NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS- UNAUDITED
NOTE 1 – Organization & Description of Business
The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada in February 1997 as Affordable Homes of America. In March 1999 we merged into Kowtow, Inc. and changed our name to Affordable Homes of America, Inc. On October 12, 2000, we changed our name to World Homes, Inc. and on August 23, 2001, we changed our name to Composite Industries of America, Inc. On September 02, 2004, the Company changed its name to Gold Rock Holdings, Inc. On January 08, 2009, the Company did a name change to The Affordable Homes Group, Inc. On March 01, 2011, the Company changed its name to Global Green Group, Inc. On January 09, 2015, the Company changed its name back to Gold Rock Holdings, Inc., the current name of the Company. In 2019, Gold Rock Holdings, Inc. established itself as a provider of engineering and construction management services producing site-plans, construction drawings, cost computations, fiber network designs, and other related construction services. The Company changed its business model from engineering and construction management services, as a result of a change in control on October 2, 2023. Gold Rock intends to grow and further establish itself through mergers, acquisition and management of technological assets. On December 12, 2023, the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary in the State of Wyoming by the name of LOOT8, Inc. LOOT8, Inc., had no activity through December 31, 2023. LOOT8, Inc. currently is in the beta testing phase of its business and has no revenue. However, it has developed a Web3 content management system (CMS) pioneering the “Relationship Economy” through SocialFi, and a new monetization model. This model is designed to empower individuals with compelling stories to monetize their relationships beyond traditional influencer models.
NOTE 2 – Summary of Significant AccountingPolicies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet has been derived from the December 31, 2023 audited financial statements and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2024 and 2023, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related footnotes included in our Annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Annual Report”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). It is management’s opinion, however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments), have been made which are necessary for fair condensed consolidated financial statements presentation. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations expected for the year ending December 31, 2024.
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Gold Rock Holdings, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiary, Loot8 Inc., (the “Company”). All significant inter-company balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Method of Accounting
The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared and presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents may include time deposits, certificates of deposit, and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents at financial institutions located in the United States, which periodically may exceed federally insured amounts.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS- UNAUDITED
NOTE 2 – Summary of Significant AccountingPolicies - continued
Earnings (Loss) per Share
Earnings (loss) per share of common stock are computed in accordance with FASB ASC 260 “Earnings per Share”. Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing income or loss available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for each period. Diluted earnings per share are calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of shares outstanding assuming conversion of all potentially dilutive stock options, warrants and convertible securities, if dilutive. Common stock equivalents that are anti-dilutive are excluded from both diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding and
diluted earnings (loss) per share.
Stock-Based Compensation
We account for employee and non-employee stock-based compensation in accordance with the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 718,Compensation—Stock Compensation, which requires all share-based payments, including grants of stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and credited to additional paid-in capital over the period during which services are rendered.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The estimated fair values for financial instruments are determined at discrete points in time based on relevant market information. These estimates involve uncertainties and cannot be determined with precision. The carrying amounts of accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value given their short-term nature or effective interest rates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company implemented ASC 606, Revenue from Contractswith Customers. These included the development of new policies based on the five-step model provided in the new revenue standard, ongoing contract review requirements, and gathering of information provided for disclosures.
The Company recognizes revenue and cost of goods sold from product sales or services rendered when control of the promised goods are transferred to our clients in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. To achieve this core principle, we apply the following five steps: identify the contract with the client, identify the performance obligations in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract and recognize revenues when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation.
NOTE 3 – Recently Issued Accounting Standards
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and is evaluating any that may impact its financial statements, including the new lease standard. The Company does not have any leases and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
NOTE 4 – Going Concern
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial
statements have been presented on the basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $1,031,633 at March 31, 2024, which, among other factors, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they are due.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS- UNAUDITED
NOTE 4 – Going Concern – continued
While the Company is attempting to continue operations and generate revenues, the Company’s cash position may not be significant enough to support the Company’s daily operations. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to further implement the Company’s business plan; to expand sales with a dynamic marketing campaign and generate revenues provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to generate revenues and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to further implement its business plan and generate revenues.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION ANDANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following information should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes thereto included in Part I, Item 1, above.
Forward Looking Statements
Certain matters discussed herein are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q involve risks and uncertainties, including statements as to:
· our future strategic plans
· our future operating results;
· our business prospects;
· our contractual arrangements and relationships with third parties;
· the dependence of our future success on the general economy;
· our possible future financing; and
· the adequacy of our cash resources and working capital.
From time to time, we or our representatives have made or may make forward-looking statements, orally or in writing. Such forward-looking statements may be included in, but not limited to, press releases, oral statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer or in various filings made by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Words or phrases "will likely result", "are expected to", "will continue", "is anticipated", "estimate", "project or projected", or similar expressions are intended to identify "forward-looking statements". Such statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to and are accompanied by the above discussion of certain important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements.
The risks identified here are not all inclusive. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all of such risk factors, nor can it assess the impact of all such risk factors on the company's business or the extent to which any factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Accordingly, forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as a prediction of actual results.
The financial information set forth in the following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of Gold Rock Holdings, Inc. included elsewhere herein.
Business
Gold Rock Holdings, Inc., (Gold Rock) a Nevada corporation, is a holding company that acquires technological assets.
The Company changed its business model from engineering and construction management services, produce site-plans, construction drawings, cost computations, fiber network designs, and other related construction services, as a result of a change in control on October 2, 2023.
Gold Rock intends to grow and further establish itself through mergers, acquisitions, and management of technological assets. As such, Gold Rock Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") announced on December 12, 2023, that it formed a Wyoming corporation by the name of LOOT8, Inc. as its operating wholly-owned subsidiary. LOOT8, Inc. acquired certain intellectual property known as "LOOT8." LOOT8 is a Web3 Commerce and Content Management Engine Software. At its core, it harnesses the power of multiple public blockchains alongside the IPFS file system, with a user-friendly interface akin to Web2. LOOT8 is engineered to cater to a variety of enterprise necessities including digital product passports, private communication channels, and loyalty programs, among others. LOOT8 provides enterprises the capability to oversee and manage their content on IPFS nodes, leveraging AI to make the underlying content interactive as a way to enable small businesses and content creators to scale at a faster pace and to create differentiated experiences.
LOOT8, Inc. currently is in the beta testing phase of its business and has no revenue. However, it has developed a Web3 content management system (CMS) pioneering the “Relationship Economy” through SocialFi, and a new monetization model. This model is designed to empower individuals with compelling stories to monetize their relationships beyond traditional influencer models.
The new monetization model is made up of three discrete revenue streams. It is planned that the first stream will be a direct-to-consumer (D2C) model where LOOT8 will employ Web3 technology to manage memorabilia and fan engagement. Key initiatives include a partnership with Perpetual Sports for athletes' Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) rights, and revenue generation through a 10% transaction fee on subscriptions and digital collectible sales. The model also includes a collaboration with LBX Food Robotics for vending machines at universities and other venues, which serve as sales points for digital memorabilia, and the integration of APPIX for real-time notifications on collectible availability. The second revenue stream we anticipate will target the youth market. LOOT8 has partnered with KIPP Charter Schools to introduce customizable AI avatars and companions. This feature is expected to contribute to revenue through a 10% transaction fee on cosmetic items for AI companions’, while maintaining these digital assets on LOOT8’s platform. The third stream anticipated will make use of an enterprise model that will leverage Marcus Daley, GRHI’s CEO, background with NeuralMetrics and towards Software as a Service (SaaS) licensing and advertising-driven models. The Company plans to focus on Annual Contract Value (ACV) and Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) from corporate clients. This will allow the Company to address enterprise needs in digital product passport regulations in Europe and similar use-cases globally.
This acquisition is part of GRHI's management’s plan to change its business plan to more fully develop and utilize the LOOT8 platform, focusing on AI and blockchain innovation in digital assets, the SocialFi revolution, and expanding into direct-to-business relationships.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of FinancialCondition and Results of Operations
Overall Operating Results:
Three Months – March 31, 2024 and 2023 -Statements
The Sales Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were $-0- and $-0-, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company and its LOOT8, Inc. wholly owned subsidiary's Web3 content management system had no revenues, and for the same period ending March 31, 2023, the Company had no revenues from its previous business operations in underground fiber contracting.
The Cost of Goods Sold for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $-0- and the Cost of Goods Sold for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $-0-.
Gross Margins for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was 0%, the Company and its LOOT8, Inc. wholly owned subsidiary's Web3 content management system had no revenues, and during the same period in 2023 was 0%; the Company from its previous business operations had no contracts for the laying of underground fiber and copper cables.
Gross Profit for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $-0- and for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $-0-.
Operating expenses for three months ended March 31, 2024 totaled $165,596 from Board of Directors Compensation, Consulting fees, and General and Administrative Expenses compared to $196,358 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. This decrease in March 31, 2024 compared to the same period ended March 31, 2023 was attributed to decreases in Board of Directors Compensation.
Net Loss:
Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were $165,596 and $196,358, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources:
As of March 31, 2024 the Company’s assets totaled $259,187 which consisted of Cash . Our total liabilities were $83,875. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $1,031,633 and working capital of $175,312.
As indicated herein, we need capital for the implementation of our business plan, and we will need additional capital for continuing our operations. We do not have sufficient revenues to pay our operating expenses at this time. Unless the Company is able to raise working capital, it is likely that the Company will either have to cease operations or substantially change its methods of operations or change its business plan (See Note 4 in Financial Statements).
Gold Rock Holdings, Inc. does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company, or any of its subsidiaries’ operating results, financial position, or cash flow.
Cash Provided by Used in Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were $91,612 and $48, respectively.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $-0- for both the three months periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.
Cash Provided by (Used In) Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $350,700 for three months ended March 31, 2024, from Cash received from Sale of Common Stock and the Capital Contributions from Directors, and was $-0- for three months ended March 31, 2023.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that impact the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies. Critical accounting policies include revenue recognition and stock-based compensation. The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and is evaluating any that may impact its financial statements, including revenue recognition. The Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
Revenue Recognition
In accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"), revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our clients, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. To achieve this core principle, we apply the following five steps: (1) Identify the contract with a client; (2) Identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) Determine the transaction price; (4) Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and (5) Recognize revenues when or as the company satisfies a performance obligation.
We adopted this ASC on January 1, 2019. Although the new revenue standard is expected to have an immaterial impact, if any, on our ongoing net income, we did implement changes to our processes related to revenue recognition and the control activities within them.
| -13- |
| --- |
Stock-Based Compensation
We account for employee and non-employee stock-based compensation in accordance with the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 718,Compensation—Stock Compensation, which requires all share-based payments, including grants of stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and credited to additional paid-in capital over the period during which services are rendered.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and is evaluating any that may impact its financial statements, including revenue recognition. The Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Going Concern
We have incurred net losses since our inception. We anticipate incurring additional losses before realizing growth in revenue and we will depend on additional financing in order to meet our continuing obligations and ultimately to attain profitability. Our ability to obtain additional financing, whether through the issuance of additional equity or through the assumption of debt, is uncertain. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the uncertainty about our ability to continue our business.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURESABOUT MARKET RISK
Not applicable
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes 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.
Based on our evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, after considering the existence of material weaknesses identified, determined that our internal control over financial reporting disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2024.
Evaluation of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets, (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of our management and directors, and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2024. 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 (2013).
| -14- |
| --- |
We identified the following deficiencies which together constitute a material weakness in our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 20243:
| - | The Company has inadequate segregation of duties within its cash disbursement control design. |
|---|---|
| - | During the period ended March 31, 2024, the Company internally performed all aspects of its financial<br>reporting process, including, but not limited to the underlying accounting records and the recording of journal entries and for the preparation<br>of financial statements. This process was deficient, because these duties were performed often times by the same people, and therefore<br>a lack of review was created over the financial reporting process that might result in a failure to detect errors in spreadsheets, calculations,<br>or assumptions used to compile the financial statements and related disclosures as filed with the SEC. These control deficiencies could<br>result in a material misstatement to our interim or annual financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. |
| --- | --- |
It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control system, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
This report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management's report in this annual report.
We regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting to ensure that we maintain an effective internal control environment. If deficiencies appear in our internal controls, management will make changes that address those deficiencies.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the reporting period ended September 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
