DUESENBERG TECHNOLOGIES INC.
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
APRIL 30, 2022
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Nature of Operations
Duesenberg Technologies Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on August 4, 2010, under the laws of the State of Nevada under the name “SOS Link Corporation”. On April 15, 2011, the Company changed its place of incorporation from the State of Nevada to the Province of British Columbia, Canada and concurrently changed its name to Venza Gold Corp. On January 6, 2014, the Company changed its name to CoreComm Solutions Inc., on February 11, 2015, to VGrab Communications Inc., and on December 23, 2020, the name was changed to Duesenberg Technologies Inc.
The Company’s common shares trade on the OTC Markets inter-dealer quotation system under the ticker symbol DUSYF.
On November 1, 2019, the Company incorporated Duesenberg Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Duesenberg Nevada”), with a purpose to undertake the development of Electric Vehicles (“EV”) using the Duesenberg brand and its VGrab Technology and applications based on the VGrab technology. On May 21, 2021, the Company incorporated Duesenberg Heritage LLC, a Nevada corporation (“Duesenberg Heritage”), with a purpose to reproduce very limited Duesenberg Heritage vehicles, Duesenberg Model J and Boat Tail series, which were originally manufactured in the 1920s and 1930s.
As of the date of these condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has the following wholly owned subsidiaries:
Name | Incorporation | Incorporation Date |
Duesenberg Malaysia Sdn Bhd. (formerly VGrab Communications Malaysia Sdn Bhd) | Malaysia Companies Act 2016 | May 17, 2018 |
Duesenberg Technologies Evolution Ltd (formerly VGrab Asia Limited) | Companies Ordinance, Chapter 622 of the Laws of Hong Kong | February 18, 2019 |
Duesenberg Inc. | Nevada, USA | November 1, 2019 |
Duesenberg Heritage LLC | Nevada, USA | May 21, 2021 |
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented in United States dollars and have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). They do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Except as disclosed herein, there have been no material changes in the information disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2021, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on February 15, 2022. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company should be read in conjunction with those financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2021, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, have been made. Operating results for the three- and six-month periods ended April 30, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending October 31, 2022.
Going Concern
The Company’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with GAAP which contemplate the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. To date the Company has generated a total of $78,564 in revenue from its operating activities and has accumulated losses of $10,193,308 since inception. Continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and pay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due and ultimately upon its ability to achieve profitable operations. To date the Company has funded its operations through the issuance of capital stock
F-5
and debt. Management plans to continue raising additional funds through equity and/or debt financing. The outcome of these efforts cannot be predicted with any certainty and raises substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Uncertainty due to Global Outbreak of Covid-19
In March of 2020, the World Health Organization declared an outbreak of COVID-19 Global pandemic. The COVID-19 has impacted vast array of businesses through the restrictions put in place by most governments internationally, including the federal, provincial, and municipal governments, regarding travel, business operations and isolation/quarantine orders. At this time, the extent of the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the Company and its operations is unknown and will greatly depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and that cannot be predicted with confidence. These uncertainties arise from the inability to predict the ultimate geographic spread of the disease, and the duration of the outbreak, including the duration of travel restrictions, business closures or disruptions, and quarantine/isolation measures that are currently, or may be put, in place world-wide to fight the virus. While the extent of the impact is unknown, the COVID-19 outbreak may hinder the Company’s ability to raise financing for its research and development initiatives or operating costs due to uncertain capital markets, supply chain disruptions, increased government regulations and other unanticipated factors, all of which may also negatively impact the Company’s business and financial condition.

Uncertainty due to Global Outbreak of COVID-19
In March of 2020, the World Health Organization declared an outbreak of COVID-19 Global pandemic. The COVID-19 has impacted vast array of businesses through the restrictions put in place by most governments internationally, including the federal, provincial, and municipal governments, regarding travel, business operations and isolation/quarantine orders. At this time, the extent of the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the Company and its operations is unknown and will greatly depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and that cannot be predicted with confidence. These uncertainties arise from the inability to predict the ultimate geographic
1
spread of the disease, and the duration of the outbreak, including the duration of travel restrictions, business closures or disruptions, and quarantine/isolation measures that are currently, or may be put, in place world-wide to fight the virus. While the extent of the impact is unknown, the COVID-19 outbreak may hinder the Company’s ability to raise financing for its research and development initiatives or operating costs due to uncertain capital markets, supply chain disruptions, increased government regulations and other unanticipated factors, all of which may also negatively impact the Company’s business and financial condition.
General
You should read this discussion and analysis in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The inclusion of supplementary analytical and related information may require us to make estimates and assumptions to enable us to fairly present, in all material respects, our analysis of trends and expectations with respect to our results of operations and the financial position taken as a whole. Actual results may vary from the estimates and assumptions we make.
We were incorporated on August 4, 2010, under the laws of the State of Nevada under the name “SOS Link Corporation”. On April 15, 2011, we changed our place of incorporation from the State of Nevada to the Province of British Columbia, Canada and concurrently changed our name to Venza Gold Corp. On January 6, 2014, we changed our name to CoreComm Solutions Inc., on February 11, 2015, we changed our name to VGrab Communications Inc., and on December 23, 2020, we changed our name to Duesenberg Technologies Inc.
As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q we have the following subsidiaries:
Name | Incorporation | Incorporation Date |
Duesenberg Malaysia Sdn Bhd. (formerly VGrab Communications Malaysia Sdn Bhd) | Malaysia Companies Act 2016 | May 17, 2018 |
Duesenberg Technologies Evolution Ltd (formerly VGrab Asia Limited) | Companies Ordinance, Chapter 622 of the Laws of Hong Kong | February 18, 2019 |
Duesenberg Inc. | Nevada, USA | November 1, 2019 |
Duesenberg Heritage LLC | Nevada, USA | May 21, 2021 |
On June 24, 2015, we formed a subsidiary, VGrab International Ltd., (“VGrab International”) under the Labuan Companies Act 1990 in Federal Territory of Labuan, Malaysia. The initial focus of the VGrab International was to continue development of the VGrab Application, which we acquired in our fiscal 2016 year and continue its market penetration in Southeast Asia. The VGrab Application is a free mobile voucher application developed for smartphones using the Android and Apple iOS operating systems and allows users to redeem vouchers on their smartphones at a number of retailers and merchants. On November 25, 2021, we submitted an application to wind down VGrab International which the process was completed on February 28, 2022. At the time of wind-down, Vgrab International had no assets or liabilities.
On May 17, 2018, we incorporated Duesenberg Malaysia Sdn Bhd. under the Malaysia Companies Act 2016 in Malaysia (“Duesenberg Malaysia). The main business objective of Duesenberg Malaysia is to facilitate online promotions, advertising and e-commerce.
Since its incorporation, Duesenberg Malaysia has been working on the development of its SMART System prototype. Duesenberg’s new SMART System will consist of several modules, including Duesenberg Membership system (formerly referred to as “VGrab Membership”), which will allow its users to sign up via internet or quick response code, also known as “QR Code”, Duesenberg Cloud Management System (“DCMS”), and Duesenberg Database Management System (“DDMS”). DCMS and DDMS will form the backbone of Duesenberg’s SMART System, integrating each future developed Duesenberg SMART System’s module into the platform. The Company is currently testing the development of the Duesenberg SMART System before deployment to potential clients.
On February 18, 2019, we formed another subsidiary, Duesenberg Technologies Evolution Ltd (“Duesenberg Evolution”). The main business objective of Duesenberg Evolution is to facilitate online promotions, advertising and e-commerce to its potential customer based in P.R. China. In addition, Duesenberg Evolution is going to position itself as commodities trader to capture the current market trends in P.R. China.

On March 5, 2019, Duesenberg Evolution entered into a mobile application development agreement with a group of private software developers from China (the “Vendor”) to develop a mobile software application (“Duesenberg WeChat Application”, formerly referred to as “Vgrab WeChat Application”). Duesenberg WeChat Application is developed for use with smartphones in P.R. China using the WeChat Android and Apple iOS operating systems allowing users to sign up for memberships, deposit money, purchase products, redeem vouchers, upload media promotions onto the smartphones, etc. On August 14, 2019, the Duesenberg WeChat Application was tested and completed for client use.
In March of 2020 we completed development of the prototype Duesenberg vending machine (the “Vending Machine”) and were attempting to organize the first test run before starting a large-scale production and commercialization of the Vending Machines. Prior to COVID-19 measures, we were expecting to have the first prototype of the Vending Machine installed and operational at a local university by the end of April with further units to be placed across the university’s campus and other universities across Malaysia. However, due to COVID-19 measures, we were required to postpone the roll-out until the restrictions set to prevent the spread of virus are lifted and businesses are allowed to resume their normal operations.
The newly developed Vending Machine is customizable to sell variety of consumer products ranging from traditional snacks, soft drinks, and coffee, to prepaid mobile cards and other goods, while simultaneously displaying advertisements and other various promotional content. Each Vending Machine is based on the operating system developed by us, and is supplied with a credit card reader and a QR Code reader, which facilitate not only payments with credit cards, but also enables payments via eWallet and other membership-based payments.
On November 1, 2019, we incorporated Duesenberg Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Duesenberg Nevada”). The purpose of Duesenberg Nevada is to undertake the development of Electric Vehicle (“Duesenberg EV”) using the Duesenberg brand. We were given the rights to use the Duesenberg trademark name in 2018. We are planning to develop the Duesenberg EV in partnerships with leading developers and suppliers for various components into the vehicle, and also include our in-house developed Duesenberg SMART System as part of its operating system.
On January 8, 2021, Duesenberg Nevada signed an agreement with Rocket Supreme, the Barcelona, Spain automotive design house established by Christopher Reitz. The agreement is the first step towards creating a network of suppliers required to successfully complete the Duesenberg EV development project. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have received initial ergonomics exterior and interior data sheets and CAS IGES files as well as the initial drafts of the exterior and interior designs for the Duesenberg EV. We expect the final design of the first Duesenberg EV to be released in mid to late 2022. Based on the initial drafts, we commenced negotiations with various manufacturers required to continue the development and manufacturing of the required components for the Duesenberg’s EV.
On May 21, 2021, we formed Duesenberg Heritage LLC under the laws of the State of Nevada (“Duesenberg Heritage”). Duesenberg Heritage’s operations will be focused on reproducing very limited Duesenberg heritage vehicles which were originally manufactured in the 1920s and 1930s; such as the Duesenberg Model J and Boat Tail series. The Company expects that the manufacture of the heritage vehicles from that era (as well as possibly converting them to electrical models) will be time consuming and would require highly specialized and skilled tradesman.
In order to support the development and future production of Duesenberg EV as well as Duesenberg Heritage vehicles, we will require significant financing. During the year ended October 31, 2021, we closed two private placement financings for gross proceeds of $673,000, on February 24, 2022, we closed a private placement financing for an additional $502,393. The funds we have raised in the above financings are not sufficient to bring our Duesenberg EV and Duesenberg Heritage vehicle production plans to completion, and we will require additional funding. We cannot assure the reader that we will be successful in securing the further funding as required.

Our general and administrative expenses decreased by $41,652, or 47% from $87,990 we incurred during the period ended April 30, 2021, to $46,338 we incurred for the six-month period ended April 30, 2022; general and administrative expenses included corporate communication fees of $18,522 (2021 - $60,244) and administrative fees of $23,687 (2021 - $23,570). Our corporate communication fees decreased as a result of shortage of funding and with our decision to concentrate the funds that we had available on research and development as opposed to increasing the shareholder awareness of our Company.
Other Items
During the three months ended April 30, 2022, we recorded $1,418 (2021 - $3,054) in interest expense and $12,978 in realized foreign exchange gain (2021 - $673) associated with the fluctuation in foreign exchange rates between the US, Canadian, Malaysian, and Hong Kong currencies.
During the six months ended April 30, 2022, we recorded $2,866 (2021 - $2,438) in interest expense accrued on the third-party notes payable. During the six months ended April 30, 2021, we recorded an additional $5,164 in interest expense associated with the liabilities under the notes payable we issued to our major shareholder, which were converted to shares during the year ended October 31, 2021. We also recorded $10,836 in realized foreign exchange gain (2021 - $669) associated with the fluctuation in foreign exchange rates between the US, Canadian, Malaysian, and Hong Kong currencies.
Translation to Reporting Currency
Changes in translation to reporting currency result from differences between our functional currencies, being the Canadian dollar for the parent Company, Malaysian Ringgit for Duesenberg Malaysia, and Hong Kong Dollar for Duesenberg Evolution, and our reporting currency, being the United States dollar. These differences are caused by fluctuation in foreign exchange rates between the four currencies as well as different accounting treatments between various financial instruments.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
GOING CONCERN
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that we will continue to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities in the normal course of business. We started generating operating revenue in the third quarter of our fiscal 2020, however, this revenue is not sufficient to support our operating expenses, and/or to enable us to pay dividends, therefore, it is unlikely that we will be in position to generate significant earnings or to pay dividends to our shareholders in the immediate or foreseeable future. Our continuation as a going concern depends upon the continued financial support of our shareholders, our ability to obtain necessary debt or equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations.
Based on our current plans, we expect to incur operating losses in future periods. At April 30, 2022, we had a working capital deficit of $1,028,689 and accumulated losses of $10,193,308 since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We cannot assure you that we will be able to generate significant revenues in the future. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments that would be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. Therefore, we may be required to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in our financial statements.

During the six-month period ended April 30, 2022, our working capital deficit increased by $64,798, from $963,891 as at October 31, 2021, to $1,028,689 as at April 30, 2022. The increase in the working capital deficit was primarily related to an increase in our current liabilities of $96,775. This change was associated with a $82,155 increase in amounts payable to our related parties, mainly on account of amounts due for the salaries payable to our management. Our accounts payable increased by $43,742 and were associated with day-to-day operations of the Company. These increases were in part offset by decreased accrued liabilities of $15,808, as compared to $45,318 as at October 31, 2021, the decrease resulted mainly from reallocation of the accrued liabilities to vendor payables on receipt of actual bills. Our current assets increased by $31,977 from $39,069 at October 31, 2021 to $71,046 at April 30, 2022. The increase was mainly associated with increased cash balances as a result of a private placement financing we closed on February 24, 2022, and with increased amounts receivable, which at April 30, 2022 totaled $37,744, as compared to $26,601 we recorded as receivable at October 31, 2021.

Net cash used in operating activities
During the six-month period ended April 30, 2022, we used $487,414 to support our operating activities. This cash was used to cover our cash operating expenses of $696,580, to increase our receivables and prepaid expenses by $12,433 and $7,315, respectively, and to reduce amounts due to our related parties by $10,651. These uses of cash were offset by increases in our accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $16,513, and an increase to accrued salaries and management fees payable to our management team of $223,052.
During the six-month period ended April 30, 2021, we used $525,499 to support our operating activities. This cash was used to cover our cash operating expenses of $1,031,371, to increase our receivables by $10,298, and to increase our prepaids by $129,812. These uses of cash were offset by increases in our accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $490,795, an increase to accrued salaries payable to our management team of $81,899, and an increase to amounts due to our related parties for all other expenses of $73,287.
Non-cash operating activities
During the six-month period ended April 30, 2022, we recorded $2,866 in interest to third-party lenders under notes payable, $665 in amortization of our office equipment, and $12,725 in foreign exchange fluctuation between the US, Canadian, Malaysian, and Hong Kong currencies. In addition, we recognized $48,000 on grant of 240,000 Shares to Mr. Chee Wai Hong and to Mr. Barth (120,000 each), which were recorded as part of management fees.
During the six-month period ended April 30, 2021, we recorded $5,164 in interest on our notes payable to Hampshire Avenue and $2,438 in interest to third-party lenders under notes payable. In addition, we recorded $304 in amortization of our office equipment, and $27,230 in foreign exchange fluctuation between the US, Canadian, Malaysian, and Hong Kong currencies.
Net cash provided by investing activities
During the six-month period ended April 30, 2021, we used $2,760 to acquire computers and other office equipment. We did not have any investing activities during the six months ended April 30, 2022.
Net cash provided by financing activities
During the six-month period ended April 30, 2022, we closed a private placement financing by issuing 2,511,962 Shares at $0.20 per Share for gross proceeds of $502,393. During the same period, Mr. Lim advanced to us $20,550 in the form of vendor payments made by him on our behalf. Mr Lim agreed to convert the full amount we owed to
8
him on account of these vendor payments to shares of our common stock at $0.20 per share, which were issued on February 24, 2022.
During the six-month period ended April 30, 2021, we received $95,153 under loan agreements with Hampshire Avenue. The loans bear interest at 4% per annum, are unsecured and payable on demand. In addition, we borrowed $29,000 from third-party-lenders under 4% demand notes payable. During the six-month period ended April 30, 2021, we received $673,000 in proceeds from two separate private placement financings by issuing a total of 833,333 shares of our common stock.
Capital Resources
Our ability to continue the development and marketing of the Duesenberg Applications, SMART Systems, Duesenberg WeChat Application, as well as commencement of the development of Duesenberg EV and Duesenberg Heritage vehicles, is subject to our ability to obtain necessary funding. We expect to raise funds through sales of our debt or equity securities. We have no committed sources of capital. If we are unable to raise funds as and when we need them, we may be required to curtail, or even to cease, our operations.
As of April 30, 2022, we had cash on hand of $21,371 and working capital deficit of $1,028,689, which raises substantial doubt about our continuation as a going concern. We plan to mitigate our losses in future years by controlling our operating expenses and actively seeking new distribution channels for our Duesenberg products, Duesenberg EV, and Duesenberg Heritage Vehicles. We cannot provide assurance that we will be successful in generating additional capital to support our development. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements and no non-consolidated, special-purpose entities.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the United States generally accepted accounting principles requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our management routinely makes judgments and estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain.
Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2021. The following accounting policies have been determined by our management to be the most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operation:
Principles of Consolidation
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. On consolidation, the Company eliminates all intercompany balances and transactions.
Foreign Currency Translation and Transaction
The Parent Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar, Duesenberg Malaysia’s functional currency is Malaysian Ringgit, and Duesenberg Evolution’s functional currency is Hong Kong dollar. Duesenberg Nevada and Duesenberg Heritage functional currency is the United States dollar. The Company’s reporting currency is the United States dollar. The Company translates assets and liabilities to US dollars using year-end exchange rates, and translates revenues and expenses using average exchange rates during the period. Gains and losses arising on translation to the reporting currency are included in the other comprehensive income.
Foreign exchange gains and losses on the settlement of foreign currency transactions are included in foreign exchange expense. Except for translations of intercompany balances, all translations of monetary balances to the functional currency at the yearend exchange rates are included in foreign exchange expense. The translations of intercompany balances to the functional currency at the yearend exchange rates are included in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss.
9
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Our financial instruments include cash, amounts receivable, accounts payable and accruals as well as notes payable and amounts due to related parties. We believe the fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying values due to their short-term nature.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, and amounts receivable.
At April 30, 2022, we had $807 in cash on deposit with a large chartered Canadian bank, $20,438 in cash on deposit with a bank in Malaysia, and $126 in cash on deposit with a bank in Hong Kong. As part of our cash management process, we perform periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of these financial institutions. We have not experienced any losses in cash balances and do not believe we are exposed to any significant credit risk on our cash.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
Not Applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. The evaluation was undertaken in consultation with our accounting personnel. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, due to our current size and lack of segregation of duties, our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended April 30, 2022, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
