STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

In this annual report, references to “GBT”, “GOPH”, “GTCH” or “the Company,” or “we,” or “us,” and “our” refer to GBT Technologies Inc. or f/k/a Gopher Protocol Inc. Except for the historical information contained herein, some of the statements in this report contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These statements are found in the sections entitled “Business,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.” They include statements concerning: our business strategy; expectations of market and customer response; liquidity and capital expenditures; future sources of revenues; expansion of our proposed product line; and trends in industry activity generally. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “could,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “goal,” or “continue” or similar terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including, but not limited to, the risks outlined under “Risk Factors,” that may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. For example, assumptions that could cause actual results to vary materially from future results include, but are not limited to our ability to successfully develop and market our products to customers; our ability to generate customer demand for our products in our target markets; the development of our target markets and market opportunities; our ability to manufacture suitable products at a competitive cost; market pricing for our products and for competing products; the extent of increasing competition; technological developments in our target markets and the development of alternate, competing technologies in them; and sales of shares by existing shareholders. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Unless we are required to do so under U.S. federal securities laws or other applicable laws, we do not intend to update or revise any forward-looking statements.

 

Below is a summary of material factors that make an investment in our securities speculative or risky. Importantly, this summary does not address all of the risks and uncertainties that we face. Additional discussion of the risks and uncertainties summarized in this risk factor summary, as well as other risks and uncertainties that we face, can be found under ‘Risk Factors’ in Part I, Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The below summary is qualified in its entirety by that more complete discussion of such risks and uncertainties. You should consider carefully the risks and uncertainties described under ‘Risk Factors’ in Part I, Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K as part of your evaluation of an investment in our securities.

 

  We have a limited operating history in an evolving industry, which makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and may increase the risk that we will not be successful.

 

  Our limited operating history makes it difficult for us to evaluate our future business prospects and make decisions based on those estimates of our future performance.

 

  The COVID-19 outbreak caused disruptions in our development operations, which have resulted in delays in existing projects and may have additional negative impacts on our operations.

 

  Our results of operations have not resulted in profitability and we may not be able to achieve profitability going forward.

 

  We have not generated positive cash flow from operations and our ability to generate positive cash flow is uncertain. If we are unable to generate positive cash flow or obtain sufficient capital when needed, our business and future prospects will be adversely affected and we could be forced to suspend or discontinue operations.

 

  We will require additional capital to support business growth and this capital might not be available on acceptable terms, if at all.

 

  We depend upon key personnel and need additional personnel.

 

1

 

 

  Our business requires substantial capital and if we are unable to maintain adequate cash flows from operations our profitability and financial condition will suffer and jeopardize our ability to continue operations.

 

  There is currently a limited public market for our common stock. Failure to further develop or maintain a trading market could negatively affect the value of our common stock and make it difficult or impossible for you to sell your stock.

 

  If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud. As a result, current and potential stockholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting, which would harm our business and the trading price of our stock.

 

  Because we are quoted on the OTC PINK marketplace instead of a national securities exchange, our investors may experience significant volatility in the market price of our stock and have difficulty selling their shares.

 

  Our stock price and trading volume may be volatile, which could result in substantial losses for our stockholders.

 

  We have not paid dividends in the past and have no immediate plans to pay cash dividends.

 

  Shares eligible for future sale may adversely affect the market for our Common Stock.

 

  You may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings.

 

  Our charter documents and Nevada law may inhibit a takeover that stockholders consider favorable.

 

  There are limitations on director/officer liability.

 

  Penny stock regulations may impose certain restrictions on marketability of our securities.

 

  FINRA sales practice requirements may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

GBT Tokenize Joint Venture (Impaired in 2021)

 

On March 6, 2020, the Company through Greenwich entered into a Joint Venture and Territorial License Agreement (the “2020 Tokenize Agreement”) with Tokenize-It, S.A. (“Tokenize”). Under the 2020 Tokenize Agreement, the parties formed GBT Tokenize and Tokenize contributed its technology portfolio as described in the 2020 Tokenize Agreement with each Tokenize and the Company owning 50% of GBT Tokenize. The purpose of GBT Tokenize is to develop, maintain and support source codes for its proprietary technologies including advanced mobile chip technologies, tracking, radio technologies, AI core engine, electronic design automation, mesh, games, data storage, networking, IT services, business process outsourcing development services, customer service, technical support and quality assurance for business, customizable and dedicated inbound and outbound calls solutions, as well as digital communications processing for enterprises and start-ups (“Technology Portfolio”). In addition to the Technology Portfolio, Tokenize contributed the services and resources for the development of the Technology Portfolio to GBT Tokenize. The Company contributed 2,000,000 shares of common stock.

 

On May 28, 2021, the parties agreed to amend the 2020 Tokenize Agreement to expand the territory granted for the Technology Portfolio under the license to GBT Tokenize to include the entire continental United States. The Company issued GBT Tokenize an additional 14,000,000 shares of common stock. On June 30, 2021, Tokenize and its shareholder assigned all their rights under the 2020 Tokenize Agreement, including the Company’s pledged 50% ownership in GBT Tokenize to Magic.

 

On April 11, 2022, the Company, through Greenwich, entered into a Master Joint Venture and Territorial License Agreement (the “2022 Tokenize Agreement”) with Magic and Tokenize which replaced the 2020 Tokenize Agreement. The Company issued GBT Tokenize an additional 150,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company.

 

GBT Tokenize has developed a vital device based on the Technology Portfolio that is ready for commercialization, as well as certain derivative technologies, which positioned GBT Tokenize to further develop or license certain code sources. On April 3, 2023, GBT Tokenize entered its first commercial transaction to date through the sale of the Avant-AI! technology that been developed by GBT Tokenize, based on the Technology Portfolio pursuant to which GBT Tokenize received 26,000,000 shares of common stock of Buyer’s shares – Avant Technologies, Inc.

(“Magic”) and GBT Tokenize Corp (“GBT Tokenize”).

 

The 2023 Tokenize Agreement restated and replaced the 2022 Tokenize Agreement. Pursuant to the 2023 Tokenize Agreement, as a result of the contribution of the Technology Portfolio by Tokenize and the subsequent contribution of services for the development of the Technology Portfolio by Tokenize and Magic, GBT Tokenize has been able to continue in operation, which has benefited the Company despite its contribution of 166 million shares of common stock valued at approximately $50,000. In order to maintain its 50% ownership interest in GBT Tokenize, the Company agreed to contribute its portfolio of intellectual property to GBT Tokenize and issue to GBT Tokenize 1,000 shares of Series I Preferred Stock (the “Series I Stock”) with a stated value of $35,000 per share which is convertible into common stock of the Company by dividing the stated value by the conversion price of $0.0035, which, if converted in full would result in the issuance of 10 billion shares of common stock of the Company. Further, the Series I Stock will vote on an as converted basis.

 

On November 2, 2023, the Company received a notice of completion (notice # 508205896) of the recoding of assignment for its portfolio of intellectual property to GBT Tokenize.

Wireless mesh networking:

 

Wireless mesh networks consist of LAN/MAN/WAN solutions that are infrastructural-intensive, may rely on regulated frequencies and bandwidth, often have so-called “last mile” problems areas where either economics or population density make it too expensive for current solutions to cover, and difficult to manage centrally. The Company’s GopherInsight platform makes it easy to add and manage last mile capacity. The solution is easily integrated into existing networks. The Company’s AI platform is designed for easy integration with, and management of, additional coverage for customer networks.

 

Wireless mesh networking markets - The Company potentially will target telecommunications providers, corporate entities that run LAN or wide-area networks, universities, and government entities.

 

Wireless mesh networking markets competition - The competitors for wireless mesh networking solutions, and AI solutions, are the entities themselves that have their own capability. The Company’s strategy is to integrate and “wrap around” those solutions to make them more efficient, less costly, and less infrastructural-intensive, while at the same time solving last mile problems to the end user.

 

AlKhatib Consulting Group:

 

On February 1, 2023, the Company engaged AlKhatib Consulting Group to provide exclusive representation services in connect with managing market partners, effective on February 1, 2023 for 24 consecutive months.

Tokenize owns certain provisional patent applications, patent applications, patents, and/or related foreign patents and applications, and wishes potentially to sell all right, title, and interest in such patents and applications and the causes of action to sue for infringement thereof and other enforcement rights. Tokenize will pay Agent a commission of 20% of any proceeds of any closed transaction under this RA, including all cash, equity payments and any other form of consideration upon a sale, or any monetization activity under the RA.

Regulatory

 

The Company seeks to conduct business with US government agencies and hired a consulting firm for general guidance with the GSA (General Services Administration) application process. GSA approval status describes an organization that have been approved to sell to the US Government through the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA). The GSA is an independent agency of the United States Government that was established in 1949 to help manage, approve, and facilitate government contracts, products, bids and verify that product and services properly sourced under the US Government guidelines. The GSA is the purchasing department of the US Government and lists contracts or schedules potential vendors that can bid on to get government business. To become eligible to bid on a GSA schedule, it is required to complete several important steps, among them are registering in the government’s SAM (System for Award Management), and providing previous customer contact information as a means for the GSA to perform a past performance evaluation. More information can be found on GSA web site at: https://www.gsa.gov. The Company applied and received their extension notice for SAM registration #832011626/91FW3 until May 2023. The active status makes GBT eligible to potentially contract business with US government contractors and sub-contractors, local cities or receive federal funds. SAM (www.sam.gov) is a central registration system for government contractors and suppliers. To remain eligible to do business with the federal government, an entity must renew its registration with SAM every year.

Employees

 

As of December 31, 2024, we had 3 full time employees and no part time employees. We also utilize outside consultants and contractors as needed.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

As a Smaller Reporting Company, the Company is not required to include the disclosure under this Item 1A. Risk Factors. Despite the fact that we are not required to provide risk factors, we consider the following factors to be risks to our continued growth and development:

 

WE HAVE A LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY IN AN EVOLVING INDUSTRY, WHICH MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO EVALUATE OUR FUTURE PROSPECTS AND MAY INCREASE THE RISK THAT WE WILL NOT BE SUCCESSFUL.

 

We have a limited operating history in an evolving industry that may not develop as expected. Assessing our business and future prospects is challenging in light of the risks and difficulties we may encounter. These risks and difficulties include our ability to:

 

  accurately forecast our revenues and plan our operating expenses;

 

  successfully expand our business;

 

  assimilate our acquisitions;

 

  adapt to rapidly evolving trends in the ways consumers and businesses interact with technology;

 

  avoid interruptions or disruptions in the offering of our products and our services;

 

  develop a scalable, high-performance technology infrastructure that can efficiently and reliably handle increased usage, as well as the deployment of new features and products;

 

  hire, integrate and retain talented sales, customer service, technology and other personnel; and

 

  effectively manage rapid growth in personnel and operations; and

 

  global COVID-19 pandemic

 

If the demand for our services and/or platforms/products offered or our products under development are not finalized, our business will be harmed. We may not be able to successfully address these risks and difficulties, which could harm our business and results of operations.

 

6

 

 

OUR LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR US TO EVALUATE OUR FUTURE BUSINESS PROSPECTS AND MAKE DECISIONS BASED ON THOSE ESTIMATES OF OUR FUTURE PERFORMANCE.

 

We have a limited operating history and, as a consequence, it is difficult, if not impossible, to forecast our future results based upon our historical data. Reliance on the historical results may not be representative of the results we will achieve. Because of the uncertainties related to our limited historical operations, we may be hindered in our ability to anticipate and timely adapt to increases or decreases in revenues or expenses. If we make poor budgetary decisions as a result of unreliable historical data, we could be less profitable or continue to incur losses.

 

OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS HAVE NOT RESULTED IN PROFITABILITY AND WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ACHIEVE PROFITABILITY GOING FORWARD

 

The Company does not accrue or capitalize development costs (or any costs to this effect) and expense it to its profit and loss statements as required by US GAAP. As such, the Company incurred operating loss of $644,697 for the year ended December 31, 2024. If we incur additional significant operating losses, our stock price, may decline, perhaps significantly. Our management is developing plans to alleviate the negative trends and conditions described above. Our business plan is speculative and unproven. There is no assurance that we will be successful in executing our business plan or that even if we successfully implement our business plan, that we will be able to curtail our losses now or in the future. Further, as we are an emerging enterprise, we expect that net losses will continue, and our working capital deficiency will increase.

 

WE HAVE NOT GENERATED POSITIVE CASH FLOW FROM OPERATIONS, AND OUR ABILITY TO GENERATE POSITIVE CASH FLOW IS UNCERTAIN. IF WE ARE UNABLE TO GENERATE POSITIVE CASH FLOW OR OBTAIN SUFFICIENT CAPITAL WHEN NEEDED, OUR BUSINESS AND FUTURE PROSPECTS WILL BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED AND WE COULD BE FORCED TO SUSPEND OR DISCONTINUE OPERATIONS.

 

Our operations have not generated positive cash flow for any period since our inception, and we have funded our operations primarily through the issuance of common stock and short-term and long-term debt and convertible debt. Our limited operating history makes an evaluation of our future prospects difficult. The actual amount of funds that we will need to meet our operating needs will be determined by a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include the timing and volume of sales transactions, the success of our marketing strategy, market acceptance of our products, the success of our manufacturing and research and development efforts (including any unanticipated delays), our manufacturing and labor costs, the costs associated with obtaining and enforcing our intellectual property rights, regulatory changes, competition, technological developments in the market, evolving industry standards and the amount of working capital investments we are required to make.

 

Our ability to continue to operate until we are able to generate sufficient our cash flow from operations will depend on our ability to generate sufficient positive cash flow from our operations. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow from our operations, our business and future prospects will be adversely affected and we could be forced to suspend or discontinue operations.

 

The Company sustained a net operating loss of $644,697, a total net income of $20,675,445 and our operating activities provide by cash flows of $27,142 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company had a working capital deficit of $9,940,379, stockholders’ deficit of $10,184,119 and an accumulated deficit of $295,278,233 at December 31, 2024.

 

WE WILL REQUIRE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL TO SUPPORT BUSINESS GROWTH, AND THIS CAPITAL MIGHT NOT BE AVAILABLE ON ACCEPTABLE TERMS, IF AT ALL.

 

7

 

 

We intend to continue to make investments to support our business growth and we will require additional funds to respond to business challenges, including the need to develop new features and products or enhance our existing products, improve our operating infrastructure or acquire complementary businesses and technologies. Further, we need additional capital to continue operations. Accordingly, we need to engage in equity or debt financings to secure additional funds. We expect that we have sufficient capital sources to maintain operations through the year of 2024. In order to fully implement our business plan, we will need to raise about $12,000,000 If we raise additional funds through future issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, our existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences and privileges superior to those of holders of our common stock. Any debt financing that we secure in the future could involve restrictive covenants relating to our capital raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions. We may not be able to obtain additional financing on terms favorable to us, if at all. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us when we require it, our ability to continue to support our business growth and to respond to business challenges could be impaired, and our business may be harmed.

 

WE DEPEND UPON KEY PERSONNEL AND NEED ADDITIONAL PERSONNEL

 

Our success depends on our inability to attract and retain key personnel including, Michael Murray, our CEO, Mansour Khatib, our Secretary, and Dr. Danny Rittman, our CTO, and our inability to do so may materially and adversely affect our business operations. The loss of qualified personnel could have a material and adverse effect on our business operations. Additionally, the success of the Company’s operations will largely depend upon its ability to successfully attract and maintain competent and qualified key management personnel. As with any company with limited resources, there can be no guaranty that the Company will be able to attract such individuals or that the presence of such individuals will necessarily translate into profitability for the Company.

 

OUR BUSINESS REQUIRES SUBSTANTIAL CAPITAL, AND IF WE ARE UNABLE TO MAINTAIN ADEQUATE CASH FLOWS FROM OPERATIONS OUR PROFITABILITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION WILL SUFFER AND JEOPARDIZE OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE OPERATIONS

 

We require substantial capital to support our operations. If we are unable to generate adequate cash flows from our operations, maintain adequate financing or other sources of capital are not available, we could be forced to suspend, curtail or reduce our operations, which could harm our revenues, profitability, financial condition and business prospects.

 

THERE IS CURRENTLY A LIMITED PUBLIC MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK. FAILURE TO FURTHER DEVELOP OR MAINTAIN A TRADING MARKET COULD NEGATIVELY AFFECT THE VALUE OF OUR COMMON STOCK AND MAKE IT DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU TO SELL YOUR STOCK.

 

There is a limited public market for our Common Stock, which is traded on the OTC PINK under the symbol GTCH. We cannot give any assurances that there will ever be a mature, developed market for our common stock. Failure to further develop or maintain an active trading market could negatively affect the value of our shares and make it difficult for you to sell your shares or recover any part of your investment in us. Even if a market for our common stock does develop in a material way, the market price of our common stock may be highly volatile. In addition to the uncertainties relating to our future operating performance and the profitability of our operations, factors such as variations in our interim financial results, or various, as yet unpredictable factors, many of which are beyond our control, may have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock.

 

IF WE FAIL TO MAINTAIN AN EFFECTIVE SYSTEM OF INTERNAL CONTROLS, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ACCURATELY REPORT OUR FINANCIAL RESULTS OR PREVENT FRAUD. AS A RESULT, CURRENT AND POTENTIAL STOCKHOLDERS COULD LOSE CONFIDENCE IN OUR FINANCIAL REPORTING, WHICH WOULD HARM OUR BUSINESS AND THE TRADING PRICE OF OUR STOCK.

Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and effectively prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our brand and operating results could be harmed. We have in the past discovered, and may in the future discover, areas of our internal controls that need improvement. For example, for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we reported that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the lack of resources and the reliance on outside consultants. We intend to increase management’s review of our financials. We cannot be certain that these measures will ensure that we implement and maintain adequate controls over our financial processes and reporting in the future. Any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm our operating results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations. Inferior internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our stock.

 

Additional Risks Related to Our Common Stock

 

Because we are quoted on the OTC PINK marketplace instead of a national securities exchange, our investors may experience significant volatility in the market price of our stock and have difficulty selling their shares.

 

Our Common Stock is currently quoted on the OTC Market Group’s OTC PINK marketplace under the ticker symbol “GTCH”. The OTC is a regulated quotation service that displays real-time quotes and last sale prices in over-the-counter securities. Trading in shares quoted on the OTC PINK is often thin and characterized by volatility. This volatility may be caused by a variety of factors, including the lack of readily available price quotations, the absence of consistent administrative supervision of bid and ask quotations, lower trading volume and market conditions. As a result, there may be wide fluctuations in the market price of the shares of our Common Stock for reasons unrelated to operating performance, and this volatility, when it occurs, may have a negative effect on the market price for our securities. Moreover, the OTC PINK is not a stock exchange, and trading of securities on this platform is more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on a national quotation system or stock exchange. Accordingly, our stockholders may not be able to realize a fair price from their shares when they determine to sell them or may have to hold them for a substantial period of time until the market for our Common Stock improves.

 

Our stock price and trading volume may be volatile, which could result in substantial losses for our stockholders.

 

The equity trading markets may experience periods of volatility, which could result in highly variable and unpredictable pricing of equity securities. The market price of our Common Stock could change in ways that may or may not be related to our business, our industry or our operating performance and financial condition. In addition, the trading volume in our Common Stock has been low and may fluctuate and cause significant price variations to occur. We have experienced significant volatility in the price of our stock. In addition, the stock markets in general can experience considerable price and volume fluctuations.

 

We have not paid dividends in the past and have no immediate plans to pay cash dividends.

 

We plan to reinvest all of our earnings, to the extent we have earnings, to develop and deliver our products and cover operating costs and to otherwise become and remain competitive. We do not plan to pay any cash dividends with respect to our securities in the foreseeable future. We cannot assure you that we would, at any time, generate sufficient surplus cash that would be available for distribution to the holders of our Common Stock as a dividend. Therefore, you should not expect to receive cash dividends on our Common Stock.

 

Shares eligible for future sale may adversely affect the market for our Common Stock.

 

Of the 16,813,229,180 shares of our Common Stock outstanding as of the date of this Annual Report, approximately 766,217,939 are restricted and 16,047,011,241 shares are freely tradable without restriction pursuant to Rule 144. Any substantial sale of our Common Stock pursuant to Rule 144 or pursuant to any resale prospectus may have a material adverse effect on the market price of our Common Stock.

 

9

 

 

You may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings.

 

To raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional shares of our Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our Common Stock at prices that may not be the same as the price per share in this offering. We may sell shares or other securities in any future offering at a price per share that is lower than the price per share paid by investors in this offering, which would result in those newly issued shares being dilutive. In addition, investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing stockholders, which could impair the value of your shares. The price per share at which we sell additional shares of our Common Stock, or securities convertible or exchangeable into shares of our Common Stock, in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per share paid by investors in this offering.

 

Our charter documents and Nevada law may inhibit a takeover that stockholders consider favorable.

 

Provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and applicable provisions of Nevada law may delay or discourage transactions involving an actual or potential change in control or change in our management, including transactions in which stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares, or transactions that our stockholders might otherwise deem to be in their best interests. The provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws:

 

  limit who may call stockholder meetings;

 

  do not provide for cumulative voting rights; and

 

  provide that all vacancies may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of directors then in office, even if less than a quorum.

 

There are limitations on director/officer liability.

 

As permitted by Nevada law, our certificate of incorporation limits the liability of our directors for monetary damages for breach of a director’s fiduciary duty except for liability in certain instances. As a result of our charter provision and Nevada law, shareholders may have limited rights to recover against directors for breach of fiduciary duty. In addition, our certificate of incorporation provides that we shall indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law.

 

Penny stock regulations may impose certain restrictions on marketability of our securities.

 

The SEC adopted regulations which generally define a “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5 per share or an exercise price of less than $5 per share, subject to certain exceptions. A security listed on a national securities exchange is exempt from the definition of a penny stock. Our Common Stock is not currently listed on a national security exchange. Our Common Stock is therefore subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally those with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with their spouse). For transactions covered by such rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of such securities and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase.

 

Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a risk disclosure document mandated by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also disclose the commission payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the broker dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. Broker-dealers must wait two business days after providing buyers with disclosure materials regarding a security before effecting a transaction in such security. Consequently, the “penny stock” rules restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and affect the ability of investors to sell our securities in the secondary market and the price at which such purchasers can sell any such securities, thereby affecting the liquidity of the market for our Common Stock.

 

10

 

 

Stockholders should also be aware that, according to the SEC, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include:

 

  control of the market for the security by one or more broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer;

 

  manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases;

 

  “boiler room” practices involving high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons;

 

  excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and

 

  the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the inevitable collapse of those prices with consequent investor losses.

 

FINRA sales practice requirements may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

 

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (referred to as FINRA) has rules requiring that, in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative or low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA has indicated its belief that there is a high probability that speculative or low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. If these FINRA requirements are applicable to us or our securities, they may make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that at least some of their customers buy our Common Stock, which may limit the ability of our stockholders to buy and sell our common stock and could have an adverse effect on the market for and price of our common stock.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, the Company may be involved in various litigation matters, which arise in the ordinary course of business. There is currently no litigation that management believes will have a material impact on the financial position of the Company.

 

Relate to 2022:

 

On December 3, 2018, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with Discover Growth Fund, LLC (the “Investor”) pursuant to which the Company issued a Senior Secured Redeemable Convertible Debenture (the “Debenture”) of $8,340,000. In connection with the issuance of the Debenture and pursuant to the terms of the SPA, the Company issued a Common Stock Purchase Warrant to acquire up to 225,000 shares of common stock for a term of three years (the “Warrant”) on a cash-only basis at an exercise price of $100 per share with respect to 50,000 Warrant Shares, $75 with respect to 75,000 Warrant Shares and $50 with respect to 100,000 Warrant Shares. The holder may not exercise any portion of the Warrants to the extent that the holder would own more than 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock immediately after exercise. The outstanding principal amount may be

 

11

 


converted at any time into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to 95% of the Market Price less $5 (the conversion price is lowered by 10% upon the occurrence of each Triggering Event – the current conversion price is 75% of the Market Price less $5.00). The Market Price is the average of the 5 lowest individual daily volume weighted average prices during the period the Debenture is outstanding. On May 28, 2019, the Investor delivered to the Company a “Notice of Default and Notice of Sale of Collateral” (the “Notice”). On December 23, 2019, in arbitration between the Company and the Investor, an Interim Award was entered in favor of the Investor. On January 31, 2020, the Company was informed that a final award was entered (the “Final Award”). The Final Award affirms that certain sections of the Debenture constitute unenforceable liquidated damages penalties and were stricken. Further, it was determined that the Investor was entitled to recovery of their attorney’s fees. Consequently, the arbitrator awarded Investor an award of $4,034,444 plus interest of 7.25% accrued from May 15, 2019 and costs of $55,613. On February 18, 2020, the Company filed a motion with the United States District Court District of Nevada (the “Nevada Court”) to confirm the Final Award and a motion to consolidate Investor’s application to confirm the Final Award filed in the U.S. District Court of the Virgin Islands (Case No: 3 :20-cv-00012-CVG-RM) (the “Virgin Island Court”). On February 27, 2020, the Nevada Court denied the Company’s motion to confirm the Final Award and motion to consolidate and further decided that the confirmation of the Final Award should be litigated in the Virgin Island Court. As such, on February 27, 2020, the Company filed a Notice of Entry of Order as well as a Motion to Confirm the Arbitration Award, address the outstanding issues regarding whether Investor’s rights are subordinated to other creditors and, thereafter, oversee a commercially reasonable foreclosure sale (Case No: 3 :20-cv-00012-CVG-RM). It was the Company’s position that the Final Award must first be confirmed and all questions regarding the rights of Investor relative to those of other creditors must be determined before any foreclosure sale can proceed. It is further the position of the Company that the previously disclosed foreclosure sale scheduled by Investor is being conducted in a commercially unreasonable manner and that if Discover proceeded forward with the foreclosure sale it did so at its own risk. Nevertheless, on February 28, 2020, Investor advised that it conducted a sale of the Company’s assets. As the date of this report Investor failed to present a deed of sale for the alleged sale that allegedly took place as noticed. The Company filed with Virgin Island Court the motions disputing the validity of the alleged sale. On July 28, 2020, Investor filed in the State of Nevada a motion for attorneys $48,844 and costs $716. The Company filed an answer on August 11, 2020. On October 16, 2020, Investor motion for attorneys $48,844 and costs $716 was denied. This case is still pending with the Federal court and the Court has not taken any substantive action in the matter as of the date of this report. Based on Discover notice in writing of selling all the Company’s assets, the Company intend to invoice Discover for that sale and offset the settlement amount at the end of the year. On January 25, 2024 Virgin Island Court ordered that Final Award is confirmed.

 

As part of its financial review for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the Board of Directors of the Company conducted an assessment of the Company’s Accrued Settlement Liability, a balance originally recorded in 2020 in connection with the arbitration award issued in favor of Discover Growth Fund, LLC (“DGF”). On February 28, 2020, DGF conducted a foreclosure sale of the Company’s assets. However, the Company was not provided with an accounting of the sale or details of the proceeds received by DGF. The Company has maintained its position that the foreclosure sale satisfied the arbitration award in full. Additionally, DGF has not taken any action to enforce collection of the liability since the arbitration award was confirmed by the U.S. District Court for the Virgin Islands on January 25, 2024.

 

Accounting Treatment

 

In accordance with ASC 405-20-40-1 (Liabilities - Extinguishment of Liabilities), a liability should be derecognized when it has been extinguished. Extinguishment occurs when the debtor is legally released from the obligation or when the obligation is otherwise settled. Given that:

 

• The Company’s assets were foreclosed and sold by DGF in 2020;

 

• No further collection efforts have been initiated by DGF;

 

• The Company maintains that the foreclosure sale satisfied the judgment;

 

• The Company does not intend to make any payment toward the liability; and

 

• Carrying the liability indefinitely would misrepresent the Company’s financial position, inflating its balance sheet without a true expectation of payment;

 

12

 

 

The Board of Directors approved the write-off of the remaining Accrued Settlement Liability in the amount of $5,755,400, recognizing it as a gain in the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.

 

Financial Statement Impact

 

As a result of this decision, the Company recognized a $5,755,400 gain on extinguishment of liability, which is included in other income in the consolidated statement of operations. The corresponding reduction in liabilities is reflected in the balance sheet under Accrued Settlement Liabilities, reducing the Company’s total liabilities.

 

Going Concern Consideration

 

The Company continues to operate under going concern uncertainty. This write-off does not impact the Company’s assessment of its financial viability, as its ability to continue operations depends on factors including access to financing and future business performance. However, if any party disputes the Company’s position in the future and initiates collection efforts, the Company will defend its position and disclose any developments accordingly.

 

Relate to 2023:

 

On or about July 9, 2021 the Company filed a lawsuit in District Court in Clack County Nevada – Department 19 (Case number A-21-837631-C) against Terry Taylor and TTSG Holdings, Inc for breach of contract, breach of covenant of Good Faith and Fair Dealing, Unjust Enrichment and declaratory relief for failure of providing consulting services per contract they entered. The Company is demanding the return of 240,000 shares issued, return of the $5,000 payments, recission of the consulting agreement, and attorney’s fees and costs. As Terry Taylor and TTSG Holdings failed to appear to a notice of deposition, the Company filed for a summary judgment. On January 20, 2023 the court issued a $708,821 writ of execution against Terry Taylor and TTSG. As of filing date, the Company has not collected any amount issued by the Court from Terry Taylor and TTSG.

 

Stock Loan Receivable

 

On January 8, 2019, the Company entered into a Stock Pledge Agreement with Latin American Exchange Latinex Casa de Cambio, S.A., a Costa Rica corporation (“Latinex”), to provide that Latinex may maintain its required regulatory capital as required by various regulators. The Company pledged 4,006 restricted shares of its common stock valued at $7,610,147 (based on the closing price on the grant date) for three years for an annual payment of $375,000 paid in quarterly installments of $93,750. In lieu of cash payment, Latinex may pay the Company in virtual currency of WISE Network S.A. valued at a 50% discount of its offering price of $10 per token. In the event that Latinex’s required capital has decreased below $5,000,000, Latinex is permitted to sell the pledged shares of common stock only in an amount to ensure that Latinex can satisfy the required capital levels. The Company must consent to such sale of the shares of common stock, which may not be unreasonably withheld. Upon expiration of the agreement, the remaining shares of common stock shall be returned to the Company free and clear of all liens. The Company recorded the value of these shares of common stock as a stock loan receivable which is presented as a contra-equity account in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. At December 31, 2019, the Company wrote off the accrued interest income as Latinex did not perform any payment and the Company has no mean to enforce this payment. Latinex agreed in principle to return the pledged 4,006 restricted shares to the Company for cancellation. The 4,006 restricted shares have not yet been returned to the Company as of December 31, 2024.

Metaverse Agreements

 

On June 10, 2022, the Company, entered into a Joint Venture and Territorial License Agreement (the “Metaverse Agreement”) with Ildar Gainulin and Maria Belova (collectively, the “Licensor”). Under the Metaverse Agreement, the parties formed Metaverse Kit Corp., a Nevada corporation (“Metaverse Kit”). The purpose of Metaverse Kit was to develop, maintain and support source codes for its proprietary technologies and comprehensive platform that combines a core virtual reality platform and an extended set of real-world functions to provide a metaverse experience initially within the area of sports and then expanding into virtual worlds of entertainment, live events, gaming, communications and other cross over product opportunities (the “Meta Portfolio”). Under the Metaverse Agreement, Licensor agreed to provide Metaverse Kit with the licensed technology and expertise. In connection therewith, the parties entered an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Metaverse APA”) concurrently with the Metaverse Agreement whereby Licensor sold Metaverse Kit all source codes pertaining to the Meta Portfolio. Further, Licensor provided an exclusive license to Metaverse Kit throughout the world for the invented product/service and the related platforms relating to the Meta Portfolio and to use the know how to develop, manufacture, sell, market and distribute the Meta Portfolio throughout the world. The Company was required to contribute 500,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company (“GBT Shares”) to Metaverse Kit. Licensor and the Company were to each own 50% of Metaverse Kit. The Company pledged its 50% ownership in Metaverse Kit to Igor 1 Corp. to secure a convertible note held by Igor 1 Corp. The Company was to appoint two directors and Licensor was allowed to appoint one director of Metaverse Kit. In addition, Metaverse Kit, Licensor and Elentina Group, LLC (“Elentina”) entered into a Consulting Agreements in which IGBM and Elentina, each were engaged to provide services for $25,000 per month payable quarterly which Metaverse Kit has the option to pay in shares of common stock calculated by the amount owed divided by the Company’s 10-day VWAP. Licensor and Elentina were to provide services in connection with the development of the business as well as Metaverse Kit’s capital raising efforts. The term of the Consulting Agreement was two years. The closing of the Metaverse Agreement occurred on June 13, 2022.

 

On March 14, 2023, the Company received a counter signed Settlement Agreement and Release by Licensor dated March 2, 2023 (“Settlement Agreement”). Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the parties agreed that Metaverse Agreement, the Metaverse APA and the Consulting Agreement are void and cancelled. Licensor agreed to pay $5,000 to the Company as settlement payment and surrender their shares in Metaverse Kit.

Penny Stock

 

Our common stock is considered “penny stock” under the rules of the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The SEC adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ Stock Market System, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or quotation system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission, that:

 

contains a description of the nature and level of risks in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading;

 

contains a description of the broker’s or dealer’s duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements of Securities’ laws; contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price;

 

contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;
   
defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and

 

contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type, size and format, as the Commission shall require by rule or regulation.

 

The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with:

 

bid and offer quotations for the penny stock;

 

the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction;

 

the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the marker for such stock; and

 

monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account.

 

15

 

 

In addition, the penny stock rules that require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written acknowledgement of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitably statement.

 

These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock.

Series I Preferred Shares

 

On July 20, 2023, the Company through its wholly owned subsidiary, Greenwich International Holdings, a Costa Rica corporation (“Greenwich”), entered into an Amended and Restated Joint Venture (the “2023 Tokenize Agreement”) with Magic and GBT Tokenize. The 2023 Tokenize Agreement restated and replaced the 2022 Tokenize Agreement. Pursuant to the 2023 Tokenize Agreement, as a result of the contribution of the Technology Portfolio by Tokenize and the subsequent contribution of services for the development of the Technology Portfolio by Tokenize and Magic, GBT Tokenize has been able to continue in operation, which has benefited the Company despite its contribution of 166 million shares of common stock valued at approximately $50,000. In order to maintain its 50% ownership interest in GBT Tokenize, the Company agreed to contribute its portfolio of intellectual property to GBT Tokenize and issue to GBT Tokenize 1,000 shares of Series I Preferred Stock (the “Series I Stock”) with a stated value of $35,000 per share which is convertible into common stock of the Company by dividing the stated value by the conversion price of $0.0035, which, if converted in full would result in the issuance of 10 billion shares of common stock of the Company.

Recent Developments

 

Due to litigation with Discover Fund, in April 2020, GBT was forced to make the decision of changing the Company’s direction by developing a portfolio of intellectual property within the area of microchips technology and design. The years 2019 and 2020 were compounded with recuring legal issues and COVID-19 restrictions creating extremely difficult times and challenges. GBT focused on its core competency in the area of Research & Development (“R&D”) creating an IP portfolio combined of patents, trade secrets and prototypes further defining GBT’s new mission. GBT is now developing IP in areas which will leverage its competencies and experience with the goal of diversifying in various fast-growing semiconductor industries in today’s leading, growing market segments.

As described in Part I; Item 1, On July 20, 2023, the Company through Greenwich, entered into an Amended and Restated Joint Venture (the “2023 Tokenize Agreement”) with Magic Internacional Argentina FC, S.L. (“Magic”) and GBT Tokenize Corp (“GBT Tokenize”). Via vis this 2023 Tokenize Agreement, GBT will focus on expanding the families of various patents and concentrating on strategic potential partnerships with the goal of integrating these technologies into a broad marketplace, one that will potentially diversify the risk within these areas:

 

  1. Build a portfolio pipeline of IP related to microchip technology.

 

  2. Seek to actively introduce this new technology to strategic partners, large companies and VC’s creating market opportunities.

 

  3. Using market diversification to create access to new fields and future growth.

Wireless mesh networking:

 

Wireless mesh networks consist of LAN/MAN/WAN solutions that are infrastructural-intensive, may rely on regulated frequencies and bandwidth, often have so-called “last mile” problems areas where either economics or population density make it too expensive for current solutions to cover, and difficult to manage centrally. The Company’s GopherInsight platform makes it easy to add and manage last mile capacity. The solution is easily integrated into existing networks. The Company’s AI platform is designed for easy integration with, and management of, additional coverage for customer networks.

 

Wireless mesh networking markets - The Company potentially will target telecommunications providers, corporate entities that run LAN or wide-area networks, universities, and government entities.

 

Wireless mesh networking markets competition - The competitors for wireless mesh networking solutions, and AI solutions, are the entities themselves that have their own capability. The Company’s strategy is to integrate and “wrap around” those solutions to make them more efficient, less costly, and less infrastructural-intensive, while at the same time solving last mile problems to the end user.

Risks and Uncertainties

 

Management is currently evaluating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations, and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

In February 2022, the Russian Federation and Belarus commenced a military action with the country of Ukraine. As a result of this action, various nations, including the United States, have instituted economic sanctions against the Russian Federation and Belarus. Further, the impact of this action and related sanctions on the world economy are not determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The specific impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows is also not determinable as of the date of these financial statements.

 

In October 2023, the Hamas Terror Organization attacked the Southern part of Israel, which in turn, commenced a military action with Gaza Strip. As a result, these actions, have created and are expected to create global economic consequences. The specific impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows is also not determinable as of the date of these financial statements.

 

Consideration of Inflation Reduction Act Excise Tax

 

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases of stock by publicly traded U.S. domestic corporations and certain U.S. domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations occurring on or after January 1, 2023. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its shareholders from which shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax.

 

Investment Company Act 1940

 

Under the current rules and regulations of the SEC we are not deemed an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act; however, on March 30, 2022, the SEC proposed new rules (the “Proposed Rules”) relating, among other matters, to the circumstances in which SPACs such as the Company could potentially be subject to the Investment Company Act and the regulations thereunder. The Proposed Rules provide a safe harbor for companies from the definition of “investment company” under Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act, provided that a company satisfies certain criteria.

 

The Investment Company Act defines an investment company as any issuer which (i) is or holds itself out as being engaged primarily, or proposes to engage primarily, in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities; (ii) is engaged or proposes to engage in the business of issuing face-amount certificates of the installment type, or has been engaged in such business and has any such certificate outstanding; or (iii) is engaged or proposes to engage in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding, or trading in securities, and owns or proposes to acquire investment securities having a value exceeding 40% of the value of its total assets (exclusive of Government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis.

Years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023

 

A comparison of the statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 is as follows:

 

    Years Ended December 31,   Change
    2024   2023   $   %

Net income (loss)   $ 20,675,445     $ (17,771,626 )   $ 38,481,934       216 %

 

The Company have not generated any revenues for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

 

Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024 were $644,697, compared to $1,740,221 for the same period in 2023. The decrease of $1,095,524 or 63% was principally due to a decrease in marketing expenses of $44,516, decrease in general and administrative expenses of $430,980, and decrease in professional expenses of $620,028 for the year ended December 31, 2024 due to the cash flow issues.

 

Other income for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $21,320,142, an increase of $37,313,162 or 217% from $15,993,020 expenses for the same period in 2023. The increase in other income was principally due to i) a gain from debt extinguishment of $7,800,449; ii) gain from change in FV of derivative liability by $14,035,071; iii) reduction in interest expense and financing costs of $457,436.

 

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $20,675,445 compared to the net loss of $17,771,626 for the same period in 2023 due to the factors described above.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying cash flow statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $295,278,233 and has a working capital deficit of $9,940,379 as of December 31, 2024, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate profitable operations in the future and/or obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management has plans to seek additional capital through some private placement offerings of debt and equity securities. These plans, if successful, will mitigate the factors which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These CFS do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.

 

Our cash was $125 and $529 at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Cash provided by operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2024 was $27,142, compared to $51,341 used in operating activities during the same period in 2023. The amount provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31 2024 was primarily related to a net income of $20,675,445 and offset by amortization of debt discount of $46,003, excess of debt discount and financing costs of $7,084, change in FV of derivative liability of $14,035,071, change in FV of market equity security of $10,000, gain on debt extinguishment of $7,800,449, and net working capital increase of $1,087,393. Our working capital position changed by going from a working capital deficit of $31,781,634 at December 31, 2023 to a working capital deficit of $9,940,379 at December 31, 2024.

 

21

 

 

The amount used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2023 was primarily related to a net loss of $17,771,626 offset by amortization of debt discount of $322,933, excess of debt discount and financing costs of $1,462,446, change in FV of derivative liability of $13,759,482, gain on debt extinguishment of $315,297, loss on loss of control of $38,385, shares issued for services of 80,000, change in fair value of market equity security of $10,992, and net working capital deficit increase of $13,259,588.

 

Cash flows used in investing activities were $0 during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

 

Cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $27,546, compared to $38,182 provided by the same period in 2023. The decrease is due to the repayment of notes payable of $27,546.

 

We obtained a net income of $20,675,445 for the year ended December 31, 2024. In addition, we had a working capital deficit of $9,940,379 and an accumulated deficit of $295,278,233 at December 31, 2024.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates

 

Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of our financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, the reported amounts and classification of revenues and expenses during the periods presented, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and material changes in these estimates or assumptions could occur in the future. Changes in estimates are recorded on the period in which they become known. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances and at that time, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily-apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates if past experience or other assumptions do not turn out to be substantially accurate.

 

We believe that the accounting policies described below are critical to understanding our business, results of operations, and financial condition because they involve significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements. An accounting is deemed to be critical if it requires a judgment or accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain, and if different estimates that could have been used, or if changes in the accounting estimates that are reasonably likely to occur periodically, could materially impact our financial statements. Other significant accounting policies, primarily those with lower levels of uncertainty than those discussed below, are also critical to understanding our financial statements. The notes to our financial statements contain additional information related to our accounting policies and should be read in conjunction with this discussion.

 

Presentation of Financial Statements

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

 

Stock Split

 

On October 26, 2021, the Company effectuated a 1 for 50 reverse stock split. The share and per share information has been retroactively restated to reflect this reverse stock split.

 

22

 

 

Marketable Equity Securities

 

The Company accounts for marketable equity securities in accordance with ASC Topic 321, Investments – equity securities. Marketable equity securities are reported at FV based on quotations available on securities exchanges with any unrealized gain or loss being reported as a component of other income (expense) on the statement of operations. The portion of marketable equity security expected to be sold within twelve months of the balance sheet date is reported as a current asset. These publicly traded equity securities are valued using quoted prices and are included in Level 1.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”), became effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. The Company’s revenue recognition disclosure reflects its updated accounting policies that are affected by this new standard. The Company applied the “modified retrospective” transition method for open contracts for the implementation of Topic 606. The Company had no significant post-delivery obligations, this new standard did not result in a material recognition of revenue on the Company’s accompanying CFS for the cumulative impact of applying this new standard. The Company made no adjustments to its previously-reported total revenues, as those periods continue to be presented in accordance with its historical accounting practices under Topic 605, Revenue Recognition.

 

Revenue is recognized under Topic 606 as follows:

 

  executed contracts with the Company’s customers that it believes are legally enforceable;

 

  identification of performance obligations in the respective contract;

 

  determination of the transaction price for each performance obligation in the respective contract;

 

  allocation the transaction price to each performance obligation; and

 

  recognition of revenue only when the Company satisfies each performance obligation.

 

These five elements, as applied to each of the Company’s revenue category, is summarized below:

 

  IT consulting services – revenue is recorded on a monthly basis as services are provided; and

 

  License fees and Royalties – revenue is recognized based on the terms of the agreement with its customer.

 

 E-Commerce sales – (relate to interim reporting as this segment was discontinued)

 

  Identify the contract(s) with a customer. ASC 606 defines a contract as “an agreement between two or more parties that creates enforceable rights and obligations”. Since this is an e-commerce sale on the Amazon of eBay websites, the Company just followed the general terms on Amazon or eBay websites and the customer entered into a contract with the Company based on the product listed on the Amazon or eBay websites;

 

  Identify the performance obligations in the contract. According to the contract, the Company is responsible for operation exclusively. The Company is entitled to all revenue which is being paid by Amazon or eBay into a designated bank account and the Company is responsible for all product acquisitions as well as shipments. The only performance obligations were the electronic products that were listed on Amazon or eBay websites and the Company determined each order is one single obligation;

 

  Determine the transaction price. The transaction price set to be the listed price on the Amazon or eBay websites.;

 

  Allocation the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.; and

 

  Recognize revenue when the Company satisfies a performance obligation. Sales are being recognized upon shipment.

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company evaluates all of its agreements to determine if such instruments have derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its FV and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the FV reported in the statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses a weighted average Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date. As of December 31, 2023, the Company’s only derivative financial instrument was an embedded conversion feature associated with convertible notes payable due to certain provisions that allow for a change in the conversion price based on a percentage of the Company’s stock price at the date of conversion.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and short-term debt, the carrying amounts approximate their FV due to their short maturities.

 

FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, requires disclosure of the FV of financial instruments held by the Company. FASB ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, defines FV, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of FV measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for FV measures. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their FV because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:

 

  Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

  Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in inactive markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

 

  Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology us one or more unobservable inputs which are significant to the FV measurement.

 

The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under FASB ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging.

 

For certain financial instruments, the carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash and current liabilities, including convertible notes payable, each qualify as a financial instrument, and are a reasonable estimate of their FV because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest.

 

The Company uses Level 2 inputs for its valuation methodology for derivative liabilities as their FV were determined by using the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model based on various assumptions. The Company’s derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect FV at each period end, with any increase or decrease in the FV being recorded in results of operations as adjustments to FV of derivatives.

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. ASC 740 requires a company to use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of, the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

 

Under ASC 740, a tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The Company has no material uncertain tax positions for any of the reporting periods presented and its current on all its tax filings federal and state until 2021 inclusive.

MANAGEMENT’S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

 

Our management, consisting of our Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive and Financial Officer), is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f), is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and includes those policies and procedures that:

 

  Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

 

  Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and

 

  Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use of disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, ICFR reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

 

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our ICFR reporting as of December 31, 2024. Based on this assessment, management believes that as of December 31, 2024, our ICFR reporting is not effective based on those criteria.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM 

 

To the shareholders and the board of directors of GBT Technologies, Inc.
GBT Technologies Inc.
8557 West Knoll Dr.
West Hollywood, CA 90069

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of GBT Technologies, Inc. the "Company") as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related statement of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

 

Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has accumulated a deficit of $ 295,278,233 as of December 31, 2024 and has incurred recurring operating losses. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

  

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

 

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Critical Audit Matter

 

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

 

F-2

 

 

As part of our audit of the financial statements, we identified the company’s litigation and derivative liability as Critical Audit Matters due to their materiality, complexity, and the significant judgment required in assessing their financial impact.

 

1. Litigation Assessment : The company has been involved in significant litigation related to debt settlement. The company's legal liabilities, previously recorded at $4,090,057, along with accrued interest $1,665,342, were written off and recognized as gain on debt extinguishment income in the year ended December 31, 2024.

 

Litigation Assessment: We assessed the company's litigation disclosures, legal opinions, and potential outcomes. Our audit procedures included, among others, obtaining a list of litigation Company’s legal counsel, identifying material litigations from the aforementioned list and performing inquiries with the said counsel, obtaining and reading the underlying documents to assess the assumptions used by management in arriving at the conclusions, verifying the disclosures related to provisions and contingent liabilities in the financial statements to assess consistency. Accrued settlements discussed in Note 10.

 

Accrued settlements were referenced in Note 10 of the financial statements. Following management assessment, the recorded liability was removed and treated as gain on extinguishment of debt.

 

Given the significant judgment and estimation uncertainty involved in determining the appropriate accounting treatment for litigation write-offs, we have determined this matter to be a Critical Audit Matter requiring enhanced auditor attention and professional judgment.

 

2. Derivative Liabilities : As part of our audit, we identified the valuation of derivative liabilities as a Critical Audit Matter due to the complexity of fair value measurement, the reliance on significant assumptions, and the potential impact on the company’s financial statements and disclosures.

 

Convertible notes payable discussed in Note 8 have a conversion price that can be adjusted based on the Company’s stock price which results in the conversion feature being recorded as a derivative liability. The Company uses a weighted average Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions to measure the FV of derivative liability in Note 11. The outcome fair value of derivative liabilities could have a significant impact on the company's financial statements and disclosures. We focused on ensuring the accuracy and completeness of these key financial statement elements. The significant decrease in the fair value of derivative liability was mainly due to all convertible notes were modified to a fixed price on December 31, 2024

 

Given the significant estimation uncertainty and the potential material impact of derivative liabilities on the company’s financial statements, we placed a heightened focus on ensuring the accuracy, completeness, and reasonableness of these financial statement elements.

 

We conclude that the litigation and derivative liability met the criteria for being critical audit matters due to their materiality, complexity, and the level of judgment and estimation involved in their assessment.

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

F-9

 

 

Stock Split

 

On October 26, 2021, the Company effectuated a 1 for 50 reverse stock split. The share and per share information has been retroactively restated to reflect this reverse stock split.

 

In July 2, 2022 the Company filed a preliminary information statement to the stockholders of record (the “Record Date”) in connection with certain actions to be taken by the written consent by stockholders holding a majority of the voting stock of the Company, dated as of June 28, 2022.

 

  To amend the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, (the “Articles of Incorporation”) to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company from 2,000,000,000 shares to 10,000,000,000 shares. This action concluded on August 11, 2022:

 

    (i) authorize the Company’s Board of Directors to effect, in its sole discretion, a reverse stock split of the Common Stock in a ratio of up to 1-for-500 (the “Reverse Stock Split”), and (ii) authorize the filing of an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to implement the Reverse Stock Split and any other action deemed necessary to effectuate the Reverse Stock Split, without further approval or authorization of stockholders, at any time prior to December 31, 2023. This action was not commenced by the Company’s board.

 

On October 12, 2023, the Company amended its articles of incorporation to increase its authorized shares of common stock to 30,000,000,000 (the “Increase Amendment”). The Increase Amendment was approved by the board of directors as well as the shareholders holding in excess of a majority of the issued and outstanding voting shares of the Company.

 

Note 2 – Going Concern

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $295,278,233 and has a working capital deficit of $9,940,379 as of December 31, 2024, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate profitable operations in the future and/or obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management has plans to seek additional capital through some private placement offerings of debt and equity securities. These plans, if successful, will mitigate the factors which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These CFS do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.

 

Note 3 – Discontinued Operations

 

On February 18, 2022, the Company, effective March 1, 2022 entered into a Revenue Sharing Agreement (“RSA”) with Mahaser LTD. (“Mahaser”) pursuant to which the Company shares in revenues generated by Mahaser e-commerce sales through the online retail platform in the United States of America. Mahaser owns an e-commerce platform as a store which is the legal, exclusive owner of Ravenholm Electronics. The Company will operate the e-commerce platform and entitled to 95% for all revenue generated by and received by Mahaser from March 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022. The RSA provides that the Company will be entitled to appoint a manager to Mahaser. As consideration, the Company will pay Mahaser $100,000 no later than March 1, 2022 and issue Mahaser 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock, which were never issued. Effective July 1, 2023, the Company agreed to terminate the RSA with Mahaser Ltd.

Note 4 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected. Significant estimates in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include valuation of derivatives and valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries; the Company’s 50% owned subsidiaries: GBT Tokenize Corp, and GBT BitSpeed Corp. (currently inactive) and , Gopher Protocol Costa Rica Sociedad De Responsabilidad Limitada (currently inactive), a wholly owned subsidiary, AltCorp Trading LLC, a Costa Rica company (“AltCorp” currently inactive) and Greenwich International Holdings, a Costa Rica corporation (“Greenwich” currently inactive). All significant intercompany transactions and balances were eliminated.

 

For entities determined to be VIEs, an evaluation is required to determine whether the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company evaluates its economic interests in the entity specifically determining if the Company has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance (“the power”) and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE (“the benefits”). When making the determination whether the benefits received from an entity are significant, the Company considers the total economics of the entity, and analyzes whether the Company’s share of the economics is significant. The Company utilizes qualitative factors, and, where applicable, quantitative factors, while performing the analysis. In addition, the Company’s variable interests in Mahaser obligate the Company to absorb deficits and provide it with the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to Mahaser. As a result of this analysis, the Company concluded it is the primary beneficiary of Mahaser and therefore consolidates the balance sheets, results of operations and cash flows of Mahaser. The Company performs a qualitative assessment of Mahaser on an ongoing basis to determine if it continues to be the primary beneficiary.

 

Effective July 1, 2023, the Company terminated its joint venture revenue sharing (“Termination Agreement”) with Mahaser LTD (“Mahaser”). Until June 30, 2023, the Company’s variable interests in Mahaser obligate the Company to absorb deficits and provide it with the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to Mahaser. As a result of this analysis, the Company concluded it is the primary beneficiary of Mahaser and therefore consolidates the balance sheets, results of operations and cash flows of Mahaser until June 30, 2023. The Company performs a qualitative assessment of Mahaser on an ongoing basis to determine if it continues to be the primary beneficiary. Per the Termination Agreement, the Company has no access to Mahaser and ceased consolidated Mahaser as it does not comply with the condition in the qualitative assess, and as such this CFS does not include Mahaser operations for the year ended December 31, 2024.

 

F-11

 

 

Cash Equivalents

 

For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash equivalents include time deposits, certificate of deposits, and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not have any cash equivalents.

 

Marketable Securities

 

The Company accounts for investment securities in accordance with ASC Topic 321, Investments – equity securities. Marketable equity securities are reported at FV based on quotations available on securities exchanges with any unrealized gain or loss being reported as a component of other income (expense) on the statement of operations. The portion of marketable equity security expected to be sold within 12 months of the balance sheet date is reported as a current asset. These publicly traded equity securities are valued using quoted prices and are included in Level 1.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company evaluates all of its agreements to determine if such instruments have derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its FV and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the FV reported in the statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses a weighted-average Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company’s only derivative financial instrument was an embedded conversion feature associated with convertible notes payable due to certain provisions that allow for a change in the conversion price based on a percentage of the Company’s stock price at the date of conversion.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and short-term debt, the carrying amounts approximate their FV due to their short maturities.

 

FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, requires disclosure of the FV of financial instruments held by the Company. FASB ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, defines FV, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of FV measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for FV measures. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their FV because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:

 

  Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
     
  Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in inactive markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
     
  Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology use one or more unobservable inputs which are significant to the FV measurement.

 

The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under FASB ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging.

 

For certain financial instruments, the carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash and current liabilities, including convertible notes payable, each qualify as a financial instrument, and are a reasonable estimate of their FV because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest.

 

F-12

 

 

The Company uses Level 2 inputs for its valuation methodology for derivative liabilities as their FV were determined by using the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model based on various assumptions. The Company’s derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect FV at each period end, with any increase or decrease in the FV being recorded in results of operations as adjustments to FV of derivatives.

 

At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company identified the following liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at FV:

Treasury Stock

 

Treasury stock is recorded at cost. The re-issuance of treasury shares is accounted for on a first in, first-out basis and any difference between the cost of treasury shares and the re-issuance proceeds are charged or credited to additional paid-in capital. The Company has 8 treasury stock from acquisitions that commenced in 2011.

 

Reclassification

 

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.

 

Effective July 1, 2023, the Company terminated its joint venture revenue sharing (“Termination Agreement”) with Mahaser LTD (“Mahaser”). Until June 30, 2023, the Company’s variable interests in Mahaser obligate the Company to absorb deficits and provide it with the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to Mahaser. The Company evaluated for the period ended on June 30, 2023, whether it has a variable interest in Mahaser, whether Mahaser is a VIE and whether the Company has a controlling financial interest in Mahaser. The Company concluded that it has variable interests in Mahaser on the basis of GBT has 100% control over the JV/revenue sharing, and as such should consolidate the JV into its books and records as it assigned 100% financial responsibility. Mahaser’s equity at risk, as defined by GAAP, is considered to be insufficient to finance its activities without additional support, and, therefore, Mahaser is considered a VIE. As termination Agreement took place during the reporting period, the financial been classified to disclose this operation as discontinued operation.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”), became effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. The Company’s revenue recognition disclosure reflects its updated accounting policies that are affected by this new standard. The Company applied the “modified retrospective” transition method for open contracts for the implementation of Topic 606. The Company had no significant post-delivery obligations, this new standard did not result in a material recognition of revenue on the Company’s accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the cumulative impact of applying this new standard. The Company made no adjustments to its previously reported total revenues, as those periods continue to be presented in accordance with its historical accounting practices under Topic 605, Revenue Recognition.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company ceased their control and deconsolidated the VIE and now accounts its investment under the equity method. To reach its accounting conclusion, the Company claimed it holds no controlling financial interest in VisionWave.

 Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. ASC 740 requires a company to use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of, the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

 

Under ASC 740, a tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The Company has no material uncertain tax positions for any of the reporting periods presented and its current on all its tax filings federal and state until 2024 inclusive.

 

Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share

 

Earnings per share is calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS assumes that all dilutive securities are converted. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Due to the net income incurred potentially dilutive instruments would be anti-dilutive. Accordingly, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss for all periods presented. The following potentially-dilutive shares were excluded from the shares used to calculate diluted earnings per share as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

Management’s Evaluation of Subsequent Events

 

The Company evaluates events that have occurred after the balance sheet date of December 31, 2024, through the date which the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. Based upon the review, other than described in Note 17 – Subsequent Events, the Company did not identify any recognized or non-recognized subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”, which requires greater disaggregation of income tax disclosures related to the income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid and effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis although retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of this pronouncement on its financial statements and disclosures.

On June 17, 2019, the Company, AltCorp Trading LLC, a Costa Rica company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“AltCorp”), GBT Technologies, S.A., a Costa Rica company (“GBT-CR”) and Pablo Gonzalez, a shareholder’s representative of GBT-CR (“Gonzalez”), entered into and closed an Exchange Agreement (the “GBT Exchange Agreement”) pursuant to which the parties exchanged certain securities. In accordance with the Exchange Agreement, AltCorp acquired 625,000 shares of GBT-CR representing 25% of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock from Gonzalez for the issuance of 20,000 shares of Series H Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company and a Convertible Note in the principal amount of $10,000,000 issued by the Company (the “Gopher Convertible Note”) as well as the transfer and assignment of a Promissory Note payable by Gopher Protocol Costa Rica Sociedad De Responsabilidad Limitada to the Company in the principal amount of $5,000,000 dated February 6, 2019 (of which the underlying security for this Promissory Note is 30,000,000 restricted shares of common stock of Mobiquity Technologies, Inc. (“Mobiquity”) and 60,000,000 restricted shares of common stock of Mobiquity.

 

The Gopher Convertible Note bears interest of 6% and is payable at maturity on December 31, 2021.

The Company accounted for its investment in GBT-CR using the equity method of accounting; however, in 2020, the Company owned less than 20% after GBT-CR issued additional shares to other investors therefore exercised no control over GBT-CR; therefore, this investment is currently accounted for under the cost method. Moreover, on March 19, 2020, California Governor Gavin Newsom issued a stay-at-home order to protect the health and well-being of all Californians and to establish consistency across the state in order to slow the spread of COVID-19. California was therefore under strict quarantine control and travel has been severely restricted, resulting in disruptions to work, communications, and access to files (due to limited access to facilities). The stay-at-home order was lifted in California only on January 25, 2021. The Company was unable to access or to contact GBT-CR on an on-going basis, and cannot get information about GBT-CR.

Through this Joint Venture the parties commenced development of an intelligent human vital signs’ device, which we currently refer to as the qTerm. The platform is an expansion of the existing license agreement with GBT Tokenize Corp., which provided GBT Tokenize Corp. with an exclusive territory of California to develop certain of the Company’s technology. As the nature of the platform cannot be restricted only to California, the Company’s joint venture GBT Tokenize Corp. will be compensated with additional two hundred million shares of the Company to strengthen its funding, subject to board approval. A provisional patent application for the term Medical Device was filed on March 30, 2020 with the USPTO. The application has been assigned serial number 63001564. The Joint Venture completed successfully the first prototype. There is no guarantee that the Company will be successful in researching, developing or implementing this product into the market. In order to successfully implement this concept, the Company will need to raise adequate capital to support its research and, if successfully researched, developed and granted regulatory approval, the Company would need to enter into a strategic relationship with a third party that has experience in manufacturing, selling and distributing this product. There is no guarantee that the Company will be successful in any or all of these critical steps. On May 28, 2021, the parties agreed to amend the Tokenize Agreement to expand territory granted for the Technology Portfolio under the license to GBT Tokenize to include the entire continental United States. The Company has further agreed to issue GBT Tokenize an additional 14,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company. The shares were valued at $15,400,000. At March 31, 2020, the Company evaluated the carrying amount of this joint venture investment and determined that this investment was fully impaired and as a result an impairment charge of $5,500,000 was taken. At December 31, 2021, the Company evaluated the carrying amount of this joint venture investment and determined that this investment was fully impaired and as a result an impairment charge of $15,400,000 was taken.

 

On July 20, 2023, the Company through its wholly owned inactive subsidiary, Greenwich International Holdings, a Costa Rica corporation (“Greenwich”), entered into an Amended and Restated Joint Venture (the “2023 Tokenize Agreement”) with Magic Internacional Argentina FC, S.L. (“Magic”) and GBT Tokenize Corp (“GBT Tokenize”).

 

The 2023 Tokenize Agreement restated and replaced the 2022 Tokenize Agreement. Pursuant to the 2023 Tokenize Agreement, as a result of the contribution of the Technology Portfolio by Tokenize and the subsequent contribution of services for the development of the Technology Portfolio by Tokenize and Magic, GBT Tokenize has been able to continue in operation, which has benefited the Company despite its contribution of 166 million shares of common stock valued at approximately $50,000. In order to maintain its 50% ownership interest in GBT Tokenize, the Company agreed to contribute its portfolio of intellectual property to GBT Tokenize and issue to GBT Tokenize 1,000 shares of Series I Preferred Stock (the “Series I Stock”) with a stated value of $35,000 per share which is convertible into common stock of the Company by dividing the stated value by the conversion price of $0.0035, which, if converted in full would result in the issuance of 10 billion shares of common stock of the Company. Further, the Series I Stock will vote on an as converted basis.

 

The Company pledged its 50% ownership in GBT Tokenize and its 100% ownership of Greenwich to Magic to secure its Technology Portfolio investment.

 

Effective as of March 20, 2024, Tokeniz, entered into a Patent Purchase Agreement with VisionWave Technologies Inc.

In connection with a legal matter filed by the Investor of the $8,340,000 Senior Secured Redeemable Convertible Debenture, on December 23, 2019, in the pending arbitration between the Company and the Investor, an Interim Award was entered in favor of the Investor. On January 31, 2020, the Company was informed that a final award was entered (the “Final Award”). The Final Award affirms that certain sections of the Senior Secured Redeemable Convertible Debenture (the “Debenture”) constitute unenforceable liquidated damages penalties and were stricken. Further, it was determined that the Investor was entitled to recovery of their attorney’s fees. Consequently, the arbitrator awarded Investor an award of $4,034,444 plus interest of 7.25% accrued from May 15, 2019 (presented separately in accounts payable and accrued expenses) and costs of $55,613. In connection with this settlement, the Company recognized a gain on the settlement of debt of $1,375,556 in 2019 as the difference between the carrying amount of the debt and the amount awarded by the arbitrator. The Company recorded accrued settlement of $0 at December 31, 2024 and 4,090,057 at December 31, 2023, respectively. As part of its financial review for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the Board of Directors of the Company conducted an assessment of the Company’s Accrued Settlement Liability, a balance originally recorded in 2020 in connection with the arbitration award issued in favor of Discover Growth Fund, LLC (“DGF”). On February 28, 2020, DGF conducted a foreclosure sale of the Company’s assets. However, the Company was not provided with an accounting of the sale or details of the proceeds received by DGF. The Company has maintained its position that the foreclosure sale satisfied the arbitration award in full. Additionally, DGF has not taken any action to enforce collection of the liability since the arbitration award was confirmed by the U.S. District Court for the Virgin Islands on January 25, 2024.

 

Accounting Treatment

 

In accordance with ASC 405-20-40-1 (Liabilities - Extinguishment of Liabilities), a liability should be derecognized when it has been extinguished. Extinguishment occurs when the debtor is legally released from the obligation or when the obligation is otherwise settled. Given that:

 

• The Company’s assets were foreclosed and sold by DGF in 2020;

 

• No further collection efforts have been initiated by DGF;

 

• The Company maintains that the foreclosure sale satisfied the judgment;

 

• The Company does not intend to make any payment toward the liability; and

 

• Carrying the liability indefinitely would misrepresent the Company’s financial position, inflating its balance sheet without a true expectation of payment;

 

The Board of Directors approved the write-off of the remaining Accrued Settlement Liability in the amount of $5,755,400, recognizing it as a gain in the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.

However, if any party disputes the Company’s position in the future and initiates collection efforts, the Company will defend its position and disclose any developments accordingly.

 

Note 11 - Derivative Liability

 

Certain of the convertible notes payable discussed in Note 10 have a conversion price that can be adjusted based on the Company’s stock price which results in the conversion feature being recorded as a derivative liability.

 

The fair value of the derivative liability is recorded and shown separately under current liabilities. Changes in the fair value of the derivative liability is recorded in the statement of operations under other income (expense).

 

The Company uses a weighted average Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions to measure the fair value of derivative liability at December 31, 2024 and 2023:

 

               
    December 31,   December 31,
    2024   2023
Stock price   $ 0.0001     $ 0.0002  
                 
Risk free rate     4.245.46 %     5.26 – 5.60 %
Volatility     218509 %     427502 %
Conversion/ Exercise price   $ 0.000085     $ 0.0000750.000085  
Dividend rate     0 %     0 %

 

The following table represents the Company’s derivative liability activity for the period ended September 30, 2024:

 

       
Derivative liability balance, December 31, 2023   $ 14,116,062  
Mark to Market     613,928  
Fair value of beneficial conversion feature of debt converted     (694,919 )
Change in derivative liability during the period     (12,755,202 )
Derivative liability balance, December 31, 2024   $  

 

The significant decrease in the fair value of derivative liability was mainly due to the all the convertible notes were modified to a fixed price in December 31, 2024. Refer to FN #9 above.

Pursuant to the GBT License Agreement, the Company granted GBT-CR an exclusive worldwide license to use the Digital Currency Technology to make, use, sell, lease or otherwise commercialize and dispose of products and devices utilizing the Digital Currently Technology. Under the terms of the GBT License Agreement, the Company is entitled to receive a royalty payment of 2% of gross revenue of each licensed product sold by GBT-CR during the period starting in which revenue is first generated using the licensed products and continuing for five years thereafter. Upon signing the GBT-CR License Agreement, GBT-CR paid the Company $300,000 which is nonrefundable. The Company recognized the $300,000 as revenue during the years ended December 31, 2018. Upon GBT-CR making available for sale (the “Commercial Event”) an ICO (Initial Coin Offering) (the “Coin”), GBT-CR will make a payment to the Company of $5,000,000. Further, upon the Commercial Event, GBT-CR will grant the Company the ability to acquire 30% of the Coin at a 30% discount of such offering price of the Coin. The GBT License Agreement commenced as of the signing date and, unless terminated in accordance with the termination provisions of the GBT License Agreement, shall remain in force until the expiration of the patent pertaining to the Digital Currency Technology; provided that the right to use trade secrets shall survive the expiration of the GBT License Agreement provided the Company has not terminated.

Stock Loan Receivable

 

On January 8, 2019, the Company entered into a Stock Pledge Agreement with Latin American Exchange Latinex Casa de Cambio, S.A., a Costa Rica corporation (“Latinex”), to provide that Latinex may maintain its required regulatory capital as required by various regulators. The Company pledged 4,006 restricted shares of its common stock valued at $7,610,147 (based on the closing price on the grant date) for three years for an annual payment of $375,000 paid in quarterly installments of $93,750. In lieu of cash payment, Latinex may pay the Company in virtual currency of WISE Network S.A. valued at a 50% discount of its offering price of $10 per token. In the event that Latinex’s required capital has decreased below $5,000,000, Latinex is permitted to sell the pledged shares of common stock only in an amount to ensure that Latinex can satisfy the required capital levels. The Company must consent to such sale of the shares of common stock, which may not be unreasonably withheld. Upon expiration of the agreement, the remaining shares of common stock shall be returned to the Company free and clear of all liens. The Company recorded the value of these shares of common stock as a stock loan receivable which is presented as a contra-equity account in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. At December 31, 2019, the Company wrote off the accrued interest income as Latinex did not perform any payment and the Company has no mean to enforce this payment. Latinex agreed in principle to return the pledged 4,006 restricted shares to the Company for cancellation. The 4,006 restricted shares have not yet been returned to the Company as of December 31, 2024.

 

Accrued Settlement

 

On December 3, 2018, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with Discover Growth Fund, LLC (the “Investor”) pursuant to which the Company issued a Senior Secured Redeemable Convertible Debenture (the “Debenture”) of $8,340,000. In connection with the issuance of the Debenture and pursuant to the terms of the SPA, the Company issued a Common Stock Purchase Warrant to acquire up to 225,000 shares of common stock for a term of three years (the “Warrant”) on a cash-only basis at an exercise price of $100 per share with respect to 50,000 Warrant Shares, $75 with respect to 75,000 Warrant Shares and $50 with respect to 100,000 Warrant Shares. The holder may not exercise any portion of the Warrants to the extent that the holder would own more than 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock immediately after exercise. The outstanding principal amount may be converted at any time into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to 95% of the Market Price less $5 (the conversion price is lowered by 10% upon the occurrence of each Triggering Event – the current conversion price is 75% of the Market Price less $5.00). The Market Price is the average of the 5 lowest individual daily volume weighted average prices during the period the Debenture is outstanding. On May 28, 2019, the Investor delivered to the Company a “Notice of Default and Notice of Sale of Collateral” (the “Notice”). On December 23, 2019, in arbitration between the Company and the Investor, an Interim Award was entered in favor of the Investor. On January 31, 2020, the Company was informed that a final award was entered (the “Final Award”). The Final Award affirms that certain sections of the Debenture constitute unenforceable liquidated damages penalties and were stricken. Further, it was determined that the Investor was entitled to recovery of their attorney’s fees. Consequently, the arbitrator awarded Investor an award of $4,034,444 plus interest of 7.25% accrued from May 15, 2019 and costs of $55,613. On February 18, 2020, the Company filed a motion with the United States District Court District of Nevada (the “Nevada Court”) to confirm the Final Award and a motion to consolidate Investor’s application to confirm the Final Award filed in the U.S. District Court of the Virgin Islands (Case No: 3 :20-cv-00012-CVG-RM) (the “Virgin Island Court”). On February 27, 2020, the Nevada Court denied the Company’s motion to confirm the Final Award and motion to consolidate and further decided that the confirmation of the Final Award should be litigated in the Virgin Island Court. As such, on February 27, 2020, the Company filed a Notice of Entry of Order as well as a Motion to Confirm the Arbitration Award, address the outstanding issues regarding whether Investor’s rights are subordinated to other creditors and, thereafter, oversee a commercially reasonable foreclosure sale (Case No: 3 :20-cv-00012-CVG-RM). It was the Company’s position that the Final Award must first be confirmed and all questions regarding the rights of Investor relative to those of other creditors must be determined before any foreclosure sale can proceed. It is further the position of the Company that the previously disclosed foreclosure sale scheduled by Investor is being conducted in a commercially unreasonable manner and that if Discover proceeded forward with the foreclosure sale it did so at its own risk. Nevertheless, on February 28, 2020, Investor advised that it conducted a sale of the Company’s assets. As the date of this report Investor failed to present a deed of sale for the alleged sale that allegedly took place as noticed. The Company filed with Virgin Island Court the motions disputing the validity of the alleged sale. On July 28, 2020, Investor filed in the State of Nevada a motion for attorneys $48,844 and costs $716. The Company filed an answer on August 11, 2020. On October 16, 2020, Investor motion for attorneys $48,844 and costs $716 was denied. This case is still pending with the Federal court and the Court has not taken any substantive action in the matter as of the date of this report. Based on Discover notice in writing of selling all the Company’s assets, the Company intend to invoice Discover for that sale and offset the settlement amount at the end of the year. On January 25, 2024 Virgin Island Court ordered that Final Award is confirmed.

 

F-31

 

 

As part of its financial review for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the Board of Directors of the Company conducted an assessment of the Company’s Accrued Settlement Liability, a balance originally recorded in 2020 in connection with the arbitration award issued in favor of Discover Growth Fund, LLC (“DGF”). On February 28, 2020, DGF conducted a foreclosure sale of the Company’s assets. However, the Company was not provided with an accounting of the sale or details of the proceeds received by DGF. The Company has maintained its position that the foreclosure sale satisfied the arbitration award in full. Additionally, DGF has not taken any action to enforce collection of the liability since the arbitration award was confirmed by the U.S. District Court for the Virgin Islands on January 25, 2024.

 

Accounting Treatment

 

In accordance with ASC 405-20-40-1 (Liabilities - Extinguishment of Liabilities), a liability should be derecognized when it has been extinguished. Extinguishment occurs when the debtor is legally released from the obligation or when the obligation is otherwise settled. Given that:

 

• The Company’s assets were foreclosed and sold by DGF in 2020;

 

• No further collection efforts have been initiated by DGF;

 

• The Company maintains that the foreclosure sale satisfied the judgment;

 

• The Company does not intend to make any payment toward the liability; and

 

• Carrying the liability indefinitely would misrepresent the Company’s financial position, inflating its balance sheet without a true expectation of payment;

 

The Board of Directors approved the write-off of the remaining Accrued Settlement Liability in the amount of $5,755,400, recognizing it as a gain in the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.

 

Financial Statement Impact

 

As a result of this decision, the Company recognized a $5,755,400 gain on extinguishment of liability, which is included in other income in the consolidated statement of operations. The corresponding reduction in liabilities is reflected in the balance sheet under Accrued Settlement Liabilities, reducing the Company’s total liabilities.

 

Going Concern Consideration

 

The Company continues to operate under going concern uncertainty. This write-off does not impact the Company’s assessment of its financial viability, as its ability to continue operations depends on factors including access to financing and future business performance. However, if any party disputes the Company’s position in the future and initiates collection efforts, the Company will defend its position and disclose any developments accordingly.

Note 15 – Concentrations

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk for the years, consist principally of temporary cash investments. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company assessed the collectability of the note receivable and wrote off the outstanding receivable note balance due from Metalert in total of $46,250.

 

Liquidity risk

 

The Company has an accumulated deficit of $300,992,896 and has a working capital deficit of $15,570,034 as of December 31, 2024, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern as the Company does not have sufficient funds to discharge its current liabilities.

 

Note 16 - Income Taxes

 

At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the significant components of the deferred tax assets are summarized below:

 

               
    December 31,   December 31,
    2024   2023
Deferred income tax asset                
Net operating loss carryforwards   $ 6,736,778     $ 10,216,110  
Total deferred income tax asset     6,736,778       10,216,110  
Less: valuation allowance     (6,736,778 )     (10,216,110 )
Total deferred income tax asset   $     $  

 

The valuation allowance decreased by $3,479,332 and increased by $1,074,366 in 2024 and 2023, respectively, as a result of the Company generating a gain from change in fair value of derivatives and gain from debt modifications.

 

No income tax expense reflected in the consolidated statements of income for the years 2024 and 2023.

The reconciliation of the effective income tax rate to the federal statutory rate for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 is as follows:

 

                               
    2024   2023
    Amount   Percent   Amount   Percent
Federal statutory rates   $ 4,349,165       21.0 %   $ (3,735,296 )     21.0 %
State income taxes     1,656,825       8.0 %     (1,422,970 )     8.0 %
Permanent differences     (2,526,658 )     -12.2 %     4,083,900       -33.5 %
Valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets     (3,479,332 )     -16.8 %     1,074,366       4.5 %
Effective rate   $       %   $       %

 

The Company periodically evaluates the likelihood of the realization of deferred tax assets and adjusts the carrying amount of the deferred tax assets by the valuation allowance to the extent the future realization of the deferred tax assets is not judged to be more likely than not. The Company considers many factors when assessing the likelihood of future realization of its deferred tax assets, including its recent cumulative earnings experience by taxing jurisdiction, expectations of future taxable income or loss, the carryforward periods available to the Company for tax reporting purposes, and other relevant factors.

 

Future changes in the unrecognized tax benefit will have no impact on the effective tax rate due to the existence of the valuation allowance. The Company estimates that the unrecognized tax benefit will not change significantly within the next twelve months. The Company will continue to classify income tax penalties and interest as part of general and administrative expense in its consolidated statements of operations. There were no interest or penalties accrued as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.
