1 - Organization and Nature of Operations
Global Equity International Inc. (the “Company”
or “GEI”), a reporting company since June 21, 2012, was organized under the laws of the state of Nevada on October
1, 2010. Global Equity Partners, Plc. (“GEP”), a private company, was organized under the laws of the Republic of
Seychelles on September 2, 2009. On November 15, 2010, GEP executed a reverse recapitalization with GEI. On August 22, 2014, we
formed a Dubai subsidiary of GEP called GE Professionals DMCC. On June 10, 2016, GEI incorporated its wholly owned subsidiary,
called GEP Equity Holdings Limited (“GEP EH”), under the laws of the Republic of Seychelles. On March 14, 2017, the
Company´s board of directors unanimously voted to transfer the ownership of GE Professionals DMCC (Dubai) to GEP EH. On
June 5, 2017, the Company sold 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of GEP to a citizen of the Republic of Thailand
by entering into a Stock Purchase and Debt Assumption Agreement (See Note 5).
Revenue
is generated from business consulting services and employment placements.
Note
2 - Basis of Presentation
The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission
for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and disclosures necessary for a comprehensive
presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. It is management’s opinion, however, that all
material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statements
presentation.
The
unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form
10-K, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto, together with the Management’s Discussion and Analysis,
for the year ended December 31, 2016. The interim results for the period ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative
of results for the full fiscal year.
Note
3 - Going Concern
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization
of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These consolidated financial statements do not
include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be
necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
As
reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company had a net loss of $1,538,770 and $2,291,081 for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 respectively, net cash used by operations of $163,854 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2017; and had a working capital of $1,381,370 and stockholders´ equity of $1,803,525 as of September 30, 2017.
It is management’s opinion that some of these factors may raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue
as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the issue date of this report.
The
ability for the Company to continue its operations is primarily dependent on:
|
a)
|
Continually
engaging with new clients, and
|
|
|
|
|
b)
|
Consummating
and executing current engagements.

Whilst
the Company´s current engagements are being consummated and executed, the Company may also have to resort to borrowing additional
funds with certain related parties, such as management, and also third party funders on a non-discounted basis (if for shares,
on a fixed price basis) to sustain the Company’s existence. In addition, in the event that operating cash flows are slowed,
the Company would reduce its overheads wherever possible and any monies owed to the management can also be forgiven, if necessary.
Note
4 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles
of Consolidation
Global
Equity International Inc. (GEI) is the parent Company of its 100% owned subsidiary called GEP Equity Holdings Limited (GEP EH).
GEI also owned 100% shareholding of its subsidiary called Global Equity Partners Plc until the date it was sold pursuant to a
stock purchase and debt assumption agreement on June 5, 2017. GEP EH is the parent company of its 100% owned subsidiary, GE Professionals
DMCC (Dubai). All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting
period.
Making
estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect
of a condition, situation, or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered
in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future non-confirming events. Accordingly, the actual
results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in the accompanying financial statements include allowance for
doubtful accounts and loans, estimates of fair value of securities received for services, estimates of fair value of securities
held, depreciation of fixed assets, valuation allowance on deferred tax assets and equity valuations for non-cash equity grants.
Risks
and Uncertainties
The
Company’s operations are subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial, operational, competition and
potential risk of business failure. The risk of social and governmental factors is also a concern since the Company is headquartered
in Dubai.
Cash
& Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments
with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At September 30, 2017 and at December 31, 2016,
the Company had no cash equivalents.
Accounts
Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The
Company recognizes accounts receivable in connection with the services provided. The Company recognizes an allowance for doubtful
accounts based on an analysis of current receivables aging and expected future write-offs, as well as an assessment of specific
identifiable customer accounts considered at risk or uncollectible. There was no allowance for bad debt at September 30, 2017
and December 31, 2016. However, there were direct write offs of $65,386 during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Foreign
currency policy
The
Company’s accounting policies related to the consolidation and accounting for foreign operations are as follows: The
accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars. The functional currency of the Company’s
Dubai subsidiary is the Arab Emirates Dirham (AED). All foreign currency balances and transactions are translated into United
States dollars “$” and/or “USD” as the reporting currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at
the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange
prevailing during the reporting period. Equity transactions are translated at each historical transaction date spot rate.
Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of
our stockholders’ equity (deficit) as “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)”. Since the AED is
pegged to the U.S. dollar, translation gains and losses are always De Minimis. Gains and losses resulting from foreign
currency transactions are included in the non-operating income or expenses of the statement of operations.
Investments
(A)
Classification of Securities
Marketable
Securities
At
the time of the acquisition, a marketable security is designated as held-to-maturity, available-for-sale or trading, which depends
on the ability and intent to hold such security to maturity. Securities classified as trading and available-for-sale are reported
at fair value, while securities classified as held-to-maturity are reported at amortized cost.
Any
unrealized gains and losses are reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss). Realized gains (losses) are computed
on a specific identification basis and are reflected in the statement of operations.
Cost
Method Investments
Securities
that are not classified as marketable securities are accounted for under the cost method. These securities are recorded at their
original cost basis and are subject to impairment testing.
(B)
Other than Temporary Impairment
The
Company reviews its equity investment portfolio for any unrealized losses that would be deemed other than temporary and require
the recognition of an impairment loss in the statement of operations. If the cost of an investment exceeds its fair value, the
Company evaluates, among other factors, general market conditions, the duration and extent to which the fair value is less than
cost, and the Company’s intent and ability to hold the investments. Management also considers the type of security, related-industry
and sector performance, as well as published investment ratings and analyst reports, to evaluate its portfolio. Once a decline
in fair value is determined to be other than temporary, an impairment charge is recorded and a new cost basis in the investment
is established. If market, industry, and/or investee conditions deteriorate, the Company may incur future impairments. The Company
recorded a permanent impairment of $1,181,971 during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Fixed
Assets
Fixed
assets are stated at cost of acquisition less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided based on estimated useful lives
of the assets. Cost of improvements that substantially extend the useful lives of assets are capitalized. Repairs and maintenance
expenses are charged to expense when incurred. In case of sale or disposal of an asset, the cost and related accumulated depreciation
are removed from the consolidated financial statements.
Beneficial
Conversion Feature
For
conventional convertible debt where the rate of conversion is below market value, the Company records any “beneficial conversion
feature” (“BCF”) intrinsic value as additional paid in capital and related debt discount.
When
the Company records a BCF, the relative fair value of the BCF is recorded as a debt discount against the face amount of the respective
debt instrument. The discount is amortized over the life of the debt. If a conversion of the underlying debt occurs, a proportionate
share of the unamortized amounts is immediately expensed.
Debt
Issue Costs
The
Company may pay debt issue costs in connection with raising funds through the issuance of debt whether convertible or not or with
other consideration. These costs are recorded as debt discounts and are amortized over the life of the debt to the statement of
operations as amortization of debt discount.
Original
Issue Discount
If
debt is issued with an original issue discount, the original issue discount is recorded to debt discount, reducing the face amount
of the note and is amortized over the life of the debt to the statement of operations as amortization of debt discount. If a conversion
of the underlying debt occurs, a proportionate share of the unamortized amounts is immediately expensed.
Valuation
of Derivative Instruments
ASC
815 “Derivatives and Hedging” requires that embedded derivative instruments be bifurcated and assessed, along with
free-standing derivative instruments such as warrants, on their issuance date and measured at their fair value for accounting
purposes. In determining the appropriate fair value, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing formula. Upon conversion
of a note where the embedded conversion option has been bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative liability, the Company records
the shares at fair value, relieves all related notes, derivatives and debt discounts and recognizes a net gain or loss on debt
extinguishment.
Revenue
Recognition
We
recognize revenue from the services we provide in accordance with ASC Topic 605,
Revenue Recognition
. ASC Topic 605 sets
forth guidance as to when revenue is realized or realizable and earned, which is generally, when all of the following criteria
are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been performed; (3) the
seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Generally, the contract
terms for these services are relatively short in duration.

(Unaudited)
We
receive consideration in the form of cash and/or securities. We recognize cash consideration as revenues as the services are performed
either on a pro rata basis or on a milestone basis.
Securities
received as consideration are often earned at a point in time when the specified event occurs and the securities are issued to
us. Therefore, we measure and recognize these securities received at fair value on the date of receipt. If securities are received
in advance of completion of our services, the fair value will be recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as revenue as the
services are completed.
All
revenues are generated from clients whose operations are based outside of the United States. For the nine months ended September
30, 2017 and 2016, the Company had the following concentrations of revenues with customers:

Share-based
payments
The
Company recognizes all forms of share-based payments to employees, including stock option grants, warrants and restricted stock
grants at their fair value on the grant date, which is based on the estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to
vest.
Share
based payment awards issued to non-employees for services rendered are recorded at either the fair value of the services rendered
or the fair value of the share-based payment, whichever is more readily determinable as of the measurement date. Amounts received
prior to the measurement date are adjusted to fair value at each reporting period until a measurement date is achieved. The grants
are amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods, which is generally the vesting period.
Share
based payments, excluding restricted stock, are valued using a Black-Scholes pricing model.
When
computing fair value, the Company considered the following variables:
|
●
|
The
risk-free interest rate assumption is based on the U.S. Treasury yield for a period consistent with the expected term of the
share based payment in effect at the time of the grant.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
The
expected term is developed by management estimate.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
The
Company has not paid any dividends on common stock since inception and does not anticipate paying dividends on its common
stock in the near future.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
The
expected volatility is based on management estimates which are based upon our historical volatility.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
The
forfeiture rate is based on historical experience.
|
Earnings
per Share
The
basic net earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) by weighted average number of shares of common
stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted
average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the period.

As
at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had common stock equivalents of 32,095,853 and 2,941,176 common shares
respectively, in the form of fixed price convertible notes, which, if converted, would be dilutive. See Note 8(F). These common
stock equivalents were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share because the effects would have been anti-dilutive
due to the net losses.
Fair
Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities
The
Company measures assets and liabilities at fair value based on an expected exit price as defined by the authoritative guidance
on fair value measurements, which represents the amount that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability,
as the case may be, in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value may be based on assumptions that
market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
The
authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring
or nonrecurring basis whereby inputs, used in valuation techniques, are assigned a hierarchical level. The following are the hierarchical
levels of inputs to measure fair value:
|
●
|
Level
1: Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Level
2: Inputs reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar
assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities;
or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Level
3: Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair
value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available.
|
The
carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for prepaid expenses, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accounts payable to
related parties and loans payable to related parties, approximate fair value are based on the short-term nature of these instruments.
The
Company measures its derivative liabilities at fair market value on a recurring basis and measures its non-marketable securities
at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Consequently, the Company may have gains and losses reported in the statement of operations.
The
following is the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis at September
30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1), significant other observable
inputs (Level 2), and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

Non-Marketable
Securities at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis
— Certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.
The level 3 position consist of investments accounted for under the cost method. The Level 3 position consists of investments
in equity securities held in private companies.
Management
believes that an “other-than-temporary impairment” would be justified, as according to ASC 320-10 an investment is
considered impaired when the fair value of an investment is less than its amortized cost basis. The impairment is considered either
temporary or other-than-temporary. The accounting literature does not define other-than-temporary. It does, however, state that
other-than-temporary does not mean permanent, although, all permanent impairments are considered other-than-temporary. The literature
does provide some examples of factors, which may be indicative of an “other-than-temporary impairment”, such as:
|
●
|
the
length of time and extent to which market value has been less than cost;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
the
financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer; and
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
the
intent and ability of the holder to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated
recovery in market value.
|
Management
believes that the fair value of its investment has been correctly measured, as the length of time that the stock has been less
than cost is nominal.

In
May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This update is intended to improve the
financial reporting requirements for revenue from contracts with customers by providing a principle-based approach. The core principle
of the standard is that revenue should be recognized when the transfer of promised goods or services is made in an amount that
the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for the transfer of goods and services. The update also requires disclosures
enabling users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising
from contracts with customers. On July 9, 2015, the FASB voted to defer the effective date of this guidance by one year. On March
17, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Principal versus Agent Considerations,
which clarifies how an entity determines if it is a principal or an agent for each specified good or service promised to the customer,
the nature of each specified good or service, and how an entity that is principal obtains control of a good and service provided
by another party involved in providing goods or services to a customer. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, Revenue from
Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, which clarifies the guidance related
to whether goods or services are distinct within the context of contract and therefore a performance obligation and the timing
and pattern of revenue recognition for IP licenses. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers
(Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, which provides clarifying guidance in certain narrow areas and
added some practical expedients. In December 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-20, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606):
Technical Corrections and Improvements, which provides clarifying guidance in certain technical areas. The standard and related
amendments will be effective for financial statements issued by public companies for interim and annual reporting periods beginning
after December 15, 2017. Early adoption of the standard is permitted, but not before the original date of financial statements
issued by public companies for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 16, 2017. We currently do not plan
to early adopt this guidance and are evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements
as well as transition methods.

August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flow (Topic 230). This update is intended to reduce diversity in practice
in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. The update provides new guidance regarding the classification
of debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments, contingent consideration payments
made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned
life insurance policies including bank-owned life insurance policies, distributions received from equity method investments, beneficial
interests in securitized transactions, and separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. This
standard will be effective for financial statements issued by public companies for the annual and interim periods beginning after
December 15, 2017. Early adoption of the standard is permitted. The standard will be applied in a retrospective approach for each
period presented. We have completed an initial evaluation of this standard, which requires cash payments for debt prepayment or
debt extinguishment costs should be classified as cash outflows for financing activities. We have determined that there were no
cash payments involved in debt extinguishment during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, hence there will be no potential
impact on our financial statements due to this update. We will continue to evaluate the potential impact of this guidance on our
consolidated financial statements.
In
February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”). The FASB issued ASU 2016-02
to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance
sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. Under ASU 2016-02, a lessee will recognize in the statement of
financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-to-use asset representing its right to
use the underlying asset for the lease term. The amendments of this ASU are effective for reporting periods beginning after December
15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. An entity will be required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest
period presented using a modified retrospective approach. Management currently does not plan to early adopt this guidance and
is evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on the consolidated financial statements as well as transition methods.

In
January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments—Overall (Topic 825-10): “Recognition and Measurement
of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” ASU 2016-01 amends the guidance on the classification and measurement of
financial instruments. Some of the amendments in ASU 2016-01 include the following: 1) requires equity investments (except those
accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair
value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; 2) simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without
readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment; 3) requires public business entities
to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; and 4) requires an
entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting
from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value; among
others. For public business entities, the amendments of ASU 2016-01 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating
the effects of ASU 2016-01 on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

At
December 31, 2016, we accrued an IRS fine of $10,000 plus $492 of interest on account of a late filing of our 2013 IRS Form 5472
Tax Return. After appealing this fine to IRS Appeals Office, this fine of $10,492 was abated in full. We were further subjected
to a fine of $10,000 on account of late filing fee of our 2014 IRS form 5472 Tax Return which was also reduced by 50% due to timely
submission of subsequent year tax returns. Hence, we accrued $5,000 as a provision for late filing fee for 2014 IRS Form 5472
Tax Return.

On
October 9, 2013, the Company secured a two-month loan for GBP 75,000 (equivalent to $120,420) with the understanding that
the Company will issue 10,000 common restricted shares, issued to the lender on December 7, 2013, and also repay 35,000 GBP
(equivalent to $56,196) in lieu of interest. As the principal and interest was not paid back to the lender on time, the Company
compensated the lender with an additional 20,000 common restricted shares and for this the lender agreed to a five-month extension.
This stock compensation was issued to the lender also on December 12, 2013. Total accrued interest as at December 31, 2016
was $106,196. The Company also accrued $184,656 provision for potential damages due to the litigation in the Dubai Courts
as of December 31, 2016, which was included in “Accrued contingencies and penalties” in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheet. (See Note 8(B)).

On
June 5, 2017, a citizen of Republic of Thailand assumed the above principal loan amount of $120,420, accrued interest of $106,196
and accrued damages of $184,656 by way of a stock purchase and debt assumption agreement. Hence the Company’s liabilities
in respect of this loan were transferred to the acquiring individual. (See Note 5)
|

|
On
October 17, 2013, the Company secured a three-month bridge loan for 200,000 GBP (equivalent to $319,598) with the agreement
to repay the principal plus 5% per month interest on or before January 18, 2014. The note holder received, as a form of guarantee,
1,600,000 shares of Direct Security Integration Inc. and the note holder is currently trying to sell these shares. The shares
used as a form of guarantee formed part of the assets of our Company.

●
|
On
September 18, 2015, the Company and the note holder agreed to amend the previous terms of the agreement and both parties agreed
on the new terms whereby the company is now liable to pay $500,000 as full and final payment of the October 17, 2013 loan
principal, accrued interest, and all other related penalties. This repayment will not accrue any further interest or penalties.
As a result, the Company has reversed the excess accrued interest and monitoring fee payable amounting to $660,578 recognized
as a gain on settlement; leaving the principal loan balance of $319,598 and accrued interest of balance $180,402 as on September 30, 2015.

On
December 21, 2015, the company repaid first installment of the accrued interest amounting to $20,000; leaving the accrued
interest balance of $160,402 and principal loan balance of $319,598 as on December 31, 2015. The remaining installments
totaling to $480,000, as per the amended agreement, have not been paid as of September 30, 2017.

On
August 27, 2015, the Company secured a six-month non-convertible loan for $135,000 carrying an original issue discount of
$30,000. In addition, the company agreed to pay $5,000 to the note holder to cover their legal costs and the interest will
not be accrued on the outstanding principal balance unless an event of default occurs.
|
|
|
|

|
On
March 18, 2016, the Company entered into an exchange agreement with the same lender whereby original purchase agreement dated
August 27, 2015 was exchanged with the new agreement to extend the loan repayment term until April 17, 2016. The total exchange
price for $135,000 of principal of the Old Note was as follows:
|
|
●
|
$135,000
principal of New Note, and
|
|
●
|
an
issuance of 1,000,000 common shares to the lender as exchange shares.
|
Also,
in the new note, there was an addition of a conversion option that the lender has right at any time after the exchange date until
the outstanding balance has been paid in full, to convert all or any part of the outstanding balance into common shares of the
Company at a fixed conversion price of $0.025. There was no beneficial conversion feature as the conversion price was higher than
the current market value of the Company´s stock at that time. Since a conversion option was added to the note in the March
18, 2016 modification, this modification was accounted for as a debt extinguishment on that date and $25,200 was recognized as
loss on debt extinguishment.
On
April 28, 2016, St. George decided not to opt for converting the principal loan to common shares. Instead, on April 28, 2016,
the Company renegotiated the loan terms, further extending the repayment to July 1, 2016. The terms of this further extension
were a one-time 10% interest payment of $13,500 to be added to the principal of $135,000 and the issuance of 3,000,000 common
shares. The Company accounted for this further extension as a debt extinguishment of previous extension dated March 18, 2016 and
$58,200 was recognized as loss on debt extinguishment comprising of $13,500 of interest payment and $44,700 for issuance of 3,000,000
common shares of the Company valued at a fair value of $0.0149 on the date of new exchange.

On
October 9, 2013, the Company secured a two-month loan for GBP 75,000 (equivalent to $120,420) and issued 10,000 restricted
shares of common stock to the lender, The Able Foundation, on December 7, 2013, and also repay 35,000 GBP (equivalent to $56,196)
in lieu of interest. As the principal and interest was not paid back to the lender on time, the Company compensated the lender
with an additional 20,000 restricted shares of common stock in consideration for a for a five-month extension on the loan.
This stock compensation was issued to the lender also on December 12, 2013. At March 31, 2017, the Company was in litigation,
in the courts of Dubai, regarding the Able Foundation loan.
|
The
plaintiff, the Able Foundation, was requesting a settlement of $411,272, which was the $226,616 owed by the Company at that time,
and an additional $184,656 accrued in 2015 as a provision for potential damages (see Note 8(E)).
On
June 1, 2015, the Company (the defendant) retained the legal services of a Dubai based law firm called Al Safar & Partners.
At March 31, 2017, there was a judgment against the Company (the defendant) for the recovery of $411,272.
During
2015 and 2016, the Company’s Dubai lawyers, Al Safar & Partners, had appealed this judgment various times based on the
fact that they believed from a legal stand point that:
|
1)
|
the
Company (the defendant) has not been heard, which is a violation of the fundamental principle of law “
Audi Alteram
Partem
”.
|
|
2)
|
there
is no legal existence of Global Equity Partners Plc. in Dubai, as it is a Republic of Seychelles corporation; hence, the Courts
of Dubai have no jurisdiction in the matter.
|
All
prior appeals were rejected by the Dubai Courts, however a new appeal against the formal execution of this judgement was filed
in September 2016.
On June 5, 2017, a citizen of Republic
of Thailand assumed the above total amount of $411,272 by way of a stock purchase and debt assumption agreement; hence,
the Company’s liability and respective litigation in respect of this loan was transferred to the acquiring individual
(See Note 5).
Aside
from the above matter, we are not subject to any other pending or threatened litigation.
●
|
From
time to time, we may be involved in litigation or disputes relating to claims arising out of our operations in the normal
course of business. As of March 31, 2017, we were in dispute with a former client regarding certain payments that we made
on behalf of this former client. On June 5, 2017, the underlying deferred revenue liability was transferred to the acquiring
individual as part of the stock purchase and debt assumption agreement. (See Note 5)

On November 6, 2017, the Company renewed
its rent agreement for its head office at Dubai for a further period of one year amounting to a rental of $29,942
per annum (from November 2017 until October 2018). This agreement is further renewable for a period of one
year at 5% higher than the current rent.

Note
12 – Subsequent events
On
October 25, 2017, the note holder partially converted $21,600 of the April 13, 2017 note to the common shares of the
Company at a conversion price of $0.00108 per share. This conversion price was less than the agreed fixed price of $0.012,
due to the note entering into temporary default. As a result of this conversion, the Company issued 20,000,000 common shares
to Mammoth Corporation and $38,220 was recognized as a loss on conversion of this note based on the 0.0021 per share fair
value of the 18,200,000 excess common shares issued. See Note 8 (F)
