PART 1

Item 1.

Business

Golden Royal Development Inc. (“Golden Royal”) was organized near the end of 2016 to engage in the business of purchasing and selling mineral leases and other interests in mineral rights. If Golden Royal is able to secure adequate financing, Golden Royal may also participate in drilling and/or mining operations. At present, Golden Royal’s cash resources are sufficient only to fund its ongoing operations. The operating assets that it now owns have been contributed by Jacob Roth, Golden Royal’s majority shareholder, or purchased with money contributed by Mr. Roth.

Oil and Gas Properties

On September 27, 2018, Jacob Roth assigned to Golden Royal all of the beneficial interest in two Wyoming oil and gas interests held in Jacob Roth’s name, and Golden Royal assumed responsibility for the expenses that accrue in relation to those interests. Specifically, the Assignment Agreement transfers to Golden Royal “all of the benefits that may accrue to (Jacob Roth) from ownership of the Interests, including any receipts of cash or distribution of assets, as well as the proceeds realized the on sale of either Interest, any of which shall be promptly transferred by Roth to Golden Royal upon receipt.” Conversely, Golden Royal assumed “responsibility for prompt payment of all fees, rents, taxes and any other financial liabilities as may accrue to Roth by reason of his record ownership of the Interests. The assignment and assumption will be effective until Jacob Roth ceases to be the record owner of the Interests.

The overriding royalty in the oil and gas lease on 320 acres of public lands in Converse County, Wyoming that Jacob Roth assigned to Golden Royal on September 27, 2018 terminated on September 1, 2020. Therefore, the oil and gas interest now owned beneficially by Golden Royal, by reason of the aforesaid Assignment Agreement, is:

Fremont County, WYW-185478. This is a ten-year mineral lease on 240 acres of public lands in Fremont County, Wyoming. The lease was granted to Jacob Roth by the United States Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management, effective on February 1, 2017. The lease affords the lessee the exclusive right to drill for, remove and dispose of oil and gas (except helium) in the leased premises, which includes the right to build improvements necessary for the drilling operations. Jacob Roth paid a $415 filing fee to acquire the lease, and an annual rental fee of $360 is charged by the Bureau of Land Management. We do not know whether there is any drilling activity being conducted on lands in the vicinity of our leasehold.

On September 20, 2022, Golden Royal subscribed for two additional oil and gas leaseholds, one in Converse County, Wyoming, and one in Laramie County, Wyoming, which were approved in February 2023:

Converse County, Wyoming Lease 22-00255. This is a five-year oil and gas lease that will extend for an additional five-year term if oil and/or gas is being produced in profitable quantities. The leasehold is 80 acres of public lands in Converse County, Wyoming. The lease was granted to Golden Royal by the State of Wyoming Board of Land Commissioners effective on February 2, 2023. The lease affords the lessee the exclusive right to drill for, remove and dispose of oil and gas (including inert gases, sulfur, and helium) in the leased premises, which includes the right to build improvements necessary for the drilling operations. Golden Royal paid a $50 filing fee to acquire the lease, and an annual rental fee of $80 is charged by the State of Wyoming Office of State Lands and Investments. We do not know whether there is any drilling activity being conducted on lands in the vicinity of our leasehold.

Laramie County, Wyoming Lease 22-00256. This is a five-year oil and gas lease that will extend for an additional five-year term if oil and/or gas is being produced in profitable quantities. The leasehold is 80 acres of public lands in Laramie County, Wyoming. The lease was granted to Golden Royal by the State of Wyoming Board of Land Commissioners effective on February 2, 2023. The lease affords the lessee the exclusive right to drill for, remove and dispose of oil and gas (including inert gases, sulfur, and helium) in the leased premises, which includes the right to build improvements necessary for the drilling operations. Golden Royal paid a $50 filing fee to acquire the lease, and an annual rental fee of $80 is charged by the State of Wyoming Office of State Lands and Investments. We do not know whether there is any drilling activity being conducted on lands in the vicinity of our leasehold.

Precious Metal Interests

On December 6, 2018, Golden Royal and Jacob Roth entered into a second Assignment Agreement, which is identical to the September 27, 2018 Assignment Agreement except for the identity of the lease that is the subject of the agreement. The December 6, 2018 Assignment Agreement transfers to Golden Royal all of the beneficial interest in the following leasehold:

Crooks County, Wyoming Lease 0-43552. This is a ten-year lease granted to Jacob Roth on December 6, 2018 by the State of Wyoming in exchange for a $50 application fee and payment of a $640 annual license fee. The lease grants to Jacob Roth the right to prospect for, develop, produce and market such gold, silver and precious metals as may be found in 640 acres of public land located in Crooks County, Wyoming. We do not know whether there is any mining activity on land in the vicinity of our leasehold.

During the year ended September 31, 2022 Golden Royal purchased three additional precious metal leases in Crooks County, Wyoming:

Crooks County, Wyoming Lease 0-42778. Golden Royal purchased this ten-year lease from the State of Wyoming on November 8, 2021 in exchange for a $50 application fee and a commitment to pay $640 per year for five years and $1,280 per year during the next five years. The annual fee increases during any renewal terms. The lease grants to Golden Royal the right to prospect for, develop, produce and market gold, silver and precious metals, as well as diamonds, jade and precious stones that may be found in 640 acres of land located in Crooks County. We do not know whether there is any mining activity on land in the vicinity of our leasehold.

Crooks County, Wyoming Lease 0-42776. Golden Royal purchased this ten-year lease from the State of Wyoming on November 9, 2021 in exchange for a $50 application fee and a commitment to pay $160 per year for five years and $320 per year during the next five years. The annual fee increases during any renewal terms. The lease grants to Golden Royal the right to prospect for, develop, produce and market gold, silver and precious metals, as well as diamonds, jade and precious stones that may be found in 160 acres of land located in Crooks County. We do not know whether there is any mining activity on land in the vicinity of our leasehold.

Crooks County, Wyoming Lease 0-43639. Golden Royal purchased this ten-year lease from the State of Wyoming on March 28, 2022 in exchange for a $50 application fee and a commitment to pay $460 per year for five years and $919 per year during the next five years. The annual fee increases during any renewal terms. The lease grants to Golden Royal the right to prospect for, develop, produce and market gold, silver and precious metals, as well as diamonds, jade and precious stones that may be found in 459.55 acres of land located in Crooks County. We do not know whether there is any mining activity on land in the vicinity of our leasehold.

Currently, Golden Royal does not have the resources, personnel or infrastructure necessary to engage in oil and gas drilling or precious metal mining. Therefore, at the present time, Golden Royal is holding the seven mineral interests described above, and plans to invest in additional mineral interests as an investment with an eye towards resale. Our purpose in making these investments is to take advantage of increases in the value of the leaseholds that may occur. Such increases could be caused by higher global energy prices, new technologies that make exploration and drilling more cost efficient, or the emergence of markets for other resources located in the leased acreage. If any such circumstances, or any other causal factors, result in an increase in the market value of Golden Royal’s leaseholds, we will seek to negotiate a sale at a profit of the affected leasehold.

Our long-term plan is to develop a capability of participating in the development of oil and gas properties as well as of precious metal properties. We do not anticipate becoming an independent producer of oil, gas or precious metals. But we do plan to seek capital resources that will enable us to invest in drilling or mining activity carried on by established producers. Our plan is to offer our capital stock to investors in private or public offerings and obtain approximately $2.5 million in capital contributions. We believe that cash resources in that amount would enable us to participate as a significant investor in a number of drilling or mining programs sufficient to minimize the risk that all of our mineral investments will fail.

Proved Reserves and Estimated Future Net Revenue

The Securities and Exchange Commission defines proved mineral reserves as the estimated quantities of crude oil, natural gas, or precious metals that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions, i.e. prices and costs as of the date the estimate is made. Prices include consideration of changes in existing prices provided only by contractual arrangements, but not on escalations based upon future conditions.

The process of estimating mineral reserves is complex and requires significant judgment. Our policies regarding booking reserves require proved reserves to be in compliance with the SEC definitions and guidance. Since none of our mineral properties is currently in production, we currently have no proved reserves.

Title to Properties

Title to mineral properties is subject to contractual arrangements customary in the oil and gas industry or the precious metals industry, as applicable, liens for current taxes not yet due and, in some instances, other encumbrances. We believe that such burdens do not materially detract from the value of our properties or from the respective interests therein or materially interfere with their use in the operation of our business.

As is customary in the minerals extraction industries, other than a preliminary review of local records, little investigation of record title is made at the time of acquisitions of undeveloped properties. Investigations, which generally include a title opinion of outside counsel, are made prior to the consummation of an acquisition of producing properties and before commencement of drilling operations on undeveloped properties.

Competition

The market for mineral leases was substantially changed by the policies of the first Trump Administration, and has been undergoing a reversal of many of those changes as a result of policies of the Biden administration. During the first Trump Administration, the Department of the Interior dramatically increased the number of acres of public land that it made available for mineral leasing: during the 2018 fiscal year, for example, three times as much land was offered in auction as during the average of fiscal 2013 through fiscal 2016. Further, Interior Department regulations provide that if a parcel of mineral rights pass through auction without attracting a bid, then during the following two years anyone could purchase the rights with an upfront fee of $1.50 per acre. The combination of an increase in available land with the opportunity for purchase at negligible prices caused a marked reduction in the average price of mineral leases. In Montana, for example, the average lease price for oil and gas properties in 2018 was 20% of the average price in 2016.

The marked reduction in the price of mineral leases drew many more participants into the market, particularly speculative investors similar to Golden Royal. Many market participants speculated that the widespread protests against the post-auction “giveaways” would result in changes to regulations, which would lead to an increase in average lease prices. This activity created demand that, to some extent, offset the effect on lease prices of current Interior Department policies.

The Biden Administration has undertaken a reversal of the policies of the Trump Administration. In November 2021 the Department of the Interior published proposals to reduce the amount of land made available for extraction activities and to increase the fees charged for such activities. Then on April 15, 2022 the Department of the Interior published sales notices indicating an 80% reduction in the acreage being made available for leasing and a significant increase in the royalty rate payable to the government.

Implementation of Biden Administration policies reduced the amount of land available for mineral extraction, and increased the cost of such land. The State of Wyoming remains aggressive in its efforts to market mineral leases, but its efforts only partially offset the effect of federal policy, as the U.S. Bureau of Land Management holds the dominant position in mineral leasing in Wyoming. The return of Mr. Trump to office in 2025 should reduce the competition that we will face in the coming years, as we can expect the U.S. Interior Department and the State of Wyoming to adopt similar policies.

Governmental Regulations, Approval, Compliance

If we elect to participate directly in development of oil and gas properties, our operations are or will be subject to various types of regulation at the federal, state and local levels. Such regulations includes requiring permits for the drilling of wells; maintaining bonding requirements in order to drill or operate wells; implementing spill prevention plans; submitting notification and receiving permits relating to the presence, use and release of certain materials incidental to oil and gas operations; and regulating the location of wells, the method of drilling and casing wells, the use, transportation, storage and disposal of fluids and materials used in connection with drilling and production activities, surface usage and the restoration of properties upon which wells have been drilled, the plugging and abandoning of wells and the transporting of production. Our operations are or will be also subject to various conservation matters, including the regulation of the size of drilling and spacing units or pro-ration units, the number of wells which may be drilled in a unit, and the unitization or pooling of oil and gas properties. In this regard, some states allow the forced pooling or integration of tracts to facilitate exploration while other states rely on voluntary pooling of lands and leases, which may make it more difficult to develop oil and gas properties. In addition, state conservation laws establish maximum rates of production from oil and gas wells, generally limit the venting or flaring of gas, and impose certain requirements regarding the ratable purchase of production. The effect of these regulations is to limit the amounts of oil and gas we may be able to produce from our wells and to limit the number of wells or the locations at which we may be able to drill.

If we elect to participate directly in mining the acreage on which we hold precious metal rights, we will primarily be restricted by federal and state environmental regulations, which significantly restrict the methods that can be employed in extracting precious metals, and require remediation of damage done to the environments in which we may mine. Such regulations will increase the cost of mining significantly, and accordingly reduce the profitability of our mining and, most significantly, our ability to attract investors to participate in any such mining activities.

Failure to comply with any laws and regulations may result in the assessment of administrative, civil and criminal penalties, the imposition of injunctive relief or both. Moreover, changes in any of these laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on business. In view of the many uncertainties with respect to current and future laws and regulations, including their applicability to us, we cannot predict the overall effect of such laws and regulations on our future operations.

We believe that our operations comply in all material respects with applicable laws and regulations and that the existence and enforcement of such laws and regulations have no more restrictive an effect on our operations than on other similar companies in the energy industry. We do not anticipate any material capital expenditures to comply with federal and state environmental requirements.

Environmental

Operations on properties in which we have an interest are subject to extensive federal, state and local environmental laws that regulate the discharge or disposal of materials or substances into the environment and otherwise are intended to protect the environment. Numerous governmental agencies issue rules and regulations to implement and enforce such laws, which are often difficult and costly to comply with and which carry substantial administrative, civil and criminal penalties and in some cases injunctive relief for failure to comply.

Some laws, rules and regulations relating to the protection of the environment may, in certain circumstances, impose “strict liability” for environmental contamination. These laws render a person or company liable for environmental and natural resource damages, cleanup costs and, in the case of oil spills in certain states, consequential damages without regard to negligence or fault. Other laws, rules and regulations may require the rate of oil and gas production to be below the economically optimal rate or may even prohibit exploration or production activities in environmentally sensitive areas. In addition, state laws often require some form of remedial action, such as closure of inactive pits and plugging of abandoned wells, to prevent pollution from former or suspended operations.

Legislation has been proposed in the past and continues to be evaluated in Congress from time to time that would reclassify certain oil and gas exploration and production wastes and/or certain mining waste as “hazardous wastes.” This reclassification would make these wastes subject to much more stringent storage, treatment, disposal and clean-up requirements, which could have a significant adverse impact on operating costs. Initiatives to further regulate the disposal of oil and gas wastes and mining wastes are also proposed in certain states from time to time and may include initiatives at the county, municipal and local government levels. These various initiatives could have a similar adverse impact on operating costs.

The regulatory burden of environmental laws and regulations increases our cost and risk of doing business and consequently affects our profitability. The federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, or CERCLA, also known as the “Superfund” law, imposes liability, without regard to fault, on certain classes of persons with respect to the release of a “hazardous substance” into the environment. These persons include the current or prior owner or operator of the disposal site or sites where the release occurred and companies that transported, disposed or arranged for the transport or disposal of the hazardous substances found at the site. Persons who are or were responsible for releases of hazardous substances under CERCLA may be subject to joint and several liability for the costs of cleaning up the hazardous substances that have been released into the environment and for damages to natural resources, and it is not uncommon for the federal or state government to pursue such claims.

It is also not uncommon for neighboring landowners and other third parties to file claims for personal injury or property or natural resource damages allegedly caused by the hazardous substances released into the environment. Under CERCLA, certain oil and gas materials and products are, by definition, excluded from the term “hazardous substances.” A number of federal courts have held that certain wastes associated with the production of crude oil may be classified as hazardous substances under CERCLA. Although, under the federal Resource, Conservation and Recovery Act, or RCRA, which governs the generation, treatment, storage and disposal of “solid wastes” and “hazardous wastes,” certain oil and gas materials and wastes are exempt from the definition of “hazardous wastes,” this exemption continues to be subject to judicial interpretation and increasingly stringent state interpretation. During the normal course of operations on properties in which we have an interest, exempt and non-exempt wastes, including hazardous wastes, that are subject to RCRA and comparable state statutes and implementing regulations may be generated.

We will rely on the operator of the properties in which we have an interest to be in substantial compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations relating to the control of emissions at all facilities on those properties. The occurrence of a significant event not fully insured or indemnified against could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operations. If we undertake drilling or mining operations, compliance with environmental requirements, including financial assurance requirements and the costs associated with the cleanup of any spill, could have a material adverse effect on our capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position.

Employees

It is anticipated that the only active employee of this business in the near future will be Jacob Roth, its President. All operative functions, such as acquiring or disposing of energy investments, will be handled by the President or independent contractors and consultants.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

Investing in our common stock will involve risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below together with the other information contained in this Report, including the financial statements and the related notes, before deciding whether to purchase any shares of our common stock. If any of the following risks is realized, our business, financial condition or operating results could materially suffer. In that event, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment.

I. RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH BUSINESS OF COMPANY

Our auditor has indicated that there is a substantial doubt as to whether we will be able to continue as a going concern.

In its report on our financial statements for the years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, our independent registered public accounting firm has stated that the fact that Golden Royal has not generated any revenues and does not have positive cash flow from operations raises substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. A “going concern” opinion is an indication that the auditor’s review of the company’s resources and business activities raised doubt as to whether the company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The risk of investing in a company whose financial statements carry a going concern opinion is that you are likely to lose all of your investment if the company fails to continue as a going concern. In the case of Golden Royal, the fact that we have minimal assets and no source of revenue means that we will continue as a going concern only if we are able to obtain the funds necessary to implement our business plan and are successful in that implementation. If we are not able to convert our business into a going concern, investors in Golden Royal will lose their investment.

We may be unable to sustain operations and we will certainly not be able to acquire mineral rights and expand operations until we raise significant funds.

Our company at this time has a working capital deficit. We are currently sustaining operations by relying on capital contributions and advances from Jacob Roth, our Chief Executive Officer. In order for Golden Royal to develop, we must find alternative financing sources; otherwise, we will not be able to continue the development of our business. In addition, in order to achieve the second level of our business plan, in which we participate in drilling operations, it will be necessary that we obtain approximately 2.5 million dollars of capital. Since we have no assets to pledge against debt, it is likely that any capital we obtain will be the proceeds from a sale of equity or equity-related debt. If we cannot persuade investors to purchase a sufficient amount of our equity, we will not be able to do more than make occasional purchases of low-priced, high-risk mineral rights.

We may be required to raise additional financing by issuing new securities with terms or rights superior to those of our shares of common stock, which could adversely affect the market price of our shares of common stock.

We will require approximately $2.5 million in financing to fund the full implementation of our business plan. We may not be able to obtain financing on favorable terms, if at all. If we raise funds by issuing equity securities, the percentage ownership of our current shareholders will be reduced, and the holders of the new equity securities may have rights superior to those of the holders of shares of common stock, which could adversely affect the market price and the voting power of shares of our common stock. If we raise additional funds by issuing debt securities, the holders of these debt securities would similarly have some rights senior to those of the holders of shares of common stock, and the terms of these debt securities could impose restrictions on operations and create a significant interest expense for us.

The administrative costs of public company regulatory compliance could become burdensome and consume a significant amount of the Company’s cash resources, which could materially and adversely affect its business.

Golden Royal will incur significant costs and expenses in connection with assuring compliance with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to it as a public company. The Company anticipates that its ongoing costs and expenses of complying with our public reporting company obligations will be approximately $40,000 annually. The Company’s compliance costs and expenses could increase substantially if it applies for trading of its securities on a national stock exchange which may have listing requirements that engender additional administration and compliance costs. The Company will assign a high priority to establishing and maintaining controls, procedures, corporate compliance and public company reporting; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will have sufficient cash resources available to satisfy its public company reporting and compliance obligations. If the Company is unable to cover the cost of proper administration of its public company compliance and reporting obligations, the Company could become subject to sanctions, fines and penalties, its stock could be barred from trading in public capital markets, and it may cease doing business.

The mineral exploration and mining industry is highly competitive and there is no assurance that the company will be successful.

The mineral exploration and mining industry is intensely competitive, and the Company competes with other companies that have greater resources. Many of these companies not only explore for and produce minerals but also market minerals and other products on a regional, national or worldwide basis. These companies will be able to pay more for productive mineral properties and exploratory prospects or define, evaluate, bid for and purchase a greater number of properties and prospects than Golden Royal’s financial or human resources permit. In addition, these companies will have a greater ability to continue exploration activities during periods of low mineral market prices. The Company’s larger competitors may be able to absorb the burden of present and future foreign, federal, state, local and other laws and regulations more easily than Golden Royal can, which would adversely affect our competitive position. The Company’s ability to acquire additional properties and to discover productive prospects in the future will be dependent upon its ability to evaluate and select suitable properties and to consummate transactions in a highly competitive environment. In addition, because Golden Royal has fewer financial and human resources than many companies in its industry, the Company may be at a disadvantage in bidding for exploratory prospects and producing mineral properties.

Any change in government regulation/administrative practices may have a negative impact on Golden Royal’s ability to operate and its profitability.

The laws, regulations, policies or current administrative practices of any government body, organization or regulatory agency in any applicable jurisdiction, may be changed, applied or interpreted in a manner which will fundamentally alter Golden Royal’s ability to carry on business. The actions, policies or regulations, or changes thereto, of any government body or regulatory agency, or other special interest groups, may have a detrimental effect on the Company. In particular, any change in the current policies of the U.S. Department of the Interior regarding leasing of mineral interests in public lands could cause a significant alteration in the potential profitability of our investment strategy. Any or all of these situations may have a negative impact on the Company’s ability to operate and/or its profitably.

Golden Royal has limited mineral property assets or interests and cannot guarantee that it will identify or acquire any additional viable mineral property assets or interests.

Golden Royal presently has only 2,300 acres of mineral property assets, none of which are in development. The Company is currently seeking to identify mineral properties to acquire but the Company cannot guarantee it will find any valuable mineral properties. Accordingly, the Company has no means of producing any income at this time. Even if the Company acquires a mineral property interest on land that becomes developed by a mining company, the Company cannot guarantee that it will be able to capitalize on the increased value of its leasehold.

If the Company cannot acquire any viable mineral property assets or mineral property interests, or cannot find any minerals on such mineral properties, or it is not economical to recover the minerals from those mineral properties, the Company will have to cease operations.

The Company does not have sufficient funds to operate profitably as an investor in mineral properties.

Golden Royal will need to obtain additional financing in order to invest in drilling or mining operations, which will be necessary for the Company to attain profitability. The Company currently does not have any operations and has generated no revenue from mining operations. A proposed mineral exploration program will call for significant expenses in connection with the exploration of the respective mineral property. We estimate that the Company will need to raise additional capital of approximately $2,500,000 to enable it to participate in drilling or mining operations. Obtaining additional financing would be subject to a number of factors, including the market prices for minerals, investor acceptance of the Company’s mineral claims, and investor sentiment. These factors may make the timing, amount, terms or conditions of additional financing unavailable to the Company. The most likely source of future funds presently available to the Company is through the sale of equity capital. Any sale of share capital will result in dilution to existing stockholders. The only other anticipated alternatives for the financing of a proposed mineral exploration program would be (1) the offering by the Company of an interest in a mineral property to be earned by another party or parties carrying out further exploration thereof, which is not presently contemplated, or (2) private loans.

Our success is dependent on the continued employment of Jacob Roth, our President and Chairman of the Board.

The success of Golden Royal depends to a large degree upon the personal efforts and ability of Mr. Roth, the loss of whose services, whether through disability, illness, death or severance of employment, would have a materially adverse effect on the Company.

The Company’s principal officer and director may be subject to conflicts of interest.

Jacob Roth, the Company’s principal officer and director, will devote to the Company’s affairs such time as he deems necessary to accomplish the Company’s business plan. However, Mr. Roth may also devote part of his working time to other business endeavors, including consulting relationships with other entities, and may have responsibilities to these other entities which would result in conflicts of interest. Such conflicts include deciding how much time to devote to the Company’s affairs, as well as what business opportunities should be presented to the Company. Because of these relationships, Mr. Roth could be subject to conflicts of interest. Currently, Golden Royal has no policy in place to address such conflicts of interest.

II. RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK

Our Chief Executive Officer owns a majority of the outstanding common stock, which enables him to exercise complete control over all corporate matters.

Jacob Roth, our Chief Executive Officer, owns over 95% of our outstanding common stock and, by reason of his ownership of Series A Preferred Stock, controls over 97% of the voting power in the Company. As a result, Mr. Roth can exercise control over our management and affairs and over matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. Because Delaware law permits shareholders to act by written consent in lieu of holding a meeting of shareholders, the affairs of the Company may be carried on without need for any meeting of the shareholders. This situation may prevent the minority shareholders from participating in any way in the management of the Company. In addition, this concentration of ownership may delay or prevent a change in control of us and might affect the market price of our common stock, even when a change in control may be in the best interest of all stockholders. Furthermore, the interests of this concentration of ownership may not always coincide with the best interest of the Company or the interests of other stockholders.

The Company is not likely to hold annual shareholder meetings in the next few years.

Management does not expect to hold annual meetings of shareholders in the next few years, due to the expense involved. The current members of the Board of Directors were appointed to that position by the previous directors. If other directors are added to the Board in the future, it is likely that the current directors will appoint them. As a result, the shareholders of the Company will have no effective means of exercising control over the operations of the Company.

Delaware law and our articles of incorporation may protect the company’s directors from certain types of lawsuits.

Delaware law provides that the Company’s officers and directors will not be liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for all but certain types of conduct as officers and directors. Golden Royal’s Certificate of Incorporation requires the Company to indemnify officers and directors of the Company against all damages incurred in connection with the Company’s business to the fullest extent provided or allowed by law. The exculpation provisions may have the effect of preventing stockholders from recovering damages against the Company’s officers and directors caused by their negligence, poor judgment or other circumstances. The indemnification provisions may require us to use the Company’s limited assets to defend its officers and directors against claims, including claims arising out of their negligence, poor judgment, or other circumstances.

Failure to maintain effective internal controls in accordance with section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act would lead to loss of investor confidence in the Company’s reported financial information.

Pursuant to regulations related to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, on a quarterly basis the Company will be required to furnish a report by its management on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. If the Company cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, then its business and operating results could be harmed, investors could lose confidence in the Company’s reported financial information, and the trading price of the Company’s stock could drop significantly.

To maintain compliance with Section 404 of the Act, the Company will engage in a process to document and evaluate its internal control over financial reporting, which is both costly and challenging and will require management to dedicate scarce internal resources and to retain outside consultants.

During the course of the Company’s testing, management may identify deficiencies which the Company may not be able to remediate in time for securities disclosure reporting deadlines. In addition, if the Company fails to maintain the adequacy of its internal controls, as such standards are modified, supplemented or amended from time to time, the Company may not be able to ensure that it can conclude on an ongoing basis that the Company has effective internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Moreover, effective internal controls, particularly those related to revenue recognition, are necessary for the Company to produce reliable financial reports and are important to helping prevent financial fraud.

Trading in the Company’s common stock may be inadequate to provide liquidity for our shareholders.

Our common stock became listed on the OTC Pink Market during 2023. Nevertheless, the small number of holders of our common stock means that for some indefinite period of time the trading volume in our common stock will be very low. For that reason, for some period of the future, our shareholders may find it difficult or impossible to sell their shares when they wish and for prices they consider reasonable.

An active market will not develop unless broker-dealers develop interest in trading the Company’s shares, and the Company may be unable to generate interest in its shares among broker-dealers until the Company generates meaningful revenues and profits from operations. Until that time occurs, if it does at all, purchasers of the Company’s shares may be unable to sell them publicly. In the absence of an active trading market:

	●	Investors may have difficulty buying and selling the Company’s shares or obtaining market quotations;
	●	Market visibility for the Company’s common stock may be limited; and
	●	A lack of visibility for the Company’s common stock may depress the market price for its shares.

Moreover, the market price for the Company’s shares is likely to be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, including the following: (i) actual or anticipated fluctuations in the Company’s quarterly operating results and revisions to its expected results; (ii) changes in financial estimates by securities research analysts; (iii) conditions in the market for the Company’s products; (iv) changes in the economic performance or market valuations of companies specializing in the mining industries; (v) announcements by the Company or its competitors of new industry mining techniques, strategic relationships, joint ventures or capital commitments; (vi) addition or departure of key personnel; (vii) litigation related to any intellectual property; and (viii) sales or perceived potential sales of the Company’s shares.

The Company’s common stock is considered to be “penny stock.”

The Company’s common stock will be considered to be a “penny stock” for the foreseeable future because it will meet one or more of the definitions in Rules 15g-2 through 15g-6 promulgated under Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These include but are not limited to, the following: (i) the stock trades at a price less than $5.00 per share; (ii) it is not traded on a “recognized” national exchange; (iii) it is not quoted on The NASDAQ Stock Market, or even if quoted, has a price less than $5.00 per share; or (iv) is issued by a company with net tangible assets less than $2.0 million, if in business more than a continuous three years, or with average revenues of less than $6.0 million for the past three years. The principal result or effect of being designated a “penny stock” is that securities broker-dealers cannot recommend the stock but must trade it on an unsolicited basis.

The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks.” Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system). Penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, which specifies information about penny stocks and the nature and significance of risks of the penny stock market. A broker-dealer must also provide the customer with bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer, and sales person in the transaction, and monthly account statements indicating the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, the penny stock rules require that, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for stock that becomes subject to those penny stock rules. Therefore, since our common stock will be subject to the penny stock rules for the foreseeable future, shareholders may have difficulty in selling their shares and could lose all of their investment.

The Company has not paid any cash dividends in the past and will not pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future

Golden Royal has not paid any cash dividends on its common stock. The Company generally intends to retain future earnings, if any, for reinvestment in the development and expansion of its business. Dividend payments in the future may also be limited by other loan agreements or covenants contained in other securities which the Company may issue. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of the Company’s board of directors and depend on its financial condition, results of operations, capital and legal requirements and such other factors as the board of directors deems relevant.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Results of Operations

Golden Royal was organized in November 2016, but did not commence operations until September 2018, when it acquired equity in certain oil and gas properties in Fremont County and Converse County, Wyoming (the Converse County interest has since expired). Then in December 2018 Golden Royal acquired ownership of precious metal rights in a parcel of land in Crooks County, Wyoming. All of these properties were acquired from Jacob Roth, who owns over 95% of Golden Royal’s outstanding shares. Subsequent to September 30, 2021, Golden Royal acquired mineral rights in five additional properties.

There are no mining operations taking place on any of the seven properties; accordingly, we recorded no revenue for either the year ended September 30, 2024 or the year ended September 30, 2023. We do not expect to record revenue unless (a) we resell one of our properties, or (b) we acquire sufficient cash resources to permit us to participate in a drilling or mining project that yields revenue.

The operating expenses that we incurred - $31,593 during the year ended September 30, 2024 and $60,308 during the year ended September 30, 2023 - were attributable to the costs of sustaining Golden Royal’s administrative operations. The greater portion of the operating expenses consist of fees payable for accounting and legal services related to preparation of our quarterly filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We also incurred significant general and administrative expenses related to our efforts to secure FINRA approval of trading in our common stock. Lastly, in our operating expenses we recorded impairment expense of $2,650 and $2,520 during the years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, as a result of the Company incurring capitalizable costs for the acquisition of mining rights and fully impairing those rights as there was insufficient evidence to support a likelihood that the assets would generate future cash flows.

Since we recorded no revenue, by reason of its operating expenses, Golden Royal incurred a net loss of $31,593 in the year ended September 30, 2024 and a net loss of $60,308 in the year ended September 30, 2023. We will continue to incur net losses until we initiate revenue-producing operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our operations used $16,360 in cash during the year ended September 30, 2024, and $34,464 in cash during the year ended September 30, 2023. Our use of cash during the 2024 and 2023 fiscal years was less than our net loss primarily because we increased our accounts payable in both years.

In both years, the cash used in operations was provided primarily by advances from Jacob Roth, our Chief Executive Officer.

At September 30, 2024, we had a working capital deficit of $289,567, an increase of $31,593 from our working capital deficit of $257,974 as of September 30, 2023.

In order for us to initiate participation in mineral exploration projects, we estimate that we will require approximately $2.5 million in capital. We plan to obtain that capital by issuing equity securities, either capital stock or convertible debt. To date, however, we have received no commitments for funds. Accordingly, the opinion of our independent registered public accounting firm with respect to our fiscal 2024 and 2023 financial statements states that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. That doubt will be alleviated only when we obtain the funds necessary to initiate profitable operations.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Future events, however, may differ markedly from our current expectations and assumptions. While there are several significant accounting policies affecting our consolidated financial statements; we don’t believe that we have any critical accounting policies that involve complex, difficult, and subjective estimates and judgments.

Board of Directors and Shareholders

Golden Royal Development Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Golden Royal Development Inc. as of September 30, 2024 and 2023, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended September 30, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Golden Royal Development Inc. as of September 30, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended September 30, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the entity will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 5 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 5. 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 entity’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. 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 Golden Royal Development Inc. 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. Golden Royal Development Inc. is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits 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 entity’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 audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit matters.

GOLDEN ROYAL DEVELOPMENT INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 AND 2023

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION

(A) Organization

Golden Royal Development Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on November 13, 2016.

The Company’s accounting year end is September 30.

The Company is a business that is designed to engage in mineral exploration activities. The Company’s activities since inception have consisted of identifying and acquiring oil, gas, and mining properties. The Company is also in the process of raising additional equity capital to support its development activities to acquire additional mining properties as soon as possible. The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including failing to secure additional funding to operationalize the Company’s current plan to identify and acquire the mining properties. To date, the Company has not generated any revenues from its oil, gas, and mining properties.

(B) Use of Estimates

In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(C) Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company had no cash equivalents.

(D) Loss Per Share

Basic and diluted net loss per common share is computed based upon the weighted average common shares outstanding as defined by FASB ASC No. 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents, and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. At September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not have any stock equivalents or potentially dilutive securities.

(E) Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB Codification Topic 740-10-25 (“ASC 740-10-25”). Under ASC 740-10-25, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. 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. Under ASC 740-10-25, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

F-6

The Company’s income tax expense differed from the statutory rates (federal 21% and state 6.5%) as follows:

	September 30, 2024			September 30, 2023

Expected tax expense (benefit) - Federal	$	(6,202	)	$	(11,842	)
Expected tax expense (benefit) - State		(2,054	)		(3,920	)
Change in valuation allowance		8,256			15,762
Actual tax expense (benefit)	$	-		$	-

The net deferred taxes in the accompanying balance sheets includes the following amounts of deferred tax assets and liabilities:


Gross deferred tax assets:
Net operating loss carryforwards	$	(77,010	)	$	(68,751	)
Total deferred tax assets		(77,010	)		(68,751	)
Less: valuation allowance		77,010			68,751
Net deferred tax asset recorded	$	-		$	-

As of September 30, 2024, the Company has a net operating loss carry forward of approximately $214,900 available to offset future taxable income indefinitely, subject to limitations. The valuation allowance was established to reduce the deferred tax asset to the amount that will more likely than not be realized. This is necessary due to the Company’s continued operating loss and the uncertainty of the Company’s ability to utilize all of the net operating loss carryforwards.

The net change in the valuation allowance for the years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was an increase of $8,256 and $15,762, respectively.

The Company has not filed any federal income tax returns since 2018, therefore, while the Company is in a net loss position and expects no income tax amounts to be due, they are at risk for failure to file penalties. As of the date of this report the Company has not been informed that such penalties have been assessed, therefore no accrual for such has been recorded in the Company’s financial statements. The Company’s federal income tax returns for the years 2017-2024 remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service through 2030.

(F) Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenue recognition policy follows guidance from Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue from Contract with Customers. Revenue is recognized when the Company transfers promised goods and services to the customer and in the amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services.

The Company applies the following five-step model in order to determine this amount:

	(i)	Identification of contact with a customer;
	(ii)	Identify the performance obligation of the contract
	(iii)	Determine the transaction price;
	(iv)	Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and
	(v)	Recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation.

The Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation on November 13, 2016, and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of oil, gas, and mining properties.

F-7

(G) Mineral Properties

Acquisition costs of mining properties are capitalized pursuant to ASC 932 Extractive Activities - Oil and Gas and ASC 930 Extractive Activities – Mining. Mineral exploration expenditures are expensed as incurred. When production is attained, capitalized acquisition costs will be depleted using either the unit of production method based upon estimated proven recoverable reserves or the estimated production life of the properties. When capitalized costs on individual properties exceed their estimated net realizable value, the properties are written down to the estimated value. Costs relating to properties abandoned are charged to operations in the period in which that determination is made.

(H) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Management reviews the net carrying value of all property and equipment and other long-lived assets, including mineral properties, on a periodic basis in accordance with ASC 360 Property, Plant, and Equipment. The Company estimates the net realizable value of an asset based on the estimated undiscounted future cash flows that will be generated from operations at each property, the estimated salvage value of the surface plant and equipment, and the value associated with property interests. These estimates of undiscounted future cash flows are dependent upon the estimates of minerals to be recovered from proven and probable ore reserves, future production cost estimates, and future mineral price estimates over the estimated remaining life of the mineral property. If undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of a property, an impairment loss will be recognized based upon the estimated expected future cash flows from the property discounted at an interest rate commensurate with the risk involved. For the years ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, the Company recorded impairment expense of $2,650 and $2,520, respectively, related to the mineral rights acquisition and exploration costs (see Note 4).

(I) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. For certain of our financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable, and the short-term portion of long-term debt, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities.

ASC 820 defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures. This standard does not require any new fair value measurements but rather applies to all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. This guidance does not apply to measurements related to share-based payments. This guidance discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). The guidance utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:

	●	Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

	●	Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

	●	Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore developed using estimates and assumptions developed by us, which reflect those that a market participant would use.

(J) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

All newly issued accounting pronouncements, but not yet effective, have been deemed either immaterial or not applicable.

NOTE 4 MINERAL PROPERTIES

On February 6, 2023 the Board of Land Commissions of the Wyoming Office of State Lands and Investments accepted the Company’s application to purchase oil and gas leases No. 22-00255 (five-year oil and gas leasehold on 80 acres in Converse County) and 22-00256 (five-year oil and gas leasehold on 80 acres in Laramie County). During the year ended September 30, 2023, the Company paid a $50 application fee for each lease and committed to pay the State of Wyoming $80 per year, per lease, for five years. Under ASC 930 Extractive Activities - Mining, costs are to be capitalized as an asset, however, the Company has fully impaired the asset as the Company determined that there was insufficient evidence to support a likelihood that the asset will generate future cash flows. During year ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded $160 and $260, respectively, as impairment expense pertaining to the property, which has been recorded in general and administrative expenses on the Statement of Operations. As of September 30, 2024 the Company has accrued $160 for the annual lease fees owed to the lessor, therefore the Company is in default for non-payment and is at risk to lose the lease.

On March 17, 2022, the Company entered into a ten-year mineral lease to prospect and extract gold, silver, and precious metals with an effective date of April 1, 2022. The property is located in Crook County, Wyoming. During the year ended September 30, 2022, the Company paid a $50 application fee and committed to pay the State of Wyoming $460 per year for five years and $919 per year for the next five years. Under ASC 930 Extractive Activities - Mining, costs are to be capitalized as an asset, however, the Company has fully impaired the asset as the Company determined that there was insufficient evidence to support a likelihood that the asset will generate future cash flows. During the years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded $690 and $460, respectively, as impairment expense pertaining to the property.

On November 9, 2021, the Company entered into a ten-year mineral lease to prospect and extract gold, silver, and precious metals with an effective date of February 2, 2022. The property is located in Crook County, Wyoming. During the year ended September 30, 2022, the Company paid a $50 application fee and committed to pay the State of Wyoming $160 per year for five years and $320 per year during the next five years. Under ASC 930 Extractive Activities - Mining, costs are to be capitalized as an asset, however, the Company has fully impaired the asset as the Company determined that there was insufficient evidence to support a likelihood that the asset will generate future cash flows. During the years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded $160 and $160, respectively, as impairment expense pertaining to the property, which has been recorded in general and administrative expenses on the Statement of Operations. As of September 30, 2024 the Company has accrued $160 for the annual lease fees owed to the lessor, therefore the Company is in default for non-payment and is at risk to lose the lease.

On November 8, 2021, the Company entered into a ten-year mineral lease to prospect and extract gold, silver, and precious metals with an effective date of February 2, 2022. The property is located in Crook County, Wyoming. During the year ended September 30, 2022, the Company paid a $50 application fee and committed to pay the State of Wyoming $640 per year for five years and $1,280 per year for the next five years. Under ASC 930 Extractive Activities - Mining, costs are to be capitalized as an asset, however, the Company has fully impaired the asset as the Company determined that there was insufficient evidence to support a likelihood that the asset will generate future cash flows. During the years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded $640 and $640, respectively, as impairment expense pertaining to the property, which has been recorded in general and administrative expenses on the Statement of Operations. As of September 30, 2024 the Company has accrued $640 for the annual lease fees owed to the lessor, therefore the Company is in default for non-payment and is at risk to lose the lease.

F-10

On December 6, 2018, the Company entered into an Assignment Agreement with the Company’s President and majority shareholder, pursuant to which the Company’s President assigned to the Company all of the beneficial interest in a ten-year lease to prospect and extract gold, silver and precious minerals which was granted to the Company’s President on November 18, 2018. The Company assumed responsibility for all fees, rents, and taxes that accrue with respect to that property, including the commitment to pay the State of Wyoming $640 per year. The property is located in Crook County, Wyoming. Under ASC 930 Extractive Activities – Mining, costs are to be capitalized as an asset, however, the Company has fully impaired the asset as the Company determined that there is insufficient evidence to support a likelihood that the asset will generate future cash flows. During the years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded $640 and $640, respectively, as impairment expense pertaining to the property, which has been recorded in general and administrative expenses on the Statement of Operations. As of September 30, 2024 the Company has accrued $3,200 for the annual lease fees owed to the lessor, therefore the Company is in default for non-payment and is at risk to lose the lease if contacted by the lessor and the default is not cured within 30 days of a notice of non-payment.

On September 27, 2018, the Company entered into an Assignment Agreement with the Company’s President and majority shareholder, pursuant to which the Company’s President assigned to the Company all of the beneficial interest in a ten-year mineral lease to mine for oil and gas which was granted to the Company’s President on February 1, 2017. The Company assumed responsibility for all fees, rents and taxes that accrue with respect to that property, including the commitment to pay the State of Wyoming $360 per year. The property is located in Fremont County, Wyoming. Under ASC 932 Extractive Activities - Oil and Gas, costs are to be capitalized as an asset, however, the Company has fully impaired the asset as the Company determined that there is insufficient evidence to support a likelihood that the asset will generate any future cash flows. During the years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded $360 and $360, respectively, as impairment expense pertaining to the property. As of September 30, 2024 the Company has accrued $2,160 for the annual lease fees owed to the lessor, therefore the Company is in default for non-payment and is at risk to lose the lease if contacted by the lessor and the default is not cured within 30 days of a notice of non-payment.

NOTE 5 LIQUIDITY, GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S PLANS

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, for the year ended September 30, 2024, the Company had:

	●	Net loss of $31,593; and

	●	Net cash used in operations was $16,359

Additionally, as of September 30, 2024, the Company had:

	●	Accumulated deficit of $319,868

	●	Stockholders’ deficit of $289,567; and

	●	Working capital deficit of $289,567

The Company had $273 cash on hand at September 30, 2024. Although the Company intends to raise additional debt (third party and related party lenders) or equity capital, the Company expects to incur losses from operations and have negative cash flows from operating activities for the near-term. These losses could be significant as the Company executes its business plan.

These factors create substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within the twelve-month period subsequent to the date that these financial statements are issued. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes the Company will continue as a going concern and which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.

NOTE 6 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Subsequent to September 30, 2024, the Company’s President and majority shareholder advanced $4,752 to the Company to pay Company expenses and was repaid $30.

Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of September 30, 2024, Jacob Roth, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2024 due to the material weaknesses identified below.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We have assessed the effectiveness of those internal controls as of September 30, 2024 using the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) Internal Control – Integrated Framework (1992) as a basis for our assessment.

Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. 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 and procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

A material weakness in internal controls is a deficiency in internal control, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the Company’s ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report external financial data reliably in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected. In the course of making our assessment of the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting, we identified three material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. These material weaknesses consisted of the following:

	●	We have inadequate control activities to prevent or detect material misstatements. Specifically, there are no controls in place to prevent users from manipulating financial data or entering inaccurate data into the Company’s accounting software.

	●	There is only one employee responsible for accounting functions, namely our Chief Financial Officer. This situation prevents us from segregating duties within our internal control system. Moreover, our Chief Financial Officer lacks the knowledge and expertise to ensure the financial statements are properly recorded under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

	●	We have an inadequate control environment. Specifically, we have not developed sufficient policies or documentation concerning our existing financial processes, risk assessment processes, and information and communication processes. Additionally, we lack adequate corporate governance and have no monitoring activities in place and we lack policies that require formal written approval for related party transactions.

Management does not believe that the current level of the Company’s operations warrants a remediation of the weaknesses identified in this assessment. However, because of the above condition, management’s assessment is that the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of September 30, 2024.

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 Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Changes in Internal Controls

There was no change in internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) identified in connection with the evaluation described in the preceding paragraph that occurred during Golden Royal’s fourth fiscal quarter that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect Golden Royal’s internal control over financial reporting.

Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance

The executive officers and directors of the Company are:

Name	Age	Position with the Company	Director since
Jacob Roth	77	Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer	2016

Bernard Rosenberg	76	Director, Secretary	2018

Directors hold office until the annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders and the election and qualification of their successors. Officers hold office, subject to removal at any time by the Board, until the meeting of directors immediately following the annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors are appointed and qualified.

JACOB ROTH organized Golden Royal in 2016, and was named President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Director at that time. From 1999 until 2015, Mr. Roth was Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Royal Energy Resources, Inc. (OTCQB: ROYE), which was at that time engaged in the purchase and sale of mineral properties. From 2002 through 2003, Mr. Roth was Director and Chief Executive Officer of Virilitec Industries, Inc., a public company then quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board that was engaged in attempting to distribute a line of bioengineered virility nutritional supplements. From 1982 until 1995, Mr. Roth was the President of JR Consulting Inc., a public company then quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board that was engaged in providing consulting services. When not otherwise employed, Mr. Roth is a self-employed business and financial consultant.

BERNARD ROSENBERG was appointed as a member of the Board of Directors and Secretary of Golden Royal in November 2018. Mr. Rosenberg has not been employed during the past ten years. From 1982 until 1995, Mr. Rosenberg was employed as a Director and Secretary of JR Consulting Inc., a public company then quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board that was engaged in providing consulting services. Mr. Rosenberg was appointed to the Board of Directors of Golden Royal so that he could contribute his expertise in business development.

Audit Committee

The Board of Directors has not appointed an Audit Committee. The functions that would be performed by an Audit Committee are performed by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors does not have an “audit committee financial expert,” because there are only two Board members.
