NetBrands Corp.
(Formerly known as Global Diversified Marketing Group Inc.)
Notes To Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements For The Periods
Ended March 31, 2023 And 2022
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Business
NetBrands
Corp., formerly known as Global Diversified Marketing Group Inc. ( “NetBrands” or the “Company”), was incorporated
as Dense Forest Acquisition Corporation, in
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 years 2022 and 2021 is reflected in these condensed 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 $
On March 29, 2023, the Company filed an Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amendment”) effecting the change of the Company’s name to “NetBrands Corp.”, a name that reflects the planned expansion of the Company’s digital business. In connection with the name change, the Company submitted to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) a voluntary request for the change of its OTC trading symbol. In the meantime, the Company’s common stock will remain listed for quotation under the current symbol “GDMK.”
Basis of Presentation
The condensed 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 Condensed Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed 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 condensed financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in condensed 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 condensed financial statements include all of the adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary for 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 condensed financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Global Diversified Holdings, Inc. 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 condensed financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed 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 three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022 stock-based compensation was $- - and $ , respectively.
| F- 6 |
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. On March 31,
2023, and December 31, 2022, the Company had $
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 three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022 was $-
Inventory
Inventory, which is comprised of snack food products and packaging supplies is charged to inventory when purchased, is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value with cost determined under the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. The Company does not carry any raw materials.
The Company evaluates inventory levels quarterly value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. Any inventory that has a cost basis in excess of its expected net realizable value, inventory that becomes obsolete, inventory in excess of expected sales requirements, inventory that fails to meet commercial sale specifications or is otherwise impaired are written down with a corresponding charge to the statement of operations in the period that the impairment is first identified. The Company performed its evaluation on March 31, 2023 and December 30, 2022, and determined that no write-down was required.
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
The Company recognizes revenue from product sales 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. Typically, the Company receives a detailed purchase order from large retailers that specify the goods ordered, their price, payment terms and the required delivery date. Once the delivery of items on the purchase order is made to the client and title passes, the Company has met its performance obligation and recognizes revenue.
| F- 7 |
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 $
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate the 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.
Intangible Assets
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.
We perform an annual impairment assessment for intangible 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.
Determining the fair value of intangible assets is judgmental in nature and requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions.
On
September 30, 2022, we conducted an impairment analysis and determined that our purchase of Hula Fit was fully impaired. As a result, we
recorded an impairment loss of $
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.
Leases
The majority of our lease obligations are real estate operating leases from which we conduct our business. For any lease with an initial term in excess of 12 months, the related lease assets and liabilities are recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as either operating or finance leases at the inception of an agreement where it is determined that a lease exists. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheets; we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less, or that are on a month-to-month basis are not recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheets; we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Operating lease assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and operating lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. These assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future payments over the lease term at commencement date. We use a collateralized incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date, including lease term, in determining the present value of future payments. Our lease terms generally do not include options to extend or terminate the lease unless it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. Fixed payments may contain predetermined fixed rent escalations. We recognize the related rent expense on a straight-line basis from the commencement date to the end of the lease term.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
The information set forth in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, among others (I) increase in our revenue and profitability, (ii) prospective business opportunities and (iii) our strategy for financing our business. Forward-looking statements are statements other than historical information or statements of current condition. Some forward-looking statements may be identified by use of terms such as “believes”, “anticipates”, “intends” or “expects”. These forward-looking statements relate to our plans, liquidity, ability to complete financing, to enter into future agreements with companies, and plans to successfully expand our business operations and the sale of our products. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs.
Although we believe that our expectations with respect to the forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions within the bounds of our knowledge of our business and operations, in light of the risks and uncertainties inherent in all future projections, the inclusion of forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that our objectives or plans will be achieved. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report.

Overview
The Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware on December 1, 2017, 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. 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.

Historically, the Company has been focused on developing and marketing products in the United States, Canada, and Europe that appeal to consumers’ growing preference for healthy snack food. The Company operates through snacks segments offering Italian Wafers, French Madeleines, Italian Croissants, Macaron Cookies, Wafer Pralines, and other wholesome snacks. The Company sells its food and snack products through various distribution channels comprising specialty, grocery retailers, food-service distributors and direct store delivery, as well as the vending, pantry, and micro-market segment. Our buyers typically represent recognized large retail chain stores. The products are then distributed by the chains to their local outlets. We intend to develop additional gourmet foods and snack products under our trademarked brands and to expand the Company’s offering portfolio by identifying, producing and marketing new products.
While continuing to grow its brick-and-mortar sales, the Company plans to make a major shift towards ecommerce development and the acquisition of new ecommerce assets to diversify its business. The Company made the first of such acquisitions on August 31, 2022, when it purchased from InPlay Capital Inc. 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’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.
Recent Developments
On March 29, 2023, we filed an Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amendment”) effecting the change of the Company’s name to “NetBrands Corp.,: a name that reflects the planned expansion of our digital business. In connection with the name change, we submitted to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) a voluntary request for the change of our OTC trading symbol. We will announce our new trading symbol once it is approved by FINRA. In the meantime, our common stock will remain listed for quotation under the current symbol “GDMK.”
Results of Operations
Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 and 2022
Revenue and Cost of Sales
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, our revenues were $317,684 compared to $332,835 during the period ended March 31, 2022, a decrease of $15,201, or approximately 4.6%. The decrease is primarily attributable to shipping and supply chain delays we have been experiencing in receiving inventory from our suppliers necessary to fulfill customer orders.
Cost of sales was $209,760 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $224,552 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease in cost of sales is due to lower sales and improved gross profit margin in the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. Gross profit margin for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was 34%, compared to 32.5% during the same three-month period in 2022. The increase in gross profit margins in the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, is attributable to a slight decrease in the cost of shipping containers and supply chain improvement.
Operating expenses
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, our operating expenses were $372,702 compared to $311,047 during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The primary reason for the increase in operating expenses in the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, is due to an increase in our warehouse rent, equipment leases in the warehouse and office rent, aggregating to approximately $39,000, an increase of approximately $13,000 in legal and professional fees, and an increase of approximately $13,000 in payroll expenses in the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022.
Other Expense
Other expenses were comprised solely of interest expense, which amounted to $27,241 during the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, compared to $1,080 during the three-month period ended March 31, 2022. The increase in interest expense is due to higher levels of borrowing at higher interest rates in the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 period compared to the same period in 2022.

Net (Loss) Income
As a result of the foregoing, the net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $292,020 $(0.02 per share) compared to a net loss of $203,794 ($0.01 per share) for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2023, we had $8,221 in cash and cash equivalents compared to $54,185 in cash as of December 31, 2022.
Net cash used in operating activities decreased to $202,960 in the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $230,925 during the same period in 2022. The decrease in cash used in operating is primarily due to changes in operating assets and liabilities, partially offset by decreased profitability in the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $156,996 during the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $3,066 of net cash used in the three-month period ended March 31, 2022. The increase in net cash provided in the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022 is primarily due to an increase in loans payable in 2023 of $162,028 compared to loan repayments of $3,066 in 2022.
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.
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 condensed 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 condensed 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 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.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our condensed financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these condensed 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 our condensed 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 condensed financial statements contained herein.

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 (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial and accounting officer), who is directly involved in the day-to-day operations of the Company, as of March 31, 2023, 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 and accounting officer has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2023 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 President and Chief Financial Officer, does 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 March 31, 2023, 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.
