NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 – ORGANIZATION

DSG Global, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on September 24, 2007.

The Company is a technology development company engaged in the design, manufacture, and marketing of fleet management solutions in the golf industry. The Company’s principal activities are the sale and rental of GPS tracking devices and interfaces for golf vehicles and related support services.

On April 13, 2015, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with DSG Tag Systems Inc. (“DSG Tag”), now wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on April 17, 2008 and extra provincially registered in British Columbia, Canada in 2008. In March 2011, DSG TAG formed DSG Tag Systems International, Ltd. in the United Kingdom (“DSG UK”). DSG UK is a wholly owned subsidiary of DSG TAG.

On March 26, 2019, the Company effected a reverse stock split of its shares of common stock on a four thousand (4,000) old for one (1) new basis. Upon effect of the reverse split, authorized capital decreased from 3,000,000,000 shares of common stock to 750,000 shares of common stock, with a par value of $0.001. Shares of Preferred Stock remain unchanged. These consolidated financial statements give retroactive effect to such reverse stock split named above and all share and per share amounts have been adjusted accordingly, unless otherwise noted.

Note 2 – GOING CONCERN

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders and note holders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and ultimately the attainment of profitable operations. As at March 31, 2019, the Company has a working capital deficit of $13,845,720 and has an accumulated deficit of $49,227,794 since inception. Furthermore, the Company incurred a net loss of $7,172,973 and used $227,589 of cash flows for operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2019. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to U.S. GAAP rules and regulations for presentation of interim financial information. Therefore, the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. Current and future financial statements may not be directly comparable to the Company’s historical financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there have been no material changes in the information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of Management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, have been made. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019.

Principles of Consolidation

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DSG Global Inc. and its subsidiary DSG Tag, and its wholly owned subsidiary DSG UK, collectively referred to as the Company. All material intercompany accounts, transactions and profits were eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of interim condensed consolidated 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 interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements in the period they are determined. New estimates in the period relate to determining the Company’s estimated incremental borrowing rate in recognizing right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. Differences in the estimated incremental borrowing rate could result in materially different lease liabilities and right-of-use assets.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, established Topic 842, Leases, by issuing Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, which requires lessors to classify leases as a sales-type, direct financing, or operating lease and requires lessees to recognize leases on-balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Topic 842 was subsequently amended by ASU No. 2018-01, Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842; ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases; and ASU No. 2018-11, Targeted Improvements.

The Company adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2019 and elected the modified retrospective for the transition. The Company elected the following practical expedients:

Lessee Accounting

The new standard requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases are classified as finance or operating at inception, with classification affecting the pattern and recording of expenses in the statement of operations. Upon transition the Company recognized lease assets and lease liabilities principally for its office lease. When measuring lease liabilities for leases that were classified as operating leases, the Company discounted lease payments using its incremental borrowing rate at January 1, 2019. The weighted-average incremental borrowing rate applied was 11.98%. Refer to Notes 5 and 11.

Reclassification

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations or cash flow.

Note 4 – TRADE RECEIVABLES, NET

As of March 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, trade receivables consist of the following:

Note 5 – FIXED ASSETS AND EQUIPMENT ON LEASE

Note 6 – INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets consist of the following as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

The estimated useful life of the patent is 20 years. Patents are amortized on a straight-line basis. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, total depreciation expense was $307 and $283, respectively.

Note 7 – TRADE AND OTHER PAYABLES

As of March 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, trade and other payables consist of the following:

Note 8 – LOANS PAYABLE

As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, loans payable consisted of the following:

On March 8, 2019, the Company entered into a convertible bridge loan agreement (the “Share-Settled Loan”). The Share-Settled Loan bears interest at 4.99% per month, was due in 60 days on May 7, 2019 and is convertible into restricted common shares of the Company at the lender’s option at the market price per share less a 30% discount to market. The Company has accounted the Share-Settled Loan as share-settled debt. It is initially recognized at its fair value and accreted to its share-settled redemption value of $214,286 over the term of the debt. At March 31, 2019, the carrying value consists of principal of $150,000 and accumulated accretion of $29,284. The Share-Settled Loan was not repaid on May 7, 2019 and is in default.

Note 9 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES

As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, convertible loans payable consisted of the following:

Related Party Convertible Loans Payable

Third Party Convertible Loans Payable

Note 10 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

The Company records the fair value of the of the conversion price of the convertible debentures disclosed in Note 9 in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The fair value of the derivative was calculated using a multi-nominal lattice model. The fair value of the derivative liabilities is revalued on each balance sheet date with corresponding gains and losses recorded in the consolidated statement of operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recorded a loss on the change in fair value of derivative liability of $6,635,917 (2018 – $5,616,261). As at March 31, 2019, the Company’s derivative liability had a balance of $8,949,271 (December 31, 2018 - $2,188,354).

The following inputs and assumptions were used to value the derivative liabilities outstanding at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, assuming no dividend yield:

A summary of the activity of the derivative liabilities is shown below:

Note 11 - LEASES

The Company leases certain assets under lease agreements. The lease liability consists of a single lease for office space. Upon adoption of Topic 842, on January 1, 2019 the Company recognized right-of-use assets of $51,203 and lease liabilities of $47,118. The difference between the recorded operating lease assets and lease liabilities is mainly due to the reclassification of prepaid rent deposits. As of March 31, 2019, the lease had a remaining term of 1.2 years. Right-of-use assets have been included within fixed assets, net, and lease liabilities have been included in operating lease liability on the Company’s interim condensed consolidated balance sheet as follows:

Operating lease liabilities are measured at the commencement date based on the present value of future lease payments. As the Company’s lease did not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The Company used a weighted average discount rate of 11.98% in determining its lease liabilities. The discount rate was derived from the Company’s assessment of current borrowings.

Right-of-use assets include any prepaid lease payments and exclude any lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease if it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.

Accretion on operating lease liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $1,388. Principal payments against the operating lease liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $9,453.

Future minimum lease payments to be paid by the Company as a lessee for operating leases as of March 31, 2019 for the next two years and thereafter are as follows:

On March 26, 2019, the Company effected a reverse stock split of its shares of common stock on a four thousand (4,000) old for one (1) new basis. Upon effect of the reverse split, authorized capital decreased from 3,000,000,000 shares of common stock to 750,000 shares of common stock. These consolidated financial statements give retroactive effect to such reverse stock split named above and all share and per share amounts have been adjusted accordingly, unless otherwise noted.

There were 690,403 and 634,971 shares of common stock of the Company issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Each share of common stock is entitled to one (1) vote.

Common Equity Transactions

During the three months ended March 31, 2019 the Company had the following transactions:

Note 15 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

As at March 31, 2019, the Company owed $152,866 ($204,137 CDN) (December 31, 2018 - $139,835 ($190,764 CDN)) to the President, CEO, and CFO of the Company for management fees and salaries, which has been recorded in trade and other payables. The amounts owed and owing are unsecured, non-interest bearing, and due on demand. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 the Company incurred $50,000 (2018 - $50,000) in salaries to the President, CEO, and CFO of the Company.

The balance owing has been recorded in trade and other payables. The amount owing is unsecured, non-interest bearing, and due on demand.

Note 17 – COMMITMENTS

In the normal course of business, the Company indemnifies other parties, including customers, lessors, and parties to other transactions with the Company, with respect to certain matters. The Company has agreed to hold the other parties harmless against losses arising from a breach of representations or covenants, or out of intellectual property infringement or other claims made against certain parties. These agreements may limit the time within which an indemnification claim can be made and the amount of the claim. In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its officers and directors, and the Company’s bylaws contain similar indemnification obligations to the Company’s agents. It is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount under these indemnification agreements due to the Company’s limited history with prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Historically, payments made by the Company under these agreements have not had a material effect on the Company’s operating results, financial position, or cash flows.

Note 18 – CONTINGENCIES

On September 7, 2016, Chetu Inc. filed a Complaint for Damage in Florida to recover an unpaid invoice amount of $27,335 plus interest of $4,939. The invoice was not paid due to a service dispute.

Refer to Note 9. Coastal alleges that the Company failed to deliver shares of common stock underlying the Coastal notes, and thus giving rise to an event of default. Coastal seeks damages in excess of $250,000 for breach of contact damages, and legal fees incurred by Coastal with respect to the lawsuit. This action is still pending. As at March 31, 2019, the principal balance and accrued interest on this convertible note is included on the consolidated balance sheet under convertible notes payable.

On October 10, 2017, a vendor filed a complaint for Breach of Contract with Superior Court of the State of California. The Complainant is alleging that it is contractually owed 462 shares of the Company’s common stock and is seeking damages of $270,000. In addition, a related vendor filed in the same filing a complaint for $72,000 as part of a consulting agreement the Company executed. No accrual has been recorded because the Company is of the opinion that no obligation exists since the vendors have not performed their contractual duties.

On April 9, 2018, the Company received a share-reserve increase letter from JSJ Investments Inc. (“JSJ”) pursuant to the terms of a 10% convertible promissory note issued to the Company in the principal amount of $135,000.

Corporate History

DSG Global, Inc. (formerly Boreal Productions Inc.) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on September 24, 2007. We were formed to option feature films and TV projects to be packaged and sold to movie studios and production companies.

In January 2015, we changed our name to DSG Global, Inc. and effected a one-for-three reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock in anticipation of entering in a share exchange agreement with DSG TAG Systems, Inc., a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on April 17, 2008 and extra provincially registered in British Columbia, Canada in 2008.

On April 13, 2015, we entered into a share exchange agreement with DSG TAG Systems Inc. and the shareholders of DSG TAG Systems who become parties to the agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the share exchange agreement, we agreed to acquire not less than 75% and up to 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares in the capital stock of DSG TAG Systems in exchange for the issuance to the selling shareholders of up to 20,000,000 shares of our common stock on the basis of 1 common share for 5.4935 common shares of DSG TAG Systems.

On May 6, 2015, we completed the acquisition of approximately 75% (82,435,748 common shares) of the issued and outstanding common shares of DSG TAG Systems as contemplated by the share exchange agreement by issuing 15,185,875 shares of our common stock to shareholders of DSG TAG Systems who became parties to the agreement. In addition, concurrent with the closing of the share exchange agreement, we issued an additional 179,823 shares of our common stock to Westergaard Holdings Ltd. in partial settlement of accrued interest on outstanding indebtedness of DSG TAG Systems.

Following the initial closing of the share exchange agreement and through October 22, 2015, we acquired an additional 101,200 shares of common stock of DSG TAG Systems from shareholders who became parties to the share exchange agreement and issued to these shareholders an aggregate of 18,422 shares of our common stock. Following completion of these additional purchases, DSG Global owns approximately 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of DSG TAG Systems. An aggregate of 4,229,384 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of DSG TAG Systems continues to be held by Westergaard Holdings Ltd., an affiliate of Keith Westergaard, a former member of our board of directors.

The reverse acquisition was accounted for as a recapitalization effected by a share exchange, wherein DSG TAG Systems is considered the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes. The assets and liabilities of the acquired entity have been brought forward at their book value and no goodwill has been recognized. We adopted the business and operations of DSG TAG Systems upon the closing of the share exchange agreement.

While the golf industry remains the primary focus of our sales and marketing efforts, we have completed several successful pilots of the TAG system in other markets such as agriculture and commercial fleet operations. With appropriate resources, we intend to expand our sales and marketing efforts into these new markets.

We are expanding our sales force in North America, which comprises the most significant portion of the golf fleet market and have developed key relationships with privately owned distributors and golf equipment manufacturers such as E-Z-GO, Yamaha and Ransomes Jacobsen to help drive sales through-out Europe, Asia, UK and many other markets worldwide Including our most recent move to New Zealand and Australia.

In order to successfully deliver products, increase sales, and maintain customer satisfaction, we need to have a reliable supplier of our hardware units and components at competitive prices. Presently, we source our TAG and INFINITY fleet from one fortune 200 companies in NA who has manufacturing in China and our RAPTORS from one supplier in the United Kingdom and Asia. This new relationship that has been established provides us with higher quality, newer technology at competitive pricing.

In addition, VTS recently engaged with a telecommunications provider to provide new technology in hardware and wireless access through-out the world therefor allowing VTS to substantially reduce cellular cost.

Our most recent product that is used to increase the Pace of Play on the course up to 90 minutes per round is the RAPTOR. Our 3 wheel single rider allows the course to revenue share with VTS as the RAPTOR is put on the course free of charge and then allows the course to revenue share with VTS along the way. Each seat is rented to the customers for minimum $25 per round.

Our Revenue Model

We derive revenue from four different sources, as follows:

We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. In instances where final acceptance of the product is specified by the customer, revenue is deferred until all acceptance criteria have been met. We accrue for warranty costs, sales returns, and other allowances based on its historical experience.

Our revenue recognition policies are discussed in more detail under “Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Cost of Revenue

Our cost of revenue consists primarily of hardware purchases, wireless data fees, mapping, installation costs, freight expenses and inventory adjustments.

We expect to continue to invest in corporate infrastructure and incur additional expenses associated with being a public company, including increased legal and accounting costs, investor relations costs, higher insurance premiums and compliance costs associated with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. In addition, we expect sales and marketing expenses to increase in absolute dollars in future periods. In particular, we expect to incur additional marketing costs to support the expansion of our offerings in new markets like commercial fleet management and agriculture.

Additional Capital

We require additional capital to continue to develop software and products, meet our contractual obligations, and execute our business plan. There can be no assurances that we will be able to raise additional capital on acceptable terms or at all, which would adversely affect our ability to achieve our business objectives.

Results of Operations

We had a net loss of $7,172,973 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019, which was $1,649,444 or 18.7% less than the net loss of $8,822,417 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2018. The primary reason is attributable to the decrease in loss on extinguishment of debt, foreign exchange loss and finance costs, partially offset by the increase in change in fair value of derivative loss.

The following table summarizes key items of comparison and their related increase (decrease) for the three -month periods March 31, 2019 and 2018:

Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018:

Revenue

Revenue increased by $390,528 or 352.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Sales increased as the result of aggressive marketing and installation of the new infinity suite of products compared to lower sales in the comparative period.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue increased by $287,739, or 1,569.9%, for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the three months March 31, 2018. The table below outlines the differences in detail:

The overall increase was due to the increase of cost of goods sold, partially offset by a decrease in wireless fees.

Compensation Expense

Compensation expense decreased by $73,545, or 35.3%, for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018 due to a reduction in headcount and employees.

General and Administration Expense

General & administration expense decreased by $130,257 or 36.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018. The table below outlines the differences in detail:

The overall decrease in general and administrative expenses was primary related to a decrease in office expense, rent, software and other charges of $121,698 or 53.9% primarily due to a reduction in rent expense and travel and other expenses. Rent expense decreased as the Company relocating to a new office space. Travel and other expenses decreased as the Company began providing remote service and support, rather than on-site support and attended a trade show in the prior but not current period.

Foreign Currency Exchange

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we recognized a $17,637 foreign exchange gain as compared to a $560,666 foreign exchange loss for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The change was primarily due to settlement of various foreign currency denominated debt instruments in the prior year as well as beneficial changes in foreign currency rates on payables, receivables and other foreign exchange transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currencies of the legal entities in which the transactions are recorded. Foreign currency fluctuations are primarily from the Canadian Dollar, Euro and British pound.

Unrealized (Gain) Loss on Derivative

Derivative expense increased by $1,019,656 or 18.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018 due to the change in fair value as of March 31, 2019 triggering unrealized losses on derivative instruments in the current quarter ending on convertible notes payable. The change in fair value was impacted heavily due to the volatility in the Company’s stock price.

Finance Costs

Finance costs decreased by $438,806 or 59.3%, for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018. Finance costs decreased due to the large number of conversions of settlement of Notes in the current period and prior year.
