DIGITAL BRAND MEDIA & MARKETING GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSNotes To Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements


NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND GOING CONCERN

Nature

Nature of Business and History of the Company


Digital Brand Media & Marketing Group, Inc. (f/k/a RTG Ventures, Inc.) (The Company) is an OTC:PK listed company. The Company was organized under the laws of the State of Florida on September 29, 1998.


The Company also strategically focuses on developing the business of its wholly owned and revenue generating online marketing services company, Digital Clarity. With deep DNA in its operating market, blending the services of an experienced professional workforce leveraging a technology offering would positionpositions the company in a strong, forward looking structure. Digital Clarity operates in the growing area of digital marketing that helps companies make the most of the digital economy focusing on areas such as Search Engine Marketing (Google, Yahoo! & Bing), Social Media (Twitter, Facebook & LinkedIn) and Internet Strategy Planning including Design, Analytics and Mobile Marketing.

From 2013-2015

Following the acquisition of Digital Clarity in 2011 the Company has been honing its business model to be the differentiating service provider in digital marketing space to its clients and prospective business as DBMM grows into one of the leaders in the industry going forward.


Today, DBMM Group crafts, designs and executes digital marketing strategies across multiple ad platforms and social media networks for a broad array of clients to help each of them establish a uniform brand identity across the digital universe. The product offering is a unique value proposition of intelligent analytics provided by an experienced digital marketing and technology team. Therefore, DBMM Group is a blend of data, strategy and creative execution.

The Company approved a 1 to 1,000 Reverse Split of its shares of common stock, effective July 17, 2015. All reference to Common Stock shares and per share amounts have been retroactively restated to effect the reverse stock split as if the transaction had taken place as of the beginning of the earliest period presented.

The Authorized Shares have been reduced by an equal proportion to 10,000,000.

Going Concern

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Company has an accumulated deficit of approximately $12.2 million and a working capital deficiency at May 31, 2015 of approximately $2.5 million. The Company has incurred a net loss of approximately $670,000, and used cash in operation of $239,000 for the nine-months ended May 31, 2015. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due, and to generate profitable operations in the future. Management plans to continue to provide for its capital requirements by seeking long term financing which may be in the form of additional equity securities and debt. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time and there are no assurances that if achieved, the Company will have sufficient funds to execute its business plan or generate positive operating results.

These matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. These unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Basis of Presentation

The interim consolidated financial statements of Digital Brand Media & Marketing Group, Inc. (we,” “us,” “our,” “DBMM or the Company) are unaudited and contain all adjustments (consisting primarily of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full year or for previously reported periods due in part, but not limited to, availability of capital resources, the timing of acquisitions, and the sensitivity of our business to economic conditions.

The accompanying unauditedcondensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP)of America for interim financial information and pursuantwith the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended May 31, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending August 31, 2018. Certain reclassifications have been made to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). The accompanying unaudited consolidatedprior year financial statements includeto conform to the accounts ofcurrent year presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on our previously reported net loss or accumulated deficit. For further information refer to the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. You should read these interim financial statements in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notesfootnotes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K/A10-K for the year ended August 31, 2014.2017.





F-4








Going Concern

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if The Company is unable to continue as a going concern.


The Company has outstanding loans and convertible notes payable aggregating $1.4 million at May 31, 2018 and doesnt have sufficient cash on hand to satisfy such obligations. The Company has received a non-binding commitment letter from an investor of $250,000 (plus a right of first refusal on additional equity raise up to $3.0 million) which will contribute to satisfying such obligations and fund any potential cash flow deficiencies from operations for the foreseeable future.

Accordingly, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.


NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles

Basis of Consolidation


The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary RTG Ventures (Europe), Ltd.Stylar (DBA Digital Clarity). All significant inter-company transactions are eliminated.


Cash and Cash Equivalents


Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash in banks. The Company considers cash equivalents to include all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of May 31, 2018.


Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts


Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Accounts receivable are presented net of allowance for doubtful accounts.


The Company has a policy of reserving for uncollectible accounts based on its best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. The Company periodically reviews its accounts receivable to determine whether an allowance is necessary based on an analysis of past due accounts and other factors that may indicate that the realization of an account may be in doubt. Account balances deemed to be uncollectible are charged to the bad debt expense after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. TheAt May 31, 2018, the Company did not recognize anrecognized $8,634, as the allowance for doubtful accounts as of November 30 and August 31, 2014, respectively.accounts.

Revenue Recognition


The Company follows the guidance of ASC Topic 605, formerly, SAB 104 for revenue recognition. In general, the Company records revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.

Revenues from services are recognized when the services are performed, evidence of an arrangement exists, the fee is fixed and determinable and collectability is probable.

Use of Estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Income Taxes


The Company accountsfollows the provisions of the ASC 740 -10 related to, Accounting for income taxes utilizingUncertain Income Tax Positions. When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the liability methodtaxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of accounting. Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determinedposition taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. In accordance with the guidance of ASC 740-10, the benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on differences between financial statementall available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above should be reflected as a liability for uncertain tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. The Company believes its tax basespositions are all highly certain of assetsbeing upheld upon examination. As such, the Company has not recorded a liability for uncertain tax benefits.


The Company has adopted ASC 740-10-25 Definition of Settlement, which provides guidance on how an entity should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits and liabilities at enactedprovides that a tax rates in effect in years in which differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferredposition can be effectively settled upon the completion of an examination by a taxing authority without being legally extinguished. For tax assets to amounts that are expectedpositions considered effectively settled, an entity would recognize the full amount of tax benefit, even if the tax position is not considered more likely than not to be realized.sustained based solely on the basis of its technical merits and the statute of limitations remains open.



F-6










Earnings (loss) per common share


The Company utilizes the guidance per FASB Codification ASC 260 "Earnings Per Share". Basic earnings per share is calculated on the weighted effect of all common shares issued and outstanding and is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share, which is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares used in the basic earnings per share calculation, plus the number of common shares that would be issued assuming conversion of all potentially dilutive securities outstanding, is not presented separately as it is anti-dilutive.anti- dilutive. Such securities have been excluded from the per share computations as of May 31, 20152018 and 2014.  The anti-dilutive securities amounted to 5,879,736 and 60,608 as of May 31, 2015 and August 31, 2014.2017.


Derivative Liabilities


The Company assessed the classification of its derivative financial instruments as of May 31, 2015,2018, which consist of convertible instruments and rights to shares of the Companys common stock and determined that such derivatives meet the criteria for liability classification under ASC 815.


ASC 815 generally provides three criteria that, if met, require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standingfree-standing derivative financial instruments. These three criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument subject to the requirements of ASC 815. ASC 815 also provides an exception to this rule when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional, as described.

During the nine-month period ended May 31, 20152018 and 2014,2017, the Company had notes payable outstanding in which the conversion rate was variable and undeterminable. Accordingly, the Company has recognized a derivative liability in connection with such instruments. The Company uses judgment in determining the fair value of derivative liabilities at the date of issuance at every balance sheet thereafter and in determining which valuation is most appropriate for the instrument (e.g., BinomialBlack-Scholes method), the expected volatility, the implied risk freerisk-free interest rate, as well as the expected dividend rate.


Fair Value of Financial Instruments


Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted FASB ASC 820-Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, or ASC 820, for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing generally accepted accounting principles that require the use of fair value measurements establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements. The adoption of ASC 820 did not have an impact on the Companys financial position or operating results but did expand certain disclosures.



F-7





ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, ASC 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized below:


Level 1

Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2

Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data

Level 3

Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entitys own assumptions.


The Company did not have any other Level 2 or Level 3 assets or liabilities as of May 31, 2015,2018, with the exception of its derivative liability which are valued based on Level 3 inputs.


Cash is considered to be highly liquid and easily tradable as of May 31, 20152018, and therefore classified as Level 1 within our fair value hierarchy.


In addition, FASB ASC 825-10-25 Fair Value Option, or ASC 825-10-25, was effective for January 1, 2008. ASC 825-10-25 expands opportunities to use fair value measurements in financial reporting and permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The Company did not elect the fair value options for any of its qualifying financial instruments.

Convertible Instruments



Convertible Instruments

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


Professional standards generally providesprovide three criteria that, if met, require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments.

These three criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. Professional standards also provide an exception to this rule when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional as defined under professional standards as The Meaning of Conventional Convertible Debt Instrument.







F-8





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


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


Stock Based Compensation


We account for the grant of stock options and restricted stock awards to employees in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. ASC 718 requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity basedequity-based compensation.


Foreign Currency Translation


Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries operating in foreign countries are translated into U.S. dollars using both the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date or historical rate, as applicable. Results of operations are translated using the average exchange rates prevailing throughout the year. The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on translating foreign currency assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars are included in a separate component of stockholders equity (accumulated other comprehensive loss), while gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in operations.


Business Combinations


In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 805, "Business Combinations" ("ASC 805") the Company records acquisitions under the purchase method of accounting, under which the acquisition purchase price is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their respective fair values. The Company utilizes management estimates and, in some instances, may require an independent third-party valuation firm to assist in determining the fair values of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and contingent consideration granted. Such estimates and valuations require us to make significant assumptions, including projections of future events and operating performance.

We regularly review all new pronouncements that have been issued sincereflects the filingconsideration expected to be received in exchange for such goods or services. In addition, ASC 606 requires disclosure of our Form 10-Kthe nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either operating or financing, with such classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact ASU 2016-02 will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements and associated disclosures.


In August 2016, FASB issued accounting standards update ASU-2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, to address diversity in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows.

Why Analytics Are Important


Knowing how to identify trends and interrogate data is of paramount importance to any marketing department. Analytics gives you answers to some of the most important questions you should be asking about your campaigns, maximizing effectiveness when things go well and providing solutions when things go wrong. Without this information, what appears to be a successful campaign could be failing to achieve its full potential, and there may be critical problems of which many companies may not be aware.

For the first time ever, four consultancies have cracked Ad Age's ranking of the 10 largest agency companies in the world. With combined revenue of $13.2 billion, the marketing services units of Accenture, PwC, IBM and Deloitte sit just below WPP, Omnicom, Publicis Groupe, Interpublic and Dentsu.

GROWTH IN INVESTOR AWARENESS AND OUTREACH.


Digital Brand Media & Marketing Group, Inc. is initiating a significant effort to raise investor awareness on a global basis. The strategic outreach is directed at investors around the world who understand the digital marketplace and its expanding influence on consumer decisions. DBMM is targeting these new investors through a global digital and traditional integrated investor outreach campaign which will be run by Digital Clarity, with third parties, as required for DBMM to reach Global Marketsdistribution.


In 2015, itthe full industry context of dramatic expansion of digital footprints, there has been no direct correlation between DBMM's (increasing) revenues and its pps. Economic and industry analysts state the multiple for digital media has continued to grow to 25-30 times revenues.


FINANCIAL OVERVIEW/OUTLOOK


DBMM (the Company) has been honing its commercial model since the acquisition of Digital Clarity (DC) in 2011; DC has been cash-flow positive as an operating company since its acquisition. Going forward, as the Company is expected thatscaling up, with growth capital to expand proportionately, the U.S. economy will continue its recovery while the global economy is lagging behind. As the markets remain volatile, the opportunity for a company like DBMM to approach new business with its proven track record increases. The core markets remain US and English speaking European markets. Emerging markets are a target for 2015. BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India and China)focus will be key targets from the emerging markets.

Internet usage is poised for explosive growth across Asia, driving massive consumer demand for digital content and services. The biggest challenge for businesses hoping to meet this demand is how to make money while creating low-cost content. According to McKinsey & Co, India and China are driving an emerging digital revolution via new mobile devices.

The Company intends to further extend its services in the Middle Eastern market initially then review the successes using a lean methodology and continuous improvement along the way, and then roll out to the BRIC markets.

US

The US remains the center of the entertainment, technology and digital industries and as such the emphasis looking forward to 2015 and building on the recent success in the last quarterdigital marketing global triangle of the 2014 calendar year means that DBMM and its agency Digital Clarity are perfectly positioned to spring board into this market using the successful models established over the last two years.

The digital market continues to be focused on London, New York and Los Angeles; therefore,Angeles. Margins continue to be robust, and once the business reaches appropriate scale with assumed profitability after growth capital infusion and the crossover point is established, DBMM will become a successful business for all its stakeholders.


The clients benefit immediately; the shareholders will benefit as the market cap grows. The media market multiple far exceeds the manufacturing cap multiple, as digital marketing technology has become one of the fastest-growing industries in the world today.


For context, Benjamin Graham, a British-born investor who inspired Warren Buffett, repeated endlessly (his colleagues have said): In the short term, the stock market is a voting machine. In the long run its same triangle of London/New York/LA is strategically sound. We are establishing a strong digital marketing presence in the Los Angeles area to cover the entertainment and music market and then plan to have the same model in New York. Our corporate offices are located in New York, however Los Angeles remainsweighing machine that measures a key regional base from which to build and expand relationships, while a New York presence is equally important to serve and build relationships in the largest advertising market in the US.Companys true value.

Europe

As the current operations baseCompany has been developing incrementally, but not nearly at the pace management would like because of the digital marketing agency isnon-operating hurdles faced since the Company was required to re-audit in London England, it is perfectly placed to reach out to2013, and the broader European market to replicatelitigation thereafter, creating a series of mitigating circumstances beyond the Companys modelcontrol. The Company continues to address the challenges and is very encouraged by the identification of long-term investors who infused capital into DBMM beginning in the stronger economies1Q2018, specifically to bring its delinquent filings current. Capital was finally available for this purpose, to prepare a Super 10-K for 2015-2016-2017, providing 3 years of audited financial statements to the public. (The Super 10-K was filed May 31, 2018. The Q1 2018 was filed on June 22, 2018, and the Q2 was filed on June 25, 2018.)


Equally important, DBMM now has a normal cash-flow model of investment, focused on growth identified, and secured, to support the Companys Business Plan going forward. That fact reinforces a commitment that reporting will take place as required and the Company can return to the growth model envisioned before outside influences interfered to the detriment of DBMM. The long-term investors are just that, not short-term equity players. Likewise, the economic environment globally has recovered and is on an upswing, unlike the Financial Recession, so mezzanine financing is (finally) available. The industry is very attractive to investors, and DBMM using the technology of tech giants, coupled with data available from social media platforms, is specifically attractive as a business.

Analysis indicates that large marketing and advertising entities are acquiring differentiating digital marketing companies, rather than developing the expertise organically. That fact acknowledges DBMMs Business Plan which would see such a sale as a potential exit strategy for consideration in this region. As with the relationships mentioneda 5-8-year timeframe.


The contingency of a sale is supported by DBMMs place in the US, opportunities were advanced with US partnersindustry, which is strong. The acquired company, Digital Clarity, won or placed in several industry awards during the past 1-2 years. With funding, the Company can broaden its reach as there are many companies in the pipeline which have been in neutral, until the infrastructure could be developed. The Company is labor-intensive, and Management has access to leverage Digital Claritythe s reach in this regionbest and help take established US agencies into the European region.

In 2013, the execution of this aspect of the business plan is illustrated by the agreements with VMS and Brandmini to represent them outside the United States, initially in Europe.

Middle East

The Middle East is a fertile market for heritage based USindustry environment continues to grow exponentially and European brands looking for entry into this lucrative market. The fastest area for growth in this sector is to leverage on the luxury arena. Digital Clarity has developed new business in a number of different luxury brands.

Given the complexity of the region as well as the enormous potential, it is important that Digital Clarity aligns itself with established players in local markets. With this in mind, Digital Clarity will look to collaborate with some digital agency partners where there is already a relationship and  create a strategy that allows  the company to look at the breakdown of current digital competence of these brands focusing on various touch points such as tablets, sites, mobile & social reach in the Middle East.

Our value proposition is very much about creating digital penetration of the Middle Eastern market for a particular group and how those brands would be positioned to create brand value a byproduct of which would be sales.

Support for growth in the Middle East

Worldwide luxury goods continues double-digit annual growth; global market now tops 200 billion

·     Dubai commands around 30 per cent of Middle East luxury market and around 60 per cent of the UAEs luxury market

·

The Dubai Mall accounts for around 50 per cent of Dubais luxury purchases

·

Each year, more HENRYs(High Earnings, Not Rich Yet) become potential customers, with ten times as many HENRYs as ultra-affluent individuals

·

The rise of the middle class in emerging countries is polarizing the competitive arena, becoming a new baby-boom sized generation for luxury brands to target.

Financial Overview/Outlook

DBMM began the 2015 fiscal year with significant challenges, all of which were addressed and became a strong foundation for future growth. The focus remains on the growth of digital marketing servicesas an essential strategy for any consumer-facing business is essential. DBMM has been honing its business model since the acquisition of its brand and technology driven through Digital Clarity. DBMM is a marketing services company which is labor intensive in order to provide a differentiating product toan industry leader for its clients. As such, it is imperative to raise a significant amount of capital to hire professionals who can deliver profit to the Company within a quarter. The proven model carried in our financials is each new hire/client averages a margin of 35%-55%, straight line and simple. On that basis, our target is to recruit 10-20 new staff to represent a critical mass and scale up our revenues proportionately. We have begun that trajectory upward in the 1Q 2015.

Digital Clarity has a differentiating approach to its products and services by providing brand enhancement and increased ROI through a strategic alignment with its clients from content design through execution and stewardship. By providing a 360-degree product, we reinforce the relationship with the clients and become key advisors a seat at the table, as it were. That translates to a consistent 35-55% margin and long-term clients.

However, the weakened share price remains a challenge to the Company. On that basis, in the last two years having revenues of approximately $400,000 to $500,000 would suggest a conservative market multiple of x10-x16, the latter being the manufacturing average, the market cap of DBMM should be a minimum of $5,000,000. The multiples for media tend to be at the higher end of the spectrum; therefore, compared to other companies in this sector, DBMM is significantly undervalued. The issue will be addressed as a priority early in the 2015 fiscal year as it continues to be challenge.

In summary,size. DBMMs financing efforts have always been in short term, small amounts of working capital. That is changing in 2015. increasing client base, coupled with decreasing debt and expenses, positions the Company as intended, thus attracting mezzanine financing.


Going forward, there will be an emphasis on investor awareness during fiscal years 2018 and 2019. DBMM intendsis taking significant action to embarkaggressively widen its brand exposure using a variety of digital and social channels. There are investors around the globe who understand the digital marketplace and its growing influence on consumer decisions. DBMM is targeting these new investors through a significant capital raise to allow the Company to scale up geographicallyglobal digital and maximize our global reach through strategic relationships. This model is the most efficient and effective path to grow DBMM quickly into multiple revenue streams. We have proven the model in the last two years. Our marketing services offering is a labor intensive endeavor, wherein human capital is a key differentiator of knowledge and/or relationships. What we have discussed here is organic growthtraditional integrated campaign which will be conducted in conjunctionrun by Digital Clarity, with concluding an acquisition in the digital technology/marketing services sector.third parties as required for distribution.

After a very difficult year, fraught with challenges and hurdles, we see 2015 as poised for growth on multiple fronts. With capital infusion, which will allow us to bring in new clients, grow existing successful clients and service them accordingly, coupled with an offer of a deferred tax asset to attract partners with significant revenue and expansion patterns, we will have a model in place which will be sustainable.
