SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and include the accounts of GAHI and GES. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Reclassification

 

The Company reclassified certain amounts in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in the prior year to conform to the current year’s presentation.

 

Noncontrolling Interest

 

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

 

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

 

Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

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

   2025   2024 
Warrants   1,154,583,333    1,014,083,333

Total   2,297,263,179    2,428,453,912 

 

Management Estimates

 

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

 

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

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

 

Convertible Instruments

 

The Company evaluates all terms and conditions of convertible instruments to determine whether they contain embedded features that require bifurcation and separate accounting. If the conversion feature is determined to be a derivative liability, it is recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings during the period of change. Convertible notes are initially recorded at their face value, net of any discounts or issuance costs. Discounts related to embedded conversion features or warrants issued in connection with the notes are recorded as a reduction to the carrying amount of the note and amortized to interest expense over the term of the note using the effective interest method. If the note is convertible into equity at a variable conversion price, the Company assesses whether the conversion feature qualifies for derivative accounting. If so, the embedded derivative is recorded at fair value on the issuance date and subsequently remeasured at each reporting period, with changes in fair value recognized in the statements of operations. Upon conversion of the note into equity securities, the carrying value of the note and any related derivative liabilities are reclassified to equity. If the note is repaid in cash, any unamortized discount is recognized immediately as interest expense.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

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

 

Revenue Recognition

 

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

 

Share-Based Compensation

 

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

 

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

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

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

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

 

  Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
  Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
  Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

The following table presents the Company’s assets and liabilities required to be reflected within the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Income Taxes

 

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

 

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

 

Equity Investments

 

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

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

ASU 2023-07 – Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures: In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The guidance in this update is effective for all public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company has adopted this pronouncement for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2024, which did not result in a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

ASU 2023-09 – Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740):In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires greater disaggregation of income tax disclosures related to the income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid, and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis although retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of this pronouncement on its financial statements and disclosures.

 

ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Subtopic 220-40): In November 2024, the FASB issued disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (ASU 2024-03), which will require tabular disclosure of certain operating expenses disaggregated into categories, such as purchase of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard.

 

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