PART I

PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Global Arena Holding Inc. (“GAHI or the Company”), a Delaware corporation, is organized as a holding company, specializing in elections technology software and hardware. GAHI became a public company on May 18, 2011 when it successfully completed a reverse merger with China Stationary and Office Supply, Inc. (CSOF), an OTC Bulletin Board company.

GAHC has two subsidiary companies:

1. Global Election Services, formed on February 25, 2015, is a full service election company that has developed a proprietary software system utilizing advanced OMR/OCR/Barcode software featuring de-skewing, de-speckling and image correction, and is creating and implementing data storage and retrieval registration system using blockchain technology for elections specifically. GAHC signed a letter of Intent to acquire the assets of Election Services Solutions including all clients, contracts and employment contracts. This asset purchase is currently pending.

2. GAHI Acquisition Corp., formed on May 20, 2015 for the investment in Blockchain Technologies Corp. and other software system development. GAHI invested into Blockchain Technologies Corporation on September 30, 2015 with the intention to use their United States Patent in Elections Administration. The Company, along with its software developers, is also exploring other blockchain technologies for voter registration and election balloting.

GAHC does not trade crypto currency, nor participate in Initial Coin Offerings.

Reverse Merger Transaction

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

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

At the effective date of the Merger on May 18, 2011, each share of GAHI’s common stock, was cancelled and converted automatically into 1.5 common shares of China Stationery for an aggregate of 18,000,000 common shares of China Stationery and was recorded as a recapitalization of China Stationery in the form of a reverse merger.

The consolidated financial statements are issued under the name of Global Arena Holding, Inc. (formerly, China Stationery, the legal acquirer), but are a continuation of the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries.

On May 20, 2015, the Company incorporated a new wholly owned entity in the State of Delaware called “GAHI Acquisition Corp.” This entity was incorporated to be the merger subsidiary for the acquisition of BTC.

On May 20, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger with BTC. Under this agreement, BTC will merge with GAHI Acquisition Corp., and GAHI Acquisition Corp. will be the surviving corporation. As consideration for the merger, the Company will reserve a number of shares equal to 1/3 the total issued and outstanding of the Company to be issued to BTC shareholders. On October 20, 2015, the parties agreed to extend the closing date of the merger to December 15, 2015. This agreement expired on December 15, 2015.

Concurrently, on October 20, 2015, the Company paid $125,000 in cash and authorized the issuance to Nikolaos Spanos of 1,377,398 of its common shares and 1,993,911 warrants to purchase its common shares at the exercise price of $.10 per common share with an exercise period of three years. The common shares and warrants are being issued for the purchase of 1,000,000 common shares of Blockchain Technologies Corporation (“BTC”). Said common shares represent ten (10) percent of the outstanding equity in BTC. The securities are issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.

Acquisition of Election Services Solutions, LLC

On February 25, 2015, Global Election Services, Inc., (GES) a majority owned subsidiary was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. GES provides comprehensive technology-enabled election services primarily for organized labor associations. The key employees were previously employed by Election Service Solutions, LLC (“ESS)

GES has an amended term sheet in place for the asset purchase of ESS assets for the sum of $550,000. Management is currently negotiating the closing and expects to close in the 2nd Quarter of 2018. The proceeds will be used to buy only the assets of ESS and pay off all existing debts/loans. Their current clients include United States and International labor unions, Residential Organizations, Co-Op and Condominiums, Private Colleges and Universities and Trade Organizations.

The ESS asset acquisition will give GES the ability to expand into the following areas:

Alumni Associations – The ESS team formally ran elections for Alumni organizations for over 25 years with memberships from 5,000 to 200,000.

Pension and Retirement Groups – The ESS team formally ran elections for Pension and Retirement groups for over 25 years with memberships from 300,000.

Credit Unions – The ESS team formerly ran elections for Credit Unions for over 25 years with memberships from 100,000 to 500,000.

Professional Trade Associations – The ESS team formerly ran elections for Professional Trade Associations for over 25 years with memberships from 30,000 to 50,000.

Awards and Contests – The ESS team ran multiple public shows for the Country Music Awards in 2006, 2007 and 2008. These awards are all online voting so we will have the ability to effectively reengage in that field.

Global Election Services, Inc.

As one of the United States premier provider of comprehensive election services, we focus on efficiency, accuracy, integrity and security. We pride ourselves on being able to provide flawless results regardless of the size or complexity of the project. GES helps organizations manage elections, strengthen corporate governance, increase member participation and reduce costs.

Today’s election officials take on tremendous responsibility in managing all aspects of the voting process from selecting products to ensuring fair elections and every phase in between. In an industry that is constantly evolving, these tasks become more challenging every day. GES provides full-service technology enabled election solutions to clients while offering the experience, support, security and capacity needed to meet ever-changing client needs now and in the future. GES believes it is unique in its ability to integrate multiple methods of voting; customers can hold elections via Paper Ballots (by mail or in person), Internet Voting, or any combination of these methods, which we call a Hybrid election. Every project begins with a formal review of the bylaws to ensure total compliance and we prepare a formal project plan and timeline. An experienced Election Administrator manages every facet of the project, while keeping the client fully informed every step of the way. GES provides telephone and/or email support for any procedural questions or help for management and members. GES projects enhance the image of professionalism of the client organization, providing our clients with peace of mind every step of the way.

The Company’s senior management team has conducted over 8,500 elections, involving more than 40,000,000 voters. Each organized labor election result requires an election certification submitted to the US Department of Labor, and for over 35 years, not one of our elections has been overturned.

Management believes there are 3 significant opportunities to increase market share:

1)The Company is growing our existing organized labor/union business by using our new registration and OMR/OCR/Barcode scanning software for Paper/Mail ballots in conjunction with the introduction of online voting which we believe will save our clients significant dollars in the reduction of printing and US Mail.

2)The Company, working with its joint venture partner Voting Portals LLC, will expand its online voting platforms for Residential Organizations, Co-Ops and Condos, and other Associations.

3)The Company plans to enter the Political Party/ US Government elections market in the 2nd quarter of 2019, providing registration and software solutions for paper ballot elections administered by US municipalities. We intend to use our new registration and OMR/OCR/Barcode scanning technology in Paper/Mail Ballots and incorporate our newly developed registration system and wherever possible, specific registration systems based on Blockchain patents we invested in on September 30, 2015. The Company, with its current software developers, is exploring the use of US Patent #9,608,829, issued March 28, 2017; System and Method for Creating a Multi-Branched Blockchain with Configurable Protocol Rules which claims priority over; Provisional application No. 62/090,370 entitled “Use of Blockchain Database to Enhance Security of Support Secure Electronic Voting and Election Result Tabulation” filed Aug. 6, 2014.

Paper/Mail Ballots

GES management has been handling paper mail ballot elections for Labor Unions, Associations and other private organizations for over 35 years. This process starts with a nominations meeting, creation and printing of the ballot and all materials and mailing them to the eligible voting members. On the voting/tabulation day, we use the proprietary registration system that we developed to authenticate and register voters either in-person confirmed by digital signature capture, or by scanning a barcode on the Business Reply Mail envelope with the ballot inside. The authentication is based on a database provided by the client and any ineligible or challenged votes are removed. Once this list of valid voters has been compiled, we open the envelopes with identifiers and pull out the secret ballot envelope containing the ballot. Once the ballots are pulled from the secret ballot envelopes, we scan them using our proprietary software and hardware system to tabulate the votes. We uphold the essential requirements that the vote is secret and each member only gets one vote.

Technology

GES is currently working with HCAS Technologies, (HCAS) to design and create information technology and information systems management including software development services, infrastructure, network, support, corporate security, and risk management. HCAS works with other leading organizations to provide collaborative

solutions to their Business and IT challenges with innovative ideas that are embraced by their customers. HCAS offers information technology administrative services on a highly configurable, rules-driven risk management system that helps customers reduce administrative costs and increase profitability while increasing consumer satisfaction. The company has developed a suite of software solutions utilizing an advanced set of proprietary technologies and focused on risk management solutions, which generate revenues to existing businesses. More than 25 professionals leverage deep industry knowledge across various verticals including: Banking and Financial Services, Healthcare, and Insurance to deliver robust digital solutions in key areas of client growth. HCAS is a unique technology company that specializes in business process improvement and automation, helping organizations optimize their underlying processes to achieve more efficient results.

Given HCAS’ extensive background in healthcare and specifically in Information Security, Privacy and Regulatory Compliance related services, organizations have chosen HCAS to be their advisors. Years of direct front-line, real-world experience with deep privacy and security skill-sets helps clients assess and implement the required people, process and technology controls cost-effectively. HCAS will be helping GES implement programs that will assure continuous compliance with Department of Labor, US Board of Elections, National Institute Standards and Technology, Payment Card Industry, HIPAA-HITECH Security, Privacy and Data Breach Notification Rules as well as other data protection regulations with which GES must be compliant.

With an extensive technology portfolio, enhanced with its content production resources, and software development expertise, HCAS is positioned to deliver an exciting new approach to voting technologies that increase the transparency, efficiency and integrity of elections while making voting more accessible.

The development resources are being dedicated to:

•Ensuring the highest level of security protocols that comply with all necessary standards

•Developing a Registration System supported by Blockchain Technology for security

•Building an interface that is instinctive and user-friendly

•Customizing for specific sectors’ rules and requirements

•Allowing for scalability while maintaining integrity

•Growing our client list by offering high quality technology solutions

Registration Software

HCAS identified Imaging 101, a technology company based in Ft. Lauderdale, FL that worked with GES to create a very specific registration software that functions in authenticating and registering voting members in a data look-up system. It is important for the Company to build a system that keeps members information secure and phase two of this system development is to develop registration systems with Blockchain

Technology. In the event of an In-Person election, a voter ID can be scanned or any information typed in to pull that voter up. A digital signature can also be captured and saved for the final list of ‘Who Voted”. In the event of a Mail Ballot, a barcode on a Business Reply Envelope is scanned and the status of that member is identified. If the member is not eligible to vote, that ballot is removed from count. Because we must account for every single ballot, the system has multiple reporting options where we may deliver to the client the list of members who mailed in a ballot but were not able to vote, detailing the reason. This software was successfully deployed in the 3rd quarter for an organized labor election held at one location for over 44,500 members, and in the 4thth quarter an election held at 4 geographically separate locations, for 18,000 members involving 12 trained GES staff, each working with individual hardware and software, who simultaneously conducted registration of voters to determine voter eligibility.

Scanning and Tabulation Software

The software is advanced OMR/OCR/Barcode scanning and tabulation software featuring de-skewing, de-speckling and image correction. The computer hardware was designed to run without Internet or Wi-Fi access and is hard wired, ensuring complete security. The system allows for triple auditing capabilities, which are; electronically generated tabulation results, jpeg imaging and storage, and the original physical ballot. This advancement gives GES the ability to tabulate elections faster and more efficiently, and brings the opportunity for GES to compete for larger elections. GES began deploying this system in our elections during the third quarter of 2017. This software was successfully deployed in the 3rd quarter for an organized labor election held at one location for over 44,500 members, and in the 4thth quarter an election held at 4 geographically separate locations, for 18,000 members involving 12 trained GES staff, each working with individual hardware and software, who simultaneously conducted scanning and tabulation of the ballots.

Online Voting

GES has a current client base of hundreds of unions. GES is committed to providing a comprehensive, secure voting platform, using state of the art technology for election officials charged with running their elections. GES has joint ventured with Voting Portals, LLC to use a proprietary software that not only allows for secure online voting, but also includes add-on features for our clients in a secure portal system such as posting documents like candidate statements, contracts or amendments to be voted on, streaming real-time or archived meetings or videos, sending real-time messages within the portal or tracking email communication to the membership. We also offer the option for a “hybrid” election, which allows members to choose between a Paper Ballot and Online Vote, while ensuring no one votes twice. These tools can be useful between elections as well and is a great way for leadership to communicate with and engage their members. GES is working to build a user experience that limits human error and makes the voting process as easy and seamless as possible while ensuring the highest level of secrecy, security and One Member=One Vote integrity that we have been committed to for over 3 decades.

Organized Labor/Unions

In the fourth quarter of 2016, the Department of Labor released official guidelines for voting online. Since then, we have worked to develop our systems to offer our customers the most advanced software available today. This DOL announcement has encouraged many unions to look into this option because it is not only an easier process, but there is a significant cost savings for the client and a margin increase for GES.

Organized Labor Unions and their memberships in the United States are represented at the Local level, the Regional level and the International level. The smallest membership totals are at the Local level, groups of locals in a geographical area combine to make up a Regional level, and all members belong to an International Level. Elections occur in all these groups and subsets of them, which means that there could be multiple votes for the same union throughout the year, with GES charging a per-member fee for each one. Most Nominations and Officer Elections for union leaders occur every two to three years. Additionally, GES is regularly involved in other types of elections, including; Strike Votes, Contract Ratifications, Delegate Nominations, Dues Increases, Assessments, By-Law Changes and Unexpired Term Votes, all of which can be done online as well. Each union has by-laws that dictate the process and how often these elections occur. Due to our unique personal relationships with Local Union Leaders, it is a natural progression for GES to expand into administering Regional and International elections, which we have already begun to do. Below is a list of membership numbers for the top unions in the US, many of which GES already has as clients.

Residential Organizations, Co-op/Condos

The GES Team has been conducting elections for Homeowner and Co-Op Organizations for more than thirty years. At GES, we understand the sensitivity of the project, and the need to present a flawless experience to the owners. GES is the independent and impartial third party Organizations can trust to manage an election, and provide an Organization with the tools essential to strong leadership and good governance. GES provides complete management of an election project, from initial design of voting materials through tabulation. We support in-person, paper mail, and Internet voting using ballots or proxies. Signature verification, slates, and weighted, or share, voting are standard. No activity proceeds unless there is a quorum present. Interim results are available immediately and certified results normally follow within 24 hours. The GES Team has conducted elections at properties with fewer than 200 Membership Interests, and with more than 10,000. We have even conducted lotteries for public housing agencies including Section 8 Housing.

Election security is an absolute priority for GES. We have seen emotions run high in many projects. Our focus on the security and confidentiality of election information diffuses most concerns, and creates a broad consensus that the project is being conducted correctly and impartially. Teller Committees regularly observe our processing and tabulation activities.

Now more than ever it is important to know what property owners are thinking. For many clients, we've included a limited set of survey questions on the proxy for the Board election. This technique has proven effective in capturing voter interest and stimulating turnout, in addition to providing valuable feedback on the important issues. GES can develop a regular program of surveys to help the client more effectively gauge members' views on needed improvements, regulatory matters, or other association-related issues. This interaction is made even easier with our working relationship with Voting Portals LLC.

Working Relationship with Voting Portals, LLC

Voting Portals, LLC is a privately-owned software development company based in Miami, Florida specialized in developing and operating proprietary online/e-voting software systems in various regulated election sectors including: Condo/HOA; Labor Unions; Other not-for-profit; Shareholder; and Municipal. VP’s software systems deliver the most advanced platform today in online e-voting and related services allowing users to vote securely in elections and on other issues from anywhere by using encrypted voting codes, credential authentication, and blockchain technology. VP software complies with Florida Statute, Chapter 718 (the Condominium Act), providing a unique, password-protected, user-friendly portal experience for all association members and a secure voting platform to use for “consenting” members. The multi-functional Internet program allows users to vote in elections and on other association issues in a secure manner by using encrypted voting codes with multiple levels of credential authentication. Each portal can be fully customized including adding logos, links to favorite websites, photos and other images to create a familiar look and feel for each association. The dynamic software also allows users to be able to view video recordings and/or live streaming video of meetings, presentations and other information, all from their mobile devices or computers. There is also the ability to customize menu buttons, upload documents, messages and other content an organization wishes to display, archive information, send emails and notices, keep roster information organized, and track voting and other status matters.

Management sees this relationship as an opportunity to not only grow our Co-Op/Condo client list and expanding in multiple states, but also offering this secure online voting system to our existing customers and adding online customers in other sectors GES services.

The Voting Portals platform is fully functional in the Co-op/Condo space in Florida and may be expanded nationwide in the community association sector of the US Housing Market. This will require the adaptation of numerous individual State laws and regulations.

Government Elections

The Company amended its plans to enter the Political Party/ US Government elections market in the 2nd quarter of 2019, providing registration and software solutions for paper ballot elections administered by US municipalities. The Company is currently preparing to acquire the qualifications and certifications. We intend to use our new registration and OMR/OCR/Barcode in Paper/Mail Ballots and incorporate our newly developed registration system. The Company, wherever possible, will deploy specific registration systems based on US Patent #9,608,829, issued March 28, 2017; System and Method for Creating a Multi-Branched Blockchain with Configurable Protocol Rules which claims priority over; Provisional application No. 62/090,370 entitled “Use of Blockchain Database to Enhance Security of Support Secure Electronic Voting and Election Result Tabulation” filed Aug. 6, 2014.

In the US there are 3,007 counties, 64 parishes, 19 organized boroughs, 11 census areas, 41 independent cities, and the District of Columbia, all of whom are going to buy updated Election Machines and Software in the near future.

Each municipal county individually purchases election voting machines under the guidance of each State’s Secretary of State. In January 2017, President Barack Obama issued an Executive Order declaring United States government elections a “Critical Infrastructure”. President Donald J. Trump further extended this “Executive Order”. This means US Government will have a more active role in US elections.

The National Conference of State Legislatures recently announced that 22 states have provisions allowing certain elections to be conducted entirely by mail. As of January 2017, three of these states, Oregon, Washington and Colorado hold all elections entirely by mail. California will begin all mail in 2018

GAHI Acquisition Corp.

This Company formed on May 20, 2015 for the investment in Blockchain Technologies Corporation and other software system development. GAHI purchased 10% of Blockchain Technologies Corp. on September 30, 2015 with the intention to use their United States Patent in Elections Administration. The Company’s Board of Directors is currently reviewing opportunities of GAHI Acquisition Corp. GAHC does not trade crypto currency, nor participate in Initial Coin Offerings.

The technology underlying bitcoin is blockchain – a decentralized ledger that records every verified transaction and has the potential to be a much greater disruptive force than the crypto currency itself. Investors and technologists think the technology could replace huge aspects of the financial and insurance industries, and eventually even corporate management teams. In fact, big names like Google, Microsoft and IBM are already working on developing applications.

On March 28, 2017 the United States Patent Office issued patents to Blockchain Technologies Corporation covering Election Intellectual Property.

>US Patent #9,608,829, Issued March 28, 2017: System and Method for Creating a Multi-Branched Blockchain with Configurable Protocol Rules claims priority from;

In June, 2011, the Board of Directors adopted a Stock Awards Plan (“Plan”). The purpose of the Plan is to attract, retain and motivate employees, directors and persons affiliated with the Company and to provide such participants with additional incentive and reward opportunities. The awards may be in the form of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, phantom stock awards, or any combination of the foregoing. The total number of shares of stock reserved for issuance under the Plan is 3,000,000.

On December 8, 2017, the Company granted stock options to purchase 45,000,000 shares of the Company common stock. The options were fully vested when issued with a fair value of approximately $972,000 at the grant date. Weighted average assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options on the date of grant are as follows:

		December 8, 2017
Expected dividend yield		0%
Expected stock price volatility		478%
Risk free interest rate		2.14%
Expected life (years)		5 year

The stock-based compensation related to stock options, included in stock compensation expense in the consolidated statements of operations, was $0 and $972,000 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Forward-looking Statements

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

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

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’s financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management's applications of accounting policies. Critical accounting policies for the Company include revenue recognition, valuation of convertible promissory notes and related warrants, stock and stock option compensation, estimates, and derivative financial instruments.

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

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenue recognition policies comply with SEC revenue recognition rules and the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605-10-S99. The Company earns revenues through various services it provides to its clients. GES’s income is recognized at the presentation date of the certification of the election results. The payments received in advance are recorded as deferred revenue on the balance sheet. Should an election not proceed, all non-refundable deferred revenue will be recognized as revenue.

Convertible Debt

Convertible debt is accounted for under FASB ASC 470, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options. The Company records a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) related to the issuance of convertible debt that has conversion features at fixed or adjustable rates that are in-the-money when issued and records the relative fair value of any warrants issued with those instruments. The BCF for the convertible instruments is recognized and measured by allocating a portion of the proceeds to the warrants and as a reduction to the carrying amount of the convertible instrument equal to the intrinsic value of the conversion features, both of which are credited to additional paid-in capital. The Company calculates the fair value of warrants issued with the convertible instruments using the Black-Scholes valuation method, using the same assumptions used for valuing stock options, except that the contractual life of the warrant is used.

Under these guidelines, the Company allocates the value of the proceeds received from a convertible debt transaction between the conversion feature and any other detachable instruments (such as warrants) on a relative fair value basis. The allocated fair value of the BCF and warrants are recorded as a debt discount and is accreted over the expected term of the convertible debt as interest expense.

The Company accounts for modifications of its embedded conversion features in accordance with the ASC which requires the modification of a convertible debt instrument that changes the fair value of an embedded conversion feature and the subsequent recognition of interest expense or the associated debt instrument when the modification does not result in a debt extinguishment.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are 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. The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton model to value the derivative instruments. 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.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company periodically issues stock options and warrants to employees and non-employees in capital raising transactions, for services and for financing costs. The Company accounts for share-based payments under the guidance as set forth in the Share-Based Payment Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees, officers, directors, and consultants, including employee stock options, based on estimated fair values. The Company estimates the fair value of share-based payment awards to employees and directors on the date of grant using an option-pricing model, and the value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the required service period in the Company's Statements of Operations. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with the authoritative guidance where the value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete. Stock-based compensation is based on awards ultimately expected to vest and is reduced for estimated forfeitures. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, as necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB and the SEC did not have, are not believed by management to have, a material impact, or are currently evaluating the potential impact of updated authoritative guidance on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.

Trends and Uncertainties

The Company currently has minimal revenues and operations and is investigating potential businesses and companies for acquisition to create and/or acquire a sustainable business. Our ability to acquire or create a sustainable business may be adversely affected by our current financial conditions, availability of capital and/ or loans, general economic conditions which can be cyclical in nature along with prolonged recessionary periods, and other economic and political situations.

The Company has generated recurring losses and cash flow deficits from its operations since inception and has had to continually borrow to continue operations. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The continued operations of the Company are dependent upon its ability to raise additional capital, obtain additional financing and/or generate positive cash flows from operations. As further described in “Liquidity and Capital Resources”, management believes that it will be successful in obtaining additional financing, from which the proceeds will be primarily used to execute its new operating plans. The Company plans to use its available cash and new financing to develop and execute its new business plan and hopefully create and maintain a self-sustaining business. However, the Company can give no assurances that it will be successful in achieving its plans or if financing will be available or, if available, on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all. Should the Company not be successful in obtaining the necessary financing to fund its operations, and ultimately achieve adequate profitability and cash flows from operations, the Company would need to curtail certain or all of its operating activities.

There are no trends, events or uncertainties that have had or are reasonably expected to have a material impact on the net sales or revenues or income from continuing operations. There are no significant elements of income or loss that do not arise from our continuing operations except for the fair value change on derivative financial instruments and settlement on arbitration.

The rapid advances in computing and telecommunications technology over the past several decades have brought with them increasingly sophisticated methods of delivering administrating elections. Along with these advances, though, have come risks regarding the integrity and privacy of data, and these risks apply to election companies, falling into the general classification of cybersecurity. While it is not possible for anyone to give an absolute guarantee that data will not be compromised, when applicable, the Company shall utilize third-party service providers to secure the Company’s financial and personal data; the Company believes that third-party service providers provide reasonable assurance that the financial and personal data that they hold are secure.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2018, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $25,021,933 and a working capital deficiency of $6,847,657. Our ability to continue as a going concern depends upon whether we can ultimately attain profitable operations, generate sufficient cash flow to meet our obligations, and obtain additional financing as needed.

For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company recorded a net income of $7,919,520. We recorded an amortization of debt discount of $1,986,876, a change in fair value of derivative liability of $12,790,971, and non-cash financing costs of $1,101,610. We recorded convertible promissory notes payable issued for penalty interest of $392,676, common stock issued for settlements of $293,219, and the fair value of warrants issued for services of $14,603. We recorded the following changes in current assets and liabilities: a change in deferred revenue of $5,009, a change in accounts payable of $405,650, and a change of accrued expenses of $508,813. As a result, we recorded net cash used in operating activities of $984,313 for the year ended December 31, 2018.

For the year ended December 31, 2018, we made a payment of $79,500 as a deposit for acquisition, resulting in net cash used in investing activities for the period.

For the year ended December 31, 2018, we received $1,109,000 as proceeds from convertible promissory notes payable. We repaid convertible promissory notes payable of $22,500. As a result, we had net cash provided by financing activities of $1,086,500 for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Management believes that it will be able to continue its operations and further advance its business plans. However, management cannot give assurances that such plans will materialize and be successful in the near term or on terms advantageous to the Company, or at all. Should the Company not be successful in its business plans or obtain additional financing, the Company would need to curtail certain or all of its operating activities.

The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to ultimately attain profitable operations, generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations, and obtain additional financing as may be required. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, our auditors have included a “going concern” modification in their auditors’ reports. A “going concern” modification may make it more difficult for us to raise funds when needed. The outcome of this uncertainty cannot presently be determined.

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

Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2018 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2017

Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2018 were $716,517 compared to $532,666 for the year ended December 31, 2017, an increase of $183,851. The majority of our clients hold elections on a three year cycle. This increase in revenues is due primarily to increased elections held during this year.

Salaries and benefits totaled $377,977 for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to $733,514 for the year ended December 31, 2016, a decrease of $355,537. This decrease was due primarily to the stock compensation granted in 2017, which was not granted in 2018.

Professional fees for the year ended December 31, 2018 totaled $293,667 compared to $481,315 for the year ended December 31, 2017, a decrease of $187,648. This decrease is primarily due to the reduced legal activities during the year ended December 31, 2018.

For the year ended December 31, 2018, we paid marketing and advertising expenses of $5,352 compared to the $21,000 paid in the year ended December 31, 2017. We paid software development expenses of $111,709 in 2018 compared to $144,959 in 2017, we paid printing costs of $186,015 in 2018 compared to $105,987 in 2017, and we paid general and administrative expenses of $617,607 in 2018 compared to $1,689,630 in 2017. These decreases are all due to efforts to reduce overhead during the year ended December 31, 2018.

Total operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2018 were $875,810 compared to $2,643,739 for the year ended December 31, 2017, a decrease of $1,767,929 principally due to reasons discussed above.

Contractual Obligations

Our significant contractual obligations as of December 31, 2018, are as follows:

								More than
		Less than		One to three		Three to five		Five
		One Year		Years		Years		Years		Total
Convertible notes payable	$	3,639,165	$	-	$	-	$	-	$	3,639,165

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not maintain any off-balance sheet arrangements, transactions, obligations or other relationships with unconsolidated entities that would be expected to have a material current or future effect upon our financial condition or results of operations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Global Arena Holding Inc. and Subsidiaries

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Global Arena Holding Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended December 31, 2018, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended December 31, 2018, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Going concern uncertainty

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses since inception, experiences a deficiency of cash flow from operations, sold its principal operating business, is currently in default of certain outstanding notes, and has a stockholders’ deficit. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

GLOBAL ARENA HOLDING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2018 AND 2017

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION

Organization and Business

Global Arena Holding, Inc. (formerly, “Global Arena Holding Subsidiary Corp.”) (“GAHI”), was formed in February 2009, in the state of Delaware. GAHI and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) was previously a financial services firm and currently is focusing on the following businesses through these subsidiaries:

On February 25, 2015, Global Election Services, Inc. (“GES”), a wholly owned subsidiary was incorporated in the State of Delaware. GES provides comprehensive technology-enabled election services primarily for organized labor associations.

On May 20, 2015, the Company incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary in the State of Delaware called “GAHI Acquisition Corp.” This entity was to be the merger subsidiary for the potential acquisition of Blockchain Technologies Corp. (See Note 9) The Board of Directors is currently reviewing potential opportunities, for this entity.

Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplates the continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has generated recurring losses from operations and cash flow deficits from its operations since inception and has had to continually borrow to continue operating. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The continued operations of the Company are dependent upon its ability to raise additional capital, obtain additional financing and/or acquire or develop a business that generates sufficient positive cash flows from operations. In May, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger with Blockchain Technologies Corporation (“BTC”), which holds provisional patents and intellectual property for creating a new Elections Blockchain technology. In October, 2015, the Company acquired 10% of the outstanding equity in BTC. The management of the Company is also in negotiations with other companies it believes could be beneficial to the Company’s operations. The Company continues to raise funds from the issuance of additional convertible promissory note. Management is hopeful that with its new focus on business acquisitions and their ability to raise additional funds that the Company should be able to continue as a going concern.

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

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Earnings per share is calculated in accordance with the ASC 260-10, Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings-per-share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings-per-share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible notes, stock options and warrants were converted or exercised. 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. The following potentially dilutive shares were excluded from the shares used to calculate diluted earnings per share as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

	December 31,
	2018	2017
Options	48,000,000	48,000,000
Warrants	466,276,590	337,392,015
Convertible notes	2,305,126,959	331,182,784
Total	2,819,403,549	716,574,799

Management Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates reflected in the consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, share-based compensation, and assumptions used in valuing derivative liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all demand and time deposits and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Convertible Debt

Convertible debt is accounted for under FASB ASC 470, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options. The Company records a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) related to the issuance of convertible debt that has conversion features at fixed or adjustable rates that are in-the-money when issued and records the relative fair value of any warrants issued with those instruments. The BCF for the convertible instruments is recognized and measured by allocating a portion of the proceeds to the warrants and as a reduction to the carrying amount of the convertible instrument equal to the intrinsic value of the conversion features, both of which are credited to additional paid-in capital. The Company calculates the fair value of warrants issued with the convertible instruments using the Black-Scholes valuation method, using the same assumptions used for valuing stock options, except that the contractual life of the warrant is used.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives pursuant to ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. 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. The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton model to value the derivative instruments. 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.

Revenue Recognition

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

Revenue from election services 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:

executed contracts with the Company’s customers that it believes are legally enforceable;

identification of performance obligations in the respective contract;

determination of the transaction price for each performance obligation in the respective contract;

allocation the transaction price to each performance obligation; and

recognition of revenue only when the Company satisfies each performance obligation.

Revenue is recognized when the Company completes its obligations under the contracts with its customers and revenue is generally recognized at the presentation date of the certification of the election results. The payments received in advance are recorded as deferred revenue on the balance sheet. Should an election not proceed, all non-refundable deferred revenue will be recognized as revenue.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company periodically issues stock options and warrants to employees and non-employees in capital raising transactions, for services and for financing costs. The Company accounts for share-based payments under the guidance as set forth in the Share-Based Payment Topic of the ASC, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees, officers, directors, and consultants, including employee stock options, based on estimated fair values. The Company estimates the fair value of share-based payment awards to employees and directors on the date of grant using an option-pricing model, and the value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the required service period in the Company's Statements of Operations. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with the authoritative guidance where the value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete. Stock-based compensation is based on awards ultimately expected to vest and is reduced for estimated forfeitures. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, as necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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

Fair Value Measurements

The Company applies the provisions of ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. ASC 820-10 defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:

Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

Cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses and deferred revenue – The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for these items are a reasonable estimate of fair value due to their short term nature.

Promissory notes payable and convertible promissory notes payable – Promissory notes payable and convertible promissory notes payable are recorded at amortized cost. The carrying amount approximates their fair value.

The Company uses Level 2 inputs for its valuation methodology for the beneficial conversion feature and warrant 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.

The following table presents the Company’s assets and liabilities required to be reflected within the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2018 and 2017.

		Fair Value		Fair Value Measurements at

Total	$	12,303,572	$	-	$	12,303,572	$	-

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 adoption had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts were reclassified to conform to the manner of presentation in the current period. These reclassifications had no effect on the net loss or stockholders’ deficit.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2017, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805) Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The amendments in this update clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and should be applied prospectively on or after the effective date. The adoption of this ASU did not have an impact on its financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash, which requires restricted cash to be presented with cash and cash equivalents on the statement of cash flows and disclosure of how the statement of cash flows reconciles to the balance sheet if restricted cash is shown separately from cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheet. ASU 2016-18 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this ASU did not have an impact on its financial statements.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfer of Assets Other than Inventory, which requires the recognition of the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset, other than inventory, when the transfer occurs. ASU 2016-16 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The

adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. ASU 2016-15 provides guidance for targeted changes with respect to how cash receipts and cash payments are classified in the statements of cash flows, with the objective of reducing diversity in practice. ASU 2016-15 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this ASU did not have an impact on its financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and requires expanded disclosures about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive revenue recognition standard that will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP and replace it with a principle-based approach for determining revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 will require that companies recognize revenue based on the value of transferred goods or services as they occur in the contract. The ASU also will require additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. ASU 2014-09 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted only in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods therein. Entities will be able to transition to the standard either retrospectively or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company adopted this ASU beginning on January 1, 2018 and used the modified prospective method of adoption. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 - INVESTMENT

On October 20, 2015, the Company paid $125,000 in cash and issued to Nikolaos Spanos, 1,377,398 of its common stock (valued at $68,870) and 1,993,911 warrants to purchase its common shares at the exercise price of $0.10 per common share exercisable for three years (valued at $90,400). The common shares and warrants are being issued for the purchase of 1,000,000 common shares of Blockchain Technologies Corporation (“BTC”).

NOTE 7- STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT

Series B Preferred Stock

Pursuant to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, the Company has authorized 2,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value Preferred Stock. The Company has designated 250,000 of the 2,000,000 shares as Series B Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred stockholders are entitled to a cumulative stock dividend, up to a maximum of 10% additional common stock upon the conversion after one year. The Series B Preferred Stock may be converted into common shares, at any time, at the option of the holder. The conversion price shall be the greater of $0.01 or 90% of the lowest closing price during the five most recent trading days prior to conversion. The number of common shares to be issued shall be the number of Series B Preferred shares times $10 per shares divided by the conversion price.

During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company sold 90,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock for cash proceeds of $900,000. During the year ended December 31, 2018, 30,000 of these preferred shares were converted into 30,743,885 shares of common stock

Common Stock

On April 28, 2016 the stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized common shares from 100,000,000 to 1,000,000,000. In addition, the stockholders also approved an amendment to the Company’s Stock Awards Plan, originally filed June 27, 2011, which will increase the number of shares authorized to be issued under the Plan from 3,000,000 shares to 7,460 ,000 shares.

NOTE 8 – INCOME TAXES

As of December 31, 2018, the Company had approximately $18,700,000 of federal net operating loss carryforwards available to offset future taxable income. These net operating losses which, if not utilized, begin expiring in 2029. In accordance with Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, deductibility of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards may be subject to an annual limitation in the event of a change of control.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of net operating loss carryforwards and temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management

considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences representing net future deductible amounts become deductible.

FASB ASC 740 requires that a valuation allowance be established when it is “more likely than not” that all, or a portion of, deferred tax assets will not be realized. A review of all available positive and negative evidence needs to be considered, including a company’s performance, the market environment in which the company operates, the length of carryback and carryforward periods, and expectations of future profits, etc. The Company believes that significant uncertainty exists with respect to the future realization of the deferred tax assets and has therefore established a full valuation allowance as of December 31, 2018 and 2017. The change in the deferred tax valuation allowance increased (decreased) by approximately $676,000 and $(2,119,000) during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The decrease in 2017 was a result of a reduction of federal income tax rate from 34% to 21% offset additional operating losses and in 2017. The increase in 2018 was a result of additional net operating losses.

The components of deferred tax assets (liabilities) at December 31, 2018 and 2017 are as follows:

		2018		2017
Deferred income tax asset
Net operating loss carryforwards	$	5,284,000	$	4,608,000
Less: valuation allowance		(5,284,000)		(4,608,000)
Net deferred tax asset	$	-	$	-

The Company evaluated the provisions of FASB ASC 740 related to the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. FASB ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Differences between tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and the benefit recognized and measured pursuant to the interpretation are referred to as “unrecognized benefits.” A liability is recognized (or amount of net operating loss carryforward or amount of tax refundable is reduced) for an unrecognized tax benefit because it represents an enterprise’s potential future obligation to the taxing authority for a tax position that was not recognized as a result of applying the provisions of FASB ASC 740. Interest costs related to unrecognized tax benefits are required to be calculated (if applicable) and would be classified as “interest expense, net” in the statement of operations. Penalties would be recognized as a component of “general and administrative expenses.” No interest or penalties were recorded during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, no liability for unrecognized tax benefits was required to be reported.

The Company files income tax returns in the United States and in New York State and City. The Company is no longer subject to Federal, state and local income tax examinations by the tax authorities for tax years prior to 2014.

The reconciliation between the statutory federal income tax rate and the Company’s effective rate for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 is as follows:

	2018	2017

Federal statutory rates	21.0%	(34.0%)
State income taxes, net of federal benefit	6.0%	(6.0%)
Non-deductible expenses	(32.8%)	34.4%
Valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets	5.8%	5.6%
Effective rate	0.0%	0.0%

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

None

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Controls and Procedures.

During the year ended December 31, 2018, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of December 31, 2018. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and principal financial officers have concluded such controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2018 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In the course of making our assessment of the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting, we identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as follows.

The relatively small number of employees who are responsible for accounting functions prevents us from segregating duties within our internal control system.

Our internal financial staff lack expertise in identifying and addressing complex accounting issued under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

Upon receiving adequate financing, the Company plans to increase its controls in these areas by hiring more employees in financial reporting, and establishing an audit committee.

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

Important Considerations:

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

Committees of the Board of Directors

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

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, an officer, director, or greater-than-10% shareholder of the Company must file a Form 4 reporting the acquisition or disposition of Company's equity securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission no later than the end of the second business day after the day the transaction occurred unless certain exceptions apply. Transactions not reported on Form 4 must be reported on Form 5 within 45 days after the end of the Company's fiscal year. Such persons must also file initial reports of ownership on Form 3 upon becoming an officer, director, or greater-than-10% shareholder. To our knowledge, based solely on a review of the copies of these reports furnished to it, the officers, directors, and greater than 10% beneficial owners complied with all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements during 2018.

Code of Ethics Policy

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

Corporate Governance

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

Indemnification

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

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

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or

controlling person of the Company in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceedings) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in connection with any securities being registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issues.

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