Our Corporate History and Background
GridIron BioNutients, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on July 31, 2014 under the laws of the State of Nevada. From our formation on July 31, 2014 until October 9, 2017, we were engaged in the business of cloud storage services. Sommay Vongsa served as President, Secretary, Treasurer and sole director from July 31, 2014, until his resignation on October 9, 2017. Concurrent with his resignation, Mr. Vongsa appointed Darren Long, as the Company’s new Chief Executive Officer, Secretary, Chairman of the board of directors, and Secretary; Timothy Orr, as the Company’s new President and a director; and Brian Martinho, as the Company’s new Treasurer and a director. Effective February 26, 2018, Darren Long resigned as a member and Chairman of the Board of Directors, and as Chief Executive Officer, of the Company. Effective February 26, 2018, Brian Martinho resigned as a member of the Board of Directors, and as Treasurer, of the Company. Effective, February 27, 2018, Timothy Orr, as the sole member of the Board of Directors, appointed himself as Secretary and Treasurer of the Company. Mr. Orr is also presently the Company’s President.
Effective November 28, 2017, the board of directors and the stockholders of the majority of voting power of the Company approved an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to change the name of the Company from “My Cloudz, Inc.” to “GridIron BioNutrients, Inc.” A Certificate of Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation effecting the change of name of the Company was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada effective November 27, 2017. The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. recognized the name change effective December 18, 2017. Under Rule 14c-2, promulgated pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the name change became effective February 21, 2018.
From inception until we completed our reverse acquisition of GridIron BioNutrients, our principal business was cloud storage services.
Reverse Acquisition of GridIron BioNutrients
On October 9, 2017, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”), by and among the Company, GridIron BioNutrients, Inc., then a privately-held Nevada corporation since renamed GridIron Ventures, Inc. (“GridIron Ventures”), and the holders of common stock of GridIron Ventures. The holders of the common stock of GridIron Ventures consisted of 3 stockholders.
Under the terms and conditions of the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company offered, sold and issued 70,000,000 shares of common stock in consideration for all the issued and outstanding shares in GridIron Ventures. The effect of the issuance was that GridIron Ventures shareholders held approximately 57.0% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company, giving effect the Share Exchange Agreement.
Darren Long, the founder of GridIron Ventures, became the Company’s new Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of the board of directors, and Secretary, was then the holder of 35,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company. Timothy Orr, became the Company’s new President, a director of the Company, and the holder of 17,500,000 shares of common stock of the Company. Brian Martinho, became the Company’s new Treasurer, a director, and the holder of 17,500,000 shares of common stock of the Company. The Company’s new officers and sole director, therefore, control an aggregate of 70,000,000, or 57.0%, of the outstanding common stock of the Company, on a fully diluted basis, giving effect to the Share Exchange Agreement.
As a result of the Share Exchange Agreement, GridIron Ventures became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
The share exchange transaction with GridIron Ventures was treated as a reverse acquisition, with GridIron Ventures as the acquiror and the Company as the acquired party. Unless the context suggests otherwise, when we refer in this Form 10-K to business and financial information for periods prior to the consummation of the reverse acquisition, we are referring to the business and financial information of GridIron Ventures.

Distribution of Products
Gridiron’s products are currently available for sale on its website http://gridironbionutrients.com. The Company intends to retain a consultant(s) to provide avenues to distribution its products within the next twelve months. However, in order to retain any consultant(s) the Company will require funding and currently the Company does not have the required funding to accomplish this task. If the Company is unable to secure financing; it would likely result in a material loss of any investment made into the Company.
Competition
Competition within the cannabidiol (CBD) industry is intense with many well-established companies within the market and numerous start-up companies entering the market. Gridiron intends to brand and market high quality CBD products through both exclusive and non-exclusive strategic alliances that will serve to make the Company a market leader.
In addition to the products described herein the Company intends to add an additional CBD water beverage to its product line within the next 4-5 months. The Company can provide no assurance or guarantee that it will be able to develop and/or maintain any strategic alliances now or in the future or that its anticipated new CBD beverage will be accepted by the market if and when developed. If the Company cannot develop and maintain strategic alliances or be successful with the offer of its CBD products and proposed CBD products it would be a significant material negative impact on the business that could result in a significant loss to any investment made into the Company.
Sources of Raw Materials
Gridiron MVP™ product(s) contain proprietary blend of nutrients that are sourced from various third parties and formulated into the water beverage and concentrate. If for any reason any of these sources are disrupted and the Company is unable to obtain the raw materials necessary to formulate the Gridiron MVP™ product(s) it would materially impact the business that may result in significant losses. Moreover, the Company will be dependent upon third party bottling facilities for its Gridiron MVP™ product; currently the Company has no arrangements or otherwise with any bottling facility and cannot provide any assurance that a suitable bottling facility can be retained or maintained in the future.
The Company currently has a Distribution place for the Gridiron Salve, Gridiron Premium Hemp Oil Drops (1oz /2oz) and Gridiron Premium Hemp Oil Capsules. If there is a disruption with the manufacturer of these products for any reason with the Company, it could result in significant delays and/or the inability to deliver the products to customers which would negatively impact the Company’s business.
Strategic Partners
The Company intends to develop both exclusive and non-exclusive strategic alliances that promote the Company’s products.
Intellectual Property
We rely on a combination of trademark laws, trade secrets, confidentiality provisions and other contractual provisions to protect our proprietary rights, which are primarily our brand names, product designs and marks. We do not own any patents.

87594229 - GRIDIRON BIONUTRIENTS in international class 005 (supplements)
87594267 - GRIDIRON MVP in international class 005 (supplements)

Government Regulation and Approvals
We are not aware of any governmental regulations or approvals needed for any of our products. We do not believe that we are subject to any government regulations relating to the ownership and licensing of our intellectual property.
Cannabis Regulation
Although a number of states of the United States have legalized medical marijuana, recreational marijuana, or both, it remains illegal under United States federal law. Cannabis currently remains a Schedule I drug under the Controlled Substances Act of 1970. Under United States federal law, a Schedule I drug or substance has a high potential for abuse, no accepted medical use in the United States, and a lack of accepted safety for the use of the drug under medical supervision. As such, cannabis related practices or activities, including without limitation, the manufacture, importation, possession, use, or distribution of cannabis, remain illegal under United States federal law.
Although federally illegal, the U.S. federal government’s approach to enforcement of such laws has of least until recently trended toward non-enforcement. On August 29, 2013, the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) issued a memorandum known as the “Cole Memorandum” to all U.S. Attorneys’ offices (federal prosecutors). The Cole Memorandum generally directed U.S. Attorneys not to prioritize the enforcement of federal cannabis laws against individuals and businesses that rigorously comply with state regulatory provisions in states with strictly regulated medical or recreational cannabis programs. While not legally binding, and merely prosecutorial guidance, the Cole Memorandum laid a framework for managing the tension between state and federal laws concerning state regulated cannabis businesses.
However, on January 4, 2018 the Cole Memorandum was revoked by Attorney General Jeff Sessions, a long-time opponent of state-regulated medical and recreational cannabis. While this did not create a change in federal law, as the Cole Memorandum was not itself law, the revocation removed the DOJ’s guidance to U.S. Attorneys that state regulated cannabis industries substantively in compliance with the Cole Memorandum’s guidelines should not be a prosecutorial priority. In addition to his revocation of the Cole Memorandum, Attorney General Sessions also issued a one-page memorandum known as the “Sessions Memorandum”. The Sessions Memorandum confirmed the rescission of the Cole Memorandum and explained the rationale of the DOJ in doing so: the Cole Memorandum, according to the Sessions Memorandum, was “unnecessary” due to existing general enforcement guidance adopted in the 1980s, as set forth in the U.S. Attorney’s Manual (the “USAM”). The USAM enforcement priorities, like those of the Cole Memorandum, are also based on the federal government’s limited resources, and include “law enforcement priorities set by the Attorney General,” the “seriousness” of the alleged crimes, the “deterrent effect of criminal prosecution,” and “the cumulative impact of particular crimes on the community.”
While the Sessions Memorandum emphasizes that cannabis is a Schedule I controlled substance, and reiterates the statutory view that cannabis is a “dangerous drug and that marijuana activity is a serious crime,” it does not otherwise indicate that the prosecution of cannabis-related offenses is now a DOJ priority. Furthermore, the Sessions Memorandum explicitly describes itself as a guide to prosecutorial discretion. Such discretion is firmly in the hands of U.S. Attorneys in deciding whether or not to prosecute cannabis-related offenses. Our outside U.S. counsel continuously monitors all U.S. Attorney comments related to regulated medical and adult-use cannabis laws to assess various risks and enforcement priorities within each jurisdiction. Dozens of U.S. Attorneys across the country have affirmed that their view of federal enforcement priorities has not changed, although a few have displayed greater ambivalence.
On January 15, 2019, U.S. Attorney General nominee William P. Barr intimated a markedly different approach to cannabis regulation than his predecessor during his confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Mr. Barr stated that his approach to cannabis regulation would be not to upset settled expectations that have arisen as a result of the Cole Memorandum, that it would be inappropriate to upset the current situation as there has been reliance on the Cole Memorandum and that he would not be targeting companies that have relied on the Cole Memorandum and are complying with state laws with respect to the distribution and production of cannabis. While he did not offer support for cannabis legalization, Mr. Barr did emphasize the need for the U.S. Congress to clarify federal laws to address the untenable current situation which has resulted in a backdoor nullification of federal law.
Additionally, under U.S. federal law it may, under certain circumstances, be a violation of federal money laundering statutes for financial institutions to accept any proceeds from cannabis sales or any other Schedule I controlled substances. Banks and other financial institutions could be prosecuted and possibly convicted of money laundering for providing services to U.S. cannabis businesses. Under U.S. federal law, banks or other financial institutions that provide a cannabis business with a checking account, debit or credit card, small business loan or any other service could be found guilty of money laundering or conspiracy. Despite these laws, in February 2014, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (“FCEN”) of the Treasury Department issued a memorandum (the “FCEN Memorandum”) providing instructions to banks seeking to provide services to cannabis-related businesses. The FCEN Memorandum states that in some circumstances, it is permissible for banks to provide services to cannabis-related businesses without risking prosecution for violation of federal money laundering laws. It refers to supplementary guidance that Deputy Attorney General Cole issued to federal prosecutors relating to the prosecution of money laundering offenses predicated on cannabis-related violations of the CSA. It is unclear at this time whether the current administration will follow the guidelines of the FCEN Memorandum.

Although we do not produces, handle or sell cannabis, and the possession, cultivation and distribution of marijuana for medical use is permitted in Nevada, and medical and recreational use is permitted in the State of Washington, where our administrative offices are located, provided compliance with applicable state and local laws, rules, and regulations, marijuana is illegal under federal law. We believe we operate our business in compliance with applicable Nevada and Washington law and regulations. Any changes in federal, state or local law enforcement regarding marijuana may affect our ability to operate our business. Strict enforcement of federal law regarding marijuana would likely result in the inability to proceed with our business plans, could expose us to potential criminal liability and could subject our properties to civil forfeiture. Any changes in banking, insurance or other business services may also affect our ability to operate our business.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
This summary of accounting policies for Gridiron is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP” accounting) and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates are used when accounting for fair value calculations related to embedded conversion features of outstanding convertible notes payable.
Cash
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents to the extent the funds are not being held for investment purposes. The Company had $18,975 and $774,468 of cash and cash equivalents as of August 31, 2019 and 2018. As of August 31, 2018, the Company held cash of $524,468 with one financial institution in excess of the FDIC insured limit of $250,000.
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenue under ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” (“ASC 606”). The core principle of the revenue standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods and services transferred to the customer.
Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services and is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration that an entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The amount of revenue that is recorded reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods. The Company applies the following five-step model in order to determine this amount: (i) identification of the promised goods in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods are performance obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation.
The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods transfers to the customer. Once a contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606 at contract inception, the Company reviews the contract to determine which performance obligations the Company must deliver and which of these performance obligations are distinct. The Company recognizes as revenues the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when the performance obligation is satisfied or as it is satisfied. Generally, the Company’s performance obligations are transferred to customers at a point in time, typically upon delivery.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value of certain of the Company’s financial instruments including cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payable, and other accrued liabilities approximate cost because of their short maturities. The Company measures and reports fair value in accordance with ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value investments.
Fair value, as defined in ASC 820, is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value of an asset should reflect its highest and best use by market participants, principal (or most advantageous) markets, and an in-use or an in-exchange valuation premise. The fair value of a liability should reflect the risk of nonperformance, which includes, among other things, the Company’s credit risk.
Valuation techniques are generally classified into three categories: the market approach; the income approach; and the cost approach. The selection and application of one or more of the techniques may require significant judgment and are primarily dependent upon the characteristics of the asset or liability, and the quality and availability of inputs. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under ASC 820 must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. ASC 820 also provides fair value hierarchy for inputs and resulting measurement as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that are supported by little or no market activity, and that are significant to the fair values.
Fair value measurements are required to be disclosed by the Level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements in their entirety fall. Fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (in Level 3 measurements) are subject to expanded disclosure requirements including a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances, separately presenting changes during the period attributable to the following: (i) total gains or losses for the period (realized and unrealized), segregating those gains or losses included in earnings, and a description of where those gains or losses included in earning are reported in the statement of income.
As discussed in Note 9 – Derivative Liability, the Company valued its derivative liability using Level 3 inputs as of August 31, 2019 and August 31, 2018. The Company did not identify any additional assets or liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value in accordance with ASC 825-10 as of August 31, 2019 and 2018.
Derivative Liabilities
The Company generally does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow or market risks. However, certain other financial instruments, such as warrants and embedded conversion features on the convertible debt, are classified as derivative liabilities due to protection provisions within the agreements. Convertible notes payable are initially recorded at fair value using the Monte Carlo model and subsequently adjusted to fair value at the close of each reporting period. The preferred stock warrants are initially recorded at fair value using the Black Scholes model and subsequently adjusted to fair value at the close of each reporting period. The Company accounts for derivative instruments and debt instruments in accordance with the interpretive guidance of ASC 815, ASU 2017-11, and associated pronouncements related to the classification and measurement of warrants and instruments with conversion features.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the assets and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Use of net operating loss carry forwards for income tax purposes may be limited by Internal Revenue Code section 382 if a change of ownership occurs.
Principals of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements represent the results of Gridiron BioNutrients, Inc, its wholly owned subsidiary, Gridiron Ventures and the assets, processes, and results therefrom. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. All financial information has been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are carried at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed in the period incurred. Renewals and betterments that materially extend the life of the assets are capitalized. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in income for the period.
Depreciation is computed for financial statement purposes on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of the related assets and the modified accelerated cost recovery system for federal income tax purposes. The estimated useful lives of depreciable assets are:

Inventories
Inventories consist of raw materials, packing materials, bottled water and concentrates, capsules, gummy products, drops and other items and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the first‑in, first‑out method. The Company periodically assesses the recoverability of its inventory and reduces the carrying value of the inventory when items are determined to be obsolete, defective or in excess of forecasted sales requirements. Inventory write‑downs for excess, defective and obsolete inventory are recorded as a cost of revenue. During August 2019, the Company wrote-off $40,136 of expired inventory, The Company did not have any other write downs of inventory during the years ended August 31, 2019 and 2018. Inventory balances were $203,563 and $53,110 as of August 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
A summary of the Company’s inventory as of August 31, 2019 and 2018 is as follows:

Basic Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. The conversion of preferred shares, warrants and convertible debt to common shares could potentially bring the number of common shares to a total of approximately 194,000,000. The preferred conversion and warrants would account for approximately 51,394,000 additional shares, the convertible debt would account for approximately 7,096,900 additions shares and an additional 228,571 that have not been issued yet, along with the 135,280,651 outstanding at August 31, 2019. The Company's convertible notes and warrants are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as they are anti-dilutive due to the Company's losses for the years ended August 31, 2019 and 2018.
Dividends
As discussed in Note 5 – Stockholders Equity (Deficit), during the year ended August 31, 2018, the Company issued preferred stock which accrues dividends at a rate of 5% annually. There was $23,695 and $4,192 of dividends payable at August 31, 2019 and August 31, 2018, respectively. The dividends have not been declared and are accrued in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as a result of a contractual obligation in the Company’s preferred stock offering.
Advertising Costs
The Company’s policy regarding advertising is to expense advertising when incurred. The Company incurred advertising costs totaling $94,443 and $61,812 during the years ended August 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with the fair value recognition provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 718 and No. 505. After December 15, 2018, the scope of Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, was expanded to include share-based payments issued to nonemployees for goods and services. The Company issues restricted stock to employees and consultants for their services. Cost for these transactions are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments issued at the date of grant. These shares are considered fully vested and the fair market value is recognized as expense in the period granted. The Company recognized consulting expenses and a corresponding increase to additional paid-in-capital related to stock issued for services. For agreements requiring future services, the consulting expense is to be recognized ratably over the requisite service period.
There was $18,775 and $-0- of stock-based compensation during the years ended August 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Related Parties
The registrant follows subtopic 850-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.
Pursuant to Section 850-10-20 the Related parties include (a) affiliates of the registrant; (b) entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of Section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; (c) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; (d) principal owners of the registrant; (e) management of the registrant; (f) other parties with which the registrant may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and (g) Other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In August 2018, the SEC adopted the final rule under SEC Release No. 33-10532, ”Disclosure Update and Simplification,” amending certain disclosure requirements that were redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated or superseded. In addition, the amendments expanded the disclosure requirements on the analysis of stockholders’ equity for interim financial statements. Under the amendments, an analysis of changes in each caption of stockholders’ equity presented in the balance sheet must be provided in a note or separate statement. This analysis should present a reconciliation of the beginning balance to the ending balance of each period for which a statement of comprehensive income is required to be filed. This final rule was effective as of November 5, 2018. The adoption of this final rule did not have a material impact on the financial statements.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, ”Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” which expands the scope of Topic 718 to include all share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from non-employees. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company elected to early-adopt this standard in the current period; the adoption of this standard did not impact the financial statements.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, ”Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash,” which provides amendments to current guidance to address the classifications and presentation of changes in restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. The effective date for the standard is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted the standard effective September 1, 2018; the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the financial statements.
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory.” The amendments in this update will require recognition of current and deferred income taxes resulting from an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. This update is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted the standard effective September 1, 2018; the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, ”Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326)” which introduces new guidance for the accounting for credit losses on instruments within its scope. The new guidance introduces an approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments. For trade receivables, the Company will be required to use a forward-looking expected loss model rather than the incurred loss model for recognizing credit losses which reflects losses that are probable. Credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities will also be recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than as a reduction in the amortized cost basis of the securities. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2019, including interim periods within those years. Early application of the guidance is permitted for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including the interim periods within those fiscal years. Application of the amendments is through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the effective date. The Company does not expect the adoption of this final rule to have a material impact on the financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” which supersedes the guidance in ASC 840, ”Leases.” The purpose of the new standard is to improve transparency and comparability related to the accounting and reporting of leasing arrangements. The guidance will require balance sheet recognition for assets and liabilities associated with rights and obligations created by leases with terms greater than twelve months. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those years. Although the standard initially required the modified retrospective approach for adoption, in July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-18, allowing companies to initially apply the new lease requirements at the effective date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this final rule to have a material impact on the financial statements.
In February 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2018-02, Income Statement Reporting, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220). Effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the amendments in this Update is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, (1) for public business entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued and (2) for all other entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance. The amendments in this Update should be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period (or periods) in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is recognized. The adoption of this guidance by the Company is not expected to have a material impact on our condensed financial statements and related disclosures.
Management believes recently issued accounting pronouncements will have no impact on the financial statements of the Company.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable balances are established for amounts owed to the Company from its customers from the sale of products. The Company closely monitors the collectability of outstanding accounts receivable and provide an allowance for doubtful accounts based on estimated collections of outstanding amounts. There were $-0- and $428 outstanding accounts receivable as of August 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Trademark
During the period ended August 31, 2017, a related party incurred total costs of $2,800 to acquire five trademarks on behalf of the Company. Trademark costs are capitalized as incurred to the extent the Company expects the costs incurred to result in a trademark being awarded. The trademarks are deemed to have an indefinite life and are reviewed for impairment loss considerations annually. At August 31, 2019, two of the trademarks for $1,120 were deemed impaired and were written off in the accompanying statement of operations. As of August 31, 2019, and 2018, respectively, the Company had trademarks totaling $1,680 and $2,800, respectively.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the Fiscal Years Ended August 31, 2019 and 2018
For the year ended August 31, 2019, we generated $79,246 in revenues, and the cost of revenues was $129,337. For the year ended August 31, 2018, we generated $16,771 in revenues, and the cost of revenues was $81,025.
For the year ended August 31, 2019, we incurred operating expenses of $617,896, consisting of advertising expense of $94,443, consulting fees of $69,592, general and administrative expenses of $163,129, professional fees of $270,837, stock compensation expense of $18,775, and impairment expense of $1,120.
For the year ended August 31, 2018, we incurred operating expenses of $371,864, consisting of advertising expense of $61,812, consulting fees of $72,349, general and administrative expenses of $103,881, and professional fees of $133,822.
Expenses increase approximately 66% from August 31, 2018 to August 31, 2019, which was due primarily to an increase of an approximately 53% in advertising expenses, an approximately 53% increase in general and administrative expenses, and an approximately 102% increase in professional fees and.
We incurred net losses of $170,067 and $975,524 for the years ended August 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The following table provides selected financial data about our company at August 31, 2019 and 2018.

GOING CONCERN
To date the Company only generated nominal revenues and consequently has incurred recurring losses from operations. We do not have sufficient funds to support our daily operations for the next 12 months. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on raising capital to fund our business plan and ultimately to attain profitable operations. Accordingly, these factors raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company is attempting to commence operations and generate sufficient revenue; however, the Company’s cash position may not be sufficient to support its daily operations. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to commence operations and generate sufficient revenue and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenue and its ability to raise additional funds by way of a public or private offering.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At August 31, 2019, we had a cash balance of $18,975, total current liabilities of approximately $224,053. Such cash amount of $18,975 is not sufficient to continue our 12-month plan of operation. We will need to raise funds to continue our 12-month plan of operation and fund our ongoing operational expenses. Additional funding will likely come from equity financing from the sale of our common stock. If we are successful in completing equity financing, existing shareholders will experience dilution of their interest in our Company. We do not have any financing arranged and we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock to fund our 12-month plan of operation and ongoing operational expenses. In the absence of such financing, our business will likely fail. There are no assurances that we will be able to achieve further sales of our common stock or any other form of additional financing. If we are unable to achieve the financing necessary to continue our plan of operations, then we will not be able to continue our 12-month plan of operation and our business will fail.
PLAN OF OPERATION
We have only realized nominal revenues from our business. In the next 12 months, we plan to identify business to whom we can license our brand name.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Gridiron BioNutrients, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Gridiron BioNutrients, Inc. (“the Company”) as of August 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended August 31, 2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of August 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended August 31, 2019, respectively, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Consideration of the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3, the Company has an accumulated deficit and net losses from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2017.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
August 31, 2019
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Gridiron BioNutrients, Inc. (the “Company” or “Gridiron”) was formed under the laws of the state of Nevada on July 20, 2017 to develop and distribute a retail line of health water infused with probiotics and minerals. The Company has elected an August 31st year end.
Acquisition and Reverse Merger
On October 10, 2017, the Company completed a reverse merger with My Cloudz, Inc. (“My Cloudz”) pursuant to which the Company merged into My Cloudz on October 10, 2017. Under the terms of the merger, the Company shareholders received 70,000,000 common shares of My Cloudz common stock such that the Company shareholders received approximately 57% of the total common shares issued and outstanding following the merger. Due to the nominal assets and limited operations of My Cloudz prior to the merger, the transaction was accorded reverse recapitalization accounting treatment under the provision of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) 805 whereby the Company became the accounting acquirer (legal acquiree) and My Cloudz was treated as the accounting acquiree (legal acquirer). The historical financial records of the Company are those of the accounting acquirer (GridIron) adjusted to reflect the legal capital of the accounting acquiree (My Cloudz). As the transaction was treated as a recapitalization, no intangibles, including goodwill, were recognized. Concurrent with the effective date of the reverse recapitalization transaction, the Company adopted the fiscal year end of the accounting acquirer of August 31.
At the date of acquisition, My Cloudz had $3,972 of cash, $1,105 of accounts payable and a related party payable of $75,907. Book values for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed equaled fair values as of the date of acquisition.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
This summary of accounting policies for Gridiron is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP” accounting) and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates are used when accounting for fair value calculations related to embedded conversion features of outstanding convertible notes payable.
Cash
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents to the extent the funds are not being held for investment purposes. The Company had $18,975 and $774,468 of cash and cash equivalents as of August 31, 2019 and 2018. As of August 31, 2018, the Company held cash of $524,468 with one financial institution in excess of the FDIC insured limit of $250,000.
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenue under ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” (“ASC 606”). The core principle of the revenue standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods and services transferred to the customer.
Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services and is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration that an entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The amount of revenue that is recorded reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods. The Company applies the following five-step model in order to determine this amount: (i) identification of the promised goods in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods are performance obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation.
The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods transfers to the customer. Once a contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606 at contract inception, the Company reviews the contract to determine which performance obligations the Company must deliver and which of these performance obligations are distinct. The Company recognizes as revenues the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when the performance obligation is satisfied or as it is satisfied. Generally, the Company’s performance obligations are transferred to customers at a point in time, typically upon delivery.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value of certain of the Company’s financial instruments including cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payable, and other accrued liabilities approximate cost because of their short maturities. The Company measures and reports fair value in accordance with ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value investments.
Fair value, as defined in ASC 820, is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value of an asset should reflect its highest and best use by market participants, principal (or most advantageous) markets, and an in-use or an in-exchange valuation premise. The fair value of a liability should reflect the risk of nonperformance, which includes, among other things, the Company’s credit risk.
Valuation techniques are generally classified into three categories: the market approach; the income approach; and the cost approach. The selection and application of one or more of the techniques may require significant judgment and are primarily dependent upon the characteristics of the asset or liability, and the quality and availability of inputs. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under ASC 820 must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. ASC 820 also provides fair value hierarchy for inputs and resulting measurement as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that are supported by little or no market activity, and that are significant to the fair values.
Fair value measurements are required to be disclosed by the Level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements in their entirety fall. Fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (in Level 3 measurements) are subject to expanded disclosure requirements including a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances, separately presenting changes during the period attributable to the following: (i) total gains or losses for the period (realized and unrealized), segregating those gains or losses included in earnings, and a description of where those gains or losses included in earning are reported in the statement of income.
As discussed in Note 9 – Derivative Liability, the Company valued its derivative liability using Level 3 inputs as of August 31, 2019 and August 31, 2018. The Company did not identify any additional assets or liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value in accordance with ASC 825-10 as of August 31, 2019 and 2018.
Derivative Liabilities
The Company generally does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow or market risks. However, certain other financial instruments, such as warrants and embedded conversion features on the convertible debt, are classified as derivative liabilities due to protection provisions within the agreements. Convertible notes payable are initially recorded at fair value using the Monte Carlo model and subsequently adjusted to fair value at the close of each reporting period. The preferred stock warrants are initially recorded at fair value using the Black Scholes model and subsequently adjusted to fair value at the close of each reporting period. The Company accounts for derivative instruments and debt instruments in accordance with the interpretive guidance of ASC 815, ASU 2017-11, and associated pronouncements related to the classification and measurement of warrants and instruments with conversion features.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the assets and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Use of net operating loss carry forwards for income tax purposes may be limited by Internal Revenue Code section 382 if a change of ownership occurs.
Principals of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements represent the results of Gridiron BioNutrients, Inc, its wholly owned subsidiary, Gridiron Ventures and the assets, processes, and results therefrom. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. All financial information has been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are carried at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed in the period incurred. Renewals and betterments that materially extend the life of the assets are capitalized. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in income for the period.
Depreciation is computed for financial statement purposes on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of the related assets and the modified accelerated cost recovery system for federal income tax purposes. The estimated useful lives of depreciable assets are:

Inventories
Inventories consist of raw materials, packing materials, bottled water and concentrates, capsules, gummy products, drops and other items and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the first‑in, first‑out method. The Company periodically assesses the recoverability of its inventory and reduces the carrying value of the inventory when items are determined to be obsolete, defective or in excess of forecasted sales requirements. Inventory write‑downs for excess, defective and obsolete inventory are recorded as a cost of revenue. During August 2019, the Company wrote-off $40,136 of expired inventory, The Company did not have any other write downs of inventory during the years ended August 31, 2019 and 2018. Inventory balances were $203,563 and $53,110 as of August 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Basic Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. The conversion of preferred shares, warrants and convertible debt to common shares could potentially bring the number of common shares to a total of approximately 194,000,000. The preferred conversion and warrants would account for approximately 51,394,000 additional shares, the convertible debt would account for approximately 7,096,900 additions shares and an additional 228,571 that have not been issued yet, along with the 135,280,651 outstanding at August 31, 2019. The Company's convertible notes and warrants are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as they are anti-dilutive due to the Company's losses for the years ended August 31, 2019 and 2018.
Dividends
As discussed in Note 5 – Stockholders Equity (Deficit), during the year ended August 31, 2018, the Company issued preferred stock which accrues dividends at a rate of 5% annually. There was $23,695 and $4,192 of dividends payable at August 31, 2019 and August 31, 2018, respectively. The dividends have not been declared and are accrued in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as a result of a contractual obligation in the Company’s preferred stock offering.
Advertising Costs
The Company’s policy regarding advertising is to expense advertising when incurred. The Company incurred advertising costs totaling $94,443 and $61,812 during the years ended August 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with the fair value recognition provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 718 and No. 505. After December 15, 2018, the scope of Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, was expanded to include share-based payments issued to nonemployees for goods and services. The Company issues restricted stock to employees and consultants for their services. Cost for these transactions are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments issued at the date of grant. These shares are considered fully vested and the fair market value is recognized as expense in the period granted. The Company recognized consulting expenses and a corresponding increase to additional paid-in-capital related to stock issued for services. For agreements requiring future services, the consulting expense is to be recognized ratably over the requisite service period.
There was $18,775 and $-0- of stock-based compensation during the years ended August 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Related Parties

The disclosures shall include: (a) the nature of the relationship(s) involved; (b) description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; (c) the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and (d) amounts due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In August 2018, the SEC adopted the final rule under SEC Release No. 33-10532, ”Disclosure Update and Simplification,” amending certain disclosure requirements that were redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated or superseded. In addition, the amendments expanded the disclosure requirements on the analysis of stockholders’ equity for interim financial statements. Under the amendments, an analysis of changes in each caption of stockholders’ equity presented in the balance sheet must be provided in a note or separate statement. This analysis should present a reconciliation of the beginning balance to the ending balance of each period for which a statement of comprehensive income is required to be filed. This final rule was effective as of November 5, 2018. The adoption of this final rule did not have a material impact on the financial statements.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, ”Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” which expands the scope of Topic 718 to include all share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from non-employees. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company elected to early-adopt this standard in the current period; the adoption of this standard did not impact the financial statements.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, ”Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash,” which provides amendments to current guidance to address the classifications and presentation of changes in restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. The effective date for the standard is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted the standard effective September 1, 2018; the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the financial statements.
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory.” The amendments in this update will require recognition of current and deferred income taxes resulting from an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. This update is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted the standard effective September 1, 2018; the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, ”Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326)” which introduces new guidance for the accounting for credit losses on instruments within its scope. The new guidance introduces an approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments. For trade receivables, the Company will be required to use a forward-looking expected loss model rather than the incurred loss model for recognizing credit losses which reflects losses that are probable. Credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities will also be recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than as a reduction in the amortized cost basis of the securities. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2019, including interim periods within those years. Early application of the guidance is permitted for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including the interim periods within those fiscal years. Application of the amendments is through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the effective date. The Company does not expect the adoption of this final rule to have a material impact on the financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” which supersedes the guidance in ASC 840, ”Leases.” The purpose of the new standard is to improve transparency and comparability related to the accounting and reporting of leasing arrangements. The guidance will require balance sheet recognition for assets and liabilities associated with rights and obligations created by leases with terms greater than twelve months. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those years. Although the standard initially required the modified retrospective approach for adoption, in July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-18, allowing companies to initially apply the new lease requirements at the effective date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this final rule to have a material impact on the financial statements.
In February 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2018-02, Income Statement Reporting, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220). Effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the amendments in this Update is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, (1) for public business entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued and (2) for all other entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance. The amendments in this Update should be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period (or periods) in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is recognized. The adoption of this guidance by the Company is not expected to have a material impact on our condensed financial statements and related disclosures.
Management believes recently issued accounting pronouncements will have no impact on the financial statements of the Company.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable balances are established for amounts owed to the Company from its customers from the sale of products. The Company closely monitors the collectability of outstanding accounts receivable and provide an allowance for doubtful accounts based on estimated collections of outstanding amounts. There were $-0- and $428 outstanding accounts receivable as of August 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Trademark
During the period ended August 31, 2017, a related party incurred total costs of $2,800 to acquire five trademarks on behalf of the Company. Trademark costs are capitalized as incurred to the extent the Company expects the costs incurred to result in a trademark being awarded. The trademarks are deemed to have an indefinite life and are reviewed for impairment loss considerations annually. At August 31, 2019, two of the trademarks for $1,120 were deemed impaired and were written off in the accompanying statement of operations. As of August 31, 2019, and 2018, respectively, the Company had trademarks totaling $1,680 and $2,800, respectively.
NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN
The Company’s 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. The Company had a net loss of $170,067 for the year ended August 31, 2019. The Company has working capital deficit of $24,096 and an accumulated deficit of $1,213,559 as of August 31, 2019. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The ability of the Company to fully commence its operations is dependent upon, among other things, obtaining additional financing to continue operations, and execution of its business plan. In response to these concerns, management plans to fund operations through additional debt and equity financing. Debt instruments may be convertible or non-convertible and will vary based on the Company’s needs and financing options available at such times. There can be no assurance that management’s plan will be successful.

NOTE 4 – NOTES PAYABLES
Short-Term Notes Payable
As of August 31, 2019, and 2018, the Company had two notes payable with a principal balance of $49,500, owed to two separate noteholders. Each note payable is unsecured with one bearing interest at 5% and the other at 0% respectively. The Company had an outstanding accrued interest balance of $1,014 and $475 as of August 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, which has been included in the consolidated balance sheets under accounts payable and accrued expenses.
Convertible Notes Payable
On August 27, 2019, the Company signed a convertible promissory note with an investor. The $30,000 note was issued with an original issue discount of $3,000 and bears interest at 10% per year. The note principal and interest are convertible into shares of common stock at a 25% discount to the lowest traded price of the Company’s common stock during the 10 prior trading days including the day the notice of conversion is received by the Company. The note matures on February 27, 2020. The note has a prepayment penalty of 110% of the principal and interest outstanding if repaid before 180 days from issuance. After February 27, 2020, the payment premium increases to 125% of the principal and interest outstanding and if in default, the payment premium increases to 140% of the principal and interest outstanding. The original issue discount is amortized through the term of the note. The unpaid balance including accrued interest was $30,033 at August 31, 2019. At August 31, 2019, the outstanding principle balances, net of original issue debt discount of $2,951 was $27,049.
The conversion features meets the definition of a derivative liability instrument because the conversion rate is variable and therefore does not meet the “fixed-for-fixed” criteria outlined in ASC 815-40-15. As a result, the conversion features of the notes are recorded as a derivative liability at fair value and marked-to-market each period with the changes in fair value each period charged or credited to other income (expense). See Note 9 - Derivative Liability, for a further discussion.
The Company recorded interest expense on the original issue debt discount of $49 for the year ended August 31, 2019, in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
NOTE 5 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

NOTE 7 – INCOME TAXES
The Company’s policy is to provide for deferred income taxes based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) legislation reduces the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35.0% to 21.0% and is effective June 22, 2018 for the Company. We did not provide any current or deferred U.S. federal income tax provision or benefit for any of the periods presented because we have experienced operating losses since inception. When it is more likely than not that a tax asset cannot be realized through future income the Company must allow for this future tax benefit. We provided a full valuation allowance on the net deferred tax asset, consisting of net operating loss carryforwards, because management has determined that it is more likely than not that we will not earn income sufficient to realize the deferred tax assets during the carryforward period.
The Company is not aware of any uncertain tax position that, if challenged, would have a material effect on the financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2019 or during the prior three years applicable under FASB ASC 740. We did not recognize any adjustment to the liability for uncertain tax position and therefore did not record any adjustment to the beginning balance of accumulated deficit on the consolidated balance sheet. All tax returns for the Company remain open for examination.

NOTE 8 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company could become a party to various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. Matters that are probable of unfavorable outcomes to the Company and which can be reasonably estimated are accrued. Such accruals are based on information known about the matters, the Company’s estimates of the outcomes of such matters and its experience in contesting, litigating and settling similar matters. As of the date of this report, there are no pending legal proceedings to which the Company is a party or of which any of their property is the subject, nor are there any such proceedings known to be contemplated by governmental authorities.
There was a bank account set up during the third quarter of 2019 to work in conjunction with a marketing company in the name of Green Money Enterprises, LLC. The arrangement allowed for merchant services payments to flow to this account and day to day expenses for marketing and consulting services to be accessed and for Green Money Enterprises to access this account per those expenses. In March 2019, the representative from Green Money Enterprises whom had the authority to access the bank account took various withdrawals from the account totaling $19,104. They were not authorized to take this money from the account and have since paid back $6,500 of the original $19,104. The net amount of these is recorded within the general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. The Company is contemplating legal action against Green Money Enterprises for the money not paid back.
NOTE 9 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITY
Preferred Stock Warrants
As discussed in Note 6 – Stockholders’ Equity, the Company issued a total of 8,480,000 warrants to purchase common stock as part of its preferred stock offering. The warrants are exercisable for a period of three years at $0.165 per share. Additionally, the warrant holder is entitled to a cashless exercise after six months from issuance in which the holder is entitled to receive a number of shares equal to: [A] the number of outstanding warrant shares under the original issuance multiplied by [B] the greater of the trailing five day volume weighted average price less [A] the number of outstanding warrant shares under the original issuance multiplied by [C] the exercise price of the warrant under the original issuance divided by [D] the lesser of the arithmetic average of the volume weighted average price during the five trailing trading days or the volume weighted average price for the trading day immediately prior to the cashless exercise election. For clarity, the resulting formula is [(A x B) – (A x C)] / D.
The Company analyzed the conversion features of the cashless exercise feature in the warrants issued for derivative accounting consideration under ASC 815-15 “Derivatives and Hedging” and determined that the embedded features should be classified as a derivative liability because the exercise price of these warrants are subject to a variable rate. The Company has determined that warrants are not considered to be solely indexed to the Company’s own stock and is therefore not afforded equity treatment. In accordance with ASC 815, the Company has recorded a derivative liability.
Upon issuance, the Company valued the derivative using a Black-Scholes model yielding a total value of $674,012 which was expensed during the year ended August 31, 2018. The Company used the following assumptions upon initial measurement: value per common share of $0.09, a remaining life of 3.0 years, an exercise price of $0.165, a risk-free rate of 2.77% and volatility of 195%.

The Company revalued the derivative liability as of August 31, 2019 and recorded a gain of $504,898 on the change in fair value of derivative liabilities for the year then ended. The Company used the following assumptions upon initial measurement: value per common share of $0.0062, a remaining life of 1.92 years, an exercise price of $0.165, a risk-free rate of 1.5% and volatility of 236%.

Convertible Notes Payable
As discussed in Note 5 – Notes Payable, on August 27, 2019, the Company signed a $30,000 convertible promissory note with an investor. The note principal and interest are convertible into shares of common stock at a 25% discount to the lowest traded price of the Company’s common stock during the 10 prior trading days including the day the notice of conversion is received by the Company.
The Company analyzed the conversion feature and determine it meets the definition of a derivative liability instrument because the conversion rate is variable and therefore does not meet the “fixed-for-fixed” criteria outlined in ASC 815-40-15. As a result, the conversion features of the notes are recorded as a derivative liability at fair value and marked-to-market each period with the changes in fair value each period charged or credited to other income (expense).
Upon issuance, the Company valued the derivative using a Monte Carlo simulation model yielding a total value of $50,277 which was expensed during the year ended August 31, 2019. The Company used the following assumptions upon initial measurement: value per common share of $0.0089, a remaining life of 6 months, an exercise price of $0.00423, a risk-free rate of 1.98% and volatility of 287%. In addition, the Company calculated the derivative discount as the difference between the conversion price and the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of issuance. The original issue discount aggregated $27,000, and was recorded as derivative liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
The Company revalued the derivative liability as of August 31, 2019 and recorded a gain of $16,886 on the change in fair value of derivative liabilities for the year then ended. The Company used the following assumptions upon initial measurement: value per common share of $0.0062, a remaining life of 6 months, an exercise price of $0.00423, a risk-free rate of 1.99% and volatility of 297%.
Derivative Liability Summary
As of August 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, the Company had derivative liabilities totaling $39,381 and $537,889, respectively, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, and gain on change in fair value of the derivative liability of $521,784 and $136,123, respectively, in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.
NOTE 10 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On or about September 4, 2019, the Company signed an initial letter of intent with NanoPeak Performances, LLC with a subsequent addendum for the sale of the majority of its existing inventory as well as the exclusive license to Gridiron intellectual property. As of December 13, 2019, the two parties are still negotiating the terms of the contemplated transaction.
On, November 19, 2019, the Company issued 228,571 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock for the four separate common stock subscriptions granted during the year ended August 31, 2018. The stock subscriptions represented total cash proceeds of $160,000, which funded in the year ended December 31, 2018.
On November 25, 2019, the Company signed a convertible promissory note with an investor. The $140,000 note was issued with an original issue discount of $14,000 and bears interest at 10% per year. The note principal and interest are convertible into shares of common stock equal to the lower of 5% per share or 35% discount to the lowest traded price of the Company’s common stock during the 10 prior trading days including the day the notice of conversion is received by the Company. The note matures on May 25, 2020. The note has a prepayment penalty of 115% of the principal and interest outstanding if repaid more than 30 days after issuance. If the Company defaults on the note, the payment premium increases to 140% of the principal and interest outstanding.
In November 2019, the Company made a strategic decision to expand into the oil extraction business and on or about November 27, 2019, the Company signed a Supply Agreement with a grower to purchase 10,000 pounds of industrial hemp (biomass) and plans on processing the biomass into crude within the next 60 days. The Company anticipates a third party provider will process the biomass and generate 400 liters of crude with minimum 60% total cannabinoids (CBD). The estimated contract price is $100,000.
On December 13, 2019, the Company signed a Toll Processing Agreement with a corporation to process industrial hemp (biomass) into the CBD product. The contract is valued at $100,000.
The Company has evaluated all events occurring subsequently to these financial statements through December 17, 2019 and determined there were no other items to disclose.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE |
None.
DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, consisting solely of our President, who is our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we are responsible for conducting an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our internal controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the fiscal year covered by this report. Disclosure controls and procedures means that the material information required to be included in our Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms relating to our company, including any consolidating subsidiaries, and was made known to us by others within those entities, particularly during the period when this report was being prepared. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded as of the evaluation date that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of August 31, 2019.
MANAGEMENT’S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
As of August 31, 2019, management, consisting solely of our President, who is our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s President, who is our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, and effected by the Company’s Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:
| · | Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of our assets; |
| · | Provide reasonable assurance our transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and |
| · | Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statement. |
In evaluating the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, our management used the criteria set forth by the 2013 version of Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework. Based on that evaluation, completed only by Timothy Orr, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and a director, who also serves as our principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, Mr. Orr concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of US GAAP rules as more fully described below.
18 |
Table of Contents |
This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be considered to be material weaknesses. The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (i) lack of a functioning audit committee due to a lack of a majority of independent members and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (ii) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; and (iii) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by our President, who also serves as our principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, in connection with the review of our financial statements as of August 31, 2019.
Management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and the lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING.
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the year ended August 31, 2019 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
None.

ITEM 10. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE |
Our executive officers and directors and their respective ages as of the date of filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K are as follows:
Name | Age | Positions | ||
Timothy Orr | 48 | President, Secretary, Treasurer and director |
Timothy Orr
President, Secretary, Treasurer and director
Timothy Orr, age 48, has served as our President and a director since October 9, 2017. He has also served as Secretary and Treasurer since February 28, 2018. Mr. Orr has over 20 years of legal, business and public and private company experience. Mr. Orr’s law practice focuses on business formation and financing tailored to small and medium size companies. Mr. Orr has acted as outside counsel for publicly traded companies as well as private companies seeking equity financing for the expansion of their business. Additionally, since 2004, Mr. Orr has owned and operated Jameson Capital, LLC, a business development consulting services company. In 1994, Mr. Orr obtained a BA in Biology from Whitworth University, and in 1998, he obtained a JD from Gonzaga School of Law. Mr. Orr’s background as a lawyer and desire to participate in the management of GridIron BioNutrients, Inc. led to our conclusion that he should serve as a director in light of our business and structure.
TERM OF OFFICE
All directors hold office until the next annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified. The Company’s Bylaws provide that the Board of Directors will consist of no less than three members. Officers are elected by and serve at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Our board of directors is currently composed of one member, and such member does not qualify as independent directors in accordance with the published listing requirements of the NASDAQ Global Market (the Company has no plans to list on the NASDAQ Global Market). The NASDAQ independence definition includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not, and has not been for at least three years, one of our employees and that neither the director, nor any of his family members has engaged in various types of business dealings with us. In addition, our board of directors has not made a subjective determination as to our director that no relationships exist which, in the opinion of our board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director, though such subjective determination is required by the NASDAQ rules. Had our board of directors made these determinations, our board of directors would have reviewed and discussed information provided by our director and us with regard to our director’s business and personal activities and relationships as they may relate to us and our management.

Table of Contents |
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
We have no employment agreement with any person.
INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENTS
Timothy Orr, our President, Secretary, Treasurer and a director has entered into an Indemnification Agreement dated October 9, 2017, with the Company, pursuant to which the Company agreed to indemnify him for claims against each of them that may arise in connection with the performance of his duties as an officer or director for the Company.
FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS
No family relationships exist between Timothy Orr, our President, Secretary, Treasurer and a director and any other person who is an affiliate of the Company.
CERTAIN LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
No director, person nominated to become a director, executive officer, promoter or control person of our company has, during the last ten years: (i) been convicted in or is currently subject to a pending a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); (ii) been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to any federal or state securities or banking or commodities laws including, without limitation, in any way limiting involvement in any business activity, or finding any violation with respect to such law, nor (iii) any bankruptcy petition been filed by or against the business of which such person was an executive officer or a general partner, whether at the time of the bankruptcy or for the two years prior thereto.
SIGNIFICANT EMPLOYEES AND CONSULTANTS
Other than our officers and directors, we currently have no other significant employees.
AUDIT COMMITTEE AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Since we do not have an audit or compensation committee comprised of independent directors, the functions that would have been performed by such committees are performed by our directors. The Board of Directors has not established an audit committee and does not have an audit committee financial expert, nor has the Board of Directors established a nominating committee. The Board is of the opinion that such committees are not necessary since the Company is an early development stage company and has only one director, and to date, such director has been performing the functions of such committees. Thus, there is a potential conflict of interest in that our directors and officers have the authority to determine issues concerning management compensation, nominations, and audit issues that may affect management decisions.
There are no family relationships among our directors or officers. Other than as described above, we are not aware of any other conflicts of interest with any of our executive officers or directors.
SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities, file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Executive officers, directors and greater-than-ten percent stockholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based on our review of filings made on the SEC website, and the fact of us not receiving certain forms or written representations from certain reporting persons that they have complied with the relevant filing requirements, we believe that, during the year ended August 31, 2019, our executive officers, directors and greater-than-ten percent stockholders complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements.

Table of Contents |
STOCKHOLDER COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
We have not implemented a formal policy or procedure by which our stockholders can communicate directly with our Board of Directors. Nevertheless, every effort has been made to ensure that the views of stockholders are heard by the Board of Directors or individual directors, as applicable, and that appropriate responses are provided to stockholders in a timely manner. We believe that we are responsive to stockholder communications, and therefore have not considered it necessary to adopt a formal process for stockholder communications with our Board. During the upcoming year, our Board will continue to monitor whether it would be appropriate to adopt such a process.
CODE OF ETHICS
The Company has not adopted a code of ethics that applies to its principal executive officers, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions.

The following table lists, as of the date of this Form 10-K, the number of shares of common stock of our Company that are beneficially owned by (i) each person or entity known to our Company to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding common stock; (ii) each officer and director of our Company; and (iii) all officers and directors as a group. Information relating to beneficial ownership of common stock by our principal shareholders and management is based upon information furnished by each person using “beneficial ownership” concepts under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Under these rules, a person is deemed to be a beneficial owner of a security if that person has or shares voting power, which includes the power to vote or direct the voting of the security, or investment power, which includes the power to vote or direct the voting of the security. The person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any security of which that person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days. Under the Securities and Exchange Commission rules, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities, and a person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities as to which he or she may not have any pecuniary beneficial interest. Except as noted below, each person has sole voting and investment power.
The percentages below are calculated based on 135,509,220 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding as of the date of this Form 10-K. We do not have any outstanding warrant, options or other securities exercisable for or convertible into shares of our common stock.
