BUSINESS ORGANIZATION, NATURE OF OPERATIONS, RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES AND REVERSE STOCK SPLIT
Organization
and Operations
Through
its subsidiaries, Gaucho Group Holdings, Inc. (“Company”, “GGH”), a Delaware corporation that was incorporated
on April 5, 1999, currently invests in, develops, and operates a collection of luxury assets, including real estate development, fine
wines, and a boutique hotel in Argentina, as well as an e-commerce platform for the sale of high-end fashion and accessories.
As
wholly owned subsidiaries of GGH, InvestProperty Group, LLC (“IPG”) and Algodon Global Properties, LLC
(“AGP”) operate as holding companies that invest in, develop and operate global real estate and other lifestyle
businesses such as wine production and distribution, golf, tennis, and restaurants. GGH operates its properties through its
ALGODON® brand. IPG and AGP have invested in two ALGODON® brand projects located in Argentina. The first project is Algodon
Mansion, a Buenos Aires-based luxury boutique hotel property that opened in 2010 and is owned by the Company’s subsidiary, The
Algodon – Recoleta, SRL (“TAR”). The second project is the redevelopment, expansion and repositioning of a
Mendoza-based winery and golf resort property now called Algodon Wine Estates (“AWE”), the integration of adjoining wine
producing properties, and the subdivision of a portion of this property for residential development. GGH also holds a 79%
ownership interest in its subsidiary Gaucho Group, Inc. (“GGI”) which began operations in 2019 for the distribution and
sale of high-end luxury fashion and accessories through an e-commerce platform. On June 14, 2021, the Company formed a wholly-owned
subsidiary, Gaucho Ventures I – Las Vegas, LLC (“GVI”), to develop a project in Las Vegas, Nevada, that may
include opportunities in lodging, hospitality, retail, and gaming. On June 10, 2021, the Company announced the signing
of a Letter of Intent to create a new strategic partnership with retail, hospitality, lifestyle, entertainment, leisure and gaming
visionaries, Mark Advent, A. William (“Bill”) Allen, Timberline Real Estate Partners and Open Realty Properties for the
purpose of creating a Gaucho Group Holdings development and Gaucho Group Holdings brand extensions in Las Vegas, Nevada. On June 17, 2021,
Gaucho Group Holdings, Inc announced the signing of an agreement with LVH Holdings LLC to develop a project in Las Vegas, Nevada,
expanding the Gaucho brand in ways that could include opportunities in lodging, hospitality, retail, and gaming. As of September
30, 2021, the Company had made a total of $3.5 million in capital contributions and received 198 limited liability company interests
which represents 6.25% equity interest. The Company is currently renegotiating the agreement with LVH on the future capital
contribution plans described in Note 8 – Related Party Transactions. Subsequently, On November 10, 2021, the Company made an
additional capital contribution to LVH in the amount of $3.5 million and received an additional 198 Units.
Risks
and Uncertainties
In December 2019, the
2019 novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) surfaced in Wuhan, China. The World Health Organization declared the outbreak as a global
pandemic in March 2020. Recently, we temporarily closed our corporate office, as well as our hotel, restaurant, winery operations, and
golf and tennis operations. Further, some outsourced factories from which Gaucho ordered products had closed, borders for importing product
had been impacted and the Gaucho fulfillment center had also closed for several weeks. In response, we have reduced costs by negotiating
out of our New York lease, renegotiating with our vendors, and implementing salary reductions. We have also created an e-commerce platform
for our wine sales in response to the pandemic. On October 19, 2020, we re-opened our winery and golf and tennis facilities with COVID-19
measures implemented. Most recently, we reopened the Algodon Mansion as of November 11, 2020 with COVID-19 measures implemented. Additionally,
the construction on homes were temporarily halted from March to September but has since resumed. The Company is continuing to monitor
the outbreak of COVID-19 and the related business and travel restrictions, and changes to behavior intended to reduce its spread, and
the related impact on the Company’s operations, financial position and cash flows, as well as the impact on its employees. Due
to the rapid development and fluidity of this situation, the magnitude and duration of the pandemic and its impact on the Company’s
future operations and liquidity is uncertain as of the date of this report. While there could ultimately be a material impact on operations
and liquidity of the Company, at the time of issuance, the impact could not be determined. On November 1, 2021, the Argentinian Government
opened the border for fully vaccinated international travelers. After more than one year and a half, people have been able to travel
back to Argentina. Algodon’s San Rafael hotel is currently under renovation, and is working at 50% capacity. We anticipate the
hotel will fully reopen in December 2021. The San Rafael restaurant (Chez Gaston) is also currently closed for renovation. We anticipate
the restaurant to fully reopen in January 2022. Algodon’s Buenos Aires hotel is currently open and operational.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
There
have been no material changes to the significant accounting policies included in the audited consolidated financial statements as of
December 31, 2020 and for the years then ended, which were included the Annual Report filed on Form 10-K on April 12, 2021, except as
disclosed in this note.
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 September
30, 2021 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. The results of operations for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2021 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, 2020, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”) on April 12, 2021.
Liquidity
As
of September 30, 2021, the Company had cash and working capital of $2,836,500
and $4,314,355,
respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the
Company incurred a net loss of $1,526,939 and
used cash in operating activities of $5,661,611.
Subsequent to September 30, 2021, the Company raised gross proceeds
of $1,096,561
from the sale of its common stock and
net proceeds of $5,573,187
from the sale of convertible notes to
its investors. See Note 14 – Subsequent Events for details.
The
Company expects that its cash on hand plus additional cash from the sales of common stock under the Purchase Agreement (see Note 10 –
Temporary Equity and Stockholders’ Equity) will fund its operations for a least 12 months after the issuance date of these financial
statements.
Since
inception, the Company’s operations have primarily been funded through proceeds received in 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
Company’s operating needs include the planned costs to operate its business, including amounts required to fund working capital
and capital expenditures. The Company’s future capital requirements and the adequacy of its available funds will depend on many
factors, including the Company’s ability to successfully commercialize its products and services, competing technological and market
developments, and the need to enter into collaborations with other companies or acquire other companies or technologies to enhance or
complement its product and service offerings.
