Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 4 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Use of Estimates The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected. Significant estimates in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include valuation of derivatives and valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. Principles of Consolidation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries; the Company’s 50% owned subsidiaries: GBT Tokenize Corp, and GBT BitSpeed Corp. (currently inactive) and , Gopher Protocol Costa Rica Sociedad De Responsabilidad Limitada (currently inactive), a wholly owned subsidiary, AltCorp Trading LLC, a Costa Rica company (“AltCorp” currently inactive) and Greenwich International Holdings, a Costa Rica corporation (“Greenwich” currently inactive). All significant intercompany transactions and balances were eliminated. For entities determined to be VIEs, an evaluation is required to determine whether the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company evaluates its economic interests in the entity specifically determining if the Company has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance (“the power”) and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE (“the benefits”). When making the determination whether the benefits received from an entity are significant, the Company considers the total economics of the entity, and analyzes whether the Company’s share of the economics is significant. The Company utilizes qualitative factors, and, where applicable, quantitative factors, while performing the analysis. In addition, the Company’s variable interests in Mahaser obligate the Company to absorb deficits and provide it with the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to Mahaser. As a result of this analysis, the Company concluded it is the primary beneficiary of Mahaser and therefore consolidates the balance sheets, results of operations and cash flows of Mahaser. The Company performs a qualitative assessment of Mahaser on an ongoing basis to determine if it continues to be the primary beneficiary. Effective July 1, 2023, the Company terminated its joint venture revenue sharing (“Termination Agreement”) with Mahaser LTD (“Mahaser”). Until June 30, 2023, the Company’s variable interests in Mahaser obligate the Company to absorb deficits and provide it with the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to Mahaser. As a result of this analysis, the Company concluded it is the primary beneficiary of Mahaser and therefore consolidates the balance sheets, results of operations and cash flows of Mahaser until June 30, 2023. The Company performs a qualitative assessment of Mahaser on an ongoing basis to determine if it continues to be the primary beneficiary. Per the Termination Agreement, the Company has no access to Mahaser and ceased consolidated Mahaser as it does not comply with the condition in the qualitative assess, and as such this CFS does not include Mahaser operations for the period ended September 30, 2024. Cash Equivalents For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash equivalents include time deposits, certificate of deposits, and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company did no Marketable Securities The Company accounts for investment securities in accordance with ASC Topic 321, Investments – equity securities. Derivative Financial Instruments The Company evaluates all of its agreements to determine if such instruments have derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its FV and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the FV reported in the statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses a weighted-average Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s only derivative financial instrument was an embedded conversion feature associated with convertible notes payable due to certain provisions that allow for a change in the conversion price based on a percentage of the Company’s stock price at the date of conversion. Fair Value of Financial Instruments For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and short-term debt, the carrying amounts approximate their FV due to their short maturities. FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Financial Instruments ● Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices 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, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in inactive markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. ● Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology use one or more unobservable inputs which are significant to the FV measurement. The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under FASB ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity Derivatives and Hedging For certain financial instruments, the carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash and current liabilities, including convertible notes payable, each qualify as a financial instrument, and are a reasonable estimate of their FV because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The Company uses Level 2 inputs for its valuation methodology for derivative liabilities as their FV were determined by using the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model based on various assumptions. The Company’s derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect FV at each period end, with any increase or decrease in the FV being recorded in results of operations as adjustments to FV of derivatives. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company identified the following liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at FV: Schedule of liabilities to be presented on balance sheet at fair value Fair Value Fair Value Measurements at As of September 30, 2024 Description September 30, 2024 Using Fair Value Hierarchy Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Conversion feature on convertible notes $ 665,941 $ — $ 665,941 $ — Fair Value Fair Value Measurements at As of December 31, 2023 Description December 31, 2023 Using Fair Value Hierarchy Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Conversion feature on convertible notes $ 14,116,062 $ — $ 14,116,062 $ — 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. The Company has 8 treasury stock from acquisitions that commenced in 2011. Reclassification Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations. Effective July 1, 2023, the Company terminated its joint venture revenue sharing (“Termination Agreement”) with Mahaser LTD (“Mahaser”). Until June 30, 2023, the Company’s variable interests in Mahaser obligate the Company to absorb deficits and provide it with the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to Mahaser. The Company evaluated for the period ended on June 30, 2023, whether it has a variable interest in Mahaser, whether Mahaser is a VIE and whether the Company has a controlling financial interest in Mahaser. The Company concluded that it has variable interests in Mahaser on the basis of GBT has 100% control over the JV/revenue sharing, and as such should consolidate the JV into its books and records as it assigned 100% financial responsibility. Mahaser’s equity at risk, as defined by GAAP, is considered to be insufficient to finance its activities without additional support, and, therefore, Mahaser is considered a VIE. As termination Agreement took place during the reporting period, the financial been classified to disclose this operation as discontinued operation.
