Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2017
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by GLOBAL TECH INDUSTRIES GROUP, INC. (“the Company”) without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows at March 31, 2017, and for all periods presented herein, have been made.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s December 31, 2016 audited financial statements. The results of operations for the period ended March 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries as disclosed in Item 2 below. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
The Company’s financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.
In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its operating expenses and seeking equity and/or debt financing. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Beneficial Conversion Feature of Debentures and Convertible Notes Payable
In accordance with FASB ASC 470-20, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios, we recognize the advantageous value of conversion rights attached to convertible debt. Such rights give the debt holder the ability to convert his debt into common stock at a price per share that is less than the trading price to the public on the day the loan is made to us. The beneficial value is calculated as the intrinsic value (the market price of the stock at the commitment date in excess of the conversion rate) of the beneficial conversion feature of the debentures and related accruing interest, and is recorded as a discount to the related debt and an addition to additional paid in capital. The discount is amortized over the remaining outstanding period of related debt using the straight-line method.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
No accounting pronouncements were issued during the first quarter of 2017 that would have a material effect on the accounting policies of the Company when adopted.

Oil and Gas Interests
The Company utilizes the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas activities. Under this method, subject to a limitation based on estimated value, all costs associated with property acquisition, exploration and development, including costs of unsuccessful exploration; are capitalized within a cost center. No gain or loss is recognized upon the sale or abandonment of undeveloped or producing oil and gas interests unless the sale represents a significant portion of oil and gas interests and the gain significantly alters the relationship between capitalized costs and proved oil and gas reserves of the cost center. Depreciation, depletion and amortization of oil and gas interests are computed on the units of production method based on proved reserves. Amortizable costs include estimates of future development costs of proved undeveloped reserves.
Capitalized costs of oil and gas interests may not exceed an amount equal to the present value, discounted at 10%, of the estimated future net cash flows from proved oil and gas reserves plus the cost, or estimated fair market value, if lower, of unproved interests. Should capitalized costs exceed this ceiling, an impairment is recognized. The present value of estimated future net cash flows is computed by applying average prices, in the preceding twelve months, of oil and gas to estimated future production of proved oil and gas reserves as of year-end, less estimated future expenditures to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions.
The oil and gas interests were purchased with the issuance of 46,685,300 shares and were valued at market value at the grant date as $513,538. However, at December 31, 2012, due to a mechanics lien and impairment of title to the assets, the Company impaired the recorded cost, leaving no value associated with the acquisition. The Company recorded an impairment on long lived assets in the amount of $513,538.
Asset Retirement Obligation
The Company follows FASB ASC 410-20 “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,” which addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs.
FASB ASC 410-20 requires recognition of the present value of obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets in the period in which it is incurred. The liability is capitalized as part of the related long-lived asset’s carrying amount.
Over time, accretion of the liability is recognized as an operating expense and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the expected useful life of the related asset. The Company’s asset retirement obligations are related to the plugging, dismantlement, removal, site reclamation and similar activities of its oil and gas exploration activities.
The asset retirement obligation is as follows:
3/31/2017 | 12/31/2016 | |||||||
Previous Balance | $ | 101,250 | $ | 101,250 | ||||
Increases/(decreases) current period | - | - | ||||||
Ending Balance | $ | 101,250 | $ | 101,250 |
Investments at Cost
The Company accounts for its investment in private entities using the equity method for investments where the Company’s shares held are in excess of 20% of the outstanding shares of the investee. The Company acquired a 25% equity investment in three entities from Brazil as part of the assets of the ARUR acquisition in December 2012. Due to the inactivity of the entities, the Company did not allocate any purchase price to these investments. The Company evaluates its cost in investments for impairment of value annually. If cost investments become marketable they are reclassified to Marketable Securities-Available for Sale.
Investments are as follows:
Balance, December 31, 2016 | $ | 0 | ||
Realized gains and losses | - | |||
Unrealized gains and losses | - | |||
Balance, March 31, 2017 | $ | 0 |
Marketable Securities-Available for Sale
The Company purchased marketable securities and these marketable securities are classified as “available for sale”. Accordingly, the Company originally recognizes the shares at the market value purchased. The shares are evaluated quarterly using the specific identification method. Any unrealized holding gains or losses are reported as Other Comprehensive Income and as a separate component of stockholder’s equity. Realized gains and losses are included in earnings. Also, other than temporary impairments are recorded as a loss on marketable securities in the statements of operations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements” ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follows:
● | Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. | |
● | Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. | |
● | Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair measurement. |
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of fair value 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 carrying value of notes payable approximates fair value because negotiated terms and conditions are consistent with current market rates as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.
Marketable securities are reported at the quoted and listed market rates of the securities held at the period end.
The following table presents the Company’s Marketable securities and Notes Payable within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016:
Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | ||||||||||

Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, NetThruster, Inc., BioEnergy Applied Technologies Inc., GoHealthMD, Inc., MLN, Inc., Eye Care Centers International, Inc., GoHealthMD Nano Pharmaceuticals, Inc., TTI Strategic Acquisitions and Equity Group, Inc. and TTII Oil & Gas, Inc. All subsidiaries of the Company except TTII Oil & Gas, Inc. and TTII Strategic Acquisitions, currently have no financial activity. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained with major financial institutions in the U S. Deposits held with these banks at times exceed $250,000 of insurance provided on such deposits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes that it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.
Accounts Receivable/Allowances for Doubtful Accounts
The Company regularly assesses the collectability of its accounts receivable, and considers receivables with aging exceeding 120 days to be potentially uncollectible. Management will analyze the need for an allowance for doubtful accounts at that time. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, there are no allowances recorded.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718. ASC 718 requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the reward- known as the requisite service period. No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. The grant-date fair value of employee share options and similar instruments are estimated using the Black Scholes option-pricing model adjusted for the unique characteristics of those instruments.
Equity instruments issued to non-employees are recorded at their fair values as determined in accordance with ASC 718 and ASC 595, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods and Services”, and are periodically revalued as the stock options vest and are recognized as expense over the related service period.
Basic and Diluted Loss per Share
The Company calculates earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Computation of Earnings Per Share.” Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share gives effect to dilutive convertible securities, options, warrants and other potential common stock outstanding during the period; only in periods in which such effect is dilutive. For 2017 and 2016, no common equivalent shares were excluded from the calculation and as of March 31, 2017, there are not stock equivalents existing. The ESOP shares issued during 2012 and 2011 have also been excluded from the calculation as they were issued but not outstanding.

Revenue Recognition
Oil and Gas Revenues and Deferred Revenue
Revenue from sales of crude oil are recorded when deliveries have occurred and legal ownership of the commodity transfers to the customer. Title transfers for crude oil generally occur when a tanker lifting has occurred. Oil inventory in holding tanks at the period end are recorded as deferred revenue prior to tanker lifting.
Intangible Assets and Business Combinations
The Company adopted ASC 805, “Business Combinations”, and ASC 350, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, effective June 2001 and revised in December 2007. ASC 805 requires the use of the purchase method of accounting for any business combinations initiated after June 30, 2002, and further clarifies the criteria to recognize intangible assets separately from goodwill. Under ASC 350, goodwill and indefinite−life intangible assets are no longer amortized, but are reviewed for impairment annually.
Oil & Gas Inventory
The Company accounts for the oil & gas extracted from the ground and held in holding tanks prior to pickup and sale as oil & gas inventory. It is computed using the measurement of barrels and is multiplied with the published oil purchase price from the customer that picks up and purchases our oil.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
During the quarter ended March 31, 2017, the Company had no oil revenues and no accounts receivable.
Income Taxes
The Company applies ASC 740 which requires the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. The asset and liability method requires that the current or deferred tax consequences of all events recognized in the financial statements are measured by applying the provisions of enacted tax laws to determine the amount of taxes payable or refundable currently or in future years. Deferred tax assets are reviewed for recoverability and the Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be recovered.
The Company adopted ASC 740 at the beginning of fiscal year 2008. This interpretation requires recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions using a “more-likely-than-not” approach, requiring the recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions. The adoption of ASC 740 had no material impact on the Company’s financial statements. Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards 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 to be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment
NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company is indebted to the officers of the Company for unpaid wages and bonuses from previous years that were converted into Notes. The balances at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are $421,044 to Mr. Reichman and $206,670 to Mrs. Griffin, respectively. The notes bear interest at 5% are due at October 1, 2018 and are unsecured.
Due to officers as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 totals $24,198 and $135,062, respectively. These balances consist of net cash advances, and unpaid expense reimbursements due to David Reichman. The payables and cash advances are unsecured, due on demand and do not bear interest. During the first three months of 2017 Mr. Reichman advanced $109,412 to the Company to cover operating expenses, and was repaid $220,275. During the first three months of 2016 Mr. Reichman advanced $61,982 to the Company and was repaid $53,319.
During the first three months of 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2016, a board member advanced $0 and $3,000, respectively. These totals consist of several small advances, each covered by separate notes that bear interest at 6%, are unsecured, and are due in October 2018. The total notes payable to this board member at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 amount to $116,300 and $116,300, respectively.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2017
(Unaudited)
NOTE 6 - STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT
ISSUANCES OF COMMON STOCK
During the three months ended March 31, 2017, there were no common stock issuances.
During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company recorded imputed interest on a non-interest bearing note in the amount of $3,360, with an increase in paid in capital.
During the nine months ended March 31, 2017, the Company did not issue any stock options or warrants.
ISSUANCES OF PREFERRED STOCK
Pursuant to the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, there was initially authorized 50,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. On April 7, 2016 the Company’s Board of Directors created out of the Series A Preferred Stock, 1,000 Series A Preferred shares with the following features:
a)
Super voting power, wherein the 1,000 shares have the right to vote in the amount equal to fifty-one percent (51%) of the total vote with respect to any proposal relating to (i) increasing the authorized share capital of the Company, and (ii) effecting any forward stock split of the Company’s authorized, issued or outstanding shares of capital stock, and (iii) any other matter subject to a shareholder vote.
b)

d)
No conversion rights.
e)
Automatic Redemption Rights upon certain triggers, to be redeemed at par value.
The Board of Directors also authorized the issuance of all 1,000 Series A Preferred shares to David Reichman, CEO, for no consideration.
NOTE 7 - LEGAL ACTIONS
During March 2013, the Company was named in an action pertaining to the 75% working interest in the Ownbey Lease. Subsequent to the Company’s purchase of the assets and the termination of the operator a mechanics lien was filed against the property claiming approximately $267,000 in fees are due to the previous operator. An action is pending in the District Court of Chautauqua County, Kansas, captioned Aesir Energy, Inc. vs. Amercian Resource Technologies, Inc.; Nancy Ownbey Archer; Jimmy Stephen Ownbey; Robbie Faye Butts; TREE TOP INDUSTRIES, INC.; and TTII Oil & Gas, Inc. Management intends to vigorously contest AESIR’s claims and, at this point, settlement appears unlikely. It has been presented in the County Court that some of ARUR’s Directors have acted without authorization in this matter, and GTII’s management is assessing how to proceed at this time.
On February 26, 2016, the Company announced in an 8-K, that on February 15, 2016, the Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent with Go Fun Group Holdings, Ltd, (“Go Fun”) an integrated O2O (online to offline) supply-chain facilitated company, which operates in the retail restaurant and online food service business sectors and is based in Hong Kong, to continue discussions and work on a mutual agreeable transaction and business plan, including a potential private placement for raising capital. Go Fun is also engaged in the ‘Green’ food sourcing and logistics business, working with sustainable, local companies to further the science of healthy food preparation. Go Fun’s retail entries include traditional Chinese, Italian, and Japanese Steakhouse restaurants. The purpose of the ongoing exchange between the Company and Go Fun is to explore possible synergies, and facilitate investment in or acquisition of several of Go Fun’s operating units and/or assets.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Cautionary Statements
This Form 10-Q may contain “forward-looking statements,” as that term is used in federal securities laws, about Global Tech’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations and business. These statements include, among others:
● | statements concerning the potential benefits that may be experienced from business activities and certain transactions contemplated or completed; and |
● | statements of our expectations, beliefs, future plans and strategies, anticipated developments and other matters that are not historical facts. These statements may be made expressly in this Form 10-Q. You can find many of these statements by looking for words such as “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “opines,” or similar expressions used in this Form 10-Q. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results to be materially different from any future results expressed or implied in those statements. The most important facts that could prevent us from achieving our stated goals include, but are not limited to, the following: |
a) | volatility or decline of Global Tech’s stock price; potential fluctuation of quarterly results; |
b) | Potential fluctuation of quarterly results; |
c) | failure to earn revenues or profits; |
d) | inadequate capital to continue or expand our business, and inability to raise additional capital or financing to implement our business plans; |
e) | failure to commercialize our technology or to make sales; |
f) | decline in demand for our products and services; |
g) | Rapid adverse changes in markets; |
h) | litigation with or legal claims and allegations by outside parties against GTII, including but not limited to challenges to intellectual property rights; |
i) | insufficient revenues to cover operating costs; and |
There is no assurance that we will be profitable, we may not be able to successfully develop, manage or market our products and services, we may not be able to attract and retain qualified executives and technology personnel, we may not be able to obtain customers for our products or services, our products and services may become obsolete, government regulation may hinder our business, additional dilution in outstanding stock ownership may be incurred due to the issuance of more shares, warrants and stock options, or the exercise of outstanding warrants and stock options, and other risks inherent in our businesses.
Because the statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. We caution you not to place undue reliance on the statements, which speak only as of the date of this Form 10-K. The cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section should be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that we or persons acting on our behalf may issue. We do not undertake any obligation to review or confirm analysts’ expectations or estimates or to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Form 10-Q, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Organizational History
We were incorporated in 1980 under the laws of the State of Nevada under the name of Western Exploration, Inc. Western Exploration, Inc., a Nevada corporation, was formed on July 24, 1980. In 1990, Western Exploration, Inc. changed its name to Nugget Exploration, Inc. On November 10, 1999, a wholly owned subsidiary of Nugget Exploration, Inc., Nugget Holdings Corporation merged with and into Health, Inc., a Delaware corporation. Shortly thereafter, Nugget Exploration, Inc. changed its name to GoHealthMD, Inc. a Nevada corporation.
On August 18, 2004, GoHealthMD, Inc., the Nevada Corporation, changed its name to Tree Top Industries, Inc. On July 7, 2016, Tree Top Industries, Inc. changed its name to Global Tech Industries Group, Inc. GoHealthMD, Inc. continues to exist as a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Global Tech Industries Group, Inc. NetThruster, Inc. MLN, Inc., BioEnergy Applied Technologies, Inc. (BAT”), Eye Care Centers International, Inc., GoHealthMD Nano Pharmaceuticals, Inc., TTI Strategic Acquisitions and Equity Group, Inc., TTII Oil & Gas, Inc., and G T International, Inc. are also wholly owned subsidiaries of Global Tech Industries Group, Inc. Several of these subsidiaries have been formed by us in the anticipation of technologies, products or services being acquired. Not all subsidiaries are currently active.
On December 31, 2012, Global Tech and its new subsidiary, TTII Oil & Gas, Inc., a Delaware corporation, signed a binding asset purchase agreement with American Resource Technologies, Inc. (“ARUR”), a Kansas corporation, to acquire all of the assets of ARUR for a purchase price of $513,538, which was paid in the form of 466,853 shares of Global Tech’s common stock as described in the asset purchase agreement. The shares were valued at $1.10 per share, based on the closing trading price of the common stock on the Closing Date. The assets purchased from ARUR include a 75% working interest in oil and gas leases in Kansas, as well as other oil field assets, a natural gas pipeline, currently shut down that is also located in Kansas, 25% interest in three other business entities operating in Kansas, and accounts receivables from two companies operating in Brazil in the amounts of $3,600,000 and $3,600,000 respectively. TTII Oil & Gas, Inc. also purchased three promissory notes in the amounts of $100,000, $100,000 and $350,000, as well an overdue contract for revenue in the amount of $1,000,000. Finally, a gun sight patent was also acquired from Century Technologies, Inc.
During 2016 a Kansas court deemed the acquisition of the oil properties from ARUR as an invalid transaction, therefore all oil and gas operations have ceased and litigation has been commenced (See litigation). The Company intends to continue through legal channels to aggressively pursue the two companies located in Brazil, who are responsible for the over $7,000,000 dollars in monies owed to TTII Oil & Gas, Inc. All accounts and notes receivable were deemed uncollectable due to the age and circumstances, and therefore were assessed no value in the asset purchase. The equity ownerships were also deemed to be impaired due to the inactive nature of the entities, and were not allocated any value. The gun sight patent was also not readily assessable as to value and no purchase price was allocated to this asset. Also, due to the mechanic’s lien and lawsuit on the oil leases, as well as the absence of an official reserve report, the oil lease was also impaired and no value was recorded for this asset.
On December 30, 2016, Global Tech Industries Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation, executed a stock purchase agreement (the “Agreement”), which was signed and closed in Hong Kong, with GoFun Group, Ltd. through its wholly owned subsidiary Go F & B Holdings, Ltd. GoFun Group, Ltd. is a privately held company running a casual dining restaurant business, based in Hong Kong. Pursuant to the Agreement, GTII acquired all the issued and outstanding capital stock of Sky Sovereign (F&B), Ltd., Heartful Blessing Catering Investment Ltd., Shichirin Food & Beverage Corporation Ltd. and Go Inside Kitchen Ltd. for up to 73% of the issued and outstanding shares of GTII. The aforementioned companies (the “Companies”) were acquired from Go F&B Holdings Ltd. (the “Seller”), a subsidiary of GoFun Group, Ltd., for 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of GTII, as of December 30, 2016. Additionally, the Seller may acquire up to an additional 63% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of GTII as of December 30, 2017, if certain thresholds have been met. As of December 31, 2016, and the date of this report, the shares had not been exchanged with the GoFun shareholders, and due to the contingencies stated in the agreement having not been met, management has determined that the acquisition of GoFun has not been consummated, and has determined not to include the activities of GoFun in these financial statements.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We monitor our estimates on an on-going basis for changes in facts and circumstances, and material changes in these estimates could occur in the future. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. We base our estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from our estimates if past experience or other assumptions do not turn out to be substantially accurate.
Certain of our accounting policies are particularly important to the portrayal and understanding of our financial position and results of operations and require us to apply significant judgment in their application. As a result, these policies are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. In applying these policies, we use our judgment in making certain assumption and estimates. Our critical accounting policies are described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies as of September 30, 2016 and for the nine months then ended.

Competitors
There are many competitors in the oil and gas industry that are larger than us and have better resources.
Suppliers and Customers
We have hired an operator who operates and services our wells. When our crude oil reaches a certain level, the operator orders a pickup by our local crude oil purchaser, who pickups up and delivers our crude oil to a refinery. We have only one company that currently purchases our crude oil, therefore we have a concentration risk attached to our revenue stream. Because there are several other crude oil purchasers in our region, we believe this risk will not affect our oil and gas operations.
Government and Environmental Regulation
Governmental authorities may in the future impose obstacles to the production and sale of oil and gas through laws or regulations. Recent tax and energy legislation has been enacted, the total effect of which is not yet known. Various types of mineral properties have come under attack in certain areas because of their potential impact upon the surrounding environment. Therefore, leases or production in which we may have an interest could be adversely affected by either governmental regulations or private litigation involving such environmental concerns. We are not able to predict the outcome of such controls, regulations or laws on its operations or on the operations of the Company.
Intellectual Property
Pursuant to the ARUR acquisition, the Company acquired a 25% ownership in an Oklahoma corporation that designed a new software for gamma ray survey interpretation. This new software interprets data accumulated during aerial or surface surveys and provides a 3D blueprint of the areas with the highest concentration of hydrocarbons and/or uranium, dependent upon the algorithm application. This intellectual property is not a significant asset of our business.
Employees
As of May 13, 2017 we have 1 full-time employee and one part time employee. We have not experienced any work stoppages and we consider relations with its employees to be good.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2016:
We realized revenues of $0 during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, due to our oil pumping operations being suspended in the first quarter 2015, until oil prices improve. Our oil operations expenses totaled $0 and 377 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Our general operating expenses increased from $ 83,838 in 2016 to $213,998 in 2017. The increase was primarily the result of legal and consulting fees incurred by our professionals and consultants, as part of the effort to get the Company current in its filings and operations.
Our net loss increased by $38,403 from$110,180 in 2016 to a loss of $148,583 in 2017. The primary reason for this increase was the result of legal and consulting fees incurred by our professionals and consultants. We expect that our losses will continue until we are able to establish a consistent revenue source. Management and the Board are considering multiple options currently available.
16 |
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At March 31, 2017 we had cash on hand of $22,799 compared to $40,656 at December 31, 2016. We used cash in our operations of $(35,628) in 2017 compared to cash used of $(69,562) in 2016. We generated cash-flow from investing activities during 2017 of $0, compared to $72,422 for the same quarter in 2016. We (paid back)/raised $(110,864) and $8,663 from related party loans in 2017 and 2016, and $0 and $3,000 from other notes payable, respectively. We also collected $128,634 pursuant to a Private Placement Memorandum during the three month period of 2017 compared to $50,000 in the prior year. We anticipate that we will continue to have a negative cash flow from operations for 2017. We do not have sufficient cash on hand at March 31, 2017 to cover our negative cash flow. We will attempt to raise capital through the sale of our common stock or through debt financing, or engaging in other operations.
Some of Global Tech’s past due obligations, including $338,000 of accounts payable, and $113,000 of notes payable and judgments, some of which are duplicative, were incurred or obtained prior to 2005. No actions have been taken by any of the applicable creditors, and the statute of limitations has been exceeded for the creditors to seek legal action. Global Tech believes that these obligations will not be satisfied in the future because the statute of limitations has been exceeded, but is not allowed to remove them from our books and records due to accounting regulations.
During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company’s working capital deficit decreased from $(3,028,119) to $(1,830,885), a decrease of 60%, due to the extension of several long term notes that had become current or in default.
Any remedy to our current lack of liquidity must take into account all the foregoing liabilities. Global Tech intends to continue its pursuit to find other operating activities, and as necessary, raise capital in order to monetize its business and pay all its liabilities. Capital raise plans are under consideration but it cannot be assured that they will materialize in the current economic environment. Currently, Global Tech is without adequate financing or assets. Because no actions have been taken on the aforementioned past due obligations and demand has not been made by the applicable current note holders, we are unable to accurately quantify the effect the overdue accounts have on Global Tech’s financial condition, liquidity and capital resources. However, in the event that all of these obligations and notes payable were required to be paid in an amount equal to the full balance of each, Global Tech would not be able to meet the obligations based upon its current financial status. The liquidity shortfall of $(1,830,885) would cause Global Tech to default and, further, would put our continued viability in jeopardy.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
None
Going Concern Qualification
The Company has incurred significant losses from operations, and such losses are expected to continue. The Company’s auditors have included a “Going Concern Qualification” in their report for the year ended December 31, 2016. In addition, the Company has limited working capital. The foregoing raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans include seeking additional capital and/or debt financing. There is no guarantee that additional capital and/or debt financing will be available when and to the extent required, or that if available, it will be on terms acceptable to the Company. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The “Going Concern Qualification” may make it substantially more difficult to raise capital.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not Applicable.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Commission. David Reichman, our Chief Executive Officer and our Principal Accounting Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining our disclosure controls and procedures.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer has concluded that, as of September 30, 2016 these disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective to ensure that all information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is: (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rule and forms; and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company’s controls are not effective due to a lack of the segregation of duties. The Company lacks the appropriate personnel to handle all the varying recording and reporting tasks on a timely basis. The Company plans to address these material weaknesses as resources become available by hiring additional professional staff, such as a Chief Financial Officer, as funding becomes available, outsourcing certain aspects of the recording and reporting functions, and separating responsibilities. The Company believes that it would require approximately $250,000 per year in available funds in order to retain the qualified personnel required for effective disclosure controls and procedures.
The term “internal control over financial reporting” is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the registrant’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the registrant’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
● | pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the registrant; |
● | provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the registrant are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the registrant; and |
● | provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the registrant’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There were no additional changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2017 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations over Internal Controls
Global Tech’s management does not expect that its disclosure controls or its internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within Global Tech have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about 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. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.
Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of that our reports will be accurate. Our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer concludes that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective at that reasonable assurance level, as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q. Our future reports shall also indicate that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed for this reason and shall indicate the related conclusion by the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer as to their effectiveness.

During March 2013, the Company was named in an action pertaining to the 75% working interest in the Ownbey Lease. Subsequent to the Company’s purchase of the assets and the termination of the operator a mechanics lien was filed against the property claiming approximately $267,000 in fees are due to the previous operator. An action is pending in the District Court of Chautauqua County, Kansas, captioned Aesir Energy, Inc. vs. Amercian Resource Technologies, Inc.; Nancy Ownbey Archer; Jimmy Stephen Ownbey; Robbie Faye Butts; GLOBAL TECH INDUSTRIES GROUP, INC.; and TTII Oil & Gas, Inc. Management intends to vigorously contest AESIR’s claims and, at this point, settlement appears unlikely. It has been presented in the County Court that some of ARUR’s Directors have acted without authorization in this matter, and Global Tech’s management is assessing how to proceed at this time. No monetary claims have been asserted against Global Tech or TTII Oil & Gas, Inc. The District Court of Chautauqua County, Kansas decided that the Board of American Resource Technologies, Inc., acted improperly and set aside the Acquisition Agreement as null and void. Management is consulting with legal counsel to evaluate the company options.
