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. ("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 fiscal year ended July 31, 2011, as reported in Form 10-K filed on October 31, 2011, have been omitted.

Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements of the prior period have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the current period for comparative purposes.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

Financial Condition

Digerati’s consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended October 31, 2011 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 $76,184,000 and a working capital deficit of approximately $1,971,000, which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Management Plans to Continue as a Going Concern

The Company continues to implement plans to enhance its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management has scaled back its operations and reduced operating costs to conserve capital while it secures additional sources of capital to fund its operations. Effective August 15, 2011, the executive officers and employees entered into a salary deferral program for 75% and 15% of their compensation, respectively. In addition, management also reduced its work force by 25% and it's downsized its office space by 70%.

On November 9, 2011, the Company entered into a nine month convertible promissory note with Asher Enterprise, Inc. for $37,500. The funds secured will be utilized to cover any cash short falls from operations. The Company will continue to work with Asher Enterprise and other funding sources to secure additional debt and equity financings. However, the Company 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 October 31, 2011 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.

Digerati analyzed the new note issued to Asher for derivative accounting consideration and determined that the embedded conversion option qualify as a derivative instrument, due to the variable conversion price.  However, because the note does not become convertible until after 180 days from the issuance date, no derivative liability is required to be recorded as of October 31, 2011.

On October 12, 2010, three of the warrant holders exercised their put rights and as a result, the Company made payments to the related warrant holders amounting to $75,000 which was charged to derivative liability and resulted in a remaining balance of $10,000 as of October 31, 2011.  The Company cancelled the related warrants as a result of the payment made for the put rights.

As of October 31, 2011, the Company was in default of its note with San Antonio National Bank. The Company was able to obtain a waiver from San Antonio National Bank for such defaults. Additionally, as of October 31, 2011 the Company was in default of its note with Thermo Credit, LLC due to its failure to meet certain debt covenant ratios. On October 19, 2011the Company entered into a forbearance agreement with Thermo Credit, LLC, in which the lender agreed to temporarily forbear the defaults under the promissory note.

NOTE 4 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

In September 2005, Digerati adopted its 2005 stock compensation plan.  This plan, as amended, authorizes the grant of up to 17.5 million warrants, 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 warrants, stock options and other awards vary based on the market price of the shares of common stock as of the date of grant.  The warrants, stock options, restricted common stock, non-restricted common stock and other awards vest based on the terms of the individual grant.
 
During the three months ended October 31, 2011, Digerati did not issue any stock-based awards to employees.

In November, 2011 we issued:
 
 
-
5,772,962 common shares to various employees as part of the Company’s profit sharing plan contribution.  The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $173,189 equivalent to the value of the shares calculated based on the share’s closing price at the grant dates.

 
-
1,333,333 common shares to our Board of Directors for services. The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $40,000 equivalent to the value of the shares calculated based on the share’s closing price at the grant dates.

As of October 31, 2011, Digerati had 11,499,000 outstanding options with a weighted average exercise price of $0.044, a weighted average remaining term of 4.51 years and an intrinsic value of $0.

As of October 31, 2011, Digerati had outstanding warrants totaling 425,000 with a weighted average exercise price of $0.18, a weighted average remaining term of 3.33 years and an intrinsic value of zero.

Digerati recognized approximately $10,000 and $258,000 in stock based compensation expense to employees and consultants during the quarters ended October 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Unamortized compensation cost totaled $33,825 and $14,028 at October 31, 2011 and October 31, 2010, respectively.

NOTE 5 – NON-STANDARDIZED PROFIT SHARING PLAN

           We currently provide a Non-Standardized Profit Sharing 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 $46,000 per year. Contributions under the plan are fully vested upon funding.  During the three months ended October 31, 2011 and 2010, we contributed $0 and $183,762, respectively.

NOTE 6 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On November 9, 2011, the Company entered into a Convertible Promissory Note with Asher Enterprises, Inc. with a principal amount of $37,500. The note has a term of nine months and carries an annual interest rate of 8%, compounded annually. If the note remains unpaid after six months from the issue date, the holder has the option to convert the principal and accrued interest into the Company’s common shares at a conversion price equal to the greater of 58% of the average of the lowest three trading prices during the ten day trading period prior to conversion or $.00009. The proceeds from this loan will be used to fund the Company’s working capital requirements.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SPECIAL NOTE:  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 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 31, 2011.

The following is a discussion of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Digerati for the three months ended October 31, 2011 and 2010.  It should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements, the Notes thereto, and the other financial information included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2011.  For purposes of the following discussion, fiscal 2012 or 2012 refers to the year ended July 31, 2012 and fiscal 2011 or 2011 refers to the year ended July 31, 2011.

Global VoIP Services. Global VoIP services revenue decreased by $2,185,000, or 52%, from the quarter ended October 31, 2010 to the quarter ended October 31, 2011.  Global VoIP minutes carried by our network decreased by 64% from approximately 120,992,987 minutes of voice traffic during the quarter ended October 31, 2010 to approximately 43,360,746 minutes of voice traffic during the quarter ended October 31, 2011.  Our average revenue per minute increased from $0.0348 during the quarter ended October 31, 2010 to $0.0467 for the quarter ended October 31, 2011. The increase in the average revenue per minute is attributable to the emphasis in targeting higher revenue rate per minute countries; as a result we experienced an increase between periods.
 
Cloud-based hosted Services. Cloud-based hosted services revenue increased by $11,000, or 25%, from the quarter ended October 31, 2010 to the quarter ended October 31, 2011. The increase in revenue between periods is primarily attributed to the increase in customers that are generating 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 $1,929,000 or 50%, from the quarter ended October 31, 2010 to the quarter ended October 31, 2011. The decrease in cost of services is a direct correlation to the decrease in Global VoIP services revenue.  Cost of services, as a percentage of revenue increased by 2.27% between periods, from 90.90% of revenue during the quarter ended October 31, 2010 to 93.17% of revenue during the quarter ended October 31, 2011.  The increase in cost of services as a percentage of revenue was due to the increase in costs from our vendors realized during the quarter ended October 31, 2011.

Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses (exclusive of legal and professional fees).  SG&A expenses decreased by $326,000, or 56%, from the quarter ended October 31, 2010 to the quarter ended October 31, 2011.  The decrease in SG&A is primarily attributed to the recognition of $258,000 in non-cash expense in 2010 related to a consulting agreement with various individuals for investor relations services and stock grants as contribution to the company sponsored 401K profit sharing plan.

Legal and professional fees. Legal and professional fees decreased by $7,000, or 13%, from the quarter ended October 31, 2010 to the quarter ended October 31, 2011.  The decrease is attributable to the cost reduction measures undertaken during the quarter ended October 31, 2011.  The emphasis during the quarter had been to reduce all legal expenses.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased by $2,000 or 8%, from the quarter ended October 31, 2010 to the quarter ended October 31, 2011.  The increase is as a result of the new assets acquired during the quarter ended October 31, 2011 that required recognition of additional depreciation.

Operating loss. The Company reported an operating loss of $185,000 for the three months ended October 31, 2011 compared to an operating loss of $271,000 for the three months end October 31, 2010.  The improvement in operating loss is primarily attributed to the decrease in SG&A of $326,000 between periods. The decrease in SG&A between periods is attributed to the recognition of $258,000 in non-cash expense related to a consulting agreement with various individuals for investor relations services and stock grants as contribution to the company sponsored 401K profit sharing plan during the quarter ended October 31, 2010; during the quarter ended October 31, 2011 we only recognized $10,000 of similar non-cash expense.

Other income (expense). Other expenses decreased by $5,000, or 11% from the quarter ended October 31, 2010 to the quarter ended October 31, 2011. The primary reason for the decrease in other expenses is attributed to the decrease in interest expense between periods associated with the overall decline in debt between periods.

Net Loss. Net loss decreased by $91,000 from the quarter ended October 31, 2010 to the quarter ended October 31, 2011.  The improvement in net loss is primarily attributed to the decrease in SG&A of $326,000 between periods. The decrease in SG&A between periods is attributed to the recognition of $258,000 in non-cash expense related to a consulting agreement with various individuals for investor relations services and stock grants as contribution to the company sponsored 401K profit sharing plan during the quarter ended October 31, 2010; during the quarter ended October 31, 2011 we only recognized $10,000 of similar non-cash expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Position:  We had a cash balance of $65,000 as of October 31, 2011. Net cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended October 31, 2011 was approximately $36,000. Investing activities during the three months ended October 31, 2011 consumed $30,000, consisting of the acquisition of various servers and computers. Financing activities during the three months ended October 31, 2011 provided $1,000 in cash.  We received proceeds of $50,000 from a promissory note during the three months ended October 31, 2011. The cash consumed during the period is associated with the debt principal payments of $51,000 related to various notes payable. Overall, our net operating, investing and financing activities during the three months ended October 31, 2011 provided $5,000 of cash inflows.

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 $97,000 per month, including wages, rent, utilities, corporate professional fees and debt service. As described elsewhere herein, we do not have sufficient funds to pay our ongoing operating expenses, or to pay our current liabilities which are approximately $2,447,000. We also need approximately $300,000 of additional working capital to fund our ongoing operations. However, we have accumulated a deficit of approximately $76,184,000 and a working capital deficit of approximately $1,971,000, which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

On November 9, 2011, we entered into a nine month convertible promissory note with Asher Enterprise, Inc. for $37,500; the funds secured will be utilized to cover any cash short falls from operations. We will continue to work with Asher Enterprise and other funding sources to secure additional debt and equity financings. However, we cannot offer any assurance that it will be successful in executing the aforementioned plans to continue as a going concern.
