operations are conducted through our subsidiary TruGolf, Inc., a Nevada Corporation (“TruGolf Nevada”). TruGolf Nevada was
formed as a Utah corporation on October 4, 1995, under the name “TruGolf, Incorporated”. TruGolf Nevada’s original
business plan was the creation of golfing video games. On June 9, 1999, the TruGolf Nevada changed its name to “TruGolf, Inc.”
Effective on April 26, 2016, TruGolf Nevada filed Articles of Merger with the State of Utah, Department of Commerce, and on April 28,
2016, TruGolf Nevada filed Articles of Merger with the Secretary of State of Nevada, pursuant to which TruGolf, Inc., a Utah corporation,
merged with and into TruGolf Nevada, pursuant to a Plan of Merger. TruGolf Nevada was the surviving corporation in the merger. In connection
with the Plan of Merger, TruGolf Nevada affected a four-for-one forward stock split of its outstanding common stock.
For
over 40 years, TruGolf, Incorporated (or “the Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) has been
creating indoor golf software and hardware and are focused on both the residential and commercial golf simulation industries. We design,
develop, manufacture and sell golf simulators for residential and commercial applications. We offer portable, professional, commercial
and custom simulators. In addition, to bundling our software with our simulators, we offer our E6 Connect software and gaming software
on a standalone basis. We have leveraged the power of our hardware and software platform to create a collection of multi-sport games
including football, soccer, soccer golf, frisbee golf, zombie dodgeball, and cowboy target practice.
TruGolf
Nevada has been creating indoor golf software for 40 years. We began as a subsidiary of Access Software, Inc., a video game developer
based in Salt Lake City, Utah (“ Access Software ”), which was co-founded in November 1982, by Christopher Jones, the
Company’s largest stockholder, Chief Executive Officer, President and Chairman. In April 1999, Access Software was purchased by
Microsoft Corp., for its expertise in golf software development. Following the acquisition, the core programming and graphics team of
Links™, which created Links LS 1999, one of the bestselling PC sports games of 1999, were spun out to TruGolf Nevada.
Since
1999, we have focused on establishing residential and commercial golf simulation as a viable industry, and since 2007, we have focused
on fabricating custom golf simulators for luxury clients. Part of our initial strategy included partnering with hardware inventors to
provide them world class software. Over time, we found that it was not viable to rely on these early hardware inventors alone, we also
began building and selling our own hardware. In addition, we are working with a video game company to utilize their new dynamic graphics
engine which will enable us to bring photorealistic golf courses to life through our E6 software (discussed below). In addition, we have
developed multiple sources and 3 rd party manufacturers for the raw materials or parts for our products, including but not
limited to, steel or aluminum frames, fabric, turf, screens, projectors, PCs, cameras, lasers, infrared sensors, and supporting subsystems.
The availability of the frames and fabric from our principal provider, Allied ES&A, has been increased as they have moved into a
much larger facility directly located in a large employee base community and we have entered into negotiations with a second supplier
in order to provide alternative sourcing if needed. A third supplier, Impact Signs, has also been used in the past and TruGolf Nevada
believes that it could purchase turf, and screen supplies from them as well if needed. Both turf (Controlled Products), and screen suppliers
(Allied), are so specialized that we have come to rely on one vendor for each, respectively. Turf particularly experienced some delivery
delays in 2022 that have been rectified, additional inventory has been secured locally, and our highest volume portable simulators have
been redesigned to use less raw materials from that vendor, while adding an improved hitting surface from a second vendor, Real Feel,
to mitigate risk. Negotiations with a second supplier of screen materials is in progress. Projectors (TV Specialists), PCs, lasers, IR
sensors and other systems come from multiple suppliers with no historical delay in supply. We have 2 primary suppliers of cameras, IDS
and Basler, and have integrated products from both in the new Apogee unit to ensure the greatest availability possible.

The
Company is an “emerging growth company” as that term is used in the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, and as such,
has elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements.
On
May 10, 2024 the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary in the state of Delaware. TruGolf Links Franchising, LLC (“Links”)
has a sole member, TruGolf, Inc. Links was formed to establish and sell franchises that would use the Company’s indoor golf and
recreational sports simulators and other equipment. Links offers a Service Area franchise agreement for a single location. It also offers
a regional developer franchise agreement that allows the franchisee to sell franchises within its region. The upfront fees range from
$ 45,000 to $ 100,000 . Links has received proceeds of $ 500,000 from its CEO and $ 75,000 from a third party to purchase the franchise rights
to some regions yet to be determined. As of September 30, 2024, the Company recorded $ 575,000 of deferred revenue and incurred $ 306,539
of expenses that are included in Selling, general and administrative category.
Note
2. BUSINESS COMBINATION AND PURCHASE PRICE ALLOCATION
On
January 31, 2024 the Company consummated the business combination (the “Closing”) contemplated by the previously announced
Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 21, 2023 (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”), by and
among the Company, DMAC Merger Sub Inc., a Nevada corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”),
Bright Vision Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, in the capacity as the Purchaser Representative thereunder, Christopher
Jones, in the capacity as the Seller Representative thereunder, and TruGolf, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“TruGolf”). As a
result of the Closing and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (i) Merger Sub merged with and into TruGolf (the “Merger”),
with TruGolf surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and (ii) the Company’s name was changed from Deep
Medicine Acquisition Corp. (“DMAQ”) to TruGolf Holdings, Inc. The Company’s Class A common stock commenced trading
on the Nasdaq Global Market LLC under the ticker symbol “TRUG” on February 1, 2024.
Accounting
for the Business Combination
The
Merger is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, DMAQ was treated
as the acquired company for accounting purposes, whereas TruGolf Nevada was treated as the accounting acquirer. In accordance with this
method of accounting, the Business Combination has been treated as the equivalent of TruGolf Nevada issuing shares for the net assets
of DMAQ, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of DMAQ and TruGolf Nevada were stated at historical cost, with no goodwill
or other intangible assets recorded, and operations prior to the Business Combination were those of TruGolf Nevada. TruGolf Nevada has
been determined to be the accounting acquirer for purposes of the Business Combination based on an evaluation of the following facts
and circumstances:
●
Legacy
TruGolf Nevada stockholders have a majority of the voting power of New TruGolf,
●
TruGolf
Nevada comprising the ongoing operations of New TruGolf,
●
TruGolf
Nevada contributing a majority of the governing body members of New TruGolf, and
●
TruGolf
Nevada’s senior management comprising the senior management of New TruGolf.
Exchange

On
November 2, 2023 and December 7, 2023, Deep Medicine Acquisition Corp. (“DMAQ”) executed loan agreements with certain accredited
investors (together, the “Prior Loan Agreements”) pursuant to which such investors agreed to loan DMAQ up to an aggregate
$ 11,000,000 in exchange for the issuance of convertible notes and warrants. On February 2, 2024, TruGolf Holdings, Inc. (“TruGolf
Holdings”) executed a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with each of the investors that executed
the Prior Loan Agreements, which replaced, in their entirety, the Prior Loan Agreements, and with additional investors (together, the
“PIPE Investors”). Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, the PIPE Investors agreed to purchase
from the TruGolf Holdings (i) senior convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of up to $ 15,500,000 (the “PIPE Convertible
Notes”), (ii) Series A warrants to initially purchase 1,409,091 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock (the “Series
A Warrants”); and (iii) Series B warrants to initially purchase 1,550,000 shares of the TruGolf Holdings’ Class A common
stock (the “Series B Warrants,” and collectively with the Series A Warrants, the “PIPE Warrants”) (the “PIPE
Financing”).
The
Purchase Agreement contemplated the funding of the investment (the “Investment”) across multiple tranches. At the first closing
(the “Initial Closing”) an aggregate principal amount of $ 4,650,000 of PIPE Convertible Notes were issued upon the satisfaction
of certain customary closing conditions in exchange for aggregate gross proceeds of $ 4,185,000 , representing an original issue discount
of 10 %. On such date (the “Initial Closing Date”), TruGolf Holdings also issued the PIPE Investors the Series A Warrants
and the Series B Warrants.
As
of September 30, 2024, the Company recorded PIPE Convertible Notes payable of $ 4,650,000 and an original issue discount of $ 465,000 resulting
in the net balance of $ 4,185,000 . For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 the Company recorded interest expense on the PIPE Convertible
Notes of $ 647,047 , and interest expense relating to the amortization of the OID of $ 47,447 .
Subject
to satisfying the conditions discussed below, TruGolf Holdings, Inc. has the right under the Purchase Agreement, but not the obligation,
to require that the PIPE Investors purchase additional Notes at up to two additional closings. Upon notice at any time after the 2nd
trading day following the Initial Closing Date, TruGolf Holdings may require that the PIPE Investors purchase an additional aggregate
principal amount of $ 4,650,000 of PIPE Convertible Notes, in exchange for aggregate gross proceeds of $ 4,185,000 , if (i) the Registration
Statement (as described below) has been filed; and (ii) certain customary closing conditions are satisfied (the “First Mandatory
Additional Closing”). Upon notice at any time after the 2nd trading day following the date that the First Mandatory Additional
Closing is consummated, TruGolf Holdings may require that the PIPE Investors purchase an additional aggregate principal amount of $ 6,200,000
of PIPE Convertible Notes, in exchange for aggregate gross proceeds of $ 5,580,000 , if (i) the shareholder approval is obtained (as described
below); (ii) the Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC; and (iii) certain customary closing conditions are satisfied
(the “Second Mandatory Additional Closing”).
In
addition, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, as amended by the Waiver (described below) each PIPE Investor has the right, but not the
obligation, to require that, upon notice, TruGolf Holdings sell to such PIPE Investor at one or more additional closings such PIPE Investor’s
pro rata share of up to a maximum aggregate principal amount of $ 10,850,000 in additional PIPE Convertible Notes (each such additional
closing, an “Additional Optional Closing”); provided that, the principal amount of the additional PIPE Convertible Notes
issued at each Additional Optional Closing must equal at least $ 250,000 . If a PIPE Investor has not elected to effect an Additional Optional
Closing on or prior to August 30, 2025, such PIPE Investor shall have no further right to effect an Additional Optional Closing under
the Purchase Agreement.
On
August 13, 2024, the Company entered into those certain waiver and amendment agreements (the “Waiver”), pursuant to which
the Company and the PIPE Investors agreed to: (i) waive any breaches or defaults caused by the Company’s failure to timely file
its SEC reports through August 14, 2024; (ii) extend the date by which the Additional Optional Closings may occur until 11 months from
the effective date of the initial Registration Statement; (iii) permit the Company to raise debt financing from its affiliates through
non-convertible, unsecured notes with a maturity date that is later than the maturity date of the PIPE Convertible Notes; (iv) waive
certain registration failures until September 3, 2024 and permit the issuance of common stock to satisfy certain registration failures;
and (v) allow the Company to satisfy the interest payments due April 1, 2024, July 1, 2024 and October 1, 2024 from the issuance of common
stock or by allowing such amounts to be added to the principal amount of the PIPE Convertible Notes, at the option of the PIPE Investors.
In addition, certain PIPE Investors agreed to acquire additional PIPE Convertible Notes without regard to any volume or price requirements
in the instruments. In connection with the Waiver, the Company issued an aggregate of 192,151
shares in satisfaction of certain registration
statement delay payments and issued an aggregate of 157,582
shares in satisfaction of outstanding interest
payments. Such payments were made at the “Alternate Conversion Price” set forth in the PIPE Convertible Notes, which is equal
to the lesser of (i) the Conversion Price, and (ii) 90% of the lowest volume weighted average price of the Class A common stock during
the five consecutive trading days immediately prior to such conversion.
On
November 7, 2024, the Company entered into those certain amendments to the Waivers (the “Amendments”), pursuant to which the Company and
the PIPE Investors agreed to: (i) waive any breaches or defaults caused by the Company’s failure to timely file its SEC reports
through August 21, 2024; and (ii) waive certain registration failures until October 3, 2024. In addition, the PIPE Investors waived any
breaches or defaults that may have occurred or will occur solely as a result of the Company’s failure to comply with the continued
listing requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market due to: (i) the Company’s failure to meet the stockholders’ equity requirement
for continued listing, provided that the foregoing waiver shall expire on January 15, 2025, (ii) the Company’s failure to meet the market value of publicly held shares requirement for continued listing,

meet the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing; provided that the foregoing waiver shall expire on January 15, 2025, provided
further that to the extent the Company is in compliance with all other Nasdaq Stock Market listing requirements and has filed a preliminary
proxy statement to hold a special meeting to vote on a reverse stock split to remedy the bid price failure, the waiver shall be extended
to March 15, 2025. In connection with the Amendment, the Company issued an aggregate of 116,959 shares in satisfaction of certain registration
statement delay payments and issued an aggregate of 65,790 shares in satisfaction of outstanding interest payments. Such payments were
made at the “Alternate Conversion Price” set forth in the PIPE Convertible Notes, which is equal to the lesser of (i) the
Conversion Price, and (ii) 90% of the lowest volume weighted average price of the Class A common stock during the five consecutive trading
days immediately prior to such conversion.
On
November 7, 2024, certain PIPE Investors agreed to purchase additional PIPE Convertible Notes in aggregate principal amount of $ 3,300,000

3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis
of Presentation - Unaudited Interim Financial Information
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, and in accordance
with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) with respect to Form 10-Q
and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete
financial statements. The unaudited condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results
are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.
Certain
information and disclosures normally included in the notes to the annual consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted
from these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, these interim unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Registration
Statement on Form S-1 effective as of September 30, 2024 and in Form 8-K/A as filed with the SEC on April 17, 2024.
Basis
of Presentation – Accounting for the Business Combination
The
Merger was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, DMAQ was treated
as the acquired company for accounting purposes, whereas TruGolf Nevada was treated as the accounting acquirer. In accordance with this
method of accounting, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of TruGolf Nevada issuing shares for the net assets of DMAQ,
accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of DMAQ and TruGolf Nevada were stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other
intangible assets recorded, and operations prior to the Business Combination were those of TruGolf Nevada. TruGolf Nevada has been determined
to be the accounting acquirer for purposes of the Business Combination based on an evaluation of the following facts and circumstances:
●
Legacy
TruGolf Nevada stockholders have a majority of the voting power of New TruGolf,
●
TruGolf
Nevada comprising the ongoing operations of New TruGolf,
●
TruGolf
Nevada contributing a majority of the governing body members of New TruGolf, and
●
TruGolf
Nevada’s senior management comprising the senior management of New TruGolf.
Basis
of Presentation – Principles of consolidation
The
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant
intercompany transactions and balances between the Company and its subsidiaries are eliminated upon consolidation.
Use
of Estimates
The
Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America,
which requires management to use its judgment to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reported period. These
assumptions and estimates could have a material effect on the financial statements. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates.
The Company’s management periodically reviews estimates on an ongoing basis based on information currently available, and changes
in facts and circumstances may cause the Company to revise these estimates. Significant estimates include estimates used in the valuation
allowance related to deferred tax assets and capitalized software costs. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
11
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
Cash
and cash equivalents include all cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or
less when purchased.
As
of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents consisted of $ 7,452,185 and $ 5,397,564 , respectively.
The Company maintains its cash in banks insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in accounts that at times may exceed the
federally insured limit of $ 250,000 per bank. The Company minimizes this risk by placing its cash deposits with major financial institutions.
At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 the uninsured balances amounted to $ 6,125,053 and $ 4,251,124 respectively.
Marketable
Investment Securities
The
Company’s marketable investment securities are comprised of investments in corporate fixed income securities and U.S. Treasury
securities. The Company designates investments in debt securities as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale debt securities with original
maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase are classified within cash and cash equivalents. Available-for-sale debt
securities are reported at fair value with the related unrealized gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income
(loss), a component of stockholders’ equity, net of tax. Realized gains and losses on the sale of marketable securities are determined
using the average cost method on a first-in, first-out basis and recorded in total other income (expense), net in the statements of operations
and comprehensive loss. The Company sold and liquidated most of its marketable securities during the nine months ended September 30,
2024 resulting in a balance of $ 10,114 as of that date and is included with cash and cash equivalents.
Accounts
Receivable, net
We
manage credit risk associated with our accounts receivable at the customer level. Because the same customers typically generate the revenues
that are accounted for under both Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and
Accounting Standards Codification Topic 326, Credit Losses (Topic 326)., the discussions below on credit risk and our allowances for
doubtful accounts address our total revenues from Topic 606 and Topic 326.
We
believe the concentration of credit risk, with respect to our receivables, is limited because our customer base is comprised of a number
of geographically diverse customers. We manage credit risk through credit approvals and other monitoring procedures.
Pursuant
to Topic 326 for our accounts receivables, we maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts that reflects our estimate of our expected
credit losses. Our allowance is estimated using a loss rate model based on delinquency. The estimated loss rate is based on our historical
experience with specific customers, our understanding of our current economic circumstances, reasonable and supportable forecasts, and
our own judgment as to the likelihood of ultimate payment based upon available data. We believe our credit risk is somewhat mitigated
by our geographically diverse customer base and our credit evaluation procedures. The actual rate of future credit losses, however, may
not be similar to past experience. Our estimate of doubtful accounts could change based on changing circumstances, including changes
in the economy or in the particular circumstances of individual customers. Accordingly, we may be required to increase or decrease our
allowance for doubtful accounts. Based on management’s evaluation, there is a balance in the allowance for doubtful accounts of
$ 1,295,533 and $ 1,227,136 as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Inventory,
net
All
of our inventory consists of raw materials and are valued at the lower of historic cost or net realizable value; where net realizable
value is considered to be the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable cost of completion,
disposal and transportation. Historic inventory costs are calculated on an average or specific cost basis. The Company records inventory
write-downs for excess or obsolete inventories based upon assumptions on current and future demand forecasts. As of September 30, 2024
and December 31, 2023, the Company had $ 448,360 and $ 429,050 , respectively, reserved for obsolete inventory.
12
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
Fair
value is defined as the amount that would be received for selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) fair value measurement
guidance established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The three broad levels of the fair
value hierarchy are as follows:
Level
1 –
Quoted
prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities,
Level
2 –
Quoted
prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly
or indirectly,
Level
3 –
Unobservable
inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring a company to develop its own assumptions.
Assets
and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. We review the fair
value hierarchy classification on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observable inputs may result in a reclassification of assets and
liabilities within the three levels of the hierarchy outlined above.
Property
and Equipment
Our
property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line over the estimated useful lives. Ordinary repair
and maintenance costs are included in sales, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses on our statements of operations.
However, expenditures for additions or improvements that significantly extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized in the period
incurred. At the time assets are sold or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from their respective accounts
and the related gains or losses are reflected in the statements of operations in gains from sales of property and equipment, net.
We
periodically evaluate the appropriateness of remaining depreciable lives assigned to property and equipment. Generally, we assign the
following estimated useful lives to these categories:
SCHEDULE
OF ESTIMATED USEFUL LIVES
Category
Estimated
Useful Life
Software
and computer equipment
3
to 10 years
Furniture
and fixtures
3
to 15 years
Vehicles
5
years
Equipment
5
to 10 years
Capitalized
software development costs
We
capitalize certain costs related to the development of our software used in our simulators. In accordance with authoritative guidance,
including ASC 985-20, Software-Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased or Marketed , we began to capitalize these costs when the technological
feasibility was established and preliminary development efforts were successfully completed, management authorized and committed project
funding, and it was probable that the project would be completed and the software would be used as intended. Such costs are amortized
when placed in service, on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the related asset, estimated to be three years beginning
on February 1, 2024. Costs incurred prior to meeting these criteria together with costs incurred for training and maintenance are expensed
as incurred and recorded in product development expenses on our statements of operations. The Company does not capitalize any testing
or maintenance costs. The accounting for these capitalized software costs requires us to make significant judgments, assumptions and
estimates related to the timing and amount of recognized capitalized software development costs. For the nine months ended September
30, 2024 we capitalized $ 1,967,418 of costs related to the development of software applications. Amortization of capitalized software
costs was $ 279,001 for the for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
13
Impairment
of Long-lived Assets
Our
long-lived assets principally consist of property and equipment and right-of-use assets. We review, on a regular basis, our long-lived
assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
In reviewing for impairment, the carrying value of such assets is compared to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected from
the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If such cash flows are not sufficient to support the asset’s recorded value,
an impairment charge is recognized to reduce the carrying value of the asset to its estimated fair value. The determination of future
cash flows as well as the estimated fair value of long-lived and intangible assets involves significant estimates and judgment on the
part of management. Our estimates and assumptions may prove to be inaccurate due to factors such as changes in economic conditions, changes
in our business prospects or other changing circumstances. Based on our most recently completed reviews, there were no indications of
impairment associated with our long-lived assets.
Leases
Our
lease portfolio is substantially comprised of operating leases related to leases for our corporate headquarters and warehouse.
We
determine whether an arrangement is a lease at the inception of the arrangement based on the terms and conditions in the contract. A
contract contains a lease if there is an identified asset, and we have the right to control the asset for a period of time in exchange
for consideration. Lease arrangements can take several forms. Some arrangements are clearly within the scope of lease accounting, such
as a real estate contract that provides an explicit contractual right to use a building for a specified period of time in exchange for
consideration. However, the right to use an asset can also be conveyed through arrangements that are not leases in form, such as leases
embedded within service and supply contracts. We analyze all arrangements with potential embedded leases to determine if an identified
asset is present, if substantive substitution rights are present, and if the arrangement provides the customer control of the asset.
Operating
lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent our right to use an individual asset for the lease term and lease liabilities
represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at
the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide the lessor’s
implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) at the commencement date in determining the present value of
lease payments by utilizing a fully collateralized rate for a fully amortizing loan with the same term as the lease.
Lease
terms include options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain those options will be exercised. For leases with terms greater
than 12 months, we record the related asset and obligation at the present value of lease payments over the term. Our leases can include
rental escalation clauses, renewal options and/or termination options that are factored into our determination of lease payments when
such renewal options and/or termination options are reasonably certain of exercise.
A
ROU asset is subject to the same impairment guidance as assets categorized as property and equipment. As such, any impairment loss on
ROU assets is presented in the same manner as an impairment loss recognized on other long-lived assets.
A
lease modification is a change to the terms and conditions of a contract that changes the scope or consideration of a lease. For example,
a change to the terms and conditions to the contract that adds or terminates the right to use one or more underlying assets, or extends
or shortens the contractual lease term, is a modification. Depending on facts and circumstances, a lease modification may be accounted
for as either: (1) the original lease plus the lease of a separate asset(s) or (2) a modified lease. A lease will be remeasured if there
are changes to the lease contract that do not give rise to a separate lease.
Revenue
Recognition
We
recognize revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)
standards - Topic 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“Topic 606”). When
entering into contracts with our customers, we review the following five steps of Topic 606:
i.
Identify
the contract with the customer.
ii.
Identify
the performance obligation.
iii.
Determine
the transaction price.
iv.
Allocate
the transaction price to the performance obligation.
v.
Evaluate
the satisfaction of the performance obligation.
We
account for contracts, with our customers, when we have approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified,
payment terms are established, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable.
Under
Topic 606, we recognize revenue only when we satisfy a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service to our customer
and completion of all performance obligations. A good or service is considered transferred when the customer obtains control. The standard
defines control as an entity’s ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, an asset.
We recognize revenue once control has passed to the customer. The following indicators are evaluated in determining when control has
passed to the customer:
i.
We
have a right to a payment for the product or service.
ii.
The
customer has legal title to the product.
iii.
We
have transferred physical possession of the product to the customer.
iv.
The
customer has the risk and rewards of ownership of the product.
v.
The
customer has accepted the product.
14
Revenue
Recognition for Golf Simulators. Revenues from the sale of golf simulators are recognized with the selling price to the customer
recorded as revenues and the acquisition cost of the product recorded as cost of revenues. We recognize revenue from these transactions
when control has passed to the customer and the performance obligations have been satisfied. Control is considered to have passed to
the customer when the simulators has been delivered, installed and accepted by the customer. Golf simulators are bundled and are comprised
of both hardware and a software license (for the software to operate the simulator). Our simulator contracts with customers generally
do not include multiple performance obligations.
Revenue
Recognition for Content Software Subscriptions . The Company offers content software subscriptions for one and twelve months. We recognize
revenue from these transactions when control has passed to the customer and the performance obligations have been satisfied. Control
is considered to have passed to the customer when the software license has been delivered and accepted by the customer. The content software
subscription revenue is recognized over the term of the contract.
Cost
of Revenues
Cost
of revenue includes direct materials, labor, manufacturing overhead costs and reserves for estimated warranty cost (excluding depreciation).
Cost of revenues also includes charges to write down the carrying value of the inventory when it exceeds its estimated net realizable
value and to provide for on-hand inventories that are either obsolete or in excess of forecasted demand, as consistently reviewed by
the Company. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded an expense of $ 123,891 and $ 36,992 in inventory
write-down, respectively.
Royalties
We
have royalty agreements with certain software suppliers to pay royalties based on the number of units and subscriptions sold. The royalty
percentages range between 20 % and 30 %. Royalty expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $ 719,668 and $ 447,366 ,
respectively.
Income
Taxes
The
Company utilizes the asset and liability approach to measure deferred tax assets and liabilities based on temporary differences existing
at each balance sheet date using currently enacted tax rates in accordance with ASC 740. ASC 740 considers the differences between financial
statement treatment and tax treatment of certain transactions. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in
the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rate is recognized
as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment date of that rate. Prior to the Merger, the Company elected to be taxed
as an S-Corporation that passes through all income and deductions to its members. The Company did not have any deferred tax benefits
or liabilities prior to January 31, 2024.
The
Company has no tax positions as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but
for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility.
The
Company recognizes any interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses.
For the nine months ending September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized no interest and penalties.
Net
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Net
income (loss) per share is provided in accordance with FASB ASC 260-10, “Earnings per Share”. Basic net income (loss) per
common share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common
shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average shares outstanding,
assuming all dilutive potential common shares were issued, unless doing so is anti-dilutive. The computation of basic and diluted income
(loss) per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 excludes potentially dilutive securities when their inclusion
would be anti-dilutive, or if their exercise prices were greater than the average market price during the period. There were no potential
dilutive shares as September 30, 2023.

Total
potential dilutive shares as of September 30, 2024 consisted of the following:

Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
Management
has evaluated all recent accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and determined
that none of the pronouncements will have a material impact on our financial statements. We will continue to monitor the issuance of
any new accounting pronouncements and assess their potential impact on the financial statements in future periods.
Concentration
of Credit and Supplier Risk
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash deposits and trade accounts
receivable. Credit risk can be negatively impacted by adverse changes in the economy or by disruptions in the credit markets.
We
maintain our cash deposits with established commercial banks. At times, balances may exceed federally insured limits. We have not experienced
any losses in such accounts and do not believe that we are exposed to any significant credit risk associated with our cash deposits.
We
believe that credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable is somewhat mitigated by our large number of geographically diverse
customers and our credit evaluation procedures. We record trade accounts receivables at sales value and establish specific reserves for
certain customer accounts identified as known collection problems due to insolvency, disputes or other collection issues. The amounts
of the specific reserves estimated by management are determined by a loss rate model based on delinquency. We maintain reserves for potential
losses. There were no customers that accounted for more than 10.0 % of our revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
We
purchase a significant amount of parts we consume in manufacturing our simulators from nationally known original equipment manufacturers,
many of whom we have had over a 10 to 15 year relationship. While we do not have long-term contracts, we do issue purchase orders based
on quoted prices terms. We purchase in the normal course of business approximately 50% of our assembly parts from six to eight manufacturers.
We believe that while there are alternative suppliers, for the parts and equipment, we purchase in each of the principal product categories,
termination of one or more of our relationships with any of our major suppliers of equipment could have a material adverse effect on
our business.
Warrants
The
fair value of the warrants is estimated on the date of issuance using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires the input
of subjective assumptions, including the expected term of the warrants, expected stock price volatility, and expected dividends. These
estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. Expected volatilities used in the valuation
model are based on the average volatility of the comparable companies publicly traded on recognized stock exchanges. The risk-free rate
for the expected term of the option is based on the United States Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant.

income securities (corporate bonds) and $ 1,981,061 in government securities (Treasury securities). The Company terminated the brokerage
agreement during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, liquidated the vast majority of its investments and has $ 10,114 on its balance
sheet as of September 30, 2024. As of December 31, 2023, the marketable securities consisted of the following:
SCHEDULE
OF MARKETABLE SECURITIES
Corporate fixed income securities, weighted average yield and maturity of 5.39 % and 2.38 years, respectively

Total short-term investments
$ 2,511,336
We
classify our short-term investments as available-for-sale securities as we may sell these securities at any time for use in operations
or for other purposes. We record such securities at fair value on our balance sheet, with unrealized gains or losses reported as a component
of accumulated comprehensive loss. The amount of unrealized gains or losses reclassified into earnings is based on specific identification
when the securities are sold. We periodically evaluate if any security has experienced credit-related declines in fair value, which are
recorded against an allowance for credit losses with an offsetting entry to interest and other expense, net on the statement of operations.
As of September 30, 2024, the Company had $ 10,114 of short-term investments in cash and cash equivalents remaining.

loan fees are being amortized over the term of the Ethos Management loan. Deposits related to the facility leases are generally the last
month’s payments.
17
The
Ethos Asset Management Loan Agreement (“Loan Agreement”) stipulates that fundings should happen approximately every 30 banking
days, subject to Ethos completing periodic internal audits to ensure the Company was in compliance with the terms of loan agreement.
Ethos Management informed the Company in August 2023, that unrelated to TruGolf, Ethos Management is currently undergoing a routine audit
of its loan portfolio, and pending the close of the audit, borrowers may experience delays in drawing on funds when requested. Due to
the lack of additional fundings and in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement, in February 2024, we sent Ethos a notice of termination
for materially breaching the Loan Agreement. Based on the termination for default clause in the Loan Agreement, we are entitled to retain
all the funds disbursed by Ethos, and Ethos must release the deposit collateral, which offsets in part the loan payable of $ 2,383,059
(Note 10.) and accrued interest of $ 81,560 as of September 30, 2024.

11. PIPE Loans
On
February 2, 2024, the Company executed a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with each of the investors

(together, the “PIPE Investors”). Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, the PIPE Investors agreed
to purchase from the Company (i) senior convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of up to $ 15,500,000 (the “PIPE Convertible
Notes”), (ii) Series A warrants to initially purchase 1,409,091 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock (the “Series
A Warrants”); and (iii) Series B warrants to initially purchase 1,550,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock (the
“Series B Warrants,” and collectively with the Series A Warrants, the “PIPE Warrants”) (the “PIPE Financing”).
19
As
of September 30, 2024, the Company recorded PIPE Convertible Notes payable of $ 4,650,000 and an original issue discount of $ 465,000 resulting

and interest expense relating to the amortization of the OID of $ 47,447 . The process for the second tranche of the PIPE Convertible Notes
payable has commenced and should be completed in November 2024.
Subject
to satisfying the conditions discussed below, TruGolf Holdings, Inc. has the right under the Purchase Agreement, but not the obligation,
to require that the PIPE Investors purchase additional Notes at up to two additional closings. Upon notice at any time after the 2nd
trading day following the Initial Closing Date, TruGolf Holdings may require that the PIPE Investors purchase an additional aggregate
principal amount of $ 4,650,000 of PIPE Convertible Notes, in exchange for aggregate gross proceeds of $ 4,185,000 , if (i) the Registration
Statement (as described below) has been filed; and (ii) certain customary closing conditions are satisfied (the “First Mandatory
Additional Closing”). Upon notice at any time after the 2nd trading day following the date that the First Mandatory Additional
Closing is consummated, TruGolf Holdings may require that the PIPE Investors purchase an additional aggregate principal amount of $ 6,200,000
of PIPE Convertible Notes, in exchange for aggregate gross proceeds of $ 5,580,000 , if (i) the shareholder approval is obtained (as described
below); (ii) the Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC; and (iii) certain customary closing conditions are satisfied
(the “Second Mandatory Additional Closing”).
In
addition, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, as amended by the Waiver (described below) each PIPE Investor has the right, but not the
obligation, to require that, upon notice, TruGolf Holdings sell to such PIPE Investor at one or more additional closings such PIPE Investor’s
pro rata share of up to a maximum aggregate principal amount of $ 10,850,000 in additional PIPE Convertible Notes (each such additional
closing, an “Additional Optional Closing”); provided that, the principal amount of the additional PIPE Convertible Notes
issued at each Additional Optional Closing must equal at least $ 250,000 . If a PIPE Investor has not elected to effect an Additional Optional
Closing on or prior to August 30, 2025, such PIPE Investor shall have no further right to effect an Additional Optional Closing under
the Purchase Agreement.
On
August 13, 2024, the Company entered into those certain waiver and amendment agreements (the “Waiver”), pursuant to
which the Company and the PIPE Investors agreed to: (i) waive any breaches or defaults caused by the Company’s failure to
timely file its SEC reports through August 14, 2024; (ii) extend the date by which the Additional Optional Closings may occur until
11 months from the effective date of the initial Registration Statement; (iii) permit the Company to raise debt financing from its
affiliates through non-convertible, unsecured notes with a maturity date that is later than the maturity date of the PIPE
Convertible Notes; (iv) waive certain registration failures until September 3, 2024 and permit the issuance of common stock to
satisfy certain registration failures; and (v) allow the Company to satisfy the interest payments due April 1, 2024, July 1, 2024
and October 1, 2024 from the issuance of common stock or by allowing such amounts to be added to the principal amount of the PIPE
Convertible Notes, at the option of the PIPE Investors. In addition, certain PIPE Investors agreed to acquire additional PIPE
Convertible Notes without regard to any volume or price requirements in the instruments. In connection with the Waiver, the Company
issued an aggregate of 192,151 shares
in satisfaction of certain registration statement delay payments and issued an aggregate of 157,582 shares
in satisfaction of outstanding interest payments. Such payments were made at the “Alternate Conversion Price” set forth
in the PIPE Convertible Notes, which is equal to the lesser of (i) the Conversion Price, and (ii) 90% of the lowest volume weighted
average price of the Class A common stock during the five consecutive trading days immediately prior to such conversion.
On
November 7, 2024, the Company entered into those certain amendments to the Waivers (the “Amendments”), pursuant to which
the Company and the PIPE Investors agreed to: (i) waive any breaches or defaults caused by the Company’s failure to timely
file its SEC reports through August 21, 2024; and (ii) waive certain registration failures until October 3, 2024. In addition, the
PIPE Investors waived any breaches or defaults that may have occurred or will occur solely as a result of the Company’s
failure to comply with the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market due to: (i) the Company’s failure to meet
the stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing, provided that the foregoing waiver shall expire on January 15,
2025, (ii) the Company’s failure to meet the market value of publicly held shares requirement for continued listing, provided
that the foregoing waiver shall expire on January 15, 2025, and/or (iii) the Company’s failure to meet the minimum bid price
requirement for continued listing; provided that the foregoing waiver shall expire on January 15, 2025, provided further that to the
extent the Company is in compliance with all other Nasdaq Stock Market listing requirements and has filed a preliminary proxy
statement to hold a special meeting to vote on a reverse stock split to remedy the bid price failure, the waiver shall be extended
to March 15, 2025. In connection with the Amendment, the Company issued an aggregate of 116,959 shares
in satisfaction of certain registration statement delay payments and issued an aggregate of 65,790 shares
in satisfaction of outstanding interest payments. Such payments were made at the “Alternate Conversion Price” set forth
in the PIPE Convertible Notes, which is equal to the lesser of (i) the Conversion Price, and (ii) 90% of the lowest volume weighted
average price of the Class A common stock during the five consecutive trading days immediately prior to such conversion.
On
November 7, 2024, certain PIPE Investors agreed to purchase additional PIPE Convertible Notes in aggregate principal amount of $ 3,300,000
for aggregate proceeds of $ 2,970,000 . In connection with the foregoing, the Company agreed to repay an aggregate of $ 2,496,686 in outstanding
debt and transaction expenses.

13. LINES OF CREDIT
In
December 2023, we entered into a $ 2,000,000 variable rate line of credit with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. The purpose of the new line
of credit was to consolidate the balances outstanding on the note payable and the previous line of credit, which had matured. The line
of credit matures on December 31, 2024. The line of credit has an annual interest rate computed at the Adjusted SOFR (Secured Overnight
Financing Rate) Rate and at a rate of 3.00 % above the SOFR Rate. The Adjusted SOFR rate means the sum of the Applicable margin ( 3.50 %
per annum) plus the SOFR rate applicable to the interest period plus the Unsecured to Secured Rate Adjustment.
The
line of credit was secured by a pledge of $ 2,100,000 in the Company’s deposit accounts (restricted cash) at JP Morgan Chase. As
of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the balance outstanding on the line of credit was $ 802,738 .
During
February 2023, the Company entered into a variable rate line of credit with Morgan Stanley which is secured by the marketable securities
held in our brokerage account. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the balance outstanding was $ 10,114 and $ 1,980,937 , at
a rate of 7.21 %, respectively, as the Company paid off the majority of the line of credit during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Note
14. CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE
In
May 2022, we entered into two separate but identical $ 300,000 (total $ 600,000 ), 10.00 % annual interest rate convertible notes payable
(“Convertible Notes”) with two individual consultants (“Note Holder”) to assist with services including an initial
public offering preparation and listing to NASDAQ or other national exchange, assist the Company and its counsel in preparing a code
of conduct and employment agreements, franchise development, and valuation increase through growth among other services. The original
terms of each note include a 15 % original issue discount (“OID”), 292 warrants, no prepayment penalty and a maturity of February
25, 2023 .
The
warrants are exercisable at $ 4,800 per share for five years and a cashless option and a mandatory exercise over $ 9,600 with no prepayment
penalty. The warrants are non-exercisable for one year from issuance. The valuation assumptions used in the Black-Sholes model to determine
the fair value of each warrant awarded in 2022: expected stock price volatility ranged from 40.06 % to 80.17 %; expected term in years
5.00 with a discount for the one-year lockout period; and risk-free interest rate 2.95 %.
21
The
Note Holder has the right, at any time on or after the issuance date and prior to the maturity date, to convert all or any portion of
the then outstanding and unpaid principal plus any accrued interest thereon into shares of the Company’s common stock. The per
share conversion price will be convertible into shares of common stock equal to 70 % multiplied by the lower of (i) the volume weighted
average of the closing sales price of the common stock on the date that the Company’s listing on the NASDAQ Global Market or other
national exchange (“Uplisting”) is successfully consummated or (ii) the lowest closing price for the five trading days following
the date of Uplisting, not including the Uplisting day.
In
the event the Company (i) makes a public announcement that it intends to be acquired by, consolidate or merge with any other corporation
or entity (other than a merger in which the Company is the surviving or continuing corporation and its capital stock is unchanged) or
sell or transfer all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or (ii) any person, group or entity (including the Company) publicly
announces a tender offer to purchase 50 % or more of the common stock, then the conversion price will be equal to the lower of the conversion
price and a 25% discount to the announced acquisition provided, that, the conversion will never be less than a price that is the lower
of (iii) the closing price (as reflected on Nasdaq.com) immediately preceding the signing of these notes; or (iv) the average closing
price of the Company’s common stock (as reflected on Nasdaq.com) for the five trading days immediately preceding the signing of
these notes.
In
2022 and at the time off issuance, the Company elected to follow the relative fair value method to allocate the proceeds to the warrants,
OID, and convertible notes (collectively the “Financial Instruments”). Total estimated fair value of the Financial Instruments
was $ 1,387,060 . The pro-rata allocation of the $ 450,000 total proceeds was $ 282,109 to the warrants, $ 21,899 to the OID and $ 145,992
to the convertible notes. The fair value of the warrants exceeded the pro-rata allocation of proceeds to the warrants and the convertible
notes by $ 445,032 , which the Company recorded as interest expense at the time of issuance.
Based
on an estimated 70% discounted conversion price, the Company recorded $ 192,857 in interest expense and a corresponding increase in the
notes payable. The Company has elected to account for the convertible notes at fair market value. The fair market value will be adjusted
at each reporting period. The total outstanding balance for each convertible note as of December 31, 2022, was $ 225,000 (total $ 450,000 )
and accrued interest was $ 16,480 . In March 2023, we extended each note’s maturity to July 31, 2023 and increased each note’s
borrowing limit to $ 375,000 .
In
July 2023, the Company and Convertible Note Holders entered into Warrant Cancellation Agreements, whereby the warrants were cancelled
when the Merger (business combination) with Deep Medicine Acquisition Corp. was completed. Also in July 2023, the convertible notes were
modified whereby the maturity date was extended by up to an additional eight months (February 29, 2024), to be in two extensions of four
months each. Five days prior to the extension deadline the Company was to issue 9,000 shares (total 18,000 shares if the Company elects
the two extensions) of the Company’s stock. The Company did elect the extension. The Company has not issued the shares as of the
date of this filing.
There
was zero OID related to the Convertible Notes remaining as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and there was no OID interest
expense or amortization recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
As
of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the balance of the Convertible Notes was $ 954,622 . The Convertible Notes were paid off in
connection with the November 7, 2024, funding of the additional PIPE Convertible Notes referenced in Note 11.
Note
15. DIVIDEND NOTES PAYABLE
Prior
to the merger, we filed our tax returns as an S Corporation. Historically, all income tax liabilities and benefits of the Company are
passed through to the shareholders annually through distributions. No dividends were declared during 2023 or 2022. During 2021, the Board
of Directors declared $ 7,395,694 in dividends to the shareholders, payable in cash as the Company’s liquidity allows. During 2022,
the Company paid the shareholders $ 1,965,706 . In November 2022, each shareholder agreed to defer the accrued dividends payable by entering
into 6.00 % interest rate dividend notes payable. All outstanding and accrued interest is due and payable when the dividend notes payable
mature on December 31, 2025. Interest commenced accruing on January 1, 2023.
Dividends
declared, distributed, and accrued are as follows as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 32023:

Note
16. GROSS SALES ROYALTY PAYABLE
In
June 2015, we entered into a Royalty Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with a purchaser (“Purchaser”) for
a gross sales royalty. The Purchaser agreed to purchase a sales royalty for the sum of $ 1,000,000 plus applicable taxes. Upon mutual
agreement the Purchaser may purchase one or more additional royalties in an aggregate amount of up to $ 1,000,000 . For the period June
2015 through May 2017, the Company paid a monthly payment of $ 20,833 . Effective June 1, 2017 and all subsequent months, the monthly royalty
payment has been equal to the greater of $ 20,833 plus the amount determined in accordance with the following and of June 1, 2017:
i.
If
the trailing twelve-month revenue of the Company is equal to or less than $ 6,110,000 , 3.60 % of our monthly revenues, in perpetuity
(unless terminated in accordance with the Purchase Agreement);
ii.
If
trailing twelve-month revenue of the Company is equal to or greater than $ 17,200,000 , 1.30 % of our monthly revenues, in perpetuity
(unless terminated in accordance with the Purchase Agreement); or
iii.
If
trailing twelve-month revenue of the Company is greater than $ 6,110,000 but less than $ 17,200,000 , such percentage of monthly revenue
determined by dividing $ 220,060 by the amount of trailing twelve-month revenue and multiplying the result by 100, in perpetuity (unless
terminated in accordance with the Purchase Agreement).
The
royalty percentage was fixed at 3.6 % based on the trailing twelve-month revenue at the time of executing the Agreement (June 15, 2015).
On June 1, 2017, the royalty percentage was changed to 2.4 % based on the trailing 12-month revenues at that time as outlined in the table
above.
The
Agreement contains an option for a one-time buy down of the royalty rate. At any time following the date on which the Purchaser has received
royalty payments that are, in the aggregate, equal to two times the then applicable Aggregate Installment Amount ($ 1,000,000 ), we may
purchase and extinguish 75 % (but no more nor less) of all amounts owing or to become owing to the Purchaser hereunder. In the event we
want to exercise the buy down option, we would pay the Purchaser $ 750,000 ( 75 % of the $ 1,000,000 outstanding amount). The adjusted royalty
rate going forward would then be 0.6 % ( 75 % of the 2.4 %).
The
Agreement also contains an option for a buyout upon the change of control. If pursuant to a proposed change of control the acquirer under
such transaction requires, as a condition to the completion of such transaction, that the Company purchase and extinguish all amounts
owing or to become owing to the Purchaser hereunder, the Company will pay the greater of:
i.
An
amount equal to two times the aggregate installment amount as at the date of the change of control buyout notice; and
ii.
An
amount equal to A multiplied by B multiplied by C, where:
a.
A
is equal to the aggregate installment amount as at the date of the change of control divided by $ 22,500,000 ;
b.
B
is equal to 0.8; and
c.
C
is equal to the net equity value of the Company; or in the case of a proposed asset sale, the proposed net purchase price of all
or substantially all of the Company’s assets.
The
Agreement has neither a stated maturity nor an interest rate. While the royalty percentage can be reduced via a buydown, as previously
explained, the only avenue for terminating the Agreement is a buyout required by an acquirer in a change of control transaction. Absent
the change of control, the Agreement will survive in perpetuity at a royalty rate of 2.4 % or 0.6 % depending on whether or not the royalty
rate buydown option has been exercised.
Because
the gross sales royalty payable has no stated fixed interest nor maturity, it is considered variable interest perpetual debt. The periodic
variable payments to the Purchaser are recorded in interest expense. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the outstanding
amount was $ 1,000,000 . During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we incurred $ 295,809 and $ 402,816 , respectively, in interest expense
to the Purchaser.

A Warrants was estimated to be approximately $ 2,268,637 (or $ 1.61 per warrant) using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as of the
grant date (February 24, 2024) based on the following assumptions:
1.
The
expected volatility of 227.52 %;
2.
The
risk-free interest rate of 3.99 %;

The
expected life of five years .
As

1.
The
expected volatility of 227.52 %;
2.
The
risk-free interest rate of 3.99 %;
3.
The
expected life of thirty months .
Note
19. INCOME TAXES
We
have adopted the provisions of ASC 740-10-25, which provide recognition criteria and a related measurement model for uncertain tax positions
taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. ASC 740-10-25 requires that a position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return
be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not that the position would be sustained upon examination by tax
authorities.
Tax
positions that meet the more likely than not threshold are then measured using a probability weighted approach recognizing the largest
amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement . The Company had no tax positions relating
to open income tax returns that were considered to be uncertain as of September 30, 2024.
Prior
to the merger, the Company was an S Corporation for federal and state income tax purposes with all income tax liabilities and/or benefits
of the Company being passed through to the stockholders. As such, no recognition of federal or state income taxes for the Company has
been provided for prior to January 31, 2024, the date of the consummation of the Merger.
The
Company incurred a net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 of $ 2,931,370 , which is available to reduce future taxable income
for federal and state income taxes, respectively. The NOL can be carried forward indefinitely and can be used to offset 80% of future
taxable income. At the current federal tax rate of 21 % and including book to tax differences result in the current tax benefit NOL of
approximately $ 615,000 at September 30, 2024. The Company has no income tax effect due to the recognition of a full valuation allowance
on the expected tax benefits of future loss carry forwards based on uncertainty surrounding realization of such assets. During the nine
months ended September 30, 2024, the Company increased the valuation allowance from $ 0 to $ 615,000 .

Company
Overview
Since
1983, TruGolf has been passionate about driving the golf industry with innovative, indoor golf solutions. We build products that capture
the spirit of golf. Our mission is to help grow the game by making it more available, more approachable and more affordable, through
technology – because we believe golf is for everyone.
Our
team has built award-winning video games (including Links , a popular sports game for PC), innovative hardware solutions, and an
all-new e-sports platform to connect golfers around the world with TruGolf E6 Connect Software, our premier software engine. Since TruGolf’s
beginning, we have continued to define and redefine what is possible with golf technology.
In
addition to offering a variety of custom, professional, and portable golf simulators, TruGolf’s latest launch monitor, Apogee,
was created to improve accuracy and to make using the launch monitor easier. Features of Apogee include: a unique Apogee Voice Assistant,
a voice command system that allows users to navigate their TruGolf E6 Connect Software gameplay within rounds and practice sessions;
Laser Launchpad, a laser indicator that shows users where to place the ball and when the system is ready to record a swing and Point-of-Impact
(POI) slow-motion replay video.
Our
suite of hardware offerings in the golf technology space is expansive, offering something for virtually everyone from gamers to beginners
to professionals, and all consumers in between. Hardware offerings are sold through a global network of authorized resellers, retail
outlets and direct-to-consumer through a dedicated TruGolf sales team. Our suite of hardware offerings ranges from entry level pricing
at just under $400, to well over $100,000 for custom projects, creating a wide range of pricing options for nearly all consumers, and
providing TruGolf with a competitive advantage in creating a wide consumer base as compared to its competitors (who often only focus
in a narrow consumer price range).
TruGolf
creates top golf technology software in the marketplace through its TruGolf E6 Connect Software. Importantly, TruGolf E6 Connect Software
is designed not only for use with our suite of hardware offerings in the golf technology space, but also integrates with more than twenty-four
third party golf technology hardware manufacturers, translating to a market integration coverage equal to roughly 90% of golf technology
hardware in the global market space, which allows peer-to-peer play across these golf technology hardware manufacturers, allowing for
a unification of the golf technology space. TruGolf E6 Connect Software records, on average, over 725,000 indoor golf shots per day.
TruGolf E6 Connect Software is both PC and iOS compatible and can be used both indoors and outdoors.
TruGolf
has leveraged its unique position as one of the industry leaders in both hardware and software golf technology solutions to organize
and found the Virtual Golf Association (VGA). The VGA is a gamified virtual economy that takes place inside the TruGolf E6 Connect Software.
Users have a chance to earn points through play, practice, and more – providing a worldwide leaderboard of connected indoor golfers.
Each shot users take rewards them with points. These points can be used to purchase in-game enhancements, or to enter virtual golf tournaments
with real world prizes. The VGA is broken into three models:
●
Game
Analysis – rewards TruGolf E6 Connect Software users who track and measure their game. Users can set specific goals (e.g.,
shots hit per month, speed and distance gains, dispersion reduction) and earn points for hitting milestones. At the end of each month,
users can see how they compared against all other users utilizing the Game Analysis features.
29
●
Connected
Golf – rewards users for joining with their friends and playing golf online. Earn points for playing a new course or linking
up to play nine holes with another player utilizing TruGolf E6 Connect Software.
●
Virtual
Golf Association Events – events are worldwide leaderboard format, flighted by handicap, where users play and compete to shoot
the lowest score. These contests include stroke play, closest to the pin, match play, stableford, and more. Users earn points based
on how they finish in their division.
In
totality, TruGolf’s business model is designed to be positioned as the hub of golf technology, with groundbreaking hardware technologies
that we believe can become the industry standard and unifying the industry as a whole by serving as the leader of golf technology software
solutions through its TruGolf E6 Connect Software.
Recent
Developments
Business
Combination
On
January 31, 2024, the Company consummated the business combination (the “Closing”) contemplated by the previously announced
Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 21, 2023 (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”), by and
among the Company, DMAC Merger Sub Inc., a Nevada corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”),
Bright Vision Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, in the capacity as the Purchaser Representative thereunder, Christopher
Jones, in the capacity as the Seller Representative thereunder, and TruGolf, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“TruGolf Nevada”).
As a result of the Closing and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (i) Merger Sub merged with and into TruGolf (the
“Merger”), with TruGolf Nevada surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and (ii) the Company’s
name was changed from Deep Medicine Acquisition Corp. (“DMAQ”) to TruGolf Holdings, Inc. The Company’s Class A common
stock commenced trading on the Nasdaq Global Market LLC under the ticker symbol “TRUG” on February 1, 2024.
Accounting
for the Business Combination
The
Merger was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, DMAQ was treated
as the acquired company for accounting purposes, whereas TruGolf Nevada was treated as the accounting acquirer. In accordance with this
method of accounting, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of TruGolf Nevada issuing shares for the net assets of DMAQ,
accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of DMAQ and TruGolf Nevada were stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other
intangible assets recorded, and operations prior to the Business Combination were those of TruGolf Nevada. TruGolf Nevada has been determined
to be the accounting acquirer for purposes of the Business Combination based on an evaluation of the following facts and circumstances:
●
Legacy
TruGolf Nevada stockholders have a majority of the voting power of New TruGolf,
●
TruGolf
Nevada comprising the ongoing operations of New TruGolf,
●
TruGolf
Nevada contributing a majority of the governing body members of New TruGolf, and
●
TruGolf
Nevada’s senior management comprising the senior management of New TruGolf.
PIPE
Offering
On
November 2, 2023 and December 7, 2023, DMAQ executed loan agreements with certain accredited investors (together, the “Prior Loan
Agreements”) pursuant to which such investors agreed to loan DMAQ up to an aggregate $11,000,000 in exchange for the issuance of
convertible notes and warrants. On February 2, 2024, the Company executed a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”)
with each of the investors that executed the Prior Loan Agreements, which replaced, in their entirety, the Prior Loan Agreements, and
with additional investors (together, the “PIPE Investors”). Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement,
the PIPE Investors agreed to purchase from the TruGolf Holdings (i) senior convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of up
to $15,500,000 (the “PIPE Convertible Notes”), (ii) Series A warrants to initially purchase 1,409,091 shares of the Company’s
Class A common stock (the “Series A Warrants”); and (iii) Series B warrants to initially purchase 1,550,000 shares of the
Company’s Class A common stock (the “Series B Warrants,” and collectively with the Series A Warrants, the “PIPE
Warrants”) (the “PIPE Financing”).
30
The
Purchase Agreement contemplates funding of the investment (the “Investment”) across multiple tranches. At the first closing
(the “Initial Closing”) an aggregate principal amount of $4,650,000 of PIPE Convertible Notes will be issued upon the satisfaction
of certain customary closing conditions in exchange for aggregate gross proceeds of $4,185,000, representing an original issue discount
of 10%. On such date (the “Initial Closing Date”), we also issued the PIPE Investors the Series A Warrants and the Series
B Warrants.
Subject
to satisfying the conditions discussed below, TruGolf Holdings, Inc. has the right under the Purchase Agreement, but not the obligation,
to require that the PIPE Investors purchase additional Notes at up to two additional closings. Upon notice at any time after the 2nd
trading day following the Initial Closing Date, TruGolf Holdings may require that the PIPE Investors purchase an additional aggregate
principal amount of $4,650,000 of PIPE Convertible Notes, in exchange for aggregate gross proceeds of $4,185,000, if (i) the Registration
Statement (as described below) has been filed; and (ii) certain customary closing conditions are satisfied (the “First Mandatory
Additional Closing”). Upon notice at any time after the 2nd trading day following the date that the First Mandatory Additional
Closing is consummated, TruGolf Holdings may require that the PIPE Investors purchase an additional aggregate principal amount of $6,200,000
of PIPE Convertible Notes, in exchange for aggregate gross proceeds of $5,580,000, if (i) the shareholder approval is obtained (as described
below); (ii) the Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC; and (iii) certain customary closing conditions are satisfied
(the “Second Mandatory Additional Closing”).
In
addition, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, as amended by the Waiver (described below) each PIPE Investor has the right, but not the
obligation, to require that, upon notice, TruGolf Holdings sell to such PIPE Investor at one or more additional closings such PIPE Investor’s
pro rata share of up to a maximum aggregate principal amount of $10,850,000 in additional PIPE Convertible Notes (each such additional
closing, an “Additional Optional Closing”); provided that, the principal amount of the additional PIPE Convertible Notes
issued at each Additional Optional Closing must equal at least $250,000. If a PIPE Investor has not elected to effect an Additional Optional
Closing on or prior to August 30, 2025, such PIPE Investor shall have no further right to effect an Additional Optional Closing under
the Purchase Agreement.
On
August 13, 2024, the Company entered into those certain waiver and amendment agreements (the “Waivers”), pursuant to which the Company
and the PIPE Investors agreed to: (i) waive any breaches or defaults caused by the Company’s failure to timely file its SEC reports

allowing such amounts to be added to the principal amount of the PIPE Convertible Notes, at the option of the PIPE Investors. In addition,
certain PIPE Investors agreed to acquire additional PIPE Convertible Notes without regard to any volume or price requirements in the
instruments. In connection with the Waiver, the Company issued an aggregate of 192,151 shares in satisfaction of certain registration
statement delay payments and issued an aggregate of 157,582 shares in satisfaction of outstanding interest payments. Such payments were
made at the “Alternate Conversion Price” set forth in the PIPE Convertible Notes, which is equal to the lesser of (i) the
Conversion Price, and (ii) 90% of the lowest volume weighted average price of the Class A common stock during the five consecutive trading
days immediately prior to such conversion.
On
November 7, 2024, the Company entered into those certain amendments to the Waivers (the “Amendments”), pursuant to which the Company and
the PIPE Investors agreed to: (i) waive any breaches or defaults caused by the Company’s failure to timely file its SEC reports
through August 21, 2024; and (ii) waive certain registration failures until October 3, 2024. In addition, the PIPE Investors waived any
breaches or defaults that may have occurred or will occur solely as a result of the Company’s failure to comply with the continued

for continued listing, provided that the foregoing waiver shall expire on January 15, 2025, (ii) the Company’s failure to meet the market value of publicly held shares requirement for continued listing,
provided that the foregoing waiver shall expire on January 15, 2025, and/or (iii) the Company’s failure to

further that to the extent the Company is in compliance with all other Nasdaq Stock Market listing requirements and has filed a preliminary

to March 15, 2025. In connection with the Amendment, the Company issued an aggregate of 116,959 shares in satisfaction of certain registration
statement delay payments and issued an aggregate of 65,790 shares in satisfaction of outstanding interest payments. Such payments were
made at the “Alternate Conversion Price” set forth in the PIPE Convertible Notes, which is equal to the lesser of (i) the

TruGolf
Links Franchising, LLC
On
May 10, 2024 the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary in the state of Delaware. TruGolf Links Franchising, LLC (“Links”)
has a sole member, TruGolf, Inc. Links was formed to establish and sell franchises that would use the Company’s indoor golf and
recreational sports simulators and other equipment. Links offers a Service Area franchise agreement for a single location. It also offers
a regional developer franchise agreement that allows the franchisee to sell franchises within its region. The upfront fees range from
$45,000 to $100,000. Links has received proceeds of $500,000 from its CEO and $75,000 from a third party to purchase the franchise rights
to some regions yet to be determined. As of September 30, 2024, the Company recorded $575,000 of deferred revenue and incurred $306,539
of expenses that are included in the Selling, general and administrative category.
Capitalized
software development cost
We
capitalize certain costs related to the development of our software used in our simulators. In accordance with authoritative guidance,
including ASC 985-20, Software-Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased or Marketed , we began to capitalize these costs when the technological
feasibility was established and preliminary development efforts were successfully completed, management authorized and committed project
funding, and it was probable that the project would be completed and the software would be used as intended. Such costs are amortized
when placed in service, on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the related asset, estimated to be three years beginning
on February 1, 2024. Costs incurred prior to meeting these criteria together with costs incurred for training and maintenance are expensed
as incurred and recorded in product development expenses on our statements of operations. The Company does not capitalize any testing
or maintenance costs. The accounting for these capitalized software costs requires us to make significant judgments, assumptions and
estimates related to the timing and amount of recognized capitalized software development costs. For the nine months ended September
30, 2024 we capitalized $1,967,418 of costs related to the development of software applications. Amortization of capitalized software
costs was $279,001 for the for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The balance of capitalized software was $1,738,417 net of accumulated
amortization of $279,001 at September 30, 2024.
Ethos
Management INC
The
Ethos Asset Management Loan Agreement (“Loan Agreement”) stipulates that fundings should happen approximately every 30 banking
days, subject to Ethos completing periodic internal audits to ensure the Company was in compliance with the terms of loan agreement.
Ethos Management informed the Company in August 2023, that unrelated to TruGolf, Ethos Management is currently undergoing a routine audit
of its loan portfolio, and pending the close of the audit, borrowers may experience delays in drawing on funds when requested. Due to
the lack of additional fundings and in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement, in February 2024, we sent Ethos a notice of termination
for materially breaching the Loan Agreement. Based on the termination for default clause in the Loan Agreement, we are entitled to retain
all the funds disbursed by Ethos and Ethos must release the deposit collateral. The Company has recorded a liability of $589,619 as of
September 30, 2024 which is the amount remaining after applying the security collateral of $1,875,000 against the loan payable and accrued
interest.
31
Industry
Update
We
note that the simulator/screen golf market is growing according to the National Golf Foundation (www.ngf.org/simulator-golf-sees-real-surge),
“An estimated 6.2 million Americans hit golf balls with a club in a golf simulator within the past year, a total that surged 73%
compared to pre-pandemic levels. Golf’s continued evolution includes many new forms of the game and simulated golf is a part of
it.” Based on the growing golf simulator industry trend, we continue to believe there is a strong demand for our new hardware and
software products. Based on the growing industry golf simulator trend noted above, we continue to believe there is a strong demand for
our new hardware and software products.
According
to recently released data from The National Golf Foundation, 45 million Americans aged 6 and above played golf in 2023. This record-setting
total includes 32.9 million people who played off-course golf, with 18.4 million of them who participated exclusively in off-course golf
activities at places such as driving ranges, indoor golf simulators, or golf entertainment venues. Only 12.1 million played exclusively
on-course, furthering the trend.
Principal
External Factors Affecting Our Operating Results
We
believe that our performance and future success depend on many factors that present significant opportunities for us but also pose risks
and challenges, including those discussed below and in the section entitled “Risk Factors”.
●
Market
acceptance . The growth of our business depends on our ability to gain broader acceptance of our current products by continuing
to make users aware of the significant benefits of our products to generate increased demand and frequency of use, and thus increase
our sales. Our ability to grow our business will also depend on our ability to expand our customer base in existing or new target
markets, including international markets. Although we have increased the number of users of TruGolf hardware and software product
offerings and continue to grow our channels globally through established relationships and focused sales efforts, we cannot provide
assurance that our efforts will continue to increase the use of our products.
●
Sales
force size and effectiveness. The rate at which we grow our sales force and expansion channels and the speed at which newly hired
salespeople and sales channels become effective can impact our revenue growth and our costs incurred in anticipation of such growth.
We intend to continue to make significant investments in our sales and marketing organization and channels by increasing the number
of sales representatives and expanding our international programs to help facilitate further adoption of our products as well as
broaden awareness of our products to new customers. We are slowly expanding into EMEA through a quickly growing network of distributors
that will each slowly develop their respective territories, sales from EMEA are still below 5% of total sales. We have also signed
a Joint Venture agreement with a partner in China to manage all distribution needs across Asia. We are not required to invest in
any of these markets, and as such take a lower margin on products sold there, therefore we expect slowly growing impacts on top line
revenue from these globalization efforts.
●
Product
and geographic mix; timing. Our financial results, including our gross margins, may fluctuate from period to period based on
the timing of orders, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and the number of available selling days in a particular period,
which can be impacted by a number of factors, such as holidays or days of severe inclement weather in a particular geography, the
mix of products sold and the geographic mix of where products are sold.
Principal
Components of Revenues, Costs and Expenses
Revenues
Our
revenues come from the sale of TruGolf software and hardware, which products are sold through a global network of authorized resellers,
retail outlets and direct-to-consumer through a dedicated TruGolf sales team.
Cost
of Revenues
Cost
of revenues consists primarily of costs that are directly related to the delivery of our TruGolf hardware and software products, excluding
depreciation but including direct material, labor, manufacturing overhead, reserves for estimated warranty costs and charges to write-down
the inventory carrying value when it exceeds the estimated net realizable value.
32
Operating
Expenses
Royalties
We
have agreements with certain software golf hardware vendors who bundle our tracking and golf course software with their hardware. We
pay them a royalty based on the number of units or subscriptions they sell. The royalty percentages typically range between 20% to 30%.
The royalty agreements are for one year, with automatic renewal unless each party gives a thirty-day written notice of the intent to
cancel the contract prior to the renewal date.
Salaries,
Wages and Benefits
Salaries,
wages and benefits are expenses earned by our employees in the executive, information technology, finance and accounting, human resources,
administrative functions and outside contractors. Also included in salaries, wages and benefits are employer payroll taxes, health, dental
and life insurance expenses.
Selling,
General and Administrative
Sales
and marketing expenses consist primarily of advertising, training events, brand building, product marketing activities and installation
and shipping costs. We expect sales and marketing costs will continue to increase as we expand our international selling and marketing
activities, hire additional personnel, and build brand awareness through advertising and training.
General
and administrative expenses consist primarily of professional fees paid for legal, accounting, auditing, and consulting services, bad
debt, licenses and association dues, facilities (including rent and utilities) bank and credit card processing fees and other expenses
related to general and administrative activities.
We
anticipate that our general and administrative expenses will continue to increase as we continue hiring to support our growth. We also
anticipate that we will incur increased accounting, audit, legal, regulatory, compliance, and investor and public relations expenses
associated with operating as a public registrant.
Other
Expense
Interest
Expense
Interest
expense consists of interest expenses associated with issuing notes and balances outstanding under our debt obligations and the gross
sales royalty payable, the amortization of debt issuance costs and original issue discounts associated with such borrowings.
Principal
Cash Flows
We
generate cash primarily from our operating activities and, historically, we have used cash flows from operating activities and available
borrowings under certain notes payable as the primary sources of funds to purchase inventory and to fund working capital and capital
expenditures, growth and expansion opportunities (see also “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below). The management of our
working capital is closely tied to operating cash flows, as working capital can be impacted by, among other things, our accounts receivable
activities, the level of inventories, which may increase or decrease in response to current and expected demand, and the size and timing
of our trade accounts payable payment cycles.
Critical
Accounting Estimates
We
prepare our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The application
of many accounting principles requires us to make assumptions, estimates and/or judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses in our financial statements. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and other
assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. These assumptions, estimates and/or judgments, however, are often
subjective and they and our actual results may change based on changing circumstances or changes in our analyses. If actual amounts are
ultimately different from our estimates, the revisions are included in our results of operations for the period in which the actual amounts
first become known. We believe the following critical accounting estimates could potentially produce materially different results if
we were to change underlying assumptions, estimates and/or judgments. See also Note 2 for a summary of our significant accounting policies.
33
Accounts
Receivable, net
We
manage credit risk associated with our accounts receivable at the customer level.
We
believe the concentration of credit risk, with respect to our receivables, is limited because our customer base is comprised of a number
of geographically diverse customers. We manage credit risk through credit approvals and other monitoring procedures.
Our
allowance is estimated using a loss rate model based on delinquency. The estimated loss rate is based on our historical experience with
specific customers, our understanding of our current economic circumstances, reasonable and supportable forecasts, and our own judgment
as to the likelihood of ultimate payment based upon available data. The actual rate of future credit losses, however, may not be similar
to past experience. Our estimate of doubtful accounts could change based on changing circumstances, including changes in the economy
or in the particular circumstances of individual customers. Accordingly, we may be required to increase or decrease our allowance for
doubtful accounts.
Inventory,
net
All
of our inventory consists of raw materials and are valued at the lower of historic cost or net realizable value; where net realizable
value is considered to be the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable cost of completion,
disposal and transportation. Historic inventory costs are calculated on an average or specific cost basis. The Company records inventory
write-downs for excess or obsolete inventories based upon assumptions on current and future demand forecasts.

The
fair value of the warrants is estimated on the date of issuance using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires the input
of subjective assumptions, including the expected term of the warrants, expected stock price volatility, and expected dividends. These
estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. Expected volatilities used in the valuation
model are based on the average volatility of the comparable companies publicly traded on recognized stock exchanges. The risk-free rate
for the expected term of the option is based on the United States Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant.

Revenues
Our
revenues were $6,236,795 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $3,431,735 for the three months ended September 30,
2023, an increase of $2,805,060 or 81.74%. The increase in revenues was due primarily to the increase of our product acceptance and greater
penetration in the industry market.

Cost
of Revenues
The
cost of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2024, increased $390,402 or 25.46% to $1,924,093 from $1,533,691 for the three
months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was due primarily to the increase in revenues as noted above. The Company’s adjustment
to inventory included in the cost of revenue, resulted in a reduction of costs of $115,692 and charged cost of revenues $267,224 during
the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Materials and components to manufacture our simulators primarily include
fabricated steel, cut cloth, turf, computers, cameras and other high-end electronics which are subject to inflationary pricing pressures.
The cost of shipping our finished simulators increased $36,741 to $163,232 during the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared
to the same period in 2023 due to price increases from our national shipping companies UPS, FedEx and Seko. We are continuously working
with our suppliers for volume pricing discounts and extended contract terms.
Operating
Expenses
Our
operating expenses were $3,440,421 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $4,221,755 for the three months ended September
30, 2023, a decrease of $781,334 or (18.51)%. The decrease for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months
ended September 30, 2023, was due primarily to:
i.
An
increase of $36,021 in royalty expenses was due to the addition of new distributors and increases in the royalty percentages for
certain resellers.
ii.
A
$557,170 decrease in salaries, wages and benefits expenses. The three-month period year over year decrease is a result of the Company’s
human resource management efforts to reduce payroll expenses.
iii.
A
$260,185 decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses. The three months over the prior year’s three months decrease
is a result of sales and marketing expenses decreasing by $323,604 and bad debt expense decreasing by $450,000. During the same periods,
rent and facility costs increased by $23,917, insurance expenses increased by $169,126 (principally for liability insurance), professional
fees increased by $63,963 (of which $148,438 was incurred by Links) and subscription software expense increased by $128,092. Other
general and administrative expenses increased by $128,321.
Interest
Income
Our
interest income was $38,592 and $21,197 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Our
interest expense was $971,048 and $358,354 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, an increase of $612,694
or 170.97% primarily due to the interest incurred on the PIPE convertible notes.

Cost
of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, increased $651,899 or 14.39% to $5,183,328 from $4,531,429 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2023. The increase was due primarily to an increase in revenues as discussed above. The inventory adjustment included
in the cost of revenues increased by $88,786 from $35,105 to $123,891 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Materials and components to manufacture our simulators primarily include fabricated steel, cut cloth, turf, computers, cameras and other

Operating
Expenses
Our
operating expenses were $10,795,100 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $16,074,927 for the nine months ended September
30, 2023, a decrease of $5,279,827 or (32.85%). The decrease for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the nine months
ended September 30, 2023, was due primarily to:
i.
An
increase of $272,302 in royalty expenses was due to the addition of new distributors and increases in the royalty percentages for
certain resellers.
ii.
A
$1,517,318 decrease in salaries, wages and benefits expenses due primarily to management’s efforts to reduce payroll expenses.
iii.
A
$4,034,811 decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses. The nine months over the prior year’s nine months decrease
is a result of:
1.
In
March 2023, the Board of Directors granting and authorizing the issuance 821 shares of common stock two consultants (and holders
of the convertible notes described in Note 12 – Convertible Noted Payable in our annual audited financial statements included
elsewhere in this Form 8K) in March 2023 for consulting service performed. The Company recorded consulting fee expense (noncash)
of $4,493,333 (estimated fair value of the stock) at the time of grant and issuance.
2.
Selling,
general and administrative expenses (such as facilities professional fees, warehouse, travel, office supplies etc.) increased $360,173
for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as a result of amortization of
capitalized software costs of $279,001, an increase in professional fees of $639,941 (of which $306,539 was incurred by Links), an
increase in insurance expense of $428,627, an increase of facility expense of $153,400, an increase in software subscriptions and
other subscriptions expense of $379,973, an increase in bank charges of $28,093, offset in part by a decrease in sales and marketing
of $528,711, a decrease in bad debt expense of $657,271 and a decrease in general and administrative expenses of $362,880.
Interest
Income
Our
interest income was $105,800 and $71,542 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Interest
Expense
Our
interest expense was $2,176,810 and $1,265,775 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, an increase of $911,035
or 71.97% primarily due to the interest on the PIPE convertible notes.
36
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Business
Combination
The
Company consummated the business combination described in Note 1 and Note 2 on January 31, 2024. The Company received proceeds of approximately
$2,237,213, net of closing costs, expenses and commissions. The Company recorded a PIPE Convertible Note, the source of the proceeds
from the business combination, of $4,650,000 with an original issue discount of $465,000 (or 10%).
The
Company received proceeds of $575,000 from the agreements for franchise regions sold by its wholly owned subsidiary, TruGolf Links Franchising,
LLC, which was recorded as deferred revenue. The Company expects to grow this revenue stream in subsequent quarters.
We
have primarily obtained cash to fund our operations through the reinvestment of free cash flows generated from our business operations,
issuance of common stock to private friend and family investors, issuance of term loans, issuance of notes payable and convertible debt
instruments, and royalty structures.
As
of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had $7,452,185 and 5,397,564 in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash and current
working capital deficit of $1,736,0636 and working capital of $1,988,267, respectively.
In
December 2023, we entered into a $2,000,000 variable rate line of credit with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. The purpose of the new line
of credit was to consolidate the balances outstanding on the note payable and the previous line of credit, which had matured. The line
of credit matures on December 31, 2024. The line of credit has an annual interest rate computed at the Adjusted SOFR (Secured Overnight
Financing Rate) Rate and at a rate of 3.00% above the SOFR Rate. The Adjusted SOFR rate means the sum of the Applicable margin (3.50%
per annum) plus the SOFR rate applicable to the interest period plus the Unsecured to Secured Rate Adjustment. The majority of the variable
rate line of credit was paid during the three months ended June 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2024, the remaining balance was $10,114
and was included in the cash balance.
Cash
Flow from Operating Activities
For
the nine months ended September 30, 2024 the net cash provided by our operating activities was $3,071,781 including the liquidation of
the marketable securities account of $2,478,953. The change in the remaining operating assets and liabilities was $2,550,049, depreciation
and amortization of $331,728, the amortization of the ROU asset of $251,612 and the amortization of original issue discount of $47,447.
For
the nine months ended September 30, 2023 the net cash used in our operating activities was $6,121,139. The change in operating assets
and liabilities was a decrease of $3,714,981. Other assets increased due to the $1,875,000 deposit paid for the Ethos Management Inc
loan and $116,040 in Ethos Management Inc deferred loan fees. The net loss of $8,011,889 was partially offset by increases to cash from
depreciation and amortization of $45,682, amortization of convertible notes original issue discount of $183,695, amortization of ROU
asset of $217,101, bad debt expense of $665,920 and stock-based compensation expense of $4,493,333.
Cash
Flows from Investing Activities
For
the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the cash used by our investing activities was $1,967,533 and $2,508,749, respectively.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 the Company capitalized software development costs of $1,967,418. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2023 the Company purchased fixed assets of $89,024 and purchased short-term investments of $2,419,725.
Cash
Flows from Financing Activities
The
Company consummated the business combination described in Note 1 and Note 2 on January 31, 2024. The Company received proceeds of approximately
$2,325,315, net of closing costs, expenses and commissions. The Company recorded a PIPE Convertible Note, the source of the proceeds
from the business combination, of $4,650,000 less an original issue discount of 465,000 (or 10%).
For
the nine months ended September 30, 2024 the cash provided by our financing activities was $950,373. The Company received net proceeds
from the Merger of $2,325,315, made debt payments of $294,005, paid $15,716 of assumed liabilities, paid $100,000 on a loan assumed in
the Merger, and paid off the line of credit of $1,980,937. The Company received proceeds of $1,000,000 from the Company’s chief
executive officer.
37
For
the nine months ended September 30, 2023 we borrowed $1,945,397 on our Morgan Stanely margin line of credit account, received proceeds
of $2,499,999 from loans, received $185,500 from convertible note holders and made debt payments of $107,837. One shareholder returned
$75,096 in overpaid past dividends. The loan proceeds were used for ongoing operations.
The
Company has incurred net losses and negative operating cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. As the Company
continues to incur losses, successful transition to profitability is dependent on achieving a level of revenues adequate to support the
Company’s cost structure. Unless and until this occurs, the Company may need to raise capital or issue debt to support ongoing
operations.
The
Company’s financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction
of obligations in the normal course of business. Continuation as a going concern is dependent upon continued operations of the Company,
which in turn is dependent upon the Company’s ability to meet its financial requirements, raise additional capital, and the success
of its future operations.
Under
the rules of ASC Subtopic 205-40 “Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern” (“ASC 205-40”), the Company
is required to evaluate whether conditions and/or events raise substantial doubt about its ability to meet its future financial obligations
as they become due within one year after the date that these financial statements are issued or available to be issued. This evaluation
considers a Company’s current available cash and projected cash needs over the one-year evaluation period but may not consider
things beyond its control.
The
Company believes the recent merger, as described in Note 1 and Note 2, may enable us to raise additional capital through equity offerings
and not incur more debt or loans payable.
Our
significant projected cash requirements related primarily to operating expenses for the next 12 months include $7,000,000 to $8,000,000
for employees’ salaries, wages and benefits, $950,000 to $1,200,000 for installation and customers service, and $1,000,000 to $1,200,000
for development of software and hardware. No assurances can be given that the results anticipated by our projections will occur. With
respect to long-term liquidity requirements, approximately $12,400,000 of our debt contractually matures in the years 2025 to 2033.
In
the event the projected results do not occur, we may have to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development and commercialization
of one or more product offerings and other strategic initiatives. Additionally, we would reduce the number of new hires planned during
the remaining months of 2024, and implement cost reduction measures such as a reduction in headcount, reducing the planned sales and
marketing expense among other cost reduction measures. We may also issue common stock to potential investors to increase our liquidity.
Management
believes the plan outlined above provides an opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.
Material
Cash Requirements for Known Contractual and Other Obligations
We
have entered into operating leases for our corporate headquarters and a warehouse in Centerville, Utah. The leases have varying terms
expiring between 2023 and 2025. In June 2023, we entered into a sixty-month, triple net lease for additional warehouse space in North
Salt Lake, Utah. The lease payments range between $10,457 and $11,770.
We
enter into agreements in the normal course of business with various vendors, which are generally cancellable upon notice. Payments due
upon cancellation consist only of payments for services provided or expenses incurred, including non-cancellable obligations of service
providers, up to the date of cancellation.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
Management
has evaluated all recent accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board and determined that none of the
pronouncements will have a material impact on our financial statements. We will continue to monitor the issuance of any new accounting
pronouncements and assess their potential impact on the financial statements in future periods.
38
Emerging
Growth Company
We
are an emerging growth company, as defined in the JOBS Act. Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised
accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have elected to use this extended transition period
for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the
earlier of the date that (i) we are no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) we affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended
transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, these financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with
new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates. We may choose to early adopt any new or revised accounting
standards whenever such early adoption is permitted for private companies.
Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest
Rate Risk
We
had cash and cash equivalents totaling $7,452,185 as of September 30, 2024. Cash equivalents were invested primarily in low interest
checking or savings accounts. Our investment policy is focused on the preservation of capital and supporting our liquidity needs. Under
our investment policy, we will only invest in highly rated securities, issued by the U.S. government or liquid money market funds. We
do not invest in financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes, nor do we use leveraged financial instruments. We may utilize
external investment managers who adhere to the guidelines of our investment policy. A hypothetical 10% change in interest rates would
not have a material impact on the value of our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, net loss or cash flows.
We
do not have significant exposure to interest rate risk as only our lines of credit are variable rate. As of September 30, 2024, the variable
rate lines of credit had a balance outstanding of $802,738 compared to the total fixed rate debt outstanding of $14,509,137. Thus, management
believes a hypothetical 10% change in interest rates would not have a material impact on annualized interest expenses.
We
maintain our cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed any applicable Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”)
insurance limits. As of September 30, 2024, the amount exceeding the federally insured limits was $6,125,053.
Cybersecurity
Risk
We
have completed an assessment of our suite of controls including technology hardware and software solutions, regular testing of the resiliency
of our systems including penetration and disaster recovery testing as well as regular training sessions on cybersecurity risks and mitigation
strategies and have engaged a third party to bring us up to industry best practices. We have established an incident response plan and
team to take steps it determines are appropriate to contain, mitigate and remediate a cybersecurity incident and to respond to the associated
business, legal and reputational risks. There is no assurance that these efforts will fully mitigate cybersecurity risk and mitigation
efforts are not an assurance that no cybersecurity incidents will occur and have had no such breaches of security.

Not

ITEM
4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We
maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in our filings under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in
the SEC’s rules and forms and that material information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief
Executive Officer (CEO), who is our principal executive officer, and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), who is our principal financial and
accounting officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Our CEO and CFO have evaluated these disclosure
controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and have determined that such disclosure
controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2024 due to the material weaknesses discussed below.
39
Notwithstanding
the conclusion that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report, we
believe that our consolidated financial statements and other information contained in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q present fairly,
in all material respects, our business, financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented.
In
connection with the preparation of our financial statements as of and for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we identified
material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting that we are currently working to remediate, which relate to: (a)
insufficient segregation of duties in the financial statement close process; (b) a lack of sufficient levels of staff with public company
and technical accounting experience to maintain proper control activities and perform risk assessment and monitoring activities; and
(c) insufficient information systems controls, including access and change management controls. We have concluded that these material
weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting occurred because we did not have the necessary business processes, personnel
and related internal controls to operate in a manner to satisfy the accounting and financial reporting timeline requirements of a public
company.
In
making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (issued in 2013).
We
are focused on designing and implementing effective internal control measures to improve our evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures,
including internal control over financial reporting, and remediating the material weaknesses. In order to remediate these material weaknesses,
we have taken and plan to take the following actions:
●
The
hiring and planned continued hiring of additional accounting staff with public company experience;
●
Implementation
of new enterprise resource planning system to replace the prior enterprise resource planning system;
●
Implementation
of additional review controls and processes requiring timely account reconciliation and analyses of certain transactions and accounts,
and
●
The
planned hiring of a national accounting firm to assist in the design and implementation of controls and remediation of control gaps.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There
was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15-d-15(f) under the Exchange Act)
during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
control over financial reporting.

ITEM
1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We
are not currently a party to any lawsuit or proceeding which, in the opinion of management, is likely to have a material adverse effect
on us or our business.
Item
1A. Risk Factors.
In
addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors set forth below and discussed in
the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Form S-1 (file number 333-277068), filed with the SEC on February 14, 2024, which
are incorporated herein by reference. The risks described in such reports are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks
and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business,
financial condition and/or operating results.
We
are currently not in compliance with the listing requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market, and if we are unable to regain and maintain
compliance with the listing requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market, our common stock will be delisted from The Nasdaq Capital Market
which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and could make it more difficult for shareholders to sell their
shares.
Our
common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market, and we are therefore subject to its continued listing requirements, including requirements
with respect to the market value of publicly-held shares, market value of listed shares, minimum bid price per share, and minimum stockholder’s
equity, among others, and requirements relating to board and committee independence. If we fail to satisfy one or more of the requirements,
we may be delisted from The Nasdaq Capital Market.
On
July 15, 2024, we received a deficiency letter from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock
Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying us that since we had failed to file our Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2024 we no longer
complied with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1). We have filed the Form 10-Q, but there is no assurance that we will not incur similar deficiencies
in the future.
On
August 19, 2024, we received a deficiency letter from the Staff notifying us that we were not in compliance with Nasdaq Global Market’s
Listing Rule 5450(b)(1)(A), which requires a $10,000,000 minimum stockholders’ equity standard. We have been provided 45 calendar
days, or until November 18, 2024, to supply a specific plan to regain compliance with all Nasdaq Global Market listing requirements and
our time frame to complete the plan. If the plan is accepted, Nasdaq can grant an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the date
of the letter, or until April 1, 2025, to evidence compliance. If the plan is not accepted, we will have the right to appeal and our
Class A common stock would remain listed on The Nasdaq Global Market until the completion of the appeal process. To regain compliance,
we must have stockholders’ equity of at least $10 million.
On
November 5, 2024, we received two additional deficiency letters from the Staff notifying us that we were not in compliance with the requirement
to have market value of publicly held shares (“MVPHS”) of $15,000,000 and that we were not in compliance with the requirement
to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share. We have a compliance period of 180 calendar days (or May 5, 2025) in which to regain
compliance with both deficiencies. We can regain compliance with the MVPHS requirement, if at any time during this compliance period
our MVPHS closes at $15,000,000 or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, We can regain compliance with the bid price requirement,
if at any time during this compliance period our closing bid price is at least $1.00 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days,
In the event we do not regain compliance with these requirements prior to the expiration of the compliance period, we will receive written
notification that our securities are subject to delisting.
Delisting
from The Nasdaq Capital Market would adversely affect our ability to raise additional financing through the public or private sale of
equity securities, may significantly affect the ability of investors to trade our securities and may negatively affect the value and
liquidity of our common stock. Delisting also could have other negative results, including the potential loss of employee confidence,
the loss of institutional investors or interest in business development opportunities.
We
have required the holders of our PIPE Convertible Notes on two occasions to waive requirements under the instruments and related agreements
in order to avoid being in default on the PIPE Convertible Notes, and there is no assurance such holders will agree to future waivers
if fall out of compliance with the requirements set forth in such instruments.
We
currently have outstanding an aggregate of $8,155,625 in principal amount of PIPE Convertible Notes. In August and November 2024, the
holders of our PIPE Convertible Notes have agreed to waive requirements under the instruments and related agreements in order to avoid
having us be in default on the PIPE Convertible Notes. The waiver we received in November 2024 requires us to comply with the continued
listing requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market before January 15, 2025; provided that with respect to the minimum bid price requirement
to the extent we are in compliance with all other Nasdaq Stock Market listing requirements and have filed a preliminary proxy statement
to hold a special meeting to vote on a reverse stock split to remedy the bid price failure, the waiver shall be extended to March 15,
2025. As such, we will be required to satisfy the stockholders’ equity and MVPHS requirements prior to January 15, 2025 or receive
another waiver from the holders of our PIPE Convertible Notes, or we will be in default on the PIPE Convertible Notes, which would accelerate
the PIPE Convertible Notes and allow the holders to convert the PIPE Convertible Notes at the “Alternate Conversion Price”
which is equal to the lesser of (i) the Conversion Price then in effect, and (ii) 90% of the lowest volume weighted average price of
the Class A common stock during the five consecutive trading days immediately prior to such conversion.

5. Other Information
On
February 2, 2024, the Company executed a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with each of the investors
that executed the Prior Loan Agreements, which replaced, in their entirety, the Prior Loan Agreements, and with additional investors
(together, the “PIPE Investors”). Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, the PIPE Investors agreed
to purchase from the TruGolf Holdings (i) senior convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of up to $15,500,000 (the “PIPE
Convertible Notes”), (ii) Series A warrants to initially purchase 1,409,091 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock
(the “Series A Warrants”); and (iii) Series B warrants to initially purchase 1,550,000 shares of the Company’s Class
A common stock (the “Series B Warrants,” and collectively with the Series A Warrants, the “PIPE Warrants”) (the
“PIPE Financing”). For a description of the terms of the PIPE Financing, see Item 2, “Management’s Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Recent Developments – PIPE Offering”.
Subject
to satisfying the conditions discussed below, TruGolf Holdings, Inc. has the right under the Purchase Agreement, but not the obligation,
to require that the PIPE Investors purchase additional Notes at up to two additional closings. Upon notice at any time after the 2nd
trading day following the Initial Closing Date, TruGolf Holdings may require that the PIPE Investors purchase an additional aggregate
principal amount of $4,650,000 of PIPE Convertible Notes, in exchange for aggregate gross proceeds of $4,185,000, if (i) the Registration
Statement (as described below) has been filed; and (ii) certain customary closing conditions are satisfied (the “First Mandatory
Additional Closing”). Upon notice at any time after the 2nd trading day following the date that the First Mandatory Additional
Closing is consummated, TruGolf Holdings may require that the PIPE Investors purchase an additional aggregate principal amount of $6,200,000
of PIPE Convertible Notes, in exchange for aggregate gross proceeds of $5,580,000, if (i) the shareholder approval is obtained (as described
below); (ii) the Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC; and (iii) certain customary closing conditions are satisfied
(the “Second Mandatory Additional Closing”).
In
addition, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, as amended by the Waiver (described below) each PIPE Investor has the right, but not the
obligation, to require that, upon notice, TruGolf Holdings sell to such PIPE Investor at one or more additional closings such PIPE Investor’s
pro rata share of up to a maximum aggregate principal amount of $10,850,000 in additional PIPE Convertible Notes (each such additional
closing, an “Additional Optional Closing”); provided that, the principal amount of the additional PIPE Convertible Notes
issued at each Additional Optional Closing must equal at least $250,000. If a PIPE Investor has not elected to effect an Additional Optional
Closing on or prior to August 30, 2025, such PIPE Investor shall have no further right to effect an Additional Optional Closing under
the Purchase Agreement.
On
August 13, 2024, the Company entered into those certain waiver and amendment agreements (the “Waiver”), pursuant to which the Company
and the PIPE Investors agreed to: (i) waive any breaches or defaults caused by the Company’s failure to timely file its SEC reports
through August 14, 2024; (ii) extend the date by which the Additional Optional Closings may occur until 11 months from the effective
date of the initial Registration Statement; (iii) permit the Company to raise debt financing from its affiliates through non-convertible,
unsecured notes with a maturity date that is later than the maturity date of the PIPE Convertible Notes; (iv) waive certain registration
failures until September 3, 2024 and permit the issuance of common stock to satisfy certain registration failures; and (v) allow the
Company to satisfy the interest payments due April 1, 2024, July 1, 2024 and October 1, 2024 from the issuance of common stock or by
allowing such amounts to be added to the principal amount of the PIPE Convertible Notes, at the option of the PIPE Investors. In addition,
certain PIPE Investors agreed to acquire additional PIPE Convertible Notes without regard to any volume or price requirements in the
instruments. In connection with the Waiver, the Company issued an aggregate of 192,151 shares in satisfaction of certain registration
statement delay payments and issued an aggregate of 157,582 shares in satisfaction of outstanding interest payments. Such payments were
made at the “Alternate Conversion Price” set forth in the PIPE Convertible Notes, which is equal to the lesser of (i) the
Conversion Price, and (ii) 90% of the lowest volume weighted average price of the Class A common stock during the five consecutive trading
days immediately prior to such conversion.
On
November 7, 2024, the Company entered into those certain amendments to the Waivers (the “Amendments”), pursuant to which the Company and
the PIPE Investors agreed to: (i) waive any breaches or defaults caused by the Company’s failure to timely file its SEC reports
through August 21, 2024; and (ii) waive certain registration failures until October 3, 2024. In addition, the PIPE Investors waived any
breaches or defaults that may have occurred or will occur solely as a result of the Company’s failure to comply with the continued
listing requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market due to: (i) the Company’s failure to meet the stockholders’ equity requirement
for continued listing, provided that the foregoing waiver shall expire on January 15, 2025, (ii) the Company’s failure to meet the market value of publicly held shares requirement for continued listing,
provided that the foregoing waiver shall expire on January 15, 2025, and/or (iii) the Company’s failure to
meet the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing; provided that the foregoing waiver shall expire on January 15, 2025; provided
further that to the extent the Company is in compliance with all other Nasdaq Stock Market listing requirements and has filed a preliminary
proxy statement to hold a special meeting to vote on a reverse stock split to remedy the bid price failure, the waiver shall be extended
to March 15, 2025. In connection with the Amendment, the Company issued an aggregate of 116,959 shares in satisfaction of certain registration
statement delay payments and issued an aggregate of 65,790 shares in satisfaction of outstanding interest payments. Such payments were
made at the “Alternate Conversion Price” set forth in the PIPE Convertible Notes, which is equal to the lesser of (i) the
Conversion Price, and (ii) 90% of the lowest volume weighted average price of the Class A common stock during the five consecutive trading
days immediately prior to such conversion.
On
November 7, 2024, certain PIPE Investors agreed to purchase additional PIPE Convertible Notes in aggregate principal amount of $3,300,000
for aggregate proceeds of $2,970,000. In connection with the foregoing, the Company agreed to repay an aggregate of $2,496,686 in outstanding
debt and transaction expenses.
During
the period covered by this Quarterly Report, none of the Company’s directors or executive officers has adopted or terminated a
Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement or a non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement (each as defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended).
