TABLE OF CONTENTS

PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Baynon International Corp. (“Baynon”), formerly known as Technology Associates Corporation, was originally incorporated on February 29, 1968, under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. On December 28, 1989, Baynon reincorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada. Baynon was formerly engaged in the technology marketing business. Baynon has not engaged in any business operations since 2003.
Baynon is considered a blank check company for purposes of this report. As defined in Section 7(b)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, a blank check company is a development stage company that has no specific business plan or purpose or has indicated that its business plan is to engage in a merger or an acquisition with an unidentified company or companies and is issuing "penny stock" securities as defined in Rule 3(a)(51) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Baynon's current business plan is to attempt to identify and negotiate with a business target for the merger of that entity with and into Baynon. In certain instances, a target company may wish to become a subsidiary of Baynon or may wish to contribute or sell assets to Baynon rather than to merge. No assurances can be given that Baynon will be successful in identifying or negotiating with any target company. Baynon seeks to provide a method for a foreign or domestic private company to become a reporting or public company whose securities are qualified for trading in the United States secondary markets.
A business combination with a target company normally will involve the transfer to the target company of the majority of the issued and outstanding common stock of Baynon, and the substitution by the target company of its own management and board of directors. No assurances can be given that Baynon will be able to enter into a business combination, or, if Baynon does enter into such a business combination, no assurances can be given as to the terms of a business combination, or as to the nature of the target company.
Baynon has not engaged in any business operations since 2003. The current and proposed business activities described herein classify Baynon as a blank check company. The Securities and Exchange Commission and many states have enacted statutes, rules and regulations limiting the sale of securities of blank check companies. Management does not intend to undertake any efforts to cause a market to develop in Baynon's securities until such time as Baynon has successfully implemented its business plan described herein.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Not applicable to a smaller reporting company.
ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
Baynon has no properties and at this time has no agreements to acquire any properties. Baynon currently uses for its principal place of business the home office of Pasquale Catizone, an officer and director of Baynon, at no cost to Baynon, an arrangement which management expects will continue until Baynon completes an acquisition or merger.

Holders. There were approximately 533 record holders of Baynon's common stock as of March 26, 2020.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Forward-looking Statements
Statements in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation, as well as in certain other parts of this Annual report on Form 10-K (as well as information included in oral statements or other written statements made or to be made by Baynon) that look forward in time, are forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, expectations, predictions, and assumptions and other statements which are other than statements of historical facts. Although Baynon believes such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that any forward-looking statements will prove to be correct. Such forward-looking statements are subject to, and are qualified by, known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by those statements. These risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to Baynon’s ability to estimate the impact of competition and of industry consolidation and risks, uncertainties and other factors set forth in Baynon’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including without limitation to this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Baynon undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this Form 10-K.

Critical Accounting Policies
The following discussion as well as disclosures included elsewhere in this Form 10-K, are based upon our audited financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingencies. Baynon continually evaluates the accounting policies and estimates used to prepare the financial statements. Baynon bases its estimates on historical experiences and assumptions believed to be reasonable under current facts and circumstances. Actual amounts and results could differ from these estimates made by management.
Trends and Uncertainties
There are no material commitments for capital expenditure at this time. There are no trends, events or uncertainties that have had or are reasonably expected to have a material impact on our limited operations. There are no known causes for any material changes from period to period in one or more line items of Baynon’s financial statements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At December 31, 2019, Baynon had a cash balance of $5,349 which represents a $8,459 decrease from the $13,808 balance at December 31, 2018. Net cash used in operations totaled $28,459. During 2019 and 2018, Baynon did not pursue any investing activities. During 2019, Baynon received proceeds from a related party’s note payable of $20,000, resulting in net proceeds provided by financing activities of $20,000. During 2018, Baynon did not purse any financing activities. The decrease in cash was primarily the result of satisfying the requirements of a reporting company.
The focus of Baynon’s efforts is to acquire or develop an operating business. Despite no active operations at this time, management intends to continue in business and has no intention to liquidate Baynon. Baynon has considered various business alternatives including the possible acquisition of an existing business, but to date has found possible opportunities unsuitable or excessively priced. Baynon does not contemplate limiting the scope of its search to any particular industry. Management has considered the risk of possible opportunities as well as their potential rewards. Management has invested time evaluating several proposals for possible acquisition or combination; however, none of these opportunities were pursued. Baynon presently owns no real property and at this time has no intention of acquiring any such property. Baynon’s sole expected expenses are comprised of professional fees primarily incident to its reporting requirements.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, Baynon has incurred losses of $28,129 and $23,265 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, has a working capital and stockholder’s deficiency and lack of revenue generating operations, all which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Management believes the Company will continue to incur losses and negative cash flows from operating activities for the foreseeable future and will need additional equity or debt financing to sustain its operations until it can achieve profitability and positive cash flows, if ever. Management plans to seek additional debt and/or equity financing for the Company but cannot assure that such financing will be available on acceptable terms.
The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to ultimately attain profitable operations, generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations, and obtain additional financing as may be required.
7
Our auditors have included a going concern qualification in their auditors’ report dated March 26, 2020. Such a going concern qualification may make it more difficult for us to raise funds when needed. The outcome of this uncertainty cannot be assured.
The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. There can be no assurance that management will be successful in implementing its business plan or that the successful implementation of such business plan will actually improve Baynon’s operating results.
Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2019 compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2018
Baynon incurred a net loss of $28,129 in 2019 versus a net loss of $23,265 in 2018. General and administrative expenses were $21,935 in 2019 compared to $17,882 in 2018, an increase of $4,053. The increase was a result of an increase of legal and stock transfer fees charged.
General and administrative expenses, which consist of fees paid for legal, accounting, auditing and stock transfer services, were incurred primarily to enable Baynon to satisfy the requirements of a reporting company.
During the current and prior year, Baynon did not record an income tax benefit due to the uncertainty associated with Baynon’s ability to merge with an operating company, which might permit Baynon to avail itself of these advantages and the Company’s ability to utilize the net operating loss carryforwards may be limited by a potential merger.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standard if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
None.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Baynon International Corporation
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Baynon International Corporation (the "Company") as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficiency, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern
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's recurring losses from operations, stockholders’ deficiency and working capital deficiency, and lack of revenue generating operations, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
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 are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting 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.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A 100% valuation allowance was provided at December 31, 2019 and 2018 as it is uncertain if the deferred tax assets would be utilized. The increase in the valuation allowance was a result from the increase in the Company’s net operating loss carry forward and accrued interest.
At December 31, 2019, the Company has unused federal net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $477,530, $39,800 of which can be carried forward indefinitely and $437,730 expiring between tax years 2019 through 2037. The Company has New Jersey net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $233,100 expiring between 2030 and 2039.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURES
None.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of December 31, 2019. We do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded such controls and procedures to be not effective as of December 31, 2019 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, 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. Our internal control over financial reporting is the process designed by and under the supervision of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, or the persons performing similar functions, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external reporting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These officers have evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control over Financial Reporting – Guidance for Smaller Public Companies.
Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019 and concluded that it was not effective because of the material weakness described below:
In connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, due to resource constraints, material weaknesses became evident to management regarding our inability to generate all the necessary disclosure for inclusion in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission due to the lack of resources and segregation of duties. A material weakness is a significant deficiency in one or more of the internal control components that alone or in the aggregate precludes our internal controls from reducing to an appropriately low level the risk that material misstatements in our consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the registrant’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the registrant to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
Evaluation of Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have evaluated changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2019. Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, or those persons performing similar functions, did not
19
identify any change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Remediation Plan for Material Weaknesses
At such time that it is economically feasible, we will aggressively recruit experienced professionals to ensure that we maintain adequate segregation of duties and have controls in place to ensure proper disclosures are in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Although we believe that these corrective steps will enable management to conclude that the internal controls over our financial reporting are effective when the staff is trained, we cannot assure you these steps will be sufficient. We may be required to expend additional resources to identify, assess and correct any additional weaknesses in internal control.
Important Considerations
The effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting is subject to various inherent limitations, including cost limitations, judgments used in decision making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the soundness of our systems, the possibility of human error, and the risk of fraud. Moreover, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions and the risk that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate over time. Because of these limitations, there can be no assurance that any system of disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will be successful in preventing all errors or fraud or in making all material information known in a timely manner to the appropriate levels of management.

ITEM 10. DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, PROMOTERS, CONTROL PERSONS, AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Identity of Officers and Directors
Set forth below are the names of the directors and officers of Baynon, all positions and offices with Baynon held, the period during which he has served as such, and his business experience during at least the last five (5) years:

Pasquale Catizone. Mr. Catizone has been president and a director of Baynon since May 1998. Mr. Catizone has been self-employed as a financial consultant for several years.
Daniel Generelli. Mr. Generelli has been Baynon's secretary, treasurer, and a director since October 1, 2001. Since February 1, 2002, Mr. Generelli has been employed as a data base analyst in the Totowa, New Jersey office of IMS Health Inc., a New York Stock Exchange listed firm engaged in data management and processing. Prior thereto from December 1989 to July 1996, Mr. Generelli was Secretary, Treasurer, and a director of J & E Beauty Supply, Inc., a retail and wholesale beauty supply distributor. Prior thereto since 1984, Mr. Generelli was employed as a distribution supervisor by Tags Beauty Supply, a retail and wholesale beauty supply distributor in Fairfield, New Jersey. Mr. Generelli received a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration from Ramapo College of New Jersey in June 1984.
Other than Mr. Catizone and Mr. Generelli, Baynon did not have any significant employees as of the date of this Report. There were no family relationships between any of the officers or directors of Baynon. During the fiscal year covered by this Report, there were no changes to the procedures by which security holders could recommend nominees to Baynon's board of directors.
At this time, Baynon does not have an audit committee because Baynon has not engaged in any business operations since 2003. Baynon's board of directors acts as its audit committee. Similarly, Baynon's board of directors has determined that it does not have an audit committee financial expert as defined under Securities and Exchange Commission rules.
Current Blank Check Companies
No directors or officers of Baynon are presently officers, directors or shareholders in any blank check companies except for Baynon. However, one or both of the officers/directors may, in the future, become involved with additional blank check companies.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act requires Baynon's officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than ten (10%) percent of a class of equity securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the principal exchange upon which such securities are traded or quoted. Reporting Persons are also required to furnish copies of such reports filed pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with Baynon.
Based solely on review of the copies of such forms furnished to Baynon, Baynon's two (2) directors did not file their reports on a timely basis.
21
Code of Ethics
Baynon has not yet adopted a code of ethics. The board of directors anticipates that it will adopt a code of ethics upon identifying and negotiating with a business target for the merger of that entity with and into Baynon, although there is no guarantee that Baynon will be able to enter into such a transaction.
Corporate Governance
We have no change in any state law or other procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to our board of directors. In addition to having no nominating committee for this purpose, we currently have no specific audit committee and no audit committee financial expert. Based on the fact that our current business affairs are simple, any such committees are excessive and beyond the scope of our business and needs.
ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
To date, Baynon has not entered into employment agreements nor are any contemplated.

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The following table sets forth, as of March 26, 2020, certain information regarding the ownership of the common stock by (i) each person known by Baynon to be the beneficial owner of more than five (5%) percent of Common Stock, (ii) each of Baynon's Directors and Named Executive Officers, as such term is defined under Item 402(a)(3) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act, and (iii) all of Baynon's Executive Officers and Directors as a group. Beneficial ownership has been determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act. Under Rule 13d-3 certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (such as where persons share voting power or investment power). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon the exercise of an option) within sixty (60) days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the ownership percentage of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in the following table does not necessarily reflect the person's actual ownership or voting power at any particular date. This table has been prepared based on 43,465,233 common shares outstanding as of March 26, 2020.

(RMSB&G) for the audit of the registrant's annual financial statements and review of the financial statements included in the registrant's Form 10-Q or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, were $8,000 and $10,000 respectively.

Tax Fees
We did not incur any aggregate tax fees and expenses from RMSB&G for the 2019 and 2018 fiscal years for professional services rendered for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning.
All Other Fees
We did not incur any other fees from RMSB&G for the 2019 and 2018 fiscal years.
The board of directors, acting as the Audit Committee considered whether, and determined that, the auditor's provision of non-audit services was compatible with maintaining the auditor's independence.

We intend to continue using RMSB&G solely for audit and audit-related services, tax consultation and tax compliance services, and, as needed, for due diligence in acquisitions.
