Direct Communication Solutions, Inc. Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited and Expressed in US dollars unless otherwise stated) For the Three and Six Month Periods Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
Direct Communication Solutions, Inc. (the “Company” or “DCS”) was incorporated in Florida on September 9, 2006 and reincorporated in Delaware in April 2017. The Company is a provider of solutions for the Internet of Things (“IoT”), including monitoring-as-a-service (“MaaS”) solutions for the telematics market. The Company’s range of products includes GPS devices, modems, embedded modules, routers and mobile tracking machine-to-machine (“M2M”) devices, communications and applications software and cloud services.
The Company’s M2M products and solutions enable devices to communicate with each other and with server or cloud-based application infrastructures and include M2M embedded modules, integrated M2M communications devices and SaaS delivery platforms, including MiFleet, which provides fleet and vehicle SaaS telematics, MiSensors, which provides easy M2M device management and service enablement for wireless sensors and MiFailover which provides high-speed wireless internet failover to small and medium sized businesses as a redundancy solution to continue to run their business in the event the internet isn’t available.
On October 2, 2017, the Company completed its acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of Two Lions Technologies, a private Canadian company (“Two Lions”). Concurrently with the Acquisition, the Company changed the name of Two Lions to Direct Communications Solutions, Canada (“DCS Canada”). DCS Canada has been inactive since its acquisition.
On January 7, 2020, the Company completed an Initial Public Offering listing on the Canadian Securities Exchange (Note 11)
On June 19, 2020, the Company became listed in the United States on the OTCQB Market and on December 16, 2020 graduated to the OTCQX Market.
Going Concern
The accompanying condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of the Company’s assets and the satisfaction of its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has recently incurred operating losses and as of June 30, 2021, had an accumulated deficit of $6,225,137. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had available cash totaling $964,356. The Company may finance its operations through a variety of ways, including the issuance of debt or sales of equity. Successful transition to attaining profitable operations is dependent upon achieving a level of revenues adequate to support its cost structure. If events or circumstances occur such that the Company does not meet its operating plan as expected, the Company may be required to reduce planned research and development activities, incur additional restructuring charges or reduce other operating expenses which may raise substantial doubt on its ability to achieve its intended business objectives. These additional reductions in expenditures, if required, could have an adverse impact on the Company’s ability to achieve certain of its business objectives.
In March 2020 the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, potentially leading to an economic downturn. It is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on the Company’s business or ability to raise funds.

Direct Communication Solutions, Inc. Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited and Expressed in US dollars unless otherwise stated) For the Three and Six Month Periods Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
Statement of compliance
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and their interpretations as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in conformity with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and do not include all the information required for full annual consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financials for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Basis of consolidation
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for financial instruments classified as financial instruments at fair value through profit and loss, which are stated at their fair value. In addition, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and its wholly controlled subsidiaries. These consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented in United States dollars, which is the functional currency of the Company. Control exists when the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its direct wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries:
| Name of Subsidiary | Place of Incorporation | Ownership |
|---|---|---|
| Direct Communication Solutions, Canada(i) | British Columbia, Canada | 100% |
(i) The accounts of this subsidiary has been included in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements from October 2, 2017 onwards.
Foreign currency translation
Items included in the financial statements of each entity in the Company are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”) and has been determined for each entity within the Company. The functional currency of Direct Communication Solutions, Inc., is the U.S dollar. DCS Canada’s functional currency is in Canadian Dollar. The functional currency determinations were conducted through an analysis of the consideration factors identified in IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates .
Transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency are translated at the exchange rates in effect on the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange in effect as at the statement of financial position date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the time of the acquisition of the assets or assumption of the liabilities. Foreign currency differences arising on translation are recognized in the statement of operating income (loss).
Use of estimates and judgements
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (cont’d)
- i) Critical accounting estimates
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. Information about critical estimates in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated interim financial statements are, but not limited to the following:
-
Allowance for doubtful accounts receivable - The Company makes allowances for doubtful accounts based on its best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in existing accounts receivable. These are determined based on historical write-off experiences and customer economic data.
-
Provision for excess and obsolete inventory - Inventory is valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost of inventory includes cost of purchase (purchase price, import duties, transport, handling, and other costs directly attributable to the acquisition of inventories), cost of conversion, and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Net realizable value for inventories is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Provisions are made in profit or loss of the current period on any difference between book value and net realizable value.
-
Fair value of stock options and warrants - Determining the fair value of warrants and stock options requires judgments related to the choice of a pricing model, the estimation of stock price volatility, the expected forfeiture rate and the expected term of the underlying instruments. Any changes in the estimates or inputs utilized to determine fair value could have a significant impact on the Company’s future operating results or on other components of shareholders’ equity (deficiency).
-
Income taxes - Tax provisions are based on enacted or substantively enacted laws. Changes in those laws could affect amounts recognized in profit or loss both in the period of change, which would include any impact on cumulative provisions, and future periods. Deferred tax assets, if any, are recognized to the extent it is considered probable that those assets will be recoverable. This involves an assessment of when those deferred tax assets are likely to reverse.
-
Estimated product returns -Revenue from product sales is recognized net of estimated sales discounts, credits, rebates and allowances. The Company recognizes product returns when incurred due to the infrequent occurrence of returns.
ii) Critical accounting judgments
Information about critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements are, but are not limited to, the following:
-
Deferred income taxes – judgments are made by management to determine the likelihood of whether deferred income tax assets at the end of the reporting period will be realized from future taxable earnings. To the extent that assumptions regarding future profitability change, there can be an increase or decrease in the amounts recognized in respect of deferred tax assets as well as the amounts recognized in profit or loss in the period in which the change occurs.
-
Going concern – As disclosed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements.

(c) Stock options
In October 2017, the Company’s board of directors and stockholders approved the 2017 Stock Plan under which 3,500,000 shares of common stock are reserved for the granting of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and performance awards to employees, directors and consultants. Recipients of stock option awards are eligible to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price equal to no less than the estimated fair market value of such stock on the date of grant. The maximum term of awards granted under the 2017 Plan is ten years and vesting is determined by the board of directors. Stock awards are generally not exercisable prior to the applicable vesting date, unless otherwise accelerated under the terms of the applicable stock plan agreement. Unvested shares of the Company’s common stock issued in connection with an early exercise allowed by the Company may be repurchased by the Company upon termination of the optionee’s service with the Company.
In June 2019, the Board of Directors and a majority of the stockholders approved the following amendments to the 2017 Stock Plan: (a) increase in the number of authorized shares for issuance to 4,100,000 and (b) add an annual evergreen provision that will adjust the number of authorized shares reserved for issuance to an amount equal to 29.99% of the Company’s issued common stock. As a result of the evergreen provision, the number of authorized shares for issuance increased to 4,528,040 effective January 2021.

The Company uses a Black-Scholes option valuation model to determine the fair value of stock-based compensation. The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of a peer group of publicly-traded companies. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield on the measurement date of a zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bond whose maturity period approximately equals the option’s expected term. The expected life represents the time the options granted are expected to be outstanding. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and adjusted, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

14. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The CEO has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk management framework.
The Company defines capital as consisting of loans, credit facility, and shareholder’s equity (deficiency). The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to support the creation of shareholder value, as well as to ensure that the Company is able to meet its financial obligations as they become due.
The Company manages its capital structure to maximize its financial flexibility making adjustments to it in response to changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets and business opportunities. The Company does not presently utilize any quantitative measures to monitor its capital, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain the future development of the business. Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable.
At June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements or debt covenants. The change to the Company’s approach to capital management during the periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 relate to the issuance of shares in an initial public offering.

Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable.
15. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values.
Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable market data.
The fair values of the Company’s cash, trade receivables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and credit facility and long term debt approximate carrying value, which is the amount recorded on the consolidated statement of financial position.
The following table illustrates the classification of the Company’s financial instruments within the fair value hierarchy as at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

The Company is exposed to varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks:
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company places its cash with institutions of high credit worthiness. Management has assessed there to be a low level of credit risk associated with its cash balances.
The Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, management also considers the demographics of the Company's customer base, including the default risk of the industry and country in which customers operate, as these factors may have an influence on credit risk. Approximately 33% of the Company's revenue (2020 - 28%) is attributable to sales transactions with one customer (2020 - two customers).
The Company has established a credit policy under which each major new customer is analyzed individually for creditworthiness before the Company's standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. The Company's review includes external ratings, when available, and in some cases bank references. Purchase limits and terms are established for each customer and reviewed periodically. Customers that fail to meet the Company's benchmark creditworthiness may transact with the Company only on a prepayment basis.
In monitoring customer credit risk, customers are grouped according to their credit characteristics, including whether they are an individual or legal entity, whether they are a wholesale, retail or end-user customer, geographic location, industry, aging profile, maturity and existence of previous financial difficulties. Trade and other receivables relate mainly to the Company's wholesale and retail customers.
Trade and other receivables consist of:
| June 30, 2021 | December 31, 2020 | December 31, 2020 | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Accounts Receivable | $ | 1,681,640 | $ | 1,371,998 |
| Allowance for doubtful accounts | (23,631) | (27,946) | ||

Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company's reputation.
The Company examines current forecasts of its liquidity requirements so as to make certain that there is sufficient cash for its operating needs. These forecasts take into consideration matters such as the Company's plan to use debt for financing its activity, compliance with any required financial covenants and liquidity ratios, and compliance with external requirements such as laws or regulation.
The Company has a credit facility with external funding (Note 9). The Company’s accounts payable and accrued liabilities have contractual terms of 30 to 90 days.
Market risk
- a) Currency Risk
The Company is located in the United States and virtually all transactions including the company’s sales and debt are negotiated in US dollars.
- b) Interest Rate Risk
The Company’s debt has fixed interest rates and are not exposed to interest rate risk until maturity. The Company’s credit facility is variable based on the prime rate. A 1% increase in the prime rate in 2021 would result in approximately $5,000 additional interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2021.
c) Price Risk
Price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices other than those arising from interest rate risk, financial market risk or currency risk. The Company is not exposed to significant price risk.
