The Company incurred $49,933 and $41,569 of consulting fees primarily related to stock-based compensation expense from the issuance of shares of common stock to consultants for sales, marketing, investor relation and other incidental services for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The remaining amounts attributed to professional fees incurred by the Company during the six months ended June 30, 2020 are attributed to various types of professional fees, none of which is significant individually.

-1-

Compensation expenses

Compensation expenses and related expenses such as payroll taxes and health insurance for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were $181,803 and $298,964, respectively, relates to salaries of our three officers and hiring of additional employees.

Other Expense, net

During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company reported other expense of $21,340 and $5,447,536, respectively. Other expense includes interest expense and amortization of original issue discounts on notes payable of $28,348 offset by other income and interest income of $7,008 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Other expense includes interest expense and amortization of original issue discounts on notes payable of $46,967 and loss on debt extinguishment of $5,400,569 pursuant to a Forbearance and Exchange Agreement with a note holder for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

At June 30, 2020 the aggregate outstanding balances on the Company’s borrowings was $319,224. The Company has classified these borrowings as notes payable, related parties of $15,500. Additionally, the Company has outstanding balances of $300,000 from the issuance of convertible notes and note payable (current and long-term portion) of $6,042 as of June 30, 2020.

Net Loss

For the foregoing reasons, the Company’s net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, was $413,490 and $5,983,030, respectively.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Plan of Operations

As of June 30, 2020, we had cash totaling approximately $237,000.

Going Concern Consideration

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has no revenue generating operations and has a net loss since inception of approximately $16.2 million. In addition, there is a working capital deficiency of approximately $149,000 as of June 30, 2020. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plans provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

Net cash used in operating activities totaled approximately $446,000 and $509,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 totaled approximately $413,000 and $5,983,000, respectively. Stock based compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was approximately $1,700 and amortization expense of $11,000. Total accounts payable and accrued expenses increased by approximately $16,000, advance deposits increased by approximately $50,000 and operating lease liabilities decreased approximately $11,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2020. Loss on debt extinguishment for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was approximately $5,400,000 and total amortization expense of $32,000. Total accounts payable and accrued expenses increased by approximately $52,000 and operating lease liabilities decreased approximately $9,500 during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Net cash provided by financing activities totaled approximately $612,000 and $399,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, financing activities consisted of net proceeds of approximately $607,000 from the sale of common stock, $6,000 from the issuance of note payable and $99,000 of advances from a related party offset by approximately $99,000 repayment of related party advances and $1,000 repayment of notes. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, financing activities was primarily attributable to net proceeds of approximately $192,000 from the sale of common stock and $207,000 collection of subscription receivable and $110,000 of advance from a related party offset by $111,000 total repayment of related party advances and note payable-related party.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Refer to the notes to the unaudited condensed financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, 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 from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Management believes the following critical accounting policies affect the significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements.

-3-

Use of estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and the related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. Significant estimates include the valuation of deferred tax assets, valuation of warrants issued with debt and the value of stock-based compensation and fees.

Stock-based compensation

Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of the Share-Based Payment Topic of ASC 718 which requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee or director is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting period). The ASC also requires measurement of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award.

Through March 31, 2018, pursuant to ASC 505-50 - Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees, all share-based payments to non-employees, including grants of stock options, were recognized in the financial statements as compensation expense over the service period of the consulting arrangement or until performance conditions were expected to be met. Using a Black Scholes valuation model, the Company periodically reassessed the fair value of non-employee options until service conditions were met, which generally aligned with the vesting period of the options, and the Company adjusted the expense recognized in the financial statements accordingly. In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for nonemployee share-based payment transactions by expanding the scope of the stock-based compensation guidance in ASC 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from non-employees. ASU No. 2018-07 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted, but entities may not adopt prior to adopting the new revenue recognition guidance in ASC 606. Effective April 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2018-07 which did not have any material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Software development costs

The Company develops software and applications which are being provided to customers for free in order to deliver revenue producing products. Software development costs include costs to develop software to be used to meet internal needs and applications used to deliver the Company’s services. The Company capitalizes development costs related to these software applications once the preliminary project stage is complete and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. Capitalization ceases at the point the software project is substantially complete and ready for its intended use, and after all substantial testing is completed. Upgrades and enhancements are capitalized if it is probable that those expenditures will result in additional functionality. Amortization is provided for on a straight-line basis over the expected useful life of three years of the internal-use software development costs and related upgrades and enhancements. When existing software is replaced with new software, the unamortized costs of the old software are expensed when the new software is ready for its intended use.

-4-

Leases

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The updated guidance requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for most operating leases. In addition, the updated guidance requires that lessors separate lease and non-lease components in a contract in accordance with the new revenue guidance in ASC 606. The updated guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018.

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, applying the package of practical expedients to leases that commenced before the effective date whereby the Company elected to not reassess the following: (i) whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases and; (ii) initial direct costs for any existing leases. For contracts entered into on or after the effective date, at the inception of a contract the Company assessed whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. The Company’s assessment is based on: (1) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2) whether we obtain the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the period, and (3) whether it has the right to direct the use of the asset. The Company will allocate the consideration in the contract to each lease component based on its relative stand-alone price to determine the lease payments.

Operating lease right of use assets (“ROU”) assets represents the right to use the leased asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company use an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the adoption date in determining the present value of future payments. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in general and administrative expenses in the condensed statements of operations.

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization

DatChat, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 4, 2014 under the name of YssUp, Inc. On March 4, 2015, the Company’s corporate name was changed to Dat Chat, Inc. In August 2016, the Board of Directors of the Company approved to change the name of the Company from Dat Chat, Inc. to DatChat, Inc. The Company established a fiscal year end of December 31. The Company’s principal business is focused on its mobile messaging application that provides a traditional messaging platform, while providing users with complete privacy and control features for their sent messages. The Company’s mobile messaging application is called DatChat Messenger which is currently a free messaging application. Once the Company achieves critical mass of users, the Company will offer new features and will charge fees and generate revenues from the added features.

Basis of presentation and going concern

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred a net loss of $413,490 and net cash used in operations of $446,231, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Additionally, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $16,195,532 at June 30, 2020 and has not generated revenues since inception. These circumstances cause substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to further implement its business plan, raise capital, and generate revenues. Currently, management is seeking capital to implement its business plan. Management believes that the actions presently being taken provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the unaudited financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, although management of the Company believes that the disclosures contained in these unaudited condensed financial statements are adequate to make the information presented therein not misleading. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year as a whole.

Use of estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and the related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. Significant estimates include the valuation of deferred tax assets, valuation of warrants issued with debt, and the value of stock-based compensation expenses.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments and other short-term investments with maturity of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalent balances at one financial institution that is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company’s account at this institution is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") up to $250,000. As of June 30, 2020, the Company has not reached bank balances exceeding the FDIC insurance limit. To reduce its risk associated with the failure of such financial institution, the Company evaluates at least annually the rating of the financial institution in which it holds deposits.

F-5

Fair value measurements and fair value of financial instruments

The carrying value of certain financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, convertible notes payable, notes payable – related parties and due to related party are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

Revenue recognition

The Company will recognize revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires revenue to be recognized in a manner that depicts the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company will further analyze its revenue recognition policy when it enters into revenue producing customer contracts.

Advertising Costs

The Company applies ASC 720 “Other Expenses” to account for advertising related costs. Pursuant to ASC 720-35-25-1, the Company expenses the advertising costs when the first time the advertising takes place. Advertising costs were $82,825 and $98,080 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and are included in general and administrative expenses on the statement of operations.

Leases

Income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the provision of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740-10, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASC 740-10”), which requires, among other things, an asset and liability approach to calculating deferred income taxes. The asset and liability approach require the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is provided to offset any net deferred tax assets for which management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred asset will not be realized.

F-6

The Company follows the provision of ASC 740-10 related to Accounting for Uncertain Income Tax Positions. When tax returns are filed, there may be uncertainty about the merits of positions taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. In accordance with the guidance of ASC 740-10, the benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more likely than not recognition threshold are measured at the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefit associated with tax positions taken that exceed the amount measured as described above should be reflected as a liability for uncertain tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. The Company believes its tax positions are all more likely than not to be upheld upon examination. As such, the Company has not recorded a liability for uncertain tax benefits.

The Company has adopted ASC 740-10-25, “Definition of Settlement”, which provides guidance on how an entity should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits and provides that a tax position can be effectively settled upon the completion and examination by a taxing authority without being legally extinguished. For tax positions considered effectively settled, an entity would recognize the full amount of tax benefit, even if the tax position is not considered more likely than not to be sustained based solely on the basis of its technical merits and the statute of limitations remains open. The federal and state income tax returns of the Company are subject to examination by the IRS and state taxing authorities, generally for three years after they are filed.

Software development costs

The Company released its application on July 8, 2015 and consequently, the Company incurred software developments expenses which consisted primarily of consulting fees and salaries for software programming services in the amount of $80,359 and $107,467 during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassification of prior year amounts have been made to conform to the 2019 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net loss or loss per share previously reported.

Basic and diluted net loss per share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period.

The following were excluded from the computation of diluted shares outstanding as they would have had an anti-dilutive impact on the Company’s net loss. In periods where the Company has a net loss, all dilutive securities are excluded.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”. The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods and is applied retrospectively. The Company elected to apply the transition provisions as of January 1, 2019, the date of adoption, and recorded lease ROU assets and related liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet related to our operating leases.

F-8

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for nonemployee share-based payment transactions by expanding the scope of the stock-based compensation guidance in ASC 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from non-employees. ASU No. 2018-07 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted, but entities may not adopt prior to adopting the new revenue recognition guidance in ASC 606. The adoption of this guidance had no material impact on its accounting and disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Changes to Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements”, which will improve the effectiveness of disclosure requirements for recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The standard removes, modifies, and adds certain disclosure requirements, and is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is assessing ASU 2018-07 and does not expect it to have a material impact on its accounting and disclosures.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption. The Company does not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to its financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

NOTE 2 – OPERATING LEASE RIGHT-OF-USE ASSETS AND OPERATING LEASE LIABILITIES

The base rent is subject to annual increases beginning the 2^nd and 3^rd lease year as defined in the lease agreement. In addition to the monthly base rent, the Company is charged separately for common area maintenance which is considered a non-lease component. These non-lease component payments are expensed as incurred and are not included in operating lease assets or liabilities.

Convertible notes payable	$	300,000	$	300,000

On January 26, 2018, the Company issued a senior convertible promissory note to an unrelated party for a principal amount of $300,000. The senior convertible promissory note and all accrued interest were due on January 26, 2019. The Company paid issuance costs of $60,000 in connection with this note payable which is being amortized over the term of the note. Any amount of principal or interest on this note which was not paid when due would bear interest at the rate of 18% per annum from the due date thereof until the same was paid. The note holder had the right from the date of issuance of this note to convert any outstanding unpaid principal amount and accrued interest into the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to $0.20 per share. The conversion price, however, was subject to full ratchet anti-dilution in the event that the Company issues any securities at a per share price lower than the conversion price then in effect. Additionally, in connection with the issuance of this note, the Company had granted the note holder 1,500,000 five year warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.20 per share subject to applicable adjustments including full ratchet anti-dilution in the event that the Company issue any securities at a per share price lower than the exercise price then in effect. The Company recorded amortization of debt discount and original issuance cost of $0 and $22,192 during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and has been included in interest expense on the statement of operations.

On January 26, 2019, the Company entered into a Forbearance and Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”), whereby the Company failed to repay a convertible note issued on January 26, 2018 for $300,000 and the Company obtained a forbearance of the maturity date default. The note holder agreed to forbear from declaring a breach of transaction, declaring an occurrence of any event of default and demanding any amounts due until the earlier of February 5, 2019. In exchange for the forbearance, the Company agreed to cancel the previously issued detached warrant to acquire 1,500,000 shares of common stock and reissue 4 year new warrants to acquire 2,250,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.20 per share subject to full ratchet anti-dilution in the event that the Company issues any securities at a per share price lower than the exercise price then in effect.

On April 5, 2019, the Company entered into a Second Forbearance and Exchange Agreement (the “Second Agreement”) whereby the Company agreed to exchange the original note for a new note with a principal amount of $300,000 and 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (see Note 6). The new note holder is Spherix Incorporated (“Spherix”). If the Company failed to pay the outstanding principal and accrued interest under the new note by August 26, 2019, then the principal of the new note shall be increased to an amount equal to 150% of the then principal amount or equal to $450,000. The Company did not make the payment by August 26, 2019 however, the Company and Spherix entered into a new agreement (Securities and Purchase Agreement) on October 1, 2019 as discussed below. As such, the 150% increase in principal did not occur. The annual interest rate for the new note is 18%. The note holder shall have the right to convert any outstanding unpaid principal amount and accrued interest under the new note into the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to $0.20 per share. The conversion price, however, is subject to full ratchet anti-dilution in the event that the Company issues any securities at a per share price lower than the conversion price then in effect. Pursuant to the Second Agreement, the Company also granted the note holder a put to require the Company to purchase 200,000 shares of common stock from the note holder for a price of $1.50 upon the occurrence of a certain events such as the sales of any assets, grants of any licenses, consummates any offering in exchange for cash or other consideration or otherwise any event in which the Company receives any cash payment or consideration as defined in the Second Agreement.

The Company valued the 2,000,000 shares of common of stock at the fair value of $4,000,000 or $2.00 per share based on the recent sales price of common stock in a private placement during that time. Additionally, the Company determined any incremental expense from the warrant modification which resulted in an additional grant of 750,000 warrants with the same terms as the original warrant issuance. Each additional warrant was valued on the grant date at approximately $1.87 per warrant or a total of $1,400,569 using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: stock price at valuation date of $2.00 based on recent sales price of common stock in a private placement during that time, exercise price of $0.20, dividend yield of zero, expected term of 4.00 years, a risk free rate of 2.47%, and expected volatility of 89% using volatilities of similar companies . In connection with the Second Agreement, the Company accounted for the fair value of the issuance of 2,000,000 shares of common stock and 750,000 additional warrants using guidance in ASC 407-50-40 Debt Modification and Extinguishments and recorded loss on debt extinguishment of $5,400,569 during the year ended December 31, 2019.

Additionally, in accordance with ASU 2017-11, the down round feature relating to the conversion feature whereby the conversion price is subject to full ratchet anti-dilution in the event that the Company issues any securities at a per share price lower than the conversion price then in effect is no longer classified as a liability and embedded conversion option with down round features are no longer bifurcated. The Company shall recognize the value of the effect of a down round feature in an equity-classified freestanding financial instrument each time it is triggered.

On October 1, 2019, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Spherix. The Company agreed to purchase back the 2,250,000 warrants and 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock currently owned by Spherix and pay-off the $300,000 convertible note (collectively “Securities”) in consideration for cash purchase price of $250,000 to be paid in five equal installments of $50,000 at the end of each calendar month commencing October 31, 2019. As continuing collateral security for the Company’s obligation to pay the purchase price installments, the Company hereby pledges and assigns to Spherix a continuing security interest in the Securities. The Company paid a total of $100,000 towards this agreement which has been recorded as an advance deposit on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2019. Additionally, Spherix agreed to defer the December 31, 2019 installment payment at the Company’s request in exchange for the issuance of 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (see Note 6). The December 31, 2019 installment payment was paid in February 2020 increasing the total paid towards this agreement to $150,000 which is recorded in advanced deposits as of June 30, 2020. The Company expects to pay the remaining balance of $100,000 before the calendar year end.
