NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Business

Global Diversified Marketing Group, Inc. (the “Company”), formerly known as Dense Forest Acquisition Corporation, was incorporated in Delaware on December 1, 2017 and changed its name on September 13, 2018 as part of a change in control. As part of the change in control, its then officers and directors resigned and contributed back to the Company 19,500,000 shares of the 20,000,000 outstanding shares of its common stock, and appointed new officers and directors. On September 14, 2018 new management of the Company issued 12.500,000 shares of its common stock to Paul Adler, the then president of the Company.

On November 26, 2018 the Company effected the acquisition of Global Diversified Holdings, Inc. (“GDHI”), a private New York company owned by the Company’s president, with the issuance of 200 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of GDHI. GDHI became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and its activity for the periods presented are reflected in these unaudited consolidated financial statements along with the expenses of the Company.

Prior to the acquisition of GDHI, the Company had no business and no operations. Pursuant to the acquisition, the Company acquired the operations and business plan of GDHI, which imports and sells snack food products. For accounting purposes, GDHI is considered to be the acquirer, and the equity is presented as if the business combination had occurred on January 1, 2017.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are presented in US dollars. The Company has adopted a December 31 year end.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable from customers, accounts payable, and loans payable. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximates fair value due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these financial statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Stock-Based Compensation

As of September 30, 2019, the Company has not issued any share-based payments to its employees. Under the modified prospective method the Company uses, stock compensation expense includes compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted, based on the grant-date estimated fair value.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with the original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had $995 and $21,515 of cash.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are generated from sales of snack food products to retail outlets throughout the United States. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and adjusts credit limits based on customer payment and current credit worthiness, as determined by review of their current credit information. The Company continuously monitors credit limits for its customers and maintains a provision for estimated credit losses based on its historical experience and any specific customer issues that have been identified. An allowance for doubtful; accounts is provided against accounts receivable for amounts management believes may be uncollectible. The Company historically has not had issues collecting on its accounts receivable from its customers. The Company factors certain of its receivables to improve its cash flow.

Bad debt expense for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $0; the allowance for doubtful accounts at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was $0.

Inventory

Inventory consists of snack food products and packaging supplies, stated at the lower of cost or market.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets. Maintenance, repairs, and renewals that do not materially add to the value of the equipment nor appreciably prolong its useful life are charged to expense as incurred.

Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses

Accounts payable and accrued expenses are recorded at their stated value at the time the expense is incurred. The carrying amount of these payables approximates their fair value due to the short period to maturity of these payables.

Revenue Recognition

Beginning January 1, 2018, the Company implemented ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Although the new revenue standard is expected to have an immaterial impact, if any, on our ongoing net income, we did implement changes to our processes related to revenue recognition and the control activities within them. These included the development of new policies based on the five-step model provided in the new revenue standard, ongoing contract review requirements, and gathering of information provided for disclosures.

The Company recognizes revenue from product sales or services rendered when control of the promised goods are transferred to our clients in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. To achieve this core principle we apply the following five steps: identify the contract with the client, identify the performance obligations in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract and recognize revenues when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Advertising and Marketing Costs

The Company’s policy regarding advertising and marketing is to record the expense when incurred. The Company incurred advertising and marketing expenses of $7,376 and $2,329 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate carrying amounts of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances are present, the Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the total of the future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of those assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.

The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, with the consent of its stockholder, had elected to be taxed as an S Corporation under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Instead of paying federal corporate income taxes, the stockholder(s) of an S Corporation are taxed individually on their proportionate share of the Company’s taxable income. Therefore, prior to the business combination discussed above, the Company had made no provision for income taxes. Effective with the business combination, the wholly owned subsidiary became a C-corporation, and the loss incurred in 2018 for the period as a C-corporation approximated $270,000. See Note 7. The Company’s income tax returns are open for examination for up to the past three years under the statute of limitations. There are no tax returns currently under examination.

Comprehensive Income

The Company has which established standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. When applicable, the Company would disclose this information on its Statement of Stockholders’ Equity. Comprehensive income comprises equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. The Company has not had any significant transactions that are required to be reported in other comprehensive income.

Basic Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic income (loss) per share has been calculated based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Adoption of ASC 842 - On January 1, 2019, we adopted FASB Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 842, Leases, or ASC 842, which requires the recognition of the right-of-use assets and related operating and finance lease liabilities on the balance sheet. As permitted by ASC 842, we elected the adoption date of January 1, 2019, which is the date of initial application. As a result, the consolidated balance sheet prior to January 1, 2019 was not restated, continues to be reported under ASC Topic 840, Leases, or ASC 840, which did not require the recognition of operating lease liabilities on the

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

balance sheet, and is not comparative. Under ASC 842, all leases are required to be recorded on the balance sheet and are classified as either operating leases or finance leases. The lease classification affects the expense recognition in the income statement. Operating lease charges are recorded entirely in operating expenses. Finance lease charges are split, where amortization of the right-of-use asset is recorded in operating expenses and an implied interest component is recorded in interest expense. The expense recognition for operating leases and finance leases under ASC 842 is substantially consistent with ASC 840. As a result, there is no significant difference in our results of operations presented in our consolidated income statement for each period presented.

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

The Company does not expect the adoption of other recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

Going Concern

As of September 30, 2019, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $995 and an accumulated deficit of $62,997. Additionally, the Company had accounts payable and accrued expenses of $229,932. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financials have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. If the Company is in fact unable to continue as a going concern, the shareholders may lose some or all of their investment in the Company.

NOTE 2 – STOCK REDEMPTION PAYABLE

On September 7, 2016, the Company entered into a Stock Redemption and Purchase Agreement with a 50% shareholder to purchase back his 100 common shares. The shares had been purchased for $70,000 and the Company agreed to buy them back for $90,000. Payments required under the Agreement were $3,750 per month starting on January 2, 2017. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company owed $0.

NOTE 3 – CAPITAL STOCK

The Company has 100,000,000 shares of $.0001 par value common stock authorized. The Company has 13,010,200 and 13,340,200 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The Company has 20,000,000 shares of $.0001 par value preferred stock authorized. Preferred shares have not yet been issued.

NOTE 4 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company incurred wages of approximately $55,500 and $150,000, respectively, related to services provided to it by an officer/shareholder. During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company incurred consulting fees of $37,500 and $127,500, respectively, related to services provided to it by an officer/shareholder.

NOTE 5 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company entered into a 60 month lease agreement on October 1, 2016 to rent office space. The lease requires monthly payments of $1,600 for the first 24 months and after that increases by 3% each year, and contains one five year renewal option. Rental expenses under this lease for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $4,055, $8,110, $4,800 and $9,600, respectively. The lease also required an advance payment of $1,600 for the last month of rent as well as a $1,600 security deposit. The Company also pays rental charges for warehouse and storage space under a month-to-month agreement, with payments due calculated on a per pallet basis each month.

The right-of-use asset for operating leases at September 30, 2019 was comprised of the amount related to the office space lease without consideration of the renewal option, as it is not certain that the Company will renew the lease.

The following table reconciles the undiscounted cash flows for the operating lease at September 30, 2019 to the operating lease liability recorded on the balance sheet:

At September 30, 2019, the $26,570 present value of lease payments is classified as: current liability $20,217 and long-term liability $6,353.

NOTE 6 – LOANS PAYABLE

The Company had various loans outstanding at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 – all were short-term in nature, with varying rates of interest and fees, and no set minimum monthly payments, as follows:

NOTE 7 – INCOME TAXES

For the period ended September 30, 2019, the Company has incurred net losses and, therefore, has no tax liability.

The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary was an S-corporation for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2018. Had the subsidiary been a C-corporation for that nine month period, it would have incurred federal corporate income tax of approximately $10,000.

The Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 for the offer and sale of 2,500,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $2.00 per share.

Discussion of the Three and Nine Month Periods Ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018

Revenues and Losses

Sales for the three months ended September 30, 2019, of $366,354 were higher than sales for the similar quarter in 2018 of $250,627. The increase was primarily due to new product distribution and addition of new distribution partners.

For the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company had gross profits of $143,997 with operating expenses of $129,871 resulting in net income of $14,126 compared to gross profit for the similar period in 2018 of $87,054 with operating expenses of $106,981 resulting in a net loss of $(19,927). The increase in operating expenses was due primarily to additional payroll costs, professional fees, and interest expense.

Sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 of $1,040,644 were higher than sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 of $831,955, an increase of 25.1%. The increase was primarily due to the expansion of our product line and new distribution channels in 2019.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company had gross profits of $344,824 with operating expenses of $384,087 resulting in a loss of $(39,263) compared to gross profit for the similar period in 2018 of $319,340 with operating expenses of $290,599 resulting in net income of $28,741. The increase in operating expenses resulting in the loss for the period was due primarily to additional payroll costs, professional fees, and interest expense.

Total current liabilities for the period ended September 30, 2019 were $298,194 including $229,932 in accounts payable and accrued expenses compared to total current liabilities at December 31, 2018 of $357,909 .

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company has expanded their distribution by adding more customers and reducing its concentration of business from 100% to 93% of its four customers which is the result of the Company obtaining new customers in 2019.

Information not required to be filed by Smaller reporting companies.

Disclosures and Procedures

Pursuant to Rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rules. This evaluation was done as of the end of the period covered by this report.

The Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company’s sole officer, its president, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the period covered by this report under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer (who is also the principal financial officer) based on the criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013). Based on this evaluation, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of the date of review, based on those criteria. A control system can provide only reasonably, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues have been detected.

Management is also responsible to maintain records accurately and fairly to reflect transactions and transactions are recorded as necessary. The controls should provide reasonable assurance regarding the prevention of unauthorized acquisition or use of assets.

In the present case of the Company, management maintained sole control of all financial transactions and all assets. Since the president of the Company is in sole control of the financial transactions and assets management believes that its control reasonably and adequately addresses the risk of a misstatement in the financial reporting. Based upon that evaluation, the principal officer believes that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in gathering, analyzing and disclosing information needed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in its periodic reports is recorded, summarized and processed timely. The principal executive officer is directly involved in the day-to-day operations of the Company.

This Quarterly Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this Quarterly Report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that was identified in connection with such evaluation that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II–OTHER INFORMATION

There are no legal proceedings against the Global Diversified Marketing Group, Inc. (the “Company”) and the Company is unaware of any such proceedings contemplated against it.

For the period covered by this Report, the Company has not made any sales of equity securities not otherwise registered under the Securities Act.
