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 negative economic impact due to COVID-19.

Basis
of 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 March
31, 2022 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended
March 31, 2022 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, 2021 filed with the SEC on March 24, 2022.
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 three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company had:
● |
Net
loss available to common stockholders of $1,212,334;
and |
●
|
Net
cash used in operations was $3,323,556 |
Additionally,
at March 31, 2022, the Company had:

We
manage liquidity risk by reviewing, on an ongoing basis, our sources of liquidity and capital requirements. The Company has cash on hand
of $3,442,926 at March 31, 2022.
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 March
31, 2022, and our current capital structure including equity-based instruments and our obligations and debts.
Without
sufficient revenues from operations, if the Company does not obtain additional capital, the Company will be required to reduce the scope
of its business development activities or cease operations. The Company may 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:
● |
Continue
the hyper growth of the Affordable Connectivity Program revenue stream, |
● |
Execution
of business plan and significant revenue growth from prior period, |
● |
Pursuing
a line of credit to achieve the hyper growth of the Affordable Connectivity Program, |
● |
Expand
product and services offerings to a larger surrounding geographic area. |
● |
Continuing
to explore and execute prospective partnering or distribution opportunities; and |
● |
Identifying
unique market opportunities that represent potential positive short-term cash flow. |

2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles
of Consolidation and Non-Controlling Interest
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.
For
entities that are consolidated, but not 100% owned, a portion of the income or loss and corresponding equity is allocated to owners other
than the Company. The aggregate of the income or loss and corresponding equity that is not owned by us is included in Non-controlling
Interests in the consolidated financial statements.
Variable
Interest Entities
A
variable interest entity (“VIE”) is an entity that does not have sufficient equity at risk to finance its activities without
additional subordinated financial support or is structured such that equity investors lack the ability to control the entity’s
activities or do not substantially participate in the gains and losses of the entity. Upon inception of a contractual agreement, and
thereafter, if a reconsideration event occurs, the Company performs an assessment to determine whether the arrangement contains a variable
interest in an entity and whether that entity is a VIE. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the party that has both the power to direct
the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to
receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)
810 – Consolidations, where the Company concludes that it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, the Company consolidates
the accounts of that VIE.
Effective
January 1, 2022, the Company executed a management agreement with Torch Wireless (“Torch”). Generally, the Company was engaged
to handle the following services:
|
● |
Oversee
management of the business being conducted by Torch, |
|
● |
Involved
in the performance of Torch’s obligations under contracts regarding its business operations and maintenance of Torch’s
customer relationships, |
|
● |
Assist
Torch with regulatory compliance, |
|
● |
Manage
all billing and collection functions, including the right to collect revenues related to Torch’s business operations, as part
of the agreement, Torch may not participate in this function |
|
● |
Manage
all payment functions related to the business, including the right to disburse funds, as part of the agreement, Torch may not participate
in this function; and |
On
April 6, 2022, the Company acquired 100% of the equity of Torch in exchange for $800,000, resulting in Torch becoming a wholly-owned
subsidiary in a transaction accounted for as a business combination. Payment for Torch is expected to be completed during the second
quarter of 2022.

In
addition, the Company will pay the Sellers monthly residual payments for customers enrolled by the Company through December 31, 2022
of either $2 or $3 per customer (depending on the category of customer). While Torch has existing operations, it has not yet generated
material revenues. This transaction does not involve the purchase of a “significant amount of assets” as defined in the Instructions
to Item 2.01 of Form 8-K.
Torch
is a provider of subsidized mobile broadband services to consumers qualifying under the federal guidelines of the U.S. Federal Communication
Commission’s Affordable Connectivity Program (“ACP”). The ACP provides the Company up to a $100 reimbursement for the
cost of each tablet device distributed and a $30 per customer, per month subsidy for mobile broadband (internet connectivity) services.
With the purchase of Torch, the Company now has approval to offer subsidized mobile broadband in all fifty states.
At
March 31, 2022, Torch is a VIE and has been consolidated with the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash
flows.
The
following table summarizes the carrying amounts of Torch’s assets and liabilities (after the elimination of intercompany transactions

Business
Combinations
The
Company accounts for business acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting, in accordance with which assets acquired and liabilities
assumed are recorded at their respective fair values at the acquisition date.
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
December 31, 2021 and 2020, goodwill was $866,782, respectively. There were no impairment losses for the years ended December 31, 2021
and 2020, respectively.

Deconsolidation
of 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. During 2021, the $20,000
was forgiven. 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

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.

Use
of 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 three months ended March 31, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021, respectively, include, allowance for doubtful
accounts and other receivables, inventory reserves and classifications, 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.
Risks
and 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.
Fair
Value 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.
SURGEPAYS,
INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)
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
1 —Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets; |
|
● |
Level
2—Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly in the marketplace
for identical or similar assets and liabilities; and |
|
● |
Level
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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 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.

Cash
and 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
March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 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. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company did not
experience any losses on cash balances in excess of FDIC insured limits.
Accounts
Receivable
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 $137,218 and $137,218 at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
For
the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded a bad debt expense of $0 and $0, respectively.
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 primarily of tablets and sim cards. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the
first-in, first-out (FIFO) valuation method. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had inventory of $3,075,529 and $4,359,296,
respectively.
Impairment
of 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-Lived
Assets.” 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 months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Property
and 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 months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Right
of 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 March 31, 2022, 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.
Derivative
Liabilities
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”) “Derivatives
and 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

Revenue
Recognition
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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, 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.

Income
Taxes
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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, the Company had
no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

The
Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions in other expense. No interest and penalties related
to uncertain income tax positions were recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
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 (“2017
Tax 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 months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Stock-Based
Compensation
The
Company accounts for our 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
fair value of stock based 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.

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.
Basic
and 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.

Based
on the potential common stock equivalents noted above at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, the Company has sufficient

Recent

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 consolidated
financial statements of the Company.
In
June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 - Financial Instruments-Credit Losses-Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. Codification
Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, have been released in November 2018 (2018-19), November 2019
(2019-10 and 2019-11) and a January 2020 Update (2020-02) that provided additional guidance on this Topic. This guidance replaces the
current incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a
broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. For SEC filers meeting certain criteria, the
amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019.
For
SEC filers that meet the criteria of a smaller reporting company (including this Company) and for non-SEC registrant public companies
and other organizations, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning
after December 15, 2022. Early adoption will be permitted for all organizations for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal
years, beginning after December 15, 2019.
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.
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 intra period 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
consolidation financial statements.
In
August 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity; Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”),
as part of its overall simplification initiative to reduce costs and complexity of applying accounting standards while maintaining or
improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. Among other changes, the new guidance removes
from GAAP separation models for convertible debt that require the convertible debt to be separated into a debt and equity component,
unless the conversion feature is required to be bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative or the debt is issued at a substantial premium.
As a result, after adopting the guidance, entities will no longer separately present such embedded conversion features in equity and
will instead account for the convertible debt wholly as debt. The new guidance also requires use of the “if-converted” method
when calculating the dilutive impact of convertible debt on earnings per share, which is consistent with the Company’s current
accounting treatment under the current guidance. The guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted, but only at the beginning of the
fiscal year.
We
adopted this pronouncement on January 1, 2022; 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

ECS
has been a financial technology 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 March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $163,377 and $202,127, respectively.
Estimated
amortization expense for each of the five (5) succeeding years is as follows:

Note
5 – Debt
The
following represents a summary of the Company’s notes payable – SBA government, loans payable – related parties, notes
payable and convertible notes, key terms, and outstanding balances at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively:
Notes
Payable – SBA government
(1) Paycheck Protection Program - PPP Loan
Pertaining
to the Company’s eighteen (18) month loan and in accordance with the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) and Conditional
Loan Forgiveness, the promissory note evidencing the loan contains customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment
defaults, breach of representations and warranties, or provisions of the promissory note. The occurrence of an event of default may result
in the repayment of all amounts outstanding, collection of all amounts owing from the Company, and/or filing suit and obtaining judgment
against the Company.
Under
the terms of the PPP loan program, all or a portion of this Loan may be forgiven upon request from Borrower to Lender, provided the Loan
proceeds are used in accordance with the terms of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “Act” or “CARES”),
Borrower is not in default under the Loan or any of the Loan Documents, and Borrower has provided documentation to Lender supporting
such request for forgiveness that includes verifiable information on Borrower’s use of the Loan proceeds, to Lender’s satisfaction,
in its sole and absolute discretion.
(2) Economic Injury Disaster Loan (“EIDL”)
This
program was made available to eligible borrowers in light of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the negative economic impact on
the Company’s business. Proceeds from the EIDL are to be used for working capital purposes.
Installment
payments, including principal and interest, are due monthly (beginning twelve (12) months from the date of the promissory note) in amounts
ranging from $109 - $751/month. The balance of principal and interest is payable over the next thirty (30) years from the date of the
promissory note. There are no penalties for prepayment. Based upon guidance issued by the SBA on June19, 2020, the EIDL Loan is not required
to be refinanced by the PPP loan.

Line
of 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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $0 and $0, respectively. In connection with the deconsolidation of TW in May
2021, the buyer assumed the line of credit.
Note
6 – Derivative Liabilities
During
2021, the above convertible notes contained embedded conversion options 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:

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 December 31, 2021:

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 March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded a change in fair of derivative liabilities of $0 and $303,850, respectively.
These amounts reflect a mark to market adjustment recorded to the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

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 years ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded a derivative expense of $0 and $1,775,057, respectively.
During
the year ended December 31, 2021, in connection with the repayment of convertible notes which contained embedded conversion features,
the related derivative liabilities ceased to exist.
During
the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded a gain of $0 and $141,578, respectively, related to the settlement
of convertible debt which contained an embedded conversion feature and was separately bifurcated and classified as a derivative liability.
The Company has recorded these gains in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations as a component of gain on settlement of
liabilities.
Note
7 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The
Company evaluates its financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements on a recurring basis to determine the appropriate
level in which to classify them for each reporting period. This determination requires significant judgments to be made.
The
Company did not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively

8 – Commitments and Contingencies
Operating
Lease
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.
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.
At
March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, the Company has no financing leases as defined in ASC 842, “Leases.”

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 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. The Company believes this matter is simply
an anti-competitive attempt by Terracom to cause distress to True Wireless.

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
These
two lawsuits involved AltCorp Trading, LLC, Stanley Hills, LLC, and Glen Eagles Acquisition LP (the “AltCorp Parties.”).
Each of these lawsuits were ultimately disputes relating to the total consideration the Company paid to GBT Technologies, Inc. (“GBT”)
to acquire all of the assets of the entities that comprise the ECS Business (prior to the Company’s January 2020 acquisition of
the entities themselves).
On
October 18, 2021, the AltCorp Parties, GBT, and the Company entered into a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (the “MOU”)
to set up a framework for an attempt to settle the two lawsuits.
On
December 22, 2021 (the “Effective Date”), pursuant to the framework in the MOU, the AltCorp Parties, Igor 1 Corp. (an entity
related to the AltCorp Parties), the Company, ECS Prepaid LLC (“ECS LLC), and, in his individual capacity, Kevin Brian Cox (the
Company’s Chief Executive Officer), entered into a Resolution of Purchase, Mutual Release, and Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement
Agreement”) to settle the two lawsuits and resolve all disputes related to the consideration paid by the Company to GBT.
This
Settlement Agreement was entered into pursuant to a resolution of the Board authorizing the negotiation of and entry into of such agreement.
As
part of this agreement, the Company has acquired GBT’s rights to a certain Master Distribution and Service Agreement between Interactive
Communications International, Inc. and W.L. Petrey Wholesale Company, Inc., d/b/a UGO-HUB dated August 29, 2016 (the “MDA”),
as amended. The MDA contains sales channel access to a variety of unique wholesale prepaid products with approximately $1,500,000 to
$2,500,000 in monthly revenue. The MDA is the subject of a lawsuit between GBT and Robert Warren Jackson, RWJ Advanced Marketing LLC,
and Gregory Bauer int federal district court in Nevada (the “GBT Lawsuit”).

If
the result of the GBT Lawsuit is an assignment of the MDA to GBT or that GBT or an affiliate of GBT is the legal owner of the MDA, GBT
or such affiliate will assign the MDA to Surge and GBT shall be entitled to receive the Escrow Amount. If the result of the GBT Lawsuit
is a monetary judgment without the assignment or legal decree of ownership of the MDA, GBT shall be entitled to receive the Escrow Amount
and shall assign and timely pay to the Company the first one million dollars ($1,000,000) GBT recovers from the defendants in the GBT
Lawsuit. In the event that GBT does not prevail in the GBT Lawsuit then it shall be entitled to release of the Escrow Amount but shall
be responsible for any fees and costs obligation sought by the defendants in the GBT Lawsuit.
The
Company agreed to make total payments of four million two hundred thousand dollars ($4,200,000) to Stanley Hills, LLC on or prior to
January 7, 2022. This $4.2 million amount consists of a total of four hundred fifty thousand dollars ($450,000) paid by the Company in
November and December 2021, one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) to be paid on or about January 4, 2022, and three million six hundred
fifty thousand dollars ($3,650,000) to be paid on or prior to January 7, 2022 of which three hundred seventy-five thousand dollars ($375,000)
will be held in escrow (the “Escrow Amount”). At December 31, 2021, the Company had accrued $3,750,000 as a settlement expense,
which was paid on January 7, 2022.
In
addition, Igor 1 Corp. as of the Effective Date, held one hundred ten thousand (110,000)
shares of the Company’s common stock that has a restrictive legend (the “Igor Shares”). The owner of Igor 1 Corp. will
be responsible for and shall pay for attempting to have the restrictive legend from the Igor Shares removed (with the Company agreeing
to pay seven hundred fifty dollars ($750)
to help pay for the legal opinion required). If Igor 1 Corp. is unable to have the legend removed prior to January 30, 2022, the Company
will pay Igor 1 Corp. five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000)
within five (5) trading days to purchase the Igor Shares back and then cancel them. As of February 4, 2022 (five trading days after
January 30th), the Company was not asked to pay Igor 1 Corp. any funds related to this possible share cancellation.
Glen
Eagles and a related entity as of the Effective Date, held three thousand (3,000) shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Glen
Eagles Shares”). The Glen Eagles shares shall be sold on the open market within thirty (30) days following the Effective Date.
If for any reason the consideration for the Glen Eagles shares is less than fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000), the Company will have
the obligation to compensate Glen Eagles for the difference between the actual amount received and $15,000. Such difference shall be
paid within five (5) days of Glen Eagles providing written proof of the proceeds of the sale of the Glen Eagles Shares. Glen Eagles was
paid $8,552.25 on February 16, 2022 for full settlement.

Chapman, on behalf of herself and others similarly situated, Plaintiff versus SurgePays, Inc., Defendant; U.S. District Court for 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.

Blue
Skies Connections, LLC, and True Wireless, Inc. v. SurgePays, Inc., et. al.: In the District Court of Oklahoma County, OK, CJ-2021-5327,
filed on December 13, 2021. Plaintiffs’ petition alleges breach of a Stock Purchase Agreement by SurgePays, SurgePhone Wireless,
LLC, and Kevin Brian Cox, and makes other allegations related to SurgePays’ consulting work with Jonathan Coffman, a True Wireless
employee. Blue Skies believes the Defendants are in violation of their non-competition and non-solicitation agreements related to the
sale of True Wireless from SurgePays to Blue Skies. Oklahoma state law does not recognize non-compete agreements and non-solicitation
agreements in the manner alleged by Plaintiffs, as such we believe SurgePays, SurgePhone, and Cox have a strong defense against the claims
asserted by Blue Skies and True Wireless. The matter is in the early stages of the discovery process. Mr. Coffman is no longer working
for True Wireless. The petition requests injunctive relief, general damages, punitive damages, attorney fees and costs for alleged breach
of contract, tortious interference with a business relationship, and fraud. Plaintiffs have made a written demand for damages and the
parties continue to discuss a potential resolution. This matter is an anti-competitive attempt by Blue Skies and True Wireless to damage
