GLOBAL DIVERSIFIED MARKETING GROUP INC.

NOTES TO THE (UNAUDITED) CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2021 AND 2020

 

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 periods presented are reflected in these unaudited consolidated financial statements along with the expenses of the Company.

 

Before 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.

 

COVID-19

 

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) declared the COVID-19 outbreak to be a global pandemic. In addition to the devastating effects on human life, the pandemic is having a negative ripple effect on the global economy, leading to disruptions and volatility in the global financial markets. Most US states and many countries have issued policies intended to stop or slow the further spread of the disease.

 

COVID-19 and the U.S’s response to the pandemic are significantly affecting the economy. There are no comparable events that provide guidance as to the effect the COVID-19 pandemic may have, and, as a result, the ultimate effect of the pandemic is highly uncertain and subject to change. During the three months ended March 31, 2020 our business was adversely impacted by COVID-19. Although our business has grown significantly over historic levels since March 31, 2020, we can not determine if our business would have grown above current levels without the lingering impact of Covid-19.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The unaudited consolidated 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. The Company has adopted a December 31 year-end.

 

Management’s Representation of Interim Financial Statements

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company uses the same accounting policies in preparing quarterly and annual financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted as allowed by such rules and regulations, and management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These condensed consolidated financial statements include all of the adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary to a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying unaudited 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 March 31, 2021, 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.

 

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with the original maturities of nine months or less to be cash equivalents. On March 31 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company had $282,749 and $62,555 in cash, respectively.

 

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 a 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 is 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 three months ended March 31, 2021, and 2020 were $-0- and $-0-, respectively. The allowance for doubtful accounts on March 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, was $-0-.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory consists of snack food products and packaging supplies, 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 $59,782 and $6,682 during the three months ended March 31, 2021, and 2020, respectively.

 

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 are 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 in 2018 for the period as a C-corporation approximated $270,000. See Note 7. The Company’s income tax returns are open for examination for up to the past six 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.

 

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

 

Adoption of ASC 842 - On January 1, 2019, we adopted FASB Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 842, Leases, or ASC 842, which requires the recognition of the right-of-use assets and related operating and finance lease liabilities on the balance sheet. As permitted by ASC 842, we elected the adoption date of January 1, 2019, which is the date of initial application. As a result, the consolidated balance sheet prior to January 1, 2019, was not restated, continues to be reported under ASC Topic 840, Leases, or ASC 840, which did not require the recognition of operating lease liabilities on the balance sheet, and is not comparative. Under ASC 842, all leases are required to be recorded on the balance sheet and are classified as either operating leases or finance leases. The lease classification affects the expense recognition in the income statement. Operating lease charges are recorded entirely in operating expenses. Finance lease charges are split, where amortization of the right-of-use asset is recorded in operating expenses and an implied interest component is recorded in interest expense. The expense recognition for operating leases and finance leases under ASC 842 is substantially consistent with ASC 840. As a result, there is no significant difference in our results of operations presented in our consolidated income statement for each period presented.

 

We adopted ASC 842 using a modified retrospective approach for all leases existing on January 1, 2019. The adoption of ASC 842 had a substantial impact on our balance sheet. The most significant impact was the recognition of the operating lease right-of-use asset and the liability for operating leases. Accordingly, upon adoption, leases that were classified as operating leases under ASC 840 were classified as operating leases under ASC 842, and we recorded an adjustment of $44,602 to operating lease right-of-use assets and the related lease liability. The lease liability is based on the present value of the remaining minimum lease payments, determined under ASC 840, discounted using our secured incremental borrowing rate at the effective date of January 1, 2019, using the original lease term as the tenor. As permitted under ASC 842, we elected several practical expedients that permit us to not reassess (1) whether a contract is or contains a lease, (2) the classification of existing leases, and (3) whether previously capitalized costs continue to qualify as initial indirect costs. The application of the practical expedients did not have a significant impact on the measurement of the operating lease liability.

 

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

 

As of March 31, 2021, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $282,749 and an accumulated deficit of $(26,740,324). 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.

 

NOTE 3 – EQUITY

 

Common stock

 

The Company has 100,000,000 shares of $0.0001 par value common stock authorized. The Company had 13,897,327 and 13,132,518 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of March 2021, and December 31, 2020, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company issued a total of 765,309 shares as follows:

 

Services

 

249,681 shares were issued to a total of five consultants providing professional services to the Company. These shares were valued at $282,538.

 

25,000 shares each, or a total of 100,000 shares were awarded to four independent directors and were valued at $203,000.

 

All of these charges amounting to $485,503 were recorded as “professional fees” on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

 

Private placements of common stock

 

The Company raised $300,000 from the sale of 415,628 shares to five accredited investors.

 

Preferred Stock

 

The Company has 20,000,000 shares of $.0001 par value preferred stock authorized. On February 24, 2020, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation for a class of preferred stock designated Class A Super Voting Preferred Stock (“A Stock”). There are 1,000,000 shares of A Stock designated. Each share of such stock shall vote with the common stock and have 100,000 votes. A Stock has no conversion, dividend, or liquidation rights. Accordingly, the holders of A Stock will, by reason of their voting power, be able to control the affairs of the Company. The Company has issued 1,000 shares of A Stock to Paul Adler, the company’s Chief Executive Officer, and majority shareholder giving him effective voting control over the Registrant’s affairs for the foreseeable future.

 

As a result of the issuance of super-voting rights enabling him to vote 100,000,000 shares, Mr. Adler has effective voting control of approximately 99% of the Company. In conjunction with the issuance of these 1,000 preferred shares, the Company recorded stock compensation expense, related party of $26,020,400 during 2020.

 

NOTE 4 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 the Company incurred wages of $73,750 and $52,500 respectively, related to services provided to it by its executive officer. Additionally, during 2020, the Company’s CEO was awarded super-voting A Stock-see Note 3. Capital Stock.

 

 

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 three months ended March 31, 2021, and 2020 were $4,356 and $4,302 respectively.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

 

The information set forth in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, among others (i) increase in our revenue and profitability, (ii) prospective business opportunities and (iii) our strategy for financing our business. Forward-looking statements are statements other than historical information or statements of current condition. Some forward-looking statements may be identified by use of terms such as “believes”, “anticipates”, “intends” or “expects”. These forward-looking statements relate to our plans, liquidity, ability to complete financing, to enter into future agreements with companies, and plans to successfully expend our business operations and the sale of our products. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs.

 

Although we believe that our expectations with respect to the forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions within the bounds of our knowledge of our business and operations, in light of the risks and uncertainties inherent in all future projections, the inclusion of forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that our objectives or plans will be achieved. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report. Except to the extent required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, or other information contained herein, whether as a result of new information, future events, a change in events, conditions, circumstances, or assumptions underlying such statements, or otherwise. We caution you therefore that you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements as statements of historical fact or as guarantees or assurances of future performance.

 

Overview

 

Global Diversified Marketing Group, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on December 1, 2017, as a Delaware corporation under the name “Dense Forest Acquisition Corporation.” On November 26, 2018, the Company effected the acquisition of Global Diversified Holdings, Inc., a private New York snack and gourmet food company (GDHI), pursuant to which Company acquired the operations and business plan of GDHI, and GDHI became our wholly-owned subsidiary.

 

The Company is an early-stage global multi-line consumer packaged goods (“CPG”) company with branded product lines and is a food and snack manufacturer, marketer and distributor in the United States, Canada, and Europe. The Company is focused on developing and marketing products that appeal to consumers’ growing preference for healthy snack food and operates through snacks segments offering Italian Wafers, French Madeleines, Italian Croissants, Macaron Cookies, Wafer Pralines, and other wholesome snacks.

 

The Company intends 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.

 

Impact of COVID-19

 

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China, which has and is continuing to spread throughout China and other parts of the world, including the United States. On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern.” On January 31, 2020, U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Alex M. Azar II declared a public health emergency for the United States to aid the U.S. healthcare community in responding to COVID-19, and on March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak as a “pandemic”. During the three months ended March 31, 2020 our business was adversely impacted by COVID-19. Although our business has grown significantly over historic levels since March 31, 2020, we cannot determine if our business would have grown above current levels without the lingering impact of Covid-19.

 

 

Results of Operations

 

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 and 2020

 

Revenue and Cost of Sales

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2021 our revenues were $823,400 compared to $339,961 during the period ended March 31, 2020, an increase of $483,439, or an increase of approximately 142%. The increase is attributable to the addition of a significant big box retail customer, growth of our business with existing customers and a comparison to a prior year period adversely impacted by Covid-19.

 

Cost of sales was $488,853 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $171,858 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase in cost of sales is due to increased sales levels. The gross margin was $334,548 or approximately 41% percent of sales, compared to a gross profit margin of $168,103, or approximately 49% of sales during the ended March 31, 2020. We believe our sustainable, ongoing margins will be in the range of 40-45%.

 

Operating expenses

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2021 our operating expenses were $747,770 compared to $26,159,402 during the three months ended March 31, 2020. Both periods include charges for non-cash stock based compensation due to stock issuances for services and the granting of super-voting preferred stock to the Company’s CEO in 2020. These stock based charges amounted to $485,438 and $26,020,400 during the periods ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, respectively. Excluding these charges, operating expenses would have been $262,332 for the period ended March 31, 2021, and $139,002 for the period ended March 31, 2020. The primary reasons for the increase in operating expenses excluding stock based compensation is due to an increase of $53,100, an increase of approximately $12,000 in payroll as well as other general and administrative expenses associated with supporting higher levels of revenue.

 

Other Income (Expense)

 

Other expense was comprised solely of interest expense which amounted to $2,677 during the period ended March 31, 2021 compared to $10,483 during the same three month period ended March 31, 2020. The decrease in interest expenses is due to lower levels of factoring required due to the Company’s improved profitability.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of March 31, 2021 we had $282,749 in cash compared to $62,555 in cash as of March 31, 2020. Net cash used in operating activities increased to $172,575 in the 2021 period compared to $70,973 during the same period in 2020. The increase in cash used is due to a reduction in liabilities, net of new borrowings of approximately $68,000. Cash flows from investing activities increased to $398,034 in the period ended March 31, 2021 compared to $48,682 during the 2020 period. The increase is attributable to the private placement of 415,628 restricted common shares to five accredited investors for $300,000 in total proceeds.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for the twelve months following the date of these financial statements. On a consolidated basis, we have incurred significant operating losses since inception. 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. Our ability to continue our operations as a going concern, realize the carrying value of our assets, and discharge our liabilities in the normal course of business is dependent upon our ability to raise capital sufficient to fund our commitments and ongoing losses, and ultimately generate profitable operations. If we cannot obtain needed funds, we may be forced to reduce or cease our activities with consequent loss to investors. In addition, should we incur significant presently unforeseen expenses or delays, we may not be able to accomplish our goals. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. We continually evaluate the accounting policies and estimates used to prepare the financial statements. The estimates are based on historical experience and assumptions believed to be reasonable under current facts and circumstances. Actual amounts and results could differ from these estimates made by management. Certain accounting policies that require significant management estimates and are deemed critical to our results of operations or financial position. Our critical accounting estimates are more fully discussed in Note 2 to our unaudited financial statements contained herein.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

 

Not applicable because we are an emerging growth company.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our president and principal financial officer, who is directly involved in the day-to-day operations of the Company, as of March 31, 2021, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2021 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act were recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Act Commission’s rules and forms and that our disclosure controls are effectively designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

 

Our management, including our Chief Financial Officer, do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdown can occur because of simple error or mistake. In particular, many of our current processes rely upon manual reviews and processes to ensure that neither human error nor system weakness has resulted in erroneous reporting of financial data.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

During the period covered by this Quarterly Report, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any beneficial shareholder are an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to us.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors.
