PART I

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

OVERVIEW

Overview

Gopher Protocol Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our”, “Gopher”, “Gopher Protocol” or "GOPH”) was incorporated on July 22, 2009 under the laws of the State of Nevada and is headquartered in Santa Monica, California. Gopher is a development stage company that is creating innovative mobile microchip (ICs) and software technologies based on GopherInsight™,technology that the Company has an exclusive license to market in perpetuity. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, the Company generated $165,000 from the provision of IT services to Guardian Patch LLC, a related party.

GopherInsight™is a patented, licensed, real-time heuristic- (self-learning/artificial intelligence) based mobile technology. GopherInsight™chip technology, if successfully fully developed, will be able to be installed in mobile devices (smartphones, tablets, laptops, etc.) as well as stand-alone products. It is intended that GopherInsight™software applications will work in conjunction with GopherInsight™microchips across mobile operating systems, providing computing power, advanced database management/sharing functionalities and more. The technology under development consists of a smart microchip, mobile application software and supporting software. The system contemplates the creation of a global network. Upon development, the Company believes that its microchip technologies may be installed within mobile devices or on SIM cards. The Company and Guardian Patch, LLC are currently rolling out the following products:

Products:

(i)

Guardian Patch & Guardian Pet Tracker - The Company has applied the mobile technology into an electronic circuit including a proprietary microchip that is within a sticky patch package (the "Patch"). The Patch can be affixed to any object, mobile or static, which will enable the object to which it is affixed to be tracked remotely. It is our goal to have the electronic circuit communicate with other similar working patches via a separate, secured and private network. Upon affixing the Patch on an object, the circuit is turned on, after which the electronic circuit regularly transmits an identification signal in order to identify the device's geographical location. The Patch works in conjunction with a software application to provide tracking function operations. The system includes its own power source. The Patch will also perform an emergency feature. In the event of an emergency situation, one would simply peel the Patch off. Upon removing the Patch, it operates in a constant transmission mode, sending emergency signals. The patch also alerts the user's friends and family about the user's location. No GPS or conventional network, such as GSM, is needed. The Company and its JV partner Guardian Patch, LLC are also currently ramping up their efforts for the release of their Guardian Pet Tracker, which is primarily designed for pets, but may also be used for tracking children, adults, including the disabled, inventory, artwork or virtually any object located within an area covered by the device. The Guardian Pet Tracker (also known as the "Sphere") system is a derivative technology of the Company's Guardian Patch technology. The Sphere is designed to provide its users with local tracking capability using a rechargeable/replaceable battery source. The Sphere is an innovative tracking device that can easily be attached to a pet’s collar and then transmit real-time location information to the smartphone(s) or website account of the registered owner of the device. The Sphere has a rechargeable battery and operates on the exclusive Guardian private network which provides owners with the unique ability to obtain real-time tracking information without the need for GPS, Wi-Fi or cellular service. The Sphere includes state of the art radio technology, a GPS system and micro controller systems, with a potential “back-up” Bluetooth unit. The Sphere sends signals in specific intervals to report on its location. The Sphere’s system analyzes the information using its proprietary, advanced mathematical modeling software that precisely calculates the Sphere's location. The Sphere's mobile application then presents the exact location of the Sphere on the map. An additional unique system feature is the Sphere's Emergency Alert system. Users of the Sphere have the ability to transmit emergency alerts directly from their mobile apps, which transmit their Sphere locations. All registered users located in such a Sphere's proximity will be notified about the Emergency and may notify the user about the Sphere's recovery (which we fondly refer to as a “private emergency alert”). The Sphere utilizes a bi-directional system which enables data transmission/receiving acknowledgment. It also includes error correction protocol to ensure data accuracy. The Sphere has its own rechargeable battery. The Sphere also comes with its own ID. This ID is registered on the mobile app to track the Sphere's location. Multiple Spheres can be registered on the same app for multiple tracking. The Company anticipates beginning an online pre-sales in March 2017.

(ii)

Epsilon Mobile RV- While developing the core technology of the Company, and relying on prior knowledge, the Company and its technology licensing partner, Guardian Patch LLC and Alpha EDA, LLC, developed Gopher Epsilon Software, which is an internal, proprietary platform that has been developed as a designated tool for the mobile industry to accelerate signoff Reliability Verification (RV) with Accurate and Precise Interactive Error Detection and Correction. The software is targeted to assist microchip designers to produce power-aware, faster performance and longer lifespan integrated circuits. The software significantly prolongs a battery's life, enabling mobile and static electronic devices longer operation time and better performance. The software is currently installed on a third party’s system for the purpose of evaluation of the software’s performance.

(iii)

PUZPIX - While developing the core technology of the Company, and relying on prior knowledge, the Company and its technology licensing partner, Guardian Patch LLC and Alpha EDA, LLC, developed PUZPIX (version I) as a social media game. PUZPIX is a social media game based on GOPHERINSIGHT™ technology licensed by the Company. The game uses a computerized framework to create a puzzle from images that users upload onto the system’s server. The user creates an account and has the option to store images in the designated "Friends" area and/or in the designated "All" (public) area. Only approved friends will be granted access to the images in the "Friends" area and all players have access to the "All" area. Upon a user’s request, the system turns an image into a puzzle of at least nine pieces, though more challenging puzzles can be made once the user achieves a higher level of skill. Upon the Company and its Partners launching their GopherInsight™ integrated circuit technology, of which there is no guarantee, the Company also hopes to develop a version III of PUZPIX to include domestic / international exchanges of puzzle pieces that could be shared worldwide. In addition to allowing its users to upload short videos to share with their PUZPIX "Friends", which appear as thumbprint puzzles of the videos, the new and advanced Version 2.8 also allows its users to post links to YouTube videos, which also appear as thumbprint puzzles of the videos. Once a personal video puzzle or a YouTube video puzzle has been assembled, the user can then watch the video in its entirety, immediately after which the video automatically disappears and cannot be saved. The feature which allows users to upload videos from their libraries can only be utilized between PUZPIX "Friends", while posting links to YouTube videos can be shared between "All" users. The Company and its Partners are examining the possibility of launching a crowdfunding campaign for the PUZPIX app.

(iv)

Guardian Pack-While developing the core technology of the Company, and relying on prior knowledge, the Company and its technology licensing partner, Guardian Patch LLC and Alpha EDA, LLC, developed this application. The current version is a mobile application to track groups and families via a GPS-enabled map. The objective of the app is to enable group tracking in real time. The user creates a group, by inviting members into the group. The app includes a FindMeNow feature, where users can find other members of their group on a map. The Company intends to provide the GuardianPack application for free to users, and will likely charge a subscription for advanced features, to be developed.

Joint Ventures

In March 2016, the Company and Dr. Danny Rittman, Co-Chairman, CTO and a shareholder, entered into an agreement intended to clarify the relationship between Dr. Rittman and the Company and the ownership of certain technology in connection with certain agreements previously entered into between Company and Dr. Rittman and with third parties. Prior to these agreements, the Company was the exclusive license holder for certain intellectual property relating to Hermes’ system and method for scheduling categorized deliverables, according to demand, at the customer’s location based on smartphone application and/or via the internet. As a result of these agreements, the Company shall remain an exclusive licensee per the terms of the original License Agreement and will develop the first products with Dr. Rittman and his partners.

On March 29, 2016, Gopher contributed all of its rights relating to its proprietary microchip that is within a sticky patch package (the “Patch”) to Guardian Patch, LLC (“Guardian LLC”) in consideration of 50% of the profit generated by Guardian LLC (the “Joint Venture”). Guardian LLC is responsible for investing all needed funds for the purpose of developing the Patch and related products to the Patch. In addition, Guardian LLC is required to provide short term loans to Gopher on an as needed basis secured by Gopher’s economic interest in the Joint Venture. The Company will provide IT services to Guardian LLC for a monthly fee. Dr. Rittman has signed an amendment employment agreement with the Company.

On July 21, 2016 members of the Guardian Patch LLC, together with Dr. Rittman, incorporated Alpha EDA, LLC (“Alpha”). The members of the LLC appointed Dr. Rittman as the manager of Alpha. The Company, the LLC and Alpha have agreed that all Epsilon Rights, as well as Puzpix rights, will be assigned to Alpha. Alpha and the Company entered into a JV agreement similar to the Patch Joint Venture agreement (as described above), whereby Alpha will fund all of its operational and developmental needs (software development, support, marketing and administrative), and the profits of Alpha will be distributed equally to the two equal Joint venture partners, Guardian Patch LLC and the Company. Alpha will hold all intellectual property rights related to software. Currently, three products will be owned by Alpha – the Epsilon software, the Puzpix social game, and the Guardian Pack application.The Company and its technology licensing partners, Guardian LLC and Alpha, are preparing to introduce these new products (Epsilon, Guardian Pack & PuzPix) to the market this year, and the Sphere in the first quarter of 2017. The Epsilon product will be presented for time-based license agreements utilizing a designated website on top of customary distributing channels for the product. Epsilon is under confidential evaluation agreement with third party.

Regulatory

The Company has commenced development, and the Company has completed the Statement of Work (SOW) for the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) survey to deploy the Company's Guardian Global Tracking Device within the continental US. The Company has also completed their transmitters/transceivers modules feasibility research. Although the Company can use open channels and, therefore, is not required to comply with various FCC regulations relevant to the system, the Company is seeking to comply with FCC regulations. The FCC regulates the limits of potentially harmful interference to licensed transmitters due to low power unlicensed transmitters. The Guardian Patch/Sphere system consists of advanced security protocols in order to maintain the global, private, fully-secured network. In addition, the Guardian Patch device needs to perform communication tasks across the globe providing breakthrough tracking features. The Company and its technology licensing partner, Guardian LLC, successfully completed thorough research that involved security, performance and FCC regulations compliance. Based on this research, a set of particular frequencies was chosen to be used by Guardian LLC. By the end of this year, the Company completed the design and construction of the Guardian Patch/Sphere circuit prototype device. The Company has completed the construction of 10 prototype units, and performed intensive testing program to be tested as a complete system in designated areas by the Company. In December 2016, Guardian LLC issued Statement of Work for the Placement and Development of Guardian Sphere and its Base System. For this project, Guardian LLC has assembled a team of eight, including a Project Manager, CTO, digital and software engineers, a specialist algorithm mathematician and project leader. This team was assembled by Guardian LLC, and is based in the USA, Europe and Asia. Per the Joint Venture agreement, Guardian LLC is funding the SOW project.

Intellectual Property

To date, Dr. Rittman has filed for 16 different patents with an additional three in process, as well as six trademarks. The patents are owned by Dr. Rittman, our CTO, but the Company is the exclusive licensee of these patents and trademarks in perpetuity. These patents and trademarks, as well as various websites and social media platforms, comprise the Company’s intellectual properties. The Company and Dr. Rittman are in the process of consolidating some or all of these patents into a single comprehensive patent for the Guardian Patch. To date, none of the Company’s patents have been granted, but two trademarks been granted.

Employees

As of December 31, 2016, we had four direct employees. All Company’s development and marketing activities are being performed via third parties as consultants or vendors.

Operations

The Company is developing a real-time, heuristic based, mobile technology. The technology under development consists of a smart microchip, mobile application software and supporting software.

Clients and Customers

At December 31, 2016, the Company has one significant customer that accounts for all of its revenue during fiscal year 2016, which is a related party through its joint venture agreement.

Competition

The Company is developing a real-time, heuristic based, mobile proprietary technology. The technology under development consists of a smart microchip, mobile application software and supporting software. Although the way that the software works is unique and the technology is protected via patents and trademarks, the Company will be competing with other mobile devices at least in a peripheral way.

Advisory Board

In connection with the Company's desire to retain highly qualified individuals to advise the Company with respect to certain aspects of its business, the Company has adopted an Advisory Board Charter, effective September 1, 2016, and has appointed four (4) members to its newly created Advisory Board, in order to advise the Company on the roll-out of its technologies, including its Guardian Patch "GOPHERINSIGHT™" circuit prototype device (the "Patch"). Each of the Company's Advisory Board members are seasoned veterans of the technology industry and are considered experts in their respective fields. All of the Advisory Board members hold PhD's from prestigious universities and are reputable figures within academia. The Advisory Board will advise the Company on a wide variety of technological issues, including R&D matters such as integrated circuit reliability and design concepts, EDA (Electronic Design Automation) software architecture and automation algorithms. In addition, each Advisory Board member's prior experience and current rolls in key technology industry positions will provide the Company with vastly more knowledge in the areas of mobile technology, physics and advanced mathematics. The Company's CTO, Dr. Danny Rittman, serves as Chairman of the Advisory Board.

Having been formed in September 2016, Advisory Board members will receive remuneration in the form of cash ($3,000 per quarter) and stock options in consideration of serving as Advisory Board members and each Advisory Board member's term will be one (1) year from the date of appointment or until a successor is duly elected. The Company intends to indemnify each Advisory Board member against any liability incurred while serving as an Advisory Board member. Each of the four members are entitled to 100,000 stock options with a life of 5 years and an exercise price of $2.50 per share.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

As a Smaller Reporting Company, the Company is not required to include the disclosure under this Item 1A. Risk Factors. Despite the fact that we are not required to provide risk factors, we consider the following factors to be risks to our continued growth and development:

We have a limited operating history in an evolving industry, which makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and may increase the risk that we will not be successful.

We only recently started our operations in our current business in 2015. We have a limited operating history in an evolving industry that may not develop as expected. Assessing our business and future prospects is challenging in light of the risks and difficulties we may encounter. These risks and difficulties include our ability to:

	·	accurately forecast our revenues and plan our operating expenses;
	·	retain services providers and end-users to use our platforms;
	·	successfully compete with the traditional methods of marketing the services offered by our service providers.
	·	successfully expand our business;
	·	adapt to rapidly evolving trends in the ways consumers and businesses interact with technology;
	·	avoid interruptions or disruptions in our service;
	·	develop a scalable, high-performance technology infrastructure that can efficiently and reliably handle increased usage, as well as the deployment of new features and products;
	·	hire, integrate and retain talented sales, customer service, technology and other personnel; and
	·	effectively manage rapid growth in personnel and operations.

If the demand for engaging services through mobile applications does not develop as we expect, or if we fail to address the needs of our service providers and end users, our business will be harmed. We may not be able to successfully address these risks and difficulties, which could harm our business and results of operations.

Our limited operating history makes it difficult for us to evaluate our future business prospects and make decisions based on those estimates of our future performance.

We shifted our focus to our real-time, heuristic- (self-learning/artificial intelligence) based mobile technology in 2015. We have a limited operating history and generated limited revenue. As a consequence, it is difficult, if not impossible, to forecast our future results based upon our historical data. Reliance on the historical results may not be representative of the results we will achieve. Because of the uncertainties related to our limited historical operations, we may be hindered in our ability to anticipate and timely adapt to increases or decreases in revenues or expenses. If we make poor budgetary decisions as a result of unreliable historical data, we could be less profitable or continue to incur losses.

Gopher Protocol’s results of operations have not resulted in profitability and we may not be able to achieve profitability going forward

Gopher Protocol do not accrue or capitalize development costs (or any costs to this effect) and expense it to its profit and loss statements as required by US GAPP. As such the Company incurred a net loss amounting to $96,116 for the year ended December 31, 2015 and $1,660,184 for the year ended December 31, 2016. Our 2016 quarterly reports on Form 10-Q as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission should be taken into consideration. If we incur additional significant operating losses, our stock price, may decline, perhaps significantly. Our management is developing plans to alleviate the negative trends and conditions described above. Our business plan is speculative and unproven. There is no assurance that we will be successful in executing our business plan or that even if we successfully implement our business plan, that we will be able to curtail our losses now or in the future. Further, as we are an emerging enterprise, we expect that net losses will continue and our working capital deficiency will exacerbate.

We have yet to achieve positive cash flow, and our ability to generate positive cash flow is uncertain. If we are unable to generate positive cash flow OR obtain sufficient capital when needed, our business and future prospects will be adversely affected and we could be forced to suspend or discontinue operations.

Our operations have not generated positive cash flow for any reporting period since our inception, and we have funded our operations primarily through the issuance of common stock and short-term and long-term debt and convertible debt. Our limited operating history makes an evaluation of our future prospects difficult. The actual amount of funds that we will need to meet our operating needs will be determined by a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include the timing and volume of sales transactions, the success of our marketing strategy, market acceptance of our products, the success of our manufacturing and research and development efforts (including any unanticipated delays), our manufacturing and labor costs, the costs associated with obtaining and enforcing our intellectual property rights, regulatory changes, competition, technological developments in the market, evolving industry standards and the amount of working capital investments we are required to make.

Our ability to continue to operate until our cash flow from operations turns positive will depend on our ability to generate positive cash flow from our operations. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow from our operations, our business and future prospects will be adversely affected and we could be forced to suspend or discontinue operations.

The Company sustained net losses of $1,586,226 in this fiscal year, and our operating activities used $15,995. Our net loss was caused in part by a non-cash warrant expense of $177,062, and prepaid legal services valued at $675,948. The Company had a working capital deficit of $757,377, stockholders’ deficit of $803,030, and accumulated deficit of $4,094,372 at December 31, 2016. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is dependent upon its ability to generate revenues and its ability to continue receiving investment capital and loans from third parties to sustain its current level of operations. The Company is in the process of securing working capital from investors for common stock, convertible notes payable, and/or strategic partnerships. No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in these efforts. Per the Joint Venture agreement, the Guardian LLC has committed to provide the Company with all its working capital needs, the Guardian LLC’s commitment has decreased much of the risk of going concern.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk, consist principally of temporary cash investments. There have been no losses in these accounts through December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Concentration of revenue and accounts payable as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company has one customer, which counts 100% of its revenue. Per the terms of the JV with Guardian Patch LLC, Guardian LLC has committed to fund all Company’s needs, as well as needs of the JV. Failure of the LLC to provide the Company or the JV with said funding would represent a significant Credit Risk.

We WILL require additional capital to support business growth, and this capital might not be available on acceptable terms, if at all.

We intend to continue to make investments to support our business growth and we will require additional funds to respond to business challenges, including the need to develop new features and products or enhance our existing products, improve our operating infrastructure or acquire complementary businesses and technologies. Accordingly, we may need to engage in equity or debt financings to secure additional funds. If we raise additional funds through future issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, our existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences and privileges superior to those of holders of our common stock. Any debt financing that we secure in the future could involve restrictive covenants relating to our capital raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions. We may not be able to obtain additional financing on terms favorable to us, if at all. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us when we require it, our ability to continue to support our business growth and to respond to business challenges could be impaired, and our business may be harmed.

We depend upon key personnel and need additional personnel

Our success depends on our inability to attract and retain key personnel including Dr. Danny Rittman, our CTO, and our inability to do so may materially and adversely affect our business operations. The loss of qualified personnel could have a material and adverse effect on our business operations. Additionally, the success of the Company’s operations will largely depend upon its ability to successfully attract and maintain competent and qualified key management personnel. As with any company with limited resources, there can be no guaranty that the Company will be able to attract such individuals or that the presence of such individuals will necessarily translate into profitability for the Company.

Our business requires substantial capital, and if we are unable to maintain adequate CASH FLOWS FROM OPERATIONS our profitability and financial condition will suffer and jeopardize our ability to continue operations

We require substantial capital to support our operations. If we are unable to generate adequate cash flows from our operations, maintain adequate financing or other sources of capital are not available, we could be forced to suspend, curtail or reduce our operations, which could harm our revenues, profitability, financial condition and business prospects.

There are limitations on director/officer liability

As permitted by Nevada law, the Company’s certificate of incorporation limits the liability of its directors for monetary damages for breach of a director’s fiduciary duty except for liability in certain instances. As a result of the Company’s charter provision and Nevada law, stockholders may have limited rights to recover against directors for breach of fiduciary duty.

We have never paid dividends on our Common Stock

We have never paid dividends on our Common Stock and do not presently intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We anticipate that any funds available for payment of dividends will be re-invested into the Company to further its business strategy.

A small number of existing stockholders hold a controlling interest in our Company, which could limit your ability to influence the outcome of any stockholder vote

Two shareholders beneficially own more than about 47% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, and another shareholder can convert their preferred position into common shares and control the Company through roughly 62% ownership of our common stock. Under our Certificate of Incorporation and Nevada law, the vote of a majority of the shares outstanding is generally required to approve most stockholder action. As a result, these stockholders will be able to significantly influence the outcome of stockholder votes for the foreseeable future, including votes concerning the election of directors, amendments to our Certificate of Incorporation or proposed mergers or other significant corporate transactions.

THERE IS CURRENTLY A LIMITED PUBLIC MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK. FAILURE TO FURTHER DEVELOP OR MAINTAIN A TRADING MARKET COULD NEGATIVELY AFFECT THE VALUE OF OUR COMMON STOCK AND MAKE IT DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU TO SELL YOUR STOCK.

There is a limited public market for our Common Stock, which is traded on the OTCQB under the symbol GOPH. We cannot give any assurances that there will ever be a mature, developed market for our common stock. Failure to further develop or maintain an active trading market could negatively affect the value of our shares and make it difficult for you to sell your shares or recover any part of your investment in us. Even if a market for our common stock does develop in a material way, the market price of our common stock may be highly volatile. In addition to the uncertainties relating to our future operating performance and the profitability of our operations, factors such as variations in our interim financial results, or various, as yet unpredictable factors, many of which are beyond our control, may have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock.

If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud. As a result, current and potential stockholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting, which would harm our business and the trading price of our stock.

Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and effectively prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our brand and operating results could be harmed. We have in the past discovered, and may in the future discover, areas of our internal controls that need improvement. For example, for the year ended December 31, 2015, we reported that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the lack of resources and the reliance on outside consultants. We intend to increase management’s review of our financials. We cannot be certain that these measures will ensure that we implement and maintain adequate controls over our financial processes and reporting in the future. Any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm our operating results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations. Inferior internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our stock.

We are an "emerging growth company," and we cannot be certain if the reduced reporting requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors.

We are an "emerging growth company," as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, or the JOBS Act. For as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including:

not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act,

reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements and

exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

We could be an emerging growth company for up to five years, although circumstances could cause us to lose that status earlier. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.0 billion, or (b) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30th, or (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period.

We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.

Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can also delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have elected to avail ourselves of this exemption from new or revised accounting standards and, therefore, will not be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.

Penny stock regulations may affect your ability to sell our common stock.

To the extent the price of our Common Stock remains below $5.00 per share, our Common Stock will be subject to Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act, which imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker dealers which sell these securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. Under these rules, broker-dealers who recommend penny stocks to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors" must make a special written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to a transaction prior to sale. Unless an exception is available, the regulations require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the associated risks. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by these requirements could discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our Common Stock and may make it more difficult for holders of our Common Stock to sell shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them.

ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

As a Smaller Reporting Company, the Company is not required to include the disclosure under this Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments. At this time, there are no unresolved staff comments.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

During 2016, the Company relocated its headquarters to 2500 Broadway, Suite F-125, Santa Monica, California. The Company pays approximately $5,000 per month in rent for this office space, and paid a $7,500 security deposit that is classified in our financial statements contained herein as a prepaid expense. The lease is being paid for by the Guardian LLC via reimbursement. The Company believes its current facilities will be adequate for the foreseeable future.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company may be involved in various litigation matters, which arise in the ordinary course of business. There is currently no litigation that management believes will have a material impact on the financial position of the Company.

In connection with the registration of GopherInside as a trademark, Intel Corporation has requested that the Company abandon the trademark in lieu of potential confusion with their trademark Intel Inside. The Company has taken the initial steps necessary to alleviate any concern Intel may have associated with mobile or computer platforms. Furthermore, the Company holds the opinion that GopherInside is by merit different from “Intel + Inside” . Additionally, a simple online search yields 1,189 live non-Intel marks that include the word “INSIDE.” The Company has learned that Intel filed a Notice of Opposition to the trademark application on February 2, 2016. The Company decided not to object and agreed to abandon this trademark.

On August 26, 2015, the Company finalized a consulting agreement that it entered into on August 11, 2015 with Michael Korsunsky ("Consultant") pursuant to which Consultant was engaged by the Company to (i) provide introductions to strategic business alliances, (ii) advise on exposure and risk in the operation of smart phone applications and (iii) advise on market fluctuations within the different categories of the smart phone application delivery services sector, in consideration of 100,000 restricted shares of common stock of the Company, which shares were issued on or around August 26, 2015. On or around November 17, 2016, the Company filed a complaint against Consultant in Superior Court of the State of California, County of Riverside, for Breach of Contract and Breach of Implied Covenant of Good Faith and Fair Dealing. The Consultant been served, but to date has not filed a defense.

Warrants Liability

On June 10, 2016, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Waterford Group LLC ("Waterford") pursuant to which the Company engaged Waterford to provide sales and marketing consulting and advisory services to the Company in consideration of 100,000 shares of restricted common stock of the Company (the "Shares") and a common stock purchase warrant (the "Warrant") to acquire 750,000 shares of restricted common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $2.25 per share for a period of five (5) years. 50,000 of the Shares were issued to Waterford upon the execution of the Agreement. The Warrant vests on a quarterly basis in eight (8) equal quarterly installments each in the amount of 93,750 shares each quarter during the term of the Agreement. The first quarterly installment vested upon the execution of the Agreement and covers Q2 2016 and each subsequent quarterly installment vests each quarter thereafter. The warrant has been recorded as adjusting equity during this quarter. The Company believes that this agreement is in default, as the counterparty failed to perform or provide any services under the agreement. As such, the Company put Waterford on notice in writing during in the third fiscal quarter, that the Company did not issue shares or warrants during the third or fourth fiscal quarters, and does not intend to issue those items as it believes that Waterford is in default under its agreement. The Company has recorded a warrant expense of $177,062 in fiscal 2016.

On or around January 23, 2017, the Company filed a complaint against Waterford and the Company’s Transfer Agent, in Superior Court of the State of California, County of Riverside. On February 1, 2017, the Company obtained a temporary restraining order that prohibits Waterford from (x) lifting the restricted legend from the 50,000 shares that it received in connection with signing the Agreement; (y) selling the 50,000 shares to another party; and, (z) from exercising the warrant on 93,750 shares that was issued and vested upon the execution of the Agreement. As ordered by the court, on February 9, 2016, the Company deposited a Corporate Surety Bond in the amount of $42,875 to secure the temporary restraining order.

On July 29, 2016,the staff of the Atlanta Regional Office of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC" and the "Commission") advised the Company in a telephone conversation, followed by a written “Wells” notice, that it is has made a preliminary determination to recommend that the Commission file an enforcement action against the Company alleging violations of Section 13(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and Rules 13a-11, 13a-13 and 12b-20 thereunder. A Wells Notice is neither a formal allegation of wrongdoing nor a finding that any violations of law have occurred. Rather, it provides the Company with an opportunity to respond to issues raised by the Commission and offer its perspective prior to any SEC decision to institute proceedings. These proceedings could result in the Company being subject to an injunction and cease and desist order from further violations of the securities laws as well as monetary penalties of disgorgement, pre-judgment interest and a civil penalty. On September 20, 2016, the Company filed an amended and restated 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2014.

Penny Stock

Our common stock is considered "penny stock" under the rules the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ Stock Market System, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or quotation system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission, that:

contains a description of the nature and level of risks in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading;

contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements of Securities' laws; contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price;

contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;

defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and

contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type, size and format, as the Commission shall require by rule or regulation.

The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with:

bid and offer quotations for the penny stock;

the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction;

the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the marker for such stock; and

monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account.

In addition, the penny stock rules that require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgement of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitably statement.

These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock.

General Overview

Results of Operations:

Fiscal quarters ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015

A comparison of the statements of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 is as follows:

Revenues:

The following table summarizes our revenues for the fiscal quarters ended December 31, 2016 and 2015:

Three months ended at December 31,		2016				2015
Total revenues		$	45,000			$	22,500

During the first quarter of 2016, Guardian Patch LLC, which funds the development of the Patch, was billed by the Company for IT services provided by Dr. Rittman for a monthly fee of $30,000. The fee was billed for the first time in March. From April 1, 2016, and going forward, the Company billed Guardian Patch LLC $15,000 per month.

Revenue derived from one customer in both cases, but the periods are not comparable due to the differing nature of the services provided in each case. In the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2015, the Company provided consulting services.

Operating expenses:

The following table summarizes our operating expenses for the fiscal quarters ended December 31, 2016 and 2015:

Three months ended at December 31,	2016		2015
General and administrative expenses	$	219,868	$	22,458
Marketing expenses	$	58,532	$	0
Accounting expenses	$	17,275	$	30,315
Patent fees	$	13,401	$	0
Total operating expenses	$	309,076	$	52,773

Operating costs in the current period were much higher than the prior period, mainly due to higher patent fees, programming fees, and IT services costs. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company recorded somewhat higher accounting fees, because it had accrued less to that point during the previous nine months.

Other income (expense):

The following table summarizes our other income (expense) for the fiscal quarters ended December 31, 2016 and 2015:

Three months ended at December 31,	2016			2015
Amortization of debt discount	$	(18,357	)	$	(9,487	)
Interest income	$	0		$	0
Interest (expense)	$	(3,453	)	$	(1,617	)
Total other income (expense)	$	(21,810	)	$	(11,104	)

For the three months ended at December 31, 2016 and 2015, the interest expense increased due to the need to “true up” the interest expense associated with the note payable.

Fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015

A comparison of the statements of operations for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 is as follows:

Revenues:

The following table summarizes our revenues for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015:

Year to date at December 31,		2016				2015
Total revenues		$	165,000			$	90,000

Revenue derived from one customer in both cases, but the periods are not comparable due to the differing nature of the services provided in each case. In the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, the Company provided consulting services.

Operating expenses:

The following table summarizes our operating expenses for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015:

Year to date at December 31,	2016		2015
General and administrative expenses	$	628,421	$	87,957
Stock compensation – Professional fees	$	688,946	$	26,000
Marketing expenses	$	126,838	$	0
Accounting expenses	$	52,524	$	30,315
Patent fees	$	31,447	$	0
Total operating expenses	$	1,528,176	$	144,272

Operating costs in the current period were higher than the prior period, mainly due to higher marketing costs, patent fees, programming fees, and IT services costs. The Company prepaid legal services in the amount of $675,948, and filed various patents during the year.

Other income (expense):

The following table summarizes our other income (expense) for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015:

Year to date at December 31,	2016			2015
Change in fair value - warrant	$	(139,582	)	$	0
Change in fair value – derivative	$	(37,480	)	$	0
Amortization of debt discount	$	(39,726	)	$	(35,368	)
Interest income	$	0		$	1,935
Interest (expense)	$	(6,262	)	$	(8,411	)
Total other income (expense)	$	(223,050	)	$	(41,844	)

On a year-to-date basis, the amortization of debt discount is comparable. Interest expense decreased due to conversions of the note payable.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash and cash equivalents were $5,096 and $21,051 for the periods ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. Cash flows used by operations in the current fiscal year were $15,955, compared to cash flows provided by operations of $21,051 in fiscal 2015. Working capital improved significantly during the most recent fiscal year: accounts payable increased dramatically, while accounts receivable decreased. The Company wrote off the prepaid marketing expense from the Waterford agreement as well. Non-cash items include the conversion of the sole note on the balance sheet in the amount of $31,058 during the year, shares issued for legal services valued at approximately $675,946, and the warrant issued to Waterford that vested upon the execution of that agreement. The Company is in litigation against Waterford because the Company believes that Waterford did not provide services under its agreement, and is hopeful that the result of that litigation will be the cancellation of the outstanding warrant. Given that that outcome is uncertain, however, the warrant has been expensed at December 31, 2016 in the amount of $177,062, and that cost has been included in General and Administrative expenses on the income statement.

The Company sustained net losses of $1,586,226 in this fiscal year, and our operating activities used $15,995. Our net loss was caused in part by a non-cash warrant expense of $177,062, and prepaid legal services valued at $675,948. The Company had a working capital deficit of $757,377, stockholders’ deficit of $803,030, and accumulated deficit of $4,094,372 at December 31, 2016. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is dependent upon its ability to generate revenues and its ability to continue receiving investment capital and loans from third parties to sustain its current level of operations. The Company is in the process of securing working capital from investors for common stock, convertible notes payable, and/or strategic partnerships. No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in these efforts. Per the Joint Venture agreement, Guardian LLC has committed to provide the Company with all its working capital needs, Guardian LLC’s commitment has decreased much of the risk of going concern.

We plan to raise working capital that will allow us to conduct our business for the next 12 months. There is no guarantee regarding our ability to raise that capital. We expect to use the proceeds to fund our short-term capital requirements including paying administrative expenses associated with maintaining our public company’s filings for the next 12 months. In order to implement our business plan and pay various administrative expenses on a minimal basis for the next 12 months, we expect that we will need approximately $900,000, based on our expectation of about $75,000 monthly burn rate. The Company expects that its operating results will fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter in the future, and will depend on a number of factors including the state of the worldwide economy and financial markets, which are outside the Company’s control. Guardian Patch, LLC, the Company’s JV partner, has committed to support the Company’s working capital needs, via short terms loans. Beyond working capital needs, however, the Company has decided to raise high-yield debt via a private placement that will likely be convertible into equity, at either a fixed or a variable conversion rate. Our financing plans and the exact type of debt that we seek will largely be contingent on our pre-sales campaign for the Sphere. The Company is planning to roll out an online pre-sales campaign for the Sphere starting in March 2017.

Debt Financing Arrangements

As of December 31, 2016, the Company has only one convertible note outstanding with a third party (“PTPI Note”). The current note balance is $53,852, which includes $13,112 of accrued interest. At December 31, 2015, the Company had only this note outstanding as well. The balance at that time was $38,924, which included accrued interest of $6,851, and was net of the debt discount.

On January 22, 2015, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement with the original holder of PTPI Note pursuant to which PTPI Note exchanged $75,273 in debt into a 10% Convertible Debenture in the principal amount of $75,273 (the “Note”). The PTPI Note matures January 21, 2017 (the “Maturity Date”) and interest associated with the Note I Note is 10% per annum, which is payable on the Maturity Date. The PTPI Note is convertible into shares of common stock of the Company, at the option of Note I, at a fixed conversion price of $0.00752734.

The holder of the PTPI Note has agreed to restrict its ability to convert the PTPI Note and receive shares of common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by it in the aggregate and its affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The PTPI Note was issued in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) under the Securities Act of 1933. PTPI Note’s holder is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933. In addition, on March 2, 2015, the Company and the holder of the PTPI Note amended that certain 10% Convertible Debenture (the “PTPI Note I Debenture”) which debt underlying the PTPI Note I Debenture was initially incurred on October 6, 2009 and exchanged for the Note I Debenture on January 19, 2014. The parties agreed that the conversion price in the PTPI Note I Debenture would not be impacted by the 1:1,000 stock split implemented by the Company on February 24, 2015 and will remain $0.0075273.

The Company is under default per the terms of the PTPI Note, as at maturity in January 2017, the Company did not have sufficient free cash to pay off the note. The Company is in negotiations with the holder of the PTPI Note in good faith to resolve the situation. The Company cannot predict the result of such negotiations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates

Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of our financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, the reported amounts and classification of revenues and expenses during the periods presented, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and material changes in these estimates or assumptions could occur in the future. Changes in estimates are recorded on the period in which they become known. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances and at that time, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily-apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates if past experience or other assumptions do not turn out to be substantially accurate.

We believe that the accounting policies described below are critical to understanding our business, results of operations, and financial condition because they involve significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements. An accounting is deemed to be critical if it requires a judgment or accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain, and if different estimates that could have been used, or if changes in the accounting estimates that are reasonably likely to occur periodically, could materially impact our financial statements. Other significant accounting policies, primarily those with lower levels of uncertainty than those discussed below, are also critical to understanding our financial statements. The notes to our financial statements contain additional information related to our accounting policies and should be read in conjunction with this discussion.

Presentation and Basis of Financial Statements

The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognized revenue on arrangements in accordance with FASB Codification Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition” (“ASC Topic 605”). Under ASC Topic 605, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. We had revenue of $45,000 and $22,500 for the fiscal quarters ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $165,000 and $90,000 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2016, all the Company’s revenue was related to IT service provided to the LLC for Dr. Rittman services, in connection with the development of the Patch and the Sphere.

Dividends

The Company has not yet adopted any policy regarding payment of dividends. No cash dividends have been paid or declared since the Date of Inception.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As a Smaller Reporting Company, the Company is not required to include the disclosure under this Item.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

The information required by Item 8 appears at Page F-1, which appears after the signature page to this report.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

Previous independent registered public accounting firm

On April 21, 2015 (the “Resignation Date”), Alan R. Swift, CPA, P.A. (the “Former Auditor”) resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company.

The report of the Former Auditor on the Company’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and such reports were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principle, except that the reports included an explanatory paragraph relating to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 and through the Resignation Date, the Company has not had any disagreements with the Former Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the Former Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference thereto in their reports on the Company’s financial statements for such years.

During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 and through the Resignation Date, there were no reportable events, as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

New independent registered public accounting firm

On April 21, 2015 (the “Engagement Date”), the Company engaged Anton & Chia, LLP (“New Auditor”) as its independent registered public accounting firm for the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. The decision to engage the New Auditor as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.

During the two most recent fiscal years and through the Engagement Date, the Company has not consulted with the New Auditor regarding either:

1. application of accounting principles to any specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and neither a written report was provided to the Company nor oral advice was provided that the New Auditor concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or

2. any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Regulation S-K, Item 304(a)(1)(iv) and the related instructions) or reportable event (as defined in Regulation S-K, Item 304(a)(1)(v)).

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the applicable period to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

As a smaller reporting company, without a viable business and revenues, the Company does not have the resources to install a dedicated staff with deep expertise in all facets of SEC disclosure and GAAP compliance. As is the case with many smaller reporting companies, the Company will continue to consult with its external auditors and attorneys as it relates to new accounting principles and changes to SEC disclosure requirements. The Company has found that this approach worked well in the past and believes it to be the most cost effective solution available for the foreseeable future. The Company will conduct a review of existing sign-off and review procedures as well as document control protocols for critical accounting spreadsheets. The Company will also increase management’s review of key financial documents and records.

As a smaller reporting company, the Company does not have the resources to fund sufficient staff to ensure a complete segregation of responsibilities within the accounting function. However, Company management does review, and will increase the review of, financial statements on a monthly basis, and the Company’s external auditor conducts reviews on a quarterly basis. These actions, in addition to the improvements identified above, will minimize any risk of a potential material misstatement occurring.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2016, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

On April 22, 2015, Michael Murray was appointed by the Company as the Chairman of the Board of Directors, CEO, and President of the Company. On March 4, 2015, the Company entered into a Territorial License Agreement with Hermes, which is the basis for the Company’s current operations. Mr. Murray is the owner of 9,900 shares of Series D Preferred Stock of the Company that is convertible at Mr. Murray’s election into 9,900,000 shares of common stock. During 2016 Mr. Murray has converted all of his Series D Preferred Stock into common shares of the Company.

On June 30, 2015, the Company appointed Dr. Danny Rittman as Chief Technical Officer and a board member. On August 20, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with Dr. Rittman pursuant to which the parties agreed that (i) all inventions, improvements and developments made or conceived by Dr. Rittman, either solely or in collaboration with others pertaining to Company's business, will be the property of Company, and (ii) Dr. Rittman will assign to the Company any and all intellectual property related to the Company's consumer heuristic technology platform. Said agreement is contingent upon the Company funding its commitments per the June 16, 2015 - Amended and Restated Territorial License Agreement. Failure of the Company providing this funding, in full, or partially, will automatically terminate any GOPH ownership of the intellectual properties. Dr. Rittman is the Chief Technology Officer and a director of the Company as well as the Chairman of the Company's Advisory Board. Dr. Rittman owns 9,900 shares of Series D Preferred Stock of the Company that is convertible at Dr. Rittman’s into 9,900,000 shares of common stock. During 2016 Mr. Rittman has converted all of his Series D Preferred Stock into common shares of the Company.

On August 20, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with Dr. Rittman pursuant to which the parties agreed that (i) all inventions, improvements and developments made or conceived by Dr. Rittman, either solely or in collaboration with others pertaining to Company's business, will be the property of Company, and (ii) Dr. Rittman agreed to assign to the Company any and all intellectual property related to the Company's consumer heuristic technology platform, subject to certain conditions, which as of December 31, 2016 have not been met. As of the end of the fiscal year, the intellectual property developed by Dr. Rittman had not been assigned to the Company. The Company has expensed the stated value of that intellectual property in these financial statements.

On or around March 18, 2016, the Company and Dr. Danny Rittman entered into an agreement intended to clarify the relationship between Dr. Rittman and the Company and the ownership of certain technology in connection with certain agreements previously entered into between Company and Dr. Rittman and with third parties. Specifically, the Company entered into that certain Territorial License Agreement with Hermes Roll LLC dated March 4, 2015, which such agreement was amended to expand the related territorial license to a worldwide license pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Territorial License Agreement dated June 16, 2015 (the "Amended and Restated Territorial License Agreement"), and that certain Letter Agreement (the "Letter Agreement") entered into between Dr. Rittman and the Company dated August 20, 2015. The aforementioned agreements were tied to the funding of the Company in the minimum amount of $5,000,000 (the "Required Funding") and the assignment to the Company and/or ownership by the Company of all past, present and future technology in the form of intellectual property, including, but not limited to patents, trademarks, domains, applications, social media pages (e.g. Twitter, LinkedIn and landing pages) (collectively, the "IP"), which such IP was paid for exclusively by Dr. Rittman and/or his affiliated companies, was contingent upon the Company obtaining the Required Funding by no later than October 30, 2015 (the "Contingency"). Accordingly, it was agreed to by the parties that (i) all inventions, improvements and developments made or conceived by the Dr. Rittman, either solely or in collaboration with others pertaining to Company's business, would be the property of the Company subject to the Contingency. In the event the Contingency was not met, the Letter Agreement would be cancelled and rendered null and void. The Company acknowledged that the Company did not meet the Contingency, technically resulting in the cancellation of the Letter Agreement and rendering the Letter Agreement null and void. Moreover, the Company failed to meet its obligations under the Amended and Restated Territorial License Agreement, including the further development of the consumer heuristic technology platform, thereby creating a vacuum in its development in all aspects, including the ability to obtain funding, resulting in the need for Dr. Rittman’s partners to perform the necessary development work related to the above agreements.

The original Exclusive License Agreement will remain in place, while other agreements will be terminated and rendered null and void. Dr. Rittman will resign as an officer of the Company, but will remain as Director and technical consultant of the Company, and will accommodate the needs of the Company in return for compensation to be agreed by the parties. All intellectual property will remain in the possession of Dr. Rittman and his private partners, and the Company shall remain a licensee per the terms of the original Territorial License Agreement, and will develop the first product with Dr. Rittman and his partners.

The Company is the exclusive license holder for certain intellectual property relating to GopherInsight technology. The Company has assigned all its rights as they relate to the Guardian Patch to the LLC as consideration for the JV. Dr. Rittman's partners have commenced development of the product via a private LLC that has been incorporated under the name "Guardian Patch LLC" (“LLC”). Certain private investors will provide all initial funding to the Company via the LLC for product development. The LLC will fund the development, and the Company will provide IT services via Dr. Rittman for a monthly fee. Dr. Rittman has signed an amendment employment agreement with the Company. As the Company is not a member of the LLC, the Company and the LLC have formed a Joint Venture (“JV”) for the purposes of developing and marketing the Patch. The LLC will be responsible for funding the development of the Patch. The Company will not need be required to invest funds in said JV. The Company responsibilities will be limited to the marketing of the product, where the marketing budget will be funded by the LLC. Moreover, the LLC has committed to provide the Company with working capital as needed. The Company has assigned and pledged to the LLC all its license derivative rights as they pertain to the Patch only. Dr. Rittman may be offered membership rights at some point in the future with the LLC, with which the Company is a JV partner, but is not equity member. The Company has agreed with the LLC that the same JV principles of the GPLLC for the patch will apply for the other two products (Epsilon and Puzpix) which will be vested under designated LLCs that will be incorporated by the LLC members. During the quarter ended December 31, 2016, 100% of the Company’s revenue was related to IT service provided to the LLC for Dr. Rittman services, in connection with the development of the Patch.

On April 5, 2016, Erik Klinger was appointed by the Company to serve as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company. There is no understanding or arrangement between Mr. Klinger and any other person pursuant to which he was appointed as an executive officer. Mr. Klinger does not have any family relationship with any director, executive officer or person nominated or chosen by us to become an executive officer.

On April 16, 2016 (the "Effective Date"), Mansour Khatib and the Company entered into an Employment Agreement (the "Agreement") pursuant to which Mr. Mansour Khatib agreed to serve as the Chief Marketing Officer of the Company. Mr. Mansour Khatib was also appointed as a director of the Company on the Effective Date.

Effective August15, 2016, the Employment Agreement of Mansour Khatib, our CMO, was amended and restated as follows:

Upon the Company generating $1,000,000 in revenue during any three (3) month period (the “Threshold Requirement”), the Executive will receive salary at the rate of $100,000 annually (the “Base Salary”); provided, however, that that Company shall pay to Executive $5,000 per month (the "Monthly Salary Advance") commencing on August 15, 2016, which such Monthly Salary Advance shall be an advance on the Base Salary and shall continue to be paid to Executive until such time that the Company launches its Guardian Patch technology into the consumer markets. Once the Threshold Requirement is met, the Base Salary will be payable in equal increments not less often than monthly in arrears and in any event consistent with the Company’s payroll policy and practices. The Base Salary of the Executive may from time to time be increased, but not decreased, by the Board, in its absolute discretion, including potential bonuses."

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.

On April 22, 2015, Michael Murray joined as CEO, President, CFO and Director.

On June 30, 2015, Dr. Danny Rittman joined as Chief Technology Officer as Director.

On or around March 18, 2016 the Company and Dr. Danny Rittman entered into an agreement intended to clarify the relationship between Dr. Rittman and the Company and the ownership of certain technology in connection with certain agreements previously entered into between Company and Dr. Rittman and with third parties. Specifically, the Company entered into that certain Territorial License Agreement with Hermes Roll LLC dated March 4, 2015, which such agreement was amended to expand the related territorial license to a worldwide license pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Territorial License Agreement dated June 16, 2015 (the "Amended and Restated Territorial License Agreement"), and that certain Letter Agreement (the "Letter Agreement") entered into between Dr. Rittman and the Company dated August 20, 2015. The aforementioned agreements were tied to the funding of the Company in the minimum amount of $5,000,000 (the "Required Funding") and the assignment to the Company and/or ownership by the Company of all past, present and future technology in the form of intellectual property, including, but not limited to patents, trademarks, domains, applications, social media pages (e.g. Twitter, LinkedIn and landing pages) (collectively, the "IP"), which such IP was paid for exclusively by Dr. Rittman and/or his affiliated companies, was contingent upon the Company obtaining the Required Funding by no later than October 30, 2015 (the "Contingency"). Accordingly, it was agreed to by the parties that (i) all inventions, improvements and developments made or conceived by the Dr. Rittman, either solely or in collaboration with others pertaining to Company's business, would be the property of the Company subject to the Contingency. In the event the Contingency was not met, the Letter Agreement would be cancelled and rendered null and void. The Company acknowledged that the Company did not meet the Contingency, technically resulting in the cancellation of the Letter Agreement and rendering the Letter Agreement null and void. Moreover, the Company failed to meet its obligations under the Amended and Restated Territorial License Agreement, including the further development of the consumer heuristic technology platform, thereby creating a vacuum in its development in all aspects, including the ability to obtain funding, resulting in the need for Dr. Rittman’s partners to perform the necessary development work related to the above agreements.

The original License Agreement will remain in place, while other agreements will be terminated and rendered null and void. Dr. Rittman will resign as an officer of the Company, but will remain as Director and technical consultant of the Company, and will accommodate the needs of the Company in return for compensation to be agreed by the parties. All intellectual property will remain in the possession of Dr. Rittman and his private partners, and the Company shall remain a licensee per the terms of the original Territorial License Agreement, and will develop the first product with Dr. Rittman and his partners.

On April 5, 2016, Erik Klinger was appointed by the Company to serve as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company.

Effective August15, 2016, the Employment Agreement of Mansour Khatib, our CMO, was amended and restated as follows:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Gopher Protocol, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Gopher Protocol, Inc. (the "Company”) as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flow for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company was not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the results of its operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and its cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, these conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

GOPHER PROTOCOL INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2016 AND 2015

Note 1 - Organization and Nature of Business

Gopher Protocol Inc.

It is intended that GopherInsight™software applications will work in conjunction with GopherInsight™microchips across mobile operating systems, providing computing power, advanced database management/sharing functionalities and more. The technology under development consists of a smart microchip, mobile application software and supporting software. The system contemplates the creation of a global network. Upon development, the Company believes that its microchip technologies may be installed within mobile devices or on SIM cards.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Presentation and Basis of Financial Statements

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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. Significant estimates in the accompanying financial statements include depreciable lives of property and equipment, valuation of beneficial conversion feature debt discounts, valuation of derivatives, and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid financial instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost and the related depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred. Renewals and betterments are capitalized. Upon the sale or retirement of an asset, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is recognized in the results of operations.

As required by U.S. GAAP for long-lived assets, the Company evaluates the fair value of its property and equipment on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Any impairment of value is recognized when the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. There were no impairment losses for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. The Company has opted to expense all development costs associated with the development of its intellectual property.

Fair value measurements

Financial instruments and certain non-financial assets and liabilities are measured at their fair value as determined based on the assets highest and best use. GAAP has established a framework for measuring fair value that is based on a hierarchy that requires that the valuation technique used be based on the most objective inputs available for measuring a particular asset or liability. There are three broad levels in the fair value hierarchy that describe the degree of objectivity of the inputs used to determine fair value. The fair value hierarchy is set forth below:

F-8

Level 1 — inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 — inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

Level 3 — inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. They are based on best information available in the absence of level 1 and 2 inputs.

The carrying value of financial instruments, which include cash, notes receivable, notes payable, and accrued expenses, approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

Treasury Stock

Treasury stock is recorded at cost. The re-issuance of treasury shares is accounted for on a first in, first-out basis and any difference between the cost of treasury shares and the re-issuance proceeds are charged or credited to additional paid-in capital. During 2011, the Company bought back 8 post-split shares (38,000 pre-split) shares of its own shares.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB Codification Topic 740-10-25 (“ASC 740-10-25”) Income Taxes. Under ASC 740-10-25, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. 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. Under ASC 740-10-25, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount of tax benefits expected to be realized.

U.S. GAAP requires that, in applying the liability method, the financial statement effects of an uncertain tax position be recognized based on the outcome that is more likely than not to occur. Under this criterion, the most likely resolution of an uncertain tax position should be analyzed based on technical merits and on the outcome that would likely be sustained under examination. The Company had no uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2016. The Company’s 2015 tax returns been filed.

Revenue Recognition

During the year ended December 31, 2016, 100% of the Company’s revenue was related to IT service provided to the LLC for Dr. Rittman services, in connection with the development of the Company's Guardian Patch technology.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Fair value accounting requires bifurcation of embedded derivative instruments such as conversion features in convertible debt or equity instruments, and measurement of their fair value for accounting purposes. In determining the appropriate fair value, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. In assessing the convertible debt instruments, management determines if the convertible debt host instrument is conventional convertible debt and further if there is a beneficial conversion feature requiring measurement. If the instrument is not considered conventional convertible debt, the Company will continue its evaluation process of these instruments as derivative financial instruments.

F-9

Once determined, derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each reporting period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as an adjustment to fair value of derivatives. In addition, the fair value of freestanding derivative instruments such as warrants, are also valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

(Loss) Per Share

In accordance with accounting guidance now codified as FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share,” Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential of shares of common stock outstanding during the period including stock options or warrants, using the treasury stock method (by using the average stock price for the period to determine the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants), and convertible debt or convertible preferred stock, using the if-converted method. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential of shares of common stock if their effect is anti-dilutive. Because of the Company’s net losses, the effects of stock options, convertible notes, and convertible preferred stock would be anti-dilutive and accordingly, is excluded from the computation of earnings per share.

Note 3 - Liquidity and Going Concern

The Company sustained net losses of $1,586,226 in this fiscal year, and our operating activities used $15,995. Our net loss was caused in part by a non-cash warrant expense of $177,062, which was revalued at December 31, 2016, and prepaid legal services valued at $675,948. The Company had a working capital deficit of $757,377, stockholders’ deficit of $803,030, and accumulated deficit of $4,094,372 at December 31, 2016. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is dependent upon its ability to generate revenues and its ability to continue receiving investment capital and loans from third parties to sustain its current level of operations. The Company is in the process of securing working capital from investors for common stock, convertible notes payable, and/or strategic partnerships. No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in these efforts. Per the Joint Venture agreement, Guardian LLC has committed to provide the Company with all its working capital needs, Guardian LLC’s commitment has decreased much of the risk of going concern.

F-10

Note 4 - Prepaid Expenses

In June 2016, the Company recognized a prepaid expense for filing fees of $10,498. These prepaid fees are being amortized at $1,750 per quarter, and that expense has been recognized in this fiscal quarter. The current balance at December 31, 2016 is $5,248.

Certain private investors will provide all initial funding to the Company through the LLC for product development. The LLC will fund the development, and the Company will provide IT services through Dr. Rittman for a monthly fee. Dr. Rittman has signed an amendment employment agreement with the Company. As the Company is not a member of the LLC, the Company and the LLC have formed a Joint Venture (“JV”) for the purposes of developing and marketing the Patch. The LLC will be responsible for funding the development of the Patch. The Company will not need be required to invest funds in said JV. The Company responsibilities will be limited to the marketing of the product, where the marketing budget will be funded by the LLC. Moreover, the LLC has committed to provide the Company with working capital as needed. The Company has assigned and pledged to the LLC all its license derivative rights as they pertain to the Patch only. Dr. Rittman may be offered membership rights at some point in the future with the LLC, with which the Company is a JV partner, but is not equity member. The Company has agreed with the LLC that the same JV principles of the Company and the LLC for the Patch will apply for the other two products (Epsilon and Puzpix) which will be vested under designated LLCs that will be incorporated by the LLC members.

Note 11 - Per Share Information

Loss per share

Basic loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted loss per share of common stock (“Diluted EPS”) is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock and dilutive common stock equivalents and convertible securities then outstanding. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, there were 73,251,707 and 104,753,717 of potentially dilutive post-split common stock equivalents outstanding, respectively. The potentially dilutive common stock equivalents at December 31, 2016 arise from (i) the issuance on December 7, 2011 of 45,000 Series B Preferred Shares which are convertible into 3,000 common shares, (ii) the issuance of 10,000 Series C Preferred Shares having a stated value of $100 per share, of which 700 shares remain unconverted, which remaining unconverted shares are convertible into 770 post-split common shares, given recent market prices, and notwithstanding a restriction against owning more than 4.99% of the Company’s stock, and (iii) the issuance of a note payable to GV Global which based on hypothetical conversion at December 31, 2016 would have converted into 7,154,320 post-split common shares, (iv) the issuance of 100,000 Series D Preferred Shares worth $120,000 to Vulcan, 34,000 of which have already been converted, the remainder (unconverted balance) of which given hypothetical conversion at December 31, 2016 would have converted to 66,000,000 post-split shares, and (v) the Waterford warrant on 93,750 shares. The potentially dilutive common stock equivalents at December 31, 2015 arise from (i) the issuance on December 7, 2011 of 45,000 Series B Preferred Shares which are convertible into 3,000 common shares, (ii) the issuance of 10,000 Series C Preferred Shares having a stated value of $100 per share, of which 700 shares remain unconverted, which remaining unconverted shares are convertible into 770 post-split common shares, given recent market prices, and notwithstanding a restriction against owning more than 4.99% of the Company’s stock, (iii) the issuance of a Note I which based on hypothetical conversion at December 31, 2015 would have converted into 9,999,947 post-split common shares, and (iv) the issuance of 100,000 Series D Preferred Shares worth $120,000 to Vulcan, 5,250 of which have already been converted during this fiscal year, the remainder (unconverted balance) of which given hypothetical conversion at December 31, 2015 would have converted to 94,750,000 post-split shares. The computation of Diluted EPS does not assume exercise or conversion of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on the net loss per common share. Share amounts are shown in post-split amounts to facilitate comparison between the periods.
