GLOBAL DIVERSIFIED MARKETING GROUP INC.
NOTES TO THE (UNAUDITED) CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 AND 2021
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Business
Global Diversified Marketing Group Inc. (the “Company”), formerly known as Dense Forest Acquisition Corporation, was incorporated in Delaware on December 1, 2017, and changed its name on June 13, 2018, as part of a change in control. As part of the change in control, its then officers and directors resigned and contributed back to the Company shares of the outstanding shares of its common stock, $ par value per share (the “Common Stock”), and appointed new officers and directors. On June 14, 2018, the new management of the Company issued 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 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 nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 is reflected in these 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.
On August 31, 2022, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with InPlay Capital Inc., a Delaware corporation (“InPlay”), pursuant to which, on the same date, the Company purchased from InPlay all of the assets used in the operation and conduct of its business relating to the online home fitness store known as “The Hula Fit”, including the Shopify Store and the TikTok, Facebook and Google ad accounts, for a purchase price of $50,000. Paul Adler, the sole executive officer and a director of the Company, and the Company’s majority stockholder, is also the sole officer, director, and 100% stockholder of InPlay.
Basis of Presentation
The 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. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the presentation in the current year. The Company has adopted a December 31 year-end.
Management’s Representation of Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company uses the same accounting policies in preparing quarterly and annual financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted as allowed by such rules and regulations, and management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These condensed consolidated financial statements include all of the adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary to a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying 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.
F-6 |
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
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the fair value method following the guidance outlined in Section 718-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosure about Stock-Based Compensation. This Section requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award- the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 stock-based compensation was $ and $ respectively.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with the original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. On September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company had $177,679 and $312,574, respectively of cash.
Factoring
The Company accounts for the transfer of our accounts receivable to a third party under a factoring agreement in accordance with ASC 860-10-40-5 “Transfers and Servicing”. ASC 860-10 requires that several conditions be met in order to present the transfer of accounts receivable as a sale. Even though we have isolated the transferred (sold) assets and we have the legal right to transfer our assets (accounts receivable) we do not meet the third test of effective control since our accounts receivable sales agreement with the factor requires us to be liable in the event of default by one of our customers. Because we do not meet all three conditions, we do not qualify for sale treatment and our debt incurred with respect to the sale of our accounts receivable is presented as a loan payable in on our consolidated balance sheet. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the amounts due to factors in both periods was $-0-.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are generated from sales of snack food products to retail outlets throughout the United States. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and adjusts credit limits based on customer payment and current creditworthiness, as determined by 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 are 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 nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021 was $-0- and $-0-, respectively; the allowance for doubtful accounts on September 30, 2022, and 2021 was $-0- and $-0-, respectively.
Inventory
Inventory consists of snack food products and packaging supplies, and are stated at the lower of cost or market.
F-7 |
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets. Maintenance, repairs, and renewals that do not materially add to the value of the equipment nor appreciably prolong its useful life are charged to expense as incurred.
Revenue Recognition
Beginning January 1, 2018, the Company implemented ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Although the new revenue standard is expected to have an immaterial impact, if any, on our ongoing net income, we did implement changes to our processes related to revenue recognition and the control activities within them. These included the development of new policies based on the five-step model provided in the new revenue standard, ongoing contract review requirements, and gathering of information provided for disclosures.
The Company recognizes revenue from product sales or services rendered when control of the promised goods are transferred to our clients in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. To achieve this core principle we apply the following five steps: identify the contract with the client, identify the performance obligations in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract and recognize revenues when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation.
Advertising and Marketing Costs
The Company’s policy regarding advertising and marketing is to record the expense when incurred. The Company incurred advertising and marketing expenses of $34,430 and $160,893 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, 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.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the future economic benefit arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. The goodwill arising from our acquisitions is attributable to the value of the potential expanded market opportunity with new customers. Intangible assets have either an identifiable or indefinite useful life. Intangible assets with identifiable useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their economic or legal life, whichever is shorter.
F-8 |
Goodwill and indefinite-lived assets are not amortized but are subject to annual impairment testing unless circumstances dictate more frequent assessments. We perform an annual impairment assessment for goodwill and indefinite-lived assets during the fourth quarter of each year and more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of the asset may be less than the carrying amount. Goodwill impairment testing is a two-step process performed at the reporting unit level. Step one compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount. The fair value of the reporting unit is determined by considering both the income approach and market approaches. The fair values calculated under the income approach and market approaches are weighted based on circumstances surrounding the reporting unit. Under the income approach, we determine fair value based on estimated future cash flows of the reporting unit, which are discounted to the present value using discount factors that consider the timing and risk of cash flows. For the discount rate, we rely on the capital asset pricing model approach, which includes an assessment of the risk-free interest rate, the rate of return from publicly traded stocks, our risk relative to the overall market, our size and industry and other Company-specific risks. Other significant assumptions used in the income approach include the terminal value, growth rates, future capital expenditures and changes in future working capital requirements. The market approaches use key multiples from guideline businesses that are comparable and are traded on a public market. If the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, there is no impairment. If the reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, then the second step must be completed to measure the amount of impairment, if any. Step two calculates the implied fair value of goodwill by deducting the fair value of all tangible and intangible net assets of the reporting unit from the fair value of the reporting unit as calculated in step one. In this step, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the reporting unit’s assets and liabilities in a hypothetical purchase price allocation as if the reporting unit had been acquired on that date. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess.
Indefinite-lived intangible assets are evaluated for impairment at the individual asset level by assessing whether it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired (for example, that the fair value of the asset is below its carrying amount). If it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired, its carrying amount is written down to its fair value.
Determining the fair value of a reporting unit is judgmental in nature and requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including revenue growth rates, strategic plans, and future market conditions, among others. There can be no assurance that our estimates and assumptions made for purposes of the goodwill impairment testing will prove to be accurate predictions of the future. Changes in assumptions and estimates could cause us to perform an impairment test prior to scheduled annual impairment tests.
On September 30, 2022 we conducted an impairment analysis and determined that our purchase of Hula fit was fully impaired. As a result we record an impairment loss of $50,000 for the period ended September 30, 2022
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 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 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. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, Company had a balance of $1,895 in accumulated other comprehensive income which arose from unrealized gain due to foreign currency fluctuations.

Overview
The Company was incorporated on December 1, 2017 as a Delaware corporation under the name “Dense Forest Acquisition Corporation.” On November 26, 2018, the Company effected the acquisition of Global Diversified Holdings, Inc., a private New York snack and gourmet food company (GDHI), pursuant to which Company acquired the operations and business plan of GDHI, and GDHI became our wholly-owned subsidiary.
On August 31, 2022, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with InPlay Capital Inc., a Delaware corporation (“InPlay”), pursuant to which, on the same date, the Company purchased from InPlay all of the assets used in the operation and conduct of its business relating to the online home fitness store known as “The Hula Fit”, including the Shopify Store and the TikTok, Facebook and Google ad accounts, for a purchase price of $50,000 (the “Assets”). Paul Adler, the sole executive officer and a director of the Company, and the Company’s majority stockholder, is also the sole officer, director, and 100% stockholder of InPlay.
The Company is focused on developing and marketing products that appeal to consumers’ growing preference for healthy snack food and operates through snacks segments offering Italian Wafers, French Madeleines, Italian Croissants, Macaron Cookies, Wafer Pralines, and other wholesome snacks. In this regard, it intends to develop additional gourmet foods and snack products under its trademarked brands and to expand the Company’s offering portfolio by identifying, producing and marketing new products.

With respect to its new The Hula Fit fitness equipment and athletic apparel business, the Company will continue utilizing The Hula Fit’s dropship business model where stocking inventory in the Company’s warehouse is not required and where orders are drop shipped directly to customers, which allows it to efficiently manage this business.
The Company’s management believes that the strategy of acquiring small brands regional distribution brands and acquiring more e-commerce brand assets will diversify its current business and increase its business operation results.
Results of Operations
The information set forth below should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
The information set forth below should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2022 and 2021
Revenue and Cost of Sales
During the three months ended September 30, 2022, our revenues were $394,924 compared to $732,601 during the period ended September 30, 2021, a significant decrease of $337,667 or a decrease of approximately 47.1%. The decrease is attributable to lower demand and delays at the port of New York in receiving containers of the Company’s product.
Cost of sales was $345,924 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $451,069 for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in cost of sales is due to decreased sales levels. Gross profit margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was 12.5% compared to 38.4 % during the same three month period in 2021. The significant decrease in gross profit margins in the 2022 period is attributable to increased shipping and inventory costs. Additionally, the Company sold approximately $73,000 in slow moving inventory below cost. Excluding those sales of inventory below cost, the gross margin would have been approximately 20.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2022.
Operating expenses
During the three months ended September 30, 2022 our operating expenses were $414,763 compared to $304,059 during the three months ended September 30, 2021. Excluding stock based compensation in both periods operating expenses were $337,395 and $279,859, respectively for the periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The primary reason for the increase in operating expenses excluding stock based compensation in both periods is due to the impairment of $50,000 in intangible assets related to the purchase of Hula Fit.
Other Expense
Other expense was comprised solely of interest expense which amounted to $2,657 during the period ended September 30, 2022 compared to $4,905 during the same three month period ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in interest expenses is due to lower levels of factoring required due to the Company’s improved profitability.
Net (Loss) Income
As a result of the foregoing the net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $367,904 compared to a net loss of $27,432 for the three months ended September 30, 2021.
Comparison of Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 and 2021
Revenue and Cost of Sales
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, our revenues were $1,288,532 compared to $2,112,580 during the period ended September 30, 2021, a decrease of $824,048. The decrease is attributable to a one-time order from a major club store chain in the first quarter of 2021 without as comparable order in 2022, due to logistics and shipping issues as well as transitioning from a public warehouse to our own warehousing facility.
5 |
Cost of sales was $981,024 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $1,256,778 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in cost of sales is due to significantly decreased sales levels. Gross profit margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was 23.9% compared to 40.5% during the same nine month period in 2021. The significant decrease gross profit margin percentage in 2022 is attributable to increased shipping and inventory costs.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we had five customers that represented 91% of our business, compared to five customers that represented 99% of our business during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The loss of any these customers could have a material adverse impact on our business.
Operating expenses
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 our operating expenses were $1,158,400 compared to $1,654,585 during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Excluding stock based compensation in both periods operating expenses were $946,140 and $870,326 respectively for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively. The primary reasons for the increase in operating expenses excluding stock based compensation in both periods is due to an increase in payroll and rent expenses, a $50,000 impairment charge related to the purchase of Hula Fit, partially offset by a reduction in SG&A expenses.
Net loss
As a result of the foregoing the net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $647,899 compared to a net loss of $25,851 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2022 we had $177,679 in cash and cash equivalents compared to $312,574 in cash as of September 30, 2021.
Net cash used in operating activities decreased to $197,805 in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $367,602 during the same period in 2021. The decrease in cash used in operating is primarily due to an increased loss, net of stock based compensation in 2022 in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, more than offset by a reduction in inventory levels over the prior year.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $112,911 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $705,114 in the same nine month period ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in net cash provided in 2022 is primarily due to $379,165 in government loans and $300,000 in proceeds from private placements in 2021 compared $-0-
The Company has historically financed its operations through the cash flow generated from operations, capital investment, notes payable and factoring and has recently financed its operations through SBA COVID-19 loans, capital investment, notes payable, and factoring. The Company believes it qualifies for additional SBA loans however there can be no assurance that these loans will be received, on the timing and at what level or terms, the financing will occur.
In the event continuing decreased sales and profits contain, our ability to obtain additional financing or factoring for our receivables could be negatively impacted which could have a material adverse impact on our liquidity or our ability to remain as a going concern.

Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for the twelve-month period following the date of these financial statements. On a consolidated basis, we have incurred significant operating losses since inception. The Company’s independent auditor has indicated substantial doubt about the Company continuing as a going concern based on the Company’s accumulated deficit and accrued liabilities. Our ability to continue our operations as a going concern, realize the carrying value of our assets, and discharge our liabilities in the normal course of business is dependent upon our ability to raise capital sufficient to fund our commitments and ongoing losses, and ultimately generate profitable operations. If we cannot obtain needed funds, we may be forced to reduce or cease our activities with consequent loss to investors. In addition, should we incur significant presently unforeseen expenses or delays, we may not be able to accomplish our goals. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We continually evaluate the accounting policies and estimates used to prepare the financial statements. The estimates are based on historical experience and assumptions believed to be reasonable under current facts and circumstances. Actual amounts and results could differ from these estimates made by management. Certain accounting policies that require significant management estimates and are deemed critical to our results of operations or financial position. Our critical accounting estimates are more fully discussed in Note 2 to our unaudited financial statements contained herein.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
Not applicable because we are an emerging growth company.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our president and principal financial officer, who is directly involved in the day-to-day operations of the Company, as of September 30, 2022, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2022 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act were recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Act Commission’s rules and forms and that our disclosure controls are effectively designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, including our Chief Financial Officer, do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdown can occur because of simple error or mistake. In particular, many of our current processes rely upon manual reviews and processes to ensure that neither human error nor system weakness has resulted in erroneous reporting of financial data.

As of September 30, 2022 our disclosure controls and procedures were determined to be effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the period covered by this Quarterly Report, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
