Part

Item 1. BUSINESS
DESCRIPTION
OF BUSINESS
General
theglobe.com, inc. (the “Company,”
“theglobe,” “we” or “us”) was incorporated on May 1, 1995 and commenced operations on that
date. Originally, we were an online community with registered members and users in the United States and abroad. On September 29,
2008, we consummated the sale of the business and substantially all of the assets of our subsidiary, Tralliance Corporation (“Tralliance”),
to Tralliance Registry Management Company, LLC (“Tralliance Registry Management”), an entity controlled by Michael
S. Egan, our former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. As a result of and on the effective date of the sale of our Tralliance
business, which was our last remaining operating business, we became a “shell company,” as that term is defined in
Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, with no material operations or assets.
1
On December 20, 2017, Delfin Midstream LLC
(“Delfin”) entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement with certain of our stockholders for the purchase of a total
of 312,825,952 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), representing approximately
70.9% of our Common Stock.
As a shell company, our operating expenses
have consisted primarily of, and we expect them to continue to consist primarily of, customary public company expenses, including
personnel, accounting, financial reporting, legal, audit and other related public company costs.
As of December 31, 2020, as reflected in
our accompanying Balance Sheet, our current liabilities exceed our total assets. We prefer to avoid filing for protection under
the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. However, unless we are successful in raising additional funds through the offering of debt or equity
securities, we may not be able to continue to operate as a going concern for any significant length of time in the future. Notwithstanding
the above, we currently intend to continue operating as a public company and make all the requisite filings under the Exchange
Act.
EMPLOYEES
As of March 1, 2021, we had no employees.
Our executive officer currently devotes very limited time to our business and receives no compensation from us. Our executive officer
is an officer, director and/or stockholder of other companies which may have ongoing business relationships with the Company. See
the section in this annual report entitled “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Our management may have other interests that may
conflict with the interests of our stockholders.”
2
Item 1A. RISK
FACTORS
Risks Relating to Our Business
We may not be able to continue as a going concern.
The accompanying financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America on a going concern basis,
which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly,
the financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of liabilities
that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. However, for the reasons described below, we do not
believe that cash on hand and cash flow generated internally by us will be adequate to fund our limited overhead and other cash
requirements beyond the next twelve months. These reasons raise significant doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
In addition, our independent registered public accounting firm has issued a report that included an explanatory paragraph referring
to our significant net losses, working capital deficit and need to raise additional capital, which as it noted raised substantial
doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Delfin Midstream LLC (“Delfin”),
the Company’s majority stockholder, has continued to fund the Company through loans to the Company. See the section of this
annual report entitled “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
– Liquidity and Capital Resources.” At December 31, 2020, the Company had a net working capital deficit of approximately
$707,000. This deficit included accrued expenses of approximately $24,000, accounts payable of approximately $2,000 and approximately
$689,000 in principal and accrued interest owed under the Promissory Note with Delfin.
On a short term liquidity basis, we must
receive capital contributions or loans from Delfin or its affiliates in order to continue as a going concern. We prefer to avoid
filing for protection under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. However, based upon our current financial condition as discussed above, we
believe that we will need to raise additional debt or equity capital in order for us to continue to operate as a going concern
on a long-term basis. Any such capital would likely come from Delfin, as we currently have no access to credit facilities and have
traditionally relied on borrowings from related parties to meet short-term liquidity needs. Any equity capital raised may result
in substantial dilution in the number of outstanding shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”).
We intend to use the proceeds from the 2018 Promissory Note and seek other loans from Delfin and related entities, if necessary,
to fund our public company operating costs while we explore our options related to the future of theglobe.
Through December 2020, we borrowed a total
of $600,000 under an amended and restated promissory note from Delfin, which was increased to $637,500 in February 2021.
The
coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and its impact on debt and equity markets could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition
and ability to operate as a going concern.
In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) was
reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China, which has and is continuing to spread throughout other parts of the world, including
the United States. The outbreak of the coronavirus has resulted in a widespread health crisis and has adversely affected the economies
and financial markets worldwide, business operations and the conduct of commerce generally. In particular, the global capital markets
are experiencing and may continue to experience periods of disruption and instability, which could be prolonged and which could
materially and adversely impact the broader financial and credit markets. Such disruption could have a material adverse effect
on our ability to raise additional funds through the offering of debt or equity securities, which in turn could impact our ability
to operate as a going concern beyond the next twelve months
Our management may have other interests that may conflict
with the interests of our stockholders.
Mr. Jones became our Chief Executive Officer
in 2018. Mr. Jones currently serves as the Chief Executive Officer of Fairwood, which is a material stockholder of Delfin, our
controlling stockholder. Mr. Jones is a material stockholder of Delfin and also maintains directorships, investments and participations
with and in other companies and entities, including those that may be involved in the gas and/or energy business. Although there
are currently no relationships between the Company and these entities, Mr. Jones, due to his relationship with such entities, will
have an inherent conflict of interest in making any decision related to transactions between the related entities and the Company.
Furthermore, since Mr. Jones is also the sole member of our Board of Directors (the “Board”), our Board presently is
not “independent.” In the event that we have independent directors in the future, we intend to review related party
transactions on a case-by-case basis.
We currently have no business operations and are a shell
company.
Immediately following the closing of the
Tralliance Purchase Transaction, we became a shell company with no material operations or assets, and no source of revenue other
than under the “net revenue” earn-out arrangement with Tralliance Registry Management. We expect that our future operating
expenses as a public shell company will consist primarily of customary public company expenses, including legal, audit and other
miscellaneous public company costs which will need to be paid by Delfin. In addition, our lack of operations, assets and current
prospects makes it difficult for investors to evaluate our future performance.
3
We may require additional financing to maintain our reporting
requirements and administrative expenses.
We have no meaningful revenues and are dependent
on our cash on hand to fund the costs associated with the reporting obligations under the Exchange Act, and other administrative
costs associated with our corporate existence. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, we incurred net losses of $163,836
and $211,374, respectively. General and administrative expenses include customary public company expenses, including outside legal
and audit fees, insurance and other related public company costs. We do not expect to generate any revenues unless and until we
commence business operations. In the past, we relied on funding from affiliated creditors and we may need additional funding beyond
those sources to continue as a going concern. In the event that our available funds prove to be insufficient, we will be required
to seek additional financing. Our failure to secure additional financing could have a material adverse effect on our ability to
pay the legal and audit fees and other administrative costs in order to continue to fulfill our reporting obligations. We do not
have any arrangements with any bank or financial institution to secure additional financing and such financing may not be available
on terms acceptable and in our best interests, if at all.
We may suffer adverse consequences if we are deemed an
investment company under the Investment Act of 1940 and we may incur significant costs to avoid investment company status.
We do not believe that we are an “investment
company” as defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940. If the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, or a court
were to disagree with us, we could be required to register as an investment company. This would negatively affect our ability to
consummate a potential acquisition of an operating company, subjecting us to disclosure and accounting guidance geared toward investment,
rather than operating companies; limiting our ability to borrow money, issue options, issue multiple classes of stock and debt,
and engage in transactions with affiliates; and requiring us to undertake significant costs and expenses to meet disclosure and
regulatory requirements to which we would be subject as a registered investment company.
Risks Relating to Our Common Stock
We are controlled by our majority stockholder, which may
limit the ability of our other stockholders to influence future corporate action.
As of December 31, 2020, our majority stockholder,
Delfin Midstream LLC, holds approximately 70.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock. Accordingly, Delfin continues
to be in a position to control the vote on all corporate actions in the future.
The delisting of our Common Stock makes it more difficult
for investors to sell shares.
The shares of our Common Stock were delisted
from the NASDAQ national market in April 2001 and are now traded in the over-the-counter market on what is commonly referred to
as the electronic bulletin board or “OTCBB.” As a result, an investor may find it more difficult to dispose of or obtain
accurate quotations as to the market value of the securities, if at all. The delisting has made trading our shares more difficult
for investors. It has also made it more difficult for us to raise additional capital. We may also incur additional costs under
state blue-sky laws if we sell equity due to our delisting.
We do not currently intend to pay dividends on our Common
Stock and, consequently, the ability of our stockholders to achieve a return on their investment in our Common Stock will depend
on appreciation in the price of our Common Stock.
We do not expect to pay cash dividends on
our Common Stock. Any future dividend payment is within the absolute discretion of our Board and will depend on, among other things,
our results of operations, working capital requirements, capital expenditure requirements, financial condition, contractual restrictions,
business opportunities, anticipated cash needs, provisions of applicable law and other factors that our Board may deem relevant.
We may not generate sufficient cash from operations in the future to pay dividends on our Common Stock. As a result, the success
of an investment in our Common Stock will depend on future appreciation in its value. The price of our Common Stock may not appreciate
in value or even maintain the price at which our stockholders purchased shares. If our Common Stock does not appreciate in value,
investors could suffer losses in their investment in our Common Stock.
4
Our Common Stock is subject to certain “penny stock”
rules which may make it a less attractive investment.
Since the trading price of our Common Stock
is less than $5.00 per share and our net tangible assets are less than $2.0 million, trading in our Common Stock is subject to
the requirements of Rule 15g-9 of the Exchange Act. Under Rule 15g-9, brokers who recommend penny stocks to persons who are not
established customers and accredited investors, as defined in the Exchange Act, must satisfy special sales practice requirements,
including requirements that they make an individualized written suitability determination for the purchaser; and receive the purchaser’s
written consent prior to the transaction. The Securities Enforcement Remedies and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990 also requires
additional disclosures in connection with any trades involving a penny stock, including the delivery, prior to any penny stock
transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated with that market. Such requirements
may severely limit the market liquidity of our Common Stock and the ability of purchasers of our equity securities to sell their
securities in the secondary market. For all of these reasons, an investment in our equity securities may not be attractive to our
potential investors.
As a shell company, we are subject to more stringent reporting
requirements.
We have no or nominal operations and assets,
and pursuant to Rule 405 and Exchange Act Rule 12b-2, we are a shell company. Applicable securities rules prohibit shell companies
from using a Form S-8 to register securities pursuant to employee compensation plans. However, the rules do not prevent us from
registering securities pursuant to certain other registration statements. Additionally, Form 8-K requires shell companies to provide
more detailed disclosure upon completion of a transaction that causes it to cease being a shell company. To the extent we acquire
a business in the future, we must file a current report on Form 8-K containing the information required in a registration statement
on Form 10, within four business days following completion of the transaction together with financial information of the private
operating company. In order to assist the SEC in the identification of shell companies, we are also required to check a box on
Form 10-Q and Form 10-K indicating that we are a shell company. To the extent that we are required to comply with additional disclosure
because we are a shell company, we may be delayed in executing any mergers or acquiring other assets that would cause us to cease
being a shell company.
Rule 144 is not generally available to holders of our
Common Stock which makes it difficult to resell shares in the future.
With limited exceptions related to restrictive
securities acquired before we became a “shell company,” holders of our restricted securities are limited in their ability
to resell their securities pursuant to Rule 144. Preclusion from the use of the resale exemption from registration afforded by
Rule 144 may make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities in the future, and for stockholders to resell their restricted
securities.
Our need for capital may create additional risks and create
dilution to existing stockholders.
As mentioned above, we will need to raise
additional capital in the future, which may be funded from unrelated third party sources, including the incurring of debt and/or
the sale of additional equity securities. In addition, we may require additional financing to fund working capital and operating
losses in the future should the need arise. The incurrence of debt creates additional financial leverage and therefore an increase
in the financial risk of our operations. The sale of additional equity securities may be dilutive to the interests of our current
stockholders. In addition, there can be no assurance that such additional financing, whether debt or equity, will be available
to us or that it will be available on acceptable commercial terms. Any inability to secure such additional financing on acceptable
terms could have a materially adverse impact on our business, financial condition and operating results.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT’S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
As a shell company, we currently have no
material operations or assets.
Basis of Presentation of Financial Statements; Going Concern
We received a report from our independent
registered public accountants, relating to our December 31, 2020 audited financial statements, containing an explanatory paragraph
regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. As a shell company, our management believes that we will not be able to generate
operating cash flows sufficient to fund our operations and pay our existing current liabilities in the foreseeable future. Based
upon our current limited cash resources and without the infusion of additional capital and/or the continued forbearance of our
creditors, our management does not believe we can operate as a going concern beyond the next twelve months. See “Future and
Critical Need for Capital” section of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations for further details.
Our financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America on a going concern basis, which contemplates
the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly, our financial statements
do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary
should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
All Note references relate to accompanying
Notes to Financial Statements.
Results of Operations
Year Ended December 31, 2020 Compared to Year Ended December
31, 2019
Net Revenue
Commensurate with the sale of our Tralliance
business on September 29, 2008, we became a shell company, and have not had any material operations since then. As a result, net
revenue was $0 for both of the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses include
only those customary public company expenses, including outside legal and audit fees, insurance and other related public company
costs. General and administrative expenses totaled approximately $118,000 for the year ended December 31, 2020 and $178,000 for
the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease was due to less legal fees and no proxy mailing fees in the current year as compared
to prior year.
7
Related Party Interest Expense
Related party interest expense for the years
ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was approximately $46,000 and $34,000, respectively, and consisted of interest due and payable
to Delfin under the Bridge Note. The increase is due to an increase in the amount of money borrowed from Delfin.
Net Loss
Net loss for the year ended December 31,
2020 was approximately $164,000 as compared to a net loss of approximately $211,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Future and Critical Need for Capital
The accompanying financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. on a going concern basis, which contemplates
the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly, the financial statements
do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary
should we be unable to continue as a going concern. However, for the reasons described below, our management does not believe that
cash on hand and cash flow generated internally by us will be adequate to fund our limited overhead and other cash requirements
beyond the next twelve months. These reasons raise significant doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Additionally,
the COVID 19 pandemic could have an adverse effect on our ability to continue operating. Please see Item 1A. RISK FACTORS.
In March 2018, the Company executed a Promissory Note with Delfin,
which was amended and restated in May 2018 to $150,000, in November 2018 to $350,000, in June 2019 to $465,000, in November 2019
to $554,100, in August 2020 to $600,000, and then again in February 2021 to increase the principal amount to up to $637,500 to
pay certain accrued expenses, accounts payable and to allow the Company to have working capital. Interest accrues on the unpaid
principal balance at a rate of 8% per annum, calculated on a 365/66 day year, as applicable. The Promissory Note is due upon demand.
It may be prepaid in whole or in any part at any time prior to demand. The Company expects continued funding from Delfin over the
next twelve months.
Delfin, the Company’s majority stockholder,
has continued to fund the Company through loans to the Company (see Note 3). At December 31, 2020, the Company had a net working
capital deficit of approximately $707,000. This deficit included accrued expenses of approximately $24,000, accounts payable of
approximately $2,000 and approximately $689,000 in principal and accrued interest owed under the Promissory Note with Delfin.
Cash Flow Items
Year Ended December 31, 2020 Compared to Year Ended December
31, 2019
As of December 31, 2020, we had $7,624
in cash as compared to $86,961 as of December 31, 2019. The decrease is due to timing of funding. We receive funding, then
use most of those funds prior to receiving more funding. Net cash flows used in operating activities totaled approximately
$125,000 for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to cash flows used in operating activities of approximately $173,000
for the year ended December 31, 2019.
8
Net cash flows provided by financing activities
totaled approximately $46,000 for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $254,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019. The
decrease was due in part to timimg of funding, but also due to a significant decrease in legal costs, requiring less cash.
Contractual Obligations
As a “smaller reporting company,”
as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we have elected scaled disclosure reporting and therefore are not required to provide
the table required by (a)(5) of this Item.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2020, we did not have
any material off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our current or future
financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, or capital resources.
Effects of Inflation
Management believes that inflation has not
had a significant effect on our results of operations during 2020 and 2019.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our financial statements
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires us 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Our estimates, judgments and assumptions
are continually evaluated based on available information and experience. Because of the use of estimates inherent in the financial
reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain of our accounting policies require higher degrees
of judgment than others in their application. These include valuations of accounts payable and accrued expenses.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Management has determined that all recently
issued accounting pronouncements will not have a material impact on our financial statements or do not apply to our operations.
Item 7A. QUANTITATIVE
AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As a “smaller reporting company,”
as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we have elected scaled disclosure reporting and therefore are not required to provide
the information required by this Item.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT
REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
theglobe.com, inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet s of theglobe.com,
Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity
(deficit) and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred
to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.
Explanatory Paragraph – Going Concern
The accompanying
financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in
Note 2, the Company has a significant working capital deficiency, has incurred significant losses and needs to raise additional
funds to meet its obligations and sustain its operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability
to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements
do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty .
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits.
We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB")
and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of
the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged
to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding
of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion..
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks
of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to
those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current-period
audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate
to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective,
or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit matters.

TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1)
ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
DESCRIPTION OF THE
COMPANY
theglobe.com, inc. (the “Company,”
“theglobe,” “we” or “us”) was incorporated on May 1, 1995 and commenced operations on that
date. Originally, we were an online community with registered members and users in the United States and abroad. On September 29,
2008, we consummated the sale of the business and substantially all of the assets of our subsidiary, Tralliance Corporation (“Tralliance”),
to Tralliance Registry Management Company, LLC (“Tralliance Registry Management”), an entity controlled by Michael
S. Egan, our former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. As a result of and on the effective date of the sale of our Tralliance
business, which was our last remaining operating business, we became a “shell company,” as that term is defined in
Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, with no material operations or assets.
On December 20, 2017, Delfin Midstream LLC
(“Delfin”) entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement with certain of our stockholders for the purchase of a total
of 312,825,952 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), representing approximately
70.9% of our Common Stock.
As a shell company, our operating expenses
have consisted primarily of, and we expect them to continue to consist primarily of, customary public company expenses, including
personnel, accounting, financial reporting, legal, audit and other related public company costs.
As of December 31, 2020, as reflected in
our accompanying Balance Sheet, our current liabilities exceed our total assets. We prefer to avoid filing for protection under
the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. However, unless we are successful in raising additional funds through the offering of debt or equity
securities, we may not be able to continue to operate as a going concern for any significant length of time in the future. Notwithstanding
the above, we currently intend to continue operating as a public company and making all the requisite filings under the Exchange
Act.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates and assumptions
relate primarily to valuations of accounts payable and accrued expenses.
16
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL
INSTRUMENTS
FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic
on Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure (“ASC 820”) requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values of its
financial instruments. The carrying amount of certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable
and accrued expenses, are a reasonable estimate of their fair values at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, due to their
short maturities.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company estimates the fair value of
each stock option at the grant date by using the Black Scholes option-pricing model using the following assumptions: no dividend
yield; a risk-free interest rate based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of grant; an expected option life based
on historical and expected exercise behavior; and expected volatility based on the historical volatility of the Company’s
stock price, over a time period that is consistent with the expected life of the option. The portion of the value that is ultimately
expected to vest is recognized as expense over the service period.
INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes using
the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences
attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective
tax bases for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period
that the tax change occurs. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected
to be realized.
NET INCOME PER COMMON
SHARE
The Company reports basic and diluted net
income per common share in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Basic earnings per share is computed
using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares consist of the incremental
common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants (using the treasury stock method). Common equivalent shares
are excluded from the calculation if their effect is anti-dilutive. There were no potentially dilutive securities and common stock
equivalents for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING
PRONOUNCEMENTS
Management has determined that all recently
issued accounting pronouncements will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements or do not apply to
the Company’s operations.
17
(2)
LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATIONS
The accompanying financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America on a going concern basis,
which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly,
the financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of liabilities
that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. However, for the reasons described below,
Company management does not believe that cash on hand and cash flow generated internally by the Company will be adequate to fund
its limited overhead and other cash requirements over the next twelve months. These reasons raise substantial doubt about the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.
Delfin, the Company’s majority stockholder,
has continued to fund the Company through loans to the Company (see Note 3). At December 31, 2020, the Company had a net working
capital deficit of approximately $707,000. This deficit included accrued expenses of approximately $24,000, accounts payable of
approximately $2,000 and approximately $689,000 in principal and accrued interest owed under the Promissory Note with Delfin.
The recent coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic
and its impact on debt and equity markets could also have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and ability to operate
as a going concern.
MANAGEMENT PLANS
Management anticipates continued funding
from Delfin over the next twelve months as it determines the direction of the Company.
(3)
DEBT
In March 2018, the Company executed a Promissory
Note with Delfin, which was amended and restated in May 2018 to $150,000, in November 2018 to $350,000, in June 2019 to $465,000,
in November 2019 to $554,100, in August 2020 to $600,000 and then again in February 2021 to increase the principal amount to up
to $637,500 to pay certain accrued expenses, accounts payable and to allow the Company to have working capital. Interest accrues
on the unpaid principal balance at a rate of 8% per annum, calculated on a 365/66 day year, as applicable. The Promissory Note
is due upon demand. It may be prepaid in whole or in any part at any time prior to demand. Management anticipates continued funding
from Delfin over the next twelve months as it determines the direction of the Company.

Because of the Company’s lack of earnings
history, the net deferred tax assets have been fully offset by a 100% valuation allowance. The valuation allowance for net deferred
tax assets was $1,155,000 and $1,197,000 as of December 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively. The net change in the total valuation
allowance was $(55,000) and $(42,000) for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively.
In assessing the realizability of deferred
tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not
be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the
periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities,
projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.
At December 31, 2020, the Company had net
operating loss carryforwards available for U.S. tax purposes of approximately $682,000, which will carry forward indefinitely.
(5)
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Under terms of the debt with its majority
stockholder (See Note 3), the Company recorded accrued interest of approximately $43,000 and $89,000 as of December 31, 2019 and
2020, respectively and interest expense of approximately $34,000 and $46,000 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company’s management evaluated
subsequent events through the time of the filing of this report on Form 10-K. The Company’s management is not aware of any
significant events that occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date but prior to the filing of this report that would have a
material impact on its financial statements, with the exceptional of additional funding received from Delfin of $37,500 on February
8, 2021.
Item 9. CHANGES
IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
None.
Item 9A. CONTROLS
AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures
that are designed to ensure (1) that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange
Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s
(“SEC”) rules and forms, and (2) that this information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In
designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter
how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management
necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2020. Based on that evaluation,
our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer has concluded that, as of December 31, 2020, our disclosure controls and
procedures were effective.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control and
Financial Reporting
The Company’s management, under the
supervision of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate
internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a - 15(f) and 15d - 15(f) under the Exchange Act). Internal control
over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting
and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. Internal control over financial reporting
includes policies and procedures that:
(i)
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;
(ii)
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and
(iii)
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal
control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness
to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree
of compliance with existing policies or procedures may deteriorate.
21
Under the supervision of the Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2020. Our management used the updated Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee
of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission to perform this evaluation. Based upon this evaluation and management’s
assessment, management has concluded that internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2020. Because
we are a smaller public company, we are not required to provide an independent public accountant’s attestation report covering
our assessment of internal control over financial reporting.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management, which currently consists
of Mr. Jones, acting as our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated any change in our internal control
over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, and has determined there to be no reportable changes.

Item 10. DIRECTORS,
EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
The following table sets forth the names,
ages and current positions with the Company held by our Directors and Executive Officers.
NAME
AGE
POSITION OR OFFICE WITH THE COMPANY
DIRECTOR SINCE
Frederick Jones
73
President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief
Financial Officer and Director
June 29, 2018
We are not aware of any arrangement or understanding
between Mr. Jones and any other person pursuant to which he was elected or appointed to his current positions. Neither Mr. Jones
nor any immediate family member of Mr. Jones has been a participant in any transaction or currently proposed transaction with the
Company that is reportable under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
Due to his status as material stockholder
of Delfin, which is our controlling stockholder, and his willingness to serve without compensation, we believe Mr. Jones is in
the best position to serve as our director until such time that our controlling stockholder determines the direction of the Company.
Frederick Jones , 73, has been
involved in international commodity trading, energy infrastructure, real estate, and oil and gas businesses for approximately
47 years. Mr. Jones was one of the early investors in U.S. shale gas. For approximately the past seven (7) years, Mr. Jones
has served, and continues to serve, as the Chief Executive Officer of Fairwood Peninsula Energy Corporation
(“Fairwood”), a midstream liquefied natural gas company. Fairwood is a material stockholder of our controlling
stockholder, Delfin Midstream, Inc. (“Delfin”). Mr. Jones was a founder of Fairwood and is currently a material
Delfin stockholder. In 2019, Mr. Jones became the CEO of Energy Global Services FZE and Asiatic Gas Energy Holdings Limited,
two companies privately owned by Mr. Jones and that primarily handle Mr. Jones’ private investments. He was also a founding
stockholder in Marc Rich + Co A.G., Switzerland, now known as Glencore Plc.
Mr. Jones will serve as a director until
the next annual meeting of stockholders of the Company and until his successor is duly elected and qualified or until his earlier
death, resignation or removal.
Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires
our officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities, to file certain reports
regarding ownership of, and transactions in, our securities with the SEC. Such officers, directors, and 10% stockholders are also
required to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they file.
22
Based solely on our review of copies of
Forms 3 and 4 and any amendments furnished to us pursuant to Rule 16a-3(e) and any written representations referred to in Item
405(b)(2)(i) of Regulation S-K stating that no Forms 5 were required, we believe that, during the 2020 fiscal year, our officers,
directors and all persons owning more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities have complied with all Section 16(a)
applicable filing requirements.
Code of Ethics
We have adopted a Code of Ethics applicable
to our officers, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer and any other
persons performing similar functions. The Code of Ethics will be provided free of charge by the Company to interested parties upon
request. Requests should be made in writing and directed to the Company at the following address: 14643 Dallas Parkway, Suite 650,
Dallas, TX 75254, Attention: Frederick Jones.
Board Meetings
Including unanimous written actions of the
Board, the Board met 2 times in 2020
Committees
Our Company currently does not have nominating,
compensation, or audit committees or committees performing similar functions nor does our Company have a written nominating, compensation
or audit committee charter. As a shell company, we believe that it is not necessary to have such committees at this time because
the Board can adequately perform the functions of such committees.
Audit. We believe that our Board
can adequately perform the functions of an audit committee. As a smaller reporting company with no material operations or assets,
and due to the lack of financial resources available to us, we do not have a Board member that qualifies as an “audit committee
financial expert” as defined in Item 407(D)(5) of Regulation S-K, nor do we have a Board member that qualifies as “independent”
within the meaning of applicable Nasdaq Stock Market listing standards, including any heightened independence requirements specific
to audit committee members. We believe that retaining an independent director who would qualify as an “audit committee financial
expert” would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances given our lack of material operations
or assets.
Compensation . Because the Company
currently has no material operations and none of its executive officers in 2020 received a salary, we do not believe it is necessary
to have a compensation committee at this time. We believe that our Board can adequately perform the functions of a compensation
committee. Due to his status as an officer of the Company, our sole director is not “independent” within the meaning
of applicable Nasdaq Stock Market listing standards, including any heightened independence requirements specific to compensation
committee members.
Director Nominations . As noted above,
the Board does not have a separate nominating committee. Rather, our Board considers and nominates directors for election. We do
not believe the Company would derive any significant benefit from a separate nominating committee. Due to his status as an officer
of the Company, our sole director is not “independent” as defined in the applicable Nasdaq Stock Market listing standards.
In recommending director candidates in the
future (including director candidates recommended by stockholders), the Board intends to take into consideration such factors as
it deems appropriate based on the Company’s current needs. These factors may include diversity, age, skills, decision-making
ability, inter-personal skills, experience with businesses and other organizations of comparable size, community activities and
relationships, and the interrelationship between the candidate’s experience and business background, and other Board members’
experience and business background, whether such candidate would be considered “independent,” as such term is defined
in the Nasdaq Stock Market listing standards, as well as the candidate’s ability to devote the required time and effort to
serve on the Board.
23
The Board will consider for nomination by
the Board director candidates recommended by stockholders if the stockholders comply with the following requirements. Under our
By-Laws, if a stockholder wishes to nominate a director at the annual meeting, we must receive the stockholder’s written
notice not less than 60 days nor more than 90 days prior to the date of the annual meeting, unless we give our stockholders less
than 70 days’ notice of the date of our annual meeting. If we provide less than 70 days’ notice, then we must receive
the stockholder’s written notice by the close of business on the 10th day after we provide notice of the date of the annual
meeting. The notice must contain the specific information required in our By-Laws. A copy of our By-Laws may be obtained by writing
to the Company. If we receive a stockholder’s proposal within the time periods required under our By-Laws, we may choose,
but are not required, to include it in our proxy statement. If we do, we may tell the other stockholders what we think of the proposal,
and how we intend to use our discretionary authority to vote on the proposal. All proposals should be made in writing and sent
via registered, certified or express mail, to our executive offices, 14643 Dallas Parkway, Suite 650, Dallas, TX 75254 Attention:
Frederick Jones.
Stockholder Communications with the Board
of Directors. Any stockholder who wishes to send communications to the Board should mail them addressed to the intended recipient
by name or position in care of: theglobe.com, inc., 14643 Dallas Parkway, Suite 650, Dallas, TX 75254 Attention: Frederick Jones.
Upon receipt of any such communications, Mr. Jones will determine the identity of the intended recipient and whether the communication
is an appropriate stockholder communication. Then Mr. Jones will send all appropriate stockholder communications to the intended
recipient. An “appropriate stockholder communication” is a communication from a person claiming to be a stockholder
in the communication, the subject of which relates solely to the sender’s interest as a stockholder and not to any other
personal or business interest.
In the case of communications addressed
to the Board, the Company will send appropriate stockholder communications to the Board. In the case of communications addressed
to any particular directors, the Company will send appropriate stockholder communications to such director.
Attendance at Annual Meetings
The Board encourages, but does not require,
its directors to attend the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders. The Company did not hold an annual meeting last year.

Item 12. SECURITY
OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
The following table sets forth certain information
regarding beneficial ownership of our Common Stock as of March 1, 2021 (except as otherwise indicated) by (i) each person who owns
beneficially more than 5% of our Common Stock, (ii) each of our directors, (iii) each of our “Named Executive Officers”

The amounts and percentage of Common Stock
beneficially owned are reported on the basis of regulations of the SEC governing the determination of beneficial ownership of securities.
Under the rules of the SEC, a person is deemed to be a “beneficial owner” of a security if that person has or shares
“voting power,” which includes the power to vote or to direct the voting of such security, or “investment power,”
which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of such security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial
owner of any securities of which that person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days. Under these rules, more
than one person may be deemed a beneficial owner of the same securities and a person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of
securities as to which such person has no economic interest. Unless otherwise indicated below, the address of each person or entity
named in the table below is in care of theglobe.com, inc., 14643 Dallas Parkway, Suite 650, Dallas, TX 75254.

Persons
While we have not adopted formal written
policies or procedures for consideration of related party transactions, our Board routinely reviews potential transactions with
those parties it has identified as related parties prior to the consummation of the transaction. Each transaction is reviewed to
determine that a related party transaction is entered into by the Company with the related party on an “arms length”
basis, or pursuant to normal competitive negotiation.
