Forward-looking Statements

Statements in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation, as well as in certain other parts of this Annual report on Form 10-K (as well as information included in oral statements or other written statements made or to be made by Global Arena) that look forward in time, are forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, expectations, predictions, and assumptions and other statements which are other than statements of historical facts. Although Global Arena believes such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that any forward-looking statements will prove to be correct. Such forward-looking statements are subject to, and are qualified by, known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by those statements. These risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to Global Arena’s ability to estimate the impact of competition and of industry consolidation and risks, uncertainties and other factors set forth in Global Arena’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including without limitation to this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Global Arena undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this Form 10-K.

Critical Accounting Policies

Global Arena Holding’s financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management's applications of accounting policies. Critical accounting policies for the registrant include the revenue recognition, cash and cash equivalents and derivative financial instruments.

Revenue Recognition

Global Arena Holding earns revenues through various services it provides to its clients. Advisory fees are on a contractual basis with the fee stipulated in the contract and are recognized based on the terms of the contract during the period service is provided. Customer security transactions and the related commission income and expense are recorded as of the trade date. Global Arena Holding generally acts as an agent in executing customer orders to buy or sell listed and over-the-counter securities in which it does not make a market, and charges commissions based on the services Global Arena provides to its customers.

Derivative Financial Instruments

In connection with the issuance of certain warrants that include price protection reset provisions. Global Arena Holding determined that the exercise price reset provision feature is an embedded derivative instrument pursuant to ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging.”

The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that Global Arena Holding record the related warrants at their fair values as of the inception date of the financial instrument and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value was recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense for each reporting period at each balance sheet date. Global Arena Holding reassesses the classification at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

Global Arena Holding has not entered into any other financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties.

Global Arena Holding does not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB and the SEC did not have, or are not believed by management to have, a material impact on Global Arena Holding's present or future consolidated financial statements.

Trends and Uncertainties

Global Arena is a financial services firm that services the financial community through its subsidiaries. Demand for Global Arena's services are dependent on general economic conditions, which are cyclical in nature. Because a major portion of Global Arena’s activities are the receipt of revenues from financial services, our business operations may be adversely affected by competition, prolonged recessionary periods and other economic and political situations.

There are no other known trends, events or uncertainties that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material impact on our short term or long term liquidity. Sources of liquidity will come from the sale of our services, as well as the private sale of our stock and the issuance of debt. There are no material commitments for capital expenditure at this time. There are no trends, events or uncertainties that have had or are reasonably expected to have a material impact on the net sales or revenues or income from continuing operations. There are no significant elements of income or loss that do not arise from Global Arena’s continuing operations. There are no other known causes for any material changes from period to period in one or more line items of our financial statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the year ended December 31, 2011, Global Arena Holding reduced its escrow deposit – restricted cash balance by $325,259, resulting in net cash provided by investing activities of $325,259.

Comparatively, during the year ended December 31, 2010, Global Arena Holding made an investment in GACC of $50,000 and an escrow deposit - restricted cash of $325,872 resulting in net cash used in investing activities of $375,872.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, Global Arena received proceeds from the exercise of warrants of $340,000 and proceeds from the issuance of common stock and warrants of $350,000. We also received proceeds from convertible promissory notes of $809,515 and spent $25,000 on the repayment of a convertible promissory note. We advanced $399,583 to affiliates, resulting in net cash provided by financing activities of $1,074,932 for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Comparatively, for the year ended December 31, 2010, we received proceeds from the issuance of common stock and warrants of $1,215,000. We spent $255,000 to repurchase common stock, and received $246,407 as an advance from affiliates. As a result, we had net cash provided by financing activities of $1,206,407 for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Global Arena Holding has an expense sharing agreement with GACC whereby GACC pays certain general and administrative expenses on behalf of the Global Arena Holding and its operating subsidiaries. During the year ended December 31, 2011 and the year ended December 31, 2010, Global Arena Holding reimbursed GACC $246,000 and $443,000, respectively.

Global Arena Holding has a month-to-month agreement with Broadsword, an affiliated company, whereby Broadsword provides office space to Global Arena Holding. During the year ended December 31, 2011 and the year ended December 31, 2010, Global Arena was charged $132,000 and $126,000, respectively, for office space

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, Global Arena Holding has incurred losses of $2,554,490 and $803,600 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and a working capital deficiency which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Management believes that it will be successful in obtaining additional financing, from which the proceeds will be primarily used to execute its operating plan. Global Arena Holding plans to use its available cash to continue the development and execution of its business plan and expand its client base and services. However, Global Arena Holding cannot give assurances that such financing will be available or on terms advantageous to Global Arena Holding, or at all. Should Global Arena Holding not be successful in obtaining the necessary financing to fund its operations, Global Arena Holding would need to curtail certain or all of its operational activities.

The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to ultimately attain profitable operations, generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations, and obtain additional financing as may be required. Our auditors have included a “going concern” qualification in their auditors’ report dated April 30, 2012. Such a “going concern” qualification may make it more difficult for us to raise funds when needed. The outcome of this uncertainty cannot be assured.

The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. There can be no assurance that management will be successful in implementing its business plan or that the successful implementation of such business plan will actually improve Global Arena’s operating results.

Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2011 compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2010.

Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2011 consisted of investment advisory fees of $834,153 and commissions and other of $15,092 resulting in total revenues of $849,245. Comparatively for the year ended December 31, 2010, revenues consisted of investment advisory fees of $836,146 and commissions and other of $16,814. The decrease is primarily attributable to slightly reduced assets under management.

For the year ended December 31, 2011, we paid commissions of $643,661 and paid salaries and benefits of $535,437. We had occupancy expenses of $141,555, business development expenses of 209,406, and paid professional fees of $552,464. We paid $19,588 for clearing and operations and $25,053 for communication and data. We paid $14,182 in regulatory fees, and had office and other expenses of $243,220. As a result, we had total operating expenses of $2,384,566 for the year ended December 31, 2011, resulting in a net loss from operations of $1,535,321.

Comparatively, for the year ended December 31, 2010, we paid commissions of $641,239 and paid salaries and benefits of $567,075. We had occupancy expenses of $141,610, business development expenses of 155,902, and paid professional fees of $127,029. We paid $36,806 for clearing and operations and $11,940 for communication and data. We paid $13,838 in regulatory fees, and had office and other expenses of $39,635. As a result, we had total operating expenses of $1,735,074 for the year ended December 31, 2010, resulting in a net loss from operations of $882,114.

This increase is primarily attributable to increased professional fees and for increase office and other expenses as a result of the increased operations and expenditures spent on developing Global Arena’s businesses.

There was a loss on the fair value of a derivative liability for the year ended December 31, 2011 of $564,100 compared to $0 for the year ended December 31, 2010.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Global Arena Holding Inc. and Subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Global Arena Holding Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficiency), and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2011. 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 is not required, nor have we been 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 presentations. 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 Global Arena Holding Inc. and Subsidiaries at December 31, 2011, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011 have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses since inception, experiences a deficiency of cash flow from operations and has a stockholders’ deficiency. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Global Arena Holding Subsidiary Corp.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Global Arena Holding Subsidiary Corp. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2010. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

In our opinion, consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Global Arena Holding Subsidiary Corp. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company incurred a loss from operations of approximately $882,000. The cash used in operations was approximately $811,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010. 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 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2011 AND 2010

1. ORGANIZATION

Description of the Business

Global Arena Holding Inc. (formerly, “Global Arena Holding Subsidiary Corp.”) (“GAHI”), was formed in February 2009, in the state of Delaware. The Company is a financial services firm that services the financial community through its subsidiaries as follows:

Global Arena Investment Management LLC (“GAIM”) provides investment advisory services to its clients. GAIM is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as an investment advisor and clears all of its business through Fidelity Advisors (“Fidelity”), its correspondent broker. Global Arena Commodities Corp. (“GACOM”) provides commodities brokerage services and earns commissions. Global Arena Trading Advisors, LLC (“GATA”) provides futures advisory services and earns fees. GATA is registered with the National Futures Association (NFA) as a commodities trading advisor. Lillybell Entertainment, LLC (“Lillybell”) provides finance services to the entertainment industry.

Reverse Merger Transaction

On January 19, 2011, China Stationery and Office Supply, Inc. (“China Stationery”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with the Company. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective date of the Merger, the Company merged with and into China Stationery, with China Stationery continuing as the surviving corporation with the new name of Global Arena Holding, Inc.

The approval of China Stationery’s board of directors and the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding common stock entitled to vote were obtained in order to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement. China Stationery’s sole director approved the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement at a meeting of their board of directors on January 19, 2011.

Immediately following the execution of the Merger Agreement, and as a condition and inducement to the willingness of the Company to enter into the Merger Agreement, certain shareholders, who held, as of the date of the Merger Agreement, a majority of the issued and outstanding common shares entitled to vote on the adoption of the Merger Agreement, executed and delivered to the Company a written consent approving the transactions contemplated thereby.

As a result, no further action by any other China Stationery stockholder was required in connection with the adoption of the Merger Agreement.

At the effective date of the Merger on May 18, 2011, each share of GAHI’s common stock, was cancelled and converted automatically into 1.5 common shares of China Stationery for an aggregate of 18,000,000 common shares of China Stationery and was recorded as a recapitalization of China Stationery. The consolidated financial statements are issued under the name of Global Arena Holding, Inc. (formerly, China Stationery, the legal acquirer), but are a continuation of the consolidated financial statements of Global Arena Holding Subsidiary Corp. and its subsidiaries (the accounting acquirers, collectively, the “Company”). The effect of the recapitalization was applied retroactively to the prior year’s consolidated financial statements as if the current structure existed since inception of the periods presented.

Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has generated recurring losses and cash flow deficits from operations since February 24, 2009 (inception) and has a stockholders’ deficiency. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The continued operations of the Company are dependent upon its ability to raise additional capital, obtain additional financing and/or generate positive cash flows from operations. Management believes that it will be successful in obtaining additional financing, from which the proceeds will be primarily used to execute its operating plan. The Company plans to use its available cash to continue the development and execution of its business plan and expand its client base and services. However, the Company can give no assurance that such financing will be available or on terms advantageous to the Company, or at all. Should the Company not be successful in obtaining the necessary financing to fund its operations and ultimately achieve adequate profitability and cash flows from operations, the Company would need to curtail certain or all of its operating activities.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Change of Reporting Entity and Basis of Accounting and Presentation

The reverse acquisition described in Note 1 was treated as recapitalization of the Company. SEC Manual Item 2.6.5.4 “Reverse Acquisitions” requires that “in a reverse acquisition, the historical shareholder’s equity of the accounting acquirer prior to the merger is retroactively reclassified for the equivalent number of shares received in the merger after giving effect to any difference in par value of the registrant’s and the accounting acquirer’s stock by an offset to additional paid-in capital.”

Therefore, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared as if Global Arena Holding Subsidiary Corp. and its subsidiaries had always been the reporting company and then on the reverse acquisition date, had changed its name and reorganized its capital stock.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include the accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiaries and majority owned subsidiaries, GAHI, GAIM, GACOM, GATA and Lillybell. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenue recognition policies comply with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 104. The Company earns revenues through various services it provides to its clients. Advisory fees are on a contractual basis with the fee stipulated in the contract and are recognized based on the terms of the contract during the period the service is provided. Customer security transactions and the related commission income and expense are recorded as of the trade date. The Company generally acts as an agent in executing customer orders to buy or sell listed and over-the-counter securities in which it does not make a market, and charges commissions based on the services the Company provides to its customers.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” defines fair value as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The fair value should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all demand and time deposits and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, in connection with private placement offerings, the Company had a cash escrow balance of approximately $600 and $326,000, respectively. Accordingly, these amounts have been included as restricted cash.

Due from Clearing Organization

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, amounts due from the clearing organization consisted primarily of cash deposits in accordance with the clearing arrangement.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from three to five years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred; costs of major additions and betterments that extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the costs and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss on disposal is recognized.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company assesses the recoverability of its long lived assets when there are indications that the assets might be impaired. When evaluating assets for potential impairment, the Company first compares the carrying amount of the asset to the asset’s estimated future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges). If the estimated future cash flows used in this analysis are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss calculation is prepared. The impairment loss calculation compares the carrying amount of the asset to the asset’s estimated future cash flows (discounted and with interest charges).

If the carrying amount exceeds the asset’s estimated futures cash flows (discounted and with interest charges), the loss is allocated to the long-lived assets of the group on a pro rata basis using the relative carrying amounts of those assets. Based on its assessments, the Company did not incur any impairment charges for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

Convertible Debt

Convertible debt is accounted for under FASB ASC 470, “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options.” The Company records a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) related to the issuance of convertible debt that have conversion features at fixed or adjustable rates that are in-the-money when issued and records the fair value of warrants issued with those instruments. The BCF for the convertible instruments is recognized and measured by allocating a portion of the proceeds to warrants and as a reduction to the carrying amount of the convertible instrument equal to the intrinsic value of the conversion features, both of which are credited to additional paid-in-capital. The Company calculates the fair value of warrants issued with the convertible instruments using the Black-Scholes valuation method, using the same assumptions used for valuing stock options, except that the contractual life of the warrant is used. Under these guidelines, the Company allocates the value of the proceeds received from a convertible debt transaction between the conversion feature and any other detachable instruments (such as warrants) on a relative fair value basis. The allocated fair value is recorded as a debt discount and is accreted over the expected term of the convertible debt as interest expense.

The Company accounts for modifications of its Embedded Conversion Features (ECF’s) in accordance with the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 06-6 which requires the modification of a convertible debt instrument that changes the fair value of an embedded conversion feature and the subsequent recognition of interest expense or the associated debt instrument when the modification does not result in a debt extinguishment pursuant to EITF 96-19, “Debtor’s Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments.”

Derivative Financial Instruments

In connection with the issuance of certain warrants that include price protection reset provisions, the Company determined that the exercise price reset provision feature is an embedded derivative instrument pursuant to FASB ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging.”

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs, which are included in business development expenses, were deemed to be de minimus for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of ASC 740 “Income Taxes.” FASB ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. FASB ASC 740 additionally requires the establishment of a valuation allowance to reflect the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets.

Stock-Based Compensation

The fair value of stock options issued to third party consultants is recorded in accordance with the measurement and recognition criteria of FASB ASC 505-50, “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees” and is valued using the Black-Scholes valuation method, which was developed for use in estimating the value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are freely transferable. This model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables. These subjective variables include, but are not limited to the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected stock option exercise behaviors.

Because the Company’s stock options have characteristics different from those of its traded stock, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of such stock options.

Noncontrolling Interests

The Company accounts for its less than 100% interest in consolidated subsidiaries in accordance with FASB ASC 810, “Consolidation,” and accordingly the Company presents noncontrolling interests as a component of equity on its consolidated balance sheets and reports noncontrolling interests’ net income or loss under the heading “net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests” in the consolidated statements of operations.

Reclassification

Certain accounts in the prior year’s financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the presentation in the current year’s financial statements. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported earnings.

3. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In April 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-02, “A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring” (ASU 2011-02), an update to ASC 310 “Receivables.” ASU 2011-02 provides guidance in evaluating whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. In order to meet the requirements for a troubled debt restructuring, a creditor must separately conclude that both the restructuring constitutes a concession and the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties.

The amendments clarify the guidance on a creditor’s evaluation of whether it has granted a concession and also clarify the guidance on a creditor’s evaluation of whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. ASU 2011-02 is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011 and has to be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the annual period of adoption. The Company does not believe that this new pronouncement will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S.GAAP and IFRSs” (“ASU No. 2011-04”) that provides clarification about the application of existing fair value measurements and disclosure requirements and expands certain other disclosure requirements. ASU No. 2011-04 amends U.S. GAAP to provide common fair value measurements and disclosure requirements with International Financial Reporting Standards. The amendments in this ASU are effective prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, with no early adoption permitted. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (“ASU No. 2011-05”) that improves the comparability, consistency, and transparency of financial reporting and increases the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income by eliminating the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. ASU No. 2011-05 requires that all nonowner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both methods, the entity is required to present on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statement(s) where the component of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented. ASU No. 2011-05 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011 and is to be applied retrospectively, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, “Testing Goodwill for Impairment” (“ASU No. 2011-08”) that permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the required annual goodwill impairment test. ASU No. 2011-08 is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011; however, early adoption is permitted. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (“ASU No. 2011-11”). The amendments in this ASU require an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. An entity is required to apply the amendments for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. An entity should provide the disclosures required by those amendments retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. The Company does not expect that the adoption of ASU No. 2011-11 will have a significant, if any, impact on its consolidated financial statements.

4. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

The Company computes net income (loss) per common share in accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share” (“ASC 260”) and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98 (“SAB 98”). Under the provisions of ASC 260 and SAB 98, basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the amount available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share includes the effect of dilutive common stock equivalents from the assumed exercise of options, warrants, convertible preferred stock and convertible notes. The Company’s common stock equivalents were excluded in the computation of net (loss) per share since their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. These common stock equivalents may dilute future earnings per share. Total shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants and conversion of convertible promissory notes for years ended December 31, were as follows:


	2011	2010
Warrants	4,242,989	3,864,750
Convertible debts	2,361,613	-
Common stock equivalents	6,604,602	3,864,750

On July 27, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire a customer list from an unaffiliated entity, under which the Company paid $217,000 for the acquisition. The Company capitalized the acquisition cost of $217,000 and determined the estimated useful life of the customer list to be approximately four years. The customer list is tested for impairment based on undiscounted cash flows and, if impaired, written down to fair value based on either discounted cash flows or appraised values. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company evaluated and determined that the customer list was impaired and accordingly, wrote down the customer list to zero. Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 was approximately $140,145 (including the write down) and $54,000, respectively.

6. INVESTMENT

The investment made in GACC is accounted for under the cost method of accounting because the Company does not hold a significant or controlling interest in this entity.

7. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

In October 2010, in connection with a subscription agreement, the Company issued 2,231,250 warrants to an investor (see Note 11). The warrants have a term of three years. Per the terms of the subscription agreement, in the event the Company, at any time while all or any portion of these warrants is outstanding, sells any shares of common stock per share, or issue common stock equivalents at a conversion price, less than the warrant exercise price, the warrant price will be adjusted accordingly. In accordance with the provisions of ASC 815-40, these warrants are subject to derivative accounting treatment under ASC 815-10 and are recorded as a liability which is revalued at fair value each reporting date. Any change in fair value was recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense for each reporting period at each balance sheet date. The Company reassesses the classification at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification. The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation method to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates, which approximates the fair value measured using Binomial Lattice Model. Weighted average assumptions used to estimate fair values are as follows:


	Issuance	December 31, 2011	December 31, 2010
Expected volatility	100%	150%	100%
Risk free interest rate	0.73% to 1.03%	0.25%	0.73% to 1.03%
Expected life (years)	3	1.88	3

For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recognized a change in derivative liability of $564,100 and $0 in other expense related to the warrant derivative instruments.

8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

FASB ASC 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based upon whether the inputs to those valuation techniques reflect assumptions other market participants would use based upon market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs). In accordance with FASB ASC 820, the following summarizes the fair value hierarchy:

Level 1 Inputs – Unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets and liabilities in an active market that the Company has the ability to access.

Level 2 Inputs – Inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 Inputs – Inputs based on prices or valuation techniques that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurements.

ASC 820 requires the use of observable market data, when available, in making fair value measurements. When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurements. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company’s assessment of the significance of particular inputs to these fair measurements requires judgment and considers factors specific to each asset or liability.

Cash, due from clearing organization, other receivables, advances to registered representatives and employees, accounts payable and accrued expenses, advances payable – The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for these items are a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Investment – Investment is recorded at cost.

The carrying amount approximated fair value.

Convertible promissory notes payable – Convertible promissory notes payable is recorded at amortized cost. The carrying amount approximated fair value.

Derivative financial instruments – The fair value liabilities for warrants with dilutive price reset provisions have been recorded as determined utilizing Black-Scholes valuation method.

The following table presents the Company’s assets and liabilities required to be reflected within the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2011 and 2010.


2011	Level 1	Level 2	Level 3	Total
Derivative financial instruments - warrants	$ -	$ -	$714,200	$714,200

2010	Level 1	Level 2	Level 3	Total
Derivative financial instruments - warrants	$ -	$ -	$343,000	$343,000

The following table presents the Level 3 reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs for notes receivable:


Balance, January 1, 2010		$ -
Fair value of new warrants issued		343,000
Fair value of warrants exercised		-
Change in fair value included in other (income) loss		-

13. RELATED PARTIES

The Company has an expense sharing agreement with GACC whereby GACC pays certain general and administrative expenses on behalf of the Company and its operating subsidiaries. During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company reimbursed GACC approximately $246,000 and $443,000, respectively.

The Company has a month-to-month agreement with Broad Sword Holdings, LLC, one of the Company’s stockholders, whereby Broad Sword Holdings, LLC provides office space to the Company. During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company was charged approximately $132,000 and $126,000, respectively, for office space.

Other receivable – related party represents advances to Broad Sword Holdings, LLC. Those advances are non-interest bearing and payable on demand. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the receivable was approximately $468,000 and $ 63,000 , respectively.

14. INCOME TAXES

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had approximately $4,000,000 and $1,440,000, respectively, of federal net operating loss carryforwards available to offset future taxable income. These net operating losses which, if not utilized, begin expiring in 2029. In accordance with Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, deductibility of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards may be subject to an annual limitation in the event of a change of control.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of operating loss and or tax credit carryforwards and temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences representing net future deductible amounts become deductible.

FASB ASC 740 requires that a valuation allowance be established when it is “more likely than not” that all, or a portion of, deferred tax assets will not be realized. A review of all available positive and negative evidence needs to be considered, including a company’s performance, the market environment in which the company operates, the length of carryback and carryforward periods, and expectations of future profits, etc. The Company believes that significant uncertainty exists with respect to the future realization of the deferred tax assets and has therefore established a valuation allowance for the full amount as of December 31, 2011 and 2010. The change in the deferred tax valuation allowance increased by approximately $981,000 and $348,000 during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The Company evaluated the provisions of FASB ASC 740 related to the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. FASB ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Differences between tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and the benefit recognized and measured pursuant to the interpretation are referred to as “unrecognized benefits.” A liability is recognized (or amount of net operating loss carryforward or amount of tax refundable is reduced) for an unrecognized tax benefit because it represents an enterprise’s potential future obligation to the taxing authority for a tax position that was not recognized as a result of applying the provisions of FASB ASC 740.

Interest costs related to unrecognized tax benefits are required to be calculated (if applicable) and would be classified as “interest expense, net” in the statement of operations. Penalties would be recognized as a component of “general and administrative expenses.” No interest or penalties were recorded during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, no liability for unrecognized tax benefits was required to be reported. The Company does not expect any significant changes in its unrecognized tax benefits in the next 12 months.

The Company’s uncertain tax positions are related to tax years that remain subject to examination by relevant tax authorities. The Company files income tax returns in the United States (federal) and in primarily New York. The Company is no longer subject to federal, state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2008.

The components of deferred tax assets (liabilities) at December 31, 2011 and 2010 are as follows:


		2011		2010

Net operating losses	$	1,576,000	$	576,000
Amortization of customer list		-		19,000
Less valuation allowance		(1,576,000)		(595,000)

Net deferred tax assets	$	-	$	-

15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation

The Company may be involved in legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties, and outcomes are not predictable with assurance.

On October 12, 2011, Harry Friedman filed a complaint with the Nassau County Court, State of New York, Index Number 11-014606 against the Company, as a shareholder of GACC, Josh Winkler, as an officer of GACC and JSM Capital Holding Corp. and Broad Sword Holdings, LLC, as majority shareholders of GACC. The complaint seeks a recovery on several counts resulting from the purported wrongful termination of Plaintiff and lack of Notice by Global Arena Capital Corp. The Company is of the opinion that the charges alleged in the complaint are without merit and will be discounted or dismissed against the Company. However, the Company cannot provide assurance that the outcome of this matter will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

Indemnification

The Company is engaged in providing a broad range of investment services to a diverse group of retail and institutional clientele. Counterparties to the Company’s business activities include broker-dealers and clearing organizations, banks and other financial institutions. The Company uses clearing brokers to process transactions and maintain customer accounts on a fee basis, and the Company permits the clearing firms to extend credit to its clientele secured by cash and securities in the client’s account. The Company’s exposure to credit risk associated with the non-performance by its customers and counterparties in fulfilling their contractual obligations can be directly impacted by volatile or illiquid trading markets, which may impair the ability of customers and counterparties to satisfy their obligations to the Company. The Company has agreed to indemnify the clearing brokers on a limited basis for losses it incurs while extending credit to the Company’s clients.

It is the Company’s policy to review, as necessary, the credit standing of its customers and each counterparty. Amounts due from customers that are considered uncollectible by the clearing broker are charged back to the Company by the clearing broker when such amounts become determinable. Upon notification of a charge back, such amounts, in total or in part, are then either (i) collected from the customers, (ii) charged to the broker initiating the transaction, and/or (iii) charged as an expense in the accompanying statement of operations, based on the particular facts and circumstances.

The maximum potential amount for future payments that the Company could be required to pay under this indemnification cannot be estimated. However, the Company believes that it is unlikely it will have to make any material payments under these arrangements and has not recorded any contingent liability in the consolidated financial statements for this indemnification.

16. REVENUE CONCENTRATIONS

The Company considers significant revenue concentrations to be clients or brokers who account for 10% or more of the total revenues generated by the Company during the period. The Company had three brokers who accounted for 82% of total revenues, which included revenues from a single customer that accounted for 13% of total revenues, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company had three brokers who accounted for 81% of total revenues, which included revenues from a single customer that accounted for 14% of total revenues.

17. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On January 23, 2012, the Company sold and issued a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $50,000 at a stated interest rate of 12% per annum. The convertible note originally matured on March 12, 2012 and was extended to May 30, 2012. The holder of the note is entitled to convert all or a portion of the convertible note plus any unpaid interest, at the lender’s sole option, into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.35 per share.

On February 29, 2012, the Company sold and issued a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $35,000 at a stated interest rate of 12% per annum. In addition the Company granted warrants to purchase 70,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.45 per share. The warrants have a life of 5 years and were fully vested on the date of the grant. The convertible note originally matured on matures on April 14, 2012 and was extended to May 30, 2012. The holder of the note is entitled to convert all or a portion of the convertible note plus any unpaid interest, at the lender’s sole option, into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.45 per share.

On March 15, 2012, the Company sold and issued a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $80,000 at a stated interest rate of 8% per annum. In addition, the Company granted warrants to purchase 160,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.45 per share. The warrants have a life of 5 years and were fully vested on the date of the grant. The convertible note matures on matures on March 15, 2013. The holder of the note is entitled to convert all or a portion of the convertible note plus any unpaid interest, at the lender’s sole option, into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.30 per share.

In addition, the Company granted warrants to purchase 140,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.45 per share.

The holder of the note is entitled to convert all or a portion of the convertible note plus any unpaid interest, at the lender’s sole option, into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.30 per share.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

None

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Controls and Procedures.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of December 31, 2011. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded such controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2011 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In connection with the December 31, 2011 audit of our consolidated financial statements, our independent auditors identified significant deficiencies that together constitute a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. These significant deficiencies primarily relate to our lack of a sophisticated financial reporting system. The accounting department constituted of one Officer and one Controller, and, therefore, we have relied heavily on entity or management review controls to lessen the issue of segregation of duties. Upon receiving adequate financing the Company plans to increase its controls in these areas by hiring more employees in financial reporting, and establishing an audit committee. These significant deficiencies together constitute a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. The design of any system of controls is also based in part on certain assumptions regarding the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Given these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there is only reasonable assurance that our controls will succeed in achieving their stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Important Considerations:

The effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting is subject to various inherent limitations, including cost limitations, judgments used in decision making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the soundness of our systems, the possibility of human error, and the risk of fraud. Moreover, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions and the risk that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate over time. Because of these limitations, there can be no assurance that any system of disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will be successful in preventing all errors or fraud or in making all material information known in a timely manner to the appropriate levels of management.

Committees of the Board of Directors

We do not have standing audit, nominating or compensation committees, or committees performing similar functions. Our board of directors believes that it is not necessary to have standing audit, nominating or compensation committees at this time because the functions of such committees are adequately performed by our board of directors.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, an officer, director, or greater-than-10% shareholder of the registrant must file a Form 4 reporting the acquisition or disposition of registrant's equity securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission no later than the end of the second business day after the day the transaction occurred unless certain exceptions apply. Transactions not reported on Form 4 must be reported on Form 5 within 45 days after the end of the registrant's fiscal year. Such persons must also file initial reports of ownership on Form 3 upon becoming an officer, director, or greater-than-10% shareholder. To our knowledge, based solely on a review of the copies of these reports furnished to it, the officers, directors, and greater than 10% beneficial owners complied with all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements during 2011.

Code of Ethics Policy

During July 2008, we adopted a code of ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller or persons performing similar functions.

Corporate Governance

There have been no changes in any state law or other procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to our board of directors. In addition to having no nominating committee for this purpose, we currently have no specific audit committee and no audit committee financial expert. Based on the fact that our current business affairs are simple, any such committees are excessive and beyond the scope of our business and needs.

Indemnification

The Company shall indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by, and in the manner permissible under the laws of the State of Delaware, any person made, or threatened to be made, a party to an action or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the Company, or served any other enterprise as director, officer or employee at the request of the Company.

The board of directors, in its discretion, shall have the power on behalf of the Company to indemnify any person, other than a director or officer, made a party to any action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he/she is or was an employee of the registrant.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant, 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 Act 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 proceedings) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in connection with any 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issues.

INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS OR PERSONS CONTROLLING THE REGISTRANT FOR LIABILITIES ARISING UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, IS HELD TO BE AGAINST PUBLIC POLICY BY THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION AND IS THEREFORE UNENFORCEABLE.
