Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2019

 

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations

 

The Company was originally incorporated in 1988 in the state of Florida. TPT Global, Inc., a Nevada corporation formed in June 2014, merged with Ally Pharma US, Inc., a Florida corporation, (“Ally Pharma”, formerly known as Gold Royalty Corporation) in a “reverse merger” wherein Ally Pharma issued 110,000,000 shares of Common Stock, or 80% ownership, to the owners of TPT Global, Inc. in exchange for all outstanding common stock of TPT Global Inc. and Ally Pharma agreed to change its name to TPT Global Tech, Inc. (jointly referred to as “the Company” or “TPTG”).

 

The following acquisitions have resulted in entities which have been consolidated into TPTG. In 2014 the Company acquired all the assets of K Telecom and Wireless LLC (“K Telecom”) and Global Telecom International LLC (“Global Telecom”). Effective January 31, 2015, TPTG completed its acquisition of 100% of the outstanding stock of Copperhead Digital Holdings, Inc. (“Copperhead Digital”) and Subsidiaries, TruCom, LLC (“TruCom”), Nevada Utilities, Inc. (“Nevada Utilities”) and CityNet Arizona, LLC (“CityNet”). Effective September 30, 2016, the company acquired 100% ownership in San Diego Media Inc. (“SDM”). In October 2017, we entered into agreements to acquire Blue Collar, Inc. (“Blue Collar”) which closed as of September 1, 2018.

 

We are based in San Diego, California, and operate as a Media Content Hub for Domestic and International syndication Technology/Telecommunications company operating on our own proprietary Global Digital Media TV and Telecommunications infrastructure platform and also provide technology solutions to businesses domestically and worldwide. We offer Software as a Service (SaaS), Technology Platform as a Service (PAAS), Cloud-based Unified Communication as a Service (UCaaS) and carrier-grade performance and support for businesses over our private IP MPLS fiber and wireless network in the United States. Our cloud-based UCaaS services allow businesses of any size to enjoy all the latest voice, data, media and collaboration features in today's global technology markets. We also operate as a Master Distributor for Nationwide Mobile Virtual network Operators (MVNO) and Independent Sales Organization (ISO) as a Master Distributor for Pre-Paid Cellphone services, Mobile phones, Cellphone Accessories and Global Roaming Cellphones. In addition, we create media marketing materials and content.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared according to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Section 210.8-03(b) of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and, therefore, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been omitted.

 

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019.

 

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2019, has been derived from the consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP.

 

Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of K Telecom and Global Telecom, Copperhead Digital, SDM, Port 2 Port, and Blue Collar. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Revenue Recognition

 

On January 1, 2018, we adopted the new accounting standard ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and all of the related amendments (“new revenue standard”). We recorded the change, which was immaterial, related to adopting the new revenue standard using the modified retrospective method. Under this method, we recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying the new revenue standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. This results in no restatement of prior periods, which continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. We expect the impact of the adoption of the new revenue standard to continue to be immaterial on an ongoing basis. We have applied the new revenue standard to all contracts as of the date of initial application.

 

The Company’s revenue generation for the last two years came from the following sources, which sources are explained in detail below.

 

 

   For the three months ended March 31, 2019  For the three months ended March 31, 2018
Copperhead Digital  $67,700   $122,735 
K Telecom   18,683    41,650 
San Diego Media   13,343    71,405 
Blue Collar   61,750    —   
P2P   —      14,428 
Total Revenue  $161,476   $250,218 

 

Copperhead Digital: ISP and Telecom Revenue

 

Copperhead Digital is a regional internet and telecom services provider operating in Arizona under the trade name Trucom. Copperhead Digital operates as a wireless telecommunications Internet Service Provider (“ISP”) facilitating both residential and commercial accounts. Copperhead Digital’s primary business model is subscription based, pre-paid monthly reoccurring revenues, from wireless delivered, high-speed internet connections. In addition, the company resells third-party satellite and DSL internet and IP telephony services. Revenue generated from sales of telecommunications services is recognized as the transaction with the customer is considered closed and the customer receives and accepts the services that were the result of the transaction. Due date is detailed on monthly invoices distributed to customer. Services billed monthly in advance are deferred to the proper period as needed. Certain of our products require specialized installation and equipment. For telecom products that include installation, if the installation meets the criteria to be considered a separate element, product revenue is recognized upon delivery, and installation revenue is recognized when the installation is complete. The Installation Technician collects the signed quote containing terms and conditions when installing the site equipment at customer premises.

 

Revenue for installation services and equipment is billed separately from recurring ISP and telecom services, and is recognized when equipment is delivered and installation is completed. Revenue from ISP and telecom services is recognized monthly over the contractual period, or as services are rendered and accepted by the customer.

 

The overwhelming majority of our revenue continues to be recognized when transactions occur. Since installation fees are generally small relative to the size of the overall contract and because most contracts are for a year or less, the impact of not recognizing installation fees over the contract is immaterial.

 

K Telecom: Prepaid Phones and SIM Cards Revenue

 

K Telecom generates revenue from reselling prepaid phones, SIM cards, and rechargeable minute traffic for prepaid phones to its customers (primarily retail outlets). Product sales occur at the customer’s locations, at which time delivery occurs and cash or check payment is received. The Company recognizes the revenue when they receive payment at the time of delivery.

 

 

12 

 

SDM: Ecommerce, Email Marketing and Web Design Services

 

SDM generates revenue by providing ecommerce, email marketing and web design solutions to small and large commercial businesses, complete with monthly software support, updates and maintenance. Services are billed monthly. Platform infrastructure support is a prepaid service billed in monthly recurring increments. The services are billed a month in advance and due prior to services being rendered. The revenue is deferred when invoiced and booked in the month the service is provided. Software support services (including software upgrades) are billed in real time, on the first of the month. Web design service revenues are recognized upon completion of specific projects. Revenue is booked in the month the services are rendered and payments are due on the final day of the month.

 

Blue Collar: Media Production Services

 

Blue Collar creates original live action and animated content productions, and has produced hundreds of hours of material for the television, theatrical, home entertainment and new media markets. Blue Collar designs branding and marketing campaigns and has had agreements with some of the world’s largest companies including PepsiCo, Intel, HP, WalMart and many other Fortune 500 companies. Additionally, they create motion picture, television and home entertainment marketing campaigns for studios including Sony, DreamWorks, Twentieth Century Fox, Universal Studios, Paramount Studios, and Warner Brothers. With regard to revenue recognition, Blue Collar receives an agreement from each client to perform defined work. Some agreements are written, some are verbal. Work may include creation of marketing materials and/or content creation. Some work may be short term and take weeks to create and some work may be longer and take months to create. There are instances where customer agreements segregate identifiable obligations (like filming on site vs. film editing and final production) with separate transaction pricing. The performance obligation is generally satisfied upon delivery of such film or production products, at which time revenue is recognized.

 

P2P Asset Activity: Telecom Revenue

 

Port 2 Port Communications (P2P) is a U.S. domestic minutes provider that sells wholesale long distance domestic telecom minutes to other domestic U.S. carriers. A service is defined as wholesale telecom minute based on a per-minute and per-destination rate basis. A series of services for P2P would be substantially the same and would include a pattern of transfers of services to a customer on a per-minute flat rate basis for all destinations in a specified geographic. Revenue generated from sales of minute services are recognized when weekly invoices are generated and distributed.

   

Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share

The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earning per Share””. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of thee income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholder (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had shares that were potentially common stock equivalents as follows:

 

   2019
Series A Preferred Stock   128,056,506 
Series B Preferred Stock   2,588,693 
Stock Options and Warrants   5,093,120 
Convertible Debt   9,975,367 
    145,213,686 

 

Financial Instruments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Our primary financial instruments at March 31, 2019 and 2018 consisted of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and derivative liabilities. We apply fair value measurement accounting to either record or disclose the value of our financial assets and liabilities in our financial statements. 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

13 

hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available, and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

Described below are the three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

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; quoted prices in markets that are not active; 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 significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

We consider our derivative financial instruments as Level 3. The balances for our derivative financial instruments as of March 31, 2019 are the following:

 

Derivative Instrument  Fair Value
Fair value of Geneva Roth Convertible Promissory Note  $82,016 
Fair value of Auctus Convertible Promissory Note  $2,082,832 
Fair value of Warrants issued with Auctus Convertible Promissory Note  $43,568 

 

 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The Company’s consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that management believes are necessary for the fair presentation of their financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented. 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

  

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which amends ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. This ASU requires that most of the guidance related to stock compensation granted to employees be followed for non-employees, including the measurement date, valuation approach, and performance conditions. The expense is recognized in the same period as though cash were paid for the good or service. The effective date is the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, with early adoption permitted, including in interim periods. The ASU has been adopted using a modified-retrospective transition approach. The adoption is not considered to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) and subsequent amendments to the initial guidance: ASU 2017-13, ASU 2018-10, ASU 2018-11, ASU 2018-20 and ASU 2019-01 (collectively, Topic 842). Topic 842 requires lessees to classify leases as either finance or operating leases and to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term greater than 12 months regardless of the lease classification. We adopted Topic 842 using the effective date, January 2019, as the date of our initial application of the standard. Consequently, financial information for the comparative periods has not been updated. Our finance and operating lease commitments are subject to the new standard and we recognize as finance and operating lease liabilities and right-of-use assets. The effect on our consolidated financial statements has not been material.

 

Management has reviewed other recently issued accounting pronouncements and have determined there are not any that would have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.

Cash flows generated from operating activities were not enough to support all working capital requirements for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. Financing activities described below have helped with working capital and other capital requirements. We incurred $2,981,346 and $1,037,581, respectively, in losses, and we used $369,477 and $250,097, respectively, in cash for operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. Cash flows from financing activities were $848,661 and $235,635 for the same periods. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Subsequent to March 31, 2019, a convertible promissory note was extended to the Company in the amount of $65,000 into convertible debt. In addition, the company secured $527,000 in the sale of future receipts. 

In order for us to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements, we will need to obtain additional debt or equity financing and look for companies with cash flow positive operations that we can acquire. There can be no assurance that we will be able to secure additional debt or equity financing, that we will be able to acquire cash flow positive operations, or that, if we are successful in any of those actions, those actions will produce adequate cash flow to enable us to meet all our future obligations. Most of our existing financing arrangements are short-term. If we are unable to obtain additional debt or equity financing, we may be required to significantly reduce or cease operations.

  

NOTE 3 – PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

 

Property and equipment and related accumulated depreciation as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are as follows:

  (1)

The terms of $40,000 of this balance are similar to that of the Line of Credit which bears interest at adjustable rates, 1 month Libor plus 2%, 4.49% as of March 31, 2019, and is secured by assets of the Company, is due August 31, 2019, as amended, and included 8,000 stock options as part of the terms (see Note 6).

 

$500,500 is a line of credit that Blue Collar has with a bank, bears interest at Prime plus 1.125%, 6.125% as of March 31, 2019, and is due March 25, 2021.

 

$10,000 is an amount the bears interest at 6%, subsequently increased to 11%, as it was due and not repaid on October 10, 2018. The remaining balances generally bear interest at approximately 10%, have maturity dates that are due on demand or are past due, are unsecured and are classified as current in the balance sheets.

During 2017, the Company issued convertible promissory notes in the amount of $67,000 (comprised of $62,000 from two related parties and $5,000 from a former officer of CDH), all which are due May 1, 2020 and bear 6% annual interest (12% default interest rate). The convertible promissory notes are convertible, as amended, at $0.25 per share.

 

During 2016, the Company acquired SDM which consideration included a convertible promissory note for $250,000 due August 31, 2018, as amended, does not bear interest, unless delinquent in which the interest is 12% per annum, and is convertible into common stock at $1.00 per share. The SDM balance is $192,938 as of March 31, 2019.

 

During 2018, the Company issued convertible promissory notes in the amount of $537,200 to related parties and $10,000 to a non-related party which bear interest at 6% (11% default interest rate), are due 30 months from issuance and are convertible into Series C Preferred Stock at $1.00 per share. During 2019, the Company issued these same securities with the same terms in the amount of $123,300 to related parties. Because the Series C Preferred Stock has a conversion price of $0.15 per share, the issuance of Series C Preferred Stock promissory notes will cause a beneficial conversion feature of approximately $38,479 upon exercise of the convertible promissory notes.

 

On March 19, 1919, the Company consummated a Securities Purchase Agreement dated March 15, 2019 with Geneva Roth Remark Holdings, Inc. (“Geneva Roth”) for the purchase of a $68,000 convertible promissory note (“Geneva Roth Convertible Promissory Note”). The Geneva Roth Convertible Promissory Note is due March 15, 2020, pays interest at the rate of 12% per annum and gives the holder the right from time to time, and at any time during the period beginning 180 days from the origination date to the maturity date or date of default to convert all or any part of the outstanding balance into common stock of the Company limited to 4.99% of the outstanding common stock of the Company. The conversion price is 61% multiplied by the average of the two lowest trading prices for the common stock during the previous 20 trading days prior to the applicable conversion date.   The Geneva Roth Convertible Promissory Note may be prepaid in whole or in part of the outstanding balance at 125% to 140% up to 180 days from origination.

The Auctus Convertible Promissory Note is due December 18, 2019, pays interest at the rate of 12% per annum and gives the holder the right from time to time, and at any time during the period beginning 180 days from the origination date or at the effective date of the registration of the underlying shares of common stock, which the holder has registration rights for, to convert all of the outstanding balance into common stock of the Company limited to 4.99% of the outstanding common stock of the Company. The conversion price is 50% multiplied by the average of the two lowest trading prices for the common stock during the previous 25 trading days prior to the applicable conversion date. The Auctus Convertible Promissory Note may be prepaid in full at 135% to 150% up to 180 days from origination. 2,000,000 warrants were issued in conjunction with the issuance of this debt. See Note 7.

     
  (3) The Factoring Agreement with full recourse, due August 31, 2019, as amended, was established in June 2016 with a company that is controlled by a shareholder and is personally guaranteed by an officer of the Company. The Factoring Agreement is such that the Company pays a discount of 2% per each 30-day period for each advance received against accounts receivable or future billings. The Company was advanced funds from the Factoring Agreement for which $101,244 in principal remained unpaid as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

The Line of Credit originated with a bank and was secured by the personal assets of certain shareholders of Copperhead Digital. During 2016, the Line of Credit was assigned to the Copperhead Digital shareholders, who subsequent to the Copperhead Digital acquisition by TPTG became shareholders of TPTG, and the secured personal assets were used to pay off the bank. The Line of Credit bears a variable interest rate based on the 1 Month LIBOR plus 2.0%, 4.49% as of March 31, 2019, is payable monthly, and is secured by the assets of the Company. 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company have been reserved to accomplish raising the funds to pay off the Line of Credit. Since assignment of the Line of Credit to certain shareholders, which balance on the date of assignment was $2,597,790, those shareholders have loaned the Company $445,600 under the similar terms and conditions as the line of credit but most of which were also given stock options totaling 85,120 (see Note 6) and is due, as amended, August 31, 2019.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2018, these same shareholders and one other loaned the Company money in the form of convertible loans of $537,200 described in (2) above

     
  (5)

$350,000 represents cash due to the prior owners of the technology acquired in December 2016 from the owner of the Lion Phone which is due to be paid as agreed by TPTG and the former owners of the Lion Phone technology and has not been determined.

 

$4,000,000 represents a promissory note included as part of the consideration of ViewMe Live technology acquired in 2017, later agreed to as being due and payable in full, with no interest with $2,000,000 from debt proceeds and the remainder from proceeds from the second Company public offering intended to be in 2019.

 

On September 1, 2018, the Company closed on its acquisition of Blue Collar. Part of the acquisition included a promissory note of $1,600,000 (fair value of $1,533,217, net of a discount to fair value of $66,783 which is being amortized through expense through the due date of May 1, 2019) and interest at 3% from the date of closure. $22,261 was amortized as interest expense in the three months ended March 31, 2019. The promissory note is secured by the assets of Blue Collar.

The shareholder debt represents funds given to TPTG or subsidiaries by officers and managers of the Company as working capital. There are no written terms of repayment or interest that is being accrued to these amounts and they will only be paid back, according to management, if cash flows support it. They are classified as current in the balance sheets.

 

Note 5 -Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company previously adopted the provisions of ASC subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825-10”). ASC 825-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. ASC 825-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

The derivative liability as of March 31, 2019, in the amount of $2,208,416 has a level 3 classification under ASC 825-10.

The following table provides a summary of changes in fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities as of March 31, 2019. There were no derivative financial instruments as of December 31, 2018.

   Debt Derivative Liabilities
Balance, December 31, 2018  $—   
Debt discount from initial derivative   668,000 
Initial fair value of derivative liabilities in excess of debt discounts   1,838,410 
Change in fair value of derivative liabilities at end of period   (297,994)
Balance, March 31, 2019  $2,208,416 
Derivative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019  $1,540,416 

 

Convertible notes payable and warrant derivatives – The Company issued convertible promissory notes which are convertible into common stock, at holders’ option, at a discount to the market price of the Company’s common stock. The Company has identified the embedded derivatives related to these notes relating to certain anti-dilutive (reset) provisions. These embedded derivatives included certain conversion features. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record fair value of the derivatives as of the inception date of debenture and to fair value as of each subsequent reporting date.

As of March 31, 2019, the Company marked to market the fair value of the debt derivatives and determined a fair value of $2,208,416 (2,164,848 from the convertible notes and $43,568 from the warrants in Note 4 (2) above). The Company recorded a gain from change in fair value of debt derivatives of $297,994 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The fair value of the embedded derivatives was determined using Monte Carlo simulation method based on the following assumptions: (1) dividend yield of 0%, (2) expected volatility of 188.2% to 212.8%, (3) weighted average risk-free interest rate of 2.23% to 2.52% (4) expected life of 0.72 to 5.0 years, and (5) the quoted market price of $0.0531 to $0.0726 for the Company’s common stock.

See Financing lease arrangements in Note 7.

All these stock options have an exercise period of 24 to 36 months. The Black-Scholes options pricing model was used to value the stock options. The inputs included the following:

(1)  Dividend yield of 0%
(2)  expected annual volatility of 307% - 311%
(3)  discount rate of 2.2% to 2.3%
(4)  expected life of 2 years, and
(5)  estimated fair value of the Company’s common $0.125 to $0.155 per share.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recorded $72,716 as stock-based compensation related to the stock options and the related service period for which services have been rendered. For future periods, the remaining value of the stock options totaling approximately $67,953 will be amortized into the statement of operations consistent with the period for which the services will be rendered, which is two years for the legal agreement and one year for the general consulting agreement.

 

Common Stock Reservations

The Company has reserved 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company for the purpose of raising funds to be used to pay off debt described in Note 5.

We have reserved 20,000,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company to grant to certain employee and consultants as consideration for services rendered and that will be rendered to the Company.

 

Warrants

As part of the Auctus Convertible Promissory Note issuance, the Company issued to, Auctus 2,000,000 warrants to purchase 2,000,000 common shares of the Company at 70% of the current market price. Current market price means the average of the three lowest trading prices for our common stock during the ten-trading day period ending on the latest complete trading day prior to the date of the respective exercise notice. However, if a required registration statement, registering the underlying shares of the Auctus Convertible Promissory Note, is declared effective on or before June 11, 2019, then, while such Registration Statement is effective, the current market price shall mean the lowest volume weighted average price for our common stock during the ten-trading day period ending on the last complete trading day prior to the conversion date.

 

The warrants issued to Auctus were considered derivative liabilities. See Note 5.

Financing Leases

 

As of March 31, 2019, we do not have any lease agreements that are long term. All lease arrangements expire during 2019, are in default or are month to month.

 

Current minimum financing lease payments are as follows as of March 31, 2019:

 

Obligation  2019  In Default  Accrued Interest  Total
Telecom Equipment Finance (1)  $449,103    —      156,405   $605,508 
Telecommunications Equipment (2)   —      101,347    33,624    134,971 
Production Equipment Lease (3)   2,919    —      —      2,919 
Total  $452,022    101,347    190,029   $743,398 

 

(1) The Telecom Equipment Lease is with an entity owned and controlled by shareholders of the Company and is due August 31, 2019, as amended.

(2) The Telecommunications Equipment Lease requires payments of $3,702 per month and is in default. See discussion below in Other Commitments and Contingencies. In December 2017, the Company learned that the telecommunications equipment lease identified herein for $101,348 was included in a default judgement in a non-jurisdictional state of Pennsylvania for $169,474 from a lawsuit by the lessor. Management is working with the lessor to settle this matter including a proposal for the equipment to be returned to the lessor and then a negotiated amount for any deficiency between the value given for the retired equipment and the $101,348. When concluded, management does not believe the results will be significantly different than the liability of $101,348 and accrued fees and interest of $27,070 recorded.

(3) The Production Equipment Lease, maturing on April 15, 2019, required payments of $2,535 per month and includes imputed interest at 8.5%. The lease was entered into in 2015 for the purchase of equipment in the amount of approximately $120,000.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

The Company has employment agreements with certain employees of SDM and K Telecom. The agreements are such that SDM and K Telecom, on a standalone basis in each case, must provide sufficient cash flow to financially support the financial obligations within the employment agreements.

In December 2016, a subsidiary’s landlord agreed to terminate a facilities lease for 150,000 restricted shares of Common Stock valued at $43,350 from a capital contribution of an officer of the Company. Subsequent to the agreement, the landlord requested more shares against the Company’s agreement. As such, $63,053 remains in liabilities payable to the landlord and the $43,350 was expensed as rent previously. The matter is still unresolved. Management does not believe any negative resolution will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The company has been named in a lawsuit by a former employee who was terminated by management in 2016. The employee was working under an employment agreement but was terminated for breach of the agreement. The former employee is suing for breach of contract and is seeking around $75,000 in back pay and benefits. Management believes it has good and meritorious defenses and does not believe the outcome of the lawsuit will have any material effect on the financial position of the Company.

 

As of March 31, 2019, the company has collected $338,725 from one customer in excess of amounts due from that customer in accordance with the customer’s understanding of the appropriate billings activity. The customer has filed a written demand for repayment by the Company of amounts owed. Management believes that the customer agreement allows them to keep the amounts under dispute. Given the dispute, the Company has reflected the amounts in dispute as a customer liability on the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2018 and does not believe the outcome of the dispute will have a material effect on the financial position of the Company.

NOTE 8 – RELATED PARTY ACTIVITY

 

The Company entered into a lease for living space which is occupied by Stephen Thomas, Chairman, CEO and President of the Company. Mr. Thomas lives in the space and uses it as his corporate office. The company has paid $0 and $5,949 in rent and utility payments for this space for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

 

There are shares issuances and capital contributions from an officer of the Company. See Note 6. Also, there are debt and lease balances outstanding due to shareholders and other related parties of the Company of $881,861 and $741,577, respectively, as of March 31, 22019 and December 31, 2018 related to amounts due to management and members of the Board of Directors according to verbal and written agreements that have not been paid as of period end which are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the balance sheet. See Notes 5 and 6.

  

As is mentioned in Note 6, Reginald Thomas was appointed to the Board of Directors of the Company in August 2018. Mr. Thomas is the brother to the CEO Stephen J. Thomas III. According to an agreement with Mr. Reginald Thomas, he is to receive $10,000 per quarter and 1,000,000 shares of restricted common stock valued at approximately $120,000 vesting quarterly over twenty-four months. The quarterly payment of $10,000 may be suspended by the Company if the Company has not been adequately funded.

NOTE 10 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

SpeedConnect Asset Acquisition

 

Effective April 3, 2019, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with SpeedConnect, LLC (“SpeedConnect”) to acquire substantially all of the assets of SpeedConnect. On May 7, 2019, the Company closed the transaction underlying the Asset Purchase Agreement with SpeedConnect to acquire substantially all of the assets of SpeedConnect for $2 million and the assumption of certain liabilities. The Asset Purchase Agreement required a deposit of $500,000 made in April and an additional $500,000 payment to close. The additional $500,000 was paid and all other conditions were met to effectuate the sale of substantially all of the assets of SpeedConnect to the Company. As part of the closing, the Company entered into a Promissory Note to pay SpeedConnect $1,000,000 in two equal installments of $500,000 plus applicable interest at 10% per annum with the first installment payable within 30 days of closing and the second installment payable within 60 days of closing (but no later than July 6, 2019). The Company is required to have SpeedConnect’s financial information audited for the last two years.

 

 

Had the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2018, condensed proforma statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 would be as follows

 

   2019  2018
Revenue  $3,656,169   $4,860,635 
Cost of Sales   2,789,364    2,759,446 
Gross Profit  $866,805   $2,101,189 
Operating expenses   (1,637,207)   (2,274,711)
Derivative expense   (1,567,677)     
Interest expense   (130,237)   (30,410)
Income taxes   —      —   
Net Loss  $(2,468,316)  $(203,931)

 

There are no revenues or expenses related to the SpeedConnect asset acquisition included in the consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

 

Subsequent Issuance of Financial Instruments

 

In conjunction with the close of the SpeedConnect transaction, the Company entered into an Agreement for the Purchase and Sale of Future Receipts dated May 8, 2019 (“Future Receipts Financing Agreement”). The balance to be purchased and sold is $753,610 for which the Company received $527,000. Under the Future Receipts Financing Agreement, the Company will pay $18,840.25 per week until fully paid which is expected to be in February 2020. The Financing Agreement includes a guaranty by the CEO of the Company, Stephen Thomas.

 

On April 16, 2019, the Company consummated a Securities Purchase Agreement dated April 12, 2019 with Geneva Roth for the purchase of a $65,000 convertible promissory note (“Geneva Roth Second Convertible Promissory Note”). The Geneva Roth Second Convertible Promissory Note is due April 12, 2020, pays interest at the rate of 12% per annum and gives the holder the right from time to time, and at any time during the period beginning 180 days from the origination date to the maturity date or date of default to convert all or any part of the outstanding balance into common stock of the Company limited to 4.99% of the outstanding common stock of the Company. The conversion price is 61% multiplied by the average of the two lowest trading prices for the common stock during the previous 20 trading days prior to the applicable conversion date.   The Geneva Roth Second Convertible Promissory Note may be prepaid in whole or in part of the outstanding balance at 125% to 140% up to 180 days from origination.

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

 

Forward-Looking Statements and Associated Risks.

 

This form 10-Q contains certain statements that are forward-looking within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. For this purpose, any statements contained in this Form 10-Q that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, words such as “may”, “will”, “expect”, “believe”, “anticipate”, “estimate, or “continue” or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially depending on a variety of factors, many of which are not within our control. These factors include but are not limited to economic conditions generally and in the industries in which we may participate; competition within our chosen industry, including competition from much larger competitors; technological advances and failure to successfully develop business relationships.

 

Based on our financial history since inception, our auditor has expressed substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, as of March 31, 2019, we had an accumulated deficit totaling $21,784,274. This raises substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Results of Operations

 

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 Compared to the Three Month Ended March 31, 2018

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we recognized total revenues of $161,476 compared to the prior period of $250,218. We incurred decreases in revenues for our telecommunications services, equipment sales and services performed by SDM during 2019 compared to the prior period of $55,035, $22,967 and $58,062, respectively. The decreases in large part are from the inability of the Company to properly advertise and market its products from the lack of financing and profitable operations. These decreases were offset by an increase from the addition of Blue Collar’s revenues of $61,750 which acquisition occurred September 1, 2018.

 

Gross profit (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $(100,892) compared to $(14,077) for the prior period. The decrease of $86,815 pertained primarily to decreases in telecommunications revenue, equipment sales and services performed by SDM. In addition, Blue Collar added loss to gross profit from the timing of several projects that they are doing.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we recognized $1,209,801 in expenses compared to $993,094 for the prior period. The increase of $216,707 was in large part attributable to the acquisition of Blue Collar.

 

Interest expense increased for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the prior period by $99,827. Increases from higher interest rates and increased debt was the primary reason for the increase.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we recognized a net loss of $2,981,346 compared to $1,037,581 for the prior period. The increase in the loss of $1,943,765 was primarily a result of the derivative expense of $1,540,416 recorded from the fair value valuation of financial instruments entered into and from the increase in expenses from the addition of Blue Collar and the net reduction of gross profits from the decrease in revenues.

  

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Cash flows generated from operating activities were not enough to support all working capital requirements for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. Financing activities described below, have helped with working capital and other capital requirements. We incurred $2,981,346 and $1,037,581, respectively, in losses, and we used $369,477 and $250,097, respectively, in cash for operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. Cash flows from financing activities were $848,661 and $235,635 for the same periods. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Subsequent to March 31, 2019, convertible promissory note was extended to the Company in the amount of $65,000 into convertible debt. In addition, the Company secured $527,000 in the sale of future receipts.

 

25 

In order for us to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements, we will need to obtain additional debt or equity financing and look for companies with cash flow positive operations that we can acquire. There can be no assurance that we will be able to secure additional debt or equity financing, that we will be able to acquire cash flow positive operations, or that, if we are successful in any of those actions, those actions will produce adequate cash flow to enable us to meet all our future obligations. Most of our existing financing arrangements are short-term. If we are unable to obtain additional debt or equity financing, we may be required to significantly reduce or cease operations.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management including our principal executive officer/principal financial officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Management has carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Due to the lack of personnel and outside directors, management concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective as of such date. The Company anticipates that with further resources, the Company will expand both management and the board of directors with additional officers and independent directors in order to provide sufficient disclosure controls and procedures.

 

Changes in Internal Control 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)) during the quarter ended March 31, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

 

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

None.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

RISK FACTORS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

 

Many of our competitors are better established and have resources significantly greater than we have, which may make it difficult to attract and retain subscribers.

 

We will compete with other providers of telephony service, many of which have substantially greater financial, technical and marketing resources, larger customer bases, longer operating histories, greater name recognition and more established relationships in the industry. In addition, a number of these competitors may combine or form strategic partnerships. As a result, our competitors may be able to offer, or bring to market earlier, products and services that are superior to our own in terms of features, quality, pricing or other factors. Our failure to compete successfully with any of these companies would have a material adverse effect on our business and the trading price of our common stock.

 

The market for broadband and VoIP services is highly competitive, and we compete with several other companies within a single market:

 

26 

 

 

     
  cable operators offering high-speed Internet connectivity services and voice communications;
  incumbent and competitive local exchange carriers providing DSL services over their existing wide, metropolitan and local area networks;
  3G cellular, PCS and other wireless providers offering wireless broadband services and capabilities, including developments in existing cellular and PCS technology that may increase network speeds or have other advantages over our services;
  internet service providers offering dial-up Internet connectivity;
  municipalities and other entities operating free or subsidized WiFi networks;
  providers of VoIP telephony services;
  wireless Internet service providers using licensed or unlicensed spectrum;
  satellite and fixed wireless service providers offering or developing broadband Internet connectivity and VoIP telephony;
  electric utilities and other providers offering or planning to offer broadband Internet connectivity over power lines; and
  resellers providing wireless Internet service by “piggy-backing” on DSL or WiFi networks operated by others.

         

Moreover, we expect other existing and prospective competitors, particularly if our services are successful; to adopt technologies or business plans similar to ours or seek other means to develop a product competitive with our services. Many of our competitors are well-established and have larger and better developed networks and systems, longer-standing relationships with customers and suppliers, greater name recognition and greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we have. These competitors can often subsidize competing services with revenues from other sources, such as advertising, and thus may offer their products and services at lower prices than ours. These or other competitors may also reduce the prices of their services significantly or may offer broadband connectivity packaged with other products or services. We may not be able to reduce our prices or otherwise alter our services correspondingly, which would make it more difficult to attract and retain subscribers.

 

Our Acquisitions could result in operating difficulties, dilution and distractions from our core business.

 

We have evaluated, and expect to continue to evaluate, potential strategic transactions, including larger acquisitions. The process of acquiring and integrating a company, business or technology is risky, may require a disproportionate amount of our management or financial resources and may create unforeseen operating difficulties or expenditures, including:

     
  difficulties in integrating acquired technologies and operations into our business while maintaining uniform standards, controls, policies and procedures;

 

  increasing cost and complexity of assuring the implementation and maintenance of adequate internal control and disclosure controls and procedures, and of obtaining the reports and attestations that are required of a company filing reports under the Securities Exchange Act;
  difficulties in consolidating and preparing our financial statements due to poor accounting records, weak financial controls and, in some cases, procedures at acquired entities based on accounting principles not generally accepted in the United States, particularly those entities in which we lack control; and
  the inability to predict or anticipate market developments and capital commitments relating to the acquired company, business or technology.

         

Acquisitions of and joint ventures with companies organized outside the United States often involve additional risks, including:

     
  difficulties, as a result of distance, language or culture differences, in developing, staffing and managing foreign operations;
  lack of control over our joint ventures and other business relationships;
  currency exchange rate fluctuations;
  longer payment cycles;
  credit risk and higher levels of payment fraud;
  foreign exchange controls that might limit our control over, or prevent us from repatriating, cash generated outside the United States;
  potentially adverse tax consequences;
27 

 

  expropriation or nationalization of assets;
  differences in regulatory requirements that may make it difficult to offer all of our services;
  unexpected changes in regulatory requirements;
  trade barriers and import and export restrictions; and
  political or social unrest and economic instability.

      

The anticipated benefit of any of our acquisitions or investments may never materialize. Future investments, acquisitions or dispositions could result in potentially dilutive issuances of our equity securities, the incurrence of debt, contingent liabilities or amortization expenses, or write-offs of goodwill, any of which could harm our financial condition. Future investments and acquisitions may require us to obtain additional equity or debt financing, which may not be available on favorable terms, or at all.

 

Our substantial indebtedness and our current default status and any restrictive debt covenants could limit our financing options and liquidity position and may limit our ability to grow our business.

 

Our indebtedness could have important consequences to the holders of our common stock, such as:

     
  we may not be able to obtain additional financing to fund working capital, operating losses, capital expenditures or acquisitions on terms acceptable to us or at all;
  we may be unable to refinance our indebtedness on terms acceptable to us or at all;
  if substantial indebtedness continues it could make us more vulnerable to economic downturns and limit our ability to withstand competitive pressures; and
  cash flows from operations are currently negative and may continue to be so, and our remaining cash, if any, may be insufficient to operate our business.
  paying dividends to our stockholders;
  incurring, or cause certain of our subsidiaries to incur, additional indebtedness;
  permitting liens on or conduct sales of any assets pledged as collateral;
  selling all or substantially all of our assets or consolidate or merge with or into other companies;
  repaying existing indebtedness; and
  engaging in transactions with affiliates.

        

As of March 31, 2019, the total debt or financing arrangements was $11,025,202, of which $85,192 or less than 1% of total current liabilities is past due. As of March 31, 2019, financing lease arrangements are in the amount of $553,369, of which 101,347 is in default. Our inability to renegotiate our indebtedness may cause lien holders to obtain possession of a good portion of our assets which would significantly alter our ability to generate revenues and obtain any additional financing.

 

We may experience difficulties in constructing, upgrading and maintaining our network, which could adversely affect customer satisfaction, increase subscriber turnover and reduce our revenues.

 

Our success depends on developing and providing products and services that give subscribers a high-quality internet connectivity and VoIP experience. If the number of subscribers using our network and the complexity of our products and services increase, we will require more infrastructure and network resources to maintain the quality of our services. Consequently, we expect to make substantial investments to construct and improve our facilities and equipment and to upgrade our technology and network infrastructure. If we do not implement these developments successfully, or if we experience inefficiencies, operational failures or unforeseen costs during implementation, the quality of our products and services could decline.

 

We may experience quality deficiencies, cost overruns and delays on construction, maintenance and upgrade projects, including the portions of those projects not within our control or the control of our contractors. The construction of our network requires the receipt of permits and approvals from numerous governmental bodies, including municipalities and zoning boards. Such bodies often limit the expansion of transmission towers and other construction necessary for our business. Failure to receive approvals in a timely fashion can delay system rollouts and raise the cost of completing construction projects. In addition, we typically are required to obtain rights from land, building and tower owners to install our antennas and other equipment to provide service to our subscribers. We may not be able to obtain, on terms acceptable to us, or at all, the rights necessary to construct our network and expand our services.

 

We also face challenges in managing and operating our network. These challenges include operating, maintaining and upgrading network and customer premises equipment to accommodate increased traffic or technological advances, and managing the sales, advertising, customer support, billing and collection functions of our business while providing reliable

network service at expected speeds and VoIP telephony at expected levels of quality. Our failure in any of these areas could adversely affect customer satisfaction, increase subscriber turnover, increase our costs, decrease our revenues and otherwise have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

 

If we do not obtain and maintain rights to use licensed spectrum in one or more markets, we may be unable to operate in these markets, which could adversely affect our ability to execute our business strategy.

 

Even though we have established license agreements, growth requires that we plan to provide our services obtaining additional licensed spectrum both in the United States and internationally, we depend on our ability to acquire and maintain sufficient rights to use licensed spectrum by obtaining our own licenses or long-term spectrum leases, in each of the markets in which we operate or intend to operate. Licensing is the short-term solution to obtaining the necessary spectrum as building out spectrum is a long and difficult process that can be costly and require a disproportionate amount of our management resources. We may not be able to acquire, lease or maintain the spectrum necessary to execute our business strategy.       

 

Using licensed spectrum, whether owned or leased, poses additional risks to us, including:

     
  inability to satisfy build-out or service deployment requirements upon which our spectrum licenses or leases are, or may be, conditioned;
  increases in spectrum acquisition costs;
  adverse changes to regulations governing our spectrum rights;
  the risk that spectrum we have acquired or leased will not be commercially usable or free of harmful interference from licensed or unlicensed operators in our or adjacent bands;
  with respect to spectrum we will lease in the United States, contractual disputes with or the bankruptcy or other reorganization of the license holders, which could adversely affect our control over the spectrum subject to such license;
  failure of the FCC or other regulators to renew our spectrum licenses as they expire; and
  invalidation of our authorization to use all or a significant portion of our spectrum, resulting in, among other things, impairment charges related to assets recorded for such spectrum.

    

If we fail to establish and maintain an effective system of internal control, we may not be able to report our financial results accurately or to prevent fraud. Any inability to report and file our financial results accurately and timely could harm our business and adversely impact the trading price of our common stock.

 

Effective internal control is necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, we may not be able to manage our business as effectively as we would if an effective control environment existed, and our business, brand and reputation with investors may be harmed.

 

In addition, reporting a material weakness may negatively impact investors’ perception of us. We have allocated, and will continue to allocate, significant additional resources to remedy any deficiencies in our internal control.

 

There can be no assurances that our remedial measures will be successful in curing the any material weakness or that other significant deficiencies or material weaknesses will not arise in the future.

 

Interruption or failure of our information technology and communications systems could impair our ability to provide our products and services, which could damage our reputation and harm our operating results.

 

We have experienced service interruptions in some markets in the past and may experience service interruptions or system failures in the future. Any unscheduled service interruption adversely affects our ability to operate our business and could result in an immediate loss of revenues. If we experience frequent or persistent system or network failures, our reputation and brand could be permanently harmed. We may make significant capital expenditures to increase the reliability of our systems, but these capital expenditures may not achieve the results we expect.

 

Our products and services depend on the continuing operation of our information technology and communications systems. Any damage to or failure of our systems could result in interruptions in our service. Interruptions in our service could reduce our revenues and profits, and our brand could be damaged if people believe our network is unreliable. Our systems are vulnerable to damage or interruption from earthquakes, terrorist attacks, floods, fires, power loss, telecommunications failures, computer viruses, computer denial of service attacks or other attempts to harm our systems, and similar events. Some of our systems are not fully redundant, and our disaster recovery planning may not be adequate. The occurrence of a natural

29 

disaster or unanticipated problems at our network centers could result in lengthy interruptions in our service and adversely affect our operating results.

 

The industries in which we operate are continually evolving, which makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and increases the risk of your investment. Our products and services may become obsolete, and we may not be able to develop competitive products or services on a timely basis or at all.

     

The markets in which we and our customers compete are characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards and communications protocols, and continuous improvements in products and services. Our future success depends on our ability to enhance current products and to develop and introduce, in a timely manner, new products that keep pace with technological developments, industry standards and communications protocols, compete effectively on the basis of price, performance and quality, adequately address end-user customer requirements and achieve market acceptance. There can be no assurance that the deployment of wireless networks will not be delayed or that our products will achieve widespread market acceptance or be capable of providing service at competitive prices in sufficient volumes. In the event that our products are not timely and economically developed or do not gain widespread market acceptance, our business, results of operations and financial condition would be materially adversely affected. There can also be no assurance that our products will not be rendered obsolete by the introduction and acceptance of new communications protocols.

 

The broadband services industry is characterized by rapid technological change, competitive pricing, frequent new service introductions and evolving industry standards and regulatory requirements. We believe that our success depends on our ability to anticipate and adapt to these challenges and to offer competitive services on a timely basis. We face a number of difficulties and uncertainties associated with our reliance on technological development, such as:

     
  competition from service providers using more traditional and commercially proven means to deliver similar or alternative services;
  competition from new service providers using more efficient, less expensive technologies, including products not yet invented or developed;
  uncertain consumer acceptance;
  realizing economies of scale;
  responding successfully to advances in competing technologies in a timely and cost-effective manner;
  migration toward standards-based technology, requiring substantial capital expenditures; and
  existing, proposed or undeveloped technologies that may render our wireless broadband and VoIP telephony services less profitable or obsolete.

         

As the products and services offered by us and our competitors develop, businesses and consumers may not accept our services as a commercially viable alternative to other means of delivering wireless broadband and VoIP telephony services.

 

If we are unable to successfully develop and market additional services and/or new generations of our services offerings or market our services and product offerings to a broad number of customers, we may not remain competitive.

 

Our future success and our ability to increase net revenue and earnings depend, in part, on our ability to develop and market new additional services and/or new generations of our current services offerings and market our existing services offerings to a broad number of customers. However, we may not be able to, among other things:

 

  · successfully develop or market new services or product offerings or enhance existing services offerings;
  · educate third-party sales organizations adequately for them to promote and sell our services offerings;
  · develop, market and distribute existing and future services offerings in a cost-effective manner; or
  · operate the facilities needed to provide our services offerings.

 

If we fail to develop new service offerings, or if we incur unexpected expenses or delays in product development or integration, we may lose our competitive position and incur substantial additional expenses or may be required to curtail or terminate all or part of our present planned business operations.

 

30 

Our failure to do any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, if any of our current or future services offerings contain undetected errors or design defects or do not work as expected for our customers, our ability to market these services offerings could be substantially impeded, resulting in lost sales, potential reputation damage and delays in obtaining market acceptance of these services offerings. We cannot assure you that we will continue to successfully develop and market new or enhanced applications for our services offerings. If we do not continue to expand our services offerings portfolio on a timely basis or if those products and applications do not receive market acceptance, become regulatory restricted, or become obsolete, we will not grow our business as currently expected.

 

We operate in a very competitive environment.

 

There are three types of competitors for our service offerings.

 

  (1) The value-added resellers and other vendors of hardware and software for on-site installation do not typically have an offering similar to our cloud-based services. However, they are the primary historic service suppliers to our targeted customers and will actively work to defend their customer base.

 

  (2) There are a number of providers offering services, but they typically offer only one or two applications of their choosing instead of our offering which bundles customer’s chosen services.

 

  (3) There are a few providers that offer more than two applications from the cloud. However currently, these providers typically offer only those applications they have chosen.

 

Our industry is characterized by rapid change resulting from technological advances and new services offerings. Certain competitors have substantially greater capital resources, larger customer bases, larger sales forces, greater marketing and management resources, larger research and development staffs and larger facilities than our and have more established reputations with our target customers, as well as distribution channels that are entrenched and may be more effective than ours. Competitors may develop and offer technologies and products that are more effective, have better features, are easier to use, are less expensive and/or are more readily accepted by the marketplace than our offerings. Their products could make our technology and service offerings obsolete or noncompetitive. Competitors may also be able to achieve more efficient operations and distribution than ours may be able to and may offer lower prices than we could offer profitably. We may decide to alter or discontinue aspects of our business and may adopt different strategies due to business or competitive factors or factors currently unforeseen, such as the introduction by competitors of new products or services technologies that would make part or all of our service offerings obsolete or uncompetitive.

 

In addition, the industry could experience some consolidation. There is also a risk that larger companies will enter our markets.

 

If we fail to maintain effective relationships with our major vendors, our services offerings and profitability could suffer.

 

We use third party providers for services. In addition, we purchase hardware, software and services from external suppliers. Accordingly, we must maintain effective relationships with our vendor base to source our needs, maintain continuity of supply, and achieve reasonable costs. If we fail to maintain effective relationships with our vendor base, this may adversely affect our ability to deliver the best products and services to our customers and our profitability could suffer.

 

Any failure of the physical or electronic security that resulted in unauthorized parties gaining access to customer data could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We use commercial data networks to service customers cloud based services and the associated customer data. Any data is subject to the risk of physical or electronic intrusion by unauthorized parties. We have a multi-homed firewalls and Intrusion Detection / Prevention systems to protect against electronic intrusion and two physical security levels in our networks. Our policy is to close all external ports as a default. Robust anti-virus software runs on all client servers. Systems have automated monitoring and alerting for unusual activity. We also have a Security Officer who monitors these systems. We have better security systems and expertise than our clients can afford separately but any failure of these systems could adversely affect our business growth and financial condition.

 

31 

 

Demand for our service offerings may decrease if new government regulations substantially increase costs, limit delivery or change the use of Internet access and other products on which our service offerings depend.

 

We are dependent on Internet access to deliver our service offerings. If new regulations are imposed that limit the use of the Internet or impose significant taxes on services delivered via the Internet it could change our cost structure and/or affect our business model. The significant changes in regulatory costs or new limitations on Internet use could impact our ability to operate as we anticipate, could damage our reputation with our customers, disrupt our business or result in, among other things, decreased net revenue and increased overhead costs. As a result, any such failure could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Our securities, as offered hereby, are highly speculative and should be purchased only by persons who can afford to lose their entire investment in us. Each prospective investor should carefully consider the following risk factors, as well as all other information set forth elsewhere in this prospectus, before purchasing any of the shares of our common stock.

 

Increasing regulation of our Internet-based products and services could adversely affect our ability to provide new products and services.

 

On February 26, 2015, the FCC adopted a new "network neutrality" or Open Internet order (the "2015 Order") that: (1) reclassified broadband Internet access service as a Title II common carrier service, (2) applied certain existing Title II provisions and associated regulations; (3) forbore from applying a range of other existing Title II provisions and associated regulations, but to varying degrees indicated that this forbearance may be only temporary and (4) issued new rules expanding disclosure requirements and prohibiting blocking, throttling, paid prioritization and

 

unreasonable interference with the ability of end users and edge providers to reach each other. The 2015 Order also subjected broadband providers' Internet traffic exchange rates and practices to potential FCC oversight and created a mechanism for third parties to file complaints regarding these matters. The 2015 Order could limit our ability to efficiently manage our cable systems and respond to operational and competitive challenges. In December 2017, the FCC adopted an order (the "2017 Order") that in large part reverses the 2015 Order. The 2017 Order has not yet gone into effect, however, and the 2015 Order will remain binding until the 2017 Order takes effect. The 2017 Order is expected to be subject to legal challenge that may delay its effect or overturn it. Additionally, Congress and some states are considering legislation that may codify "network neutrality" rules.

 

Offering telephone services may subject us to additional regulatory burdens, causing us to incur additional costs.

 

We offer telephone services over our broadband network and continue to develop and deploy interconnected VoIP services. The FCC ha that competitive telephone companies that support VoIP services, such as those that we offer to our customers, are entitled to interconnect with incumbent providers of traditional telecommunications services, which ensures that our VoIP services can operate in the market. However, the scope of these interconnection rights are being reviewed in a current FCC proceeding, which may affect our ability to compete in the provision of telephony services or result in additional costs. It remains unclear precisely to what extent federal and state regulators will subject VoIP services to traditional telephone service regulation. Expanding our offering of these services may require us to obtain certain authorizations, including federal and state licenses. We may not be able to obtain such authorizations in a timely manner, or conditions could be imposed upon such licenses or authorizations that may not be favorable to us. The FCC has already extended certain traditional telecommunications requirements, such as E911 capabilities, Universal Service Fund contribution, Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act ("CALEA"), measures to protect Customer Proprietary Network Information, customer privacy, disability access, number porting, battery back-up, network outage reporting, rural call completion reporting and other regulatory requirements to many VoIP providers such as us. If additional telecommunications regulations are applied to our VoIP service, it could cause us to incur additional costs and may otherwise materially adversely impact our operations. In 2011, the FCC released an order significantly changing the rules governing intercarrier compensation for the origination and termination of telephone traffic between interconnected carriers. These rules have resulted in a substantial decrease in interstate compensation payments over a multi-year period. The FCC is currently considering additional reforms that could further reduce interstate compensation payments. Further, although the FCC recently declined to impose additional regulatory burdens on certain point to point transport ("special access") services provided by cable companies, that FCC decision has been appealed by multiple parties. If those appeals are successfully, there could be additional regulatory burdens and additional costs placed on these services.

 

32 

 

We may engage in acquisitions and other strategic transactions and the integration of such acquisitions and other strategic transactions could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Our business has grown significantly as a result of acquisitions, including the Acquisitions, which entail numerous risks including:

 

•distraction of our management team in identifying potential acquisition targets, conducting due diligence and negotiating acquisition agreements; 

•difficulties in integrating the operations, personnel, products, technologies and systems of acquired businesses; 

•difficulties in enhancing our customer support resources to adequately service our existing customers and the customers of acquired businesses; 

•the potential loss of key employees or customers of the acquired businesses; 

•unanticipated liabilities or contingencies of acquired businesses; 

•unbudgeted costs which we may incur in connection with pursuing potential acquisitions which are not consummated; 

•failure to achieve projected cost savings or cash flow from acquired businesses, which are based on projections that are inherently uncertain; 

•fluctuations in our operating results caused by incurring considerable expenses to acquire and integrate businesses before receiving the anticipated revenues expected to result from the acquisitions; and 

•difficulties in obtaining regulatory approvals required to consummate acquisitions.

 

We also participate in competitive bidding processes, some of which may involve significant cable systems. If we are the winning bidder in any such process involving significant cable systems or we otherwise engage in acquisitions or other strategic transactions in the future, we may incur additional debt, contingent liabilities and amortization expenses, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We could also issue substantial additional equity which could dilute existing stockholders.

 

If our acquisitions, including the Acquisitions and the integration of the Optimum and Suddenlink businesses, do not result in the anticipated operating efficiencies, are not effectively integrated, or result in costs which exceed our expectations, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

 

Significant unanticipated increases in the use of bandwidth-intensive Internet-based services could increase our costs.

 

The rising popularity of bandwidth-intensive Internet-based services poses risks for our broadband services. Examples of such services include peer-to-peer file sharing services, gaming services and the delivery of video via streaming technology and by download. If heavy usage of bandwidth-intensive broadband services grows beyond our current expectations, we may need to incur more expenses than currently anticipated to expand the bandwidth capacity of our systems or our customers could have a suboptimal experience when using our broadband service. In order to continue to provide quality service at attractive prices, we need the continued flexibility to develop and refine business models that respond to changing consumer uses and demands and to manage bandwidth usage efficiently. Our ability to undertake such actions could be restricted by regulatory and legislative efforts to impose so-called "net neutrality" requirements on broadband communication providers like us that provide broadband services. For more information, see "Regulation—Broadband."

 

We operate in a highly competitive business environment which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

 

We operate in a highly competitive, consumer-driven industry and we compete against a variety of broadband, pay television and telephony providers and delivery systems, including broadband communications companies, wireless data and telephony providers, satellite-delivered video signals, Internet-delivered video content and broadcast television signals available to residential and business customers in our service areas. Some of our competitors include AT&T and its DirecTV subsidiary, CenturyLink, DISH Network, Frontier and Verizon. In addition, our pay television services compete with all other sources of leisure, news, information and entertainment, including movies, sporting or other live events, radio broadcasts, home-video services, console games, print media and the Internet.

        

In some instances, our competitors have fewer regulatory burdens, easier access to financing, greater resources, greater operating capabilities and efficiencies of scale, stronger brand-name recognition, longstanding relationships with regulatory authorities and customers, more subscribers, more flexibility to offer promotional packages at prices lower than ours and greater access to programming or other services. This competition creates pressure on our pricing and has adversely affected, and may continue to affect, our ability to add and retain customers, which in turn adversely affects our business, financial condition and results of operations. The effects of competition may also adversely affect our liquidity and ability to service our debt. For example, we face intense competition from Verizon and AT&T, which have network infrastructure throughout our service areas. We estimate that competitors are currently able to sell a fiber-based triple play, including broadband, pay television and telephony services, and may expand these and other service offerings to our potential customers.

33 

       

Our competitive risks are heightened by the rapid technological change inherent in our business, evolving consumer preferences and the need to acquire, develop and adopt new technology to differentiate our products and services from those of our competitors, and to meet consumer demand. We may need to anticipate far in advance which technology we should use for the development of new products and services or the enhancement of existing products and services. The failure to accurately anticipate such changes may adversely affect our ability to attract and retain customers, which in turn could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Consolidation and cooperation in our industry may allow our competitors to acquire service capabilities or offer products that are not available to us or offer similar products and services at prices lower than ours. For example, Comcast and Charter Communications have agreed to jointly explore operational efficiencies to speed their respective entries into the wireless market, including in the areas of creating common operating platforms and emerging wireless technology platforms. In addition, changes in the regulatory and legislative environments may result in changes to the competitive landscape.

 

In addition, certain of our competitors own directly or are affiliated with companies that own programming content or have exclusive arrangements with content providers that may enable them to obtain lower programming costs or offer exclusive programming that may be attractive to prospective subscribers. For example, DirecTV has exclusive arrangements with the National Football League that give it access to programming we cannot offer. AT&T also has an agreement to acquire Time Warner, which owns a number of cable networks, including TBS, CNN and HBO, as well as Warner Bros. Entertainment, which produces television, film and home-video content. AT&T's and DirecTV's potential access to Time Warner programming could allow AT&T and DirecTV to offer competitive and promotional packages that could negatively affect our ability to maintain or increase our existing customers and revenues. DBS operators such as DISH Network and DirecTV also have marketing arrangements with certain phone companies in which the DBS provider's pay television services are sold together with the phone company's broadband and mobile and traditional phone services.

 

Most broadband communications companies, which already have wired networks, an existing customer base and other operational functions in place (such as billing and service personnel), offer DSL services. We believe DSL service competes with our broadband service and is often offered at prices lower than our Internet services. However, DSL is often offered at speeds lower than the speeds we offer. In addition, DSL providers may currently be in a better position to offer Internet services to businesses since their networks tend to be more complete in commercial areas. They may also increasingly have the ability to combine video services with telephone and Internet services offered to their customers, particularly as broadband communications companies enter into co-marketing agreements with other service providers. In addition, current and future fixed and wireless Internet services, such as 3G, 4G and 5G fixed and wireless broadband services and Wi-Fi networks, and devices such as wireless data cards, tablets and smartphones, and mobile wireless routers that connect to such devices, may compete with our broadband services.

 

Our telephony services compete directly with established broadband communications companies and other carriers, including wireless providers, as increasing numbers of homes are replacing their traditional telephone service with wireless telephone service. We also compete against VoIP providers like Vonage, Skype, GoogleTalk, Facetime, WhatsApp and magicJack that do not own networks but can provide service to any person with a broadband connection, in some cases free of charge. In addition, we compete against ILECs, other CLECs and long-distance voice-service companies for large commercial and enterprise customers. While we compete with the ILECs, we also enter into interconnection agreements with ILECs so that our customers can make and receive calls to and from customers served by the ILECs and other telecommunications providers. Federal and state law and regulations require ILECs to enter into such agreements and provide facilities and services necessary for connection, at prices subject to regulation. The specific price, terms and conditions of each agreement, however, depend on the outcome of negotiations between us and each ILEC. Interconnection agreements are also subject to approval by the state regulatory commissions, which may arbitrate negotiation impasses. These agreements, like all interconnection agreements, are for limited terms and upon expiration are subject to renegotiation, potential arbitration and approval under the laws in effect at that time.

 

We also face competition for our advertising sales from traditional and non-traditional media outlets, including television and radio stations, traditional print media and the Internet.

 

We face significant risks as a result of rapid changes in technology, consumer expectations and behavior.

 

The broadband communications industry has undergone significant technological development over time and these changes continue to affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Such changes have had, and will continue to have, a profound impact on consumer expectations and behavior. Our video business faces technological change risks as a result of the continuing development of new and changing methods for delivery of programming content such as Internet-based delivery of movies, shows and other content which can be viewed on televisions, wireless devices and other developing

34 

mobile devices. Consumers' video consumption patterns are also evolving, for example, with more content being downloaded for time-shifted consumption. A proliferation of delivery systems for video content can adversely affect our ability to attract and retain subscribers and the demand for our services and it can also decrease advertising demand on our delivery systems. Our broadband business faces technological challenges from rapidly evolving wireless Internet solutions. Our telephony service offerings face technological developments in the proliferation of telephony delivery systems including those based on Internet and wireless delivery. If we do not develop or acquire and successfully implement new technologies, we will limit our ability to compete effectively for subscribers, content and advertising. We cannot provide any assurance that we will realize, in full or in part, the anticipated benefits we expect from the introduction of our home communications hub,, or that it will be rolled out across our footprint in the timeframe we anticipate. In addition, we may be required to make material capital and other investments to anticipate and to keep up with technological change. These challenges could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Our revenues and growth may be constrained due to demand exceeding capacity of our systems or our inability to develop solutions.

 

We anticipate generating revenues in the future from broadband connectivity, other Internet services, and broadband and in the cloud services. Demand and market acceptance for these recently introduced services and products delivered over the Internet is uncertain. Critical issues concerning the use of the Internet, such as ease of access, security, reliability, cost and quality of service, exist and may affect the growth of Internet use or the attractiveness of conducting commerce online. In addition, the Internet and online services may not be accepted as viable for a number of reasons, including potentially inadequate development of the necessary network infrastructure or delayed development of enabling technologies and performance improvements. To the extent that the Internet and online services continue to experience significant growth, there can be no assurance that the infrastructure of the Internet and online services will prove adequate to support increased user demands. In addition, the Internet or online services could lose their viability due to delays in the development or adoption of new standards and protocols required to handle increased levels of Internet or online service activity. Changes in, or insufficient availability of, telecommunications services to support the Internet or online services also could result in slower response times and adversely affect usage of the Internet and online services generally and us in particular. If use of the Internet and online services does not continue to grow or grows more slowly than expected, if the infrastructure for the Internet and online services does not effectively support growth that may occur, or if the Internet and online services do not become a viable commercial marketplace, our business could be adversely affected.

 

Certain aspects of our VoIP telephony services differ from traditional telephone service. The factors that may have this effect include:

     
  our subscribers may experience lower call quality than they experience with traditional wireline telephone companies, including static, echoes and transmission delays;
  our subscribers may experience higher dropped-call rates than they experience with traditional wireline telephone companies; and
  a power loss or Internet access interruption causes our service to be interrupted.

         

Additionally, our VoIP emergency calling service is significantly more limited than the emergency calling services offered by traditional telephone companies. Our VoIP emergency calling service can only transmit to a dispatcher at a public safety answering point, or PSAP, the location information that the subscriber has registered with us, which may at times be different from the actual location at the time of the call. As a result, our emergency calling systems may not assure that the appropriate PSAP is reached and may cause significant delays, or even failures, in callers’ receipt of emergency assistance. Our failure to develop or operate an adequate emergency calling service could subject us to substantial liabilities and may result in delays in subscriber adoption of our VoIP telephony services or all of our services, abandonment of our services by subscribers, and litigation costs, damage awards and negative publicity, any of which could harm our business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.

 

If our subscribers do not accept the differences between our VoIP telephony services and traditional telephone service, they may not adopt or keep our VoIP telephony services or our other services, or may choose to retain or return to service provided by traditional telephone companies. Because VoIP telephony services represent an important aspect of our business strategy, failure to achieve subscribers’ acceptance of our VoIP telephony services may adversely affect our prospects, results of operations and the trading price of our shares.

  

 

35 

We rely on contract manufacturers and a limited number of third-party suppliers to produce our network equipment and to maintain our network sites. If these companies fail to perform, we may have a shortage of components and may be required to suspend our network deployment and our product and service introduction.

       

We depend on contract manufacturers, to produce and deliver acceptable, high quality products on a timely basis. We also depend on a limited number of third parties to maintain our network facilities. If our contract manufacturer or other providers do not satisfy our requirements, or if we lose our contract manufacturers or any other significant provider, we may have an insufficient network services for delivery to subscribers, we may be forced to suspend portions of our wireless broadband network, enrollment of new subscribers, and product sales and our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results may be harmed.

 

We rely on highly skilled executives and other personnel. If we cannot retain and motivate key personnel, we may be unable to implement our business strategy.

 

We will be highly dependent on the scientific, technical, and managerial skills of certain key employees, including technical, research and development, sales, marketing, financial and executive personnel, and on our ability to identify, hire and retain additional personnel. To accommodate our current size and manage our anticipated growth, we must expand our employee base. Competition for key personnel, particularly persons having technical expertise, is intense, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to retain existing personnel or to identify or hire additional personnel. The need for such personnel is particularly important given the strains on our existing infrastructure and the need to anticipate the demands of future growth. In particular, we are highly dependent on the continued services of our senior management team, which currently is composed of a small number of individuals. We do not maintain key-man life insurance on the life of any employee. The inability of us to attract, hire or retain the necessary technical, sales, marketing, financial and executive personnel, or the loss of the services of any member of our senior management team, could have a material adverse effect on us.

 

Our future success depends largely on the expertise and reputation of our founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Stephen J. Thomas, Richard Eberhardt, and the other members of our senior management team. In addition, we intend to hire additional highly skilled individuals to staff our operations. Loss of any of our key personnel or the inability to recruit and retain qualified individuals could adversely affect our ability to implement our business strategy and operate our business.

 

We are currently managed by a small number of key management and operating personnel. Our future success depends, in part, on our ability to recruit and retain qualified personnel. Failure to do so likely would have an adverse impact on our business and the trading price of our common stock.

 

If our data security measures are breached, subscribers may perceive our network and services as not secure.

 

Our network security and the authentication of the subscriber’s credentials are designed to protect unauthorized access to data on our network. Because techniques used to obtain unauthorized access to or to sabotage networks change frequently and may not be recognized until launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate or implement adequate preventive measures against unauthorized access or sabotage. Consequently, unauthorized parties may overcome our encryption and security systems and obtain access to data on our network, including on a device connected to our network. In addition, because we operate and control our network and our subscribers’ Internet connectivity, unauthorized access or sabotage of our network could result in damage to our network and to the computers or other devices used by our subscribers. An actual or perceived breach of network security, regardless of whether the breach is our fault, could harm public perception of the effectiveness of our security measures, adversely affect our ability to attract and retain subscribers, expose us to significant liability and adversely affect our business prospects.

 

Our activities outside the United States could disrupt our operations.

       

We intend to invest in various international companies and spectrum opportunities through acquisitions and strategic alliances as these opportunities arise. Our activities outside the United States operate in environments different from the one we face in the United States, particularly with respect to competition and regulation. Due to these differences, our activities outside the United States may require a disproportionate amount of our management and financial resources, which could disrupt our U.S. operations and adversely affect our business.

 

In a number of international markets, we face substantial competition from local service providers that offer or may offer their own wireless broadband or VoIP telephony services and from other companies that provide Internet connectivity services. We may face heightened challenges in gaining market share, particularly in certain European countries, where a large portion of the population already has broadband Internet connectivity and incumbent companies already have a

36 

dominant market share in their service areas. Furthermore, foreign providers of competing services may have a substantial advantage over us in attracting subscribers due to a more established brand, greater knowledge of local subscribers’ preferences and access to significant financial or strategic resources.

 

In addition, foreign regulatory authorities frequently own or control the incumbent telecommunications companies operating under their jurisdiction. Established relationships between government-owned or government-controlled telecommunications companies and their traditional local providers of telecommunications services often limit access of third parties to these markets. The successful expansion of our international operations in some markets will depend on our ability to locate, form and maintain strong relationships with established local communication services and equipment providers. Failure to establish these relationships or to market or sell our products and services successfully could limit our ability to attract subscribers to our services.

  

We may be unable to protect our intellectual property, which could reduce the value of our services and our brand.

 

Our ability to compete effectively depends on our ability to protect our proprietary technologies, system designs and manufacturing processes. We may not be able to safeguard and maintain our proprietary rights. We rely on patents, trademarks and policies and procedures related to confidentiality to protect our intellectual property. Some of our intellectual property, however, is not covered by any of these protections.

 

We could be subject to claims that we have infringed on the proprietary rights of others, which claims would likely be costly to defend, could require us to pay damages and could limit our ability to use necessary technologies in the future.

 

Our competitors may independently develop or patent technologies or processes that are substantially equivalent or superior to ours. These competitors may claim that our services and products infringe on these patents or other proprietary rights. Defending against infringement claims, even merit less ones, would be time consuming, distracting and costly. If we are found to be infringing proprietary rights of a third party, we could be enjoined from using such third party’s rights and be required to pay substantial royalties and damages and may no longer be able to use the intellectual property on acceptable terms or at all. Failure to obtain licenses to intellectual property could delay or prevent the development, manufacture or sale of our products or services and could cause us to expend significant resources to develop or acquire non-infringing intellectual property.

 

Our business depends on our brand, and if we do not maintain and enhance our brand, our ability to attract and retain subscribers may be impaired and our business and operating results harmed.

 

We believe that our brand is a critical part of our business. Maintaining and enhancing our brand may require us to make substantial investments with no assurance that these investments will be successful. If we fail to promote and maintain our brands, or if we incur significant expenses in this effort, our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition may be harmed. We anticipate that maintaining and enhancing our brand will become increasingly important, difficult and expensive.

 

We are subject to extensive regulation.

    

Our acquisition, lease, maintenance and use of spectrum licenses are extensively regulated by federal, state, local, and foreign governmental entities. A number of other federal, state, local and foreign privacy, security and consumer laws also apply to our business. These regulations and their application are subject to continual change as new legislation, regulations or amendments to existing regulations are adopted from time to time by governmental or regulatory authorities, including as a result of judicial interpretations of such laws and regulations. Current regulations directly affect the breadth of services we are able to offer and may impact the rates, terms and conditions of our services. Regulation of companies that offer competing services, such as cable and DSL providers and incumbent telecommunications carriers, also affects our business indirectly.

 

We are also subject to regulation because we provide VoIP telephony services. As an “interconnected” VoIP provider, we are required under FCC rules, to comply with the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act, or CALEA, which requires service providers to build certain capabilities into their networks and to accommodate wiretap requests from law enforcement agencies.

 

In addition, the FCC or other regulatory authorities may in the future restrict our ability to manage subscribers’ use of our network, thereby limiting our ability to prevent or address subscribers’ excessive bandwidth demands. To maintain the quality of our network and user experience, we manage the bandwidth used by our subscribers’ applications, in part by restricting the types of applications that may be used over our network. Some providers and users of these applications have objected to

37 

this practice. If the FCC or other regulatory authorities were to adopt regulations that constrain our ability to employ bandwidth management practices, excessive use of bandwidth-intensive applications would likely reduce the quality of our services for all subscribers. Such decline in the quality of our services could harm our business.

 

In certain of our international markets, the services provided by our business may require receipt of a license from national, provincial or local regulatory authorities. Where required, regulatory authorities may have significant discretion in granting the licenses and in the term of the licenses and are often under no obligation to renew the licenses when they expire.

 

The breach of a license or applicable law, even if inadvertent, can result in the revocation, suspension, cancellation or reduction in the term of a license or the imposition of fines. In addition, regulatory authorities may grant new licenses to third parties, resulting in greater competition in territories where we already have rights to licensed spectrum. In order to promote competition, licenses may also require that third parties be granted access to our bandwidth, frequency capacity, facilities or services. We may not be able to obtain or retain any required license, and we may not be able to renew a license on favorable terms, or at all.

 

Our wireless broadband and VoIP telephony services may become subject to greater state or federal regulation in the future. The scope of the regulations that may apply to VoIP telephony services providers and the impact of such regulations on providers’ competitive position are presently unknown.

 

Our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is also our largest stockholder, and as a result he can exert control over us and has actual or potential interests that may diverge from yours.

 

Mr. Thomas may have interests that diverge from those of other holders of our common stock and he owns our super majority voting Series A stock. As a result, Mr. Thomas may vote the shares he owns or otherwise cause us to take actions that may conflict with your best interests as a stockholder, which could adversely affect our results of operations and the trading price of our common stock.

 

Through his control, Mr. Thomas can control our management, affairs and all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the approval of significant corporate transactions, a sale of our company, decisions about our capital structure and, the composition of our board of directors.

 

RISK FACTORS RELATED TO OUR STOCK

 

We can give no assurance of success or profitability to our investors.

 

Cash flows generated from operating activities were not enough to support all working capital requirements for the years ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. Financing activities described below, have helped with working capital and other capital requirements. We incurred $2,981,346 and $1,037,581, respectively, in losses, and we used $369,477 and $250,097, respectively, in cash for operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. Cash flows from financing activities were $848,661 and $235,635 for the same periods. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Subsequent to March 31, 2019, convertible promissory note was extended to the Company in the amount of $65,000 into convertible debt. In addition, the company secured $527,000 in the sale of future receipts. 

In order for us to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements, we will need to obtain additional debt or equity financing and look for companies with cash flow positive operations that we can acquire. There can be no assurance that we will be able to secure additional debt or equity financing, that we will be able to acquire cash flow positive operations, or that, if we are successful in any of those actions, those actions will produce adequate cash flow to enable us to meet all our future obligations. Most of our existing financing arrangements are short-term. If we are unable to obtain additional debt or equity financing, we may be required to significantly reduce or cease operations.

 

Our sources of capital are loans and sales of equity from common or preferred stock. We have no firm commitments for loans or equity sales at this date.

 

38 

 

We may in the future issue more shares which could cause a loss of control by our present management and current stockholders.

 

We may issue further shares as consideration for the cash or assets or services out of our authorized but unissued common stock that would, upon issuance, represent a majority of the voting power and equity of our Company. The result of such an issuance would be those new stockholders and management would control our Company, and persons unknown could replace our management at this time. Such an occurrence would result in a greatly reduced percentage of ownership of our Company by our current shareholders, which could present significant risks to investors.

 

We have options and warrants issued and outstanding, convertible promissory notes and preferred stock that is convertible into common stock. A conversion of such equity and debt instruments could have a dilutive effect to existing shareholders.

 

As of March 31, 2019, we had options outstanding to purchase 3,093,120 shares of common stock of the Company.

 

As of March 31, 2019, we had convertible promissory notes outstanding that were convertible into 9,475,367 common shares.

 

In addition, the Series A and B preferred stocks outstanding are convertible into common shares of 128,056,693 and 2,588,693, respectively as of March 31, 2019. 

 

The exercise of the options, convertible promissory notes and Series A and B Series Preferred Stock into shares of our common stock could have a dilutive effect to the holdings of our existing shareholders.

 

As of March 31, 2019, the following warrants were outstanding:

 

As part of the Auctus Convertible Promissory Note issuance, the Company issued to, Auctus 2,000,000 warrants to purchase 2,000,000 common shares of the Company at 70% of the current market price. Current market price means the average of the three lowest trading prices for our common stock during the ten-trading day period ending on the latest complete trading day prior to the date of the respective exercise notice. However, if a required registration statement, registering the underlying shares of the Auctus Convertible Promissory Note, is declared effective on or before June 11, 2019, then, while such Registration Statement is effective, the current market price shall mean the lowest volume weighted average price for our common stock during the ten-trading day period ending on the last complete trading day prior to the conversion date.

 

Our officers and directors may have conflicts of interests as to corporate opportunities which we may not be able or allowed to participate in.

 

Presently there is no requirement contained in our Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, or minutes which requires officers and directors of our business to disclose to us business opportunities which come to their attention. Our officers and directors do, however, have a fiduciary duty of loyalty to us to disclose to us any business opportunities which come to their attention, in their capacity as an officer and/or director or otherwise. Excluded from this duty would be opportunities which the person learns about through his involvement as an officer and director of another company. We have no intention of merging with or acquiring business opportunity from any affiliate or officer or director.

 

We have agreed to indemnification of officers and directors as is provided by Florida Statutes.

 

Florida Statutes provide for the indemnification of our directors, officers, employees, and agents, under certain circumstances, against attorney’s fees and other expenses incurred by them in any litigation to which they become a party arising from their association with or activities our behalf. We will also bear the expenses of such litigation for any of our directors, officers, employees, or agents, upon such person’s promise to repay us therefore if it is ultimately determined that any such person shall not have been entitled to indemnification. This indemnification policy could result in substantial expenditures by us that we will be unable to recoup.

 

Our directors’ liability to us and shareholders is limited.

 

Florida Statutes exclude personal liability of our directors and our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty except in certain specified circumstances. Accordingly, we will have a much more limited right of action against our directors that otherwise would be the case. This provision does not affect the liability of any director under federal or applicable state securities laws.

 

39 

 

Our Stock prices in the Market may be volatile.

 

The value of our Common stock following this offering may be highly volatile and could be subject to fluctuations in price in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control. These factors include:

     
  quarterly variations in our results of operations or those of our competitors;
  announcements by us or our competitors of acquisitions, new products, significant contracts, commercial relationships or capital commitments;
  disruption to our operations or those of other sources critical to our network operations;
  the emergence of new competitors or new technologies;
  our ability to develop and market new and enhanced products on a timely basis;
  seasonal or other variations in our subscriber base;
  commencement of, or our involvement in, litigation;
  availability of additional spectrum;
  dilutive issuances of our stock or the stock of our subsidiaries, or the incurrence of additional debt;
  changes in our board or management;
  adoption of new or different accounting standards;
  changes in governmental regulations or in the status of our regulatory approvals;
  changes in earnings estimates or recommendations by securities analysts;
  announcements regarding WiMAX and other technical standards; and
  general economic conditions and slow or negative growth of related markets.

         

In addition, the stock market in general, and the market for shares of technology companies in particular, has experienced price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. We expect the value of our common stock will be subject to such fluctuations.

 

We may not be able to successfully implement our business strategy without substantial additional capital. Any such failure may adversely affect the business and results of operations.

 

Unless we can generate revenues sufficient to implement our Business Plan, we will need to obtain additional financing through debt or bank financing, or through the sale of shareholder interests to execute our Business Plan. We expect to need $16,900,000 in the next twelve months in capital or loans to complete our plans and operations. We may not be able to obtain this financing at all. We have not sought commitments for this financing, and we have no terms for either debt or equity financing, and we realize that it may be difficult to obtain on favorable terms. Moreover, if we issue additional equity securities to support our operations, Investor holdings may be diluted. Our business plans are at risk if we cannot continually achieve additional capital raising to complete our plans.

 

We are reliant, in part, on third party sales organizations, which may not perform as we expect.

 

We, from time to time rely on the sales force of third-party sales organizations with support from our own selling resources. The third-party relationships and internal organization are not fully developed at this time and must be developed. We may not be able to hire effective inside sales people to help our third-party sales organizations close sales. There is no assurance that any approaches will improve sales. Further, using only a direct sales force would be less cost-effective than our plan to use third-party sales organizations. In addition, a direct sales model may be ineffective if we were unable to hire and retain qualified salespeople and if the sales force fails to complete sales. Moreover, even if we successfully implement our business strategy, we may not have positive operating results. We may decide to alter or discontinue aspects of our business strategy and may adopt different strategies due to business or competitive factors.

 

Our growth may be affected adversely if our sales of products and services are negatively affected by competition or other factors.

 

The growth of our business is dependent, in large part, upon the development of sales for our services and product offerings. Market opportunities that we expect to exist may not develop as expected, or at all. For example, a substantial percentage of our service offerings is oriented around data access. If lower cost alternatives are developed, our sales would decrease and our operating results would be negatively affected. Moreover, even if market opportunities develop as expected, new technologies and services offerings introduced by competitors may significantly limit our ability to capitalize on any such market opportunity. Our failure to capitalize on expected market opportunities would adversely affect revenue growth.

 

 

40 

The lack of operating history and the rapidly changing nature of the market in which we compete make it difficult to accurately forecast revenues and operating results. We anticipate that revenues and operating results might fluctuate in the future due to a number of factors including the following:

 

  · the timing of sales for current services and products offerings

 

  · the timing of new product implementations

 

  · unexpected delays in introducing new services and products offerings

 

  · increased expense related to sales and marketing, product development or administration

 

  · the mix of products and our services offerings

 

  · costs related to possible acquisitions of technology or business.

 

  · costs of providing services

 

We may be unable to compete with larger, more established competitors.

 

The market for providing network delivered service solutions is competitive. We expect competition to intensify in the future. Many of our potential competitors have longer operating histories, larger customer bases, greater recognition and significantly greater resources. As a result, competitors may be able to respond more quickly to emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements than we can. The continuous and timely introduction of competitively priced services offerings into the market is critical to our success, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to introduce such services offerings. We may not be able to compete successfully against competitors, and the competitive pressures we face may have an adverse effect on our business.

 

RISKS RELATING TO OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND POTENTIAL LITIGATION

 

We may not be able to protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights.

 

There can be no assurances that we will be able to obtain intellectual property protection that will effectively prevent any competitors from developing or marketing the same or a competing technology. In addition, we cannot predict whether we will be subject to intellectual property litigation the outcome of which is subject to uncertainty and which can be very costly to pursue or defend. We will attempt to continue to protect our proprietary designs and to avoid infringing on the intellectual property of third parties. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to protect our intellectual property or avoid suits by third parties claiming intellectual property infringement.

 

If our patents and other intellectual property rights do not adequately protect our service offering, we may lose market share to competitors and be unable to operate our business profitably.

 

Patents and other proprietary rights are anticipated to be of value to our future business, and our ability to compete effectively with other companies depends on the proprietary nature of our current or future technologies. We also rely upon trade secrets, know-how, continuing technological innovations and licensing opportunities to develop, maintain, and strengthen our competitive position. We cannot assure you that any future patent applications will result in issued patents, that any patents issued or licensed to us will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented or that the rights granted there under will provide a competitive advantage to us or prevent competitors from entering markets which we currently serve. Any required license may not be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all or may become invalid if the licensee’s right to such technology become challenged and/or revoked. In addition, some licenses may be non-exclusive, and therefore competitors may have access to the same technologies as we do. Furthermore, we may have to take legal action in the future to protect our trade secrets or know-how, or to defend them against claimed infringement of the rights of others. Any legal action of that type could be costly and time-consuming to us, and we cannot assure you that such actions will be successful. The invalidation of key patents or proprietary rights which we own or unsuccessful outcomes in lawsuits to protect our intellectual property may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

41 

 

We may in the future become subject to claims that some, or the entire service offering violates the patent or intellectual property rights of others, which could be costly and disruptive to us.

 

We operate in an industry that is susceptible to patent litigation. As a result, we or the parties we license technology from may become subject to patent infringement claims or litigation. Further, one or more of our future patents or applications may become subject to interference proceedings declared by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, (“USPTO”) or the foreign equivalents thereof to determine the priority of claims to inventions. The defense of intellectual property suits, USPTO interference proceedings or the foreign equivalents thereof, as well as related legal and administrative proceedings, are both costly and time consuming and may divert management's attention from other business concerns. An adverse determination in litigation or interference proceedings to which we may become a party could, among other things:

 

  • subject us to significant liabilities to third parties, including treble damages;
  • require disputed rights to be licensed from a third party for royalties that may be substantial;
  • require us to cease using such technology; or
  • prohibit us from selling certain of our service offerings.

Any of these outcomes could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Our stock will in all likelihood be thinly traded and as a result you may be unable to sell at or near ask prices or at all if you need to liquidate your shares.

 

The shares of our common stock may be thinly-traded on the OTC Market, meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing our common shares at or near ask prices at any given time may be relatively small or non-existent. This situation is attributable to a number of factors, including the fact that we are a small company which is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors and others in the investment community that generate or influence sales volume, and that even if we came to the attention of such persons, they tend to be risk-averse and would be reluctant to follow an unproven, early stage company such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase of any of our Securities until such time as we became more seasoned and viable. As a consequence, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our Securities is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on Securities price. We cannot give you any assurance that a broader or more active public trading market for our common Securities will develop or be sustained, or that any trading levels will be sustained. Due to these conditions, we can give investors no assurance that they will be able to sell their shares at or near ask prices or at all if they need money or otherwise desire to liquidate their securities of our Company.

 

The regulation of penny stocks by SEC and FINRA may discourage the tradability of our securities.

 

We are a “penny stock” company. None of our securities currently trade in any market and, if ever available for trading, will be subject to a Securities and Exchange Commission rule that imposes special sales practice requirements upon broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers or accredited investors. For purposes of the rule, the phrase “accredited investors” means, in general terms, institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000, or individuals having a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or having an annual income that exceeds $200,000 (or that, when combined with a spouse’s income, exceeds $300,000). For transactions covered by the rule, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. Effectively, this discourages broker-dealers from executing trades in penny stocks. Consequently, the rule will affect the ability of purchasers in this offering to sell their securities in any market that might develop therefore because it imposes additional regulatory burdens on penny stock transactions.

 

In addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted a number of rules to regulate “penny stocks". Such rules include Rules 3a51-1, 15g-1, 15g-2, 15g-3, 15g-4, 15g-5, 15g-6, 15g-7, and 15g-9 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Because our securities constitute “penny stocks” within the meaning of the rules, the rules would apply to us and to our securities. The rules will further affect the ability of owners of shares to sell our securities in any market that might develop for them because it imposes additional regulatory burdens on penny stock transactions.

 

Shareholders should be aware that, according to Securities and Exchange Commission, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (i) control of the market for the security by

42 

one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (ii) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (iii) “boiler room” practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (iv) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (v) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired consequent investor losses. Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities.

 

Inventory in penny stocks have limited remedies in the event of violations of penny stock rules. While the courts are always available to seek remedies for fraud against us, most, if not all, brokerages require their customers to sign mandatory arbitration agreements in conjunctions with opening trading accounts. Such arbitration may be through an independent arbiter. Investors may file a complaint with FINRA against the broker allegedly at fault, and FINRA may be the arbiter, under FINRA rules. Arbitration rules generally limit discovery and provide more expedient adjudication, but also provide limited remedies in damages usually only the actual economic loss in the account. Investors should understand that if a fraud case is filed against a company in the courts it may be vigorously defended and may take years and great legal expenses and costs to pursue, which may not be economically feasible for small investors.

 

That absent arbitration agreements, specific legal remedies available to investors of penny stocks include the following:

 

If a penny stock is sold to the investor in violation of the requirements listed above, or other federal or states securities laws, the investor may be able to cancel the purchase and receive a refund of the investment.

  

If a penny stock is sold to the investor in a fraudulent manner, the investor may be able to sue the persons and firms that committed the fraud for damages.

 

The fact that we are a penny stock company will cause many brokers to refuse to handle transactions in the stocks, and may discourage trading activity and volume, or result in wide disparities between bid and ask prices. These may cause investors significant illiquidity of the stock at a price at which they may wish to sell or in the opportunity to complete a sale. Investors will have no effective legal remedies for these illiquidity issues.

 

We will pay no dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

We have not paid dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying such dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

Rule 144 sales in the future may have a depressive effect on our stock price.

 

All of the outstanding shares of common stock held by our present officers, directors, and affiliate stockholders are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. As restricted Shares, these shares may be resold only pursuant to an effective registration statement or under the requirements of Rule 144 or other applicable exemptions from registration under the Act and as required under applicable state securities laws. Rule 144 provides in essence that a person who has held restricted securities for six months, under certain conditions, sell every three months, in brokerage transactions, a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of 1.0% of a company’s outstanding common stock or the average weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks prior to the sale. There is no limit on the amount of restricted securities that may be sold by a non-affiliate after the owner has held the restricted securities for a period of six months. A sale under Rule 144 or under any other exemption from the Act, if available, or pursuant to subsequent registration of shares of common stock of present stockholders, may have a depressive effect upon the price of the common stock in any market that may develop.

 

Any sales of our common stock, if in significant amounts, are likely to depress the future market price of our securities.

 

Assuming all of the shares of common stock held by the selling security holders registered recently in a Form S-1 that became effective in 2019 are sold, we would have 38,208,210 new shares that are freely tradable and therefor available for sale, in market or private transactions.

 

Unrestricted sales of 38,208,210 shares of stock by these selling stockholders could have a huge negative impact on our share price, and the market for our shares.

  

43 

Any new potential investors will suffer a disproportionate risk and there will be immediate dilution of existing investor’s investments.

 

Our present shareholders have acquired their securities at a cost significantly less than that which the investors purchasing pursuant to shares will pay for their stock holdings or at which future purchasers in the market may pay. Therefore, any new potential investors will bear most of the risk of loss.

 

We can issue shares of preferred stock without shareholder approval, which could adversely affect the rights of common shareholders.

 

Our Articles of Incorporation permit our Board of Directors to establish the rights, privileges, preferences and restrictions, including voting rights, of future series of stock and to issue such stock without approval from our shareholders. The rights of holders of common stock may suffer as a result of the rights granted to holders of preferred stock that may be issued in the future. In addition, we could issue preferred stock to prevent a change in control of our Company, depriving common shareholders of an opportunity to sell their stock at a price in excess of the prevailing market price.
