DIGERATI TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Digerati Technologies, Inc. (“we;” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, these interim financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the consolidated financial statements, which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended July 31, 2020 contained in the Company’s Form 10-K filed on October 29, 2020 have been omitted.

 

Prepaid Acquisition costs & debt financing costs

 

The Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire a service provider in South Florida of UCaaS and managed services that offers a portfolio of cloud-based solutions to the high-growth SMB market.  In addition, the Company entered into a Letter of Intent (LOI) for a second acquisition of a UCaaS service provider in South Florida. On November 17, 2020, the Company closed on the two acquisitions. See Note 12 Subsequent Events. As of October 31, 2020, the Company advanced $240,000 as part of multiple extension fees, upon closing, these amounts were applied to the purchase price. In addition, as of October 31, 2020, the Company advanced $325,000 towards the financing costs.

 

Treasury Shares

 

As a result of entering into various convertible debt instruments which contained a variable conversion feature with no floor, warrants with fixed exercise price, and convertible notes with fixed conversion price or with a conversion price floor, we reserved 15,000,000 treasury shares for consideration for future conversions and exercise of warrants. The Company will evaluate the reserved treasury shares on a quarterly basis, and if necessary, reserve additional treasury shares. As of October 31, 2020, we believe that the treasury share reserved are sufficient for any future conversions of these instruments. As a result, these debt instruments and warrants are excluded from derivative consideration.

 

Customers and Suppliers

 

We rely on various suppliers to provide services in connection with our VOIP and UCaaS offerings. Our customers include businesses in various industries including Healthcare, Banking, Financial Services, Legal, Real Estate, and Construction. We are not dependent upon any single supplier or customer.

 

During the three months ended October 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company did not derive a significant amount of revenue from one single customer.

 

As of the three months ended October 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company did not derive a significant amount of accounts receivable from one single customer.

 

Sources of revenue:

 

Cloud Software and Service Revenue. The Company recognizes cloud software and service revenue, mainly from subscription services for its cloud telephony applications that includes hosted IP/PBX services, SIP trunking, call center applications, auto attendant, voice and web conferencing, call recording, messaging, voicemail to email conversion, integrated mobility applications that are device and location agnostic, and other customized applications. Other services include enterprise-class data and connectivity solutions through multiple broadband technologies including cloud WAN or SD-WAN (Software-defined Wide Area Network), fiber, and Ethernet over copper. We also offer remote network monitoring, data backup and disaster recovery services. The Company applies a five-step approach in determining the amount and timing of revenue to be recognized: (1) identifying the contract with a customer, (2) identifying the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (5) recognizing revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied. Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is recognized at the time control of the products transfers to the customer.

 

6

 

 

Service Revenue

 

Service revenue from subscriptions to the Company’s cloud-based technology platform is recognized over time on a ratable basis over the contractual subscription term beginning on the date that the platform is made available to the customer. Payments received in advance of subscription services being rendered are recorded as a deferred revenue. Usage fees, either bundled or not bundled, are recognized when the Company has a right to invoice. Professional services for configuration, system integration, optimization, customer training and/or education are primarily billed on a fixed-fee basis and are performed by the Company directly. Alternatively, customers may choose to perform these services themselves or engage their own third-party service providers. Professional services revenue is recognized over time, generally as services are activated for the customer.

 

Product Revenue

 

The Company recognizes product revenue for telephony equipment at a point in time, when transfer of control has occurred, which is generally upon delivery. Sales returns are recorded as a reduction to revenue estimated based on historical experience.

 

Disaggregation of Cloud software and service revenue

 

Summary of disaggregated revenue is as follows (in thousands):

 

   For the Three Months ended October 31, 
   2020   2019 
Cloud software and service revenue  $1,549   $1,555 
Product revenue   3    34 
Total operating revenues  $1,552   $1,589 

 

Contract Assets

 

Contract assets are recorded for those parts of the contract consideration not yet invoiced but for which the performance obligations are completed. The revenue is recognized when the customer receives services or equipment for a reduced consideration at the onset of an arrangement; for example, when the initial month’s services or equipment are discounted. Contract assets are included in prepaid and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets, depending on if their reduction is recognized during the succeeding 12-month period or beyond. Contract assets as of October 31, 2020 and July 31, 2020, were $6,810 and $5,980, respectively.

 

Deferred Income

 

Deferred income represents billings or payment received in advance of revenue recognition and is recognized upon transfer of control. Balances consist primarily of annual plan subscription services, for services not yet provided as of the balance sheet date. Deferred revenues that will be recognized during the succeeding 12-month period are recorded as current deferred revenues in the consolidated balance sheets, with the remainder recorded as other noncurrent liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Deferred income as of October 31, 2020 and July 31, 2020, were $6,800 and $148,000, respectively.

 

7

 

 

Customer deposits

 

The Company in some instances requires customers to make deposits for equipment, installation charges and training. As equipment is installed and training takes places the deposits are then applied to revenue. As of October 31, 2020, and July 31, 2020, Digerati’s customer deposits balance was $131,000 and $131,000, respectively.

 

Costs to Obtain a Customer Contract

 

Sales commissions are paid upon collections of related revenue and are expensed during the same period. Sales commissions for the three months ended October 31, 2020 and October 31, 2019, were $18,190 and $16,253, respectively.

 

Direct Costs - Cloud software and service

 

We incur bandwidth and colocation charges in connection with our UCaaS or cloud communication services. The bandwidth charges are incurred as part of the connectivity between our customers to allow them access to our various services. We also incur costs from underlying providers for fiber, Internet broadband, and telecommunication circuits in connection with our data and connectivity solutions.

 

Noncontrolling interest. The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, Consolidation, which governs the accounting for and reporting of non-controlling interests (“NCIs”) in partially owned consolidated subsidiaries and the loss of control of subsidiaries. Certain provisions of this standard indicate, among other things, that NCIs be treated as a separate component of equity, not as a liability, that increases and decreases in the parent’s ownership interest that leave control intact be treated as equity transactions rather than as step acquisitions or dilution gains or losses, and that losses of a partially owned consolidated subsidiary be allocated to the NCI even when such allocation might result in a deficit balance.

 

The net income (loss) attributed to the NCI is separately designated in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income (loss). For the three months ended October 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized a noncontrolling deficits of $35,000 and $13,000, respectively.

 

Recently issued accounting pronouncements. Recent accounting pronouncements, other than below, issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA and the SEC did not, or are not, believed by management to have a material effect on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued “ASU 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 47020) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)” which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments. The guidance removes certain accounting models which separate the embedded conversion features from the host contract for convertible instruments. Either a modified retrospective method of transition or a fully retrospective method of transition is permissible for the adoption of this standard. Update No. 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted no earlier than the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the potential on its financial statements.

 

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

 

Financial Condition

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements for the three months ending October 31, 2020 have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. Since the Company’s inception in 1993, the Company has incurred net losses and accumulated a deficit of approximately $89,418,000 and a working capital deficit of approximately $5,312,000 which raises substantial doubt about Digerati’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Management Plans to Continue as a Going Concern

 

Management believes that available resources as of October 31, 2020, will not be sufficient to fund the Company’s operations and corporate expenses over the next 12 months. The Company’s ability to continue to meet its obligations and to achieve its business objectives is dependent upon, and other things, raising additional capital, issuing stock-based compensation to certain members of the executive management team in lieu of cash, or generating sufficient revenue in excess of costs. At such time as the Company requires additional funding, the Company will seek to secure such best-efforts funding from various possible sources, including equity or debt financing, sales of assets, or collaborative arrangements. If the Company raises additional capital through the issuance of equity securities or securities convertible into equity, stockholders will experience dilution, and such securities may have rights, preferences, or privileges senior to those of the holders of common stock or convertible senior notes. If the Company raises additional funds by issuing debt, the Company may be subject to limitations on its operations, through debt covenants or other restrictions. If the Company obtains additional funds through arrangements with collaborators or strategic partners, the Company may be required to relinquish its rights to certain technologies. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional funds or raise them on acceptable terms. If the Company is unable to obtain financing on acceptable terms, it may be unable to execute its business plan, the Company could be required to curtail its operations, and the Company may not be able to pay off its obligations, if and when they come due.

 

We are currently taking initiatives to reduce our overall cash deficiencies on a monthly basis. During fiscal 2021 we anticipate reducing fixed costs and general expenses, in addition, certain members of our management team have taken a significant portion of their compensation in common stock to reduce the depletion of our available cash. To strengthen our business, we intend to invest in a new marketing and sales strategy to grow our monthly recurring revenue; we anticipate utilizing our value-added resellers to tap into new sources of revenue streams, we have also secured various agent agreements to accelerate revenue growth. In addition, we will continue to focus on selling a greater number of comprehensive services to our existing customer base. Further, in an effort to increase our revenues, we will continue to evaluate the acquisition of various assets with emphasis in VoIP Services and Cloud Communication Services. As a result, during the due diligence process we anticipate incurring significant legal and professional fees.

 

We have been successful in raising debt and equity capital in the past and as described in Notes 6, 7, and 8. In addition we raised debt capital after October 31, 2020 as described below and in Note 12. We have financing efforts in place to continue to raise cash through debt and equity offerings. Although we have successfully completed financings and reduced expenses in the past, we cannot assure you that our plans to address these matters in the future will be successful.

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements as of October 31, 2020 do not include any adjustments that might result from the inability to implement or execute the Company’s plans to improve our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

On November 17, 2020, the Company and T3 Communications, Inc (“T3 Nevada”), a majority owned subsidiary entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Post Road Administrative LLC and its affiliate Post Road Special Opportunity Fund II LLP (collectively, “Post Road”). Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, Post Road provided T3 Nevada with a secured loan of up to $20,000,000, with initial loans of $10,500,000 pursuant to the issuance of a Term Loan A Note and $3,500,000 pursuant to the issuance of a Term Loan B Note, each funded on November 17, 2020.

 

The Company used $14,000,000 of the credit facility for the payment of approximately $9.452 million for the purchase price for the merger of Nexogy, $1.190 million for the purchase price and transaction fees of certain assets of ActiveServe, Inc., $1.480 million for the payment in full of outstanding debts owed to three creditors, including the secured creditor Thermo Communication, Inc., the payment of approximately $894,000 in transaction fees and $484,000 for general working capital purposes. See Note 12 Subsequent Events.

 

The Company can draw additional loans in increments of $1,000,000., before the 18 month anniversary of the initial funding date. The current Credit Agreement will allow the Company to continue acquiring UCaaS service providers that meet the Company’s acquisition criteria. Management anticipates that future acquisitions will provide additional operating revenues to the Company as it continues to execute on its consolidation strategy. There can be no guarantee that the planned acquisitions will close or that they will produce the anticipated revenues on the schedule anticipated by management.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. A fair value hierarchy is used which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The fair value hierarchy based on the three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:

 

Level 1   –    Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
   
Level 2   –    Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
   
Level 3   –    Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.

 

For certain of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of our long-term debt approximates its fair value based on the quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or the current rates offered to us for debt of the same remaining maturities.

 

Our derivative liabilities as of October 31, 2020 and July 31, 2020 of $223,437 and $606,123, respectively.

(“Nexogy”) resulting in Nexogy becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of T3 Nevada (the “Merger”). Nexogy is a leading provider in South Florida of Unified Communications as a Service and managed services, offering a portfolio of cloud-based solutions to the high-growth SMB market.

 

The purchase price for Nexogy was $9 million in cash, plus an additional $452,000 in initial excess Net Working Capital, with $900,000 of the $9 million being placed in an indemnity escrow account and $50,000 of the $9 million being placed in a working capital escrow account. In addition, at the closing of the Merger, T3 Nevada paid a number of Nexogy’s liabilities which were included in the $9 million purchase price.

 

ActivePBX Asset Purchase

 

On November 17, 2020, our indirect, wholly owned subsidiary, T3 Communications, Inc., a Florida corporation (“T3 Florida”), executed and closed on an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with ActiveServe, Inc., a Florida corporation (“Seller”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, T3 Florida acquired the customer base, certain equipment, certain intellectual property, inventory, contract rights, software and other licenses and miscellaneous assets used in connection with the operation of Seller’s telecommunications business known as ActivePBX (collectively, the “Purchased Assets”).

 

The aggregate purchase price for the Purchased Assets was $2,555,000 in cash, subject to adjustment as provided therein (the “Purchase Price”). $1,190,000 of the Purchase Price was payable at closing, with $50,000 of such amount being  withheld by T3 Florida for a period of 12 months to cover part of  potential future  indemnification obligations of Seller to T3 Florida  due to Seller’s breaches, if any, of any representations and warranties made to T3 Florida by  Seller under the Purchase Agreement, and  $40,000 of such amount being credited to T3 Florida against a payment in that amount made by T3 Florida to Seller pursuant to the Second Amendment to Letter of Intent between Seller and T3 Florida dated as of October 15, 2020.

 

Part of the Purchase Price is payable in 8 equal quarterly payments of $136,250, subject to T3 Florida achieving quarterly post-purchase recurring revenues under monthly contracts or subscriptions from the acquired customer base, excluding charges for taxes, regulatory fees, additional set-up fees, equipment purchases or lease, and consulting fees. To the extent that a quarterly revenue threshold is not reached, the amount of the corresponding quarterly payment shall be reduced on a proportional basis. T3 Florida’s $1,190,000 payment obligation is represented by a promissory note of T3 Florida in the form included as an exhibit to the Purchase Agreement. The note, in turn, is subject to the Subordination Agreement, included as an Exhibit to the Purchase Agreement, among Seller, the Company’s parent, T3 Nevada, and Post Road Administrative, LLC, in its capacity as administrative agent for the Post Road lenders. $275,000 of the Purchase Price (the “Customer Renewal Value”) represents an incentive earn-out to be paid with respect to Seller’s customer accounts which are transferred to T3 Florida at closing, that are renewed, expanded and/or revised with T3 Florida for a minimum term of twelve months with an auto-renewal for 12 months. 

 

In connection with the Purchase Agreement, we entered into Consulting Agreements and a Non-Compete Agreement with each of Alex Gonzalez and Jose Gonzalez, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Technology Officer of Seller.

Credit Agreement and Notes

 

On November 17, 2020, T3 Communications, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“T3 Nevada”), a majority owned subsidiary of Digerati Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) and the Company’s other subsidiaries entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Post Road Administrative LLC and its affiliate Post Road Special Opportunity Fund II LLP (collectively, “Post Road”). The Company is a party to certain sections of the Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, Post Road will provide T3 Nevada with a secured loan of up to $20,000,000 (the “Loan”), with initial loans of $10,500,000 pursuant to the issuance of a Term Loan A Note and $3,500,000 pursuant to the issuance of a Term Loan B Note, each funded on November 17, 2020, and an additional $6,000,000 on loans, in increments of $1,000,000 as requested by T3 Nevada before the 18 month anniversary of the initial funding date to be lent pursuant to the issuance of a Delayed Draw Term Note.

 

The Term Loan A and Delayed Draw Term Notes have maturity dates of November 17, 2024 and an interest rate of LIBOR (with a minimum rate of 1.5%) plus twelve percent (12%). Term Loan A is non-amortized (interest only payments) through the maturity date and contains an option for the Company to pay interest in kind (PIK) for up to five percent (5%) of the interest rate in year one, four percent (4%) in year two and three percent (3%) in year three.

 

Term Loan B has a maturity date of December 31, 2021 and an interest rate of LIBOR (with a minimum rate of 1.5%) plus twelve percent (12%). Term Loan B is non-amortized (interest only payments) through the maturity date and contains an option for the Company to pay interest in kind (PIK) for up to five percent (5%) of the interest rate in year one, four percent (4%) in year two and three percent (3%) in year three.

 

Permitted use of proceeds for the initial $14,000,000 of the Loan included approximately $9.452 million for the purchase price for the merger of Nexogy with and into an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company described above, $1.190 million for the purchase price and transaction fees of certain assets of ActiveServe, Inc. described above, $1.480 million for the payment in full of outstanding debts owed to three creditors, including the secured creditor Thermo Communication, Inc., $484,000 for general working capital purposes and to pay approximately $894,000 in transaction fees related to the Loan. Proceeds from additional portions of the Loan, if any, are to be used for permitted acquisitions and to fund growth capital expenditures.

 

The Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and indemnification provisions. The Credit Agreement also contains affirmative and negative covenants with respect to operation of the business and properties of the loan parties as well as financial performance.

 

T3 Nevada’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a first-priority security interest in all of the assets of T3 Nevada and guaranteed by the other subsidiaries of the Company pursuant to the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement, dated November 17, 2020, by and among T3 Nevada, the Company’s other subsidiaries, and Post Road Administrative LLC (the “Guaranty and Collateral Agreement”). In addition, T3 Nevada’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are, pursuant to a Pledge Agreement (the “Pledge Agreement”), secured by a pledge of a first priority security interest in T3 Nevada’s 100% equity ownership of each of T3 Nevada’s operating companies.

 

Warrant

 

In connection with the Credit Agreement, on November 17, 2020, the Company issued a Warrant to Post Road Special Opportunity Fund II LP (the “Warrant”) to purchase, initially, twenty-five percent (25%) of the Company’s total shares (the “Warrant”), calculated on a fully-diluted basis as of the date of issuance (the “Warrant Shares”) and subject to a reduction to fifteen percent (15%) as described below.

 

The number of Warrant Shares is adjustable to allow the holder to maintain, subject to certain share issuances that are exceptions, the right to purchase twenty-five percent (25%) of the Company’s total shares, calculated on a fully-diluted basis. The Warrant has an exercise price of $0.01 per share and the Warrant expires on November 17, 2030. Seventy-five percent (75%) of the Warrant Shares are immediately fully vested and not subject to forfeiture at any time for any reason. The remaining twenty-five percent (25%) of the Warrant Shares are subject to forfeiture based on the Company achieving certain performance targets which, if achieved, would result in twenty percent (20%) warrant coverage. If the minority shareholders of T3 Nevada convert their T3 Nevada shares into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), the Warrant Shares percentage shall also be lowered such that when combined with the achievement of the performance targets, the warrant coverage could be reduced to fifteen percent (15%).

 

In connection with the issuance of the Warrant, the three executives of the Company, Art Smith, Antonio Estrada, and Craig Clement entered into a Tag-Along Agreement (the “Tag-Along Agreement”) whereby they agreed that the holder of the Warrant or Warrant Share will have the right to participate or “tag-along” in any agreements to sell any shares of their Common Stock that such executives enter into. The Company also agreed, in connection with the issuance of the Warrant and pursuant to a Board Observer Agreement (the “Board Observer Agreement”), to grant Post Road the right to appoint a representative to each of the boards of directors of the Company and each of its subsidiaries, to attend all board meeting in a non-voting observer capacity.

 

Equity Issuance

 

On November 17, 2020, the Company issued 3,730,000 options to purchase common shares to various employees with an exercise price of $0.042 per share and a term of 5 years. The options vest equally over a period of three years.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. “Forward-looking statements” are those statements that describe management’s beliefs and expectations about the future. We have identified forward-looking statements by using words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “may,” “expect,” “plan,” and “intend.” Although we believe these expectations are reasonable, our operations involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Some of these risks include the availability and capacity of competitive data transmission networks and our ability to raise sufficient capital to continue operations. Additional risks are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2020 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 29, 2020.

 

The following is a discussion of the unaudited interim consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Digerati for the three months ended October 31, 2020 and 2019. It should be read in conjunction with our audited Consolidated Financial Statements, the Notes thereto, and the other financial information included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2020 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 29, 2020. For purposes of the following discussion, fiscal 2021 or 2021 refers to the year ended July 31, 2021 and fiscal 2020 or 2020 refers to the year ended July 31, 2020.

 

Overview

 

Digerati Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (including our subsidiaries, “we,” “us,” “Company” or “Digerati”), through its operating subsidiaries in Texas and Florida, Shift8 Networks, Inc., dba, T3 Communications (“T3”) and T3 Communications, Inc. (“T3”), provides cloud services specializing in Unified Communications as a Service (“UCaaS”) solutions for the business market. Our product line includes a portfolio of Internet-based telephony products and services delivered through our cloud application platform and session-based communication network and network services including Internet broadband, fiber, mobile broadband, and cloud WAN solutions (SD WAN). Our services are designed to provide enterprise-class, carrier-grade services to the small-to-medium-sized business (“SMB”) at cost-effective monthly rates. Our UCaaS or cloud communication services include fully hosted IP/PBX, mobile applications, Voice over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) transport, SIP trunking, and customized VoIP services all delivered Only in the Cloud™.

 

As a provider of cloud communications solutions to the SMB, we are seeking to capitalize on the migration by businesses from the legacy telephone network to the Internet Protocol (“IP”) telecommunication network and the migration from hardware-based on-premise telephone systems to software-based communication systems in the cloud. Most SMBs are lagging in technical capabilities and advancement and seldom reach the economies of scale that their larger counterparts enjoy, due to their achievement of a critical mass and ability to deploy a single solution to a large number of workers. SMBs are typically unable to afford comprehensive enterprise solutions and, therefore, need to integrate a combination of business solutions to meet their needs. Cloud computing has revolutionized the industry and opened the door for businesses of all sizes to gain access to enterprise applications with affordable pricing. This especially holds true for cloud telephony applications, but SMBs are still a higher-touch sale that requires customer support for system integration, network installation, cabling, and troubleshooting. We have placed a significant emphasis on that “local” touch when selling, delivering, and supporting our services which we believe will differentiate us from the national providers that are experiencing high attrition rates due to a poor customer support.

 

25

 

 

The adoption of cloud communication services is being driven by the convergence of several market trends, including the increasing costs of maintaining installed legacy communications systems, the fragmentation resulting from use of multiple on-premise systems, and the proliferation of personal smartphones used in the workplace. Today, businesses are increasingly looking for an affordable path to modernizing their communications system to improve productivity, business performance and customer experience.

 

Our cloud solutions offer the SMB reliable, robust, and full-featured services at affordable monthly rates that eliminates high-cost capital expenditures and provides for integration with other cloud-based systems.

 

Recent Activity

 

Acquisitions

 

On November 17, 2020, the Company closed on the acquisitions of Nexogy, Inc. (“Nexogy”), and ActivePBX (“ActivePBX”), leading providers of cloud communication, UCaaS, and broadband solutions tailored for businesses. As a combined business, Nexogy, ActivePBX, and our operating subsidiary, T3 Communications, Inc., will serve over 2,600 business customers and approximately 28,000 users. The business model of the combined entities is supported by strong and predictable recurring revenue with high gross margins under contracts with business customers in various industries including banking, healthcare, financial services, legal, insurance, hotels, real estate, staffing, municipalities, food services, and education. The contribution from the acquisitions is expected to have an immediate and positive impact on the consolidated EBITDA of the Company with additional improvements to be realized during FY2021 from the anticipated cost synergies and consolidation savings. See subsequent events note for additional details.

 

Sources of revenue:

 

Cloud Software and Service Revenue: We provide UCaaS or cloud communication services and managed cloud-based solutions to small and medium size enterprise customers and to other resellers.

Results of Operations

 

Three Months ended October 31, 2020 Compared to Three Months ended October 31, 2019.

 

Cloud Software and Service Revenue. Cloud software and service revenue decreased by $37,000, or 2% from the three months ended October 31, 2019 to the three months ended October 31, 2020. The decrease in revenue between periods is primarily attributed to the decrease in total customers between periods. Our total number of customers decrease from 708 for the three months ended October 31, 2019 to 701 customers for the three months ended October 31, 2020. Additionally, our average monthly revenue per customer decreased from $754 for the three months ended October 31, 2019 to $738 for the three months ended October 31, 2020.

 

26

 

 

Cost of Services (exclusive of depreciation and amortization). The cost of services decreased by $55,000, or 7%, from the three months ended October 31, 2019 to the three months ended October 31, 2020. The decrease in cost of services between periods is primarily attributed to the reduction of one of our colocation sites, whereby we consolidated multiple servers and consolidated to a nationwide provider. As a result of the cost reductions, our consolidated gross margin improved by $18,000 from the three months ended October 31, 2019 to the three months ended October 31, 2020.

 

Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses (exclusive of legal and professional fees and stock compensation expense). SG&A expenses decreased by $13,000, or 2%, from the three months ended October 31, 2019 to the three months ended October 31, 2020. The decrease in SG&A is attributed to reduction of a few sales partners, customer care and technical support partners.

 

Stock Compensation expense. Stock compensation decreased by $168,000, from the three months ended October 31, 2019 to the three months ended October 31, 2020. The decrease between periods is attributed to the recognition of stock option expense of $142,000 recognized during the three months ended October 31, 2019 associated with the stock options awarded to various employees during FY2018, FY2019 and FY2020. The Company also recognized $370,259 in stock compensation for stock issued in lieu of cash payments to the Management team during the period ended October 31, 2019. During the quarter ended October 31, 2020, only recognized $20,000 in stock options expense, only recognized $247,000 in stock compensation expense associated with the funding of the 401(K)-profit sharing plan, recognized $18,000 in stock compensation for stock issued in lieu of cash payments to an employee and recognized $58,000 in stock issued consultants for professional services.

 

Legal and professional fees. Legal and professional fees increased by $156,000, from the three months ended October 31, 2019 to the three months ended October 31, 2020. The increase between periods is attributed to the recognition during FY 2021 of $178,000 in professional fees related to the acquisitions.

 

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization were comparable between the periods ended October 31, 2019 and 2020.

 

Operating loss. The Company reported an operating loss of $626,000 for the three months ended October 31, 2020 compared to an operating loss of $671,000 for the three months ended October 31, 2019. The improvement in operating loss between periods is primarily due to the decrease of $13,000 in SG&A, the improvement of $18,000 in gross margin and decrease in stock compensation expense of $168,000. These decreases were slightly offset by the increase of $156,000 in legal and professional fees.

 

Gain (loss) on derivative instruments. Gain (loss) on derivative instruments increased by $643,000 from the three months ended October 31, 2019 to the three months ended October 31, 2020. We are required to re-measure all derivative instruments at the end of each reporting period and adjust those instruments to market, as a result of the re- measurement of all derivative instruments we recognized an increase between periods.

 

Income tax benefit (expense). During the three months ended October 31, 2020, the Company recognized an income tax expense of $8,000. During the three months ended October 31, 2019, the Company recognized an income tax benefit of $39,000. The primary reason for the income tax benefit was due to a refund for previously paid taxes.

 

Interest expense. Interest income (expense) decreased by $124,000 from the three months ended October 31, 2019 to the three months ended October 31, 2020. During the quarter ended October 31, 2020, the Company recognized non-cash interest / accretion expense of $196,000 related to the adjustment to the present value of various convertible notes and debentures. Additionally, the Company recognized $107,000 in interest expense for cash interest payments on various promissory notes, accrual of $3,000 for interest expense for various promissory notes, and interest income of $6,600.

 

Net income (loss) including noncontrolling interest. Net loss including noncontrolling interest for the three months ended October 31, 2020 was $756,000, an improvement of $765,000 as compared to a net loss for the three months ended October 31, 2019 of $1,521,000. The improvement of $765,000 in net loss including noncontrolling interest between periods is primarily due to the increase of $18,000 in gross margin between periods, the decline of $13,000 in SG&A, the decline of $168,000 in stock compensation expense, the improvement of $643,000 in loss on derivative instruments and the improvement of $124,000 in interest expense. The improvements were slightly offset by the increase of $156,000 in legal and professional fees and the decrease of $47,000 in income tax benefits.

 

27

 

 

Net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest. During the three months ended October 31, 2020 and 2019, the consolidated entity recognized net income in noncontrolling interest of $35,000 and $13,000, respectively. The noncontrolling interest is presented as a separate line item in the Company’s stockholders equity section of the balance sheet.

 

Net income (loss) attributable to Digerati’s shareholders. Net loss for the quarter ended October 31, 2020 was $721,000 compared to a net loss for the quarter ended October 31, 2019 of $1,508,000.

 

Deemed dividend on Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Dividend declared on convertible preferred stock for the quarter ended October 31, 2020 was $5,000 compared to a Deemed dividend on convertible preferred stock for the quarter ended October 31, 2019 of $0.

 

Net income (loss) attributable to Digerati’s common shareholders. Net loss for the three months ended October 31, 2020 was $726,000 compared to a net loss for the three months ended October 31, 2019 of $1,508,000.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Cash Position: We had a consolidated cash balance of $446,000 as of October 31, 2020. Net cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended October 31, 2020 was approximately $86,000, primarily as a result of operating expenses, that included $343,000 in stock compensation and warrant expense, amortization of debt discount of $194,000, gain on derivative liability of $178,000, depreciation and amortization expense of $161,000. Additionally, we had an increase of $334,000 in accounts payable, increase in accrued expenses of $44,000, decrease in deferred income of $141,000, decrease in accounts receivables of $92,000, and an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $6,000.

 

Cash used in investing activities during the three months ended October 31, 2020 was $483,000, which included $118,000 for the purchase of equipment and the cash paid of $365,000 for escrow deposits related to an acquisition.

 

Cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended October 31, 2020 was $158,000. The Company secured $308,000 from convertible notes, net of issuance costs and discounts. The Company made principal payments of $101,000 on convertible notes, principal payments of $31,000 on related party notes, and $18,000 in principal payments on equipment financing. Overall, our net operating, investing, and financing activities during the three months ended October 31, 2020 consumed approximately $239,000 of our available cash.

 

Digerati’s consolidated financial statements for the three months ending October 31, 2020 have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. Since the Company’s inception in 1993, Digerati has incurred net losses and accumulated a deficit of approximately $89,418,000 and a working capital deficit of approximately $5,312,000 which raises doubt about Digerati’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

We are currently taking initiatives to reduce our overall cash deficiencies on a monthly basis. During fiscal 2021 we anticipate reducing fixed costs and general expenses, in addition, certain members of our management team have taken a significant portion of their compensation in common stock to reduce the depletion of our available cash. To strengthen our business, we intend to invest in a new marketing and sales strategy to grow our monthly recurring revenue; we anticipate utilizing our value-added resellers to tap into new sources of revenue streams, we have also secured various agent agreements to accelerate revenue growth. In addition, we will continue to focus on selling a greater number of comprehensive services to our existing customer base. Further, in an effort to increase our revenues, we will continue to evaluate the acquisition of various assets with emphasis in VoIP Services and Cloud Communication Services. As a result, during the due diligence process we anticipate incurring significant legal and professional fees.

Management believes that available resources as of October 31, 2020, will not be sufficient to fund the Company’s operations and corporate expenses over the next 12 months. The Company’s ability to continue to meet its obligations and to achieve its business objectives is dependent upon, and other things, raising additional capital, issuing stock-based compensation to certain members of the executive management team in lieu of cash, or generating sufficient revenue in excess of costs. At such time as the Company requires additional funding, the Company will seek to secure such best-efforts funding from various possible sources, including equity or debt financing, sales of assets, or collaborative arrangements. If the Company raises additional capital through the issuance of equity securities or securities convertible into equity, stockholders will experience dilution, and such securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of common stock or convertible senior notes. If the Company raises additional funds by issuing debt, the Company may be subject to limitations on its operations, through debt covenants or other restrictions. If the Company obtains additional funds through arrangements with collaborators or strategic partners, the Company may be required to relinquish its rights to certain technologies. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional funds or raise them on acceptable terms. If the Company is unable to obtain financing on acceptable terms, it may be unable to execute its business plan, the Company could be required to curtail its operations, and the Company may not be able to pay off its obligations, if and when they come due.

 

Our current cash expenses are expected to be approximately $310,000 per month, including wages, rent, utilities, corporate expenses, and legal professional fees associated with potential acquisitions. As described elsewhere herein, we are not generating sufficient cash from operations to pay for our corporate and ongoing operating expenses, or to pay our current liabilities. As of October 31, 2020, our total liabilities were approximately $6,823,000, which included $223,000 in derivative liabilities. We will continue to use our available cash on hand to cover our deficiencies in operating expenses.

 

We estimate that we need approximately $500,000 of additional working capital to fund our corporate expenses during Fiscal 2021.

 

We have been successful in raising debt and equity capital in the past and as described in Notes 6, 7, and 8 to our consolidated financial statements. In addition, we raised debt capital after October 31, 2020 as described at the beginning of Part I, Item II under the heading “Recent Activity” and the subheading “Credit Agreement & Financing” and in Note 12 to our consolidated financial statements. We have financing efforts in place to continue to raise cash through debt and equity offerings. Although we have successfully completed financings and reduced expenses in the past, we cannot assure you that our plans to address these matters in the future will be successful.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks.

 

Not Applicable.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

In connection with the preparation of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended October 31, 2020, our Principal Executive Officer (“PEO”) and Principal Financial Officer (“PFO”) evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our PEO and PFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were not effective such that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

 

(b) Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, as there has been no implementation to date of processes and/or procedures to remedy internal control weaknesses and deficiencies.
