The OLB Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial
Statements

NOTE 1 – BACKGROUND
Background
The OLB Group, Inc. (“OLB” the “Company”)
was incorporated in the State of Delaware on November 18, 2004 and provides services through its wholly-owned subsidiaries and business
segments. The Company generates its revenue through two business segments its Fintech Services and Bitcoin Mining Business segments.
Fintech Services:
The Company provides integrated financial and

subsidiary (“eVance”), the Company provides an integrated suite of third-party merchant payment processing services and related
proprietary software enabling products that deliver credit and debit card-based internet payment processing solutions primarily to small
and mid-sized merchants operating in physical “brick and mortar” business environments, on the internet and in retail settings
requiring both wired and wireless mobile payment solutions. eVance operates as an independent sales organization (“ISO”) generating
individual merchant processing contracts in exchange for future residual payments. As a wholesale ISO, eVance has a direct contractual
relationship with the merchants and takes greater responsibility in the approval and monitoring of merchants than do retail ISOs and as
a result, receives additional consideration for this service and risk. The Company’s Securus365, Inc. (“Securus365”)
subsidiary operates as a retail ISO and receives residual income as commission for merchants it places with third party processors. The
Company’s eVance Capital, Inc subsidiary provides lending services to merchants processing with eVance, Inc.

OmniSoft, Inc. (“OmniSoft”) operates
a software platform for small merchants. The Omnicommerce applications work on an iPad, mobile device and the web and allow customers
to sell a store’s products in a physical, retail setting. To date, the activities of this subsidiary have been nominal when compared

On May 14, 2021, the Company formed OLBit, Inc.,

to its emerging lending and transactional business leveraging the Company’s Bitcoin Business and Fintech Services business. To date,
the activities of this subsidiary have been nominal.
On June 15, 2023, the Company entered into a Membership

the membership interests of Cuentas SDI, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (the “LLC”). The LLC owns the platform of
Black011.com and the network serving over 31,000 convenience stores (“Bodegas”) in and around New York and New Jersey
(see Note 7).

and consulting services on a project-by-project basis.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S.
GAAP”), and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and reflect
all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which management believes are necessary to fairly present the financial position,
results of operations and cash flows of the Company as of and for the three month period ending March 31, 2024 and not necessarily indicative
of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2024. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2023.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s accounting estimates include the collectability
of receivables, useful lives of long-lived assets and recoverability of those assets, impairment in fair value of goodwill, valuation
allowances for income taxes and stock-based compensation.
Principles of Consolidation

Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the
prior year financial information to conform to the presentation used in the financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2024.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of
the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37 of
the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments.
Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America (U.S. GAAP) and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair
value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to
valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority
to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The
three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below:
Level 1: Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical
assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
Level 2: Pricing inputs other than quoted prices
in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.
Level 3: Pricing inputs that are generally unobservable inputs and
not corroborated by market data.
The carrying amount of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities,
such as cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value because of the
short maturity of those instruments. The Company’s notes payable represents the fair value of such instruments as the notes
bear interest rates that are consistent with current market rates.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially expose
the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. The Company’s cash is deposited with
major financial institutions. At times, such deposits may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurable amount (“FDIC”).
As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had no cash in excess of the FDIC’s $250,000 coverage limit.
Operating Segments
Operating segments are defined as components of
an entity for which discrete financial information is available that is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”),
or decision maker group, in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. Our chief operating
decision–making group is composed of the Chief Executive Officer and Vice President. The Company has two operating segments as of
March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. (see Note 16).
Stock-Based Compensation
We account for equity-based transactions with
employees and non-employees under the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (“Topic
718”), which establishes that equity-based payments to employees and non-employees are recorded at the grant date the fair
value of the equity instruments the entity is obligated to issue when the employees and non-employees have rendered the requisite service
and satisfied any other conditions necessary to earn the right to benefit from the instruments. Topic 718 also states that observable
market prices of identical or similar equity or liability instruments in active markets are the best evidence of fair value and, if available,
should be used as the basis for the measurement for equity and liability instruments awarded in these share-based payment transactions.
However, if observable market prices of identical or similar equity or liability instruments are not available, the fair value shall be
estimated by using a valuation technique or model that complies with the measurement objective, as described in Topic 718.
Net Loss per Share
Basic net loss per share of common stock is computed
by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common
share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and dilutive potentially outstanding shares
of common stock during the period. The weighted average number of common shares for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 does
not include warrants to acquire 856,313 shares of common stock because of their anti-dilutive effect. The weighted average number of common
shares for three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, does not include 20,000 and 113,594 options, respectively, to purchase common stock
because of their anti-dilutive effect.
Investments in Equity Securities
The Company accounts for its investments under
ASC 321, “Investments – Equity Securities,” which requires that investments in equity securities be measured at fair
value with changes in value recorded as unrealized gains and losses in current period operations.
Bitcoin
The Company obtains bitcoin through our mining
activities, which is accounted for in connection with our revenue recognition policy. The bitcoin held is recorded as other assets in
the Consolidated Balance Sheets and is accounted for as indefinite-lived intangible assets initially measured at cost, in accordance with
ASC 350 – “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other” (“ASC 350”). The use of bitcoin is accounted for in accordance
with the first in first out method of accounting. We do not amortize our bitcoin but assess the value for impairment as further discussed
in our impairment policy.
At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the carrying
value of the Company’s bitcoin was $55,676 and $312,103, respectively. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had 0.13 bitcoin on hand
which had a fair value of $9,088 based on the price of bitcoin of approximately $69,908. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and
2023, we recorded a realized gain (loss) on our bitcoin transactions of $225,229 and $(327,925), respectively.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost and depreciated
using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Depreciation is calculated once the asset has been received
and is ready for its intended use, using half of the monthly depreciation in the first month and half of the monthly depreciation in the
last month. Cost and accumulated depreciation applicable to items replaced or retired are eliminated from the related accounts with any
gain or loss on the disposition included in the statement of operations. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
The Company capitalizes all capital assets utilizing
the following criteria:
|
● |
All land acquisitions;. |
|
● |
All buildings/facilities acquisitions and new construction; |
| ● | Facility renovation and improvement projects costing more than $100,000; |
| ● | Land improvement and infrastructure projects costing more than $100,000, |
| ● | Equipment costing more than $3,000 with a useful life beyond a single reporting period (generally one year); |
| ● | Computer equipment costing more than $5,000; and |
| ● | Construction in Progress (CIP) for capital projects with a budget in excess of $100,000 |
The estimated useful lives for all the Company’s
property and equipment are as follows:
Item |
|
Useful Life |
Computer equipment |
|
3 years |
Software |
|
10 years |
Office furniture |
|
5 Years |
Buildings and improvements |
|
30 years |
Intangible Assets
The Company accounts for its intangible assets
in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic
350-30, General Intangibles Other Than Goodwill. ASC Subtopic 350-30, which requires assets to be measured based on the fair value
of the consideration given or the fair value of the assets (or net assets) acquired, whichever is more clearly evident and, thus, more
reliably measurable. Under ASC Subtopic 350-30 any intangible asset with a useful life is required to be amortized over that life and
the useful life is to be evaluated every reporting period to determine whether events or circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining
period of amortization. If the estimate of useful life is changed the remaining carrying amount of the intangible asset is amortized prospectively
over the revised remaining useful life. Costs to renew or extend the term of an intangible assets are recognized as an expense when incurred.
Included in intangible assets are merchant portfolios
that are valued at fair value of merchant customers on the date of acquisition and are amortized over their estimated useful lives (7
years). See Note 4.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with ASC 360-10 the Company periodically
reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets held and used at least annually or when events and circumstances warrant such a review.
If significant events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable,
the Company performs a test of recoverability by comparing the carrying value of the asset or asset group to its undiscounted expected
future cash flows. Cash flow projections are sometimes based on a group of assets, rather than a single asset. If cash flows cannot be
separately and independently identified for a single asset, the Company determines whether impairment has occurred for the group of assets
for which it can identify the projected cash flows. If the carrying values are in excess of undiscounted expected future cash flows,
it measures any impairment by comparing the fair value of the asset group to its carrying value. If the fair value of an asset or asset
group is determined to be less than the carrying amount of the asset or asset group, impairment in the amount of the difference is recorded.
The Company recorded no impairment expense for the three months ended
March 31, 2024 and 2023.
Goodwill
The Company accounts for business combinations
under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations,
where the total purchase price is allocated to the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on
their estimated fair values. The purchase price is allocated using the information currently available, and may be adjusted, up to one
year from acquisition date, after obtaining more information regarding, among other things, asset valuations, liabilities assumed and
revisions to preliminary estimates. The purchase price in excess of the fair value of the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired
less liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill.
The Company tests for indefinite-lived intangibles
and goodwill impairment in the fourth quarter of each year and whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the
asset exceeds its fair value and may not be recoverable. In accordance with ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic
350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, the Company performed a quantitative assessment of indefinite-lived intangibles
and goodwill and determined there was no impairment at December 31, 2023.
A summary of goodwill as of March 31, 2024, is
as follows:
Acquisition of assets from Excel Corporation and its subsidiaries on April 9, 2018 | |
$ | 6,858,216 | |
Acquisition of 80.01% interest of Cuentas SDI, LLC on June 15, 2023 (see Note 7) | |
| 1,281,673 | |
Goodwill balance as of March 31, 2024 | |
$ | 8,139,889 | |
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable represent contractual residual
payments due from the Company’s processing partners or other customers. Residual payments are determined based on transaction fees
and revenues from the credit and debit card processing activity of merchants for which the Company’s processing partners pay the
Company. Based on collection experience and periodic reviews of outstanding receivables, we have recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts
of $207,850 and $207,850 as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Reserve for Chargeback Losses
Disputes between a cardholder and a merchant periodically
arise as a result of, among other things, cardholder dissatisfaction with merchandise quality or merchant services. Such disputes may
not be resolved in the merchant’s favor. In these cases, the transaction is “charged back” to the merchant, which means
the purchase price is refunded to the customer through the merchant’s bank and charged to the merchant. If the merchant has inadequate
funds, the Company must bear the credit risk for the full amount of the transaction. The Company evaluates the risk for such transactions
and estimates the potential loss for chargebacks based primarily on historical experience and records a loss reserve accordingly. During
the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 chargebacks have reduced recorded revenue amounts and no reserve for loss has been recorded
as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

| — | |
Total revenue from contracts with customers | |
$ | 3,496,182 | | |
$ | 6,622,589 | |
The Company recognizes revenue under ASC 606,
“Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”). The Company determines revenue recognition through the following
steps:
|
● |
Identification of a contract with a customer; |
|
● |
Identification of the performance obligations in the contract; |
|
|
|
|
● |
Determination of the transaction price; |
|
|
|
|
● |
Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and |
|
|
|
|
● |
Recognition of revenue when or as the performance obligations are satisfied. |
Revenue is recognized when control of the promised
goods or services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange
for those goods or services. Shipping and handling activities associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred
to a customer are accounted for as a fulfillment activity and recognized as revenue at the point in time at which control of the goods
transfers to the customer. As a practical expedient, the Company does not adjust the transaction price for the effects of a significant
financing component if, at contract inception, the period between customer payment and the transfer of goods or services is expected to
be one year or less.
Transaction and processing fees
Fees for the Company’s transaction and processing
arrangements are typically billed and paid on a monthly basis. The Company receives a percentage of recurring monthly transaction related
fees comprised of credit and debit card fees charged to merchants, net of association fees, otherwise known as Interchange, as well as
certain service charges and convenience fees, for payment processing services, including authorization, capture, clearing, settlement
and information reporting of electronic transactions. Fees are calculated on either a percentage of the dollar, volume of the transaction
or a fixed fee or a hybrid of the two and are recognized at the time of the transaction. These merchant services represent a single performance
obligation satisfied over time and that the same measure of progress should be used to measure the Company’s progress toward complete
satisfaction of the performance obligation. The Company will recognize revenue on a monthly basis as the services are transferred to the
customer in short daily increments that qualify for series guidance as the best measure of the transfer of control.
In wholesale contracts, the Company recognizes
transaction and processing fees on a gross basis as the Company is the principal in the merchant services. The Company has concluded it
is the principal because it has a direct contractual relationship with the merchant, is primarily responsible for the delivery of services
to the merchants, including performing underwriting, has discretion in setting prices, and bears risk of chargebacks and other merchant
losses. The Company also has the unilateral ability to accept or reject a transaction based on criteria established by the Company. As
the principal, the Company records the full discount charged to the merchant as revenue and the related interchange and other processing
fees within cost of revenues.
In retail contracts, the Company is not responsible
for merchant underwriting, has no chargeback liability and has no or limited contractual relationship with the merchant. As such, the
Company records the net amount it receives from the processor, after interchange and other interchange and other processing fees, as revenue.
Merchant equipment rental and sales
The Company generates revenue through the sale
and rental of merchant equipment. The Company satisfies its performance obligation upon delivery of equipment to merchants and recognizes
revenue at a point in time. The Company allows for customer returns which are accounted for as variable consideration. The Company estimates
these amounts based on historical experience and reduces revenue recognized. The Company invoices customers upon delivery of the equipment
to merchants, and payments from such customers are due upon invoicing. The Company offers hardware installment sales to customers with
terms ranging from three to forty-eight months. The Company allocates a portion of the consideration received from these arrangements
to a financing component when it determines that a significant financing component exists. The financing component is subsequently recognized
as financing revenue separate from hardware revenue, within subscription and services-based revenue, over the terms of the arrangement
with the customer. Pursuant to practical expedients afforded under ASC 606, the Company does not recognize a financing component for hardware
installment sales that have a term of one year or less.
Monthly recurring subscriptions
The
Company generates recurring revenue through monthly subscriptions for software services. This service is provided based on an
agreement with the customer regarding software services. Performance obligations are promises in a contract to a
customer. In the subscription model, each billing period represents a performance obligation. The transaction price is
the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods or services. For recurring
revenue, this is the subscription fee. The Company allocates to the performance obligated based on the selling price for the
subscription. If the criteria for recognizing revenue over time are met, revenue is recognized over the period of
performance. For subscription and recurring fee, this means recognizing revenue each billing period.
Bitcoin mining
The Company has entered into a contract with a
digital asset mining pool operator to provide computing power to a mining pool. The contract is terminable at any time by either party
and the Company’s enforceable right to compensation only begins when the Company starts providing computing power to the mining
pool operator. In exchange for providing computing power, we are entitled to a Full-Pay-Per-Share payout of Bitcoin based on a contractual
formula, which primarily calculates the hash rate provided by us to the mining pool as a percentage of total network hash rate, and other
inputs. We are entitled to consideration even if a block is not successfully placed by the mining pool operator and receive daily earnings.
Our daily earnings are recorded net of fees charged by the pool operator.
Providing computing power to solve complex cryptographic
algorithms in support of the Bitcoin blockchain (in a process known as “solving a block”) is an output of the Company’s
ordinary activities. The provision of providing such computing power is the only performance obligation in the Company’s contracts
with mining pool operators. The transaction consideration the Company receives is net of digital asset transaction fees kept by the mining
pool operator and is noncash, in the form of bitcoin, which the Company measures at fair value on the date received which is not materially
different than the fair value at contract inception or time the Company has earned the award from the mining pools. The consideration
is all variable. Because it is not probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will not occur, the consideration is constrained
until the mining pool operator provides the Company with confirmation of the consideration paid, at which time revenue is recognized.
There is no significant financing component in these transactions.
Digital product revenue
The Company generates revenue through electronic
distribution and sale of digital products that range from prepaid wireless SIM activation, international mobile recharge services and
international long distance phone service. The Company generally obtains payment upfront and its performance obligation is to provide
products and/or calling services. When products are provided at the point of sale, revenue is recognized immediately and at the
time of payment. When a customer purchases a prepaid telecom product, such as a prepaid mobile phone plan, the revenue is initially
recorded as a customer deposit and revenue is recognized over the relevant performance period as customers utilize the prepaid telecom
services. As of March 31, 2024, customer deposits were $0.
Leases
The Company determines whether an arrangement
contains a lease at the inception of the arrangement. If a lease is determined to exist, the term of such lease is assessed based on the
date on which the underlying asset is made available for the Company’s use by the lessor. The Company’s assessment of the
lease term reflects the non-cancelable term of the lease, inclusive of any rent-free periods and/or periods covered by early-termination
options which the Company is reasonably certain of not exercising, as well as periods covered by renewal options which the Company is
reasonably certain of exercising. The Company also determines lease classification as either operating or finance at lease commencement,
which governs the pattern of expense recognition and the presentation reflected in the consolidated statements of operations over the
lease term.
For leases with a term exceeding 12 months,
an operating lease liability is recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at lease commencement reflecting the present
value of its fixed minimum payment obligations over the lease term. A corresponding operating lease right-of-use asset equal to the initial
lease liability is also recorded, adjusted for any prepaid rent and/or initial direct costs incurred in connection with execution of the
lease and reduced by any lease incentives received. For purposes of measuring the present value of its fixed payment obligations for a
given lease, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate, determined based on information available at lease commencement, as rates
implicit in its leasing arrangements are typically not readily determinable. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate reflects the
rate it would pay to borrow on a secured basis and incorporates the term and economic environment of the associated lease.
For the Company’s operating leases, fixed
lease payments are recognized as lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months
or less, lease payments are recognized as paid and are not recognized on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as an accounting
policy election. Leases qualifying for the short-term lease exception were insignificant. Variable lease costs are recognized as incurred
and primarily consist of common area maintenance and utility charges not included in the measurement of right of use assets and operating
lease liabilities.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the
asset and liability method, in which 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 and tax credit carry forwards. 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 operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance
is required to the extent any deferred tax assets may not be realizable.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-08,
Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60): Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets. The amendments
in ASU No. 2023-08 are intended to improve the accounting for certain crypto assets by requiring an entity to measure those crypto assets
at fair value each reporting period with changes in fair value recognized in net income. The amendments also improve the information provided
to investors about an entity’s crypto asset holdings by requiring disclosure about significant holdings, contractual sale restrictions,
and changes during the reporting period. The amendments are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024,
including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that
have not yet been issued (or made available for issuance). If an entity adopts the amendments in an interim period, it must adopt them
as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. ASU No. 2023-08 requires a cumulative-effect adjustment to the
opening balance of retained earnings (or other appropriate components of equity or net assets) as of the beginning of the annual reporting
period in which an entity adopts the amendments. The Company has not yet adopted ASU No. 2023-08 and is currently evaluating the impact
that the adoption will have on the Company’s financial statement presentation and disclosures.
NOTE 3 – LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with US GAAP, which assumes that the Company’s management will evaluate whether it will be able to meet
its obligations and continue its operations in the normal course of business. At March 31, 2024, the Company had cash of approximately
$3,300, accounts receivable of approximately $207,000, invested funds of approximately $548,000 and bitcoin valued at $56,000. At March
31, 2024 the Company has a cash overdraft, accounts payable and accrued expenses of approximately $4,130,000. There is also a note
payable of approximately $371,000, a related party payable of approximately $195,000 and preferred dividend due of approximately $450,000.
To date, the Company has generated cash flows from operations, issuances of equity and indebtedness and during the period ended March
31, 2024 reported net cash used by operating activities of approximately $424,700.
On February 16, 2024, The OLB Group, Inc. (the
“Company”) entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”)
to create an at-the-market equity program. Under the Agreement, the Company may offer and sell its common stock, par value $0.0001 per
share, from time to time having an aggregate offering amount of up to $15,000,000 (the “Shares”) during the term of the Agreement
through Maxim, as sales agent (the “ATM Offering”). The Company has agreed to pay Maxim a commission equal to 3.0% of the
gross sales price from the sales of Shares pursuant to the Agreement. In addition, the Company has agreed to reimburse Maxim for its costs
and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with its services, including the fees and out-of-pocket expenses of its legal counsel.
The Shares will be issued pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-255152) filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission that was declared effective on May 3, 2021. On February 20, 2024, the Company filed a prospectus supplement registering
up to $3,900,000 of Shares relating to the ATM Offering with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
In addition, the Company is in the process of
spinning off DMINT into a stand-alone entity. It is expected that the spin-off will occur during the next twelve months. As a result,
the capital required to operate the Bitcoin Mining Segment will no longer be incurred by the Company. Further, DMINT, as a stand-alone
entity, will look to raise capital following the spin-off through either an issuance of DMINT equity or loans against the DMINT assets,
which include the property in Selmer, Tennessee and the Bitcoin mining computers.
Further, during 2023, the Company paused any non-essential
spending on legal and consulting advisors in connection with OLBit’s State Money Transmission License and New York BitLicense applications
to focus on the Company’s payment processing business and Bitcoin mining business. The Company does plan to restart the process
to apply for the licenses in late 2024 or 2025. Therefore, expenses incurred during 2023 for the work are not expected to continue to
have an impact on the working capital of the Company.
Management believes that its current available resources, along with
potential funds to be received from the ATM Offering, will be sufficient to fund the Company’s planned expenditures over the next
12 months. However, management recognizes that it may be required to obtain additional resources to successfully execute its business
plans. No assurances can be given that management will be successful in raising additional capital, if needed, or on acceptable terms.
These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts
and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company determine it shall be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 6 – INVESTMENT IN EQUITY SECURITIES
The Company owns 165.27 units (1.11%) of Node Capital Token Opportunity
Fund LP (the “Fund”) for which it paid an aggregate of $250,000 in August 2021. The investment was locked up for two years
and a redemption can be made after the expiration of the lock up period with 90 days written notice. The Fund may, at the discretion of
the General Partner, compulsorily redeem all interests if the Net Asset Value of the Fund falls below $1,000,000. During the three months
ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized an unrealized gain (loss) of $274,731 and $0, respectively, and as of March 31,
2024 and December 31, 2023, the investment in equity securities was $548,393 and $273,662, respectively.
NOTE 7 – BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
On June 15, 2023, the Company entered into a Membership
Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with SDI Black 001, LLC (“Seller”) whereby it acquired 80.01% of
the membership interests of Cuentas SDI, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (the “LLC”) for a purchase price of $850,000.
The Company accounted for the transaction as a business combination
under ASC 805 and as a result, allocated the fair value of the book value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of
the acquisition date as outlined in the table below. The consolidated income statement for the three months ended March 31, 2024, includes
$867,305 of revenue and $1,012,487 of expenses of Cuentas SDI, LLC for a net loss of $145,182.
The excess of the purchase price over the estimated
fair values of the underlying identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and non-controlling interest was allocated to goodwill.
The provisional estimated fair value of the noncontrolling interest was based on the price the Company paid for their 80.01% of their
controlling interest. The goodwill represents expected synergies from the combined operations and the acquired base of current and prior
merchants to which we hope to sell our merchant services.
The allocation of the purchase price and the estimated
fair market values of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interest are shown below:

NOTE 8 – NOTE PAYABLE
On November 29, 2021, the Company entered into a Master Equipment Finance

The collateral and interest rate are determined at the time the Company borrows the funds. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the
Company received, as an initial draw on the MFA, $875,000 from VFS (the “Equipment Loan”). The Equipment Loan is secured by
bitcoin mining computers being utilized by DMINT. The Equipment Loan requires monthly payments of $24,838 until the loan is repaid in

NOTE 13 – PREFERRED STOCK
Our certificate of incorporation, as amended,
authorizes the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock with such designation, rights and preferences as
may be determined from time to time by our board of directors.
Series A Preferred Stock
On August 7, 2020, we filed a Certificate of Designations,
Preferences and Rights of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designations”) with the Secretary of State of Delaware. The
Certificate of Designations will provide that the Company may issue up to 10,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock at a stated
value (the “Stated Value”) of $1,000 per share. As of March 31, 2024 and 2023 there were 1,021 shares of Series A Preferred
Stock issued and outstanding. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to the following rights and preferences.
Dividends
The Series A Preferred Stockholders are entitled
to receive cash dividends at a rate per share (as a percentage of the Stated Value per share) of 12% per annum. Dividends accrue
quarterly. Dividends are to be paid to the holders from funds legally available for payment and as approved for payment by the Board of
Directors of the Company.
Conversion
The Series A Preferred Stock holders may convert,
at their option, on or after the date on which the Term Loan is repaid in full, each share of Series A Preferred Stock (along with accrued
but unpaid dividends thereon) into such number of shares of common stock as determined by dividing the Stated Value by the conversion
price. The conversion price for the Series A Preferred Stock will be equal to the offering price per Unit in this offering and will be
subject to adjustment for splits and the like. The holders of Series A Preferred Stock will only be permitted to convert their shares
of Series A Preferred Stock into shares of common stock at such time as the Term Loan has been repaid in full and there are no further
outstanding obligations regarding such indebtedness.
Voting
Each holder of a share of Series A Preferred Stock
will have the right to vote its shares of Series A Preferred Stock with the common stock on an as-converted basis, and with respect to
such votes, such holder shall have full voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the holders of common stock,
and shall be entitled, to notice of any stockholders’ meeting in accordance with the Company’s bylaws, and shall be entitled
to vote, together with holders of common stock, with respect to any question upon which holders of common stock have the right to vote.
Fractional votes shall not be permitted, and such shares shall be rounded up.
Liquidation Preference
Each share of Series A Preferred Stock will have
a liquidation preference equal to the Stated Value plus any accrued but unpaid dividends thereon. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution
or winding up of the Company (which includes any merger, reorganization, sale of assets in which control of the Company is transferred
or event which results in all or substantially all of the Company’s assets being transferred), the holders of Series A Preferred
Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Company, before any payment is made to the holders of the Company’s
common stock and either in preference to or pari pasu with the holders of any other series of preferred stock that may
be issued in the future, a per share amount equal to the liquidation preference.

NOTE 15 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In the normal course of business, the Company
may be involved in legal proceedings, claims and assessments arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company records legal costs
associated with loss contingencies as incurred and accrues for all probable and estimable settlements.
On November 24, 2021, we entered into an Asset
Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) dated as of November 15, 2021, with FFS Data Corporation (“FFS”) whereby
we acquired a portfolio of merchants utilizing financial transaction processing services (the “Acquired Merchant Portfolio”).
The purchase price was $20 million, with $16 million paid at closing, $2 million payable within six months after closing, and a $2 million
payment to be transferred to an escrow account, contingent upon an Attrition Adjustment, as described in the Agreement. However, the
Company is engaged ongoing litigation with FFS relating to allegations of, among other things, breaches of contract in connection with
the Acquired Merchant Portfolio whereby FFS is claiming to be paid the full purchase price of the Acquired Merchant Portfolio and the
Company is making a claim to recover the purchase price of the Acquired Merchant Portfolio based on misrepresentations made about the
Acquired Merchant Portfolio and related fraud and other claims, which resulted in a termination of the bank processing agreement by Clear
Fork Bank (the “Bank”) and eventual termination of all payment processing business with the merchants. In addition, in connection
with the litigation with FFS, the Company has also made a claim against the Bank for damages the Company suffered as a result of it having
to cease processing transactions for the merchants underlying the Acquired Merchant Portfolio. The Bank has filed a counterclaim for fees
incurred by it in connection with the transactions processed since the acquisition of the Acquired Merchant Portfolio by the Company.
However, the damages claimed have been materially reduced over time due to account balancing which was not completed at the time of the
counterclaim. The litigations are currently in discovery and dates for trial are not yet finalized.
DMINT is currently in a contract dispute with
a contractor. The Company has paid $100,000 to the contractor for work completed and materials provided and returned materials to offset
the potential liability of approximately $444,000. The Company has recorded just over $315,000 in accounts payable related to the matter.
The matter continues to be in discovery; however, the parties continue to discuss settlement. The parties are working on a payment schedule
but have been unable to agree on terms to date.
NOTE 16 – SEGMENTS

in determining its reportable segments. The Company has two reportable segments: Bitcoin Mining and Fintech Services. The guidance requires
that segment disclosures present the measure(s) used by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) to decide how to allocate

NOTE 17 – MERCHANT PORTFOLIO PURCHASE
INSTALLMENT OBLIGATION
On November 24, 2021, we entered into an Asset
Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) dated as of November 15, 2021 with FFS Data Corporation (“Seller”) whereby
we acquired a portfolio of merchants utilizing financial transaction processing services (the “Acquired Merchant Portfolio”).
The purchase price was $20 million, with $16 million paid at closing, $2 million payable within six months after closing, and a $2 million
payment to be transferred to an escrow account, contingent upon an Attrition Adjustment, as described in the Agreement. Company management
has recognized a liability for the $2,000,000 contingent payment amount as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Legal proceedings
regarding this matter began in 2022 and have continued through 2024, see Note 15.
NOTE 18 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In accordance with SFAS 165 (ASC 855-10) management
has performed an evaluation of subsequent events through the date that the financial statements were issued and has determined that is
has the following material subsequent events to disclose in these financial statements.
On
April 8, 2024, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to the Employment Agreement with Mr. Yakov (the
“Yakov Agreement”). The Amendment corrected a ministerial error in the terms relating to the exercise price of stock options
awarded and automobile allowance for Mr. Yakov. The Amendment affirmed that the exercise price of stock options issued under the Agreement
(the “Stock Options”) shall have a per share exercise price equal to One Cent ($0.01) and expire ten years after the date
of grant. Each Stock Option granted shall become exercisable as follows: 50% upon the grant date, then 25% upon each of the second and
third anniversary of the date on which it is granted. In addition, the notices provision of the Yakov Agreement was amended to the reflect
the current business address of the Company.
On April 26, 2024, the Company filed with the
Delaware Secretary of State a Certificate of Amendment to Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”) which
became effective on April 26, 2024 to effect a one-for-ten (1:10) reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the shares
of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) The Reverse Stock Split was approved
by the Company’s stockholders at a special meeting on April 26, 2024.
As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every ten (10) shares of issued
and outstanding Common Stock were automatically combined into one (1) issued and outstanding share of Common Stock, without any change
in the par value per share. No fractional shares were issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split and any fractional shares resulting
from the reverse stock split were rounded down to the nearest number of whole shares so that we issued cash in lieu of any fractional
shares that such stockholder would have received as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Following the Reverse Stock Split, the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding was reduced from 18,103,462 shares to 1,810,200 shares after taking into account an adjustment
of 146 common shares due to the fact that no fractional shares were issued. The shares of Common Stock underlying the Company’s
outstanding stock options and warrants were similarly adjusted along with corresponding adjustments to their exercise prices. The number
of authorized shares of Common Stock under the Certificate of Incorporation will remain unchanged at 50,000,000 shares. All shares reported
in this Form 10Q have been retroactively restated to reflect the Reverse Stock Split as though it had occurred as of January 1, 2023.
On May 20, 2024, the Company entered into a Membership
Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) dated as of May 20, 2024 with Cuentas, Inc. (“Seller”) whereby
it acquired 19.99% of the membership interests of Cuentas SDI, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (the “LLC”) for a
purchase price of $215,500. As a result, effective May 20, 2024 the Company owns 100% of the LLC.
The Agreement contains a restrictive covenant
whereby for a period of three (3) years from the Closing, none of Seller, including its any of its principals, executives, officers, directors,
managers, employees, salespersons, or entities in which such principal has any interest, will directly or indirectly (i) induce, attempt
to induce, interfere with, disrupt or attempt to disrupt any past, present or prospective business relationship, solicit, market to, endeavor
to obtain as a customer, or contract with any Merchant in order to provide services to such Merchant in competition with the Company;
or (ii) solicit or interfere with, disrupt or attempt to disrupt any past, present or prospective business relationship, contractual or
otherwise any person or entity that is a party to any contract assigned to the Company to terminate its contractual or business relationship
with the Company.

Company Overview and Description of Business
Overview
We are a FinTech company that focuses on a suite
of products in the merchant services marketplace that seeks to provide integrated business solutions to merchants throughout the United States.
We seek to accomplish this by providing merchants with a wide range of products and services through our various online platforms, including
financial and transaction processing services. We also have products that provide support for crowdfunding and other capital raising initiatives.
We supplement our online platforms with certain hardware solutions that are integrated with our online platforms. Our business functions
primarily through three wholly-owned subsidiaries, eVance, OmniSoft, and CrowdPay, though substantially all of our revenue has been
generated from our eVance business (we began generating revenue from our OmniSoft and CrowdPay businesses in the second half of 2019).
We expect to build out our OmniSoft software business and to rely more on individualized merchant services offerings for revenue so that
we are not dependent on our revenue from our eVance business but there is no guarantee that we will be able to do so.
With respect to our eVance business, our merchants
are currently processing over $100,000,000 in gross transactions monthly and average approximately 1,400,000 transactions a month. These
transactions come from a variety of sources including direct accounts and ISO channels. The accounts consist of businesses across the
United States with no concentration of industries or merchants.
We have integrated all the applications for OmniSoft
and the ShopFast Omnicommerce solution with the eVance mobile payment gateway, SecurePay.comTM. SecurePay.comTM, is currently used by
approximately 3,000 merchants processing over 32,000 transactions and approximately $9,000,000 of monthly gross transactions (though our
revenue from these transactions is limited). In July 2019, we launched a new merchant and ISO boarding system that will be able to onboard
merchants instantly. This provides the merchant with an automated approval and ISOs will have the ability to see all their merchants and
their residuals as they load to the system.
On May 22, 2020, the Company purchased certain
assets from POSaBIT Inc. (“POSaBIT”), including its contracts and arrangements with the Doublebeam merchant payment processing
platform (the “POSaBIT Asset Acquisition”). The assets included, but were not limited to, software source codes, customer
lists, customer contracts, hardware and website domains.
On May 14, 2021, the Company formed OLBit, Inc.,
a wholly owned subsidiary (“OLBit”). The purpose of OLBit is to hold the Company’s assets and operate its business related
to its emerging money transmission and transactional business.
On July 23, 2021, we formed DMINT, Inc., a wholly
owned subsidiary (“DMINT”) to operate in the Bitcoin mining industry, specifically the mining of Bitcoin. DMINT initiated
the first phase of the Bitcoin mining operation by placing data centers and ASIC-based Antminer S19J Pro mining computers specifically
configured to mine Bitcoin in Pennsylvania. As of December 31, 2022, DMINT had purchased 1,000 computers. In February 2023, it re-deployed
all of the computers to its Selmer, Tennessee location. At December 31, 2023, DMINT had mined 31.06 Bitcoin.
On January 3, 2022, the Company entered into a
share exchange agreement with all of the shareholders of Crowd Ignition, Inc. (“Crowd Ignition”) whereby the Company would
purchase 100% of the equity of Crowd Ignition in exchange for 1,318,408 shares of the common stock, par value $0.0001 of the Company (the
“CI Issued Shares”). The value of the CI Issued Shares was, for purposes of the Agreement, based on the closing trading price
of the Company on October 1, 2021 (the date on which a third-party fairness opinion was issued), resulting in an aggregate purchase price
for Crowd Ignition of $5.3 million.
Crowd Ignition is a web-based crowdfunding software
system. Ronny Yakov, Chairman and CEO of the Company and John Herzog, a significant shareholder of the Company, own 100% of the equity
of Crowd Ignition. The software provides broker-dealer, merchant banks and law firms a platform to market crowdfunding offerings, collect
payments and issue securities. The software has been developed in response to, and to comply with, recent changes in investment regulations
including Regulation D 506(b) and 506(v), Regulation A+ and Title III of the Jobs Act (Regulation CF), including raising the crowdfunding
limit from $1.07 million to $5.0 million. Crowd Ignition is one of only about 50 companies registered with the SEC to provide the services
permitted under Regulation CF.
On June 15, 2023, the Company acquired 80.01%
of the membership interests of Cuentas SDI, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“SDI”). SDI will enable the Company
to focus on marketing to the underbanked communities utilizing the SDI debit and calling card platform’s ability for users to reload
cash to their account and provide instant access to digital products to their customers’ Mobile App and digital wallet into its
electronic portal. The Company plans to market to the SDI merchant network, which currently has approximately 31,600 locations in the
United States, the ability of having one POS system that will allow the retail customer to purchase products using OLB’s payment
processing solutions along with the ability to reload payment cards and their mobile phone minutes.
Results of Operations
Management’s discussion and analysis of
financial condition and results of operations (“MD&A”) includes a discussion of the consolidated results from operations
of The OLB Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.
Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 Compared
to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we
had total revenue of $3,496,182 compared to $6,622,589 of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023, a decrease of $3,126,407
or 47.2%. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we earned $2,288,209 in transaction and processing fees, $20,183 in merchant equipment
rental and sales, $108,868 in other revenue from monthly recurring subscriptions, $211,617 of revenue from the Bitcoin Mining segment
and $867,305 of revenue from the sale of digital products. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we earned $6,353,471 in transaction
and processing fees, $24,764 in merchant equipment rental and sales, $77,605 in other revenue from monthly recurring subscriptions and
$166,749 of other revenue from the Cryptocurrency Mining segment. The decrease in revenue was a result of the loss of the CBD portfolio.
Processing and servicing costs decreased by $2,323,841 or 45.8%, from $5,077,434 in the prior period to $2,753,593.
Amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024, was
$190,961 compared to $899,831 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 a decrease of $708,870 or 78.8%. We record amortization expense
on our merchant portfolio, trademarks and natural gas purchase rights. The decrease in the current period is due to the write off of the
CBD portfolio as of December 31, 2023, therefore no amortization was recorded for the asset during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $749,520 compared to $799,717 for the three months ended March 31,
2023, a decrease of $50,197 or 6.3%. Our depreciation expense decrease is due to adjustments made in 2023 to depreciating the mining equipment.
Salary and wage expense for the three months ended
March 31, 2024, was $1,016,338 compared to $823,140 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, an increase of $193,198 or 23.5%. Salary
and wage expenses have increased due to an additional expense of $172,086 for option expense and $73,149 for Cuentas SDI, LLC and additional
employees.
Professional fees for the three months ended March
31, 2024, were $648,443 compared to $369,344 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, an increase of $279,099 or 75.6%. Professional
fees consist mainly of audit and legal fees. The increase was due to increased litigation-related legal expenses and auditor and legal
expenses relating to the preparation of a spin-off of DMINT during the 2024 period.
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March
31, 2024, was $1,024,892 compared to $1,055,257 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, a decrease of $30,365 or 2.9%, an immaterial change
period over period.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we had total other income
of $486,947 from an unrealized gain on investment of $274,731, a $225,229 gain on the sale of bitcoin, and $13,013 of interest expense.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we had total other expense of $213,271 from a $327,925 loss on the sale of bitcoin offset by
other income of $114,654.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we
had $29,022 of net loss attributed to the non-controlling interest of Cuentas SDI, LLC, due to the acquisition of 80.01% interest of the
entity during the quarter ended June 30, 2023.
Our net loss for the three months ended March
31, 2024, after the reduction for minority interest, was $2,371,596 compared to $2,615,405 for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
This was a decrease in our net loss of $243,810 for the reasons discussed above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Changes in Cash Flows
For the three months ended March 31, 2024,
we used $424,700 of cash in operating activities, which included our net loss of $2,400,618 offset by $940,481 for amortization and
depreciation expense, $304,874 for stock-based compensation, $225,229 gain on sale of bitcoin, $274,731 gain on investment and net
changes in operating assets and liabilities of $1,230,523.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we received net cash of
$249,013 in financing activities as a result of receiving $182,150 from our CEO, $9,775 from the sale of common stock, $6,840 in proceeds
from exercise of options by related parties, and an increase in our cash overdraft of $91,020. We made repayments on our note payable
of $40,772.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 2024, the Company had cash of $3,319
and negative working capital of $5,832,924.
On February 16, 2024, the Company entered into
an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”) to create an at-the-market equity
program. Under the Agreement, the Company may offer and sell its common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, from time to time having an
aggregate offering amount of up to $15,000,000 (the “Shares”) during the term of the Agreement through Maxim, as sales agent
(the “ATM Offering”). The Company has agreed to pay Maxim a commission equal to 3.0% of the gross sales price from the sales
of Shares pursuant to the Agreement. In addition, the Company has agreed to reimburse Maxim for its costs and out-of-pocket expenses incurred
in connection with its services, including the fees and out-of-pocket expenses of its legal counsel. As of March 31, 2024, the ATM Offering
has resulted in net proceeds of $9,775.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024,
Mr. Yakov made payments on behalf of the company in the amount of $182,150. As of March 31, 2024, the Company owes Mr. Yakov $194,828.
The amount is non-interest bearing and due on demand.
The Company has reviewed its cash flow activity during 2023 and the
first quarter ended March 31, 2024 and projected cash flow forecast for the remainder of 2024. At March 31, 2024, the Company had cash
of approximately $3,300, accounts receivable of approximately $207,000, invested funds of approximately $548,000 and bitcoin valued at
$56,000. The Company has performed an overall analysis of market trends to determine whether or not it has sufficient liquidity to continue
as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from the date of this Annual Report. Management believes that its current available
resources, along with funds to be received from the ATM Offering, creates sufficient liquidity in order to sustain operations for at least
the twelve months following the filing of this Quarterly Report.
Critical Accounting Policies
Refer to our Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2023, for a full discussion of our critical accounting policies.
Subsequent Events
On April 8, 2024, the Company entered into Amendment
No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to the Employment Agreement with Mr. Yakov (the “Yakov Agreement”). The Amendment corrected
a ministerial error in the terms relating to the exercise price of stock options awarded and automobile allowance for Mr. Yakov. The Amendment
affirmed that the exercise price of stock options issued under the Agreement (the “Stock Options”) shall have a per share
exercise price equal to One Cent ($0.01) and expire ten years after the date of grant. Each Stock Option granted shall become exercisable
as follows: 50% upon the grant date, then 25% upon each of the second and third anniversary of the date on which it is granted. In addition,
the notices provision of the Yakov Agreement was amended to the reflect the current business address of the Company.
On April 26, 2024, the Company filed with the
Delaware Secretary of State a Certificate of Amendment to Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”) which
became effective on April 26, 2024 to effect a one-for-ten (1:10) reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the shares
of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) The Reverse Stock Split was approved
by the Company’s stockholders at a special meeting on April 26, 2024.
As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every
ten (10) shares of issued and outstanding Common Stock will be automatically combined into one (1) issued and outstanding share of Common
Stock, without any change in the par value per share. No fractional shares were issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split and any
fractional shares resulting from the reverse stock split were rounded down to the nearest number of whole shares so that we will issue
cash in lieu of any fractional shares that such stockholder would have received as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Following the
Reverse Stock Split, the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding was reduced from 18,103,462 shares to 1,810,346 shares.
The shares of Common Stock underlying the Company’s outstanding stock options and warrants will be similarly adjusted along with
corresponding adjustments to their exercise prices. The number of authorized shares of Common Stock under the Certificate of Incorporation
will remain unchanged at 50,000,000 shares.
On May 20, 2024, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase
Agreement (the “Agreement”) dated as of May 20, 2024 with Cuentas, Inc. (“Seller”) whereby it acquired 19.99%
of the membership interests of Cuentas SDI, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (the “LLC”) for a purchase price of $215,500.00.
As a result, effective May 20, 2024 the Company owns 100% of the LLC.
The Agreement contains a restrictive covenant
whereby for a period of three (3) years from the Closing, none of Seller, including its any of its principals, executives, officers, directors,
managers, employees, salespersons, or entities in which such principal has any interest, will directly or indirectly (i) induce, attempt
to induce, interfere with, disrupt or attempt to disrupt any past, present or prospective business relationship, solicit, market to, endeavor
to obtain as a customer, or contract with any Merchant in order to provide services to such Merchant in competition with the Company;
or (ii) solicit or interfere with, disrupt or attempt to disrupt any past, present or prospective business relationship, contractual or
otherwise any person or entity that is a party to any contract assigned to the Company to terminate its contractual or business relationship
with the Company.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES
ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are a smaller reporting company as defined
by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and, as such, are not required to provide the information under this Item.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
During the first quarter ended March 31, 2024,
we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer
and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e)
and 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the
end of the period covered in this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required
to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, are recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the required time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management,
including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
Our principal executive officer and principal
financial officer, do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors or fraud.
A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives
of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the
benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation
of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial
Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal controls
over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2024, that have materially or are reasonably likely to materially
affect our internal controls over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is engaged in ongoing litigation
with FFS relating to a breach of contract in connection with the Acquired Merchant Portfolio whereby the Company is making a claim
to recover the purchase price of the Acquired Merchant Portfolio and FFS is claiming to be paid the full purchase price of the
Acquired Merchant Portfolio,. In addition, in connection with the litigation with FFS, the Company has also made a claim against
Clear Fork Bank (the “Bank”), the payment processing bank for the Acquired Merchant Portfolio, for damages the Company
suffered as a result of it having to cease processing transactions for the merchants underlying the Acquired Merchant Portfolio. The
Bank has filed a counterclaim for fees incurred by it in connection with the transactions processed since the acquisition of the
Acquired Merchant Portfolio by the Company. However, the damages claimed have been materially reduced over time due to account
balancing which was not completed at the time of the counterclaim.
DMINT is currently in a contract dispute with a contractor. The Company
has paid $100,000 to the contractor for work completed and materials provided and returned materials to offset the potential liability
of approximately $444,000. The Company has recorded just over $315,000 in accounts payable related to the matter. The matter continues
to be in discovery; however, the parties continue to discuss settlement. The parties are working on a payment schedule but have been unable
to agree on terms to date.
Other than discussed above, there are no
material claims, actions, suits, proceedings, or investigations that are currently pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened
by or against the Company or respecting its operations or assets, or by or against any of the Company’s officers, directors, or
affiliates.
