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, 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 nominal 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 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 began AI development work utilizing unique artificial intelligence (AI) language model persona, creating AI agent applications uniquely suited for a variety of industrial, commercial and enterprise applications. The AI coding and language modeling is handled through the Company's K-Project division.
In January 2025, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary LOOT8, Inc. launched its "Singer and Song Writer Contest" on its Web3 social media platform. Contestants performed unique and original songs live on the platform and the winner received $900 and was able to perform with country music stars at Nashville's CRS (Country Radio Seminar) in February 2025. LOOT8, Inc. received a small sponsorship amount from a sponsor in the amount of $1,500. Even though the event was a great success in terms of showcasing the attributes of the LOOT8, Inc.'s web3 technical and social media attributes the cost to launch the contest outweighed the sponsorship amounts received.
During the three months and nine months ending September 30, 2025, the Company's K-Project division worked tirelessly on its SAID (Speech Artificial Intelligence On Demand) translation application (App). The App allows for almost instantaneously translations on any device without any internet and cloud connectivity. Management believes that the App could have an enormous application for a number of industry wide uses, including but not limited to health care, first responders, travel, sports, law enforcement, governmental agencies, and other industries. The App is available on all platforms for end-users seeking immediate and effortless translations of over approximately one hundred (100+) different languages.
GRHI's management business plan is to fully deploy, market 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 not 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.

On February 6, 2025, the Company announced that Anthony Denkinger was appointed as Chief Operations Officer (COO) of Gold Rock Holdings, Inc. Mr. Denkinger doesn't have a compensation agreement with Gold Rock Holdings, Inc. but does have a compensation agreement with the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, LOOT8, Inc. Mr. Denkinger.

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.
The Company's 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 (See Note 4 in Financial Statements).

Cash Provided by Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $-0- for nine months ended September 30, 2025, and for nine months ended September 30, 2024, it was $425,700 from cash received from Sale of Common Stock and $700 from Capital Contributions from Directors.
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.
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.
