General Enterprise Ventures, Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2023
Note 1 – Nature of Operations and Going Concern
General Enterprise Ventures, Inc., (the “Company” or “GEVI”), was originally incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on March 14, 1990.
Business
We are a fully integrated technology company structured to provide mergers and acquisitions of new and available technology. Through our services, we incubate first-to-market products and help existing companies accelerate their product development within all regulatory requirements.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared (i) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and (ii) assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not generated significant income to date. The Company is subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with a business with no substantive revenue, as well as limitations on its operating capital resources. These matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. In light of these matters, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise capital and generate revenue and profits in the future.
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the unaudited interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring entries necessary for a fair statement of the periods presented for: (a) the financial position; (b) the result of operations; and (c) cash flows, have been made in order to make the unaudited interim financial statements presented not misleading. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operations for a full year. The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2023.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. The estimates and judgments will also affect the reported amounts for certain expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these good faith estimates and judgments.

Table of Contents
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of balance sheet presentation and reporting of cash flows, the Company considers all unrestricted demand deposits, money market funds and highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of less than 90 days to be cash and cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents. The Company had $ 63,529 and $ 55,434 cash equivalents at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Inventory
Inventories consist of raw materials which are stated at lower cost or net realizable value, with cost being determined on the weighted average method. As of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the Company held inventories of $ 102,268 and $ 114,645 , respectively.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, the Company recorded cost of goods sold of $ 13,854 and $ 0 associated with the cost of inventories sold, respectively. The Company did not write-off any inventories as unsalable during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method. Currently our assets consist solely of furniture and equipment which we amortize over a useful life of 5 years.
Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Improvements of a major nature are capitalized. At the time of retirement or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gains or losses are reflected in income.
Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable or that the useful lives of these assets are no longer appropriate. Each impairment test is based on a comparison of the undiscounted future cash flows to the recorded value of the asset. If impairment is indicated, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy to classify and disclose all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, in periods subsequent to their initial measurement. The hierarchy requires the Company to use observable inputs when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs, when determining fair value. The three tiers are defined as follows:
●
Level 1—Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;
●
Level 2—Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly in the marketplace for identical or similar assets and liabilities; and
●
Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market data, which require the Company to develop its own assumptions.
The Company’s financial instruments, including cash, prepaid expenses, inventory, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and due to related party, are carried at amortized cost. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the carrying amounts of these instruments approximated their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.
Related Parties
The Company follows ASC 850, “Related Party Disclosures,” for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions (see Note 8).

Table of Contents
Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Common Share
Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive securities had been issued.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, the following common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as the result of the computation was anti-dilutive.

Revenue
We recognize revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . The standard’s stated core principle is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, ASC 606 includes provisions within a five-step model that includes identifying the contract with a customer, identifying the performance obligations in the contract, determining the transaction price, allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognizing revenue when, or as, an entity satisfies a performance obligation.
Our revenues currently consist of products used for lumber products for fire prevention. Revenue is recognized at a point in time that is which the risks and rewards of ownership of the products transfer from the Company to the customer.
Note 2 – Discontinued Operations
Crypto mining
On April 1, 2022, the Company implemented a plan to divest its crypto mining operations to focus its resources on the MFB acquisition (see Note 3). The Company recognized a loss of $ 2,030 from the disposition of its crypto mining operations, which consisted of the relinquishment of the digital currency assets in exchange for settlement of the related party note payable associated with the acquisition of the equipment.
