ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

Description of Business
 
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on October 24, 2012, with the name Global Tech Solutions, Inc.  Since inception, we have not generated any revenues and have accumulated losses in the amount of $51,728 as of October 31, 2013.
 
We have never been a party to any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding, nor have we undergone any material reclassification, merger, consolidation, purchase or sale of a significant amount of assets not in the ordinary course of business.
 
The Company plans to develop and market software product as a mobile application for end users of the current generation iPhone and iPad from Apple, Inc. The mobile application’s digital content will be customizable by the owner of the particular device using our software. This should be of particular interest to artists and professional photographers and videographers, who want to have their own iPhone/iPad applications. We plan to stay on the cutting edge of the constantly changing mobile application market, and our goal is to create a quality reputation within the mobile software community and marketplace. We plan to sell our initial applications through our own online retail website to professionals, who desire their own mobile applications and want to control the content (photos, videos, etc.).
 
As of the date of this report, neither our initial mobile application nor any other application has been developed to the point that we can describe specifically its nature and scope.
 
We anticipate that we will receive revenue from the sale of our software products. Specifically, customers will be charged an initial fee to download our basic software product. Additional software features will be available for additional charges. Additionally, customers will be charged ongoing monthly fees for continued use of our products, software upgrades and other software modifications.
 
As of the date of this report, the amounts of the prices for our products have not been determined. As our software products are completed, we will determine the prices based upon our costs and the prices of competing products.
 
We have yet to commence planned operations to any significant measure. As of the date of this report, we, have had only limited start-up operations and have not generated revenues. We will not be profitable until we derive sufficient revenues and cash flows from sales of our software products. Currently, we do not have enough cash to finance our operations.

We are a development stage software development company located in Indio, California. The Company intends for its initial software products to include customizable applications for Apple’s iPhone and iPad mobile devices. The ability for the end user to control the content of its mobile application could position the Company among larger companies in a competitive market. We plan to stay on the cutting edge of the constantly changing mobile software market and create a reputation with the consumer of providing easy to use and attractive applications with the features that consumer’s desire. This market requires that new software features and updates be introduced on a regular basis, which is our long-term strategy.
 
Our initial software product is planned to be the framework and basic code for an iPhone/iPad application that can be used as a template for essentially an infinite number of mobile applications. By building the engine and template in advance and then using the same basic code repeatedly, the Company should avoid certain costs of development for each new application. Each new customer would have a set of features to choose from, which would provide the necessary content for the Company to customize an application for such customer’s business.
 
The Company would generate the engine/code/template and then customize it for each mobile application, thus providing a solution for small businesses to have their own iPhone application for a fraction of the cost of developing such an application from scratch. Customers could choose from a variety of features, including but not limited to:
 
·  
Custom graphics throughout the application (home screen, icons, buttons, etc.)

·  
Video content

·  
Audio content

·  
Photo content

·  
Maps and contact information

·  
Links to external websites

·  
Connections to social networking for use of content from popular sites such as Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace

·  
Commerce for purchases from within application, or link to an online store

In addition to customized mobile application, our customers will receive a customized publishing application (PC-based initially, with a Mac version coming later) to manage the content in their apps. To update, add, or delete content, the customer uses the publishing application, which in turn communicates with a central server where the content is hosted and the updates will be made to the app the next time it is launched.
 
We intend to charge each of our customers an initial fee to download our basic application. The fee will be determined based upon the features each user desires. Additionally, each user will be charged a monthly fee for the continued use of our application. Upgrades and other modifications will be available to our customers for appropriate fees. We have no yet finalized the amount of those fees.
 
Our President, Kenneth Johnson, has been interviewing potential software developers regarding our products. Currently, the Company has no agreements or contracts in place with any software developers or designers. Our target market for our initial software application is professional videographers, photographers, and musical bands/groups that desire their own iPhone 5/iPad application as part of their marketing efforts.
 
Our current management is comprised of Kenneth Johnson, President (our sole officer) and sole director. Mr. Johnson founded Digital Solutions, LLC in 1996 and served as its president until 2008.  He has continued to serve as a member of its Board of Directors since retiring in 2008.  Digital Solutions, LLC is a distribution company serving the graphic arts and printing industries with hardware and software products. Due to Mr. Johnson’s leadership and his experience in the graphic arts industry, the Company believes he will complement the Company’s management. Acknowledging the inherent risks involved in software development, we will assess the need for any patents or trademarks on a continuing basis to protect our main applications. Once the process is initiated, applications are initially protected under the Patent Pending Process provision while completing the full patenting process. This protection will cover the United States, initially, also giving first priority to the European Community.

We plan to initially focus our effort of distribution through online sales directly to the consumer. With our limited resources, the cost efficiencies involved in online sales is our targeted method for the distribution of our products. The Company has secured a distinctive URL (web address) in www.global-tech-solutions.net. We have used the Price Quote Calculator of WebPageFX to estimate the cost of a fully functioning website with ecommerce functionality to be between $5,000 and $9,000. While it is possible that the costs for a fully functional website could greatly exceed $5,000 to $9,000, we believe that we can have a third party web development company build a website to our specifications that will generate revenues for a price in that range. Such a website would be comprised of Company information, every product that we offer, and the ability to generate significant sales. Currently, the Company does not have a website in place. The proposed website would additionally include efforts by the Company to engage in Search Engine Optimization and cross-marketing/linking with other software-related websites to drive traffic to www.global-tech-solutions.net. At this time, no other websites or companies have been engaged, negotiated with, or contracted to participate in cross-linking or cross-marketing with the Company with regard to website related activities.
 
We believe that with the growth of Apple’s App Store, small businesses with exclusive content, such as photographers, videographers, and musicians should consider offering their own iPhone/iPad application as part of their marketing strategy. By offering them that opportunity at a price less than it would cost for another company to develop the application from scratch, we are hopeful that we will stand out in the competitive mobile software application market.
 
Immediate goals include the development of an Apple iPhone/iPad software application template that can be customized for each customer. Additionally, we will develop a PC-based publisher that communicates with a central server, so that each customer can control the content (photos, videos, audio files, etc.) of its mobile application from its own PC.
 
Clearly defined goals, both short and long term, will be an intricate part of the daily decision making process within the organization. It is with these defined goals in mind that allows us to feel confident with the many decisions required to maintain progressive working concepts. Within the next 12 months, we plan to have all current projects designed, developed, quality-tested, and completed for online sale to direct markets.
 
Long term, we have adopted a basic outline by which future goals will be established. As certain milestones are achieved at existing levels, new areas of design and development will be added. These new areas translate into the introduction of more products and more features to offer our customers, including entering Google’s mobile marketplace offered with all mobile devices running the Android operating system. These new products and long term goals are dependent on future financing and therefore may not occur. We intend to keep up with the increasingly competitive market using new and innovative features and products. Our intentions are to portray the Company as an innovative leader in the mobile software application market sectors.
 
The use of mobile applications has increased in recent years due to the introduction of 5G Smartphones running operating systems like Apple’s iPhone, Google’s Android, and RIM’s Blackberry. These devices allow the download of mobile applications to do everything from get news and weather, play games, engage in social networking activities, shop directly from smartphones, and much more.
 
We believe that there is a sufficient number of potential end users for the applications we plan to build. We believe that we can provide a relatively low cost solution to our customers available in the Apple App Store, giving them additional resources to market themselves.

BiznessApps offers a similar application for a starting cost of $59.00 per month. A similar competitor is MutualMobile, who concentrates more on development of mobile applications for larger companies. We believe that by concentrating on professionals in the industries of music and the arts, we can provide an affordable solution for a personalized and customizable mobile application for Apple’s iOS platform.
 
The market for iPhone/iPod Touch mobile applications is highly competitive. As a smaller company, we will need to provide equal or better functionality and customization at lower prices than our competitors to be competitive. Most of our competitors have much greater financial resources and longer operating histories than we do and, as a result, may be able to offer their products at lower prices. While we will attempt to develop the best mobile applications for the music and arts, there are no assurances that we will be able to do so. We will compete with other software developers that have higher budgets for marketing and, accordingly, will have a competitive advantage. As our operations to date have been limited and we have not generated revenues, we do not, presently, have any market share of sales generated in the industry.
 
With the popularity of online photo and video sharing (e.g. Flickr, Photobucket, and YouTube), we hope that our personalized applications for musicians and digital arts professionals will enable us to develop products for other mobile operation platforms, such as Android and Blackberry.
 
We believe that there is a sufficient number of individuals and small businesses that will benefit from offering their own iPhone 5/iPad applications in the Apple App Store. By marketing our services and products to these individuals and small companies, we may obtain enough market share to sustain our operation and be profitable.
 
We believe that our customizable mobile applications should be able to be offered worldwide. Our intended markets include North America, South America, Europe, Australia, and Asia. Specific targeted customers will include:
 
·  
Professional Photographers and/or Videographers. This is the main target sales demographic to be sought by us, because we believe that there is a demand by professional photographers and videographers for an inexpensive way to present their small businesses through mobile applications, particularly on the Apple iOS devices, as Apple is the preferred hardware provider for many photographers to manipulate, store, and share their images and video content. By having their own mobile applications, they should be able to further promote their businesses and eliminate some printed materials/brochures.

·  
Independent Video Producers. With the success of YouTube, we believe that families and independent video producers are capturing, archiving, and sharing more digital video content than ever before. We intend to target these independent videographers to offer them a way to share their videos with their own mobile applications.

·  
Local/Regional Bands and Musicians. Many local/regional bands and musicians have audio content that they desire to make available to the general public, but the cost of having their own mobile applications has been cost-prohibitive. Using our software, local bands and musicians should be able to offer their fans and the general public mobile applications which they can use to provide free audio and video content.

Our marketing activities are thought to be long-term and will include traditional product marketing activities such as production of both hardcopy and on-line promotional material, gathering of customer input for new product features and creation of product demonstrations. We will generate awareness of the Company and sales leads for our products through print and web-based advertising and consumer events such as trade shows for photographers/videographers. Additionally, we plan to build and maintain an extensive website that is used to inform our customers and prospects about our products. Initially, we plan to utilize the website as the main source of marketing our products. There may not be enough revenue from sales generated on our website to fund the future marketing efforts. The use of print media and participation in consumer events are considered to be part of our long-term strategy, so they depend partially or fully on future financing and, therefore, may not occur.
 
We believe that the users of Apple’s mobile devices, by nature of owning these devices, are people who are familiar with the Internet (they are online) and are proficient in using the Apple App Store, as well as general web browsing for actions such as email, shopping and social networking. We intend that these users will be our largest prospective customers and, thus, most of our marketing budget and efforts will go towards online marketing.
 
We believe that building a website to present and market our products is the most cost-effective way to gain customers. Once the first software application is completed and tested, we believe that we can start generating revenues from online marketing with comparatively little cash outlay. Using search-engine-optimization methods, as well as online advertising, and cross-promotional links with photography sites, we believe that we will be able to reach a significant number of global prospective customers with the same capital as used to be necessary to reach a very local limited market.
 
Additionally, social media outlets such as Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, and many others have established effective methods for shoppers to share their likes and dislikes for products. We believe that properly placed and managed social media networks for the Company should provide us with the availability to generate revenue from online purchases with comparatively little cash outlay.
 
We believe that to properly brand our products, a print media campaign will have to be utilized. The disadvantage of this method of marketing and branding is the relative high cost compared to online marketing. Competitors in the software industry still rely on traditional print media for product marketing and, more importantly, product branding.
 
Our media advertising will be monitored closely and managed as efficiently as possible and publications will be carefully selected. Joint advertising campaigns will be encouraged among the Company and certain persons or entities, such as photography, musician, and family magazines. We do not, currently, have any joint advertising campaigns. We believe that joint advertising campaigns are a viable way to stretch our advertising funds. Markets intended to be covered in our media effort will include photographers, videographers, local/regional bands and musicians, and families. With the associated costs of creating print media advertisements, print media can be quite expensive for the Company. We have done the necessary due diligence regarding this marketing method and plan to utilize that method when we can afford it.
 
We, also, plan to utilize tradeshows and other consumer events to promote our products and our brand. As with print media, these events are relatively expensive compared to online marketing. Significant competitors in the software industry use these events for product marketing, new product releases, and product branding. Having a presence at these events usually takes at approximately 3-6 months worth of planning and requires signage, representative, samples, and other promotional materials. We have done the necessary due diligence regarding this marketing method and plan to utilize that method when we can afford it.
 
When we determine that having a presence is advantageous, we plan to consider attendance and/or sponsorship signage for events such as the Consumer Electronics Show, the Photo Marketing Association International Show, and various musical gatherings and festivals such as South By Southwest and Coachella.
 
Acknowledging the inherent risks involved in software development, we will assess the need for any patents or trademarks on a continuing basis to protect our main products.

ITEM 6:  SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

Not required for smaller reporting companies.

ITEM 7:  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors and elsewhere in this report. The management’s discussion, analysis of financial condition, and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto contained elsewhere in this annual report.
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. For the period from October 24, 2012 (inception) to October 31, 2012, and for the twelve month period ended October 31, 2013, the Company had limited operations. As of October 31, 2013, the Company has not emerged from the development stage. In view of these matters, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to begin operations and to achieve a level of profitability. The Company intends on financing its future development activities and its working capital needs largely from the sale of public equity securities with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. The financial statements of the Company did not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred an accumulated deficit of $51,728 for the period from inception (October 24, 2012) to October 31, 2013. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
 
The future of the Company is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations from the development of its planned business. We plan to seek additional funds through private placements of our securities and/or capital contributions on loans by Kenneth Johnson, our president and sole shareholder. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might occur from this uncertainty.
 
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

As of the date of this report, we have not developed or sold any of our software or other products nor have we generated any revenue from operations.
 
Revenues. For the period from October 24, 2012 (inception) through October 31, 2012, our revenues were $0. For the twelve month period ended October 31, 2013, our revenues were $0. There has been no revenue generated during the periods presented, since our operations are in the business development stage. All efforts have been in the development of our business plan.
 
Operating Expenses. Our operating expenses were $10,000 for the period from October 24, 2012 (inception) through October 31, 2012. Our operating expenses for the twelve month period ended October 31, 2013, were $41,728. These expenses are primarily professional and consulting fees in development of our business plan and legal and accounting services.
 
As of October 31, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents of $692. Liabilities at October 31, 2013, totaled $42,400, and we have no material commitments. Net cash used in operations was $5,000 for the period from October 24, 2012 (inception) through October 31, 2012 and $15,828 for the twelve month period ended October 31, 2013. Our deficiency in our use of funds will continue until such time that we can generate revenue sufficient to pay our operating and public reporting expenses. There have been no investing activities during the period from inception to October 31, 2013. On October 29, 2012, Kenneth Johnson contributed $10,000 to our capital in exchange for 10,000,000 shares of our common stock.
 
On December 19, 2012, Kenneth Johnson, our President, sole director and sole shareholder, lent us $10,000, payable on demand, as specified by the provisions of a written Demand Promissory Note.  In December 2013, the due date of this note was extended to December 14, 2014 and it now accrues interest at 5%.
 
On February 21, 2013, Mr. Johnson lent us an additional $1,500. This loan is not evidenced by a promissory note.

In December 2013, Mr. Johnson loaned the Company $60,000.  This loan is due on June 23, 2014 and bears interest at 5%.
 
We are seeking investors to assist us to finance our operations. Our current cash is $692, which we believe will meet our obligations for approximately 2 months. We believe that we will need $60,000 dollars to satisfy our financial obligations for the next 12 months.
 
We are aware that our costs may increase and our estimates may be greater than expected. We anticipate funding our operations by the private placement of our securities and/or capital contributions or additional loans from Mr. Johnson.  We have received signed subscription agreements for a total of 4,000,000 shares of our common stock.  However at February 15, 2014 we have received no proceeds related to these subscriptions.
 
Inflation does not materially affect our business or the results of our operations.

Jobs Act of 2012
 
Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revise accounting standards.  An emerging growth company can, therefore, delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies.  We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.  Our financial statements may, therefore, not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.
 
A.  
Basis Of Accounting

Our financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. Our financial statements were prepared following generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America consistently applied. The Company has elected an October 31 year end.
 
           B. Basic Earnings Per Share

The Company has adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ACS 260, “Earnings per Share” (“EPS”) which requires presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. In the accompanying financial statements, basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income/loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. There are no dilutive shares outstanding at October 31, 2013 or 2012.
 
C. Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks, money market funds and certificates of term deposits with maturities of less than three months from inception, which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which, in the opinion of management, are subject to an insignificant risk of loss in value. The Company had $672 in cash and cash equivalents at October 31, 2013.
 
D. Use Of Estimates And Assumptions

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
E. Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes are reported for timing differences between items of income or expense reported in the financial statements and those reported for income tax purposes in accordance with FASB ASC 740  Income Taxes, which requires the use of the asset/liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes and tax benefits 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, and for tax loss and credit carry-forwards. 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. The Company provides for deferred taxes for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carry-forwards when realization is more likely than not.
 
Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Sole Board of Director and Stockholder of
Global Tech Solutions, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Global Tech Solutions, Inc. (the "Company"), a development stage company, as of October 31, 2013 and 2012 and the related statements of operations, stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for the year ended October 31, 2013, the period from October 24, 2012 (inception) to October 31, 2012, and the period from October 24, 2012 (inception) to October 31, 2013. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Global Tech Solutions, Inc., a development stage company, as of October 31, 2013 and 2012 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended October 31, 2013, the period from October 24, 2012 (inception) to October 31, 2012, and the period from October 24, 2012 (inception) to October 31, 2013 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has no established source of revenues, has no operations, has not emerged from the development stage, has incurred net losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception, has a deficit accumulated during the development stage, and is requiring traditional financing or equity funding to commence its operating plan. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Further information and management’s plans in regard to this uncertainty are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Global Tech Solutions, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
 
Notes to the Financial Statements
 

1.       Company Information
 
Description of Development Stage Operations
 
Global Tech Solutions, Inc. (the “Company” or "we"), a Nevada corporation, is a development stage software application developer located in Indio, California. The Company's initial software products consist of personalized mobile applications for devices such as Apple’s iPhone and iPad. Additionally, the Company desires to develop accompanying software applications for the PC and Mac that allow the owner of the mobile application to alter and control the content in their mobile application. The Company plans to stay on the cutting edge of the constantly changing mobile software market and its goal is to create a recognized brand name with a quality reputation within the professional photographer/videographer, musician, artist, and personal family markets.
 
The first applications will take into consideration the features that our target market is demanding, namely the ability to control their own content for their own mobile application. This content can be in the form of photos, videos, audio files, and many other customizable features that will appeal to our target market. Being able to control the content of their own mobile application, means that users can use the application (“app”) to further market their businesses or hobbies. The current software applications will be marketed under the “Global Tech Solutions” brand and will be offered at a price reasonable enough for small businesses and even families to effectively have their own iPhone app.
 
The Company is exposed to a number of risks during the normal conduct of its business considering its stage in the business life cycle. These risks include, but are not limited to: (1) its ability to obtain the capital necessary to fund its operations to a point where the business can generate positive cash flows and become self-sustaining; (2) its ability to successfully protect the intellectual property associated with the Company’s technology and products; and (3) its ability to attract and retain employees with the technical and other capabilities necessary to execute its business plan.
 
2.       Going Concern
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. For the period from October 24, 2012 (inception) to October 31, 2013, the Company has not established any source of revenues and has had no operations. As of October 31, 2013, the Company has not emerged from the development stage. In addition, the Company has incurred net losses and negative cash flows from operations from October 24, 2012 (inception) to October 31, 2013 and has a deficit accumulated during the development stage of $51,728 as of October 31, 2013.

Global Tech Solutions, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
 
Notes to the Financial Statements
 


 
In view of these matters, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to successfully commence operations and to achieve a level of profitability. The Company intends on financing its future development activities and its working capital needs from the sale of equity securities with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. However, there is no assurance that the Company can achieve profitable operations, once the Company commences commercial operations, or will be able to sustain profitability once achieved.
 
The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
3.       Significant Accounting Policies
 
Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates in the Financial Statements
 
Preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Reclassifications
 
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations or accumulated deficit.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
All cash is maintained with a major financial institution in the United States. Deposits with this bank in the future may exceed the amount of federally provided insurance provided on the deposits. At October 31, 2013, deposits with the bank did not exceed FDIC limits.  Temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.  At October 31, 2013, the Company had no cash equivalents.

Global Tech Solutions, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
 
Notes to the Financial Statements
 


 
Common Stock
 
The Company records common stock issuances when all of the legal requirements for the issuance of such common stock have been satisfied.
 
No Items of Other Comprehensive Income or Loss
 
The Company has no items of other comprehensive income or loss for the period from October 24, 2012 (inception) to October 31, 2013.  Therefore, the net loss as presented in the Company’s Statement of Operations reflects its comprehensive loss.
 
Income Taxes
 
Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus when incurred deferred taxes resulting from temporary differences. Such temporary differences result from differences in the carrying value of assets and liabilities for tax and financial reporting purposes. The future deferred tax assets and liabilities will represent the future tax consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. A valuation allowance was established to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
 
The Company adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 740 “Income Taxes” (ASC 740). A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits has been provided in Note 4. The Company has not recognized interest expense or penalties as a result of the implementation of ASC 740. If applicable, the Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized income tax benefits in interest expense and related penalties in operating expenses.
 
Loss Per Share
 
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share is computed giving effect to all potentially dilutive common shares. Potentially dilutive common shares may consist of incremental shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants and the conversion of notes payable to common stock. In periods in which a net loss has been incurred, all potentially dilutive common shares are considered anti-dilutive and thus are excluded from the calculation. At October 31, 2013, the Company did not have any potentially dilutive common shares.

Global Tech Solutions, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
 
Notes to the Financial Statements
 



 
Fair Value of Financial instruments
 
The Company measures fair value based on the prices that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements are based on a three tier hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value, using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1); significant other observable inputs (Level 2); and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3).
 
The Company’s financial instruments are cash, accounts payable, advance from president and sole shareholder and note payable to president and sole shareholder. The recorded values of each of these instruments approximate their fair values based on their short-term nature.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists ("ASU 2013-11"). ASU 2013-11 requires the netting of unrecognized tax benefits ("UTBs") against a deferred tax asset for a loss or other carryforward that would apply in settlement of the uncertain tax positions. UTBs are required to be netted against all available same-jurisdiction loss or other tax carryforwards that would be utilized, rather than only against carryforwards that are created by the UTBs. ASU 2013-11 is effective for years, including interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2013-11 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
 
4.       Income Taxes
 
For the period from October 24, 2012 (inception) to October 31, 2013, the Company incurred a net operating loss of $51,728 and, accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded. In addition, no benefit for income taxes has been recorded due to the uncertainty of the realization of any tax assets. At October 31, 2013, the Company had $51,728 of federal operating loss carryforwards which, if not utilized, will begin to expire in 2033.  The tax years ending October 31, 2013 and 2012 remain subject to examination.  The Company is not presently under examination by any taxing authorities.
 
Based on the available objective evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets of $21,794 will not be fully realizable. Accordingly, the Company provided for a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets at October 31, 2013.

On December 19, 2012, the president and sole shareholder of the Company loaned the Company $10,000.  The loan is evidenced by an unsecured demand promissory note payable.  The note payable was originally due on demand or December 14, 2013, whichever was first, and did not bear interest. In December 2013, prior to the due date, the note payable was amended to make all principal and interest due and payable on December 14, 2014.  The amended note payable bears interest at a rate of 5% per annum from the amendment date.  As a result of the amendment, the related party note payable is presented as a non-current liability at October 31, 2013.
 
Shareholder Advance
 
In February 2013, the Company's president and sole shareholder advanced $1,500 to the Company to pay for S-1 filing fees.  The amount remains unpaid as a related party current liability, is due on demand, and is not interest bearing.

Preferred Stock
 
On October 25, 2012, the Company amended its articles of incorporation to authorize 10,000,000 shares of the Company's capital stock as preferred stock, which may be issued in one or more series.  The par value of preferred stock is $0.0001 and there are no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding at October 31, 2013.

As discussed in Note 5, on October 24, 2012, the Company sold 10,000,000 shares of its common stock to the president of the Company for $10,000 at a per share cash price of $0.001.
 
7.       Commitments and Contingencies
 
Concentrations

ITEM 9:  CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

None.

ITEM 9A:  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Our management consisting of our president who is our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K.  In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.  In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.  The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon 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.

Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of October 31, 2013, our disclosure controls and procedures were, subject to the limitations noted above, effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules, regulations and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act).  Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

Our management evaluated the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as of October 31, 2013.  In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework.  Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that, as of October 31, 2013, our internal controls over financial reporting were effective.

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding our internal controls over financial reporting.  Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the fourth quarter of our 2013 fiscal year, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting.

Mr. Johnson has more than 50 years of experience in management, sales and marketing, product development, raising capital and business development. Upon completion of his Bachelors of Science in Biology and Biochemistry from the University of Rhode Island in 1967, Mr. Johnson started his career with Union Carbide in 1967.

After returning this company to profitability, he formed Digital Solutions LLC in 1994. He acted as president of Digital Solutions LLC until his retirement in 2005.  He continues to serve as an advisor to Digital Solutions LLC.

Our director has been appointed to hold office until the next annual meeting of our stockholders or until his respective successor is elected and qualified, or until he resigns or is removed in accordance with the applicable provisions of Nevada law.  Our officers are appointed by our Board of Directors and hold office until removed by our Board of Directors or until their resignation.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Our shares of common stock are not registered under the Exchange Act, and therefore our officers, directors and holders of more than 10% of our outstanding shares are not subject to the provisions of Section 16(a) which requires them to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of common stock and our other equity securities.  Accordingly, there are no violations of Section 16(a).

ITEM 11:  EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Currently, our sole officer and director receives no compensation for his services during the development stage of our business operations.

Transactions with Related Persons

On October 24, 2012, the Company sold 10,000,000 shares of its common stock to the president of the Company for $10,000 at a per share cash price of $0.001.

Conflict of Interest Policy

The president of the Company, who is also the sole shareholder and Board Member of the Company, is from time to time involved in other business activities and may, in the future, become involved in other business opportunities that become available. He may face a conflict in selecting between the Company and other business interests. The Company has not formulated a policy for the resolution of such conflicts.

Office Lease

The Company does not own or lease property or lease office space. The office space used by the Company was arranged by the president and sole shareholder of the Company to use at no charge.
 
Related Party Note Payable

On December 19, 2012, the president and sole shareholder of the Company loaned the Company $10,000.  The loan is evidenced by an unsecured demand promissory note payable.  The note payable was originally due on demand or December 14, 2013, whichever was first, and did not bear interest. In December 2013, prior to the due date, the note payable was amended to make all principal and interest due and payable on December 14, 2014.  The amended note payable bears interest at a rate of 5% per annum from the amendment date.  As a result of the amendment, the related party note payable is presented as a non current liability at October 31, 2013.

Shareholder Advance

In February 2013, the Company's president and sole shareholder advanced $1,500 to the Company to pay for S 1 filing fees.  The amount remains unpaid as a related party current liability, is due on demand, and is not interest bearing.

Parents of the Smaller Reporting Company

The Company has no parents, except to the extent that Mr. Johnson may be deemed to be its parent by virtue of his beneficial ownership of 100% of its currently outstanding shares.
 
Our Board of Directors is, currently, composed of one member who does not qualify as an independent director in accordance with the published listing requirements of the NASDAQ Global Market.  The NASDAQ independence definition includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not, and has not been for at least three years, one of our employees and that neither the directors, not any of his or her family members has engaged in various types of business dealings with us.  In addition, our Board of Directors has not made a subjective determination as to each director that no relationships exist which, in the opinion of our Board of Directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director, though such subjective determination is required by the NASDAQ rules.  If our Board of Directors made these determinations, our Board of Directors would have reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors and us with regard to each director’s business and personal activities and relationships as they may relate to us and our management.
