NOTE 1 – Summary of History and Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations

Gulf & Orient Steamship Company, LTD. (“Gulf” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Colorado on May 9, 1996. Gulf originally intended to engage in the business of marine transportation.

On December 31, 2018, Gulf entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with High Sierra Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“High Sierra”), and all of its shareholders. The shareholders of High Sierra were issued shares of the Gulf’s common stock on a one for one share basis in exchange for their shares of High Sierra’s common stock. High Sierra became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gulf in the business combination. The Share Exchange was treated as a reverse merger and recapitalization, and as a result, the consolidated financial statements are presented under successor entity reporting, with an inception date of August 6, 2018. Subsequently Gulf’s name was changed to High Sierra Technologies, Inc.

High Sierra Technologies, Inc., the wholly-owned subsidiary, was incorporated in the State of Nevada on August 6, 2018. It was formed with the intention that it would become the assignee, owner and licensor of certain Intellectual Property (the “Intellectual Property”) that was, prior to assignment, the property of Vincent C. Lombardi, Ph.D., who is an officer, director and co-founder of the subsidiary. The subsidiary was further formed with the goal that it would continue to develop and expand its intellectual property portfolio with an emphasis on the recreational cannabis industry as well as the industrial hemp industry.

Through its subsidiary, the Company is a start-up that develops patents and other products used in the processing of cannabis, including industrial hemp, and will license these technologies to companies in the industry. The Company will likely incur research and development expenses in the future and intends to develop a policy regarding the same. The Company was growing industrial hemp on a 200-acre property it leased in McDermitt, Nevada and incurred expenses in relation to this project and the failure of the crop during 2019 (see Note 8).

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Company consolidates its subsidiaries in accordance with ASC 810, and specifically ASC 810-10-15-8 which states, "[t]he usual condition for a controlling financial interest is ownership of a majority voting interest, and, therefore, as a general rule ownership by one reporting entity, directly or indirectly, or over 50% of the outstanding voting shares of another entity is a condition pointing toward consolidation." All inter-company transactions have been eliminated during consolidation.

Concentration of Risk

The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with established financial institutions. At times, such cash and investments may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Based Compensation which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense based on grant date fair values for all share-based awards made to third parties, employees and directors, including stock options.

ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based awards to employees and directors on the date of grant. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as its method of determining fair value for warrants and options. This model is affected by the Company's stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables. These subjective variables include but are not limited to the Company's expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense in the statement of operations over the requisite service period.

Long-lived Assets

Long-lived assets are stated at cost. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is determined using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which is five years.

Where an impairment of a property’s value is determined to be other than temporary, impairment for the estimated potential loss is recorded to adjust the property to its net realizable value.

When items of building or equipment are sold or retired, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the results of operations. The Company does not have any long-lived tangible assets, which are considered impaired as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

The Company applies the provisions of ASC 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment, where applicable to all long-lived assets. ASC 360-10 addresses accounting and reporting for impairment and disposal of long-lived assets. The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used in accordance with ASC 360-10. ASC 360-10 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost of disposal.

Intangible Assets

Goodwill and intangible assets are reviewed for potential impairment in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, whenever events or circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The Company had no such intangibles at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and recorded no impairment losses during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and year ended December 31, 2020. The Company currently writes off all costs related to any intangible assets it has or is acquiring to current operating expenses.

Revenue Recognition

The Company applies ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company will recognize revenue from the commercial sales of products, licensing agreements and contracts to perform pilot studies by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied.

Advertising

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were $0.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company adopted ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which provides a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The standard also expands disclosures about instruments measured at fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets;

Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and

Level 3 — Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of 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 periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made; however actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Emerging Growth Company Critical Accounting Policy Disclosure

The Company qualifies as an “emerging growth company” under the 2012 JOBS Act. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. As an emerging grown company, the Company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. The Company has chosen to “opt out” of such extended transition period, and as a result, the Company will comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740-10-30, Income Taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when 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 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 operations in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company adopted ASC 740-10-25, which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under ASC 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 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. ASC 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 ASC 740-10-25.

Loss Per Share

Net loss per common share is computed pursuant to ASC 260-10-45, Earnings Per Share. Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during each period, unless their effect is anti-dilutive due to continuing losses. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had a total of 106,666 (40,000 from outstanding warrants and 66,666 from convertible notes payable) potentially dilutive shares outstanding. As of June 30, 2020, there were no potentially dilutive shares outstanding.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

We do not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on our results of operations or financial position.

NOTE 2 – Financial Condition and Going Concern

The Company’s financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has sustained operating losses during the current year and may not achieve the level of profitable operations to sustain its activities. These factors raise substantial doubt as to its ability to obtain debt and/or equity financing and achieve profitable operations.

Management intends to raise additional operating funds through equity and/or debt offerings. However, there can be no assurance management will be successful in its endeavors. Ultimately, the Company will need to achieve profitable operations in order to continue as a going concern.

There are no assurances that the Company will be able to either (1) achieve a level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations; or (2) obtain additional financing through either private placement, public offerings and/or bank financing necessary to support its working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated from operations and any private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing are insufficient, the Company will have to raise additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on terms acceptable to the Company. If adequate working capital is not available to the Company, it may be required to curtail its operations.

Depreciation expense was $17,675 and $17,578 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

NOTE 4 – Notes Payable

The Company’s debt consists of the following:

(1)One note for $50,000 includes as an additional return on the debt a 3% interest in the Gross Crop Yield from the Company’s hemp crop in McDermitt, NV. No accrual has been made for this interest due to failure of crop and no proceeds received from a Gross Crop Yield. This note was purchased by another note holder and the additional return from a Gross Crop Yield was eliminated.​​

(2)All notes that have become due to the date of this report have been extended to a future due date, as per above date ranges.​​

(3)The Series 2 Notes contain certain automatic and voluntary conversion provisions. The Payee shall have the option to voluntarily convert this Note to shares of the common stock of the Company, at any time during the Term of this Note, or any extension of the note. The shares so converted shall be at the price of the securities being currently offered in the Offering, or $1.50. The Payee shall also be issued Warrants for the purchase of common stock in the Company with a value equal to fifty percent (50%) of the face amount of this Note and effective as of the date of any Conversion to shares of common stock in the Company. Such Warrants shall be priced at $1.50 per share during the three-year term of this Note or any extension of this Note.​​

The Company has incurred an interest expense of $28,128 and $21,234 during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. The Company has interest accrued on the above notes in the amount of $45,727 and $31,985 at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

June 30, 2021

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company has paid back $10,000 of the loans with the President of the Company. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company received proceeds of $8,000 from the same related party.

The Company has incurred an interest expense of $1,347 and $2,208 during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company has interest accrued on the above notes in the amount of $6,562 and $12,714 at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

NOTE 6 – Income Taxes

The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 740-10. ASC 740-10 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements. ASC 740-10 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 financial statements. The application of income tax law is inherently complex. Laws and regulation in this area are voluminous and are often ambiguous. As such, we are required to make many subjective assumptions and judgments regarding the income tax exposures. Interpretations and guidance surrounding income tax laws and regulations change over time. As such, changes in the subjective assumptions and judgments can materially affect amounts recognized in the balance sheets and statements of income.

The Company has no unrecognized tax benefit, which would affect the effective tax rate if recognized. There has been no significant change in the unrecognized tax benefit during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

We classify interest and penalties arising from the underpayment of income taxes in the statement of income under general and administrative expenses. As of June 30, 2021, we had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

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.

Due to the passage of the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act” on December 20, 2017 the rate of the U.S. Federal Income Tax dropped from 34% to 21%, which is a flat percentage tax rate used for the calculation of the deferred income tax assets.

The new law also changes the rules on NOL carry forward. The 20-year limitation was eliminated, giving the taxpayer the ability to carry forward losses indefinitely. However, utilization of NOL carry forwards arising after January 1, 2018, will now be limited to 80 percent of taxable income.

The income tax provision differs from the amount on income tax determined by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate of 21% to pretax income from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021 due to the following:

The Company recorded $74,500 to general and administrative expense for the value of the warrants granted in 2020.

NOTE 8 – Contingencies, Commitments, Legal Matters and Consulting Agreements

Management of the Company has conducted a diligent search and concluded that there were no commitments, contingencies, or legal matters pending at the balance sheet dates, other than what has been disclosed below. The Company has cancelled one Consulting Agreements for the marketing of its securities.

On May 13, 2019, the Company entered into an Agricultural Lease for approximately 200 acres in Northern Nevada to plant its Hemp Grow for 2019. The Company is no longer operating under this Agricultural Lease. Even though this lease has not been cancelled, there are no contingent liabilities thereunder.

The term of the lease is for five years commencing May 18, 2019 through May 17, 2024.

There are no minimum fixed monthly payments due on this lease, but an annual participation bonus in an amount equal to fifteen percent of the gross crop yield from the leasehold properties. The Gross Crop Yield is defined by the actual amount received from the crop harvest less all expenses derived from the growing, processing and sale of the crop harvested from the Property.

The Company is solely responsible for all crop care, labor, irrigation, insurance, taxes, repairs and maintenance of the crop, equipment and other costs of planting, raising and harvesting of crops. The Company is responsible for all other miscellaneous cost to grow and take it to market. As the Company is no longer engaged in the activities contemplated by the Agricultural Lease, the Company is no longer subject to any such liabilities.

Due to the lease payments being variable, the Company has not recorded a right of use asset or lease liability on the balance sheet and will recognize the variable lease payments in the period when the obligation for those payments has occurred in accordance with ASC 842, Leases.

No gross crop yields have been achieved by the Company to date, and therefore no lease payments have been made or required under the lease terms. The Hemp Grow farming activities were ceased at the end of 2019 and the leased property is not currently being used by the Company.
