NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 31, 2023 AND 2022
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results and operations and cash flows at January 31, 2023 and for all periods presented herein, have been made.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s April 30, 2022 audited financial statements filed on Form 10K on July 29, 2022. The results of operations for the periods ended January 31, 2023 and 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full years.
NOTE 2 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The
Company was incorporated in
On
October 31, 2011 (the “Closing Date”), China Advanced acquired Goliath Film and Media International, a California corporation,
by issuing shares of its Common Stock, constituting % of the outstanding shares after giving effect to their issuance
and the cancellation of shares held by China Advanced Technology’s prior control person. Immediately following the Closing,
shares were issued and outstanding. On the Closing Date, the name of China Advanced Technology was changed to Goliath Film
and Media Holdings (“Goliath” or “the Company”). All share numbers herein have been adjusted for an
Organization, Nature of Business and Trade Name
The Company is engaged in the production and distribution of motion pictures and television content. The Company has previously realized revenues from its planned principal business purpose however these revenues are declining with no revenues presently being anticipated. For the three and nine months ended January 31, 2023 and 2022, we had no revenues.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements includes the accounts of Goliath Film and Media Holdings and its subsidiary, Goliath Film and Media International (“Goliath” or “the Company”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in 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 and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. A change in managements’ estimates or assumptions could have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations during the period in which such changes occurred.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s financial statements reflect all adjustments that management believes are necessary for the fair presentation of their financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented.
| 8 |
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable, if any, are carried at the expected net realizable value. The allowance for doubtful accounts, when determined, will be based on management’s assessment of the collectability of specific customer accounts and the aging of the accounts receivable. If there were a deterioration of a major customer’s creditworthiness, or actual defaults were higher than historical experience, our estimates of the recoverability of the amounts due to us could be overstated, which could have a negative impact on operations.
The Company currently does not have any accounts receivable. The above accounting policies will be adopted upon the Company carrying accounts receivable.
Films Costs
The Company capitalizes production costs for films produced in accordance with ASC 926-20, “Entertainment-Films - Other Assets - Film Costs”. Accordingly, production costs are capitalized at actual cost and then charged against revenue quarterly as a cost of production based on the relative fair value of the film(s) delivered and recognized as revenue. The Company evaluates its capitalized production costs annually and limits recorded amounts by its ability to recover such costs through expected future sales. As of January 31, 2023, the Company had no production costs.
Revenue Recognition
On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification ASC 606 (“ASC 606”), Revenue from Contracts with Customers, using the modified retrospective approach for all contracts not completed as of the date of adoption.
The Company generates all of its revenue from contracts with customers. The Company recognizes revenue when we satisfy a performance obligation by transferring control of the promised services to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for those services. The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:
| 1. | Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer. | |
| 2. | Identification of the performance obligations in the contract. | |
| 3. | Determination of the transaction price. | |
| 4. | Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract | |
| 5. | Recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation. |
At contract inception, the Company assesses the services promised in our contracts with customers and identifies a performance obligation for each promise to transfer to the customer a service (or bundle of services) that is distinct. To identify the performance obligations, the Company considers all of the services promised in the contract regardless of whether they are explicitly stated or are implied by customary business practices. The Company allocates the transaction prices to the performance obligations.
The Company provides for an allowance for doubtful accounts based on history and experience considering economic and industry trends. The Company does not have any off-Balance Sheet exposure related to its customers.
The Company recognizes revenue when the distributor confirms to the Company that the film has been delivered to the distributor with all technical and document deliveries received, waived or deferred and the film has been entered into the distributor’s rights system.
The Company evaluates whether it is appropriate to record the gross amount of product sales and related costs or the net amount earned as commissions. Generally, when the Company is primarily obligated in a transaction, are subject to inventory risk, have latitude in establishing prices and selecting suppliers, or have several but not all of these indicators, revenue is recorded at the gross sale price. The Company generally records the net amounts as commissions earned if we are not primarily obligated and do not have latitude in establishing prices. The Company recognizes revenue from the distribution of its films on a net revenue basis as Mar Vista distributes the films to Mar Vista’s end customers.

For the three and nine months ended January 31, 2023 and 2022, we had revenues.
Advertising
Advertising
expenses are recorded as general and administrative expenses when they are incurred. There was
Research and Development
All
research and development costs are expensed as incurred. There was
Income tax
We account for income taxes under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Under ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 820. This Topic defines fair value, establishes a measurement framework and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
The Company uses fair value measurements for determining the valuation of derivative financial instruments payable in shares of its common stock. This primarily involves option pricing models that incorporate certain assumptions and projections to determine fair value. These require management’s judgment.
Fair Value Measurements
FASB ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, requires disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in quarterly reports as well as in annual reports. For the Company, this statement applies to certain investments and long-term debt. Also, the FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, clarifies the definition of fair value for financial reporting, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about the use of fair value measurements.
Various inputs are considered when determining the value of the Company’s investments and long-term debt. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these securities. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
● Level 1 – observable market inputs that are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
● Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, credit risk, etc.).
● Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Company’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
The Company’s adoption of FASB ASC Topic 825 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
The carrying value of financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value is measured on a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Financial assets and liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis are those that are adjusted to fair value when a significant event occurs. The Company had no financial assets or liabilities carried and measured on a nonrecurring basis during the reporting periods. Financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis are those that are adjusted to fair value each time a financial statement is prepared. The Company had no financial assets and/or liabilities carried at fair value on a recurring basis at January 31, 2023, assets and liabilities approximate fair value due to their short term nature.
| 10 |
The
availability of inputs observable in the market varies from instrument to instrument and depends on a variety of factors including the
type of instrument, whether the instrument is actively traded, and other characteristics particular to the transaction. For many financial
instruments, pricing inputs are readily observable in the market, the valuation methodology used is widely accepted by market participants,
and the valuation does not require significant management discretion. For other financial instruments, pricing inputs are less observable
in the market and may require management judgment. As of January 31, 2023, the Company had less than $
Diluted earnings (loss) per share are computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares (including common stock subject to redemption) plus dilutive potential common shares outstanding for the reporting period. In periods where losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common stock outstanding excludes common stock equivalents, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
The total number of potential additional dilutive securities outstanding for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2023 and 2022 was .
Concentrations, Risks, and Uncertainties
The Company has not entered into any contracts that obligate it to purchase a minimum quantity or exclusively from any supplier.
In accordance with ASC No. 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), we measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share-based compensation arrangements include stock options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at their fair value. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant. We apply this statement prospectively. Equity instruments (“instruments”) issued to other than employees are recorded on the basis of the fair value of the instruments, as required by ASC 718. ASC No. 505, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees (“ASC 505”) defines the measurement date and recognition period for such instruments. In general, the measurement date is (a) when a performance commitment, as defined, is reached or (b) when the earlier of (i) the non-employee performance is complete or (ii) the instruments are vested. The measured value related to the instruments is recognized over a period based on the facts and circumstances of each particular grant as defined in ASC 505.
Recently Enacted Accounting Standards
The Company does not expect the adoption of any recent accounting pronouncements to have a material impact on its financial statements.
NOTE 3 – COMMON STOCK
The Company has authorized shares of preferred stock, $ par value, with such rights, preferences and designation and to be issued in such series as determined by the Board of Directors. shares of preferred stock are issued and outstanding at January 31, 2023 and April 30, 2022.

common shares to three shareholders (a total of

to a third party) recorded as common stock to be issued on the balance sheet in the amount of $
| 11 |
NOTE 4 - GOING CONCERN
Under the going concern assumption, an entity is ordinarily viewed as continuing in business for the foreseeable future with neither the intention nor the necessity of liquidation, ceasing trading, or seeking protection from creditors pursuant to laws or regulations. Accordingly, assets and liabilities are recorded on the basis that the entity will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plan described in the preceding paragraph and eventually attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
During the next year, the Company’s foreseeable cash requirements will relate to continual development of the operations of its business, maintaining its good standing and making the requisite filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company may experience a cash shortfall and be required to raise additional capital.
Historically, the Company has relied upon internally generated funds and funds from the sale of shares of stock, related party advances, and related parties paying expenses on behalf of the Company to finance its operations and growth. Management may raise additional capital through future public or private offerings of the Company’s stock or through loans from private investors, although there can be no assurance that it will be able to obtain such financing. The Company’s failure to do so could have a material and adverse effect upon its and its shareholders.
In the past year, the Company funded operations through contributions from officers and affiliates of the Company. For the coming year, the Company plans to continue to fund the Company through debt and securities sales and issuances, focus on a possible joint venture or merger until the company generates revenues through the operations of such merged company or joint venture as stated above.

Forward Looking Statement Notice
Certain statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are “forward-looking statements” (within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) regarding the plans and objectives of management for future operations. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, performance or achievements of Goliath Film and Media Holdings, (“we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company”) to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements included herein are based on current expectations that involve numerous risks and uncertainties. The Company’s plans and objectives are based, in part, on assumptions involving the continued expansion of business. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond the control of the Company. Although the Company believes its assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could prove inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance the forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report will prove to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any other person that the objectives and plans of the Company will be achieved.
Description of Business
Background.
The Company was incorporated in Nevada on February 16, 2010 under the name “China Advanced Technology” as the successor by merger to Vitalcare Diabetes Treatment Centers, Inc. (“Vitalcare”). In February and March 2010, Vitalcare underwent a holding company reorganization under Delaware law, pursuant to which it became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vitalcare Holding Corporation, and Vitalcare, together with its assets and liabilities, was sold to a non-affiliated third party. Vitalcare Holding Corporation subsequently reincorporated in Nevada by merger into China Advanced.
Vitalcare was in the business of administering medical clinics specializing in diabetes treatment. It was the successor to Network Financial Services, Inc. (“Network”), which went public in an underwritten offering in 1987. Network was engaged in mortgage origination, and changed its name to Westmark Group Holdings (“Westmark”) in 1993 in connection with the acquisition of Westmark Mortgage from Primark Corporation. Westmark ceased operations at some time in 2006, and in 2006 ceased filing reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The corporate entity was thereafter known as Viking Consolidated, Inc. (2006), Tailor Aquaponics World Wide, Inc. (2007) and Diversified Acquisitions (2007) until it entered the medical clinic business in early 2008. The Company has no information regarding any business activities from 2006 after the mortgage origination business closed, to early 2008.
On October 25, 2011, Goliath Film and Media International, a Nevada corporation, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Exchange Agreement”), pursuant to which Goliath Film and Media International was acquired by China Advanced Technology. Prior to the acquisition, our principal operations consisted of internet marketing, and were conducted through a wholly owned subsidiary, Live Wise, Inc. Live Wise was disposed of on October 31, 2011 for cancellation of debt and shares described below. At the Closing Date, there were no assets or liabilities on China Advanced Technology’s balance sheets.
The transaction closed on October 31, 2011 (the “Closing Date”). On the Closing Date China Advanced Technology acquired Goliath Film and Media International by issuing 47,000,000 shares of its Common Stock, constituting 70.1% of the outstanding shares after giving effect to their issuance and the cancellation of 15,619,816 shares held by China Advanced Technology’s prior control person. Immediately following the Closing, 67,100,000 shares were issued and outstanding. On the Closing Date, the name of China Advanced Technology was changed to Goliath Film and Media Holdings. All share numbers herein have been adjusted for an eight-for-1 forward stock split affected as of the Closing Date. The forward stock split was reflected in the trading market on February 13, 2012.

Overview.
Goliath Film and Media Holdings, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries Goliath Film and Media International and Goliath Movie Partners 1, LLC (collectively, “Goliath” or the “Company”), develops, produces and licenses for distribution, domestically and internationally, quality digital content with an emphasis on “niche” markets of the feature motion picture and television content segments of the entertainment industry, such as, without limitation, education, faith-based, horror and socially responsible minority content. Goliath does not intend to engage in domestic theatrical distribution of motion pictures to any significant extent.
In qualified cases, Goliath will develop screenplays that will be outsourced to an independent entity for production, but will be licensed for distribution through the Company. Also, in certain cases Goliath will produce content that is tied to working with an established distributor that provides an advance or minimum guarantee for the production of a project that will be licensed by the participating distributor. Goliath plans to produce content and to distribute domestically and internationally, through a wide distribution network which includes major international theatrical exhibitors, and other distributors and television networks. We plan to utilize corporate sponsorships as a means of reducing the costs of advertising and marketing in distribution. Further, we may augment our marketing efforts with a limited and strategically focused advertising campaign in traditional “print” media with press releases targeted specifically toward standard entertainment industry trade journals and publications on an “as needed” basis as well as the inclusion of targeted “social media” campaigns.
Goliath’s revenue model includes receiving revenue from distribution fees. A limited number of its content properties include projects developed and produced by Goliath and those produced by an independent third party production companies.
Production Agreements
On March 4, 2016, we signed a distribution agreement with Mar Vista Entertainment, LLC (“Mar Vista”) to distribute a feature length motion picture currently completed. Per the agreement, we received $125,000 in advance payments per an agreed delivery schedule for providing distribution rights on the motion picture “Bridal Bootcamp” a romantic comedy movie produced by Goliath for delivery to Mar Vista for distribution. Additionally, Mar Vista will receive 35% of the gross proceeds for a period of 25 years on the motion picture. As of October 31, 2016, the Company has received $125,000 of the advance payments. Bridal Boot Camp was completed in October 2016 resulting in the recognition of the advance payments as revenue of $125,000 in October 2016. Mar Vista is distributing this film. The Company had no revenue for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
On September 18, 2015, we signed a distribution agreement with Mar Vista to distribute a feature length motion picture currently completed.

Questions and Answers
What is your business?
We develop, produce and distribute motion pictures and digital content. At this time, we do not intend to engage in theatrical releases of motion pictures, due to the high up-front costs of advertising and marketing theatrically. However, in some specific cases the company will consider theatrical releases based upon a “four wall”, limited release delivery that will be focused on targeted niche audiences.
What is the timeline for your activities during the next 12 months?
Over the next 90 days to one year, our efforts will be concentrated on developing and producing content with distributors for licensing by them of at least three projects.
What is this going to cost you?
We expect that producing the aforementioned content will cost approximately $150,000 per project, however licensing and distribution will be handled by an experienced distributor for a fee of anywhere from 30 – 35% and the costs of advertising and marketing will be handled by them and charged against gross distribution licensing proceeds.
Why are these motion pictures not being distributed already?
The motion pictures that are being produced by the Company and distributed by Mar Vista take anywhere from six to nine months from completion of production and delivery to obtain licensing agreements.
Generally, the main reason why good, quality motion pictures are not distributed is that the production of a motion picture requires money and creativity, and marketing a motion picture requires an entirely different set of skills. Many people dream of making a movie; few aspire to distribute them. We estimate that there are in excess of 10,000 such motion pictures “gathering dust.” There also have been and continue to be substantial tax incentives for motion picture production in many States and international Territories, so that many producers do not need to depend on successful marketing in order to find investors for their projects. A secondary factor is the difficulty of finding a reputable distributor. We think that our management has an excellent reputation in the industry and we will be able to obtain distribution rights for content. Finally, many distributors as well as buyers do not have an interest in niche market films, because they see the market as limited. Goliath sees the problem to be, rather, there is no market merely because no one has assembled a critical mass of films for these niches. Most participants in the motion picture industry are based in “Hollywood” and the major coastal metropolitan areas. As an example, our “faith-based” films especially are targeted toward the “Bible Belt” and the “Flyover Country”: places that the industry has consistently overlooked.
Why are you able to identify and acquire these motion pictures and educational videos?
After attending all the major content acquisition markets around the world over the last three years, our Staff has developed relationships with numerous quality filmmakers who need assistance in marketing and distributing their product. Goliath has also developed vital relationships with many of the major content buyers, distributors, networks and sales agents. Many of the filmmakers have requested the Company’s assistance in marketing and distributing their product. Goliath will continue to pursue the marketing and distribution of product that is demanded in the marketplace and desired by major aggregators, distributors, networks and studios.
So how are you different than Amazon, Netflix, and Hulu, to name a few? How can you compete with them? They have a lot of money and name recognition. Why wouldn’t they jump into your niches?
As a content provider we are not competing with these entities but rather are working on providing them with quality content. As an example, NETFLIX using its “streaming platform” has such a high demand for programming content, they are spending in excess of $17 billion this year for the acquisition of completed programming as well as for the development of original content by them. Therefore, as is mentioned, part of their resources are directed toward acquiring content and part is targeting “in-house” and joint venture productions of quality content. This content will be targeted to their subscription base on a domestic and international level.
| 16 |
There are a number of quality content producers that work with the major networks and content distributors, Goliath is moving toward becoming one of these content providers. We believe there exists significant opportunities for our company in that the demand for programming is increasing almost exponentially. Irrespective of the platform for viewing by the consumer/subscriber, the demand for quality content is continuing to expand. The upward trend is ongoing, which is where we see an opportunity for Goliath to provide product to reach many components of the overall market.
Don’t cable and satellite networks already offer specialty channels like TBN (for faith based) and BET (Black Entertainment Television (for the African-American Community)?
As mentioned above about NETFLIX, even though these channels maybe in niche markets they must expand the type, genre and format of the content that they are showing in order to remain viable, therefore the opportunity to assist them by providing quality programming is ongoing and expanding.
What other niches are you looking at entering?
We believe that there is an increasing and ongoing trend in home entertainment in servicing niches. Many viewers have cable or satellite service with hundreds of channels, but view only a few channels that cater to their particular interests. The significant type of niche we are targeting are the numerous immigrant groups in the United States. Other than Spanish speaking immigrants, coverage is scarce.
There are many interest groups that might be interested in specialty movies or programming. As an example, in Hawaii and Southern California, for instance, surfing is quite popular, and there exists a huge body of surfing films which would be of interest.
What about ancillary markets?
We plan to incorporate advertising and marketing through social media and traditional outlets to the highest degree possible.
How do these distribution rights work?
We enter into a Distribution Agreement for each motion picture. Terms may be perpetual or limited by years. The motion pictures that we are acquiring will have a term of five years. We will generally obtain a fee of 20% to 30% of gross revenues. Licensing will be flexible for usage applications on a yearly or multi-year basis. Most markets, especially foreign territories have a tendency to continuously renew content licensing.
How many employees do you have? Do you have an office?
We have no employees. Our administrative office is in Carson City, Nevada.
Do you have a website?
Our website is www.goliathfilmandmediainternational.com. We have a mirror site at www.goliathfilmandmedia.com
