SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
PART I
Except for historical information, this report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Such forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including, among other things, statements regarding our business strategy, future revenues and anticipated costs and expenses. Such forward-looking statements include, among others, those statements including the words “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “believes” and similar language. Our actual results may differ significantly from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, our business reliance on third parties to provide us with technology, our ability to integrate and manage acquired technology, assets, companies and personnel, changes in market condition, the volatile and intensely competitive environment in the business sectors in which we operate, rapid technological change, and our dependence on key and scarce employees in a competitive market for skilled personnel. These factors should not be considered exhaustive; we undertake no obligation to release publicly the results of any future revisions we may make to forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, as well as those discussed in the section “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. We undertake no obligation to publicly release any revisions to the forward-looking statements or reflect events or circumstances taking place after the date of this document.
Item 1. Business.
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, 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 Artificial Intelligence (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 unique experiences.
LOOT8, Inc. currently in its infancy in marketing its Web3 online platform 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 collectibles and fan engagements. Key initiatives include athletes’, musicians’, and influencers’ 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 anticipated revenue stream targets the youth market. LOOT8 plans to leverage high-profile athletes, musicians, and influencers to create personalized, customizable avatars. 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 anticipated stream will utilize an enterprise model, leveraging Marcus Daley, GRHI’s CEO’s background with NeuralMetrics, towards Software as a Service (SaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS) licensing models. The Company plans to focus on Annual Contract Value (ACV) and Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) from corporate clients. This approach will allow the Company to address enterprise needs in digital agent, persona and workflow solutions that accelerate existing business use-cases. For purposes of authenticity and compliance, the offerings optionally leverage digital product passport type solutions that address regulations in Europe and similar use-cases globally.
In June 2024, the Company opened its K-Project Artificial Intelligence (AI) division that currently offers AI coding and language learning tools. The K-Project division’s AI operations seeks to integrate its AI technology applications and software solutions across various industries, creating and deploying AI personas.
GRHI’s management business plan is to fully deploy, market and and utilize its LOOT8 platform, expanding blockchain innovation in digital assets, the SocialFi revolution, and expanding into direct-to-business relationships, and build forward it’s K Project Division, focusing on its AI software solutions and programs. The K- Project expects to expand its sale and marketing of its unique language learning services and other AI initiatives tools that can be utilized to create specific AI personas for a number of industries, including but no limited to health care, law enforcement, governmental agencies, education, shipping logistics, travel, and other industries. The K Project has (1) one customer who is receiving AI persona coding services for the client’s specific operational needs.
Gold Rock Holdings, Inc. maintains an executive office in Virginia Beach, Virginia where all marketing, sales, and customer supports activities are implemented.

As of December 31, 2024, we were authorized to issue 850,000,000 shares, $0.001 par value, of our common stock, of which 238,136,969 shares were outstanding. Our shares of common stock are held by approximately 170 stockholders of record. The number of record holders was determined from the records of our transfer agent and does not include beneficial owners of our common stock whose shares are held in the names of various securities brokers, dealers, and registered clearing agencies.
Preferred Stock
We are authorized to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of our preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, from time to time in one or more series. As of the date of this prospectus, no shares of preferred stock have been issued. Our Board of Directors, without further approval of our stockholders, is authorized to fix the dividend rights and terms, conversion rights, voting rights, redemption rights, liquidation preferences and other rights and restrictions relating to any series of preferred stock that may be issued in the future.
On January 11, 2024, the board of directors adopted a resolution designating 20,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. Each of these shares has a par value of $0.001, is not entitled to dividends, has voting rights equal to 25 common votes per share, has the same liquidation rights as common and are not convertible. After this designation, the Company still has 30,000,000 blank check preferred stock, par value, $0.001 per share available for designation. The Company has no preferred shares issued and outstanding at this time.
Issuances of shares of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible financings, acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could, among other things, adversely affect the voting power of the holders of our common stock and prior series of preferred stock then outstanding.
| -3- |
Dividends
We have not paid or declared any dividends on our common stock, nor do we anticipate paying any cash dividends or other distributions on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Any future dividends will be declared at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend, among other things, on our earnings, if any, our financial requirements for future operations and growth, and other facts as our board of directors may then deem appropriate.
ITEM 6. Selected Financial Data.
Not applicable.
ITEM 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION SHOULD BE READ TOGETHER WITH THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND RELATED NOTES INCLUDED ELSEWHERE IN THIS ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K.
The following discussion reflects the results of our operations. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements which are attached to this report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements, including statements regarding our expected financial position, business and financing plans. These statements involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from the results described in or implied by these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those discussed below and elsewhere in this report, particularly under the headings “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
Unless the context otherwise suggests, “we,” “our,” “us,” and similar terms, as well as references to “GRHI” or “Gold Rock” all refer to Gold Rock Holdings, Inc. as of the date of this report.
Going Concern
On December 31, 2024, we had total assets of $253,614 and total liabilities of $78,400. In the absence of significant revenue and profits, we will be completely dependent on additional debt and equity financing. If we are unable to raise needed funds on acceptable terms, we will not be able to execute our business plan, develop or enhance existing services, take advantage of future opportunities, if any, or respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated requirements. If we do not obtain sufficient capital, we will not be able to continue operations.
As of December 31, 2024, Gold Rock Holdings, Inc. had an accumulated deficit of $1,106,731, which included a net loss of $240,694. Also, during the year ended December 31 2024, we used net cash of $216,914 for operating activities. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
While we are attempting to generate revenues, our cash position may not be significant enough to support our daily operations. Management intends to raise additional funds by way of an offering of our debt or equity securities (See Item 9B- Other Information). Management believes that the actions presently being taken to further implement our business plan and generate revenues provide the opportunity for Gold Rock Holdings, Inc. to continue as a going concern. While we believe in the viability of our business strategy to generate revenues and in our ability to raise additional funds, we may not be successful.
Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our capability to further implement our business plan and generate revenues.
Results of Operations
Year Ended December 31, 2024 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:
As of December 31, 2024, our assets totaled 253,614 that consist of $209,614 in cash and $44,000 in account receivable. The Company’s total liabilities were 78,400 which consisted of accounts payable and accrued expenses and accrued board of director compensation fees. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $1,106,731 and working capital of $175,214.
For the year ended December 31, 2024, net cash used in operations of $216,194 was the result of a net loss of $240,694, from an increase in accounts receivables of $44,000, a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $8,500 and from an increase in accrued board of directors’ compensation of $77,000.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, net cash used in operations of $22,258 was the result of a net loss of $231,311, from common stock issued for board of director and consulting services of $172,000 and from common stock issued to prepay director for payment of operating expenses of $29,000 and from the increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $8,725.
The Company’s significant operating losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. 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. For the next 12 months the Company has an oral commitment from its CEO, Marcus Daley, to advance funds as necessary to meeting our operating requirement.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $0 for both calendar years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023.
Cash from Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $425,700 for year ended December 31, 2024, and was $21,410 for year ended December 31, 2023.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our consolidated 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 impairment of long-lived assets.
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, 2021. 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.
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.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Operating Officer (our principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer), we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (“Disclosure Controls”) as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-K. The Disclosure Controls evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Disclosure Controls are controls and procedures designed to reasonably assure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Form 10-K, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure Controls are also designed to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The evaluation of our Disclosure Controls included a review of the controls’ objectives and design, our implementation of the controls and the effect of the controls on the information generated for use in this Form 10-K. Throughout the course of our evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting, we advised our Board of Directors that we had identified a material weakness as defined under standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weakness we identified is discussed in “Internal Control Over Financial Reporting” below. Our Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as a result of the material weakness, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, our Disclosure Controls were not effective.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting; as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act.
Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of inherent limitations, a system of 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 due to change in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our management, including our principal operating officer and principal accounting officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework.
Based on our evaluation, our management concluded that there is a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. The material weakness identified did not result in the restatement of any previously reported financial statements or any related financial disclosure, nor does management believe that it had any effect on the accuracy of the Company’s financial statements for the current reporting period.
| ● | The Company has inadequate segregation of duties within its cash disbursement control design. |
| ● | During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company internally performed all aspects of its financial reporting process, including, but not limited to the underlying accounting records and the recording of journal entries and for the preparation of financial statements. This process was deficient, because these duties were performed often times by the same people, and therefore a lack of review was created over the financial reporting process that might result in a failure to detect errors in spreadsheets, calculations, or assumptions used to compile the financial statements and related disclosures as filed with the SEC. These control deficiencies could result in a material misstatement to our interim or annual financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. |
| ● | The Company is continuing the process of remediating its control deficiencies. However, the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting that has been identified will not be remediated until numerous internal controls are implemented and operate for a period of time, are tested, and the Company is able to conclude that such internal controls are operating effectively. The Company cannot provide assurance that these procedures will be successful in identifying material errors that may exist in the financial statements. The Company cannot make assurances that it will not identify additional material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting in the future. Management plans, as capital becomes available to the Company, to increase the accounting and financial reporting staff and provide future investments in the continuing education and public company accounting training of our accounting and financial professionals. |
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. |
| -6- |
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 December 31, 2024. In making this assessment, management used the May 2013 updated criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control over Financial Reporting - Guidance for Smaller Public Companies.
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.
Because of the material weakness described above, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2024 our internal control over financial reporting was not effective based on the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by COSO. There has been no change in our internal controls that occurred during our most recent fiscal period that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to affect, our internal controls.
In May 2013, the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) released an updated version of its Internal Control - Integrated Framework (“2013 Framework”), Initially issued in 1992, the original framework (“1992 Framework”) provided guidance to organizations to design, implement and evaluate the effectiveness of internal control concepts and simplify their use and application. The 2013 Framework is intended to improve upon systems of internal control over external financial reporting by formalizing the principles embedded in the 1992 Framework, incorporating business and operating environment changes and increasing the framework ease of use and application. The 1992 Framework remained available until December 15, 2014, after which it was superseded by the 2013 Framework. The Company did not experience significant changes to its internal control over financial reporting as a result of the transition to the 2013 Framework.
This annual 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 SEC that permit smaller reporting companies like us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

To the Shareholders, Board of Directors & Shareholders
Gold Rock Holdings, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying restated balance sheets of Gold Rock Holdings, Inc. as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit, cash flows, and the related notes (collectively referred to as “financial statements”) for the years then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years December 31, 2024 and 2023 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 #4 to the financial statements, although the Company has limited operations and it has yet to attain profitability. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plan in regard to these matters is also described in Note #4. 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 the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. 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 audit, 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 audit 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.
/S/
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2024.

NOTE 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
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 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.
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.
Accounts Receivable
The Company considers accounts receivable to be fully collectible. Accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts is required. If amounts become uncollectible, they will be charged to operations when that determination is made.
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.

NOTE 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Continued
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 Contracts with 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.
