DSG GLOBAL, INC.
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”), now a 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 formed DSG Tag Systems International, Ltd. in the United Kingdom (“DSG UK”). DSG UK is a wholly owned subsidiary of DSG.
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. On May 23, 2019, the Company approved to increase its authorized common stock to 150,000,000, 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.
On September 15, 2020, the Company incorporated Imperium Motor Corp. (“Imperium”), under the laws of the State of Nevada on September 10, 2020, for which it subscribed to all authorized capital stock, 100 shares of Preferred Class A Stock, at a price of $0.001 per share. Imperium is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
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.
The recent outbreak of the coronavirus, also known as "COVID-19", has spread across the globe and is impacting worldwide economic activity. Conditions surrounding the coronavirus continue to rapidly evolve and government authorities have implemented emergency measures to mitigate the spread of the virus. The outbreak and the related mitigation measures may have an adverse impact on global economic conditions as well as on the Company’s business activities. The extent to which the coronavirus may impact the Company’s business activities will depend on future developments, such as the ultimate geographic spread of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, travel restrictions, business disruptions, and the effectiveness of actions taken in Canada and other countries to contain and treat the disease. These events are highly uncertain and as such, the Company cannot determine their financial impact at this time. While certain restrictions are presently in the process of being relaxed, it is unclear when the world will return to the previous normal, if ever. This may adversely impact the expected implementation of the Company’s plans moving forward. The Company has seen a decline in its revenues for the nine months ending September 30, 2020 of approximately 41.8%, largely as a result of the challenges related to COVID-19.
As at September 30, 2020, the Company has a working capital deficit of $9,626,553 and has an accumulated deficit of $54,417,037 since inception. Furthermore, the Company incurred a net loss of $9,284,096 and used $669,096 of cash flows for operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. 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.

The accompanying interim 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 interim condensed 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, 2019. 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, 2019 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020.

Principles of Consolidation
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DSG Global Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries DSG, Vantage Tag Systems, Inc. DSG UK, and Imperium Motor Corp (collectively referred to as the “Company”). All intercompany accounts, transactions and profits were eliminated in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
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. There were no new estimates in the period.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Loss on financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology with the expected credit loss impairment model, which requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to estimate expected credit losses over the life of the instrument instead of only when losses are incurred. This standard applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost basis and investments in leases recognized by the lessor. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020 with no impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

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 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.
Operating lease expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $24,034 and $54,803, respectively (2019 - $18,418 and $55,231, respectively) and is recorded in general and administration expense.

Product Warranties
The Company’s warranty policy generally covers a period of two years which is also covered by the manufacturer warranty. Thus, any warranty costs incurred by the Company are immaterial.
Indemnifications
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.

On June 13, 2017, Coastal filed a Complaint and Motion for a Preliminary Injunction seeking conversion of the principal amount of a note issued by it to the Company into common stock of the Company.

These events are highly uncertain and as such, the Company cannot determine their financial impact at this time.

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. (“DSG”) and the shareholders of DSG 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 in exchange for the issuance to the selling shareholders of up to 20,000,000 pre-reverse split shares of our common stock on the basis of 1 common share for 5.4935 common shares of DSG.
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 as contemplated by the share exchange agreement by issuing 15,185,875 pre-reverse split shares of our common stock to shareholders of DSG who became parties to the agreement. In addition, concurrent with the closing of the share exchange agreement, we issued an additional 179,823 pre-reverse split shares of our common stock to Westergaard Holdings Ltd. in partial settlement of accrued interest on outstanding indebtedness of DSG.
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 from shareholders who became parties to the share exchange agreement and issued to these shareholders an aggregate of 18,422 pre-reverse split shares of our common stock. Following completion of these additional purchases, DSG Global Inc. owns approximately 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of DSG. An aggregate of 4,229,384 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of DSG were exchanged for 51 Series B and 3,000,000 Series E preferred shares during the year ended December 31, 2018 by Westergaard Holdings Ltd., an affiliate of Keith Westergaard, a previous member of our board of directors which have not been issued as of September 30, 2020.
The reverse acquisition was accounted for as a recapitalization effected by a share exchange, wherein DSG 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 upon the closing of the share exchange agreement.

Components of Our Results of Operations
Revenue
We derive revenue from four different sources, as follows:
Systems sales revenue, which consists of the sales price paid by those customers who purchase or lease our TAG system hardware.
Monthly service fees are paid by all customers for the wireless data fee charges required to operate the GPS tracking on the TAG systems.
Monthly rental Fees are paid by those customers that rent the TAG system hardware. The amount of a customer’s monthly payment varies based on the type of equipment rented (a TAG, a TAG and TEXT, or a TAG and INFINITY).
Programmatic advertising revenue is a new source of revenue that we believe has the potential to be strategic for us in the future. We are in the process of implementing and designing software to provide advertising and other media functionality on our INFINITY units.
We recognize revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product to a customer. Revenue is measured based on the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products. 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 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-K.
Cost of Revenue
Our cost of revenue consists primarily of hardware purchases, wireless data fees, mapping, installation costs, freight expenses and inventory adjustments.
Hardware purchases. Our equipment purchases consist primarily of TAG system control units, TEXT display, and INFINITY displays. The TAG system control unit is sold as a stand-alone unit or in conjunction with our TEXT alphanumeric display or INFINITY high definition “touch activated” display. Hardware purchases also include costs of components used during installations, such as cables, mounting solutions, and other miscellaneous equipment.
Wireless data fees. Our wireless data fees consist primarily of the data fees charged by outside providers of GPS tracking used in all of our TAG system control units.
Mapping. Our mapping costs consist of aerial mapping, course map, geofencing, and 3D flyovers for golf courses. This cost is incurred at the time of hardware installation.
Installation. Our installation costs consist primarily of costs incurred by our employed service technicians for the cost of travel, meals, and miscellaneous components required during installations. In addition, these costs also include fees paid to external contractors for installations on a project by project basis.
Freight expenses and Inventory adjustments. Our freight expenses consist primarily of costs to ship hardware to courses for installations. Our inventory adjustments include inventory write offs, write downs, and other adjustments to the cost of inventory.
Operating expenses & other income (expenses) We classify our operating expenses and other income (expenses) into six categories: compensation, general and administrative, warranty, foreign currency exchange, and finance costs. Our operating expenses consist primarily of sales and marketing, salaries and wages, consulting fees, professional fees, trade shows, software development, and allocated costs. Allocated costs include charges for facilities, office expenses, telephones and other miscellaneous expenses. Our other income (expenses) primarily consists of financing costs and foreign exchange gains or losses.
30 |
Compensation expense. Our compensation expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, such as employee salaries, payroll expenses, employee benefits and share-based payments to employees. This includes salaries for management, administration, engineering, sales and marketing, and service support technicians. Salaries and wages directly related to projects or research and development are expensed as incurred to their operating expense category.
General and administrative. Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of sales and marketing, commissions, travel, trade shows, consultant fees, insurance, and compliance and other administrative functions, as well as accounting and legal professional services fees, allocated costs and other corporate expenses. Sales and marketing includes brand marketing, marketing materials, and media management.
Warranty expense (recovery). Our warranty expenses consist primarily of associated material product costs, labor costs for technical support staff, and other associated overhead. Warranty costs are expensed as they are incurred.
Bad debt. Our bad debt expense consists primarily of amounts written down for doubtful accounts recorded on trade receivables.
Depreciation and amortization. Our depreciation and amortization costs consist primarily of depreciation and amortization on fixed assets, equipment on lease and intangible assets.
Foreign currency exchange. Our foreign currency exchange consists primarily of foreign exchange fluctuations recorded in Canadian dollar (CAD), British Pounds (GBP), or Euro (EUR) at the rates of exchange in effect when the transaction occurred.
Finance costs. Our finance costs consist primarily of investor interest expense, investor commission fees, and other financing charges for obtaining debt financing.
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.

These increases were primarily a result of more conversions of convertible debt and accrued interest in the current period and decreases in the strike price due to the Company’s stock price movement.

Prospective Capital Needs
We estimate our operating expenses and working capital requirements for the twelve-month period to be as follows:
Estimated Expenses for the Twelve-Month Period ending September 30, 2021 | ||||
Management compensation | $ | 500,000 | ||
Professional fees | $ | 150,000 | ||
General and administrative | $ | 1,900,000 | ||
Total | $ | 2,550,000 |
As noted earlier, during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, cash used in operations totaled $670,836. The relatively low level of cash used compared to our estimated working capital needs in the future was the result of an accumulation of vendor payables, deferred revenues and additional loans. We need to reduce the current level of payables in the near future to keep a good relationship with our vendors and expand our sales and service team to achieve our operational objectives. At present, our cash requirements for the next 12 months outweigh the funds available. Of the $2,550,000 that we require for the next 12 months, we had $62,337 in cash as of September 30, 2020 and a working capital deficit of $9,626,553. Our principal sources of liquidity are cash generated from product sales. In order to achieve sustained profitability and positive cash flows from operations, we will need to increase revenue and/or reduce operating expenses. Our ability to maintain, or increase, current revenue levels to achieve and sustain profitability will depend, in part, on demand for our products.
In order to improve our liquidity, we also plan to pursue additional equity financing from private investors or possibly a registered public offering. We do not currently have any definitive arrangements in place for the completion of any further private placement financings and there is no assurance that we will be successful in completing any further private placement financings. To help finance our day to day working capital needs, the founder and CEO of the company has made total payments of $113,475 since late 2015. If we are unable to achieve the necessary additional financing, then we plan to reduce the amounts that we spend on our business activities and administrative expenses in order to be within the amount of capital resources 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.

Off-Balance Sheet Transactions
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of consolidated financial statements also requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses, and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ significantly from the estimates made by our management. To the extent that there are differences between our estimates and actual results, our future financial statements presentation, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows will be affected.
We believe that the assumptions and estimates associated with revenue recognition, foreign currency and foreign currency transactions and comprehensive loss have the greatest potential impact on our consolidated financial statements. Therefore, we consider these to be our critical accounting policies and estimates. For further information on all of our significant accounting policies, see the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The phrase “disclosure controls and procedures” refers to controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, such as this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. Disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our interim chief executive officer, or Interim CEO, and chief financial officer, or CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decision regarding required disclosure.
Our management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of September 30, 2020, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that as of September 30, 2016, our disclosure controls and procedures were designed at a reasonable assurance level and were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management’s evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act during the first quarter of 2019 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
