ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Item 1. Business
Overview
NetBrands Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated on December 1, 2017, as a Delaware corporation under the name “Dense Forest Acquisition Corporation.” On June 13, 2018, in anticipation of its acquisition of Global Diversified Holdings, Inc., a private New York snack and gourmet food company (“GDHI”), the Company changed its to “Global Diversified Marketing Group Inc.”
On November 26, 2018, the Company consummated the acquisition of GDHI (the “Acquisition”). Prior to the Acquisition, the Company had no business and no operations. Pursuant to the Acquisition, the Company acquired the operations and business plan of GDHI. As a result of the acquisition, GDHI became our wholly owned operating subsidiary, and we changed our business focus to the business of GDHI, which was to develop and market healthy snack foods.
On August 31, 2022, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “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. The Company intends to make additional acquisitions of e-commerce businesses and assets in an attempt to grow its digital business.
On March 29, 2023, the Company filed an Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation effecting the change of the Company’s name to NetBrands Corp., a name that reflects the planned expansion of the Company’s digital business. On July 31, 2023, the Company’s common stock began trading on the OTC Pink marketplace under its new name, NetBrands Corp., and its new trading symbol “NBND.”
Going forward, we intend to seek, investigate and, if such investigation warrants, engage in a business combination with a private entity whose business presents an opportunity for our shareholders. We will not restrict our potential candidate target companies to any specific business, industry or geographical location and, thus, may acquire any type of business. Further, we may acquire or combine with a venture that is in its preliminary or early stages of development, one that is already in operation, or one that is in a more mature stage of its corporate existence. Accordingly, business opportunities may be available in many different industries and at various stages of development, all of which will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such business opportunities difficult and complex. The analysis of new business opportunities will be undertaken by or under the supervision of our executive officers and directors, none of whom is a business analyst. Therefore, it is anticipated that outside consultants or advisors may be utilized to assist us in the search for and analysis of qualified target companies.
Business
We are an early stage diversified holdings company which sells multiple products under common management with one of them a global multi-line consumer packaged goods (“CPG”) company with branded product lines in the food and snack industry. This division operates as marketer and distributor in the United States, Canada, and Europe. Another division is focused and involved in building and acquiring ecommerce assets as well as private businesses in various verticals with the goal of scaling them up and increasing revenue. Historically, the large majority of our sales have been through traditional brick-and-mortar methods. However, going forward, we intend to focus on growing our e-commerce business as well as maintaining the core business which in large part exists in brick and mortar. 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.
Packaged Goods
The Company is focused on developing and marketing products that appeal to consumers’ growing preference in the snack foods category. The Company is taking a major shift towards ecommerce development and acquisition of new ecommerce assets to diversify its business with an approximate 90/10 focus on ecommerce sales while still growing brick and mortar sales. As the Company identifies products that fit within its distribution channels, it will seek to enter into non-exclusive manufacturing and licensing agreements with such factories to manufacture products under the Company’s own trademarked brands for sale in the United States and/or global markets. Currently, the Company maintains six trademarks for its brands registered with the US Patent and Trademark Office. Each trademark covers numerous product lines with a variety of unique identifiers (known as SKUs) offered under the applicable brand name. The Company has non-contractual on-going relationships with a few Fortune 500 companies, including club and retail chain stores to whom the Company directly sells its products.
The Company sells its food and snack products directly in the United States and global markets through various distribution channels comprising specialty, grocery retailers, food-service distributors and direct store delivery (“DSD”), as well as the vending, pantry, and the micro-market segment. Our buyers typically represent recognized large retail chain stores. The products are then distributed by the chains to their local outlets. The Company seeks out and develops snacks and gourmet foods to brand under its trademarks based on market trends and input from the buyers as to consumer demand. The Company works closely with buyers to evaluate products with the intent to identify products that have likely customer demand. We recently re-branded and launched all new snack marketplace and will seek to gain market share in the ecommerce segment. Our re-branded website will serve as a snack marketplace which will carry its own branded products and other gourmet snacks and products.
We intend 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. Management believes that the strategy of acquiring small brands regional brands and adding these to the Company’s national distribution can prove beneficial for the Company.
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.
Vending Operations
In addition to placing its products with large retail specialty chains, the Company supplies products to vending channels throughout the United States through food service distributors. These vending machines are located in malls, service stations, and schools. The Company works with vending companies that have, in the aggregate, more than 100,000 machines nationwide. The Company supplies vending companies with products. The Company works directly with some vending companies and with others through its food service distributors. The broker pre-sells the products and the distributor services the accounts. When the distributor services the accounts, the distributor buys the product directly. Vending machine sales represent approximately one percent of our revenues.
E-Commerce Business
On August 31, 2022, the Company acquired from InPlay all of the assets relating to the online home fitness store known as “The Hula Fit,” including the Shopify Store and the TikTok, Facebook and Google ad accounts. The Company intends to make additional acquisitions of e-commerce businesses and assets in an attempt to grow its digital business.
Products and Trademarked Brands
The Company currently owns six trademark brands. Each brand encompasses numerous SKUs that are brought to the market from time to time. The Company produces its products primarily on an “on request” basis from its retail chain buyers for sale through such chains. The Company’s trademarks are listed below as follows:
Country Mark Status Class Serial Number Registration Number Registration Date Owner Name Expiration Date

USA COCO BLISS Live 12/5/2016 Paul Adler 12/4/26
USA EZLYV Live
8/30/2021 Global Diversified Holdings, Inc. 8/29/31
Retail Chain Buyers
The primary distribution of our products has been through specialty retail chains. We work with the buying office that determines placement for our products. The retail chain will then distribute the products to its retail outlets.
Our Strategy and Strengths
We believe a variety of favorable consumer trends, including a greater focus on health and wellness, increased consumption of smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day and a preference for convenient gourmet foods and snacks will continue to drive overall snacking growth within the overall market. Our Management believes that the Company’s products appeal to a wide range of consumers, including most age brackets. The young snackers, classified as those being between the ages of 18-34, tend to consume more snacks than average adults but the gourmet foods reach the broader adult market. The senior market tends to reduce snacks and gourmet foods. We expect to explore the development and acquisition of small regional brands and add them to the Company’s national distribution within the United States and globally.
We anticipate that our marketing strategy will use the internet and social media including Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Our distribution channels consist of retailers, distributors, online e-commerce, and vending companies. The Company’s marketing strategy is primarily targeted at vendors and retail chain stores.
The Company anticipates utilizing the following opportunities to further its marketing program, to obtain information to adjust and modify, as needed, the marketing program, and to create direct interest in its products:
Networking. Networking could be a low-cost but often effective means for us to generate partnerships and growth while bolstering personal commitments to the Company. Management will join wholesalers’ associations to network with other food manufacturers and distributors.
Trade Shows. The Company plans to attend trade shows and exhibitions related to the food manufacturing industry, such as SIAL, PLMA Amsterdam, Thaifex, Fancy Food, CIBUS, ISM, and ANUGA among others. Through attendance at conventions and trade shows, management remains knowledgeable and informed about advancements, trends, and issues of concern in the market. The Company will be pivoting in a different direction. E-commerce supplements and acquiring other e-commerce assets/or private business to be operating under a public setting.
Social Media and Food Blogging. The Company will manage its brands on social media sites, such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Twitter has proven an effective platform to conduct customer satisfaction surveys as well as solicit customer feedback.
The rise in popularity of the food blogging community has given consumers a massive platform on which to share their opinion and make their voices heard. This has led to a rise in consumer concerns about food, with increasing emphasis being placed on healthy eating and organic produce. The Company will use food blogging websites to promote its products and highlight benefits that appeal to a new generation of socially aware consumers.
Websites. A well-optimized website has been constructed, with proper site structure, page layout, and clear and easy navigation, along with targeted keywords embedded throughout the site to ensure prominent search engine placement and saturation. The Company’s websites are important marketing assets:
www.gdmginc.com,
www.dolcibono.com,
www.fruttatasnacks.com,
www.ezlyv.com
We anticipate that we will primarily target teens and adults up to age 65. The primary target market is “Young Snackers” that are 18-34 years old and tend to eat more snacks than other age groups. The trend of snacks between meals is especially strong with millennials and younger Americans. A quarter of American millennials, age 23 to 40, reported eating four or more times a day, compared to just 10% of Gen X and 9% of Baby Boomers. The Company believes that the senior age bracket (over 65) is not a strong snack market.
The Company use of co-packers for manufacturing and packaging of its products provides the most efficient and cost-effective means of operations for a small company like we are. It allows us to scale up and meet growing demand, without having to invest in our own industrial setting and without the high overhead costs of hiring salespeople as employees of the Company. The Company intends to employ this model strategy in the future and also to attract and retain an experienced sales team.
Competition
The snack food industry in the United States is very competitive, particularly in the savory and salty snack segment. In the United States, a study conducted and published by the Packaging Strategies magazine reported that snacks account for 51% of all food sales, and 92% of adults in the US have snacked within the last 24 hours.
The Company has observed an increased demand for “healthy” snacks. In the United States, companies are finding success in the “snackable” fruit and vegetable category, such as grapes or baby carrots.
A challenge facing entrants in the snack and gourmet food market is the dominance of leading snack food producers, particularly the industry leader PepsiCo. Large producers may experience a high degree of brand and consumer loyalty and typically possess sufficient capital to invest in extensive advertising and promotions to obtain a greater market share. Furthermore, companies such as PepsiCo often benefit from higher profit margins when compared with small- to medium-sized operators, enabling them to lower their product prices and to engage in price-based competition with competitors. Multinational producers may also experience lower per-unit costs due to economies of scale and scope.
Employees
The Company currently has one employee, its Chief Executive Officer.
Subsidiaries
The wholly-owned subsidiary, Global Diversified Holdings, Inc., is the Company’s only subsidiary.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Item 1A Risk Factors
Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Before investing in our common stock, you should carefully consider the risks described below, as well as the other information in this Annual Report, including our consolidated financial statements and the related notes. In addition, we may face additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us, or which as of the date of this registration statement we might not consider significant, which may adversely affect our business. If any of the following risks occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. In such case the trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks or uncertainties, and you may lose part or all of your investment.
Risks Related to our Business and Industry.
The Company depends on its President and Chief Financial Officer, to manage its business effectively and loss of the President and Chief Financial Officer could significantly impair the Company’s results.
The Company, through its subsidiary, has a developed track record of bringing successful new products to retail chain buyers for the placement and sale of the Company’s products. This track record has been developed by the President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, Paul Adler, and his ability to locate and produce unique and quality snack and gourmet foods attractive to the buyer’s market. The loss of Mr. Adler as the Company’s President and Chief Financial Officer, or in active management of the Company, could have a significant negative impact of the operations of the Company. Such a loss could impact the production of the current product, the relationship with the retail chain stores and development of future products.
Our independent auditors have expressed their concern as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
On a consolidated basis, the Company has incurred significant operating losses since inception and has a working capital deficit and accrued liabilities. 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. The Company’s existing operational cash flow may not be sufficient to fund presently anticipated operations, and the Company will need to raise additional funds through alternative sources of financing. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional funding when it is needed, or that such funding, if available, will be obtainable on terms acceptable to us. If we cannot obtain needed funds, we may be forced to reduce or cease our activities with a 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. If the Company is unable to obtain sufficient funding, our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected, and we may be unable to continue as a going concern.
The gourmet and snack food markets are dominated by several large strong food producers.
A challenge facing potential new or expanding entrants in the market is the dominance of leading snack food producers, particularly industry leader PepsiCo. Large producers experience a high degree of brand and consumer loyalty and possess sufficient capital to invest in extensive advertising and promotions to obtain a greater market share. Furthermore, companies such as PepsiCo benefit from higher profit margins when compared with small- to medium-sized operators, enabling them to lower their product prices to engage in price-based competition with competitors. Multinational producers also experience lower per-unit costs due to economies of scale and scope. Although these factors do not prevent a prospect from entering the industry, they may hamper the success of new entrants.
In addition, many industry players have established relationships with downstream retailers, which may be difficult for new entrants to secure. Typically, supermarkets give companies with established brands the most optimal shelf space. Moreover, larger producers have established relationships with upstream suppliers, an advantage that new entrants may find difficult to replicate.
Failure to manage our growth effectively could cause our business to suffer and have an adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results.
Failure to manage our growth effectively could cause our business to suffer and have an adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results. To manage our growth effectively, we must continually evaluate and evolve our business and manage our employees, operations, finances, technology and development, and capital investments efficiently. Our efficiency, productivity and the quality of our business may be adversely impacted if we fail to appropriately coordinate across our business operations. Additionally, rapid growth may place a strain on our resources, infrastructure, and ability to maintain the quality of our production. If and when our structure becomes more complex as we add additional staff, we will need to improve our operational, financial and management controls as well as our reporting systems and procedures. Our failure to manage our growth could disrupt our operations and ultimately prevent us from generating revenues.
As a food production company, all of our products must be compliant with regulations by the Food and Drug Administration, or FDA. Any non-compliance with the FDA could harm our business.
We must comply with various FDA rules and regulations, including those regarding product manufacturing, food safety, required testing and appropriate labeling of our products. While our products are in compliance with current regulations by the FDA, it is possible that regulations by the FDA and its interpretation thereof may change over time. As such, there is a risk that our products could become non-compliant with the FDA’s regulations and any such non-compliance could harm our business.
Our intellectual property rights are critical to our success, and the loss of such rights could materially adversely affect our business.
We regard our trademarks and other intellectual property rights as critical to our success and attempt to protect such intellectual property with registered and common law trademarks, restrictions on disclosure and other actions to prevent infringement. However, there can be no assurance that other third parties will not infringe or misappropriate our trademarks and similar proprietary rights. If we lose some or all of our intellectual property rights, our business may be materially adversely affected.
We may be subject to claims alleging the intellectual property subject to our licensing agreements is violating the intellectual property rights of others.
We may face significant expense and liability as a result of litigation or other proceedings relating to intellectual property rights of others. We could be required to participate in interference proceedings involving issued patents and pending applications of another entity. The cost to us of any such proceeding could be substantial. An adverse outcome in an interference proceeding could require us to cease using the technology, substantially modify it or to license rights from prevailing third parties. There is no guarantee that any prevailing owner of intellectual property would offer us a license so that we could continue to engage in our activities, or that such a license is made available to us, could be acquired on commercially acceptable terms. In addition, third parties may, in the future, assert other intellectual property infringement claims against us with respect to our services, technologies or other matters.
We may be subject to significant liability should the consumption of any of our products cause or be claimed to cause illness or physical harm.
We sell products for human consumption, which involves risks such as product contamination or spoilage, product tampering, other adulteration, mislabeling and misbranding. Under certain circumstances, we may be required to, or may voluntarily, recall or withdraw products. Such withdrawal may negatively and significantly impact our sales and profitability for a period of time and could result in significant losses depending on the costs of the recall, the destruction of product inventory, product availability, competitive reaction and customer and consumer reaction. We may also be subject to claims or lawsuits resulting in liability for actual or claimed injuries, illness or death. Any of these events may result in a material adverse effect on our business. Even if a product liability claim or lawsuit is unsuccessful or is not fully pursued, the negative publicity surrounding any assertion that our products caused illness or physical harm could adversely affect our reputation with existing and potential customers and consumers and our corporate and brand image. Moreover, certain claims or liabilities of this sort might not be covered by our insurance or by any rights of indemnity or contribution that we may have against others. We maintain product liability insurance in an amount that is required by our customers/retailers. However, we cannot be sure that we will not incur claims or liabilities for which we are not insured or that exceed the amount of our insurance coverage. A product liability judgment against us or a product recall could have a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
Limitations on director and officer liability and indemnification of our officers and directors by us may discourage stockholders from bringing suit against a director.
Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide, with certain exceptions as permitted by governing state law, that a director or officer shall not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for acts or omissions.
We rely on information technology systems and could face cybersecurity risks.
We rely on information technologies and infrastructure to manage our business, including developing new business opportunities for our digital business. Malicious technology-related events, such as cyberattacks, computer hacking, computer viruses, ransomware, worms, and other destructive or disruptive software and other attempts to access confidential or personal data, denial of service attacks, and other malicious activities, are becoming increasingly diverse and sophisticated. These events are rising worldwide, highlighting the need for continual and effective cybersecurity awareness and education. We and our clients may become attractive targets of hackers, denial of service attacks, malicious code, phishing attacks, ransomware attacks, and other threat actors, which may result in security incidents, including unauthorized access, misuse, loss, corruption, inaccessibility of the data we use, or destruction of this data unavailability of services, or other adverse events. In the past, we have not faced cyber-attacks of this nature, but we may face such attacks in the future. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to prevent such attacks in the future. Efforts to develop, implement, and maintain security measures are costly, may not successfully prevent these events from occurring, and may require ongoing monitoring and updating as technologies and cyberattack techniques change frequently or are not recognized until they are successful.
Risks Related to Our Common Stock
The Company’s sole officer beneficially owns and will continue to own a majority of the Company’s common stock and, as a result, can exercise control over shareholder and corporate actions.
Paul Adler, the founder and President of the Company, is currently the beneficial owner of approximately 29.9% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock, In addition, Mr. Adler owns 1,000 shares of Series A Super Voting Preferred Stock as such, he will have approximately 77.6% of the voting power in the Company and thus be able to control all matters requiring approval by shareholders, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions.
The Company has authorized the issuance of preferred stock with certain preferences.
The Company is authorized to issue up to 20,000,000 shares of $0.0001 par value preferred stock. The board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) has the power to establish the dividend rates, liquidation preferences, and voting rights of any series of preferred stock, and these rights may be superior to the rights of holders of the Shares. The Board may also establish redemption and conversion terms and privileges with respect to any shares of preferred stock. Any such preferences may operate to the detriment of the rights of the holders of the Shares, and further, could be used by the Board as a device to prevent a change in control of the Company. To the Company has designated 1,000,000 shares of Series A Super Voting Preferred Stock, each of which votes with the Common Stock and has 100,000 votes. Mr. Adler, our sole officer and a member of the Board, owns all the issued 1,000 shares of this class of preferred stock which gives him an additional 100,000,000 voting rights in any shareholder meeting.
Future capital raises may dilute our existing shareholders’ ownership, the value of their equity securities and/or have other adverse effects on our operations.
If we raise additional capital by issuing equity securities in connection with equity financings, our existing shareholder’ percentage ownership may decrease, and these shareholders may experience substantial dilution. If we raise additional funds by issuing debt instruments, these debt instruments could impose significant restrictions on our operations, including liens on our assets. If we raise additional funds through collaborations and licensing arrangements, we may be required to relinquish some rights to our technologies or products, or to grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us or could diminish the rights of our shareholders. Furthermore, if we offer to sell our shares of Common Stock in subsequent offerings for the purchase price that is less than the purchase price of shares of Common Stock offered pursuant to this Report, this may impact the value of equity securities of the shareholders that are purchasing our shares of Common Stock in the offering pursuant to this Report. In addition, the issuance of such additional shares may impact the ability of any investor to sell their shares once such shares are eligible for sale.
The Company’s election not to opt out of JOBS Act extended accounting transition period may not make its financial statements easily comparable to other companies.
Pursuant to the JOBS Act, as an emerging growth company, the Company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period for any new or revised accounting standards that may be issued by the PCAOB or the SEC. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the standard for the private company. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with any other public company which is not either an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible as possible different or revised standards may be used.
“Penny Stock” rules may make buying or selling our Common Stock difficult. Limitations upon Broker-Dealers Effecting Transactions in “Penny Stocks”
Trading in our Common Stock is subject to material limitations as a consequence of regulations which limit the activities of broker-dealers effecting transactions in “penny stocks.” Pursuant to Rule 3a51-1 under the Exchange Act, our Common Stock is a “penny stock” because it (i) is not listed on any national securities exchange (ii) has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, and (iii) its issuer (the Company) has net tangible assets less than $2,000,000 (if the issuer has been in business for at least three (3) years) or $5,000,000 (if the issuer has been in business for less than three (3) years).
Rule 15g-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act imposes limitations upon trading activities on “penny stocks”, which makes selling our Common Stock more difficult compared to selling securities which are not “penny stocks.” Rule 15a-9 restricts the solicitation of sales of “penny stocks” by broker-dealers unless the broker first (i) obtains from the purchaser information concerning his financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives, (ii) reasonably determines that the purchaser has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters that the person is capable of evaluating the risks of investing in “penny stocks”, and (iii) delivers and receives back from the purchaser a manually signed written statement acknowledging the purchaser’s investment experience and financial sophistication.
Rules 15g-2 through 15g-6 promulgated under the Exchange Act require broker-dealers who engage in transactions in “penny stocks” first to provide their customers with a series of disclosures and documents, including (i) a standardized risk disclosure document identifying the risks inherent in investing in “penny stocks”, (ii) all compensation received by the broker-dealer in connection with the transaction, (iii) current quotation prices and other relevant market data, and (iv) monthly account statements reflecting the fair market value of the securities.
There can be no assurance that any broker-dealer which initiates quotations for the Common Stock will continue to do so, and the loss of any such broker-dealer likely would have a material adverse effect on the market price of our Common Stock.
FINRA sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.
In addition to the “penny stock” rules described below, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our Common Stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.
Because our Common Stock is deemed a low-priced “penny stock,” it will be cumbersome for brokers and dealers to trade in our Common Stock, making the market for our Common Stock less liquid and negatively affect the price of our stock.
We will be subject to certain provisions of the Exchange Act, commonly referred to as the “penny stock” rules as defined in Rule 3a51-1. A penny stock is generally defined to be any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Since our stock is deemed to be a penny stock, trading is subject to additional sales practice requirements of broker-dealers. These require a broker-dealer to:
● Deliver to the customer, and obtain a written receipt for, a disclosure document;
● Disclose certain price information about the stock;
● Disclose the amount of compensation received by the broker-dealer or any associated person of the broker-dealer;
● Send monthly statements to customers with market and price information about the penny stock; and
● In some circumstances, approve the purchaser’s account under certain standards and deliver written statements to the customer with information specified in the rules.
Consequently, penny stock rules and FINRA rules may restrict the ability or willingness of broker-dealers to trade and/or maintain a market in our Common Stock. Also, prospective investors may not want to get involved with the additional administrative requirements, which may have a material adverse effect on the trading of our shares.
We are an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act of 2012 and a “smaller reporting company” and, as a result of the reduced disclosure and governance requirements applicable to emerging growth companies and smaller reporting companies, our Common Stock may be less attractive to investors.
We are an “emerging growth company”, as defined in the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We cannot predict if investors will find our Common Stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our Common Stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our Common Stock and our stock price may be more volatile.
In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We are choosing to take advantage of the extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards.
We will remain an “emerging growth company” until the earlier of (i) the last day of the year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the completion of our initial public offering, (ii) the last day of the year in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion, (iii) the last day of the year in which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our Common Stock held by non-affiliates exceeded $700.0 million as of the last business day of the second fiscal quarter of such year, or (iv) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period..
Even after we no longer qualify as an “emerging growth company,” we may still qualify as a “smaller reporting company,” which would allow us to continue to take advantage of many of the same exemptions from disclosure requirements, including, among other things, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, presenting only the two most recent fiscal years of audited financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in this Report and our periodic reports and proxy statements.
Our status as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act may make it more difficult to raise capital as and when we need it.
Because of the exemptions from various reporting requirements provided to us as an “emerging growth company” and because we will have an extended transition period for complying with new or revised financial accounting standards, we may be less attractive to investors and it may be difficult for us to raise additional capital as and when we need it. Investors may be unable to compare our business with other companies in our industry if they believe that our financial accounting is not as transparent as other companies in our industry. If we are unable to raise additional capital as and when we need it, our financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.
Since we are traded on the OTC Pink Market, an active, liquid trading market for our Common Stock may not develop or be sustained. If and when an active market develops the price of our common stock may be volatile.
Presently, our Common Stock is traded on the OTC Pink Market. There is a very limited trading in our stock and there is no assurance that an active market will develop. In the absence of an active trading market, investors may have difficulty buying and selling or obtaining market quotations, market visibility for shares of our Common Stock may be limited, and a lack of visibility for shares of our Common Stock may have a depressive effect on the market price for shares of our Common Stock. The lack of an active market impairs your ability to sell your shares at the time you wish to sell them or at a price that you consider reasonable. The lack of an active market may also reduce the fair market value of your shares. An inactive market may also impair our ability to raise capital to continue to fund operations by selling shares.
Trading in stocks quoted on the OTC Pink Market is often thin and characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices, due to many factors that may have little to do with our operations or business prospects. The securities market has from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are not related to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of shares of our Common stock. Moreover, the OTC Pink Market is not a stock exchange and is not an established market, and trading of Securities is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on a national stock exchange like the NYSE. Accordingly, you may have difficulty reselling any shares of Common Stock.

On June 6, 2023, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “1800 Purchase Agreement”) with 1800 Diagonal, pursuant to which the Company issued the 1800 Diagonal Note. The 1800 Diagonal Note has a principal balance of $117,320, and a stated maturity date of April 15, 2024. A one-time interest charge of 13%, or $15,251, was applied on the date of issuance and was immediately expensed.

The Company did not make payments when required under the 1800 Diagonal Note, resulting in a default and the commencement of the Action by 1800 Diagonal seeking to recover $151,325.08 of outstanding indebtedness due under the 1800 Diagonal Note. As of January 10, 2024, the Company acknowledged the outstanding indebtedness under the 1800 Diagonal Note, and agreed to pay 1800 Diagonal (a) $5,000 on each of March 1, 2024, April 1, 2024, and May 1, 2024, and (b) $7,500 on June 1, 2024, and the 1st day of each successive month thereafter until the indebtedness is paid in full (anticipated to span approximately 18 months).

Purchase Agreement with Cove Funding
On March 22, 2024, the Company entered into the Cove Purchase Agreement with Cove Funding, pursuant to which Cove Funding agreed to extend the Cove Loan to the Company in the amount of up to $300,000, in two tranches. On March 22, 2024, the Company issued the Cove Note to Cove Funding in the principal amount of $187,777, evidencing the First Tranche of the Cove Loan. The Company received net proceeds of $150,000 (after deducting a 5% commitment fee, a 5% diligence fee, and Cove Funding’s fees and expenses related to the transaction, including attorney’s fees). The difference between the amount of the First Tranche and $300,000 (less a 5% commitment fee, a 5% diligence fee, and Cove Funding’s fees and expenses related to the transaction, including attorney’s fees) may be funded in a second tranche (the “Second Tranche” and, together with the First Tranche, the “Principal Amount”), upon the Company’s written request, and subject to certain conditions.
The Cove Note has a stated maturity date of July 22, 2024 (as such date may be extended by the parties, the “Maturity Date”), and an interest rate of 12% per annum, which begins to accrue on the First Tranche on the Closing Date and will begin to accrue on the Second Tranche if and when such amount is funded by Cove Funding. Any Principal Amount that is not paid when due will bear interest at a rate of the lesser of (a) 24% per annum, or (b) the maximum amount permitted by law. The Cove Convertible Note may not be prepaid in whole or in part, except as otherwise set forth in the Cove Note. Pursuant to the terms of Cove Note, if the Cove Loan is not repaid on or before the Maturity Date, the Company is required to issue Cove Funding shares of its Common Stock, on a monthly basis (subject to a 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation), with a value of 16.67% of the principal amount of the Cove Loan outstanding as of each issuance date, plus a commitment fee equal to 5% of such outstanding principal amount, until the Cove Loan is repaid in full (collectively, the “Penalty Shares”). In addition, commencing on the Maturity Date, Cove Funding may (subject to a 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation) convert amounts due under the Cove Note into shares of the Company’s Common Stock (collectively, the “Conversion Shares”) at a conversion price equal to the lesser of (a) $0.07, or (b) the five-trading day closing price average immediately prior to the conversion date. The number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Cove Note will be subject to adjustment from time-to-time in the event of any combination, extraordinary distribution, dilutive issuance, or similar event. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Cove Note, 125% of the amounts due under the Cove Note will become immediately due and payable. In addition, as long as the Company has any obligations outstanding under the Cove Note, the Company may not (among other things), without Cove Funding’s written consent, incur any senior or pari passu indebtedness, sell a significant amount of the Company’s assets, or issue equity securities in an amount greater than 10% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock, subject to certain exceptions.
In order to further induce Cove Funding to make the Cove Loan to the Company, (a) the Company entered into the Cove Security Agreement with Cove Funding, pursuant to which Cove Funding was granted a first priority security interest in the Company’s assets, and (b) Paul Adler, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and a director of the Company, entered into the Cove Pledge Agreement with Cove Funding, pursuant to which Mr. Adler pledged the Adler Shares.
Addendum to the Engagement Agreement with Spencer Clarke
On March 22, 2024, the Company and Spencer Clarke, LLC (“Spencer Clarke”) executed an addendum to their engagement agreement for investment banking related services, dated November 14, 2022 (the “Engagement Agreement”), pursuant to which the term of the Engagement Agreement was further extended to June 21, 2024, as such term may be further extended pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Engagement Agreement.
In addition, in connection with the closing of the Cove Loan, the Company (a) paid Spencer Clarke a cash fee of $25,000 (for up to $300,000 raised in the financing), and (b) issued Spencer Clarke a Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase 814,285 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (for up to $300,000 raised in the financing) (the “Warrant Shares”). The Warrant is exercisable for a term of five years from the date of issuance. The Warrant has an exercise price of $0.07 per share, subject to adjustment. The Warrant may be exercised for cash, or on a cashless basis. Spencer Clarke may not exercise the Warrant with respect to any number of shares that would cause it to beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the Company’s number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, waivable upon 61 days’ prior notice to the Company. The exercise price of the Warrant is subject to adjustment for subdivision or consolidation of the Company’s shares, or other dilutive issuances. Spencer Clarke has piggyback registration rights with respect to the Warrant Shares.

Discussion of the Years Ended 2024 and 2023
Revenues and Cost of Sales
We did not generate any revenue in 2024 compared to sales of $644,535 for the year ended December 31, 2023, a decrease of $644,535, or 100%.
We lost all of our revenue in 2024 compared to 2023 due to the supplier bottlenecking our production of products in 2023 and eventually interrupting our supply completely in 2024 which caused revenue loss issues., Also Significant loss of revenue on another product with eight SKUs that was produced in Russia that was no longer available to us due to ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine which precluded us from getting the product due to the origin of production in Russia and acceptance in USA. Without having an adequate amount of inventory on hand to fulfill existing and future orders, and our lack of sufficient liquidity, our ability to conduct future business with our customers is completely impaired and we may become insolvent. We are currently identifying potential targets which may or may not become a revenue generating sources.
Operating expenses
Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024, were $798,089, compared to $915,295 for the year ended December 31, 2023. Operating expenses consisted of accrued payroll and taxes, legal and professional fees, rent and selling, general and administrative expenses. Operating expenses included $425,138 and $164,500 in non-cash stock- based compensation for years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Excluding this stock-based compensation in both periods, operating expenses were $372,951 and $915,485, for periods ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Excluding stock-based compensation in both periods the decrease in operating expenses in 2024 compared to 2023 is attributable to lower expenses in all categories due to lack of sales volume and a significant decrease of $394,000 in officer compensation and other payroll expenses.
Other income and (expense)
Other expense is comprised solely of interest expense. Other expense was $487,217 for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $406,046 in other expense during the year ended December 31, 2023, as a result of higher levels of borrowings due to the loss of liquidity from operating activities.
Net loss
As a result of the foregoing, we recorded a net loss of $1,285,306 or $0.06 per share for year ended December 31, 2024, compared to a loss of $1,321,340 or $0.08 per share for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2024, we had cash of $-0-, as compared to $1,013 as of December 31, 2023. Net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2024, was $182,119, compared to $430,093 for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Cash flows used in investing activities was $-0- for the year ended December 31, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023.
Cash flows from financing activities was $181,107 for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $376,921 during the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease is primarily attributable to approximately $220,000 provided by notes payable we obtained during the year ended December 31, 2023.
Since our inception through December 31, 2024, we have funded our operations, principally with the issuance of equity and debt.
On April 10, 2023, Paul Adler, the President and a director of the Company, made a loan to the Company in the amount of $124,000, at an interest rate of 14.9% per annum. The principal amount of the loan, and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, were due and payable on July 9. 2023, in cash or shares of the Company’s common stock, at Mr. Adler’s sole discretion. The due date of this loan has been extended to July 9, 2024. If repaid in shares of common stock, the number of shares to be issued to be calculated using the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock on the OTC Pink marketplace on the payment date. As of April 8, 2024, Mr. Adler had advanced an additional $54,728 to the Company on the same terms.
On June 6, 2023, in connection with entering into the 1800 Purchase Agreement with 1800 Diagonal, and the issuance of the Note to 1800 Diagonal, the Company received the net proceeds of $100,000. The Company used the net proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes.
On March 22, 2024, in connection with entering into the Cove Purchase Agreement with Cove Funding, and the issuance of the Cove Note to Cove Funding, the Company received net proceeds of $150,000 from the Cove Loan. The Company plans to use the net proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes.
Seasonality
The Company’s business is not subject to seasonality.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements.
The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on its financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Critical Accounting Policies
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires making estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Going Concern
There is substantial doubt about the Company continuing as a going concern based on the Company’s accumulated deficit and accrued liabilities. For the period ended December 31, 2024, the Company had a net loss of $31,236.968 and had a stockholder’s deficit of $2,374,910.
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.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Pursuant to Rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company evaluated 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 fiscal year under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer (who is also the principal financial officer). There have been no significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date of the evaluation. 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. Management has determined that disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2024.
Management’s Report of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting in accordance with 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 December 31, 2024, 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 December 31, 2024, based on those criteria. A control system can provide only reasonable, 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.
BF Borgers CPA PC., Lakewood, Colorado, the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company, has not issued an attestation report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as no such report is required for a smaller reporting company.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our fourth quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
