Impact of COVID-19
The ongoing COVID-19 global and national health emergency has caused significant disruption in the international and United States economies and financial markets. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic. The spread of COVID-19 has caused illness, quarantines, cancellation of events and travel, business and school shutdowns, reduction in business activity and financial transactions, labor shortages, supply chain interruptions and overall economic and financial market instability. The COVID-19 pandemic has the potential to significantly impact the Company’s supply chain, distribution centers, or logistics and other service providers.

In addition, a severe prolonged economic downturn could result in a variety of risks to the business, including weakened demand for products and services and a decreased ability to raise additional capital when needed on acceptable terms, if at all. As the situation continues to evolve, the Company will continue to closely monitor market conditions and respond accordingly.
We have implemented adjustments to our operations designed to keep employees safe and comply with international, federal, state, and local guidelines, including those regarding social distancing. The extent to which COVID-19 may further impact the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence. In response to COVID-19, the United States government has passed legislation and taken other actions to provide financial relief to companies and other organizations affected by the pandemic.
The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operations is unknown and will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the duration of the COVID-19 outbreak, new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, and any additional preventative and protective actions that governments, or the Company, may direct, which may result in an extended period of continued business disruption, reduced customer traffic and reduced operations.
Any resulting financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time but is anticipated to have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
To date, the Company has not experienced any significant economic impact due to COVID-19.
Basisof Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial statements (“U.S. GAAP”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not contain all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all of the adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) to present the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2021 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future period. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the SEC on April 2, 2021.

Management acknowledges its responsibility for the preparation of the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements which reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary in its opinion for a fair statement of its consolidated financial position and the consolidated results of its operations for the periods presented.
Liquidity,Going Concern and Management’s Plans
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.
As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company had:
| ● | Net<br> loss of $6,687,302; and |
|---|---|
| ● | Net<br> cash used in operations was $7,144,369 |
Additionally, at September 30, 2021, the Company had:
| ● | Accumulated<br> deficit of $28,367,097 |
|---|---|
| ● | Stockholders’<br> deficit of $10,545,905; and |
| ● | Working<br> capital deficit of $8,403,231 |
We
manage liquidity risk by reviewing, on an ongoing basis, our sources of liquidity and capital requirements. The Company has cash on hand of $635,527 at September 30, 2021. Although the Company intends to raise additional debt or equity capital, the Company expects to continue to incur significant losses from operations and have negative cash flows from operating activities for the near-term. These losses could be significant as product and service sales ramp up along with continuing expenses related to compensation, professional fees, development and regulatory are incurred.

The Company has incurred significant losses since its inception and has not demonstrated an ability to generate sufficient revenues from the sales of its products and services to achieve profitable operations. There can be no assurance that profitable operations will ever be achieved, or if achieved, could be sustained on a continuing basis. In making this assessment we performed a comprehensive analysis of our current circumstances including: our financial position, our cash flows and cash usage forecasts for the twelve months ended September 30, 2022, and our current capital structure including equity-based instruments and our obligations and debts.
See Note 11 as it related to the need for additional capital. The Company continues to explore obtaining additional capital financing and the Company is closely monitoring its cash balances, cash needs, and expense levels.
These factors create substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within the twelve-month period subsequent to the date that these consolidated financial statements are issued. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes the Company will continue as a going concern and which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.
Management’s strategic plans include the following:
| ● | Pursuing<br> additional capital raising opportunities, |
|---|---|
| ● | Continuing<br> to explore and execute prospective partnering or distribution opportunities; and |
| ● | Identifying<br> unique market opportunities that represent potential positive short-term cash flow. |
Note2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principlesof Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

The fair value of the consideration paid, including contingent consideration, is assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values. Goodwill represents excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
Significant
judgments are used in determining fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as intangibles. Fair value and useful life determinations are based on, among other factors, estimates of future expected cash flows, and appropriate discount rates used in computing present values. These judgments may materially impact the estimates used in allocating acquisition date fair values to assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as the Company’s current and future operating results. Actual results may vary from these estimates which may result in adjustments to goodwill and acquisition date fair values of assets and liabilities during a measurement period or upon a final determination of asset and liability fair values, whichever occurs first. Adjustments to fair values of assets and liabilities made after the end of the measurement period are recorded within the Company’s operating results. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, goodwill was $866,782, respectively.
Deconsolidationof Subsidiary
In accordance with ASC Topic 810-10-40, a parent company must deconsolidate a subsidiary as of the date the parent ceases to have a controlling interest in that subsidiary and recognize a gain or loss in net income at that time.
On
May 7, 2021, the Company disposed of its subsidiary True Wireless, Inc. (“TW”), however we retained $1,097,659 in liabilities which consisted of $1,077,659 in accounts payable and accrued expenses as well as $20,000 in related party loans. In connection with the sale, the Company received an unsecured note receivable for $176,851, bearing interest at 0.6%, with a default interest rate of 10%. The Company will receive twenty-five (25) payments of principal and accrued interest totaling $7,461 commencing in June 2023. Payments are scheduled as follows:

BusinessSegments and Concentrations
The Company uses the “management approach” to identify its reportable segments. The management approach requires companies to report segment financial information consistent with information used by management for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the basis for identifying the Company’s reportable segments. The Company manages its business as multiple reportable segments.
Customers in the United States accounted for 100% of our revenues. We do not have any property or equipment outside of the United States.

Useof Estimates
Preparing financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and those estimates may be material.
Significant estimates during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, include, allowance for doubtful accounts and other receivables, inventory reserves and classifications, valuation of beneficial conversion features in convertible debt, valuation of loss contingencies, valuation of derivative liabilities, valuation of stock-based compensation, estimated useful lives related to intangible assets and property and equipment, implicit interest rate in right-of-use operating leases, uncertain tax positions, and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.
Risksand Uncertainties
The Company operates in an industry that is subject to intense competition and change in consumer demand. The Company’s operations are subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial and operational risks including the potential risk of business failure.
The Company has experienced, and in the future expects to continue to experience, variability in sales and earnings. The factors expected to contribute to this variability include, among others, (i) the cyclical nature of the industry, (ii) general economic conditions in the various local markets in which the Company competes, including a potential general downturn in the economy, and (iii) the volatility of prices in connection with the Company’s distribution of the product. These factors, among others, make it difficult to project the Company’s operating results on a consistent basis.
FairValue of Financial Instruments
The Company accounts for financial instruments under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements. ASC 820 provides a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, based on the Company’s principal or, in absence of a principal, most advantageous market for the specific asset or liability.
| F-13 |
| --- |
The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy to classify and disclose all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, in periods subsequent to their initial measurement. The hierarchy requires the Company to use observable inputs when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs, when determining fair value.
The three tiers are defined as follows:
| ● | Level<br> 1 —Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets; |
|---|---|
| ● | Level<br> 2—Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly in the marketplace<br> for identical or similar assets and liabilities; and |
| ● | Level<br> 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market data, which require the Company to develop its own assumptions. |
The determination of fair value and the assessment of a measurement’s placement within the hierarchy requires judgment. Level 3 valuations often involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity. Level 3 valuations may require the use of various cost, market, or income valuation methodologies applied to unobservable management estimates and assumptions. Management’s assumptions could vary depending on the asset or liability valued and the valuation method used. Such assumptions could include estimates of prices, earnings, costs, actions of market participants, market factors, or the weighting of various valuation methods. The Company may also engage external advisors to assist us in determining fair value, as appropriate.
Although the Company believes that the recorded fair value of our financial instruments is appropriate, these fair values may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values.
The Company’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and accounts payable and accrued expenses – related party, are carried at historical cost. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, the carrying amounts of these instruments approximated their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.
ASC 825-10 “Financial Instruments” allows entities to voluntarily choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value (“fair value option”). The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable unless a new election date occurs. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, unrealized gains and losses for that instrument should be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The Company did not elect to apply the fair value option to any outstanding financial instruments.

Cashand Cash Equivalents and Concentration of Credit Risk
For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the purchase date and money market accounts to be cash equivalents.
At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, the Company did not have any cash equivalents.
The
Company is exposed to credit risk on its cash and cash equivalents in the event of default by the financial institutions to the extent account balances exceed the amount insured by the FDIC, which is $250,000. There were no accounts in excess of this insured limit.
AccountsReceivable
Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding customer balances. Credit is extended to customers based on an evaluation of their financial condition and other factors. Interest is not accrued on overdue accounts receivable. The Company does not require collateral.
Management periodically assesses the Company’s accounts receivable and, if necessary, establishes an allowance for estimated uncollectible amounts. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon a review of the outstanding accounts receivable, historical collection information and existing economic conditions. Accounts determined to be uncollectible are charged to operations when that determination is made.
Allowance
for doubtful accounts was $116,664 and $116,664 at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded a bad debt expense of $0 and $0.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded a bad debt expense of $0 and $0.
Bad debt expense (recovery) is recorded as a component of general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Inventory
Inventory
primarily consists of tablets and sim cards, as well as masks, hand sanitizer and other miscellaneous items. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) valuation method. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had inventory of $502,109 and $178,309, respectively.
Impairmentof Long-lived Assets
Management evaluates the recoverability of the Company’s identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets when events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment exists, in accordance with the provisions of ASC 360-10-35-15 “Impairment or Disposal of Long-LivedAssets.” Events and circumstances considered by the Company in determining whether the carrying value of identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets may not be recoverable include but are not limited to significant changes in performance relative to expected operating results; significant changes in the use of the assets; significant negative industry or economic trends; and changes in the Company’s business strategy. In determining if impairment exists, the Company estimates the undiscounted cash flows to be generated from the use and ultimate disposition of these assets.
If impairment is indicated based on a comparison of the assets’ carrying values and the undiscounted cash flows, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.
There were no impairment losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Propertyand Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Expenditures for repair and maintenance which do not materially extend the useful lives of property and equipment are charged to operations. When property or equipment is sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts with the resulting gain or loss reflected in operations.
Management reviews the carrying value of its property and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.
There were no impairment losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Rightof Use Assets and Lease Obligations
The Right of Use Asset and Lease Liability reflect the present value of the Company’s estimated future minimum lease payments over the lease term, which may include options that are reasonably assured of being exercised, discounted using a collateralized incremental borrowing rate.
Typically, renewal options are considered reasonably assured of being exercised if the associated asset lives of the building or leasehold improvements exceed that of the initial lease term, and the performance of the business remains strong. Therefore, the Right of Use Asset and Lease Liability may include an assumption on renewal options that have not yet been exercised by the Company. At September 30, 2021, the Company’s operating leases contained renewal options for periods ranging from three to five years that expire at various dates with no residual value guarantees. Future obligations relating to the exercise of renewal options is included in the measurement if, based on the judgment of management, the renewal option is reasonably certain to be exercised. Factors in determining whether an option is reasonably certain of exercise include, but are not limited to, the value of leasehold improvements, the value of the renewal rate compared to market rates, and the presence of factors that would cause a significant economic penalty to the Company if the option is not exercised. Management reasonably plans to exercise all options, and as such, all renewal options are included in the measurement of the right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities.
As the rate implicit in leases are not readily determinable, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate to calculate the lease liability that represents an estimate of the interest rate the Company would incur to borrow on a collateralized basis over the term of a lease within a particular currency environment. See Note 8.
DerivativeLiabilities
The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under FASB ASC Topic No. 480, (“ASC 480”), “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” and FASB ASC Topic No. 815, (“ASC 815”) “Derivativesand Hedging”. Derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as adjustments to fair value of derivatives. The Company uses a binomial model to determine fair value.
Upon conversion of a note where the embedded conversion option has been bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative liability, the Company records the shares at fair value, relieves all related notes, derivatives, and debt discounts, and recognizes a net gain or loss on extinguishment. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under ASC Topic 815 are reclassified to liabilities at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date.

The Company has adopted ASU 2017-11, “Earnings per share (Topic 260)”, provided that when determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liability or equity instruments, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock.
The guidance simplifies the accounting for certain equity-linked financial instruments and embedded features with down round features that reduce the exercise price when the pricing of a future round of financing is lower. This allows the company to treat such instruments or their embedded features as equity instead of considering them as a derivative liability. If such a feature is triggered the value is measured pre-trigger and post-trigger. The difference in these two measurements is treated as a dividend, reducing income, which will reduce the income available to common stockholders.
If a down round feature on the conversion option embedded in the note is triggered, the Company will evaluate whether a beneficial conversion feature exists, the Company will record the amount as a debt discount and will amortize it over the remaining term of the debt.
ConvertibleNotes with Fixed Rate Conversion Options
The Company may enter into convertible notes, some of which may contain fixed rate conversion features, whereby the outstanding principal and accrued interest may be converted, by the holder, into common shares at a fixed discount to the price of the common stock at the time of conversion. The Company measures the fair value of the notes at the time of issuance, which is the result of the share price discount at the time of conversion and records the premium to interest expense on the note issuance date.
BeneficialConversion Features
For instruments that are not considered liabilities under ASC 480 or ASC 815, the Company applies ASC 470-20 to convertible securities with beneficial conversion features that must be settled in stock. ASC 470-20 requires that the beneficial conversion feature be valued at the commitment date as the difference between the effective conversion price and the fair market value of the common stock (whereby the conversion price is lower than the fair market value) into which the security is convertible, multiplied by the number of shares into which the security is convertible limited to the amount of the loan. This amount is recorded as a debt discount and amortized to interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
DebtIssue Cost
Debt issuance cost paid to lenders, or third parties are recorded as debt discounts and amortized to interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations, over the life of the underlying debt instrument.

RevenueRecognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606 to align revenue recognition more closely with the delivery of the Company’s services and will provide financial statement readers with enhanced disclosures. In accordance with ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these services. To achieve this core principle, the Company applies the following five steps:
Identify the contract with a customer
A contract with a customer exists when (i) the Company enters into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each party’s rights regarding the services to be transferred and identifies the payment terms related to these services, (ii) the contract has commercial substance and, (iii) the Company determines that collection of substantially all consideration for services that are transferred is probable based on the customer’s intent and ability to pay the promised consideration. The Company applies judgment in determining the customer’s ability and intention to pay, which is based on a variety of factors including the customer’s historical payment experience or, in the case of a new customer, published credit and financial information pertaining to the customer.
Identify the performance obligations in the contract
Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the services that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct, whereby the customer can benefit from the service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available from third parties or from the Company, and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the services is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. To the extent a contract includes multiple promised services, the Company must apply judgment to determine whether promised services are capable of being distinct and distinct in the context of the contract. If these criteria are not met the promised services are accounted for as a combined performance obligation.

Determine the transaction price
The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which the Company will be entitled in exchange for transferring services to the customer. To the extent the transaction price includes variable consideration, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price utilizing either the expected value method or the most likely amount method depending on the nature of the variable consideration. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price if, in the Company’s judgment, it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will not occur. None of the Company’s contracts as of September 30, 2021 and 2020 contained a significant financing component.
Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract
If the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. However, if a series of distinct services that are substantially the same qualifies as a single performance obligation in a contract with variable consideration, the Company must determine if the variable consideration is attributable to the entire contract or to a specific part of the contract. For example, a bonus or penalty may be associated with one or more, but not all, distinct services promised in a series of distinct services that forms part of a single performance obligation. Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative standalone selling price basis unless the transaction price is variable and meets the criteria to be allocated entirely to a performance obligation or to a distinct service that forms part of a single performance obligation. The Company determines standalone selling price based on the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately. If the standalone selling price is not observable through past transactions, the Company estimates the standalone selling price taking into account available information such as market conditions and internally approved pricing guidelines related to the performance obligations.
Recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation
The Company satisfies performance obligations either over time or at a point in time. Revenue is recognized at the time the related performance obligation is satisfied by transferring a promised service to a customer.
The following reflects additional discussion regarding our revenue recognition policies for each of our material revenue streams. For each revenue stream we do not offer any returns, refunds or warranties, and no arrangements are cancellable. Additionally, all contract consideration is fixed and determinable at the initiation of the contract. Performance obligations for TW and LogicsIQ are satisfied when services are performed. Performance obligations for ECS and SB are satisfied at point of sale. For each revenue stream we only have a single performance obligation.

Lead generation consist of sourcing leads, which requires us to drive traffic to our landing pages for a specific marketing campaign. We also achieve this in certain marketing campaigns by using third-party preferred vendors to meet the needs of our clients. Revenues are recognized at the time the lead is delivered to the client. If payment is received in advance of the delivery of services, it is included in deferred revenue, and subsequently recognized once the performance obligation has been completed.
Retained service offerings consist of turning leads into a retained legal case. To provide this service to our customers, we qualify leads through verification of information collected during the lead generation process. Additionally, we further qualify these leads using a client questionnaire which assists in determining the services to be provided. The qualification process is completed using our call center operations.
If payment is received in advance of the delivery of services, it is included in deferred revenue, and subsequently recognized once the performance obligation has been completed.

IncomeTaxes
The Company accounts for income tax using the asset and liability method prescribed by ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets if based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or loss in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company follows the accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes using the provisions of ASC 740 “Income Taxes”. Using that guidance, tax positions initially need to be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, the Company had no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

As of September 30, 2021, tax years 2018-2020 remain open for IRS audit.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was signed into law in March 2020. The CARES Act lifts certain deduction limitations originally imposed by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“2017Tax Act”). Corporate taxpayers may carryback net operating losses (NOLs) originating between 2018 and 2020 for up to five years, which was not previously allowed under the 2017 Tax Act. The CARES Act also eliminates the 80% of taxable income limitations by allowing corporate entities to fully utilize NOL carryforwards to offset taxable income in 2018, 2019 or 2020. Taxpayers may generally deduct interest up to the sum of 50% of adjusted taxable income plus business interest income (30% limit under the 2017 Tax Act) for 2019 and 2020. The CARES Act allows taxpayers with alternative minimum tax credits to claim a refund in 2020 for the entire amount of the credits instead of recovering the credits through refunds over a period of years, as originally enacted by the 2017 Tax Act.
In addition, the CARES Act raises the corporate charitable deduction limit to 25% of taxable income and makes qualified improvement property generally eligible for 15-year cost-recovery and 100% bonus depreciation. The enactment of the CARES Act did not result in any material adjustments to our income tax provision for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The
Company recognized $638,706 and $209,699 in marketing and advertising costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2021, respectively.
Stock-BasedCompensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation” using the fair value-based method. Under this method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. This guidance establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges it equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments.
The Company uses the fair value method for equity instruments granted to non-employees and use the Black-Scholes model for measuring the fair value of options. The stock based fair value compensation is determined as of the date of the grant or the date at which the performance of the services is completed (measurement date) and is recognized over the vesting periods.
| F-25 |
| --- |
When determining fair value, the Company considers the following assumptions in the Black-Scholes model:
| ● | Exercise<br> price, |
|---|---|
| ● | Expected<br> dividends, |
| ● | Expected<br> volatility, |
| ● | Risk-free<br> interest rate; and |
| ● | Expected<br> life of option |
In September2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to NonemployeeShare-Based Payment Accounting.” ASU No 2018-07 expands the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The guidance also specifies that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards.
Common Stock Awards
The Company may grant common stock awards to non-employees in exchange for services provided. The Company measures the fair value of these awards using the fair value of the services provided or the fair value of the awards granted, whichever is more reliably measurable. The fair value measurement date of these awards is generally the date the performance of services is complete. The fair value of the awards is recognized on a straight-line basis as services are rendered. The share-based payments related to common stock awards for the settlement of services provided by non-employees is recorded in accordance with ASU 2018-07 (September2018) on the consolidated statement of operations in the same manner and charged to the same account as if such settlements had been made in cash.
Stock Warrants
In connection with certain financing, consulting and collaboration arrangements, the Company may issue warrants to purchase shares of its common stock. The outstanding warrants are standalone instruments that are not puttable or mandatorily redeemable by the holder and are classified as equity awards. The Company measures the fair value of the awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model as of the measurement date. Warrants issued in conjunction with the issuance of common stock are initially recorded at fair value as a reduction in additional paid-in capital of the common stock issued. All other warrants are recorded at fair value as expense over the requisite service period or at the date of issuance if there is not a service period.

Basicand Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share and Reverse Stock Split
Pursuant to ASC 260-10-45, basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the periods presented. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive common shares may consist of common stock issuable for stock options and warrants (using the treasury stock method), convertible notes and common stock issuable. These common stock equivalents may be dilutive in the future. In the event of a net loss, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share since the effect of the potential common stock equivalents upon conversion would be anti-dilutive.
The following potentially dilutive equity securities outstanding as of September 30, 2021 and 2020 were as follows:
Schedule of Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share
| September 30, 2021 | September 30, 2020 | |||

| 2<br> - exercise prices $8 - $150/share | ||||
| 3<br> - exercise price $16/share | ||||
| 4<br> - each share converts to 1/10 of a share of common stock | ||||
| 5<br> - each share converts to 250 shares of common stock |
The convertible notes contain exercise prices that have a discount to market ranging from 70% - 75% of the 10 or 20 days (See Note 5). As a result, the amount computed for common stock equivalents could change given the quoted closing trading price at each reporting period.
Warrants and stock options included as commons stock equivalents represent those that are vested and exercisable.
Based
on the potential common stock equivalents noted above at September 30, 2021, the Company has sufficient authorized shares of common stock (500,000,000) to settle any potential exercises of common stock equivalents.

RecentAccounting Standards
Changes to accounting principles are established by the FASB in the form of ASU’s to the FASB’s Codification. We consider the applicability and impact of all ASU’s on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, stockholders’ deficit, cash flows, or presentation thereof. Management has evaluated all recent accounting pronouncements as issued by the FASB in the form of Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) through the date these financial statements were available to be issued and found no recent accounting pronouncements issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, when adopted, will have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company.
In September 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which supersedes current guidance by requiring recognition of credit losses when it is probable that a loss has been incurred. The new standard requires the establishment of an allowance for estimated credit losses on financial assets including trade and other receivables at each reporting date. The new standard will result in earlier recognition of allowances for losses on trade and other receivables and other contractual rights to receive cash. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326),Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Leases (Topic 842), which extends the effective date of Topic 326 for certain companies until fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The new standard will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year beginning October 1, 2023, and early adoption is permitted. The Company has not completed its review of the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” This guidance, among other provisions, eliminates certain exceptions to existing guidance related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This guidance also requires an entity to reflect the effect of an enacted change in tax laws or rates in its effective income tax rate in the first interim period that includes the enactment date of the new legislation, aligning the timing of recognition of the effects from enacted tax law changes on the effective income tax rate with the effects on deferred income tax assets and liabilities. Under existing guidance, an entity recognizes the effects of the enacted tax law change on the effective income tax rate in the period that includes the effective date of the tax law. ASU 2019-12 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We adopted this pronouncement on January 1, 2021; however, the adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Based on the Company’s history of immaterial credit losses from trade receivables, management does not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity”, to reduce complexity in applying GAAP to certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. ASU 2020-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted. We adopted this pronouncement on January 1, 2021; however, the adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the consolidated results of operations, stockholders’ deficit, or cash flows.
At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheets, the Company separated its various types of debt into more distinct categories. Certain accounts payable were reclassified from non-current to current.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, on the consolidated statements of operations, the Company reclassified certain expenses amongst general and administrative and cost of revenues.

ECS has been a financial technology tech and wireless top-up platform for over 15 years. On October 1, 2019, we acquired ECS primarily for the favorable ACH banking relationships and a fintech transactions platform (proprietary software) processing over 20,000 transactions a day at approximately 8,000 independently owned retail stores. The goal was to incorporate our blockchain components into the existing ECS network (proprietary software). After a year of development and integration, we believe the ECS platform has been successfully merged into our platform with secure ledger data backups and will continue to serve as the proven backbone for wireless top-up transactions and wireless product aggregation. The majority of the purchase price was allocated to the “Proprietary Software” category being amortized straight-line over seven years.
Amortization
expense for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, was $163,377 and $277,094, respectively.
Amortization

Lineof Credit
The
Company had a $1,000,000 line of credit with a bank, bearing interest at 6%, which was due in April 2021. The line of credit was secured by all of the Company’s assets and was personally guaranteed by the owner of the majority of the Company’s voting shares. The balance at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $0 and $912,870. In connection with the deconsolidation of TW in May 2021, the buyer assumed the line of credit.
Note6 – Derivative Liabilities
The above convertible notes contained an embedded conversion option with a conversion price that could result in issuing an undeterminable amount of future common stock to settle the host contract. Accordingly, the embedded conversion option is required to be bifurcated from the host instrument (convertible note) and treated as a liability, which is calculated at fair value, and marked to market at each reporting period.
The Company used the binomial pricing model to estimate the fair value of its embedded conversion option liabilities with the following inputs:
Schedule of Weighted Average Assumptions
| September 30, 2021 | December 31, 2020 | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Expected term (years) | 0.20<br> - 1 year | 0.75<br> years | ||||
| Expected volatility | 143%<br> - 291 | % | 96%<br> - 132 | % | ||
| Expected dividends | 0 | % | 0 | % | ||
| Risk free interest rate | 0.03%<br> - 0.09 | % | 0.08%<br> - 1.51 | % |
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for the derivative liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) is as follows at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:
Summary of Changes in Fair Value
| Derivative liability - December 31, 2019 | $ | 190,846 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fair value at commitment date | 2,024,191 | ||
| Fair value mark to market adjustment | (577,936 | ) | |
| Gain on derivative liability upon related debt settled | (279,573 | ) | |
| Derivative liability - December 31, 2020 | 1,357,528 | ||
| Fair value at commitment date | 1,877,251 | ||
| Fair value mark to market adjustment | (746,896 | ) | |
| Gain on derivative liability upon related debt settled | (920,375 | ) | |
| Derivative liability - September 30, 2021 | $ | 1,567,508 |
Changes in fair value of derivative liabilities are included in other income (expense) in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
During
the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded a change in fair of derivative liabilities of (202,784) and $212,851, respectively.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded a change in fair of derivative liabilities of $746,896 and $405,413, respectively.
In connection with bifurcating the embedded conversion option and accounting for this instrument at fair value, the Company computed a fair value on the commitment date, and upon the initial valuation of this instrument, determined that the fair value of the liability exceeded the proceeds of the debt host instrument. As a result, the Company recorded a debt discount at the maximum amount allowed (the face amount of the debt), which required the overage to be recorded as a derivative expense.
For
the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded a derivative expense of $0 and $33,239, respectively.
For
the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded a derivative expense of $1,775,057 and $529,294, respectively.

Note8 – Commitments and Contingencies
OperatingLease
We have entered into various operating lease agreements, including our corporate headquarters. We account for leases in accordance with ASC Topic 842: Leases, which requires a lessee to utilize the right-of-use model and to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases are classified as either financing or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of operations. In addition, a lessor is required to classify leases as either sales-type, financing or operating. A lease will be treated as a sale if it transfers all of the risks and rewards, as well as control of the underlying asset, to the lessee. If risks and rewards are conveyed without the transfer of control, the lease is treated as financing. If the lessor does not convey risk and rewards or control, the lease is treated as operating. We determine if an arrangement is a lease, or contains a lease, at inception and record the lease in our financial statements upon lease commencement, which is the date when the underlying asset is made available for use by the lessor.

TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER

Right-of-use assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments over the lease term. Lease right-of-use assets and liabilities at commencement are initially measured at the present value of lease payments over the lease term. We generally use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement to determine the present value of lease payments except when an implicit interest rate is readily determinable. We determine our incremental borrowing rate based on market sources including relevant industry data.
We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components and have elected to utilize the practical expedient to account for lease and non-lease components together as a single combined lease component, from both a lessee and lessor perspective with the exception of direct sales-type leases and production equipment classes embedded in supply agreements. From a lessor perspective, the timing and pattern of transfer are the same for the non-lease components and associated lease component and, the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease.
We have elected not to present short-term leases on the balance sheet as these leases have a lease term of 12 months or less at lease inception and do not contain purchase options or renewal terms that we are reasonably certain to exercise. All other lease assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. Because most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate of return, we used our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.
Our leases, where we are the lessee, do not include an option to extend the lease term. Our lease also includes an option to terminate the lease prior to the end of the agreed upon lease term. For purposes of calculating lease liabilities, lease term would include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise such options.
Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term as an operating expense, included as a component of general and administrative expenses, in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Certain operating leases provide for annual increases to lease payments based on an index or rate, our lease has no stated increase, payments were fixed at lease inception. We calculate the present value of future lease payments based on the index or rate at the lease commencement date. Differences between the calculated lease payment and actual payment are expensed as incurred.

Contingencies
On
November 1, 2013, The Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) issued a Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture to the Company for requesting and/or receiving support for ineligible subscriber lines between the months of October 2012 and May 2013 and proposed a monetary forfeiture of $5,501,285. The Company has annual compliance audits with FCC approved audit firms that have found no compliance deficiencies. Management believes the proposed monetary forfeiture is without merit and if anything should result from this notice, the amount would not materially affect the financial position of the Company.
On
January 15, 2020, the Company and Carter Matzinger (a member of the Company’s Board of Directors) (collectively, the “Surge Party”), and the former owners of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, DigitizeIQ, LLC (collectively, the “DigitizeIQ Party” and, together with the Surge Party, the “Parties”), entered into a settlement agreement (the “DigitizeIQ Settlement Agreement”) to settle any claims the Parties may have had against each other. The parties made claims against each other with regard to alleged breaches of an Exchange Agreement, a Non-Compete Agreement, and promissory notes issued by the Company to the DigitizeIQ Party (the “DigitizeIQ Promissory Notes”). Pursuant to the DigitizeIQ Settlement Agreement, the Parties, in addition to releasing all claims against each other, agreed to cooperate to ensure the complete transfer and assignment of the domain “digitizeiq.com” to the Company and agreed that the DigitizeIQ Promissory Notes are deemed terminated. As a result of the DigitizeIQ Promissory Notes being terminated, the Company reduced its liabilities by approximately $580,000.

On
July 9, 2020, the Company entered into a settlement and release agreement with Unimax Communications, LLC (“Unimax”). The settlement is related to a complaint filed by Unimax alleging the Company is indebted pursuant to a purchase order and additional financing terms. The Company agreed to pay Unimax the total sum of $785,000 over a 24-month period. The settlement amount is included accounts payable and accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets. The balance was repaid in April 2021.
SurgePays, Inc., formerly named as Surge Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation, Plaintiff, vs. Glen Eagles Acquisition LP, a Delaware limited partnership, Defendant; District Court Clark County, Nevada; Case No.: A-21-831204-B:
On March 4, 2021, Glen Eagles Acquisition LP (“Glen Eagles”) demanded payment of either $1,000,000 cash or $2,500,000 worth of Surge’s common stock based on false allegations of impropriety. In sum, Glen Eagles contended that Surge had diluted its shares and denied Glen Eagles the benefit of its June 2020 stock exchange transaction with Surge. At the time of Glen Eagles’ demand to Surge, however, Surge’s stock price was comparable to and even greater than its price at the time of the June 2020 exchange transaction. On March 16, 2021, Surge filed suit against Glen Eagles, seeking declaratory relief and alleging Glen Eagles breached the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing inherent in the June 2020 exchange agreement by demanding additional payment. On April 19, 2021, Glen Eagles filed an answer and a counterclaim against Surge and its Chief Executive Officer, Brian Cox, alleging claims for declaratory relief, breach of contract, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, unjust enrichment, fraudulent concealment, and seeking the appointment of a receiver. Chief Executive Officer Brian Cox has not yet been served with this counterclaim and Surge is preparing its response to the counterclaim, which will incorporate a denial of these allegations. Pretrial scheduling is for June 2022. At this time, the outcome of this litigation is not able to be determined by management due to the timing of the litigation and discovery not having commenced. The Company is currently trying to settle this matter.
Crystal Chapman, on behalf of herself and others similarly situated, Plaintiff versus SurgePays, Inc., Defendant; U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinoi, Case No.: 1:21-cv-04272.
On August 11, 2021, the plaintiffs filed a lawsuit alleging violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act as a putative class action. The plaintiffs are seeking unspecified damages and an order enjoining the Company or their agents from making autodialed calls. The case alleges contact to consumer(s) whose telephone numbers are on the Federal Do Not Call list, without their consent. There are no other counts under the TCPA or any other statute or tort. The Company vigorously disputes the allegations in this complaint as the Company only contacts consumers who have provided express written consent to be contacted. The Company believes it uses the leading software in the industry for lead verification and believes it can prove consent for all called parties. Although it is anticipated that this case will result in an individual settlement, the Company cannot predict the outcome of this case at this time.

ECS
The revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2021 were $5,801,884 compared to $8,277,613 for the same period in 2020. The decrease of 30% was a result of the impact of COVID-19. The average sales per store dropped as our ability to maintain in-person contact with store personnel was limited by the national restrictions on travel during 2020 and 2021. This same impact limited the ability to add stores to our platform, thereby limiting the growth potential. Expenses and net loss were consistent period over period.
The revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were $19,032,550 compared to $27,081,145 for the same period in 2020. The decrease of 30% was a result of the impact of COVID-19. The average sales per store dropped as our ability to maintain in-person contact with store personnel was limited by the national restrictions on travel during 2020 and 2021. This same impact limited the ability to add stores to our platform, thereby limiting the growth potential. Expenses and net loss were consistent period over period.
Overall
Each segment was impacted by COVID-19 in varying degrees, however, the overall increase in revenue of $1,736,181 from 2020 to 2021 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, can be attributable to opening of some markets and the new revenue stream of the EBB program. The net operating loss improved by $1,249,032 from three months ended September 30, 2020 to the three months ended September 30, 2021.
Each segment was impacted by COVID-19 in varying degrees. It is difficult to determine an exact impact, but the majority of the decrease in revenue from $43,104,767 as of the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to $36,905,373 as of the nine months ended September 30, 2021 can be attributed to COVID-19. We believe as restrictions are lifted across the country, each segment will see revenue growth, meeting or exceeding prior levels. The net operating loss improved by $4,438,936 for the comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2021.
LIQUIDITY,
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND GOING CONCERN
At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, our current assets were $2,840,267 and $1,251,029, respectively, and our current liabilities were $11,243,497 and $15,660,748, respectively, which resulted in a working capital deficit of $8,403,230 and $14,409,719, respectively.
Total assets at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 amounted to $8,630,959 and $7,325,071, respectively. At September 30, 2021, assets consisted of current assets of $2,840,267, net property and equipment of $217,070, net intangible assets of $3,596,861, goodwill of $866,782, equity investment in Centercom (related party) of $411,056, and net operating lease right of use asset of $522,073, as compared to current assets of $1,251,029, net property and equipment of $236,810, net intangible assets of $4,125,742, goodwill of $866,782, equity investment in Centercom (related party) of $414,612 and net operating lease right of use asset of $368,638 at December 31, 2020.

At September 30, 2021, our total liabilities of $19,176,864 increased $1,125,826 from $18,051,037 at December 31, 2020.
At September 30, 2021, our total stockholders’ deficit was $10,545,905 as compared to $10,725,966 at December 31, 2020. The principal reason for the increase in stockholders’ deficit was the impact of the deconsolidation of True Wireless which occurred May 7, 2021.
The following table sets forth the major sources and uses of cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

At December 31, 2020, the Company had the following material commitments and contingencies.
DebtSee Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Relatedparty transactions - See Notes 2, 5 and 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Cashrequirements and capital expenditures – At the current level of operations, the Company has to borrow funds to meet basic operating costs.
Knowntrends and uncertainties – The Company is planning to acquire other businesses with similar business operations. The uncertainty of the economy may increase the difficulty of raising funds to support the planned business expansion.
We believe we will continue to incur net losses and do not expect positive cash flows from operations until the 4^th^ quarter of 2021. At that time, we believe the impact of COVID-19 will have rescinded enough to allow us to fully implement our sales strategy, resulting in increased revenue in all segments of our business. The Company will continue to fund operations until cash flow positive through the use of promissory notes, both related and non-related party. These notes made up the majority of the $7,482,613 generated by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

On March 27, 2020 the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was enacted and included a provision for the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) to implement its Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). The PPP provides small businesses with funds to pay up to eight (8) weeks of payroll costs, including benefits. Funds received under the PPP may also be used to pay interest on mortgages, rent, and utilities. Subject to certain criteria being met, all or a portion of the loans may be forgiven. The loans bear interest at an annual rate of one percent (1%), are due two (2) years from the date of issuance, and all payments are deferred for the first nine (6) months of the loan. Any unforgiven balance of loan principal and accrued interest at the end of the nine (6) month loan deferral period is amortized in equal monthly installments over the remaining 18-months of the loan term. On April 17, 2020, the Company closed a $498,082 SBA guaranteed PPP loan with Bank3. The Company expects to use the loan proceeds as permitted and apply for and receive forgiveness for the entire loan amount. In addition, the Company received $636,600 in several Economic Injury Disaster Loans with the Small Business Administration. These loans all carry a 3.75% interest rate payable over 30 years. First payment due 12 months from date of note.

- CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluationof disclosure controls and procedures
Under the PCAOB standards, a control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit the attention by those responsible for oversight of the company’s financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act). Our management has determined that, as of September 30, 2021, the Company’s disclosure controls are effective, but the Company lacks segregation of duties similar to other companies our size.

1: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we may be engaged in various lawsuits and legal proceedings in the ordinary course of our business. Except as described below, we are currently not aware of any legal proceedings the ultimate outcome of which, in our judgment based on information currently available, would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
The following is summary of threatened, pending, asserted or un-asserted claims against us or any of our wholly owned subsidiaries for which there have been material developments since July 1, 2021.

1. Global Reconnect, LLC and Terracom, Inc. v. Jonathan Coffman, Jerry Carroll, True Wireless, & Surge Holdings: In the Chancery Court of Hamilton County, TN, Docket # 20-00058, filed on Jan 21, 2020.
On January 21, 2020, a complaint was filed related to a noncompetition dispute. Terracom believes Mr. Coffman and Mr. Carroll are in violation of their non-compete agreements by working for us and True Wireless, Inc. Oklahoma and Tennessee state law does not recognize non-compete agreements and are not usually enforced in the state courts of these states, as such we believe True Wireless has a strong case against Terracom. The matter is entering the discovery process. Both Mr. Carroll and Mr. Coffman are no longer working for True Wireless in sales. Mr. Carroll is off the payroll and Mr. Coffman works for SurgePays, Inc., but not in wireless sales. The complaint requests general damages plus fees and costs for tortious interference with a business relationship in their prayer for relief. They have made no written demand for damages at this point in time. This matter is simply an anti-competitive attempt by Terracom to cause distress to True Wireless.
2. Juno Financial v. AATAC and Surge Holdings Inc. AND Surge Holdings Inc. v. AATAC; Circuit Court of Hillsborough County, Florida, Case
20-CA-2712 DIV A:
On March 23, 2020, a complaint was filed related to a breach of contract dispute. The complaint was brought by a factoring company regarding Account Stated and Open Account claims against us. We have filed a cross-complaint against defendant AATAC for Breach of Contract, Account Stated, Open Account and Common Law Indemnity. The matter is currently in discovery. Juno Financial, a factoring company, is seeking in excess of $1,700,000.00. Surge never received any goods in this matter and has never owned or possessed the goods in this matter.
3. ALTCORP TRADING, LLC, a Costa Rica limited liability company; et al, Plaintiffs, vs. Surge Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation; VSTOCK Transfer, LLC, a California limited liability company, et al; District Court Clark County, Nevada; Case No.: A-20-823039-B:
In a settlement agreement signed on January 1, 2021, which became fully effective upon the court entering an order dismissing the case on January 19, 2021, Surge reached a settlement on all claims first asserted by plaintiffs AltCorp Trading, LLC and Stanley Hills, LLC in a case filed in Nevada state court in October 2020. On March 4, 2021, the plaintiffs filed a motion to enforce the settlement agreement (“Motion to Enforce”) in this action, seeking payment of a liquidated damages amount that Surge disputes and deny is due. On July 9, 2021, the Court issued its order granting in part and denying in part the Motion to Enforce, finding that while a valid settlement agreement existing between AltCorp Trading, LLC and Stanley Hills, LLC on the one hand, and Surge on the other, the Court denied the Motion to Enforce due to questions of fact as to whether Surge had actually breached or failed to perform under the agreement, and whether the settlement agreement’s provisions for liquidated damages constituted an unenforceable penalty. Ultimately, Surge was dismissed from this action.
4. SurgePays, Inc., formerly named as Surge Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation, Plaintiff, vs. Glen Eagles Acquisition LP, a Delaware limited partnership, Defendant; District Court Clark County, Nevada; Case No.: A-21-831204-B:
On March 4, 2021, Glen Eagles Acquisition LP (“Glen Eagles”) demanded payment of either $1,000,000 cash or $2,500,000 worth of Surge’s common stock based on false allegations of impropriety. In sum, Glen Eagles contended that Surge had diluted its shares and denied Glen Eagles the benefit of its June, 2020 stock exchange transaction with Surge. At the time of Glen Eagles’ demand to Surge, however, Surge’s stock price was comparable to and even greater than its price at the time of the June 2020 exchange transaction. On March 16, 2021, Surge filed suit against Glen Eagles, seeking declaratory relief and alleging Glen Eagles breached the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing inherent in the June, 2020 exchange agreement by demanding additional payment. On April 19, 2021, Glen Eagles filed an answer and a counterclaim against Surge and its Chief Executive Officer, Brian Cox, alleging claims for declaratory relief, breach of contract, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, unjust enrichment, fraudulent concealment, and seeking the appointment of a receiver. The trial is tentatively scheduled to begin on June 20, 2022. The Company and Glen Eagles attended a mediation session on October 18, 2021 in an effort to settle the disputes between the parties. While settlement negotiations are ongoing, there can be no assurance that a settlement will be reached prior to the trial’s scheduled start date in June 2022.
5. Crystal Chapman, on behalf of herself and others similarly situated, Plaintiff versus SurgePays, Inc., Defendant; U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Case No.: 1:21-cv-04272
On August 11, 2021, the plaintiffs filed a lawsuit alleging violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act as a putative class action. The plaintiffs are seeking unspecified damages and an order enjoining the Company or their agents from making autodialed calls. The case alleges contact to consumer(s) whose telephone numbers are on the Federal Do Not Call list, without their consent. There are no other counts under the TCPA or any other statute or tort. The Company vigorously disputes the allegations in this complaint as the Company only contacts consumers who have provided express written consent to be contacted. The Company believes it uses the leading software in the industry for lead verification and believes it can prove consent for all called parties. Although it is anticipated that this case will result in an individual settlement, the Company cannot predict the outcome of this case at this time.
