Business


Golden Developing Solutions, Inc. (the "Company") is 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 our Internet website (the "Website"). The Company is developing an online store 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 the Company. The company 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 will be able to rapidly scale our products and services with minimal marginal costs. Each additional brand, category or product that we add to our platform adds negligible server hosting costs. It also allows us to have a virtual presence and exposure to every regulated cannabis market without establishing a costly physical presence in each state. This minimizes the costs of scaling and required capital while, at the same time, offering a direct role in the cannabis industry without ever touching the plant itself.

We are a startup company in the cannabis industry. Our focus is to create online sales and marketing initiatives to build a dominate brand. Our oil and extracts division will focus on online sales of formulated CBD / hemp oil tinctures, softgels, capsules. We have our Website under development and anticipate to be online in the next few months. We are in the process of acquiring trademarks relative to our products. Agreements with raw material suppliers and related products have been obtained. All supply will come domestically with white label agreements when needed. Online Marketing program in place to drive fast paced growth plan in line with industry. Orders will be handled online and shipped via appropriate carriers from our inventory in leased warehouse. Drop shipping may be used during initial launch phases. Customers for CBD/hemp products expect the highest of quality and consistency and pricing is based on those levels. We expect to be price and quality competitive on the higher end of that scale. All product quality is 100% customer satisfaction guaranteed and products not deemed to be of quality can be returned for a refund. Quality and consistency of quality are needed to avoid returned product issues which could result in financial liability. Online payment gateway being established with backup vendor for online payment gateway in place as well.

Going Concern


The financial statements for the years ended December 31, 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.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had no off-balance sheet arrangements.





Unrecognized Tax Benefits



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. The Company has incurred net losses in past years and, therefore, has no tax liability.

The Company reported no uncertain tax liability as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and expects no significant change to the uncertain tax liability over the next twelve months.





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.





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. 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, 2021.

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



The Company generates revenue from sales of cannabinoid products. 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. 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, 2021, 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

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, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 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.

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). 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.

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





  December 31, 2021       Level 1       Level 2       Level 3        Total

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, 2021 and 2020 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.

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