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, 2018 contained in the Company’s Form 10-K filed on November 16, 2018 have been omitted.
Revenue Recognition
On August 1, 2018, we adopted Topic 606 using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of August 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after August 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historic accounting under Topic 605. There was no impact to the opening balance of accumulated deficit or revenues for the quarter ended October 31, 2018 as a result of applying Topic 606.
The Company recognizes cloud-based hosted services revenue, mainly from subscription services to its cloud-based hosted IP/PBX services, SIP trunking, call center applications, interactive voice response auto attendant, voice and web conferencing, call recording, simultaneous calling, voicemail to email conversion, integrated mobility applications that are device and location agnostic, and multiple customized IP/PBX features in a hosted or cloud environment. 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. 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.
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 or, alternatively, customers may also choose to perform these services themselves or engage their own third-party service providers. Professional services revenue is recognized over time, generally as customer services are activated.
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 Revenue
Summary of disaggregated revenue is as follows (in thousands):
For the three months ended | ||||||||
October 31, | ||||||||
2018 | 2017 | |||||||
Service revenue | $ | 1,474 | $ | 55 | ||||
Product revenue | 48 | - | ||||||
Total revenue | $ | 1,522 | $ | 55 |
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,
2018 and July 31, 2018, were $19,405 and $12,155, respectively.
Deferred Income
Deferred income represent billings or payments 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, 2018 and July 31, 2018, were $390,000 and $262,000,
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, 2018. and year ended October 31, 2017, were $10,620 and $4,000, respectively.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
Financial Condition
Digerati’s consolidated financial statements for the three months ending October 31, 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 $81,714,000 and a working capital deficit of approximately $4,262,000 which raises doubt about Digerati’s ability to continue as a going concern.
5
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 consolidated financial statements as of October 31, 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 4 – 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 three months ended October 31, 2018, we did not issue any stock to employees.
During the three months ended October 31, 2018 we issued the following to settle accounts payables:
● | In September 2018, the Company issued an aggregate of 21,672 shares of common stock with a market value at time of issuance of $5,794. The shares were issued to settle accounts payables of $5,287 to a professional, the Company recognized a loss of $507 upon issuance of the shares. This loss is immaterial, thus presented in stock-based compensation expense on the statement of cash flows. |
Digerati recognized approximately $95,000 and $51,000 in stock-based compensation expense to employees during the three months ended October 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Unamortized compensation cost totaled $294,000 and $34,000 at October 31, 2018 and October 31, 2017, respectively.
A summary of the stock options as of October 31, 2018 and July 31, 2018 and the changes during the three months ended October 31, 2018 and July 31,2018:
Weighted-average | ||||||||||||
Weighted-average | remaining contractual term | |||||||||||

The aggregate intrinsic value (the difference between the Company’s closing stock price on the last trading day of the three months and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) of the 3,415,000 and 3,415,000 stock options outstanding at October 31, 2018 and July 31, 2018 was $34,500 and $706,372, respectively.
The aggregate intrinsic value of 2,448,701 and 2,006,111 stock options exercisable at October 31, 2018 and July 31, 2018 was $34,500 and $587,389, respectively.
NOTE 5 – 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 three months ended October 31, 2018 and October 31, 2017, the Company did not make any contributions under the plan.
7
NOTE 6 – WARRANTS
During the three months ended October 31, 2018, the Company issued the following warrants:
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 Company adopted a sequencing policy, and determined that the warrants with fixed exercise price were excluded from derivative consideration.
In October 2018, Digerati issued 200,000 warrants under an extension of payments to an existing promissory note, with a current principal balance of $75,000, the warrants vested at time of issuance. The warrants have a term of 3 years, with an exercise price of $0.10. Under a Black-Scholes valuation the relative fair market value of the warrants at time of issuance was approximately $38,000 and was recognized as a discount on the promissory note, the company will amortize the fair market value as interest expense over 3 months. The Company adopted a sequencing policy, and determined that the warrants with fixed exercise price were excluded from derivative consideration.
The fair market value of all warrants issued was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model which used the following assumptions:
Expected dividend yield | 0.00% |
Expected stock price volatility | 153.99% - 237.00% |
Risk-free interest rate | 2.05% -2.93% |
Expected term | 3.0 - 5.0 years |
A summary of the warrants as of October 31, 2018 and July 31, 2018 and the changes during the three months ended October 31, 2018 and July 31, 2018 are presented below:

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, 2018 and July 31, 2018 were $771,524 and $632,268, respectively.

Expected stock price volatility | 165.84% - 179.03% |
Risk-free interest rate | 2.21% -2.93% |
Expected term | 0.58 - 2.75 years |
Level 3 inputs.
The following table provides a summary of the changes in fair value of the derivative financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs:
Balance at July 31, 2018 | $ | 632,268 | ||
Derivative loss | 139,256 | |||
Balance at October 31, 2018 | $ | 771,524 |

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, 2018 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 16, 2018.
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, 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, 2018 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 16, 2018. For purposes of the following discussion, fiscal 2019 or 2019 refers to the year ended July 31, 2019 and fiscal 2018 or 2018 refers to the year ended July 31, 2018.
Overview
Digerati Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (including our subsidiaries, “we,” “us,” “Company” or “Digerati”), through its operating subsidiaries, Shift8 Networks, Inc., dba Synergy Telecom (“Shift8”) 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, and cloud WAN solutions. 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 poor customer support model.
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 smart-phones 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.

Results of Operations
Three Months ended October 31, 2018 Compared to Three Months ended October 31, 2017
Cloud-based hosted Services. Cloud-based hosted services revenue increased by $1,467,000, or 2667% from the three months ended October 31, 2017 to the three months ended October 31, 2018. The increase in revenue between periods is primarily attributed to the increase in total customers acquired from the acquisitions of T3 Communications, Inc. and Synergy Telecom's assets. Our total number of customers increased from 51 customers at the end of the three months ended October 31, 2017 to 638 customers at the end of the three months ended October 31, 2018. Additionally, our average monthly revenue per customer increased from $333 for the three months ended October 31, 2017 to $792 for the three months ended October 31, 2018.

The cost of services increased by $712,000, or 1582%, from the three months ended October 31, 2017 to the three months ended October 31, 2018. The increase in cost of services between periods is primarily attributed to the additional costs arising from our acquisitions and the acquired customers. Although our consolidated cost of services increases between periods, our consolidated gross margin increased from 18% during the three months ended October 31, 2017 to 50% during the tree moths ended October 31, 2018. The increase in gross margin between periods is attributed to a higher concentration of enterprise customers revenue, which generate a higher margin than services provided via resellers.
Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses (exclusive of legal and professional fees). SG&A expenses increased by $542,000, or 270%, from the three months ended October 31, 2017 to the three months ended October 31, 2018. The increase in SG&A expenses between periods is primarily attributed to the additional salaries and other employee related expenses of approximately $436,000 attributable to the T3 Communications, Inc. acquisition and $105,000 increase in additional salaries and other related expenses attributable to the asset acquisition from Synergy Telecom.
Stock Compensation. Stock compensation expense increased by $88,000, from the three months ended October 31, 2017 to the three months ended October 31, 2018. The increase between periods is attributed to the recognition of stock option expense of $96,000 recognized during the three months ended October 31, 2018 associated with the stock options awarded to various employees during FY2017 and FY2018. The Company also recognized $48,000 in warrant expense for warrants issued for professional services during the period ended October 31, 2018.
Legal and professional fees. Legal and professional fees increased by $5,000, or 4%, from three months ended October 31, 2017 to the three months ended October 31, 2018.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased by $166,000, from the three months ended October 31, 2017 to the three months ended October 31, 2018, mainly due to increase in amortization expense and depreciation expense related to the intangible and tangible assets obtained in the acquisitions of T3 Communications Inc., and Synergy Telecom during fiscal 2018.

Operating loss. The Company reported an operating loss of $413,000 for the three months ended October 31, 2018 compared to an operating loss of $370,000 for the three months ended October 31, 2017. The increase in operating loss between periods is primarily due to the increase of $542,000 in SG&A, the increase of $88,000 in stock compensation expense, the increase of $5,000 in legal and professional fees, and the increase of $166,000 in depreciation and amortization expense. The increase was offset between periods by the increase in gross margin of $755,000 and the recognition of $3,000 in recovery of bad debt for accounts that were previously deemed uncollectable.
Gain (loss) on derivative instruments. Gain (loss) on derivative instruments increased by $139,000 between periods. 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 a loss between periods.
Income tax expense. During the three months ended October 31, 2018, the Company recognized an income tax expense of $13,000. The primary reason for the income tax expense is due to the accrual of state income tax.
Interest expense. Interest income (expense) increased by $376,000 from the three months ended October 31, 2017 to the three months ended October 31, 2018. The primary reason for the increase in interest expenses is attributed to the recognition of non-cash interest / accretion expense of $259,000 related to the adjustment to the present value of various convertible notes and debentures. Additionally, the company recognized $89,000 in interest expense for cash interest payments on various promissory notes, accrual of $30,000 for interest expense for various promissory notes and interest income of $2,000.
Net income (loss) including noncontrolling interest. Net loss including noncontrolling interest for the three months ended October 31, 2018 was $941,000 compared to a net loss for the three months ended October 31, 2017 of $370,000. The increase in net loss including noncontrolling interest between periods is primarily due to the increase of $542,000 in SG&A, the increase of $88,000 in stock compensation expense, the increase of $5,000 in legal and professional fees, the increase of $166,000 in depreciation and amortization expense, the increase in loss on derivative instruments of $139,000 and the increase in interest expense of $376,000. The increase was offset between periods by the increase in gross margin of $755,000 and the recognition of $3,000 in recovery of bad debt for accounts that were previously deemed uncollectable.
Noncontrolling interest. During the three months ended October 31, 2018, the consolidated entity recognized a gain on noncontrolling interest of $27,000. 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 three months ended October 31, 2018 was $914,000 compared to a net loss for the three months ended October 31, 2017 of $370,000. The increase in net loss between periods is primarily due to the increase of $542,000 in SG&A, the increase of $88,000 in stock compensation expense, the increase of $5,000 in legal and professional fees, the increase of $166,000 in depreciation and amortization expense, the increase in loss on derivative instruments of $139,000 and the increase in interest expense of $376,000. The increase was offset between periods by the increase in gross margin of $755,000 and the recognition of $3,000 in recovery of bad debt for accounts that were previously deemed uncollectable.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Position: We had a consolidated cash balance of $591,000 as of October 31, 2018. Net cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended October 31, 2018 was approximately $156,000, primarily as a result of operating expenses, that included $144,000 in stock compensation and warrant expense, depreciation and amortization expense of $170,000. Additionally, we had an increase of $26,000 in accounts payable, increase in accrued expenses of $153,000, decrease in accounts receivables of $39,000, increase in deferred income of $128,000 and a decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $42,000.
Cash used in investing activities during the three months ended October 31, 2018 was $15,000, which included $15,000 of cash paid for the purchase of equipment.
15
Cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended October 31, 2018 was $62,000, the Company secured $40,000 from an accredited investor through the issuance of 80,000 restricted common shares with a price of $0.50 per share and 15,000 warrants with an exercise price of $0.50 per share. In addition, the Company secured $100,000 from 3rd party promissory notes. Also, the Company made principal payments of $31,000 on related notes, $40,000 in principal payments on convertible notes, and $7,000 in principal payments on financing leases. Overall, our net operating, investing and financing activities during the three months ended October 31, 2018 provided approximately $203,000 of our available cash.
We are currently taking initiatives to reduce our overall cash deficiencies on a monthly basis. During fiscal 2019 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. During the year ended fiscal 2018, the Company acquired T3 Communications, Inc., a leading provider of cloud communication and Internet broadband solutions in Southwest Florida. The acquisition of T3 allowed 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 October 31, 2018, our total liabilities were approximately $6,207,000, which included $772,000 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 2019. We used proceeds secured from 3rd party promissory notes to pay existing notes and we anticipate raising additional debt financing to meet our working capital needs.
During Fiscal 2019, the Company raised $40,000 through the issuance of 80,000 shares of common stock and three-year warrants to purchase 15,000 shares of common stock at $0.50 per share.
Digerati’s consolidated financial statements for the three months ending October 31, 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 $81,714,000 and a working capital deficit of approximately $4,262,000 which raises substantial doubt about Digerati’s ability to continue as a going concern.
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, 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. 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.

PROMISSORY NOTE
$25,000 | San Antonio, Texas | October 12, 2018 |
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, DIGERATI TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a Nevada corporation, whose address is 1600 NE Loop 410, Suite 126, San Antonio, Texas 78209 (the “Debtor”), promises to pay to the order of Danny W. Mills, whose address is 122 Foxhall Cove, San Antonio, Texas 78213, (the “Payee”), the sum of TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($25,000) in lawful money of the United States of America which shall be legal tender for the payment of debts from time to time, together with interest on the outstanding principal amount hereof at the rate of eight percent (8%) interest per annum, computed on the basis of a 360-day year and 30-day months.
This Note shall be payable in monthly payments of interest only and a single payment of the outstanding principal amount plus any accrued interest, without demand, on November 12, 2018 (the “Maturity Date”). If the Maturity Date shall be a Saturday, Sunday, or day on which Banks in San Antonio, Texas, or the place of payment are authorized or required to be closed, such payment shall be made on the next following day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or day on which banks in San Antonio, Texas, or the place of payment are authorized or required to be closed and interest thereon shall continue to accrue thereon until such date. Debtor agrees that it will use its best efforts to pay this Note prior to the maturity date, and there is no penalty for satisfying the obligations under this Note prior to the Maturity Date.
Time is of the essence of this Note, and the Debtor expressly agrees that in the event of default in the payment of any principal or interest when due, the Payee may declare the entirety of this Note immediately due and payable. Upon the occurrence of any default hereunder, the Payee shall also have the right to exercise any and all of the rights, remedies and recourses now or hereafter existing in equity, law, by virtue of statute or otherwise.
In the event that any payment is not made when due, either of principal or interest, and whether upon maturity or as a result of acceleration, interest shall thereafter accrue at the rate per annum equal to the lesser of (a) the maximum non-usurious rate of interest permitted by the laws of the State of Texas or the United States of America, whichever shall permit the higher rate or (b) twenty percent (20%) per annum, from such date until the entire balance of principal and accrued interest on this Note has been paid.
Debtor has the privilege of making prepayments on this Note from time to time in any amount without penalty provided that any such prepayment shall be applied to unpaid interest on this Note and the balance, if any, to the principal amount payable under this Note.
No failure to exercise and no delay on the part of Payee in exercising any power or right in connection herewith shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. No course of dealing between Debtor and Payee shall operate as a waiver of any right of Payee. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Note or any consent to any departure therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the person against whom enforcement thereof is to be sought, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.
In the event of default or if payment of this Note is not made when due or declared due, and the same is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection, or suit is brought on same, or the same is collected through any judicial proceeding whatsoever, or if any action be had hereon, then Debtor agrees and promises to pay an additional amount as reasonable, calculated and foreseeable attorneys’ and collection fees incurred by Payee in connection with enforcing its rights herein contemplated.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, Debtor hereby waives grace, notice, demand or presentment for payment of this Note, dishonor, notice of dishonor, notice of default or nonpayment, protest, notice of protest, suit, notice of intention to accelerate, notice of acceleration, diligence or any notice of or defense on account of the extension of time of payments or change in the method of payments, and consents to any and all renewals and extensions in the time of payment hereof, and the release of any party primarily or secondarily liable hereon.
It is expressly provided and stipulated that notwithstanding any provision of this Note, in no event shall the aggregate of all interest paid by Debtor to Payee hereunder ever exceed the maximum non-usurious rate of interest which may lawfully be charged Debtor under the laws of the State of Texas or United States Federal Government, as applicable, on the principal balance of this Note remaining unpaid. It is expressly stipulated and agreed by Debtor that it is the intent of Payee and Debtor in the execution and delivery of this Note to contract in furtherance of such laws, and that none of the terms of this Note shall ever be construed to create a contract to pay for the use, forbearance or detention of money, at any interest rate in excess of the maximum non-usurious rate of interest permitted to be charged Debtor under the laws of the State of Texas or United States Federal Government, as applicable. The provisions of this paragraph shall govern over all other provisions of this Note should any such provisions be in apparent conflict herewith.
2
Specifically, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph, it is expressly provided that:
(i) In the event of prepayment of the principal of this Note, in whole or in part, or the payment of the principal of this Note prior to the Maturity Date, whether resulting from acceleration of the maturity of this Note or otherwise, if the aggregate amount of interest accruing hereon prior to such payment plus the amount of any interest accruing after maturity and plus any other amount paid or accrued in connection with the indebtedness evidenced hereby which by law are deemed interest on the indebtedness evidenced by the Note and which aggregate amounts paid or accrued (if calculated in accordance with the provisions of this Note other than this paragraph) would exceed the maximum non-usurious rate of interest which could lawfully be charged as above mentioned on the unpaid principal balance of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note from time to time advanced (less any discount) and remaining unpaid from the date advanced to the date of final payment thereof, then in such event the amount of such excess shall be credited, as of the date paid, toward the payment of the principal of this Note so as to reduce the amount of the final payment of principal due on this Note, or if the principal amount hereof has been paid in full, refunded to Debtor.
(ii) If under any circumstances the aggregate amounts paid on the indebtedness evidenced by this Note prior to and incident to the final payment hereof include amounts which by law are deemed interest and which would exceed the maximum non-usurious rate of interest which could lawfully have been charged or collected on this Note, as above mentioned, Debtor stipulates that (a) any non-principal payment shall be characterized as an expense, fee, or premium rather than as interest and any excess shall be credited hereon by the holder hereof (or, if this Note shall have been paid in full, refunded to Debtor); and (b) determination of the rate of interest for determining whether the indebtedness evidenced hereby is usurious shall be made by amortizing, prorating, allocating, and spreading, in equal parts during the full stated term hereof, all interest at any time contracted for, charged, or received from Debtor in connection with such indebtedness, and any excess shall be canceled, credited, or refunded as set forth in (a) herein.
Any check, draft, money order, or other instrument given in payment of all or any portion of this Note may be accepted by Payee and handled in collection in the customary manner, but the same shall not constitute payment hereunder or diminish any rights of Payee except to the extent that actual cash proceeds of such instruments are unconditionally received by Payee. If at any time any payment of the principal of or interest on this Note is rescinded or must be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Debtor or otherwise, the obligation under this Note with respect to that payment shall be reinstated as though the payment had been due but not made at that time.
Debtor agrees that this Note shall be freely assignable to any assignee of Payee, subject to compliance with applicable securities laws.
Debtor represents and warrants that the extension of credit represented by this Note is for business, commercial, investment, or other similar purposes and not primarily for personal, family, household or agricultural use.
This Note has been executed and delivered and shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Texas and of the United States of America applicable in Texas. Venue for any litigation between Debtor and Payee with respect to this Note shall be Bexar County, Texas. Debtor and Payee hereby irrevocably submit to personal jurisdiction in Texas and venue in Bexar County for purposes of such litigation.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, DIGERATI TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a Nevada corporation, whose address is 1600 NE Loop 410, Suite 126, San Antonio, Texas 78209 (the “Debtor”), promises to pay to the order of Graham Gardner whose address is 3604 Beverly Drive, Dallas, Texas 75205, (the “Payee”), the sum of FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($50,000) in lawful money of the United States of America which shall be legal tender for the payment of debts from time to time, together with interest on the outstanding principal amount hereof at the rate of eight percent (8%) interest per annum, computed on the basis of a 360-day year and 30-day months. This Note shall be secured by the Debtor in accordance with the Pledge and Security Agreement (“Agreement”) of the same date between the Debtor and the Payee, which Agreement sets out the collateral set aside by the Debtor to collateralize its obligations under this Note.
This Note shall be payable in monthly payments of interest only and a single payment of the outstanding principal amount plus any accrued interest, without demand, on December 31, 2018 (the “Maturity Date”). If the Maturity Date shall be a Saturday, Sunday, or day on which Banks in San Antonio, Texas, or the place of payment are authorized or required to be closed, such payment shall be made on the next following day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or day on which banks in San Antonio, Texas, or the place of payment are authorized or required to be closed and interest thereon shall continue to accrue thereon until such date. Debtor agrees that it will use its best efforts to pay this Note prior to the maturity date, and there is no penalty for satisfying the obligations under this Note prior to the Maturity Date.
Time is of the essence of this Note, and the Debtor expressly agrees that in the event of default in the payment of any principal or interest when due, the Payee may declare the entirety of this Note immediately due and payable. Upon the occurrence of any default hereunder, the Payee shall also have the right to exercise any and all of the rights, remedies and recourses now or hereafter existing in equity, law, by virtue of statute or otherwise.
In the event that any payment is not made when due, either of principal or interest, and whether upon maturity or as a result of acceleration, interest shall thereafter accrue at the rate per annum equal to the lesser of (a) the maximum non-usurious rate of interest permitted by the laws of the State of Texas or the United States of America, whichever shall permit the higher rate or (b) twenty percent (20%) per annum, from such date until the entire balance of principal and accrued interest on this Note has been paid.
Debtor has the privilege of making prepayments on this Note from time to time in any amount without penalty provided that any such prepayment shall be applied to unpaid interest on this Note and the balance, if any, to the principal amount payable under this Note.
No failure to exercise and no delay on the part of Payee in exercising any power or right in connection herewith shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. No course of dealing between Debtor and Payee shall operate as a waiver of any right of Payee. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Note or any consent to any departure therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the person against whom enforcement thereof is to be sought, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.
In the event of default or if payment of this Note is not made when due or declared due, and the same is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection, or suit is brought on same, or the same is collected through any judicial proceeding whatsoever, or if any action be had hereon, then Debtor agrees and promises to pay an additional amount as reasonable, calculated and foreseeable attorneys’ and collection fees incurred by Payee in connection with enforcing its rights herein contemplated.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, Debtor hereby waives grace, notice, demand or presentment for payment of this Note, dishonor, notice of dishonor, notice of default or nonpayment, protest, notice of protest, suit, notice of intention to accelerate, notice of acceleration, diligence or any notice of or defense on account of the extension of time of payments or change in the method of payments, and consents to any and all renewals and extensions in the time of payment hereof, and the release of any party primarily or secondarily liable hereon.
It is expressly provided and stipulated that notwithstanding any provision of this Note, in no event shall the aggregate of all interest paid by Debtor to Payee hereunder ever exceed the maximum non-usurious rate of interest which may lawfully be charged Debtor under the laws of the State of Texas or United States Federal Government, as applicable, on the principal balance of this Note remaining unpaid. It is expressly stipulated and agreed by Debtor that it is the intent of Payee and Debtor in the execution and delivery of this Note to contract in furtherance of such laws, and that none of the terms of this Note shall ever be construed to create a contract to pay for the use, forbearance or detention of money, at any interest rate in excess of the maximum non-usurious rate of interest permitted to be charged Debtor under the laws of the State of Texas or United States Federal Government, as applicable. The provisions of this paragraph shall govern over all other provisions of this Note should any such provisions be in apparent conflict herewith.
2
Specifically, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph, it is expressly provided that:
(i) In the event of prepayment of the principal of this Note, in whole or in part, or the payment of the principal of this Note prior to the Maturity Date, whether resulting from acceleration of the maturity of this Note or otherwise, if the aggregate amount of interest accruing hereon prior to such payment plus the amount of any interest accruing after maturity and plus any other amount paid or accrued in connection with the indebtedness evidenced hereby which by law are deemed interest on the indebtedness evidenced by the Note and which aggregate amounts paid or accrued (if calculated in accordance with the provisions of this Note other than this paragraph) would exceed the maximum non-usurious rate of interest which could lawfully be charged as above mentioned on the unpaid principal balance of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note from time to time advanced (less any discount) and remaining unpaid from the date advanced to the date of final payment thereof, then in such event the amount of such excess shall be credited, as of the date paid, toward the payment of the principal of this Note so as to reduce the amount of the final payment of principal due on this Note, or if the principal amount hereof has been paid in full, refunded to Debtor.
(ii) If under any circumstances the aggregate amounts paid on the indebtedness evidenced by this Note prior to and incident to the final payment hereof include amounts which by law are deemed interest and which would exceed the maximum non-usurious rate of interest which could lawfully have been charged or collected on this Note, as above mentioned, Debtor stipulates that (a) any non-principal payment shall be characterized as an expense, fee, or premium rather than as interest and any excess shall be credited hereon by the holder hereof (or, if this Note shall have been paid in full, refunded to Debtor); and (b) determination of the rate of interest for determining whether the indebtedness evidenced hereby is usurious shall be made by amortizing, prorating, allocating, and spreading, in equal parts during the full stated term hereof, all interest at any time contracted for, charged, or received from Debtor in connection with such indebtedness, and any excess shall be canceled, credited, or refunded as set forth in (a) herein.
Any check, draft, money order, or other instrument given in payment of all or any portion of this Note may be accepted by Payee and handled in collection in the customary manner, but the same shall not constitute payment hereunder or diminish any rights of Payee except to the extent that actual cash proceeds of such instruments are unconditionally received by Payee. If at any time any payment of the principal of or interest on this Note is rescinded or must be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Debtor or otherwise, the obligation under this Note with respect to that payment shall be reinstated as though the payment had been due but not made at that time.
Debtor agrees that this Note shall be freely assignable to any assignee of Payee, subject to compliance with applicable securities laws.
Debtor represents and warrants that the extension of credit represented by this Note is for business, commercial, investment, or other similar purposes and not primarily for personal, family, household or agricultural use.
3
This Note has been executed and delivered and shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Texas and of the United States of America applicable in Texas. Venue for any litigation between Debtor and Payee with respect to this Note shall be Bexar County, Texas. Debtor and Payee hereby irrevocably submit to personal jurisdiction in Texas and venue in Bexar County for purposes of such litigation.
THIS NOTE REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN DEBTOR AND PAYEE AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN DEBTOR AND PAYEE.
THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN DEBTOR AND PAYEE.

This Pledge and Security Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into October 22, 2018 by and between Digerati Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and TV Fund VII, LP (the “Secured Party”).
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Secured Party has made certain financial accommodations for the benefit of the Company pursuant to that certain Promissory Note of even date herewith among the Company and Secured Party (the “Note”); and
WHEREAS, in order to secure the full and prompt payment when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of all of the Company’s obligations to the Secured Party, or any successor to the Secured Party, under the Note, the Company has agreed to irrevocably pledge to the Secured Party the Purchase Price Adjustment in favor of the Company under that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger dated May 8, 2017 between Shift8 Technologies, Inc., T3 Acquisition, Inc., T3 Communications, Inc. and representative of the Shareholders of T3 Communications, Inc.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, agreements, warranties, and representations herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Grant of Security Interest. As security for the payment of the Note and any renewal, extension or modification of the Note, the Company, hereby grants to the Secured Party a security interest in, and pledges to the Secured Party the Purchase Price Adjustment in favor of the Company under that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger dated May 8, 2017 between Shift8 Technologies, Inc., T3 Acquisition, Inc., T3 Communications, Inc. and representative of the Shareholders of T3 Communications, Inc.
2. Warranties. Secured Party hereby warrants that the Company is the owner of the Collateral and has the right to pledge the Collateral. The Company further represents and warrants that it has net assets (not including the Collateral) in excess of the amount of the Note.
3. Rights Upon Default. In the event of default in payment when due of any indebtedness under the Note, the Secured Party may elect then, or at any time thereafter, to exercise all rights available to a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code, including the right to demand transfer of the Collateral to the Secured Party. The transfer of the Collateral to the Secured Party, which will be in the form of cash, shall be applied in the following order:
(a) To the extent necessary, cash shall be used to pay all reasonable expenses of the Secured Party in enforcing this Agreement and the Note, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses incurred by the Secured Party.
(b) To the extent necessary, cash shall be used to satisfy any remaining indebtedness under the Note.
5
(c) Any remaining cash shall be returned to the Company.
4. Release of Collateral. Promptly after full payment by Company of all principal, accrued interest and other amounts outstanding under the Note, Secured Party shall deliver to Company acknowledgement of full payment and Company shall thereupon be discharged of all further obligations under this Agreement.
5. Payment of Taxes and Other Charges. The Company shall pay, prior to the delinquency date, all taxes, assessments and other charges against the Collateral, and in the event of the Company’s failure to do so, the Secured Party may at its election pay any or all of such taxes and charges without contesting the validity or legality thereof. Any payments so made by the Secured Party shall become part of the indebtedness secured hereunder and until paid shall bear interest at the minimum per annum rate, compounded annually, required to avoid the imputation of interest income to the Secured Party and income to the Company under the federal tax laws.
6. Assignment of Collateral. In connection with the assignment of the Note (whether by negotiation, discount or otherwise), the Secured Party may assign all or any part of the Collateral, and the transferee shall thereupon succeed to all the rights, powers and remedies granted the Secured Party hereunder with respect to the Collateral so assigned. Upon such assignment, the Secured Party shall be fully discharged from all liability and responsibility for the assigned Collateral.
7. Costs and Expenses. All costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Secured Party in the exercise or enforcement of any right, power or remedy granted it under this Agreement shall become part of the indebtedness secured hereunder and shall constitute a liability of Company payable immediately upon demand and bearing interest until paid.
8. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is deemed invalid or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability, without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
9. Waiver. No provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been waived unless such waiver is in writing signed by the waiving party. No failure by any party to insist upon the strict performance of any provision of this Agreement, or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, shall constitute a waiver of any such breach, of such provision or of any other provision. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement or a waiver of such provision with respect to any subsequent breach, unless expressly provided in writing.
10. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which when taken together shall constitute one agreement binding on all parties, notwithstanding that all parties are not signatories to the same counterpart. This Agreement may be executed with signatures transmitted among the parties by facsimile, and no party shall deny the validity of a signature or this Agreement signed and transmitted by facsimile on the grounds that a signature is represented by facsimile rather than an original.
6
11. Further Assurances. Each party agrees, at the request of the other party, at any time and from time to time after the date hereof, promptly to execute and deliver all such further documents, and promptly to take and forbear from all such action, as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in order to more effectively confirm or carry out the provisions of this Agreement.
The parties have executed this Pledge and Security Agreement as of the date first set forth above.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION | 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, 2018 contained in the Company’s Form 10-K filed on November 16, 2018 have been omitted.
Revenue Recognition
On August 1, 2018, we adopted Topic 606 using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of August 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after August 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historic accounting under Topic 605. There was no impact to the opening balance of accumulated deficit or revenues for the quarter ended October 31, 2018 as a result of applying Topic 606.
The Company recognizes cloud-based hosted services revenue, mainly from subscription services to its cloud-based hosted IP/PBX services, SIP trunking, call center applications, interactive voice response auto attendant, voice and web conferencing, call recording, simultaneous calling, voicemail to email conversion, integrated mobility applications that are device and location agnostic, and multiple customized IP/PBX features in a hosted or cloud environment. 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. 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.
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 or, alternatively, customers may also choose to perform these services themselves or engage their own third-party service providers. Professional services revenue is recognized over time, generally as customer services are activated.
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 Revenue
Summary of disaggregated revenue is as follows (in thousands):

GOING CONCERN | NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
Financial Condition
Digerati’s consolidated financial statements for the three months ending October 31, 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 $81,714,000 and a working capital deficit of approximately $4,262,000 which raises 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 consolidated financial statements as of October 31, 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. |

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, 2018 and July 31, 2018 were $771,524 and $632,268, respectively.
The fair market value of all derivatives during the three months ended October 31, 2018 was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model which used the following assumptions:
Level 3 inputs.
The following table provides a summary of the changes in fair value of the derivative financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs:
