Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2014 and 2012

Note 1 –Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Global Digital Solutions, Inc., formerly know as Creative Beauty Supply, Inc., was incorporated on August 28, 1995 in the State of New Jersey. Unless the context provides otherwise, when we refer to the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us” in this Form 10-Q, we are referring to Global Digital Solutions, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

Our mission was to target the United States government contract marketplace for audio and video services. However, due to significant capital constraints, we wound down the majority of our operations in June of 2005, but continued to operate a small operations team in Northern California. On May 1, 2012, with support from our major shareholders, we made the decision to wind down our operations in the telecommunications area and refocus our efforts in the area of small arms manufacturing, knowledge-based and culturally attuned social consulting and security-related solutions in unsettled areas.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and our wholly owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2013, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “2013 Form 10-K”). The unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to accounts receivable, fair values of financial instruments, useful lives of capitalized software development costs and property and equipment, fair values of stock-based awards, income taxes, and contingent liabilities, among others. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been made.

Presentation and Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have sustained losses and experienced negative cash flows from operations since inception, and at March 31, 2014 had an accumulated deficit of $19,694,304, cash and cash equivalents of $271,776, working capital of $1,055,919 and stockholders’ equity of $1,056,117. We have funded our activities to date almost exclusively from equity and debt financings. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

We will continue to require substantial funds to continue development of our core business. Management’s plans in order to meet our operating cash flow requirements include (i) financing activities such as private placements of common stock, and issuances of debt and convertible debt instruments, (ii) the establishment of strategic relationships which we expect will lead to the generation of additional revenue or acquisition opportunities and (iii) the acquisition of businesses in the areas of small arms manufacturing, knowledge-based and culturally attuned social consulting and security-related solutions in unsettled areas.

While we believe that we will be successful in obtaining the necessary financing to fund our operations, there are no assurances that such additional funding will be achieved or that we will succeed in our future operations. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2014 and 2012

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable.

Stock-Based Compensation

At March 31, 2014, we had one stock-based employee compensation plan. The awards granted are valued at fair value and compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period of each award.

Income Taxes

We adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 740-10, Income Taxes ("ASC 740-10") which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statement or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Temporary differences between taxable income reported for financial reporting purposes and income tax purposes consist primarily of timing differences such as amortization of intangible assets, deferred officers' compensation and stock-based compensation. A valuation allowance is provided against net deferred tax assets where we determine realization is not currently judged to be more likely than not. We recognize and measure uncertain tax positions through a two-step process in accordance with the Income Taxes Topic of the Codification. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount which is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. We consider many factors when evaluating and estimating tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments and which may not accurately anticipate actual outcomes. Accordingly, we report a liability for unrecognized tax benefits resulting from the uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.

Loss Per Common Share and Common Share Equivalent

Basic and diluted loss per common share has been computed by dividing the loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that would then share in the income of the Company, subject to anti-dilution limitations. As of March 31, 2014, the Company had warrants for the purchase of 4,250,000 common shares, options to purchase 5,500,000 common shares and the potential of 353,016 common shares being issued for convertible debt, which have not been included in the calculation of loss per share as the effects would be anti-dilutive in periods in which a net loss in incurred.

Application of New or Revised Accounting Standards

On April 5, 2012, the Jump-Start Our Business Startups Act (JOBS Act) was signed into law. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, reduce certain reporting requirements for an "emerging growth company." As an emerging growth company we have elected to not take advantage of the extended transition period afforded by the JOBS Act for the implementation of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, will comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

From time to time, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standards setting bodies will issue new accounting pronouncements. Updates to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC” or “Codification”) are communicated through issuance of an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”). ”). The Company does not expect any recently issued pronouncement to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

March 31, 2014 and 2012

Note 2 – Financial Instruments

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Our cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 consisted of the following:

	2014		2013
Cash in bank	$	271,776	$	509,224
Cash and cash equivalents	$	271,776	$	509,224

We classify highly liquid temporary investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased as cash equivalents. We maintain cash balances at various financial institutions. Balances at US banks are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. We have not experienced any losses in such accounts and believe it is not exposed to any significant risk for cash on deposit. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had uninsured cash amounts. We maintained this balance with a high quality financial institution, which we believe limits this risk.

Note 3 - Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The following fair value hierarchy is used in selecting inputs, with the highest priority given to Level 1, as these are the most transparent or reliable:

Level 1 - Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable directly or indirectly.

Level 3 - Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable.

We had no Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 assets or liabilities at March 31, 2014 or December 31, 2013.

Note 4 – Acquisition of Airtronic and Notes Receivable from Airtronic

On October 22, 2012, we entered into an Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization (“Merger Agreement”) to acquire 70% of Airtronic USA, Inc. (“Airtronic”), a debtor in possession under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in a case pending in the US Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division (the “Court”) once Airtronic successfully reorganized and emerged from bankruptcy, (the “Merger”).

Contemporaneously, on October 22, 2012, we entered into a Debtor In Possession Note Purchase Agreement (“Bridge Loan”) with Airtronic. We agreed to lend Airtronic up to a maximum of $2,000,000, with an initial advance of $750,000 evidenced by an 8¼% Secured Promissory Note with an original principal amount of $750,000 made by Airtronic in favor of the Company (the “Original Note”) and a Security Agreement securing all of Airtronic’s assets. As of December 31, 2012 we had not advanced any funds to Airtronic under the Bridge Loan and Original Note. The Original Note bears interest at 8¼% per annum, is secured by all of Airtronic’s assets and, unless an event of default shall have previously occurred and be continuing, the full amount of principal and accrued interest under the note shall be due and payable on the consummation of Airtronic’s plan of reorganization. In March 2013, the Company and Airtronic amended the Bridge Loan to provide for a maximum advance of up to $700,000 in accordance with draws submitted by Airtronic and approved by the Company in accordance with the budget set forth in the amendment. On June 26, 2013, we agreed to a second modification of the Bridge Loan agreement with Airtronic, and agreed to loan Airtronic up to an additional $550,000 under the Bridge Loan. On August 5, 2013, we entered into the Second Bridge Loan Modification and Ratification Agreement, a new 8¼% secured promissory note for $550,000 (the “Second Note”), and a Security Agreement with the CEO of Airtronic, securing certain intellectual property for patent-pending applications and trademarks that were registered in her name. On October 10, 2013 we agreed to a third modification of the Bridge Loan Agreement with Airtronic, and agreed to loan Airtronic up to an additional $200,000 under the Bridge Loan. On October 10, 2013, we entered into the Third Bridge Loan Modification and Ratification Agreement, and a new 8¼% secured promissory note for $200,000 (the “Third Note”).

GLOBAL DIGITAL SOLUTIONS, INC.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2014 and 2012

On October 2, 2013, Airtronic’s amended plan of reorganization (the “Plan”) was confirmed by the Court, but the Plan was never substantially consummated and has now been terminated. Under the express terms of the Plan, Airtronic needed to close the Merger with the Company within 60 days following the confirmation date, i . e . on or before December 2, 2013 to obtain the funds necessary to pay its creditors in accordance with the Plan. Nevertheless, Airtronic refused to close the Merger with the Company on or before December 2, 2013, and as a result the Plan terminated and the reorganized Airtronic re-vested in the bankruptcy estate of Airtronic as debtor in possession.

On December 5, 2013, the Company filed a motion with the Court to declare the Original Note, the Second Note and the Third Note to be in default. Supplemental motions were filed with the Court on January 6, 2014 and April 10, 2014. On February 23, 2014, Airtronic filed a modified plan of reorganization (“Modified Plan”) that provides, among other things, for the full repayment of the Original Note, the Second Note and the Third Note together with all accrued interest thereon, subject to confirmation of the Modified Plan. On March 3, 2014, a creditor of Airtronic, Airtronic Acquisition, LLC, filed their proposed plan of reorganization (“The AAC Plan”). The AAC Plan also provides, among other things, for the full repayment of the Original Note, the Second Note and the Third Note together with all accrued interest thereon, subject to confirmation of the AAC Plan .

On March 31, 2014, (i) Airtronic filed a First Amended Modified Plan of Reorganization (“First Modified Plan”), and (ii) AAC withdrew the AAC Plan. On April 28, 2014 the Court confirmed the First Modified Plan, which provides, among other things, for the full repayment of the Original Note, the Second Note and the Third Note together with all accrued interest thereon.

Note 5 – Notes Payable

Convertible Notes

Convertible notes payable at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 consisted of the following:

Throughout 2004, we issued convertible notes payable and received total proceeds of $1,926,637 from unrelated individuals and an institution. In September 2012 $1,422,328 of the notes were converted into shares of our common stock at a conversion rate of $0.50 per share. The other convertible note, totaling $504,309, held by an institution, is non interest bearing, and is convertible at a fixed conversion price equal to our share’s average trading closing share price for the ten days prior to the closing of the conversion. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 the Company imputed interest at 5% which is included in the balance.

Notes Payable

On May 6, 2013, as discussed below, we amended the terms of a $750,000 Note (“Investor Note”) payable to a private investor (“Investor”) and (i) extended the maturity date to July 1, 2013, (ii) provided that the Investor Note may be convertible to shares of our common price at a conversion price of $0.25, and reduced the exercise price of the warrant issued in connection with the Investor Note payable from $0.15 to $0.10. On July 1, 2013, the $750,000 Note payable was converted into 3,000,000 shares of our common stock and on conversion we recognized a gain of $31,712 as a result of the forgiveness of accrued but unpaid interest on the note.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2014 and 2012

In December 2012, we entered into a Promissory Note Purchase Agreement, a Secured Promissory Note (“Note”) and Security Agreement with the Investor to lend us $750,000. The Note bears interest at 8¼%, is secured by all of our assets and is due on May 1, 2013. In connection with the transaction, we issued to the Investor the Warrant.

The $360,000 fair value of the Warrant was calculated using a Black-Scholes pricing model. We calculated that the fair market value of the beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) of the Note is $393,243, and we amortized the BCF over the life of the loan using the effective interest rate method. At December 31, 2013 the discount was fully amortized to interest expense.

On May 6, 2013, the Company and the Investor amended the Promissory Note Purchase Agreement and the related Secured Promissory Note, Security Agreement and Warrant which:

(1)

Extended the Note’s maturity date to July 1, 2013;

(2)

Provided that on or before the maturity date, we may elect to convert the Note into 3,000,000 shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.25; and

(3)

Reduced the exercise price of the Warrant from $0.15 to $0.10.

The note was converted into 3,000,000 shares of common stock on July 1, 2013. – see Convertible Notes Payable above.

Note 6 – Commitments and Contingencies

Effective January 1, 2013, we entered into a three-month consulting agreement with a consulting firm pursuant to which the firm would provide investor relations services. The consulting firm was issued 500,000 shares of restricted shares of common stock valued at $50,000 and the expense was recognized over the three-month service period.

Effective April 3, 2013, we entered into a twelve-month consulting agreement with a consultant pursuant to which the consultant would provide investor relations services. The consultant was issued 500,000 shares of restricted shares of common stock valued at $50,000 and the expense is being recognized over the term of the agreement. In June 2013, we entered into an amendment to the consulting agreement. The consultant agreed to provide additional services over the remaining term of the agreement and, in consideration, we issued the consultant 250,000 shares of our restricted common stock valued at $125,000 and we agreed to issue the consultant a warrant to purchase 500,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.50, with a fair market value of $250,000. The warrant was issued on July 1, 2013.

Office Lease

In August 2013 we entered into a twelve-month lease for a virtual office in West Palm Beach, Florida at a monthly rental of $299 plus taxes. Future minimum lease payments at March 31, 2014 are $1,196.

Note 7 - Stockholders’ Equity and Stock Based Compensation

Preferred Stock

We are authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of noncumulative, non-voting, nonconvertible preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, no shares of preferred stock were outstanding.

1,250,000 shares were exercised on December 18, 2013. We issued the shares in the name of the investor on December 18, 2013 in anticipation of payment. At December 31, 2013 we had not received payment and recorded a stock subscription receivable from the investor. On January 24, 2014 we received the proceeds and released the shares to the investor.

The valuation of warrants is estimated at the grant date based on the fair-value as calculated by the Black-Scholes Merton (“BSM”) pricing model. The BSM pricing model incorporates various assumptions including expected volatility, expected life and interest rates. The Company’s computation of expected life is based on the simplified method as the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected term due to the limited period of time its equity shares have been publicly traded. The interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury Yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The Company’s computation of expected volatility is based on comparable companies’ average historical volatility. The Company does not expect to pay dividends. While the Company believes these estimates are reasonable, the estimated compensation expense would increase if the expected life was increased or a higher expected volatility was used. The Company recognizes warrant expense cost as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.

The following is a summary of outstanding and exercisable warrants at March 31, 2014:

		Outstanding					Exercisable
Range of Exercise Prices		Weighted Average Number Outstanding at 03/31/14	Outstanding Remaining Contractual Life (in yrs.)		Weighted Average Exercise Price		Number Exercisable at 03/31/14	Weighted Average Exercise Price
$	0.10	1,750,000		1.75	$	0.10	1,750,000	$	0.10
$	0.15	1,000,000		4.17	$	0.15	-		-

$	0.37	4,250,000		4.00	$	0.37	2,750,000	$	0.43

The aggregate intrinsic value of warrants outstanding at March 31, 2014 was $1,550,000. Aggregate intrinsic value represents the value of the Company’s closing stock price on the last trading day of the fiscal period in excess of the exercise price of the warrant multiplied by the number of warrants outstanding or exercisable.

Equity Awards

Stock Incentive Plans

2014 Global Digital Solutions Equity Incentive Plan

On February 2, 2014 our board of directors approved the 2014 Global Digital Solutions Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and reserved 20,000,000 shares of our common stock for issuance pursuant to awards under the Plan. The Plan, which requires shareholder approval by December 31, 2014, is intended as an incentive, to retain in the employ of and as directors, our officers, employees, consultants and advisors, and to attract new officers, employees, directors, consultants and advisors whose services are considered valuable, to encourage the sense of proprietorship and to stimulate the active interest of such persons in the development and financial success of the Company and its subsidiaries.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock Options

Stock-based compensation cost for stock options is estimated at the grant date based on the fair-value as calculated BSM option-pricing model utilizing the assumptions discussed above. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation cost as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.

We granted 5,500,000 options during the three-month period ended March 31, 2014 resulting in stock- based compensation expense of $693,332 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The options are exercisable at $0.64 and expire in March 2024. As of March 31, 2014, there was $2,826,672 of total unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to these stock options that will be recognized over a period of six months.

The significant weighted average assumptions relating to the valuation of the Company’s options for the period ended March 31, 2014 were as follows:

Dividend yield	0.00%
Expected life (years)	5.25
Expected volatility	718.70%
Risk free interest rate	1.80%

Compensation and benefits increased by $1,763,760, or 577.3% % to $2,069,298 in 2014 compared to $305,538 in 2013. In the three-month period ended March 31, 2014 compensation and benefits comprised $1,967,298 of non-cash stock-based compensation to our CEO, CFO, vice presidents and advisors, and $51,000 of cash compensation to our CEO, CFO and a vice president. In the three-month period ended March 31, 2013 compensation and benefits comprised $221,538 of non-cash stock-based compensation to our CEO and CFO and $84,000 of cash compensation to our CEO, CFO and vice presidents.

Debt issuance costs decreased by $(154,286), or 67.3% from $229,286 in 2013 to $75,000 in 2014. In connection with the issuance of notes payable and convertible notes payable in prior years, we paid fees to two consultants that facilitated the loan, issued a warrant to a consultant and restricted stock to an affiliate of our CEO for guaranteeing the loan. In three-month period ended March 31, 2014 we expensed $75,000 for amortization of the warrant. In three-month period ended March 31, 2013, $75,000 was for loan fees paid and and $154,286 for amortization of the restricted stock. The fair value of the warrant was determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model and the expense of the warrant is being amortized over its vesting period and the expense of the restricted stock was amortized over the life of the debt.

Investment banking fees increased by $412,500, or 100%. In the three-month period ended March 31, 2014, the expense includes (i) $400,000 of amortization of the fair market value of a warrant issued to an investment bank for services to be rendered, (ii) and fees of $12,500 paid in cash. We had no such expense in the three-month period ended March 31, 2013.

Investor relations and marketing expense increased by $32,373 or 46.8% to $101,497 in 2014 compared to $9,124 in 2013, and were primarily for services rendered and paid in shares of our common stock or compensation through the issuance of a warrant which is being amortized over the term of the consulting agreement.

Office supply and support expenses increased by $16,255, or 237.7% to $23,093 in 2014 compared to $6,838 in 2013. In the three-month period ended March 31, 2014, the expense included $13,608 of directors and officers liability insurance and key man life insurance of $7,249. In the three-month period ended March 31, 2013, the expense included $6,250 of web development fees.

Professional and filing fees increased $108,484, or 176.5% to $169,931 in 2014 compared to $61,447 in 2013. In the three-month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, such fees consisted of:

	$	169,931	$	61,447

Interest income was $29,002 in 2014 compared to $1,905 in 2013 and is the interest on the bridge loans we made to Airtronic.

Interest expense was $6,250 in 2014 and $45,896 incurred on notes payable.

There is no income tax benefit for the losses for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 since we determined that the realization of the net deferred tax asset is not more likely than not to be realized and we created a valuation allowance for the entire amount of such benefit.

Loss from discontinued operations in the three-month period ended March 31, 2013 was $245,744 and represented the loss on disposal of assets of discontinued operations.

Our results of operations for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 did not contain any unusual gains or losses from transactions not in our ordinary course of business.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2014, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $271,776 and working capital of $1,055,919. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2014, we incurred a net loss of $2,835,929, and at March 31, 2014, we had an accumulated deficit of $19,694,304 and total stockholders’ equity of $1,056,117. We expect to incur losses for the remainder of fiscal 2014. There is no guarantee that we will ultimately be able to generate sufficient revenue or reduce our costs in the anticipated time frame to achieve and maintain profitability and have sustainable cash flows.

We do not have any material commitments for capital expenditures during the next twelve months. Any required expenditure will be completed through internally generated funding or from proceeds from the sale of common or preferred stock, or borrowings.

Cash Flows

Cash used in operating activities

Net cash used in operating activities totaled $362,448 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2014 compared to $112,797 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013.

In the three-month period ended March 31, 2014, cash was used to fund a net loss of $2,835,929 and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $53,313, reduced by non-cash stock-based compensation of $2,018,298, common stock and warrants issued for services of $537,498 and accrued interest receivable of $29,002.

In the three-month period ended March 31, 2013, cash was used to fund a net loss of $968,935, reduced by non-cash stock-based compensation of $221,538, common stock and warrants issued for services of $99,700, amortization of debt discount of $184,286, accrued interest receivable of $1,905, and changes in operating assets and liabilities totaling $106,774 and cash provided by discontinued operations of $245,745.

Cash from financing activities

Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $125,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2014 compared to $374,900 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013. In the three-month period ended March 31, 2014, we received proceeds from the exercise of warrants of $125,000. In the three-month period ended March 31, 2013, we received proceeds of $374,900 from short-term debt, reduced by repayments of short-term debt.

Financial condition

As of March 31, 2014, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $271,776, working capital of $1,055,919 and stockholders equity of $1,056,117. We do not have a line of credit facility and have relied on short-term borrowings and the sale of common stock to provide cash to finance our operations. We believe that we will need to raise additional capital in 2014 to sustain our operations. We plan to seek additional equity and debt financing to provide funding for operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Since our inception, except for standard operating leases, we have not engaged in any off-balance sheet arrangements, including the use of structured finance, special purpose entities or variable interest entities.

Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Accounting Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1937, as amended, which we refer to as the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings.

From time to time, we may become involved in litigation relating to our business as either Plaintiff or Defendant.

The Company is plaintiff in two actions:

●

On November 21, 2013, the Company filed a complaint against Airtronic USA, Inc. (“Airtronic”) in connection with Airtronic’s pending Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding. Airtronic’s bankruptcy proceeding is pending in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois as case number 12-09776. The adversary proceeding is captioned Global Digital Solutions, Inc. v. Airtronic USA, Inc. and is adversary proceeding number 13-01330. The Company’s complaint arises out of Airtronic’s refusal to complete a merger transaction with the Company as contemplated under the terms of Airtronic’s Amended Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) and a certain Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization dated as of December 12, 2012, as amended by the First Amendment to Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated as of August 5, 2013 (collectively, the “Merger Agreement”). The Plan and Merger Agreement called for the consummation of a transaction on or before December 2, 2013, by and among the Company; Airtronic Acquisition Corp., a to-be-formed subsidiary of the Company; and Airtronic, pursuant to which, among other things: (a) Airtronic Acquisition Corp. was to be merged with and into Airtronic, with Airtronic being the surviving corporation; (b) the Company was to make capital available to Airtronic of up to $2,000,000.00 (subject to adjustments for certain advances provided to or for the benefit of Airtronic and/or its creditors prior to the confirmation of the Plan or otherwise); and (c) seventy percent (70%) of the issued and outstanding common stock of Airtronic was to be issued to the Company. In its adversary complaint, the Company alleges Airtronic wrongfully refused to complete the contemplated merger transaction. The Company sought an order requiring Airtronic to complete the merger transaction and an award of reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by it in connection with the adversary proceeding. On April 28, 2014 the Court approved Airtronic’s Modified Plan of Reorganization which provides among other things that the Company will dismiss the adversary proceeding with prejudice upon the satisfaction and repayment of the Company’s loans to Airtronic.

●

On January 9, 2014, the Company filed a lawsuit against Merriellyn Kett Murphy (“Kett”) asserting three causes of action against her: Tortious Interference with Contract and/or with Prospective Economic Advantage; Fraudulent Inducement; and Negligent Misrepresentation. Kett is the CEO, President and sole director and stockholder of Airtronic. The Company had entered into a merger agreement with Airtronic and Kett had made numerous representations to the Company that she would close the merger if the Company met her personal demands, which the Company did. Nonetheless, Kett refused to close the merger. The case, captioned Global Digital Solutions, Inc. v. Merriellyn Kett Murphy, was filed in Palm Beach County Circuit Court and Kett later removed it to Federal Court in the Southern District of Florida. The case number is 14-cv-80190-DTKH and is in its early stages. The Company is seeking a judgment against Kett, damages, costs and such other relief as may be awarded by the court. Kett filed a Motion to Dismiss or Transfer Venue and is seeking a court stay pending the motion. The Company opposes Kett’s motions and is vigorously pursuing all claims against Kett.

To the best of our knowledge, no governmental authority is contemplating any proceeding to which we are a party or to which any of our properties is subject, which would reasonably be likely to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.
