Penny
Stock
Our
common stock is considered penny stock under the rules the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC)
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with
transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities
registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ Stock Market System, provided that current price and
volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or quotation system. The penny
stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document
prepared by the Commission, that:
-
contains
a description of the nature and level of risks in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading;
-
contains
a description of the brokers or dealers duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the
customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements of Securities laws; contains a brief, clear,
narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread
between the bid and ask price;
-
contains
a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;
-
defines
significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and
-
contains
such other information and is in such form, including language, type, size and format, as the Commission shall require by
rule or regulation.
The
broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with:
-
bid
and offer quotations for the penny stock;
-
the
compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction;
-
the
number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity
of the marker for such stock; and
-
monthly
account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customers account.
In
addition, the penny stock rules that require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules;
the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and
receive the purchasers written acknowledgement of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions
involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitably statement.
These
disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock.

Series
B Preferred Shares
On

whereby without admitting any wrongdoing on either part, the parties settled all previous agreements and resolved any existing
disputes. Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to issue the creditors 45,000 shares of Series B Preferred
Stock of the Company on a pro-rata basis. Following the issuance and delivery of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock to said
creditors, as well as surrendering the undelivered shares, the Settlement Agreement resulted in the settlement of all debts, liabilities
and obligations between the parties.
18
The
Series B Preferred Stock has a stated value of $100 per share and is convertible into the Companys common stock at a conversion
price of $30.00 per share representing 30 posts split common shares. Furthermore, the Series B Preferred Stock votes on an as
converted basis and carries standard anti-dilution rights. These rights were subsequently removed, except in cases of stock dividends
or splits.
As

Series
C Preferred Shares
On
April 29, 2011, GV Global Communications, Inc. (GV) provided funding to the Company in the aggregate principal amount
of $111,000 (the Loan). On September 25, 2012, the Company and GV entered into a Conversion Agreement
pursuant to which the Company agreed to convert the Loan into 10,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock of the Company, which
was approved by the Board of Directors.
Each
share of Series C Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of GV, into such number of shares of common stock of the Company
as determined by dividing the Stated Value (as defined below) by the Conversion Price (as defined below). The Conversion
Price for each share is equal to a 50% discount to the average of the lowest three lowest closing bid prices of the Companys
common stock during the 10-day trading period prior to the conversion with a minimum conversion price of $0.02. The
stated value is $11.00 per share (the Stated Value). The Series C Preferred Stock has no liquidation
preference, does not pay dividends and the holder of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share of
common stock that the Series C Preferred Stock shall be convertible into. GV has contractually agreed to restrict its ability
to convert the Series C Preferred Stock and receive shares of the Companys common stock such that the number of shares
of the Companys common stock held by it and its affiliates after such conversion does not exceed 4.9% of the then issued
and outstanding shares of the Companys common stock.
During
the year ended December 31, 2014, GV Global Communications, Inc. converted 7,770 of its Series C Preferred Stock into 120 post-splits.
During the third quarter of 2014, the Company received 42 post-split common shares to adjust the shares issued to reflect the
amount that both they and the Company believed that they were owed. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, GV owns 700 Series C Preferred
Shares.
The

defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.

at the option of the holder but subject to the Company increasing its authorized shares of common stock, into such number of shares
of common stock of the Company as determined by dividing the Stated Value ($500 per share) by the conversion price ($10.00 per
share). The Series H Preferred Stock has no liquidation preference, does not pay dividends and the holder of Series
H Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share of common stock that the Series H Preferred Stock may be convertible
into. On July 8, 2019, the Company entered a Consulting Agreement with Glen Eagles Glen Eagles Acquisition LP (Glen)

Developments
GBT
Tokenize Joint Venture
On
March 6, 2020, the Company through its newly acquired wholly owned subsidiary, Greenwich International Holdings, a Costa Rica
corporation (Greenwich), entered into a Joint Venture and Territorial License Agreement (the Tokenize Agreement)
with Tokenize-It, S.A. (Tokenize), which is owned by a Costa Rica Trust represented by Pablo Gonzalez (Gonzalez).
Gonzalez also represents Gonzalez Costa Rica Trust, which holds a note in the principal amount of $10,000,000 and is also a shareholder
of the Company. Under the Tokenize Agreement, the parties formed GBT Tokenize Corp., a Nevada corporation (GBT Tokenize).
The purpose of GBT Tokenize is to develop, maintain and support source codes for its proprietary technologies including advanced
mobile chip technologies, tracking, radio technologies, AI core engine, electronic design automation, mesh, games, data storage,
networking, IT services, business process outsourcing development services, customer service, technical support and quality assurance
for business, customizable and dedicated inbound and outbound calls solutions, as well as digital communications processing for
enterprises and startups (Technology Portfolio), throughout the State of California. Upon generating any revenue
from the Technology Portfolio, the Joint Venture will earn the first right of refusal for other territories.
Tokenize
shall contribute the services and resources for the development of the Technology Portfolio to GBT Tokenize. The Company shall
contribute 100,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company (GBT Shares) to GBT Tokenize. Tokenize and the Company
will each own 50% of GBT Tokenize. The Company pledged its 50% ownership in GBT Tokenize and its 100% ownership of Greenwich to
Tokenize to secure its Technology Portfolio investment. The Company shall appoint two directors and Tokenize shall appoint one
director of GBT Tokenize.
In
addition, GBT Tokenize and Gonzalez entered into a Consulting Agreement in which Gonzalez is engaged to provide services in consideration
of $33,333.33 per month payable quarterly which may be paid in shares of common stock calculated by the amount owed divided by
the Companys 10-day VWAP. Gonzalez will provide services in connection with the development of the business as well as
GBT Tokenizes capital raising efforts. The term of the Consulting Agreement is two years. The closing of the Tokenize Agreement
occurred on March 9, 2020. This investment was fully impaired as of March 31, 2020.
Via
this Joint Venture, the parties commenced development of a development of an intelligent human vital signs device, suggested
named qTerm. The platform is an expansion of the existing license agreement with GBT Tokenize Corp., which provided GBT Tokenize
Corp. with an exclusive territory of California to develop certain of the Companys technology. As the nature of the platform
cannot be restricted only to California, the Companys joint venture GBT Tokenize Corp. will be compensated with additional
two hundred million shares of the Company to strengthen its funding, subject to board approval. A provisional patent application
for the qTerm Medical Device was filed on March 30, 2020 with the USPTO. The application has been assigned serial number
63001564. The Joint Venture completed successfully the first prototype. There is no guarantee that the Company will be successful
in researching, developing or implementing this product into the market. In order to successfully implement this concept, the
Company will need to raise adequate capital to support its research and, if successfully researched, developed and granted regulatory
approval, the Company would need to enter into a strategic relationship with a third party that has experience in manufacturing,
selling and distributing this product. There is no guarantee that the Company will be successful in any or all of these critical
steps.

COVID-19
Pandemic
The
Company operates in a high-tech marketplace and relies on professionals and partnerships all over the world, which is impacted
by the global pandemic, causing the Companys resources to be affected. Our business operations have been and may continue
to be materially and adversely affected by the coronavirus disease COVID-19.
An
outbreak of respiratory illness caused by COVID-19 emerged in Wuhan city, Hubei province, PRC, in late 2019 and has been expanding
globally. COVID-19 is considered to be highly contagious and poses a serious public health threat.
On
March 19, 2020, California Governor Gavin Newsom issued a stay at home order to protect the health and well-being of all Californians
and to establish consistency across the state in order to slow the spread of COVID-19. California was therefore under strict quarantine
control and travel has been severely restricted, resulting in disruptions to work, communications, and access to files (due to
limited access to facilities). Since then, other measures have been imposed in other countries and major cities in the USA, including
Los Angeles, and throughout the world in an effort to contain the COVID-19 outbreak. The World Health Organization (the WHO)
is closely monitoring and evaluating the situation. On March 11, 2020, the WHO declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a pandemic, expanding
its assessment of the threat beyond the global health emergency it had announced in January. Any outbreak of such epidemic illness
or other adverse public health developments in the USA or elsewhere in the world may materially and adversely affect the global
economy, our markets and our business. The stay at home order was lifted in California only on January 25, 2021.
In
the first quarter of 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak has caused disruptions in our development operations, which have resulted in
delays on exiting projects. A prolonged disruption or any further unforeseen delay in our operations of the development, delivery
and assembly process within any of our activities could continue to result in, increased costs and reduced revenue.
We
cannot foresee whether the outbreak of COVID-19 will be effectively contained, nor can we predict the severity and duration of
its impact. If the outbreak of COVID-19 is not effectively and timely controlled, our business operations and financial condition
may be materially and adversely affected as a result of the deteriorating market outlook for sales, the slowdown in regional and
national economic growth, weakened liquidity and financial condition of our customers and vendors or other factors that we cannot
foresee. Any of these factors and other factors beyond our control could have an adverse effect on the overall business environment,
cause uncertainties, cause our business to suffer in ways that we cannot predict and materially and adversely impact our business,
financial condition and results of operations.

was $11,206,839, an increase of $851,886 or 8.2% from $10,354,953 for the same period in 2019. The decrease is principally due to i) a
change in the fair value of the derivative liability, ii) a decrease in amortization of discount and interest and financing costs; and
iii) a decrease in realized and unrealized loss on a marketable equity security.
The operating results of our discontinued operations
for Ugopherservices, ECS Prepaid, Electronic Check Services and the Central State Legal Services businesses for the year ended December

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our cash was $113,034 and $59,634 at December 31,
2020 and 2019, respectively. Cash used in operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2020 was $994,426, compared to $6,623,463
during the same period in 2019. Significant differences exist between the periods, including warrants issued for services, change in fair
value of derivative liability, financing costs, impairment of assets and unrealized gain (loss) on marketable equity securities. Our working
capital position worsened going from a working capital deficit of $11,712,886 at December 31, 2019 to a working capital deficit of $27,710,040
at December 31, 2020, principally as a result of an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses; an increase in derivative liability;
an increase in convertible notes payable; offset by a decrease in note payable. Cash flows used in investing activities were $231,771
during the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $1,152,418 for the same period in 2019. The decrease is due to the amount paid for
an investment during the year ended December 31, 2020. Cash from financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $1,279,597,
compared to $5,972,005 for the same period in 2019. The decrease is due to the issuance of convertible notes and notes payable in 2019.
We sustained net losses of $17,994,888 for the year
ended December 31, 2020. In addition, we had a working capital deficit of $27,710,040 and accumulated deficit of $270,651,339 at December

In
September of 2017 we purchased the assets of RWJ Advanced Marketing, LLC, and then after ECS Prepaid LLC, Electronic Check Services,
Inc. and Central States Legal Services, Inc. in 2018. RWJ and ECS have historically generated significant revenues which we do
not expect to continue in the future, as the Company divested its investment in ECS Prepaid LLC, Electronic Check Services, Inc.
and Central States Legal Services, Inc. on or around September 2019, left only with the acquired assets from RWJ Advanced Marketing,
LLC which in litigation, as disclosed in this report. In addition, during the last half of 2018 and the first few months of 2019,
the Company has raised approximately $9,500,000 of net proceeds through the issuance of convertible debt and notes payable (see
discussion below). We intend to continue to make investments to support our business growth and we will require additional funds
to respond to business challenges, including the need to develop new features and products or enhance our existing products, improve
our operating infrastructure or acquire complementary businesses and technologies. Further, we need additional capital to continue
operations. Accordingly, we need to engage in equity or debt financings to secure additional funds. We expect that we have sufficient
capital to maintain operations through the end of 2020. In order to fully implement our business plan, we will need to raise $10,000,000.
The Company will need to raise additional capital in the future of which there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to
successfully raise such capital on acceptable terms. With the current cash on hand, cash in our attorneys trust account
and additional cash anticipated to be raised in the future, we believe we will have sufficient cash to meet our obligations for
the next 12 months.
$10,000,000
for GBT Technologies S. A. acquisition
In
accordance with the acquisition of GBT-CR the Company issued a convertible note in the principal amount of $10,000,000. The convertible
note bears interest of 6% per annum and is payable at maturity on December 31, 2021. At the election of the holder, the convertible
note can be converted into a maximum of 20,000 shares of Series H Preferred Stock. Each share of Series H Preferred Stock is convertible,
at the option of the holder but subject to the Company increasing its authorized shares of common stock, into such number of shares
of common stock of the Company as determined by dividing the Stated Value ($500 per share) by the conversion price ($10.00 per
share). The convertible note is convertible into common stock at a fixed price that was higher than the Companys
common stock on the date of grant, therefore, this convertible note does not contain a beneficial conversion feature. Due to stock
split (See Note 1) the conversion feature is substantially not in the money. The parties along with Stanley Hills, LLV as potential
funder are in negotiations to address the issue per the Note holder demands to mitigate its damages. There is no guarantee that
the Company will be successful in resolving this issue.

by the Company to integrate and expand capabilities between GBT-CR and the Company. The Company shall pay Glen $1,000,000 through
the issuance of a 6% Convertible Note. At the election of Glen, the Convertible Note can be converted into a maximum of 2,000
shares of Series H Preferred Stock. Each share of Series H Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder but subject
to the Company increasing its authorized shares of common stock, into such number of shares of common stock of the Company as
determined by dividing the Stated Value ($500 per share) by the conversion price ($10.00 per share). The Series H Preferred
Stock has no liquidation preference, does not pay dividends and the holder of Series H Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one
vote for each share of common stock that the Series H Preferred Stock may be convertible into. In addition, the Company entered
into an Amendment of a Common Stock Purchase Warrant held by Glen to acquire nine million shares of common stock that had been
assigned to Glen by Guardian Patch LLC. Pursuant to the amendment, the Company agreed to provide that the Common Stock Purchase
Warrant may be exercised on a cashless basis and provided a beneficial ownership limitation of 4.99%. On or about June 23, 2020,

Growth Fund
On

LLC (the Investor) pursuant to which the Company issued a Senior Secured Redeemable Convertible Debenture (the Debenture)
in the aggregate face value of $8,340,000. In connection with the issuance of the Debenture and pursuant to the terms of the SPA,
the Company issued a Common Stock Purchase Warrant to acquire up to 225,000 shares of common stock for a term of three years (the
Warrant) on a cash-only basis at an exercise price of $100.00 per share with respect to 50,000 Warrant Shares, $75.00
with respect to 75,000 Warrant Shares and $50.00 with respect to 100,000 Warrant Shares. The holder may not exercise any portion
of the Warrants to the extent that the holder would own more than 4.99% of the Companys outstanding common stock immediately
after exercise. The outstanding principal amount may be converted at any time into shares of the Companys common
stock at a conversion price equal to 95% of the Market Price less $5.00 (the conversion price is lowered by 10% upon the
occurrence of each Triggering Event – the current conversion price is 75% of the Market Price less $5.00). The Market Price
is the average of the 5 lowest individual daily volume weighted average prices during the period the Debenture is outstanding.
On May 28, 2019, the Investor delivered to the Company a Notice of Default and Notice of Sale of Collateral (the
Notice). On December 23, 2019, in arbitration between the Company and the Investor, an Interim Award was entered
in favor of the Investor. On January 31, 2020, the Company was informed that a final award was entered (the Final Award).
The Final Award affirms that certain sections of the Debenture constitute unenforceable liquidated damages penalties and
were stricken. Further, it was determined that the Investor was entitled to recovery of their attorneys fees. Consequently,
the arbitrator awarded Investor an award of $4,034,444 plus interest of 7.25% accrued from May 15, 2019 and costs in the amount
of $55,613. On February 18, 2020, the Company filed a motion with the United States District Court District of Nevada (the Nevada
Court) to confirm the Final Award and a motion to consolidate Investors application to confirm the Final Award filed
in the U.S. District Court of the Virgin Islands (Case No: 3 :20-cv-00012-CVG-RM) (the Virgin Island Court). On
February 27, 2020, the Nevada Court denied the Companys motion to confirm the Final Award and motion to consolidate and
further decided that the confirmation of the Final Award should be litigated in the Virgin Island Court. As such, on February
27, 2020, the Company filed a Notice of Entry of Order as well as a Motion to Confirm the Arbitration Award, address the outstanding
issues regarding whether Investors rights are subordinated to other creditors and, thereafter, oversee a commercially reasonable
foreclosure sale (Case No: 3 :20-cv-00012-CVG-RM). It was the Companys position that the Final Award must first be confirmed
and all questions regarding the rights of Investor relative to those of other creditors must be determined before any foreclosure
sale can proceed. It is further the position of the Company that the previously disclosed foreclosure sale scheduled by Investor
is being conducted in a commercially unreasonable manner and that if Discover proceeded forward with the foreclosure sale it did
so at its own risk. Nevertheless, on February 28, 2020, Investor advised that it conducted a sale of the Companys assets.
As the date of this report Investor failed to present a deed of sale for the alleged sale that allegedly took place as noticed.
The Company filed with Virgin Island Court the motions disputing the validity of the alleged sale. On July 28, 2020, Investor
filed in the State of Nevada a motion for attorneys $48,844 and costs $716. The Company filed an answer on August 11, 2020. On
October 16, 2020, Investor motion was denied.

stock, into such number of shares of common stock of the Company as determined by dividing the Stated Value ($500 per share) by
the conversion price ($10.00 per share). The Series H Preferred Stock has no liquidation preference, does not pay dividends
and the holder of Series H Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share of common stock that the Series H Preferred

Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
The
Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect
on the Companys financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity,
capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates
Our
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based upon our financial statements,
which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S.
GAAP). The preparation of our financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires us to make certain estimates,
judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements,
the reported amounts and classification of revenues and expenses during the periods presented, and the disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and material changes in these estimates
or assumptions could occur in the future. Changes in estimates are recorded on the period in which they become known. We base
our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances
and at that time, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities
that are not readily-apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates if past experience
or other assumptions do not turn out to be substantially accurate.
We
believe that the accounting policies described below are critical to understanding our business, results of operations, and financial
condition because they involve significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements. An accounting
is deemed to be critical if it requires a judgment or accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are
highly uncertain, and if different estimates that could have been used, or if changes in the accounting estimates that are reasonably
likely to occur periodically, could materially impact our financial statements. Other significant accounting policies, primarily
those with lower levels of uncertainty than those discussed below, are also critical to understanding our financial statements.
The notes to our financial statements contain additional information related to our accounting policies and should be read in
conjunction with this discussion.
Presentation
of Financial Statements
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America (U.S. GAAP).
Marketable
Equity Securities
The
Company accounts for marketable equity securities in accordance with ASC Topic 321, Investments – equity securities.
Marketable equity securities are reported at fair value based on quotations available on securities exchanges with any unrealized
gain or loss being reported as a component of other income (expense) on the statement of operations. The portion of marketable
equity security expected to be sold within twelve months of the balance sheet date is reported as a current asset.

Revenue
Recognition
Accounting
Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ( Topic 606 ),
became effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. The Companys revenue recognition disclosure reflects its updated accounting
policies that are affected by this new standard. The Company applied the modified retrospective transition method
for open contracts for the implementation of Topic 606. The Company had no significant post-delivery obligations,
this new standard did not result in a material recognition of revenue on the Companys accompanying consolidated
financial statements for the cumulative impact of applying this new standard. The Company made no adjustments to its previously-reported
total revenues, as those periods continue to be presented in accordance with its historical accounting practices under Topic
605, Revenue Recognition .
Revenue is recognized under Topic 606 as
follows:
● executed
contracts with the Companys customers that it believes are legally enforceable;
● identification
of performance obligations in the respective contract;
● determination
of the transaction price for each performance obligation in the respective contract;
● allocation
the transaction price to each performance obligation; and
● recognition
of revenue only when the Company satisfies each performance obligation.
These
five elements, as applied to each of the Companys revenue category, is summarized below:
● IT
services - revenue is recorded on a monthly basis as services are provided; and
● License
fees and Royalties – revenue is recognized based on the terms of the agreement with its customer.
Derivative
Financial Instruments
The
Company evaluates all of its agreements to determine if such instruments have derivatives or contain features that qualify as
embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is
initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in
the statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses a weighted average Black-Scholes-Merton
option pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of
derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the
end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current
based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet
date. As of December 31, 2020, the Companys only derivative financial instrument was an embedded conversion feature associated
with convertible notes payable due to certain provisions that allow for a change in the conversion price based on a percentage
of the Companys stock price at the date of conversion.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
For
certain of the Companys financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and short-term debt,
the carrying amounts approximate their fair values due to their short maturities.
FASB
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures , requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments
held by the Company. FASB ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments , defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation
hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The carrying
amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments
and are a reasonable estimate of their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments
and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined
as follows:
● Level
1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
31
● Level
2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices
for identical or similar assets in inactive markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly
or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
● Level
3 inputs to the valuation methodology us one or more unobservable inputs which are significant to the fair value measurement.
The
Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under FASB ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing
Liabilities from Equity , and FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging .
For
certain financial instruments, the carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash and current liabilities, including
convertible notes payable, each qualify as a financial instrument, and are a reasonable estimate of their fair values because
of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market
rate of interest.
The
Company uses Level 2 inputs for its valuation methodology for derivative liabilities as their fair values were determined by using
the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model based on various assumptions. The Companys derivative liabilities are adjusted to
reflect fair value at each period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations
as adjustments to fair value of derivatives.
Dividends
The
Company has not yet adopted any policy regarding payment of dividends. No cash dividends have been paid or declared since the
Date of Inception.
