GLOBAL DIGITAL SOLUTIONS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
We were
incorporated in New Jersey as Creative Beauty Supply, Inc.
(“Creative”) in August 1995. In March 2004, Creative
acquired Global Digital Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("Global”). The merger was treated as a recapitalization of
Global, and Creative changed its name to Global Digital Solutions,
Inc.(“the Company”, “We”), Global provided
structured cabling design, installation and maintenance for leading
information technology companies, federal, state and local
government, major businesses, educational institutions, and
telecommunication companies. On May 1, 2012, we made the decision
to wind down our operations in the telecommunications area and to
refocus our efforts in the area of cyber arms technology and
complementary security and technology solutions. From August 2012
through November 2013 we were actively involved in managing
Airtronic USA, Inc., and effective as of June 16, 2014 we acquired
North American Custom Specialty Vehicles (“NACSV”). In
July 2014, we announced the formation of GDSI International (f/k/a
Global Digital Solutions, LLC) to spearhead our efforts
overseas.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Going Concern
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming we
will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the
realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the
normal course of business. We have sustained losses and experienced
negative cash flows from operations since inception, and for the
six months ended June 30, 2016 we incurred a net loss of $230,264
and used net cash of $1,985 to fund operating activities. At June
30, 2016, we had cash of $959, an accumulated deficit of
$31,897,649, a working capital deficit of $1,316,885 and
stockholders’ deficit of $1,314,470. We have funded our
activities to date almost exclusively from equity and debt
financings.
Our
cash position is critically deficient, and payments essential to
our ability to operate are not being made in the ordinary course.
Failure to raise capital in the coming days to fund our operations
and failure to generate positive cash flow to fund such operations
in the future will have a material adverse effect on our financial
condition. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability
to continue as a going concern.
We are
in default under the terms of our loan agreements, as more fully
discussed in Note 5. We need to raise additional funds immediately
and continue to raise funds until we begin to generate sufficient
cash from operations, and we may not be able to obtain the
necessary financing on acceptable terms, or at all.
We will
continue to require substantial funds to continue development of
our core business. Management’s plans in order to meet our
operating cash flow requirements include financing activities such
as private placements of common stock, and issuances of debt and
convertible debt instruments, and the establishment of strategic
relationships which we expect will lead to the generation of
additional revenue or acquisition opportunities.
While
we believe that we will be successful in obtaining the necessary
financing to fund our operations, there are no assurances that such
additional funding will be achieved or that we will succeed in our
future operations. On December 22, 2017, the Company entered into a
financing agreement with an accredited investor for $1.2 million
(Note 10).
Our
ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash
flow is dependent upon our ability to successfully execute the
plans to pursue acquisitions, and raise the funds necessary to
complete such acquisitions. The outcome of these matters cannot be
predicted at this time. The consolidated financial statements do
not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and
classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and
classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be
unable to continue as a going concern.
6
Principles of Consolidation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of the Company and our wholly owned subsidiaries, NACSV, GDSI
Florida, LLC and Global Digital Solutions, LLC, dba GDSI
International. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.
Basis of Presentation
The
accompanying unaudited financial information as of and for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 has been prepared
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
U.S. for interim financial information and with the instructions to
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In
the opinion of management, such financial information includes all
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments,
unless otherwise indicated) considered necessary for a fair
presentation of our financial position at such date and the
operating results and cash flows for such periods. Operating
results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
entire year or for any other subsequent interim
period.
Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to the rules of
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC. These
unaudited financial statements and related notes should be read in
conjunction with our audited financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 2015 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K
filed with the SEC on May 31, 2018.
The
condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2015 has been
derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but
does not include all of the information and footnotes required by
generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. for complete
financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue when all of the following conditions are
satisfied: (1) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement; (2)
the product or service has been provided to the customer; (3) the
amount to be paid by the customer is fixed or determinable; and (4)
the collection of such amount is probable. The Company records
revenue when it is realizable and earned upon shipment of the
finished products or when the service has been
provided.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The
carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, other receivables,
accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values
based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying
amounts of debt were also estimated to approximate fair value. As
defined in ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures," fair
value is 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 (exit price). The Company
utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would
use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about
risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation
technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market
corroborated, or generally unobservable. ASC 820 establishes a fair
value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair
value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted
quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
(level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable
inputs (level 3 measurement). This fair value measurement framework
applies at both initial and subsequent measurement.
The
three levels of the fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820 are as
follows:
● Level 1 –
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities
● Level 2
–Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active
markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or
liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that
are observable, either directly or indirectly
● Level 3 –
Significant unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by
market data.
7
Earnings (Loss) Per Share (“EPS”)
Basic
EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted
average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted EPS
includes the effect from potential issuance of common stock, such
as stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options and
warrants and the assumed conversion of convertible
notes.
The
following table summarizes the securities that were excluded from
the diluted per share calculation because the effect of including
these potential shares was antidilutive even though the exercise
price could be less than the average market price of the common
shares:

Use of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, equity based transactions and disclosure of
contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
The
Company believes the following critical accounting policies affect
its more significant judgments and estimates used in the
preparation of the financial statements. Significant estimates
include the valuation of derivative liability, deferred tax asset
and valuation allowance, and assumptions used in
Black-Scholes-Merton, or BSM, or other valuation methods, such as
expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, and expected dividend
rate.
Inventory
The
Company orders inventory/components upon receipt of a signed
purchase order from a customer. The Company did not have any
inventory at June 30, 2016 or December 31, 2015.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May
2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update
(“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic
606, or ASU 2014-09. ASU 2014-09 establishes the principles
for recognizing revenue and develops a common revenue standard for
U.S. GAAP. The standard outlines a single comprehensive model for
entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts
with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition
guidance, including industry-specific guidance. In applying the new
revenue recognition model to contracts with customers, an entity:
(1) identifies the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identifies the
performance obligations in the contract(s); (3) determines the
transaction price; (4) allocates the transaction price to the
performance obligations in the contract(s); and (5) recognizes
revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
The accounting standards update applies to all contracts with
customers except those that are within the scope of other topics in
the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The accounting
standards update also requires significantly expanded quantitative
and qualitative disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing
and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts
with customers. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and
interim periods within those years beginning after December 15,
2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the
implementation of ASU 2014-09 will have on the Company’s
financial statements.
In
August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an
Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, or
ASU 2014-15. ASU 2014-15 will explicitly require management to
assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern,
and to provide related footnote disclosure in certain
circumstances. The new standard will be effective for all entities
in the first annual period ending after December 15, 2016. Earlier
adoption is permitted. The Company is not early adopting ASU
2014-15. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the
implementation of ASU 2014-15 will have on the Company’s
financial statements, and the actual impact will be dependent upon
the Company’s liquidity and the nature or significance of
future events or conditions that exist upon adopting the updated
standard.
In
April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-05, Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a
Cloud Computing Arrangement, or ASU 2015-05. ASU 2015-05 provides guidance to
entities about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a
software license. Under ASU 2015-05, if a software cloud computing
arrangement contains a software license, entities should account
for the license element of the arrangement in a manner consistent
with the acquisition of other software licenses. If the arrangement
does not contain a software license, entities should account for
the arrangement as a service contract. ASU 2015-05 also removes the
requirement to analogize to ASC 840-10, to determine the asset
acquired in a software licensing arrangement. For public companies,
ASU 2015-05 is effective for annual periods, including interim
periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15,
2015, and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect
that the adoption of ASU 2015-05 will have a material impact on its
financial statements.
In
November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred
Taxes, or ASU 2015-17. ASU 2015-17 provides guidance on
balance sheet classification of deferred taxes. The new guidance
requires that all deferred tax assets and liabilities, along with
any related valuation allowance, be classified as noncurrent on the
balance sheet. For public companies, ASU 2015-17 is effective for
annual periods, including interim periods within those annual
periods, beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is
permitted. The Company does not expect that the adoption of ASU
2015-17 will have a material impact on its financial
statements.
In
February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, or ASU 2016-02. The new guidance requires lessees to
recognize the assets and liabilities arising from leases on the
balance sheet. For public companies, ASU 2016-02 is effective for
annual periods, including interim periods within those annual
periods, beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is
permitted. The Company does not expect that the adoption of ASU
2016-02 will have a material impact on its financial
statements.

NOTE 4 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The
Company did not have any Level 1 or Level 2 assets and liabilities
at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. The Derivative liabilities
are Level 3 fair value measurements.
The
following is a summary of activity of Level 3 liabilities during
the six months ended June 30, 2016:
Derivative
liability balance at December 31, 2015

$270,080
|
Change in fair
value
|
64,779
|
Balance at June 30,
2016
|
$334,859
|
At June
30, 2016, the fair value of the derivative liabilities of
convertible notes was estimated using the following
weighted-average inputs: risk free interest rate – 0.26%;
term - .25 years; volatility – 284.6%; dividend rate –
0%.
Carrying Value of Other Current Assets and Other Current
Liabilities
The
Company’s management considers the carrying values of other
current assets and other current liabilities to approximate fair
values primarily due to their short-term nature.

prior trading days including the notice of conversion date.

deemed funded on April 20, 2015, of which $40,930 was repaid by
conversion as of December 31, 2015. The note was issued with an
original issue discount of 10% of amounts funded. The principal
amount matures 24 months from the date of each funding, had a
one-time 12% interest charge as it was not repaid within 90 days of
the effective date, and is convertible at any time at the option of
JMJ into shares of our common stock at the lesser of $0.075 per
share or 60% of the average of the trade price in the 25 trading
days prior to conversion. JMJ has the option to finance additional
amounts up to the balance of the $250,000 during the term of the
note. (1)

|
Note
was due on January 16, 2016. We have not yet repaid this note and
it is, therefore, in default. We have also not maintained the
required number of shares of our common stock in reserve for this
note as more fully discussed below.
|
10
Under
the terms of the two convertible promissory notes outstanding at
June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we are required to maintain a
minimum number of shares of our common stock in reserve for
conversions. In the case of the note with JMJ, the reserve amount
is set at 26,650,000 shares of our common stock. However, under the
terms of the note with LG Capital we are required to maintain a
minimum share reserve equal to four times the potential number of
shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion, or 66,204,427
shares at December 31, 2015. As a result of declines in the fair
value of our common stock, we did not have sufficient authorized
shares to maintain this required four times share reserve at
December 31, 2015. Accordingly, the note holder had the right to
accelerate the payment due (approximately $43,033 of principal and
interest was due at December 31, 2015). In addition, they have the
right to require that additional shares and/or monies be paid in
connection with this technical default. At June 30, 2016, we have
not accrued any penalties or penalty interest associated with this
note, nor have we been notified by the lender of a technical
default. Because the conversion prices vary with changes in the
value of our common stock, the number of shares into which the
outstanding notes payable and accrued interest are convertible will
continue to vary, which may result in additional technical defaults
if the price of our common stock decreases. As soon as we are able,
we intend to request shareholder approval to increase the number of
authorized shares of our common stock in order to satisfy our
obligations to maintain sufficient authorized share reserves under
the terms of our convertible notes. In addition, the two
outstanding convertible notes also contain certain representations,
warranties, covenants and other events of default, including in the
case of one of the notes maintaining our common stock listing on
the OTCQB exchange.
Revenue Based Factoring Agreements
During
the year ended December 31, 2015, we entered into two revenue based
factoring agreements with balances as of June 30, 2016 and December
31, 2015 as follows:
Factoring agreement
with Power Up Lending Group, Ltd. (“Power Up”) dated
October 1, 2015, purchase price was $59,000. Company agreed to
transfer all NACSV future receipts, accounts, contract rights, etc.
arising from accounts receivable or other third party payors at the

is credited against the specified percentage due. As of December
31, 2015, we paid $21,458 of the daily specified repayments and we
had not made $9,588 of payments that were due. At June 30, 2016 and
December 31, 2015, $12,748 and $12,748, respectively, of deferred
interest expense related to this agreement is included in current

daily specified repayments and we had not made $10,952 of payments
that were due. At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, $14,326 and

We used
the purchase price proceeds to satisfy in full the obligations
under two convertible notes payable with embedded derivative
liabilities.
|
(2)
|
The
agreement contains certain protections against default, including
prohibiting NACSV from changing its arrangement with its bank in
any way that is adverse to Power Up and NACSV interrupting the
operation of its business, among others. Events of default include:
(i) the violation of any term or covenant under the agreement, (ii)
the failure of NACSV to pay its debts when due and (iii) the
transfer or sale of all or substantially all of NACSV’s
asset, amount others.

|
We are
currently in default under the terms of the two factoring
agreements as we have not made the specified daily repayment
amounts aggregating $20,540 and $107,266 as of December 31, 2015
and April 9, 2016, respectively, among other items. At June 30,
2016 and December 31, 2015, we have not accrued any penalties or
interest that might be due as a result of the
defaults.

NOTE 6 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
We may
be involved in legal
proceedings in the ordinary course of our business, and our
management cannot predict the ultimate outcome of these
legal proceedings
with certainty. The Company is plaintiff or defendant in the
following actions:
Dekle, et. al. v. Global Digital Solutions, Inc. et.
al.
Brian
A. Dekle and John Ramsay filed suit against the Company and its
wholly owned subsidiary, North American Custom Specialty Vehicles,
Inc. (“NACSV”), in the Circuit Court of Baldwin
Alabama, on January 14, 2015, case no. 05-CV-2015-9000050.00,
relating to our acquisition of NACSV (the ''Dekle Action"). Prior
to instituting the Dekle Action, in June 2014, the Company had
entered into an equity purchase agreement with Dekle and Ramsay to
purchase their membership interest in North American Custom
Specialty Vehicles, LLC. The Dekle Action originally sought payment
for $300,000 in post-closing consideration Dekle and Ramsay allege
they are owed pursuant to the equity purchase
agreement.
On February 9, 2015, the Company
and NACSV removed the Dekle Action to federal court in the United
States District Court in and for the Southern District of Alabama,
case no. 1:15-CV-00069. The Company and NACSV subsequently moved to
dismiss the complaint for (1) failing to state a cause of action,
and (2) lack of personal jurisdiction. Alternatively, the Company
and NACSV sought a transfer of the case to the United States
District Court in and for Middle District of Florida.
In
response to the Company’s and NACSV's motion to dismiss,
Dekle and Ramsay filed an amended complaint on March 2, 2015
seeking specific performance and alleging breach of contract,
violations of Security and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)
Rule 10b-5, and violations of the Alabama Securities Act. The
amended complaint also names the Company’s Chairman,
President, and CEO, Richard J. Sullivan (“Sullivan”),
as a defendant. On March 17, 2015, the Company, NACSV and Sullivan
filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint seeking dismissal
for failure to state valid causes of action, for lack of personal
jurisdiction, or alternatively to transfer the case to the United
States District Court in and for the Middle District of Florida.
Dekle and Ramsay responded on March 31, 2015, and the Company filed
its response thereto on April 7, 2015.
On June
2, 2015, Dekle passed away. On June 5, 2015, the Court
denied the Company’s motion to transfer the case to
Florida. On June 10, 2015, the Company filed a motion
to reconsider the Court’s denial of its motion to transfer
the case to Florida. On September 30, 2105, the Court granted
the Company’s Renewed Motion to Transfer Venue. The case was
transferred to the Middle District of Florida, where it is
currently pending.
On June
15, 2015, Ramsay filed a second amended complaint. On June
25, 2015, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the second amended
complaint. The Company’s Motion to Dismiss was
denied.
On July
27, 2017, the Company and Dekle and Ramsay came to a Settlement
Agreement. The Company and the plantiff came to the following
agreements:
i.
Judgment is due to
be entered against the Company in the amount of $300,000 if the sum
of $20,000 as noted in iv is not paid.
ii.
The Company grants
the plaintiffs vehicles and trailers in connection to this
proceeding.
iii.
The Company will
assist the plaintiffs in obtaining possession of the said
vehicles.
iv.
The Company will
pay the plaintiffs the sum of $20,000.
The
$20,000 settlement was paid in August 2017
PowerUp Lending Group, LTD., v. North American Custom Specialty
Vehicle, Inc. et.al
On
September 13, 2017 Power Up received a default judgment against the
Company in the amount of $109,302.00. The Company negotiated
a settlement agreement on December 21, 2017 with Power Up to pay
$90,000 in three installments of $30,000. As of May 15, 2018 the
company has paid the entire amount.

Loppert. On December 21, 2016, the SEC filed a Notice of Settlement
as entered into by it and Defendants GDSI and Sullivan. On December
23, 2016, the Court entered an Order staying the case and directing
the Clerk of the Court to close the case for statistical purposes
per the December 21, 2016 Notice of Settlement. On March 7, 2017,
the SEC moved for a Judgment of Permanent Injunction and Other
Relief and Notice of Filing Consent of Defendant GDSI to Entry of
Judgment by the SEC. On March 13, 2017, the Judge signed the
Judgment as to Defendant GDSI and it was entered on the
Court’s docket. On April 6, 2017, the SEC moved for a final
Judgment of Permanent Injunction and Other Relief and Notice of
Filing Consent of Defendant Sullivan. On April 10, 2017, the Judge
signed the final Judgment as to Defendant Sullivan and it was
entered on the Court’s docket. On December 21, 2017, the SEC
moved for a final Judgment and Notice of Filing Consent of
Defendant GDSI to Entry of Final Judgment. On January 2, 2018, the
Judge signed the Final Judgment as to Defendant GDSI and it was
entered on the Court’s docket. The amount of the judgement is
One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) plus
interest.

NOTE 10 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
We have completed an evaluation of all subsequent events after the
balance sheet date of June 30, 2016, through the date this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was submitted to the SEC, to ensure
that this filing includes appropriate disclosure of events both
recognized in the financial statements as of June 30, 2016, and
events which occurred subsequently but were not recognized in the
financial statements. We have concluded that no subsequent events
have occurred that require recognition or disclosure, except as
disclosed within these financial statements and except as described
below:
On August 15, 2016, William J. Delgado, our current Chief Executive
Officer, agreed to convert $231,565 of indebtedness owed to him by
the Company into 1,000,000 shares of convertible preferred stock
(the “Preferred Stock”). The Preferred Stock has voting
rights as to one (1) preferred share to four hundred (400) shares
of our common stock. The Preferred Stock is also convertible to
common stock at any time into 37% of the outstanding common stock
of the Company at the time of the conversion. The conversion to
common can only take place when there are an adequate number of
shares that are available and is subject to normal stock
adjustments (i.e. stock splits etc.) that are executed by the
company in its normal course of business.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect
management's current views with respect to future events and
financial performance. Forward-looking statements are
projections in respect of future events or our future financial
performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking
statements by terminology such as “may,”
“should,” “expects,” “plans,”
“anticipates,” “believes,”
“estimates,” “predicts,”
“potential” or “continue” or the negative
of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements include statements
regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of us and
members of our management team, as well as the assumptions on which
such statements are based. Prospective investors are cautioned that
any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future
performance and involve risk and uncertainties, and that actual
results may differ materially from those contemplated by such
forward-looking statements. These statements are only
predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and
other factors, including the risks set forth in the section
entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, as filed with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on
May 31, 2018, any of which may cause our company’s or our
industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or
achievements to be materially different from any future results,
levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or
implied in our forward-looking statements. These risks and factors
include, by way of example and without limitation:
●
our ability to
successfully commercialize and our products and services on a large
enough scale to generate profitable operations;
●
our ability to
maintain and develop relationships with customers and
suppliers;
●
our ability to
successfully integrate acquired businesses or new
brands;
●
the impact of
competitive products and pricing;
●
supply constraints
or difficulties;
●
the retention and
availability of key personnel;
●
general economic
and business conditions;
●
substantial doubt
about our ability to continue as a going concern;
●
our need to raise
additional funds in the future;
●
our ability to
successfully recruit and retain qualified personnel in order to
continue our operations;
●
our ability to
successfully implement our business plan;
●
our ability to
successfully acquire, develop or commercialize new products and
equipment;
●
intellectual
property claims brought by third parties; and
●
the impact of any
industry regulation.
Although we believe
that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements
are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of
activity, or performance. Except as required by applicable law,
including the securities laws of the United States, we do not
intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform
these statements to actual results.
Readers
are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures
made by us in this report and in our other reports filed with the
SEC. We undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking
statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of
unanticipated events or changes in the future operating results
over time except as required by law. We believe that our
assumptions are based upon reasonable data derived from and known
about our business and operations. No assurances are made that
actual results of operations or the results of our future
activities will not differ materially from our
assumptions.
As used
in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and unless otherwise
indicated, the terms “GDSI,” “Company,”
“we,” “us,” and “our” refer to
Global Digital Solutions, Inc. and our wholly-owned subsidiaries
GDSI Florida, LLC and North American Custom Specialty Vehicles,
Inc. Unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed
in United States dollars.

Corporate History and Overview
We were
incorporated in New Jersey as Creative Beauty Supply, Inc.
(“Creative”) in August 1995. In March 2004, Creative
acquired Global Digital Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation.
The merger was treated as a recapitalization of Global Digital
Solutions, Inc., and Creative changed its name to Global Digital
Solutions, Inc. (“GDSI”). We are focused in the area of
cyber arms technology and complementary security and technology
solutions. On October 22, 2012, we entered into an Agreement of
Merger and Plan of Reorganization to acquire 70% of Airtronic USA,
Inc. (“Airtronic”), a then debtor in possession under
chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code once Airtronic successfully
reorganized and emerged from bankruptcy (the “Merger”).
During the period from October 2012 through November 2013, we were
actively involved in the day to day management of Airtronic pending
the completion of the Merger. The Merger did not occur and we
ceased involvement with the Airtronic. In December 2012 we
incorporated GDSI Florida LLC (“GDSI FL”), a Florida
limited liability company. Except for the payment of administrative
expenses on behalf of the Company, GDSI FL has no business
operations. In January 2013 we incorporated Global Digital
Solutions, LLC, a Florida limited liability company. In November
2013, we incorporated GDSI Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware
corporation. On June 16, 2014, we acquired North American Custom
Specialty Vehicles, LLC into GDSI Acquisition Corporation, and
changed the latter’s name to North American Custom Specialty
Vehicles, Inc. (“NACSV”). In July 2014, we announced
the formation of GDSI International (f/k/a Global Digital
Solutions, LLC) to spearhead our efforts overseas.

Revenues and Gross Margins

by $364,837 or 96% due to the scaling down of business
operations.
Gross
profit decreased by $225,646, or greater than100%, due to the
scaling down of business operations.
Operating Loss
Loss
from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was
$120,196 and $950,478, respectively. The decrease in operating loss
is primarily due to a decrease in all activities caused by a lack

Liquidity, Financial Condition and Capital Resources

Going Concern
The
unaudited consolidated financial statements contained in this
quarterly report on Form 10-Q have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has
accumulated losses from inception through the period ended June 30,
2016 of approximately $32 million, as well as negative cash flows
from operating activities. As of the balance sheet date, the
Company did not have sufficient cash resources through 2016.
Furthermore, as of the date of this filing, the Company does not
have sufficient cash resources to meet its plans through December
31, 2018.
27
The
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments
that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a
going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern
is dependent on its ability to obtain additional financing as may
be required and ultimately to attain profitability. If the Company
raises additional funds through the issuance of equity, the
percentage ownership of current shareholders could be reduced, and
such securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior
to the rights, preferences and privileges of the Company’s
common stock. Additional financing may not be available upon
acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or
are not available on acceptable terms, the Company may not be able
to take advantage of prospective business endeavors or
opportunities, which could significantly and materially restrict
its future plans for developing its business and achieving
commercial revenues. If the Company is unable to obtain the
necessary capital, the Company may have to cease
operations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our
significant accounting policies are more fully described in the
notes to our financial statements included in this Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. We believe that the
accounting policies below are critical for one to fully understand
and evaluate our financial condition and results of
operations.

believe that the accounting policies below are critical for one to
fully understand and evaluate our financial condition and results
of operations.
Recent Accounting Standards
During
the six months ended June 30, 2016, there were several new
accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (“FASB”). Each of these pronouncements,
as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company.
Management does not believe the adoption of any of these accounting
pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the
Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Recently Announced Accounting Pronouncements
In May
2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update
(“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic
606, or ASU 2014-09. ASU 2014-09 establishes the principles
for recognizing revenue and develops a common revenue standard for
U.S. GAAP. The standard outlines a single comprehensive model for
entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts
with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition
guidance, including industry-specific guidance. In applying the new
revenue recognition model to contracts with customers, an entity:
(1) identifies the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identifies the
performance obligations in the contract(s); (3) determines the
transaction price; (4) allocates the transaction price to the
performance obligations in the contract(s); and (5) recognizes
revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
The accounting standards update applies to all contracts with
customers except those that are within the scope of other topics in
the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The accounting
standards update also requires significantly expanded quantitative
and qualitative disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing
and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts
with customers. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and
interim periods within those years beginning after December 15,
2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the
implementation of ASU 2014-09 will have on the Company’s
financial statements.
29
In
August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an
Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, or
ASU 2014-15. ASU 2014-15 will explicitly require management to
assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern,
and to provide related footnote disclosure in certain
circumstances. The new standard will be effective for all entities
in the first annual period ending after December 15, 2016. Earlier
adoption is permitted. The Company is not early adopting ASU
2014-15. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the
implementation of ASU 2014-15 will have on the Company’s
financial statements, and the actual impact will be dependent upon
the Company’s liquidity and the nature or significance of
future events or conditions that exist upon adopting the updated
standard.
In
April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance
Costs, or ASU 2015-03. Under ASU 2015-03, the costs of
issuing debt will no longer be recorded as an intangible asset,
except when incurred before receipt of the funding from the
associated debt liability. Rather, debt issuance costs related to a
recognized debt liability will be presented on the balance sheet as
a direct deduction from the debt liability, similar to the
presentation of debt discounts. The costs will continue to be
amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method.
ASU 2015-03 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods
beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted.
ASU 2015-03 requires retrospective application to all prior periods
presented in the financial statements. The Company does not expect
that the adoption of ASU 2015-03 will have a material impact on its
financial statements.
In
April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-05, Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a
Cloud Computing Arrangement, or ASU 2015-05. ASU 2015-05 provides guidance to
entities about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a
software license. Under ASU 2015-05, if a software cloud computing
arrangement contains a software license, entities should account
for the license element of the arrangement in a manner consistent
with the acquisition of other software licenses. If the arrangement
does not contain a software license, entities should account for
the arrangement as a service contract. ASU 2015-05 also removes the
requirement to analogize to ASC 840-10, to determine the asset
acquired in a software licensing arrangement. For public companies,
ASU 2015-05 is effective for annual periods, including interim
periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15,
2015, and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect
that the adoption of ASU 2015-05 will have a material impact on its
financial statements.
In
November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred
Taxes, or ASU 2015-17. ASU 2015-17 provides guidance on
balance sheet classification of deferred taxes. The new guidance
requires that all deferred tax assets and liabilities, along with
any related valuation allowance, be classified as noncurrent on the
balance sheet. For public companies, ASU 2015-17 is effective for
annual periods, including interim periods within those annual
periods, beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is
permitted. The Company does not expect that the adoption of ASU
2015-17 will have a material impact on its financial
statements.
In
February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, or ASU 2016-02. The new guidance requires lessees to
recognize the assets and liabilities arising from leases on the
balance sheet. For public companies, ASU 2016-02 is effective for
annual periods, including interim periods within those annual
periods, beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is
permitted. The Company does not expect that the adoption of ASU
2016-02 will have a material impact on its financial
statements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET
RISK
Not
Applicable. As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to
provide the information required by this Item.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We
carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the
participation of our management, including our Chief Executive
Officer (who is our Principal Executive Officer) and our Chief
Financial Officer and Treasurer (who is our Principal Financial
Officer and Principal Accounting Officer), of the effectiveness of
the design of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined by
Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e)) as of June 30, 2016
pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon that evaluation,
our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not
effective as of June 30, 2016 in ensuring that information required
to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the
Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported
within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and
forms. This conclusion is based on findings that constituted
material weaknesses. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a
combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over
financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility
that a material misstatement of the Company’s interim
financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely
basis.
30
In
performing the above-referenced assessment, management identified
the following deficiencies in the design or operation of our
internal controls and procedures, which management considers to be
material weaknesses:
(i) Lack of Formal Policies and Procedures.
We utilize a third party independent contractor for the preparation
of our financial statements. Although the financial statements and
footnotes are reviewed by our management, we do not have a formal
policy to review significant accounting transactions and the
accounting treatment of such transactions. The third party
independent contractor is not involved in the day to day operations
of the Company and may not be provided information from management
on a timely basis to allow for adequate reporting/consideration of
certain transactions.
(ii) Audit
Committee and Financial Expert. We do not have a formal
audit committee with a financial expert, and thus we lack the board
oversight role within the financial reporting process.
(iii) Insufficient
Resources. We have insufficient quantity of dedicated
resources and experienced personnel involved in reviewing and
designing internal controls. As a result, a material misstatement
of the interim and annual financial statements could occur and not
be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
(iv) Entity
Level Risk Assessment. We did not perform an entity level
risk assessment to evaluate the implication of relevant risks on
financial reporting, including the impact of potential fraud
related risks and the risks related to non-routine transactions, if
any, on internal control over financial reporting. Lack of an
entity-level risk assessment constituted an internal control design
deficiency which resulted in more than a remote likelihood that a
material error would not have been prevented or detected, and
constituted a material weakness.
Our
management feels the weaknesses identified above have not had any
material effect on our financial results. However, we are currently
reviewing our disclosure controls and procedures related to these
material weaknesses, and expect to implement changes in the near
term, as resources permit, in order to address these material
weaknesses. Our management will continue to monitor and evaluate
the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures and our
internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis, and
is committed to taking further action and implementing additional
enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds
permit.
Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial
reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of
any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to
the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or
procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter
how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those
systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable
assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and
presentation.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting
during the quarter ended June 30, 2016 that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our
internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We may
be involved in legal
proceedings in the ordinary course of our business, and our
management cannot predict the ultimate outcome of these
legal proceedings
with certainty. The Company is plaintiff or defendant in the
following actions:
Dekle, et. al. v. Global Digital Solutions, Inc. et.
al.
Brian
A. Dekle and John Ramsay filed suit against the Company and its
wholly owned subsidiary, North American Custom Specialty Vehicles,
Inc. (“NACSV”), in the Circuit Court of Baldwin
Alabama, on January 14, 2015, case no. 05-CV-2015-9000050.00,
relating to our acquisition of NACSV (the ''Dekle Action"). Prior
to instituting the Dekle Action, in June 2014, the Company had
entered into an equity purchase agreement with Dekle and Ramsay to
purchase their membership interest in North American Custom
Specialty Vehicles, LLC. The Dekle Action originally sought payment
for $300,000 in post-closing consideration Dekle and Ramsay allege
they are owed pursuant to the equity purchase
agreement.
On February 9, 2015, the Company
and NACSV removed the Dekle Action to federal court in the United
States District Court in and for the Southern District of Alabama,
case no. 1:15-CV-00069. The Company and NACSV subsequently moved to
dismiss the complaint for (1) failing to state a cause of action,
and (2) lack of personal jurisdiction. Alternatively, the Company
and NACSV sought a transfer of the case to the United States
District Court in and for Middle District of Florida.
In
response to the Company’s and NACSV's motion to dismiss,
Dekle and Ramsay filed an amended complaint on March 2, 2015
seeking specific performance and alleging breach of contract,
violations of Security and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)
Rule 10b-5, and violations of the Alabama Securities Act. The
amended complaint also names the Company’s Chairman,
President, and CEO, Richard J. Sullivan (“Sullivan”),
as a defendant. On March 17, 2015, the Company, NACSV and Sullivan
filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint seeking dismissal
for failure to state valid causes of action, for lack of personal
jurisdiction, or alternatively to transfer the case to the United
States District Court in and for the Middle District of Florida.
Dekle and Ramsay responded on March 31, 2015, and the Company filed
its response thereto on April 7, 2015.
On June
2, 2015, Dekle passed away. On June 5, 2015, the Court
denied the Company’s motion to transfer the case to
Florida. On June 10, 2015, the Company filed a motion
to reconsider the Court’s denial of its motion to transfer
the case to Florida. On September 30, 2105, the Court granted
the Company’s Renewed Motion to Transfer Venue. The case was
transferred to the Middle District of Florida, where it is
currently pending.
On June
15, 2015, Ramsay filed a second amended complaint. On June
25, 2015, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the second amended
