CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

The information contained in this Offering Circular includes some statements that are not historical and that are considered forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our development plans for our business; our strategies and business outlook; anticipated development of our company; and various other matters (including contingent liabilities and obligations and changes in accounting policies, standards and interpretations). These forward-looking statements express our expectations, hopes, beliefs and intentions regarding the future. In addition, without limiting the foregoing, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words anticipates, believes, continue, could, estimates, expects, intends, may, might, plans, possible, potential, predicts, projects, seeks, should, will, would and similar expressions and variations, or comparable terminology, or the negatives of any of the foregoing, may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.

 

The forward-looking statements contained in this Offering Circular are based on current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments that are difficult to predict. We cannot guarantee future performance, or that future developments affecting our company will be as currently anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

 

All forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by these risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties, along with others, are also described below in the Risk Factors section. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements and should not make an investment decision based solely on these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in the Offered Shares involves substantial risks. You should carefully consider the following risk factors, in addition to the other information contained in this Offering Circular before purchasing any of the Offered Shares. The occurrence of any of the following risks might cause you to lose a significant part of your investment. The risks and uncertainties discussed below are not the only ones we face, but do represent those risks and uncertainties that we believe are most significant to our business, operating results, prospects and financial condition. Some statements in this Offering Circular, including statements in the following risk factors, constitute forward-looking statements.

 

Risks Related to Our Business

 

The report of our independent auditors on our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, indicates uncertainty concerning our ability to continue as a going concern and this may impair our ability to raise capital to fund our business. The report of our independent auditors indicates uncertainty concerning our ability to continue as a going concern and this may impair our ability to raise capital to fund our business. In its opinion on our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, our independent auditors raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We cannot assure you that this will not impair our ability to raise capital on attractive terms. Additionally, we cannot assure you that we will ever achieve significant revenues and therefore remain a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Our company had an accumulated deficit of $12,312,452 (unaudited) at September 30, 2021, and had a net loss of $609,966 (unaudited) and net cash used in operating activities of $49,827 (unaudited) for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Our ability to raise additional capital through the future issuances of common stock and/or debt financing is unknown. The obtainment of additional financing, the successful development of our contemplated plan of operations, and its transition, ultimately, to the attainment of profitable operations are necessary for us to continue operations. These conditions and the ability to successfully resolve these factors over the next twelve months raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

If we are unable to raise enough capital in this offering or obtain additional financing, we may not be able to fulfill our business plan. At September 30, 2021, we had $173 (unaudited) in cash on hand. Our entire business plan, including our ability to conduct manufacturing, marketing, generate sales and further develop products, are entirely dependent upon adequate financing. Should we fail to obtain adequate financing: (a) our financial condition will be negatively affected; (b) we will be unable to conduct the essential aspects of our business plan, including marketing; (c) investments in our common stock will be negatively impacted; (d) we will be forced to liquidate our business and file for bankruptcy protection.

 

There is doubt about our ability to develop as a viable business, and it is expected that we will need additional funding. Our current efforts are focused on developing sales of CBD and other related products. To date, we have not derived revenues from our planned CBD and related products. We must obtain capital, in order to exploit the business potential of our products. There can be no assurance that our business activities will prove to be successful.

 

It is possible that the novel Coronavirus pandemic could cause long-lasting stock market volatility and weakness, as well as long-lasting recessionary effects on the United States and/or global economies. Should the negative economic impact caused by the novel Coronavirus pandemic result in long-term economic weakness in the United States and/or globally, our ability to establish our business would be severely negatively impacted. It is possible that our company would not be able to sustain during any such long-term economic weakness.

 

If we fail to secure the required additional financing on acceptable terms and in a timely manner, our ability to implement our business plan will be compromised and we may be unable to sustain our operations. We have limited capital resources and operations. To date, our operations have been funded from the proceeds of equity sales and debt financings. We will require substantial additional capital in the near future to accomplish our business objectives. We may be unable to obtain additional financing on terms acceptable to us, or at all.

 

 

 

 

 4 

 

 

Even if we obtain financing for our near-term operations, we expect that we will require additional capital thereafter. Our capital needs will depend on numerous factors including: (a) our profitability; (b) the release of competitive products and services by our competition; and (c) the amount of our capital expenditures, including acquisitions. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain capital in the future to meet our needs.

 

If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership held by our existing shareholders will be reduced and our shareholders may experience significant dilution. In addition, new securities may contain rights, preferences, or privileges that are senior to those of our common stock. If we raise additional capital by incurring debt, this will result in increased interest expense. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of securities, market fluctuations in the price of our shares of common stock could limit our ability to obtain equity financing.

 

We cannot give any assurance that any additional financing will be available to us, or if available, will be on terms favorable to us. If we are unable to raise capital when needed, our business, financial condition, and results of operations would be materially adversely affected, and we could be forced to reduce or discontinue our operations.

 

We may be unable to obtain sufficient capital to pursue our growth strategy. We do not possess sufficient financial resources to implement our complete business plan. We are currently seeking available sources of capital. There is no assurance that we will obtain needed capital, nor is there any assurance that our business will be able to generate revenues that are sufficient to sustain our operations. We are not able to offer assurance that we will be able to obtain needed sources of financing to satisfy our working capital needs.

 

We do not have a successful operating history. We are without a history of successful business operations, which makes a purchase of Offered Shares speculative in nature. Because of this lack of operating history, it is difficult to forecast our future operating results. Additionally, our operations are subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business, including, among other factors, efficiently deploying our capital, developing and implementing our marketing campaigns and strategies and developing awareness and acceptance of our products.

 

There are risks and uncertainties encountered by early-stage companies. As an early-stage company, we are unable to offer assurance that we will be able to overcome the lack of recognition for our CBD products’ brand names and our lack of capital.

 

We may not be successful in establishing our business model. We are unable to offer assurance that we will be successful in bringing our products to market and earning a profit from such efforts. Should we fail to implement successfully our business plan, you can expect to lose your entire investment in the Offered Shares.

 

We may never earn a profit. Because we lack a successful operating history, we are unable to offer assurance that we will ever earn a profit from our operations.

 

If we are unable to manage future expansion effectively, our business may be adversely impacted. In the future, we may experience rapid growth in our business, which could place a significant strain on our operations, in general, and our internal controls and other managerial, operating and financial resources, in particular. If we are unable to manage future expansion effectively, our business would be harmed. There is, of course, no assurance that we will enjoy rapid development in our business.

 

We currently depend on the efforts of our sole officer; the loss of this person could disrupt our operations and adversely affect the development of our business. Our success in establishing our business operations will depend, primarily, on the continued service of our Chief Executive Officer, Stavros A. Triant. We have not yet entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Triant and it is not expected that will do so in the foreseeable future. (See “Executive Compensation”). The loss of service of Mr. Triant, for any reason, could seriously impair our ability to execute our business plan, which could have a materially adverse effect on our business and future results of operations. We have not purchased any key-man life insurance.

 

 

 

 

 5 

 

 

If we are unable to recruit and retain key personnel, our business may be harmed. If we are unable to attract and retain key personnel, our business may be harmed. Our failure to enable the effective transfer of knowledge and facilitate smooth transitions with regard to our key employees could adversely affect our long-term strategic planning and execution.

 

Our business plan is not based on independent market studies. We have not commissioned any independent market studies concerning the market for our planned CBD and related products. Rather, our plans for implementing our business strategy and achieving profitability are based on the experience, judgment and assumptions of our sole officer. If these assumptions prove to be incorrect, we may not be successful in establishing our business.

 

Our Board of Directors may change our policies without shareholder approval. Our policies, including any policies with respect to investments, leverage, financing, growth, debt and capitalization, will be determined by our Board of Directors or officers to whom our Board of Directors delegate such authority. Our Board of Directors will also establish the amount of any dividends or other distributions that we may pay to our shareholders. Our Board of Directors or officers to which such decisions are delegated will have the ability to amend or revise these and our other policies at any time without shareholder vote. Accordingly, our shareholders will not be entitled to approve changes in our policies, which policy changes may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

 

We will rely on a limited number of third-party suppliers and contract manufacturers for the manufacture of our products, and a loss or degradation in performance of these suppliers and contract manufacturers could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We will rely on third-party suppliers and contract manufacturers for the raw materials and packaging of our CBD and related products. Any of our suppliers or our third-party contract manufacturers may be unwilling or unable to supply the necessary materials or manufacture our products reliably and at the levels we anticipate or that are required by the market. Our manufacturers may decide in the future to discontinue or reduce the level of business they conduct with us. If we are required to change contract manufacturers due to any change in or termination of our relationships with these third parties, or if our manufacturers are unable to obtain the materials they need to produce our products at consistent prices or at all, we may lose sales, experience manufacturing or other delays, incur increased costs or otherwise experience impairment to our customer relationships. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to establish alternative relationships on similar terms, without delay or at all.

 

If we cannot attract customers, we will not generate revenues and our business will fail. As of the date of this Offering Circular, we have not generated any revenue. If our business fails, you will lose all or part of your investment.

 

Because we do not have an audit committee, shareholders will have to rely on our directors, who are not independent, to perform these functions. We do not have an audit or compensation committee comprised of independent directors. These functions are performed by our Board of Directors as a whole. The members of our Board of Directors are not independent directors. Thus, there is a potential conflict in that the board members are also engaged in management and participate in decisions concerning management compensation and audit issues that may affect management performance.

 

Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws and certain provisions of Nevada law make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us and make a takeover more difficult to complete, even if such a transaction were in the stockholders’ interest. Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws and certain provisions of Nevada State law could have the effect of making it more difficult or more expensive for a third party to acquire, or from discouraging a third party from attempting to acquire, control of the Company, even when these attempts may be in the best interests of our stockholders. For example, we are governed by Section 203 of the Nevada General Corporation Law. In general, Section 203 prohibits a public Nevada corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. A “business combination” includes mergers, asset sales or other transactions resulting in a financial benefit to the stockholder. An “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years, did own, fifteen percent (15%) or more of the corporation’s outstanding voting stock. These provisions may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in our control.

 

 

 

 

 6 

 

 

Limitations of director liability and indemnification of directors, officers and employees. Our Articles of Incorporation limits the liability of directors to the maximum extent permitted by Nevada law. Nevada law provides that directors of a corporation will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, except for liability for any:

 

  - breach of their duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders;
  - act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
  - unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided n Section 174 of the Nevada General Corporation Law; or
  - transactions for which the directors derived an improper personal benefit.

 

These limitations of liability do not apply to liabilities arising under the federal or state securities laws and do not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission. Our corporate bylaws (“Bylaws”) provide that we will indemnify our directors, officers and employees to the fullest extent permitted by law. Our Bylaws also provide that we are obligated to advance expenses incurred by a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of any action or proceeding. We believe that these Bylaw provisions are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers. The limitation of liability in our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might provide a benefit to us and our stockholders. Our results of operations and financial condition may be harmed to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

 

If we fail to maintain a positive reputation with consumers concerning our products, we may not be able to develop loyalty to our products, and our operating results may be adversely affected. We believe a positive reputation with customers to be highly important in developing loyalty to our products. To the extent our products are perceived as low quality or otherwise not compelling to potential customers, our ability to establish and maintain a positive reputation and product loyalty may be adversely impacted.

 

We will be subject to payment processing risk. Purchases of our products will be made online by customers using credit/debit cards. We intend to rely on third parties to process payment. Acceptance and processing of these payment methods are subject to certain rules and regulations and require payment of interchange and other fees. To the extent there are disruptions in our payment processing systems, our revenue, operating expenses and results of operation could be adversely impacted.

 

Laws and regulations affecting the regulated industrial hemp industry are in a constant state of flux, which could negatively affect our business, and we cannot predict the impact that future regulations may have on us. Local, state and federal industrial hemp laws and regulations are broad in scope and subject to evolving interpretations, which could require us to incur substantial costs associated with compliance or alter our business. In addition, violations of these laws, or allegations of such violations, could disrupt our business and result in a material adverse effect on our business operations. In addition, it is likely that regulations may be enacted in the future that will be directly applicable to our planned CBD business. We are unable to predict the nature of any future laws, regulations, interpretations or applications, nor are we able to determine the effect any such additional governmental regulations or administrative policies and procedures, when and if promulgated, could have on our planned CBD business.

 

FDA regulation of industrial hemp and industrial-hemp-derived CBD could negatively affect the industrial hemp industry, which could adversely affect our financial condition. While the 2018 Farm Bill recently legalized industrial hemp, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) intends to regulate it under the Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act of 1938. Additionally, the FDA is in the process of issuing rules and regulations, including CGMPs (certified good manufacturing practices) related to the licensing of growth, cultivation, harvesting and processing of industrial hemp. Companies may need to perform clinical trials to verify efficacy and safety, which could prove costly and delay production and profits. It appears likely the FDA will require that facilities where hemp is grown be registered and comply with certain federally prescribed regulations which have not yet been released. In the event that some or all of these regulations are imposed, we are unable to predict what the impact would be on the industrial hemp industry, what costs, requirements and possible prohibitions may be enforced. If we are unable to comply with the regulations and or registration as may be prescribed by the FDA, we may be unable to continue to operate our business in its current form or at all, to the extreme detriment to our financial operating results and condition.

Because we intend to sell CBD products, it is possible that, in the future, we may have difficulty accessing the service of banks. While industrial hemp cultivation was legalized by the 2018 Farm Bill, the FDA is choosing to regulate certain hemp products, including CBD. It is possible that the circumstances surrounding the FDA’s handling of CBD-related issues could cause us to have difficulty securing services from banks, in the future.

 

If our trademarks and other proprietary rights are not adequately protected to prevent use or appropriation by competitors, the value of our brands may be diminished, and our business adversely affected. We rely, and expect to continue to rely, on a combination of confidentiality and license agreements with employees, consultants and third parties with whom we have relationships, as well as trademark protection laws, to protect our proprietary rights. If the protection of our intellectual property rights is inadequate to prevent use or misappropriation by third parties, the value of our brands may be diminished and the perception of our products may become confused in the marketplace. In such circumstance, our business could be adversely affected.

 

We could be subject to product liability claims. The sale of our CBD products will involve the risk of injury to customers and others. There can be no assurance that the use or consumption of any of one of our products will not cause a health-related illness or that it will not be subject to claims or lawsuits relating to such matters. We intend to purchase product liability insurance during the first quarter of 2022. Any claims or liabilities might not be covered by our insurance, once obtained. Thus, there is no assurance that we would not incur claims or liabilities for which we are not insured or that exceed the amount of our insurance coverage, resulting in cash outlays that could, if significant enough in nature, materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

 

Risks Related to a Purchase of the Offered Shares

 

We may seek capital that may result in shareholder dilution or that may have rights senior to those of our common stock, including the Offered Shares. From time to time, we may seek to obtain additional capital, either through equity, equity-linked or debt securities. The decision to obtain additional capital will depend on, among other factors, our business plans, operating performance and condition of the capital markets. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity-linked or debt securities, those securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to the rights of our common stock, which could negatively affect the market price of our common stock or cause our shareholders to experience dilution.

 

We do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock. We intend to retain earnings, if any, to provide funds for the implementation of our business strategy. We do not intend to declare or pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. Therefore, there can be no assurance that holders of our common stock will receive cash, stock or other dividends on their shares of our common stock, until we have funds which our Board of Directors determines can be allocated to dividends.

 

Our common stock is a “Penny Stock,” which may impair trading liquidity. Disclosure requirements pertaining to penny stocks may reduce the level of trading activity in the market for our common stock and investors may find it difficult to sell their shares. Trades of our common stock will be subject to Rule 15g-9 of the SEC, which rule imposes certain requirements on broker-dealers who sell securities subject to the rule to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. For transactions covered by the rule, broker-dealers must make a special suitability determination for purchasers of the securities and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction prior to sale. The SEC also has rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in that security is provided by the exchange or system). The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation.

It is possible that our common stock will continue to be thinly traded and its market price highly volatile. Our common stock is quoted in the over-the-counter market under the symbol “GVDL” in the OTC Pink marketplace of OTC Link. For over the past several years, our common stock has traded sporadically and has been extremely limited in nature. A limited market is characterized by a relatively limited number of shares in the public float, relatively low trading volume and a small number of brokerage firms acting as market makers. The market for low-priced securities is generally less liquid and more volatile than securities traded on national stock markets. Wide fluctuations in market prices are not uncommon.

 

The price of our common stock may be subject to wide fluctuations in response to factors such as the following, some of which are beyond our control:

 

  - quarterly variations in our operating results;
  - operating results that vary from the expectations of investors;
  - changes in expectations as to our future financial performance, including financial estimates by investors;
  - reaction to our periodic filings, or presentations by executives at investor and industry conferences;
  - changes in our capital structure;
  - announcements of innovations or new products by us or our competitors;
  - announcements by us or our competitors of significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;
  - lack of success in the expansion of our business operations;
  - third-party announcements of claims or proceedings against us or adverse developments in pending proceedings;
  - additions or departures of key personnel;
  - asset impairment;
  - temporary or permanent inability to offer products or services; and
  - rumors or public speculation about any of the above factors.

 

Future sales of our common stock, or the perception in the public markets that these sales may occur, could reduce the market price of our common stock. Our current shareholders, including our management, hold shares of our restricted common stock, but will be able to sell their shares in the market. In general, our officers and directors and 10% shareholders, as affiliates, under Rule 144 may not sell more than one percent of the total issued and outstanding shares in any 90-day period, and must resell the shares in an unsolicited brokerage transaction at the market price. The availability for sale of substantial amounts of our common stock under Rule 144 or otherwise could reduce prevailing market prices for our common stock.

 

As of the date of this Offering Circular, there is a total of 1,773,328,443 shares of our common stock reserved for issuance upon conversion of the currently convertible portions of convertible debt instruments and pursuant to agreements. All such shares constitute an overhang on the market for our common stock and, if and when issued, will be issued without transfer restrictions, pursuant to certain exemptions from registration, and could reduce prevailing market prices for our common stock. Also, in the future, we may also issue securities in connection with our obtaining needed capital or an acquisition transaction. The amount of shares of our common stock issued in connection with any such transaction could constitute a material portion of our then-outstanding shares of common stock.

 

The outstanding share of our Series A Preferred Stock could preclude current and future owners of our common stock from influencing any corporate decision. Our sole officer, Stavros A. Triant owns the single outstanding share of our Series A Preferred Stock. The single outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock has the voting rights of 350,000,000 shares of our common stock on all matters submitted to the holders of our common stock and votes together with the holders of our common stock as a single class. Mr. Triant, as the owner of the single outstanding share of the Series A Preferred Stock, may be able effectively to control the management and affairs of our company, as well as matters requiring the approval by our shareholders, including the election of directors, any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and any other significant corporate transaction. This control of the single outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock may also delay or prevent a future change of control of our company at a premium price, if Mr. Triant opposes it.

Future issuances of debt securities and equity securities could negatively affect the market price of shares of our common stock and, in the case of equity securities, may be dilutive to existing shareholders. In the future, we may issue debt or equity securities or incur other financial obligations, including stock dividends. Upon liquidation, it is possible that holders of our debt securities and other loans and preferred stock would receive a distribution of our available assets before common shareholders. We are not required to offer any such additional debt or equity securities to existing shareholders on a preemptive basis. Therefore, additional common stock issuances, directly or through convertible or exchangeable securities, warrants or options, would dilute the holdings of our existing common shareholders and such issuances, or the perception of such issuances, could reduce the market price of shares of our common stock.

 

As an issuer of penny stock, the protection provided by the federal securities laws relating to forward-looking statements does not apply to us. Although federal securities laws provide a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by a public company that files reports under the federal securities laws, this safe harbor is not available to issuers of penny stocks. As a result, we will not have the benefit of this safe harbor protection, in the event of any legal action based upon a claim that the material provided by us contained a material misstatement of fact or was misleading in any material respect because of our failure to include any statements necessary to make the statements not misleading. Such an action could hurt our financial condition.

DILUTION

 

Dilution in net tangible book value per share to purchasers of our common stock in this offering represents the difference between the amount per share paid by purchasers of the Offered Shares in this offering and the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share immediately after completion of this offering. In this offering, dilution is attributable primarily to our negative net tangible book value per share.

 

If you purchase Offered Shares in this offering, your investment will be diluted to the extent of the difference between your purchase price per Offered Share and the net pro forma as adjusted tangible book value per share of our common stock after this offering. Our pro forma net tangible book value as of September 30, 2021, was $(1,703,124) (unaudited), or $(0.0029) per share.

 

Without taking into effect any issuances of shares of our common stock subsequent to September 30, 2021, the tables below illustrate the dilution to purchasers of Offered Shares in this offering, on a pro forma basis, assuming 100%, 75%, 50% and 25% of the Offered Shares are sold.

There will be no refunds. This offering will terminate at the earliest of (a) the date on which the maximum offering has been sold, (b) the date which is one year from this offering being qualified by the SEC or (c) the date on which this offering is earlier terminated by us, in our sole discretion.

 

There is no minimum number of Offered Shares that we are required to sell in this offering. All funds derived by us from this offering will be immediately available for use by us, in accordance with the uses set forth in the Use of Proceeds section of this Offering Circular. Pending acceptance of an investor’s subscription agreement, funds will be placed in an escrow account. (See “Escrow Agent” below). No funds will be returned, once an investor’s subscription agreement has been accepted by us.

 

We intend to sell the Offered Shares in this offering through the efforts of our Chief Executive Officer, Stavros A. Triant. Mr. Triant will not receive any compensation for offering or selling the Offered Shares. We believe that Mr. Triant is exempt from registration as a broker-dealer under the provisions of Rule 3a4-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act). In particular, Mr. Triant:

 

  is not subject to a statutory disqualification, as that term is defined in Section 3(a)(39) of the Securities Act; and
  is not to be compensated in connection with his participation by the payment of commissions or other remuneration based either directly or indirectly on transactions in securities; and

    primarily performs, and will perform at the end of this offering, substantial duties for us or on our behalf otherwise than in connection with transactions in securities; and
    was not a broker or dealer, or an associated person of a broker or dealer, within the preceding 12 months; and
    did not participate in selling an offering of securities for any issuer more than once every 12 months other than in reliance on paragraphs (a)(4)(i) or (iii) of Rule 3a4-1 under the Exchange Act.

 

Acceptance of Subscriptions

 

Upon our acceptance of a subscription agreement, we will countersign the subscription agreement and issue the Offered Shares subscribed. Once you submit the subscription agreement and it is accepted, you may not revoke or change your subscription or request your subscription funds. All accepted subscription agreements are irrevocable.

 

This Offering Circular will be furnished to prospective investors upon their request via electronic PDF format and will be available

for viewing and download 24 hours per day, 7 days per week on our website at www.goldendeveloping.com, as well as on the SEC’s website, www.sec.gov.

 

An investor will become a shareholder of our company and the Offered Shares will be issued, as of the date of settlement. Settlement will not occur until an investor's funds have cleared and we accept the investor as a shareholder.

 

By executing the subscription agreement and paying the total purchase price for the Offered Shares subscribed, each investor agrees to accept the terms of the subscription agreement and attests that the investor meets certain minimum financial standards. (See “State Qualification and Investor Suitability Standards” below).

Minimum Purchase Requirements

 

You must initially purchase at least $1,000 of the Offered Shares in this offering. If you have satisfied the minimum purchase requirement, any additional purchase must be in an amount of at least $250.

 

State Law Exemption and Offerings to “Qualified Purchasers”

 

The Offered Shares are being offered and sold only to “qualified purchasers” (as defined in Regulation A under the Securities Act). As a Tier 2 offering pursuant to Regulation A under the Securities Act, this offering will be exempt from state “Blue Sky” law review, subject to certain state filing requirements and anti-fraud provisions, to the extent that the Offered Shares offered hereby are offered and sold only to “qualified purchasers”. “Qualified purchasers” include: (a) “accredited investors” under Rule 501(a) of Regulation D and (b) all other investors, so long as their investment in Offered Shares does not represent more than 10% of the greater of their annual income or net worth (for natural persons), or 10% of the greater of annual revenue or net assets at fiscal year-end (for non-natural persons). Accordingly, we reserve the right to reject any investor’s subscription in whole or in part for any reason, including if we determine, in our sole and absolute discretion, that such investor is not a “qualified purchaser” for purposes of Regulation A. We intend to offer and sell the Offered Shares to qualified purchasers in every state of the United States.

 

Transferability of the Offered Shares

 

The Offered Shares will be generally freely transferable, subject to any restrictions imposed by applicable securities laws or regulations.

 

Advertising, Sales and Other Promotional Materials

 

In addition to this Offering Circular, subject to limitations imposed by applicable securities laws, we expect to use additional advertising, sales and other promotional materials in connection with this offering. These materials may include information relating to this offering, articles and publications concerning industries relevant to our business operations or public advertisements and audio-visual materials, in each case only as authorized by us. In addition, the sales material may contain certain quotes from various publications without obtaining the consent of the author or the publication for use of the quoted material in the sales material. Although these materials will not contain information in conflict with the information provided by this Offering Circular and will be prepared with a view to presenting a balanced discussion of risk and reward with respect to the Offered Shares, these materials will not give a complete understanding of our company, this offering or the Offered Shares and are not to be considered part of this Offering Circular.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

 

General

 

Our authorized capital stock consists of: (a) 4,000,000,000 shares of common stock, $.0001 par value per share; and (b) 35,000,000 shares Preferred Stock, $.0001 par value per share, one (1) share of which has been designated Series A Preferred Stock.

 

As of the date of this Offering Circular, there were 617,892,972 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding, held by 524 holders of record; a total of 1,773,328,443 shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon conversion of the currently convertible portions of convertible debt instruments; and one (1) share of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding, held by our Chief Executive Officer, Stavros A. Triant.

 

Common Stock

 

General. The holders of our common stock currently have (a) equal ratable rights to dividends from funds legally available therefor, when, as and if declared by our Board of Directors; (b) are entitled to share ratably in all of our assets available for distribution to holders of common stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of our company; (c) do not have preemptive, subscriptive or conversion rights and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions or rights applicable thereto; and (d) are entitled to one non-cumulative vote per share on all matters on which shareholders may vote. Our Bylaws provide that, at all meetings of the shareholders for the election of directors, a plurality of the votes cast shall be sufficient to elect. On all other matters, except as otherwise required by Nevada law or our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, a majority of the votes cast at a meeting of the shareholders shall be necessary to authorize any corporate action to be taken by vote of the shareholders.

 

Non-cumulative Voting. Holders of shares of our common stock do not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares, voting for the election of directors, can elect all of the directors to be elected, if they so choose, and, in such event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any of our directors. As of the date of this Offering Circular, our officers and directors own, directly or indirectly, a total of 320,000,000, shares, or approximately 51.79%, of our outstanding common stock, which ownership percentage would be reduced to approximately 19.78%, assuming all of the Offered Shares are sold in this offering.

 

However, our Chief Executive Officer, Stavros A. Triant, owns the single issued and outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock and, thereby, effectively controls all corporate matters relating to our company. (See “Preferred Stock” below, as well as “Risk Factors—Risks Related to a Purchase of the Offered Shares” and “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management”).

 

Pre-emptive Rights. As of the date of this Offering Circular, no holder of any shares of our common stock has pre-emptive or preferential rights to acquire or subscribe for any unissued shares of any class of our capital stock not disclosed herein.

 

Series A Preferred Stock

 

We are authorized to issue one (1) share of Series A Preferred Stock. The single outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock has the voting rights of 350,000,000 shares of our common stock on all matters submitted to the holders of our common stock and votes together with the holders of our common stock as a single class.

 

Our Chief Executive Officer, Stavros A. Triant, as the owner of the single outstanding share of the Series A Preferred Stock, effectively controls the management and affairs of our company, as well as matters requiring the approval by our shareholders, including the election of directors, any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and any other significant corporate transaction. (See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to a Purchase of the Offered Shares” and “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management”).

We have never declared or paid any dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our business. As a result, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

Shareholder Meetings

 

Our bylaws provide that special meetings of shareholders may be called only by our Board of Directors, the chairman of the board, or our president, or as otherwise provided under Nevada law.

 

Transfer Agent

 

We have retained the services of Securities Transfer Corporation, 2901 N. Dallas Parkway, Suite 380, Plano, Texas 75093, as the transfer agent for our common stock. Securities Transfer’s website is located at: www.stctransfer.com. No information found on Securities Transfer’s website is part of this Offering Circular.

 

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

There are no pending legal proceedings to which our company is a party or in which any director, officer or affiliate of our company, any owner of record or beneficially of more than 5% of any class of voting securities of our company, or shareholder is a party adverse to us or has a material interest adverse to us.

BUSINESS

 

History

 

Our company was originally incorporated on December 17, 1998, in the State of Nevada under the name “American Associates Group.” On April 26, 2007, our corporate name was changed to “Clean Hydrogen Producers Ltd.” On April 20, 2017, our corporate name changed to “Golden Developing Solutions, Inc.”

 

On September 28, 2016, Barton Hollow, LLC ("Barton Hollow"), a Nevada limited liability company, and shareholder of our company, filed an Application for Appointment of Custodian in the District Court for Clark County, Nevada. Subsequently, Barton Hollow was appointed custodian of our company by Order of the District Court on November 16, 2016 (the "Order"). In accordance with the Order, Barton Hollow thereafter moved to: (a) reinstate our company with the State of Nevada; (b) provide for the election of interim officers and directors; and (c) call and hold a shareholder meeting. In addition, Barton Hollow elected Adam S. Tracy as our lone officer and director. On November 16, 2016, the Custodian, on our behalf, entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Filakos Agreement”)with Filakos Capital Investments, LLC (“Filakos”) for the purchase of 70,000,000 shares of our common stock. Filakos is beneficially owned and controlled by Stavros A. Triant, a Director of our company and our sold officer.

 

In connection with the Filakos Agreement, the Custodian and then-director of our company caused Mr. Triant to be named our sole officer and director, at which time Mr. Tracy resigned. On May 30, 2017, the District Court discharged the custodianship and control or our operations was returned to our Board of Directors.

 

Since reacquiring control of our operations, our Board of Directors has determined to restructure our company as a holding company, with our subsidiaries to provide services and/or sell products within the cannabis, including industrial hemp, industry. It is possible that we may make one or more strategic acquisitions of businesses and/or assets that would serve to further our business plan. However, as of the date of this Offering Circular, we have entered into any understanding or agreement, formal or informal, in this regard.

 

Current Status

 

We are a start-up company in the industrial hemp / CBD industry developing an online retail business for CBD, hemp oil and health/wellness-related products.

 

CBD is the abbreviation for cannabidiol. Recently, research has shown CBD to have analgesic, anti-inflammatory and anti-anxiety properties without the psychoactive effects (the "high" or "stoned" feeling) that THC provides. (See “Perceived Benefits of CBD” below).

 

Competitive Strengths and Weaknesses

 

With respect to our planned CBD products, we believe our company will possess the following competitive strengths and weaknesses:

 

Competitive Strengths:

 

  our products will produced using only high-quality ingredients
  we enjoy low overhead costs

 

 

 

 

 17 

 

 

Competitive Weaknesses:

 

  our products will not enjoy brand name recognition upon introduction
  we possess limited capital
  we have limited personnel

 

Perceived Benefits of CBD

 

The current growth in sales of CBD products is primarily due to perceived benefits expressed by those who have used CBD products. While our company will not make any claims as to the effectiveness or potential benefits of CBD, the following perceived benefits expressed by those who have used CBD products include, among others:

 

  Relief for Chronic Pain
  Promotes Healthy Weight
  Reduces Seizures
  Improves Heart Health
  Reduces Anxiety and Depression
  Improves Skin Conditions
  Reduces Inflammation

Business Strategy

 

We are a start-up company in the industrial hemp / CBD industry developing an online retail business for CBD, hemp oil and health/wellness-related products. Through our planned online retail business, we will offer a broad range of price-competitive products, including traditional vitamins, supplements and CBD-based tinctures, vapes, softgels, among other products.

 

We will sell our products and services through our planned website (the “Website”). We are currently developing an online store whose merchandise will include hemp-related products, CBD-related products and additional products focusing on health and lifestyle.

We are developing an online retail business for CBD, hemp oil and health/wellness related products. Through our online retail business, we will offer a broad range of price-competitive products, including traditional vitamins, supplements, and CBD based tinctures, vapes, softgels, among other products.

 

We will sell our products and services through the Website, which is expected to be completed in the near future. We are developing an online store as part of the Website whose merchandise includes hemp related products, CBD (Cannabidiol) related products and additional products focusing on health and lifestyle.

 

Initially, we intend to carry in excess of 10 products from two suppliers. We intend to place directed advertising throughout the online store. Advertising will originate through internet or direct-advertising sales by our company. We may also use social media outlets such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, in an effort to attract customers with product specific advertisements or posts.

As an online retail store operating with distribution hub, we expect that we will be able to scale rapidly our products and services with minimal marginal costs. Each additional brand, category or product that we add to our platform is expected to add negligible server hosting costs. It is expected also to allow us to have a virtual presence and exposure to every available market without establishing a costly physical presence therein. This would minimize the costs of scaling and required capital while, at the same time, offering a direct role in the CBD industry.

 

Our oil and extracts division is to focus on online sales of formulated CBD/hemp oil tinctures, softgels and capsules. We are in the process of acquiring trademarks relative to our products. Agreements with raw material suppliers and related products have been obtained. All product supply will be derived from domestic sources with white label agreements, when needed. We intend to implement an online marketing program in an effort to drive fast-paced sales growth. Orders will be handled online and shipped via appropriate carriers from our inventory in a leased warehouse facility. In addition, drop-shipping may be used during our initial operational phases. We believe our target customers for our CBD/hemp products will expect the highest of quality and consistency, and our pricing will be based on those requirements. We expect to be price and quality competitive on the higher end of that scale. We will establish that all of our products are 100% customer satisfaction guaranteed and any products not deemed to be of quality will be able to be returned for a refund.

 

We intend to develop and offer private label brands. We intend to change regularly our product assortment to meet the evolving preferences of our customers and current industry trends. We intend that our product line will include, CBD-oil based items and, to a some extent, traditional vitamins and supplements, among others.

 

Retail Direct Business

 

Our retail direct business will include sales made to individual consumers and businesses from our owned inventory which are fulfilled primarily from our warehouse. We have leased a warehouse with 2,500 square feet located in New York.

 

Generally, we will require authorization from credit card or other payment vendors whose services we will utilize for receipt of payment, before we ship products to consumers or business purchasers.

 

Growth Strategies for Our E-Commerce Business

 

Our growth strategies for the Website business include:

 

Invest in branding and marketing - We believe that some of our direct competitors spend significantly higher percentages of their revenue on marketing, and that we need to increase our branding and marketing expenditures in order to increase our market share in the e-commerce health and wellness market, and educate consumers about our current position as an online retailer offering a wide assortment of health, wellness, CBD/hemp oil products with reasonable prices ,and with a high level of customer service.

 

Expand investment in technology platforms - We have invested in building platforms that automate vendor management, product pricing, website personalization and search relevance. We want to make additional investments in automation, technology and engineering resources because we believe they can improve our customers' shopping experience.

 

Expand rewards program to enhance customer loyalty - We believe that membership in a rewards program will increase customer engagement. We want to make investments in the program, primarily to increase member benefits and to develop additional personalization programs. We believe that this will increase the attractiveness of the program to customers.

 

Accelerate - Our strategy is to add private label product brands. We are now in the process of developing and will initially offer on the Website private label brands of others. We believe that private label brands can generate significant brand equity and customer loyalty.

 

 

 

 

 19 

 

 

We believe that our customer acquisition costs will, initially, be substantial. We estimate our customer acquisition cost will be at least $45 per customer. We believe that, at this cost level, we still have the ability to operate our business at a profit. However, we also believe that, in the current intensely competitive battle for market share in our e-commerce CBD market, we will need to build market share and need to increase our expenditures substantially to do so.

 

Our ability to pursue some or all of these plans, and the extent to which we would be able to pursue some or all of them, will depend on the resources we have available, including through this offering, and may require significantly more capital than we anticipate.

 

Manufacturer, Supplier and Distribution Relationships

 

We expect that, generally, our manufacturers, distributors or other suppliers will regularly communicate to us the quantity of products that are held in reserve for us. Although our contracts grant us actionable rights to such products, our contracts do not guarantee the availability of those products for a set duration. Our manufacturer, distributors, and supplier relationships will be based on our management’s experience and are expected not to obligate or entitle us to receive merchandise on a long-term or short-term basis. Our manufacturer, distributor and supplier relationships are expected to be non-exclusive and we expect to retain the right to select and change our suppliers at our discretion. In our direct business, we intend to purchase our products from manufacturers, distributors or other suppliers using standard purchase orders. Generally, manufacturers, distributors and suppliers will not control the terms under which products are sold through our Website.

 

Sales and Marketing

 

We intend to use a variety of methods to target our retail consumer audience, including online campaigns, such as advertising through keywords, product listing ads, display ads, search engines, affiliate marketing programs, social coupon websites, portals, banners, e-mail, direct mail, and viral and social media campaigns. We may also do brand advertising through television, radio, print ads, and event sponsorships.

 

Customer Service

 

We are committed to providing superior customer service. We will staff our customer service department with dedicated in-house and outsourced professionals who respond to phone, instant online chat, and e-mail inquiries on products, ordering, shipping status, returns, and other areas of customer inquiry.

 

Technology

 

We are developing the Website with a combination of proprietary technologies and commercially available licensed technologies and solutions to support our retail operations. We will the services of multiple telecommunications companies to obtain connectivity to the internet. We intend to outsource the functionality and maintenance of our computer infrastructure.

 

Competition

 

In General. The market for the sale of CBD-based products is fragmented and intensely competitive. Currently, in the United States, we do not believe that there are any businesses that can demonstrate or claim a dominant market share of the growing CBD products market. Our competitors of CBD-based products include a combination of public and private companies including, cbdMD, Charlotte’s Web, CV Science, Medterra, CBDistillery and Lazarus Naturals. We believe that we will compete based upon the quality of our products. The competitive nature of the CBD industry continues to evolve as the industry matures and new customers enter the marketplace.

 

 

 

 

 20 

 

 

Online. Internet retail is intensely competitive and has relatively low barriers to entry. We believe that competition in this industry is based predominantly on: price, product assortment, product quality, speed of service, shopping convenience, website load time and function, order processing and fulfillment, order delivery time, customer service, mobile app functionality and brand reputation.

 

We will compete with other online retailers and traditional retailers. Many of our competitors will have greater brand recognition, longer operating histories, larger customer bases and significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources than we do. Further, any of them may enter into strategic or commercial relationships with larger, more established and well-financed companies, including exclusive distribution arrangements with our vendors or service suppliers that could deny us access to key products or needed services, or acquisitions of our suppliers or service providers, having the same effect. Many of them do or could devote greater resources to marketing and promotional campaigns and devote substantially more resources to their website and systems development than we will be able to do. Many have supply chain operations that decrease product shipping times to their customers, have options for in-store product pick-up, allow in-store returns, or offer other delivery and returns options that we may not be able to install. New technologies, the continued enhancement of existing technologies, developments in related areas, such as same-day product deliveries, and the development of proprietary delivery systems increase competitive pressures on our company. We believe that many of our competitors operate with more capital and have more financial flexibility to invest in growth than we will have.

 

Government Regulations

 

On December 20, 2018, the President of the United States signed the Farm Bill into law. Among other things, this new law changed certain federal authorities relating to the production and marketing of hemp, defined as cannabis (Cannabis sativa L.), and derivatives of cannabis with extremely low (less than 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis) concentrations of the psychoactive compound delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). These changes included removing hemp and derivatives of hemp from the Controlled Substances Act, which means that it is no longer an illegal substance under federal law, which has paved the way for the growth of the industry. On October 31, 2019, the USDA issued an interim final rule regarding the Establishment of a Domestic Hemp Production Program which authorized hemp to be grown and processed legally in the United States and made it legal to transport in interstate commerce. Although this interim final rule became effective on the date of publication, there is a possibility it will be modified from its current application.

 

The Farm Bill recognizes hemp as distinct from its genetic cousin, marijuana, and, specifically, industrial hemp has been excluded from U.S. drug laws. The Farm Bill allows for each individual state to regulate industrial hemp and industrial hemp based products or accept the USDA rules. Although no longer a controlled substance under federal law, cannabinoids derived from industrial hemp (other than THC) are still subject to various state regulations.

 

In conjunction with the enactment of the Farm Bill, the FDA released a statement about the status of CBD and the agency’s actions in the short term with regards to CBD will guide the industry. The statement noted that the Farm Bill explicitly preserved the FDA’s authority to regulate products containing cannabis or cannabis-derived compounds under the FDCA and Section 351 of the Public Health Service Act. This authority allows the FDA to continue enforcing the law to protect patients and the public while also providing potential regulatory pathways for products containing cannabis and cannabis-derived compounds. The statement also noted the growing public interest in cannabis and cannabis-derived products, including CBD, and informed the public that the FDA will treat products containing cannabis or cannabis-derived compounds as it does any other FDA-regulated products — meaning the products will be subject to the same authorities and requirements as FDA-regulated products containing any other substance, regardless of the source of the substance, including whether the substance is derived from a plant that is classified as hemp under the Farm Bill.

 

As of the date of this Offering Circular, and based upon publicly available information, to our knowledge, the FDA has not taken any enforcement actions against CBD companies. The FDA has, however, sent warning letters to companies demanding they cease and desist from the production, distribution or advertising of CBD products, only relating to instances that such CBD companies have made misleading and unapproved label claims. We will continue to monitor the FDA’s position on CBD.

 

 

 

 

 21 

 

 

We will be subject to federal and state consumer protection laws, including laws protecting the privacy of customer non-public information and the handling of customer complaints and regulations prohibiting unfair and deceptive trade practices. The growth and demand for online commerce has resulted, and may continue to result, in more stringent consumer protection laws that impose additional compliance burdens on online companies. These laws may cover issues, such as user privacy, spyware and the tracking of consumer activities, marketing e-mails and communications, other advertising and promotional practices, money transfers, pricing, product safety, content and quality of products and services, taxation, electronic contracts and other communications and information security.

 

Intellectual Property

 

In General. We regard our rights to intellectual property pertaining to our future trademarks and our business know-how as having significant value and as being an important factor in the marketing of our future products. Our policy is to establish, enforce and protect our intellectual property rights using the intellectual property laws.

 

Patents. Currently, we own no interest in any patent or patent application. None of the products that we intend to sell in our business is the subject of any patent or patent application. Due to such lack of patent protection, neither our company nor our licensor may be able to defend our or its rights to such intellectual property. (See “Risk Factors”).

 

Trademarks. Currently, we own no interest in any trademark or trademark application. It is intended that we will file for the registration of any future trademarks developed by us with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

COVID-19

 

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 (coronavirus) outbreak a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern” and on March 10, 2020, declared it to be a pandemic. The virus and actions taken to mitigate its spread have had and are expected to continue to have a broad adverse impact on the economies and financial markets of many countries, including the geographical areas in which the Company operates. The Company continues to execute its business plan. At the present time, the Company can not predict the full impact of the COVID-19 virus on its business.

Plan of Business

 

We are developing an online retail business for CBD, hemp oil and health/wellness related products. Through our online retail business, we will offer a broad range of price-competitive products, including traditional vitamins, supplements, and CBD based tinctures, vapes, softgels, among other products.

   50,000    37,952 
Net cash used in financing activities from discontinued operations        
Net cash used in financing activities  $50,000   $37,952 

 

Operating Activities. The cash used in operating activities from continuing operations of $49,827 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily due working capital and general and administrative expenses during the period.

 

Financing Activities. The cash provided by financing activities from continuing operations of $50,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was from the proceeds of $50,000 from issuance of a convertible note. The cash provided by financing activities from continuing operations of $37,952 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was from the proceeds of $37,000 from issuance of a convertible note and proceeds of $20,792 from a previous line of credit, partially offset by repayment of notes payable of $19,840.

 

We are a public company and as such we have incurred and will continue to incur significant expenses for legal, accounting and related services. As a public entity, subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act of 1934, we incur ongoing expenses associated with professional fees for accounting, legal and a host of other expenses including annual reports and proxy statements, if required. We estimate that these costs will increase over the next few years and may be significantly higher if our business volume and transactional activity increases. These obligations will certainly reduce our ability and resources to expand our business plan and activities.

 

December 31, 2020. The following is a summary of our company’s cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Operating Activities. Net cash used in operating activities was $142,022 for the year ended December 31, 2020, as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $862,239 during the same period in 2019. The current period cash outflows relate to the decrease in operations of the Company during 2020. The Company’s net loss of $1,118,444 included a total of $814,182 of non-cash items.

 

Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $0 for the year ended December 31, 2020, as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $104,755 during the same period in 2019.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $37,952 for the year ended December 31, 2020, as compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $1,067,184 during the same period in 2019. The current period amounts consist of $20,792 in net proceeds from lines of credit and notes payable and $37,000 from a convertible note payable. The Company paid a total of $19,840 against its various debt instruments during the year ended December 31, 2020.

 

Going Concern

 

As of September 30, 2021, we had $173 of cash and we had no revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, to meet our ongoing operating expenses and liabilities of $1,703,297, all of which are due within 12 months. Due to these circumstances, our unaudited financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2021, include a “going concern” note disclosing that our ability to continue as a going concern is contingent on us being able to raise working capital to grow our operations and generate revenue.

 

In addition, our auditor has issued a “going concern” qualification as part of its opinion in the Audit Report for the year ending December 31, 2020. The accompanying financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, have been prepared assuming that our company will continue as a going concern. We had incurred substantial losses during the year ended December 31, 2019, and, as of December 31, 2019, we had a working capital deficit. These factors gave rise to substantial doubt that our company would continue as a going concern. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we had $0 cash and no revenue to meets our ongoing operating expenses and liabilities of $1,143,158, all of which are due within 12 months, and, as of December 31, 2020, we still had a working capital deficit; accordingly, the substantial doubt of our company’s ability to continue as a going concern that existed at December 31, 2019, was not alleviated and is still outstanding at December 31, 2020, and up through the date of this Offering Circular.

 

The financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes our company will be able to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. We anticipate future losses in the development of our business, raising substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our generating profitable operations in the future and, or, obtaining the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with loans or contributions from related parties and, or, the sale of common stock for cash. There is no assurance that this series of events will be satisfactorily completed.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The SEC has defined a company’s critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of the company’s financial condition and results of operations, and which require the company to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. We believe that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable under the circumstances; however, actual results may vary from these estimates and assumptions.

We do not believe that any other recently issued effective pronouncements, or pronouncements issued but not yet effective, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources and would be considered material to investors.

 

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

 

We use the liability method, where deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting purposes. We have incurred net losses in past years and, therefore, have no tax liability.

 

We reported no uncertain tax liability as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and expect no significant change to the uncertain tax liability over the next twelve months.

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

We apply Topic 718 “Share-Based Payments” (“Topic 718”) to share-based compensation, which requires the measurement of the cost of services received in exchange for an award of an equity instrument based on the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation cost is recognized when the event occurs. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model is used to estimate the fair value of options granted.

 

We account for equity-based transactions with non-employees under the provisions of ASC Topic No. 505-50, “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees” (“Topic No. 505-50”). Topic No. 505-50 establishes that equity-based payment transactions with non-employees shall be measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We recognize revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Prior to the disposal of the Layer Six business, we primarily earned revenue from subscription services for its online and mobile cannabis services hub, www.wheresweed.com. This online and mobile service hub allows marijuana businesses to advertise their location and services offered and allows users of our website to locate nearby cannabis businesses. As discussed in Note 3 to our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, we disposed of the Layer Six business in January 2020, and therefore the results of operations, including all revenue, are included in net loss from discontinued operations. With the acquisition of the Infusionz LLC assets in 2019, we also recognized revenue from the sales of cannabinoid-based products. The Infusionz business was disposed of in October 2019, and all revenue from the period of ownership of the business is included in net loss from discontinued operations. We have also developed an online retail business for CBD, hemp oil and health/wellness related products through the Pura Vida joint venture. We have not yet begun to sell inventory products through this online retail business.

 

Revenue is recognized when control of the services is transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration our company expects to be entitled to in exchange for the services.

 

 

 

 

 28 

 

 

Revenue is recognized based on the following five step model:

 

  - Identification of the contract with a customer
  - Identification of the performance obligations in the contract
  - Determination of the transaction price
  - Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
  - Recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation

 

Performance Obligations

 

We generate revenue from sales of cannabinoid products. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, we allocate the total transaction price to each performance obligation in an amount based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices of the promised goods or services underlying each performance obligation. We use an observable price to determine the stand-alone selling price for separate performance obligations or a cost plus margin approach when one is not available. Historically, our contracts have not had multiple performance obligations. Revenue related to the sales of products are recognized at the point in time at which control transfers to the buyer.

 

Sales, value add, and other taxes collected concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. Incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract are recognized as expense. Payment terms between invoicing and when payment is due is less than one year. To date, none of our contracts contained a significant financing component.

 

We elected the practical expedient to not adjust the amount of revenue to be recognized under a contract with an end user for the effects of time value of money when the timing difference between receipt of payment and recognition of revenue is less than one year.

 

Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligations

 

From time to time, we may receive payment for sales of its products from a customer before the goods have shipped. This amount is considered a contract liability and is recorded as deferred revenue. At December 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, we had no revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) at the end of the reporting period.

 

Contract Costs

 

Costs incurred to obtain a customer contract are not material to our company. We elected to apply the practical expedient to not capitalize contract costs to obtain contracts with a duration of one year or less, which are expensed and included within cost of goods and services.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

Estimates are used to determine the amount of variable consideration in contracts, the standalone selling price among separate performance obligations and the measure of progress for contracts where revenue is recognized over time. We review and update these estimates regularly.

 

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, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

As defined in ASC 820” Fair Value Measurements,” fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). We utilize market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. We classify fair value balances based on the observability of those inputs. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation methodologies into the following three levels:

 

  Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and must be used to measure fair value whenever available.
     
  Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
     
  Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs which reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use for pricing an asset or liability. For example, level 3 inputs would relate to forecasts of future earnings and cash flows used in a discounted future cash flows method.

 

The following table summarizes fair value measurements by level at December 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

 

December 31, 2020  Level   Level 2   Level 3   Total 

Assets

                    
None  $   $   $   $ 
                     
Liabilities                    
Derivative Liabilities  $   $   $301,467   $301,467 

 

December 31, 2019  Level   Level 2   Level 3   Total 

Assets

                    
None  $   $   $   $ 
                     
Liabilities                    
Derivative Liabilities  $   $   $   $ 

 

The recorded amounts of financial instruments, including cash equivalents, investments, accounts payable, accrued expenses, note payable and loan from related parties approximate their market values as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, due to the intended short-term maturities of these financial instruments.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In preparing the financial statements, management considered all new pronouncements through the date of the report.

 

 

 

 

 30 

 

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (ASU 2016-02). Under ASU No. 2016-2, an entity is required to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on its balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. ASU No. 2016-02 offers specific accounting guidance for a lessee, a lessor and sale and leaseback transactions. Lessees and lessors are required to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about leasing arrangements to enable a user of the financial statements to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. For public companies, we adopted this standard on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective method. The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. We elected the ‘package of practical expedients’, which permitted us not to reassess under the new standard its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs; and all of the new standard’s available transition practical expedients.

 

On adoption, we recognized additional operating liabilities of $102,878, with corresponding Right of Use assets of the same amount based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments under current leasing standards for its existing operating leases. We do not have any leases classified as a finance lease under ASC 842. See Note 7 for additional information on leases.

 

The new standard also provides practical expedients for a company’s ongoing accounting. We elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for its leases. For those leases with a lease term of 12 months or less, we will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities. We also made an accounting policy election to combine lease and non-lease components of operating leases for all asset classes.

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which aligns the accounting for share-based payment awards issued to employees and nonemployees. Under ASU No. 2018-07, the existing employee guidance will apply to nonemployee share-based transactions (as long as the transaction is not effectively a form of financing), with the exception of specific guidance related to the attribution of compensation cost. The cost of nonemployee awards will continue to be recorded as if the grantor had paid cash for the goods or services. In addition, the contractual term will be able to be used in lieu of an expected term in the option-pricing model for nonemployee awards. We adopted the provisions of the guidance on January 1, 2019, with no material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

 

We does not believe that any other recently issued effective pronouncements, or pronouncements issued but not yet effective, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

GOLDEN DEVELOPING SOLUTIONS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

 

NOTE 1 DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Description of Business. Golden Developing Solutions, Inc. (the “Company” or “GDS”) was organized as a corporation in Nevada in 1998 as American Associates Group. In 2007 the name was changed to Clean Hydrogen Producers, Ltd before being changed in April of 2017 to Golden Developing Solutions, Inc. The Company has structured itself in 2017 as a cannabis holding company and intends to make additional acquisitions in the industry in the near future.

 

Basis of Presentation. The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Golden Developing Solutions, Inc. have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In our opinion, the financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary in order to make the condensed financial statements not misleading. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the final results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2021. For more complete financial information, these unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. Notes to the consolidated financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the annual financial statements for the most recent fiscal period have been omitted.

 

Use of Estimates in Financial Statement Preparation. 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, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Principles of Consolidation. The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, all of which have a fiscal year end of December 31. All intercompany accounts, balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation. The Company also consolidates any variable interest entities for which the Company is the primary beneficiary based on whether the Company has the ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entities economic performance.

 

On April 27, 2018, the Company incorporated Pura Vida Vitamins, LLC as a wholly owned subsidiary. Pura Vida Vitamins, LLC entered into two consulting agreements with individuals that paid each consultant $6,000 per month in cash, additional bonuses depending on certain sales-related milestones, and 20,500,000 shares each for the completion of certain sales-related milestones, of which none were earned by either consultant. On July 1, 2018, the Company reorganized the entity to be a joint venture in which it owns 50%, in exchange for the cancelation of these consulting agreements. The Company continues to consolidate the operations of Pura Vida Vitamins, LLC due to its ownership interest combined with a controlling vote of the board of directors which make the Company the primary beneficiary of the joint venture with the ability to significant influence and control the activities of the business. The joint venture had no assets and liabilities of $814 of accounts payable as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

 

On September 26, 2018, the Company incorporated Tasos Media LLC as a wholly owned subsidiary.

 

 

 F-5 

 

 

Goodwill, Intangible Assets, and Long-Lived Assets. Goodwill is carried at cost and is not amortized. The Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, relying on a number of factors including operating results, business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows and marketplace data. Company management uses its judgment in assessing whether goodwill has become impaired between annual impairment tests according to specifications set forth in ASC 350.

 

The fair value of the Company’s reporting unit is dependent upon the Company’s estimate of future cash flows and other factors. The Company’s estimates of future cash flows include assumptions concerning future operating performance and economic conditions and may differ from actual future cash flows. Estimated future cash flows are adjusted by an appropriate discount rate derived from the Company’s market capitalization plus a suitable control premium at date of the evaluation.

 

The financial and credit market volatility directly impacts the Company’s fair value measurement through the Company’s weighted average cost of capital that the Company uses to determine its discount rate and through the Company’s stock price that the Company uses to determine its market capitalization. Therefore, changes in the stock price may also affect the amount of impairment recorded.

 

The Company recognizes an acquired intangible asset apart from goodwill whenever the intangible asset arises from contractual or other legal rights, or when it can be separated or divided from the acquired entity and sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged, either individually or in combination with a related contract, asset or liability. Such intangibles are amortized over their useful lives. Impairment losses are recognized if the carrying amount of an intangible asset subject to amortization is not recoverable from expected future cash flows and its carrying amount exceeds its fair value.

 

The Company’s long-lived assets, including intangibles, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. The Company assesses recoverability of the asset by comparing the undiscounted future net cash flows expected to result from the asset to its carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds the undiscounted future net cash flows of the asset, an impairment loss is measured and recognized. An impairment loss is measured as the difference between the net book value and the fair value of the long-lived asset.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

As defined in ASC 820” Fair Value Measurements,” fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. The Company classifies fair value balances based on the observability of those inputs. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation methodologies into the following three levels:

 

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and must be used to measure fair value whenever available.

 

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

 

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs which reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use for pricing an asset or liability. For example, level 3 inputs would relate to forecasts of future earnings and cash flows used in a discounted future cash flows method.

 

 

 F-6 

 

 

 

The following table summarizes fair value measurements by level at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, measured at fair value on a recurring basis: 

                
September 30, 2021  Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total 
Assets                    
None  $   $   $   $ 
                     
Liabilities                    
Derivative liabilities  $   $   $753,475   $753,475 

 

 

December 31, 2020  Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total 
Assets                    
None  $   $   $   $ 
                     
Liabilities                    
Derivative liabilities  $   $   $301,467   $301,467 

 

The recorded amounts of financial instruments, including cash equivalents, investments, accounts payable, accrued expenses, note payable and loan from related parties approximate their market values as of September 30, 2021 and 2020 due to the intended short-term maturities of these financial instruments.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

Fair value accounting requires bifurcation of embedded derivative instruments such as conversion features in convertible debt or equity instruments and measurement of their fair value for accounting purposes. In assessing the convertible debt instruments, management determines if the convertible debt host instrument is conventional convertible debt and further if there is a beneficial conversion feature requiring measurement. If the instrument is not considered conventional convertible debt under ASC 470, the Company will continue its evaluation process of these instruments as derivative financial instruments under ASC 815. The Company applies the guidance in ASC 815-40-35-12 to determine the order in which each convertible instrument would be evaluated for derivative classification. The Company’s policy is to evaluate for reclassification contracts with the earliest maturity date first.

 

Once determined, derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each reporting period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as an adjustment to fair value of derivatives.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses include advertising and promotional costs and research and development costs. Also included in Selling, general and administrative expenses are share-based compensation, certain warehousing fees, non-manufacturing overhead, personnel and related expenses, rent on operating leases, and professional fees.

 

Basic Earning (Loss) Per Share. The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share.” ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Given the net losses of the Company during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the effects of outstanding stock options were anti-dilutive resulting in basic and diluted loss per weighted average common shares outstanding equal. See Note 6. 

 

 

 F-7 

 

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards.

 

The Company does not believe that any other recently issued effective pronouncements, or pronouncements issued but not yet effective, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

 

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN AND LIQUIDITY

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company had incurred substantial losses from inception to date, the Company had a working capital deficit. These factors gave rise to substantial doubt that the Company would continue as a going concern. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company had $173 cash and no revenue to meets its ongoing operating expenses, and liabilities of $1,683,428 all of which are due within 12 months, and as of September 30, 2021, the Company still had a working capital deficit; accordingly, the substantial doubt of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern that existed at December 31, 2020 was not alleviated and is still outstanding at September 30, 2021 and up through the date of this report.

 

The financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company anticipates future losses in the development of its business raising substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company generating profitable operations in the future and, or, obtaining the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with loans or contributions from related parties and, or the sale of common stock. There is no assurance that this series of events will be satisfactorily completed.

 

Financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

NOTE 3 - DIVESTITURES

  

Layer Six Divestiture

 

On January 27, 2020 (the “Closing Date”) the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Layer Six Sale Agreement”) with Viath, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (“Viath”) controlled by the original sellers of Layer Six, whereby the Company agree to sell the assets and liabilities associated with the Layer Six business that was acquired in 2018.

 

The Termination Agreement provides that the Company will sell all of the Layer Six assets to Viath, along with release from all claims and certain litigation. The Termination Agreement also provides for the termination of the Employment Agreements between the Company and each of David Lindaur and Tyler Batholomew and Bill Anders.

 

The Layer Six Sale Agreement also provides that the associated members of Layer Six will return the 170,454,545 shares of common stock consideration granted to them pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement. The fair value of the stock consideration to be returned to the Company is approximately $477,273 at the time of the Sale Agreement. These shares were returned to the Company and cancelled in February 2020.

 

The Layer Six Termination Agreement qualifies as a discontinued operation in accordance with U.S. GAAP. As a result, operating results and cash flows related to the Infusionz operations have been reflected as discontinued operations in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations, condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and condensed consolidated statements of other comprehensive income/loss for the periods presented.

 

 

 F-8 

 

 

Infusionz Divestiture

 

On October 4, 2019 the Company entered into a Termination Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”) with Infusionz, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (“Infusionz”) on October 4, 2019 (the “Closing Date”), whereby the Company and Infusionz elected to terminate the March 8, 2019 Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”). The Asset Purchase Agreement resulted in the Company’s acquisition of Infusionz’s assets. Infusionz and the Company agreed to unwind the Company’s acquisition of Infusionz’s assets pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement.

 

The Termination Agreement provides that the Company will issue two unsecured promissory notes to Infusionz each in the principal amount of $25,000 with neither of these notes being convertible (the “Notes”).

 F-10 

 

 

In March 2021, the Company entered into a Senior Secured convertible promissory note for an aggregate principal amount of $588,235. The note had an original issue discount of $88,235, bears interest at the greater of Prime plus 8% or 14%. The cash proceeds are to be distributed in tranches, with the first tranche of $65,000 being advanced in March 2021, with $15,000 of the amount paying legal fees related to the note payable and $11,471 of the original issue discount was assigned to this tranche. Each tranche has a maturity date of 9 months from the date of funding of that tranche. The principal and accrued interest are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a fixed price of $0.002. In the event of default, the conversion price will be 60% of the lowest intraday rice during the previous 21 days from conversion. If the Company issues or sells common stock or any instrument that is convertible or exercisable into common stock at a price less than the fixed conversion price, the fixed conversion price shall be reset to such lower price. The holder of these notes is not permitted to convert such notes to the extent that the holder or any of its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the Company’s common stock after such conversion.

 

In connection with promissory note, the Company issued 30,000,000 shares of stock to the lender as a deferred finance cost and granted a warrant to purchase 25,000,000 shares of common stock at a fixed price of $0.006 for a period of 10 years. If the Company issues or sells common stock or any instrument that is convertible or exercisable into common stock at a price less than the fixed conversion price, the fixed conversion price shall be reset to such lower price. Each additional tranche that is borrowed, the Company will issue shares of common stock in the amount of 393 multiplied by the principal amount advanced, and additional warrants for 327 multiplied by the principal amount advanced. The lender will receive an additional 25,000,000 warrants upon fully funding the convertible note payable. The common stock was valued at $0.004 per share for a total fair value of 120,000 and a relative fair value of $22,304, which was recorded as a debt discount. The warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes model with volatility, measurement date Treasury yield curve rate of ten-year bond, closing stock price, convertible period, and conversion price as inputs. The fair value of the warrants was determined to be $99,014, with a relative fair value of $18,403, which was recorded to debt discount.

 

The Company evaluated the embedded conversion feature within the above convertible note payable under ASC 815-15 and ASC 815-40 and determined embedded conversion feature does not meet the definition of a liability. Then the Company evaluated the conversion feature for a beneficial conversion feature at inception. The Company accounted for the intrinsic value of a Beneficial Conversion Feature inherent to the relative fair value of the convertible notes payable and a total debt discount of $9,293 was recorded on the note.

NOTE 6 - LEASES

 

The Company has operating leases for its administrative offices. For purposes of calculating operating lease liabilities, lease terms may be deemed to include options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise those options. Some leasing arrangements require variable payments that are dependent on usage, output, or may vary for other reasons, such as insurance and tax payments. The variable lease payments are not presented as part of the initial ROU asset or lease liability. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material restrictive covenants.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company agreed to settle an existing lease in exchange for a note payable of $15,214, which bears interest at 10% or 22% in the event of default. As of the date of this report, the Company is in default of this note. The Company recognized a loss on settlement of $6,944 related to this agreement during the year ended December 31, 2020.

NOTE 7 - CONTINGENCIES

 

Certain disputes have arisen including former affiliates of the Company. In summary: on or about September, 2018, the Company acquired (the “Sale”) certain assets, promises and representations from Layer Six Media and its four individual owners, at least two of whom, Messrs. Bartholomew and Lindauer became directors and employees of the Company (collectively, for this summary, the “Sellers”). It is the Company belief that the individuals departed from their positions and efforts with the Company some time past only realizing recently the legal effect of their activities and actions including not completing obligations as Sellers and obtaining and utilizing assets of the Company in contravention of agreements, instruments and laws. The objectionable activities included an attorney that had done work for the Company, but also for the others noted. The Company is taking a series of civil legal actions and seeking non-civil assistance in relation to the authorities and this includes, among other actions either underway or to be undertaken shortly, late October, early November, a case filed by the Company against certain of the Sellers and the lawyer in Washington D.C. Superior Court, alleging, among other things, fraud, breach of contract, and conversion. Layer Six Media and certain related parties, the “Sellers” noted above, filed a Colorado, Denver District Court, legal action against the Company, early November, 2019, which the Company just recently became aware of, claiming breach of contract, and other allegations, seeking monetary damages allegedly owed in relation to payments allegedly due as to the original Sale. The Company has engaged and consulted lawyers and advisors and provides this disclosure though it does not believe, in the totality of the Company growth plans, solid legal grounds it will prevail, and other aspects, that it will not experience any adverse legal effect from such litigation and litigation related events.

 

The litigation involving Layer Six Media was dismissed following the Company entering into a sales agreement with Viath LLC. See Note 3.

 

NOTE 8 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

The Company evaluates subsequent events that have occurred after the balance sheet date of September 30, 2021 and up through November 15, 2021, which is the date that these financial statements are available to be issued. There are two types of subsequent events: (i) recognized, or those that provide additional evidence with respect to conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet, including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing financial statements, and (ii) non-recognized, or those that provide evidence with respect to conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose subsequent to that date.

 

In October and November 2021, the Company issued 46,385,221 shares of common stock related to the conversion of a total of $115,000 in principal on the September 18, 2019 convertible note payable.

 

On November 3, 2021 the Company borrowed an additional $58,824 on the March 21, 2021 financing, receiving $50,000 of cash proceeds.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To: The Board of Directors and Stockholders of
  Golden Developing Solutions, Inc.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Golden Developing Solutions, Inc., and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years in two-year period ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Emphasis of Matter

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company had incurred substantial losses during the year ended December 31, 2019 and as of December 31, 2019, the Company had a working capital deficit. These factors gave rise to substantial doubt that the Company would continue as a going concern. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company continued to incur substantial losses, and as of December 31, 2020, the Company still had a working capital deficit; accordingly, the substantial doubt of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern that existed at December 31, 2019 was not alleviated and is still out standing at December 31, 2020 and up through the date of this report. Management’s plans to address this substantial doubt is set forth in Note 2. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainly.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

GOLDEN DEVELOPING SOLUTIONS, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Description of Business. Golden Developing Solutions, Inc. (the “Company” or “GDS”) was organized as a corporation in Nevada in 1998 as American Associates Group. In 2007 the name was changed to Clean Hydrogen Producers, Ltd before being changed in April of 2017 to Golden Developing Solutions, Inc. The Company has structured itself in 2017 as a cannabis holding company and intends to make additional acquisitions in the industry in the near future.

  

Use of Estimates in Financial Statement Preparation. 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, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Principles of Consolidation. The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, all of which have a fiscal year end of December 31. All intercompany accounts, balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation. The Company also consolidates any variable interest entities for which the Company is the primary beneficiary based on whether the Company has the ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entities economic performance.

 

On April 27, 2018, the Company incorporated Pura Vida Vitamins, LLC as a wholly owned subsidiary. Pura Vida Vitamins, LLC entered into two consulting agreements with individuals that paid each consultant $6,000 per month in cash, additional bonuses depending on certain sales-related milestones, and 20,500,000 shares each for the completion of certain sales-related milestones, of which none were earned by either consultant. On July 1, 2018, the Company reorganized the entity to be a joint venture in which it owns 50%, in exchange for the cancelation of these consulting agreements. The Company continues to consolidate the operations of Pura Vida Vitamins, LLC due to its ownership interest combined with a controlling vote of the board of directors which make the Company the primary beneficiary of the joint venture with the ability to significant influence and control the activities of the business. The joint venture had no assets and liabilities of $789 of accounts payable as of December 31, 2019. Selling, general and administrative expense includes $102,391 of expense related to Pura Vida Vitamins, LLC, including depreciation expense of $10,460 and inventory impairment of $91,931.

 

On September 26, 2018, the Company incorporated Tasos Media LLC as a wholly owned subsidiary.

 

On March 9, 2019, the Company incorporated CBD Infusionz, LLC as a wholly owned subsidiary.

 

On October 4, 2019, the Company entered into a termination agreement related to its CBD Infusionz business to dispose of the operations of that business. See Note 3 for additional information.

 

On January 27, 2020, the Company entered into a termination agreement related to its Layer Six acquisition to dispose of the operations of that business. See Note 3 for additional information.

 

Reclassifications. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period financial statement presentation, including the discontinued operations presentation resulting from the sale of the Company’s Infusionz operations in October 2019 and from the sale of the Layer Six business in January 2020. See Note 3.

 

Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, using the first-in, first-out method. The Company reviews its inventory for obsolescence and any inventory identified as obsolete is reserved or written off. The Company’s determination of obsolescence is based on assumptions about the demand for its products, product expiration dates, estimated future sales, and management’s future plans.

 

 

 

 F-19 

 

 

As of December 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, inventory consists of the following components:

 

   December 31, 2020   December 31, 2019 
Raw materials and supplies  $   $ 
Finished products        
Total inventory  $   $ 

 

The Company fully impaired its inventory held by Pura Vida as of December 31, 2019

 

Goodwill, Intangible Assets, and Long-Lived Assets. Goodwill is carried at cost and is not amortized. The Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, relying on a number of factors including operating results, business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows and marketplace data. Company management uses its judgment in assessing whether goodwill has become impaired between annual impairment tests according to specifications set forth in ASC 350.

 

The fair value of the Company’s reporting unit is dependent upon the Company’s estimate of future cash flows and other factors. The Company’s estimates of future cash flows include assumptions concerning future operating performance and economic conditions and may differ from actual future cash flows. Estimated future cash flows are adjusted by an appropriate discount rate derived from the Company’s market capitalization plus a suitable control premium at date of the evaluation.

 

The financial and credit market volatility directly impacts the Company’s fair value measurement through the Company’s weighted average cost of capital that the Company uses to determine its discount rate and through the Company’s stock price that the Company uses to determine its market capitalization. Therefore, changes in the stock price may also affect the amount of impairment recorded.

 

The Company recognizes an acquired intangible asset apart from goodwill whenever the intangible asset arises from contractual or other legal rights, or when it can be separated or divided from the acquired entity and sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged, either individually or in combination with a related contract, asset or liability. Such intangibles are amortized over their useful lives. Impairment losses are recognized if the carrying amount of an intangible asset subject to amortization is not recoverable from expected future cash flows and its carrying amount exceeds its fair value.

 

The Company’s long-lived assets, including intangibles, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. The Company assesses recoverability of the asset by comparing the undiscounted future net cash flows expected to result from the asset to its carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds the undiscounted future net cash flows of the asset, an impairment loss is measured and recognized. An impairment loss is measured as the difference between the net book value and the fair value of the long-lived asset. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $2,204,160 related to the disposal of its CBD Infusionz business in October 2019, recognized an impairment loss of $3,456,170 related to the Layer Six Divestiture classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2019. See Note 3.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company paid $75,000 towards the purchase of new equipment. The purchase was abandoned as of December 31, 2020; therefore, the deposit of equipment was written off as expense.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

As defined in ASC 820” Fair Value Measurements,” fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. The Company classifies fair value balances based on the observability of those inputs. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation methodologies into the following three levels:

 

 

 

 F-20 

 

 

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and must be used to measure fair value whenever available.

 

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

 

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs which reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use for pricing an asset or liability. For example, level 3 inputs would relate to forecasts of future earnings and cash flows used in a discounted future cash flows method.

 

The following table summarizes fair value measurements by level at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

 

December 31, 2020  Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total 
Assets                    
None  $   $   $   $ 
                     
Liabilities                    
Derivative liabilities  $   $   $301,467   $301,467 

 

 

December 31, 2019  Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total 
Assets                    
None  $   $   $   $ 
                     
Liabilities                    
None  $   $   $   $ 

 

The recorded amounts of financial instruments, including cash equivalents, investments, accounts payable, accrued expenses, note payable and loan from related parties approximate their market values as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 due to the intended short-term maturities of these financial instruments.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

Fair value accounting requires bifurcation of embedded derivative instruments such as conversion features in convertible debt or equity instruments and measurement of their fair value for accounting purposes. In assessing the convertible debt instruments, management determines if the convertible debt host instrument is conventional convertible debt and further if there is a beneficial conversion feature requiring measurement. If the instrument is not considered conventional convertible debt under ASC 470, the Company will continue its evaluation process of these instruments as derivative financial instruments under ASC 815. The Company applies the guidance in ASC 815-40-35-12 to determine the order in which each convertible instrument would be evaluated for derivative classification. The Company’s policy is to evaluate for reclassification contracts with the earliest maturity date first.

 

Once determined, derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each reporting period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as an adjustment to fair value of derivatives.

 

Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Prior to the disposal of the Layer Six business, the Company primarily earned revenue from subscription services for its online and mobile cannabis services hub, www.wheresweed.com. This online and mobile service hub allows marijuana business to advertise their location and services offered and allows users of the Company’s website to locate nearby cannabis businesses. As discussed in Note 3, the Company disposed of the Layer Six business in January 2020, and therefore the results of operations, including all revenue, are included in net loss from discontinued operations. With the acquisition of the Infusionz LLC assets in 2019, the Company also recognized revenue from the sales of cannabinoid-based products. The Infusionz business was disposed of in October 2019, and all revenue from the period of ownership of the business is included in net loss from discontinued operations. The Company has also developed an online retail business for CBD, hemp oil and health/wellness related products through the Pura Vida joint venture. The Company has not yet begun to sell inventory products through this online retail business as of December 31, 2020.

 

 

 

 F-21 

 

 

Revenue is recognized when control of the services is transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for the services.

 

Revenue is recognized based on the following five step model:

 

  - Identification of the contract with a customer
  - Identification of the performance obligations in the contract
  - Determination of the transaction price
  - Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
  - Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation

 

 

Performance Obligations

 

Through the Layer Six business, the Company generates revenue from subscriptions to the Company’s online services and sales of cannabinoid products. Subscription revenue is recognized on a ratable basis over the contract term beginning on the date that the service is made available to the customer. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the total transaction price to each performance obligation in an amount based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices of the promised goods or services underlying each performance obligation. The Company uses an observable price to determine the stand-alone selling price for separate performance obligations or a cost plus margin approach when one is not available. Historically the Company’s contracts have not had multiple performance obligations. For subscription revenue, the Company’s performance obligations are recognized over a time period equal to the length of the subscription period, which is generally 30 days. Revenue related to the sales of products are recognized at the point in time at which control transfers to the buyer.

 

Sales, value add, and other taxes collected concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. Incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract are recognized as expense. Payment terms between invoicing and when payment is due is less than one year. As of December 31, 2020, none of the Company’s contracts contained a significant financing component.

 

The Company elected the practical expedient to not adjust the amount of revenue to be recognized under a contract with an end user for the effects of time value of money when the timing difference between receipt of payment and recognition of revenue is less than one year.

 

Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligations

 

The subscription revenue for its website services is collected up front for a 30 day period. At the end of each reporting period, the Company performs a calculation to determine the portion of that period for which services have not yet been provided. From time to time, the Company may receive payment for sales of its products from a customer before the goods have shipped. This amount is considered a contract liability and is recorded as deferred revenue. At December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had no revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) at the end of the reporting period.

 

Contract Costs

 

Costs incurred to obtain a customer contract are not material to the Company. The Company elected to apply the practical expedient to not capitalize contract costs to obtain contracts with a duration of one year or less, which are expensed and included within cost of goods and services.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

Estimates are used to determine the amount of variable consideration in contracts, the standalone selling price among separate performance obligations and the measure of progress for contracts where revenue is recognized over time. The Company reviews and updates these estimates regularly.

 

 

 

 F-22 

 

 

Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue includes costs of managed hosting providers and amortization of acquired software-related intangible assets, and personnel related costs associated with hosting our subscription services, maintenance and testing of the platform and providing technical support to customers. Additionally, cost of revenue includes all costs to purchase and assemble the cannabinoid-based products previously sold by the Company prior to the disposition of the Infusionz business.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses include advertising and promotional costs and research and development costs. Also included in Selling, general and administrative expenses are share-based compensation, certain warehousing fees, non-manufacturing overhead, personnel and related expenses, rent on operating leases, and professional fees. Advertising and promotional costs are expensed as incurred and totaled $639 and $26,844 in the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

 

Stock-Based Compensation. The Company applies Topic 718 “Share-Based Payments” (“Topic 718”) to share-based compensation, which requires the measurement of the cost of services received in exchange for an award of an equity instrument based on the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation cost is recognized when the event occurs. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model is used to estimate the fair value of options granted.

 

The Company accounts for equity-based transactions with non-employees under the provisions of ASC Topic No. 505-50, “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees” (“Topic No. 505-50”). Topic No. 505-50 establishes that equity-based payment transactions with non-employees shall be measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

 

Income Taxes. The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740-10, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year; and, (ii) deferred tax consequences of temporary differences resulting from matters that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if, based on the weight of available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. ASC 740-10 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition of a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740-10, a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position taken or expected to be taken may be recognized only if it is “more likely than not” that the position is sustainable upon examination, based on its technical merits. The tax benefit of a qualifying position under ASC 740-10 would equal the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority having full knowledge of all the relevant information. A liability (including interest and penalties, if applicable) is established to the extent a current benefit has been recognized on a tax return for matters that are considered contingent upon the outcome of an uncertain tax position. Related interest and penalties, if any, are included as components of income tax expense and income taxes payable.

 

Basic Earnings (Loss) Per Share. The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share.” ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Given the net losses of the Company during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the effects of outstanding stock options were anti-dilutive resulting in basic and diluted loss per weighted average common shares outstanding equal. See Note 6.

 

Related Parties. The registrant follows ASC 850-10 for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.

 

Pursuant to Section 850-10-20 the Related parties include (a) affiliates of the registrant; (b) entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of Section 825 10 15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; (c) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; (d) principal owners of the registrant; © management of the registrant; (f) other parties with which the registrant may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and (g) Other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

 

 

 

 F-23 

 

 

(a)The financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include:a) the nature of the relationship(s) involved; (b) description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; (c) the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and (d) amounts due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company paid $100,288 and $36,000 of consulting fees to a company controlled by a Director of the Company.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (ASU 2016-02). Under ASU No. 2016-2, an entity is required to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on its balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. ASU No. 2016-02 offers specific accounting guidance for a lessee, a lessor and sale and leaseback transactions. Lessees and lessors are required to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about leasing arrangements to enable a user of the financial statements to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. For public companies, The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective method. The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. The Company elected the ‘package of practical expedients’, which permitted the Company not to reassess under the new standard its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs; and all of the new standard’s available transition practical expedients.

 

On adoption, the Company recognized additional operating liabilities of $102,878, with corresponding Right of Use assets of the same amount based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments under current leasing standards for its existing operating leases. Company does not have any leases classified as a finance lease under ASC 842. See Note 7 for additional information on leases.

 

The new standard also provides practical expedients for a company’s ongoing accounting. The Company elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for its leases. For those leases with a lease term of 12 months or less, the Company will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities. The Company also made an accounting policy election to combine lease and non-lease components of operating leases for all asset classes.

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 71–) - Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which aligns the accounting for share-based payment awards issued to employees and nonemployees. Under ASU No. 2018-07, the existing employee guidance will apply to nonemployee share-based transactions (as long as the transaction is not effectively a form of financing), with the exception of specific guidance related to the attribution of compensation cost. The cost of nonemployee awards will continue to be recorded as if the grantor had paid cash for the goods or services. In addition, the contractual term will be able to be used in lieu of an expected term in the option-pricing model for nonemployee awards. The Company adopted the provisions of the guidance on January 1, 2019 with no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

 

The Company does not believe that any other recently issued effective pronouncements, or pronouncements issued but not yet effective, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

 

NOTE–2 - GOING CONCERN AND LIQUIDITY

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company had incurred substantial losses during the year ended December 31, 2019 and as of December 31, 2019, the Company had a working capital deficit. These factors gave rise to substantial doubt that the Company would continue as a going concern. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company had $0 cash and no revenue to meets its ongoing operating expenses, and liabilities of $1,143,158 all of which are due within 12 months, and as of December 31, 2020, the Company still had a working capital deficit; accordingly, the substantial doubt of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern that existed at December 31, 2019 was not alleviated and is still outstanding at December 31, 2020 and up through the date of this report.

 

The financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company anticipates future losses in the development of its business raising substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company generating profitable operations in the future and, or, obtaining the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with loans or contributions from related parties and, or, the sale of common stock. There is no assurance that this series of events will be satisfactorily completed.

Financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

NOTE 3 – ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES

 

Layer Six Divestiture

 

On January 27, 2020 (the “Closing Date”) the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Layer Six Sale Agreement”) with Viath, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (“Viath”) controlled by the original sellers of Layer Six, whereby the Company agree to sell the assets and liabilities associated with the Layer Six business.

 

The Termination Agreement provides that the Company will sell all of the Layer Six assets to Viath, along with release from all claims and certain litigation. The Termination Agreement also provides for the termination of the Employment Agreements between the Company and each of David Lindaur and Tyler Batholomew and Bill Anders.

 

The Layer Six Sale Agreement also provides that the associated members of Layer Six will return the 170,454,545 shares of common stock consideration granted to them pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement. The fair value of the stock consideration to be returned to the Company is approximately $477,273 at the time of the Sale Agreement. These shares were returned to the Company and cancelled in February 2020.

 

As a result of this Termination Agreement, the assets and liabilities of the Layer Six operations have been reflected as assets and liabilities held for sale in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as follows:

 

   As of
December 31, 2019
 
Property and Equipment, net  $5,191 
Intangible assets, net   2,985,271

Accounts Payable and accrued expenses   560,666 
Acquisition notes payable   3,432,989 
Liabilities related to assets held for sale  $3,993,655 

 

The Layer Six Termination Agreement qualifies as a discontinued operation in accordance with U.S. GAAP. As a result, operating results and cash flows related to the Infusionz operations have been reflected as discontinued operations in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations, condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and condensed consolidated statements of other comprehensive income/loss for the periods presented.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded an impairment loss on its goodwill balance related to the Layer Six Acquisition of $3,456,170, based on an analysis of the consideration received in January 2020 related to the Sale agreement.

 

Infusionz Acquisition

 

In March 2019, the Company purchased the assets of CBD Infusionz, LLC, a Colorado based company. The transaction was accounted for as a business combination.

    Amount  
147,250,382 shares of common stock   $ 2,635,782  
Note payable     2,400,000  
Total consideration transferred   $ 5,035,782  

 

 

 

 

 F-25 

 

 

The note payable was unsecured, bears interest at 3% per year and is due in 24 equal monthly installments beginning in June 2019. The Company paid $100,000 on this note during the year ended December 31, 2019, and the Company was in default of this obligation as of December 31, 2019. Interest accrues at 15% per year in the event of default.

 

In conjunction with the Infusions Acquisition, the Company agreed to fund the new subsidiary with $300,000 of cash, with $150,000 provided during the year ended December 31, 2019. These transactions were recorded as intercompany transactions and eliminate upon consolidation. The Company entered into an employment with two employees of CBD Infusionz. The employees were to receive a combined total salary of $270,000 per year over the two-year term of the agreement, with automatic one-year renewals thereafter. The Company issued a total 112,994,350 stock options with exercise prices of $0.018 to two employees of Infusionz LLC, with half vested immediately upon execution of the agreement, and the remainder vesting monthly over a two-year term. The options had a 10-year exercise period, and an exercise price based on the closing price of the Company’s stock at the execution of the agreement. See Note 6.

 

The employment agreements also provide for combined earn out payments of up to $2,000,000 over a period of four years depending on sales targets being met, with $500,000 in each of the four years. The Company determined that these payments qualified as compensation for future services of the sellers.

 

As part of the acquisition, a company controlled by a Director of the Company will be paid a fee of $150,000 by the sellers of Infusionz, LLC for representation of the sellers of Infusionz, LLC. The $150,000 fee is related to an agreement between the sellers of Infusionz, LLC and the director for brokering the sale of their business. The entire fee of $150,000 is included as part of the purchase price and not recorded as an expense. The Company did not incur any portion of this broker fee and did not receive any benefit from the services provided by this individual to earn the fee.

NOTE 5 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

As defined in ASC 820” Fair Value Measurements,” fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. The Company classifies fair value balances based on the observability of those inputs. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurement).

 

The following table summarizes fair value measurements by level at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

 

December 31, 2020  Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total 
Assets                    
None  $   $   $   $ 
                     
Liabilities                    
Derivative liabilities  $   $   $301,467   $301,467 

 

December 31, 2019  Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total 
Assets                    
None  $   $   $   $ 
                     
Liabilities                    
None  $   $   $   $ 

 

 

Short-term instruments, including cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, line of credit, and short-term notes are measured at amortized cost which is approximate fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments.

 

NOTE 6 - DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

 

As discussed in Note 4 – Convertible Notes Payable, the Company analyzed the conversion features of the agreements for derivative accounting consideration under ASC 815-15 “Derivatives and Hedging” and determined that the embedded conversion features should be classified as a derivative because the exercise price of these convertible notes are subject to a variable conversion rate. The Company has determined that the conversion feature is not considered to be solely indexed to the Company’s own stock and is therefore not afforded equity treatment. In accordance with AC 815, the Company has bifurcated the conversion feature of the notes and recorded a derivative liability.

 

The embedded derivatives for the notes are carried on the Company’s balance sheet at fair value. The derivative liability is marked- to-market each measurement period and any unrealized change in fair value is recorded as a component of the income statement and the associated fair value carrying amount on the balance sheet is adjusted by the change.

 

 

 

 F-29 

 

 

The fair value of the embedded derivatives for the notes were determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the following assumptions during the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020: (1) dividend yield of 0%, (2) expected volatility ranging from 203% - 242%, (3) risk- free interest rate ranging from 0.09% – 0.16%, (4) expected life 0.5 - 1 year, and (5) estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock ranging from $0.0015 - $0.0018 per share. The instrument was fair valued on the date it became convertible and the period end date of December 31, 2020.

 

The table below presents the change in the fair value of the derivative liability:

 

Fair value as of December 31, 2019  $ 
Fair value on the date of issuance recorded as debt discounts   156,889 
Day 1 loss   162,600 
Gain on change in fair value of derivatives   (18,022)
Fair value as of Current period end  $301,467

NOTE 6 – INCOME TAXES

 

The Company uses the liability method, where deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting purposes.

NOTE 7 - LEASES

 

The Company has operating leases for its administrative offices. For purposes of calculating operating lease liabilities, lease terms may be deemed to include options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise those options. Some leasing arrangements require variable payments that are dependent on usage, output, or may vary for other reasons, such as insurance and tax payments. The variable lease payments are not presented as part of the initial ROU asset or lease liability. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material restrictive covenants.

 

At adoption of ASC 842, the Company recognized right of use assets and liabilities for operating leases of $102,878 related to its office space lease, which has a monthly payment of $4,134 and expires in March 2021. As part of the Infusionz Acquisition, the Company assumed the business’ operating lease for warehouse space. The Company recognized preliminary estimates of the right of use assets and liabilities related of this operating lease of $23,315. The lease has a monthly payment of $4,000 through August 31, 2019. The Infusionz business also has two rental agreements with total payments of $3,800 per month with month to month terms. In April 2018, Pura Vida Vitamins LLC entered into a month to month rental agreement for office space for $1,000 per month.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company entered into a real estate lease for office and warehouse space in Colorado. The lease has monthly payments ranging from approximately $19,500 to $23,700 over the lease term of 54 months. The Company has an option to acquire the leased premises at the conclusion of the lease for a purchase price of $3,500,000. Under ASC 842, this lease was determined to be an operating lease, and a right of use asset and lease liability of $928,372 was recognized at commencement of the lease. The Company did not consider the purchase option to be reasonably certain of exercise in its analysis of the lease. The Company paid a security deposit of $58,749 at commencement, along with first and last month’s rent, for a total of $102,000. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company was notified by its landlord to vacate the premises and lost the use of the asset. The landlord subleased the property and agreed to accept one year of payments as final settlement of the lease. The Company recognized a loss on settlement of $172,740 related to this lease.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company agreed to settle an existing lease in exchange for a note payable of $15,214, which bears interest at 10% or 22% in the event of default. As of the date of this report, the Company is in default of this note. The Company recognized a loss on settlement of $6,944 related to this agreement.

 

The following table summarizes the lease-related assets and liabilities recorded in the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2020 and 2019:

 

Lease Position  December 31, 2020   December 31, 2019

Right of use liability operating lease long term      $667,236 
Total operating lease liabilities  $242,001   $1,796,451 

 

The Company recognized operating lease cost of $72,459 and $113,807 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company utilizes the incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments unless the implicit rate is readily determinable.

NOTE 8 - CONTINGENCIES

 

Certain disputes have arisen including former affiliates of the Company. In summary: on or about September 2018, the Company acquired (the “Sale”) certain assets, promises and representations from Layer Six Media and its four individual owners, at least two of whom, Messrs. Bartholomew and Lindauer became directors and employees of the Company (collectively, for this summary, the “Sellers”). It is the Company belief that the individuals departed from their positions and efforts with the Company some time past only realizing recently the legal effect of their activities and actions including not completing obligations as Sellers and obtaining and utilizing assets of the Company in contravention of agreements, instruments and laws. The objectionable activities included an attorney that had done work for the Company, but also for the others noted. The Company is taking a series of civil legal actions and seeking non-civil assistance in relation to the authorities and this includes, among other actions either underway or to be undertaken shortly, late October, early November, a case filed by the Company against certain of the Sellers and the lawyer in Washington D.C. Superior Court, alleging, among other things, fraud, breach of contract, and conversion. Layer Six Media and certain related parties, the “Sellers” noted above, filed a Colorado, Denver District Court, legal action against the Company, early November 2019, which the Company just recently became aware of, claiming breach of contract, and other allegations, seeking monetary damages allegedly owed in relation to payments allegedly due as to the original Sale. The Company has engaged and consulted lawyers and advisors and provides this disclosure though it does not believe, in the totality of the Company growth plans, solid legal grounds it will prevail, and other aspects, that it will not experience any adverse legal effect from such litigation and litigation related events.

 

The litigation involving Layer Six Media was dismissed following the Company entering into a sales agreement with Viath LLC. See Note 3.

 

NOTE 9 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

The Company evaluates subsequent events that have occurred after the balance sheet date of December 31, 2020 and up through September 7, 2021, which is the date that these financial statements are available to be issued. There are two types of subsequent events: (i) recognized, or those that provide additional evidence with respect to conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet, including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing financial statements, and (ii) non-recognized, or those that provide evidence with respect to conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose subsequent to that date.

 

In March 2021, the Company entered into a Senior Secured convertible promissory note for an aggregate principal amount of $588,235. The note had an original issue discount of $88,235, bears interest at the greater of Prime plus 8% or 14%. The cash proceeds are to be distributed in tranches, with the first tranche of $65,000 being advanced in March 2021, with $15,000 of the amount paying legal fees related to the note payable. Each tranche has a maturity date of 9 months from the date of funding of that tranche. The principal and accrued interest are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a fixed price of $0.002. In the event of default, the conversion price will be 60% of the lowest intraday rice during the previous 21 days from conversion. If the Company issues or sells common stock or any instrument that is convertible or exercisable into common stock at a price less than the fixed conversion price, the fixed conversion price shall be reset to such lower price. The holder of these notes is not permitted to convert such notes to the extent that the holder or any of its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the Company’s common stock after such conversion.

 

The Company issued 30,000,000 shares of stock to the lender as a deferred finance cost and granted a warrant to purchase 25,000,000 shares of common stock at a fixed price of $0.006 for a period of 10 years. If the Company issues or sells common stock or any instrument that is convertible or exercisable into common stock at a price less than the fixed conversion price, the fixed conversion price shall be reset to such lower price. The lender will receive an additional 25,000,000 warrants upon fully funding the convertible note payable.

 

In April 2020, the Company’s line of credit was terminated by the lender. In February 2021, the Company’s CEO paid $25,200 to settle the current balance, including accrued interest, of $83,817 in full on behalf of the Company.

 

As of September 7, there were 571,507,751 shares of common stock outstanding.

MATURITY DATE OF SEPTEMBER 18, 2020 *THE “MATURITY DATE”

 

$125,000 SEPTEMBER 18, 2019 *THE “ISSUANCE DATE”

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Golden Developing Solutions, Inc., a Nevada Corporation (the “Company”) doing business in Denver, Colorado, hereby promises to pay to the order of JSJ Investments Inc., an accredited investor and Texas Corporation, or its assigns (the “Holder”), the principal amount of One Hundred and Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($125,000) (“Note”), on demand of the Holder at any time on or after September 18, 2020 (the “Maturity Date”), and to pay interest on the unpaid principal balance hereof at the rate of Ten Percent (10%) per annum (the “Interest Rate”) commencing on the date hereof (the “Issuance Date”).

 

1.Payments of Principal and Interest.

 

a.Pre-Payment and Payment of Principal and Interest. The Company may pay this Note in full, together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest, plus any applicable pre-payment premium set forth herein and subject to the terms of this Section 1.a, at any time on or prior to the date which occurs 180 days after the Issuance Date hereof (the “Prepayment Date”). In the event the Note is not prepaid in full on or before the Prepayment Date, it shall be deemed a “Pre-Payment Default” hereunder. Until the Ninetieth (90th) day after the Issuance Date the Company may pay the principal at a cash redemption premium of 120%, in addition to outstanding interest, without the Holder’s consent; from the 91st day to the One Hundred and Eightieth (180th) day after the Issuance Date, the Company may pay the principal at a cash redemption premium of 130%, in addition to outstanding interest, without the Holder’s consent. After the Prepayment Date up to the Maturity Date this Note shall have a cash redemption premium of 130% of the then outstanding principal amount of the Note, plus accrued interest and Default Interest, if any, which may only be paid by the Company upon Holder’s prior written consent. At any time on or after the Maturity Date, the Company may repay the then outstanding principal plus accrued interest and Default Interest (defined below), if any, to the Holder.

 

b.Demand of Repayment. The principal and interest balance of this Note shall be paid to the Holder hereof on demand by the Holder at any time on or after the Maturity Date. The Default Amount (defined herein), if applicable, shall be paid to Holder hereof on demand by the Holder at any time such Default Amount becomes due and payable to Holder. The Holder may, by written notice to the Company at least five (5) days before the Maturity Date (as may have been previously extended), extend the Maturity Date to up to one (1) year following the date of the original Maturity Date hereunder.

 

c.Interest. This Note shall bear interest (“Interest”) at the rate of Ten Percent (10%) per annum from the Issuance Date until the same is paid, or otherwise converted in accordance with Section 2 below, in full and the Holder, at the Holder’s sole discretion, may include any accrued but unpaid Interest in the Conversion Amount. Interest shall commence accruing on the Issuance Date, shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed and shall accrue daily and, after the Maturity Date, compound quarterly. Upon an Event of Default, as defined in Section 10 below, the Interest Rate shall increase to Eighteen Percent (18%) per annum for so long as the Event of Default is continuing (“Default Interest”).

 

 

 1 

 

 

d.General Payment Provisions. This Note shall be paid in lawful money of the United States of America by check or wire transfer to such account as the Holder may from time to time designate by written notice to the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Note. Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Note is due on any day which is not a Business Day (as defined below), the same shall instead be due on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day and, in the case of any interest payment date which is not the date on which this Note is paid in full, the extension of the due date thereof shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining the amount of interest due on such date. For purposes of this Note, “Business Day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which commercial banks in the State of Texas are authorized or required by law or executive order to remain closed.

 

2.Conversion of Note. At any time after the Pre-payment Date, the Conversion Amount (see Paragraph 2(a)(i)) of this Note shall be convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) according to the terms and conditions set forth in this Paragraph 2.

 

a.Certain Defined Terms. For purposes of this Note, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

 

i.Conversion Amount” means the sum of (a) the principal amount of this Note to be converted with respect to which this determination is being made, (b) Interest; and (c) Default Interest, if any, if so included at the Holder’s sole discretion.

 

ii.Conversion Price” means a 35% discount to the average of the three (3) lowest trading prices during the previous twenty (20) trading days to the date of a Conversion Notice (subject to equitable adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends or rights offerings by the Company relating to the Company’s securities or the securities of any subsidiary of the Company, combinations, recapitalization, reclassifications, extraordinary distributions and similar events).

 

iii.Person” means an individual, a limited liability company, a partnership, a joint venture, a corporation, a trust, an unincorporated organization and a government or any department or agency thereof.

 

iv.Shares” means the Shares of the Common Stock of the Company into which any balance on this Note may be converted upon submission of a “Conversion Notice” to the Company substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1.

 

b.Holder’s Conversion Rights. At any time after the Pre-payment Date, the Holder shall be entitled to convert all of the outstanding and unpaid principal and accrued interest of this Note into fully paid and non- assessable shares of Common Stock in accordance with the stated Conversion Price. The Holder shall not be entitled to convert on a Conversion Date that amount of the Note in connection with that number of shares of Common Stock which would be in excess of the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Note with respect to which the determination of this provision is being made on a Conversion Date, which would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company on such Conversion Date. For the purposes of the provision to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulation 13d-3 thereunder. Subject to the foregoing, the Holder shall not be limited to aggregate conversions of 4.99% (“Conversion Limitation 1”). The Holder shall have the authority to determine whether the restriction contained in this Section 2(b) will limit any conversion hereunder, and accordingly, the Holder may waive the conversion limitation described in this Section 2(b), in whole or in part, upon and effective after 61 days prior written notice to the Company to increase or decrease such percentage to any other amount as determined by Holder in its sole discretion (“Conversion Limitation 2”). If in the case that the Company’s Common Stock is “chilled” for deposit into the DTC system and only eligible for clearing deposit, then an additional 15% discount to the Conversion Price shall apply for all future conversions under the Note while the “chill” is in effect. For the avoidance of doubt, with reference to section 2(a)ii of this note, when the “chill” is in effect the conversion price will increase from a 35% discount to a 50% discount to the lowest trading price during the previous (20) days to the date of a Conversion Notice. To the extent the Conversion Price of the Company’s Common Stock closes below the par value per share, the Company will take all steps necessary to solicit the consent of the stockholders to reduce the par value to the lowest value possible under law. The Company agrees to honor all conversions submitted pending this adjustment unless the Holder, in its sole and absolute discretion elects instead to set the Conversion Price to par value for such conversion(s) and the conversion amount for such conversion(s) shall be increased to include Additional Principal, where “Additional Principal” means such additional amount to be added to the conversion amount to the extent necessary to cause the number of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion(s) to equal the same number of Common Stock as would have been issued had the Conversion Price not been set to par value in the Holder’s sole and absolute discretion.

 

 

 2 

 

 

c.Fractional Shares. The Company shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any conversion; if such issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Company shall round such fraction of a share of Common Stock up to the nearest whole share except in the event that rounding up would violate the conversion limitation set forth in section 2(b) above.

 

d.Conversion Amount. The Conversion Amount shall be converted pursuant to Rule 144(b)(1)(ii) and Rule 144(d)(1)(ii) as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, into unrestricted shares at the Conversion Price.

 

e.Mechanics of Conversion. The conversion of this Note shall be conducted in the following manner:

 

i.Holder’s Conversion Requirements. To convert this Note into shares of Common Stock on any date set forth in the Conversion Notice by the Holder (the “Conversion Date”), the Holder shall transmit by email, facsimile or otherwise deliver, for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on such date or on the next business day, a copy of a fully executed notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1 to the Company.

 

ii.Company’s Response. Upon receipt by the Company of a copy of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall as soon as practicable, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day after receipt of such Conversion Notice, send, via email, facsimile or overnight courier, a confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice to such Holder indicating that the Company will process such Conversion Notice in accordance with the terms herein. Within two (2) Business Days after the date the Conversion Notice is delivered, the Company shall have issued and electronically transferred the shares to the Broker indicated in the Conversion Notice; should the Company be unable to transfer the shares electronically, it shall, within two (2) Business Days after the date the Conversion Notice was delivered, have surrendered to an overnight courier for delivery the next day to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled.

 

iii.Record Holder. The person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of this Note shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on the Conversion Date.

 

iv.Timely Response by Company. Upon receipt by Company of a Conversion Notice, Company shall respond within one business day to Holder confirming the details of the Conversion, and provide within two business days the Shares requested in the Conversion Notice.

 

v.Liquidated Damages for Delinquent Response. If the Company fails to deliver for whatever reason (including any neglect or failure by, e.g., the Company, its counsel or the transfer agent) to Holder the Shares as requested in a Conversion Notice within three (3) business days of the Conversion Date, the Company shall be deemed in “Default of Conversion.” Beginning on the fourth (4th) business day after the date of the Conversion Notice, after the Company is deemed in Default of Conversion, there shall accrue liquidated damages (the “Conversion Damages”) of $2,000 per day for each day after the third business day until delivery of the Shares is made, and such penalty will be added to the Note being converted (under the Company’s and Holder’s expectation and understanding that any penalty amounts will tack back to the Issuance Date of the Note). The Parties agree that, at the time of drafting of this Note, the Holder’s damages as to the delinquent response are incapable or difficult to estimate and that the liquidated damages called for is a reasonable forecast of just compensation.

 

vi.Liquidated Damages for Inability to Issue Shares. If the Company fails to deliver Shares requested by a Conversion Notice due to an exhaustion of authorized and issuable common stock such that the Company must increase the number of shares of authorized Common Stock before the Shares requested may be issued to the Holder, the discount set forth in the Conversion Price will be increased by 5 percentage points (i.e. from 35% to 40%) for the Conversion Notice in question and all future Conversion Notices until the outstanding principal and interest of the Note is converted or paid in full. These liquidated damages shall not render the penalties prescribed by Paragraph 2(e)(v) void, and shall be applied in conjunction with Paragraph 2(e)(v) unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Holder. The Parties agree that, at the time of drafting of this Note, the Holder’s damages as to the inability to issue shares are incapable or difficult to estimate and that the liquidated damages called for is a reasonable forecast of just compensation.

viii.Transfer Agent Fees and Legal Fees. The issuance of the certificates shall be without charge or expense to the Holder. The Company shall pay any and all Transfer Agent fees, legal fees, and advisory fees required for execution of this Note and processing of any Notice of Conversion, including but not limited to the cost of obtaining a legal opinion with regard to the Conversion. The Holder will deduct $3,000 from the principal payment of the Note solely to cover the cost of obtaining any and all legal opinions required to obtain the Shares requested in any given Conversion Notice. These fees do not make provision for or suffice to defray any legal fees incurred in collection or enforcement of the Note as described in Paragraph 13. The Holder will deduct 3rd party due diligence fees due Venture Group Capital LLC in the amount of $12,500 from the principal payment of the Note. All expenses incurred by Holder, for the issuance and clearing of the Common Stock into which this Note is convertible into, shall immediately and automatically be added to the balance of the Note at such time as the expenses are incurred by Holder.

 

ix.Conversion Right Unconditional. If the Holder shall provide a Notice of Conversion as provided herein, the Company’s obligations to deliver Common Stock shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any claim of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, or alleged breach by the Holder of any obligation to the Company.

 

3.Other Rights of Holder: Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale. Any recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to another Person or other transaction which is effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities, cash or other assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock is referred to herein as “Organic Change.” Prior to the consummation of any (i) Organic Change or (ii) other Organic Change following which the Company is not a surviving entity, the Company will secure from the Person purchasing such assets or the successor resulting from such Organic Change (in each case, the “Acquiring Entity”) a written agreement (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder) to deliver to Holder in exchange for this Note, a security of the Acquiring Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Note, and reasonably satisfactory to the Holder. Prior to the consummation of any other Organic Change, the Company shall make appropriate provision (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder) to ensure that the Holder will thereafter have the right to acquire and receive in lieu of or in addition to (as the case may be) the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon the conversion of the Note, such shares of stock, securities, cash or other assets that would have been issued or payable in such Organic Change with respect to or in exchange for the number of shares of Common Stock which would have been acquirable and receivable upon the conversion of the Note as of the date of such Organic Change (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of the Note set forth in Section 2(b) or otherwise). All provisions of this Note must be included to the satisfaction of Holder in any new Note created pursuant to this section.

 

a.Adjustment Due to Distribution. If the Company shall declare or make any distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Common Stock as a dividend, stock repurchase, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including any dividend or distribution to the Company’s shareholders in cash or shares (or rights to acquire shares) of capital stock of a subsidiary (i.e., a spin-off)) (a “Distribution”), then the Holder of this Note shall be entitled, upon any conversion of this Note after the date of record for determining shareholders entitled to such Distribution, to receive the amount of such assets which would have been payable to the Holder with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion had such Holder been the holder of such shares of Common Stock on the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to such Distribution.

CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, GOLDEN DEVELOPING SOLUTIONS, INC., a Nevada corporation (hereinafter called the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of GENEVA ROTH REMARK HOLDINGS, INC., a New York corporation, or registered assigns (the “Holder”) the sum of $40,000.00 together with any interest as set forth herein, on January 14, 2021 (the “Maturity Date”), and to pay interest on the unpaid principal balance hereof at the rate of ten percent (10%)(the “Interest Rate”) per annum from the date hereof (the “Issue Date”) until the same becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or upon acceleration or by prepayment or otherwise. This Note may not be prepaid in whole or in part except as otherwise explicitly set forth herein. Any amount of principal or interest on this Note which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of twenty two percent (22%) per annum from the due date thereof until the same is paid (“Default Interest”). Interest shall commence accruing on the date that the Note is fully paid and shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed. All payments due hereunder (to the extent not converted into common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) in accordance with the terms hereof) shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America. All payments shall be made at such address as the Holder shall hereafter give to the Borrower by written notice made in accordance with the provisions of this Note. Each capitalized term used herein, and not otherwise defined, shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated the date hereof, pursuant to which this Note was originally issued (the “Purchase Agreement”).

 

This Note is free from all taxes, liens, claims and encumbrances with respect to the issue thereof and shall not be subject to preemptive rights or other similar rights of shareholders of the Borrower and will not impose personal liability upon the holder thereof.

 

The following terms shall apply to this Note:

 

ARTICLE I. CONVERSION RIGHTS

 

1.1               Conversion Right. The Holder shall have the right from time to time, and at any time during the period beginning on the date which is one hundred eighty (180) days following the date of this Note and ending on the later of: (i) the Maturity Date and (ii) the date of payment of the Default Amount (as defined in Article III), each in respect of the remaining outstanding amount of this Note to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid amount of this Note into fully paid and non- assessable shares of Common Stock, as such Common Stock exists on the Issue Date, or any shares of capital stock or other securities of the Borrower into which such Common Stock shall hereafter be changed or reclassified at the conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) determined as provided herein (a “Conversion”); provided, however, that in no event shall the Holder be entitled to convert any portion of this Note in excess of that portion of this Note upon conversion of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of the Notes or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Borrower subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the portion of this Note with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such proviso. The beneficial ownership limitations on conversion as set forth in the section may NOT be waived by the Holder. The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing the Conversion Amount (as defined below) by the applicable Conversion Price then in effect on the date specified in the notice of conversion, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Notice of Conversion”), delivered to the Borrower by the Holder in accordance with Section 1.4 below; provided that the Notice of Conversion is submitted by facsimile or e-mail (or by other means resulting in, or reasonably expected to result in, notice) to the Borrower before 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time on such conversion date (the “Conversion Date”); however, if the Notice of Conversion is sent after 6:00pm, New York, New York time the Conversion Date shall be the next business day. The term “Conversion Amount” means, with respect to any conversion of this Note, the sum of (1) the principal amount of this Note to be converted in such conversion plus (2) at the Holder’s option, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such principal amount at the interest rates provided in this Note to the Conversion Date, plus (3) at the Holder’s option, Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (1) and/or (2) plus (4) at the Holder’s option, any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Sections 1.4 hereof.

1.2               Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be equal to the Variable Conversion Price (as defined herein)(subject to equitable adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends or rights offerings by the Borrower relating to the Borrower’s securities or the securities of any subsidiary of the Borrower, combinations, recapitalization, reclassifications, extraordinary distributions and similar events). The "Variable Conversion Price" shall mean 61% multiplied by the Market Price (as defined herein) (representing a discount rate of 39%). “Market Price” means the lowest Trading Price (as defined below) for the Common Stock during the twenty (20) Trading Day period ending on the latest complete Trading Day prior to the Conversion Date. “Trading Price” means, for any security as of any date, the closing bid price on the OTCQB, OTCQX, Pink Sheets electronic quotation system or applicable trading market (the “OTC”) as reported by a reliable reporting service (“Reporting Service”) designated by the Holder (i.e. Bloomberg) or, if the OTC is not the principal trading market for such security, the closing bid price of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded or, if no closing bid price of such security is available in any of the foregoing manners, the average of the closing bid prices of any market makers for such security that are listed in the “pink sheets”. If the Trading Price cannot be calculated for such security on such date in the manner provided above, the Trading Price shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Borrower and the holders of a majority in interest of the Notes being converted for which the calculation of the Trading Price is required in order to determine the Conversion Price of such Notes. “Trading Day” shall mean any day on which the Common Stock is tradable for any period on the OTC, or on the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then being traded.

 

1.3               Authorized Shares. The Borrower covenants that during the period the conversion right exists, the Borrower will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares, free from preemptive rights, to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the full conversion of this Note issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The Borrower is required at all times to have authorized and reserved six times the number of shares that would be issuable upon full conversion of the Note (assuming that the 4.99% limitation set forth in Section 1.1 is not in effect)(based on the respective Conversion Price of the Note (as defined in Section 1.2) in effect from time to time, initially 262,295,081 shares)(the “Reserved Amount”). The Reserved Amount shall be increased (or decreased with the written consent of the Holder) from time to time in accordance with the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. The Borrower represents that upon issuance, such shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. In addition, if the Borrower shall issue any securities or make any change to its capital structure which would change the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Notes shall be convertible at the then current Conversion Price, the Borrower shall at the same time make proper provision so that thereafter there shall be a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, for conversion of the outstanding Note. The Borrower (i) acknowledges that it has irrevocably instructed its transfer agent to issue certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, and (ii) agrees that its issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its officers and agents who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Note.

 

If, at any time the Borrower does not maintain the Reserved Amount it will be considered an Event of Default under Section 3.2 of the Note.

 

1.4               Method of Conversion.

 

(a)                Mechanics of Conversion. As set forth in Section 1.1 hereof, from time to time, and at any time during the period beginning on the date which is one hundred eighty (180) days following the date of this Note and ending on the later of: (i) the Maturity Date and (ii) the date of payment of the Default Amount, this Note may be converted by the Holder in whole or in part at any time from time to time after the Issue Date, by (A) submitting to the Borrower a Notice of Conversion (by facsimile, e-mail or other reasonable means of communication dispatched on the Conversion Date prior to 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time) and (B) subject to Section 1.4(b), surrendering this Note at the principal office of the Borrower (upon payment in full of any amounts owed hereunder).

 

(b)                Surrender of Note Upon Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Borrower unless the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note is so converted. The Holder and the Borrower shall maintain records showing the principal amount so converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Borrower, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon each such conversion.

 

 

 2 

 

 

(c)                 Delivery of Common Stock Upon Conversion. Upon receipt by the Borrower from the Holder of a facsimile transmission or e-mail (or other reasonable means of communication) of a Notice of Conversion meeting the requirements for conversion as provided in this Section 1.4, the Borrower shall issue and deliver or cause to be issued and delivered to or upon the order of the Holder certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion within three (3) business days after such receipt (the “Deadline”) (and, solely in the case of conversion of the entire unpaid principal amount hereof, surrender of this Note) in accordance with the terms hereof and the Purchase Agreement. Upon receipt by the Borrower of a Notice of Conversion, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the outstanding principal amount and the amount of accrued and unpaid interest on this Note shall be reduced to reflect such conversion, and, unless the Borrower defaults on its obligations hereunder, all rights with respect to the portion of this Note being so converted shall forthwith terminate except the right to receive the Common Stock or other securities, cash or other assets, as herein provided, on such conversion. If the Holder shall have given a Notice of Conversion as provided herein, the Borrower’s obligation to issue and deliver the certificates for Common Stock shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the absence of any action by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision thereof, the recovery of any judgment against any person or any action to enforce the same, any failure or delay in the enforcement of any other obligation of the Borrower to the holder of record, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder of any obligation to the Borrower, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Borrower to the Holder in connection with such conversion.

 

(d)                Delivery of Common Stock by Electronic Transfer. In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Common Stock issuable upon conversion, provided the Borrower is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) program, upon request of the Holder and its compliance with the provisions set forth herein, the Borrower shall use its best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Common Stock issuable upon conversion to the Holder by crediting the account of Holder’s Prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system.

 

(e)                Failure to Deliver Common Stock Prior to Deadline. Without in any way limiting the Holder’s right to pursue other remedies, including actual damages and/or equitable relief, the parties agree that if delivery of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note is not delivered by the Deadline due to action and/or inaction of the Borrower, the Borrower shall pay to the Holder $2,000 per day in cash, for each day beyond the Deadline that the Borrower fails to deliver such Common Stock (the “Fail to Deliver Fee”); provided; however that the Fail to Deliver Fee shall not be due if the failure is a result of a third party (i.e., transfer agent; and not the result of any failure to pay such transfer agent) despite the best efforts of the Borrower to effect delivery of such Common Stock. Such cash amount shall be paid to Holder by the fifth day of the month following the month in which it has accrued or, at the option of the Holder (by written notice to the Borrower by the first day of the month following the month in which it has accrued), shall be added to the principal amount of this Note, in which event interest shall accrue thereon in accordance with the terms of this Note and such additional principal amount shall be convertible into Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Note. The Borrower agrees that the right to convert is a valuable right to the Holder. The damages resulting from a failure, attempt to frustrate, interference with such conversion right are difficult if not impossible to qualify. Accordingly, the parties acknowledge that the liquidated damages provision contained in this Section 1.4(e) are justified.

 

1.5               Concerning the Shares. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note may not be sold or transferred unless: (i) such shares are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act or (ii) the Borrower or its transfer agent shall have been furnished with an opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that the shares to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration (such as Rule 144 or a successor rule) (“Rule 144”); or (iii) such shares are transferred to an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144) of the Borrower who agrees to sell or otherwise transfer the shares only in accordance with this Section 1.5 and who is an Accredited Investor (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).

 

Any restrictive legend on certificates representing shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note shall be removed and the Borrower shall issue to the Holder a new certificate therefore free of any transfer legend if the Borrower or its transfer agent shall have received an opinion of counsel from Holder’s counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that (i) a public sale or transfer of such Common Stock may be made without registration under the Act, which opinion shall be accepted by the Company so that the sale or transfer is effected; or (ii) in the case of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, such security is registered for sale by the Holder under an effective registration statement filed under the Act; or otherwise may be sold pursuant to an exemption from registration. In the event that the Company does not reasonably accept the opinion of counsel provided by the Holder with respect to the transfer of Securities pursuant to an exemption from registration (such as Rule 144), at the Deadline, it will be considered an Event of Default pursuant to Section 3.2 of the Note.

1.6               Effect of Certain Events.

 

(a)                Effect of Merger, Consolidation, Etc. At the option of the Holder, the sale, conveyance or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower, the effectuation by the Borrower of a transaction or series of related transactions in which more than 50% of the voting power of the Borrower is disposed of, or the consolidation, merger or other business combination of the Borrower with or into any other Person (as defined below) or Persons when the Borrower is not the survivor shall be deemed to be an Event of Default (as defined in Article III) pursuant to which the Borrower shall be required to pay to the Holder upon the consummation of and as a condition to such transaction an amount equal to the Default Amount (as defined in Article III). “Person” shall mean any individual, corporation, limited liability company, partnership, association, trust or other entity or organization.

 

(b)                Adjustment Due to Merger, Consolidation, Etc. If, at any time when this Note is issued and outstanding and prior to conversion of all of the Note, there shall be any merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, or other similar event, as a result of which shares of Common Stock of the Borrower shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of another class or classes of stock or securities of the Borrower or another entity, or in case of any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower other than in connection with a plan of complete liquidation of the Borrower, then the Holder of this Note shall thereafter have the right to receive upon conversion of this Note, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified herein and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore issuable upon conversion, such stock, securities or assets which the Holder would have been entitled to receive in such transaction had this Note been converted in full immediately prior to such transaction (without regard to any limitations on conversion set forth herein), and in any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder of this Note to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustment of the Conversion Price and of the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Note) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be practicable in relation to any securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the conversion hereof. The Borrower shall not affect any transaction described in this Section 1.6(b) unless (a) it first gives, to the extent practicable, ten (10) days prior written notice (but in any event at least five (5) days prior written notice) of the record date of the special meeting of shareholders to approve, or if there is no such record date, the consummation of, such merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar event or sale of assets (during which time the Holder shall be entitled to convert this Note) and (b) the resulting successor or acquiring entity (if not the Borrower) assumes by written instrument the obligations of this Note. The above provisions shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or share exchanges.

 

(c)                 Adjustment Due to Distribution. If the Borrower shall declare or make any distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Common Stock as a dividend, stock repurchase, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including any dividend or distribution to the Borrower’s shareholders in cash or shares (or rights to acquire shares) of capital stock of a subsidiary (i.e., a spin-off)) (a “Distribution”), then the Holder of this Note shall be entitled, upon any conversion of this Note after the date of record for determining shareholders entitled to such Distribution, to receive the amount of such assets which would have been payable to the Holder with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion had such Holder been the holder of such shares of Common Stock on the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to such Distribution.

 

1.7               Prepayment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, at any time during the periods set forth on the table immediately following this paragraph (the “Prepayment Periods”), the Borrower shall have the right, exercisable on not more than three (3) Trading Days prior written notice to the Holder of the Note to prepay the outstanding Note (principal and accrued interest), in full, in accordance with this Section 1.7. Any notice of prepayment hereunder (an “Optional Prepayment Notice”) shall be delivered to the Holder of the Note at its registered addresses and shall state: (1) that the Borrower is exercising its right to prepay the Note, and (2) the date of prepayment which shall be not more than three (3) Trading Days from the date of the Optional Prepayment Notice. On the date fixed for prepayment (the “Optional Prepayment Date”), the Borrower shall make payment of the Optional Prepayment Amount (as defined below) to Holder, or upon the direction of the Holder as specified by the Holder in a writing to the Borrower (which shall direction to be sent to Borrower by the Holder at least one (1) business day prior to the Optional Prepayment Date). If the Borrower exercises its right to prepay the Note, the Borrower shall make payment to the Holder of an amount in cash equal to the percentage (“Prepayment Percentage”) as set forth in the table immediately following this paragraph opposite the applicable Prepayment Period, multiplied by the sum of: (w) the then outstanding principal amount of this Note plus (x) accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note to the Optional Prepayment Date plus (y) Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in clauses (w) and (x) plus (z) any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Section 1.4 hereof (the “Optional Prepayment Amount”). If the Borrower delivers an Optional Prepayment Notice and fails to pay the Optional Prepayment Amount due to the Holder of the Note within two (2) business days following the Optional Prepayment Date, the Borrower shall forever forfeit its right to prepay the Note pursuant to this Section 1.7.

It is an obligation of the Borrower to remain current in its obligations to its transfer agent. It shall be an event of default of this Note, if a conversion of this Note is delayed, hindered or frustrated due to a balance owed by the Borrower to its transfer agent. If at the option of the Holder, the Holder advances any funds to the Borrower’s transfer agent in order to process a conversion, such advanced funds shall be paid by the Borrower to the Holder within forty-eight (48) hours of a demand from the Holder.

 

3.3               Breach of Covenants.

3.13            Cross-Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note or the other related or companion documents, a breach or default by the Borrower of any covenant or other term or condition contained in any of the Other Agreements, after the passage of all applicable notice and cure or grace periods, shall, at the option of the Holder, be considered a default under this Note and the Other Agreements, in which event the Holder shall be entitled (but in no event required) to apply all rights and remedies of the Holder under the terms of this Note and the Other Agreements by reason of a default under said Other Agreement or hereunder. “Other Agreements” means, collectively, all agreements and instruments between, among or by: (1) the Borrower, and, or for the benefit of, (2) the Holder and any affiliate of the Holder, including, without limitation, promissory notes; provided, however, the term “Other Agreements” shall not include the related or companion documents to this Note.

If the Borrower fails to pay the Default Amount within five (5) business days of written notice that such amount is due and payable, then the Holder shall have the right at any time, so long as the Borrower remains in default (and so long and to the extent that there are sufficient authorized shares), to require the Borrower, upon written notice, to immediately issue, in lieu of the Default Amount, the number of shares of Common Stock of the Borrower equal to the Default Amount divided by the Conversion Price then in effect.

 

ARTICLE IV. MISCELLANEOUS

 

4.1               Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver.

SENIOR SECURED CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

 

For value received, GOLDEN DEVELOPING SOLUTIONS, INC., a Nevada corporation, and RENAISSANCE HEALTH PUBLISHING, LLC, a Florida corporation (referred to hereinafter collectively as “FDBH” or the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of LEONITE CAPITAL, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, or registered assigns (the “Holder”) the principal sum of up to five hundred eighty eight thousand two hundred thirty five and 29/100 Dollars ($588,235.29) or so much as has been advanced in one or more tranches (the “Principal Amount”), together with interest on the Principal Amount, on the dates set forth below or upon acceleration or otherwise, as set forth herein (or as may be amended, extended, renewed and refinanced, collectively, this “Note”). The “Interest Rate” shall reset daily and accrue at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the Prime Rate plus eight percent (8%) per annum, or (ii) fourteen percent (14%) per annum. The “Prime Rate” shall mean that variable rate of interest published from time to time by the Wall Street Journal as the prime rate of interest. In no event shall the Interest Rate exceed the maximum rate allowed by law; any interest payment which would for any reason be unlawful under applicable law shall be applied to principal.

 

The consideration to the Borrower for this Note is five hundred thousand Dollars ($500,000) (the “Consideration”) to be paid in one or more tranches (each, a “Tranche”). The first Tranche shall consist of a payment by Holder to Borrower on the Issue Date of no less than sixty five thousand Dollars ($65,000). The remainder of the Tranches shall be distributed at Holder’s sole discretion. Holder shall retain fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000) from the first Tranche advanced to the Borrower to cover legal fees.

 

The maturity date (“Maturity Date”) for each Tranche shall be at the end of the period that begins from the date each Tranche is advanced and ends nine (9) months thereafter (such periods each referred to herein as a “Tranche Term”). The principal sum, as well as interest and other fees shall be due and payable in accordance with the payment terms set forth in Article I herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Maturity Date for this Note and all Tranches advanced hereunder, shall be no later than the date upon which the Borrower competes a Registered Public Offering of shares of the Company. Subject to Section 5.9 below, this Note may not be prepaid in whole or in part except as otherwise explicitly set forth herein.

 

Any amount of principal, interest, other amounts due hereunder or penalties on this Note, which is not paid by the due date as specified herein, shall bear interest at the lesser of the rate of twenty four percent (24%) per annum or the maximum legal amount permitted by law, from the due date thereof until the same is paid (“Default Interest”).

 

 

 1 

 

 

If any payment (other than a payment due at maturity or upon default) is not made on or before its due date, the Holder may at its discretion collect a delinquency charge equal to the greater of one hundred Dollars ($100.00) or five (5%) percent of the unpaid amount. The unpaid balances on all obligations payable by Borrower and due to Holder pursuant to the terms of this Note, shall in addition to other remedies contained herein, bear interest after default or maturity at an annual rate equal to the Default Interest rate.

 

Except as provided for in Section 1.2.1 below, all payments of principal and interest due hereunder (to the extent not converted into Borrower’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) shall be paid by automatic debit, wire transfer, check or in coin or currency which, at the time or times of payment, is the legal tender for public and private debts in the United States of America and shall be made at such place as Holder or the legal holder or holders of the Note may from time to time appoint in a payment invoice or otherwise in writing, and in the absence of such appointment, then at the offices of Holder at such address as the Holder shall hereafter give to the Borrower by written notice made in accordance with the provisions of this Note. Unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law, payments will be applied first to any accrued unpaid interest, then to any late charges, and then to principal. Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Note is due on any day which is not a business day, the same shall instead be due on the next succeeding day which is a business day and, in the case of any interest payment date which is not the date on which this Note is paid in full, interest shall continue to accrue during such extension. As used in this Note, the term “business day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which commercial banks in the city of New York, New York are authorized or required by law or executive order to remain closed.

 

This Note carries an original issue discount of eighty eight thousand two hundred thirty five and 29/100 Dollars ($88,235.29) (the “OID”), to cover the Holder’s accounting fees, due diligence fees, monitoring, and/or other transactional costs incurred in connection with the purchase and sale of the Note, which is included in the principal balance of this Note. Thus, the purchase price of this Note shall be five hundred thousand Dollars ($500,000), computed as follows: the Principal Amount minus the OID. The OID shall be earned upon each Tranche on a pro rata basis of their proportion of the total Consideration. (For example: upon the advance of the first Tranche, eleven thousand four hundred seventy and 59/100 Dollars ($11,470.59) shall be added to the principal amount of the outstanding Note in addition to the amount advanced, and the total amount owed, or the total principal amount, shall be seventy six thousand four hundred seventy and 59/100 Dollars ($76,470.59).

 

It is further acknowledged and agreed that the Principal Amount owed by Borrower under this Note shall be increased by the amount of all reasonable expenses incurred by the Holder in connection with the collection of amounts due, or enforcement of any terms pursuant to, this Note. All such expenses shall be deemed added to the Principal Amount hereunder to the extent such expenses are paid or incurred by the Holder.

 

This Note shall be a senior secured obligation of the Borrower, with first priority over all current and future Indebtedness (as defined below) of the Borrower and any subsidiaries, whether such subsidiaries exist on the Issue Date or are created or acquired thereafter (each a “Subsidiary” and collectively, the “Subsidiaries”). The obligations of the Borrower under this Note are secured pursuant to the terms of the security and pledge agreement (the “Security and Pledge Agreement”) of even date herewith by and between the Borrower and the Holder, terms of which are incorporated by reference and made part of this Note. With respect to any Subsidiary created or acquired subsequent to the Issue Date, Borrower agrees to cause such Subsidiary to execute any documents or agreements that would bind the Subsidiary to the terms herein and in the Related Documents (defined below).

 

This Note is issued by the Borrower to the Holder pursuant to the terms of that certain Securities Purchase Agreement even date herewith (the “Purchase Agreement” and collectively with the Security and Pledge Agreement, the “Related Documents”), terms of which are incorporated by reference and made part of this Note. Each capitalized term used herein, and not otherwise defined, shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Purchase Agreement. As used herein, the term “Trading Day” means any day that the Common Shares are listed for trading or quotation on the OTC, or any other exchanges or electronic quotation systems on which the Common Shares are then traded (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).

 

This Note is free from all taxes, liens, claims and encumbrances with respect to the issue thereof and shall not be subject to preemptive rights or other similar rights of shareholders or members, as applicable, of Borrower and will not impose personal liability upon the holder thereof.

 

The following additional terms shall also apply to this Note:

 

 2 

 

 

 

ARTICLE I. PAYMENTS

 

Principal Payments. The Principal Amount of each Tranche shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date of such Tranche.

 

Interest Payments. Interest on this Note (i) is computed separately for each Tranche; (ii) is compounded monthly (that is, for each month during each Tranche Term, the amount of accrued interest is determined by multiplying one twelfth (1/12th) of the Interest Rate by the sum of the principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest of such Tranche); (iii) is payable on a monthly basis; and (iv) is guaranteed to Holder for the whole of the Tranche Term, based on the total Principal Amount of each Tranche without regard to reduction of the Principal Amount resulting from, without limitation, Principal Payments, Conversion (as defined below), or prepayment by Borrower. Beginning on the date that is one month after the Issue Date, and on the same day of each month thereafter throughout the term of this Note, Borrower shall make monthly payments of interest due under this Note to the Holder at the Interest Rate as set forth above (each, an “Interest Payment”). See Exhibit C, attached hereto, for a complete payment schedule for the first Tranche. Payment schedules for additional Tranche shall be provided upon distribution of such additional Tranches.

 

Other Payment Obligations. All payments, fees, penalties, and other charges, if any, due under this Note shall be payable pursuant to the terms contained herein, but in any case, shall be payable no later than the Maturity Date.

 

ARTICLE II. CONVERSION RIGHTS

 

Conversion Right. The Holder shall have the right at any time, at the Holder’s option to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest of this Note into fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares of Borrower or other securities into which such Common Shares shall hereafter be changed or reclassified (each, a “Conversion Share”) at the conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) determined as provided herein (a “Conversion”); provided, however, that in no event shall the Holder be entitled to convert any portion of this Note in excess of that portion of this Note upon conversion of which the sum of (1) the number of Common Shares beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates (other than Common Shares which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of the Note or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of Borrower subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein, and, if applicable, net of any shares that may be deemed to be owned by any person not affiliated with the Holder who has purchased a portion of the Note from the Holder) and (2) the number of Common Shares issuable upon the conversion of the portion of this Note with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding Common Shares. For purposes of the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such proviso, provided, further, however, that the limitations on conversion may be waived (up to a maximum of 9.99%) by the Holder upon, at the election of the Holder, not less than 61 days’ prior notice to Borrower, and the provisions of the conversion limitation shall continue to apply until such 61st day (or such later date, as determined by the Holder, as may be specified in such notice of waiver). The number of Common Shares to be issued upon each conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing the Conversion Amount (as defined below) by the applicable Conversion Price then in effect on the date specified in the notice of conversion, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Notice of Conversion”), delivered to Borrower by the Holder in accordance with Section 2.4 below; provided that the Notice of Conversion is submitted by facsimile or e-mail (or by other means resulting in, or reasonably expected to result in, notice) to Borrower before 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time on such conversion date (the “Conversion Date”). The term “Conversion Amount” means, with respect to any conversion of this Note, the sum of: (1) the principal amount of this Note to be converted in such conversion; plus (2) at the Holder’s option, accrued and unpaid interest; provided, however, that at the option of Holder, the accrued and unpaid interest can be converted prior to any other amounts under the Note, if any, on such principal amount at the interest rates provided in this Note to the Conversion Date; plus (3) at the Holder’s option, Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (1) and/or (2); plus (4) the Holder’s expenses relating to a Conversion, including but not limited to amounts paid by Holder on the Borrower’s transfer agent account; plus (5) at the Holder’s option, any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Sections 2.3 and 2.4(g) hereof.

 

 

 3 

 

 

Conversion Price.

 

Calculation of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be $0.002(the “Fixed Conversion Price”); provided that at any time after any Event of Default (as defined herein) under this Note, the Conversion Price shall immediately be equal to the lesser of (i) the Fixed Conversion Price; (ii) sixty percent (60%) of the lowest intraday price during the twenty one (21) consecutive Trading Day period immediately preceding the Trading Day that the Borrower receives a Notice of Conversion or (iii) the discount to market based on subsequent financing.

 

Fixed Conversion Price Adjustments.

 

Intentionally Omitted.

 

Common Share Distributions and Splits. If Borrower, at any time while this Note is outstanding: (i) pays a distribution on its Common Shares or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in Common Shares on its Common Shares; (ii) subdivides outstanding Common Shares into a larger (or smaller) number of shares; or (iii) issues, in the event of a reclassification of shares of Common Shares, any Common Shares of Borrower, then the Fixed Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of Common Shares (excluding any treasury shares of Borrower) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after such event.

 

Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Note is outstanding, (i) Borrower effects any merger or consolidation of Borrower with or into another person, (ii) Borrower effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one transaction or a series of related transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by Borrower or another person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Shares are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (iv) Borrower effects any reclassification of the Common Shares or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Shares are effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent conversion of this Note, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of 1 Common Share (the “Alternate Consideration”). For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Fixed Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of 1 Common Share in such Fundamental Transaction, and Borrower shall apportion the Fixed Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration.

 

Anti-dilution Adjustment. If at any time while this Note is outstanding, Borrower sells, grants, or otherwise makes a disposition of Common Shares, or sells, grants, or otherwise makes a disposition of other securities (or in the case of securities existing on the Issue Date, amends such securities) convertible into, exercisable for, or that would otherwise entitle any person or entity the right to acquire Common Shares, or announces its intention, or files any document with the SEC or other regulatory body that reflects its intention to do of any of the foregoing, at an effective price per share that is lower than the then Fixed Conversion Price (such lower price, the “Base Conversion Price” and such issuances, collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”) (it being agreed that if the holder of the Common Shares or other securities so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive Common Shares at an effective price per share that is lower than the Fixed Conversion Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Conversion Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance, and the Base Conversion Price shall then be adjusted to equal the lowest of such issuance price), then the Fixed Conversion Price shall be reduced to a price equal the Base Conversion Price as it may be adjusted as provided for above. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Shares or other securities are issued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment will be made under this Section 2.2(b)(4) in respect of an Exempt Issuance. For purposes of this Section 2.2(b)(4) an “Exempt Issuance” means an issuance of Common Shares or other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Shares (i) upon the exercise or exchange of any securities issued hereunder under the Warrants and/or other securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares issued and outstanding on the date of this Note, (ii) to employees or directors of, or consultants or advisors to, Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to a plan, agreement or arrangement approved by the Board of Directors of Borrower, (iii) to banks, equipment lessors or other financial institutions, or to real property lessors, pursuant to a debt financing, equipment leasing or real property leasing transaction approved by the Board of Directors of Borrower, (iv) to suppliers or third party service providers in connection with the provision of goods or services pursuant to transactions approved by the Board of Directors of Borrower, (v) pursuant to the acquisition of another corporation or other entity by Borrower by merger, purchase of substantially all of the assets or other reorganization or pursuant to a joint venture agreement, provided that such issuances are approved by the Board of Directors of Borrower, (vi) to third parties in connection with collaboration, technology license, development, marketing or other similar agreements or strategic partnerships approved by the Board of Directors of Borrower, or (vii) shares with respect to which the Holder waives its anti-dilution rights granted hereby; provided, however, that any such issuance described in (iii) through (vi) shall only be to a person (or to the equity holders of a person) which is, itself or through its Subsidiaries, an employee, director, consultant or advisor, in the case of (ii) above, or an operating company or an owner of an asset in a business synergistic with the business of Borrower in the case of (iii) through (vi) above and shall provide to Borrower additional benefits in addition to the investment of funds, but in none of (ii) through (vi) above shall not include a transaction in which Borrower is issuing securities primarily for the purpose of raising capital or to an entity whose primary business is investing in securities. In the event of an issuance of securities involving multiple tranches or closings, any adjustment pursuant to this Section 2.2(b)(4) shall be calculated as if all such securities were issued upon distribution of the initial tranche.

 

 

 4 

 

 

Notice to the Holder. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 2.2(b), Borrower shall within two (2) business days deliver to the Holder a notice setting forth the Fixed Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, provided that Borrower’s failure to timely provide the notice shall not affect the automatic adjustments contemplated hereby.

 

Authorized Shares. Borrower covenants that during the period the conversion right exists, Borrower will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Shares a sufficient number of shares, free from preemptive rights, to provide for the issuance of Common Shares upon the full conversion of this Note and exercise of the Warrants. Borrower is required at all times to have authorized and reserved seven (7) times the number of shares that is actually issuable upon full conversion of the Note (based on the Conversion Price of the Note in effect from time to time, which, if cannot be determined shall be estimated in good faith by Borrower) it being acknowledged and agreed by the parties that for the initial issuance of the Note, three hundred million (300,000,000) shares of Common Shares is sufficient and will be reserved (the “Reserved Amount”). The Reserved Amount shall be increased from time to time in accordance with Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Borrower represents that upon issuance, such shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. In addition, if Borrower shall issue any securities or make any change to its capital structure which would change the number of Common Shares into which the Note shall be convertible at the then current Conversion Price, Borrower shall at the same time make proper provision so that thereafter there shall be a sufficient number of Common Shares authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, for conversion of the outstanding Note, including but not limited to authorizing additional shares or effectuating a reverse split. Borrower (i) acknowledges that it has irrevocably instructed its transfer agent by letter, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B to issue certificates for the Common Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note and exercise of the Warrants, and (ii) agrees that its issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its officers and agents who are charged with the duty of executing Common Share certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for Common Shares in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Note. If, at any time Borrower does not maintain the Reserved Amount it will be considered an Event of Default under Section 3.2 of the Note.

 

Method of Conversion.

 

Mechanics of Conversion. Subject to Section 2.1, this Note may be converted by the Holder in whole or in part, at any time from the date hereof, by (A) submitting to Borrower a Notice of Conversion (by facsimile, e-mail or other reasonable means of communication dispatched on the Conversion Date prior to 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time) and (B) subject to Section 2.4(b), surrendering this Note at the principal office of Borrower.

 

Surrender of Note Upon Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to Borrower unless the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note is so converted. The Holder and Borrower shall maintain records showing the principal amount so converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and Borrower, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon each such conversion. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of Borrower shall, prima facie, be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion of this Note, the unpaid and unconverted principal amount of this Note represented by this Note may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

 

Payment of Taxes. Borrower shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of Common Shares or other securities or property on conversion of this Note in a name other than that of the Holder (or in street name), and Borrower shall not be required to issue or deliver any such shares or other securities or property unless and until the person or persons (other than the Holder or the custodian in whose street name such shares are to be held for the Holder’s account) requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to Borrower the amount of any such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of Borrower that such tax has been paid.

 

Delivery of Common Shares Upon Conversion. Upon receipt by Borrower from the Holder of a facsimile transmission or e-mail (or other reasonable means of communication) of a Notice of Conversion meeting the requirements for conversion as provided in this Section 2.4, Borrower shall issue and deliver to or cause to be issued and delivered to or upon the order of the Holder certificates for Common Shares issuable upon such conversion by the end of the next business day after such receipt (the “Deadline”) (and, solely in the case of conversion of the entire unpaid principal amount hereof, surrender of this Note) in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

 

 5 

 

 

Obligation of Borrower to Deliver Common Shares. Upon receipt by Borrower of a Notice of Conversion, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Common Shares issuable upon such conversion, the outstanding principal amount and the amount of accrued and unpaid interest on this Note shall be reduced to reflect such conversion, and, unless Borrower defaults on its obligations under this Article II, all rights with respect to the portion of this Note being so converted shall forthwith terminate except the right to receive the Common Shares or other securities, cash or other assets, as herein provided, on such conversion. If the Holder shall have given a Notice of Conversion as provided herein, Borrower’s obligation to issue and deliver the certificates for Common Shares shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the absence of any action by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision thereof, the recovery of any judgment against any person or any action to enforce the same, any failure or delay in the enforcement of any other obligation of Borrower to the holder of record, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder of any obligation to Borrower, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of Borrower to the Holder in connection with such conversion. The Conversion Date specified in the Notice of Conversion shall be the Conversion Date so long as the Notice of Conversion is received by Borrower before 9:00 p.m., New York, New York time, on such date.

 

Delivery of Common Shares by Electronic Transfer. In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Common Shares issuable upon conversion, provided Borrower is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) program, upon request of the Holder and its compliance with the provisions contained in Section 2.1 and in this Section 2.4, Borrower shall use its best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Common Shares issuable upon conversion to the Holder by crediting the account of Holder’s Prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system.

 

Failure to Deliver Common Shares Prior to Deadline. Without in any way limiting the Holder’s right to pursue other remedies, including actual damages and/or equitable relief, the parties agree that if Borrower causes the Common Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note to not be delivered by the second (2nd) Trading Day following the Deadline (other than a failure due to the circumstances described in Section 2.3 above, which failure shall be governed by such Section) Borrower shall pay to the Holder $1,000 per day in cash, for each day beyond the Deadline that Borrower fails to deliver such Common Shares. Such cash amount shall be paid to Holder by the fifth day of the month following the month in which it has accrued or, at the option of the Holder (by written notice to Borrower by the first day of the month following the month in which it has accrued), shall be added to the principal amount of this Note, in which event interest shall accrue thereon in accordance with the terms of this Note and such additional principal amount shall be convertible into Common Shares in accordance with the terms of this Note. Borrower agrees that the right to convert is a valuable right to the Holder, and as such, Borrower will not take any actions to hamper, delay or prevent any Holder conversion of the Note. The damages resulting from a failure, attempt to frustrate, interference with such conversion right are difficult if not impossible to qualify. Accordingly, the parties acknowledge that the liquidated damages provision contained in this Section 2.4(g) are justified.

 

Concerning the Common Shares. The Common Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note may not be sold or transferred unless (i) such shares are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act or (ii) Borrower or its transfer agent shall have been furnished with an opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that the shares to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration or (iii) such shares are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act (or a successor rule) (“Rule 144”) or (iv) such shares are transferred to an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144) of Borrower who agrees to sell or otherwise transfer the shares only in accordance with this Section 2.5 and who is an Accredited Investor. Except as otherwise provided (and subject to the removal provisions set forth below), until such time as the Common Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note have been registered under the Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, each certificate for Common Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note that has not been so included in an effective registration statement or that has not been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption that permits removal of the legend, shall bear a legend substantially in the following form, as appropriate:

The legend set forth above shall be removed and Borrower shall issue to the Holder a new certificate therefore free of any transfer legend if (i) Borrower or its transfer agent shall have received an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Common Shares may be made without registration under the Act, which opinion shall be accepted by Borrower (which acceptance shall be subject to and conditioned on any requirements, if any, of the its transfer agent, the exchange on which Borrower is then trading or other applicable laws, rules or regulations) so that the sale or transfer is effected or (ii) in the case of the Common Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note, such security is registered for sale by the Holder under an effective registration statement filed under the Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold. In the event that Borrower does not accept the opinion of counsel provided by the Holder with respect to the transfer of Securities pursuant to an exemption from registration, such as Rule 144 or Regulation S, at the Deadline, it will be considered an Event of Default pursuant to Section 4.2 of the Note; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, if Borrower is legally unable to accept such opinion as a result of any of Borrower’s transfer agent requirements, the requirements of the exchange on which Borrower is then traded, or other applicable laws, rules or regulations, Borrower’s non-acceptance shall be an Event of Default pursuant to Section 4.25.

 

Status as Shareholder. Upon submission of a Notice of Conversion by a Holder, (i) the shares covered thereby (other than the shares, if any, which cannot be issued because their issuance would exceed such Holder’s allocated portion of the Reserved Amount or Maximum Share Amount) shall be deemed converted into Common Shares and (ii) the Holder’s rights as a Holder of such converted portion of this Note shall cease and terminate, excepting only the right to receive certificates for such Common Shares and to any remedies provided herein or otherwise available at law or in equity to such Holder because of a failure by Borrower to comply with the terms of this Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Holder has not received certificates for all Common Shares prior to the tenth (10th) business day after the expiration of the Deadline with respect to a conversion of any portion of this Note for any reason, then (unless the Holder otherwise elects to retain its status as a holder of Common Shares by so notifying Borrower) the Holder shall regain the rights of a Holder of this Note with respect to such unconverted portions of this Note and Borrower shall, as soon as practicable, return such unconverted Note to the Holder or, if the Note has not been surrendered, adjust its records to reflect that such portion of this Note has not been converted. In all cases, the Holder shall retain all of its rights and remedies (including, without limitation, (i) the right to receive Conversion Default Payments pursuant to Section 2.3 to the extent required thereby for such Conversion Default and any subsequent Conversion Default and (ii) the right to have the Conversion Price with respect to subsequent conversions determined in accordance with Section 2.3) for Borrower’s failure to convert this Note.

If the Borrower or Subsidiary does not receive the capital or financing from the respective 3rd party within 60 days after the date of the respective Offer Notice, then the Borrower must again offer the capital or financing opportunity to the Holder as described above, and the process detailed above shall be repeated.

The types of terms contained in another security that may be more favorable to the holder of such security include, but are not limited to, terms addressing conversion discounts, prepayment rate, conversion lookback periods, interest rates, original issue discounts, stock sale price, private placement price per share, and warrant coverage. If Holder elects to have the term become a part of the transaction documents with the Holder, then the Borrower shall immediately deliver acknowledgment of such adjustment in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder (the “Acknowledgment”) within three (3) business days of Borrower’s receipt of request from Holder (the “Adjustment Deadline”), provided that Borrower’s failure to timely provide the Acknowledgement shall not affect the automatic amendments contemplated hereby.

THE BORROWER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS NOTE OR ANY TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable attorney's fees and costs. In the event that any provision of this Note or any other agreement delivered in connection herewith is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law. Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of any agreement. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any suit, action or proceeding in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. All transactions contemplated herein are being made subject to the rules of Iska as found on Leonite’s website (Leonitecap.com/iska).

 

Certain Amounts. Whenever pursuant to this Note the Borrower is required to pay an amount in excess of the outstanding principal amount (or the portion thereof required to be paid at that time) plus accrued and unpaid interest plus Default Interest on such interest, the Borrower and the Holder agree that the actual damages to the Holder from the receipt of cash payment on this Note may be difficult to determine and the amount to be so paid by the Borrower represents stipulated damages and not a penalty.

 

Remedies. The Borrower acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder, by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Borrower acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Note will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Borrower of the provisions of this Note, that the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies at law or in equity, and in addition to the penalties assessable herein, to an injunction or injunctions restraining, preventing or curing any breach of this Note and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions thereof, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

 

Prepayment. Unless an Event of Default shall occur, Borrower shall have the right at any time prior to the Maturity Date, upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Holder, to prepay the Note by making a payment to Lender equal to 125% multiplied by the sum of (i) the outstanding Principal Amount, (ii) all accrued and unpaid interest, (iii) all unaccrued interest through the remainder of the Term that is guaranteed pursuant to Section 1.2 above, and (iv) any other amounts due under the Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Holder may convert any or all of this Note into shares of Common Stock at any time.

 

Usury. To the extent it may lawfully do so, the Borrower hereby agrees not to insist upon or plead or in any manner whatsoever claim, and will resist any and all efforts to be compelled to take the benefit or advantage of, usury laws wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, in connection with any action or proceeding that may be brought by the Holder in order to enforce any right or remedy under this Note.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Note, it is expressly agreed and provided that the total liability of the Borrower under this Note for payments which under Delaware law are in the nature of interest shall not exceed the maximum lawful rate authorized under applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”), and, without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall any rate of interest or default interest, or both of them, when aggregated with any other sums which under Delaware law in the nature of interest that the Borrower may be obligated to pay under this Note exceed such Maximum Rate.  It is agreed that if the maximum contract rate of interest allowed by Delaware law and applicable to this Note is increased or decreased by statute or any official governmental action subsequent to the date hereof, the new maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law will be the Maximum Rate applicable to this Note from the effective date thereof forward, unless such application is precluded by applicable law.  If under any circumstances whatsoever, interest in excess of the Maximum Rate is paid by the Borrower to the Holder with respect to indebtedness evidenced by this Note, such excess shall be applied by the Holder to the unpaid principal balance of any such indebtedness or be refunded to the Borrower, the manner of handling such excess to be at the Holder’s election.

Section 3(a)(10) Transactions. If at any time while this Note is outstanding, the Borrower enters into a transaction structured in accordance with, based upon, or related or pursuant to, in whole or in part, Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act, then a liquidated damages charge of 25% of the outstanding principal balance of this Note at that time, will be assessed and will become immediately due and payable to the Holder, either in the form of cash payment or as an addition to the balance of the Note, as determined by mutual agreement of the Borrower and Holder.

 

No Broker-Dealer Acknowledgement. Absent a final adjudication from a court of competent jurisdiction stating otherwise, so long as any obligation of Borrower under this Note or the other Transaction Documents is outstanding, the Company shall not state, claim, allege, or in any way assert to any person, institution, or entity, that Holder is currently, or ever has been, a broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

 

Opportunity to Consult with Counsel. The Borrower represents and acknowledges that it has been provided with the opportunity to discuss and review the terms of this Note and the other Transaction Documents with its counsel before signing it and that it is freely and voluntarily signing the Transaction Documents in exchange for the benefits provided herein. In light of this, the Borrower will not contest the validity of Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated therein. The Borrower further represents and acknowledges that it has been provided a reasonable period of time within which to review the terms of the Transaction Documents.

 

Guarantors. As a condition precedent to Holder’s obligations under this Note, Borrower shall have delivered to Holder confessions of judgment executed by the Borrower in form and substance satisfactory to Holder. Borrower represents acknowledges that Holder is advancing the Purchase Price hereunder, only on condition of receiving the foregoing.

 

Pending Legislation. As of the Issue Date hereof, proposed legislation exists, namely proposed amendments to Rule 144(d)(3)(ii) proposed on December 22, 2020 in SEC Release 2020-336, that would fundamentally change the economic terms of this Note. In the event the rule becomes law and becomes effective while any amounts are outstanding under this Note, Section 2.2 hereof shall be automatically amended to contain only a fixed conversion price of $.001 per share. In the event that the Borrower is in default of any of the provisions of the Note or other Transaction Documents, and the Company has not cured said default within five (5) calendar days, the fixed conversion price shall be reduced to $.0005 per share (the “Default Fixed Price”) in addition to any other principal adjustments, default interest, or other remedies available to it under law. Should the default remain uncured for 30 calendar days, the Default Fixed Price shall decrease by 10% for every seven calendar days the respective default remains uncured. In the event the final rule, or any other combination of final rules, make this provision inoperable, invalid, or otherwise have an effect that changes the economics of the transactions contemplated hereby, the pertinent clause or mechanic of operation shall be stricken and only the fixed price provision shall remain.

Re: Offering Statement on Form 1-A

 

Gentlemen:

 

We have been requested by Golden Developing Solutions, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), to furnish you with our opinion as to the matters hereinafter set forth in connection with its offering statement on Form 1-A (the “Offering Statement”) relating to the qualification of shares of the Company’s common stock under Regulation A promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Specifically, this opinion relates to 1,000,000,000 shares of the Company’s $.0001 par value common stock (the “Company Shares”).

 

In connection with this opinion, we have examined the Offering Statement, the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws (each as amended to date), copies of the records of corporate proceedings of the Company and such other documents as we have deemed necessary to enable us to render the opinion hereinafter expressed.

 

For purposes of this opinion, we have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies and the authenticity of the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies. We have also assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of the signatures of persons signing all documents in connection with which this opinion is rendered, the authority of such persons signing on behalf of the parties thereto other than the Company and the due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents by the parties thereto other than the Company. We have not independently established or verified any facts relevant to the opinions expressed herein, but have relied upon statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Company and others.

 

Based upon and subject to the foregoing qualifications, assumptions and limitations and the further limitations set forth below, we are of the opinion that the 1,000,000,000 Company Shares being offered by the Company will, when issued in accordance with the terms set forth in the Offering Statement, be legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock of the Company.

 

Our opinion expressed above is subject to the qualification that we express no opinion as to the applicability of, compliance with, or effect of any laws except the Nevada Revised Statutes (including the statutory provisions and reported judicial decisions interpreting the foregoing).

 

We hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Offering Statement and to the reference to our name under the caption “Legal Matters” in the Offering Statement and in the offering circular included in the Offering Statement. We confirm that, as of the date hereof, we own no shares of the Company’s common stock, nor any other securities of the Company.

 

Sincerely,
