PART I
| Item 1. | Business |
Global Diversified Marketing Group, Inc. (the “Company”) is a food and snack manufacturer, marketer and distributor through its subsidiary Global Diversified Holdings, Inc (“GDHI”) in the United States, Canada, and Europe. The Company operates through snack segments offering Italian Wafers, French Madeleines, Coconut Wafer Praline Bites, Italian Filled Croissants, and other gourmet snacks. The Company attends global food trade shows to seek out unique products and snacks. Once the Company identifies products that fit within its distribution channels, they will enter a non-exclusive manufacturing contract with a third party to produce products under the Company’s own trademarked brands for sale in the United States and/or global markets. Currently, the Company maintains five trademarks for its brands; each of which can and may cover numerous product lines with a variety of unique identifiers (known as SKU’s) offered under that brand name. The Company has non-contractual on-going relationships with many Fortune 500 companies including club and retail chain stores. The Company sells directly to these companies which purchase the items from the Company and distribute the items to their outlets for sale by the outlets. The Company also sells and distributes to DSD distributors and food-service distributors which in turn service vending machine channels as well as micro-markets and coffee pantries.
The Company sells its products throughout the United States and global markets to buyers which typically represent recognized large retail chain stores. The products are then distributed by the chains to their local outlets. The Company seeks out and develops snacks and gourmet foods to brand under its trademarks based on management’s beliefs as to consumer demand. The Company works closely with buyers to evaluate products with the intent to identify products that have likely customer demand.
The Company intends to continue to seek to develop additional gourmet foods and snack products under its trademarked brands and to expand the Company’s offering portfolio by identifying, producing and marketing new products. Management believes that the strategy of acquiring small brands regional brands and adding these to the Company’s national distribution can prove beneficial for the Company.
Vending Operations
In addition to placing its products with large retail specialty chains, the Company supplies products to vending channels throughout the United States through food service distributors. These vending machines are located in malls, service stations, and schools. The Company works with vending companies that have, in the aggregate, more than 100,000 machines nationwide. The Company supplies vending companies with products. The Company works directly with some vending companies and with others through its food service distributors. The broker pre-sells the products and the distributor services the accounts. When the distributor services the accounts, the distributor buys the product directly from the Company and pays on a net 10-day term. Vending machine sales represent approximately 6% to 9% of our revenues.
Products and Trademarked Brands
The Company currently has five trademark brands. Each brand encompasses numerous SKUs that are brought to the market from time to time. The Company produces its products primarily on an “on request” basis from its retail chain buyers for sale through such chains.
The Company’s trademark brands are listed on the left below with sample products for several of the trademarked brands itemized:
| Biscottelli - | 250g Wafers, | |
| Mini Wafers, Filled | ||
| Croissants, Macarons | ||
| Dolcibono | 250g Wafers | |
| BonBons de Paris | Plain French Madeleines | |
| Marble French | ||
| Madeleines | ||
| Coco Bliss | Coconut Wafer Bites | |
| Fruttata | Jams (R&D stage), Fruit Snacks | |
| (R&D) |
| 2 |
Retail Chain Buyers
The primary distribution of the Company’s products is through specialty retail chains. The Company works with the buying office that determines placement for the Company’s products. The retail will then distribute the products to its retail outlets.
Marketing
Management believes that the Company’s products appeal to a wide range of consumers, including most age brackets. The young snackers, classified as those being between the ages of 18-34, tend to consume more snacks than average adults but the gourmet foods reach the broader adult market. The senior market tends to reduce snacks and gourmet foods.
The Company anticipates that its marketing strategy will use the internet and social media including Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. The Company’s distribution channels consist of retailers, distributors, online e-commerce and vending companies. The Company’s marketing strategy is primarily targeted at the vendors and retail chain stores. The Company intends to utilize social media to create direct consumer interest in its products.
The Company anticipates utilizing the following opportunities to further their marketing program and to obtain information to adjust and modify, as needed, the marketing program.:
Networking. Networking is a low-cost but often effective means for the Company to generate partnerships and growth while bolstering personal commitments to the Company. Management will join wholesalers’ associations to network with other food manufacturers and distributors.
Trade Shows. The Company plans to attend trade shows and exhibitions related to the food manufacturing industry, such as SIAL, PLMA Amsterdam, Thaifex, Fancy Food, CIBUS, ISM, and ANUGA among others. Through attendance at conventions and trade shows, management remains knowledgeable and informed about advancements, trends and issues of concern in the market.
Direct Sales. The Company plans to employ a dedicated sales team to enact precise sales and promotional efforts in the near future.
Social Media and Food Blogging. The Company will manage its brands on social media sites, such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Twitter has proven an effective platform to conduct customer satisfaction surveys as well as solicit customer feedback on food products.
The rise in popularity of the food blogging community has given consumers a massive platform on which to share their opinion and make their voices heard. This has led to a rise in consumer concerns about food, with increasing emphasis being placed on healthy eating and organic produce. The Company will use food blogging websites to promote its products and highlight benefits that appeal to a new generation of socially-aware consumers.
Websites. A well-optimized website has been constructed, with proper site structure, page layout, and clear and easy navigation, along with targeted keywords embedded throughout the site to ensure prominent search engine placement and saturation. The Company’s websites www.360worldsnacks.com, www.biscottelli.com, www.gdmginc.com, www.dolcibono.com, www.fruttatasnacks.com are important marketing assets.
Product Activations
The Company will set up blind taste tests at neutral locations, in stores, malls and snack shops to let consumers sample products and to determine consumer preferences, and most importantly, find out the basis for those preferences. Is it the taste, the packaging, or the Company image? This will also serve as an opportunity for the Company to highlight its products directly to the consumer.
The Company anticipates that it will primarily target teens and adults up to age 65. The primary target market is “Young Snackers” that are 18-34 years old and tend to eat more snacks than other age groups. The trend of snacks between meals is especially strong with millennials and younger Americans. A quarter of American millennials, age 23 to 40, reported eating four or more times a day, compared to just 10% of Gen X and 9% of Baby Boomers. The Company believes that the senior age bracket (over 65) is not a strong snack market.
Competition
The snack food industry in the United States is very competitive, particularly in the savory and salty snack segment. In the United States, a study conducted by the Packaging Strategies reported that snacks account for 51% of all food sales, and 92% of adults in the US have snacked within the last 24 hours.
The Company has observed an increased demand for “healthy” snacks. In the United States, companies are finding success in the “snackable” fruit and vegetable category, such as grapes or baby carrots.
A challenge facing entrants in the snack and gourmet food market is the dominance of leading snack food producers, particularly the industry leader PepsiCo. Large producers may experience a high degree of brand and consumer loyalty and typically possess sufficient capital to invest in extensive advertising and promotions to obtain a greater market share. Furthermore, companies such as PepsiCo often benefit from higher profit margins when compared with small- to medium-sized operators, enabling them to lower their product prices and to engage in price-based competition with competitors. Multinational producers may also experience lower per-unit costs due to economies of scale and scope.

Trading Market
On January 7, 2020, the Company received its trading symbol “GDMK” from FINRA. Currently, there is no trading market for the securities of the Company. The Company intends to initially apply for admission to the quotation of its securities on the OTCQB or QX as soon as possible. There can be no assurance that the Company will qualify for the quotation of its securities on the OTCQB or QX.
Corporate History
The Company, formerly known as Dense Forest Acquisition Corporation, was incorporated in Delaware on December 1, 2017, and changed its name as part of a subsequent change in control. The Company filed a registration statement on Form 10 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on January 19, 2018, registering its common stock by which it became a public reporting company sixty days thereafter.
Dense Forest Acquisition Corporation filed a Form 8-K noticing the filing with the State of Delaware of an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation to change its name to Global Diversified Marketing Group, Inc. as part of a change in control of the Company. On June 13, 2018, the Company effected a change in control with the resignation of the then officers and directors, contribution back to the Company of 19,500,000 shares of the 20,000,000 outstanding shares of its common stock, and the appointment of new officers and directors. On June 14, 2018, the new management of the Company issued 12,500,000 shares of its common stock to Paul Adler, the then president of the Company.
On November 26, 2018, the Company effected the acquisition of Global Diversified Holdings, Inc., a private New York snack and gourmet food company, (“GDHI”) by the Company with the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for the outstanding shares of common stock of GDHI. GDHI became a wholly-owned operating subsidiary of the Company (the “Acquisition”). The transaction is accounted for as a combination of entities under common control since the date of the Acquisition.
Prior to the Acquisition, the Company had no business and no operations. Pursuant to the Acquisition, the Company acquired the operations and business plan of GDHI. The discussion hereinafter of the business and operations of the Company refer to the Company subsequent to the Acquisition of GDHI and all such discussions primarily report the operations of its now subsidiary unless otherwise so indicated.
Employees
The Company has only one executive officer and one staff employee.
Subsidiaries
The wholly-owned subsidiary, Global Diversified Holdings, Inc., is the Company’s only subsidiary.
| Item 2. | Properties |
The Company has its office headquarters at 4042 Austin Boulevard, Suite B, Island Park, New York 11558. The Company entered into a 60-month lease in October 2016 to rent 1,000 SF for $19,680 per year. The lease contains one five year renewal option with escalator clauses. The Company utilizes a 3PL warehouse in Carteret, New Jersey. The Company’s website is www.360worldsnacks.com. Management believes that its present facilities are adequate for its needs and that if it was required to do so, it could obtain similar facilities at a similar cost.
| Item 3. | Legal Proceedings |
There are no pending, threatened or actual legal proceedings in which the Company is a party.
| Item 4. | Mine Safety Disclosures. |
Not applicable.

PART II
| Item 5. | Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities |
| Item 7. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
Prior to the acquisition of GDHI as a subsidiary, the Company had no operations other than the administrative operations involved with the change in control. The information discussed herein below reflects the results of the Company’s subsidiary, GDHI, an operating company in the snack and gourmet food production, marketing and distribution industry.
Discussion of the Years Ended 2019 and 2018
Revenues and Cost of Sales
Sales
for the year ended December 31, 2019 were $1,317,092 compared to sales in 2018 of $1,161,996, an increase of $155,097, or approximately
13.3%. For the year ended December 31, 2019, gross profit was $371,002 or 28.2% compared to gross profit of $397,617 or 34.2%.
The increase in revenue is attributable to the addition of new customer and distribution channels. The decrease in gross profit
and gross profit as a percentage of sales (“gross margin”) is partially attributable to two rush orders in 2019 to
accommodate clients where we incurred approximately $27,000 in air shipment excess expense over ocean freight which
were above normal levels. Additionally, the Company’s gross margin from period to period will vary based upon the Company’s
product mix which ranges in margin, from 28% to 40%+. The Company believes that its normalized margin at higher
volumes, if they are achieved, will be between 30-33% of sales, although there can be no assurances that such goals will be achieved.
Historically, the Company has relied on a small number of customers to generate a large portion of its revenue. In 2019, four customers accounted for 91% of the Company revenues. In 2018, the same four customers accounted for 99% of the Company’s revenues. Loss of any one of these four customers would have a material adverse impact on the Company’s profitability and liquidity.
Operating expenses
Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2019, were $492,032 compared to $438,732 for the same period ended December 31, 2018, or an increase of $53,299, or an increase of approximately 12.1%. This increase in 2019 over 2018 levels is attributable to (1) an increase in payroll expense of $55,015 in 2019 due to an increase of $18,000 in salary to $198,000(plus associated payroll tax expense) for the Company’s president who became a payroll employee in 2019 when he whereas he was a consultant in 2018 (2) an increase of $60,755 in general and administrative expenses in 2019 over 2018 levels primarily due to a reclassification of storage and warehousing expense of approximately $40,000 compared to $-0- in 2018 and an increase in advertising and promotion of approximately $16,000; partially offset by (3) a decrease of $72,000 in legal and professional fees in 2019 compared to 2018 due to a decrease in legal and accounting fees incurred in 2018 to become a public company.
Other income and (expense)
Other income and (expense) is comprised of interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018. Interest expense increased to $29,955 in 2019 compared to $11,803 in 2018 due to higher levels of borrowings in 2019.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2019, and 2018, the Company had $22,291 and $21,515 in cash on hand, respectively. Net cash used in operating activities was $21,663 compared to $12,101 for the same period ended December 31, 2018. The increase in net cash used in operating activities is primarily attributable to an increase in operating losses of $98,066 in 2019 compared to the 2018 period; offset by a net increase in operating assets and liabilities of $88,503.
Cash flows from financing activities decreased to $22,292 for the period ended December 31, 2019, compared to $33,616 during the same period ended December 31, 2018. The decrease in net cash provided from financing activities is attributable to net issuances of common stock for $33,000 in the 2018 period compared to zero in the 2019 period, offset by an increase of $21,563 in loans payable.
The Company had lease payments for its office space of $19,923 in 2019 and $ 19,334 in 2018 and has continuing annual lease obligations of $20,517 in 2020 and $20,976 in 2021.
The Company has two short term asset-based credit lines. As of December 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, respectively, the balances outstanding were as follows:
| 12/31/2019 | 12/31/2018 | |||||||
| Blue Vine Credit Line | $ | 12,287 | $ | 59,125 | ||||
| LoanBuilder | 86,184 | 17,077 | ||||||
| $ | 98,471 | $ | 76,202 | |||||
These credit facilities for Blue Vine and LoanBuilder bear interest at the rates of 26.4% and 13%, respectively. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had approximately $63,000 in unused availability on these lines.
| 5 |
Seasonality
The Company’s business is subject to seasonality with reduced sales in the fourth quarter of the year. Typically, sales are lower in the mid to end of the fourth quarter because the Company’s clients ramp up towards November and then they assess their inventory positions at year-end prior to placing new orders for the following year.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements.
The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on its financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Critical Accounting Policies
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires making estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Going Concern
The Company’s independent auditor has indicated substantial doubt about the Company continuing as a going concern based on the Company’s accumulated deficit and accrued liabilities. Total current liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2019, were $466,779 including $332,059 in accounts payable and accrued expenses compared to total current liabilities for year ended December 31, 2018, were $434,111 including $357,909 accounts payable and accrued expenses. Loans payables used to finance the Company’s business were $98,471 during the period ended December 31, 2019, compared $76,202 during the period ended December 31, 2018
| Item 8. | Financial Statements and Supplementary Data |
The financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, and 2018 are attached included in this report beginning on page F-1.
| Item 9. | Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure |
There were no disagreements with the Company’s accountants on accounting or financial disclosure for the period covered by this report.
| Item 9A. | Controls and Procedures |
Pursuant to Rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rules. This evaluation was done as of the end of the fiscal year under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer (who is also the principal financial officer). There have been no significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date of the evaluation. Based upon that evaluation, the principal officer believes that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in gathering, analyzing and disclosing information needed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in its periodic reports is recorded, summarized and processed timely. The principal executive officer is directly involved in the day-to-day operations of the Company
Management’s Report of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company’s sole officer, its president, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, based on the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013). Based on this evaluation, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2018, based on those criteria. A control system can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues have been detected.
BF Borgers CPA PC., Lakewood, Colorado, the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company, has not issued an attestation report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as no such report is required for a smaller reporting company.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In the fourth fiscal quarter of 2018, the Company changed control and consequently, the Company’s internal controls over its financial reporting were transferred to new management. However, such control rested with the principal officer prior to the change of control and with the change of control, it continues to rest with the principal officer, the Company’s sole officer. Thus such change has not materially affected or is not reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART III
| Item 10. | Directors, Executive Officers, and Corporate Governance |
Officers and Directors
The Directors and Officers of the Company as of December 31, 2019, and the date this report is filed, are as follows:
| Name | Positions and Offices Held | |
| Paul Adler | Director, President, Secretary, Chief Financial Officer |
Paul Adler is the sole executive officer and director of the Company and its majority shareholder.
There are no agreements or understandings for the officer or director to resign at the request of another person and the above-named officer and director is not acting on behalf of nor will act at the direction of any other person.
Paul Adler
President, Secretary, Chief Financial Officer and sole director of the Company.
Mr. Adler has over a decade of experience in food manufacturing and marketing industries having served as a board member in two food manufacturing companies. He developed a strong desire to bring healthy beverages and snacks to the market which began after he saw there were no healthy alternatives. Mr. Adler spent the first decade of his career in the securities industry as a broker/dealer company in the OSJ Supervisory role where he supervised sixteen registered representatives and was involved in all aspects of investment banking including public offerings and private placements. In 2008, Mr. Adler retired from the securities industry and established Beverage Brands, a company offering a line of healthy RTD teas and MATE fusion tea. Beverage Brands’ product placement reached over 2500 supermarkets in the Northeast and South.
In 2012, Mr. Adler established Fruttata Brand, a line of freeze-dried healthy fruit snacks, under the corporate umbrella of Global Diversified Holdings, Inc., the subsidiary of the current parent Global Diversified Marketing Group Inc (OTC: GDMK). Since 2012, Mr. Adler had worked with Global Diversified Holdings to continue its development as a manufacturer, marketer, and supplier of unique products. Under Mr. Adler’s expertise, the company has accelerated its product line development and brand additions to its portfolio in the later part of 2016. The Company has been bootstrapping itself and able to have a significant growth spurt without any outside capital. Mr. Adler has extensive knowledge of day to day business operations ranging from Wall Street companies to running a private company and has been successful at establishing long-lasting business relationships throughout his career.
Directors
The Company is authorized to have at least one director but no more than five.
Director Independence
The Board of Directors has determined that it does not have any independent directors as that term is defined by NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5605(a)(2). In assessing the independence of the directors, the Board considers any transactions, relationships, and arrangements between our Company and our independent directors or their affiliated companies. This review is based primarily on responses of the directors to questions in a director and officer questionnaire regarding employment, business, familial, compensation and other relationships with our Company or our management.
Director Compensation
Directors do not receive any compensation for serving on the Board of Directors.
Committees and Terms
The Board of Directors has not established any committees.
| 7 |
Conflicts of Interest
There are no binding guidelines or procedures for resolving potential conflicts of interest. Failure by management to resolve conflicts of interest in favor of the Company could result in liability of management to the Company. However, any attempt by shareholders to enforce the liability of management to the Company would most likely be prohibitively expensive and time-consuming.
Corporate Governance
For reasons similar to those described above, the Company does not have a nominating nor audit committee of the board of directors. At this time, the Company has only one officer and one director. The Company promotes accountability for adherence to honest and ethical conduct; endeavors to provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Company files and will file with the SEC and in other public communications made by the Company; and strives to be compliant with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations. The Company has not formally adopted a written code of business conduct and ethics that govern the Company’s employees, officers and Directors as the Company is not required to do so.
Instead of an Audit Committee, the Company’s director is responsible for reviewing and making recommendations concerning the selection of outside auditors, reviewing the scope, results, and effectiveness of the annual audit of the Company’s financial statements and other services provided by the Company’s independent public accountants. The Company’s director reviews the Company’s internal accounting controls, practices, and policies.
Code of Ethics
The Company has not at this time adopted a Code of Ethics pursuant to rules described in Regulation S-K. The Company anticipates that it will adopt a code of ethics when either the number of directors or the number of employees increases development, execution, and enforcement of such a code would be by the same persons and only persons to whom such code applied

The Company’s operating subsidiary, GDHI, has a separate board of directors from the Company which consists of:

Reports of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the shareholders and the board of directors of Global Diversified Marketing Group, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Global Diversified Marketing Group, Inc. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company’s significant operating losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

GLOBAL DIVERSIFIED MARKETING GROUP INC. NOTES
TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2019
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Business
Global Diversified Marketing Group Inc. (the “Company”), formerly known as Dense Forest Acquisition Corporation, was incorporated in Delaware on December 1, 2017, and changed its name on June 13, 2018, as part of a change in control. As part of the change in control, its then officers and directors resigned and contributed back to the Company 19,500,000 shares of the 20,000,000 outstanding shares of its common stock, and appointed new officers and directors. On June 14, 2018, the new management of the Company issued 12.500,000 shares of its common stock to Paul Adler, the then president of the Company.
On November 26, 2018, the Company effected the acquisition of Global Diversified Holdings, Inc. (“GDHI”), a private New York company owned by the Company’s president, with the issuance of 200 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of GDHI. GDHI became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and its activity for the years 2019 and 2018 is reflected in these financial statements along with the expenses of the Company.
Prior to the acquisition of GDHI, the Company had no business and no operations. Pursuant to the acquisition, the Company acquired the operations and business plan of GDHI, which imports and sells snack food products. For accounting purposes, GDHI is considered to be the acquirer, and the equity is presented as if the business combination had occurred on January 1, 2017
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are presented in US dollars. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the presentation in the current year. The Company has adopted a December 31 year-end.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable from customers, accounts payable, and loans payable. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximates fair value due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Stock-Based Compensation
As of December 31, 2019, the Company has not issued any share-based payments to its employees. Under the modified prospective method the Company uses, stock compensation expense includes compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted, based on the grant-date estimated fair value.
| F-6 |
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with the original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. On December 31, 2019, and 2018, the Company had $22,291 and $21,515 of cash.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are generated from sales of snack food products to retail outlets throughout the United States. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and adjusts credit limits based on customer payment and current creditworthiness, as determined by review of their current credit information. The Company continuously monitors credit limits for its customers and maintains a provision for estimated credit losses based on its historical experience and any specific customer issues that have been identified. An allowance for doubtful; accounts are provided against accounts receivable for amounts management believes may be uncollectible. The Company historically has not had issues collecting on its accounts receivable from its customers. The Company factors certain of its receivables to improve its cash flow.
Bad debt expense for the years ended December 31, 2019, and 2018 was $0; the allowance for doubtful accounts at December 31, 2019, and 2018 was $0.
Inventory
Inventory consists of snack food products and packaging supplies, and are stated at the lower of cost or market.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets. Maintenance, repairs, and renewals that do not materially add to the value of the equipment nor appreciably prolong its useful life are charged to expense as incurred.
Revenue Recognition
Beginning January 1, 2018, the Company implemented ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Although the new revenue standard is expected to have an immaterial impact, if any, on our ongoing net income, we did implement changes to our processes related to revenue recognition and the control activities within them. These included the development of new policies based on the five-step model provided in the new revenue standard, ongoing contract review requirements, and gathering of information provided for disclosures.
The Company recognizes revenue from product sales or services rendered when control of the promised goods are transferred to our clients in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. To achieve this core principle we apply the following five steps: identify the contract with the client, identify the performance obligations in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract and recognize revenues when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation.
Advertising and Marketing Costs
The Company’s policy regarding advertising and marketing is to record the expense when incurred. The Company incurred advertising and marketing expenses of $19,422 and $3,424 during the years ended December 31, 2019, and 2018, respectively.
| F-7 |
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate carrying amounts of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances are present, the Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the total of the future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of those assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.
The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, with the consent of its stockholder, had elected to be taxed as an S Corporation under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Instead of paying federal corporate income taxes, the stockholder(s) of an S Corporation is taxed individually on their proportionate share of the Company’s taxable income. Therefore, prior to the business combination discussed above, the Company had made no provision for income taxes. Effective with the business combination, the wholly-owned subsidiary became a C-corporation, and the loss incurred for the period as a C-corporation approximated $409,000. See Note 7.
The Company’s income tax returns are open for examination for up to the past three years under the statute of limitations. There are no tax returns currently under examination.
Comprehensive Income
The Company has established standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components, and accumulated balances. When applicable, the Company would disclose this information on its Statement of Stockholders’ Equity. Comprehensive income comprises equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. The Company has not had any significant transactions that are required to be reported in other comprehensive income.
Basic Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic income (loss) per share has been calculated based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flow.
NOTE 2 GOING CONCERN
As of December 31, 2019, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $22,291 and an accumulated deficit of $174,718. Additionally, the Company had accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $357,909. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financials have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. If the Company is, in fact, unable to continue as a going concern, the shareholders may lose some or all of their investment in the Company.
| F-8 |
NOTE 3 – CAPITAL STOCK
The Company has 100,000,000 shares of $.0001 par value common stock authorized. The Company has 13,010,200 and 13,340,200 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2019, and 2018, respectively.
The Company has 20,000,000 shares of $.0001 par value preferred stock authorized. Preferred shares have not yet been issued.
NOTE 4 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

NOTE 5 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company entered into a 60-month lease agreement on October 1, 2016, to rent office space. The lease requires monthly payments of $1,600 for the first 24 months and after that increases by 3% each year, and contains one five year renewal option. Rental expenses under this lease for the years ended December 31, 2019, and 2018 was $28,896 and $19,334, respectively. The lease also required advance payment of $1,600 for the last month of rent as well as a $1,600 security deposit. Future minimum lease payments due under this operating lease, including renewal periods, are as follows:
| Year ended December 31, 2020 | 20,517 | |||

| Total minimum lease payments | $ | 41,493 |

| Total loans payable | $ | 98,471 | $ | 76,202 | ||||
NOTE 7 – INCOME TAXES
For the period ended December 31, 2019, the Company has incurred net losses and, therefore, has no tax liability. The net deferred tax asset generated by the loss carry-forward has been fully reserved. The net operating loss carry forward is approximately 409,000 on December 31, 2019.
The provision for Federal income tax consists of the following at December 31, 2019, and 2018:
