OUR BUSINESS

 

We were 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”).

We are based in San Diego, California, and operate as a technology-based company with divisions providing telecommunications, construction and product distribution, media content for domestic and international syndication as well as technology solutions. We operate as a Media Content Hub for Domestic and International syndication, Technology/Telecommunications company using 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. 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.

 

We anticipate needing an estimated $50,000,000 in capital to continue our business operations and expansion. We do not have committed sources for these additional funds and will need to be obtained through debt or equity placements or a combination of those. We are in negotiations for certain sources to provide funding but at this time do not have a committed source of these funds.  This offering is anticipated to be part of the $50,000,000 we seek in capital.

 

Our executive offices are located at 501 West Broadway, Suite 800, San Diego, CA 92101 and the telephone number is (619) 400-4996. We maintain a website at www.tptglobaltech.com, and such website is not incorporated into or a part of this filing.

Our Business Segments

 

Our business segment consists generally of providing strategic, legacy and data integration products and services to small, medium and enterprise business, wholesale and governmental customers, including other communication providers. Our strategic products and services offered to these customers include our collocation, hosting, broadband, VoIP, information technology and other ancillary services. Our services offered to these customers primarily include local and long-distance voice, inducing the sale of unbundled network elements (“UNEs”), switched access and other ancillary services. Our product offerings include the sale of telecommunications equipment located on customers’ premises and related products and professional services, all of which are described further below.

 

Our products and services include local and long-distance voice, broadband, Ethernet, collocation, hosting (including cloud hosting and managed hosting), data integration, video, network, public access, VoIP, information technology and other ancillary services.

 

We offer our customers the ability to bundle together several products and services. For example, we offer integrated and unlimited local and long-distance voice services. Our customers can also bundle two or more services such as broadband, video (including through our strategic partnerships), voice services. We believe our customers value the convenience and price discounts associated with receiving multiple services through a single company.

 

Most of our products and services are provided using our telecommunications network, which consists of voice and data switches and other equipment.

 

Our key products and services are described in greater detail in the Information with Respect to the Registrant Section.

 

Government Regulation

 

Overview

 

As discussed further below, our operations are subject to significant local, state, federal and foreign laws and regulations.

 

We are subject to the significant regulations by the FCC, which regulates interstate communications, and state utility commissions, which regulate intrastate communications. These agencies (i) issue rules to protect consumers and promote competition, (ii) set the rates that telecommunication companies charge each other for exchanging traffic, and (iii) have traditionally developed and administered support programs designed to subsidize the provision of services to high-cost rural areas. In most states, local voice service, switched and special access services and interconnection services are subject to price regulation, although the extent of regulation varies by type of service and geographic region. In addition, we are required to maintain licenses with the FCC and with state utility commissions. Laws and regulations in many states restrict the manner in which a licensed entity can interact with affiliates, transfer assets, issue debt and engage in other business activities. Many acquisitions and divestitures may require approval by the FCC and some state commissions. These agencies typically have the authority to withhold their approval, or to request or impose substantial conditions upon the transacting parties in connection with granting their approvals.

 

The description beginning on page 63 discusses some of the major industry regulations that may affect our traditional operations, but numerous other regulations not discussed below could also impact us. Some legislation and regulations are currently the subject of judicial, legislative and administrative proceedings which could substantially change the manner in which the telecommunications industry operates and the amount of revenues we receive for our services.

 

Neither the outcome of these proceedings, nor their potential impact on us, can be predicted at this time. For additional information, see "Risk Factors."

 

The laws and regulations governing our affairs are quite complex and occasionally in conflict with each other. From time to time, we are fined for failing to meet applicable regulations or service requirements.

RISK FACTORS SUMMARY

 

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk because our business is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, as more fully described in the section titled “Risk Factors” included elsewhere in this prospectus. You should carefully consider these risks before making an investment. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

 

·

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.

 

·

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

 

·

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.

 

·

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

 

·

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.

 

·

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.

 

·

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.

 

·

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.

 

·

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.

 

·

We operate in a very competitive environment.

 

·

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

 

·

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.

 

·

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

 

·

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

 

·

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.

 

·

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

 

·

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

 

·

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

 

·

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

 

·

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 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.

 

·

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

 

·

Our activities outside the United States could disrupt our operations.

 

·

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

 

·

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 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 are subject to extensive regulation.

 

·

COVID-19 effects on the economy may negatively affect our Company business.

 

·

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

Table of Contents

 

 

·

Sales of common stock resulting from issuances of common stock for conversions by our convertible noteholders or Rule 144 sales in the future will have a depressive effect on our common stock price.

 

·

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

 

·

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

 

·

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

 

·

Our directors’ liability to us and shareholders is limited.

 

·

Our Stock prices in the Market may be volatile.

 

·

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.

 

·

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

 

·

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

 

·

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

 

·

Our common 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, after any conversion from Preferred Stock.

 

·

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

 

·

We will pay no dividends in the foreseeable future on common stock.

 

·

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

 

·

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

 

·

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

 

·

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

 

·

We will continue to be a reporting company due to the effectiveness of a Form 8-A to be filed concurrent with the acceptance of the NASDAQ listing.

 

·

Sales of common stock resulting from issuances of common stock for conversions by our convertible noteholders or Rule 144 sales in the future will have a depressive effect on our common stock price.

 

·

We may not successfully meet the NASDAQ Requirements for a listing of our stock, in which case this offering will not occur.

 

·

If an active, liquid trading market for our warrants (forming part of the units offered hereby) does not develop, you may not be able to sell your warrants quickly or at a desirable price.

 

·

Holders of our warrants (forming part of the units offered hereby) will have no rights as a common stockholder until they acquire our common stock.

 

·

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

 

·

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.

 

·

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.

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:

 

 

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.

 

 
8

Table of Contents

 

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;

 

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 September 30, 2023, the total debt or financing arrangements was $9,882,725, of which approximately $7,021,068 or 20% of total current liabilities is past due.  As of September 30, 2023, the Company had financing lease liability-related amounts of $731,830.  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.

Table of Contents

 

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.

Table of Contents

 

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 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.

 

 
11

Table of Contents

 

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.

 

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.

Table of Contents

 

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 has ruled 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.

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 changed significantly as a result of 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 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.

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 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 new technologies, or that any new technologies 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 the 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.

 

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 service 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 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 meritless 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 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.

COVID-19 effects on the economy may negatively affect our Company business.

 

In December 2019, COVID-19 emerged and has subsequently spread worldwide. The World Health Organization has declared COVID-19 a pandemic resulting in federal, state and local governments and private entities mandating various restrictions, including travel restrictions, restrictions on public gatherings, stay at home orders and advisories and quarantining of people who may have been exposed to the virus.

 

As the COVID-19 pandemic is complex and rapidly evolving, the Company's business may be negatively affected for a sustained time frame. At this point, we cannot reasonably estimate the duration and severity of this pandemic, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

 

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 nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. Financing activities described below have helped with working capital and other capital requirements.

 

We incurred $3,093,608 and $11,352,944, respectively, in losses, and we used $442,135 and $263,313, respectively, in cash for operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. We calculate the net cash used by operating activities by decreasing, or increasing in case of gain, our let loss by those items that do not require the use of cash such as depreciation, amortization, research and development, derivative expense or gain, gain on extinguishment of debt and share-based compensation which totaled to a net $343,636 for 2023 and $7,704,624 for 2022. 

 

In addition, we report increases and reductions in liabilities as uses of cash and decreases assets and increases in liabilities as sources of cash, together referred to as changes in operating assets and liabilities.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we had a net change in our assets and liabilities of $2,303,246 primarily from an increase in accounts payable from lag of payments for accounts payable for cash flow considerations and increase in prepaid expenses.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 we had a net increase to our assets and liabilities of $3,385007 for similar reasons.

 

Cash flows from financing activities were $382,505 and $(175,057) for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, these cash flows were generated from proceeds from convertible notes of $358,500 and other notes receivable - related parties of $139,931 offset by payment on convertible loans, advances and factoring agreements of $83,221 and $32,705 in cash used in discontinued operations.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, cash flows were generated from proceeds from convertible notes, loans and advances of $1,256,187 offset by payment on convertible loans, advances and factoring agreements of $1,391,580 and payments on amounts payable – related parties of $39,664.

 

Cash flows used in investing activities were $0 and $16,297, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 primarily related to the acquisition of property and equipment for 2022 and discontinued operations for 2023.

 

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.

 

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.

Sales of common stock resulting from issuances of common stock for conversions by our convertible noteholders or Rule 144 sales in the future will have a depressive effect on our common stock price.

 

Most of our convertible noteholders have rights to convert their notes at significant discounts to the market prices as shown in the schedule below, for sale under the requirements of Rule 144 or other applicable exemptions from registration under the Act and perhaps under registration statements which the company is preparing to file in the next thirty days. Rule 144 provides in essence that a person who has held restricted securities for six months or is deemed to have held them due to the issuance by the Company of convertible notes under certain conditions, may sell those shares in brokerage transactions. 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 underlying the convertible notes, will have a depressive effect upon the price of the common stock in the market, since they are issued at a discount to market-often 50-60% of the lowest bid for differing periods, and sales can be expected at some discounted prices, with larger than normal volumes.  We have also issued preferred stock and options and warrants that allow for the purchase of shares at significant discounts to the market prices, often 50% of the ten-day low bids, or other highly discounted rates, which would allow the holders of those warrants to sell shares into the market at a profit over their discounted price, which could have the effect of depressing the price of the shares in the market.

 

The Company has convertible debt and preferred stock outstanding for which common shares would be required to be issued upon exercise by the holders.  As of September 30, 2023, the following shares would be issued:

 

Convertible Promissory Notes

 

 

6,750,885,442

 

Series A Preferred Stock (1)

 

 

28,788,595,385

46,098,412,954

 

_________________________

 

(1)

Holder of the Series A Preferred Stock which is Stephen J. Thomas, is guaranteed 60% of the then outstanding common stock upon conversion. The Company would have to authorize additional shares for this to occur as only 4,500,000,000 shares were authorized as of September 30, 2023. There are 15,000,000,000 shares authorized as of January 31, 2024.

 

 

 

 

(2)

Holders of the Series D Preferred Stock may decide after 12 months to convert to common stock @ 75% of the 30 day average market closing price (for previous 30 business days) divided into $5.00. There is also an automatic conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock without consent of holders upon any national exchange listing approval and the registration effectiveness of common stock underlying the conversion rights. The automatic conversion to common from Series D Preferred shall be @ 75% of the 30 day average market closing price (for previous 30 business days) divided into $5.00.

 

 

 

 

(3)

Holders of the Series E Preferred Stock may decide after 12 months to convert to common stock @ 75% of the 30 day average market closing price (for previous 30 business days) divided into $5.00. There is also an automatic conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock without consent of holders upon any national exchange listing approval and the registration effectiveness of common stock underlying the conversion rights. The automatic conversion to common from Series E Preferred shall be @ 75% of the 30 day average market closing price (for previous 30 business days) divided into $5.00.

 

Part of the consideration in the acquisition of Aire Fitness was the issuance of 500,000 restricted common shares of the Company vesting and issuable after the common stock reaches at least a $1.00 per share closing price in trading.  To date, this has not occurred but may happen in the future upon which the Company will issue 500,000 common shares to the non-controlling interest owners of Aire Fitness.

 

Stock Options 

 

There are currently no stock options outstanding.

 

On October 14, 2017, the Board of Directors and majority stockholders of TPT approved the 2017 TPT Global Tech, Inc. Stock Option and Award Incentive Plan (“the 2017 Plan.”) There are 20,000,000 shares of our common stock reserved under the 2017 Plan.

 

On February 1, 2024, by unanimous written consent, the Board of Directors and Majority Shareholder of TPT Global Tech, Inc. (the “Company”) approved and adopted an amendment and restatement of the 2024 TPT Global Tech, Inc. Stock Option, Compensation, and Award Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) to increase the maximum number of common shares, with a par value of $0.001 (“Common Shares”), available for grant to participants under the Plan to 3,500,000,000 Common Shares. In addition, the Plan was amended to define “Eligible Person” as an Employee, Consultant (Person or Professional Services Company) or Director of the Company, any Parent or any Subsidiary. A company other than a Professional Services Company is NOT eligible and “Issuance for Compensation for Services” shall mean the issuance for valuable and adequate consideration determined by the Board as determined by performance pursuant to an agreement. This Plan amends and supersedes any and all prior Plans.

Warrants

 

As of September 30, 2023, there were 129,116,666 warrants outstanding that expire in five years or in the years ended December 31, 2024 -2027.  As part of the Convertible Promissory Notes payable – third party issuance in Note 5, the Company issued 1,000,000 warrants to purchase 1,000,000 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.  

 

On January 31, 2022, TPT Global Tech, Inc. issued warrants in conjunction with the issuance of Talos and Blue Lake Note Agreements.  Warrants to purchase 18,116,666 shares of common stock at $0.015 per share.

 

The warrants issued under these convertible promissory notes were considered derivative liabilities valued at $110,419 of the total $4,203,788 derivative liabilities as of December 31, 2022. See Note 5.

 

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. 

 

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

 

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.

 

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. (See “Conflicts of Interest” at page 82.)

 

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 our 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.

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 at least $50,000,000 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 salespeople 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 service 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.

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; and

 

 

 

 

·

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.

 

Our common 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, after any conversion from Preferred Stock.

 

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 common stock or other securities.

 

We are a “penny stock” company. Our common stock currently trades on the OTCPINK under the symbol “TPTW” and 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 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 related to brokerage accounts; 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 on common stock.

 

We have not paid dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying such dividends in the foreseeable future. The Series D and Series E Preferred Stock will be paid 6% per annum on a cumulative basis, in cash or in registered common stock.

 

Rule 144 sales of stock 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, common 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.

 

Outside of this offering, convertible debt arrangements and convertible preferred stock that exist, there are no intended sales of common stock.

 

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 hereto 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 future series of 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.

 

We will continue to be a reporting company due to the effectiveness of a Form 8-A to be filed concurrent with the acceptance of the NASDAQ listing.

 

We are subject to the reporting requirements under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, Section 13a, due to the effectiveness of previous offerings, pursuant to Section 15d of the Securities Act and we intend to be registered under Section 12(b) concurrent with a NASDAQ listing. As a result, shareholders will have access to the information required to be reported by publicly held companies under the Exchange Act and the regulations thereunder. As a result, we will be subject to legal and accounting expenses that private companies are not subject to and this could affect our ability to generate operating income.

 

Sales of common stock resulting from issuances of common stock for conversions by our convertible noteholders or Rule 144 sales in the future will have a depressive effect on our common stock price.

 

Most of our convertible noteholders have rights to convert their notes at significant discounts to the market prices as shown in the schedule below, for sale under the requirements of Rule 144 or other applicable exemptions from registration under the Act and perhaps under registration statements which the company is preparing to file in the next thirty days. Rule 144 provides in essence that a person who has held restricted securities for six months, or is deemed to have held them due to the issuance by the Company of convertible notes under certain conditions, may sell those shares in brokerage transactions. 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 underlying the convertible notes, will have a depressive effect upon the price of the common stock in the market, since they are issued at a discount to market-often 50-60% of the lowest bid for differing periods, and sales can be expected at some discounted prices, with larger than normal volumes.  We have also issued warrants that allow for the purchase of shares at significant discounts to the market prices, often 50% of the ten day low bids, or other highly discounted rates, which would allow the holders of those warrants to sell shares into the market at a profit over their discounted price, which could have the effect of depressing the price of the shares in the market.

 

We may not successfully meet the NASDAQ Requirements for a listing of our stock, in which case this offering will not occur.

 

NASDAQ Requirements for listing include the following:

 

 

a)

$4.00 trading price for 30 trading days. Reverse Split of the issued and outstanding shares is necessary in order to meet this criteria, which must be accomplished by the Company, and has not yet been completed.

 

 

 

 

b)

$4,000,000 net shareholder’s equity to be accomplished through this offering.

 

 

 

 

c)

SEC Section 12(b) Registration which has not been achieved.

 

 

 

 

d)

At least 100,000 shares of public float. This criteria has been accomplished.

 

 

 

 

e)

A minimum of 300+ shareholders. This criteria has been accomplished.

 

 

 

 

f)

Total assets of $4,000,000. Will be accomplished through this offering.

 

 

 

 

g)

At least two market makers.

 

 

 

 

h)

Public float market value of $1,000,000. This criteria has been accomplished.

 

 

 

 

i)

Specific corporate governance such as committees and independent Directors in those committees. To be determined prior to effectiveness.

 

We will have to use proceeds from the offering to accomplish some of these criteria.  None of this is assured even with this offering.

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.

 

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.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This prospectus contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations or forecasts of future events. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and include statements regarding, among other things, our projected revenue growth and profitability, our growth strategies and opportunity, anticipated trends in our market and our anticipated needs for working capital. They are generally identifiable by use of the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plans,” “potential,” “projects,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expects,” “management believes,” “we believe,” “we intend” or the negative of these words or other variations on these words or comparable terminology. These statements may be found under the sections entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Business,” as well as in this prospectus generally. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions, prospective products, market acceptance, future performance or results of current and anticipated products, sales efforts, expenses, and the outcome of contingencies such as legal proceedings and financial results.

 

Examples of forward-looking statements in this prospectus include, but are not limited to, our expectations regarding our business strategy, business prospects, operating results, operating expenses, working capital, liquidity and capital expenditure requirements. Important assumptions relating to the forward-looking statements include, among others, assumptions regarding demand for our products, the cost, terms and availability of components, pricing levels, the timing and cost of capital expenditures, competitive conditions and general economic conditions. These statements are based on our management’s expectations, beliefs and assumptions concerning future events affecting us, which in turn are based on currently available information. These assumptions could prove inaccurate. Although we believe that the estimates and projections reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, our expectations may prove to be incorrect.

 

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results and events anticipated or implied by such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:

 

 

increased levels of competition;

 

changes in the market acceptance of our products;

 

changes in political, economic or regulatory conditions generally and in the markets in which we operate;

 

our relationships with our key customers;

 

our ability to retain and attract senior management and other key employees;

 

our ability to quickly and effectively respond to new technological developments;

 

our ability to protect our trade secrets or other proprietary rights, operate without infringing upon the proprietary rights of others and prevent others from infringing on the proprietary rights of the Company; and

 

other risks, including those described in the “Risk Factors” discussion of this prospectus.

 

We operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for us to predict all of those risks, nor can we assess the impact of all of those risks on our business or the extent to which any factor may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. The forward-looking statements in this prospectus are based on assumptions management believes are reasonable. However, due to the uncertainties associated with forward-looking statements, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Further, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and unless required by law, we expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to publicly update any of them in light of new information, future events, or otherwise.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

The securities, units, offered under this prospectus and registered on Form S-1 involve the following:

 

7,692,308 shares (or 8,461,539 shares if the Underwriters’ exercise the over-allotment option to purchase additional shares in full and are issued shares as additional compensation to the Broker/Dealer) to purchase shares at $6.50 per share. The sale of securities to the investors in this Offering will be evidenced by a purchase agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) between us and such investors in a form reasonably satisfactory to us and [●] (“[●]”). [●] shall be a third-party beneficiary with respect to the representations, warranties and covenants, closing conditions and closing deliverables included in the Purchase Agreement.

 

On [●], 2024, we engaged [●] (“[●]”) through a letter agreement (“Agreement”) to serve as the exclusive agent, advisor or underwriter covering the sale of up to approximately $50,000,000 of securities of the Company (“Offering”). The term of the engagement will end [●]. Under such Agreement, [●] is to receive a cash fee, or as to an underwritten Offering an underwriter discount, equal to 6% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised in each Offering. We paid a $10,000 non-refundable advance to [●] upon execution of the Agreement to be credited against the accountable expenses actually incurred by [●]. At the Closing of each Offering, we will issue to [●] (or its designees) warrants to purchase shares of common stock as additional compensation for its services. The number of shares purchasable under such warrants will equal to 8% of the number of shares issued in the Offering pursuant to the solicitation of [●]. The warrants shall have a term of five (5) years, contain cashless exercise provisions and piggyback registration rights, and have an exercise price equal to 110% of the offering price per share in the applicable Offering and if such offering price is not available, the market price of the common stock on the date an Offering is commenced. We will grant [●] an option that is exercisable within 45 days after the closing of the Offering to acquire up to an additional 15.0% of the total number of securities to be offered by us in the Offering. Out of the proceeds of each Closing, we also agree to pay [●] (a) up to $35,000 for non-accountable expenses (to be increased to $50,000 in case of a public Offering) and (b) up to $125,000 for fees and expenses of legal counsel and other out-of-pocket expenses (to be increased to $150,000 in case of a public Offering); plus an additional costs associated with the use of a third-party electronic road show service, if applicable.

 

We estimate that we will receive gross proceeds of approximately $50,000,000 (or approximately $55,000,000 if the underwriter exercises in full its option to purchase up to 769,231 additional shares of common stock) based on the assumed public offering price of $6.50 per share before deducting the estimated placement discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

 

Each $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price of $ [●] per share would increase (decrease) the net proceeds to us from this offering by $ [●] million, assuming the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same, and after deducting the estimated placement discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. Similarly, each increase (decrease) of 1.0 million shares in the number of shares offered by us would increase (decrease) the net proceeds to us from this offering by approximately $ [●] million, assuming the assumed initial public offering price remains the same, and after deducting the estimated placement discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. We do not expect that a change in the initial public offering price or the number of shares by these amounts would have a material effect on our uses of the proceeds from this offering, although it may accelerate the time at which we will need to seek additional capital.

 

We intend to use the net proceeds ($46,000,000 calculated as follows: $50,000,000 less estimated placement discounts, commissions and other expenses of $4,000,000) from the sale of the 7,692,308 shares of common stock for the following:

 

 

·

$5,000,000 for product and technology engineering and development;

 

·

$5,000,000 for equipment purchases;

 

·

$9,000,000 for repayment of short-term debt and other financing arrangements;

 

·

$10,000,000 for business development, and business acquisitions

 

·

$17,000,000 for other general working capital, investor relations, internal controls remediation, human capital and other corporate purposes.

 

This expected use of the net proceeds from this offering represents our intentions based on our current plans and business conditions, which could change in the future as our plans and business conditions evolve. If management reasonably determines that the net proceeds from this offering would not be sufficient to meet the Company’s development plans and other working capital obligations after closing, management will re-evaluate and revise its current plans and/or seek other sources of financing, although management currently has no specific additional financing plans. The amounts and timing of our use of proceeds will vary depending on a number of factors, including the amount of cash generated or used by our operations. As a result, we will retain broad discretion in the allocation of the net proceeds of this offering, and our investors will be relying on the judgment of our management regarding the application of the net proceeds of this offering. In addition, while we have not entered into any agreements, commitments or understandings relating to any significant transaction as of the date of this prospectus, we may use a portion of the net proceeds to pursue acquisitions, joint ventures and other strategic transactions.

 

Pending their use, we intend to invest the net proceeds of this offering in short-term interest-bearing investment-grade securities, certificates of deposit or government securities. The goal with respect to the investment of these net proceeds is capital preservation and liquidity so that such funds are readily available to fund our operations.

 

Although the items set forth above indicate management’s present estimate of our needed capital and of our use of the net proceeds to be spend proportionately as received in this Offering, we may reallocate the proceeds or utilize them for other corporate purposes. Our actual use of proceeds may vary from these estimates because of a number of factors, including whether we are successful in completing future acquisitions, whether we obtain additional funding, what other obligations have been incurred by us, the operating results of our initial acquisition activities, and whether we are able to operate profitably. If our need for working capital increases, we may seek additional funds through loans or other financing. There are no commitments for any such financing, and there can be no assurance that these funds may be obtained in the future if the need arises.

Market Information

 

Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTCPINK under the symbol “TPTW”.

Rules Governing Low-price Stocks That May Affect Our Shareholders' Ability to Resell Shares of Our Common Stock

 

Our common stock currently is traded on the OTCPINK under the symbol TPTW.

 

Quotations on the OTCPINK reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, markdown or commission and may not reflect actual transactions. Our common stock will be subject to certain rules adopted by the SEC that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks.” Penny stocks generally are securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that the exchange or system provides current price and volume information with respect to transaction in such securities. The additional sales practice and disclosure requirements imposed upon broker-dealers are and may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our shares which could severely limit the market liquidity of the shares and impede the sale of shares in the secondary market.

 

The penny stock rules require broker-dealers, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to make a special suitability determination for the purchaser to receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to sale, to deliver standardized risk disclosure documents prepared by the SEC that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock. In addition, the penny stock regulations require the broker-dealer to deliver, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt. A broker-dealer is also required to disclose commissions payable to the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, a broker-dealer is required to send monthly statements disclosing recent price information with respect to the penny stock held in a customer's account and information with respect to the limited market in penny stocks.

 

Holders

 

As of January 31, 2024, we have 438 shareholders of record of our common stock. Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about us. Under Rule 144, a person who has not been an affiliate at any time during the three months preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned the shares proposed to be sold for at least 6 months, is entitled to sell shares without complying with the manner of sale, volume limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144.

 

2,687,746,022 and 1,882,579,354 shares of our common stock are outstanding as of January 31, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively. (The Company intends to effectuate a reverse split, anticipated to be a net of one for [●], of the common stock so that it can attempt to have the common stock listed on NASDAQ.) The Holder of the Series A Preferred stock has agreed and will convert to 60% of the common stock then outstanding after conversion concurrent with any exchange listing which will result in issuance of another approximately 28,788,595,385, calculated as of September 30, 2023, shares of common stock.  In addition, the Series D and E Preferred Stock and certain of the convertible debt outstanding have automatic conversion features which would also cause common stock to be issued.   

  

 
29

Table of Contents

 

Assuming the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and all other automatically convertible preferred stock and all convertible debt, there would be 47,980,992,308 common shares outstanding as of September 30, 2023.  In addition, assuming that all shares were sold in this offering, including the over-allotment, there would be another 8,461,539-post reverse stock split common shares outstanding.   

 

Dividends

 

As of the filing of this prospectus, we have not paid any dividends on our common stock to shareholders. The Series D and Series E Preferred Stock will be paid 6% per annum on a cumulative basis, in cash or in registered common stock. There are no restrictions which would limit our ability to pay dividends on common equity or that are likely to do so in the future, except limitations under financing agreements. The Florida Revised Statutes, however, do prohibit us from declaring dividends where, after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend; we would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or our total assets would be less than the sum of the total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of shareholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution.

 

DIVIDEND POLICY

 

The Company has not paid any cash dividends to date and does not anticipate or contemplate paying cash dividends on our capital stock in the foreseeable future. It is the present intention of management to utilize all available funds and future earnings for the development of the Company’s business. Any future determination to declare cash dividends will be made at the discretion of our Board of Directors, subject to applicable laws, and will depend on our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, general business conditions and other factors that our Board of Directors may deem relevant. Our future ability to pay cash dividends on our capital stock may be limited by any future debt instruments or preferred securities.

The following table sets forth our actual cash and cash equivalents and our capitalization as of September 30, 2023 as follows:

 

 

·

on an actual basis;

DILUTION

 

If you invest in our common stock in this offering, your ownership interest will be immediately diluted to the extent of the difference between the assumed public offering price per share of common stock and the as adjusted net tangible book value per share after giving effect to this offering. This discussion assumes the achievement of an offering of 7,692,308 at a $6.50 per share price and net proceeds, after commissions and offering expenses, of $4,000,000,assuming a net reverse stock split of [●] shares to one, concurrent with approval of a NASDAQ listing. (See “Risk Factors”)

 

The net tangible book value (deficit) of our Company as of September 30, 2023 was $(33,884,825) or $(0.018) per share. The proforma net tangible book value (deficit) of our Company (see Capitalization) as of September 30, 2023 was $16,115,117 or $0.009 per share, after giving effect on a pro forma basis to reflect the following:

 

 

(i)

$5,000,000 for product and technology engineering and development; or $ [●] per share,

 

(ii)

$5,000,000 for equipment purchases of $ [●] per share,

 

(iii)

$9,000,000 for repayment of short term debt and other financing arrangements or $ [●] per share,

 

(iv)

$10,000,000 for business development, business acquisitions and property and equipment purchases or $ [●] per share, and

 

(v)

$17,000,000 for other general working capital, investor relations, internal controls remediation, human capital resources and other corporate purposes or $ [●] per share.

 

Tangible pro forma book value is calculated by adjusting the pro forma equity balance by intangibles, goodwill, operating right of use assets, operating lease liabilities and derivative liabilities.

 

The following table illustrates the range of immediate dilution to new investors (post reverse stock split):

The information above assumes that the underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment option. If the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full, the as adjusted net tangible book value will increase to $ [●] or $ [●] per share, representing an immediate increase to existing stockholders of $ [●] per share and an immediate dilution of $ [●] per share to new investors. If any shares are issued upon exercise of outstanding options or warrants, new investors will experience further dilution.

 

The following table sets forth, as of September 30, 2023, the assumed number of shares of common stock purchased from us, the total consideration paid to us and the price per share paid by existing stockholders and to be paid by new investors purchasing units (of which shares of common stock form a part) in this offering, after giving pro forma effect to conversion of convertible notes, conversion of all preferred stock, exchange of debt for preferred stock, authorization of sufficient shares for all debt and preferred stock conversions and the issuance of units to the new investors in this offering at the public offering price of $ [●] per unit, together with the total consideration paid at an average price per share paid by each of these groups, after deducting commissions and estimated offering expenses, all on a post reverse stock split basis assumed at one for [●].

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

 

CORPORATE HISTORY

 

COMPANY OVERVIEW

 

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 since the reverse merger in 2014.

Currently there is a limited public trading market for our stock on OTCPINK under the symbol “TPTW.”

 

Our Key Operating Divisions:

 

TPT SpeedConnect: ISP and Telecom (Held within TPT’s majority controlled subsidiary Asberry 22 Holdings, Inc.)

 

The Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of SpeedConnect LLC (“SpeedConnect”) for $1.75 million, including the assumption of all contracts and liabilities pertinent to operations and conveyed them into a wholly-owned subsidiary TPT SpeedConnect.  SpeedConnect was founded in 2002 and operates as a national, predominantly rural, wireless telecommunications residential and commercial Internet Service Provider (ISP). TPT SpeedConnect’s primary business model is subscription based, monthly reoccurring revenues, from wireless delivered, high-speed Internet connections utilizing its company built and owned national network.  SpeedConnect also resells third-party satellite Internet, DSL Internet, IP telephony and DISH TV products. This Acquisition closed on May 7, 2019.

 

SpeedConnect was a privately-held Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) provider. Today, we believe TPT SpeedConnect serves approximately 2,500 residential and commercial wireless broadband Internet customers, in Arizona, Idaho, Michigan, Montana and Texas.

 

TPT SpeedConnect is a full-service ISP.  The company’s main back office is run by company employees, and includes, network management, network monitoring and maintenance, significant allocations of registered address in public IP4 and IP6 space, employee based customer service, installation services, automated resources and application based scheduling and tracking, paper, ACH, credit card, and email billing, warehousing, fulfillment, integrated customer premise provisioning, walled garden collections and customer self-restarts, bandwidth usage tracking, integrated, secure, and deep financial and operations dash board reporting, collections, accounting, payables, owned and licensed backhaul, intelligent bandwidth management, consumption rated billing, customer payment portals, and all wrapped in a mature, first hit on all search engines, Internet Brand. The company today services approximately 2,500 residential and commercial Internet customers over its approximately 150+-cellular tower footprint across 5 Midwestern States. 

 

Today’s urban ISP landscape is highly competitive and dominated by some of the world’s largest companies.  Names like Comcast, AT&T, Cox, Charter and DISH are household words. Home Internet service has become synonymous with Cable.  However, this is limited to the high-density top 100 markets.  Beyond that the competition becomes more small licensed free wireless providers and satellite.  Wire-line providers, unless backed with government subsidies, do not build beyond 15 homes per street mile.   SpeedConnect services both rural and non-rural areas, and historically has done well in both marketplaces, however the margins are improved in the more rural areas due to reduced voluntary and involuntary customer attrition.

 

TPT SpeedConnect’s key suppliers include but are not limited to; Juniper, ZTE, Huawei, Cisco, Sandvine, American Tower, SBA Tower, Crown Castle, CenturyLink, SuddenLink, South Dakota Networks, 123 dot net, Genesee Telephone, Air Advantage Fiber, Iron Mountain, ConVergence, CDW, Talley, Tessco, Bursma Electronics, DragonWave, Ceragon Networks, Telrad, Arris, AP, APD, Plante Morran, Fifth Third, Sprint and others.

 

An Agreement and Plan of Merger ("Agreement") was made and entered into as of March 24, 2023 by and among TPT SpeedConnect LLC, a Colorado Limited Liability Company (wholly-owned subsidiary of TPT Global Tech, Inc.) ("SPC"), and Asberry 22 Holdings, Inc., a Delaware Corporation ("ASHI"), and SPC Acquisition, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of ASHI, domiciled in Colorado ("Acquisition Sub") primarily for the opportunities of capital raising. SPC then converted to a Corporate entity and Acquisition Submerged with and into SPC (the "Merger"). The separate corporate existence of Acquisition Sub ceased and SPC continues as the surviving corporation in the Merger and as wholly-owned subsidiary of ASHI. All of the properties, rights and privileges, and power of SPC, vest in the Subsidiary, and all debts, liabilities and duties of SPC are the debts, liabilities and duties of the Subsidiary. The shares of common stock of Acquisition Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time is converted into and exchange for 1,000 validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Subsidiary's common stock.

 

TPT Global Tech, Inc. was issued a total of 4,658,318 common shares of ASHI (the "ASHI Common Stock"), as a result of the merger, constituting 86% of the then issued and outstanding common stock. TPT Global Tech, Inc. also has purchased all of the 500,000 Series A Super Majority Voting Preferred Shares of ASHI for a convertible note payable of $500,000 due in 180 days which bears interest at 6.0% per annum and is convertible to shares of the Company’s common stock at 85% of the volume weighted average price for the preceding 5 market trading days.  This note payable has not been paid and is considered delinquent.  Discussions are ongoing with the holder of the note payable.

Our Company was formed as the successor of two US Corporations, Ally Pharma US, a Pharmaceutical technology research company founded in 1988 and TPT Global Inc. a Media Content, Voice and Data, Interconnect and International gateway provider. TPT Global Tech is headquartered in San Diego, California and operates as a holding company for its Media, Smartphone, Network, Content and SaaS (Software as a Services) domestic and international businesses. 

 

Historically and through key acquisitions we launched Telecommunications wholesale and retail operations in the United States and Internationally. These first acquisitions with their Customer Bases, Distribution Channels and Technology are the base for our organic growth strategy and provide opportunities to cross sell our platforms and New Media Technology products and services Domestically and Internationally. 

 

We are based in San Diego, California and operate as a technology-based company with divisions providing telecommunications, medical technology and product distribution, media content for domestic and international syndication as well as technology solutions.

Each of our four divisions contributes to the launch of our global Content delivery platform “VuMe” formerly known as “ViewMe Live” and creates cross pollinating revenue opportunities and a closed Global E-commerce Eco environment which we believe will help us execute our short- and long-term corporate objectives. Our Content Division TPT Media and Entertainment LLC which consists of Blue Collar Productions (our TV and Film content Production company) creates original content and in some cases third party content. Once Content has been produced, we will then broadcast and deliver that content over our proprietary VuMe Mobile TV and Social media  Platform domestically and internationally.

 

Our corporate goal is to work within our four in house divisions (Smartphone, Network, Content and SaaS) to launch hardware abs software sales and build a viewer subscriber base domestically and internationally.

We have generated revenues in 2023, 2022 and 2021, primarily through operating as a Broadband Internet provider. The Company can also operate its approximate 58 miles Fiber optic ring throughout the greater Phoenix valley offering such services as Basic Residential Phone service, Basic Business phone service, POT’s lines, Basic Fiber Broadband Internet services, Wireless Internet Services, Toll Free 800 services, EFax, Erate, Dedicated T-1 Services, Auto Attendant, SIP Trunks, Mobile and VoIP services. These offerings will continue for the foreseeable future weighted heavily towards offering more Wireless Internet services and the Fiber Ring will be transformed into a Private Test facility to be offered for rent to businesses needing a private network to test new products for proof of concept purposes.   Since the acquisition of the assets of SpeedConnect in 2019, we operate as a Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) provider and are considered one of the nation’s largest rural wireless broadband Internet providers serving approximately 2,500 residential and commercial wireless broadband Internet customers, in Arizona, Idaho, Michigan, Montana, and Texas.

 

We, and our related acquired companies are seeking to be an innovative Media-Telecom/CUBS (Cloud Unified Businesses Services) company and one of the first to combine recurring Telecom, Media and Data/Cloud Services revenue under one roof, then bring all relevant data from those services into a proprietary telecom infrastructure and information matrix platform capable of delivering a “Daily and Intelligent Dashboard” to our Domestic and International customers. Such a planned cohesive combination of services and information from a single provider has been heretofore nonexistent. We intend to pioneer an integrate communication services and information technology suites to empower individuals and companies with vital communications, Smartphone, Network, Content, SaaS (Software as A Service), New Media Technology products and services, and valuable relevant diagnostic information both Domestically and Internationally.  

We are currently able to deliver a live Global Mobile TV Broadcast and Social Media Platform utilizing a Mobile App technology on our proprietary Content Delivery Network “VuMe”. We plan to expand our Cloud Unified Business Services (CUBS) technology-based business services unifying multiple services from the cloud including applications developed for our medical division.

 

CUBS (Cloud Unified Business Services) - We are a CUBS provider, acquiring customers and then cross selling additional products and services through our proprietary Wrap Around Relationship Marketing (WARM) system, intending to make the customers very sticky – prone to not leave as a customer.

 

Planned Activities

 

Big Data & Predictive Analytics - Our capability to utilize our proprietary aggregation platform to gather data from our hardware and software edge device (End Users) deployments positions the Company to be a leader in predictive analytics.

Cross-Sales – Our growth strategy through complimentary acquisitions may create opportunities to cross and sell its New Generation, New Media technology products and services to a growing customer base across multiple distribution channels, both domestically and internationally. 

 

Market Launch - Through our acquisition of VuMe from Matrixsites, we have acquired the live backend broadcast Network technology for our Global Mobile TV and Social Media platform. Subject to raising capital of ($500,000 to $5,000,000) from our fund-raising activities, we believe we are within 60 to 90 days of launching our “VuMe” Mobile APP delivery platform.

Our actual use proceeds may vary from these estimates because of a number of factors, including whether we are successful in completing future acquisitions, whether we obtain additional funding, what other obligations have been incurred by us, the operating results of our initial acquisition activities, and whether we are able to operate profitably. If our need for working capital increases, we may seek additional funds through loans or other financing. There are no current commitments for any such financing opportunity, and there can be no assurance that these funds may be obtained in the future if the need arises.

TPT does not have committed financing for the transaction at this time and is seeking equity and debt through its existing Reg A capital raise, debt financing or a proposed public offering.

 

Our Business Methods

 

Centralized Platform and New Generation Network

 

Upon the closing of our acquisition of GeoKall, we will be operating a next-generation broadband network reselling other companies’ networks on a wholesale arbitrage basis (buying and reselling other companies’ capacity).”Geokall ESim Platform”. We will be interconnected to U.S. and International carriers to date. Once funded, we intend to deploy our own in-country networks in the targeted emerging markets. This will enable us to be able to provide better quality termination and increase our operating margins. We believe our platform will produce substantial operational cost savings. Because of our pricing advantage, we will be able to offer our clients products and services at an attractive pricing structure, creating a strong competitive advantage. We believe that based on our intended low network operating costs and low-cost infrastructure, we will be able to penetrate emerging markets with little network build-out and at a reasonable price. We believe that our service offerings will be well received in emerging markets based on existing relationships and pricing structure, which will enable us to set the industry standard with little competition.

 

Once we establish in-country networks, we will be able to market Phones, Networks, Content and SaaS products targeted to specific subgroups that coincide with the country/region where we have a network in place or a strategic partnership network in place.

Use of Incumbent Networks

 

Under formal agreements we can privately brand and resell incumbent carriers’ underlying broadband networks, while deploying our own Wimax/Wi-Fi/GSM service plans and mobile handsets. 

 

As a true value add, our Geokall ESim platform allows us to manage the billing and routing, offering our customers a seamless, branded network from anywhere we maintain a relationship. By way of incumbent operator networks, we can sell and market to retail and wholesale customers without the high infrastructure costs associated with deploying our own network. If and when the revenues justify the cost of constructing our own network, we plan to investigate adding a wireless Broadband/ GSM network and transfer our customer base in a final step to reduce costs of goods sold long-term. 

 

Wholesale Termination

 

Wholesale termination is the reselling of excess network capacity on a reciprocal basis to other telecom carriers both domestically and internationally. Due to the large number of carrier relationships we have in the US and abroad, we believe we can immediately increase our wholesale termination in each country in which we have a license to operate. This wholesale activity generates additional cash flow immediately if successfully implemented. Wholesale termination is a low risk, low margin business. 

 

Service Description 

 

Our next-generation wireless Broadband/GSM network relies on non-line-of-sight technology. This will provide a level of performance comparable to that delivered by evolving Worldwide Interoperability of Microwave Access (WiMAX) standards. The cost advantage equates to substantial reductions of fixed costs as compared to building traditional, legacy, and switched networks. 

 

Our products and marketing strategy unifies the various features available in today’s telecommunication environment including:

 

 

·

Significant international broadband capacity

 

 

 

 

·

High quality VoIP communication

 

 

 

 

·

Cellular/GSM and Wi-Fi wireless convergence

TPT SpeedConnect: ISP and Telecom (Held within TPT’s majority controlled subsidiary Asberry 22 Holdings, Inc.)

 

On May 7, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of SpeedConnect LLC (“SpeedConnect”) for $1.75 million, including the assumption of all contracts and liabilities pertinent to operations and conveyed them into a wholly owned subsidiary TPT SpeedConnect. The Acquisition closed on May 7, 2019. SpeedConnect was founded in 2002 by its CEO John Arthur Ogren and is in its 17th year of operations as a national, predominantly rural, wireless telecommunications residential and commercial Internet Service Provider (ISP). TPT SpeedConnect’s primary business model is subscription based, monthly reoccurring revenues, from wireless delivered, high-speed Internet connections utilizing its company built and owned national network. SpeedConnect also resells third-party satellite Internet, DSL Internet, IP telephony and DISH TV products.

 

SpeedConnect is a privately-held Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) provider. Today, TPT SpeedConnect is one of the nation’s largest rural wireless broadband Internet providers which serves approximately 2,500 residential and commercial wireless broadband Internet customers, in Arizona, Idaho, Michigan, Montana and Texas.

 

TPT SpeedConnect is a full-service ISP. The company’s back office is run by company employees, and includes network management, network monitoring and maintenance, significant allocations of registered address in public IP4 and IP6 space, employee based customer service, installation services, automated resources and application based scheduling and tracking, paper, ACH, credit card, and email billing, warehousing, fulfillment, integrated customer premise provisioning, walled garden collections and customer self-restarts, bandwidth usage tracking, integrated, secure, and deep financial and operations dash board reporting, collections, accounting, payables, owned and licensed backhaul, intelligent bandwidth management, consumption rated billing, customer payment portals, and all wrapped in a mature, first hit on all search engines, Internet Brand. The company today services approximately 2,500 residential and commercial Internet customers over its approximately 150+-cellular tower footprint across 5 Midwestern States.

 

Today’s urban ISP landscape is highly competitive and dominated by some of the world’s largest going concerns. Names like Comcast, AT&T, Cox, Charter and DISH are household words. Home Internet service has become synonymous with Cable. However, this is limited to the high-density top 100 markets. Beyond that the competition becomes more small licensed free wireless providers and satellite. Wire-line providers, unless backed with government subsidies, do not build beyond 15 homes per street mile. SpeedConnect services both rural and non-rural areas, and historically has done well in both marketplaces, however the margins are improved in the more rural areas due to reduced voluntary and involuntary customer attrition.

 

TPT SpeedConnect’s key suppliers include but are not limited to; Juniper, ZTE, Huawei, Cisco, Sandvine, American Tower, SBA Tower, Crown Castle, CenturyLink, SuddenLink, South Dakota Networks, 123 dot net, Genesee Telephone, Air Advantage Fiber, Iron Mountain, ConVergence, CDW, Talley, Tessco, Bursma Electronics, DragonWave, Ceragon Networks, Telrad, Arris, AP, APD, Plante Morran, Fifth Third, Sprint and others.

 

An Agreement and Plan of Merger ("Agreement") was made and entered into as of March 24, 2023 by and among TPT SpeedConnect LLC, a Colorado Limited Liability Company (wholly-owned subsidiary of TPT Global Tech, Inc.) ("SPC"), and Asberry 22 Holdings, Inc., a Delaware Corporation ("ASHI"), and SPC Acquisition, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of ASHI, domiciled in Colorado ("Acquisition Sub") primarily for the opportunities of capital raising. SPC then converted to a Corporate entity and Acquisition Submerged with and into SPC (the "Merger"). The separate corporate existence of Acquisition Sub ceased and SPC continues as the surviving corporation in the Merger and as wholly-owned subsidiary of ASHI. All of the properties, rights and privileges, and power of SPC, vest in the Subsidiary, and all debts, liabilities and duties of SPC are the debts, liabilities and duties of the Subsidiary.

CORPORATE STRATEGY

 

Our Goals 

 

Our primary goal is to continue to grow our business by improving value to our current customers and vendors. In providing a high-quality network we intend to continue to grow our business. Additionally, we intend to purchase established telecommunications and technology companies that will immediately generate and increase traffic (revenue) to our Company’s retail and wholesale network. Companies that we are strategically aligned with have in their core business synergistic retail products and services that include, but are not limited to, Telecom Cloud Services Media, Merchant Services/Mobile Banking, Cloud Services and Media (e.g. credit/debit card processing, check/ACH payment processing, ecommerce/merchant processing, web hosting, voice, data, GSM/Wi-Fi Mobile, Mobile Money Transfers, IPTV, VOD and Live Mobile Broadcasting, Prepaid Phone Service and ESim travel plans). If we acquire a strategic partner as a subsidiary, we believe we will have the ability to aggregate their analogous technology platforms onto our proprietary Software Access System operating platform for integration and efficiency. 

 

We intend to work our media to accelerate cohesively in the mobile technology sectors: LIVE Broadcast, Video on Demand (VOD) Apps, and Digital Video Magazine (DVM) Apps. While “white labeling” our technologies as SaaS, our primary focus is what we believe is the first Global LIVE Mobile TV broadcast and Social Media Platform or Network, VuMe Live. The VuMe Live Network™ is a 24-hour LIVE worldwide mobile TV network, delivered via iOS and Android apps. The VuMe Live Network™ presents a diversity of Linear Broadcast Channels (Domestically and International), coupled with Social Media Platforms with combined functions that compete with some of the largest and most powerful Digital Media platforms, to connected audiences who live a mobile-centric life.

 

Network Services

 

Domestic and Global Telecommunications offerings include: Mobile TV, Phone, Internet, Fiber Optic, Wireless, Hosted PBX, Wi-Fi, Wi-Max, Engineering, Cabling, Wiring and Cloud services. Our telecommunications division has pioneered innovative, hosted firewall and managed MPLS service technologies (SuperCore MPLS) and was the industry’s first to engineer patent-pending Bulletproof™ failover services utilizing our own fiber optic and wireless networks to guarantee business continuity and service uptime. 

 

As a retail and business media and telecommunications provider operating a high-speed Fiber Optic Network and Wireless Network in the USA at a cost competitive rate for new technologies, we are growing our operations through sales of our core voice & data connectivity products to small and midsized business clients. We have a growth strategy through acquisitions in order to increase regional operations and deploy more technologies to niche & underserved markets. Unified Cloud Services, Unified Communications (UC) or Unified Communications/Collaboration (UCC) has been a topic of interest to users looking to evolve from a disorderly combination of media, voice, email and message communications to something more structured. Our goal is to target existing and new small and medium businesses (“SMBs”) to transition their older voice system businesses, expand their software collaboration offerings, and most recently build cloud service offerings. Cloud solution gives our customers the flexibility to support a myriad of mobile devices as part of their hardware strategy, whether it's launching a bring-your-own-device initiative, implementing a one-to-one program or equipping SMBs with mobile computing carts full of tablets, netbooks, or notebooks in a secured environment.

Comparable “off the shelf” software systems in the marketplace can cost in the hundreds of thousands of dollars just to purchase, not to mention expensive service contracts, which may continue in perpetuity after the original purchase. Our proprietary platform, in which we have invested and have developed over several years, allows us to operate a global network with better efficiency which we believe differentiates us from other competitors in the marketplace.

FUTURE PLANS

 

Our VuMe Technology Plan

 

We offer VuMe technology for which we plan to expand marketing. We believe SaaS VuMe (VuMe) could become a leading Digital Social Media and Mobile TV technology platform in the business-to-business and business-to-consumer markets. Our proprietary software platform can reach a worldwide audience of approximately one billion mobile viewers. VuMe addresses global mobile distribution of LIVE and Video on Demand (“VOD”) content as a white label Software as a Service (“SaaS”).

 

VuMe OTT live streaming technology is similar to what you see with satellite TV such as Dish Network and DirecTV, as well as cable companies. Almost all currently existing live streaming cannot do live broadcast streaming at this level and usually has anywhere from 1 minute to 10 minute delays or continuous buffering, never loading the video. With VuMe, there is the ability to have “worldwide” access for a live streaming event equal to standard television broadcasting with tens of millions of simultaneous users. We believe that VuMe is the first technology to be able to achieve this level of live streaming. In emerging countries that do not have fiber, cable and satellite TV, access to VuMe is simple and cost effective, as long as there is a cellular connection on a 3G network or higher (regardless of provider)[1]. VuMe aims to provide uninterrupted live streaming on mobile devices without buffering, crashes, pixilation, or audio and video syncing issues. One practical application of this technology is that a viewer can move from a Wi--Fi connection to a 3G connection without interruption. VuMe has a unique user interface with multi-channel access and built-in social media, and we believe it is unlike anything currently on the market. VuMe also has the capability to do a Live Linear Broadcast with VOD. VuMe’s technology has the potential to reduce web content pirating since high quality TV broadcast is now easily accessed worldwide on mobile devices.

 

[1] Subject to the laws and regulations of each country.

 

Currently, we believe we are the only company that does all the above in the industry and we believe VuMe has the potential to expand our technologies and applications even further.

 

The hottest technology in the over the top (“OTT”) market and the biggest challenge in the OTT market is “Live Linear Channel Broadcasting” and “Live Event Broadcasting” to equal standard television broadcasting on cable and satellite TV. This type of technology is superior to video on demand (VOD) streaming technology in both acquisition and delivery. The growth of OTT video delivery has been significant. In the past year alone, OTT has grown to $35 billion in global revenue, with $17 billion coming from emerging markets source Digital TV Research. VuMe has many technology advantages including: Artificial Intelligence (“AI”); the ability to simultaneously access millions of users simultaneously with virtually no latency equivalent to standard television broadcasting; global distribution (without interruption) on cellular and Wi-Fi; and a fully interactive menu user interface and worldwide advertising brokers in place.

 

VuMe’s content delivery network (“CDN”) can potentially reach tens of millions of mobile devices (tablets and smartphones) and has the potential to scale to one billion video streams globally. It loads content within seconds, not only for Wi-Fi, but also more importantly, on cellular networks that are 3G and higher. VuMe’s core technology is fully developed and is able to support clients on a turnkey native mobile app in less than 60 days. We have already achieved major milestones as the world’s largest private conduit build out for global deployment of LIVE and VOD streaming content. Our OTT live streaming technology is unique and proprietary. Here are some highlights on how VuMe can help from telecommunication companies to TV station broadcasters to digital film libraries.

VuMe has the ability to create a “Master Network Mobile App” that can allow for a multiple channel build out, each with its own unique Pay Per View charge (optional). This means a company can have a live event channel per country with a different price per user based on the economics of that country. VuMe has unlimited channel build out (e.g. a company could have 50 channels or 1000 channels). Any telecommunications company can have professional looking displays and user interfaces for mobile with VuMe, similar to what the large telecommunications companies provide. A Master Network App also allows a network to expand into other categories by country (e.g. additional sports categories for various sports by country). Expansion can focus on audience aggregation for sports and other forms of entertainment categories. Pay-Per View is an option for these expanded categories as well. We have built-in worldwide ad brokers for pre-roll commercial ads so that revenue can be generated as soon as possible. There is also potential to upsell to existing advertisers and sponsors and it can be brand specific by country.

 

VuMe Distribution plan

 

VuMe Technology's ambitious global distribution plan represents a strategic initiative poised to significantly impact the Mobile TV broadcasting and social media industries. This comprehensive approach encompasses a range of key strategies aimed at expanding market reach, leveraging innovative technologies, and establishing pivotal partnerships.

 

In the realm of market expansion, VuMe is set to enter new global markets by collaborating with essential stakeholders, including telecom operators, content providers, and technology companies. Through these collaborations, the company aims to establish a robust and extensive distribution network that can effectively reach diverse audiences around the world. The emphasis on localized content delivery is a key component of this strategy, ensuring that the content provided is not only of high quality but also culturally relevant, resonating with the unique preferences of users in different regions.

 

Integral to VuMe's global distribution plan is the integration of cutting-edge technologies, such as augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR). This technological integration is designed to elevate user experiences within the Mobile TV broadcasting and social media realms. By providing an immersive and interactive content delivery platform, VuMe seeks to redefine industry standards and offer users a novel and engaging entertainment experience.

 

In the context of Mobile TV broadcasting, the impact of VuMe's global distribution plan is evident in the enhancement of user experiences. The provision of high-quality content, coupled with advanced features, sets VuMe apart. The strategy not only caters to a diverse audience but also transcends geographical barriers, making on-the-go entertainment accessible to users worldwide.

 

The social media industry, too, experiences a transformative impact with VuMe's global distribution plan. The introduction of opportunities for content monetization, coupled with interactive engagement through AR and VR technologies, positions VuMe as a catalyst for innovation. Additionally, the seamless integration across various social media platforms fosters a cohesive and dynamic content ecosystem, reinforcing VuMe Technology's role as a trailblazer in the convergence of entertainment and technology on a global scale.

 

In conclusion, VuMe Technology's global distribution plan is a comprehensive and forward-thinking strategy that not only expands market reach but also redefines the standards for user experiences in both Mobile TV broadcasting and social media. Through strategic partnerships, localized content delivery, and innovative technological integrations, VuMe is poised to leave a lasting impact on the entertainment landscape, offering users a dynamic and immersive content ecosystem that transcends geographical boundaries.

 

Mobile Device Viewer Market Expansion

 

In general, viewers are consuming more content via mobile TV distribution, while rapidly abandoning expensive subscriptions from standard satellite TV and cable networks. The rise of high-quality content on low-cost platforms, such as mobile devices, continues to negatively impact the standard TV industry. The media business is being forced to evolve and adjust to massive disruptions in content distribution methods. Traditional media models are functionally broken and will continue to be disrupted by technology, which is driven by the needs of the younger generation. The future of media is dependent on new technology platforms. These platform models (e.g. smart TV, connected TV boxes, mobile TV devices) are the future of content distribution. Google, through YouTube, has changed the face of video content distribution. Amazon continues to disrupt the book industry. Apple has redefined music and application distribution. And Microsoft is continuing to change the engagement model and distribution of content through its Xbox TV game console.

 

We believe mobile delivery has a growing appeal to advertisers and subscribers. As brands continue to shift budgets to mobile advertising, they must reassess their approach to customer acquisition to ensure they continue to reach potential customers effectively.

Once our planned SaaS media applications, smart phones and tablets are launched into the domestic and international markets, content analytics or marketing data will be gathered from these devices. The data generated from these applications and devices will give us an advantage insight into our subscribers viewing and buying habits. Once data has been scrubbed of personally identifying information, we plan to be able to create original or lease content from broadcast partners to service what our analytics are telling us to produce (or license), with the intent on moving us closer towards predictive analytics. Predictive analytics is being able to predict what our customer likes based on their viewing habits and then produce that content targeted to our subscriber and then “push” that new (or licensed) content to them.

 

Our differentiation from web streaming

 

We are not a website-based video streaming technology. VuMe is strictly a native mobile app focused on video streaming technology for mobile platforms. We are not a dashboard-based video content company where users upload content; we are a complete turnkey SaaS application. A survey released in May 2015, sponsored by Level 3 Communications, stated, “Offering both VOD and Live Linear channels will be critical for OTT providers to entice new prospects and gain market share. This trend is a critical one. For existing OTT providers, offering a VOD service may not be enough to maintain, much less grow, market share.” The trend towards adding live linear channel content has the potential to become “table stakes” in the OTT game over the next several years, with both breaking news and live sports content leading the way in terms of interest for OTT service providers adding live linear channels.

SaaS White Label

 

We plan to white label our suite of SaaS technologies for yearly licensing and monthly maintenance fees. The prospective user base for the SaaS White Label Suite is extensive as there are more than 200,000 TV broadcasters worldwide alone, and many of them are seeking to migrate to the vast mobile video streaming market space. The sizeable population of potential SaaS clients includes standard television broadcasters in every country, direct marketing companies, low-powered antenna broadcasters (such as universities and churches), IPTV broadcasters, and large content (film and TV) providers that are seeking to further monetize their properties for worldwide syndication.

 

The SaaS suite includes full app development on Apple iOS, Google Android and Roku connected boxes, user interface (menu system), advertising broker network for pre---roll commercial ads (from date of launch), 24/7 LIVE monitoring of inbound and outbound signals, data analytics, seamless updating to all platforms, Amazon web service (AWS) blade servers, and coverage up to the first 20 million streams. The white label product is offered to stand-alone.

 

User Interface

 

In a preprogrammed live linear broadcast application, viewers have free access via a playlist by category and have the ability to “catch--up” with what they may have missed in the LIVE broadcast, regardless of its original airdate. The video-on-demand (VOD) feature provides the opportunity to access additional viewers and monetize past content. After several years in development, we believe that VuMe has a significant first to market advantage and that no other companies currently have a comparable commercialized offering.

Our Plan for Strategic Partnering with Telecommunication & Media Companies

 

Currently in the world, viewers usually need to have a contract with a cable provider (e.g. AT&T, Cox, Xfinity, Spectrum, or Cablevision in the U.S.) or satellite TV provider (e.g. DirecTV and DISH Network in the U.S.) and be in range of a residential or business Wi-Fi to be able to watch over the top (OTT) content on a connected TV device, website or mobile access. VuMe is capable of offering a nearly unlimited number of channels to mobile users virtually anywhere and everywhere, with global reach, far exceeding two U.S. satellite companies (DirecTV and DISH Network), which have 500+ channels each and are only available in the U.S.

 

We believe VuMe will immediately appeal to any channel that is currently on DirecTV and DISH Network for global mobile linear broadcast participation, simply because these platforms are only available in the U.S. market.

 

VuMe can provide low-powered TV stations (often found in churches and universities), along with high--powered stations, the ability to reach the entire global market. Other potential users are owners of libraries of digitized content, and LIVE event venues such as music concerts, sporting events, festivals, beauty pageants, summer and winter Olympic Games, award shows, red carpet events, trade shows and conventions. Enthusiasts can produce their own show in any area and could launch their own channels for travel, food, spirits, sports, outdoor recreation, retro TV shows, children, cartoons, comedy, drama, reality, education, automobiles, health, corporations, shopping, soap opera, game shows, dating, religion, etc., providing extensive possibilities for media expansion. Content providers will not be limited by the major TV networks and film studios for distribution rights.

Our Corporate Information          

 

We are a Florida corporation. Our principal executive offices are located at 501 W. Broadway, Suite 800, San Diego, CA 92101, and our telephone number is (619) 400-4996. Our website address is http://www.tptglobaltech.com. Information on or accessed through our website is not incorporated into this prospectus and is not a part of this prospectus.

 

CYBER RISKS

 

Like other large telecommunications companies, we are a constant target of cyber-attacks of varying degrees, which has caused us to spend increasingly more time and money to deal with increasingly sophisticated attacks. Some of the attacks may result in security breaches, and we periodically notify our customers, our employees or the public of these breaches when necessary or appropriate. None of these resulting security breaches to date have materially adversely affected our business, results of operations or financial condition.

 

We rely on several other communications companies to provide services or products for our offerings. We may lease a significant portion of our core fiber network from our competitors and other third parties. Many of these leases will lapse in future years. Our future ability to provide services on the terms of our current offerings will depend in part upon our ability to renew or replace these leases, agreements and arrangements on terms substantially similar to those currently in effect.

 

For additional information regarding our systems, network, cyber risks, capital expenditure requirements and reliance upon third parties, see "Risk Factors."

General

 

We compete in a rapidly evolving and highly competitive market, and we expect intense competition to continue. In addition to competition from larger national telecommunications providers, we are facing increasing competition from several other sources, including cable and satellite companies, wireless providers, technology companies, cloud companies, broadband providers, device providers, resellers, sales agents and facilities-based providers using their own networks as well as those leasing parts of our network. Technological advances and regulatory and legislative changes have increased opportunities for a wide range of alternative communications service providers, which in turn have increased competitive pressures on our business. These alternate providers often face fewer regulations and have lower cost structures than we do. In addition, the communications industry has, in recent years, experienced substantial consolidation, and some of our competitors in one or more lines of our business are generally larger, have stronger brand names, have more financial and business resources and have broader service offerings than we currently do.

 

Wireless telephone services are a significant source of competition with our legacy carrier services. It is increasingly common for customers to completely forego use of traditional wireline phone service and instead rely solely on wireless service for voice services. We anticipate this trend will continue, particularly as our older customers are replaced over time with younger customers who are less accustomed to using traditional wireline voice services. Technological and regulatory developments in wireless services, Wi-Fi, and other wired and wireless technologies have contributed to the development of alternatives to traditional landline voice services. Moreover, the growing prevalence of electronic mail, text messaging, social networking and similar digital non-voice communications services continues to reduce the demand for traditional landline voice services. These factors have led to a long-term systemic decline in the number of our wireline voice service customers.

The Telecommunications Act of 1996, which obligates carriers to permit competitors to interconnect their facilities to the carrier's network and to take various other steps that are designed to promote competition, imposes several duties on a carrier if it receives a specific request from another entity which seeks to connect with or provide services using the carrier's network. In addition, each carrier is obligated to (i) negotiate interconnection agreements in good faith, (ii) provide nondiscriminatory "unbundled" access to all aspects of the carrier's network, (iii) offer resale of its telecommunications services at wholesale rates and (iv) permit competitors, on terms and conditions (including rates) that are just, reasonable and nondiscriminatory, to collocate their physical plant on the carrier's property, or provide virtual colocation if physical colocation is not practicable. Current FCC rules require carriers to lease a network element only in those situations where competing carriers genuinely would be impaired without access to such network elements, and where the unbundling would not interfere with the development of facilities-based competition.

 

As a result of these regulatory, consumer and technological developments, carriers also face competition from competitive local exchange carriers, or CLECs, particularly in densely populated areas. CLECs provide competing services through reselling a carrier’s local services, through use of a carrier's unbundled network elements or through their own facilities.

 

Technological developments have led to the development of new products and services that have reduced the demand for our traditional services, as noted above, or that compete with traditional carrier services. Technological improvements have enabled cable television companies to provide traditional circuit-switched telephone service over their cable networks, and several national cable companies have aggressively marketed these services. Similarly, companies providing VoIP services provide voice communication services over the Internet which compete with our traditional telephone service and our own VoIP services. In addition, demand for our broadband services could be adversely affected by advanced wireless data transmission technologies being deployed by wireless providers and by certain technologies permitting cable companies and other competitors to deliver faster average broadband transmission speeds than ours.

 

Similar to us, many cable, technology or other communications companies that previously offered a limited range of services are now offering diversified bundles of services, either through their own networks, reselling arrangements or joint ventures. As such, a growing number of companies are competing to serve the communications needs of the same customer base.  Such activities will continue to place downward pressure on the demand for and pricing of our services.

 

As customers increasingly demand high-speed connections for entertainment, communications and productivity, we expect the demands on our network will continue to increase over the next several years. To succeed, we must continue to invest in our networks or engage partners to ensure that they can deliver competitive services that meet these increasing bandwidth and speed requirements. In addition, network reliability and security are increasingly important competitive factors in our business.

 

Additional information about competitive pressures is located under the heading “Risk Factors.”

 

Competitors

 

In connection with providing strategic services to our business customers, which includes our small, medium and enterprise business, wholesale and governmental customers, we compete against other telecommunication providers, as well as other regional and national carriers, other data transport providers, cable companies, CLECs and other enterprises, some of whom are substantially larger than us. Competition is based on price, bandwidth, quality and speed of service, promotions and bundled offerings. In providing broadband services, we compete primarily with cable companies, wireless providers, technology companies and other broadband service providers. We face competition in Ethernet based services in the wholesale market from cable companies and fiber-based providers.  In regards to our medical division, we compete with other medical testing facilities and other companies developing SaaS technologies to test and monitor medical testing activities.

 

Our competitors for providing integrated data, broadband, voice services and other data and SaaS services to our business customers range from small to mid-sized businesses. Due to the size of some of these companies, our competitors may be able to offer more inexpensive solutions to our customers. To compete, we focus on providing sophisticated, secure and performance-driven services to our business customers through our infrastructure.

 

The number of companies providing business services has grown and increased competition for these services, particularly with respect to smaller business customers. Many of our competitors for strategic services are not subject to the same regulatory requirements as we are and therefore, they are able to avoid significant regulatory costs and obligations.

Government Regulation

 

Government regulations in the technology sector play a crucial role in shaping the operational landscape for companies like VuMe. These regulations typically focus on ensuring data privacy, securing consumer rights, managing competition, and upholding cybersecurity standards. Data protection laws, such as the GDPR in the European Union and various national laws in other countries, require companies to handle consumer data with utmost care, providing transparency about its use and granting users control over their personal information. This necessitates robust data management systems and regular compliance checks for companies operating internationally. Additionally, consumer protection regulations mandate that technology products meet certain safety and performance standards, often requiring rigorous testing and quality assurance processes. Antitrust laws are also significant, designed to prevent monopolistic practices and ensure fair competition in the market. These laws can affect company strategies, particularly regarding mergers, acquisitions, and market entry. Cybersecurity regulations are increasingly important, as companies are required to implement strong security measures to protect against data breaches and cyber threats. These regulations often evolve rapidly, responding to new technological developments and emerging security challenges. For companies like VuMe, navigating these government regulations is essential not only for legal compliance but also for maintaining consumer trust and a strong market reputation. Regular updates to compliance strategies and proactive engagement with regulatory developments are critical in this constantly changing regulatory landscape.

 

Overview

 

As discussed further below, our operations are subject to significant local, state, federal and foreign laws and regulations.

 

We are subject to the significant regulations by the FCC, which regulates interstate communications, and state utility commissions, which regulate intrastate communications. These agencies (i) issue rules to protect consumers and promote competition, (ii) set the rates that telecommunication companies charge each other for exchanging traffic, and (iii) have traditionally developed and administered support programs designed to subsidize the provision of services to high-cost rural areas. In most states, local voice service, switched and special access services and interconnection services are subject to price regulation, although the extent of regulation varies by type of service and geographic region. In addition, we are required to maintain licenses with the FCC and with state utility commissions. Laws and regulations in many states restrict the manner in which a licensed entity can interact with affiliates, transfer assets, issue debt and engage in other business activities. Many acquisitions and divestitures may require approval by the FCC and some state commissions. These agencies typically have the authority to withhold their approval, or to request or impose substantial conditions upon the transacting parties in connection with granting their approvals.

 

The following description discusses some of the major industry regulations that may affect our traditional operations, but numerous other regulations not discussed below could also impact us. Some legislation and regulations are currently the subject of judicial, legislative and administrative proceedings which could substantially change the manner in which the telecommunications industry operates and the amount of revenues we receive for our services.

 

Neither the outcome of these proceedings, nor their potential impact on us, can be predicted at this time. For additional information, see "Risk Factors."

 

The laws and regulations governing our affairs are quite complex and occasionally in conflict with each other. From time to time, we are fined for failing to meet applicable regulations or service requirements.

 

Federal Regulation

 

Federal regulation in the technology sector is an essential aspect that companies like VuMe must navigate meticulously. These regulations are primarily aimed at ensuring consumer protection, data privacy, cybersecurity, and fair competition. In the United States, federal bodies such as the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) play key roles in enforcing these regulations. The FCC oversees telecommunications, managing spectrum allocation and setting standards for communication devices, which is particularly relevant for companies dealing with mobile technologies and wireless communication. The FTC focuses on protecting consumer rights and preventing deceptive business practices, which includes overseeing advertising, marketing, and data privacy practices. Additionally, regulations like the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) impose specific requirements on companies handling children's data and health-related information, respectively. Cybersecurity is another critical area, with federal mandates requiring robust security measures to protect against data breaches and cyber threats, a concern that is increasingly paramount in the tech industry. Compliance with these federal regulations is not just a legal necessity but also crucial for maintaining consumer trust and a solid market reputation. Companies like VuMe must continuously monitor and adapt to these regulatory changes, incorporating them into their business operations and strategies to ensure compliance and protect their customer base.

General

 

We are required to comply with the Communications Act of 1934. Among other things, this law requires our local exchange carriers to offer various of our legacy services at just and reasonable rates and on non-discriminatory terms. The Telecommunications Act of 1996 materially amended the Communications Act of 1934, primarily to promote competition.

 

The FCC regulates interstate services we provide, including the special access charges we bill for wholesale network transmission and the interstate access charges that we bill to long-distance companies and other communications companies in connection with the origination and termination of interstate phone calls. Additionally, the FCC regulates a number of aspects of our business related to privacy, homeland security and network infrastructure, including our access to and use of local telephone numbers and our provision of emergency 911 services. The FCC has responsibility for maintaining and administering support programs designed to expand nationwide access to communications services (which are described further below), as well as other programs supporting service to low-income households, schools and libraries, and rural health care providers. Changes in the composition of the five members of the FCC or its Chairman can have significant impacts on the regulation of our business.

 

In recent years, our operations and those of other telecommunications carriers have been further impacted by legislation and regulation imposing additional obligations on us, particularly with regards to providing voice and broadband service, bolstering homeland security, increasing disaster recovery requirements, minimizing environmental impacts and enhancing privacy. These laws include the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act, and laws governing local telephone number portability and customer proprietary network information requirements. In addition, the FCC has heightened its focus on the reliability of emergency 911 services. The FCC has imposed fines on us and other companies for 911 outages and has adopted new compliance requirements for providing 911 service. We are incurring capital and operating expenses designed to comply with the FCC's new requirements and minimize future outages. All of these laws and regulations may cause us to incur additional costs and could impact our ability to compete effectively against companies not subject to the same regulations.

 

Over the past several years, the FCC has taken various actions and initiated certain proceedings designed to comprehensively evaluate the proper regulation of the provisions of data services to businesses. As part of its evaluation, the FCC has reviewed the rates, terms and conditions under which these services are provided. The FCC's proceedings remain pending, and their ultimate impact on us is currently unknown.

 

We are also regulated for our medical services activities. See discussion below.

 

Telephony Services

 

We operate traditional telecommunications services in our Arizona subsidiary, and those services are largely governed under rules established for CLECs under the Communications Act. The Communications Act entitles our CLEC subsidiary to certain rights, but as telecommunications carriers, it also subjects them to regulation by the FCC and the states. Their designation as telecommunications carriers also results in other regulations that may affect them and the services they offer.

 

Interconnection and Intercarrier Compensation 

 

The Communications Act requires telecommunications carriers to interconnect directly or indirectly with other telecommunications carriers. Under the FCC's intercarrier compensation rules, we are entitled, in some cases, to compensation from carriers when they use our network to terminate or originate calls and in other cases are required to compensate another carrier for using its network to originate or terminate traffic. The FCC and state regulatory commissions, including those in the states in which we operate, have adopted limits on the amounts of compensation that may be charged for certain types of traffic. As noted above, the FCC has determined that intercarrier compensation for all terminating traffic will be phased down over several years to a "bill-and-keep" regime, with no compensation between carriers for most terminating traffic by 2018 and is considering further reform that could reduce or eliminate compensation for originating traffic as well.

 

Universal Service

 

Our CLEC subsidiary is required to contribute to the Universal Service Fund (“USF”). The amount of universal service contribution required of us is based on a percentage of revenues earned from interstate and international services provided to end users. We allocate our end user revenues and remit payments to the universal service fund in accordance with FCC rules. The FCC has ruled that states may impose state universal service fees on CLEC telecommunications services.

 

 
64

Table of Contents

 

State Regulation

 

Our CLEC subsidiary telecommunications services are subject to regulation by state commissions in each state where we provide services. In order to provide our services, we must seek approval from the state regulatory commission or be registered to provide services in each state where we operate and may at times require local approval to construct facilities. Regulatory obligations vary from state to state and include some or all of the following requirements: filing tariffs (rates, terms and conditions); filing operational, financial, and customer service reports; seeking approval to transfer the assets or capital stock of the broadband communications company; seeking approval to issue stocks, bonds and other forms of indebtedness of the broadband communications company; reporting customer service and quality of service requirements; outage reporting; making contributions to state universal service support programs; paying regulatory and state Telecommunications Relay Service and E911 fees; geographic build-out; and other matters relating to competition.

 

Other Regulations 

 

Our CLEC subsidiary telecommunications services are subject to other FCC requirements, including protecting the use and disclosure of customer proprietary network information; meeting certain notice requirements in the event of service termination; compliance with disabilities access requirements; compliance with CALEA standards; outage reporting; and the payment of fees to fund local number portability administration and the North American Numbering Plan. As noted above, the FCC and states are examining whether new requirements are necessary to improve the resiliency of communications networks. Communications with our customers are also subject to FCC, FTC and state regulations on telemarketing and the sending of unsolicited commercial e-mail and fax messages, as well as additional privacy and data security requirements.

 

Broadband

 

Regulatory Classification.    Broadband Internet access services were traditionally classified by the FCC as "information services" for regulatory purposes, a type of service that is subject to a lesser degree of regulation than "telecommunications services." In 2015, the FCC reversed this determination and classified broadband Internet access services as "telecommunications services." This reclassification has subjected our broadband Internet access service to greater regulation, although the FCC did not apply all telecommunications service obligations to broadband Internet access service. The 2015 Order could have a material adverse impact on our business as it may justify additional FCC regulation or support efforts by States to justify additional regulation of broadband Internet access services. In December 2017, the FCC adopted an order that in large part reverses the 2015 Order and reestablishes the "information service" classification for broadband Internet access service. 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.

 

Net Neutrality, and Current Status. The 2015 Order also established a new "Open Internet" framework that expanded disclosure requirements on Internet service providers ("ISPs") such as cable companies, prohibited blocking, throttling, and paid prioritization of Internet traffic on the basis of the content, and imposed a "general conduct standard" that prohibits unreasonable interference with the ability of end users and edge providers to reach each other. The FCC's 2017 Order eliminates these rules except for certain disclosure requirements (see the official release summary from the FCC below). Additionally, Congress and some states are considering legislation that may codify "network neutrality" rules.

 

The Federal Communications Commission has made the following official release about the Restoring Internet Freedom Order:

 

"The FCC's Restoring Internet Freedom Order, which took effect on June 11, (2018) provides a framework for protecting an open Internet while paving the way for better, faster and cheaper Internet access for consumers. It replaces unnecessary, heavy-handed regulations that were developed way back in 1934 with strong consumer protections, increased transparency, and common-sense rules that will promote investment and broadband deployment. The FCC's framework for protecting Internet freedom has the following key parts:

 

1. Consumer Protection 

 

The Federal Trade Commission will police and take action against Internet service providers for anticompetitive acts or unfair and deceptive practices. The FTC is the nation's premier consumer protection agency, and until the FCC stripped it of jurisdiction over Internet service providers in 2015, the FTC protected consumers consistently across the Internet economy.

 

 
65

Table of Contents

 

2. Transparency 

 

A critical part of Internet openness involves Internet service providers being transparent about their business practices. That's why the FCC has imposed enhanced transparency requirements. Internet service providers must publicly disclose information regarding their network management practices, performance, and commercial terms of service. These disclosures must be made via a publicly available, easily accessible company website or through the FCC's website. This will discourage harmful practices and help regulators target any problematic conduct. These disclosures also support innovation, investment, and competition by ensuring that entrepreneurs and other small businesses have the technical information necessary to create and maintain online content, applications, services, and devices.

 

Internet Service Providers must clearly disclose their network management practices on their own web sites or with the FCC. For more information about these disclosures, you can visit https://www.fcc.gov/isp- disclosures.

 

Removes Unnecessary Regulations to Promote Broadband Investment

 

The Internet wasn't broken in 2015, when the previous FCC imposed 1930s-era regulations (known as "Title II") on Internet service providers. And ironically, these regulations made things worse by limiting investment in high-speed networks and slowing broadband deployment. Under Title II, broadband network investment dropped more than 5.6% -- the first time a decline has happened outside of a recession. The effect was particularly serious for smaller Internet service providers (fixed wireless companies, small-town cable operators, municipal broadband providers, electric cooperatives, and others) that don't have the resources or lawyers to navigate a thicket of complex rules...."

 

The items listed in this internet Order are for carriers such as Century Link, which is our contract internet provider, and we are in compliance with the areas that we are responsible for which are few. We generate the last mile of internet service, but we are actually a reseller of Century Link services as they provide the bandwidth to us.

 

Access for Persons with Disabilities. The FCC's rules require us to ensure that persons with disabilities have access to "advanced communications services" ("ACS"), such as electronic messaging and interoperable video conferencing. They also require that certain pay television programming delivered via Internet Protocol include closed captioning and require entities distributing such programming to end users to pass through such captions and identify programming that should be captioned.

 

Other Regulation. 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. In addition, our provision of Internet services also subjects us to the limitations on use and disclosure of user communications and records contained in the Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986. Broadband Internet access service is also subject to other federal and state privacy laws applicable to electronic communications.

 

Additionally, providers of broadband Internet access services must comply with CALEA, which requires providers to make their services and facilities accessible for law enforcement intercept requests. Various other federal and state laws apply to providers of services that are accessible through broadband Internet access service, including copyright laws, telemarketing laws, prohibitions on obscenity, and a ban on unsolicited commercial e-mail, and privacy and data security laws. Online content we provide is also subject to some of these laws.

 

Other forms of regulation of broadband Internet access service currently being considered by the FCC, Congress or state legislatures include consumer protection requirements, cyber security requirements, consumer service standards, requirements to contribute to universal service programs and requirements to protect personally identifiable customer data from theft. Pending and future legislation in this area could adversely affect our operations as an Internet service provider and our relationship with our Internet customers.

 

Additionally, from time to time the FCC and Congress have considered whether to subject broadband Internet access services to the federal Universal Service Fund ("USF") contribution requirements. Any contribution requirements adopted for Internet access services would impose significant new costs on our broadband Internet service. At the same time, the FCC is changing the manner in which Universal Service funds are distributed. By focusing on broadband and wireless deployment, rather than traditional telephone service, the changes could assist some of our competitors in more effectively competing with our service offerings.

 

VoIP Services

 

        We provide telephony services using VoIP technology ("interconnected VoIP"). The FCC has adopted several regulations for interconnected VoIP services, as have several states, especially as it relates to core customer and safety issues such as e911, local number portability, disability access, outage reporting, universal service contributions, and regulatory reporting requirements. The FCC has not, however, formally classified interconnected VoIP services as either information services or telecommunications services. In this vacuum, some states have asserted more expansive rights to regulate interconnected VoIP services, while others have adopted laws that bar the state commission from regulating VoIP service.

 

 
66

Table of Contents

 

Universal Service. Interconnected VoIP services must contribute to the USF used to subsidize communication services provided to low income households, to customers in rural and high cost areas, and to schools, libraries, and rural health care providers. The amount of universal service contribution required of interconnected VoIP service providers is based on a percentage of revenues earned from interstate and international services provided to end users. We allocate our end user revenues and remit payments to the universal service fund in accordance with FCC rules. The FCC has ruled that states may impose state universal service fees on interconnected VoIP providers.

 

Local Number Portability. The FCC requires interconnected VoIP service providers and their "numbering partners" to ensure that their customers have the ability to port their telephone numbers when changing providers. We also contribute to federal funds to meet the shared costs of local number portability and the costs of North American Numbering Plan Administration.

 

Intercarrier Compensation. In an October 2011 reform order and subsequent clarifying orders, the FCC revised the regime governing payments among providers of telephony services for the exchange of calls between and among different networks ("intercarrier compensation") to, among other things, explicitly include interconnected VoIP. In that Order, the FCC determined that intercarrier compensation for all terminating traffic, including VoIP traffic exchanged in TDM format, will be phased down over several years to a "bill-and-keep" regime, with no compensation between carriers for most terminating traffic by 2018. The FCC is considering further reform in this area, which could reduce or eliminate compensation for originating traffic as well.

 

Other Regulation. Interconnected VoIP service providers are required to provide enhanced 911 emergency services to their customers; protect customer proprietary network information from unauthorized disclosure to third parties; report to the FCC on service outages; comply with telemarketing regulations and other privacy and data security requirements; comply with disabilities access requirements and service discontinuance obligations; comply with call signaling requirements; and comply with CALEA standards. In August 2015, the FCC adopted new rules to improve the resiliency of the communications network. Under the new rules, providers of telephony services, including interconnected VoIP service providers, must make available eight hours of standby backup power for consumers to purchase at the point of sale. The rules also require that providers inform new and current customers about service limitations during power outages and steps that consumers can take to address those risks.

We have been named in a lawsuit by a collection law firm on behalf of Pinnacle Towers LLC and Crown Atlantic Company Inc., against TPT Global Tech, Inc. The claim derives from an outstanding debt by incurred by Copperhead Digital. The lawsuit is over unpaid rent that should have been paid by Copperhead Digital but was not paid. The Company believes it has several defenses to this claim and is in the process of communicating with opposing counsel for dismissal of the claims which amount to $386,030 plus interest, costs and attorney fees. The Company has accounted for approximately $600,000 in payables on its consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2023 for this subsidiary payable.

 

We have been named in a lawsuit by a collection law firm on behalf of American Tower and related entities, against TPT Global Tech, Inc. The claim derives from an outstanding debt or unpaid tower lease payments. The Company believes it has several defenses to this claim and is in the process of communicating with opposing counsel for dismissal or negotiation of the claims which amounts to $2,891,886, including payment due for all future tower payments not yet incurred under various tower lease agreements. The Company has accounted for approximately $2,938,347, in payables and operating lease liabilities on its consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2023 for this liability. Management does not believe any negative outcome to this lawsuit would amount to more than this.

 

In total, lawsuits are being threatened or have been put forth by vendors in relation to tower lease payments in accordance with tower lease agreements that were entered into. The claims are currently being investigated or negotiated and the amount in controversy being claimed is approximately $3,827,169, which the Company has accounted for $4,533,770 in its consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2023.

 

We have been named in lawsuits by three merchant debt companies, Mr. Advance, CLOUDFUND and Fox Capital versus TPT SpeedConnect and TPT for non-payment under the debt agreements for which the companies received judgements in the case of Mr. Advance and CLOUDFUND or a filed lawsuit in case of Fox Capital against the TPT SpeedConnect and TPT. The judgements and filed lawsuit in case of Fox Capital totaled $595,105, including legal and other fees for which the Company had $619,531 recorded in Debt Financing Agreements of which $87,065 was remitted to Mr. Advance during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 leaving an accrued balance of $532,466 as of September 30, 2023. We are in negotiations with these companies to restructure payment and work out acceptable terms. Management believes it will not have to pay more than what it has recorded in accounts payable.

 

We have been named in a lawsuit by AHS Staffing, LLC against TPT MedTech, LLC claiming unpayment of $159,959 in billings for medical staffing services rendered by AHS Staffing, LLC on behalf of TPT MedTech. The Company believes it has defenses for a portion of the services rendered but has recorded a payable in accounts payable in the consolidated balance sheet of $120,967. Management does not believe that an unfavorable outcome will result in payment of more than is recorded in accounts payable.

 

The Company has been named in a lawsuit, Robert Serrett vs. TruCom, Inc., 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. We learned that Mr. Serrett received a default judgement in Texas on May 15, 2018 for $70,650 plus $3,500 in attorney fees and 5% interest and court costs. However, he has made no attempt that we are aware of to obtain a sister state judgment in Arizona, where TruCom resides, or to try and enforce the judgement and collect. Management believes it has good and meritorious defenses and does not belief the outcome of the lawsuit will have any material effect on the financial position of the Company.

 

We are not currently involved in any litigation that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our company or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting our company, our common stock, any of our subsidiaries or of our companies or our subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect. We anticipate that we (including current and any future subsidiaries) will from time to time become subject to claims and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. It is not feasible to predict the outcome of any such proceedings and we cannot assure that their ultimate disposition will not have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

 

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and notes thereto included herein. In connection with, and because we desire to take advantage of, the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, we caution readers regarding certain forward-looking statements in the following discussion and elsewhere in this report and in any other statement made by, or on our behalf, whether or not in future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward-looking statements are statements not based on historical information and which relate to future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments. Forward looking statements are necessarily based upon estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control and many of which, with respect to future business decisions, are subject to change. These uncertainties and contingencies can affect actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by, or on our behalf. We disclaim any obligation to update forward-looking statements.

 

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 September 30, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit totaling $109,549,957. This raises substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

We generate revenues primarily through telecommunications and Internet services and as a provider of ecommerce and cloud solutions in the western United States.

 

Our plan of operations for the next 12 months is as follows:

 

Estimate of Liquidity and Capital Resource Needs

 

Product and technology engineering and development

 

$5,000,000

 

Equipment purchases

 

 

5,000,000

 

Repayment of short-term debt and other financing arrangements

 

 

9,000,000

 

Business development and business acquisitions

 

 

10,000,000

 

General working capital, investor relations, internal controls, and other human capital and other corporate purposes

Although the items set forth above indicate management’s present estimate of our liquidity and capital resource needs, we may have difference needs or utilize corporate liquidity and capital resources for other corporate purposes. Our actual use of liquidity and capital resources may vary from these estimates because of a number of factors, including whether we are successful in completing future acquisitions, whether we obtain additional funding, what other obligations have been incurred by us, the operating results of our initial acquisition activities, and whether we are able to operate profitably. If our need for liquidity and capital resources increases, we may seek additional funds through any financing opportunity available to us. There are no current commitments for any such financing opportunity, and there can be no assurance that these funds may be obtained in the future if the need arises.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2023 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2022

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized total revenues of $923,251 compared to the prior period of $2,052,817. The decrease is largely attributable to the decrease in internet customers from attrition and the discontinuance of unprofitable operating locations, and from the decrease in Blue Collar’s revenue from the writers and actor’s strike.

 

Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $183,738 compared to $361,278 for the prior period. The decrease is largely attributable to decreases in revenue. Gross profit (loss) percentage is 20% in the current period is comparable to the 18% in the prior period. There is no amortization in the current period from operating lease assets because of prior year write offs. 

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we incurred $1,418,430 in operating expenses compared to $1,626,737 for the prior period. The decrease was in large part attributable to no depreciation and amortization in the current period as a result of impairments taken at the end of 2022.  There were also decreases in payroll and professional fees from Blue Collar’s decreased activity from the writers and actor’s strike and fewer employees for TPT SpeedConnect offset by a provision for bad debt on TPT SpeedConnect receivables provided of approximately $370,000.

 

Derivative gains of $1,015,764 and $102,903 result from the accounting for derivative financial instruments during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 

The gain on debt extinguishment of $133,850 for the current period and $397,008 from the prior period results from the conversion of convertible debt to common stock and exchanges in the prior year of accounts payable, financing arrangements and lease agreement balances for Series E Preferred Stock.

 

Interest expense decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the prior period by $13,530. The two periods are comparable.

 

IST has been disclosed as discontinued operations.  The $126,101 and $107,639 represent the gain on disposal of discontinued operations and the net gain from the discontinued operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 of IST.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized a net loss of $491,288 from continuing operations versus $1,245,019 for the prior period. The difference mainly is activity in the prior period related to depreciation and amortization and decreases in margin and operating expenses explained above.

 

For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized total revenues of $3,007,866 compared to the prior period of $6,145,465. The decrease is largely attributable to the decrease in internet customers from attrition and the discontinuance of unprofitable operating locations, and from the decrease in Blue Collar’s revenue for the writers and actor’s strike.

 

Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $1,224,523 compared to $1,651,536 for the prior period.  The decrease is largely attributable to decreases in revenues for TPT SpeedConnect, TPT MedTech and Air Fitness. Gross profit percentage for the current period is 41% versus 27% for the prior period. There is no amortization in the current period from operating lease assets because of prior period write offs which helps improve margin percentage.

Table of Contents

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized $4,318,017 in operating expenses compared to $6,767,816 for the prior period. The decrease was in large part attributable to the research and development expense of $1,750,000 in the prior period from the acquisition of a software developed by a third party and decreases in depreciation and amortization resulting from impairments taken in the prior period offset by a provision for bad debt on TPT SpeedConnect receivables provided of approximately $370,000.

 

Derivative gains of $367,881 and $491,301 result from the accounting for derivative financial instruments during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 

The gain of $466,380 for the period ended September 30, 2023 and the loss on debt extinguishment of $1,970,030 for the prior period ended September 30, 2022 result from the exchange of accounts payable, financing arrangements and lease agreement balances for Series E Preferred Stock.

 

Interest expense decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the prior period by $3,365,136. The decrease comes largely from the amortization of debt discounts and default provisions on the Company’s derivative securities in the prior period.

 

IST has been disclosed as discontinued operations.  The $126,101 and $(557) represent the gain on disposition of IST and the loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from those operations.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we incurred a net loss of $3,219,152 from continuing operations compared to $11,352,944 for the prior period. The difference was largely from the loss on extinguishment of accounts payable, financing arrangements and lease agreement balances, interest expense from amortization of debt discounts and default accounting for derivative securities and depreciation and amortization in the prior year versus the current period.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

We incurred $3,093,608 and $11,352,944, respectively, in losses, and we used $442,135 and $263,313, respectively, in cash for operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. We calculate the net cash used by operating activities by decreasing, or increasing in case of gain, our let loss by those items that do not require the use of cash such as depreciation, amortization, research and development, derivative expense or gain, gain on extinguishment of debt and share-based compensation which totaled to a net $343,636 for 2023 and $7,704,624 for 2022. 

 

In addition, we report increases and reductions in liabilities as uses of cash and decreases assets and increases in liabilities as sources of cash, together referred to as changes in operating assets and liabilities.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we had a net change in our assets and liabilities of $2,303,246 primarily from an increase in accounts payable from lag of payments for accounts payable for cash flow considerations and increase in prepaid expenses.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 we had a net increase to our assets and liabilities of $3,385,007 for similar reasons.

 

Cash flows from financing activities were $382,505 and $(175,057) for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, these cash flows were generated from proceeds from convertible notes of $358,500 and other notes receivable - related parties of $139,931 offset by payment on convertible loans, advances and factoring agreements of $32,705 in cash used in discontinued operations.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, cash flows were generated from proceeds from convertible notes, loans and advances of $1,256,187 offset by payment on convertible loans, advances and factoring agreements of $1,391,580 and payments on amounts payable – related parties of $39,664.

 

Cash flows used in investing activities were $0 and $16,297, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 primarily related to the acquisition of property and equipment for 2022 and discontinued operations for 2023.

 

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.

 

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.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

For the Year Ended December 31, 2022 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2021

 

During the year ended December 31, 2022, we recognized total revenues of $7,309,997 compared to the prior period of $10,029,579. The decrease is largely attributable to the decrease in internet customers from attrition and the discontinuance of unprofitable operating locations. Decreases in MedTech revenue also occurred compared to the prior year from a decrease in operations.

 

Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $1,511,965 compared to $2,227,404 for the prior period. Gross margin percentage decreased from 22% to 20% largely as a result of the decrease in internet customers.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2022, we recognized $15,441,592 in operating expenses compared to $8,905,220 for the prior period. The increase was in large part attributable to the research and development expense of $1,750,000 in the current period from the acquisition of a software developed by a third party and impairments in the current period for goodwill and long-lived assets of $7,283,276.

 

Derivative expense the current period was $650,071 compared to $3,536,901 for the prior. This results from the accounting for derivative financial instruments and is largely dependent on the company’s common stock trading price.

 

The loss on debt extinguishment of $2,248,092 for the current period results from the exchange of accounts payable, financing arrangements and lease agreement balances for Series E Preferred Stock and shares of common stock, as well as, losses on conversions of derivative debt for common shares.

 

Interest expense increased for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the prior period by $2,118,253. The increase comes largely from the amortization of debt discounts and default provisions on the Company’s derivative securities.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2022, we recognized a net loss of $21,749,920 compared to $4,095,507 for the prior period. The difference was loss on debt conversions, increase on interest expense from debt discounts and default provisions, impairments in the current year slightly offset by the decrease in derivative expense.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company amended its series A Preferred Stock which resulted in a deemed dividend of $39,866,742 due to an increase in fair value of the Preferred A stock.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Cash flows generated from operating activities were not enough to support all working capital requirements for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. Financing activities described below have helped with working capital and other capital requirements.

 

We incurred $21,749,920 and $4,095,507, respectively, in losses, and we used $226,493 and $995,093, respectively, in cash for operations for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. We calculate the net cash used by operating activities by decreasing, or increasing in case of gain, our let loss by those items that do not require the use of cash such as depreciation, amortization, promissory note issued for research and development, note payable issued for legal fees, derivative expense or gain, gain on extinguishment of debt, loss on conversion of notes payable, impairment of goodwill and long-loved assts and share-based compensation which totaled to a net $16,746,502 for 2022 and $(1,170,451) for 2021.

Table of Contents

 

In addition, we report increases in assets and reductions in liabilities as uses of cash and deceases in assets and increases in liabilities as sources of cash, together referred to as changes in operating assets and liabilities.  For the year ended December 31, 2022, we had a net increase in our assets and liabilities of $4,776,925 primarily from an increase in accounts payable from lag of payments for accounts payable for cash flow considerations and an increase in the balances from our operating lease liabilities.  For the year ended December 31, 2021 we had a net increase to our assets and liabilities of $4,270,865 for similar reasons.

 

Cash flows from financing activities were $(180,525) and $1,169,810 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.  For the year ended December 30, 2022, these cash flows were generated from proceeds from convertible notes, loans and advances of $1,256,187 offset by payment on convertible loans, advances and factoring agreements of $1,391,580 and payments on convertible notes and amounts payable – related parties of $45,132.  For the year ended December 31, 2021, these cash flows were generated from the sale of Series D Preferred Stock, common stock subscriptions of $610,502, proceeds from convertible notes, loans and advances of $3,900,400 offset by payment on convertible loans, advances and factoring agreements of $3,502,592 and payments on convertible notes and amounts payable – related parties of $64,480.  

 

Cash flows provided by (used in) investing activities were $(22,747) and $324,040, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 primarily related to the acquisition of property and equipment and the purchase of IST.

  

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.

 

In December 2019, COVID-19 emerged and has subsequently spread worldwide. The World Health Organization has declared COVID-19 a pandemic resulting in federal, state and local governments and private entities mandating various restrictions, including travel restrictions, restrictions on public gatherings, stay at home orders and advisories and quarantining of people who may have been exposed to the virus. After close monitoring and responses and guidance from federal, state and local governments, in an effort to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, for a period of time, the Company closed certain offices, all of which have be subsequently reopened. The Company continues to monitor developments, including government requirements and recommendations at the national, state, and local level to evaluate possible extensions to all or part of such closures.

 

The Company has taken advantage of the stimulus offerings and received $1,402,700 in PPP loans. All of these PPP loans were forgiven in the year ended December 31, 2021. The Company is also in the process of trying to raise debt and equity financing, some of which may have to be used for working capital shortfalls if revenues continue to decline. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company entered into convertible promissory notes for a total of $744,260. Subsequent to December 31, 2022, the Company entered into convertible promissory notes for $81,675 and $330,000.

 

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.

TPT SpeedConnect: ISP and Telecom Revenue

 

TPT SpeedConnect is a rural Internet provider operating in 5 Midwestern States under the trade name SpeedConnect. TPT SC’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. There are no financing terms or variable transaction prices. Due date is detailed on monthly invoices distributed to customer. Services billed monthly in advance are deferred to the proper period as needed. Deferred revenue are contract liabilities for cash received before performance obligations for monthly services are satisfied. Deferred revenue for TPT SpeedConnect as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are $146,351 and $75,556, respectively. 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 two years or less, the impact of not recognizing installation fees over the contract is immaterial.

 

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. There are no financing terms or variable transaction prices.

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. 

 

Share-based Compensation

 

We are required to measure and recognize compensation expense for all share-based payment awards (including stock options) made to employees and directors based on estimated fair value. Compensation expense for equity-classified awards is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as an expense in earnings over the requisite service period.

 

We record compensation expense related to non-employees that are awarded stock in conjunction with selling goods or services and recognize compensation expenses over the vesting period of such awards.

 

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 2020, with early adoption permitted, including in interim periods. The ASU has been adopted using a modified-retrospective transition approach. The adoption was not considered to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

 

Income Taxes

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in our income tax provision in the period of enactment.

 

We recognize deferred tax assets to the extent that we believe that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations, including taxable income in carryback periods. If we determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, we would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce our income tax provision.

 

We account for uncertain tax positions using a “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold. We evaluate uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis and consider various factors, including, but not limited to, changes in tax law, the measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in tax returns, the effective settlement of matters subject to audit, new audit activity and changes in facts or circumstances related to a tax position.

 

It is our policy to record costs associated with interest and penalties related to tax in the selling, general and administrative line of the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill relates to amounts that arose in connection with our various business combinations and represents the difference between the purchase price and the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible net assets when accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Goodwill is not amortized, but it is subject to periodic review for impairment.

 

We test goodwill balances for impairment on an annual basis as of December 31st or whenever impairment indicators arise. We utilize several reporting units in evaluating goodwill for impairment using a quantitative assessment, which uses a combination of a guideline public company market-based approach and a discounted cash flow income-based approach. The quantitative assessment considers whether the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, in which case an impairment charge is recorded to the extent the reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value.

Intangible Assets

 

Our intangible assets consist primarily of customer relationships, developed technology, favorable leases, trademarks and the film library. The majority of our intangible assets were recorded in connection with our various business combinations. Our intangible assets are recorded at fair value at the time of their acquisition.  Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful life on a straight-line basis. Estimated useful lives are determined considering the period the assets are expected to contribute to future cash flows. We evaluate the recoverability of our intangible assets periodically and take into account events or circumstances that warrant revised estimates of useful lives or that indicate impairment exists. 

 

Business Acquisitions

 

Our business acquisitions have historically been made at prices above the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, resulting in goodwill or some identifiable intangible asset. Significant judgment is required in estimating the fair value of intangible assets and in assigning their respective useful lives. The fair value estimates are based on available historical information and on future expectations and assumptions deemed reasonable by management but are inherently uncertain.

 

We generally employ the income method to estimate the fair value of intangible assets, which is based on forecasts of the expected future cash flows attributable to the respective assets. Significant estimates and assumptions inherent in the valuations reflect a consideration of other marketplace participants and include the amount and timing of future cash flows (including expected growth rates and profitability), the underlying product life cycles, economic barriers to entry, a brand’s relative market position and the discount rate applied to the cash flows. Unanticipated market or macroeconomic events and circumstances may occur, which could affect the accuracy or validity of the estimates and assumptions.

 

Net assets acquired are recorded at their fair value and are subject to adjustment upon finalization of the fair value analysis.  

 

Long-Lived Assets 

 

We periodically review the carrying amount of our depreciable long-lived assets for impairment which include property and equipment, intangible assets and right of use assets. An asset is considered impaired when estimated future cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset. In the event the carrying amount of such asset is not considered recoverable, the asset is adjusted to its fair value. Fair value is generally determined based on discounted future cash flow. 

 

Leases

 

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 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. 

 

Research and Development

 

Our research and development programs focus on telecommunications products and services. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Any payments received from external parties to fund our research and development activities reduce the recorded research and development expenses.

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 the 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 for options and warrants and using the if-converted method for preferred stock and convertible notes. 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 September 30, 2023, the Company had shares that were potentially common stock equivalents as follows:

___________

 

(1)

Holder of the Series A Preferred Stock which is Stephen J. Thomas, is guaranteed 60% of outstanding common stock upon conversion. The Company would have to authorize additional shares for this to occur as only 4,500,000,000 shares were authorized as of September 30, 2023. 15,000,000,000 are authorized as of January 17, 2024.

 

 

 

 

(2)

Holders of the Series D Preferred Stock may decide after 12 months to convert to common stock @ 75% of the 30 day average market closing price (for previous 30 business days) divided into $5.00. There is also an automatic conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock without consent of holders upon any national exchange listing approval and the registration effectiveness of common stock underlying the conversion rights. The automatic conversion to common from Series D Preferred shall be @ 75% of the 30 day average market closing price (for previous 30 business days) divided into $5.00.

 

 

 

 

(3)

Holders of the Series E Preferred Stock may decide after 12 months to convert to common stock @ 75% of the 30 day average market closing price (for previous 30 business days) divided into $5.00. There is also an automatic conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock without consent of holders upon any national exchange listing approval and the registration effectiveness of common stock underlying the conversion rights. The automatic conversion to common from Series E Preferred shall be @ 75% of the 30 day average market closing price (for previous 30 business days) divided into $5.00.

 

In the event of default under some of the notes, the conversion rates change significantly, allowing certain noteholders to convert at a greater discount to the market, which results in amounts of issuable shares which cannot be determined at this time.  An estimate of the issuable shares is reflected below.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

Derivative financial instruments, as defined in ASC 815, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities”, consist of financial instruments or other contracts that contain a notional amount and one or more underlying (e.g. interest rate, security price or other variable), require no initial net investment and permit net settlement. Derivative financial instruments may be free-standing or embedded in other financial instruments. Further, derivative financial instruments are initially, and subsequently, measured at fair value and recorded as liabilities or, in rare instances, assets.

 

The Company does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to cash-flow, market or foreign-currency risks. However, the Company had issued financial instruments including convertible promissory notes payable with features during 2019 that were either (i) not afforded equity classification, (ii) embody risks not clearly and closely related to host contracts, or (iii) may be net-cash settled by the counterparty. As required by ASC 815, in certain instances, these instruments are required to be carried as derivative liabilities, at fair value, in our financial statements. 

 

The Company estimates the fair values of derivative financial instruments using the Monte Carlo model. Estimating fair values of derivative financial instruments requires the development of significant and subjective estimates (such as volatility, estimated life and interest rates) that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with related changes in internal and external market factors. In addition, option-based techniques are highly volatile and sensitive to changes in the trading market price of our common stock, which has a high-historical volatility. Since derivative financial instruments are initially and subsequently carried at fair values, the Company’s operating results will reflect the volatility in these estimate and assumption changes.

 

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 September 30, 2023, the Company marked to market the fair value of the debt derivatives and determined a fair value of $4,203,7882 ($4,093,369 from the convertible notes and $110,419 from warrants) in Note 5 (2) above. The Company recorded an expense from change in fair value of debt derivatives of $367,881 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. 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 133.5% to 191.5%, (3) weighted average risk-free interest rate of 4.80% to 5.50% (4) expected life of 0.50 to 3.58 years, and (5) the quoted market price of $0.001 for the Company’s common stock.

Conflicts of Interest – General.

 

Our directors and officers are, or may become, in their individual capacities, officers, directors, controlling shareholders and/or partners of other entities engaged in a variety of non-profit and for-profit organizations. Thus, there exist potential conflicts of interest including, among other things, time, efforts and corporation opportunity, involved in participation with such other business entities.

Conflicts of Interest – Corporate Opportunities

 

Presently no requirement contained in our Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, or minutes which requires our officers and directors to disclose 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 an affiliate, associate person or business opportunity from any affiliate or any client of any such person.

Family Relationships

 

Stephen J. Thomas, III, President, CEO and Chairman of the Board and Reginald Thomas, Director, are brothers.

 

Director Attendance at Meetings

 

Our board of directors conducts its business through meetings, both in person and telephonic, and by actions taken by written consent in lieu of meetings. During the year ended December 31, 2023, our board of directors held no meetings and acted through unanimous written consents 8 times. Our board of directors encourages all directors to attend our future annual meetings of stockholders unless it is not reasonably practicable for a director to do so.

 

Corporate Governance

 

Our business, property and affairs are managed by, or under the direction of, our Board, in accordance with the Florida Business Corporation Law and our by-laws. Members of the Board are kept informed of our business through discussions with the Chief Executive Officer and other key members of management, by reviewing materials provided to them by management.

 

We continue to review our corporate governance policies and practices by comparing our policies and practices with those suggested by various groups or authorities active in evaluating or setting best practices for corporate governance of public companies. Based on this review, we have adopted, and will continue to adopt, changes that the Board believes are the appropriate corporate governance policies and practices for our Company. We have adopted changes and will continue to adopt changes, as appropriate, to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and subsequent rule changes made by the SEC, and the listing rules of the NASDAQ Capital Market and any applicable securities exchange.

 

Director Qualifications and Diversity

 

The board seeks independent directors who represent a diversity of backgrounds and experiences that will enhance the quality of the board’s deliberations and decisions. Candidates shall have substantial experience with one or more publicly traded companies or shall have achieved a high level of distinction in their chosen fields. The board is particularly interested in maintaining a mix that includes individuals who are active or retired executive officers and senior executives, particularly those with experience in the finance and capital market industries.

 

In evaluating nominations to the board of directors, our board also looks for certain personal attributes, such as integrity, ability and willingness to apply sound and independent business judgment, comprehensive understanding of a director’s role in corporate governance, availability for meetings and consultation on Company matters, and the willingness to assume and carry out fiduciary responsibilities. Qualified candidates for membership on the board will be considered without regard to race, color, religion, sex, ancestry, national origin or disability.

 

Oversight of Risk Management

 

Risk is inherent with every business, and how well a business manages risk can ultimately determine its success. We face a number of risks, including economic risks, financial risks, legal and regulatory risks and others, such as the impact of competition. Management is responsible for the day-to-day management of the risks that we face, while our board, as a whole and through its committees, has responsibility for the oversight of risk management. In its risk oversight role, our board of directors is responsible for satisfying itself that the risk management processes designed and implemented by management are adequate and functioning as designed. Our board of directors assesses major risks facing our Company and options for their mitigation in order to promote our stockholders’ interests in the long-term health of our Company and our overall success and financial strength. A fundamental part of risk management is not only understanding the risks a company faces and what steps management is taking to manage those risks, but also understanding what level of risk is appropriate for us. The involvement of our full board of directors in the risk oversight process allows our board of directors to assess management’s appetite for risk and also determine what constitutes an appropriate level of risk for our Company. Our board of directors regularly includes agenda items at its meetings relating to its risk oversight role and meets with various members of management on a range of topics, including corporate governance and regulatory obligations, operations and significant transactions, risk management, insurance, pending and threatened litigation and significant commercial disputes.

Table of Contents

 

While our board of directors is ultimately responsible for risk oversight, we plan to establish various committees of our board of directors to oversee risk management in their respective areas and regularly report on their activities to our entire board of directors. In particular, the Audit Committee will have the primary responsibility for the oversight of financial risks facing our Company. The Audit Committee’s charter will provide that it will discuss our major financial risk exposures and the steps we have taken to monitor and control such exposures. Our board of directors will also delegate primary responsibility for the oversight of all executive compensation and our employee benefit programs to the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee will strive to create incentives that encourage a level of risk-taking behavior consistent with our business strategy.

 

We believe the division of risk management responsibilities described above is an effective approach for addressing the risks facing our Company and that our board’s leadership structure provides appropriate checks and balances against undue risk taking.

 

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

 

Our board of directors has adopted a code of ethical conduct that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and senior financial management. This code of ethical conduct is embodied within our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, which applies to all persons associated with our Company, including our directors, officers and employees (including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer and controller). In order to satisfy our disclosure requirements under the Exchange Act, we will disclose amendments to, or waivers of, certain provisions of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics relating to our chief executive officer, chief financial officer, chief accounting officer, controller or persons performing similar functions on our website promptly following the adoption of any such amendment or waiver. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics provides that any waivers of, or changes to, the code that apply to the Company’s executive officers or directors may be made only by the Audit Committee. In addition, the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics includes updated procedures for non-executive officer employees to seek waivers of the code.

 

Board Leadership Structure

 

In accordance with the Company's by-laws, the Chairman of the Board presides at all meetings of the board. Currently, the Chief Executive Officer is held by a person who is the Chairman. The Company has no fixed policy with respect to the separation of these titles.

 

Committees of our board of directors

 

Our board of directors has established and will delegate certain responsibilities to its Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, effective at the time that the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part becomes effective.

 

Audit Committee

 

We will have established a separately designated Audit Committee in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act, which will take effect at the time that the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part becomes effective. The Audit Committee’s primary duties and responsibilities include monitoring the integrity of our financial statements, monitoring the independence and performance of our external auditors, and monitoring our compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements. The functions of the Audit Committee also include reviewing periodically with our independent registered public accounting firm the performance of the services for which they are engaged, including reviewing the scope of the annual audit and its results, reviewing with management and the auditors the adequacy of our internal accounting controls, reviewing with management and the auditors the financial results prior to the filing of quarterly and annual reports, reviewing fees charged by our independent registered public accounting firm and reviewing any transactions between our Company and related parties. Our independent registered public accounting firm reports directly and is accountable solely to the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee has the sole authority to hire and fire the independent registered public accounting firm and is responsible for the oversight of the performance of their duties, including ensuring the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee also approves in advance the retention of, and all fees to be paid to, the independent registered public accounting firm. The rendering of any auditing services and all non-auditing services by the independent registered public accounting firm is subject to prior approval of the Audit Committee.

Table of Contents

 

The Audit Committee will operate under a written charter. The Audit Committee is required to be composed of directors who are independent under the rules of the SEC and the listing standards of the NASDAQ Stock Market. The SEC’s independence requirement provides that members of the Audit Committee may not accept directly or indirectly any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fee from us or any of our subsidiaries other than their directors’ compensation. In addition, under SEC rules, an Audit Committee member who is an affiliate of the issuer (other than through service as a director) cannot be deemed to be independent.

 

The members of the Audit Committee, who will take office at the time that the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part becomes effective, are  [●], the Chairperson of the Audit Committee, [●] and [●], [●] and [●] have been determined by the board of directors to be independent under the NASDAQ listing standards and rules adopted by the SEC applicable to audit committee members when they become directors. The board of directors has determined that Mr. [●] qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” under the rules adopted by the SEC and the Sarbanes Oxley Act. The term “Financial Expert” is defined under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 as a person who has the following attributes: an understanding of generally accepted accounting principles and financial statements; has the ability to assess the general application of such principles in connection with the accounting for estimates, accruals and reserves; experience preparing, auditing, analyzing or evaluating financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the company’s financial statements, or experience actively supervising one or more persons engaged in such activities; an understanding of internal controls and procedures for financial reporting; and an understanding of audit committee functions.

 

Compensation Committee

 

We will have established a separately designated Compensation Committee, which will take effect at the time that the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part becomes effective. The primary duties and responsibilities of the Compensation Committee are to review, modify and approve the overall compensation policies for the Company, including the compensation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and other senior management; establish and assess the adequacy of director compensation; and approve the adoption, amendment and termination of the Company’s stock option plans, pension and profit-sharing plans, bonus plans and similar programs. The Compensation Committee may delegate to one or more officers the authority to make grants of options and restricted stock to eligible individuals other than officers and directors, subject to certain limitations. Additionally, the Compensation Committee will have the authority to form subcommittees and to delegate authority to any such subcommittee. The Compensation Committee will also have the authority, in its sole discretion, to select, retain and obtain, at the expense of the Company, advice and assistance from internal or external legal, accounting or other advisors and consultants. Moreover, the Compensation Committee will have the sole authority to retain and terminate any compensation consultant to assist in the evaluation of director, Chief Executive Officer or senior executive compensation, including sole authority to approve such consultant’s reasonable fees and other retention terms, all at the Company’s expense.

 

The Compensation Committee will operate under a written charter. All members of the Compensation Committee must satisfy the independence requirements of NASDAQ applicable to Compensation Committee members. In determining the independence of members of the Compensation Committee, NASDAQ listing standards require our board of directors to consider certain factors, including, but not limited to:

 

·

the source of compensation of the director, including any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fee paid by us to the director; and

 

·

whether the director is affiliated with us, one of our subsidiaries or an affiliate of one of our subsidiaries.

 

Under our planned Compensation Committee Charter, members of the Compensation Committee also must qualify as “outside directors” for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and as “non-employee directors” for purposes of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act.

 

The Compensation Committee will consist of [●], [●] and [●], who will take office at the time that the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part becomes effective. Mr. [●] is the Chairperson of the Compensation Committee. Each of the Compensation Committee members has been determined by the board of directors to be independent under NASDAQ listing standards applicable to compensation committee members, outside directors under the Internal Revenue Code, and non-employee directors under Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

 

We will have established a separately designated Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, which will take effect at the time that the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part becomes effective. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee identifies, reviews and evaluates candidates to serve on the Board; reviews and assesses the performance of the board of directors and the committees of the Board; and assesses the independence of our directors. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is also responsible for reviewing the composition of the Board’s committees and making recommendations to the entire board of directors regarding the chairpersonship and membership of each committee. In addition, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for developing corporate governance principles and periodically reviewing and assessing such principles, as well as periodically reviewing the Company’s policy statements to determine their adherence to the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

 

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will operate under a written charter that identifies the procedures whereby Board of Director candidates are identified primarily through suggestions made by directors, management and stockholders of the Company. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider director nominees recommended by stockholders that are submitted in writing to the Company’s Corporate Secretary in a timely manner and which provide necessary biographical and business experience information regarding the nominee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not intend to alter the manner in which it evaluates candidates, including the criteria considered by the Nominating Committee, based on whether or not the candidate was recommended by a stockholder. The board of directors does not prescribe any minimum qualifications for director candidates, and all candidates for director will be evaluated based on their qualifications, diversity, age, skill and such other factors as deemed appropriate by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee given the current needs of the board of directors, the committees of the board of directors and the Company. Although the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not have a specific policy on diversity, it considers the criteria noted above in selecting nominees for directors, including members from diverse backgrounds who combine a broad spectrum of experience and expertise. Absent other factors which may be material to its evaluation of a candidate, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee expects to recommend to the board of directors for selection incumbent directors who express an interest in continuing to serve on the Board. Following its evaluation of a proposed director’s candidacy, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will make a recommendation as to whether the board of directors should nominate the proposed director candidate for election by the stockholders of the Company.

 

No member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may be an employee of the Company, and each member must satisfy the independence requirements of NASDAQ and the SEC, except that the committee may have one member who does not meet the Nasdaq independent standards if that committee member is not a current executive officer or employee of the Company or a family member of any current executive officer of the Company, and the Board determines, under exceptional and limited circumstances, that the director’s membership on the Committee is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders.

 

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consist of [●], who is the Chairperson of the committee,  [●] and [●] who will take office at the time that the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part becomes effective. Messrs. [●], [●] and [●] have been determined by the board of directors to be independent under NASDAQ listing standards.

Option/Warrant Grants In The Last Interim and Fiscal Year

 

On October 14, 2017, the Board of Directors and majority stockholders of TPT approved the 2017 TPT Global Tech, Inc. Stock Option and Award Incentive Plan (“the 2017 Plan.”) There are 20,000,000 shares of our common stock reserved under the 2017 Plan.

 

On February 1, 2024, by unanimous written consent, the Board of Directors and Majority Shareholder of TPT Global Tech, Inc. (the “Company”) approved and adopted an amendment and restatement of the 2024 TPT Global Tech, Inc. Stock Option, Compensation, and Award Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) to increase the maximum number of common shares, with a par value of $0.001 (“Common Shares”), available for grant to participants under the Plan to 3,500,000,000 Common Shares.

A company other than a Professional Services Company is NOT eligible and “Issuance for Compensation for Services” shall mean the issuance for valuable and adequate consideration determined by the Board as determined by performance pursuant to an agreement. This Plan amends and supersedes any and all prior Plans.

 

As of September 30, 2023, there were 129,116,666 warrants outstanding that expire in five years or in the years ended December 31, 2024 -2027.  As part of the Convertible Promissory Notes payable – third party issuance in Note 5, the Company issued 1,000,000 warrants to purchase 1,000,000 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 Convertible Promissory Notes, is declared effective on or before June 11, 2019 to September 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.  

 

On January 31, 2022, TPT Global Tech, Inc. issued warrants in conjunction with the issuance of Talos and Blue Lake Note Agreements.  Warrants to purchase 18,116,666 shares of common stock at $0.015 per share provided, however, that if the Company consummates an uplist offering on or before July 6, 2022 then the exercise price shall be 110% of the offering price at which the uplist offering is made.

 

The warrants issued under these convertible promissory notes were considered derivative liabilities valued at $110,419 of the total $4,203,788 derivative liabilities as of September 30, 2023. See Note 5.

 

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. 

 

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

The pre-closing percentages in the table have been calculated on the basis of treating as outstanding for a particular person, all shares of our capital stock outstanding on January 31, 2024. The post-closing percentages in the table have been calculated on the basis of treating as outstanding for a particular person, all shares of our capital stock outstanding on January 31, 2024, plus the assumed sale of 7,692,308 shares in this Offering and the exercise of the Representative’s over-allotment option in full to purchase 769,231 shares of common stock. On January 31, 2024, there were 2,687,746,022 shares of our common stock outstanding. To calculate a stockholder’s percentage of beneficial ownership, we include in the numerator and denominator the common stock outstanding and all shares of our common stock issuable to that person in the event of the exercise of outstanding warrants and other derivative securities owned by that person which are exercisable within 60 days of January 31, 2024. Common stock warrants and derivative securities held by other stockholders are disregarded in this calculation. Therefore, the denominator used in calculating beneficial ownership among our stockholders may differ. Unless we have indicated otherwise, each person named in the table has sole voting power and sole investment power for the shares listed opposite such person’s name.

Based upon 2,687,746,022 shares issued and outstanding as of January 31, 2024. Does not contemplate the Series A Preferred Stock held 100% by Stephen J. Thomas, III which guarantees the holder to 60% of the outstanding common stock in shares when converted and 60% of any vote prior to or after conversion. As of September 30, 2023, approximately 28,788,595,385 additional common shares would be issued if Mr. Thomas were to convert his Series A Preferred Stock holdings to common stock.  The Company would have to authorize more shares as there are only 15,000,000,000 shares authorized currently.

(3)

In August 2018, the Company added two new directors to the Board. Arkady Shkolnik and Reginald Thomas were added as members of the Board of Directors. The total members of the Board of Directors after this addition is four.  In accordance with agreements with the Company for his services as a director, Mr. Shkolnik received 5,000,000 shares of restricted common stock and Mr. Thomas received 1,000,000 shares of restricted common stock. Effective August 1, 2021, the Company added another director to the Board, John Wharton who is to receive 15,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company vested over two years.

Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 governs the determination of beneficial ownership of securities. That rule provides that a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who directly or indirectly has or shares voting power and/or investment power with respect to such security. Rule 13d-3 also provides that a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who has the right to acquire beneficial ownership of such security within sixty days, including through the exercise of any option, warrant or conversion of a security. Any securities not outstanding which are subject to such options, warrants or conversion privileges are deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage of outstanding securities of the class owned by such person. Those securities are not deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage of the class owned by any other person.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

 

The securities being registered and/or offered by this Prospectus are common shares.

 

Common Stock

 

We are presently authorized to issue fifteen billion (15,000,000,000) shares of our $0.001 par value common stock. A total of Two Billion, Six Hundred Eighty-Seven Million, Seven Hundred Forty-Six Thousand, Twenty-Two (2,687,746,022) common shares are issued and outstanding as of January 31, 2024.

 

Common Shares

 

All common shares are equal to each other with respect to voting, liquidation, and dividend rights. Special shareholders' meetings may be called by the officers or director, or upon the request of holders of at least one-tenth (1/10th) of the outstanding shares. Holders of shares are entitled to one vote at any shareholders' meeting for each share they own as of the record date fixed by the board of directors. There is no quorum requirement for shareholders' meetings. Therefore, a vote of the majority of the shares represented at a meeting will govern even if this is substantially less than a majority of the shares outstanding. Holders of shares are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available therefore, and upon liquidation are entitled to participate pro rata in a distribution of assets available for such a distribution to shareholders. There are no conversion, pre-emptive or other subscription rights or privileges with respect to any shares. Reference is made to our Articles of Incorporation and our By-Laws as well as to the applicable statutes of the State of Florida for a more complete description of the rights and liabilities of holders of shares. It should be noted that the board of directors without notice to the shareholders may amend the By-Laws. Our shares do not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than fifty percent (50%) of the shares voting for election of directors may elect all the directors if they choose to do so. In such event, the holders of the remaining shares aggregating less than fifty percent (50%) of the shares voting for election of directors may not be able to elect any director.

Preferred shares

 

As of January 31, 2024, we had authorized one hundred million (100,000,000) shares of Preferred Stock, of which certain shares had been designated as Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock.

 

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

 

The Company designated 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock as Series A Preferred Stock.  In February 2015, the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to Stephen Thomas, Chairman, CEO and President of the Company, valued at $3,117,000 for compensation expense. These shares are outstanding as of January 31, 2024.

 

The Series A Preferred Stock has a par value of $.001, is redeemable at the Company’s option at $100 per share, is senior to any other class or series of outstanding Preferred Stock or Common Stock and does not bear dividends. The Series A Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference immediately after any Senior Securities, as defined and amended, of an amount equal to amounts payable owing, including contingency amounts where Holders of the Series A have personally guaranteed obligations of the Company.

 

As of January 31, 2024, by amendment,  holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall, collectively have the right to convert all of their Series A Preferred Stock when conversion is elected into that number of shares of Common Stock of the Company, as amended and restated July 5, 2022 by the Board of Directors and a majority of the outstanding voting shares of the Company, determined by the following formula: 60% of the common shares computed to include all projected conversions of all convertible debt and any other classes of Preferred Stock as if the conversions had taken place at the stated conversion price per share (i.e. for the avoidance of doubt – “fully diluted” as if such conversion had occurred prior to the Series A conversion.) The Company determined that due to the significance of the amendment, it should be accounted for as an extinguishment and fair valued the amended Series A Preferred Stock at $42,983,742, creating a deemed dividend of $39,866,742. The valuation of the amended Series A Preferred Stock was done by a qualified independent third party.

 

The record Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall  have the right to vote as if converted prior to the vote to an amount of shares equal to 60% of the common shares computed to include all projected conversions of all convertible debt and any other classes of Preferred Stock as if the conversions had taken place at the stated conversion price per share (i.e. for the avoidance of doubt – “fully diluted” as if such conversion had occurred prior to the Series A conversion) on any matter with holders of Common Stock for any vote required to approve any action, which Florida law provides may or must be approved by vote or consent of the holders of other series of voting shares and the holders of Common Stock or the holders of other securities entitled to vote, if any.

 

The Series A Preferred Stock is classified as mezzanine equity as a result of the Company not having enough authorized common shares to be able to issue common shares upon their conversion.

 

Series B Convertible Preferred Stock

 

In February 2015, the Company designated 15,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.

The Series B Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference immediately after any Senior Securities, as defined and currently the Series A Preferred Stock, and of an amount equal to $2.00 per share. Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock have a right to convert all or any part of the Series B Preferred Shares and will receive and equal number of common shares at the conversion price of $2.00 per share. The Series B Preferred Stockholders have a right to vote on any matter with holders of Common Stock and shall have a number of votes equal to that number of Common Shares on a one to one basis.

 

There are 2,588,693 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding as of January 31, 2024.

Holders of the Series C Preferred Stock have a right to convert all or any part of the Series C Preferred Shares and will receive an equal number of common shares at the conversion price of $0.15 per share.

Warrants

 

As of January 31, 2024, there were 129,116,666 warrants outstanding that expire in five years or in the years ended December 31, 2024 -2027.  As part of the Convertible Promissory Notes payable – third party issuance in Note 5, the Company issued 1,000,000 warrants to purchase 1,000,000 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 Convertible Promissory Notes, is declared effective on or before June 11, 2019 to September 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.  

 

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company issued warrants in conjunction with the issuance of the FirstFire Note, the Cavalry Investment Note and the Cavalry Fund I Note agreements.  Warrants to purchase 110,000,000 shares of common stock at 110% of the opening price on the first day the Company trades on the Nasdaq exchange were issued to these note holders.

 

On January 31, 2022, TPT Global Tech, Inc. issued warrants in conjunction with the issuance of Talos and Blue Lake Note Agreements.  Warrants to purchase 18,116,666 shares of common stock at $0.015 per share provided, however, that if the Company consummates an uplist offering on or before July 6, 2022 then the exercise price shall be 110% of the offering price at which the uplist offering is made.

 

The warrants issued under these convertible promissory notes were considered derivative liabilities valued at $187,745 of the total $4,822,398 derivative liabilities as of December 31, 2022. See Note 5.

 

Effective October 14, 2017, we adopted the 2017 TPT Global Tech, Inc. Stock Option and Award Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan provides for grants of nonqualified stock options and other stock awards, including warrants, to designated employees, officers, directors, advisors and independent contractors. A maximum of 20,000,000 shares of our common stock were reserved for options and other stock awards under the Plan. We have the ability to issue either options or warrants under the Plan.

 

Transfer Agent

 

The transfer agent for our securities is Clear Trust, with offices at 16540 Pointe Village Dr., Suite 210, Lutz, Florida 33558, Phone (813) 235-4490.

 

Authorized but Unissued Shares

 

Our authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock and preferred stock will be available for future issuance without stockholder approval, except as may be required under the listing rules of any stock exchange on which our Common Stock is then listed. We may use additional shares for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital, corporate acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock and preferred stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

 

Penny Stock Considerations

 

Our shares will be “penny stocks” as that term is generally defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to mean equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 per share. Thus, our shares will be subject to rules that impose sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who engage in certain transactions involving a penny stock. Under the penny stock regulations, a broker-dealer selling a penny stock to anyone other than an established customer must make a special suitability determination regarding the purchaser and must receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the sale, unless the broker-dealer is otherwise exempt.

 

In addition, under the penny stock regulations, the broker-dealer is required to:

 

 

·

Deliver, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the penny stock market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt;

 

·

Disclose commissions payable to the broker-dealer and our registered representatives and current bid and offer quotations for the securities;

 

·

Send monthly statements disclosing recent price information pertaining to the penny stock held in a customer’s account, the account’s value, and information regarding the limited market in penny stocks; and

 

·

Make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction, prior to conducting any penny stock transaction in the customer’s account.

 

Because of these regulations, broker-dealers may encounter difficulties in their attempt to sell shares of our common stock, which may affect the ability of selling shareholders or other holders to sell their shares in the secondary market and have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market. These additional sales practice and disclosure requirements could impede the sale of our securities, if our securities become publicly traded. In addition, the liquidity for our securities may be decreased, with a corresponding decrease in the price of our securities. Our shares in all probability will be subject to such penny stock rules and our shareholders will, in all likelihood, find it difficult to sell their securities.

UNDERWRITING

 

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the placement agreement between us and the underwriters named below, for which [●]  is acting as the representative (the “representative”), we have entered into a  Letter of Intent for an underwritten offering, subject to market conditions by which, upon the completion of review by the SEC of this registration Statement, immediately prior to requesting effectiveness, and subject to the then prevailing market conditions, we shall enter into a firm  Underwriting Agreement with [●] under which we will agree to sell to the underwriters, and each underwriter has severally agreed to purchase, the number of shares listed next to its name in the following table:

 

Underwriter

 

Number of Shares

______________________, Inc.

 

7,692,308 @ $6.50/share

Overallotment

 

769,231 @ $6.50/share

Total

 

8,461,539

 

Under the terms of the agreement, the underwriters are committed to purchase all the shares offered by this prospectus if the underwriters buy any of such shares. The underwriters’ obligation to purchase the shares is subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, including, among others, the continued accuracy of representations and warranties made by us in the placement agreement, delivery of legal opinions and the absence of any material changes in our assets, business or prospects after the date of this prospectus.

 

The underwriters initially propose to offer our shares directly to the public at the public offering price set forth on the front cover page of this prospectus and to certain dealers at such offering price less a concession not to exceed $[●] per share. After the initial public offering of the shares, the offering price and other selling terms may be changed by the underwriters. Sales of units made outside the United States may be made by affiliates of certain of the underwriters.

 

Over-Allotment Option

 

We have granted to the underwriters an option, exercisable one time in whole or in part, not later than 45 days after the date of this prospectus, to purchase from us up to an (i) additional 769.231 shares of common stock at a price of $6.50 per share (10% of the shares of common stock and warrants included in the shares sold in this offering), in each case, less the placement discounts and commissions set forth on the cover of this prospectus in any combination thereof to cover over-allotments, if any. To the extent that the Representative exercises this option, each of the underwriters will become obligated, subject to conditions, to purchase approximately the same percentage of these additional shares of common stock and/or warrants as the number of shares to be purchased by it in the above table bears to the total number of shares offered by this prospectus. We will be obligated, pursuant to the option, to sell these additional shares of common stock to the underwriters to the extent the option is exercised. If any additional shares of common stock and/or warrants are purchased, the underwriters will offer the additional shares of common stock and/or warrants on the same terms as those on which the other shares are being offered hereunder. If this option is exercised in full, the total offering price to the public will be $[●] and the total net proceeds, before expenses and after the credit to the underwriting commissions described below, to us will be $[●].

 

Discounts and Commissions

 

The following table shows the per share and total placement discounts and commissions we will pay to the underwriters. These amounts are shown assuming both no exercise and full exercise of the over-allotment option we granted to the underwriters.

We have also agreed to reimburse the representative for accountable legal expenses incurred by the representative in connection with the offering, in an estimated amount of up to approximately $150,000, less the Retainer (as defined below). We have paid an expense deposit of $[●], to the representative, which will be applied against the actual accountable expenses that will be payable by us to the representative in connection with this offering.

 

We estimate that the total expenses of the offering payable by us, excluding placement discounts and commissions, will be approximately $250,000.

 

Underwriter Warrants

 

We anticipate issuing [●] warrants (the “Underwriter Warrants”) to purchase up to a total of 769,230 shares of common stock (10% of the shares of common stock sold in this offering) (excluding the exercise of the over-allotment option by the underwriters) . The Underwriter Warrants are exercisable 180 days after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part at $8.25 per share (110% of the estimated ave4rage public offering price per unit), but may not be transferred at any time prior to the date which is 180 days beginning on the date of commencement of sales of securities in connection with this offering and expiring on a date which is no more than five (5) years from the commencement of sales of the public offering in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1)(A). The Underwriter Warrants have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a 180-day lock-up pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e). [●] (or its respective permitted assignees under Rule 5110(e)(2)(B)) will not sell, transfer, assign, pledge, or hypothecate the Underwriter Warrants or the securities underlying such warrants, nor will they engage in any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of such warrants or the underlying securities for a period of 180 days following the date of commencement of sales pursuant to the offering. In addition, the Underwriter Warrants provide for “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to the shares underlying such warrants, exercisable in certain cases for a period of no more than seven (7) years from the effective date of the offering in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8)(D). We will bear all fees and expenses attendant to registering the securities issuable on exercise of the Underwriter Warrants other than underwriting commissions incurred and payable by the holders thereof. The exercise price and number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Underwriter Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, extraordinary cash dividend or our recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the exercise price of the Underwriter Warrants or the underlying shares of such warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of shares of common stock at a price below such warrants’ exercise price.

 

Stabilization

 

In accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act, the underwriters may engage in activities that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of our common stock, including short sales and purchases to cover positions created by short positions, stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions, penalty bids and passive market making.

 

·

Short positions involve sales by the underwriters of shares in excess of the number of shares the underwriters are obligated to purchase, which creates a syndicate short position. The short position may be either a covered short position or a naked short position. In a covered short position, the number of shares involved in the sales made by the underwriters in excess of the number of shares they are obligated to purchase is not greater than the number of shares that they may purchase by exercising their option to purchase additional shares. In a naked short position, the number of shares involved is greater than the number of shares in their option to purchase additional shares. The underwriters may close out any short position by either exercising their option to purchase additional shares or purchasing shares in the open market.

 

·

Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security as long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specific maximum price.

 

·

Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of our common stock in the open market after the distribution has been completed to cover syndicate short positions. In determining the source of shares to close out the short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase shares through the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares. If the underwriters sell more shares than could be covered by the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares, thereby creating a naked short position, the position can only be closed out by buying shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there could be downward pressure on the price of the shares in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering.

 

·

Penalty bids permit the representative to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the common stock originally sold by the syndicate member is purchased in a stabilizing or syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions.

 

·

In passive market making, market makers in our common stock who are underwriters or prospective underwriters may, subject to limitations, make bids for or purchase shares of our common stock until the time, if any, at which a stabilizing bid is made.

These activities may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our common stock or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our common stock. As a result of these activities, the price of our common stock and warrants may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market. These transactions may be effected on The Nasdaq Capital Market or otherwise and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

 

Neither we nor any of the underwriters make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of our common stock and warrants. In addition, neither we nor any of the underwriters make any representation that the representative will engage in these stabilizing transactions or that any transaction, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.

 

Indemnification

 

We and the underwriters have agreed to indemnify each other against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments the underwriters may be required to make in respect of such liabilities.

 

Discretionary Accounts

 

The underwriters have informed us that they do not expect to make sales to accounts over which they exercise discretionary authority in excess of 5% of the units being offered in this offering.

 

Determination of the Public Offering Price

 

Prior to this offering, there has been an active public market for our common stock as a penny stock and there has been no public market for our warrants. The public offering price of the units will be as determined through negotiations between us and the representative. In addition to prevailing market conditions, the factors considered in determining the public offering price included the following:

 

·

the information included in this prospectus and otherwise available to the representative;

 

·

the valuation multiples of publicly traded companies that the representative believes to be comparable to us;

 

·

our financial information;

 

·

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 since the reverse merger in 2014.

Significant Accounting Policies

 

Please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's most recent Form 10-K for all significant accounting policies of the Company, with the exception of those discussed below.

 

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 September 30, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023.

 

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2023, 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 those entities outlined in Nature of Operations giving consideration to the non-controlling interests where appropriate. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts presented in previously issued financial statements have been reclassified in these financial statements. As of December 31, 2022, advances to employees of $23,200 were previously classified as prepaid assets and other current assets versus the current classification of offsetting accrued payroll liabilities in accounts payable.

 

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We use the following criteria described below in more detail for each business unit:

 

Identify the contract with the customer.

Identify the performance obligations in the contract.

Determine the transaction price.

Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract.

Recognize revenue when or as we satisfy a performance obligation. lo

 

Reserves are recorded as a reduction in net sales and are not considered material to our consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. In addition, we invoice our customers for taxes assessed by governmental authorities such as sales tax and value added taxes, where applicable. We present these taxes on a net basis.

TPT SpeedConnect: ISP and Telecom Revenue

 

TPT SpeedConnect is a rural Internet provider operating in 5 Midwestern States under the trade name SpeedConnect. TPT SC’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. There are no financing terms or variable transaction prices. Due date is detailed on monthly invoices distributed to customer. Services billed monthly in advance are deferred to the proper period as needed. Deferred revenue are contract liabilities for cash received before performance obligations for monthly services are satisfied. Deferred revenue for TPT SpeedConnect as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are $146,351 and $75,556, respectively. 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 two years or less, the impact of not recognizing installation fees over the contract is immaterial.

 

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. There are no financing terms or variable transaction prices.

IST: Revenue and Cost Recognition

 

The Company recognizes construction contract revenue over time, as performance obligations are satisfied, due to the continuous transfer of control to the customer. Construction contracts are accounted for as a single unit of account (single performance obligation) and are not segmented between types of services. The Company recognizes revenue using the percentage-of-completion method, progress toward completion of the Company’s contracts is measured by the percentage of costs incurred to date to estimate total costs for each contract. The percentage-of-completion method (an input method) is the most faithful depiction of the Company’s performance because it directly measures the value of the services transferred to the customer.

 

Provisions are recognized in the statements of income for the full amount of estimated losses on uncompleted contracts whenever evidence indicates that the estimated cost of a contract exceeds its estimated total revenue. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. Profit incentives are included in revenues when their realization is reasonably assured. An amount equal to contract cost attributable to claims is included in revenues when realization is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated.

 

Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, repairs, and depreciation costs. Selling, general, and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred.

 

The accuracy of revenue and profit recognition in a given period depends on the accuracy of estimates of the cost to complete each project. Cost estimates for all significant projects use a detailed “bottom up” approach, and management believes that their experience allows them to create materially reliable estimates. There are a number of factors that can contribute to changes in estimates of contract cost and profitability. The most significant of these include:

 

 

·

the completeness and accuracy of the original bid;

 

·

costs associated with scope changes;

 

·

costs of labor and/or materials;

 

·

extended overhead and other costs due to owner, weather, and other delays;

 

·

subcontractor performance issues;

 

·

changes in productivity expectations;

 

·

site conditions that differ from those assumed in the original bid (to the extend contract remedies are unavailable);

 

·

the availability and skill level of workers in the geographic location of the project;

 

·

a change in the availability and proximity of equipment and materials; and

 

·

the ability to fully and promptly recover on claims for additional contract costs.

 

The foregoing factors, as well as the stage of completion of contracts in process and the mix of contracts at different margins, may cause fluctuations in gross profit between periods. Significant changes in cost estimates, particularly in larger, more complex projects have had, and can in future periods have, a significant effect on profitability.

 

Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings, represent unbilled amounts earned and reimbursable under contracts. These amounts become billable according to the contract terms, which usually consider the passage of time, achievement of milestones or completion of the project. Generally, such unbilled amounts will be billed and collected over the next twelve months. Based on historical experience, management generally considers the collection risk related to these amounts to be low. When events or conditions indicate that the amounts outstanding may become uncollectible, an allowance is estimated and recorded.

 

Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings, is comprised of cash collected from customers and billings to customers on contracts in advance of work performed, including advance payments negotiated as a contract condition. Generally, unearned project-related costs will be earned over the next twelve months.

Copperhead Digital: ISP and Telecom Revenue

 

Copperhead Digital operated as a regional internet and telecom services provider operating in Arizona under the trade name Trucom.  Although there are currently no customers and it will take capital to reopen this revenue stream, Copperhead Digital operated as a wireless telecommunications Internet Service Provider (“ISP”) facilitating both residential and commercial accounts. Copperhead Digital’s primary business model was subscription based, pre-paid monthly reoccurring revenues, from wireless delivered, high-speed internet connections. In addition, the company resold third-party satellite and DSL internet and IP telephony services. Revenue generated from sales of telecommunications services was recognized as the transaction with the customer is considered closed and the customer received and accepted the services that were the result of the transaction. There are no financing terms or variable transaction prices. Due date was detailed on monthly invoices distributed to customer. Services billed monthly in advance were deferred to the proper period as needed. Deferred revenue was contract liabilities for cash received before performance obligations for monthly services are satisfied. Certain of its products required specialized installation and equipment. For telecom products that included installation, if the installation met the criteria to be considered a separate element, product revenue was recognized upon delivery, and installation revenue was recognized when the installation was complete. The Installation Technician collected the signed quote containing terms and conditions when installing the site equipment at customer premises.

 

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

 

The overwhelming majority of revenue was recognized when transactions occurred. Since installation fees were generally small relative to the size of the overall contract and because most contracts were for a year or less, the impact of not recognizing installation fees over the contract was immaterial.

 

 

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 the 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 for options and warrants and using the if-converted method for preferred stock and convertible notes. 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 September 30, 2023, the Company had shares that were potentially common stock equivalents as follows:

Financial Instruments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Our primary financial instruments at September 30, 2023 consisted of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and debt. 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 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 September 30, 2023 are the following:

NOTE 2 – ACQUISITIONS

 

Agreement and Plan of Merger

 

An Agreement and Plan of Merger ("Agreement") was made and entered into as of March 24, 2023 by and among TPT SpeedConnect LLC, a Colorado Limited Liability Company (wholly-owned subsidiary of TPT Global Tech, Inc.) ("SPC"), and Asberry 22 Holdings, Inc., a Delaware Corporation ("ASHI"), and SPC Acquisition, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of ASHI, domiciled in Colorado ("Acquisition Sub") primarily for the opportunities of capital raising. SPC then converted to a Corporate entity and Acquisition Submerged with and into SPC (the "Merger"). The separate corporate existence of Acquisition Sub ceased and SPC continues as the surviving corporation in the Merger and as wholly-owned subsidiary of ASHI. All of the properties, rights and privileges, and power of SPC, vest in the Subsidiary, and all debts, liabilities and duties of SPC are the debts, liabilities and duties of the Subsidiary. The shares of common stock of Acquisition Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time is converted into and exchange for 1,000 validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Subsidiary's common stock.

 

TPT Global Tech, Inc. was issued a total of 4,658,318 common shares of ASHI (the "ASHI Common Stock"), as a result of the merger, constituting 86% of the then issued and outstanding common stock. TPT Global Tech, Inc. also has purchased all of the 500,000 Series A Super Majority Voting Preferred Shares of ASHI for a convertible note payable of $500,000 due in 180 days which bears interest at 6.0% per annum and is convertible to shares of the Company’s common stock at 85% of the volume weighted average price for the preceding 5 market trading days.

 

ASHI shall file a Form S-1 Registration Statement with the Securities Exchange Commission within 120 days after closing, to register for resale: a) the common shares of ASHI, issued at closing, b) conversion shares for the Series A Supermajority Preferred Stock and c) those outstanding shares of the shareholders of ASHI existing as of the day prior to closing, and shall pursue such S-1 filing diligently to effectiveness.

 

The Officers of ASHI shall resign effective upon the appointment of the new Officers, as designated by SPC. The Current Directors of ASHI shall remain as directors until the Series A Preferred Stock (500,000 shares) of ASHI shall have been redeemed or converted. SPC shall have designated two new directors for appointment effective at closing, and may then appoint new Officers, and the current officers shall resign at closing.

 

The Company evaluated this acquisition in accordance with ASC 805-10-55-4 to discern whether the assets and operations of the assets purchased met the definition of a business. The company concluded that there were not processes and sufficient inputs into outputs.  Accordingly, the Company accounted for this transaction as an asset acquisition and allocated the purchase price as follows: 

 

Consideration given at fair value:

 

 

 

Accounts payable

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN

 

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

 

We incurred $3,093,608 and $11,352,944, respectively, in losses, and we used $442,135 and $263,313, respectively, in cash for operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. We calculate the net cash used by operating activities by decreasing, or increasing in case of gain, our let loss by those items that do not require the use of cash such as depreciation, amortization, research and development, derivative expense or gain, gain on extinguishment of debt and share-based compensation which totaled to a net $343,636 for 2023 and $7,704,624 for 2022. 

 

In addition, we report increases and reductions in liabilities as uses of cash and decreases assets and increases in liabilities as sources of cash, together referred to as changes in operating assets and liabilities.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we had a net change in our assets and liabilities of $2,303,246 primarily from an increase in accounts payable from lag of payments for accounts payable for cash flow considerations and increase in prepaid expenses.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 we had a net increase to our assets and liabilities of $3,385,007 for similar reasons.

 

Cash flows from financing activities were $382,505 and $(175,057) for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, these cash flows were generated from proceeds from convertible notes of $358,500 and other notes receivable - related parties of $139,931 offset by payment on convertible loans, advances and factoring agreements of $83,221 and $32,705 in cash used in discontinued operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, cash flows were generated from proceeds from convertible notes, loans and advances of $1,256,187 offset by payment on convertible loans, advances and factoring agreements of $1,391,580 and payments on amounts payable – related parties of $39,664.

 

Cash flows used in investing activities were $0 and $16,297, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 primarily related to the acquisition of property and equipment for 2022 and discontinued operations for 2023.

 

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.

 

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.

The bank loan is collateralized by assets of the Company.  This loan may be considered in default as the Company did not make its payment of principal and interest on October 1, 2023.  The Company is in discussions with the bank to restructure this bank loan.

 

On June 4, 2019, the Company consummated a Securities Purchase Agreement with Odyssey Capital Funding, LLC. (“Odyssey”) for the purchase of a $525,000 Convertible Promissory Note (“Odyssey Convertible Promissory Note”). The Odyssey Convertible Promissory Note was due June 3, 2020, paid interest at the rate of 12% (24% default) per annum and gave the holder the right from time to time, and at any time during the period beginning six months from the issuance date 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.

NOTE 6 -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 September 30, 2023, in the amount of $4,203,788 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 September 30, 2023.

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 September 30, 2023, the Company marked to market the fair value of the debt derivatives and determined a fair value of $42,037,882 ($4,093,369 from the convertible notes and $110,419 from warrants) in Note 5 (2) above. The Company recorded an expense from change in fair value of debt derivatives of $367,881 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. 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 133.5% to 191.5%, (3) weighted average risk-free interest rate of 4.80% to 5.50% (4) expected life of 0.50 to 3.58 years, and (5) the quoted market price of $0.001 for the Company’s common stock.

NOTE 7 - STOCKHOLDERS' DEFICIT

 

Preferred Stock

 

As of September 30, 2023, we had authorized 100,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, of which certain shares had been designated as Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock.

 

All Preferred Stock is classified as mezzanine equity as a result of the Company not having enough authorized common shares to be able to issue common shares upon their conversion.

 

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

 

The Company designated 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock as Series A Preferred Stock. In February 2015, the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to Stephen Thomas, Chairman, CEO and President of the Company, valued at $3,117,000 for compensation expense. These shares are outstanding as of September 30, 2023.

 

The Series A Preferred Stock has a par value of $.001, is redeemable at the Company’s option at $100 per share, is senior to any other class or series of outstanding Preferred Stock or Common Stock and does not bear dividends. The Series A Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference immediately after any Senior Securities, as defined and amended, of an amount equal to amounts payable owing, including contingency amounts where Holders of the Series A have personally guaranteed obligations of the Company.

 

As of September 30, 2023, by amendment, holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall, collectively have the right to convert all of their Series A Preferred Stock when conversion is elected into that number of shares of Common Stock of the Company, as amended and restated July 5, 2022 by the Board of Directors and a majority of the outstanding voting shares of the Company, determined by the following formula: 60% of the common shares computed to include all projected conversions of all convertible debt and any other classes of Preferred Stock as if the conversions had taken place at the stated conversion price per share (i.e. for the avoidance of doubt – “fully diluted” as if such conversion had occurred prior to the Series A conversion.) The Company determined that due to the significance of the amendment, it should be accounted for as an extinguishment and fair valued the amended Series A Preferred Stock at $42,983,742, creating a deemed dividend of $39,866,742. The valuation of the amended Series A Preferred Stock was done by a qualified independent third party.

 

The record Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right to vote as if converted prior to the vote to an amount of shares equal to 60% of the common shares computed to include all projected conversions of all convertible debt and any other classes of Preferred Stock as if the conversions had taken place at the stated conversion price per share (i.e. for the avoidance of doubt – “fully diluted” as if such conversion had occurred prior to the Series A conversion) on any matter with holders of Common Stock for any vote required to approve any action, which Florida law provides may or must be approved by vote or consent of the holders of other series of voting shares and the holders of Common Stock or the holders of other securities entitled to vote, if any.

Operating lease obligations

 

The Company adopted Topic 842 on January 1, 2019. The Company elected to adopt this standard using the optional modified retrospective transition method and recognized a cumulative-effect adjustment to the consolidated balance sheet on the date of adoption. Comparative periods have not been restated. With the adoption of Topic 842, the Company’s consolidated balance sheet now contains the following line items: Operating lease right-of-use assets, Current portion of operating lease liabilities and Operating lease liabilities, net of current portion.

 

As all the existing leases subject to the new lease standard were previously classified as operating leases by the Company, they were similarly classified as operating leases under the new standard. The Company has determined that the identified operating leases did not contain non-lease components and require no further allocation of the total lease cost. Additionally, the agreements in place did not contain information to determine the rate implicit in the leases, so we used our estimated incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. Our weighted average discount rate is 10.0% and the weighted average lease term of 2.35 years.

 

We have various non-cancelable lease agreements for certain of our tower locations with original lease periods expiring between 2023 and 2044. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain we will exercise that option. Certain of the arrangements contain escalating rent payment provisions. An equipment lease described below and leases with an initial term of twelve months have not been recorded on the consolidated balance sheets. We recognize rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, operating lease right-of-use assets arising from operating leases were $0 and $0, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, cash paid for amounts included for the measurement of lease liabilities was $327,574 and the Company recorded lease expense in the amount of $617,916 in cost of sales.

 

The Company entered an operating agreement to lease colocation space for 5 years.  This operating agreement starts October 1, 2020 for $7,140 per month.  In addition, the Company entered into office space for Blue Collar which started April 2021 and runs for 3 years beginning at an average of $4,150 for the first six months, $8,300 for twelve months, $8,549 for the next twelve months and $8,805 for the following twelve months.  All other lease agreements for office space are under lease agreements for one year or less.

Management does not believe any negative outcome to this lawsuit would amount to more than this.

 

In total, lawsuits are being threatened or have been put forth by vendors in relation to tower lease payments in accordance with tower lease agreements that were entered into.  The claims are currently being investigated or negotiated and the amount in controversy being claimed is approximately $3,827,169, which the Company has accounted for $4,533,770 in its consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2023.

 

We have been named in lawsuits by three merchant debt companies, Mr. Advance, CLOUDFUND and Fox Capital versus TPT SpeedConnect and TPT for non-payment under the debt agreements for which the companies received judgements in the case of Mr. Advance and CLOUDFUND or a filed lawsuit in case of Fox Capital against the TPT SpeedConnect and TPT.  The judgements and filed lawsuit in case of Fox Capital totaled $595,105, including legal and other fees for which the Company had $619,531 recorded in Debt Financing Agreements of which $87,065 was remitted to Mr. Advance during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 leaving an accrued balance of $532,466 as of September 30, 2023.  We are in negotiations with these companies to restructure payment and work out acceptable terms.  Management believes it will not have to pay more than what it has recorded in accounts payable.

 

We have been named in a lawsuit by AHS Staffing, LLC against TPT MedTech, LLC claiming unpayment of $159,959 in billings for medical staffing services rendered by AHS Staffing, LLC on behalf of TPT MedTech. The Company believes it has defenses for a portion of the services rendered but has recorded a payable in accounts payable in the consolidated balance sheet of $120,967. Management does not believe that an unfavorable outcome will result in payment of more than is recorded in accounts payable.

 

The Company has been named in a lawsuit, Robert Serrett vs. TruCom, Inc., 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. We learned that Mr. Serrett received a default judgement in Texas on May 15, 2018 for $70,650 plus $3,500 in attorney fees and 5% interest and court costs.  However, he has made no attempt that we are aware of to obtain a sister state judgment in Arizona, where TruCom resides, or to try and enforce the judgement and collect.  Management believes it has good and meritorious defenses and does not belief the outcome of the lawsuit will have any material effect on the financial position of the Company.  

 

We are not currently involved in any litigation that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our company or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting our company, our common stock, any of our subsidiaries or of our companies or our subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect. We anticipate that we (including current and any future subsidiaries) will from time to time become subject to claims and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. It is not feasible to predict the outcome of any such proceedings and we cannot assure that their ultimate disposition will not have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

 

Customer Contingencies

 

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 these amounts. 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 September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Holder of the Series A Preferred Stock which is Stephen J. Thomas, is guaranteed 60% of the then outstanding common stock upon conversion. The Company would have to authorize additional shares for this to occur as only 4,500,000,000 shares were authorized as of September 30, 2023.

 

(2)

Holders of the Series D Preferred Stock may decide after 12 months to convert to common stock @ 75% of the 30 day average market closing price (for previous 30 business days) divided into $5.00. There is also an automatic conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock without consent of holders upon any national exchange listing approval and the registration effectiveness of common stock underlying the conversion rights. The automatic conversion to common from Series D Preferred shall be @ 75% of the 30 day average market closing price (for previous 30 business days) divided into $5.00.

 

(3)

Holders of the Series E Preferred Stock may decide after 12 months to convert to common stock @ 75% of the 30 day average market closing price (for previous 30 business days) divided into $5.00. There is also an automatic conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock without consent of holders upon any national exchange listing approval and the registration effectiveness of common stock underlying the conversion rights. The automatic conversion to common from Series E Preferred shall be @ 75% of the 30 day average market closing price (for previous 30 business days) divided into $5.00.

 

Part of the consideration in the acquisition of Aire Fitness was the issuance of 500,000 restricted common shares of the Company vesting and issuable after the common stock reaches at least a $1.00 per share closing price in trading.  To date, this has not occurred but may happen in the future upon which the Company will issue 500,000 common shares to the non-controlling interest owners of Aire Fitness.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of TPT Global Tech, Inc.:

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of TPT Global Tech, Inc. (“the Company”) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2022 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Explanatory Paragraph Regarding Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits.  We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks.  Such procedures included examining on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. 

 

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) related to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgements. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

 

Determination and Valuation of Derivative Liabilities

 

Critical Audit Matter Description

 

As described further in Note 6 of the consolidated financial statements, during the year ended December 31, 2022 and in prior periods, the Company issued convertible notes and warrants that required management to assess whether the conversion features of the convertible notes required bifurcation and separate valuation as a derivative liability and whether the warrants required accounting as derivative liabilities. The Company determined that the conversion features of certain of its convertible notes and certain warrants issued in financing arrangements required to be accounted for as derivative liabilities due to: (1) certain conversion features did not contain an explicit limit on the number of shares to be delivered in share settlement; and (2) the fact the Company could not assert it had sufficient authorized but unissued shares available to settle certain instruments considering all other stock-based commitments. The derivative liabilities were recorded at fair value when issued and subsequently re-measured to fair value upon settlement or at the end of each reporting period.  The Company utilized valuation models to determine the fair value of the derivative liabilities depending on the features embedded in the instruments.  These models use certain assumptions related to exercise price, term, expected volatility, and risk-free interest rate.

We identified auditing the determination and valuation of the derivative liabilities as a critical audit matter due to the significant judgements used by the Company in determining whether the embedded conversion features and warrants required derivative accounting treatment and the significant judgements used in determining the fair value of the derivative liabilities. Auditing the determination and valuation of the derivative liabilities involved a high degree of auditor judgement, and specialized skills and knowledge were needed.

 

How the Critical Audit Matter was Addressed in the Audit

 

Our audit procedures related to the following:

 

 

·

We inspected and reviewed debt agreements, warrant agreements, conversion notices, and settlement agreements to evaluate the Company’s determination of whether derivative accounting was required, including assessing and evaluating management’s application of relevant accounting standards to such transactions.

 

 

 

 

·

We evaluated the reasonableness and appropriateness of the choice of valuation model used for each specific derivative instrument.

 

 

 

 

·

We tested the reasonableness of the assumptions used by the Company in the valuation models, including exercise price, term, expected volatility, and risk-free interest rate.

 

 

 

 

·

We tested the accuracy and completeness of data used by the Company in developing the assumptions used in the valuation models.

 

 

 

 

·

We developed an independent expectation for comparison to the Company’s estimate, which included developing our own valuation model and assumptions.

 

 

 

 

·

Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were utilized by the Firm to assist in the evaluation of the valuation models deployed by management.

 

Modification of Series A Preferred Stock

 

Critical Audit Matter Description

 

As described further in Note 8 of the consolidated financial statements, during the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company modified previously issued 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock.  The modification consisted of amending the conversion feature so that the 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible into 60% of the Company’s common shares including presumed hypothetical of conversion of all convertible debt and any other classes of preferred stock outstanding at such time of conversion. In addition, the voting rights of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be determined using the same formula. The Company accounted for this modification as an extinguishment, determined the fair value of the Series A Preferred Stock was $42,983,742 and recognized a deemed dividend of $39,866,742. The Company utilized a Monte Carlo based valuation model to determine the fair value of the Series A Preferred Stock. 

 

We identified auditing the determination of the appropriate accounting and valuation of the modified Series A Preferred Stock as a critical audit matter due to the significant judgements used by the Company in determining the appropriate accounting and fair value. Auditing the accounting determination and valuation involved a high degree of auditor judgement, and specialized skills and knowledge were needed.

Valuation of Series E Preferred Stock

 

Critical Audit Matter Description

 

As described further in Note 8 of the consolidated financial statements, during the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company issued Series E Preferred Stock to settle certain liabilities.  The Company recognized the Series E Preferred Stock at its fair value of $13,344,101 which resulted in a loss on extinguishment of liabilities of $10,987,307. The Company utilized a Monte Carlo based valuation model to determine the fair value of the Series E Preferred Stock.

 

We identified auditing the valuation of the modified Series E Preferred Stock as a critical audit matter due to the significant judgements used by the Company in determining the fair value of the instrument. Auditing the accounting determination and valuation involved a high degree of auditor judgement, and specialized skills and knowledge were needed.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

Our consolidated financial statements include the wholly-owned accounts, as well as, non-controlling interests where appropriate.  All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

 

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.

 

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts presented in previously issued financial statements have been reclassified in these financial statements. During 2021, amounts receivable from related parties of $75,094 previously classified as Prepaid expenses and other current assets was reclassified as Accounts receivable – related party.

 

 

Revenue Recognition

 

 We use following criteria described below in more detail for each business unit:

 

Identify the contract with the customer.

Identify the performance obligations in the contract.

Determine the transaction price.

Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract.

Recognize revenue when or as we satisfy a performance obligation. 

 

Reserves are recorded as a reduction in net sales and are not considered material to our consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. In addition, we invoice our customers for taxes assessed by governmental authorities such as sales tax and value added taxes, where applicable. We present these taxes on a net basis.

 

The Company’s revenue generation for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 came from the following sources disaggregated by services and products, which sources are explained in detail below.

TPT SpeedConnect: ISP and Telecom Revenue

 

TPT SpeedConnect is a rural Internet provider operating in 5 Midwestern States under the trade name SpeedConnect. TPT SC’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. There are no financing terms or variable transaction prices. Due date is detailed on monthly invoices distributed to customer. Services billed monthly in advance are deferred to the proper period as needed. Deferred revenue are contract liabilities for cash received before performance obligations for monthly services are satisfied. Deferred revenue for TPT SpeedConnect at December 31, 2022 and 2021 are $75,556 and $421,643, respectively. 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 two years or less, the impact of not recognizing installation fees over the contract is immaterial.

 

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. There are no financing terms or variable transaction prices.

 

IST: Revenue and Cost Recognition

 

The Company recognizes construction contract revenue over time, as performance obligations are satisfied, due to the continuous transfer of control to the customer. Construction contracts are accounted for as a single unit of account (single performance obligation) and are not segmented between types of services. The Company recognizes revenue using the percentage-of-completion method, progress toward completion of the Company’s contracts is measured by the percentage of costs incurred to date to estimate total costs for each contract. The percentage-of-completion method (an input method) is the most faithful depiction of the Company’s performance because it directly measures the value of the services transferred to the customer.

 

Provisions are recognized in the statements of income for the full amount of estimated losses on uncompleted contracts whenever evidence indicates that the estimated cost of a contract exceeds its estimated total revenue. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. Profit incentives are included in revenues when their realization is reasonably assured. An amount equal to contract cost attributable to claims is included in revenues when realization is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated.

 

Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, repairs, and depreciation costs. Selling, general, and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred.

The accuracy of revenue and profit recognition in a given period depends on the accuracy of estimates of the cost to complete each project. Cost estimates for all significant projects use a detailed “bottom up” approach, and management believes that their experience allows them to create materially reliable estimates. There are a number of factors that can contribute to changes in estimates of contract cost and profitability. The most significant of these include:

 

 

·

the completeness and accuracy of the original bid;

 

·

costs associated with scope changes;

 

·

costs of labor and/or materials;

 

·

extended overhead and other costs due to owner, weather, and other delays;

 

·

subcontractor performance issues;

 

·

changes in productivity expectations;

 

·

site conditions that differ from those assumed in the original bid (to the extend contract remedies are unavailable);

 

·

the availability and skill level of workers in the geographic location of the project;

 

·

a change in the availability and proximity of equipment and materials; and

 

·

the ability to fully and promptly recover on claims for additional contract costs.

 

The foregoing factors, as well as the stage of completion of contracts in process and the mix of contracts at different margins, may cause fluctuations in gross profit between periods. Significant changes in cost estimates, particularly in larger, more complex projects have had, and can in future periods have, a significant effect on profitability.

 

Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings, represent unbilled amounts earned and reimbursable under contracts. These amounts become billable according to the contract terms, which usually consider the passage of time, achievement of milestones or completion of the project. Generally, such unbilled amounts will be billed and collected over the next twelve months. Based on historical experience, management generally considers the collection risk related to these amounts to be low. When events or conditions indicate that the amounts outstanding may become uncollectible, an allowance is estimated and recorded.

 

Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings, is comprised of cash collected from customers and billings to customers on contracts in advance of work performed, including advance payments negotiated as a contract condition. Generally, unearned project-related costs will be earned over the next twelve months.

 

TPT MedTech: Medical Testing Revenue

 

TPT MedTech operates in the Point of Care Testing (“POCT”) market by primarily offering mobile medical testing facilities and software equipped for mobile devices to monitor and manage personalized healthcare.  Services used from our mobile medical testing facilities are billing through credit cards at the time of service.  Revenue is generated from our software platform as users sign up for our mobile healthcare monitor and management application and tests are performed.  If medical testing is in one our own owned facility, the usage of the software application is included in the testing fees.  If the testing is in a non-owned outside contracted facility, fees are generated from the usage of the software application on a per test basis and billed monthly.

 

TPT MedTech also offers various products.  One is to build and sell its mobile testing facilities called QuikLABs designed for mobile testing.  This is used by TPT MedTech for its own testing services.  Another is to build customized mobile gyms for exercising.  This is sold to third parties.  Another is medical equipment, one of which is a sanitizing unit called SANIQuik which is used as a safe and flexible way to sanitize providing an additional routine to hand washing and facial coverings.  The SANIQuik has not yet been approved for sale in the United States but has in some parts of the European community.  Revenues from these products are recognized when a product is delivered, the sales transaction considered closed and accepted by a customer.  When deposits are received for which a product has not been delivered, it is recognized as deferred revenue.  Deferred revenue as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $0 and $41,000, respectively. There are no financing terms or variable transaction prices for either of these products.

 

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. There are no financing terms or variable transaction prices. 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. There is no deferred revenue at December 31, 2022 and 2021. 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. There are usually no contract revenues that are deferred until services are performed.

 

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. There are no financing terms or variable transaction prices.

Copperhead Digital: ISP and Telecom Revenue

 

Copperhead Digital operated as a regional internet and telecom services provider operating in Arizona under the trade name Trucom.  Although there are currently no customers and it will take capital to reopen this revenue stream, Copperhead Digital operated as a wireless telecommunications Internet Service Provider (“ISP”) facilitating both residential and commercial accounts. Copperhead Digital’s primary business model was subscription based, pre-paid monthly reoccurring revenues, from wireless delivered, high-speed internet connections. In addition, the company resold third-party satellite and DSL internet and IP telephony services. Revenue generated from sales of telecommunications services was recognized as the transaction with the customer is considered closed and the customer received and accepted the services that were the result of the transaction. There are no financing terms or variable transaction prices. Due date was detailed on monthly invoices distributed to customer. Services billed monthly in advance were deferred to the proper period as needed. Deferred revenue was contract liabilities for cash received before performance obligations for monthly services are satisfied. Certain of its products required specialized installation and equipment. For telecom products that included installation, if the installation met the criteria to be considered a separate element, product revenue was recognized upon delivery, and installation revenue was recognized when the installation was complete. The Installation Technician collected the signed quote containing terms and conditions when installing the site equipment at customer premises.

 

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

 

The overwhelming majority of revenue was recognized when transactions occurred. Since installation fees were generally small relative to the size of the overall contract and because most contracts were for a year or less, the impact of not recognizing installation fees over the contract was immaterial.

 

 

Cost of Sales

 

Cost of sales includes all of the costs and expenses directly related to the production of goods and services included in revenues.

 

 

Share-based Compensation

 

The Company is required to measure and recognize compensation expense for all share-based payment awards (including stock options) made to employees and directors based on estimated fair value. Compensation expense for equity-classified awards is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as an expense in earnings over the requisite service period.

 

The Company records compensation expense related to non-employees that are awarded stock in conjunction with selling goods or services and recognizes compensation expenses over the vesting period of such awards.

 

 

Income Taxes

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in our income tax provision in the period of enactment.

 

We recognize deferred tax assets to the extent that we believe that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations, including taxable income in carryback periods. If we determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, we would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce our income tax provision.

 

We account for uncertain tax positions using a “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold. We evaluate uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis and consider various factors, including, but not limited to, changes in tax law, the measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in tax returns, the effective settlement of matters subject to audit, new audit activity and changes in facts or circumstances related to a tax position.

 

It is our policy to record costs associated with interest and penalties related to tax in the selling, general and administrative line of the consolidated statements of operations.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all investments with a maturity date of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. There are no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.

 

 

Accounts and Notes Receivable

 

We establish an allowance for potential uncollectible accounts and notes receivable. All accounts and notes receivable 60 days past due are considered uncollectible unless there are circumstances that support collectability. Those circumstances are documented. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the allowance for uncollectible accounts and notes receivable was $446,551 and $225,000, respectively. Receivables are charged off when collection efforts cease.

 

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost or fair value if acquired as part of a business combination. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method and is charged to operations over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. The carrying amount of accumulated depreciation of assets sold or retired are removed from the accounts in the year of disposal and any resulting gain or loss in s included in results of operations. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are telecommunications network - 5 years, telecommunications equipment - 7 to 10 years, and computers and office equipment - 3 years.

 

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill relates to amounts that arose in connection with our various business combinations and represents the difference between the purchase price and the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible net assets when accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Goodwill is not amortized, but it is subject to periodic review for impairment.

 

We test goodwill balances for impairment on an annual basis as of December 31st or whenever impairment indicators arise. We utilize several reporting units in evaluating goodwill for impairment using a quantitative assessment, which uses a combination of a guideline public company market-based approach and a discounted cash flow income-based approach. The quantitative assessment considers whether the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, in which case an impairment charge is recorded to the extent the reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value. Based on our impairment testing, we recorded impairment charges of $104,657 and $663,434 of goodwill during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

 

 

Intangible Assets

 

Our intangible assets consist primarily of customer relationships, developed technology, favorable leases, trademarks and the film library. The majority of our intangible assets were recorded in connection with our various business combinations. Our intangible assets are recorded at fair value at the time of their acquisition.  Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful life on a straight-line basis. Estimated useful lives are determined considering the period the assets are expected to contribute to future cash flows. We evaluate the recoverability of our intangible assets periodically and take into account events or circumstances that warrant revised estimates of useful lives or that indicate impairment exists. Based on our recoverability testing, we recorded impairment charges of $3,000,013 and $330,508 during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

 

 

Business Acquisitions

 

Our business acquisitions have historically been made at prices above the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, resulting in goodwill or some identifiable intangible asset. Significant judgment is required in estimating the fair value of intangible assets and in assigning their respective useful lives. The fair value estimates are based on available historical information and on future expectations and assumptions deemed reasonable by management but are inherently uncertain.

 

We generally employ the income method to estimate the fair value of intangible assets, which is based on forecasts of the expected future cash flows attributable to the respective assets. Significant estimates and assumptions inherent in the valuations reflect a consideration of other marketplace participants and include the amount and timing of future cash flows (including expected growth rates and profitability), the underlying product life cycles, economic barriers to entry, a brand’s relative market position and the discount rate applied to the cash flows. Unanticipated market or macroeconomic events and circumstances may occur, which could affect the accuracy or validity of the estimates and assumptions.

 

Net assets acquired are recorded at their fair value and are subject to adjustment upon finalization of the fair value analysis.

Long-Lived Assets 

 

We periodically review the carrying amount of our depreciable long-lived assets for impairment which include property and equipment, intangible assets and right of use assets. An asset is considered impaired when estimated future cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset. In the event the carrying amount of such asset is not considered recoverable, the asset is adjusted to its fair value. Fair value is generally determined based on discounted future cash flow.  As of December 31, 2022, we adjusted the net book values of the equipment of TPT SpeedConnect, all intangibles, and the right of use assets as it became doubtful given that the estimated future cash flows would recover the net book values.  We recorded impairment expenses of $7,283,276 for the year ended December 31, 2022 comprised of $954,119 for property and equipment, $3,000,013 for intangibles, $3,224,487 for right of use assets and $104,657 for goodwill.

 

 

Leases

 

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 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. 

 

 

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 the 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 December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had shares that were potentially common stock equivalents as follows:

As of December 31, 2022, by amendment, holder of the Series A Preferred Stock which is Stephen J. Thomas, is guaranteed upon date of conversion to 60% of the common shares computed to include all projected conversions of all convertible debt and any other classes of Preferred Stock as if the conversions had taken place at the stated conversion price per share (i.e. for the avoidance of doubt – “fully diluted” as if such conversion had occurred prior to the Series A conversion.) The Company would have to authorize additional shares for this to occur as only 2,500,000,000 shares are authorized as of December 31, 2022 and 4,500,000,000 subsequently.

 

 

Concentration of Credit Risk, Off-Balance Sheet Risks and Other Risks and Uncertainties

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentration of credit risk primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. We invest our excess cash primarily in high quality securities and limit the amount of our credit exposure to any one financial institution. We do not require collateral or other securities to support customer receivables; however, we perform on-going credit evaluations of our customers and maintain allowances for potential credit losses.

 

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, two customer accounts receivable balances were 48% and 45%, respectively, of our aggregate accounts receivable from revenues.

Financial Instruments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Our primary financial instruments at December 31, 2022 and 2021 consisted of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and debt. 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 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 December 31, 2022 are the following:

 

Derivative Instrument

 

Fair Value

 

Fair value of EMA, First Fire, Cavalry Financial and 1800 Diagonal Convertible Promissory Notes

 

$4,634,653

 

Fair value of Warrants issued with the derivative instruments

 

 

187,745

 

 

 

$4,822,398

 

 

 

Research and Development

 

Our research and development programs focus on telecommunications products and services. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Any payments received from external parties to fund our research and development activities reduce the recorded research and development expenses.

 

 

Advertising Costs

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. The Company incurred advertising costs of zero for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

 

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

Derivative financial instruments, as defined in ASC 815, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities”, consist of financial instruments or other contracts that contain a notional amount and one or more underlying (e.g. interest rate, security price or other variable), require no initial net investment and permit net settlement. Derivative financial instruments may be free-standing or embedded in other financial instruments. Further, derivative financial instruments are initially, and subsequently, measured at fair value and recorded as liabilities or, in rare instances, assets.

 

The Company does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to cash-flow, market or foreign-currency risks. However, the Company has issued financial instruments including convertible promissory notes payable with features that were either (i) not afforded equity classification, (ii) embody risks not clearly and closely related to host contracts, or (iii) may be net-cash settled by the counterparty. As required by ASC 815, in certain instances, these instruments are required to be carried as derivative liabilities, at fair value, in our financial statements. 

 

The Company estimates the fair values of derivative financial instruments using the Monte Carlo model. Estimating fair values of derivative financial instruments requires the development of significant and subjective estimates (such as volatility, estimated life and interest rates) that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with related changes in internal and external market factors. In addition, option-based techniques are highly volatile and sensitive to changes in the trading market price of our common stock, which has a high-historical volatility. Since derivative financial instruments are initially and subsequently carried at fair values, the Company’s operating results will reflect the volatility in these estimate and assumption changes.

Table of Contents

 

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.

 

 

Sequencing Policy

 

Under ASC 815-40-35, the Company has adopted a sequencing policy whereby, in the event that reclassification of contracts from equity to assets or liabilities is necessary pursuant to ASC 815 due to the Company's inability to demonstrate it has sufficient authorized shares as a result of certain securities with a potentially indeterminable number of shares, shares will be allocated on the basis of the earliest issuance date of potentially dilutive instruments with the earliest grants receiving the first allocation of shares. Pursuant to ASC 815, issuance of securities to the Company's employees or directors is not subject to the sequencing policy.

 

 

COVID-19

 

In December 2019, COVID-19 emerged and has subsequently spread worldwide. The World Health Organization has declared COVID-19 a pandemic resulting in federal, state and local governments and private entities mandating various restrictions, including travel restrictions, restrictions on public gatherings, stay at home orders and advisories and quarantining of people who may have been exposed to the virus. After close monitoring and responses and guidance from federal, state and local governments, in an effort to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, for a period of time, the Company closed certain offices, all of which have be subsequently reopened.  The Company continues to monitor developments, including government requirements and recommendations at the national, state, and local level to evaluate possible extensions to all or part of such closures.

 

The Company has taken advantage of the stimulus offerings and received $1,402,700 in PPP loans.  All of these PPP loans were forgiven in the year ended December 31, 2021.  The Company is also in the process of trying to raise debt and equity financing, some of which may have to be used for working capital shortfalls if revenues continue to decline. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company entered into convertible promissory notes for a total of $744,260.  Subsequent to December 31, 2022, the Company entered into convertible promissory notes for $81,675 and $330,000.

 

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2016, the FASB (or “the Board”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13 (ASC “326” or “Topic 326”) which significantly changes the impairment model for most financial assets that are measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments from an incurred loss model to an expected loss model which will be based on an estimate of current expected credit loss (“CECL”); and provides targeted improvements on evaluating impairment and recording credit losses on available-for-sale (AFS) debt securities through an allowance account. The standard also requires incremental disclosures. The effective date is for years beginning after December 2022. The adoption is not considered to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

 

In August 2018, FASB issued final guidance Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The guidance became effective for all organizations for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. FASB has simplified certain disclosure requirements related to measuring the fair value of a plan’s assets and liabilities. This has been adopted by the Company with no significant impact to the consolidated financial statements. 

 

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 – ACQUISITIONS

 

TPT Strategic Merger with Information Security and Training LLC

 

Dated as of June 29, 2022, for synergies and the opportunity at other revenue streams, TPT Strategic entered into a definitive agreement for the acquisition of the assets and  Information Security and Training LLC (“IST LLC” or “IST”) (www.istincs.com)  a General Construction and Information Technology Services company based in Huntsville Alabama with branch offices in Nashville TN, Birmingham Al, Jackson MS, Fort Campbell KY, New Orleans LA, and Joint Base Lewis-McChord.  The TPT Strategic and IST, LLC agreement, which closed October 20, 2022, for the acquisition is a stock transaction where the founder and sole interest holder, Everett Lanier received 500,000 Preferred Series B shares of TPT Strategic that will convert to a 10% ownership of TPT Strategic under certain conditions. The acquisition includes the assumption of all assets and certain liabilities.  Everett Lanier will remain as the President and will become a Board Member of TPT Strategic.

TPT Acquisition of Property for Smart City Concept

 

On May 10, 2022, as part of a “Smart City” concept and to utilize its telecommunications expertise, the Company entered into Real Estate Sales Agreements to acquire approximately 135 acres of land in Tuskegee, with the Gray Family Limited Partnership and Lakeside Ranch, Inc. comprised of one approximate 45 acre parcel along Tuskegee Lake and the second an approximate 85 acre parcel along route 80 heading to Auburn, Alabama. Per the agreements, TPT Global Tech will be paying approximately $1,700,000 for the properties, of which it paid a combined $10,000 in down payments.  The Company had until November 11, 2022 to close the transactions including paying the remainder of the purchase price.  This did not happen, and the Company is in negotiations to finance this with a bank of which the Gray Family has verbally said they would honor.  Closing of the transactions are subject to the validity of the verbal commitment and obtaining financing, all surveys and finalizing master plans for the kick-off the Company’s “Smart City” project. 

 

 

NOTE 3 – 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 years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. Financing activities described below have helped with working capital and other capital requirements.

 

We incurred $21,749,920 and $4,095,507, respectively, in losses, and we used $226,493 and $995,093, respectively, in cash for operations for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. We calculate the net cash used by operating activities by decreasing, or increasing in case of gain, our let loss by those items that do not require the use of cash such as depreciation, amortization, promissory note issued for research and development, note payable issued for legal fees, derivative expense or gain, gain on extinguishment of debt, loss on conversion of notes payable, impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets and share-based compensation which totaled to a net $16,746,502 for 2022 and $(1,170,451) for 2021. 

 

 

 
F-53

Table of Contents

 

 

In addition, we report increases in assets and reductions in liabilities as uses of cash and decreases in assets and increases in liabilities as sources of cash, together referred to as changes in operating assets and liabilities.  For the year ended December 31, 2022, we had a net increase in our assets and liabilities of $4,776,925 primarily from an increase in accounts payable from lag of payments for accounts payable for cash flow considerations and an increase in the balances from our operating lease liabilities.  For the year ended December 31, 2021 we had a net increase to our assets and liabilities of $4,270,865 for similar reasons.

 

Cash flows from financing activities were $(180,525) and $1,169,810 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.  For the year ended December 30, 2022, these cash flows were generated from proceeds from convertible notes, loans and advances of $1,256,187 offset by payment on convertible loans, advances and factoring agreements of $1,391,580 and payments on convertible notes and amounts payable – related parties of $45,132.  For the year ended December 31, 2021, these cash flows were generated from the sale of Series D Preferred Stock, common stock subscriptions of $610,502, proceeds from convertible notes, loans and advances of $3,900,400 offset by payment on convertible loans, advances and factoring agreements of $3,502,592 and payments on convertible notes and amounts payable – related parties of $64,480. 

 

Cash flows provided by (used in) investing activities were $(22,747) and $324,040, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 primarily related to the acquisition of property and equipment and the purchase of IST.

 

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.

 

In December 2019, COVID-19 emerged and has subsequently spread worldwide. The World Health Organization has declared COVID-19 a pandemic resulting in federal, state and local governments and private entities mandating various restrictions, including travel restrictions, restrictions on public gatherings, stay at home orders and advisories and quarantining of people who may have been exposed to the virus. After close monitoring and responses and guidance from federal, state and local governments, in an effort to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, for a period of time, the Company closed certain offices, all of which have be subsequently reopened.  The Company continues to monitor developments, including government requirements and recommendations at the national, state, and local level to evaluate possible extensions to all or part of such closures.

 

The Company has taken advantage of the stimulus offerings and received $1,402,700 in PPP loans.  All of these PPP loans were forgiven in the year ended December 31, 2021.  The Company is also in the process of trying to raise debt and equity financing, some of which may have to be used for working capital shortfalls if revenues continue to decline. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company entered into convertible promissory notes for a total of $744,260.  Subsequent to December 31, 2022, the Company entered into convertible promissory notes for $81,675 and $330,000.

 

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.

Depreciation expense was $583,968 and $682,111 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

 

Approximately $200,000 of property and equipment, included herein, were financed through a financing lease.   See Note 9.

 

We periodically review the carrying amount of our depreciable long-lived assets for impairment which include property and equipment, intangible assets and right of use assets. An asset is considered impaired when estimated future cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset. In the event the carrying amount of such asset is not considered recoverable, the asset is adjusted to its fair value. Fair value is generally determined based on discounted future cash flow.  As of December 31, 2022, we adjusted the net book values of the equipment of TPT SpeedConnect, all intangibles, and the right of use assets as it became doubtful given that the estimated future cash flows would recover the net book values.  We recorded impairment expenses of $7,283,276 for the year ended December 31, 2022 comprised of $954,119 for property and equipment, $3,000,013 for intangibles, $3,224,487 for right of use assets and $104,657 for goodwill.

 

The Company recognized a gain of $485,404 during the year ended December 31, 2021 primarily from a theft of equipment that occurred.  The gain represented the cash received from insurance carrier over the net book value on the books at the time of the theft.

$360,000 is a bank loan dated May 28, 2019 which bears interest at Prime plus 6%, 13.0% as of December 31, 2022 and, as amended,  is interest only through May 1 2023 at which time the monthly payment of principal and interest of $29,838 is required until the due date of May 1, 2024. The bank loan is collateralized by assets of the Company.

 

On June 4, 2019, the Company consummated a Securities Purchase Agreement with Odyssey Capital Funding, LLC. (“Odyssey”) for the purchase of a $525,000 Convertible Promissory Note (“Odyssey Convertible Promissory Note”). The Odyssey Convertible Promissory Note was due June 3, 2020, paid interest at the rate of 12% (24% default) per annum and gave the holder the right from time to time, and at any time during the period beginning six months from the issuance date 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 was 55% 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 Odyssey Convertible Promissory Note could be prepaid in full at 125% to 145% up to 180 days from origination. Through June 3, 2020, Odyssey converted $49,150 of principal and $4,116 of accrued interest into 52,961,921 shares of common stock of the Company. On June 8, 2020, Odyssey agreed to convert the remaining principal and accrued interest balance on the Odyssey Convertible Promissory Note of $475,850 and $135,000, respectively, to a term loan payable in six months in the form of a balloon payment, earlier if the Company has a funding event, bearing simple interest on the unpaid balance of 0% for the first three months and then 10% per annum thereafter.  During April 2022, Odyssey accepted to exchange all of its outstanding principal and interest of $685,682 into 137,136 of TPT Series E Preferred Shares.

Effective September 30, 2020, we entered into a Purchase Agreement by which we agreed to purchase the 500,000 outstanding Series A Preferred shares of InnovaQor, Inc., our majority owned subsidiary, in an agreed amount of $350,000 in cash or common stock, if not paid in cash, at the five day average price preceding the date of the request for effectiveness after the filing of a registration statement on Form S-1. This was modified December 28 and 29, 2020, to provide for registration of 7,500,000 common shares for resale at the market price. Any balance due on notes will be calculated after an accounting for the net sales proceeds from sale of the stock by February 28, 2021 and may be paid in cash or stock thereafter. The Series A Preferred shares are being purchased from the Michael A. Littman, Atty. Defined Benefit Plan.     The $350,000 is included as a Note Payable as of December 31, 2020 and bears no interest.

NOTE 6 – 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 December 31, 2022, in the amount of $4,822,398 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 December 31, 2022.

NOTE 8 – STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT

 

Preferred Stock

 

As of December 31, 2022, we had authorized 100,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, of which certain shares had been designated as Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock.

 

All Preferred Stock is classified as mezzanine equity as a result of the Company not having enough authorized common shares to be able to issue common shares upon their conversion.

 

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

 

The Company designated 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock as Series A Preferred Stock.  In February 2015, the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to Stephen Thomas, Chairman, CEO and President of the Company, valued at $3,117,000 for compensation expense.  These shares are outstanding as of December 31, 2022.

 

The Series A Preferred Stock has a par value of $.001, is redeemable at the Company’s option at $100 per share, is senior to any other class or series of outstanding Preferred Stock or Common Stock and does not bear dividends. The Series A Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference immediately after any Senior Securities, as defined and amended, of an amount equal to amounts payable owing, including contingency amounts where Holders of the Series A have personally guaranteed obligations of the Company.

 

As of December 31, 2022, by amendment,  holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall, collectively have the right to convert all of their Series A Preferred Stock when conversion is elected into that number of shares of Common Stock of the Company, as amended and restated July 5, 2022 by the Board of Directors and a majority of the outstanding voting shares of the Company, determined by the following formula: 60% of the common shares computed to include all projected conversions of all convertible debt and any other classes of Preferred Stock as if the conversions had taken place at the stated conversion price per share (i.e. for the avoidance of doubt – “fully diluted” as if such conversion had occurred prior to the Series A conversion.) The Company determined that due to the significance of the amendment, it should be accounted for as an extinguishment and fair valued the amended Series A Preferred Stock at $42,983,742, creating a deemed dividend of $39,866,742.  The valuation of the amended Series A Preferred Stock was done by a qualified independent third party.

 

The record Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall  have the right to vote as if converted prior to the vote to an amount of shares equal to 60% of the common shares computed to include all projected conversions of all convertible debt and any other classes of Preferred Stock as if the conversions had taken place at the stated conversion price per share (i.e. for the avoidance of doubt – “fully diluted” as if such conversion had occurred prior to the Series A conversion) on any matter with holders of Common Stock for any vote required to approve any action, which Florida law provides may or must be approved by vote or consent of the holders of other series of voting shares and the holders of Common Stock or the holders of other securities entitled to vote, if any.

 

The Series A Preferred Stock is classified as mezzanine equity as a result of the Company not having enough authorized common shares to be able to issue common shares upon their conversion.

 

Series B Convertible Preferred Stock 

 

In February 2015, the Company designated 3,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.

The Series B Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference immediately after any Senior Securities, as defined and currently the Series A Preferred Stock, and of an amount equal to $2.00 per share. Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock have a right to convert all or any part of the Series B Preferred Shares and will receive and equal number of common shares at the conversion price of $2.00 per share. The Series B Preferred Stockholders have a right to vote on any matter with holders of Common Stock and shall have a number of votes equal to that number of Common Shares on a one-to-one basis.

 

There are 2,588,693 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding as of December 31, 2022.

 

The Series B Preferred Stock is classified as mezzanine equity as a result of the Company not having enough authorized common shares to be able to issue common shares upon their conversion.

Operating lease obligations

 

The Company adopted Topic 842 on January 1, 2019. The Company elected to adopt this standard using the optional modified retrospective transition method and recognized a cumulative-effect adjustment to the consolidated balance sheet on the date of adoption. Comparative periods have not been restated. With the adoption of Topic 842, the Company’s consolidated balance sheet now contains the following line items: Operating lease right-of-use assets, Current portion of operating lease liabilities and Operating lease liabilities, net of current portion.

 

As all the existing leases subject to the new lease standard were previously classified as operating leases by the Company, they were similarly classified as operating leases under the new standard. The Company has determined that the identified operating leases did not contain non-lease components and require no further allocation of the total lease cost. Additionally, the agreements in place did not contain information to determine the rate implicit in the leases, so we used our estimated incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. Our weighted average discount rate is 10.0% and the weighted average lease term of 2.55 years.

We have various non-cancelable lease agreements for certain of our tower locations with original lease periods expiring between 2022 and 2044. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain we will exercise that option. Certain of the arrangements contain escalating rent payment provisions. Our Idaho main office lease and an equipment lease described below and leases with an initial term of twelve months have not been recorded on the consolidated balance sheets. We recognize rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

 

Employment Agreements

 

The Company had employment agreements with certain employees of SDM, K Telecom and Air Fitness. The agreements are such that SDM, K Telecom and Air Fitness, on a standalone basis in each case, must provide sufficient cash flow to financially support the financial obligations within the employment agreements.  The employment agreements for SDM and Aire Fitness were terminated with the exchange of debt for Series E Preferred Stock.  See Note 8.

 

On May 6, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement to employ Ms. Bing Caudle as Vice President of Product Development of the Media One Live platform for an annual salary of $250,000 for five years, including customary employee benefits. The payment was guaranteed for five years whether or not Ms. Caudle is dismissed with cause.  This employment agreement was effectively modified with the Software Acquisition Agreement described in Note 5 such that the Company is required to make payroll payments of $250,000 per year for five years to Ms. Caudle and payroll payments totaling $150,000 over three years to her daughter. 

 

Litigation

 

On March 18, 2019, the Company issued to an Investor a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $600,000.00 (the “Auctus Promissory Note”) and Warrant Agreement (the “Auctus Warrant Agreement”) pursuant to that certain securities purchase agreement dated March 18, 2019 (the “Auctus SPA”) with Auctus Fund, LLC (“Auctus”). Pursuant to claims by Auctus that the Company had not complied with terms of the Auctus SPA, the Company and Auctus entered into a settlement agreement dated October 13, 2021 where by the Company would pay $763,231 and allow Auctus to exercise its right to exercise 15,000,000 warrants to purchase 15,000,000 shares of common stock.  Auctus agreed to limit the sale of common shares of the Company to 2,000,000 during each respective calendar week. The Company recognized a gain on debt extinguishment of $7,068,339 when this Auctus Promissory Note was paid off in large part because of the related derivative liability on the books at the time of the settlement.

 

We have been named in a lawsuit by EMA Financial, LLC (“EMA”) for failing to comply with a Securities Purchase Agreement entered into in June 2019.   More specifically, EMA claims the Company failed to honor notices of conversion, failed to establish and maintain share reserves, failed to register EMA shares and by failed to assure that EMA shares were Rule 144 eligible within 6 months.  EMA has claimed in excess of $7,614,967 in relief.  The Company has filed a motion in response for which EMA has filed a motion to dismiss.   The Company does not believe at this time that any negative outcome would result in more than the $920,579 it has recorded on its balance sheet as of December 31, 2022.

 

A lawsuit was filed in Michigan by the one of the former owners of SpeedConnect, LLC, John Ogren.   Mr. Ogren claimed he was owed back wages related to the acquisition agreement wherein the Company acquired the assets of SpeedConnect, LLC and kept him on through a consulting agreement. The Company’s position was that he ultimately resigned in writing and was not due any back wages.  In August 2021, Mr. Ogren was awarded $334,908 in back wages by an Arbitrator.  This amount has been expensed in the statement of operations as other expenses for the year ended December 31, 2021.  Mr. Ogren and the Company agreed to a settlement whereby the Company would pay $120,000 within 14 days of a written agreement with four monthly payments of $20,000 starting on December 5, 2021 through March 2, 2022. This debt was completely paid off as of December 31, 2022.

 

We have been named in a lawsuit by a collection law firm on behalf of Pinnacle Towers LLC and Crown Atlantic Company Inc., against TPT Global Tech, Inc.  The claim derives from an outstanding debt by incurred by Copperhead Digital.  The lawsuit is over unpaid rent that should have been paid by Copperhead Digital but was not paid.  The Company believes it has several defenses to this claim and is in the process of communicating with opposing counsel for dismissal of the claims which amount to $386,030.62 plus interest, costs and attorney fees.  The Company has accounted for approximately $600,000 in payables on its consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 for this subsidiary payable.

 

Lawsuits are being threatened by vendors in relation to tower lease payments in accordance with tower lease agreements that were entered into by SpeedConnect.  The claims are currently being investigated and the amount in controversy being claimed is approximately $2,784,107. The Company has approximately $2,903,316 in accounts payable for these threatened claims as of December 31, 2022.  The claims appear to include lease agreements that have been terminated and future payments not yet due, among other issues.  As such, the parties are trying to come up with resolutions for these claims.

 

We have been named in lawsuits by two merchant debt companies, Mr. Advance and CLOUDFUND versus TPT Global Tech and TPT SpeedConnect for non-payment under the debt agreements for which the companies received judgements against the Company.  The judgements totaled $521,409, including legal and other fees for which the Company has $546,219 recorded in loans, advances and agreements.The Company is in negotiations with both of these companies to restructure payment and work out acceptable terns.  Management believes it will not have to pay more than what it has recorded in accounts payable.

 

We have been named in a lawsuit by AHS Staffing, LLC against TPT MedTech, LLC claiming unpayment of $159,959 in billings for medical staffing services rendered by AHS Staffing, LLC on behalf of TPT MedTech. The Company believes it has defenses for a portion of the services rendered but has recorded a payable in accounts payable in the consolidated balance sheet of $120,967. Management does not believe that an unfavorable outcome will result in payment of more than is recorded in accounts payable.

 

The Company has been named in a lawsuit, Robert Serrett vs. TruCom, Inc., 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. We learned that Mr. Serrett received a default judgement in Texas on May 15, 2018 for $70,650 plus $3,500 in attorney fees and 5% interest and court costs.  However, he has made no attempt that we are aware of to obtain a sister state judgment in Arizona, where Trucom resides, or to try and enforce the judgement and collect.  Management believes it has good and meritorious defenses and does not belief the outcome of the lawsuit will have any material effect on the financial position of the Company.

Customer Contingencies

 

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 these amounts. Management believes that the customer agreement allows them to keep the amounts under dispute.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

Our officers and directors are indemnified as provided by the Florida Revised Statutes and the bylaws.

 

Under the Florida Revised Statutes, director immunity from liability to a company or its shareholders for monetary liabilities applies automatically unless it is specifically limited by a company’s Articles of Incorporation. Our Articles of Incorporation do not specifically limit the directors’ immunity. Excepted from that immunity are: (a) a willful failure to deal fairly with us or our shareholders in connection with a matter in which the director has a material conflict of interest; (b) a violation of criminal law, unless the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was lawful or no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful; (c) a transaction from which the director derived an improper personal profit; and (d) willful misconduct.

 

Our bylaws provide that it will indemnify the directors to the fullest extent not prohibited by Florida law; provided, however, that we may modify the extent of such indemnification by individual contracts with the directors and officers; and, provided, further, that we shall not be required to indemnify any director or officer in connection with any proceeding, or part thereof, initiated by such person unless such indemnification: (a) is expressly required to be made by law, (b) the proceeding was authorized by the board of directors, (c) is provided by us, in sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested under Florida law or (d) is required to be made pursuant to the bylaws.

 

Our bylaws provide that it will advance to any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of us, or is or was serving at the request of us as a director or executive officer of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, prior to the final disposition of the proceeding, promptly following request therefore, all expenses incurred by any director or officer in connection with such proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay said amounts if it should be determined ultimately that such person is not entitled to be indemnified under the bylaws or otherwise.

 

Our bylaws provide that no advance shall be made by us to an officer except by reason of the fact that such officer is or was our director in which event this paragraph shall not apply, in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, if a determination is reasonably and promptly made: (a) by the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the proceeding, or (b) if such quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, that the facts known to the decision-making party at the time such determination is made demonstrate clearly and convincingly that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to the best interests of us.

Exemption From Registration Claimed

 

All of the above sales by us of our unregistered securities were made by us in reliance upon Rule 506 of Regulation D and Section 4(a)(5) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). All of the individuals and/or entities that purchased the unregistered securities were primarily existing shareholders, known to us and our management, through pre-existing business relationships, as long-standing business associates and employees. All purchasers were provided access to all material information, which they requested, and all information necessary to verify such information and were afforded access to our management in connection with their purchases. All purchasers of the unregistered securities acquired such securities for investment and not with a view toward distribution, acknowledging such intent to us. All certificates or agreements representing such securities that were issued contained restrictive legends, prohibiting further transfer of the certificates or agreements representing such securities, without such securities either being first registered or otherwise exempt from registration in any further resale or disposition.

 

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

Item 17. Undertakings.

 

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes

 

1. To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

i. To include any Prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

 

ii. To reflect in the Prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of Prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement. iii. To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

 

2. That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

3. To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

4. That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

i. Any Preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

ii. Any free writing Prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

iii. The portion of any other free writing Prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

iv. Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

 

5. That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser: Each Prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than Prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or Prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or Prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or Prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the corporation in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by a controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and will be governed by the final adjudication of such case.
