DIGITAL BRAND MEDIA & MARKETING GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED 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.) is an OTC:QB listed company. The Company was organized under the laws of the State of Florida on September 29, 1998.

On March 20, 2007, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the "Agreement") with Atlantic Network Holdings Limited ("ANHL"), New Media Television (Europe) Limited ("NMTV"), and Certain Outside Stockholders to acquire all of the outstanding shares of NMTV. ANHL was a Guernsey company limited by shares and NMTV is a United Kingdom private company limited by shares. The transaction was subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions, including the satisfactory completion of the audit of ANHL/NMTV's financial statements for each of its past three fiscal years. The conditions of closing were not met by ANHL/NMTV et al and the agreement was rescinded via 8-K/A on March 30, 2010.

Digital Brand Media & Marketing Group, Inc. (f/k/a RTG Ventures, Inc.) (the “Company”) entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”), on March 31, 2010, with Cloud Channel Limited which was subsequently re-named as RTG Ventures (Europe) Limited in July 2010 (“RTG Ventures (Europe)”). Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding capital stock of RTG Ventures (Europe) from its stockholders for consideration consisting of Convertible Preferred Shares of Digital Brand Media & Marketing Group, Inc. (f/k/a RTG Ventures, Inc.) according to the derivative valuation methodologies outlined in the Share Exchange Agreement of Stylar Limited, a/k/a Digital Clarity. RTG Ventures (Europe) has been valued 12 months forward “notionally” one year hence. An 8-K/A was filed in September 2010 containing audited financials of the acquisition of Stylar Limited which completed the transaction. Shareholders converted the preferred shares into common stock using the average share price of the 30 days preceding September 3, 2011 which provided a share price of $0.016083. The methodology provided for a valuation of 4X net profit. All preferred stock was held by Digital Brand Media & Marketing Group's transfer agent for the 12 month period ending September 3, 2011. All voting shares are held by management.

Subsequent to the close of the fiscal year 2011 following substantial investment, the Company conducted a structural review of its total product and services offering. The review was carried out by the Board of Directors. The result was to bring technology development being outsourced directly into the Company to steward on a daily basis and any activities which were not revenue generating in the near term were eliminated.

Certain business lines were eliminated from the Business Plan immediately. In October, 2011 the joint venture with iPayu was mutually withdrawn and in December, 2011 the acquisition of Bitemark Ltd. was rescinded. The companies reverted to the same position each held prior to the contracts. The rescission of the Bitemark Ltd. share purchase agreement was included as an exhibit to the filing for the 2011 fiscal year even though it constituted a subsequent event at the time.

As a further result of the review, the Company has also agreed to strategically focus 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 position the company in a strong, forward looking structure. Digital Clarity operates in the growing area of digital marketing that helps companies make the most 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.

During the last quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company entered into an agreement with BrandEntertain. Digital Brand Media & Marketing Group, Inc. (f/k/a RTG Ventures, Inc.) and Brand Entertain have agreed to restructure their agreement retroactively to June 11, 2012. BrandEntertain is a partnership and there were certain issues with partnership financials which suggested the business combination be construed as a collaboration/cooperative venture, rather than an acquisition. Upon analysis, one year following the initial transaction, the agreement was rescinded and no consideration was received by BrandEntertain.

On March 5, 2013, Digital Brand Media & Marketing Group, Inc. filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation to change its name from “RTG Ventures, Inc.” to “Digital Brand Media & Marketing Group, Inc.” In connection with the name change, the Company’s trading symbol changed from “RTGV” to “DBMM” (the “Symbol Change”). The Amendment was effective as of March 20, 2013. The Name Change and Symbol Change have been reflected in the Company’s ticker symbol as of April 8, 2013.

Also on March 5, 2013, Digital Brand Media & Marketing Group, Inc. received approval from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) for its 100 to 1 reverse stock split. 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.

A summary of the business is: 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.

Going Concern

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Company has an accumulated deficit of approximately $11,415,000 and a negative working capital at November 30, 2013 of approximately $2,242,000. The Company has incurred a net loss of approximately $541,000 for the three months ended November 30, 2013. 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 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 accruals) 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 unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts 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 with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2013.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Consolidation

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

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash in banks. The Company considers cash equivalents to include all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

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. At November 30, 2013 and August 31, 2013, the Company recognized $7,207 as allowance for doubtful accounts, respectively.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is 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

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

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

Use of Estimates

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

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes utilizing the liability method of accounting. Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on differences between financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates in effect in years in which differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts that are expected to be realized.

Earnings (loss) per common share

The Company utilizes the guidance per FASB Codification “ASC 260 "Earnings Per Share". Basic earnings per share is calculated on the weighted effect of all common shares issued and outstanding, and is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share, which is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares used in the basic earnings per share calculation, plus the number of common shares that would be issued assuming conversion of all potentially dilutive securities outstanding, is not presented separately as it is anti-dilutive. Such securities have been excluded from the per share computations as of November 30, 2013 and 2012.

Derivative Liabilities

The Company assessed the classification of its derivative financial instruments as of November 30, 2013, which consist of convertible instruments and rights to shares of the Company’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.

During the quarter ended November 30, 2013, 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., Black Scholes), the expected volatility, the implied risk 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 Company’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:




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 November 30, 2013, with the exception of its convertible notes payable and derivative liability. The carrying amounts of these liabilities at November 30, 2013 approximate their respective fair value based on the Company’s incremental borrowing rate.

Cash is considered to be highly liquid and easily tradable as of November 30, 2013 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 for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”.

Professional standards 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. Professional standards also provide an exception to this rule when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional as defined under professional standards as “The Meaning of “Conventional Convertible Debt Instrument”.

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

ASC 815-40 provides that, among other things, generally, if an event is not within the entity’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 in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation.” ASC 718 requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity based compensation.

Foreign Currency Translation

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

Business Combinations

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

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

A variety of accounting standards have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require 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 quarter ended November 30, 2013 to determine their impact, if any, on our financial statements. The Company does not expect the adoption of any of these standards to have a material impact once adopted.

Background

DBMM is an OTC:QB listed company. Subsequent to the close of the fiscal year 2011 following substantial investment, the Company conducted a structural review of its total product and services offering. The review was carried out by the Board of Directors. The result was to bring technology development being outsourced directly into the Company to steward on a daily basis and any activities which were not revenue generating in the near term were eliminated. It was unanimously agreed that the company would adopt a lean approach that focused on the relationships and partnerships. To that end, the Company has added significant partnerships through Letters of Intent, Joint Ventures and various collaborative structures involving revenue sharing arrangements.

Operations Overview/Outlook

Operationally, 2013 has been important in continuing the direction of the Company and steering it toward a scaled, sustainable growth plan. The model developed in fiscal 2012 has been reinforced and is differentiating to clients, therefore, the model will continue into fiscal 2014.

Entertainment/Fashion/Sports/Automotive/Ecommerce Solutions

DBMM is taking its strengths including its relationships to build its business focus on a wide array of industries. The Company, under very competitive global market conditions and growing development needs, continues to identify partnership opportunities. Utilizing successful models with existing clients, the outlook remains strong for the future.

The heart of the business is the marketing consultancy. Understanding each client and developing the model to individualize the outlook has been essential. This kind of close relationship with the client resulted in Digital Clarity being considered a close professional advisor.

In fiscal year 2014, the Company will continue to focus on the positive results of the last year and use that model to expand geographic reach with existing and new partners.

Digital Marketing Services

2013 continues to see exponential growth in the adoption of Social Media as communication, marketing and engagement avenues. An acceptance of change is driving revenue. The future growth in mobile search is on of the fastest growing ancillary businesses. It was clear that the direction, talent and growth of the Company is in its human capital and outside relationships which must be proactive in order to differentiate itself from competition.

The clear opportunity is at the foundation of the Company, namely the need to expedite and encourage development in the digital marketing services sector. The marketing services product is labor intensive and thus the Company must jumpstart the growth by significant capital infusion in fiscal year 2014 to grow simultaneously in multiple geographies.

As a foundation, the financial review showed that Digital Clarity continued to be revenue generating and remained cash flow positive.

Key Milestones

During 2013, Digital Clarity continued to make inroads into established and emerging markets. In 2012, as part of this emphasis, that was greatly enhanced and supported by the Head of US Operations, Steven Baughman, the company won a major deal with a US based entertainment group. The group was seeking a seasoned agency that could fulfill its complex specifications and grow with its aggressive expansion plans throughout the US and beyond. Digital Clarity was awarded the contract, removing the competitors to win the design and development of the new website centered on an intelligent design as well as a strong understanding and execution of social media integration. This model became the template for contracts going forward.

DBMM signed a Letter of Intent with Video Media Holdings, Inc. (VMS) to become its reseller in Europe with other revenue streams being explored as well. The value proposition for VMS strengthens DBMM’s offering to its clients. VMS Holdings, Inc. develops a mobile application for sharing videos. Its mobile application allows companies and users to send and receive video content to and from a mobile phone; subscribe for a favorite celebrity, actor, TV-channel, or team and get video updates; and create your own channel and become a broadcaster, as well as serves as a tool for mobile marketing and sales. The company's mobile application is available for Android, BlackBerry, iPhone, and Symbian devices. It distributes its mobile application through distributors, and mobile device and application stores in Africa, Europe, Asia, North America, and South Africa. It serves mobile operators and media companies, government organizations and law enforcement agencies, premium content providers and retailers, sports clubs, and celebrities worldwide.

DBMM finalized an agreement with New York based digital marketing automation platform, BRANDmini LLC, to strategically broaden BRANDmini's delivery of its SaaS (Software as a Service) application; primarily looking after those larger clients seeking to leverage a more bespoke digital marketing service abroad. BRANDmini is a transactional marketing automation platform for creating, serving, and measuring marketing campaigns across multiple online channels and mobile devices.

BRANDmini's innovative In-Page technology empowers brands to engage and transact with consumers while they are browsing.

These two partnerships illustrate the execution of DBMM’s strategic direction which strengthens the Company through its revenue sharing relationships resulting in additional revenue streams.

Many clients in the UK such as Mercedes Benz, UK, Wharfside and Duvet & Pillow Warehouse have experienced increases in revenue and increases in conversion as a result of Digital Clarity’s strategic direction. These case studies are excellent resources for new clients.

The need for DBMM to reach Global Markets

It is clear that the economy continues its slow recovery from the global effect of market forces which impact on all areas of commerce and trade. 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 2014. BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India and China) will be the next 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 will while creating low-cost content. According to McKinsey & Co, India and China are driving the next digital revolution via new mobile devices.

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

The US remains the center of the entertainment, technology and digital industries and as such the emphasis looking forward to 2014 and building on the recent success in the last quarter of the 2013 calendar year means that DBMM and its agency Digital Clarity are perfectly positioned to spring board into this market using the successful models established over the last two years.

The digital market continues to be focused on New York and Los Angeles therefore DBMM’s 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 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 Company’s 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 Clarity’s reach in this region and help take established US agencies into the European region.

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

Middle East

The Middle East is a fertile market for heritage based US and European brands looking for entry into this lucrative market. The fastest area for growth in this sector is to leverage on the luxury arena. Digital Clarity is already in discussions with a number of different luxury groups each with different brands within the group.

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

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

Support for growth in the Middle East

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

Dubai commands around 30 per cent of Middle East luxury market and around 60 per cent of the UAE’s luxury market

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

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

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

Financial Overview/Outlook

DBMM began the 2013 fiscal year with significant challenges while continuing to streamline the Company which resulted in a reduction of 39% in operating expenses coupled with a decrease in other expenses of 56%. While the Company is still operating at a loss, the loss was 46% less than 2012. The focus remains on the growth of digital marketing services and technology driven through Digital Clarity. The cost of sales has decreased by 19% while gross profit increased by 3%, which continued into the first quarter of fiscal 2014. 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.

The Company restructured through a reverse stock split in early 2013 coincident with a name change and trading symbol change effective in April, 2013.

Unfortunately all of the corporate realignment took a significant portion of the fiscal year, thus a significant capital raise was deferred until 2014 in order to follow the fiscal year 2013 audit. In the interim, the Company relied on short-term financing, a practice which we do not expect to continue in 2014 when it will be replaced by long term financing.

However, the weakened share price remains a challenge to the Company. On that basis, in the last two years having revenues of approximately $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 2014 fiscal year. Professional advisors suggested that in order to position the Company successfully with the long-term financial community, a restructuring was required. The Company concluded its reverse split and name change and post - fiscal year 2013 filing of the 10-K, will be in a good position to continue discussions with a number of target groups. In addition an investment bank in New York is collaborating with DBMM in the identification of a significant acquisition in our industry sector. Initial due diligence is now taking place.

In summary, DBMM’s financing efforts have always been in short term, small amounts of working capital. That is going to change in 2014. 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 partnered relationships. This strategy is the most efficient and effective path to grow DBMM quickly into multiple revenue streams. We have proven the model in the last year. 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 2014 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.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We are not currently a party to, or otherwise involved with, any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

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

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.

Significant and Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion of the financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of any contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Management regularly reviews its estimates and assumptions, which are based on historical factors and other factors that are believed to be relevant under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions, estimates or conditions.

Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. See “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional disclosure of the application of these and other accounting policies.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the 2012 and 2013 fiscal years, we migrated the technology in-house and concentrated on activities to grow Digital Clarity organically and by acquisition. We spent fiscal year 2012 establishing a client model for existing and new customers which can be exported geographically, continued the successful model into 2013 and will expand the base in 2014.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of the Results for the Quarters Ended November 30, 2013 and 2012

We currently generate revenue through our Pay-Per-Click Advertising, Search Engine Marketing, Search Engine Optimization Services, Web Design, Social Media, Digital analytics and Advisory Services.

General and administrative costs decreased 27% to approximately $47,000 from approximately $64,000 for the quarters ended November 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The lower fiscal 2014 balance was due to the Company’s continued trend of streamlining its overhead keeping its expenditures low compared to prior years.

Payroll increased for the quarter ended 2013 by 149% to approximately $196,000. The increase is due to the fair value of $144,985 related to the preferred stock issued to officers of the Company.

Professional fees (which include accounting/auditing, consulting and legal fees) decreased by approximately $3,500 for the quarter ended November 30, 2013. This slight decrease in fiscal 2013 is primarily attributable to the accounting and legal fees remaining steady in fiscal 2014.

Amortization and depreciation for the quarters ended November 30, 2013 and 2012 was approximately $166,000 and $58,000 respectively. The increase is due to the amendment of $202,500 in loans which were restructured as convertible notes in fiscal 2014.

Interest expense for the quarters ended November 30, 2013 and 2012 was approximately $64,000 and $18,000 respectively, an increase of approximately $46,000 or 258%.
