Forward-Looking Information
This Annual Report of ADM Endeavors, Inc. on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements, particularly those identified with the words, “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “objectives,” and similar expressions. These statements reflect management’s best judgment based on factors known at the time of such statements. The reader may find discussions containing such forward-looking statements in the material set forth under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis and Plan of Operations,” generally, and specifically therein under the captions “Liquidity and Capital Resources” as well as elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Actual events or results may differ materially from those discussed herein. The forward-looking statements specified in the following information have been compiled by our management on the basis of assumptions made by management and considered by management to be reasonable. Our future operating results, however, are impossible to predict and no representation, guaranty, or warranty is to be inferred from those forward-looking statements. The assumptions used for purposes of the forward-looking statements specified in the following information represent estimates of future events and are subject to uncertainty as to possible changes in economic, legislative, industry, and other circumstances. As a result, the identification and interpretation of data and other information and their use in developing and selecting assumptions from and among reasonable alternatives require the exercise of judgment. To the extent that the assumed events do not occur, the outcome may vary substantially from anticipated or projected results, and, accordingly, no opinion is expressed on the achievability of those forward-looking statements. No assurance can be given that any of the assumptions relating to the forward-looking statements specified in the following information are accurate, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements.
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 shares at a par value of $0.001 per share.

Current Business Operations
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.

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 it 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 duration of the contracts awarded can range 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 |

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. |
Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2016 and 2015
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.
8 |
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.
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.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

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, 2016 and 2015 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, 2016 and 2015 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.
The accompanying consolidated financials have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had accumulated losses of approximately $15,250,000, has generated limited revenue, 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.

ADM ENDEAVORS, INC.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2016
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
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 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 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 AMD Enterprises, LLC at December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 for the periods then ended. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Going Concern
The Company has sustained losses 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.
16 |
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, 2016 and December 31, 2015, 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, 2016 and December 31, 2015.
The Company had no assets and/or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.
17 |
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, such as intellectual property, are required to be reviewed for impairment annually, or 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, 2016 and December 31, 2015.
Revenue recognition
The Company follows paragraph 605-10-S99-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for 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
In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Under FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 718, companies are required to measure 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. The Company applies this statement prospectively.
Equity instruments (“instruments”) issued to other than employees are recorded on the basis of the fair value of the instruments, as required by FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 718. FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 505, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees defines the measurement date and recognition period for such instruments. In general, the measurement date is when either a (a) performance commitment, as defined, is reached or (b) the earlier of (i) the non-employee performance is complete or (ii) the instruments are vested. The measured value related to the instruments is recognized over a period based on the facts and circumstances of each particular grant as defined in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.
18 |
Net loss per share
The Company computes basic and diluted loss per share amounts pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders, by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net 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, 2016 and December 31, 2015.
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 – PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Fixed assets, stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation at December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 consisted of the following:
December 31, 2016 | December 31, 2015 | |||||||
Equipment | $ | 10,489 | $ | 5,732 | ||||
Trucks | 35,000 | 35,000 | ||||||
Less: Accumulated Depreciation | (27,813 | ) | (19,888 | ) | ||||
Property and Equipment, net | $ | 17,676 | $ | 20,844 |
Depreciation expense
Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 was $7,925 and $7,925 respectively.
NOTE 4 – NOTE PAYABLE
On March 3, 2014, the Company purchased a vehicle to use for projects that require management to work extended stays on location. The Company paid $5,000 as a down payment and financed $30,015 with 4.122% APR due on March 10, 2021. The loan calls for monthly payments of $412.
As of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company has a note payable balance of $19,181 and $23,319, respectively.
NOTE 5 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company has been provided office space by its chief executive officer, Ardell Mees, at no cost. Management has determined that such cost is nominal and did not recognize the rent expense in its financial statements. During the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, the Chief Executive Officer advanced the Company $75,408 and $31,203.
Employment Agreement
On January 3, 2015, the Company executed a two-year employment agreement with Ardell D. Mees, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. As compensation for services, Mr. Mees is to receive an annual base salary of $72,000. The amount payable to Mr. Mees at December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was $75,408 and $31,203, respectively.
19 |
NOTE 6 – 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 127,050,917 and 124,467,916 outstanding shares of common stock and no outstanding shares of Preferred stock at December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.
Common shares issued and to be issued
On May 30, 2015, the Company granted 2,225,000 shares of common stock valued at $556,250 or $0.25 per share for consulting services to a related party. The $556,250 is being amortized over the one-year term on the contract.
On May 30, 2016, the Company granted 2,250,000 shares of common stock valued at $562,500 or $0.25 per share for consulting services to a related party. The $562,500 is being amortized over the one-year term on the contract.
On July 26, 2016, the Company issued 350,000 shares of common stock to a consultant valued at $87,500 or $0.25 per share for consulting services.
During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company recognized a total consulting expense of $645,751.
NOTE 7 – INCOME TAXES
At December 31, 2016 and 2015 respectively, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes of $239,740 and $77,663 available as offsets against future taxable income. The net operating loss carryforwards are expected to expire at various times from 2016 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:
2016 | 2015 | |||||||
Tax benefit computed at U.S. Statutory rate | $ | (262,462 | ) | $ | (247,736 | ) | ||
Increase (decrease) in taxes resulting from: | ||||||||
Non-deductible items | 219,555 | 267,750 | ||||||
Change in valuation allowance | (47,487 | ) | (22,151 | ) | ||||
State taxes | (5,192 | ) | (2,137 | ) | ||||
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, 2016 and 2015
2016 | 2015 | |||||||
Deferred tax assets/(liability) | ||||||||
Net operating loss carryforward | $ | 42,295 | $ | 20,014 | ||||
Accrued compensation | 5,192 | 2,137 | ||||||
Total deferred tax assets/(liability) | 47,487 | 22,151 | ||||||
Less valuation allowance | (47,487 | ) | (22,151 | ) | ||||
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.
NOTE 8 – CONCENTRATION OF CUSTOMER
For the year ended December 31, 2016 the Company has 2 customers which amounted to substantially all of its sales with one of the customers equaling 90.05%. For the year ended December 31, 2015 the Company has 5 customers which amounted to substantially all of its sales with one of the customers equaling 77.69%.

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, 2016.
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, 2016 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, 2016 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.
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, 2016 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, 2016 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.
22 |
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, 2016, 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.
24 |
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; | |
● | have been subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction or federal or state authority, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting, his or her involvement in any type of business, securities, futures, commodities, investment, banking, savings and loan, or insurance activities, or to be associated with persons engaged in any such activity; | |
● | have been found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action or by the SEC or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not bee reversed, suspended or vacated; or |
25 |
● | have been the subject of, or a party to, any federal or state judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree or finding, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated (not including any settlement of a civil proceeding among private litigants), relating to an alleged violation of any federal or state securities or commodities law or regulation, any law or regulation respecting financial institutions or insurance companies including, but not limited to, a temporary or permanent injunction, order of disgorgement or restitution, civil money penalty or temporary or permanent cease-and-desist order, or removal or prohibition order, or any law or regulation prohibiting mail or wire fraud or fraud in connection with any business entity; or have been the subject of, or a party to, any sanction or order, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any self-regulatory organization (as defined in Section 3(a)(26) of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78c(1)(26)), any registered entity (as defined in Section 1(a)(29) of the Commodity Exchange Act (7 U.S.C. 1(a)(29)), or any equivalent exchange, association, entity or organization that has disciplinary authority over its members or persons associated with a member. |
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.

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
As of December 31, 2016, we had 127,050,917 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. The following table sets forth information known to us as of December 31, 2016 relating to the beneficial ownership of shares of our common stock by:

28 |
Unless otherwise indicated, the business address of each person listed is in care of 2021 N 3rd St., Bismarck, ND 58501. The percentages in the table have been calculated on the basis of treating as outstanding for a particular person, all shares of our common stock outstanding on that date and all shares of our common stock issuable to that holder in the event of exercise of outstanding options, warrants, rights or conversion privileges owned by that person at that date which are exercisable within 60 days of that date. Except as otherwise indicated, the persons listed below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of our common stock owned by them, except to the extent that power may be shared with a spouse.
The following table sets forth certain information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of the date of this Annual Report by each person or entity known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of common stock, each of our directors and named executive officers, and all of our directors and executive officers as a group.

(2) | Unless otherwise indicated, the business address of each person listed is in care of 2021 N 3rd St., Bismarck, ND 58501. |
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. In accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission rules, shares of our common stock which may be acquired upon exercise of stock options or warrants which are currently exercisable or which become exercisable within 60 days of the date of the table are deemed beneficially owned by the optionees. Subject to community property laws, where applicable, the persons or entities named in the table above have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of our common stock indicated as beneficially owned by them.
Changes in Control
Our management is not aware of any arrangements which may result in “changes in control” as that term is defined by the provisions of Item 403(c) of Regulation S-K.
