**SPECIAL
NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS**
This
Annual Report contains forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based largely on our expectations and are subject
to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. Actual results could differ materially from these forward-looking
statements as a result of, among other factors, risks related to the large amount of our outstanding term loans; history of net losses
and accumulated deficits; reliance on third parties to market, sell and distribute our products; future capital requirements; competition
and technical advances; reliance on a small number of customers for a significant percentage of our revenues; and other risks. In light
of these risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking information contained in this Annual Report will
in fact occur.

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS**
**ABOUT
OUR BRAND DIGITAL CLARITY (DC)**
During
2024 and 2025, Digital Clarity has been pivoting its AI-focused business to make certain it is sustainable.
Digital
Clarity remains at the forefront of driving marketing change and growth and creating lasting value for its clients that is based on a
strong foundation for all stakeholders.
The
business pivot is driven by Digital Clarity, the trading brand for Stylar Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Digital Brand Media &
Marketing Group, Inc (DBMM), through its offices in London, England. Digital Clarity is a leading provider of marketing consulting and
advisory solutions. It empowers businesses to achieve their marketing goals through strategic insights, innovative use of technologies,
AI, and a framework that accelerates growth.
The
company has a strong track record of success in delivering tangible results and, as a public company subsidiary, Digital Clarity is at
the forefront of driving marketing change to accelerate growth and create lasting value for its clients. The teams experience in business
transformation provides leading strategy, deployment, and measurement to its core market sectors including SaaS, Blockchain, Fintech,
Software Sales, and Technology. Digital Claritys focus is on working with B2B tech leaders, delivering growth through a unique combination
of leveraging its proven strategy, augmented with AI.
The
Company continues to develop and roll out marketing consulting offerings from its operating base in the UK and increasing its presence
in the larger markets in the US. As an example, DC has developed a footprint in the U.S., expanding to other metropolitan areas that
have a focus on technology, AI and software. The intent has always been a strategy of a cash infusion to immediately correlate to build
back demand and increase revenues.
Following
the challenges of Brexit, a global pandemic, and external factors beyond the Companys control, the SEC Matter was finally resolved by
the Commissions Final Order of the ALJs Standing Order, by Dismissal, which occurred on June 2, 2023. During 2024-2025 the Company
was met with economic challenges in interest rates and inflation amidst geopolitical unrest facing clients, and an evolving digital marketing
landscape. These challenges, while significant, are now behind us. Digital Clarity has not merely survived these headwinds but has used
this period to fundamentally transform its business model, emerging stronger and positioned for substantial growth.
**THE
TRANSFORMATION: FROM COMMODITIZED SERVICES TO AI-POWERED CONSULTANCY**
During
fiscal 2024 and into 2025, Digital Clarity has been executing a strategic pivot that repositions the company from a traditional digital
marketing agency competing in an increasingly commoditized services market into a specialized go-to-market (GTM) management consultancy
that leverages artificial intelligence to drive client transformation and growth.
1
[Table of Contents](#TableOfContents)
This
pivot addresses a critical market reality: pay-per-click advertising, search engine optimization, and conventional social media management
services have become commoditized offerings with compressed margins and limited strategic impact.
According
to research from the Boston Consulting Group, B2B companies waste approximately $2 trillion annually on outdated, ineffective sales and
marketing approaches. This represents both the problem Digital Clarity now solves and the immense market opportunity we address.
Rather
than competing in the crowded agency space, Digital Clarity now serves as strategic partner to Chief Executive Officers, Chief Revenue
Officers, Chief Marketing Officers, and fractional growth leaders at B2B technology companies. We architect comprehensive
go-to-market strategies and provide both the strategic framework and AI-powered technology tools to execute those strategies at scale.
Our clients dont purchase discrete marketing services; they engage Digital Clarity to transform how they identify, reach, and
convert their target markets.
**EMPLOYEES**
As
of August 31, 2025, the Company had 7 full-time employees.
**COMPETITION**
There
is strong competition in the digital marketing arena, though with the right level of investment and marketing, Digital Clarity has a
confident outlook in using its experience to win new business in both local and international markets. DBMM has significant business
relationships in place because it has a differentiating model.

**ITEM
1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS**

**ITEM
1C. CYBERSECURITY**
Organizations
in our industry are frequently confronted with a broad range of cybersecurity threats, ranging from uncoordinated, individual attempts
to gain unauthorized access to an organizations information technology (IT) environment to sophisticated and targeted
cyberattacks sponsored by foreign governments and criminal enterprises. Although we employ comprehensive measures to prevent, detect,
address, and mitigate these threats, a cybersecurity incident could potentially result in the misappropriation, destruction, corruption,
or unavailability of critical data, personal identifiable information, and other confidential or proprietary data (our own or that of
third parties) and the disruption of business operations. The potential consequences of a material cybersecurity incident include remediation
and restoration costs, reputational damage, litigation with third parties, and diminution in the value of our investment in research
and development, which in turn could adversely affect our competitiveness and results of operations. Accordingly, cybersecurity is an
important part of our Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) program, and the Company seeks to address cybersecurity risks through
a comprehensive, cross-functional approach.
The
Companys cybersecurity policies, standards, processes, and practices for assessing, identifying, and managing material risks from
cybersecurity threats and responding to cybersecurity incidents are integrated into the Companys risk management program and are
based on recognized frameworks established by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. The Company has established controls
and procedures, including an Incident Response Plan, that provide for the identification, analysis, notification, escalation, communication,
and remediation of data security incidents at appropriate levels so that so that decisions regarding the public disclosure and reporting
of such incidents can be made by management in a timely manner. In particular, the Companys Incident Response Plan (i) is designed
to identify and detect information security threats through various mechanisms, such as through security controls and third-party disclosures,
and (ii) sets forth a process to (a) analyze any such threats detected within the Companys IT environment or within a third-partys
IT environment, (b) contain cybersecurity threats under various circumstances, and (c) better ensure the Company can recover from cybersecurity
incidents to a normal state of business operations. The Company has established and maintains other incident response and recovery plans
that address the Companys response to a cybersecurity incident.
2
[Table of Contents](#TableOfContents)
As
part of its cybersecurity program, the Company deploys measures to deter, prevent, detect, respond to and mitigate cybersecurity threats,
including firewalls, anti-malware, intrusion prevention and detection systems, identity and access controls, software patching protocols,
and physical security measures. The Company periodically assesses and tests the Companys policies, standards, processes, and practices
that are designed to address cybersecurity (including artificial intelligence-related) threats and incidents, including by assessing
current threat intelligence, and conducting tabletop exercises and vulnerability and security testing. The Company has a process to report
material results of such testing and assessments to the board, and periodically adjusts the Companys cybersecurity program based
on these exercises. The Company engages third parties to conduct part of such testing, including hiring consultants and third parties
to conduct our threat assessments and supplement the monitoring of such threats by utilizing online data tools. The Company identifies
and oversees cybersecurity risks presented by third parties and their systems from a risk-based perspective. The Company also conducts
cybersecurity training for employees (including mandatory training programs for system users).
Many
of the Companys IT systems operate with a hosted architecture or by third-party service providers, and if these third-party IT
environments fail to operate properly, our systems could stop functioning for a period of time, which could put our users at risk. Accordingly,
our ability to keep our business operating is highly dependent on the proper and efficient operation of IT service providers, and our
vendor management process is an important part of our risk mitigation strategy. In particular, we obtain reports from our vendors handling
sensitive data as to their efficacy and efficiency in managing cybersecurity issues and follow-up with them on any potential or actual
issues. Notwithstanding, if there is a catastrophic event, such as an adverse weather condition, natural disaster, terrorist attack,
security breach, or other extraordinary event, the Company, and our service providers, may be unable to provide our products or services
for the duration of the event and/or a time thereafter.
Considering
the pervasive and increasing threat from cyberattacks, the board and the audit committee, with input from management, assess the Companys
cybersecurity threats and the measures implemented by the Company to mitigate and prevent cyberattacks. The audit committee consults
with management regarding ongoing cybersecurity initiatives, and requests management to report to the audit committee or the full board
regularly on their assessment of the Companys cybersecurity program and risks, including artificial intelligence. Both the audit
committee and the full board receive regular reports from senior management on cybersecurity risks and timely reports regarding any cybersecurity
incident that meets established reporting thresholds, as well as ongoing updates regarding any such incident until it has been addressed.
Our board has risk management experience.

Statements and Supplementary Data of this Report.
The
Company developed a document called the Creds Deck which provides a description to prospective clients of Digital Claritys value
proposition - https://www.dbmmgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/DBMM_Creds_Deck_2024_2.pdf.
Our
return to normal business in the fourth quarter of 2024 faced challenges as the world shifted and attempted to stabilize a post-COVID
environment with mounting inflation. 2024 was focused on a measured return to normalcy as businesses have faced enormous challenges over
the past few years, and DBMMs operating business Digital Clarity, is no exception. However, for context, it is worth reminding
investors and shareholders that Digital Clarity was acquired by DBMM as a cash-flow positive business with a great reputation and industry
network, winning industry awards.
As
stated in the MD&As for many years since the acquisition of Digital Clarity, the operating business has, in most years, been cash
flow-positive, but the costs of maintaining a public company far exceed the gross profit in the audited financial statements. That was
expected, following the digital business model, though many digital companies do not have any operating revenues while they build the
business. The business is being developed to a to be determined level (TBD), with all capital infusion and revenues (if
any) remaining in the growth model.
Going
into the 2025 fiscal year, the Companys mitigating circumstances have all been positively concluded. The company has returned
to normal trading and is in the process of evolving into a 2025 management consultancy, which will be normal business. The transformation
of a company guided by Digital Clarity as its digital architect demands a seat at the table of decision-makers as the subject
matter experts in the new digital landscape. Digital Clarity has earned that role. The industry as seen today and in the future is described
below:
Fiscal
year 2025 represented a year of disciplined restructuring, renewal, and investment for DBMM, as the Company continued to strengthen its
foundation for sustainable growth through its operating division, Digital Clarity (DC).
Throughout
2024 and 2025, the Company operated in a macroeconomic environment marked by inflationary pressure, cost rationalization, and longer
enterprise sales cycles. Despite these headwinds, DBMM maintained a stable operating posture while strategically investing in its long-term
growth engine: the Digital Clarity Intelligence Engine (DCIE) its proprietary AI platform that underpins future scalability and recurring
revenue potential.
Managements
focus during the fiscal year was threefold:
|
1. | Operational
discipline - maintaining lean operations and optimizing working capital to support reinvestment in research and development; |
|
|
2. | Strategic
repositioning - executing the pivot from a marketing agency to an AI-augmented GTM consultancy;
and | |
|
3. | Technology
acceleration - advancing the DCIE roadmap and aligning talent, partnerships, and IP to future commercialization. |
|
The
Company continues to prioritize strategic growth over short-term revenue volatility, believing this disciplined approach will yield stronger
margins, higher-quality earnings, and greater shareholder value over time.
**REALITIES
TEMPERED BUDGETS AND OUTLOOK - MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY FOLLOWS**
Management
believes DBMM has now completed the foundational phase of its transformation and is entering a growth and commercialization cycle. The
following themes define its forward-looking strategy for FY20262027:
|
1. | Acceleration
of the DCIE Roadmap. Completion of the first deployable version of the Digital Clarity Intelligence Engine and onboarding of pilot clients. |
|
|
2. | Expansion
of GTM Consulting Services. Scaling the GTM advisory business in the U.S. and EMEA, focusing on AI adoption strategy and execution for
B2B enterprises. |
|
|
3. | Diversification
of Revenue Streams. Introduction of subscription and licensing models for DCIE, driving recurring revenue and gross margin expansion. |
|
|
4. | Investor
GTM Audits. Launch of a pre- and post-investment GTM Audit service for private equity and venture capital markets. |
|
|
5. | Capital
Efficiency. Maintain disciplined cost management and reinvestment ratio to support sustainable growth. |
|
5
[Table of Contents](#TableOfContents)
The
Company expects modest revenue growth in run-up to Q1 FY2026, accelerating in FY2026 as the DCIE platform reaches commercialization and
as enterprise demand for AI-driven GTM transformation increases.
*
The
global marketing and consulting industry entered 2025 with heightened caution. According to PwCs Global CEO Survey (2024), 45%
of CEOs cited economic uncertainty and cost inflation as key inhibitors of growth investments. Gartners CMO Spend Survey (2024)
further noted that marketing budgets fell to 7.7% of total company revenue, down from 9.1% in 2023 one of the sharpest contractions
since the pandemic period.
This
environment materially affected procurement cycles, leading to delayed decisions and budget compression, especially in mid-market technology
sectors. However, amid this slowdown, management identified a crucial structural shift: organizations are not abandoning digital transformation
they are refocusing it around AI and efficiency.

Table of Contents
**Digital
Claritys Strategic Response**
Rather
than compete for shrinking tactical budgets, Digital Clarity repositioned itself to:
|
| Move
up the value chain, focusing on strategic GTM advisory engagements that directly tie to revenue outcomes; |
|
|
| Introduce
AI efficiency consulting, helping clients replace inefficient marketing expenditure with intelligent automation; |
|
|
| Invest
in proprietary tools, developing the DCIE platform to serve as both an internal accelerator and a market differentiator. |

Table of Contents
In
summary, 2025 was a transitional yet constructive year for DBMM. While global economic conditions remained challenging, the Company used
the period to invest strategically in AI capability, refine its service model, and position itself for high-margin growth.
Management
believes that DBMMs transformation is timely, deliberate, and sustainable, aligning with long-term trends reshaping how enterprises
approach marketing, sales, and revenue operations in an AI-dominated landscape.

**THE
CASE FOR AI ADAPTATION IN MARKETING GOING FORWARD**
**The
Pivot to AI-Augmented Consulting**
Today,
DCs differentiation lies in its ability to blend consulting rigor with AI-powered execution. Its current portfolio integrates
third-party AI tools while developing its proprietary system, the Digital Clarity Intelligence Engine (DCIE), that will eventually serve
as both an internal operating core and a client-facing product.
This
evolution mirrors macro trends across the global marketing and consulting industries:
|
| AI
adoption accelerating. McKinseys State of AI 2025 reports that 78% of global organizations use AI in at least one business
function, with marketing, sales, and product development leading adoption. |
|
|
| Shift
toward outcome-based consulting. Gartner projects that by 2026, over 60% of consulting engagements will include AI-driven insight delivery. |
|
|
| Explosion
of the AI-enabled services market. IDC forecasts global spending on AI-centric solutions to exceed $300 billion by 2026, growing at a
CAGR above 25%. |
|
Digital
Clarity is strategically positioned at this intersection: where consulting meets machine intelligence.
The
current digital environment, characterized by fragmented consumer journeys, rising customer expectations for personalization, and intensified
competition, demands a strategic pivot away from traditional, manual marketing methodologies. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer
a future-looking experiment; it is the foundational technology that is redefining marketing efficiency, precision, and return on investment
(ROI). For us to maintain and accelerate our competitive advantage, the aggressive adaptation of AI into our core marketing strategy
is not optional, it is a critical imperative.

**THE
DIGITAL CLARITY INTELLIGENCE ENGINE: PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY AS COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE**
Central
to this transformation is the Digital Clarity Intelligence Engine (DCIE), our proprietary AI-driven technology platform currently nearing
completion and moving into pilot deployment with select clients. The DCIE represents substantial development investment and positions
Digital Clarity with a defensible competitive advantage in a rapidly evolving market.
The
DCIE is an integrated suite of sophisticated modules designed specifically for the complexities of B2B technology marketing and go-to-market
execution:
**The
Insight Engine Optimisation (IEO)** module leverages machine learning to provide deep insights into market trends, customer behavior,
and competitive landscapes, enabling data-driven decisions that traditional analytics tools cannot deliver.
**The
Strategic Navigator Suite (SNS**) streamlines strategy development through sector-specific diagnostics, workflow automation, and scenario
planning, transforming strategy formulation into a repeatable, scalable methodology enhanced by AI while retaining essential human judgment.
**The
Data Qualification & Alignment Framework (DQAF)** ensures that data used in strategy development is accurate, relevant, and aligned
with client objectives, addressing the critical challenge of unreliable or skewed data that undermines many AI implementations.
**The
Market Adaptation and Prediction Engine (MAPE)** uses AI-powered predictive analytics to forecast market shifts and identify emerging
opportunities, enabling clients to adapt strategies proactively rather than reactively.
**The
Digital Transformation Facilitator (DTF)** supports companies through comprehensive digital transformation journeys, integrating digital
marketing strategies with broader business objectives and facilitating seamless transformation efforts aligned with future digital landscapes.
**The
Collaborative Innovation Platform (CIP)** integrates insights from clients, consultants, and external experts to support ideation,
development, and implementation of innovative strategies, leveraging collective intelligence across stakeholder groups.
Importantly,
the DCIE operates on both public large language models (including Anthropics Claude, OpenAIs GPT, and Googles Gemini) and private
LLMs that maintain complete security for sensitive internal company data.
This
hybrid architecture provides cutting-edge AI capabilities while ensuring proprietary information never leaves secure client environments,
addressing the data privacy and security concerns that inhibit AI adoption at many enterprises.
The
DCIE technology stack represents significant standalone value for DBMM. As proprietary software with immediate commercial application
across a large addressable market, the DCIE can be licensed, white-labeled for strategic partners, or scaled across customer segments
beyond our current direct client base, creating multiple potential revenue streams and enhancing shareholder value independent of our
consulting services.
**THE
INVESTMENT INTELLIGENCE PLATFORM: EXPANDING THE ADDRESSABLE MARKET**
On
top of the above, Digital Clarity is developing the Digital Clarity Investment Intelligence Platform (DCIIP), a specialized offering
for venture capital firms, private equity investors, and their portfolio companies.
DCIIP
provides comprehensive pre-investment and post-investment go-to-market audit capabilities that enable investors to de-risk investments
by identifying GTM weaknesses, competitive vulnerabilities, and growth opportunities before capital is committed. For portfolio companies,
DCIIP conducts systematic assessments that reveal gaps between current GTM capabilities and the requirements for achieving targeted growth,
then prescribes specific, actionable improvements.

Table of Contents
This
addresses a critical need in the investment community. While investors scrutinize financial metrics, technology assets, and market opportunity
with sophisticated diligence processes, go-to-market capability often receives superficial evaluation despite being the determining factor
in whether a promising company captures its market opportunity. DCIIP brings the same analytical rigor to GTM assessment that investors
apply to financial and technical due diligence.
Early
discussions with independent investment firms have validated demand for this capability, and we anticipate DCIIP contributing meaningfully
to revenue growth as we formalize partnerships throughout fiscal 2026 and beyond.
**STRATEGIC
IMPACT**
****
Once
fully deployed, DCIE will:
|
| Convert
decades of consulting IP into a scalable digital asset. |
|
|
| Provide
predictive, prescriptive, and generative capabilities within one unified environment. |
|
|
| Enable
recurring, high-margin software revenue in addition to advisory income. |
|
|
| Strengthen
DBMMs competitive moat through proprietary data and algorithms. |
|
Management
believes DCIE will become the centerpiece of DBMMs future valuation, unlocking an inflection point where the Company transitions
from service-driven to technology-driven growth.
**MARKET
ALIGNMENT**
****
Industry
analysts such as IDC* and *Gartner* predict that by 2028, AI-enabled revenue intelligence platforms will represent a $40$50
billion market segment, growing at over 25% CAGR. DBMMs early move into this space positions it as a first mover among smaller,
public companies with a focused GTM niche.
DCIE
embodies DBMMs future: a convergence of strategic consultancy and proprietary software that scales insight, execution, and value
creation.
**DEMONSTRATED
CLIENT SUCCESS**
Digital
Claritys client roster has included marquee B2B technology brands: Adobe Workfront, Xerox, Aurigo, Atos, Business Optix, Revo, Britannic
Technologies, Bentley Systems, Kahua, Text Anywhere, and Synergy Sky.
These
relationships have generated documented outcomes: 60% growth in annual recurring revenue for Kahua, 85% year-over-year growth for Bentley
Systems, 44% sales growth for Text Anywhere, and 48% increase in enterprise sales for Adobe Workfront.
These
results validate our strategic methodology and suggest that combining proven frameworks with DCIE technology enhancement will deliver
even more compelling outcomes.
By
moving up the value chain from execution vendor to strategic partner, Digital Clarity addresses the most critical pain points faced by
modern businesses: complex, elongated sales cycles, geopolitical and socio-economic market noise, and the pervasive challenge of maintaining
meaningful growth velocity.
This
pivot positions DBMM not merely for incremental revenue growth, but for exponential value creation built on high-margin, advisory, and
proprietary technology services designed for the future of commerce. According to trusted market data, the global market for AI consulting
services, which is our new primary vertical, is projected for substantial growth through 2030, reinforcing the timeliness and massive
potential of our strategic shift.
Digital
Clarity remains at the forefront of driving marketing change and growth and creating lasting value for its clients based on a strong
foundation for all stakeholders.
The
market has spoken: the global AI in marketing industry is projected to reach over $107.5 billion by 2028, growing at a Compound Annual
Growth Rate (CAGR) of approximately 36.6% (SEO.com). Our commitment to integrating and scaling AI across our marketing stack is therefore
a non-negotiable step to capture efficiency gains, meet sophisticated customer demands, and ensure our long-term relevance and growth
in an irrevocably altered digital world. We view this adaptation not as an expense, but as the essential investment in our future competitive
infrastructure.

**THE
CASE FOR AI ADAPTATION IN MARKETING GOING FORWARD**
Artificial
Intelligence (AI) is no longer an experimental toolit is rapidly becoming the core operating system of modern commerce.
For
marketing and go-to-market (GTM) functions, AI now defines competitiveness, efficiency, and long-term enterprise value.
Macro
Context
|
| Global
Adoption Surge. McKinseys State of AI 2025 reports that 78% of global organizations use AI in at least one business function,
up from 55% in 2022, with marketing and sales among the top three functional areas of deployment. |
|
|
| Efficiency
Imperative. According to PwCs 2025 Global AI Survey, AI could contribute $15.7 trillion to the global economy by 2030,
with $6.6 trillion attributed to productivity gains and $9.1 trillion to consumption-side effects such as personalized marketing and
customer experience. |
|
|
| Budget
Reallocation. Gartners 2025 CMO Spend Report shows that 76% of CMOs plan to increase AI-related investments, even as overall marketing
budgets remain flat or declinea clear signal that executives view AI as a cost-saving, not cost-adding, necessity. |
|
|
| Competitive
Differentiation. Boston Consulting Group (BCG) notes that companies with embedded AI in marketing processes achieve two to three times
faster revenue growth than peers who have not integrated AI decision systems. |
|
**THE
TIME TO INVEST IN AI IS NOW FOR LONG-TERM BENEFIT**
****
AI
has moved beyond hype; it is now a capital allocation priority.
For investors and enterprises alike, the question is no longer *if* to invest, but *where* and *how fast*.
Global
Investment Landscape
|
| Record
AI Capital Flows. According to Stanfords AI Index 2025, private investment in AI reached $93 billion in 2024, representing
a 160% increase since 2020. Venture and corporate investors alike are directing capital toward AI-augmented services, platforms, and
infrastructure. |
|
|
| Enterprise
Transformation Window. Accentures 2025 research shows that organizations that integrate AI into core business models by 2026 are
expected to realize 30% higher profitability by 2030 than those that delay adoption. |
|
|
| AI
in Marketing and GTM Functions. IDC estimates that spending on AI-driven marketing applications will grow at a 27% CAGR between 2023
and 2028, reaching $127 billion by 2028. This growth is outpacing every other category of enterprise software investment. |
|
**STRATEGIC
OPPORTUNITY FOR DIGITAL CLARITY**
Digital

transformations of our time.
Management
believes that investing now in proprietary AI capabilities will yield compounding benefits over the next decade: higher margins, recurring
revenue, increased valuation multiple, and enduring shareholder value.
**THE
B2B MARKET REMAINS FERTILE**
The
B2B (business-to-business) sector remains one of the most fertile, defensible, and scalable opportunities for AI-driven transformation.
While consumer markets are crowded with short-cycle technologies and volatile spending patterns, B2B economies are defined by recurring
demand, complex buying cycles, and sustained value creation, the precise environment in which Digital Clarity excels.

**DIGITAL CLARITY HAS A COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE**
****
DBMMs Digital Clarity division holds a defensible position within
the rapidly expanding AI and GTM transformation marketplace.
This advantage is derived from structural differentiation, intellectual
property, and proven operational capability.
1. Proprietary Technology (DCIE)
The Digital Clarity Intelligence Engine is more than software
it is the codification of two decades of consulting expertise, algorithmically expressed.
Once commercialized, DCIE will deliver predictive analytics, decision automation, and growth simulation unmatched by generic AI marketing
platforms.
2. Hybrid Business Model
DC unites consulting credibility with software scalability.
This hybrid model allows for:
|
| Recurring SaaS revenue, complementing high-margin advisory income; | |
|
| Continuous data enrichment through consulting engagements; | |
|
| Feedback loops that accelerate product learning and differentiation. | |
Few competitors operate effectively in both spheres.
3. Market Focus and Expertise
DC specializes in B2B technology sectors SaaS, fintech,
enterprise software, and investor-backed ventures. This vertical specialization yields deeper insight, faster deployment, and
higher client retention. By contrast, many large consultancies remain too generalist, while small agencies lack the scale or AI
capability to compete.
4. Reputation and Leadership
Led by Reggie James, a recognized industry strategist
with over 25 years experience guiding enterprise GTM programs, Digital Clarity has built credibility through award-winning performance
and enduring client relationships.
That reputation provides a platform for brand trust, investor confidence, and strategic partnerships.
Conclusion:
Digital Claritys advantage is structural,
not circumstantial a combination of IP, executional expertise, and focus that positions DBMM at the forefront of the AI-driven
consulting revolution.

**FINANCIAL OVERVIEW/OUTLOOK**
**THE DISRUPTIVE REALITY OF FISCAL 2025**
Fiscal year 2025 tested the resilience of businesses across the global
B2B technology landscape with an intensity not witnessed since the immediate post-pandemic period. DBMM, through its operating division
Digital Clarity, was not immune to these forces, yet our experience during this tumultuous period catalyzed the most significant strategic
transformation in our companys history.
The fiscal year unfolded against a backdrop of cascading disruptions
that fundamentally altered client behavior, compressed marketing budgets, and extended sales cycles across the B2B sector. These were
not isolated challenges but rather an interconnected web of forces that demanded radical adaptation.
B2B sales teams faced mounting challenges throughout 2024, with win
rates dropping by 18% in the latter half despite earlier signs of recovery, while sales cycles increased by 16%, requiring substantially
more effort to close deals. Marketing budgets fell by 15% on average in 2024 according to Gartner analysis, with some organizations experiencing
cuts as high as 20%, while 71% of CMOs reported that insufficient budgets or resources were hampering their efforts.
Digital Clarity experienced these dynamics directly. Clients who had
historically maintained consistent marketing spend patterns suddenly implemented emergency budget reviews mid-fiscal year. Projects that
would have been greenlit immediately in prior years were subjected to multi-level approval processes. Decision cycles that typically spanned
30-60 days extended to 90-120 days, with some strategic initiatives deferred indefinitely as organizations prioritized immediate operational
stability over growth investments.
18
[Table of Contents](#TableOfContents)
**The reality of gLOBAL IMPACT**
Though it is challenging to justify such a challenging year against
the intentions at the beginning, the globalization in which we operate had an impact. Geopolitical risks reached unprecedented levels
in 2024-2025, with conflicts in Europe and the Middle East creating ripple effects across global markets, disrupting supply chains and
fueling regional instability, while more than 60 countries held significant elections amid widespread voter dissatisfaction over rising
prices and reduced living conditions. Global GDP growth decelerated as rising trade frictions, persistent geopolitical and policy uncertainty,
elevated market volatility, and inflation divergence reshaped the global outlook, with businesses operating in an environment marked by
supply fragilities and fragmented policy signals.
For B2B technology companies, Digital Claritys core client segment,
this uncertainty manifested in postponed expansion plans, conservative hiring, and a sharp pivot toward prove it now mentalities.
Organizations that would previously invest in transformative marketing strategies on strategic conviction now demanded immediate, quantifiable
ROI demonstrations before committing resources. In short, these clients paused activity realizing pursuit of short term gains were futile.
**IMPACT ON DIGITAL CLARITYS B2B MARKET SECTOR**
By early 2025, 69% of sales representatives missed their quotas, with
the top 17% of representatives generating 81% of total revenue, revealing a growing performance gap and indicating systemic challenges
across the B2B sales function. This wasnt simply about individual underperformance; it reflected fundamental shifts in buyer behavior
and procurement complexity that rendered traditional sales and marketing approaches increasingly ineffective.
Winners in the B2B space were able to deliver 2 times the average revenue
growth for their respective industries in 2024, while about one-third of organizations failed to deliver on their targets, with the biggest
challenges cited as improving salesforce productivity, managing pricing pressures, and modernizing go-to-market technologies.
Digital Clarity found itself serving clients caught in this divide.
Many struggled with outdated go-to-market frameworks unable to adapt to the new reality, while simultaneously lacking the internal expertise
or bandwidth to reimagine their approaches fundamentally.
The confluence of these external forces produced tangible impacts on
Digital Claritys fiscal 2025 performance. Revenues declined, however an uptick has started during the later part of the financial year.
These numbers, while disappointing relative to our aspirations, tell only part of the story. They reflect not merely market conditions
but a deliberate strategic pivot that required us to temporarily step away from commodity revenue streams to invest in building something
transformational.
****
**Behind The Revenue Reality**
Our fiscal 2025 revenue performance reflected three distinct dynamics:
**First**, the accelerated commoditization of our legacy service
offerings. A big challenge across B2B marketing in 2024 was eroding marketing budgets, with marketers seeing their budgets shrink over
the course of the year and many heading into 2025 with fewer resources, requiring agencies and brands to be extra savvy in where they
spend to extract maximum value. Pay-per-click management, SEO optimization, and tactical social media services, once profitable pillars
of our business, faced relentless pricing pressure as lower-cost providers flooded the market and AI-powered tools enabled basic execution
at dramatically reduced costs.
We made the conscious decision to exit or substantially reduce these
commodity offerings rather than compete in a race to the bottom. While this decision impacted near-term revenues, it freed our team to
focus entirely on higher-value consulting engagements and DCIE development.
**Second**, the extended sales cycles and compressed budgets described
earlier directly impacted our ability to convert pipeline into closed business during the fiscal year. Deals we anticipated closing in
Q2 and Q3 extended into Q4 and beyond. In several cases, clients who expressed strong intent to engage ultimately deferred decisions into
fiscal 2026 as they navigated internal budget reallocations and organizational changes.
**Third**, and most significantly, we deliberately redirected substantial
internal resources away from revenue-generating client work toward the intensive development effort required to bring the Digital Clarity
Intelligence Engine (DCIE) from conceptual framework to deployable platform. This was not an incidental investment but a strategic imperative
that demanded our best talents focused attention.
19
[Table of Contents](#TableOfContents)
**A Strategic Inflection Point
- Why Standing Still Meant Losing**
Confronting these challenges, DBMMs management team faced a fundamental
choice: attempt to defend declining commodity revenue streams through price competition and tactical adjustments or use the disruption
as catalyst for transformational change.
We chose transformation.
The decision was informed by a clear recognition that the B2B marketing
consulting landscape was undergoing a permanent structural shift. In 2025, 89% of leading businesses were already investing in AI to drive
revenue growth, with artificial intelligence becoming an essential part of B2B marketing and sales strategies rather than merely an enhancement.
Every business leader surveyed for Allegos 2025 AI in Revenue Enablement Report, 100% now uses generative AI tools to support sales,
marketing, or customer success, up from just 62% the prior year, marking a sharp shift toward full integration.
The message was clear. AI enablement had moved from competitive advantage
to baseline requirement. Organizations lacking AI-augmented capabilities would not simply grow slower than AI-enabled competitors, they
would become increasingly irrelevant.
For Digital Clarity, this meant that our decades of consulting expertise,
while valuable, required a new delivery mechanism to remain competitively viable. Clients needed not just strategic advice but AI-powered
systems that could operationalize that advice at scale, provide predictive insights, and accelerate execution dramatically.
Thus, DCIE was not an optional enhancement to our business model but
rather the foundation for our continued relevance and growth.
**DIGITAL CLARITY INTELLIGENCE
ENGINE (DCIE) TAKES SHAPE**
The fiscal 2025 challenges, paradoxically, provided invaluable clarity
on precisely what the market needed. Through hundreds of client conversations, we identified consistent pain points that traditional consulting
approaches could not adequately address:
|
1. | Strategic Insight Without Execution Capacity - Clients received
excellent strategic recommendations but lacked the internal resources or technological infrastructure to implement them effectively. |
|
|
2. | Data Abundance Without Actionable Intelligence - Organizations
possessed vast datasets from CRM systems, marketing automation platforms, and engagement tracking, yet struggled to synthesize this information
into clear, prioritized actions. |
|
|
3. | Need for Speed at Enterprise Quality - Market dynamics demanded
rapid decision-making and campaign deployment, yet quality and strategic alignment couldnt be sacrificed for velocity. |
|
|
4. | ROI Transparency and Attribution Complexity - CFOs and boards
increasingly demanded precise attribution of marketing investments to revenue outcomes, capabilities that traditional marketing agencies
couldnt consistently deliver. |
|
|
5. | AI Literacy Gap -While clients recognized AIs importance,
few possessed the internal expertise to evaluate AI solutions, integrate them into existing workflows, or maximize their value. |
|
These insights shaped DCIEs design from first principles.

**DCIE: PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY AS STRATEGIC DIFFERENTIATOR**
DCIE represents the culmination of more than two decades of go-to-market
consulting expertise, algorithmically expressed through sophisticated AI-powered modules. This is not an off-the-shelf platform with Digital
Clarity branding; it is proprietary intellectual property developed specifically to address the precise market gaps we identified.
**Integrated Intelligence
for B2B Growth**
****
As mentioned previously, the Digital Clarity Intelligence Engine consists
of six sophisticated, interconnected modules:
|
1. | The Insight Engine Optimization (IEO) leverages machine learning
algorithms to provide deep insights into market trends, customer behavior and competitive landscapes. Unlike traditional analytics platforms
that report historical performance, IEO identifies emerging patterns before they become obvious to competitors, enabling clients to capitalize
on opportunities proactively. |
|
|
2. | The Strategic Navigator Suite (SNS) streamlines strategy
development through sector-specific diagnostics, workflow automation, and scenario planning. SNS transforms strategy formulation from
an art form dependent on consultant intuition into a repeatable, scalable methodology enhanced by AI while retaining essential human
judgment for final decisions. |
|
|
3. | The Data Qualification & Alignment Framework (DQAF) ensures
that data used in strategy development is accurate, relevant, and aligned with client objectives. DQAF addresses the critical challenge
that undermines many AI implementations: unreliable or skewed input data that produces flawed recommendations regardless of algorithmic
sophistication. |
|
|
4. | The Market Adaptation and Prediction Engine (MAPE) uses AI-powered
predictive analytics to forecast market shifts and identify emerging opportunities, enabling clients to adapt strategies proactively
rather than reactively, a crucial advantage in volatile markets. |
|
|
5. | The Digital Transformation Facilitator (DTF) supports companies
through comprehensive digital transformation journeys, integrating digital marketing strategies with broader business objectives and
facilitating seamless transformation efforts aligned with future digital landscapes. |

**The Hybrid Architecture:
combines Security with Cutting-Edge Capability**
Critically, DCIE operates on both public large language models (including
Anthropics Claude, OpenAIs GPT, and Googles Gemini) and private LLMs that maintain complete security for sensitive internal company
data.
This hybrid architecture addresses the single largest barrier to enterprise
AI adoption: data security and privacy concerns. Proprietary information never leaves secure client environments, while DCIE still leverages
the cutting-edge capabilities of frontier AI models for analysis and recommendation generation.
**New future REVENUE models
augmenting and going Beyond Consulting**
DCIE has scope to be Standalone Asset and Revenue Generator
DCIEs value extends beyond enhancing Digital Claritys consulting
delivery. As proprietary software with immediate commercial application across a large addressable market, DCIE creates multiple potential
revenue streams:
Direct Licensing - Organizations can license DCIE as a standalone platform,
operated by their internal teams with Digital Clarity providing implementation support and ongoing platform enhancements.
21
[Table of Contents](#TableOfContents)
White-Label Partnerships - Strategic partners in complementary sectors
can white-label DCIE under their branding, creating new distribution channels and partnership revenue.
Subscription SaaS Model - A fully managed subscription offering provides
continuous access to DCIE capabilities plus ongoing updates, support, and strategic guidance,creating predictable, recurring revenue with
superior margins to project-based consulting.
Investor GTM Audit Services - Venture capital and private equity firms
can leverage DCIE for pre-investment and post-investment go-to-market audits, identifying risks and opportunities in portfolio companies.
**The AI marketing market is valued at $47.32 billion in 2025 and
is expected to grow at a CAGR of 36.6% to reach $107.5 billion by 2028. DCIE positions DBMM to capture a meaningful share of this explosive
growth, particularly in the specialized B2B go-to-market intelligence segment.**
****
**FISCAL 2026 OUTLOOK: THE TRANSFORMATION BEARS FRUIT**
As DBMM enters fiscal 2026, we transition from investment phase to
commercialization phase. DCIEs development journey positions us for meaningful revenue acceleration and improved financial performance.
Revenue Projections and Growth Drivers
Management projects fiscal 2026 revenues of a minimum of $1,200,000,
representing intended growth over fiscal 2025. This projection reflects:
DCIE Commercial Launch Impact - Q1 fiscal 2026 commenced with DCIEs
commercial availability, enabling conversion of developed pipeline into closed business. Initial pricing models command 2-3x premiums
over legacy service offerings, reflecting DCIEs enhanced value delivery.
Pilot Client Conversions - Pilot and beta participants transition to
full commercial engagements, providing immediate revenue base as fiscal year opens.
Recurring Revenue Model Introduction - Subscription-based DCIE access
creates predictable, high-margin recurring revenue stream beginning in Q2 fiscal 2026.
White-Label Partnership Revenue - To work on at least one white-label
partnership anticipated to commence generating licensing revenue during fiscal year.
Expanded Market Reach - Strengthened U.S. presence, particularly in
California technology corridors, accelerates client acquisition in the worlds largest B2B technology market.
Enhanced Win Rates - DCIE differentiation meaningfully improves competitive
positioning, increasing win rates on contested opportunities.

with cash flow improvement preceding GAAP profitability achievement.
Gross Margin Expansion: DCIE-enabled services command premium pricing
while reducing delivery costs through AI-powered automation, expanding gross margins from historical 35-40% range toward 55-65% target.
Operating Leverage: Platform approach enables serving more clients
with proportionally smaller team expansion, creating operating leverage as revenue scales.
Recurring Revenue Impact: Subscription model provides predictable revenue
visibility, enabling more efficient resource allocation and reducing sales cycle dependency.
EBITDA Pathway: Management targets EBITDA breakeven by Q3 fiscal 2026,
with positive EBITDA throughout Q4, positioning the company for sustained profitability in fiscal 2027 and beyond.
**THE INVESTMENT CASE: WHY DCIE CREATES TRANSFORMATIONAL VALUE**
****
**Market Opportunity Alignment**
With 89% of leading businesses investing in AI to drive revenue growth
and the AI marketing market valued at $47.32 billion in 2025 expected to reach $107.5 billion by 2028 at a 36.6% CAGR, the market timing
for AI-enabled go-to-market platforms has never been stronger.
DBMMs transformation positions the company at the intersection of
multiple powerful trends:
AI Adoption Acceleration - 100% of business leaders now use generative
AI tools to support sales, marketing, or customer success, with half reporting that AI has already helped boost revenue. DCIE provides
the specialized go-to-market application layer that makes AI accessible and actionable for B2B organizations.
23
[Table of Contents](#TableOfContents)
Shift from Commoditized Services to Strategic Platforms - Winners in
the B2B space who deployed AI and related technologies at greater scale achieved 2 times the average revenue growth versus their industries
in 2024. DCIE enables Digital Claritys clients to become those winners while positioning DBMM as the technology provider powering that
transformation.
Revenue Intelligence Demand - Companies that effectively use analytics
in service of marketing and sales performance are 1.5 times more likely to achieve above-average growth rates than their peers. DCIEs
predictive and prescriptive capabilities directly address this need.
Investor-Driven GTM Diligence - Private equity and venture capital
firms managing over $13 trillion in assets (PitchBook, 2025) increasingly demand sophisticated go-to-market assessment capabilities. DCIEs
Investment Intelligence Platform addresses this previously underserved market segment.
**Competitive Positioning
and Defensibility**
DCIE creates defensible competitive advantages:
Proprietary Technology - Unlike agencies licensing third-party tools,
DCIE is wholly owned intellectual property continuously enhanced through client engagements and ongoing development.
Data Network Effects - Each DCIE deployment generates performance data
and insights that improve algorithmic accuracy for all subsequent clients, creating compounding value.
Hybrid Expertise Model - Combining AI capability with deep consulting
expertise proves difficult to replicate, requiring both technological sophistication and decades of go-to-market domain knowledge.
First-Mover Advantage in Niche - While large consultancies offer generic
AI services and point-solution vendors provide narrow tools, few competitors address the specific B2B go-to-market intelligence niche
with integrated platform plus advisory services.
**Multiple Paths to Shareholder
Value Creation**
DCIE creates optionality for value realization:
Organic Growth - Scaled deployment of DCIE through Digital Claritys
direct sales creates sustainable, high-margin revenue growth.
Strategic Partnerships - White-label agreements with complementary
firms expand distribution without proportional cost increases.
Platform Licensing - Direct DCIE licensing to enterprises and mid-market
firms provides software-like economics.
Strategic Acquisition - Proven platform with demonstrated client traction
and proprietary IP creates attractive acquisition target for larger consultancies, MarTech platforms, or CRM vendors seeking AI capabilities.
Spin-Out Potential - DCIEs standalone value potentially supports independent
capitalization as separate entity, unlocking valuation multiples associated with software businesses rather than consulting firms.

**LOOKING FORWARD, CONFIDENCE IN TRANSFORMATION**
Fiscal 2025s challenges tested DBMMs resolve, but they also revealed
the transformational opportunity that DCIE represents. The convergence of market need, technological capability, and Digital Claritys
domain expertise creates a unique moment.
AI is transforming every aspect of B2B marketing, from team structures
and culture to the balance between automation and creativity, with CMOs needing to position their organizations for sustained success
in an increasingly AI-driven world by embracing AI literacy, fostering innovation-driven mindsets, and building in-house capabilities.
Digital Clarity has done precisely this, building the capabilities,
developing the technology, and establishing the market position required to thrive in the AI-enabled future of B2B go-to-market strategy.
The year ahead offers the opportunity to demonstrate that the pain
of fiscal 2025s transformation was investment, not loss. With DCIE now commercially available, pipeline robust, and market demand for
AI-enabled go-to-market solutions accelerating, management enters fiscal 2026 with justified confidence that DBMMs best years lie ahead.
Our transformation from commoditized services provider to AI-enabled
go-to-market intelligence platform positions us not merely to survive the disruption reshaping our industry but to emerge as a defining
force within it.
For shareholders who maintained faith through fiscal 2025s turbulence,
your patience is about to be rewarded. For prospective investors evaluating DBMM, the opportunity to participate in a company at the precise
inflection point between transformation investment and scaled commercialization rarely presents itself so clearly.
The future belongs to those who build it. Weve built DCIE. Now we
deploy it.
**COMPANY INITIATIVES TO REMOVE CERTAIN AGED
DEBT**
Regarding capital infusion, the Company resolved
in 2015 to eliminate any consideration of using convertible debentures as a financing vehicle. Accordingly, the Company has not issued
convertible debentures since 2015 nor have any convertible debentures been executed since 2016.
Additionally, we have demonstrated our adherence
to such a philosophy by renegotiating its aged debt with lenders, one at a time, at fixed settlement amounts with no conversion terms.
Furthermore, such renegotiations lead to the derecognition of derivative liabilities overhanging our balance sheet. The Company intends
to continue its debt negotiation and modification program.
This has been a successful strategy:
During fiscal year 2021 and 2023, and to a lesser
extent in fiscal 2020, we successfully reached agreements with certain lenders resulting in a gain on extinguishment for loans payable
which amounted to the difference between the carrying value and the revised amount of the obligations.
The gain on extinguishment of principal and accrued
interest amounted to $169,837 and $57,802 during fiscal 2021 and 2020, respectively.
We also successfully reached an agreement with
a holder of convertible debentures aggregating $249,800 to modify its terms. Such debentures are no longer convertible, are now non-interest
bearing, and have been reclassified to loans payable. It also resulted in a decrease in derivative liabilities and an increase in additional
paid-in capital of approximately $260,000 during fiscal 2021.
25
[Table of Contents](#TableOfContents)
Furthermore, in March 2022, we reached an agreement
with a holder of convertible debentures to satisfy obligations aggregating $85,000 in consideration of 30 million shares of the Companys
common stock.
In February 2023, we reached an agreement with
a holder of convertible debentures to satisfy obligations aggregating $76,000 in consideration of 7.5 million shares of the Companys
common stock.
In May 2023, we reduced our liability to a lessor
by $15,000.
In February 2025, we reached an agreement with
a holder of convertible debentures to satisfy obligations aggregating $739,000 in consideration of 100 million shares of the Companys
common stock.
**Fiscal Year 2025**
We had $23,000 in cash and our working capital
deficiency amounted to approximately $8.2 million at August 31, 2025.
During fiscal 2025, we used cash in our operating
activities amounting to $546,000. Our cash used in operating activities was comprised of our net loss of $1,060,000, adjusted primarily
for the following:
Change in fair value of derivative liability of $18,000
and gain on extinguishment of debt of $227,000.
Additionally, the following variations in operating
assets and liabilities during fiscal 2025 impacted on our cash used in operating activity:
Increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses,
accrued interest, and accrued compensation, of $782,000, resulting from a short fall in liquidity and capital resources.
We generated cash from financing activities of
$509,000 which primarily consists of the proceeds from the issuance of loans payable.
**Fiscal Year 2024**
We had $49,000 in cash and our working capital
deficiency amounted to approximately $7.4 million at August 31, 2025.
During fiscal 2025, we used cash in our operating
activities amounting to $569,000. Our cash used in operating activities was comprised of our net loss of $892,000 adjusted primarily for
the following:
Change in fair value of derivative liability of
$169,000 and gain on extinguishment of debt of $158,000.
Additionally, the following variations in operating
assets and liabilities during fiscal 2025 impacted on our cash used in operating activity: - to
Increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses,
accrued interest, and accrued compensation, of $454,000, resulting from a short fall in liquidity and capital resources.
We generated cash from financing activities of
$576,000 which primarily consists of the proceeds from the issuance of loans payable.

[Table of Contents](#TableOfContents)
**Going Concern**
The accompanying consolidated financial statements
have been prepared on a going concern basis. The financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if The Company
is unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company has outstanding loans and convertible
notes payable aggregating $3.7 million at August 31, 2025 and doesnt have sufficient cash on hand to satisfy such obligations.
The preceding raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. However, the Company generated
proceeds of $537,000 from financing activities during fiscal 2025. The Company also has a non-binding Commitment Letter from an investor
of $250,000 which also includes a right of first refusal on additional capital raise up to $3 million which will contribute to satisfying
such obligations and fund any potential cash flow deficiencies from operations for the foreseeable future.
Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern and the
realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities
presented in the financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The financial statements
do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

**NM: not meaningful**
Our primary sources of revenue are Digital Analytics
and Advisory Services.
Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control
of promised or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those
services. The Company enters into contracts that can include various combinations of services, which are generally capable of being
distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers, which
are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.
Geopolitical conflicts and uncertainties as well
as risks of recession, high inflation alongside energy costs, and interest rate rises and means global conditions remained challenging
in 2025.
27
[Table of Contents](#TableOfContents)
The decrease in our revenues during fiscal 2025
is due to the temporarily decreased volume of services provided to certain clients.
Our cost of sales slightly decreased during fiscal
2025 , mostly in comparable proportion as the decrease in revenues.
The sales, general and administrative expenses
increased during 2025 primarily as result of increased business development efforts to expand our customer base.
Interest expenses increased during 2025 primarily
from the considerations provided pursuant to its financing activities with no equivalent transactions occurring in fiscal 2024
and an increase in weighted-average interest-bearing debt in fiscal 2025 when compared to fiscal 2024.
Other income, which consists of refundable research
and development tax credits decreased during fiscal 2025 as we did not receive the same level of credits than in 2024.
The change in gain or loss on derecognition of liabilities
is primarily due to the timing of substantiation or transactions triggering such gains and losses. For example, during 2024, we derecognized
liabilities amounting to $158,287 which lapsed from statute of limitations following the dissolution of RGTVE while during fiscal 2025,
we reached an agreement with a lender resulting in a gain of approximately $227,000.
The change in fair value of derivative liabilities
between comparable periods is primarily attributable to in the Companys fluctuation in expected volatility of our stock price used
in the assumptions to compute its fair value at August 31, 2025 and 2024 compared to the measurement dates.
**Non-GAAP Financial Measures**
Management considers earnings (loss) before interest,
taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, as adjusted, an important indicator in evaluating our business on a consistent basis
across various periods. Due to the significance of non-recurring items, EBITDA, as adjusted, enables our management to monitor and evaluate
our business on a consistent basis. We use EBITDA, as adjusted, as a primary measure, among others, to analyze and evaluate financial
and strategic planning decisions regarding future operating investments and potential acquisitions. We believe that EBITDA, as adjusted,
eliminates items that are not part of our core operations, such as interest expense, or items that do not involve a cash outlay, such
as loss on extinguishment of debt and change in fair value of derivative liability. EBITDA, as adjusted, should be considered in addition
to, rather than as a substitute for, pre-tax income (loss), net income (loss) and cash flows used in operating activities. This non-GAAP
financial measure excludes significant expenses that are required by GAAP to be recorded in our financial statements and is subject to
inherent limitations. Investors should review the reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the comparable GAAP financial measure
included below. Investors should not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

{NEED NEW OPINION FROM AUDITORS}
*
**REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING
FIRM**
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Digital Brand Media &
Marketing Group, Inc.
**Opinion on the Financial Statements**
****
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Digital
Brand Media & Marketing Group, Inc. (the Company) as of August 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of operations
and comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended
August 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of August 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended August 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
**Going Concern**
****
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that
the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered net losses
from operations and has a net capital deficiency, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Managements
plans regarding those matters are discussed in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from
the outcome of this uncertainty.
**Basis for Opinion**
****
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys financial statements based on our audits. We are a public
accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent
with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an
audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal
control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal
control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material
misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures
included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included
evaluating the accounting principles used and the significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation
of the financial statements. We believe our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
**Critical Audit Matter**
****
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from
the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and
that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging,
subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial
statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinion on the critical
audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
As discussed in Note 2, the Company
recognizes revenue upon transfer of control of promised services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the
Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services. The Company offers customers the ability to acquire multiple
services. Significant judgment is exercised by the Company in determining revenue recognition for these customer agreements. Given
these factors, the related audit effort in evaluating managements judgments in determining revenue recognition for these
customer agreements was extensive and required a high degree of auditor judgment. To address the significant judgments involved in
revenue recognition, we inspected a sample of customer agreements, evaluated the identification and allocation of performance
obligations, confirmed terms with customers, and reperformed managements revenue calculations to verify the accuracy and
timing of revenue recognized.

**DIGITAL BRAND MEDIA & MARKETING GROUP, INC.**
**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**
**NOTE 1** **ORGANIZATION, BASIS OF
PRESENTATION AND GOING CONCERN**
N**ature of Business and History of the Company**
Digital Brand Media & Marketing Group, Inc.
(The Company) is an OTC:PK listed company. The Company was organized under the laws of the State of Florida on September
29, 1998.
Digital Clarity is the trading brand for Stylar
Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Digital Brand Media & Marketing Group, Inc (DBMM), through its offices in London, England. Digital
Clarity is a leading provider of marketing consulting and advisory solutions. It empowers businesses to achieve their marketing goals
through strategic insights, innovative use of technologies, AI, and a framework that accelerates growth. The company has a strong track
record of success in delivering tangible results as a private company, and then as a public company, Digital Clarity is at the forefront
of driving marketing change to accelerate growth and create lasting value for its clients.
With a strong track record of success and a commitment
to delivering tangible results, Digital Clarity is at the forefront of driving marketing change, and growth and creating lasting value
for its clients. The teams experience in business transformation provides leading strategy, deployment, and measurement to its
core market sectors including SaaS, Blockchain, Fintech, Software Sales, and Technology. Digital Claritys focus is on working with
B2B tech leaders, delivering growth through a unique combination of leveraging its proven strategy, augmented with AI.
The Company continues to develop and roll out
marketing consulting offerings from its operating base in the UK and increasing its presence in the larger markets in the US. As an example,
DC has developed a footprint in California expanding to other metropolitan areas that have a focus on technology, AI and software. The
intent has always been a strategy of a cash infusion to immediately correlate to build back demand and increase revenues. Growth has always
been a function of available capital.
**Going Concern**
The accompanying consolidated financial statements
have been prepared on a going concern basis. The financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if the Company
is unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company has outstanding loans and convertible
notes payable aggregating $3.7 million at August 31, 2025 and doesnt have sufficient cash on hand to satisfy such obligations.
The preceding raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. However, the Company generated
proceeds of approximately $537,000 from financing activities during fiscal 2025. The Company also has a non-binding Commitment Letter
from an investor of $250,000 which also includes a right of first refusal on additional capital raise up to $3 million which will contribute
to satisfying such obligations and fund any potential cash flow deficiencies from operations for the foreseeable future.
Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern and the
realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities
presented in the financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The financial statements
do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
**NOTE 2** **SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
**Basis of Consolidation**
The consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary Stylar 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. The Company had no cash equivalents as of August 31, 2025 or 2024.
F-6
Table of Contents
**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 August 31, 2025
and 2024, the Company recognized $0 as the allowance for doubtful accounts.
**Revenue Recognition**
Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control
of promised or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those
services. The Company enter into contracts that can include various combinations of services, which are generally capable of being distinct
and accounted for as separate performance obligations. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently
remitted to governmental authorities.
Nature of Services*
The Company generally provides its services to
companies with international exposure and expects the US business to grow going forward. The Company generally provides its services ratably
over the terms of the contract and bills such services at a monthly fixed rate. Some of the services are billed quarterly. The Companys
services are sold without guarantees.
*Significant Judgments*
Our contracts with customers sometimes include
promises to provide multiple services to a customer. Determining whether services are considered distinct performance obligations that
should be accounted for separately versus together may require significant judgment.
Judgment is required to determine Standalone Selling
Price (SSP) for each distinct performance obligation. The Company uses a single amount to estimate SSP for items that are not sold separately,
including set-up services, monthly search advertising services, and monthly optimization and management.
*Contract Balances*
The timing of revenue recognition may differ from
the timing of invoicing to customers. The Company records a receivable when revenue is recognized prior to invoicing, or unearned revenue
when revenue is recognized after invoicing.
The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects our
best estimate of probable losses inherent in the accounts receivable balance. We determine the allowance based on known troubled accounts,
historical experience, and other currently available evidence.
**Advertising Costs**
Advertising costs, which are included in the cost
of sales and general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statements of operations, are expensed when incurred. Total advertising
expenses amounted to $10,345 and $13,729, during fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively.
**Use of Estimates**
The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Included in these estimates are assumptions
about the collection of its accounts receivable, converted amount of cash denominated in a foreign currency, and estimated amounts of
cash, the derivative liability could settle, if not in common shares. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
F-7
[Table of Contents](#TableOfContents)
**Income Taxes**
The Company follows the provisions of the ASC
740 -10 related to *Accounting for Uncertain Income Tax Positions.* When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions
taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position
taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. In accordance with the guidance of ASC 740-10, the benefit of
a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes
it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes,
if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition
threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with
the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceed the amount measured as described
above should be reflected as a liability for uncertain tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheet along with any associated interest
and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. The Company believes its tax positions are all highly
certain of being upheld upon examination. As such, the Company has not recorded a liability for uncertain tax benefits.
The Company has adopted ASC 740-10-25 *Definition
of Settlement,* which provides guidance on how an entity should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose
of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits and provides that a tax position can be effectively settled upon the completion of
an examination by a taxing authority without being legally extinguished. For tax positions considered effectively settled, an entity would
recognize the full amount of tax benefit, even if the tax position is not considered more likely than not to be sustained based solely
of its technical merits and the statute of limitations remains open.
**Earnings (loss) per common share**
The Company utilizes the guidance per FASB Codification
ASC 260 Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per share are 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 for fiscal 2025 and 2024. The dilutive securities amounted to 140,872,750 and 84,523,650
shares of common stock and related to convertible notes as of August 31, 2025.
**Derivative Liabilities**
The Company assessed the classification of its
derivative financial instruments at each measurement date, which consist of convertible instruments and rights to shares of the Companys
common stock and determined that such derivatives meet the criteria for liability classification under ASC 815.
ASC 815 generally provides three criteria that,
if met, require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free-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 fiscal 2025 and 2024, the Company had notes
payable outstanding in which the conversion rate was variable and undeterminable. Accordingly, the Company has recognized a derivative
liability in connection with such instruments. The Company uses judgment in determining the fair value of derivative liabilities at the
date of issuance at every balance sheet thereafter and in determining which valuation is most appropriate for the instrument (e.g., Binomial
method), the expected volatility, the implied risk-free interest rate, as well as the expected dividend rate.
F-8
[Table of Contents](#TableOfContents)
**Fair Value of Financial Instruments**
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted
FASB ASC 820-Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, or ASC 820, for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
ASC 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing generally accepted accounting principles that require
the use of fair value measurements establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements.
The adoption of ASC 820 did not have an impact on the Companys financial position or operating results but did expand certain disclosures.
ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would
be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement
date. Additionally, ASC 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of
unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized below.
|
Level 1 |
Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. | |
|
Level 2 |
Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. | |
|
Level 3 |
Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entitys own assumptions. | |
The Company did not have any Level 2 or Level
3 assets or liabilities as of August 31, 2025, and 2024, except for its derivative liability which are valued based on Level 3 inputs.
Cash is highly liquid and easily tradable as of
August 31, 2025 and 2024 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 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 provide 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
