Company
Overview
Corporate
History
TruGolf
Nevada, was formed as a Utah corporation on October 4, 1995, under the name TruGolf Incorporated, and was a subsidiary of Access Software.
On June 9, 1999, TruGolf Nevada changed its name to TruGolf, Inc. Upon the acquisition of Access Software by Microsoft Corp. in August
1999, the core programming and graphics team of the LinksTM video game series were spun out to TruGolf Nevada.
21
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 and, in connection with the Plan
of Merger, TruGolf Nevada affected a four-for-one forward stock split of its outstanding common stock.
TruGolf
Holdings, Inc. (f/k/a Deep Medicine Acquisition Corp.) (“TruGolf”, and together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”),
was incorporated on July 8, 2020, as a Delaware corporation and formed for the purpose of effecting a business combination, with no material
operation of its own.
On
March 31, 2023, we entered into an Agreement and Plan Of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with TruGolf Nevada, DMAQ Merger
Sub Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a Nevada corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary, Bright Vision Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company, in the capacity as representative for our stockholders at the time of the Merger Agreement, Christopher Jones, an
individual, in the capacity as TruGolf Nevada’s representative, and TruGolf Nevada (together, the “Merger Parties”).
On July 21, 2023, the Merger Parties entered into an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Restated Merger Agreement”),
pursuant to which the Merger Agreement was amended and restated to provide, among other things, that (i) contingent earnout shares will
be issued after the Closing, if and when earned, upon the Company meeting the milestones specified in the Restated Merger Agreement,
rather than being issued at the closing of the merger and being placed into escrow subject to potential forfeiture; and (ii) the share
price of the Company’s common stock used in the calculation of the number of shares to be issued to the Sellers as merger consideration
shall be $10.00, as opposed to the price at which the Company redeems the shares of common stock held by its public stockholders in connection
with the closing of this business combination.
On
January 31, 2024, we consummated the business combination (the “Closing”). As a result of the Closing and the transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (i) Merger Sub merged with and into TruGolf Nevada, with TruGolf Nevada surviving the Merger as
a wholly-owned subsidiary of TruGolf, and (ii) TruGolf’s name was changed from Deep Medicine Acquisition Corp. to TruGolf Holdings,
Inc. TruGolf’s Class A common stock commenced trading on the Nasdaq Global Market LLC under the ticker “TRUG” on February
1, 2024.
Business
Overview
Since
1983, the Company 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).
22
TruGolf
creates top golf technology software in the marketplace through its TruGolf E6 Connect and E6 Apex Software. Importantly, TruGolf’s
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’s software records, on average, over 725,000 indoor golf shots
per day. TruGolf’s 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 software users who 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.
●
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 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 unify the industry as a whole by serving as the leader of golf technology software
solutions through its TruGolf’s software.
Reverse
Stock Split
On
June 23, 2025, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Amended and restated Certificate of Incorporation
with the Secretary of the State of Delaware to effect a 1-for-50 reverse stock split of the Class A and Class B shares of the Company’s
issued and outstanding common stock, effective as of 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on June 23, 2025 (the “Reverse Stock Split”)
and began trading on a Reverse Stock Split-adjusted basis on Nasdaq on June 23, 2025. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, the number
of Class A common shares outstanding was reduced from 40,532,150 to 810,617 and the number of Class B common shares outstanding was reduced
from 10,000,000 to 200,000, and the number of authorized shares of common stock remained unchanged. All share amounts have been retroactively
adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split.
Revenue
The
Company derives our revenue through the sales of our golf simulators, perpetual software licenses, content software subscriptions, and
franchising.

Revenues
Revenues
decreased by $1,315,921, or 9%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
The decrease is primarily attributable to the change in how the Company sold its content subscription licenses during the nine months
ended September 30, 2025 as compared to prior years leading to an increase in deferred revenues.
Cost
of Revenues
Cost
of revenues increased by $200,458, or 4%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the nine months ended September
30, 2024. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in simulator costs of $338,627 and a decrease in other costs of $163,184.
Operating
Expenses
Total
operating expenses increased by $1,844,917, or 17%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 2024. This was primarily due to (i) an increase of professional fees of $1,011,516, or 55%, due to an increase in fees
related to the PIPE Exchange Agreements and other SEC filing requirements, and (ii) an increase in other selling, general and administrative
expenses of $1,932,682, or 105%, due primarily to an increase in amortization expense related to capitalized software of $472,965, which
is offset by a decrease in salaries, wages and benefits of $1,136,910, due primarily to an increase in salaries being capitalized for
time spent on developing new versions of the Company’s platform software.
Other
Income (Expenses)
Other
income (expenses) increased by $6,977,370, or 336%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 2024. The increase is primarily attributable to a loss on extinguishment of debt of $6,135,160 that resulted from the PIPE
Exchange Agreements and an increase in interest expense, amortization expense of the PIPE Convertible Notes debt discount, the write-off
of remaining debt discounts upon the conversion of related to the PIPE Convertible Notes, and the make-good interest expense upon the
conversion of related PIPE Convertible Notes.

decreased by $2,130,830, or 34%, for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024.

ended September 30, 2025 as compared to prior years leading to an increase in deferred revenues.
Cost
of Revenues
Cost
of revenues decreased by $665,465, or 35%, for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the three months ended September
30, 2024. The decrease is primarily attributable to the decrease in revenue. The gross profit margin remained consistent for the three
months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Operating
Expenses
Total
operating expenses increased by $520,410, or 15%, for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the three months ended
September 30, 2024. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $1,761,630, or 111%, due primarily to an increase in professional
fees of $410,260, an increase in contract labor of $269,653, and an increase in amortization expense related to capitalized software
of $153,960. This was offset by a decrease in salaries, wages and benefits of $1,131,054, or 67%, due primarily to an increase in salaries
being capitalized for time spent on developing new versions of the Company’s platform software.
Other
Income (Expenses)
Other
income (expenses) increased by $5,232,069, or 561%, for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the three months ended
September 30, 2024. The increase is primarily attributable to a loss on extinguishment of debt of $6,135,160 that resulted from the PIPE
Exchange Agreements and is offset by a decrease in interest expense, amortization expense of the PIPE Convertible Notes debt discount,
the write-off of remaining debt discounts upon the conversion of related to the PIPE Convertible Notes, and the make-good interest expense
upon the conversion of related PIPE Convertible Notes due to the PIPE Convertible Notes being exchanged for Series A Preferred Convertible
Stock and Series A Preferred Warrants as part of the PIPE Exchange Agreements.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As
of September 30, 2025, we had cash on hand of $13,535,121 and a working capital surplus of $4,159,517, as compared to cash on hand of
$10,882,077 and a working capital deficiency of $982,237 as of December 31, 2024. The increase in working capital surplus is primarily
attributable to an increase in cash on hand of $2,653,044, an increase of accounts receivable, net of $847,603, an increase in prepaid
expenses and other current assets of $584,504 and a decrease in dividend notes payable of $3,905,561 which was offset primarily by an
increase in deferred revenue of $3,073,610.
The
Company’s operating activities consume the majority of its cash resources. The Company anticipates that it will continue to incur
operating losses as it executed its development plans for 2025, as well as other potential strategic and business development initiatives.
In addition, the Company has had and expects to have negative cash flows from operations, at least into the near future. The Company
has previously funded, and plans to continue funding, these losses with the sale of equity and convertible notes. The accompanying unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue
as a going concern.
