The Company
We began operations in 1988, under the ownership and control of Ardell Mees, who provided installation services to grocery decor design companies. As our reputation for excellent workmanship has grown, we have expanded our operations to serve a larger geographic region. On January 4, 2001, we incorporated in North Dakota as ADM Enterprises, Inc. On May 9, 2006, the Company changed both its name to ADM Endeavors and its domicile to the state of Nevada. On July 1, 2008, the Company acquired all of the assets of ADM Enterprises, LLC, a sole proprietorship owned by Ardell and Tammera Mees, in exchange for 10,000,000 newly issued shares of our common stock. As a result, ADM Enterprises, LLC became a wholly owned subsidiary of Company. Even though the Company was incorporated on January 4, 2001, it had no operations until the share exchange agreement with ADM Enterprises, LLC on July 1, 2008. All business operations are those solely of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary ADM Enterprises, LLC.
In May of 2013, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to provide for an increase in its authorized share capital. The authorized common stock increased to 800,000,000 shares at a par value of $0.001 per share and preferred stock increased to 80,000,000 at a par value of $0.001 per share.
Current Business Operations
We began operations in 1988, under the ownership and control of Ardell Mees, who provided installation services to grocery decor design companies. As our reputation for excellent workmanship has grown, we have expanded our operations to serve a larger geographic region. On January 4, 2001, we incorporated in North Dakota as ADM Enterprises, Inc. On May 9, 2006, the Company changed both its name to ADM Endeavors and its domicile to the state of Nevada. On July 1, 2008, the Company acquired all of the assets of ADM Enterprises, LLC, a sole proprietorship owned by Ardell and Tammera Mees, in exchange for 10,000,000 newly issued shares of our common stock. As a result, ADM Enterprises, LLC became a wholly owned subsidiary of Company. Even though the Company was incorporated on January 4, 2001, it had no operations until the share exchange agreement with ADM Enterprises, LLC on July 1, 2008. All business operations are those solely of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary ADM Enterprises, LLC.
We provide customized construction and installation of grocery store decor for both new and renovated grocery stores. Our service and expertise include the installation of grocery checkout stands, grid ceilings, cart-stops, shelving, customer service counter, office cabinetry and other grocery store equipment and fixtures. Our clients primarily consist of design companies, most of whom are subsidiaries of major retail grocery chains, or are affiliated with Associated Wholesale Grocers, the nation’s second largest retailer-owned grocery wholesaler. We believe that our success is the result of both our quality installation of grocery equipment and fixtures, and high level of personal service that we provide to our customers. We receive bid requests from all regions of the United States. Therefore, we are seeking to expand our operations to service additional geographic areas.
The majority of our contracts have been in the Midwestern United States including North Dakota, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas. Over the past 25 years, ADM has completed projects in 25 states, including North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, Wyoming, Kansas, Colorado, Oklahoma, Illinois, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Arkansas, Missouri, Texas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, California, Nevada, and Florida.

The main focus of our expansion plan includes primarily the Midwestern United States including the states of North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Wyoming, Nebraska, and Kansas, as well as some southern states such as Texas, Oklahoma, Mississippi, and Kansas.
To effectuate our business plan during the next twelve months, we must increase our current customer base, as well as acquire additional employees and equipment so that we may accommodate our expanded customer base. We anticipate that we will establish an online presence to increase our market visibility and corporate recognition. We believe we can establish our industry presence and stimulate interest by constructing a trade show booth to market our services when we attend annual grocer tradeshows and conventions.
Use of Grocery Decor Installation Services in the Construction and Remodeling Industry has grown tremendously in recent years. The retail grocery industry is highly competitive and requires constant innovations to attract and retain customers. Accordingly, neighborhood markets battle for patrons by catering to customers’ desires for a modern, clean, and convenient shopping experience. Grocery stores, therefore, typically renovate every five to six years to maintain a new image.
In the past, store workers, painters or carpenters installed decor items. However, as the designs and materials became increasingly elaborate, the need for specialized and experienced installers grew. The installation process requires that an installer have special knowledge of various aspects of construction, including framing, finishing, and remodeling. Additionally, knowledge of standards for product usage, hanging methods and quality control are extremely helpful. As a result of the frequency of store renovations, coupled with the complexity of the items being installed secures the demand for custom installation services.

An investment in these securities involves an exceptionally high degree of risk and is extremely speculative in nature. You should consider carefully the following risks, along with all of the other information included in this report, before deciding to buy our common stock. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also impair our business operations. If we are unable to prevent events that have a negative effect from occurring, our business may suffer.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
Our operating results will be difficult to predict and fluctuations in them may cause volatility in the price of our shares.
Given the nature of the grocery store markets in which we compete, our revenues and profitability may be difficult to predict for many reasons, including the following:
● | Operating results may be highly dependent on the volume and timing of orders received from retailers seeking construction and installation of grocery store decor during any one quarter, which are difficult to forecast. Customers generally order on an as-needed basis and we typically will not obtain firm, long-term purchase commitments from our customers. As a result, our revenues in any quarter will depend primarily on orders received during that quarter. | |
● | We must incur a large portion of our costs in advance of orders because we must plan research and production, and installation, order components and enter into development, sales and marketing, and other operating commitments prior to obtaining firm commitments from our customers. This will make it difficult for us to adjust our costs in response to a revenue shortfall, which could adversely affect our operating results. |
Construction and production capacities that do not match demand for our products could result in lost sales or in a reduction in our gross margins.
Our industry is characterized by frequent new product and or design introductions, short-term customer commitments and volatile changes in demand. We will determine capacities based on our forecasts of demand for our services and products. Actual demand for our services and products will depend on many factors, which will make it difficult to forecast. The following problems could occur as a result of these differences:
● | If demand for our products is below our forecasts, we could produce excess personnel or have excess installation capacity. Excess personnel could negatively impact our cash flows and could result in higher construction, installation and design costs. | |
● | If demand for our products exceeds our forecasts, we could have to rapidly ramp up production. We will also depend on suppliers and manufacturers to provide components and sub-assemblies. As a result, we may not be able to increase our production levels to meet unexpected demand and could lose sales in the short term while we try to increase production. If customers turn to competitive sources of supply to meet their needs, our revenues could be adversely affected. | |
● | If demand for our products exceeds our forecasts, we could have to rapidly ramp up production. We will also depend on suppliers and manufacturers to provide components and sub-assemblies. As a result, we may not be able to increase our production levels to meet unexpected demand and could lose sales in the short term while we try to increase production. If customers turn to competitive sources of supply to meet their needs, our revenues could be adversely affected. | |
● | Rapidly increasing our production levels to meet unanticipated grocery customer demand could result in higher costs for grocery components and sub-assemblies, increased expenditures for freight to expedite delivery of grocery materials or finished goods, and higher overtime costs and other expenses. These higher expenditures could result in lower gross margins. |
If we do not timely introduce successful grocery store designs and products, our business and operating results could suffer.
The market for our services and products is characterized by rapidly evolving industry standards, short product life cycles and frequent new product introductions. As a result, we must continually introduce new products and technologies and enhance existing products in order to remain competitive. The success of our new products will depend on several factors, including our ability to: (i) anticipate technology and grocery store market trends; (ii) timely develop innovative new products and enhancements for grocery stores; (iii) distinguish our products from those of our competitors; (iv) manufacture and deliver high-quality products and provide high-quality services; and (v) price our products and services competitively.
Our failure to manage growth could harm it.
We intend to significantly expand the number and types of grocery stock products and services we will sell and we will endeavor to further expand our service and product portfolio. This expansion may place a significant strain on our management, operations and resources. Specifically, the areas that may be strained most by our growth will include the following:
● | New product and service launch. With the growth of our service and product portfolio, we may experience increased complexity in coordinating product development, installation and commissioning. As this complexity increases, it may place a strain on our ability to accurately coordinate the commercial launch of our services and products with adequate support to meeting anticipated customer demand. If we are unable to scale and improve our product and installation launch coordination, we could frustrate our customers and lose earned space and product sales. | |
● | Forecasting, planning and supply chain logistics. With the growth of our product portfolio, we may also experience increased complexity in forecasting grocery customer demand and in planning for production and transportation and logistics management. If we are unable to scale and improve our forecasting, planning and logistics management, we could frustrate our customers, lose product sales or accumulate excess inventory. |
3 |
To manage the growth of our operations, we will need to continue to improve our transaction processing, operational and financial systems, and procedures and controls to effectively manage the increased complexity. If we are unable to scale and improve them, the consequences could include delays in shipment of product, degradation in levels of customer support, lost sales and increased inventory. These difficulties could harm or limit our ability to expand.
If we do not compete effectively, demand for our grocery store products and installations could decline and our business and operating results could be adversely affected.
Our industry is intensely competitive. It is characterized by a trend of slowly rising average selling prices in the grocery market, and continual performance enhancements and new features, as well as rapid adoption of technological and product advancements by competitors in its grocery store market. Also, aggressive industry pricing practices and downward pressure on margins may result in increased price competition from both our primary competitors as well as from less established ones. If we do not continue to distinguish our grocery store products and installations through distinctive, technologically advanced features, design and services, as well as continue to build and strengthen our brand recognition, our business could be harmed. If we do not otherwise compete effectively, demand for our products will decline, our gross margins could decrease, we would lose market share, and our revenues could decline.
We depend on OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) and contract manufacturers who may not have adequate capacity to fulfill our needs or may not meet our quality and delivery objectives.
The primary suppliers of the components which we install in grocery stores are also the largest source of our contracts. They include DGS of Salt Lake City, Utah, which is a division of Supervalue stores with 3,400 stores, and with whom we have been working since 1988; DGS of Kansas City, Kansas is a division of Associated Wholesale Grocers with 2,900 stores, with whom we have been working for the last 19 years; and Reso/Nantz International of Lubbock, Texas, with whom we have worked since 2005. Within the areas of the United States in which ADM operates, these three companies would be considered the most prominent manufacturers of interior grocery store decor components.
Original component manufacturers and contractors produce our product lines. Our reliance on them will involve significant risks, including reduced control over quality and logistics management, the potential lack of adequate capacity and discontinuance of the contractors’ assembly processes. Financial instability of our manufacturers or contractors could result in us having to find new suppliers, which could increase our costs and delay our product and installation deliveries. These manufacturers and contractors may also choose to discontinue building its products for a variety of reasons. Consequently, we may experience delays in the timeliness, quality and adequacy in product and installation deliveries, any of which could harm our business and operating results.
We may purchase key grocery store components and products from single or limited sources, and our business and operating results could be harmed if supply were delayed or constrained or if there were shortages of required components.
Lead times for materials and components ordered by us or our contract manufacturers can vary significantly and depend on factors, such as the specific supplier, contract terms and demand for a grocery store component at a given time. We do not have any established contractual relations with our suppliers for key grocery store components. From time to time, we may thus experience supply shortages and fluctuations in component prices. While we will try to manage our component levels through the purchase of buffer stock, there is no guarantee that we will be able to maintain the inventory levels sufficient to meet our product demand. In addition, we may be at risk for these components if our customers reject or cancel orders unexpectedly or with inadequate notice.
Shortages or interruptions in the supply of components or subcontracted products, or our inability to procure these components or products from alternate sources at acceptable prices in a timely manner could delay shipment and installation of our products or increase our production or installation costs, which could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and operating results.
We may purchase some products and some key components used in our grocery store products from single or limited sources. If the supply of these products or key components were to be delayed or constrained, we may be unable to find a new supplier on acceptable terms or at all or our new and existing product shipment could be delayed. Any of this could harm our business, financial condition and operating results.
Our introduction of any new grocery store product lines may consume significant resources and not result in significant future revenues.
We may expand our grocery store product offerings with new product lines that are outside of our traditional areas of expertise. To accomplish this, we will need to commit resources to develop, sell and market these new products. With limited experience in these grocery store product lines and because these products may be based on technologies that are new to us, it may be difficult for us to accurately anticipate and forecast revenues, customer support costs and product returns. Our investments in the development and marketing of new lines of grocery store products could produce higher costs without a proportional increase in revenues.

We may be unable to protect our proprietary rights.
Our future success depends in part on our proprietary technology, technical know-how and other intellectual property. We rely on intellectual property laws, confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions, such as nondisclosure terms, to protect our intellectual property. Others may independently develop similar technology, duplicate our products, or design around our intellectual property rights. In addition, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of our product and installation services or to obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. Any of these events could significantly harm our business, financial condition and operating results.
We may also reliance on technologies that we acquire from others. We may rely on third parties for further required technologies. We may purchase a computer’s logic component or other technological devices from outside sources and will need to pay annual fees to enable us to get updates’/upgrades and technical support to the logic portion of the system or device. We may find it necessary or desirable in the future to obtain licenses or other rights relating to one or more if our products or to current or future technologies. These licenses or other rights may not be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all. The inability to obtain certain licenses or other rights or to obtain such licenses or rights on favorable terms, or the need to engage in litigation regarding these matters, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results. Moreover, the use of intellectual property licensed from third parties may limit our ability to protect the proprietary rights in our products.
We are an “emerging growth company,” and we cannot be certain if the reduced reporting requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors.
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, or the JOBS Act. For as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, delay compliance with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until they are made applicable to private companies, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We could be an emerging growth company for up to five years, although we could lose that status sooner if our revenues exceed $1 billion, if we issue more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt in a three year period, or if the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of any September 30 before that time, in which case we would no longer be an emerging growth company as of the following December 31. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. We have decided to take advantage of the exemptions provided to emerging growth companies and as a result our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates. In addition, some investors might find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.
Our future success depends on our ability to retain our key employees.
We are dependent on the services of Ardell Mees, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and member of our Board. Other than non-compete provisions of limited duration included in employment agreements that we may or will have with certain executives, we do not generally seek non-compete agreements with key personnel, and they may leave and subsequently compete against us. The loss of service of any of our senior management team, particularly those who are not party to employment agreements with us, or our failure to attract and retain other qualified and experienced personnel on acceptable terms, could have a material adverse effect on our business.
We may be unable to attract and retain the skilled employees needed to sustain and grow our business.
Our success to date has largely depended on, and will continue to depend on, the skills, efforts and motivations of our executive team and employees, who generally have significant experience with our Company and within the construction and installation of grocery store decor industry. Our success will also depend largely on our ability to attract and retain highly qualified interior decoration engineers and construction contractors and general corporate management personnel. We may find difficulties in locating and hiring qualified grocery store decor personnel and in retaining such personnel once hired, which may materially and adversely affect our business.
We may need additional capital in the future, but there is no assurance that funds will be available on acceptable terms, or at all.
We may need to raise additional funds in order to achieve growth or fund other business initiatives. This financing may not be available in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to us and may be dilutive to existing stockholders if raised through additional equity offerings. Additionally, any securities issued to raise funds may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing stockholders. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, our ability to expand, develop or enhance services or products, or respond to competitive pressures may be materially limited.
5 |
Any existing indebtedness could adversely affect our financial condition and we may not be able to fulfill our debt obligations.
Any proposed indebtedness may contain various covenants that may limit our ability to, among other things: (i) incur or guarantee additional indebtedness; (ii) pay dividends or make other distributions to our stockholders; (iii) make restricted payments; (iv) engage in transactions with affiliates; and (v) enter into proposed business transactions or combinations. These restrictions could limit our ability to withstand general economic downturns that could affect our business, obtain future financing, make acquisitions or capital expenditures, conduct operations or otherwise capitalize on business opportunities that may arise. Additionally, if we incur substantial debt for working capital purposes, we may use a significant portion of our cash flow to pay interest on our outstanding debt, limiting the amount available for working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes.
We may be more vulnerable to adverse economic conditions than less leveraged competitors and thus less able to withstand competitive pressures. If our cash flow is inadequate to make interest and principal payments on our debt, we might have to refinance our indebtedness or issue additional equity or other securities and may not be successful in those efforts or may not obtain terms favorable to us. Additionally, our ability to finance working capital needs and general corporate purposes for the public and private markets, as well as the associated cost of funding, is dependent, in part, on our credit ratings, which may be adversely affected if we experience declining service revenue. Any of these events could reduce our ability to generate cash available for investment or debt repayment or to make improvements or respond to events that would enhance profitability.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR SECURITIES
Our stock price may be volatile, which may result in losses to our shareholders.
The stock markets have experienced significant price and trading volume fluctuations, and the market prices of companies listed on the OTC Pink and other similarly-tiered quotation boards have been volatile in the past and have experienced sharp share price and trading volume changes. The trading price of our common stock is likely to be volatile and could fluctuate widely in response to many factors, including the following, some of which are beyond our control:
● | variations in our operating results; | |
● | changes in expectations of our future financial performance, including financial estimates by securities analysts and investors; | |
● | changes in operating and stock price performance of other companies in our industry; | |
● | additions or departures of key personnel; and | |
● | future sales of our common stock. |
Domestic and international stock markets often experience significant price and volume fluctuations. These fluctuations, as well as general economic and political conditions unrelated to our performance, may adversely affect the price of our common stock.
Our common shares may become thinly traded and you may be unable to sell at or near ask prices, or at all.
We cannot predict the extent to which an active public market for trading our common stock will be sustained. This situation is attributable to a number of factors, including the fact that we are a small company that is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors and others in the investment community who generate or influence sales volume. Even if we came to the attention of such persons, those persons tend to be risk-averse and may be reluctant to follow, purchase, or recommend the purchase of shares of an unproven company such as ours until such time as we become more seasoned and viable. As a consequence, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our shares is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on share price. We cannot give you any assurance that a broader or more active public trading market for our common stock will develop or be sustained, or that current trading levels will be sustained.
The market price for our common stock is particularly volatile given our status as a relatively small company, which could lead to wide fluctuations in our share price. You may be unable to sell your common stock at or above your purchase price if at all, which may result in substantial losses to you.
Shareholders should be aware that, according to SEC Release No. 34-29093, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (1) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (2) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (3) boiler room practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (4) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (5) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses. Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities. The occurrence of these patterns or practices could increase the volatility of our share price.
6 |
Because the SEC imposes additional sales practice requirements on brokers who deal in shares of penny stocks, some brokers may be unwilling to trade our securities. This means that you may have difficulty reselling your shares, which may cause the value of your investment to decline.
Our shares are classified as penny stocks and are covered by Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act, which imposes additional sales practice requirements on brokers-dealers who sell our securities. For sales of our securities, broker-dealers must make a special suitability determination and receive a written agreement prior from you to making a sale on your behalf. Because of the imposition of the foregoing additional sales practices, it is possible that broker-dealers will not want to make a market in our common stock. This could prevent you from reselling your shares and may cause the value of your investment to decline.
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) sales practice requirements may limit your ability to buy and sell our common stock, which could depress the price of our shares.
FINRA rules require broker-dealers to have reasonable grounds for believing that an investment is suitable for a customer before recommending that investment to the customer. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status and investment objectives, among other things. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability such speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. Thus, FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our shares, have an adverse effect on the market for our shares, and thereby depress our share price.
Volatility in our common share price may subject us to securities litigation.
The market for our common stock is characterized by significant price volatility as compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect that our share price will continue to be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. In the past, plaintiffs have often initiated securities class action litigation against a company following periods of volatility in the market price of its securities. We may, in the future, be the target of similar litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and liabilities and could divert management’s attention and resources.
Our business is subject to changing regulations related to corporate governance and public disclosure that have increased both our costs and the risk of noncompliance.
Because our common stock is publicly traded, we are subject to certain rules and regulations of federal, state and financial market exchange entities charged with the protection of investors and the oversight of companies whose securities are publicly traded. These entities, including the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the SEC and FINRA, have issued requirements and regulations and continue to develop additional regulations and requirements in response to corporate scandals and laws enacted by Congress, most notably the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Our efforts to comply with these regulations have resulted in, and are likely to continue resulting in, increased general and administrative expenses and diversion of management time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. Because new and modified laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations in many cases due to their lack of specificity, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies. This evolution may result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and additional costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to our disclosure and governance practices.
Sales of our currently issued and outstanding stock may become freely tradable pursuant to Rule 144 and may dilute the market for your shares and have a depressive effect on the price of the shares of our common stock.
A majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) (“Rule 144”). As restricted shares, these shares may be resold only pursuant to an effective registration statement or under the requirements of Rule 144 or other applicable exemptions from registration under the Securities Act and as required under applicable state securities laws. Rule 144 provides in essence that one year following a company filing Form 10 information with the SEC to that effect, a non-affiliate who has held restricted securities for a period of at least six months may sell their shares of common stock. Under Rule 144, affiliates who have held restricted securities for a period of at least six months may, under certain conditions, sell every three months, in brokerage transactions, a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of 1% of a company’s outstanding shares of common stock or the average weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks prior to the sale.

We may seek to raise additional funds, finance acquisitions or develop strategic relationships by issuing capital stock.
We may finance our operations and develop strategic relationships by issuing equity or debt securities, which could significantly reduce the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders. Furthermore, any newly issued securities could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of our existing stock. Moreover, any issuances by us of equity securities may be at or below the prevailing market price of our stock and in any event may have a dilutive impact on your ownership interest, which could cause the market price of our stock to decline.
Our preferred stock could be issued to inhibit potential investors or delay or prevent a change of control that may favor you.
Some of the provisions of our certificate of incorporation, our bylaws and Utah law could, together or separately, discourage potential acquisition proposals or delay or prevent a change in control. In particular, our board of directors is authorized to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock (less any outstanding shares of preferred stock) with rights and privileges that might be senior to our common stock, without the consent of the holders of the common stock.
Our common stock is subject to the “penny stock” rules of the SEC and the trading market in our securities is limited, which makes transactions in our stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our stock.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:
● | that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks; and | |
● | the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. |
In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:
● | obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and | |
● | make a reasonable determination that the transaction in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks. |
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form:
● | sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and | |
● | that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction. |
Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.
Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
Forward Looking Statements
Except for historical information, the following Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve certain risks and uncertainties. Such forward-looking statements include statements regarding, among other things, (a) discussions about the industries in which we operate, (b) our projected sales and profitability, (c) our growth strategies, (d) anticipated trends in our industry, (e) our future financing plans, (f) our anticipated needs for working capital, (g) our lack of operational experience and (h) the benefits related to ownership of our common stock. Forward-looking statements, which involve assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies, and expectations, are generally identifiable by use of the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “intend,” or “project” or the negative of these words or other variations on these words or comparable terminology. This information may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from the future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements. These statements may be found under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Description of Business,” as well as in this Report generally. Actual events or results may differ materially from those discussed in forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, without limitation, the risks outlined under “Risk Factors” and matters described in this Report generally. In light of these risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements contained in this Report will in fact occur as projected.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Current and Planned Operations
Currently, the Company has to travel to and from its only office in North Dakota to the mid-west to bid and compete for sales. The Company hopes to expand operations by opening a satellite office in the mid-western region whereby we could aggressively bid on projects easier and more efficiently. The Company also plans to mitigate the uncertainty of the U.S. economy by increasing its customer base to include mid-sized grocery chains as well.
The large national supermarket chains usually remodel their stores every (4) four to (6) six years. The Company has noticed that national chains will more typically begin remodeling projects in the second half of the year, with completion before the holiday season. The majority of the Company’s revenues are derived from Super Valu, Inc or Associated Wholesale Grocers which are 2 of many interior grocery store décor design companies. The contracts we are awarded can be anywhere from 1 week to 1 month, depending on how large the store is. It normally takes 21-30 days upon completion of projects to be paid in full.
Expanding the Company’s market reach and physical presence is the key to its continued growth. Because current ADM staff is limited by geographic considerations when bidding for jobs, it is necessary to provide more staff in more regions. Below is a list of planned district offices for the company and the geographical areas they will serve. Through the Company’s efforts to go public and enter the equities markets, the Company is seeking to secure additional funds from outside investors to execute its planned expanded operations in the near future. The Company has not entered into any agreements, verbal or written, with regards to securing additional funding necessary to finance planned future operations. Moreover, there are no agreements in place with any officer of the Company nor with outside entities to fund the Company if it were to have a shortfall in capital. It is estimated that each of the Company’s five targeted expansion areas will require approximately $200,000 each in startup capital for a total of $1,000,000 over a two-year rollout period.
Bismarck, North Dakota will continue to remain the headquarters for the Company. Because approximately 80% of the Company’s current clients come from the Kansas City area, this is the first area targeted for expansion.
District Location | Geographic Area | Target Date |
Kansas City, MO | Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas | March 1, 2018 |
Minneapolis, MN | Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Northern Illinois, and the UP of Michigan | September 1, 2018 |
Denver, CO | Colorado, Wyoming, Western Nebraska, and Western Kansas | March 1, 2019 |
Chicago, IL | Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Eastern Wisconsin | September 1, 2019 |
Spokane, WA | Washington, California, Idaho, and Montana | March 1, 2020 |
10 |
The Company hopes this expansion will result in large revenue gains over the next three years. As each new location becomes self-sufficient, revenues will grow proportionately. In order to ensure each location is self-sufficient as quickly as possible, the Company will implement an expansion plan company wide, including the following practices:
● | A full technological update, which will include the installation of a computer network with its main server located in Bismarck, North Dakota. Each outlying location will have a computer station so as to centralize each location. The headquarters will continue to be responsible for all accounting, billing, tracking, administrative, and management activities. Each location will simply provide data inputs of current activity to keep data current at all times. |

Critical Accounting Policies
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Such estimates include management’s assessments of the carrying value of certain assets, useful lives of assets, and related depreciation and amortization methods applied.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the product has been shipped or the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. In addition, the Company records allowances for accounts receivable that are estimated to not be collected.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all of the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary ADM Enterprises, LLC. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for major additions and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over the assets estimated useful life of three (3) years for equipment, (5) years for automobile, and (7) years for furniture and fixtures. Upon sale or retirement of property and equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in statements of operations.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We conduct all of our transactions, including those with foreign suppliers and customers, in U.S. dollars. We are therefore not directly subject to the risks of foreign currency fluctuations and do not hedge or otherwise deal in currency instruments in an attempt to minimize such risks. Demand from foreign customers and the ability or willingness of foreign suppliers to perform their obligations to us may be affected by the relative change in value of such customer or supplier’s domestic currency to the value of the U.S. dollar. Furthermore, changes in the relative value of the U.S. dollar may change the price of our products relative to the prices of our foreign competitors.
Stock-Based Compensation
We recognize compensation cost for stock-based awards based on the estimated fair value of the award on date of grant. We measure compensation cost at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and recognize compensation cost upon the probable attainment of a specified performance condition or over a service period.
11 |
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
We have decided to take advantage of the exemptions provided to emerging growth companies under the JOBS Act and as a result our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates. We may take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, delay compliance with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until they are made applicable to private companies.
Company management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Transactions
We currently have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and
Board of Directors ADM Endeavors, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of ADM Endeavors, Inc., as of December 31, 2015, and 2014 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the two years ended. 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 conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit 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 ADM Endeavors, Inc., as of December 31, 2015, and 2014 and results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As further described in Note 3 to these financial statements, the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014, have been restated.
The accompanying consolidated financials have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had accumulated losses of $14,472,501, has generated limited profit, and may experiences losses in the near term. These factors and the need for additional financing in order for the Company to meet its business plan, raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plan to continue as a going concern is also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
The Company began operations in 1988, under the ownership and control of Ardell Mees, who provided installation services to grocery decor design companies. On January 4, 2001, the Company incorporated in North Dakota as ADM Enterprises, Inc. On May 9, 2006, the Company changed both its name to ADM Endeavors and its domicile to the state of Nevada. On July 1, 2008, the Company acquired all of the assets of ADM Enterprises, LLC, a sole proprietorship owned by Ardell and Tammera Mees, in exchange for 10,000,000 newly issued shares of our common stock. As a result, ADM Enterprises, LLC became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Even though the Company was incorporated on January 4, 2001, it had no operations until the share exchange agreement with ADM Enterprises, LLC on July 1, 2008. All business operations are those solely of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary ADM Enterprises, LLC.
NOTE 2 -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all of the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary ADM Enterprises, LLC. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Going Concern
The Company has generated limited revenues and may continue to experience losses in the near term. We continue to be dependent on sales of our equity securities and debt financing to meet our cash requirements for the future proposed expansion of operations. The Company needs to maintain a steady operating structure, ensuring that expenses are contained such that profits are consistently achieved. In order to expand the Company’s business, the Company would likely require additional financing. Management of the Company must continually develop and refine its strategies and goals in order to execute the business plan of the Company on a broad scale and expand the business.
Failure to raise adequate capital and generate adequate revenues could result in the Company having to curtail or cease operations. The Company’s ability to raise additional capital through the future issuances of the common stock or debt is unknown. Additionally, even if the Company does raise sufficient capital to support its operating expenses and generate adequate revenues, there can be no assurances that the revenue will be sufficient to enable it to develop to a level where it will generate profits and cash flows from operations. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern; however, the accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classifications of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Such estimates include management’s assessments of the carrying value of certain assets, useful lives of assets, and related depreciation methods applied.
Cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had no cash equivalents.
Fair value of financial instruments
The Company adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 820 (the “Fair Value Topic”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
The Fair Value Topic defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. It requires that valuation techniques maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. It also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the valuation inputs into three broad levels.

The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:
A) Market approach—Uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. Prices may be indicated by pricing guides, sale transactions, market trades, or other sources;
B) Cost approach—Based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost); and
C) Income approach—Uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount based on current market expectations about the future amounts (includes present value techniques, and option-pricing models). Net present value is an income approach where a stream of expected cash flows is discounted at an appropriate market interest rate.
Level 1: Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with significant frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Example of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assessment of the assumptions that are market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
The carrying amount of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, accounts receivable, prepaid consulting expense, accounts payable, and note payable approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. The Company’s note payable approximate the fair value of such instruments based upon management’s best estimate of interest rates that would be available to the Company for similar financial arrangements at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.
The Company had no assets and/or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for major additions and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over the assets estimated useful life of three (3) years for equipment, (5) years for automobile, and (7) years for furniture and fixtures. Upon sale or retirement of property and equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in statements of operations.
Impairment of long-lived assets
The Company follows paragraph 360-10-05-4 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for its long-lived assets. The Company’s long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.
The Company assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the related long-lived asset or group of long-lived assets over their remaining estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amounts. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets. Fair value is generally determined using the asset’s expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable. If long-lived assets are determined to be recoverable, but the newly determined remaining estimated useful lives are shorter than originally estimated, the net book values of the long-lived assets are depreciated over the newly determined remaining estimated useful lives.
The Company determined that there were no impairments of long-lived assets at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the product has been shipped or the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. In addition, the Company records allowances for accounts receivable that are estimated to not be collectible.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company measures the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share-based compensation arrangements include stock options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at their fair value. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant.
Equity instruments (“instruments”) issued to other than employees are recorded on the basis of the fair value of the instruments at the measurement date. The measured value related to the instruments is recognized over a performance period based on the facts and circumstances of each particular grant.
Net income (loss) per share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders, by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding (including shares to be issued) during the period, excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares of common stock during the period. The diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted as of the first day of the year for any potentially diluted debt or equity.
There were potentially no dilutive shares outstanding at December 31, 2015 and 2014.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
Company management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
NOTE 3 – RESTATEMENT

NOTE 7 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of 800,000,000 shares of common stock and 80,000,000 shares of preferred stock, both $0.001 par value per share. There were 124,467,916 outstanding shares of common stock and no outstanding shares of Preferred stock at December 31, 2015.
Common shares issued and shares to issued during the second quarter of 2015
During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company issued 3,522,920 shares to a consultant for services rendered to the Company during 2014 and 2013. The Company valued the shares at $0.25 per share totaling $880,730.
In May and June 2015, the Company issued 1,852,080 shares of common stock to three (3) consultants for services valued at $463,020 or $0.25 per share.
On May 30, 2015, the Company granted 2,225,000 common shares valued at $556,250 for services to be provided from June 1, 2015 through May 30, 2016. The Company incurred consulting expense during the year ended December 31, 2015 relating to this grant of $324,479.
NOTE 8 – INCOME TAXES
At December 31, 2015 and 2014 respectively, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes of $77,663 and $120,026 available as offsets against future taxable income. The net operating loss carryforwards are expected to expire at various times from 2015 through 2036. Utilization of the Company’s net operating losses may be subject to substantial annual limitation if the Company experiences a 50% change in ownership, as provided by the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions. Such an ownership change would substantially increase the possibility of net operating losses expiring before complete utilization.
The provision for income taxes is different than would result from applying the U.S. statutory rate to profit before taxes for the reasons set forth in the following reconciliation:
2015 | 2014 | |||||||
Tax benefit computed at U.S. Statutory rate | $ | (247,736 | ) | $ | (315,615 | ) | ||
Increase (decrease) in taxes resulting from: | ||||||||
Non-deductible items | 267,750 | 303,214 | ||||||
Change in valuation allowance | (22,151 | ) | 13,725 | |||||
State taxes | 2,137 | (1,324 | ) | |||||
Total | $ | - | $ | - |
The tax effects of the primary temporary differences giving rise to the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows for the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2104:
2015 | 2014 | |||||||
Deferred tax assets/(liability) | ||||||||
Net operating loss carryforward | $ | 20,014 | $ | (12,401 | ) | |||
Accrued compensation | 2,137 | (1,324 | ) | |||||
Total deferred tax assets/(liability) | 22,151 | (13,725 | ) | |||||
Less valuation allowance | (22,151 | ) | 13,725 | |||||
Net deferred tax asset/liability | $ | - | $ | - |
Because of the Company’s lack of earnings history, the deferred tax assets have been fully offset by a valuation allowance. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during those periods that the temporary differences become deductible. The Company believes that the tax positions taken in its tax returns would be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and other required state jurisdictions. The Company’s periodic tax returns filed in 2012 and, thereafter, are subject to examination by taxing authorities under the normal statutes of limitations in the applicable jurisdictions.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENT WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
On June 26, 2015, the Company opted to change accounting firms for purposes of independent auditing, and subsequently released Terry L. Johnson, CPA (“Johnson”) as its independent registered accounting firm. Johnson’s report on the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to scope or accounting, except that the report contained an explanatory paragraph stating that there was substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Our Board of Directors participated in and approved the decision to change independent accountants. Through the period covered by the financial review of financial statements of the annual period ended December 31, 2014, there have been no disagreements with Johnson on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Johnson, would have caused them to make reference thereto in their report on the financial statements. Through the interim period through June 26, 2015 (the date of release of the former accountant), there were no disagreements with Johnson on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of Johnson would have caused them to make reference thereto in their report on the financial statements.
On June 26, 2015, the Company engaged Patrick D. Heyn, CPA, P.A. (“Heyn”), as its new independent registered public accountant. During the year ended December 31, 2014, and prior to June 26, 2015 (the date of the new engagement), the Company did not consult with Heyn regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, (ii) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements by Heyn, in either case where written or oral advice provided by Heyn would be an important factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issues or (iii) any other matter that was the subject of a disagreement between us and our former auditor or was a reportable event (as described in Items 304(a)(1)(iv) or Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, respectively).
Effective January 1, 2017, the firm of Patrick D. Heyn, CPA, P.A. merged with the firm of Soles & Company, resulting in the new firm Soles, Heyn & Company, LLP. Our Board of Directors approved the decision to engage Soles, Heyn & Company, LLP as our independent registered public auditor.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer (principal financial officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13(a)-15(e) under the 1934 Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, because of the Company’s limited resources and limited number of employees, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2015.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurances regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the financial statements of the Company in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
With the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015 based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO II”). Based on our evaluation and the material weaknesses described below, management concluded that the Company’s internal controls were not effective based on financial reporting as of December 31, 2015 based on the COSO framework criteria. Management has identified control deficiencies regarding the lack of segregation of duties, tax compliance issues and the need for a stronger internal control environment. Management of the Company believes that these material weaknesses are due to the small size of the Company’s accounting staff and reliance on outside consultants for external reporting. The small size of the Company’s accounting staff may prevent adequate controls in the future, such as segregation of duties, due to the cost/benefit of such remediation.
24 |
To mitigate the current limited resources and limited employees, we rely heavily on direct management oversight of transactions, along with the use of legal and outside accounting consultants. As we grow, we expect to increase our number of employees, which will enable us to implement adequate segregation of duties within the internal control framework.
These control deficiencies could result in a misstatement of account balances that would result in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement to our consolidated financial statements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Accordingly, we have determined that these control deficiencies as described above together constitute a material weakness.
In light of this material weakness, we performed additional analyses and procedures in order to conclude that our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K were fairly stated in accordance with US GAAP. Accordingly, management believes that despite our material weaknesses, our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 are fairly stated, in all material respects, in accordance with US GAAP.
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors 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. 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 the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include, but are not limited to, the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also 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. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Changes in Internal Controls
During the year ended December 31, 2015, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.
None.

Board Composition
Our bylaws provide that the Board of Directors shall consist of one or more members. Each director of the Company serves for a term of one year or until a successor is elected at the Company’s annual shareholders meeting and is qualified, subject to removal by the Company’s shareholders. Each officer serves, at the pleasure of the Board of Directors, for a term of one year and until a successor is elected at the annual meeting of the Board of Directors and is qualified.
Committees
Our board of directors does not currently have a compensation committee or nominating and corporate governance committee because, due to the board of director’s composition and our relatively limited operations, the board of directors believes it is able to effectively manage the issues normally considered by such committees. Our board of directors may undertake a review of the need for these committees in the future.
Board of Directors and Director Nominees
Since our Board of Directors does not include a majority of independent directors, the decisions of the Board regarding director nominees are made by persons who have an interest in the outcome of the determination. The Board will consider candidates for directors proposed by security holders, although no formal procedures for submitting candidates have been adopted. Unless otherwise determined, at any time not less than 90 days prior to the next annual Board meeting at which a slate of director nominees is adopted, the Board will accept written submissions from proposed nominees that include the name, address and telephone number of the proposed nominee; a brief statement of the nominee’s qualifications to serve as a director; and a statement as to why the security holder submitting the proposed nominee believes that the nomination would be in the best interests of our security holders. If the proposed nominee is not the same person as the security holder submitting the name of the nominee, a letter from the nominee agreeing to the submission of his or her name for consideration should be provided at the time of submission. The letter should be accompanied by a résumé supporting the nominee’s qualifications to serve on the Board, as well as a list of references.
26 |
The Board identifies director nominees through a combination of referrals from different people, including management, existing Board members and security holders. Once a candidate has been identified, the Board reviews the individual’s experience and background and may discuss the proposed nominee with the source of the recommendation. If the Board believes it to be appropriate, Board members may meet with the proposed nominee before making a final determination whether to include the proposed nominee as a member of the slate of director nominees submitted to security holders for election to the Board.
Some of the factors, which the Board considers when evaluating proposed nominees, include their knowledge of and experience in business matters, finance, capital markets and mergers and acquisitions. The Board may request additional information from each candidate prior to reaching a determination, and it is under no obligation to formally respond to all recommendations, although as a matter of practice, it will endeavor to do so.
Conflicts of Interest
Our directors are not obligated to commit their full time and attention to our business and, accordingly, they may encounter a conflict of interest in allocating their time between our operations and those of other businesses. In the course of their other business activities, they may become aware of investment and business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to us as well as other entities to which they owe a fiduciary duty. As a result, they may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented. They may also in the future become affiliated with entities that are engaged in business activities similar to those we intend to conduct.
In general, officers and directors of a corporation are required to present business opportunities to the Corporation if:
● | the Corporation could financially undertake the opportunity; | |
● | the opportunity is within the corporation’s line of business; and | |
● | it would be unfair to the corporation and its stockholders not to bring the opportunity to the attention of the Corporation. |
We plan to adopt a code of ethics that obligates our directors, officers and employees to disclose potential conflicts of interest and prohibits those persons from engaging in such transactions without our consent.
Significant Employees
Other than as described above, we have no full-time employees whose services are materially significant to our business and operations.
Legal Proceedings
During the past ten years, none of our present or former directors, executive officers or persons nominated to become directors or executive officers:
● | have been convicted in a criminal proceeding or been subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); | |
● | had any bankruptcy petition filed by or against the business or property of the person, or of any partnership, corporation or business association of which he was a general partner or executive officer, either at the time of the bankruptcy filing or within two years prior to that time; | |

No Audit Committee or Financial Expert
The Company does not have an audit committee or a financial expert serving on the Board of Directors. The Company plans to form and implement an audit committee as soon as practicable.
Family Relationships
Ardell Mees and Tammera Mees are married. Other than this relationship, there are no family relationships among any of our officers, directors, or persons nominated for such positions.
Code of Ethics
Due to our recent change in business strategy and objectives and our small size and limited resources, we have not yet adopted a code of ethics that applies to our principal executive officer and principal accounting officer, but intend to do so.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, all executive officers, directors, and each person who is the beneficial owner of more than 10% of the common stock of a company that files reports pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act of 1934, are required to report the ownership of such common stock, options, and stock appreciation rights (other than certain cash only rights) and any changes in that ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company has evaluated all relevant Section 16(a) filings and has determined that the company is compliant with this section to the best of its knowledge.
ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Our Board of Directors has not established a separate compensation committee. Instead, the Board of Directors reviews and approves executive compensation policies and practices, reviews salaries and bonuses for our officer(s), decides on benefit plans, and considers other matters as may, from time to time, be referred to it. We do not currently have a Compensation Committee Charter. Our Board continues to emphasize the important link between our performance, which ultimately benefits all shareholders, and the compensation of our executives. Therefore, the primary goal of our executive compensation policy is to closely align the interests of the shareholders with the interests of the executive officer(s). In order to achieve this goal, we attempt to (i) offer compensation opportunities that attract and retain executives whose abilities and skills are critical to our long-term success and reward them for their efforts in ensuring our success and (ii) encourage executives to manage from the perspective of owners with an equity stake in us.
