The Company
Our Current Business
GPOPlus+ (GPOX)
GPOPlus+ “GPOX” is a leading Direct Store Delivery “DSD” distribution company pioneering the future of distribution to convenience stores and gas stations with its technology-driven distribution model.
Our strategic approach involves a close collaboration with retailers to curate a tailored selection of fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) that cater to the specific needs of their customer base. By visiting our retail partners weekly, we ensure that shelves are consistently stocked with the most sought-after products, maintaining optimal inventory levels, and maximizing retail success. This partnership extends to working directly with manufacturers and vendors, enhancing our product lineup, and, in some cases, creating our own branded products to fill market gaps.
Our in-house technology platform, PRISM+, is at the core of our operations, designed to streamline the distribution process. PRISM+ supports efficient delivery, inventory management, data analytics, and overall operational excellence, enabling us to reliably and effectively meet the dynamic needs of our partners.
Overview
GPOX is pioneering the future of distribution to convenience stores and gas stations with our groundbreaking DSD distribution model. Our technology-driven distribution network is strategically designed to optimize effectiveness and maximize reach through a network of Regional Hubs and Mini Hubs. This innovative structure enhances our efficiency and service quality, setting a new benchmark for excellence in the distribution industry.
Understanding our retail partners' critical needs and challenges, we work closely with them to identify pain points and devise tailored solutions that exceed their expectations! Our commitment to distribution superiority is mirrored in our approach to product selection. We align product offerings with consumer demand by identifying the most relevant and sought-after items; we collaborate with best-in-class vendors, manufacturers, and brands to curate an exceptional product lineup. In some cases, GPOX manufactures products, ensuring our market-leading portfolio remains diverse, exclusive, highly profitable, and in demand. This unique approach enables us to deliver unparalleled value to our retail partners, ensuring that their shelves are consistently stocked with the products consumers want the most.
GPOX is not just a distributor; we are a partner invested in the success of our clients. Our rapid growth is a testament to the effectiveness of our DSD model and the trust placed in us by some of the country's largest convenience store and gas station chains.
Over the last year, we discovered that a few distributors deliver 80% - 85% of products in convenience stores and gas stations, while the remaining 15% - 20% is handled by numerous regional vendors using a drop-ship model. Our mission is to consolidate this fragmented 15% - 20% market, leveraging our extensive service area, our weekly DSD service, and approaching independent store operators to gain a significant competitive advantage.
We are deeply committed to perfecting every aspect of our DSD distribution service. We believe in the power of getting it right - building a scalable, robust business model that can expand without sacrificing quality. Our strategy to achieve this encompasses all distribution aspects, from customer service provided by our drivers to efficient warehouse operations to full technology implementation. While pursuing perfection, our strategy includes onboarding new customers in our existing service area and doing so until we get it right!
We have invested time, money, and resources to build the infrastructure for a highly scalable business model capable of nationwide expansion, not just facilitating our current customer base. Once we have solidified our operations and ensured the success of these partnerships, we will set our sights on 2025 and beyond, aiming to scale up to serve over 20,000 locations nationwide.
Industry Background: How BIG is Our Target Market?
In 2023, the United States boasted approximately 152,396 convenience stores and gas stations, with single-store operators making up 96,161 (63.1%) of these establishments, indicating a strong presence of independent ownership within the market. We empower independent retailers with the same level of service and pricing as large chains.
Total industry revenues approached $860 Billion for the year, with $532.2 Billion derived from motor fuel sales and $327.6 Billion from in-store sales, highlighting the significant revenue potential beyond just fuel.
Our Target Market
Over the last year, we learned that 80% - 85% of all the products you see in convenience stores and gas stations are delivered by just a few distributors. The remaining 15% - 20% is serviced by dozens, in some cases more than 50+ vendors and distributors, with primarily a drop-ship model. Many of these vendors and/or distributors are regional; the larger the convenience store/gas station chain, the fewer vendors they want to work with. Our mission is to consolidate the 15% - 20% of highly fragmented products represented by many vendors and distributors. This is our Target Market, where we have a significant competitive advantage due to our large service area and weekly DSD service!
Our Opportunity
The opportunity within this sector also lies mainly in the in-store sales domain, which is growing in diversity and volume. As consumer preferences shift towards quick, accessible shopping for a broader range of products, convenience stores are uniquely positioned to meet these demands. This market dynamic presents a fertile ground for companies like GPOX looking to capitalize on the expanding role of convenience stores beyond traditional fuel sales, offering substantial returns on investments in enhancing in-store offerings and customer experience.
Getting Really, Really Good at DSD Distribution
The GPOX Team is dedicated to perfecting our DSD model by optimizing each aspect of our distribution process to ensure efficiency, profitability, and customer satisfaction by merging traditional distribution practices with innovative technologies. Our approach focuses on advanced logistics technology, rigorous training for our teams, and strategic partnerships with retailers to streamline the flow of goods directly to stores. This integration ensures high-quality control and supply chain resilience by distributing and manufacturing high-demand products, positioning us as a key player in the convenience retail sector.
This unique approach centers around a deep collaboration with retail partners and vendors. We distribute and manufacture high-demand products, making us a pivotal player in the convenience retail ecosystem. This vertical integration allows us to control quality and improve supply chain resilience, providing a consistent and reliable service to all our partners.
Our in-house technology platform, PRISM+, is at the forefront of supply chain management, driver management, and maintaining tight control over inventory. It enables precise inventory tracking, optimizes delivery routes, and ensures accurate, timely fulfillment. This reduces overhead costs and increases profitability for GPOX and our partners, distinguishing us as a strategic ally invested in their success.
Our in-person direct delivery model cuts operational costs for retailers and strengthens retailer relationships through consistent quality service and customized in-store promotions. As we refine our processes, GPOX is poised to lead in DSD distribution for gas stations and convenience stores, offering unparalleled value to our partners and an enhanced consumer experience.
Part of our DSD model is sourcing and manufacturing high quality products with high sales velocity and data analysis to refine an optimal product mix on a store-by-store basis. We continually work with vendors and manufacturing partners to source the best-suited products for our retail partners. When we increase the number of stores we provide distribution services to, we also increase the global footprint of our vendor partner's products, thus increasing their reach for a win-win for all! We are negotiating better deals with better terms and margins and will continue to do so, like a Group Purchasing Organization or a GPO!
We Are Problem Solvers!
We solve many problems for our retail partners just by being in the store weekly. Solving these problems creates a lot of value for GPOX, making us an indispensable partner. The problems solved include but are not limited to:
| · | Inventory Optimization: Store owners and managers no longer have to place orders for these products, as we replenish them with our weekly service. We manage weeks of supply. |
| | |
| · | Saves Retail Space: Retailers no longer have to take up valuable retail space to store additional products; they have precisely what they need for that week or delivery period. |
| · | Saves Labor Costs: Store owners and managers no longer have to break down pallets, enter the products into inventory, and restock shelves. |
| | |
| · | Planogram Integrity: At the corporate level, the category managers can rest assured their planograms for each store layout are being adhered to, leading to more accurate reporting, forecasting, and sales. |
| | |
| · | Analytics: Using our technology, enhanced reporting provides insights into customer buying behaviors, leading to optimal product assortments and inventory levels. |
| | |
| · | Right products, in the right place at the right time. |
| | |
| · | Offering category expansion opportunities |
| | |
| · | We provide market research for clients' growth initiatives. |
| | |
| · | Territory: GPOX provides DSD service throughout the Midwest, which is the most challenging territory for this level of service. In the past, the Midwest was primarily serviced only by broadline or super-regional distributors. |
| | |
| · | Relationships: Our dedicated driving team has the lowest turnover rate in the industry, which means our store relationships are unmatched. This creates the opportunity to bring additional business and receive accurate customer feedback in real time. |
| | |
| · | Speed: Without lightning-fast response time to market trends and regulation changes, our competitors can compete! |
| | |
| · | Trends: Our speed of market is an advantage for the retailer and our supplier partners. |
| | |
| · | In Stock: Thanks to our model's efficiencies, retailers experience few to no out-of-stock, benefiting both the retailer and supplier. We partner with or handle supply disruptions so our clients can focus on their growth initiatives. |
| | |
| · | Retailer Private Label Products: The private label sector faces challenges related to customer perception of quality and competing with national brands. Analyzing sales data helps us support category managers in refining their product assortment, and DSD service protects the assortment from the common practice of national brands encroaching on shelf space. These practices contribute to a robust private label program for retailers, increasing our relationship's value. |
We solve unique needs, like helping with new store set-ups & launches, which go beyond typical distribution relationships.
GPOX Product Portfolio Strategy
As we continue to grow, we are dedicated to expanding our product portfolio to meet the evolving needs of gas stations and convenience stores. We aim to represent diverse top-selling products that drive sales and enhance customer satisfaction.
To achieve our growth objectives, we conduct thorough market research to identify emerging trends and consumer preferences specific to gas stations and convenience stores. This enables us to select top-selling products that align with current demand. The establishment of strong partnerships with best-in-class vendors and manufacturers known for their commitment to quality, innovation, and reliability is crucial. We rigorously evaluate potential products for inclusion in our portfolio to ensure they meet our standards for quality and compliance.
PRISM+ Overview
PRISM+ (Predictive Route, Inventory, and Service Management) is our in-house technology platform is designed specifically for the gas station and convenience store industry. As a DSD (Direct Store Delivery) distributor, PRISM+ enables us to optimize and streamline our operations, driving significant efficiencies and enhancing service quality.
How We Generate Sales
We have worked hard to simplify our business model. The way we generate revenue is easy to understand.
Current Revenue Streams
We currently make money from the products we deliver to stores as follows:
| 1. | Wholesale Markup + Volume Discounts: We purchase products from manufacturers at wholesale or discounted prices and sell them to retailers at a higher price. By selling large volumes, we benefit from economies of scale, which reduces our per-unit costs and increases our profit margins. The primary source of our revenue is the difference between our wholesale cost and the price at which we sell to retailers (the markup or margin). |
| | |
| 2. | Manufacturing: In some cases, we manufacture our own products. When GPOX is the manufacturer, we achieve significantly higher margins than wholesale products. Our profit margins are the difference between our manufacturing costs and the price we sell to retailers. This is superior to the profit from a markup on a product purchased from an outside manufacturer. |
| | |
| 3. | Delivery/Distribution Fees: We charge retailers a delivery fee for our weekly Direct Store Delivery (DSD) service. Sometimes, we purchase products on their behalf and store them in our Regional and Mini Hubs, and we earn a modest margin on these products when they are delivered. |
Employees and Consultants
We had 19 employees as of April 30, 2024 or as at the date of this Annual Report. As of the date of this Annual Report we are actively recruiting employees. We anticipate that we will require approximately 10 to 15 employees during fiscal 2025. We may also engage independent contractors as required to assist us in developing our business.

Market Information
There is a limited public market for our common shares. Our common shares have been listed for quotation on the OTCQB under the trading symbol “GPOX” since March 2021. Trading in stocks quoted on the OTC Markets is often thin and is characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices due to many factors that may be unrelated to a company’s operations or business prospects. OTC securities are not listed or traded on the floor of an organized national or regional stock exchange. Instead, OTC Securities transactions are conducted through a telephone and computer network connecting dealers in stocks. OTC Market issuers are traditionally smaller companies that are financially distressed, in bankruptcy, or do not meet the financial and other listing requirements of a regional or national stock exchange.
Holders
As of August 13, 2024, we had 134 shareholders of record of our common stock with 57,633,014 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.
Dividends
We have not paid any cash dividends to our shareholders. The declaration of any future cash dividends is at the discretion of our board of directors and depends upon our earnings, if any, our capital requirements and financial position, our general economic conditions, and other pertinent conditions. It is our present intention not to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, but rather to reinvest earnings, if any, in our business operations.
Equity Compensation Plans
On March 27, 2023, the board of directors and majority shareholder of the Company approved the adoption of the GPO Plus, Inc. 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2023 Equity Incentive Plan”). The purpose of the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan is to foster and promote the Company’s long-term financial success and increase stockholder value by motivating performance through incentive compensation. The 2023 Equity Incentive Plan is intended to encourage participants to acquire and maintain ownership interests in the Company and to attract and retain the services of talented individuals upon whose judgment and special efforts the successful conduct of the Company’s business is largely dependent. A total of 2,200,000 shares of common stock are reserved and may be issued under the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan. The 2023 Equity Incentive Plan provides for the granting of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, stock units, performance shares and performance units to our employees, officers, directors, and consultants, including incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock, and other benefits.

During the year ended April 30, 2023, the Company recognized revenue of $653,516, incurred cost of revenue of $467,504 and generated gross profit of $186,012.
We will require additional funds for our budgeted expenses over the next 12 months. These funds may be raised through equity financing, debt financing, or other sources, which may result in further dilution in the equity ownership of our shares. There is still no assurance that we will be able to maintain operations at a level sufficient for an investor to obtain a return on his investment in our common stock. Further, we may continue to be unprofitable. We need to raise additional funds in the immediate future in order to proceed with our budgeted expenses.
Specifically, based on nominal operations we estimate our operating expenses and working capital requirements for the next 12 months to be as follows:
| | Estimated | |
Description | | Expenses ($) | |
Public Company + Professional Fees | | $ | 200,000 | |
General & Administrative Expense | | $ | 1,800,000 | |
Marketing Expenses | | $ | 600,000 | |
Initial Personnel | | $ | 100,000 | |
GPO Distro | | $ | 500,000 | |
GPO Supplies - Inventory | | $ | 150,000 | |
Unallocated Working Capital/Contingency | | $ | 100,000 | |
Total Expenses | | $ | 3,450,000 | |
We will require additional financing in order to enable us to proceed with our plan of operations, as discussed above, including approximately $3,450,000 over the next 12 months to pay for our planned expenses. In addition, our planned expenses, including legal, accounting and audit fees, and general and administrative expenses, may be higher in the event we enter into any significant transactions. These planned cash requirements are in excess of our current cash and working capital resources. Although our cash requirements may be offset in part by anticipated revenues, we will require additional financing in order to continue operations, execute our business plan, and repay our liabilities. There is no assurance that any party will advance additional funds to us in order to enable us to sustain our plan of operations or to repay our liabilities.
We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our common stock in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuance 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
Not required for smaller reporting companies
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.
Revenue Recognition
During the year ended April 30, 2024, the Company generated its first revenue since its establishment. The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of products in accordance with ASC 606, “Revenue Recognition” following the five steps procedure:
| • | The invoice has been generated and provided to the customer. |
| • | The performance obligations for 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. |
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 determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments, discounts are 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.
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.

The Company has suffered recurring losses since inception, has a working capital deficit, and has not achieved profitable operations, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

NOTES TO THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEAR ENDED APRIL 30, 2024 AND 2023
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.
On April 2, 2018, the Company changed our corporate name from Koldeck Inc. to Global House Holdings Ltd. and merged with our wholly owned subsidiary Global House Holdings Ltd. Koldeck Inc. remained the surviving company of the merger, continuing under the name Global House Holdings Ltd.
On June 19, 2020, the Company changed our corporate name from Global House Holdings Ltd. to GPO Plus, Inc. and merged with our wholly owned subsidiary GPO Plus, Inc. Global House Holdings Ltd. remained the surviving company of the merger, continuing under the name GPO Plus, Inc
Effective May 5, 2020, Brett H. Pojunis acquired 5,000,000 (post-split) of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company from Jian Han Chen. As a result of the transaction, Mr. Pojunis had voting and dispositive control over 53.67% of our outstanding voting securities. Mr. Pojunis’s ownership has since been diluted to 20%, and Mr. Chen no longer holds any equity interest in the Company.
GPOX is pioneering the future of distribution to convenience stores and gas stations with our groundbreaking DSD distribution model. Our technology-driven distribution network is strategically designed to optimize effectiveness and maximize reach through a network of Regional Hubs and Mini Hubs. This innovative structure enhances our efficiency and service quality, setting a new benchmark for excellence in the distribution industry.
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
The Company’s financial statements as of April 30, 2024 have been prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) 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 revenue sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred a cumulative deficit of $39,440,047. These factors among others raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
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 financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (US GAAP) and are presented in US dollars. The Company’s year-end is April 30.
Use of Estimates
Preparing financial statements in conformity with US GAAP 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 the 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 April 30, 2024 and April 30, 2023, the Company had cash of $69,415 and $55,496, respectively.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivables are recorded in accordance with ASC 310, “Receivables,” 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 the 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 April 30, 2024 and April 30, 2023, the Company had accounts receivable of $57,792 and $43,614, respectively.
As of April 30, 2024, the Company has two customers concentrated over 10% of the accounts receivable at 90%. and 11%, respectively.
As of April 30, 2023, the Company has two customers concentrated over 10% of the accounts receivable at 67% and 27%, respectively.
Prepaid Expense
Prepaid expenses relate to security deposit for an 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.

Intangible Assets
The Company accounts for intangible assets (including trademarks and formula) in accordance with ASC 350 “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other.”
ASC 350 requires that goodwill and other intangibles with indefinite lives be tested for impairment annually or on an interim basis if events or circumstances indicate that the fair value of an asset has decreased below it carrying value. In addition, ASC 350 requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment) on an annual basis and between annual tests when circumstances indicate that the recoverability of the carrying amount of goodwill may be in doubt. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill to reporting units, and determining the fair value. Significant judgments required to estimate the fair value of reporting units include estimating future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates and other assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions or the occurrence of one or more confirming events in future periods could cause the actual results or outcomes to materially differ from such estimates and could also affect the determination of fair value and/or goodwill impairment at future reporting dates.
The cost of intangible assets with determinable useful lives is amortized to reflect the pattern of economic benefits consumed, either on a straight-line or accelerated basis over the estimated periods benefited. Patents, technology, and other intangibles with contractual terms are generally amortized over their respective legal or contractual lives. When certain events or changes in operating conditions occur, an impairment assessment is performed and lives of intangible assets with determinable lives may be adjusted. (Note 4)
Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable or that the useful lives of these assets are no longer appropriate. Each impairment test is based on a comparison of the undiscounted future cash flows to the recorded value of the asset. If impairment is indicated, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value.
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 | 3-5 years |
Computer Equipment | 2 years |
Automobile | 5 years |
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 the income.
The long-lived assets of the Company are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment,” 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 year ended April 30, 2024 and 2023, no impairment losses have been identified.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of products in accordance with ASC 606, “Revenue Recognition” following the five steps procedure:
Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with customers - The invoice has been generated and provided to the customer.
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract - The performance obligations of delivery of products are stated in the invoice.
Step 3: Determine the transaction price - The transaction price has been identified in the invoice.
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations - The Company has allocated the transaction price to performance obligation in the invoice.
Step 5: Recognize revenue when the entity satisfies a performance obligation - The Company has shipped out the product and, therefore, satisfied the performance obligation. The risk of loss passed to the customers at the point of shipment.
GPOPlus+ (GPOX)
GPOX is pioneering the future of distribution to convenience stores and gas stations with our groundbreaking DSD distribution model. Our technology-driven distribution network is strategically designed to optimize effectiveness and maximize reach through a network of Regional Hubs and Mini Hubs. This innovative structure enhances our efficiency and service quality, setting a new benchmark for excellence in the distribution industry.
During the year ended April 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $4,356,277 and $653,000 of revenues related to merchandise and product sales, and $25 and $516 of revenues related to shipping recovered on merchandise sales, respectively, resulting in total revenue of $4,356,303 and $653,516, respectively. The Company incurred cost of revenue of $3,521,158 and $467,504 and generated gross profit of $835,145 and $186,012 during the year ended April 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. In regard to the sales that occurred during the years ended April 30, 2024 and 2023, there are no unfulfilled obligations related to the merchandise and product sales.
During the year ended April 30, 2024, the Company has one customer who contributed over 10% of total sales at 95%.
During the year ended April 30, 2023, the Company has three customers who contributed over 10% of total sales at 54%, 31% and 10%, respectively.
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities refer to trade payable to non-affiliate vendors and payroll liabilities to employees. As of April 30, 2024 and April 30, 2023, accounts payable and accrued liabilities were $1,557,548 and $517,037, comprised of trade payable of $1,491,332 and $514,337 and payroll liabilities of $66,216 and $2,700, respectively.
Leases
We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception and whether the lease obligation is an operating lease or finance lease in accordance with ASC 842, “Leases.” A lease obligation is classified as a finance lease, if at least one of the following criteria is met:
| · | A transferal of ownership of an asset to the lessee at the end of the term of the initial lease |
| · | The lessee is reasonably certain that they will exercise a purchase option at the end of the term of the lease |
| · | The leased asset has no alternative use to the lessor at the end of the lease |
| · | The lease term is a major part of the economic life (75%) of the underlying asset |
| · | The present value of lease payments is substantially all of the fair value of the leased asset (90%) |
Operating leases
Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, operating lease liabilities - current, and operating lease liabilities - noncurrent on the balance sheets. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we generally use our incremental borrowing rate based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease payments at commencement date. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term by adding interest expense determined using the effective interest method to the amortization of right-of-use asset. Amortization of the right-of-use asset is calculated as the difference between the straight-line expense and the interest expense on the lease liability over the lease term. Lease expense is presented as a single line item in the operating expense in the statement of operations. The right-of-use assets are tested for impairment in accordance with ASC 360.
Finance lease.
Finance leases are included in finance lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, finance lease liabilities - current, and finance lease liabilities - noncurrent on the balance sheets. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Finance lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we generally use our incremental borrowing rate based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease payments at commencement date. The finance lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Interest expense is determined using the effective interest method. Amortization is recorded on the right-of-use asset on a straight-line basis. Interest and amortization expense are generally presented separately in the statement of operations. The right-of-use asset is tested for impairment in accordance with ASC 360.
Segments
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise engaging in business activities for which discrete financial information is available and regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company operates and manages its business as one operating segment and all of the Company’s revenues and operations are currently in the United States.
Financial Instruments
The carrying values of our financial instruments comprised of our current assets and liabilities 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 transactions. (Note 7)
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 US GAAP 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 US 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. On May 1, 2021, the Company chose to early adopt ASU 2020-06 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

None.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this annual report, April 30, 2024. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President and Chief Financial Officer (our principal executive officer and principal accounting officer).
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our company’s reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management, including our President and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based upon that evaluation, including our President and Chief Financial Officer, we have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of the end of the period covered by this annual report.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of April 30, 2024 based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework 2013 issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. As a result of this assessment, management concluded that, as of April 30, 2024our internal control over financial reporting was not effective. Our management identified the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which are indicative of many small companies with small staff: (i) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; and (ii) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both US GAAP and SEC guidelines.
We plan to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal control over financial reporting. During the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K, we have not been able to remediate the material weaknesses identified above. To remediate such weaknesses, we hope to implement the following changes during our fiscal year ending April 30, 2024: (i) appoint additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk management; and (ii) adopt sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting. The remediation efforts set out in (i) and (ii) are largely dependent upon our securing additional financing to cover the costs of implementing the changes required. If we are unsuccessful in securing such funds, remediation efforts may be adversely affected in a material manner.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. The management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm because as a smaller reporting company we are not subject to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes‑Oxley Act of 2002.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended April 30, 2024 that have 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.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Our common stock is not registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Accordingly, our executive officers and directors and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities are not subject to the beneficial ownership reporting requirements of Section 16(1) of the Exchange Act.
Code of Ethics
We have not adopted a code of ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller. We only have one officer and director and do not believe we need a code of ethics at this time.
Committees of the Board
Our company currently does not have nominating, compensation or audit committees or committees performing similar functions nor does our company have a written nominating, compensation, or audit committee charter. Our directors believe that it is not necessary to have such committees at this time, because the functions of such committees can be adequately performed by the board of directors.
Our company does not have any defined policy or procedural requirements for shareholders to submit recommendations or nominations for directors. The board of directors believes that, given the stage of our development, a specific nominating policy would be premature and of little assistance until our business operations develop to a more advanced level. Our company does not currently have any specific or minimum criteria for the election of nominees to the board of directors and we do not have any specific process or procedure for evaluating such nominees. The board of directors will assess all candidates, whether submitted by management or shareholders, and make recommendations for election or appointment.
A shareholder who wishes to communicate with our board of directors may do so by directing a written request addressed to our CEO at the address appearing on the first page of this annual report.
Board and Committee Meetings
Our board of directors held no formal meetings during the year ended April 30, 2024. All proceedings of the board of directors were conducted by resolutions consented to in writing by all the directors and filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the directors. Such resolutions consented to in writing by the directors entitled to vote on that resolution at a meeting of the directors are, according to the Nevada General Corporate Law and our Bylaws, as valid and effective as if they had been passed at a meeting of the directors duly called and held.
Audit Committee Financial Expert
Currently our audit committee consists of our entire board of directors. We do not currently have a director who is qualified to act as the head of the audit committee.
ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Director Independence
We are not currently subject to listing requirements of any national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system that has requirements that a majority of the board of directors be “independent.” Our board of directors currently has one (1) member, Brett H. Pojunis. Mr. Pojunis who serves as our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President and Secretary, is “independent” within the definition of independence provided in the Marketplace Rules of the National Association of Securities Dealers and the independence requirements contemplated by Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
From inception to present date, we believe that the member of our audit committee and the board of directors have been and are collectively capable of analyzing and evaluating our consolidated financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting.
ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES
On October 3, 2023, the Company was informed that Pinnacle Accountancy Group of Utah a dba of Heaton & Company, PLLC (“Pinnacle”) had sold a portion of its business to GreenGrowth CPAs (“GreenGrowth”). On November 10, 2023, the Company engaged and executed an agreement with GreenGrowth, as the Company’s new independent accountant to replace Pinnacle. The reports of Pinnacle regarding the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, being the two most recent fiscal years for which the Company has filed audited financial statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except to indicate that there was substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The board of directors of the Company, acting as the audit committee, approved the decision to change independent accountants. During the fiscal years ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, and through October 31, 2023, the Company had no disagreements (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K) with Pinnacle on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Pinnacle would have caused Pinnacle to make reference thereto in connection with its report. During the fiscal years ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, and through October 31, 2023, the Company did not experience any reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K), except that management of the Company discussed with Pinnacle the continued existence of material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
The aggregate fees billed for the most recently completed fiscal year ended April 30, 2024 and for fiscal year ended April 30, 2023 for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the audit of our annual financial statements and review of the financial statements included in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for these fiscal periods were as follows:

Audit committee policies & procedures.
We do not currently have a standing audit committee. The above services were approved by our Board of Directors.
Our board of directors has considered the nature and amount of fees billed by our independent auditors and believes that the provision of services for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining our independent auditors’ independence.
