Transaction with the Selling Stockholder

On December 17, 2021 we entered into an equity financing agreement (the “Equity Financing Agreement”) and a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with GHS Investments LLC (“GHS” or the “Selling Stockholder”), pursuant to which GHS shall purchase from us, up to that number of Resale Shares having an aggregate purchase price of up to $10.0 million, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the Equity Financing Agreement from time to time over the course of 24 months after an effective registration of the Resale Shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, is declared effective by the SEC (the “Contract Period”). The Equity Financing Agreement grants us the right, from time to time at its sole discretion (subject to certain conditions) during the Contract Period, to direct GHS to purchase Resale Shares of Common Stock on any business day (a “Put”), provided that at least ten trading days has passed since the most recent Put. The purchase price of the Resale Shares contained in a Put will be 90% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price (VWAP) of our Common Stock during the ten consecutive trading days preceding the receipt by GHS of the applicable Put notice. Such sales of Common Stock by us, if any, may occur from time to time, at our option, during the Contract Period. Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Equity Financing Agreement, on each Put we will deliver an amount of Resale Shares equaling 110% of the dollar amount of each Put. The maximum dollar amount of each Put will not exceed 200% of the average daily trading dollar volume for our Common Stock during the ten trading days preceding the trading day that GHS receives a Put. No Put will be made in an amount equaling less than $10,000 or greater than $500,000. Puts are further limited to GHS owning no more than 4.99% of the outstanding stock of our company at any given time. The Equity Financing Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement contain customary representations, obligations, rights, warranties, agreements and conditions of the parties. The Equity Financing Agreement terminates upon any of the following events: when GHS has purchased an aggregate of $10.0 in the Common Stock of our company pursuant to the Equity Financing Agreement; on the date that is 24 calendar months from the date the Equity Financing Agreement was executed. Actual sales of Resale Shares to GHS under the Equity Financing Agreement will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by us from time to time, including, among others, market conditions, the trading price of the Common Stock and determinations by us as to the appropriate sources of funding for our company and its operations.

As of December 27, 2021, there were 33,200,198 shares of our common stock outstanding excluding the 5,500,000 shares offered that have been issued or may be issuable to GHS pursuant to the Equity Financing Agreement. If all of such 5,500,000 shares of our common stock offered hereby were issued and outstanding as of February 5, 2019the date hereof, such shares would represent approximately 13% of the total common stock outstanding.

Risks Relating to Our Business

 

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 only recently started our operations in our current business in 2015. 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.operations; and
global COVID-19 pandemic

 

If the demand for our services and/or platforms/products offered through our points of sales 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.

 

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 shifted our focus to our real-time, heuristic- (self-learning/artificial intelligence) based mobile technology in 2015 and recently acquired point of sale terminals.  We have a limited operating history and, generated $9.2 million in revenue for the year ended December 31, 2017 and $36.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.  Asas 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.

 

GOPHER PROTOCOL’STHE COVID-19 OUTBREAK HAS CAUSED DISRUPTIONS IN OUR DEVELOPMENT OPERATIONS, WHICH HAVE RESULTED IN DELAYS ON EXISTING PROJECTS AND MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL NEGATIVE IMPACTS ON OUR OPERATIONS

The Company operates in a high-tech marketplace and relies on professionals and partnerships all over the world, which is impacted by the global pandemic, causing the Company’s resources to be affected. Our business operations have been and may continue to be materially and adversely affected by the coronavirus disease COVID-19.

An outbreak of respiratory illness caused by COVID-19 emerged in Wuhan city, Hubei province, PRC, in late 2019 and expanded globally. COVID-19 is considered to be highly contagious and poses a serious public health threat.

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). Since then, other measures have been imposed in other countries and major cities in the USA, including Los Angeles, and throughout the world in an effort to contain the COVID-19 outbreak. The World Health Organization (the “WHO”) is closely monitoring and evaluating the situation. On March 11, 2020, the WHO declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a pandemic, expanding its assessment of the threat beyond the global health emergency it had announced in January. Any outbreak of such epidemic illness or other adverse public health developments in the USA or elsewhere in the world may materially and adversely affect the global economy, our markets and our business. The stay-at-home order was lifted in California only on January 25, 2021.

In the first quarter of 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak caused disruptions in our development operations, which resulted in delays on exiting projects. The State of California and the economy in general has begun to slowly re-open following the introduction of the COVID-19 vaccine. During the fourth quarter of 2021, the omicron variants surfaced and has significantly impacted the United States and globally. However, in the event COVID-19, the omicron variant or other variant is to worsen or again surface any further unforeseen delay in our operations of the development, delivery and assembly process within any of our activities could continue to result in, increased costs and reduced revenue.

We cannot foresee whether the outbreak of COVID-19 and its variants will continue to be effectively contained. If the outbreak of COVID-19 is not effectively and timely controlled, our business operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected as a result of the deteriorating market outlook for sales, the slowdown in regional and national economic growth, weakened liquidity and financial condition of our customers and vendors or other factors that we cannot foresee. Any of these factors and other factors beyond our control could have an adverse effect on the overall business environment, cause uncertainties, cause our business to suffer in ways that we cannot predict and materially and adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

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

 

Gopher ProtocolThe 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 GAPP.GAAP. As such, the Company incurred a net loss amounting to $10,287,290 for the year ended December 31, 2017 and $1,586,226 for the year ended December 31, 2016 and $46,442,467$32,854,195 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.2021 and $17,994,888 for the year ended December 31, 2020. 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 INSIGNIFICANT 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 insignificant positive cash flow for any reporting 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 net losses of $10,287,290 in this fiscal year,$32,854,195 and our operating activities providedused cash flows of $228,711.$958,011 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The Company sustained net losses of $17,994,888 and our operating activities used cash flows of $994,426 for the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company sustained net losses of $186,505,119 and our operating activities used cash flows of $6,623,463 for the year ended December 31, 2019. The Company had a working capital deficit of $1,060,506,$27,710,040, stockholders’ equitydeficit of $4,221,841,$27,858,303 and an accumulated deficit of $14,381,662$270,651,339 at December 31, 2017 and2020. The Company had a working capital deficit of $5,278,748,$21,704,420, stockholders’ equitydeficit of $6,405,431,$28,909,820 and an accumulated deficit of $60,824,129$303,505,534 at September 30, 2018. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is dependent upon its ability to generate revenues and its ability to continue receiving investment capital and loans from third parties to sustain its current level of operations. The Company is in the process of securing working capital from investors for common stock, convertible notes payable, and/or strategic partnerships. No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in these efforts.2021.

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

 

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 may need to engage in equity or debt financings to secure additional funds. We expect that we have sufficient capital to maintain operations through the year of 2021. In order to fully implement our business plan, we will need to raise $10,000,000. 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 Douglas Davis,Michael Murray, our President, Mansour Khatib, our CEO, 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.

A SINGLE STOCKHOLDER HOLDS A CONTROLLING INTEREST IN OUR COMPANY, WHICH COULD LIMIT YOUR ABILITY TO INFLUENCE THE OUTCOME OF ANY STOCKHOLDER VOTE

One shareholder beneficially owns approximately 34% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Under our Certificate of Incorporation and Nevada law, the vote of a majority of the shares outstanding is generally required to approve most stockholder action. As a result, these stockholders will be able to significantly influence the outcome of stockholder votes for the foreseeable future, including votes concerning the election of directors, amendments to our Certificate of Incorporation or proposed mergers or other significant corporate transactions.

 

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 OTCQBOTC PINK under the symbol GOPH.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 yearyears ended December 31, 2017,2020 and December 31, 2019, 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 OTCQBOTC 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 OTCQBOTC PINK marketplace under the ticker symbol “GOPH.”“GTCH” ((prior years under the symbol: “GOPH”). The OTCQBOTC 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 OTCQBOTC 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 OTCQBOTC 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.

 

WeWe plan to reinvest all of our earnings, to the extent we have earnings, in order 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 203,913,33833,200,198 shares of our Common Stock outstanding as of the date of this prospectus, approximately 75,576,74716,457,939 are restricted and 16,742,259 shares are held by “non-affiliates” and 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.

 

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

We are registering for sale 5,500,000 shares that we may sell to GHS under the Equity Financing Agreement. It is anticipated that shares registered in this offering will be sold by GHS over a period of up to approximately 24 months from the date of commencement. The number of shares of common stock that we may sell under the Equity Financing Agreement may exceed 5,500,000 shares, depending on the sales price. Depending upon market liquidity at the time, sales of shares of our common stock under the Purchase Agreement may cause the trading price of our common stock to decline.

 

In order 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.

 

Management will have broad discretion as to the use of any proceeds received under the Purchase Agreement and we may not use the proceeds effectively.

Our management will have broad discretion as to the application of any proceeds received from GHS under the Equity Financing Agreement and could spend the proceeds in ways that do not necessarily improve our operating results or enhance the value of our common stock.

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.

5

 

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 has adopted regulations which generally define a “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 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.

 

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 ;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 adopted 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.

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 has caused disruptions in our development operations, which have resulted in delays on 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 depend upon key personnel and need additional personnel.
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.

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.

Anti-Takeover Provisions Under Nevada Law.

Combinations with Interested Stockholder. Sections 78.411-78.444, inclusive, of the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) contain provisions governing combinations with an interested stockholder. For purposes of the NRS, “combinations” include: (i) any merger or consolidation with any interested stockholder, (ii) any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition to any interested stockholder of corporate assets with an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of the corporation’s consolidated assets, 5% or more of the outstanding shares of the corporation or 10% or more of the earning power or net income of the corporation, (iii) the issuance to any interested stockholder of voting shares (except pursuant to a share dividend or similar proportionate distribution) with an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of all the outstanding shares of the corporation, (iv) the dissolution of the corporation if proposed by or on behalf of any interested stockholder, (v) any reclassification of securities, recapitalization or corporate reorganization that will have the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the corporation’s outstanding voting shares held by any interested stockholder and (vi) any receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit (except proportionately as a stockholder) of any loan, advance, guarantee, pledge or other financial assistance. For purposes of the NRS, an “interested stockholder” is defined to include any beneficial owner of more than 10% of any class of the voting securities of a Nevada corporation and any person who is an affiliate or associate of the corporation and was at any time during the preceding three years the beneficial owner or more than 10% of any class of the voting securities of the Nevada corporation.

Subject to certain exceptions, the provisions of the NRS governing combinations with interested stockholders provide that a Nevada corporation may not engage in a combination with an interested stockholder for two years after the date that the person first became an interested stockholder unless the combination or the transaction by which the person first became an interested stockholder is approved by the board of directors before the person first became an interested stockholder.

Control Share Acquisitions. The NRS also contains a “control share acquisitions statute.” If applicable to a Nevada corporation this statute restricts the voting rights of certain stockholders referred to as “acquiring persons,” that acquire or offer to acquire ownership of a “controlling interest” in the outstanding voting stock of an “issuing corporation.” For purposes of these provisions a “controlling interest” means with certain exceptions the ownership of outstanding voting stock sufficient to enable the acquiring person to exercise one-fifth or more but less than one-third, one-third or more but less than a majority, or a majority or more of all voting power in the election of directors and “issuing corporation” means a Nevada corporation that has 200 or more stockholders of record, at least 100 of whom have addresses in Nevada appearing on the stock ledger of the corporation, and which does business in Nevada directly or through an affiliated corporation. The voting rights of an acquiring person in the affected shares will be restored only if such restoration is approved by the holders of a majority of the voting power of the corporation. The NRS allows a corporation to “opt-out” of the control share acquisitions statute by providing in such corporation’s articles of incorporation or bylaws that the control share acquisitions statute does not apply to the corporation or to an acquisition of a controlling interest specifically by types of existing or future stockholders, whether or not identified.

Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws

No Cumulative Voting. Where cumulative voting is permitted in the election of directors, each share is entitled to as many votes as there are directors to be elected and each shareholder may cast all of its votes for a single director nominee or distribute them among two or more director nominees. Thus, cumulative voting makes it easier for a minority shareholder to elect a director. Our articles of incorporation deny shareholders the right to vote cumulatively.

Authorized But Unissued Shares. Our articles of incorporation permit the board to authorize the issuance of preferred stock, and to designate the rights and preferences of our preferred stock, without obtaining shareholder approval. One of the effects of undesignated preferred stock may be to enable the board to render more difficult or to discourage a third party’s attempt to obtain control of Gopher Protocol by means of a tender offer, proxy contest, merger, or otherwise. The issuance of shares of preferred stock also may discourage a party from making a bid for the common stock because the issuance may adversely affect the rights of the holders of common stock. For example, preferred stock that we issue may rank prior to the timecommon stock as to dividend rights, liquidation preference, or both, may have special voting rights and may be convertible into shares of common stock. Accordingly, the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 underissuance of shares of preferred stock may discourage bids for our common stock or may otherwise adversely affect the Securities Act).market price of our common stock.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

OVERVIEW

 

GBT Technologies Inc. (formally known as Gopher Protocol Inc. (the, the “Company”, “GBT”, “Gopher”, “Gopher Protocol” “GOPH” or “GOPH”“GTCH”) was incorporated on July 22, 2009 under the laws of the State of Nevada. GopherGBT is atargeting growing markets such as development stage company that is creatingof Internet of Things (IoT) and patenting innovative mobile microchip (ICs)Artificial Intelligence (AI) enabled networking and softwaretracking technologies, based on the GopherInsightincluding wireless mesh network technology platform. The Company also offers prepaid cellular phone minutes for both domesticplatform and international carriers. In addition,fixed solutions, development of an intelligent human body vitals device, asset-tracking IoT, and wireless mesh networks. Effective August 5, 2019, the Company offers cellular activation (activating SIM cards with wireless carriers)changed its name from Gopher Protocol Inc. to create additional users (consumers) on those networks and provides check processing, verification and recovery solutions for small to medium sized businesses.GBT Technologies Inc. The Company derived revenues from (i) the provision of IT servicesservices. The Company is seeking to Guardian Patch LLC, a related party (“Guardian LLC”); (ii) from the operations of the assets it acquired in the third quarter of 2017 and the first and second quarters of 2018 that include the sale of phones, phone card products, prepaid cellular phone minutes and cellular activation and (iii)generate revenue from the licensing of its technology.

 

GopherInsight is a patented (with additional patents pending), real time, heuristic (self-learning/artificial intelligence-based) global mesh network and asset tracking IoT technology. GopherInsight chip and software technologies, if successfully fully developed, are designed to be installed in mobile devices (smartphones, tablets, laptops, etc.), autonomous vehicles, robots, drones, consumer products, as well as other fixed and mobile stand-alone products. It is intended that GopherInsight software applications will work in conjunction with GopherInsight microchips across mobile operating systems, providing computing power, advanced database management/sharing functionalities and more. The technology under development consists of a smart microchip, mobile application software and supporting software. The system contemplates the creation of a global mesh network.

The Company is developing a state-of-the-art platform calledGopherInsight™that is targeted to be launched first as a microchip with firmware, then as software, in mobile and fixed devices and locations (including smartphones, tablets, laptops, servers, remote POS points, etc.). GopherInsight will provide a series of software modules including Gopher’s own gNET proprietary mesh network protocol, gEYE multi-level security protocol, and all will be managed by Gopher’s Avant! AI Artificial Intelligence.

GopherInsight’s microchip design and software are primarily intended to be licensed on a private-label basis to strategic technology partners, or Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), that manufacture solutions such as telecommunication systems and data networks, mobile devices, asset tracking systems, and other IoT solutions that relay data and are connected to a network.

The Company intends where possible to market these solutions to OEMs and charge a licensing fee to generate revenue. The Company already has one agreement with an OEM, GBT (Genesis Blockchain Technologies), which is a licensing agreement providing for an initial payment of $5,000,000 and an ongoing revenue share royalty of 2% of revenue.

The Company is targeting three growing markets: prepaid services, asset-tracking IoT, and wireless mesh networks.

Prepaid services

On September 1, 2017, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with a third party, RWJ Advanced Marketing, LLC, a Georgia corporation. The Company entered into this Asset Purchase Agreement to acquire terminals in approximately 9,400 locations by which, and at which, the Company planned to deploy its IOT/asset tracking technology. The operations consist primarily of the sale of phones and phone card products, including PINS for cell minutes, SIM cards for cell minutes, as well as gift cards and prepaid long distance cards. The Company incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary, UGopherServices Corp., to operate the acquired assets. The assets acquired in the purchase consist of (1) racks that contain 9-12 items per rack that are displayed in retail locations, mainly convenience stores; and (2) payment terminals at those same points of sale.

On March 16, 2018, the Company entered into and closed an asset purchase agreement dated March 1, 2018 with ECS Prepaid, LLC (“ECS”), a Missouri limited liability company, pursuant to which the Company purchased certain assets from ECS, including, but not limited to, the processing prepaid platform, servers, POS terminals, customer list, a processing software program and goodwill, in consideration of $1,100,000 of which $100,000 was paid on the Closing Date and the balance is to be paid pursuant to a secured promissory note in the amount of $1,000,000. In addition, the Company issued 500,000 shares of common stock of the Company and warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock that are exercisable for a period of five years at a fixed exercise price of $1.85 per share. The note is secured by the assets acquired by the Company from ECS and the Company is required to make ten equal principal payments of $100,000 commencing on April 15, 2018. The Company may prepay the note at any time without penalty.

On April 2, 2018, the Company entered into and closed an asset purchase agreement with Electronic Check Services, Inc. (“Electronic Check”), a Missouri corporation, pursuant to which the Company purchased certain assets from Electronic Check, including, but not limited to, assets associated with software that validates written check authenticity. The purchase price was $75,000 in cash, and the Company issued 250,000 shares of common stock of the Company and warrants to purchase 250,000 shares of common stock that are exercisable for a period of five years at a fixed exercise price of $2.70 per share.

On April 2, 2018, the Company entered into and closed an asset purchase agreement with Central State Legal Services, Inc. (“CSLS”), a Missouri corporation, pursuant to which the Company purchased certain assets from CSLS, including, but not limited to, assets associated with a system to recover funds from returned checks, for $25,000 in cash.

12

The Company entered into these asset purchase agreements to acquire the software needed to process transactions for its prepaid business, and to acquire additional terminal locations by which the Company will deploy its technology.

Prepaid services products

The racks located at the points of sale contain the following items:

New and refurbished cellular handsets and SIM cards;
Prepaid gift cards;
Prepaid long distance cards; and,
Prepaid wireless cards, for both foreign and domestic calls.

When any of these items are brought to the counter, the customer’s method of payment is swiped into a payment terminal machine. The Company records the revenue from the purchase and the cost of goods sold at the point of sale, and the net is booked as gross profit by the Company. When a customer purchases a gift card, for example, a value is assigned to a digital PIN number which puts a certain value on their gift card, to be redeemed by the purchaser at their convenience.

There are various fees that get added to the cost of the gift card, including commissions and a transaction fee. The transaction fee is split between the store and the Company. The volume of transactions for each customer in a given month varies, with some points of sale more active in certain months than others.

Prepaid services markets

After the acquisition of certain assets from RWJ Marketing Services LLC in September 2017, the majority of the point of sale locations held by UGopherServices Corp. are in the Southeastern US, but the geographic penetration of the locations overall is national.

Prepaid services competition

Given the nature of its business (primarily gift cards, prepaid long distance and wireless calls, and selling handsets and SIM cards), the competitors are numerous, as any company that issues gift cards, such as Starbucks and Best Buy, could potentially compete with the gift cards that the company sells at these points of sale. Competitors that sell prepaid calling and wireless plans are also numerous. Although its competitors do not necessarily sell their gift and calling cards at the same points of sale at which the company sells its goods, they could, though not on the rack that the Company controls that is positioned within the store.

Asset tracking IoT - and Artificial Intelligence (AI) enabled networking (including AI Medical Advisor platform and potential products)

 

The Company plans to launch a series of software and microchip design products that integrate into strategic technology partners’ solutions and enable real-time tracking and management of IoT-connectIoT or connected assets. As

 Through the Joint Venture with Tokenize – It S.A., the parties commenced development of a development of an example,intelligent human vital signs’ device, suggested named 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 patented Guardian Patch solutiontechnology. A provisional patent application for the qTerm 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 sticky adhesive patchstrategic relationship with a third party that has experience in manufacturing, selling and distributing this product. There is placed on an object tono guarantee that the Company will be tracked, and relays the locationsuccessful in any or all of the asset via a mesh network that does not rely on GSM or GPS technology. The Company currently supplies another asset tracking solution, the GuardianORB Pet Tracker, enabling real-time, mesh network, long-distance tracking of pets.

Additionally, GopherInsight allows the tracking and enhanced security of digital assets, including blockchain-based assets.these critical steps.

 

Asset tracking IoT markets

The applications for the Company’s asset tracking solution are vast. Vertical target markets may include  segments such as public sector, healthcare sector, banking financial services and insurance (BFSI) sector, transportArtificial Intelligence (AI) enabled networking (including AI Medical Advisor platform and logistics sector, retail sector, commercial sector, industrial sector, energy & utility sector, manufacturing sector and other sectors. 

Asset tracking IoTpotential products) competition

 

The prevailing AI solutions in the asset tracking marketplace currently are a combination of barcoding and RFID technologies. The Company’s asset tracking solutions offers considerable advantages over existing solutions, because thoseExisting solutions require that the asset is near the scanner to be scanned, andscanned. Further, such existing solutions are “point to point,” meaning they require repeated scan points along a route in order to update the location of the asset. The GopherInsight platform, including the planned and patented Guardian Patch solution, isCompany’s asset tracking solutions are designed to be more accurate and when placed on or into the asset, canhas the ability to interactively locate and update information on an asset anywhere on earth. It works via a Gopher-enabledEarth. Its solutions work through-enabled global mesh network and does not need GPS or GSM to locate the package, and is regularly transmitting information on the asset, meaning that there is no need to frequently re-scan the asset to update its location.package. In addition, the Company’s solutions are planned to include resource and distributed database management features which are not normally found in IoT systems.

There are many competitors supplying AI standalone, and AI asset tracking and asset tracking IoT systems today, including companies such as AT&T, IBM and Verizon.Verizon, as well as Apple which introduce tracking device during 2021. It is Gopher’sCompany’s goal to offer the GopherInsight platform to some or all of these competitors to upgrade and differentiate their solutions.

Wireless mesh networking

 

Wireless mesh networks consist of LAN/MAN/WAN solutions that are infrastructurally-intensive,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 ae 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 Avant!Company’s AI platform is designed for easy integration with, and management of, additional coverage for customer networks.

 

Additionally, the Company will be targeting device manufacturers as strategic technology partners and OEMs. If a mobile phone manufacturer wishes to add GopherInsight to is devices, GopherInsight allows devices to communicate without the need for an internet service provider, thus dramatically reducing costs.

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 infrastructurally-intensive,infrastructural-intensive, while at the same time solving last mile problems to the end user.

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.

UGO Litigation

On or around January 30, 2019, RWJ Advanced Marketing, LLC, Greg Bauer, and Warren Jackson sued the Company and multiple third and related parties in Superior Court of the State of California - County of Los Angeles, General District in connection with the acquisition of certain assets from RWJ Marketing Services LLCUGO in September 20172017. The case number is 19STCV03320 (the “Original Lawsuit”). The complaint in the Original Lawsuit alleges breach of contract, among other causes of action. The Company answered the complaint and ECSfiled a cross-complaint against the plaintiffs in Marchthe case and third parties on or around February 15, 2019. On or about September 10, 2020, the Company through its agent of service was “served” with a complaint (the Company contested service) that was recently filed against the Company and third parties by Robert Warren Jackson and Gregory Bauer in Los Angeles Superior Court Case No.: 20STCV32709 (“Second Lawsuit”). In the Original Lawsuit filed, the court rejected the plaintiff’s claims that they were filing a purported quasi-derivative lawsuit. As such, in this current litigation, the plaintiff is now again claiming the action is a derivative lawsuit. On October 13, 2020, the Second Lawsuit was removed by other defendants into Central District of California (CASE NO. 2:20−cv−09399−RGK−AGR). On February 2, 2021 The Central District of California dismissed the entire Second Lawsuit based on “demand futility”. In the Original lawsuit, the Company filed a cross complaint against the plaintiff and other third parties. Recently, the court has scheduled various hearings and a trial date set for December 27, 2021 which was later continued by the Court to September 28, 2022. It was the Company’s intention to dividend its holdings of its wholly owned subsidiary Ugopherservices Corp. (“UGO”). As UGO is the main dispute in the litigations described above, the Company has elected to sell UGO to a third-party effective July 1, 2020 (See Note 3). On September 17, 2020, the Company terminated Greg Bauer as consultant (resulting from the sale of UGO), which he confirmed in writing. On or about June 14, 2021 the Company stipulated with plaintiff that all third parties will be released and plaintiff may file a new first amendment complaint that will name only the Company. As such, all third parties other than prior transfer agent of the Company have been dismissed from this litigation.

Following the sale of UGO, the Company noticed third parties (including SURG, via its asset manager) to wire the UGO funds to its new bank account. SURG never answered the notice. The Company noticed certain third parties that it intends to take legal actions to resolve this issue. On November 12, 2020 the Company filed a complaint in the United States District Court – District of Nevada - Case 2:20-cv-02078 against RWJ, Mr. Bauer, Mr. Jackson and against W.L. Petrey Wholesale Company Inc for fraud, breach of contract, Unjust Enrichment and other claims.

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 $5.00 (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 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”) in the aggregate face value 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 $100.00 per share with respect to 50,000 Warrant Shares, $75.00 with respect to 75,000 Warrant Shares and $50.00 with respect to 100,000 Warrant Shares.

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 in the amount 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.

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.

ASUAccounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09,, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”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.As sales are and have been primarily from IT services, sale of phones, phone card products, prepaid cellular phone minutes and cellular activation, and the The Company hashad no significant post-delivery obligations, this new standard did notresult in a material recognition of revenue on the Company’s accompanying 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.

 

Revenue from providing IT services, sale of phones, phone card products, prepaid cellular phone minutes and cellular activation services areis recognized under Topic 606 in a manner that reasonably reflects the delivery of its services and products to customers in return for expected consideration and includes the following elements:as follows:

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

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

Sale of phones, phone card products, prepaid cellular phone minutes and cellular activation – revenue is recognized at the time of sale to the customer; and
License fees and Royalties – revenue is recognized based on the terms of the agreement with its customer.

 

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 fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value 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, 2017,September 30, 2021, 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 Measurementsof Financial Instruments

 

The Company appliesFor certain of the provisions ofCompany’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and short-term debt, the carrying amounts approximate their fair values due to their short maturities.

FASB ASC 820-10,Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.”Disclosures, requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. FASB ASC 820-10Topic 825, Financial Instruments, defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value 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 fair values 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.

 

 22

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 areus one or more unobservable andinputs which are significant to the fair value 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 instrumentsinstrument, and are a reasonable estimate of their fair values 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 fair values were determined by using the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model based on various assumptions. The Company’s derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as adjustments to fair value of derivatives.

The Company has not yet adopted any policy regarding payment of dividends. No cash dividends have been paid or declared since the Date of Inception.

In the event the Contingency was not met, the Letter Agreement would be cancelled and rendered null and void. The Company acknowledged that the Company did not meet the Contingency, technically resulting in the cancellation of the Letter Agreement and rendering the Letter Agreement null and void. Moreover, the Company failed to meet its obligations under the Amended and Restated Territorial License Agreement, including the further development of the consumer heuristic technology platform, thereby creating a vacuum in its development in all aspects, including the ability to obtain funding, resulting in the need for Dr. Rittman’s partners to perform the necessary development work related to the above agreements.

Certain private investors will provide all initial funding to the Company via the LLC for product development. The LLC will fund the development, and the Company will provide IT services via Dr. Rittman for a monthly fee. Dr. Rittman has signed an amendment employment agreement with the Company. As the Company is not a member of the LLC, the Company and the LLC have formed a Joint Venture (“JV”) for the purposes of developing and marketing the Patch. The LLC will be responsible for funding the development of the Patch. The Company will not need be required to invest funds in said JV. The Company responsibilities will be limited to the marketing of the product, where the marketing budget will be funded by the LLC. Moreover, the LLC has committed to provide the Company with working capital as needed. The Company has assigned and pledged to the LLC all its license derivative rights as they pertain to the Patch only. Dr. Rittman may be offered membership rights at some point in the future with the LLC, with which the Company is a JV partner, but is not equity member. The Company has agreed with the LLC that the same JV principles of the GPLLC for the patch will apply for the other two products (Epsilon and Puzpix) which will be vested under designated LLCs that will be incorporated by the LLC members.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

OVERVIEW

GBT Technologies Inc. (formally known as Gopher Protocol Inc., the “Company”, “GBT”, “Gopher”, “Gopher Protocol” “GOPH” or “GTCH”) was incorporated on July 22, 2009 under the laws of the State of Nevada. GBT is targeting growing markets such as development of Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) enabled networking and tracking technologies, including wireless mesh network technology platform and fixed solutions, development of an intelligent human body vitals device, asset-tracking IoT, and wireless mesh networks. Effective August 5, 2019, the Company changed its name from Gopher Protocol Inc. to GBT Technologies Inc. The Company derived revenues from the provision of IT services. The Company is seeking to generate revenue from the licensing of its technology.

Asset tracking IoT - and Artificial Intelligence (AI) enabled networking (including AI Medical Advisor platform and potential products)

The Company plans to launch a series of software and microchip design products that integrate into strategic technology partners’ solutions and enable real-time tracking and management of IoT or connected assets.

 Through the Joint Venture with Tokenize – It S.A., the parties commenced development of a development of an intelligent human vital signs’ device, suggested named 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. A provisional patent application for the qTerm 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.

Asset tracking IoT and Artificial Intelligence (AI) enabled networking (including AI Medical Advisor platform and potential products) competition

The prevailing AI solutions in the marketplace currently are a combination of barcoding and RFID technologies. Existing solutions require that the asset is near the scanner to be scanned. Further, such existing solutions are “point to point,” meaning they require repeated scan points along a route in order to update the location of the asset. The Company’s asset tracking solutions are designed to be more accurate and when placed on or into the asset, has the ability to interactively locate and update information on an asset anywhere on Earth. Its solutions work through-enabled global mesh network and does not need GPS or GSM to locate the package. In addition, the Company’s solutions are planned to include resource and distributed database management features which are not normally found in IoT systems. There are many competitors supplying AI standalone, and AI asset tracking and asset tracking IoT systems today, including companies such as AT&T, IBM and Verizon, as well as Apple which introduce tracking device during 2021. It is Company’s goal to offer the GopherInsight platform to some or all of these competitors to upgrade and differentiate their solutions.

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.

Latinex (contra-equity account)

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 has pledged 4,005 restricted shares of its common stock valued at $7,610,147 (based on the closing price on the grant date) for a term of three years in consideration of 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 has 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 principal to return the pledged 4,005 restricted shares to the Company for cancellation. The 4,005 restricted shares have not yet been returned to the Company as of September 30, 2021.

Joint Ventures

GBT Tokenize

On March 6, 2020, the Company through its wholly owned subsidiary, Greenwich International Holdings, a Costa Rica corporation (“Greenwich”), entered into a Joint Venture and Territorial License Agreement (the “Tokenize Agreement”) with Tokenize-It, S.A. (“Tokenize”), which is owned by a Costa Rica Trust represented by Pablo Gonzalez (“Gonzalez”). Gonzalez also represents Gonzalez Costa Rica Trust, which holds a note in the principal amount of $10,000,000 and is also a shareholder of the Company. Under the Tokenize Agreement, the parties formed GBT Tokenize Corp., a Nevada corporation (“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 startups (“Technology Portfolio”), throughout the State of California. Upon generating any revenue from the Technology Portfolio, the Joint Venture will earn the first right of refusal for other territories.

Tokenize shall contribute the services and resources for the development of the Technology Portfolio to GBT Tokenize. The Company shall contribute 2,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company (“GBT Shares”) to GBT Tokenize. Tokenize and the Company will each own 50% of GBT Tokenize.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, Gonzalez assigned all his accrued balances of $424,731 to Stanley Hills in a private transaction that the Company is not part to. The closing of the Tokenize Agreement occurred on March 9, 2020.

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 qTerm 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.

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 September 30, 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.

Although the investment was impaired, the product development is still ongoing. The carrying amount of this investment at September 30, 2021 and December 2020, was $0 and $0, respectively.

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.

The Company pledged its 50% ownership in GBT Tokenize and its 100% ownership of Greenwich to Tokenize to secure its Technology Portfolio investment. The Company shall appoint two directors and Tokenize shall appoint one director of GBT Tokenize.

On September 30, 2021 Tokenize, in an agreement that the Company is not a party to, irrevocably assigned all its rights in GBT Tokenize, including all its rights per the Tokenize Agreement, The Gonzalez Consulting agreement and the pledge agreement, to the benefit of Magic International Argentina FC, S.L a third party (“Magic”). On June 30, 2021 Magic irrevocably assigned to Stanley Hills, LLC its credit balance accrued until June 30,2021 per the consulting agreement.

Regulatory

 GBT Tokenize is seeking approval filing for its qTerm device with the United Stated Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”). The FDA classifies medical devices from Class 1 – 3, each of which must be subjected to robust evaluations and reviews to comply with manufacturing quality control (QC) standards. The FDA regulates the marketing/sale of medical device products in the U.S. and monitors the safety of all regulated medical products. FDA Section 201(h) of the Food, Drug & Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) defines a device as: an instrument, apparatus, implement, machine, contrivance, implant, in vitro reagent, or other similar or related article, including a component part or accessory which is recognized in the official National Formulary, or the United States Pharmacopoeia, or any supplement to them, intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions, or in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease in man or other animals, or intended to affect the structure or any function of the body of man or other animals.

GBT Tokenize engaged M Squared Associates (M2) to assist with developing the FDA premarket strategy for its qTerm device. The process of filing for FDA clearance involves development of a sound regulatory strategy for pathway to market, including required preclinical and performance testing, software verification and validation activities and ensuring user needs are met. In addition, GBT/tokenize will partner with M2 to finalize technical design documentation, device labeling claims and intended use. Other aspects that will be evaluated include manufacturing processes, usability / human factors and the development of valid scientific evidence. The company will work with M2 to develop a detailed description of the device’s software and algorithm training requirements, including design specifications. qTerm computer program will be reviewed for its control functions and other required performance testing plans and criteria according to FDA guidance documentation.

Even though not required by law, there is no guarantee that the Company will be successful in obtaining any regulatory approval. In order to successfully implement this concept, the Company will need to raise adequate capital to support its compliance 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.

The Company is seeking to conduct business with the US government agencies and has 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 United States 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 U.S. 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: Home (gsa.gov).

Intellectual Property

To date, the Company, has filed for different patents covering certain fields of its technologies, as well as trademarks. These patents and trademarks, as well as various websites and social media platforms, comprise the Company’s intellectual properties. On February 27, 2020 GBT Technologies, S.A., as successor in interest to Hermes Roll, LLC had notified the Company that it was in default on its Amended and Restated Territorial License Agreement (“ARTLA”) dated June 15, 2015 and that the ARTLA had been cancelled and rescinded.

On January 31, 2020, in the arbitration titled GBT Technologies Inc. (k/n/a Gopher Protocol, Inc. v. Discover Growth Fund, LLC (“Discover”) (JAMS Ref. No. 1260005395), 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 neither Discover nor John Kirkland, President and General Partner of Discover, were entitled to recovery of their attorney’s fees. Consequently, and consistent with the expectations of the Company, the arbitrator awarded Discover an award of $4,034,444 plus interest of 7.25% accrued from May 15, 2019 and costs in the amount of $55,613.00. 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 Discover’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 issue regarding whether Discover’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 Discover relative to those of other creditors must be determined before any foreclosure sale can proceed. It was further the position of the Company that the previously disclosed foreclosure sale scheduled by Discover 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, Discover 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 March 6, 2020, the Company through its newly acquired wholly owned subsidiary, Greenwich International Holdings, a Costa Rica corporation (“Greenwich”), entered into a Joint Venture and Territorial License Agreement (the “Tokenize Agreement”) with Tokenize-It, S.A. (“Tokenize”) 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 startups (“Technology Portfolio”). Via this Joint Venture the parties commenced development of a development of an intelligent human vital signs’ device, suggested named qTerm. The Joint Venture completed successfully the first prototype.

Employees

As of September 30, 2021, we had 3 full time employees and no part time employees. We also utilize outside consultants and contractors as needed.

Properties

The Company leases its virtual office space at 2450 Colorado Ave., Suite 100E, Santa Monica, CA 90404 on a month-to-month lease for $311 per month. Due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has maintained its address but only as virtual office space with minimum administrative services, while all employees and consultants work remotely.

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.

UGO Litigation

On or around January 30, 2019, RWJ Advanced Marketing, LLC, Greg Bauer, and Warren Jackson sued the Company and multiple third and related parties in Superior Court of the State of California - County of Los Angeles, General District in connection with the acquisition of UGO in September 2017. The case number is 19STCV03320 (the “Original Lawsuit”). The complaint in the Original Lawsuit alleges breach of contract, among other causes of action. The Company answered the complaint and filed a cross-complaint against the plaintiffs in the case and third parties on or around February 15, 2019. On or about September 10, 2020, the Company through its agent of service was “served” with a complaint (the Company contested service) that was recently filed against the Company and third parties by Robert Warren Jackson and Gregory Bauer in Los Angeles Superior Court Case No.: 20STCV32709 (“Second Lawsuit”). In the Original Lawsuit filed, the court rejected the plaintiff’s claims that they were filing a purported quasi-derivative lawsuit. As such, in this current litigation, the plaintiff is now again claiming the action is a derivative lawsuit. On October 13, 2020, the Second Lawsuit was removed by other defendants into Central District of California (CASE NO. 2:20−cv−09399−RGK−AGR). On February 2, 2021 The Central District of California dismissed the entire Second Lawsuit based on “demand futility”. In the Original lawsuit, the Company filed a cross complaint against the plaintiff and other third parties. Recently, the court has scheduled various hearings and a trial date set for December 27, 2021 which was later continued by the Court to September 28, 2022. It was the Company’s intention to dividend its holdings of its wholly owned subsidiary Ugopherservices Corp. (“UGO”). As UGO is the main dispute in the litigations described above, the Company has elected to sell UGO to a third-party effective July 1, 2020 (See Note 3). On September 17, 2020, the Company terminated Greg Bauer as consultant (resulting from the sale of UGO), which he confirmed in writing. On or about June 14, 2021 the Company stipulated with plaintiff that all third parties will be released and plaintiff may file a new first amendment complaint that will name only the Company. As such, all third parties other than prior transfer agent of the Company have been dismissed from this litigation.

Following the sale of UGO, the Company noticed third parties (including SURG, via its asset manager) to wire the UGO funds to its new bank account. SURG never answered the notice. The Company noticed certain third parties that it intends to take legal actions to resolve this issue. On November 12, 2020 the Company filed a complaint in the United States District Court – District of Nevada - Case 2:20-cv-02078 against RWJ, Mr. Bauer, Mr. Jackson and against W.L. Petrey Wholesale Company Inc for fraud, breach of contract, Unjust Enrichment and other claims.

Discover Growth Fund

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”) in the aggregate face value 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 is Empire Stock Transfer, Inc. Its address is 1859 Whitney Mesa Drive, Henderson, NV 89014 and its telephone number is 702-818-5898.

Description of Capital Stock

We have authorized capital stock consisting of 500,000,000Purchase Warrant to acquire up to 225,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.00001 par valuecommon stock for a term of three years (the “Warrant”) on a cash-only basis at an exercise price of $100.00 per share with respect to 50,000 Warrant Shares, $75.00 with respect to 75,000 Warrant Shares and 22,110,000$50.00 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 preferred stock. As of December 31, 2018, there were 182,224,264 shares of our Common Stock, and 45,700 shares of preferred stock outstanding. The Series B Preferred Stock has a stated value of $100 per share and is convertible into the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to 95% of $0.30the Market Price less $5.00 (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 in the amount 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 and costs was denied.

GBT Technologies, S.A.

On September 14, 2018, the Company entered into an Exclusive Intellectual Property License and Royalty Agreement (the “GBT License Agreement”) with GBT-CR, a fully compliant and regulated crypto currency exchange platform that currently operates in Costa Rica as a decentralized crypto currency platform, pursuant to which, among other things, the Company granted to GBT-CR an exclusive, royalty-bearing right and license relating intellectual property relating to systems and methods of converting electronic transmissions into digital currency as reflected in that certain patent filed with the United Stated Patent and Trademark Office on or about June 14, 2018 (EFS ID: 32893586; Application Number: 16008069; Type: Utility under 35 USC 111(a); Confirmation Number: 6787)(collectively, the “Digital Currently Technology”). 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 has 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 in the amount 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. Prior to the signing of the GBT License Agreement, GBT-CR advanced $200,000 to the Company, which the parties have agreed will be applied toward the $5,000,000 fee when it becomes due. The $200,000 was recorded as unearned revenue at December 31, 2018 and reclassified to accrued expense at December 31, 2020 and 2019. On February 27, 2020 GBT Technologies, S.A., as successor in interest to Hermes Roll, LLC had notified the Company that it was in default on its Amended and Restated Territorial License Agreement (“ARTLA”) dated June 15, 2015 and that the ARTLA had been cancelled and rescinded.

Surge Holdings, Inc.

On September 30, 2019, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) with Surge Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“SURG”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell and assign to SURG, all the assets and certain specified liabilities, of its ECS Prepaid, Electronic Check Services and the Central State Legal Services businesses in consideration of $5,000,000 to be paid through the issuance of 3,333,333 shares of SURG’s common stock (the “SURG Common Stock”) and a convertible promissory note in favor of the Company in the principal amount of $4,000,000 (the “SURG Note”), convertible into SURG’s shares of common stock.

On June 23, 2020, SURG entered into an Exchange Agreement (the “AltCorp Exchange Agreement”) with AltCorp Trading LLC (“AltCorp”) with such AltCorp Exchange Agreement being consented and agreed to by the Company, the parent of AltCorp. At the expiration of the lock-up period, in the event the VWAP for the SURG Common Stock was, during the preceding twenty-day trading period, less than $0.50 per share, representing 3,000 posts split (15,000,000 pre-split)AltCorp retained the right to reserve additional shares of SURG Common Stock equal to the True-Up Value as defined in the AltCorp Exchange Agreement.

On January 1, 2021, SURG, AltCorp and Stanley Hills, LLC (“Stanley”) entered into a Mutual Release and Settlement Agreement (“Settlement Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, SURG agreed to amend the AltCorp Exchange Agreement where SURG acknowledged a debt of $3,300,000 (the “Debt”) to be paid in 33 monthly payments of $100,000 payable in shares of common shares. Furthermore,stock of SURG at a per share price equal the volume weighted average price of Surg’s common stock during the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the issuance. The AltCorp assets have been pledged since August 12, 2020 for the benefit of Stanley to secure Stanley’s note payable by the Company. Accordingly, the SURG Common Stock issued to AltCorp as a result of the Settlement Agreement were pledged to Stanley.

Subsequently, SURG was a party to two lawsuits in state District Court, the Eighth Judicial District Court for Clark County, Nevada involving AltCorp, Stanley and Glen Eagles Acquisition LP (the “AltCorp Parties.”). Each of these lawsuits were ultimately disputes relating to the total consideration SURG was to pay the Company under the APA.

On October 18, 2021, the AltCorp Parties, the Company, and SURG entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (the “MOU”) to set up a framework for an attempt to settle the two lawsuits.

On December 22, 2021 (the “Effective Date”), pursuant to the framework in the MOU, the AltCorp Parties (and an additional third party), the Company, ECS, and SURG, Kevin Brian Cox (SURG’s Chief Executive Officer) - in his individual capacity, entered into a Resolution of Purchase, Mutual Release, and Settlement Agreement (the “Final Settlement Agreement”) to settle the two lawsuits and resolve all disputes related to the consideration paid by SURG to the Company in connection with the APA.

The Final Settlement Agreement, among other resolutions, essentially provides the following:

(i) From the total consideration of the Final Settlement Agreement, the amount of $375,000 (“Escrow Amount”) will be deposit by SURG in escrow. SURG has acquired the Company’s rights to a certain Master Distribution and Service Agreement (“MDA”). Under certain circumstances, if the result of the Company’s lawsuit against a third party (the “GBT Lawsuit”) is a monetary judgment without the assignment or legal decree of ownership of the MDA, the Company shall be entitled to receive the Escrow Amount and shall assign to SURG the first $1,000,000 the Company recovers from the defendants in the GBT Lawsuit. In the event that the Company does not prevail in the GBT Lawsuit then it shall be entitled to release of the Escrow Amount but shall be responsible for any fees and costs obligation sought by the defendants in the GBT Lawsuit.

(ii) SURG agreed to make total payments of $4,200,000 to Stanley on or prior to January 7, 2022. This $4.2 million amount consists of $450,000 paid by SURG in November and December 2021, $100,000 to be paid on or about January 4, 2022, and $3,650,000 to be paid on or prior to January 7, 2022 of which $375,000 will be held in escrow as described before.

(iii) Potential payments to third parties.

The Final Settlement Agreement replaces all prior agreements between the parties. In addition, within three (3) trading days of the last payment related to the $4.2 million payment to Stanley being made, the parties shall make filings with the state District Court in Clark County, Nevada to dismiss both lawsuits, including, regarding the lawsuit filed by AltCorp Trading, LLC, the dismissal of the lawsuit as to VStock Transfer, LLC. The parties agreed to a full mutual release of any disputes or claims between the parties.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto, as well as the “Risk Factors” and “Description of Business” sections included elsewhere in this prospectus. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this prospectus, particularly in “Risk Factors.”

General Overview

GBT Technologies Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our”, “GBT”, “Gopher”, “Gopher Protocol”, “GOPH”, “GTCH”, or “GBT”) was incorporated on July 22, 2009 under the laws of the State of Nevada and is headquartered in Santa Monica, California. The Company is targeting growing markets such as development of Internet of Things (“IoT”) and Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) enabled networking and tracking technologies, including wireless mesh network technology platform and fixed solutions, development of an intelligent human body vitals device, asset-tracking IoT, and wireless mesh networks. The Company has historically derived revenues from (i) the provision of IT services; and (ii) from the licensing of its technology.

GBT Tokenize Joint Venture

On March 6, 2020, the Company through Greenwich, entered into a Joint Venture and Territorial License Agreement (the “Tokenize Agreement”) with Tokenize-It, S.A. (“Tokenize”), which is owned by a Costa Rica Trust represented by Pablo Gonzalez (“Gonzalez”). Gonzalez also represents Gonzalez Costa Rica Trust, which holds a note in the principal amount of $10,000,000 and is also a shareholder of the Company. Under the Tokenize Agreement, the parties formed GBT Tokenize Corp., a Nevada corporation (“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 startups (“Technology Portfolio”), throughout the State of California. Upon generating any revenue from the Technology Portfolio, the Joint Venture will earn the first right of refusal for other territories.

Tokenize shall contribute the services and resources for the development of the Technology Portfolio to GBT Tokenize. The Company shall contribute 2,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company (“GBT Shares”) to GBT Tokenize. Tokenize and the Company will each own 50% of GBT Tokenize. The shares were valued at $5,500,000.

In addition, GBT Tokenize and Gonzalez entered into a Consulting Agreement in which Gonzalez is engaged to provide services in consideration of $33,333 per month payable quarterly which may be paid in shares of common stock calculated by the amount owed divided by the Company’s 10-day VWAP. Gonzalez will provide services in connection with the development of the business as well as GBT Tokenize’s capital raising efforts. The term of the Consulting Agreement is two years. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, Gonzalez assigned all his accrued balances of $424,731 to Stanley Hills in a private transaction that the Company is not part to. The closing of the Tokenize Agreement occurred on March 9, 2020.

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 qTerm Medical Device was filed on March 30, 2020 with the USPTO. The application has been assigned serial number 63001564.

COVID-19 Pandemic

The Company operates in a high-tech marketplace and relies on professionals and partnerships all over the world, which is impacted by the global pandemic, causing the Company’s resources to be affected. Our business operations have been and may continue to be materially and adversely affected by the coronavirus disease COVID-19.

An outbreak of respiratory illness caused by COVID-19 emerged in Wuhan city, Hubei province, PRC, in late 2019 and expanded globally. COVID-19 is considered to be highly contagious and poses a serious public health threat.

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). Since then, other measures have been imposed in other countries and major cities in the USA, including Los Angeles, and throughout the world in an effort to contain the COVID-19 outbreak. The World Health Organization (the “WHO”) is closely monitoring and evaluating the situation. On March 11, 2020, the WHO declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a pandemic, expanding its assessment of the threat beyond the global health emergency it had announced in January. Any outbreak of such epidemic illness or other adverse public health developments in the USA or elsewhere in the world may materially and adversely affect the global economy, our markets and our business. The stay-at-home order was lifted in California only on January 25, 2021.

In the first quarter of 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak caused disruptions in our development operations, which resulted in delays on exiting projects. The State of California and the economy in general has begun to slowly re-open following the introduction of the COVID-19 vaccine. However, in the event COVID-19 or other variant is to again surface any further unforeseen delay in our operations of the development, delivery and assembly process within any of our activities could continue to result in, increased costs and reduced revenue.

We cannot foresee whether the outbreak of COVID-19 and its variants will continue to be effectively contained. If the outbreak of COVID-19 is not effectively and timely controlled, our business operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected as a result of the deteriorating market outlook for sales, the slowdown in regional and national economic growth, weakened liquidity and financial condition of our customers and vendors or other factors that we cannot foresee. Any of these factors and other factors beyond our control could have an adverse effect on the overall business environment, cause uncertainties, cause our business to suffer in ways that we cannot predict and materially and adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $958,011, compared to $542,913 during the same period in 2020. Significant differences exist between the periods, including, loss on debt modification, impairment of assets, loss on exchange of assets and amortization of debt discount. Our working capital position improved going from a working capital deficit of $27,710,040 at December 31, 2020 to a working capital deficit of $21,704,420 at September 30, 2021, principally as a result modification of debt terms for a convertible note to extend the due date beyond one year. Cash flows used in investing activities were $0 during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $231,771 for the same period in 2020.

Cash from financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $1,231,636, compared to $967,099 for the same period in 2020. The increase is due to the issuance of convertible notes in 2021.

We sustained net losses of $32,854,195 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. In addition, we had a working capital deficit of $21,704,420 and accumulated deficit of $303,505,534 at September 30, 2021. We have historically financed our operations with proceeds from the sale of convertible notes. There is no guarantee that convertible note financing or other sources of capital will be available to the Company going forward.

In September of 2017 we purchased the assets of RWJ Advanced Marketing, LLC, and then after ECS Prepaid LLC, Electronic Check Services, Inc. and Central States Legal Services, Inc. in 2018. RWJ and ECS have historically generated significant revenues which we do not expect to continue in the future, as the Company divested its investment in ECS Prepaid LLC, Electronic Check Services, Inc. and Central States Legal Services, Inc. on or around September 2019, left only with the acquired assets from RWJ Advanced Marketing, LLC which in litigation, as disclosed in this report. In addition, during the last half of 2018 and the first few months of 2019, the Company has raised approximately $9,500,000 of net proceeds through the issuance of convertible debt and notes payable (see discussion below).

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 to maintain operations through the end of 2021. In order to fully implement our business plan, we will need to raise $10,000,000. The Company will need to raise additional capital in the future of which there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to successfully raise such capital on acceptable terms. With the current cash on hand, cash in our attorney’s trust account and additional cash anticipated to be raised in the future, we believe we will have sufficient cash to meet our obligations for the next 12 months.

Consequently, the arbitrator awarded Investor an award of $4,034,444 plus interest of 7.25% accrued from May 15, 2019 and costs in the amount 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 was denied. As of September 30, 2021, the amount due related to this settlement was $4,090,057.

Since the conversion price will vary based on the Company’s stock price, the beneficial conversion feature associated with this note is accounted for as a derivative liability. In addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default (as defined in the Redstart Note No. 1), the Redstart Note No. 1 shall become immediately due and payable and the Company shall pay to Redstart, in full satisfaction of its obligations hereunder, additional amounts as set forth in the Redstart Note No. 1.

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 hereof, thereof 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 45,000 sharesrecorded 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 Series B Preferred outstandingwhich form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and 700 shares of Series C Preferred outstanding.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.

 

AdditionalWe 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 capital stock is containedaccounting policies and should be read in conjunction with this discussion.

Presentation of Financial Statements

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

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 fair value 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.

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 notresult in a material recognition of revenue on the Company’s accompanying prospectusconsolidated 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.

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 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.

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 fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value 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 September 30, 2021, 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 fair values due to their short maturities.

FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. FASB ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value 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 fair values 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 fair value 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 fair values 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 fair values were determined by using the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model based on various assumptions. The Company’s derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as adjustments to fair value of derivatives.

Dividends

The Company has not yet adopted any policy regarding payment of dividends. No cash dividends have been paid or declared since the Date of Inception.

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 provisions a “controlling interest” means with certain exceptions the ownership of outstanding voting stock sufficient to enable the acquiring person to exercise one-fifth or more but less than one-third, one-third or more but less than a majority, or a majority or more of all voting power in the election of directors and “issuing corporation” means a Nevada corporation that has 200 or more stockholders of record, at least 100 of whom have addresses in Nevada appearing on the stock ledger of the corporation, and which does business in Nevada directly or through an affiliated corporation.

Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws

 

No Cumulative Voting. Where cumulative voting is permitted in the election of directors, each share is entitled to as many votes as there are directors to be elected and each shareholder may cast all of its votes for a single director nominee or distribute them among two or more director nominees. Thus, cumulative voting makes it easier for a minority shareholder to elect a director. Our articles of incorporation deny shareholders the right to vote cumulatively.

Authorized But Unissued Shares. Our articles of incorporation permit the board to authorize the issuance of preferred stock, and to designate the rights and preferences of our preferred stock, without obtaining shareholder approval. One of the effects of undesignated preferred stock may be to enable the board to render more difficult or to discourage a third party’s attempt to obtain control of Gopher Protocol by means of a tender offer, proxy contest, merger, or otherwise. The issuance of shares of preferred stock also may discourage a party from making a bid for the common stock because the issuance may adversely affect the rights of the holders of common stock. For example, preferred stock that we issue may rank prior to the common stock as to dividend rights, liquidation preference, or both, may have special voting rights and may be convertible into shares of common stock. Accordingly, the issuance of shares of preferred stock may discourage bids for our common stock or may otherwise adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

OVERVIEW

GBT Technologies Inc. (formally known as Gopher Protocol Inc., the “Company”, “GBT”, “Gopher”, “Gopher Protocol” “GOPH” or “GTCH”) was incorporated on July 22, 2009 under the laws of the State of Nevada. GBT is targeting growing markets such as development of Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) enabled networking and tracking technologies, including wireless mesh network technology platform and fixed solutions, development of an intelligent human body vitals device, asset-tracking IoT, and wireless mesh networks. Effective August 5, 2019, the Company changed its name from Gopher Protocol Inc. to GBT Technologies Inc. The Company derived revenues from the provision of IT services. The Company is seeking to generate revenue from the licensing of its technology.

Asset tracking IoT - and Artificial Intelligence (AI) enabled networking (including AI Medical Advisor platform and potential products)

The Company plans to launch a series of software and microchip design products that integrate into strategic technology partners’ solutions and enable real-time tracking and management of IoT or connected assets.

 Through the Joint Venture with Tokenize – It S.A., the parties commenced development of a development of an intelligent human vital signs’ device, suggested named 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. A provisional patent application for the qTerm 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.

Asset tracking IoT and Artificial Intelligence (AI) enabled networking (including AI Medical Advisor platform and potential products) competition

The prevailing AI solutions in the marketplace currently are a combination of barcoding and RFID technologies. Existing solutions require that the asset is near the scanner to be scanned. Further, such existing solutions are “point to point,” meaning they require repeated scan points along a route in order to update the location of the asset. The Company’s asset tracking solutions are designed to be more accurate and when placed on or into the asset, has the ability to interactively locate and update information on an asset anywhere on Earth. Its solutions work through-enabled global mesh network and does not need GPS or GSM to locate the package. In addition, the Company’s solutions are planned to include resource and distributed database management features which are not normally found in IoT systems. There are many competitors supplying AI standalone, and AI asset tracking and asset tracking IoT systems today, including companies such as AT&T, IBM and Verizon, as well as Apple which introduce tracking device during 2021. It is Company’s goal to offer the GopherInsight platform to some or all of these competitors to upgrade and differentiate their solutions.

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.

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.

Latinex (contra-equity account)

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 has pledged 4,005 restricted shares of its common stock valued at $7,610,147 (based on the closing price on the grant date) for a term of three years in consideration of 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 has 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 principal to return the pledged 4,005 restricted shares to the Company for cancellation. The 4,005 restricted shares have not yet been returned to the Company as of September 30, 2021.

Joint Ventures

GBT Tokenize

On March 6, 2020, the Company through its wholly owned subsidiary, Greenwich International Holdings, a Costa Rica corporation (“Greenwich”), entered into a Joint Venture and Territorial License Agreement (the “Tokenize Agreement”) with Tokenize-It, S.A. (“Tokenize”), which is owned by a Costa Rica Trust represented by Pablo Gonzalez (“Gonzalez”). Gonzalez also represents Gonzalez Costa Rica Trust, which holds a note in the principal amount of $10,000,000 and is also a shareholder of the Company. Under the Tokenize Agreement, the parties formed GBT Tokenize Corp., a Nevada corporation (“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 startups (“Technology Portfolio”), throughout the State of California. Upon generating any revenue from the Technology Portfolio, the Joint Venture will earn the first right of refusal for other territories.

Tokenize shall contribute the services and resources for the development of the Technology Portfolio to GBT Tokenize. The Company shall contribute 2,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company (“GBT Shares”) to GBT Tokenize. Tokenize and the Company will each own 50% of GBT Tokenize. The shares were valued at $5,500,000.

In addition, GBT Tokenize and Gonzalez entered into a Consulting Agreement in which Gonzalez is engaged to provide services in consideration of $33,333 per month payable quarterly which may be paid in shares of common stock calculated by the amount owed divided by the Company’s 10-day VWAP. Gonzalez will provide services in connection with the development of the business as well as GBT Tokenize’s capital raising efforts. The term of the Consulting Agreement is two years. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, Gonzalez assigned all his accrued balances of $424,731 to Stanley Hills in a private transaction that the Company is not part to. The closing of the Tokenize Agreement occurred on March 9, 2020.

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 qTerm 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.

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 September 30, 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.

Although the investment was impaired, the product development is still ongoing. The carrying amount of this investment at September 30, 2021 and December 2020, was $0 and $0, respectively.

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.

The Company pledged its 50% ownership in GBT Tokenize and its 100% ownership of Greenwich to Tokenize to secure its Technology Portfolio investment. The Company shall appoint two directors and Tokenize shall appoint one director of GBT Tokenize.

On September 30, 2021 Tokenize, in an agreement that the Company is not a party to, irrevocably assigned all its rights in GBT Tokenize, including all its rights per the Tokenize Agreement, The Gonzalez Consulting agreement and the pledge agreement, to the benefit of Magic International Argentina FC, S.L a third party (“Magic”). On June 30, 2021 Magic irrevocably assigned to Stanley Hills, LLC its credit balance accrued until June 30,2021 per the consulting agreement.

Regulatory

 GBT Tokenize is seeking approval filing for its qTerm device with the United Stated Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”). The FDA classifies medical devices from Class 1 – 3, each of which must be subjected to robust evaluations and reviews to comply with manufacturing quality control (QC) standards. The FDA regulates the marketing/sale of medical device products in the U.S. and monitors the safety of all regulated medical products. FDA Section 201(h) of the Food, Drug & Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) defines a device as: an instrument, apparatus, implement, machine, contrivance, implant, in vitro reagent, or other similar or related article, including a component part or accessory which is recognized in the official National Formulary, or the United States Pharmacopoeia, or any supplement to them, intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions, or in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease in man or other animals, or intended to affect the structure or any function of the body of man or other animals.

GBT Tokenize engaged M Squared Associates (M2) to assist with developing the FDA premarket strategy for its qTerm device. The process of filing for FDA clearance involves development of a sound regulatory strategy for pathway to market, including required preclinical and performance testing, software verification and validation activities and ensuring user needs are met. In addition, GBT/tokenize will partner with M2 to finalize technical design documentation, device labeling claims and intended use. Other aspects that will be evaluated include manufacturing processes, usability / human factors and the development of valid scientific evidence. The company will work with M2 to develop a detailed description of the device’s software and algorithm training requirements, including design specifications. qTerm computer program will be reviewed for its control functions and other required performance testing plans and criteria according to FDA guidance documentation.

Even though not required by law, there is no guarantee that the Company will be successful in obtaining any regulatory approval. In order to successfully implement this concept, the Company will need to raise adequate capital to support its compliance 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.

The Company is seeking to conduct business with the US government agencies and has 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 United States 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 U.S. 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: Home (gsa.gov).

Intellectual Property

To date, the Company, has filed for different patents covering certain fields of its technologies, as well as trademarks. These patents and trademarks, as well as various websites and social media platforms, comprise the Company’s intellectual properties. On February 27, 2020 GBT Technologies, S.A., as successor in interest to Hermes Roll, LLC had notified the Company that it was in default on its Amended and Restated Territorial License Agreement (“ARTLA”) dated June 15, 2015 and that the ARTLA had been cancelled and rescinded.

On January 31, 2020, in the arbitration titled GBT Technologies Inc. (k/n/a Gopher Protocol, Inc. v. Discover Growth Fund, LLC (“Discover”) (JAMS Ref. No. 1260005395), 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 neither Discover nor John Kirkland, President and General Partner of Discover, were entitled to recovery of their attorney’s fees. Consequently, and consistent with the expectations of the Company, the arbitrator awarded Discover an award of $4,034,444 plus interest of 7.25% accrued from May 15, 2019 and costs in the amount of $55,613.00. 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 Discover’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 issue regarding whether Discover’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 Discover relative to those of other creditors must be determined before any foreclosure sale can proceed. It was further the position of the Company that the previously disclosed foreclosure sale scheduled by Discover 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, Discover 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 March 6, 2020, the Company through its newly acquired wholly owned subsidiary, Greenwich International Holdings, a Costa Rica corporation (“Greenwich”), entered into a Joint Venture and Territorial License Agreement (the “Tokenize Agreement”) with Tokenize-It, S.A. (“Tokenize”) 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 startups (“Technology Portfolio”). Via this Joint Venture the parties commenced development of a development of an intelligent human vital signs’ device, suggested named qTerm. The Joint Venture completed successfully the first prototype.

Employees

As of September 30, 2021, we had 3 full time employees and no part time employees. We also utilize outside consultants and contractors as needed.

Properties

The Company leases its virtual office space at 2450 Colorado Ave., Suite 100E, Santa Monica, CA 90404 on a month-to-month lease for $311 per month. Due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has maintained its address but only as virtual office space with minimum administrative services, while all employees and consultants work remotely.

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.

UGO Litigation

On or around January 30, 2019, RWJ Advanced Marketing, LLC, Greg Bauer, and Warren Jackson sued the Company and multiple third and related parties in Superior Court of the State of California - County of Los Angeles, General District in connection with the acquisition of UGO in September 2017. The case number is 19STCV03320 (the “Original Lawsuit”). The complaint in the Original Lawsuit alleges breach of contract, among other causes of action. The Company answered the complaint and filed a cross-complaint against the plaintiffs in the case and third parties on or around February 15, 2019. On or about September 10, 2020, the Company through its agent of service was “served” with a complaint (the Company contested service) that was recently filed against the Company and third parties by Robert Warren Jackson and Gregory Bauer in Los Angeles Superior Court Case No.: 20STCV32709 (“Second Lawsuit”). In the Original Lawsuit filed, the court rejected the plaintiff’s claims that they were filing a purported quasi-derivative lawsuit. As such, in this current litigation, the plaintiff is now again claiming the action is a derivative lawsuit. On October 13, 2020, the Second Lawsuit was removed by other defendants into Central District of California (CASE NO. 2:20−cv−09399−RGK−AGR). On February 2, 2021 The Central District of California dismissed the entire Second Lawsuit based on “demand futility”. In the Original lawsuit, the Company filed a cross complaint against the plaintiff and other third parties. Recently, the court has scheduled various hearings and a trial date set for December 27, 2021 which was later continued by the Court to September 28, 2022. It was the Company’s intention to dividend its holdings of its wholly owned subsidiary Ugopherservices Corp. (“UGO”). As UGO is the main dispute in the litigations described above, the Company has elected to sell UGO to a third-party effective July 1, 2020 (See Note 3). On September 17, 2020, the Company terminated Greg Bauer as consultant (resulting from the sale of UGO), which he confirmed in writing. On or about June 14, 2021 the Company stipulated with plaintiff that all third parties will be released and plaintiff may file a new first amendment complaint that will name only the Company. As such, all third parties other than prior transfer agent of the Company have been dismissed from this litigation.

Following the sale of UGO, the Company noticed third parties (including SURG, via its asset manager) to wire the UGO funds to its new bank account. SURG never answered the notice. The Company noticed certain third parties that it intends to take legal actions to resolve this issue. On November 12, 2020 the Company filed a complaint in the United States District Court – District of Nevada - Case 2:20-cv-02078 against RWJ, Mr. Bauer, Mr. Jackson and against W.L. Petrey Wholesale Company Inc for fraud, breach of contract, Unjust Enrichment and other claims.

Discover Growth Fund

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”) in the aggregate face value 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 $100.00 per share with respect to 50,000 Warrant Shares, $75.00 with respect to 75,000 Warrant Shares and $50.00 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 $5.00 (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 in the amount 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 and costs was denied.

GBT Technologies, S.A.

On September 14, 2018, the Company entered into an Exclusive Intellectual Property License and Royalty Agreement (the “GBT License Agreement”) with GBT-CR, a fully compliant and regulated crypto currency exchange platform that currently operates in Costa Rica as a decentralized crypto currency platform, pursuant to which, among other things, the Company granted to GBT-CR an exclusive, royalty-bearing right and license relating intellectual property relating to systems and methods of converting electronic transmissions into digital currency as reflected in that certain patent filed with the United Stated Patent and Trademark Office on or about June 14, 2018 (EFS ID: 32893586; Application Number: 16008069; Type: Utility under 35 USC 111(a); Confirmation Number: 6787)(collectively, the “Digital Currently Technology”). 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 has 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 in the amount 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. Prior to the signing of the GBT License Agreement, GBT-CR advanced $200,000 to the Company, which the parties have agreed will be applied toward the $5,000,000 fee when it becomes due. The $200,000 was recorded as unearned revenue at December 31, 2018 and reclassified to accrued expense at December 31, 2020 and 2019. On February 27, 2020 GBT Technologies, S.A., as successor in interest to Hermes Roll, LLC had notified the Company that it was in default on its Amended and Restated Territorial License Agreement (“ARTLA”) dated June 15, 2015 and that the ARTLA had been cancelled and rescinded.

Surge Holdings, Inc.

On September 30, 2019, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) with Surge Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“SURG”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell and assign to SURG, all the assets and certain specified liabilities, of its ECS Prepaid, Electronic Check Services and the Central State Legal Services businesses in consideration of $5,000,000 to be paid through the issuance of 3,333,333 shares of SURG’s common stock (the “SURG Common Stock”) and a convertible promissory note in favor of the Company in the principal amount of $4,000,000 (the “SURG Note”), convertible into SURG’s shares of common stock.

On June 23, 2020, SURG entered into an Exchange Agreement (the “AltCorp Exchange Agreement”) with AltCorp Trading LLC (“AltCorp”) with such AltCorp Exchange Agreement being consented and agreed to by the Company, the parent of AltCorp. At the expiration of the lock-up period, in the event the VWAP for the SURG Common Stock was, during the preceding twenty-day trading period, less than $0.50 per share, AltCorp retained the right to reserve additional shares of SURG Common Stock equal to the True-Up Value as defined in the AltCorp Exchange Agreement.

On January 1, 2021, SURG, AltCorp and Stanley Hills, LLC (“Stanley”) entered into a Mutual Release and Settlement Agreement (“Settlement Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, SURG agreed to amend the AltCorp Exchange Agreement where SURG acknowledged a debt of $3,300,000 (the “Debt”) to be paid in 33 monthly payments of $100,000 payable in shares of common stock of SURG at a per share price equal the volume weighted average price of Surg’s common stock during the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the issuance. The AltCorp assets have been pledged since August 12, 2020 for the benefit of Stanley to secure Stanley’s note payable by the Company. Accordingly, the SURG Common Stock issued to AltCorp as a result of the Settlement Agreement were pledged to Stanley.

Subsequently, SURG was a party to two lawsuits in state District Court, the Eighth Judicial District Court for Clark County, Nevada involving AltCorp, Stanley and Glen Eagles Acquisition LP (the “AltCorp Parties.”). Each of these lawsuits were ultimately disputes relating to the total consideration SURG was to pay the Company under the APA.

On October 18, 2021, the AltCorp Parties, the Company, and SURG entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (the “MOU”) to set up a framework for an attempt to settle the two lawsuits.

On December 22, 2021 (the “Effective Date”), pursuant to the framework in the MOU, the AltCorp Parties (and an additional third party), the Company, ECS, and SURG, Kevin Brian Cox (SURG’s Chief Executive Officer) - in his individual capacity, entered into a Resolution of Purchase, Mutual Release, and Settlement Agreement (the “Final Settlement Agreement”) to settle the two lawsuits and resolve all disputes related to the consideration paid by SURG to the Company in connection with the APA.

The Final Settlement Agreement, among other resolutions, essentially provides the following:

(i) From the total consideration of the Final Settlement Agreement, the amount of $375,000 (“Escrow Amount”) will be deposit by SURG in escrow. SURG has acquired the Company’s rights to a certain Master Distribution and Service Agreement (“MDA”). Under certain circumstances, if the result of the Company’s lawsuit against a third party (the “GBT Lawsuit”) is a monetary judgment without the assignment or legal decree of ownership of the MDA, the Company shall be entitled to receive the Escrow Amount and shall assign to SURG the first $1,000,000 the Company recovers from the defendants in the GBT Lawsuit. In the event that the Company does not prevail in the GBT Lawsuit then it shall be entitled to release of the Escrow Amount but shall be responsible for any fees and costs obligation sought by the defendants in the GBT Lawsuit.

(ii) SURG agreed to make total payments of $4,200,000 to Stanley on or prior to January 7, 2022. This $4.2 million amount consists of $450,000 paid by SURG in November and December 2021, $100,000 to be paid on or about January 4, 2022, and $3,650,000 to be paid on or prior to January 7, 2022 of which $375,000 will be held in escrow as described before.

(iii) Potential payments to third parties.

The Final Settlement Agreement replaces all prior agreements between the parties. In addition, within three (3) trading days of the last payment related to the $4.2 million payment to Stanley being made, the parties shall make filings with the state District Court in Clark County, Nevada to dismiss both lawsuits, including, regarding the lawsuit filed by AltCorp Trading, LLC, the dismissal of the lawsuit as to VStock Transfer, LLC. The parties agreed to a full mutual release of any disputes or claims between the parties.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto, as well as the “Risk Factors” and “Description of Business” sections included elsewhere in this prospectus. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this prospectus, particularly in “Risk Factors.”

General Overview

GBT Technologies Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our”, “GBT”, “Gopher”, “Gopher Protocol”, “GOPH”, “GTCH”, or “GBT”) was incorporated on July 22, 2009 under the laws of the State of Nevada and is headquartered in Santa Monica, California. The Company is targeting growing markets such as development of Internet of Things (“IoT”) and Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) enabled networking and tracking technologies, including wireless mesh network technology platform and fixed solutions, development of an intelligent human body vitals device, asset-tracking IoT, and wireless mesh networks. The Company has historically derived revenues from (i) the provision of IT services; and (ii) from the licensing of its technology.

GBT Tokenize Joint Venture

On March 6, 2020, the Company through Greenwich, entered into a Joint Venture and Territorial License Agreement (the “Tokenize Agreement”) with Tokenize-It, S.A. (“Tokenize”), which is owned by a Costa Rica Trust represented by Pablo Gonzalez (“Gonzalez”). Gonzalez also represents Gonzalez Costa Rica Trust, which holds a note in the principal amount of $10,000,000 and is also a shareholder of the Company. Under the Tokenize Agreement, the parties formed GBT Tokenize Corp., a Nevada corporation (“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 startups (“Technology Portfolio”), throughout the State of California. Upon generating any revenue from the Technology Portfolio, the Joint Venture will earn the first right of refusal for other territories.

Tokenize shall contribute the services and resources for the development of the Technology Portfolio to GBT Tokenize. The Company shall contribute 2,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company (“GBT Shares”) to GBT Tokenize. Tokenize and the Company will each own 50% of GBT Tokenize. The shares were valued at $5,500,000.

In addition, GBT Tokenize and Gonzalez entered into a Consulting Agreement in which Gonzalez is engaged to provide services in consideration of $33,333 per month payable quarterly which may be paid in shares of common stock calculated by the amount owed divided by the Company’s 10-day VWAP. Gonzalez will provide services in connection with the development of the business as well as GBT Tokenize’s capital raising efforts. The term of the Consulting Agreement is two years. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, Gonzalez assigned all his accrued balances of $424,731 to Stanley Hills in a private transaction that the Company is not part to. The closing of the Tokenize Agreement occurred on March 9, 2020.

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 qTerm 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.

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 September 30, 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.

Although the investment was impaired, the product development is still ongoing. The carrying amount of this investment at September 30, 2021 and December 2020, was $0 and $0, respectively.

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.

The Company pledged its 50% ownership in GBT Tokenize and its 100% ownership of Greenwich to Tokenize to secure its Technology Portfolio investment. The Company shall appoint two directors and Tokenize shall appoint one director of GBT Tokenize.

On September 30, 2021 Tokenize, in an agreement that the Company is not a party to, irrevocably assigned all its rights in GBT Tokenize, including all its rights per the Tokenize Agreement, The Gonzalez Consulting agreement and the pledge agreement, to the benefit of Magic International Argentina FC, S.L a third party (“Magic”). On June 30, 2021 Magic irrevocably assigned to Stanley Hills, LLC its credit balance accrued until June 30,2021 per the consulting agreement.

COVID-19 Pandemic

The Company operates in a high-tech marketplace and relies on professionals and partnerships all over the world, which is impacted by the global pandemic, causing the Company’s resources to be affected. Our business operations have been and may continue to be materially and adversely affected by the coronavirus disease COVID-19.

An outbreak of respiratory illness caused by COVID-19 emerged in Wuhan city, Hubei province, PRC, in late 2019 and expanded globally. COVID-19 is considered to be highly contagious and poses a serious public health threat.

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). Since then, other measures have been imposed in other countries and major cities in the USA, including Los Angeles, and throughout the world in an effort to contain the COVID-19 outbreak. The World Health Organization (the “WHO”) is closely monitoring and evaluating the situation. On March 11, 2020, the WHO declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a pandemic, expanding its assessment of the threat beyond the global health emergency it had announced in January. Any outbreak of such epidemic illness or other adverse public health developments in the USA or elsewhere in the world may materially and adversely affect the global economy, our markets and our business. The stay-at-home order was lifted in California only on January 25, 2021.

In the first quarter of 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak caused disruptions in our development operations, which resulted in delays on exiting projects. The State of California and the economy in general has begun to slowly re-open following the introduction of the COVID-19 vaccine. However, in the event COVID-19 or other variant is to again surface any further unforeseen delay in our operations of the development, delivery and assembly process within any of our activities could continue to result in, increased costs and reduced revenue.

We cannot foresee whether the outbreak of COVID-19 and its variants will continue to be effectively contained. If the outbreak of COVID-19 is not effectively and timely controlled, our business operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected as a result of the deteriorating market outlook for sales, the slowdown in regional and national economic growth, weakened liquidity and financial condition of our customers and vendors or other factors that we cannot foresee. Any of these factors and other factors beyond our control could have an adverse effect on the overall business environment, cause uncertainties, cause our business to suffer in ways that we cannot predict and materially and adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash and restricted cash were $386,659 and $178,016, respectively, at September 30, 2021 and $113,034 and $402,532, respectively, at December 31, 2020. Cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $958,011, compared to $542,913 during the same period in 2020. Significant differences exist between the periods, including, loss on debt modification, impairment of assets, loss on exchange of assets and amortization of debt discount. Our working capital position improved going from a working capital deficit of $27,710,040 at December 31, 2020 to a working capital deficit of $21,704,420 at September 30, 2021, principally as a result modification of debt terms for a convertible note to extend the due date beyond one year. Cash flows used in investing activities were $0 during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $231,771 for the same period in 2020. The decrease is due to cash of discontinued operations in 2020. Cash from financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $1,231,636, compared to $967,099 for the same period in 2020. The increase is due to the issuance of convertible notes in 2021.

We sustained net losses of $32,854,195 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. In addition, we had a working capital deficit of $21,704,420 and accumulated deficit of $303,505,534 at September 30, 2021. We have historically financed our operations with proceeds from the sale of convertible notes. There is no guarantee that convertible note financing or other sources of capital will be available to the Company going forward.

In September of 2017 we purchased the assets of RWJ Advanced Marketing, LLC, and then after ECS Prepaid LLC, Electronic Check Services, Inc. and Central States Legal Services, Inc. in 2018. RWJ and ECS have historically generated significant revenues which we do not expect to continue in the future, as the Company divested its investment in ECS Prepaid LLC, Electronic Check Services, Inc. and Central States Legal Services, Inc. on or around September 2019, left only with the acquired assets from RWJ Advanced Marketing, LLC which in litigation, as disclosed in this report. In addition, during the last half of 2018 and the first few months of 2019, the Company has raised approximately $9,500,000 of net proceeds through the issuance of convertible debt and notes payable (see discussion below).

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 to maintain operations through the end of 2021. In order to fully implement our business plan, we will need to raise $10,000,000. The Company will need to raise additional capital in the future of which there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to successfully raise such capital on acceptable terms. With the current cash on hand, cash in our attorney’s trust account and additional cash anticipated to be raised in the future, we believe we will have sufficient cash to meet our obligations for the next 12 months.

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 $100.00 per share with respect to 50,000 Warrant Shares, $75.00 with respect to 75,000 Warrant Shares and $50.00 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 $5.00 (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 in the amount 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 was denied. As of September 30, 2021, the amount due related to this settlement was $4,090,057.

On February 26, 2020, in order to induce Stanley to continue to provide funding, the Company and Stanley entered into a letter agreement providing that the current note payable balance due to Stanley in the amount of $1,214,900 may be converted into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price equal to 85% multiplied by the lowest one trading price for the common stock during the 20-trading day period ending on the latest complete trading day prior to the conversion date. Since the conversion price will vary based on the Company’s stock price, the beneficial conversion feature associated with this note is accounted for as a derivative liability. Stanley has agreed to restrict its ability to convert the Debt and receive shares of common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by it and its affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, Stanley converted $1,009,468 of its convertible note into 1,550,718 shares of the Company’s common stock, and during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, Stanley loaned the Company an additional $697,386. Also, during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company transferred the SURG shares received as repayment of $800,000 of this convertible note and also converted $126,003 of accrued interest into the principal balance. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, Gonzalez assigned all his accrued balances of $424,731 to Stanley in a private transaction that the Company is not part to (See Note 6). The balance of the Stanley debt at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $448,121 and $1,009,469, respectively. The Stanley debt is secured via a pledge agreement on the SURG shares.

GBT Technologies, S.A.

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 then 25% (and currently less than 20% per GBT-CR further issuance of shares to other parties) of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock from Gonzalez in exchange 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) and 60,000,000 restricted shares of common stock of Mobiquity.

On May 19, 2021, the Company, Gonzalez, GBT-CR and IGOR 1 Corp entered into a Mutual Release and Settlement Agreement and Irrevocable Assignment of outstanding balance plus accrued interest (the “Gonzalez Agreement”). Pursuant to the Gonzalez Agreement, without any party admission of liability and to avoid litigation, the parties has agreed to (i) extend the GBT convertible note maturity date to December 31, 2022, (ii) amend the GBT convertible note terms to include a beneficial ownership blocker of 4.99% and a modified conversion feature to the GBT convertible note with 15% discount to the market price during the 20 trading day period ending on the latest complete trading day prior to the conversion date and (iii) provided for an assignment of the GBT convertible note by Gonzalez to a third party. As a result of the change in terms of this convertible note, the Company took a charge related to the modification of debt of $13,777,480 during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, IGOR 1 converted $1,084,600 of the convertible note into 1,600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Also, on June 24, 2021, the Company transferred 5,500,000 SURG shares received as repayment of $660,000 of this convertible note.

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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

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 fair value 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.

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 notresult in a material recognition of revenue on the Company’s accompanying 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.

Revenue is recognized under Topic 606 as follows:

 35executed 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 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.

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 fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value 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 September 30, 2021, 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 fair values due to their short maturities.

FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. FASB ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value 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 fair values 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 fair value 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 fair values 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 fair values were determined by using the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model based on various assumptions. The Company’s derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as adjustments to fair value of derivatives.

Dividends

The Company has not yet adopted any policy regarding payment of dividends. No cash dividends have been paid or declared since the Date of Inception.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the shareholders and the board of directors of Gopher Protocol, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Gopher Protocol, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2017, 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, 2017, 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.

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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Gopher Protocol, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Gopher Protocol, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2016 and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flow for the year then ended December 31, 2016. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company was not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2016 and the results of its operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and its cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2016 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, these conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of 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 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 financial statements include valuation of derivatives and valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company applies the provisions of ASCFinancial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360,Property, Plant, and Equipment, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. ASC 360 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair values are reduced for the cost of disposal. Based on its review at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2017 and 2016,2020, the Company believes there was no impairment of its long-lived assets.

During July 2021, the note holder made a $50,000 payment on the note, which is recorded as other income in 2017.the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

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 fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses a weighted averageweighted-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 September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2017,2020, 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, and equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, advances to suppliers, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and short-term debt, the carrying amounts approximate their fair values due to their short maturities.

 

FASB ASC Topic 820,Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. FASB ASC Topic 825,Financial Instruments, defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value 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 fair values 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 fair value 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 instrumentsinstrument, and are a reasonable estimate of their fair values 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 fair values were determined by using the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model based on various assumptions. The Company’s derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as adjustments to fair value of derivatives.

 

At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2017,2020, the Company identified the following liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value:

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 has 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 principal to return the pledged 4,005 restricted shares to the Company for cancellation. The 4,005 restricted shares have not yet been returned to the Company as of September 30, 2021.

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.

Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share

 

Earnings per share is calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 260,Earnings Per ShareShare. Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is based on the assumptionassumes 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 loss 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 dilutivepotentially-dilutive shares were excluded from the shares used to calculate diluted earnings per share as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-01,Business Combinations (Topic 805) Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The amendments in this update clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and should be applied prospectively on or after the effective date. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update.

In November 2016,2019, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18,2019-12, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash,Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes which requires restricted cashamends ASC 740 Income Taxes (ASC 740). This update is intended to be presented with cash and cash equivalents on the statement of cash flows and disclosure of how the statement of cash flows reconcilessimplify accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the balance sheet if restricted cash is shown separately from cashgeneral principles in ASC 740 and cash equivalents on the balance sheet.

ASU 2016-16 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update on its financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. ASU 2016-15 provides guidance for targeted changes with respect to how cash receipts and cash payments are classified in the statements of cash flows, with the objective of reducing diversity in practice. ASU 2016-15 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update on its statements of cash flows.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and requires expanded disclosures about leasing arrangements.

ASU 2020-06 reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. For convertible instruments with conversion features that are not required to be accounted for as derivatives under Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital, the embedded conversion features no longer are separated from the host contract. ASU 2020-06 also removes certain conditions that should be considered in the derivatives scope exception evaluation under Subtopic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, and clarify the scope and certain requirements under Subtopic 815-40. In addition, ASU 2020-06 improves the guidance related to the disclosures and earnings-per-share (EPS) for convertible instruments and contract in entity’s own equity.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and state jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2014.

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, 2017 and 2016.

Alpha will hold all intellectual property rights related to software. Currently, three products will be owned by Alpha – the Epsilon software, the Puzpix social game and the Guardian Pack application. The Company and its technology licensing partners, Guardian LLC and Alpha, are preparing to introduce said new products (Epsilon, Guardian Pack & PuzPix) to the market this year, and the Sphere during the second half of fiscal 2017. Certain problems caused by the need to miniaturize both the chip design and the battery caused a delay in the rollout from its planned launch during the first half of the year. The Epsilon product will be presented for time-based license agreements utilizing a designated website on top of customary distributing channels for the product. Epsilon is under confidential evaluation agreement with third party.

In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years 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’s significant operating losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

On March 2, 2018, Gopher Protocol Inc. (the “Company”) entered into and closedstatements based on our audit. We are a Securities Purchase Agreementpublic accounting firm registered with Bellridge Capital, LLCthe Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“Bellridge”) pursuant to which Bellridge invested $750,000 into the Company in consideration of a 10% Convertible Debenture (the “Bellridge Debenture”PCAOB”) and common stock purchase warrants to acquire an aggregate of 500,000 shares of common stock exercisable for a period of five years at an exercise price of $2.35 per share. The Bellridge Debenture bears interest of 10% and is payable March 1, 2019. The Bellridge Debenture is convertible into shares of common stock at $0.90 per share subject to antidilution protection. During an event of default, the conversion price in effect on any conversion date means, as of any conversion date or other date of determination, shall be 35% of the lowest trading price for the Company’s common stock during the 20 trading Days immediately preceding the delivery of a notice of conversion. Bellridge has agreed to restrict its ability to convert the Bellridge Debenture or exercise its Common Stock Purchase Warrants and receive shares of common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by it and its affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock. On or about May 2, 2018, at the election of Bellridge, Bellridge may acquire an additional Bellridge Debenture in the principal amount of $750,000 and a Common Stock Purchase Warrant on the terms of the initial closing.

On March 2, 2018, the Company delivered 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock to an escrow agent. The 1,000,000 escrow shares are required to be utilized for the purpose of limited price protection. If, beginning on the 7th  monthly anniversary of the issuance of the 1,000,000 escrow shares, Bellridge has sold shares issuable upon conversion of the Bellridge Debenture at a sales price of less than $1.10 per share, then that number of shares shall be released from escrowindependent with respect to Bellridge as a limited make whole using the following formula:

(($1.00 – closing price on 1st  day of each monthly anniversary beginning on the 1st  day of the 7th  month (and continuing monthly until all shares are sold)/closing price of the 1st  monthly day in question)* number of shares sold at a price less than $1.10.

As long as the Company is not in default of the Bellridge Debenture or in breach of the Securities Purchase Agreement, at any time during which Bellridge owns the Bellridge Debenture, Bellridge commits to limit in the aggregate all sales of the shares of common stock issued upon conversion of the Bellridge Debenture and the related Common Stock Purchase Warrant to the greater of not more than (i) 10.00% of the daily trading volume for the Company’s common stock as reported for that day or (ii) $35,000. Breach of this leak-out provision will be considered a material breach by Bellridge.

As of the date hereof, the Company is obligated on the Bellridge Debenture in the principal amount of $750,000 in connection with the offering. The Bellridge Debenture is a debt obligation arising other than in the ordinary course of business, which constitutes a direct financial obligation of the Company.

The offer and sale of securities listed above were made to an accredited investor and the Company relied upon the exemptions contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated there under with regard to those sales.

The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management, are necessary to fairly state the Company’s financial position, the results of its operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally present in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America were omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the year ending December 31, 2018.

GopherInsight is a patented (with additional patents pending), real time, heuristic (self-learning/artificial intelligence based) global mesh network and asset tracking IoT technology. GopherInsight chip and software technologies, if successfully fully developed, are designed to be installed in mobile devices (smartphones, tablets, laptops, etc.), autonomous vehicles, robots, drones, consumer products, as well as other fixed and mobile stand-alone products. It is intended that GopherInsight software applications will work in conjunction with GopherInsight microchips across mobile operating systems, providing computing power, advanced database management/sharing functionalities and more. The technology under development consists of a smart microchip, mobile application software and supporting software. The system contemplates the creation of a global mesh network.

On March 29, 2016, the Company contributed all of its rights relating to its proprietary microchip that is within a sticky patch package (the “Patch”) to Guardian LLC in consideration of 50% of the profit generated by Guardian LLC and a commitment from Guardian LLC that it is responsible for investing all needed funds for the purpose of developing the Patch and related products to the Patch, as well as funding the working capital needs of the Company. On September 25, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with Guardian LLC pursuant to which the Company purchased Guardian LLC’s 50% interest previously entered between the parties in March 2016 covering the Guardian Patch, Puzpix and Epsilon. In consideration, the Company issued Guardian 12,500,000 shares of common stock.

On April 2, 2018, the Company entered into and closed an asset purchase agreement with Central State Legal Services Inc.

Basis of Presentation

 

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

 

Stock Split

On August 5, 2019, the Company effectuated a 1 for 100 reverse stock split. The share and per share information has been retroactively restated to reflect this reverse stock split.

Going Concern 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $270,651,339 and has a working capital deficit of $27,710,040 as of December 31, 2020, 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 consolidated financial statements 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 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of 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 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 financial statements include useful lives of property and equipment, useful lives of intangible assets, valuation of beneficial conversion feature debt discounts, valuation of derivatives and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

Cash Equivalents

The accounts receivable balances are generally collected within 10 days of the product sale and the Company has minimal bad debts. The Company currently does not provide an allowance for doubtful collections, which is based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information, and existing economic conditions. Normal receivable terms vary from 7-30 days after the issuance of the invoice and typically would be considered past due when the term expires. Delinquent receivables are written off based on individual credit evaluation and specific circumstances of the customer.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred; additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method for substantially all assets with estimated lives as follows:

Furniture7 years
Computers and equipment3 years
POSA machines3 years

Long-Lived Assets

The Company applies the provisions of ASCFinancial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360,Property, Plant, and Equipment, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. ASC 360 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair values are reduced for the cost of disposal. Based on its review at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017,2020 and 2019, the Company believes there was no impairment of its long-lived assets.

 

Intangible AssetsMarketable Equity Securities

The Company accounts for marketable equity securities in accordance with ASC Topic 321, Investments – equity securities. Marketable equity securities are reported at fair value 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.

 

The Company’s intangible assets were acquiredNote Receivable

Note receivable consists of a promissory note received in connection with the acquisitionsale of certain RWJ assets in 2017,Ugopherservices (see Notes 3, 4 and the acquisition of certain ECS, Electronic Check and CSLS assets in 2018 are being amortized over 60-120 months.17). The Company performs a test for impairment annually. As of September 30, 2018 andnote is due on December 31, 2017, the Company performed the required impairment analysis.2021 and accrues interest at 6% per annum. At September 30, 2018,December 31, 2020, the Company determined that the intangible assets associated with the acquisition of certain RWJ assetsthis note receivable was impairednot collectible and took aan impairment charge to earnings of $5,916,667.$100,000.

 

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the underlying book value of the net assets of the businesses that were acquired. Under accounting requirements, goodwill is not amortized, but is subject to annual impairment tests. The Company recorded goodwill of $950,619 related to its acquisition of certain RWJ assets in 2017, and $646,291, $254,586 and $25,000, respectively, related to its acquisition of certain ECS, Electronic Check and CSLS assets in 2018. At September 30, 2018, the Company determined that the goodwill associated with the acquisition of certain RWJ assets was impaired and took a charge to earnings of $950,619.

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 fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value 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 September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017,2020, 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. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the convertible notes with embedded conversion features were settled; therefore, there was no derivative liability at December 31, 2019.

FASB ASC Topic 820,Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. FASB ASC Topic 825,Financial Instruments, defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value 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 fair values 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 fair value 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 fair values 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 fair values were determined by using the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model based on various assumptions. The Company’s derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as adjustments to fair value of derivatives.

 

At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017,2020 and 2019, the Company identified the following liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value:

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

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.

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 is based on the assumptionassumes 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 loss 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.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers.  ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive revenue recognition standard that will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP and replace it with a principle-based approach for determining revenue recognition.  ASU 2014-09 will require that companies recognize revenue based on the value of transferred goods or services as they occur in the contract.  The ASU also will require additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract.  ASU 2014-09 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017.   Early adoption is permitted only in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods therein.  Entities will be able to transition to the standard either retrospectively or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption.  The Company adopted this ASU beginning on January 1, 2018 and used the modified retrospective method of adoption. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

The Company accounted for its investment in GBT-CR using the equity method of accounting; however, in 2020, the Company owned less than 20% of and 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. As such, the Company was unable to access or to contact GBT-CR on an on-going basis, and cannot get information about GBT-CR.

At December 31, 2019, the Company evaluated the carrying amount of this equity investment and determined that this investment was fully impaired and as a result an impairment charge of $30,731,534 was taken.

The Board of Directors of the Company approved, on April 13, 2020, a reverse stock split of all of the Company’s Common Stock, pursuant to which every 50 shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be reverse split, reconstituted and converted into one (1) share of Common Stock of the Company (the “Reverse Stock Split”).

Since this reverse stock split has not yet been approved by the State of Nevada, the financial statements have not been retroactively restated to reflect this reverse stock split.

The reconciliation of the effective income tax rate to the federal statutory rate for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 is as follows:

  2020 2019
  Amount Percent Amount Percent
         
Federal statutory rates $(3,757,564)  21.0% $(39,166,075)  21.0%

Valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets  808,722   -4.5%  1,606,154   -0.9%
Effective rate $-   0.0% $-   0.0%

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, 2020 and 2019.

Eagle Equities

On December 29, 2017, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Eagle Equities, LLC (“Eagle”) pursuant to which Eagle agreed to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for a purchase price of $1,500,000 or $0.75 per share. The closing occurred on December 29, 2017 with respect to the funding of $1,000,000 resulting in the issuance of 1,333,334 shares of common stock (the “First Closing Shares”). On March 21, 2018, Eagle purchased an additional 666,666 shares of common stock (the “Second Closing Shares”) for a purchase price of $500,000 that been wired into the Company’s bank account.

The Company placed 2,000,000 (1,333,334 on prior closing on December 29, 2017 and additional 666,666 on this current closing) shares of common stock (the “Escrow Shares”) in escrow to be utilized for the purpose of limited price protection. If, beginning on the seventh month anniversary of the issuance of the First Closing Shares and Second Closing Shares if the second closing occurs, Eagle has sold any of the First Closing Shares or the Second Closing Shares as the case may be at a sales price of less than $0.72 per share, then that number of Escrow Shares shall be released from escrow to Eagle as a limited make whole which shall be determined by using the following formula:

($0.72 – Closing Price) / Closing Price) * number of shares sold at a price less than $0.72.

Closing Price is price on the first day of each monthly anniversary beginning on the first day of the 7th month (and continuing monthly until the earlier of January 31, 2019 or until all shares are sold).

The Company shall deposit an additional 2,000,000 shares of common stock into escrow which shares shall only be released to Eagle, if, prior to January 31, 2019 (while Eagle continues to hold shares), the Company issues shares at an issue price of less than $0.30 per share.

The Company also issued Eagle a Common Stock Purchase Warrant to acquire 666,666 shares of common stock exercisable for three years at an exercise price of $2.00 per share (the “Eagle Warrant”). Unless otherwise agreed in writing by both the Company and Eagle, at no time will Eagle exercise any amount of the Eagle Warrant to purchase common stock that would result in Eagle owning more than 9.9% of the common stock outstanding of the Company. The Eagle Warrant contains standard anti-dilution protections.

On September 13, 2017, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Eagle pursuant to which the Company issued Eagle two convertible notes. The first note, due September 18, 2018 in the principal amount of $50,000 (“Eagle Equities Note 1”), was issued in exchange for $50,000 in cash. The second note, due September 13, 2018 in the principal amount of $50,000 (“Eagle Equities Note 2” and, together with Eagle Equities Note 1, the “Eagle Equities Notes”), was issued in exchange for a full-recourse, collateralized promissory note from Eagle Equities in the amount of $45,000 (“Eagle Equities Payment Note”). The Eagle Equities Payment Note is due on May 13, 2018, unless the Company does not meet the current public information requirement pursuant to Rule 144, in which case both Eagle Equities Note 2 and the Eagle Equities Payment Note may be cancelled. The Eagle Equities Payment Note is secured by the Eagle Equities Note 1. The above financing closed on September 20, 2017. On December 29, 2017, Eagle converted the Eagle Equities Note 1 into 503,726 shares of common stock.

Upon any of its securities being available for resale under Rule 144 as promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, Eagle shall limit its sales with regard to any shares of common stock it owns to the greater of $10,000 in gross sales per day or 10% of the aggregate trading volume per day.

Bellridge

On March 1, 2018, the Company entered into and closed a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Bellridge Agreement”) with Bellridge Capital, LP (“Bellridge”) pursuant to which Bellridge invested $750,000 into the Company in consideration of a 10% Convertible Debenture (the “First Bellridge Debenture”) and common stock purchase warrants to acquire an aggregate of 500,000 shares of common stock exercisable for a period of five years at an exercise price of $2.35 per share (the “First Bellridge Warrant”). The Bellridge Agreement provided that Bellridge was entitled to acquire an additional 10% Convertible Debenture in the principal amount of $750,000 and a Common Stock Purchase Warrant on the terms of the initial closing (“Bellridge Option”).

On April 9, 2018, Bellridge elected to exercise the Bellridge Option, as such the Company and Bellridge closed the second financing as contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement entered with Bellridge pursuant to which Bellridge invested an additional $750,000 into the Company in consideration of a 10% Convertible Debenture (the “Second Bellridge Debenture” and together with the First Bellridge Debenture, the “Bellridge Debenture”) and common stock purchase warrants to acquire an aggregate of 500,000 shares of common stock exercisable for a period of five years at an exercise price of $2.35 per share (the “Second Bellridge Warrant” and together with the First Bellridge Warrant, the “Bellridge Warrant”) The Bellridge Debenture bears interest of 10% and is payable one year from issuance. The First Bellridge Debenture and the Second Bellridge Debenture are convertible into shares of common stock at $0.90 per share and $1.00 per share, respectively, subject to limited antidilution protection.

II-2

During an event of default, the conversion price for the Bellridge Debenture in effect on any conversion date means, as of any conversion date or other date of determination, shall be 35% of the lowest trading price for the Company’s common stock during the 20 trading Days immediately preceding the delivery of a notice of conversion. Bellridge has agreed to restrict its ability to convert the Bellridge Debenture or exercise the Bellridge Warrant and receive shares of common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by it and its affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock.

In connection with both closings, the Company delivered 1,000,000 shares of common stock to an escrow agent. The escrow shares are to be utilized for the purpose of limited price protection. If, beginning on the 7th monthly anniversary of the issuance of the escrow shares, Bellridge has sold shares issuable upon conversion of the Bellridge Debenture at a sales price of less than $1.10 per share, then that number of shares shall be released from escrow to Bellridge as a limited make whole using the following formula:

(($1.00 – closing price on 1st day of each monthly anniversary beginning on the 1st day of the 7th month (and continuing monthly until all shares are sold) / closing price of the 1st monthly day in question) * number of shares sold at a price less than $1.10.

As long as the Company is not in default of the Bellridge Debenture or in breach of the Securities Purchase Agreement, at any time during which Bellridge owns the Bellridge Debenture, Bellridge commits to limit in the aggregate all sales of the shares of common stock issued upon conversion of the Bellridge Debenture and the related Common Stock Purchase Warrant to the greater of not more than (i) 10.00% of the daily trading volume for the Company’s common stock as reported for that day or (ii) $35,000. Breach of this leak-out provision will be considered a material breach by Bellridge.

As of the date hereof, the Company is obligated on the Bellridge Debenture in the principal amount of $1,500,000 in connection with the offering. The Bellridge Debenture is a debt obligation arising other than in the ordinary course of business, which constitutes a direct financial obligation of the Company. Other than the Bellridge Debentures, the Company does not have any other convertible debt on its balance sheet.

[ITEM 17. UndertakingsUNDERTAKINGS.

 

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

 

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.

 

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

Provided, however, that:

 

Paragraphs (1)(i), (1)(ii) and (1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

 

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

II-13
 II-9

 

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

 

(i) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

 

(ii) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

 

(5) If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

 

(6) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(7) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
