NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JULY 31, 2021
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
GPO Plus, Inc. (the “Company”) is a corporation originally established under the name of Koldeck, Inc. under the corporation laws in the State of Nevada on March 29, 2016. The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties including failure to secure additional funding to properly execute the Company’s business plan.
On April 2, 2018, the Company approved an agreement and plan of merger for the purposes of changing our corporate name from Koldeck Inc. to Global House Holdings Ltd. Pursuant to the agreement and plan of merger, our company merged with our wholly-owned subsidiary Global House Holdings Ltd., a Nevada corporation.

We are a start-up company engaged in the business of organizing, promoting, and operating industry-specific group purchase organizations (GPOs). A GPO is an entity created to leverage the purchasing power of a group of businesses (or individuals) to obtain discounts from vendors.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
The Company’s financial statements as of July 31, 2021 have been prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplate the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred a cumulative net loss of $
In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses and seeking third party equity and/or debt financing. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans. These financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended July 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending April 30, 2022. Notes to the unaudited interim financial statements that would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for fiscal year 2020 have been omitted. This report should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the footnotes thereto for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2021 included in the Company’s Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 13, 2021.
Use of Estimates
Preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
As of July 31, 2021 and April 30, 2021, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are recorded in accordance with ASC 310, “Receivables.” Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. The Company does not currently have any amount recorded as an allowance for doubtful accounts. Based on management’s estimate and based on all accounts being current, the Company has not deemed it necessary to reserve for doubtful accounts at this time.
As of July 31, 2021 and April 30, 2021, the Company had accounts receivable of $
Prepaid Expense
Prepaid expenses relate to security deposit for office premise and prepayment made for future services in advance that will be expensed over time as the benefit of the services is received in the future expected within one year.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method. The depreciation and amortization methods are designed to amortize the cost of the assets over their estimated useful lives, in years, of the respective assets as follows:
Furniture and Equipment |
Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Improvements of a major nature are capitalized. At the time of retirement or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gains or losses are reflected in income.
The long-lived assets of the Company are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment” (“ASC 360”), whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. During the three months ended July 31, 2021 and 2020, no impairment losses have been identified.

A GPO is an entity created to leverage the purchasing power of a group of businesses (or individuals) to obtain discounts from vendors. The Company identifies underserved markets, segments and industries where there is little to no competition and develops specific GPOs around them. The Company develops industry specific GPO that leverage the aggregated purchasing power of its members. The GPOs use collective buying power to obtain and negotiate discounts on products and services from vendors. The discounted rates are then shared with its members saving them money and time by also improving supply chain efficiencies.
The main business segments are HealthGPO, a Group Purchasing Organization for the Healthcare industry, and cbdGPO, a Group Purchasing Organization for the Hemp industry. In addition, the Company offers professional services through GPOPRO Services.
During the three months ended July 31, 2021, the Company recognized $
HealthGPO works with companies that have well priced high-quality products and services with advantageous terms. The Company’s primary offerings are volume supply acquisitions, access to quality personal protective equipment (PPE), essential necessities and medical equipment from non-traditional, yet fully accredited suppliers. Additionally, the Company identify “best of breed” products that have a unique value proposition and become distributors with some form of exclusivity and/or favorable terms. HealthGPO is developing a b2b healthcare portal to offer medical products to everyday business. Technology will continue to play an important role in exceeding our stated goals.
HealthGPO also addresses the needs of individual consumers who want access to products at a good price that is typically only available to healthcare professionals. The Company intend on developing a b2c (business to consumer) portal to sell healthcare and wellness products directly to consumers.
In accordance with ASC 606, revenues are recognized when:
| · | The invoice has been generated and provided to the customer. |
| · | The performance obligations of delivery of products are stated in the invoice. |
| · | The transaction price has been identified in the invoice. |
| · | The Company has allocated the transaction price to performance obligation in the invoice. |
| · | The Company has shipped out the product and, therefore, satisfied the performance obligation. |
During the three months ended July 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized revenue of $

Financial Instruments
The carrying values of our financial instruments including cash and cash equivalent, accounts receivable, loan receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, accrued interest and convertible notes approximate their fair value due to the short maturities of these financial instruments.
Related Party Balances and Transactions
The Company follows FASB ASC 850, “Related Party Disclosures,” for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transaction. (Note 5)
Convertible Financial Instruments
The Company bifurcates conversion options from their host instruments and accounts for them as free-standing derivative financial instruments if certain criteria are met. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not remeasured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur, and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. An exception to this rule is when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional, as that term is described under applicable U.S. GAAP.
When the Company has historically determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments, discounts have been recorded for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in the instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the instrument. During the three months ended July 31, 2021, the Company has chosen to early adopt of ASU2020-06 and did not record a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) discount on the issuance of convertible notes with the conversion rate below the Company’s market stock price on the date of note issuance.
Share-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for share-based compensation under the fair value method in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation,” which requires all such compensation to employees and non-employees to be calculated based on its fair value of the equity instrument at the grant date and recognized in the earnings over the requisite service or vesting period.
During the three months ended July 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded $

Basic and Diluted Loss per Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period.
For the three months ended July 31, 2021, Series A preferred stock, warrants and common stock payable were dilutive instruments and were not included in the calculation of diluted loss per share as their effect would be antidilutive.

New Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, ASC Subtopic 470-20 “Debt—Debt with “Conversion and Other Options” and ASC subtopic 815-40 “Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity”. The standard reduced the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. Convertible instruments that continue to be subject to separation models are (1) those with embedded conversion features that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract, that meet the definition of a derivative, and that do not qualify for a scope exception from derivative accounting; and, (2) convertible debt instruments issued with substantial premiums for which the premiums are recorded as paid-in capital. ASU2020-06 removes from U.S. GAAP the separation models for (1) convertible debt with a CCF and (2) convertible instruments with a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). With the adoption of ASU2020-06, entities will not separately present in equity an embedded conversion feature these debts. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has chosen to early adopt this standard on its three months ended July 31, 2021 financial statements and did not record BCF on the issuance of convertible notes with conversion rate below the Company’s market stock price on the date of note issuance.
In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-08, Compensation-Stock Compensation and Revenue from Contracts with Customers; Codification Improvements- Share-Based Consideration Payable to a Customer. ASU 2019-08 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. ASU 2019-08 requires companies to measure and classify (on the balance sheet) share-based payments to customers by applying the guidance in Top 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. As a result, the amount recorded as a reduction in revenue would be measured based on the grant-date fair value of the share-based payment. Measuring and classifying share-based payments to customers under Top 718 provide fewer measurement dates for the instruments, fewer instances of classifying the instruments as liabilities; and more consistent accounting with share-based payments made to other nonemployees. The impact of this new standard on the Company’s financial statements has not been material.
| 11 |
| Table of Contents |
In December 2019, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (ASU 2019-12), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes. This guidance will be effective for entities for the fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020 on a prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our financial statements.
Management has considered all other recent accounting pronouncements issued. The Company’s management believes that these recent pronouncements will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 9 – RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
In early 2020, the World Health Organization declared the rapidly spreading coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak a pandemic. This pandemic has resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. Due to the outbreak and spread of COVID-19, the Company’s management and advisors responsible for financial reporting have experienced administrative delays, include travel restrictions and reduced work hours. The Company considered the impact of COVID-19 on the assumptions and estimates used and determined that there were no material adverse impacts on the Company’s results of operations and financial position at July 31, 2021. The Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require an update to its estimates or judgments or a revision of the carrying value of its assets or liabilities as of the date of issuance of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These estimates may change, as new events occur and additional information is obtained.

General Overview
GPO Plus identifies underserved markets, segments and industries where there is little to no competition and develops specific group-purchase organizations (GPOs) around them. In addition, unlike major GPOs, GPO Plus has low MOQ’s (minimum order quantities) which enable small and mid-sized companies to participate with larger corporations. We communicate with our members to determine their needs to ensure GPO Plus provides relevant products and services, sustainable low prices and cost structures, increased efficiencies, and attentive customer service.
GPO Plus develops industry specific GPOs that leverage the aggregated purchasing power of its members. The GPOs use collective buying power to obtain and negotiate discounts on products and services from vendors. The discounted rates are then shared with its members saving them money and time by also improving supply chain efficiencies.
On September 8, 2021, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an institutional investor (the “Investor”) pursuant to which the Company issued a $168,000 Original Issue Discounted Convertible Promissory Note for a purchase price of $150,000 (the “Note”), convertible at $1.00 per share. Additionally, the Company issued to the investor 168,000 three-year warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.25 per share (the “Warrant”). The Note matures nine months from the issuance date and accrues interest at 9% per annum.

Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $185,496 for the three months ended July 31, 2021 compared with $17,499 net cash used in operating activities during the same period in 2020.
During the three months ended July 31, 2021, net cash used in operating activities was attributed to net loss of $19,109,657, decreased by stock based compensation of $15,489,445, depreciation of furniture and equipment of $285, amortization of convertible note discount of $36,925 and a net changes in operating assets and liabilities of $3,397,506.
During the three months ended July 31, 2020, the net cash used in operating activities was attributed to net loss of $38,446 from operations, decreased by net changes in operating assets and liabilities of $20,947.
Investing Activities
During the three months ended July 31, 2021 and 2020, we used $12,500 and $1,916, respectively, in investing activities. Investing activities in 2021 consisting of advances on loan receivable to a related party, and in 2020 of an investment in office equipment.
Financing Activities
During the three months ended July 31, 2021, net cash from financing activities was $250,228 compared to $50,000 during the same period in 2020.

Proceeds from financing activities during the three months ended July 31, 2020 were derived from proceeds from deposit of $50,000.
Going Concern
As of July 31, 2021, we had cash on hand of $64,639. We generated revenues of $369,558 and gross profit of $87,452 during the three months ended July 31, 2021 but incurred net loss of $19,109,657 during the period and a cumulative net loss of $19,985,801 since our inception. We expect to generate additional losses for the foreseeable future while we establish our business.
We will require additional funds for our budgeted expenses over the next 12 months. These funds may be raised through equity financing, debt financing, or other sources, which may result in further dilution in the equity ownership of our shares. There is still no assurance that we will be able to maintain operations at a level sufficient for an investor to obtain a return on his investment in our common stock. Further, we may continue to be unprofitable. We need to raise additional funds in the immediate future in order to proceed with our budgeted expenses. We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our common stock in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to our existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of our equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our planned business activities. We presently do not have any arrangements for additional financing for the expansion of our future operations, and no potential lines of credit or sources of financing are currently available for the purpose of proceeding with our plan of operations. If we are not successful in raising sufficient capital to execute our business plan we will be required to scale down or delay our plan of operation to accommodate our available resources.

Contractual Obligations
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.
Critical Accounting Policies
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 our financial condition and results of operations during the period in which such changes occurred. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our 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.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued. Our company’s management believes that these recent pronouncements will not have a material effect on our financial statements.
Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
As a “smaller reporting company”, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by our company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of July 31, 2021. Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of July 31, 2021.

| Table of Contents |
Our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective for the following reasons:
We did not maintain effective controls to identify and maintain segregation of duties in identifying, authorizing, approving, accounting for, and disclosing significant estimates, related-party transactions, significant unusual transactions, and other non-routine events and transactions. Specifically, we only have one individual, our sole officer and director, who reviews, evaluates, approves, and records transactions and initiates journal entries, approves journal entries, and posts journal entries to the general ledger. There is no independent review of any financial duties performed by this individual.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the period covered by this report there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls
Our management, which consists of our sole officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting are or will be capable of preventing or detecting all errors or all fraud. Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements, due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns may occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. | Legal Proceedings |
On August 14, 2020, the Company was included in what it believes to be a non-material litigation filed in the Circuit Court of the Firth Judicial Circuit, Hernando County, Florida Case No. 20-CA-0652, MNP Industries, LLC (“Plaintiff”) vs Smeal et al. The complaint, which alleges the breach of certain non-compete agreements by multiple defendants, attempts to implicate the Company on the mistaken belief that the Company had acquired another defendant, Miracle Products, LLC. There is not, however, any common ownership or affiliate relationship among the Company and the co-defendants, and the Company is not party to any non-compete agreement with the plaintiff. The Plaintiff amended its complaint to allege breach of NDA and Trade Secret violations which the company believes to be groundless. The Company has instructed counsel to file a motion to dismiss the complaint as it relates to the Company on the grounds that it fails to state a cause of action for which relief may be granted. On December 17, 2020, the court issued an order, denying the Plaintiff’s request, and so all of the defendants in the case are now free to work for a competitor of Plaintiff and can service current and former customers of Plaintiff, use the customer list, and can even solicit customers and or the customer list. This was a huge victory for GPOX. The Company has instructed counsel to file a motion to dismiss the complaint as it relates to the Company on the grounds that it fails to state a cause of action for which relief may be granted and to file a counter lawsuit against the Plaintiff.
With the exception of the above-described complaint, which we believe to be non-material, we are not involved in any pending legal proceeding or litigation and, to the best of our knowledge, no governmental authority is contemplating any proceeding to which we are a party and which would reasonably be likely to have a material adverse effect on our company.
