NOTE 1 — BACKGROUND AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 SMG Industries Inc. (“we”, “our”, the “Company” or “SMG”) is a corporation established pursuant to the laws of the State of Delaware on January 7, 2008. The Company’s original business was the acquisition and stockpile of a rare metal known as Indium used in cell phones and other industrial applications. The Company eventually sold its stockpile and distributed most of the proceeds to its stockholders via special dividends and share repurchases.

We are a growth-oriented Transportation Services company focused on the domestic logistics market.

SMG is headquartered in Houston, Texas with facilities in Floresville, Henderson, Odessa, Palestine, Tomball, and Victoria, Texas.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. Throughout 2020 and into 2021, many variants of the virus arose. We are still assessing the impact COVID-19 and related variants (together, “COVID-19”) may have on our business, but there can be no assurance that this analysis will enable us to avoid part or all of any impact from the spread of COVID-19 or its consequences, including downturns in business sentiment generally.  The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic and global efforts to contain its spread will impact our operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time, and include the duration, severity and scope of the pandemic and the actions taken to contain or treat the COVID-19 pandemic.

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of SMG Industries Inc. have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 with are included on a Form 10-K filed on April 19, 2021. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the consolidated financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited consolidated financial statements for years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 have been omitted.

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly subsidiaries, 5J Trucking LLC, 5J Oilfield Services LLC, 5J Specialized LLC, 5J Transportation LLC and 5J Brokerage LLC (together referred to as “5J”), Momentum Water Transfer Services, LLC Jake Oilfield Solutions LLC and Trinity Services LLC (“Trinity”), all of which have a quarter end of March 31 and fiscal year end of December 31. All intercompany accounts, balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.

Acquisition Accounting

The Company’s acquisitions are accounted for using the purchase acquisition method of accounting whereby purchase price is allocated to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on fair value. The excess of the fair value of the consideration conveyed over the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years presented include the results of operations for the 5J Entities and Trinity acquisitions from the date of acquisition.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying value of short-term instruments, including cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and short-term notes approximate fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments. The long-term debt approximate fair value since the related rates of interest approximate current market rates.

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company utilizes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurements, defined as follows:

Level 1: inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets

Level 2: inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.

Level 3: inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value

The Company does not have any assets or liabilities that are required to be measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.

Discontinued Operations

In December 2020 we sold MG and decided to cease the operations of Trinity. A component of an entity that is disposed of by sale or ceasing of operations is reported as discontinued operations if the transaction represents a strategic shift that will have a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results. As such, MG and Trinity are reported as discontinued operations.

Assets and liabilities of the discontinued operations are aggregated and reported separately as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The results of discontinued operations are aggregated and presented separately in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as net loss from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. The cash flows of the discontinued operations are reflected as cash flows of discontinued operations within the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.

Amounts presented in discontinued operations have been derived from our consolidated financial statements and accounting records using the historical basis of assets, liabilities, results of operations, and cash flows of Trinity and MG Cleaners. The discontinued operations exclude general corporate allocations.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share

The Company presents both basic and diluted net loss per share on the face of the statements of operations. Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted per share calculations give effect to all potentially dilutive shares of common stock outstanding during the period, including stock options and warrants, and using the treasury-stock method. If anti-dilutive, the effect of potentially dilutive shares of common stock is ignored. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, 2,060,000 of stock options, 1,763,335 of warrants, 4,000,000 shares issuable from Series A Preferred Stock and 29,413,660 shares issuable from convertible notes were considered for their dilutive effects. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, 2,860,000 of stock options, 1,763,335 of warrants, 4,000,000 shares issuable from Series A Preferred Stock, 4,806,388 shares issuable from Series B Preferred Stock and 6,500,000 shares issuable from convertible notes were considered for their dilutive effects. As a result of the Company’s net losses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, all potentially dilutive instruments were excluded as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Reclassification

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company does not believe that any recently issued effective pronouncements, or pronouncements issued but not yet effective, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and, no adjustments to the consolidated financial statements have been made to account for this uncertainty. The Company concluded that the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 global pandemic, its negative working capital, and negative cash flows from operations are conditions that raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company plans to continue to generate additional revenue (and improve cash flows from operations) in connection with its anticipated growth related to the Company’s February 2020 acquisition of 5J and its expanded revenue lines in heavy haul, super heavy haul, drilling rig mobilization, commodity freight, and brokerage services. The Company believes that loans obtained under the Paycheck Protection Program in 2020 and 2021 will be forgiven in accordance with the terms of the program.

NOTE 4 – REVENUE

All of the Company’s revenue from continuing operations is currently generated from services. As such no further disaggregation of revenue information is provided. All revenues are currently in the southern region of the United States.

Results of Operations

Quarter Ended March 31, 2021 Compared to the Quarter Ended March 31, 2020

The Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 present the assets and liabilities of MG and Trinity as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations. The Consolidated Statements of Operations for the quarters ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 present the results of MG and Trinity as net loss from discontinued operations. The Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 present operating, investing, and financing activities of MG and Trinity as cash flows from or used in discontinued operations.

Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 increased to $7,602,328 from $4,360,381 for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, driven by the acquisition of 5J on February 27, 2020, increased drilling rig relocations and improved customer demand resulting from lessened impacts of the global COVID-19 pandemic and its economic affects in the markets we serve.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, cost of sales increased to $8,700,508, or 114% of sales, compared to $4,663,359, or 107% of sales for the 2020 period. The increase in cost of sales is due primarily to the 5J acquisition.  Cost of sales includes non-cash depreciation expense of $1,418,401 for the quarter ended a March 31, 2021, and $542,493 for the comparable period in 2020, primarily driven the 5J acquisition on February 27,2020, and related step-up fair value adjustments in the prior year. The cost of sales exceeding revenues during 2021 and 2020 was the result of lower than required revenues to cover fixed costs within cost of sales. 

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2021was $1,512,400 or 19.9% of revenues, compared to $2,098,330 for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, which included $1,489,417 of 5J acquisition costs   Excluding these costs, selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 were $608,193, or 14.0% of revenues.  

Interest expense is $1,248,789 and $344,599 for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, respectively. The increase is a result of increased borrowings to fund 5J acquisition.

The net loss from continuing operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 was $3,808,568 as compared to a net loss of $2,745,907 for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.

We plan to address our net loss and future operating results with a goal to achieve positive cash flow from operations by increasing sales organically or through acquisitions, covering more fixed costs within cost of sales, improving gross margins with better sales mix adding more higher margin service revenues such as super heavy haul, and reducing general and administrative costs including professional fees.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows

Operating activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $1,055,810 for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, compared to $2,546,469 for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, including $530,013 of cash provided by discontinued operations during the quarter ended March 31, 2021, and $599,754 of cash used in discontinued operations during the quarter ended March 31, 2020.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2021, net cash used in continuing operating activities of $1,585,823 consisted of net loss from continuing operations of $3,808,568, plus $1,706,170 of non-cash items, consisting primarily of depreciation and amortization of $1,418,401, amortization of deferred financing costs of $245,722 and amortization of right of use assets – operating leases of $88,589, less $516,575 changes in operating assets and other operating activities.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2020, net cash used in continuing operating activities of $1,946,715 consisted of net loss from continuing operations of $2,745,907, plus $669,190 of non-cash items, consisting primarily of depreciation and amortization of $542,493, amortization of deferred financing costs of $80,954 and amortization of right of use assets – operating leases of $33,786, plus $130,002 changes in operating assets and other operating activities.

Investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $35,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, compared to $6,405,046 for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, related to payment of a portion of the consideration for the disposal of MG Cleaners LLC.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2021, net cash used in investing activities consisted of $35,000 paid to the buyer of MG Cleaners. For the quarter ended March 31, 2020, net cash used in investing activities consisted of $6,320,168 cash paid for the acquisition of 5J Entities and $84,878 of net capital expenditures.

Financing activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,181,614 for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, compared to $9,442,012 for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, including $150,173 cash used in discontinued operations and $799,754 cash provided by discontinued operations, respectively.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2021, net cash provided by financing activities consisted of net proceeds from notes payable of $1,874,002 and proceeds from convertible notes payable of $150,000, offset by payments on notes payable of $338,001 and net payments on secured lines of credit of $354,214.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2020, net cash provided by financing activities consisted of net proceeds from notes payable of $1,952,248, proceeds from convertible notes payable of $1,350,000 and net proceeds from secured line of credit of $5,719,410, offset by payments on notes payable of $139,842 and payments of deferred financing costs of $239,558.

Our cash flows from operations are primarily funded through our financing activities, including our accounts receivable line of credit facility, notes and loans, stock sales, issuing our stock for services and various leases. Currently, we believe we will need to continue to utilize lines of credit, borrowings, and stock sales to sufficiently sustain our current level of operations for the next 12 months. At present, we believe the industry and general domestic economic activity is still depressed given current commodity prices and the global COVID-19 pandemic that is prevalent in the markets we operate. We likely will require additional capital to maintain or expand operations. Additionally, we believe any material acquisition of another operating company would require additional outside capital consisting of debt or equity. Failure to secure additional funds could significantly hamper our ongoing operations particularly if a down cycle in our industry continues further. As the business cycle improves, and the pandemic dissipates in the markets we serve, we plan to improve our cash flows provided in operating activities by focusing on increasing sales by increasing utilization of the assets we have acquired and offering higher value services that receive higher gross margins. However, there can be no assurances given of industry improvement, pandemic relief or improved cash flows of our business.

Historically, we have funded our capital expenditures internally through cash flow, leasing, and financing arrangements. We intend to continue to fund future capital expenditures through cash flow, as well as through capital available to us pursuant to our line of credit, capital from the sale of our equity securities and through commercial leasing and financing programs.

Off-Balance-Sheet Transactions

As of March 31, 2021, the Company has an open letter of credit in the amount of $323,516 as collateral for its insurance policy.

Item 3.  Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

We are a smaller reporting company and, therefore, we are not required to provide information required by this item.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures: Our management carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness and design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer has concluded that, at March 31, 2021, such disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls: Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of our disclosure control system are met. Because of inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer has concluded, based on his evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report that our disclosure controls and procedures were not sufficiently effective to provide reasonable assurance that the objectives of our disclosure control system were met. 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting: There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the three month period ended March 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
