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 nine months ended September 30, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022.
These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2022, has been derived from the consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP.
Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of those entities outlined in Nature of Operations giving consideration to the non-controlling interests where appropriate. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts presented in previously issued financial statements have been reclassified in these financial statements. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, $176,230 and $579,989, respectively, was recorded as revenue from services in the statement of operations and has been reclassified to revenue from products to be consistent with the current period presentation.
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 operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. In addition, we invoice our customers for taxes assessed by governmental authorities such as sales tax and value added taxes, where applicable. We present these taxes on a net basis.
The Company’s revenue generation for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 came from the following sources disaggregated by services and products, which sources are explained in detail below.

(1) Includes international sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 of $172,781 related to TPT Asia.
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 for TPT SpeedConnect as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 are $85,070 and $421,643, respectively. Certain of our products require specialized installation and equipment. For telecom products that include installation, if the installation meets the criteria to be considered a separate element, product revenue is recognized upon delivery, and installation revenue is recognized when the installation is complete. The Installation Technician collects the signed quote containing terms and conditions when installing the site equipment at customer premises.
Revenue for installation services and equipment is billed separately from recurring ISP and telecom services and is recognized when equipment is delivered and installation is completed. Revenue from ISP and telecom services is recognized monthly over the contractual period, or as services are rendered and accepted by the customer.
The overwhelming majority of our revenue continues to be recognized when transactions occur. Since installation fees are generally small relative to the size of the overall contract and because most contracts are for two years or less, the impact of not recognizing installation fees over the contract is immaterial.
Blue Collar: Media Production Services
Blue Collar creates original live action and animated content productions and has produced hundreds of hours of material for the television, theatrical, home entertainment and new media markets. Blue Collar designs branding and marketing campaigns and has had agreements with some of the world’s largest companies including PepsiCo, Intel, HP, WalMart and many other Fortune 500 companies. Additionally, they create motion picture, television and home entertainment marketing campaigns for studios including Sony, DreamWorks, Twentieth Century Fox, Universal Studios, Paramount Studios, and Warner Brothers. With regard to revenue recognition, Blue Collar receives an agreement from each client to perform defined work. Some agreements are written, some are verbal. Work may include creation of marketing materials and/or content creation. Some work may be short term and take weeks to create and some work may be longer and take months to create. There are instances where customer agreements segregate identifiable obligations (like filming on site vs. film editing and final production) with separate transaction pricing. The performance obligation is generally satisfied upon delivery of such film or production products, at which time revenue is recognized. There are no financing terms or variable transaction prices.
TPT MedTech: Medical Testing Revenue
TPT MedTech operates in the Point of Care Testing (“POCT”) market by primarily offering mobile medical testing facilities and software equipped for mobile devices to monitor and manage personalized healthcare. Services used from our mobile medical testing facilities are billing through credit cards at the time of service. Revenue is generated from our software platform as users sign up for our mobile healthcare monitor and management application and tests are performed. If medical testing is in one our own owned facility, the usage of the software application is included in the testing fees. If the testing is in a non-owned outside contracted facility, fees are generated from the usage of the software application on a per test basis and billed monthly.
TPT MedTech also offers various products. One is to build and sell its mobile testing facilities called QuikLABs designed for mobile testing. This is used by TPT MedTech for its own testing services. Another is to build customized mobile gyms for exercising. This is sold to third parties. Another is medical equipment, one of which is a sanitizing unit called SANIQuik which is used as a safe and flexible way to sanitize providing an additional routine to hand washing and facial coverings. The SANIQuik has not yet been approved for sale in the United States but has in some parts of the European community. Revenues from these products are recognized when a product is delivered, the sales transaction considered closed and accepted by a customer. When deposits are received for which a product has not been delivered, it is recognized as deferred revenue. Deferred revenue as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $0 and $41,000, respectively. There are no financing terms or variable transaction prices for either of these products.
SDM: Ecommerce, Email Marketing and Web Design Services
SDM generates revenue by providing ecommerce, email marketing and web design solutions to small and large commercial businesses, complete with monthly software support, updates and maintenance. Services are billed monthly. There are no financing terms or variable transaction prices. Platform infrastructure support is a prepaid service billed in monthly recurring increments. The services are billed a month in advance and due prior to services being rendered. The revenue is deferred when invoiced and booked in the month the service is provided. There is no deferred revenue as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Software support services (including software upgrades) are billed in real time, on the first of the month. Web design service revenues are recognized upon completion of specific projects. Revenue is booked in the month the services are rendered and payments are due on the final day of the month. There are usually no contract revenues that are deferred until services are performed.
K Telecom: Prepaid Phones and SIM Cards Revenue
K Telecom generates revenue from reselling prepaid phones, SIM cards, and rechargeable minute traffic for prepaid phones to its customers (primarily retail outlets). Product sales occur at the customer’s locations, at which time delivery occurs and cash or check payment is received. The Company recognizes the revenue when they receive payment at the time of delivery. There are no financing terms or variable transaction prices.
Copperhead Digital: ISP and Telecom Revenue
Copperhead Digital operated as a regional internet and telecom services provider operating in Arizona under the trade name Trucom. Although there are currently no customers and it will take capital to reopen this revenue stream, Copperhead Digital operated as a wireless telecommunications Internet Service Provider (“ISP”) facilitating both residential and commercial accounts. Copperhead Digital’s primary business model was subscription based, pre-paid monthly reoccurring revenues, from wireless delivered, high-speed internet connections. In addition, the company resold third-party satellite and DSL internet and IP telephony services. Revenue generated from sales of telecommunications services was recognized as the transaction with the customer is considered closed and the customer received and accepted the services that were the result of the transaction. There are no financing terms or variable transaction prices. Due date was detailed on monthly invoices distributed to customer. Services billed monthly in advance were deferred to the proper period as needed. Deferred revenue was contract liabilities for cash received before performance obligations for monthly services are satisfied. Certain of its products required specialized installation and equipment. For telecom products that included installation, if the installation met the criteria to be considered a separate element, product revenue was recognized upon delivery, and installation revenue was recognized when the installation was complete. The Installation Technician collected the signed quote containing terms and conditions when installing the site equipment at customer premises.
Revenue for installation services and equipment was billed separately from recurring ISP and telecom services and was recognized when equipment was delivered, and installation was completed. Revenue from ISP and telecom services was recognized monthly over the contractual period, or as services were rendered and accepted by the customer.
The overwhelming majority of revenue was recognized when transactions occurred. Since installation fees were generally small relative to the size of the overall contract and because most contracts were for a year or less, the impact of not recognizing installation fees over the contract was immaterial.
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. It also gives effect to any deemed dividends such as during the period for Series A Preferred Stock. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had shares that were potentially common stock equivalents as follows:
Convertible Promissory Notes | | | 5,323,753,920 | |
Series A Preferred Stock (1) | | | 14,370,105,951 | |
Series B Preferred Stock | | | 2,588,693 | |
Series D Preferred Stock (2) | | | 71,989,198 | |
Series E Preferred Stock (3) | | | 3,153,560,185 | |
Stock Options and Warrants | | | 129,116,666 | |
| | | 23,051,114,612 | |
_______________
(1) As of September 30, 2022, by amendment, holder of the Series A Preferred Stock which is Stephen J. Thomas, is guaranteed upon date of conversion to 60% of the common shares computed to include all projected conversions of all convertible debt and any other classes of Preferred Stock as if the conversions had taken place at the stated conversion price per share (i.e. for the avoidance of doubt – “fully diluted” as if such conversion had occurred prior to the Series A conversion.) The Company would have to authorize additional shares for this to occur as only 2,500,000,000 shares are currently authorized.
(2) Holders of the Series D Preferred Stock may decide after 12 months to convert to common stock @ 75% of the 30 day average market closing price (for previous 30 business days) divided into $5.00. There is also an automatic conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock without consent of holders upon any national exchange listing approval and the registration effectiveness of common stock underlying the conversion rights. The automatic conversion to common from Series D Preferred shall be @ 75% of the 30 day average market closing price (for previous 30 business days) divided into $5.00.
(3) Holders of the Series E Preferred Stock may decide after 12 months to convert to common stock @ 75% of the 30 day average market closing price (for previous 30 business days) divided into $5.00. There is also an automatic conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock without consent of holders upon any national exchange listing approval and the registration effectiveness of common stock underlying the conversion rights. The automatic conversion to common from Series E Preferred shall be @ 75% of the 30 day average market closing price (for previous 30 business days) divided into $5.00.
Financial Instruments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Our primary financial instruments at September 30, 2022 consisted of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and debt. We apply fair value measurement accounting to either record or disclose the value of our financial assets and liabilities in our financial statements. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. A fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available, and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
Described below are the three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
We consider our derivative financial instruments as Level 3. The balances for our derivative financial instruments as of September 30, 2022 are the following:
Derivative Instrument | | Fair Value | |
Convertible Promissory Notes | | $ | 3,868,395 | |
Fair value of Warrants issued with the derivative instruments | | | 209,948 | |
| | $ | 4,078,343 | |
Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards
Management has reviewed recently issued accounting pronouncements and have determined there are not any that would have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 2 – ACQUISITIONS
TPT Strategic Merger with Information Security and Training LLC
Dated as of June 29, 2022, TPT Strategic entered into a definitive agreement for the acquisition of the assets and Information Security and Training LLC (“IST LLC” or “IST”) (www.istincs.com) a General Construction and Information Technology Services company based in Huntsville Alabama with branch offices in Nashville TN, Birmingham Al, Jackson MS, Fort Campbell KY, New Orleans LA, and Joint Base Lewis-McChord. The TPT Strategic and IST, LLC agreement, which closed October 20, 2022, for the acquisition is a stock transaction where the founder and sole interest holder, Everett Lanier, is to receive Preferred Series B shares of TPT Strategic that will convert to a 10% ownership of TPT Strategic under certain conditions. The acquisition includes the assumption of all assets and certain liabilities which approximate $1.2M and $1.3M, respectively, as of December 31, 2021. Audited revenues and net loss for IST the year ended December 31, 2021 were approximately $2.6M and $63,000 respectively. Everett Lanier will remain as the President and will become a Board Member of TPT Strategic.
TPT Strategic previously entered into a merger agreement with Education System Management, Inc. (“EDSM”) which was contingent on EDSM completing an audit in six months, which EDSM did not complete.
On May 10, 2022, as part of a “Smart City” concept and to utilize its telecommunications expertise, the Company entered into Real Estate Sales Agreements to acquire approximately 135 acres of land in Tuskegee, with the Gray Family Limited Partnership and Lakeside Ranch, Inc. comprised of one approximate 45 acre parcel along Tuskegee Lake and the second an approximate 85 acre parcel along route 80 heading to Auburn, Alabama. Per the agreements, TPT Global Tech will be paying approximately $1,700,000 for the properties, of which it paid a combined $10,000 in down payments. The Company had until November 11, 2022 to close the transactions including paying the remainder of the purchase price. This did not happen, and the Company is in negotiations to finance this with a bank of which the Gray Family has verbally said they would honor. Closing of the transactions are subject to the validity of the verbal commitment and obtaining financing, all surveys and finalizing master plans for the kick-off the Company’s “Smart City” project.
NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.
We incurred $11,352,944 and $8,671,818, respectively, in losses, and we used $263,313 and $320,999, respectively, in cash for operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. We calculate the net cash used by operating activities by decreasing, or increasing in case of gain, our let loss by those items that do not require the use of cash such as depreciation, amortization, research and development, derivative expense or gain, gain or loss on extinguishment of debt and share-based compensation which totaled to a net $7,704,624 for 2022 and $4,456,370 for 2021.
In addition, we report increases and reductions in liabilities as uses of cash and deceases assets and increases in liabilities as sources of cash, together referred to as changes in operating assets and liabilities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we had a net increase in our operating assets and liabilities of $3,385,007 primarily from an increase in accounts payable from lag of payments for accounts payable for cash flow considerations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 we had a net increase to our operating assets and liabilities of $3,894,450 for similar reasons.
Cash flows provided by and used in financing activities were $175,057 and $773,387, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, these cash flows were generated from proceeds from convertible notes, loans and advances of $1,256,187 offset by payment on convertible loans, advances and factoring agreements of $1,391,580 and payments on amounts payable – related parties of $39,664. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, cash flows from financing activities primarily came from proceeds from the sale of Common Stock and Series D Preferred Stock of 233,244 and $610,502, respectively, convertible notes, loans and advances of $1,961,685 offset by payments on convertible loans, advances and factoring agreements of $2,024,497.
Cash flows used in investing activities were $16,297 and $219,298, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 primarily related to the acquisition of property and equipment.
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 a 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 were 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 $1,402,700 in PPP loans. All of these PPP loans were forgiven in the year ended December 31, 2021. The Company is also in the process of trying to raise debt and equity financing, some of which may have to be used for working capital shortfalls if revenues continue to decline.
In order for us to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements, we will need to obtain additional debt or equity financing and look for companies with cash flow positive operations that we can acquire. There can be no assurance that we will be able to secure additional debt or equity financing, that we will be able to acquire cash flow positive operations, or that, if we are successful in any of those actions, those actions will produce adequate cash flow to enable us to meet all our future obligations. Most of our existing financing arrangements are short-term. If we are unable to obtain additional debt or equity financing, we may be required to significantly reduce or cease operations.
NOTE 4 – PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment and related accumulated depreciation as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 are as follows:

The Medical Equipment was written off during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as it was taken out of service. A net loss of $124,643, included as part of other income (loss) on the consolidated statement of operations, was recorded offset by insurance proceeds of $71,643.

NOTE 6 -DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company previously adopted the provisions of ASC subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825-10”). ASC 825-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. ASC 825-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
The derivative liability as of September 30, 2022, in the amount of $4,078,343 has a level 3 classification under ASC 825-10.
The following table provides a summary of changes in fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities as of September 30, 2022.
| | Debt Derivative Liabilities | |
Balance, December 31, 2021 | | $ | 4,042,910 | |
Change in derivative liabilities from new notes payable and warrants | | | 622,518 | |
Change in derivative liabilities from the conversion of debt | | | (95,784 | ) |
Change in fair value of derivative liabilities at end of period – derivative expense | | | (491,301 | ) |
Balance, September 30, 2022 | | $ | 4,078,343 | |
Convertible notes payable and warrant derivatives – The Company issued convertible promissory notes which are convertible into common stock, at holders’ option, at a discount to the market price of the Company’s common stock. The Company has identified the embedded derivatives related to these notes relating to certain anti-dilutive (reset) provisions. These embedded derivatives included certain conversion features. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record fair value of the derivatives as of the inception date of debenture and to fair value as of each subsequent reporting date.
As of September 30, 2022, the Company marked to market the fair value of the debt derivatives and determined a fair value of $4,078,343 ($3,868,395 from the convertible notes and $209,948 from warrants) in Note 5 (2) above. The Company recorded a gain from change in fair value of debt derivatives of $491,301 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. 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 156.3% to 266.9%, (3) weighted average risk-free interest rate of 3.16% to 4.16% (4) expected life of 0.33 to 4.33 years, and (5) the quoted market price of $0.002 for the Company’s common stock.
NOTE 7 - STOCKHOLDERS' DEFICIT
Preferred Stock
As of September 30, 2022, we had authorized 100,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, of which certain shares had been designated as Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock.
All Preferred Stock is classified as mezzanine equity as a result of the Company not having enough authorized common shares to be able to issue common shares upon their conversion.
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
The Company designated 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock as Series A Preferred Stock. In February 2015, the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to Stephen Thomas, Chairman, CEO and President of the Company, valued at $3,117,000 for compensation expense. These shares are outstanding as of September 30, 2022.
The Series A Preferred Stock has a par value of $.001, is redeemable at the Company’s option at $100 per share, is senior to any other class or series of outstanding Preferred Stock or Common Stock and does not bear dividends. The Series A Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference immediately after any Senior Securities, as defined and amended, of an amount equal to amounts payable owing, including contingency amounts where Holders of the Series A have personally guaranteed obligations of the Company.
As of September 30, 2022, by amendment, holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall, collectively have the right to convert all of their Series A Preferred Stock when conversion is elected into that number of shares of Common Stock of the Company, as amended and restated July 5, 2022 by the Board of Directors and a majority of the outstanding voting shares of the Company, determined by the following formula: 60% of the common shares computed to include all projected conversions of all convertible debt and any other classes of Preferred Stock as if the conversions had taken place at the stated conversion price per share (i.e. for the avoidance of doubt – “fully diluted” as if such conversion had occurred prior to the Series A conversion.) The Company determined that due to the significance of the amendment, it should be accounted for as an extinguishment and fair valued the amended Series A Preferred Stock at $42,983,742, creating a deemed dividend of $39,866,742. The valuation of the amended Series A Preferred Stock was done by a qualified independent third party.
The record Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right to vote as if converted prior to the vote to an amount of shares equal to 60% of the common shares computed to include all projected conversions of all convertible debt and any other classes of Preferred Stock as if the conversions had taken place at the stated conversion price per share (i.e. for the avoidance of doubt – “fully diluted” as if such conversion had occurred prior to the Series A conversion) on any matter with holders of Common Stock for any vote required to approve any action, which Florida law provides may or must be approved by vote or consent of the holders of other series of voting shares and the holders of Common Stock or the holders of other securities entitled to vote, if any.
The Series A Preferred Stock is classified as mezzanine equity as a result of the Company not having enough authorized common shares to be able to issue common shares upon their conversion.
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
In February 2015, the Company designated 3,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.
The Series B Preferred Stock 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.

Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock have a right to convert all or any part of the Series B Preferred Shares and will receive and equal number of common shares at the conversion price of $2.00 per share. The Series B Preferred Stockholders have a right to vote on any matter with holders of Common Stock and shall have a number of votes equal to that number of Common Shares on a one-to-one basis.

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 number 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.

Operating lease obligations
The Company adopted Topic 842 on January 1, 2019. The Company elected to adopt this standard using the optional modified retrospective transition method and recognized a cumulative-effect adjustment to the consolidated balance sheet on the date of adoption. Comparative periods have not been restated. With the adoption of Topic 842, the Company’s consolidated balance sheet now contains the following line items: Operating lease right-of-use assets, Current portion of operating lease liabilities and Operating lease liabilities, net of current portion.
As all the existing leases subject to the new lease standard were previously classified as operating leases by the Company, they were similarly classified as operating leases under the new standard. The Company has determined that the identified operating leases did not contain non-lease components and require no further allocation of the total lease cost. Additionally, the agreements in place did not contain information to determine the rate implicit in the leases, so we used our estimated incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. Our weighted average discount rate is 10.0% and the weighted average lease term of 5.4 years.
We have various non-cancelable lease agreements for certain of our tower locations with original lease periods expiring between 2022 and 2044. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain we will exercise that option. Certain of the arrangements contain escalating rent payment provisions. An equipment lease described below and leases with an initial term of twelve months have not been recorded on the consolidated balance sheets. We recognize rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, operating lease right-of-use assets arising from operating leases were $3,544,160 and $4,259,758, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, cash paid for amounts included for the measurement of lease liabilities was $800,537 and the Company recorded lease expense in the amount of $1,683,392 in cost of sales.
The Company entered an operating agreement to lease colocation space for 5 years. This operating agreement starts October 1, 2020 for $7,140 per month. In addition, the Company entered into office space for Blue Collar which started April 2021 and runs for 3 years beginning at an average of $4,150 for the first six months, $8,300 for twelve months, $8,549 for the next twelve months and $8,805 for the following twelve months.

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

This employment agreement was effectively modified with the Software Acquisition Agreement described in Note 5 such that the Company is required to make payroll payments of $250,000 per year for five years to Ms. Caudle and payroll payments totaling $150,000 over three years to her daughter.
Litigation
On March 18, 2019, the Company issued to an Investor a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $600,000.00 (the “Auctus Promissory Note”) and Warrant Agreement (the “Auctus Warrant Agreement”) pursuant to that certain securities purchase agreement dated March 18, 2019 (the “Auctus SPA”) with Auctus Fund, LLC (“Auctus”). Pursuant to claims by Auctus that the Company had not complied with terms of the Auctus SPA, the Company and Auctus entered into a settlement agreement dated October 13, 2021 where by the Company would pay $763,231.97 and allow Auctus to exercise its right to exercise 15,000,000 warrants to purchase 15,000,000 shares of common stock. Auctus agreed to limit the sale of common shares of the Company to 2,000,000 during each respective calendar week. The Company recognized a gain on debt extinguishment of $7,068,339 when this Auctus Promissory Note was paid off in large part because of the related derivative liability on the books at the time of the settlement.
We have been named in a lawsuit by EMA Financial, LLC (“EMA”) for failing to comply with a Securities Purchase Agreement entered into in June 2019. More specifically, EMA claims the Company failed to honor notices of conversion, failed to establish and maintain share reserves, failed to register EMA shares and by failed to assure that EMA shares were Rule 144 eligible within 6 months. EMA has claimed in excess of $7,614,967 in relief. The Company has filed a motion in response for which EMA has filed a motion to dismiss. The Company does not believe at this time that any negative outcome would result in more than the $876,999 it has recorded on its balance sheet as of September 30, 2022.
A lawsuit was filed in Michigan by the one of the former owners of SpeedConnect, LLC, John Ogren. Mr. Ogren claimed he was owed back wages related to the acquisition agreement wherein the Company acquired the assets of SpeedConnect, LLC and kept him on through a consulting agreement. The Company’s position was that he ultimately resigned in writing and was not due any back wages. In August 2021, Mr. Ogren was awarded $334,908 in back wages by an Arbitrator. This amount has been included in accounts payable as of September 30, 2021 and expensed in the statement of operations as other expenses for the year ended December 31, 2021. Mr. Ogren and the Company agreed to a settlement whereby the Company would pay $120,000 within 14 days of a written agreement with four monthly payments of $20,000 starting on December 5, 2021 through March 2, 2022. This debt was completely paid off as of September 30, 2022.
We have been named in a lawsuit by a collection law firm on behalf of Pinnacle Towers LLC and Crown Atlantic Company Inc., against TPT Global Tech, Inc. The claim derives from an outstanding debt by incurred by Copperhead Digital. The lawsuit is over unpaid rent that should have been paid by Copperhead Digital but was not paid. The Company believes it has several defenses to this claim and is in the process of communicating with opposing counsel for dismissal of the claims which amount to $386,030.62 plus interest, costs and attorney fees. The Company has accounted for approximately $600,000 in payables on its consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2022 for this subsidiary payable.
Lawsuits are being threatened by vendors in relation to tower lease payments in accordance with tower lease agreements that were entered into by SpeedConnect. The claims are currently being investigated and the amount in controversy being claimed is approximately $3,500,000. The Company has approximately $4,000,000 in accounts payable for these threatened claims as of September 30, 2022, 2022. The claims appear to include lease agreements that have been terminated and future payments not yet due, among other issues. As such, the parties are trying to come up with resolutions for these claims.
The Company has been named in a lawsuit, Robert Serrett vs. TruCom, Inc., by a former employee who was terminated by management in 2016. The employee was working under an employment agreement but was terminated for breach of the agreement. The former employee is suing for breach of contract and is seeking around $75,000 in back pay and benefits. We learned that Mr. Serrett received a default judgement in Texas on May 15, 2018 for $70,650 plus $3,500 in attorney fees and 5% interest and court costs. However, he has made no attempt that we are aware of to obtain a sister state judgment in Arizona, where Trucom resides, or to try and enforce the judgement and collect. Management believes it has good and meritorious defenses and does not belief the outcome of the lawsuit will have any material effect on the financial position of the Company.
We are not currently involved in any litigation that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our company or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting our company, our common stock, any of our subsidiaries or of our companies or our subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect. We anticipate that we (including current and any future subsidiaries) will from time to time become subject to claims and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. It is not feasible to predict the outcome of any such proceedings and we cannot assure that their ultimate disposition will not have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.
Customer Contingencies
The Company has collected $338,725 from one customer in excess of amounts due from that customer in accordance with the customer’s understanding of the appropriate billings activity. The customer has filed a written demand for repayment by the Company of these amounts. Management believes that the customer agreement allows them to keep the amounts under dispute. Given the dispute, the Company has reflected the amounts in dispute as a customer liability on the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
