NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

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.

The Company is a growth-oriented transportation services company focused on the domestic infrastructure logistics market.  Through several of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries branded as the “5J Transportation Group,” it offers specialized heavy haul, super heavy haul, flatbed, brokerage, drilling rig mobilization and driveaway services. 5J’s engineered permitted jobs can support up to 500-thousand-pound loads including infrastructure cargo associated with bridge beams, wind energy, power generation components, compressors, and refinery and construction equipment.

SMG is headquartered in Houston, Texas with facilities in Floresville, Hempstead, Henderson, Houston, Odessa, Palestine, Victoria, Texas and Fort Mill, South Carolina.

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of SMG 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, 2022 and 2021 in the Form 10-K filed on April 17, 2023. 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 Form 10-K 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, 5J Logistics Services LLC and 5J Driveaway LLC (together referred to as “5J “ or “5J Transportation Group”), Momentum Water Transfer Services, LLC (“MWTS”), Jake Oilfield Solutions LLC (“Jake”) and Trinity Services LLC (“Trinity”), all of which have quarter ends of March 31 and fiscal year end of December 31. All intercompany accounts, balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid accounts with original maturities of three months or less at the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents. Periodically, the Company may carry cash balances at financial institutions in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000. The amount in excess of the FDIC insurance as of March 31, 2023 was $32,054. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes, based upon the quality of the financial institutions, that the credit risk with regard to these deposits is not significant.

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the balance sheets that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the statements of cash flows.

​

​

Table of Contents

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 MG and Trinity. The discontinued operations exclude general corporate allocations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying value of short-term instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, 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.

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company did 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. 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, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The results of discontinued operations are aggregated and presented separately in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as net income from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. 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, 2023 and 2022.

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 using the treasury-stock method, and as result of the adoption of ASU 2020-06, using the if-converted method for outstanding convertible instruments. If anti-dilutive, the effect of potentially dilutive shares of common stock is ignored. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, 2,165,000 of stock options, 1,763,335 of warrants and 86,189,050 shares issuable from convertible notes were considered for their dilutive effects. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, 1,525,000 of stock options, 1,763,335 of warrants and 79,467,400 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, 2023 and 2022, all potentially dilutive instruments were excluded as their effective would have been anti-dilutive.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326):  Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (ASU 2016-13).  ASU 2016-13 requires credit losses on most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments to be measured using an expected credit loss model (referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model).  Under the CECL model entities will estimate credit losses over the entire contractual term of the instrument (considering estimated prepayments, but not expected extensions or modifications unless reasonable expectation of a troubled debt restructuring exists) from the date of initial recognition of that instrument.  Further, ASU 2016-13 made certain targeted amendments to the existing impairment standards for available for sale (“AFS”) debt securities. An entity will apply the amendments in ASU 2016-13 through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. The Company determined that the update applied to its trade accounts receivable and adopted the guidance on January 1, 2023 with no material impact to the Company’s financial statements or results of operations. The Company estimates its expected credit losses based on the expected losses on its receivables based on a variety of data, including current economic conditions in the Company’s industry and the credit status of the Company’s customers.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470- 20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. This ASU (1) simplifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock by removing the existing guidance in ASC 470-20, Debt: Debt with Conversion and Other Options, that requires entities to account for beneficial conversion features and cash conversion features in equity, separately from the host convertible debt or preferred stock; (2) revises the scope exception from derivative accounting in ASC 815-40 for freestanding financial instruments and embedded features that are both indexed to the issuer’s own stock and classified in stockholders’ equity, by removing certain criteria required for equity classification; and (3) revises the guidance in ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, to require entities to calculate diluted earnings per share (EPS) for convertible instruments by using the if-converted method. In addition, entities must presume share settlement for purposes of calculating diluted EPS when an instrument may be settled in cash or shares. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2023, which resulted in a reduction to additional paid in capital of $4,694,664, a decrease in accumulated deficit of $3,486,887 and a reduction of remaining unamortized debt discount of $1,207,777 related to the previously recognized beneficial conversion features on the Company’s convertible debt.

​

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 its recurring net losses and its negative working capital are conditions that raise 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 within its heavy haul, super heavy haul, drilling rig mobilization, commodity freight, brokerage services and driveway services revenue streams.

​

All of Trinity’s equipment was sold in the year ended December 31, 2021 at auction through a third party auctioneer. All proceeds are being utilized to retire outstanding Trinity debt.

MG Cleaners LLC

On December 22, 2020, the Company, as the sole member of MG Cleaners LLC (“MG”), entered into a share exchange agreement (“Agreement”) with S&A Christian Investments L.L.C. (“S&A”) pursuant to which the Company transferred all of the membership interests of MG (“MG Interests”) to S&A in exchange for Stephen Christian, the control person of S&A, returning 1,408,276 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.001 per share (“Exchanged Shares”) to the Company for cancellation, additional consideration received by the Company in connection with the transaction included the removal of the Company as a guarantor of certain MG debt.

The Company also agreed to pay $150,000 in cash to MG Cleaners, with $35,000 and $75,000 paid in December 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The decision to sell Trinity assets and the MG sale agreement qualify as discontinued operations in accordance with U.S. GAAP, as each represents a significant strategy shift of the Company’s operations that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations. As a result, the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 present the assets and liabilities of MG and Trinity as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations. The Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 present the results of MG and Trinity as Net loss from discontinued operations. The Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 present operating, investing, and financing activities of MG and Trinity as cash flows from or used in discontinued operations.
