NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SIX MONTHS ENDED June 30, 2019

(Unaudited)

 

 

GLOBAL DIGITAL SOLUTIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

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. The Company has been dormant since December 31, 2015. The Company had limited operations from the NACSV subsidiary from December 31, 2015 until May 13, 2016. During the interim, the Company was pursuing acquisition opportunities and responding to the litigation with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Subsequent to May 13, 2016, the Company has been seeking acquisitions and additional financing.

 

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, 2019, incurred a net loss of $776,792 and used net cash of $1,018,720 to fund operating activities. At June 30, 2019 we had a working deficit of $4,443,115, and stockholders’ deficit of $4,439,733 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 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. 

 

Our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as a result of our history of net losses. 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.

 

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited financial information as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 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 six months ended June 30, 2019 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, 2018 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on June 18, 2019.

 

The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2018 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.

 

 

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.

 

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 derivative liability valuation, 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.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for based upon an asset and liability approach. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from the difference between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its reported amount in the financial statements. Deferred tax amounts are determined using the tax rates expected to be in effect when the taxes will actually be paid or refunds received, as provided under currently enacted tax law. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense or benefit is the tax payable or refundable, respectively, for the period plus or minus the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities during the period.

 

Accounting guidance requires the recognition of a financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. The Company believes its income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained upon examination and accordingly, no reserves, or related accruals for interest and penalties have been recorded at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The Company recognizes interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits as well as interest received from favorable tax settlements within income tax expense.

 

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

We consider all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. We maintain our cash in high-quality financial institutions. The balances, at times, may exceed federally insured limits.

 

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying value of cash, 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. 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.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

We account for conversion options embedded in convertible notes payable in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC’) 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. Subtopic ASC 815-15, Embedded Derivatives generally requires companies to bifurcate conversion options embedded in the convertible notes from their host instruments and to account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments. Derivative liabilities are recognized in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value as Derivative Liabilities and based on the criteria specified in FASB ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s own Equity. The estimated fair value of the derivative liabilities is calculated using various assumptions and such estimates are revalued at each balance sheet date, with changes recorded to other income or expense as Change in fair value of derivative liability in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or equity, is evaluated at the instrument origination date and reviewed at the end of each event date (i.e. conversions, payments, etc.) and the measurement period end date for financial reporting, as applicable.

 

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:

 

	Six Months Ended
	June 30,	June 30,
	2019	2018
Convertible notes and accrued interest	33,715,247	33,715,247
Preferred Stock	214,560,000	206,861,415
Stock options	13,650,002	13,650,002
Warrants	1,500,000	1,500,000
Potentially dilutive securities	263,425,249	255,726,664

 

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

In accordance with ASC 718, "Compensation – Stock Compensation” the Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for share-based compensation measured at the grant date fair value of the award.

 

The Company’s accounting policy for equity instruments issued to advisors, consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of FASB ASC 505-50. The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the advisor, consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the advisor, consultant or vendor’s performance is complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to advisors and consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the advisor or consulting agreement. Stock-based compensation related to non-employees is accounted for based on the fair value of the related stock or options or the fair value of the services, whichever is more readily determinable.

 

Convertible Instruments

 

The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in its convertible instruments in accordance with accounting standards for “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.”

 

Accounting standards generally provides three criteria that, if met, require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments. These three criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur, and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. accounting standards also provide an exception to this rule when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional as defined under professional standards as “The Meaning of Conventional Convertible Debt Instrument.”

 

 

The Company accounts for convertible instruments (when it has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments) in accordance with professional standards when “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features,” as those professional standards pertain to “Certain Convertible Instruments.” Accordingly, the Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Original issue discounts (“OID”) under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their earliest date of redemption. The Company also records when necessary deemed dividends for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in preferred shares based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note.

 

ASC 815-40 provides that, among other things, generally, if an event is not within the entity’s control could or require net cash settlement, then the contract shall be classified as an asset or a liability.

 

Convertible Securities

 

Based upon ASC 815-15, we have adopted a sequencing approach regarding the application of ASC 815-40 to convertible securities. We will evaluate our contracts based upon the earliest issuance date. In the event partial reclassification of contracts subject to ASC 815-40-25 is necessary, due to our inability to demonstrate we have sufficient shares authorized and unissued, shares will be allocated on the basis of issuance date, with the earliest issuance date receiving first allocation of shares. If a reclassification of an instrument were required, it would result in the instrument issued latest being reclassified first.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases: Topic 842. This standard requires all leases that have a term of over 12 months to be recognized on the balance sheet with the liability for lease payments and the corresponding right-of-use asset initially measured at the present value of amounts expected to be paid over the term. Recognition of the costs of these leases on the income statement will be dependent upon their classification as either an operating or a financing lease. Costs of an operating lease will continue to be recognized as a single operating expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Costs for a financing lease will be disaggregated and recognized as both an operating expense (for the amortization of the right-of-use asset) and interest expense (for interest on the lease liability). This standard was adopted for our interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2019 and applied on a modified retrospective basis to leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The Company has evaluated the timing of adoption and the potential impact of this standard on our financial position, and we do not expect it to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 5 – NOTE PAYABLE

 

Notes Payable

 

During August 2017, Dragon Acquisitions, a related entity owned by William Delgado, a related party, and an individual lender entered into a Promissory Note agreement for $20,000 as well as $2,000 in interest to accrue through maturity on August 31, 2018 for a total of $22,000 due on August 31, 2018. Dragon Acquisition assumed payment of a payable of the Company and the Company took on the note. The Company defaulted on the note at maturity in August 2018. The $20,000 note remained outstanding at June 30, 2019 and through the date of this report.

 

On December 23, 2017 (the “effective date”), the Company entered into a $485,000, 7% interest rate, demand promissory note with Vox Business Trust, LLC (VOX), a related party. The note was in settlement of the amounts accrued under a consulting agreement (Note 6), consisting of $200,000 owed for retainer payments through December 2017, as well as $285,000 owed to VOX when the Resolution Progress Funding was met on December 22, 2017. As part of the agreement, VOX may not demand payment prior to the date of the Resolution Funding Date. The Company also agreed to grant 5,000,000 shares within 90 days of the Resolution Progress Funding Date and 10,000,000 shares within 90 days of the Resolution Funding Date. The 5,000,000 shares were issued on March 13, 2018. The Company shall make mandatory prepayment in the following amounts and at the following times –

 

● $1,000 on the effective date.

 

● $50,000 on the date on which the judge presiding over the lawsuit issues a ruling or decision in which the lawsuit survives a motion to dismiss.

 

● $50,000 on the date on which discovery closes with respect to the lawsuit.

 

● $100,000 on the date on which the judge presiding over the lawsuit issues a ruling or decision in which the lawsuit survives a motion for summary judgement on the claims.

 

Under the terms of the VOX note consulting agreement (Note 6), any unpaid consulting fees subsequent to December 2017 causes a default on the note with unpaid consulting fees to be added to the principal of the note. During the year ended December 31, 2018, consulting fees totaling $100,000 were added to the note principal and are included in the note balance at March 31, 2018. The notes had a balance of $584,000 and $484,000 as of June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Through the date of this report, monthly consulting fees have not been repaid and continue to be added to the principal balance of the note. The note remains in default however VOX has voluntarily refrained from making demand prior to the Resolution Funding Date. VOX was granted a first priority security interest in the Litigation Proceeds and is pari passu to Parabellum and Vox. To that end, they share in the litigation in a priority position to proceed to repay the note.

 

During April 2018, the Company entered into an Investment Return Purchase Agreement with an accredited investor (the “Purchaser”) for proceeds of $50,000 (the “Investment Agreement”). The $50,000 proceeds were paid directly to Bill Delgado to reimburse expenses incurred on behalf of the Company. Under the terms of the Investment Agreement, the Company agreed to pay the Purchaser the $50,000 proceeds plus a 50% return, or $25,000 (the “Investment Return”) within seven (7) months from the date of the Investment Agreement. In addition, the Company agreed to issue to the Purchaser 1,000,000 warrants to purchase common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.01 per share, exercisable for a period of five (5) years. The warrants were valued using the Black Scholes Merton model, resulting in a fair value of $9,000 which were recorded as a discount on the note. The key valuation assumptions used consist, in part, of the price of the Company’s common stock of $0.009 at issuance date; a risk-free interest rate of 2.60% and estimated volatility of the Company’s common stock of 235%. During November 2018, the Company defaulted on the Investment Agreement. As of June 30, 2019, the $50,000 principal and $25,000 Investment Return remained outstanding. During May 2019, the Company and the Purchaser amended the Investment Agreement, as detailed in Note 10.

 

 During June 2018, the Company entered in to a one-year $300,000 non-convertible note with an accredited investor with $150,000 original issue discount (“OID”) for net proceeds of $150,000. As part of the note agreement, the Company also agreed to issue the investor 5,000,000 warrants at an exercise price of $0.01, exercisable for a period of three (3) years. The warrants were valued using the Black Scholes Merton model, resulting in a fair value of $35,000 of which $28,378 was recorded as a discount on the note. The key valuation assumptions used consist, in part, of the price of the Company’s common stock of $0.008 at issuance date; a risk-free interest rate of 2.62% and estimated volatility of the Company’s common stock of 218%. At June 30, 2019, the $300,000 note remained outstanding. The Company defaulted on the note at maturity in June 2019 and the note remained outstanding through the date of this report. The note contains a default interest rate of 10% plus a 5% penalty of the outstanding balance of the note. The note holder has voluntarily refrained from making demand for repayment under the default provisions of the note, which would require the Company to pay the holder 130% of the outstanding principal and interest accrued at the default rate.

 

 

The June 2018 note bears a personal guarantee by William Delgado, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. As further security for the note, Mr. Delgado has also pledged the 1,000,000 Convertible Preferred Shares of the Company that he owns, as well as 5,000,000 common shares of SHMP, another public company in which Mr. Delgado is a director and Chief Financial Officer.

Legal Proceedings

Dekle, et. al. v. Global Digital Solutions, Inc. et. al.

(“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.

The case was filed in the Eighteenth Judicial Circuit in and for Brevard County Florida, case no. 05-2015-CA-012250. On February 18, 2015 (i) defendants Communications Laboratories, Inc., ComLabs Global, LLC and Roland Lussier and (ii) defendant Wallace Bailey filed their respective motions to dismiss seeking, among other things, dismissal for failure to state valid causes of action, lumping and failure to post a non-resident bond.

Share Purchase and Sale Agreement for Acquisition of Grupo Rontan Electro Metalurgica, S.A.

 

Effective October 13, 2015, the Company (as “Purchaser”) entered into the SPSA dated October 8, 2015 with Joao Alberto Bolzan and Jose Carlos Bolzan, both Brazilian residents (collectively, the “Sellers”) and Grupo Rontan Electro Metalurgica, S.A., a limited liability company duly organized and existing under the laws of Federative Republic of Brazil (“Rontan”) (collectively, the “Parties”), pursuant to which the Sellers agreed to sell 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Rontan to the Purchaser on the closing date.

 

The purchase price shall consist of a cash amount, a stock amount and an earn-out amount as follows: (i) Brazilian Real (“R”) $100 million (approximately US$26 million) to be paid by the Purchaser in equal monthly installments over a period of forty eight (48) months following the closing date; (ii) an aggregate of R$100 million (approximately US$26 million) in shares of the Purchaser’s common stock, valued at US$1.00 per share; and (iii) an earn-out payable within ten business days following receipt by the Purchaser of Rontan’s audited financial statements for the 12-months ended December 31, 2017, 2018 and 2019. The earn-out shall be equal to the product of (i) Rontan’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) for the last 12 months, and (ii) twenty percent and is contingent upon Rontan’s EBITDA results for any earn-out period being at least 125% of Rontan’s EBITDA for the 12-months ended December 31, 2015. It is the intention of the parties that the stock amount will be used by Rontan to repay institutional debt outstanding as of the closing date.

 

Under the terms of a Finders Fees Agreement dated April 14, 2014, we have agreed to pay RLT Consulting Inc., a related party, a fee of 2% (two percent) of the Transaction Value, as defined in the agreement, of Rontan upon closing. The fee is payable one-half in cash and one-half in shares of our common stock.

 

Specific conditions to closing consist of:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Institutional Investor has committed to invest sufficient capital to facilitate the transaction, subject to receipt of the Opinion, as well as the ability to acquire 100% of the outstanding stock of Rontan at a price of $200 million BR, and the Company can acquire 100% of all real estate held by Rontan.

 

Subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent provided for in the SPSA, the closing date of the transaction shall take place within 10 business days from the date of issuance of the Opinion.

 

Rontan is engaged in the manufacture and distribution of specialty vehicles and acoustic/visual signaling equipment for the industrial and automotive markets.

 

Subsequent to December 31, 2015, on April 1, 2016, we believed that we had satisfied or otherwise waived the conditions to closing (as disclosed under the SPSA, the closing was subject to specific conditions to closing, which were waivable by us,) and advised the Sellers of our intention to close the SPSA and demanded delivery of the Rontan Securities. The Sellers, however, notified us that they intend to terminate the SPSA. We believe that the Sellers had no right to terminate the SPSA and that notice of termination by the Sellers was not permitted under the terms of the SPSA.

 

On January 31, 2018, we announced that we initiated a lawsuit for damages against Grupo Rontan Metalurgica, S. A, (“Rontan”) and that company’s controlling shareholders, Joao Alberto Bolzan and Jose Carlos Bolzan. The action has been filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. The complaint alleges that Rontan is wholly-owned by Joao Bolzan and Jose Bolzan. In the complaint, we further allege that Rontan and its shareholders improperly terminated a Share Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “SPA”) by which we were to acquire whole ownership of Rontan.

 

On February 5, 2018, United States District Court Southern District of Florida filed a Pretrial Scheduling Order and Order Referring Case to Mediation dated February 5, 2018 for the Company’s lawsuit against Grupo Rontan Electro Metalurgica, S.A., et al. The Case No. is 18-80106-Civ-Middlebrooks/Brannon. The court has issued a schedule outlining various documents and responses that are to be delivered by the parties as part of the discovery plan.

 

On April 25, 2018, the Note of Filing Proposed Summons was completed by the Company. On April 26, 2018, a summons was issued to Grupo Rontan Electro Metalurgica, S.A. Also, on May 15, 2018, the Company filed a motion for Issuance of Letters Rogatory.

 

On or about January 31, 2019, Defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss for Failure to State a Claim for failure to fulfill conditions precedent in the consummation of the contract in question. Defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss challenging jurisdiction, venue, and forum nonconvenes. On or about May 21, 2019, the Court denied their motions to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue and forum nonconvenes. The court granted their Motion to Dismiss for Failure to State a Claim for failure to fulfill conditions precedent in the consummation of the contract in question, but granted leave to amend. On or about June 7, 2019, counsel filed an amended complaint. On or about June 21, 2019, defendants answered the amended complaint. The litigation moved from the pleading stage to discovery. Trial is scheduled for December 9, 2019.

Stock Incentive Plans

 

2014 Global Digital Solutions Equity Incentive Plan

 

On May 9, 2014 our shareholders approved the 2014 Global Digital Solutions Equity Incentive Plan (“Plan”) and reserved 20,000,000 shares of our common stock for issuance pursuant to awards thereunder, including options, stock appreciation right, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards, dividend equivalents, or other stock-based awards. The Plan is intended as an incentive, to retain in the employ of the Company, our directors, officers, employees, consultants and advisors, and to attract new officers, employees, directors, consultants and advisors whose services are considered valuable, to encourage the sense of proprietorship and to stimulate the active interest of such persons in the development and financial success of the Company and its subsidiaries.

 

In accordance with the ACS 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, awards granted are valued at fair value at the grant date. The Company recognizes compensation expense on a pro rata straight-line basis over the requisite service period for stock-based compensation awards with both graded and cliff vesting terms. The Company recognizes the cumulative effect of a change in the number of awards expected to vest in compensation expense in the period of change. The Company has not capitalized any portion of its stock-based compensation.

 

  There was not any stock based compensation in the six month period ended June 30, 2019.

 

Awards Issued Under Stock Incentive Plans

 

Stock Option Activity

 

At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we have outstanding 13,650,002 stock options - all of which are fully-vested stock options that were granted to directors, officers and consultants. The outstanding stock options are exercisable at prices ranging from $0.006 to $0.64 and expire between February 2024 and December 2025, for an average exercise price per share of $0.60 and an average remaining term of 7.5 years as of December 31, 2018. During 2016 1,449,998 unvested stock options were either forfeited due to employees leaving the Company or cancelled by the Board due to performance levels not being met. Any compensation amount previously recognized on the straight-line basis relating to the unvested stock options were reversed in the period of cancellation or forfeiture. The remaining 533,334 options vested during the year ended December 31, 2016. There were no options granted, exercised, or forfeited during the Six Months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

 

During the six month period ended June 30, 2019 and the year ended December 31, 2018 we did not recognize any stock-based compensation cost related to the outstanding stock options. The intrinsic value of options outstanding at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was $0. Aggregate intrinsic value represents the value of the Company’s closing stock price on the last trading day of the fiscal period in excess of the exercise price of the option multiplied by the number of options outstanding.

 

Restricted Stock Units

 

On October 10, 2014 we granted an employee 1 million RSU’s convertible into 1 million shares of the Company’s common stock, with a grant date fair market value of $100,000. The grant was made under our 2014 Equity Incentive Plan. 333,333 RSU’s will vest in respect of each calendar year (commencing January 1 and ending December 31) of the Company from 2015 through 2017 if the Company has achieved at least 90% of the total revenue and EBITDA midpoint targets set forth in the agreement. If less than 90% of the target is achieved in respect of any such fiscal year, then the number of RSU’s vesting for that fiscal year shall be 333,333 times the applicable percentage set forth in the agreement; provided that, if the company shall exceed 100% of the revenue and EBITDA midpoint target for the 2018 or 2017 calendar year, and shall have failed to reach 90% of the target for a prior calendar year, the excess over 100% shall be applied to reduce the deficiency in the prior year(s), and an additional number of RSU’s shall vest to reflect the increased revenue for such prior calendar year. Any such excess shall be applied first to reduce any deficiency for the 2015 calendar year and then for the 2016 calendar year. The vesting of the RSU’s shall be effective upon the issuance of the audited financial statements of the Company for the applicable calendar year and shall be based upon the total revenue and EBITDA of the acquired companies as reflected in such financial statements.

 

 

NOTE 8 – INCOME TAXES

 

As of June 30, 2019, , the Company had $12,927,825 of federal net operating loss carry forwards. These carry forwards, if not used, will begin to expire in 2028. Current or future ownership changes, including issuances of common stock under the terms of the Company’s convertible notes payable that were entered into during 2015 and the closing of the Rontan Transaction may severely limit the future realization of these net operating losses.

 

The Company provides for a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that they will not realize a portion of the deferred tax assets. The Company has established a valuation allowance against their net deferred tax asset due to the uncertainty that enough taxable income will be generated in those taxing jurisdictions to utilize the assets. Therefore, they have not reflected any benefit of such deferred tax assets in the accompanying financial statements. The Company’s net deferred tax asset and valuation allowance increased by $589,840 the six month period ending June 30, 2019, related to the current period activity.

 

The Company has reviewed all income tax positions taken or that are expected to be taken for all open years and determined that their income tax positions are appropriately stated and supported for all open years. The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations by tax authorities for years after 2011 due to unexpired net operating loss carryforwards originating in and subsequent to that year. The Company may be subject to income tax examinations for the various taxing authorities which vary by jurisdiction.

 

The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits as additional income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations. As of June 30, 2019, there were no unrecognized tax benefits, or any tax related interest or penalties.

 

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and the various states in which they operate. The former members of NACSV are required to file separate federal and state tax returns for NACSV for the periods prior to our acquisition of NACSV. The Company files consolidated tax returns for subsequent periods. The Company has not filed their U.S. federal and certain state tax returns since 2014 and currently do not have any examinations ongoing. Tax returns for the years 2012 onwards are subject to federal, state or local examinations.

 

NOTE 9 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

During August 2017, Dragon Acquisitions, a related entity owned by William Delgado, a related party, and an individual lender entered into a Promissory Note agreement for $20,000 as well as $2,000 in interest to accrue through maturity on August 31, 2018 for a total of $22,000 due on August 31, 2018. Dragon Acquisition assumed payment of a payable of the Company and the Company took on the note. The Company defaulted on the note at maturity in August 2018. The $20,000 note remained outstanding June 30, 2019 and through the date of this report.

 

On December 26, 2017 (the “effective date”), the Company entered into a $485,000, 7% interest rate, demand promissory note with RLT Consulting, Inc. (RLT), a related party. The note was in settlement of the amounts accrued under a consulting agreement (Note 6), consisting of $200,000 owed for retainer payments through December 2017, as well as $285,000 owed to RLT when the Resolution Progress Funding was met on December 22, 2017. As part of the agreement, RLT may not demand payment prior to the date of the Resolution Funding Date. The Company also agreed to grant 5,000,000 shares within 90 days of the Resolution Progress Funding Date and 10,000,000 shares within 90 days of the Resolution Funding Date. The 5,000,000 shares were issued on March 13, 2018. The Company shall make mandatory prepayment in the following amounts and at the following times –

  

 

 

 

 

Under the terms of the RLT note consulting agreement (Note 6), any unpaid consulting fees subsequent to December 2017 causes a default on the note with unpaid consulting fees to be added to the principal of the note. During the year ended December 31, 2018, consulting fees totaling $100,000 were added to the note principal and are included in the note balance at December 31, 2018. The notes had a balance of $584,000 as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Through the date of this report, monthly consulting fees have not been repaid. The note remains in default however RLT has voluntarily refrained from making demand prior to the Resolution Funding Date. RLT was granted a first priority security interest in the Litigation Proceeds and is pari passu to Parabellum and Vox. To that end, they share in the litigation in a priority position to proceed to repay the note.

 

The June 2018 note bears a personal guarantee by William Delgado, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. As further security for the note, Mr. Delgado has also pledged the 1,000,000 Convertible Preferred Shares of the Company that he owns, as well as 5,000,000 common shares of SHMP, another public company in which Mr. Delgado is a director and Chief Financial Officer.

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, after 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.

 

We are positioning ourselves as a leader in providing comprehensive security and technology solutions. Since May 1, 2012, we have been focusing on acquisitions of defense and defense-related entities both in the United States and abroad. On June 16, 2014 GDSI completed its acquisition of North American Custom Specialty Vehicles (“NACSV”). NACSV’s mobile emergency operations centers (MEOC) can be tailored to the needs of Police, Fire, EMS, Military, Homeland Security, National Guard, FBI, Air National Guard Coast Guard, Chemical/Petrochemical, Humanitarian Aid, Non-Governmental Organizations, Drug Enforcement, Immigration & Customs, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Water Management, Wildlife Management, D.O.T. Engineering & Maintenance, Air & Water Quality Management (EPA), Meteorological Seismic/Oil & Gas Exploration, IS/Mapping Power Generation (Nuclear & Conventional), Power Transmission and Strategic Infrastructure Security. We see many opportunities to improve NACSV and its products and services through the integration of additional software, hardware and firmware technologies.

Going Concern

 

The unaudited condensed 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 30,2019 of approximately $13 million, as well as negative cash flows from operating activities. As of the balance sheet date, the Company did not have sufficient cash resources to meet its plans through June 30, 2019. The Company entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement, which will provide the Company with up to $5,000,000 (after the effectiveness of a registration agreement) through delivery of put notices and delivered the shares.

 

The condensed 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.
