(UNAUDITED)
Note 1 - Organization and Nature of Business
Gopher Protocol Inc., (f/k/a Forex International Trading Corp., the "Company", "we", "us", "our" or "Gopher") was incorporated on July 22, 2009, under the laws of the State of Nevada and is headquartered in Perris, California. On September 9, 2009, the Company filed a Form S-1 Registration Statement to provide for the registration of securities under the Securities Act of 1933. Currently and going forward the company is a consumer heuristic technology platform that connects consumers with the products or services they need. In the past it had been principally engaged in offering consulting for foreign currency market trading to non-US resident clients, professionals and retail clients
On May 1, 2014, the Company stock was moved from OTCQB to OTC Pink Sheets due to the new OTCQB $.01 closing bid price requirement. From May1, 2014 to July 18, 2014, the Company stock traded both on OTCBB and on OTC Pink Sheets. On July 18, 2014, the last broker quoting the Company stock on the OTCBB had removed their quote, resulting in the company no longer trading on OTCBB from that date.
On August 13, 2014, the Company filed a definitive Information Statement Pursuant to Section 14 (c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for the following purposes:
· | The amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the “Articles of Incorporation”) to increase the Company’s authorized Common Stock from 400,000,000 shares to 2,000,000,000 shares, par value $0.00001 |

Effective February 17, 2015, the Company filed with the State of Nevada a Certificate of Change to effect a reverse stock split of its outstanding and authorized shares of common stock at a ratio of 1 for 1,000 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The effective date of the Reverse Stock Split was February 24, 2015.

In addition, the Company filed Articles of Merger (the "Articles") with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada to effectuate a name change. The Articles were filed to effectuate a merger between Gopher Protocol Inc., a Nevada corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and the Company, with the Company being the surviving entity.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Presentation and Basis of Financial Statements
The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of Gopher Protocol, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiary, DirectJV Investments, Inc. (together “Gopher” or the Company”), and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in the accompanying financial statements include depreciable lives of property and equipment, valuation of beneficial conversion feature debt discounts, valuation of derivatives, and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid financial instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company has no cash and cash equivalent as of March 31, 2015.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost and the related depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred. Renewals and betterments are capitalized. Upon the sale or retirement of an asset, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is recognized in the results of operations.
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the estimated life of the asset or the lease term.
As required by U.S. GAAP for long-lived assets, the Company evaluates the fair value of its property and equipment on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Any impairment of value is recognized when the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. There were no impairment losses for the period ended March 31, 2015 and the fiscal year December 31, 2014.
Fair value measurements
Financial instruments and certain non-financial assets and liabilities are measured at their fair value as determined based on the assets highest and best use. GAAP has established a framework for measuring fair value that is based on a hierarchy that requires that the valuation technique used be based on the most objective inputs available for measuring a particular asset or liability. There are three broad levels in the fair value hierarchy that describe the degree of objectivity of the inputs used to determine fair value. The fair value hierarchy is set forth below:
Level 1 — inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) 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.
8 |
Level 3 — inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. They are based on best information available in the absence of level 1 and 2 inputs.
The carrying value of financial instruments, which include cash, notes receivable, notes payable, and accrued expenses, approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.
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. During 2011, the Company bought back 8 post-split shares (38,000 pre-split) shares of its own shares. On December 31, 2014, the Company returned 40,000 post-split shares (200,000,000 pre-split shares) to treasury in connection with the dissolution of the licensing agreement with Micrologic. Micrologic holds no shares as of March 31, 2015.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB Codification Topic 740-10-25 (“ASC 740-10-25”) Income Taxes. Under ASC 740-10-25, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740-10-25, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount of tax benefits expected to be realized.
U.S. GAAP requires that, in applying the liability method, the financial statement effects of an uncertain tax position be recognized based on the outcome that is more likely than not to occur. Under this criterion the most likely resolution of an uncertain tax position should be analyzed based on technical merits and on the outcome that would likely be sustained under examination. The Company had no uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2014. The Company is current on its tax return filing, and its 2014 tax returns been filed.
The Company's federal income tax returns are no longer subject to examination by the IRS for the years prior to 2010, and the related state income tax returns are no longer subject to examination by state authorities for the years prior to 2010.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognized revenue on arrangements in accordance with FASB Codification Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition” (“ASC Topic 605”). Under ASC Topic 605, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. We had revenue of $22,500 and $30,000 for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
During the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2015, 100% of the Company’s revenue was related to consulting services provided to one company in the foreign exchange business.
Derivative Financial Instruments
Fair value accounting requires bifurcation of embedded derivative instruments such as conversion features in convertible debt or equity instruments, and measurement of their fair value for accounting purposes. In determining the appropriate fair value, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. In assessing the convertible debt instruments, management determines if the convertible debt host instrument is conventional convertible debt and further if there is a beneficial conversion feature requiring measurement. If the instrument is not considered conventional convertible debt, the Company will continue its evaluation process of these instruments as derivative financial instruments.
Once determined, derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each reporting period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as an adjustment to fair value of derivatives. In addition, the fair value of freestanding derivative instruments such as warrants, are also valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
In accordance with accounting guidance now codified as FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share,” Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential of shares of common stock outstanding during the period including stock options or warrants, using the treasury stock method (by using the average stock price for the period to determine the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants), and convertible debt or convertible preferred stock, using the if-converted method. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential of shares of common stock if their effect is anti-dilutive. Because of the Company’s net losses, the effects of stock options, convertible notes, and convertible preferred stock would be anti-dilutive and accordingly, is excluded from the computation of earnings per share. Diluted loss per share has not been computed for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2014 because any potential additional common shares would reduce the reported loss per share and therefore have an antidilutive effect.

Note 3 - Liquidity and Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company sustained net losses of $11,781 and used cash in operating activities of $nil for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2015. The Company had a working capital deficit of $84,000, stockholders’ deficit of $79,944 and accumulated deficit of $2,423,811, respectively, at March 31, 2015. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The Company is dependent upon its ability to generate revenues and its ability to continue receiving investment capital and loans from third parties to sustain its current level of operations. The Company is in the process of securing working capital from investors for common stock, convertible notes payable, and/or strategic partnerships. No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in these efforts.
The financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue to function as a going concern, and do not include adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Based on the Company’s operating plan, existing working capital at March 31, 2015 was insufficient to meet cash requirements to support Company operations through December 31, 2015.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Note 4 - Investments, Acquisitions, and Divestiture
Joint Venture – Vulcan Oil & Gas Inc.
On February 13, 2012, Direct JV Investments Inc. ("JV"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company entered into a Joint Venture Agreement (the "JV Agreement") with Vulcan Oil & Gas Inc. ("Vulcan"), whereby the Company would from time to time provide financing to certain Vulcan alternative, green and solar energy projects (the "Projects") with the goal of sharing in any rebates awarded by the government on any of the Projects. Pursuant to the JV Agreement, JV provided Vulcan with $68,000 in cash (the Funding") and credit for inventory valued at $31,328 for a total investment value of $99,328 (the "Investment").
On January 7, 2013, effective December 31, 2012, the Company, JV and Vulcan entered into an agreement pursuant to which the JV Agreement was terminated. The Company issued to Vulcan a 4% convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $500,000 (the "Forex Note") and Vulcan issued to the Company a 10% Secured and Collateralized Promissory Note in the principal amount of $400,000 (the "Vulcan Note" and collectively with the Forex Note, the "Notes") in consideration of the Forex Note. The Investment of $99,328 was written off as of December 31, 2012. After closing the Notes and recording of the difference as a debt discount, there are no further balances due between the parties and the JV Agreement is null and void.
The Forex Note maturity date is December 31, 2013, was extended by the Company for an additional one year at which point the 4% interest rate will increase to 10% per annum. The Forex Note is currently in default. The Forex Note conversion price is the Variable Conversion Price, which is defined as 50% multiplied by the average of the lowest three trading prices of the Company's common stock on the OTCBB during the 10-day trading period ending on the latest complete day of trading on the OTCBB prior to the date of conversion. The Variable Conversion Price cannot be less than $0.002. At no time will Vulcan convert any amount of the Forex Note into common stock that would result in Vulcan owning more than 4.9% of the common stock outstanding of the Company.
The Vulcan Note has a 10% one-time interest charge on the principal sum. The interest rate will be increased by an additional 4% per annum (e.g. 14% per annum) in the event the principal is not paid by the December 31, 2014 maturity date.
In November 2014 the Company and the holder of the Vulcan note entered into settlement agreement terminate any and all agreements between them and to resolve all disputes existing between them, which are the subject of Holder’s draft complaint which has yet to be filed, upon the terms and conditions of which the Company will issue the Holder 1,000,000 shares of common stock (the “Settlement Shares”) at a cost basis of $0.12 per share representing aggregate consideration of $120,000 (the “Settlement Amount”). The stock certificate representing the Settlement Shares shall bear the standard 1933 Act restrictive legend. Holder, at its sole option, at any time prior to June 30, 2015, may convert the Settlement Shares into Series D Preferred Shares with a stated value of $120,000, a conversion price of $0.12 and liquidation and dividend rights to be determined. As of December 31, 2014, the note and accrued interest balance was $0.

c) Issuance of note payable to third party
On July 24, 2013, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with a third party financing source ("Financer 1"), for the issuance of an 8% convertible note in the principal amount of $42,500 (the "July 2013 Note"), of which $2,500 was for legal fees associated with the transaction. The financing closed on July 31, 2013.
The July 2013 Note bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum. All interest and principal must be repaid on April 29, 2014. The July 2013 Note is convertible into common stock, at Financer’s option, at the greater of a 42% discount to the average of the three lowest closing bid prices of the common stock during the 10 trading day period prior to conversion or $0.00009. In the event the Company prepays the July 2013 Note in full, the Company is required to pay to Financer an amount in cash equal to all principal, interest and any other amounts owing multiplied by (i) 112% if prepaid during the period commencing on the closing date through 30 days thereafter, (ii) 121% if prepaid 31 days following the closing through 60 days following the closing and (iii) 126% if prepaid 61 days following the closing through 90 days following the closing and (iv) 131% if prepaid 91 days following the closing through 120 days following the closing and (v) 136% if prepaid 121 days following the closing through 150 days following the closing and (vi) 141% if prepaid 151 days following the closing through 180 days following the closing. After the expiration of 180 days following the date of the Note, the Company has no right of prepayment. Financer has agreed to restrict its ability to convert the July 2013 Note and receive shares of common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by them in the aggregate and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The total net proceeds the Company received from this offering were $42,500, less $2,500 in attorney’s fees. As of the date of the July 2013 Note, the Company is obligated on the Note issued to Financer in connection with the offering. The July 2013 Note is a debt obligation arising other than in the ordinary course of business, which constitutes a direct financial obligation of the Company. The Company claims an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") for the private placement of these securities pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Act and/or Regulation D promulgated there under since, among other things, the transaction did not involve a public offering, Financer is an accredited investor, Financer had access to information about the Company and their investment, Financer took the securities for investment and not resale, and the Company took appropriate measures to restrict the transfer of the securities.
In April 2014, Financier converted the entire remaining note balance, and released the company from its debt, which is a zero balance. In June of 2014, the Company issued another note to the Financier payable for $32,500 (“June 2014 Note”), of which $2,500 was for legal fees associated with the transaction. The terms of the new note were similar to the terms described above, with a maturity of March 5, 2015.
The June 2014 Note bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum. All interest and principal must be repaid on maturity. The June 2014 Note is convertible into common stock, at Financer’s option, at the greater of a 42% discount to the average of the three lowest closing bid prices of the common stock during the 10 trading day period prior to conversion or $0.00001. In the event the Company prepays the June 2014 Note in full, the Company is required to pay to Financer an amount in cash equal to all principal, interest and any other amounts owing multiplied by (i) 112% if prepaid during the period commencing on the closing date through 30 days thereafter, (ii) 121% if prepaid 31 days following the closing through 60 days following the closing and (iii) 126% if prepaid 61 days following the closing through 90 days following the closing and (iv) 131% if prepaid 91 days following the closing through 120 days following the closing and (v) 136% if prepaid 121 days following the closing through 150 days following the closing and (vi) 141% if prepaid 151 days following the closing through 180 days following the closing. After the expiration of 180 days following the date of the Note, the Company has no right of prepayment.
Financer has agreed to restrict its ability to convert the June 2014 Note and receive shares of common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by them in the aggregate and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The total net proceeds the Company received from this offering were $32,500, less $2,500 in attorney’s fees pursuant to the terms of this convertible agreement. As of the date of the June 2014 Note, the Company is obligated on the Note issued to Financer in connection with the offering. The June 2014 Note is a debt obligation arising other than in the ordinary course of business, which constitutes a direct financial obligation of the Company.
The Company claims an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") for the private placement of these securities pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Act and/or Regulation D promulgated there under since, among other things, the transaction did not involve a public offering, Financer is an accredited investor, Financer had access to information about the Company and their investment, Financer took the securities for investment and not resale, and the Company took appropriate measures to restrict the transfer of the securities.
In 2014, the Company accrued $1,734 of interest in connection with the July 2013 Note and the June 2014 Note. As of December 31, 2014, the June 2014 Note is in default. The balance at March 31, 2015 is $21,330 and accrued interest is $955; the note payable balance was reduced by $12,629 due to conversions in the first quarter. During the first fiscal quarter of 2015, Financier 1 sold the note to a third party in a deal to which the Company was not a party.

d) Third Party Note Payable
On May 13, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with a third party financing source ("Financier 2"), for the issuance of an 8% convertible note in the principal amount of $147,625 (the "May 2014 Note"). In conjunction with the issuance of the May 2014 Note, an existing note holder (Rasel, owner of the Rasel Notes) agreed to have the proceeds of the May 2014 Note used to offset the amounts owed to them as evidenced by the Assignment of Convertible Debenture agreement dated May 12, 2014, between the holders of the Rasel Notes and Financier 2. The Assignment of Convertible Debenture agreement calls for the Financier 2 to make two payments of $73,812.50 each to the existing note holder (Rasel Notes). On May 13, 2014, the Financier 2 made the first payment to the existing note holder (Rasel Notes), however, Financier 2 defaulted on their obligation to make the second payment per the Assignment of Convertible Debenture agreement. As a result, the Company and Financier 2 have mutually agreed to release Financier 2 from its’ obligation for the second payment, and the other half of the note in the amount of $73,812.50 reverted back to Rasel.
The May 2014 Note bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum. All interest and principal must be repaid on September 1, 2014. The May 2104 Note is convertible into common stock, at Financer 2’s option, at the greater of a 42% discount to the average of the three lowest closing bid prices of the common stock during the 10 trading day period prior to conversion or $0.0001.
Financer 2 has agreed to restrict its ability to convert the May 2014 Note and receive shares of common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by them in the aggregate and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock. As of the date of the May 2014 Note, the Company is obligated on the Note issued to Financer 2 in connection with the offering. The May 2014 Note is a debt obligation arising other than in the ordinary course of business, which constitutes a direct financial obligation of the Company.
The Company claims an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") for the private placement of these securities pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Act and/or Regulation D promulgated there under since, among other things, the transaction did not involve a public offering, Financer is an accredited investor, Financer had access to information about the Company and their investment, Financer took the securities for investment and not resale, and the Company took appropriate measures to restrict the transfer of the securities.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, Financier 2 converted 64,400 post-split (322,000,000 pre-split) shares at an average valuation of approximately $0.98 on a post-split basis. The Company has accrued $957 in interest expense in 2014 in connection with this note. As of December 31, 2014, the balance of the note including accrued interest is $8,592. At March 31, 2015, the balance is zero, due to conversions in the amount of the balance owed during the quarter.
e) Convertible note payable to Blackbridge
On June 16, 2014, the Company entered into a set of agreements (collectively, the “Blackbridge Agreement”) with Blackbridge, a financial services firm. The Company and Blackbridge were discussing an equity line of credit, and the Company agreed to pay Blackbridge a commitment fee of 90,000,000 shares (18,000 shares post-split), and also issued a convertible note for $90,000 having a 5% interest rate that matures on December 16, 2014. The note can be converted after the maturity date. The conversion price is 90% multiplied by the market price, which is defined in the agreement as the lowest of the daily trading price for the common stock during the twenty (20) trading day period ending on the latest complete trading day prior to the conversion date.
The` Company computed the fair value of the conversion feature at the commitment date, based on the following management assumptions:
Expected dividends | 0% |
Expected volatility | 298% |
Expected term: conversion feature | 183 days |
Risk free interest rate | 0.11% |
The fair value of the embedded conversion option on the commitment date was $7,238. The Company recorded a related debt discount of $7,238, which is amortized over the life of the debt. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, the Company amortized $7,238 of debt discount.
At December 31, 2014, the Company remeasured the derivative liability and recorded a fair value of $0 due to the loan being in default. As a result of the remeasurement, the Company recorded a change in fair value associated with this derivative liability as an expense totaling $7,238 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.
14 |
The Company does not believe that the debt is valid, but has accrued the notes on its financial statements to be conservative. The reason that it does not believe the Blackbridge Agreement to be valid is that the parties agreed at the time that the Blackbridge Agreement was signed that it would take 90-120 days to file an S-1 to register the shares needed for the equity line of credit and that such commitment fee would not be payable until such time. The Blackbridge Agreement states, however, that the Company has only 60 days from the date that the Agreement was signed to file an S-1 to register the shares, which the parties agreed was an impossible requirement to meet. The failure to meet that requirement was an event of default in the Blackbridge Agreement, and the counterparty, which could terminate the Blackbridge Agreement at its sole discretion, did not grant a waiver of this clause, despite knowing that that requirement was unrealistic, particularly given the Company’s thin cash position. The inability to register the shares within the required timeframe guaranteed the default of the Company under the Blackbridge Agreement from the outset. As such, the Company believes that said Agreement is null and void, because it lacked the capacity to perform under the Blackbridge.
In 2014, the Company accrued $2,451 of interest expense associated with this note; an additional $397 of interest was accrued during the first quarter of 2015. As of March 31, 2015, the balance is zero, as the Company issued 4,843,398 shares to Blackbridge to satisfy the balance at the time of conversion of $92,848.
f) Convertible Note Payable
On January 7, 2013, effective December 31, 2012, the Company, JV and Vulcan entered an agreement pursuant to which the JV Agreement was terminated, the Company issued to Vulcan a 4% convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $500,000 (the "Forex Note") and Vulcan issued to the Company a 10% Secured and Collateralized Promissory Note in the principal amount of $400,000. The Company recognized a debt discount in the amount of $100,000 for the difference in the face value of the note issued and the note received from the same party. The face value of the note payable is shown net of the debt discount. This debt discount will be amortized over the one-year life of the note. The note has a maturity date of December 31, 2013, and can be extended by the Company for an additional one year at which point the 4% interest rate will increase to 10% per annum. The Forex Note may be prepaid without penalty. The Forex Note conversion price is the Variable Conversion Price, which is defined as 50% multiplied by the average of the lowest three trading prices of the Company's common stock on the OTCBB during the 10-day trading period ending on the latest complete day of trading on the OTCBB prior to the date of conversion. The Variable Conversion Price cannot be less than $0.002 ($10,00 on a post-split basis). At no time will Vulcan convert any amount of the Forex Note into common stock that would result in Vulcan owning more than 4.99% of the common stock outstanding of the Company.
As of December 31, 2013, the entire debt discount has been amortized in the accompanying financial statements, and $20,000 of interest expense was accrued during the year ended December 31, 2013. An additional $43,561 of interest expense was accrued in fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. The Company is negotiating an offset of the Forex Note against the note receivable from Vulcan as final satisfaction, and will recognize a gain or loss on its financial statements at that time.
On November 14, 2014 the Company and the holder of the Vulcan note entered into settlement agreement terminate any and all agreements between them and to resolve all disputes existing between them, which are the subject of Holder’s draft complaint which has yet to be filed, upon the terms and conditions of which the Company will issue the Holder post-split 1,000,000 shares of common stock (the “Settlement Shares”) at a cost basis of $0.12 per share representing aggregate consideration of $120,000 (the “Settlement Amount”). The stock certificate representing the Settlement Shares shall bear the standard 1933 Act restrictive legend. Holder, at its sole option, at any time prior to June 30, 2015, may convert the Settlement Shares into Series D Preferred Shares with a stated value of $120,000, a conversion price of $0.12 and liquidation and dividend rights to be determined. As of March 31, 2015, the note balance is zero.

("GV Global") pursuant to which GV Global exchanged $75,273 in debt into a 10% Convertible Debenture in the principal amount of $75,273 (the "GV Note"). The GV Note matures January 21, 2017 (the "Maturity Date") and interest associated with the GV Note is 10% per annum, which is payable on the Maturity Date. The GV Note is convertible into shares of common stock of the Company, at the option of GV Global, at a conversion price of $0.00752734. GV Global has agreed to restrict its ability to convert the GV 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 or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The GV Note was issued to GV Global in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) under the Securities Act of 1933. GV Global is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933. In addition, on March 2, 2015, the Company and GV Global Communications, Inc. ("GV") amended that certain 10% Convertible Debenture (the "GV Debenture") which debt underlying the GV Debenture was initially incurred on October 6, 2009 and exchanged for the GV Debenture on January 19, 2014. The parties agreed that the conversion price in the GV Debenture would not be impacted by the 1:1,000 stock split implemented by the Company on February 24, 2015 and will remain $0.0075273. Beneficial Conversion Feature (“BCF”) in the amount of 75,273 was fully amortized from the note balance.

Each share of Series C Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of GV, into such number of shares of common stock of the Company as determined by dividing the Stated Value (as defined below) by the Conversion Price (as defined below). The Conversion Price for each share is equal to a 50% discount to the average of the lowest three lowest closing bid prices of the Company’s common stock during the 10 day trading period prior to the conversion with a minimum conversion price of $0.002. The stated value is $11.00 per share (the “Stated Value”). The Series C Preferred Stock has no liquidation preference, does not pay dividends and the holder of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share of common stock that the Series C Preferred Stock shall be convertible into. GV has contractually agreed to restrict its ability to convert the Series C Preferred Stock and receive shares of the Company's common stock such that the number of shares of the Company's common stock held by it and its affiliates after such conversion does not exceed 4.9% of the then issued and outstanding shares of the Company's common stock.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, GV Global Communications, Inc converted 7,770 of its Series C Preferred Stock into 12,010 post split (64,551,667 common shares pre-split). During the third quarter of 2014, the Company received 4,204 post-split (21,021,900 pre-split) common shares to adjust the shares issued to reflect the amount that both they and the Company believed that they were owed.

Pursuant to the License Agreement, Hermes will license to the Company, on an exclusive basis in the State of California, certain intellectual property relating to Hermes's system and method for scheduling categorized deliverables, according to demand, at the customer's location based on smartphone application and/or via the internet, in consideration of 100,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock of the Company (the "Preferred Shares"). The preferred stock has a value of $ 1,000 based upon the cost of the license, due to the holder of license is the related party of the Company. The Preferred Shares have no liquidation rights. The Holder of the Preferred Shares will be entitled to vote on all matters submitted to shareholders of the Company on an as-converted basis. The Preferred Shares have a conversion price of $0.01 (the "Conversion Price") and a stated value of $10.00 per share (the "Stated Value"). Subject to the Company increasing its authorized shares of common stock to 500,000,000, each Preferred Share is convertible, at the option of the Holder, into such number of shares of common stock of the Company as determined by dividing the Stated Value by the Conversion Price. The issuance of the Preferred Shares was made in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 506 promulgated under Regulation D thereunder. Hermes is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.

The stock certificate representing the Settlement Shares shall bear the standard 1933 Act restrictive legend. Holder, at its sole option, at any time prior to June 30, 2015, may convert the Settlement Shares into Series D Preferred Shares with a stated value of $120,000, a conversion price of $0.12 and liquidation and dividend rights to be determined.

Note 11 - Contingencies
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 June 16, 2014, the Company entered into a set of agreements (collectively, the “Blackbridge Agreement”) with Blackbridge, a financial services firm. The Company and Blackbridge were discussing an equity line of credit, and the Company agreed to pay Blackbridge a commitment fee of 90,000,000 shares (18,000 shares post-split), and also issued a convertible note for $90,000 having a 5% interest rate that matures on December 16, 2014. The note can be converted after the maturity date. The conversion price is 90% multiplied by the market price, which is defined in the agreement as the lowest of the daily trading price for the common stock during the twenty (20) trading day period ending on the latest complete trading day prior to the conversion date. The Company does not believe that the debt is valid and alleged that Blackbridge designed a contract as a fraud, but has accrued the notes on its financial statements to be conservative. The reason that it does not believe Agreement to be valid is that the parties agreed at the time that the agreement was signed that it would take 90-120 days to file an S-1 to register the shares needed for the equity line of credit. The Agreement states, however, that the Company has only 60 days from the date that the Agreement was signed to file an S-1 to register the shares, which the parties agreed was an impossible requirement to meet. The failure to meet that requirement was an event of default in the Agreement, and the counterparty, which could terminate the Agreement at its sole discretion, did not grant a waiver of this clause, despite knowing that that requirement was unrealistic, particularly given the Company’s thin cash position. The inability to register the shares within the required timeframe guaranteed the default of the Company under the Agreement from the outset. As such, the Company believes that said Agreement is therefore null and void, because the Company lacked the capacity at the outset to perform under the Agreement. During the first quarter of 2015, Blackbridge received 4,843,398 pre-split shares to satisfy its outstanding balance for the commitment fee of $92,848 including accrued interest. The obligation has been fully satisfied as of March 31, 2015.
Note 12 - Per Share Information
Loss per share
Basic loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted loss per share of common stock (“Diluted EPS”) is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock and dilutive common stock equivalents and convertible securities then outstanding. At March 31, 2015 and 2014, there were 125,024,890 and 116,901,296, of potentially dilutive pre-split common stock equivalents outstanding, respectively. The potentially dilutive common stock equivalents at March 31, 2015 arise from (i) the issuance on December 7, 2011 of 45,000 Series B Preferred Shares which are convertible into 15,000,000 common shares, (ii) the issuance of 10,000 Series C Preferred Shares having a stated value of $100 per share, of which 700 shares remain unconverted, which remaining unconverted shares are convertible into 3,086 pre-split common shares, given recent market prices, and notwithstanding a restriction against owning more than 4.99% of the Company’s stock, (iii) the issuance of a note to a third party Financier, which based on a theoretical conversion at December 31, 2014 would have converted into pre-split 21,804 shares of common stock, and (iv) the issuance of a note payable to GV Global which based on hypothetical conversion at March 31, 2015 would have converted into 10,000,000 pre-split common shares, and (v) the issuance of 100,000 Series D Preferred Shares worth $120,000 to Vulcan, which given hypothetical conversion at March 31, 2015 would have converted to 100,000,000 pre-split shares. The potentially dilutive common stock equivalents at March 31, 2014 arise from (i) the issuance on December 7, 2011 of 45,000 Series B Preferred Shares which are convertible into 15,000,000 pre-split common shares, (ii) the issuance of the Rasel note which is convertible into 234,630 pre-split shares, (iii) the issuance of 10,000 Series C Preferred Shares having a stated value of $100 per share which are convertible into 18,333,333 pre-split common shares, had they been converted at or around March 31, 2014 and notwithstanding a restriction against owning more than 4.99% of the Company’s stock, and (iv) the issuance of a $500,000 convertible note payable to Vulcan, which would have been convertible into pre-split 83,333,333 shares, given market prices at or around March 31, 2014, and notwithstanding a restriction against owning more than 4.99% of the Company’s stock. The computation of Diluted EPS does not assume exercise or conversion of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on the net loss per common share. Share amounts are shown in pre-split amounts (prior to the reverse split in October 2014) to facilitate comparison between the periods.

Results of Operations:
Fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014
A comparison of the statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 is as follows:
Revenues:
The following table summarizes our revenues for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2015 and 2014:
Fiscal quarter ended March 31,, | 2015 | 2014 | ||||||
Total revenues | $ | 22,500 | $ | 30,000 |
The Company was able to leverage its consulting expertise in the area of foreign exchange during the first fiscal quarter of 2014 and 2015. Revenue dropped 25% in the first quarter of 2015, compared to the prior period. Revenue derived from one customer in both cases, but fewer billable hours was billed to the customer during the current period.
Operating expenses:

Fiscal quarter ended March 31, | 2015 | 2014 | ||||||
Total operating expenses | $ | 26,450 | $ | 41,698 |

Total other income/expense | (7,831 | ) | 2,012 |
The Company had a note receivable from Vulcan at 10% per annum with a face value of $400,000, and therefore accrued $10,000 in the first quarter of 2014. In the first quarter of 2015, the Company expensed $397 in interest expense accrued under the note payable to Blackbridge for their commitment fee. The Company also expensed $1,402 in interest expense for the note payable to GV Global. The interest expense line also includes $7,012 which is a debt discount to the GV Global note payable.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our cash and cash equivalents were $nil and $nil for the periods ended March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. Cash flow from operations in the first period of 2015 was $nil, compared to $29,910. The reason for that difference is the numerous share issuances to dispose of debt in the most recent quarter. Cash flows used by financing activities was $nil in the first quarter of 2015, compared to $29,910 in the first quarter of 2014.
Our financial statements have been prepared on the basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of additional income and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. At March 31, 2015, the Company has a negative working capital of $84,000, and an accumulated deficit of $2,423,811. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
22 |
We plan to raise working capital that will allow us to conduct our business for the next twelve months. There is no guarantee regarding our ability to raise that capital. We expect to use the proceeds to fund our short-term capital requirements including paying administrative expenses associated with maintaining our public company’s filings for the next 12 months. In order to implement our business plan and pay various administrative expenses on a minimal basis for the next 12 months, we expect that we will need approximately $150,000. The Company expects that its operating results will fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter in the future and will depend on a number of factors including the state of the worldwide economy and financial markets, which are outside the Company's control.
Debt Financing Arrangements
At March 31, 2015 and as of December 31, 2014, notes payable and accrued interest consisted of:
a) Convertible Notes Payable
During 2010 and 2011, the Company borrowed $125,000 from Rasel Ltd. in consideration of the issuance of promissory notes. GV Communications Inc. ("GV Global") subsequently acquired the remaining portion of the notes. Approximately 50% of the note balance at December 31, 2013 ($73,812.50) was paid off in 2014. On January 22, 2015, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement with GV Global , which hold the 50% of the remaining balance of the note in default, pursuant to which GV Global exchanged $75,273 in debt into a 10% Convertible Debenture in the principal amount of $75,273 (the "GV Note"). The GV Note matures January 21, 2017 (the "Maturity Date") and interest associated with the GV Note is 10% per annum, which is payable on the Maturity Date. The GV Note is convertible into shares of common stock of the Company, at the option of GV Global, at a conversion price of $0.00752734. GV Global has agreed to restrict its ability to convert the GV 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 or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The GV Note was issued to GV Global in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) under the Securities Act of 1933. GV Global is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933. The Company has accrued $1,248 of interest expense in 2014 in connection with this note.

The Company has negotiated an extension to the maturity date until December 31, 2013. The balance at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, including accrued interest, is $0 and $43,464, respectively. The note was reduced for revenue during the fiscal quarter from the note holder.
On January 22, 2015, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement with Vladimir Kirish pursuant to which Mr. Kirish converted $197,717.22 in debt payable by the Company into post-split 50,000 restricted shares of common stock (the "Kirish Shares"). Mr. Kirish acquired the debt from a third party. The Kirish Shares were issued to Mr. Kirish in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) under the Securities Act of 1933. Mr. Kirish is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933. At March 31, 2015, the Company recognized a prepaid expense of $14,887 from Glendon, which sold its debt to a third party for $197,717 at December 31, 2014. This money is owed to the Company as the third party overpaid for the debt by the amount of the prepaid expense.
c) Issuance of note payable to third party
On July 24, 2013, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with a third party financing source ("Financer 1"), for the issuance of an 8% convertible note in the principal amount of $42,500 (the "July 2013 Note"), of which $2,500 was for legal fees associated with the transaction. The financing closed on July 31, 2013.
The July 2013 Note bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum. All interest and principal must be repaid on April 29, 2014. The July 2013 Note is convertible into common stock, at Financer’s option, at the greater of a 42% discount to the average of the three lowest closing bid prices of the common stock during the 10 trading day period prior to conversion or $0.00009. In the event the Company prepays the July 2013 Note in full, the Company is required to pay to Financer an amount in cash equal to all principal, interest and any other amounts owing multiplied by (i) 112% if prepaid during the period commencing on the closing date through 30 days thereafter, (ii) 121% if prepaid 31 days following the closing through 60 days following the closing and (iii) 126% if prepaid 61 days following the closing through 90 days following the closing and (iv) 131% if prepaid 91 days following the closing through 120 days following the closing and (v) 136% if prepaid 121 days following the closing through 150 days following the closing and (vi) 141% if prepaid 151 days following the closing through 180 days following the closing. After the expiration of 180 days following the date of the Note, the Company has no right of prepayment. Financer has agreed to restrict its ability to convert the July 2013 Note and receive shares of common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by them in the aggregate and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The total net proceeds the Company received from this offering were $42,500, less $2,500 in attorney’s fees. As of the date of the July 2013 Note, the Company is obligated on the Note issued to Financer in connection with the offering. The July 2013 Note is a debt obligation arising other than in the ordinary course of business, which constitutes a direct financial obligation of the Company. The Company claims an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") for the private placement of these securities pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Act and/or Regulation D promulgated there under since, among other things, the transaction did not involve a public offering, Financer is an accredited investor, Financer had access to information about the Company and their investment, Financer took the securities for investment and not resale, and the Company took appropriate measures to restrict the transfer of the securities.
23 |
In April 2014, Financier converted the entire remaining note balance, and released the company from its debt, which is a zero balance. In June of 2014, the Company issued another note to the Financier payable for $32,500 (“June 2014 Note”), of which $2,500 was for legal fees associated with the transaction. The terms of the new note were similar to the terms described above, with a maturity of March 5, 2015.
The June 2014 Note bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum. All interest and principal must be repaid on maturity. The June 2014 Note is convertible into common stock, at Financer’s option, at the greater of a 42% discount to the average of the three lowest closing bid prices of the common stock during the 10 trading day period prior to conversion or $0.00001. In the event the Company prepays the June 2014 Note in full, the Company is required to pay to Financer an amount in cash equal to all principal, interest and any other amounts owing multiplied by (i) 112% if prepaid during the period commencing on the closing date through 30 days thereafter, (ii) 121% if prepaid 31 days following the closing through 60 days following the closing and (iii) 126% if prepaid 61 days following the closing through 90 days following the closing and (iv) 131% if prepaid 91 days following the closing through 120 days following the closing and (v) 136% if prepaid 121 days following the closing through 150 days following the closing and (vi) 141% if prepaid 151 days following the closing through 180 days following the closing. After the expiration of 180 days following the date of the Note, the Company has no right of prepayment.
Financer has agreed to restrict its ability to convert the June 2014 Note and receive shares of common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by them in the aggregate and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The total net proceeds the Company received from this offering were $32,500, less $2,500 in attorney’s fees pursuant to the terms of this convertible agreement. As of the date of the June 2014 Note, the Company is obligated on the Note issued to Financer in connection with the offering. The June 2014 Note is a debt obligation arising other than in the ordinary course of business, which constitutes a direct financial obligation of the Company.
The Company claims an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") for the private placement of these securities pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Act and/or Regulation D promulgated there under since, among other things, the transaction did not involve a public offering, Financer is an accredited investor, Financer had access to information about the Company and their investment, Financer took the securities for investment and not resale, and the Company took appropriate measures to restrict the transfer of the securities.
In 2014, the Company accrued $1,734 of interest in connection with the July 2013 Note and the June 2014 Note. As of December 31, 2014, the June 2014 Note is in default. The balance at March 31, 2015 is $21,330; the note payable balance was reduced by $12,629 due to conversions in the first quarter. During the first fiscal quarter of 2015, Financier 1 sold the note to a third party in a deal to which the Company was not a party.
d) Third Party Note Payable
On May 13, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with a third party financing source ("Financier 2"), for the issuance of an 8% convertible note in the principal amount of $147,625 (the "May 2014 Note"). In conjunction with the issuance of the May 2014 Note, an existing note holder (Rasel, owner of the Rasel Notes) agreed to have the proceeds of the May 2014 Note used to offset the amounts owed to them as evidenced by the Assignment of Convertible Debenture agreement dated May 12, 2014, between the holders of the Rasel Notes and Financier 2. The Assignment of Convertible Debenture agreement calls for the Financier 2 to make two payments of $73,812.50 each to the existing note holder (Rasel Notes). On May 13, 2014, the Financier 2 made the first payment to the existing note holder (Rasel Notes), however, Financier 2 defaulted on their obligation to make the second payment per the Assignment of Convertible Debenture agreement. As a result, the Company and Financier 2 have mutually agreed to release Financier 2 from its’ obligation for the second payment, and the other half of the note in the amount of $73,812.50 reverted back to Rasel.
The May 2014 Note bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum. All interest and principal must be repaid on September 1, 2014. The May 2104 Note is convertible into common stock, at Financer 2’s option, at the greater of a 42% discount to the average of the three lowest closing bid prices of the common stock during the 10 trading day period prior to conversion or $0.0001.
Financer 2 has agreed to restrict its ability to convert the May 2014 Note and receive shares of common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by them in the aggregate and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock. As of the date of the May 2014 Note, the Company is obligated on the Note issued to Financer 2 in connection with the offering. The May 2014 Note is a debt obligation arising other than in the ordinary course of business, which constitutes a direct financial obligation of the Company.

The Company claims an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") for the private placement of these securities pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Act and/or Regulation D promulgated there under since, among other things, the transaction did not involve a public offering, Financer is an accredited investor, Financer had access to information about the Company and their investment, Financer took the securities for investment and not resale, and the Company took appropriate measures to restrict the transfer of the securities.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, Financier 2 converted 64,400 post-split (322,000,000 pre-split) shares at an average valuation of approximately $0.98 on a post-split basis. The Company has accrued $957 in interest expense in 2014 in connection with this note. As of December 31, 2014, the balance of the note including accrued interest is $8,592. At March 31, 2015, the balance is zero, due to conversions in the amount of the balance owed during the quarter.
e) Convertible note payable to Blackbridge
On June 16, 2014, the Company entered into a set of agreements (collectively, the “Blackbridge Agreement”) with Blackbridge, a financial services firm. The Company and Blackbridge were discussing an equity line of credit, and the Company agreed to pay Blackbridge a commitment fee of 90,000,000 shares (18,000 shares post-split), and also issued a convertible note for $90,000 having a 5% interest rate that matures on December 16, 2014. The note can be converted after the maturity date. The conversion price is 90% multiplied by the market price, which is defined in the agreement as the lowest of the daily trading price for the common stock during the twenty (20) trading day period ending on the latest complete trading day prior to the conversion date.
The` Company computed the fair value of the conversion feature at the commitment date, based on the following management assumptions:
Expected dividends | 0% |
Expected volatility | 298% |
Expected term: conversion feature | 183 days |
Risk free interest rate | 0.11% |
The fair value of the embedded conversion option on the commitment date was $7,238. The Company recorded a related debt discount of $7,238, which is amortized over the life of the debt. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, the Company amortized $7,238 of debt discount.
At December 31, 2014, the Company remeasured the derivative liability and recorded a fair value of $0 due to the loan being in default. As a result of the remeasurement, the Company recorded a change in fair value associated with this derivative liability as an expense totaling $7,238 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.
The Company does not believe that the debt is valid, but has accrued the notes on its financial statements to be conservative. The reason that it does not believe the Blackbridge Agreement to be valid is that the parties agreed at the time that the Blackbridge Agreement was signed that it would take 90-120 days to file an S-1 to register the shares needed for the equity line of credit and that such commitment fee would not be payable until such time. The Blackbridge Agreement states, however, that the Company has only 60 days from the date that the Agreement was signed to file an S-1 to register the shares, which the parties agreed was an impossible requirement to meet. The failure to meet that requirement was an event of default in the Blackbridge Agreement, and the counterparty, which could terminate the Blackbridge Agreement at its sole discretion, did not grant a waiver of this clause, despite knowing that that requirement was unrealistic, particularly given the Company’s thin cash position. The inability to register the shares within the required timeframe guaranteed the default of the Company under the Blackbridge Agreement from the outset. As such, the Company believes that said Agreement is null and void, because it lacked the capacity to perform under the Blackbridge.
In 2014, the Company accrued $2,451 of interest expense associated with this note; an additional $397 of interest was accrued during the first quarter of 2015. As of March 31, 2015, the balance is zero, as the Company issued 4,843,398 shares to Blackbridge to satisfy the balance at the time of conversion of $92,848.
f) Convertible Note Payable
On January 7, 2013, effective December 31, 2012, the Company, JV and Vulcan entered an agreement pursuant to which the JV Agreement was terminated, the Company issued to Vulcan a 4% convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $500,000 (the "Forex Note") and Vulcan issued to the Company a 10% Secured and Collateralized Promissory Note in the principal amount of $400,000. The Company recognized a debt discount in the amount of $100,000 for the difference in the face value of the note issued and the note received from the same party. The face value of the note payable is shown net of the debt discount. This debt discount will be amortized over the one-year life of the note. The note has a maturity date of December 31, 2013, and can be extended by the Company for an additional one year at which point the 4% interest rate will increase to 10% per annum. The Forex Note may be prepaid without penalty. The Forex Note conversion price is the Variable Conversion Price, which is defined as 50% multiplied by the average of the lowest three trading prices of the Company's common stock on the OTCBB during the 10-day trading period ending on the latest complete day of trading on the OTCBB prior to the date of conversion. The Variable Conversion Price cannot be less than $0.002 ($10,00 on a post-split basis). At no time will Vulcan convert any amount of the Forex Note into common stock that would result in Vulcan owning more than 4.99% of the common stock outstanding of the Company.
25 |
As of December 31, 2013, the entire debt discount has been amortized in the accompanying financial statements, and $20,000 of interest expense was accrued during the year ended December 31, 2013. An additional $43,561 of interest expense was accrued in fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. The Company is negotiating an offset of the Forex Note against the note receivable from Vulcan as final satisfaction, and will recognize a gain or loss on its financial statements at that time.
On November 14, 2014 the Company and the holder of the Vulcan note entered into settlement agreement terminate any and all agreements between them and to resolve all disputes existing between them, which are the subject of Holder’s draft complaint which has yet to be filed, upon the terms and conditions of which the Company will issue the Holder post-split 1,000,000 shares of common stock (the “Settlement Shares”) at a cost basis of $0.12 per share representing aggregate consideration of $120,000 (the “Settlement Amount”). The stock certificate representing the Settlement Shares shall bear the standard 1933 Act restrictive legend. Holder, at its sole option, at any time prior to June 30, 2015, may convert the Settlement Shares into Series D Preferred Shares with a stated value of $120,000, a conversion price of $0.12 and liquidation and dividend rights to be determined.
g) Convertible Note Payable
On January 22, 2015, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement with GV Global Communications Inc. ("GV Global") pursuant to which GV Global exchanged $75,273 in debt into a 10% Convertible Debenture in the principal amount of $75,273 (the "GV Note"). The GV Note matures January 21, 2017 (the "Maturity Date") and interest associated with the GV Note is 10% per annum, which is payable on the Maturity Date. The GV Note is convertible into shares of common stock of the Company, at the option of GV Global, at a conversion price of $0.00752734. GV Global has agreed to restrict its ability to convert the GV 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 or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The GV Note was issued to GV Global in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) under the Securities Act of 1933. GV Global is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933. In addition, on March 2, 2015, the Company and GV Global Communications, Inc. ("GV") amended that certain 10% Convertible Debenture (the "GV Debenture") which debt underlying the GV Debenture was initially incurred on October 6, 2009 and exchanged for the GV Debenture on January 19, 2014. The parties agreed that the conversion price in the GV Debenture would not be impacted by the 1:1,000 stock split implemented by the Company on February 24, 2015 and will remain $0.0075273.
On May 7, 2015 the Company issued via its transfer agent in aggregate 199,273 non-restricted common stocks par value 0.00001 to 4 (four) non-US persons, as a result of notice of conversion of the GV Global note for $1,500.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company's financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates
Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of our financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, the reported amounts and classification of revenues and expenses during the periods presented, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and material changes in these estimates or assumptions could occur in the future. Changes in estimates are recorded on the period in which they become known. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances and at that time, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates if past experience or other assumptions do not turn out to be substantially accurate.
We believe that the accounting policies described below are critical to understanding our business, results of operations, and financial condition because they involve significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements. An accounting is deemed to be critical if it requires a judgment or accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain, and if different estimates that could have been used, or if changes in the accounting estimates that are reasonably likely to occur periodically, could materially impact our financial statements. Other significant accounting policies, primarily those with lower levels of uncertainty than those discussed below, are also critical to understanding our financial statements. The notes to our financial statements contain additional information related to our accounting policies and should be read in conjunction with this discussion.

Presentation and Basis of Financial Statements
The accompanying audited condensed financial statements include the accounts of Gopher Protocol Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, DirectJV Investments, Inc. (together “Gopher” or the Company”) and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Presentation and Basis of Financial Statements
The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of Gopher Protocol, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiary, DirectJV Investments, Inc. (together “Gopher” or the Company”), and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in the accompanying financial statements include depreciable lives of property and equipment, valuation of beneficial conversion feature debt discounts, valuation of derivatives, valuation of share-based payments and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.
Cash
The Company considers all highly liquid financial instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Notes and Short-Term Receivable
The notes and short-term receivable are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company measures the impairment of loans based on its historical loan collection experience and existing economic conditions. Impairment is recognized when management believes it is probable that payments will not be received on some portion of the loan, which is determined on an individual loan basis. The Company evaluates loans for impairment on an annual basis or when there are indications that the loan may not be collected. When management determines that a loan is impaired it is placed on non-accrual status, and an allowance for loan losses is established to recognize the estimated amount of impairment. Payments received on non-accrual loans are generally applied to the outstanding principal balance. Loans are removed from non-accrual status when management believes that the borrower will resume making the payments required by the loan agreement.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost and the related depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred. Renewals and betterments are capitalized. Upon the sale or retirement of an asset, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is recognized in the results of operations.
As required by U.S. GAAP for long-lived assets, the Company evaluates the fair value of its property and equipment on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Any impairment of value is recognized when the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. There were no impairment losses for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015 and December 3, 2014.
Fair value measurements
Financial instruments and certain non-financial assets and liabilities are measured at their fair value as determined based on the assets highest and best use. GAAP has established a framework for measuring fair value that is based on a hierarchy that requires that the valuation technique used be based on the most objective inputs available for measuring a particular asset or liability. There are three broad levels in the fair value hierarchy that describe the degree of objectivity of the inputs used to determine fair value. The fair value hierarchy is set forth below:
Level 1 — inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
27 |
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. They are based on best information available in the absence of level 1 and 2 inputs.
The carrying value of financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable, notes payable, and accrued expenses, approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.
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. During 2011, the Company bought back 8 post-split shares (38,000 pre-split) shares of its own shares. On December 31, 2014, the Company returned 40,000 post-split shares (200,000,000 pre-split shares) to treasury in connection with the dissolution of the licensing agreement with Micrologic.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB Codification Topic 740-10-25 (“ASC 740-10-25”) Income Taxes. Under ASC 740-10-25, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740-10-25, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount of tax benefits expected to be realized.
U.S. GAAP requires that, in applying the liability method, the financial statement effects of an uncertain tax position be recognized based on the outcome that is more likely than not to occur. Under this criterion the most likely resolution of an uncertain tax position should be analyzed based on technical merits and on the outcome that would likely be sustained under examination. The Company had no uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2014. The Company is current with its tax filing, and filed 2014 tax returns.
The Company's federal income tax returns are no longer subject to examination by the IRS for the years prior to 2010, and the related state income tax returns are no longer subject to examination by state authorities for the years prior to 2010.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognized revenue on arrangements in accordance with FASB Codification Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition” (“ASC Topic 605”). Under ASC Topic 605, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. We had revenue of $22,500 and $120,000 for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.
During the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2015, 100% of the Company’s revenue was related to consulting services provided to one company in the foreign exchange business.
Derivative Financial Instruments
Fair value accounting requires bifurcation of embedded derivative instruments such as conversion features in convertible debt or equity instruments, and measurement of their fair value for accounting purposes. In determining the appropriate fair value, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. In assessing the convertible debt instruments, management determines if the convertible debt host instrument is conventional convertible debt and further if there is a beneficial conversion feature requiring measurement. If the instrument is not considered conventional convertible debt, the Company will continue its evaluation process of these instruments as derivative financial instruments.
Once determined, derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each reporting period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as an adjustment to fair value of derivatives. In addition, the fair value of freestanding derivative instruments such as warrants, are also valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
In accordance with accounting guidance now codified as FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share,” Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential of shares of common stock outstanding during the period including stock options or warrants, using the treasury stock method (by using the average stock price for the period to determine the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants), and convertible debt or convertible preferred stock, using the if-converted method. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential of shares of common stock if their effect is anti-dilutive. Because of the Company’s net losses, the effects of stock options, convertible notes, and convertible preferred stock would be anti-dilutive and accordingly, is excluded from the computation of earnings per share. Diluted loss per share has not been computed for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 because any potential additional common shares would reduce the reported loss per share and therefore have an antidilutive effect.

Dividends
The Company has not yet adopted any policy regarding payment of dividends. No dividends have been paid or declared since the Date of Inception.
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 and Chief Financial 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 and Chief Financial 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 and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
As a smaller reporting company, without a viable business and revenues, the Company does not have the resources to install a dedicated
staff with deep expertise in all facets of SEC disclosure and GAAP compliance. 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. 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, 2015, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
ITEM 1. 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 June 16, 2014, the Company entered into a set of agreements (collectively, the “Blackbridge Agreement”) with Blackbridge, a financial services firm. The Company and Blackbridge were discussing an equity line of credit, and the Company agreed to pay Blackbridge a commitment fee of 90,000,000 shares (18,000 shares post-split), and also issued a convertible note for $90,000 having a 5% interest rate that matures on December 16, 2014. The note can be converted after the maturity date. The conversion price is 90% multiplied by the market price, which is defined in the agreement as the lowest of the daily trading price for the common stock during the twenty (20) trading day period ending on the latest complete trading day prior to the conversion date. The Company does not believe that the debt is valid, but has accrued the notes on its financial statements to be conservative.

If the Company does not satisfy Blackbridge, the counterparty may litigate against the Company. There is the potential, though not the likelihood, of litigation in this dispute. During the first quarter of 2015, Blackbridge received 4,843,398 pre-split shares to satisfy its outstanding balance for the commitment fee of $92,848 including accrued interest. The obligation has been fully satisfied as of March 31, 2015.

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this item.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
Third Party Notes Payable
On January 22, 2015, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement with GV Global Communications Inc. ("GV Global") pursuant to which GV Global exchanged $75,273 in debt into a 10% Convertible Debenture in the principal amount of $75,273 (the "GV Note"). The GV Note matures January 21, 2017 (the "Maturity Date") and interest associated with the GV Note is 10% per annum, which is payable on the Maturity Date. The GV Note is convertible into shares of common stock of the Company, at the option of GV Global, at a conversion price of $0.00752734. GV Global has agreed to restrict its ability to convert the GV 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 or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The GV Note was issued to GV Global in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) under the Securities Act of 1933. GV Global is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933. In addition, on March 2, 2015, the Company and GV Global Communications, Inc. ("GV") amended that certain 10% Convertible Debenture (the "GV Debenture") which debt underlying the GV Debenture was initially incurred on October 6, 2009 and exchanged for the GV Debenture on January 19, 2014. The parties agreed that the conversion price in the GV Debenture would not be impacted by the 1:1,000 stock split implemented by the Company on February 24, 2015 and will remain $0.0075273.
On February 2, 2015, the Company's transfer agent issued Blackbridge Capital, LLC (“Blackbridge”) 4,843,398 shares of common stock (the “Blackbridge Shares”) upon Blackbridge submitting a conversion notice converting a Convertible Promissory Note (the “Blackbridge Note”) in the principal amount of $90,000 plus interest. The Blackbridge Shares were issued without a standard restrictive legend as Blackbridge delivered a legal opinion to remove the restrictive legend under Rule 144 together with the conversion note. The Company believes that Blackbridge was in breach of the agreements entered with the Company in June 2014. The Company is contemplating commencing litigation against Blackbridge in connection with this matter.
On March 4, 2015, the Company entered into a Territorial License Agreement (the "License Agreement") with Hermes Roll LLC ("Hermes"), a Nevada limited liability company currently being formed. Pursuant to the License Agreement, Hermes will license to the Company, on an exclusive basis in the State of California, certain intellectual property relating to Hermes's system and method for scheduling categorized deliverables, according to demand, at the customer's location based on smartphone application and/or via the internet, in consideration of 100,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock of the Company (the "Preferred Shares"). The Preferred Shares have no liquidation rights. The Holder of the Preferred Shares will be entitled to vote on all matters submitted to shareholders of the Company on an as-converted basis. The Preferred Shares have a conversion price of $0.01 (the "Conversion Price") and a stated value of $10.00 per share (the "Stated Value"). Subject to the Company increasing its authorized shares of common stock to 500,000,000, each Preferred Share is convertible, at the option of the Holder, into such number of shares of common stock of the Company as determined by dividing the Stated Value by the Conversion Price. The issuance of the Preferred Shares was made in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 506 promulgated under Regulation D thereunder. Hermes is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.

Other than an explanatory paragraph included in the Former Auditor’s audit report for the Registrant’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 relating to the uncertainty of the Registrant’s ability to continue as a going concern, the audit reports of the Former Auditor on the Registrant’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and such reports were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principle. During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 and through the date of this resignation, the Company has not had any disagreements with the Former Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the Former Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference thereto in their reports on the Company’s financial statements for such years.
On April 21, 2015 (the “Engagement Date”), the Company engaged Anton & Chia, LLP (“New Auditor”) as its independent registered public accounting firm for the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.

2. Any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Regulation S-K, Item 304(a)(1)(iv) and the related instructions) or reportable event (as defined in Regulation S-K, Item 304(a)(1)(v)).
