ITEM 3. PROSPECTUS SUMMARY INFORMATION, RISK
FACTORS AND RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES
Our Company
TPT
Global Tech, Inc. (“We,” “Us,”
“Our,” “TPT,” or “TPT Global”)
is incorporated in the State of Florida with operations located in
San Diego, California, providing complete, communication and data
services and products to small to mid-sized organizations
(“SMB”).
CORPORATE HISTORY
COMPANY OVERVIEW
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. and Ally Pharma changed its name to TPT Global Tech,
Inc. In 2014, we acquired all the assets of K Telecom and Wireless
LLC (“K Telecom”) and Global Telecom International, LLC
(“Global Telecom”). Effective January 31, 2015, we
completed our acquisition of 100% of the outstanding stock of
Copperhead Digital Holdings, Inc. (“Copperhead
Digital”) and Subsidiaries, TruCom, LLC
(“TruCom”), Nevada Utilities, Inc. (“Nevada
Utilities”) and CityNet Arizona, LLC (“CityNet”).
In October 2015, we acquired the assets of both Port2Port, Inc.
(“Port2Port”) and Digithrive, Inc.
(“Digithrive”). Effective September 30, 2016, we
acquired 100% ownership in San Diego Media, Inc.
(“SDM”). In December 2016, we acquired the Lion Phone
technology. In October and November 2017, we entered into
agreements to acquire Blue Collar, Inc. (“Blue
Collar”), and certain assets of Matrixsites, Inc.
(“Matrixsites”) which we have completed. On May 7, 2019
we completed the acquisition of a majority of the assets of
SpeedConnect, LLC, which assets were conveyed into our wholly owned
subsidiary TPT SpeedConnect, LLC (“TPT SC” or
“TPT SpeedConnect”) which was formed on April 16, 2019.
On March 7, 2020 we acquired 75% interest in Bridge Internet, LLC
(Bridge Internet) and in March 2020 we formed InnovaQor, Inc. In
March 2020, we formed TPT MedTech, LLC. In June 2020, we entered
into an agreement to acquire 75% of the Fitness Container, LLC,
which transaction closed as of August 1, 2020.
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. Media Content Hub for Domestic and
International syndication Technology/Telecommunications company
operating on our own proprietary Global Digital Media TV and
Telecommunications infrastructure platform and also provides
technology solutions to businesses domestically and worldwide. We
offer Software as a Service (SaaS), Technology Platform as a
Service (PAAS), Cloud-based Unified Communication as a Service
(UCaaS) and carrier-grade performance and support for businesses
over our private IP MPLS fiber and wireless network in the United
States. Our cloud-based UCaaS services allow businesses of any size
to enjoy all the latest voice, data, media and collaboration
features in today's global technology markets. We also operate as a
Master Distributor for Nationwide Mobile Virtual Network Operators
(MVNO) and Independent Sales Organization (ISO) as a Master
Distributor for Pre-Paid Cellphone services, Mobile phones,
Cellphone Accessories and Global Roaming
Cellphones.
We
anticipate needing an estimated $45,000,000 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. As
part of this $45,000,000, we will use approximately $15,000,000 in
debt restructuring, approximately $18,000,000 in equipment
purchases and approximately $9,000 for working capital. We are in
negotiations for certain sources to provide funding but at this
time do not have a committed source of these funds.
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.
IMPLICATIONS OF BEING AN EMERGING GROWTH COMPANY
As a
company with less than $1.0 billion of revenue during our last
fiscal year, we qualify as an emerging growth company as defined in
the JOBS Act, and we may remain an emerging growth company for up
to five years from the date of the first sale in this offering.
However, if certain events occur prior to the end of such five-year
period, including if we become a large accelerated filer, our
annual gross revenue exceeds $1.0 billion, or we issue more than
$1.0 billion of non-convertible debt in any three-year period, we
will cease to be an emerging growth company prior to the end of
such five-year period. For so long as we remain an emerging growth
company, we are permitted and intend to rely on exemptions from
certain disclosure and other requirements that are applicable to
other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. In
particular, in this prospectus, we have provided only two years of
audited financial statements and have not included all of the
executive compensation related information that would be required
if we were not an emerging growth company. Accordingly, the
information contained herein may be different than the information
you receive from other public companies in which you hold equity
interests. However, we have irrevocably elected not to avail
ourselves of the extended transition period for complying with new
or revised accounting standards, and, therefore, we will be subject
to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public
companies that are not emerging growth companies.
Summary of Financial Information
The
following tables set forth, for the periods and as of the dates
indicated, our summary financial data. The statements of operations
for the six months ended June 30, 2020, and the balance sheet data
as of June 30, 2020 are derived from our unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements. The unaudited financial
statements include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments
consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, that management
considers necessary for the fair presentation of the financial
information set forth in those statements. You should read the
following information together with the more detailed information
contained in “Selected Financial Data,”
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations” and our financial
statements and related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus.
Our historical results are not indicative of the results to be
expected in the future and results of interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of results for the entire year. The
statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2019 and
2018, and balance sheet data as of December 31, 2019, are derived
from our audited financial statements included elsewhere in this
prospectus. You should read the following information together with
the more detailed information contained in “Selected
Financial Data,” “Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”
and our financial statements and related notes included elsewhere
in this prospectus. Our historical results are not indicative of
the results to be expected in the future.

Forward
Looking Statements
This
prospectus contains various forward-looking statements that are
based on our beliefs as well as assumptions made by and information
currently available to us. When used in this prospectus, the words
"believe," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," and similar
expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
These statements may include statements regarding seeking business
opportunities, payment of operating expenses, and the like, and are
subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions which could
cause actual results to differ materially from projections or
estimates. Factors which could cause actual results to differ
materially are discussed at length under the heading "Risk
Factors." Should one or more of the enumerated risks or
uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove
incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those
anticipated, estimated or projected. Investors should not place
undue reliance on forward-looking statements, all of which speak
only as of the date made.
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.
|
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;
|

As of
June 30, 2020, the total debt or financing arrangements was
$15,500,289, of which approximately $2,161,814 or 7% of total
current liabilities is past due. As of June 30, 2020, the Company
had financing lease liability-related amounts of $640,957. Our
inability to renegotiate our indebtedness may cause lien holders to
obtain possession of a good portion of our assets which would
significantly alter our ability to generate revenues and obtain any
additional financing.
We may experience difficulties in constructing, upgrading and
maintaining our network, which could adversely affect customer
satisfaction, increase subscriber turnover and reduce our
revenues.
Our
success depends on developing and providing products and services
that give subscribers a high-quality internet connectivity and VoIP
experience. If the number of subscribers using our network and the
complexity of our products and services increase, we will require
more infrastructure and network resources to maintain the quality
of our services. Consequently, we expect to make substantial
investments to construct and improve our facilities and equipment
and to upgrade our technology and network infrastructure. If we do
not implement these developments successfully, or if we experience
inefficiencies, operational failures or unforeseen costs during
implementation, the quality of our products and services could
decline.
We may
experience quality deficiencies, cost overruns and delays on
construction, maintenance and upgrade projects, including the
portions of those projects not within our control or the control of
our contractors. The construction of our network requires the
receipt of permits and approvals from numerous governmental bodies,
including municipalities and zoning boards. Such bodies often limit
the expansion of transmission towers and other construction
necessary for our business. Failure to receive approvals in a
timely fashion can delay system rollouts and raise the cost of
completing construction projects. In addition, we typically are
required to obtain rights from land, building and tower owners to
install our antennas and other equipment to provide service to our
subscribers. We may not be able to obtain, on terms acceptable to
us, or at all, the rights necessary to construct our network and
expand our services.
We also
face challenges in managing and operating our network. These
challenges include operating, maintaining and upgrading network and
customer premises equipment to accommodate increased traffic or
technological advances, and managing the sales, advertising,
customer support, billing and collection functions of our business
while providing reliable network service at expected speeds and
VoIP telephony at expected levels of quality. Our failure in any of
these areas could adversely affect customer satisfaction, increase
subscriber turnover, increase our costs, decrease our revenues and
otherwise have a material adverse effect on our business,
prospects, financial condition and results of
operations.
If we do not obtain and maintain rights to use licensed spectrum in
one or more markets, we may be unable to operate in these markets,
which could adversely affect our ability to execute our business
strategy.
Even
though we have established license agreements, growth requires that
we plan to provide our services obtaining additional licensed
spectrum both in the United States and internationally, we depend
on our ability to acquire and maintain sufficient rights to use
licensed spectrum by obtaining our own licenses or long-term
spectrum leases, in each of the markets in which we operate or
intend to operate. Licensing is the short-term solution to
obtaining the necessary spectrum as building out spectrum is a long
and difficult process that can be costly and require a
disproportionate amount of our management resources. We may not be
able to acquire, lease or maintain the spectrum necessary to
execute our business strategy.
Using
licensed spectrum, whether owned or leased, poses additional risks
to us, including:
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
inability
to satisfy build-out or service deployment requirements upon which
our spectrum licenses or leases are, or may be,
conditioned;
|
|
|
●
|
increases
in spectrum acquisition costs;
|
|
|
●
|
adverse
changes to regulations governing our spectrum rights;
|
|
|
●
|
the
risk that spectrum we have acquired or leased will not be
commercially usable or free of harmful interference from licensed
or unlicensed operators in our or adjacent bands;
|
|
|
●
|
with
respect to spectrum we will lease in the United States, contractual
disputes with or the bankruptcy or other reorganization of the
license holders, which could adversely affect our control over the
spectrum subject to such license;
|
|
|
●
|
failure
of the FCC or other regulators to renew our spectrum licenses as
they expire; and
|
|
|
●
|
invalidation
of our authorization to use all or a significant portion of our
spectrum, resulting in, among other things, impairment charges
related to assets recorded for such spectrum.
|
If we fail to establish and maintain an effective system of
internal control, we may not be able to report our financial
results accurately or to prevent fraud. Any inability to report and
file our financial results accurately and timely could harm our
business and adversely impact the trading price of our common
stock.
Effective
internal control is necessary for us to provide reliable financial
reports and prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial
reports or prevent fraud, we may not be able to manage our business
as effectively as we would if an effective control environment
existed, and our business, brand and reputation with investors may
be harmed.
In
addition, reporting a material weakness may negatively impact
investors’ perception of us. We have allocated, and will
continue to allocate, significant additional resources to remedy
any deficiencies in our internal control. There can be no
assurances that our remedial measures will be successful in curing
the any material weakness or that other significant deficiencies or
material weaknesses will not arise in the future.
Interruption or failure of our information technology and
communications systems could impair our ability to provide our
products and services, which could damage our reputation and harm
our operating results.
We have
experienced service interruptions in some markets in the past and
may experience service interruptions or system failures in the
future. Any unscheduled service interruption adversely affects our
ability to operate our business and could result in an immediate
loss of revenues. If we experience frequent or persistent system or
network failures, our reputation and brand could be permanently
harmed. We may make significant capital expenditures to increase
the reliability of our systems, but these capital expenditures may
not achieve the results we expect.
Our
products and services depend on the continuing operation of our
information technology and communications systems. Any damage to or
failure of our systems could result in interruptions in our
service. Interruptions in our service could reduce our revenues and
profits, and our brand could be damaged if people believe our
network is unreliable. Our systems are vulnerable to damage or
interruption from earthquakes, terrorist attacks, floods, fires,
power loss, telecommunications failures, computer viruses, computer
denial of service attacks or other attempts to harm our systems,
and similar events. Some of our systems are not fully redundant,
and our disaster recovery planning may not be adequate. The
occurrence of a natural disaster or unanticipated problems at our
network centers could result in lengthy interruptions in our
service and adversely affect our operating results.
The industries in which we operate are continually evolving, which
makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and increases
the risk of your investment. Our products and services may become
obsolete, and we may not be able to develop competitive products or
services on a timely basis or at all.
The
markets in which we and our customers compete are characterized by
rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards and
communications protocols, and continuous improvements in products
and services. Our future success depends on our ability to enhance
current products and to develop and introduce in a timely manner
new products that keep pace with technological developments,
industry standards and communications protocols, compete
effectively on the basis of price, performance and quality,
adequately address end-user customer requirements and achieve
market acceptance. There can be no assurance that the deployment of
wireless networks will not be delayed or that our products will
achieve widespread market acceptance or be capable of providing
service at competitive prices in sufficient volumes. In the event
that our products are not timely and economically developed or do
not gain widespread market acceptance, our business, results of
operations and financial condition would be materially adversely
affected. There can also be no assurance that our products will not
be rendered obsolete by the introduction and acceptance of new
communications protocols.
The
broadband services industry is characterized by rapid technological
change, competitive pricing, frequent new service introductions and
evolving industry standards and regulatory requirements. We believe
that our success depends on our ability to anticipate and adapt to
these challenges and to offer competitive services on a timely
basis. We face a number of difficulties and uncertainties
associated with our reliance on technological development, such
as:
|
|
●
|
competition
from service providers using more traditional and commercially
proven means to deliver similar or alternative
services;
|
|
|
●
|
competition
from new service providers using more efficient, less expensive
technologies, including products not yet invented or
developed;
|
|
|
●
|
uncertain
consumer acceptance;
|
|
|
●
|
realizing
economies of scale;
|
|
|
●
|
responding
successfully to advances in competing technologies in a timely and
cost-effective manner;
|
|
|
●
|
migration
toward standards-based technology, requiring substantial capital
expenditures; and
|
|
|
●
|
existing,
proposed or undeveloped technologies that may render our wireless
broadband and VoIP telephony services less profitable or
obsolete.
|
As the
products and services offered by us and our competitors develop,
businesses and consumers may not accept our services as a
commercially viable alternative to other means of delivering
wireless broadband and VoIP telephony services.
If we are unable to successfully develop and market additional
services and/or new generations of our services offerings or market
our services and product offerings to a broad number of customers,
we may not remain competitive.
Our
future success and our ability to increase net revenue and earnings
depend, in part, on our ability to develop and market new
additional services and/or new generations of our current services
offerings and market our existing services offerings to a broad
number of customers. However, we may not be able to, among other
things:
|
|
●
|
successfully
develop or market new services or product offerings or enhance
existing services offerings;
|
|
|
●
|
educate
third-party sales organizations adequately for them to promote and
sell our services offerings;
|
|
|
●
|
develop,
market and distribute existing and future services offerings in a
cost-effective manner; or
|
|
|
●
|
operate
the facilities needed to provide our services
offerings.
|
If we
fail to develop new service offerings, or if we incur unexpected
expenses or delays in product development or integration, we may
lose our competitive position and incur substantial additional
expenses or may be required to curtail or terminate all or part of
our present planned business operations.
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.
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 grown significantly as a result of acquisitions,
including the Acquisitions, which entail numerous risks
including:
|
|
●
|
distraction of our management team in identifying potential acquisition targets, conducting due diligence and negotiating acquisition agreements; |
|
|
●
|
difficulties
in integrating the operations, personnel, products, technologies
and systems of acquired businesses;
|
|
|
●
|
difficulties in enhancing our customer support resources to adequately service our existing customers and the customers of acquired businesses; |
|
|
●
|
the potential loss of key employees or customers of the acquired businesses; |
|
|
●
|
unanticipated liabilities or contingencies of acquired businesses; |
|
|
●
|
unbudgeted costs which we may incur in connection with pursuing potential acquisitions which are not consummated; |
|
|
●
|
failure to achieve projected cost savings or cash flow from acquired businesses, which are based on projections that are inherently uncertain; |
|
|
●
|
fluctuations in our operating results caused by incurring considerable expenses to acquire and integrate businesses before receiving the anticipated revenues expected to result from the acquisitions; and |
|
|
●
|
difficulties in obtaining regulatory approvals required to consummate acquisitions. |
We also
participate in competitive bidding processes, some of which may
involve significant cable systems. If we are the winning bidder in
any such process involving significant cable systems or we
otherwise engage in acquisitions or other strategic transactions in
the future, we may incur additional debt, contingent liabilities
and amortization expenses, which could materially adversely affect
our business, financial condition and results of operations. We
could also issue substantial additional equity which could dilute
existing stockholders.
If our
acquisitions, including the Acquisitions and the integration of the
Optimum and Suddenlink businesses, do not result in the anticipated
operating efficiencies, are not effectively integrated, or result
in costs which exceed our expectations, our business, financial
condition and results of operations could be materially adversely
affected.
Significant unanticipated increases in the use of
bandwidth-intensive Internet-based services could increase our
costs.
The
rising popularity of bandwidth-intensive Internet-based services
poses risks for our broadband services. Examples of such services
include peer-to-peer file sharing services, gaming services and the
delivery of video via streaming technology and by download. If
heavy usage of bandwidth-intensive broadband services grows beyond
our current expectations, we may need to incur more expenses than
currently anticipated to expand the bandwidth capacity of our
systems or our customers could have a suboptimal experience when
using our broadband service. In order to continue to provide
quality service at attractive prices, we need the continued
flexibility to develop and refine business models that respond to
changing consumer uses and demands and to manage bandwidth usage
efficiently. Our ability to undertake such actions could be
restricted by regulatory and legislative efforts to impose
so-called "net neutrality" requirements on broadband communication
providers like us that provide broadband services. For more
information, see "Regulation—Broadband."
We operate in a highly competitive business environment which could
materially adversely affect our business, financial condition,
results of operations and liquidity.
We
operate in a highly competitive, consumer-driven industry and we
compete against a variety of broadband, pay television and
telephony providers and delivery systems, including broadband
communications companies, wireless data and telephony providers,
satellite-delivered video signals, Internet-delivered video content
and broadcast television signals available to residential and
business customers in our service areas. Some of our competitors
include AT&T and its DirecTV subsidiary, CenturyLink, DISH
Network, Frontier and Verizon. In addition, our pay television
services compete with all other sources of leisure, news,
information and entertainment, including movies, sporting or other
live events, radio broadcasts, home-video services, console games,
print media and the Internet.
In some
instances, our competitors have fewer regulatory burdens, easier
access to financing, greater resources, greater operating
capabilities and efficiencies of scale, stronger brand-name
recognition, longstanding relationships with regulatory authorities
and customers, more subscribers, more flexibility to offer
promotional packages at prices lower than ours and greater access
to programming or other services. This competition creates pressure
on our pricing and has adversely affected, and may continue to
affect, our ability to add and retain customers, which in turn
adversely affects our business, financial condition and results of
operations. The effects of competition may also adversely affect
our liquidity and ability to service our debt. For example, we face
intense competition from Verizon and AT&T, which have network
infrastructure throughout our service areas. We estimate that
competitors are currently able to sell a fiber-based triple play,
including broadband, pay television and telephony services, and may
expand these and other service offerings to our potential
customers.
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
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:

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 services for delivery to subscribers, we may be forced to
suspend portions of our wireless broadband network, enrollment of
new subscribers, and product sales and our business, prospects,
financial condition and operating results may be
harmed.
We rely on highly skilled executives and other personnel. If we
cannot retain and motivate key personnel, we may be unable to
implement our business strategy.
We will
be highly dependent on the scientific, technical, and managerial
skills of certain key employees, including technical, research and
development, sales, marketing, financial and executive personnel,
and on our ability to identify, hire and retain additional
personnel. To accommodate our current size and manage our
anticipated growth, we must expand our employee base. Competition
for key personnel, particularly persons having technical expertise,
is intense, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to
retain existing personnel or to identify or hire additional
personnel. The need for such personnel is particularly important
given the strains on our existing infrastructure and the need to
anticipate the demands of future growth. In particular, we are
highly dependent on the continued services of our senior management
team, which currently is composed of a small number of individuals.
We do not maintain key-man life insurance on the life of any
employee. The inability of us to attract, hire or retain the
necessary technical, sales, marketing, financial and executive
personnel, or the loss of the services of any member of our senior
management team, could have a material adverse effect on
us.
Our
future success depends largely on the expertise and reputation of
our founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Stephen J.
Thomas, Richard Eberhardt, and the other members of our senior
management team. In addition, we intend to hire additional highly
skilled individuals to staff our operations. Loss of any of our key
personnel or the inability to recruit and retain qualified
individuals could adversely affect our ability to implement our
business strategy and operate our business.
We are
currently managed by a small number of key management and operating
personnel. Our future success depends, in part, on our ability to
recruit and retain qualified personnel. Failure to do so likely
would have an adverse impact on our business and the trading price
of our common stock.
If our data security measures are breached, subscribers may
perceive our network and services as not secure.
Our
network security and the authentication of the subscriber’s
credentials are designed to protect unauthorized access to data on
our network. Because techniques used to obtain unauthorized access
to or to sabotage networks change frequently and may not be
recognized until launched against a target, we may be unable to
anticipate or implement adequate preventive measures against
unauthorized access or sabotage. Consequently, unauthorized parties
may overcome our encryption and security systems and obtain access
to data on our network, including on a device connected to our
network. In addition, because we operate and control our network
and our subscribers’ Internet connectivity, unauthorized
access or sabotage of our network could result in damage to our
network and to the computers or other devices used by our
subscribers. An actual or perceived breach of network security,
regardless of whether the breach is our fault, could harm public
perception of the effectiveness of our security measures, adversely
affect our ability to attract and retain subscribers, expose us to
significant liability and adversely affect our business
prospects.
Our activities outside the United States could disrupt our
operations.
We
intend to invest in various international companies and spectrum
opportunities through acquisitions and strategic alliances as these
opportunities arise. Our activities outside the United States
operate in environments different from the one we face in the
United States, particularly with respect to competition and
regulation. Due to these differences, our activities outside the
United States may require a disproportionate amount of our
management and financial resources, which could disrupt our U.S.
operations and adversely affect our business.
In a
number of international markets, we face substantial competition
from local service providers that offer or may offer their own
wireless broadband or VoIP telephony services and from other
companies that provide Internet connectivity services. We may face
heightened challenges in gaining market share, particularly in
certain European countries, where a large portion of the population
already has broadband Internet connectivity and incumbent companies
already have a dominant market share in their service areas.
Furthermore, foreign providers of competing services may have a
substantial advantage over us in attracting subscribers due to a
more established brand, greater knowledge of local
subscribers’ preferences and access to significant financial
or strategic resources.
In
addition, foreign regulatory authorities frequently own or control
the incumbent telecommunications companies operating under their
jurisdiction. Established relationships between government-owned or
government-controlled telecommunications companies and their
traditional local providers of telecommunications services often
limit access of third parties to these markets. The successful
expansion of our international operations in some markets will
depend on our ability to locate, form and maintain strong
relationships with established local communication services and
equipment providers. Failure to establish these relationships or to
market or sell our products and services successfully could limit
our ability to attract subscribers to our services.
We may be unable to protect our intellectual property, which could
reduce the value of our services and our brand.
Our
ability to compete effectively depends on our ability to protect
our proprietary technologies, system designs and manufacturing
processes. We may not be able to safeguard and maintain our
proprietary rights. We rely on patents, trademarks and policies and
procedures related to confidentiality to protect our intellectual
property. Some of our intellectual property, however, is not
covered by any of these protections.
We could be subject to claims that we have infringed on the
proprietary rights of others, which claims would likely be costly
to defend, could require us to pay damages and could limit our
ability to use necessary technologies in the
future.
Our
competitors may independently develop or patent technologies or
processes that are substantially equivalent or superior to ours.
These competitors may claim that our services and products infringe
on these patents or other proprietary rights. Defending against
infringement claims, even merit less ones, would be time consuming,
distracting and costly. If we are found to be infringing
proprietary rights of a third party, we could be enjoined from
using such third party’s rights and be required to pay
substantial royalties and damages and may no longer be able to use
the intellectual property on acceptable terms or at all. Failure to
obtain licenses to intellectual property could delay or prevent the
development, manufacture or sale of our products or services and
could cause us to expend significant resources to develop or
acquire non-infringing intellectual property.
Our business depends on our brand, and if we do not maintain and
enhance our brand, our ability to attract and retain subscribers
may be impaired and our business and operating results
harmed.
We
believe that our brand is a critical part of our business.
Maintaining and enhancing our brand may require us to make
substantial investments with no assurance that these investments
will be successful. If we fail to promote and maintain our brands,
or if we incur significant expenses in this effort, our business,
prospects, operating results and financial condition may be harmed.
We anticipate that maintaining and enhancing our brand will become
increasingly important, difficult and expensive.
We are subject to extensive regulation.
Our
acquisition, lease, maintenance and use of spectrum licenses are
extensively regulated by federal, state, local, and foreign
governmental entities. A number of other federal, state, local and
foreign privacy, security and consumer laws also apply to our
business. These regulations and their application are subject to
continual change as new legislation, regulations or amendments to
existing regulations are adopted from time to time by governmental
or regulatory authorities, including as a result of judicial
interpretations of such laws and regulations. Current regulations
directly affect the breadth of services we are able to offer and
may impact the rates, terms and conditions of our services.
Regulation of companies that offer competing services, such as
cable and DSL providers and incumbent telecommunications carriers,
also affects our business indirectly.
We are
also subject to regulation because we provide VoIP telephony
services. As an “interconnected” VoIP provider, we are
required under FCC rules, to comply with the Communications
Assistance for Law Enforcement Act, or CALEA, which requires
service providers to build certain capabilities into their networks
and to accommodate wiretap requests from law enforcement
agencies.
In
addition, the FCC or other regulatory authorities may in the future
restrict our ability to manage subscribers’ use of our
network, thereby limiting our ability to prevent or address
subscribers’ excessive bandwidth demands. To maintain the
quality of our network and user experience, we manage the bandwidth
used by our subscribers’ applications, in part by restricting
the types of applications that may be used over our network. Some
providers and users of these applications have objected to 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 six months ended
June 30, 2020 and 2019. We incurred $3,495,988 and $11,525,157,
respectively, in losses, and we used $318,895 and $1,082,208,
respectively, in cash for operations for the six months June 30,
2020 and 2019. Cash flows from financing activities were $506,735
and $2,151,897 for the same periods. These factors raise
substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a
going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these
financial statements. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.
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, around March 18, 2020 for an
indefinite period of time, the Company closed its Blue Collar
office in Los Angeles, California and its TPT SpeedConnect offices
in Michigan, Idaho and Arizona. Most employees are working
remotely, however this is not possible with certain employees and
all subcontractors that work for Blue Collar. 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 $722,200 in April 2020 and believes it has used these
funds as is prescribed by the stimulus offerings to have the entire
amount forgiven. A portion of the loan to Blue Collar is under
the automatic forgiveness amount of $150,000. 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 decrease significantly because of the COVID-19
closures.
As the COVID-19 pandemic is complex and rapidly evolving, the
Company's plans as described above may change. 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.
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.
As of
June 30, 2020, we had the following convertible promissory notes,
preferred stock and options and warrants outstanding that are
convertible into common shares 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 1,000,000,000 shares are currently authorized.
(2) The
conversion features of the various convertible debt provide for
conversion to common stock at discounts from the market prices
which will have, and has had, a seriously dilutive effect on stock
amounts and the prices reflected in the market.

During
the year ended December 31, 2018, we entered into consulting
arrangements primarily for legal work and general business support
that included the issuance of stock options to purchase 3,000,000
options to purchase common shares at $0.10 per share. 2,000,000 of
these expired. The remaining 1,000,000 are fully vested as of June
30, 2020.
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.
Warrants
As of October 6, 2020, there were 3,333,333 warrants outstanding
that expire in five years or in the year ended December 31, 2024.
As part of the Convertible Promissory Notes payable – third
party issuance in Note 5, the Company issued 3,333,333 warrants to
purchase 3,333,333 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.
The
exercise of the options, warrants, convertible promissory notes and
Series A and B Series Preferred Stock into shares of our common
stock could have a dilutive effect to the holdings of our existing
shareholders.
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 79)
We have agreed to indemnification of officers and directors as is
provided by Florida Statutes.
Florida
Statutes provide for the indemnification of our directors,
officers, employees, and agents, under certain circumstances,
against attorney’s fees and other expenses incurred by them
in any litigation to which they become a party arising from their
association with or activities our behalf. We will also bear the
expenses of such litigation for any of our directors, officers,
employees, or agents, upon such person’s promise to repay us
therefore if it is ultimately determined that any such person shall
not have been entitled to indemnification. This indemnification
policy could result in substantial expenditures by us that we will
be unable to recoup.
Our directors’ liability to us and shareholders is
limited.
Florida
Statutes exclude personal liability of our directors and our
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty
except in certain specified circumstances. Accordingly, we will
have a much more limited right of action against our directors that
otherwise would be the case. This provision does not affect the
liability of any director under federal or applicable state
securities laws.
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
services offerings introduced by competitors may significantly
limit our ability to capitalize on any such market opportunity. Our
failure to capitalize on expected market opportunities would
adversely affect revenue growth.
The
lack of operating history and the rapidly changing nature of the
market in which we compete make it difficult to accurately forecast
revenues and operating results. We anticipate that revenues and
operating results might fluctuate in the future due to a number of
factors including the following:
|
|
●
|
the
timing of sales for current services and products
offerings
|
|
|
●
|
the
timing of new product implementations
|
|
|
●
|
unexpected
delays in introducing new services and products
offerings
|
|
|
●
|
increased
expense related to sales and marketing, product development or
administration
|
|
|
●
|
the mix
of products and our services offerings
|
|
|
●
|
costs
related to possible acquisitions of technology or
business.
|
|
|
●
|
costs
of providing services
|
We may be unable to compete with larger, more established
competitors.
The
market for providing network delivered service solutions is
competitive. We expect competition to intensify in the future. Many
of our potential competitors have longer operating histories,
larger customer bases, greater recognition and significantly
greater resources. As a result, competitors may be able to respond
more quickly to emerging technologies and changes in customer
requirements than we can. The continuous and timely introduction of
competitively priced services offerings into the market is critical
to our success, and there can be no assurance that we will be able
to introduce such services offerings. We may not be able to compete
successfully against competitors, and the competitive pressures we
face may have an adverse effect on our business.
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 OTCQB 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 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.
Assuming
all of the shares of common stock held by the selling security
holders registered hereby are sold, we would have 8,018,868 new
shares that are freely tradable and therefor available for sale, in
market or private transactions.
Unrestricted
sales of 8,018,868 shares of stock by our selling stockholders
could have a huge negative impact on our share price, and the
market for our shares.
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 are a reporting company due to the effectiveness of this
registration statement.
We are
subject to the reporting requirements under the Securities and
Exchange Act of 1934, Section 13a, due to the effectiveness of this
offering, pursuant to Section 15d of the Securities Act and we
intend to be registered under Section 12(g). 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.
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.
ITEM 4. USE OF PROCEEDS
We will
not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares being
registered on behalf of our selling shareholder.
We may
raise additional funds through a placement of shares of our common
stock. At this time, there is no committed source for such funds
and we cannot give any assurances of being able to raise such
funds. We will require additional funds to carry out our business
plan. The availability and terms of any future financing will
depend on market and other conditions.
The
monies we have raised thus far from private placements and debt
financing is anticipated to be sufficient to pay all expenses of
this registration statement, which is estimated to be $10,000,
including the initial filing of the Form S-1 registration
statement.
ITEM 5. DETERMINATION OF OFFERING
PRICE
We have
a limited established market for our common stock as quoted on the
OTCQB under the symbol “TPTW.”
Our
selling shareholder plans to sell shares at such market prices as
the market may dictate from time to time or in private
transactions.

“Net
tangible book value” is the amount that results from
subtracting the total liabilities and intangible assets from the
total assets of an entity. Dilution occurs because we determined
the offering price based on factors other than those used in
computing book value of our stock. Dilution exists because the book
value of shares held by existing stockholders is lower than the
offering price offered to new investors.
As of
June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the net tangible book value of
our stock was ($0.036) and ($0.164) per share,
respectively.
ITEM 7. SELLING SECURITY
HOLDERS
The
entity listed in the following table plans to offer the shares
shown opposite its respective name by means of this prospectus. The
owner of the shares to be sold by means of this prospectus are
referred to as the “selling shareholder”. The selling
shareholder acquired their shares in the transaction described
below.
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 trading price preceding the date of the request
for effectiveness after the filing of a registration statement on
form S-1. The Series A Preferred shares are being purchased from
the Michael A. Littman, Atty. Defined Benefit Plan.
Effective September
30, 2020, we entered into a Settlement Agreement to settle
outstanding legal fees due to date in the amount of $74,397 (as
assigned to the Michael A. Littman Atty. Defined Benefit Plan.) The
number of shares to be issued in consideration is to be computed at
the five day average trading price as specified under Rule 474
under the Securities Act of 1933 for the 5 days preceding the date
of the request for acceleration of the effective date of this
registration of our common shares to be issued. (This may also be
fully settled by payment of the sum of $74,397 in cash at any time
prior to the issuance of the shares of stock of the
Company.)
None of
the proceeds of the sale of our common shares will be paid to the
Company. The shares of common stock which are issuable upon the
agreements are being offered by means of this
prospectus.

To our
knowledge, the selling shareholder is affiliated with a securities
broker.
The
selling shareholder will acquire the securities from us in the
ordinary course of business and at the time of the purchase of
these securities the selling shareholder will have no agreements or
understandings, directly or indirectly with any person to
distribute these securities.
Selling
Shareholder does not have, and did not have, any material
relationship with us or our officers or directors other than that
Mr. Littman has acted as securities counsel to the Company since
late 2014 on a continuous basis.
The
shares of common stock to be sold by the selling shareholder may be
sold by means of this prospectus from time to time as market
conditions permit.
The
shares of common stock may be sold by one or more of the following
methods, without limitation:
●
a block trade in
which a broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the
securities as agent but may position and sell a portion of the
block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
●
purchases by a
broker or dealer as principal and resale by such broker or dealer
for its account pursuant to this prospectus;
●
ordinary brokerage
transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits
purchasers; and
●
face-to-face
transactions between sellers and purchasers without a
broker/dealer.
In
completing sales, brokers or dealers engaged by the selling
shareholder may arrange for other brokers or dealers to
participate. Brokers or dealers may receive commissions or
discounts from selling shareholder in amounts to be negotiated. As
to any particular broker-dealer, this compensation might be in
excess of customary commissions. Neither we nor the selling
stockholders can presently estimate the amount of such
compensation. Notwithstanding the above, no FINRA member will
charge commission that exceed 8% of the total proceeds from the
sale.
ITEM 8. PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Upon
effectiveness of this amendment to the registration statement, of
which this prospectus is a part, our existing selling shareholder
may sell the securities at market prices or at any price in
privately negotiated transactions.
Our
selling shareholder may be deemed underwriters in this
offering.
The
selling shareholder is not paying any of the offering expenses and
we will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares
by the selling shareholder.
ITEM 9. DESCRIPTION OF
SECURITIES
The
securities being registered and/or offered by this Prospectus are
common shares.
Common Stock
We are presently authorized to issue one billion (1,000,000,000)
shares of our $0.001 par value common stock. A total of Eight
Hundred Sixty-Five Million, Five Hundred Sixty-Four Thousand, Three
Hundred Seventy-One (865,564,371) common shares are issued and outstanding as of
October 14, 2020.
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
October 14, 2020, 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 and Series D Preferred
Stock.
Series
A Convertible Preferred Stock
In
February 2015, we designated 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock as
Series A Preferred Stock.
The
Series A Preferred Stock was designated in February 2015, has a par
value of $.001, 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. 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 our Company, determined by
the following formula: 60% of the issued and outstanding Common
Shares as computed immediately after the transaction for
conversion. For further clarification, the 60% of the issued and
outstanding common shares includes what the holders of the Series A
Preferred Stock may already hold in common shares at the time of
conversion. The Series A Preferred Stock, collectively, shall have
the right to vote as if converted prior to the vote to an amount of
shares equal to 60% of the outstanding Common Stock of our
Company.
In
February 2015, the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of
1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to Stephen J. Thomas,
III, Chairman, CEO and President of our Company, valued at
$3,117,000 for compensation expense.
Series
B Convertible Preferred Stock
In
February 2015, we designated 3,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock as
Series B Preferred Stock.
The
Series B Preferred Stock was designated in February 2015, has a par
value of $.001, is senior to any other class or series of
outstanding Preferred Stock, except the Series A Preferred Stock,
or Common Stock and does not bear dividends. 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 an equal amount 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 Series B Preferred Stock shares issued and outstanding as
of October 14, 2020.
Series
C Convertible Preferred Stock
In May
2018, the Company designated 3,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock as
Series C Convertible Preferred Stock.
The
Series C Preferred Stock was designated in May 2018, has a par
value of $.001, is senior to any other class or series of
outstanding Preferred Stock, except the Series A and Series B
Preferred Stock, or Common Stock and does not bear dividends. The
Series C Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference immediately
after any Senior Securities, as defined and currently the Series A
and B Preferred Stock, and of an amount equal to $2.00 per share.
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 amount of common shares at the conversion price of $0.15 per
share. The Series C 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 no shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock
outstanding as of October 12, 2020.
Series
D Convertible Preferred Stock
On June 15, 2020, TPT Global Tech, Inc. ("the Company") filed an
Amendment to its Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation to
designate the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock. The Amendment
to the Amendment amends the Series D designation to designate
10,000,000 shares of the authorized 100,000,000 shares of the
Company's $0.001 par value preferred stock as the Series D
Convertible Preferred Stock ("the Series D Preferred
Shares.")
As of
the date hereof, there are no Series D Preferred shares outstanding
as amended. Series D Preferred shares have the following features:
(i) 6% Cumulative Annual Dividends payable on the purchase value in
cash or common stock of the Company at the discretion of the Board
and payment is also at the discretion of the Board, which may
decide to cumulate to future years; (ii) Any time after 18 months
from issuance an option to convert to common stock at the election
of the holder @ 80% of the 30 day average market closing price (for
previous 30 business days) divided into $5.00; (iii) Automatic
conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock shall occur 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 on a one for one
basis, which shall be post-reverse split as may be necessary
for any Exchange listing (iv) Registration Rights – the
Company has granted Piggyback Registration Rights for common stock
underlying conversion rights in the event it files any other
Registration Statement (other than an S-1 that the Company may file
for certain conversion common shares for the convertible note
financing that was arranged and funded in 2019). Further, the
Company will file and pursue to effectiveness a Registration
Statement or offering statement for common stock underlying the
Automatic Conversion event triggered by an exchange listing. (v)
Liquidation Rights - $5.00 per share plus any accrued unpaid
dividends – subordinate to Series A, B, and C Preferred Stock
receiving full liquidation under the terms of such series. The
Company has redemption rights for the first year following the
Issuance Date to redeem all or part of the principal amount of the
Series D Preferred Stock at between 115% and 140%.

October 14, 2017, we adopted the 2017 TPT Global Tech, Inc. Stock

TPT SpeedConnect: ISP and Telecom
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, TPT SpeedConnect is one of the nation’s
largest rural wireless broadband Internet providers which serves
approximately 15,000 residential and commercial wireless broadband
Internet customers, in Arizona, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan,
Montana, Nebraska, South Dakota and Texas.
SpeedConnect
is a full-service ISP. The company’s Frankenmuth Michigan
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
residential and commercial Internet customers over its 220-cellular
tower foot-print across 10 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;
Great Lakes Data Systems, 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.
TPT MedTech, LLC – Medical Division
TPT
MedTech believes it is strategically positioned to take advantage
of the current trend in Point of Care Testing (“POCT”)
by aligning itself with the exponential growth of smart devices
equipped with mobile healthcare (mH), which may revolutionize
personalized healthcare monitoring and management, thereby paving
the way for next-generation POCT.
The
rapid turnaround times, improved decision times, and time-critical
decision-making of TPT MedTech QuikLAB can result in total savings
between 8-20% of laboratory costs for facilities that implement POC
testing. The savings realized due to the decreased cost of waiting
for results can be as much as $260 USD per patient. For those that
use and implement POC testing, waiting can improve by as much as 46
minutes per patient real-time scenarios—and days in standard
laboratory settings. Management believes TPT MedTech
QuikLAB is uniquely positioned to serve this growing
market.
SANIQuik is
a decontamination and sanitizing unit that TPT MedTech
intends to co-market with the QuikLAB
mobile laboratory as an integrated solution to certain issues
arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. SANIQuik uses
hypochlorous acid as a spray mist. This chemical has been safely
used on many food products for decades. Hypochlorous acid does not
cause irritation to eyes and skin. Even if it were ingested it
causes no harm. Because it is so safe, it is the ideal sanitizer
for direct food sanitation and food contact surfaces. It is also
ideal in healthcare where it is used for wound cleansing, eye
drops, and patient room disinfection replacing toxic chemicals such
as bleach and quaternary ammonium salts. Hypochlorous acid is FDA,
USDA, and EPA approved to minimize microbial food safety hazards of
fresh-cut fruits and vegetables. (See https://www.hypochlorousacid.com/about.)
TPT
MedTech believes the SANIQuik external sanitation is safe,
effective and flexible for its utilization with options for users.
TPT MedTech intends to provide optional masks to users as they
approach the SANIQuik. The mask provides a cover around inhalation
of the mist. External sanitation is safe and effective, providing
an additional routine to hand washing and facial
coverings.
TPT
MedTech has developed a business model which markets SANIQuik as a
novel product within the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
industry. This PPE distribution model is focused in the Federal
procurement space (Veteran’s Administration, Department of
Defense, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Centers for Disease
Control, National Guard) as well as vendor to the top 20 National
Hospital Group Purchasing Organizations (GPO).
TPT MedTech will be requesting Emergency Use Authorization (EUA)
from the FDA for SANIQuik during the COVID-19 pandemic, which has
been granted to other sanitizing units. SANIQuik already has the
European CE mark. For attorney fees and consultants, we
are estimating $50,000 for the EUA.
Technology Company Overview
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. We operate as a Media Content Hub for
Domestic and International syndication,
Technology/Telecommunications company using on our own proprietary
Global Digital Media TV and Telecommunications infrastructure
platform and we also provides technology solutions to businesses
worldwide. We offer Software as a Service (SaaS), Technology
Platform as a Service (PAAS), Cloud-based Unified Communication as
a Service (UCaaS) and carrier-grade performance and support for
businesses over our private IP MPLS fiber and wireless network in
the United States. Our cloud-based UCaaS services allow businesses
of any size to enjoy all the latest voice, data, media and
collaboration features in today's global technology markets. We
also operate as a Master Distributor for Nationwide Mobile Virtual
Network Operators (MVNO) and Independent Sales Organization (ISO)
as a Master Distributor for Pre-Paid Cellphone services, Mobile
phones, Cellphone Accessories and Global Roaming
Cellphones.
Our
technologies “Gathers Big Data” to predict our
customers’ viewing and spending habits. We then deliver
Products and Services to support that estimated demand and share
advertising revenues with our Content, Digital Media and Linear
Broadcast Partners worldwide.
Each of
our four divisions contributes to the launch of our global Content
delivery platform “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 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
delivered that content over our proprietary Mobile TV Platform on
our proprietary Trucom Telecommunication Network infrastructure
domestically and internationally.
Our
corporate goal is to work within our four in house divisions
(Smartphone, Network, Content and SaaS) to launch hardware sales
and build a viewer subscriber base domestically and
internationally. This edge device deployment would deliver free
Content, free Linear Broadcast feeds and Social Media features on
our Free proprietary Mobile app platform with the anticipation to
aggregate and showcase our original and third-party Content,
Digital Media and Linear broadcast feeds from and too the four
corners of the Globe.
All of
the back technology or features for ViewMe Live have been developed
and we anticipate spending an additional $2,000,000 USD to complete
the front-end features which we believe, depending on our funding
event, will be six to twelve months.
We have
generated revenues in 2019 and 2018, primarily through operating as
a Facilities Based Telecommunications Competitive Local Exchange
Carrier (“CLEC”) in Arizona and as a Broadband Internet
provider. The company currently operates an 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 services 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
15,000 residential and commercial wireless broadband Internet
customers, in Arizona, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Montana,
Nebraska, South Dakota 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 TV Broadcast and Social
Media Platform utilizing a Mobile App technology on our proprietary
Content Delivery Network. We plan to expand our Cloud Unified
Business Services (CUBS) technology-based business services
unifying multiple services from the cloud.
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.
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 ViewMe Live from
Matrixsites, we have acquired the live backend broadcast Network
technology for our Global Mobile TV and Social Media platform.
Subject to raising capital ($2,000,000) from our fund-raising
activities we believe we are six to twelve months from completing
the frontend development component to launch its “ViewMe
Live” Mobile APP delivery platform.
Liquidity and Capital Resource Needs
We
anticipate needing an estimated $45,000,000 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.

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.
RECENT ACQUISITIONS/FORMATIONS OF OPERATING
DIVISIONS/SUBSIDIARIES
Bridge Internet, LLC Acquisition
On

Agreement (“Agreement”) dated March 6, 2020 with Bridge

issued to Sydney “Trip” Camper immediately and
4,000,000 common shares which vest equally over two years. As

Bridge
Internet offers a Joint Venture (JV) business model to
Municipalities, Cooperatives and Individual Territory Owners
throughout the United States. It currently has no revenues. As a

is a unique opportunity for potential JV partners to join an
incredible revenue sharing business model. It is very easy for
Municipalities, Cooperatives or Individual Owners to start JV
businesses with Bridge Internet to provide their communities with
state-of-the-art High-Speed Internet, Voice and IPTV services. The
internet is a commodity many take for granted but for those with
limited access every day is an unnecessary struggle. With millions
of rural Americans struggling to find a reliable internet provider,
Bridge Internet will help make a difference in people’s lives
by providing access to online classes, healthcare, news and
entertainment.

Majority Preferred Stock that was valued at $350,000 by management
and issued to a third party in exchange for legal services. The
Series A Super Majority Preferred Stock was exchanged with TPT for
TPT common stock, expected to be approximately seven million
shares. The actual shares will be determined upon the SEC
qualifying a Form S-1 registering these shares and a calculation
that is dependent on a 5 day average price of TPT’s common
stock.
EPIC
Reference Labs, Inc. Acquisition
On August 6, 2020, TPT MedTech signed a binding letter of intent
with Rennova to acquire EPIC Reference Labs, Inc.
(“EPIC”), wholly owned subsidiary of Rennova, for
$750,000, comprised of a deposit of $25,000 within five days of
signing and the remainder due either from 20% of net proceeds
received from fund raising that the Company has initiated and as
evidence by SEC Filings or a minimum payment of $25,000 per month
until paid in full. The first $25,000 payment has been made. All
defined laboratory equipment and a $100,000 lease deposit were
excluded from the sales price. All liabilities incurred up to
signing are to be discharged. Receivables existing at signing are
to be 100% ownership of Rennova. There are no other significant
assets. This acquisition will allow TPT MedTech to own a license to
operate medical testing facilities.
EPIC is a high complexity clinical laboratory located in West Palm
Beach, Florida. The binding letter of intent includes EPIC’s
current CLIA certificate of registration that enables TPT
MedTech’s Mobile QuikLabs to operate in 46 US States
delivering rapid Covid-19 Point-of-Care testing and monitoring.
Closing of the acquisition is subject to normal change of ownership
application and notification to certain regulatory and licensing
bodies. Until the change of ownership is complete, Rennova will
operate the laboratory under Management agreement dated August 6,
2020 between TPT MedTech, LLC and Rennova.
QuikLAB Mobile Laboratory
In July and August 2020, the Company formed Quiklab 1 LLC, QuikLAB
2, LLC, QuikLAB 3, LLC and QuikLAB 4, LLC. It is the intent to use
these entities as vehicles into which third parties would invest
and participate in owning QuikLAB Mobile Laboratories. Thusfar,
Quiklab 1 LLC and QuikLAB 3, LLC have received an investment of
$360,000 for which it will benefit from owning 20% of three QuikLAB
Mobile Laboratories.
Our Business Methods
Centralized Platform and New Generation Network
We are
now operating a next-generation broadband network reselling other
companies’ networks on a wholesale arbitrage basis (buying
and reselling other companies’ capacity) on our centralized
VIVO Platform. We are 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 are able to offer our clients products and
services at an attractive pricing structure, creating a strong
competitive advantage. Based on our low network operating costs and
low-cost infrastructure, we believe we may penetrate emerging
markets with little network build-out and at a reasonable price.
Management believes 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 VIVO billing 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.

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

TPT SpeedConnect
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
15,000 residential and commercial wireless broadband Internet
customers, in Arizona, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Montana,
Nebraska, South Dakota and Texas.
TPT
SpeedConnect is a full-service ISP. The company’s Frankenmuth
Michigan 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,

16,000 residential and commercial Internet customers over its
220-cellular tower foot-print across 10 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;
Great Lakes Data Systems, 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.
CORPORATE ORGANIZATION CHART
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
RENNOVA HEALTH, INC.
On June
10, 2020, we entered into
an agreement with Rennova Health, Inc. (“Rennova
Health”) to merge Rennova Health’s software and
genetic testing interpretation divisions, Health Technology
Solutions, Inc. (“HTS”) and Advanced Molecular Services
Group, Inc., (“AMSG”) into InnovaQor after
InnovaQor’s merger with Southern Plains Oil Corp. (See
InnovaQor Merger with Southern Plains below)
The
parties anticipate the steps as defined in the agreement to be
completed in the 4th quarter of 2020 resulting in the merged
companies being called InnovaQor, Inc. and filing whatever
documents are required to be a fully reporting public company. The
resulting fully reporting public company (“New
InnovaQor”) will own certain assets and technology from
TPT’s proprietary live streaming communication technology and
the technology and software developed and owned by HTS and AMSG.
The combination of these fully developed assets will facilitate the
creation of a next generation telehealth type platform. This
platform will combine telehealth with EHR like capabilities and
facilitate a patient’s immediate access to healthcare
including their local hospital or doctors, for initial
consultation, scheduling of appointments and follow on
care.
Completion
of the agreement is subject to a number of approvals and consents
which need to be secured to complete the transaction. Our
shareholders will receive 6M common shares in New InnovaQor. Our
intent is to distribute 2.5M of these common shares to TPT
shareholders at a date to be determined in the future. Rennova
Health will receive 1M
Class A Supermajority Voting Preferred Shares, as well as 2.2M of
Series B non-voting shares, except in certain circumstances, with
certain designation rights, lock up agreements and other
specifications as outlined in the agreement in return for the
equity in HTS and AMSG. All debts and liabilities of HTS and AMSG
owed to Rennova Health of approximately $22M will be eliminated as
part of the equity issuance in New InnovaQor. We will end up
with a minority interest in New InnovaQor. Rennova Health will be
responsible to appoint management to the project. It is intended
that 1M common shares will vest to management. There can be no
assurance that the transaction as described will close successfully
or that terms including numbers or values for consideration shares
will not change significantly before closing.
By way of this merger, we will deliver to New InnovaQor a
standalone backend and front-end telemedicine technology platform
utilizing code from TPTW’s TV and Social Media Platform. We
are also to grant to New InnovaQor a license to utilize and further
develop a portion of TPTW’s Streaming Platform to create a
telemedicine application for InnovaQor. This is estimated to cost
approximately $3.5M, which New InnovaQor will pay to us as a
licensing deal outlined in the agreement.
Rennova
Health is a vertically integrated provider of industry-leading
diagnostics and supportive software solutions to healthcare
providers that has transitioned its core business from diagnostics
to rural hospital ownership over the past three years.

August 1, 2020, InnovaQor,
a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Merger
Agreement with the publicly traded company Southern Plains Oil

CORPORATE MARKETING STRATEGY
Our
corporate strategy in expanding our operations and potential
product and service streams is as follows.
MARKETING
OBJECTIVE:
Establish
our brand as a competitive service and product provider in the
communications industry.
ADVERTISING
OBJECTIVE:
To
create top of mind brand awareness and emotional relevance
resulting: TPT Global Tech, Inc. being the preferred and requested
product line of products in the industry.
SALES
& MERCHANDISING OBJECTIVES:
Our
distributor will use direct selling efforts. Their efforts will be
supported with our marketing, advertising, and merchandising
programs. The primary task will be to increase the sales through
retail channels.
PURSUE
BRAND RECOGNITION THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES
The
first marketing objective must be to refine our brand and secure
our place in the minds of the consumers. This will be accomplished
through the execution of an integrated branding, identity and
services marketing programs. The goals for this segment will be an
enhanced brand identity, a brand applications and a digital assets
suite.
MARKETING STRATEGY
Our
plan includes a direct sales program targeting businesses, small
business and home office users of communications. The direct sales
efforts will be supported with third party marketing integration.
To further enhance the sales process, we will offer an offering
program including services and product sheets, coupons, point of
sale materials (banners, shelf talkers, and end cap displays and
danglers) and internet marketing programs.
Based
on the above benefit scenarios, we plan to seize the following
opportunities:
●
Build superior
brand recognition and become recognized as a category
leader.
●
Expand the US
distribution into all states.
●
Establish
distribution internationally.
●
Establish and
manage a knowledgeable team of account executives with industry
experience.
●
Create a retail
merchandising program that will build a strong market
share.
The
purpose of our marketing efforts is to move the product sales from
their current position into the rapid growing
“popularity” stage. Our strategy includes the following
marketing programs: Branding; Merchandising; Direct; Display
Advertising; Media; Public Relations; Publicity; Events; Investor
Relations; Metrics Dashboard; and, Personal Sales. Our objective is
to gain the sales momentum required to reach the “brand
preference” stage of product growth as soon as possible. This
is the stage where we plan sales grow at a steady and stabilized
pace.
THE DIRECT MARKETING PROGRAM
A
complete direct marketing program including direct mail, blast
email and URLs may be used to introduce the products to new
customers and secure leads for the sales team. We plan to employ
the services of a database marketing company to leverage techniques
to target prospective clients and reinforce product messages
throughout the selling process. This process will commence with the
modeling of our existing customer data and the analysis of the
results using sophisticated analytic tools. Cross-channel marketing
will be utilized in conjunction with the direct marketing including
social marketing. Our focus of this marketing medium will be
relevance and timing, which only this medium can provide full
control over and the ability to fully quantify the
results.
THE MEDIA MARKETING PROGRAM
We
intend to test several media options to determine which, if any,
effectively drive sales and sales leads. The mediums being consider
include outdoor advertising, both static and mobile, magazine ads,
and radio spots. Other media to be explored are direct mail post
cards and emails to opt in viewers.
THE PUBLIC RELATIONS/PUBLICITY PROGRAM
We plan
to employ the services of a public relations firm to build a
corporate profile to keep the name and the services and products in
front of consumers. A third-party PR firm will be responsible for
writing and publishing press releases, coordinating event marketing
and managing investor relations.
We
employ marketing, sales and customer service personnel on an as
needed basis for specific events to build brand awareness. We use a
range of marketing strategies and tactics to build our brand and
increase sales, including point-
of-sale
materials, event sponsorship, in-store and on-premise promotions,
public relations, and a variety of other traditional and
non-traditional marketing techniques to support the sales of all of
our products.
We
believe that a marketing mix of event promotions, social media,
print advertising in local media and internet advertising providing
information and samples of our products at social events is a
strategy that may help increase sales.
TARGET CUSTOMER
We plan
to profile our existing customers and create a sophisticated data
model to mathematically and statistically identify our
“ideal” customer. Further the model will be used to
learn exactly how the target customer wishes to be communicated
with and marketed to.
THE INTERNATIONAL MARKET
We plan
to market our product internationally. Many of the current products
offered by us have features for the international community. This
will be a secondary but strong focus by our marketing
team.
EXPERIENCED MANAGEMENT
Our
senior management team has over 30 years of experience in the
various consumer product industries and has a proven track record
of creating value both organically and through strategic
acquisitions. Our management intends to utilize the best available
and fit-for-purpose technology and experienced contractors to
improve production and expand distribution.
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 Calling Card and PIN-less Prepaid services).
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 Cyber LIVE Mobile TV broadcast
network, ViewMe Live. The ViewMe Live Network™ is a 24-hour
LIVE worldwide mobile TV network, delivered via iOS and Android
apps. The ViewMe 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.
DEVELOPMENT
FLOW CHART
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 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.
Scalability and Cost Efficiency
Our
proprietary Software Access System platform currently runs our
global operations. In short, it does this by connecting our
customer base with the most profitable vendor route while
calculating least cost routing, analyzing route quality, and
respecting “dipping” protocols. Based on the demand, we
have the ability to scale to meet the needs of our customers.
Comparable “off the shelf” software systems in the

Marketing Designs
We have
designed our services and products offered to be:
|
|
●
|
Portable. We offer the ability to access our network from
anywhere within our coverage area without being restricted to a
specific location.
|
|
|
●
|
Simple. Our services are easy to install. After connecting
our modem to an ATA or computer and a power source, our wireless
broadband service is immediately available and requires no software
installation.
|
|
|
●
|
Fast. We offer speeds that typically exceed legacy cellular
networks and are competitive with fixed broadband
offerings.
|
|
|
●
|
A Good Value. We generally price our services competitively
because our costs to build and operate our network are
significantly lower than the networks operated by many of our
competitors.
|
With
the popularity of social media, people are demanding fast broadband
connectivity on an increasingly mobile basis. We believe that our
services meet this demand and will market this in our efforts to
increase our subscriber growth rate.
OUR COMPANY STRENGTHS
We
believe the following competitive strengths enable us to meet the
demand for simple, reliable and portable wireless broadband
connectivity:
●
First mover. We are the
first company we are aware of to launch a Global Cyber Mobile TV
and Social Media Network that incorporates functional feature of
the largest Digital Media companies in the world.
●
High barriers to entry. Our
issued and pending patents, as well as our proprietary Media
platforms and Naked Eye 3D technology trade secrets give us a
strong intellectual property position that we believe creates a
significant barrier to entry for potential competitors.
●
Broad range of applications for our
platform. This allows us to build a deep new product
pipeline that creates multiple paths to build a large and
profitable business.
●
Multi-billion-dollar addressable
market. U.S. digital advertising revenues rose to $26.2
billion in the third quarter of 2018, solidifying 2018’s
claim as the highest-spending first three quarters on record,
according to the latest IAB Internet Advertising Revenue Report
released today by IAB and prepared by PwC US. Digital spend for Q3
2018 estimates increased 20.6 percent over Q3 2017. In total,
marketers spent $75.8 billion during 2018’s first three
quarters—22 percent more than they had spent during the same
period a year ago.
https://iab.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/IAB_Internet-Ad-Revenue-Report-Q3-2018_2019-02-14_FINAL-1.pdf
●
Diverse revenue streams including
Digital Media partnerships. We anticipate generating
significant revenue from our Digital Media platforms. Our Linear
Broadcast partners will play a large part in generating revenues
from the sale of mobile and social media advertising.
●
Strong senior leadership
team. Our founders and senior leaders have experience in
building and operating several companies in our business areas. We
have phone, network, content, SaaS, product development, and
commercialization experience that has enabled us to establish
market leadership positions for the companies where we previously
were employed.
●
Differentiated Services. We
believe our service is unique because of our combination of our
Worldwide Operational Platform, Worldwide Affiliates, Cutting Edge
Technology, Portability, Simplicity and Speed to Market with a
competitive domestic and International Price Structure. We believe
this combination of factors differentiates our subscriber’s
experience when compared to broadband services provided by DSL,
cable modem, wireless third-generation or 3G, networks.
●
Strong Spectrum Position. We
use unlicensed and licensed spectrum (in Arizona), which avoids
radio frequency interference that hinders competitors using
non-licensed spectrum, such as WiFi network operators. Access to
spectrum is a fundamental barrier to entry for the delivery of
high-quality wireless communications. Through our partnerships, we
believe that we have access to the second largest spectrum position
in our band within the United States.
●
Advanced, Scalable
Technology. Because we intend
to design our own software and equipment, we can refine our product
development roadmap to meet our subscriber’s needs. We
believe our NLOS, IP-based Ethernet architecture and compression
technology confers competitive advantages since it simplifies both
network deployment and customer use while supporting a broad range
of potential premium services.
●
Efficient Economic Model. We
believe our individual market economic model is characterized by
low fixed capital and operating expenditures relative to other
wireless and wire line broadband service providers. We believe our
individual market model is highly scalable and replicable across
our markets. As our capabilities evolve, we expect to generate
incremental revenue streams from our subscriber base by developing
and offering premium products and services.
●
Experienced Management Team.
Stephen J. Thomas, our Founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive
Officer, has been an active entrepreneur, operator and investor in
the industry for more than 17 years in VoIP and wireless
communications industry. He previously served as Director of
Network Optimization/Validation for WorldxChange,
Inc. and CEO and President of New Orbit Communications, Inc., which
focused on International Operator Services in United States,
Mexico, El Salvador and Guatemala.
FUTURE PLANS
TPT MedTech
The
point-of-care diagnostics or testing (POCD or POCT) market is
projected to reach USD $46.7 billion by 2024 from USD $28.5 billion
in 2019, at a CAGR of 10.4%. Factors such as the high prevalence of
infectious diseases in developing countries, increasing incidence
of target conditions, growing government support, and rising
preference for home healthcare across the globe are driving the
growth of the market. However, product recalls, a lack of alignment
with test results obtained from laboratories, stringent &
time-consuming approval policies, and a reluctance to change
existing diagnostic practices are expected to restrain market
growth. https://www.marketsandmarkets.com/Market-Reports/point-of-care-diagnostic-market-106829185.html
The
global COVID-19 diagnostics market size was valued at USD $5.2
billion in 2020 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth
rate (CAGR) of 5.96% from 2021 to 2027. The COVID-19 diagnostic
tests are critical in the management of the current pandemic for
accurate diagnosis as well as to tackle the spread of the
infection. As a result, with the growing demand, these tests are
being made available with over 600 SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic tests
either approved or in the development phase for clinical use.
Therefore, an increase in need for developing diagnostic tests is
anticipated to drive the market growth. For efficient and accurate
COVID-19 diagnosis, clinicians need a portable or an on-site
diagnostic test for real-time management of patients in minimal
time. This has encouraged the adoption of Point-of-Care testing
(POCT) for diagnosis, primarily aimed at reducing the assay
duration from hours to a few minutes. https://www.grandviewresearch.com/industry-analysis/covid-19-diagnostics-market.
https://www.marketwatch.com/press-release/covid-19-diagnostics-market-by-development-trends-investigation-2020-and-forecast-to-2027-2020-06-17
TPT
MedTech believes it is strategically positioned to take advantage
of the current trend in POCT by aligning itself with the
exponential growth of smart devices equipped with mobile healthcare
(mH), which may revolutionize personalized healthcare monitoring
and management, thereby paving the way for next-generation
POCT.
The
rapid turnaround times, improved decision times, and time-critical
decision-making of TPT MedTech QuikLAB can result in total savings
between 8-20% of laboratory costs for facilities that implement POC
testing. The savings realized due to the decreased cost of waiting
for results can be as much as $260 USD per patient. For those that
use and implement POC testing, waiting can improve by as much as 46
minutes per patient real-time scenarios—and days in standard
laboratory settings. Management believes TPT MedTech
QuikLAB is uniquely positioned to serve this growing
market.
SANIQuik
is a decontamination and sanitizing unit that TPT MedTech intends
to co-market with the QuikLAB mobile laboratory as an integrated
solution to certain issues arising in the COVID-19 pandemic.
SANIQuik uses hypochlorous acid as a spray mist. This chemical has
been safely used on many food products for decades. Hypochlorous
acid does not cause irritation to eyes and skin. Even if it were
ingested it causes no harm. Because it is so safe, it is the ideal
sanitizer for direct food sanitation and food contact surfaces. It
is also ideal in healthcare where it is used for wound cleansing,
eye drops, and patient room disinfection replacing toxic chemicals
such as bleach and quaternary ammonium salts. Hypochlorous acid is
FDA, USDA, and EPA approved to minimize microbial food safety
hazards of fresh-cut fruits and vegetables.
(See https://www.hypochlorousacid.com/about.)
TPT
MedTech believes the SANIQuik external sanitation is safe,
effective and flexible for its utilization with options for users.
TPT MedTech intends to provide optional masks to users as they
approach the SANIQuik. The mask provides a cover around inhalation
of the mist. External sanitation is safe and effective, providing
an additional routine to hand washing and facial
coverings.
TPT
MedTech has developed a business model which markets SANIQuik as a
novel product within the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
industry. This PPE distribution model is focused in the Federal
procurement space (Veteran’s Administration, Department of
Defense, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Centers for Disease
Control, National Guard) as well as vendor to the top 20 National
Hospital Group Purchasing Organizations (GPO).
TPT
MedTech will be requesting Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) from
the FDA for SANIQuik during the COVID-19 pandemic, which has been
granted to other sanitizing units. SANIQuik already has the
European CE mark. For
attorney fees and consultants, we are estimating $50,000 for the
EUA.
Lion Smart Phone Product
We are
currently seeking a manufacturer for our Lion Smart Phone. Our
Management believes our patent pending Lion smart phone is the
first Full HD Naked Eye 3D
smart phone ever launched in the United States. Lion
Universe’s mobile 3D technology is patent pending. The smart
phone will be distributed through our wholly-owned subsidiary
K-TEL, in their existing brick and mortar distribution channel in
the Northwest expanding into other areas. It is anticipated that a
national and international roll out will soon follow. TPTW is
building industry leading personal cellular phones designed for a
wide appeal. With a business model built on innovation and progress
starting with the Lion Phone technology, we intend to produce
high-quality and easy-to-use cellular phones. Our Lion Phone was
designed for consumers looking for portable and affordable
cutting-edge technology. Our first-generation phones come equipped
with full high definition resolution screen for better viewing. We
believe this Full HD Naked Eye 3D smart Phone is perfect for
watching movies, playing games, even editing photos or
videos.
Whether
that is looking at photos, playing music, emailing or surfing the
web, our management believes consumers want more from their phones.
We believe our Lion Phone raises the bar for cellular phones. For
the first time ever, cellular users can enjoy quality 3D viewing
with the naked eyes no glasses required enjoying full high
definition video with smooth playback.
Our
Management believes consumers have been waiting for a way to watch
their favorite movies in 3D, with the convenience of their phone
and gamers can have the leisure of playing their games without
taking head gear with them. Our Lion Universe Technology strives to
give customers the best possible experience with our Full HD Naked
Eye 3D smart phone in the US and Global markets.
We
understand the longer we wait the less advantage we might have in
our efforts to market this phone as the marketplace moves very
quickly. We intend to begin marketing this phone in
2021.
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. It is predicted that mobile
advertising will account for 30.5% of global advertising
expenditure in 2020, up from 19.2% in 2017. Expenditure on
mobile advertising will total US$187bn in 2020, more than
twice the US$88bn spent on desktop advertising, and just
US$5bn behind the US$192bn spent on television advertising. At
the current rate of growth, mobile advertising will
comfortably overtake television in 2021.
As
internet users switch from desktop to mobile devices
– and new users go straight to mobile – online
advertising is making the same switch. Advertising on mobile
devices is rising at a meteoric rate and is taking market
share from most other media. Mobile ad spend grew 35% in 2017,
and we expect it to grow at an average rate of 21% a year
to 2020. https://www.zenithmedia.com/insights/global-intelligence-issue-06-2018/mobile-share-of-advertising-market-to-exceed-30-in-2020/
Content Mining Plan
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 ViewMe Live Technology Plan
We
offer VML technology for which we plan to expand marketing. We
believe SaaS ViewMe Live (VML) could become a leading Digital Media
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. VML addresses global mobile distribution of LIVE and Video
on Demand (“VOD”) content as a white label Software as
a Service (“SaaS”).
VML 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 VML, 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 VML 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
VML is simple and cost effective, as long as there is a cellular
connection on a 3G network or higher (regardless of provider)[1].
VML 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. VML 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. VML also has the capability to do
a Live Linear Broadcast with VOD.VML’s technology has the
potential to reduce web content pirating since high quality TV
broadcast is now easily accessed worldwide on mobile
devices.
Currently,
we believe we are the only company that does all the above in the
industry and we believe VML has the potential to expand our
technologies and applications even further.
[1]
Subject to the laws and regulations of each country.
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. ViewMe Live (“VML”) 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.
VML’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.
VML’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 VML can help from telecommunication companies to
TV station broadcasters to digital film libraries.
VML 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. VML 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 VML, 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.
Our differentiation from web streaming
We are
not a website-based video streaming technology. VML 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 VML 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. VML 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 VML 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.
VML can
provide low--powered TV stations (after 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
business is subject to a number of risks of which you should be
aware before making an investment decision. These risks are
discussed more fully in the “Risk Factors” section of
this prospectus immediately following this the
summary.
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.

COMPETITION, COMPETITORS, REGULATION AND TAXATION
Competition
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.
Our
competitors for providing integrated data, broadband, voice
services and other data 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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Factors.”

Our
executive offices are located in San Diego, California. We do not
own any real property, but lease and office space consisting of
approximately 27,000 sq. ft. among all of our corporate and
subsidiary locations. We believe that substantially all of our
property and equipment is in good condition, subject to normal wear
and tear, and that our facilities have sufficient capacity to meet
the current needs of our business.
PATENTS,
TRADE NAMES, TRADEMARKS AND COPYRIGHTS
Either
directly or through our subsidiaries, we have rights in various
patents, trade names, trademarks, copyrights and other intellectual
property necessary to conduct our business. Our services often use
the intellectual property of others, including licensed software.
We also occasionally license our intellectual property to others as
we deem appropriate. Please see Patent Assignment attached as
Exhibit 99.2 to this Registration Statement.
We
periodically receive offers from third parties to purchase or
obtain licenses for patents and other intellectual property rights
in exchange for royalties or other payments. We also periodically
receive notices, or are named in lawsuits, alleging that our
products or services infringe on patents or other intellectual
property rights of third parties. In certain instances, these
matters can potentially adversely impact our operations, operating
results or financial position. For additional information, see
“Risk Factors”.
c. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We may
be subject to various claims and legal actions arising in the
ordinary course of business from time to time. We believe that the
ultimate resolution of these matters, whether individually or in
the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our
business, prospects, financial condition and results of
operations.
The
Company has been named in a lawsuit by a former employee who was
terminated by management in 2016. The employee was working under an
employment agreement but was terminated for breach of the
agreement. The former employee is suing for breach of contract and
is seeking around $75,000 in back pay and benefits. Management
believes it has good and meritorious defenses and does not believe
the outcome of the lawsuit will have any material effect on the
financial position of the Company.
As of
June 30, 2020, the Company has collected $338,725 from one customer
in excess of amounts due from that customer in accordance with the
customer’s understanding of the appropriate billings
activity. The customer has filed a written demand for repayment by
the Company of amounts owed. Management believes that the customer
agreement allows them to keep the amounts under dispute. Given the
dispute, the Company has reflected the amounts in dispute as a
customer liability on the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30,
2020 and December 31, 2019 and does not believe the outcome of the
dispute will have a material effect on the financial position of
the Company.
Although
we have not been served, we are aware that the Company has 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 is beginning
to review the lawsuit but does not believe at this time that any
negative outcome would result in more than the $589,858 is has
recorded on its balance sheet as of September 30,
2020.

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 OTCQB under the symbol
TPTW.
Quotations
on the OTCQB 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
October 14, 2020, we have 434 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.
As of
October 14, 2020, our shareholders hold 865,564,371 shares. Additionally, 8,661,163
shares will be issued and may be sold pursuant to this Registration
Statement.
Dividends
As of
the filing of this prospectus, we have not paid any dividends on
our common stock to shareholders. The Series D 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. 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.

NOTES
TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE
30, 2020
NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations
The
Company was originally incorporated in 1988 in the state of
Florida. TPT Global, Inc., a Nevada corporation formed in June
2014, merged with Ally Pharma US, Inc., a Florida corporation,
(“Ally Pharma”, formerly known as Gold Royalty
Corporation) in a “reverse merger” wherein Ally Pharma
issued 110,000,000 shares of Common Stock, or 80% ownership, to the
owners of TPT Global, Inc. in exchange for all outstanding common
stock of TPT Global Inc. and Ally Pharma agreed to change its name
to TPT Global Tech, Inc. (jointly referred to as “the
Company” or “TPTG”).
The
following acquisitions have resulted in entities which have been
consolidated into TPTG. In 2014 the Company acquired all the assets
of K Telecom and Wireless LLC (“K Telecom”) and Global
Telecom International LLC (“Global Telecom”). Effective
January 31, 2015, TPTG completed its acquisition of 100% of the
outstanding stock of Copperhead Digital Holdings, Inc.
(“Copperhead Digital”) and Subsidiaries, TruCom, LLC
(“TruCom”), Nevada Utilities, Inc. (“Nevada
Utilities”) and CityNet Arizona, LLC (“CityNet”).
Effective September 30, 2016, the company acquired 100% ownership
in San Diego Media Inc. (“SDM”). In October 2017, we
entered into agreements to acquire Blue Collar, Inc. (“Blue
Collar”) which closed as of September 1, 2018. On May 7, 2019
we completed the acquisition of a majority of the assets of
SpeedConnect, LLC, which assets were conveyed into our wholly owned
subsidiary TPT SpeedConnect, LLC (“TPT SC” or
“TPT SpeedConnect”) which was formed on April 16, 2019.
On January 8, 2020 we formed TPT Federal, LLC (“TPT
Federal”), on March 7, 2020 we acquired 75% interest in
Bridge Internet, LLC (“Bridge Internet” or
“BIC”), On March 30, 2020 we formed TPT MedTech, LLC
(“TPT MedTech”) and on June 6, 2020 we formed
InnovaQor, Inc (“InnovaQor”).
We are
based in San Diego, California, and operate as a Media Content Hub
for Domestic and International syndication
Technology/Telecommunications company operating on our own
proprietary Global Digital Media TV and Telecommunications
infrastructure platform and also provide technology solutions to
businesses domestically and worldwide. We are a rural Broadband
Wireless Access (BWA) provider, Software as a Service (SaaS),

Roaming Cellphones. In addition, we create media marketing
materials and content.
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 and six months
ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the year ending December 31,
2020.
These
condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. The condensed
consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2020, has been derived from
the consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not
include all of the information and footnotes required by
GAAP.
Our
condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
K Telecom, Copperhead Digital, SDM, Blue Collar, TPT SpeedConnect,
BIC, TPT Federal, TPT MedTech and InnovaQor. All intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Consideration has also been given to the minority interest of 25%
in BIC.
Revenue Recognition
On
January 1, 2018, we adopted the new accounting standard ASC
606, Revenue from Contracts
with Customers, and all of the related amendments
(“new revenue standard”). We recorded the change, which
was immaterial, related to adopting the new revenue standard using
the modified retrospective method. Under this method, we recognized
the cumulative effect of initially applying the new revenue
standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained
earnings. This results in no restatement of prior periods, which
continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect
for those periods. We expect the impact of the adoption of the new
revenue standard to continue to be immaterial on an ongoing basis.
We have applied the new revenue standard to all contracts as of the
date of initial application and as such, have used 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.
Reserves are recorded as a reduction in net sales and are not
considered material to our consolidated statements of income for
the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. 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 six months ended June
30, 2020 and 2019 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 10
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 at June 30, 2020 and
December 31, 2019 are $335,109 and $305,741, 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.
Copperhead Digital: ISP and Telecom Revenue
Copperhead
Digital is a regional internet and telecom services provider
operating in Arizona under the trade name Trucom. Copperhead
Digital operates as a wireless telecommunications Internet Service
Provider (“ISP”) facilitating both residential and
commercial accounts. Copperhead Digital’s primary business
model is subscription based, pre-paid monthly reoccurring revenues,
from wireless delivered, high-speed internet connections. In
addition, the company resells third-party satellite and DSL
internet and IP telephony services. Revenue generated from sales of
telecommunications services is recognized as the transaction with
the customer is considered closed and the customer receives and
accepts the services that were the result of the transaction. 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.
Certain of our products require specialized installation and
equipment. For telecom products that include installation, if the
installation meets the criteria to be considered a separate
element, product revenue is recognized upon delivery, and
installation revenue is recognized when the installation is
complete. The Installation Technician collects the signed quote
containing terms and conditions when installing the site equipment
at customer premises.
Revenue
for installation services and equipment is billed separately from
recurring ISP and telecom services and is recognized when equipment
is delivered and installation is completed. Revenue from ISP and
telecom services is recognized monthly over the contractual period,
or as services are rendered and accepted by the
customer.
The
overwhelming majority of our revenue continues to be recognized
when transactions occur. Since installation fees are generally
small relative to the size of the overall contract and because most
contracts are for a year or less, the impact of not recognizing
installation fees over the contract is immaterial.
K Telecom: Prepaid Phones and SIM Cards Revenue
K
Telecom generates revenue from reselling prepaid phones, SIM cards,
and rechargeable minute traffic for prepaid phones to its customers
(primarily retail outlets). Product sales occur at the
customer’s locations, at which time delivery occurs and cash
or check payment is received. The Company recognizes the revenue
when they receive payment at the time of delivery. There are no
financing terms or variable transaction prices.
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 June 30, 2020
and December 31, 2019. 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.
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.
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 June 30, 2020, the Company had shares that
were potentially common stock equivalents as follows:

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 1,000,000,000 shares are currently authorized.
Financial Instruments and Fair Value of Financial
Instruments
Our
primary financial instruments at June 30, 2020 and December 31,
2019 consisted of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts
payable, notes payable and derivative liabilities. We apply fair
value measurement accounting to either record or disclose the value
of our financial assets and liabilities in our financial
statements. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would
be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit
price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset
or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants
on the measurement date. A fair value 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 June 30,
2020 are the following:

Principles of Consolidation
Our
consolidated financial statements include the wholly-owned accounts
of K Telecom and Global, Copperhead Digital, SDM, Blue Collar, TPT
SpeedConnect, TPT Federal, TPT MedTech, and InnovaQor. The
consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of
Bridge Internet and as they become material will present the
effects of a 25% noncontrolling interest. 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.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In June
2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee
Share-Based Payment Accounting, which amends ASC 718, Compensation
– Stock Compensation. This ASU requires that most of the
guidance related to stock compensation granted to employees be
followed for non-employees, including the measurement date,
valuation approach, and performance conditions. The expense is
recognized in the same period as though cash were paid for the good
or service. The effective date is the first quarter of fiscal year
2020, with early adoption permitted, including in interim periods.
The ASU has been adopted using a modified-retrospective transition
approach. The adoption did not have a material effect on 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
SpeedConnect Asset Acquisition
Effective April 2, 2019, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase
Agreement with SpeedConnect, LLC (“SpeedConnect”) to
acquire substantially all of the assets of SpeedConnect. On May 7,
2019, the Company closed the transaction underlying the Asset
Purchase Agreement with SpeedConnect to acquire substantially all
of the assets of SpeedConnect for $2 million and the assumption of
certain liabilities. The Asset Purchase Agreement required a
deposit of $500,000 made in April and an additional $500,000
payment to close. The additional $500,000 was paid and all other
conditions were met to effectuate the sale of substantially all of
the assets of SpeedConnect to the Company. As part of the closing,
the Company entered into a Promissory Note to pay SpeedConnect
$1,000,000 in two equal installments of $500,000 plus applicable
interest at 10% per annum with the first installment payable within
30 days of closing and the second installment payable within 60
days of closing (but no later than July 6, 2019). The Company paid
off the Promissory Note by June 11, 2019 and by amendment dated May
7, 2019, SpeedConnect forgave $250,000 of the Promissory
Note.
The
Company treated the asset acquisition as a business combination and
has allocated the fair market value to assets received in excess of
goodwill.

The
unaudited proforma results of operations are presented for
information purposes only. The unaudited proforma results of
operations are not intended to present actual results that would
have been attained had the asset acquisition been completed as of
January 1, 2019 or to project potential operating results as of any
future date or for any future periods. The revenue and net income
of TPT SpeedConnect from January 1, 2020 to June 30, 2020 included
in the consolidated income statement amounted to $5,264,486 and
$742,373, respectively.
Bridge Internet Acquisition
On March 6, 2020, the Company executed an Acquisition and Purchase
Agreement (“BIC Agreement”) with Bridge Internet, a
Florida Limited Liability Company, formed on February 27, 2020. The
Company acquired 75% of Bridge Internet (which had no assets or
liabilities and no material operations) for 8,000,000 shares of
common stock of TPT Global Tech, Inc., 4,000,000 common shares
issued to Sydney “Trip” Camper immediately and
4,000,000 common shares which vest equally over two years. As
sufficient funding is raised by the Company, defined as
approximately $3,000,000, marketing funds of up to $200,000 per
quarter for the next year from date of signing the BIC Agreement
will be provided and a formal employment agreement will be
finalized. Tower industry Veteran, Founder and CEO of Bridge
Internet, Sydney “Trip” Camper, will retain the
remaining 25% of Bridge Internet and stay on as the CEO, as well as
become the acting CEO of TPT Speed Connect. The Company
entered into this transaction in order to expand its revenue
base.
The Company evaluated this acquisition in accordance with ASC
805-10-55-4 to discern whether the transaction met the definition
of a business. The company concluded there were not a sufficient
number of key processes that developed the inputs into outputs.
Accordingly, the Company accounted for this transaction as the
hiring of a key member of management. As such, 4,000,000 shares
valued at $6,400 will be expensed and 4,000,000 additional shares
valued at $6,400 will be amortized equally over 2 years. As
operations become material, the Company will present the effects of
the 25% noncontrolling interest.
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 six months ended
June 30, 2020 and 2019. We incurred $3,495,988 and $11,525,157,
respectively, in losses, and we used $318,895 and $1,082,208,
respectively, in cash for operations for the six months June 30,
2020 and 2019. Cash flows from financing activities were $506,735
and $2,151,897 for the same periods. These factors raise
substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a
going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these
financial statements. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.
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, around March 18, 2020 for an
indefinite period of time, the Company closed its Blue Collar
office in Los Angeles, California and its TPT SpeedConnect offices
in Michigan, Idaho and Arizona. Most employees are working
remotely, however this is not possible with certain employees and
all subcontractors that work for Blue Collar. 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 $722,200 in April 2020 and believes it has used these
funds as is prescribed by the stimulus offerings to have the entire
amount forgiven. A portion of the loan to Blue Collar is under
the automatic forgiveness amount of $150,000. 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 decrease significantly because of the COVID-19
closures.
As the COVID-19 pandemic is complex and rapidly evolving, the
Company's plans as described above may change. 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.
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.

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

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.
The
remaining balances generally bear interest at approximately 10%,

sheets.
(2) During
2017, the Company issued convertible promissory notes in the amount
of $67,000 (comprised of $62,000 from two related parties and
$5,000 from a former officer of CDH), all which were due May 1,
2020 and bear 6% annual interest (12% default interest rate). The
convertible promissory notes are convertible, as amended, at $0.25
per share. These convertible promissory notes were not repaid May

During
2019, the Company consummated Securities Purchase Agreements dated
March 15, 2019, April 12, 2019, May 15, 2019, June 6, 2019 and

promissory notes in the amounts of $68,000, $65,000, $58,000,
$53,000 and $43,000 (“Geneva Roth Convertible Promissory

one year from issuance, pays interest at the rate of 12% (principal
amount increases 150%-200% and interest rate increases to 24% under
default) per annum and gives the holder the right from time to
time, and at any time during the period beginning 180 days from the
origination date to the maturity date or date of default to convert
all or any part of the outstanding balance into common stock of the
Company limited to 4.99% of the outstanding common stock of the
Company. The conversion price is 61% multiplied by the average of
the two lowest trading prices for the common stock during the
previous 20 trading days prior to the applicable conversion date.
The Geneva Roth Convertible Promissory Notes may be prepaid in
whole or in part of the outstanding balance at 125% to 140% up to

30, 2020 from its various Securities Purchase Agreements into
125,446,546 shares of common stock of the Company leaving no
outstanding principal balances as of June 30, 2020. On February 13,
2020, the August 22, 2019 Securities Purchase Agreement was repaid

On March 25, 2019, the Company consummated a Securities Purchase
Agreement dated March 18, 2019 with Auctus Fund, LLC.

Promissory Note (“Auctus Convertible Promissory Note”).
The Auctus Convertible Promissory Note is due December 18, 2019,
pays interest at the rate of 12% (24% default) per annum and gives
the holder the right from time to time, and at any time during the
period beginning 180 days from the origination date or at the
effective date of the registration of the underlying shares of
common stock, which the holder has registration rights for, to
convert all of the outstanding balance into common stock of the
Company limited to 4.99% of the outstanding common stock of the
Company. The conversion price is the lessor of the lowest trading
price during the previous 25 trading days prior the date of the
Auctus Convertible Promissory Note or 50% multiplied by the average
of the two lowest trading prices for the common stock during the
previous 25 trading days prior to the applicable conversion date.
The Auctus Convertible Promissory Note may be prepaid in full at
135% to 150% up to 180 days from origination. Auctus converted

time during the period beginning 180 days from the origination date

Company. The conversion price is the lower of the market price, as
defined, or 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 JSJ Convertible
Promissory Note may be prepaid in full at 135% to 150% up to 180
days from origination. JSJ converted $43,680 of principal into
18,500,000 shares of common stock of the Company prior to June 30,
2020. In addition, on February 25, 2020 the Company repaid for
$97,000, including a premium and accrued interest, for all
remaining principal and accrued interest balances as of that day.
333,333 warrants were issued in conjunction with the issuance of
this debt. See Note 7.
On June 11, 2019, the Company consummated a Securities Purchase
Agreement with EMA Financial, LLC. (“EMA”) for the

Convertible Promissory Note”). The EMA Convertible Promissory
Note is due June 11, 2020, pays interest at the rate of 12%
(principal amount increases 200% and interest rate increases to 24%

days prior to the applicable conversion date. The EMA Convertible
Promissory Note may be prepaid in full at 135% to 150% up to 180
days from origination. Prior to June 30, 2020, EMA converted
$35,366 of principal into 147,700,000 shares of common stock of the
Company. 1,000,000 warrants were issued in conjunction with the
issuance of this debt. See Note 7.
The
Company is in default under its derivative financial instruments
and received notice of such from Auctus and EMA for not reserving
enough shares for conversion and for not having filed a Form S-1
Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
It was the intent of the Company to pay back all derivative
securities prior to the due dates but that has not occurred in case
of Auctus or EMA. As such, the Company is currently in negotiations
with Auctus and EMA and relative to extending due dates and
changing terms on the Notes.
On February 14, 2020, the Company agreed to a Secured Promissory
Note with a third party for $90,000. The Secured Promissory Note
was secured by the assets of the Company and was due June 14, 2020
or earlier in case the Company is successful in raising other
monies and carried an interest charge of 10% payable with the
principal. The Secured Promissory Note was also convertible at the
option of the holder into an equivalent amount of Series D
Preferred Stock. The Secured Promissory Note also included a
guaranty by the CEO of the Company, Stephen J. Thomas III. This
Secured Promissory Note was paid off in June 2020, including $9,000
of interest in June and $1,000 in July 2020.
(3) The
Factoring Agreement with full recourse, due February 29, 2020, as
amended, was established in June 2016 with a company that is
controlled by a shareholder and is personally guaranteed by an
officer of the Company. The Factoring Agreement is such that the
Company pays a discount of 2% per each 30-day period for each
advance received against accounts receivable or future billings.
The Company was advanced funds from the Factoring Agreement for
which $101,244 and $101,244 in principal remained unpaid as of June
30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
On May
8, 2019, the Company entered into a factoring agreement with
Advantage Capital Funding (“2019 Factoring agreement”).
$500,000, net of expenses, was funded to the Company with a promise
to pay $18,840 per week for 40 weeks until a total of $753,610 is
paid which occurred in February 2020.
On February 25, 2020, the Company entered into an Agreement for the
Purchase and Sale of Future Receipts (“2020 Factoring
Agreement”). The balance to be purchased and sold is $716,720
for which the Company received $500,000, net of fees. Under the
2020 Factoring Agreement, the Company was to pay $14,221 per week
for 50 weeks at an effective interest rate of approximately 43%
annually. However, due to COVID-19 the payments under the 2020
Factoring Agreement were reduced temporarily, to between $9,000 and
$10,500 weekly, of which $54,360 in payments have been deferred to
be paid at the end of the 50-week term. The 2020 Factoring
Agreement includes a guaranty by the CEO of the Company, Stephen J.
Thomas III.
(4) The
Line of Credit originated with a bank and was secured by the
personal assets of certain shareholders of Copperhead Digital.
During 2016, the Line of Credit was assigned to the Copperhead
Digital shareholders, who subsequent to the Copperhead Digital
acquisition by TPTG became shareholders of TPTG, and the secured
personal assets were used to pay off the bank. The Line of Credit
bears a variable interest rate based on the 1 Month LIBOR plus
2.0%, 2.16% as of June 30, 2020, is payable monthly, and is secured
by the assets of the Company. 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock of
the Company have been reserved to accomplish raising the funds to
pay off the Line of Credit. Since assignment of the Line of Credit
to certain shareholders, which balance on the date of assignment
was $2,597,790, those shareholders have loaned the Company $445,600
under the similar terms and conditions as the line of credit but
most of which were also given stock options totaling $85,120 which
expired as of December 31, 2019 (see Note 7) and is due, as
amended, August 31, 2020.
During
the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, those same shareholders
and one other have loaned the Company money in the form of
convertible loans of $136,400 and $537,200, respectively, described
in (2) and (6).
(5)
$350,000 represents cash due to the prior owners of the technology
acquired in December 2016 from the owner of the Lion Phone which is
due to be paid as agreed by TPTG and the former owners of the Lion
Phone technology and has not been determined.
$4,000,000
represents a promissory note included as part of the consideration
of ViewMe Live technology acquired in 2017, later agreed to as
being due and payable in full, with no interest with $2,000,000
from debt proceeds and the remainder from proceeds from the second
Company public offering.
$1,000,000
represents a promissory note which was entered into on May 6, 2020
for the acquisition of Media Live One Platform from
Steve and Yuanbing Caudle for the further development of software.
This was expensed as research and development in the six months
ended June 30, 2020. This
$1,000,000 promissory note is non-interest bearing, due
after funding has been received by the Company from its various
investors and other sources. Mr. Caudle is a principal with the
Company’s ViewMe technology.
On
September 1, 2018, the Company closed on its acquisition of Blue
Collar. Part of the acquisition included a promissory note of
$1,600,000 and interest at 3% from the date of closure. The
promissory note is secured by the assets of Blue
Collar.
(6)
During 2016, the Company acquired SDM which consideration included
a convertible promissory note for $250,000 due February 29, 2019,
as amended, does not bear interest, unless delinquent in which the
interest is 12% per annum, and is convertible into common stock at
$1.00 per share. The SDM balance is $182,381 as of June 30, 2020.
As of March 1, 2020, this convertible promissory note is
delinquent.
During
2018, the Company issued convertible promissory notes in the amount
of $537,200 to related parties and $10,000 to a non-related party
which bear interest at 6% (11% default interest rate), are due 30
months from issuance and are convertible into Series C Preferred
Stock at $1.00 per share. Because the Series C Preferred Stock has
a conversion price of $0.15 per share, the issuance of Series C
Preferred Stock promissory notes will cause a beneficial conversion
feature of approximately $38,479 upon exercise of the convertible
promissory notes.
(7) The
shareholder debt represents funds given to TPTG or subsidiaries by
officers and managers of the Company as working capital. There are
no written terms of repayment or interest that is being accrued to
these amounts and they will only be paid back, according to
management, if cash flows support it. They are classified as
current in the balance sheets.
See
Lease financing arrangement in Note 8.
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 June 30, 2020, in the amount of
$6,805,480 has a level 3 classification under ASC
825-10.
The following table provides a summary of changes in fair value of

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 June 30, 2020, the Company marked to market the fair value of
the debt derivatives and determined a fair value of $6,805,480
($6,774,513 from the convertible notes and $30,968 from the
warrants) in Note 5 (2) above. The Company recorded a loss from
change in fair value of debt derivatives of $400,019 for the six
months ended June 30, 2020. 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 314.2% to 350.3%, (3) weighted average
risk-free interest rate of 0.16% to 0.24% (4) expected life of 0.72
to 5.0 years, and (5) the quoted market price of $0.029 to $0.029
for the Company’s common stock.
See
Financing lease arrangements in Note 8.
NOTE 7 - STOCKHOLDERS' DEFICIT
Preferred Stock
As of
June 30, 2020, 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 and Series D
Preferred Stock.
During
the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Series A Preferred Stock
and the Series B Preferred Stock were reclassified as mezzanine
debt 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
In
February 2015, the Company designated 1,000,000 shares of Preferred
Stock as Series A Preferred Stock.
The
Series A Preferred Stock was designated in February 2016, 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. 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, determined by the following
formula: 60% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares as
computed immediately after the transaction for conversion. For
further clarification, the 60% of the issued and outstanding common
shares includes what the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock
may already hold in common shares at the time of conversion. The
Series A Preferred Stock, collectively, shall have the right to
vote as if converted prior to the vote to an number of shares equal
to 60% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company.
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.
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
In
February 2015, the Company designated 3,000,000 shares of Preferred
Stock as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. There are 2,588,693
shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding as of
June 30, 2020.
The
Series B Preferred Stock was designated in February 2015, has a par
value of $.001, is not redeemable, is senior to any other class or
series of outstanding Preferred Stock, except the Series A
Preferred Stock, or Common Stock and does not bear dividends. 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

conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock shall occur without
consent of holders upon any national exchange listing approval and

Preferred shall be on a one for one basis, which shall be
post-reverse split as may be necessary for any Exchange listing
(iv) Registration Rights – the Company has granted Piggyback
Registration Rights for common stock underlying conversion rights
in the event it files any other Registration Statement (other than
an S-1 that the Company may file for certain conversion common
shares for the convertible note financing that was arranged and

Warrants
As of June 30, 2020, there were 3,333,333 warrants outstanding that
expire in five years or in the year ended December 31, 2024. As
part of the Convertible Promissory Notes payable – third
party issuance in Note 5, the Company issued 3,333,333 warrants to
purchase 3,333,333 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.
The warrants issued were considered derivative liabilities valued
at $30,968 of the total $6,805,480, derivative liabilities as of
June 30, 2020. See Note 6.

Operating lease obligations
We have various non-cancelable lease agreements for certain of our
tower locations with original lease periods expiring between 2020
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. 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 12.0% and the weighted average lease term of 6
years. Our Michigan 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.
As of June 30, 2020, operating lease right-of-use assets and
liabilities arising from operating leases were $4,808,632 and
$4,929,801, respectively. During the six months ended June 30,
2020, cash paid for amounts included for the measurement of lease
liabilities was $1,406,101 and the Company recorded lease expense
in the amount of $1,406,101 in costs of goods sold.

financially support the financial obligations within the employment
agreements.
The
Company has been named in a lawsuit by a former employee who was
terminated by management in 2016. The employee was working under an
employment agreement but was terminated for breach of the
agreement. The former employee is suing for breach of contract and
is seeking around $75,000 in back pay and benefits. Management
believes it has good and meritorious defenses and does not believe
the outcome of the lawsuit will have any material effect on the
financial position of the Company.
As of
June 30, 2020, the company has collected $338,725 from one customer
in excess of amounts due from that customer in accordance with the
customer’s understanding of the appropriate billings
activity. The customer has filed a written demand for repayment by
the Company of amounts owed. Management believes that the customer
agreement allows them to keep the amounts under dispute. Given the
dispute, the Company has reflected the amounts in dispute as a
customer liability on the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30,
2020 and December 31, 2019 and does not believe the outcome of the
dispute will have a material effect on the financial position of
the Company.

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,

NOTE 12 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Acquisition of The Fitness Container, LLC
On June
1, 2020 the Company signed an agreement for the acquisition of a
majority interest in San Diego based manufacturing company The
Fitness Container, LL dba “Aire Fitness” www.airefitness.com
for 500,000 shares of common stock in TPTW, vesting and issuable
after the common stock reaches at least a $1.00 per share closing
price in trading, a $500,000 promissory note payable primarily out
of future capital raising and a 10% of gross profit royalty from
sales of drive through lab operations for the first year. Aire
Fitness, in which TPTW will own 75%, will operate under
TPTW‘s Medical division, TPT MedTech. Aire Fitness, is a
California LLC founded in 2014 focused on custom designing,
manufacturing, and selling high-end turnkey outdoor fitness
studios. Aire Fitness has contracted with YMCAs, Parks and
Recreation departments, Universities and Country Clubs which are
currently using its mobile gyms. Aire Fitness’ existing
and future clients will be able to take advantage of TPTW’s
upcoming Broadband, TV and Social Media platform to offer virtual
classes utilizing the company’s mobile gyms. The agreement
included an employment agreement for Mario Garcia, former principal
owner, which annual employment is to be at $120,000 plus customary
employee benefits.
Rennova Subsidiaries Merger with InnovaQor
On June
10, 2020, the Company entered
into an agreement with Rennova Health, Inc. (“Rennova
Health”) to merge Rennova Health’s software and
genetic testing interpretation divisions, Health Technology
Solutions, Inc. (“HTS”) and Advanced Molecular Services
Group, Inc., (“AMSG”) into a public company (target)
after TPTW completes a merger of its wholly owned subsidiary,
InnovaQor, Inc. with this
target.
The
parties anticipate the steps as defined in the agreement to be
completed in the 3rd quarter
resulting in the target public company being called InnovaQor, Inc.
and filing whatever documents are required to be a fully reporting
public company. The public company (“InnovaQor”) will
own certain assets and technology from TPTW’s proprietary
live streaming communication technology and the technology and
software developed and owned by HTS and AMSG. The combination of
these fully developed assets will facilitate the creation of a next
generation telehealth type platform. This platform will combine
telehealth with EHR like capabilities and facilitate a
patient’s immediate access to healthcare including their
local hospital or doctors, for initial consultation, scheduling of
appointments and follow on care.
Completion
of the agreement is subject to a number of approvals and consents
which need to be secured to complete the transaction. Subject to
the relevant SEC approvals it is intended that TPTW shareholders
will receive approximately 5M common shares in InnovaQor.
TPTW’s intent is to distribute 2.5M of these common shares to
its shareholders at a date to be determined in the future. Rennova
Health will receive 1M Class A
Supermajority Voting Preferred Shares, as well as 2.2M of Series B
non-voting shares, except in certain circumstances, with certain
designation rights, lock up agreements and other specifications as
outlined in the agreement in return for the equity in HTS and AMSG.
All debts and liabilities of HTS and AMSG owed to Rennova Health of
approximately $22M will be eliminated as part of the equity
issuance in InnovaQor. TPTW will end up with a minority
interest in InnovaQor. Rennova Health will be responsible to
appoint management to the project. It is intended that 1M common
shares will vest to management. There can be no assurance that the
transaction as described will close successfully or that terms
including numbers or values for consideration shares will not
change significantly before closing TPTW will deliver to
InnovaQor a standalone backend and front-end telemedicine
technology platform utilizing code from TPTW’s TV and Social
Media Platform. TPTW is also to grant to InnovaQor a license to
utilize and further develop a portion of TPTW’s Streaming
Platform to create a telemedicine application for InnovaQor. This
is estimated to cost approximately $3.5M, which InnovaQor will pay
to TPTW as a licensing deal outlined in the
agreement.
Rennova
Health is a vertically integrated provider of industry-leading
diagnostics and supportive software solutions to healthcare
providers that has transitioned its core business from diagnostics
to rural hospital ownership over the past three years.
Software Licensing Agreement
On July
10, 2020, the Company entered
into a Software Licensing Agreement (“Licensing
Agreement”) with its newly formed subsidiary InnovaQor, Inc
(“InnovaQor”). The Agreement allows InnovaQor to
unitize features from TPTW’s TV and Social Media platform
“Viewme Live.” InnovaQor will incorporate streaming
features with a Laboratory Information System platform. The
Software Licensing Agreement is estimated to cost approximately
$3.5M, which funds are anticipated to come from future capital
raising activities. The Company also received 5,000,000 common
shares of InnovaQor as part of the formation of InnovaQor and
Licensing Agreement.
The Software Licensing Agreement with InnovaQor is another step to
the relationship created recently with Rennova Health, Inc. in
which both TPTW and Rennova Health, Inc. are working together to
create a telemedicine joint venture announced June 11, 2020, which
joint venture is intended to be part of a public company as a
vehicle for raising capital
InnovaQor Merger with Southern Plains
On July
21, 2020, InnovaQor, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Merger
Agreement with the publicly traded company Southern Plains Oil
Corp. (OTCBB: SPLN). Subject to closing conditions which are
primarily consents and approvals from SPLN’s Board of
Directors, the SPLN Merger moves the Company’s subsidiary
InnovaQor one step closer to completing the recently executed Asset
Purchase Agreement with Rennova Health Inc. The Merger Agreement
when closed, also positions InnovaQor to trade on the OTC Market
Exchange once the closing conditions are met, merger is completed,
and TPT Global Tech and InnovaQor file for a name change, new
trading symbol and receive final approval from the FINRA. After
closing of the SPLN Merger, the Company will end up with 5,000,000
common shares out of a total of 5,401,567 common shares to be
outstanding.
Acquisition of EPIC Reference Labs, Inc.
On August 6, 2020, TPT MedTech signed a binding letter of intent
with Rennova to acquire EPIC Reference Labs, Inc.
(“EPIC”), wholly owned subsidiary of Rennova, for
$750,000, comprised of a deposit of $25,000 within five days of
signing and the remainder due either from 20% of net proceeds
received from fund raising that the Company has initiated and as
evidence by SEC Filings or a minimum payment of $25,000 per month
until paid in full. The first $25,000 payment under the second
option will be payable in September 2020. All defined laboratory
equipment and a $100,000 lease deposit were excluded from the sales
price. All liabilities incurred up to signing are to be discharged.
Receivables existing at signing are to be 100% ownership of
Rennova. There are no other significant assets. This acquisition
will allow TPT MedTech to own a license to operate medical testing
facilities.
Subsequent
events were reviewed through the date the financial statements were
issued.

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, 2019 and
2018, the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years
in the two-year period ended December 31, 2019 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, 2019 and 2018,
and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of
the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2019, 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 which 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.
/s/ Sadler, Gibb & Associates, LLC
We have served as the Company’s auditor since
2016.

NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER
31, 2019
NOTE
1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
Nature
of Operations
The
Company was originally incorporated in 1988 in the state of
Florida. TPT Global, Inc., a Nevada corporation formed in June
2014, merged with Ally Pharma US, Inc., a Florida corporation,
(“Ally Pharma”, formerly known as Gold Royalty
Corporation) in a “reverse merger” wherein Ally Pharma
issued 110,000,000 shares of Common Stock, or 80% ownership, to the
owners of TPT Global, Inc. in exchange for all outstanding common
stock of TPT Global Inc. and Ally Pharma agreed to change its name
to TPT Global Tech, Inc. (jointly referred to as “the
Company” or “TPTG”).
The
following acquisitions have resulted in entities which have been
consolidated into TPTG. In 2014 the Company acquired all the assets
of K Telecom and Wireless LLC (“K Telecom”) and Global
Telecom International LLC (“Global Telecom”). Effective
January 31, 2015, TPTG completed its acquisition of 100% of the
outstanding stock of Copperhead Digital Holdings, Inc.
(“Copperhead Digital”) and Subsidiaries, TruCom, LLC
(“TruCom”), Nevada Utilities, Inc. (“Nevada
Utilities”) and CityNet Arizona, LLC (“CityNet”).
Effective September 30, 2016, the company acquired 100% ownership
in San Diego Media Inc. (“SDM”). In October 2017, we
entered into agreements to acquire Blue Collar, Inc. (“Blue
Collar”) which closed as of September 1, 2018. On May 7, 2019
we completed the acquisition of a majority of the assets of
SpeedConnect, LLC, which assets were conveyed into our wholly owned
subsidiary TPT SpeedConnect, LLC (“TPT SC” or
“TPT SpeedConnect”) which was formed on April 16,
2019.
We are
based in San Diego, California, and operate as a Media Content Hub
for Domestic and International syndication
Technology/Telecommunications company operating on our own
proprietary Global Digital Media TV and Telecommunications
infrastructure platform and also provide technology solutions to
businesses domestically and worldwide. We are a rural Broadband
Wireless Access (BWA) provider, Software as a Service (SaaS),
Technology Platform as a Service (PAAS), Cloud-based Unified
Communication as a Service (UCaaS) and carrier-grade performance
and support for businesses over our private IP MPLS fiber and
wireless network in the United States. Our cloud-based UCaaS
services allow businesses of any size to enjoy all the latest
voice, data, media and collaboration features in today's global
technology markets. We also operate as a Master Distributor for
Nationwide Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNO) and Independent
Sales Organization (ISO) as a Master Distributor for Pre-Paid
Cellphone services, Mobile phones, Cellphone Accessories and Global
Roaming Cellphones. In addition, we create media marketing
materials and content.
SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles
of Consolidation
Our
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of K Telecom
and Global Telecom, Copperhead Digital, SDM, Blue Collar and TPT
SpeedConnect. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.
Revenue
Recognition
On
January 1, 2018, we adopted the new accounting standard ASC
606, Revenue from Contracts
with Customers, and all of the related amendments
(“new revenue standard”). We recorded the change, which
was immaterial, related to adopting the new revenue standard using
the modified retrospective method. Under this method, we recognized
the cumulative effect of initially applying the new revenue
standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained
earnings. This results in no restatement of prior periods, which
continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect
for those periods. We expect the impact of the adoption of the new
revenue standard to continue to be immaterial on an ongoing basis.
We have applied the new revenue standard to all contracts as of the
date of initial application and as such, have used 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.
Reserves are recorded as a reduction in net sales and are not
considered material to our consolidated statements of income for
the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. 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 last two years 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 10
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 at December 31, 2019 is
$305,741. 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.
Copperhead
Digital: ISP and Telecom Revenue
Copperhead
Digital is a regional internet and telecom services provider
operating in Arizona under the trade name Trucom. Copperhead
Digital operates as a wireless telecommunications Internet Service
Provider (“ISP”) facilitating both residential and
commercial accounts. Copperhead Digital’s primary business
model is subscription based, pre-paid monthly reoccurring revenues,
from wireless delivered, high-speed internet connections. In
addition, the company resells third-party satellite and DSL
internet and IP telephony services. Revenue generated from sales of
telecommunications services is recognized as the transaction with
the customer is considered closed and the customer receives and
accepts the services that were the result of the transaction. 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.

Revenue

The
overwhelming majority of our revenue continues to be recognized
when transactions occur. Since installation fees are generally
small relative to the size of the overall contract and because most
contracts are for a year or less, the impact of not recognizing
installation fees over the contract is immaterial.
K
Telecom: Prepaid Phones and SIM Cards Revenue
K
Telecom generates revenue from reselling prepaid phones, SIM cards,
and rechargeable minute traffic for prepaid phones to its customers
(primarily retail outlets). Product sales occur at the
customer’s locations, at which time delivery occurs and cash
or check payment is received. The Company recognizes the revenue
when they receive payment at the time of delivery. There are no
financing terms or variable transaction prices.
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,
2019 or 2018. 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.
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.
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, 2019 and 2018.
Accounts Receivable
We
establish an allowance for potential uncollectible accounts
receivable. All accounts receivable 60 days past due are considered
uncollectible unless there are circumstances that support
collectability. Those circumstances are documented. As of December
31, 2019 and 2018, the allowance for uncollectible accounts
receivable was $881,676 and $49,191, 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.
Long-Lived Assets.
We periodically review the carrying amount of our depreciable
long-lived assets for impairment. 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.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
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 as
of December 31, 2019, we recorded and impairment charge of $70,995
of goodwill. We did not consider an impairment charge necessary as
of December 31, 2018.
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. As of
December 31, 2019, we performed evaluations that resulted in an
impairment of intangible assets of $878,877. There was no
impairment charge to intangibles considered necessary as of
December 31, 2018.
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.
Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share
The
Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC
260, “Earning per Share””. ASC 260 requires
presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share
(“EPS”) on the face of thee income statement. Basic EPS
is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common
shareholder (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares
outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives
effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during
the period using the treasury stock method and convertible
preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted
EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining
the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of
stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive
potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. As of December
31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had shares that were potentially
common stock equivalents as follows:

1,000,000,000 shares are currently authorized.
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.
At
December 31, 2019 and 2018, two customer accounts receivable
balances were 91% and 28%, respectively, of our aggregate accounts
receivable or revenues.
Financial Instruments and Fair Value of Financial
Instruments
Our
primary financial instruments at December 31, 2019 and 2018
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.
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 $0 and $220 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and
2018, respectively.
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.
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 2017 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 Black-Scholes option valuation technique.
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 December 31, 2019, the Company marked to market the fair
value of the debt derivatives and determined a fair value of
$8,836,514 ($8,833,465 from the convertible notes and $3,049 from
the warrants) in Note 6. The Company recorded a loss from change in
fair value of debt derivatives of $7,476,908 for the year ended
December 31, 2019. The fair value of the embedded derivatives was
determined using Monte Carlo simulation method based on the
following assumptions: (1) dividend yield of 0%, (2) expected
volatility of 178.2% to 278.9%, (3) weighted average risk-free
interest rate of 1.55% to 1.88% (4) expected life of 0.72 to 5.0
years, and (5) the quoted market price of $0.045 to $0.098 for the
Company’s common stock.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In June
2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee
Share-Based Payment Accounting, which amends ASC 718, Compensation
– Stock Compensation. This ASU requires that most of the
guidance related to stock compensation granted to employees be
followed for non-employees, including the measurement date,
valuation approach, and performance conditions. The expense is
recognized in the same period as though cash were paid for the good
or service. The effective date is the first quarter of fiscal year
2020, with early adoption permitted, including in interim periods.
The ASU has been adopted using a modified-retrospective transition
approach. The adoption is not considered to have a material effect
on the consolidated financial statements.
In
February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) and
subsequent amendments to the initial guidance: ASU 2017-13, ASU
2018-10, ASU 2018-11, ASU 2018-20 and ASU 2019-01 (collectively,
Topic 842). Topic 842 requires lessees to classify leases as either
finance or operating leases and to record a right-of-use asset and
a lease liability for all leases with a term greater than 12 months
regardless of the lease classification. We adopted Topic 842 using
the effective date, January 2019, as the date of our initial
application of the standard. Consequently, financial information
for the comparative periods will not be updated. Our finance and
operating lease commitments are subject to the new standard and
recognized as finance and operating lease liabilities and
right-of-use assets upon our adoption of Topic 842, which increased
our total assets and total liabilities that we report relative to
such amounts prior to adoption.
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
SpeedConnect Asset Acquisition
Effective April 2, 2019, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase
Agreement with SpeedConnect, LLC (“SpeedConnect”) to
acquire substantially all of the assets of SpeedConnect in order to
add revenue generating opportunities to its telecommunications
activities. On May 7, 2019, the Company closed the transaction
underlying the Asset Purchase Agreement with SpeedConnect for a
purchase price of $2 million and the assumption of certain
liabilities. The Asset Purchase Agreement required a deposit of
$500,000 made in April and an additional $500,000 payment to close.
Both payments were made and all other conditions were met to
effectuate the sale of substantially all of the assets of
SpeedConnect to the Company. As part of the closing, the Company
entered into a Promissory Note to pay SpeedConnect $1,000,000 in
two equal installments of $500,000 plus applicable interest at 10%
per annum with the first installment payable within 30 days of
closing and the second installment payable within 60 days of
closing (but no later than July 6, 2019). The Company paid off the
Promissory Note by June 11, 2019 and by amendment dated May 7,
2019, SpeedConnect forgave $250,000 of the Promissory Note to help
provide working capital needs and for payment of liabilities
assumed.
The
Company treated the asset acquisition as a business combination and
has allocated the fair market value to assets received in excess of
goodwill.

Blue Collar Acquisition
The
Company entered into an Acquisition and Purchase Agreement on
November 3, 2017, but amended on February 9, 2018, March 29, 2018
and August 16, 2018, to be effective September 1, 2018 with Blue
Collar Inc. (“Blue Collar”), a media production company
and California Corporation and its shareholders, to acquire 100% of
the outstanding ownership of Blue Collar, including equipment,
furniture and other assets, for 6,500,000 shares of restricted
Common Stock and $1,600,000 (which was determined to have a fair
value of approximately $1,533,000) in a Seller note payable that is
to be paid within eight months of September 1, 2018, as amended in
August 2018, and bears annual interest of 3% (12% interest upon
default). See Notes 5 and 8. The acquisition is a key element in
the Company’s overall strategic plans. Change in control took
place on September 1, 2018 with the addition of senior company
personnel being added to the Board of Directors of Blue Collar and
on all bank accounts.
The
Company applied the acquisition method of accounting to the
business combination and has valued each of the assets acquired and
liabilities. The assets and liabilities were deemed to be recorded
at fair value as of the acquisition date of September 1,
2018.

Total Industrial Plant Services, Inc. Acquisition and Subsequent
Termination
On
April 18, 2018, the Company entered into an Acquisition and
Purchase Agreement in draft form with Total Industrial Plant
Services, Inc. (“TIPS”), a Texas Corporation and its
shareholders, to acquire the assets, intellectual property and
technology for 3,000,000 shares of restricted Common Stock and
$2,500,000 payable at closing. A condition upon closing was that
TIPS’ financial information, including existing contracts and
projected contract revenue levels, was to be audited by a SEC
Certified Public Accounting firm in accordance with SEC
requirements.
Shortly
after the date of the agreement, which was in draft form, the
Company determined that the terms under the Acquisition and
Purchase Agreement, on TIPS’ part, were unperformable and
that several representations made by TIPS were not accurate. As
such, the Company verbally terminated the Acquisition and Purchase
Agreement. On August 29, 2018, the Company gave written notice of
termination to TIPS.
Separately,
during the due diligence phase, the Company extended TIPS $37,950
in working capital. The Company was working with TIPS on a
repayment plan but has made the determination to provide for an
allowance for bad debt of 100% of this balance as of December 31,
2019 and 2018.
HRS Agreement and Subsequent Rescission
On
November 1, 2017, as amended February 9, 2018, the Company entered
into an Acquisition and Purchase Agreement with Hollywood Riviera
LLC and HRS Mobile LLC and their members who share common ownership
to acquire 100% ownership interest in both of these companies for
3,265,000 restricted Common Stock and, and $3,350,000 in cash to be
used to retire debt and pay for ownership interests. In conjunction
with this Acquisition, 3,265,000 shares of restricted Common Stock
were issued during 2017. On March 28, 2018, by mutual agreement,
this Agreement was rescinded and the 3,625,000 shares of common
stock are being returned by the recipients and have been recorded
as $3,625 in stock subscription receivable as of December 31, 2019
and 2018. These common shares have yet to be returned as of the
issuance of these financial statements.
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, 2019 and 2018. Financing activities described below
have helped with working capital and other capital requirements. We
incurred $14,028,165 and $5,377,489, respectively, in losses, and
we used $328,251 and $916,407, respectively, in cash for operations
for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. Cash flows from
financing activities were $1,390,538 and $871,199 for the same
periods. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of
the Company to continue as a going concern for a period of one year
from the issuance of these financial statements. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from
the outcome of this uncertainty.
On February 25, 2020, the Company entered into another factoring
agreement with Advantage Capital Funding (“2020 Factoring
Agreement”). The balance to be purchased and sold is $716,720
for which the Company received $500,000, net of fees. Under the
2020 Factoring Agreement, the Company will pay $14,221 per week for
50 weeks.
On February 14, 2020, the Company agreement to a Secured Promissory
Note with a third party for $90,000. The Secured Promissory Note is
secured by the assets of the Company and is due June 14, 2020 or
earlier in case the Company is successful in raising other monies
and carries an annual interest charge of 10% payable with the
principal. The Secured Promissory Note is also convertible at the
option of the holder into an equivalent amount of Series D
Preferred Stock.
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.

During
the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company had a change in
useful life for its telecommunications fiber and equipment related
to Copperhead Digital resulting from managements evaluation of its
remaining useful life in light of the decrease in revenues for
which it was being used. The useful life was decreased from its
original 20 years when it was acquired in 2015 to five
years.

unsecured and are classified as current in the balance
sheets.
On February 14, 2020, the Company agreement to a Secured Promissory
Note with a third party for $90,000. The Secured Promissory Note is
secured by the assets of the Company and is due June 14, 2020 or
earlier in case the Company is successful in raising other monies
and carries an annual interest charge of 10% payable with the
principal. The Secured Promissory Note is also convertible at the
option of the holder into an equivalent amount of Series D
Preferred Stock. The Secured Promissory Note also includes a
guaranty by the CEO of the Company, Stephen J. Thomas
III.
(2) During
2017, the Company issued convertible promissory notes in the amount
of $67,000 (comprised of $62,000 from two related parties and
$5,000 from a former officer of CDH), all which are due May 1, 2020
and bear 6% annual interest (12% default interest rate). The
convertible promissory notes are convertible, as amended, at $0.25
per share.
During
2019, the Company consummated Securities Purchase Agreements dated
March 15, 2019, April 12, 2019, May 15, 2019, June 6, 2019 and
August 22, 2019 with Geneva Roth Remark Holdings, Inc.

promissory notes in the amounts of $68,000, $65,000, $58,000,
$53,000 and $43,000 (“Geneva Roth Convertible Promissory
Notes”). The Geneva Roth Convertible Promissory Notes are due
one year from issuance, pays interest at the rate of 12% (principal
amount increases 150%-200% and interest rate increases to 24% under
default) per annum and gives the holder the right from time to
time, and at any time during the period beginning 180 days from the
origination date to the maturity date or date of default to convert
all or any part of the outstanding balance into common stock of the
Company limited to 4.99% of the outstanding common stock of the
Company. The conversion price is 61% multiplied by the average of
the two lowest trading prices for the common stock during the
previous 20 trading days prior to the applicable conversion date.
The Geneva Roth Convertible Promissory Notes may be prepaid in
whole or in part of the outstanding balance at 125% to 140% up to
180 days from origination. Prior to December 31, 2019, Geneva Roth
converted a total of $133,000 of principal and $3,900 of accrued

principal and $4,780 of accrued interest into 107,613,598 shares of
common stock of the Company leaving zero balances on the May 15,
2019 and June 6, 2019 Securities Purchase Agreements. In addition,

(3) The Factoring Agreement with full recourse, due August
31, 2020, as amended, was established in June 2016 with a company
that is controlled by a shareholder and is personally guaranteed by
an officer of the Company. The Factoring Agreement is such that the
Company pays a discount of 2% per each 30-day period for each
advance received against accounts receivable or future billings.
The Company was advanced funds from the Factoring Agreement for
which $101,244 and $101,244 in principal remained unpaid as of
December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
On May

Advantage Capital Funding (“2019 Factoring agreement”).
$500,000, net of expenses, was funded to the Company with a promise
to pay $18,840 per week for 40 weeks until a total of $753,610 is
paid. $122,374 remains outstanding under this 2019 Factoring
Agreement as of December 31, 2019.
(4) The
Line of Credit originated with a bank and was secured by the
personal assets of certain shareholders of Copperhead Digital.
During 2016, the Line of Credit was assigned to the Copperhead
Digital shareholders, who subsequent to the Copperhead Digital
acquisition by TPTG became shareholders of TPTG, and the secured
personal assets were used to pay off the bank. The Line of Credit
bears a variable interest rate based on the 1 Month LIBOR plus
2.0%, 3.543% as of December 31, 2019, is payable monthly, and is
secured by the assets of the Company. 1,000,000 shares of Common
Stock of the Company have been reserved to accomplish raising the
funds to pay off the Line of Credit. Since assignment of the Line
of Credit to certain shareholders, which balance on the date of
assignment was $2,597,790, those shareholders have loaned the
Company $445,600 under the similar terms and conditions as the line
of credit but most of which were also given stock options totaling
$85,120 which expired as of December 31, 2019 (see Note 8) and is
due, as amended, August 31, 2020.
During
the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, those same shareholders
and one other have loaned the Company money in the form of
convertible loans of $136,400 and $537,200, respectively, described
in (2 and 6) above.
(5)
$350,000 represents cash due to the prior owners of the technology
acquired in December 2016 from the owner of the Lion Phone which is
due to be paid as agreed by TPTG and the former owners of the Lion
Phone technology and has not been determined.
$4,000,000
represents a promissory note included as part of the consideration
of ViewMe Live technology acquired in 2017, later agreed to as
being due and payable in full, with no interest with $2,000,000
from debt proceeds intended to be obtained in 2018 and the
remainder from proceeds from the second Company public offering
intended to be in 2019.
On
September 1, 2018, the Company closed on its acquisition of Blue
Collar. Part of the acquisition included a promissory note of
$1,600,000 (fair value of $1,533,217, net of a discount to fair
value of $66,783 which was amortized through expense through the
due date of May 1, 2019) and interest at 3% from the date of
closure. $37,102 and $29,681 was amortized as interest expense in
the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The
promissory note is secured by the assets of Blue
Collar.
(6)
During 2016, the Company acquired SDM which consideration included
a convertible promissory note for $250,000 due February 29, 2019,
as amended, does not bear interest, unless delinquent in which the
interest is 12% per annum, and is convertible into common stock at
$1.00 per share. The SDM balance is $182,381 as of December 31,
2019. As of March 1, 2020, this convertible promissory note is
delinquent.
During
2018, the Company issued convertible promissory notes in the amount
of $537,200 to related parties and $10,000 to a non-related party
which bear interest at 6% (11% default interest rate), are due 30
months from issuance and are convertible into Series C Preferred
Stock at $1.00 per share. Because the Series C Preferred Stock has
a conversion price of $0.15 per share, the issuance of Series C
Preferred Stock promissory notes will cause a beneficial conversion
feature of approximately $38,479 upon exercise of the convertible
promissory notes.
(7) The
shareholder debt represents funds given to TPTG or subsidiaries by
officers and managers of the Company as working capital. There are
no written terms of repayment or interest that is being accrued to
these amounts and they will only be paid back, according to
management, if cash flows support it. They are classified as
current in the balance sheets.
During
the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company borrowed $50,000 from
a third party for working capital with no written terms. This was
paid back prior to December 31, 2019 with $7,000 representing
interest on the funds.
See
Lease financing arrangement in Note 8.
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, 2019, in the amount of
$8,836,514 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, 2019. There were no derivative financial instruments as of
December 31, 2018.

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 December 31, 2019, the Company marked to market the fair
value of the debt derivatives and determined a fair value of
$8,836,514 ($8,833,465 from the convertible notes and $3,049 from
the warrants) in Note 5 (2) above. The Company recorded a loss from
change in fair value of debt derivatives of $7,476,908 for the year
ended December 31, 2019. The fair value of the embedded derivatives
was determined using Monte Carlo simulation method based on the
following assumptions: (1) dividend yield of 0%, (2) expected
volatility of 178.2% to 278.9%, (3) weighted average risk-free
interest rate of 1.55% to 1.88% (4) expected life of 0.72 to 5.0
years, and (5) the quoted market price of $0.045 to $0.098 for the
Company’s common stock.

Black-Scholes options pricing model was used to value the stock
options. The inputs included the following:
|
(1)
|
Dividend
yield of 0%
|
|
(2)
|
expected
annual volatility of 307% - 311%
|
|

Warrants
As of December 31, 2019, there were 3,333,333 warrants outstanding
that expire in five years or in the year ended December 31, 2024.

party issuance in Note 5, the Company issued 3,333,333 warrants to
purchase 3,333,333 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.
The
warrants issued were considered derivative liabilities valued at
$3,049 of the total $8,836,514, derivative liabilities as of

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 12.0% and the
weighted average lease term of 6 years.
We have various non-cancelable lease agreements for certain of our
tower locations with original lease periods expiring between 2020
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 Michigan 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.
As of December 31, 2019, operating lease right-of-use assets and
liabilities arising from operating leases were $3,886,045 and
$3,931,580, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2019,
cash paid for amounts included for the measurement of lease
liabilities was $1,835,041 and the Company recorded lease expense
in the amount of $1,880,576 in general and administrative
expenses.

payments under operating leases by years and the present value of

Other
Commitments and Contingencies
The
Company has employment agreements with certain employees of SDM and
K Telecom. The agreements are such that SDM and K Telecom, on a
standalone basis in each case, must provide sufficient cash flow to
financially support the financial obligations within the employment
agreements.
The
Company has been named in a lawsuit by a former employee who was
terminated by management in 2016. The employee was working under an
employment agreement but was terminated for breach of the
agreement. The former employee is suing for breach of contract and
is seeking around $75,000 in back pay and benefits. Management
believes it has good and meritorious defenses and does not believe
the outcome of the lawsuit will have any material effect on the
financial position of the Company.
As of
December 31, 2019 and 2018, the company has collected $338,725 from
one customer in excess of amounts due from that customer in
accordance with the customer’s understanding of the
appropriate billings activity. The customer has filed a written
demand for repayment by the Company of amounts owed. Management
believes that the customer agreement allows them to keep the
amounts under dispute. Given the dispute, the Company has reflected
the amounts in dispute as a customer liability on the consolidated
balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 and does not believe
the outcome of the dispute will have a material effect on the
financial position of the Company.

Municipalities, Cooperatives and Individual Territory Owners
throughout the United States. It currently has no revenues. As a
territorial, duplicatable, wireless internet service provider, this
is a unique opportunity for potential JV partners to join an
incredible revenue sharing business model. It is very easy for
Municipalities, Cooperatives or Individual Owners to start JV
businesses with Bridge Internet to provide their communities with
state-of-the-art High-Speed Internet, Voice and IPTV services. The
internet is a commodity many take for granted but for those with
limited access every day is an unnecessary struggle. With millions
of rural Americans struggling to find a reliable internet provider,
Bridge Internet will help make a difference in people’s lives
by providing access to online classes, healthcare, news and
entertainment.
Convertible Promissory Notes
Subsequent to December 31, 2019, there have been $216,010 of
principal and $99,088 of accrued interest for a total of $315,098
of convertible promissory notes that have been converted to
615,568,695 common shares. See Note 5 related to debt financing
arrangements. These conversions have significantly increased the
amount of common shares outstanding since December 31,
2019.
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, around March 18, 2020 for an
indefinite period of time, the Company closed its Blue Collar
office in Los Angeles, California and its TPT SpeedConnect offices
in Michigan, Idaho and Arizona. Most employees are working
remotely, however this is not possible with certain employees and
all subcontractors that work for Blue Collar. 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 is attempting to take advantage of the stimulus
offerings but has not solidified anything on this yet. On
February 25, 2020, the Company entered the Advantage Merchant
Agreement, mentioned above, and received $500,000, net of
fees. 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 decrease significantly
because of the COVID-19 closures.
As the COVID-19 pandemic is complex and rapidly evolving, the
Company's plans as described above may change. 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.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the Three Months Ended
June 30, 2020 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30,
2019
During
the three months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized total revenues
of $2,756,771 compared to the prior period of $2,428,455. The
increase is attributed to the acquisition of the assets of
SpeedConnect on May 7, 2019 and three full months in the three
months ended June 30, 2020 versus the prior period.
Gross
profit for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $1,114,111
compared to $940,507 for the prior period. The increase of $173,604
is largely attributable to the acquisition of the assets of
SpeedConnect and three full months in the three months ended June
30, 2020 versus the prior period.
During
the three months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized $2,898,566 in
operating expenses compared to $1,771,632 for the prior period. The
increase of $1,126,934 was in large part attributable to the
acquisition of the assets of SpeedConnect and three full months in
the three months ended June 30, 2020 versus the prior period, as
well as research and development expense of
$1,000,000.
Derivative
gain of $3,496,653 and loss of $6,565,485 results from the
accounting for derivative financial instruments during the three
months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.
Interest
expense decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared
to the prior period by $859,857. The decrease is largely from the
derivative debt being in default of the increased penalty amounts
that were accounted for in the prior period versus this
period.
During
the three months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized net income of
$2,470,210 compared to a loss of $8,543,811 for the prior period.
The difference of $11,014,021 was primarily a result of the
accounting resulting from the valuation of debt classified as
derivative financial instruments.
For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 Compared to the Six Months
Ended June 30, 2019
During
the six months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized total revenues of
$5,832,744 compared to the prior period of $2,589,931. The increase
is attributed to the acquisition of the assets of SpeedConnect on
May 7, 2019.
Gross
profit for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $2,095,067
compared to $839,615 for the prior period. The increase of
$1,255,452 is largely attributable to the acquisition of the assets
of SpeedConnect.
During
the six months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized $4,833,416 in
operating expenses compared to $2,981,433 for the prior period. The
increase of $1,851,983 was in large part attributable to the
acquisition of the assets of SpeedConnect and $1,000,000 of
research and development expense.
Derivative
expense of $400,019 and $8,105,901 results from the accounting for
derivative financial instruments during the six months ended June
30, 2020 and 2019.
Interest
expense decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared
to the prior period by $443,337. The decrease is largely from the
derivative debt being in default of the increased penalty amounts
that were accounted for in the prior period versus this
period.
During
the six months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized a net loss of
$3,495,988 compared to a loss of $11,525,157 for the prior period.
The difference of $8,029,169 was primarily a result of the
accounting resulting from the valuation of debt classified as
derivative financial instruments.
For the Year Ended December 31, 2019 Compared to the Year Ended
December 31, 2018
During
the year ended December 31, 2019, we recognized total revenues of
$10,212,377 compared to the prior period of $937,069. The increase
was a result of the acquisition of a majority of the assets of
SpeedConnect in May of 2019.
Gross
profit (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $4,300,376
compared to $(811,965) for the prior period. The increase was a
result of the acquisition of a majority of the assets of
SpeedConnect in May of 2019.
During
the year ended December 31, 2019, we recognized $6,459,556 in
expenses compared to $4,332,852 for the prior period. The increase
was a result of the acquisition of a majority of the assets of
SpeedConnect in May of 2019.
During
the year ended December 31, 2019, we recognized a net loss of
$14,028,165 compared to $5,377,489 for the prior period. The
increase in the loss of $8,650,676 was a result of derivative
expense of $7,476,908 resulting from the increase in derivative
convertible promissory notes and an increase in interest expense of
$3,348,348 resulting again from the convertible promissory notes,
offset by the increased profit margin in large part from the
acquisition of the assets of SpeedConnect.
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash
flows generated from operating activities were not enough to
support all working capital requirements for the six months ended
June 30, 2020 and 2019. We incurred $3,495,988 and $11,525,157,
respectively, in losses, and we used $318,895 and $1,082,208,
respectively, in cash for operations for the six months June 30,
2020 and 2019. Cash flows from financing activities were $506,735
and $2,151,897 for the same periods. These factors raise
substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a
going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these
financial statements. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty
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, around March 18, 2020 for an
indefinite period of time, the Company closed its Blue Collar
office in Los Angeles, California and its TPT SpeedConnect offices
in Michigan, Idaho and Arizona. Most employees are working
remotely, however this is not possible with certain employees and
all subcontractors that work for Blue Collar. 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
$722,200 in April 2020 and believes it has used these funds as is
prescribed by the stimulus offerings to have the entire amount
forgiven. A portion of the loan to Blue Collar is under the
automatic forgiveness amount of $150,000. 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 decrease significantly because of the COVID-19
closures.
As the
COVID-19 pandemic is complex and rapidly evolving, the Company's
plans as described above may change. 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
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.
Ongoing Assessment of the Impact of COVID-19
Companies have undertaken and are generally in the process of
making a diverse range of operational adjustments in response to
the effects of COVID-19. These adjustments are numerous and include
a transition to telework; supply chain and distribution
adjustments; and suspending or modifying certain operations to
comply with health and safety guidelines to protect employees,
contractors, and customers, including in connection with a
transition back to the workplace. These types of adjustments may
have an effect on a company that would be material to an investment
or voting decision, and affected companies should carefully
consider their obligations to disclose this information to
investors. Companies also are undertaking a diverse and sometimes
complex range of financing activities in response to the effects of
COVID-19 on their businesses and markets. These activities may
involve obtaining and utilizing credit facilities, accessing public
and private markets, implementing supplier finance programs, and
negotiating new or modified customer payment terms. The SEC has
required a discussion of COVID-19 related considerations, specific
facts and circumstances and make disclosures to address the
following questions;
●
What
are the material operational challenges that management and the
Board of Directors are monitoring and evaluating?
●
We
are challenged by the gathering restrictions under state and local
rules and lack of events due to cancellation specifically related
to our Blue Collar operations.
●
How
and to what extent have you altered your operations, such as
implementing health and safety policies for employees, contractors,
and customers, to deal with these challenges, including challenges
related to employees returning to the workplace?
●
We
have allowed our employees to work from home and are using contract
service providers where appropriate. Blue Collar continues to be
shut down but has implemented health and safety policies for
employees, contractors and customers to the extent any work is
done.
●
How
are the changes impacting or reasonably likely to impact your
financial condition and short- and long-term
liquidity?
●
The
changes have impaired out Blue Collar operations
significantly.
●
How
is your overall liquidity position and outlook
evolving?
●
We
have raised limited funds to help our liquidity position but hope
our outlook is bright primarily through a pending private placement
and current discussions with other funding
opportunities.
●
To
the extent COVID-19 is adversely impacting your revenues, consider
whether such impacts are material to your sources and uses of
funds, as well as the materiality of any assumptions you make about
the magnitude and duration of COVID-19’s impact on your
revenues. Are any decreases in cash flow from operations having a
material impact on your liquidity position and
outlook?
●
COVID-19
has reduced our historical revenues by approximately 20% from that
of 2019. The bans on events and gatherings are very material to our
Blue Collar operations. Our reduced cash flows from Blue Collar
operations has materially impacted our growth from that segment of
our business.
●
Have
you accessed revolving lines of credit or raised capital in the
public or private markets to address your liquidity
needs?
●
We
have raised some limited funds through private sources but have
mainly relied on PPP funding and cash flows from those parts of our
business with positive cash flows.
●
Have
COVID-19 related impacts affected your ability to access your
traditional funding sources on the same or reasonably similar terms
as were available to you in recent periods?
●
No.
●
Have
you provided additional collateral, guarantees, or equity to obtain
funding?
●
No.
●
Have
there been material changes in your cost of capital?
●
No.
●
How
has a change, or a potential change, to your credit rating impacted
your ability to access funding?
●
No.
●
Do your financing arrangements contain terms that
limit your ability to obtain additional funding? If so, is the
uncertainty of additional funding reasonably likely to result in
your liquidity decreasing in a way that would result in you being
unable to maintain current operations?
●
No.
●
Are
you at material risk of not meeting covenants in your credit and
other agreements?
●
No.
●
If
you include metrics, such as cash burn rate or daily cash use, in
your disclosures, are you providing a clear definition of the
metric and explaining how management uses the metric in managing or
monitoring liquidity?
●
Not
Applicable.
●
Are
there estimates or assumptions underlying such metrics the
disclosure of which is necessary for the metric not to be
misleading?
●
No.
●
Have
you reduced your capital expenditures and if so, how?
●
No.
●
Have
you reduced or suspended share repurchase programs or dividend
payments?
●
No.
●
Have
you ceased any material business operations or disposed of a
material asset or line of business?
●
No.
●
Have
you materially reduced or increased your human capital resource
expenditures?
●
Yes,
we have reduced staff for Blue Collar.
●
Are
any of these measures temporary in nature, and if so, how long do
you expect to maintain them?
●
These
measures are temporary and will be maintained until events are
allowed again of medium to large size.
●
What
factors will you consider in deciding to extend or curtail these
measures?
●
We
will consider whether medium to large gatherings are
allowed.
●
What
is the short- and long-term impact of these reductions on your
ability to generate revenues and meet existing and future financial
obligations?
●
There
is no impact of these reductions upon our ability to generate
revenues or meet financial obligations.
●
Are
you able to timely service your debt and other
obligations?
●
Yes.
(See Financing Arrangements on page 67)
●
Have
you taken advantage of available payment deferrals, forbearance
periods, or other concessions? What are those concessions and how
long will they last?
●
We
seek to have deferral. Certain debt deferrals are pending
negotiation, but incomplete.
●
Do
you foresee any liquidity challenges once those accommodations
end?
● Possibly,
if creditors demand all deferrals at once rather than payment over
time as indicated. (See Financing Arrangements on page
67)
●
Have
you altered terms with your customers, such as extended payment
terms or refund periods, and if so, how have those actions
materially affected your financial condition or
liquidity?
●
We
have not altered terms with customers.
●
Did
you provide concessions or modify terms of arrangements as a
landlord or lender that will have a material impact?
●
No.
●
Have
you modified other contractual arrangements in response to COVID-19
in such a way that the revised terms may materially impact your
financial condition, liquidity, and capital resources?
●
We
are at risk if creditors demand all deferrals at once rather than
payment over time as indicated.
●
Are
you relying on supplier finance programs, otherwise referred to as
supply chain financing, structured trade payables, reverse
factoring, or vendor financing, to manage your cash
flow?
●
Yes.
●
Have
these arrangements had a material impact on your balance sheet,
statement of cash flows, or short- and long-term liquidity and if
so, how?
●
No.
●
What
are the material terms of the arrangements?
●
Most
vendors situations now provide up to 30 days terms.
●
Did
you or any of your subsidiaries provide guarantees related to these
programs?
●
No.
●
Do
you face a material risk if a party to the arrangement terminates
it?
●
No.
●
What
amounts payable at the end of the period relate to these
arrangements, and what portion of these amounts has an intermediary
already settled for you?
●
There
have been no settlements. Most arrangements are related to up to 30
days with telecommunications vendors and payments are being
included in planned cash flows.
●
Have
you assessed the impact material events that occurred after the end
of the reporting period, but before the financial statements were
issued, have had or are reasonably likely to have on your liquidity
and capital resources and considered whether disclosure of
subsequent events in the financial statements and known trends or
uncertainties in MD&A is required?
●
There are no material events occurring after the
end of the reporting period but before financial statements were
issued which would have any affect on liquidity or capital
resources and there are no new
trends or uncertainties needed to be
disclosed.
Government Assistance – The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and
Economic Security Act (CARES Act)
The CARES Act includes financial assistance for companies in the
form of loans and tax relief in the form of deferred or
reduced payments and potential refunds. Companies receiving
federal assistance must consider the short- and long-term impact of
that assistance on their financial condition, results of
operations, liquidity, and capital resources, as well as the
related disclosures and critical accounting estimates and
assumptions. We have not received any financial assistance from the
banks or any government agency.
●
How
does a loan impact your financial condition, liquidity and capital
resources?
●
We
have no government loans, except PPP loans that we anticipate will
be forgiven.
●
What
are the material terms and conditions of any assistance you
received, and do you anticipate being able to comply with
them?
●
PPP
loans only and we anticipate forgiveness. (See Financing
Arrangements on page 67 that describes the material terms of the
PPP loan)
●
Do
those terms and conditions limit your ability to seek other sources
of financing or affect your cost of capital?
●
No.
●
Do
you reasonably expect restrictions, such as maintaining certain
employment levels, to have a material impact on your revenues or
income from continuing operations or to cause a material change in
the relationship between costs and revenues?
●
No.
●
Once
any such restrictions lapse, do you expect to change your
operations in a material way?
●
No.
●
Are
you taking advantage of any recent tax relief, and if so, how does
that relief impact your short- and long-term
liquidity?
●
We
are using payroll tax deferrals allow by the tax relief
programs.
●
Do
you expect a material tax refund for prior periods?
●
No.
●
Does
the assistance involve new material accounting estimates or
judgments that should be disclosed or materially change a prior
critical accounting estimate?
●
No.
●
What
accounting estimates were made, such as the probability a loan will
be forgiven, and what uncertainties are involved in applying the
related accounting guidance?
●
We
anticipate forgiveness of our PPP loans but have disclosed them as
loans through June 30, 2020.
A Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going
Concern
The SEC has advised that Management should consider whether
conditions and events, taken as a whole, raise substantial doubt
about the company’s ability to meet its obligations as they
become due within one year after the issuance of the financial
statements. There is substantial doubt about a company’s
ability to continue as a going concern due to continuation of the
COVID-19 pandemic and we make the following
disclosure:
●
Are
there conditions and events that give rise to the substantial doubt
about the company’s ability to continue as a going
concern?
●
Yes.
There was concern about our ability to continue as a going concern
prior to COVID-19, however the continuation of COVID-19 prohibits
Blue Collar from operating and generating revenues, and this causes
additional doubt as to our continuation as a going
concern.
●
For
example, have you defaulted on outstanding
obligations?
●
Yes,
but not because of COVID-19. (See Financing Arrangements at page
67)
●
Have
you faced labor challenges or a work stoppage?
●
No.
●
What
are your plans to address these challenges?
●
At
the point of allowing bigger sizes of gatherings post COVID-19 our
Blue Collar subsidiary and film production companies may fully
operate and we believe will be the turnaround for these
revenues.
●
Have
you implemented any portion of those plans?
●
No,
it’s a matter of allowing our Blue Collar subsidiary to fully
operate.

The
Company is in default under its derivative financial instruments
and received notice of such from Auctus and EMA for not reserving

changing terms on the Notes.

be paid at the end of the 50-week term. The 2020 Factoring
Agreement includes a guaranty by the CEO of the Company, Stephen J.
Thomas III.
(4) The
Line of Credit originated with a bank and was secured by the
personal assets of certain shareholders of Copperhead Digital.
During 2016, the Line of Credit was assigned to the Copperhead
Digital shareholders, who subsequent to the Copperhead Digital
acquisition by TPTG became shareholders of TPTG, and the secured
personal assets were used to pay off the bank. The Line of Credit
bears a variable interest rate based on the 1 Month LIBOR plus
2.0%, 2.16% as of June 30, 2020, is payable monthly, and is secured
by the assets of the Company. 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock of
the Company have been reserved to accomplish raising the funds to
pay off the Line of Credit. Since assignment of the Line of Credit
to certain shareholders, which balance on the date of assignment
was $2,597,790, those shareholders have loaned the Company $445,600
under the similar terms and conditions as the line of credit but
most of which were also given stock options totaling $85,120 which
expired as of December 31, 2019 (see Note 7) and is due, as
amended, August 31, 2020.1
During
the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, those same shareholders
and one other have loaned the Company money in the form of
convertible loans of $136,400 and $537,200, respectively, described
in (2) and (6).
(5)
$350,000 represents cash due to the prior owners of the technology
acquired in December 2016 from the owner of the Lion Phone which is
due to be paid as agreed by TPTG and the former owners of the Lion
Phone technology and has not been determined.
$4,000,000
represents a promissory note included as part of the consideration
of ViewMe Live technology acquired in 2017, later agreed to as
being due and payable in full, with no interest with $2,000,000
from debt proceeds and the remainder from proceeds from the second
Company public offering.
$1,000,000
represents a promissory note which was entered into on May 6, 2020
for the acquisition of Media Live One Platform from
Steve and Yuanbing Caudle for the further development of software.
This was expensed as research and development in the six months
ended June 30, 2020. This
$1,000,000 promissory note is non-interest bearing, due
after funding has been received by the Company from its various
investors and other sources. Mr. Caudle is a principal with the
Company’s ViewMe technology.
On
September 1, 2018, the Company closed on its acquisition of Blue
Collar. Part of the acquisition included a promissory note of
$1,600,000 and interest at 3% from the date of closure. The
promissory note is secured by the assets of Blue
Collar.
(6)
During 2016, the Company acquired SDM which consideration included
a convertible promissory note for $250,000 due February 29, 2019,
as amended, does not bear interest, unless delinquent in which the
interest is 12% per annum, and is convertible into common stock at
$1.00 per share. The SDM balance is $182,381 as of June 30, 2020.
As of March 1, 2020, this convertible promissory note is
delinquent.
During
2018, the Company issued convertible promissory notes in the amount
of $537,200 to related parties and $10,000 to a non-related party
which bear interest at 6% (11% default interest rate), are due 30
months from issuance and are convertible into Series C Preferred
Stock at $1.00 per share. Because the Series C Preferred Stock has
a conversion price of $0.15 per share, the issuance of Series C
Preferred Stock promissory notes will cause a beneficial conversion
feature of approximately $38,479 upon exercise of the convertible
promissory notes.
(7) The
shareholder debt represents funds given to TPTG or subsidiaries by
officers and managers of the Company as working capital. There are
no written terms of repayment or interest that is being accrued to
these amounts and they will only be paid back, according to
management, if cash flows support it. They are classified as
current in the balance sheets.

Lease financing arrangement in Note 8 of the financial statements
ended June 30, 2020.
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 June 30, 2020, in the amount of
$6,805,480 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 June 30,
2020.

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 June 30, 2020, the Company marked to market the fair value of
the debt derivatives and determined a fair value of $6,805,480
($6,774,513 from the convertible notes and $30,968 from the
warrants) in Note 5 (2) above. The Company recorded a loss from
change in fair value of debt derivatives of $400,019 for the six
months ended June 30, 2020. 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 314.2% to 350.3%, (3) weighted average
risk-free interest rate of 0.16% to 0.24% (4) expected life of 0.72
to 5.0 years, and (5) the quoted market price of $0.029 to $0.029
for the Company’s common

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Revenue Recognition
On
January 1, 2018, we adopted the new accounting standard ASC
606, Revenue from Contracts
with Customers, and all of the related amendments
(“new revenue standard”). We recorded the change, which
was immaterial, related to adopting the new revenue standard using
the modified retrospective method. Under this method, we recognized
the cumulative effect of initially applying the new revenue
standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained
earnings. This results in no restatement of prior periods, which
continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect
for those periods. We expect the impact of the adoption of the new
revenue standard to continue to be immaterial on an ongoing basis.
We have applied the new revenue standard to all contracts as of the
date of initial application and as such, have used 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.
Reserves are recorded as a reduction in net sales and are not
considered material to our consolidated statements of income for
the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. 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 six months ended June
30, 2020 and 2019 came from the following sources disaggregated by
services and products, which sources are explained in detail
below.

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

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.

and rechargeable minute traffic for prepaid phones to its customers
(primarily retail outlets). Product sales occur at the

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

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 is 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.
During
November 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update
No. 2015-17, ASU 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of
Deferred Taxes, which simplifies the presentation of deferred
income taxes. ASU 2015-17 requires that deferred tax assets and
liabilities be classified as non-current in a statement of
financial position. We adopted ASU 2015-17 effective
December 31, 2015.
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 and Intangible Assets
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 as
of December 31, 2019, we recorded and impairment charge of $70,995
of goodwill. We did not consider an impairment charge necessary as
of December 31, 2018.
Our
intangible assets consist primarily of customer relationships,
developed technology, 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. As of December 31, 2019, we
performed evaluations that resulted in an impairment of intangible
assets of $878,877. There was no impairment charge to intangibles
considered necessary as of December 31, 2018.
In-process technology intangible assets, which are not subject to
amortization until projects reach commercialization, are assessed
for impairment at least annually and more frequently if events
occur that would indicate a potential reduction in the fair value
of the assets below their carrying value. An impairment charge
would be recognized to the extent the carrying amount of the
in-process technology exceeded its fair value.
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.
Right of Use Assets and Lease Liabilities
In
February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) and
subsequent amendments to the initial guidance: ASU 2017-13, ASU
2018-10, ASU 2018-11, ASU 2018-20 and ASU 2019-01 (collectively,
Topic 842). Topic 842 requires lessees to classify leases as either
finance or operating leases and to record a right-of-use asset and
a lease liability for all leases with a term greater than 12 months
regardless of the lease classification. We adopted Topic 842 using
the effective date, January 2019, as the date of our initial
application of the standard. Consequently, financial information
for the comparative periods has not been updated. Our finance and
operating lease commitments are subject to the new standard and we
recognize as finance and operating lease liabilities and
right-of-use assets. The effect on our consolidated financial
statements has not been material until we acquired the assets of
SpeedConnect, which effect has been recorded during the period
ended December 31, 2019 and is reflected in the consolidated
financial statements as of December 31, 2019.
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.

(3) Holder
of Series A Preferred Stock which is Stephen J. Thomas, guaranteed
60% of outstanding common stock upon conversion. The Company would
have to authorize additional shares for this to occur as only
1,000,000,000 are currently authorized.
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.
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, around March 18, 2020 for an
indefinite period of time, the Company closed its Blue Collar
office in Los Angeles and its TPT SpeedConnect offices in Michigan,
Idaho and Arizona. Most employees are working remotely,
however this is not possible with certain employees and all
subcontractors that work for Blue Collar. 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 took advantage of the stimulus offerings and received
$722,000. On February 25, 2020, the Company entered the
Advantage Merchant Agreement, mentioned above, and received
$500,000, net of fees. 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
decrease significantly because of the COVID-19
closures.
As the COVID-19 pandemic is complex and rapidly evolving, the
Company's plans as described above may change. 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.
Operational Budget
Our
first and second quarter operations for 2020 were consistent with
operations for 2019. However, we intend to expend significant funds
after our intended funding event equally over the next four
quarters as follows.
|
Equipment purchase

$18,350,000

It is expected the
use of this working capital and funds for equipment purchases will
extend into 2021.
The
Company may change any or all of the budget categories in the
execution of its business model. None of the line items are to be
considered fixed or unchangeable. The Company may need substantial
additional capital to support its budget. We have not recognized
revenues from our operational activities.
Based
on our current cash reserves of approximately $200,000 as of the
filing of this Offering, we do not have the cash for the
operational budget going forward. If we are unable to
generate enough revenue, to cover our operational costs, we
will need to seek additional sources of funds. Currently, we
have no committed
source for any funds as of date hereof. No representation is
made that any funds will be available when needed. In the
event funds cannot be raised if and when needed, we may not be able
to carry out our business plan and could fail in business as a
result of these uncertainties.
The
independent registered public accounting firm’s report on our
financial statements as of December 31, 2019, includes a
“going concern” explanatory paragraph that describes
substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern.

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.

ITEM 11A. MATERIAL CHANGES
Bridge Internet, LLC Acquisition
On
March 6, 2020, the Company executed an Acquisition and Purchase
Agreement (“Agreement”) dated March 6, 2020 with Bridge
Internet, LLC (“Bridge Internet”), a Delaware Limited
Liability Company.
The
Company acquired 75% of Bridge Internet for 8,000,000 shares of
common stock of TPT Global Tech, Inc., 4,000,000 common shares
issued to Sydney “Trip” Camper immediately and
4,000,000 common shares which vest equally over two years. As
sufficient funding is raised by the Company, defined as
approximately $3,000,000, marketing funds of up to $200,000 per
quarter for the next year from date of signing Agreement will be
provided. Tower industry Veteran, Founder and CEO of Bridge
Internet, Sydney “Trip” Camper, will retain the
remaining 25% of Bridge Internet and stay on as the CEO, as well as
become the acting CEO of TPT Speed Connect LLC, the Company’s
wholly owned subsidiary TPT SpeedConnect, LLC.
Bridge
Internet offers a Joint Venture (JV) business model to
Municipalities, Cooperatives and Individual Territory Owners
throughout the United States. It currently has no revenues. As a
territorial, duplicatable, wireless internet service provider, this
is a unique opportunity for potential JV partners to join an
incredible revenue sharing business model. It is very easy for
Municipalities, Cooperatives or Individual Owners to start JV
businesses with Bridge Internet to provide their communities with
state-of-the-art High-Speed Internet, Voice and IPTV services. The
internet is a commodity many take for granted but for those with
limited access every day is an unnecessary struggle. With millions
of rural Americans struggling to find a reliable internet provider,
Bridge Internet will help make a difference in people’s lives
by providing access to online classes, healthcare, news and
entertainment.
The Fitness Container, LLC Acquisition
On June
1, 2020, the Company signed an agreement for the acquisition of a
majority interest in San Diego based manufacturing company, The
Fitness Container, LLC dba “Aire Fitness” (www.airefitness.com), for
500,000 shares of common stock in TPTW, vesting and issuable after
the common stock reaches at least a $1.00 per share closing price
in trading, a $500,000 promissory note payable primarily out of
future capital raising and a 10% of gross profit royalty from sales
of drive through lab operations for the first year. Aire Fitness,
in which TPTW will own 75%, will operate under TPTW‘s Medical
division, TPT MedTech. Aire Fitness is a California LLC founded in
2014 focused on custom designing, manufacturing, and selling
high-end turnkey outdoor fitness studios. Aire Fitness has
contracted with YMCAs, Parks and Recreation departments,
Universities and Country Clubs which are currently using its mobile
gyms. Aire Fitness’ existing and future clients will be
able to take advantage of TPTW’s upcoming Broadband, TV and
Social Media platform to offer virtual classes utilizing the
company’s mobile gyms. The agreement included an employment
agreement for Mario Garcia, former principal owner, which annual
employment is to be at $120,000 plus customary employee
benefits.
InnovaQor Merger with Southern Plains
On
August 1, 2020, InnovaQor,
a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Merger
Agreement with the publicly traded company Southern Plains Oil
Corp. (OTC PINK: SPLN prior to Merger Agreement). The SPLN Merger
moves the Company’s subsidiary InnovaQor one step closer to
completing the recently executed Asset Purchase Agreement with
Rennova Health, Inc. The Merger also positions InnovaQor to trade
on the OTC Market. InnovaQor, as of October 12, 2020, is traded
under INOQ. The Company received 6,000,000 common shares as part of
the Merger Agreement out of a total of 6,400,667 common shares
outstanding. During August, InnovaQor authorized a Series A Super
Majority Preferred Stock that was valued at $350,000 by management
and issued to a third party in exchange for legal services. The
Series A Super Majority Preferred Stock was exchanged with TPT for
TPT common stock, expected to be approximately seven million
shares. The actual shares will be determined upon the SEC
qualifying a Form S-1 registering these shares and a calculation
that is dependent on a 5-day average price of TPT’s common
stock.
EPIC Reference Labs, Inc. Acquisition
On August 6, 2020, TPT MedTech signed a binding letter of intent
with Rennova to acquire EPIC Reference Labs, Inc.
(“EPIC”), wholly owned subsidiary of Rennova, for
$750,000, comprised of a deposit of $25,000 within five days of
signing and the remainder due either from 20% of net proceeds
received from fund raising that the Company has initiated and as
evidence by SEC Filings or a minimum payment of $25,000 per month
until paid in full. The first $25,000 payment has been made. All
defined laboratory equipment and a $100,000 lease deposit were
excluded from the sales price. All liabilities incurred up to
signing are to be discharged. Receivables existing at signing are
to be 100% ownership of Rennova. There are no other significant
assets. This acquisition will allow TPT MedTech to own a license to
operate medical testing facilities.
EPIC is a high complexity clinical laboratory located in West Palm
Beach, Florida. The binding letter of intent includes EPIC’s
current CLIA certificate of registration that enables TPT
MedTech’s Mobile QuikLabs to operate in 46 US States
delivering rapid Covid-19 Point-of-Care testing and monitoring.
Closing of the acquisition is subject to normal change of ownership
application and notification to certain regulatory and licensing
bodies. Until the change of ownership is complete, Rennova will
operate the laboratory under Management agreement dated August 6,
2020 between TPT MedTech, LLC and Rennova.
QuikLAB Mobile Laboratory
In July and August 2020, the Company formed Quiklab 1 LLC, QuikLAB
2, LLC, QuikLAB 3, LLC and QuikLAB 4, LLC. It is the intent to use
these entities as vehicles into which third parties would invest
and participate in owning QuikLAB Mobile Laboratories. Thusfar,
Quiklab 1 LLC and QuikLAB 3, LLC have received an investment of
$360,000 for which it will benefit from owning 20% of three QuikLAB
Mobile Laboratories.

ITEM 12A. DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION
POSITION OF INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT
LIABILITIES
The
Florida Statutes requires us to indemnify officers and directors
for any expenses incurred by any officer or director in connection
with any actions or proceedings, whether civil, criminal,
administrative, or investigative, brought against such officer or
director because of his or her status as an officer or director, to
the extent that the director or officer has been successful on the
merits or otherwise in defense of the action or proceeding. The
Florida Statutes permits a corporation to indemnify an officer or
director, even in the absence of an agreement to do so, for
expenses incurred in connection with any action or proceeding if
such officer or director acted in good faith and in a manner in
which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interests of us and such indemnification is authorized by the
stockholders, by a quorum of disinterested directors, by
independent legal counsel in a written opinion authorized by a
majority vote of a quorum of directors consisting of disinterested
directors, or by independent legal counsel in a written opinion if
a quorum of disinterested directors cannot be
obtained.
The
Florida Statutes prohibits indemnification of a director or officer
if a final adjudication establishes that the officer's or
director's acts or omissions involved intentional misconduct,
fraud, or a knowing violation of the law and were material to the
cause of action. Despite the foregoing limitations on
indemnification, the Florida Statutes may permit an officer or
director to apply to the court for approval of indemnification even
if the officer or director is adjudged to have committed
intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of the
law.
The
Florida Statutes also provides that indemnification of directors is
not permitted for the unlawful payment of distributions, except for
those directors registering their dissent to the payment of the
distribution.
According
to our bylaws, we are authorized to indemnify our directors to the
fullest extent authorized under Florida Law subject to certain
specified limitations.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 (the “Act”) may be permitted to directors,
officers and persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing
provisions or otherwise, we are advised that, in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable.

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.

include any prospectus required by Section 10(a) (3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;
|
|
|
b.
|
To
reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of this registration statement, or most recent
post-effective amendment, which, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this
registration statement; and
|
|
|
c.
|
To
include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in this registration
statement or any material change to such information in the
registration statement.
|
That,
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act, each post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered herein,
and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to
be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
To
remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered hereby which remain unsold at
the termination of the Offering.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to the directors, officers and controlling persons
pursuant to the provisions above, or otherwise, 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, 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 one of
the directors, officers, or controlling persons in the successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by one of
the directors, officers, or controlling persons in connection with
the securities being registered, we will unless in the opinion of
our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act, and we will be governed by the final adjudication
of such issue.
For
determining liability under the Securities Act, to treat the
information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of
this Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and
contained in a form of prospectus filed by the Registrant under
Rule 424(b) (1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act as part
of this Registration Statement as of the time the Commission
declared it effective.
