Going Concern

These financial statements have been prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable for a going concern, which assumes that the Company will realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the ordinary course of business. Since inception, the Company has incurred net losses of $5,732,849 and has net working capital deficit of $1,393,153 at March 31, 2021. Management has concluded that due to the conditions described above, there is substantial doubt about the entities ability to continue as a going concern through May 17, 2022. We have evaluated the significance of the conditions in relation to our ability to meet our obligations and believe that our current cash balance along with our current operations will not provide sufficient capital to continue operation through 2021. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon achieving sales growth, management of operating expenses and ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and pay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due, and upon profitable operations.

Our majority shareholder has advised us not to depend solely on them for financing. We have increased our efforts to raise additional capital through equity or debt financings from other sources. However, we cannot be certain that such capital (from our shareholders or third parties) will be available to us or whether such capital will be available on terms that are acceptable to us. Any such financing likely would be dilutive to existing stockholders and could result in significant financial operating covenants that would negatively impact our business. If we are unable to raise sufficient additional capital on acceptable terms, we will have insufficient funds to operate our business or pursue our planned growth.

These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.

Note 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and additional information as contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed on March 22, 2021. Results of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021. The other information in these consolidated financial statements is unaudited but, in the opinion of management, reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods covered. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless disclosed otherwise.

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of the Group include the financial statements of GigWorld Inc. and its subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

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 revenues, cost and expenses in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Group’s consolidated financial statements include revenue recognition, the useful lives and impairment of property and equipment, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Foreign currency risk

Because of its foreign operations, the Company holds cash in non-US dollars. As of March 31, 2021, cash and cash equivalents of the Group includes, on an as converted basis to US dollars, $21,492 and $122,306 in Hong Kong Dollars (“HK$”) and Singapore Dollars (“S$”), respectively. As of December 31, 2020, cash and cash equivalents of the Group include, on an as converted basis to US dollars, $24,448, and $122,671, in Hong Kong Dollars (“HK$”), and Singapore Dollars (“S$”), respectively.

Concentrations

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Group to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash. Although the cash at each particular bank in the United States is insured up to $250,000 by Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the Group exposes to risk due to its concentration of cash in foreign countries. The Group places its cash with financial institutions with high-credit ratings and quality.

Income taxes

Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant tax authorities. Deferred income taxes are recognized when temporary differences exist between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Net operating loss carry forwards and credits are applied using enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more-likely-than-not that a portion of or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are individually classified as non-current based on their characteristics.

The impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return is recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant tax authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. Interest and penalties on income taxes will be classified as a component of the provisions for income taxes. The Group did not recognize any income tax due to uncertain tax position or incur any interest and penalties related to potential underpaid income tax expenses for the period ended March 31, 2021 or 2020, respectively.

Foreign currency translation

Items included in the financial statements of each entity in the group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“functional currency”).

The functional and reporting currency of the Company is the United States dollar (“U.S. dollar”). The financial records of the Company’s subsidiaries located in Singapore and Hong Kong are maintained in their local currencies, the Singapore Dollar (S$) and Hong Kong Dollar (HK$), which are also the functional currencies of these entities.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency during the year are converted into functional currency at the applicable rates of exchange prevailing when the transactions occurred. Transaction gains and losses are recognized in the statement of operations.

The Company’s entities with functional currency of Hong Kong Dollar and Singapore Dollar, translate their operating results and financial positions into the U.S. dollar, the Company’s reporting currency. Assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rates in effect on the balance sheet date. Revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translated using the average rate for the year. Translation adjustments are reported as cumulative translation adjustments and are shown as a separate component of comprehensive income (loss).

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recorded other comprehensive income from translation gain of $63,278 in the consolidated financial statements. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded other comprehensive income from translation gain of $169,540 in the consolidated financial statements.

Comprehensive income (loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) includes gains (losses) from foreign currency translation adjustments. Comprehensive income (loss) is reported in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Loss per share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.

The Company's convertible preferred shares are not participating securities and have no voting rights until converted to common stock. As of March 31, 2021, no shares of preferred stock are eligible for conversion into voting common stock.

As of March 31, 2021, there are no potentially dilutive securities that were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS.

Recent accounting pronouncements

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Accrued expenses and other current liabilities consisted of the following:

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain matters discussed herein are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q involve risks and uncertainties, including statements as to:

1. our future operating results;

2. our business prospects;

3. any contractual arrangements and relationships with third parties;

4. the dependence of our future success on the general economy;

5. any possible financings; and

6. the adequacy of our cash resources and working capital.

These forward-looking statements can generally be identified as such because the context of the statement will include words such as we “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “estimate” or words of similar meaning. Similarly, statements that describe our future plans, objectives or goals are also forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties which are described in close proximity to such statements and which could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated as of the date of filing of this Form 10-Q. Shareholders, potential investors and other readers are urged to consider these factors in evaluating the forward-looking statements and are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements included herein are only made as of the date of filing of this Form 10-Q, and we undertake no obligation to publicly update such forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.

This discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

The coronavirus or other adverse public health developments could have a material and adverse effect on our business operations, financial condition and results of operations

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) was first identified in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, and has since spread to a number of other countries, including the United States. The COVID-19 pandemic’s far-reaching impact on the global economy could negatively affect various aspects of our business. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may impact our business will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

The COVID-19 pandemic may adversely impact our potential to expand our business activities. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted, and may continue to impact, the global supply of certain goods and services in ways that may impact the sale of products to consumers that we, or companies we may partner with, will attempt to make. The COVID-19 pandemic may prevent us from pursuing otherwise attractive opportunities.

In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic could directly impact the ability of our management and service providers to continue to work, and our ability to conduct our operations in a prompt and efficient manner. Our management has shifted to mostly working from home since March 2020, but this has had minimal impact on our operations to date. However our management’s ability to travel has been significantly limited, and limitations on the mobility of our management may slow down our ability to enter into new transactions and expand existing projects.

Background and business

GigWorld Inc., formerly known as HotApp Blockchain Inc. (the “Company” or “Group”), was incorporated in the State of Delaware on March 7, 2012. The Company’s initial business plan was to be a financial acquisition intermediary which would serve buyers and sellers for companies that are in highly fragmented industries. Our Board determined it was in the best interest of the Company to expand our business plan. On October 15, 2014, through a sale and purchase agreement, the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding stock of HotApps International Pte Ltd, subsequently known as HotApp BlockChain Pte. Ltd. (“HIP”) from Alset International Limited (“AIL”), formerly known as Singapore eDevelopment Limited. AIL is presently our largest stockholder. HIP owned certain intellectual property relating to instant messaging for portable devices (referred to herein as the “HotApp Application”).

The HotApp Application is a cross-platform mobile application that incorporates instant messaging and ecommerce. This application can be used on any mobile platform (i.e. IOS Online or Android). The HotApp Application offered messaging and calling services for HotApp Application users (text, photo, audio); however, the messaging and calling services we offered were terminated in 2017.

In December of 2017, the Company’s name was changed from “HotApp International, Inc.” to “HotApp Blockchain Inc.” to reflect the Board of Directors’ determination that it was in the best interest of the Company to expand its activities to include the development and commercialization of blockchain-related technologies. One area we are presently exploring is providing technology consulting for security token offerings (“STO”). Such services, which have not yet commenced commercially, would include STO white paper development, technology design and web development. We intend to outsource certain aspects of these projects to potential partners we have identified. We have no plans to launch our own token offering, but rather may develop technologies that could facilitate such offerings by other companies.

We believe that the increasing acceptance of distributed ledger technologies by potential customers will benefit us. The growth of network marketing throughout the world would impact our technologies that target that industry. In this rapidly evolving field, however, technology is advancing quickly and it is possible that our competitors could create products that gain market acceptance before our products.

In 2018, one of our main developments was a broadening of our scope of planned operations into a digital transformation technology business. As a digital transformation technology business, we are committed to enabling enterprises we work with to engage in a digital transformation by providing consulting, implementation and development services with various technologies, including instant messaging, blockchain, e-commerce, social media and payment solutions. We continue to advise businesses in network marketing and brands in block chain services and mobile collaboration.

We are focused on serving business-to-business (B2B) needs in e-commerce, collaboration and supply chains. We will help enterprises and community users to transform their business model with digital economy in a more effective manner. With our platform, users can discover and build their own communities and create valuable content. Enterprises can in turn enhance the user experience with premium content, all of which are facilitated by the transactions of every stakeholder via e-commerce.

Our technology platform consists of instant messaging systems, social media, e-commerce and payment systems, network marketing platforms and e-real estate. We are focused on business-to-business solutions such as enterprise messaging and workflow. We have successfully implemented several strategic platform developments for clients, including a mobile front-end solution for network marketing, a hotel e-commerce platform for Asia and a real estate agent management platform in China. We have also enhanced our technological capability from mobile application development to include blockchain architectural design, allowing mobile-friendly front-end solutions to integrate with software platforms. Our main digital assets at the present time are our applications. We continue to strengthen our technology architecture and develop Application Development Interface (API) for collaboration partners such as network marketing back end service providers. In addition we are continuing our development activities in blockchain preparing for future clients opportunities.

In January 2017, we entered into a revenue-sharing agreement with iGalen, a network marketing company selling health products (AIL, our majority stockholder, was a significant stockholder of iGalen). Under the agreement, we customized a secure app for iGalen’s communication and management system. The app enables mobile friendly backend access for iGalen Inc. members, among other functions. We are continuing to improve this secure app. In particular, we intend to utilize blockchain supply logistics to improve its functions (the original iGalen app did not utilize the latest distributed ledger technology). Once the improvements to this technology are completed, and initially utilized by iGalen, We intend to then attempt to sell similar services to other companies engaged in network marketing, as members of our management have a particular experience offering services to that industry and we believe our solutions are particularly suited to that industry’s needs. This app can be modified to meet the specific needs of any network marketing company. We believe that these technologies will, among other benefits, make it easier for network marketing companies to securely and effectively manage their systems of compensation. Our current plan is to commence sales of this technology in 2021.

In February of 2021, the Company’s name was changed to “GigWorld Inc.”

The direct selling industry has been adopting gig economy practices and relying heavily on digital marketing technology in team development and customer engagement. We have positioned ourselves to serve the growing demand in the transformation of the direct selling industry towards the gig economy.

The Group has relied significantly on AIL, our majority stockholder, as its principal sources of funding during the period. AIL has advised us not to depend solely on it for financing. We have increased our efforts to raise additional capital through equity or debt financings from other sources. However, we cannot be certain that such capital (from our stockholders or third parties) will be available to us or whether such capital will be available on terms that are acceptable to us. Any such, financing likely would be dilutive to existing stockholders and could result in significant financial operating covenants that would negatively impact our business. If we are unable to raise sufficient additional capital on acceptable terms, we will have insufficient funds to operate our business or pursue our planned growth.

Trends in the Market and Our Opportunity

The gig economy has become very appealing to those seeking flexibility in how and when they work. Technology has been a key driver along with reducing complexity to simplicity in how work is done and how the worker is compensated.

Technology has changed pretty much every aspect of a business, opening up work opportunities for those who want to work in the gig economy. This change has also helped employers increase profitability because they only have to only hire workers when they need them.

The share of independent workers at U.S. businesses stood at 16% last year, according to a report published Feb. 4 by the ADP Research Institute, which analyzed payroll data from more than 18 million workers.

That was a jump of 2.2 percentage points — or 15% — from 2010, according to ADP research published Feb 2020.

In total, there are 6 million more gig workers today than a decade ago. Half, or 3 million, of that growth reflects the shift of the labor force toward this type of work and away from more traditional employment.

Based upon the above trends, we believe significant opportunities exist for:

●

Enterprises in various industries are exploring gig economy opportunities in order to capitalize on the independent workers resources.

●

Technology has made the workforce digital, and jobs are changing to compensate. People who work as gig workers often don’t work at a company’s site and instead work at home, in coffee shops, and other places. They communicate with potential employers mostly via email, messaging apps and collaboration tools. These workers find potential gigs on job boards or through their networking efforts.

●

Industries such as Network Marketing and Hospitality and Franchising businesses are utilizing Mobile friendly solutions to reach out effectively to their marketing network on a global basis.

●

The application of Block Chain technology enable trusted transactions in the highly connected gig economy.

●

Payment services are also changing as a result of globalized gig economy workers earning their income through building a global network.

Our Plan of Operations and Growth Strategy

We believe that we have significant opportunities to further enhance the value we deliver to our users. We intend to pursue the following growth strategy:

●

focus in developing technologies enabling enterprise to capture the gig economy opportunities

●

partner with technology providers offer services for membership management, ecommerce, logistics and payment services in the gig economy marketplace

●

identify solutions and licensing opportunities in accelerating the digital transformation for direct selling companies

The Company had no revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.

Cost of revenue

Total cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 were $0.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of professional fees, and maintenance expenses of existing software framework. We expect our general and administrative expenses to maintain with moderate changes in line with business activities. Total general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 were $30,128 and $18,049, respectively, of which $0 and $(179) related to bad debt expense, respectively.

Other (Expense) / Income

For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we have incurred $(36,471) and $(92,658) in foreign exchange (loss), and $0 and $1 in interest income respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2021, we had cash of $154,737 and working capital deficit of $1,389,832.

We had a total stockholders’ deficit of $1,393,051 and an accumulated deficit of $5,732,849 as of March 31, 2021 compared with a total stockholders’ deficit of $1,389,730 and an accumulated deficit of $5,666,250 as of December 31, 2020. This difference is primarily due to the net effect of the net loss incurred and the gain in the foreign currency translation during the period.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recorded a net loss of $66,599.

We had net cash used in operating activities of $54,370 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. We had a positive change of $12,229 due to accounts payable and accrued expenses.

As of March 31, 2021, we do not have any fixed operating office lease agreements.

We will need to raise additional capital through equity or debt financings. However, we cannot be certain that such capital (from AIL or third party) will be available to us or whether such capital will be available on terms that are acceptable to us. Any such financing likely would be dilutive to existing shareholders and could result in significant financial and operating covenants that would negatively impact our business. If we are unable to raise sufficient additional capital on acceptable terms, we will have insufficient funds to operate our business and pursue our business plan.

Consistent with Section 144 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, it is our current policy that all transactions between us and our officers, directors and their affiliates will be entered into only if such transactions are approved by a majority of the disinterested directors, are approved by vote of the stockholders, or are fair to us as corporation as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified by the board. We will conduct an appropriate review of all related party transactions on an ongoing basis.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We believe that the estimates, assumptions and judgments involved in the accounting policies described below have the greatest potential impact on our financial statements, so we consider these to be our critical accounting policies. Because of the uncertainty inherent in these matters, actual results could differ from the estimates we use in applying the critical accounting policies. Certain of these critical accounting policies affect working capital account balances, including the policies for revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory reserves and income taxes. These policies require that we make estimates in the preparation of our financial statements as of a given date.

Within the context of these critical accounting policies, we are not currently aware of any reasonably likely events or circumstances that would result in materially different amounts being reported.

Revenue recognition

Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"), establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity's contracts to provide goods or services to customers. Under the new standard, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company adopted this new standard on January 1, 2018 under the modified retrospective method to all contracts not completed as of January 1, 2018 and the adoption did not have a material effect on our financial statements but we expanded our disclosures related to contracts with customers below.

Revenue is recognized when (or as) the Company transfers promised goods or services to its customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services, which occurs when (or as) the Company satisfies its contractual obligations and transfers over control of the promised goods or services to its customers. Costs to obtain or fulfill a contract are expensed as incurred.

The Company had no revenue for the period ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.

Contract assets and contract liabilities

Based on our contracts, we normally invoice customers once our performance obligations have been satisfied, at which point payment is unconditional. Accordingly, our contracts do not give rise to contract assets or liabilities under ASC 606. Accounts receivable are recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional.

Income taxes

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2021, the Company did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

In connection with the preparation of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was carried out by management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act)) as of March 31, 2021. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

During evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2021 conducted as part of our preparation of our interim financial statements, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operations of our disclosure controls and procedures and concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. Management determined that at March 31, 2021, we had a material weakness that relates to the relatively small number of employees, provided by AIL, who have bookkeeping and accounting functions and therefore prevents us from segregating duties within our internal control system.

Changes in the Company’s Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
