Note 2 – 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 (“US 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, 2015.2016. 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, 20152016 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 three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016.2017.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DSG Global Inc. and its subsidiary DSG Tag Systems, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiary DSG Tag Systems International, Ltd., collectively referred to as the Company. All material intercompany accounts, transactions and profits were eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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. 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.

Exchange (Loss) Gain

 

During the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, and 2015,2016, the transactions of the Company and its subsidiaries were denominated in foreign currencies and were recorded in Canadian dollar (CAD), or British Pounds (GBP), at the rates of exchange in effect when the transactions occurred. Exchange gains and losses are recognized for the different foreign exchange rates applied when the foreign currency assets and liabilities are settled.

 

Foreign Currency Translation and Comprehensive (Loss) Income

 

The accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries were maintained, and its financial statements were expressed, in CAD and GBP. Such financial statements were translated into United States dollars (USD) with the CAD or GBP as the functional currency. All assets and liabilities were translated at the exchange rate at the balance sheet date, stockholders’ deficit is translated at the historical rates and income statement items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the functional currency rate ruling at the date of transaction. Any differences between the initially recorded amount and the settlement amount are recorded as a gain or loss on foreign currency transaction in the consolidated statements of operations. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income as a component of shareholders’ equity.

 

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

 

The Company recognizes 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. The Company accrues for warranty costs, sales returns, and other allowances based on its historical experience.

 

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 utilizes the liability method of accounting for income tax. Under the liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are provided based on the difference between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities measured by the current enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which these differences are expected to reverse.

 

The Company has adopted accounting standards for the accounting for uncertain income taxes. These standards provide guidance for the accounting and disclosure about uncertain tax positions taken. Management believes that all of the positions taken in its federal and states income tax returns are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination.

 

 10 

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are cash, accounts receivable and other 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.Canada. The Company controls credit risk related to accounts receivable 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.

 

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 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 unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted 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 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.

 

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 SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, 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.

 

Trade Receivable

 

All trade receivables 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 trade receivables. The allowance for doubtful accounts as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, and December 31, 20152016 was $14,239$16,140 and $14,368,$47,289, 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 SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 20152016 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.

 

 11 

 

Advertising and Promotion Costs

 

The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred. Advertising and promotion costs were $335,034$119,616 and $278,516$170,191 for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and 2015,2016, respectively.

 

Inventory

 

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (determined on a weighted average basis) or market. Management compares the cost of inventories with the market value and allowance is made to write down inventories to market value, if lower. As of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017, and December 31, 2015,2016, inventory only consisted of finished goods. During the third quarter, we determined that the touch tablets we ordered from our supplier in China in 2015 were no longer suitable for installations due to technical and quality issues that we discovered over the last year at various installation sites. An estimated value of $109,170 has been written off from inventory.

 

Fixed Assets

 

Fixed assets are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight linestraight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term. The useful life for rental equipment was adjusted for the tag to 5 years from 10 years, and for the Touch/Text, the useful life was adjusted to 5 years from 8 years. The adjustment properly reflects the average lease term for the rental equipment and the average life of the product. The estimated useful lives of our property and equipment are generally as follows:

 

Rental equipment 
Tag5 year5-year useful life
Touch/Text5 year5-year useful life
Office furniture and equipment5 year5-year useful life
Computer equipment3 year3-year useful life

 

As of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017, and December 31, 2015,2016, fixed assets consisted of the following:

 

 September 30, 2016 December 31, 2015  June 30, 2017 December 31, 2016 
Furniture and equipment $21,330  $20,216  $21,560  $20,838

 $5,900  $6,971  $2,918 $4,741 

 

As of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017, and December 31, 2015,2016, leased equipment consisted of the following:

 

 September 30, 2016 December 31, 2015  June 30, 2017 December 31, 2016 
Tags $134,275  $141,400  $127,198  $122,935

 $79,235  $105,526  $25,522 $42,763 

 

For the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and 2015,2016, total depreciation expense was $11,755$7,390 and $6,924$23,057 for the fixed assets and leased equipment, respectively.

 

12

For the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and 2015,2016, total depreciation expense was $39,692$14,918 and $25,377$27,345 for the fixed assets and leased equipment, respectively.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and short-term debt, the carrying amounts approximate their fair values due to their short maturities. 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:

 

 12

Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

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

 

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

 

The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” and ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.”

 

AsThe Company’s financial instruments consist of Septembercash, trade receivables, trades payable, loans payable, and convertible notes payable. Other than convertible notes, the fair values of these financial instruments approximate their respective carrying values because of the short maturity of these instruments. The Company determined that the aggregate fair value of loans payable outstanding at June 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, based on Level 2 inputs in the Company did not identify any assets and liabilities that are requiredfair value hierarchy, was equal to be presentedtheir aggregate book value based on the short maturities and current borrowing rates available to the Company.

The fair value of the Company’s convertible notes is based on Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. The Company calculated the fair value of the potential derivative liability on these notes by using the Binomial method to determine the fair value of the conversion feature (see Note 7).

Debt issuance costs

The Company incurs costs in connection with debt issuances, such as commissions and professional fees. Debt issuance costs are initially recorded as a reduction of the related debt on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value.sheets, and are amortized to financing expense over the term of the respective borrowings using the effective interest method.

Any costs incurred or paid to the lender in connection with the issuance of debt represent a reduction in the proceeds received by the Company. The resulting discount is amortized as accretion expense over the term of the debt using the effective interest method.

 

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Share

 

Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Our potentially dilutive shares, which include outstanding convertible loans and notes, have not been included in the computation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders for all periods presented, as the results would be antidilutive. Such potentially dilutive shares are excluded when the effect would be to reduce net loss per share.

 

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and 2015:2016:

Intangible Assets

 

The Company records identifiable intangible assets at fair value on the date of acquisition and evaluates the useful life of each asset. Finite-lived intangible assets primarily consist of software development capitalized. Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis and are tested for recoverability if events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. These intangibles have useful lives ranging from 1 to 20 years.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

We recognize all share-based payments to employees and to non-employee directors as compensation for service on our board of directors as compensation expense in the consolidated financial statements based on the fair values of such payments. Stock-based compensation expense recognized each period is based on the value of the portion of share-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest during the period. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

 

For share-based payments to consultants and other third-parties, compensation expense is determined at the “measurement date.” The expense is recognized over the vesting period of the award. Until the measurement date is reached, the total amount of compensation expense remains uncertain. We record compensation expense based on the fair value of the award at the reporting date. The awards to consultants and other third-parties are then revalued, or the total compensation is recalculated based on the then current fair value, at each subsequent reporting date.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

ThereFor fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018:

In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASC 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.

For fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018:

In July 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASC 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) recharacterize the indefinite deferral of certain provisions and do not have been no newan accounting effect.

The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the above standards on their consolidated financial statements. Other recent accounting pronouncements duringissued by the nine months ended September 30, 2016 that we believe wouldFASB, 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 ourthe Company’s present or future consolidated financial position or results of operations.statements.

 

Going Concern

 

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $25,955,168$27,776,111 as of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and had a net loss of $1,486,677$762,665 for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017.

 

While the Company is attempting to grow revenues, improve margins, and lower costs, the Company’s cash position may not be sufficient to support the Company’s daily operations. Management is seeking to raise additional funds by way of a public or private offering. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to further implement its business plan and generate revenues provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to generate revenues and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to further implement its business plan and generate revenues.

 

The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

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.

On November 7, 2016, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with Coastal Investment Partners (the “Lendor”). Pursuant to the agreement, the Lendor provided us with cash proceeds of $125,000 on November 10, 2016. In exchange, we issued a secured convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $138,888.89 (the “$138,888.89 Note”), inclusive of an 8% original issue discount, which bears interest at 8% per annum to the holder. The $138,888.89 Note matures six months from issuance and is convertible at the option of the holder into our common shares at a price per share that is the lower of $0.12 or the closing price of our common stock on the conversion date. In addition, under the same terms, the company also issued a secured convertible note of $50,000 in consideration of cash proceeds of $10,000 and another secured convertible note of $75,000 in consideration of cash proceeds of $10,000. Under the agreements, the Company has the right to redeem $62,500 and $40,000 of the notes in consideration of $1 each at any time prior to the maturity date in the event that the $138,888.89 Note is exchanged or converted into a revolving credit facility with Coastal Investment, whereupon the two $10,000 convertible note balances shall be rolled into such credit facility. Discount on the notes was $116,389 and is being amortized over life of the notes.

On May 7, 2017, the Company triggered an event of default, under Section 6(a)(i) of the convertible note agreement with the Lendor dated November 7, 2016, by failing to repay the full principal amount and all accrued interest. The entire principal amount of the loan is due on demand and shall continue to accrue interest at an increased rate of 1.5% per month (18% per annum) or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law until the note is repaid in full.

On May 8, 2017, the Lendor provided conversion notice for $5,000 of the $72,500 convertible note dated November 7, 2016. The Company issued 100,000 common shares at a conversion price of $0.05 pursuant to this conversion.

On May 24, 2017, the Lendor provided conversion notice for $10,500 of the $72,500 convertible note dated November 7, 2016. The Company issued 210,000 common shares at a conversion price of $0.05 pursuant to this conversion.

On May 25, 2017, the Lendor provided conversion notice for the remaining principal $57,000 of the $72,500 convertible note dated November 7, 2016. This conversion was not processed by the Company’s transfer agent due to direction from the Company not to honor any further conversion notices from the Lendor.

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).

 

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, the Company had net operating losses, or NOLs, of approximately $26.0$28.0 million to offset future taxable income in Canada and the United Kingdom. The deferred tax assets at SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 were fully reserved. Management believes it is more likely than not that these assets will not be realized in the near future.

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.

Corporate History

 

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. and the shareholders of DSG TAG Systems 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 Systems in exchange for the issuance to the selling shareholders of up to 20,000,000 shares of our common stock on the basis of 1 common share for 5.4935 common shares of DSG TAG Systems.

 

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 Systems from shareholders who became parties to the share exchange agreement, and issued to these shareholders an aggregate of 18,422 shares of our common stock. Following completion of these additional purchases, DSG Global owns approximately 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of DSG TAG Systems. An aggregate of 4,229,384 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of DSG TAG Systems continues to be held by Westergaard Holdings Ltd., an affiliate of Keith Westergaard, a former member of our board of directors.

 

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.

Overview of Our 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 TEXT and high definition TOUCH — 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 TOUCH 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 TOUCH 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.

 

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

 

Our Revenue Model

 

We derive revenue from four different sources, as follows:

 

 Systems Sales Revenue, which consists of the sales price paid by those customers who purchase or 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.

  25 

 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 TEXT, or a TAG and TOUCH).
   
 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 TOUCH units.

24

 

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.

 

Cost of Revenue

Our cost of revenue consists primarily of hardware purchases, wireless data fees, mapping, installation costs, freight expenses and inventory adjustments.

 

 Hardware purchases.Our equipment purchases consist primarily of TAG system control units, TEXT display, and TOUCH display tablets. The TAG system control unit is sold as a stand-alone unit or in conjunction with our TEXT alphanumeric display or TOUCH high definition “touch activated” display. Hardware purchases also include costs of components used during installations, such as cables, mounting solutions, and other miscellaneous equipment.
   
 Wireless data fees. Our wireless data fees consist primarily of the data fees charged by outside providers of GPS tracking used in all of our TAG system control units.
   
 Mapping.Our mapping costs consist of aerial mapping, course map, geofencing, and 3D flyovers for golf courses. This cost is incurred at the time of hardware installation.
   
 Installation.Our installation costs consist primarily of costs incurred by our employed service technicians for the cost of travel, meals, and miscellaneous components required during installations. In addition, these costs also include fees paid to external contractors for installations on a project by project basis.
   
 Freight expenses and Inventory adjustments. Our freight expenses consist primarily of costs to ship hardware to courses for installations. Our inventory adjustments include inventory write offs, write downs, and other adjustments to the cost of inventory.
   
 Operating Expenses & Other Income (Expenses)We classify our operating expenses and other income (expenses) into six categories: compensation, research and development, general and administrative, warranty, foreign currency exchange, and finance costs. Our operating expenses consist primarily of sales and marketing, salaries and wages, consulting fees, professional fees, trade shows, software development, and allocated costs.

Results of Operations

 

We had a net lossincome of $673,937$1,331,352 for the three monththree-month period ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, which was $152,052$1,644,251 or 557.0% more than the net loss of $521,885$295,173 for the three monththree-month period ended SeptemberJune 30, 2015.2016. The primary reason for the net income compared to the net loss in the prior period is attributable to the $1,946,087 derivative gain recorded in the current quarter end relating to the change in fair value on convertible notes.

 

We had a net loss of $1,486,677$744,939 for the nine monthsix-month period ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, which was $70,774$62,346 or 9.1% more than the net loss of $1,415,903$682,593 for the nine monthsix-month period ended SeptemberJune 30, 2015.2016. The primary reason for the increase in net loss is attributable to the increase of $389,205 in finance costs in the current six months ended relating to convertible notes and partially offset by decreases in operating expenses.

The decreasesdecrease was primarily due to lower sales in 20162017 and continued design and redevelopment of our product line.

 

Due to the redevelopment of our product line, it has created lower sales overall than anticipated. We have been forced to move to a 3G/4G GPS cellular device, require redevelopment of our advertising, and also software development delays in integrating the tournament software onto the TOUCH screen, all of which that has caused delays in sales. Our company along with the new sales team is aggressively building its pipeline for the next year.

Prospective Capital Needs

We estimate our operating expenses and working capital requirements for the twelve monthtwelve-month period beginning OctoberJuly 1, 20162017 to be as follows:

 

Estimated Expenses for the Twelve Month Period Beginning October 1, 2016
Estimated Expenses for the Twelve-Month Period ending June 30, 2018    
Management compensation $600,000  $500,000 
Professional fees $120,000  $150,000 
General and administrative $2,200,000  $1,900,000 
Total $2,920,000  $2,550,000 

 

As noted earlier, during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, cash used in operations totaled $472,808.$209,154. 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.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 $2,920,000$2,550,000 that we require for the next 12 months, we had $0 in cash as of December 1, 2016,June 30, 2017, and a working capital deficit of $4,595,002.$6,278,962. 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/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.

 34

 

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 $108,651$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. We have already suspended payments of management compensation to our CEO since October 2015. 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.

On November 7, 2016, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with Coastal Investment Partners. Pursuant to the agreement, Coastal Investment provided us with cash proceeds of $125,000 on November 10, 2016. In exchange, we issued a secured convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $138,888.89 (the “$138,888.89 Note”), inclusive of an 8% original issue discount, which bears interest at 8% per annum to the holder. The $138,888.89 Note matures six months from issuance and is convertible at the option of the holder into our common shares at a price per share that is the lower of $0. 12 or the closing price of our common stock on the conversion date.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

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, 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 condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The phrase “disclosure controls and procedures” refers to controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, such as this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. Disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our interim chief executive officer, or Interim CEO, and chief financial officer, or CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decision regarding required disclosure.

 

Our management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that as of September 30, 2016, our disclosure controls and procedures were designed at a reasonable assurance level and were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Changes in Internal Control

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management’s evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act during the first quarter of 20162017 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

 

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

On June 4, 2015, a lawsuit was commenced against DSG TAG Systems Inc. in the Supreme Court of British Columbia, captioned Amanda McGuire v. DSG TAG Systems Inc., No. S-154634, Vancouver Registry. The plaintiff alleges that a promissory note in the principal amount of $100,000 CDN issued by DSG TAG Systems was not converted into common shares of DSG TAG Systems, as asserted by DSG TAG Systems, and the plaintiff seeks repayment of indebtedness in the amount of $100,000 CDN plus interest and costs. An agreement was reached on August 13, 2015 between DSG TAG Systems and the plaintiff, pursuant to which DSG TAG Systems agreed to pay the plaintiff $119,700 CDN in monthly installations of $17,100 CDN, the first payment commencing on October 1, 2015, and the plaintiff agreed to exchange 101,200 shares of common stock of DSG Tag Systems for 18,422 shares of common stock of DSG Global, which exchange occurred on October 22, 2015.

 

On December 3, 2015, a second action lawsuit was commenced against DSG TAG Systems Inc. in the Supreme Court of British Columbia, captioned Amanda McGuire v. DSG TAG Systems and DSG Global Inc., No. S-1510050, Vancouver Registry. The plaintiff filed a claim for default on the settlement agreement entered in on August 13, 2015 due to non-payment. On February 20, 2016, a new agreement was reached between DSG TAG Systems and the plaintiff, pursuant to which DSG TAG Systems agreed to pay the plaintiff $86,780 CDN in monthly installations of $5,423.75 CDN over a period of sixteen consecutive months, the first payment commencing April 20, 2016.

 

On October 17, 2016, the Supreme Court of British Columbia made a new order after we did not make the above-mentioned payments on schedule to the shareholder per the settlement agreement. DSG TAG was ordered to repay the remaining loan plus costs in the amount of $77,589 to the shareholder in 14 monthly payments of $5,500 each plus $589 at the 15th month starting February 15, 2017.

 

On September 7, 2016, a vendor has filed a Complaint for Damage in Florida (Case Number: CACE-16-016663) to recover unpaid invoice amount of $27,335 plus interest of $4,939. The invoice was not paid due to a dispute that DSG TAG did not think that vendor had delivered the service according to the agreement between the two parties. On May 31, 2017, the Company was ordered to repay the total invoice amount of $22,396 plus interest of $7,722 as well as costs and reasonable attorney fees incurred in this action totaling $9,971. The Company has accrued liabilities related to this matter in the financial statements. As of June 30, 2017, the Company not yet made any payments.

On May 31, 2017, in response to the Company’s refusal to process further conversion notices, the Company received legal notice that a lendor of the Company would be commencing all collection efforts to recover convertible loans of $245,889. The letter also served as notice of an obligation to maintain all documents and records, including electronic information.

 

We may, from time to time, be party to litigation and subject to claims incident to the ordinary course of business. As our growth continues, we may become party to an increasing number of litigation matters and claims. The outcome of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, and the resolution of any future matters could materially affect our future financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
