EXPLANATORY NOTE

On May 11, 2020, GBT Technologies Inc. (the “Company”, “We”, “GBT”, or “Our”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Form 8-K”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) indicating its reliance on the 45-day extension provided by an order issued by the Commission under Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) entitled Granting Exemptions from Specified Provisions of the Exchange Act and Certain Rules Thereunder, dated March 4, 2020 (Release No. 34-88318), as modified and superseded by a new Commission order under Section 36 of the Exchange Act entitled Modifying Exemptions from the Reporting and Proxy Delivery Requirements for Public Companies, dated March 25, 2020 (Release No. 34-88465) (collectively, the “Order”). Specifically, the Company disclosed that it was unable to timely prepare and review the Quarterly Report due to circumstances related to COVID-19, including that the Company’s headquarters is located in California. 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. All individuals living in the State of California are currently ordered to stay home or at their place of residence, leaving only for permitted work, local shopping related to open sectors, healthcare, food, personal exercise and local outdoor recreation. This has resulted in disruptions to work, communications, and access to files (due to limited access to facilities). These circumstances have impacted the Company’s ability to ensure information required to be disclosed in its reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Therefore, due to COVID-19’s interference in the Company’s operations, the Company was unable to file the Original Form 10-Q on or prior to the original due date for the report. Consistent with the Company’s statements made in the Form 8-K, this Quarterly Report for the three months ended March 31, 2020, has been filed on June 26, 2020 (which was within the permitted timeframe of the Order).

Note 1 - Organization and Basis of Presentation

Organization and Line of Business

GBT Technologies Inc. (formerly Gopher Protocol Inc.) (the “Company”, “GBT”, “GTCH”) was incorporated on July 22, 2009 under the laws of the State of Nevada. 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, prepaid services, 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 also offers prepaid cellular phone minutes for both domestic and international carriers. In addition, the Company offers cellular activation (activating SIM cards with wireless carriers) to create additional users (consumers) on those networks and provides check processing, verification and recovery solutions for small to medium sized businesses. The Company derived revenues from (i) the provision of IT services; (ii) from the operations of the assets that include the sale of phones, phone card products, prepaid cellular phone minutes and cellular activation and (iii) from the licensing of its technology.

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

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared by the Company, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”). 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 three months ended March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the year ending December 31, 2020.

Basis of Presentation  

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

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. (Also see Note 16 for a proposed 1 for 50 stock split awaiting appeal)

Going Concern 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $262,664,291 and has a working capital deficit of $14,786,154 as of March 31, 2020, and is in default on a note payable and other obligations, 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 condensed 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, valuation of beneficial conversion feature, debt discounts, valuation of derivatives, and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, UGopherServices Corp. the Company’s 50% owned subsidiaries GBT BitSpeed Corp. and GBT Tokenize Corp; Gopher Protocol UK Limited (currently inactive); the Company’s 50% owned subsidiary, Gopher Protocol Costa Rica Sociedad De Responabilidad Limitada (currently inactive), and Altcorp Trading LLC, a Costa Rica company. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Cash Equivalents

For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash equivalents include time deposits, certificate of deposits, and all highly-liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less.

Accounts Receivable

The Company grants credit to establishments (such as convenience stores) that sell the Company’s products under credit terms that it believes are customary in the industry and do not require collateral to support customer receivables. 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. The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts was $0 and $0 at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

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:

Furniture	7 years
Computers and equipment	3 years
POSA machines	3 years

6

Long-Lived Assets

The Company applies the provisions of Financial 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 March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company believes there was no impairment of its long-lived assets.

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. The marketable equity securities have been pledged to a third party which vested it under its name (See Note 8).

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

	Fair Value As of		Fair Value Measurements at

Treasury Stock

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

Stock Loan Receivable

On January 8, 2019, the Company entered into a Stock Pledge Agreement with Latin American Exchange Latinex Casa de Cambio, S.A., a Costa Rica corporation (“Latinex”), to provide that Latinex may maintain its required regulatory capital as required by various regulators. The Company has pledged 200,267 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 200,267 restricted shares to the Company for cancellation. The 200,267 restricted shares have not yet been returned to the Company as of March 31, 2020.

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. 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 Company has no significant post-delivery obligations, this new standard did not result 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 are 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:

● 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;

● 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.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold represents the cost of the phone, phone card products and prepaid cellular phone minutes sold by the Company.

Unearned revenue

Unearned revenue represents the net amount received for the purchase of products that have not seen shipped to the Company’s customers. In 2018, the Company ran pre-sales efforts for its pet tracker product and received prepayments for its product. In addition, during 2018, the Company received $200,000 in connection with an intellectual property license and royalty agreement (see Note 14). At December 31, 2019, the Company determined that the unearned revenue would not likely result in the recognition of revenue; therefore, $249,094 of unearned revenue was reclassified to accrued expenses.

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 assumes that all dilutive securities are converted. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Due to the net 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.

	March 31,		December 31,

Series B preferred stock		30		30
Series C preferred stock		8		8
Series G preferred stock		-		-

Management’s Evaluation of Subsequent Events

The Company evaluates events that have occurred after the balance sheet date of March 31, 2020, through the date which the consolidated financial statements are issued. Based upon the review, other than described in Note 16 – Subsequent Events, the Company did not identify any recognized or non-recognized subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU 2018-07, Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies the accounting for share-based payments granted to nonemployees for goods and services and aligns most of the guidance on such payments to nonemployees with the requirements for share-based payments granted to employees. ASU 2018-07 is effective on January 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

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 financial statements and disclosures.

10

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes which amends ASC 740 Income Taxes (ASC 740). This update is intended to simplify accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740 and amending existing guidance to improve consistent application of ASC 740. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021.  The guidance in this update has various elements, some of which are applied on a prospective basis and others on a retrospective basis with earlier application permitted.  The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this ASU on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards could have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements. As new accounting pronouncements are issued, we will adopt those that are applicable under the circumstances.

Note 3 – Discontinued Operations

On September 30, 2019, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement 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 and a convertible promissory note in favor of the Company in the principal amount of $4,000,000.

Note 5 – Investment in. Surge Holdings, Inc. and Mobiquity Technologies, Inc. ; Convertible Note Receivable

Surge Holdings, Inc.

On September 30, 2019, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement 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 (See Note 8 for pledge to third party) 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 following the six-month anniversary of the issuance date. The conversion price of the SURG Note is the volume weighted-average price of SURG’s common stock over the 20 trading days prior to the conversion; provided, however, the conversion price shall never be lower than $0.10 or higher than $0.70. The Company has agreed to restrict its ability to convert the SURG Note and receive shares of common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by it in the aggregate and its affiliates after such conversion does not exceed 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The SURG Note is payable by SURG to the Company on the 18-month anniversary of the issuance date and does not bear interest.

Mobiquity Technologies, Inc (Divested in 2019).

On September 4, 2018, the Company and Mobiquity Technologies, Inc., a New York corporation (“Mobiquity”) entered an agreement pursuant to which the parties exchanged equity interest in each of the companies. In accordance with the agreement, the Company received 1,000 shares of Mobiquity’s restricted Series AAAA Preferred Stock (the “Mobiquity Preferred Stock”) in consideration of Company’s concurrent sale and issuance to Mobiquity of 10,000,000 shares of Company’s common stock. The shares of Mobiquity Preferred Stock are convertible into an aggregate of up to 100,000,000 shares of Mobiquity common stock (the “Mobiquity Common Stock”) and 150,000,000 common stock purchase warrants (the “Mobiquity Warrants”). The Mobiquity Warrants shall have a term of 5 years from the date of grant and shall be exercisable at a price of $0.12 per share and the shares of Mobiquity Preferred Stock shall not be convertible into shares of Mobiquity Common Stock and the Mobiquity Warrants shall not be contemporaneously granted until after Mobiquity’s Board of Directors and stockholders shall have increased the authorized number of shares of Mobiquity’s common stock to a number sufficient to accommodate a reserve in the Company’s favor of 250,000,000 shares of Mobiquity’s common stock. The Mobiquity Preferred Stock shall have immediate voting rights equal to the number of shares of Mobiquity Common Stock into which they may be converted, not including the shares of Mobiquity’s common stock underlying the Mobiquity Warrants.

On November 19, 2018, the Company and Mobiquity entered into an Amendment and Exercise Letter waiving the requirement that Mobiquity’s Board of Directors and stockholders increase the authorized number of shares of Mobiquity’s common stock to a number sufficient to accommodate a reserve in the Company’s favor of 250,000,000 shares of Mobiquity’s common stock prior to the conversion of the Mobiquity Preferred Stock or exercise of the Mobiquity Warrants. In addition, the Company converted 200 shares of Mobiquity Preferred Stock resulting in the issuance to the Company by Mobiquity of 20,000,000 shares of Mobiquity Common Stock and 30,000,000 Mobiquity Warrants. The Company exercised the 30,000,000 Mobiquity Warrants at an exercise price of $0.12 per share of common stock, payable through of the issuance to Mobiquity of 10,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company.

In addition, the Company issued 20,000 shares of common stock to Glen Eagles Acquisition LP (“GEAL”) in consideration of its consulting services associated with the negotiation of the number of shares of common stock to be delivered to Mobiquity upon exercise of the Mobiquity Warrants.

As a result of the transaction on September 4, 2018, the Company had an approximate 21% interest in Mobiquity and began to account for its investment in Mobiquity using the equity method of accounting. During the fourth quarter of 2018, Mobiquity issued additional shares of common stock resulting in the Company’s ownership in Mobiquity dropping to approximately 18% at December 31, 2018. The Company determined that during the fourth quarter of 2018 that it did not exercise significant influence over Mobiquity due to its decreased ownership percentage and the Company’s intent to begin selling shares of Mobiquity common stock that will further decrease its ownership percentage. As a result, during the fourth quarter of 2018 the Company began accounting for its investment in Mobiquity as a marketable equity security.

12

On May 10, 2019, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with GEAL pursuant to which the Company acquired 49% of the membership interest in Advangelists, LLC (the “AVNG Interest”) in consideration of the assumption of a Promissory Note payable by GEAL to the former owners of the AVGN Interest with an outstanding balance of $7,475,000 (the “AVNG Note”) and cancellation of an outstanding Promissory Note payable by GEAL to the Company in the amount of $1,200,000 originally issued on March 1, 2019. Concurrently, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with Mobiquity pursuant to which the Company sold the AVNG Interest to Mobiquity in consideration of Mobiquity assuming the AVNG Note and Mobiquity amending the terms of the Remaining Mobiquity Warrant providing for cashless exercise.

The Company paid 60,000,000 of its Mobiquity shares as partial consideration for the purchase of GBT Technologies, S. A. (see Note 6).

On August 6, 2019, Mobiquity delivered a counter signed letter agreement dated August 2, 2019 pursuant to which the Company exchanged 120,000,000 Mobiquity Warrants into 20,000,000 shares of Mobiquity common stock, which resulted in the Company holding 60,000,000 shares of Mobiquity common stock.

On September 10, 2019, the Company entered into (i) a Stock Purchase Agreement with Mobiquity pursuant to which the Company agreed to return 15,000,000 shares of Mobiquity common stock to Mobiquity in exchange for 110,000 shares of common stock of the Company, (ii) a Stock Purchase Agreement with Marital Trust GST Subject U/W/O Leopold Salkind (“Salkind Trust”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell 7,000,000 shares of Mobiquity common stock to Salkind Trust in consideration of $67,200, (iii) Stock Purchase Agreement with Dr. Gene Salkind (“Salkind”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell 28,000,000 shares of Mobiquity common stock to Salkind in consideration of $268,000 and (iv) a Stock Purchase Agreement with Deepanker Katyal (“Katyal”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell 10,000,000 shares of Mobiquity common stock to Katyal in consideration of 90,000 shares of common stock of the Company. The closing of the agreements occurred on September 13, 2019. As a result of these transactions, the Company realized a loss on the sale of Mobiquity common stock of $3,673,595. At December 31, 2019, the Company owned no shares of Mobiquity common stock.

Note 6 – Equity Investment in 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 25% 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.

The Gopher Convertible Note bears interest of 6% per annum and is payable at maturity on December 31, 2021. At the election of Gonzalez, the Gopher Convertible Note can be converted into a maximum of 20,000 shares of Series H Preferred Stock. Each share of Series H Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder but subject to the Company increasing its authorized shares of common stock, into such number of shares of common stock of the Company as determined by dividing the Stated Value ($500 per share) by the conversion price ($10.00 per share).  The Series H Preferred Stock has no liquidation preference, does not pay dividends and the holder of Series H Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share of common stock that the Series H Preferred Stock may be convertible into. Upon conversion of the Gopher Convertible Note and the 20,000 shares of Series H Preferred Stock, Gonzalez would be entitled to less than 50% of the resulting outstanding shares of common stock of the Company following conversion in full and, as a result, such transaction is not considered a change of control.

GBT-CR is in the business of the strategic management of BPO (Business Process Outsourcing) digital communications processing for enterprises and startups, distributed ledger technology development, AI development and fintech software development and applications.

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, as 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). As such, the Company’s was unable to access or to contact GBT-CR on a 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.

Note 7 – Investment in Joint Venture

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”), 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 100,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company (“GBT Shares”) to GBT Tokenize. Tokenize and the Company will each own 50% of GBT Tokenize. The 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.

In addition, GBT Tokenize and Gonzalez entered into a Consulting Agreement in which Gonzalez is engaged to provide services in consideration of $33,333.33 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. The closing of the Tokenize Agreement occurred on March 9, 2020.

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.

On December 3, 2018, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with Discover Growth Fund, LLC 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 the pending arbitration between the Company and the Investor, an Interim Award was entered in favor of the Investor. On January 31, 2020, the Company was informed that a final award was entered (the “Final Award”). The Final Award affirms that certain sections of the Senior Secured Redeemable Convertible Debenture (the “Debenture”) constitute unenforceable liquidated damages penalties and were stricken. Further, it was determined that the Investor was entitled to recovery of their attorney’s fees. Consequently, the arbitrator awarded Investor an award of $4,034,444 plus interest of 7.25% accrued from May 15, 2019 and costs in the amount of $55,613.

22

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 is 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 is 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 Discover 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 said alleged sale.

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 cryptocurrency exchange platform that currently operates in Costa Rica as a decentralized cryptocurrency 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”).

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 is recorded as unearned revenue at December 31, 2018 and reclassified to accrued expense at December 31, 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. 

Note 15 – Concentrations

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk, consist principally of temporary cash investments. There have been no losses in these accounts through March 31, 2020.

Note 16 - Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated events that occurred subsequent to the end of the reporting period shown herein:

Subsequent to March 31, 2020, the Company issued 14,873,256 shares of common stock for the conversion of $115,000 of convertible notes payable.

On April 11, 2020, Douglas Davis resigned as Chief Executive Officer of the Company so that he may fully devote all of his efforts to GBT Tokenize Corp., the Company’s joint venture, which intends to develop a new product. Mr. Davis’ resignation was not the result of any disagreements with management or board of directors of the Company.

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”). The Company submitted an Issuer Company Related Action Notification regarding the Reverse Stock Split to FINRA on April 14, 2020.  To effectuate the Reverse Stock Split, the Company filed on April 21, 2020 a Certificate of Change Pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) Section 78.209 (the “Certificate of Change”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada subject to FINRA approval. 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. On June 8, 2020 FINRA advised the Company that such request is deficient due to the fact that a holder of an outstanding convertible note of the Company had entered into two settlements with the Securities and Exchange Commission that related to securities laws violations but were in no way related to the Company. As a result, FINRA advised that it is necessary for the protection of investors, the public interest, and to maintain fair and orderly markets that documentation related to the Reverse Stock Split not be processed. The Company appealed the decision made by FINRA on June 15, 2020.

On April 13, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors appointed Mansour Khatib, who has served as the Chief Marketing Officer and a director of the Company as Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Khatib has also previously served as Interim Chief Executive Officer from May 2018 to July 2018.

On June 17, 2020 the Company was approved for a long term loan of $150,000 by SBA - Economic Injury Disaster Loan. The loan was funded on June 22, 2020. Installment payments, including monthly principal and interest of $731.00, will begin Twelve (12) months from the date of the promissory Note. The balance of principal and interest will be payable Thirty (30) years from the date of the promissory Note. Interest will accrue at the rate of 3.75% per annum.

On September 27, 2019, Surge Holdings, Inc. (“SURG”) issued a Convertible Promissory Note issued by SURG in the principal amount of $4,000,000 (the “SURG Note”), which was assigned to AltCorp Trading LLC., a subsidiary of the Company (“AltCorp”). On June 23, 2020, AltCorp and SURG entered into an Exchange Agreement whereby AltCorp exchanged $2,750,000 of the SURG Note for 5,500,000 shares of SURG’s common stock. On June 23, 2020, SURG, AltCorp and Glen Eagles Acquisition LP (“Glen”) entered into an Exchange and Assignment Agreement pursuant to which $1,250,000 of the SURG Note was converted into 2,500,000 shares of common stock of SURG and assigned to Glen.

On or about June 23, 2020 Stanley which holds a pledge of 3,333,333 shares of SURG common stock (See Note 8) via its manager/member (“Stanley’s Member”) entered into an agreement with SURG, its transfer agent and an escrow officer for which Stanley’s Member agreed that 3,333,333 SURG shares will be cancelled for consideration of up to $700,000. The amount of $500,000 was paid on June 23, 2020 into a lawyer’s trust account, and 2,380,952 of SURG shares have been sent for cancelation. The remaining shares may be sent to cancelation upon receiving the remaining $200,000.

Disclosure about GBT Technologies Inc.’s reliance upon the SEC Order dated March 4, 2020 (Release No. 34-88318)

GBT Technologies Inc.’s disclose its reliance upon the SEC Order dated March 4, 2020 (Release No. 34-88318) under Section 36 of the Exchange Act Granting Exemptions from Specified Provisions of the Exchange Act and Certain Rules Thereunder, as superseded by SEC Order Modifying Exemptions from the Reporting and Proxy Delivery Requirements for Public Companies dated March 25, 2020 (Release No. 34-88465) (together, the “Order”) to delay the filing of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2020 (the “Report”) due to circumstances related to the coronavirus epidemic

RELIANCE ON SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION ORDER

The Company is filing its Report pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) Order dated March 4, 2020 (Release No. 34-88318) under Section 36 of the Exchange Act Granting Exemptions from Specified Provisions of the Exchange Act and Certain Rules Thereunder, as superseded by SEC Order Modifying Exemptions from the Reporting and Proxy Delivery Requirements for Public Companies dated March 25, 2020 (Release No. 34-88465) (together, the “Order”) to delay the filing of the Report due to circumstances related to the coronavirus pandemic (“COVID-19”). On March 30, 2020, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K stating that it is relying on the Order to delay the filing of the Report by up to 45 days. The Company’s headquarters is located in California. 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). As such, the Company’s finance team was unable to complete the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the Form 10-Q until after May 15, 2020. These unforeseen circumstances have resulted in the Company being unable to timely file an accurate quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for its quarter-ended March 31, 2020 by the prescribed date without undue hardship and expense to the Company. Accordingly, in reliance upon the Order, the Company filed its quarterly Report on Form 10-Q on June 29, 2020 following the filing of its Form 8-K on May 11, 2020.

Recent Developments

GBT Tokenize Joint Venture

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”), which is owned by a Costa Rica Trust represented by Pablo Gonzalez (“Gonzalez”).

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 has been expanding globally. COVID-19 is considered to be highly contagious and poses a serious public health threat.

On March 19, 2020, the California Governor announced the lockdown of California in an attempt to slow the spread of the virus. 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.

26

In the first quarter of 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak has caused disruptions in our development operations, which have resulted in delays on exiting projects. A prolonged disruption or 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 will be effectively contained, nor can we predict the severity and duration of its impact. 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

Results of Operations:

Three months ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019

A comparison of the statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 is as follows:

Net loss	$	(10,007,840	)	$	(7,955,860	)	$	(2,051,980	)		25.8	%

Sales for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were $4,307,740, compared to $4,592,005 for the same period in 2019. The decrease of $284,265 or 6.2% was a result of a decreased sales due to the economic shutdown due to COVID-19.

Our gross margins for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were 6.1%, compared to 5.8% for the same period in 2019. The small increase in the gross margin was due to selling products with higher margins.

Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were $6,149,433, compared to $3,818,809 for the same period in 2019. The increase of $2,330,624 or 61.0% was due to an impairment charge of $5,500,000 in 2020 offset by lower marketing expenses and stock compensation expense in 2020.

Other expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $4,121,334, a decrease of $92,980 or 2.2% from $4,214,314 for the same period in 2019. The decrease is due to a reduction of amortization of debt discount, change in fair value of derivative liability and interest and financing costs in 2020; offset by a reduction in the unrealized gain on marketable equity securities.

Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $10,007,840 compared to $7,955,860 for the same period in 2019 due to the factors described above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash was $12,677 and $59,634 at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Cash used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $366,846, compared to $4,266,433 during the same period in 2019. Significant differences exist between the periods, including warrants issued for services, amortization of debt discount, financing costs, impairment of assets and unrealized gain (loss) on marketable equity securities. Our working capital position worsened going from a working capital deficit of $11,830,572 at December 31, 2019 to a working capital deficit of $14,786,154 at March 31, 2020, principally as a result of the decrease in marketable equity securities; an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses; an increase in derivative liability; offset by a decrease in note payable. Cash flows used in investing activities were $1,750 during the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $1,204,097 for the same period in 2019. The decrease is due to the amount paid for an acquisition deposit during the three months ended March 31, 2020. Cash from financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $321,639, compared to $4,925,744 for the same period in 2019. The decrease is due to the issuance of a convertible notes and notes payable in 2019.

We sustained net losses of $10,007,840 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. In addition, we had a working capital deficit of $14,786,154 and accumulated deficit of $262,664,291 at March 31, 2020. 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 third quarter of 2020. 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 cash flow received from recent convertible debt and notes payable, the future sale of our marketable equity securities, the conversion of the convertible notes receivable into marketable equity securities and ultimately into cash, and additional cash anticipated to be raised in the near future, we believe we will have sufficient cash to meet our obligations for the next 12 months.

$10,000,000 for GBT Technologies S. A. acquisition - In accordance with the acquisition of GBT-CR the Company issued a convertible note in the principal amount of $10,000,000. The convertible note bears interest of 6% per annum and is payable at maturity on December 31, 2021. At the election of the holder, the convertible note can be converted into a maximum of 20,000 shares of Series H Preferred Stock. Each share of Series H Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder but subject to the Company increasing its authorized shares of common stock, into such number of shares of common stock of the Company as determined by dividing the Stated Value ($500 per share) by the conversion price ($10.00 per share).  The convertible note is convertible into common stock at a fixed price that was higher than the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, therefore, this convertible note does not contain a beneficial conversion feature.

On December 3, 2018, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with an otherwise unaffiliated third-party institutional investor (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. 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 fees. Consequently, and consistent with the expectations of the Company, the arbitrator awarded Discover an award of $4,034,444.46 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.

On February 18, 2020, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Power Up Lending Group Ltd., an accredited investor (“Power Up”) pursuant to which the Company issued to Power Up a Convertible Promissory Note (the “Power Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of $183,600 for a purchase price of $153,000. The Power Note has a maturity date of May 15, 2021 and the Company has agreed to pay interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Power Note at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum from the date on which the Power Note is issued (the “Issue Date”) until the same becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or upon acceleration or by prepayment or otherwise. The Company shall have the right to prepay the Power Note, provided it makes a payment including a prepayment to Power Up as set forth in the Power Note. The transactions described above closed on February 19, 2020. The outstanding principal amount of the Power Note may not be converted prior to the period beginning on the date that is 180 days following the Issue Date. Following the 180^th day, Power Up may convert the Power Note into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to 85% of the lowest trading price with a 15-day look back immediately preceding the date of conversion. In addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default (as defined in the Power Note), the Power Note shall become immediately due and payable and the Company shall pay to Power Up, in full satisfaction of its obligations hereunder, additional amounts as set forth in the Power Note.

On February 27, 2019, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement with a third party investor - Iliad Research and Trading, L.P.(“Iliad”), pursuant to which the Company issued a promissory note for the original principal amount of $2,325,000. The promissory note had an original issue discount of $300,000 and the inventor paid consideration of $2,025,000 to the Company. The outstanding balance of the promissory note is to be paid on the one-year anniversary of the issuance of the note. Interest on the note accrues at the rate of 10% per annum compounding daily. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the note, the Company may prepay all or any portion of the outstanding balance of the note at any time in an amount in cash equal to 120% of the amount repaid. In connection with transactions that generate less than $1,000,000 in proceeds, the Company has agreed to not issue any debt instrument or incurrence of any debt other than trade payables in the ordinary course of business, any securities or agreements to sell common stock with anti-dilution or price reset/reduction features or any securities that are or may be become convertible or exercisable into common stock with a price that varies with the market price of the common stock (collectively, “Restricted Issuance Transaction”). The outstanding balance of the Note will be increased by 5% in the event the Company enters into a Restricted Issuance Transaction that is approved by Iliad. The original issue discount in being amortized to interest expense over the term of the promissory note.

29

On February 27, 2020, the Company and Iliad entered to an Amendment to the Iliad Note pursuant to which the maturity date of the Iliad Note was extended to August 27, 2020, provided that the Debt may be converted into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price equal to 80% multiplied by the lowest trading daily VWAP for the common stock during the 20 trading day period ending on the latest complete trading day prior to the conversion date, provided for the payment by the Company to Iliad of an extension fee equal to 7.5% of the outstanding balance of the Iliad Note resulting in a new balance of the Iliad Note of $2,765,983 and provided that the Company’s failure to deliver shares of common stock within three trading days of a conversion would result in an event of default. Iliad has agreed to restrict its ability to convert the Iliad Note 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 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock.

The Company entered into a series of loan agreements with Stanley Hills LLC (“Stanley”) pursuant to which it received more than $1,000,000 in loans (the “Debt”) since May 2019 up to December 2019. 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 Debt 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. 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. The Stanley Debt is secured via a pledge agreement on the SURG shares. On or about January 27, 2020 the Company agreed that Stanley will hold title to the SURG shares which was completed on or about April 16, 2020 where the 3,333,333 SURG shares been vested under Stanley name.

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.

The Gopher Convertible Note bears interest of 6% per annum and is payable at maturity on December 31, 2021. At the election of Gonzalez, the Gopher Convertible Note can be converted into a maximum of 20,000 shares of Series H Preferred Stock. Each share of Series H Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder but subject to the Company increasing its authorized shares of common stock, into such number of shares of common stock of the Company as determined by dividing the Stated Value ($500 per share) by the conversion price ($10.00 per share).  The Series H Preferred Stock has no liquidation preference, does not pay dividends and the holder of Series H Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share of common stock that the Series H Preferred Stock may be convertible into.

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.

30

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 include the accounts of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

Accounts Receivable

The Company grants credit to establishments (such as convenient stores) who sell the Company’s products under credit terms that it believes are customary in the industry and does not require collateral to support customer receivables. 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.

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

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. 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 Company has no significant post-delivery obligations, this new standard did not   result 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 are 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:

● 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 revenue categories, is summarized below:

● IT services - revenue is recorded on a monthly basis as services are provided;

● 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.

31

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, 2018, 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 Measurements

The Company applies the provisions of ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” ASC 820-10 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 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, 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 are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

For certain financial instruments, the carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash and current liabilities, including convertible notes payable, 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 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. Our Board is considering in the near future the potential divesture of UGopherServices in form of a none-cash dividend, subject of resolving the legal dispute as disclose in the report.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As a Smaller Reporting Company, the Company is not required to include the disclosure under this Item.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the applicable period to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

32

As a smaller reporting company, with revenues stemming from recent acquisitions and a lack of profitability, the Company does not have the resources to install dedicated staff with deep expertise in all facets of SEC disclosure and GAAP compliance, and does not employ enough accounting staff to have proper separation of duties. As is the case with many smaller reporting companies, the Company will continue to consult with its external auditors and attorneys as it relates to new accounting principles and changes to SEC disclosure requirements. In order to correct this material weakness, the Company engaged a consultant with expertise in SEC disclosure and GAAP compliance. The Company has found that this approach worked well in the past and believes it to be the most cost-effective solution available for the foreseeable future. The Company will conduct a review of existing sign-off and review procedures as well as document control protocols for critical accounting spreadsheets. The Company will also increase management’s review of key financial documents and records.

As a smaller reporting company, the Company does not have the resources to fund sufficient staff to ensure a complete segregation of responsibilities within the accounting function. However, Company management does review, and will increase the review of, financial statements on a monthly basis, and the Company’s external auditor conducts reviews on a quarterly basis. These actions, in addition to the improvements identified above, will minimize any risk of a potential material misstatement occurring.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2020, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Legal Proceedings

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

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 UGopherServices in September 2017. The case number is 19STCV03320. The 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 December 3, 2018, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with Discover Growth Fund, LLC 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 the pending arbitration between the Company and the Investor, an Interim Award was entered in favor of the Investor. On January 31, 2020, the Company was informed that a final award was entered (the “Final Award”). The Final Award affirms that certain sections of the Senior Secured Redeemable Convertible Debenture (the “Debenture”) constitute unenforceable liquidated damages penalties and were stricken. Further, it was determined that the Investor was entitled to recovery of their attorney’s fees. Consequently, the arbitrator awarded Investor an award of $4,034,444 plus interest of 7.25% accrued from May 15, 2019 and costs in the amount of $55,613.

33

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 is 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 is 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 Discover 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 said alleged sale.

Equity Investment in GBT Technologies, S.A.

Note 6 – Equity Investment in 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 25% 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.

The Gopher Convertible Note bears interest of 6% per annum and is payable at maturity on December 31, 2021. At the election of Gonzalez, the Gopher Convertible Note can be converted into a maximum of 20,000 shares of Series H Preferred Stock. Each share of Series H Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder but subject to the Company increasing its authorized shares of common stock, into such number of shares of common stock of the Company as determined by dividing the Stated Value ($500 per share) by the conversion price ($10.00 per share).  The Series H Preferred Stock has no liquidation preference, does not pay dividends and the holder of Series H Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share of common stock that the Series H Preferred Stock may be convertible into. Upon conversion of the Gopher Convertible Note and the 20,000 shares of Series H Preferred Stock, Gonzalez would be entitled to less than 50% of the resulting outstanding shares of common stock of the Company following conversion in full and, as a result, such transaction is not considered a change of control.

GBT-CR is in the business of the strategic management of BPO (Business Process Outsourcing) digital communications processing for enterprises and startups, distributed ledger technology development, AI development and fintech software development and applications.

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, as 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). As such, the Company’s was unable to access or to contact GBT-CR on a 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.

Accrued Settlement

Note 10 – Accrued Settlement

In connection with a legal matter filed by the Investor of the $8,340,000 Senior Secured Redeemable Convertible Debenture, on December 23, 2019, in the pending arbitration between the Company and the Investor, an Interim Award was entered in favor of the Investor. On January 31, 2020, the Company was informed that a final award was entered (the “Final Award”). The Final Award affirms that certain sections of the Senior Secured Redeemable Convertible Debenture (the “Debenture”) constitute unenforceable liquidated damages penalties and were stricken. Further, it was determined that the Investor was entitled to recovery of their attorney’s fees. Consequently, the arbitrator awarded Investor an award of $4,034,444 plus interest of 7.25% accrued from May 15, 2019 and costs in the amount of $55,613. (See Note 14). In connection with this settlement, the Company recognized a gain on the settlement of debt of $1,375,556 in 2019 as the difference between the carrying amount of the debt and the amount awarded by the arbitrator.

Organization and Basis of Presentation

Note 1 - Organization and Basis of Presentation

Organization and Line of Business

GBT Technologies Inc. (formerly Gopher Protocol Inc.) (the “Company”, “GBT”, “GTCH”) was incorporated on July 22, 2009 under the laws of the State of Nevada. 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, prepaid services, 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 also offers prepaid cellular phone minutes for both domestic and international carriers. In addition, the Company offers cellular activation (activating SIM cards with wireless carriers) to create additional users (consumers) on those networks and provides check processing, verification and recovery solutions for small to medium sized businesses. The Company derived revenues from (i) the provision of IT services; (ii) from the operations of the assets that include the sale of phones, phone card products, prepaid cellular phone minutes and cellular activation and (iii) from the licensing of its technology.

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

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared by the Company, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”). 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 three months ended March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the year ending December 31, 2020.

Basis of Presentation  

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

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. (Also see Note 16 for a proposed 1 for 50 stock split awaiting appeal)

Going Concern 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $262,664,291 and has a working capital deficit of $14,786,154 as of March 31, 2020, and is in default on a note payable and other obligations, 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 condensed 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.

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.

 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 UGopherServices in September 2017. The case number is 19STCV03320. The 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 December 3, 2018, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with Discover Growth Fund, LLC 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 the pending arbitration between the Company and the Investor, an Interim Award was entered in favor of the Investor. On January 31, 2020, the Company was informed that a final award was entered (the “Final Award”). The Final Award affirms that certain sections of the Senior Secured Redeemable Convertible Debenture (the “Debenture”) constitute unenforceable liquidated damages penalties and were stricken. Further, it was determined that the Investor was entitled to recovery of their attorney’s fees. Consequently, the arbitrator awarded Investor an award of $4,034,444 plus interest of 7.25% accrued from May 15, 2019 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 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 is 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 is 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 Discover 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 said alleged sale.

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 cryptocurrency exchange platform that currently operates in Costa Rica as a decentralized cryptocurrency 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 is recorded as unearned revenue at December 31, 2018 and reclassified to accrued expense at December 31, 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.

Investment in Joint Venture

Note 7 – Investment in Joint Venture

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”), 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 100,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company (“GBT Shares”) to GBT Tokenize. Tokenize and the Company will each own 50% of GBT Tokenize. The 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.

In addition, GBT Tokenize and Gonzalez entered into a Consulting Agreement in which Gonzalez is engaged to provide services in consideration of $33,333.33 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. The closing of the Tokenize Agreement occurred on March 9, 2020.

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.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2020

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Use of Estimates

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, valuation of beneficial conversion feature, debt discounts, valuation of derivatives, and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, UGopherServices Corp. the Company’s 50% owned subsidiaries GBT BitSpeed Corp. and GBT Tokenize Corp; Gopher Protocol UK Limited (currently inactive); the Company’s 50% owned subsidiary, Gopher Protocol Costa Rica Sociedad De Responabilidad Limitada (currently inactive), and Altcorp Trading LLC, a Costa Rica company. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Cash Equivalents

Cash Equivalents

For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash equivalents include time deposits, certificate of deposits, and all highly-liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts Receivable

The Company grants credit to establishments (such as convenience stores) that sell the Company’s products under credit terms that it believes are customary in the industry and do not require collateral to support customer receivables. 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. The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts was $0 and $0 at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Property and Equipment

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:

Furniture	7 years
Computers and equipment	3 years
POSA machines	3 years

Long-Lived Assets

Long-Lived Assets

The Company applies the provisions of Financial 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 March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company believes there was no impairment of its long-lived assets.

Marketable Equity Securities

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. The marketable equity securities have been pledged to a third party which vested it under its name (See Note 8).

Derivative Financial Instruments

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 March 31, 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 measurements

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

	Fair Value As of		Fair Value Measurements at
	March 31,		March 31, 2020
Description	2020		Using Fair Value Hierarchy

Treasury Stock

Treasury Stock

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

Stock Loan Receivable

Stock Loan Receivable

On January 8, 2019, the Company entered into a Stock Pledge Agreement with Latin American Exchange Latinex Casa de Cambio, S.A., a Costa Rica corporation (“Latinex”), to provide that Latinex may maintain its required regulatory capital as required by various regulators. The Company has pledged 200,267 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 200,267 restricted shares to the Company for cancellation. The 200,267 restricted shares have not yet been returned to the Company as of March 31, 2020.

Revenue Recognition

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. 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 Company has no significant post-delivery obligations, this new standard did not result 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 are 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:

● 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;

● 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.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold represents the cost of the phone, phone card products and prepaid cellular phone minutes sold by the Company.

Unearned revenue

Unearned revenue

Unearned revenue represents the net amount received for the purchase of products that have not seen shipped to the Company’s customers. In 2018, the Company ran pre-sales efforts for its pet tracker product and received prepayments for its product. In addition, during 2018, the Company received $200,000 in connection with an intellectual property license and royalty agreement (see Note 14). At December 31, 2019, the Company determined that the unearned revenue would not likely result in the recognition of revenue; therefore, $249,094 of unearned revenue was reclassified to accrued expenses.

Income Taxes

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

Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share is calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS assumes that all dilutive securities are converted. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Due to the net 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.

Series B preferred stock		30		30
Series C preferred stock		8		8
Series G preferred stock		-		-

Convertible notes		499,972,212		1,100,000
Total		520,622,417		21,754,205

Management's Evaluation of Subsequent Events

Management’s Evaluation of Subsequent Events

The Company evaluates events that have occurred after the balance sheet date of March 31, 2020, through the date which the consolidated financial statements are issued. Based upon the review, other than described in Note 16 – Subsequent Events, the Company did not identify any recognized or non-recognized subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU 2018-07, Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies the accounting for share-based payments granted to nonemployees for goods and services and aligns most of the guidance on such payments to nonemployees with the requirements for share-based payments granted to employees. ASU 2018-07 is effective on January 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

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 financial statements and disclosures.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes which amends ASC 740 Income Taxes (ASC 740). This update is intended to simplify accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740 and amending existing guidance to improve consistent application of ASC 740. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021.  The guidance in this update has various elements, some of which are applied on a prospective basis and others on a retrospective basis with earlier application permitted.  The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this ASU on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards could have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements. As new accounting pronouncements are issued, we will adopt those that are applicable under the circumstances.

Note 5 – Investment in. Surge Holdings, Inc. and Mobiquity Technologies, Inc. ; Convertible Note Receivable

Surge Holdings, Inc.

On September 30, 2019, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement 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 (See Note 8 for pledge to third party) 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 following the six-month anniversary of the issuance date. The conversion price of the SURG Note is the volume weighted-average price of SURG’s common stock over the 20 trading days prior to the conversion; provided, however, the conversion price shall never be lower than $0.10 or higher than $0.70. The Company has agreed to restrict its ability to convert the SURG Note and receive shares of common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by it in the aggregate and its affiliates after such conversion does not exceed 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The SURG Note is payable by SURG to the Company on the 18-month anniversary of the issuance date and does not bear interest.

Mobiquity Technologies, Inc (Divested in 2019).

On September 4, 2018, the Company and Mobiquity Technologies, Inc., a New York corporation (“Mobiquity”) entered an agreement pursuant to which the parties exchanged equity interest in each of the companies. In accordance with the agreement, the Company received 1,000 shares of Mobiquity’s restricted Series AAAA Preferred Stock (the “Mobiquity Preferred Stock”) in consideration of Company’s concurrent sale and issuance to Mobiquity of 10,000,000 shares of Company’s common stock. The shares of Mobiquity Preferred Stock are convertible into an aggregate of up to 100,000,000 shares of Mobiquity common stock (the “Mobiquity Common Stock”) and 150,000,000 common stock purchase warrants (the “Mobiquity Warrants”). The Mobiquity Warrants shall have a term of 5 years from the date of grant and shall be exercisable at a price of $0.12 per share and the shares of Mobiquity Preferred Stock shall not be convertible into shares of Mobiquity Common Stock and the Mobiquity Warrants shall not be contemporaneously granted until after Mobiquity’s Board of Directors and stockholders shall have increased the authorized number of shares of Mobiquity’s common stock to a number sufficient to accommodate a reserve in the Company’s favor of 250,000,000 shares of Mobiquity’s common stock. The Mobiquity Preferred Stock shall have immediate voting rights equal to the number of shares of Mobiquity Common Stock into which they may be converted, not including the shares of Mobiquity’s common stock underlying the Mobiquity Warrants.

On November 19, 2018, the Company and Mobiquity entered into an Amendment and Exercise Letter waiving the requirement that Mobiquity’s Board of Directors and stockholders increase the authorized number of shares of Mobiquity’s common stock to a number sufficient to accommodate a reserve in the Company’s favor of 250,000,000 shares of Mobiquity’s common stock prior to the conversion of the Mobiquity Preferred Stock or exercise of the Mobiquity Warrants. In addition, the Company converted 200 shares of Mobiquity Preferred Stock resulting in the issuance to the Company by Mobiquity of 20,000,000 shares of Mobiquity Common Stock and 30,000,000 Mobiquity Warrants. The Company exercised the 30,000,000 Mobiquity Warrants at an exercise price of $0.12 per share of common stock, payable through of the issuance to Mobiquity of 10,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company.

In addition, the Company issued 20,000 shares of common stock to Glen Eagles Acquisition LP (“GEAL”) in consideration of its consulting services associated with the negotiation of the number of shares of common stock to be delivered to Mobiquity upon exercise of the Mobiquity Warrants.

As a result of the transaction on September 4, 2018, the Company had an approximate 21% interest in Mobiquity and began to account for its investment in Mobiquity using the equity method of accounting. During the fourth quarter of 2018, Mobiquity issued additional shares of common stock resulting in the Company’s ownership in Mobiquity dropping to approximately 18% at December 31, 2018. The Company determined that during the fourth quarter of 2018 that it did not exercise significant influence over Mobiquity due to its decreased ownership percentage and the Company’s intent to begin selling shares of Mobiquity common stock that will further decrease its ownership percentage. As a result, during the fourth quarter of 2018 the Company began accounting for its investment in Mobiquity as a marketable equity security.

On May 10, 2019, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with GEAL pursuant to which the Company acquired 49% of the membership interest in Advangelists, LLC (the “AVNG Interest”) in consideration of the assumption of a Promissory Note payable by GEAL to the former owners of the AVGN Interest with an outstanding balance of $7,475,000 (the “AVNG Note”) and cancellation of an outstanding Promissory Note payable by GEAL to the Company in the amount of $1,200,000 originally issued on March 1, 2019. Concurrently, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with Mobiquity pursuant to which the Company sold the AVNG Interest to Mobiquity in consideration of Mobiquity assuming the AVNG Note and Mobiquity amending the terms of the Remaining Mobiquity Warrant providing for cashless exercise.

The Company paid 60,000,000 of its Mobiquity shares as partial consideration for the purchase of GBT Technologies, S. A. (see Note 6).

On August 6, 2019, Mobiquity delivered a counter signed letter agreement dated August 2, 2019 pursuant to which the Company exchanged 120,000,000 Mobiquity Warrants into 20,000,000 shares of Mobiquity common stock, which resulted in the Company holding 60,000,000 shares of Mobiquity common stock.

On September 10, 2019, the Company entered into (i) a Stock Purchase Agreement with Mobiquity pursuant to which the Company agreed to return 15,000,000 shares of Mobiquity common stock to Mobiquity in exchange for 110,000 shares of common stock of the Company, (ii) a Stock Purchase Agreement with Marital Trust GST Subject U/W/O Leopold Salkind (“Salkind Trust”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell 7,000,000 shares of Mobiquity common stock to Salkind Trust in consideration of $67,200, (iii) Stock Purchase Agreement with Dr. Gene Salkind (“Salkind”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell 28,000,000 shares of Mobiquity common stock to Salkind in consideration of $268,000 and (iv) a Stock Purchase Agreement with Deepanker Katyal (“Katyal”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell 10,000,000 shares of Mobiquity common stock to Katyal in consideration of 90,000 shares of common stock of the Company. The closing of the agreements occurred on September 13, 2019. As a result of these transactions, the Company realized a loss on the sale of Mobiquity common stock of $3,673,595. At December 31, 2019, the Company owned no shares of Mobiquity common stock.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

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, valuation of beneficial conversion feature, debt discounts, valuation of derivatives, and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, UGopherServices Corp. the Company’s 50% owned subsidiaries GBT BitSpeed Corp. and GBT Tokenize Corp; Gopher Protocol UK Limited (currently inactive); the Company’s 50% owned subsidiary, Gopher Protocol Costa Rica Sociedad De Responabilidad Limitada (currently inactive), and Altcorp Trading LLC, a Costa Rica company. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Cash Equivalents

For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash equivalents include time deposits, certificate of deposits, and all highly-liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less.

Accounts Receivable

The Company grants credit to establishments (such as convenience stores) that sell the Company’s products under credit terms that it believes are customary in the industry and do not require collateral to support customer receivables. 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. The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts was $0 and $0 at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

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:

Furniture	7 years
Computers and equipment	3 years
POSA machines	3 years

Long-Lived Assets

The Company applies the provisions of Financial 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 March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company believes there was no impairment of its long-lived assets.

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. The marketable equity securities have been pledged to a third party which vested it under its name (See Note 8).

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

	Fair Value As of		Fair Value Measurements at
	March 31,		March 31, 2020
Description	2020		Using Fair Value Hierarchy
			Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Marketable equity security - Surge Holdings, Inc.	$	816,667	$	-	$	816,667	$	-
Conversion feature on convertible notes	$	5,365,843	$	-	$	5,365,843	$	-

Conversion feature on convertible notes	$	-	$	-	$	-	$	-

Treasury Stock

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

Stock Loan Receivable

On January 8, 2019, the Company entered into a Stock Pledge Agreement with Latin American Exchange Latinex Casa de Cambio, S.A., a Costa Rica corporation (“Latinex”), to provide that Latinex may maintain its required regulatory capital as required by various regulators. The Company has pledged 200,267 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 200,267 restricted shares to the Company for cancellation. The 200,267 restricted shares have not yet been returned to the Company as of March 31, 2020.

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. 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 Company has no significant post-delivery obligations, this new standard did not result 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 are 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:

● 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;

● 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.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold represents the cost of the phone, phone card products and prepaid cellular phone minutes sold by the Company.

Unearned revenue

Unearned revenue represents the net amount received for the purchase of products that have not seen shipped to the Company’s customers. In 2018, the Company ran pre-sales efforts for its pet tracker product and received prepayments for its product. In addition, during 2018, the Company received $200,000 in connection with an intellectual property license and royalty agreement (see Note 14). At December 31, 2019, the Company determined that the unearned revenue would not likely result in the recognition of revenue; therefore, $249,094 of unearned revenue was reclassified to accrued expenses.

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 assumes that all dilutive securities are converted. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Due to the net 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.

Management’s Evaluation of Subsequent Events

The Company evaluates events that have occurred after the balance sheet date of March 31, 2020, through the date which the consolidated financial statements are issued. Based upon the review, other than described in Note 16 – Subsequent Events, the Company did not identify any recognized or non-recognized subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU 2018-07, Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies the accounting for share-based payments granted to nonemployees for goods and services and aligns most of the guidance on such payments to nonemployees with the requirements for share-based payments granted to employees. ASU 2018-07 is effective on January 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

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 financial statements and disclosures.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes which amends ASC 740 Income Taxes (ASC 740). This update is intended to simplify accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740 and amending existing guidance to improve consistent application of ASC 740. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021.  The guidance in this update has various elements, some of which are applied on a prospective basis and others on a retrospective basis with earlier application permitted.  The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this ASU on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards could have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements. As new accounting pronouncements are issued, we will adopt those that are applicable under the circumstances.

During the year ended December 31, 2014, GV Global Communications, Inc. converted 7,770 of its Series C Preferred Stock into 120 post-split. During the third quarter of 2014, the Company received 42 post-split common shares to adjust the shares issued to reflect the amount that both they and the Company believed that they were owed. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, GV owns 700 Series C Preferred Shares.

The issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock was made in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 506 promulgated under Regulation D thereunder.  GV is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.

Note 16 - Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated events that occurred subsequent to the end of the reporting period shown herein:

Subsequent to March 31, 2020, the Company issued 14,873,256 shares of common stock for the conversion of $115,000 of convertible notes payable.

On April 11, 2020, Douglas Davis resigned as Chief Executive Officer of the Company so that he may fully devote all of his efforts to GBT Tokenize Corp., the Company’s joint venture, which intends to develop a new product. Mr. Davis’ resignation was not the result of any disagreements with management or board of directors of the Company.

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”). The Company submitted an Issuer Company Related Action Notification regarding the Reverse Stock Split to FINRA on April 14, 2020.  To effectuate the Reverse Stock Split, the Company filed on April 21, 2020 a Certificate of Change Pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) Section 78.209 (the “Certificate of Change”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada subject to FINRA approval. 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. On June 8, 2020 FINRA advised the Company that such request is deficient due to the fact that a holder of an outstanding convertible note of the Company had entered into two settlements with the Securities and Exchange Commission that related to securities laws violations but were in no way related to the Company. As a result, FINRA advised that it is necessary for the protection of investors, the public interest, and to maintain fair and orderly markets that documentation related to the Reverse Stock Split not be processed. The Company appealed the decision made by FINRA on June 15, 2020.

On April 13, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors appointed Mansour Khatib, who has served as the Chief Marketing Officer and a director of the Company as Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Khatib has also previously served as Interim Chief Executive Officer from May 2018 to July 2018.

On June 17, 2020 the Company was approved for a long term loan of $150,000 by SBA - Economic Injury Disaster Loan. The loan was funded on June 22, 2020. Installment payments, including monthly principal and interest of $731.00, will begin Twelve (12) months from the date of the promissory Note. The balance of principal and interest will be payable Thirty (30) years from the date of the promissory Note. Interest will accrue at the rate of 3.75% per annum.

On September 27, 2019, Surge Holdings, Inc. (“SURG”) issued a Convertible Promissory Note issued by SURG in the principal amount of $4,000,000 (the “SURG Note”), which was assigned to AltCorp Trading LLC., a subsidiary of the Company (“AltCorp”). On June 23, 2020, AltCorp and SURG entered into an Exchange Agreement whereby AltCorp exchanged $2,750,000 of the SURG Note for 5,500,000 shares of SURG’s common stock. On June 23, 2020, SURG, AltCorp and Glen Eagles Acquisition LP (“Glen”) entered into an Exchange and Assignment Agreement pursuant to which $1,250,000 of the SURG Note was converted into 2,500,000 shares of common stock of SURG and assigned to Glen.

On or about June 23, 2020 Stanley which holds a pledge of 3,333,333 shares of SURG common stock (See Note 8) via its manager/member (“Stanley’s Member”) entered into an agreement with SURG, its transfer agent and an escrow officer for which Stanley’s Member agreed that 3,333,333 SURG shares will be cancelled for consideration of up to $700,000. The amount of $500,000 was paid on June 23, 2020 into a lawyer’s trust account, and 2,380,952 of SURG shares have been sent for cancelation. The remaining shares may be sent to cancelation upon receiving the remaining $200,000.
