(“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 Mining Business segments. Fintech Services: The Company provides integrated financial and transaction processing services (“Fintech Services”) to businesses throughout the United States. Through its eVance , 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. The Company’s eVance Capital, Inc subsidiary provides lending services to merchants processing with eVance, Inc. 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 allow 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. 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. The Company also provides ecommerce development and consulting services on a project-by-project basis. Cryptocurrency Mining 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 Bitcoin 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 “CAI Options”). The natural gas was being used in connection with the Cryptocurrency Business prior to opening the Selmer, Tennessee location. On June 24, 2022 the Company formed DMint Real Estate Holdings, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of DMint. The purpose of DMint Real Estate Holdings, Inc is to buy and hold real estate related to DMint. On November 22, 2022, Mr. Ronny Yakov purchased the CAI Options, in a privately negotiated transaction, for $ 700,000 using his personal funds. 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. By December 31, 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 three month period ending March 31, 2023 and not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2023. 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, 2022. 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 and stock-based compensation. Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, eVance Inc, eVance Capital Inc, Securus, CrowdPay, Omnisoft, OLBit, DMINT and DMint Real Estate Holdings. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Revision for Correction of Immaterial Error Subsequent to the initial issuance of the Company’s March 31, 2022 financial statements, management discovered it did not record the accrual for dividends on its Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stockholders are entitled to receive cash dividends at a rate per share (as a percentage of the Stated Value per share) of 12 % per annum. 7 In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 99, “Materiality,” and SAB No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements,” the Company evaluated the error and determined that the related impact did not materially misstate previously issued consolidated financial statements. Although the Company concluded that the misstatement was not material to its previously issued consolidated financial statements, the Company has determined it is appropriate to adjust its previously issued consolidated financial statements to correct for the error in the context of comparative financial statements. The following are the relevant line items from the Company’s consolidated financial statements which illustrate the effect of the corrections to the periods presented: Statement of Operations As Previously As Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 Reported Adjustments Revised Net Loss $ ( 1,455,596 ) $ — $ ( 1,455,596 ) Preferred stock dividends — ( 138,990 ) ( 138,990 ) Net loss applicable to common shareholders ( 1,455,596 ) ( 138,990 ) ( 1,594,586 ) Loss per share $ ( 0.10 ) $ ( 0.11 ) Weighted average common shares outstanding 14,510,703 14,510,703 Statement of Cash Flows As Previously As Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 Reported Adjustments Revised Supplemental non-cash disclosure: Preferred stock dividends $ — $ ( 138,990 ) $ ( 138,990 ) 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 March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had no cash in excess of the FDIC’s $ 250,000 coverage limit. 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. The Company has two operating segments as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. See Note 14, “Segment Information”. Stock-based Compensation We account for equity-based transactions with employees and non-employees under the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (Topic 718) , which establishes that equity-based payments to employees and non-employees are recorded at the grant date the fair value of the equity instruments the entity is obligated to issue when the employees and non-employees have rendered the requisite service and satisfied any other conditions necessary to earn the right to benefit from the instruments. Topic 718 also states that observable market prices of identical or similar equity or liability instruments in active markets are the best evidence of fair value and, if available, should be used as the basis for the measurement for equity and liability instruments awarded in these share-based payment transactions. However, if observable market prices of identical or similar equity or liability instruments are not available, the fair value shall be estimated by using a valuation technique or model that complies with the measurement objective, as described in FASB ASC Topic 718. 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 three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 does not include warrants to acquire 8,563,127 and 8,563,127 shares of common stock, respectively, because of their anti-dilutive effect. The weighted average number of common shares for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, does not include 1,135,935 and 779,029 options, respectively, to purchase common stock because of their anti-dilutive effect. Property and Equipment Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation of property and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the remaining term of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. 8 Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets held and used at least annually or when events and circumstances warrant such a review. If significant events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable, the Company performs a test of recoverability by comparing the carrying value of the asset or asset group to its undiscounted expected future cash flows. Cash flow projections are sometimes based on a group of assets, rather than a single asset. If cash flows cannot be separately and independently identified for a single asset, the Company determines whether impairment has occurred for the group of assets for which it can identify the projected cash flows. If the carrying values are in excess of undiscounted expected future cash flows, it measures any impairment by comparing the fair value of the asset group to its carrying value. If the fair value of an asset or asset group is determined to be less than the carrying amount of the asset or asset group, impairment in the amount of the difference is recorded. Merchant Portfolios Merchant portfolios are valued at fair value of merchant customers on the date of acquisition and are amortized over their estimated useful lives ( 7 years). Goodwill The Company accounts for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, “Business Combinations,” where the total purchase price is allocated to the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The purchase price is allocated using the information currently available, and may be adjusted, up to one year from acquisition date, after obtaining more information regarding, among other things, asset valuations, liabilities assumed and revisions to preliminary estimates. The purchase price in excess of the fair value of the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill. The Company tests for indefinite-lived intangibles and goodwill impairment in the fourth quarter of each year and whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value and may not be recoverable. In accordance with ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment , the Company performed a quantitative assessment of indefinite-lived intangibles and goodwill and determined there was no impairment at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. 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 allowance of approximately $ 38,000 and $ 38,000 as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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. Other Current Assets Other current assets comprised of the following: March 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 Cryptocurrency at cost $ 534,887 $ 1,030,183 Investment in cryptocurrency-based fund 250,000 250,000 Other current assets 8,768 8,768 Total $ 793,655 $ 1,288,951 9 Revenue Recognition The following table presents the Company’s revenue disaggregated by revenue source: For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 2022 Wholesale contracts $ 6,028,143 $ 7,706,208 Retail contracts $ 260,424 $ 373,773 Other transaction and processing fees and merchant equipment rental and sales $ 281,927 $ 442,138 Cryptocurrency mining fees $ 166,749 $ 264,340 Total revenue from contracts with customers $ 6,737,243 $ 8,786,459 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. 10 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. 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 rental and sales 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. Bitcoin 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 Bitcoin 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 Bitcoin 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 from 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. Impairment of cryptocurrency assets is tested annually or more frequently if events or circumstances change. At March 31, 2023, the Company had 20.73 Bitcoin and the fair value of the Company’s digital assets was $ 577,932 based on the price of Bitcoin being $ 27,879 . 11 NOTE 3 – LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP, which assumes that the Company’s management will evaluate whether it will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations in the normal course of business. At March 31, 2023, the Company had cash of approximately $ 65,000 , accounts receivable of approximately $ 1,624,000 and bitcoin valued at $ 535,000 , and accounts payable, accrued expenses, and a cash overdraft of approximately $ 2,572,000 . To date the Company has generated cash flows from issuances of equity and indebtedness. Management believes that its current available resources will be sufficient to fund the Company’s planned expenditures over the next 12 months. However, management recognizes that it may be required to obtain additional resources to successfully execute its business plans. No assurances can be given that management will be successful in raising additional capital, if needed, or on acceptable terms. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company determine it shall be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 5 – PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Long-lived assets, including property and equipment assets to be held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. 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 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. Betterments and renewals are capitalized in plant and equipment accounts. Cost and accumulated depreciation applicable to items replaced or retired are eliminated from the related accounts with any gain or loss on the disposition included as income.
