PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

This Quarterly Report includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  These statements are based on management’s beliefs and assumptions, and on information currently available to management.  Forward-looking statements include the information concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations set forth under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”  Forward-looking statements also include statements in which words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “estimate,” “consider,” or similar expressions are used.

 

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance.  Such forward-looking statements include risks and uncertainties and there are important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.  Our future results and shareholder values may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements.  Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Although we believe the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, it is not possible to foresee or identify all factors that could have a material effect on the future financial performance of the Company. The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report are made on the basis of management’s assumptions and analyses, as of the time the statements are made, in light of their experience and perception of historical conditions, expected future developments and other factors believed to be appropriate under the circumstances.

 

Except as otherwise required by the federal securities laws, we disclaim any obligation or undertaking to publicly release any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement contained in this Quarterly Report and the information incorporated by reference herein to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any statement is based.

Global Arena Holding, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024, and 2023

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION

 

Organization and Business

 

Global Arena Holding, Inc. (GAHI) was formed in February 2009, in the state of Delaware. GAHI and its subsidiaries (the Company) was previously a financial services firm and currently is focusing on the following businesses through these subsidiaries:

 

On February 25, 2015, Global Election Services, Inc. (GES), formed on February 25, 2015, provides comprehensive technology-enabled paper absentee/mail ballot and internet election services to organizations such as craft and trade organizations, labor unions, political parties, co-operatives and housing organizations, associations and professional societies, universities, and political organizations. GES has developed proprietary election software for a data storage and retrieval registration system to determine voter eligibility and prevent duplicate votes with In-Person digital signature capture, as well as proprietary election software for scanning/tabulation utilizing advanced OMR/OCR/Barcode imaging software featuring de-skewing, de-speckling, and image correction. This system provides three types of audit capabilities. The hardware includes high speed optical scanners that are hard lined to a computer with all Wi-Fi disabled so the entire tabulation process occurs offline, eliminating the opportunity for hacking. GES is also working with multiple vendors and has made investments in companies who are developing Blockchain Technology for a data storage and retrieval registration system; tabulation of paper Absentee/Mail Ballots; and internet voting.

 

On March 25, 2021, the Company entered into a second amended purchase agreement (APA) with Election Services Solutions. Under the second APA the Company entered into an amended asset purchase agreement with Election Services Solutions, LLC. Under the amended APA, the Company will purchase 100% of the assets of Election Services Solutions, LLC and the Company will pay $650,000, of which $511,150 has already been paid, and issue 40,000,000 common shares to purchase these assets under this second amended APA. This APA replaces the first amended purchase agreement signed on May 10, 2019, wherein the Company was to purchase 100% of the assets of Election Services Solutions, LLC. The Company was to pay $550,000, of which $511,150 has already been paid, and issue 20,000,000 common shares to purchase these assets under this first amended APA. GES derives over 80 % of its current business from Election Services Solutions. On August 2, 2024, the Company entered into a convertible promissory note agreement with the former owner of Elections Service Solutions Managing Director to finalize the purchase of GES. The note has a principal amount of $138,850 due in August 2, 2025, with an annual interest rate of 12%.

 

On May 20, 2015, the Company incorporated a new wholly owned entity in the State of Delaware called GAHI Acquisition Corp. This entity was incorporated at the time to be the merger subsidiary for the acquisition of Blockchain Technologies Corp. (BTC) and other software system development.

 

On May 20, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger with BTC. Under this agreement, BTC would have merged with GAHI Acquisition, and GAHI Acquisition would have been the surviving corporation. As consideration for the merger, the Company was to reserve a number of shares equal to 1/3 the total issued and outstanding of the Company to be issued to BTC shareholders at closing. On October 20, 2015, the parties agreed to extend the closing date of the merger to December 15, 2015. This agreement expired on December 15, 2015.

 

9

 

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION (continued)

 

Concurrently, on October 20, 2015, the Company paid $125,000 in cash to BTC and issued to Nikolaos Spanos 1,377,398 of its common shares and 1,993,911 warrants to purchase its common shares at the exercise price of $.10 per common share with an exercise period of three years. The warrants have expired. The common shares and warrants were issued for the purchase of 1,000,000 common shares of BTC. Said common shares of BTC represented ten percent (10%) of the outstanding equity in BTC on October 20, 2015. The securities issued by the Company were issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. There has been no further activity in GAHI Acquisition Corp.

 

On March 28, 2017, the United States Patent Office issued patents to BTC covering Election Intellectual Property, US Patent #9,608,829, Issued March 28, 2017. As an equity shareholder in BTC only, GAHC and GES have not used the BTC US Patent. Any use of the patent would require a new negotiation, and a new contract with BTC.

 

The Company has determined that the initial investment of Blockchain Technologies Corp. will be written off. The Companys Board of Directors cancelled all transactions previously proposed but never acted on concerning GAHI Acquisition. GAHI Acquisition will remain a subsidiary for the exclusive use of any future transactions involving Blockchain Technologies Corporation.

 

The Company, GAHI, and GES do not trade crypto currency, nor participate in Initial Coin Offerings.

 

On February 27, 2023, GES and True Vote, Inc. (“True Vote”) entered into Common Stock Purchase Agreement to create a joint venture. Under the terms of the agreement, GES invested $50,000 into a 24 month debenture and issued a 3-year warrant exercisable at $0.01 for 4,500,000 common shares of the Company. The Company received 3 million common shares of TrueVote, representing 30% of TrueVote. The transaction closed on February 27, 2023.

 

On November 19, 2019, the Company formed Tidewater Energy Group Inc., a 51% subsidiary, formed to explore opportunities in the oil, gas, mineral, and energy business. The Company closed Tidewater Energy Group Inc. on December 31, 2024.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which contemplates the continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has generated recurring losses from operations and cash flow deficits from its operations since inception and has had to continually borrow to continue operating. In addition, certain of the Company’s debt is in default as of September 30, 2024. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The continued operations of the Company are dependent upon its ability to raise additional capital, obtain additional financing and/or acquire or develop a business that generates sufficient positive cash flows from operations. The Company continues to raise funds from the issuance of additional convertible promissory note. Management is hopeful that with their ability to raise additional funds that the Company should be able to continue as a going concern.

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue as a going concern.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and include the accounts of GAHI and its wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries, GES, GAHI Acquisition Corp and Tidewater Energy Group, Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Noncontrolling Interest

 

The Company follows the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, Consolidation, which governs the accounting for and reporting of non-controlling interests (“NCIs”) in partially owned consolidated subsidiaries and the loss of control of subsidiaries. Certain provisions of this standard indicate, among other things, that NCIs be treated as a separate component of equity, not as a liability, that increases and decreases in the parent’s ownership interest that leave control intact be treated as equity transactions rather than as step acquisitions or dilution gains or losses, and that losses of a partially owned consolidated subsidiary be allocated to the NCI even when such allocation might result in a deficit balance.

 

The net income (loss) attributed to the NCI is separately designated in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

Earnings per share is calculated in accordance with the ASC 260-10, Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings-per-share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings-per-share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible notes, stock options and warrants were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. The following potentially dilutive shares were excluded from the shares used to calculate diluted earnings per share as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

Management Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.  Significant estimates reflected in the consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, share-based compensation, and assumptions used in valuing derivative liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

11

 

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all demand and time deposits and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Convertible Debt

 

Convertible debt is accounted for under FASB ASC 470, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options. The Company records a beneficial conversion feature (BCF) related to the issuance of convertible debt that has conversion features at fixed or adjustable rates that are in-the-money when issued and records the relative fair value of any warrants issued with those instruments. The BCF for the convertible instruments is recognized and measured by allocating a portion of the proceeds to the warrants and as a reduction to the carrying amount of the convertible instrument equal to the intrinsic value of the conversion features, both of which are credited to additional paid-in capital.  The Company calculates the fair value of warrants issued with the convertible instruments using the Black-Scholes valuation method, using the same assumptions used for valuing stock options, except that the contractual life of the warrant is used.  

 

Under these guidelines, the Company allocates the value of the proceeds received from a convertible debt transaction between the conversion feature and any other detachable instruments (such as warrants) on a relative fair value basis. The allocated fair value of the BCF and warrants are recorded as a debt discount and is accreted over the expected term of the convertible debt as interest expense. 

 

The Company accounts for modifications of its embedded conversion features in accordance with the ASC which requires the modification of a convertible debt instrument that changes the fair value of an embedded conversion feature and the subsequent recognition of interest expense or the associated debt instrument when the modification does not result in a debt extinguishment.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives pursuant to ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton model to value the derivative instruments. 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.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with FASB ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company earns revenues through various services it provides to its clients. GES’s income is recognized at the presentation date of the certification of the election results. The payments received in advance are recorded as deferred revenue on the balance sheet. Should an election not proceed, all non-refundable deferred revenue will be recognized as revenue.

 

12

 

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Share-Based Compensation

 

The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. FASB ASC Topic 718 requires companies to measure compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation at fair value at the grant date and recognize the expense over the requisite service period. The Company recognizes in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees and non-employees.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement defines fair value as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability.  The fair value should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company applies the provisions of ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. ASC 820-10 defines fair value and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:

 

 

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, 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.

 

Cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses and deferred revenue – The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for these items are a reasonable estimate of fair value due to their short-term nature.

 

Promissory notes payable and convertible promissory notes payable – Promissory notes payable and convertible promissory notes payable are recorded at amortized cost.  The carrying amount approximates their fair value.

 

The Company uses Level 2 inputs for its valuation methodology for the beneficial conversion feature and warrant derivative liabilities as their fair values were determined by using the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model based on various assumptions. The Company’s derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in the results of operations as adjustments to the fair value of derivatives.

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. ASC 740 requires a company to use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

 

Under ASC 740, a tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The adoption had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Equity Investments

 

The Company accounts for investment securities in accordance with ASC Topic 323, ASC 323, Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures. The company is required to initially record at cost, and subsequently adjust based the investor's share of the investee's profits and losses.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

  

In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)—Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity.  ASU 2020-06 reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. For convertible instruments with conversion features that are not required to be accounted for as derivatives under Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital, the embedded conversion features no longer are separated from the host contract.  ASU 2020-06 also removes certain conditions that should be considered in the derivatives scope exception evaluation under Subtopic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, and clarify the scope and certain requirements under Subtopic 815-40.  In addition, ASU 2020-06 improves the guidance related to the disclosures and earnings-per-share (EPS) for convertible instruments and contracts in the entity’s own equity.  ASU 2020-06 is effective for public business entities that meet the definition of a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filer, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Board specified that an entity should adopt the guidance as of the beginning of its annual fiscal year.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards could have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements. As new accounting pronouncements are issued, we will adopt those that are applicable under the circumstances.

NOTE 3 - Equity Investments

 

On March 25, 2021, the Company entered into a second amended purchase agreement (APA) with Election Services Solutions. Under the second APA the Company entered into an amended asset purchase agreement with Election Services Solutions, LLC. Under the amended APA, the Company will purchase 100% of the assets of Election Services Solutions, LLC and the Company will pay $650,000, of which $511,150 has already been paid, and issue 40,000,000 common shares to purchase these assets under this second amended APA. This APA replaces the first amended purchase agreement signed on May 10, 2019, wherein the Company was to purchase 100% of the assets of Election Services Solutions, LLC. The Company was to pay $550,000, of which $511,150 has already been paid, and issue 20,000,000 common shares to purchase these assets under this first amended APA. GES derives over 80 % of its current business from Election Services Solutions. On August 2, 2024, the company enter into a convertible promissory note agreement with the former owner of Elections Service solutions Managing director to finalize the purchase of GES.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Current GES Corporate Operations

 

GES has developed and deployed proprietary registration software, which was designed specifically to authenticate and register voters. This proprietary software functions as a data storage and retrieval registration system by cross-referencing eligibility status within a control voter database. In a mail ballot election, the voter’s ID barcode, QR code, or signature on the business reply envelope, can be scanned and the status of that voter is identified. If the voter is not eligible to vote or another ballot for that individual has already been registered in the system, that ballot is marked VOID and removed from the count. In an in-person election, the voter provides their name for look-up in the system. If they have not voted, a signature box pops up on the screen, the voter signs an electronic signature-pad and the digital signature is captured next to their name. If a voter tries to vote more than once, an alert will pop up indicating that the voter has already registered, and the voter will not receive an additional ballot. Because we account for every single ballot, the system has multiple reporting options, which include the list of valid envelopes and list of voters whose ballot was void, detailing the reason. Once the voter is authenticated, the identifiers are removed to ensure a secret vote, and the ballot is scanned for tabulation.

 

GES developed proprietary scanning and tabulation election software. This software features advanced OMR/OCR/barcode scanning and tabulation system featuring de-skewing, de-speckling and image correction. The computer hardware was designed to run hard wired without Internet or Wi-Fi access, ensuring complete security. The system allows for triple-auditing capabilities, which are electronically generated tabulation results, .jpeg imaging and storage, and the original physical ballot. This advancement gives GES the ability to tabulate elections faster and more efficiently. As experts in paper/mail ballot elections, GES began deploying this system in our elections in the third quarter of 2017.

 

In 2020 GES developed, built and implemented a propriety online election voting solution that is compliant with Title IV of the United States Department of Labor Office of Labor-Management Standards.

 

GES built the platform on Amazon Web Services (AWS), which we believe is one of the most secure global infrastructures, and is a comprehensive, evolving platform provided by Amazon that includes a mixture of infrastructure as a service (IaaS) platform as a service and packaged software (PaaS), and software as a service offerings (SaaS).

 

The platform enables GES to protect individual client data, including the ability to encrypt it, move it, and manage retention (if required). All data flowing across the global network interconnects with the GES secured data center and is automatically encrypted at the physical layer before it leaves our secured facilities. Additional encryption layers exist as well.

 

GES controls where our client data is stored, who can access it, and what resources your organization is utilizing at any given moment. Fine-grain identity and access controls combined with continuous monitoring for near real-time security information ensures that the right resources have the right access at all times, wherever your information is stored.

 

GES encryption software uses AES 256 with a cryptographic key using an RSA elliptic curve of 4096, which is used to encrypt the communication of the client and the GES server, as well as all client data hosted in the server. A six-digit security code, delivered to the voter’s email address provided by the client, must be validated by the prospective voter in order to authenticate the identity of the voter before the voter may access the ballot. After validating the voter, the voter then votes anonymously, so that the identity of the voter and the ballot cast can never be matched.

 

The GES voting platform verifies that the users do not use the back and forward browser button, a safe mechanism against tampering. Distributed denial of service DDoS protection tools help secure websites and applications and prevent DDoS attacks, which bombard websites with traffic traditionally delivered via “botnets" that are created by networked endpoints connected via malware. The DDoS software protection provides always-on detection and automatic inline mitigations that minimize application downtime and latency.

Every state has election software developers and manufacturers who may also qualify by meeting individual requirements for individual states in the United States.

 

GES has begun undertaking the following six step benchmarks to qualify for the updated U.S. certification and is also considering individual State certifications:

 

Step 1 - Voting System Testing, Testing current developed systems to U.S. Federal 2.0 Standards

Step 2 - Technical Data Package Review; Reviews submitted documents against documentation requirements of outside agencies, published standards, or U.S. specifications

Step 3 - Physical Configuration Audit; Examines the documentation of the system against the actual submitted system

Step 4 - System Integration Testing; Executes tests on all components of a system configured as if the system was deployed

Step 5 - Functional Configuration Audit; Examines submitted test data and conducts additional testing to verify submitted system hardware and software described in the documents submitted to the Elections Assistance Commission and the Department of Homeland Security

Step 6 - Security Testing; Performs vulnerability assessments and penetration analysis to assess system vulnerabilities

 

Trends and Uncertainties

 

The Company currently has minimal revenues and operations and is investigating potential businesses and companies for acquisition to create and/or acquire a sustainable business. Our ability to acquire or create a sustainable business may be adversely affected by our current financial conditions, availability of capital and/or loans, general economic conditions which can be cyclical in nature along with prolonged recessionary periods, and other economic and political situations. 

 

The Company has generated recurring losses and cash flow deficits from its operations since inception and has had to continually borrow to continue operations. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The continued operations of the Company are dependent upon its ability to raise additional capital, obtain additional financing and/or generate positive cash flows from operations.   Management believes that it will be successful in obtaining additional financing, from which the proceeds will be primarily used to execute its new operating plans. The Company plans to use its available cash and new financing to develop and execute its new business plan and hopefully create and maintain a self-sustaining business.  However, the Company can give no assurances that it will be successful in achieving its plans or if financing will be available or, if available, on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all.  Should the Company not be successful in obtaining the necessary financing to fund its operations and ultimately achieve adequate profitability and cash flows from operations, the Company would need to curtail certain or all its operating activities. 

 

There are no trends, events or uncertainties that have had or are reasonably expected to have a material impact on the net sales or revenues or income from continuing operations. There are no significant elements of income or loss that do not arise from our continuing operations except for the fair value change on derivative financial instruments and settlement on arbitration. 

 

The rapid advances in computing and telecommunications technology over the past several decades have brought with them increasingly sophisticated methods of delivering administrating elections. Along with these advances, though, have come risks regarding the integrity and privacy of data, and these risks apply to election companies, falling into the general classification of cybersecurity. While it is not possible for anyone to give an absolute guarantee that data will not be compromised, when applicable, the Company shall utilize third-party service providers to secure the Company’s financial and personal data; the Company believes that third-party service providers provide reasonable assurance that the financial and personal data that they hold are secure.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $33,208,472 and a working capital deficit of $10,391,953. Our ability to continue as a going concern depends upon whether we can ultimately attain profitable operations, generate sufficient cash flow to meet our obligations, and obtain additional financing as needed.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded a net loss of $710,164.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2024, compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2023

 

Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2024, were $350,041 compared to $268,304 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $81,737.  Most of our clients hold elections over a three-year cycle. This increase in revenues is due primarily to fewer elections being held during the three-month period in 2023.

 

Salaries and benefits totaled $20,618 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $47,015 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. This decrease was related to the change in the Company’s salary agreement with its directors.

 

Professional fees for the three months ended September 30, 2024, totaled $176,916 compared to $134,333 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $42,583. This increase is primarily due to increased legal fees during the three months ended September 30, 2024.

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, we incurred marketing and advertising expenses of $50,429 compared to $27,576 in the three months ended September 30, 2023. We incurred software development expenses of $nil in 2024 compared to $9,270 in 2023, we incurred printing costs of $184,679 in 2024 compared to $85,086 in 2023, and we incurred general and administrative expenses of $23,816 in 2024 compared to $43,564 in 2023. The increase in printing expenses was mainly due to an increase in costs related to the increase in revenue.

 

Total operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024, were $456,458, compared to $346,844 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $109,614 principally due to reasons discussed above.

 

31


 

Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024, compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023

 

Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, were $930,354 compared to $612,468 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $317,886.  Most of our clients hold elections on a three-year cycle. This increase in revenues is due primarily to fewer elections held during the nine-month period in 2023.

 

Salaries and benefits totaled $96,617 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $281,825 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This decrease was due to the employment compensation amended for John Matthews and Kathryn Weisbeck since the second quarter of 2023 and reduced the salary to $2 per quarter per person.

 

Professional fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, totaled $319,477 compared to $333,739 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of $14,262. This decrease is primarily due to decreased assistance needed during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we incurred marketing and advertising expenses of $131,379 compared to $90,455 in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. We incurred software development expenses of $4,990 in 2024 compared to $18,839 in 2023, we incurred printing costs of $307,320 in 2024 compared to $121,223 in 2023, and we incurred general and administrative expenses of $124,131 in 2024 compared to $142,274 in 2023. The increase in printing expenses was mainly due to an increase in costs related to the increase in revenue.

 

Total operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, were $983,914, compared to $988,355 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of $4,441 principally due to reasons discussed above.

 

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Not Applicable

 

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of September 30, 2024.

 

We do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals.  Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded such controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2024 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

32


 

Evaluation of Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have evaluated changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, or those persons performing similar functions, did not identify any change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Important Considerations

 

The effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting is subject to various inherent limitations, including cost limitations, judgments used in decision making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the soundness of our systems, the possibility of human error, and the risk of fraud. Moreover, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions and the risk that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate over time.

 

Because of these limitations, there can be no assurance that any system of disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will be successful in preventing all errors or fraud or in making all material information known in a timely manner to the appropriate levels of management.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

 

The Company may be involved in legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties, and outcomes are not predictable with assurance.

 

On December 26, 2017, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with a prior attorney with regards to outstanding legal fees owed. Pursuant to this settlement agreement, the Company paid $25,000 on January 5, 2018, and $25,000 on February 5, 2018, and was required to pay an additional $200,000 during 2018. On December 14, 2020, the parties amended the settlement agreement to state that the Company shall pay the prior attorney Two Hundred Nineteen Thousand, Five Hundred and Seventy-Six Dollars ($219,576). As of September 30, 2024, the Company has made total payments of $75,000 toward the remaining balance.

 

On June 30, 2022, the Company was named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Index No. 651531/2002. The plaintiff has alleged breach of contract and unjust enrichment. The plaintiff is seeking damages relating to a plaintiff’s prior employment agreement with the Company. The Company has obtained counsel to dispute the charges. On July 19, 2023, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the plaintiff, requiring the Company to pay $30,000.  The Company made payments of $5,000 on September 15, 2023, and $5,000 on November 10, 2023. On March 8, 2024, the Company made payments of $5,000. On April 25, 2024, the Company made payments of $5,000.  As of the date of filing, there is $5,000 outstanding on this settlement.

 

On May 1, 2023, Brett Pezzuto and Christian Pezzuto filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Civil Action No. 1:23-cv-03591) against the Company and GES for breach of contract for failures to pay monies owned pursuant to promissory notes and for not providing plaintiffs an opportunity to convert their promissory notes to common stock.  The plaintiffs are asking for damages in the aggregate amount of $1,565,610.    The case was settled on February 12, 2024, with an amendment to the settlement agreement signed by the parties on April 19, 2024.  Under this settlement agreement, the Company shall enter into confession of judgment agreements with each of Brett and Christian Pezzuto for the principal and interest due and owing on their respective convertible promissory notes for GAHC and GES (the “GAHC Notes” and “GES Notes”, respectively) through September 30, 2024, which totals to each Brett and Christian the sum of two hundred and thirty-four thousand dollars ($234,000) (the “GAHC Settlement Sum”).  If the Company does not pay the respective GAHC Settlement Sum to both Brett and Christian prior to September 30, 2024, then Brett and Christian or their agents shall have the right to enforce the confession of judgment.  Brett and Christian have the right, but not the obligation, to convert their respective GAHC Notes at $0.001 per share.  If Brett and Christian do not elect to convert the GAHC Notes, the GAHC Notes will be paid as described above.  In addition, Brett and Christian have each been granted seventy-five million (75,000,000) warrants for a total of one hundred fifty million (150,000,000) warrants at a strike price of $0.001 per share for a period of five years.  The GES Notes have an outstanding principal and interest balance of one hundred seventy-six thousand six hundred forty-one dollars ($176,641) (the “GES Notes Sum”) for each Brett and Christian.  The GES Notes will be converted into stock of 1329291 B.C. Ltd, which is doing an acquisition of GES.  If the GES acquisition does not take place, Brett and Christian or their agents shall have the right to enforce the confession of judgement agreements on the GES Notes.  On or before September 30, 2024, the Company will reimburse Brett and Christian Pezzuto for their actual legal fees and costs incurred through the end of the performance of the settlement agreements.  This cost is eighty-five thousand two hundred ten dollars and eighty cents ($85,210.80) as of January 15, 2024.  Management is negotiating an extension on this payment.

 

On May 22, 2023, Lim Chap Huat filed a Memorandum of Law in Support of Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary Judgment in Lieu of Complaint Pursuant to CPLR 3213 in the Supreme Court of the State of New York (Index No. 652474/2023) against the Company.  The Memorandum of Law seeks summary judgment on a promissory note made by the Company in the principal amount of $200,000, plus interest at the rate of 12%, as well as attorney’s fees and costs incurred, to recover unpaid monies owned by the Company.  On October 29, 2024, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Limited Release between itself and Mr. Lim Chap Huat. Pursuant to this settlement agreement, the Company agreed to  pay a total of $275,000 to Mr. Lim. In addition, the Company agreed to execute and deliver an Affidavit of Confession of Judgment to Mr. Lim, which can be filed with any New York court of competent jurisdiction in order to collect on the payment until the amount has been paid in full. In return, the Company received a release by Mr. Lim of all actions taken against the Company and withdrawal of his action with the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York against the Company entitled Lim Chap Huat v. Global Arena Holding, Inc., 652474/2023. On December 20, 2024, the Company paid $250,000 of the settlement debt. On January 6, 2025, the Company paid $25,000 of the settlement debt, completing the terms of the settlement.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors

 

1.            You could lose your entire investment.

The Company’s securities are highly speculative, involve a high degree of risk and should not be purchased by any person who cannot afford the loss of the entire investment.

2.            Our auditors have raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company does not have sufficient working capital necessary to pursue its business objectives, our auditors have expressed their opinion that we may fail in the future if we do not generate revenue and profits in the near future. The Company is a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until we become profitable. If we are unable to obtain adequate capital, we could be forced to cease operations.

To continue as a going concern, we will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management's plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by seeking equity and/or debt financing sufficient to meet our minimal operating expenses and for specific project financing. However, management cannot provide any assurances that we will be successful in accomplishing any of our plans.

3.            The sale or issuance of a substantial number of our common shares will likely negatively affect the market price of our common shares.

The future sale of a substantial number of common shares in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could significantly and negatively affect the market price for our common shares. The Company may also issue common shares as part of any strategic acquisitions the Company may engage in or for other business purposes, which would dilute your interest in our business.  Also, common shares issued in this manner could negatively affect the market price of our common shares.

4.            We do not intend to pay cash dividends on our common shares in the foreseeable future. 

Any payment of cash dividends will depend upon our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and other factors and will be at the discretion of our board of directors.  The Company does not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common shares in the foreseeable future.  Furthermore, we may incur indebtedness that may restrict or prohibit the payment of dividends.

5.            Developments in market and economic conditions have in the past adversely affected, and may in the future adversely affect, our business and profitability.

Performance in the elections industry is heavily influenced by the overall strength of economic conditions and financial market activity, which generally have a direct and material impact on our results of operations and financial condition. It is difficult to predict if uncertain and unfavorable market and economic conditions will arise in 2024, which will cause market and economic conditions to deteriorate.

6.            Our subsidiary faces intense competition in these uncertain financial times and their financial results can be negatively affected.

All aspects of elections technology are highly competitive. The firms that our subsidiary compete with include large well-known firms who have substantially greater financial and personnel resources. Our subsidiary competes for business based on our experience in the industry, its ability to execute business transactions and the strength of our relationships with their clients.   Intense competition could negatively affect their operations.

7.            We depend on computer and telecommunications systems, and failures in our systems or cyber security attacks could significantly disrupt our business operations.

We have entered into agreements with third parties for hardware, software, telecommunications and other information technology services in connection with our business. In addition, we have developed or may develop proprietary software systems, management techniques and other information technologies incorporating software licensed from third parties. It is possible that we, or these third parties, could incur interruptions from cyber security attacks, computer viruses or malware, or that third party service providers could cause a breach of our data. We believe that we have positive relations with our related vendors and maintain adequate anti-virus and malware software and controls; however, any interruptions to our arrangements with third parties for our computing and communications infrastructure or any other interruptions to, or breaches of, our information systems could lead to data corruption, communication interruption, loss of sensitive or confidential information or otherwise significantly disrupt our business operations. Although we utilize various procedures and controls to monitor these threats and mitigate our exposure to such threats, there can be no assurance that these procedures and controls will be sufficient in preventing security threats from materializing.

 

35


 

8.            Risk management processes may not fully mitigate exposure to the various risks that we face, including individual market risk, for our subsidiaries.

Our subsidiary continues to refine its risk management techniques, strategies and assessment methods on an ongoing basis. However, risk management techniques and strategies, may not be fully effective in mitigating our risk exposure in all economic market environments or against all types of risk. Our subsidiary might fail to identify or anticipate particular risks that our systems are capable of identifying, or the systems that they use, and that are used within the industry generally, may fail to anticipate certain risks. Any failures in their risk management techniques and strategies to accurately quantify their risk exposure could limit our ability to manage risks. In addition, any risk management failures could cause our losses to be significantly greater than the historical measures indicate. Further, our risk modeling cannot take all risks into account.

9.            We rely on our officers and the officers of our subsidiary companies in the execution of our business plan, and we would be adversely impacted if they were to become unavailable to us.

The Company believes that our ability to execute our business strategy will depend to a significant extent upon the efforts and abilities of John S. Matthews, our Chairman, and the officers of our subsidiary company Maralin Falik, and Kathryn Weisbeck.  If any of our officers were to become unavailable to us, our operations would be adversely affected.

10.          Our ability to attract, develop and retain highly skilled and productive employees is critical to the success of our business.

Our subsidiary faces intense competition for qualified employees from other businesses in the Elections industry, and the performance of our subsidiary may suffer to the extent we are unable to attract and retain employees effectively, particularly given the relatively small size of our company and our employee base compared to some of our competitors.

11.          We may suffer losses if our reputation is harmed.

Our subsidiary’s ability to attract and retain clients and employees may be diminished to the extent our reputation is damaged. If we fail, or are perceived to fail, to address various issues that may give rise to reputational risk, we could harm our business prospects. These issues include, but are not limited to, appropriately dealing with market dynamics potential conflicts of interest, legal and regulatory requirements, ethical issues, customer privacy, record-keeping, sales practices, and the proper identification of the legal, reputational, credit, liquidity and market risks inherent in our products and services. Failure to appropriately address these issues could give rise to loss of existing or future business, financial loss, and legal or regulatory liability, including complaints, claims and enforcement proceedings against us, which could, in turn, subject us to fines, judgments and other penalties.

12.          The application of the “penny stock” rules to our common shares could limit the trading and liquidity of the common shares, adversely affect the market price of our common shares and increase your transaction costs to sell those common shares (upon conversion, if any, of the Series A Preferred Shares.

As long as the trading price of the Company’s common shares is below $5.00 per common share, the open-market trading of our common shares will be subject to the “penny stock” rules, unless we otherwise qualify for an exemption from the “penny stock” definition.  The “penny stock” rules impose additional sales practice requirements on certain broker-dealers who sell securities to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors” as defined in SEC Rule 501(a).  These regulations, if they apply, require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a “penny stock,” of a disclosure schedule explaining the “penny stock” market and associated risks.  Under these regulations, certain brokers who recommend such securities to persons other than established customers or certain accredited investors must make a special written suitability determination regarding such a purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to a transaction prior to sale.  These regulations may have the effect of limiting the trading activity of our common shares, reducing the liquidity of an investment in our common shares and increasing the transaction costs for sales and purchases of our common shares as compared to other securities.

13.          Failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 could prevent us from producing reliable financial reports or identifying fraud.  In addition, stockholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting which would have an adverse effect on our stock price.

Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and effectively prevent fraud, and a lack of effective controls could preclude us from accompanying these critical functions.  We are required to document and test our internal control procedures to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which requires annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our company’s internal controls over financial reporting.  Because we are neither a “large accelerated filer” nor an “accelerated filer” as defined under SEC Rule 12b-2, we are not required to have the registered public accounting firm that prepares or issues our audit report to attest to or report on such management assessment.  Although we intend to augment our internal controls procedures and expand our accounting staff, we cannot guarantee that this will occur or that such augmentation and expansion will be sufficient. 

 

36


 

During the course of our testing, we may identify deficiencies, which we may not be able to remediate in time to meet the deadline imposed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act for compliance with the requirements of Section 404.  In addition, if we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal accounting controls, as such standards are modified, supplemented or amended from time to time; we may not be able to ensure that we can conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404.  Failure to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment could cause us to face regulatory action and cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, either of which could have an adverse effect on our stock price.

14.          Our subsidiary election business is subject to complex and evolving U.S. and foreign election laws and regulations. Many of these laws and regulations are subject to change and uncertain interpretation, and could result in claims, changes to our business practices, increased cost of operations, or declines in user growth or engagement, or otherwise harm our business.

Our election subsidiary is subject to a variety of laws and regulations in the United States and abroad that involve matters central to our business, including requirements and certification for hardware and software, user privacy, rights of publicity, data protection, content, intellectual property, distribution, electronic contracts and other communications, competition, protection of minors, consumer protection, taxation, and online payment services. Foreign data protection, privacy, and other laws and regulations are often more restrictive than those in the United States. These U.S. federal and state and foreign laws and regulations are constantly evolving and can be subject to significant change. In addition, the application and interpretation of these laws and regulations are often uncertain, particularly in the new and rapidly evolving industry in which we operate. Several proposals are pending before federal, state, and foreign legislative and regulatory bodies that could significantly affect our business. Similarly, there have been several recent legislative, and certification guidelines in the United States, at both the federal and state level, that would impose new obligations in. the administration of elections. These existing and proposed laws and regulations can be costly to comply with and can delay or impede the development of new products, result in negative publicity, increase our operating costs, require significant management time and attention, and subject us to claims or other remedies, including fines or demands that we modify or cease existing business practices.

 

Item 2.  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company did not issue any shares of common stock.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company issued an aggregate of 474,127,700 shares of common stock for conversion of $132,805 of convertible notes and $7,968 of accrued interest.

 

Item 3.  Defaults Upon Senior Securities

 

None.

 

Item 4.  Mine Safety Disclosures

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 5.  Other Information

 

(a)          None.

(b)          There have been no material changes to the procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to the Company’s Board of Directors since the Company last provided disclosure in response to the requirements of Item 407(c)(3) of Regulation S-K.

(c)          During the quarter ended September 30, 2024, no director or officer of the Company adopted or terminated a contract, instruction or written plan for the purchase or sale of securities of the Company intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c) and/or a non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement.
