(“OLB” the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on November 18, 2004 and provides services through its wholly-owned subsidiaries and business segments. The Company generates its revenue through two business segments its Fintech Services and Cryptocurrency Business segments. Fintech Services: The Company provides integrated financial and transaction processing services (“Fintech Services”) to businesses throughout the United States. Through its eVance Capital, Inc. subsidiary (“eVance”), the Company provides an integrated suite of third-party merchant payment processing services and related proprietary software enabling products that deliver credit and debit card-based internet payment processing solutions primarily to small and mid-sized merchants operating in physical “brick and mortar” business environments, on the internet and in retail settings requiring both wired and wireless mobile payment solutions. eVance operates as an independent sales organization (“ISO”) generating individual merchant processing contracts in exchange for future residual payments. As a wholesale ISO, eVance has a direct contractual relationship with the merchants and takes greater responsibility in the approval and monitoring of merchants than do retail ISOs and as a result, receives additional consideration for this service and risk. The Company’s Securus365, Inc. (“Securus365”) subsidiary operates as a retail ISO and receives residual income as commission for merchants it places with third party processors. CrowdPay.us, Inc. (“CrowdPay”) is a Crowdfunding platform used to facilitate a capital raise anywhere from $ 1,000,000 -$ 50,000,000 of various types of securities under Regulation D, Regulation Crowdfunding, Regulation A and the Securities Act of 1933. To date, the activities of this subsidiary have been nominal. OmniSoft.io, Inc. (“OmniSoft”) operates a software platform for small merchants. The Omnicommerce applications work on an iPad, mobile device and the web and allows customers to sell a store’s products in a physical, retail setting. To date, the activities of this subsidiary have been nominal when compared to the overall business. The Company also provides ecommerce development and consulting services on a project-by-project basis. Cryptocurrency Business: On July 23, 2021, the Company formed DMINT, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary (“DMINT”). The purpose of DMINT is to operate its business related to cryptocurrency mining (“Cryptocurrency Business”). On July 28, 2021, the Company entered into an exclusive agreement with Cai Energy Blockchain, Inc. (“CAI”) whereby CAI provided the Company with an exclusive natural gas supply agreement (the “Services”). In exchange for the Services, the Company granted CAI options to purchase up to 767,918 shares of Common Stock, $ 0.0001 par value (with a fair value of approximately $ 4.5 million on the date of grant) at an exercise price of $ 0.0001 per share. The natural gas is being used in connection with theCryptocurrency Business. On May 14, 2021, the Company formed OLBit, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary (“OLBit”). The purpose of OLBit is to hold the Company’s assets and operate its business related to its emerging lending and transactional business leveraging the Company’s Cryptocurrency Business and Fintech Services business. 6 COVID-19 Impact On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 (coronavirus) outbreak a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern” and on March 10, 2020, declared it to be a pandemic. The virus and actions taken to mitigate its spread have had and are expected to continue to have a broad adverse impact on the economies and financial markets of many countries, including the geographical areas in which the Company operates. In response to the pandemic, the Company has been working with merchants to address potential changes to the purchase patterns of consumers. In addition, it has been focusing on servicing merchants that sell products with an extended delivery time frame, that have products that are paid for in advance, and that work in the catering, ticketing, limo and travel related businesses which have been directly impacted by the social distancing requirement of the pandemic. Further, for those of the Company’s employees that are able to perform their job remotely, the Company implemented a “remote work” policy and provided employees with the technology necessary to continue to do their jobs from home and for those employees that are unable to perform their job from a remote location, the Company has taken steps to ensure appropriate distancing, continue to require wearing masks in the office and added sanitizing stations along with requiring frequent hand washing and work station cleaning. In addition, the Company has been encouraging its employees to get vaccinated, if possible. At June 30, 2022, all employees were no longer working remotely and had returned to the office. However, the Company continues to monitor and follow the advice of federal and state authorities. The Company has not seen a material impact on its business since states began to roll back restrictions on businesses in the United States. NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which management believes are necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company as of and for the six month period ending June 30, 2022 and not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2022. These unaudited 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, 2021. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s accounting estimates include the collectability of receivables, useful lives of long-lived assets and recoverability of those assets, impairment in fair value of goodwill, valuation allowances for income taxes, stock-based compensation. Principles of Consolidation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, eVance, Securus, CrowdPay, Omnisoft, OLBit, DMINT and Crowd Ignition, Inc. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial information to conform to the presentation used in the financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. The Company’s cash is deposited with major financial institutions. At times, such deposits may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurable amount (“FDIC”). As of June 30, 2022, the Company had $ 2,532,815 of cash in excess of the FDIC’s $ 250,000 insurance limit. 7 Operating Segments Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which discrete financial information is available that is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), or decision maker group, in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. Our chief operating decision–making group is composed of the Chief Executive Officer and Vice President - Finance. The Company has two operating segments as of June 30, 2022. See Note 13, “Segment Information”. Net Loss per Share Basic net loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and dilutive potentially outstanding shares of common stock during the period. The weighted average number of common shares for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 does not include warrants to acquire up to 8,563,127 and 2,368,978 shares of common stock, respectively, because of their anti-dilutive effect. The weighted average number of common shares for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 does not include up to 779,029 and 11,112 options, respectively, to purchase common stock because of their anti-dilutive effect. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable represent contractual residual payments due from the Company’s processing partners or other customers. Residual payments are determined based on transaction fees and revenues from the credit and debit card processing activity of merchants for which the Company’s processing partners pay the Company. Based on collection experience and periodic reviews of outstanding receivables, management considers all accounts receivable for our residual payments to be fully collectible and accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts is required; however, CrowdPay has a recorded an allowance of approximately $ 0 and $ 38,000 as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Reserve for Chargeback Losses Disputes between a cardholder and a merchant periodically arise as a result of, among other things, cardholder dissatisfaction with merchandise quality or merchant services. Such disputes may not be resolved in the merchant’s favor. In these cases, the transaction is “charged back” to the merchant, which means the purchase price is refunded to the customer through the merchant’s bank and charged to the merchant. If the merchant has inadequate funds, the Company must bear the credit risk for the full amount of the transaction. The Company evaluates the risk for such transactions and estimates the potential loss for chargebacks based primarily on historical experience and records a loss reserve accordingly. Revenue Recognition and Cost of Revenues The Company receives a percentage of recurring monthly transaction related fees comprised of credit and debit card fees charged to merchants, net of association fees, otherwise known as Interchange, as well as certain service charges and convenience fees, for payment processing services, including authorization, capture, clearing, settlement and information reporting of electronic transactions. Fees are calculated on either a percentage of the dollar volume of the transaction or a fixed fee or a hybrid of the two and are recognized at the time of the transaction. In the case of “wholesale” residual revenue in which the Company has a direct contractual relationship with the merchant, bears risk of chargebacks and performs underwriting on the merchants, the Company records the full discount charged to the merchant as revenue and the related interchange and other processing fees as expenses. In cases of residual revenue where the Company is not responsible for merchant underwriting and has no chargeback liability and has no or limited contractual relationship with the merchant, the Company records the amount it receives from the processor net of interchange and other processing fees as revenue. 8 Disaggregation of Revenue The following table presents the Company’s revenue disaggregated by revenue source: For the Three Months Ended June 30, For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 Revenue from contracts with customers: Wholesale contracts $ 7,290,143 $ 2,004,415 $ 14,996,351 $ 3,450,272 Retail contracts $ 379,599 $ 441,804 $ 753,372 $ 870,953 Other transaction and processing fees $ 494,727 $ 387,353 $ 936,865 $ 738,751 Cryptocurrency mining fees $ 207,966 $ — $ 472,306 $ — Total fees $ 8,372,435 $ 2,833,572 $ 17,158,894 $ 5,059,976 The Company recognizes revenue under ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”). The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps: ● Identification of a contract with a customer; ● Identification of the performance obligations in the contract; ● Determination of the transaction price; ● Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and ● Recognition of revenue when or as the performance obligations are satisfied. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Shipping and handling activities associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as a fulfillment activity and recognized as revenue at the point in time at which control of the goods transfers to the customer. As a practical expedient, the Company does not adjust the transaction price for the effects of a significant financing component if, at contract inception, the period between customer payment and the transfer of goods or services is expected to be one year or less. Transaction and processing fees Fees for the Company’s transaction and processing arrangements are typically billed and paid on a monthly basis. The Company receives a percentage of recurring monthly transaction related fees comprised of credit and debit card fees charged to merchants, net of association fees, otherwise known as Interchange, as well as certain service charges and convenience fees, for payment processing services, including authorization, capture, clearing, settlement and information reporting of electronic transactions. Fees are calculated on either a percentage of the dollar, volume of the transaction or a fixed fee or a hybrid of the two and are recognized at the time of the transaction. These merchant services represent a single performance obligation satisfied over time and that the same measure of progress should be used to measure the Company’s progress toward complete satisfaction of the performance obligation. The Company will recognize revenue on a monthly basis as the services are transferred to the customer in short daily increments that qualify for series guidance as the best measure of the transfer of control. In wholesale contracts, the Company recognizes transaction and processing fees on a gross basis as the Company is the principal in the merchant services. The Company has concluded it is the principal because it has a direct contractual relationship with the merchant, is primarily responsible for the delivery of services to the merchants, including performing underwriting, has discretion in setting prices, and bears risk of chargebacks and other merchant losses. The Company also has the unilateral ability to accept or reject a transaction based on criteria established by the Company. As the principal, the Company records the full discount charged to the merchant as revenue and the related interchange and other processing fees within cost of revenues. 9 In retail contracts, the Company is not responsible for merchant underwriting, has no chargeback liability and has no or limited contractual relationship with the merchant. As such, the Company records the net amount it receives from the processor, after interchange and other interchange and other processing fees, as revenue. Merchant equipment sales and other The Company generates revenue through the sale and rental of merchant equipment. The Company satisfies its performance obligation upon delivery of equipment to merchants and recognizes revenue at a point in time. The Company allows for customer returns which are accounted for as variable consideration. The Company estimates these amounts based on historical experience and reduces revenue recognized. The Company invoices customers upon delivery of the equipment to merchants, and payments from such customers are due upon invoicing. The Company offers hardware installment sales to customers with terms ranging from three to forty-eight months. The Company allocates a portion of the consideration received from these arrangements to a financing component when it determines that a significant financing component exists. The financing component is subsequently recognized as financing revenue separate from hardware revenue, within subscription and services-based revenue, over the terms of the arrangement with the customer. Pursuant to practical expedients afforded under ASC 606, the Company does not recognize a financing component for hardware installment sales that have a term of one year or less. Cryptocurrency mining The Company has entered into digital asset mining pools by executing contracts, as amended from time to time, with the mining pool operators to provide computing power to the mining pool. The contracts are terminable at any time by either party and the Company’s enforceable right to compensation only begins when the Company provides computing power to the mining pool operator. In exchange for providing computing power, the Company is entitled to a fractional share of the fixed cryptocurrency award the mining pool operator receives (less digital asset transaction fees to the mining pool operator which are immaterial and are recorded as a deduction from revenue), for successfully adding a block to the blockchain. The Company’s fractional share is based on the proportion of computing power the Company contributed to the mining pool operator to the total computing power contributed by all mining pool participants in solving the current algorithm. Providing computing power to solve complex cryptographic algorithms in support of the Bitcoin blockchain (in a process known as “solving a block”) is an output of the Company’s ordinary activities. The provision of providing such computing power is the only performance obligation in the Company’s contracts with mining pool operators. The transaction consideration the Company receives, if any, is noncash consideration, which the Company measures at fair value on the date received, which is not materially different than the fair value at contract inception or the time the Company has earned the award from the pools. The consideration is all variable. Because it is not probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will not occur, the consideration is constrained until the mining pool operator successfully places a block (by being the first to solve an algorithm) and the Company receives confirmation of the consideration it will receive, at which time revenue is recognized. There is no significant financing component in these transactions. Fair value of the cryptocurrency award received is determined using the quoted price of the related cryptocurrency at the time of receipt. Each individual unit of cryptocurrency held by the Company is a separate unit of account. There is currently no specific definitive guidance under GAAP or alternative accounting framework for the accounting for cryptocurrencies recognized as revenue or held, and management has exercised significant judgment in determining the appropriate accounting treatment. In the event authoritative guidance is enacted by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), the Company may be required to change its policies, which could have an effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results from operations. 10 NOTE 3 – LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At June 30, 2022, the Company had cash of approximately $ 3.6 million and working capital of approximately $ 2.8 million. As such, the Company believes it has sufficient liquidity to fund its future operations and capital requirements for a period of at least twelve months from the date these consolidated financial statements are issued.

Impairment losses are recognized if expected future cash flows of the related assets are less than their carrying values. Measurement of an impairment loss is based on the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Property and equipment are first recorded at cost. Depreciation and is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the various classes of assets. Maintenance and repair expenses, as incurred, are charged to expense.

NOTE 6 – NOTE PAYABLE On November 24, 2021, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) dated as of November 15, 2021 with FFS Data Corporation (“Seller”) whereby we acquired a portfolio of merchants in the Cannabidiol (or “CBD”) industry, along with other merchants utilizing financial transaction processing services (the “Purchased Assets”). The purchase price was $ 20 million, with $ 16 million paid at closing, $ 2 million payable within six months after closing, and a $ 2 million payment to be transferred to an escrow account, contingent upon an Attrition Adjustment, as described in the Agreement. Company management has recognized a liability for the contingent payment amount. However, on July 18, 2022, the Company notified the Seller of certain breaches of contract relating to, among other things, representations made by Seller in the Agreement, for which it will seek a reduction or cancellation of the final payment and a potential reduction in the overall purchase price. On November 29, 2021, the Company entered into a Master Equipment Finance Agreement (the “MFA”) with VFS LLC (“VFS”) which would allow the Company to finance the purchase of certain equipment. The collateral and interest rate are determined at the time the Company borrows the funds. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company received, as an initial draw on the MFA, $875,000 from VFS (the “Equipment Loan”). The Equipment Loan is secured by cryptocurrency mining computers being utilized by DMINT. The Equipment Loan requires monthly payments of $24,837.75 until the loan is repaid in full or it matures on November 29, 2024, requiring a full payment of all principal and accrued and unpaid interest. 12 NOTE 7 – STOCK OPTIONS A summary of the status of the Company’s outstanding stock options and changes during the six months ended June 30, 2022 is presented below: Stock Options Options Weighted Average Exercise Price Aggregate Intrinsic Value Options outstanding December 31, 2020 285,173 $ 0.0001 $ 1,408,755 Granted 774,585 $ 0.0001 - Exercised ( 159,103 ) $ - - Expired ( 6,667 ) $ - - Options outstanding December 31, 2021 893,988 $ 0.0001 $ 2,369,065 Granted - $ - - Exercised - $ - - Expired ( 112,736 ) $ - - Options outstanding June 30, 2022 781,252 $ 0.0001 Shares exercisable at June 30, 2022 774,586 $ 0.0001 $ 683,572 NOTE 8 – WARRANTS A summary of the status of the Company’s outstanding stock warrants and changes during the six months ended June 30, 2022 is presented below: Number of Warrants Weighted Average Exercise Price Weighted Average Remaining Contract Term Outstanding, December 31, 2020 3,353,698 4.61 4.81 Cancelled ( 40,000 ) $ 7.50 - Underwriter Warrants 8,881,333 $ 3.62 - Warrant A Exercised ( 742,220 ) $ 9.00 - Warrant B Exercised ( 313,320 ) $ 4.50 - Underwriter Warrant Exercised ( 1,176,364 ) $ 0.0001 - Outstanding, December 31, 2021 9,963,127 $ 5.02 4.55 Underwriter Warrant Exercised ( 1,400,000 ) $ 0.0001 - Outstanding, June 30, 2022 8,563,127 $ 5.10 4.45 NOTE 9 – OPERATING LEASES On June 24, 2020, eVance, Inc.

NOTE 12 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS On January 3, 2022, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with all of the shareholders of Crowd Ignition, Inc. (“Crowd Ignition”) whereby the Company purchased 100% of the equity of Crowd Ignition in exchange for 1,318,408 shares of the common stock, par value $0.0001 of the Company (the “CI Issued Shares”). The value of the CI Issued Shares was, for purposes of the Agreement, based on the closing trading price of the Company on October 1, 2021 (the date on which a third-party fairness opinion was issued), resulting in an aggregate purchase price for Crowd Ignition of $ 5.3 million. The purchase price was used solely to establish the agreed upon purchase price between the parties and not for accounting purposes. Crowd Ignition is a web-based crowdfunding software system. Ronny Yakov, Chairman and CEO of the Company and John Herzog, a significant shareholder of the Company, collectively owned 100 % of the equity of Crowd Ignition. The acquisition of Crowd Ignition., was determined to be a common control transaction as each Company has the same two shareholders with a majority ownership. As a result, the assets and liabilities assumed were recorded on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements at their respective carry-over basis; however, as of January 3, 2022, Crowd Ignition has no assets, liabilities or other operations. NOTE 13 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES In the normal course of business, the Company may be involved in legal proceedings, claims and assessments arising in the ordinary course of business.

Mr. Yakov shall be eligible to receive an annual bonus of Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000) based on performance criteria established by the Board. In addition, on an annual basis, Mr. Yakov shall receive options to purchase up to 200,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.001 per share. The Company’s existing option plan will need to be amended to increase the number of available shares before the options to Mr. Yakov can be granted. The Yakov Agreement also states that, if Mr. Yakov’s employment is terminated without cause or he voluntarily terminates his employment for good reason, he will continue to receive his base salary for the remainder of the term along with all earned bonuses. In the event the termination is in connection with Mr. Yakov’s death, disability or bankruptcy of the Company, he will receive the pro rata amount of his base salary through the termination date and all bonuses earned through the termination date.

The Company had an adverse litigation judgment against it during the fiscal year relating to, among other things, a breach of contract claim, which included damages and attorney fees in favor of the Plaintiff. The Company appealed the judgment of both the award of damages and attorney fees and it prevailed in July 2022 when the case was remanded for retrial. As a result, the accrued expense related to the damage award has been eliminated. NOTE 14 - SEGMENTS The Company applies ASC 280, Segment Reporting , in determining its reportable segments. The Company has two reportable segments during 2021: Cryptocurrency Mining and Fintech Services. The guidance requires that segment disclosures present the measure(s) used by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) to decide how to allocate resources and for purposes of assessing such segments’ performance. The Company’s CODM is comprised of several members of its executive management team who use revenue and expenses of our two reporting segments to assess the performance of the business of our reportable operating segments. 16 The following tables details revenue, operating expenses, and assets for the Company’s reportable segments for the three months ended June 30, 2022. For the Three Months ended June 30, For the Six Months ended June 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 Reportable segment revenue: Revenue, net - cryptocurrency mining $ 207,966 $ — $ 472,306 $ — Fintech services revenue 8,164,469 2,833,572 16,686,588 5,059,976 Total segment and consolidated revenue $ 8,372,435 $ 2,833,572 $ 17,158,894 $ 5,059,976 June 30, 2022 December 31, 2021 Total Assets: Cryptocurrency mining $ 9,081,126 $ 9,749,652 Fintech services 34,137,411 33,779,839 $ 43,218,537 $ 43,529,491 NOTE 15 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On July 12, 2022, the Board of the Company authorized a share repurchase program, pursuant to which the Company may repurchase up to 1 million shares of its outstanding shares of common stock.

The Company expects to fund these repurchases through existing cash balances. Decisions regarding the amount and the timing of purchases under the program will be influenced by the Company’s cash on hand, cash flows from operations, general market conditions and other factors. The Company is not obligated to acquire any particular amount of its common stock. This program has no set termination date and may be suspended or discontinued by the Board at any time. 17 Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Forward-Looking Statements The information in this report contains forward-looking statements.

This discussion should not be construed to imply that the results discussed herein will necessarily continue into the future, or that any conclusion reached herein will necessarily be indicative of actual operating results in the future. Such discussion represents only the best present assessment of our management. Company Overview and Description of Business Overview We are a FinTech company and PayFac that focuses on a suite of products in the merchant services and payment facilitator verticals that seeks to provide integrated business solutions to merchants throughout the United States. We seek to accomplish this by providing merchants with a wide range of products and services through our various online platforms, including financial and transaction processing services. We also have products that provide support for crowdfunding and other capital raising initiatives. We supplement our online platforms with certain hardware solutions that are integrated with our online platforms. Our business functions primarily through three wholly-owned subsidiaries, eVance, OmniSoft, and CrowdPay, though substantially all of our revenue has been generated from our eVance business (we began generating revenue from our OmniSoft and CrowdPay businesses in the second half of 2019). We expect to build out our OmniSoft software business and to rely more on our PayFac model for revenue so that we are not dependent on our revenue from our eVance business but there is no guarantee that we will be able to do so. With respect to our eVance business, our merchants are currently processing over $100,000,000 in gross transactions monthly and average approximately 1,400,000 transactions a month. These transactions come from a variety of sources including direct accounts and ISO channels. The accounts consist of businesses across the United States with no concentration of industries or merchants. 18 We have integrated all the applications for OmniSoft and the ShopFast Omnicommerce solution with the eVance mobile payment gateway, SecurePay.comTM. SecurePay.comTM, is currently used by approximately 3,000 merchants processing over 32,000 transactions and approximately $9,000,000 of monthly gross transactions (though our revenue from these transactions is limited). In July 2019, we launched a new merchant and ISO boarding system that will be able to onboard merchants instantly. This provides the merchant with an automated approval and ISOs will have the ability to see all their merchants and their residuals as they load to the system. On May 22, 2020, the Company purchased certain assets from POSaBIT Inc. (“POSaBIT”), including its contracts and arrangements with the Doublebeam merchant payment processing platform (the “POSaBIT Asset Acquisition”). The assets included, but were not limited to, software source codes, customer lists, customer contracts, hardware and website domains. On May 14, 2021, the Company formed OLBit, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary (“OLBit”). The purpose of OLBit is to hold the Company’s assets and operate its business related to its emerging cryptocurrency-related lending and transactional business. On July 23, 2021, we formed DMINT, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary (“DMINT”) to operate in the cryptocurrency mining industry. DMINT has initiated the first phase of the cryptocurrency mining operation by placing purchase orders for data centers and ASIC-based Antminer S19J Pro mining computers specifically configured to mine Bitcoin. The first lot of equipment is being used to establish a proof of concept before DMINT expands the number of computers in operation. As of June 30, 2022, DMint has purchased 1,000 computers, of which 650 computers have been delivered with 250 online and mining for Bitcoin, 400 computers are in process of being installed and 350 additional computers are scheduled for delivery in 2022. It has six data centers located in Pennsylvania where it has mined ten Bitcoin. It has entered into an exclusive agreement whereby it has rights to all of the natural gas produced by 15 mines in Bradford, Pennsylvania. The natural gas is taken directly from the well heads to generate electricity required to power the mining computers. As configured, it is expected that the computers purchased will have a combined computing power of approximately 100 petahash per second. If the initial mining operation results are as anticipated, DMINT plans to expand the number of mining computers every quarter, whereby it would aim to have the computing power of 500 petahash per second by the end of 2022. On January 3, 2022, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with all of the shareholders of Crowd Ignition, Inc. (“Crowd Ignition”) whereby the Company purchased 100% of the equity of Crowd Ignition). Crowd Ignition is a web-based crowdfunding software system. Ronny Yakov, Chairman and CEO of the Company and John Herzog, a shareholder of the Company, owned 100% of the equity of Crowd Ignition. The software provides broker-dealer, merchant banks and law firms a platform to market crowdfunding offerings, collect payments and issue securities. The software has been developed in response to, and to comply with, recent changes in investment regulations including Regulation D 506(b) and 506(v), Regulation A+ and Title III of the Jobs Act (Regulation CF), including raising the crowdfunding limit from $1.07 million to $5.0 million. Crowd Ignition is one of only about 50 companies registered with the SEC to provide the services permitted under Regulation CF. Results of Operations Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations (“MD&A”) includes a discussion of the consolidated results from operations of The OLB Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. 19 Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 For the three months ended June 30, 2022, we had total revenue of $8,372,435 compared to $2,833,572 of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $5,538,863 or 195.5%. We earned $7,813,969 in transaction and processing fees, $18,174 in merchant equipment rental and sales, $332,326 in other revenue from monthly recurring subscriptions and $207,966 of other revenue from the Cryptocurrency Mining segment during the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $2,666,049 in transaction and processing fees, $46,896 in merchant equipment sales and $120,627 in other revenue during the three months June 30, 2021. The increase in revenue was a result of an increase in the amount of fees earned from merchant processing transactions primarily due to the revenue attributed to the merchant portfolio acquired in the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2021 and to revenue from cryptocurrency mining, which we did not have in the prior period. Processing and servicing costs increased by $4,573,396 or 217.9% Amortization and depreciation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $903,353 compared to $215,903 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $687,450 or 318.4%. We record amortization expense on our merchant portfolio, trademarks and natural gas purchase rights. Our amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022, increased in the current year period due to the agreement with Cai Energy to purchase natural gas to operate the cryptocurrency mining computers used in the Cryptocurrency Mining segment.

Liquidity and Capital Resources Trends and Uncertainties The Company’s financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by a further prolonging of the COVID-19 pandemic. The New York and Atlanta areas, including the location of the Company’s corporate headquarters and its operations business, continued to experience impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic in the U.S. as some workers were forced to quarantine or convalesce as a result of the spread of the COVID-19 virus. The Company is currently following the recommendations of local health authorities to minimize exposure risk for its employees and visitors. During the first six months of 2022, the Company did not attribute any material impact on its business as a result of the pandemic. However, the duration of this pandemic continues to remain unknown. If there was another increase in cases requiring quarantines or closures of businesses by our merchants, the duration of the business disruption and related financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. While the Company has specific business continuity plans to reduce the potential impact of COVID-19 during 2022 and believe that its business being principally operated using digital platforms, in the long-term, will suffer minimal ongoing negative impact, there is no guarantee that the Company’s continuity plans will be successful or that the Company’s merchants will meet the number of forecasted transactions. 21 In 2021 and the first six months of 2022, the Company experienced some disruptions to its business and disruptions for the Company’s customers and merchants that had an impact on the number of transactions processed by the Company. The extent to which COVID-19 or any other health epidemic may impact the Company’s results for 2022 and beyond will depend on future developments and impacts of variants of the virus, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the continuing economic impact of the response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Accordingly, COVID-19 could still have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects during the second half of 2022 and beyond. Changes in Cash Flows For the six months ended June 30, 2022, $556,820 of cash was used by operating activities, which included our net loss, offset by $3,334,499 for amortization and depreciation expense, $142,526 for stock-based compensation $65,674 of operating lease expense and net changes in operating assets and liabilities of $1,205,969. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we received net cash of $706,455 in financing activities from a loan payable. Liquidity and Capital Resources At June 30, 2022, the Company had cash of $3,619,974 and working capital of $2,807,441. The Company has approximately $3.8 million of outstanding liabilities. On March 2, 2021, the Company, utilizing a portion of funds received from the exercise of outstanding warrants, paid approximately $7.7 million to the pay off the entire outstanding amount of the Term Loan. In connection with the extinguishment of the obligations under the Term Loan, 40,000 warrants to purchase Common Stock were cancelled. In addition, the Company has received a Paycheck Protection Program loan under the CARES Act for approximately $236,000 (the “PPP Loan”). On October 11, 2021, the Company obtained forgiveness of all amounts due under the PPP Loan. On November 2, 2021, the Company entered into a series of securities purchase agreements with certain institutional accredited investors pursuant to which the Company issued and sold, in a private placement (i) 1,969,091 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s Common Stock (ii) pre-funded warrants exercisable for a total of 2,576,364 shares of Common Stock (the “Prefunded Warrant Shares”) with an exercise price of $0.0001 per Prefunded Warrant Share, and (iii) warrants exercisable for a total of 4,545,455 shares of Common Stock (the “Common Warrant Shares” and together with the Prefunded Warrant Shares, the “Warrant Shares”) with an exercise price of $6.50 per Common Warrant Share. The offering closed on November 5, 2021 and the Company received net proceeds of approximately $22.9 million, after deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to invest in or acquire companies or technologies that are synergistic with or complimentary to its business, to expand and market its current products and for working capital and general corporate purposes. The Company has reviewed its cash flow for 2022, projected operating cash flows for 2022 and 2023 and performed an overall analysis of market trends to determine whether or not it has sufficient liquidity to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from the date of this Quarterly Report. As a result of (a) the improved transaction volume trends the Company experienced during 2021 and the first six months ended June 30, 2022, (b) the increase in the number of merchants after the acquisitions of several portfolios during 2021, and (c) the funds received from the capital raises and PPP Loan, as discussed above, the Company believes it has sufficient liquidity in order to sustain operations for at least the twelve months following the filing of this Quarterly Report. Critical Accounting Policies Refer to our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, for a full discussion of our critical accounting policies. Subsequent Events On July 12, 2022, the Board of the Company authorized a share repurchase program, pursuant to which the Company may repurchase up to 1 million shares of its outstanding shares of common stock. The Board authorized the Company to purchase its common stock from time to time on a discretionary basis through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or other means, including trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act, in accordance with applicable federal securities laws and other applicable legal requirements. The Company expects to fund these repurchases through existing cash balances. Decisions regarding the amount and the timing of purchases under the program will be influenced by the Company’s cash on hand, cash flows from operations, general market conditions and other factors. The Company is not obligated to acquire any particular amount of its common stock. This program has no set termination date and may be suspended or discontinued by the Board at any time. 22 ITEM 3.

Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2022, that have materially or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting. 23 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1.
