Our Business

DSG Global Inc. (“DSG”) is a technology development company based in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada, engaged in the design, manufacture, and marketing of fleet management solutions for the golf industry, as well as commercial, government and military applications. Our principal activities are the sale and rental of GPS tracking devices and interfaces for golf vehicles, and related support services. We were founded by a group of individuals who have dedicated their careers to fleet management technologies and have been at the forefront of the industry’s most innovative developments, and our executive team has over 50 years of experience in the design and manufacture of wireless, GPS, and fleet tracking solutions. We have developed the TAG suite of products that we believe is the first completely modular fleet management solution for the golf industry. The TAG suite of products is currently sold and installed around the world in golf facilities and as commercial applications through a network of established distributors and partnerships with some of the most notable brands in fleet and equipment manufacture.

VTS is giving fleet operators new capabilities to track and control their vehicles through the new INFINITY XL system and the new 3G-4G TAG. We have developed inhouse a proprietary combination of hardware and software that is marketed around the world as the INFINITY TAG system. We have primarily focused on the golf industry where the TAG system is deployed to help golf course operators manage their fleet of golf carts, turf equipment, and utility vehicles. We are a leader in the category of fleet management in the golf industry and were awarded “Best Technology of the Year” in 2010 by Boardroom magazine, a publication of the National Golf Course Owners Association. To date, the TAG system is installed on vehicles around the world and has been used to monitor millions of rounds of golf.

4

We believe the TAG system fills a void in the marketplace by offering a modular structure that allows the customer to customize their system to meet desired functionality and budget constraints. In addition to the core TAG system vehicle control functionality, which can operate independently, we offer 3 information display systems to the golf courses management and golfer — the alphanumeric TEXT and high definition 12” INFINITY XL, 10” INFINITY RM and 7” INFINITY DM— providing the operator with three display options which is unique in the industry. VTS also offers inhouse financing thru purchase or lease.

The primary market for our TAG system is the golf industry, with over 40,000 golf operations worldwide. While the golf industry remains the primary focus of our sales and marketing efforts, we have completed several successful pilots of the TAG system in other markets such as agriculture and commercial fleet operations. With appropriate resources, we intend to expand our sales and marketing efforts into these new markets.

We are expanding our sales force in North America, which comprises the most significant portion of the golf fleet market and have developed key relationships with privately owned distributors and golf equipment manufacturers such as E-Z-GO, Yamaha and Ransomes Jacobsen to help drive sales through-out Europe, Asia, UK and many other markets worldwide Including our most recent move to New Zealand and Australia.

Our most recent product that is used to increase the pace of play on the course by up to 90 minutes per round is the RAPTOR. Our 3- wheel single rider cart allows the course to revenue share with VTS as the RAPTOR is put on the course free of charge and then allows the course to revenue share with VTS along the way. Each seat is rented to the customers for a minimum of $25 per round.

In order to successfully deliver products, increase sales, and maintain customer satisfaction, we need to have a reliable supplier of our hardware units and components at competitive prices. Presently, we source our TAG and INFINITY fleet from a Fortune 200 company in North America who has manufacturing in China and our RAPTORS from a supplier in the United Kingdom and Asia. This new relationship that has been established provides us with higher quality, newer technology at competitive pricing.

In addition, VTS recently engaged with a telecommunications provider to provide new technology in hardware and wireless access through-out the world therefore allowing VTS to substantially reduce cellular cost.

On September 15, 2020, the Company incorporated Imperium Motor Corp. (“Imperium”), under the laws of the State of Nevada on September 10, 2020, for which it subscribed to all authorized capital stock, 100 shares of Preferred Class A Stock, at a price of $0.001 per share. Imperium is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

Production Partners

Zhejiang Jonway Automobile Co.

Imperium has exclusive US distribution rights for Zhejiang Jonway Automobile Co., Ltd (“Jonway”) built EVs.

Jonway began manufacturing in May 2003. The Taizhou city, Zhejiang province manufacturing plant has an area of 57.3 hectares with more than 800 employees. It has invested more than 600 million RMB in producing the three and five-door SUVs, with a capacity to produce up to 30,000 units per year. The manufacturing operations include pressing, welding, painting and assembling lines. It has also gained the TS16949:2009, GCC, SASO, SONCAP and CCC certification. Jonway offers a network of more than 500 auto dealerships in China alone and has started a distribution network in Italy.

As a national first-class production enterprise, Jonway has passed the ISO 9001 quality management system certification, the product has passed the European certification and the American DOT, EPA certification, and has been exported to more than 80 countries in the world. Jonway has announced its third assembly plant in the city of Xuzhou, China.

Earlier last year Jonway completed the purchase of a new assembly plant located in the city of Xuzhou, China. The city is located about halfway between Beijing and Shanghai, China in Jiangsu Province. Xuzhou is one of the largest cities in China and an important gateway to East China.

The new plant is the third major assembly plant for Jonway. All Four Wheel and Three Wheel vehicles will be assembled at this new location. The capacity is over 50,000 vehicles annually running only one shift and can be increased with a second shift.

There are two additional buildings being added and when finished will give them over 1,000,000 square feet of under roof. This ultra-modern plant has Kawasaki welding robots, high-capacity plastic injection machinery and cutting-edge paint facilities. Jonway plans on introducing several new electric vehicle models during 2021. The facility will produce new vehicles for Imperium Motor Company for delivery in the United States, Mexico, Canada and Caribbean. Jonway is a leading supplier of affordable Electric Vehicles in Asia and Europe and now in North America via their exclusive distribution partner Imperium Motor, a division of DSG Global. Along with assembling new vehicles the facility will also be able to provide Semi Knock Down Kits that can be final assembled in their prospective markets.

Imperium Exclusive Distribution Territory for Jonway Vehicles

United States

The number of electric vehicles on U.S. roads is projected to reach 18.7 million in 2030, up from 1 million at the end of 2018. This is about 7% of the 259 million vehicles (cars and light trucks) expected to be on U.S. roads in 2030. EV sales in the United States were up 79% in 2018 while global EV sales grew 64% in the same year.

Canada

Sales for 2018 were over 150% higher than 2017 and saw more EVs sold across the country in 2018 than in the previous three years combined. Nearly 3% of all new vehicles are electric, a higher rate than in the United States.

Mexico

EV sales in Latin America increased by 90% in 2018 due to growing demand in Mexico, Colombia and Costa Rica. While the LatAm EV market is far smaller than East Asia, Europe and North America, accounting for less than 1% of global EV sales in 2018, it is starting to grow thanks to a handful of incentives and targets. Mexico and Costa Rica, for example, exempt EVs from numerous taxes while Colombia has an ambitious target of 600,000 EVs on its roads by 2030.

Companies are also increasing their activity. BYD Co. now sells electric buses across the region and Tesla Inc. recently launched its best-selling Model 3 in Mexico.

Caribbean

While most Caribbean islands are rapidly modernizing their electric grids, the modernization of transportation systems has lagged. Is change in the air? In November, the government of Bermuda signed a memorandum of understanding with the Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI), embracing a plan to fully transition the island’s transportation sector to EVs.

The case for EVs is strong in Bermuda, as it is across the Caribbean. With predominantly flat terrain and driving distances that are short enough to eliminate “range anxiety,” EVs make perfect sense.

Caribbean nations are uniquely positioned to reap major benefits from EVs with the abundance of sunshine that could provide renewable solar power on a significant scale. EV adoption would also reduce reliance on fuel imports, which creates extreme economic vulnerability linked to oil price fluctuations as well as contribute to disaster resilience through energy storage—EV batteries can serve as backup power sources during hurricanes.

Imperium Motor Company Experience Center

Our Imperium Electric Vehicle Northern California Experience Center is located in Fairfield, Solano County, California. Solano County is situated between two of the largest Electric Vehicle markets in California, the San Francisco Bay Area and Greater Sacramento with a combined population of over 10 million people. California is historically the top EV sales volume state with 50% of sales within the United States. The building sits right next to the crossroads of Freeway 80 and Freeway 680 in one of the best economic areas in the nation.

The Experience Center will feature the various models of new Electric Cars, Trucks, Vans, UTVs, ATVs and Scooters arriving soon from the manufacturer. The new building will not only display our new selection of Electric Vehicles but will also host the center for Dealer training and Parts and Service support.

58 public electric vehicle (EVs) charging locations available in Solano County, California. The number of charging points worldwide was estimated to be approximately 5.2 million at the end of 2018, up 44% from the year before. As of March 2020, the U.S. had approximately 78,500 charging outlets and almost 25,000 charging stations for plug-in electric vehicles. ChargePoint, which manages a network of EV charging locations worldwide, has pledged to build out 2.5 million public charging ports by 2025, with roughly half of those in North America and half in Europe.

Imperium’s Green Story

Gas powered combustion engines are not the future of transportation, they are the past. Our line of electric vehicles produces no emissions, almost no heat, little noise, and can be fully powered by renewable resources like solar and wind energy. Imperium will be offering a combination solar/wind home charging station for a 100%

sustainable, 100% zero carbon solution.

Technology Overview

DSG produces a “modular” suite of products to provide fleet management solution for any vehicle required for a golf operation and provides two golfer information display options to meet the operators budget requirements. DSG believes that it is currently the only company in the golf fleet management industry with these capabilities.

The VTS TAG System is designed from the ground up to be a golf/turf vehicle fleet management system. Its main function is addressing the golf course operator needs. While employing same core technology (cellular wireless and GPS) as traditional commercial vehicle fleet management systems, DSG has created patent pending solutions to adapt it to the very specific requirements of the golf environment. Compared to mainstream fleet tracking products, DSG collects 10 to 50 times more data points per MB (megabyte) of cellular data due to its proprietary data collection and compression algorithms. Also the relative positioning accuracy is improved by almost one order of magnitude by the use of application-specific geo-data validation and correction methods.

DSG’s proprietary methods make it possible to offer a solution suitable for use on golf courses at a price low enough to be affordable in the industry. Every system component incorporates state-of-the-art technology (server, mobile trackers, display). In developing its products VTS TAG Systems has adopted an application-oriented approach placing the most emphasis (and research & development) on server and end-user software by taking advantage of the commodity level reached by mainstream technologies such as Global Positioning (GPS) and M2M (Machine to Machine) Cellular Data in the wider context of Commercial Fleet Management.

DSG leveraged the existence of an abundance of very cost-effective telematics solutions by selecting an “off-the-shelf” hardware platform that meets all the main performance and environmental requirements for operation in the harsh, outdoor golf course environment. While removing all risk and cost associated with developing a proprietary hardware platform, DSG has maintained the unique nature of its hardware solution by developing a set of proprietary adapters and interfaces specifically for the golf application.

DSG has secured an exclusive supply agreement with the third-party hardware manufacturers for the vertical of golf industry. Additionally, DSG owns the design of all proprietary adapters and interfaces. This removes the risk of a potential competitor utilizing the same hardware platform. Competitors could attempt to reverse engineer or copycat the TAG technology and equipment. This risk factor is mitigated by the fact that our product does not rely on a particular technology or hardware platform to be successful but on a very specific vertical software application that is far more difficult to copy (and respectively easier to protect).

The application software contains patent features implemented in every core component of the system. The TAG device runs DSG proprietary firmware incorporating unique data collection and compression algorithms. The web server software which powers the end-user application is also proprietary and incorporates the industry knowledge accumulated through the over 70 years of collective experience of the DSG team.

This approach has given the product line a high level of endurance against technology obsolescence. At any point in time, if a hardware component is discontinued or a better/less expensive hardware platform becomes available, the software application can be easily adapted to operate on the new platform or with the new component. The company benefits from the constant increase of performance and cost reduction of mainstream hardware technology without any additional cost.

10

The web-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model used by VTS TAG System is optimal for low operating and support costs and rapid-cycle release for software updates. It is also a major factor in eliminating or substantially reducing the need for any end-user premises equipment. Customers have access to the service through any internet connected computer or mobile device, there is no need for a local wireless network on the facility and installation time and cost are minimal.

DSG is positioned to take advantage of mainstream technology and utilize “best of breed” hardware platforms to create new generations of products. Our software is designed to be “portable” to future new platforms with better GPS and wireless technology in order to maintain the Company competitive edge.

All new product development effort of DSG is following the same model: select the best of breed third-party hardware platform, design and produce custom proprietary accessories while focusing the bulk of the development efforts on vertical software application to address a very specific set of end-customer needs.

The latest addition to the TAG family of products, the TAG INFINITY is a perfect example of this development philosophy in action: the main component is a last-generation Android tablet PC wrapped in a custom designed outdoor enclosure containing the power supply and interface components required for the golf environment. The software application is taking advantage of all the advanced high-resolution graphics, touch user interface and computing power of the Android OS delivering a vastly superior user experience compared to competitive systems. The time to market for this product was 30% of how long it took to develop and launch this type of products in the past.

The TAG Control Unit

The company’s flagship product is the TAG Control unit. The TAG can operate as a “stand alone” unit or with one of two displays; the INFINITY 7” alphanumeric display or the INFINITY high definition “touch activated” screen. The TAG is GPS enabled and communicates with the TAG software using cellular GSM networks. Utilizing the cellular networks rather than erecting a local Wi-Fi network assures carrier grade uptime, and vehicle tracking “off- property”. GSM is the de facto global standard for mobile communications.

The TAG unit itself is discreetly installed usually in the nose of the vehicle to give the GPS clear line of site. It is then connected to the vehicle battery and ignition. The property is then mapped using the latest satellite imagery that is graphically enhanced and loaded into the TAG System as a map.

Once installed the vehicle owner utilizes the TAG software to locate the vehicle in real time using any computer, smartphone, or tablet that has an internet connection and perform various management operations.

The operator can use the geo-fencing capabilities to create “zones” on the property where they can control the vehicles behavior such as shutting down a vehicle that is entering a sensitive or dangerous area. The TAG System also monitors the strength of the vehicle’s battery helping to prevent sending out vehicles undercharged batteries which can be an inconvenience for the course and negatively impact the golfer experience.

PROGRAMMATIC Advertising Platform

A unique feature of the INFINITY XL 12” system is the advertising display capability. This can be used by the operator for internal promotion of services or for generating revenue by selling the ad real estate since the golf demographic is very desirable to advertisers. The INFINITY XL 12” displays banner, panel, full page, pro tip, and Green view ads. There is also ad real estate on the interactive feature screens for Food and Beverage ordering and the scorecard. The Infinity XL 12” System can also display animated GIF files or play video for added impact.

14

Advertising displayed in multiple formats including animated GIF and video

DSG has developed proprietary “Ad Manager” software which is used to place and change the ads on the system(s) from a central NOC (Network Operations Center) in real time. The Ad Manager can deploy to a single system or multiple systems. This creates a network of screens that is also very desirable to advertisers as ad content can be deployed locally, regionally, or nationally. The advertising platform is an important part of the company’s future marketing and sales strategy.

DSG R3 Advertising Platform

The DSG R3 program delivers advance ROI (Revenue Optimization Intelligence). Utilizing all streams of advertising delivery, such as automated, direct, and self-serve. The R3 program has the ability to deliver relevant advertising to golfers the moment they sit in the cart. The R3 model is more effective than the previous advertising model of ‘One to One’, these are local ads only sold through direct sales by courses, or 3 rd party advertising sales firms. The new R3 model offers ‘Many to one’ advertising options, delivering thousands of national, regional, and local advertisers an opportunity to advertise on our screens through our R3 Marketplace.

Previous ‘One to One’ model vs the new R3 model ‘Many to One’

TAG TURF/ECO TAG

The TAG Turf and the new ECO TAG were developed to give course operators the same back end management features for their turf equipment and utility vehicles. Turf equipment is expensive, and a single piece can run over $100,000 and represents a large portion of a golf course operating budget. The TAG Turf and ECO TAG have comprehensive reporting that the operator can utilize to implement programs that can increase efficiencies, reduce labor costs, help lower idle times, provide fuel consumption and equipment performance, provide historical data on cutting patterns, and reduce pollution from emissions by monitoring idle times. Since the golf course needs to be maintained regardless of volume these cost saving measures directly impact the operator’s bottom line.

Revenue Model

DSG derives revenue from four different sources.

Systems Sales Revenue, which consists of the sales price paid by those customers who purchase our TAG system hardware lease our TAG system hardware.

Monthly Service Fees are paid by all customers for the wireless data fee charges required to operate the GPS tracking on the TAG systems.

Monthly Rental Fees are paid by those customers that rent the TAG system hardware. The amount of a customer’s monthly payment varies based on the type of equipment rented (a TAG, a TAG and INFINITY 7”, or a TAG and INFINITY XL 12”).

Programmatic Advertising Revenue is a new source of revenue that we believe has the potential to be strategic for us in the future. We are in the process of implementing and designing software to provide advertising and other media functionality on our INFINITY.

We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. In instances where final acceptance of the product is specified by the customer, revenue is deferred until all acceptance criteria have been met. We accrue for warranty costs, sales returns, and other allowances based on its historical experience.

Our revenue recognition policies are discussed in more detail under “Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Markets

Sales and Marketing Plan

The market for the TAG System is the worldwide golf cart and Turf equipment fleets. There are 40,000 golf courses around the world with North America being the largest individual market with 20,000. This represents over 3,000,000 vehicles. The golf market has five distinct types of operations. Municipal, Private Country Clubs, Destination Resorts, Public Commercial, Military and University affiliated. VTS has deployed and has case studies developed TAG systems in each of these categories.

Our marketing strategy is focused on building brand awareness, generating quality leads, and providing excellent customer service.

North America Sales

Since the largest market is North America the Company employs a direct sales team and sales agents that provide full sales coverage. Our sales agents are experienced golf industry professionals who maintain established relationships with the golf industry and carry multiple golf lines. Our sales objective is to offer our existing and prospective customers a dedicated, knowledgeable, and outstanding customer service team.

In addition, our team is dedicated to existing accounts that focus on up-selling and cross-selling additional products to our current customer base, securing renewal agreements, and providing excellent customer service. The current regions are:

Western Canada
Eastern Canada
Northeast USA
Western USA
Southeastern USA
Midwest USA

International Sales

DSG focuses on select global golf markets that offer significant volume opportunities and that value the benefits that our products deliver.

We utilize strategic distributor partnerships in each targeted region/country to sell, install and service our products. Distributors are selected based on market strength, market share, technical and selling capability, and overall reputation. We believe that DSG solutions appeal to all distributors because they are universal and fit any make or model of vehicle. We maintain and leverage our strong relationship with Yamaha, E-Z-GO and Ransomes Jacobsen (sister company to E-Z-GO) in developing our distributor network around the world. Today, many of our distributor partners are the leading distributors for E-Z-GO and RJ and hold a dominant position in their respective markets. While they are Yamaha or E-Z-GO distributors, most sell DSG products to all courses regardless of their choice of golf car as a value add to their customers and to generate additional revenue. We complement this distributor base with independent distributors as needed to ensure we have sufficient coverage in critical markets.

Currently DSG is focused on expanding in Europe, Asia and South Africa. The Company plans to expand next into Australia, New Zealand and Latin America.

Management Companies

Many golf facilities are managed by management companies. The portfolios of these companies vary from a few to hundreds of golf courses. Troon®, the world’s largest player in golf course management, has over 200 courses under management. The management companies provide everything from branding, staffing, management systems, marketing, and procurement. DSG is currently providing products and services to Troon, OB Sports, Kemper Sports, Trump, Marriott Golf, Blue Green, Crown Golf, American Golf, Billy Casper, Club Corp, and Club Link.

DSG has been successful in completing installations and developing relationships with several of the key players who control a substantial number of courses. DSG will continue to implement system developments that are driven by the needs of these management companies such as combined reporting, multiple course access through a centralized dashboard. This development will become a competitive advantage for DSG in the management company market.

17

DSG has dedicated a team to create specific collateral for this market and has assigned a senior executive to have direct responsibility to manage these relationships.

Competition

We compete with a number of established producers and distributors of vehicle fleet management systems. Our competitors include producers of golf specific applications, such as GPS Industries, LLC., one of the leading suppliers of golf cart fleet management systems, as well as producers of non-golf specific utility vehicle fleet management systems, such as Toro. Many of our competitors have longer operating histories, better brand recognition and greater financial resources than we do. In order for us to successfully compete in our industry we must:

demonstrate our products’ competitive advantages;
develop a comprehensive marketing system; and
increase our financial resources.

However, there can be no assurance that even if we do these things, we will be able to compete effectively with the other companies in our industry.

We believe that we will be able to compete effectively in our industry because of the versatility, reliability, and relative affordability of our products when compared to those of our competitors. We will attempt to build awareness of our competitive advantages among existing and potential customers through trade shows, sales visits and demonstrations, online marketing, and positive word of mouth advertising.

However, as we are a newly established company relative to our competitors, we face the same problems as other new companies starting up in an industry, such as limited access to capital. Our competitors may be substantially larger and better funded than us, and have significantly longer histories of research, operation and development than us. In addition, they may be able to provide more competitive products than we can and generally be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in legislation and regulations relating to the industry. Additionally, our competitors may devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products or services than we do. Increased competition could also result in loss of key personnel, reduced margins or loss of market share, any of which could harm our business.

Our primary competitor in the field of golf course fleet management is GPS Industries, a company that was founded in 1996 by our sole officer, founder and one of our directors, Mr. Bob Silzer. GPS Industries is currently the largest player in the marketplace with an installed base of approximately 750 golf courses worldwide. GPS Industries was consolidated by various mergers and acquisitions with a diversity of hardware platforms and application software. Since 2009, when GPS Industries has introduced their latest product offering called the Visage, in an exclusive partnership with Club Car, their strategy has been to target mostly their existing customers and motivate them into replacing their existing, older GPS system, with the Visage system.

GPS Industries is leveraging very heavily their partnership with Club Car, which is one of the three largest golf cart manufacturers in the world and at times is benefiting from golf operators’ preference for Club Car and their vehicles when they select their management system.

Market Mix

Since the introduction of the DSG product line, we have shown golf course operators that they have now access to a budget-friendly fleet management tool that works not only on golf carts but also with all other vehicles used on the golf course such as turf maintenance, shuttles, and other utility vehicles.

Marketing studies have identified that half of the golf course operators only need a fleet management system and only 15% need a high-end GPS golf system. This illustrates the strong competitive advantage that VTS TAG Systems has versus GPS Industries since their product can only address the needs of a relatively small fraction of the marketplace.

Consequently, GPS Industries’ installed base has steadily declined since most of their new product installations have replaced older product for existing customers and some customers have opted for a lower budget system and switched over to VTS TAG Systems.

Marketing Activities

The Company has a multi-layered approach marketing the TAG suite of products. One of the foundations of this plan is attending industry trade shows which are well attended by golf operators. The two largest shows are the PGA Merchandise Show and the Golf Industry Show which are held in Florida at the end of January. The Company also attends a number of regional shows around North America. International events are attended by our distributors and partners.

The second layer of marketing is memberships in key organizations such as the National Golf Course Owners Association, Golf Course Superintendents Association, and Club Managers Association of America. These are very influential in the industry and have marketing channels such as publications, email blasts, and web-based marketing. The Company also markets directly to course operators through email, surveys direct mail programs.

18

Lead Generation

One of the primary sources of lead generation is through the Company’s strategic partnerships with E-Z-GO, Yamaha, and Ransomes Jacobson. These relationships provide the Company with a great deal of market intelligence. The sales forces of the partners work in tandem with the DSG sales team by passing on the leads, creating joint proposals, and distributing TAG sales material. The Company has also created co-branded materials for specific value items of interest to operators such as Pace of Play solutions. DSG sale s and marketing staff attend partner sales events to conduct training and discuss marketing strategies.

The Company is in the process of testing an internal telemarketing program in several key markets to gauge whether this particular channel warrants larger scale implementation.

Competitive Advantages

Pricing

One of the “heroes” of the TAG System is providing the course operator a range of modular fleet management options that are very competitively priced. Pricing options range from the TURF, TAG, Infinity 7”, and Infinity XL 12” System, giving the customer a wide range of pricing options.

Functional advantages

DSG has the distinctive advantage of being able to offer a true fleet management system, encompassing all the vehicles on the golf course, not just the golf carts. Due to the modular nature of the system, customers have now the option to configure their system’s configuration to match exactly their needs and their budget.

Product advantages

DSG products are the robust, reliable, and user-friendly systems in the world. DSG is the only company currently providing systems that are waterproof with internal batteries to ensure our partners retain the full golf cart manufacturer’s warranty.

Operational Plan

Our Operations Department’s main functions are outlined below:

Product Supply Chain Management

Product procurement, lead-time management
Inventory Control

Customer Service

Training
Troubleshooting & Support
Hardware Repairs

Installations

Content & graphics procurement
System configurations
Shipping and Installation

Infrastructure Management

Communication Servers Management
Cellular Data Carriers
Service and administration tools

Product Supply Chain

In order to maintain high product quality and control, as well as benefiting from cost savings, the Company is currently procuring all main hardware components offshore. Final assembly is locally performed in order to ensure product quality. Other main components are also procured directly from manufacturers or from local suppliers that outsource components office in order to keep the price as low as possible.

19

The Company is requesting the suppliers to perform a complete set of quality testing and minimum 24 hours’ burn-in before the product is delivered. The local hardware assembler and components supplier offers a 12-month warranty. The main hardware components offshore supplier offers a warranty plan of 15 months from the date the product is shipped. With an extended 90 days beyond the current warranty, such repair service would be paid by the supplier except for component replacement costs, which would be paid by DSG.

Another important activity related to the management of the product supply chain is working closely with the suppliers and ensuring that we have alternate sources for the main components and identify well in advance any components that may go “end-of-life” and find suitable replacements before product shortages may occur.

Inventory Control

The Company has implemented strict inventory management procedures that govern the inbound flow of products from suppliers, the outgoing flow to customers as well as the internal movement of inventory between warehouses (Canada, US and UK). There are also procedures in place to control the flow of equipment returning from customers for repairs and their replacements.

Installation

The Company is utilizing a small number of its own field engineers, geographically positioned to be in close proximity of areas with high concentrations of current and future customers. Occasionally, when new installations exceed the internal capacity, the company employs a number of external contractors, on a project-by-project basis. Each contractor has been trained extensively to perform product installations and the Company has created an extensive collection of Installation Manuals for all products and vehicle types.

The product was designed with ease of installation as one of its features. Additionally, the installation process includes a pre-shipping configuration process that prepares each device with all the settings and graphics content (if applicable) required for the specific location it will be deployed. This makes the installation process a lot simpler and less time consuming in the field which reduces costs (accommodations, food, travel) for internal staff as well as external contractor cost (less billable time).

Another benefit of the simplified installation procedure is increased scalability in anticipation of increased number of installs in the future by reducing the skill level and training time requirements for additional contractors.

Customer Service

The Company has deployed its Customer Service staff strategically, so it has at least one service representative active during business hours in North America, Europe and South Africa.

The Company is handling Customer Service directly in North America and UK, offering telephone and on-line support to end-customers. In other international markets, the first-line customer service is handled by local distributor’s staff while DSG is supplying training and more advanced support to the distributors.

For the management of the customer service activities, the Company is utilizing SalesForce.com CRM system which allows creating, updating, closing and escalation of service cases, including the issuance of RMA (Return Material Authorization) numbers for defective equipment. Using SalesForce.com also allows generation of management reports for service issues, customer satisfaction, and equipment failures in order to quickly identify trends, problem accounts or systemic issues.

In addition, DSG began offering the DSG Par 72 Service & Support Plan to guarantee service and support to client courses in the golf business, during fiscal 2016. This program for client courses which guarantees service and support programs within 24 hours of a problem arising.

Product Development and Engineering

The Company employs a team of software engineers in house to develop and maintain the main components of the server software and firmware.

All product development is derived from business needs assessment and customer requests.

The Product Manager is reviewing periodically the list of feature requests with the Sales, establishes priorities and updates the Product Roadmap.

The software engineers are also responsible for developing specialized tools and systems utilized increase efficiency in the operation of the Company. These projects include functionality such as: automated system monitoring, automatic service alerts, improved remote troubleshooting tools, cellular data monitoring and reporting. All these tools are critical in future ability to support more customers with less resources, streamline support, and improve internal efficiency.

All hardware development (electronics and mechanical) is generally outsourced, however small projects like mounting solutions or cabling are handled in house.

COVID-19

The recent outbreak of the coronavirus, also known as “COVID-19”, has spread across the globe and is impacting worldwide economic activity. Conditions surrounding the coronavirus continue to rapidly evolve and government authorities have implemented emergency measures to mitigate the spread of the virus. The outbreak and the related mitigation measures may have an adverse impact on global economic conditions as well as on the Company’s business activities. The extent to which the coronavirus may impact the Company’s business activities will depend on future developments, such as the ultimate geographic spread of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, travel restrictions, business disruptions, and the effectiveness of actions taken in Canada and other countries to contain and treat the disease. These events are highly uncertain and as such, the Company cannot determine their financial impact at this time. While certain restrictions are presently in the process of being relaxed, it is unclear when the world will return to the previous normal, if ever. This may adversely impact the expected implementation of the Company’s plans moving forward. The Company has seen a decline in its revenues for the nine months ending September 30, 2020 of approximately 41.8%, largely as a result of the challenges related to COVID-19.

Boreal Productions Inc. (the Company) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on September 24, 2007. Andrea Fehsenfeld was then appointed sole officer and director. The Company was formed to option feature films and TV projects and then package them to sell at a profit to various studios and production companies.Technology Overview

 

AtDSG produces a “modular” suite of products to provide fleet management solution for any vehicle required for a golf operation and provides two golfer information display options to meet the operators budget requirements. DSG believes that timeit is currently the board of directors voted to seek capital and begin development of our business plan. We received our initial funding of $9,000 throughonly company in the sale of common stock to Ms. Fehsenfeld who purchased 3,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.003 per share and $45,000 from the sale of 3,000,000 shares of common stock issued to 30 un-affiliated investors at $0.015 per share. On June 11, 2008, we effected a five for one forward stock split of our authorized and issued and outstanding common stock. As a result, our authorized capital increased from 75,000,000 to 375,000,000 shares of common stock and our outstanding share capital increased from 6,000,000 shares of common stock to 30,000,000 shares of common stock.

We have not achieved revenues and have accrued a Net Loss of $153,964 since inception through May 6, 2015, the date of the reverse merger. We have been issued a going concern opinion by our auditors and rely upon the sale of our securities to fund operations. To date we have been unable to raise sufficient capital to finance the production of any film or television production and, consequently, ourgolf fleet management has sought alternative strategies, such as business combinations or acquisitions, to create value for our shareholders.

On April 13, 2015, we entered into a share exchange agreementindustry with DSG TAG and the shareholders of DSG TAG who become parties to the share exchange agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the share exchange agreement, we agreed to acquire not less than 75% and up to 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of DSG TAG’s common stock in exchange for the issuance by our company of up to 20,000,000 shares of our common stock to the shareholders of DSG TAG on the basis of one of our common shares for 5.4935 common shares of DSG TAG.

Previously, in anticipation of the share exchange agreement with DSG TAG, we undertook to change our name and effect a reverse stock split of our authorized and issued common stock. Accordingly, on January 19, 2015, our board of directors approved an agreement and plan of merger to merge with our wholly-owned subsidiary DSG Global Inc., a Nevada corporation, to effect a name change from Boreal Productions Inc. to DSG Global Inc. Our company remains the surviving company. DSG Global Inc. was formed solely for the change of name.

Also on January 19, 2015, our company’s board of directors approved a resolution to effect a reverse stock split of our authorized and issued and outstanding shares of common stock on a three (3) old for one (1) new basis. Upon effect of the reverse split, our authorized capital will decrease from 375,000,000 shares of common stock to 125,000,000 shares of common stock and correspondingly, our issued and outstanding shares of common stock will decrease from 30,000,000 to 10,000,000 shares of common stock, all with a par value of $0.001.

Articles of Merger to effect the merger and change of name and a Certificate of Change to effect the reverse stock split were filed with the Nevada Secretary of State on January 22, 2015, with an effective date of February 2, 2015. The name change and forward split were reviewed by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) were approved for filing with an effective date of February 23, 2015.these capabilities.

 

The name change became effectiveVTS TAG System is designed from the ground up to be a golf/turf vehicle fleet management system. Its main function is addressing the golf course operator needs. While employing same core technology (cellular wireless and GPS) as traditional commercial vehicle fleet management systems, DSG has created patent pending solutions to adapt it to the very specific requirements of the golf environment. Compared to mainstream fleet tracking products, DSG collects 10 to 50 times more data points per MB (megabyte) of cellular data due to its proprietary data collection and compression algorithms. Also the relative positioning accuracy is improved by almost one order of magnitude by the use of application-specific geo-data validation and correction methods.

DSG’s proprietary methods make it possible to offer a solution suitable for use on golf courses at a price low enough to be affordable in the industry. Every system component incorporates state-of-the-art technology (server, mobile trackers, display). In developing its products VTS TAG Systems has adopted an application-oriented approach placing the most emphasis (and research & development) on server and end-user software by taking advantage of the commodity level reached by mainstream technologies such as Global Positioning (GPS) and M2M (Machine to Machine) Cellular Data in the wider context of Commercial Fleet Management.

DSG leveraged the existence of an abundance of very cost-effective telematics solutions by selecting an “off-the-shelf” hardware platform that meets all the main performance and environmental requirements for operation in the harsh, outdoor golf course environment. While removing all risk and cost associated with developing a proprietary hardware platform, DSG has maintained the unique nature of its hardware solution by developing a set of proprietary adapters and interfaces specifically for the golf application.

DSG has secured an exclusive supply agreement with the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Boardthird-party hardware manufacturers for the vertical of golf industry. Additionally, DSG owns the design of all proprietary adapters and OTC Markets quotation system atinterfaces. This removes the openingrisk of tradinga potential competitor utilizing the same hardware platform. Competitors could attempt to reverse engineer or copycat the TAG technology and equipment. This risk factor is mitigated by the fact that our product does not rely on February 23, 2015 under the symbol “BRPOD”. Effective March 19, 2015 our stock symbol changeda particular technology or hardware platform to “DSGT”. Our new CUSIP number following the symbol changebe successful but on a very specific vertical software application that is 23340C104. The first trade of our common shares occurred on March 25, 2015.far more difficult to copy (and respectively easier to protect).

FollowingThe web-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model used by VTS TAG System is optimal for low operating and support costs and rapid-cycle release for software updates. It is also a major factor in eliminating or substantially reducing the initial closingneed for any end-user premises equipment. Customers have access to the service through any internet connected computer or mobile device, there is no need for a local wireless network on the facility and installation time and cost are minimal.

DSG is positioned to take advantage of mainstream technology and utilize “best of breed” hardware platforms to create new generations of products. Our software is designed to be “portable” to future new platforms with better GPS and wireless technology in order to maintain the Company competitive edge.

All new product development effort of DSG is following the same model: select the best of breed third-party hardware platform, design and produce custom proprietary accessories while focusing the bulk of the share exchange agreement and through October 22, 2015, we acquired an additional 101,200 sharesdevelopment efforts on vertical software application to address a very specific set of common stock of DSG TAG from shareholders who became parties to the share exchange agreement and issued to these shareholders an aggregate of 18,422 pre-reverse split shares of our common stock. Following completion of these additional purchases, DSG Global Inc. owns 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of DSG TAG.end-customer needs.

TAG TURF/ECO TAG

The TAG Turf and the new ECO TAG were developed to give course operators the same back end management features for their turf equipment and utility vehicles. Turf equipment is expensive, and a single piece can run over $100,000 and represents a large portion of a golf course operating budget. The TAG Turf and ECO TAG have comprehensive reporting that the operator can utilize to implement programs that can increase efficiencies, reduce labor costs, help lower idle times, provide fuel consumption and equipment performance, provide historical data on cutting patterns, and reduce pollution from emissions by monitoring idle times. Since the golf course needs to be maintained regardless of volume these cost saving measures directly impact the operator’s bottom line.

International Sales

DSG focuses on select global golf markets that offer significant volume opportunities and that value the benefits that our products deliver.

We utilize strategic distributor partnerships in each targeted region/country to sell, install and service our products. Distributors are selected based on market strength, market share, technical and selling capability, and overall reputation. We believe that DSG solutions appeal to all distributors because they are universal and fit any make or model of vehicle. We maintain and leverage our strong relationship with Yamaha, E-Z-GO and Ransomes Jacobsen (sister company to E-Z-GO) in developing our distributor network around the world. Today, many of our distributor partners are the leading distributors for E-Z-GO and RJ and hold a dominant position in their respective markets. While they are Yamaha or E-Z-GO distributors, most sell DSG products to all courses regardless of their choice of golf car as a value add to their customers and to generate additional revenue. We complement this distributor base with independent distributors as needed to ensure we have sufficient coverage in critical markets.

Currently DSG is focused on expanding in Europe, Asia and South Africa. The Company plans to expand next into Australia, New Zealand and Latin America.

Management Companies

Many golf facilities are managed by management companies. The portfolios of these companies vary from a few to hundreds of golf courses. Troon®, the world’s largest player in golf course management, has over 200 courses under management. The management companies provide everything from branding, staffing, management systems, marketing, and procurement. DSG is currently providing products and services to Troon, OB Sports, Kemper Sports, Trump, Marriott Golf, Blue Green, Crown Golf, American Golf, Billy Casper, Club Corp, and Club Link.

DSG has been successful in completing installations and developing relationships with several of the key players who control a substantial number of courses. DSG will continue to implement system developments that are driven by the needs of these management companies such as combined reporting, multiple course access through a centralized dashboard. This development will become a competitive advantage for DSG in the management company market.

17

DSG has dedicated a team to create specific collateral for this market and has assigned a senior executive to have direct responsibility to manage these relationships.

Competition

We compete with a telecommunications providernumber of established producers and distributors of vehicle fleet management systems. Our competitors include producers of golf specific applications, such as GPS Industries, LLC., one of the leading suppliers of golf cart fleet management systems, as well as producers of non-golf specific utility vehicle fleet management systems, such as Toro. Many of our competitors have longer operating histories, better brand recognition and greater financial resources than we do. In order for us to successfully compete in our industry we must:

demonstrate our products’ competitive advantages;
develop a comprehensive marketing system; and
increase our financial resources.

However, there can be no assurance that even if we do these things, we will be able to compete effectively with the other companies in our industry.

We believe that we will be able to compete effectively in our industry because of the versatility, reliability, and relative affordability of our products when compared to those of our competitors. We will attempt to build awareness of our competitive advantages among existing and potential customers through trade shows, sales visits and demonstrations, online marketing, and positive word of mouth advertising.

However, as we are a newly established company relative to our competitors, we face the same problems as other new companies starting up in an industry, such as limited access to capital. Our competitors may be substantially larger and better funded than us, and have significantly longer histories of research, operation and development than us. In addition, they may be able to provide more competitive products than we can and generally be able to respond more quickly to new technologyor emerging technologies and changes in hardwarelegislation and wireless access through-outregulations relating to the world therefor allowing VTSindustry. Additionally, our competitors may devote greater resources to substantially reduce cellular cost.the development, promotion and sale of their products or services than we do. Increased competition could also result in loss of key personnel, reduced margins or loss of market share, any of which could harm our business.

 

Our primary competitor in the field of golf course fleet management is GPS Industries, a company that was founded in 1996 by our sole officer, founder and one of our directors, Mr. Bob Silzer. GPS Industries is currently the largest player in the marketplace with an installed base of approximately 750 golf courses worldwide. GPS Industries was consolidated by various mergers and acquisitions with a diversity of hardware platforms and application software. Since 2009, when GPS Industries has introduced their latest product offering called the Visage, in an exclusive partnership with Club Car, their strategy has been to target mostly their existing customers and motivate them into replacing their existing, older GPS system, with the Visage system.

GPS Industries is leveraging very heavily their partnership with Club Car, which is one of the three largest golf cart manufacturers in the world and at times is benefiting from golf operators’ preference for Club Car and their vehicles when they select their management system.

Market Mix

Since the introduction of the DSG product line, we have shown golf course operators that they have now access to a budget-friendly fleet management tool that works not only on golf carts but also with all other vehicles used on the golf course such as turf maintenance, shuttles, and other utility vehicles.

Marketing studies have identified that half of the golf course operators only need a fleet management system and only 15% need a high-end GPS golf system. This illustrates the strong competitive advantage that VTS TAG Systems has versus GPS Industries since their product can only address the needs of a relatively small fraction of the marketplace.

Consequently, GPS Industries’ installed base has steadily declined since most recentof their new product thatinstallations have replaced older product for existing customers and some customers have opted for a lower budget system and switched over to VTS TAG Systems.

Marketing Activities

The Company has a multi-layered approach marketing the TAG suite of products. One of the foundations of this plan is usedattending industry trade shows which are well attended by golf operators. The two largest shows are the PGA Merchandise Show and the Golf Industry Show which are held in Florida at the end of January. The Company also attends a number of regional shows around North America. International events are attended by our distributors and partners.

The second layer of marketing is memberships in key organizations such as the National Golf Course Owners Association, Golf Course Superintendents Association, and Club Managers Association of America. These are very influential in the industry and have marketing channels such as publications, email blasts, and web-based marketing. The Company also markets directly to increasecourse operators through email, surveys direct mail programs.

18

Lead Generation

One of the primary sources of lead generation is through the Company’s strategic partnerships with E-Z-GO, Yamaha, and Ransomes Jacobson. These relationships provide the Company with a great deal of market intelligence. The sales forces of the partners work in tandem with the DSG sales team by passing on the leads, creating joint proposals, and distributing TAG sales material. The Company has also created co-branded materials for specific value items of interest to operators such as Pace of Play on the course upsolutions. DSG sale s and marketing staff attend partner sales events to 90 minutes per round is the RAPTOR. Our 3 wheel single rider allows the course to revenue share with VTS as the RAPTOR is put on the course free of chargeconduct training and then allows the course to revenue share with VTS along the way. Each seat is rented to the customers for minimum $25 per round.discuss marketing strategies.

 

On March 26, 2019,The Company is in the process of testing an internal telemarketing program in several key markets to gauge whether this particular channel warrants larger scale implementation.

Competitive Advantages

Pricing

One of the “heroes” of the TAG System is providing the course operator a range of modular fleet management options that are very competitively priced. Pricing options range from the TURF, TAG, Infinity 7”, and Infinity XL 12” System, giving the customer a wide range of pricing options.

Functional advantages

DSG has the distinctive advantage of being able to offer a true fleet management system, encompassing all the vehicles on the golf course, not just the golf carts. Due to the modular nature of the system, customers have now the option to configure their system’s configuration to match exactly their needs and their budget.

Product advantages

DSG products are the robust, reliable, and user-friendly systems in the world. DSG is the only company currently providing systems that are waterproof with internal batteries to ensure our partners retain the full golf cart manufacturer’s warranty.

Operational Plan

Our Operations Department’s main functions are outlined below:

Product Supply Chain Management

Product procurement, lead-time management
Inventory Control

Customer Service

Training
Troubleshooting & Support
Hardware Repairs

Installations

Content & graphics procurement
System configurations
Shipping and Installation

Infrastructure Management

Communication Servers Management
Cellular Data Carriers

Product Supply Chain

In order to maintain high product quality and control, as well as benefiting from cost savings, the Company is currently procuring all main hardware components offshore. Final assembly is locally performed in order to ensure product quality. Other main components are also procured directly from manufacturers or from local suppliers that outsource components office in order to keep the price as low as possible.

19

The Company is requesting the suppliers to perform a complete set of quality testing and minimum 24 hours’ burn-in before the product is delivered. The local hardware assembler and components supplier offers a 12-month warranty. The main hardware components offshore supplier offers a warranty plan of 15 months from the date the product is shipped. With an extended 90 days beyond the current warranty, such repair service would be paid by the supplier except for component replacement costs, which would be paid by DSG.

Another important activity related to the management of the product supply chain is working closely with the suppliers and ensuring that we have alternate sources for the main components and identify well in advance any components that may go “end-of-life” and find suitable replacements before product shortages may occur.

Inventory Control

The Company has implemented strict inventory management procedures that govern the inbound flow of products from suppliers, the outgoing flow to customers as well as the internal movement of inventory between warehouses (Canada, US and UK). There are also procedures in place to control the flow of equipment returning from customers for repairs and their replacements.

Installation

The Company is utilizing a small number of its own field engineers, geographically positioned to be in close proximity of areas with high concentrations of current and future customers. Occasionally, when new installations exceed the internal capacity, the company effectedemploys a reverse stock splitnumber of our authorized and issued and outstanding shares of common stockexternal contractors, on a four thousand (4,000) oldproject-by-project basis. Each contractor has been trained extensively to perform product installations and the Company has created an extensive collection of Installation Manuals for all products and vehicle types.

The product was designed with ease of installation as one (1) new basis. Upon effectof its features. Additionally, the installation process includes a pre-shipping configuration process that prepares each device with all the settings and graphics content (if applicable) required for the specific location it will be deployed. This makes the installation process a lot simpler and less time consuming in the field which reduces costs (accommodations, food, travel) for internal staff as well as external contractor cost (less billable time).

Another benefit of the reverse split, our authorized capital decreased from 3,000,000,000 pre-reverse split sharessimplified installation procedure is increased scalability in anticipation of common stock to 750,000 sharesincreased number of common stockinstalls in the future by reducing the skill level and correspondingly, our issued and outstanding shares of common stock decreased from 2,761,333,254 pre-reverse split to 690,403 shares of common stock, all with a par value of $0.001. Our shares of Preferred Stock remain unchanged.training time requirements for additional contractors.

 

Customer Service

The Company has deployed its Customer Service staff strategically, so it has at least one service representative active during business hours in North America, Europe and South Africa.

The Company is handling Customer Service directly in North America and UK, offering telephone and on-line support to end-customers. In other international markets, the first-line customer service is handled by local distributor’s staff while DSG is supplying training and more advanced support to the distributors.

For the management of the customer service activities, the Company is utilizing SalesForce.com CRM system which allows creating, updating, closing and escalation of service cases, including the issuance of RMA (Return Material Authorization) numbers for defective equipment. Using SalesForce.com also allows generation of management reports for service issues, customer satisfaction, and equipment failures in order to quickly identify trends, problem accounts or systemic issues.

In addition, DSG began offering the DSG Par 72 Service & Support Plan to guarantee service and support to client courses in the golf business, during fiscal 2016. This program for client courses which guarantees service and support programs within 24 hours of a problem arising.

Product Development and Engineering

The Company employs a team of software engineers in house to develop and maintain the main components of the server software and firmware.

All product development is derived from business needs assessment and customer requests.

The Product Manager is reviewing periodically the list of feature requests with the Sales, establishes priorities and updates the Product Roadmap.

The software engineers are also responsible for developing specialized tools and systems utilized increase efficiency in the operation of the Company. These projects include functionality such as: automated system monitoring, automatic service alerts, improved remote troubleshooting tools, cellular data monitoring and reporting. All these tools are critical in future ability to support more customers with less resources, streamline support, and improve internal efficiency.

All hardware development (electronics and mechanical) is generally outsourced, however small projects like mounting solutions or cabling are handled in house.

COVID-19

The recent outbreak of the coronavirus, also known as “COVID-19”, has spread across the globe and is impacting worldwide economic activity. Conditions surrounding the coronavirus continue to rapidly evolve and government authorities have implemented emergency measures to mitigate the spread of the virus. The outbreak and the related mitigation measures may have an adverse impact on global economic conditions as well as on the Company’s business activities. The extent to which the coronavirus may impact the Company’s business activities will depend on future developments, such as the ultimate geographic spread of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, travel restrictions, business disruptions, and the effectiveness of actions taken in Canada and other countries to contain and treat the disease. These events are highly uncertain and as such, the Company cannot determine their financial impact at this time. While certain restrictions are presently in the process of being relaxed, it is unclear when the world will return to the previous normal, if ever. This may adversely impact the expected implementation of the Company’s plans moving forward. The Company has seen a decline in its revenues for the nine months ending September 30, 2020 of approximately 41.8%, largely as a result of the challenges related to COVID-19.

Products and Services

 

Technology Overview

DSG produces a “modular” suite of products to provide fleet management solution for any vehicle required for a golf operation and provides two golfer information display options to meet the operators budget requirements. DSG believes that it is currently the only company in the golf fleet management industry with these capabilities.

 

The VTS TAG System is designed from the ground up to be a golf/turf vehicle fleet management system. Its main function is addressing the golf course operator needs. While employing same core technology (cellular wireless and GPS) as traditional commercial vehicle fleet management systems, DSG has created patent pending solutions to adapt it to the very specific requirements of the golf environment. Compared to mainstream fleet tracking products, DSG collects 10 to 50 times more data points per MB (megabyte) of cellular data due to its proprietary data collection and compression algorithms. Also the relative positioning accuracy is improved by almost one order of magnitude by the use of application-specific geo-data validation and correction methods.

 

DSG’s proprietary methods make it possible to offer a solution suitable for use on golf courses at a price low enough to be affordable in the industry. Every system component incorporates state-of-the-art technology (server, mobile trackers, display). In developing its products VTS TAG Systems has adopted an application orientedapplication-oriented approach placing the most emphasis (and research & development) on server and end-user software by taking advantage of the commodity level reached by mainstream technologies such as Global Positioning (GPS) and M2M (Machine to Machine) Cellular Data in the wider context of Commercial Fleet Management.

 

DSG leveraged the existence of an abundance of very cost-effective telematics solutions by selecting an “off-the-shelf” hardware platform that meets all the main performance and environmental requirements for operation in the harsh, outdoor golf course environment. While removing all risk and cost associated with developing a proprietary hardware platform, DSG has maintained the unique nature of its hardware solution by developing a set of proprietary adapters and interfaces specifically for the golf application.

 

DSG has secured an exclusive supply agreement with the third-party hardware manufacturers for the vertical of golf industry. Additionally, DSG owns the design of all proprietary adapters and interfaces. This removes the risk of a potential competitor utilizing the same hardware platform. Competitors could attempt to reverse engineer or copycat the TAG technology and equipment. This risk factor is mitigated by the fact that our product does not rely on a particular technology or hardware platform to be successful but on a very specific vertical software application that is far more difficult to copy (and respectively easier to protect).

 

The application software contains patent features implemented in every core component of the system. The TAG device runs DSG proprietary firmware incorporating unique data collection and compression algorithms. The web server software which powers the end-user application is also proprietary and incorporates the industry knowledge accumulated through the over 70 years of collective experience of the DSG team.

 

This approach has given the product line a high level of endurance against technology obsolescence. At any point in time, if a hardware component is discontinued or a better/less expensive hardware platform becomes available, the software application can be easily adapted to operate on the new platform or with the new component. The company benefits from the constant increase of performance and cost reduction of mainstream hardware technology without any additional cost.

 

10

The web-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model used by VTS TAG System is optimal for low operating and support costs and rapid-cycle release for software updates. It is also a major factor in eliminating or substantially reducing the need for any end-user premises equipment. Customers have access to the service through any internet connected computer or mobile device, there is no need for a local wireless network on the facility and installation time and cost are minimal.

DSG is positioned to take advantage of mainstream technology and utilize “best of breed” hardware platforms to create new generations of products. Our software is designed to be “portable” to future new platforms with better GPS and wireless technology in order to maintain the Company competitive edge.

 

All new product development effort of DSG is following the same model: select the best of breed third-party hardware platform, design and produce custom proprietary accessories while focusing the bulk of the development efforts on vertical software application to address a very specific set of end-customer needs.

 

The latest addition to the TAG family of products, the TAG INFINITY is a perfect example of this development philosophy in action: the main component is a last-generation Android tablet PC wrapped in a custom designed outdoor enclosure containing the power supply and interface components required for the golf environment. The software application is taking advantage of all the advanced high-resolution graphics, touch user interface and computing power of the Android OS delivering a vastly superior user experience compared to competitive systems. The time to market for this product was 30% of how long it took to develop and launch this type of products in the past.

 

The TAG Control Unit

The company’s flagship product is the TAG Control unit. The TAG can operate as a “stand alone” unit or with one of two displays; the INFINITY 7” alphanumeric display or the INFINITY high definition “touch activated” screen. The TAG is GPS enabled and communicates with the TAG software using cellular GSM networks. Utilizing the cellular networks rather than erecting a local Wi-Fi network assures carrier grade uptime, and vehicle tracking “off- property”. GSM is the de facto global standard for mobile communications.

 

The TAG unit itself is discreetly installed usually in the nose of the vehicle to give the GPS clear line of site. It is then connected to the vehicle battery and ignition. The property is then mapped using the latest satellite imagery that is graphically enhanced and loaded into the TAG System as a map.

 

Once installed the vehicle owner utilizes the TAG software to locate the vehicle in real time using any computer, smartphone, or tablet that has an internet connection and perform various management operations.

 

The operator can use the geo-fencing capabilities to create “zones” on the property where they can control the vehicles behavior such as shutting down a vehicle that is entering a sensitive or dangerous area. The TAG System also monitors the strength of the vehicle’s battery helping to prevent sending out vehicles undercharged batteries which can be an inconvenience for the course and negatively impact the golfer experience.

PROGRAMMATIC Advertising Platform

A unique feature of the INFINITY XL 12” system is the advertising display capability. This can be used by the operator for internal promotion of services or for generating revenue by selling the ad real estate since the golf demographic is very desirable to advertisers. The INFINITY XL 12” displays banner, panel, full page, pro tip, and Green view ads. There is also ad real estate on the interactive feature screens for Food and Beverage ordering and the scorecard. The Infinity XL 12” System can also display animated GIF files or play video for added impact.

Advertising displayed in multiple formats including animated GIF and video

 

DSG has developed proprietary “Ad Manager” software which is used to place and change the ads on the system(s) from a central NOC (Network Operations Center) in real time. The Ad Manager can deploy to a single system or multiple systems. This creates a network of screens that is also very desirable to advertisers as ad content can be deployed locally, regionally, or nationally. The advertising platform is an important part of the company’s future marketing and sales strategy.

 

 

DSG R3 Advertising Platform

The DSG R3 program delivers advance ROI (Revenue Optimization Intelligence). Utilizing all streams of advertising delivery, such as automated, direct, and self-serve. The R3 program has the ability to deliver relevant advertising to golfers the moment they sit in the cart. The R3 model is more effective than the previous advertising model of ‘One to One’, these are local ads only sold through direct sales by courses, or 3rdparty advertising sales firms. The new R3 model offers ‘Many to one’ advertising options, delivering thousands of national, regional, and local advertisers an opportunity to advertise on our screens through our R3 Marketplace.

TAG TURF/ECO TAG

The TAG Turf and the new ECO TAG were developed to give course operators the same back end management features for their turf equipment and utility vehicles. Turf equipment is expensive, and a single piece can run over $100,000 and represents a large portion of a golf course operating budget. The TAG Turf and ECO TAG have comprehensive reporting that the operator can utilize to implement programs that can increase efficiencies, reduce labor costs, help lower idle times, provide fuel consumption and equipment performance, provide historical data on cutting patterns, and reduce pollution from emissions by monitoring idle times. Since the golf course needs to be maintained regardless of volume these cost saving measures directly impact the operator’s bottom line.

Revenue Model

DSG derives revenue from four different sources.

 

Systems Sales Revenue, which consists of the sales price paid by those customers who purchase our TAG system hardware lease our TAG system hardware.

 

Monthly Service Feesare paid by all customers for the wireless data fee charges required to operate the GPS tracking on the TAG systems.

 

Monthly Rental Feesare paid by those customers that rent the TAG system hardware. The amount of a customer’s monthly payment varies based on the type of equipment rented (a TAG, a TAG and INFINITY 7”, or a TAG and INFINITY XL 12”).

 

Programmatic Advertising Revenueis a new source of revenue that we believe has the potential to be strategic for us in the future. We are in the process of implementing and designing software to provide advertising and other media functionality on our INFINITY.

 

We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. In instances where final acceptance of the product is specified by the customer, revenue is deferred until all acceptance criteria have been met. We accrue for warranty costs, sales returns, and other allowances based on its historical experience.

 

Our revenue recognition policies are discussed in more detail under “Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.Statements.

Markets

 

Sales and Marketing Plan

The market for the TAG System is the worldwide golf cart and Turf equipment fleets. There are 40,000 golf courses around the world with North America being the largest individual market with 20,000. This represents over 3,000,000 vehicles. The golf market has five distinct types of operations. Municipal, Private Country Clubs, Destination Resorts, Public Commercial, Military and University affiliated. VTS has deployed and has case studies developed TAG systems in each of these categories.

 

Our marketing strategy is focused on building brand awareness, generating quality leads, and providing excellent customer service.

13

North America Sales

Since the largest market is North America the Company employs a direct sales team and sales agents that provide full sales coverage. Our sales agents are experienced golf industry professionals who maintain established relationships with the golf industry and carry multiple golf lines. Our sales objective is to offer our existing and prospective customers a dedicated, knowledgeable, and outstanding customer service team.

 

In addition, our team is dedicated to existing accounts that focus on up-selling and cross-selling additional products to our current customer base, securing renewal agreements, and providing excellent customer service. The current regions are:

 

Western Canada
  
Eastern Canada
  
Northeast USA
  
Western USA
  
Southeastern USA
  
Midwest USA

 

International Sales

DSG focuses on select global golf markets that offer significant volume opportunities and that value the benefits that our products deliver.

 

We utilize strategic distributor partnerships in each targeted region/country to sell, install and service our products. Distributors are selected based on market strength, market share, technical and selling capability, and overall reputation. We believe that DSG solutions appeal to all distributors because they are universal and fit any make or model of vehicle. We maintain and leverage our strong relationship with Yamaha, E-Z-GO and Ransomes Jacobsen (sister company to E-Z-GO) in developing our distributor network around the world. Today, many of our distributor partners are the leading distributors for E-Z-GO and RJ and hold a dominant position in their respective markets. While they are Yamaha or E-Z-GO distributors, most sell DSG products to all courses regardless of their choice of golf car as a value add to their customers and to generate additional revenue. We complement this distributor base with independent distributors as needed to ensure we have sufficient coverage in critical markets.

 

Currently DSG is focused on expanding in Europe, Asia and South Africa. The Company hasplans to expand next into Australia, New Zealand and Latin America.

 

Management Companies

Many golf facilities are managed by management companies. The portfolios of these companies vary from a few to hundreds of golf courses. Troon®, the world’s largest player in golf course management, has over 200 courses under management. The management companies provide everything from branding, staffing, management systems, marketing, and procurement. DSG is currently providing products and services to Troon, OB Sports, Kemper Sports, Trump, Marriott Golf, Blue Green, Crown Golf, American Golf, Billy Casper, Club Corp, and Club Link.

 

DSG has been successful in completing installations and developing relationships with several of the key players who control a substantial number of courses. DSG will continue to implement system developments that are driven by the needs of these management companies such as combined reporting, multiple course access through a centralized dashboard. This development will become a competitive advantage for DSG in the management company market.

 

17

DSG has dedicated a team to create specific collateral for this market and has assigned a senior executive to have direct responsibility to manage these relationships.

 

Competition

We compete with a number of established producers and distributors of vehicle fleet management systems. Our competitors include producers of golf specific applications, such as GPS Industries, LLC., one of the leading suppliers of golf cart fleet management systems, as well as producers of non-golf specific utility vehicle fleet management systems, such as Toro. Many of our competitors have longer operating histories, better brand recognition and greater financial resources than we do. In order for us to successfully compete in our industry we must:

 

 demonstrate our products’ competitive advantages;
   
 develop a comprehensive marketing system; and
   
 increase our financial resources.

 

14

However, there can be no assurance that even if we do these things, we will be able to compete effectively with the other companies in our industry.

 

We believe that we will be able to compete effectively in our industry because of the versatility, reliability, and relative affordability of our products when compared to those of our competitors. We will attempt to build awareness of our competitive advantages among existing and potential customers through trade shows, sales visits and demonstrations, online marketing, and positive word of mouth advertising.

 

However, as we are a newly-establishednewly established company relative to our competitors, we face the same problems as other new companies starting up in an industry, such as limited access to capital. Our competitors may be substantially larger and better funded than us, and have significantly longer histories of research, operation and development than us. In addition, they may be able to provide more competitive products than we can and generally be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in legislation and regulations relating to the industry. Additionally, our competitors may devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products or services than we do. Increased competition could also result in loss of key personnel, reduced margins or loss of market share, any of which could harm our business.

 

Our primary competitor in the field of golf course fleet management is GPS Industries, a company that was founded in 1996 by our sole officer, founder and one of our directors, Mr. Bob Silzer, the founder of VTS TAG Systems Inc.Silzer. GPS Industries is currently the largest player in the marketplace with an installed base of approximately 750 golf courses worldwide. GPS Industries was consolidated by various mergers and acquisitions with a diversity of hardware platforms and application software. Since 2009, when GPS Industries has introduced their latest product offering called the Visage, in an exclusive partnership with Club Car, their strategy has been to target mostly their existing customers and motivate them into replacing their existing, older GPS system, with the Visage system.

 

GPS Industries is leveraging very heavily their partnership with Club Car, which is one of the three largest golf carscart manufacturers in the world and at times is benefiting from golf operators’ preference for Club Car and their vehicles when they select their management system.

 

Market Mix

Since the introduction of the DSG product line, thewe have shown golf course operators realized that they have now access to a budget-friendly fleet management tool that works not only on golf carscarts but also with all other vehicles used on the golf course such as turf maintenance, shuttles, and other utility vehicles.

 

Marketing studies have identified that half of the golf course operators only need a fleet management system and only 15% need a high-end GPS golf system. This illustrates the strong competitive advantage that VTS TAG Systems has versus GPS Industries since their product can only address the needs of a relatively small fraction of the marketplace.

 

Consequently, GPS IndustriesIndustries’ installed base has steadily declined since most of their new product installations have replaced older product for existing customers and some customers have opted for a lower budget system and switched over to VTS TAG Systems.

 

Marketing Activities

 

The Company has a multi layeredmulti-layered approach marketing the TAG suite of products. One of the foundations of this plan is attending industry trade shows which are well attended by golf operators. The two largest shows are the PGA Merchandise Show and the Golf Industry Show which are held in Florida at the end of January. The Company also attends a number of regional shows around North America. International events are attended by our distributors and partners.

 

The second layer of marketing is memberships in key organizations such as the National Golf Course Owners Association, Golf Course Superintendents Association, and Club Managers Association of America. These are very influential in the industry and have marketing channels such as publications, email blasts, and web-based marketing. The Company also markets directly to course operators through email, surveys direct mail programs.

18

 

Lead Generation

 

One of the primary sources of lead generation is through the Company’s strategic partnerships with E-Z-GO, Yamaha, and Ransomes Jacobson. These relationships provide the Company with a great deal of market intelligence. The sales forces of the partners work in tandem with the DSG sales team by passing on the leads, creating joint proposals, and distributing TAG sales material. The Company has also created co-branded materials for specific value items of interest to operators such as Pace of Play solutions. DSG sale s and marketing staff attend partner sales events to conduct training and discuss marketing strategies.

 

15

The Company is in the process of testing an internal telemarketing program in several key markets to gauge whether this particular channel warrants larger scale implementation.

 

Competitive Advantages

Pricing

One of the “heroes” of the TAG System is providing the course operator a range of modular fleet management options that are very competitively priced. Pricing options range from the TURF, TAG, Infinity 7”, and Infinity XL 12” System, giving the customer a wide range of pricing options.

 

Functional advantages

DSG has the distinctive advantage of being able to offer a true fleet management system, encompassing all the vehicles on the golf course, not just the golf carts. Due to the modular nature of the system, customers have now the option to configure their system’s configuration to match exactly their needs and their budget.

 

Product advantages

DSG products are the robust, reliable, and user-friendly systems in the world. DSG is the only company currently providing systems that are waterproof with internal batteries to ensure our partners retain the full golf cart manufacturer’s warranty.

 

Operational Plan

Our Operations Department’s main functions are outlined below:

 

Product Supply Chain Management

 

Product procurement, lead-time management
Inventory Control

 

Customer Service

 

Training
Troubleshooting & Support
Hardware Repairs

 

Installations

 

Content & graphics procurement
System configurations
Shipping and Installation

 

Infrastructure Management

 

Communication Servers Management
Cellular Data Carriers
Service and administration tools

 

Product Supply Chain

 

In order to maintain high product quality and control, as well as benefiting from cost savings, the Company is currently procuring all main hardware components offshore. Final assembly is locally performed in order to ensure product quality. Other main components are also procured directly from manufacturers or from local suppliers that outsource components office in order to keep the price as low as possible.

 

19

The Company is requesting the suppliers to perform a complete set of quality testing and minimum 24 hours’ burn-in before the product is delivered. The local hardware assembler and components supplier offers 12 months’a 12-month warranty. The main hardware components offshore supplier offers a warranty plan of 15 months from the date the product is shipped. With an extended 90 days beyond the current warranty, such repair service would be paid by the supplier except for component replacement costs, which would be paid by DSG.

 

Another important activity related to the management of the product supply chain is working closely with the suppliers and ensuring that we have alternate sources for the main components and identify well in advance any components that may go “end-of-life” and find suitable replacements before product shortages may occur.

16

 

Inventory Control

 

The Company has implemented strict inventory management procedures that govern the inbound flow of products from suppliers, the outgoing flow to customers as well as the internal movement of inventory between warehouses (Canada, US and UK). There are also procedures in place to control the flow of equipment returning from customers for repairs and their replacements.

 

Installation

 

The Company is utilizing a small number of its own field engineers, geographically positioned to be in close proximity of areas with high concentrations of current and future customers. Occasionally, when new installations exceed the internal capacity, the company employs a number of external contractors, on a project by projectproject-by-project basis. Each contractor has been trained extensively to perform product installations and the Company has created an extensive collection of Installation Manuals for all products and vehicle types.

 

The product was designed with ease of installation as one of its features. Additionally, the installation process includes a pre-shipping configuration process that prepares each device with all the settings and graphics content (if applicable) required for the specific location it will be deployed. This makes the installation process a lot simpler and less time consuming in the field which reduces costs (accommodations, food, travel) for internal staff as well as external contractor cost (less billable time).

 

Another benefit of the simplified installation procedure is increased scalability in anticipation of increased number of installs in the future by reducing the skill level and training time requirements for additional contractors.

 

Customer Service

 

The Company has deployed its Customer Service staff strategically, so it has at least one service representative active during business hours in North America, Europe and South Africa.

 

The Company is handling Customer Service directly in North America and UK, offering telephone and on-line support to end-customers. In other international markets, the first-line customer service is handled by local distributor’s staff while DSG is supplying training and more advanced support to the distributors.

 

For the management of the customer service activities, the Company is utilizing SalesForce.com CRM system which allows creating, updating, closing and escalation of service cases, including the issuance of RMA (Return Material Authorization) numbers for defective equipment. Using SalesForce.com also allows generation of management reports for service issues, customer satisfaction, and equipment failures in order to quickly identify trends, problem accounts or systemic issues.

 

In addition, DSG began offering the DSG Par 72 Service & Support Plan to guarantee service and support to client courses in the golf business, during fiscal 2016. This program for client courses which guarantees service and support programs within 24 hours of a problem arising.

 

Product Development and Engineering

 

The Company employs a team of software engineers in house to develop and maintain the main components of the server software and firmware.

 

All product development is derived from business needs assessment and customer requests.

 

The Product Manager is reviewing periodically the list of feature requests with the Sales, establishes priorities and updates the Product Roadmap.

 

The software engineers are also responsible for developing specialized tools and systems utilized increase efficiency in the operation of the Company. These projects include functionality such as: automated system monitoring, automatic service alerts, improved remote troubleshooting tools, cellular data monitoring and reporting. All these tools are critical in future ability to support more customers with less resources, streamline support, and improve internal efficiency.

 

All hardware development (electronics and mechanical) is generally outsourced, however small projects like mounting solutions or cabling are handled in house.

GHS Equity Financing AgreementCOVID-19

The recent outbreak of the coronavirus, also known as “COVID-19”, has spread across the globe and Registration Rights Agreementis impacting worldwide economic activity. Conditions surrounding the coronavirus continue to rapidly evolve and government authorities have implemented emergency measures to mitigate the spread of the virus. The outbreak and the related mitigation measures may have an adverse impact on global economic conditions as well as on the Company’s business activities. The extent to which the coronavirus may impact the Company’s business activities will depend on future developments, such as the ultimate geographic spread of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, travel restrictions, business disruptions, and the effectiveness of actions taken in Canada and other countries to contain and treat the disease. These events are highly uncertain and as such, the Company cannot determine their financial impact at this time. While certain restrictions are presently in the process of being relaxed, it is unclear when the world will return to the previous normal, if ever. This may adversely impact the expected implementation of the Company’s plans moving forward. The Company has seen a decline in its revenues for the nine months ending September 30, 2020 of approximately 41.8%, largely as a result of the challenges related to COVID-19.

Company Organization

Boreal Productions Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on September 24, 2007. The Company was formed to option feature films and TV projects and then package them to sell at a profit to various studios and production companies.

On April 13, 2015, we entered into a share exchange agreement with DSG Tag Systems, Inc. (“DSG TAG”) and the shareholders of DSG TAG who become parties to the share exchange agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the share exchange agreement, we agreed to acquire not less than 75% and up to 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of DSG TAG’s common stock in exchange for the issuance by our company of up to 20,000,000 shares of our common stock to the shareholders of DSG TAG on the basis of one of our common shares for 5.4935 common shares of DSG TAG.

Previously, in anticipation of the share exchange agreement with DSG TAG, we undertook to change our name and effect a reverse stock split of our authorized and issued common stock. Accordingly, on January 19, 2015, our board of directors approved an agreement and plan of merger to merge with our wholly owned subsidiary DSG Global Inc., a Nevada corporation, to effect a name change from Boreal Productions Inc. to DSG Global Inc. Our company remains the surviving company. DSG Global Inc. was formed solely for the change of name.

Also on January 19, 2015, our company’s board of directors approved a resolution to effect a reverse stock split of our authorized and issued and outstanding shares of common stock on a three (3) for one (1) basis. Upon effect of the reverse split, our authorized capital decreased from 375,000,000 shares of common stock to 125,000,000 shares of common stock and correspondingly, our issued and outstanding shares of common stock decreased from 30,000,000 to 10,000,000 shares of common stock, all with a par value of $0.001.

Articles of Merger to effect the merger and change of name and a Certificate of Change to effect the reverse stock split were filed with the Nevada Secretary of State on January 22, 2015, with an effective date of February 2, 2015. The name change and forward split were reviewed by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) were approved for filing with an effective date of February 23, 2015.

The name change became effective with the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board and OTC Markets quotation system at the opening of trading on February 23, 2015 under the symbol “BRPOD”. Effective March 19, 2015 our stock symbol changed to “DSGT”. Our new CUSIP number following the symbol change is 23340C104. The first trade of our common shares occurred on March 25, 2015.

On May 6, 2015, we completed the acquisition of approximately 75% (82,435,748 common shares) of the issued and outstanding common shares of DSG TAG Systems as contemplated by the share exchange agreement by issuing 15,185,875 shares of our common stock to shareholders of DSG TAG Systems who became parties to the agreement. In addition, concurrent with the closing of the share exchange agreement, we issued an additional 179,823 shares of our common stock to Westergaard Holdings Ltd. in partial settlement of accrued interest on outstanding indebtedness of DSG TAG Systems.

Following the initial closing of the share exchange agreement and through October 22, 2015, we acquired an additional 101,200 shares of common stock of DSG TAG from shareholders who became parties to the share exchange agreement and issued to these shareholders an aggregate of 18,422 pre-reverse split shares of our common stock. Following completion of these additional purchases, DSG Global Inc. owns 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of DSG TAG.

The reverse acquisition was accounted for as a recapitalization effected by a share exchange, wherein DSG TAG Systems is considered the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes. The assets and liabilities of the acquired entity have been brought forward at their book value and no goodwill has been recognized. We adopted the business and operations of DSG TAG Systems upon the closing of the share exchange agreement.

Subsequent to the closing of the share exchange agreement with DSG TAG, we adopted the business and operations of DSG TAG.

DSG TAG was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on April 17, 2008 and extra provincially registered in British Columbia, Canada in 2008. In March 2011, DSG TAG formed DSG Tag Systems International, Ltd. in the United Kingdom (“DSG UK”). DSG UK is a wholly owned subsidiary of DSG TAG.

On March 26, 2019, we effected a reverse stock split of our authorized and issued and outstanding shares of common stock on a four thousand (4,000) for one (1) basis. Upon effect of the reverse split, our authorized capital decreased from 3,000,000,000 pre-reverse split shares of common stock to 750,000 shares of common stock and correspondingly, our issued and outstanding shares of common stock decreased from 2,761,333,254 pre-reverse split to 690,403 shares of common stock, all with a par value of $0.001.

RISK FACTORS

 

This investment has a high degree of risk. Before you invest you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and the other information in this prospectus. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, operating results and financial condition could be harmed, and the value of our stock could go down. This means you could lose all or a part of your investment.

Special Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

Some of the statements in this prospectus are “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements involve certain known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These factors include, among others, the factors set forth herein under “Risk Factors.” The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. We caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update and revise any forward-looking statements or to publicly announce the result of any revisions to any of the forward-looking statements in this document to reflect any future or developments. However, the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 is not available to us as a non- reporting issuer. Further, Section 27A(b)(2)(D) of the Securities Act and Section 21E(b)(2)(D) of the Securities Exchange Act expressly state that the safe harbor for forward looking statements does not apply to statements made in connection with an initial public offering.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMPANY

 

Our limited operating history may not serve as an adequate basis to judge our future prospects and results of operations.

 

DSG Global has a relatively limited operating history. Our limited operating history and the unpredictability of the wealth management industry make it difficult for investors to evaluate our business. An investor in our securities must consider the risks, uncertainties and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in rapidly evolving markets.

We will need additional financing to implement our business plan.

The Company will need additional financing to fully implement its business plan in a manner that not only continues to expand an already established direct-to-consumer approach, but also allows the Company to establish a stronger brand name in all the areas in which it operates. In particular, the Company will need additional financing to:

 

 Effectuate its business plan and further develop its product and service lines;
   
 Expand its facilities, human resources, and infrastructure; and
   
 Increase its marketing efforts and lead generation.

 

There are no assurances that additional financing will be available on favorable terms, or at all. If additional financing is not available, the Company will need to reduce, defer or cancel development programs, planned initiatives and overhead expenditures. The failure to adequately fund its capital requirements could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, the sale of additional equity securities to raise financing will result in additional dilution to the Company’s stockholders and incurring additional indebtedness could involve the imposition of covenants that restrict the Company’s operations.

 

Our products and services are subject to changes in applicable laws and regulations.

 

The Company’s business is particularly subject to changing federal and state laws and regulations related to the provision of financial services to consumers. The Company’s continued success depends in part on its ability to anticipate and respond to these changes, and the Company may not be able to respond in a timely or commercially appropriate manner. If the Company fails to adjust its products and services in response to changing legal and/or regulatory requirements, the ability to deliver its products and services may be hindered, which in turn could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We may continue to encounter substantial competition in our business.

 

The Company believes that existing and new competitors will continue to improve their products and services, as well as introduce new products and services with competitive price and performance characteristics. The Company expects that it must continue to innovate, and to invest in product development and productivity improvements, to compete effectively in the several markets in which the Company participates. The Company’s competitors could develop a more efficient product or service or undertake more aggressive and costly marketing campaigns than those implemented by the Company, which could adversely affect the Company’s marketing strategies and have an adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

23

Important factors affecting the Company’s current ability to compete successfully include:

 

 lead generation and marketing costs;
   
 service delivery protocols;
   
 branded name advertising; and
   
 product and service pricing.

 

In periods of reduced demand for the Company’s products and services, the Company can either choose to maintain market share by reducing product and service pricing to meet the competition, or maintain its product and service pricing, which would likely sacrifice market share. Sales and overall profitability may be reduced in either case. In addition, there can be no assurance that additional competitors will not enter the Company’s existing markets, or that the Company will be able to continue to compete successfully against its competition.

19

We may not successfully manage our growth.

 

Our success will depend upon the expansion of our operations and the effective management of our growth, which will place a significant strain on our management and on our administrative, operational and financial resources. To manage this growth, we must expand our facilities, augment our operational, financial and management systems, and hire and train additional qualified personnel. If we are unable to manage our growth effectively, our business would be harmed.

 

We rely on key executive officers, and their knowledge of our business and technical expertise would be difficult to replace.

We are highly dependent on our executive officers.officer. If one or more of the Company’s senior executivesexecutive or other key personnel are unable or unwilling to continue in their present positions, the Company may not be able to replace them easily or at all, and the Company’s business may be disrupted. Competition for senior management personnel is intense, the pool of qualified candidates is very limited, and we may not be able to retain the services of our senior executives or attract and retain high-quality senior executives in the future. Such failure could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may never pay dividends to our common stockholders.

The Company currently intends to retain its future earnings to support operations and to finance expansion; accordingly, the Company does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

The declaration, payment and amount of any future dividends on common stock will be at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors, and will depend upon, among other things, earnings, financial condition, capital requirements, level of indebtedness and other considerations the Board of Directors considers relevant. There is no assurance that future dividends will be paid on common stock or, if dividends are paid, the amount thereof.

Our common stock is quoted through the OTC Markets, which may have an unfavorable impact on our stock price and liquidity.

The Company’s common stock is quoted on the OTC Markets, which is a significantly more limited market than the New York Stock Exchange or NASDAQ. The trading volume may be limited by the fact that many major institutional investment funds, including mutual funds, follow a policy of not investing in OTC Markets stocks and certain major brokerage firms restrict their brokers from recommending OTC Markets stocks because they are considered speculative and volatile.

The trading volume of the Company’s common stock has been and may continue to be limited and sporadic. As a result, the quoted price for the Company’s common stock on the OTC Markets may not necessarily be a reliable indicator of its fair market value.

Additionally, the securities of small capitalization companies may trade less frequently and in more limited volume than those of more established companies. The market for small capitalization companies is generally volatile, with wide price fluctuations not necessarily related to the operating performance of such companies.

Our common stock is subject to price volatility unrelated to our operations.

The market price of the Company’s common stock could fluctuate substantially due to a variety of factors, including market perception of the Company’s ability to achieve its planned growth, operating results of the Company and of other companies in the same industry, trading volume in the Company’s common stock, changes in general conditions in the economy and the financial markets or other developments affecting the Company or its competitors.

Our common stock is classified as a “penny stock.”

Rule 3a51-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a minimum bid price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to a limited number of exceptions which are not available to us. It is likely that the Company’s common stock will be considered to be a penny stock for the immediately foreseeable future.

For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the penny stock rules require that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks and the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must obtain financial information and investment experience and objectives of the investor, make a reasonable determination that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person, and make a reasonable determination that that person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.

The broker or dealer must also provide disclosure to its customers, prior to executing trades, about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading, the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions.

20

Because of these regulations, broker-dealers may not wish to furnish the necessary paperwork and disclosures and/or may encounter difficulties in their attempt to buy or sell shares of the Company’s common stock, which may in turn affect the ability of Company stockholders to sell their shares.

Accordingly, the penny stock classification adversely affects any market liquidity for the Company’s common stock and subjects the shares to certain risks associated with trading in penny stocks. These risks include difficulty for investors in purchasing or disposing of shares, difficulty in obtaining accurate bid and ask quotations, difficulty in establishing the market value of the shares, and a lack of securities analyst coverage.

 

Because we may never earn revenues from our operations, our business may fail, and investors may lose all of their investment in our company.

 

In addition to other information in this current report, the following risk factors should be carefully considered in evaluating our business because such factors may have a significant impact on our business, operating results, liquidity and financial condition. As a result of the risk factors set forth below, actual results could differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, or that we currently consider to be immaterial, may also impact our business, operating results, liquidity and financial condition. If any such risks occur, our business, operating results, liquidity, and financial condition could be materially affected in an adverse manner. Under such circumstances, the trading price of our securities could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

 

We have limited revenues from operations. We have yet to generate positive earnings and there can be no assurance we will ever operate profitably. Our company has a limited operating history and has yet to launch its first commercial product. The success of our company is significantly dependent on uncertain events, with respect to supply chain, system development, and operation of the system on the scale we currently envision. If our business plan is not successful and we are not able to operate profitably, our stock may become worthless and investors may lose all of their investment in our Company. Should any of the following material risks occur, our business may experience catastrophic and unrecoverable losses, as said risks may harm our current business operations, as well as any future results of operations, resulting in the trading price of our common stock declining and a partial or complete loss of your investment. It is important to note these risks are not the only ones we face. Additional risks not presently known or that we currently consider to be immaterial may also impair our business operations and trading price of our common stock.

 

We may not achieve profitability or positive cash flow.

 

Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow will be dependent upon such factors as our ability to deliver quality risk management and custom app development services. Based upon current plans, we expect to incur operating losses in future periods because we expect to incur expenses that will exceed revenues for an unknown period of time. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in generating sufficient revenues to support operations in the future.

 

We have limited operating capital and we may have to seek additional financing.

 

If we are unable to fund our operations and, therefore, not be able to sustain future operations or support the manufacturing of additional systems, we may be required to delay, reduce and/or cease our operations and/or seek bankruptcy protection.

 

We cannot assure anyone with any degree of certainty that any necessary additional financing will be available on terms favorable to us, now or at any point in the future. It may be a significant challenge to raise additional funds and there can be no assurance as to the availability of additional financing or the terms upon which additional financing may be available. Even if we raise sufficient capital through additional equity or debt financings, strategic alternatives or otherwise, there can be no assurance the revenue or capital infusion will be sufficient to enable us to develop our business to a level where it will be profitable or generate positive cash flow.

 

24

If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders could be significantly diluted, and these newly issued securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing stockholders; and if we incur additional debt, a substantial portion of our operating cash flow may be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on such indebtedness, thus limiting funds available for our business activities. The terms of any debt securities issued could also impose significant restrictions on our operations.

 

If we and our suppliers cannot obtain financing under favorable terms, and our clients are not able to receive the requisite guarantees for payment to us, our business may be negatively impacted.

 

Markets for stock are highly volatile.

As a result of market volatility in the U.S. and in international stock markets since 2008, a high degree of uncertainty has been seen in the markets, which may result in an increase in the return required by investors, with respect to their expectations for the financing of our projects. Current and ongoing global conditions could lead to an extended recession in the U.S. and around the world. We currently have no revenue producing assets, which may have a materially adverse impact on our business and financial conditions and results, which places our investors at risk.

21

Capital and credit markets continue to be unpredictable and the availability of funds from those markets is extremely uncertain. Further, arising from concerns about the stability of financial markets generally and the solvency of borrowers specifically, the cost of accessing the credit markets has increased as many lenders have raised interest rates, enacted tighter lending standards or altogether ceased to provide funding to borrowers. Due to these capital and credit market conditions, we cannot be certain that funding will be available to us in amounts or on terms that we believe are acceptable.

The market price of our common stock may be adversely affected by market conditions affecting the stock markets in general, including price and trading fluctuations on OTC Markets. Market conditions may result in volatility in the level of, and fluctuations in, the market prices of stocks generally and, in turn, our common stock and sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the market, in each case being unrelated or disproportionate to changes in our operating performance.

The overall weakness in the economy has recently contributed to the extreme volatility of the markets which may have an effect on the market price of our common stock. Our stock price has been and could remain volatile, which could further adversely affect the market price of our stock, our ability to raise additional capital and/or cause us to be subject to securities class action litigation.

We may also be subject to additional securities class action litigation as a result of volatility in the price of our common stock, which could result in substantial costs and a significant diversion of management’s time and attention and intellectual and capital resources and could harm our stock price, business, prospects, and results of operations.

Sales of a significant number of shares of our common stock could depress the market price of our common stock, which could happen in the public market at any time. These sales, or the market perception that the holders of a large number of shares intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of our common stock. Should industry analysts choose not to publish, or any time discontinue reporting on us, our business or our market, or if they change their recommendations regarding our stock adversely, our stock price and trading volume could decline. Also, the trading market for our common stock will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts may publish about us, our business, our market or our competitors. If any of the analysts who may cover us change their recommendation regarding our stock adversely, or provide more favorable relative recommendations about our competitors, our stock price would likely decline.

We may become subject to litigation.

 

There is the potential that we could be party to disputes for which an adverse outcome could result in us incurring significant expenses, being liable for damages, and subject to indemnification claims. In connection with any disputes or litigation in which we are involved, we may be forced to incur costs and expenses in connection with defending ourselves or in connection with the payment of any settlement or judgment or compliance with any injunctions in connection, therewith, if there is an unfavorable outcome. The expense of defending litigation may be significant, as is the amount of time to resolve lawsuits unpredictable and defending ourselves may divert management’s attention from the day-to-day operations of our business, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows. Additionally, an unfavorable outcome in any such litigation could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

 

Product liability or defects could also negatively impact our results of operations. The risk of product liability claims and associated adverse publicity is possible in the development, manufacturing, marketing, and sale of our product offerings. Any liability for damages resulting from malfunctions or design defects could be substantial and could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

 

Also, a highly-publicizedhighly publicized problem, whether actual or perceived, could adversely affect the market’s perception of our product, resulting in a decline in demand for our product and could divert the attention of our management, having a materially adverse effect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

 

Our success depends on attracting and retaining key personnel.

 

Our future plans could be harmed if we are unable to attract or retain key personnel, and our future success will depend, in part, on our ability to attract and retain qualified management and technical personnel. Equally, our success depends on the ability of our management and employees to interpret market data correctly and to interpret and respond to economic market and other conditions in order to locate and adopt appropriate investment opportunities, monitor such investments, and ultimately, if required, to successfully divest such investments. Further, no assurance can be given that our key personnel will continue their association or employment with us or that replacement personnel with comparable skills can be found. We have sought to and will continue to ensure that management and any key employees are appropriately compensated, however, their services cannot be guaranteed. If we are unable to attract and retain key personnel, our business may be adversely affected.

 

We do not know whether we will be successful in hiring or retaining qualified personnel, and our inability to hire qualified personnel on a timely basis, or the departure of key employees, could materially and adversely affect our development and profitable commercialization plans, our business prospects, results of operations, and financial condition.

22

 

Should we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud, which could harm our brand and operating results. Our compliance with the annual internal control report requirement for each fiscal year will depend on the effectiveness of our financial reporting and data systems and controls. Inferior internal controls could cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our stock and our access to capital. In addition, our internal control systems rely on people trained in the execution of the controls. Loss of these people or our inability to replace them with similarly skilled and trained individuals or new processes in a timely manner could adversely impact our internal control mechanisms.

 

The requirements of being a public company may strain our resources, divert management’s attention and affect our ability to attract and retain qualified board members and officers. Compliance with these rules and regulations increase our legal and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming or costly and increase demand on our systems and resources.

 

Protecting our intellectual property is necessary to protect our brand.

 

We may not be able to protect important intellectual property and we could incur substantial costs defending against claims that our products infringe on the proprietary rights of others. Our ability to compete effectively will depend, in part, on our ability to protect our proprietary system-level technologies, systems designs, and manufacturing processes.

 

We will rely on patents, trademarks, and other policies and procedures related to confidentiality to protect our intellectual property. However, some of our intellectual property is not covered by any patent or patent application. We could incur substantial costs in prosecuting or defending patent infringement suits or otherwise protecting our intellectual property rights. While we have attempted to safeguard and maintain our proprietary rights, we do not know whether we have been or will be completely successful in doing so. Moreover, patent applications and enforcement, thereof, filed in foreign countries may be subject to laws, rules and procedures that are substantially different from those of the United States, and any resulting foreign patents may be difficult and expensive to enforce. We could incur substantial costs in prosecuting or defending trademark infringement suits.

25

 

Further, our competitors may independently develop or patent technologies or processes that are substantially equivalent or superior to ours. In the event we are found to be infringing third party patents, we could be required to pay substantial royalties and/or damages, and we do not know whether we will be able to obtain licenses to use such patents on acceptable terms, if at all.

 

Failure to obtain needed licenses could delay or prevent the development, manufacture, or sale of our products, and could necessitate the expenditure of significant resources to develop or acquire non-infringing intellectual property.

 

Asserting, defending and maintaining our intellectual property rights could be difficult and costly and failure to do so may diminish our ability to compete effectively and may harm our operating results. As a result, we may need to pursue legal action in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets and domain names, and to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. If third parties prepare and file applications for trademarks used or registered by us, we may oppose those applications and be required to participate in proceedings to determine the priority of rights to the trademark.

 

Similarly, competitors may have filed applications for patents, may have received patents and may obtain additional patents and proprietary rights relating to products or technology that block or compete with ours. We may have to participate in interference proceedings to determine the priority of invention and the right to a patent for the technology.

 

Confidentiality agreements to which we are party may be breached, and we may not have adequate remedies for any breach. Also, our trade secrets may also be known without breach of such agreements or may be independently developed by competitors. Inability to maintain the proprietary nature of our technology and processes could allow our competitors to limit or eliminate any competitive advantages we may have.

 

As part of our business strategy, we intend to consider acquisitions of companies, technologies and products that we believe could improve our ability to compete in our core markets or allow us to enter new markets. Acquisitions, involve numerous risks, any of which could harm our business, including, difficulty in integrating the technologies, products, operations and existing contracts of a target company and realizing the anticipated benefits of the combined businesses; difficulty in supporting and transitioning customers, if any, of the target company; inability to achieve anticipated synergies or increase the revenue and profit of the acquired business; potential disruption of our ongoing business and distraction of management; the price we pay or other resources that we devote may exceed the value we realize; or the value we could have realized if we had allocated the purchase price or other resources to another opportunity and inability to generate sufficient revenue to offset acquisition costs.

 

If we finance acquisitions by issuing equity securities, our existing stockholders may be diluted; and as a result, if we fail to properly evaluate acquisitions or investments, we may not achieve the anticipated benefits of any such acquisitions, and we may incur costs in excess of what we anticipate.

 

23

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has had, and is expected to continue to have, an adverse effect on our business and our financial results.

 

The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted consumer spending and global supply chains and created significant volatility and disruption of financial markets. The COVID-19 pandemic has had and is expected to continue to have an adverse effect on our business and financial performance. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including our ability to execute our business strategies as planned, will depend on future developments, including the duration and severity of the pandemic, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

 

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR COMMON STOCK

 

If we issue additional shares in the future our existing shareholders will experience dilution.

 

Our certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 125,000,000325,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001. Our board of directors may choose to issue some or all of such shares to acquire one or more businesses or to provide additional financing in the future. The issuance of any such shares will result in a reduction of the book value and market price of the outstanding shares of our common stock. If we issue any such additional shares, such issuance will cause a reduction in the proportionate ownership and voting power of all current shareholders. Further, such issuance may result in a change of control of our corporation.

 

Trading on the OTC Markets may be volatile and sporadic, which could depress the market price of our common stock and make it difficult for our stockholders to resell their shares.

 

Our common stock is quoted on OTC Markets. Trading in stock quoted on OTC Markets is often thin and characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices due to many factors that may have little to do with our operations or business prospects. This volatility could depress the market price of our common stock for reasons unrelated to operating performance. Moreover, OTC Markets is not a stock exchange, and trading of securities on the OTC Markets is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on a quotation system like NASDAQ or a stock exchange like the American Stock Exchange. Accordingly, our shareholders may have difficulty reselling any of their shares.

26

 

Our stock is a penny stock. Trading of our stock may be restricted by the SEC’s penny stock regulations and FINRA’s sales practice requirements, which may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

 

Our stock is a penny stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors”. The term “accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in, and limit the marketability of, our common stock.

 

FINRA sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

 

In addition to the “penny stock” rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (see above for a discussion of penny stock rules), FINRA rules require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

 

We may never pay dividends to our common stockholders.

The Company currently intends to retain its future earnings to support operations and to finance expansion; accordingly, the Company does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

The declaration, payment and amount of any future dividends on common stock will be at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors, and will depend upon, among other things, earnings, financial condition, capital requirements, level of indebtedness and other considerations the Board of Directors considers relevant. There is no assurance that future dividends will be paid on common stock or, if dividends are paid, the amount thereof.

Our common stock is quoted through the OTC Markets, which may have an unfavorable impact on our stock price and liquidity.

The Company’s common stock is quoted on the OTC Markets, which is a significantly more limited market than the New York Stock Exchange or NASDAQ. The trading volume may be limited by the fact that many major institutional investment funds, including mutual funds, follow a policy of not investing in OTC Markets stocks and certain major brokerage firms restrict their brokers from recommending OTC Markets stocks because they are considered speculative and volatile.

The market for small capitalization companies is generally volatile, with wide price fluctuations not necessarily related to the operating performance of such companies.

Our common stock is subject to price volatility unrelated to our operations.

The market price of the Company’s common stock could fluctuate substantially due to a variety of factors, including market perception of the Company’s ability to achieve its planned growth, operating results of the Company and of other companies in the same industry, trading volume in the Company’s common stock, changes in general conditions in the economy and the financial markets or other developments affecting the Company or its competitors.

Our common stock is classified as a “penny stock.”

Rule 3a51-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a minimum bid price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to a limited number of exceptions which are not available to us. It is likely that the Company’s common stock will be considered to be a penny stock for the immediately foreseeable future.

For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the penny stock rules require that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks and the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.

The broker or dealer must also provide disclosure to its customers, prior to executing trades, about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading, the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions.

Because of these regulations, broker-dealers may not wish to furnish the necessary paperwork and disclosures and/or may encounter difficulties in their attempt to buy or sell shares of the Company’s common stock, which may in turn affect the ability of Company stockholders to sell their shares.

Accordingly, the penny stock classification adversely affects any market liquidity for the Company’s common stock and subjects the shares to certain risks associated with trading in penny stocks. These risks include difficulty for investors in purchasing or disposing of shares, difficulty in obtaining accurate bid and ask quotations, difficulty in establishing the market value of the shares, and a lack of securities analyst coverage.

Markets for stock are highly volatile.

As a result of market volatility in the U.S. and in international stock markets since 2008, a high degree of uncertainty has been seen in the markets, which may result in an increase in the return required by investors, with respect to their expectations for the financing of our projects. Current and ongoing global conditions could lead to an extended recession in the U.S. and around the world. We currently have no revenue producing assets, which may have a materially adverse impact on our business and financial conditions and results, which places our investors at risk.

Capital and credit markets continue to be unpredictable and the availability of funds from those markets is extremely uncertain. Further, arising from concerns about the stability of financial markets generally and the solvency of borrowers specifically, the cost of accessing the credit markets has increased as many lenders have raised interest rates, enacted tighter lending standards or altogether ceased to provide funding to borrowers. Due to these capital and credit market conditions, we cannot be certain that funding will be available to us in amounts or on terms that we believe are acceptable.

The market price of our common stock may be adversely affected by market conditions affecting the stock markets in general, including price and trading fluctuations on OTC Markets. Market conditions may result in volatility in the level of, and fluctuations in, the market prices of stocks generally and, in turn, our common stock and sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the market, in each case being unrelated or disproportionate to changes in our operating performance.

The overall weakness in the economy has recently contributed to the extreme volatility of the markets which may have an effect on the market price of our common stock. Our stock price has been and could remain volatile, which could further adversely affect the market price of our stock, our ability to raise additional capital and/or cause us to be subject to securities class action litigation.

We may also be subject to additional securities class action litigation as a result of volatility in the price of our common stock, which could result in substantial costs and a significant diversion of management’s time and attention and intellectual and capital resources and could harm our stock price, business, prospects, and results of operations.

Sales of a significant number of shares of our common stock could depress the market price of our common stock, which could happen in the public market at any time. These sales, or the market perception that the holders of a large number of shares intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of our common stock. Should industry analysts choose not to publish, or any time discontinue reporting on us, our business or our market, or if they change their recommendations regarding our stock adversely, our stock price and trading volume could decline. Also, the trading market for our common stock will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts may publish about us, our business, our market or our competitors. If any of the analysts who may cover us change their recommendation regarding our stock adversely, or provide more favorable relative recommendations about our competitors, our stock price would likely decline.

RISKS RELATED TO THE OFFERING

 

Our existing stockholders may experience significant dilution from the sale of our common stock pursuant to the GHS FinancingSecurities Purchase Agreement.

 

The sale of our common stock to GHS Investments LLC in accordance with the FinancingSecurities Purchase Agreement may have a dilutive impact on our shareholders. As a result, the market price of our common stock could decline. In addition, the lower our stock price is at the time we exercise our put options,GHS converts their preferred shares, the more shares of our common stock we will have to issue to GHS in order to exercise a put under the Financing Agreement.GHS. If our stock price decreases, then our existing shareholders would experience greater dilution for any given dollar amount raised through the offering.

28

 

The perceived risk of dilution may cause our stockholders to sell their shares, which may cause a decline in the price of our common stock. Moreover, the perceived risk of dilution and the resulting downward pressure on our stock price could encourage investors to engage in short sales of our common stock. By increasing the number of shares offered for sale, material amounts of short selling could further contribute to progressive price declines in our common stock.

 

The issuance of shares pursuant to the GHS Financing Agreement may have a significant dilutive effect.

Depending on the number of shares we issue pursuant to the GHS Financing Agreement, it could have a significant dilutive effect upon our existing shareholders. Although the number of shares that we may issue pursuant to the Financing Agreement will vary based on our stock price (the higher our stock price, the less shares we have to issue), there may be a potential dilutive effect to our shareholders, based on different potential future stock prices, if the full amount of the Financing Agreement is realized. Dilution is based upon common stock put to GHS and the stock price discounted to GHS’s purchase price of 82% of the lowest trading price during the pricing period.

24

GHS Investments LLC will pay less than the then-prevailing market price of our common stock which could cause the price of our common stock to decline.

 

Our common stock to be issued underto GHS upon the GHS Financing Agreementconversion of their preferred stock will be purchased at a eighteenone hundred percent (18%) discount, or eighty percent (82%(100%) of the lowest trading price during the ten (10)fifteen (15) consecutive trading days immediately preceding our notice to GHS of our election to exercise our “put” right.conversion.

 

GHS has a financial incentive to sell our shares immediately upon receiving them to realize the profit between the discounted price and the market price.them. If GHS sells our shares, the price of our common stock may decrease. If our stock price decreases, GHS may have further incentive to sell such shares. Accordingly, the discounted sales price in the Financing Agreement may cause the price of our common stock to decline.

We may not have access to the full amount under the Financing Agreement.

On October 3, 2019, the lowest traded price of the Company’s common stock during the ten (10) consecutive trading day period immediately preceding the filing of this Registration Statement was $1.08. At that price we would be able to sell shares to GHS under the Financing Agreement at the discounted price of $0.886. At that discounted price, the 230,000 shares registered for issuance to GHS under the Financing Agreement would, if sold by us to GHS, result in aggregate proceeds of $203,780. There is no assurance the price of our common stock will remain the same as the market price or increase.

 

Unless an active trading market develops for our securities, investors may not be able to sell their shares.

 

We are a reporting company and our common shares are quoted on OTC Markets (OTC Pink) under the symbol “DSGT”. However, there is a very limited active trading market for our common stock; and an active trading market may never develop or, if it does develop, may not be maintained. Failure to develop or maintain an active trading market will have a generally negative effect on the price of our common stock, and you may be unable to sell your common stock or any attempted sale of such common stock may have the effect of lowering the market price, and therefore, your investment may be partially or completely lost.

 

Since our common stock is thinly traded it is more susceptible to extreme rises or declines in price, and you may not be able to sell your shares at or above the price paid.

 

Since our common stock is thinly traded its trading price is likely to be highly volatile and could be subject to extreme fluctuations in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including (but not necessarily limited to):

 

 the trading volume of our shares;
 the number of securities analysts, market-makers and brokers following our common stock;
 new products or services introduced or announced by us or our competitors;
 actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results;
 conditions or trends in our business industries;
 announcements by us of significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;
 additions or departures of key personnel;
 sales of our common stock; and
 general stock market price and volume fluctuations of publicly-traded, and particularly microcap, companies.

 

Investors may have difficulty reselling shares of our common stock, either at or above the price they paid for our stock, or even at fair market value. The stock markets often experience significant price and volume changes that are not related to the operating performance of individual companies, and because our common stock is thinly traded it is particularly susceptible to such changes. These broad market changes may cause the market price of our common stock to decline regardless of how well we perform as a company. In addition, there is a history of securities class action litigation following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities. Although there is no such litigation currently pending or threatened against us, such a suit against us could result in the incursion of substantial legal fees, potential liabilities and the diversion of management’s attention and resources from our business. Moreover, and as noted below, our shares are currently traded on the OTC Link (OTC Pink tier) and, further, are subject to the penny stock regulations. Price fluctuations in such shares are particularly volatile and subject to potential manipulation by market-makers, short-sellers and option traders.

THE OFFERING

 

On September 18, 2019,December 23, 2020, we entered into an Equity Financinga Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Financing“Securities Purchase Agreement”) with GHS Investments LLC (“GHS”). Although we are not mandated to sell shares underUnder the FinancingSecurities Purchase Agreement, the Financing Agreement gives us the optionCompany agrees to sell to GHS up to $7,000,000 worthshares of our common stock over the period ending forty-eight (48) months afterCompany’s Series F Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) at a price of $1,000 per share. Each share of Preferred Stock is convertible at the date this Registration Statement is deemed effective. The $7,000,000 was stated as the total amountvalue of available funding in the Financing Agreement because this was the maximum amount that GHS agreed to offer us in funding. There is no assurance$1,200 per share divided by one hundred percent (100%) of the market price of ourthe Company’s common stock, will increase in the future. The number of common shares that remain issuable may not be sufficient, dependent upon the share price, to allow us to access the full amount contemplated under the Financing Agreement. If the bid/ask spread remains the same, we will not be able to place a put for the full commitment under the Financing Agreement. Based onwhich equals the lowest traded price of ourthe Company’s common stock during the ten (10) consecutive trading day period preceding October 3, 2019 of $1.08, the registration statement covers the offer and possible sale of $203,780 worth of our shares.

The purchase price of the common stock will be set at eighty percent (82%) of the lowest trading price of the common stock during the ten (10)fifteen (15) consecutive trading day period immediately precedingprior to a conversion (the “Market Price”). As of the date of this registration statement, GHS has purchased 3,000 shares of Preferred Stock from the Company.

In conjunction with the Securities Purchase Agreement, on whichDecember 23, 2020, we issued a Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the “Warrant”) to GHS. Under the Warrant, GHS has to option to subscribe for and purchase from the Company delivers a put noticeup to GHS.3,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company. The exercise price per share of the common stock under the Warrant will be $0.50 per share. The Warrants expires five (5) years from the date of issuance, may be only be exercise by cash payment to the Company and have no cashless provision. In addition, there is anthe Preferred Stock and Warrants are subject to a beneficial ownership limitlimitation for GHS of 4.99%.

GHS is not permitted to engage in short sales involving our (in the aggregate) of all outstanding common stock during the termshares of the commitment period. In accordance with Regulation SHO, however, sales of our common stock by GHS after delivery of a put notice of such number of shares reasonably expected to be purchased by GHS under a put will not be deemed a short sale.

In addition, we must deliver the other required documents, instruments and writings required. GHS is not required to purchase the put shares unless:

Our registration statement with respect to the resale of the shares of common stock delivered in connection with the applicable put shall have been declared effective;
we shall have obtained all material permits and qualifications required by any applicable state for the offer and sale of the registrable securities; and
we shall have filed all requisite reports, notices, and other documents with the SEC in a timely manner.

As we draw down on the equity line of credit, shares of our common stock will be sold into the market by GHS. The sale of these shares could cause our stock price to decline. In turn, if our stock price declines and we issue more puts, more shares will come into the market, which could cause a further drop in our stock price. You should be aware that there is an inverse relationship between the market price of our common stock and the number of shares to be issued under the equity line of credit. If our stock price declines, we will be required to issue a greater number of shares under the equity line of credit. We have no obligation to utilize the full amount available under the equity line of credit.

Neither the Financing Agreement nor any of our rights or GHS’s rights thereunder may be assigned to any other person.Company.

Nevada Anti-Takeover Laws

 

As a Nevada corporation, we are subject to certain anti-takeover provisions that apply to public corporations under Nevada law. Pursuant to Section 607.0901 of the Nevada Business Corporation Act, or the Nevada Act, a publicly held Nevada corporation may not engage in a broad range of business combinations or other extraordinary corporate transactions with an interested shareholder without the approval of the holders of two-thirds of the voting shares of the corporation (excluding shares held by the interested shareholder), unless:

 

 the transaction is approved by a majority of disinterested directors before the shareholder becomes an interested shareholder;
 the interested shareholder has owned at least 80% of the corporation’s outstanding voting shares for at least five years preceding the announcement date of any such business combination;
 the interested shareholder is the beneficial owner of at least 90% of the outstanding voting shares of the corporation, exclusive of shares acquired directly from the corporation in a transaction not approved by a majority of the disinterested directors; or
 the consideration paid to the holders of the corporation’s voting stock is at least equal to certain fair price criteria.

 

An interested shareholder is defined as a person who, together with affiliates and associates, beneficially owns more than 10% of a corporation’s outstanding voting shares. We have not made an election in our amended Articles of Incorporation to opt out of Section 607.0901.

 

In addition, we are subject to Section 607.0902 of the Nevada Act which prohibits the voting of shares in a publicly held Nevada corporation that are acquired in a control share acquisition unless (i) our board of directors approved such acquisition prior to its consummation or (ii) after such acquisition, in lieu of prior approval by our board of directors, the holders of a majority of the corporation’s voting shares, exclusive of shares owned by officers of the corporation, employee directors or the acquiring party, approve the granting of voting rights as to the shares acquired in the control share acquisition. A control share acquisition is defined as an acquisition that immediately thereafter entitles the acquiring party to 20% or more of the total voting power in an election of directors.

 

Penny Stock Considerations

 

Our shares will be “penny stocks” as that term is generally defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to mean equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 per share. Thus, our shares will be subject to rules that impose sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who engage in certain transactions involving a penny stock. Under the penny stock regulations, a broker-dealer selling a penny stock to anyone other than an established customer must make a special suitability determination regarding the purchaser and must receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the sale, unless the broker-dealer is otherwise exempt.

 

In addition, under the penny stock regulations, the broker-dealer is required to:

 

 Deliver, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the penny stock market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt;
 Disclose commissions payable to the broker-dealer and our registered representatives and current bid and offer quotations for the securities;
 Send monthly statements disclosing recent price information pertaining to the penny stock held in a customer’s account, the account’s value, and information regarding the limited market in penny stocks; and
 Make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction, prior to conducting any penny stock transaction in the customer’s account.

 

Because of these regulations, broker-dealers may encounter difficulties in their attempt to sell shares of our common stock, which may affect the ability of selling shareholders or other holders to sell their shares in the secondary market, and have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market. These additional sales practice and disclosure requirements could impede the sale of our securities, if our securities become publicly traded. In addition, the liquidity for our securities may be decreased, with a corresponding decrease in the price of our securities. Our shares in all probability will be subject to such penny stock rules and our shareholders will, in all likelihood, find it difficult to sell their securities.

Item 11. INFORMATION WITH RESPECT TO THE REGISTRANTBUSINESS

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

DSG Global Inc. is a technology development company based in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada, engaged in the design, manufacture, and marketing of fleet management solutions for the golf industry, as well as commercial, government and military applications. Our principal activities are the sale and rental of GPS tracking devices and interfaces for golf vehicles, and related support services. We were founded by a group of individuals who have dedicated their careers to fleet management technologies and have been at the forefront of the industry’s most innovative developments, and our executive team has over 50 years of experience in the design and manufacture of wireless, GPS, and fleet tracking solutions. We have developed the TAG suite of products that we believe is the first completely modular fleet management solution for the golf industry. The TAG suite of products is currently sold and installed around the world in golf facilities and as commercial applications through a network of established distributors and partnerships with some of the most notable brands in fleet and equipment manufacture.

 

DSG stands for “Digital Security Guard”, which is our primary value statement giving fleet operator’s new capabilities to track and control their vehicles. We have developed a proprietary combination of hardware and software that is marketed around the world as the TAG system. We have primarily focused on the golf industry where the TAG system is deployed to help golf course operators manage their fleet of golf carts, turf equipment, and utility vehicles. We are a leader in the category of fleet management in the golf industry and were awarded “Best Technology of the Year” in 2010 by Boardroom magazine, a publication of the National Golf Course Owners Association. To date the TAG system is installed on over 8,000 vehicles and has been used to monitor over 6,000,000 rounds of golf.

 

The TAG system fills a void in the marketplace by offering a modular structure that allows the customer to customize their system to meet desired functionality and budget constraints. In addition to the core TAG system vehicle control functionality, which can operate independently, we offer two golfer information display systems — the alphanumeric INFINITY 7” and high definitionhigh-definition INFINITY XL 12” — providing the operator with two display options which is unique in the industry.

 

The primary market for our TAG system is the 40,000 golf operations worldwide. While the golf industry remains the primary focus of our sales and marketing efforts, we have completed several successful pilots of the TAG system in other markets such as agriculture and commercial fleet operations. With appropriate resources, we intend to expand our sales and marketing efforts into these new markets.

 

We have a direct sales force in North America, which comprises the most significant portion of the golf fleet market and have developed key relationships with distributors and golf equipment manufacturers such as E-Z-GO, Yamaha and Ransomes Jacobsen to help drive sales for the North American and worldwide markets.

 

In order to successfully deliver products, increase sales, and maintain customer satisfaction, we need to have a reliable supplier of our hardware units and components at competitive prices. Presently, we source our INFINITY XL 12” units from one supplier in China and our TAG units from one supplier in the United Kingdom. We have recently established a new relationship with a supplier for our INFINITY XL 12” units in China to provide us with higher quality, newer technology at competitive pricing. We are also exploring the opportunity of a partnership with a US manufacturer.

 

On April 13, 2015, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with DSG Tag Systems Inc., now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on April 17, 2008 and extra provincially registered in British Columbia, Canada in 2008. Subsequent to the closing of the share exchange agreement with DSG Tag Systems, Inc. (“DSG TAG”), we adopted the business and operations of DSG TAG. DSG TAG is now known as Vantage Tag Systems, Inc. (“VTS”). VTS focuses on the fleet management solution and GPS tracking systems for DSG.

On September 15, 2020, the Company incorporated Imperium Motor Corp. (“Imperium”), under the laws of the State of Nevada on September 10, 2020, for which it subscribed to all authorized capital stock, 100 shares of Preferred Class A Stock, at a price of $0.001 per share. Imperium is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

Competition

 

We compete with a number of established producers and distributors of vehicle fleet management systems, as well as producers of non-golf specific utility vehicle fleet management systems. Many of our competitors have longer operating histories, better brand recognition and greater financial resources than we do. In order for us to successfully compete in our industry we must demonstrate our products’ competitive advantages, develop a comprehensive marketing system, and increase our financial resources.

 

We believe that we will be able to compete effectively in our industry because of the versatility, reliability, and relative affordability of our products when compared to those of our competitors. We will attempt to build awareness of our competitive advantages among existing and potential customers through trade shows, sales visits and demonstrations, online marketing, and positive word of mouth advertising. However, there can be no assurance that even if we do these things, we will be able to compete effectively with the other companies in our industry.

Reverse Acquisition

 

DSG Global Inc. (formerly Boreal Productions Inc.) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on September 24, 2007. We were formed to option feature films and TV projects to be packaged and sold to movie studios and production companies.

 

In January 2015, we changed our name to DSG Global Inc. and effected a one-for-three reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock in anticipation of entering in a share exchange agreement with DSG TAG Systems, Inc., a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on April 17, 2008 and extra provincially registered in British Columbia, Canada in 2008.

 

On April 13, 2015, we entered into a share exchange agreement with DSG TAG Systems Inc. (“DSG Tag”) and the shareholders of DSG TAG who become parties to the agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the share exchange agreement, we agreed to acquire not less than 75% and up to 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares in the capital stock of DSG TAG in exchange for the issuance to the selling shareholders of up to 20,000,000 pre-reverse split shares of our common stock on the basis of 1 common share for 5.4935 common shares of DSG TAG.

 

33

On May 6, 2015, we completed the acquisition of approximately 75% (82,435,748 common shares) of the issued and outstanding common shares of DSG TAG as contemplated by the share exchange agreement by issuing 15,185,875 pre-reverse split shares of our common stock to shareholders of DSG TAG who became parties to the agreement. In addition, concurrent with the closing of the share exchange agreement, we issued an additional 179,823 pre-reverse split shares of our common stock to Westergaard Holdings Ltd. in partial settlement of accrued interest on outstanding indebtedness of DSG TAG.

38

 

Following the initial closing of the share exchange agreement and through October 22, 2015, we acquired an additional 101,200 shares of common stock of DSG TAG from shareholders who became parties to the share exchange agreement and issued to these shareholders an aggregate of 18,422 pre-reverse split shares of our common stock. Following completion of these additional purchases, DSG Global Inc. owns approximately 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of DSG TAG. An aggregate of 4,229,384 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of DSG TAG were exchanged for 51 Series B and 3,000,000 Series E preferred shares during the year ended December 31, 2018 by Westergaard Holdings Ltd., an affiliate of Keith Westergaard, a previous member of our board of directors which have not been issued as of December 31, 2018.

 

The reverse acquisition was accounted for as a recapitalization effected by a share exchange, wherein DSG TAG is considered the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes. The assets and liabilities of the acquired entity have been brought forward at their book value and no goodwill has been recognized. We adopted the business and operations of DSG TAG upon the closing of the share exchange agreement.

 

Factors Affecting Our Performance

 

We believe that the growth of our business and our future success depend on various opportunities, challenges and other factors, including the following:

 

Inventory Sourcing

 

In order to successfully deliver products, increase sales, and maintain customer satisfaction, we need to have a reliable supplier of our hardware units and components at competitive prices. Presently, we source our INFINITY XL 12” units from one supplier in China and our TAG units from one supplier in the United Kingdom. We have recently established a new relationship with a supplier for our INFINITY XL 12” units in China to provide us with higher quality, newer technology at competitive pricing.

 

In addition, DSG is currently in negotiations with a telecommunications provider to provide new technology in hardware and wireless access.

 

Competition

 

We compete with a number of established producers and distributors of vehicle fleet management systems, as well as producers of non-golf specific utility vehicle fleet management systems. Many of our competitors have longer operating histories, better brand recognition and greater financial resources than we do. In order for us to successfully compete in our industry we must demonstrate our products’ competitive advantages, develop a comprehensive marketing system, and increase our financial resources.

 

We believe that we will be able to compete effectively in our industry because of the versatility, reliability, and relative affordability of our products when compared to those of our competitors. We will attempt to build awareness of our competitive advantages among existing and potential customers through trade shows, sales visits and demonstrations, online marketing, and positive word of mouth advertising. However, there can be no assurance that even if we do these things, we will be able to compete effectively with the other companies in our industry.

 

Additional Capital

 

We require additional capital to continue to develop software and products, meet our contractual obligations, and execute our business plan. There can be no assurances that we will be able to raise additional capital on acceptable terms or at all, which would adversely affect our ability to achieve our business objectives.

 

Components of Our Results of Operations

 

Revenue

 

We derive revenue from four different sources, as follows:

 

Systems Sales Revenue, which consists of the sales price paid by those customers who purchase our TAG system hardware.

34

Monthly Service Feesare paid by all customers for the wireless data fee charges required to operate the GPS tracking on the TAG systems.

 

Monthly Rental Feesare paid by those customers that rent the TAG system hardware. The amount of a customer’s monthly payment varies based on the type of equipment rented (a TAG, a TAG and INFINITY 7”, or a TAG and INFINITY XL 12” ).

 

Advertising Revenueis a new source of revenue that we believe has the potential to be strategic for us in the future. We are in the process of implementing and designing software to provide advertising and other media functionality on our INFINITY XL 12” units.

39

 

We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. In instances where final acceptance of the product is specified by the customer, revenue is deferred until all acceptance criteria have been met. We accrue for warranty costs, sales returns, and other allowances based on its historical experience.

 

Our revenue recognition policies are discussed in more detail under “Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-K.Statements.

Prospective Capital Needs

We estimate our operating expenses and working capital requirements for the twelve-month period to be as follows:

Estimated Expenses for the Twelve-Month Period ending June 30, 2020
Management compensation $500,000 
Professional fees $150,000 
General and administrative $1,900,000 
Total $2,550,000 

As noted earlier, during the six months ended June 30, 2019, cash used in operations totaled $241,038. The relatively low level of cash used compared to our estimated working capital needs in the future was the result of an accumulation of vendor payables, customer receivables, and an increasing loan payable balance. We need to reduce the current level of payables in the near future to keep a good relationship with our vendors and expand our sales and service team to achieve our operational objectives. At present, our cash requirements for the next 12 months outweigh the funds available. Of the $2,550,000 that we require for the next 12 months, we had $39,021 in cash as of June 30, 2019 and a working capital deficit of $6,839,398. Our principal sources of liquidity are cash generated from product sales. In order to achieve sustained profitability and positive cash flows from operations, we will need to increase revenue and/Finance costs decreased by $338,999 or reduce operating expenses. Our ability to maintain, or increase, current revenue levels to achieve and sustain profitability will depend, in part, on demand for our products.

In order to improve our liquidity, we also plan to pursue additional equity financing from private investors or possibly a registered public offering. We do not currently have any definitive arrangements in place for the completion of any further private placement financings and there is no assurance that we will be successful in completing any further private placement financings. To help finance our day to day working capital needs, the founder and CEO of the company has made a total payment of $113,475 since late 2015. If we are unable to achieve the necessary additional financing, then we plan to reduce the amounts that we spend on our business activities and administrative expenses in order to be within the amount of capital resources obligations and execute our business plan. There can be no assurances that we will be able to raise additional capital on acceptable terms or at all, which would adversely affect our ability to achieve our business objectives.

Preferred Stock Redemption Obligations

46

 

Westergaard Holdings Ltd., an affiliate of Keith Westergaard, a member of our board of directors, owned 4,229,384 shares (the “Series A Shares”) of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of DSG TAG Systems. Pursuant to a Subscription / Debt Settlement Agreement dated September 26, 2014 between DSG TAG Systems and Westergaard Holdings, as amended on November 10, 2015, DSG TAG Systems has agreed that DSG Global, Inc. will complete financings for gross proceeds of at least $10 million and use a portion of the proceeds to redeem all of the Series A Shares at a price of $1.25 per share, as follows:

On or before August 1, 2016, we must complete a financing for gross proceeds of at least $2.5 million and use at least $1.125 million to redeem a minimum of 900,000 Series A Shares;
On or before September 1, 2016, we must complete an additional financing for gross proceeds of at least $2.5 million and use at least $1.125 million to redeem a minimum of 900,000 additional Series A Shares; and
On or before October 1, 2016, we must complete an additional financing for gross proceeds of at least $5.0 million and use at least $3.14 million to redeem the remaining 2,509,384 Series A Shares.

If we failed to satisfy the above described financing and share redemption schedule, we would have been in default of the Subscription and Debt Settlement Agreement which would entitle the holder of the Preferred Shares to convert the Series A Convertible Preferred Shares into common shares in the capital of DSG Global at the price of $1.25 per share.

As described in Note 11 of the consolidated financial statements, on August 27, 2018, pursuant to a debt exchange agreement, the Company exchanged all 4,229,384 issued and outstanding DSG TAG Series A Shares with a fair value of $5,873,481 ($7,627,303 CDN), for 51 and 3,000,000 shares of Series B and Series E preferred shares, respectively.

Prospective Capital Needs

 

We estimate our operating expenses and working capital requirements for the twelve-month period to be as follows:

 

Estimated Expenses for the Twelve-Month Period ending December 31, 2019
Management compensation $500,000 
Professional fees $150,000 
General and administrative $1,900,000 
Total $2,550,000 
Estimated Expenses for the Twelve-Month Period ending December 31, 2021
General and administrative $3,404,000 
Research and development  1,043,600 
Marketing  755,000 
Sales and dealer network  540,000 
Payroll overhead  1,259,000 
Service and maintenance  785,900 
Assembly facility  1,750,000 
Inventory  10,700,000 
Total $20,237,500 

 

During the year ended December 31, 2018,2020, cash used in operations totaled $1,421,237.$1,400,086. The relatively low level of cash used compared to our estimated working capital needs in the future was the result of an accumulation of vendor payables, customer receivables, and an increasing loan payable balance.some of which were settled with equity. We need to reduce the current level of payables in the near future to keepmaintain a good relationship with our vendors and expand our sales and service team to achieve our operational objectives. At present, our cash requirements for the next 12 months outweigh the funds available. Of the $2,550,000$20,237,500 that we require for the next 12 months, we had $5,059$1,372,016 in cash as of December 31, 2018,2020, and a working capital deficit of $6,687,807.$746,341. Our principal sources of liquidity are cash generated from product sales and debt financings. In order to achieve sustained profitability and positive cash flows from operations, we will need to increase revenue and/or reduce operating expenses. Our ability to maintain, or increase, current revenue levels to achieve and sustain profitability will depend, in part, on demand for our products.

47

 

In order to improve our liquidity, we also plan to pursue additional equity financing from private investors or possibly a registered public offering. We do not currently have any definitive arrangements in place for the completion of any further private placement financings and there is no assurance that we will be successful in completing any further private placement financings. To help finance our day to day working capital needs, the founder and CEO of the Company has made total payments of $113,475 since late 2015. If we are unable to achieve the necessary additional financing, then we plan to reduce the amounts that we spend on our business activities and administrative expenses in order to be within the amount of capital resources obligations and execute our business plan. There can be no assurances that we will be able to raise additional capital on acceptable terms or at all, which would adversely affect our ability to achieve our business objectives.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Contractual Obligations and Known Future Cash Requirements

 

Indemnification Agreements

 

In the ordinary course of business, we enter into agreements of varying scope and terms pursuant to which we agree to indemnify customers, vendors, lessors, business partners and other parties with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, losses arising out of breach of such agreements, services to be provided by us or from intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with directors and certain officers and employees that will require us, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors, officers or employees. No demands have been made upon us to provide indemnification under such agreements and there are no claims that we are aware of that could have a material effect on our consolidated balance sheet, consolidated statements of operations, consolidated statements of comprehensive loss or consolidated statements of cash flows.

 

Operating Leases

 

We currently lease our corporate headquarters in Surrey, British Columbia and a showroom office in Vacaville, California, under operating lease agreements that expire through to Mayon July 31, 2020.2023 and August 31, 2022, respectively. The terms of theboth lease agreements provide for rental payments on a graduated basis. We recognize rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease periods.

48

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of consolidated financial statements also requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses, and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ significantly from the estimates made by our management. To the extent that there are differences between our estimates and actual results, our future financial statements presentation, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows will be affected.

 

We believe that the assumptions and estimates associated with revenue recognition, derivative liabilities, foreign currency and foreign currency transactions and comprehensive loss have the greatest potential impact on our consolidated financial statements. Therefore, we consider these to be our critical accounting policies and estimates. For further information on all of our significant accounting policies, see the notes to our consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive revenue recognition standard that will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP and replace it with a principle-based approach for determining revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 will require that companies recognize revenue based on the value of transferred goods or services as they occur in the contract. The ASU also will require additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. ASU 2014-09 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted only in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods therein. Entities will be able to transition to the standard either retrospectively or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company adopted this ASU beginning on January 1, 2018 and used the modified retrospective method of adoption. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Applicable for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018:

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued ASUestablished Topic 842, Leases, by issuing Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02,“Leases (Topic 842).” This accounting standard seeks which requires lessors to increase transparencyclassify leases as a sales-type, direct financing, or operating lease and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balancerequires lessees to recognize leases on-balance sheet and disclosingdisclose key information about leasing arrangements. Current U.S. GAAP does not require lessees to recognize assets and liabilities arising from operating leases on the balance sheet. This standard also provides guidance from the lessees’ perspective on how to determine if a lease is an operating lease or a financing lease and the differences in accounting for each. In January 2018, the FASB issuedTopic 842 was subsequently amended by ASU No. 2018-01, which allowsLand Easement Practical Expedient for an entityTransition to elect an optional transition practical expedient for land easements that exist or expired before adoption of Topic 842. The adoption of this standard is required for interim842; ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases; and fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and it is required to be applied using the modified retrospective approach. ASU No. 2018-11, Targeted Improvements.

The Company will adopt thisadopted the new standard effective January 1, 2019 and is currently evaluatingelected to use the impact of the above standard on its consolidated financial statements.modified retrospective for transition. The Company expectselected the following practical expedients:

Transition method practical expedient – permits the Company to use the effective date as the date of initial application. Upon adoption, the Company did not have a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. Financial information and disclosures for periods before January 1, 2019 were not updated.
Package of practical expedients – permits the Company not to reassess under the new standard its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs. This allowed the Company to continue classifying its leases at transition in substantially the same manner.
Single component practical expedient – permits the Company to not separate lease and non-lease components of leases. Upon transition, rental income, expense reimbursement, and other were aggregated into a single line within rental and other revenues on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
Short-term lease practical expedient – permits the Company not to recognize leases with a term equal to or less than 12 months.

Lessee Accounting

The new standard requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases are classified as finance or operating at inception, with classification affecting the pattern and recording of expenses in the statement of operations. Upon transition the Company recognized lease assets and lease liabilities principally for its office lease. When measuring lease liabilities for leases that were classified as operating leases, the Company discounted lease payments using its incremental borrowing rate at January 1, 2019. The weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied was 11.98%. Refer to Notes 5 and 11.

49

Lessor Accounting

The new standard remained largely unchanged from that applied under previous GAAP. The majority of operating leases should remain classified as operating leases and should continue to recognize lease income on its consolidated balance sheets pursuanta generally straight-line basis over the lease term. The new standard made changes to its operating lease commitment, see Note 15lessor accounting guidance to align with lessee accounting guidance and Topic 606 Revenue Recognition.

In June 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Loss on financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology with the expected credit loss impairment model, which requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to estimate expected credit losses over the life of the instrument instead of only when losses are incurred. This standard applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost basis and investments in leases recognized by the lessor. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020 with no impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2017, the “FASB” issued ASU 2017-08 “Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20) – Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities” an amendment to shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount.

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11 “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liability from Equity (Topic 480), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) – (i) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features (ii) Replace of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments.” The amendments in (i) change the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features and to help clarify existing disclosure requirements. The amendments in (ii) characterize the indefinite deferral of certain provisions and do not have an accounting effect.

The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the above standards on its consolidated financial statements. Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Applicable for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020:

In August 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the guidance for convertible instruments and contract in an entity’s own equity by simplifying the accounting in order to reduce the unnecessarily complex and difficult nature of the guidance and its inconsistent application which has been the subject of a significant number of restatements. This standard applies to entities who issue convertible instruments and/or contracts in an entity’s own equity. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and should be adopted as of the beginning of its annual fiscal year.

The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the above standard on its consolidated financial statements. Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

1.been convicted in a criminal proceeding or been subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offences);

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

 

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our executive officers and directors and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission initial statements of beneficial ownership, reports of changes in ownership and annual reports concerning their ownership of our common stock and other equity securities, on Forms 3, 4 and 5 respectively. Executive officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required by the SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports that they file.

 

Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received by us, or written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that during fiscal year ended December 31, 2016,2019, all filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and greater than 10% percent beneficial owners were complied with.

 

Corporate Governance Guidelines, Code of Ethics, and Business Conduct

 

The Board has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines (the “Guidelines”) to assist it in the exercise of its responsibilities. These Guidelines reflect the Board’s commitment to monitor the effectiveness of policy and decision making both at the Board and at the management level, with a view to enhancing stockholder value over the long term.

 

We have adopted a written code of ethics and business conduct to provide guidance to all Company’s directors, officers and employees, for each employee, including our including the Company’s principal executive officer, principal accounting officer or controller or persons performing similar functions. The code of ethics is posted on our website at www.dsgtag.com. If we make certain amendments to or waivers of our code of ethics, we intend to satisfy the SEC disclosure requirements by promptly posting the amendment or waiver on our website.

 

Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert

 

Our board of directors has determined that it does not have a member of its audit committee that qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K, and is “independent” as the term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv) of Schedule 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

We believe that our board of directors is capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. We believe that retaining an independent director who would qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances given the early stages of our development and the fact that we have not generated any material revenues to date. In addition, we currently do not have nominating, compensation or audit committees or committees performing similar functions nor do we have a written nominating, compensation or audit committee charter. Our sole director does not believe that it is necessary to have such committees because believes the functions of such committees can be adequately performed by the sole member of our board of directors.

 

Code of Ethics

Our Board of Directors has not adopted a code of ethics due to the fact that we presently only have one director who also serves as the sole executive officer of the Company and the Board of Directors chose not to reduce to writing standards designed to deter wrongdoing and promote honest and ethical conduct. The Board of Directors believes that the Company’s small size and the limited number of personnel who are responsible for its operations make a formal Code of Ethics unnecessary. We anticipate that we will adopt a code of ethics when we increase either the number of our directors and officers or the number of our employees.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), requires officers, directors and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a class of our equity securities registered under the Exchange Act to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Based solely upon a review of Forms 3 and 4 and amendments thereto furnished to us during fiscal year 2011 and Forms 5 and amendments thereto furnished to us with respect to fiscal year 2011, or written representations that Form 5 was not required for fiscal year 2011, we believe that all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to each of our officers, directors and greater-than-ten percent stockholders were fulfilled in a timely manner. We have notified all known beneficial owners of more than 10% of our common stock of their requirement to file ownership reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Item 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

 

Pursuant to Section 607.0850 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, we have the power to indemnify any person made a party to any lawsuit by reason of being a director or officer of the Registrant, or serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Our Bylaws provide that the Registrant shall indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law.

 

With regard to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Corporation in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the common shares being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by a controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and will be governed by the final adjudication of such case.

DSG GLOBAL, INC.
NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 – ORGANIZATION

DSG Global, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on September 24, 2007.

The Company is a technology development company engaged in the design, manufacture, and marketing of fleet management solutions in the golf industry. The Company’s principal activities are the sale and rental of GPS tracking devices and interfaces for golf vehicles and related support services.

On April 13, 2015, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with Vantage Tag Systems Inc. (“VTS”) (formerly DSG Tag Systems Inc.), now wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on April 17, 2008 and extra provincially registered in British Columbia, Canada in 2008. In March 2011, VTS formed DSG Tag Systems International, Ltd. in the United Kingdom (“DSG UK”). DSG UK is a wholly owned subsidiary of VTS.

On March 26, 2019, the Company effected a reverse stock split of its shares of common stock on a four thousand (4,000) old for one (1) new basis. Upon effect of the reverse split, authorized capital decreased from 3,000,000,000 shares of common stock to 750,000 shares of common stock, with a par value of $0.001. Subsequently, on May 23, 2019, an increase in common shares to 150,000,000 was authorized, with a par value of $0.001. Shares of Preferred Stock remain unchanged. These consolidated financial statements give retroactive effect to such reverse stock split named above and all share and per share amounts have been adjusted accordingly, unless otherwise noted.

Note 2 – GOING CONCERN

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders and note holders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and ultimately the attainment of profitable operations. As at June 30, 2019, the Company has a working capital deficit of $6,839,345 and has an accumulated deficit of $42,334,607 since inception. Furthermore, the Company incurred a net loss of $279,786 and used $248,239 of cash flows for operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2019. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to U.S. GAAP rules and regulations for presentation of interim financial information. Therefore, the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. Current and future financial statements may not be directly comparable to the Company’s historical financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there have been no material changes in the information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of Management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, have been made. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019.

64

Principles of Consolidation

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DSG Global Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries VTS and DSG UK, collectively referred to as the Company. All material intercompany accounts, transactions and profits were eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements in the period they are determined. New estimates in the period relate to determining the Company’s estimated incremental borrowing rate in recognizing right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. Differences in the estimated incremental borrowing rate could result in materially different lease liabilities and right-of-use assets.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, established Topic 842, Leases, by issuing Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, which requires lessors to classify leases as a sales-type, direct financing, or operating lease and requires lessees to recognize leases on-balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Topic 842 was subsequently amended by ASU No. 2018-01, Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842; ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases; and ASU No. 2018-11, Targeted Improvements.

The Company adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2019 and elected the modified retrospective for the transition. The Company elected the following practical expedients:

Transition method practical expedient – permits the Company to use the effective date as the date of initial application. Upon adoption, the Company did not have a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. Financial information and disclosures for periods before January 1, 2019 were not updated.
Package of practical expedients – permits the Company not to reassess under the new standard its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs. This allowed the Company to continue classifying its leases at transition in substantially the same manner.
Single component practical expedient – permits the Company to not separate lease and non-lease components of leases. Upon transition, rental income, expense reimbursement, and other were aggregated into a single line within rental and other revenues on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
Short-term lease practical expedient �� permits the Company not to recognize leases with a term equal to or less than 12 months.

Lessee Accounting

The new standard requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases are classified as finance or operating at inception, with classification affecting the pattern and recording of expenses in the statement of operations. Upon transition the Company recognized lease assets and lease liabilities principally for its office lease. When measuring lease liabilities for leases that were classified as operating leases, the Company discounted lease payments using its incremental borrowing rate at January 1, 2019. The weighted-average incremental borrowing rate applied was 11.98%. Refer to Notes 5 and 11.

65

Reclassification

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations or cash flow.

Upon adoption of Topic 842, on January 1, 2019 the Company recognized right-of-use assets of $51,203 and lease liabilities of $47,118. The difference between the recorded operating lease assets and lease liabilities is mainly due to the reclassification of prepaid rent deposits. As of June 30, 2019, the lease had a remaining term of 0.92 years. Right-of-use assets have been included within fixed assets, net, and lease liabilities have been included in operating lease liability on the Company’s interim condensed consolidated balance sheet as follows:

Right-of-use asset June 30, 2019 
Right-of-use asset $51,203 
Depreciation  (18,072)
Total right-of-use asset $33,131 

Lease liability June 30, 2019 
Lease liability $47,118 
Lease payments  (18,741)
Interest  2,513 
Change in foreign exchange rate  1,805 
Total lease liability $32,695 

Current portion $32,695 
Long-term portion  - 
Total lease liability $32,695 

Operating lease liabilities are measured at the commencement date based on the present value of future lease payments. As the Company’s lease did not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The Company used a weighted average discount rate of 11.98% in determining its lease liabilities. The discount rate was derived from the Company’s assessment of current borrowings.

Right-of-use assets include any prepaid lease payments and exclude any lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease if it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.

Interest on operating lease liabilities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was $1,125 and $2,513, respectively. Total payments for principal and interest on operating lease liabilities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 were $9,288 and $18,741, respectively.

Note 15 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

As at June 30, 2019, the Company owed $216,579 ($283,632 CDN) (December 31, 2018 - $139,835 ($190,764 CDN)) to the President, CEO, and CFO of the Company for management fees and salaries, which has been recorded in trade and other payables. The amounts owed and owing are unsecured, non-interest bearing, and due on demand. During the six months ended June 30, 2019 the Company incurred $100,000 (2018 - $100,000) in salaries to the President, CEO, and CFO of the Company.

As at June 30, 2019, the Company owed $13,325 ($17,450 CDN) (December 31, 2018 - $12,791 ($17,450 CDN)) to a company controlled by the son of the President, CEO, and CFO of the Company for subcontractor services. The balance owing has been recorded in trade and other payables. The amount owing is unsecured, non-interest bearing, and due on demand.

Note 16 – COMMITMENTS

In the normal course of business, the Company indemnifies other parties, including customers, lessors, and parties to other transactions with the Company, with respect to certain matters. The Company has agreed to hold the other parties harmless against losses arising from a breach of representations or covenants, or out of intellectual property infringement or other claims made against certain parties. These agreements may limit the time within which an indemnification claim can be made and the amount of the claim. In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its officers and directors, and the Company’s bylaws contain similar indemnification obligations to the Company’s agents. It is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount under these indemnification agreements due to the Company’s limited history with prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Historically, payments made by the Company under these agreements have not had a material effect on the Company’s operating results, financial position, or cash flows.

Note 17 – CONTINGENCIES

On September 7, 2016, Chetu Inc. filed a Complaint for Damage in Florida to recover an unpaid invoice amount of $27,335 plus interest of $4,939. The invoice was not paid due to a service dispute. As at June 30, 2019, included in trade and other payables is $44,804 related to this unpaid invoice, interest and legal fees.

On May 24, 2017, the Company received a notice of default from Coastal Investment Partners LLC (“Coastal”), on three 8% convertible promissory notes issued by the Company in aggregate principal amount of $261,389 and commenced a lawsuit on June 12, 2017 in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York. Refer to Note 9. Coastal alleges that the Company failed to deliver shares of common stock underlying the Coastal notes, and thus giving rise to an event of default. Coastal seeks damages in excess of $250,000 for breach of contact damages, and legal fees incurred by Coastal with respect to the lawsuit. This action is still pending but management’s assessment is that an unfavorable outcome is not probable. As at June 30, 2019, the principal balance and accrued interest on this convertible note is included on the consolidated balance sheet under convertible notes payable.

On October 10, 2017, a vendor filed a complaint for breach of contract with Superior Court of the State of California. The complainant is alleging that it is contractually owed 462 shares of the Company’s common stock and is seeking damages of $270,000. In addition, a related vendor filed in the same filing a complaint for $72,000 as part of a consulting agreement the Company executed. No accrual has been recorded because the Company is of the opinion that no obligation exists since the vendors have not performed their contractual duties. The outcome of this breach is undecided and the company will defend its position if so required.

On April 9, 2018, the Company received a share-reserve increase letter from JSJ Investments Inc. (“JSJ”) pursuant to the terms of a 10% convertible promissory note issued to the Company in the principal amount of $135,000. On April 24, 2018, the Company received a notice of default from JSJ for failure to comply with the share-reserve increase and on April 30, 2018 demanded payment in full of the default amount totaling $172,845. On May 7, 2018, JSJ commenced a lawsuit in the United States District Court, District of Dallas County, Texas. JSJ alleges that the Company failed to comply with the share-reserve increase letter, thus giving rise to an event of default, and failed to pay the outstanding default amount due under the terms of the note. JSJ seeks damages in excess of $200,000 but not more than $1,000,000, which consists of the principal amount of the note, default interest, and legal fees incurred by JSJ with respect to the lawsuit. This action is still pending but as at June 30, 2019, JSJ has negotiated a reduced amount with a private investor. As at June 30, 2019, the principal balance and accrued interest on this convertible note is included on the consolidated balance sheet under convertible notes payable.

Note 18 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of DSG Global Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2018,2020 and 2019, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the yearyears then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018,2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the yearyears then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures including examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Emphasis of Matter

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that DSG Global Inc. will continue as a going concern.

These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

On April 13, 2015, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with DSG Tag Systems Inc. (“DSG”), now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on April 17, 2008 and extra provincially registered in British Columbia, Canada in 2008.

Note 2 – GOING CONCERN

 

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders and note holders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and ultimately the attainment of profitable operations.

The recent outbreak of the coronavirus, also known as “COVID-19”, has spread across the globe and is impacting worldwide economic activity. Conditions surrounding the coronavirus continue to rapidly evolve and government authorities have implemented emergency measures to mitigate the spread of the virus. The outbreak and the related mitigation measures may have an adverse impact on global economic conditions as well as on the Company’s business activities. The extent to which the coronavirus may impact the Company’s business activities will depend on future developments, such as the ultimate geographic spread of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, travel restrictions, business disruptions, and the effectiveness of actions taken in Canada and other countries to contain and treat the disease. These events are highly uncertain and as such, the Company cannot determine their financial impact at this time. While certain restrictions are presently in the process of being relaxed, it is unclear when the world will return to the previous normal, if ever. This may adversely impact the expected implementation of the Company’s plans moving forward. The Company has seen a decline in its revenues for the twelve months ending December 31, 2020 of approximately 35.7%, largely as a result of the challenges related to COVID-19.

As at December 31, 2018,2020, the Company has a working capital deficit of $6,687,807$746,341 and has an accumulated deficit of $42,054,821$51,310,040 since inception. Furthermore, the Company incurred a net loss of $9,825,404$6,177,099 and used $1,421,237$1,400,086 of cash flows for operating activities during the yeartwelve months ended December 31, 2018.2020. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These audited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Note 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and are expressed in U.S. dollars. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-ownedwholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Certain comparative information has been reclassified to conform with the financial statement presentation adopted in the current year.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DSG Global Inc. and its subsidiary DSG Tag Systems, Inc.VTS and its wholly owned subsidiarysubsidiaries DSG UK and Imperium, collectively referred to as the Company.“Company”. All material intercompany accounts, transactions and profits were eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

82

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to revenue recognition, the collectability of accounts receivable, valuation of inventory, useful lives and recoverability of long-lived assets, valuation of loans payable, fair value of convertible debentures, derivative liabilities, warranty reserves, stock-based compensation,the Company’s incremental borrowing rate, leases and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from those estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period they are determined.

 

The Company’s policy for equipment requires judgment in determining whether the present value of future expected economic benefits exceeds capitalized costs. The policy requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions about future economic benefits related to its operations. Estimates and assumptions may change if new information becomes available. If information becomes available suggesting that the recovery of capitalized cost is unlikely, the capitalized cost is written off to the consolidated statement of operations.

 

The assessment of whether the going concern assumption is appropriate requires management to take into account all available information about the future, which is at least, but is not limited to, 12 months from the end ofdate the reporting period.financial statements are issued. The Company is aware that material uncertainties related to events or conditions may cast significantsubstantial doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of DSG TAGVTS is inthe Canadian dollars.dollar. The functional currency of DSG UK is inthe British Pounds.pound. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets, liabilities, and items recorded in income arising from transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated at rates of exchange in effect at the date of the transaction. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income.

 

The accounts of DSG TAGVTS and DSG UK are translated to U.S. dollars using the current rate method. Accordingly, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the period-end exchange rate while revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates during the period. Related exchange gains and losses are included in a separate component of stockholders’ equity as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

 

66

Reportable Segment

 

The Company has one reportable segment. The Company’s activities are interrelated, and each activity is dependent upon and supportive of the other. Accordingly, all significant operating decisions are based on analysis of financial products provided as a single global business.

 

Revenue Recognition and Warranty Reserve

 

In May 2014, the FASBFinancial Account Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”). The Company adopted this standard on a modified retroactive basis on January 1, 2018. No financial statement impact occurred upon adoption.

 

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

 

Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”), became effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. The Company’s revenue recognition disclosure reflects its updated accounting policies that are affected by this new standard. The Company applied the “modified retrospective” transition method for open contracts for the implementation of Topic 606.Assales are and have been primarily from product sales, delivery and installation, and customer support services and the Company has no significant post-delivery obligations, this new standard did notresult in a material recognition of revenue on the Company’s accompanying consolidated financial statements for the cumulative impact of applying this new standard. The Company made no adjustments to its previously-reportedpreviously reported total revenues, as those periods continue to be presented in accordance with its historical accounting practices under Topic 605, Revenue Recognition.

 

The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product to a customer. Revenue is measured based on the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products.In instances where final acceptance of the product is specified by the customer, revenue is deferred until all acceptance criteria have been met. Revenues are recognized underTopic 606 in a manner that reasonably reflects the delivery of its products and services to customers in return for expected consideration and includes the following elements:

 

 executed contracts with the Company’s customers that it believes are legally enforceable;
 identification of performance obligations in the respective contract;
 determination of the transaction price for each performance obligation in the respective contract;
 allocation the transaction price to each performance obligation; and
 recognition of revenue only when the Company satisfies each performance obligation.

83

Performance Obligations and Signification Judgments

The Company’s revenue streams can be categorized into the following performance obligations and recognition patterns:

 

 1.Sale, delivery and installation of Tag, Text and Infinity products, along with digital mapping and customer training. The Company recognizes revenue at a point in time when final sign-off on the installation is obtained from the General Manager and/or Director of Golf.
 2.Provision of internet connectivity, regular software updates, software maintenance and basic customer support service. The Company recognizes revenue over time, evenly over the term of the service.
 3.Sale and delivery of Fairway Rider products. The Company recognizes revenue at a point in time when control transfers to the customer.

 

Transaction prices for performance obligations are explicitly outlined in relevant agreements, therefore, the Company does not believe that significant judgments are required with respect to the determination of the transaction price, including any variable consideration identified.

 

Warranty Reserve

 

The Company accruedaccrues for warranty costs, sales returns, and other allowances based on its historical experience. During the fiscal year endingyears ended December 31, 2018,2020 and 2019, the Company determined it no longer requireddid not provide a warranty reverse due to changes in the warranty policies on new products.for any of its products sold during those periods. The warranty reserve was $Nil and $165,523 as at December 31, 20182020 and 2017, respectively.2019.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development expenses include payroll, employee benefits, and other headcount-related expenses associated with product development. Research and development expenses also include third-party development and programming costs, localization costs incurred to translate software for international markets, and the amortization of purchased software code and services content. Such costs related to software development are included in research and development expense until the point that technological feasibility is reached. Research and development is expensed and is included in operating expenses.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. The asset and liability method provides that deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.

 

TheAs of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company hasdid not recordedhave any amounts recorded pertaining to uncertain tax positions. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in general and administrative expense. The Company did not incur any penalties or interest during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. On December 22, 2017, the U.S. enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“the Tax Act”) which significantly changed U.S. tax law. The Tax Act lowered the Company’s statutory federal income tax rate from a maximum of 39% to a rate of 21% effective January 1, 2018. The Company has deferred tax losses and assets and they were adjusted as a result of the change in tax law reducing the federal income tax rate. The Company’s tax years 2015 and forward remain open.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are cash, and trade receivables arising from its normal business activities. The Company places its cash in what it believes to be credit-worthy financial institutions. The Company has a diversified customer base, most of which are in Canada, United States and the United Kingdom. The Company controls credit risk related to trade receivables through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk, establishes an allowance, if required, for uncollectible accounts and, as a consequence, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowance is limited.

 

67

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company is subject to risks from, among other things, competition associated with the industry in general, other risks associated with financing, liquidity requirements, rapidly changing customer requirements, limited operating history, foreign currency exchange rates and the volatility of public markets.

 

Contingencies

 

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management and legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or un-asserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or un-asserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought.

 

If the assessment of a contingency indicates it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material would be disclosed. Loss contingencies considered to be remote by management are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantee would be disclosed.

 

84

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and equivalents include cash in hand and cash in demand deposits, certificates of deposit and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less. At December 31, 20182020 and 2017,2019, there were no uninsured balances for accounts in Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any risks on its cash in bank accounts. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company did not hold any cash equivalents.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

All accounts receivable under standard terms are due thirty (30) days from the date billed. If the funds are not received within thirty (30) days, the customer is contacted to arrange payment. The Company uses the allowance method to account for uncollectable accounts receivable. The allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $44,814 and $28,637, respectively.

 

Financing Receivables and Guarantees

 

The Company provides financing arrangements, including operating leases and financed service contracts for certain qualified customers. Lease receivables primarily represent sales-type and direct-financing leases. Leases typically have two- to three-year terms and are collateralized by a security interest in the underlying assets. The Company makes an allowance for uncollectible financing receivables based on a variety of factors, including the risk rating of the portfolio, macroeconomic conditions, historical experience, and other market factors. At December 31, 20182020 and 20172019 management determined that there was no allowance necessary. The Company also provides financing guarantees, which are generally for various third-party financing arrangements to channel partners and other customers. The Company could be called upon to make payment under these guarantees in the event of nonpayment to the third party. As at December 31, 2018,2020 and 2019, no financing receivables are outstanding.

Advertising Costs

 

The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred. Advertising and marketing costs were $404,391$2,043,735 and $581,653$73,281 for the years ended December 31, 20182020 and 2017,2019, respectively.

 

Inventory

 

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in-first-out basis for finished goods. Net realizable value is determined on the basis of anticipated sales proceeds less the estimated selling expenses. Management compares the cost of inventories with the net realizable value and an allowance is made to write down inventories to net realizable value, if lower. The inventory allowance as at December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $146,292 and $Nil, respectively.

 

Fixed Assets and Equipment on Lease

 

Fixed assets and equipment on lease are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Fixed assets and equipment on lease are depreciated using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term. The estimated useful lives of fixed assets are generally as follows:

 

Furniture and equipment5-years straight-line
Vehicles5-years straight-line
Computer equipment3-years straight-line
Equipment on lease5-years straight-line

 

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and are comprised of patents. The patents are amortized straight-line over the estimated useful life of 1720 years and are reviewed annually for impairment.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company reviews long-lived assets such as equipment, equipment on lease, and intangible assets with finite useful lives for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the total of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying value of the asset, a loss is recognized for the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the asset.

 

Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

 

For certain of the Company’sThe Company analyzes all financial instruments including cash, trade receivables, trade and other payables, accruedwith features of both liabilities and other short-term debt, the carrying amounts approximate their fair values due to their short maturities. equity under ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” and ASC Topic 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”.

ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:

 

8569

 

 

Level 1

Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2

Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

 

Level 3

 

Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, trade receivables, amounts due from and to related parties, trade and other payables, operating lease liabilities, convertible note payable to related party, loans payable, derivative liabilities and convertible notes payable.

Except for cash and derivative liabilities, the Company’s financial instruments’ carrying amounts, excluding any unamortized discounts, approximate their fair values due to their short term to maturity. The Company analyzes all financial instruments with featuresfair value of bothlong-term operating lease liabilities approximates their carrying value due to minimal changes in interest rates and equity under ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,”the Company’s credit risk since initial recognition. Cash and ASC Topic 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”.

The following table represents assets andderivative liabilities that are measured and recognized at fair value as of December 31, 2018,based on a recurring basis:

During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company recognized a gain on the change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $1,005,458 (2017 – loss of $824,986).periods presented.

 

Loss per Share

 

The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the consolidated statement of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. As at December 31, 2018,2020, the Company had 35,173,897 (201730,083,230 (2019146,259)13,287,548) potentially dilutive shares outstanding.

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

 

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair value of stock-based awards. This model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables. These subjective variables include but are not limited to the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense in the consolidated statement of operations over the requisite service period. As atDuring the years ended December 31, 2018,2020 and 2019 there was no stock-based compensation.

 

Leases

86

 

The Company accounts for leases in accordance with ASC 842 “Leases”.

Lessee Arrangements

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating and financing right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are included within fixed assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Right-of-use assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate, based on the information available at the commencement date, in determining the present value of future lease payments. Right-of-use assets include any prepaid lease payments and exclude any lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. Operating lease expenses are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, consisting of interest accrued on the lease liability and depreciation of the right-of-use asset. The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease if it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise that option.

Lessor Arrangements

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The Company then determines whether to classify the lease as a sales-type or direct financing lease. At commencement date, a lessor shall derecognize the underlying asset and recognize the net investment in the lease, selling profit or loss arising from the lease, and initial direct directs as an expense if the fair value of the underlying asset is different from it carrying amount. The lease receivable (or net investment in the lease) is included on the consolidated balance sheets. The lease receivable amount is recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term and the present value of the unguaranteed residual asset, except when the lease is a direct financing lease, whereby the net investment in the lease should be reduced by the amount of any selling profit. The unguaranteed residual asset is the amount the lessor expects to derive from the underlying asset following the end of the lease term. The Company uses the rate implicit in the lease agreement at the date of commencement, in determining the present value of the future lease payments and unguaranteed residual asset. Interest income is recognized over the term of the lease and lease payments are recognized against the lease receivable balance when received. Currently, the Company only has sales-type operating leases.

Reclassification

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations or cash flow.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive revenue recognition standard that will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP and replace it with a principle-based approach for determining revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 will require that companies recognize revenue based on the value of transferred goods or services as they occur in the contract. The ASU also will require additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. ASU 2014-09 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted only in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods therein. Entities will be able to transition to the standard either retrospectively or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company adopted this ASU beginning on January 1, 2018 and used the modified retrospective method of adoption. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Applicable for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018:

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued ASUestablished Topic 842, Leases, by issuing Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02,“Leases (Topic 842).” This accounting standard seeks which requires lessors to increase transparencyclassify leases as a sales-type, direct financing, or operating lease and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balancerequires lessees to recognize leases on-balance sheet and disclosingdisclose key information about leasing arrangements. Current U.S. GAAP does not require lessees to recognize assets and liabilities arising from operating leases on the balance sheet. This standard also provides guidance from the lessees’ perspective on how to determine if a lease is an operating lease or a financing lease and the differences in accounting for each. In January 2018, the FASB issuedTopic 842 was subsequently amended by ASU No. 2018-01, which allowsLand Easement Practical Expedient for an entityTransition to elect an optional transition practical expedient for land easements that exist or expired before adoption of Topic 842. The adoption of this standard is required for interim842; ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases; and fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and it is required to be applied using the modified retrospective approach.ASU No. 2018-11, Targeted Improvements.

The Company will adopt thisadopted the new standard effective January 1, 2019 and is currently evaluatingelected to use the impact of the above standard on its consolidated financial statements.modified retrospective for transition. The Company expectselected the following practical expedients:

Transition method practical expedient – permits the Company to use the effective date as the date of initial application. Upon adoption, the Company did not have a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. Financial information and disclosures for periods before January 1, 2019 were not updated.
Package of practical expedients – permits the Company not to reassess under the new standard its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs. This allowed the Company to continue classifying its leases at transition in substantially the same manner.
Single component practical expedient – permits the Company to not separate lease and non-lease components of leases. Upon transition, rental income, expense reimbursement, and other were aggregated into a single line within rental and other revenues on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
Short-term lease practical expedient – permits the Company not to recognize leases with a term equal to or less than 12 months.

Lessee Accounting

The new standard requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases are classified as finance or operating at inception, with classification affecting the pattern and recording of expenses in the statement of operations. Upon transition the Company recognized lease assets and lease liabilities principally for its office lease. When measuring lease liabilities for leases that were classified as operating leases, the Company discounted lease payments using its incremental borrowing rate at January 1, 2019. The weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied was 11.98%. Refer to Notes 5 and 11.

Lessor Accounting

The new standard remained largely unchanged from that applied under previous GAAP. The majority of operating leases should remain classified as operating leases and should continue to recognize lease income on its consolidated balance sheets pursuanta generally straight-line basis over the lease term. The new standard made changes to its operating lease commitment, see Note 15.lessor accounting guidance to align with lessee accounting guidance and Topic 606 Revenue Recognition.

 

In March 2017, the “FASB”June 2016, FASB issued ASU 2017-08 “2016-13, Receivables – Nonrefundable FeesMeasurement of Credit Loss on financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology with the expected credit loss impairment model, which requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20) – Premium Amortizationsupportable information to estimate expected credit losses over the life of the instrument instead of only when losses are incurred. This standard applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost basis and investments in leases recognized by the lessor. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 on Purchased Callable Debt Securities” an amendment to shortenJanuary 1, 2020 with no impact on the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount.consolidated financial statements.

 

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11 “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liability from Equity (Topic 480), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) – (i) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features (ii) Replace of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments.” The amendments in (i) change the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features and to help clarify existing disclosure requirements. The amendments in (ii) characterize the indefinite deferral of certain provisions and do not have an accounting effect.

The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the above standards on its consolidated financial statements. Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Reclassification and RestatementRecently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassifiedApplicable for consistency with the current period presentation. Certain prior year amounts have been restated, refer to Note 17.fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020:

 

In August 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the guidance for convertible instruments and contract in an entity’s own equity by simplifying the accounting in order to reduce the unnecessarily complex and difficult nature of the guidance and its inconsistent application which has been the subject of a significant number of restatements. This standard applies to entities who issue convertible instruments and/or contracts in an entity’s own equity. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and should be adopted as of the beginning of its annual fiscal year.

The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the above standard on its consolidated financial statements.

Lease receivables are measured at the commencement date based on the present value of future lease payments less the present value of the unguaranteed residual asset. The Company used the rate implicit in the rental revenue contracts to calculate the present value of future payments and unguaranteed residual asset at the date of commencement.

In accordance with the terms of the agreement, the Company recorded $45,856 in rental revenues related to the lease at the date of commencement and $30,000 in cost of goods sold.

On July 10, 2020, the Company entered into a lease agreement for retail, showroom and warehouse space in Fairfield, CA (the “Fairfield Lease”). Upon initial recognition of the lease, the Company recognized right-of-use assets of $164,114 and lease liabilities of $156,364. The difference between the recorded operating lease assets and lease liabilities is due to prepaid rent deposits to be applied to first months’ rent of $7,750. The lease included a rent-free period with rent payments commencing on October 1, 2020. As of December 31, 2020, Fairfield Lease had a remaining term of 1.67 years. The Fairfield Lease also included a refundable security deposit of $7,750 which is included in prepaid expenses and deposits at December 31, 2020.

Upon initial recognition of the lease, the Company recognized right-of-use assets of $133,825 and lease liabilities of $125,014.

Long-term portion  150,877   74,225 
Total lease liability $276,741  $137,160 

Operating lease liabilities are measured at the commencement date based on the present value of future lease payments. As the Company’s lease did not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The Company used a weighted average discount rate of 11.98% in determining its lease liabilities. The discount rate was derived from the Company’s assessment of borrowings.

Right-of-use assets include any prepaid lease payments and exclude any lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease if it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.

Operating lease expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 was $86,645 (2019 - $44,875) and is recorded in general and administration expense.

Future minimum lease payments to be paid by the Company as a lessee for operating leases as of December 31, 2020 for the next three years are as follows:

Operating lease commitments and lease liability December 31, 2020 
2021 $152,317

In the normal course of business, the Company indemnifies other parties, including customers, lessors, and parties to other transactions with the Company, with respect to certain matters. The Company has agreed to hold the other parties harmless against losses arising from a breach of representations or covenants, or out of intellectual property infringement or other claims made against certain parties. These agreements may limit the time within which an indemnification claim can be made and the amount of the claim. In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its officers and directors, and the Company’s bylaws contain similar indemnification obligations to the Company’s agents. It is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount under these indemnification agreements due to the Company’s limited history with prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Historically, payments made by the Company under these agreements have not had a material effect on the Company’s operating results, financial position, or cash flows.

Note 17 – REVISION OF PRIOR YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

While preparing the interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ending March 31, 2018, the Company noted that there was a revision of the fair value of the derivative liabilities and during the period ended June 30, 2018, determined that no non-controlling interest exists. Accordingly, the Company has revised its consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2017 to reflect the change in fair value of derivative liabilities and retained earnings during the period and the fair value of the derivative liabilities and retained earnings as at December 31, 2017. This revision resulted in an increase to deficit of $1,819,564, an increase to net loss of $484,759, an increase to comprehensive loss of $720,424 and an increase to net loss per share of $43.89. There was no impact on the consolidated statement of cash flows. In accordance with the guidance provided by the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin 99, Materiality and Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108,“Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements”, the Company has determined that the impact of adjustments relating to the correction of this accounting error was derived from an estimate, has no impact on compliance with regulatory requirements or loan covenants, and has no impact on the Company’s cash flows. Accordingly, these changes are disclosed herein and have been disclosed prospectively.

Note 18 – INCOME TAX

 

For the years ended December 31, 20182020 and 2017,2019, there is $Nil and $Nil current and deferred income tax expense, respectively, reflected in the Statement of Operations.

 

The following are the components of income before income tax reflected in the Statement of Operations for the years ended December 31, 20182020 and 2017:2019:

 

Component of Loss Before Income Tax

 

 December 31, 2018 December 31, 2017  December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 
Loss before income tax $(9,825,404) $(4,116,821) $(6,177,099) $(3,078,120)
Income Tax $-  $- 
Income tax $-  $- 
Effective tax rate  21.0%  21.0%  21.0%  21.0%

 

Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between the tax and financial statement recognition of revenue and expense. In evaluating the ability to recover the deferred tax assets within the jurisdiction from which they arise, the Company considered all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. In projecting future taxable income, the Company began with historical results adjusted for changes in accounting policies and incorporates assumptions including the amount of future pretax operating income, the reversal of temporary differences, and the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. These assumptions require significant judgment about the forecasts of future taxable income and are consistent with the plans and estimate the Company are using to manage the underlying businesses. In evaluating the objective evidence that historical results provide, the Company consider three years of cumulative operating income (loss).

 

On December 22, 2017, the President of the United States signed into law the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”), which reduced the corporate tax rate for businesses from a maximum of 35% to a flat 21% rate. The rate reduction is effective on January 1, 2018. As a result of the rate reduction, the Company reduced the deferred tax asset balance as of December 31, 2017 by $4,257,379. Due to the Company’s full valuation allowance position, there was no net impact on the Company’s income tax provision at December 31, 2017 as the reduction in the deferred tax asset balance was fully offset by a corresponding decrease in the valuation allowance.

As of December 31, 2018,2020, the Company had aggregate net operating losses of $42,054,821 (2017$51,310,040 (2019 - $30,409,853)$45,132,941) to offset future taxable income in Canadathe United States and the United Kingdom. The deferred tax assets at December 31, 20182020 were fully reserved. Management believes it is more likely than not that these assets will not be realized in the near future.

Item 17. UNDERTAKINGS

 

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes

 

 1.To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

 i.To include any Prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
   
 ii.To reflect in the Prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of Prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.
   
 iii.To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

 

 2.That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
   
 3.To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
   
 4.That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

 i.Any Preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
   
 ii.Any free writing Prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
   
 iii.The portion of any other free writing Prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
   
 iv.Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

 

 5.That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser: Each Prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than Prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or Prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or Prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or Prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the corporation in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by a controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and will be governed by the final adjudication of such case.
