitoring and alerting for unusual activity. We also have a Security Officer who monitors these systems. We have better security systems and expertise than our clients can afford separately but any failure of these systems could adversely affect our business growth and financial condition.
 
Demand for our service offerings may decrease if new government regulations substantially increase costs, limit delivery or change the use of Internet access and other products on which our service offerings depend.
 
We are dependent on Internet access to deliver our service offerings. If new regulations are imposed that limit the use of the Internet or impose significant taxes on services delivered via the Internet it could change our cost structure and/or affect our business model. The significant changes in regulatory costs or new limitations on Internet use could impact our ability to operate as we anticipate, could damage our reputation with our customers, disrupt our business or result in, among other things, decreased net revenue and increased overhead costs. As a result, any such failure could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
Our securities, as offered hereby, are highly speculative and should be purchased only by persons who can afford to lose their entire investment in us. Each prospective investor should carefully consider the following risk factors, as well as all other information set forth elsewhere in this prospectus, before purchasing any of the shares of our common stock.
 
Increasing regulation of our Internet-based products and services could adversely affect our ability to provide new products and services.
 
On February 26, 2015, the FCC adopted a new "network neutrality" or Open Internet order (the "2015 Order") that: (1) reclassified broadband Internet access service as a Title II common carrier service, (2) applied certain existing Title II provisions and associated regulations; (3) forbore from applying a range of other existing Title II provisions and associated regulations, but to varying degrees indicated that this forbearance may be only temporary and (4) issued new rules expanding disclosure requirements and prohibiting blocking, throttling, paid prioritization and unreasonable interference with the ability of end users and edge providers to reach each other. The 2015 Order also subjected broadband providers' Internet traffic exchange rates and practices to potential FCC oversight and created a mechanism for third parties to file complaints regarding these matters. The 2015 Order could limit our ability to efficiently manage our cable systems and respond to operational and competitive challenges. In December 2017, the FCC adopted an order (the "2017 Order") that in large part reverses the 2015 Order. The 2017 Order has not yet gone into effect, however, and the 2015 Order will remain binding until the 2017 Order takes effect. The 2017 Order is expected to be subject to legal challenge that may delay its effect or overturn it. Additionally, Congress and some states are considering legislation that may codify "network neutrality" rules.
 
Offering telephone services may subject us to additional regulatory burdens, causing us to incur additional costs.
 
We offer telephone services over our broadband network and continue to develop and deploy interconnected VoIP services. The FCC has ruled that competitive telephone companies that support VoIP services, such as those that we offer to our customers, are entitled to interconnect with incumbent providers of traditional telecommunications services, which ensures that our VoIP services can operate in the market. However, the scope of these interconnection rights are being reviewed in a current FCC proceeding, which may affect our ability to compete in the provision of telephony services or result in additional costs. It remains unclear precisely to what extent federal and state regulators will subject VoIP services to traditional telephone service regulation. Expanding our offering of these services may require us to obtain certain authorizations, including federal and state licenses. We may not be able to obtain such authorizations in a timely manner, or conditions could be imposed upon such licenses or authorizations that may not be favorable to us. The FCC has already extended certain traditional telecommunications requirements, such as E911 capabilities, Universal Service Fund contribution, Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act ("CALEA"), measures to protect Customer Proprietary Network Information, customer privacy, disability access, number porting, battery back-up, network outage reporting, rural call completion reporting and other regulatory requirements to many VoIP providers such as us. If additional telecommunications regulations are applied to our VoIP service, it could cause us to incur additional costs and may otherwise materially adversely impact our operations. In 2011, the FCC released an order significantly changing the rules governing intercarrier compensation for the origination and termination of telephone traffic between interconnected carriers. These rules have resulted in a substantial decrease in interstate compensation payments over a multi-year period. The FCC is currently considering additional reforms that could further reduce interstate compensation payments. Further, although the FCC recently declined to impose additional regulatory burdens on certain point to point transport ("special access") services provided by cable companies, that FCC decision has been appealed by multiple parties. If those appeals are successfully, there could be additional regulatory burdens and additional costs placed on these services.
 
 
37
 
 
We may engage in acquisitions and other strategic transactions and the integration of such acquisitions and other strategic transactions could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
Our business has grown significantly as a result of acquisitions, including the Acquisitions, which entail numerous risks including:
 
distraction of our management team in identifying potential acquisition targets, conducting due diligence and negotiating acquisition agreements; 
difficulties in integrating the operations, personnel, products, technologies and systems of acquired businesses; 
difficulties in enhancing our customer support resources to adequately service our existing customers and the customers of acquired businesses; 
the potential loss of key employees or customers of the acquired businesses; 
unanticipated liabilities or contingencies of acquired businesses; 
unbudgeted costs which we may incur in connection with pursuing potential acquisitions which are not consummated; 
failure to achieve projected cost savings or cash flow from acquired businesses, which are based on projections that are inherently uncertain; 
fluctuations in our operating results caused by incurring considerable expenses to acquire and integrate businesses before receiving the anticipated revenues expected to result from the acquisitions; and 
difficulties in obtaining regulatory approvals required to consummate acquisitions.
 
We also participate in competitive bidding processes, some of which may involve significant cable systems. If we are the winning bidder in any such process involving significant cable systems or we otherwise engage in acquisitions or other strategic transactions in the future, we may incur additional debt, contingent liabilities and amortization expenses, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We could also issue substantial additional equity which could dilute existing stockholders.
 
If our acquisitions, including the Acquisitions and the integration of the Optimum and Suddenlink businesses, do not result in the anticipated operating efficiencies, are not effectively integrated, or result in costs which exceed our expectations, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
 
Significant unanticipated increases in the use of bandwidth-intensive Internet-based services could increase our costs.
 
The rising popularity of bandwidth-intensive Internet-based services poses risks for our broadband services. Examples of such services include peer-to-peer file sharing services, gaming services and the delivery of video via streaming technology and by download. If heavy usage of bandwidth-intensive broadband services grows beyond our current expectations, we may need to incur more expenses than currently anticipated to expand the bandwidth capacity of our systems or our customers could have a suboptimal experience when using our broadband service. In order to continue to provide quality service at attractive prices, we need the continued flexibility to develop and refine business models that respond to changing consumer uses and demands and to manage bandwidth usage efficiently. Our ability to undertake such actions could be restricted by regulatory and legislative efforts to impose so-called "net neutrality" requirements on broadband communication providers like us that provide broadband services. For more information, see "Regulation—Broadband."
 
We operate in a highly competitive business environment which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.
 
We operate in a highly competitive, consumer-driven industry and we compete against a variety of broadband, pay television and telephony providers and delivery systems, including broadband communications companies, wireless data and telephony providers, satellite-delivered video signals, Internet-delivered video content and broadcast television signals available to residential and business customers in our service areas. Some of our competitors include AT&T and its DirecTV subsidiary, CenturyLink, DISH Network, Frontier and Verizon. In addition, our pay television services compete with all other sources of leisure, news, information and entertainment, including movies, sporting or other live events, radio broadcasts, home-video services, console games, print media and the Internet.
        
 
38
 
 
In some instances, our competitors have fewer regulatory burdens, easier access to financing, greater resources, greater operating capabilities and efficiencies of scale, stronger brand-name recognition, longstanding relationships with regulatory authorities and customers, more subscribers, more flexibility to offer promotional packages at prices lower than ours and greater access to programming or other services. This competition creates pressure on our pricing and has adversely affected, and may continue to affect, our ability to add and retain customers, which in turn adversely affects our business, financial condition and results of operations. The effects of competition may also adversely affect our liquidity and ability to service our debt. For example, we face intense competition from Verizon and AT&T, which have network infrastructure throughout our service areas. We estimate that competitors are currently able to sell a fiber-based triple play, including broadband, pay television and telephony services, and may expand these and other service offerings to our potential customers.
       
Our competitive risks are heightened by the rapid technological change inherent in our business, evolving consumer preferences and the need to acquire, develop and adopt new technology to differentiate our products and services from those of our competitors, and to meet consumer demand. We may need to anticipate far in advance which technology we should use for the development of new products and services or the enhancement of existing products and services. The failure to accurately anticipate such changes may adversely affect our ability to attract and retain customers, which in turn could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Consolidation and cooperation in our industry may allow our competitors to acquire service capabilities or offer products that are not available to us or offer similar products and services at prices lower than ours. For example, Comcast and Charter Communications have agreed to jointly explore operational efficiencies to speed their respective entries into the wireless market, including in the areas of creating common operating platforms and emerging wireless technology platforms. In addition, changes in the regulatory and legislative environments may result in changes to the competitive landscape.
 
In addition, certain of our competitors own directly or are affiliated with companies that own programming content or have exclusive arrangements with content providers that may enable them to obtain lower programming costs or offer exclusive programming that may be attractive to prospective subscribers. For example, DirecTV has exclusive arrangements with the National Football League that give it access to programming we cannot offer. AT&T also has an agreement to acquire Time Warner, which owns a number of cable networks, including TBS, CNN and HBO, as well as Warner Bros. Entertainment, which produces television, film and home-video content. AT&T's and DirecTV's potential access to Time Warner programming could allow AT&T and DirecTV to offer competitive and promotional packages that could negatively affect our ability to maintain or increase our existing customers and revenues. DBS operators such as DISH Network and DirecTV also have marketing arrangements with certain phone companies in which the DBS provider's pay television services are sold together with the phone company's broadband and mobile and traditional phone services.
 
Most broadband communications companies, which already have wired networks, an existing customer base and other operational functions in place (such as billing and service personnel), offer DSL services. We believe DSL service competes with our broadband service and is often offered at prices lower than our Internet services. However, DSL is often offered at speeds lower than the speeds we offer. In addition, DSL providers may currently be in a better position to offer Internet services to businesses since their networks tend to be more complete in commercial areas. They may also increasingly have the ability to combine video services with telephone and Internet services offered to their customers, particularly as broadband communications companies enter into co-marketing agreements with other service providers. In addition, current and future fixed and wireless Internet services, such as 3G, 4G and 5G fixed and wireless broadband services and Wi-Fi networks, and devices such as wireless data cards, tablets and smartphones, and mobile wireless routers that connect to such devices, may compete with our broadband services.
 
Our telephony services compete directly with established broadband communications companies and other carriers, including wireless providers, as increasing numbers of homes are replacing their traditional telephone service with wireless telephone service. We also compete against VoIP providers like Vonage, Skype, GoogleTalk, Facetime, WhatsApp and magicJack that do not own networks but can provide service to any person with a broadband connection, in some cases free of charge. In addition, we compete against ILECs, other CLECs and long-distance voice-service companies for large commercial and enterprise customers. While we compete with the ILECs, we also enter into interconnection agreements with ILECs so that our customers can make and receive calls to and from customers served by the ILECs and other telecommunications providers. Federal and state law and regulations require ILECs to enter into such agreements and provide facilities and services necessary for connection, at prices subject to regulation. The specific price, terms and conditions of each agreement, however, depend on the outcome of negotiations between us and each ILEC. Interconnection agreements are also subject to approval by the state regulatory commissions, which may arbitrate negotiation impasses. These agreements, like all interconnection agreements, are for limited terms and upon expiration are subject to renegotiation, potential arbitration and approval under the laws in effect at that time.
 
We also face competition for our advertising sales from traditional and non-traditional media outlets, including television and radio stations, traditional print media and the Internet.
 
 
39
 
 
We face significant risks as a result of rapid changes in technology, consumer expectations and behavior.
 
The broadband communications industry has undergone significant technological development over time and these changes continue to affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Such changes have had, and will continue to have, a profound impact on consumer expectations and behavior. Our video business faces technological change risks as a result of the continuing development of new and changing methods for delivery of programming content such as Internet-based delivery of movies, shows and other content which can be viewed on televisions, wireless devices and other developing mobile devices. Consumers' video consumption patterns are also evolving, for example, with more content being downloaded for time-shifted consumption. A proliferation of delivery systems for video content can adversely affect our ability to attract and retain subscribers and the demand for our services and it can also decrease advertising demand on our delivery systems. Our broadband business faces technological challenges from rapidly evolving wireless Internet solutions. Our telephony service offerings face technological developments in the proliferation of telephony delivery systems including those based on Internet and wireless delivery. If we do not develop or acquire and successfully implement new technologies, we will limit our ability to compete effectively for subscribers, content and advertising. We cannot provide any assurance that we will realize, in full or in part, the anticipated benefits we expect from the introduction of new technologies, or that any new technologies will be rolled out across our footprint in the timeframe we anticipate. In addition, we may be required to make material capital and other investments to anticipate and to keep up with technological change. These challenges could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
Our revenues and growth may be constrained due to demand exceeding capacity of our systems or our inability to develop solutions.
 
We anticipate generating revenues in the future from broadband connectivity, other Internet services, and broadband and in the cloud services. Demand and market acceptance for these recently introduced services and products delivered over the Internet is uncertain. Critical issues concerning the use of the Internet, such as ease of access, security, reliability, cost and quality of service, exist and may affect the growth of Internet use or the attractiveness of conducting commerce online. In addition, the Internet and online services may not be accepted as viable for a number of reasons, including potentially inadequate development of the necessary network infrastructure or delayed development of enabling technologies and performance improvements. To the extent that the Internet and online services continue to experience significant growth, there can be no assurance that the infrastructure of the Internet and online services will prove adequate to support increased user demands. In addition, the Internet or online services could lose their viability due to delays in the development or adoption of new standards and protocols required to handle increased levels of Internet or online service activity. Changes in, or insufficient availability of, telecommunications services to support the Internet or online services also could result in slower response times and adversely affect usage of the Internet and online services generally and us in particular. If use of the Internet and online services does not continue to grow or grows more slowly than expected, if the infrastructure for the Internet and online services does not effectively support growth that may occur, or if the Internet and online services do not become a viable commercial marketplace, our business could be adversely affected.
 
Certain aspects of our VoIP telephony services differ from traditional telephone service. The factors that may have this effect include:
 
 
 
 
our subscribers may experience lower call quality than they experience with traditional wireline telephone companies, including static, echoes and transmission delays;
 
our subscribers may experience higher dropped-call rates than they experience with traditional wireline telephone companies; and
 
a power loss or Internet access interruption causes our service to be interrupted.
         
Additionally, our VoIP emergency calling service is significantly more limited than the emergency calling services offered by traditional telephone companies. Our VoIP emergency calling service can only transmit to a dispatcher at a public safety answering point, or PSAP, the location information that the subscriber has registered with us, which may at times be different from the actual location at the time of the call. As a result, our emergency calling systems may not assure that the appropriate PSAP is reached and may cause significant delays, or even failures, in callers’ receipt of emergency assistance. Our failure to develop or operate an adequate emergency calling service could subject us to substantial liabilities and may result in delays in subscriber adoption of our VoIP telephony services or all of our services, abandonment of our services by subscribers, and litigation costs, damage awards and negative publicity, any of which could harm our business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.
 
If our subscribers do not accept the differences between our VoIP telephony services and traditional telephone service, they may not adopt or keep our VoIP telephony services or our other services, or may choose to retain or return to service provided by traditional telephone companies. Because VoIP telephony services represent an important aspect of our business strategy, failure to achieve subscribers’ acceptance of our VoIP telephony services may adversely affect our prospects, results of operations and the trading price of our shares.

We rely on contract manufacturers and a limited number of third-party suppliers to produce our network equipment and to maintain our network sites. If these companies fail to perform, we may have a shortage of components and may be required to suspend our network deployment and our product and service introduction.
 
We depend on contract manufacturers, to produce and deliver acceptable, high quality products on a timely basis. We also depend on a limited number of third parties to maintain our network facilities. If our contract manufacturer or other providers do not satisfy our requirements, or if we lose our contract manufacturers or any other significant provider, we may have an insufficient network services for delivery to subscribers, we may be forced to suspend portions of our wireless broadband network, enrollment of new subscribers, and product sales and our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results may be harmed.
 
We rely on highly skilled executives and other personnel. If we cannot retain and motivate key personnel, we may be unable to implement our business strategy.
 
We will be highly dependent on the scientific, technical, and managerial skills of certain key employees, including technical, research and development, sales, marketing, financial and executive personnel, and on our ability to identify, hire and retain additional personnel. To accommodate our current size and manage our anticipated growth, we must expand our employee base. Competition for key personnel, particularly persons having technical expertise, is intense, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to retain existing personnel or to identify or hire additional personnel. The need for such personnel is particularly important given the strains on our existing infrastructure and the need to anticipate the demands of future growth. In particular, we are highly dependent on the continued services of our senior management team, which currently is composed of a small number of individuals. We do not maintain key-man life insurance on the life of any employee. The inability of us to attract, hire or retain the necessary technical, sales, marketing, financial and executive personnel, or the loss of the services of any member of our senior management team, could have a material adverse effect on us.
 
Our future success depends largely on the expertise and reputation of our founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Stephen J. Thomas, Richard Eberhardt, and the other members of our senior management team. In addition, we intend to hire additional highly skilled individuals to staff our operations. Loss of any of our key personnel or the inability to recruit and retain qualified individuals could adversely affect our ability to implement our business strategy and operate our business.
 
We are currently managed by a small number of key management and operating personnel. Our future success depends, in part, on our ability to recruit and retain qualified personnel. Failure to do so likely would have an adverse impact on our business and the trading price of our common stock.
 
If our data security measures are breached, subscribers may perceive our network and services as not secure.
 
Our network security and the authentication of the subscriber’s credentials are designed to protect unauthorized access to data on our network. Because techniques used to obtain unauthorized access to or to sabotage networks change frequently and may not be recognized until launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate or implement adequate preventive measures against unauthorized access or sabotage. Consequently, unauthorized parties may overcome our encryption and security systems and obtain access to data on our network, including on a device connected to our network. In addition, because we operate and control our network and our subscribers’ Internet connectivity, unauthorized access or sabotage of our network could result in damage to our network and to the computers or other devices used by our subscribers. An actual or perceived breach of network security, regardless of whether the breach is our fault, could harm public perception of the effectiveness of our security measures, adversely affect our ability to attract and retain subscribers, expose us to significant liability and adversely affect our business prospects.
 
Our activities outside the United States could disrupt our operations.
       
We intend to invest in various international companies and spectrum opportunities through acquisitions and strategic alliances as these opportunities arise. Our activities outside the United States operate in environments different from the one we face in the United States, particularly with respect to competition and regulation. Due to these differences, our activities outside the United States may require a disproportionate amount of our management and financial resources, which could disrupt our U.S. operations and adversely affect our business.
 
In a number of international markets, we face substantial competition from local service providers that offer or may offer their own wireless broadband or VoIP telephony services and from other companies that provide Internet connectivity services. We may face heightened challenges in gaining market share, particularly in certain European countries, where a large portion of the population already has broadband Internet connectivity and incumbent companies already have a dominant market share in their service areas. Furthermore, foreign providers of competing services may have a substantial advantage over us in attracting subscribers due to a more established brand, greater knowledge of local subscribers’ preferences and access to significant financial or strategic resources.
 
In addition, foreign regulatory authorities frequently own or control the incumbent telecommunications companies operating under their jurisdiction. Established relationships between government-owned or government-controlled telecommunications companies and their traditional local providers of telecommunications services often limit access of third parties to these markets. The successful expansion of our international operations in some markets will depend on our ability to locate, form and maintain strong relationships with established local communication services and equipment providers. Failure to establish these relationships or to market or sell our products and services successfully could limit our ability to attract subscribers to our services.

We may be unable to protect our intellectual property, which could reduce the value of our services and our brand.
 
Our ability to compete effectively depends on our ability to protect our proprietary technologies, system designs and manufacturing processes. We may not be able to safeguard and maintain our proprietary rights. We rely on patents, trademarks and policies and procedures related to confidentiality to protect our intellectual property. Some of our intellectual property, however, is not covered by any of these protections.
 
We could be subject to claims that we have infringed on the proprietary rights of others, which claims would likely be costly to defend, could require us to pay damages and could limit our ability to use necessary technologies in the future.
 
Our competitors may independently develop or patent technologies or processes that are substantially equivalent or superior to ours. These competitors may claim that our services and products infringe on these patents or other proprietary rights. Defending against infringement claims, even merit less ones, would be time consuming, distracting and costly. If we are found to be infringing proprietary rights of a third party, we could be enjoined from using such third party’s rights and be required to pay substantial royalties and damages and may no longer be able to use the intellectual property on acceptable terms or at all. Failure to obtain licenses to intellectual property could delay or prevent the development, manufacture or sale of our products or services and could cause us to expend significant resources to develop or acquire non-infringing intellectual property.
 
Our business depends on our brand, and if we do not maintain and enhance our brand, our ability to attract and retain subscribers may be impaired and our business and operating results harmed.
 
We believe that our brand is a critical part of our business. Maintaining and enhancing our brand may require us to make substantial investments with no assurance that these investments will be successful. If we fail to promote and maintain our brands, or if we incur significant expenses in this effort, our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition may be harmed. We anticipate that maintaining and enhancing our brand will become increasingly important, difficult and expensive.
 
We are subject to extensive regulation.
    
Our acquisition, lease, maintenance and use of spectrum licenses are extensively regulated by federal, state, local, and foreign governmental entities. A number of other federal, state, local and foreign privacy, security and consumer laws also apply to our business. These regulations and their application are subject to continual change as new legislation, regulations or amendments to existing regulations are adopted from time to time by governmental or regulatory authorities, including as a result of judicial interpretations of such laws and regulations. Current regulations directly affect the breadth of services we are able to offer and may impact the rates, terms and conditions of our services. Regulation of companies that offer competing services, such as cable and DSL providers and incumbent telecommunications carriers, also affects our business indirectly.
 
We are also subject to regulation because we provide VoIP telephony services. As an “interconnected” VoIP provider, we are required under FCC rules, to comply with the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act, or CALEA, which requires service providers to build certain capabilities into their networks and to accommodate wiretap requests from law enforcement agencies.
 
In addition, the FCC or other regulatory authorities may in the future restrict our ability to manage subscribers’ use of our network, thereby limiting our ability to prevent or address subscribers’ excessive bandwidth demands. To maintain the quality of our network and user experience, we manage the bandwidth used by our subscribers’ applications, in part by restricting the types of applications that may be used over our network. Some providers and users of these applications have objected to this practice. If the FCC or other regulatory authorities were to adopt regulations that constrain our ability to employ bandwidth management practices, excessive use of bandwidth-intensive applications would likely reduce the quality of our services for all subscribers. Such decline in the quality of our services could harm our business.
 
In certain of our international markets, the services provided by our business may require receipt of a license from national, provincial or local regulatory authorities. Where required, regulatory authorities may have significant discretion in granting the licenses and in the term of the licenses and are often under no obligation to renew the licenses when they expire.
 
The breach of a license or applicable law, even if inadvertent, can result in the revocation, suspension, cancellation or reduction in the term of a license or the imposition of fines. In addition, regulatory authorities may grant new licenses to third parties, resulting in greater competition in territories where we already have rights to licensed spectrum. In order to promote competition, licenses may also require that third parties be granted access to our bandwidth, frequency capacity, facilities or services. We may not be able to obtain or retain any required license, and we may not be able to renew a license on favorable terms, or at all.
 
 
42
 
 
Our wireless broadband and VoIP telephony services may become subject to greater state or federal regulation in the future. The scope of the regulations that may apply to VoIP telephony services providers and the impact of such regulations on providers’ competitive position are presently unknown.
 
Our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is also our largest stockholder, and as a result he can exert control over us and has actual or potential interests that may diverge from yours.
 
Mr. Thomas may have interests that diverge from those of other holders of our common stock and he owns our super majority voting Series A stock. As a result, Mr. Thomas may vote the shares he owns or otherwise cause us to take actions that may conflict with your best interests as a stockholder, which could adversely affect our results of operations and the trading price of our common stock.
 
Through his control, Mr. Thomas can control our management, affairs and all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the approval of significant corporate transactions, a sale of our company, decisions about our capital structure and, the composition of our board of directors.
 
COVID-19 effects on the economy may negatively affect our Company business.
 
In December 2019, COVID-19 emerged and has subsequently spread worldwide. The World Health Organization has declared COVID-19 a pandemic resulting in federal, state and local governments and private entities mandating various restrictions, including travel restrictions, restrictions on public gatherings, stay at home orders and advisories and quarantining of people who may have been exposed to the virus.
 
As the COVID-19 pandemic is complex and rapidly evolving, the Company's business may be negatively affected for a sustained time frame. At this point, we cannot reasonably estimate the duration and severity of this pandemic, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
 
Our officers and directors may have conflicts of interests as to corporate opportunities which we may not be able or allowed to participate in.
 
Presently there is no requirement contained in our Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, or minutes which requires officers and directors of our business to disclose to us business opportunities which come to their attention. Our officers and directors do, however, have a fiduciary duty of loyalty to us to disclose to us any business opportunities which come to their attention, in their capacity as an officer and/or director or otherwise. Excluded from this duty would be opportunities which the person learns about through his involvement as an officer and director of another company. We have no intention of merging with or acquiring business opportunity from any affiliate or officer or director.
 
We have agreed to indemnification of officers and directors as is provided by Florida Statutes.
 
Florida Statutes provide for the indemnification of our directors, officers, employees, and agents, under certain circumstances, against attorney’s fees and other expenses incurred by them in any litigation to which they become a party arising from their association with or activities our behalf. We will also bear the expenses of such litigation for any of our directors, officers, employees, or agents, upon such person’s promise to repay us therefore if it is ultimately determined that any such person shall not have been entitled to indemnification. This indemnification policy could result in substantial expenditures by us that we will be unable to recoup.
 
Our directors’ liability to us and shareholders is limited.
 
Florida Statutes exclude personal liability of our directors and our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty except in certain specified circumstances. Accordingly, we will have a much more limited right of action against our directors that otherwise would be the case. This provision does not affect the liability of any director under federal or applicable state securities laws.
 
We may not be able to successfully implement our business strategy without substantial additional capital. Any such failure may adversely affect the business and results of operations.
 
Unless we can generate revenues sufficient to implement our Business Plan, we will need to obtain additional financing through debt or bank financing, or through the sale of shareholder interests to execute our Business Plan. We expect to need at least $38,000,000 in the next twelve months in capital or loans to complete our plans and operations. We may not be able to obtain this financing at all. We have not sought commitments for this financing, and we have no terms for either debt or equity financing, and we realize that it may be difficult to obtain on favorable terms. Moreover, if we issue additional equity securities to support our operations, Investor holdings may be diluted. Our business plans are at risk if we cannot continually achieve additional capital raising to complete our plans.
 
 
43
 
 
We are reliant, in part, on third party sales organizations, which may not perform as we expect.
 
We, from time to time rely on the sales force of third-party sales organizations with support from our own selling resources. The third-party relationships and internal organization are not fully developed at this time and must be developed. We may not be able to hire effective inside salespeople to help our third-party sales organizations close sales. There is no assurance that any approaches will improve sales. Further, using only a direct sales force would be less cost-effective than our plan to use third-party sales organizations. In addition, a direct sales model may be ineffective if we were unable to hire and retain qualified sales people and if the sales force fails to complete sales. Moreover, even if we successfully implement our business strategy, we may not have positive operating results. We may decide to alter or discontinue aspects of our business strategy and may adopt different strategies due to business or competitive factors.
 
Our growth may be affected adversely if our sales of products and services are negatively affected by competition or other factors.
 
The growth of our business is dependent, in large part, upon the development of sales for our services and product offerings. Market opportunities that we expect to exist may not develop as expected, or at all. For example, a substantial percentage of our service offerings is oriented around data access. If lower cost alternatives are developed, our sales would decrease and our operating results would be negatively affected. Moreover, even if market opportunities develop as expected, new technologies and services offerings introduced by competitors may significantly limit our ability to capitalize on any such market opportunity. Our failure to capitalize on expected market opportunities would adversely affect revenue growth.
 
The lack of operating history and the rapidly changing nature of the market in which we compete make it difficult to accurately forecast revenues and operating results. We anticipate that revenues and operating results might fluctuate in the future due to a number of factors including the following:
 
            
●            
the timing of sales for current services and products offerings
 
            
●            
the timing of new product implementations
 
            
●            
unexpected delays in introducing new services and products offerings
 
            
●            
increased expense related to sales and marketing, product development or administration
 
            
●            
the mix of products and our services offerings
 
            
●            
costs related to possible acquisitions of technology or business.
 
            
●            
costs of providing services
 
We may be unable to compete with larger, more established competitors.
 
The market for providing network delivered service solutions is competitive. We expect competition to intensify in the future. Many of our potential competitors have longer operating histories, larger customer bases, greater recognition and significantly greater resources. As a result, competitors may be able to respond more quickly to emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements than we can. The continuous and timely introduction of competitively priced services offerings into the market is critical to our success, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to introduce such services offerings. We may not be able to compete successfully against competitors, and the competitive pressures we face may have an adverse effect on our business.
 
RISK FACTORS RELATED TO OUR STOCK
 
We can give no assurance of success or profitability to our investors.
 
Cash flows generated from operating activities were not enough to support all working capital requirements for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. Financing activities described below have helped with working capital and other capital requirements. We incurred $8,119,268 and $14,028,165, respectively, in losses, and we used $489,573 and $328,251, respectively, in cash for operations for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. Net cash flows from financing activities generated primarily from proceeds from notes, loans and advances, net of payments for loans, advances and factoring agreements, were $817,608 and $1,390,538 for the same periods, while cash flows used in investing activities for primarily acquisitions of property and equipment or business acquisitions were $500,898 and $901,901, respectively. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
 
44
 
 
In December 2019, COVID-19 emerged and has subsequently spread worldwide. The World Health Organization has declared COVID-19 a pandemic resulting in federal, state and local governments and private entities mandating various restrictions, including travel restrictions, restrictions on public gatherings, stay at home orders and advisories and quarantining of people who may have been exposed to the virus. After close monitoring and responses and guidance from federal, state and local governments, in an effort to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, around March 18, 2020 for an indefinite period of time, the Company closed its Blue Collar office in Los Angeles, California and its TPT SpeedConnect offices in Michigan, Idaho and Arizona.  Most employees are working remotely, however this is not possible with certain employees and all subcontractors that work for Blue Collar. The Company continues to monitor developments, including government requirements and recommendations at the national, state, and local level to evaluate possible extensions to all or part of such closures.
 
The Company has taken advantage of the stimulus offerings and received $722,200 in April 2020 and $680,500 in February 2021 and believes it has used these funds as is prescribed by the stimulus offerings to have the entire amounts forgiven. The Company has applied for forgiveness of the original stimulus of $722,200. The forgiveness process for stimulus funded in February 2021 has not begun. The Company will try and take advantage of additional stimulus as it is available and is also in the process of trying to raise debt and equity financing, some of which may have to be used for working capital shortfalls if revenues continue to decline because of the COVID-19 closures. 
 
As the COVID-19 pandemic is complex and rapidly evolving, the Company's plans as described above may change. At this point, we cannot reasonably estimate the duration and severity of this pandemic, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
 
In order for us to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements, we will need to obtain additional debt or equity financing and look for companies with cash flow positive operations that we can acquire. There can be no assurance that we will be able to secure additional debt or equity financing, that we will be able to acquire cash flow positive operations, or that, if we are successful in any of those actions, those actions will produce adequate cash flow to enable us to meet all our future obligations. Most of our existing financing arrangements are short-term. If we are unable to obtain additional debt or equity financing, we may be required to significantly reduce or cease operations.
 
Sales of common stock resulting from issuances of common stock for conversions by our convertible noteholders or Rule 144 sales in the future will have a depressive effect on our common stock price.
 
Most of our convertible noteholders have rights to convert their notes at significant discounts to the market prices as shown in the schedule below, for sale under the requirements of Rule 144 or other applicable exemptions from registration under the Act and perhaps under registration statements which the company is preparing to file in the next thirty days. Rule 144 provides in essence that a person who has held restricted securities for six months or is deemed to have held them due to the issuance by the Company of convertible notes under certain conditions, may sell those shares in brokerage transactions. There is no limit on the amount of restricted securities that may be sold by a non-affiliate after the owner has held the restricted securities for a period of six months. A sale under Rule 144 or under any other exemption from the Act, if available, or pursuant to subsequent registration of shares of common stock of present stockholders underlying the convertible notes, will have a depressive effect upon the price of the common stock in the market, since they are issued at a discount to market-often 50-60% of the lowest bid for differing periods, and sales can be expected at some discounted prices, with larger than normal volumes. We have also issued preferred stock and options and warrants that allow for the purchase of shares at significant discounts to the market prices, often 50% of the ten-day low bids, or other highly discounted rates, which would allow the holders of those warrants to sell shares into the market at a profit over their discounted price, which could have the effect of depressing the price of the shares in the market.
 
As of December 31, 2020, we had the following convertible promissory notes, preferred stock and options and warrants outstanding that are convertible into common shares as follows:
 
 
 
2020
 
Convertible Promissory Notes (2)(3)
  175,316,748 
Series A Preferred Stock (1)
  1,243,987,624 
Series B Preferred Stock
  2,588,693 
Stock Options and Warrants
  4,333,333 
 
  1,426,226,398 
____________________
(1)
Holder of the Series A Preferred Stock which is Stephen J. Thomas, is guaranteed 60% of outstanding common stock upon conversion, including shares already owned. The Company would have to authorize additional shares for this to occur as only 1,000,000,000 shares are currently authorized.
 
(2)
The conversion features of the various convertible debt provide for conversion to common stock at discounts from the market prices which will have, and has had, a seriously dilutive effect on stock amounts and the prices reflected in the market.
(3)
There are $678,500 of convertible promissory notes that convert into 5,194,070 shares of Series C Preferred Stock that then convert into common shares at $0.15 share.

During the fourth quarter of 2020, the related party holders of approximately $4,700,000 of existing financing arrangements agreed to exchange their debt and accrued interest for Series D Preferred Stock through a separate $12 Million Private Placement, conditioned on the Company raising at least $12,000,000 in a separate Form 1-A Offering. This would equate into approximately 940,800 shares of Series D Preferred Stock.
 
Part of the consideration in the acquisition of Aire Fitness was the issuance of 500,000 restricted common shares of the Company vesting and issuable after the common stock reaches at least a $1.00 per share closing price in trading. To date, this has not occurred but may happen in the future upon which the Company will issue 500,000 common shares to the non-controlling interest owners of Aire Fitness.

During the year ended December 31, 2018, we entered into consulting arrangements primarily for legal work and general business support that included the issuance of stock options to purchase 3,000,000 options to purchase common shares at $0.10 per share. 2,000,000 of these expired. The remaining 1,000,000 are fully vested as of December 31, 2020.
 
On October 14, 2017, the Board of Directors and majority stockholders of TPT approved the 2017 TPT Global Tech, Inc. Stock Option and Award Incentive Plan (“the 2017 Plan.”) There are 20,000,000 shares of our common stock reserved under the 2017 Plan.
 
Warrants
 
As of December 31, 2020, there were 3,333,333 warrants outstanding that expire in five years or in the year ended December 31, 2024. As part of the Convertible Promissory Notes payable – third party issuance in Note 5, the Company issued 3,333,333 warrants to purchase 3,333,333 common shares of the Company at 70% of the current market price. Current market price means the average of the three lowest trading prices for our common stock during the ten-trading day period ending on the latest complete trading day prior to the date of the respective exercise notice.
 
The exercise of the options, warrants, convertible promissory notes and Series A and B Series Preferred Stock into shares of our common stock could have a dilutive effect to the holdings of our existing shareholders.
 
We may in the future issue more shares which could cause a loss of control by our present management and current stockholders.
 
We may issue further shares as consideration for the cash or assets or services out of our authorized but unissued common stock that would, upon issuance, represent a majority of the voting power and equity of our Company. The result of such an issuance would be those new stockholders and management would control our Company, and persons unknown could replace our management at this time. Such an occurrence would result in a greatly reduced percentage of ownership of our Company by our current shareholders, which could present significant risks to investors.
 
Our officers and directors may have conflicts of interests as to corporate opportunities which we may not be able or allowed to participate in.
 
Presently there is no requirement contained in our Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, or minutes which requires officers and directors of our business to disclose to us business opportunities which come to their attention. Our officers and directors do, however, have a fiduciary duty of loyalty to us to disclose to us any business opportunities which come to their attention, in their capacity as an officer and/or director or otherwise. Excluded from this duty would be opportunities which the person learns about through his involvement as an officer and director of another company. We have no intention of merging with or acquiring business opportunity from any affiliate or officer or director.

We have agreed to indemnification of officers and directors as is provided by Florida Statutes.
 
Florida Statutes provide for the indemnification of our directors, officers, employees, and agents, under certain circumstances, against attorney’s fees and other expenses incurred by them in any litigation to which they become a party arising from their association with or activities our behalf. We will also bear the expenses of such litigation for any of our directors, officers, employees, or agents, upon such person’s promise to repay us therefore if it is ultimately determined that any such person shall not have been entitled to indemnification. This indemnification policy could result in substantial expenditures by us that we will be unable to recoup.
 
Our directors’ liability to us and shareholders is limited.
 
Florida Statutes exclude personal liability of our directors and our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty except in certain specified circumstances. Accordingly, we will have a much more limited right of action against our directors that otherwise would be the case. This provision does not affect the liability of any director under federal or applicable state securities laws.
 
Our Stock prices in the Market may be volatile.
 
The value of our Common stock may be highly volatile and could be subject to fluctuations in price in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control. These factors include:
 
 
 
 
quarterly variations in our results of operations or those of our competitors;
 
announcements by us or our competitors of acquisitions, new products, significant contracts, commercial relationships or capital commitments;
 
disruption to our operations or those of other sources critical to our network operations;
 
the emergence of new competitors or new technologies;
 
our ability to develop and market new and enhanced products on a timely basis;
 
seasonal or other variations in our subscriber base;
 
commencement of, or our involvement in, litigation;
 
availability of additional spectrum;
 
dilutive issuances of our stock or the stock of our subsidiaries, or the incurrence of additional debt;
 
changes in our board or management;
 
adoption of new or different accounting standards;
 
changes in governmental regulations or in the status of our regulatory approvals;
 
changes in earnings estimates or recommendations by securities analysts;
 
announcements regarding WiMAX and other technical standards; and
 
general economic conditions and slow or negative growth of related markets.
         
In addition, the stock market in general, and the market for shares of technology companies in particular, has experienced price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. We expect the value of our common stock will be subject to such fluctuations.
 
We may not be able to successfully implement our business strategy without substantial additional capital. Any such failure may adversely affect the business and results of operations.
 
Unless we can generate revenues sufficient to implement our Business Plan, we will need to obtain additional financing through debt or bank financing, or through the sale of shareholder interests to execute our Business Plan. We expect to need at least $38,000,000 in the next twelve months in capital or loans to complete our plans and operations. We may not be able to obtain this financing at all. We have not sought commitments for this financing, and we have no terms for either debt or equity financing, and we realize that it may be difficult to obtain on favorable terms. Moreover, if we issue additional equity securities to support our operations, Investor holdings may be diluted. Our business plans are at risk if we cannot continually achieve additional capital raising to complete our plans.

We are reliant, in part, on third party sales organizations, which may not perform as we expect.
 
We, from time to time rely on the sales force of third-party sales organizations with support from our own selling resources. The third-party relationships and internal organization are not fully developed at this time and must be developed. We may not be able to hire effective inside salespeople to help our third-party sales organizations close sales. There is no assurance that any approaches will improve sales. Further, using only a direct sales force would be less cost-effective than our plan to use third-party sales organizations. In addition, a direct sales model may be ineffective if we were unable to hire and retain qualified salespeople and if the sales force fails to complete sales. Moreover, even if we successfully implement our business strategy, we may not have positive operating results. We may decide to alter or discontinue aspects of our business strategy and may adopt different strategies due to business or competitive factors.
 
Our growth may be affected adversely if our sales of products and services are negatively affected by competition or other factors.
 
The growth of our business is dependent, in large part, upon the development of sales for our services and product offerings. Market opportunities that we expect to exist may not develop as expected, or at all. For example, a substantial percentage of our service offerings is oriented around data access. If lower cost alternatives are developed, our sales would decrease and our operating results would be negatively affected. Moreover, even if market opportunities develop as expected, new technologies and services offerings introduced by competitors may significantly limit our ability to capitalize on any such market opportunity. Our failure to capitalize on expected market opportunities would adversely affect revenue growth.
 
The lack of operating history and the rapidly changing nature of the market in which we compete make it difficult to accurately forecast revenues and operating results. We anticipate that revenues and operating results might fluctuate in the future due to a number of factors including the following:
 
the timing of sales for current services and products offerings
 
the timing of new product implementations
 
unexpected delays in introducing new services and products offerings
 
increased expense related to sales and marketing, product development or administration
 
the mix of products and our services offerings
 
costs related to possible acquisitions of technology or business.
 
costs of providing services
 
We may be unable to compete with larger, more established competitors.
 
The market for providing network delivered service solutions is competitive. We expect competition to intensify in the future. Many of our potential competitors have longer operating histories, larger customer bases, greater recognition and significantly greater resources. As a result, competitors may be able to respond more quickly to emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements than we can.

We may not be able to compete successfully against competitors, and the competitive pressures we face may have an adverse effect on our business.
  
Our common stock will in all likelihood be thinly traded and as a result you may be unable to sell at or near ask prices or at all if you need to liquidate your shares, after any conversion from Preferred Stock.
 
The shares of our common stock may be thinly-traded on the OTC Market, meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing our common shares at or near ask prices at any given time may be relatively small or non-existent. This situation is attributable to a number of factors, including the fact that we are a small company which is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors and others in the investment community that generate or influence sales volume, and that even if we came to the attention of such persons, they tend to be risk-averse and would be reluctant to follow an unproven, early stage company such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase of any of our Securities until such time as we became more seasoned and viable. As a consequence, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our Securities is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on Securities price. We cannot give you any assurance that a broader or more active public trading market for our common Securities will develop or be sustained, or that any trading levels will be sustained. Due to these conditions, we can give investors no assurance that they will be able to sell their shares at or near ask prices or at all if they need money or otherwise desire to liquidate their securities of our Company.

The regulation of penny stocks by SEC and FINRA may discourage the tradability of our common stock or other securities.
 
We are a “penny stock” company. Our common stock currently trades on the OTCQB under the symbol “TPTW” and will be subject to a Securities and Exchange Commission rule that imposes special sales practice requirements upon broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers or accredited investors. For purposes of the rule, the phrase “accredited investors” means, in general terms, institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000, or individuals having a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or having an annual income that exceeds $200,000 (or that, when combined with a spouse’s income, exceeds $300,000). For transactions covered by the rule, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. Effectively, this discourages broker-dealers from executing trades in penny stocks. Consequently, the rule will affect the ability of purchasers to sell their securities in any market that might develop therefore because it imposes additional regulatory burdens on penny stock transactions.
 
In addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted a number of rules to regulate “penny stocks". Such rules include Rules 3a51-1, 15g-1, 15g-2, 15g-3, 15g-4, 15g-5, 15g-6, 15g-7, and 15g-9 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Because our securities constitute “penny stocks” within the meaning of the rules, the rules would apply to us and to our securities. The rules will further affect the ability of owners of shares to sell our securities in any market that might develop for them because it imposes additional regulatory burdens on penny stock transactions.
 
Shareholders should be aware that, according to Securities and Exchange Commission, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (i) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (ii) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (iii) “boiler room” practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (iv) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (v) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired consequent investor losses. Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities.
 
Inventory in penny stocks have limited remedies in the event of violations of penny stock rules. While the courts are always available to seek remedies for fraud against us, most, if not all, brokerages require their customers to sign mandatory arbitration agreements in conjunctions with opening trading accounts. Such arbitration may be through an independent arbiter. Investors may file a complaint with FINRA against the broker allegedly at fault, and FINRA may be the arbiter, under FINRA rules. Arbitration rules generally limit discovery and provide more expedient adjudication, but also provide limited remedies in damages usually only the actual economic loss in the account. Investors should understand that if a fraud case is filed against a company in the courts it may be vigorously defended and may take years and great legal expenses and costs to pursue, which may not be economically feasible for small investors.
 
That absent arbitration agreements related to brokerage accounts, specific legal remedies available to investors of penny stocks include the following:
 
If a penny stock is sold to the investor in violation of the requirements listed above, or other federal or states securities laws, the investor may be able to cancel the purchase and receive a refund of the investment.
  
If a penny stock is sold to the investor in a fraudulent manner, the investor may be able to sue the persons and firms that committed the fraud for damages.
 
The fact that we are a penny stock company will cause many brokers to refuse to handle transactions in the stocks, and may discourage trading activity and volume, or result in wide disparities between bid and ask prices. These may cause investors significant illiquidity of the stock at a price at which they may wish to sell or in the opportunity to complete a sale. Investors will have no effective legal remedies for these illiquidity issues.
 
We will pay no dividends in the foreseeable future on common stock.
 
We have not paid dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying such dividends in the foreseeable future. The Series D Preferred Stock will be paid 6% per annum on a cumulative basis, in cash or in registered common stock.

Rule 144 sales of stock in the future may have a depressive effect on our stock price.
 
All of the outstanding shares of common stock held by our present officers, directors, and affiliate stockholders are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. As restricted Shares, common shares may be resold only pursuant to an effective registration statement or under the requirements of Rule 144 or other applicable exemptions from registration under the Act and as required under applicable state securities laws. Rule 144 provides in essence that a person who has held restricted securities for six months, under certain conditions, sell every three months, in brokerage transactions, a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of 1.0% of a company’s outstanding common stock or the average weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks prior to the sale. There is no limit on the amount of restricted securities that may be sold by a non-affiliate after the owner has held the restricted securities for a period of six months. A sale under Rule 144 or under any other exemption from the Act, if available, or pursuant to subsequent registration of shares of common stock of present stockholders, may have a depressive effect upon the price of the common stock in any market that may develop.
 
Any sales of our common stock, if in significant amounts, are likely to depress the future market price of our securities.
 
Assuming all of the shares of common stock held by the selling security holder registered in a Form S-1 and effective with the SEC on January 27, 2021 are sold, we would have 7,500,000 new shares that are freely tradable and therefor available for sale, in market or private transactions.
 
Unrestricted sales of 7,500,000 shares of stock by our selling stockholders could have a huge negative impact on our share price, and the market for our shares.
 
Any new potential investors will suffer a disproportionate risk and there will be immediate dilution of existing investor’s investments.
 
Our present shareholders have acquired their securities at a cost significantly less than that which the investors purchasing hereto will pay for their stock holdings or at which future purchasers in the market may pay. Therefore, any new potential investors will bear most of the risk of loss.
 
We can issue future series of shares of preferred stock without shareholder approval, which could adversely affect the rights of common shareholders.
 
Our Articles of Incorporation permit our Board of Directors to establish the rights, privileges, preferences and restrictions, including voting rights, of future series of stock and to issue such stock without approval from our shareholders. The rights of holders of common stock may suffer as a result of the rights granted to holders of preferred stock that may be issued in the future. In addition, we could issue preferred stock to prevent a change in control of our Company, depriving common shareholders of an opportunity to sell their stock at a price in excess of the prevailing market price.
 
RISKS RELATING TO OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND POTENTIAL LITIGATION
 
We may not be able to protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights.
 
There can be no assurances that we will be able to obtain intellectual property protection that will effectively prevent any competitors from developing or marketing the same or a competing technology. In addition, we cannot predict whether we will be subject to intellectual property litigation the outcome of which is subject to uncertainty and which can be very costly to pursue or defend. We will attempt to continue to protect our proprietary designs and to avoid infringing on the intellectual property of third parties. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to protect our intellectual property or avoid suits by third parties claiming intellectual property infringement.
 
If our patents and other intellectual property rights do not adequately protect our service offering, we may lose market share to competitors and be unable to operate our business profitably.
 
Patents and other proprietary rights are anticipated to be of value to our future business, and our ability to compete effectively with other companies depends on the proprietary nature of our current or future technologies. We also rely upon trade secrets, know-how, continuing technological innovations and licensing opportunities to develop, maintain, and strengthen our competitive position. We cannot assure you that any future patent applications will result in issued patents, that any patents issued or licensed to us will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented or that the rights granted there under will provide a competitive advantage to us or prevent competitors from entering markets which we currently serve. Any required license may not be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all or may become invalid if the licensee’s right to such technology become challenged and/or revoked. In addition, some licenses may be non-exclusive, and therefore competitors may have access to the same technologies as we do. Furthermore, we may have to take legal action in the future to protect our trade secrets or know-how, or to defend them against claimed infringement of the rights of others. Any legal action of that type could be costly and time-consuming to us, and we cannot assure you that such actions will be successful. The invalidation of key patents or proprietary rights which we own or unsuccessful outcomes in lawsuits to protect our intellectual property may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
 
50
 
 
We may in the future become subject to claims that some, or the entire service offering violates the patent or intellectual property rights of others, which could be costly and disruptive to us.
 
We operate in an industry that is susceptible to patent litigation. As a result, we or the parties we license technology from may become subject to patent infringement claims or litigation. Further, one or more of our future patents or applications may become subject to interference proceedings declared by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, (“USPTO”) or the foreign equivalents thereof to determine the priority of claims to inventions. The defense of intellectual property suits, USPTO interference proceedings or the foreign equivalents thereof, as well as related legal and administrative proceedings, are both costly and time consuming and may divert management's attention from other business concerns. An adverse determination in litigation or interference proceedings to which we may become a party could, among other things:
 
subject us to significant liabilities to third parties, including treble damages;
 
require disputed rights to be licensed from a third party for royalties that may be substantial;
 
require us to cease using such technology; or
 
prohibit us from selling certain of our service offerings.
 
Any of these outcomes could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

PATENTS, TRADE NAMES, TRADEMARKS AND COPYRIGHTS
 
Either directly or through our subsidiaries, we have rights in various patents, trade names, trademarks, copyrights and other intellectual property necessary to conduct our business. Our services often use the intellectual property of others, including licensed software. We also occasionally license our intellectual property to others as we deem appropriate.
  
We periodically receive offers from third parties to purchase or obtain licenses for patents and other intellectual property rights in exchange for royalties or other payments. We also periodically receive notices, or are named in lawsuits, alleging that our products or services infringe on patents or other intellectual property rights of third parties. In certain instances, these matters can potentially adversely impact our operations, operating results or financial position. For additional information, see “Risk Factors”.
 
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
 
We have been named in a lawsuit by EMA Financial, LLC (“EMA”) for failing to comply with a Securities Purchase Agreement entered into in June 2019. More specifically, EMA claims the Company failed to honor notices of conversion, failed to establish and maintain share reserves, failed to register EMA shares and by failed to assure that EMA shares were Rule 144 eligible within 6 months. EMA has claimed in excess of $7,614,967 in relief. The Company has filed a motion in response for which EMA has filed a motion to dismiss. The Company does not believe at this time that any negative outcome would result in more than the $593,120 it has recorded on its balance sheet as of December 31, 2020.

A lawsuit was filed in Michigan by the one of the former owners of SpeedConnect, LLC, John Ogren.   Mr. Ogren claims he is owed back wages related to the acquisition agreement wherein the Company acquired the assets of SpeedConnect, LLC and kept him on through a consulting agreement.  He ultimately resigned in writing and now claims that even though he resigned he should still have been paid.  Mr. Ogren is claiming wages of $354,178 plus interest, fees and costs. The consulting agreement called for arbitration.  We understand that Mr. Ogren is in the process of dismissing the lawsuit and that he wants to pursue his claim through arbitration.   Management does not believe the Company has any liability in this claim and will pursue its defenses vigorously.
 
The Company has been named in a lawsuit, Robert Serrett vs. TruCom, Inc., by a former employee who was terminated by management in 2016. The employee was working under an employment agreement but was terminated for breach of the agreement. The former employee is suing for breach of contract and is seeking around $75,000 in back pay and benefits. We recently learned that Mr. Serrett received a default judgement in Texas on May 15, 2018 for $70,649.96, plus $3,500 in attorney fees and 5% interest and court costs.  However, he has made no attempt that we are aware of to obtain a sister state judgment in Arizona, where Trucom resides, or to try and enforce the judgement and collect.  Management believes it has good and meritorious defenses and does not belief the outcome of the lawsuit will have any material effect on the financial position of the Company.  
 
The Company has collected $338,725 from one customer in excess of amounts due from that customer in accordance with the customer’s understanding of the appropriate billings activity. The customer has filed a written demand for repayment by the Company of these amounts. Management believes that the customer agreement allows them to keep the amounts under dispute. Given the dispute, the Company has reflected the amounts in dispute as a customer liability on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.
 
We are not currently involved in any litigation that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. There is no action, suite, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our company or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting our company, our common stock, any of our subsidiaries or of our companies or our subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect. We anticipate that we (including current and any future subsidiaries) will from time to time become subject to claims and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. It is not feasible to predict the outcome of any such proceedings and we cannot assure that their ultimate disposition will not have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

PART II
 
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES.
 
Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC QB under the symbol “TPTW”. Because we are quoted on the OTC QB, our securities may be less liquid, receive less coverage by security analysts and news media, and generate lower prices than might otherwise be obtained if they were listed on a national securities exchange.
 
Holders.
 
As of December 31, 2020, there are approximately 433 record holders of 865,564,371 shares of our common stock.
 
Dividends.
 
As of the filing of this prospectus, we have not paid any dividends on our common stock to shareholders. The Series D Preferred Stock will be paid 6% per annum on a cumulative basis, in cash or in registered common stock. There are no restrictions which would limit our ability to pay dividends on common equity or that are likely to do so in the future. The Florida Revised Statutes, however, do prohibit us from declaring dividends where, after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend; we would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or our total assets would be less than the sum of the total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of shareholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution.

Preferred shares.
 
As of December 31, 2020, we had authorized 100,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, of which certain shares had been designated as Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock.
 
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.
 
The Company designated 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock as Series A Preferred Stock. In February 2015, the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to Stephen Thomas, Chairman, CEO and President of the Company, valued at $3,117,000 for compensation expense. These shares are outstanding as of December 31, 2020.
 
The Series A Preferred Stock has a par value of $.001, is redeemable at the Company’s option at $100 per share, is senior to any other class or series of outstanding Preferred Stock or Common Stock and does not bear dividends. The Series A Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference immediately after any Senior Securities, as defined and amended, of an amount equal to amounts payable owing, including contingency amounts where Holders of the Series A have personally guaranteed obligations of the Company. Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall, collectively have the right to convert all of their Series A Preferred Stock when conversion is elected into that number of shares of Common Stock of the Company, determined by the following formula: 60% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares as computed immediately after the transaction for conversion. For further clarification, the 60% of the issued and outstanding common shares includes what the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock may already hold in common shares at the time of conversion. The Series A Preferred Stock, collectively, shall have the right to vote as if converted prior to the vote to a number of shares equal to 60% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company.
  
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Series A Preferred Stock was reclassified as mezzanine equity as a result of the Company not having enough authorized common shares to be able to issue common shares upon their conversion.
 
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.
 
In February 2015, the Company designated 3,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.
 
The Series B Preferred Stock was designated in February 2015, has a par value of $.001, is not redeemable, is senior to any other class or series of outstanding Preferred Stock, except the Series A Preferred Stock, or Common Stock and does not bear dividends. The Series B Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference immediately after any Senior Securities, as defined and currently the Series A Preferred Stock, and of an amount equal to $2.00 per share. Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock have a right to convert all or any part of the Series B Preferred Shares and will receive and equal number of common shares at the conversion price of $2.00 per share. The Series B Preferred Stockholders have a right to vote on any matter with holders of Common Stock and shall have a number of votes equal to that number of Common Shares on a one-to-one basis.
 
There are 2,588,693 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding as of December 31, 2020. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Series B Preferred Stock was reclassified as mezzanine equity as a result of the Company not having enough authorized common shares to be able to issue common shares upon their conversion.
 
Series C Convertible Preferred Stock.
 
In May 2018, the Company designated 3,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock as Series C Convertible Preferred Stock.  
 
The Series C Preferred Stock has a par value of $.001, is not redeemable, is senior to any other class or series of outstanding Preferred Stock, except the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock, or Common Stock and does not bear dividends. The Series C Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference immediately after any Senior Securities, as defined and currently the Series A and B Preferred Stock, and of an amount equal to $2.00 per share. Holders of the Series C Preferred Stock have a right to convert all or any part of the Series C Preferred Shares and will receive an equal number of common shares at the conversion price of $0.15 per share. The Series C Preferred Stockholders have a right to vote on any matter with holders of Common Stock and shall have a number of votes equal to that number of Common Shares on a one-to-one basis.
 
 
53
 
 
There are no shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding as of December 31, 2020.
 
Series D Convertible Preferred Stock.
 
On June 15, 2020, the Company amended its Series D Designation from January 14, 2020. This Amendment changed the number of shares to 10,000,000 shares of the authorized 100,000,000 shares of the Company's $0.001 par value preferred stock as the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock ("the Series D Preferred Shares.").
 
Series D Preferred shares have the following features: (i) 6% Cumulative Annual Dividends payable on the purchase value in cash or common stock of the Company at the discretion of the Board and payment is also at the discretion of the Board, which may decide to cumulate to future years; (ii) Any time after 18 months from issuance an option to convert to common stock at the election of the holder @ 80% of the 30 day average market closing price (for previous 30 business days) divided into $5.00. ; (iii) Automatic conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock shall occur without consent of holders upon any national exchange listing approval and the registration effectiveness of common stock underlying the conversion rights. The automatic conversion to common from Series D Preferred shall be on a one for one basis, which shall be post-reverse split as may be necessary for any Exchange listing (iv) Registration Rights – the Company has granted Piggyback Registration Rights for common stock underlying conversion rights in the event it files any other Registration Statement (other than an S-1 that the Company may file for certain conversion common shares for the convertible note financing that was arranged and funded in 2019). Further, the Company will file, and pursue to effectiveness, a Registration Statement or offering statement for common stock underlying the Automatic Conversion event triggered by an exchange listing. (v) Liquidation Rights - $5.00 per share plus any accrued unpaid dividends – subordinate to Series A, B, and C Preferred Stock receiving full liquidation under the terms of such series. The Company has redemption rights for the first year following the Issuance Date to redeem all or part of the principal amount of the Series D Preferred Stock at between 115% and 140%.
 
As of December 31, 2020, there are no Series D Preferred shares outstanding as amended.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the related party holders of approximately $4,700,000 of existing financing arrangements agreed to exchange their debt and accrued interest for 940,800 Series D Preferred Stock through a separate $12 Million Private Placement of Series D Preferred Stock (“$12 Million Private Placement”), conditioned on the Company raising at least $12,000,000. To date, this condition has not been met.

Exemption From Registration Claimed
 
All of the above sales by us of our unregistered securities were made by us in reliance upon Rule 506 of Regulation D and Section 4(a)(5) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"). All of the individuals and/or entities that purchased the unregistered securities were primarily existing shareholders, known to us and our management, through pre-existing business relationships, as long-standing business associates and employees. All purchasers were provided access to all material information, which they requested, and all information necessary to verify such information and were afforded access to our management in connection with their purchases. All purchasers of the unregistered securities acquired such securities for investment and not with a view toward distribution, acknowledging such intent to us. All certificates or agreements representing such securities that were issued contained restrictive legends, prohibiting further transfer of the certificates or agreements representing such securities, without such securities either being first registered or otherwise exempt from registration in any further resale or disposition.
 
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
 
We did not repurchase any shares of our common stock during the year ended December 31, 2020.
 
ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA.
 
Not applicable.
 
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
 
Forward-Looking Statements and Associated Risks.
 
This Form 10-K contains certain statements that are forward-looking within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. For this purpose, any statements contained in this Form 10-K that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “continue,” or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially depending on a variety of factors, many of which are not within our control. These factors include but are not limited to economic conditions generally and in the industries in which we may participate; competition within our chosen industry, including competition from much larger competitors; technological advances and failure to successfully develop business relationships.
 
Based on our financial history since inception, our auditor has expressed substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, as of December 31, 2020, we had an accumulated deficit totaling $40,902,944. This raises substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern.
 
We generate revenues primarily through telecommunications and Internet services and as a provider of ecommerce and cloud solutions in the western United States.

(1) It is expected the use of this working capital and funds for equipment purchases will extend into 2022.
 
 
57
 
 
Although the items set forth above indicate management’s present estimate of our use of the net proceeds, we may reallocate the proceeds or utilize them for other corporate purposes. Our actual use of proceeds may vary from these estimates because of a number of factors, including whether we are successful in completing future acquisitions, whether we obtain additional funding, what other obligations have been incurred by us, the operating results of our initial acquisition activities, and whether we are able to operate profitably. If our need for working capital increases, we may seek additional funds through loans or other financing. There are no commitments for any such financing, and there can be no assurance that these funds may be obtained in the future if the need arises.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
For the Year Ended December 31, 2020 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2019
 
During the year ended December 31, 2020, we recognized total revenues of $11,094,170 compared to the prior period of $10,212,377. The increase was a result of the acquisition of a majority of the assets of SpeedConnect in May of 2019.
 
Gross profit (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $3,900,677 compared to $4,300,376 for the prior period. The decrease was due primarily to a decrease in the gross profit from Blue Collar. Blue Collar’s operations were severally restricted from the effects of COVID-19 during 2020.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2020, we recognized $12,105,016 in expenses compared to $7,409,428 for the prior period. The increase was a result of the acquisition of a majority of the assets of SpeedConnect in May of 2019, 1,000,000 of research and development expense, and $2,702,996 of impairment expense in 2020.
 
Derivative gain of $1,140,323 compared to derivative expense of $7,476,908 for 2019 resulted from the accounting for derivative financial instruments.
 
Interest expense decreased for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to the prior period by $2,049,287. The decrease is largely from the derivative debt being in default of the increased penalty amounts that were accounted for in the prior period versus this period.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2020, we recognized a net loss of $8,119,268 compared to $14,028,165 for the prior period. The increase in the loss of $6,762,263 was in large part a result of derivative expense of $7,476,908 in 2019 versus a derivative gain of $1,140,323 in 2020, higher interest expense of $3,581,020 versus $1,531,733 in 2020 from the convertible promissory notes and impairment expense of $2,702,996, in 2020 versus $949,872 for the prior year.
  
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
Cash flows generated from operating activities were not enough to support all working capital requirements for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. Financing activities described below have helped with working capital and other capital requirements.
 
We incurred $8,119,268 and $14,028,165, respectively, in losses, and we used $489,573 and $328,251, respectively, in cash for operations for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. We calculate the net cash used by operating activities by decreasing, or increasing in case of gain, our let loss by those items that do not require the use of cash such as depreciation, amortization, promissory note issued for research and development, note payable issued for legal fees, derivative expense or gain, gain on extinguishment of debt, loss on conversion of notes payable, impairment of goodwill and long-loved assts and share-based compensation which totaled to a net $5,378,277 for 2020 and $13,091,764 for 2019.
 
In addition, we report increases and reductions in liabilities as uses of cash and deceases assets and increases in liabilities as sources of cash, together referred to as changes in operating assets and liabilities. For the year ended December 31, 2020, we had a net increase in our assets and liabilities of $2,251,418 primarily from an increase in accounts payable from lag of payments for accounts payable for cash flow considerations and an increase in the balances from our operating lease liabilities. For the year ended December 31, 2019 we had a net increase to our assets and liabilities of $608,150 for similar reasons.
 
Cash flows from financing activities were $817,608 and $1,390,538 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. For the year ended December 30, 2020, these cash flows were generated primarily from proceeds from proceeds from sale of non-controlling interests in QuikLABS of $460,000, proceeds from convertible notes, loans and advances of $1,753,204 offset by payment on convertible loans, advances and factoring agreements of $1,169,330 and payments on convertible notes and amounts payable – related parties of $212,256. For the year ended December 31, 2019, cash flows from financing activities primarily came from proceeds from convertible notes, loans and advances of $2,613,047 offset by payments on convertible loans, advances and factoring agreements of $1,440,139.
 
Cash flows used in investing activities were $500,898 and $901,901, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. For the year ended December 31, 2020 these cash flows were used primarily for the acquisition of property and equipment of $424,560 and the purchase of intangibles of $76,798. For the year ended December 31, 2019 cash flows for investing activities were used to acquire property and equipment and the payment for business acquisitions.
 
These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
In December 2019, COVID-19 emerged and has subsequently spread worldwide. The World Health Organization has declared COVID-19 a pandemic resulting in federal, state and local governments and private entities mandating various restrictions, including travel restrictions, restrictions on public gatherings, stay at home orders and advisories and quarantining of people who may have been exposed to the virus. After close monitoring and responses and guidance from federal, state and local governments, in an effort to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, around March 18, 2020 for a period of time, the Company closed its Blue Collar office in Los Angeles and its TPT SpeedConnect offices in Michigan, Idaho and Arizona.  Most employees were working remotely, however this is not possible with certain employees and all subcontractors that work for Blue Collar. The Company continues to monitor developments, including government requirements and recommendations at the national, state, and local level to evaluate possible extensions to all or part of such closures.
 
The Company has taken advantage of the stimulus offerings and received $722,200 in April 2020 and $680,500 in February 2021 and believes it has used these funds as is prescribed by the stimulus offerings to have the entire amounts forgiven. The Company has applied for forgiveness of the original stimulus of $722,200. The forgiveness process for stimulus funded in February 2021 has not begun. The Company will try and take advantage of additional stimulus as it is available and is also in the process of trying to raise debt and equity financing, some of which may have to be used for working capital shortfalls if revenues continue to decline because of the COVID-19 closures. 
 
 
58
 
 
In order for us to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements, we will need to obtain additional debt or equity financing and look for companies with cash flow positive operations that we can acquire. There can be no assurance that we will be able to secure additional debt or equity financing, that we will be able to acquire cash flow positive operations, or that, if we are successful in any of those actions, those actions will produce adequate cash flow to enable us to meet all our future obligations. Most of our existing financing arrangements are short-term. If we are unable to obtain additional debt or equity financing, we may be required to significantly reduce or cease operations.

(1) Various dates from December 2019 to June 2020.
(2) Subsequently amended to August 31, 2020.
(3) $2,000,000 from debt proceeds and $2,000,000 from a second Company public offering.
(4) On September 1, 2018, the Company closed on its acquisition of Blue Collar. Part of the acquisition included a promissory note of $1,600,000 and interest at 3%. The promissory note is secured by the assets of Blue Collar.
(5) Matrixsites debt of $4,000,000 does not bear interest, is not convertible and is payable $2,000,000 from debt proceeds and $2,000,000 from a second Company public offering and has a security interest in the assets that were acquired.
(6) Aire Fitness debt of $500,000 ($473,334 net of discount) does not bear interest, is not convertible, is payable six months from origination (August 1, 2020) or as agreed up by the Company and the former owners (currently non-controlling interest holders) of Aire Fitness has a security interest in the assets that were acquired. This Note Payable became delinquent subsequent to December 31, 2020.

Consequences of not repaying the Blue Collar $1,600,000 debt, the Matrixsites $4,000,000 debt and the Aire Fitness $500,000 debt ($473,334 net of discount) are outlined in the security agreements which are generally the following:
 
The lender (seller) may foreclose on the assets in the event of default of non-payment or other default and may bid in the assets at foreclosure at less than the debt. This could have the practical effect of taking away the assets pledged, through the foreclosure and, may leave a deficiency under the note, which would mean the company would have none of the assets and still retain liability for an unknown amount, and have no business related to these acquisitions.
 
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Revenue Recognition
 
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”). We recorded the change, which was immaterial, related to adopting the new revenue standard using the modified retrospective method. Under this method, we recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying the new revenue standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. This results in no restatement of prior periods, which continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. We expect the impact of the adoption of the new revenue standard to continue to be immaterial on an ongoing basis. We have applied the new revenue standard to all contracts as of the date of initial application and as such, have used the following criteria described below in more detail for each business unit:
 
Identify the contract with the customer.
Identify the performance obligations in the contract.
Determine the transaction price.
Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract.
Recognize revenue when or as we satisfy a performance obligation. 
 
Reserves are recorded as a reduction in net sales and are not considered material to our consolidated statements of income for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. In addition, we invoice our customers for taxes assessed by governmental authorities such as sales tax and value added taxes, where applicable. We present these taxes on a net basis.
 
The Company’s revenue generation for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 came from the following sources disaggregated by services and products, which sources are explained in detail below.

TPT SpeedConnect: ISP and Telecom Revenue
 
TPT SpeedConnect is a rural Internet provider operating in 10 Midwestern States under the trade name SpeedConnect. TPT SC’s primary business model is subscription based, pre-paid monthly reoccurring revenues, from wireless delivered, high-speed internet connections. In addition, the company resells third-party satellite and DSL internet and IP telephony services. Revenue generated from sales of telecommunications services is recognized as the transaction with the customer is considered closed and the customer receives and accepts the services that were the result of the transaction. There are no financing terms or variable transaction prices. Due date is detailed on monthly invoices distributed to customer. Services billed monthly in advance are deferred to the proper period as needed. Deferred revenue are contract liabilities for cash received before performance obligations for monthly services are satisfied. Deferred revenue at December 31, 2020 and 2019 are $292,847 and $305,741, respectively. Certain of our products require specialized installation and equipment. For telecom products that include installation, if the installation meets the criteria to be considered a separate element, product revenue is recognized upon delivery, and installation revenue is recognized when the installation is complete. The Installation Technician collects the signed quote containing terms and conditions when installing the site equipment at customer premises.
 
 
60
 
 
Revenue for installation services and equipment is billed separately from recurring ISP and telecom services and is recognized when equipment is delivered and installation is completed. Revenue from ISP and telecom services is recognized monthly over the contractual period, or as services are rendered and accepted by the customer.
 
The overwhelming majority of our revenue continues to be recognized when transactions occur. Since installation fees are generally small relative to the size of the overall contract and because most contracts are for two years or less, the impact of not recognizing installation fees over the contract is immaterial.
 
Blue Collar: Media Production Services
 
Blue Collar creates original live action and animated content productions and has produced hundreds of hours of material for the television, theatrical, home entertainment and new media markets. Blue Collar designs branding and marketing campaigns and has had agreements with some of the world’s largest companies including PepsiCo, Intel, HP, WalMart and many other Fortune 500 companies. Additionally, they create motion picture, television and home entertainment marketing campaigns for studios including Sony, DreamWorks, Twentieth Century Fox, Universal Studios, Paramount Studios, and Warner Brothers. With regard to revenue recognition, Blue Collar receives an agreement from each client to perform defined work. Some agreements are written, some are verbal. Work may include creation of marketing materials and/or content creation. Some work may be short term and take weeks to create and some work may be longer and take months to create. There are instances where customer agreements segregate identifiable obligations (like filming on site vs. film editing and final production) with separate transaction pricing. The performance obligation is generally satisfied upon delivery of such film or production products, at which time revenue is recognized. There are no financing terms or variable transaction prices.
 
SDM: Ecommerce, Email Marketing and Web Design Services
 
SDM generates revenue by providing ecommerce, email marketing and web design solutions to small and large commercial businesses, complete with monthly software support, updates and maintenance. Services are billed monthly. There are no financing terms or variable transaction prices. Platform infrastructure support is a prepaid service billed in monthly recurring increments. The services are billed a month in advance and due prior to services being rendered. The revenue is deferred when invoiced and booked in the month the service is provided. There is no deferred revenue at December 31, 2020 and 2019. Software support services (including software upgrades) are billed in real time, on the first of the month. Web design service revenues are recognized upon completion of specific projects. Revenue is booked in the month the services are rendered and payments are due on the final day of the month. There are usually no contract revenues that are deferred until services are performed.
 
TPT MedTech: Medical Testing Revenue
 
TPT MedTech operates in the Point of Care Testing (“POCT”) market by primarily offering mobile medical testing facilities and software equipped for mobile devices to monitor and manage personalized healthcare. Services used from our mobile medical testing facilities are billing through credit cards at the time of service. Revenue is generated from our software platform as users sign up for our mobile healthcare monitor and management application and tests are performed. If medical testing is in one our own owned facility, the usage of the software application is included in the testing fees. If the testing is in a non-owned outside contracted facility, fees are generated from the usage of the software application on a per test basis and billed monthly.
 
TPT MedTech also offers two products. One is to build and sell its mobile testing facilities called QuikLABs designed for mobile testing. This is used by TPT MedTech for its own testing services. The other is a sanitizing unit called SANIQuik which is used as a safe and flexible way to sanitize providing an additional routine to hand washing and facial coverings. The SANIQuik has not yet been approved for sale in the United States but has in some parts of the European community. Revenues from these products are recognized when a product is delivered, the sales transaction considered closed and accepted by a customer. There are no financing terms or variable transaction prices for either of these products.
 
Copperhead Digital: ISP and Telecom Revenue
 
Copperhead Digital operated as a regional internet and telecom services provider operating in Arizona under the trade name Trucom. Although there are currently no customers and it will take capital to reopen this revenue stream, Copperhead Digital operated as a wireless telecommunications Internet Service Provider (“ISP”) facilitating both residential and commercial accounts. Copperhead Digital’s primary business model was subscription based, pre-paid monthly reoccurring revenues, from wireless delivered, high-speed internet connections. In addition, the company resold third-party satellite and DSL internet and IP telephony services. Revenue generated from sales of telecommunications services was recognized as the transaction with the customer is considered closed and the customer received and accepted the services that were the result of the transaction. There are no financing terms or variable transaction prices. Due date was detailed on monthly invoices distributed to customer. Services billed monthly in advance were deferred to the proper period as needed. Deferred revenue was contract liabilities for cash received before performance obligations for monthly services are satisfied. Certain of its products required specialized installation and equipment. For telecom products that included installation, if the installation met the criteria to be considered a separate element, product revenue was recognized upon delivery, and installation revenue was recognized when the installation was complete. The Installation Technician collected the signed quote containing terms and conditions when installing the site equipment at customer premises.

Since installation fees were generally small relative to the size of the overall contract and because most contracts were for a year or less, the impact of not recognizing installation fees over the contract was immaterial.
 
K Telecom: Prepaid Phones and SIM Cards Revenue
 
K Telecom generates revenue from reselling prepaid phones, SIM cards, and rechargeable minute traffic for prepaid phones to its customers (primarily retail outlets). Product sales occur at the customer’s locations, at which time delivery occurs and cash or check payment is received. The Company recognizes the revenue when they receive payment at the time of delivery. There are no financing terms or variable transaction prices.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The Company’s consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that management believes are necessary for the fair presentation of their financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented. 
 
Share-based Compensation
 
We are required to measure and recognize compensation expense for all share-based payment awards (including stock options) made to employees and directors based on estimated fair value. Compensation expense for equity-classified awards is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as an expense in earnings over the requisite service period.
 
We record compensation expense related to non-employees that are awarded stock in conjunction with selling goods or services and recognize compensation expenses over the vesting period of such awards.
 
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which amends ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. This ASU requires that most of the guidance related to stock compensation granted to employees be followed for non-employees, including the measurement date, valuation approach, and performance conditions. The expense is recognized in the same period as though cash were paid for the good or service. The effective date is the first quarter of fiscal year 2020, with early adoption permitted, including in interim periods. The ASU has been adopted using a modified-retrospective transition approach. The adoption is not considered to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
 
Income Taxes
 
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in our income tax provision in the period of enactment.
 
We recognize deferred tax assets to the extent that we believe that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations, including taxable income in carryback periods. If we determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, we would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce our income tax provision.
 
 
62
 
 
We account for uncertain tax positions using a “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold. We evaluate uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis and consider various factors, including, but not limited to, changes in tax law, the measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in tax returns, the effective settlement of matters subject to audit, new audit activity and changes in facts or circumstances related to a tax position.
 
During November 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-17, ASU 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which simplifies the presentation of deferred income taxes. ASU 2015-17 requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as non-current in a statement of financial position. We adopted ASU 2015-17 effective December 31, 2015.
 
It is our policy to record costs associated with interest and penalties related to tax in the selling, general and administrative line of the consolidated statements of operations.
 
Goodwill
 
Goodwill relates to amounts that arose in connection with our various business combinations and represents the difference between the purchase price and the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible net assets when accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Goodwill is not amortized, but it is subject to periodic review for impairment.
 
We test goodwill balances for impairment on an annual basis as of December 31st or whenever impairment indicators arise. We utilize several reporting units in evaluating goodwill for impairment using a quantitative assessment, which uses a combination of a guideline public company market-based approach and a discounted cash flow income-based approach. The quantitative assessment considers whether the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, in which case an impairment charge is recorded to the extent the reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value. Based on our impairment testing, we recorded impairment charges of $853,366 and $70,995 of goodwill during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
 
Intangible Assets
 
Our intangible assets consist primarily of customer relationships, developed technology, favorable leases, trademarks and the film library. The majority of our intangible assets were recorded in connection with our various business combinations. Our intangible assets are recorded at fair value at the time of their acquisition. Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful life on a straight-line basis. Estimated useful lives are determined considering the period the assets are expected to contribute to future cash flows. We evaluate the recoverability of our intangible assets periodically and take into account events or circumstances that warrant revised estimates of useful lives or that indicate impairment exists.
 
Business Acquisitions
 
Our business acquisitions have historically been made at prices above the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, resulting in goodwill or some identifiable intangible asset. Significant judgment is required in estimating the fair value of intangible assets and in assigning their respective useful lives. The fair value estimates are based on available historical information and on future expectations and assumptions deemed reasonable by management but are inherently uncertain.
 
We generally employ the income method to estimate the fair value of intangible assets, which is based on forecasts of the expected future cash flows attributable to the respective assets. Significant estimates and assumptions inherent in the valuations reflect a consideration of other marketplace participants and include the amount and timing of future cash flows (including expected growth rates and profitability), the underlying product life cycles, economic barriers to entry, a brand’s relative market position and the discount rate applied to the cash flows. Unanticipated market or macroeconomic events and circumstances may occur, which could affect the accuracy or validity of the estimates and assumptions.
 
Net assets acquired are recorded at their fair value and are subject to adjustment upon finalization of the fair value analysis.  
 
Long-Lived Assets 
 
We periodically review the carrying amount of our depreciable long-lived assets for impairment which include property and equipment and intangible assets. An asset is considered impaired when estimated future cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset. In the event the carrying amount of such asset is not considered recoverable, the asset is adjusted to its fair value. Fair value is generally determined based on discounted future cash flow. As of December 31, 2020, we adjusted the net book value to zero for the net book value of the equipment of Copperhead Digital as it became doubtful with no customers that the estimated future cash flows would recover the net book value. We recorded impairment expenses of $1,849,630 and 878,877, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Right of Use Assets and Lease Liabilities
 
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) and subsequent amendments to the initial guidance: ASU 2017-13, ASU 2018-10, ASU 2018-11, ASU 2018-20 and ASU 2019-01 (collectively, Topic 842). Topic 842 requires lessees to classify leases as either finance or operating leases and to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term greater than 12 months regardless of the lease classification. We adopted Topic 842 using the effective date, January 2019, as the date of our initial application of the standard. Consequently, financial information for the comparative periods has not been updated. Our finance and operating lease commitments are subject to the new standard and we recognize as finance and operating lease liabilities and right-of-use assets. The effect on our consolidated financial statements has not been material until we acquired the assets of SpeedConnect, which effect has been recorded during the period ended December 31, 2019 and is reflected in the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2019.
 
Research and Development
 
Our research and development programs focus on telecommunications products and services. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Any payments received from external parties to fund our research and development activities reduce the recorded research and development expenses.
 
Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share
 
The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earning per Share””. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholder (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 December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had shares that were potentially common stock equivalents as follows:

(2)  Price used for illustrative purposes.  Actual Exercise or conversion price is a calculation based on the market.
(3)  Holder of Series A Preferred Stock which is Stephen J. Thomas, guaranteed 60% of the then outstanding common stock upon conversion. The Company would have to authorize additional shares for this to occur as only 1,000,000,000 are currently authorized.
 
In the event of default under some of the notes, the conversion rates change significantly, allowing certain noteholders to convert at a greater discount to the market, which results in amounts of issuable shares which cannot be determined at this time. An estimate of the issuable shares is reflected below.
 
Derivative Financial Instruments
 
Derivative financial instruments, as defined in ASC 815, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities”, consist of financial instruments or other contracts that contain a notional amount and one or more underlying (e.g. interest rate, security price or other variable), require no initial net investment and permit net settlement. Derivative financial instruments may be free-standing or embedded in other financial instruments. Further, derivative financial instruments are initially, and subsequently, measured at fair value and recorded as liabilities or, in rare instances, assets.
 
The Company does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to cash-flow, market or foreign-currency risks. However, the Company had issued financial instruments including convertible promissory notes payable with features during 2019 that were either (i) not afforded equity classification, (ii) embody risks not clearly and closely related to host contracts, or (iii) may be net-cash settled by the counterparty. As required by ASC 815, in certain instances, these instruments are required to be carried as derivative liabilities, at fair value, in our financial statements. 
 
 
64
 
 
The Company estimates the fair values of derivative financial instruments using the monte Carlo model. Estimating fair values of derivative financial instruments requires the development of significant and subjective estimates (such as volatility, estimated life and interest rates) that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with related changes in internal and external market factors. In addition, option-based techniques are highly volatile and sensitive to changes in the trading market price of our common stock, which has a high-historical volatility. Since derivative financial instruments are initially and subsequently carried at fair values, the Company’s operating results will reflect the volatility in these estimate and assumption changes.
 
The Company issued convertible promissory notes which are convertible into common stock, at holders’ option, at a discount to the market price of the Company’s common stock. The Company has identified the embedded derivatives related to these notes relating to certain anti-dilutive (reset) provisions. These embedded derivatives included certain conversion features. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record fair value of the derivatives as of the inception date of debenture and to fair value as of each subsequent reporting date.
 
As of December 31, 2020, the Company marked to market the fair value of the debt derivatives and determined a fair value of $5,265,139 ($5,229,436 from the convertible notes and $35,703 from the warrants) in Note 6. The Company recorded a gain from change in fair value of debt derivatives of $1,140,323 for the year ended December 31, 2020. The fair value of the embedded derivatives was determined using Monte Carlo simulation method based on the following assumptions: (1) dividend yield of 0%, (2) expected volatility of 190.9% to 350.8%, (3) weighted average risk-free interest rate of 0.09% to 0.12% (4) expected life of 0.25 to 1.4 years, and (5) the quoted market price of $0.03 for the Company’s common stock.
 
COVID-19
 
In December 2019, COVID-19 emerged and has subsequently spread worldwide. The World Health Organization has declared COVID-19 a pandemic resulting in federal, state and local governments and private entities mandating various restrictions, including travel restrictions, restrictions on public gatherings, stay at home orders and advisories and quarantining of people who may have been exposed to the virus. After close monitoring and responses and guidance from federal, state and local governments, in an effort to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, around March 18, 2020 for an indefinite period of time, the Company closed its Blue Collar office in Las Angeles and its TPT SpeedConnect offices in Michigan, Idaho and Arizona.  Most employees are working remotely, however this is not possible with certain employees and all subcontractors that work for Blue Collar. The Company continues to monitor developments, including government requirements and recommendations at the national, state, and local level to evaluate possible extensions to all or part of such closures.
 
The Company has taken advantage of the stimulus offerings and received $722,200 in April 2020 and $680,500 in February 2021 and believes it has used these funds as is prescribed by the stimulus offerings to have the entire amounts forgiven. The Company has applied for forgiveness of $722,200 of this amount. The forgiveness process to stimulus funded in February 2021 has not begun. The Company will try and take advantage of additional stimulus as it is available and is also in the process of trying to raise debt and equity financing, some of which may have to be used for working capital shortfalls if revenues decrease significantly because of the COVID-19 closures. 
 
As the COVID-19 pandemic is complex and rapidly evolving, the Company's plans as described above may change. At this point, we cannot reasonably estimate the duration and severity of this pandemic, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of TPT Global Tech, Inc.:
 
Opinion on the Financial Statements
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of TPT Global Tech, Inc. (“the Company”) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2020 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
Explanatory Paragraph Regarding Going Concern
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has insufficient cash flows from operations to support working capital requirements. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
Basis for Opinion
 
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
 
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
Critical Audit Matters
 
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current-period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing a separate audit opinion on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
 
 
F-1
 
 
Long-Lived Asset Impairment Assessment
 
Critical Audit Matter Description
 
As described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company performs impairment testing for its long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable and exceeds its fair value. Due to challenging industry and economic conditions, the Company tested its long-lived assets during the year ended December 31, 2020.
 
We identified the evaluation of the impairment analysis for long-lived assets as a critical audit matter because of the significant estimates and assumptions management used in the related cash flow analysis. Performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of these estimates and assumptions required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort.
 
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
 
Our audit procedures related to the following:
 
Testing management’s process for developing the recoverability test.
Evaluating the appropriateness of the cash flow model used by management.
Testing the completeness and accuracy of underlying data used in the recoverability test.
Evaluating the significant assumptions used by management related to revenues, gross margin, other operating expenses, income taxes and long-term growth rate to discern whether they are reasonable considering (i) the current and past performance of the entity; (ii) the consistency with external market and industry data; and (iii) whether these assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit.
Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were utilized by the Firm to assist in the evaluation of the cash flow model and assumptions used by management in the related recoverability test.
 
Goodwill Impairment Assessment
 
Critical Audit Matter Description
 
As described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company tests goodwill for impairment annually at the reporting unit level, or more frequently, if events or circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Reporting units are tested for impairment by comparing the estimated fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, an impairment loss is recorded based on the difference between the fair value and carrying amount, not to exceed the associated carrying amount of goodwill. The Company’s annual impairment test occurred on December 31, 2020.
We identified the evaluation of the impairment analysis for goodwill as a critical audit matter because of the significant estimates and assumptions management used in the discounted cash flow analysis performed by management to determine fair value of the reporting unit. Performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of these estimates and assumptions required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort.

Business Acquisition
 
Description of the Critical Audit Matter
 
As described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company acquired 75% ownership of Aire Fitness for a total purchase price of $610,585. The Company accounted for this acquisition as a business combination. Accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value as of the transaction date. The Company utilized a third-party valuation specialist to assist in determining the fair value of the consideration granted and identifiable intangible assets acquired in the acquisition. We identified the estimation of the fair value of the consideration transferred, assets acquired, and liabilities assumed in the acquisition as a critical audit matter.
 
We identified the valuation of the consideration transferred, assets acquired, and liabilities assumed as a critical audit matter because of the significant estimates and assumptions management made to determine the fair value of certain of these assets. This required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort when performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of the valuation methodology applied and the assumptions used such as forecasted sales growth rates, cash flows, and estimated discount rates. In addition, the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.
 
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
 
Our audit procedures related to the following:
 
We evaluated management’s and the valuation specialist’s identification of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
We obtained management’s purchase price allocation detailing fair values assigned to acquired tangible and intangible assets.
We obtained the valuation report prepared by the valuation specialist engaged by management to assist in the purchase price allocation, including determination of fair values assigned to acquired intangible assets, and examined valuation methods used and qualifications of the specialist.
We examined the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data supporting the significant assumptions and estimates used in the valuation report, including historical and projected financial information.
We evaluated the accuracy and completeness of the financial statement presentation and disclosure of the acquisitions.
Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were utilized by the Firm to assist in the evaluation of the valuation models deployed by management.
 
Determination and Valuation of Derivative Liabilities
 
Critical Audit Matter Description
 
As described further in Note 6 of the consolidated financial statements, during the year ended December 31, 2020 and in prior periods, the Company issued convertible notes and warrants that required management to assess whether the conversion features of the convertible notes required bifurcation and separate valuation as a derivative liability and whether the warrants required accounting as derivative liabilities. The Company determined that the conversion features of certain of its convertible notes and certain warrants issued in financing arrangements required to be accounted for as derivative liabilities due to: (1) certain conversion features did not contain an explicit limit on the number of shares to be delivered in share settlement; and (2) the fact the Company could not assert it had sufficient authorized but unissued shares available to settle certain instruments considering all other stock-based commitments. The derivative liabilities were recorded at fair value when issued and subsequently re-measured to fair value upon settlement or at the end of each reporting period. The Company utilized valuation models to determine the fair value of the derivative liabilities depending on the features embedded in the instruments. These models use certain assumptions related to exercise price, term, expected volatility, and risk-free interest rate.
 
We identified auditing the determination and valuation of the derivative liabilities as a critical audit matter due to the significant judgements used by the Company in determining whether the embedded conversion features and warrants required derivative accounting treatment and the significant judgements used in determining the fair value of the derivative liabilities. Auditing the determination and valuation of the derivative liabilities involved a high degree of auditor judgement, and specialized skills and knowledge were needed.
 
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
 
Our audit procedures included the following, among others:
 
We inspected and reviewed debt agreements, warrant agreements, conversion notices, and settlement agreements to evaluate the Company's determination of whether derivative accounting was required, including assessing and evaluating management's application of relevant accounting standards to such transactions.
We evaluated the reasonableness and appropriateness of the choice of valuation model used for each specific derivative instrument.
We tested the reasonableness of the assumptions used by the Company in the valuation models, including exercise price, term, expected volatility, and risk-free interest rate.
We tested the accuracy and completeness of data used by the Company in developing the assumptions used in the valuation models.
We developed an independent expectation for comparison to the Company's estimate, which included developing our own valuation model and assumptions.
We evaluated the accuracy and completeness of the Company's presentation of these instruments in the financial statements and related disclosures in Note 6, including evaluating whether such disclosures were in accordance with relevant accounting standards.
Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were utilized by the Firm to assist in the evaluation of the valuation models deployed by management.

NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2020
 
NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Nature of Operations
 
The Company was originally incorporated in 1988 in the state of Florida. TPT Global, Inc., a Nevada corporation formed in June 2014, merged with Ally Pharma US, Inc., a Florida corporation, (“Ally Pharma”, formerly known as Gold Royalty Corporation) in a “reverse merger” wherein Ally Pharma issued 110,000,000 shares of Common Stock, or 80% ownership, to the owners of TPT Global, Inc. in exchange for all outstanding common stock of TPT Global Inc. and Ally Pharma agreed to change its name to TPT Global Tech, Inc. (jointly referred to as “the Company” or “TPTG”).
 
The following acquisitions have resulted in entities which have been consolidated into TPTG. In 2014 the Company acquired all the assets of K Telecom and Wireless LLC (“K Telecom”) and Global Telecom International LLC (“Global Telecom”). Effective January 31, 2015, TPTG completed its acquisition of 100% of the outstanding stock of Copperhead Digital Holdings, Inc. (“Copperhead Digital”) and Subsidiaries, TruCom, LLC (“TruCom”), Nevada Utilities, Inc. (“Nevada Utilities”) and CityNet Arizona, LLC (“CityNet”). Effective September 30, 2016, the company acquired 100% ownership in San Diego Media Inc. (“SDM”). In October 2017, we entered into agreements to acquire Blue Collar, Inc. (“Blue Collar”) which closed as of September 1, 2018. On May 7, 2019 we completed the acquisition of a majority of the assets of SpeedConnect, LLC, which assets were conveyed into our wholly owned subsidiary TPT SpeedConnect, LLC (“TPT SC” or “TPT SpeedConnect”) which was formed on April 16, 2019. On January 8, 2020 we formed TPT Federal, LLC (“TPT Federal”), on March 7, 2020 we acquired 75% interest in Bridget Internet, LLC (“Bridge Internet” or “BIC”). On March 30, 2020 we formed TPT MedTech, LLC (“TPT MedTech”) and on June 6, 2020 we formed InnovaQor, Inc (“InnovaQor”). In July and August 2020, the Company formed Quiklab 1 LLC, QuikLAB 2, LLC, QuikLAB 3, LLC and QuikLAB 4, LLC where TPT MedTech owns 80% (as agreed per the operating agreement) of all outside equity investments. Effective August 1, 2020 we closed on the acquisition of 75% of The Fitness Container, LLC (“Air Fitness”). In July 2020, we invested in a Hong Kong company called TPT Global Tech Asia Limited of which we own 78%, and during 2020, InnovaQor did a reverse merger with Southern Plains of which there ended up being a non controlling interest of 6% as of December 31, 2020. The name of InnovaQor remained for the merged entities but was changed to TPT Strategic, Inc. on March 21, 2021.
 
We are based in San Diego, California, and operate as a technology-based company with divisions providing telecommunications, medical technology and product distribution, media content for domestic and international syndication as well as technology solutions. We operate on our own proprietary Global Digital Media TV and Telecommunications infrastructure platform and also provide technology solutions to businesses domestically and worldwide. We offer Software as a Service (SaaS), Technology Platform as a Service (PAAS), Cloud-based Unified Communication as a Service (UCaaS) and carrier-grade performance and support for businesses over our private IP MPLS fiber and wireless network in the United States. Our cloud-based UCaaS services allow businesses of any size to enjoy all the latest voice, data, media and collaboration features in today's global technology markets. We also operate as a Master Distributor for Nationwide Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNO) and Independent Sales Organization (ISO) as a Master Distributor for Pre-Paid Cellphone services, Mobile phones, Cellphone Accessories and Global Roaming Cellphones.
 
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
Our consolidated financial statements include the wholly-owned accounts of K Telecom and Global, Copperhead Digital, SDM, Blue Collar, TPT SpeedConnect, TPT Federal, BIC, TPT MedTech, InnovaQor, Quiklab 1, QuikLAB 2, QuikLAB 3, QuikLAB 4, Aire Fitness and TPT Global Tech Asia Limited. The consolidated financial statements also give effects to non-controlling interests of the QuikLABs of 20%, Aire Fitness of 25%, TPT Global Tech Asia Limited of 22% and InnovaQor of 6%, where appropriate. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Reclassifications
 
Certain amounts presented in previously issued financial statements have been reclassified in these financial statements. During 2019, impairment expense of $949,872 was recorded in Other Income (Expense) in the statement of operations and has been reclassified to Operating Expenses to be consistent with the current period presentation.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
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”). We recorded the change, which was immaterial, related to adopting the new revenue standard using the modified retrospective method. Under this method, we recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying the new revenue standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. This results in no restatement of prior periods, which continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. We expect the impact of the adoption of the new revenue standard to continue to be immaterial on an ongoing basis. We have applied the new revenue standard to all contracts as of the date of initial application and as such, have used the following criteria described below in more detail for each business unit:
 
Identify the contract with the customer.
Identify the performance obligations in the contract.
Determine the transaction price.
Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract.
Recognize revenue when or as we satisfy a performance obligation.

Reserves are recorded as a reduction in net sales and are not considered material to our consolidated statements of income for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. In addition, we invoice our customers for taxes assessed by governmental authorities such as sales tax and value added taxes, where applicable. We present these taxes on a net basis.
 
The Company’s revenue generation for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 came from the following sources disaggregated by services and products, which sources are explained in detail below.

TPT SpeedConnect: ISP and Telecom Revenue
 
TPT SpeedConnect is a rural Internet provider operating in 10 Midwestern States under the trade name SpeedConnect. TPT SC’s primary business model is subscription based, pre-paid monthly reoccurring revenues, from wireless delivered, high-speed internet connections. In addition, the company resells third-party satellite and DSL internet and IP telephony services. Revenue generated from sales of telecommunications services is recognized as the transaction with the customer is considered closed and the customer receives and accepts the services that were the result of the transaction. There are no financing terms or variable transaction prices. Due date is detailed on monthly invoices distributed to customer. Services billed monthly in advance are deferred to the proper period as needed. Deferred revenue are contract liabilities for cash received before performance obligations for monthly services are satisfied. Deferred revenue for TPT SpeedConnect at December 31, 2020 and 2019 are $292,847 and $305,741, respectively. Certain of our products require specialized installation and equipment. For telecom products that include installation, if the installation meets the criteria to be considered a separate element, product revenue is recognized upon delivery, and installation revenue is recognized when the installation is complete. The Installation Technician collects the signed quote containing terms and conditions when installing the site equipment at customer premises.
 
Revenue for installation services and equipment is billed separately from recurring ISP and telecom services and is recognized when equipment is delivered and installation is completed. Revenue from ISP and telecom services is recognized monthly over the contractual period, or as services are rendered and accepted by the customer.
 
The overwhelming majority of our revenue continues to be recognized when transactions occur. Since installation fees are generally small relative to the size of the overall contract and because most contracts are for two years or less, the impact of not recognizing installation fees over the contract is immaterial.
 
Blue Collar: Media Production Services
 
Blue Collar creates original live action and animated content productions and has produced hundreds of hours of material for the television, theatrical, home entertainment and new media markets. Blue Collar designs branding and marketing campaigns and has had agreements with some of the world’s largest companies including PepsiCo, Intel, HP, WalMart and many other Fortune 500 companies. Additionally, they create motion picture, television and home entertainment marketing campaigns for studios including Sony, DreamWorks, Twentieth Century Fox, Universal Studios, Paramount Studios, and Warner Brothers. With regard to revenue recognition, Blue Collar receives an agreement from each client to perform defined work. Some agreements are written, some are verbal. Work may include creation of marketing materials and/or content creation. Some work may be short term and take weeks to create and some work may be longer and take months to create. There are instances where customer agreements segregate identifiable obligations (like filming on site vs. film editing and final production) with separate transaction pricing. The performance obligation is generally satisfied upon delivery of such film or production products, at which time revenue is recognized. There are no financing terms or variable transaction prices.
 
 
F-11
 
 
SDM: Ecommerce, Email Marketing and Web Design Services
 
SDM generates revenue by providing ecommerce, email marketing and web design solutions to small and large commercial businesses, complete with monthly software support, updates and maintenance. Services are billed monthly. There are no financing terms or variable transaction prices. Platform infrastructure support is a prepaid service billed in monthly recurring increments. The services are billed a month in advance and due prior to services being rendered. The revenue is deferred when invoiced and booked in the month the service is provided. There is no deferred revenue at December 31, 2020 and 2019. Software support services (including software upgrades) are billed in real time, on the first of the month. Web design service revenues are recognized upon completion of specific projects. Revenue is booked in the month the services are rendered and payments are due on the final day of the month. There are usually no contract revenues that are deferred until services are performed.
 
TPT MedTech: Medical Testing Revenue
 
TPT MedTech operates in the Point of Care Testing (“POCT”) market by primarily offering mobile medical testing facilities and software equipped for mobile devices to monitor and manage personalized healthcare. Services used from our mobile medical testing facilities are billing through credit cards at the time of service. Revenue is generated from our software platform as users sign up for our mobile healthcare monitor and management application and tests are performed. If medical testing is in one our own owned facility, the usage of the software application is included in the testing fees. If the testing is in a non-owned outside contracted facility, fees are generated from the usage of the software application on a per test basis and billed monthly.
 
 
TPT MedTech also offers two products. One is to build and sell its mobile testing facilities called QuikLABs designed for mobile testing. This is used by TPT MedTech for its own testing services. The other is a sanitizing unit called SANIQuik which is used as a safe and flexible way to sanitize providing an additional routine to hand washing and facial coverings. The SANIQuik has not yet been approved for sale in the United States but has in some parts of the European community. Revenues from these products are recognized when a product is delivered, the sales transaction considered closed and accepted by a customer. There are no financing terms or variable transaction prices for either of these products.
 
Copperhead Digital: ISP and Telecom Revenue
 
Copperhead Digital operated as a regional internet and telecom services provider operating in Arizona under the trade name Trucom. Although there are currently no customers and it will take capital to reopen this revenue stream, Copperhead Digital operated as a wireless telecommunications Internet Service Provider (“ISP”) facilitating both residential and commercial accounts. Copperhead Digital’s primary business model was subscription based, pre-paid monthly reoccurring revenues, from wireless delivered, high-speed internet connections. In addition, the company resold third-party satellite and DSL internet and IP telephony services. Revenue generated from sales of telecommunications services was recognized as the transaction with the customer is considered closed and the customer received and accepted the services that were the result of the transaction. There are no financing terms or variable transaction prices. Due date was detailed on monthly invoices distributed to customer. Services billed monthly in advance were deferred to the proper period as needed. Deferred revenue was contract liabilities for cash received before performance obligations for monthly services are satisfied. Certain of its products required specialized installation and equipment. For telecom products that included installation, if the installation met the criteria to be considered a separate element, product revenue was recognized upon delivery, and installation revenue was recognized when the installation was complete. The Installation Technician collected the signed quote containing terms and conditions when installing the site equipment at customer premises.
 
Revenue for installation services and equipment was billed separately from recurring ISP and telecom services and was recognized when equipment was delivered, and installation was completed. Revenue from ISP and telecom services was recognized monthly over the contractual period, or as services were rendered and accepted by the customer.
 
The overwhelming majority of revenue was recognized when transactions occurred. Since installation fees were generally small relative to the size of the overall contract and because most contracts were for a year or less, the impact of not recognizing installation fees over the contract was immaterial.

K Telecom: Prepaid Phones and SIM Cards Revenue
 
K Telecom generates revenue from reselling prepaid phones, SIM cards, and rechargeable minute traffic for prepaid phones to its customers (primarily retail outlets). Product sales occur at the customer’s locations, at which time delivery occurs and cash or check payment is received. The Company recognizes the revenue when they receive payment at the time of delivery. There are no financing terms or variable transaction prices.
 
Share-based Compensation
 
The Company is required to measure and recognize compensation expense for all share-based payment awards (including stock options) made to employees and directors based on estimated fair value. Compensation expense for equity-classified awards is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as an expense in earnings over the requisite service period.
 
The Company records compensation expense related to non-employees that are awarded stock in conjunction with selling goods or services and recognizes compensation expenses over the vesting period of such awards.
 
Income Taxes
 
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in our income tax provision in the period of enactment.
 
We recognize deferred tax assets to the extent that we believe that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations, including taxable income in carryback periods. If we determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, we would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce our income tax provision.
 
We account for uncertain tax positions using a “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold. We evaluate uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis and consider various factors, including, but not limited to, changes in tax law, the measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in tax returns, the effective settlement of matters subject to audit, new audit activity and changes in facts or circumstances related to a tax position.
 
It is our policy to record costs associated with interest and penalties related to tax in the selling, general and administrative line of the consolidated statements of operations.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
The Company considers all investments with a maturity date of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. There are no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.
 
Accounts Receivable
 
We establish an allowance for potential uncollectible accounts receivable. All accounts receivable 60 days past due are considered uncollectible unless there are circumstances that support collectability. Those circumstances are documented. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable was $762,815 and $881,676, respectively. Receivables are charged off when collection efforts cease.
 
Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment are stated at cost or fair value if acquired as part of a business combination. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method and is charged to operations over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. The carrying amount of accumulated depreciation of assets sold or retired are removed from the accounts in the year of disposal and any resulting gain or loss in s included in results of operations. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are telecommunications network - 5 years, telecommunications equipment - 7 to 10 years, and computers and office equipment - 3 years.
 
 
F-13
 
 
Goodwill
 
Goodwill relates to amounts that arose in connection with our various business combinations and represents the difference between the purchase price and the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible net assets when accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Goodwill is not amortized, but it is subject to periodic review for impairment.
 
We test goodwill balances for impairment on an annual basis as of December 31st or whenever impairment indicators arise. We utilize several reporting units in evaluating goodwill for impairment using a quantitative assessment, which uses a combination of a guideline public company market-based approach and a discounted cash flow income-based approach. The quantitative assessment considers whether the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, in which case an impairment charge is recorded to the extent the reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value. Based on our impairment testing, we recorded impairment charges of $853,366 and $70,995 of goodwill during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
 
Intangible Assets
 
Our intangible assets consist primarily of customer relationships, developed technology, favorable leases, trademarks and the film library. The majority of our intangible assets were recorded in connection with our various business combinations. Our intangible assets are recorded at fair value at the time of their acquisition. Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful life on a straight-line basis. Estimated useful lives are determined considering the period the assets are expected to contribute to future cash flows. We evaluate the recoverability of our intangible assets periodically and take into account events or circumstances that warrant revised estimates of useful lives or that indicate impairment exists.
 
Business Acquisitions
 
Our business acquisitions have historically been made at prices above the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, resulting in goodwill or some identifiable intangible asset. Significant judgment is required in estimating the fair value of intangible assets and in assigning their respective useful lives. The fair value estimates are based on available historical information and on future expectations and assumptions deemed reasonable by management but are inherently uncertain.
 
We generally employ the income method to estimate the fair value of intangible assets, which is based on forecasts of the expected future cash flows attributable to the respective assets. Significant estimates and assumptions inherent in the valuations reflect a consideration of other marketplace participants and include the amount and timing of future cash flows (including expected growth rates and profitability), the underlying product life cycles, economic barriers to entry, a brand’s relative market position and the discount rate applied to the cash flows. Unanticipated market or macroeconomic events and circumstances may occur, which could affect the accuracy or validity of the estimates and assumptions.
 
Net assets acquired are recorded at their fair value and are subject to adjustment upon finalization of the fair value analysis.  
 
Long-Lived Assets 
 
We periodically review the carrying amount of our depreciable long-lived assets for impairment which include property and equipment and intangible assets. An asset is considered impaired when estimated future cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset. In the event the carrying amount of such asset is not considered recoverable, the asset is adjusted to its fair value. Fair value is generally determined based on discounted future cash flow. As of December 31, 2020, we adjusted the net book value to zero for the net book value of the equipment of Copperhead Digital as it became doubtful with no customers that the estimated future cash flows would recover the net book value. We recorded impairment expenses of $1,849,630 and $878,877, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.
 
Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share
 
The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earning per Share”. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholder (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 December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had shares that were potentially common stock equivalents as follows:

Holder of the Series A Preferred Stock which is Stephen J. Thomas, is guaranteed 60% of the then outstanding common stock upon conversion. The Company would have to authorize additional shares for this to occur as only 1,000,000,000 shares are currently authorized.
 
Concentration of Credit Risk, Off-Balance Sheet Risks and Other Risks and Uncertainties
 
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentration of credit risk primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. We invest our excess cash primarily in high quality securities and limit the amount of our credit exposure to any one financial institution. We do not require collateral or other securities to support customer receivables; however, we perform on-going credit evaluations of our customers and maintain allowances for potential credit losses.
 
As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, two customer accounts receivable balances were 78% and 91%, respectively, of our aggregate accounts receivable from revenues.
 
Financial Instruments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
Our primary financial instruments at December 31, 2020 and 2019 consisted of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and debt. We apply fair value measurement accounting to either record or disclose the value of our financial assets and liabilities in our financial statements. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. A fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available, and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
 
Described below are the three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
 
Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
Level 2 Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
 
Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
 
We consider our derivative financial instruments as Level 3. The balances for our derivative financial instruments as of December 31, 2020 are the following:

Research and Development
 
Our research and development programs focus on telecommunications products and services. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Any payments received from external parties to fund our research and development activities reduce the recorded research and development expenses.
 
 
F-15
 
 
Advertising Costs
 
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. The Company incurred advertising costs of zero for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The Company’s consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that management believes are necessary for the fair presentation of their financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented.
 
Derivative Financial Instruments
 
Derivative financial instruments, as defined in ASC 815, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities”, consist of financial instruments or other contracts that contain a notional amount and one or more underlying (e.g. interest rate, security price or other variable), require no initial net investment and permit net settlement. Derivative financial instruments may be free-standing or embedded in other financial instruments. Further, derivative financial instruments are initially, and subsequently, measured at fair value and recorded as liabilities or, in rare instances, assets.
 
The Company does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to cash-flow, market or foreign-currency risks. However, the Company had issued financial instruments including convertible promissory notes payable with features during 2019 that were either (i) not afforded equity classification, (ii) embody risks not clearly and closely related to host contracts, or (iii) may be net-cash settled by the counterparty. As required by ASC 815, in certain instances, these instruments are required to be carried as derivative liabilities, at fair value, in our financial statements. 
 
The Company estimates the fair values of derivative financial instruments using the Monte Carlo model. Estimating fair values of derivative financial instruments requires the development of significant and subjective estimates (such as volatility, estimated life and interest rates) that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with related changes in internal and external market factors. In addition, option-based techniques are highly volatile and sensitive to changes in the trading market price of our common stock, which has a high-historical volatility. Since derivative financial instruments are initially and subsequently carried at fair values, the Company’s operating results will reflect the volatility in these estimate and assumption changes.
 
The Company issued convertible promissory notes which are convertible into common stock, at holders’ option, at a discount to the market price of the Company’s common stock. The Company has identified the embedded derivatives related to these notes relating to certain anti-dilutive (reset) provisions. These embedded derivatives included certain conversion features. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record fair value of the derivatives as of the inception date of debenture and to fair value as of each subsequent reporting date.
 
As of December 31, 2020, the Company marked to market the fair value of the debt derivatives and determined a fair value of $5,265,139 ($5,229,436 from the convertible notes and $35,703 from the warrants) in Note 6. The Company recorded a gain from change in fair value of debt derivatives of $1,140,323 for the year ended December 31, 2020. The fair value of the embedded derivatives was determined using Monte Carlo simulation method based on the following assumptions: (1) dividend yield of 0%, (2) expected volatility of 190.9% to 350.8%, (3) weighted average risk-free interest rate of 0.09% to 0.12% (4) expected life of 0.25 to 1.4 years, and (5) the quoted market price of $0.03 for the Company’s common stock.
 
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
 
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which amends ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. This ASU requires that most of the guidance related to stock compensation granted to employees be followed for non-employees, including the measurement date, valuation approach, and performance conditions. The expense is recognized in the same period as though cash were paid for the good or service. The effective date is the first quarter of fiscal year 2020, with early adoption permitted, including in interim periods. The ASU has been adopted using a modified-retrospective transition approach. The adoption is not considered to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
  
Management has reviewed other recently issued accounting pronouncements and have determined there are not any that would have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 – ACQUISITIONS
 
SpeedConnect Asset Acquisition
 
Effective April 2, 2019, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with SpeedConnect, LLC (“SpeedConnect”) to acquire substantially all of the assets of SpeedConnect. On May 7, 2019, the Company closed the transaction underlying the Asset Purchase Agreement with SpeedConnect to acquire substantially all of the assets of SpeedConnect for $2 million and the assumption of certain liabilities. The Asset Purchase Agreement required a deposit of $500,000 made in April and an additional $500,000 payment to close. The additional $500,000 was paid and all other conditions were met to effectuate the sale of substantially all of the assets of SpeedConnect to the Company. As part of the closing, the Company entered into a Promissory Note to pay SpeedConnect $1,000,000 in two equal installments of $500,000 plus applicable interest at 10% per annum with the first installment payable within 30 days of closing and the second installment payable within 60 days of closing (but no later than July 6, 2019). The Company paid off the Promissory Note by June 11, 2019 and by amendment dated May 7, 2019, SpeedConnect forgave $250,000 of the Promissory Note.
 
The Company treated the asset acquisition as a business combination and has allocated the fair market value to assets received in excess of goodwill.

EPIC Reference Labs, Inc. Acquisition
 
On August 6, 2020, TPT MedTech signed a binding letter of intent with Rennova to acquire EPIC Reference Labs, Inc. (“EPIC”), wholly owned subsidiary of Rennova, for $750,000, comprised of a deposit of $25,000 within five days of signing and the remainder due either from 20% of net proceeds received from fund raising that the Company had initiated and as evidenced by SEC Filings or a minimum payment of $25,000 per month until paid in full. The first $25,000 payment was made and was accounted for as a deposit in the consolidated balance sheet. All defined laboratory equipment and a $100,000 lease deposit were to be excluded from the sales price. All liabilities incurred up to signing were to be discharged. Receivables existing at signing were to be 100% ownership of Rennova. There were no other significant assets. This acquisition would allow TPT MedTech to own a license to operate medical testing facilities.
 
TPT MedTech and Rennova subsequently agreed that the acquisition would be of an asset acquisition of substantially all of the assets of EPIC instead of acquiring the stock of EPIC, but that all other terms were to be consistent with the binding letter of intent. Until the change of ownership of the assets was complete, Rennova started operating the laboratory under a management agreement dated August 6, 2020 between TPT MedTech, LLC and Rennova. There are approximately $19,000 of expenses in our consolidated statement of operations under the management agreement.
 
Subsequently, TPT MedTech decided that it would not acquire the assets of EPIC and terminated its relationship with EPIC. The $25,000 deposit was then expensed to the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020.
 
Rennova Acquisition Agreement
 
Effective December 31, 2020, the Company completed its acquisition agreement (“Rennova Acquisition Agreement”) with Rennova Health, Inc. (“Rennova”), an owner and operator of rural hospitals in Tennessee, and InnovaQor, to merge Rennova’s software and genetic testing interpretation divisions, Health Technology Solutions, Inc. (HTS) and Advanced Molecular Services Group, Inc., (AMSG) and their subsidiaries into InnovaQor. After closing, these entities were to operate as wholly owned subsidiaries of InnovaQor which then would have been controlled by Rennova. Closing was subject to a number of customary conditions for a transaction of this nature and was intended to happen on or before January 31, 2020.
 
InnovaQor had previously completed a license agreement giving it certain rights to assets and technology from the Company’s proprietary live streaming communication technology. As part of the license agreement InnovaQor and TPT had agreed on a development project to create a next generation telehealth type platform. It was intended to combine the TPT and Rennova assets and technology into a smart phone and computer accessible healthcare platform to facilitate a patient’s immediate access to healthcare and their local hospital or doctors office, for initial consultation, scheduling of appointments and follow on care and other added value services that may be one off or recurring.
 
Rennova had agreed to complete the necessary steps and SEC filings with the intent to facilitate TPT shareholders receiving approximately 2,500,000 shares in InnovaQor, and Rennova’s shareholders receiving approximately $5M of Preference shares which were be converted to common shares. As described in the Rennova Acquisition Agreement, TPT, or its assigns, was to retain direct ownership of a further 3,500,000 shares and Rennova and retain ownership of an additional $17.5M of preference shares with certain conversion rights and restrictions, making it the contolling entity of InnovaQor.
 
Rennova terminated the Rennova Acquisition Agreement effective March 5, 2021 and the Company agreed to this termination with both parties not able to come to agreement of final terms.
 
InnovaQor Merger with Southern Plains
 
On August 1, 2020, InnovaQor, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Merger Agreement with the publicly traded company Southern Plains Oil Corp. (OTC PINK: SPLN prior to Merger Agreement). The SPLN Merger moved the Company’s subsidiary InnovaQor one step closer to completing a recently executed Asset Purchase Agreement with Rennova Health, Inc. The Merger also positioned InnovaQor to trade on the OTC Market, which InnovaQor is now traded under INOQ. The Company was to receive 6,000,000 common shares as part of the Merger Agreement out of a total of 6,400,667 common shares outstanding.
 
During August, InnovaQor authorized a Series A Super Majority Preferred Stock valued at $350,000 by management and issued to a third party in exchange for legal services. Effective September 30, 2020, the Series A Super Majority Preferred Stock was exchanged with TPT for a note payable of $350,000 payable in cash or common stock (see Note 5(1)). As such, as of September 30, 2020, the Company, for accounting purposes, took control of the merged InnovaQor and reflected in it’s consolidated balance the consolidated balance sheet of InnovaQor which assets and liabilities were di minimus. The merger was a reverse merger with Southern Plains of which there ended up being a non controlling interest of 6% as of December 31, 2020. The name of InnovaQor remained for the merged entities but was changed to TPT Strategic, Inc. on March 21, 2021.

A License Agreement that was originally signed between the Company and InnovaQor for software development but rescinded March 30, 2021 and the issuance of 6,000,000 shares of common stock were cancelled.
 
Bridge Internet Acquisition
 
On March 6, 2020, the Company executed an Acquisition and Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”) dated March 6, 2020 with Bridge Internet, LLC (“Bridge Internet”), a Delaware Limited Liability Company. On December 23, 2020, the Company and prior owner agreed to terminate the agreement.
 
The Agreement stated that the Company had acquired 75% of Bridge Internet for 8,000,000 shares of common stock of TPT Global Tech, Inc., 4,000,000 common shares issued to Sydney “Trip” Camper immediately and 4,000,000 common shares would vest equally over two years. As sufficient funding was raised by the Company, defined as approximately $3,000,000, marketing funds of up to $200,000 per quarter for the next year were to be provided. Sydney “Trip” Camper, would retain the remaining 25% of Bridge Internet and stay on as the CEO. This Agreement was terminated as if there were no agreement. Any monies paid as contractor payments by the Company are to be maintained and the Company is to have no liabilities related to Bridge Internet of any sort.
 
NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.
 
Cash flows generated from operating activities were not enough to support all working capital requirements for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. Financing activities described below have helped with working capital and other capital requirements.
 
We incurred $8,119,268 and $14,028,165, respectively, in losses, and we used $489,573 and $328,251, respectively, in cash for operations for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. We calculate the net cash used by operating activities by decreasing, or increasing in case of gain, our let loss by those items that do not require the use of cash such as depreciation, amortization, promissory note issued for research and development, note payable issued for legal fees, derivative expense or gain, gain on extinguishment of debt, loss on conversion of notes payable, impairment of goodwill and long-loved assts and share-based compensation which totaled to a net $5,378,277 for 2020 and $13,091,764 for 2019.
 
In addition, we report increases and reductions in liabilities as uses of cash and deceases assets and increases in liabilities as sources of cash, together referred to as changes in operating assets and liabilities. For the year ended December 31, 2020, we had a net increase in our assets and liabilities of $2,251,418 primarily from an increase in accounts payable from lag of payments for accounts payable for cash flow considerations and an increase in the balances from our operating lease liabilities. For the year ended December 31, 2019 we had a net increase to our assets and liabilities of $608,150 for similar reasons.
 
Cash flows from financing activities were $817,608 and $1,390,538 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. For the year ended December 30, 2020, these cash flows were generated primarily from proceeds from proceeds from sale of non-controlling interests in QuikLABS of $460,000, proceeds from convertible notes, loans and advances of $1,753,204 offset by payment on convertible loans, advances and factoring agreements of $1,169,330 and payments on convertible notes and amounts payable – related parties of $212,256. For the year ended December 31, 2019, cash flows from financing activities primarily came from proceeds from convertible notes, loans and advances of $2,613,047 offset by payments on convertible loans, advances and factoring agreements of $1,440,139.
 
Cash flows used in investing activities were $500,898 and $901,901, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. For the year ended December 31, 2020 these cash flows were used primarily for the acquisition of property and equipment of $424,560 and the purchase of intangibles of $76,798. For the year ended December 31, 2019 cash flows for investing activities were used to acquire property and equipment and the payment for business acquisitions.
 
These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
In December 2019, COVID-19 emerged and has subsequently spread worldwide. The World Health Organization has declared COVID-19 a pandemic resulting in federal, state and local governments and private entities mandating various restrictions, including travel restrictions, restrictions on public gatherings, stay at home orders and advisories and quarantining of people who may have been exposed to the virus. After close monitoring and responses and guidance from federal, state and local governments, in an effort to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, around March 18, 2020 for a period of time, the Company closed its Blue Collar office in Los Angeles and its TPT SpeedConnect offices in Michigan, Idaho and Arizona.  Most employees were working remotely, however this is not possible with certain employees and all subcontractors that work for Blue Collar. The Company continues to monitor developments, including government requirements and recommendations at the national, state, and local level to evaluate possible extensions to all or part of such closures.
 
The Company has taken advantage of the stimulus offerings and received $722,200 in April 2020 and $680,500 in February 2021 and believes it has used these funds as is prescribed by the stimulus offerings to have the entire amounts forgiven. The Company has applied for forgiveness of the original stimulus of $722,200. The forgiveness process for stimulus funded in February 2021 has not begun. The Company will try and take advantage of additional stimulus as it is available and is also in the process of trying to raise debt and equity financing, some of which may have to be used for working capital shortfalls if revenues continue to decline because of the COVID-19 closures. 
 
In order for us to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements, we will need to obtain additional debt or equity financing and look for companies with cash flow positive operations that we can acquire. There can be no assurance that we will be able to secure additional debt or equity financing, that we will be able to acquire cash flow positive operations, or that, if we are successful in any of those actions, those actions will produce adequate cash flow to enable us to meet all our future obligations. Most of our existing financing arrangements are short-term. If we are unable to obtain additional debt or equity financing, we may be required to significantly reduce or cease operations.

  4,423,148 
 
Depreciation expense was $1,054,702 and $591,069 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company had a change in useful life for its telecommunications fiber and equipment related to Copperhead Digital resulting from managements evaluation of its remaining useful life in light of the decrease in revenues for which it was being used. The useful life was decreased from its original 20 years when it was acquired in 2015 to five years. Subsequently, as of December 31, 2020, management adjusted the net book value of this equipment to zero as it became doubtful with no customers that the estimated future cash flows would recover the net book value. This resulted in an expense for impairment of $1,849,630 to the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020.

$722,220 represents loans under the COVID-19 Pandemic Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) originated in April of 2020. The Company believes that it has used the funds such that 100% will be forgiven. The applications for forgiveness have been submitted to the Small Business Administration.

On June 4, 2019, the Company consummated a Securities Purchase Agreement with Odyssey Capital Funding, LLC. (“Odyssey”) for the purchase of a $525,000 Convertible Promissory Note (“Odyssey Convertible Promissory Note”). The Odyssey Convertible Promissory Note was due June 3, 2020, paid interest at the rate of 12% (24% default) per annum and gave the holder the right from time to time, and at any time during the period beginning six months from the issuance date to convert all of the outstanding balance into common stock of the Company limited to 4.99% of the outstanding common stock of the Company. The conversion price was 55% multiplied by the average of the two lowest trading prices for the common stock during the previous 20 trading days prior to the applicable conversion date. The Odyssey Convertible Promissory Note could be prepaid in full at 125% to 145% up to 180 days from origination. Through June 3, 2020, Odyssey converted $49,150 of principal and $4,116 of accrued interest into 52,961,921 shares of common stock of the Company. On June 8, 2020, Odyssey agreed to convert the remaining principal and accrued interest balance on the Odyssey Convertible Promissory Note of $475,850 and $135,000, respectively, to a term loan payable in six months in the form of a balloon payment, earlier if the Company has a funding event, bearing simple interest on the unpaid balance of 0% for the first three months and then 10% per annum thereafter. This loan is in default. The Company is negotiating with Odyssey for repayment.
 
Effective September 30, 2020, we entered into a Purchase Agreement by which we agreed to purchase the 500,000 outstanding Series A Preferred shares of InnovaQor, Inc., our majority owned subsidiary, in an agreed amount of $350,000 in cash or common stock, if not paid in cash, at the five day average price preceding the date of the request for effectiveness after the filing of a registration statement on Form S-1. This was modified December 28 and 29, 2020, to provide for registration of 7,500,000 common shares for resale at the market price. Any balance due on notes will be calculated after an accounting for the net sales proceeds from sale of the stock by February 28, 2021 and may be paid in cash or stock thereafter. The Series A Preferred shares are being purchased from the Michael A. Littman, Atty. Defined Benefit Plan. The $350,000 is included as a Note Payable as of December 31, 2020 and bears no interest.
 
The remaining balances generally bear interest at approximately 10%, have maturity dates that are due on demand or are past due, are unsecured and are classified as current in the balance sheets.
 
(2) During 2017, the Company issued convertible promissory notes in the amount of $67,000 (comprised of $62,000 from two related parties and $5,000 from a former officer of CDH), all which were due May 1, 2020 and bear 6% annual interest (12% default interest rate). The convertible promissory notes are convertible, as amended, at $0.25 per share. These convertible promissory notes were not repaid May 1, 2020, and are delinquent. The Company is working to renegotiate these promissory notes.
 
During 2019, the Company consummated Securities Purchase Agreements dated March 15, 2019, April 12, 2019, May 15, 2019, June 6, 2019 and August 22, 2019 with Geneva Roth Remark Holdings, Inc. (“Geneva Roth”) for the purchase of convertible promissory notes in the amounts of $68,000, $65,000, $58,000, $53,000 and $43,000 (“Geneva Roth Convertible Promissory Notes”).

NOTE 6 – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
The Company previously adopted the provisions of ASC subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825-10”). ASC 825-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. ASC 825-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
 
The derivative liability as of December 31, 2020, in the amount of $5,265,139 has a level 3 classification under ASC 825-10.
 
The following table provides a summary of changes in fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities as of December 31, 2020.

Convertible notes payable and warrant derivatives – The Company issued convertible promissory notes which are convertible into common stock, at holders’ option, at a discount to the market price of the Company’s common stock. The Company has identified the embedded derivatives related to these notes relating to certain anti-dilutive (reset) provisions. These embedded derivatives included certain conversion features. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record fair value of the derivatives as of the inception date of debenture and to fair value as of each subsequent reporting date.
 
As of December 31, 2020, the Company marked to market the fair value of the debt derivatives and determined a fair value of $5,265,139 comprised of $5,229,436 from the convertible notes (Note 5) and $35,703 from the warrants (Note 8). The Company recorded a gain from change in fair value of debt derivatives of $1,140,323 for the year ended December 31, 2020. The fair value of the embedded derivatives was determined using Monte Carlo simulation method based on the following assumptions: (1) dividend yield of 0%, (2) expected volatility of 190.9% to 350.8%, (3) weighted average risk-free interest rate of 0.09% to 0.12% (4) expected life of 0.25 to 1.4 years, and (5) the quoted market price of $0.03 for the Company’s common stock.

Common Stock Issued Subsequent to December 31, 2020
 
Effective September 30, 2020, we entered into a Purchase Agreement by which we agreed to purchase the 500,000 outstanding Series A Preferred shares of InnovaQor, Inc., our majority owned subsidiary, in an agreed amount of $350,000 in cash or common stock, if not paid in cash, at the five day average price preceding the date of the request for effectiveness after the filing of a registration statement on Form S-1. This was modified December 28 and 29, 2020, to provide for registration of 7,500,000 common shares for resale at the market price. Any balance due on notes will be calculated after an accounting for the net sales proceeds from sale of the stock by February 28, 2021 and may be paid in cash or stock thereafter. The Series A Preferred shares are being purchased from the Michael A. Littman, Atty. Defined Benefit Plan.
 
Effective September 30, 2020, we entered into a Settlement Agreement to settle outstanding legal fees due to date in the amount of $74,397 (as assigned to the Michael A. Littman Atty. Defined Benefit Plan.) The number of shares to be issued in consideration is to be computed at the five day average price as specified under Rule 474 under the Securities Act of 1933 for the 5 days preceding the date of the request for acceleration of the effective date of this registration of our common shares to be issued. (This may also be fully settled by payment of the sum of $74,397 in cash at any time prior to the issuance of the shares of stock of the Company.) This was modified December 28 and 29, 2020, to provide for registration of 7,500,000 common shares for resale at the market price. Any balance due on notes will be calculated after an accounting for the net sales proceeds from sale of the stock by February 28, 2021 and may be paid in cash or stock thereafter.
 
The 7,500,000 shares identified in these agreements with Mr. Littman were issued subsequent to December 31, 2020 and included in a Form S-1 filed in January 2021. To date, we understand the shares have not been sold and thus there is no calculated shortfall as outlined above.

During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company entered into consulting arrangements primarily for legal work and general business support that included the issuance of stock options to purchase 3,000,000 options to purchase common shares at $0.10 per share. 2,000,000 of these expired. The remaining 1,000,000 are fully vested as of December 31, 2020 but expired after year end. The Black-Scholes options pricing model was used to value the stock options. The inputs included the following:
 
(1)
 Dividend yield of 0%
(2)
 expected annual volatility of 307% - 311%
(3)
 discount rate of 2.2% to 2.3%
(4)
 expected life of 2 years, and
(5)
 estimated fair value of the Company’s common $0.125 to $0.155 per share.
 
Additionally, 93,120 options expired in 2019. Expense recorded in the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $0 and $0 related to stock options. No further expense will be incurred to the consolidated statement of operations for the existing stock options.
 
Warrants
 
As of December 31, 2020, there were 3,333,333 warrants outstanding that expire in five years or in the year ended December 31, 2024. As part of the Convertible Promissory Notes payable – third party issuance in Note 5, the Company issued 3,333,333 warrants to purchase 3,333,333 common shares of the Company at 70% of the current market price. Current market price means the average of the three lowest trading prices for our common stock during the ten-trading day period ending on the latest complete trading day prior to the date of the respective exercise notice. However, if a required registration statement, registering the underlying shares of the Convertible Promissory Notes, is declared effective on or before June 11, 2019 to September 11, 2019, then, while such Registration Statement is effective, the current market price shall mean the lowest volume weighted average price for our common stock during the ten-trading day period ending on the last complete trading day prior to the conversion date.
 
The warrants issued were considered derivative liabilities valued at $35,703 of the total $5,265,436 derivative liabilities as of December 31, 2020. See Note 6.

Non-Controlling Interests
 
QuikLAB Mobile Laboratories
 
In July and August 2020, the Company formed Quiklab 1 LLC, QuikLAB 2, LLC, QuikLAB 3, LLC and QuikLAB 4, LLC. It is the intent to use these entities as vehicles into which third parties would invest and participate in owning QuikLAB Mobile Laboratories. As of December 31, 2020, Quiklab 1 LLC, QuikLAB 2, LLC and QuikLAB 3, LLC have received an investment of $460,000, of which Stephen Thomas and Rick Eberhardt, CEO and COO of the Company, have invested $100,000 in QuikLAB 2, LLC. The third party investors and Mr. Thomas and Mr. Eberhart, will benefit from owning 20% of QuikLAB Mobile Laboratories specific to their investments. The Company owns the other 80% ownership in the QuickLAB Mobile Laboratories. The net loss attributed to the non-controlling interests from the QuikLAB Mobile Laboratories included in the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 is $30,536.
 
 
F-30
 
 
Other Non-Controlling Interests
 
InnovaQor, Aire Fitness and TPT Asia are other non-controlling interests in which the Company owns 94%, 75% and 78%, respectively. There is very little activity in any of these entities. The net loss attributed to these non-controlling interests included in the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 is $16,881.
 
InnovaQor did a reverse merger with Southern Plains of which there ended up being a non-controlling interest ownership of 6% as of December 31, 2020. As a result, $219,058 in the non-controlling interest in liabilities of a license agreement valued at $3,500,000 was reflected in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020.

Operating lease obligations
 
The Company adopted Topic 842 on January 1, 2019. The Company elected to adopt this standard using the optional modified retrospective transition method and recognized a cumulative-effect adjustment to the consolidated balance sheet on the date of adoption. Comparative periods have not been restated. With the adoption of Topic 842, the Company’s consolidated balance sheet now contains the following line items: Operating lease right-of-use assets, Current portion of operating lease liabilities and Operating lease liabilities, net of current portion.
 
As all the existing leases subject to the new lease standard were previously classified as operating leases by the Company, they were similarly classified as operating leases under the new standard. The Company has determined that the identified operating leases did not contain non-lease components and require no further allocation of the total lease cost. Additionally, the agreements in place did not contain information to determine the rate implicit in the leases, so we used our estimated incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. Our weighted average discount rate is 10.0% and the weighted average lease term of 4.2 years.
 
We have various non-cancelable lease agreements for certain of our tower locations with original lease periods expiring between 2021 and 2044. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain we will exercise that option. Certain of the arrangements contain escalating rent payment provisions. Our Michigan main office lease and an equipment lease described below and leases with an initial term of twelve months have not been recorded on the consolidated balance sheets. We recognize rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
 
As of December 31, 2020, operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities arising from operating leases were $4,732,459 and $5,555,674, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2020, cash paid for amounts included for the measurement of lease liabilities was $2,506,924 and the Company recorded lease expense in the amount of $2,846,068 in cost of sales.

Other Commitments and Contingencies
 
Employment Agreements

F-32
 
 
Litigation
 
We have been named in a lawsuit by EMA Financial, LLC (“EMA”) for failing to comply with a Securities Purchase Agreement entered into in June 2019. More specifically, EMA claims the Company failed to honor notices of conversion, failed to establish and maintain share reserves, failed to register EMA shares and by failed to assure that EMA shares were Rule 144 eligible within 6 months. EMA has claimed in excess of $7,614,967 in relief. The Company has filed a motion in response for which EMA has filed a motion to dismiss. The Company does not believe at this time that any negative outcome would result in more than the $593,120 it has recorded on its balance sheet as of December 31, 2020.
 
A lawsuit was filed in Michigan by the one of the former owners of SpeedConnect, LLC, John Ogren.   Mr. Ogren claims he is owed back wages related to the acquisition agreement wherein the Company acquired the assets of SpeedConnect, LLC and kept him on through a consulting agreement.  He ultimately resigned in writing and now claims that even though he resigned he should still have been paid.  Mr. Ogren is claiming wages of $354,178 plus interest, fees and costs.  The consulting agreement called for arbitration.  We understand that Mr. Ogren is in the process of dismissing the lawsuit and that he wants to pursue his claim through arbitration.   Management does not believe the Company has any liability in this claim and will pursue its defenses vigorously.
 
The Company has been named in a lawsuit, Robert Serrett vs. TruCom, Inc., by a former employee who was terminated by management in 2016. The employee was working under an employment agreement but was terminated for breach of the agreement. The former employee is suing for breach of contract and is seeking around $75,000 in back pay and benefits. We recently learned that Mr. Serrett received a default judgement in Texas on May 15, 2018 for $70,650 plus $3,500 in attorney fees and 5% interest and court costs.  However, he has made no attempt that we are aware of to obtain a sister state judgment in Arizona, where Trucom resides, or to try and enforce the judgement and collect.  Management believes it has good and meritorious defenses and does not belief the outcome of the lawsuit will have any material effect on the financial position of the Company.  
 
We are not currently involved in any litigation that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our company or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting our company, our common stock, any of our subsidiaries or of our companies or our subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect. We anticipate that we (including current and any future subsidiaries) will from time to time become subject to claims and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. It is not feasible to predict the outcome of any such proceedings and we cannot assure that their ultimate disposition will not have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.
 
Customer Contingencies
 
The Company has collected $338,725 from one customer in excess of amounts due from that customer in accordance with the customer’s understanding of the appropriate billings activity. The customer has filed a written demand for repayment by the Company of these amounts. Management believes that the customer agreement allows them to keep the amounts under dispute. Given the dispute, the Company has reflected the amounts in dispute as a customer liability on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.
 
Stock Contingencies
 
The Company issued 7,500,000 shares of stock to Mr. Littman in accordance with its December 28 and 29, 2020 agreements as described in Note 8. These shares were included in a Form S-1 filed by the Company on January 15, 2021. To date, we understand the shares have not been sold and thus there is no calculated shortfall as outlined in Note 8, but this may happen, which shortfall, if it occurs, is unknown at this time.
 
 
F-33
 
 
The Company has convertible debt, preferred stock, options and warrants outstanding for which common shares would be required to be issued upon exercise by the holders. As of December 31, 2020, the following shares would be issued:
 
Convertible Promissory Notes
  175,316,748

  1,426,226,398 
_______________
(1) Holder of the Series A Preferred Stock which is Stephen J. Thomas, is guaranteed 60% of the then outstanding common stock upon conversion. The Company would have to authorize additional shares for this to occur as only 1,000,000,000 shares are currently authorized.
 
During the fourth quarter of 2020, the related party holders of approximately $4,700,000 of existing financing arrangements agreed to exchange their debt and accrued interest for Series D Preferred Stock through a separate $12 Million Private Placement, conditioned on the Company raising at least $12,000,000 in a separate Form 1-A Offering.
 
Part of the consideration in the acquisition of Aire Fitness was the issuance of 500,000 restricted common shares of the Company vesting and issuable after the common stock reaches at least a $1.00 per share closing price in trading. To date, this has not occurred but may happen in the future upon which the Company will issue 500,000 common shares to the non-controlling interest owners of Aire Fitness.

NOTE 13 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
Stock Issuance
 
The Company issued 7,500,000 shares of stock to Mr. Littman in accordance with its December 28 and 29, 2020 agreements as described in Note 8. These shares were included in a Form S-1 filed by the Company on January 15, 2021. To date, we understand the shares have not been sold and thus there is no calculated shortfall as outlined in Note 8.
 
On April 5, the Company granted 1,500,000 restricted commons shares to a consultant as a bonus for services rendered. The Company will record $44,100 as expense in the statement of operations during the year ended December 31, 2021 represented the calculation fair value on the date of grant.
 
COVID-19
 
The Company has taken advantage of the stimulus offerings and received $722,200 in April 2020 and $680,500 in February 2021 and believes it has used these funds as is prescribed by the stimulus offerings to have the entire amounts forgiven. The Company has applied for forgiveness of the original stimulus of $722,200. The forgiveness process for stimulus funded in February 2021 has not begun. The Company will try and take advantage of additional stimulus as it is available and is also in the process of trying to raise debt and equity financing, some of which may have to be used for working capital shortfalls if revenues continue to decline because of the COVID-19 closures.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
 
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS & PROCEDURES
 
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
In connection with this annual report, as required by Rule 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our company's disclosure controls and procedures. Under the supervision of our Board of Directors, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, acting as our principal executive officer and principal financial officer respectively, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019 based on the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013), our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2020. Subject to the inherent limitations noted in this Part II, Item 9A as of December 31, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the existence of material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting as discussed below. It is management's responsibility to establish and maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting.
 
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding our internal control over financial reporting. Management's report on internal control over financial reporting was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the SEC because we are neither an accelerated filer nor a larger accelerated filer.
 
We have implemented a framework used by management to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, which incorporates a quarterly review by our Board of Directors of the recording of transactions and whether questions of accuracy and authorization may arise as the accounting may be reviewed by our auditors.
 
Our Management's assessment of the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting as of the end of the most recent fiscal year, including a statement as to whether or not internal control over financial reporting is effective is contained in the section immediately following this paragraph.
 
MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
 
It is Management's responsibility to establish and maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting. The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our Company's management considered to be material weaknesses and may have been ineffective under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) lack of a functioning audit committee and lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; (3) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; and (4) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes.
 
Management has assessed the effectiveness of its internal controls over financial reporting at the end of the most recent fiscal year and has determined several weaknesses and has determined that its internal controls have not been effective due, in part, to lack of full-time financial accounting professionals.
 
Management believes that the material weaknesses and ineffectiveness set forth in items (2), (3) and (4) above did not have an affect on our Company's financial results. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and lack of a majority of outside directors on our Company's board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures may result in our Company's financial statements for the future years being subject to error and inaccurate if controls, procedures, and professional financial officers are not maintained.
 
 
67
 
 
We are committed to improving our financial organization. As part of this commitment, we intend to create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and intend to increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function when funds are available to our Company: i) Appointing one or more outside directors to our board of directors who shall be appointed to the audit committee of our Company resulting in a fully functioning audit committee who will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; and ii) preparing and implementing sufficient written policies and checklists which will set forth procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements.
 
Management believes that the appointment of one or more outside directors, who shall be appointed to a fully functioning audit committee, will remedy the lack of a functioning audit committee and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our Company's Board. In addition, management believes that preparing and implementing sufficient written policies and checklists will remedy the following material weaknesses (i) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; and (ii) ineffective controls over period end financial close and reporting processes. Further, management believes that the hiring of additional personnel who have the technical expertise and knowledge will result proper segregation of duties and provide more checks and balances within the department. Additional personnel will also provide the cross training needed to support our Company if personnel turn over issues within the department occur. This coupled with the appointment of additional outside directors will greatly decrease any control and procedure issues our Company may encounter in the future.
 
Due to insufficient funds during the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company has been unable to implement many of the remedies to the ineffective oversight. The Company will continue to implement the changes as laid out above as soon as funds are available to the Company.
 
We will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.

Below is a summary of current terms for our three executives which is, for the most part, an extension of their prior employment agreements, as well as those consulting agreements for the outside directors. The prior employment agreements were approved by our board based upon recommendations conducted by the board.

Limitation on Liability and Indemnification
 
We are a Florida corporation. The Florida Revised Statutes provide that the articles of incorporation of a Florida corporation may contain a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to the corporation or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except that any such provision may not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or our stockholders, (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) acts specified in Section 78 (concerning unlawful distributions), or (iv) any transaction from which a director directly or indirectly derived an improper personal benefit. Our articles of incorporation contain a provision eliminating the personal liability of directors to our company’ or our stockholders for monetary damages to the fullest extent provided by the Florida Revised Statutes.
 
The Florida Revised Statutes provides that a Florida corporation must indemnify a person who was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defense of any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative and whether formal or informal (a “Proceeding”), in which he or she was a party because the person is or was a director, against reasonable expenses incurred by him or her in connection with the Proceeding, unless such indemnity is limited by the corporation’s articles of incorporation. Our articles of incorporation do not contain any such limitation.
 
 
76
 
 
The Florida Revised Statutes provide that a Florida corporation may indemnify a person made a party to a Proceeding because the person is or was a director against any obligation incurred with respect to a Proceeding to pay a judgment, settlement, penalty, fine (including an excise tax assessed with respect to an employee benefit plan) or reasonable expenses incurred in the Proceeding if the person conducted himself or herself in good faith and the person reasonably believed, in the case of conduct in an official capacity with the corporation, that the person’s conduct was in the corporation’s best interests and, in all other cases, his or her conduct was at least not opposed to the corporation’s best interests and, with respect to any criminal proceedings, the person had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. Our articles of incorporation and bylaws allow for such indemnification. A corporation may not indemnify a director in connection with any Proceeding by or in the right of the corporation in which the director was adjudged liable to the corporation or, in connection with any other Proceeding charging that the director derived an improper personal benefit, whether or not involving actions in an official capacity, in which Proceeding the director was judged liable on the basis that he or she derived an improper personal benefit. Any indemnification permitted in connection with a Proceeding by or in the right of the corporation is limited to reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such Proceeding.
 
The Florida Revised Statutes, unless otherwise provided in the articles of incorporation, a Florida corporation may indemnify an officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent of the corporation to the same extent as a director and may indemnify such a person who is not a director to a greater extent, if not inconsistent with public policy and if provided for by our bylaws, general or specific action of our board of directors or stockholders, or contract. Our articles of incorporation provide for indemnification of our directors, officers, employees, fiduciaries and agents to the full extent permitted by Florida law.
 
Our articles of incorporation also provide that we may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer of our company or who is or was serving at our request as a director, officer or agent of another enterprise against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not we would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability.

Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 governs the determination of beneficial ownership of securities. That rule provides that a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who directly or indirectly has or shares voting power and/or investment power with respect to such security. Rule 13d-3 also provides that a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who has the right to acquire beneficial ownership of such security within sixty days, including through the exercise of any option, warrant or conversion of a security. Any securities not outstanding which are subject to such options, warrants or conversion privileges are deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage of outstanding securities of the class owned by such person. Those securities are not deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage of the class owned by any other person.
