DIGITAL BRAND MEDIA & MARKETING GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND GOING CONCERN

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 companyCompany 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 the rulesForm 10-Q and regulationsRule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the Securitiesinformation and Exchange Commission (the SEC). The accompanying unaudited consolidatedfootnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements includestatements. In the accountsopinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six months ended February 29, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. You should read these interim financial statements in conjunction withresults that may be expected for the consolidatedyear ending August 31, 2020.

Going Concern

The accompanying 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 $1.8 million at February 29, 2020 and doesn’t have sufficient cash on hand to satisfy such obligations. However, the Company generated proceeds of $158,575 from financing activities during the six months ending February 29, 2020. The Company also has a non-binding Commitment Letter from an investor of $250,000 which also includes a right of first refusal on additional capital raise up to $3 million which will contribute to satisfying such obligations and fund any potential cash flow deficiencies from operations for the foreseeable future.

Accordingly, the accompanying 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 threesix months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents as of February 29, 2020.

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 February 29, 2020, the Company did not recognize anrecognized $25,224, as the allowance for doubtful accounts as of November 30 and August 31, 2014, respectively.accounts.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment isare stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets (primarily three to five years).

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those services. We enter into contracts that can include various combinations of services, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.

Nature of Services

The Company followsgenerally provides its services to companies, primarily located in Europe but with international exposure. The Company generally provides its services ratably over the guidanceterms of ASC Topic 605, formerly, SAB 104 for revenue recognition. In general, the Company records revenue when persuasive evidencecontract and bills such services at a monthly fixed rate. Some 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, evidencebilled quarterly. The Company’s services are sold without guarantees.

Significant Judgments

Our contracts with customers sometimes often include promises to transfer multiple services to a customer. Determining whether services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together may require significant judgment. 

Judgment is required to determine the SSP for each distinct performance obligation. The Company uses a single amount to estimate SSP for items that are not sold separately, including set-up services, monthly search advertising services, and monthly optimization and management.

Contract Balances  

Timing of an arrangement exists,revenue recognition may differ from the feetiming of invoicing to customers. The Company records a receivable when revenue is fixedrecognized prior to invoicing, or unearned revenue when revenue is recognized subsequent to invoicing.

8

The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects our best estimate of probable losses inherent in the accounts receivable balance. We determine the allowance based on known troubled accounts, historical experience, and determinable and collectability is probable.other currently available evidence. 

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. Included in these estimates are assumptions about the collection of its accounts receivable, converted amount of cash denominated in a foreign currency, and estimated amounts of cash, the derivative liability could settle, if not in common shares. 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.

Earnings (loss) per common share

The Company utilizes the guidance per FASB Codification ASC“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, 2015February 29, 2020 and 2014.  The anti-dilutive securities amounted to 5,879,736 and 60,608 as of May 31, 2015 and August 31, 2014.February 28, 2019.

Derivative Liabilities

The Company assessed the classification of its derivative financial instruments as of May 31, 2015,February 29, 2020, which consist of convertible instruments and rights to shares of the CompanysCompany’s 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 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.

9

During the nine-monthsix-month period ended May 31, 2015February 29, 2020 and 2014,February 28, 2019, 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., Binomial 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 CompanysCompany’s financial position or operating results but did expand certain disclosures.

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: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

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 entity’s own assumptions.

The Company did not have any Level 2 or Level 3 assets or liabilities as of May 31, 2015,February 29, 2020, 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, 2015February 29, 2020 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

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

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“The Meaning of Conventional“Conventional Convertible Debt InstrumentInstrument”.

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“Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features, as those professional standards pertain to Certain“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.

10

ASC 815-40 provides that, among other things, generally, if an event is not within the entitysentity’s 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-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 botheither 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 stockholdersstockholders’ 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.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

A variety

In February 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. The adoption of ASU 2016-02 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and associated disclosures.

In August 2016, FASB issued accounting standards have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not requireupdate 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. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public and nonpublic entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption until a future date. We regularly review all new pronouncements that have been issued since the filing of our Form 10-K for the nine-month period ended May 31, 2015 to determine their impact, if any, on our financial statements.is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company does not expect the adoption of any of these standards toanticipate that adopting ASU-2016-15 will have a material impact once adopted.on its consolidated financial statements and associated disclosures. 

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Digital Clarity helps companies ‘get found’ on search engines like Google. Using the above Market Share chart and the data from Internet live stats, we can see the number of daily searches on Google 3.5 billion, which equates to 1.2 trillion searches per year worldwide.

How machine learning is enhancing digital marketing strategy

Digital Clarity applies strategy to algorithmic based machine learning tools. The launch of Google’s new machine learning tool, RankBrain which contributes to search engine results, left many people wondering what impact machine learning would have in the realm of Search Engine Optimization (SEO).

With the tech industry going crazy for all things Artificial Intelligence (AI), Natural Language Processing (NLP), machine learning, and chatbots – companies like Digital Clarity help brands make sense of this ever-changing landscape.

Machine learning and Digital Marketing

Because machine learning is being used to solve a huge set of diverse problems with the help of data, channels, content, and context, as marketers, Digital Clarity stands to benefit from this information and phenomenon as a whole. But, as the information we gather grows, digital marketing as we know it is set to change. Digital Clarity will be at the forefront of this change.

Search Engine Optimization

From an SEO point of view, keywords could become less important. Search engines receive more revenue for ads when they provide users with higher quality content. As a result, the algorithm they use needs to be more focused on providing each user with content that modelwill serve a specific purpose, rather than be packed with the right keyword density. Therefore, the need to expand geographic reachstart thinking about the quality of your content as a ranking factor on search engines. This is where Digital Clarity come and help shape content ‘in the right way’ to help it get found.

Get to grips with the metrics that are most valuable to your business

Understand obstacles that could get in the way of meeting your goals

Know the underlying performance drivers to make more strategic decisions

Although still extremely important, the internet has become inundated with existingtoo much content. As mentioned above, to succeed, brands need to be creating content that is valuable to readers. To do this, you need to understand consumer trends, data and new partners.engagement. Machine learning tools alongside Digital Clarity’s strategic approach allows its clients to reduce the amount of time spent tracking data, as well as better decipher that data to create actionable tasks that will lead to success.

The Growth of Digital Marketing & Consultancy Services

The skill set historically owned by agencies offering disciplines such as UX, design, creativity, customer-centric data analytics and customer engagement is now being immersed with large consultancy businesses whose traditional bread and butter was Digital Transformation.

Accenture, Deloitte, IBM, KPMG, McKinsey and PricewaterhouseCoopers rank among the most aggressive players in acquiring and partnering with agencies such as Digital Clarity. They present not only an opportunity for Digital Clarity but also a prospective exit and investment opportunity.

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.

Growth Opportunities in the Market

In fiscal year 2020, the Company will continue to take advantage of the global growth in Digital Marketing.

DIGITAL CLARITY READY TO TAKE COMMERCIAL ADVANTAGE OF SOCIAL MEDIA GROWTH

Digital consumers are now more likely to say they use social to follow the news (40%) than they are to identify it as a platform for keeping in touch with friends (39%). Entertainment also now plays a key role in motivating digital consumers to engage with social media, ranking as the third most important reason for internet users (38%) but showing the highest growth.

The opportunities for social engagement, at all times of the day and in various locations, have facilitated the evolution of social platforms into entertainment hubs. It’s no longer about “social” activities in the purest sense, but more purposeful activities, particularly those based around content consumption. This helps to explain why motivations like news consumption, finding entertaining content, researching products, and watching sports have seen increases in the past few years.

THE GROWTH OF SOCIAL MEDIA E-COMMERCE

Enabling consumers to finalize a purchase while remaining within social apps has been a goal for social platforms for some time now. Social commerce is seen to have the potential to be a major revenue generator and an important way to diversify revenue streams beyond advertising. Across Asia, networks like WeChat and Line have successfully facilitated commerce via their platforms, allowing consumers to carry out a range of commerce activities from booking taxis to paying for restaurant bills or items in-store.

But social commerce has been a tough sell in many Western markets. Online consumer habits here can be difficult to change, especially when it comes to the potentially sensitive information involved in financial transactions. Social media can play a big role in the purchase journey right up to the point of purchase, but the appetite to complete a final purchase within the platform remains low. Most will move to retail sites. These benefits must be intrinsically social or deeply embedded with payment systems, and must be grounded in consumer-engagement strategies, in order for social commerce to achieve the roaring success seen in APAC.

The prospect of using “buy” buttons on social media in the U.S. has not quite gained traction. The growing role of social networks as a way of researching products does, however, provide social video with a strong value-proposition in The Social Path to Purchase % who say they do the following furthering the social commerce agenda in this market.

B2B eCommerce is a bigger giant

B2B (business-to-business) eCommerce is the online selling and marketing of products from one business to another. And when compared to the B2C (business-to-consumer) eCommerce industry, B2B eCommerce is projected to be two times higher than B2C by 2020.

In the US alone, B2B eCommerce sales will hit 1.184 trillion dollars by 2021.

The predominance of B2B ecommerce means that B2B businesses must improve and simplify their shopping journey, channeling the B2C ordering experience. The B2B shopping experience is a lot more complicated than that of a B2C buyer.

Because of the nature of the transaction, B2B buyers usually need to go through the maze of an often confusingvarious steps, including sales representative interaction, negotiations, and sophisticated set of barriers,approvals before they can make a successful purchase.

The algorithms developedtraditional integrated investor outreach campaign which will be run by Digital Clarity, includewith third parties, as required, for distribution. In all socialareas, the Company will act in the interests of all stakeholders.

In the full industry context of dramatic expansion of digital footprints, there has been no direct correlation between DBMM's revenues and its share price. Economic and industry analysts have opined that the industry multiple continues to grow to, in some cases, 25-30 times revenues. DBMM will expand its client and geographic scale, thus increasing revenues. There were matters outside of DBMM's control which caused growth to be in neutral. With capital infusion, 2020 will follow the model of a growing client base and geographic reach until it achieves a TBD level of profitability. This benchmark will replicate successful industry models in digital technology and marketing.

FINANCIAL OVERVIEW/OUTLOOK

DBMM has been honing its commercial model since the acquisition of Digital Clarity (“DC”) in 2011 which has been cash-flow positive as an operating company since its acquisition. External events outside of DBMM's control has precluded the growth expected to this point, however, its margins will continue to be strong on an annual basis, and once the business reaches appropriate scale with assumed profitability and cross-over point, DBMM will be a very successful business for all of its stakeholders.

The growth trajectory anticipated is expected during 2020. Once that occurs, the clients benefit immediately due to a wider range of resources; the shareholders will benefit as the market cap grows. The media platformsmarket multiple far exceeds the “old” manufacturing multiples, as they develop,digital technology and technology partnersmarketing has become one of the fastest growing industries in the world today.

DBMM's place in the sector is strong. The industry environment continues to grow exponentially and the future of digital marketing as an essential strategy for any consumer-facing business has been proven over-and-over as certain retail businesses are forced to close their doors for lack of or ineffective digital presence. DBMM's brand, Digital Clarity, increases its valuation with client case studies and industry awards resulting in its being considered a leader in the sector for its size. DBMM's increasing client base, coupled with decreasing certain kind of debt and expenses, positions the clients analytics provide ROI positive results within a quarter.

Coincidently, business development has slowed down temporarily due to Brexit unease in the UK and clients concern about trade issues with or without the European Union and global concerns about the COVID-19, and its near- and long-term implications. Since 2017, DBMM was able to attract new investors to provide the financing required to complete all delinquent filings beginning with the 2015-2016-2017 Super 10-K, and to keep DBMM current in SEC reporting, The Company received a commitment for future working capital in order to grow the Company in key markets, with the intent to move to DBMM profitability. At that point, DBMM would not require future financing until it was ready to acquire 1-2 additional companies to complement and further develop the digital marketing business. The Company also settled its long-standing litigation with a toxic lender, with the settlement fully paid, thus closing the proceeding. Growth capital will increase as the client base re-balanced.

Going forward, there will be an emphasis on investor awareness as soon as the SEC enters a Final Order for the initial decision issued November 12, 2019. DBMM has been current in its filings since July 2018 and are encouraged by the outlook after normal trading has re-commenced which will not occur until Final Order has been issued by the Commission. DBMM intends to make significant strides in aggressively widening its brand exposure using a variety of digital and social channels. There are investors around the globe who understand the digital marketplace and its increasing influence on consumer decisions. DBMM is targeting these new investors in the public market through a global digital and traditional, integrated campaign which will be run by Digital Clarity, with third parties, as required for distribution.

In 2015, it is expected thatreturn to normal trading following the U.S. economy will continue its recovery whiledismissal of 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) 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 digital market continues to be focused on London, New York and Los Angeles; therefore, DBMMs 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 remains 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.

Europe

As the current operations base of the digital marketing agency is in London England, it is perfectly placed to reach out to the broader European market to replicate the Companys model in the stronger economies in this region. As with the relationships mentioned in the US, opportunities were advanced with US partners to leverage Digital Claritys reach in this region and help take established US agencies into the European region.

2014 saw new clients emerge from Europe, as well as expansion of global reach of new U.S. clients.

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.

Givencompetitive advantage and intends to meet the complexity of the regionchallenge 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 reachhas 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.

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 services and technology driven through Digital Clarity. DBMM is a marketing services company which is labor intensive in order to provide a differentiating product to 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, DBMMs financing efforts have always been in short term, small amounts of working capital. That is changing in 2015. Going forward, DBMM intends to embark on a significant capital raise to allow the Company to scale up geographically 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 growth which will be conducted in conjunction with concluding an acquisition in the digital technology/marketing services sector.

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.past.
