The OLB Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial
Statements
June 30, 2023
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 Cryptocurrency Mining Business segments.
Fintech Services:
The Company provides integrated financial and
transaction processing services (“Fintech Services”) to businesses throughout the United States. Through its eVance, Inc.
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.
CrowdPay.us, Inc. (“CrowdPay”) is
a Crowdfunding platform used to facilitate a capital raise anywhere from $1,000,000 -$50,000,000 of various types of securities
under Regulation D, Regulation Crowdfunding, Regulation A and the Securities Act of 1933. To date, the activities of this subsidiary have
been nominal.
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
to the overall business.
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 lending and transactional business leveraging the Company’s Cryptocurrency Business and Fintech Services business.
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”). The LLC’s owns the platform
of Black011.com and the network serving over 31,000 convenience stores (“Bodegas”) in and around New York and New Jersey
(refer to Note 7).
The Company also provides ecommerce development
and consulting services on a project-by-project basis.
Cryptocurrency Mining Business:
On July 23, 2021, the Company formed DMINT, Inc.,
a wholly-owned subsidiary (“DMINT”). The purpose of DMINT is to operate its business related to Bitcoin mining (“Cryptocurrency
Business”).
On July 28, 2021, the Company entered into an
exclusive agreement with Cai Energy Blockchain, Inc. (“CAI”) whereby CAI provided the Company with an exclusive natural gas
supply agreement (the “Services”). In exchange for the Services, the Company granted CAI options to purchase up to 767,918 shares
of Common Stock, $0.0001 par value (with a fair value of approximately $4.5 million on the date of grant) at an exercise price
of $0.0001 per share (the “CAI Options”). The natural gas was being used in connection with the Cryptocurrency Business
prior to opening the Selmer, Tennessee location.
On June 24, 2022 the Company formed DMINT Real Estate Holdings, Inc.,
a wholly-owned subsidiary of DMINT. The purpose of DMINT Real Estate Holdings, Inc is to buy and hold real estate related to DMINT.
On November 22, 2022, Mr. Ronny Yakov purchased
the CAI Options, in a privately negotiated transaction, for $700,000 using his personal funds.
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 six month period ending June 30, 2023 and not necessarily indicative
of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2023. 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, 2022.
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
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, eVance Inc, eVance Capital Inc, Securus365, Inc., CrowdPay.us, Inc., OmniSoft, Inc.,
OLBit, Inc., DMINT, Inc., DMINT Real Estate Holdings. The Company owns 80.01% of Cuentas SDI, LLC, which has been included in the consolidated
financial statements and the Company has recorded a noncontrolling interest for
the 19.99% interest that they do not own.
All significant intercompany transactions and
balances have been eliminated.
Revision for Correction of Immaterial Error
Subsequent to the initial issuance of the Company’s
March 31, 2022 financial statements, management discovered it did not record the accrual for dividends on its Series A Preferred Stock.
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.
In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”)
No. 99, “Materiality,” and SAB No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements
in Current Year Financial Statements,” the Company evaluated the error and determined that the related impact did not materially
misstate previously issued consolidated financial statements. Although the Company concluded that the misstatement was not
material to its previously issued consolidated financial statements, the Company has determined it is appropriate to adjust its previously
issued consolidated financial statements to correct for the error in the context of comparative financial statements. The following
are the relevant line items from the Company’s consolidated financial statements which illustrate the effect of the corrections
to the periods presented:

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 June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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 three operating segments as
of June 30, 2023, and two operating segments December 31, 2022. See Note 14, “Segment Information”.
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 FASB ASC 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 six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 does not
include warrants to acquire 8,563,127 and 8,563,127 shares of common stock, respectively, because of their anti-dilutive effect. The weighted
average number of common shares for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, does not include 1,252,460 and 774,586 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.
Cryptocurrency
The Company obtains cryptocurrency through our
mining activities, which is accounted for in connection with our revenue recognition policy. The cryptocurrency 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 cryptocurrencies is accounted for in accordance
with the first in first out method of accounting. We do not amortize our cryptocurrency but assess the value for impairment as further
discussed in our impairment policy.
Impairment of cryptocurrency assets is tested
annually or more frequently if events or circumstances change. At June 30, 2023, the Company had 1.01 Bitcoin and the fair value
of the Company’s digital assets was $31,306 based on the price of Bitcoin being $30,996.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost less
accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation of property and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the
remaining term of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
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.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
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.
Merchant Portfolios
Merchant portfolios are valued at fair value of
merchant customers on the date of acquisition and are amortized over their estimated useful lives (7 years).
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 June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
A summary of goodwill as of June 30, 2023, is as follows: |
December 31, 2022 | |
$ | 6,858,216 | |
Add: 80.01% acquisition of Cuentas SDI, LLC | |
| 1,281,673 | |
June 30, 2023 | |
$ | 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, management considers all accounts receivable
for our residual payments to be fully collectible and accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts is required; however, CrowdPay has
a recorded allowance of approximately $38,000 and $38,000 as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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.

$ | 17,158,894 | |
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.
Bitcoin mining
The Company has entered into digital asset mining
pools by executing contracts, as amended from time to time, with the mining pool operators to provide computing power to the mining pool.
The contracts are terminable at any time by either party and the Company’s enforceable right to compensation only begins when the
Company provides computing power to the mining pool operator. In exchange for providing computing power, the Company is entitled to a
fractional share of the fixed Bitcoin award the mining pool operator receives (less digital asset transaction fees to the mining pool
operator which are immaterial and are recorded as a deduction from revenue), for successfully adding a block to the Bitcoin blockchain.
The Company’s fractional share is based on the proportion of computing power the Company contributed to the mining pool operator
to the total computing power contributed by all mining pool participants in solving the current algorithm.
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, if any, is noncash consideration, which the Company measures
at fair value on the date received, which is not materially different from the fair value at contract inception or the time the Company
has earned the award from the 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 successfully places a block (by being the first
to solve an algorithm) and the Company receives confirmation of the consideration it will receive, 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 June 30, 2023, customer deposits were $65,753.
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, any fixed lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term 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.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On March 23, 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
an Exposure Draft “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Crypto Assets” (Subtopic 350-60), Accounting for and Disclosure
of Crypto Assets. Under the provisions of this Exposure Draft, an entity would be required to present crypto assets separately from other
intangible assets in the balance sheet, and measure crypto assets at fair value with changes recognized in net income each reporting period.
Upon effectiveness, an entity would reflect a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. Issuance of the
final standard is subject to public comment and deliberations.
NOTE 3 – LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company’s 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 June 30, 2023, the Company had cash of approximately $134,000, accounts
receivable of approximately $1,879,000 and bitcoin valued at $28,000, and accounts payable and accrued expenses of approximately $2,572,000.
To date, the Company has generated cash flows from issuances of equity and indebtedness.
Management believes that its current available
resources 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 5 – PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Long-lived assets, including property and equipment
assets to be held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
value of the assets may not be recoverable. Impairment losses are recognized if expected future cash flows of the related assets are less
than their carrying values. Measurement of an impairment loss is based on the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed
of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.
Property and equipment are first recorded at cost.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the various classes of assets.
Maintenance and repair expenses, as incurred,
are charged to expense. Betterments and renewals are capitalized in plant and equipment accounts. 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 as income.

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. Although the accounting is not yet complete, the results
of operations of the business acquired by the Company have been included in the consolidated statements of operations since the date
of acquisition. All amounts are considered provisional until a more thorough analysis of the acquisition can be completed. The consolidated
income statement for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, includes $357,436 of revenue and $348,812 of expenses of Cuentas SDI,
LLC from the date of acquisition (June 15, 2023) through June 30, 2023 for net income of $8,624.
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:

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

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,

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

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 contingent payment amount of $2,000,000.
However, on July 18, 2022, the Company notified the Seller of certain breaches of contract relating to, among other things, representations
made by Seller in the Agreement, for which it will seek a reduction or cancellation of the final payment and a potential reduction in
the overall purchase price. The Company has filed a claim for breach of contract against Seller and Seller has filed a breach of contract
counterclaim against the Company. The matter is currently in discovery, which is to be completed by the end of October and no date for
an arbitration or court hearing has been scheduled.
NOTE 16 – SEGMENTS
The Company applies ASC 280, Segment Reporting,
in determining its reportable segments. The Company has two reportable segments: Cryptocurrency 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 resources and for purposes of assessing such segments’ performance. The Company’s CODM is comprised of several
members of its executive management team who use revenue and expenses of our two reporting segments to assess the performance of the business
of our reportable operating segments.
The following tables detail revenue, operating
expenses, and assets for the Company’s reportable segments for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Company Overview and Description of Business
Overview
We are a FinTech company that
focuses on a suite of products in the merchant services and payment facilitator verticals that seek 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 our payment
processing model 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 into 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 lending and transactional business.
On July 23, 2021, we formed
DMINT, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary (“DMINT”) to operate in the cryptocurrency mining industry. DMINT has initiated the
first phase of the Bitcoin mining operation by placing purchase orders for data centers and ASIC-based Antminer S19J Pro mining computers
specifically configured to mine Bitcoin. The first lot of equipment is being used to establish a proof of concept before DMINT expands
the number of computers in operation. As of September 30, 2022, DMint has purchased 1,000 computers, of which all computers have been
delivered with 350 online and mining for Bitcoin and 400 computers are in process of being installed at the Company’s newly acquired
building in Selmer, Tennessee. It has six data centers located in Pennsylvania where it has mined 25 Bitcoin. It has entered into an exclusive
agreement whereby it has rights to all of the natural gas produced by 15 mines in Bradford, Pennsylvania. The natural gas is taken directly
from the well heads to generate electricity required to power the mining computers. As configured, it is expected that the computers purchased
will have a combined computing power of approximately 100 petahash per second. If the initial mining operation results are as anticipated,
DMINT plans to expand the number of mining computers every quarter, whereby it would aim to have the computing power of 500 petahash per
second by the end of 2022.
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.
However, on July 18, 2022, the Company notified the Seller of certain breaches of contract relating to, among other things, representations
made by Seller in the Agreement, for which it will seek a reduction or cancellation of the final payment and a potential reduction in
the overall purchase price.
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 purchased 100% of the equity of Crowd Ignition).
Crowd Ignition is a web-based
crowdfunding software system. Ronny Yakov, Chairman and CEO of the Company and John Herzog, a shareholder of the Company, owned 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 80.1% 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 and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2023 Compared
to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2022
For the three months ended June 30, 2023, we had total revenue of $8,344,012
compared to $8,372,435 of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of $58,721 or 0.8%. We earned $7,755,248 in transaction
and processing fees, $22,519 in merchant equipment rental and sales, $71,268 in other revenue from monthly recurring subscriptions, $137,541
of revenue from the Cryptocurrency Mining segment and $357,436 of revenue from the sale of digital products. For the three months ended
June 30, 2022, we earned $7,813,969 in transaction and processing fees, $18,174 in merchant equipment rental and sales, $332,326 in other
revenue from monthly recurring subscriptions and $207,966 of other revenue from the Cryptocurrency Mining segment. The decrease in
revenue was a result of a decrease in the amount of fees earned from merchant processing transactions compared to the prior year primarily
due to the removal and termination of service of approximately 700 merchants that were part of the Acquired Merchant Portfolio due to
their non-compliance with the credit card processing rules. The removal of the merchants is the subject of ongoing litigation discussed
in the notes to our financial statements above. Processing and servicing costs decreased by $1,281,466 or 19.2%, from $6,672,141 in the
prior period to $5,390,675 for the same reason.
Amortization and depreciation expense for the
three months ended June 30, 2023, was $899,831 compared to $903,353 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of $3,522 or
0.4%, thus fairly consistent between periods. We record amortization expense on our merchant portfolio, trademarks and natural gas purchase
rights. Depreciation expense for our Cryptocurrency Mining segment for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $799,716 compared to $702,494
for the three months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $97,222 or 13.8% due to depreciating more bitcoin mining equipment in the current
period.
Salary and wage expense for the three months ended
June 30, 2023, was $692,480 compared to $622,914 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $69,566 or 11.2%. Salary and
wage expenses have increased due to an increase in salary and bonuses paid to our officers during the 2023 period.
Professional fees for the three months ended June
30, 2023, were $219,782 compared to $294,747 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of $74,965 or 25.4%. Professional fees
consist mainly of audit and legal fees. The decrease in the current period is due to less litigation-related legal expenses during the
2023 period.
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June
30, 2023 was $973,264 compared to $1,007,908 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of $34,644 or 3.4%, remaining fairly
consistent over time.
For the three months ended June 30, 2023, we had total other income
of $42,193 from a realized gain of $48,683 on the sale of cryptocurrency and an unrealized loss on investment of $6,490, compared to other
income of $393,168 for the three months ended June 30, 2022. In the prior period we recognized a gain of $393,158 from the reversal of
a liability associated with a prior adverse judgement on appeal.
For the three months ended June 30, 2023, we had
$1,725 of net income attributed to the non-controlling interest of Cuentas SDI, LLC, due to the acquisition of 80.01% interest of the
entity during the current period.
Our net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2023, after the reduction
for minority interest, was $587,818 compared to $1,437,954 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. This was an increase in our net loss
of $850,136 for the reasons discussed above.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 Compared
to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2022
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we had total revenue of $14,966,601
compared to $17,158,894 of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of $2,118,679 or 13.1%. We earned $14,108,719 in
transaction and processing fees, $47,283 in merchant equipment rental and sales, $148,873 in other revenue from monthly recurring subscriptions,
$304,290 of other revenue from the Cryptocurrency Mining segment and $357,436 of revenue from the sale of digital products during the
six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $16,227,398 in transaction and processing fees, $35,342 in merchant equipment rental and sales,
$423,848 in other revenue from monthly recurring subscriptions and $472,306 of other revenue from the Cryptocurrency Mining segment
during the six months June 30, 2022. The decrease in revenue was a result of a decrease in the amount of fees earned from merchant processing
transactions compared to the prior year primarily due to the removal and termination of service of approximately 700 merchants that were
part of the Acquired Merchant Portfolio due to their non-compliance with the credit card processing rules. The removal of the merchants
is the subject of ongoing litigation discussed in the notes to our financial statements above. Processing and servicing costs decreased
by $2,462,169 or 19% from $12,930,278 in the prior period to $10,468,109 for the same reason.
Amortization and depreciation expense for the
six months ended June 30, 2023, was $1,799,662 compared to $1,901,943 for the six months ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of $102,943 or
5.4% due to fully depreciating certain assets in the prior year. We record amortization expense on our merchant portfolio, trademarks
and natural gas purchase rights. Depreciation expense for our cryptocurrency mining segment was $1,599,433 in the current period compared
to $1,594,250 in the prior period, an increase of $5,183 or 0.3%, thus fairly consistent between periods.
Salary and wage expense for the six months ended
June 30, 2023 was $1,382,832 compared to $1,156,773 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 an increase of $226,059 or 19.5%. Salary and
wage expenses have increased due to an increase in salary and bonuses paid to our officers during the 2023 period.
Professional fees for the six months ended June 30, 2023 were $589,126
compared to $619,154 for the six months ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of $30,028 or 4.9%. Professional fees consist mainly of audit
and legal fees and the decrease was due to less litigation-related legal expenses during the 2023 period.
General and administrative expenses (“G&A”)
for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $2,161,309 compared to $2,243,225 for the six months ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of $81,916
or 3.7%. Some of our larger G&A expenses included insurance policy expense of $216,000 as a result of the cost to insure the cryptocurrency
mining machines and the increase in the size of the Company’s business, travel of $160,000 from $179,000 in the same period of 2022,
marketing and promotion of $58,000 from $183,000 in the same period of 2022, contracted services of $229,000 from $439,000 in the same
period of 2022, utilities of $280,00 from $231,000 in the same period of 2022 and computer and internet expense of $350,000 from $277,000
in the same period of 2022.
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we had
total other expense of $171,078 compared to other income $393,179 for the six months ended June 30, 2022. In the current period we had
a loss of $279,242 from the sale of cryptocurrency, an unrealized loss on investment of $6,490, and other income of $114,654, compared
to other income of $393,179 for the six months ended June 30, 2022. In the prior period we recognized a gain of $393,158 from the reversal
of a liability associated with a prior adverse judgement on appeal.
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we had
$1,725 of net income attributed to the non-controlling interest of Cuentas SDI, LLC, due to the acquisition of 80.01% interest of the
entity during the current period.
Our net loss for the six months ended June 30,
2023, after the reduction for minority interest, was $3,203,223 compared to $2,893,550 for the six months ended June 30, 2022. We had
an increase in our net loss of $309,673 for the reasons discussed above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Changes in Cash Flows
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we received $1,002,249 of cash
from operating activities, which included our net loss of $3,204,948 plus our operating lease expense, net of repayment of $8,444 offset
by $3,399,095 for amortization and depreciation expense, $132,788 for stock-based compensation, $279,242 from the loss on sale of cryptocurrency
and net changes in operating assets and liabilities of $1,254,516.

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 second quarter ended June 30, 2023,
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 June 30, 2023, that have materially or are reasonably likely to materially
affect our internal controls over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

There are no 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.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
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.
