DIGERATI TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
October 31, 2014
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Digerati Technologies, Inc. ("Digerati" 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 financial statements for the most recent Form 10-K as of and for the year ended July 31, 2014 filed on July 15, 2015 have been omitted.
Taxes
The effective tax rate was 0% for the three months ended October 31, 2014, and an effective tax rate of 44% for the three months ended October 31, 2013.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
Financial Condition
Digerati’s unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the period ended October 31, 2014 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. Digerati has incurred net losses and has accumulated a deficit of approximately $76,248,000 and a working capital deficit of approximately $1,002,000 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 current available resources will not be sufficient to fund the Company’s operations over the next 12 months. The Company’s ability to continue to meet its obligations and to achieve its business objectives is dependent upon, among other things, raising additional capital or generating sufficient revenue in excess of costs. At such time as the Company requires additional funding, the Company will seek to secure such additional funding from various possible sources, including the public equity market, private financings, sales of assets, collaborative arrangements and debt. 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 delay or reduce the scope of its operations, and the Company may not be able to pay off its obligations, if and when they come due.
The Company will continue to work with various funding sources to secure additional debt and equity financings. However, Digerati cannot offer any assurance that it will be successful in executing the aforementioned plans to continue as a going concern.
Digerati’s unaudited interim consolidated financial statements as of October 31, 2014 do not include any adjustments that might result from the inability to implement or execute Digerati’s plans to improve our ability to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3 – BANKRUPTCY
On May 30, 2013, Digerati Technologies, Inc., Debtor in Possession (“Digerati”) filed a voluntary petition in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division (the “Bankruptcy Court”), Case No. 13-33264 (the “Bankruptcy”), seeking relief under the provisions of Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code.
On April 4, 2014 (the “Confirmation Date”), the Bankruptcy Court entered an Agreed Order Confirming Joint Plan of Reorganization Filed by Plan Proponents (“Agreed Order”) confirming the Plan Proponents’ Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization as modified on the record on April 4, 2014 and/or as modified by the Agreed Order (the “Reorganization Plan”). As used herein, the term “Reorganized Debtor” refers to Digerati Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation, after the Confirmation Date and as reorganized by the Reorganization Plan.
7 |
On October 2, 2014 the Grantor Trust paid approximately $1,838,000 of unsecured claims in accordance to the Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization.
Summary of the Plan
This summary is not intended to be a complete description of the Reorganization Plan, and it is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreed Order, Reorganization Plan, Plan Supplement and Disclosure Statement. A copy of the Agreed Order and Reorganization Plan were filed as exhibits to Digerati’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 11, 2014.
(a) | The Agreed Order provided final approval of the Disclosure Statement, a copy of which was filed as an exhibit to Digerati’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated January 23, 2014. |
(b) | Upon the Confirmation Date, the Reorganized Debtor had 1,977,626 shares of common stock outstanding. All outstanding shares of Digerati’s preferred stock, warrants, options, conversion rights and other rights to acquire shares of common stock and all “super voting” shares were cancelled. |
(c) | The Reorganized Debtor’s Board of Directors consisted of Messrs. Arthur L. Smith, William E. McIlwain and James J. Davis. The Reorganized Debtor’s officers, who served at the discretion of the board of directors until the Stockholder Meeting, were: |
Arthur L. Smith President and Chief Executive Officer
Antonio Estrada Chief Financial Officer
Subsequently, on September 15, 2014, the Company held its Annual Meeting of Shareholders, and at the discretion of the new directors, Mr. Smith and Mr. Estrada continued to serve as officers of the Reorganized Debtor.
(d) | The Reorganized Debtor was required to hold a Stockholder Meeting to elect a new board of directors after August 31, 2014, and before September 15, 2014. The Reorganized Debtor’s officers and directors, as well as the parties to the BSA and a Rule 11 Mediated Settlement Agreement dated January 14, 2014 (the “Rule 11 Agreement”), were not eligible for election to the new board of directors at the Stockholder Meeting. Messrs. Smith and Estrada were not permitted to solicit proxies in connection with the Stockholder Meeting but were allowed to vote shares of common stock owned by them. Subsequently, on September 15, 2014, the Company held its Annual Meeting of Shareholders, and new directors were elected. |
(e) | Under the Reorganization Plan title to the issued and outstanding shares of Dishon Disposal, Inc., a North Dakota corporation (“Dishon”), and Hurley Enterprises, Inc., a Montana corporation (“Hurley”), owned by Digerati were transferred to a Grantor Trust subject to existing liens and the Rule 11 Agreement. The Dishon and Hurley shares did not vest in the Reorganized Debtor and remained the property of Digerati’s bankruptcy estate. Additionally, under the Reorganization Plan certain retained litigation claims were transferred to the Grantor Trust. The beneficiary of the Grantor Trust is the Reorganized Debtor. The trustee and Disbursing Agent of the Grantor Trust is Mr. William R. Greendyke. All other assets of Digerati that are not transferred to the Grantor Trust and/or retained by Digerati vested in the Reorganized Debtor as of the Confirmation Date, including but not limited to the common stock of Shift8 Technologies, Inc., free and clear of liens, claims and encumbrances. |
(f) | All of the issued and outstanding shares of Dishon and Hurley were sold by the Grantor Trust and the proceeds from the sale were distributed by the trustee and Disbursing Agent to discharge certain allowed claims. The claims distribution set forth in the Reorganization Plan were as follows: |
(i) | Allowed priority claims were paid in full from cash on hand. |
(ii) | Allowed administrative claims will be paid from the proceeds of the sale of the Dishon and Hurley shares except for those amounts paid pursuant to the budget attached to the Reorganization Plan. The Company estimated the maximum potential amount of any federal income tax liability on the gains derived from the sale of the Dishon and Hurley shares and deposited that amount into a reserve account until determination of the actual taxes due. |
(iii) | Proceeds from the sale of the Dishon shares in excess of $1,250,000 plus one-half of Digerati’s unpaid professional fees (the “Dishon Carve Out”) and amount reserved for taxes were delivered to creditors holding $30,000,000 of Digerati’s indebtedness secured by the Dishon shares, up to the principal of and accrued interest on such indebtedness. In addition, the secured creditors maintain a right to seek a refund if the estimated amount withheld for taxes on the sale of the Dishon shares exceeds the tax obligation. |
8 |
(iv) | Proceeds from the sale of the Hurley shares in excess of $1,250,000 plus one-half of Digerati’s unpaid professional fees (the “Hurley Carve Out”) and amount reserved for taxes were delivered to creditors holding $30,000,000 of Digerati’s indebtedness secured by the Hurley shares, up to the principal of and accrued interest on such indebtedness. In addition, the secured creditors maintain a right to seek a refund if the estimated amount withheld for taxes on the sale of the Hurley shares exceeds the tax obligation. Principal of or interest on Digerati’s indebtedness secured by the Hurley shares that is in excess of the net proceeds from the sale of Hurley shares has been waived. |
(v) | Allowed unsecured claims of $1,000 or less were paid in full from cash on hand. |
(vi) | Allowed unsecured claims greater than $1,000 were paid in full from the Dishon Carve Out and the Hurley Carve Out. The excess from the combined $2,500,000 withheld from the sale of the Dishon shares and Hurley shares will be applied to the unpaid professional fees. |
(vii) | All cure payments under assumed contracts were paid within 90 days of April 4, 2014. |
(viii) | All executory contracts of Digerati were rejected except as previously assumed by order in the Bankruptcy Court or specifically listed as assumed in the Reorganization Plan. |
(ix) | The Reorganized Debtor released Messrs. Arthur L. Smith, Antonio Estrada, William E. McIlwain and James J. Davis in their individual capacity and their respective capacities as officers and/or directors, as applicable, of Digerati, Hurley or Dishon of all claims and causes of action that arise on or before the Confirmation Date that could be asserted by Digerati, the estate and/or on account of the Bankruptcy through the Stockholder Meeting. The Reorganized Debtor also released Messrs. Arthur L. Smith, William McIlwain and James Davis to the greatest extent provided by law from any claims. |

On November 7, 2014, November 14, 2014 and November 24, 2014 Digerati entered into three Promissory Notes for a total of $30,000 with Flagship Oil and Gas Corp. Craig K. Clement, the CEO and a director of Flagship, is also a Digerati director. The notes have an implied annual interest rate of 7% and all notes matured on January 5, 2015. Digerati also entered into a preemptive rights agreement with Flagship, under which the holder has the preemptive right, but not the obligation, to purchase any equity securities that the Company may propose to issue or sell. On January 13, 2015, the Company issued 363,636 shares of Digerati Common Stock for payment of the principal of and accrued interest on the $40,000 Flagship Notes.
On January 31, 2015, the Company executed a stock purchase agreement with Flagship Oil and Gas Corp. for the sale of 2,279,412 shares of Digerati Common Stock, and warrants for the purchase of an additional 300,000 shares of Common Stock at $0.14 per share for five years. In consideration for the shares and the warrants, the Company received a promissory note in the original principal amount of $310,000 plus interest at the rate of 7.0% per annum, payable in installments of $40,000 plus accrued interest on January 31, 2015; $60,000 plus accrued interest on February 13, 2015; and $210,000 plus accrued interest on March 6, 2015. The Black-Scholes pricing model was used to estimate the relative fair value of the 300,000 warrants issued during the period, using the assumptions of a risk free interest rate of 1.37%, dividend yield of 0%, volatility of 312%, and an expected life of 5 years. The warrants have a relative fair value of approximately $34,627 and included in additional paid-in capital.
On January 19, 2015 the Company issued 492,356 shares of its Common Stock to various employees as part of Digerati’s profit sharing plan contribution.

On January 22, 2015 the Company's Board of Directors appointed a current director, Craig K. Clement, as Chairman of the Board. Mr. Clement is CEO of Flagship Oil and Gas Corp.

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, 2014 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 15, 2015.
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, 2014 and 2013. 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, 2014 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 15, 2015. For purposes of the following discussion, fiscal 2015 or 2015 refers to the year ended July 31, 2015 and fiscal 2014 or 2014 refers to the year ended July 31, 2014.
History
Digerati Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (including our subsidiaries, “we”, “us”, or “Digerati”), was formed in 2004 as the successor to a business originally commenced by Latcomm International, Inc., a Canadian company formed in 1994. We began providing communication services in 1995 along the U.S.-Mexico corridor to capitalize on the opportunities created by the deregulation of the telecommunication industries within Latin America. Our principal business has been providing transportation of voice traffic for other telecommunication service providers, wireless carriers and regional Internet telephony providers using Voice over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) technologies. Our wholly owned subsidiary, Shift8 Technologies, Inc. (“Shift8”), offers a portfolio of Internet-based telephony products and services through our cloud telephony application platform and session-based communication network that is interconnected with numerous U.S. and foreign service providers.
Most recently, Digerati owned a waste disposal facility focused on disposing of solid and liquid wastes from drilling sites and an oilfield services business providing skid houses, telecommunication services, booster booths, portable restrooms, generators, potable water, and mess halls to many of the major drilling contractors and oil companies in the Bakken region of Montana/North Dakota. Both businesses were sold in July 2014.
Sources of Revenue and Direct Cost
Sources of revenue:
Global VoIP Services: We currently provide VoIP communication services to U.S. and foreign telecommunications companies that lack transmission facilities, require additional capacity or do not have the regulatory licenses to terminate traffic in Mexico, Asia, the Middle East and Latin America. Typically, these telecommunications companies offer their services to the public for domestic and international long distance services
Cloud-based hosted Services: We provide enhanced VoIP services to resellers and enterprise customers. The service include fully hosted IP/PBX services, IP trunking, call center applications, prepaid services, interactive voice response auto attendant, call recording, simultaneous calling, voicemail to email conversion, and multiple customized IP/PBX features in a hosted environment for specialized applications.
Direct Costs:
Global VoIP Services: We incur transmission and termination charges from our suppliers and the providers of the infrastructure and network. The cost is based on rate per minute, volume of minutes transported and terminated through the network. Additionally, we incur fixed Internet bandwidth charges and per minute billing charges. In some cases we incur installation charges from certain carriers. These installation costs are passed on to our customers for the connection to our VoIP network.
Cloud-based hosted Services: We incur bandwidth and co-location charges in connection with enhanced VoIP Services. The bandwidth charges are incurred as part of the connection between our customers to allow them access to our services.

Results of Operations
Three Months ended October 31, 2014 Compared to Three Months ended October 31, 2013
Global VoIP Services. Global VoIP services revenue decreased by $40,000, or 74%, from the quarter ended October 31, 2013 to the quarter ended October 31, 2014. The decrease in revenue is attributed primarily to slowly dwindling Global VoIP services due in part to the constant price pressure in the market.
Cloud-based hosted Services. Cloud-based hosted services revenue decreased by $37,000, or 38%, from the quarter ended October 31, 2013 to the quarter ended October 31, 2014. The decrease in revenue between periods is primarily attributed to the decrease in one key customer that generated significant monthly recurring hosted services revenue. Hosted services include fully hosted IP/PBX services, IP trunking, call center applications, prepaid services, interactive voice response auto attendant, call recording, simultaneous calling, voicemail to email conversion, SIP trunking and multiple other IP/PBX features in a hosted environment.
Cost of Services (exclusive of depreciation and amortization). The consolidated cost of services decreased by $80,000, or 66%, from the quarter ended October 31, 2013 to the quarter ended October 31, 2014. The decrease in cost of services is a direct correlation to the decrease in total revenue.
Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses (exclusive of legal and professional fees). SG&A expenses decreased by $30,000, or 13%, from the quarter ended October 31, 2013 to the quarter ended October 31, 2014. The decrease is attributed to the emphasis in controlling administrative expenses during the period.
Legal and professional fees. Legal and professional fees decreased by $442,000, or 84%, from the quarter ended October 31, 2013 to the quarter ended October 31, 2014. The decrease is attributable to the reduction in legal fees, during the period ending October 31, 2014; the Company incurred a reduced amount in legal fees associated with the voluntary petition pursuant to Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization remained comparable between periods.
Operating loss. The Company reported an operating loss of $260,000 for the three months ended October 31, 2014 compared to an operating loss of $735,000 for the three months ended October 31, 2013. The decrease in operating loss between periods is primarily attributed to the decrease in legal and professional fees of $442,000 and a decrease between periods in selling, general and administrative expense of approximately $30,000.
Other income (expense). Other income (expense) decreased by $25,000, or 38%, from the quarter ended October 31, 2013 to the quarter ended October 31, 2014. The primary reason for the decrease in other income (expense) is attributed to the decrease between periods in interest expense of approximately $38,000 as a result of decrease in debt between periods.
Net loss from continuing operations, before tax. Net loss from continuing operations, before tax improved by $500,000 or 63%, from the three months ended October 31, 2013 to the three months ended October 31, 2014. The improvement in net loss from continuing operations, before tax is primarily attributed to the decrease in legal and professional fees of $442,000 and a decrease between periods in selling, general and administrative expense of approximately $30,000.
Income tax benefit from discontinued operations. Income tax benefit from discontinued operations decreased by $819,000 or 100%, from the quarter ended October 31, 2013 to the quarter ended October 31, 2014.
Net income from discontinued operations, net of taxes. Net income from discontinued operations, net of taxes decreased by $1,590,000 or 100%, from the quarter ended October 31, 2013 to the quarter ended October 31, 2014.
Net income (loss) attributed to Digerati Technologies, Inc. Net income (loss) attributed to Digerati Technologies, Inc. decreased by $1,909,000 or 119%, from the quarter ended October 31, 2013 to the quarter ended October 31, 2014. The decline in net income (loss) attributed to Digerati Technologies; Inc. is as a result of the decrease in net income from discontinued operations between periods. During FY 2014 the Company sold its interest in discontinued operations and as a result there was no income from discontinued operations during the period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Position: We had a consolidated cash balance of $183,000 as of October 31, 2014. Net cash consumed by operating activities during the three months ended October 31, 2014 was approximately $174,000. There was no cash consumed by investing activities during the three months ended October 31, 2014. Cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended October 31, 2014 was approximately $10,000. Overall, our net operating, investing and financing activities during the three months ended October 31, 2014 consumed approximately $164,000 of cash.
We are currently utilizing our available cash to fund any deficiencies in our cash flows from operations. Our current cash expenses are expected to be approximately $75,000 per month, including wages, rent, utilities and corporate professional fees. As described elsewhere herein, we are not generating sufficient cash from operations to pay for our ongoing operating expenses, or to pay our current liabilities. As of October 31, 2014 our total liabilities were approximately $1,493,000. As mentioned in Note 3 to the Financial Statements, upon the sale of the shares of Dishon and Hurley and in accordance with the Reorganization Plan, the appointed trustee paid approximately $1,838,000 of unsecured claims and intents to pay approximately $1,700,000 in professional fees. In addition, the trustee paid approximately $41,500,000 in secured claims. There were no proceeds from the sale of Dishon and Hurley shares in excess of the unsecured claims, professional fees and secured claims.
We estimate that we need approximately $500,000 of additional working capital to fund our ongoing operations. Additionally, we have an accumulated deficit in Stockholders’ Deficit of approximately $76,248,000, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We will continue to work with various funding sources to secure additional debt and equity financings. However, we cannot offer any assurance that we will be successful in executing the aforementioned plans to continue as a going concern.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Management’s Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the Company’s Board, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:
● | Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; | |
● | Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and | |
● | Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
14 |
As of October 31, 2014, management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control--Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments. Based on that evaluation, management concluded that, during the period covered by this report; such internal controls and procedures were not effective based on the COSO criteria. This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting that adversely affected our ability to prepare accurate and timely financial statements, which are considered to be material weaknesses.
As a public company with listed equity securities, we need to comply with laws, regulations and requirements, certain corporate governance provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act or the Dodd-Frank Act, and related regulations of the SEC, which we would not be required to comply with as a private company. Complying with these statutes, regulations and requirements will occupy a significant amount of time of our board of directors and management and will significantly increase our costs and expenses.
Changes in internal controls over financial reporting
Except as noted above, there was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report, which has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
