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, 2017 contained in the Company’s Form 10-K filed on December 14, 2017 have been omitted.
Income Taxes
The effective tax rate was 0% for the nine months ended April 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to be recovered. The Company provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which it does not consider realization of such assets to be more likely than not.
Since January 1, 2007, the Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the authoritative guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board on income taxes which addresses how an entity should recognize, measure and present in the financial statements uncertain tax positions that have been taken or are expected to be taken in a tax return. Pursuant to this guidance, the Company recognizes a tax benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that a particular tax position will be sustained upon examination or audit. To the extent the “more likely than not” standard has been satisfied, the benefit associated with a tax position is measured as the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. As of April 30, 2018, we have no liability for unrecognized tax benefits.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all bank deposits and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.
Reclassifications
For comparability, certain prior period amounts have been reclassified, where applicable, to conform to the financial statement presentation used in fiscal 2018. The reclassifications have no impact on net loss.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
Financial Condition
Digerati’s consolidated financial statements for the period ending April 30, 2018 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 accumulated a deficit of approximately $80,184,000 since 1993 and a working capital deficit of approximately $707,000 which raises substantial doubt about Digerati’s ability to continue as a going concern.
4 |
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, 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 additional 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.
The Company will continue to work with various best-efforts 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 consolidated financial statements as of April 30, 2018 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 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
In November 2015, Digerati adopted the Digerati Technologies, Inc. 2015 Equity Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan, authorizes the grant of up to 7.5 million stock options, restricted common shares, non-restricted common shares and other awards to employees, directors, and certain other persons. The Plan is intended to permit Digerati to retain and attract qualified individuals who will contribute to the overall success of Digerati. Digerati’s Board of Directors determines the terms of any grants under the Plan. Exercise prices of all stock options and other awards vary based on the market price of the shares of common stock as of the date of grant. The stock options, restricted common stock, non-restricted common stock and other awards vest based on the terms of the individual grant.
During the nine months ended April 30, 2018, we issued:
● | 644,731 common shares to various employees as part of the Company’s profit sharing plan contribution. The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of approximately $226,000 equivalent to the value of the shares calculated based on the share’s closing price at the grant dates. (See Note 4) |
● | 515,493 common shares to management for services in lieu of cash compensation. The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of approximately $155,000 equivalent to the value of the shares calculated based on the share’s closing price at the grant dates. (See Note 5) |
● | 1,025,000 options to purchase common shares to various employees with an exercise price of $0.35 per share and a term of 5 years. The options vest equally over a period of one year. The options have a fair market value of $218,800. |
● | 275,000 options to purchase common shares to various employees with an exercise price of $0.35 per share and a term of 5 years. The options vest equally over a period of two years. The options have a fair market value of $74,800. |
● | 545,000 options to purchase common shares to various employees with an exercise price of $0.35 per share and a term of 5 years. The options vest equally over a period of three years. The options have a fair market value of $164,900. |
The fair market value of all options issued was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model which used the following assumptions:
Expected dividend yield | 0.00 | % | ||
Expected stock price volatility | 170.44 | % | ||
Risk-free interest rate | 2.10 | % | ||
Expected term | 1.0 - 3.0 years |
Digerati recognized approximately $585,000 and $426,000 in stock-based compensation expense to employees during the nine months ended April 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Unamortized compensation cost totaled $338,000 and $140,000 at April 30, 2018 and April 30, 2017, respectively.

NOTE 4 – NON-STANDARDIZED PROFIT SHARING PLAN
We currently provide a Non-Standardized Profit Sharing Plan ("Plan"), adopted September 15, 2006. Under the plan our employees qualify to participate in the plan after one year of employment. Contributions under the plan are based on 25% of the annual base salary of each eligible employee up to $54,000 per year. Contributions under the plan are fully vested upon funding.
During the period ended April 30, 2018 and April 30, 2017, the Company issued 644,731 and 1,003,966, respectively, common shares to various employees as part of the Company’s profit sharing plan contribution. The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense for April 30, 2018 and April 30, 2017 of $226,000 and $241,000 respectively, equivalent to the value of the shares calculated based on the share’s closing price at the grant dates.

NOTE 6 - WARRANTS
During the nine months ended April 30, 2018, the Company issued the following warrants:
In August 2017, the Company secured $240,000 from various accredited investors under a private placement and issued 480,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $0.50 per share and warrants to purchase an additional 90,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share. We determined that the warrants issued in connection with the private placement were equity instruments and did not represent derivative instruments.
In October 2017, the Company secured $40,000 from an accredited investor under a private placement and issued 80,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $0.50 per share and warrants to purchase an additional 15,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share. We determined that the warrants issued in connection with the private placement were equity instruments and did not represent derivative instruments.

The term of the Agreement is one year. As a result of the commitment to issue additional warrants in the future, the Company recorded a derivative liability at the origination of the Agreement of $77,000. This liability was re-measured at the April 30, 2018 which resulted in a gain on change in derivative value of $50,000 during the nine month period ended.

NOTE 10 - CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE
On January 12, 2018, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with Peak One Opportunity Fund, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Peak One”). Under the agreement, Peak One agreed to purchase from us up to $600,000 aggregate principal amount of our convertible debentures (together the “Debentures” and each individual issuance a “Debenture”), bearing interest at a rate of 0% per annum, with maturity on the third anniversary of the respective date of issuance.
The Company issued the first debenture (the “Debenture”) to Peak One on January 17, 2018 in the principal amount of $200,000 for a purchase price of $180,000 and 0% percent stated interest rate. The Company paid Peak One $6,000 for legal and compliance fees. In addition, the Company paid $14,400 in other closing costs, these fees were deducted from the proceeds at time of issuance. The Company recorded these discounts and cost of $40,400 as a discount to the Debenture and they will be amortized over the term to interest expense.
The Debenture provides Peak One with the option to convert any outstanding balance under the Debenture into shares of Common Stock of the Company at a conversion price for each share of Common Stock equal to either: (i) if the date of conversion is prior to the date that is 180 days after the issuance date, $0.50, or (ii) if the date of conversion is on or after the date that is 180 days after the issuance date, the lesser of (a) $0.50 or (b) at 70% of the lowest closing bid price of the Company’s Common Stock during the twenty trading days prior to conversion, provided, further, that if either the Company is not DWAC operational at the time of conversion or the Common Stock is traded on the OTC Pink at the time of conversion, then 70% shall automatically adjust to 65% of the lowest closing bid price.
The Company may at its option call for redemption all or part of the Debentures, with the exception of any portion thereof which is the subject of a previously-delivered notice of conversion, prior to the maturity date for an amount equal to: (i) if the redemption date is 90 days or less from the date of issuance, 110% of the sum of the principal amount so redeemed plus accrued interest, if any; (ii) if the redemption date is greater than or equal to 91 days from the date of issuance and less than or equal to 120 days from the date of issuance, 115% of the sum of the principal amount so redeemed plus accrued interest, if any; (iii) if the redemption date is greater than or equal to 121 days from the date of issuance and less than or equal to 50 days from the date of issuance, 120% of the sum of the principal amount so redeemed plus accrued interest, if any; (iv) if the redemption date is greater than or equal to 151 days from the date of issuance and less than or equal to 180 days from the date of issuance, 130% of the sum of the principal amount so redeemed plus accrued interest, if any; and (v) if the redemption date is greater than or equal to 181 days from the date of issuance, 140% of the sum of the principal amount so redeemed plus accrued interest, if any.
The Company analyzed the Debenture for derivative accounting consideration and determined that the embedded conversion option qualified as a derivative instrument, due to the variable conversion price. Therefore, as of the nine month period ending April 30, 2018, the company recognized a debt, net of discount of $183,333 and has a charge to noncash interest expense of $224,524. In addition, the Company has a derivative liability of $297,000 at April 30, 2018.

The actual amount of proceeds we receive pursuant to each put notice is to be determined by: (i) 88% of the lowest market price of the Common Stock during the ten trading days immediately prior to the date of the respective put date; and (ii) the valuation period, the period of seven trading days immediately following the clearing date associated with the respective drawdown notice; the purchase price per share shall mean the lesser of 88% of the lowest market price of the Common Stock during the valuation period or 88% of the lowest market price of the Common Stock during the initial pricing period.

The put amount requested pursuant to any single put notice must have an aggregate value of not less than $20,000 and a maximum amount up to the lesser of (a) $250,000 or (b) 250% of the average daily trading value of the common stock in the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the Put Notice.
We also entered into a registration rights agreement with Peak One whereby we are obligated to file the registration statement to register the resale of the purchase shares.

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, 2017 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 14, 2017.
The following is a discussion of the unaudited interim consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Digerati for the three and six months ended January 31, 2018 and 2017. 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, 2017 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 14, 2017. For purposes of the following discussion, fiscal 2018 or 2018 refers to the year ended July 31, 2018 and fiscal 2017 or 2017 refers to the year ended July 31, 2017.
Overview
Digerati Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (including our subsidiaries, “we,” “us,” “Company” or “Digerati”), through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Shift8 Networks, Inc. (“Shift8”), provides a portfolio of Internet-based telephony products and services through our cloud application platform and session-based communication network, which is interconnected to numerous U.S. and foreign service providers. Our services are designed to provide enterprise-class, carrier-grade services to small-to-medium sized businesses ("SMB") at affordable monthly rates. Our services, known as Unified Communications as a Service (“UCaaS”) or cloud communications, 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™.
History
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. Through FY 2012 our principal business was providing transportation of voice traffic for other telecommunication service providers, wireless carriers and regional Internet telephony providers using Voice over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) technologies.
During FY 2016 Flagship Energy Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Digerati, entered into an Agreement with a Texas-based contract-for-hire oil and gas operator (“Operator”). Under the Agreement, Flagship utilized the Operator for the drilling, completion and the initial operations of a shallow oil and gas well in conjunction with the purchase of 100% of Operator’s working interest and 80% of its Net Revenue Interest. Under the Agreement, the Operator agreed to transfer all field-level operations and assign 100% of a certain oil, gas and mineral lease to Flagship upon demand, which included a tract of land located in South Texas. Additionally, Flagship entered into a Joint Operating Agreement ("JOA") with Operator, whereby the parties agreed to develop the oil and gas well or wells for the production and retrieval of oil and gas commodities as provided for in the oil, gas and mineral lease. During the fiscal 2017 the Company recognized a loss of $248,000 for the total capitalized investment amount in the oil and gas properties.
Recent Developments
On December 1, 2017, Shift8 Technologies, In., a Nevada corporation (“Shift8”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Digerati Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and Synergy Telecom, Inc., a Texas corporation ("Synergy"), closed a transaction to acquire all the assets, assumed all customers, and critical vendor arrangements from Synergy.
In May 2017, Shift8 and T3 Acquisition, Inc., a Florida corporation (“Acquisition Sub”), and newly formed wholly owned subsidiary of Shift8, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with T3 Communications, Inc., a Florida corporation (“T3”). The Merger Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, the Acquisition Sub will be merged with and into T3, with T3 continuing as the surviving corporation and as a wholly owned subsidiary of Shift8. On May2, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of T3 Telecommunications, Inc., an established UCaaS provider serving a high-growth corridor in Southwest Florida.
During the period ended April 30, 2018, we have raised $280,000 through the issuance of 560,000 shares of Digerati common stock and three-year warrants to purchase up to 105,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share.

Sources of Revenue and Direct Cost
Sources of revenue:
Global VoIP Services: We currently provide VoIP communication services on a limited basis 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 includes fully hosted IP/PBX services, mobile applications, SIP trunking, call center applications, interactive voice response auto attendant, call recording, simultaneous calling, voicemail to email conversion, and multiple customized IP/PBX features in a hosted or cloud environment.
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 April 30, 2018 Compared to Three Months ended April 30, 2017
Cloud-based hosted Services. Cloud-based hosted services revenue increased by $146,000, or 292%, from the quarter ended April 30, 2017 to the quarter ended April 30, 2018. The increase in revenue between periods is primarily attributed to the acquisition of the customer base from Synergy Telecom, which resulted in an increase in monthly recurring services revenue. Hosted services include the following, fully hosted IP/PBX services, IP trunking, call center applications, 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 cost of services increased by $67,000, from the quarter ended April 30, 2017 to the quarter ended April 30, 2018. The increase in cost of services is as a result of the increase in variable cost associated with the increase in revenue as part of our recent acquisition, the increase in cost related to additional bandwidth added to our network and the increase in additional hardware/devices deployed for our Value-Added Resellers ("VAR's").
Loss on disposal of unproven oil and gas properties.

SG&A expenses increased by $100,000, or 43%, from the quarter ended April 30, 2017 to the quarter ended April 30, 2018. The increase is primarily attributed the increase in number of employees and associated salaries as part of the acquisition of Synergy Telecom.

Stock Compensation Expense. Stock compensation expense increased by $303,000, or 594%, from the quarter ended April 30, 2017 to the quarter ended April 30, 2018.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased by $46,000 from the quarter ended April 30, 2017 to the quarter ended April 30, 2018.

Operating loss. The Company reported an operating loss of $714,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2018 compared to an operating loss of $563,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2017. The increase in operating loss between periods is primarily due to the increase of $29,000 in legal and professional fees, the increase of $303,000 in stock compensation expense and the increase of $100,000 in SG&A. The increase was partially offset between periods by the increase in gross margin of $79,000 and the loss from disposal of oil and gas properties in the period ended April 20, 2017.
Other income (expense). Other income (expense) improved by $5,000 from the quarter ended April 30, 2017 to the quarter ended April 30, 2018. The primary reason for the improvement in other income (expenses) is attributed to the recognition of $47,000 in a gain on derivative instruments, we are required to re-measure all derivative instruments at the end of each reporting period and adjust those instruments to market. The increase was offset by the recognition of $41,000 in interest expense from the amortization of debt discount during the period ended April 30, 2018.
Net loss attributed to Digerati Technologies, Inc. Net loss attributed to Digerati Technologies, Inc. increased by $146,000 or 26%, from the quarter ended April 30, 2017 to the quarter ended April 30, 2018.

Additionally, we had an increase of $7,000 in accounts receivables, had an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $28,000 and an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities for $221,000.
19 |
Cash used in investing activities during the period ended April 30, 2018 was $125,000 which was paid towards the acquisition of Synergy Telecom.
Cash provided by financing activities during the period ended April 30, 2018 was $2,517,000, the Company secured $360,000 from various accredited investors through the issuance of 720,000 restricted common shares with a price of $0.50 per share and 135,000 warrants with an exercise price of $0.50 per share. In addition, the Company secured $159,600, net of discounts under a convertible debenture and the Company secured $2,233,000 from various promissory notes, offset by repayment of principle of $235,000. Overall, our net operating, investing and financing activities during the period ended April 30, 2018 consumed approximately $54,000 of our available cash.
We are currently taking initiatives to reduce our overall cash deficiencies on a monthly basis. During fiscal 2018 we anticipate reducing fixed costs, professional fees 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. On May 2, 2018, the Company acquired T3 Communications, Inc., a leading provider of cloud communication and broadband solutions in Southwest Florida. The acquisition of T3 will allow the Company to accelerate its revenue growth and expand into new markets.
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, 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 $95,000 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 April 30, 2018, our total liabilities were approximately $4,021,000, which included $398,000 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 ongoing operations during Fiscal 2018. We used proceeds from the FirstFire financing to pay existing notes and we anticipate raising additional debt financing to meet our working capital needs.
In March 2018, the Company raised $80,000 through the issuance of 160,000 shares of common stock and three-year warrants to purchase 30,000 shares of common stock at $0.50 per share.
Digerati’s consolidated financial statements for the period ending April 30, 2018 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 accumulated a deficit of approximately $80,184,000 and a working capital deficit of approximately $707,000 which raises substantial doubt about Digerati’s ability to continue as a going concern.

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 April 30, 2018, 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.

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.

Item 5. Other Information.
On May 30, 2018, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with Firstfire Global Opportunities Fund, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Firstfire”). Under the agreement, we issued Firstfire a $305,556 principal amount of a convertible promissory note for a cash purchase price of $275,000 ( “Promissory note"), bearing interest at a rate of 6% per annum, with maturity on the first anniversary of the date of issuance. The Company paid Firstfire $2,500 for legal and compliance fees.

In connection with the execution of the securities purchase agreement, we issued 125,000 shares of our common stock to Firstfire as a commitment fee. At issuance, the Company recognized a non-cash expense for $58,750 for the market value of the shares issued to Firstfire.
The Promissory note provides Firstfire with the option to convert at any time on or after the 180th calendar day after the issue date, to convert all or any portion of the then outstanding and unpaid principal amount and interest under the Promissory note into shares of Common Stock of the Company at a conversion price for each share of Common Stock equal to the lower of (i) $0.50 (the "Fixed Conversion Price") , or (ii) 65% of the lowest closing bid price of the Company’s Common Stock during the twenty (20) consecutive trading day period immediately preceding the trading day that the Company receives a Notice of Conversion (the “Alternate Conversion Price”)
The Company may Prepay at any time prior to the 180th calendar day after the funding of the Promissory note all or part of the outstanding principal balance, with the exception of any portion thereof which is the subject of a previously-delivered notice of conversion, prior to the maturity date for an amount equal to: (i) if the prepayment date is 90 days or less from the date of issuance, 105% of the sum of the principal amount to be prepaid plus accrued interest, if any; (ii) if the prepayment date is greater than or equal to 91 days from the date of issuance and less than or equal to 120 days from the date of issuance, 110% of the sum of the principal amount to be prepaid plus accrued interest, if any; (iii) if the prepayment date is greater than or equal to 121 days from the date of issuance and less than or equal to 180 days from the date of issuance, 115% of the sum of the principal amount to be prepaid plus accrued interest, if any.

The holder may, at its sole discretion, determine to accept payment part in Common Stock and part in cash.
