ITEM 1. BUSINESS
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Plan of Operations
We were founded in 2008 as Sweet Spot Games, Inc., a Nevada corporation on June 2, 2008. We changed our name to Green Field Farms Food, Inc. ("Greenfield") on March 31, 2011. In October 2013, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with COHP, LLC, through which the Company acquired certain of the assets and liabilities of COHP including the operations of Carmela’s Pizzeria through a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary Carmela’s Pizzeria CO, Inc. Carmela's Pizzeria presently has three Dayton, Ohio area locations offering authentic New York style pizza. Carmela's offers a full service menu for Dine In, Carry out and Delivery as well as pizza buffets in select stores. Carmela’s has been noted in Dayton Daily News as one of “The Best Pizzerias” in Dayton.
The Carmela’s Pizzeria assets and liabilities were acquired in exchange for 1,000 shares of our newly issued Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series C”) that converted on October 31, 2013 into 53,965,942 shares of common stock upon the effective date of a 1 for 100 reverse split. In addition, COHP and its assigns received warrants to purchase a total of 53,965,942 shares of our common stock exercisable for a period of five years in the amounts and exercise prices as follows: 59,962 at $3.00; 59,962 at $6.00; and 59,962 at $7.50. The value of these assets was $1,586,599 at December 31, 2013, which represents the fair market value of the common stock and warrants issued in the acquisition at their issuance dates.
Prior to the acquisition of Carmela’s Pizzeria, we operated as a consumer and wholesale driven producer of grassfed beef. The Company had supplied Lowes Food Stores, a North Carolina based grocer with over 100 locations in North and South Carolina on a very limited basis. Greenfield Farms Grassfed Beef and its collective group of producers represented over 2500 acres in pasture under management and approximately 2000 head of cattle at its peak.
The Company will continue to explore other business opportunities in complementary food related business segments much like the acquisition of Carmela’s Pizzeria, although no further agreements have been reached.
With the acquisition of Carmela’s Pizzeria operations, our business operations moving forward will focus on the operations of the existing three restaurants and we are presently formulating plans to begin offering franchise opportunities later in 2015.
For SEC reporting purposes, Carmela’s is treated as the continuing reporting entity that acquired GRAS as a result of the Carmela’s acquisition transaction. The quarterly and annual reports filed after the transaction, beginning with this report, have been prepared as if Carmela’s (accounting acquirer) were the legal successor to the Company’s reporting obligation as of the date of the acquisition. Therefore, all financial statements filed subsequent to the transaction reflect the historical financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of Carmela’s for all periods prior to the share exchange; and consolidated with the Company from the date of the share Exchange. All share and per share amounts of Carmela’s have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the legal capital structure of the Company.
In their opinion letter for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, our auditors included an explanatory paragraph that disclosed conditions that raise concerns about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Please refer to the audited financial statements and accompanying auditors report within this filing.
Our Operations
We currently offer two restaurant concepts in our four Company owned restaurant locations including:
·
A full-service dining room menu comprising a Carmela’s Pizzeria and including a limited pizza buffet and alcohol and a Sports Grill.
·
A smaller Carmela’s Pizzeria with full menu dining room including limited pizza buffet, delivery and carry-out; as well as a drive-thru in certain locations.
In addition, our locations may offer a “Carmela’s Treats” walk-up window offering ice cream style dessert treats offered to both diners within the restaurant or patrons looking for dessert only offerings.
Each concept is designed to offer quality meals at affordable prices with an emphasis on efficiencies in food ordering, preparation and service. We believe that the overall configuration of each concept results in simplified scalable operations, increased efficiency and improved consistency and quality of our food products. Our restaurants may be configured to adapt to a variety of building shapes and sizes by utilizing the restaurant concept that best fits the individual location. This offers the flexibility necessary for our concepts to be operated at a multitude of locations.
In addition to offering New York style pizza for dine-in, carry-out or delivery at select locations, our buffet menu offers a variety of pizza toppings and special combinations of toppings. Stores offering full buffets also offer pasta, salads, comfort foods, and in a family-oriented atmosphere.
During 2014, we announced, and are currently working on, creating a franchising concept to involve three separate business elements including:
·
A full-service dining room menu comprising a Carmela’s Pizzeria and including a limited pizza buffet and alcohol and a Sports Grill.
·
A smaller Carmela’s Pizzeria with full menu dining room including limited pizza buffet, delivery and carry-out.
·
A Carmela’s Pizzeria delivery and carry-out model similar to those of the leading pizza delivery chains and drive-thru access in some cases.
In addition, there are plans for a Carmela’s catering division as a separate business unit that prospective franchisees may add to build sales and profits. A Carmela’s Treats walk-up window concept may also be added providing a separate profit center offering ice cream desserts. We are currently working on the initial phase of the national franchising program. This will include development of the Franchise Disclosure Document (“FDD”), the legal document presented to prospective franchise buyers in the presale process. In addition, candidate review and screening for a national franchise director has commenced but not yet been completed as of the filing of this report. The Company is also working to identify a franchising partner to complete the franchise operating system, collateral marketing materials and other supporting legal documentation.
One of our long-term objectives is to selectively expand through franchising along with adding a small number of Company-owned restaurants by identifying appropriate opportunities. We believe that developing a domestic network of franchise and Company-owned restaurants will play an important strategic role in a predominately franchised operating structure. In addition to generating revenues and earnings, we expect to use domestic Company-owned restaurants as test sites for new products and promotions as well as restaurant operational improvements and as a forum for training new managers and franchisees. We also believe that as the number of franchise and Company-owned restaurants increases, they may add to the economies of scale available for advertising, marketing and other costs for the entire system.
Food and Supply Distribution
We currently purchase our restaurant supplies from local wholesale food distributors in the Dayton, Ohio area. If we are able to expand through franchising, we will identify a suitable partner for outsourcing our warehousing and distribution services to a reputable and experienced restaurant distribution company. There are many regional and national companies to choose from that we believe will offer significant choice to tailor a program necessary for our specific needs. We may also choose to outsource our product sourcing, purchasing, quality assurance, franchisee order and billing services, and logistics support functions. These decisions will be made as we move forward with development of our franchising program during 2015.
Advertising
We presently advertise locally in the Dayton Ohio area mainly through direct marketing. As we move to create our franchising concept, we will be required to communicate a common brand message at the regional, local market and restaurant levels, to create and reinforce a strong, consistent marketing message to consumers in order to create successful franchise start-ups and garner sufficient market share. It is typical to require franchisees to participate in, and contribute to, an advertising program as part of their franchising fees. Once again, these decisions will be made as we move forward with development of our franchising program during 2015.
Government Regulation
We are subject to various federal, state and local laws affecting the operation of our restaurants. Each restaurant is subject to licensing and regulation by a number of governmental authorities, which include health, safety, sanitation, wage and hour, alcoholic beverage, building and fire agencies in the state or municipality in which the restaurant is located. Difficulties in obtaining, or the failure to obtain, required licenses or approvals could delay or prevent the opening of a new restaurant or require the temporary or permanent closing of existing restaurants in a particular area.
We will be subject to Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) regulation and to various state laws regulating the offer and sale of franchises once our planned franchising program commences. The FTC will require us to furnish to prospective franchisees the FDD containing prescribed information. Substantive state laws that regulate the franchise or franchisee relationship presently exist in a number of states, and bills have been introduced in Congress from time to time that would provide for further federal regulation of the franchisor-franchisee relationship in certain respects. Some foreign countries also have disclosure requirements and other laws regulating franchising and the franchisor-franchisee relationship.
Competition
The restaurant industry, and specifically the pizza restaurant industry, is intensely competitive with respect to price, service, location and food quality, and there are many well-established competitors with substantially greater brand recognition and financial and other resources than us. Competitors include a large number of easily recognizable international, national and regional restaurant and pizza chains, as well as local restaurants and pizza operators. Some of our competitors may be better established in the markets where our restaurants are or may eventually be located. Within the pizza segment of the restaurant industry, we believe currently that our primary competitors are national pizza chains. As we move forward with franchising plans, our competition will potentially include regional chains, local restaurants as well as “take and bake” concept offerings. We also compete against the frozen pizza products available to consumers in all manners of retail stores. A change in the pricing or other market strategies of one or more of our competitors could have an adverse impact on our sales and earnings.
With respect to the potential sale of franchises, we will compete with many franchisors of restaurants and other business concepts. We believe that the principal competitive factors affecting the sale of franchises are franchise entry costs, product quality, price, value, consumer acceptance, franchisor experience and support, and the quality of the relationship maintained between the franchisor and its franchisees. In general, there is also active competition for management personnel and attractive commercial real estate sites suitable for our restaurants.
Employees
In addition to our executive officers, as of May 18, 2015 we had thirty-one full-time and thirty-two part-time employees at our four Company owned restaurants. None of our employees are currently covered by collective bargaining agreements.
ITEM 1A.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
The purchase of shares of our common stock is very speculative and involves a very high degree of risk. An investment in our stock is suitable only for the persons who can afford the loss of their entire investment. Accordingly, investors should carefully consider the following risk factors, as well as other information set forth herein, in making an investment decision with respect to securities of Inhibiton.
OUR AUDITORS HAVE NOTED THERE IS CERTAIN DOUBT ABOUT OUR ABILITY TO OPERATE AS A GOING CONCERN
Management has taken steps to revise the Company's operating and financial requirements. The Company is actively pursuing additional funding and a potential merger or acquisition candidate and strategic partners, which would enhance owners' investment. However, there can be no assurance that sufficient funds required during the next year or thereafter will be generated from operations or that funds will be available from external sources such as debt or equity financings or other potential sources. The lack of additional capital resulting from the inability to generate cash flow from operations or to raise capital from external sources would force the Company to substantially curtail or cease operations and would, therefore, have a material adverse effect on its business. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that any such required funds, if available, will be available on attractive terms or that they will not have a significant dilutive effect on the Company's existing stockholders.
The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability or classification of asset-carrying amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
WE ARE NOT CURRENTLY PROFITABLE AND MAY NEVER BECOME PROFITABLE.
We have a history of significant losses with our grassfed beef operations and expect to incur additional losses and negative operating cash flow for the foreseeable future as we move to expand our business with franchising plans for our restaurant operations. As a result, we may never achieve or maintain profitability. Even if we succeed in further developing our franchising plans, we may continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future and may never become profitable. We also expect to continue to incur significant operating and capital expenditures and those expenses may not be offset by our revenues in any substantial way. As a result, we will need to generate significant revenues or raise additional capital in order to achieve and maintain profitability. We may not be able to generate these revenues or achieve profitability in the future. Our failure to achieve or maintain profitability could negatively impact the value of our stock.
OUR CURRENT MANAGEMENT CONTROL OUR BUSINESS AFFAIRS IN WHICH CASE YOU WILL HAVE LITTLE OR NO PARTICIPATION IN OUR BUSINESS
Our current management control the company through ownership of our preferred stock. As a result, they have total control over all matters requiring approval by our stockholders without the approval of minority stockholders in some cases. They are also able to elect all of the members of our Board of Directors, which will allow them to control our affairs and management. They are also able to affect all corporate matters requiring stockholder approval by written consent, without the need for a duly noticed and duly-held meeting of stockholders. As a result, they have significant influence and control over all matters requiring approval by our stockholders. Accordingly, you are limited in your ability to affect change in how we conduct our business.
WE MAY INCUR SIGNIFICANT COSTS TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND ACCOUNTING REQUIREMENTS.
We expect to incur significant costs associated with our public company reporting requirements, costs associated with applicable corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other rules implemented by the SEC. We expect all of these applicable rules and regulations to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time-consuming and costly. While we have extremely limited experience as a public company, we estimate that these additional costs will total approximately $50,000 per year. We also expect that these applicable rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers. We are currently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these newly applicable rules, and we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.
RISKS RELATIING TO OUR SECURITIES
THERE IS CURRENTLY A VERY LIMITED MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK AND NO ASSURANCE THAT A MORE LIQUID MARKET WILL DEVELOP.
There is currently a limited trading market for our shares of Common Stock, under the symbol “GRAS.” Any market price for shares of our Common Stock is likely to be very volatile, and numerous factors beyond our control may have a significant adverse effect. In addition, the stock markets generally have experienced, and continue to experience, extreme price and volume fluctuations which have affected the market price of many small capital companies and which have often been unrelated to the operating performance of these companies. These broad market fluctuations, as well as general economic and political conditions, may also adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock. Further, there is no correlation between the present limited market price of our Common Stock and our revenues, book value, assets or other established criteria of value. The present limited quotations of our Common Stock should not be considered indicative of the actual value of the Company or our Common Stock.
FUTURE ISSUANCES OF OUR COMMON STOCK COULD PUT DOWNWARD SELLING PRESSURE ON OUR SHARES AND ADVERSELY AFFECT THE STOCK PRICE. THERE IS A RISK THAT THIS DOWNWARD PRESSURE MAY MAKE ITIMPOSSIBLE FOR AN INVESTOR TO SELL HIS SHARES AT ANY REASONABLE PRICE
Future issuances of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could put downward selling pressure on our shares, and adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Such sales could be made pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as shares become eligible for sale under the Rule.
Because our shares are deemed high risk “penny stocks,” you may have difficulty selling them in the secondary trading market. The Commission has adopted regulations which generally define a "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as therein defined) less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Additionally, if the equity security is not registered or authorized on a national securities exchange, the equity security also constitutes a "penny stock." As our common stock falls within the definition of penny stock, these regulations require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving our common stock, of a risk disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated with it. These regulations generally require broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited investors to deliver a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated with that market. Disclosure is also required to be made about compensation payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. These regulations also impose various sales practice requirements on broker-dealers. In addition, monthly statements are required to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stocks. The ability of broker/dealers to sell our common stock and the ability of shareholders to sell our common stock in the secondary market is limited. As a result, the market liquidity for our common stock is severely and adversely affected. We can provide no assurance that trading in our common stock will not be subject to these or other regulations in the future, which would negatively affect the market for our common stock.
IF A STEADY MARKET DEVLEOPS FOR OUR SECURITIES THERE COULD BE SIGNIFICANT VOLATILITY AND THE SECURITIES MAY NOT APPRECIATE IN VALUE
If a more steady market should develop for our securities, of which we have no assurance, the market price is likely to fluctuate significantly. Fluctuations could be rapid and severe and may provide investors little opportunity to react. Factors such as changes in results from our operations, and a variety of other factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, could cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially. Also, stock markets in penny stock shares tend to have extreme price and volume volatility. The market prices of shares of many smaller public companies securities are subject to volatility for reasons that frequently unrelated to the actual operating performance, earnings or other recognized measurements of value. This volatility may cause declines including very sudden and sharp declines in the market price of our common stock. We cannot assure investors that the stock price will appreciate in value, that a market will be available to resell your securities or that the shares will retain any value at all.
WE HAVE NEVER PAID DIVIDENDS ON OUR COMMON STOCK AND YOU MAY NEVER RECEIVE DIVIDENDS. THERE IS A RISK THAT AN INVESTOR IN OUR COMPANY WILL NEVER SEE A RETURN ON INVESTMENT AND THE STOCK MAY BECOME WORTHLESS.
We have never paid dividends on our common stock. We intend to retain earnings, if any, to finance the development and expansion of our business. Future dividend policy will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will be contingent upon future earnings, if any, our financial condition, capital requirements, general business conditions and other factors. Future dividends may also be affected by covenants contained in loan or other financing documents, which may be executed by us in the future. Therefore, there can be no assurance that cash dividends of any kind will ever be paid.
WE HAVE RAISED CAPITAL THROUGH THE USE OF CONVERTIBLE DEBT INSTRUMENTS THAT CAUSE SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS.
Because of the size of our Company and its status as a "penny stock" as well as the current economy and difficulties in companies our size finding adequate sources of funding, we have been forced to raise capital through the issuance of convertible notes and other debt instruments. These debt instruments carry favorable conversion terms to their holders of up to 65% discounts to the market price of our common stock on conversion and in most cases provide for the immediate sale of our securities into the open market. Accordingly, this has caused dilution to our stockholders and will continue to do so in 2015 and the foreseeable future. As of December 31, 2014, we had approximately $240,000 in convertible debt outstanding. This convertible debt balance as well as any additional convertible debt we incur in the future is very likely to cause substantial and sustained dilution to our current stockholders. We have effected two reverse stock splits over the past two years. We may need to effect further reverse splits of our common stock in the future due to significant increases in common shares outstanding as well as the trading market of our common stock to meet loan covenants for our lenders as well as to maintain minimum price levels for the effective trading lf our common stock.

The Company maintains office facilities provided by our Chief Financial Officer. During 2013 and 2014, there were no rents or other amounts paid for these facilities although that will not preclude the company from paying reasonable rental rates or reimbursement for use of these facilities in the future.
The Company leases its restaurant under certain leases with varied expiration dates. Certain leases provide for the payment of taxes and operating costs, such as insurance and maintenance in addition to the base rental payments.
Aggregate minimum annual rental payments under the non-cancelable operating leases are as follows:

Trading Market for Common Equity
There is currently a limited market for the Company's Common Stock, which is traded over-the-counter and quoted under the trading symbol “GRAS".
Future sales of our common stock could put downward selling pressure on our shares, and adversely affect the stock price. There is a risk that this downward pressure may make it impossible for an investor to sell his shares at any reasonable price.
The Company's Common Stock is not listed on any exchange; however, market quotes for the Company’s common stock may be obtained from the OTC Markets "Pink" platform (“OTCPink”). The OTCPink is a regulated quotation service that displays real-time quotes, last-sale prices and volume information in over-the-counter (“OTC”) securities. The following table sets forth, for the indicated fiscal periods, the high and low sales prices (as reported by the OTCPink) for the Company’s common stock. On October 31, 2013, we executed a 1 for 100 reverse split of our common stock. All per share prices have been adjusted to reflect this reverse split.
Trading in the common stock in the over-the-counter market has been limited and sporadic and the quotations set forth above are not necessarily indicative of actual market conditions. Further, these prices reflect inter-dealer prices without retail mark-up, mark-down, or commission, and may not necessarily reflect actual transactions.
Holders
The number of record holders of our common stock as of March 31, 2015, was 53 according to our transfer agent. This amount excludes an indeterminate number of shareholders whose shares are held in “street” or “nominee” name at a brokerage firm.
Dividends
We have never paid a cash dividend on our common stock. The payment of dividends may be made at the discretion of our Board of Directors, and will depend upon, among other things, our operations, capital requirements, and overall financial condition. There are no contractual restrictions on our ability to declare and pay dividends.
Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans
As of the date of this Report, we have not authorized any equity compensation plan, nor has our Board of Directors authorized the reservation or issuance of any securities under any equity compensation plan.
Transfer Agent
Our transfer agent is West Coast Stock Transfer, Inc. located at 2010 Hancock Avenue, Suite A, and San Diego, California 92110. Their telephone number is (619) 664-4780.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Equity Securities
During the three month period from October 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014 we issued 2,476,535 shares of our common stock upon the conversion of $48,011 in principal and interest on our various convertible notes and debentures, or $0.02 per share prior to any loss on conversions.
We offered and sold the securities in reliance on an exemption from federal registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder. We relied on this exemption and rule based on the fact that there were a limited number of investors, all of whom were accredited investors and (i) either alone or through a purchaser representative, had knowledge and experience in financial and business matters such that each was capable of evaluating the risks of the investment, and (ii) we had obtained subscription agreements from such investors indicating that they were purchasing for investment purposes only. The securities were not registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. The disclosure contained herein does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities of the Company, and is made only as permitted by Rule 135c under the Securities Act.

Overview
With the acquisition of the operation of Carmela’s Pizzeria in October 2013, our operations now consist of Carmela's Pizzeria’s, which presently has three Dayton, Ohio area locations offering authentic New York style pizza. Carmela's offers a full service menu for Dine In, Carry out and Delivery as well as pizza buffets in select stores. Carmela’s has been noted in Dayton Daily News as one of “The Best Pizzerias” in Dayton.
Effective with the acquisition, Carmela’s is treated as the continuing reporting entity that acquired the Company. The quarterly and annual reports filed after the transaction, beginning with this report, have been prepared as if Carmela’s (accounting acquirer) were the legal successor to the Company’s reporting obligation as of the date of the acquisition. Therefore, all financial statements filed subsequent to the transaction reflect the historical financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of Carmela’s for all periods prior to the share exchange; and consolidated with the Company from the date of the share Exchange. All share and per share amounts of Carmela’s have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the legal capital structure of the Company.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2014 AND 2013
We had a net loss of $1,041,117 for the year ended December 31, 2014 as compared to a loss of $520,850 for the year ended December 31, 2013. Our gross sales in 2014 were $1,603,488 with cost of goods sold of $1,345,423 for a gross profit of $258,065. This compared to gross revenues of $1,189,479 with cost of goods sold of $955,848 for a gross profit of $233,631 for the year ended December 31, 2013. Our sales in the 2014 period increased $414,009, or approximately 35% in 2014 versus 2013 primarily as a result of sales at the Brookville location. Our sales in the 2013 period decreased $150,181, or approximately 11% versus 2012 primarily as a result of Carmela’s relocating the Eaton store to Centerville and two months of lost sales associated with that relocation. Cost of goods sold increased by approximately 41% so the gross profit as a percentage of total sales decreased to 16% in 2014 from approximately 20% in 2013. This decrease is primarily the result of increased commodity prices including cheese and meat products.
Total operating expenses were $631,900 for the year ended December 31, 2014 versus $455,426 for the year ended December 31, 2013 resulting in loss from operations of $373,835 and $221,795 in the 2014 and 2013 periods, respectively. The single most significant factor for the increase in operating expenses was the consolidation of the operations of Carmela’s with that of the Company and the costs of operating a publicly traded entity. This included a roughly $62,000 increase in legal, accounting and professional fees that are primarily related to the public company operations There also was a significant increase in wages and taxes and other operating expenses in the 2014 period.
Other expenses were $667,282 for the year ended December 31, 2014 as compared to $299,055 for the year ended December 31, 2013. This increase is due to the addition of convertible promissory notes in the 2014 period including a full year of derivative liabilities associated with the convertible debt. Prior to the combination of Carmela’s and the Company, Carmela’s had no convertible debt therefore there was only convertible debt expense for the three months beginning October 1, 2013 in the year ended December 31, 2013. Loss on conversion of debt of $590,279 in 2014 versus 130,652 in the 2013 period was the single biggest expense, however, all of the derivative-based expenses were significantly higher in the 2014 period given there were four quarters of expense in 2014 versus only one quarter in 2013. This trend of higher expenses related to the convertible notes is expected to continue in 2015 as the company will continue to have considerable principal balances on convertible notes outstanding with a significant number of conversions to common stock.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
GENERAL. Overall, the Company had a net loss of $1,041,117 for the year ended December 31, 2014 as compared to $520,850 for the year ended December 31, 2013. During the year ended December 31, 2014, we had cash flow used by operations of $381,936, net cash used in investing activities of $4,481, and cash flows provided by financing activities of $441,238. At December 31, 2014, our cash balance was $59,843.
For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company had a net loss of $520,850 with cash flow used by operations of $117,545, net cash used in investing activities of $28,234, and cash flows provided by financing activities of $146,712. At December 31, 2013, our cash balance was $5,022.
CASH FLOWS FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES. Net cash flow used in operating activities was $381,936 which was primarily attributable to our net loss of $1,041,117, offset by non-cash adjustments to derivative liabilities totaling $701,156. The adjustments to reconcile the net loss to net cash for the period ended December 31, 2013 also included depreciation expense of $22,014 and changes in asset and liabilities of $(41,975).
CASH FLOWS FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIES. For the year ended December 31, 2014, cash flows used in investing activities was $4,481 from equipment purchases for our restaurant locations.
CASH FLOWS FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES. For the year ended December 31, 2014, cash flows from financing activities were $441,238 which consisted of proceeds from issuance of notes and convertible notes payable totaling $520,588 that was offset by payments to related parties of $299,685, nearly all of which is related to the operations of Carmela’s. The Company also issued $226,600 in new convertible notes payable in 2014, which accounted for a significant portion of the increase. The Company anticipates it will continue to issue convertible notes payable to funds its operation during 2015, which will result in continued and significant dilution to the Company’s current stockholders.
For the year ended December 31, 2013, we had cash used in operating activities of $117,545 including $18,093 in depreciation expense along with a total of $25,095 from changes in assets and liabilities with $305,117 in non-cash expense relating to derivative liabilities.
For the year ended December 31, 2013, cash flows used in investing activities was $28,234 primarily from $22,985 in equipment purchases for our restaurant locations.
Cash flows from financing activities provided $146,712 for the year ended December 31, 2013, primarily from proceeds from various notes payable from related parties totaling $173,882, that was offset by distribution payments to the members of COHP prior to the transaction between the Company and Carmela’s of $31,500 as well as payments on capital leases of $5,670.
EXTERNAL SOURCES OF LIQUIDITY. We intend to pursue all potential financing options in 2015 as we look to secure additional funds to both stabilize and grow our business operations and work on franchising efforts for Carmela’s. Our management will review any financing options at their disposal and will judge each potential source of funds on its individual merits. We cannot assure you that we will be able to secure additional funds from debt or equity financing, as and when we need to or if we can, that the terms of such financing will be favorable to us or our existing shareholders. Additionally, we will most likely need to rely on debt financing that is convertible into shares of our common stock that will result in continued and significant dilution to our stockholders due to the conversion of that debt at significant discounts to the market price of our common stock.
INFLATION. Our management believes that inflation has not had a material effect on our results of operations, and does not expect that it will in fiscal year 2015.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS. We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
ITEM 7A.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates and a decline in the stock market. We do not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes, however we do issue convertible notes that are subject to changes in the market price of our common stock for conversions to equity. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2014, we had $240,000 face value of convertible debentures bearing fixed interest rates of 8%-10%. All of this fixed rate debt is due on demand or within twelve months from issuance. We have limited exposure to market risks related to changes in interest rates. We do not currently invest in equity instruments of public or private companies for business or strategic purposes.

CEO and CFO Certifications
Attached to this annual report, as Exhibits 31.1 and 32.1, are certain certifications of the CEO and CFO, which are required in accordance with the Exchange Act and the Commission's rules implementing such section (the "Rule 13a- 14(a)/15d-14(a) Certifications"). This section of the annual report contains the information concerning the Evaluation referred to in the Rule 13a- 14(a)/15d-14(a) Certifications. This information should be read in conjunction with the Rule 13a- 14(a)/15d-14(a) Certifications for a more complete understanding of the topic presented.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
A review and evaluation was performed by the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer (the "CEO") who is also the Chief Financial Officer (the “CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on that review and evaluation, the CEO /CFO has concluded that as of December 31, 2014, disclosure controls and procedures, were not effective at ensuring that the material information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as required in the application of SEC rules and forms.
Management’s Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a set of processes designed by, or under the supervision of, a company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that:
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of our assets; Provide reasonable assurance our transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statement.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. It should be noted that any system of internal control, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system will be met. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our CEO/CFO has evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as described in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) as of the end of the period covered by this report based upon criteria established in “Internal Control-Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) to the extent possible given the limited personnel resources and technological infrastructure in place to perform the evaluation. Based upon our management’s discussions with our auditors and other advisors, our CEO/CFO believe that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective as described below.
Due to the small size and limited financial resources, we have inadequate segregation of duties within accounting functions and results in an overall lack of internal control. As a result, there is no segregation of duties in the accounting function, leaving all aspects of financial reporting and physical control of cash in the hands of one individual. This limited segregation of duties represents a material weakness. We will continue periodically review our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting and make modifications from time to time considered necessary or desirable.
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

Our Bylaws provide that we shall have that number of directors determined by the majority vote of the board of directors. Currently we have two directors.

Vacancies may be filled by a majority vote of the remaining directors then in office. Our directors and executive officers are as follows:
Audit committee financial expert
Identification of the audit committee
We do not have a separately designated standing audit committee. Pursuant to Section 3(a) (58) (B) of the Exchange Act, the entire Board of Directors acts as an audit committee for the purpose of overseeing the accounting and financial reporting processes, and audits of our financial statements. The Commission recently adopted new regulations relating to audit committee composition and functions, including disclosure requirements relating to the presence of an "audit committee financial expert" serving on its audit committee. In connection with these new requirements, our Board of Directors examined the Commission's definition of "audit committee financial expert" and concluded that we do not currently have a person that qualifies as such an expert. We have had minimal operations for the past two (2) years. We believe our current director would meet the qualifications of an "audit committee financial expert" were he not an officer of the Company.
Code of Ethics
We have adopted a code of ethic (the "Code of Ethics") that applies to our principal chief executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. The Code of Ethics is being designed with the intent to deter wrongdoing, and to promote the following:
·
Honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships
·
Full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that a small business issuer files with, or submits to, the Commission and in other public communications made by the small business issuer
·
Compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations
·
The prompt internal reporting of violations of the code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the code
·
Accountability for adherence to the code

ITEM 12.
ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCK HOLDER MATTERS
Security ownership of certain beneficial owners.
Security ownership of management.
The following table contains certain information as of May 18, 2015 as to the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by (i) each person known by the Company to own beneficially more than 5% of the Company’s Common Stock, (ii) each person who is a Director of the Company, (iii) all persons as a group who are Directors and Officers of the Company, and as to the percentage of the outstanding shares held by them on such dates and as adjusted to give effect to this Offering. We effected a 1 for 300 reverse stock split effective on February 20, 2015 through which 1,478,720,693 shares of our common stock became 4,939,120 shares post-split. All share amounts below represent post-split shares of common stock and warrants.
________________
(1)
As of May 18, 2015, 18,948,923 shares of our common stock were outstanding. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC, and includes general voting power and/or investment power with respect to securities. Shares of common stock subject to options or warrants currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of the record date are deemed outstanding for computing the beneficial ownership percentage of the person holding such options or warrants but are not deemed outstanding for computing the beneficial ownership percentage of any other person. Except as indicated by footnote, the persons named in the table above have the sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock shown as beneficially owned by them.
(2)
In March 2011, the Company authorized the issuance of up to 333 shares of $0.001 par value Series A Convertible Voting Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred") of which there were 96,623 shares outstanding as of December 31, 2013. Each share of Series A Preferred is convertible into .23 shares of common stock. If all shares of Series A Preferred were to be converted to shares of common stock as of March 31, 2015, a total of 22,223 shares would be issued to the holders of the Series B Preferred including 16,265 that would be beneficially owned by Mr. Fong through his wife. The Series A Preferred also carries voting rights on an "as if converted" basis.
Effective September 22, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the issuance of 1,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock to Mr. Ronald Heineman, which provide him the right to vote up to 51% of the total voting shares able to vote on any and all shareholder matters.
(3)
Includes warrants exercisable until October 2018 at the following exercise prices: 28,482 at $4.50; 28,482 at $0.02; and 28,482 at $0.025.
(4)
Includes 24,883,823 shares held by a trust owned by Mr. Heineman’s spouse.
(5)
Includes 70,715 shares of Series A Preferred Stock owned by a company controlled by Mr. Fong's spouse.
The directors, executive officers, their affiliates, and related parties own, directly or indirectly, beneficially and in the aggregate, the majority of the voting power of the outstanding capital of the Company. Accordingly, directors, executive officers and their affiliates, if they voted their shares uniformly, would have the ability to control the approval of most corporate actions, including approving significant expenses, increasing the authorized capital and the dissolution, merger or sale of the Company's assets.
Changes in control
The shares issued in the acquisition of Carmela’s resulted in a change-in-control of the Company in October 2013. Effective September 22, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the issuance of 1,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock to Mr. Ronald Heineman, which provide him the right to vote up to 51% of the total voting shares able to vote on any and all shareholder matters; thereby giving him effective control of the Company. We are currently not aware of any other arrangements that could result in a change in control of the Company.
ITEM 13.
ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.
Transactions with Related Persons
Entities controlled by the members have loaned monies to COHP for working capital purposes. The loans are non-interest bearing and have no specific terms of repayment. A related party loan from KB Air is secured by all the assets of the Company.
The activity for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 for all loans from officers of the Company and other related parties is as follows:
Review, approval or ratification of transactions with related persons
Our entire board of directors is responsible for the review, approval or ratification of transactions with related persons. The board routinely reviews material related party transactions to ensure such transactions are reasonable, appropriate, and in the best interests of the Corporation. We have no written policies with respect to the review and approval of related party transactions and records of such reviews are contained in the minutes and/or reports of the board of directors as appropriate.
Director Independence
Our board of directors has two directors and has no standing sub-committees at this time due to the associated expenses and the small size of our board. We are not currently listed on a national securities exchange that has requirements that a majority of the board of directors be independent and have no members of our board considered “independent” under the definition set forth in the listing standards of the NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc., which is the definition that our board has chosen to use for the purposes of the determining independence.
In performing the functions of the audit committee, our board oversees our accounting and financial reporting process. In this function, our board performs several functions. Our board, among other duties, evaluates and assesses the qualifications of the Company’s independent auditors; determines whether to retain or terminate the existing independent auditors; meets with the independent auditors and financial management of the Company to review the scope of the proposed audit and audit procedures on an annual basis; reviews and approves the retention of independent auditors for any non-audit services; reviews the independence of the independent auditors; reviews with the independent auditors and with the Company’s financial accounting personnel the adequacy and effectiveness of accounting and financial controls and considers recommendations for improvement of such controls; reviews the financial statements to be included in our annual and quarterly reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission; and discusses with the Company’s management and the independent auditors the results of the annual audit and the results of our quarterly financial statements.
We do not currently have a standing compensation committee or non-employee directors. When we have non-employee directors on our board, those non-employee directors consider executive officer compensation, and our entire board participates in the consideration of director compensation. Non-employee board members would oversee would compensation policies, plans and programs. Our non-employee board members would further review and approve corporate performance goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of our executive officers; review the compensation and other terms of employment of our Chief Executive Officer and our other executive officers; and administer our equity incentive and stock option plans.
Each of our directors participates in the consideration of director nominees. In addition to nominees recommended by directors, our board will consider nominees recommended by shareholders if submitted in writing to our secretary. Our board believes that any candidate for director, whether recommended by shareholders or by the board, should be considered on the basis of all factors relevant to our needs and the credentials of the candidate at the time the candidate is proposed. Such factors include relevant business and industry experience and demonstrated character and judgment.
ITEM 14.
ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES
Fees Billed For Audit and Non-Audit Services
The following table represents the aggregate fees billed for professional audit services rendered to the independent auditor, Silberstein Ungar, PLLC for our audit of the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 and for our current auditor KLJ & Associates, LLP for the year ended December 31, 2014. Audit fees and other fees of auditors are listed as follows:
__________________
(1)
Audit Fees. These are fees for professional services for the audit of our annual financial statements, and for services that are normally provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements including review of our quarterly financial statements.
(2)
The amounts shown in 2013 and 2014 relate to (i) the audit of our annual financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2014 and (ii) reviews of our quarterly financial statements. For the year ended December 31, 2014, $2,600 of the audit fees were paid to Silberstein Ungar, PLLC for their review of the Company’s first quarter financial statements prior to their resignation as the Company’s auditor.
(3)
Audit-Related Fees. These are fees for the assurance and related services reasonably related to the performance of the audit or the review of our financial statements.
(4)
Tax Fees. These are fees for professional services with respect to tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning.
(5)
All Other Fees. These are fees for permissible work that does not fall within any of the other fee categories, i.e., Audit Fees, Audit-Related Fees, or Tax Fees.
Pre-Approval Policy for Audit and Non-Audit Services
We do not have a standing audit committee, and the full Board performs all functions of an audit committee, including the pre-approval of all audit and non-audit services before we engage an accountant. All of the services rendered to us by KLJ & Associates, LLP and Silberstein Ungar, PLLC were pre-approved by our Board of Directors.
The new policies and procedures will be detailed as to the particular service, will require that the Board or an audit committee thereof be informed of each service, and will prohibit the delegation of pre-approval responsibilities to management. It is currently anticipated that our new policy will provide (i) for an annual pre-approval, by the Board or audit committee, of all audit, audit-related and non-audit services proposed to be rendered by the independent auditor for the fiscal year, as specifically described in the auditor's engagement letter, and (ii) that additional engagements of the auditor, which were not approved in the annual pre-approval process, and engagements that are anticipated to exceed previously approved thresholds, will be presented on a case-by-case basis, by the President or Controller, for pre-approval by the Board or audit committee, before management engages the auditors for any such purposes. The new policy and procedures may authorize the Board or audit committee to delegate, to one or more of its members, the authority to pre-approve certain permitted services, provided that the estimated fee for any such service does not exceed a specified dollar amount (to be determined). All pre-approvals shall be contingent on a finding, by the Board, audit committee, or delegate, as the case may be, that the provision of the proposed services is compatible with the maintenance of the auditor's independence in the conduct of its auditing functions. In no event shall any non-audit related service be approved that would result in the independent auditor no longer being considered independent under the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Index to Consolidated Financial Statements
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Greenfield Farms Food, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Greenfield Farms Food, Inc. as of December 31, 2014 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year then ended. Greenfield Farms Food, Inc.’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. 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 consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Greenfield Farms Food, Inc. as of December 31, 2014, the results of their operations, and their cash flows, for the year ended December 31, 2014, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As discussed in Note (12) to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred losses from operations, has negative working capital and is in need of additional capital to grow its operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note (12). The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

West Palm Beach, Florida
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Greenfield Farms Food, Inc.

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred losses from operations, has negative working capital, and is in need of additional capital in order to grow its operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans with regard to these matters are described in Note 12. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

DECEMBER 31, 2014
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS
Greenfield Farms Food, Inc. (“GRAS” or the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on June 2, 2008. In October 2013, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with COHP, LLC (”COHP”) through which the Company acquired certain of the assets and liabilities of COHP including the operations of Carmela’s Pizzeria (“Carmela’s”) through a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary Carmela’s Pizzeria CO, Inc. COHP, LLC was formed on May 1, 2011, under the laws of the State of Ohio.
Carmela's Pizzeria presently has four Dayton, Ohio area locations offering authentic New York style pizza. Carmela's offers a full service menu for Dine In, Carry out and Delivery as well as pizza buffets in select stores.
The Carmela’s Pizzeria assets and liabilities were acquired in exchange for 1,000 shares of the Company’s Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series C”) that converted on October 31, 2013 into 179,887 shares of the Company’s common stock upon the effective date of a 1 for 100 reverse split.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 include the accounts of the Company and Carmela’s. The consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2013 include the accounts of Carmela’s for the full year and the Company from October 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013. All of the intercompany accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.
For SEC reporting purposes, Carmela’s is treated as the continuing reporting entity that acquired GRAS. The reports filed after the transaction have been prepared as if Carmela’s (accounting acquirer) were the legal successor to the Company’s reporting obligation as of the date of the acquisition. Therefore, all financial statements filed subsequent to the transaction reflect the historical financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of Carmela’s for all periods prior to the share exchange; and consolidated with the Company from the date of the share Exchange. All share and per share amounts of Carmela’s have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the legal capital structure of the Company pursuant to FASB ASC 805-40-45-1.
Effective February 20, 2015, the Company effected a 1 for 300 reverse split of its common stock whereby the 1,478,720,693 pre-split shares of common stock outstanding became 4,929,120 shares post-split. There was no change in authorized shares of the Company. Since the reverse stock split occurred following December 31, 2014, but prior to the issuance of these financial statements, the number of shares outstanding, share issuance information and per share information for all prior periods presented have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the new capital structure.
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are presented in US dollars.
Accounting Basis
The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP” accounting). The Company has adopted a December 31 fiscal year end.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The estimated fair value of financial instruments has been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate methodologies; however, considerable judgment is required in interpreting information necessary to develop these estimates. Accordingly, the Company’s estimates of fair values are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange.
The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, current non-related party accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate their carrying amounts because of the short maturities of these instruments.
The fair values of notes and advances receivable from non-related parties approximate their net carrying values because of the allowances recorded as well as the short maturities of these instruments.
The fair values of notes and loans payable to non-related parties approximate their carrying values because of the short maturities of these instruments. The fair value of long-term debt to non-related parties approximates carrying values, net of discounts applied, based on market rates currently available to the Company.
Fair value measurements are determined under a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value, distinguishing between market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (“observable inputs”) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (“unobservable inputs”).
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or would be paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company primarily uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets (“market approach”). The Company also considers the impact of a significant decrease in volume and level of activity for an asset or liability when compared with normal activity to identify transactions that are not orderly.
The highest priority is given to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Securities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The three hierarchy levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets that is unadjusted and accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2 - Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly;
Level 3 - Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
The Company has determined that its derivative liabilities fall under Level 2. Derivative liabilities measured at fair value were $266,162 and $251,137 at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Credit risk adjustments are applied to reflect the Company’s own credit risk when valuing all liabilities measured at fair value. The methodology is consistent with that applied in developing counterparty credit risk adjustments, but incorporates the Company’s own credit risk as observed in the credit default swap market.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers highly liquid financial instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents at either December 31, 2014 or 2013.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the three to five year estimated useful lives of the assets.
Revenue Recognition
The Company records revenue when all of the following have occurred: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) the product/service is delivered, (3) the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and (4) collectability of the related customer receivable is reasonably assured. There is no stated right of return for products/services.
Reclassifications
Certain accounts and financial statement captions in the prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period financial statements.
Income Taxes
The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect, when the differences are expected to reverse. An allowance against deferred tax assets is recognized, when it is more likely than not, that such tax benefits will not be realized.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation is accounted for at fair value in accordance with ASC 718. To date, the Company has not adopted a stock option plan and has not granted any stock options. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had not issued any stock-based payments to its employees.
Basic Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013 there were warrants outstanding to purchase 179,886 shares of common stock.

Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company follows ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging, Contracts in Entity’s own Equity. The Company’s convertible debt has conversion provisions based on a discount of the market price of the Company’s common stock.
The Company had derivative liabilities resulting from the issuance of convertible debt, which were measured at fair value on a recurring basis using an option pricing model. Consequently, the Company adjusted the fair value of the derivative liabilities at both December 31, 2014 and 2013 and recorded a loss related to the change in the value of the derivative liability of $489,590 and $51,179 in the statement of operations for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, that were attributable to the change in unrealized gains or losses relating to the derivative liabilities still held at the reporting date for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.
Dividends
The Company has not adopted any policy regarding payment of dividends. No dividends have been paid during any of the periods shown.
Advertising Costs
The Company’s policy regarding advertising is to expense advertising when incurred. The Company incurred advertising expense of $19,386 and $49,323 during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate carrying amounts of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances are present, the Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the total of the future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of those assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on our present or future consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 8 - DERIVATIVE LIABILITY
The Company has determined that the conversion features of certain of its convertible notes represent an embedded derivative since the notes are convertible into a variable number of shares upon conversion. Accordingly, they are not considered to be conventional debt under EITF 00-19 and the embedded conversion feature must be bifurcated from the debt host and accounted for as a derivative liability. The fair value of this derivative instrument has been recorded as a liability on the balance sheet with the corresponding amount recorded as a discount to the notes. Such discount will be accreted from the commencing date of conversion period to the maturity date of the notes. The change in the fair value of the derivative liability will be recorded in other income or expenses in the statement of operations at the end of each period, with the offset to the derivative liability on the balance sheet.

The Series A shares have immediate voting rights equivalent to 7,000 shares of common stock for each Series A share and may be converted after a minimum one-year hold at the same rate. This gives effective control of the Company to the holders of the Series A preferred shares.

Accordingly, the Series C preferred was converted into 179,887 shares of the Company’s common stock on October 31, 2013.
Effective September 22, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the issuance of 1,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock to Mr. Ronald Heineman, our Chief Executive Officer, in consideration for services rendered to the Company and continuing to work for the Company without receiving significant payment for services and without the Company having the ability to issue shares of common stock as the Company did not have sufficient authorized but unissued shares of common stock to allow for any such issuances. As a result of the issuance of the Series D Preferred Stock shares, Mr. Heineman obtained voting rights over the Company’s outstanding voting stock on September 24, 2014, which provide him the right to vote up to 51% of the total voting shares able to vote on any and all shareholder matters. As a result, Mr. Heineman will exercise majority control in determining the outcome of all corporate transactions or other matters, including the election of Directors, mergers, consolidations, the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and also the power to prevent or cause a change in control. The interests of Mr. Heineman may differ from the interests of the other stockholders and thus result in corporate decisions that are adverse to other shareholders. Additionally, it may be impossible for shareholders to remove Mr. Heineman as an officer or Director of the Company due to the Super Majority Voting Rights. In the event Mr. Heineman is no longer acting as Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, the shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall automatically, without any action on the part of any party, or the Corporation, be deemed cancelled in their entirety.

NOTE 11 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
As more fully disclosed in Note 5 - Notes Payable Related Parties, certain officers, directors and stockholders have loaned the Company funds from time-to-time. Information regarding these loans can be found in Note 6.
NOTE 12 - GOING CONCERN
The financial statements 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 has not yet realized significant revenues from operations, recognized significant losses in 2014 and 2013, and is in need of working capital in order to grow its operations. This raises 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 to obtain 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 from directors and or private placements of common stock and by obtaining extended payment terms from certain vendors.
