GLOBAL TECH INDUSTRIES GROUP, INC.
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2022
NOTE 1 - CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A) CONSOLIDATION
The accompanying consolidated 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 at September 30, 2022, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months then ended, have been made.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), have been condensed or omitted from these statements pursuant to such rules and regulations and, accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes necessary for comprehensive financial statements and should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. The results of operations for the period ended September 30, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for what will be the full year ended December 31, 2022.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries as disclosed in Note 2 below. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.
B) GOING CONCERN
The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared using U.S. GAAP 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. These conditions raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
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 consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a coronavirus (COVID-19) a pandemic. As a result, economic uncertainties have arisen which have the potential to negatively impact the Company’s ability to raise funding from the markets. Other financial impacts could occur though such potential impacts are unknown at this time.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2022
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A) PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, TTI Strategic Acquisitions and Equity Group, Inc, Classroom Salon Holdings, LLC, and GT International, Inc. All subsidiaries of the Company, other than TTI Strategic Acquisitions and Equity Group, Inc., currently have no financial activity. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated. The Bronx and My Retina acquisitions were rescinded effective January 1, 2022. Both parties have mutually agreed to unwind this transaction thereby they have no impact on these financial statements.
B) USE OF MANAGEMENT’S ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
C) 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. On September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, $30,940 and $109,143 excess cash balances existed, respectively.
D) INCOME TAXES
The Company applies ASC 740 which requires the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. The asset and liability method require 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.
ASC 740 requires recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions using a “more-likely-than-not” approach, requiring the recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions. 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 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.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2022
E) REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company had no revenues during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, however when revenues commence, the Company will recognize revenues in accordance with ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” Revenue is recognized per our contract with our customers at a point of time when control of our products or services are transferred to our customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those products, and after all our performance obligations have been met. The Company currently has no consulting revenues with performance obligations of hours expended on various projects with our customers pursuant to underlying contracts. If we subsequently determine that collection from any customer is not reasonably assured, we record an allowance for doubtful accounts and bad debt expense for all that customer’s unpaid invoices and cease recognizing revenue for continued services provided until cash is received.
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 as amended by ASU 2018-07. As such, the grant date is the measurement date of an award’s fair value., which is expensed over the requisite service period.
G) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company follows ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements,” which 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 September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021.
Marketable securities are reported at the quoted and listed market rates of the securities held at the period end.

The Company calculates earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260, “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 the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2022, there were stock options outstanding and warrants outstanding, however their effects were anti-dilutive.

The Company evaluates its long-lived assets in accordance with FASB ASC 350, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other,” and FASB ASC 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment.” Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their net book value may not be recoverable. When such factors and circumstances exist, the Company compares the projected undiscounted future cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amounts. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets and is recorded in the period in which the determination was made.

The Company, in preparation for the distribution of this digital dividend, purchased one billion Shibu Inu Tokens and set them aside to be distributed.

Our net loss decreased by $960,985 from $(2,768,613) in the third quarter 2021 to a loss of ($1,807,628) in the third quarter 2022. The primary reason for this increase was the decrease in professional services. We expect that our losses will continue until we are able to establish a consistent revenue source and finalize our projected acquisitions.
Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022, Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021:
There were no revenues generated during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 or 2021. Our operating expenses decreased from $4,661,352 in 2021 to $3,602,547 in 2022.

Our interest expense increased to $82,925 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, from $49,111 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

We expect that our losses will continue until we are able to establish a consistent revenue source and finalize our projected acquisitions.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
On September 30, 2022, we had cash on hand of $280,940 compared to $359,143 on December 31, 2021. Cash used by our operations was $203,641 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to cash used of $224,121 during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Our operations are supported by our CEO who uses individual credit to pay for expenses of the Company. Cash provided for operations totaled $281,998 and during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we received $50,000 in proceeds from the issuance of a note payable and net cash of $223,122 from our CEO. Cash provided for operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $589,570. The majority of that cash was $490,000 provided for stock deposits. We anticipate that we will have a negative cash flow from operations for 2022. We have sufficient cash on hand on September 30, 2022, to cover our cash flow. We will attempt to raise capital through the sale of our common stock or through debt financing,
Some of Global Tech’s past due obligations, including $338,000 of accounts payable, and $871,082 of notes payable and judgments, 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, and is currently seeking a judicial resolution to these obligations.
23 |
Any remedy to our current lack of liquidity must take into account all the foregoing liabilities. Global Tech intends to expand and develop its new acquisition operating activities to generate significant cashflow to allow it to pay its current obligations and settle its remaining obligations. 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 liquid 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 $3,460,189 would cause Global Tech to default and, further, would put our continued viability in jeopardy.
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, 2021. 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.
Potential Impact of COVID-19
The Company is concerned that the COVID-19 virus may impact the Company’s ability to raise additional equity capital due to the uncertainty of the virus’ effects on the economy and capital markets, which may make potential investors less likely to invest during the pandemic. This may affect the Company’s ability to raise equity capital to meet its financial obligations, implement its business plan and continue as a going concern.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
