Item 1.  Business
 
GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT OUR COMPANY
 
The Company’s website is accessible at www.gssww.com and www.fruitissimo.com.
 
A picture of the Blendtec S3 Smoothie Machine, as well as a description of the Fruitissimo® smoothies that are produced by the S3 Smoothie Machine, appear on the Company’s website, www.gssww.com and www.fruitissimo.com.
 
The Global Smoothie Supply, Inc. business model contemplates that the Company will generate revenue from three activities:
 
 
1)
The sale of smoothie blending equipment
 
2)
The sale of the puree to make the smoothies
 
3)
The sale of parts and service for the smoothie blending equipment
 
Global Smoothie Supply has worked with Blendtec (a division of K-Tec, Inc.) to develop a turnkey smoothie program designed for the convenience store distribution channel as well as other distribution channels.  Our agreement with Blendtec gives GSS the first right to purchase all of Blendtec’s S3 Smoothie Machine production.
 
The Blendtec S3 Smoothie Machine is a self-serve smoothie machine specially designed for GSS by Blendtec.  The Company couples the S3 Smoothie Machine with other equipment, including an ice machine that mounts to the top of the Blendtec S3 Machine, a backup water heater, a custom cabinet and a puree cart.   The Company’s contractual arrangement with Blendtec contemplates that the Company will purchase the S3 Smoothie Machine from Blendtec, for resale to purchasing accounts.
 
GSS purchases the balance of the components directly from its supplier network and the Company currently has no formal contractual arrangements with those suppliers.  The Company purchases proprietary formulas of the purees developed specially for use with the S3 Blender, directly from its supplier network, for resale to purchasing customers.
 
Additionally, GSS provides for a fee the installation and service for the smoothie machine and related equipment as an ongoing benefit to purchasing customers.
 
GSS began receiving revenues from this self-serve smoothie program with the sale of puree and blending equipment to Blockbuster in the 4th Quarter of 2008.  This sale came as the result of Blockbuster contacting GSS, in order to offer Self-Serve Smoothies through Blockbuster’s new in-store beverage bars in Reno, NV and Plano, TX.
 
On August 10, 2009, GSS entered into a formal testing agreement with 7-Eleven, Inc.  That agreement has expired; however, the parties have agreed verbally to extend the term of the agreement indefinitely and 7-Eleven is continuing to test the equipment in collaboration with the Company.
 
Blockbuster has purchased 8 S3 self-serve smoothie machines from the Company in conjunction with their internal marketing assessments. These machines continue to operate in these stores and Blockbuster continues to develop ongoing strategies, which may or may not include the Company’s self-serve smoothie program.

7-Eleven is evaluating 1 machine at its location at NW Hwy. and Hillcrest in Dallas, TX.  That evaluation is ongoing.
 
Scotties EXXON, Rockwall, Texas, has purchased the machine and is currently a customer for the GSS self-serve smoothie purees.
 
These three companies continue to be GSS customers.

Founded by David C. Tiller, Donald M. Roberts and Harry B. Ireland, GSS was formed with one goal: to become the dominant provider of fruit puree smoothie systems for the convenience retail and other appropriate distribution channels.  The Company’s self-serve systems are installed in turnkey fashion, are self-cleaning and require minimal attention and maintenance.
 
Presently, David Tiller, the Company’s CEO, beneficially owns 38,250,000 shares of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company.  Because of such ownership, investors in this offering will have limited control over matters requiring approval by GSS shareholders, including the election of directors.  Assuming that all 20,000,000 shares of this offering are sold, Mr. Tiller would retain 39.2% ownership in the Company’s Common Stock and the officers and directors of the Company would collectively control 77.8% of the Company’s Common Stock.

Our smoothie machine manufacturer, Blendtec, is a developer of automated dispensing/blending equipment.  The S3 Smoothie Machine, which is the self-serve smoothie machine designed for GSS by Blendtec, has received Electrical Testing Laboratories (ETL) and National Safety Federation (NSF) certification.
 
The machine is designed to accommodate easy-to-use modular “bag in box” cased product, the puree.  These puree formulations have been developed exclusively for GSS and are manufactured on our behalf.
 
The flavor line has the capacity for future expansion and modification, with an initial menu that includes multiple fruit-based choices and one coffee-based offering.  GSS plans to promote, install, and maintain the self-serve smoothie machines using a nationwide sales force, brokers, and a network of trained service technicians.
 
Management believes that an expansion strategy focusing on Convenience Stores and other retail distribution channels would add significant scale to our business model.  These other channels include, but are not limited to,  Fast-Food Restaurants, sports venues, university campuses and high schools, resorts and cruise ships, sports, racquetball, health and country clubs, business and hospital complexes, as well as high-traffic portals such as airports, sea ports, and train and bus stations.
 
SOURCES OF AND AVAILABILITY OF PRODUCTS

We are primarily dependent upon sole suppliers for our fruit and coffee puree and sole suppliers for the GSS blending equipment.

Sole supplier arrangements subject us to enhanced business risk.  If any sole supplier has operational problems or ceases providing product, equipment or distribution of products available to us, or if such blender equipment substantially malfunctions, our operations could be adversely affected.

We may face difficulties entering into new or modified arrangements with existing or new suppliers or new service providers.

As we expand our operations, we may have to seek new and/or additional suppliers and service providers or enter into new arrangements with existing ones, and we may encounter difficulties or be unable to negotiate pricing or other terms as favorable as those we initially enjoy, which could harm our business and operating results.

DEPENDENCE ON ONE OR A FEW MAJOR CUSTOMERS

Although our initial target markets are the convenience stores in the US, in addition to other relevant channels, early on we may be dependent on one or only a few customers.  To consolidate and contain costs, our initial strategy is to concentrate on just a few of the nation’s largest convenience store chains.
 
PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS

The Company currently has no registered patents. The Company has been issued a registered trademark for Fruitissimo®, which is the name attributed to the fruit smoothies produced by the S3 Smoothie Machine, and the Company has a trademark application pending for Fruitissimo®, The Real Fruit Smoothie™.  A picture of the Blendtec S3 Smoothie Machine, as well as a description of the Fruitissimo® smoothies that are produced by the S3 Smoothie Machine, appear on the Company’s website, www.gssww.com and www.fruitissimo.com.
 
GOVERNMENT AND INDUSTRY REGULATION
 
We are subject to various federal, state and local regulations.  Our products and equipment are subject to state and local regulation by health, sanitation, food and workplace safety and other agencies.  We may experience material difficulties or failures in obtaining the necessary licenses or approvals for new products and equipment, which could delay planned execution of our business plan.  Our operations are also subject to the U.S. Fair Labor Standards Act, which governs such matters as minimum wages, overtime and other working conditions, along with the U.S. Americans with Disabilities Act, family leave mandates and a variety of similar laws enacted by the states that govern these and other employment law matters.  In addition, federal proposals to introduce a system of mandated health insurance and flexible work time and other similar initiatives could, if implemented, adversely affect our operations.  In recent years, there has been an increased legislative, regulatory and consumer focus on nutrition and advertising practices in the food industry.  Establishments operating in C-stores and other approved channels, the quick-service, and fast-casual segments have been a particular focus.  As a result, we may in the future become subject to initiatives in the area of nutrition disclosure or advertising, such as requirements to provide information about the nutritional content of our products, which could increase our expenses.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES
 
Our Research & Development has been conducted with participation by the Company, Management at 7-Eleven, Inc., K-Tec, Inc. (Blendtec,) and others to assure our product offerings align most closely with the requirements of 7-Eleven and the needs of our initial target convenience store market.  However, this does not guarantee this chain will purchase the Company’s programs or products or participate in the future.  GSS entered into a testing agreement with 7-Eleven dated August 10, 2009, which is now expired. However, the parties have agreed verbally to extend the terms of the agreement indefinitely. We expect the testing to be completed by the end of the third quarter of 2010.
 
ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS
 
Company operations currently have no material effect on the environment.

INDUSTRY BACKGROUND
 
The market for self-serve smoothies is well-defined. There were 144,875 convenience stores in the United States in 2008 and, according to Convenience Store Decisions*, http://www.csdecisions.com/article/7125, a resource for the food services industry, these stores accounted for nearly $174 billion in in-store sales.  We believe this represents a great opportunity for the GSS self-serve smoothie program.
 
According to Mintel research*, the market for health-conscious products continues to grow rapidly. In 2006, smoothie makers raked in more than $2 billion from made-to-order and packaged smoothies, up more than 80 percent in the years 2001-2006.  Smoothies have quickly become part of the American landscape, with more than 4,000 retail locations reported in the U.S. in 2006, and with more than half of Mintel respondents in the 18 to 34 year-old range reporting that they had a smoothie in the last month. “Consumers are attracted to smoothies because they are seen as a healthier option to most sweets and on-the-go meals,” said David Lockwood, director of Mintel Reports. “Now that the smoothie market is a proven success, companies are being pushed to the next level — extreme differentiation. Similar to the coffee market, smoothie companies need to continue developing innovative flavors and additives to keep consumers engaged in the market, but also should consider expanding the menu as some chains have done with sandwiches or coffee.”
 
The smoothie industry’s new offerings are using emerging flavors, such as açaí and green tea, and hybrids of smoothies with other drink types. New nutrient “boosts” feed consumer need for evolving offerings as well. Smoothie companies have also remained on track with current food trends, utilizing “all-natural,” low-calorie and other key buzz properties to build sales.
 
“The flavor combinations and possibilities are endless with the smoothie market,” said Lockwood. “With functional foods and beverages having a strong marketplace advantage, smoothies are in position to dominate the healthy beverages category. Smoothies are seen as a pleasant health treat, and this will continue to take the category far.” In contrast with yogurt drinks, 39 percent of Mintel respondents agreed or strongly agreed that “smoothies are healthier than drinks made with yogurt.” Similarly, more than half of consumers agreed or strongly agreed that “smoothies taste better than yogurt drinks,” with yogurts getting only 15 percent.
 
*All facts and statistics presented in this Industry Background section are from Convenience Store Decisions and foodprocessing.com.  These reports and studies are publicly available without cost or at a nominal expense. GSS has not commissioned any of these reports.
 
On August 10, 2009, GSS entered into a formal testing agreement with 7-Eleven, Inc.  That agreement has expired; however, the parties have agreed verbally to extend the term of the agreement indefinitely and 7-Eleven is continuing to test the equipment in collaboration with the Company.
 
PRINCIPAL PRODUCTS AND THEIR MARKETS
 
The GSS idea is simple: to transform the fruit puree smoothie market by offering consumers a new approach -- a “grab-and-go” convenience store alternative.  Therefore, the GSS smoothie machine is currently tailored to the Convenience Store (C-store) environment.

Our manufacturer, Blendtec, is a developer of automated dispensing/blending equipment.  The self-serve smoothie machine designed for GSS by Blendtec has Electrical Testing Laboratories (ETL) and National Safety Federation (NSF) certification.
 
DISTRIBUTION METHODS
 
The machine is designed to accommodate easy-to-use modular “bag in box” cased product, the puree.  These puree formulations have been developed and co-branded exclusively for GSS, and are manufactured and distributed on our behalf.

The flavor line has the capacity for future expansion and modification, with an initial menu that includes multiple fruit-based choices and one coffee-based offering.  GSS hopes to promote, install, and maintain the machines using a nationwide sales force and a network of trained service technicians.
 
Management believes that an expansion strategy focusing on Convenience Stores and other channels would provide a great degree of quality and add significant scale to our business model.  We intend to follow a strategy of expanding store locations in existing markets.  We will grow our concept and brand through several channels, including C-stores and other retail channels.  These other channels would include Fast-Food Restaurants, sports venues, university campuses and high schools, resorts and cruise ships, sports, racquetball, health and country clubs, business and hospital complexes, as well as any high-traffic portals, like airports, sea ports, and train and bus stations.
 
STATUS OF ANY PUBLICLY ANNOUNCED PRODUCTS
 
None at this time
 
COMPETITION
 
To the best of the Company’s knowledge, there currently are no other companies offering self-service smoothies from smoothie machines that are both self-cleaning and self-sanitizing.  Consequently, the Company will effectively be establishing a new niche market for this smoothie machine and the related services offered by the Company.
 
Of the myriad companies offering smoothies throughout the U.S., including smoothie shops and other retail smoothie outlets, no one provider is dominant in the industry.  The Company will not seek to open any retail shops, but rather will seek to place its smoothie machines into businesses that would become dominant in their respective markets.  The Company considers cost, quality and convenience to be major factors in an individual’s selection of retail outlets from which to buy smoothies, and using those metrics, the Company’s S3 Smoothie Machine is anticipated to help the Company’s customers establish a dominant presence in their respective markets.

Item 3.  Legal Proceedings

We are not a party to any pending legal proceeding. We are not aware of any pending legal proceeding to which any of our officers, directors, or any beneficial holders of 5% or more of our voting securities are adverse to us or have a material interest adverse to us.
 
Item 4.  (Removed and Reserved)
 
 
PART II

Item 5.  Market for Registrant’s Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE BY OUR CURRENT STOCKHOLDERS MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR STOCK PRICE.
 
To date, we have had no trading volume in our Common Stock.  As long as this condition continues, the sale of a significant number of shares of Common Stock at any particular time could be difficult to achieve at the market prices prevailing immediately before such shares are offered. In addition, sales of substantial amounts of Common Stock, under Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 144 or otherwise, could adversely affect the prevailing market price of our Common Stock and could impair our ability to raise capital at that time through the sale of our securities.
 
The Company intends to have the Common Stock quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board. There is currently no established public trading market for our securities and an active trading market in our securities may not develop or, if developed, may not be sustained.  A broker-dealer potentially serving as market maker for the Company’s Common Stock must file an application with FINRA in order to be able to quote the shares of our Common Stock on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”). The Company is seeking out a market maker to have our Common Stock quoted on the OTCBB.  The OTCBB is not a listing service or exchange, but is instead a dealer quotation service for subscribing members.  There can be no assurance that the market maker’s application will be accepted by FINRA, nor can we accurately predict the time period that the application will require.  If for any reason our Common Stock is not quoted on the OTCBB or a public trading market does not otherwise develop, purchasers of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock may have difficulty selling their Common Stock should they desire to do so.  No market makers have committed to becoming market makers for our Common Stock at this time and none may do so.  
 
Companies trading on the OTCBB must be reporting issuers under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, and must be current in their reports under Section 13 of the Exchange Act, in order to maintain price quotation privileges on the OTCBB.  If we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTCBB.  As a result, the market liquidity for our securities could be adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.

Holders of Our Common Stock

Currently, we have seventy-one (71) holders of record of our common stock.
 
Holders of shares of our Common Stock do not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares, voting for the election of directors, can elect all of the directors to be elected, if they so choose, and, in such event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any of our directors.

Stock Option Grants

To date, we have not granted stock options.
 
Dividends

There are no restrictions in our articles of formation or bylaws that prevent us from declaring dividends.  However, the Company does not anticipate paying dividends on the Common Stock at any time in the foreseeable future.  The Company’s Board of Directors currently plans to retain earnings for the development and expansion of the Company’s business.  Any future determination as to the payment of dividends will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company and will depend on a number of factors including future earnings, capital requirements, financial conditions and such other factors as the Board of Directors may deem relevant.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believes,” “project,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe-harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are including this statement for purposes of complying with those safe-harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects on a consolidated basis include, but are not limited to: changes in economic conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, availability of capital, interest rates, competition, and generally accepted accounting principles. These risks and uncertainties should also be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Further information concerning our business, including additional factors that could materially affect our financial results, is included herein and in our other filings with the SEC.
 
OVERVIEW/BUSINESS OF ISSUER/ PLAN OF OPERATION
 
The Global Smoothie Supply, Inc. business model contemplates that the Company will generate revenue from three activities:
 
1) The sale of smoothie blending equipment
2) The sale of the puree to make the smoothies
3) The sale of parts and service for the smoothie blending equipment
 
Global Smoothie Supply has worked with Blendtec to develop a turnkey smoothie program designed for the convenience store channel as well as other channels.  Our agreement with Blendtec, among other things, gives GSS the first right to purchase all of Blendtec’s S3 Smoothie Blender production.
 
The Blendtec S3 Smoothie Machine is a self-serve smoothie machine specially designed for GSS by Blendtec.  The Company couples the S3 Smoothie Machine with other equipment, including an ice machine that mounts to the top of the  Blendtec S3 Machine, a backup water heater, a custom cabinet and a puree cart.   The Company’s contractual arrangement with Blendtec contemplates that the Company will purchase the S3 Smoothie Machine from Blendtec, for resale to purchasing accounts.
 
GSS purchases the balance of the components directly from its supplier network and the Company currently has no formal contractual arrangements with those suppliers.  The Company purchases proprietary formulas of the purees developed specially for use with the S3 Blender, directly from its supplier network, for resale to purchasing customers.
 
Additionally, GSS provides for a fee the installation and service for the smoothie machine and related equipment as an ongoing benefit to purchasing customers.
 
Our practice is to purchase inventory as close to customers’ time of need as possible.  This practice has allowed GSS to carry minimal inventory.
 
GSS began receiving revenues from this self-serve smoothie program with the sale of puree and machines to Blockbuster in the 4th Quarter of 2008.  These sales came as the result of Blockbuster contacting GSS, in an effort to offer Self-Serve Smoothies through Blockbuster’s new in-store beverage bars in Reno, NV and Plano, TX.  We received purchase orders from Blockbuster and/or its wholesaler, Continental Concession Supply, Inc. (“CCSI”) to fill these orders.  There are currently no written agreements covering the Company’s arrangement with Blockbuster.
 
Blockbuster has purchased 8 S3 self-serve smoothie machines from the Company in conjunction with their internal marketing assessments. These machines continue to operate in these stores and Blockbuster continues to develop ongoing strategies, which may or may not include the Company’s self-serve smoothie program.
 
7-Eleven is evaluating 1 machine at its location at N.W. Hwy. and Hillcrest in Dallas, TX.  That evaluation is ongoing.
 
Scotties EXXON, Rockwall, TX, has purchased the machine and is currently a customer for the GSS self-serve smoothie purees.

These three companies continue to be GSS customers.
 
Founded by David C. Tiller, Donald M. Roberts, and Harry B. Ireland, GSS was formed with one goal: to become the dominant provider of fruit puree smoothie systems for the convenience store (“C-store”) and other appropriate channels.  These self-serve systems are installed in turn-key fashion, are self-cleaning, and require minimal attention and maintenance.
 
The GSS idea is simple: to transform the fruit puree smoothie market by offering consumers a new approach - a “grab-and-go” convenience store alternative.  Therefore, the GSS smoothie machine is initially targeted to the convenience store environment.
 
Our manufacturer, Blendtec (Div. of K-Tec, Inc.) is a developer of automated dispensing/blending equipment. The self-serve smoothie machine designed for GSS by Blendtec has received Electrical Testing Laboratories (ETL) and National Safety Federation (NSF) certification.
 
The machine is designed to accommodate easy-to-use modular “bag in box” cased product, the puree. These puree formulations have been developed and co-branded exclusively for GSS and are manufactured on our behalf.
 
The flavor line has the capacity for future expansion and modification, with an initial menu that includes eleven fruit-based choices and one coffee-based offering.  GSS will promote, install, and maintain the machines using a nationwide sales force and a network of trained service technicians.
 
Management believes that an expansion strategy focusing on C-stores and other approved channels would provide a great degree of quality and add significant scale to our business model,.  We intend to follow a strategy of expanding store locations in existing markets.  We will grow our concept and brand through several channels, including C-stores and other retail channels.
  
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE 12 MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2010
 
The Company has limited revenue and significant expenses.
 
Revenue from puree sales were $16,230; cup sales of $218.00; machine sales of $475 with COGS of $17,307 and Gross Margin was ($383.00.)  During this time period the Company spent $169,440 in administrative and business development expense.  Payroll expenses were $975,000 for a restricted stock grant given to Tiller, Roberts, Ireland and Gohsman. Total expense was $1,144,440.  The Company had a net loss of ($1,145,234.)
 
At the end of the period, we had $33,696 in current assets made up of $23,667 in cash, $0 in Accounts Receivable, $216 in inventory, $9,813 prepaid insurance.
 
We had $1,313 in net fixed assets for $35,009 in total assets.
 
Accounts payable balance was $29,957.  $8,000 remained to be paid at some future date for a bonus authorized by the Board of Directors from a previous period and is shown as a payroll liability.  A liability of $9,600 remains for future warranty work in accordance with our warranty policy. Total Liabilities were $47,557.
 
Stockholders’ Equity was $12,548.  The restricted stock grant to Tiller, Roberts, Ireland, Gohsman increased paid in capital by $975,000. In the first quarter we sold 170,000 shares for $25,500 and in the fourth quarter we sold 157,900 shares for $39,475. This combined with the ($1,145,234) loss for the period, and combined with the $92,712 of starting equity for the period equaled our Stockholders’ Equity.
 
By converting Accounts Receivable to cash, and limiting our use of cash in Accounts Payable, and using the stock compensation vesting in lieu of spending cash, we used ($147,845) in cash.  Our financing activities provided $64,975 in stock sales however we had a net change in cash of ($82,870.)  This combined with our previous cash balance allowed us to end the period to with $23,667.

LIQUIDITY
 
We have cash assets at December 31, 2010, of $23,667.  We will be reliant upon private placements or public offerings of equity to fund any kind of operations.  We have secured no sources of loans. We had cash flow during the period ended December 31, 2010 of ($82,870) and revenue of $16,923.
 
SHORT TERM
 
On a short-term basis, we have generated revenues.  However, we will have insufficient revenue to satisfy current and recurring liabilities as we continue to build the business.  For short term needs we will be dependent on receipt, if any, of public offering or private placement proceeds.

 
9

 

Our assets consist of a checking account with a balance of $23,667, as of December 31, 2010, with total current assets of $33,696 including active inventory and prepaid expenses.
 
Our total liabilities were $47,557 at December 31, 2010.  Subsequently, we are incurring significant liabilities in connection with ongoing operations.
 
CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
We have only Common Stock as our capital resource.
 
As we continue to build markets for GSS products and programs, substantial capital will be needed to pay for sales and marketing, website development, development of a service network, equipment and product, plus usual start up and normal operating costs.
 
NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FINANCING
 
We do not have capital sufficient to meet our expected cash requirements; therefore, we will have to seek loans or equity placements.
 
No commitments to provide additional funds have been made by our management or other stockholders. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that any additional funds will be available to us to allow it to cover our expenses as they may be incurred.
 
We will need additional capital to support our proposed future development.  We have minimal revenues.  We have no committed source for additional funding.  No representation is made that any funds will be available when needed.  In the event funds cannot be raised when needed, we may not be able to carry out our business plan, may never achieve sales or income, and could fail in business as a result of these uncertainties.
 
For total start-up capital needs, we have budgeted $5,000,000 for our first 12 months of operations to build the requisite infrastructure to support our initial sales goals.  The funds allocated are intended to be used for the daily operation of the business, such as legal expenses, insurance, travel and entertainment, rent, office and training expenses.

LIMITED FINANCING
 
We may borrow money to finance our future operations.  Any such borrowing will increase the risk of loss to the investor in the event we are unsuccessful in repaying such loans.
 
We may issue additional shares to finance our future operations, although the Company does not currently contemplate doing so.  Any such issuance will reduce the control of previous investors and may result in substantial additional dilution to investors purchasing shares from this offering.
 
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
 
The Company maintains no off-balance sheet arrangements.
 
GOING CONCERN
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of its assets and the liquidation of its liabilities in the normal course of business.  However, the Company has generated minimal revenues, has accumulated a deficit of ($1,145,234) to date, and currently lacks the capital to pursue its business plan.  This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty.
 
We do not have any debt or long-term commitments. We need to raise approximately $5,000,000 to execute our initial sales goals.  We continue to seek financing, but there are no guarantees that we will be able to do so.
 
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
 
Our Research & Development has been conducted with participation by the Company, Management at 7-Eleven, Inc., K-Tec, Inc. (Blendtec,) and others to assure our product offerings align most closely with the requirements of 7-Eleven and the needs of our initial target convenience store market.  However, this does not guarantee this chain will purchase the Company’s programs or products or participate in the future. GSS entered into a testing agreement with 7-Eleven dated August 10, 2009, which is now expired. However, the parties have agreed verbally to extend the terms of the agreement indefinitely.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRACTICES

Accounting Basis

These financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less.

Earnings (Loss) per Share

The basic earnings (loss) per share are calculated by dividing the Company’s net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. The diluted earnings (loss) per share are calculated by dividing the Company’s net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted as of the first of the year for any potentially dilutive debt or equity.

Dividends

The Company has not adopted any policy regarding payment of dividends. No dividends have been paid during the period shown.

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 and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue and Cost Recognition

We recognize revenue at the time the products are shipped to customers or third parties.  We perform services under service contracts, revenue is recognized upon the completion of the services on specified machines. We follow ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition. ASC 605 requires that all amounts billed to customers related to shipping and handling should be classified as revenues. Our product costs include amounts for shipping and handling, therefore, we charge our customers shipping and handling fees at the time the products are shipped or when services are performed. The cost of shipping products to the customer is recognized at the time the products are shipped to the customer and our policy is to classify them as shipping expenses. The cost of shipping products to the customer is classified as shipping expense. Shipping expense is included in the Cost of Goods. In the 12 months period ending December 31, 2010 and 2009 respectively the Company incurred $0 and $1,830 of shipping costs as a part of our total Cost of Goods.

ASC 605 addresses certain criteria for revenue recognition. ASC 605 outlines the criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provides guidance for disclosures related to revenue recognition policies. Our revenue recognition policies comply with the guidance contained in ASC 605.

Advertising and Promotion Expense
 
Advertising and Promotion costs are expensed as incurred. These expenses are recorded in Advertising and Promotion expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the period ending December 31, 2010 and 2009 the Company had expensed $37,464 and $54,283 respectively.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost for inventory is based on an average cost method. Reserves for excess and obsolete inventories are based on an assessment of slow-moving and obsolete inventories, determined by historical usage and demand.  As of December 31, 2010 the company held $166 in puree, $50 in cups and $0 in machines for sale for a total of $216. As of 12/31/2009 the Company held $1,968 in puree $0 in cups and $7336 in machines for sale for a total of $9,303.

 
11

 

Depreciation

Depreciation used is double declining balance, 5 years depreciation, ½ year in year of acquisition, salvage value is none.

Accounts Receivable

As accounts receivable age beyond 90 days we reserve 50% of the amount owed as a doubtful account. When this receivable reaches over 120 days the remainder of the amount is completely written off. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009 respectively we have written off $270 and $0 for bad debt.

Allowance for Sales Returns

We do not have an allowance for Sales Returns. The company does not accept sales returns except for product mis-shipment, product was shipped beyond guidelines for product shelf life or manufacturing issues. In those situations, the Company replaces the product.

Valuation of Stock Grants

We value stock grants as of the date they are awarded and use the stock grant date as the measurement date for valuation purposes. On June 1, 2009 26,000,000 shares were awarded to Messrs. Tiller, Robertson, Ireland and Gohsman at a cost of $0.15 per share. In accordance with ASC 718 we have separated the measurement date and the issue date. Until December 2010 no additional shares were sold at a rate other than the $0.15 per share, in 4th quarter, 2010, some additional shares were sold at a rate of $0.25 per share.
 
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
The company has reviewed the Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Updates that have recently taken effect or will take effect in the near future. We do not believe any of these updates will have an effect or a material effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
 
None
  
AVAILABLE INFORMATION
 
We have filed a registration statement on Form S-1, of which this Prospectus is a part, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.  Upon completion of the registration, we will be subject to the informational requirements of the Exchange Act and, in accordance therewith, will file all requisite reports, such as Forms 10-K, 10-Q, and 8-K, proxy statements, under Section 14 of the Exchange Act and other information with the Commission.  Such reports, proxy statements, this registration statement and other information, may be inspected and copied at the public reference facilities maintained by the Commission at 100 F Street NE, Washington, D.C. 20549.  Copies of all materials may be obtained from the Public Reference Section of the Commission’s Washington, D.C. office at prescribed rates.  You may obtain information regarding the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330.  The Commission also maintains a Web site that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information regarding registrants that file electronically with the Commission at http://www.sec.gov.

Item 7a.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
A smaller reporting company is not required to disclose this item.

Market Information
 
The Company intends to have the Common Stock quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board upon completion of the offering.
 
There is currently no established public trading market for our securities and an active trading market in our securities may not develop or, if developed, may not be sustained.  A broker-dealer potentially serving as market maker for the Company’s Common Stock must file an application with FINRA in order to be able to quote the shares of our Common Stock on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”). The Company is seeking out a market maker to have our Common Stock quoted on the OTCBB.  The OTCBB is not a listing service or exchange, but is instead a dealer quotation service for subscribing members.  There can be no assurance that the market maker’s application will be accepted by FINRA, nor can we accurately predict the time period that the application will require.  If for any reason our Common Stock is not quoted on the OTCBB or a public trading market does not otherwise develop, purchasers of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock may have difficulty selling their Common Stock should they desire to do so.  No market makers have committed to becoming market makers for our Common Stock at this time and none may do so.
 
Companies trading on the OTCBB must be reporting issuers under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, and must be current in their reports under Section 13 of the Exchange Act, in order to maintain price quotation privileges on the OTCBB.  If we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTCBB.  As a result, the market liquidity for our securities could be adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Directors
 
Global Smoothie Supply, Inc.
 
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Global Smoothie Supply, Inc. as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conduct our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Global Smoothie Supply, Inc. as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 7 to the financial statements, the Company established a limited source of revenue and has had an accumulated deficit of $1,844,257, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 7.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
For 12 Months Ending 12/31/2010
 
 
NOTE 1.  GENERAL ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
 
Global Smoothie Supply, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated February 17, 2005, under the laws of the State of Texas.  The Company is engaged in the beverage business and sells beverage machines. The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31.
 
From its inception though the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008, due to limited operations, Global Smoothie Supply, Inc. elected to be taxed under Subchapter S of Chapter 1 of the Internal Revenue Code. In the first Quarter of 2009, Global Smoothie Supply, Inc. petitioned the IRS to be taxed as a C Corporation. This change was made to accommodate the needs of current and future shareholders.

For the period ended December 31, 2010, and December 31, 2009, the Company incurred net operating losses and, accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded. In addition, no benefit for income taxes has been recorded due to the uncertainty of the realization of any tax assets. At December 31, 2010, the Company had approximately $1,844,257 of federal net operating losses. The net operating loss carry-forwards, if not utilized, will begin to expire in 2017. The components of the Company’s deferred tax assets/liabilities are as follows:

For financial reporting purposes, the Company has incurred a loss in each period since its 2007. Based on the available objective evidence, including the Company’s history of losses, management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will not be fully realizable. Accordingly, the Company provided for a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

In the first Quarter of 2009, Global Smoothie Supply, Inc. petitioned the IRS to be taxed as a C Corporation.
 
From the Company’s inception in February 2005 to January 2009, the Company was not subject to federal income taxes since it was operating as Subchapter S Corporation. In the first Quarter of 2009, Global Smoothie Supply, Inc. petitioned the IRS to be taxed as a C Corporation and, as a result, became subject to corporate federal and state income taxes.
 
There is no tax or earnings per share impact due to an undistributed losses. As a Subchapter S corporation we had undistributed losses of $1,007 in 2008. Were these undistributed losses converted to Paid in Capital, our Paid in Capital would have been $3,488 and our Stockholders equity would not have changed. This amount is not considered to have a material impact to 2009 Stockholders Equity.
 
NOTE 4.  STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
 
Common Stock
 
At that time of inception 1,000 shares were authorized and all 1,000 shares were issued. On December 26, 2006, the number of authorized shares was increased to 50,000,000 and the Company issued a stock split of 20,000:1, with the 1,000 shares outstanding being exchanged for 20,000,000.  On 12/31/2008, there were 20,000,000 shares outstanding. On March 19, 2009, the number of authorized shares was increased to 100,000,000 and the Company issued a stock split of 5:2, with the 20,000,000 outstanding shares being exchanged for 50,000,000.  This March 19, 2009, stock split is being applied retroactively to the financial statements.

On June 1, 2009, the Board of Directors of the Company awarded a grant of stock to Messrs. Tiller, Roberts, Ireland, and Gohsman totaling 26,000,000 shares. One third of the shares will be relieved of restriction of sale on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th anniversary of the award, respectively. These shares are awarded immediately, but may be rescinded per the plan if certain conditions are not met.  The fair value of each share granted was estimated on the date of grant using external market based sales on or near the date of grant. In accordance with the guidance in ASC 505 “Equity” concerning unvested and forfeitable shares issued for services, the Company recognizes the equity issuance and corresponding expense as services are performed by the grantees.
 
As of December 31, 2010, the Company had one (1) share based compensation plan, which is described above.  The compensation cost that has been charged against income for that plan was $975,000 and $568,750 for the twelve months ending December 31, 2010 and 2009 respectively.

The aforementioned shares vote and carry a non-forfeitable right to dividends, should dividends be declared. Accordingly, they are classified as “participating securities” and are included in the weighted average outstanding shares in accordance with ASC 260-10-45-60A.
 
We value stock grants as of the date they are awarded and use the stock grant date as the measurement date for valuation purposes. In accordance with ASC 718 we have separated the measurement date and the issue date. Until December 2010 no additional shares were sold at a rate other than the $0.15 per share, in December some additional shares were sold at a rate of $0.25 per share.
 
Global Smoothie Supply, Inc. has begun the process of raising additional capital through the sales of registered shares. In 2010, the company sold 327,900 shares stock for $64,975.
 
On June 4, 2010 the Company amended and restated the Articles of Incorporation approving the authorization of 50,000,000 shares on non-par Preferred Stock. As of December 31, 2010,           0 shares have been issued.
 
Sales of registered no-par common shares are being pursued by the Company.
 
NOTE 5.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
The officers and directors of the Company are involved in other business activities and may, in the future, become involved in other business opportunities that become available.  They may face a conflict in selecting between the Company and other business interests. The Company has not formulated a policy for the resolution of such conflicts.
 
Any amounts in Accounts Payable to Related Parties are for reimbursable expenses including but not limited to travel expenses, postage, purchased office supplies, and miscellaneous expenses.
 
NOTE  6.  WARRANTY COSTS
 
The Company's financial statements reflect accruals for potential warranty claims based on the Company's best estimation. Estimated product warranty costs are accrued at the time products are sold. For machines sold in 2008, we provide a 3 year limited warranty on the machines we sell. Our manufacturer has taken the position of warranting the machines for the 1st year and Global Smoothie Supply covers the warranty for the 2nd and 3rd years. Machines sold during 2009 were warranted for 1 year and our manufacturer has continued taking the position of warranting the machines for the 1st year. No additional warranty liability was added in 2010.
 

 
21

 

Accordingly, we have reserved amounts for those potential warranty claims. As of 12/31/2008, those amounts stood at $9,600. To date, no warranty claims have been made against these amounts.
 
The need for additional reserves is not known at this time. We do not have sufficient historical knowledge as to determine whether our estimates are correct. As we develop additional experience, our liability may change and these reserves may be adjusted to meet the additional warranty costs.
 
NOTE 7.  GOING CONCERN
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in the notes to the financial statements, the Company has established a limited source of revenue.  This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Without realization of additional capital, it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty. As of December 31, 2010, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $1,844,257.
 
The Company’s activities to date have been supported by equity financing and initial preliminary sales.  Management continues to seek funding from its shareholders and other qualified investors to pursue its business plan.  In the alternative, the Company may be amenable to a sale, merger or other acquisition in the event such transaction is deemed by management to be in the best interests of the shareholders. 
 
NOTE 8.  THE EFFECT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
The company has reviewed the Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Updates that have recently taken effect or will take effect in the near future. We do not believe any of these updates will have an effect or a material effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.
 
NOTE 9.  FORM S-1/A REGISTRATION
 
On September 30, 2010 the Securities and Exchange Commission declared the Company’s Form S-1/A Registration Statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933 to be effective.
 
NOTE 10.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
 
Since January 1, 2009, there have been no transactions, and there are no currently proposed transactions, in which GSS was or is to be a participant with any related person to GSS or in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.
 
INDEMNIFICATION
 
Pursuant to the Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws of the Corporation, we may indemnify an officer or director who is made a party to any proceeding, including a lawsuit, because of his position, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in our best interest.  In certain cases, we may advance expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding.  To the extent that the officer or director is successful on the merits in any such proceeding as to which such person is to be indemnified, we must indemnify him against all expenses incurred, including attorney’s fees.  With respect to a derivative action, indemnity may be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defending the proceeding, and if the officer or director is judged liable, only by a court order.  The indemnification is intended to be to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Texas.
 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions above, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable.

In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by one of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by one of our directors, officers, or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and we will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
