ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY
theglobe.com, inc. (the “Company,”
“theglobe,” “we” or “us”) was incorporated on May 1, 1995 and commenced operations on that
date. Originally, we were an online community with registered members and users in the United States and abroad. On September 29,
2008, we consummated the sale of the business and substantially all of the assets of our subsidiary, Tralliance Corporation (“Tralliance”),
to Tralliance Registry Management Company, LLC (“Tralliance Registry Management”), an entity controlled by Michael
S. Egan, our former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. As a result of and on the effective date of the sale of our Tralliance
business, which was our last remaining operating business, we became a “shell company,” as that term is defined in
Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, with no material operations or assets.
On December 20, 2017, Delfin Midstream LLC (“Delfin”)
entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement with certain of our stockholders for the purchase of a total of 312,825,952 shares
of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), representing approximately 70.9% of our Common Stock.
On December 31, 2017 (the “Closing Date”), Mr. Egan, Edward A. Cespedes and Robin S. Lebowitz resigned from their respective
positions as officers and directors of the Company. William “Rusty” Nichols was appointed the sole member of our Board
and our sole executive officer. Effective June 29, 2018, our Board appointed Mr. Frederick Jones as President, Chief Executive
Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Director of the Company, and Mr. Nichols resigned from his positions of President, Chief
Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Director, and any other directorships, offices or other positions with the Company.
As a shell company, our operating expenses have
consisted primarily of, and we expect them to continue to consist primarily of, customary public company expenses, including personnel,
accounting, financial reporting, legal, audit and other related public company costs.
As of December 31, 2018, as reflected in our
accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet, our current liabilities exceed our total assets. Additionally, we received a report from
our independent registered public accountants, relating to our December 31, 2018 audited financial statements, containing an explanatory
paragraph regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. We prefer to avoid filing for protection under the U.S. Bankruptcy
Code. However, unless we are successful in raising additional funds through the offering of debt or equity securities, we may not
be able to continue to operate as a going concern for any significant length of time in the future. Notwithstanding the above,
we currently intend to continue operating as a public company and making all the requisite filings under the Exchange Act.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of the Company and inactive subsidiaries, all of which have been dissolved as of December 31, 2018. All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Going forward beginning with the
first quarter of 2019 there will no longer be consolidated financial statements.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates and assumptions
relate primarily to valuations of accounts payable and accrued expenses.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic
on Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure (“ASC 820”) requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values of its
financial instruments. The carrying amount of certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable
and accrued expenses, are a reasonable estimate of their fair values at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, due to their
short maturities.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company estimates the fair value of each
stock option at the grant date by using the Black Scholes option-pricing model using the following assumptions: no dividend yield;
a risk-free interest rate based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of grant; an expected option life based on historical
and expected exercise behavior; and expected volatility based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock price,
over a time period that is consistent with the expected life of the option. The portion of the value that is ultimately expected
to vest is recognized as expense over the service period.
INCOME TAXES
On December 22, 2017 the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
(the “Tax Act”) was enacted in the United States. Among its many provisions, the Tax Act reduces the U.S. corporate
income tax rate from 35% to 21%; requires companies to pay a one-time transition tax on certain unrepatriated earnings of foreign
subsidiaries; eliminates the corporate alternative minimum tax (AMT); creates a new limitation on deductible interest expense;
and changes rules related to uses and limitations of net operating loss carry forwards created in tax years beginning after December
31, 2017. As a result of the Tax Act, the Company remeasured its deferred tax assets and liabilities to reflect the new statutory
federal rate of 21% which resulted in a net adjustment of approximately $20,845,000 to deferred income tax expense for the year
ended December 31, 2017. This adjustment was offset by a reduction in the valuation allowance.
The Company accounts for income taxes using
the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences
attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
their respective tax bases for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using
enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered
or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the consolidated results
of operations in the period that the tax change occurs. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred
tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
The Company reports basic and diluted net
income per common share in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Basic earnings per share is
computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares consist
of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants (using the treasury stock method).
Common equivalent shares are excluded from the calculation if their effect is anti-dilutive. There were no potentially
dilutive securities and common stock equivalents for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Management has determined that all recently
issued accounting pronouncements will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements or do not apply to
the Company’s operations.

LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATIONS
|
The accompanying consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America on
a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course
of business. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability
of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going
concern. However, for the reasons described below, Company management does not believe that cash on hand and cash flow
generated internally by the Company will be adequate to fund its limited overhead and other cash requirements over the next
twelve months. These reasons raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within
one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.
The Company received fundings of $50,000 each
in March 2016, November 2016 and March 2017 as well as $10,000 of $50,000 in November 2017 under Promissory Notes entered into
with the same entity that provided funding under the Revolving Loan Agreement (the “Promissory Notes”). In connection
with the Closing with Delfin Midstream LLC the Promissory Notes have been fully satisfied.
On December 20, 2017, Michael S. Egan, our former
Chief Executive Officer and majority stockholder, and certain of our other stockholders (each a “Seller” and collectively
the “Sellers”) entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Delfin. Pursuant
to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Delfin agreed to purchase from the Sellers an aggregate of 312,825,952 shares of our Common
Stock, representing approximately 70.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock. The closing of the purchase and
sale transaction occurred on December 31, 2017 (the “Closing Date”). In connection with the transaction, we terminated
the Master Services Agreement we had entered into with an entity controlled by Mr. Egan and satisfied all promissory notes and
other borrowings under the credit line with respect to indebtedness owed to related parties.
At December 31, 2018, the Company had a net
working capital deficit of approximately $332,000. This deficit included accrued expenses of approximately $21,000, accounts payable
of approximately $7,000 and approximately $309,000 in principal and accrued interest owed under the Promissory Note with Delfin,
the Company’s majority stockholder.
MANAGEMENT PLANS
Management
anticipates continued funding from Delfin over the next twelve months as it determines the direction of the Company.
In March 2018, the Company executed a Promissory
Note with Delfin, which was amended and restated in May 2018 to $150,000 and then again on November 2, 2018 to increase the principal
amount to up to $350,000 to pay certain accrued expenses, accounts payable, and to allow the Company to have some working capital.
Interest accrues on the unpaid principal balance at a rate of 8% per annum, and is payable on the maturity date, calculated on
a 365/366-day year, as applicable. The Promissory Note is due upon demand. It may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time prior
to the maturity date. The Company anticipates continued funding from Delfin over the next twelve months.
As of December 31, 2018, all of the Company’s
stock option plans have terminated and there are no shares for grant under these plans. The Company did not have any stock options
outstanding and exercisable as of December 31, 2018 or 2017.
No employee stock compensation expense was charged
to operating expenses during the years ended December 31, 2018 or 2017. At December 31, 2018, there was no unrecognized compensation
expense related to unvested stock options.

Because of the Company’s lack of earnings
history, the net deferred tax assets have been fully offset by a 100% valuation allowance. The valuation allowance for net deferred
tax assets was $1,100,000 and $1,021,000 as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The net change in the total valuation
allowance was $(79,000) and $(64,087,000) for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax
assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be
realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the
periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities,
projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.
At December 31, 2018, the Company had net operating
loss carryforwards available for U.S. tax purposes of approximately $307,000, which will carry forward indefinitely.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
|
In connection with the closing of the Tralliance
Purchase Transaction, the Company also entered into a Master Services Agreement (“Services Agreement”) with Dancing
Bear Investments, Inc. (“Dancing Bear”), an entity which is controlled by Mr. Egan. Under the terms of the Services
Agreement, for a fee of $20,000 per month ($240,000 per annum), Dancing Bear provides personnel and services to the Company so
as to enable it to continue its existence as a public company without the necessity of any full-time employees of its own. The
Services Agreement had an initial term of one year. In connection with the Delfin transaction, the Services Agreement has been
terminated. Services under the Services Agreement include, without limitation, accounting, assistance with financial reporting,
accounts payable, treasury/financial planning, record retention and secretarial and investor relations functions. Related party
transactions expense related to the Services Agreement of $240,000 was recognized in our Consolidated Statement of Operations during
the year ended December 31, 2017.
In March 2018, the Company executed a Promissory
Note with Delfin, which was amended and restated in May 2018 to $150,000 and then again on November 2, 2018 to increase the principal
amount to up to $350,000 to pay certain accrued expenses, accounts payable, and to allow the Company to have some working capital.
Interest accrues on the unpaid principal balance at a rate of 8% per annum, and is payable on the maturity date, calculated on
a 365/366-day year, as applicable. The Promissory Note is due upon demand. It may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time prior
to the maturity date. The Company expects continued funding from Delfin over the next twelve months.
Effective June 29, 2018, the Company’s
former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, William R. Nichols, resigned from all positions and Frederick Jones was appointed
to his positions. In connection with Mr. Nichols’ resignation, he was granted $60,000 cash as severance.
The Company’s
management evaluated subsequent events through the time of the filing of this report on Form 10-K. The Company’s management
is not aware of any significant events that occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date but prior to the filing of this report
that would have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
