SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED NOVEMBER 26,
2021
PROSPECTUS
42,357,784 Shares
Charge Enterprises, Inc.
Common Stock
This
prospectus relates to the disposition from time to time by the
selling stockholders named in this prospectus (the “Selling
Stockholders”) of Charge Enterprises, Inc. (the
“Company”) of up to 42,357,784 shares of our common
stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Shares”),
which includes 27,555,556 shares of our common stock issuable upon
the conversion of convertible promissory notes (the
“Notes”), 7,600,000 shares of our common stock issuable
upon the exercise of warrants (the “Warrants”) and
7,202,228 shares of common stock which are held by the selling
stockholders (the “Selling Stockholders”) identified in
the prospectus, including their transferees, pledgees or donees or
their respective successors. The Shares issued or issuable by us to
the Selling Stockholders were sold in two separate private
placement transactions that were completed on May 8, 2020 and
November 3, 2020. The Notes and Warrants are subject to a blocker
provision (the "Blocker"), which restricts the conversion of the
Notes and exercise of a Warrant if, as a result of such exercise,
the holder, together with its affiliates and any other person whose
beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the
holder's for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), would beneficially
own in excess of 9.99% of our then issued and outstanding shares of
Common Stock (including the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
such conversion and/or exercise).
We are not selling any common stock under this prospectus and will
not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares by the
Selling Stockholders. We will, however, receive the net proceeds of
any Warrants exercised for cash. For a description of the
transaction pursuant to which this resale registration statement
relates, please see “Prospectus Summary – The
Offering.”
The
Selling Stockholders will sell their shares of common stock at
$2.75 per share until our shares are quoted on the OTCQX, OTCQB or
listed on a national securities exchange, and
thereafter, at fixed
prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at
varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated
prices, including, without limitation, in one or more transactions
that may take place by ordinary brokerage transactions,
privately-negotiated transactions or through sales to one or more
underwriters or broker-dealers for resale.
Our
common stock is presently quoted on the OTC Pink tier of the OTC
Markets Group, Inc under the symbol “CRGE.” The closing
price for our common stock on November 24, 2021, as
reported by the OTC Pink was $3.41 per share. We have
applied to list of shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the
symbol “CRGE”. No
assurance can be given that our application will be approved or
that a trading market will develop.
We are
an “emerging growth company” as the term is used in the
Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 and, as such, have
elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting
requirements for this prospectus and future filings. Prior to our
acquisitions of both PTGi International Carrier Services Inc.
and GetCharged, Inc. in October 2020, we were a “shell
company” as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities
Act.
Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You
should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described
under the heading “Risk
Factors” beginning on
page 13 of this prospectus
before making a decision to purchase our
securities.
NEITHER THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION (“SEC”)
NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED OF
THESE SECURITIES OR PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS
PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL
OFFENSE.

SPECIAL NOTE
REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This
prospectus contains forward-looking statements. These
forward-looking statements contain information about our
expectations, beliefs or intentions regarding our product
development and commercialization efforts, business, financial
condition, results of operations, strategies or prospects, and
other similar matters. These forward-looking statements are based
on management’s current expectations and assumptions about
future events, which are inherently subject to uncertainties, risks
and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. These
statements may be identified by words such as
“expects,” “plans,” “projects,”
“will,” “may,” “anticipates,”
“believes,” “should,”
“intends,” “estimates,” and other words of
similar meaning.
These
statements relate to future events or our future operational or
financial performance, and involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results,
performance or achievements to be materially different from any
future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by
these forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause actual
results to differ materially from current expectations include,
among other things, those listed under the section titled
“Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus, in any
related prospectus supplement and in any related free writing
prospectus.
Any
forward-looking statement in this prospectus, in any related
prospectus supplement and in any related free writing prospectus
reflects our current view with respect to future events and is
subject to these and other risks, uncertainties and assumptions
relating to our business, results of operations, industry and
future growth. Given these uncertainties, you should not place
undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. No
forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future performance. You
should read this prospectus, any related prospectus supplement and
any related free writing prospectus and the documents that we
reference herein and therein and have filed as exhibits hereto and
thereto completely and with the understanding that our actual
future results may be materially different from any future results
expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Except as
required by law, we assume no obligation to update or revise these
forward-looking statements for any reason, even if new information
becomes available in the future.
This
prospectus, any related prospectus supplement and any related free
writing prospectus also contain or may contain estimates,
projections and other information concerning our industry, our
business and the markets for our products, including data regarding
the estimated size of those markets and their projected growth
rates. We obtained the industry and market data in this prospectus
from our own research as well as from industry and general
publications, surveys and studies conducted by third parties. This
data involves a number of assumptions and limitations and contains
projections and estimates of the future performance of the
industries in which we operate that are subject to a high degree of
uncertainty, including those discussed in “Risk
Factors.” We caution you not to give undue weight to such
projections, assumptions and estimates. Further, industry and
general publications, studies and surveys generally state that they
have been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, although
they do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of such
information. While we believe that these publications, studies and
surveys are reliable, we have not independently verified the data
contained in them. In addition, while we believe that the results
and estimates from our internal research are reliable, such results
and estimates have not been verified by any independent
source.
The following summary highlights information contained elsewhere in
this prospectus. This summary may not contain all of the
information that may be important to you. You should read this
entire prospectus carefully, including the sections entitled
“Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations” and the Company’s historical financial
statements and related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus.
In this prospectus, unless otherwise noted, the terms “the
Company,” “Charge,” “we,”
“us,” and “our” refer to Charge
Enterprises, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
Our Telecommunications Division
Our Telecommunications division (“Telecommunications”)
has provided termination of both voice and data to Carriers and
Mobile Network Operators (MNO's) globally for over two decades and
we will selectively add profitable products and services to this
long-established business.
Our Infrastructure Division
Our Infrastructure
division (“Infrastructure”) has a primary
focus on two fast growing sectors: electric vehicle
(“EV”) charging, and Telecommunications Network
5G, including cell tower, small cell, and in-building
applications. Solutions
for these two sectors include: Design and
Engineering, Equipment specification and
sourcing, Installation, Data & software solutions,
and Service and Maintenance.
Our Investment Division
Our Investment division (“Investment”) focuses on
opportunities related to our global portfolio to expand our
vision’s impact. We aim to invest in opportunities that would
complement our two operating divisions in addition to marketable
securities, including money markets funds and other listed
securities. Our Investment division provides services aimed at
offsetting the overall cost of capital.
We offer our Investment services through our wholly-owned
subsidiary, Charge Investments (“CI”).
Strategy
Our strategy over the next eighteen (18) months is to drive growth
with excellence and focus on leveraging and broadening our
Infrastructure Division without compromising quality, expertise,
integrity, and high levels of service. The strategy includes a
scaling of capabilities to provide seamless solutions and tackle
the opportunities that the Network (5G, small cell) communications
expansion are presenting and more recently, the electrification
revolution. Our Infrastructure Division goal is to implement
end-to-end solutions for customers needing to establish or
strengthen their footprint in the private, public, enterprise and
government sectors. Our infrastructure solutions are designed to
enhance connectivity, productivity, and reduce the cost of
operations, decrease greenhouse emissions, and improve the
efficiency of commercial operations for our
customers.
Through this, we plan to create jobs, installing, servicing, and
maintaining the EV infrastructure in immediate demand today and the
communications infrastructure on which we all rely. We will also
work to enhance our traditional communications product portfolio,
leveraging our global corporate presence in 19 countries. We intend
to do this though the following:
●
Leveraging
existing private and public sector relationships to organically
grow EV Charging (EVC) and 5G installations - as a hardware agnostic player in the EVC
infrastructure market, we tailor installations to the requirements
of each customer segment, creating personalized electric solutions
and affording Charge a significant competitive advantage over
competitors. These relationships include:
o
Auto
dealerships : Our
leadership team possess a wealth of automotive experience and
relationships to help dealers with short and long-term charging
solutions to meet growing customer demand. Our equipment agnostic
approach is designed to support all infrastructure channels in
meeting the varied requirements from original equipment
manufacturers (OEMs) while providing the best solution for the
dealer and their EV customers.
o
Fleet, commercial and
government entities :
Provide tailored charging solutions to improve Uptime and Total
Cost of Ownership (TCO), meet corporate sustainability commitments,
and provide employees with convenient charging solutions while at
work. Charge anticipates commercial opportunities to grow as OEMs
launch EV vans and trucks in 2022 and as fleets begin to transition
from internal combustion engines (ICE) to battery electric vehicles
(BEV).
o
Hotel
chains : The 55,000 hotel
locations across the US will need to install EV chargers to provide
overnight and fast charging, seamless solutions for their guests as
the US car park moves from ICE to BEV, becoming as necessary as
providing wi-fi to hotel guests.
o
Future targets
include :
■
Apartment and Office Complexes
●
Selective,
strategic, M&A : We continue to seek acquisition opportunities
that expand its scale and installation capacity, capabilities,
channel reach, and geographic reach within infrastructure
implementation for EVC and 5G networks. Our goal is to ensure its
installed ecosystem touches every aspect of infrastructure
including design, installation, monitoring and
maintenance.
●
Expand
reach and capacity across the United States and
Europe : We are focused on expanding geographic reach. Our
acquisition of Nextridge, Inc. has contributed to the growth as
well as potential future acquisitions and strategic
partnerships. .
●
Expand
technology-enabled solutions. We continue to research and develop mobile
application opportunities and tech enabled services designed to
enable a seamless offering that assists employees, contractors and
customers with a fluid, digital-first experience throughout EVC and
network infrastructures. This suite of technology will compliment
and add to our existing proprietary software and
apps.
●
Build a
world class team : We are continually investing in a team with world
class industry expertise, vision, and
professionalism.

infrastructure. Over time, Nextridge, through its wholly owned

initial conversion price of $3.00 per share, subject to certain beneficial
ownership limitations (with a maximum ownership limit of
9.99%). The conversion
price is also subject to adjustment due to certain events,
including stock dividends, stock splits and in connection with the
issuance by the Company of common stock or common stock
equivalents at an effective price per share lower than the
conversion price then in effect.
The
November 2020 Notes rank pari passu with the May 2020 Notes and
senior to all current and future indebtedness of the Company and
are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company. In
addition, some of the Company’s subsidiaries entered into a
subsidiary guaranty agreement and guaranteed the obligations owned
to the investors under the May 2021 Notes.
A Registration Rights Agreement was executed in connection with the
issuance of the May 2021 Notes. If we fail to have the registration
statement filed within 3 months of the closing date, delcared
effective within 6 months of the closing date or if we fail to
maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement until all
of such shares of common stock have been sold or are otherwise able
to be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, without any volume or manner of sale restrictions, then
the Company will be obligated to pay to the investors liquidated
damages equal to then, in addition to any other rights the Holders
may have hereunder or under applicable law, upon the occurrence of
any such event and on each monthly anniversary of thereafter until
the event is cured, the Company shall pay to the investors an
amount in cash equal to their pro rata portion of $75,000 per month
until such events are satisfied. The investors agreed to waive any
penalties that would be due and payable through January 31,
2022.
Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company
We qualify as an emerging growth company as defined in the
Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“JOBS
Act”). As an emerging growth company, we expect to take
advantage of reduced reporting requirements that are otherwise
applicable to public companies. These provisions include, but are
not limited to:
●
being permitted to present only two years of audited financial
statements, in addition to any required unaudited interim financial
statements, with correspondingly reduced "Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations"
disclosure in this prospectus;
●
not being required to comply with the auditor attestation
requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as
amended (“Sarbanes-Oxley”);
●
reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in
our periodic reports, proxy statements and registration 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 may use these provisions until the last day of our fiscal year
following the fifth anniversary of the completion of this offering.
However, if certain events occur prior to the end of such five-year
period, including if we become a “large accelerated
filer,” our annual gross revenues exceed $1.07 billion or we
issue more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt in any
three-year period, we will cease to be an emerging growth company
prior to the end of such five-year period.
The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take
advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new
or revised accounting standards. To the extent that we continue to
qualify as a “smaller reporting company,” as such term
is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
after we cease to qualify as an emerging growth company, certain of
the exemptions available to us as an emerging growth company may
continue to be available to us as a smaller reporting company,
including: (i) not being required to comply with the auditor
attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes Oxley
Act; (ii) scaled executive compensation disclosures; and (iii) the
requirement to provide only two years of audited financial
statements, instead of three years.
Risk Factors Summary
An
investment in our common shares involves a high degree of risk. You
should carefully consider the risks summarized below. The risks are
more fully discussed in the “Risk Factors” section of
this prospectus beginning on page 14.
●
We may
incur losses in the future.
●
We are
an early stage company of EV products and charging piles with a
limited operating history. Our limited operating history in the
industry may not provide an adequate basis to judge our future
prospects and results of operations for this segment, and may
increase the risk of your investment.
●
If we
fail to develop and introduce new models of EV and
telecommunication products in anticipation of market demand in a
timely and cost-effective manner, our competitive position and
ability to generate revenues may be materially and adversely
affected.
●
We have
experienced operating losses in the past.
●
We rely
on proprietary rights and intellectual property in conducting our
business, which may not be adequately protected under current laws,
and we may encounter disputes from time to time relating to our use
of intellectual property of third parties.
●
An
active trading market for our common stock may not develop, and you
may not be able to sell your common stock at or above the initial
public offering price.
●
Because
of their significant stock ownership, our executive officers,
directors, and principal stockholders will be able to exert control
over us and our significant corporate decisions.
●
Our
stock price may be volatile, and you could lose all or part of your
investment.
●
We do
not intend to pay cash dividends.
●
The
pandemic caused by COVID-19 could have a materially adverse impact
on our business, results of operations, financial condition and/or
cash flows. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic will
depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and
largely beyond our control.

May 2020 Financing
On May
8, 2020, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with the
May 2020 Investors pursuant to which we issued the May 2020 Notes.
In connection with the issuance of the Notes, we issued to
the Selling Stockholders warrants to purchase an aggregate of
7,600,000 shares of Common Stock (collectively, the
“Warrants”) and 7.5 shares of series G convertible
preferred stock (the “Series G Preferred
Stock”).
The May
2020 Notes each have a term of thirty-six months and
mature on May 8, 2023, unless earlier converted. The
May 2020 Notes accrue interest at a rate of 8% per annum, subject
to increase to 20% per annum upon and during the occurrence of an
event of default. Interest is payable in cash on a quarterly basis
beginning on June 30, 2020. The May 2020 Notes are convertible at
any time, at the holder’s option, into shares of our common
stock at an initial conversion price of $0.25 per share, subject to certain beneficial
ownership limitations (with a maximum ownership limit of
9.99%). The conversion
price is also subject to adjustment due to certain events,
including stock dividends, stock splits and in connection with the
issuance by the Company of common stock or common stock equivalents at an
effective price per share lower than the conversion price then in
effect. The Notes may be redeemed by the Company, in its
sole discretion, in an amount equal to 110% of the principal
amount, interest and any other amounts owed under the Notes,
subject to certain limitations.
Each
Warrant is exercisable for a period of three years
from the date of issuance at an initial exercise price of $0.50 per
share, subject to certain
beneficial ownership limitations (with a maximum ownership
limit of 9.99%). The
exercise price is also subject to adjustment due to certain events,
including stock dividends, stock splits and in connection with the
issuance by the Company of common stock or common stock equivalents at an
effective price per share lower than the exercise price then in
effect. The investors may exercise the Warrants on a
cashless basis if the shares of common stock underlying the
Warrants are not then registered pursuant to an effective
registration statement. In the event the Selling Shareholders
exercise the Warrants on a cashless basis, then we will not receive
any proceeds.
The
Series G Preferred Stock issued to the May 2020 Investors had no
voting rights and converted into shares of our common stock upon
consummation of the reverse stock split that was consummated on
October 6, 2020.
The May
2020 Notes rank pari passu with the November 2020 Notes and senior
to all current and future indebtedness of the Company and are
secured by substantially all of the assets of the
Company.
A
Registration Rights Agreement was executed in connection with the
issuance of the May 2020 Notes, the Warrants and the common stock
and the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part
is being filed to fulfill our obligations under such agreement.
If we fail to have it
declared effective by the SEC within 150 days following the date of
the financing, or if the Company fails to maintain the
effectiveness of the registration statement until all of such
shares of common stock have been sold or are otherwise able to be
sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, without any volume or manner of sale restrictions, then
the Company will be obligated to pay to the May 2020 Investors
liquidated damages equal to then, in addition to any other rights
the Holders may have hereunder or under applicable law, upon the
occurrence of any such event and on each monthly anniversary of
thereafter until the event is cured, the Company shall pay to the
Selling Stockholders an amount in cash equal to their pro rata
portion of $50,000, provided such amount shall increase by $25,000
on every thirty (30) day anniversary, until such events are
satisfied. The Selling Stockholders have agreed to waive any
penalties that are due and payable through January 31,
2022.
November 2020 Financing
On
November 3, 2020, we entered into a securities purchase agreement
with the November 2020 Investor pursuant to which we issued the
November 2020 Notes. In connection with the issuance of the
November 2020 Notes, we issued to the November 2020 Investors
903,226 shares of common stock.
The
November 2020 Notes each have a term of forty-eight
months and mature on November 3, 2024, unless earlier
converted. The November 2020 Notes accrue interest at a rate of 8%
per annum, subject to increase to 20% per annum upon and during the
occurrence of an event of default. Interest is payable in cash on a
quarterly basis beginning on December 31, 2020. The November 2020
Notes are convertible at any time, at the holder’s option,
into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion price of
$0.25 per share, subject to
certain beneficial ownership limitations (with a maximum
ownership limit of 9.99%).
The conversion price is also subject to adjustment due to certain
events, including stock dividends, stock splits and in connection
with the issuance by the Company of common stock or common stock
equivalents at an effective price per share lower than the
conversion price then in effect.
The
Notes may be redeemed by the Company, in its sole discretion, in an
amount equal to 110% of the principal amount, interest and any
other amounts owed under the Notes, subject to certain
limitations.
The
November 2020 Notes rank pari passu with the May 2020 Notes and
senior to all current and future indebtedness of the Company and
are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company. In
addition, some of the Company’s subsidiaries entered into a
subsidiary guaranty agreement and guaranteed the obligations owned
to the November 2020 Investor under the November 2020
Notes.
A
Registration Rights Agreement was executed in connection with the
issuance of the November 2020 Notes and the registration statement
of which this prospectus is a part is being filed to fulfill our
obligations under such agreement. If we fail to maintain the
effectiveness of the registration statement until all of such
shares of common stock have been sold or are otherwise able to be
sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, without any volume or manner of sale restrictions, then
the Company will be obligated to pay to the November 2020 Investors
liquidated damages equal to then, in addition to any other rights
the Holders may have hereunder or under applicable law, upon the
occurrence of any such event and on each monthly anniversary of
thereafter until the event is cured, the Company shall pay to the
Selling Stockholders an amount in cash equal to their pro rata
portion of $60,000, provided such amount shall increase by $30,000
on every thirty (30) day anniversary, until such events are
satisfied.
The Selling
Stockholders have no voting rights other than for the shares of
common stock which they may hold in the Company.

RISK
FACTORS
An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk.
This prospectus contains the risks applicable to an investment in
our securities. Prior to making a decision about investing in our
securities, you should carefully consider the specific factors
discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in this
prospectus. The risks and uncertainties we have described are not
the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not
presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also
affect our operations. The occurrence of any of these known or
unknown risks might cause you to lose all or part of your
investment in the offered securities.
Risks Related to Our Business
Our limited operating history may make it difficult for you to
evaluate the success of our business to date and to assess our
future viability.
We have
the vision of connecting people everywhere through our global
business portfolio with limited operating history. The relatively
short operating history makes it difficult to assess our future
performance with certainty. You should consider our business and
prospects in light of the risks and difficulties we may encounter
due to our limited operating history. Any predictions about our
future success or viability may not be as accurate as they could be
if we had a longer operating history.
In
addition, as a young business, we may encounter unforeseen
expenses, difficulties, complications, delays and other known and
unknown factors. Furthermore, some of these factors may be outside
our control and leave us with no ability to control or reduce the
chances that those risks will adversely impact our
business.
Our limited operating experience could make our operations
inefficient or ineffective.
We are an early-stage company with only a limited operating
history upon which to base an evaluation of our current business
and future prospects and how we will respond to competitive,
financial or technological challenges. We only recently acquired or
commenced each of the businesses that comprise our three lines of
business, and have limited experience with these activities
and the revenue and income potential of our business is unproven.
In addition, because of our limited operating history, we have
limited insight into trends that may emerge and affect our
business, and limited experience responding to such trends. We
may make errors in predicting and reacting to relevant business
trends and we will be subject to the risks, uncertainties and
difficulties frequently encountered by early-stage companies in
evolving markets. We may not be able to successfully address any or
all of these risks and uncertainties. Failure to adequately do so
could cause our business, results of operations and financial
condition to suffer or fail.
Widespread health developments, including the recent global
COVID-19 pandemic, could materially and adversely affect our
business, financial condition and results of
operations.
Our
business has been, and may continue to be, impacted by the fear of
exposure to or actual effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in countries
where we operate or our customers are located, such as
recommendations or mandates from governmental authorities to close
businesses, limit travel, avoid large gatherings or to
self-quarantine, as well as temporary closures or decreased
operations of the facilities of our customers, distributors or
suppliers. These impacts include, but are not limited
to:
|
●
|
Significant
reductions in demand or significant volatility in demand for one or
more of our products, which may be caused by, among other things:
the temporary inability of consumers to purchase our products due
to illness, quarantine or other restrictions, store or restaurant
closures, or financial hardship, shifts in demand away from one or
more of our higher priced products to lower priced products, or
stockpiling or similar activity, reduced options for marketing and
promotion of products or other restrictions in connection with the
COVID-19 pandemic; if prolonged, such impacts can further increase
the difficulty of operating our business, including accurately
planning and forecasting;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Inability
to meet our consumers' and customers' needs and achieve costs
targets due to disruptions in our manufacturing and supply
arrangements caused by the loss or disruption of essential
manufacturing and supply elements such as raw materials or
purchased finished goods, logistics, reduction or loss of workforce
due to the insufficiency or failure of our safety protocols, or
other manufacturing and supply capability;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Failure
of third parties on which we rely, including our suppliers,
distributors, contract manufacturers, contractors, commercial banks
and external business partners, to meet their obligations to us or
to timely meet those obligations, or significant disruptions in
their ability to do so, which may be caused by their own financial
or operational difficulties; or
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Significant
changes in the conditions in markets in which we manufacture, sell
or distribute our products, including quarantines, governmental or
regulatory actions, closures or other restrictions that limit or
close our operating and manufacturing facilities, restrict our
employees' ability to perform necessary business functions,
restrict or prevent consumers from having access to our products,
or otherwise prevent our distributors, partners, suppliers, or
customers from sufficiently staffing operations, including
operations necessary for the production, distribution, sale, and
support of our products.
|
All of
these impacts could place limitations on our ability to execute on
our business plan and materially and adversely affect our business,
financial condition and results of operations.
We are a holding company and our only material assets are its cash
in hand, equity interests in its operating subsidiaries and our
other investments. As a result, our principal source of revenue and
cash flow is distributions from its subsidiaries.
As a
holding company, our assets are its cash and cash equivalents, the
equity interests in its subsidiaries and other investments. Our
principal source of revenue comes from our Communications,
Infrastructure and Investment division operations. Thus, our
ability to manage our operations and finance future acquisitions,
is dependent on the ability of its subsidiaries to generate
sufficient net income and cash flows to make upstream cash
distributions to us. Our subsidiaries are separate legal entities,
and although they may be wholly-owned or controlled by us, they
have no obligation to make any funds available to us, whether in
the form of loans, dividends, distributions or otherwise. The
ability of our subsidiaries to distribute cash to it are and will
remain subject to, among other things, availability of sufficient
funds and applicable state laws and regulatory restrictions. Claims
of creditors of our subsidiaries generally will have priority as to
the assets of such subsidiaries over our claims and claims of our
creditors and stockholders. To the extent the ability of our
subsidiaries to distribute dividends or other payments to us could
be limited in any way, our ability to grow, pursue business
opportunities or make acquisitions that could be beneficial to our
businesses, or otherwise fund and conduct our business could be
materially limited.
To service our indebtedness and other obligations, we will require
a significant amount of cash.
Our
ability to generate cash depends on many factors beyond our control
and any failure to service our outstanding indebtedness could harm
our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our
ability to make payments on and to refinance our indebtedness and
to fund working capital needs and planned capital expenditures will
depend on our ability to generate cash in the future. This, to a
certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial,
competitive, business, legislative, regulatory and other factors
that are beyond our control. If our business does not generate
sufficient cash flow from operations or if future borrowings are
not available to us in an amount sufficient to enable us and our
subsidiaries to pay our indebtedness or to fund our other liquidity
needs, we may need to refinance all or a portion of our
indebtedness on or before the maturity thereof, sell assets, reduce
or delay capital investments or seek to raise additional capital,
any of which could have a material adverse effect on
us.
In
addition, we may not be able to effect any of these actions, if
necessary, on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Our ability
to restructure or refinance our indebtedness will depend on the
condition of the capital markets and our financial condition at
such time. Any refinancing of our debt could be at higher interest
rates and may require us to comply with more onerous covenants,
which could further restrict our business operations. The terms of
existing or future debt instruments or preferred stock may limit or
prevent us from taking any of these actions. In addition, any
failure to make scheduled payments of interest and principal on our
outstanding indebtedness or dividend payments on our outstanding
shares of preferred stock would likely result in a reduction of our
credit rating, which could harm our ability to incur additional
indebtedness or otherwise raise capital on commercially reasonable
terms or at all. Our inability to generate sufficient cash flow to
satisfy our debt service and other obligations, or to refinance or
restructure our obligations on commercially reasonable terms or at
all, would have an adverse effect, which could be material, on our
business, financial condition and results of
operations.
We have experienced significant historical, and may experience
significant future, operating losses and net losses, which may
hinder our ability to meet working capital requirements or service
our indebtedness, and we cannot assure you that we will generate
sufficient cash flow from operations to meet such requirements or
service our indebtedness.
We
cannot assure you that we will recognize net income in future
periods. If we cannot generate net income or sufficient operating
profitability, we may not be able to meet our working capital
requirements or service our indebtedness. Our ability to generate
sufficient cash for our operations will depend upon, among other
things, the future financial and operating performance of our
operating business, which will be affected by prevailing economic
and related industry conditions and financial, business, regulatory
and other factors, many of which are beyond our
control.
We
cannot assure you that our business will generate cash flow from
operations in an amount sufficient to fund our liquidity needs. If
our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient, we may be
forced to reduce or delay capital expenditures, sell assets and/or
seek additional capital or financings. Our ability to obtain future
financings will depend on the condition of the capital markets and
our financial condition at such time. Any financings could be at
high interest rates and may require us to comply with covenants in
addition to, or more restrictive than, covenants in our current
financing documents, which could further restrict our business
operations. In the absence of such operating results and resources,
we could face substantial liquidity problems and might be required
to dispose of material assets or operations to meet our
obligations. We may not be able to consummate those dispositions
for fair market value or at all. Furthermore, any proceeds that we
could realize from any such disposition may not be adequate to meet
our obligations.
If we are not able to deploy capital effectively and on acceptable
terms, we may not be able to execute our business
strategy.
Our
strategy includes effectively deploying capital by acquiring
interests in new companies. We may not be able to identify
attractive acquisition candidates that fit our strategy. Even if we
are able to identify acquisition candidates, we may not be able to
acquire interests in those companies due to an inability to reach
mutually acceptable financial or other terms with those companies
or due to competition from other potential acquirers that may have
greater resources, brand name recognition, industry contacts or
flexibility of structure than we do. The recent turmoil in the
global economy has caused significant declines and fluctuations in
the valuations of publicly-traded companies and privately-held
companies. Uncertainty regarding the extent to which valuations of
companies that fit our acquisition criteria will continue to
fluctuate may affect our ability to accurately value potential
acquisition candidates. Additionally, ongoing weak economic
conditions may make it more difficult for us to obtain capital
needed to deploy to new and existing partner companies. If we are
unable to effectively deploy capital to partner companies on
acceptable terms, we may not be able to execute on our strategy,
and our business may be adversely impacted.
We will need additional funding in the near future to continue our
current level of operations and growth.
As of the year ended December 31, 2020 we have an accumulated
deficit of $52,144,946 and a net loss of $34,642,641. Revenues
generated from our current operations are not sufficient to pay
on-going operating expenses. Prior to the acquisition of PTGi and
GetCharged, our working capital needs since our acquisition of
Transworld Enterprises, Inc., our wholly owned subsidiary, have
been primarily funded by securities sold to the Selling
Stockholders. We may continue to obtain additional funding from the
sale of our securities or from strategic transactions in order to
fund our current level of operations. Aside from continuing these
loan transactions, we have not identified the sources for
additional financing that we may require, and we do not have
commitments from third parties to continue to provide this
financing. Being a micro-cap stock, certain investors may be
unwilling to invest in our securities. There is no assurance that
sufficient funding through a financing will be available to us at
acceptable terms or at all. Historically, we have raised capital
through the issuance of convertible debt securities or straight
equity securities. However, given the risks associated with our
business, the risks associated with our common stock, the worldwide
financial uncertainty that has affected the capital markets, and
our status as a small, unknown public company, we expect in the
near future, we will have a great deal of difficulty raising
capital through traditional financing sources. Therefore, we cannot
guarantee that we will be able to raise capital, or if we are able
to raise capital, that such capital will be in the amounts needed.
Our failure to raise capital, when needed, and in sufficient
amounts, will severely impact our ability to continue to develop
our business as planned. In addition, if we are unable to obtain
funding as, and when needed, we may have to further reduce and/or
cease our future operations. Any additional funding that we obtain
in an equity or convertible debt financing is likely to reduce the
percentage ownership of the company held by our existing security
holders.
We have had operating losses since formation and expect to continue
to incur net losses for the near term.
Prior
to our acquisitions of PTGi and GetCharged, we had a working
capital deficit and our revenues were not sufficient to fund our
anticipated operating needs. We have reported net losses of
$36,893,674, $34,642,641 and $292,416 for the
nine months ended September 30, 2021 and
the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. In order
to achieve profitable operations, we need to significantly increase
our revenues from the sales of products. We cannot be certain that
our business will ever be successful or that we will generate
significant revenues and become profitable. As a result, an
investment in our company is highly speculative and no assurance
can be given that our business model will be successful and,
therefore, that our stockholders will realize any return on their
investment or that they will not lose their entire
investment.
Our current sources of funding are limited, and any additional
funding that we may obtain may be on unfavorable terms and may
significantly dilute our existing shareholders.
We
believe our acquisitions of PTGi and GetCharged will increase our
profitability and contribute toward funding operating expenses but
we can provide no assurance of this. As a result, if operations are
not sufficient to fund our operations going forward, we will have
to obtain additional public or private equity financings or debt
financings in order to continue our operations. Any additional
funding that we obtain in a financing is likely to reduce the
percentage ownership of our existing holders. The amount of this
dilution may be substantial based on our current stock price, and
could increase if the trading price of our common stock declines at
the time of any financing from its current levels. To the extent we
raise additional capital by issuing equity securities, our
stockholders will experience further dilution. If we raise funds
through debt financings, we may become subject to restrictive
covenants. We may also attempt to raise funds through corporate
collaboration and licensing arrangements. To the extent that we
raise additional funds through such means, we may be required to
relinquish some rights to our technologies or products, or grant
licenses on terms that are not favorable to us. There can be no
assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms
acceptable to us, if at all. If we are unable to obtain the needed
additional funding, we will have to reduce or even totally
discontinue our operations, which would have a significant negative
impact on our stockholders and could result in a total loss of
their investment in our stock.
Funding,
especially on terms acceptable to us, may not be available to meet
our future capital needs because of the state of the credit and
capital markets. Global market and economic conditions have been,
and continue to be, disruptive and volatile. The cost of raising
money in the debt and equity capital markets for smaller companies
like ours has increased substantially while the availability of
funds from those markets has diminished significantly. Also, low
valuations and decreased appetite for equity investments, among
other factors, may make the equity markets difficult to access on
acceptable terms or unavailable altogether.
If
adequate funds are not available, we may be required to delay,
scale-back or eliminate our product enhancement and new product
development programs. There can be no assurance that additional
financing will be available on acceptable terms or at all, if and
when required.
Our success is dependent on having
the experience to operate our business
divisions.
Our
success depends substantially on the experience of certain key
officers and personnel. Although all of them have substantial
experience in relevant areas, there can be no assurance that their
prior experience will be beneficial to us. Moreover, our future
success depends in part on our ability to retain and attract highly
skilled and qualified technical and creative consultants.
Competition for such individuals is intense and the availability of
such skilled persons is limited in some cases. The loss of services
of any of our officers or other key consultants could have a
material adverse effect on our business, results of operations,
financial condition and prospects. The loss of any of our key
personnel or our inability to attract and retain key employees in
the future could have a material adverse effect on our operations
and business plans.
The nature of our business is speculative and dependent on a number
of variables beyond our control that cannot be reliably ascertained
in advance.
The
revenues and profits of an enterprise like ours are generally
dependent upon many variables. Our customer appeal depends upon
factors which cannot be reliably ascertained in advance and over
which we have no control, such as unpredictable customer and media
reviews, industry analyst commentaries, and comparisons to
competitive products. As with any relatively new business
enterprise operating in a specialized and intensely competitive
market, we are subject to many business risks which include, but
are not limited to, unforeseen marketing difficulties, excessive
research and development expenses, unforeseen negative publicity,
competition, product liability issues, manufacturing and logistical
difficulties, and lack of operating experience. Many of the risks
may be unforeseeable or beyond our control. There can be no
assurance that we will successfully implement our business plan in
a timely or effective manner, that we will be able to generate
sufficient interest in our products, or that we will be able to
market and sell enough products and services to generate sufficient
revenues to continue as a going concern.
Our markets are highly competitive, and our failure to compete
successfully would limit our ability to sell our products, attract
and retain customers and grow our business.
Our
markets are highly competitive, and we expect that both direct and
indirect competition will increase in the future. Within each of
our markets, we encounter direct competition from various larger
U.S. and non-U.S. competitors. The adoption of new technology
likely will intensify the competition for our products. Due to the
rapidly evolving markets in which we compete, additional
competitors with significant market presence and financial
resources may enter those markets, thereby further intensifying
competition, adversely affecting our sales, and adversely affecting
our business and prospects.
We may not be successful in developing our new products and
services.
The
market for our products and services is characterized by rapid
technological change, changing customer needs, frequent new product
introductions and evolving industry standards. These market
characteristics are exacerbated by the emerging nature of this
market and the fact that many companies are expected to continually
introduce new and innovative products and services. Our success
will depend partially on our ability to introduce new products,
services and technologies continually and on a timely basis and to
continue to improve the performance, features and reliability of
our products and services in response to both evolving demands of
prospective customers and competitive products. There can be no
assurance that any of our new or proposed products or services will
maintain the limited market acceptance that we have to date
established. Our failure to design, develop, test, market and
introduce new and enhanced products, technologies and services
successfully so as to achieve market acceptance could have a
material adverse effect upon our business, operating results and
financial condition.
There
can be no assurance that we will not experience difficulties that
could delay or prevent the successful development, introduction or
marketing of new or enhanced products and services, or that our new
products and services will adequately satisfy the requirements of
prospective customers and achieve significant acceptance by those
customers. Because of certain market characteristics, including
technological change, changing customer needs, frequent new product
and service introductions and evolving industry standards, the
continued introduction of new products and services is critical.
Delays in the introduction of new products and services may result
in customer dissatisfaction and may delay or cause a loss of
revenue. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in
developing new products or services or improving existing products
and services that respond to technological changes or evolving
industry standards.
In
addition, new or enhanced products and services introduced by us
may contain undetected errors that require significant design
modifications. This could result in a loss of customer confidence
which could adversely affect the use of our products, which in
turn, could have a material adverse effect upon our business,
results of operations or financial condition.
We cannot accurately predict our future revenues and
expenses.
We are
currently developing various sources of revenues based on market
conditions and the type of products that we are marketing. As such,
the amount of revenues we receive from the sale and use of our
products will fluctuate and depend upon our customer’s
willingness to buy our products. As with any developing enterprise
operating in a specialized and intensely competitive market, we are
subject to many business risks which include, but are not limited
to, unforeseen negative publicity, competition, product liability
and lack of operating experience. Many of the risks may be
unforeseeable or beyond our control. There can be no assurance that
we will successfully implement our business plan in a timely
manner, or generate sufficient interest in our products or
services, or that we will be able to market and sell enough
products and services to generate sufficient revenues to continue
as a going concern.
Our
expense levels in the future will be based, in large part, on our
expectations regarding future revenue, and as a result net
income/loss for any quarterly period in which material orders are
delayed could vary significantly. In addition, our costs and
expenses may vary from period to period because of a variety of
factors, including our research and development costs, our
introduction of new products and services, cost increases from
third-party service providers or product manufacturers, production
interruptions, changes in marketing and sales expenditures, and
competitive pricing pressures.
There are risks of international sales and operations.
We
anticipate that a growing, and potentially substantial portion of
our future revenue from the sale of our products and services may
be derived from customers located outside the United States. As
such, a portion of our sales and operations could be subject to
tariffs and other import-export barriers, currency exchange risks
and exchange controls, foreign product standards, potentially
adverse tax consequences, longer payment cycles, problems in
collecting accounts receivable, political instability, and
difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations. Although
we intend to monitor our exposure to currency fluctuations and
currently the U.S. dollar is very strong giving us a significant
buying advantage, there can be no assurance that exchange rate
fluctuations will not have an adverse effect on our results of
operations or financial condition. In the future, we could be
required to sell our products and services in other currencies,
which would make the management of currency fluctuations more
difficult and expose our business to greater risks in this
regard.
Our
products may be subject to numerous foreign government standards
and regulations that are continually being amended. Although we
will endeavor to satisfy foreign technical and regulatory
standards, there can be no assurance that we will be able to comply
with foreign government standards and regulations, or changes
thereto, or that it will be cost effective for us to redesign our
products to comply with such standards or regulations. Our
inability to design or redesign products to comply with foreign
standards could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations.
Any of
the foregoing factors could have a material adverse effect on our
business, results of operations, and financial
condition.
Because we face significant competition for acquisition and
business opportunities, including from numerous companies with a
business plan similar to ours, it may be difficult for us to fully
execute our business strategy. Additionally, our subsidiaries also
operate in highly competitive industries, limiting their ability to
gain or maintain their positions in their respective
industries.
We
expect to encounter intense competition for acquisition and
business opportunities from both strategic investors and other
entities having a business objective similar to ours, such as
private investors (which may be individuals or investment
partnerships), blank check companies, and other entities, domestic
and international, competing for the type of businesses that we may
acquire. Many of these competitors possess greater technical, human
and other resources, or more local industry knowledge, or greater
access to capital, than we do, and our financial resources may be
relatively limited when contrasted with those of many of these
competitors. These factors may place us at a competitive
disadvantage in successfully completing future acquisitions and
investments.
In
addition, while we believe that there are numerous target
businesses that we could potentially acquire or invest in, our
ability to compete with respect to the acquisition of certain
target businesses that are sizable will be limited by our available
financial resources. We may need to obtain additional financing in
order to consummate future acquisitions and investment
opportunities and cannot assure you that any additional financing
will be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all, or that the
terms of our existing financing arrangements will not limit our
ability to do so. This inherent competitive limitation gives others
an advantage in pursuing acquisition and investment
opportunities.
Future acquisitions or business opportunities could involve unknown
risks that could harm our business and adversely affect our
financial condition and results of operations.
We are
a diversified holding company that owns interests in a number of
different businesses. We have in the past, and intend in the
future, to acquire businesses or make investments, directly or
indirectly through our subsidiaries, that involve unknown risks,
some of which will be particular to the industry in which the
investment or acquisition targets operate, including risks in
industries with which we are not familiar or experienced. There can
be no assurance our due diligence investigations will identify
every matter that could have a material adverse effect on us or the
entities that we may acquire. We may be unable to adequately
address the financial, legal and operational risks raised by such
investments or acquisitions, especially if we are unfamiliar with
the relevant industry, which can lead to significant losses on
material investments. The realization of any unknown risks could
expose us to unanticipated costs and liabilities and prevent or
limit us from realizing the projected benefits of the investments
or acquisitions, which could adversely affect our financial
condition and liquidity. In addition, our financial condition,
results of operations and the ability to service our debt may be
adversely impacted depending on the specific risks applicable to
any business we invest in or acquire and our ability to address
those risks.
If we fail to develop and maintain an effective system of internal
controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial
results or prevent fraud. As a result, our current and potential
stockholders could lose confidence in our financial reports, which
could harm our business and the trading price of our common
stock.
Effective
internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable
financial reports and effectively prevent fraud. Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires us to evaluate and report on
our internal controls over financial reporting and, depending on
our future growth, may require our independent registered public
accounting firm to annually attest to our evaluation, as well as
issue their own opinion on our internal controls over financial
reporting. The process of implementing and maintaining proper
internal controls and complying with Section 404 is expensive and
time consuming. We cannot be certain that the measures we will
undertake will ensure that we will maintain adequate controls over
our financial processes and reporting in the future. Furthermore,
if we are able to rapidly grow our business, the internal controls
that we will need will become more complex, and significantly more
resources will be required to ensure our internal controls remain
effective. Failure to implement required controls, or difficulties
encountered in their implementation, could harm our operating
results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations. If
we or our auditors discover a material weakness in our internal
controls, the disclosure of that fact, even if the weakness is
quickly remedied, could diminish investors’ confidence in our
financial statements and harm our stock price. In addition,
non-compliance with Section 404 could subject us to a variety of
administrative sanctions, including the suspension of trading,
ineligibility for future listing on one of the Nasdaq Stock Markets
or national securities exchanges, and the inability of registered
broker-dealers to make a market in our common stock, which may
reduce our stock price.
Our ability to compete could be jeopardized and our business
seriously compromised if we are unable to protect ourselves from
third-party challenges or infringement of the proprietary aspects
of the wireless location products and technology we
develop.
Our
products utilize a variety of proprietary rights that are critical
to our competitive position. Because the technology and
intellectual property associated with our products are evolving and
rapidly changing, our current intellectual property rights may not
adequately protect us in the future. We rely on a combination of
patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws and contractual
restrictions to protect the intellectual property utilized in our
products. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights,
unauthorized parties may attempt to copy or otherwise obtain and
use our products or technology. In addition, monitoring
unauthorized use of our products is difficult and we cannot be
certain the steps we have taken will prevent unauthorized use of
our technology. Also, it is possible that no additional patents or
trademarks will be issued from our currently pending or future
patent or trademark applications. Because legal standards relating
to the validity, enforceability and scope of protection of patent
and intellectual property rights are uncertain and still evolving,
the future viability or value of our intellectual property rights
is uncertain. Moreover, effective patent, trademark, copyright and
trade secret protection may not be available in some countries in
which we distribute or anticipate distributing our products.
Furthermore, our competitors may independently develop similar
technologies that limit the value of our intellectual property,
design or patents. In addition, third parties may at some point
claim certain aspects of our business infringe their intellectual
property rights. While we are not currently subject to nor aware of
any such claim, any future claim (with or without merit) could
result in one or more of the following:
● significant litigation
costs;
|
● diversion of resources, including the
attention of management;
|
● our agreement to pay certain royalty
and/or licensing fees;
|
● cause us to redesign those products
that use such technology; or
|
● cessation of our rights to use,
market, or distribute such technology.
|
Any of
these developments could materially and adversely affect our
business, results of operations and financial condition. In the
future, we may also need to file lawsuits to enforce our
intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets, or to
determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of
others. Whether successful or unsuccessful, such litigation could
result in substantial costs and diversion of resources. Such costs
and diversion could materially and adversely affect our business,
results of operations and financial condition.
We depend on our key personnel to manage our business effectively
in a rapidly changing market. If we are unable to retain our key
employees, our business, financial condition and results of
operations could be harmed.
Our
future success depends to a significant degree on the skills,
efforts and continued services of our executive officers and other
key engineering, manufacturing, operations, sales, marketing and
support personnel. If we were to lose the services of one or more
of our key executive officers or other key engineering,
manufacturing, operations, sales, marketing and support personnel,
we may not be able to grow our business as we expect, and our
ability to compete could be harmed, adversely affecting our
business and prospects.
Rapid technological change in our market and/or changes in customer
requirements could cause our products to become obsolete or require
us to redesign our products, which would have a material adverse
effect on our business, operating results and financial
condition.
The
market for our products is characterized by rapid technological
change, frequent new product introductions and enhancements,
uncertain product life cycles, changing customer demands and
evolving industry standards, any of which can render existing
products obsolete. We believe that our future success will depend
in large part on our ability to develop new and effective products
in a timely manner and on a cost-effective basis. As a result of
the complexities inherent in our products, major new products and
product enhancements can require long development and testing
periods, which may result in significant delays in the general
availability of new releases or significant problems in the
implementation of new releases. In addition, if we or our
competitors announce or introduce new products our current or
future customers may defer or cancel purchases of our products,
which could materially adversely affect our business, operating
results and financial condition. Our failure to develop
successfully, on a timely and cost effective basis, new products or
new product enhancements that respond to technological change,
evolving industry standards or customer requirements would have a
material adverse effect on our business, operating results and
financial condition.
We may suffer adverse consequences if we are deemed an investment
company and we may incur significant costs to avoid investment
company status.
We
believe we are not an investment company as defined by the
Investment Company Act of 1940, and have operated our business in
accordance with such view. If the SEC or a court were to disagree
with us, we could be required to register as an investment company.
This would subject us to disclosure and accounting rules geared
toward investment, rather than operating, companies; limit our
ability to borrow money, issue options, issue multiple classes of
stock and debt, and engage in transactions with affiliates; and
require us to undertake significant costs and expenses to meet the
disclosure and other regulatory requirements to which we would be
subject as a registered investment company.
Future acquisitions or strategic investments may not be successful
and may harm our operating results.
Future
acquisitions or strategic investments could have a material adverse
effect on our business and operating results because
of:
|
●
|
The
assumption of unknown liabilities, including employee obligations.
Although we normally conduct extensive legal and accounting due
diligence in connection with our acquisitions, there are many
liabilities that cannot be discovered, and which liabilities could
be material.
|
|
●
|
We may
become subject to significant expenses related to bringing the
financial, accounting and internal control procedures of the
acquired business into compliance with U.S. GAAP financial
accounting standards and the Sarbanes Oxley Act of
2002.
|
|
●
|
Our
operating results could be impaired as a result of restructuring or
impairment charges related to amortization expenses associated with
intangible assets.
|
|
●
|
We
could experience significant difficulties in successfully
integrating any acquired operations, technologies, customers’
products and businesses with our existing operations.
|
|
●
|
Future
acquisitions could divert substantial capital and our
management’s attention.
|
|
●
|
We may
not be able to hire the key employees necessary to manage or staff
the acquired enterprise operations.
|
Our executive officers and directors have the ability to
significantly influence matters submitted to our stockholders for
approval.
As of
November 14, 2021, our executive officers and
directors, in the aggregate, beneficially own shares representing
approximately 23.56% of our common stock. Beneficial
ownership includes shares over which an individual or entity has
investment or voting power and includes shares that could be issued
upon the exercise of options and warrants within 60 days after the
date of determination. On matters submitted to our stockholders for
approval, holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per
share. If our executive officers and directors choose to act
together, they would have significant influence over all matters
submitted to our stockholders for approval, as well as our
management and affairs. For example, these individuals, if they
chose to act together, would have significant influence on the
election of directors and approval of any merger, consolidation or
sale of all or substantially all of our assets. This concentration
of voting power could delay or prevent an acquisition of our
company on terms that other stockholders may desire.
Failure to manage growth effectively could adversely affect our
business, results of operations and financial
condition.
The
success of our future operating activities will depend upon our
ability to expand our support system to meet the demands of our
growing business. Any failure by our management to effectively
anticipate, implement, and manage changes required to sustain our
growth would have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition, and results of operations. We cannot assure
you that we will be able to successfully operate acquired
businesses, become profitable in the future, or effectively manage
any other change.
Subsequent to consummation of any acquisition, we may be required
to take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring and impairment or
other charges that could have a significant negative effect on our
financial condition, results of operations and our stock price,
which could cause you to lose some or all of your
investment.
Even if
we conduct extensive due diligence on a target business with which
we acquire, we cannot assure you that this examination will uncover
all material risks that may be presented by a particular target
business, or that factors outside of the target business and
outside of our control will not later arise. Even if our due
diligence successfully identifies the principal risks, unexpected
risks may arise and previously known risks may materialize in a
manner not consistent with our preliminary risk analysis. As a
result, from time to time we may be forced to write-down or
write-off assets, restructure our operations, or incur impairment
or other charges that could result in our reporting losses. Even
though these charges may be non-cash items and not have an
immediate impact on our liquidity, the fact that we report charges
of this nature could contribute to negative market perceptions
about us or our securities. In addition, charges of this nature may
cause us to violate net worth or other covenants to which we may be
subject as a result of assuming pre-existing debt held by a target
business or by virtue of our obtaining post-combination debt
financing.
Changes in laws or regulations, or a failure to comply with any
laws and regulations, may adversely affect our business,
investments and results of operations.
We are
subject to laws and regulations enacted by national, regional and
local governments, including in particular, reporting and other
requirements under the Exchange Act. Compliance with, and
monitoring of, applicable laws and regulations may be difficult,
time consuming and costly. Those laws and regulations and their
interpretation and application may also change from time to time
and those changes could have a material adverse effect on our
business, investments and results of operations. In addition, a
failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations, as
interpreted and applied, could result in fines, injunctive relief
or similar remedies which could be costly to us or limit our
ability to complete an initial business combination or operate the
post-combination company successfully.
Risks Related To The Notes
Our obligations to the holders of our Notes are secured by a
security interest in substantially all of our assets, so if we
default on those obligations, the note holders could foreclose on
our assets.
Our obligations under the
Notes are secured by a security interest in substantially all of
our assets. As a result, if we default in our obligations under the
Notes, the holders of the notes, acting through their appointed
agent, could foreclose on their security interests and liquidate
some or all of these assets, which would harm our business,
financial condition and results of operations and could require us
to curtail or cease operations.
If the holders of our Notes elect to convert the principal and
interest due under the Notes, our stockholders will experience
substantial dilution in their investment.
The
total remaining principal amount we owe to the holders of our Notes
is approximately $6.9 million. If the holders of these Notes were
to elect to convert all of the principal amount (and assuming no
interest has accrued on the principal amount) into shares of our
common stock at the Conversion Price of $0.25, we would be required
to issue approximately 27.5 million shares. These conversions would
result in significant dilution to the investments of our existing
stockholders.
The terms of our security agreement and other debt documents
restrict our current and future operations, which could adversely
affect our ability to respond to changes in our business and to
manage our operations.
Our
security agreement and other debt documents issued under the
private placement contain a number of restrictive covenants that
impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us,
including restrictions on our ability to, among other
things:
|
●
|
incur
additional debt;
|
|
●
|
pay
dividends and make other restricted payments;
|
|
●
|
create
liens; or
|
|
●
|
sell
our collateral, other than inventory in the ordinary course of
business.
|
If the
holders of our Notes accelerate our indebtedness, our assets would
not be sufficient to repay this indebtedness in full and the
creditor would be permitted to exercise broad secured creditor
remedies.
We may be required to pay registration default liquidated damages
if we cannot fulfill the requirements of the registration rights
granted to investors in our February 2020 private
placement.
We were required to have a
registration statement covering the shares of common stock
underlying the Notes and Warrants issued to the investors in our
May 2020 private placement declared effective by the SEC on or
before October 5, 2020. The holders of our Notes issued in our May
2020 private placement agreed to waive (i) any liquidated
damages payable as a result of the failure to have a registration
statement declared effective by October 5, 2020 and continuing for
the period through and until June 30, 2021. In connection with this
offering, we are registering such shares of common stock for resale
in order to satisfy such obligation. In the event we do not
get this registration statement effective or the effectiveness of
such registration statement is suspended at any time other than
pursuant to a suspension notice, for each month during which the
registration default remains uncured, we could be required to pay
registration default damages at the rate of $50,000 and on every
thirtieth (30th) day (prorated for periods totaling less than
thirty days) thereafter, provided such amount shall increase by
$25,000 on every thirty (30) day anniversary. We shall be
obligated to make payments of these liquidated damages until the
earlier of (i) the date as of which all of the investors in
our May 2020 private placement may sell all of the shares of common
stock required to be covered by such registration statement without
restriction pursuant to Rule 144 and without the need for current
public information as required thereunder or (ii) the date on
which the investors in our May 2020 private placement shall have
sold all of the shares of common stock covered by such registration
statement. Any payment of liquidated damages could have an
adverse effect on our results of operations and may have a negative
effect on our stock price and the market for our common
stock.
Risks Related to our Communications Division
Our Communications business is substantially smaller than some of
our major competitors, whose marketing and pricing decisions, and
relative size advantage could adversely affect our ability to
attract and to retain customers. These major competitors are likely
to continue to cause significant pricing pressures that could
adversely affect PTGi’s net revenues, results of operations
and financial condition.
The
carrier services telecommunications industry is significantly
influenced by the marketing and pricing decisions of the larger
business participants. The rapid development of new technologies,
services and products has eliminated many of the traditional
distinctions among wireless, cable, internet, local
and long distance communication services. We face many competitors
in this market, including telephone companies, cable companies,
wireless service providers, satellite providers, application and
device providers. PTGi faces competition for its voice trading
services from telecommunication services providers’
traditional processes and new companies. Once telecommunication
services providers have established business relationships with
competitors to PTGi, it could be extremely difficult to convince
them to utilize our services. These competitors may be able to
develop services or processes that are superior to PTGi’s
services or processes, or that achieve greater industry
acceptance.
Many of
our competitors are significantly larger than us and have
substantially greater financial, technical and marketing resources,
larger networks, a broader portfolio of service offerings, greater
control over network and transmission lines, stronger name
recognition and customer loyalty and long-standing relationships
with our target customers. As a result, our ability to attract and
retain customers may be adversely affected. Many of our competitors
enjoy economies of scale that result in low cost structures for
transmission and related costs that could cause significant pricing
pressures within the industry.
Our
ability to compete effectively will depend on, among other things,
our network quality, capacity and coverage, the pricing of our
products and services, the quality of our customer service, our
development of new and enhanced products and services, the reach
and quality of our sales and distribution channels and our capital
resources. It will also depend on how successfully we anticipate
and respond to various factors affecting our industry, including
new technologies and business models, changes in consumer
preferences and demand for existing services, demographic trends
and economic conditions. While growth through acquisitions is a
possible strategy for PTGi, there are no guarantees that any
acquisitions will occur, nor are there any assurances that any
acquisitions by PTGi would improve the financial results of its
business. If we are not able to respond successfully to these
competitive challenges, we could experience reduced
revenues.
PTGi suppliers may not be able to obtain credit insurance on PTGi,
which could have a material adverse effect on PTGi’s
business.
PTGi
makes purchases from its suppliers, who may rely on the ability to
obtain credit insurance on PTGi in determining whether or not to
extend short-term credit to PTGi in the form of accounts
receivables. To the extent that these suppliers are unable to
obtain such insurance they may be unwilling to extend
credit.
Any failure of PTGi’s physical infrastructure, including
undetected defects in technology, could lead to significant costs
and disruptions that could reduce its revenue and harm its business
reputation and financial results.
PTGi
depends on providing customers with highly reliable service. PTGi
must protect its infrastructure and any collocated equipment from
numerous factors, including:
●
|
human
error;
|
●
|
physical
or electronic security breaches;
|
●
|
fire,
earthquake, flood and other natural disasters;
|
●
|
water
damage;
|
●
|
power
loss; and
|
●
|
terrorism,
sabotage and vandalism.
|
Problems
at one or more of PTGi’s exchange delivery points, whether or
not within PTGi’s control, could result in service
interruptions or significant equipment damage. Any loss of
services, equipment damage or inability to terminate voice calls or
supply internet capacity could reduce the confidence
of the members and customers and could consequently impair
PTGi’s ability to obtain and retain customers,
which would adversely affect both PTGi’s ability to generate
revenues and its operating results.
PTGi’s positioning in the marketplace and intense domestic
and international competition in these services places a
significant strain on our resources, which if not managed
effectively could result in operational inefficiencies and other
difficulties.
To
manage PTGi’s market positioning effectively, we must
continue to implement and improve its operational and financial
systems and controls, invest in critical network infrastructure to
expand its coverage and capacity, maintain or improve its service
quality levels, purchase and utilize other transmission facilities,
evolve its support and billing systems and train and manage its
employee base. If we inaccurately forecast the movement of traffic
onto PTGi’s network, we could have insufficient or excessive
transmission facilities and disproportionate fixed expenses. As we
proceed with the development of our PTGi business, operational
difficulties could arise from additional demand placed on customer
provisioning and support, billing and management information
systems, product delivery and fulfillment, support, sales and
marketing, administrative resources, network infrastructure,
maintenance and upgrading. For instance, we may encounter delays or
cost-overruns or suffer other adverse consequences in implementing
new systems when required.
If PTGi is not able to operate a cost-effective network, we may not
be able to operate our PTGi business successfully.
Our
business’s success depends on our ability to design,
implement, operate, manage, maintain and upgrade a reliable and
cost-effective network infrastructure. In addition, we rely on
third-party equipment and service vendors manage PTGi’s
global network through which it provides its services. If we fail
to generate traffic on PTGi’s network, if we experience
technical or logistical impediments to the development of necessary
aspects of PTGi’s network or the migration of traffic and
customers onto PTGi’s network, or if we experience
difficulties with third-party providers, we may not achieve desired
economies of scale or otherwise be successful in our
business.
Our telecommunications network infrastructure has several
vulnerabilities and limitations.
Our
telecommunications network is the source of most of PTGi’s
revenues and any damages to or loss of our equipment or any problem
with or limitation of PTGi’s network whether accidental or
otherwise, including network, hardware and software failures may
result in a reduction in the number of our customers or usage level
by our customers, our inability to attract new customers or
increased maintenance costs, all of which would have a negative
impact on our results of operations. The development and operation
of our network is subject to problems and technological risks,
including:
●
|
physical
damage;
|
●
|
power
surges or outages;
|
●
|
capacity
limitations;
|
●
|
software
defects as well as hardware and software obsolescence;
|
●
|
breaches
of security, whether by computer virus, break-in or otherwise;
|
●
|
denial
of access to our sites for failure to obtain required municipal or
other regulatory approvals; and
|
●
|
other
factors which may cause interruptions in service or reduced
capacity for our customers.
|
Our
operations also rely on a stable supply of utilities service. We
cannot assure you that future supply instability will not impair
our ability to procure required utility services in the future,
which could adversely impact our business, financial condition and
results of operations.
Changes in the regulatory framework under which PTGi operates could
adversely affect our business prospects or results of
operations.
PTGi’s
domestic operations are subject to regulation by federal and state
agencies, and our international operations are regulated by various
foreign governments and international bodies. These regulatory
regimes may restrict or impose conditions on our ability to operate
in designated areas and to provide specified products or services.
We are frequently required to maintain licenses for our operations
and conduct our operations in accordance with prescribed standards.
We are from time to time involved in regulatory and other
governmental proceedings or inquiries related to the application of
these requirements. It is impossible to predict with any certainty
the outcome of pending federal and state regulatory proceedings
relating to our operations, or the reviews by federal or state
courts of regulatory rulings. Moreover, new laws or regulations or
changes to the existing regulatory framework could affect how we
manage our wireline and wireless networks, impose additional costs,
impair revenue opportunities, and potentially impede our ability to
provide services in a manner that would be attractive to us and our
customers.
Service interruptions due to natural disasters or unanticipated
problems with our network infrastructure could result in customer
loss.
Natural
disasters or unanticipated problems with our network infrastructure
could cause interruptions in the services we provide. The failure
of a switch and our back-up system would result in the interruption
of service to the customers served by that switch until necessary
repairs are completed or replacement equipment is installed. The
successful operation of our network and its components is highly
dependent upon our ability to maintain the network and its
components in reliable enough working order to provide sufficient
quality of service to attract and maintain customers. Any damage or
failure that causes interruptions in our operations or lack of
adequate maintenance of our network could result in the loss of
customers and increased maintenance costs that would adversely
impact our results of operations and financial
condition.
We have
backup data for our key information and data processing systems
that could be used in the event of a catastrophe or a failure of
our primary systems, and have established alternative communication
networks where available. However, we cannot assure you that our
business activities would not be materially disrupted if there were
a partial or complete failure of any of these primary information
technology systems or communication networks. Such failures could
be caused by, among other things, software bugs, computer virus
attacks or conversion errors due to system upgrading. In addition,
any security breach caused by unauthorized access to information or
systems, or intentional malfunctions or loss or corruption of data,
software, hardware or other computer equipment, could have a
material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and
financial condition.
Our insurance coverage may not adequately cover losses resulting
from the risks for which we are insured.
We
maintain insurance policies for our network facilities and all of
our corporate assets. This insurance coverage protects us in the
event we suffer losses resulting from theft, fraud, natural
disasters or other similar events or from business interruptions
caused by such events. In addition, we maintain insurance policies
for our directors and officers. We cannot assure you however, that
such insurance will be sufficient or will adequately cover
potential losses.
We could be adversely affected if major suppliers fail to provide
needed equipment and services on a timely or cost-efficient basis
or are unwilling to provide us credit on favorable terms or at
all.
We rely
on a few strategic suppliers and vendors to provide us with
equipment, materials and services that we need in order to expand
and to operate our business. There are a limited number of
suppliers with the capability of providing the network equipment
and platforms that our operations and expansion plans require or
the services that we require to maintain our extensive and
geographically widespread networks. In addition, because the supply
of network equipment and platforms requires detailed supply
planning and this equipment is technologically complex, it would be
difficult for us to replace the suppliers of this equipment.
Suppliers of cables that we need to extend and maintain our
networks may suffer capacity constraints or difficulties in
obtaining the raw materials required to manufacture these
cables.
We also
depend on network installation and maintenance services providers,
equipment suppliers, call centers, collection agencies and sales
agents, for network infrastructure, and services to satisfy our
operating needs. Many suppliers rely heavily on labor; therefore,
any work stoppage or labor relations problems affecting our
suppliers could adversely affect our operations. Suppliers may,
among other things, extend delivery times, raise prices and limit
supply due to their own shortages and business requirements.
Similarly, interruptions in the supply of telecommunications
equipment for networks could impede network development and
expansion. If these suppliers fail to deliver products and services
on a timely and cost-efficient basis that satisfies our demands or
are unwilling to sell to us on favorable credit terms or at all, we
could experience disruptions, which could have an adverse effect on
our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
Risks related to Our Infrastructure Division
Our success is dependent on the continued popularity of our
existing products and services and our continued innovation and
successful launches of new products and services, and we may not be
able to anticipate or make timely responses to changes in the
preferences of consumers.
The
success of our operations depends on our ability to introduce new
or enhanced EV charging, storage, and service stations for all
types of electric vehicles, and other new products. On the
automotive front and our strategy to install EV charging stations
we will rely on the continued growth of our Infrastructure
division. Consumer preferences differ across and within each of the
regions in which we operate or plan to operate and may shift over
time in response to changes in demographic and social trends,
economic circumstances and the marketing efforts of our
competitors. There can be no assurance that our existing EV
charging, storage, and service stations will continue to be favored
by consumers or that we will be able to anticipate or respond to
changes in consumer preferences in a timely manner. Our failure to
anticipate, identify or react to these particular preferences could
adversely affect our sales performance and our
profitability.
We rely substantially on external suppliers for the manufacture of
our EV charging, storage, and service stations/units.
In
regards to our EV charging installation business we rely on
external suppliers to continue to manufacture these units for us to
install and provide maintenance to. For our micro-mobility charging
stations rely on third party suppliers for our manufacturing. We
have entered into an exclusive manufacturing agreement with
Quebec-based Poitras Industries to produce and manufacture our
micro-mobility charging and docking stations. We expect to continue
to rely on external suppliers for a substantial percentage of our
requirements in the future. We cannot assure you that we will be
able to maintain our existing relationships with this supplier and
continue to be able to source EV charging, storage, and service
stations we use in our operations on a stable basis and at a
reasonable price or at all. For example, our supplier may increase
the prices for the EV charging, storage, and service stations we
purchase and/or experience disruptions in their production of
the components or materials.
Our revenue growth depends on consumers’ willingness to adopt
all types of EV infrastructure.
Our
growth is highly dependent upon the adoption and use by consumers
of the EV infrastructure provides we produce. The market for EV and
micro-mobility charging, storage and service stations or is
relatively new, rapidly evolving, characterized by rapidly changing
technologies, price competition, additional competitors, evolving
government regulation and industry standards, frequent new
announcements, long development cycles for EV original equipment
manufacturers, and changing consumer demands and behaviors. Factors
that may influence the purchase and use of charging, storage, and
service stations, and specifically charging, storage, and service
stations for EV products include:
●
|
perceptions
about quality and safety of charging, storage, and service
stations;
|
●
|
limited
range and access to docking and charging stations, standardization
of docking and charging systems lead to consumers’ concerns
regarding the cost to dock and charge a EV related
product;
|
●
|
environmental
consciousness of consumers;
|
●
|
inability
or unwillingness to supply the EV products by the manufacturers;
and
|
●
|
availability
of eligible tax and other government related incentives with
respect EV products.
|
The
influence of any of the factors described above may negatively
impact the widespread consumer adoption of all types of EV products
which would materially adversely affect our business, operating
results, financial condition and prospects.
Our ability to deploy and install our and other organizations EV
docking and charging units is dependent on outside government
regulation which can be subject to change at any time.
Our
ability to deploy and install EV docking and charging
units is dependent
on the outside government regulation such as transportation
ordinances by municipalities, FTC (Federal Trade Commission) and
other relevant government laws and regulations. The laws and
regulations concerning the deployment of our EV docking and
charging stations may be subject
to change and if they do then the deployment of our EV docking and
charging stations may no longer
be in the best interest of the Company. At such point the Company
may no longer want to sell product and therefore your investment in
the Company may be affected.
Computer malware, viruses, hacking, phishing attacks and spamming
could harm our business and results of operations.
Computer
malware, viruses, physical or electronic break-ins and similar
disruptions could lead to interruption and delays in our services
and operations and loss, misuse or theft of data. Computer malware,
viruses, computer hacking and phishing attacks against online
networking platforms have become more prevalent and may occur on
our systems in the future.
Any
attempts by hackers to disrupt our website service or our internal
systems, if successful, could harm our business, be expensive to
remedy and damage our reputation or brand. Our network security
business disruption insurance may not be sufficient to cover
significant expenses and losses related to direct attacks on our
website or internal systems. Efforts to prevent hackers from
entering our computer systems are expensive to implement and may
limit the functionality of our services. Though it is difficult to
determine what, if any, harm may directly result from any specific
interruption or attack, any failure to maintain performance,
reliability, security and availability of our products and services
and technical infrastructure may harm our reputation, brand and our
ability to attract customers. Any significant disruption to our
website or internal computer systems could result in a loss of
customers and could adversely affect our business and results of
operations.
We have
previously experienced, and may in the future experience, service
disruptions, outages and other performance problems due to a
variety of factors, including infrastructure changes, third-party
service providers, human or software errors and capacity
constraints. If our mobile application is unavailable when
customers attempt to access it or it does not load as quickly as
they expect, customers may seek other services.
Our
platform functions on software that is highly technical and complex
and may now or in the future contain undetected errors, bugs, or
vulnerabilities. Some errors in our software code may only be
discovered after the code has been deployed. Any errors, bugs, or
vulnerabilities discovered in our code after deployment, inability
to identify the cause or causes of performance problems within an
acceptable period of time or difficultly maintaining and improving
the performance of our platform, particularly during peak usage
times, could result in damage to our reputation or brand, loss of
revenues, or liability for damages, any of which could adversely
affect our business and financial results.
We
expect to continue to make significant investments to maintain and
improve the availability of our platform and to enable rapid
releases of new features and products. To the extent that we do not
effectively address capacity constraints, upgrade our systems as
needed and continually develop our technology and network
architecture to accommodate actual and anticipated changes in
technology, our business and operating results may be
harmed.
We have a disaster recovery program to transition our operating
platform and data to a failover location in the event of a
catastrophe, however, there are several factors ranging from human
error to data corruption that could materially lengthen the time
our platform is partially or fully unavailable to our user base as
a result of the transition. If our platform is unavailable for a
significant period of time as a result of such a transition,
especially during peak periods, we could suffer damage to our
reputation or brand, or loss of revenues any of which could
adversely affect our business and financial
results.
Growing our customer base depends upon the effective operation of
our mobile applications with mobile operating systems, networks and
standards that we do not control.
We are
dependent on the interoperability of our mobile applications with
popular mobile operating systems that we do not control, such as
Google’s Android and iOS, and any changes in such systems
that degrade our products’ functionality or give preferential
treatment to competitive products could adversely affect the usage
of our applications on mobile devices. Additionally, in order to
deliver high quality mobile products, it is important that our
products work well with a range of mobile technologies, systems,
networks and standards that we do not control. We may not be
successful in developing relationships with key participants in the
mobile industry or in developing products that operate effectively
with these technologies, systems, networks or
standards.
If we are unable to keep up with advances in EV technology, we may
suffer a decline in our competitive position.
The EV
industry is experiencing rapid technological change. If we are
unable to keep up with changes in EV technology, our competitive
position may deteriorate which would materially and adversely
affect our business, prospects, operating results and financial
condition. As technologies change, we plan to upgrade or adapt our
EV docking and charging stations and software in order to continue
to provide EV docking and charging services with the latest
technology. However, due to our limited cash resources, our efforts
to do so may be limited. As a result, we may be unable to grow,
maintain and enhance the network of docking and charging stations.
Any failure of our docking and charging stations to compete
effectively with other manufacturers’ charging stations will
harm our business, operating results and prospects.
We are in an intensely competitive industry and there can be no
assurance that we will be able to compete with our competitors who
may have greater resources.
We face
strong competition from competitors in the EV charging services
industry, including competitors who could duplicate our model. Many
of these competitors may have substantially greater financial,
marketing and development resources and other capabilities than us.
In addition, there are very few barriers to entry into the market
for our services. There can be no assurance, therefore, that any of
our current and future competitors, many of whom may have far
greater resources, will not independently develop services that are
substantially equivalent or superior to our services. Therefore, an
investment in our business is very risky and speculative due to the
competitive environment in which we may operate.
Our
competitors may be able to provide customers with different or
greater capabilities or benefits than we can provide in areas such
as technical qualifications, past contract performance, geographic
presence and price. Furthermore, many of our competitors may be
able to utilize substantially greater resources and economies of
scale to develop competing products and technologies, divert sales
away from us by winning broader contracts or hire away our
employees by offering more lucrative compensation packages. In the
event that the market for EV docking and charging stations expands,
we expect that competition will intensify as additional competitors
enter the market and current competitors expand their product
lines. In order to secure contracts successfully when competing
with larger, well-financed companies, we may be forced to agree to
contractual terms that provide for lower aggregate payments to us
over the life of the contract, which could adversely affect our
margins. Our failure to compete effectively with respect to any of
these or other factors could have a material adverse effect on our
business, prospects, financial condition or operating
results.
Changes to federal, state or international laws or regulations
applicable to our company could adversely affect our
business.
Our
business is subject to a variety of federal, state and
international laws and regulations, including those with respect
government incentives promoting fuel efficiency and alternate forms
of energy, electric vehicles and others. These laws and
regulations, and the interpretation or application of these laws
and regulations, could change. Any reduction, elimination or
discriminatory application of government subsidies and economic
incentives because of policy changes, fiscal tightening or other
reasons may result in diminished revenues from government sources
and diminished demand for our products. In addition, new laws or
regulations affecting our business could be enacted. These laws and
regulations are frequently costly to comply with and may divert a
significant portion of management’s attention. If we fail to
comply with these applicable laws or regulations, we could be
subject to significant liabilities which could adversely affect our
business.
There
are many federal, state and international laws that may affect our
business, including measures to regulate charging systems, electric
vehicles, and others. If we fail to comply with these applicable
laws or regulations we could be subject to significant liabilities
which could adversely affect our business.
There
are a number of significant matters under review and discussion
with respect to government regulations which may affect the
business we intend to enter and/or harm our customers, and thereby
adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
Risks Related to Our Investment Division
Our investment division may invest in relatively high-risk,
illiquid assets, and may fail to realize any profits from these
activities for a considerable period of time or lose some or all of
the principal investments.
Our
investment division may invest in securities that are not publicly
traded or that are otherwise illiquid. There may be no readily
available liquidity in these securities, particularly at times of
market stress or where many participants may be seeking liquidity
at the same time. In many cases, our investment division may be
prohibited, whether by contract, by applicable securities laws or
by the lack of a liquid market, from selling such securities for a
period of time. Moreover, even if the securities are publicly
traded, holdings of securities could run into a situation where it
may be disposed of only over a substantial length of time, exposing
the investment returns to risks of downward movement in market
prices during the required holding period. Accordingly, under
certain conditions, our investment division could be forced to
either sell securities at lower prices than they had expected to
realize or defer, potentially for a considerable period of time,
sales that they had planned to make. Investment in illiquid assets
involves considerable risk and our investment division may lose
some or all of the principal amount of such
investments.
Our investment division makes investments in companies that we do
not control, exposing us to the risk of decisions made by others
with whom we may not agree.
Investments by our
investment division will include investments in equity of companies
that we do not control. Such investments may be acquired by our
investment division through trading activities or through purchases
of securities from the issuer. Those investments will be subject to
the risk that the company in which the investment is made may make
business, financial or management decisions contrary to our
expectations, with which we do not agree or that the majority
stakeholders or the management of the company may take risks or
otherwise act in a manner that does not serve our interests. In
addition, we may make investments in which we share control over
the investment with co-investors, which may make it more difficult
for us to implement our investment approach or exit the investment
when we otherwise would. If any of the foregoing were to occur with
respect to one or more significant investments, the values of such
investments by our investment division could decrease and our
business, financial condition or results of operations could suffer
as a result.
The historical returns attributable to our investment division
should not be considered as indicative of the future results of our
investment division or of our future results or of any returns
expected on an investment in shares of our common
stock.
The
historical performance of our investment division is relevant to us
primarily insofar as it is indicative of past performance The
historical and potential net income of the investment division,
however, is not directly linked to returns on shares of our common
stock. Therefore, holders of our common stock should not conclude
that positive performance of the investment division will
necessarily result in positive returns on a return on investment in
shares of our common stock. Moreover, the historical income of our
investment division should not be considered indicative of the
future returns of this division, in part because:
|
●
|
|
market

The due diligence process that we undertake in connection with
investments by our investment division may not reveal all facts
that may be relevant in connection with making an
investment.
Before
investments are made by our investment division, particularly
investments in securities that are not publicly traded, we conduct
due diligence that we deem reasonable and appropriate based on the
facts and circumstances applicable to each investment. When
conducting due diligence, we may be required to evaluate important
and complex business, financial, tax, accounting, environmental and
legal issues. Outside consultants, legal advisors, accountants and
investment bankers may be involved in the due diligence process in
varying degrees depending on the type of investment. Nevertheless,
when conducting due diligence and making an assessment regarding an
investment, we rely on the resources available to us, including
information provided by the target of the investment and, in some
circumstances, third-party investigations. The due diligence that
we carry out with respect to any investment opportunity may not
reveal or highlight all relevant facts that may be necessary or
helpful in evaluating such investment opportunity, and such an
evaluation will not necessarily result in the investment being
successful. Moreover, the level of due diligence conducted with
respect to a particular investment will vary and we may not
properly assess the appropriate amount of diligence for each
investment, which may result in losses.
Risks Related to this Offering and Our Common Stock
There has been a limited public market for our common stock, and we
do not know whether one will develop to provide you adequate
liquidity. Furthermore, the trading price for our common stock,
should an active trading market develop, may be volatile and could
be subject to wide fluctuations in per-share price.
Our
common stock is quoted on the OTC Pink under the trading symbol
“CRGE”; historically, however, there has been a limited
public market for our common stock. Although we have applied to
list our Common Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market, we cannot assure
you that an active trading market for our common stock will develop
or be sustained. The liquidity of any market for the shares of our
common stock will depend on a number of factors,
including:
●
|
the
number of stockholders;
|
●
|
our
operating performance and financial condition;
|
●
|
the
market for similar securities;
|
●
|
the
extent of coverage of us by securities or industry analysts;
and
|
●
|
the
interest of securities dealers in making a market in the shares of
our common stock.
|
Even if
an active trading market develops, the market price for our common
stock may be highly volatile and could be subject to wide
fluctuations. In addition, the price of shares of our common stock
could decline significantly if our future operating results fail to
meet or exceed the expectations of market analysts and investors
and actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly operating
results could negatively affect our share price.
The
volatility of the price of our common stock may also be impacted by
the risks discussed under this “Risk Factors” section,
in addition to other factors, including:
●
|
developments
in the financial markets and worldwide or regional
economies;
|
●
|
announcements
of innovations or new products or services by us or our
competitors;
|
●
|
announcements
by the government relating to regulations that govern our
industry;
|
●
|
significant
sales of our common stock or other securities in the open
market;
|
●
|
variations
in interest rates;
|
●
|
changes
in the market valuations of other comparable companies;
and
|
●
|
changes
in accounting principles.

Our outstanding warrants and preferred stock may affect the market
price and liquidity of the common stock.
As of
November 14, 2021, we had approximately 182,981,219
shares of common stock and warrants for the purchase up to
approximately an additional 21,714,402 shares of common stock
outstanding. All of these warrants are exercisable as of the date
of this prospectus (subject to certain beneficial ownership
limitations) as follows: 9,844,402 warrants at an exercise price of
$0.50 per share, 10,000,000 warrants at an exercise price of $2.00
per share and 1,870,000 warrants at an exercise price of $4.00 per
share. We also have outstanding 2,395,105 shares of our series B
preferred stock outstanding, which is convertible into 2,395,105
shares of common stock. As described more fully below, holders of
our notes and warrants may elect to receive a substantial number of
shares of common stock upon conversion of the notes and/or exercise
of the warrants. The amount of common stock reserved for issuance
may have an adverse impact on our ability to raise capital and may
affect the price and liquidity of our common stock in the public
market. In addition, the issuance of these shares of common stock will have a
dilutive effect on current stockholders’
ownership.
The conversion of outstanding convertible notes into shares of
common stock could materially dilute our current
stockholders.
As of
the date of this prospectus, we had approximately $6.95 million
aggregate principal amount of convertible notes outstanding,
convertible into shares of our common stock at a fixed price of
$0.25 per share, as well as an additional $5.61 million aggregate
principal amount of convertible notes outstanding, convertible into
shares of our common stock at a fixed price of $3.00 per share. The
conversion prices of these notes may be less than the market price
of our common stock at the time of conversion, and which may be
subject to future adjustment due to certain events, including our
issuance of common stock or common stock equivalents at an
effective price per share lower than the conversion rate then in
effect. If the entire principal amount of all the
outstanding convertible notes is converted into shares of common
stock, we would be required to issue an aggregate of no less than
approximately 30 million shares of common stock. If we issue all of
these shares, the ownership of our current stockholders will be
diluted.
Because our common stock may be deemed a low-priced
“penny” stock, an investment in our common stock should
be considered high-risk and subject to marketability
restrictions.
Historically,
the trading price of our common stock has been $5.00 per share or
lower, and deemed a penny stock, as defined in Rule 3a51-1 under
the Exchange Act, and subject to the penny stock rules of the
Exchange Act specified in rules 15g-1 through 15g-100. Those rules
require broker–dealers, before effecting transactions in any
penny stock, to:
●
|
deliver
to the customer, and obtain a written receipt for, a disclosure
document;
|
●
|
disclose
certain price information about the stock;
|
●
|
disclose
the amount of compensation received by the broker-dealer or any
associated person of the broker-dealer;
|
●
|
send
monthly statements to customers with market and price information
about the penny stock; and
|
●
|
in some
circumstances, approve the purchaser’s account under certain
standards and deliver written statements to the customer with
information specified in the rules.
|
Consequently,
the penny stock rules may restrict the ability or willingness of
broker-dealers to sell the common stock and may affect the ability
of holders to sell their common stock in the secondary market and
the price at which such holders can sell any such securities. These
additional procedures could also limit our ability to raise
additional capital in the future.
There is no guarantee that our common stock will be listed on
Nasdaq.
We have applied to list our shares of common stock on The Nasdaq
Capital Market. We believe that we will satisfy the listing
requirements however such listing is not guaranteed. Even if such
listing is approved, there can be no assurance any broker will be
interested in trading our common stock. Therefore, it may be
difficult to sell any shares of our common stock if you desire or
need to sell them.
Even if we meet the initial listing requirements of the Nasdaq
Capital Market, there can be no assurance that we will be able to
comply with the continued listing standards of the Nasdaq Capital
Market. Our failure to meet the continued listing requirements of
the Nasdaq Capital Market could result in a de-listing of our
Common Stock.
Even if we meet the initial listing requirements of the Nasdaq
Capital Market, we cannot assure you that we will be able to comply
with the other standards that we are required to meet in order to
maintain a listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital
Market. If after listing we fail to satisfy the continued listing
requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market, such as the corporate
governance requirements or the minimum stockholder’s equity
requirement, the Nasdaq Capital Market may take steps to de-list
our common stock. Such a de-listing would likely have a negative
effect on the price of our Common Stock and would impair our
shareholders’ ability to sell or purchase our Common Stock
when they wish to do so. In the event of a de-listing, we would
take actions to restore our compliance with the Nasdaq Capital
Market’s listing requirements, but we can provide no
assurance that any action taken by us would result in our common
stock becoming listed again, or that any such action would
stabilize the market price or improve the liquidity of our Common
Stock.
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) sales
practice requirements may also limit a stockholder’s ability
to buy and sell our common stock, which could depress the price of
our common stock.
In
addition to the “penny stock” rules described above,
FINRA has adopted rules that require a broker-dealer to have
reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable
for that customer before recommending an investment to a customer.
Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their
non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable
efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial
status, tax status, investment objectives and other information.
Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is
a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not
be suitable for at least some customers. Thus, the FINRA
requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend
that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your
ability to buy and sell our shares of common stock, have an adverse
effect on the market for our shares of common stock, and thereby
depress our price per share of common stock.
If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or
reports about our business, or if they issue an adverse or
misleading opinion regarding our stock, our stock price and trading
volume could decline.
The
trading market for our common stock may be influenced by the
research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish
about us or our business. We do not currently have, and may never
obtain, research coverage by securities and industry analysts. If
no or few securities or industry analysts commence coverage of us,
the trading price for our common stock may be negatively affected.
In the event that we receive securities or industry analyst
coverage, if any of the analysts who cover us issue an adverse or
misleading opinion regarding us, our business model, our
intellectual property or our stock performance, or if our operating
results fail to meet the expectations of analysts, our stock price
would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease
coverage of us or fail to publish reports on us regularly, we could
lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause
our stock price or trading volume to decline.
Certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation and Delaware
law make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us and make
a takeover more difficult to complete, even if such a transaction
were in stockholders’ interest.
Our
certificate of incorporation and the Delaware General Corporation
Law contain certain provisions that may have the effect of making
it more difficult or delaying attempts by others to obtain control
of our Company, even when these attempts may be in the best
interests of our stockholders. We also are subject to the
anti-takeover provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law,
which prohibits us from engaging in a “business
combination” with an “interested stockholder”
unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner
and prohibits the voting of shares held by persons acquiring
certain numbers of shares without obtaining requisite approval. The
statutes and our certificate of incorporation have the effect of
making it more difficult to effect a change in control of our
Company.
We do not currently or for the foreseeable future intend to pay
dividends on our common stock.
We have
never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock.
Except as may be required by our Series B Preferred Stock, we
currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings for the
development, operation and expansion of our business and do not
anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends for the
foreseeable future. As a result, any return on your investment in
our common stock will be limited to the appreciation in the price
of our common stock, if any.
Our bylaws designate certain courts as the sole and exclusive forum
for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated
by our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders’
ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us
or our directors, officers, or employees.
Our bylaws provide that, unless we consent in writing to an
alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware
(or, if the Court of Chancery does not have jurisdiction, the
federal district court for the District of Delaware) will be the
exclusive forum for: (i) any derivative action or proceeding
brought on behalf of the Company; (ii) any action asserting a claim
for breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer,
employee, or agent of ours to us or our stockholders; (iii) any
action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the
Delaware General Corporation Law, the Certificate of Incorporation,
or the bylaws; and (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by
the internal affairs doctrine (the “Delaware Forum
Provision”). In addition, our bylaws provide that any person
or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares
of our common stock is deemed to have notice of and consented to
the Delaware Forum Provision.
The
Delaware Forum Provision will not apply to suits brought to enforce
any duty or liability created by the Securities Act, the Exchange
Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive
jurisdiction.
We
recognize that the Delaware Forum Provision in our bylaws may
impose additional litigation costs on stockholders in pursuing any
such claims, particularly if the stockholders do not reside in or
near the State of Delaware. Additionally, the Delaware Forum
Provision may limit our stockholders’ ability to bring a
claim in a forum that they find favorable for disputes with us or
our directors, officers or employees, which may discourage such
lawsuits against us and our directors, officers and employees even
though an action, if successful, might benefit our stockholders.
The Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and the United
States District Court may also reach different judgments or results
than would other courts, including courts where a stockholder
considering an action may be located or would otherwise choose to
bring the action, and such judgments may be more or less favorable
to us than our stockholders. If the enforceability of
our forum selection provisions were to be
challenged, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving
such challenge. While we currently have no basis to expect any such
challenge would be successful, if a court were to find
our forum selection provisions to be inapplicable or
unenforceable with respect to one or more of these specified types
of actions or proceedings, we may incur additional costs associated
with having to litigate in other jurisdictions, which could have an
adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of
operations, cash flows and prospects and result in a diversion of
the time and resources of our employees, management and board of
directors.
Financial reporting obligations of being a public company in the
United States are expensive and time-consuming, and our management
will be required to devote substantial time to compliance
matters.
Upon
effectiveness of the registration statement of which this
prospectus forms a part, we will incur significant additional
legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a
private company. The obligations of being a public company in the
United States require significant expenditures and will place
significant demands on our management and other personnel,
including costs resulting from public company reporting obligations
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the
Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations regarding corporate
governance practices, including those under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street
Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or the Dodd-Frank Act, and the
listing requirements of the stock exchange on which our securities
are listed or quoted, if any. These rules require the establishment
and maintenance of effective disclosure and financial controls and
procedures, internal control over financial reporting and changes
in corporate governance practices, among many other complex rules
that are often difficult to implement, monitor and maintain
compliance with. Moreover, despite recent reforms made possible by
the JOBS Act, the reporting requirements, rules, and regulations
will make some activities more time-consuming and costly,
particularly after we are no longer an "emerging growth company."
In addition, we expect these rules and regulations to make it more
difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer
liability insurance and we may be required to incur substantial
costs to maintain the same or similar coverage that we had through
Synergy. Our management and other personnel will need to devote a
substantial amount of time to ensure that we comply with all of
these requirements and to keep pace with new regulations, otherwise
we may fall out of compliance and risk becoming subject to
litigation or being delisted, among other potential
problems.
We are an "emerging growth company" and as a result of our reduced
disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies,
our common stock may be less attractive to investors.
We are
an "emerging growth company," as defined in the Jumpstart Our
Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act, and we intend to
take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting
requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are
not "emerging growth companies" including, but not limited to, 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 remain an "emerging growth company"
until the earliest to occur of (i) the last day of the fiscal year
in which we have total annual gross revenues of $1.07 billion or
more; (ii) the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth
anniversary of the date of this prospectus; (iii) the date on which
we have issued more than $1 billion in nonconvertible debt during
the previous three years; or (iv) the date on which we are deemed
to be a large accelerated filer under the rules of the Securities
and Exchange Commission. We cannot predict whether investors will
find our common stock less attractive because we will 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.
We are not subject to any reporting requirements with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Until such time as we will be
subject to such reporting requirements, there may not be liquidity
in our common stock.
We are
not subject to any reporting obligations with the SEC and we were
previously a “shell company” as defined in Rule 12b-2
under the Exchange Act. Pursuant to Rule 144(i), securities issued
by a current or former shell company that otherwise meet the
holding period and other requirements of Rule 144 nevertheless
cannot be sold in reliance on Rule 144 until one year after we (a)
are no longer a shell company; and (b) has filed current
“Form 10 information“ (as defined in Rule 144(i)) with
the SEC reflecting that it is no longer a shell company, and
provided that at the time of a proposed sale pursuant to Rule 144,
we are subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d)
of the Exchange Act and has filed all reports and other materials
required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as
applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter
period that the issuer was required to file such reports and
materials), other than Form 8-K reports. As a result, Rule 144 is
not currently available to us.
USE OF PROCEEDS
The
Selling Shareholders will receive all of the proceeds from the sale
of the Shares offered by them pursuant to this prospectus. We will
not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Shares by the Selling
Stockholders, however, we would receive proceeds upon such Selling
Stockholders’ cash exercise of Warrants. If the Selling
Stockholders’ fully exercise the Warrants proceeds would be
approximately $3.8 million. We can give no assurances that any
such Warrant will be exercised, nor can we give any assurances that
we will receive any from the Selling Stockholders sale pursuant to
this prospectus.
We
intend to use any proceeds from the Selling Stockholders’
exercise of the Warrants for working capital and other general
corporate purposes. We may use a portion of any proceeds we might
receive for acquisitions of complementary businesses, technologies,
or other assets. However, we have no commitments to use any
proceeds we might receive from this offering for any such
acquisitions or investments at this time.
We have
never paid any cash dividends on our capital stock and except as
required by our Series B Preferred Stock, do not anticipate paying
any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.
We intend to retain future earnings to fund ongoing operations and
future capital requirements. Any future determination to pay cash
dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and
will be dependent upon financial condition, results of operations,
capital requirements and such other factors as the board of
directors deems relevant.
MARKET FOR OUR COMMON
STOCK AND DIVIDEND POLICY
Our
common stock has been quoted on the OTC Pink Market since January
27, 2021. Our common stock is currently quoted under the trading
symbol “CRGE”.We have applied to list our common stock
on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the trading symbol
“CRGE”. Trading volume of our common stock has often
been very limited. As a result, the trading price of our common
stock has been subject to significant fluctuations. There can be no
assurance that a liquid market will develop in the foreseeable
future.
Transfer of our
common stock may also be restricted under securities or “blue
sky” laws of certain states and foreign jurisdiction.
Consequently, investors may not be able to liquidate their
investments and should be prepared to hold the common stock for an
indefinite period of time. Over-the-counter market quotations
reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or
commission and may not necessarily represent actual
transactions.
Stockholders
As of
November 14, 2021, there were 1,062
stockholders of record, which total does not include stockholders
who hold their shares in “street name.” The transfer
agent for our common stock is Manhattan Transfer Registrar Company,
whose address is 3B Sheep Pasture Road, Port Jefferson, New York
11777.
Dividends
We have
not paid any dividends on our common stock to date. We do not
anticipate that we will pay dividends in the foreseeable future but
rather intend to use any future earnings for the development and
expansion of our business.
Any
future payment of cash dividends on our common stock will be
dependent upon (i) the amount of funds legally available, (ii) our
earnings, if any, (iii) our financial condition, (iv) anticipated
capital requirements, and (v) all other factors as our board of
directors may find relevant at the time.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our
financial condition and results of operations together with our
financial statements and the related notes and other financial
information included elsewhere in this prospectus. Some of the
information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth
elsewhere in this prospectus, including information with respect to
our plans and strategy for our business, includes forward-looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties. See “Special
Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” You should review
the “Risk Factors” section of this prospectus for a
discussion of important factors that could cause our actual results
to differ materially from the results described in or implied by
the forward-looking statements contained in the following
discussion and analysis.
Overview
Our
Company consists of a portfolio of global businesses with the
vision of connecting people everywhere with communications and
electric-vehicle charging (“EV”) infrastructure. We
believe the rise of new developing technologies in both industries
offers us a unique growth opportunity. Our strategy focuses on
acquiring businesses with operations geared toward such
technologies’ development to revolutionize the
telecommunications and EV infrastructure industries with our global
portfolio.
Our Telecommunications Division
Our Telecommunications division (“Telecommunications”)
has provided termination of both voice and data to Carriers and
Mobile Network Operators (MNO's) globally for over two decades and
we will selectively add profitable products and services to this
long-established business.
Our Infrastructure Division
Our Infrastructure division
(“Infrastructure”) has a primary focus on
two fast growing sectors: EV charging,
and Telecommunications Network 5G, including cell tower, small
cell, and in-building applications. Solutions
for these two sectors include: Design and
Engineering, Equipment specification and
sourcing, Installation, Data & software solutions,
and Service and Maintenance.
Our Investment Division
Our Investment division (“Investment”) focuses on
opportunities related to our global portfolio to expand our
vision’s impact. We aim to invest in opportunities that would
complement our two operating divisions in addition to marketable
securities, including money markets funds and other listed
securities. Our Investment division provides services aimed at
offsetting the overall cost of capital.
We offer our Investment services through our wholly-owned
subsidiary, Charge Investments (“CI”).
Recent Developments

acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interests in Transworld
Enterprises, Inc. (“Transworld”) in exchange for

convertible into 80% of our shares of issued and outstanding common
stock upon consummation of a reverse stock split. The Series F

the May 2020 Notes. In August 2020, KORR Value LP transferred 50%

We

accredited investors (the “Subordinated Creditors”),
dated May 8, 2020 and September 30, 2020, respectively. Pursuant to
which we issued convertible notes in an aggregate principal amount

2,359,555 shares of common stock (the “Subordinated Creditor

to the May 2020 Notes.
On
October 1, 2020 we filed a Certificate of Amendment with the
Colorado Secretary of State reflecting a 500:1 reverse stock split
and our conversion of our state of incorporation from Colorado to
Delaware. In connection with such corporate conversion: (i) we
changed our name from “GoIP Global, Inc.” to
“Transworld Holdings, Inc.”; (ii) we converted all
preferred stock, with the exception of the Series F Preferred, that
were issued and outstanding prior to the conversion into shares of
common stock; and (iii) the Series F Preferred converted in shares
of Series A preferred stock (the “Series A Preferred”).
The transactions described above were approved by FINRA on October

open of trading on October 6, 2020.
On December 8, 2020, the Company entered into a
securities purchase agreement with accredited investors
pursuant to which the Company sold an aggregate of 8,700,002 shares
of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of
$2,175,000.
On January 26, 2021, following its acquisitions of PTGi and
GetCharged, we changed our name from Transworld Holdings, Inc.
to Charge Enterprises, Inc.
We
entered into a securities purchase agreement dated November 3, 2020
with Arena, pursuant to which we issued convertible notes in an
aggregate principal amount of $3.8 million for an aggregate
purchase price of $3.5 million (the “November 2020
Notes” and, together with the May 2020 Notes the “Arena

Notes, we issued 903,226 shares of common stock to
Arena.
We
entered into a securities purchase agreement dated December 8, 2020
with certain accredited investors, pursuant to which we issued an
aggregate of 8,700,002 shares of common stock for an aggregate
purchase price of $2,175,000.
Our
wholly-owned subsidiary, Charge Infrastructure, Inc., entered into
a securities purchase agreement, dated May 7, 2021, with the
shareholders of Nextridge, Inc., a New York corporation
(“Nextridge”) pursuant to which we agreed to purchase
all the issued and outstanding shares of Nextridge for an aggregate
purchase price of $19,798,324 (the “Nextridge
Acquisition”). $6,850,000 of the aggregate purchase price
payable to the shareholders of Nextridge was paid through the
issuance of an aggregate of 2,395,105 shares of our Series B
preferred stock (the “Series B Preferred”). The closing
of the Nextridge Acquisition occurred on May 21, 2021. Nextridge
operates its business through its wholly owned subsidiary, ANS
Advanced Network Services LLC, a New York, limited liability
company.
Founded
in 1991, Nextridge’s predecessor company, Telecommunications
Analysis Group, Inc., began with a strategic focus on
communications and telephone networks in the enterprise and higher
education market, providing high-quality Engineering, Furnishing
and Installation (EF&I) services for building and developing
infrastructure. Over time, Nextridge, through its wholly owned
subsidiary ANS, has grown from servicing telephone networks to
providing high-quality engineer, furnish and install (EF&I)
services for wireless carriers, tower owners, enterprise
facilities, and government offices. This includes in-building
wireless (DAS), cell tower and network infrastructure services, as
well as DC and UPS backup power services. Today, ANS’s U.S.
footprint extends from Chicago to the Northeast and down the East
Coast, with as-needed support nationwide.
On May
19, 2021, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with some
of the May 2020 Investors pursuant to which we issued (i) an
aggregate principal amount of $5,610,000 of original issue discount
senior secured convertible promissory notes due May 19, 2024 (the
“May 2021 Convertible Notes”), and (ii) an aggregate
principal amount of $11,032,609 of original issue discount senior
secured non-convertible promissory notes due November
19, 2022 (the “May 2021 Non-Convertible
Notes” and together with the May 2021 Convertible Notes, the
“May 2021 Notes”). In connection with the issuance of
the May 2021 Notes, we issued to the investors three
year warrants to purchase 1,870,000 shares of common stock at an
exercise price of $4.00 per share. On November 26, 2021, the
Investors and the Company agreed to extend the maturity date of the
May 2021 Non-Convertible Notes to November 19,
2023.
The May
2021 Non-Convertible Notes accrue interest at a rate of 7.5% per
annum, subject to increase to 20% per annum upon and during the
occurrence of an event of default and are to be redeemed at 107.5%
of face value on the maturity date. The May 2021 Convertible Notes
accrue interest at a rate of 8% per annum, subject to increase to
20% per annum upon and during the occurrence of an event of
default. Interest is payable in cash on a monthly basis. The May
2021 Convertible Notes are convertible at any time, at the
holder’s option, into shares of our common stock at an
initial conversion price of $3.00 per share, subject to certain beneficial
ownership limitations (with a maximum ownership limit of
9.99%). The conversion
price is also subject to adjustment due to certain events,
including stock dividends, stock splits and in connection with the
issuance by the Company of common stock or common stock
equivalents at an effective price per share lower than the
conversion price then in effect.
The
November 2020 Notes rank pari passu with the May 2020 Notes and
senior to all current and future indebtedness of the Company and
are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company. In
addition, some of the Company’s subsidiaries entered into a
subsidiary guaranty agreement and guaranteed the obligations owned
to the investors under the May 2021 Notes.
A
Registration Rights Agreement was executed in connection with the
issuance of the May 2021 Notes. If we fail to have the
registration statement filed within 3 months of the closing date,
delcared effective within 6 months of the closing date or if we
fail to maintain the effectiveness of the registration
statement until all of such shares of common stock have been sold
or are otherwise able to be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, without any volume or manner of
sale restrictions, then the Company will be obligated to pay to the
investors liquidated damages equal to then, in addition to any
other rights the Holders may have hereunder or under applicable
law, upon the occurrence of any such event and on each monthly
anniversary of thereafter until the event is cured, the Company
shall pay to the investors an amount in cash equal to their pro
rata portion of $75,000 per month until such events are satisfied.
The investors agreed to waive any penalties that would be due
and payable through January 31,
2022.
Impact of COVID-19
On
January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”)
announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of
coronavirus originating in Wuhan, China (the “COVID-19
outbreak”) and the risks to the international community as
the virus spreads globally beyond its point of origin. In March
2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based
on the rapid increase in exposure globally.
The
full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve as of the
date of this prospectus. As such, it is uncertain as to the full
magnitude that the pandemic will have on our financial condition,
liquidity, and future results of operations. Management is actively
monitoring the global situation and its impact on our financial
condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry, and
workforce.
The
ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is highly uncertain and
subject to change and we do not yet know the full extent of
potential delays or impacts on our business, financing or clinical
trial activities or on healthcare systems or the global economy as
a whole. Although we cannot estimate the length or gravity of the
impact of the COVID-19 outbreak nor estimate the potential impact
to our fiscal year 2020 financial statements at this time, if the
pandemic continues, it could have a material adverse effect on our
results of future operations, financial position, liquidity, and
capital resources, and those of the third parties on which we rely
in fiscal year 2020.
Comparability to Past Periods
The
consolidated financial information presented throughout this
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations” for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2020 includes our consolidated results,
including PTGI and GetCharged after their respective date of
acquisition in October 2020. The financial information presented
throughout this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for the
other periods included herein are for PTGI and GetCharged as
standalone companies prior to our acquisition of them. Because substantially all of our
business is composed of operations acquired during this period and
because of the substantial change in the operations of each
acquired business in connection with its acquisition, we believe
the financial statements of each of PTGi and GetCharged are more
relevant to an investor than our financial statements because the
financial statements for each company present the financial
position and results of the underlying operations in greater
detail.

Segment Results of Operations
We have
included below certain pro forma results of operations for the
telecommunications and infrastructure operating segments for the
three and nine months ended September
30, 2021. These pro forma results give effect to the acquisitions
of GetCharged, PTGI and ANS as if they had occurred on January 1,
2020. The pro forma results of operations were derived from the
historical unaudited financial statements of GetCharged and PTGI
for the year ended December 31, 2020 and of ANS for the period May
22, 2020 to September
30, 2020. Management believes that presenting pro forma results is
important to understanding the Company’s financial
performance, providing better analysis of trends in our underlying
businesses as it allows for comparability to prior period results.
The unaudited pro forma results of operations are not intended to
represent or be indicative of the consolidated results of
operations or financial condition of the Company that would have
been reported had the acquisitions been completed as of their
respective dates, and should not be construed as representative of
the future consolidated results of operations or financial
condition of the combined entity.

comparable between 2020 and 2021. The variability period over
period can be attributed to changes in our customer mix and
fluctuations in wholesale traffic volumes and global events outside
the control of the company and is in no way impacted by the sale to
Charge.

of PTGi and GetCharged, we have sustained operating losses. In
order to finance the aforementioned acquisitions, we issued
approximately $8.2 million aggregate principal amount of
convertible promissory notes throughout the second and third
quarter of 2020. As a result of our acquisitions of PTGi, and
GetCharged and the formation of Investments, we believe we have
sufficient capital to fund our operations for the near future.
However, we are currently evaluating different strategies to ensure
we obtain adequate funding for any future acquisitions we may
undertake. We are continuing to consider that strategies may
include, but are not limited to: public offerings of equity and/or
debt securities.
Our
financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019
were prepared on a going-concern basis, which contemplates the
realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the
normal course of business. As a result, these financial statements
do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should we be
unable to continue in existence. We have incurred substantial
losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception,
as a result of operations prior to Transworld purchasing GoIP and
has an accumulated deficit of approximately $17.5 million. We
believe our financial position is more secure as a result of our
acquisitions of PTGi and GetCharged and the formation CI, all of
which occurred in the fourth quarter of 2020.
As of
September 30, 2021, we had cash of
$9,425,732 and
working capital of $7,975,635. As of December 31,
2020, we had cash of $11,629,303 and working capital of $2,948,711.
Additionally, management has prepared estimates of operations for
fiscal years 2021 and 2022 and believes that cash on hand and funds
to be generated from operations are sufficient to service our debt
obligations and operations for one year from the date of this
prospectus. We may, however, in the future require additional cash
resources due to changing business conditions, implementation of
our strategy to expand our business, or other investments or
acquisitions we may decide to pursue. If our own financial
resources are insufficient to satisfy our capital requirements, we
may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities. The sale of
additional equity securities could result in dilution to our
stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in
increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to
operating and financial covenants that would restrict our
operations. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms
acceptable to us, if at all. Any failure by us to raise additional
funds on terms favorable to us, or at all, could limit our ability
to expand our business operations and could harm our overall
business prospects.
During
the nine months ended September
30, 2021, we had net cash flow used by operating activities of
$3,502,956. The cash flow provided by operating
activities resulted from the net loss for the year, an increase in
outstanding receivables non-cash charges for stock-based
compensation and stock issuance costs, and the amortization of debt
discounts as well as an increase in accrued expenses as offset by
payment of accounts payable and net income from
investments.
We had net cash flow used
by investing activities of $20,063,169 for the
nine months ended September
30, 2021. The cash used by investing activities was the result of
the acquisition of Nextridge and an offset from the purchase and
sale of marketable securities.
We had
net cash flow provided by financing activities of
$14,722,948 for the nine months ended
September
30, 2021. The cash provided by financing activities was the result
of proceeds from the issuance of notes payable as partially offset
by repayments on the line of credit.
As a
result of the foregoing, the Company had a net decrease in cash of
$2,203,571 during the nine months ended
September
30, 2021.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, we had net cash flow used
by operating activities of $6,491,984, The cash flow used by
operating activities resulted from the net loss for the year, an
increase in outstanding receivables and the payment of accounts
payable as offset by non-cash charges for stock-based compensation
and stock issuance costs, impairment of goodwill and the
amortization of debt discounts as well as a decrease in accrued
expenses.
We had net cash flow provided by investing activities of $8,745,737
for the year ended December 31, 2020. The cash provided by
investing activities was the result of the cash acquired in the
purchase of the PTGi and GetCharged acquisitions as partially
offset by investments made in marketable securities.
We had net cash flow provided by financing activities of $9,375,519
during the year ended December 31, 2020. These cash flows provided
were primarily the result of the proceeds for debt and equity
financings.
As a result of the foregoing, the Company had a net increase in
cash of $11,629,272 during the year ended December 31,
2020.
The
impact of COVID-19 on our business has been considered in these
assumptions; however, it is too early to know the full impact of
COVID-19 or its timing on a return to more normal
operations.

issued a report on their December 31, 2019 financial statements
that included an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt
in GetCharged’s ability to continue as a going concern
without additional capital becoming available. These financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from

Critical Accounting Policies
We
consider the following accounting policies to be critical given
they involve estimates and judgments made by management and are
important for our investors’ understanding of our operating
results and financial condition. For more information see Note 2 to
our audited financial statements beginning on page F-1 of this
prospectus.
Revenue Recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards
Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from contracts with
customers,” (Topic 606). Revenue is recognized when a
customer obtains control of promised goods or services. In
addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount,
timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from
contracts with customers. The amount of revenue that is recorded
reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in
exchange for those goods. The Company applies the following
five-step model in order to determine this amount: (i)
identification of the promised goods in the contract; (ii)
determination of whether the promised goods are performance
obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of
the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including
the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the
transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v)
recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each
performance obligation. The Company’s main revenue stream is
from services. The Company recognizes as revenues the amount of the
transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance
obligation when the performance obligation is satisfied or as it is
satisfied. Generally, the Company's performance obligations are
transferred to customers at a point in time, typically upon
delivery.
PTGI
PTGI
operates an extensive network of direct routes and offers premium
voice communication services for carrying a mix of business,
residential and carrier long-distance traffic, data and transit
traffic. PTGI has both a customer and vendor relationship with most
parties. PTGI sells the customer routing services through the PTGI
supplier routes on incoming calls and then PTGI purchases routing
services from other vendor’s supplier routes in order to
complete the call. Revenue is earned based on the number of minutes
during a call multiplied by the price per minute, and is recorded
upon completion of a call. Incomplete calls are not revenues earned
by PTGI and may occur as a result of technical issues or because
the customer’s credit limit was exceeded and thus the
customer routing of traffic was prevented. Revenue for a period is
calculated from information received through PTGI’s billing
software, such as minutes and market rates. PTGI evaluates gross
versus net revenue recognition for each of its contractual
arrangements by assessing indicators of control and significant
influence to determine whether the PTGI acts as a principal (i.e.
gross recognition) or an agent (i.e. net recognition). PTGI has
determined that it acts as a principal for all of its performance
obligations in connection with all revenue earned as PTGI may
accept or reject calls, determines the routing decision and routing
vendor and has the risk of financial loss on revenues from
customers and amounts owed to the vendors. Net revenue represents
gross revenue, net of allowance for doubtful accounts receivable,
service credits and service adjustments. Cost of revenue includes
network costs that consist of access, transport and termination
costs. The majority of PTGI’s cost of revenue is variable,
primarily based upon minutes of use, with transmission and
termination costs being the most significant expense.
Fair Value Measurements and Fair Value of Financial
Instruments
Accounting
Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, clarifies the
definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair
value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the
inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level
1: Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for
identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement
date.
Level
2: Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and
liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or
similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active,
inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs
derived from or corroborated by observable market
data.
Level
3: Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting
entity's own assumptions on what assumptions the market
participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on
the best available information.
The
estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including
all current liabilities are carried at historical cost basis, which
approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of
these instruments.
ASC
subtopic 825-10, Financial
Instruments ("ASC 825-10") requires disclosure of the fair
value of certain financial instruments. The carrying value of cash
and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities as
reflected in the balance sheets, approximate fair value because of
the short-term maturity of these instruments. All other significant
financial assets, financial liabilities and equity instruments of
the Company are either recognized or disclosed in the financial
statements together with other information relevant for making a
reasonable assessment of future cash flows, interest rate risk and
credit risk. Where practicable the fair values of financial assets
and financial liabilities have been determined and disclosed;
otherwise only available information pertinent to fair value has
been disclosed.
The
Company follows ASC subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
("ASC 820-10") and ASC 825-10, which permits entities to choose to
measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair
value.
Derivative Liability
The
Company evaluates convertible instruments, options, warrants or
other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded
components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be
separately accounted for under ASC Topic 815, "Derivatives and
Hedging”. The result of this accounting treatment is that the
fair value of the derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet
date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value
is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in
the statement of operations as other income (expense). Upon
conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument
is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair
value is reclassified to equity. Equity instruments that are
initially classified as equity that become subject to
reclassification under ASC Topic 815 are reclassified to
liabilities at the fair value of the instrument on the
reclassification date. The Company has embedded features that are
classified as derivative liabilities. As of December 31, 2020 and
2019, the Company had $749,600 and $0 in derivative liabilities,
respectively.
Stock Based Compensation
The
Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with the
provisions of FASB ASC Topic 718, “Accounting for Stock
Compensation,” which establishes accounting standards
for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity
instruments for goods or services. In accordance with guidance
provided under ASC Topic 718, the Company recognizes an expense for
the fair value of its stock awards at the time of grant and the
fair value of its outstanding stock options as they vest, whether
held by employees or others. During the year ended December 31,
2020, the Company issued options indexed to 20,500,000 shares of
common stock. As of December 31, 2020, the Company recorded
$2,326,298 in stock-based compensation expense related to these
options.
Convertible Debentures
If the
conversion features of conventional convertible debt provide for a
rate of conversion that is below market value at issuance, this
feature is characterized as a beneficial conversion feature
("BCF"). A BCF is recorded by the Company as a debt discount
pursuant to ASC Topic 470-20 "Debt
with Conversion and Other Options". In those circumstances,
the convertible debt is recorded net of the discount related to the
BCF, and the Company amortizes the discount to interest expense,
over the life of the debt. During the year ended December 31, 2020,
the Company issued convertible notes resulting in a beneficial
conversion feature in the amount of $3,439,874.
Inflation
We
believe that inflation has not had a material adverse impact on our
business or operating results during the periods
presented.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Our Telecommunications
Division
Our Telecommunications division
(“Telecommunications”) has provided termination of both
voice and data to Carriers and Mobile Network Operators (MNO's)
globally for over two decades and we will selectively add
profitable products and services to this long-established
business.
Operations of PTGi
PTGi is
a global wholesale telecommunications provider offering both
international and U.S. domestic voice termination. PTGi provides
customers with internet-protocol-based and time-division
multiplexing ("TDM") access for the transport of long-distance
voice and data minutes.
Network of PTGi
PTGi
operates a global telecommunications network consisting of domestic
switching and related peripheral equipment, carrier-grade routers
and switches for internet and circuit-based services. To ensure
high-quality communications services, our network employs digital
switching and fiber optic technologies, incorporates the use of
voice-over-internet protocols, SS7/C7 signaling and is supported by
comprehensive network monitoring and technical support
services.
Foreign Carrier Agreements
In
select countries where competition with traditional post telegraph
and telecommunications companies ("PTTs") are limited, we have
entered into foreign carrier agreements with other PTTS, or similar
service providers to provide traffic into these countries and
receive such countries’ traffic in return. We maintain
relations with over 200 PTTs, or similar providers through, all of
which are at will arrangements.
Network Management and
Control
PTGi
owns and operates network management systems in Ashburn, Virginia
to monitor and control our switching systems, global data network,
and other digital transmission equipment. Additional network
monitoring, network management, and traffic management services are
supported from our network management centers located in Guatemala
City, Guatemala and Bucharest, Romania. The network management
control centers provide 24/7 online service.
Sales and Marketing
We
market our services offered by PTGi, as summarized
below:
Trade
Shows
We
attend industry trade shows around the globe throughout the year.
At each trade show, we market to both existing and potential new
customers through prearranged meetings, social gatherings and
networking.
Business Development
Our
sales team focuses on developing our business potential and
communicating the value of our Communications division
globally.
Management Information and Billing Systems
We
operate management information networks and customer billing
systems supporting the functions of network and traffic management
and customer service and billing. For financial reporting, we
consolidate information from each of our markets reach through
PTGi’s services.
We
believe that our financial reporting and billing systems with
relation to PTGi are generally adequate to meet our business needs.
However, in the future, we may determine PTGi’s operation
require us to invest additional capital to purchase hardware and
software, or license more specialized software to increase our
capacity.
Competition of PTGI
Long Distance
We face
significant competition as we attempt to expand our business from
other telecommunications carriers and resellers. We compete on the
basis of price, service quality, financial strength, relationship
and presence. Sales of wholesale long-distance voice minutes are
generated by connecting one telecommunications operator to another
and charging a fee to do so.
Over-the- top(“OTT”) Applications
OTT
Applications, such as WhatsApp, Skype, and FaceTime, continue to
impact our long distance business model. There can be no assurance
that the current declines in the long distance business globally
driven by these applications will not increase; or that our
business will not be impacted by the increased consumer adoption of
such applications globally.
Government Regulation of
PTGi
We are
subject to varying degrees of regulation in each of the
jurisdictions in which it operates. Local laws and regulations, and
the interpretation of such laws and regulations, differ among those
jurisdictions. There can be no assurance that (i) future
regulatory, judicial and legislative changes or activities will not
have a material adverse effect on us; or, (ii) domestic or
international regulators or third parties will not raise material
issues with regard to our regulatory compliance.
Regulation
impacting the telecommunications industry continues to change
rapidly in many jurisdictions. Privacy related laws and
regulations, such as the EU’s GDPR, as well as privatization,
deregulation, changes in regulation, consolidation, and
technological change have had, and will continue to have,
significant effects on the industry. Although we believe that
deregulation with respect to portions of the telecommunications
industry will continue and create opportunities for firms such as
us, there can be no assurance that deregulation will continue, or
if any regulatory changes implemented would benefit
us.
As of
December 31, 2020, we have implemented the following regulatory
framework in our operating services offered through
PTGi:
United States
In the
United States, our Communication division services are subject to
the provisions of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Communications Act"), and other federal laws, rules, and orders of
the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") regulations, and the
applicable laws and regulations of the various states.
International Service Regulation
The FCC
has jurisdiction over common carrier services linking points in the
U.S. to points in other countries and we provide such
services. Providers of such international common carrier services
must obtain authority from the FCC under Section 214 of the
Communications Act. We have obtained the authorizations required to
use, on a facilities-based and resale basis, various transmission
media for the provision of international switched services and
international private line services on a non-dominant carrier
basis. The FCC is considering a number of possible changes to its
rules governing international common carriers. We cannot predict
how the FCC will resolve those issues or how its decisions will
affect our international business. FCC rules permit non-dominant
carriers such as ourselves to offer some services on a de-tariffed
basis, to complete to provide consumers with lower rates and
choices among carriers and services.
Domestic Service Regulation
With
respect to our domestic Communications services, PTGi is considered
a non-dominant interstate carrier subject to regulation by the FCC.
FCC rules provide us significant authority to initiate or expand
its domestic interstate operations, but we are required to obtain
FCC approval to assume control of another telecommunications
carrier or its assets, to transfer control of our operations to
another entity, or to discontinue service. We are also required to
file various reports and pay various fees and assessments to the
FCC and various state commissions. Among other things, interstate
common carriers must offer service on a nondiscriminatory basis at
just and reasonable rates. The FCC has jurisdiction to hear
complaints regarding our compliance or non-compliance with these
and other requirements of the Communications Act and the
FCC’s rules. Among other regulations, we subject to the
Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act ("CALEA") and
associated FCC regulations which require telecommunications
carriers to configure their networks to facilitate law enforcement
authorities to perform electronic surveillance.
In
April 2019, FCC rules relating to the completion of calls to rural
areas became effective. These rules require certain providers of
retail long distance voice service to generate and retain various
records regarding completion of calls to rural areas. Specifically,
the rules require those providers to collect and retain information
on long-distance call attempts such as, but not limited to, the
called number, the date and time of the call, and the use of an
intermediate provider. The rules also prohibit false audible
ringing (the premature triggering of audible ring tones to the
caller before the call setup request has reached the terminating
service provider). While we are not directly subject to these
rules, we may function as an intermediate provider within the
meaning of these rules, which may require as to provide information
to its customers regarding calls that it carries on their behalf.
In addition, under Section 262 to the Communications Act of 1934,
intermediate providers, such as ourselves must register with the
FCC and meet certain quality standards (now embodied in the
FCC’s rules).
Interstate
and international telecommunications carriers are required to
contribute to the federal Universal Service Fund ("USF"). Carriers
providing wholesale telecommunications services are not required to
contribute with respect to services sold to customers that provide
a written certification that the customers themselves will make the
required contributions. If the FCC or the USF Administrator were to
determine that the USF reporting for the Company, including our
Communications services, are not accurate or in compliance with FCC
rules, er could be subject to additional contributions, as well as
to monetary fines and penalties. In addition, the FCC may revise
its USF contribution mechanisms and the services considered when
calculating the contribution. We cannot predict the outcome of any
such revisions or their potential effect on our contribution
obligations. Some changes to the USF under consideration by the FCC
may affect certain entities more than others, and we may be
disadvantaged as compared to its competitors as a result of FCC
decisions regarding USF. In addition, the FCC may extend the
obligation to contribute to the USF to certain services that PTGi
offers but that are not currently assessed USF
contributions.
FCC
rules require providers that originate interstate or intrastate
traffic on or destined for the public switched telephone network
("PSTN") to transmit the telephone number associated with the
calling party to the next provider in the call path. Intermediate
providers, such as ourselves, must pass calling party number
("CPN") or charge number ("CN") signaling information they receive
from other providers unaltered, to subsequent providers in the call
path. While we believe that we are in compliance with this rule, to
the extent that it passes traffic that does not have appropriate
CPN or CN information, we could be subject to fines, cease and
desist orders, or other penalties.
Our Infrastructure Division
Our Infrastructure
division (“Infrastructure”) has a primary
focus on two fast growing sectors: EV charging,
and Telecommunications Network 5G, including cell tower, small
cell, and in-building applications. Solutions
for these two sectors include: Design and
Engineering, Equipment specification and

Infrastructure Products
Charge
Infrastructure began deploying docks and charging stations in Paris
in June 2020 and intends to expand that presence, with the goal of
deploying GetCharged's unique docking and charging stations in
locations over the next 18 months. Charge plans to roll out its
newly evolved stations, which are powered from the existing
electrical grid and require no battery swapping.
Charge
Infrastructure has entered into a manufacturing and supply
agreement with Quebec-based Poitras Industries Inc. to produce and
manufacture its micro-mobility charging and docking
stations.
GetCharged
has a partnership with Reef Technologies and several smaller
operators.
Our

and government sectors.,
Charge Powerbanks
We made a strategic investment of $100,000 into British EV charging
manufacturer Connected Kerb Limited for a minority equity stake. As
part of the strategic investment, subject to certain terms and
conditions, we obtained a 3 year exclusive right of first refusal
for all of Connected Kerbs future installations in North America.
Connected Kerb’s installation footprint currently reaches
across the U.K.
Infrastructures’ vision is to launch powerbanks in North
America in Q2 under our own brand Charge Powerbanks with plans to
expand this service to other countries.

competition from other installers and the manufactures
themselves.
Government Regulation
Charge
Infrastructure is subject to varying degrees of regulation in each
of the jurisdictions in which it operates. Local laws and
regulations, and the interpretation of such laws and regulations,
differ among those jurisdictions. There can be no assurance that:
(1) future regulatory, judicial and legislative changes will not
have a material adverse effect on us; (2) domestic or international
regulators or third parties will not raise material issues with
regard to its compliance with applicable regulations; or (3)
regulatory activities will not have a material adverse effect on
it.
Regulation
impacting the greater EV industry continues to change rapidly in
many jurisdictions which may affect the businesses advantageously
or adversely depending on the decisions made.
Our Investment Division
Charge Investment
Charge
Investment (“Investment”) focuses on opportunities
related to our global portfolio to expand our vision’s
impact. We aim to invest in opportunities that would complement our
two operating divisions in addition to marketable securities,
including money markets funds and other listed securities. Our
Investment services are aimed at offsetting the overall cost of
capital. Regulation impacting the greater EV industry continues to
change rapidly in many jurisdictions which may affect the
businesses advantageously or adversely depending on the decisions
made.
In addition to investing in marketable securities, under the
advisory of KORR Acquisition Group, Inc. (a related party and
shareholder), Charge Investments invests in limited private
investments in certain businesses that it finds to be
opportunistic. In this regard, during the fourth quarter, Charge
invested in Oblong, Inc., a provider of patented
multi-stream collaboration technologies and managed services for
video collaboration and network applications, through a private
placement. Our arrangement with KORR is at will, and any
compensation that we may determine to pay to KORR for its advisory
services will be made based upon the approval of such arrangements
by the independent members on our board of directors, subject to
approval by the entire board, and not more than industry standards.
In connection with such services, KORR shall be granted
discretionary authority, without prop consultation with the
Company, to buy, sell, trade and allocate in and among stocks,
bonds and other securities and/or contracts relating to the same,
or otherwise, and to provide instructions in furtherance of such
authority, provided the value of the Assets shall not exceed 20% of
the Company's total assets.
We
currently intend to keep our investment opportunities to less than
20% of our assets, and of that, less than 5% in illiquid
assets. We continuously monitor and review the value of our
investments, including, but not limited to conducting a
mark-to-market valuation of our investments on a weekly basis, and,
if ever we exceed 20%, we will liquidate marketable securities to
stay within our intended maximum investment of 20% of our total
assets.
Corporate History and Information
We were
incorporated in the state of Nevada on May 8, 2003 under the name
“E-Education Network, Inc.” On August 10, 2005 we have
changed our name to “GoIP Global, Inc.” On December 27,
2017, we redomiciled from Nevada to Colorado. On October 1, 2020,
we converted from a Colorado corporation to a Delaware corporation
and in connection with such conversion changed our name to
“Transworld Holdings, Inc.” As of January 26, 2021, our
name has been further changed to “Charge Enterprises,
Inc.”
On
April 30, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire
100% of the outstanding equity interests of Transworld Enterprises
pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement, dated April 30, 2020, by
and among the Company, Transworld Enterprises and the shareholders
of Transworld Enterprises. The transactions contemplated by the
Share Exchange Agreement closed on May 8, 2020. In accordance with
the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company acquired all of the
outstanding shares of Transworld Enterprises in exchange for
1,000,000 shares of each of the Company’s Series D and Series
F preferred stock. The series D preferred stock was convertible
into 80% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of
common stock upon consummation of a reverse stock split and voted
on an as-converted basis. The series F preferred stock is
convertible into 80% of the Company’s issued and outstanding
shares of common stock at any time at the option of the holder and
votes on an as-converted basis.
On July
13, 2020, the Board of Directors of the Company approved, subject
to shareholder approval, (i) a Plan of Conversion, pursuant to
which the Company will convert from a corporation incorporated
under the laws of the State of Colorado to a corporation
incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware, and such
approval includes the adoption of the Certificate of Incorporation
and the Bylaws for the Company under the laws of the State of
Delaware, and a change in the name of the Company from “GoIP
Global, Inc.” to “Transworld Holdings, Inc.”,
each of which became effective concurrently with the effectiveness
of the Reincorporation and (ii) a reverse stock split of our
outstanding common stock in a ratio of one-for-five hundred
(1:500), which became effective immediately prior to the
effectiveness of the Reincorporation. On October 1, 2020, we filed
articles of amendment with the Colorado Secretary of State to
effectuate the Reverse Stock Split. Immediately thereafter, we
completed the Reincorporation by filing our new Certificate of
Incorporation with the State of Delaware.
On
September 25, 2020, we entered into a stock acquisition agreement
with the shareholders of GetCharged pursuant to which we agreed to
acquire 100% of the outstanding voting securities of GetCharged in
exchange for 60,000,000 shares of our common stock. The closing of
the GetCharged acquisition occurred on October 12,
2020.
On October 2, 2020, we entered into a stock purchase agreement with
the shareholders of PTGi pursuant to which we agreed to acquire
100% of the outstanding voting securities of PTGi in consideration
for $892,000. The closing of the PTGi acquisition occurred on
October 31, 2020.
Our
wholly-owned subsidiary, Charge Infrastructure, Inc., entered into
a securities purchase agreement, dated May 7, 2021, with the
shareholders of Nextridge, Inc., a New York corporation
(“Nextridge”) pursuant to which we agreed to purchase
all the issued and outstanding shares of Nextridge for an aggregate
purchase price of $19,798,324 (the “Nextridge
Acquisition”). $6,850,000.00 of the aggregate purchase price
payable to the shareholders of Nextridge will be payable through

Employees
As of September 30, 2021, we had 219 employees. Many of our activities are outsourced to
consultants who provide services to us on a project basis. As
business activities require and capital resources permit, we will
hire additional employees to fulfill our company’s
needs.
Properties
We do
not own real properties. Our principal executive offices are
located at 125 Park Avenue, 25th Floor, New York, NY 10017. We
lease our virtual office for approximately $140.00 per month
pursuant to a lease which terminates on February 29, 2022, provided
if either party does not terminate the agreement within (30) days
prior to the end of the initial term, the lease shall automatically
renew for successive one (1) month periods on the same terms. We
believe that our existing facilities are suitable and adequate to
meet our current needs. We intend to add new facilities or expand
existing facilities as we add employees, and we believe that
suitable additional or substitute space will be available as needed
to accommodate any such expansion of our operations.
Nextridge Corporate leased offices are located at 12 Elmwood Road,
Albany, New York 12204-3025. The lease commenced May 21, 2021 and
ends May 21, 2026. The monthly lease cost is $9,000.59 per month
with an incremental increase of 2% per year after the first year.
Nextridge also leases warehouses at 7099 Huntley Road Unit 103,
Columbus, Ohio 43215, and 2100 Byberry Road, Philadelphia, PA
19116. The Huntly Road lease commenced on May 1, 2021, with a
monthly payment of $5,000, and terminates on April 30, 2022. The
Byberry Road lease commenced on May 1, 2019, with a lease cost of
$1,900 per month. The lease is renewable on one-year terms with an
increase of 3%. All three of these existing facilities are adequate
to meet the current needs of the business.
Get Charged leases warehouse space at 1900 The Exchange, Suite 410,
Atlanta Georgia 30339. The lease commenced August 1, 2021, for a
term of 6 months. The lease payments are $1000 per month. The lease
term may be extended by agreement of the parties. The company uses
the warehouse to hold charging kiosks and charging banks prior to
installation at customer sites. The location and size of the
facility is adequate for the needs of the business’ current
operation.
Legal Proceedings
The
Company is subject to claims and legal proceedings that arise in
the ordinary course of business. Such matters are inherently
uncertain, and there can be no guarantee that the outcome of any
such matter will be decided favorably to the Company or that the
resolution of any such matter will not have a material adverse
effect upon the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company does not believe that any of such pending claims and
legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect on its
Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company records a liability
in its Consolidated Financial Statements for these matters when a
loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be
reasonably estimated. The Company reviews these estimates each
accounting period as additional information is known and adjusts
the loss provision when appropriate. If a matter is both probable
to result in a liability and the amounts of loss can be reasonably
estimated, the Company estimates and discloses the possible loss or
range of loss to the extent necessary for its Consolidated
Financial Statements not to be misleading. If the loss is not
probable or cannot be reasonably estimated, a liability is not
recorded in its Consolidated Financial Statements.
Set
forth below is a description of the Company’s Legal
Proceedings.
On
April 5, 2021, Go2tel.com, Inc. (“Go2tel”), a wholly
owned subsidiary of PTGI, was named as one of the defendants in an
adversary proceeding brought by the Chapter 7 Trustee in the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California, Los
Angeles Division (Case No. 2:21-ap-01044-BR) in connection with the
Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceeding (the “Litigation”) for
VoIP Guardian Partners I, LLC (the “Debtor”). The
Litigation alleges, among other things, that certain fraudulent
payments were made to Go2tel in an amount of $11,784,945.64 over a
period beginning April 20, 2016 and ending January 25, 2018 in
order to defraud creditors of the Debtor. PTGI has sought defense
costs and indemnification related to the Litigation under the terms
of a Stock Purchase Agreement ("SPA") related to PTGI’s
acquisition of Go2tel from the sellers of such business (the
“Sellers”) which closed in November 2018. The Company
denies these allegations and intends to defend the case vigorously.
On September 21, 2021, the court
granted Go2tel’s motion to dismiss. As a result, Go2Tel is no
longer a party to the Litigation.
The
following table sets forth the names, ages, and biographical
information of each of our current directors and executive
officers, and the positions with the Company held by each person.

Director Independence
Our securities are currently not listed on a national securities
exchange or on any inter-dealer quotation system, which has a
requirement that a majority of directors be independent. We
evaluate independence by the standards for director independence
set forth in the rules and regulations of the SEC and the rules of
the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”). Under such
rules, our board of directors has determined that other than Mr.
Fox, Mr. Denson and Mr. Deutsch, the other members of our board of
directors, which include Mr. Scala, Mr. Murphy, Mr. Davis,
and Mr. Carson Jr., are independent directors in
accordance with Nasdaq rules. In making such independence
determination, our board of directors considered the relationships
that each non-employee director has with us and all other facts and
circumstances that our board of directors deemed relevant in
determining their independence. We expect to
transition the composition and functioning of our board of
directors and each of our committees to comply with all applicable
requirements of Nasdaq and the rules and regulations of the
SEC, including having a Board comprised of a majority of
independent directors.

Description of 2020 Plan
Types of
Awards.
The
2020 Plan provides for the issuance of incentive stock options,
non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights
(“SARs”), restricted stock, restricted stock units
(“RSUs”), and other stock-based awards. Items described
above in the Section called “Shares Available; Certain
Limitations” are incorporated herein by
reference.
Administration.
The
2020 Plan will be administered by our Board of Directors, or if our
Board of Directors does not administer the 2020 Plan, a committee
or subcommittee of our Board of Directors that complies with the
applicable requirements of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and any
other applicable legal or stock exchange listing requirements (each
of our Board of Directors or such committee or subcommittee, the
“plan administrator”). The plan administrator may
interpret the 2020 Plan and may prescribe, amend and rescind rules
and make all other determinations necessary or desirable for the
administration of the 2020 Plan, provided that, subject to the
equitable adjustment provisions described below, the plan
administrator will not have the authority to reprice or cancel and
re-grant any award at a lower exercise, base or purchase price or
cancel any award with an exercise, base or purchase price in
exchange for cash, property or other awards without first obtaining
the approval of our stockholders.
The
2020 Plan permits the plan administrator to select the eligible
recipients who will receive awards, to determine the terms and
conditions of those awards, including, but not limited to, the
exercise price or other purchase price of an award, the number of
shares of common stock or cash or other property subject to an
award, the term of an award and the vesting schedule applicable to
an award, and to amend the terms and conditions of outstanding
awards.
Restricted Stock and Restricted
Stock Units.
Restricted
stock and RSUs may be granted under the 2020 Plan. The plan
administrator will determine the purchase price, vesting schedule
and performance goals, if any, and any other conditions that apply
to a grant of restricted stock and RSUs. If the restrictions,
performance goals or other conditions determined by the plan
administrator are not satisfied, the restricted stock and RSUs will
be forfeited. Subject to the provisions of the 2020 Plan and the
applicable award agreement, the plan administrator has the sole
discretion to provide for the lapse of restrictions in
installments.
Unless
the applicable award agreement provides otherwise, participants
with restricted stock will generally have all of the rights of a
stockholder; provided that dividends will only be paid if and when
the underlying restricted stock vests. RSUs will not be entitled to
dividends prior to vesting, but may be entitled to receive dividend
equivalents if the award agreement provides for them. The rights of
participants granted restricted stock or RSUs upon the termination
of employment or service to us will be set forth in the award
agreement.
Options.
Incentive stock options and non-statutory stock options may
be granted under the 2020 Plan. An “incentive stock
option” means an option intended to qualify for tax treatment
applicable to incentive stock options under Section 422 of the
Code. A “non-statutory stock option” is an option that
is not subject to statutory requirements and limitations required
for certain tax advantages that are allowed under specific
provisions of the Code. A non-statutory stock option under the 2020
Plan is referred to for federal income tax purposes as a
“non-qualified” stock option. Each option granted under
the 2020 Plan will be designated as a non-qualified stock option or
an incentive stock option. At the discretion of the administrator,
incentive stock options may be granted only to our employees,
employees of our “parent corporation” (as such term is
defined in Section 424(e) of the Code) or employees of our
subsidiaries.
The
exercise period of an option may not exceed ten years from the date
of grant and the exercise price may not be less than 100% of the
fair market value of a share of common stock on the date the option
is granted (110% of fair market value in the case of incentive
stock options granted to ten percent stockholders). The exercise
price for shares of common stock subject to an option may be paid
in cash, or as determined by the plan administrator in its sole
discretion, (i) through any cashless exercise procedure approved by
the plan administrator (including the withholding of shares of
common stock otherwise issuable upon exercise), (ii) by tendering
unrestricted shares of common stock owned by the participant, (iii)
with any other form of consideration approved by the plan
administrator and permitted by applicable law or (iv) by any
combination of these methods. The option holder will have no rights
to dividends or distributions or other rights of a stockholder with
respect to the shares of common stock subject to an option until
the option holder has given written notice of exercise and paid the
exercise price and applicable withholding taxes.
In the
event of a participant’s termination of employment or
service, the participant may exercise his or her option (to the
extent vested as of such date of termination) for such period of
time as specified in his or her option agreement.
Stock Appreciation
Rights.
SARs
may be granted either alone (a “free-standing SAR”) or
in conjunction with all or part of any option granted under the
2020 Plan (a “tandem SAR”). A free-standing SAR will
entitle its holder to receive, at the time of exercise, an amount
per share up to the excess of the fair market value (at the date of
exercise) of a share of common stock over the base price of the
free-standing SAR (which shall be no less than 100% of the fair
market value of the related shares of common stock on the date of
grant) multiplied by the number of shares in respect of which the
SAR is being exercised. A tandem SAR will entitle its holder to
receive, at the time of exercise of the SAR and surrender of the
applicable portion of the related option, an amount per share up to
the excess of the fair market value (at the date of exercise) of a
share of common stock over the exercise price of the related option
multiplied by the number of shares in respect of which the SAR is
being exercised. The exercise period of a free-standing SAR may not
exceed ten years from the date of grant. The exercise period of a
tandem SAR will also expire upon the expiration of its related
option.
The
holder of a SAR will have no rights to dividends or any other
rights of a stockholder with respect to the shares of common stock
subject to the SAR until the holder has given written notice of
exercise and paid the exercise price and applicable withholding
taxes.
In the
event of a participant’s termination of employment or
service, the holder of a SAR may exercise his or her SAR (to the
extent vested as of such date of termination) for such period of
time as specified in his or her SAR agreement.
Other Stock-Based
Awards.
The
plan administrator may grant other stock-based awards under the
2020 Plan, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise
based on, shares of common stock. The plan administrator will
determine the terms and conditions of these awards, including the
number of shares of common stock to be granted pursuant to each
award, the manner in which the award will be settled, and the
conditions to the vesting and payment of the award (including the
achievement of performance goals). The rights of participants
granted other stock-based awards upon the termination of employment
or service to us will be set forth in the applicable award
agreement. In the event that a bonus is granted in the form of
shares of common stock, the shares of common stock constituting
such bonus shall, as determined by the administrator, be evidenced
in uncertificated form or by a book entry record or a certificate
issued in the name of the participant to whom such grant was made
and delivered to such participant as soon as practicable after the
date on which such bonus is payable. Any dividend or dividend
equivalent award issued hereunder shall be subject to the same
restrictions, conditions and risks of forfeiture as apply to the
underlying award.
Equitable Adjustment and Treatment
of Outstanding Awards Upon a Change in Control
Equitable Adjustments.
In the
event of a merger, consolidation, reclassification,
recapitalization, spin-off, spin-out, repurchase, reorganization,
special or extraordinary dividend or other extraordinary
distribution (whether in the form of common stock, cash or other
property), combination, exchange of shares, or other change in
corporate structure affecting our common stock, an equitable
substitution or proportionate adjustment shall be made in (i) the
aggregate number and kind of securities reserved for issuance under
the 2020 Plan, (ii) the kind and number of securities subject to,
and the exercise price of, any outstanding options and SARs granted
under the 2020 Plan, (iii) the kind, number and purchase price of
shares of common stock, or the amount of cash or amount or type of
property, subject to outstanding restricted stock, RSUs and other
stock-based awards granted under the 2020 Plan and (iv) the terms
and conditions of any outstanding awards (including any applicable
performance targets). Equitable substitutions or adjustments other
than those listed above may also be made as determined by the plan
administrator. In addition, the plan administrator may terminate
all outstanding awards for the payment of cash or in-kind
consideration having an aggregate fair market value equal to the
excess of the fair market value of the shares of common stock, cash
or other property covered by such awards over the aggregate
exercise price, if any, of such awards, but if the exercise price
of any outstanding award is equal to or greater than the fair
market value of the shares of common stock, cash or other property
covered by such award, the plan administrator may cancel the award
without the payment of any consideration to the participant. With
respect to awards subject to foreign laws, adjustments will be made
in compliance with applicable requirements. Except to the extent
determined by the plan administrator, adjustments to incentive
stock options will be made only to the extent not constituting a
“modification” within the meaning of Section 424(h)(3)
of the Code.
Change in Control.
The
2020 Plan provides that, unless otherwise determined by the plan
administrator and evidenced in an award agreement, if a
“change in control” (as defined below) occurs and a
participant is employed by us or any of our affiliates immediately
prior to the consummation of the change in control, then the plan
administrator, in its sole and absolute discretion, may (i) provide
that any unvested or unexercisable portion of an award carrying a
right to exercise will become fully vested and exercisable; and
(ii) cause the restrictions, deferral limitations, payment
conditions and forfeiture conditions applicable to any award
granted under the 2020 Plan to lapse, and the awards will be deemed
fully vested and any performance conditions imposed with respect to
such awards will be deemed to be fully achieved at target
performance levels. The plan administrator shall have discretion in
connection with such change in control to provide that all
outstanding and unexercised options and SARs shall expire upon the
consummation of such change in control.
For
purposes of the 2020 Plan, a “change in control” means,
in summary, the first to occur of the following events: (i) a
person or entity becomes the beneficial owner of more than 50% of
our voting power; (ii) an unapproved change in the majority
membership of our Board of Directors; (iii) a merger or
consolidation of us or any of our subsidiaries, other than (A) a
merger or consolidation that results in our voting securities
continuing to represent 50% or more of the combined voting power of
the surviving entity or its parent and our Board of Directors
immediately prior to the merger or consolidation continuing to
represent at least a majority of the Board of Directors of the
surviving entity or its parent or (B) a merger or consolidation
effected to implement a recapitalization in which no person is or
becomes the beneficial owner of our voting securities representing
more than 50% of our combined voting power; or (iv) stockholder
approval of a plan of our complete liquidation or dissolution or
the consummation of an agreement for the sale or disposition of
substantially all of our assets, other than (A) a sale or
disposition to an entity, more than 50% of the combined voting
power of which is owned by our stockholders in substantially the
same proportions as their ownership of us immediately prior to such
sale or (B) a sale or disposition to an entity controlled by our
Board of Directors. However, a change in control will not be deemed
to have occurred as a result of any transaction or series of
integrated transactions following which our stockholders,
immediately prior thereto, hold immediately afterward the same
proportionate equity interests in the entity that owns all or
substantially all of our assets.
Tax Withholding
Each
participant will be required to make arrangements satisfactory to
the plan administrator regarding payment of up to the maximum
statutory tax rates in the participant’s applicable
jurisdiction with respect to any award granted under the 2020 Plan,
as determined by us. We have the right, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any
kind otherwise due to the participant. With the approval of the
plan administrator, the participant may satisfy the foregoing
requirement by either electing to have us withhold from delivery of
shares of common stock, cash or other property, as applicable, or
by delivering already owned unrestricted shares of common stock, in
each case, having a value not exceeding the applicable taxes to be
withheld and applied to the tax obligations. We may also use any
other method of obtaining the necessary payment or proceeds, as
permitted by applicable law, to satisfy our withholding obligation
with respect to any award.
Amendment and Termination of the 2020 Plan
The
2020 Plan provides our Board of Directors with authority to amend,
alter or terminate the 2020 Plan, but no such action impair the
rights of any participant with respect to outstanding awards
without the participant’s consent. The plan administrator may
amend an award, prospectively or retroactively, but no such
amendment may materially impair the rights of any participant
without the participant’s consent. Stockholder approval of
any such action will be obtained if required to comply with
applicable law. The 2020 Plan will terminate on the tenth
anniversary of the Effective Date (although awards granted before
that time will remain outstanding in accordance with their
terms).
Clawback.
If we
are required to prepare a financial restatement due to the material
non-compliance with any financial reporting requirement, then the
plan administrator may require any Section 16 officer to repay or
forfeit to us that part of the cash or equity incentive
compensation received by that Section 16 officer during the
preceding three years that the plan administrator determines was in
excess of the amount that such Section 16 officer would have
received had such cash or equity incentive compensation been
calculated based on the financial results reported in the restated
financial statement. The plan administrator may take into account
any factors it deems reasonable in determining whether to seek
recoupment of previously paid cash or equity incentive compensation
and how much of such compensation to recoup from each Section 16
officer (which need not be the same amount or proportion for each
Section 16 officer). The amount and form of the incentive
compensation to be recouped shall be determined by the
administrator in its sole and absolute discretion.
New Plan Benefits
Future
grants under the 2020 Plan will be made at the discretion of the
plan administrator and, accordingly, are not yet determinable. In
addition, benefits under the 2020 Plan will depend on a number of
factors, including the fair market value of our common stock on
future dates and the exercise decisions made by participants.
Consequently, at this time, it is not possible to determine the
future benefits that might be received by participants receiving
discretionary grants under the 2020 Plan.
SECURITY
OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The
following table sets forth information as of November
14, 2021, as to each person or group who is known to us to
be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding voting
securities and as to the security and percentage ownership of each
of our executive officers and directors and of all of our officers
and directors as a group.
Beneficial
ownership is determined under the rules of the SEC and generally
includes voting or investment power over securities. Except in
cases where community property laws apply or as indicated in the
footnotes to this table, we believe that each stockholder
identified in the table possesses sole voting and investment power
over all shares of common stock shown as beneficially owned by the
stockholder. Shares of common stock that are currently exercisable
or convertible within 60 days of November 14, 2021 are
deemed to be beneficially owned by the person holding such
securities for the purpose of computing the percentage beneficial
ownership of that person, but are not treated as outstanding for
the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other
person. Except as otherwise indicated, the address of each
stockholder is c/o Charge Enterprises, Inc. at 125 Park Avenue,
25th Floor, New York, NY 10017.

SELLING SHAREHOLDERS
The
common stock being offered by the selling shareholders are those
previously issued to the selling shareholders, and those issuable
to the selling shareholders, upon conversion of the Notes and/or
exercise of the Warrants.
We are
registering the shares of common stock in order to permit the
selling shareholders to offer the shares for resale from time to
time. Except for the ownership of the securities by the selling
shareholders that were issued in the May 2020 private placement and
the November 2020 private placement, the selling shareholders have
not had any material relationship with us within the past three
years.
The
table below lists the selling shareholders and other information
regarding the beneficial ownership of the shares of common stock by
each of the selling shareholders. The second column lists the
number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each selling
shareholder, based on its ownership of our common stock, the Notes
and Warrants, as of November 14, 2021, assuming
conversion of the Notes and/or exercise of Warrants held by the
selling shareholders on that date, without regard to any
limitations on exercises.
The
third column lists the shares of common stock being offered by this
prospectus by the selling shareholders.
In
accordance with the terms of the registration rights agreement with
the selling shareholders, this prospectus generally covers the
resale of the sum of (i) the number of shares of common stock
issued to the selling shareholders, (ii) the maximum number of
shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes,
determined as if the outstanding notes were exercised in full as of
the trading day immediately preceding the date this registration
statement was initially filed with the SEC and (iii) the maximum
number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the
warrants, determined as if the outstanding warrants were exercised
in full as of the trading day immediately preceding the date this
registration statement was initially filed with the SEC, each as of
the trading day immediately preceding the applicable date of
determination and all subject to adjustment as provided in the
registration right agreement, without regard to any limitations on
the exercise of the warrants or conversion of the notes. The fourth
column assumes the sale of all of the shares offered by the selling
shareholders pursuant to this prospectus.
Under
the terms of the Notes and Warrants, a selling shareholder may not
exercise the notes and/or exercise the warrants to the extent such
exercise would cause such selling shareholder, together with its
affiliates and attribution parties, to beneficially own a number of
shares of common stock which would exceed 9.99% of our then
outstanding common stock following such conversion and/or exercise.
The number of shares in the second column does not reflect this
limitation.
The
selling shareholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in
this offering. See "Plan of Distribution."

Each
Selling Stockholder (the “Selling Stockholders”) of the
securities and any of their pledgees, assignees and
successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of
their securities covered hereby on the principal trading market or
any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the
securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales may
be at $2.75 per share until our shares are quoted on the OTCQX,
OTCQB or listed on a national securities exchange, and thereafter,
at fixed or negotiated prices. A Selling Stockholder may use any
one or more of the following methods when selling
securities:
●
ordinary
brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer
solicits purchasers;
●
block
trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the
securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the
block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
●
purchases
by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for
its account;
●
an
exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the
applicable exchange;
●
privately
negotiated transactions;
●
settlement
of short sales;
●
in
transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the Selling
Stockholders to sell a specified number of such securities at a
stipulated price per security;
●
through
the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions,
whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
●
a
combination of any such methods of sale; or
●
any
other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
The
Selling Stockholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 or any
other exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the “Securities Act”), if available, rather
than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers
engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other
brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive
commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any
broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from
the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set
forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency
transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in
compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal
transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA
IM-2440.
In
connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein,
the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with
broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn
engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging
the positions they assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell
securities short and deliver these securities to close out their
short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers
that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Stockholders
may also enter into option or other transactions with
broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or
more derivative securities which require the delivery to such
broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered
by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other
financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as
supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The
Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are
involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be
“underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act
in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions
received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the
resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be
underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.
Each Selling Stockholder has informed the Company that it does not
have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or
indirectly, with any person to distribute the
securities.
The
Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by
the Company incident to the registration of the securities. The
Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against
certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including
liabilities under the Securities Act.
We
agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i)
the date on which the securities may be resold by the Selling
Stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume
or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the
requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current
public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any
other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the securities have
been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the
Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale
securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers
or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In
addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered hereby
may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for
sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration
or qualification requirement is available and is complied
with.
Under
applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person
engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not
simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to
the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined
in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In
addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to applicable
provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of
purchases and sales of the common stock by the Selling Stockholders
or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus
available to the Selling Stockholders and have informed them of the
need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or
prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule
172 under the Securities Act).
There
can be no assurance that any Selling Stockholder will sell any or
all of the shares of common stock registered pursuant to the
registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a
part.
The
Selling Stockholders and any other person participating in such
distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including,
without limitation, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may
limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of
common stock by the Selling Stockholders and any other
participating person. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of
any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of common
stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the
shares of common stock. All of the foregoing may affect the
marketability of the shares of common stock and the ability of any
person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect
to the shares of common stock.
We will
indemnify the Selling Stockholders against liabilities, including
some liabilities under the Securities Act, in accordance with the
Registration Rights Agreement, or the Selling Stockholders will be
entitled to contribution. We may be indemnified by the Selling
Stockholders against civil liabilities, including liabilities under
the Securities Act, that may arise from any written information
furnished to us by the Selling Stockholder specifically for use in
this prospectus, in accordance with the Registration Rights
Agreement, or we may be entitled to contribution.

$0.0001 per share, of which 1,000,000 has been designated as Series
A Preferred Stock and 2,305,105 shares have been designated as
Series B Preferred Stock. As of November 14, 2021, there were
182,981,219 shares of
our common stock and
2,395,105 shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued and
outstanding.
Common Stock
Holders
of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share of
common stock held of record for the election of directors and on
all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Holders of our
common stock are entitled to receive dividends ratably, if any, as
may be declared by the Board out of legally available funds,
subject to any preferential dividend rights of any preferred stock
then outstanding. In the event of our dissolution, liquidation or
winding up, holders of our common stock are entitled to share
ratably in our net assets legally available after the payment of
all of our debts and other liabilities, subject to the liquidation
preferences of any preferred stock then outstanding. Holders of our
common stock have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or
conversion rights. The rights, preferences and privileges of
holders of common stock are subject to, and may be adversely
affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of
preferred stock currently outstanding or that we may designate and
issue in the future.
Preferred Stock
Our
Board is authorized, without action by the stockholders, to
designate and issue up to 10.0 million shares of preferred stock in
one or more series. Our Board can fix or alter the rights,
preferences and privileges of the shares of each series and any of
its qualifications, limitations or restrictions, including dividend
rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption,
liquidation preferences and the number of shares constituting a
class or series. The issuance of preferred stock could, under
certain circumstances, result in one or more of the following
adverse effects:
●
decreasing
the market price of our common stock;
●
restricting
dividends on our common stock;
●
diluting
the voting power of our common stock;
●
impairing
the liquidation rights of our common stock; or
●
delaying
or preventing a change in control of us without further action by
our stockholders.
Our
Board will make any determination to issue such shares based on its
judgment as to our best interests and the best interests of our
stockholders.
Series A Preferred Stock
Each
share of the Series A Preferred Stock shall convert, on one
occasion, at the sole option of the Holder into 12.5% of our
fully-diluted shares of common stock on the date of conversion.
Each Holder shall be entitled to the whole number of votes equal to
the number of shares of Common Stock into which such holder’s
Series A Preferred Stock would be convertible on the record date
for the vote or consent of stockholders, and shall otherwise have
voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of
the Common Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock shall rank senior
with respect to the preferences as to dividends, distributions and
payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the
Company and all other shares of capital stock of the Company shall
be junior in rank to all Series A Preferred Stock with respect to
the preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon
the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company.
On
October 28, 2021, all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred
Stock were converted into an aggregate of 30,754,896 shares of
common stock.
Series B Preferred Stock
Each
share of the Series B Preferred Stock shall convert, at the sole
option of the Holder, at any time or from time to time, into an
aggregate of 2,395,105 shares of common stock. Each Holder shall be
entitled to the whole number of votes equal to the number of shares
of Common Stock into which such holder’s Series B Preferred
Stock would be convertible on the record date for the vote or
consent of stockholders, and shall otherwise have voting rights and
powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the Common Stock.
Holders shall be entitled to receive cumulative dividends at the
rate per share of 4% per annum, payable quarterly on January 1,
April 1, July 1 and October 1, beginning on the first such date
after the Original Issue Date and on each Conversion Date (with
respect only to Preferred Stock being converted) in cash, or at the
Company’s option, in duly authorized, validly issued, fully
paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock. The Series B
Preferred Stock shall rank senior with respect to the preferences
as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation,
dissolution and winding up of the Company and all other shares of
capital stock of the Company, except for the Series A Preferred
Stock, shall be junior in rank to all Series B Preferred Stock with
respect to the preferences as to dividends, distributions and
payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the
Company. At any time on or after the first anniversary of the
Original Issue Date and until one hundred and eightieth
(180th) day following the date
on which all applicable holding periods or other similar
restrictions on the transfer of the Preferred Stock by the Holders
expire pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other
applicable law or regulation, or the Holding Period Expiration
Date, any Holder may elect to have all or any portion of such
Holder’s shares of Preferred Stock redeemed by the Company,
for an amount in cash equal to 100% of the Stated Value then
outstanding, (b) accrued but unpaid dividends and (c) other amounts
due in respect of the Series B Preferred, or the Redemption Amount.
In addition, on the one hundred and eightieth (180th) day following the Holding Period
Expiration Date (the “Mandatory Redemption
Date”), the Company shall redeem all of the then
outstanding shares of Series B Preferred for an amount in cash
equal to the Redemption Amount.
Anti-Takeover Effects of Certain Provisions of our Certificate of
Incorporation, Bylaws and the DGCL
Certain
provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, which
are summarized in the following paragraphs, may have the effect of
discouraging potential acquisition proposals or making a tender
offer or delaying or preventing a change in control, including
changes a stockholder might consider favorable. Such provisions may
also prevent or frustrate attempts by our stockholders to replace
or remove our management. In particular, the Certificate of
Incorporation and Bylaws and Delaware law, as applicable, among
other things:
●
provide
the board of directors with the ability to alter the bylaws without
stockholder approval;
●
place
limitations on the removal of directors; and
●
provide
that vacancies on the board of directors may be filled by a
majority of directors in office, although less than a
quorum.
These
provisions are expected to discourage certain types of coercive
takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids and to encourage
persons seeking to acquire control of our company to first
negotiate with its board. These provisions may delay or prevent
someone from acquiring or merging with us, which may cause the
market price of our common stock to decline.
Blank Check
Preferred.
The
Board is authorized to create and issue from time to time, without
stockholder approval, up to an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of
preferred stock in one or more series and to establish the number
of shares of any series of preferred stock and to fix the
designations, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each
series and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the
shares of each series.
The
authority to designate preferred stock may be used to issue series
of preferred stock, or rights to acquire preferred stock, that
could dilute the interest of, or impair the voting power of,
holders of the common stock or could also be used as a method of
determining, delaying or preventing a change of
control.
Advance Notice
Bylaws.
The
Bylaws contain an advance notice procedure for stockholder
proposals to be brought before any meeting of stockholders,
including proposed nominations of persons for election to the
Board. Stockholders at any meeting will only be able to consider
proposals or nominations specified in the notice of meeting or
brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board or
by a stockholder who was a stockholder of record on the record date
for the meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has
given the Company’s corporate secretary timely written
notice, in proper form, of the stockholder’s intention to
bring that business before the meeting. Although the Bylaws do not
give the Board the power to approve or disapprove stockholder
nominations of candidates or proposals regarding other business to
be conducted at a special or annual meeting, the Bylaws may have
the effect of precluding the conduct of certain business at a
meeting if the proper procedures are not followed or may discourage
or deter a potential acquiror from conducting a solicitation of
proxies to elect its own slate of directors or otherwise attempting
to obtain control of the Company.
Interested Stockholder
Transactions.
We are
subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law
which, subject to certain exceptions, prohibits “business
combinations” between a publicly-held Delaware corporation
and an “interested stockholder,” which is generally
defined as a stockholder who becomes a beneficial owner of 15% or
more of a Delaware corporation’s voting stock for a
three-year period following the date that such stockholder became
an interested stockholder.
Exclusive Forum
Our
bylaws provide that, unless we consent in writing to an alternative
forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if the
Court of Chancery does not have jurisdiction, the federal district
court for the District of Delaware) will be the exclusive forum
for: (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of
the Company; (ii) any action asserting a claim for breach of a
fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer, employee, or agent of
ours to us or our stockholders; (iii) any action asserting a claim
arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General
Corporation Law, the Certificate of Incorporation, or the bylaws;
and (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal
affairs doctrine (the “Delaware Forum Provision”). In
addition, our bylaws provide that any person or entity purchasing
or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our common stock
is deemed to have notice of and consented to the Delaware Forum
Provision. The Delaware Forum Provision will not apply to suits
brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities
Act, the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal
courts have exclusive jurisdiction. We recognize that the Delaware
Forum Provision in our bylaws may impose additional litigation
costs on stockholders in pursuing any such claims, particularly if
the stockholders do not reside in or near the State of Delaware.
Additionally, the Delaware Forum Provision may limit our
stockholders’ ability to bring a claim in a forum that they
find favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers or
employees, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our
directors, officers and employees even though an action, if
successful, might benefit our stockholders.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
Our
transfer agent and registrar for our capital stock is Manhattan
Transfer Registrar Company, whose address is 38B Sheep Pasture
Road, Port Jefferson, New York 11777.
CERTAIN
RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Other
than as disclosed below, during the last two fiscal years, there
have been no transactions, or proposed transactions, in which our
company was or is to be a participant where the amount involved
exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our
company’s total assets at year-end and in which any director,
executive officer or beneficial holder of more than 5% of the
outstanding common, or any of their respective relatives, spouses,
associates or affiliates, has had or will have any direct or
material indirect interest. We have no policy regarding entering
into transactions with affiliated parties.
As of
December 31, 2019, the balance in related party payables amounted
to $302,031. The Company had an oral agreement with the
Company’s former CEO (Isaac H. Sutton), who provided
management services through a private entity that he owns. On April
30, 2020 Isaac H. Sutton stepped down as CEO of the Company and is
no longer a related party. The related party payable was converted
to a convertible note payable in the amount of $300,000. The
balance of that convertible note payable as of December 31, 2020
was $227,525.
During
the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company's CEO Andrew Fox
advanced $40,000 in cash to the Company. The balance in related
party payable at December 31, 2020 was $40,000.
During
the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company’s former CEO
converted $100,000 of accrued management services into 375,000,000
shares of common stock.
In May
and June 2020, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with
KORR Value LP, an entity controlled by Kenneth Orr, pursuant to
which the Company issued convertible notes in an aggregate
principal amount of $550,000 for an aggregate purchase price of
$500,000 (collectively, the “KORR Notes”). In
connection with the issuance of the KORR Notes, we issued to KORR
Value warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,266,667 shares of
Common Stock (collectively, the “KORR Warrants”). The
KORR Notes and KORR Warrants are on substantially the same terms as
the Notes and Warrants issued to the May 2020 Investors except that
the KORR Notes are subordinated to the Notes. In June 2020, KORR
Value LP transferred 50% of the KORR Notes to PDG Venture Group
LLC.
Between
May 8, 2020 and September 30, 2020, the Company entered into
securities purchase agreements with other accredited investors (the
“Subordinated Creditors”) pursuant to which the Company
issued convertible notes in an aggregate principal amount of
$546,444 for an aggregate purchase price of $495,000 (collectively,
the “Subordinated Creditor Notes”). In connection with
the issuance of the Subordinated Creditor Notes, we issued to the
Subordinated Creditors warrants to purchase an aggregate of
2,359,555 shares of Common Stock (collectively, the
“Subordinated Creditor Warrants”). The Subordinated
Creditor Notes and Subordinated Creditor Warrants are on
substantially the same terms as the Notes and Warrants issued to
the May 2020 Investors except that the Subordinated Creditor Notes
are subordinated to the Notes. On September 2, 2020, Andrew Fox,
our CEO, purchased a Subordinated Creditor Note with an aggregate
principal amount of $110,000 and a Subordinated Creditor Warrant to
purchase 220,000 shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase
price of $100,000.
On
September 30, 2020, KORR Value LP, an entity controlled by Kenneth
Orr advanced the Company $75,000. There is no advance due on this
advance and it is payable on demand.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING
FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Charge Enterprises, Inc.
Results of Review of Interim Financial Information
We have reviewed the consolidated balance sheets of Charge
Enterprises, Inc. and subsidiary (the Company) as of
September
30, 2021, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
comprehensive income (loss), and stockholders equity and cash flows
for the nine-months ended September
30, 2021 and 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to
as the interim consolidated financial statements). Based on our
reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the accompanying interim consolidated financial
statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB),
the balance sheet of the Company at December 31, 2020, and the
related statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss),
changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year
the ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated July 13,
2021 (except for note 5
as to which the date is August 17, 2021),
we expressed an unqualified opinion on
those financial statements. In our opinion, the information set
forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December
31, 2020, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation
to the balance sheet from which it has been
derived.
Basis for Review Results
These interim consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company’s management. We conducted our
review in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of
interim financial information consists principally of applying
analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible
for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in
scope than an audit conducted in accordance with standards of the
PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion
regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly,
we do not express such an opinion. We are a public accounting firm
registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with
respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal
securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Charge
Enterprises, Inc. (“Charge Enterprises” (or the
"Company", formerly known as “Transworld Holdings,
Inc.” “GoIP Global, Inc.”, “GoIP”)
was incorporated on May 8, 2003 as E Education Network, Inc.
(“EEN”) under the laws of the State of Nevada. On
August 10, 2005, the Company’s name was changed to GoIP
Global, Inc. On December 28, 2017, the Company was redomiciled in
Colorado. On October 1, 2020, the Company was redomiciled to
Delaware and the name was changed to TransWorld Holdings,
Inc.
On April 30, 2020, the Company entered into a Share Exchange
Agreement with TransWorld Enterprises Inc. (“TW”), a
Delaware Corporation. As part of the exchange the Company has
agreed to issue 1,000,000 share of Series D Preferred Stock and
1,000,000 shares of Series F Preferred Stock in exchange for all
the equity interest of TW. TW, as a holding company, will focus on
acquiring controlling interests in profitable basic
businesses. Initially, TW focused on acquiring transportation
companies and simple manufacturing and or consumer products
businesses.
On July 13, 2020, the Board of Directors of the Company approved,
subject to shareholder approval, (i) a Plan of Conversion, pursuant
to which the Company will convert from a corporation incorporated
under the laws of the State of Colorado to a corporation
incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware (the
“Reincorporation”), and such approval includes the
adoption of the Certificate of Incorporation (the “Delaware
Certificate”) and the Bylaws (the “Delaware
Bylaws”) for the Company under the laws of the State of
Delaware, and a change in the name of the Company from “GoIP
Global, Inc.” to “Transworld Holdings, Inc.”,
each to become effective concurrently with the effectiveness of the
Reincorporation and (ii) a reverse stock split of outstanding
common stock in a ratio of one-for-five hundred (1:500), provided
that all fractional shares as a result of the split shall be
automatically rounded up to the next whole share (the
“Reverse Split”), to become effective immediately prior
to the effectiveness of the Reincorporation. On August 7, 2020,
shareholder approval for these actions was obtained. The
Reincorporation was effective October 1, 2020 and the reverse split
was effective on October 6, 2020. Share amounts are reflected
given effect to the reverse stock split on a retroactive
basis.
On January 26, 2021, following its acquisitions of PTGI and
GetCharged, we changed our name
from Transworld Holdings, Inc. to Charge Enterprises,
Inc.

Summary of significant accounting policies
|
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America (“GAAP”).
Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The
consolidated financial statements and related disclosures,
presented in US dollars, have been prepared using the accrual basis
of accounting in accordance with GAAP and pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments
and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these
financial statements have been included. The results and trends in
these interim consolidated financial statements for the nine months
ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 may not be representative of
these for the full fiscal year or any future periods. These
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the company’s latest annual financial statements. The
year end is December 31.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. The most significant assumptions and
estimates relate to the valuation of equity issued for services,
valuation of equity associated with convertible debt, the valuation
of derivative liabilities, and the valuation of deferred tax
assets. Actual results could differ from these
estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes
revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Update
(“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from contracts with
customers,” (Topic 606). Revenue is recognized when a
customer obtains control of promised goods or services. In
addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount,
timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from
contracts with customers. The amount of revenue that is recorded
reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in
exchange for those goods. The Company applies the following
five-step model in order to determine this amount: (i)
identification of the promised goods in the contract; (ii)
determination of whether the promised goods are performance
obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of
the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including
the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the
transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v)
recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each
performance obligation. The Company’s main revenue stream is
from services. The Company recognizes as revenues the amount of the
transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance
obligation when the performance obligation is satisfied or as it is
satisfied. Generally, the Company's performance obligations are
transferred to customers at a point in time, typically upon
delivery.
PTGI
PTGI
operates an extensive network of direct routes and offers premium
voice communication services for carrying a mix of business,
residential and carrier long-distance traffic, data and transit
traffic. PTGI has both a customer and vendor relationship with most
parties. PTGI sells the customer routing services through the PTGI
supplier routes on incoming calls and then PTGI purchases routing
services from other vendor’s supplier routes in order to
complete the call. Revenue is earned based on the number of minutes
during a call multiplied by the price per minute, and is recorded
upon completion of a call. Incomplete calls are not revenues earned
by PTGI and may occur as a result of technical issues or because
the customer’s credit limit was exceeded and thus the
customer routing of traffic was prevented. Revenue for a period is
calculated from information received through PTGI’s billing
software, such as minutes and market rates. PTGI evaluates gross
versus net revenue recognition for each of its contractual
arrangements by assessing indicators of control and significant
influence to determine whether the PTGI acts as a principal (i.e.
gross recognition) or an agent (i.e. net recognition). PTGI has
determined that it acts as a principal for all of its performance
obligations in connection with all revenue earned as PTGI may
accept or reject calls, determines the routing decision and routing
vendor and has the risk of financial loss on revenues from
customers and amounts owed to the vendors. Net revenue represents
gross revenue, net of allowance for doubtful accounts receivable,
service credits and service adjustments. Cost of revenue includes
network costs that consist of access, transport and termination
costs. The majority of PTGI’s cost of revenue is variable,
primarily based upon minutes of use, with transmission and
termination costs being the most significant expense.
Nextridge
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Due to
the nature of the Company’s performance obligations, the
estimation of total revenue and cost at completion is complex,
subject to many variables and requires significant judgment.
Management must make assumptions and estimates regarding labor
productivity and availability, the complexity of the work to be
performed, the cost and availability of materials, the performance
of subcontracts, and the availability and timing of funding from
the customer, among other variables. As a significant change in one
or more of these estimates could affect the profitability of
contracts, the Company reviews and updates contract-related
estimates regularly through a review process in which management
reviews the progress and execution of performance obligations and
the estimated cost at completion. As part of this process,
management reviews information including, but not limited to, any
outstanding key contract matter, progress towards completion and
the related program schedule and the related changes in estimates
of revenues and costs. The Company recognizes adjustments in
estimated profit on contracts under the cumulative catch-up method.
Under this method, the impact of the adjustment on profit recorded
to date is recognized in the period the adjustment is identified.
Revenue and profit in future periods of contract performance is
recognized using the adjusted estimate. If at any time the estimate
of contract profitability indicates an anticipated loss on the
contract, the Company recognizes a provision for the entire loss in
the period it is identified.
Variable consideration
The
nature of the Company’s contracts gives rise to several types
of variable consideration, including claims and unpriced change
orders. The Company recognizes revenue for variable consideration
when it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of
cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. The Company estimates
the amount of revenue to be recognized on variable consideration,
using the expected value or the most likely amount method,
whichever is expected to better predict the amount. The
Company’s estimates of variable consideration and
determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the
transaction price are based largely on assessments of legal
enforceability, performance, and all information that is reasonably
available to the Company.
Fair Value Measurements and Fair Value of Financial
Instruments
Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic
820, Fair
Value Measurements, clarifies
the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair
value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the
inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level
1: Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for
identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement
date.
Level
2: Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and
liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or
similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active,
inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs
derived from or corroborated by observable market
data.
Level
3: Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting
entity's own assumptions on what assumptions the market
participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on
the best available information.
The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments,
including all current liabilities are carried at historical cost
basis, which approximates their fair values because of the
short-term nature of these instruments.
ASC subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments
("ASC 825-10") requires disclosure of
the fair value of certain financial instruments. The carrying value
of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued
liabilities as reflected in the balance sheets, approximate fair
value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. All
other significant financial assets, financial liabilities and
equity instruments of the Company are either recognized or
disclosed in the financial statements together with other
information relevant for making a reasonable assessment of future
cash flows, interest rate risk and credit risk. Where practicable
the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities have
been determined and disclosed; otherwise only available information
pertinent to fair value has been disclosed.
The Company follows ASC subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures ("ASC 820-10") and
ASC 825-10, which permits entities to choose to measure many
financial instruments and certain other items at fair
value.
The following table represents the Company’s assets and
liabilities by level measured at fair value on a recurring basis at
September 30, 2021 and December 31,
2020.

Derivative Liability
The Company evaluates convertible instruments, options, warrants or
other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded
components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be
separately accounted for under ASC Topic 815, "Derivatives and
Hedging” ("ASC
815"). The result of this accounting treatment is that the
fair value of the derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet
date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value
is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in
the statement of operations as other income (expense). Upon
conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument
is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair
value is reclassified to equity. Equity instruments that are
initially classified as equity that become subject to
reclassification under ASC 815 are reclassified to liabilities at
the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. The
Company has embedded features that are classified as derivative
liabilities. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31,
2020, the Company had $0 and $749,600 in derivative liabilities,
respectively.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an
original maturity of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company records
stock-based compensation in accordance with the provisions of ASC
Topic 718, “Accounting for
Stock Compensation,” (“ASC 718”) which
establishes accounting standards for transactions in which an
entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. In
accordance with guidance provided under ASC 718, the Company
recognizes an expense for the fair value of its stock awards at the
time of grant and the fair value of its outstanding stock options
as they vest, whether held by employees or others. During the nine
months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded $21,351,212
in stock-based compensation expense.
Convertible Debentures
If the conversion features of conventional convertible debt provide
for a rate of conversion that is below market value at issuance,
this feature is characterized as a beneficial conversion feature
("BCF"). A BCF is recorded by the Company as a debt discount
pursuant to ASC Topic 470-20 "Debt with Conversion and Other
Options". In those
circumstances, the convertible debt is recorded net of the discount
related to the BCF, and the Company amortizes the discount to
interest expense, over the life of the debt. As of
September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company
had outstanding convertible notes resulting in a beneficial
conversion feature in the amount of
$3,373,874.
Advertising, Marketing and Public Relations
The Company follows the policy of charging the costs of
advertising, marketing, and public relations to expense as
incurred. Advertising, marketing and public relations expense
totaled $706,544 and $0 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020,
respectively.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability
method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the
future tax consequences attributable to differences between the
financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and
liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss,
capital loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply
to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences
are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax
assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in
income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if
those positions are more likely than not of being sustained.
Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount
that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in
recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the
change in judgment occurs. The Company records interest and
penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of
general and administrative expenses. Our federal tax return and any
state tax returns are not currently under examination.
The Company has adopted ASC 740-10, Accounting for Income
Taxes, which requires an asset
and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for
income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are
computed annually from differences between the financial statement
and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable
or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and
rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are
expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are
established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the
amount expected to be realized.
Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
The Company computes loss per common share, in accordance with ASC
Topic 260, Earnings Per
Share, which requires dual
presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic income
or loss per common share is computed by dividing net income or loss
by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during
the period. Diluted income or loss per common share is computed by
dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding, plus the issuance of common shares, if
dilutive, that could result from the exercise of outstanding stock
options and warrants. No potential dilutive common shares are
included in the computation of any diluted per share amount when a
loss is reported.
Inventory
Inventory
consists of materials and supplies on hand that have not been
charged to and utilized on specific contracts. The inventory is
stated at average cost.
Segments
The Company determined its reporting units in accordance with ASC
280, “Segment Reporting” (“ASC 280”).
Management evaluates a reporting unit by first identifying
operating segments under ASC 280. The Company then evaluates each
operating segment to determine if it includes one or more
components that constitute a business. If there are components
within an operating segment that meet the definition of a business,
the Company evaluates those components to determine if they must be
aggregated into one or more reporting units. If applicable, when
determining if it is appropriate to aggregate different operating
segments, the Company determines if the segments are economically
similar and, if so, the operating segments are
aggregated.
Management has determined that the Company has three consolidated
operating segments. The Company’s reporting segment reflects
the manner in which its chief operating decision maker reviews
results and allocates resources. The Company’s reporting
segment meets the definition of an operating segment and does not
include the aggregation of multiple operating
segments.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases
("ASC 842"), which will require
lessees to recognize almost all leases on their balance sheet as a
right-of-use asset and a lease liability. For income statement
purposes, the FASB retained a dual model, requiring leases to be
classified as either operating or finance. Classification will be
based on criteria that are largely similar to those applied in
current lease accounting, but without explicit bright lines. Lessor
accounting is similar to the current model, but updated to align
with certain changes to the lessee model and the new revenue
recognition standard. This ASU is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within
those fiscal years. The Company has adopted this guidance effective
January 1, 2019, at which time there were no affected leases. The
Company acquired leases as part of the
acquisitionof
Nextridge, Inc (“Nextridge”), a New York corporation,
and its wholly owned subsidiary, ANS Advanced Network Services LLC
(“ANS”), a New York limited liability
company.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No.
2016-13, Credit Losses - Measurement of
Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASU
2016-13"). ASU 2016-13
requires entities to use a forward-looking approach based on
current expected credit losses (“CECL”) to estimate
credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including
trade receivables. This may result in the earlier recognition of
allowances for losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company
beginning July 1, 2023, and early adoption is permitted. The
Company does not believe the potential impact of the new guidance
and related codification improvements will be material to its
financial position, results of operations and cash
flows.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No.
2020-06, Debt—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 ("AUS
2020-06"). ASU
2020-06 will simplify the accounting for convertible instruments by
reducing the number of accounting models for convertible debt
instruments and convertible preferred stock. Limiting the
accounting models will result in fewer embedded conversion features
being separately recognized from the host contract as compared with
current GAAP. Convertible instruments that continue to be subject
to separation models are (1) those with embedded conversion
features that are not clearly and closely related to the host
contract, that meet the definition of a derivative, and that do not
qualify for a scope exception from derivative accounting and (2)
convertible debt instruments issued with substantial premiums for
which the premiums are recorded as paid-in capital. ASU 2020-06
also amends the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for
contracts in an entity’s own equity to reduce
form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions. ASU 2020-06 will
be effective January 1, 2024, for the Company. Early adoption is
permitted, but no earlier than January 1, 2021, including interim
periods within that year. Management is currently evaluating the
effect of the adoption of ASU 2020-06 on the consolidated financial
statements, but currently does not believe ASU 2020-06 will have a
significant impact on the Company’s accounting for its
convertible debt instruments. The effect will largely depend on the
composition and terms of the financial instruments at the time of
adoption.
Reclassification
Certain amounts included in prior year financial statements have

Concentration of credit risks
|
The Company maintains accounts with financial institutions. All
cash in checking accounts is non-interest bearing and is fully
insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). At
times, cash balances may exceed the maximum coverage provided by
the FDIC on insured depositor accounts. The Company believes it
mitigates its risk by depositing its cash and cash equivalents with
major financial institutions. At September 30, 2021
and December 31, 2020, the Company had $7,728,827 and
$9,715,716 in excess of FDIC insurance,
respectively.
Fixed assets consisted of the following at September

Marketable securities and other investments
|
Our
marketable securities are stated at fair value in accordance with
ASC Topic 321 “Investments- Equity Securities”.
Any changes in the fair value of the Company’s
marketable securities are included in net income under the caption
of net income from investments. The market value of the
securities is determined using prices as reflected on an
established market. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are
determined on an average cost basis. The marketable securities are
investments predominately in shares of large publicly traded
securities which are being invested until such time the funds are
needed for operations.
The
value of these marketable securities at September 30,
2021 is as follows:
|

The above
marketable securities are reflected as level 1 assets as the
securities prices are quotes in an established market. The Company
has reflected $1,094,157 in unrealized gains and losses and
$4,514,574 in realized gains and losses and has reported these
securities as net income from investments on the statement of
operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. There
were no realized or unrealized gains on marketable securities in
the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
In April 2020, the
Company acquired 267 ordinary shares of a Company located in the
United Kingdom for $100,000. In December 2020, the Company acquired
2,952 Class C shares of a battery technology company in exchange
for $149,262, which was subsequently disposed of in July 2021 at no
gain or loss. The shares in both companies are nonmarketable
securities, which does not have a readily determinable value. The
Company has elected under ASU 2016-01 to reflect its fair value at
cost less impairment, if any, plus or minus any changes resulting
from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the
identical or similar investments. There were no observable
transactions in similar shares of these companies between the
acquisition date and September 30, 2021.
TransWorld Enterprises, Inc.
Effective
April 30, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire
100% of the outstanding equity interests of TransWorld, pursuant to
that certain Share Exchange Agreement (referred to as the
“Exchange Agreement”), by and among the Company,
TransWorld and the shareholders of TransWorld. The transactions
contemplated by the Exchange Agreement closed on May 8, 2020. In
accordance with the Exchange Agreement, the Company acquired all of
the outstanding shares of TransWorld in exchange for 1,000,000
shares of each of the Company’s series D and series F
preferred stock. The series D preferred stock is convertible into
12.5% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of
common stock upon consummation of a reverse stock split and votes
on an as converted basis. The series F preferred stock is
convertible into 12.5% of the Company’s issued and
outstanding shares of common stock at any time at the option of the
holder and votes on an as converted basis.
TransWorld
did not meet the definition of a business under ASC 805, Business
Combinations. As such the
transaction was treated as an asset purchase. According to
this guidance, if the consideration given is not in
the form of cash, measurement is based on either the cost which
shall be measured based on the fair value of the consideration
given or the fair value of the asset (or net assets) acquired,
whichever is more clearly evident and, thus, more reliably
measurable. In this case, TransWorld did not have any assets. As
such the value of the consideration was valued at $3,057,907, which
was the value of the Series D and Series F Preferred stock. The
entire value was recorded as goodwill. As of December
31, 2020, we determined that the full amount of goodwill related to
this transaction needed to be impaired. As such we recorded a loss
on impairment of goodwill in the amount of
$3,057,907.

was $10,700,000 in excess of the consideration promised by the
agreement, the Company recorded a loss on goodwill impairment in
the amount of $10,700,000 in the fourth quarter of 2020. Based on
changes in management’s focus of this business, we determined
a triggering event occurred and we performed an impairment
analysis. During the period ended September 30, 2021, we recorded
an impairment for the remaining balance of $16,626,862. In
addition, certain fixed assets totaling $1,492,730 of the Get

May 2020 Financing $3,000,000 Face Value
On May
8, 2020, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement
with certain institutional investors (collectively, the “May
2020 Investors”) pursuant to which the Company issued
convertible notes in an aggregate principal amount of $3 million
for an aggregate purchase price of $2.7 million (collectively, the
“Notes”). In connection with the issuance of the Notes,
the Company issued to the May 2020 Investors warrants to purchase
an aggregate of 7,600,000 shares of Common Stock (collectively, the
“Warrants”) and 7.5 shares of series G convertible
preferred stock (the “Series G Preferred Stock”). The
Notes as amended mature on May 8, 2022, unless earlier converted.
The Notes accrue interest at a rate of 8% per annum, subject to
increase to 20% per annum upon and during the occurrence of an
event of default. Interest is payable in cash on a quarterly basis
beginning on December 31, 2020. The May 2020 Notes are convertible
at any time, at the holder’s option, into shares of our
common stock at an initial conversion price of $0.25 per share,
subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations (with a maximum
ownership limit of 9.99%) and subject to a decrease in the
conversion price to the greater of (i) $0.01 or (ii) 75% of the
average VWAP of the Common Stock for the immediately preceding five
(5) Trading Days on the date of conversion. The conversion price is
also subject to adjustment due to certain events, including stock
dividends, and stock splits. The Notes may be redeemed by the
Company, in its sole discretion, in an amount equal to 110% of the
principal amount, interest and any other amounts owed under the
Notes, subject to certain limitations.
Each
Warrant is exercisable for a period of two years from the date of
issuance at an initial exercise price of $0.50 per share, subject
to certain beneficial ownership limitations (with a maximum
ownership limit of 9.99%). The exercise price is also subject to
adjustment due to certain events, including stock dividends, stock
splits and in connection with the issuance by the Company of common
stock or common stock equivalents at an effective price per share
lower than the exercise price then in effect. The May 2020
Investors may exercise the Warrants on a cashless basis if the
shares of common stock underlying the Warrants are not then
registered pursuant to an effective registration statement. In the
event the May 2020 Investors exercise the Warrants on a cashless
basis, then we will not receive any proceeds.
The
Series G Preferred Stock have no voting rights and shall convert
into 7.5% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock upon
consummation of a reverse stock split of our Common
Stock.
The
Notes rank senior to all current and future indebtedness of the
Company and are secured by substantially all of the assets of the
Company.
A
Registration Rights Agreement was executed in connection with the
issuance of the Notes, the Warrants and the Preferred Stock. If we
fail to have it declared effective by the SEC within 150 days
following the date of the financing, or if the Company fails to
maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement until all
of such shares of common stock have been sold or are otherwise able
to be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, without any volume or manner of sale
restrictions, then the Company will be obligated to pay to the May
2020 Investors liquidated damages equal to then, in addition to any
other rights the May 2020 Investors may under applicable law, upon
the occurrence of any such event and on each monthly anniversary of
thereafter until the event is cured, the Company shall pay to the
May 2020 Investors an amount in cash equal to their pro rata
portion of $50,000, provided such amount shall increase by $25,000
on every thirty (30) day anniversary, until such events are
satisfied.
The
Company has accounted for these Notes as a financing transaction,
wherein the net proceeds that were received were allocated to the
financial instrument issued. Prior to making the accounting
allocation, the Company evaluated the notes under ASC 815,
which generally requires the analysis of embedded terms and
features that have characteristics of derivatives to be evaluated
for bifurcation and separate accounting in instances where their
economic risks and characteristics are not clearly and closely
related to the risks of the host contract. The material embedded
derivative feature was a true up provision. The true up provision
bears risks of equity which were not clearly and closely related to
the host debt agreement and required bifurcation.
We did
analyze the detachable warrants under ASC 480, Distinguishing
Liabilities from Equity ("ASC 480") and ASC 815. The
warrants did not fall under the guidance of ASC 480. After
analyzing the warrants under ASC 815, it was determined that the
warrants did meet all the requirements for equity classification
under guidance of ASC 815-40-25-1 through 6.
April 30, 2020 Sutton Global Note $227,525 Face Value
On
April 30, 2020, the former CEO converted his payable into a
convertible note with a face value of $300,000. The note has a
coupon rate of 6% and a maturity date of December 31, 2021. The
note is convertible at a rate of $.0005 per share. Since the note
added a conversion option, it resulted in a debt modification
requiring the Company to record a loss on modification of debt in
the amount of $98,825. The Company recorded interest expense
related to this note in the amount of $4,751 for the years ended
December 31, 2020. On March 25, 2021,
Sutton Global Associates converted $149,000 in principal and
$12,125 in accrued interest into 644,499 shares of the company
common stock.
Notes issued between August 25, 2020 and September 14, 2020
Aggregate $725,333 Face Value
Between
August 25, 2020 and September 14, 2020, the Company issued
convertible notes in an aggregate principal amount of $436,444 for
an aggregate purchase price of $395,000. In connection with the
issuance of the Notes, the Company issued warrants to purchase an
aggregate of 872,887 shares of Common Stock. The notes have a
coupon rate of 8% and a maturity date of one year.
On
August 27, 2020, a related party reassigned $288,889 in principal
to an unrelated party. On March 24,
2021, this party converted $288,889 in principal and $13,297 in
accrued interest into 1,208,743 shares of common
stock.
On
March 9, 2021, a party converted
$166,668 in principal and $7,106 in accrued interest into 695,706
shares of common stock.
On August 24, 2021,
two parties converted $220,000 in principal and $17,796 in accrued
interest into 951,182 shares of common stock.
On September 14,
2021, two parties converted $49,777 in principal and $4,037 in
accrued interest into 215,258 shares of common
stock.
The
Company has accounted for these Notes as a financing transaction,
wherein the net proceeds that were received were allocated to the
financial instrument issued. Prior to making the accounting
allocation, the Company evaluated the notes under ASC 815
Derivatives and Hedging
(“ASC 815”). ASC 815 generally requires the analysis of
embedded terms and features that have characteristics of
derivatives to be evaluated for bifurcation and separate accounting
in instances where their economic risks and characteristics are not
clearly and closely related to the risks of the host contract. None
of the terms and features embedded in the notes required
bifurcation and liability classification.
We did
analyze the detachable warrants under ASC 480-10 and ASC 815. The
warrants did not fall under the guidance of ASC 480-10. After
analyzing the warrants under ASC 815, it was determined that the
warrants did meet all the requirements for equity classification
under guidance of ASC 815-40-25-1 through 6.
November 2020 Financing $3,888,889 Face Value
On November 3, 2020, the Company entered into a
securities purchase agreement with funds affiliated with Arena
Investors LP (the “November 2020 Investors”) pursuant
to which it issued convertible notes in an aggregate principal
amount of $3.8 million for an aggregate purchase price of $3.5
million (collectively, the “November 2020 Notes” and
together with the May 2020 Notes, the “Notes”). In
connection with the issuance of the November 2020 Notes, we issued
to the November 2020 Investors 903,226 shares of common
stock. The November 2020 Notes are convertible at any time,
at the holder’s option, into shares of our common stock at a
conversion price of $0.25 per share.
The
Company has accounted for these Notes as a financing transaction,
wherein the net proceeds that were received were allocated to the
financial instrument issued. Prior to making the accounting
allocation, the Company evaluated the notes under ASC 815,
which generally requires the analysis of embedded terms and
features that have characteristics of derivatives to be evaluated
for bifurcation and separate accounting in instances where their
economic risks and characteristics are not clearly and closely
related to the risks of the host contract. None of the terms and
features embedded in the notes required bifurcation and liability
classification.
We did
analyze the detachable warrants under ASC 480-10 and ASC 815. The
warrants did not fall under the guidance of ASC 480-10. After
analyzing the warrants under ASC 815, it was determined that the
warrants did meet all the requirements for equity classification
under guidance of ASC 815-40-25-1 through 6.
May 2021 Financing $5,610,000 Face Value
On May 19, 2021, the Company entered into a
securities purchase agreement with funds affiliated with Arena
Investors LP (the “May 2021 Investors”) pursuant to
which it issued convertible notes in an aggregate principal
amount of $5.61 million for an aggregate purchase price of $5
million. In connection with the issuance of the May 2021 Notes, we
issued to the May 2021 Investors warrants to acquire 1,870,000
shares of common stock. The May 2021 Notes are convertible
at any time, at the holder’s option, into shares of our
common stock at a conversion price of $3.00 per share.
The
Company has accounted for these Notes as a financing transaction,
wherein the net proceeds that were received were allocated to the

agreement with KORR Value LP, an entity controlled by Kenneth Orr,
the Company’s Executive Chairman, pursuant to which the
Company issued convertible notes in an aggregate principal amount
of $550,000 for an aggregate purchase price of $495,000
(collectively, the “KORR Notes”). In connection with
the issuance of the KORR Notes, the Company issued to KORR Value
warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,266,667 shares of Common
Stock (collectively, the “KORR Warrants”). The KORR
Notes and KORR Warrants are on substantially the same terms as the
Notes and Warrants issued to the Selling Shareholders except that
the KORR Notes are subordinated to the Notes. On August 27, 2020,
notes totaling $288,889 were assigned to an unrelated party (Note

9 Madison Inc. Financing
On
September 2, 2020, the Company entered into a securities purchase
agreement with 9 Madison, Inc., an entity controlled by Andrew Fox,
the Company’s CEO, pursuant to which the Company issued a
convertible note in the amount of $110,000 for an aggregate
purchase price of $100,000. The notes are convertible at the
holders option at a conversion price of $0.25 per share. In
connection with the issuance of the Notes, the Company issued to 9
Madison warrants to purchase an aggregate of 440,000 shares of
Common Stock
The
Company has accounted for these Notes as a financing transaction,
wherein the net proceeds that were received were allocated to the
financial instrument issued. Prior to making the accounting
allocation, the Company evaluated the notes under ASC 815,
which generally requires the analysis of embedded terms and
features that have characteristics of derivatives to be evaluated
for bifurcation and separate accounting in instances where their
economic risks and characteristics are not clearly and closely
related to the risks of the host contract. None of the terms and
features embedded in the notes required bifurcation and liability
classification.
We did
analyze the detachable warrants under ASC 480-10 and ASC 815. The
warrants did not fall under the guidance of ASC 480-10. After
analyzing the warrants under ASC 815, it was determined that the
warrants did meet all the requirements for equity classification
under guidance of ASC 815-40-25-1 through 6.
Based
on the previous conclusions, the Company allocated the face value

Derivative liabilities
|
The May
2020 notes embodied certain terms and conditions that were not
clearly and closely related to the host debt agreement in terms of
economic risks and characteristics. These terms and features
consist of the true up provision, which provides that in the event
that the proceeds received by the Holder from the sale of all the
Conversion Shares and up to 50% of the Commitment Shares
(“Hurdle Shares”) does not equal at least $750,000 (the
“Hurdle Return”) on June 1, 2021 (the “True-Up
Payment Date”), the Company must pay the Holders their pro
rata portion of an amount in cash (the “True-Up
Payment”) equal to the Hurdle Return less the proceeds
previously realized by the Holder from the sale of the Hurdle
Shares, net of brokerage commissions and any other fees incurred by
Holder in connection with the sale of any Hurdle Shares (“Net
Proceeds”).
Since
the true-up provision expired on June 1, 2021, there is no
derivative liability as of September 30, 2021. The
derivative liability was marked up to $750,000 as June 1, 2021 and
reclassified to additional paid-in capital.
The following table summarizes the effects on the Company’s
gain (loss) associated with changes in the fair values of the
derivative financial instruments by type of financing for the three
and nine months ended September 30,
2021:

Current
accounting principles that are provided in ASC 815
- Derivatives and
Hedging require derivative financial instruments to be
classified in liabilities and carried at fair value with changes
recorded in income. The Company has selected a present value
technique to fair value the true up provision. The maximum amount
of cash the Company would have to deliver is $750,000, which is
equal to the hurdle return. A present value is applied to the
hurdle return to come up with the derivative liability each
period.
Significant
inputs to the present value technique are as follows for the
embedded derivatives that have been bifurcated from the convertible
notes and classified in liabilities:

On December 7, 2020, the 7.5 shares of Series G Preferred Stock
were converted into 6,199,135 shares of common stock.
The Company has evaluated each series of the Preferred Stock for
proper classification under ASC 480 and ASC 815.
ASC 480 generally requires liability classification for financial
instruments that are certain to be redeemed, represent obligations
to purchase shares of stock or represent obligations to issue a
variable number of common shares. The 2,395,105 shares of Series B
Preferred Stock issued on May 21, 2021 are mandatorily redeemable,
and therefore are required to be classified as a liability in the
mezzanine section of the balance sheet. They are valued at
$6,850,000. The Company concluded that all other series of
Preferred Stock were not within the scope of ASC 480 because none
of the three conditions for liability classification was
present.
ASC 815 generally requires an analysis of embedded
terms and features that have characteristics of derivatives to be
evaluated for bifurcation and separate accounting in instances
where their economic risks and characteristics are not clearly and
closely related to the risks of the host contract. However, in
order to perform this analysis, the Company was first required to
evaluate the economic risks and characteristics of each series of
the Preferred Stock in its entirety as being either akin to equity
or akin to debt. The Company’s evaluation concluded that each
series of Preferred Stock was more akin to an equity-like contract
largely due to the fact the financial instrument is not mandatorily
redeemable for cash and the holders are not entitled to any
dividends. Other features of the Preferred Stock that operate like
equity, such as the conversion option and voting feature, afforded
more evidence, in the Company’s view, that the instrument is
more akin to equity. As a result, the embedded conversion features
are clearly and closely related to their equity host instruments.
Therefore, the embedded conversion features do not require
bifurcation and classification as derivative
liabilities.
Private Placement
On December 8, 2020, the Company entered into a Private Placement
Agreement for the purchase of up to an aggregate $2,500,000 at
$0.25 per share. In connection with the Private Placement, the
Company sold 8,700,000 shares for an aggregate $2,175,000. The
shares were issued on January 15, 2021.
Placement Agent Warrants
In connection with the December 8, 2020 Private Placement
Agreement, placement agents were given warrants to purchase
10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for a seven
year period at an exercise price of $2 per share. These warrants
were valued at $15,500,000 and met equity classification.
$2,100,000 of the $15,500,000 was recorded in equity as stock issue
costs and the remaining $13,400,000 was recorded in other expenses
on the statement of operations.
Stock options
The Company selected the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”)
valuation technique to calculate the grant date fair values for the
stock options because it believes that this technique is reflective
of all the inputs that market participants would likely consider in
transactions involving warrants. The inputs include the strike
price, underlying price, term to expiration, volatility, and
risk-free interest rate.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the Board of Directors and Stockholder’s of Charge
Enterprises, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Charge
Enterprises, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December
31, 2020, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash
flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively
referred to as the “financial statements”). In our
opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the
Company as of December 31, 2020 and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2020, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.
Basis of Opinion
These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our
audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)
(“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with
respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal
securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We
conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated
financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due
to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we
engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial
reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an
understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not
for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of
the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our
audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of
material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to
error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those
risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis,
evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial
statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified with
respect to that matter.

CHARGE ENTERPRISES, INC.
(FORMERLY TRANSWORLD HOLDINGS, INC.
AND GOIP GLOBAL, INC.) AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Charge Enterprises,
Inc. (“Charge Enterprises” (formerly known as
“Transworld Holdings, Inc.” “GoIP Global,
Inc.”, “GoIP”) was incorporated on May 8, 2003 as
E Education Network, Inc. (“EEN”) under the laws of the
State of Nevada. On August 10, 2005, the Company’s name was
changed to GoIP Global, Inc. On December 28, 2017, the Company was
redomiciled in Colorado. On October 1, 2020, the Company was
redomiciled to Delaware and the name was changed to TransWorld
Holdings, Inc.
On
April 30, 2020, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement
with TransWorld Enterprises Inc. (“TW”), a Delaware
Corporation. As part of the exchange the Company has agreed to
issue 1,000,000 share of Series D Preferred Stock and 1,000,000
shares of Series F Preferred Stock in exchange for all the equity
interest of TW. TW, as a holding company, will focus on acquiring
controlling interests in profitable basic businesses.
Initially, TW will focus on acquiring transportation companies and
simple manufacturing and or consumer products
businesses.
On July 13, 2020,
the Board of Directors of the Company approved, subject to
shareholder approval, (i) a Plan of Conversion, pursuant to which
the Company will convert from a corporation incorporated under the
laws of the State of Colorado to a corporation incorporated under
the laws of the State of Delaware (the
“Reincorporation”), and such approval includes the
adoption of the Certificate of Incorporation (the “Delaware
Certificate”) and the Bylaws (the “Delaware
Bylaws”) for the Company under the laws of the State of
Delaware, and a change in the name of the Company from “GoIP
Global, Inc.” to “Transworld Holdings, Inc.”,
each to become effective concurrently with the effectiveness of the
Reincorporation and (ii) a reverse stock split of our outstanding
common stock in a ratio of one-for-five hundred (1:500), provided
that all fractional shares as a result of the split shall be
automatically rounded up to the next whole share (the
“Reverse Split”), to become effective immediately prior
to the effectiveness of the Reincorporation. On August 7, 2020,
shareholder approval for these actions was obtained. The
Reincorporation was effective October 1, 2020 and the reverse split
was effective on October 6, 2020.
On January 26, 2021, following

Summary of significant accounting policies
|
Basis of Presentation
The
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America (“GAAP”).
Principles of Consolidation
Charge
Enterprises, Inc. (formerly Transworld Holdings, Inc. and GoIP
Global, Inc.) has three wholly-owned subsidiaries: TransWorld
Enterprises, Inc., Get Charged Inc. and PTGI International Carrier
Services, Inc. (“ICS”). The consolidated financial
statements, which include the accounts of the Company and its three
wholly-owned subsidiaries, are prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of
America (U.S. GAAP). All significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated. The consolidated financial
statements, which include the accounts of the Company and its three
wholly-owned subsidiaries, and related disclosures have been
prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Financial
Statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America (“GAAP”) and presented in US
dollars. The year end is December 31.
Use of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. The most significant assumptions and
estimates relate to the valuation of equity issued for services,
valuation of equity associated with convertible debt, the valuation
of derivative liabilities, and the valuation of deferred tax
assets. Actual results could differ from these
estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company
recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Update
(“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from contracts with
customers,” (Topic 606). Revenue is recognized when a
customer obtains control of promised goods or services. In
addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount,
timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from
contracts with customers. The amount of revenue that is recorded
reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in
exchange for those goods. The Company applies the following
five-step model in order to determine this amount: (i)
identification of the promised goods in the contract; (ii)
determination of whether the promised goods are performance
obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of
the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including
the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the
transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v)
recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each
performance obligation. The Company’s main revenue stream is
from services. The Company recognizes as revenues the amount of the
transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance
obligation when the performance obligation is satisfied or as it is
satisfied. Generally, the Company's performance obligations are
transferred to customers at a point in time, typically upon
delivery.
PTGI
PTGI operates an
extensive network of direct routes and offers premium voice
communication services for carrying a mix of business, residential
and carrier long-distance traffic, data and transit traffic. PTGI
has both a customer and vendor relationship with most parties. PTGI
sells the customer routing services through the PTGI supplier
routes on incoming calls and then PTGI purchases routing services
from other vendor’s supplier routes in order to complete the
call. Revenue is earned based on the number of minutes during a
call multiplied by the price per minute, and is recorded upon
completion of a call. Incomplete calls are not revenues earned by
PTGI and may occur as a result of technical issues or because the
customer’s credit limit was exceeded and thus the customer
routing of traffic was prevented. Revenue for a period is
calculated from information received through PTGI’s billing
software, such as minutes and market rates. PTGI evaluates gross
versus net revenue recognition for each of its contractual
arrangements by assessing indicators of control and significant
influence to determine whether the PTGI acts as a principal (i.e.
gross recognition) or an agent (i.e. net recognition). PTGI has
determined that it acts as a principal for all of its performance
obligations in connection with all revenue earned as PTGI may
accept or reject calls, determines the routing decision and routing
vendor and has the risk of financial loss on revenues from
customers and amounts owed to the vendors. Net revenue represents
gross revenue, net of allowance for doubtful accounts receivable,
service credits and service adjustments. Cost of revenue includes
network costs that consist of access, transport and termination
costs. The majority of PTGI’s cost of revenue is variable,
primarily based upon minutes of use, with transmission and
termination costs being the most significant expense.
Fair Value Measurements and Fair Value of Financial
Instruments
Accounting Standard Codification
(“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value
Measurements, clarifies the
definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair
value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the
inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level
1: Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for
identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement
date.
Level
2: Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and
liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or
similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active,
inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs
derived from or corroborated by observable market
data.
Level
3: Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting
entity's own assumptions on what assumptions the market
participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on
the best available information.
The
estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including
all current liabilities are carried at historical cost basis, which
approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of
these instruments.
ASC subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments
("ASC 825-10") requires disclosure of
the fair value of certain financial instruments. The carrying value
of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued
liabilities as reflected in the balance sheets, approximate fair
value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. All
other significant financial assets, financial liabilities and
equity instruments of the Company are either recognized or
disclosed in the financial statements together with other
information relevant for making a reasonable assessment of future
cash flows, interest rate risk and credit risk. Where practicable
the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities have
been determined and disclosed; otherwise only available information
pertinent to fair value has been disclosed.
The Company follows ASC subtopic 820-10,
Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures ("ASC 820-10") and ASC 825-10, which permits
entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and
certain other items at fair value.
The
following table represents the Company’s assets and
liabilities by level measured at fair value on a recurring basis at
December 31, 2020.

Derivative Liability
The Company evaluates convertible instruments,
options, warrants or other contracts to determine if those
contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as
derivatives to be separately accounted for under ASC Topic 815,
"Derivatives and
Hedging”. The result of
this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the derivative
is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as a
liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a
liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statement of
operations as other income (expense). Upon conversion or exercise
of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value
at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to
equity. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity
that become subject to reclassification under ASC Topic 815 are
reclassified to liabilities at the fair value of the instrument on
the reclassification date. The Company has embedded features that
are classified as derivative liabilities. As of December 31, 2020
and 2019, the Company had $749,600 and $0 in derivative
liabilities, respectively.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original
maturity of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company records
stock-based compensation in accordance with the provisions of FASB
ASC Topic 718, “Accounting
for Stock Compensation,” which establishes accounting
standards for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity
instruments for goods or services. In accordance with guidance
provided under ASC Topic 718, the Company recognizes an expense for
the fair value of its stock awards at the time of grant and the
fair value of its outstanding stock options as they vest, whether
held by employees or others. During the year ended December 31,
2020, the Company issued options indexed to 20,500,000 shares of
common stock. As of December 31, 2020, the Company recorded
$2,326,298 in stock-based compensation expense related to these
options.
Convertible Debentures
If the conversion features of conventional
convertible debt provide for a rate of conversion that is below
market value at issuance, this feature is characterized as a
beneficial conversion feature ("BCF"). A BCF is recorded by the
Company as a debt discount pursuant to ASC Topic 470-20
"Debt with
Conversion and Other Options".
In those circumstances, the convertible debt is recorded net of the
discount related to the BCF, and the Company amortizes the discount
to interest expense, over the life of the debt. During the year
ended December 31, 2020, the Company issued convertible notes
resulting in a beneficial conversion feature in the amount of
$3,439,874.
Advertising, Marketing and Public Relations
The
Company follows the policy of charging the costs of advertising,
marketing, and public relations to expense as incurred.
Advertising, marketing and public relations expense totaled $76,964
and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019,
respectively.
Income Taxes
Income
taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future
tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
their respective tax basis and operating loss, capital loss and tax
credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable
income in the years in which those temporary differences are
expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax
assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in
income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The
Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those
positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized
income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is
greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition
or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in
judgment occurs. The Company records interest and penalties related
to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of general and
administrative expenses. Our federal tax return and any state tax
returns are not currently under examination.
The Company has adopted FASB ASC 740-10,
Accounting for
Income Taxes, which requires an
asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting
for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are
computed annually from differences between the financial statement
and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable
or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and
rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are
expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are
established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the
amount expected to be realized.
Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
The Company computes loss per common share, in
accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per
Share, which requires dual
presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic income
or loss per common share is computed by dividing net income or loss
by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during
the period. Diluted income or loss per common share is computed by
dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding, plus the issuance of common shares, if
dilutive, that could result from the exercise of outstanding stock
options and warrants. No potential dilutive common shares are
included in the computation of any diluted per share amount when a
loss is reported. Accordingly, we did not include 56,979,065 and 0
of potentially dilutive warrants, convertible notes and convertible
preferred stock at December 31, 2020 and 2019
respectively.

Segments
The
Company determined its reporting units in accordance with ASC 280,
“Segment Reporting” (“ASC 280”). Management
evaluates a reporting unit by first identifying its’
operating segments under ASC 280. The Company then evaluates each
operating segment to determine if it includes one or more
components that constitute a business. If there are components
within an operating segment that meet the definition of a business,
the Company evaluates those components to determine if they must be
aggregated into one or more reporting units. If applicable, when
determining if it is appropriate to aggregate different operating
segments, the Company determines if the segments are economically
similar and, if so, the operating segments are
aggregated.
Management
has determined that the Company has three consolidated operating
segments, one of which is currently material (ICS). We are
reporting all as one segment because the other two are immaterial.
The Company’s reporting segment reflects the manner in which
its chief operating decision maker reviews results and allocates
resources. The Company’s reporting segment meets the
definition of an operating segment and does not include the
aggregation of multiple operating segments.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the
FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases
(Topic 842), which will require
lessees to recognize almost all leases on their balance sheet as a
right-of-use asset and a lease liability. For income statement
purposes, the FASB retained a dual model, requiring leases to be
classified as either operating or finance. Classification will be
based on criteria that are largely similar to those applied in
current lease accounting, but without explicit bright lines. Lessor
accounting is similar to the current model, but updated to align
with certain changes to the lessee model and the new revenue
recognition standard. This ASU is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within
those fiscal years. The Company has adopted this guidance effective
January 1, 2019. The Company currently has no
leases.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No.
2016-13, Credit Losses - Measurement of
Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASC
326"). ASU 2016-13 requires
entities to use a forward-looking approach based on current
expected credit losses (“CECL”) to estimate credit
losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade
receivables. This may result in the earlier recognition of
allowances for losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company
beginning July 1, 2023, and early adoption is permitted. The
Company does not believe the potential impact of the new guidance
and related codification improvements will be material to its
financial position, results of operations and cash
flows.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No.
2020-06, Debt—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 will simplify the accounting for
convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models
for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock.
Limiting the accounting models will result in fewer embedded
conversion features being separately recognized from the host
contract as compared with current GAAP. Convertible instruments
that continue to be subject to separation models are (1) those with
embedded conversion features that are not clearly and closely
related to the host contract, that meet the definition of a
derivative, and that do not qualify for a scope exception from
derivative accounting and (2) convertible debt instruments issued
with substantial premiums for which the premiums are recorded as
paid-in capital. ASU 2020-06 also amends the guidance for the
derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own
equity to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions.
ASU 2020-06 will be effective January 1, 2024, for the Company.
Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than January 1, 2021,
including interim periods within that year. Management is currently
evaluating the effect of the adoption of ASU 2020-06 on the
consolidated financial statements, but currently does not believe
ASU 2020-06 will have a significant impact on the Company’s
accounting for its convertible debt instruments. The effect will
largely depend on the composition and terms of the financial
instruments at the time of adoption.

Concentration of credit risks
|
The
Company maintains accounts with financial institutions. All cash in
checking accounts is non-interest bearing and is fully insured by
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). At times, cash
balances may exceed the maximum coverage provided by the FDIC on
insured depositor accounts. The Company believes it mitigates its
risk by depositing its cash and cash equivalents with major
financial institutions. At December 31, 2020, the Company had
$9,715,176 in excess of FDIC insurance.

Marketable securities and other investments
|
Our
marketable securities are stated at fair value in accordance with
ASC Topic 321 “Investments- Equity Securities”.
Any changes in the fair value of the Company’s
marketable securities are included in in net income under the
caption of net income from investments. The market value of
the securities is determined using prices as reflected on an
established market. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are
determined on an average cost basis. The marketable securities are
investments predominately in shares of large publicly traded
securities which are being invested until such time the funds are
needed for operations.
The
value of these securities at December 31, 2020 is as
follows:
|
|
|

$3,000,000
|

|
Fair

|
$2,992,710
|
$257,000
|

The above marketable securities are reflected as level 1 assets as
the securities prices are quoted in an established market. The
Company has reflected $49,710 in unrealized gains and losses on
these securities as net income from investments on the statement of
operations. There were no realized gains or losses during the year
ended December 31, 2020.
The Company identified an error in the accounting for the
marketable securities in previously issued audited financial
statements as of December 31, 2020 and for the year then ended. The
effects on the income statement were to increase net income by
49,710. There was no change in the information for the 2019 fiscal
year or to the net loss per share for the year ended December 31,
2020. On the balance sheet and the statement of stockholders’
equity, the $49,710 was reclassified from other comprehensive
income to retained earnings.
In December 2020, the Company acquired 2,952 Class C shares of
Mobile Power Solutions SRL (“MPS”) in exchange for
$149,262. These Class C shares are nonmarketable securities, which
does not have a readily determinable value. The Company has elected
under ASU 2016-01 to reflect its fair value at cost less
impairment, if any, plus or minus any changes resulting from
observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical
or similar investment in MPS. There were no observable transactions
in similar shares of MPS between the acquisition date and December
31, 2020.
TransWorld Enterprises, Inc.
Effective April 30,
2020, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire 100% of the
outstanding equity interests of TransWorld, pursuant to that
certain Share Exchange Agreement (referred to as the
“Exchange Agreement”), by and among the Company,
TransWorld and the shareholders of TransWorld. The transactions
contemplated by the Exchange Agreement closed on May 8, 2020. In
accordance with the Exchange Agreement, the Company acquired all of
the outstanding shares of TransWorld in exchange for 1,000,000
shares of each of the Company’s series D and series F
preferred stock. The series D preferred stock is convertible into
12.5% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of
common stock upon consummation of a reverse stock split and votes
on an as converted basis. The series F preferred stock is
convertible into 12.5% of the Company’s issued and
outstanding shares of common stock at any time at the option of the
holder and votes on an as converted basis.
TransWorld did not
meet the definition of a business under ASC 805, Business
Combinations. As such the
transaction was treated as an asset purchase. According to ASC
805-50-30-2 if the consideration given is not in the form of cash,
measurement is based on either the cost which shall be measured
based on the fair value of the consideration given or the fair
value of the asset (or net assets) acquired, whichever is more
clearly evident and, thus, more reliably measurable. In this case,
TransWorld did not have any assets. As such the value of the
consideration was valued at $3,057,907, which was the value of the
Series D and Series F Preferred stock. The entire value was recoded
as goodwill. As of December 31, 2020, we determined that the full
amount of goodwill related to this transaction needed to be
impaired. As such we recorded a loss on impairment of goodwill in
the amount of $3,057,907.
Romolos Corp.
On August 10, 2020,
the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Romolos
Corp. The agreement provided for the purchase of the rights and

average of 3,000 weekly stops based upon annual 2020 deliveries
made to date. The purchase will be all cash. The acquisition is
subject to approval by FedEx, an overlap of an additional
acquisition, which is expected to sign in the near term, and
customary due diligence. During the year ended December 31, 2020,
the Company paid a $90,000 deposit towards the purchase. As of
December 31, 2020, the acquisition did
not close by the date set forth in the agreement and the Company
decided to no longer pursue this transaction. The Company has
requested the deposit to be returned.

The Company
analyzed the acquisition under applicable guidance and determined
that the acquisition should be accounted for as a business
combination. The acquisition resulted in $549,129 in goodwill which
is recorded on the reporting unit’s books.
On June 9, 2020,

May 2020 Financing $3,000,000 Face Value
On May 8, 2020, the
Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain
institutional investors (collectively, the “May 2020
Investors”) pursuant to which the Company issued convertible
notes in an aggregate principal amount of $3 million for an
aggregate purchase price of $2.7 million (collectively, the
“Notes”). In connection with the issuance of the Notes,
the Company issued to the May 2020 Investors warrants to purchase
an aggregate of 7,600,000 shares of Common Stock (collectively, the
“Warrants”) and 7.5 shares of series G convertible
preferred stock (the “Series G Preferred Stock”). The
Notes as amended mature on May 8, 2022, unless earlier converted.
The Notes accrue interest at a rate of 8% per annum, subject to
increase to 20% per annum upon and during the occurrence of an
event of default. Interest is payable in cash on a quarterly basis
beginning on December 31, 2020. The May 2020 Notes are convertible
at any time, at the holder’s option, into shares of our
common stock at an initial conversion price of $0.25 per share,
subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations (with a maximum
ownership limit of 9.99%) and subject to a decrease in the
conversion price to the greater of (i) $0.01 or (ii) 75% of the
average VWAP of the Common Stock for the immediately preceding five
(5) Trading Days on the date of conversion. The conversion price is
also subject to adjustment due to certain events, including stock
dividends, and stock splits. The Notes may be redeemed by the
Company, in its sole discretion, in an amount equal to 110% of the
principal amount, interest and any other amounts owed under the
Notes, subject to certain limitations.
Each Warrant is
exercisable for a period of two years from the date of issuance at
an initial exercise price of $0.50 per share, subject to certain
beneficial ownership limitations (with a maximum ownership limit of
9.99%). The exercise price is also subject to adjustment due to
certain events, including stock dividends, stock splits and in
connection with the issuance by the Company of common stock or
common stock equivalents at an effective price per share lower than
the exercise price then in effect. The May 2020 Investors may
exercise the Warrants on a cashless basis if the shares of common
stock underlying the Warrants are not then registered pursuant to
an effective registration statement. In the event the May 2020
Investors exercise the Warrants on a cashless basis, then we will
not receive any proceeds.
The Series G
Preferred Stock have no voting rights and shall convert into 7.5%
of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock upon
consummation of a reverse stock split of our Common
Stock.
The Notes rank
senior to all current and future indebtedness of the Company and
are secured by substantially all of the assets of the
Company.
A Registration
Rights Agreement was executed in connection with the issuance of
the Notes, the Warrants and the Preferred Stock. If we fail to have
it declared effective by the SEC within 150 days following the date
of the financing, or if the Company fails to maintain the
effectiveness of the registration statement until all of such
shares of common stock have been sold or are otherwise able to be
sold pursuant to Rue 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, without any volume or manner of sale restrictions, then
the Company will be obligated to pay to the May 2020 Investors
liquidated damages equal to then, in addition to any other rights
the May 2020 Investors may under applicable law, upon the
occurrence of any such event and on each monthly anniversary of
thereafter until the event is cured, the Company shall pay to the
May 2020 Investors an amount in cash equal to their pro rata
portion of $50,000, provided such amount shall increase by $25,000
on every thirty (30) day anniversary, until such events are
satisfied.
The Company has
accounted for these Notes as a financing transaction, wherein the
net proceeds that were received were allocated to the financial
instrument issued. Prior to making the accounting allocation, the
Company evaluated the notes under ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging
(“ASC 815”). ASC 815 generally requires the analysis of
embedded terms and features that have characteristics of
derivatives to be evaluated for bifurcation and separate accounting
in instances where their economic risks and characteristics are not
clearly and closely related to the risks of the host contract. The
material embedded derivative feature was a true up provision. The
true up provision bears risks of equity which were not clearly and
closely related to the host debt agreement and required
bifurcation.
We did analyze the
detachable warrants under ASC 480-10 and ASC 815. The warrants did
not fall under the guidance of ASC 480-10. After analyzing the
warrants under ASC 815, it was determined that the warrants did
meet all the requirements for equity classification under guidance
of ASC 815-40-25-1 through 6.
April 30, 2020 Sutton Global Note $227,525 Face Value
On April 30, 2020,
the former CEO converted his payable into a convertible note with a
face value of $300,000. The note has a coupon rate of 6% and a
maturity date of December 31, 2021. The note is convertible at a
rate of $.0005 per share. Since the note added a conversion option,
it resulted in a debt modification requiring the Company to record
a loss on modification of debt in the amount of $98,825. The
Company recorded interest expense related to this note in the
amount of $4,751 for the years ended December 31, 2020. As of
December 31, 2020 the balance of the note was $227,525 and is
recorded on the balance sheet as a non-current
liability.
Notes issued between August 25, 2020 and September 14, 2020
Aggregate $725,333 Face Value
Between August 25,
2020 and September 14, 2020, the Company issued convertible notes
in an aggregate principal amount of $436,444 for an aggregate
purchase price of $395,000. In connection with the issuance of the
Notes, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of
872,887 shares of Common Stock. The notes have a coupon rate of 8%
and a maturity date of one year.
On August 27, 2020,
a related party reassigned $288,889 in principal to an unrelated
party.
After the
reassigned amount, the aggregate face value of these notes is
$725,333.
The Company has
accounted for these Notes as a financing transaction, wherein the
net proceeds that were received were allocated to the financial
instrument issued. Prior to making the accounting allocation, the
Company evaluated the notes under ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC
815”). ASC 815 generally requires the analysis of embedded
terms and features that have characteristics of derivatives to be
evaluated for bifurcation and separate accounting in instances
where their economic risks and characteristics are not clearly and
closely related to the risks of the host contract. None of the
terms and features embedded in the notes required bifurcation and
liability classification.
We did analyze the
detachable warrants under ASC 480-10 and ASC 815. The warrants did

warrants under ASC 815, it was determined that the warrants did
meet all the requirements for equity classification under guidance
of ASC 815-40-25-1 through 6.

On November 3, 2020, the Company entered into

principal amount of $3.8 million for an aggregate purchase price of
$3.5 million (collectively, the “November 2020 Notes”
and together with the May 2020 Notes, the “Notes”). In
connection with the issuance of the November 2020 Notes, we issued
to the November 2020 Investors 903,226 shares of common
stock. The November 2020 Notes are convertible at any time,
at the holder’s option, into shares of our common stock at a
conversion price of $0.25 per share.

Derivative liabilities
|
The May 2020 notes
embodied certain terms and conditions that were not clearly and
closely related to the host debt agreement in terms of economic
risks and characteristics. These terms and features consist of the
true up provision, which provides that in the event that the
proceeds received by the Holder from the sale of all the Conversion
Shares and up to 50% of the Commitment Shares (“Hurdle
Shares”) does not equal at least $750,000 (the “Hurdle
Return”) on June 1, 2021 (the “True-Up Payment
Date”), the Company must pay the Holders their pro rata
portion of an amount in cash (the “True-Up Payment”)
equal to the Hurdle Return less the proceeds previously realized by
the Holder from the sale of the Hurdle Shares, net of brokerage
commissions and any other fees incurred by Holder in connection
with the sale of any Hurdle Shares (“Net
Proceeds”).

Current accounting
principles that are provided in ASC 815 - Derivatives and Hedging require
derivative financial instruments to be classified in liabilities
and carried at fair value with changes recorded in income. The
Company has selected a present value technique to fair value the
true up provision. The maximum amount of cash the Company would
have to deliver is $750,000, which is equal to the hurdle return. A
present value is applied to the hurdle return to come up with the
derivative liability each period.

stock.
On
December 7, 2020, 1,000,000 shares of Series F Preferred stock were
converted into 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred
Stock.
Series G
— As of December 31, 2020 and
December 31, 2019 there were 0 and 0 shares issued and outstanding,
respectively. In connection with the May 8, 2020 financing,
the Company issued 8 of Series G Preferred Stock. The Series G
Preferred has the following designations:
●
Convertible into 1%
of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common
stock at any time at the option of the holder and votes on an as
converted basis.
●
The shares will
automatically convert to common shares once the 500 to 1 reverse
split is effective.
●
In
the event of reorganization this Class of Preferred will not be
affected by any such capital reorganization.
●
Voting:
The holder of this Series of Preferred shall not be entitled to
vote.
On
December 7, 2020, the 7.5 shares of Series G Preferred Stock were
converted into 6,199,135 shares of common stock.
The Company has evaluated each series of the
Preferred Stock for proper classification under ASC 480 -
Distinguishing
Liabilities from Equity and ASC
815 - Derivatives and
Hedging.
ASC
480 generally requires liability classification for financial
instruments that are certain to be redeemed, represent obligations
to purchase shares of stock or represent obligations to issue a
variable number of common shares. The Company concluded that each
series of Preferred Stock was not within the scope of ASC 480
because none of the three conditions for liability classification
was present.
ASC
815 generally requires an analysis embedded terms and features that
have characteristics of derivatives to be evaluated for bifurcation
and separate accounting in instances where their economic risks and
characteristics are not clearly and closely related to the risks of
the host contract. However, in order to perform this analysis, the
Company was first required to evaluate the economic risks and
characteristics of each series of the Preferred Stock in its
entirety as being either akin to equity or akin to debt. The
Company’s evaluation concluded that each series of Preferred
Stock was more akin to an equity-like contract largely due to the
fact the financial instrument is not mandatorily redeemable for
cash and the holders are not entitled to any dividends. Other
features of the Preferred Stock that operate like equity, such as
the conversion option and voting feature, afforded more evidence,
in the Company’s view, that the instrument is more akin to
equity. As a result, the embedded conversion features are clearly
and closely related to their equity host instruments. Therefore,
the embedded conversion features do not require bifurcation and
classification as derivative liabilities.
Private Placement
On
December 8, 2020, the Company entered into a Private Placement
Agreement for the purchase of up to an aggregate $2,500,000 at
$0.25 per share. In connection with the Private Placement, the
Company sold 8,700,000 shares for an aggregate $2,175,000. The
shares were issued on January 15, 2021.
Placement Agent Warrants
In
connection with the December 8, 2020 Private Placement Agreement,
placement agents were given warrants to purchase 10,000,000 shares
of the Company’s common stock for a seven year period at an
exercise price of $2 per share. These warrants were valued at
$15,500,000 and met equity classification. $2,100,000 of the
$15,500,000 was recorded in equity as stock issue costs and the
remaining $13,400,000 was recorded in other expenses on the
statement of operations.
Stock options
During
the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company granted the following
stock options to employees:
●
On
October 12, 2020, the Company granted 10,000,000 shares vesting
with 25% vesting immediately and the remaining evenly over three
years with an exercise price of $0.485 per share.
●
On
November 1, 2020, the Company granted 10,500,000 shares vesting
equally over three years with an exercise price of $0.55 per
share.
The Company selected the Black-Scholes-Merton
(“BSM”) valuation technique to calculate the grant date
fair values for the stock options because it believes that this
technique is reflective of all the inputs that market participants
would likely consider in transactions involving warrants. The
inputs include the strike price, underlying price, term to
expiration, volatility, and risk-free interest rate.
The grant date fair value of the stock
options was $10,231,249. Of that amount, $2,326,298 was recorded in
stock-compensation expense during the year ended December 31,
2020.

Commitments and contingencies
|
During the normal
course of business, the Company may be exposed to litigation. When
the Company becomes aware of potential litigation, it evaluates the
merits of the case in accordance with FASB ASC 450-20-50,
Contingencies. The Company
evaluates its exposure to the matter, possible legal or settlement
strategies and the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome. If the
Company determines that an unfavorable outcome is probable and can
be reasonably estimated, it establishes the necessary accruals. As
of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company is not
aware of any contingent liabilities that should be reflected in the
consolidated financial statements.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the
Board of Directors and Stockholders of GoIP Global,
Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have
audited the accompanying balance sheets of GoIP Global, Inc. (the
“Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the
related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’
deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related
notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In
our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Company as of
December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and
its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a
public accounting firm registered with the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required
to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with
the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the
PCAOB.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to
perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.
As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding
of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our
audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of
material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to
error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those
risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis,
evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial
statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as
a Going Concern
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that
the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note
4, the Company has incurred net losses and negative cash flow from
operations since inception. These factors, and the need for
additional financing in order for the Company to meet its business
plans raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to
continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified with
respect to that matter.
We have
served as the Company’s auditor since 2019.

GOIP GLOBAL, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1.Nature of operations
GoIP
Global. Inc. ("GoIP or the "Company”) was incorporated on May
8, 2003 as E Education Network, Inc. (“EEN”) under the
laws of the State of Nevada. On August 10, 2005, the
Company’s name was changed to GoIP Global, Inc. On December
28, 2017 the company was redomiciled in Colorado and is now a
Colorado corporation.
GoIP
business operations deals with The Internet of Value (IoV) which enables
the instant exchange of value transactions like currencies, stocks,
votes, securities, intellectual property, music, scientific
discoveries, and more without intermediaries. Similar to how
information is exchanged across the internet today. This is
powerful because it enables a future for everyone to share in the
transfer of value. The Internet of
Value is poised to reshape and transform e-Commerce and the
global economy. But for it to become reality and adopted, it must
ensure trust.
2.Summary of significant accounting policies
Basis of Presentation
The
financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America (“GAAP”).
Use of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. The most significant assumptions and
estimates relate to the valuation of equity issued for services,
valuation of equity associated with convertible debt, the valuation
of derivative liabilities, and the valuation of deferred tax
assets. Actual results could differ from these
estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards
Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from contracts with
customers,” (Topic 606). Revenue is recognized when a
customer obtains control of promised goods or services. In
addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount,
timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from
contracts with customers. The amount of revenue that is recorded
reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in
exchange for those goods. The Company applies the following
five-step model in order to determine this amount: (i)
identification of the promised goods in the contract; (ii)
determination of whether the promised goods are performance
obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of
the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including
the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the
transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v)
recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each
performance obligation. The Company’s main revenue stream is
from services. The Company recognizes as revenues the amount of the
transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance
obligation when the performance obligation is satisfied or as it is
satisfied. Generally, the Company's performance obligations are
transferred to customers at a point in time, typically upon
delivery.
The
Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is
probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is
entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to
the customer. Once a contract is determined to be within the scope
of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606 at
contract inception, the Company reviews the contract to determine
which performance obligations the Company must deliver and which of
these performance obligations are distinct. The Company recognizes
as revenues the amount of the transaction price that is allocated
to the respective performance obligation when the performance
obligation is satisfied or as it is satisfied. Generally, the
Company's performance obligations are transferred to customers at a
point in time, typically upon delivery.
Fair Value Measurements and Fair Value of Financial
Instruments
The
Company adopted Accounting Standard Codification
(“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements. ASC Topic 820
clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for
measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to
classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as
follows:
Level
1: Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for
identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement
date.
Level
2: Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and
liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or
similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active,
inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs
derived from or corroborated by observable market
data.
Level
3: Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting
entity's own assumptions on what assumptions the market
participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on
the best available information.
The
estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including
all current liabilities are carried at historical cost basis, which
approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of
these instruments.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC
subtopic 825-10, Financial
Instruments ("ASC 825-10") requires disclosure of the fair
value of certain financial instruments. The carrying value of cash
and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities as
reflected in the balance sheets, approximate fair value because of
the short-term maturity of these instruments. All other significant
financial assets, financial liabilities and equity instruments of
the Company are either recognized or disclosed in the financial
statements together with other information relevant for making a
reasonable assessment of future cash flows, interest rate risk and
credit risk. Where practicable the fair values of financial assets
and financial liabilities have been determined and disclosed;
otherwise only available information pertinent to fair value has
been disclosed.
The
Company follows ASC subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
("ASC 820-10") and ASC 825-10, which permits entities to choose to
measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair
value.
Derivative Liability
The
Company evaluates convertible instruments, options, warrants or
other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded
components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be
separately accounted for under ASC Topic 815, "Derivatives and Hedging”. The
result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the
derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded
as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a
liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statement of
operations as other income (expense). Upon conversion or exercise
of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value
at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to
equity. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity
that become subject to reclassification under ASC Topic 815 are
reclassified to liabilities at the fair value of the instrument on
the reclassification date.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For
purposes of the Statements of Cash Flows, the Company considers
highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months
or less to be cash equivalents.
Stock Based Compensation Expense
The
Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with the
provisions of FASB ASC Topic 718, “Accounting for Stock
Compensation,” which establishes accounting standards
for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity
instruments for goods or services. In accordance with guidance
provided under ASC Topic 718, the Company recognizes an expense for
the fair value of its stock awards at the time of grant and the
fair value of its outstanding stock options as they vest, whether
held by employees or others. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018,
there were no options outstanding, respectively. For the year ended
December 31, 2018, the Company issued 30,000,000 shares to
non-employees for services and recorded $24,000 in expense related
to the shares.
Convertible Debentures
If the
conversion features of conventional convertible debt provide for a
rate of conversion that is below market value at issuance, this
feature is characterized as a beneficial conversion feature
("BCF"). A BCF is recorded by the Company as a debt discount
pursuant to ASC Topic 470-20 "Debt
with Conversion and Other Options". In those circumstances,
the convertible debt is recorded net of the discount related to the
BCF, and the Company amortizes the discount to interest expense,
over the life of the debt.
Advertising, Marketing and Public Relations
The
Company follows the policy of charging the costs of advertising,
marketing, and public relations to expense as incurred. The Company
recorded advertising expenses in the amount of $3,000 and $0 for
the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018,
respectively.
Income Taxes
Income
taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future
tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
their respective tax bases and operating loss, capital loss and tax
credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable
income in the years in which those temporary differences are
expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax
assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in
income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The
Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those
positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized
income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is
greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition
or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in
judgment occurs. The Company records interest and penalties related
to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of general and
administrative expenses. Our federal tax return and any state tax
returns are not currently under examination.
The
Company has adopted FASB ASC 740-10, Accounting for Income Taxes, which
requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting
and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and
liabilities are computed annually from differences between the
financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities that
will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on
enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the
differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation
allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax
assets to the amount expected to be realized.
Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
The
Company computes loss per common share, in accordance with
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic
260, Earnings Per Share,
which requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per
share. Basic income or loss per common share is computed by
dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income or loss
per common share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding, plus the
issuance of common shares, if dilutive, that could result from the
exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In
February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which will require
lessees to recognize almost all leases on their balance sheet as a
right-of-use asset and a lease liability. For income statement
purposes, the FASB retained a dual model, requiring leases to be
classified as either operating or finance. Classification will be
based on criteria that are largely similar to those applied in
current lease accounting, but without explicit bright lines. Lessor
accounting is similar to the current model, but updated to align
with certain changes to the lessee model and the new revenue
recognition standard. This ASU is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within
those fiscal years. The Company has adopted this guidance effective
January 1, 2019. The Company currently has no leases.
In May
2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers,
issued as a new Topic, ASC Topic 606. The new revenue recognition
standard supersedes all existing revenue recognition guidance.
Under this ASU, an entity should recognize revenue when it
transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that
reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be
entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2015-14,
issued in August 2015, deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09
to the first quarter of 2018, with early adoption permitted in the
first quarter of 2017. The Company has adopted this guidance
effective January 1, 2018. The adoption of this standard did not
have a material impact on the financial statements.
In
August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update
(“ASU”) No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230):
Classification of Certain Cash
Receipts and Cash Payments. This update addresses a
diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash
payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash
flows under Topic 230, Statement of Cash Flows, and other Topics.
The amendments in this Update are effective for public business
entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and
interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is
permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company has
adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2018. The adoption of
this standard did not have a material impact on the financial
statements.
On June
20, 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation
(Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment
Accounting. ASU 2018-07 is intended to reduce cost and complexity
and to improve financial reporting for share-based payments to
nonemployees (for example, service providers, external legal
counsel, suppliers, etc.). Under the new standard, companies will
no longer be required to value non-employee awards differently from
employee awards. Meaning that companies will value all equity
classified awards at their grant-date under ASC 718 and forgo
revaluing the award after this date. The Company adopted ASU
2018-07 on January 1, 2018. The adoption of this standard did not
have a material impact on the financial statements.
The
Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are
in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on
the consolidated financial statements unless otherwise disclosed,
and the Company does not believe that there are any other new
accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a
material impact on its financial position or results of
operations.
3.Concentration of credit risks
The
Company maintains accounts with financial institutions. All cash in
checking accounts is non-interest bearing and is fully insured by
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). At times, cash
balances may exceed the maximum coverage provided by the FDIC on
insured depositor accounts. The Company believes it mitigates its
risk by depositing its cash and cash equivalents with major
financial institutions. There were no cash deposits in excess of
FDIC insurance at December 31, 2019 and 2018.
4.Going Concern
The
Company's financial statements are prepared using the GAAP
applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization
of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of
business. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had $31 and $0
in cash and $335,952 and $943,761 in negative working capital,
respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the
Company had a net loss of $292,416 and $646,190, respectively.
Continued losses may adversely affect the liquidity of the Company
in the future. In view of the matters described in the preceding
paragraph, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset
amounts shown in the accompanying balance sheets is dependent upon
continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent
upon the Company's ability to raise additional capital, obtain
financing and to succeed in its future operations. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or
amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary
should the Company be unable to continue as a going
concern.
The
Company has operating costs and expenses at the present time for
development of its business activities. The Company, however, will
be required to raise additional capital over the next twelve months
to meet its current administrative expenses, and it may do so in
connection with or in anticipation of possible acquisition
transactions. This financing may take the form of additional sales
of its equity securities loans from its directors and or
convertible notes. There is no assurance that additional financing
will be available, if required, or on terms favorable to the
Company.
5.Related party transactions
The
balance in related party payables amounted to $302,031 and $401,517
for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The
Company has an oral agreement with the CEO, who provides management
services through a private entity that he owns. The expenses are
classified in the statements of operations as general and
administrative expenses. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and
2018, the Company accrued $90,000 and $120,000 in management
service fees to the Company’s CEO, respectively.
During
the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company’s CEO converted
$100,000 of accrued management services into 375,000,000 shares of
common stock.
6.Convertible promissory notes
The
Company issued multiple convertible notes. The Company has
accounted for these Notes as financing transactions, wherein the
net proceeds that were received were allocated to the financial
instrument issued. Prior to making the accounting allocation, the
Company evaluated the notes under ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC
815”). ASC 815 generally requires the analysis embedded terms
and features that have characteristics of derivatives to be
evaluated for bifurcation and separate accounting in instances
where their economic risks and characteristics are not clearly and
closely related to the risks of the host contract. The material
embedded derivative features consisted of the embedded conversion
option and a buy-in put. The conversion option bears risks of
equity which were not clearly and closely related to the host debt
agreement and required bifurcation. Current accounting principles
that are also provided in ASC 815 do not permit an issuer to
account separately for individual derivative terms and features
that require bifurcation and liability classification. Rather, such
terms and features must be and were bundled together and fair
valued as a single, compound embedded derivative.
Seacor Note
On
January 30, 2018, the Company entered into a convertible promissory
note agreement (the “Seacor Note”) with a lender for a
face value of $12,500. The coupon rate is 12% per annum and the
maturity date is January 31, 2019. The note is convertible into
common stock at the lender’s option at $.0001 per share. The
proceeds were received in three tranches: (i) $5,000 on January 30,
2018, (ii) $5,000 on February 23, 2018 and (iii) $2,500 on March
23, 2018.
Based
on the previous conclusions, the Company allocated the cash
proceeds first to the derivative component at its fair value with
the residual allocated to the host debt contract, as
follows:
|
|
Compound embedded
derivative
|
$78,082
|
Day-one derivative
loss
|
(65,582)
|
|
$12,500
|
The
proceeds were allocated to the compound embedded derivative. This
resulted in a day-one derivative loss and therefore, there was no
value allocated to the note on the inception date. The Note will be
accreted up to its face value of $12,500 over the life of the Note
based on an effective interest rate. Amortization expense for the
years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 amounted to $3,697
and
$8,803,
respectively. On December 31, 2019, the holder converted the
$12,500 face value plus $2,795 in accrued interest into 152,945,205
shares of common stock. The carrying value of the Note as of
December 31, 2019 and 2018 amounted to $0 and $8,803,
respectively.
Oscaleta Notes
On
February 12, 2018, the Company entered into a convertible
promissory note agreement (the “Oscaleta Note 1”) with
a lender for a face value of $5,000. The coupon rate is 12% per
annum and the maturity date is February 12, 2019. The note is
convertible into common stock at the lender’s option at
$.0001 per share. On March 9, 2018, the Company entered into a
convertible promissory note agreement (the “Oscaleta Note
2”) with a lender for a face value of $10,000. The coupon
rate is 12% per annum and the maturity date is March 9, 2019. The
note is convertible into common stock at the lender’s option
at $.0001 per share.
Based
on the previous conclusions, the Company allocated the cash
proceeds first to the derivative component at its fair value with
the residual allocated to the host debt contract, as
follows:
|
|
Compound embedded
derivative
|
$62,649
|
Day-one derivative
loss
|
(47,649)
|
|
$15,000
|
The
proceeds were allocated to the compound embedded derivative. This
resulted in a day-one derivative loss and therefore, there was no
value allocated to the note on the inception date. The Note will be
accreted up to its face value of $15,000 over the life of Note
based on an effective interest rate. Amortization expense for the
years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 amounted to $8,634 and
$6,366, respectively. On December 31, 2019, the holder converted
$15,000 face value plus $3,309 in accrued interest into 183,090,500
shares of common stock. The carrying value of the Note as of
December 31, 2019 and 2018 amounted to $0 and $6,366,
respectively.
Sky Direct Note 1
On
January 16, 2018, the Company entered into a convertible promissory
note agreement (the “Sky Direct Note 1”) with a lender
for a face value of $49,400. The coupon rate is 12% per annum and
the maturity date is January 17, 2019. The note is convertible into
common stock at the lender’s option at $.0001 per share. The
proceeds were received in thirteen tranches: (1) $5,000 on January
16, 2018, (2)
$1,000
on July 17, 2018, (3) $2,500 on October 22, 2018, (4) $5,000 on
October 29, 2018, (5) $7,500 on November 7, 2018, (6)
$2,500
on
November 9, 2018, (7) $5,000 on November 13, 2018, (8) $3,000 on
November 20, 2018, (9) $3,000 on November 28, 2018
(10),
$2,000
on November 30, 2018, (11) $6,000 on January 9, 2019, (12) $1,400
on January 17, 2019 and (13) $5,500 on February 8,
2019.
Based
on the previous conclusions, the Company allocated the cash
proceeds first to the derivative component at its fair value with
the residual allocated to the host debt contract, as
follows:
|
|
Compound embedded
derivative
|
$388,631
|
Day-one derivative
loss
|
(339,231)
|
|
$49,400
|
The
proceeds were allocated to the compound embedded derivative. This
resulted in a day-one derivative loss and therefore, there was no
value allocated to the note on the inception date. The Note will be
accreted up to its face value of $49,400 over the life of Note
based on an effective interest rate. Amortization expense for the
years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 amounted to $36,992 and
$12,408, respectively. On December 31, 2019, the holder converted
$49,400 face value plus $6,381 in accrued interest into 557,806,137
shares of common stock. The carrying value of the Note as of
December 31, 2019 and 2018 amounted to $0 and $12,408,
respectively.
Sky Direct Note 2
On
February 15, 2019, the Company entered into a convertible
promissory note agreement (the “Sky Direct Note 2”)
with a lender for a face value of $38,100. The coupon rate is 12%
per annum and the maturity date is February 16, 2020. The note is
convertible into common stock at the lender’s option at
$.0001 per share. The proceeds were received in seven tranches: (1)
$4,000 on February 15, 2019, (2) $7,000 on February 27, 2019, (3)
$13,000 on March 1, 2019, (4) $6,600 on March 6, 2019, (5) $2,500
on March 27, 2019, (6) $2,000 on April 11, 2019 and (7) $3,000 on
April 30, 2019.
Based
on the previous conclusions, the Company allocated the cash
proceeds first to the derivative component at its fair value with
the residual allocated to the host debt contract, as
follows:
|
|
Compound embedded
derivative
|
$263,418
|
Day-one derivative
loss
|
(225,318)
|
|
$38,100

The
proceeds were allocated to the compound embedded derivative. This
resulted in a day-one derivative loss and therefore, there was no
value allocated to the note on the inception date. The Note will be
accreted up to its face value of $38,100 over the life of Note
based on an effective interest rate. Amortization expense for the
year ended December 31, 2019 amounted to $38,100. On December 31,
2019, the holder converted $38,100 face value plus $3,725 in

$0.
Schaeffer Note
On
January 24, 2019, the Company entered into a convertible promissory
note agreement (the “Schaeffer Note”) with a lender for
a face value of $30,000. The coupon rate is 12% per annum and the
maturity date is July 15, 2019. The note is convertible into common
stock at the lender’s option at $.0001 per
share.
Based
on the previous conclusions, the Company allocated the cash
proceeds first to the derivative component at its fair value with
the residual allocated to the host debt contract, as
follows:
|
|
Compound embedded
derivative
|
$179,548
|
Day-one derivative

|
(149,548)
|

The
proceeds were allocated to the compound embedded derivative. This
resulted in a day-one derivative loss and therefore, there was no
value allocated to the note on the inception date. The Note will be
accreted up to its face value of $30,000 over the life of Note
based on an effective interest rate. Amortization expense for the
year ended December 31, 2019 amounted to $30,000. On December 31,
2019, the holder converted $30,000 face value plus $3,363 in
accrued interest into 333,632,877 shares of common stock. The
carrying value of the Note as of December 31, 2019 amounted to
$0.
7.Derivative financial instruments

December 31, 2019, the convertible notes were converted in full and
as a result the derivative liabilities at December 31, 2019
amounted to $0. The following tables summarize the components of
the Company’s derivative liabilities and linked common shares

The
Company’s face value $172,500 Convertible Promissory Notes
issued between January 16, 2018 and November 30, 2018 gave rise to
derivative financial instruments. The Notes embodied certain terms
and conditions that were not clearly and closely related to the
host debt agreement in terms of economic risks and characteristics.
These terms and features consist of the embedded conversion
option.
Current
accounting principles that are provided in ASC 815 - Derivatives and Hedging require
derivative financial instruments to be classified in liabilities
and carried at fair value with changes recorded in income. In
addition, the standards do not permit an issuer to account
separately for individual derivative terms and features embedded in
hybrid financial instruments that require bifurcation and liability
classification as derivative financial instruments. Rather, such
terms and features must be bundled together and fair valued as a
single, compound embedded derivative. The Company has selected the
Monte Carlo Simulations valuation technique to fair value the
compound embedded derivative because it believes that this
technique is reflective of all significant assumption types, and
ranges of assumption inputs, that market participants would likely
consider in transactions involving compound embedded derivatives.
Such assumptions include, among other inputs, interest risk
assumptions, credit risk assumptions and redemption behaviors in
addition to traditional inputs for option models such as market
trading volatility and risk-free rates. The Monte Carlo Simulations
technique is a level three valuation technique because it requires
the development of significant internal assumptions in addition to
observable market indicators.
Significant inputs
and results arising from the Monte Carlo Simulations process are as
follows for the compound embedded derivative that has been
bifurcated from the Convertible Notes and classified in
liabilities:

|
The
Company has evaluated each series of the Preferred Stock for proper
classification under ASC 480 - Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity
and ASC 815 - Derivatives and
Hedging.
ASC 480
generally requires liability classification for financial
instruments that are certain to be redeemed, represent obligations
to purchase shares of stock or represent obligations to issue a
variable number of common shares. The Company concluded that each
series of Preferred Stock was not within the scope of ASC 480
because none of the three conditions for liability classification
was present.
ASC 815
generally requires an analysis embedded terms and features that
have characteristics of derivatives to be evaluated for bifurcation
and separate accounting in instances where their economic risks and
characteristics are not clearly and closely related to the risks of
the host contract. However, in order to perform this analysis, the
Company was first required to evaluate the economic risks and
characteristics of each series of the Preferred Stock in its
entirety as being either akin to equity or akin to debt. The
Company’s evaluation concluded that each series of Preferred
Stock was more akin to an equity-like contract largely due to the
fact the financial instrument is not mandatorily redeemable for
cash and the holders are not entitled to any dividends. Other
features of the Preferred Stock that operate like equity, such as
the conversion option and voting feature, afforded more evidence,
in the Company’s view, that the instrument is more akin to
equity. As a result, the embedded conversion features are clearly
and closely related to their equity host instruments. Therefore,
the embedded conversion features do not require bifurcation and
classification as derivative liabilities.
9. Commitments and contingencies
During
the normal course of business, the Company may be exposed to
litigation. When the Company becomes aware of potential litigation,
it evaluates the merits of the case in accordance with FASB ASC
450-20-50, Contingencies.
The Company evaluates its exposure to the matter, possible legal or
settlement strategies and the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome.
If the Company determines that an unfavorable outcome is probable
and can be reasonably estimated, it establishes the necessary
accruals. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company is not
aware of any contingent liabilities that should be reflected in the
financial statements.
10. Income taxes
The
Company adopted the provisions of uncertain tax positions as
addressed in ASC 740-10-65-1. As a result of the implementation of
ASC 740-10-65-1, the Company recognized no increase in the
liability for unrecognized tax benefits. As of December 31, 2019
the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately
$17,502,305 that may be available to reduce future years’
taxable income in varying amounts through 2031. Future tax benefits
which may arise as a result of these losses have not been
recognized in these financial statements, as their realization is
determined not likely to occur and accordingly, the Company has
recorded a valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset relating
to these tax loss carry-forwards.
The
valuation allowance at December 31, 2019 was $3,675,484. The net
changes in valuation allowance during the years ended December 31,
2019 and 2018 was $61,407 and $135,700, respectively. In assessing
the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers
whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the
deferred income tax assets will not be realized.
The
components of the net deferred tax asset (liability) at December
31, 2019 and, 2018 and the statutory tax rate, the effective tax
rate and the elected amount of the valuation allowance are

INDEPENDENT
ACCOUNTANT’S REVIEW REPORT
To
Management
PTGI
International Carrier Services, Inc.
New
York, NY
We have
reviewed the accompanying financial statements of PTGI
International Carrier Services, Inc. and subsidiaries, which
comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2020
and 2019, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
comprehensive income, changes in stockholder’s equity, and
cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019,
and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements (the
“financial statements”). A review includes primarily
applying analytical procedures to management’s financial data
and making inquiries of company management. A review is
substantially less in scope than an audit, the objective of which
is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements
as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an
opinion.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial
Statements
Management
is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these
financial statements in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes
the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control
relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error.
Accountant’s Responsibility
Our
responsibility is to conduct the review engagement in accordance
with Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services
promulgated by the Accounting and Review Services Committee of the
AICPA. Those standards require us to perform procedures to obtain
limited assurance as a basis for reporting whether we are aware of
any material modifications that should be made to the financial
statements for them to be in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. We believe that
the results of our procedures provide a reasonable basis for our
conclusion.
Accountant’s Conclusion
Based
on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the accompanying financial statements in order
for them to be in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as
a Going Concern
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that
the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note
4 to the financial statements, the Company had significant net
losses for the period ended December 31, 2019 and received
subsequent funding from its parent. Management’s evaluation
of the events and conditions and management’s plans regarding
the matter also are described in Note 4. The realization of a major
portion of its assets is dependent upon the success of its future
operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.

PTGI INTERNATIONAL CARRIER
SERVICES INC AND
SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS
PTGI INTERNATIONAL CARRIER SERVICES INC (PTGI) was
incorporated on December 13, 2007 as Arbinet Carrier Services, Inc.
under the laws of the State of Delaware. On February 25, 2013, the
Company’s name was changed to PTGI International Carrier
Services, Inc. PTGI is a global wholesale telecommunications
provider offering a network of direct routes and provides premium
voice communication services for national telecommunications
operators, mobile operators, wholesale carriers, prepaid operators,
voice over internet protocol service operators and internet service
providers. PTGI provides a quality service via direct routes and by
forming strong relationships with carefully selected
partners.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America (“GAAP”).
Principles of Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PTGI
International Carrier Services, Inc. and its wholly owned
subsidiaries Go2Tel.com, Inc., a company organized under the laws
of the State of Florida, GU2TEL Spain, SLU, a Spanish entity, PTGI
International Carrier Services, Ltd, a United Kingdom entity and
PTGI-ICS OPSRO S.R.L, a Romanian entity, collectively referred to
as the Company. All material intercompany accounts, transactions
and profits were eliminated in consolidation. PTGI-ICS OPSRO S.R.L,
a company organized under the laws of Romania was deregistered
effective September 30, 2020.
Use of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these
estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards
Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from contracts with
customers,” (Topic 606). Revenue is recognized when a
customer obtains control of promised goods or services. In
addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount,
timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from
contracts with customers. The amount of revenue that is recorded
reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in
exchange for those services. The Company applies the following
five-step model in order to determine this amount: (i)
identification of the promised services in the contract; (ii)
determination of whether the promised services are performance
obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of
the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including
the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the
transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v)
recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each
performance obligation. The Company’s main revenue stream is
from the provision of telecommunications services. The Company
recognizes as revenues the amount of the transaction price that is
allocated to the respective performance obligation when the
performance obligation is satisfied or as it is satisfied.
Generally, the Company's performance obligations are transferred to
customers at a point in time, typically upon delivery.
PTGI
operates an extensive network of direct routes and offers premium
voice communication services for carrying a mix of business,
residential and carrier long-distance traffic, data and transit
traffic. PTGI has both a customer and vendor relationship with most
parties. PTGI sells the customer routing services through the PTGI
supplier routes on incoming calls and then PTGI purchases routing
services from other vendor’s supplier routes in order to
complete the call. Revenue is earned based on the number of minutes
during a call multiplied by the price per minute, and is recorded
upon completion of a call. Incomplete calls are not revenues earned
by PTGI and may occur as a result of technical issues or because
the customer’s credit limit was exceeded and thus the
customer routing of traffic was prevented. Revenue for a period is
calculated from information received through PTGI’s billing
software, such as minutes and market rates. PTGI evaluates gross
versus net revenue recognition for each of its contractual
arrangements by assessing indicators of control and significant
influence to determine whether the PTGI acts as a principal (i.e.
gross recognition) or an agent (i.e. net recognition). PTGI has
determined that it acts as a principal for all of its performance
obligations in connection with all revenue earned as PTGI may
accept or reject calls, determines the routing decision and routing
vendor and has the risk of financial loss on revenues from
customers and amounts owed to the vendors. Net revenue represents
gross revenue, net of allowance for doubtful accounts receivable,
service credits and service adjustments. Cost of revenue includes
network costs that consist of access, transport and termination
costs. The majority of PTGI’s cost of revenue is variable,
primarily based upon minutes of use, with transmission and
termination costs being the most significant expense.
Accounts Receivable
Trade
accounts receivable are recorded at the net invoice value and are
not interest bearing. The Company considers receivables past due
based on the payment terms. The Company reviews its exposure to
accounts receivable and reserves specific amounts if collectability
is no longer reasonably assured. The Company also reserves a
percentage of its trade receivable balance based on collection
history and current economic trends that might impact the level of
future credit losses. The Company re-evaluates such reserves on a
regular basis and adjusts its reserves as needed. The Company also
has credit insurance on certain of its receivables to lessen the
risk of uncollectible accounts. Based on the Company’s
operating history and customer base, bad debts to date have not
been material.
Forward contracts
PTGI
enters into forward contracts for the purchase and sale of currency
futures. Open positions are recorded at market value, with
related unrealized gains and losses, included in income.
Market value has been determined based on published prices.
Unrealized gains and losses are included in investments in futures
contracts and futures contract liabilities, respectively, on the
accompanying balance sheet. The contractual amounts of these
purchases and sales, amounting to approximately $10,958,540 and
$10,957,340 at September 30, 2020.
Fair Value Measurements and Fair Value of Financial
Instruments
Accounting
Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, clarifies the
definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair
value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the
inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level
1: Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for
identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement
date.
Level
2: Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and
liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or
similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active,
inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs
derived from or corroborated by observable market
data.
Level
3: Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting
entity's own assumptions on what assumptions the market
participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on
the best available information.
The
estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including
all current liabilities are carried at historical cost basis, which
approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of
these instruments.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC
subtopic 825-10, Financial
Instruments ("ASC 825-10") requires disclosure of the fair
value of certain financial instruments. The carrying value of cash
and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and
accrued liabilities as reflected in the balance sheets, approximate
fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.
All other significant financial assets, financial liabilities and
equity instruments of the Company are either recognized or
disclosed in the financial statements together with other
information relevant for making a reasonable assessment of future
cash flows, interest rate risk and credit risk. Where practicable
the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities have
been determined and disclosed; otherwise only available information
pertinent to fair value has been disclosed.
The
Company follows ASC subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
("ASC 820-10") and ASC 825-10, which permits entities to choose to
measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair
value.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original
maturity of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.
Long-Lived Assets
Our
long-lived assets include property, plant and equipment and other
indefinite lived intangible assets. We evaluate our long-lived
assets for impairment, other than indefinite lived intangible
assets, in accordance with ASC 360, whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may
not be recoverable. Estimates of future cash flows and timing of
events for evaluating long-lived assets for impairment are based
upon management’s judgment. If any of our intangible or
long-lived assets are considered to be impaired, the amount of
impairment to be recognized is the excess of the carrying amount of
the assets over its fair value.
Applicable
long-lived assets are amortized or depreciated over the shorter of
their estimated useful lives, the estimated period that the assets
will generate revenue, or the statutory or contractual term in the
case of patents. Estimates of useful lives and periods of expected
revenue generation are reviewed periodically for appropriateness
and are based upon management’s judgment.
Impairment of Goodwill
The
Company evaluates indefinite lived intangible assets for impairment
at least annually and whenever impairment indicators are present in
accordance with ASC 350. When necessary, the Company records an
impairment loss for the amount by which the fair value is less than
the carrying value of these assets. The fair value of intangible
assets other than goodwill is typically determined using the
“relief from royalty method”, specifically the
discounted cash flow method utilizing Level 3 fair value inputs.
Some of the more significant estimates and assumptions inherent in
this approach include: the amount and timing of the projected net
cash flows, which includes the expected impact of competitive,
legal and/or regulatory forces on the projections, as well as the
selection of a long-term growth rate; the discount rate, which
seeks to reflect the various risks inherent in the projected cash
flows; and the tax rate, which seeks to incorporate the geographic
diversity of the projected cash flows.
The
Company performs impairment testing for all other long-lived assets
whenever impairment indicators are present. When necessary, the
Company calculates the undiscounted value of the projected cash
flows associated with the asset, or asset group, and compares this
estimated amount to the carrying amount. If the carrying amount is
found to be greater, we record an impairment loss for the excess of
book value over fair value. During the period ended September 30,
2019, the Company determined that the existing goodwill should be
impaired and reported an impairment charge totaling
$1,376,718.
Depreciation and Amortization
Fixed
assets are recorded at cost. Depreciation is generally calculated
on a straight-line method and amortization of leasehold
improvements is provided for on the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the various assets as
follows:
Telco

|

|
Furniture

|
5

|
Maintenance
and repairs are expensed as incurred while renewals and betterments
are capitalized.
Advertising, Marketing and Public Relations
The
Company follows the policy of charging the costs of advertising,
marketing, and public relations to expense as incurred. There were
no advertising expenses for the reporting periods.
Income Taxes
Income
taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future
tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
their respective tax bases and operating loss, capital loss and tax
credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable
income in the years in which those temporary differences are
expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax
assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in
income in the period that includes the enactment date.
For all
periods presented, PTGI was included in the consolidated income tax
returns of its Parent, HC2 Holdings, Inc. (“HC2”). All
losses incurred by PTGI were utilized by PTGI or by HC2 in the
consolidated tax filings. Income tax expense for the periods
presented represent amounts allocable from its then parent.
Permanent tax differences related to the impairment of goodwill are
the primary differences resulting in the variation with the
expected income tax expense.
The
Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those
positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized
income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is
greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition
or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in
judgment occurs. The Company records interest and penalties related
to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of general and
administrative expenses. Our federal tax return and any state tax
returns are not currently under examination.
The
Company has adopted FASB ASC 740-10, Accounting for Income Taxes, which
requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting
and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and
liabilities are computed annually from differences between the
financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities that
will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on
enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the
differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation
allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax
assets to the amount expected to be realized.
Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No.
2016-02, Leases (Topic
842) (“Topic 842”). Topic 842
requires the entity to recognize the assets and liabilities for the
rights and obligations created by leased assets. Leases will be
classified as either finance or operating, with classification
affecting expense recognition in the income
statement.
On
January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Topic 842 applying the
optional transition method, which allows an entity to apply the new
standard at the adoption date with a cumulative effect adjustment
to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of
adoption. As a result of adopting Topic 842, the Company recognized
assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by
operating leases totaling approximately $3,926.
The
Company determines if a contract contains a lease at inception
based on whether it conveys the right to control the use of an
identified asset. Substantially all of the Company’s leases
are classified as operating leases. The Company records operating
lease right-of-use assets within “Other assets” and
lease liabilities are recorded within “current and noncurrent
liabilities” in the consolidated balance sheets. Lease
expenses are recorded within “General and administrative
expenses” in the consolidated statements of operations.
Operating lease payments are presented within “Operating cash
flows” in the consolidated statements of cash
flows.
Operating
lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized
based on the net present value of future minimum lease payments
over the lease term starting on the commencement date. The Company
generally is not able to determine the rate implicit in its leases
and, as such, applies an incremental borrowing rate based on the
Company’s cost of borrowing for the relevant terms of each
lease. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a
straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease terms may include an
option to extend or terminate a lease if it is reasonably certain
that the Company will exercise such options. The Company has
elected the practical expedient to not separate lease components
from non-lease components, and also has elected not to record a
right-of-use asset or lease liability for leases which, at
inception, have a term of twelve months or less. Variable lease
payments are recognized in the period in which the obligation for
those payments is incurred.
NOTE 3 – CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISKS
The
Company's cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and
accounts receivable are monitored for exposure to concentrations of
credit risk. The Company maintains substantially all of its cash
balances in a limited number of financial institutions. The
balances are each insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation up to $250,000. The Company had balances in excess of
this limit at September 30, 2020 and 2019 totaling $10,788,565 and
$40,612,864, respectively.
NOTE 4 – GOING CONCERN
PTGI's
consolidated financial statements are prepared using the GAAP
applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization
of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of
business. At
September 30, 2020,
PTGI had $11,288,565 in cash and $1,236,597 in working capital,
respectively. Losses may adversely affect the liquidity
of PTGI in the future. During 2020, PTGI received a total of
$10,500,000 in capital contributions from HC2. Had these
contributions not been received, PTGI would have had negative
working capital and stockholder’s equity at September
30,2020. The consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of
recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities
that might be necessary should PTGI be unable to continue as a
going concern.
NOTE 5 – PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property,
plant and equipment consisted of the following at September 30,
2020 and 2019:

NOTE 6 – ACCRUED LIABILITIES
In the
normal course of business PTGI incurs costs that can be billed by
the suppler in a subsequent period. To ensure proper presentation
the unbilled costs are accrued at each month end. As invoices are
received the accrued payable is relieved and the correct payable
reflected in the accounts payable account. During 2020, PTGI
renegotiated several contracts with vendors. As a result, the
Company entered settlements that resulted in a $2 million reduction
in the amounts due. This is included in the income statement in
other income.
NOTE 7 – ACQUISITION OF G02TEL.COM
In
November 2018, PTGI entered into a purchase agreement to acquire
the stock of GO2Tel.com and its subsidiary. Pursuant to the
agreement, PTGI paid $200,000 and is required to pay 20% of the
gross margin for the following 24 months (Earnout Provision) in
exchange for all the outstanding shares of GO2Tel.com common stock.
Payment of the earnout provision is made quarterly but no less than
$30,000. The company reported the original purchase price based on
20% of the estimated gross margin for the following 24 months plus
the initial cash payment. Remeasurement of the expected payout at
period end resulted in a gain adjustment to the Contingent
Consideration due of $30,514. The original amount of these earnout
provision was $797,580. As of September 30, 2020, $109,164 remains
on the earnout provision.
NOTE 8 – RELATED PARTY PAYABLE
PTGI
uses shares facilities and corporate services provided by HC2. The
facilities include shared IT platforms. Corporate services include
IT and tax-related support. For use of the HC2 provided services,
cost allocations are transferred and paid monthly.
NOTE 9 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
During
the normal course of business, the Company may be exposed to
litigation. When the Company becomes aware of potential litigation,
it evaluates the merits of the case in accordance with FASB ASC
450-20-50, Contingencies.
The Company evaluates its exposure to the matter, possible legal or
settlement strategies and the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome.
If the Company determines that an unfavorable outcome is probable
and can be reasonably estimated, it establishes the necessary
accruals. As of December 31, 2019, and 2018, the Company is not
aware of any contingent liabilities that should be reflected in the
consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 10 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
PTGI Stock Purchase Agreement
On
October 2, 2020, the Shareholder of the Company, ICS Group
Holdings, Inc., entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with
TransWorld Holdings, Inc (TRW). pursuant to which TRW agreed to
acquire 100% of the outstanding voting securities of PTGI in
consideration for $1,000,000 (the “PTGI Acquisition”).
The closing of the PTGI Acquisition occurred on October 31,
2020.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC
ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the
Board of Directors and Stockholder’s of
PTGI
International Carrier Services, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have
audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of PTGI
International Carrier Services, Inc. and subsidiaries (the
"Company") as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholder’s deficit,
comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows for each of the years in
the two-year period ended December 31, 2019, and the related notes
(collectively referred to as the “financial
statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial
statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31,
2019 and 2018 and the results of their operations and their cash
flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December
31, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
Basis of Opinion
These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our
audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)
(“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with
respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal
securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated
financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due
to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we
engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial
reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an
understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not
for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of
the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our
audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of
material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to
error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those
risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis,
evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial
statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
Going Concern
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared
assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed
in Note 4 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred
significant recurring losses. The realization of a major portion of
its assets is dependent upon its ability to meet its future
financing needs and the success of its future operations. These
factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability
to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from this
uncertainty.

& Giannattasio, LLP
We have
served as the Company’s auditor since 2020.

PTGI INTERNATIONAL CARRIER SERVICES INC AND
SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS
PTGI INTERNATIONAL CARRIER SERVICES INC (PTGI) was
incorporated on December 13, 2007 as Arbinet Carrier Services, Inc.
under the laws of the State of Delaware. On February 25, 2013, the
Company’s name was changed to PTGI International Carrier
Services, Inc. PTGI is a global wholesale telecommunications
provider offering a network of direct routes and provides premium
voice communication services for national telecommunications
operators, mobile operators, wholesale carriers, prepaid operators,
voice over internet protocol service operators and internet service
providers. PTGI provides a quality service via direct routes and by
forming strong relationships with carefully selected
partners.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFCANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America (“GAAP”).
Principles of Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PTGI
International Carrier Services, Inc. and its wholly owned
subsidiaries Go2Tel.com, Inc., a company organized under the laws
of the State of Florida, GU2TEL Spain, SLU, a Spanish entity, PTGI
International Carrier Services, Ltd, a United Kingdom entity and
PTGI-ICS OPSRO S.R.L, a Romanian entity, collectively referred to
as the Company. All material intercompany accounts, transactions
and profits were eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these
estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards
Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from contracts with
customers,” (Topic 606). Revenue is recognized when a
customer obtains control of promised goods or services. In
addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount,
timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from
contracts with customers. The amount of revenue that is recorded
reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in
exchange for those services. The Company applies the following
five-step model in order to determine this amount: (i)
identification of the promised services in the contract; (ii)
determination of whether the promised services are performance
obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of
the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including
the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the
transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v)
recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each
performance obligation. The Company’s main revenue stream is
from the provision of telecommunications services. The Company
recognizes as revenues the amount of the transaction price that is
allocated to the respective performance obligation when the
performance obligation is satisfied or as it is satisfied.
Generally, the Company's performance obligations are transferred to
customers at a point in time, typically upon delivery.
Accounts Receivable
Trade
accounts receivable are recorded at the net invoice value and are
not interest bearing. The Company considers receivables past due
based on the payment terms. The Company reviews its exposure to
accounts receivable and reserves specific amounts if collectability
is no longer reasonably assured. The Company also reserves a
percentage of its trade receivable balance based on collection
history and current economic trends that might impact the level of
future credit losses. The Company re-evaluates such reserves on a
regular basis and adjusts its reserves as needed. The Company also
has credit insurance on certain of its receivables to lessen the
risk of uncollectible accounts. Based on the Company’s
operating history and customer base, bad debts to date have not
been material.
Fair Value Measurements and Fair Value of Financial
Instruments
Accounting
Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, clarifies the
definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair
value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the
inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level
1: Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for
identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement
date.
Level
2: Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and
liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or
similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active,
inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs
derived from or corroborated by observable market
data.
Level
3: Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting
entity's own assumptions on what assumptions the market
participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on
the best available information.
The
estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including
all current liabilities are carried at historical cost basis, which
approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of
these instruments.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC
subtopic 825-10, Financial
Instruments ("ASC 825-10") requires disclosure of the fair
value of certain financial instruments. The carrying value of cash
and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and
accrued liabilities as reflected in the balance sheets, approximate
fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.
All other significant financial assets, financial liabilities and
equity instruments of the Company are either recognized or
disclosed in the financial statements together with other
information relevant for making a reasonable assessment of future
cash flows, interest rate risk and credit risk. Where practicable
the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities have
been determined and disclosed; otherwise only available information
pertinent to fair value has been disclosed.
The
Company follows ASC subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
("ASC 820-10") and ASC 825-10, which permits entities to choose to
measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair
value.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original
maturity of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.
Long-Lived Assets
Our
long-lived assets include property, plant and equipment and other
indefinite lived intangible assets. We evaluate our long-lived
assets for impairment, other than indefinite lived intangible
assets, in accordance with ASC 360, whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may
not be recoverable. Estimates of future cash flows and timing of
events for evaluating long-lived assets for impairment are based
upon management’s judgment. If any of our intangible or
long-lived assets are considered to be impaired, the amount of
impairment to be recognized is the excess of the carrying amount of
the assets over its fair value.
Applicable
long-lived assets are amortized or depreciated over the shorter of
their estimated useful lives, the estimated period that the assets
will generate revenue, or the statutory or contractual term in the
case of patents. Estimates of useful lives and periods of expected
revenue generation are reviewed periodically for appropriateness
and are based upon management’s judgment.
Impairment of Goodwill
The
Company evaluates indefinite lived intangible assets for impairment
at least annually and whenever impairment indicators are present in
accordance with ASC 350. When necessary, the Company records an
impairment loss for the amount by which the fair value is less than
the carrying value of these assets. The fair value of intangible
assets other than goodwill is typically determined using the
“relief from royalty method”, specifically the
discounted cash flow method utilizing Level 3 fair value inputs.
Some of the more significant estimates and assumptions inherent in
this approach include: the amount and timing of the projected net
cash flows, which includes the expected impact of competitive,
legal and/or regulatory forces on the projections, as well as the
selection of a long-term growth rate; the discount rate, which
seeks to reflect the various risks inherent in the projected cash
flows; and the tax rate, which seeks to incorporate the geographic
diversity of the projected cash flows.
The
Company performs impairment testing for all other long-lived assets
whenever impairment indicators are present. When necessary, the
Company calculates the undiscounted value of the projected cash
flows associated with the asset, or asset group, and compares this
estimated amount to the carrying amount. If the carrying amount is
found to be greater, we record an impairment loss for the excess of
book value over fair value. During the year ended December 31,
2019, the Company determined that the existing goodwill should be
entirely impaired and reported an impairment charge totaling
$4,463,720.
Depreciation and Amortization
Fixed
assets are recorded at cost. Depreciation is generally calculated
on a straight-line method and amortization of leasehold
improvements is provided for on the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the various assets as
follows:
Telco
equipment
|

years
|
Computer
hardware
|
3
years
|
Computer
software
|
3
years
|
Furniture
and fixtures
|
5
years
|
Maintenance
and repairs are expensed as incurred while renewals and betterments
are capitalized.
Advertising, Marketing and Public Relations
The
Company follows the policy of charging the costs of advertising,
marketing, and public relations to expense as incurred. There were
no advertising expenses for the years ended December 31, 2019 and
2018, respectively.
Income Taxes
Income
taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future
tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
their respective tax bases and operating loss, capital loss and tax
credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable
income in the years in which those temporary differences are
expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax
assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in
income in the period that includes the enactment date.
For all
periods presented, PTGI was included in the consolidated income tax
returns of its Parent, HC2 Holdings, Inc. (“HC2”). All
losses incurred by PTGI were utilized by PTGI or by HC2 in the
consolidated tax filings. As of December 31, 2019, PTGI does not
have any unused net operating losses or other credits available for
use against future earnings.
The
Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those
positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized
income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is
greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition
or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in
judgment occurs. The Company records interest and penalties related
to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of general and
administrative expenses. Our federal tax return and any state tax
returns are not currently under examination.
The
Company has adopted FASB ASC 740-10, Accounting for Income Taxes, which
requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting
and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and
liabilities are computed annually from differences between the
financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities that
will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on
enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the
differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation
allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax
assets to the amount expected to be realized.
Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No.
2016-02, Leases (Topic
842) (“Topic 842”). Topic 842
requires the entity to recognize the assets and liabilities for the
rights and obligations created by leased assets. Leases will be
classified as either finance or operating, with classification
affecting expense recognition in the income
statement.
On
January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Topic 842 applying the
optional transition method, which allows an entity to apply the new
standard at the adoption date with a cumulative effect adjustment
to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of
adoption. As a result of adopting Topic 842, the Company recognized
assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by
operating leases totaling approximately $3,926.
The
Company determines if a contract contains a lease at inception
based on whether it conveys the right to control the use of an
identified asset. Substantially all of the Company’s leases
are classified as operating leases. The Company records operating
lease right-of-use assets within “Other assets” and
lease liabilities are recorded within “current and noncurrent
liabilities” in the consolidated balance sheets. Lease
expenses are recorded within “General and administrative
expenses” in the consolidated statements of operations.
Operating lease payments are presented within “Operating cash
flows” in the consolidated statements of cash
flows.
Operating
lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized
based on the net present value of future minimum lease payments
over the lease term starting on the commencement date. The Company
generally is not able to determine the rate implicit in its leases
and, as such, applies an incremental borrowing rate based on the
Company’s cost of borrowing for the relevant terms of each
lease. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a
straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease terms may include an
option to extend or terminate a lease if it is reasonably certain
that the Company will exercise such options. The Company has
elected the practical expedient to not separate lease components
from non-lease components, and also has elected not to record a
right-of-use asset or lease liability for leases which, at
inception, have a term of twelve months or less. Variable lease
payments are recognized in the period in which the obligation for
those payments is incurred.
NOTE 3 – CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISKS
The
Company's cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and
accounts receivable are monitored for exposure to concentrations of
credit risk. The Company maintains substantially all of its cash
balances in a limited number of financial institutions. The
balances are each insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation up to $250,000. The Company had balances in excess of
this limit at December 31, 2019 and 2018 totaling $34,061,119 and
$14,620,689, respectively.
NOTE 4 – GOING CONCERN
PTGI's
consolidated financial statements are prepared using the GAAP
applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization
of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of
business. At
December 31, 2019
and December 31, 2018,
PTGI had $34,561,119 and $15,024,031 in cash and
($6,038,039) and
($7,417,538) in working capital, respectively. Losses
may adversely affect the liquidity of PTGI in the future. In view
of the matters described, recoverability of a major portion of the
recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets is dependent upon continued operations, which in
turn is dependent upon PTGI's ability to obtain financing from its
parent, HC2 and to succeed in its future operations and to execute
on planned expansion acquisitions. The consolidated financial
statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or
amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary
should PTGI be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 5 – PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property,
plant and equipment consisted of the following at December 31, 2019
and 2018:

|
Depreciation
expense was $342,215 and $347,608 for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
NOTE 6 – ACCRUED LIABILITIES
In the
normal course of business PTGI incurs costs that can be billed by
the suppler in a subsequent period. To ensure proper presentation
the unbilled costs are accrued at each month end. As invoices are
received the accrued payable is relieved and the correct payable
reflected in the accounts payable account.
NOTE 7 – ACQUISITION OF G02TEL.COM
In
November 2018, PTGI entered into a purchase agreement to acquire
the stock of GO2Tel.com and its subsidiary. Pursuant to the
agreement, PTGI paid $200,000 and is required to pay 20% of the
gross margin for the following 24 months (Earnout Provision) in
exchange for all the outstanding shares of GO2Tel.com common stock.
Payment of the earnout provision is made quarterly but no less than
$30,000. The company reported the original purchase price based on
20% of the estimated gross margin for the following 24 months plus
the initial cash payment. Remeasurement of the expected payout at
year end resulted in a gain adjustment to the Contingent
Consideration due of $377,446. The original amount of these earnout
provision was $797,580. As of December 31, 2019, $261,226 remains
on the earnout provision.
NOTE 8 – RELATED PARTY PAYABLE
PTGI
uses shares facilities and corporate services provided by HC2. The
facilities include shared IT platforms. Corporate services include
IT and tax-related support. For use of the HC2 provided services,
cost allocations are transferred and paid monthly.
NOTE 9 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
During
the normal course of business, the Company may be exposed to
litigation. When the Company becomes aware of potential litigation,
it evaluates the merits of the case in accordance with FASB ASC
450-20-50, Contingencies.
The Company evaluates its exposure to the matter, possible legal or
settlement strategies and the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome.
If the Company determines that an unfavorable outcome is probable
and can be reasonably estimated, it establishes the necessary
accruals. As of December 31, 2019, and 2018, the Company is not
aware of any contingent liabilities that should be reflected in the
consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 10 – EQUITY ADJUSTMENT
During
2018, the then parent of the Company took advances made to the
Company totaling $190,393,412 and contributed them as additional
capital contributions in the Company.
NOTE 11 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
PTGI Stock Purchase Agreement
On
October 2, 2020, the Shareholder of the Company, ICS Group
Holdings, Inc., entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with
TransWorld Holdings, Inc (TRW). pursuant to which TRW agreed to
acquire 100% of the outstanding voting securities of PTGI in
consideration for $892,000 (the “PTGI Acquisition”).
The closing of the PTGI Acquisition occurred on October 31,
2020.
PTGI International Services, Ltd transfer

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT’S REVIEW REPORT
To the
Board of Director(s) of
GetCharged,
Inc.
New
York, New York
We have
reviewed the accompanying financial statements of Get Charged Inc.,
which comprise the balance sheets as of September 30, 2020, and the
related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’
equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related
notes to the financial statements. A review includes primarily
applying analytical procedures to management’s financial data
and making inquiries of company management. A review is
substantially less in scope than an audit, the objective of which
is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements
as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an
opinion.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial
Statements
Management
is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these
financial statements in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes
the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control
relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error.
Accountant’s Responsibility
Our
responsibility is to conduct the review engagement in accordance
with Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services
promulgated by the Accounting and Review Services Committee of the
AICPA. Those standards require us to perform procedures to obtain
limited assurance as a basis for reporting whether we are aware of
any material modifications that should be made to the financial
statements for them to be in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. We believe that
the results of our procedures provide a reasonable basis for our
conclusion.
Accountant’s Conclusion
Based
on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the accompanying financial statements in order
for them to be in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2020
NOTE 1: DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS ACTIVITIES
GetCharged
Inc., a Delaware corporation established in November, 2018, is
engaged to build a worldwide network of electric charging, storage,
and service stations for e-scooters and e-bikes, while protecting
the integrity, access, and safety of sidewalks for all pedestrians.
The company are creating the electric fueling stations of the
future. The company started its operation since January of
2019.
NOTE 2: BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
(“GAAP”), and include the accounts of GetCharged, Inc.
The basis used for the preparation and presentation of the
financial statements is based on the needs of the financial
statement users. Financial presentation under the accrual method
(basis of presentation under accounting principle generally
accepted in the United States) provides the best approach to
present the financial statements with the appropriate revenues
since accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful debts, can
be recorded against appropriate expenses which are incurred in the
same period to generate those revenues.
NOTE 3: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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.
Revenue Recognition
It is
the Company’s policy that revenues from sale of service are
recognized in accordance with ASC 605, “Revenue
Recognition.” Four basic criteria must be met before revenue
can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement
exists; (2) services have been rendered; (3) the selling price is
fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably
assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) is based on
management’s judgments regarding fixed nature in selling
prices of the services rendered and the collectability of those
amounts.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash
and cash equivalents consist of cash in hand/bank and highly liquid
investments that are readily convertible into cash. The Company
considers securities when purchased with maturities of three months
or less to be cash equivalents. The carrying amount of these
securities approximate fair market value because of the short-term
maturity of these instruments.
Fair Values Measurements
The
Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured
at fair value on a recurring basis have been categorized based upon
a fair value hierarchy. Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices in
active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs
are based on other observable market data, such as quoted prices
for similar assets and liabilities, and inputs other than quoted
prices that are observable, such as interest rates and yield
curves. Level 3 inputs are developed from unobservable data
reflecting our own assumptions, and include situations where there
is little or no market activity for the asset or
liability.
Certain
non-financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on
a nonrecurring basis, including property, plant, and equipment,
goodwill and intangible assets. These assets are not measured at
fair value on a recurring basis; however, they are subject to fair
value adjustments in certain circumstances, such as when there is
evidence of an impairment. A general description of the valuation
methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair
value, including the general classification of such assets and
liabilities pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is included in
each footnote with fair value measurements presented.
The
Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash
and cash equivalents, short-term marketable securities, accounts
receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable, notes payable and
long-term debt. The recorded values of cash and cash equivalents,
accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable approximate
their fair values based upon their short-term nature. The recorded
values of notes payable and long-term debt approximate their fair
values, as interest approximates market rates.
The
fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be
received in an asset sale or paid to transfer a liability in an
orderly transaction between unaffiliated market participants.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are categorized based
on whether the inputs are observable in the market and the degree
that the inputs are observable. The categorization of financial
instruments within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest
level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The hierarchy is prioritized into three levels (with Level 3 being
the lowest) defined as follows:
Level
1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities that the entity has the ability to access.
Level
2: Observable inputs other than prices included in Level 1, such as
quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets;
quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in
markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or
can be corroborated with observable market data.
Level
3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market
activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets
and liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted
cash flow methodologies, and similar techniques that use
significant unobservable inputs.
The
fair value of the Company’s, short-term marketable
securities, were determined based on “Level 1” inputs.
The Company does not have any financial instruments in the
“Level 2” and “Level 3” category. The
Company believes that the recorded values of all the other
financial instruments approximate their current fair values because
of their nature and relatively short maturity dates or
durations.
There
have been no changes in Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 and no
changes in valuation techniques for these assets or liabilities for
the periods ended December 31, 2019.
FASB
ASC 825-10 requires disclosure of fair value information about
financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the statement
of financial condition. In cases where quoted market prices are not
available, fair values are based on estimates using present value
or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly
affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and
estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair
value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to
independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in
immediate settlement of the instruments. FASB ASC 825-10 excludes
certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from
its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value
amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the
Company.
The
following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in
estimating its fair value disclosures for financial
instruments:
Cash
and cash equivalents - The carrying amounts reported in the
statements of financial condition for cash and cash equivalents
approximate those assets’ fair values. Investment securities
which consist of marketable securities - Fair values for investment
securities are based on quoted market prices, where
available.
Property, Equipment and Depreciation
Property
and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
related assets. The Company has a policy of capitalizing purchases
over $5,000. Expenditures for routine maintenance and repairs on
property and equipment are charged to expense.
The
Company reviews long lived assets for impairment when circumstances
indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable
based upon the undiscounted future cash flows of the asset. If the
carrying value of the asset is determined not to be recoverable, a
write down to fair value is recorded. Fair values are determined
based on quoted market values, discounted cash flows or external
appraisals as appropriate. We review long lived assets for
impairment at the individual asset or asset group level for which
the lowest level of independent cash flows can be
identified.
Depreciation
is provided for financial reporting purposes utilizing both the
accelerated and straight-line methods over the estimated useful
lives of the assets, which are as follows;
Machinery
and Equipment
|
3-5
years
|
Furniture
and Fixtures
|

years
|
Software
|

Other Assets
Other
assets comprises of overpayment to the financial institutions and
security deposits for rental properties.
Income Taxes
Income
Taxes Income taxes are accounted for on an asset and liability
approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and
liabilities for the expected future tax consequence of events that
have been recognized in the consolidated financial statements or
tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, the Company
generally considers all expected future events other than proposed
changes in the tax law or rates. Valuation allowances are provided
if it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be
realized.
The
Company recognizes liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on
a two-step process. The first step is to evaluate the tax position
for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence
indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be
sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or
litigation processes, if any. Once it is determined that the
position meets the recognition threshold, the second step requires
an estimate and measure the largest amount of tax benefit that is
more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement. The
difference between the amount of recognizable tax benefit and the
total amount of tax benefit from positions filed or to be filed
with the tax authorities is recorded as a liability for uncertain
tax benefits. It is inherently difficult and subjective to estimate
such amounts due to the probability of various possible outcomes.
The Company reevaluates uncertain tax positions on a quarterly
basis. This evaluation is based on factors including, but not
limited to, changes in facts or circumstances, changes in tax law,
effectively settled issues under audit and new audit activity. Such
a change in recognition or measurement could result in the
recognition of a tax benefit or an additional charge to the tax
provision.
A
valuation allowance was taken by the Company as it believes there
is no sufficient positive evidence to support its conclusion not to
record a valuation allowance. Management believes that there can be
no assurance that the Company will generate taxable income or that
all of its timing differences between tax and financial reporting
will be utilized.
Tax
Cuts and Job Act. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was enacted in December
2018. Among other things, the new law (I) establishes a new, flat
corporate federal statutory income tax rate of 21%, (ii) eliminates
the corporate alternative minimum tax and allows the use of such
carryforwards to offset regular tax liability for any taxable year,
(iii) limits the deduction for net interest expense incurred by
U.S. corporations, (iv) allows businesses to immediately expense,
for tax purposes, the cost of new investments in certain qualified
depreciable assets, (v) eliminates or reduces certain deductions
related to meals and entertainment expenses, (vi) modifies the
limitation on excessive employee remuneration to eliminate the
exception for performance-based compensation and clarifies the
definition of a covered employee and (vii) limits the deductibility
of deposit insurance premiums. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act also
significantly changes the US tax law related to foreign operations,
however, such changes do not currently impact the
Company.
Advertising
The
Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred. Advertising
expense for the years ended September 30, 2020 was
$5,000.
NOTE 4: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In
accordance with ASC 855, the Company evaluated subsequent events
through January 11, 2021, the date these financial statements were
issued.
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the
Board of Director(s) of
GetCharged,
Inc.
New
York, New York
Report on Financial Statements
We have
audited the accompanying financial statements of GetCharged, Inc.,
which comprise the balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 and the
related statement of income, change in stockholders’ equity,
and cash flow for the year then ended, and the related notes to the
financial statements.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial
Statements
Management
is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these
financial statements in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United State of America; this includes
the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control
relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in
accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material
misstatement.
An
audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The
procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment,
including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of
the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making
those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control
relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the
financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal
control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also
includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used
and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the
financial statements.
We
believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our
opinion, the 2018 financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
GetCharged, Inc. as of December 31, 2019, and the results of its
operations and cash flow for the year then ended, in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America.
Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as
a Going Concern
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that
the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note
11 to the financial statements, the Company has sustained
significant net loss for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Management’s evaluation of the events and conditions and
management’s plans regarding the matter also are described in
Note 11. The financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion
is not modified with respect to that matter.

AUDITED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2019
NOTE 1: DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS ACTIVITIES
GetCharged
Inc., a Delaware corporation established in November, 2018, is
engaged to build a worldwide network of electric charging, storage,
and service stations for e-scooters and e-bikes, while protecting
the integrity, access, and safety of sidewalks for all pedestrians.
The company are creating the electric fueling stations of the
future. The company started its operation since January of
2019.
NOTE 2: BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
(“GAAP”), and include the accounts of GetCharged, Inc.
The basis used for the preparation and presentation of the
financial statements is based on the needs of the financial
statement users. Financial presentation under the accrual method
(basis of presentation under accounting principle generally
accepted in the United States) provides the best approach to
present the financial statements with the appropriate revenues
since accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful debts, can
be recorded against appropriate expenses which are incurred in the
same period to generate those revenues.
NOTE 3: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash
and cash equivalents consist of cash in hand/bank and highly liquid
investments that are readily convertible into cash. The Company
considers securities when purchased with maturities of three months
or less to be cash equivalents. The carrying amount of these
securities approximate fair market value because of the short-term
maturity of these instruments.
Fair Values Measurements
The
Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured
at fair value on a recurring basis have been categorized based upon
a fair value hierarchy. Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices in
active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
GETCHARGED, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2019
Level 2
inputs are based on other observable market data, such as quoted
prices for similar assets and liabilities, and inputs other than
quoted prices that are observable, such as interest rates and yield
curves. Level 3 inputs are developed from unobservable data
reflecting our own assumptions, and include situations where there
is little or no market activity for the asset or
liability.
Certain
non-financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on
a nonrecurring basis, including property, plant, and equipment,
goodwill and intangible assets. These assets are not measured at
fair value on a recurring basis; however, they are subject to fair
value adjustments in certain circumstances, such as when there is
evidence of an impairment. A general description of the valuation
methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair
value, including the general classification of such assets and
liabilities pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is included in
each footnote with fair value measurements presented.
The
Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash
and cash equivalents, short-term marketable securities, accounts
receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable, notes payable and
long-term debt. The recorded values of cash and cash equivalents,
accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable approximate
their fair values based upon their short-term nature. The recorded
values of notes payable and long-term debt approximate their fair
values, as interest approximates market rates.
The
fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be
received in an asset sale or paid to transfer a liability in an
orderly transaction between unaffiliated market participants.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are categorized based
on whether the inputs are observable in the market and the degree
that the inputs are observable. The categorization of financial
instruments within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest
level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The hierarchy is prioritized into three levels (with Level 3 being
the lowest) defined as follows:
Level
1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities that the entity has the ability to access.
Level
2: Observable inputs other than prices included in Level 1, such as
quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets;
quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in
markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or
can be corroborated with observable market data.
Level
3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market
activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets
and liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted
cash flow methodologies, and similar techniques that use
significant unobservable inputs.
The
fair value of the Company’s, short-term marketable
securities, were determined based on “Level 1” inputs.
The Company does not have any financial instruments in the
“Level 2” and “Level 3” category. The
Company believes that the recorded values of all the other
financial instruments approximate their current fair values because
of their nature and relatively short maturity dates or
durations.
There
have been no changes in Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 and no
changes in valuation techniques for these assets or liabilities for
the periods ended December 31, 2019.
FASB
ASC 825-10 requires disclosure of fair value information about
financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the statement
of financial condition. In cases where quoted market prices are not
available, fair values are based on estimates using present value
or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly
affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and
estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair
value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to
independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in
immediate settlement of the instruments. FASB ASC 825-10 excludes
certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from
its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value
amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the
Company.
The
following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in
estimating its fair value disclosures for financial
instruments:
Cash
and cash equivalents - The carrying amounts reported in the
statements of financial condition for cash and cash equivalents
approximate those assets’ fair values. Investment securities
which consist of marketable securities – Fair values for
investment securities are based on quoted market prices, where
available.
Property, Equipment and Depreciation
Property
and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
related assets. The Company has a policy of capitalizing purchases
over $5,000. Expenditures for routine maintenance and repairs on
property and equipment are charged to expense.
The
Company reviews long lived assets for impairment when circumstances
indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable
based upon the undiscounted future cash flows of the asset. If the
carrying value of the asset is determined not to be recoverable, a
write down to fair value is recorded. Fair values are determined
based on quoted market values, discounted cash flows or external
appraisals as appropriate. We review long lived assets for
impairment at the individual asset or asset group level for which
the lowest level of independent cash flows can be
identified.
Depreciation
is provided for financial reporting purposes utilizing both the
accelerated and straight-line methods over the estimated useful
lives of the assets, which are as follows;
Machinery
and Equipment
|
3-5
years
|
Furniture
and Fixtures
|

|

all of its timing differences between tax and financial reporting

2018. Among other things, the new law (I) establishes a new, flat

significantly changes the US tax law related to foreign operations,
however, such changes do not currently impact the
Company.
Advertising
The
Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred. Advertising
expense for the years ended December 31, 2019 was
$5,000.
NOTE 4: STOCK OPTION
Performance Incentive Plan
On May
2019, the shareholders approved the Company's 2019 Performance
Stock Option, (the "Stock Option"). Under the terms of the
Incentive Plan, up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock may be

Committee which is appointed by the Board of Directors. The
Committee determines which key employee, officer or director on the
regular payroll of the Company, or outside consultants shall
receive stock options. Granted options are exercisable after the
date of grant in accordance with the terms of the grant up to five
years after the date of the grant. The exercise price of any

NOTE 7: CREDIT RISK
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations
of credit risk consist of temporary cash investments, which from
time to time exceed the federal depository insurance coverage and
commercial accounts receivable. The Company has cash investment
policies that restrict placement of these investments to financial
institutions evaluated as highly creditworthy. Cash and cash
equivalents held in a bank exceed federally insured limits at year
end and at various points during the year.
NOTE 8: BUSINESS RISK
The
Company's primary business deals with building electric charging
service station. While the Company is unable to predict what
regulatory changes may occur or the impact on the Company of any
particular change, the Company’s operations and financial
results could be negatively affected if the federal or state
regulator relax the laws on the use of fossils fuel.
NOTE 9: CONVERTIBLE NOTE

NOTE 10: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Uncertain Tax Position
The
Company follows the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, which
provides guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes
recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. The
guidance prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement
attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement
of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return,
and also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification,
interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure
and transition. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had no
uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or
disclosure in the Company’s financial statements. The
Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties on
unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense in the financial
statements. No interest and penalties were recorded during the
years ended December 31, 2019.
Litigation
The
Company is involved, from time to time, in disputes and claims
incidental to the conduct of its business. The company reviews any
such legal proceedings and claims on an ongoing basis and follows
appropriate accounting guidance when making accrual and disclosure
decisions. Based upon present information, the company determined
that there was no matters that required an accrual as of December
31, 2019 nor were there any asserted or unasserted material claims
for which material losses are reasonably possible.
NOTE 11: GOING CONCERN
The
Company sustained net operating losses of $(1,963,876) for the
years ended December 31, 2019, indicating an adverse effect in the
Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern.
Managements
plans to address the going concern is to seek out additional
investors, provide additional loans and capital contributions to
the Company from current stockholders, and open service charge
stations to increase gross profit margins. Management launched
service charge stations subsequent to balance sheet date,
please see note
14.
The
ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the
success of these actions as well as continued favorable treatment
as it relates to federal laws and regulations. There can be no
assurance the Company will be successful in accomplishing its
objectives. The financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as
a going concern.
NOTE 12: RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION
During
the year 2019 there has been the following issuance of convertible
notes payables to the related parties.

Further
during the year 2019, the company paid $ 129,945.70 as a
reimbursement of contracting fees to 9 Madison Inc. owned by
related parties. The amount has been charged as an expense to
statement of income under consulting fees. Also during 2019 per the
consulting agreement reached between company and Daniel Waldman in
2018 the company awarded a stock option which will grant him
420,000 shares of company’s common stock with a vesting
period of five years from the date of issuance.
NOTE 13: RECENT ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE
In
December 2019, the FASB issued an accounting standard updates that
eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for
intra-period tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income
taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax
liabilities for outside basis differences. It also clarifies and
simplifies other aspects of the accounting for income taxes. ASU
2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is
currently evaluating the adoption date and impact, if any, adoption
will have on its financial position and results of
operations.
In June
2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2016-13,
Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of
Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASU 2016-13), which
requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses
for financial assets held at amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 replaces
the existing incurred loss impairment model with a forward-looking
expected credit loss model which will result in earlier recognition
of credit losses. The standard will be effective for us in the last
quarter of 2020, but early adoption is permitted. The Company is
currently evaluating this update on its financial position and
results of operations.
NOTE 14: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In
accordance with ASC 855, the Company evaluated subsequent events
through July 27, 2020, the date these financial statements were
issued.
Subsequent
to the year-end, in February 2020 the company launched service
charge station in Los Angles, California and the second one in
Paris, France in July of 2020.
INDEPENDENT
AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the
Board of Director(s) of
GetCharged,
Inc.
New
York, New York
Report on Financial Statements
We have
audited the accompanying financial statements of GetCharged, Inc.,
which comprise the balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 and the
related statement of income, change in stockholders’ equity,
and cash flow for the year then ended, and the related notes to the
financial statements.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial
Statements
Management
is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these
financial statements in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United State of America; this includes
the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control
relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in
accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material
misstatement.
An
audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The
procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment,
including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of
the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making
those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control
relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the
financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal
control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also
includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used
and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the
financial statements.
We
believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our
opinion, the 2018 financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
GetCharged, Inc. as of December 31, 2018, and the results of its
operations and cash flow for the year then ended, in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America.

AUDITED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2018
NOTE 1: DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS ACTIVITIES
GetCharged
Inc., a Delaware corporation established in November, 2018, is
engaged to build a worldwide network of electric charging, storage,
and service stations for e-scooters and e-bikes, while protecting
the integrity, access, and safety of sidewalks for all pedestrians.
The company are creating the electric fueling stations of the
future. The company started its operation since January of
2019.
NOTE 2: BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
(“GAAP”), and include the accounts of GetCharged, Inc.
The basis used for the preparation and presentation of the
financial statements is based on the needs of the financial
statement users. Financial presentation under the accrual method
(basis of presentation under accounting principle generally
accepted in the United States) provides the best approach to
present the financial statements with the appropriate revenues
since accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful debts, can
be recorded against appropriate expenses which are incurred in the
same period to generate those revenues.
NOTE 3: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash
and cash equivalents consist of cash in hand/bank and highly liquid
investments that are readily convertible into cash. The Company
considers securities when purchased with maturities of three months
or less to be cash equivalents. The carrying amount of these
securities approximate fair market value because of the short-term
maturity of these instruments.
NOTE 3:
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In
accordance with ASC 855, the Company evaluated subsequent events
through January 11, 2021, the date these financial statements were
issued.
Since
December 31, 2019, the spread of COVID-19 has severely impacted
many local economies around the globe. In many countries,
businesses are being forced to cease or limit operations for long
or indefinite periods of time. Measures taken to contain the spread
of the virus, including travel bans, quarantines, social
distancing, and closures of non-essential services have triggered
significant disruptions to businesses worldwide, resulting in an
economic slowdown. Global stock markets have also experienced great
volatility and a significant weakening. Governments and central
banks have responded with monetary and fiscal interventions to
stabilize economic conditions.
Subsequent
to the year-end, in February 2020 the company launched service
charge station in Los Angles, California and the second one in
Paris, France in July of 2020.
On
September 25, 2020, GetCharged Inc. (the “Company”)
each of the transferor and Andrew Fox, in his capacity as the
Transferor’s Representative entered into stock acquisition
agreement with Transworld Enterprises Inc.
(“Acquiror”), a wholly owned subsidiary of GoIP Global
, Inc. whereby the transferors shall exchange, transfer and deliver
the shares to Acquiror at the purchase price of $17,500,000, and
the company transfers the shares to the acquirer free and clear of
encumbrances. The shareholder record of GetCharged Inc. shall
receive prorate shares of parents payable in respect of the
purchase price. For avoidance of doubt, the Purchase price shall be
paid in Parent Shares (and not in cash).
On
October 9, 2020 the above mentioned agreement was amendment to
reflect the change in manner of payment to the company. As per
agreement, parent shall issue to each Transferor a stock
certificate evidencing such Transferor’s Pro Rata Share of
the number of Parent Shares equal to the Purchase Price minus the
Holdback Shares (each, a closing Parent Share Certificate”)
and deliver a closing Parent Share Certificate to each Transferor
at or as soon as practicable following the Closing. Further, the
parties agreed that the aggregate number of Parent Shares equal to
the Purchase Price shall be 60,000,000 Parent Shares.
As of
December 31, 2020, the company issued total convertible Notes
Payable worth $5,965,000 with an interest rate of 8% per annum. The
Note shall automatically and without any action on the part of
Holder convey into that number of Class A Voting Common Stock of
the Company.

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
We are
incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 145
of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”)
provides that a Delaware corporation may indemnify any persons who
were, are, or are threatened to be made, parties to any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by
or in the right of such corporation), by reason of the fact that
such person is or was an officer, director, employee or agent of
such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such
corporation as an officer, director, employee or agent of another
corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses
(including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts
paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person
in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided that
such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
corporation’s best interests and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe
that his or her conduct was illegal. A Delaware corporation may
indemnify any persons who were, are, or are threatened to be made,
a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by
or in the right of the corporation by reason of the fact that such
person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such
corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses
(including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred
by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such
action or suit provided such person acted in good faith and in a
manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
corporation’s best interests except that no indemnification
is permitted without judicial approval if the officer or director
is adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where an officer or
director is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of
any action referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him or
her against the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually
and reasonably incurred.
Our
certificate of incorporation provides that to the fullest extent
permitted by the General Corporation Law, a director shall not be
personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages
for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. Our bylaws provide that
we shall indemnify and hold harmless our directors and officers to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, except that we will
not be required to indemnify or hold harmless any director or
officer in connection with any proceeding initiated by such person
unless the proceeding was authorized by our board of directors.
Under our bylaws, such rights shall not be exclusive of any other
rights acquired by directors and officers, including by
agreement.
Our
bylaws provide that we will pay expenses to any director or officer
prior to the final disposition of the proceeding, provided,
however, that such advancements shall be made only upon receipt of
an undertaking by such director or officer to repay all amounts
advanced if it should be ultimately determined that such director
or officer is not entitled to indemnification under the bylaws of
or otherwise.
Section
174 of the DGCL provides, among other things, that a director who
willfully or negligently approves of an unlawful payment of
dividends or an unlawful stock purchase or redemption may be held
liable for such actions. A director who was either absent when the
unlawful actions were approved, or dissented at the time, may avoid
liability by causing his or her dissent to such actions to be
entered in the books containing minutes of the meetings of the
board of directors at the time such action occurred or immediately
after such absent director receives notice of the unlawful
acts.
We
expect to obtain general liability insurance that covers certain
liabilities of our directors and officers arising out of claims
based on acts or omissions in their capacities as directors or
officers, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the
registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been
informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is
therefore unenforceable.
The
above provisions may discourage stockholders from bringing a
lawsuit against our directors for breach of their fiduciary duty.
The provisions may also have the effect of reducing the likelihood
of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even
though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us
and our stockholders. Furthermore, a stockholder’s investment
may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of
settlement and damage awards against directors and officers
pursuant to these indemnification provisions. We believe that these
certificate of incorporation provisions, bylaw provisions,
indemnification agreements and the insurance are necessary to
attract and retain qualified persons as directors and
officers.
At
present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any
of our directors or officers where indemnification will be required
or permitted. We are not aware of any threatened litigation or
proceedings that might result in a claim for such
indemnification.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS
The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
1. To
file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration
statement:
(i)
To
include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act;
(ii)
To
reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of this registration statement ( or most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set
forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the
total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that
which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of
the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form
of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)
(Section 230.424(b) of this chapter) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in
the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
“Calculation of Registration
Fee ” table in the effective registration statement;
and
(iii)
To
include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement
or any material change to such information in the registration
statement.
Provided,
however, that:
2.
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed
to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
3. To
remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons
pursuant to the provisions above, or otherwise, we have been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of
the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the
registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification
by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant
to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant
has duly caused this amendment no. 8 to the
registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in New York, New York, on
November 26, 2021.
