Item 1. Business.
Business Development
Global System Designs, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 27, 2012. The Company incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary in the Province of Ontario, Canada on October 18, 2013, called Global System Designs Inc. Our fiscal year end is November 30. The Company's administrative address is, 24123 Peachland Blvd., C-4, #106, Port Charlotte, FL 33954. The telephone number is 941-613-9858.
Global System Designs, Inc., has recently commenced revenues, and has limited cash on hand. The Company has revenues of $6,966 and had a net loss of $19,194 for the period since inception (November 27, 2012) to November 30, 2013, and had $22,971 of cash on hand at November 30, 2013. In addition to commencement of revenues, we have relied upon the sale of our securities to our corporate officers and directors and to unrelated shareholders.
Global System Designs has never declared bankruptcy, been in receivership, or involved in any kind of legal proceeding.
Principal Products, Services and Their Markets
Global System Designs, Inc. has developed “green building” information for homeowners and owner-builders (individuals who choose to build their own homes, with or without the assistance of building contractors). Such homeowners need clear, understandable, technically sound information about how their new or renovated home can best be insulated and operated to provide energy savings, protect their health and the environment, and reduce construction and operating costs.
Global System Designs, Inc. provides an education and consulting service aimed at consumers who are facing a home construction or renovation project. The company produces clear, technically sound information products focusing on selecting building materials and products, evaluating and hiring a contractor, and carrying out energy efficiency upgrades, repairs, and other construction and renovation projects. The company will also offer consulting services in the areas of building plan evaluation, contract preparation, and research.
The Company’s target demographic will include homeowners, prospective homeowners and owner-builders seeking information and advice on green construction and energy savings.
Global System Designs recently formed a Canadian subsidiary, Global System Designs Inc. The subsidiary was formed in response to Canadian demand for consultative green-building services. Canadian demand was detected in response to initial dissemination of green-building fact sheets. A distinct market was detected in Canada, and Global System Designs’ management decided to move into the market through the opening of its subsidiary. The Company anticipates growing this business over the next year. We are still in the process of completing our enterprise level website, and expect to launch this service over the next 6 months, with the USA portion of the project to follow suit as well in the next 6-12 months.
A fact sheet will interpret information from the latest building science research and best green construction and renovation practices in an understandable form for homeowners. A fact sheet normally includes suggested web links or contacts for further information on the topic..
Global System Designs monetizes its business in the following two ways:
a)
Each fact sheet will be valued at $15.00 per download. .
b)
The marketing of each fact sheet will include a follow-up offer for further consultation. Consultation fees will be set by the hour or by the project, depending upon the scope of services required. .
Distribution Methods
Homeowners will be able to download factsheets from the Company’s website. Fact sheets will be updated and re-posted periodically to reflect technological advances and other new information. Fee-based consultation services would be provided in response to e-mail contacts and phone calls. Questionnaires and checklist forms would be posted on the website to guide users in consultations with Global System Designs experts.
Status of Publicly Announced New Products or Services
Global System currently has limited products or services. Initial web products are finishing development, and are constituted by a preliminary set of fact sheets addressing those topics most likely to be in demand by homeowners and owner-builders., These initial topics are likely to include energy saving measures, durability and indoor air quality considerations for purchase and installation of materials and products including adhesives, cabinets and vanities, counters, deck material, flooring, framing material (lumber and other material), insulation, interior walls and ceilings, lighting, paints, roofing, sealants, and caulking, siding, windows and doors.
Competitive Business Conditions and Strategy; Global System Designs’ Position in the Industry
Global System Designs is in the process of establishing itself as a competitive company in the green housing field. Competitors include construction industry groups, consulting firms, “green” websites and consumer advocacy groups, all of which may distribute information about green construction and renovation.
We believe potential competitors for this enterprise are highly knowledgeable, respected authorities on green construction and renovation practices who serve relevant information needs for homeowners. Currently there are the following types of organizations serving some of these information needs:
1.
Government agencies providing green building information through websites and various publications.
2.
Green building manuals and similar guidance documents. These are how-to-do-it guidance materials for contractors wishing to incorporate green building technology in their construction and renovation projects.
3.
Research institutions and technical publications on green building science. These organizations and publications provide the science and technology supporting green building techniques, materials and products.
4.
Green construction material and product listing services. These are lists of products and materials rated against various green criteria.
We believe none of the above-described organizations or products provides the kind of comprehensive, analytical, unbiased, technically sound information service in a form useful for homeowners as does our service.
Talent Sources and Names of Principal Suppliers
Global System Designs is seeking out and entering into consulting agreements to develop our website, research, write and format the fact sheets, and advise clients about green construction issues. We are primarily utilizing management knowledge and hours to execute various company tasks at present.
Global System Designs will attract green construction expert personnel through its industry connections, as well as through attending environmental and green building conferences and advertising in leading industry (environmental and building science) publications. These individuals would be independent contractors and not employees of the Company.
Patents, Trademarks, Licenses, Agreements or Contracts
There are no aspects of our business plan that require a patent, trademark, or product license. We have not entered into any vendor agreements or contracts that give or could give rise to any obligations or concessions.
Governmental Controls, Approval and Licensing Requirements
We are not currently subject to direct federal, state or local regulation other than the requirement to have a business license for the areas in which we conduct business.
Research and Development Activities and Costs
We have spent no time on specialized research and development activities to date. We have allocated funds for subscriptions and membership fees for professional journals, membership-based construction industry websites and trade publications; preliminary consultation with building research organizations and other experts as well as development and completion of our website.
Number of Employees
Global System Designs has no employees. The officers and director are donating their time to the development of the company, and intend to do continue to provide services at no completion until we have sufficient revenues.. We have no other employees, and do not foresee hiring any additional employees in the near future. We will be engaging independent contractors to develop our website, research, write and format the fact sheets, and advise clients about green construction issues.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this annual report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to those discussed below and elsewhere in this annual report.
Our audited financial statements are stated in United States Dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
Results of Operations
Our operations commenced in November 2013, as such comparative numbers prior to this are not reflective of our results for the year ended November 30, 2013, due to the recent start of these operations. Additionally, the period ended November 30, 2012 is comprised of four (4) days as compared to an entire year for November 30, 2013.
We have generated $6,966 in revenues since inception (November 27, 2012) and have incurred $26,160 in expenses through November 30, 2013.
The following table provides selected financial data about our company as at November 30, 2013 and 2012.
Balance sheet Data:
As at November 30, 2013, our current assets were $42,728 and our current liabilities were $6,324, which resulted in working capital of $36,404. As at November 30, 2013, current assets were comprised of $22,971 in cash, $7,757 in accounts receivable, and $12,000 in prepaid expenses as compared to no current assets at November 30, 2012. At November 30, 2013, current liabilities were comprised of $6,324 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Stockholders' equity was $36,404 as of November 30, 2013, as compared to $0 for November 30, 2012.
The following summary of our results of operations, for the year ended November 30, 2013, period from inception (November 27, 2012) to November 30, 2012 and for the period from inception (November 30, 2012) to November 30, 2013, should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements, as included in this Form 10-K.
Revenue
Revenue commenced during November 2013 from our consulting operations through our wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary Global System Designs Inc. We earned revenues of $6,966 for the year ended November 30, 2013, compared to no revenues for the period ended November 30, 2012.
Expenses
Operating expenses for the year ended November 30, 2013, increased by $24,360 from $950 for the period ended November 30, 2012. The increase in expenses can be attributed to increased professional fees, general and administrative expenses as we had a full year of operations for 2013 as compared to four days for the period from inception to November 30 2012. Our professional fees of $22,275 were primarily due to legal and accounting fees related to our recent S-1 registration statement.
Liquidity and Financial Condition
Working Capital
Cash Flows
Cash Flow from Operating Activities
During the year ended November 30, 2013, our company used $31,779 in cash from operating activities compared to the use of $950 of cash for operating activities during the period ended November 30, 2012. The increase in cash used for operating activities was primarily attributed to professional fees related to our recent S-1 offering.
Cash Flow from Investing Activities
From inception through to November 30, 2013, we did not have any cash flows from investing activities.
Cash Flow from Financing Activities
During the year ended November 30, 2013, our company received $54,750 in cash in financing activities primarily from proceeds from the issuance of common shares to unaffiliated investors, compared to cash provided by financing activities of $950 for the period ended November 30, 2012, for cash received from an officer for purchase of common shares.
Plan of Operation
Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital and/or generate sufficient revenues to pay for our expenses. Our only source for cash at this time is modest revenues and investments by others. We must raise cash and/or increase our revenues to stay in business. At this time, however, the Company does not have plans or intentions to raise additional funds by way of the sale of additional securities.
Global System Designs is a development stage company that has limited operations, limited revenue, no financial backing and limited assets. Our plan is to develop and market educational and advisory services to help homeowners save energy, protect their indoor air quality, and avoid unnecessary impacts on the larger environment.. The Company will offer consulting services in the areas of building plan evaluation, contract preparation, and research. Website users will be charged for downloading fact sheets, and consulting fees will be charged for building plan evaluations and other technical advice to clients.
During the next year of operations, the 12 month period from the date of this report, Global System Designs will continue to expand its Canadian operations, concentrate on finishing the development of our website, prospect for USA clients, and market our services.
We will also broaden our set of illustrated fact sheets (one to five pages in length) addressing those topics that, based on our experience, are most likely to be in demand by homeowners and owner-builders. These initial fact sheets will serve as a marketing tool to attract users to the website and the consulting services. Initial response to the fact sheets and inquires received at the website will help us identify new topics and areas for developing future information products. The website’s content will utilize SEO (Search Engine Optimization) to distribute our message on helping homeowners understand green construction concepts. A budget will also be set aside for a targeted Google adwords and banner advertising campaign. Introductory offers will also be incorporated into our website, banner advertising, and direct mail marketing to improve response.
We anticipate another 6 months to complete our website development. In eight to twelve months’ time, we will begin our advertising and marketing to source prospective clients through our SEO, adwords, and banner advertising. We will also explore taking out advertisements in key trade magazines or other industry related websites. We will focus our marketing on homeowners, owner-builders, and building supply retailers. Also, in months eight through twelve, we will identify specific needs for contracting the plan evaluation consulting services that Global System Designs will offer to homeowners.
In the event that we do not have sufficient funds, we will endeavor to proceed with our plan of operations by locating alternative sources of financing. Although there are no written agreements in place, one form of alternative financing that may be available to us is self-financing through contributions from the officers and directors. While the officers and directors have generally indicated a willingness to provide services and financial contributions if necessary, there are presently no agreements, arrangements, commitments, or specific understandings, either verbally or in writing, between the officers and directors and Global System Designs.
During the next year of operations, our officers and directors will also provide their labor at no charge. We do not anticipate hiring any staff in the next 12 months of operation, and will rely on the services of an outside contractor for the development of our website.
We are a public entity, subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Wee will incur ongoing expenses associated with professional fees for accounting, legal and a host of other expenses for annual reports and proxy statements. We estimate that these accounting, legal and other professional costs would be a minimum of $20,000 in the next year and will be higher, in the following years, if our business volume and activity increases. Increased business activity could greatly increase our professional fees for reporting requirements and this could have a significant impact on future operating costs. The difference between having the ability to sustain our cash flow requirements over the next twelve months and the need for additional outside funding will depend on how fast we can generate sales revenue.
At present, we only have enough cash on hand to cover our expected legal and accounting costs for the next 12 months. If we do not have sufficient funds to proceed with the implementation of our business plan, we may have to find alternative sources of funds, like a second public offering, a private placement of securities, or loans from our officers or third parties (such as banks or other institutional lenders). Equity financing could result in additional dilution to then existing shareholders. If we are unable to meet our needs for cash from cash on hand, or possible alternative sources, then we may be unable to continue to maintain, develop or expand our operations.
Limited Operating History; Need for Additional Capital
There is no historical financial information about us on which to base an evaluation of our performance. We are a development stage company and have generated limited revenues from operations. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources, possible delays in developing our website, and possible cost overruns due to the price and cost increases in supplies and services.
At present, we only have enough cash on hand to cover minimal operating costs for the next 12 months.
If we are unable to meet our needs for cash from either our operations, or possible alternative sources, then we may be unable to continue, develop, or expand our operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
To meet our need for cash we raised money from our recent Offering. On April 8, 2013, the Company filed a Prospectus as part of its Registration Statement on Form S-1 which the Company sought to raise $80,000 under the Offering. On September 10, 2013, the Company closed its Offering and will not sell any additional shares under this Prospectus. The Company sold 1,775,000 shares under the Prospectus, raising a total of $35,500.
We received our initial funding of $5,700 through the sale of common stock to our officers and directors. Paul McDonald purchased 950,000 shares of our common stock at $0.001 on November 29, 2012 for $950 and 1,000,000 shares on January 8, 2013 for $2,000. David Rose purchased 1,375,000 shares of our common stock at $0.002 on January 8, 2013 for $2,750. During March, 2013, eight (8) unaffiliated investors purchased 725,000 shares of common stock at $0.02, for $14,500 in a private offering.
Currently we do not have sufficient capital to fund our business development for the next 12 months. We feel we have enough funds to cover our professional fees for the next 12 months.
Our financial statements from November 27, 2012 (date of inception) through the period ended November 30, 2013, reported $6,966 in revenues and a net loss of $19,194.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have 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 that is material to investors.

Port Charlotte, FL
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Global System Designs, Inc., a development stage company, as of November 30, 2012, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended and for the period November 27, 2012 (date of inception) through November 30, 2012. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Global System Designs, Inc. as of November 30, 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period November 27, 2012 (date of inception) through November 30, 2012 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has a loss from operations, no working capital, negative cash flows from operations and an accumulated deficit. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3.

Notes to the Financial Statements
November 30, 2013 and 2012
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Global System Designs, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Nevada corporation incorporated on November 27, 2012. It is based in Port Charlotte, FL, USA. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and the Company’s fiscal year end is November 30.
The Company is a development stage company that intends to operate as an educational and consulting services business focused on green home construction and renovation projects. The Company will produce clear technically sound information products focused on: selecting building materials and products, evaluating and hiring contractors, and carrying out energy efficiency upgrades, repairs, and other construction and renovation projects. The Company will offer consulting services in the areas of building plan evaluation, contract preparation, and research. To date, the Company’s activities have been generally limited to its formation and the raising of equity capital.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Development Stage Company
The Company is a development stage company as defined by section ASC 915, “Development Stage Entities.” The Company is still devoting substantially all of its efforts on establishing the business and its planned principal operations have recently commenced, however revenues produced are not significant. All losses accumulated since inception have been considered as part of the Company's development stage activities.
Basis of Consolidation
These financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, Global System Designs Inc. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Basis of Presentation
The Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Financial Statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) of the United States.
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 and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. The estimates and judgments will also affect the reported amounts for certain revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these good faith estimates and judgments.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks, money market funds, and certificates of term deposits with maturities of less than three months from inception, which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which, in the opinion of management, are subject to an insignificant risk of loss in value. The Company had $22,971 and $0 in cash and cash equivalents as of November 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Net Loss per Share of Common Stock
The Company has adopted ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share,” (“EPS”) which requires presentation of basic EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation. In the accompanying financial statements, basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic earnings per share, for the year ended November 30, 2013 and period ended November 30, 2012:
The Company has no potentially dilutive securities, such as options or warrants, currently issued and outstanding.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of its cash and cash equivalents and related party payables it will likely incur in the near future. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions of high credit worthiness. At times, its cash and cash equivalents with a particular financial institution may exceed any applicable government insurance limits. The Company’s management plans to assess the financial strength and credit worthiness of any parties to which it extends funds, and as such, it believes that any associated credit risk exposures are limited.
Financial Instruments
The Company follows ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, which defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1
Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2
Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3
Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Share-based Expenses
ASC 718 “Compensation - Stock Compensation” prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment transactions in which employee services are acquired. Transactions include incurring liabilities, or issuing or offering to issue shares, options, and other equity instruments such as employee stock ownership plans and stock appreciation rights. Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values. That expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505-50, “Equity - Based Payments to Non-Employees.” Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees is based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The fair value of the share-based payment transaction is determined at the earlier of performance commitment date or performance completion date.
No share-based expenses were recorded since November 27, 2012 (inception) to November 30, 2013.
Advertising Costs
The Company follows ASC 720, Advertising Costs, and expenses costs as incurred. Advertising expense totaled $2,350 and $0 for the year ending November 30, 2013 and period ending November 30, 2012, respectively.
Foreign Currency Translations
The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. Our subsidiary’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar. All transactions initiated in Canadian dollars are translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statements,” as follows:
(i)
Monetary assets and liabilities at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date.
(ii)
Equity at historical rates.
(iii)
Revenue and expense items at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the period.
Adjustments arising from such translations are deferred until realization and are included as a separate component of stockholders’ equity as a component of comprehensive income or loss. Therefore, translation adjustments are not included in determining net income (loss) but reported as other comprehensive income.
For foreign currency transactions, the Company translates these amounts to the Company’s functional currency at the exchange rate effective on the invoice date. If the exchange rate changes between the time of purchase and the time actual payment is made, a foreign exchange transaction gain or loss results which is included in determining net income for the period. No significant realized exchange gains or losses were recorded since November 27, 2012 (inception) to November 30, 2013.
Related Parties
The Company follows ASC 850, “Related Party Disclosures,” for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions. See Note 6.
Commitments and Contingencies
The Company follows ASC 450-20, “Loss Contingencies,” to report accounting for contingencies. Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated. There were no commitments or contingencies as of November 30, 2013 and 2012.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued since the last audit of our financial statements. The Company’s management believes that these recent pronouncements will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of November 30, 2013, the Company has a net loss from operations of $18,244, an accumulated deficit of $19,194 and has earned no revenues since inception. The Company intends to fund operations through equity financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund its capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements for the year ending November 30, 2014.
The ability of the Company to emerge from the development stage is dependent upon, among other things, obtaining additional financing to continue operations, and development of its business plan. In response to these problems, management intends to raise additional funds through public or private placement offerings.
These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE 4 - EQUITY
Preferred Stock
The Company has authorized 15,000,000 preferred shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. The Board of Directors are authorized to divide the authorized shares of Preferred Stock into one or more series, each of which shall be so designated as to distinguish the shares thereof from the shares of all other series and classes.
There were no preferred shares issued and outstanding as of November 30, 2013 and 2012.
Common Shares
The Company has authorized 100,000,000 common shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Each common share entitles the holder to one vote, in person or proxy, on any matter on which action of the stockholders of the corporation is sought.
Since inception (November 27, 2012) to November 30, 2013, the company has issued a total of 5,825,000 common shares for $55,700 cash, as follows:
·
On November 27, 2012, the company issued to its founder 950,000 shares of common stock at $0.001 per share for $950.
·
On January 8, 2013, the company issued to its founders 2,375,000 shares of common stock at $0.002 per share for $4,750.
·

·
On August 13, 2013, the issued to unaffiliated investors, 1,775,000 shares of common stock at $0.02 per share for $35,500.
The Company has no stock option plan, warrants or other dilutive securities.
NOTE 5 - PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
The Company provides for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations.
The provision for income taxes differs from the amounts which would be provided by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 34% to the net loss before provision for income taxes for the following reasons:
Net deferred tax assets consist of the following components as of:
Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Income Tax laws of United States of America, net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $18,345 for federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. When a change in ownership occurs, net operating loss carry forwards may be limited as to use in future years. Net operating loss carry forwards begin to expire in 2032.
NOTE 6 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Equity
On November 27, 2012 the Company issued 950,000 shares of its common stock to an officer at $0.001 per share for cash totalling $950.
On January 8, 2013 the Company issued 2,375,000 shares of its common stock to its two officers, who are also our directors, at $0.002 per share for cash totalling $4,750.
Other
The controlling shareholder has pledged his support to fund continuing operations during the development stage; however there is no written commitment to this effect. The Company is dependent upon the continued support.
The officers and directors of the Company may be involved in other business activities and may, in the future, become involved in other business opportunities that become available. He may face a conflict in selecting between the Company and other business interests. The Company has not formulated a policy for the resolution of such conflicts.
The Company does not own or lease property or lease office space. The office space used by the Company was arranged by the founder of the Company to use at no charge.
The Company does not have employment contracts with its sole key employee, the controlling shareholder, who is the sole officer and director of the Company.
NOTE 7 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company has no commitments or contingencies as of November 30, 2013 and 2012.
From time to time the Company may become a party to litigation matters involving claims against the Company. Management believes that it is adequately insured for its operations and there are no current matters that would have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
NOTE 8 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Management has evaluated subsequent events through the date these financial statements were available to be issued. Based on our evaluation no other events have occurred that require disclosure.
Item 9.
Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
On July 15, 2013, (the “Dismissal Date”), we dismissed Drake Klein Messineo, CPAs, PA (“DKM”) as our independent registered public accounting firm. Our Company’s Board of Directors approved of the dismissal on July 15, 2013. The reports of DKM on the Company’s financial statements for the year ended November 30, 2012 and for the period November 27, 2012 (inception) through November 30, 2012 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and such reports were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principle, except to indicate that there was substantial doubt as to our Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
On July 15, 2013 (the “Engagement Date”), our Company engaged Messineo & Co, CPAs LLC (“M&Co”), as our new independent registered public accounting firm. The engagement of M&Co was approved by our Company’s Board of Directors on July 15, 2013. During the year ended November 30, 2012, and through the Engagement Date, we did not consult with M&Co regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, (ii) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements by M&Co, in either case where written or oral advice provided by M&Co would be an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issues or (iii) any other matter that was the subject of a disagreement between us and our former auditor or was a reportable event (as described in Items 304(a)(1)(iv) or Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, respectively).
Item 9A.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our senior management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded as of the Evaluation Date that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective such that the information relating to us required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. With the participation of our Chief Executive and Financial Officer, our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of November 30, 2013 based on the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework. Based upon such evaluation, our management concluded that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of November 30, 2013 based on the COSO framework criteria, as more fully described below. This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be considered to be material weaknesses.
The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) lack of a functioning audit committee, (2) lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (3) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; and (4) management dominated by a single individual without adequate compensating controls. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by our Chief Executive and Financial Officer in connection with the review of our financial statements as of November 30, 2013.
Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth above did not have an effect on our financial results. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and the lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.
This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to an exemption for non-accelerated filers from the internal control audit requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
Officers’ Certifications
Appearing as exhibits to this Annual Report are “Certifications” of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. The Certifications are required pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Section 302 Certifications”). This section of the Annual Report contains information concerning the Controls Evaluation referred to in the Section 302 Certification. This information should be read in conjunction with the Section 302 Certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended November 30, 2013, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

Until the Company develops a more comprehensive Board of Directors, all proceedings will be conducted by resolutions consented to in writing by all the directors and filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the directors. Such resolutions consented to in writing by the directors entitled to vote on that resolution at a meeting of the directors are, according to the Nevada General Corporate Law and our Bylaws, as valid and effective as if they had been passed at a meeting of the directors duly called and held.
Nomination Process
As of Nov 30, 2013, we did not effect any material changes to the procedures by which our shareholders may recommend nominees to our board of directors.

Item 12.
Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters.
The following table sets forth, as of February 15, 2014, certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common shares by each shareholder known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common shares, as well as by each of our current directors and executive officers as a group. Each person has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares of common stock, except as otherwise indicated. Beneficial ownership consists of a direct interest in the shares of common stock, except as otherwise indicated.
(1)
Under Rule 13d-3, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the person’s actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding on February 15, 2014. As of February 15, 2014, there were 5,825,000 shares of our company’s common stock issued and outstanding.
Changes in Control
We are unaware of any contract or other arrangement the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change in control of our company.
Item 13.
Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.
Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management
On November 29, 2012, 950,000 shares of Global System Designs common stock were issued to Paul McDonald, an officer and director of the Company, at a price of $0.001 per share (total of $950). On January 8, 2013, 1,000,000 shares and 1,375,000 shares were issued to Paul McDonald and David Rose, an officer and director of the Company, respectively, at a price of $0.002 per share (total of $4,750).
Shareholder loan
From November 27, 2012 (date of inception) until the audit date of November 30, 2012, there were no shareholder loans.
Messrs. McDonald and Rose are founders and therefore may be considered promoters, as that term is defined in Rule 405 of Regulation C.
Director Independence
Our Board of Directors has determined that it does not have a member that is “independent” as the term is used in Item 7(d) (3) (iv) of Schedule 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Item 14.
Item 14. Principal Accounting Fees and Services.
The aggregate fees billed for the most recently completed fiscal year ended November 30, 2013 and 2012 for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the audit of our annual financial statements and review of the financial statements included in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for these fiscal periods were as follows:
(1)
Audit fees consist of fees incurred for professional services rendered for the audit of our financial statements, for reviews of our interim financial statements included in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and for services that are normally provided in connection with statutory or regulatory filings or engagements.
(2)
Audit-related fees consist of fees billed for professional services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements, but are not reported under “Audit fees.”
(3)
Tax fees consist of fees billed for professional services relating to tax compliance, tax planning, and tax advice.
(4)
All other fees consist of fees billed for all other services.
Our board of directors pre-approves all services provided by our independent auditors. All of the above services and fees were reviewed and approved by the board of directors either before or after the respective services were rendered.
Our board of directors has considered the nature and amount of fees billed by our independent auditors and believes that the provision of services for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining our independent auditors’ independence.
