Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 (Unaudited)

Note 1 - Organization and Basis of Presentation

Organization and Line of Business

GBT Technologies Inc. (formerly Gopher Protocol Inc.) (the “Company”, “GBT”, or “GTCH”) was incorporated on July 22, 2009 under the laws of the State of Nevada. The Company is targeting growing markets such as development of Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) enabled networking and tracking technologies, including wireless mesh network technology platform and fixed solutions, development of an intelligent human body vitals device, asset-tracking IoT, and wireless mesh networks. Effective August 5, 2019, the Company changed its name from Gopher Protocol Inc. to GBT Technologies Inc. The Company derived revenues from (i) the provision of IT consulting services; and (ii) from selling electronic products through e-commerce platforms like Amazon and eBay.

On February 18, 2022, the Company, effective March 1, 2022 entered into a Revenue Sharing Agreement (“RSA”) with Mahaser LTD. (“Mahaser”) pursuant to which the Company acquired the opportunity to share in revenues generated by Mahaser with respect to e-commerce sales through the online retail platform in the United States of America. Mahaser owns an e-commerce platform as a store which is the legal, exclusive owner of Ravenholm Electronics. The Company will operate the e-commerce platform and will be entitled to 95% for all revenue generated by and received by Mahaser for the period from March 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022. The RSA provides that the Company will be entitled to appoint a manager to Mahaser. As consideration, the Company will pay Mahaser $100,000 no later than March 1, 2022 and issue Mahaser 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock. The Company shall have no obligations to make any further payments to Mahaser. For any further extensions, the Company will have the option to extend the RSA for annual payment of $200,000, which can be payable with the Company’s shares of common stock payable based on 20 days VWAP prior to issuance. On March 16, 2022 the parties entered into Amendment No. 1 to the RSA, where all consideration to be paid or issued to Mahaser will be deferred until such time where the e-commerce platform generated in cumulative revenue of $1,000,000. The Company accounts for the RSA as a consolidated variable interest entity (“VIE”) for the period ended March 31, 2022. On March 31, 2022, the parties entered into Amendment No. 2 to the RSA, where Mahaser agreed to pay the Company 100% per year for all revenue generated by and received by seller from the sales by Amazon within the United States of America as follows for the period from March 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022. The Company will be responsible for 100% of the cost of goods sold as well. In addition, the Company is entitled to earn 100% revenues and cost of goods sold of the test run period from February 1, 2022 to February 28, 2022. See note 2.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared by the Company, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management, are necessary to fairly state the Company’s financial position, the results of its operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally present in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America were omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the year ending December 31, 2022.

Basis of Presentation

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

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements 

Stock Splits

On October 26, 2021, the Company effectuated a 1 for 50 reverse stock split. The share and per share information has been retroactively restated to reflect this reverse stock split.

Going Concern

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $300,655,534 and has a working capital deficit of $24,309,786 as of March 31, 2022, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate profitable operations in the future and/or obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management has plans to seek additional capital through some private placement offerings of debt and equity securities. In addition, the Company entered into a Revenue Sharing Agreement in March 2022 and derived revenues from selling electronic products through e-commerce platforms like Amazon and eBay. These plans, if successful, will mitigate the factors which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected. Significant estimates in the accompanying financial statements include leases, valuation of derivatives and valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries; the Company’s 50% owned subsidiaries GBT BitSpeed Corp. and GBT Tokenize Corp; the Company’s 50% owned subsidiary, Gopher Protocol Costa Rica Sociedad De Responsabilidad Limitada (currently inactive), a wholly owned subsidiary, AltCorp Trading LLC, a Costa Rica company (“AltCorp”), Greenwich International Holdings, a Costa Rica corporation (“Greenwich”) and Mahaser Ltd., a variable interest entity. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

For entities determined to be VIEs, an evaluation is required to determine whether the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company evaluates its economic interests in the entity specifically determining if the Company has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance (“the power”) and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE (“the benefits”). When making the determination on whether the benefits received from an entity are significant, the Company considers the total economics of the entity, and analyzes whether the Company’s share of the economics is significant. The Company utilizes qualitative factors, and, where applicable, quantitative factors, while performing the analysis.

In addition, the Company’s variable interests in Mahaser obligate the Company to absorb deficits and provide it with the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to Mahaser. As a result of this analysis, the Company concluded that it is the primary beneficiary of Mahaser and therefore consolidates the balance sheets, results of operations and cash flows of Mahaser. The Company performs a qualitative assessment of Mahaser on an ongoing basis to determine if it continues to be the primary beneficiary.

Cash Equivalents

For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash equivalents include time deposits, certificate of deposits, and all highly-liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company did not have any cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash represents $375,000 as part of the SURG settlements proceeds that need to stay in escrow and $8,144 restricted cash that the court on January 28, 2022 awarded the Company with injunction against RWJ defendants, where all funds generating from resale should be deposited into GBT blocked account, and therefore RWJ defendants cannot use these funds without court order.

Cash Held in Trust

Cash held in trust consists of proceeds from the sale of investments. The proceeds less the payment of certain expenses are being held in AltCorp’s (the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary) attorney trust account. (See Note 4). The cash held in trust is readily available and there are no restrictions.as of March 31, 2022.

Investment Securities

The Company accounts for investment securities in accordance with ASC Topic 321, Investments – equity securities. Marketable equity securities are reported at fair value based on quotations available on securities exchanges with any unrealized gain or loss being reported as a component of other income (expense) on the statement of operations. The portion of marketable equity security expected to be sold within twelve months of the balance sheet date is reported as a current asset. These publicly traded equity securities are valued using quoted prices and are included in Level 1.

Inventory

Inventory consists of electronic product ready for sale on Amazon.com. It is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value and all inventories were returned product from online customers. We value our inventory using the weighted average costing method. Our Company’s policy is to include as a part of inventory any freight incurred to ship the product from our contract vendors to our warehouses. Outbound freights costs related to shipping costs to our customers are considered period costs and reflected in selling, general and administrative expenses. We regularly review inventory and consider forecasts of future demand, market conditions and product obsolescence.

Note Receivable

On September 18, 2020, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with Mr. LightHouse LTD., an Israeli corporation (“MLH”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell and assign to MLH, effective July 1, 2020 all the shares, and certain specified liabilities, of Ugopherservices Corp. (“UGO”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, in consideration of $100,000 to be paid through the delivery of a promissory note payable to the Company (the “Note”), upon the terms and subject to the limitations and conditions set forth in the Note. At December 31, 2020, the Company determined that this note receivable was not collectible and took an impairment charge of $100,000. During July 2021, MLH effected a $50,000 payment on the Note.

Stock Loan Receivable

On January 8, 2019, the Company entered into a Stock Pledge Agreement with Latin American Exchange Latinex Casa de Cambio, S.A., a Costa Rica corporation (“Latinex”), to provide that Latinex may maintain its required regulatory capital as required by various regulators. The Company has pledged 4,005 restricted shares of its common stock valued at $7,610,147 (based on the closing price on the grant date) for a term of three years in consideration of an annual payment of $375,000 paid in quarterly installments of $93,750. In lieu of cash payment, Latinex may pay the Company in virtual currency of WISE Network S.A. valued at a 50% discount of its offering price of $10 per token. In the event that Latinex’s required capital has decreased below $5,000,000, Latinex is permitted to sell the pledged shares of common stock only in an amount to ensure that Latinex can satisfy the required capital levels. The Company must consent to such sale of the shares of common stock, which may not be unreasonably withheld. Upon expiration of the agreement, the remaining shares of common stock shall be returned to the Company free and clear of all liens. The Company has recorded the value of these shares of common stock as a stock loan receivable which is presented as a contra-equity account in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. At December 31, 2019, the Company wrote off the accrued interest income as Latinex did not perform any payment and the Company has no mean to enforce this payment. Latinex agreed in principle to return the pledged 4,005 restricted shares to the Company for cancellation. The 4,005 restricted shares have not yet been returned to the Company as of March 31, 2022.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements 

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company evaluates all of its agreements to determine if such instruments have derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses a weighted-average Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company’s only derivative financial instrument was an embedded conversion feature associated with convertible notes payable due to certain provisions that allow for a change in the conversion price based on a percentage of the Company’s stock price at the date of conversion.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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

FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. FASB ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:

The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under FASB ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging.

For certain financial instruments, the carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash and current liabilities, including convertible notes payable, each qualify as a financial instrument, and are a reasonable estimate of their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest.

The Company uses Level 2 inputs for its valuation methodology for derivative liabilities as their fair values were determined by using the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model based on various assumptions. The Company’s derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as adjustments to fair value of derivatives.

At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company identified the following assets and liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value:

GBT Technologies, Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements 

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.

Reclassification

Certain prior years amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.

Revenue Recognition

Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”), became effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. The Company’s revenue recognition disclosure reflects its updated accounting policies that are affected by this new standard. The Company applied the “modified retrospective” transition method for open contracts for the implementation of Topic 606. The Company had no significant post-delivery obligations, this new standard did not result in a material recognition of revenue on the Company’s accompanying consolidated financial statements for the cumulative impact of applying this new standard. The Company made no adjustments to its previously-reported total revenues, as those periods continue to be presented in accordance with its historical accounting practices under Topic 605, Revenue Recognition.

Revenue are recognized under Topic 606 in a manner that reasonably reflects the delivery of its services to customers in return for expected consideration and includes the following elements:

IT Consulting services:

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

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

Variable Interest Entity

On February 18, 2022, the Company, effective March 1, 2022 entered into a Revenue Sharing Agreement (“RSA”) with Mahaser LTD. (“Mahaser”) pursuant to which the Company acquired the opportunity to share in revenues generated by Mahaser with respect to e-commerce sales through the online retail platform in the United States of America. Mahaser owns an e-commerce platform as a store which is the legal, exclusive owner of Ravenholm Electronics. The Company will operate the e-commerce platform and will be entitled to 95% for all revenue generated by and received by Mahaser for the period from March 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022. The RSA provides that the Company will be entitled to appoint a manager to Mahaser. As consideration, the Company will pay Mahaser $100,000 no later than March 1, 2022 and issue Mahaser 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock. The Company shall have no obligations to make any further payments to Mahaser. For any further extensions, the Company will have the option to extend the RSA for annual payment of $200,000, which can be payable with the Company’s shares of common stock payable based on 20 days VWAP prior to issuance. On March 16, 2022 the parties entered into Amendment No. 1 to the to the RSA, where all consideration to be paid or issued to Mahaser will be deferred until such time where the e-commerce platform generated in cumulative revenue of $1,000,000. On March 31, 2022, the parties entered into Amendment No. 2 to the RSA, where Mahaser agreed to pay the Company 100% per year for all revenue generated by and received by seller from the sales by Amazon within the United States of America as follows for the period from March 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022. The Company will be responsible for 100% of the cost of goods sold as well. In addition, the Company is entitled to earn 100% revenues and cost of goods sold of the test run period from February 1, 2022 to February 28, 2022.

The Company evaluated whether it has a variable interest in Mahaser, whether Mahaser is a VIE and whether the Company has a controlling financial interest in Mahaser. The Company concluded that it has variable interests in Mahaser on the basis of GBT has 100% control over the JV/revenue sharing, and as such should consolidate the JV into its books and records as it assigned 100% financial responsibility. Mahaser’s equity at risk, as defined by GAAP, is considered to be insufficient to finance its activities without additional support, and, therefore, Mahaser is considered a VIE.

The following table summarizes the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities of Mahaser included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets (after elimination of intercompany transactions and balances):

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. ASC 740 requires a company to use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of, the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

Under ASC 740, a tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The Company has no material uncertain tax positions for any of the reporting periods presented.

Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share

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

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes which amends ASC 740 Income Taxes (ASC 740). This update is intended to simplify accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740 and amending existing guidance to improve consistent application of ASC 740. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The guidance in this update has various elements, some of which are applied on a prospective basis and others on a retrospective basis with earlier application permitted. The Company have adopted this ASU on the consolidated financial statements in the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The adoption had no material impact on the consolidated financial statements in the period ended March 31, 2022.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)—Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. ASU 2020-06 reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. For convertible instruments with conversion features that are not required to be accounted for as derivatives under Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital, the embedded conversion features no longer are separated from the host contract. ASU 2020-06 also removes certain conditions that should be considered in the derivatives scope exception evaluation under Subtopic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, and clarify the scope and certain requirements under Subtopic 815-40. In addition, ASU 2020-06 improves the guidance related to the disclosures and earnings-per-share (EPS) for convertible instruments and contract in entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 is effective for public business entities that meet the definition of a SEC filer, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has adopted this ASU on the consolidated financial statements in the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The adoption had no material impact on the consolidated financial statements in the period ended March 31, 2022.

On April 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt— Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging— Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options” (“ASU 2021-04”) to clarify the accounting by issuers for modifications or exchanges of equity-classified warrants. The new ASU is available here and effective for all entities in fiscal years starting after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has adopted this ASU on the consolidated financial statements in the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The adoption had no material impact on the consolidated financial statements in the period ended March 31, 2022.

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

Note 15 – Stockholders’ Equity

Common Stock

The Board of Directors of the Company approved, on April 13, 2020, a reverse stock split of all of the Company’s Common Stock, pursuant to which every 50 shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be reverse split, reconstituted and converted into one (1) share of Common Stock of the Company (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Company submitted an Issuer Company Related Action Notification regarding the Reverse Stock Split to FINRA on April 14, 2020. To effectuate the Reverse Stock Split, the Company filed on April 21, 2020 a Certificate of Change Pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) Section 78.209 (the “Certificate of Change”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada subject to FINRA approval. Since this reverse stock split has not yet been approved by the State of Nevada, the financial statements have not been retroactively restated to reflect this reverse stock split. On June 8, 2020 FINRA advised the Company that such request is deficient due to the fact that a holder of an outstanding convertible note of the Company had entered into two settlements with the Securities and Exchange Commission that related to securities laws violations but were in no way related to the Company. As a result, FINRA advised that it is necessary for the protection of investors, the public interest, and to maintain fair and orderly markets that documentation related to the Reverse Stock Split not be processed. The Company appealed the decision made by FINRA on June 15, 2020. On August 4, 2020, FINRA notified the Company that its appeal had been denied. On October 25, 2021 FINRA approved the Reverse Stock Split and on October 26, 2021, the Company effectuated a 1 for 50 reverse stock split.

During the period ended March 31, 2022, the Company had the following transactions in its common stock:
