ITEM 1. BUSINESS
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K, including the sections entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Business,” contains “forward-looking statements” that include information relating to future events, future financial performance, strategies, expectations, competitive environment, regulation and availability of resources. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding: proposed new products or services; our statements concerning litigation or other matters; statements concerning projections, predictions, expectations, estimates or forecasts for our business, financial and operating results and future economic performance; statements of management’s goals and objectives; trends affecting our financial condition, results of operations or future prospects; our financing plans or growth strategies; and other similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. Words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “future,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes” and “estimates,” and similar expressions, as well as statements in future tense, identify forward-looking statements.
1
Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by which, that performance or those results will be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on information available at the time they are made and/or management’s good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements. We assume no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting forward-looking information, except to the extent required by applicable securities laws. If we do update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements.
With respect to this discussion, the terms “we” “us” “our” and the “Company” refer to Carriage House Event Center, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiary.
Carriage House Event Center, Inc. (“we, “us,” “our,” the “Company” or “Carriage House”) was incorporated in the state of Colorado on June 26, 2010. On September 11, 2018, we formed a wholly owned subsidiary company, Blue Carriage Events, Inc. As of the date of this filing, we have not conducted any business through the Company or through our subsidiary. Our principal executive offices are located at 558 Castle Pines Parkway, B-4 Suite 140 Castle Pines, Colorado, 80108 Telephone 303-517-8845.
Operations
The Company was formed for the purpose of researching and developing the concept of an Event Center with many additional associated businesses on the grounds of the Event Center.
We have not generated revenue to date. Our operations since 2010 to date have consisted of extensive research of our concept and filing an S-1 registration statement and filings forms 10-K and 10-Q with the SEC.
After the shares offered on our S-1 Registration Statement filed in 2020 were sold, our management and related parties continue to own over a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company. As of December 31, 2024, management and affiliates own 4,120,000 shares (92.6%) and the shareholders holding the free stock own 300,000 shares (6.7%) . As a result, management has the ability to determine the outcome on all matters requiring approval of our shareholders, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions.
The brokerage firm that filed the 15c2-11 with FINRA in 2022 was finally able to get the Company cleared with The Depository Trust Clearing Corporation (DTCC) in September of 2024. As a result, the stock of the company can now trades over-the-counter. This long delay in getting DTC eligibility had an extremely negative effect on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and therefore move ahead with our business plan.
The Impact of Covid-19 Pandemic on Business Operations.
The Covid-19 Pandemic has had a dramatic effect on the Company and on the entire event center business from 2020 and into 2024. The event center business has always been based on events comprising large groups of 50 to 1,000 or more. During the pandemic, most cities and states would not allow meetings of groups of any size. This virtually stopped the event center business during the pandemic.
The event center business is based heavily on the wedding business as weddings held in event centers are typically scheduled a year or more in advance.
According to “The Wedding Report, “a firm that records and disseminates information on weddings held in most cities and in every state, weddings that were scheduled to be held in 2021, 2022 and going into 2023 in event centers were rescheduled, canceled, and held in homes or other venues with much smaller groups than originally planned. During that period, the event center business was virtually shut down and has not yet fully recovered.
While the event center business began to recover in 2023, and continues to recover in 2024, according to “The Wedding Report” bookings and guest counts are still significantly lower than prior to the Pandemic.
The Covid-19 Pandemic and other circumstances negatively affected the event center business as a whole and ultimately our ability to raise capital and move forward with our original business plan. While the Company completed an S-1 offering in 2022 and became a public company, the Company intended to raise additional capital through private offerings to move ahead with its business plan of developing an Event Center. It became impossible to raise capital on the Event Center concept. However, now that the Pandemic has subsided, and the Company is now eligible for trading on the over-the-counter market, the Company intends to move forward with its original business plan of raising additional capital and developing an active Event Center.
2
On June 6, 2023, the Company filed a Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission declaring a Change in Shell Company Status whereby the Company is no longer a shell company. In Form 8-K the Company stated how the effect of the COVID-19 Pandemic had a dramatic effect on the fundraising and progress of the Company and now the Company was prepared to move forward.
On June 1, 2023, the Company entered into a letter of intent to purchase an 8050 Sq. Ft. building in Mesa, Maricopa County, Arizona. There was a delay as to when the present tenants would move out. The agreements were renewed in December of 2024. When completed, the purchase will be funded with common or preferred stock of the Company and debt. On December 18, 2023, the letter of intent was amended stating the LOI would remain open for execution until July 30, 2024. It is expected that the transaction may be completed in the first quarter of 2025.
Our focus for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, will be on continuing our attempt to raise additional capital, increasing research as to the overall concept, contacting companies that could possibly be a part of the Carriage House Event Center concept, locating possible Event Center locations and completing a transaction on a facility. The officers of the Company may also seek to find a good candidate for a merger of the Company that would be of benefit to shareholders.
If the Company is unable to raise the required funds to fulfill its business plan, the Company may seek other opportunities including a possible merger, acquisition and/or change of our business plan.
General Information
We are a startup company, have not generated revenues and have a short operating history. Our independent auditor has issued an audit opinion which includes a statement expressing substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our plan is to attempt to continue with our business plan of developing a unique Event Center. Toward that goal the Company has entered into a Letter of Intent to purchase an 8050 Sq. Ft. building in Mesa, Arizona. When completed, the purchase will be funded with common or preferred stock of the Company and debt.
If circumstances continue to impact the Event Center business negatively, and our ability to raise additional capital, the company may have to move in a different direction, including seeking a possible merger candidate for the Company.
Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company
We qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined under the Securities Act. As a result, we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are otherwise applicable to public companies. These provisions include, but are not limited to:
| • | not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended (or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act); |
| • | reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports, proxy statements and registration statements; and |
| • | exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. |
In addition, an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This provision allows an emerging growth company to delay the adoption of some accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to avail ourselves of this extended transition period. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest to occur of: (i) our reporting $1.07 billion or more in annual gross revenues; (ii) the end of fiscal year 2024; (iii) our issuance, in a three-year period, of more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt; and (iv) the end of the fiscal year in which the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeded $700 million on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter.
Competition
There are event centers in almost every city. These Centers can vary in size and the number of guests that they can accommodate. For example, there are over 40 facilities acting as event centers of various types in the Denver metropolitan area and over 30 in the Phoenix area. These facilities include those that were constructed to be an event center, and older buildings such as homes, restaurants and churches converted into event centers. In addition, hotels with event facilities, restaurants with rooms for events, golf clubs, museums, community centers special facilities open to the public, could all be considered competition.
3
Because the concept of Carriage House Event Center is far different than most, we would hope that we could be competitive to other event centers within a given geographical location.
There is no assurance that we will be able to compete with the existing event centers, those that hold events of all kinds, or new event centers that may be built in the future.
Many of our current and potential competitors may have advantages over us including:
• | Longer operating histories and greater market presence, |
• | Better name recognition, |
• | Access to larger customer bases, |
• | Economies of scale and cost structure advantages, and |
• | Greater sales and marketing, programming, distribution, technical, financial and other resources. |
These competitors also have established or may establish financial or strategic relationships among themselves or third parties. In addition, some of our competitors have used or may use aggressive pricing or promotional strategies, have stronger relationships on more favorable terms with retail outlets. These relationships may affect the ability of potential customers to purchase our products.
We operate in a highly competitive environment for event centers. The majority of our competitors possess and employ financial, technical and personnel resources substantially greater than ours, which can be particularly important in the areas in which we plan to operate. Those companies may be able to pay more for facilities and personnel than our financial resources permit.

ITEM 6. [RESERVED]
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
Overview
Carriage House Event Center, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Colorado on June 26, 2010. On September 11, 2018; we formed a wholly owned subsidiary company, Blue Carriage Events, Inc. a Colorado corporation. None of our operations are conducted through this entity. Our principal executive offices are located at 558 Castle Pines Parkway B-4 Suite 140, Castle Pines, Colorado, 80108, telephone 303-730-7939.
We are a company formed for the purpose of developing a unique Event Center, encompassing a variety of additional services in the same location. However, both the Covid-19 Pandemic and the Company stock not being able to trade on the over-the-counter market has had a dramatic effect on the progress of the Company. If circumstances continue to impact the development of our business plan, the Company may have to move in a different direction, including seeking a possible merger candidate for the Company.
The Year Ended December 31, 2024 Compared To The Year Ended December 31, 2023
For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we did not earn any revenue.
Operating expenses
For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 we had general and administrative expenses of $27,105 and $15,434, respectively, an increase of $11,671 or 75.6% . The increase in the current year can be attributed to an increase of $10,000 for advisory fees related to DTC.
Net Loss
For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, our net loss was $27,105 and $15,434, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our cash balance on December 31, 2024 was $31,901, with $184,800 in loans payable to related parties. If we experience a shortage of funds in the next twelve months, we may utilize additional funds from our director, A. Terry Ray, who has agreed to advance funds for operations, however there is no formal commitment, arrangement or legal obligation to advance or loan funds to us.
Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $28,105 for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $14,434 used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Investing Activities
We neither generated nor used cash in investing activities during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
Financing Activities
Cash flows provided by financing activities were $31,000 and $42,000 during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. All cash received was from related party loans.
We have not yet generated sustained profits from our operations. Our independent registered public accountants have expressed a "going concern" opinion. As of December 31, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $187,049.
While our current burn rate is nominal, it is expected that our costs of operations will continue to exceed revenues, primarily due to the costs associated with being a public reporting company. Based upon our current business plan, we will continue to incur losses in the foreseeable future and there can be no assurances that we will ever establish profitable operations. These and other factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
6
Going Concern and Plan of Operation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, we incurred net loss of $27,105 for the year ended December 31, 2024, and have an accumulated deficit of $187,049 as of December 31, 2024, 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 be assured that such financing will be available on acceptable terms.
Our current management has agreed to advance funds to the Company on an “as needed” basis. Should existing management, stockholders or our affiliates refuse to advance needed funds, however, we would be forced to turn to outside parties to either lend funds to us or buy our securities. There is no assurance that we will be able to raise the necessary funds, when needed, from outside sources.
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. Our auditors have included a “going concern” qualification in their Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants accompanying our audited financial statements appearing elsewhere herein which cites substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. 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.
Our plan of operation for the fiscal year 2025 will be to attempt to raise the capital needed to construct the event center and pursue those companies that would desire to be a part of the overall concept.
We anticipate spending $14,000 on professional fees, including fees payable for complying with reporting obligations, $2,000 in general administrative costs and $1,500 in working capital. Total expenditure over the next 12 months are therefore expected to be approximately $17,500.
Management intends to keep the Company current in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and maintain compliance going forward.
Significant Accounting Policies
Refer to Note 2 of our financial statements contained elsewhere in this Form 10-K for a summary of our significant accounting policies and recently adopting and issued accounting standards.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

REPORT OF
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders & Board of Directors
Carriage House Event Center, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying restated balance sheet of Carriage House Event Center, Inc as of December 31, 2023 and 2024 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 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 #3 to the financial statements, although the Company has limited operations 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 #1. 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.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2024.

CARRIAGE HOUSE EVENT CENTER, INC.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2024
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Carriage House Events Center, Inc. (the “Company” or “We”) was incorporated under the laws of the State Colorado on June 26, 2010. The Company is developing its planned principal operations.
A new corporation, Blue Carriage Events, Inc. (“Blue Carriage”), was formed under the laws of the State of Colorado in September 2018. Blue Carriage issued the Company 100 shares and is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
The Company was formed for the purpose of researching and developing a concept for an Event Center with many additional associated businesses on the same grounds of the Event Center. For several years, the Company did extensive research on Event Centers throughout Colorado, Utah, Nevada and Arizona.
The Covid-19 Pandemic and other circumstances negatively affected the event center business and ultimately our ability to raise capital and move forward with our original business plan. However, now that the Pandemic has subsided, the Company intends to move forward
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) and are reported in United States dollars.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
We maintain our cash in bank deposit accounts, the balances of which at times may exceed federally insured limits. We continually monitor our banking relationships and consequently have not experienced any losses in our accounts. We believe we are not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and Blue Carriage Events, Inc.; wholly-owned subsidiary. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, Blue Carriage had no transactions and has no bank account.
Stock-based Compensation
We account for equity-based transactions with employees and non-employees under the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, which establishes that equity awards issued to employees and non-employees for services are valued at the grant date fair value of the equity award. An expense is recognized over the requisite service or vesting period. The fair value of stock options issued as compensation shall be estimated by using a valuation technique or model that complies with the measurement objective, as described in ASC 718.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with US GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels.
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below:
Level 1: Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
Level 2: Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.
Level 3: Pricing inputs that are generally unobservable inputs and not corroborated by market data.
The carrying amount of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and accrued expenses, approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. The Company’s related party debt approximates the fair value of such instruments based upon management’s best estimate of interest rates that would be available to the Company for similar financial arrangements at December 31, 2024 and 2023.
Income Taxes
The Company follows Section 740-10-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the fiscal year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the fiscal years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the Statements of Income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company follows section 740-10-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Section 740-10-25”) with regards to uncertainty income taxes. Section 740-10-25 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the consolidated financial statements. Under Section 740-10-25, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Section 740-10-25 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. The Company had no material adjustments to its liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits according to the provisions of Section 740-10-25.
Net Income (Loss) per Common Share
Net income (loss) per common share is computed pursuant to ASC 260, Earnings per Share. Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive shares of common stock during the period. The Company has no potentially dilutive shares as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.
Recent Accounting Standards
The Company has reviewed and implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and applicable. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the consolidated financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and 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.
NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred losses since inception and has used mainly related party loans to finance activities during the period from June 26, 2010 (inception) through December 31, 2024, with no resulting revenues. The Company does not have sufficient working capital for its planned activity, and to service its debt, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to achieve a level of profitable operations and/or additional financing impacts the Company’s ability to continue as it is presently organized. Management continues to develop its planned principal operations. Should management be unsuccessful in its operating activities, the Company may substantially curtail or terminate its operations. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
On June 1, 2023, the Company entered into a letter of intent to purchase an 8050 Sq. Ft. building in Mesa, Maricopa County, Arizona. There became a problem as to when the present tenants would vacate the building. The letter of intent was renewed on December 20, 2024
When completed, the purchase will be funded with common or preferred stock of the Company and debt.
Our focus for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, will be on continuing our attempt to raise additional capital, increasing research as to the overall concept, contacting companies that could possibly be a part of the Carriage House Event Center concept and completing a transaction on a facility.
If the Company is unable to raise the required funds to fulfill its business plan, the Company may seek other opportunities including a possible merger, acquisition and/or change of our business plan.
NOTE 4 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company has entered into promissory notes (each a “Note” and collectively the “Notes”) with related parties, Terayco Enterprises, LTD. (“Terayco”) and A. Terry Ray (“Terry Ray”). Terayco is a corporation owned by Phillip E. Ray, the husband of A. Terry Ray, and A. Terry Ray, the officer and director and principal shareholder of the Company. Venture Vest Capital Corp. is a corporation owned by Philip E. Ray.
The Company received proceeds of $55,000 from these parties during the year ended December 31, 2023 and made $13,000 in repayments during the year ended December 31, 2023.

TOTAL | | | | $ | 184,800 | | | | |
All promissory notes are interest free until December 31, 2025 at which time any unpaid balance will bear interest at the rate of 4% per annum.
NOTE 5 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Common Stock
There are 45,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value, authorized, with 4,450,000 shares issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.
The holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders. Holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefore, subject to any preferential dividend rights of outstanding Preferred Stock, which may be authorized and issued in the future. Upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably the net assets available after the payment of all debts and other liabilities, and subject further only to the prior rights of any outstanding Preferred Stock which may be authorized and issued in the future.
The holders of Common Stock have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights. The outstanding shares of Common Stock are, and the shares offered herein will be, when issued and paid for, fully paid and non-assessable. Cumulative voting in the election of directors is not permitted and the holders of a majority of the number of outstanding shares will be in a position to control the election of directors at a general shareholder meeting and may elect all of the directors standing for election. We have no present intention to pay cash dividends to the holders of Common Stock.
Preferred Stock
We have 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock authorized, none of which have been designated. No shares are issued and outstanding.
NOTE 6 – INCOME TAX
Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. The Company is using the U.S. federal income tax rate of 21%.
The provision for Federal income tax consists of the following December 31:
| | 2024 | | | 2023 | |
Federal income tax benefit attributable to: | | | | | | |
Current Operations | $ | (5,700 | ) | $ | (3,200 | ) |
Change in valuation allowance | | 5,700 | | | 3,200 | |
Net provision for Federal income taxes | $ | — | | $ | — | |
The cumulative tax effect at the expected rate of 21% of significant items comprising our net deferred tax amount is as follows:
| | 2024 | | | 2023 | |
Deferred tax asset attributable to: | | | | | | |
Net operating loss carryover | $ | (39,300 | ) | $ | (33,500 | ) |
Less: valuation allowance | | 39,300 | | | 33,500 | |
Net deferred tax asset | $ | — | | $ | — | |
At December 31, 2024, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $187,000 that may be offset against future taxable income. No tax benefit has been reported in the December 31, 2024 or 2023 consolidated financial statements since the potential tax benefit is offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.
Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carry forwards for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur, net operating loss carry forwards may be limited as to use in future years.
ASC 740, Income Taxes, provides guidance on the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements. ASC 740 requires a company to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position. If the more-likely-than-not threshold is met, a company must measure the tax position to determine the amount to recognize in the consolidated financial statements.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various state and local jurisdictions. Federal income tax returns prior to fiscal year 2018 are closed.
The Company includes interest and penalties arising from the underpayment of income taxes in the statements of operations in the provision for income taxes. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.
NOTE 7 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Management has evaluated subsequent events pursuant to the requirements of ASC 855, Subsequent Events, from the balance sheet date through January 23, 2025, the date the consolidated financial statements were issued and has determined that the following material subsequent events exist.
Subsequent to December 31, 2024, the Company repaid $10,000 of the March 31, 2024, note payable to VentureVest Capital Corporation and created a new note on January 8, 2025 for $24,000.
On January 6, 2025 four shareholders of the Company, including A. Terry Ray, Terayco Enterprises, Ltd., DLR Associates, and Janel Jean-Baptiste (Dunda) (collectively, the “Selling Shareholders”), entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (as at any time amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Purchase Agreement”) with Zhonghe Brand Ltd., a company established in the British Virgin Islands (the “Purchaser”) to sell an aggregate of Four Million One Hundred Fifty Thousand (4,150,000) shares of the Company’s common stock, personally owned by Selling Shareholders, which represents approximately 93.26% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company. The closing of the Purchase Agreement became effective on January 22, 2025 (the “Effective Date”).
In addition, on the Effective Date, A Terry Ray and Janel Jean-Baptiste (Dunda), submitted their resignations from all executive officer positions with the Company, including Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Secretary respectively.
Mr. Lei He was appointed as Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and to the Board of the Company, effective immediately. Ms. Ziqian Li was appointed as Secretary of the Company, effective immediately.
Effective January 22, 2024, the letter of intent to purchase the 8050 Sq. Ft. building in Mesa, Maricopa County, Arizona was terminated.
ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURES
On January 17, 2023, the Company was informed that our independent registered public accounting firm since 2022, Pinnacle Accountancy Group of Utah (“Pinnacle”) had sold a portion of its business to GreenGrowth CPAs (“GreenGrowth”) and was resigning.
On January 22, 2024, the Company engaged and executed an agreement with Michael Gillespie & Associates, PLLC (“Gillespie”), as the Company’s new independent accountant to replace Pinnacle.
We have had no “disagreements” (as such term is defined in Item 304 of Regulation S-K) with our Accountant on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures.
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 principal 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. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded such controls and procedures to be ineffective as of December 31, 2024, 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.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
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) under the Exchange Act, for the Company.
Our internal control over financial reporting is the process designed by and under the supervision of our CEO and CFO, 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. Management has 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.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our CEO and CFO, or the persons performing similar functions, our management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, and concluded that it is not effective because of the material weakness described below:
In connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, 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 Exchanges Commission due to the lack of resources and segregation of duties. The Company has not established an audit committee and lacks documentation of its internal control processes. 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.
F-10
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
During the period ended December 31, 2024, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Securities Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We intend to recruit additional professionals, as our business conditions warrant, to ensure that we include all necessary disclosure 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 in place and trained, we cannot provide assurance that 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.

Significant Employees
We have no significant employees other than our officers.
Director or Officer Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
During the past five (5) years, none of the following occurred with respect to one of our present or former directors or executive officers: (1) any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two (2) years prior to that time; (2) any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); (3) being subject to any order, judgment or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of any competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; and (4) being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Commodities Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires a company’s directors, officers, and stockholders who beneficially own more than 10% of any class of equity securities of the Company registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act (collectively referred to herein as the “Reporting Persons”), to file initial statements of beneficial ownership of securities and statements of changes in beneficial ownership of securities with respect to the company’s equity securities with the SEC. All Reporting Persons are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all reports that such Reporting Persons file with the SEC pursuant to Section 16(a).
Based solely on review of the copies of such forms furnished to Carriage House Event Center's directors have not filed their reports as of the date of this Annual Report.
Code of Ethics
We have not yet adopted a code of ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller or persons performing similar functions.
20
Corporate Governance
There have been no changes 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.
Nominating Committee
We have not adopted any procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to our board of directors.
Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert
We do not currently have an audit committee financial expert, nor do we have an audit committee. Our board of directors, which currently consists of Ms. A. Terry Ray handles the functions that would otherwise be handled by an audit committee. We do not currently have the capital resources to pay director fees to a qualified independent expert who would be willing to serve on our board and who would be willing to act as an audit committee financial expert. As our business expands and as we appoint others to our board of directors we expect that we will seek a qualified independent expert to become a member of our board of directors. Before retaining any such expert our board would make a determination as to whether such person is independent.
