We were incorporated in Nevada and our headquarters are located at 8925 West Post Road, Suite 102, Las Vegas NV, 89148.  We are a smart solutions technology provider focused on providing smart solutions advisory services, developing and acquiring early stage wireless 5G/6G and beyond technologies that meet certain core application requirements that deliver potential enterprise smart city solutions. Types of Products include IPTV technologies, digital displays technologies, VR, AI, data analytics software and wireless security tools for Stadiums, Airports, Universities and Smart City Projects. Our Mission: create shareholder value by creating a family of wireless technology companies specializing in vertical markets that support subsidiary business units with necessary skill sets to deliver value added smart Solutions to partners and customers.

 

A wireless Internet of Things (IoT) technology company and its subsidiaries and divisions, GZ6G Technologies Corp (GZ6G) is focused on acquiring, developing and overseeing innovative wireless IoT technology companies for the emerging 5G and Wi-Fi6 marketplaces, including target markets such as stadiums, airports, universities, racetracks, casinos, and smart city projects.

 

Our controlled subsidiary, Green Zebra Media Corp (GZMC) is one such innovative provider of wireless hardware gateways, communications, marketing and sponsorship, data analytics platforms and Customer Relationship Management “CRM” technology. Our products are used for stadiums, cities, airports, universities and hospitality markets.

 

The focus of our operations in fiscal 2021, were contracts which can most efficiently, and cost effectively, bring revenue generating operations through partnerships with venues and industries that must adapt to the new 5G and WiFi6 environment. Beyond that, GZ6G and controlled entities are establishing a global command center to offer our customer base scale and agility, speed the launch of wireless, digital services and data analytics services, and seamlessly connect customers to world class experiences.   It is our intent that wireless IT network managed services and data center initiative for clients and partners will monitor cutting edge Wireless IT networks with the ability to dispatch technicians as necessary to ensure continuous functionality of our Wi-Fi networks.

 

The use of Wi-Fi networks in high-density areas is the most efficient manner to ensure consistent wireless connectivity. Two trends are converging today to propel upgrades and new deployments of Wi-Fi networks, including 5G and WiFi6. First, consumer demand for wireless connectivity continues to grow, overwhelming many wireless and Wi-Fi networks. Secondly, many large entities are seeking new digital media avenues to obtain exposure to target markets through online ‘impressions’, particularly when they have access to a captive audience. GZ6G is uniquely positioned to facilitate the convergence of these two trends.  Additionally, GZ6G is developing future Wi-Fi networks that can integrate the Internet of Things (IoT) and significantly enhance network utility and user experiences.

The greater use of wireless devices (smartphones, tablets) and the emergence of IoT places has increased demand even further on wireless networks. Large network companies promote the 5G network deployment, but there are limitations to its effectiveness, particularly in high-density areas. Wi-Fi networks remain the best network deployment plan for airports, businesses, universities, transport hubs and city locations where there are high-density network demands.

 

Existing Wi-Fi technology can significantly improve wireless performance at airports, transport hubs, convention centers, resorts, and stadiums. The future of Wi-Fi is even more exciting. New developments by GZ6G will significantly enhance network throughput and allow for apps to reside on a venue’s network rather than the cloud. The result is much faster response and the ability to customize apps to serve local businesses, communities and users of the network.

 

The GZ6G total solution turns the Wi-Fi cost center into a revenue center by (a) deploying a state-of-the-art Wi-Fi broadcast network with customized software for enhanced user experience and (b) obtaining sponsors who desire exposure to consumers and businesses in high-density areas. This combination can easily justify Wi-Fi network deployment today.

 

Additionally, GZ6G plans to vertically integrate its operational model, providing both software and hardware as well as full support services to its customer base.

 

GZ6G is installing Wi-Fi networks in high-density use areas and is partnering with other technology companies and host entities (stadiums, universities, airports, resorts) for the GZ6G total solution. GZ6G has established strategic relationships with (a) network companies that are pitching the GZ6G solution; (b) established Wi-Fi networks that need upgrading; and (c) a range of potential sponsors in a variety of industries.

 

The Company has generated limited revenue and we have not yet finished executing contracts; however, we are in negotiations with two different large venues and one small Enterprise client that we hope to finalize in the first quarter of 2022; revenues will not be generated from these projects until the installation of our products are complete; mid 2022.

 

The Company currently has four divisions that will implement actions to correspond with the above services.

 

Market Opportunity

 

GZ6G Technologies is in a unique position to grow rapidly as a smart solution provider for strategic partners in the 5G & Wi-Fi 6 industry with strategic public partners.

 

We have been preparing, developing and building relationships to scale 5G & Wi-Fi 6 emerging markets since winning the New York City connectivity challenge at Governors Island in the Spring of 2018.   We established a relationship with Lumen’s smart solutions consulting team (formerly CenturyLink).  GZ6G is in a unique position to grow rapidly as a smart solution provider in the 5G & Wi-Fi 6 industry. 

 

In addition, GZ6G is seeking strategic acquisition opportunities to scale revenue, leadership and customer base by expanding the customer base and product lines in four core business areas: wireless networking and managed services locations, Smart IoT Software Applications, Data Center facilities, Digital marketing Agencies opportunities.  We expect to continue creating strategic partnerships that can help scalable a diverse sales force and product offering target markets local to global.

 

5G & Wi-Fi 6 plus is creating what’s called the (4th) next generation industrial revolution that is going to create faster and faster high-speed internet that will create more innovation opportunities that are directed at auto, delivery, entertainment, medical industry and sensors technologies.

 

GZ6G plans to take advantage of early acquisition opportunities to scale the Gz6G business model. It is our belief that most of the existing industry is not preparing for the future change that’s being created by the new high-speed capabilities coming to market.   

 

We will continue to focus on wireless infrastructure, IoT software and marketing to scale revenue opportunities, leadership and customer base by expanding the customer base and product lines in four core business areas: wireless networking and managed services locations, Smart IoT Software Applications, Data Center facilities, Digital marketing Agencies opportunities.  We expect to continue creating strategic partnerships that can help scalable a diverse sales force and product offering target markets local to global.

Barriers to Market

 

With any emerging market there are any number of challenges that exist, as the market matures and flattens out.  We don’t see this happening any time soon, quite the opposite over the last few years we have had a chance to figure out a few things during the development and testing periods.

 

Emerging Smart solutions technology Expertise –

 

Lack of qualified and experiences staff will number one challenge to bringing smart solutions to market.

 

Competitive Landscape -Telecommunication companies are talking about the 5G and Wi-Fi 6 connective speeds and required infrastructure requirements with various other technologies.  Connectivity is a commodity between all of them, they are and will be looking for alternative product and service providers to differentiate themselves.

Go-To-Market Strategies for Target Markets

 

GZ6G Technologies is looking at strategic acquisition opportunities that would allow for infrastructure, development and consumer target market opportunities; as well as teaming up with partnerships that can help create a diverse sales force that focuses on target markets.

 

University and Stadium Market

 

The university and stadium market is best addressed through existing commitments and partnerships; for instance, with our partner, Lumen (f/k/a CenturyLink). GZ6G Technologies total solution to Wi-Fi installations is very attractive to strategic partners. As a result, some of the strategic partners have integrated the GZ6G Technologies solutions into their product/service offerings.

 

Airport Market

 

The airport market is addressed with the direct sales force and ongoing relationships. GZ6G Technologies will leverage the relationships that key partners have with airports.

GZ6G Technologies will address the city market with a direct sales force. GZ6G Technologies has installed a Wi-Fi network on Governors Island New York during the connectivity challenge (2018 with Fibreless). Moving forward GZ6G will continue to work alongside their partners to leverage the success of that installation to attract additional city Wi-Fi installations.

 

Industry Overview

 

Wi-Fi technology enables wireless users to use internet and telecom services in a high-density environment. Without Wi-Fi in areas where there is a high concentration of wireless users, response time degrades, phone calls get ‘dropped,’ internet connectivity may be intermittent and user experience suffers. For this reason, Wi-Fi deployment is critical for internet and telecom networks in many geographical footprints.

 

The market for Wi-Fi equipment worldwide is expected to grow to $15.6 billion by 2022, according to industry research by MarketsandMarkets, Inc. This describes a compound annual growth of 21.2% through 2022. Such growth is driven by the use of wireless devices including smart phones, tablets and development of the IoT market. Approximately 67% of the worldwide wireless equipment market is in the US.  MarketWatch reports the Global Wireless Connectivity market, including chips and devices will reach $31.8 billion by 2022.

 

The primary drivers for the deployment of Wi-Fi networks are increasing bandwidth demand from businesses, universities, smart city projects, and consumers. With the integration of more images and videos for internet users, demand for greater network bandwidth increases. The weakest link in broadband networks is the wireless connection to the end user. The latest Wi-Fi network technologies address this weak link in a cost-effective manner.

 

The primary constraints to deploying Wi-Fi networks has been poor-user experiences in high-density areas, security and privacy concerns. Users with multiple applications on smart phones, or with multiple devices (smart phone and tablet or laptop) place high demands on wireless networks. Bandwidth intensive applications that include video and GPS create greater demands on wireless networks.

How does the host/network manager (airport, smart city, business, university) of Wi-Fi decide to improve network capabilities? Wi-Fi networks provide critical connectivity services to users, and bandwidth demand from users creates the need to upgrade the networks. Security on Wi-Fi networks is improving, but bandwidth is lacking. Wi-Fi network users are demanding more bandwidth while traveling, when at sporting events, when spending time ‘downtown’ or in commercial districts, and when at resorts, or on university campuses.

 

GZ6G Technologies Target Markets

 

GZ6G is focusing on high-density use venues where (1) internet connectivity demand is high and likely to grow, (2) the host venue recognizes the benefit of providing Wi-Fi broadcasting service, and (3) venues where sponsors are interested in consumer exposure. The target venues include universities, professional sports stadiums and racetracks, airports, resorts and smart-city projects.

 

Hardware and Software Solutions Today

 

GZ6G Technologies installs state-of-the-art Wi-Fi equipment designed to meet the projected high-density use demands for the location. Equipment manufacturers may include Cisco, Cradle Point, D-Link, Juniper, Linksys. Software may include products that are customizable from Brick & Mobile, Cloud4Wi, Purple Wifi, Panasonic, Socifi, Tanaza.

 

Wi-Fi network installation is customized to ensure the correct internet connectivity and speed is available throughout the venue. GZ6G has developed the software tools that are customized for the host/network manager to easily manage the network through the use of dashboards, which may include integrating additional components such as a security system. The software tools (broadcasting system) allow for the host to create pop up notices to remind users of important items regarding safety, first aid, ancillary services and special offers. The network manager gathers data to understand characteristics of user demands on the network. The host/network venue manager may also design features which provide information to users to enhance their time while in the area, such as discounts to affiliated stores or restaurants, notices of services at the facility such as food outlets, retail items, special benefits to repeat customers, or notice of where emergency healthcare is available. The host venue can customize the user interface on the network and as new supplementary services become available, such as a new food venue or new emergency management procedures, the customer interface can be changed.

 

Company Offerings

 

GZ6G Technologies focus on leading wireless marketing & CRM technology smart solutions provider, offering closed loop security gateways, wireless marketing and sponsorship CRM platform solutions, and deep data analytic solutions for the hospitality, stadiums, airports, universities, and cities. This customized approach to marketing will allow clients to elevate the interaction between the venue and the consumers on their platform. The second division will work with sponsors for unique marketing opportunities within the venue and for the venue.

 

The future vision for the Company is the inclusion of four main divisions.

GZ6G Technologies envisions the creation of wireless ‘fiber-speed’ networks to meet the demands of wireless consumers and businesses. High-speed wireless networks enable the establishment of Wi-Fi networks in any location to meet demands of wireless users, and expand the content capabilities of hosts and sponsors, regardless of the distance to fiber rings.

 

GZ6G is an IoT company made up of four different supportive channels:

 

Infrastructure

Software Development

Cyber Security

Data Management

  

We are in the process of developing a global command center that will allow us to monitor all of our venues in one central place.  We will have technical engineers available in case any of the networks go down in any of the venues at any time.  We will be able to remotely navigate any issues arising at the venues so that service will be virtually uninterrupted.

Practice areas can either function independently to address a client’s specific functional IoT needs, or be combined to provide brands with a holistic service offering that will handle all of their needs.

 

From banner and social media advertisements and advertorials to website and shopping portal purchase engagements, and product procurement, we will support venues in all of their touch points and engagement opportunities with their end audience.

 

We will offer the following core services:

 

We define venue as our target client, it can be a point of interest within a city, or it could be the city itself. Venues are a specific geographical location, such as a city, airport, university, stadium, racetrack, casino, or hospitality location (trade center, hotel etc.). When a venue connects to the network it is called a closed loop communication solution.

 

Qualify – Our infrastructure team goes into a new venue to ensure that they have the right infrastructure or bandwidth in place. This also means the team will be looking at whether the venue has the appropriate Wi-Fi capabilities in place, so the equipment will sync. Qualify also means that an evaluation has been completed to ensure that the venue has the correct Wi-Fi speed so marketing materials such as videos, graphics and content will present itself correctly.

 

The new GZ6G Wi-Fi broadcast network facilitates the Internet of Things to function in a way that it was projected to do years ago. Several possibilities with Wi-Fi apps are as follows:

  

Instantly receive best location for emergency first aid with a selected route, walking or driving. Information on where closest drinking fountain, first aid station, among other things, is located.

Police can receive optimal path to particular location and control any security cameras in different locations.

Consumers receive information on where street parking is available in real time and which parking structures have spaces available.

Travelers can be notified of flight changes, allowing more restaurant time.

Real time information on shortest food lines at a stadium.

3-D images of museum, real-time information on lines at any venue.

Cameras showing crowd at outdoor restaurant or parks. Control of access can change.

Security system cameras only available to certain parties such as police or other security personnel.

Short term restaurant or store specials when customer traffic is low.

  

All of this and more is possible with apps that do not require downloads from the cloud. It’s all available instantly because it is on the venue network. Each venue network can control which apps are available to which group of users, such that security cameras can be available to a select group. The possible apps are endless, and each venue network can customize its network page as it sees fit.

 

Our team will possess core capabilities and skill sets that help our clients execute on targeted growth plans that tap into the trillion-dollar tech market. We will serve clients across a wide range of industries and geographies.

 

Our growth will be through a multi-prong plan: (1) growing an in-house sales team; (2) leveraging strategic partners who are advisors to decision makers and owners of companies and will be conduits for introductions; and (3) client referrals.

 

We will build a core team of product developers, creative designers, sales professionals and account managers under each practice area to service existing and new clients.  Our philosophy is to develop “repeatable” software platforms around common business needs that can be productized to allow for us to scale development of new projects and grow revenues without relying on building large development teams.

 

Our expertise is IoT; we will help companies become relevant, agile and competitive in a global consumer commerce environment.  We will offer the ability for worldwide marketing and advertising through our developed software and available Wi-Fi at our venues.  Consumers want to be able to shop, among other things, anytime and anywhere, and on any device; our expertise allows for us to put our brands right in front of this consumer activity.

 

The global information technology industry is experiencing global growth and US companies have to be prepared to be competitive on a global marketplace.

The next generation Wi-Fi broadcast networks will bring fiber-like bandwidth capabilities to a wireless network.  Additional benefits of the GZ6G Wi-Fi broadcast network development is the ability to (a) wirelessly connect to fiber that may be at a distance from the facility, and (b) install high-speed bandwidth wireless to serve a community at a lower cost and much shorter deployment timeframe compared to fiber installations.

 

Operations

 

GZ6G provides a total solution for high-density use areas with:

 

(1)state of the art Wi-Fi hardware deployment to address the requirements of all wireless users, in a specific venue

(2)custom software that enables an enhanced user experience and secure, easy network access

(3)ability to integrate security system or expand Wi-Fi footprint

(4)automatic portals for any device in the area

(5)the ability to monetize the Wi-Fi network deployment for the host entity.

 

In addition to our CEO, President and Directors we currently have 25 full and part time employees.

 

Key Relationships

 

GZ6G has several strong relationships that are mutually beneficial to both partners; partners that will leverage the GZ6G capabilities to maintain and/or grow revenue streams for both entities.

 

Current Partnerships

 

Lumen Technologies/CenturyLink

  

Lumen Technologies: Lumen Technologies, previously CenturyLink, is one of the largest telecommunications organizations in the country focused on using their networks at cities, stadiums and universities. As a trusted third-party solutions partner, GZ6G Technologies offers the smart solution tools and expertise required for Lumen Technology to develop long term user engagement solutions.

 

Brand LTD – Brand LTD is our advertising and marketing partner/creative agency.

 

ViTech – ViTech is one of our IPTV Solutions providers for large venues and smart cities.

 

Aruba Wireless – Aruba is one of the partners for which we utilize their hardware for smart venues and smart cities.

 

Internetsoft – Internetsoft is our software development strategic partner that works with our internal development team to scale our software development projects for smart venues and smart cities.

 

Marketing Strategy

 

We plan to market directly to sports arenas, concert venues, universities, racetracks, casinos, and to smart cities using our existing relationships as well as deploying a number of popular online marketing tactics.  Additionally, we will be leveraging strategic partners who are advisors to decision makers, and owners of companies, and who will be conduits for introductions and client referrals.

 

GZ6G has relationships with national and regional Fortune 500 entities that are seeking targeted methods to reach existing and potential customers. These sponsors include commercial enterprises that desire to advertise or collect analytic data on users in high-density locations. National sponsors include the major network carriers, auto manufacturers, airlines, casinos, grocery stores, online retail, consumer discretionary goods and restaurant chains. Many of these seek exposure to consumers in specific areas.

 

With selective Wi-Fi markets, a sponsor can more effectively deploy advertising budgets. Local restaurants can advertise specials at football games. Casinos or restaurants can advertise to airport customers or smart-city users. Host entities can identify food specials at certain times when lines are low. Airports could provide flight updates in real time with notices to fliers that log in on their flight.

 

As the GZ6G network installation base grows, the Company will have the ability to offer sponsors a variety of venues for exposure.

Plan of Operations

 

We are an emerging smart city technology growth company that provides wireless and monetization enterprise level smart solutions to cities and large venues that require multiple types of products, services and third-party solutions to fulfill client needs. 

 

GZ6G has been preparing, developing and building relationships to scale 5G & Wi-Fi 6 emerging markets since winning the New York City connectivity challenge at Governors Island in the Spring of 2018.   We established a s relationship with Lumen’s smart solutions consulting team (formerly CenturyLink) and few other trusted strategic partnership opportunities.  GZ6G is in a unique position to grow rapidly as a smart solution provider in the 5G & Wi-Fi 6 industry. 

 

GZ6G plans to take advantage of early acquisition opportunities to scale the Gz6G business model. It is our belief that most of the existing industry is not preparing for the future change that’s being created by the new high-speed capabilities coming to market.   

 

We will continue to focus on wireless infrastructure, IoT software and marketing to scale revenue opportunities, leadership and customer base by expanding the customer base and product lines in four core business areas: wireless networking and managed services locations, Smart IoT Software Applications, Data Center facilities, Digital marketing Agencies opportunities.  We expect to continue creating strategic partnerships that can help scalable a diverse sales force and product offering target markets local to global.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company has been in the start-up phase and has generated modest revenues from its operations, and while we have various contracts in place for future development, there is no assurance of future revenues. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had a working capital deficit of $6,212,204 with approximately $760,000 of cash on hand and an accumulated deficit of $16,092,531. In December 2020, the Company signed a convertible promissory note with a third party to provide an aggregate amount of $450,000 in $25,000 increments weekly, which was sufficient to meet operational needs and has been funded in full. During the year ended December 31, 2021, this note was amended to include an additional $1,000,000 in funding, payable over 90 business days commencing April 16, 2021, of which an amount of $600,000 has been received against the $1,000,000 funding as of December 31, 2021. Further prior to December 31, 2021, the Company has received an additional $1,108,000 in funding with respect to net proceeds of $1,008,000 from certain convertible notes and $100,000 in proceeds with respect to the sale of certain registered shares issued in consideration for put notices under an equity line entered into in fiscal 2021. The Company anticipates a need for a further $5,000,000 in fiscal 2022 to meet its upgraded infrastructure requirements and has filed two registration statements on Form S-1 to facilitate this requirement, one of which was deemed effective on September 24, 2021, and the other still pending notice of effect.   The issuance of additional securities may result in significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining loans, assuming these loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain further funds required for our continued operations or that additional financing will be available for use when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms.

Covid-19 Pandemic

 

The COVID-19 pandemic could have a continuing adverse impact on our existing sponsorship and revenue agreements.  During 2021 the implementation of services under certain of our installation agreements experienced delays as a result of the pandemic. COVID-19 has caused significant disruptions to the global financial markets, which may also continue to impact our ability to raise additional capital. During March 2020, we gave notice of furlough to our administrative support employees in an effort to conserve resources as we evaluate our business development efforts in the coming months.  In April 2020, the Company received a grant of $6,000 and in May 2020 we received a PPP loan and an SBA loan in the approximate cumulative amount of $90,000 for operations. During early 2022 the Company reopened its offices and continued with the hiring of additional staff as well as the upgrading of infrastructure requirements to meet anticipated customer requirements for 2022.    While recent progress in the battle against COVID leads us to believe that the worst of the effects of the pandemic are past, we cannot say with certainty that the situation will not change.  The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve as of the date of this report, is highly uncertain and still subject to change. While significant uncertainty remains, despite the fact that  the Company has been able to source financing, it remains that the COVID-19 outbreak may have a negative impact on its ability to work through its collaborative development efforts with industry partners, and in acquiring venues due to the continuing impact of COVID 19, in particular as a result of the impact to the global supply chain.

 

Going Concern

 

These audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had a working capital deficit of $6,212,204 with approximately $760,000 of cash on hand and an accumulated deficit of $16,092,531. In December 2020, the Company signed a convertible promissory note with a third party to provide an aggregate amount of $450,000 in $25,000 increments weekly, which was sufficient to meet operational needs and has been funded in full. During the year ended December 31, 2021, this note was amended to include an additional $1,000,000 in funding, payable over 90 business days commencing April 16, 2021, of which an amount of $600,000 has been received against the $1,000,000 funding as of December 31, 2021. Further prior to December 31, 2021, the Company has received an additional $1,108,000 in funding with respect to net proceeds of $1,008,000 from certain convertible notes and $100,000 in proceeds with respect to the sale of certain registered shares issued in consideration for put notices under an equity line entered into in fiscal 2021. The Company anticipates a need for a further $5,000,000 in fiscal 2022 to meet its upgraded infrastructure requirements and has filed two registration statements on Form S-1 to facilitate this requirement, one of which was deemed effective on September 24, 2021, and the other still pending notice of effect. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the ability to raise additional equity and/or debt financing and the attainment of profitable operations from the Company’s future business. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital as needed, the Company may be required to reduce the scope, delay, or eliminate some or all of its planned operations. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We currently have no off-balance sheet arrangements. 

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The preparation of our financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments which are based on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The results of their evaluation form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and circumstances. Our significant accounting policies are more fully discussed in the Notes to our Financial Statements.

Research and Development Costs

 

We charge research and development costs to operations as incurred in accordance with ASC 730-Research and Development, except in those cases in which such costs are reimbursable under customer funded contracts. These amounts are not reflected in the reported research and development expenses in each of the respective periods but are included in net sales with the related costs included in cost of sales in each of the respective periods.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

We account for stock-based transactions in which the Company receives services from employees, directors or others in exchange for equity instruments based on the fair value of the award at the grant date in accordance with ASC 718 – Compensation-Stock Compensation. Stock-based compensation cost for stock options or warrants is estimated at the grant date based on each instrument’s fair value as calculated by the Black-Scholes option pricing model. We recognize stock-based compensation cost as expense ratably on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the award.

 

Stock Settled Debt

 

In certain instances, the Company will issue convertible notes which contain a provision in which the price of the conversion feature is priced at a fixed discount to the trading price of the Company’s common shares as traded in the over-the-counter market.  In these instances, the Company records a liability, in addition to the principal amount of the convertible note, as stock-settled debt for the fixed value transferred to the convertible note holder from the fixed discount conversion feature. As of December 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company had recorded within Convertible Notes, net of discount, the amount of $8,320,525 and $164,104 for the value of the stock settled debt for certain convertible notes.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 


In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06 to simplify the current guidance for convertible instruments and the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity. Additionally, the amendments affect the diluted EPS calculation for instruments that may be settled in cash or shares and for convertible instruments. The update also provides for expanded disclosure requirements to increase transparency. For SEC filers, excluding smaller reporting companies, this update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, this Update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods therein.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

GZ6G Technologies Corp.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of GZ6G Technologies Corp. (the Company) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended, 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 financial position of the Company as December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Consideration of the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has suffered recurring losses and has a working capital deficit which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

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 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 audits 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.

 

Critical Audit Matter

 

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Going Concern – Disclosure 

 

The financial statements of the Company are prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and, accordingly, will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations. As noted in “Consideration of the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern” above, the Company has a history of recurring net losses, a significant accumulated deficit and currently has net working capital deficit. The Company has contractual obligations such as commitments for repayments of accounts and notes payable and accrued interest (collectively “obligations”). Currently management’s forecasts and related assumptions illustrate their ability to meet the obligations through management of expenditures, obtaining additional financing through loans from related and unrelated parties, and private placements of capital stock for additional funding to meet its operating needs. Should there be constraints on the ability to access financing through stock issuances, the Company will continue to manage cash outflows and meet the obligations through related and unrelated party loans.

 

We identified management’s assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as a critical audit matter. Management made judgments to conclude that it is probable that the Company’s plans will be effectively implemented and will provide the necessary cash flows to fund the Company’s obligations as they become due. Specifically, the judgments with the highest degree of impact and subjectivity in determining it is probable that the Company’s plans will be effectively implemented include its ability to manage expenditures, its access funding from the capital market, and obtain loans from related and unrelated parties. Auditing the judgments made by management required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of audit effort.

 

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the financial statements. These procedures included the following, among others: (i) evaluating the probability that the Company will be able to access funding from the capital market; (ii) evaluating the probability that the Company will be able to manage expenditures, and (iii) evaluating the probability that the Company will be able to obtain loans from related and unrelated parties.

On August 6, 2021, Mr. William Ray Procniak and Mr. Brian Scott Hale were appointed to the Company’s board of directors and concurrently the Company formed an audit committee, which each of Mr. Hale and Mr. Procniak joined, serving as independent board members.  Concurrently the Company completed an application for an uplist to the OTCQB and submitted the required disclosure through OTCMarkets. The Company was approved for trading on the OTCQB Venture Market on October 25, 2021.

 

Going Concern

 

These audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had a working capital deficit of $6,212,204 with approximately $760,000 of cash on hand and an accumulated deficit of $16,092,531. In December 2020, the Company signed a convertible promissory note with a third party to provide an aggregate amount of $450,000 in $25,000 increments weekly, which was sufficient to meet operational needs and has been funded in full. During the year ended December 31, 2021, this note was amended to include an additional $1,000,000 in funding, payable over 90 business days commencing April 16, 2021, of which an amount of $600,000 has been received against the $1,000,000 funding as of December 31, 2021. Further prior to December 31, 2021, the Company has received an additional $1,108,000 in funding with respect to net proceeds of $1,008,000 from certain convertible notes and $100,000 in proceeds with respect to the sale of certain registered shares issued in consideration for put notices under an equity line entered into in fiscal 2021. The Company anticipates a need for a further $5,000,000 in fiscal 2022 to meet its upgraded infrastructure requirements and has filed two registration statements on Form S-1 to facilitate this requirement, one of which was deemed effective on September 24, 2021, and the other still pending notice of effect. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the ability to raise additional equity and/or debt financing and the attainment of profitable operations from the Company’s future business. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital as needed, the Company may be required to reduce the scope, delay, or eliminate some or all of its planned operations. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods shown. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

NOTES TO THE AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2021 AND 2020

 

NOTE 1: ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS (continued)

 

Covid-19 Pandemic: The COVID-19 pandemic could have a continuing adverse impact on our existing sponsorship and revenue agreements.  During 2021 the implementation of services under certain of our installation agreements experienced delays as a result of the pandemic. COVID-19 has caused significant disruptions to the global financial markets, which may also continue to impact our ability to raise additional capital. During March 2020, we gave notice of furlough to our administrative support employees in an effort to conserve resources as we evaluate our business development efforts in the coming months.  In April 2020, the Company received a grant of $6,000 and in May 2020 we received a PPP loan and an SBA loan in the approximate cumulative amount of $90,000 for operations. During early 2022 the Company reopened its offices and continued with the hiring of additional staff as well as the upgrading of infrastructure requirements to meet anticipated customer requirements for 2022.    While recent progress in the battle against COVID leads us to believe that the worst of the effects of the pandemic are past, we cannot say with certainty that the situation will not change.  The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve as of the date of this report, is highly uncertain and still subject to change. While significant uncertainty remains, despite the fact that  the Company has been able to source financing, it remains that the COVID-19 outbreak may have a negative impact on its ability to work through its collaborative development efforts with industry partners, and in acquiring venues due to the continuing impact of COVID 19, in particular as a result of the impact to the global supply chain.

 

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

 

Consolidation

 

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of GZ6G Technology Corp.  and its 60% controlled subsidiary, Green Zebra Media Corp. (“GZMC’). as of December 31, 2021. All significant intercompany accounting transactions have been eliminated as a result of consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

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

DECEMBER 31, 2021 AND 2020

 

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For financial accounting purposes, cash and cash equivalents are considered to be all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three (3) months or less at the time of purchase.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash deposits. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. At December 31, 2021, the Company had $509,791 in excess of the FDIC insured limit, respectively.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation on property and equipment are determined using the straight-line method over the three to five year estimated useful lives of the assets.

 

Research and Development Costs

 

We charge research and development costs to operations as incurred in accordance with ASC 730-Research and Development, except in those cases in which such costs are reimbursable under customer funded contracts. These amounts are not reflected in the reported research and development expenses in each of the respective periods but are included in net sales with the related costs included in cost of sales in each of the respective periods.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The core principle of this standard is that a company should record revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Further under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from licensing agreements and service-based contracts by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied.

 

We earn revenue from both digital marketing and the sale of WiFi and communication solutions to customers around the world.  Revenue is earned from sales of our WiFi media platform and our WiFi monetization hardware (GZ Media hub) embedded with GZ software to create monetization and communication solutions for our customers. Our sales can consist of any one or a combination of items required by our customer including hardware, technology platforms and related support. We also enter into licensing contracts which provide for revenue based on licensing fees and revenue sharing with our licensees.

 

As we expand, we expect a large portion of our revenue from our digital communication solutions to be derived from service-based contracts where we expect to recognize a significant portion of our contracts over time, as there is a continuous delivery of services to the customer over the contractual period of performance.  These contracts may or may not include fixed payments for services over time and/or commission-based fees.

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Revenue Recognition (continued)

 

Direct costs are expected to include materials, labor and overhead to be charged to work-in-progress (including our contracts-in-progress) inventory or cost of sales. Indirect costs relating to long-term contracts, are expected to include expenses such as general and administrative charges, and other costs will be charged to expense as incurred and will not be included in our work-in-process (including our contracts-in-progress) inventory or cost of sales. Total estimates are expected to be reviewed and revised periodically throughout the lives of the contracts, and adjustments to profits resulting from such revisions are made cumulative to the date of the change. Estimated losses on long-term contracts are recorded in the period in which the losses become evident.  If we do not accurately estimate the total sales, related costs and progress towards completion on our long-term contracts, the estimated gross margins may be significantly impacted, or losses may need to be recognized in future periods. Any such resulting changes in margins or contract losses could be material to our results of operations and financial condition.

 

In addition, certain of our contracts will include termination for convenience or non-performance clauses that provide the customer with the right to terminate the contract. Such terminations could impact the assumptions regarding total contract revenues and expenses utilized in recognizing profit under those contracts where we apply the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. Changes to these assumptions could materially impact our results of operations and financial condition. As we fully implement our business model, our inability to perform on our long-term contracts could materially impact our results of operations and financial condition.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

We account for stock-based transactions in which the Company receives services from employees, directors or others in exchange for equity instruments based on the fair value of the award at the grant date in accordance with ASC 718 – Compensation-Stock Compensation. Stock-based compensation cost for stock options or warrants is estimated at the grant date based on each instrument’s fair value as calculated by the Black-Scholes option pricing model. We recognize stock-based compensation cost as expense ratably on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the award.

 

Debt Issue Costs

 

The Company may pay debt issue costs in connection with raising funds through the issuance of debt whether convertible or not or with other consideration. These costs are recorded as debt discounts and are amortized over the life of the debt to the statement of operations as interest expense.

 

Original Issue Discount

 

If debt is issued with an original issue discount, the original issue discount is recorded to debt discount, reducing the face amount of the note and is amortized over the life of the debt to the statement of operations as interest expense. If a conversion of the underlying debt occurs, a proportionate share of the unamortized amounts is immediately expensed.

 

Stock Settled Debt

 

In certain instances, the Company will issue convertible notes which contain a provision in which the price of the conversion feature is priced at a fixed discount to the trading price of the Company’s common shares as traded in the over-the-counter market.  In these instances, the Company records a liability, in addition to the principal amount of the convertible note, as stock-settled debt for the fixed value transferred to the convertible note holder from the fixed discount conversion feature.  As of December 31, 2021, and 2020, the Company had recorded within Convertible Notes, net of discount, the amount of $8,320,525 and $164,104 for the value of the stock settled debt for certain convertible notes (see Note 6).

Leases

 

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-02 – Topic 842 Leases. ASU 2016-02 requires that most leases be recognized on the financial statements, specifically the recognition of right-to-use assets and related lease liabilities, and enhanced disclosures about leasing arrangements.  The Company elected to apply the short-term scope exception for leases with terms of 12 months or less at the inception of the lease and will continue to recognize rent expense on a straight-line basis. 

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. FASB ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. FASB ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.

 

If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company has adopted ASC Topic 740 – Income Taxes, which requires the use of the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method of ASC Topic 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share

 

In accordance with ASC Topic 260 – Earnings Per Share, the basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding. Diluted loss per common share is computed similar to basic loss per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potential common stock had been issued and if the additional shares of common stock were dilutive. Potential common stock consists of the incremental common stock issuable upon convertible notes, classes of shares with conversion features. The computation of basic loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 excludes potentially dilutive securities of underlying share purchase warrants, convertible notes, and preferred shares, because their inclusion would be antidilutive. As a result, the computations of net loss per share for each period presented is the same for both basic and fully diluted.

 

The table below reflects the potentially dilutive securities at each reporting period which have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share:

 

   December 31,
2021
   December 31,
2020
 
Convertible Notes   4,966,154    256,410 
Stock purchase warrants   1,130,487    -

Total   56,096,641    50,256,410 

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06 to simplify the current guidance for convertible instruments and the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity. Additionally, the amendments affect the diluted EPS calculation for instruments that may be settled in cash or shares and for convertible instruments. The update also provides for expanded disclosure requirements to increase transparency. For SEC filers, excluding smaller reporting companies, this update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, this Update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods therein.

NOTE 6: DEBT

 

Secured Revolving Convertible Promissory Note and Securities Purchase Agreement

 

On July 19, 2019, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Diamondrock LLC (“Diamond”) whereby Diamond has agreed to advance up to $750,000 to the Company by way of a Secured Revolving Convertible Promissory Note with an initial cumulative funding of $169,450 (less an original issue discount (“OID”) of 10% totaling $16,945) to be drawn down in tranches at the election of the Company.   As of December 31, 2019, the Company had drawn down a total of $169,450 of which $16,945 represents the OID and $2,500 represents agreed debt issue costs, for total net proceeds to the Company of $150,005.  The Company is required under the terms of the agreement to repay the draw downs in four equal installments, plus accrued interest of 5% per annum, with the initial installment commencing 90 days after the first draw down under the agreement.

 

Further, the Company was required to pay a commitment fee in the amount of $112,500 on signing of the agreement by way of the initial issuance of a total of 100,000 shares.   Diamond may sell the commitment fee shares subject to applicable securities regulations and may request additional shares from the Company at a future date should the aggregate value of the shares when sold generate less than the agreed $112,500 commitment fee.

NOTE 6: DEBT (continued)

 

Secured Revolving Convertible Promissory Note and Securities Purchase Agreement (continued)

 

Under the terms of the convertible note, on or after maturity the note may converted to shares of common stock in whole or in part equal to 60% of the lowest of the Volume Weighted Average Price for each of the fifteen (15) days immediately preceding the date of the Notice of Conversion.  The convertible note qualifies for derivative accounting and bifurcation under ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” The fair value of the $150,005 Notes was calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model at $173,585, with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 1.53% ~ 1.60%, expected life of 0.6 year, volatility of 175% ~ 292%, and expected dividend yield of zero.  Because the fair value of the note exceeded the net proceeds from the $150,005, a charge was recorded to “Financing cost” for the excess of the fair value of the note. 

 

The Company issued 100,000 shares on August 26, 2019 to satisfy the commitment fee. The Company valued issuance at the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock as traded on the OTCMarkets on the date of issuance, and consequently recorded stock-based compensation of $110,000.

 

On August 26, 2020, a Revolving Secured Convertible Promissory Note Assignment and Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) was entered into between Diamond and Ilya Aharon (the “Buyer”). Under this Agreement, the Buyer acquired the Secured Revolving Convertible Promissory Note (“Diamond Note”) from Diamond for cash consideration of $147,000.  The Purchase Agreement assigned all obligations of the Company and the guarantor under the terms of the original Diamond Note to Buyer.

 

On September 5, 2020, the Board of Directors approved the issuance of a new Convertible Promissory Note (the “New Note”) to Buyer in the amount of $147,000 thereby terminating all obligations of the Company and guarantor under the Diamond Note. The note was unsecured and non-interest bearing.

 

Under the New Note the Company had the right to prepay all or any portion of the New Note at any time upon 30 days written notice to the debtholder, without penalty at the debtholder’s discretion. The debtholder has the right at any time with 3 days written notice to convert any part of the New Note into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion rate of a 40% discount to the lowest market price at the close of market during the 60 days immediately prior to the notice of conversion. The Company recorded $748,192 as liability on stock settled debt associated with this New Note and expensed $748,192 as amortization of debt discount in the year ended December 31, 2020.

 

On October 1, 2020, the Company received a Notice of Conversion in respect to the New Note and converted the full value of the debt ($147,000) into 3,500,001 shares.

 

Due to the variable conversion price associated with the Revolving Secured Convertible Promissory Note disclosed above, the Company has determined that the debt discount is a derivative liability for instruments which are convertible and have not yet been settled. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the fair value of the derivatives on the date they are deemed to be derivative liabilities. The initial embedded derivative liability of $173,585 was recorded as a derivative liability on the consolidated balance sheet and is remeasured to fair value at each balance sheet date with a resulting non-cash gain or loss related to the change in the fair value being charged to earnings (loss).

Advances Payable allocated to Convertible Note

 

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company received $150,000 from an unrelated third party.  Proceeds were for shortfalls in operational expenses.  The advance was non-interest bearing, and there were no specific terms of repayment at that time. On December 21, 2020, the Lender and the Company agreed to allocate interest in the amount of 6% per annum and to accrue interest from the date the advance was first entered into.  At this time the Company executed a convertible promissory note with principal amount of $150,000. The note was due and payable on the one-year anniversary of the date of each advance and was convertible at a price of 15% of the market closing price 5 days prior to presentation of a notice of conversion. The Company recorded $35,185 as liability on stock settled debt associated with this convertible note. The Company recorded interest expenses of $13,558 during the year ended December 31, 2020.

 

On December 30, 2020, a Convertible Promissory Note Assignment and Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) was entered into between the note holder and a buyer (the “Buyer”). Under this Agreement, the Buyer acquired the Convertible Promissory Note for cash consideration of $163,558 from the holder.  The Purchase Agreement assigned all obligations of the Company and the guarantor under the terms of the original convertible note to the Buyer.

 

On December 20, 2020, the Board of Directors approved the issuance of a new Convertible Promissory Note to the Buyer in the amount of $163,558 thereby terminating all obligations of the Company and guarantor under the original convertible promissory note above. The note is unsecured and non-interest bearing.

 

Under the new Convertible Promissory Note the Company had the right to prepay all or any portion of the new convertible promissory note at any time upon 30 days written notice to the debtholder, without penalty at the debtholder’s discretion. The debtholder has the right at any time with 3 days written notice to convert any part of the New Note into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion rate of a 40% discount to the lowest market price at the close of market during the 120 days immediately prior to the notice of conversion. The Company recorded $3,111,366 as the liability on stock settled debt associated with this New Note.

 

On December 31, 2020, the Company received a Notice of Conversion in respect to the New Note and converted the full value of the debt $163,558 into 3,894,245 shares.

NOTE 7:  CUSTOMER DEPOSITS, CONTRACT RECEIVABLES AND CONTRACT LIABILITIES

 

The Company generates revenue from contracts which, among other services, provide wireless and digital promotion rights for certain events including WiFi media network advertising rights, and the development of smart venue wireless networks and software engagement technology products for airports, stadiums, campuses, cities and other venues in the United States and International markets. In general, our contracts require several months of implementation which is charged at a fixed rate, followed by monthly maintenance and management services, ad hoc fixed rate services, and a share in advertising revenue, when applicable.  As a result, the Company will accept deposits from customers, which deposits are applied as each stage of our implementation is complete or under the terms of the service contract.  Invoices issued to customers for the implementation phase of our contracts are due and payable when issued, however, as the associated scope of services have not yet been concluded, these invoices do not yet meet the revenue recognition criteria required to report these amounts as earned revenue (ref: Note 2 – Revenue Recognition).  As a result, deposits when received from customers are included as liabilities on our balance sheets.

NOTE 7:  CUSTOMER DEPOSITS, CONTRACT RECEIVABLES AND CONTRACT LIABILITIES (continued)

 

The following table provides balances of customer receivables and contract liabilities as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

 

   December 31,

Customer receivables (1)  $-   $- 
Contract liabilities (Customer deposits) (2), (a), (b), (c)  $209,000   $287,000 

 

(1) While the Company has outstanding customer invoices for a total of $1,395,000 and $1,460,000 (net of customer deposits received of $209,000 and $287,000, respectively as at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020), these amounts are not yet earned under revenue recognition criteria provided by ASC 606 and therefore, they are not reflected as accounts receivable on the Company’s balance sheets.

 

(2) Contract liabilities are consideration we have received from our customers billed in advance of providing goods or services promised in the future or for work in progress. We defer recognizing this consideration as revenue until we have satisfied the related performance obligation to the customer. Contract liabilities include installation and maintenance charges that are deferred and recognized when the installation is complete or with respect to deposits for maintenance, over the actual or expected contract term, which typically ranges from one to five years depending on the service. Contract liabilities may be included as customer deposits or deferred revenue in our consolidated balance sheets, based on the specifics of the contract.  As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we have recognized $78,000 and $0, respectively, in revenue from customer deposits on hand. The Company and certain customers are currently in negotiations to determine the best way to proceed with the delayed implementation of certain prior period contracts for which we have received deposits but have not completed the scope of work.

 

Performance Obligations

 

As of December 31, 2021, our estimated revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations associated with certain customer contracts that have been invoiced but remain unsatisfied (or partially satisfied) is approximately $1,550,000. While we had originally expected to recognize approximately 30% of this revenue through 2020, with the balance recognized thereafter, the impact of COVID-19 has had a significant impact on these contracts.  The Company is currently in negotiations to determine the best way to proceed with the delayed implementation of these contracts, or their termination.

 

(a) We executed a license agreement for the country of Spain in fiscal 2016 and the Company received an initial deposit of $25,000 against the total licensing fee payable.   This amount has been recorded on the Company’s balance sheets as deferred income.   While the Company and the customer attempted to negotiate an amendment to the terms of the agreement in late fiscal 2019, the onset of COVID-19 resulted in further delays which are ongoing.  As a result, the Company is currently in negotiation for a formal termination of the agreement with this customer.

 

(b) On July 11, 2019, GZMC entered into an Airport WiFi Sponsorship Marketing Agreement with a third party whereunder GZMC will secure long-term, exclusive and non-exclusive smart venues for WiFi marketing, digital marketing and data analytics for various brand sponsors at various airports across the United States. There were several venues anticipated under the terms of the agreement with installations commencing on various schedules. GZMC generated invoices for $100,000 for each of 13 venues, whereby $65,000 per venue is due on receipt of the invoice and the remaining $35,000 is due sixty days thereafter. As at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had received partial payments of $130,000 against the initial deposit required. Previously the Company expected revenue recognition under these contracts to commence in fiscal 2020, however, as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the project has been delayed indefinitely. Funds originally provided for the implementation of this project are anticipated to be applied as a deposit on a project yet to be identified or otherwise, repaid.

NOTE 11: INCOME TAX

 

The income tax expense (benefit) at a federal rate of 21% and a state tax rate of 0% consisted of the following for the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

Total current   $        -     $        -  
Total deferred     -       -

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.

 

The following is a reconciliation of the expected statutory federal income tax and state income tax provisions to the actual income tax benefit for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020:

The Company had deferred income tax assets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 as follows:

 

    December 31,

The Company has several unfiled tax years since a change in control in fiscal 2018, and certain prior filed returns are also open for examination by the taxing authorities. The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. No such interest or penalties were recognized during the periods presented above. The Company had no accruals for interest and penalties at either December 31, 2020 and 2019. The Company’s utilization of any net operating loss carry-forward may be unlikely as a result of the change in control which occurred in fiscal 2018 and its change in business activities.

 

NOTE 12: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

On February 7, 2022, the board of directors of the Company approved and authorized an increase of $10,000 per month in salary for the sole officer of the Company, William Coleman Smith, effective January 1, 2022.

 

Subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2021, pursuant to an Engagement Agreement with Carter, Terry & Company, an authorized, registered broker dealer, the Company issued a total of 10,769 compensation shares.

 

The Company has evaluated subsequent events from the balance sheet date through the date that the financial statements were issued and determined that there are no additional subsequent events requiring disclosure.

ITEM 9A – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

  

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as of December 31, 2021, 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. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, based on the material weaknesses discussed below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act were recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that our disclosure controls are not effectively designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

  

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

  

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. As defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive, principal operating and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the Company’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 GAAP.

  

The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records, that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Company’s assets; (2) 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 Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Company’s management and directors; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

  

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

  

Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting at December 31, 2021. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013). Based on that assessment under those criteria, management has determined that, as of December 31, 2021, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective.

  

Our internal controls are not effective for the following reasons: (i) there is an inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives as management is comprised of only one person who is the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer and, (ii) the Company has just recently formed an audit committee with a financial expert, and thus the Company lacks the board oversight role within the financial reporting process.

  

21

 

 

In order to mitigate the foregoing material weaknesses, we have engaged an outside accounting consultant with significant experience in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP to assist us in the preparation of our financial statements to ensure that these financial statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP. We will continue to monitor the effectiveness of this action and make any changes that our management deems appropriate.

  

We would need to hire additional staff to provide greater segregation of duties. Currently, it is not feasible to hire additional staff to obtain optimal segregation of duties. Management will continue to reassess this matter to determine whether improvement in segregation of duty is feasible. In addition, we would need to expand our board to include independent members.

  

Going forward, we intend to evaluate our processes and procedures and, where practicable and resources permit, implement changes in order to have more effective controls over financial reporting.

  

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the year ended December 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to the exemption provided to issuers that are not “large, accelerated filers” nor “accelerated filers” under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

Family Relationships

 

There are no family relationships among any of our officers or directors. 

 

Committees of the Board of Directors

 

The Company has an audit committee comprised of two independent directors.

  

We have recently formed an audit committee with a “financial expert” within the meaning of the rules and regulations of the SEC.

  

The Company has no nominating or compensation committees at this time. The entire Board participates in the nomination and audit oversight processes and considers executive and director compensation. Given the size of the Company and its stage of development, the entire Board is involved in such decision-making processes. Thus, there is a potential conflict of interest in that our directors and officers have the authority to determine issues concerning management compensation, nominations, and audit issues that may affect management decisions. We are not aware of any other conflicts of interest with any of our executive officers or directors.

  

Code of Ethics

  

The Company has not as yet adopted a code of ethics applicable to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions as required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 due to our small size and limited resources and because management’s attention has been focused on matters pertaining to raising capital and the operation of the business.

 

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports

  

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% percent of our equity securities (“Reporting Persons”) to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, the Company did not have a requirement for Reporting Persons to file reports under Section 16(a) of the Act.

  

Changes in Nominating Process

  

There are no material changes to the procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to our Board.

Notes to Summary Compensation Table:

 

On July 9, 2018, Mr. William Coleman Smith was appointed to the Board of Directors of the Company and as President, Secretary and Treasurer of the Company.  Subsequently, on July 10, 2018, the Company executed a consulting agreement with ELOC Holdings Corp. whereby ELOC will provide the services of Mr. Smith for a fee of $10,000 per month. ELOC Holdings, Corp is a company controlled by Mr. Smith.

 

On April 29, 2014, our 60% controlled subsidiary, GZMC, entered into a management and consulting agreement with Mr. Smith, the sole officer and director of GZMC whereunder GZMC was required to pay an annual salary of $120,000 to Mr. Smith.

 

Effective April 1, 2021, the Company revised Mr. Smith’s compensation so that he receives $10,000 per month directly as an employee in addition to accrued monthly fees for management services provided through controlled entity ELOC of $10,000, and $10,000 in paid monthly salary from GZMC. 

 

Director Compensation

 

Currently, there is no compensation in any form including payments of cash or in equity paid for services rendered as Directors. Additionally, no award of salary or equity has been accrued as payable for any director for any current or prior service.  At this time no other plan for compensation has been developed for either salary or equity compensation. It is contemplated that the registrant would develop and approve a plan as soon as it has adequate resources to do so.  Any future plans would be commensurate with the service provided and not exceed any industry standard for the size and performance of comparable companies in the same industry.

 

Directors may be compensated for out-of-pocket expenses associated with attending Board of Directors’ meetings.

There is no compensation disclosed on the Director Compensation Table below as the Directors of the Company received no compensation as Directors; instead, any compensation received is shown in the Executive Compensation Summary Table above for those Officers who happen also to be Directors of ours.

On August 6, 2021, Mr. Brian Scott Hale and Mr. William Ray Procanik were appointed to the Board of Directors; both agreed to serve on the Board for a minimum of six months, without compensation.

 

Code of Ethics

 

We have not adopted a Code of Ethics and plan to do so in the future.

 

Conflicts of Interest

 

The only conflicts that we foresee are that our officers and directors will devote time to projects that do not involve us.

 

Family Relationships

 

There are no family relationships between any director or executive officer.

 

Director Independence

 

Our board of directors is currently composed of three members, two of whom qualify as independent directors in accordance with the published listing requirements of the NASDAQ Global Market. The NASDAQ independence definition includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not, and has not been for at least three years, one of our employees and that neither the director, nor any of her family members has engaged in various types of business dealings with us. In addition, our board of directors has not made a subjective determination as to each director that no relationships exist which, in the opinion of our board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director, though such subjective determination is required by the NASDAQ rules. Had our board of directors made these determinations, our board of directors would have reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors and us with regard to each director’s business and personal activities and relationships as they may relate to our management and us.

 

Security Holders Recommendations to Board of Directors

 

We welcome comments and questions from our shareholders. Shareholders can direct communications to our Investor Relations team. However, while we appreciate all comments from shareholders, we may not be able to individually respond to all communications. We attempt to address shareholder questions and concerns in our press releases and documents filed with the SEC so that all shareholders have access to information about us at the same time. All communications addressed to our Director and Executive Officers will be reviewed by the appropriate Officer unless the communication is clearly frivolous.

 

27

 

 

Board Committees

 

We have recently formed an audit committee, consisting of our three board members, two of whom are independent.  We do not have any other board committees including a nominating, compensation, or executive committee. We currently have limited operating revenues. Presently, we have two independent directors. If we are able to grow our business and increase our operations in the future, then we will likely seek out and retain additional independent directors with additional financial expertise and expect to form, compensation, and other applicable committees. Further, we do not have a policy with regard to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by security holders. Our directors perform all functions that would otherwise be performed by committees.

 

Our board is actively involved in our risk oversight function and collectively undertakes risk oversight as part of our monthly management meetings. This review of our risk tolerances includes, but is not limited to, financial, legal and operational risks and other risks concerning our reputation and ethical standards.

 

Given our size, we do not have a nominating committee or a diversity policy. Our entire board monitors and assesses the need for and qualifications of additional directors. We may adopt a diversity policy in the future in connection with our anticipated growth.
