This is good news! Recall that Melvin said he would be SEC reporting in 2025. Maybe he was talking about uplisting to the OTCID. From watching the videos below, I got the impression that the OTCID, relative to the Pink Current Market, has increased disclosure and compliance requirements that attract more investors and broker-dealer networks that in turn drive up trading volume (time stamp at 32:14 in the first video below). ✔️
Big Changes Coming to the Pink Market
Effective July 1, 2025, we will launch the OTCID Basic Market. The Pink Current Market will cease to exist.
Learn more about this change and the OTCID Basic Market here
The OTCID Basic Market is for companies that publish baseline information, rather than meet the higher qualifications of our premium markets. These companies provide ongoing financial disclosure and a management certification, and verify their company profile for US investors, brokers and regulators.
The Pink Limited Market is for broker-dealers to publicly quote securities with limited to no issuer involvement. Pink Limited companies do not certify their compliance with established reporting standards, have limited availability of disclosure or financial information and may not support their U.S. market. These securities are identified with yield sign to warn investors to proceed with caution.Source: https://www.otcmarkets.com/corporate-services/pink-market

*** THIS IS A CORRECTED AND UPDATED VERSION OF MY ORIGINAL POST. A member pointed out to me that a company does not file a quarterly report for the 4th quarter. An annual report is filed instead that includes the data from the 4th quarter. I confirmed this at https://www.investopedia.com/terms/1/10q.asp. Accordingly, I have deleted lines 2 and 4 from the original post, that made reference to a Q4 quarterly report, and printed the corrected version here. ***
*** Also, added some commentary that updates the expected publication date for the annual report. ***
*** Also, added the section header "SUPPORTING MATERIAL'' which did not appear in the original post. ***
UPDATED PREDICTION
Key Filing Dates
Mon, Mar 31, 2025 - Pink Current (full annual report)
Tue, April 15, 2025 - Pink Current w/ 15-day late filing extension (full annual report)
Wed, April 30, 2025 - Pink Limited (annual financial statements)
Thur, May 15, 2025 - Pink Limited w/ 15-day late filing extension (annual financial statements)
The Best Case Scenario is Tue, April 15, 2025
Melvin published 3 quarterly reports in FY2024. This is not required for Pink Limited. It's more inline with Pink Current. If he continues this pattern, we could see the annual report published as early as Tue, April 15, 2025 (which includes the usual 15-day late filing extension). Note that in 2024 he filed the FY2023 annual report on April 15, 2024 (followed by two updates).
The Worst Case Scenario is Thur, May 15, 2025
Technically, GDVM is a Pink Limited ticker. The last date to publish annual financial statements (including the usual 15-day late filing extension) for Pink Limited tickers is Thur, May 15, 2025.
So, in my opinion, the expected date for when we could see a published annual report falls in the range: Tue, April 15, 2025 to Thur, May 15, 2025.

You are correct, ChuckBits. I had said that it was because the date had passed. But, in fact, as you stated, a Q4 quarterly report is never done. The annual report covers the whole year, including Q4. I've never seen any company file a quarterly AND an annual? So yes, we won't see a quarterly. https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=175842248
Only 3 quarterly reports are required (Q1, Q2, and Q3). The annual report is where you will find information about Q4.
The exact filing dates depend on the organizationβs fiscal year, but it is necessary to file three 10-Q reports each year. A 10-Q for the final quarter of the year is not required: A company files Form 10-K, an annual report, instead. This report, unlike the 10-Q, is audited and tends to contain more details. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/1/10q.asp

I understand what you're saying about the quarterlies:
Aside from that Melvin has never provided quarterly figures, (unless it's Q1)Actually, he did publish Q1, Q2, and Q3 "Quarterly Reports" in FY2024. At least, that's what the titles on the reports say. But, inside those reports he reported cumulative financials, 3-months, 6-months, and 9-months. So, you had to manually extract the quarterly financials. See my pinned post https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=175456356 where I broke out the quarterly revenue. But I agree with you, they're not formatted like your typical quarterly report.

Yes, I agree. Tue, April 15, 2025 is probably the earliest. Could easily be April 30, 2025. My thinking was he publishes Qs even though they're not required for Pink Limited, so he kind of follows a Pink Current timeline. Also, I don't think a full Annual Report is required for Pink Limited, just the financial statements. So, again, he kind of follows the Pink Current guidelines. So, that's why I was leaning towards the Tue, April 15, 2025 date. But, that's as far as it goes. I'm not expecting audited financial statements, for example. But, it would be nice!

There's a lot of dates in your post covering various reporting standards. Since GDVM is a "Limited Information" filer, they have 120 days to file the annual report. Therefore, it's due on April 30th. (As you included in your post)
Aside from that Melvin has never provided quarterly figures, (unless it's Q1) I've never seen any company file a quarterly AND an annual? So yes, we won't see a quarterly.
Also, Melvin filed 3 annual reports for 2023. 1 on 4/15/24 and 2 amended reports on 5/2/24!
While anything is possible, I highly doubt we'll see anything before April 30, 2025.
Cheers
