Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of March 31, 2023 and for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. It is suggested that these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 17, 2023.

On November 4, 2022, the Company effected a reverse stock split in a ratio of 1 share of common stock for 12 issued shares of common stock. As a result of the reverse stock split, prior period shares and per share amounts appearing in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and all references in this Quarterly Report to our common stock, as well as amounts per share of our common stock, have been retroactively restated as if the reverse stock split occurred at the beginning of the period presented.

Going Concern and Management’s Liquidity Plans

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset amounts or the classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the company be unable to continue as a going concern.

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had cash and working capital of $2,389,882 and $361,192, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company incurred net losses of $2,695,148 and $2,272,101, respectively, and used cash in operating activities of $2,939,377 and $2,099,246, respectively. Further, as of March 31, 2023, $5,536,404 owed in connection with the Company’s convertible debt matures on February 21, 2024, and $293,110 represents the current portion of the Company’s loans payable which are payable on demand or for which payments are due within twelve months after March 31, 2023. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company funded its operations with proceeds from convertible debt financing of $5,000,000, proceeds of $185,000 from a loan, proceeds of $441,409 from draws on the Company’s equity line of credit, and $591,000 from the sale of common stock.

The Company’s operating needs include the planned costs to operate its business, including amounts required to fund working capital and capital expenditures. Based upon projected revenues and expenses, the Company believes that it may not have sufficient funds to operate for the next twelve months from the date these financial statements are made available. Since inception, the Company’s operations have primarily been funded through proceeds received from equity and debt financings. The Company believes it has access to capital resources and continues to evaluate additional financing opportunities. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain funds on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. There is also no assurance that the amount of funds the Company might raise will enable the Company to complete its development initiatives or attain profitable operations. The aforementioned factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Highly Inflationary Status in Argentina

The Company recorded gains on foreign currency transactions of $111,792 and $182,922 during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 respectively, as a result of the net monetary liability position of its Argentine subsidiaries.

Concentrations

The Company maintains cash with major financial institutions. Cash held in US bank institutions is currently insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000 at each institution. No similar insurance or guarantee exists for cash held in Argentina bank accounts. There were aggregate uninsured cash balances of $2,094,461and $115,338 at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, of which $193,318 and $115,338, respectively, represents cash held in Argentine bank accounts.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASC Topic 606 provides a single comprehensive model to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers, and gains and losses arising from transfers of non-financial assets including sales of property and equipment, real estate, and intangible assets.

The Company earns revenues from the sale of real estate lots, as well as hospitality, food & beverage, other related services, and from the sale of clothing and accessories. The Company recognizes revenue when goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration which it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In determining when and how revenue is recognized from contracts with customers, the Company performs the following five-step analysis: (i) identification of contract with customer; (ii) determination of performance obligations; (iii) measurement of the transaction price; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation.

The following table summarizes the revenue recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations:

SCHEDULE OF DISAGGREGATION OF REVENUE

(unaudited)

Revenue from the sale of food, wine, agricultural products, clothes and accessories is recorded when the customer obtains control of the goods purchased. Revenues from hospitality and other services are recognized as earned at the point in time that the related service is rendered, and the performance obligation has been satisfied. Revenues from gift card sales are recognized when the card is redeemed by the customer. The Company does not adjust revenue for the portion of gift card values that is not expected to be redeemed (“breakage”) due to the lack of historical data. Revenue from real estate lot sales is recorded when the lot is deeded, and legal ownership of the lot is transferred to the customer.

The timing of the Company’s revenue recognition may differ from the timing of payment by its customers. A receivable is recorded when revenue is recognized prior to payment and the Company has an unconditional right to payment. Alternatively, when payment precedes the provision of the related services, the Company records deferred revenue until the performance obligations are satisfied. Deferred revenues associated with real estate lot sale deposits are recognized as revenues (along with any outstanding balance) when the lot sale closes, and the deed is provided to the purchaser. Other deferred revenues primarily consist of deposits accepted by the Company in connection with agreements to sell barrels of wine, advance deposits received for grapes and other agricultural products, and hotel deposits. Wine barrel and agricultural product advance deposits are recognized as revenues (along with any outstanding balance) when the product is shipped to the purchaser. Hotel deposits are recognized as revenue upon occupancy of rooms, or the provision of services.

Contracts related to the sale of wine, agricultural products and hotel services have an original expected length of less than one year. The Company has elected not to disclose information about remaining performance obligations pertaining to contracts with an original expected length of one year or less, as permitted under the guidance.

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had deferred revenue of $1,466,652 and $1,373,906, respectively, consisting of $1,309,495 and $1,179,654, respectively, associated with real estate lot sale deposits, $82,157 and $44,252, respectively, related to hotel deposits and $75,000 and $150,000, respectively, related to prepaid management fees received.

Net Loss per Common Share

Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to GGH common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, plus the impact of common shares, if dilutive, resulting from the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants and the conversion of convertible instruments.

Sequencing Policy

Under ASC 815, the Company has adopted a sequencing policy, whereby, in the event that reclassification of contracts from equity to assets or liabilities is necessary pursuant to ASC 815 due to the Company’s inability to demonstrate it has sufficient authorized shares as a result of certain securities with a potentially indeterminable number of shares or the Company’s total potentially dilutive shares exceed the Company’s authorized share limit, shares will be allocated on the basis of the earliest issuance date of potentially dilutive instruments, with the earliest grants receiving the first allocation of shares. Pursuant to ASC 815, issuances of securities granted as compensation in a share-based payment arrangement are not subject to the sequencing policy.

Derivative Instruments

The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification.  For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instruments are initially recorded at their fair values and are then re-valued at each reporting date. with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statements of operations.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326)” and also issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance under ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04, ASU 2019-05 and ASU 2020-02 (collectively Topic 326). Topic 326 requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. This replaces the existing incurred loss model with an expected loss model and requires the use of forward-looking information to calculate credit loss estimates. The Company adopted the provisions of this ASU on January 1, 2023 using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost. Results for reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2022 are presented under Topic 326 while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP. The Company recorded an adjustment to accumulated deficit of $111,582 as of January 1, 2023 for the cumulative effect of adopting Topic 326.
