OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION
 
When used in this report, the terms, “we,” the “Company,” “GTSO,” “our,” and “us” refers to Green Technology Solutions, Inc., a Nevada corporation.
 
 

PART I

 
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
 
Overview
 
Green Technology Solutions, Inc. (“GTSO”, “we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company”) was incorporated as XCL Sunrise, Inc. in the State of Delaware on April 1, 1991. We changed our name to Sunrise Energy Resources, Inc. on November 1, 2004. On October 26, 2010, we changed our name to Green Technology Solutions, Inc.
 
On July 28, 2014, the Company reincorporated from Delaware to Nevada. Our board of directors and the owners of a majority of our outstanding voting stock approved the reincorporation. Each of our shareholders as of the record date received one share of the Nevada company’s common stock for each 300 shares of our common stock they owned in the Delaware company, with fractional shares to be rounded up to the next whole share, and number of additional whole shares such that each shareholder will own at least five shares. The board of directors and officers of the Nevada company consists of the same persons who are directors and officers prior to the reincorporation. Our daily business operations will continue at the principal executive offices at 2880 Zanker Road, Suite 203, San Jose, California.
 
GTSO is in the business of trying to keep the world a greener place to live.  Having a greener environment is what we strive to provide so that we may live healthier lives.  The corporate mission is to support the health and wellness sub-market of medical cannabis.
 
Plan of Operations
 
GTSO will be focusing directly on health and wellness.  One of the fastest growing emerging markets in health and wellness is the medical cannabis market.  It has experienced exponential growth and is expected to be a $6 billion market this year.
 
With the medical cannabis market, our product focus within the subsidiary can be categorized into three parts:
 
·  
Business and Support services
o  
Payment processing
o  
Security
o  
Transport
·  
Developing more efficient ways to utilize hemp delivery systems
o  
Edibles
o  
Topical treatments
o  
Drinks
·  
Products, methods, or services supporting the actual producers of the product in this industry.
o  
Specialty organic soils and fertilizers
o  
Lighting systems
o  
Methods to produce other cannabinoid products
 
On November 3, 2014, we closed the acquisition of Mother Parker’s Soil, LLC, a California limited liability company, (“Mother Parker”) for $125,000 to be paid in monthly increments. Mother Parker is a cultivator of organic soils. Through December 31, 2014, we have made payments of $60,000 toward this acquisition. The acquisition of Mother Parker has solidified the Company’s mission to support the horticultural side of the medical cannabis industry.
 
 
In order to more fully support the horticultural market and medical cannabis markets, we plan to expand our operations by researching opportunities in the following areas:
 
·  
Develop more efficient lighting systems and growing mediums. This will require extensive testing with experienced horticulture groups.
 
·  
Assist the newly opened market for hemp products by bringing new delivery technologies to this industry. This would include oral, topical, drinks and vapor inhalants.
 
·  
Provide business support services to the medical cannabis industry, specifically providing secure payment processing services to make retail transactions quicker and safer.
 
·  
Explore the options to enhance security for medical cannabis suppliers in the areas of standard building security and mobile security units, among others. In addition, we plan to explore methods for providing secure transport of product and funds.

CONSEQUENTLY, ALL OF THE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS MADE IN THIS FILING ARE QUALIFIED BY THESE CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS AND THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE OF THE ACTUAL RESULTS OR DEVELOPMENTS.
 
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and plan of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere herein. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements including information about possible or assumed results of our financial conditions, operations, plans, objectives, and performance that involve risk, uncertainties, and assumptions. The actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements.

The words expect, anticipate, estimate or similar expressions are also used to indicate forward-looking statements.
 
Background of our Company
 
Green Technology Solutions, Inc. (“GTSO”, “we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company”) was incorporated as XCL Sunrise, Inc. in the State of Delaware on April 1, 1991. We changed our name to Sunrise Energy Resources, Inc. on November 1, 2004. On October 26, 2010, we changed our name to Green Technology Solutions, Inc.
 
On September 20, 2012, GTSO formed two subsidiaries that hold GTSO’s urban and traditional mining operations. The new subsidiaries are GTSO Urban Mining LLC and GTSO Resources LLC.
 
On July 28, 2014, the Company reincorporated from Delaware to Nevada. Our board of directors and the owners of a majority of our outstanding voting stock approved the reincorporation. Each of our shareholders as of the record date received one share of the Nevada company’s common stock for each 300 shares of our common stock they owned in the Delaware company, with fractional shares to be rounded up to the next whole share, and number of additional whole shares such that each shareholder will own at least five shares. The board of directors and officers of the Nevada company consists of the same persons who are directors and officers prior to the reincorporation. Our daily business operations will continue at the principal executive offices at 2880 Zanker Road, Suite 203, San Jose, California.
 
Plan of Operations
 
We believe we do not have adequate funds to execute our business plan for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional funding. However, should we not raise this capital, we will allocate our funding to first assure that we meet all State, Federal and SEC requirements.
 
As of December 31, 2014, we had cash on hand of $15,173.
 
 
We intend to pursue capital through public or private financing, as well as borrowing and other sources in order to finance our business activities. We cannot guarantee that additional funding will be available on favorable terms, if at all. If adequate funds are not available, then our ability to continue our operations may be significantly hindered.
 
Results of Operations
 
We incurred a net loss of $4,103,145 for the year ended December 31, 2014. We had a working capital deficit of $575,981 as of December 31, 2014. We do not anticipate having positive net income in the immediate future. Net cash used by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $267,827.
 
We continue to rely on advances to fund operating shortfalls and do not foresee a change in this situation in the immediate future. There can be no assurance that we will continue to have such advances available. We will not be able to continue operations without them. We are pursuing alternate sources of financing, but there is no assurance that additional capital will be available to the Company when needed or on acceptable terms.
 
Fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 compared to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.
 
General and Administrative Expenses
We recognized general and administrative expenses of $3,744,176 and $337,081 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. General and administrative expense for the year ended December 31, 2014 includes expense for preferred stock issued for services in the amount of $3,010,644 and for common stock issued for services in the amount of $300,000. Excluding these expenses, general and administrative expense for the year ended December 31, 2014 would have been $433,532. The remaining increase is primarily due to increased professional fees.
 
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased from $522,610 for the year ended December 31, 2013 to $233,969 for the year ended December 31, 2014. Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2014 included amortization of discount on convertible notes payable in the amount of $170,580, compared to $460,420 for the comparable period of 2013.
 
Net Loss
We incurred a net loss of $4,103,145 for the year ended December 31, 2014 as compared to $909,691 for the comparable period of 2013. The increase in the net loss was primarily the result of increased general and administrative expenses, partially offset by the decrease in interest expense discussed above.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
We anticipate needing approximately of $1,000,000 to fund our operations and to effectively execute our business plan over the next eighteen months. Currently available cash is not sufficient to allow us to commence full execution of our business plan. Our business expansion will require significant capital resources that may be funded through the issuance of common stock or of notes payable or other debt arrangements that may affect our debt structure. Despite our current financial status, we believe that we may be able to issue notes payable or debt instruments in order to start executing our business plan. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise money in this fashion and have not entered into any agreements that would obligate a third party to provide us with capital.
 
For the year ended December 31, 2014, we have incurred a net loss of $4,103,145. We had negative cash flow from operating activities of $267,827. We raised the cash amounts used in these activities from the sale of common stock and from advances. We currently have negative working capital of $575,981.
 
As of December 31, 2014, we had $15,173 of cash on hand. This amount of cash will be adequate to fund our operations for less than one month.
 
We have no known demands or commitments and are not aware of any events or uncertainties as of December 31, 2014 that will result in or that are reasonably likely to materially increase or decrease our current liquidity.
 
Capital Resources
 
We had no material commitments for capital expenditures as of December 31, 2014 and 2013. However, should we execute our business plan as anticipated, we would incur substantial capital expenditures and require financing in addition to what is required to fund our present operation.
 
 
Additional Financing
 
Additional financing is required to continue operations. Although actively searching for available capital, the Company does not have any current arrangements for additional outside sources of financing and cannot provide any assurance that such financing will be available.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
We prepare our financial statements in conformity with GAAP, which requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions and apply judgments. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends, and other factors that management believes to be important at the time the financial statements are prepared; actual results could differ from our estimates and such differences could be material. We have identified below the critical accounting policies, which are assumptions made by management about matters that are highly uncertain and that are of critical importance in the presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Due to the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain, materially different amounts could be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. On a regular basis, we review our critical accounting policies and how they are applied in the preparation our financial statements.
 
USE OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
GOING CONCERN - The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company had a net loss of $4,103,145 and generated negative cash flow from operating activities in the amount of $267,827. In view of these matters, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to achieve a level of profitability or to obtain additional capital to finance its operations. The Company intends on financing its future activities and its working capital needs largely from the sale of public equity securities with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
New Accounting Pronouncements

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
 
To the Board of Directors
of Green Technology Solutions, Inc.
 
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Green Technology Solutions, Inc. as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the related statements of operations, shareholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company was not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Green Technology Solutions, Inc. as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods described above in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has a net loss of $4,103,145 and negative cash flow from operating activities of $267,827, which raises doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

GREEN TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS, INC.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2014

Note 1. Background Information
 
Green Technology Solutions, Inc. (“GTSO”, “we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company”) was incorporated as XCL Sunrise, Inc. in the State of Delaware on April 1, 1991. We changed our name to Sunrise Energy Resources, Inc. on November 1, 2004. On October 26, 2010, we changed our name to Green Technology Solutions, Inc.
 
On July 28, 2014, the Company reincorporated from Delaware to Nevada. Our board of directors and the owners of a majority of our outstanding voting stock approved the reincorporation. Each of our shareholders as of the record date received one share of the Nevada company’s common stock for each 300 shares of our common stock they owned in the Delaware company, with fractional shares to be rounded up to the next whole share, and number of additional whole shares such that each shareholder will own at least five shares. The board of directors and officers of the Nevada company consists of the same persons who are directors and officers prior to the reincorporation. Our daily business operations will continue at the principal executive offices at 2880 Zanker Road, Suite 203, San Jose, California.
 
GTSO is in the business of trying to keep the world a greener place to live.  Having a greener environment is what we strive to provide so that we may live healthier lives.  The corporate mission is to support the health and wellness sub-market of medical cannabis.
 
Note 2. Going Concern
 
For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company had a net loss of $4,103,145 and negative cash flow from operating activities of $267,827. As of December 31, 2014, the Company has negative working capital of $575,981. The Company has not begun to generate significant revenue from its operations. It does not expect to generate significant revenue or positive cash flow in the near future.
 
These factors raise a substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
 
The Company does not have the resources at this time to repay its credit and debt obligations, make any payments in the form of dividends to its shareholders or fully implement its business plan. Without additional capital, the Company will not be able to remain in business.
 
Management has plans to address the Company’s financial situation as follows:
 
In the near term, management plans to continue to focus on raising the funds necessary to implement the Company’s business plan. Management will continue to seek out debt financing to obtain the capital required to meet the Company’s financial obligations. There is no assurance, however, that lenders will continue to advance capital to the Company or that the new business operations will be profitable. The possibility of failure in obtaining additional funding and the potential inability to achieve profitability raises doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
 
In the long term, management believes that the Company’s projects and initiatives will be successful and will provide cash flow to the Company that will be used to finance the Company’s future growth. However, there can be no assurances that the Company’s planned activities will be successful, or that the Company will ultimately attain profitability. The Company’s long-term viability depends on its ability to obtain adequate sources of debt or equity funding to meet current commitments and fund the continuation of its business operations, and the ability of the Company to achieve adequate profitability and cash flows from operations to sustain its operations.
 
 
Note 3. Significant Accounting Policies
 
The significant accounting policies that the Company follows are:
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The consolidated financial statements and related disclosures have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of Green Technology Solutions, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
All cash is on deposit with major financial institutions in the United States of America. Deposits with these banks may occasionally exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents were $15,173 and $4,198 at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
 
Revenue and cost recognition
 
In accordance with ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, the Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, product delivery has occurred or the services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.
 
Common stock
 
The Company records common stock issuances when all of the legal requirements for the issuance of such common stock have been satisfied.
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740 Income Taxes. Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements 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. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations. No deferred tax assets or liabilities were recognized as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
 
 
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
 
Basic loss per share is computed in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share, by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share is computed giving effect to all potentially dilutive common shares. Potentially dilutive common shares may consist of incremental shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants and the conversion of notes payable to common stock. In periods in which a net loss has been incurred, all potentially dilutive common shares are considered anti-dilutive and thus are excluded from the calculation. The Company’s convertible debt is considered anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net loss for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. As a result, the Company did not have any potentially dilutive common shares for those periods. For the three months ended October 31, 2014 and 2013, potentially issuable shares as a result of conversions of convertible notes payable have been excluded from the calculation. At December 31, 2014, the Company had 125,240,095 potentially issuable shares upon the conversion of convertible notes payable and interest.
 
Financial Instruments
 
The Company’s balance sheet includes certain financial instruments. The carrying amounts of current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair value because of the relatively short period between the origination of these instruments and their expected realization.
 
FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) defines fair value 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. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
 
 
Level 1
-
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
 
 
Level 2
-
Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
 
 
Level 3
-
Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
 
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2014. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. These financial instruments include accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses. The fair value of the Company’s notes payable is estimated based on current rates that would be available for debt of similar terms that is not significantly different from its stated value.
 
 
The following table presents assets that were measured and recognized at fair value as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the periods then ended on a recurring and nonrecurring basis:

Beneficial Conversion Feature
 
Beneficial conversion feature is a non-detachable conversion feature that is in the money at the commitment date. The Company follows the guidance of ASC Subtopic 470-20 Debt with Conversion and Other Options to evaluate as to whether beneficial conversion feature exists. Pursuant to Section 470-20-30 an embedded beneficial conversion feature recognized separately under paragraph 470-20-25-5 shall be measured initially at its intrinsic value at the commitment date (see paragraphs 470-20-30-9 through 30-12) as the difference between the conversion price (see paragraph 470-20-30-5) and the fair value of the common stock or other securities into which the security is convertible, multiplied by the number of shares into which the security is convertible. When the Company issues an debt or equity security that is convertible into common stock at a discount from the fair value of the common stock at the date the debt or equity security counterparty is legally committed to purchase such a security (Commitment Date), a beneficial conversion charge is measured and recorded on the Commitment Date for the difference between the fair value of the Company’s common stock and the effective conversion price of the debt or equity security. If the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature is greater than the proceeds allocated to the debt or equity security, the amount of the discount assigned to the beneficial conversion feature is limited to the amount of the proceeds allocated to the debt or equity security.
 
Commitments and Contingencies
 
The Company follows ASC 450-20, Loss Contingencies, to report accounting for contingencies. Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated. There were no known commitments or contingencies as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
 
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
We have reviewed the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have effectiveness dates during the periods reported and in future periods. The Company has carefully considered the new pronouncements that alter previous generally accepted accounting principles and does not believe that any new or modified principles will have a material impact on the corporation’s reported financial position or operations in the near term. The applicability of any standard is subject to the formal review of our financial management and certain standards are under consideration.
 
 
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, to improve the transparency of reporting these reclassifications. Other comprehensive income includes gains and losses that are initially excluded from net income for an accounting period. Those gains and losses are later reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into net income. The amendments in the ASU do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. All of the information that this ASU requires already is required to be disclosed elsewhere in the financial statements under GAAP. The new amendments will require an organization to:
 
·
Present (either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes) the effects on the line items of net income of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income - but only if the item reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period; and
   
·
Cross-reference to other disclosures currently required under GAAP for other reclassification items (that are not required under GAAP) to be reclassified directly to net income in their entirety in the same reporting period. This would be the case when a portion of the amount reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income is initially transferred to a balance sheet account (e.g., inventory for pension-related amounts) instead of directly to income or expense.
 
The amendments apply to all public and private companies that report items of other comprehensive income. Public companies are required to comply with these amendments for all reporting periods (interim and annual). The amendment was effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2014. The adoption of ASU No. 2013-02 did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
 
In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, which clarifies which instruments and transactions are subject to the offsetting disclosure requirements originally established by ASU 2011-11. The new ASU addresses preparer concerns that the scope of the disclosure requirements under ASU 2011-11 was overly broad and imposed unintended costs that were not commensurate with estimated benefits to financial statement users. In choosing to narrow the scope of the offsetting disclosures, the Board determined that it could make them more operable and cost effective for preparers while still giving financial statement users sufficient information to analyze the most significant presentation differences between financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and those prepared under IFRSs. Like ASU 2011-11, the amendments in this update will be effective for fiscal periods beginning on, or after January 1, 2013. The Company adopted ASU No. 2013-01 effective January 1, 2014. The adoption of ASU No. 2013-01 did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
 
In May 2014, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-09”).
 
This guidance amends the existing FASB Accounting Standards Codification, creating a new Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customer. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
 
To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply the following steps:
 
 
1.
Identify the contract(s) with the customer
     
 
2.
Identify the performance obligations in the contract
     
 
3.
Determine the transaction price
     
 
4.
Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
     
 
5.
Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligations

 
The ASU also provides guidance on disclosures that should be provided to enable financial statement users to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue recognition and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Qualitative and quantitative information is required about the following:
 
 
1.
Contracts with customers – including revenue and impairments recognized, disaggregation of revenue, and information about contract balances and performance obligations (including the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations)
     
 
2.
Significant judgments and changes in judgments – determining the timing of satisfaction of performance obligations (over time or at a point in time), and determining the transaction price and amounts allocated to performance obligations
     
 
3.
Assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract.
 
ASU 2014-09 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period for all public entities. Early application is not permitted.
 
In June 2014, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation, which removes all incremental financial reporting requirements from GAAP for development stage entities, including the removal of Topic 915 from the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The presentation and disclosure requirements in Topic 915 will no longer be required for the first annual period beginning after December 15, 2014. The revised consolidation standards are effective one year later, in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2014-10 during the year ended December 31, 2014, thereby no longer presenting or disclosing any information required by Topic 915.
 
In June 2014, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-12 “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period” (“ASU 2014-12”).
 
The amendments clarify the proper method of accounting for share-based payments when the terms of an award provide that a performance target could be achieved after the requisite service period. The Update requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. The performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered.
 
The amendments in this Update are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted.
 
In August 2014, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15 “Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”).
 
In connection with preparing financial statements for each annual and interim reporting period, an entity’s management should evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued when applicable). Management’s evaluation should be based on relevant conditions and events that are known and reasonably knowable at the date that the financial statements are issued (or at the date that the financial statements are available to be issued when applicable). Substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern exists when relevant conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, indicate that it is probable that the entity will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). The term probable is used consistently with its use in Topic 450, Contingencies.
 
When management identifies conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, management should consider whether its plans that are intended to mitigate those relevant conditions or events will alleviate the substantial doubt. The mitigating effect of management’s plans should be considered only to the extent that (1) it is probable that the plans will be effectively implemented and, if so, (2) it is probable that the plans will mitigate the conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
 
 
If conditions or events raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, but the substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, the entity should disclose information that enables users of the financial statements to understand all of the following (or refer to similar information disclosed elsewhere in the footnotes):
 
 
a.
Principal conditions or events that raised substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern (before consideration of management’s plans)
     
 
b.
Management’s evaluation of the significance of those conditions or events in relation to the entity’s ability to meet its obligations
     
 
c.
Management’s plans that alleviated substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
 
If conditions or events raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and substantial doubt is not alleviated after consideration of management’s plans, an entity should include a statement in the footnotes indicating that there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). Additionally, the entity should disclose information that enables users of the financial statements to understand all of the following:
 
 
a.
Principal conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern
     
 
b.
Management’s evaluation of the significance of those conditions or events in relation to the entity’s ability to meet its obligations
     
 
c.
Management’s plans that are intended to mitigate the conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
 
The amendments in this Update are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted.
 
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
 
Note 4. Chilerecicla Joint Venture
 
On March 4, 2013, we entered into a letter of intent with Sociedad de Reciclaje de Materiales Metalicos, Electrico, Electronicos y Plasticas Limitada (“Chilerecicla”) to explore opportunities with Latin America electronic waste recyclers for the purpose of recovering precious metals, minerals and waste to energy possibilities.  Chilerecicla is based near Santiago Chile with operations across the country and surrounding regions.
 
On June 6, 2013, GTSO and Chilerecicla signed a joint venture agreement to evaluate, explore and determine the feasibility of a waste management collection, processing and sales operation wherein GTSO will contribute funding and the initial development of a project to acquire electronics and plastic waste for the purpose of selling metals and plastics reuse while Chilerecicla manages the Latin America operations. Under the terms of the agreement, GTSO commits to fund a minimum of $2,500 of the cash flow requirements of the start-up phase of the operations. Chilerecicla agrees to reserve 30% of the gross proceeds of the business for repayment of the initial contribution. At the end of the start-up phase, Chilerecicla will provide GTSO with a detailed timeline, budget and operational plan for further development. Both parties will have 60 days to agree on an appropriate funding strategy for the next phase. GTSO will have no obligation to continue funding the business.
 
 
On September 1, 2013, GTSO and Chilerecicla signed a second joint venture agreement (the “Chilerecicla JV”) to execute an initial spot and single operation as a way to test in practice the planning they have designed so far. Under the terms of this second agreement, GTSO will contribute $50,000 was paid in two installments within the 30 days after the agreement was signed. These funds will be used to purchase electronic and plastic waste in Chile and to export and sell minerals, metals and plastics for reuse. Chilerecicla will manage the process of purchasing and selling the e-waste materials. During the year ended December 31, 2013, GTSO paid 100% of the expenses of the Chilerecicla JV in the amount of $50,000. Under the terms of the agreement, GTSO will receive a minimum of 50% of the net profits of the Chilerecicla JV. No net profits were earned during the year ended December 31, 2013. The Chilerecicla JV operates under the name Chilerecicla E-Waste Limitada.
 
The Chilerecicla JV represents an investment in an unproven start-up operation and an emerging market. Therefore, the likelihood of the Chilerecicla JV to be able to realize profitable operations and positive cash flow is unknown at this time. As a result, GTSO has expensed all investments in this joint venture, although the Company still believes that it represents a positive business opportunity.
 
Note 5. Acquisition of Mother Parker
 
On November 3, 2014, we closed the acquisition of Mother Parker’s Soil, LLC, a California limited liability company (“Mother Parker”) for $125,000. The purchase price was to be paid $25,000 upon signing the purchase agreement on September 5, 2014, $25,000 ten days after signing the agreement, $25,000 30 days after the second payment, and five monthly payments of $10,000. Mother Parker is a cultivator of organic soils. As of December 31, 2014, we have paid $60,000 toward this acquisition. The seller of Mother Parker has verbally agreed to accept the remaining payment as funds become available to the Company.
 
Mother Parker did not have any tangible assets or liabilities on the date of acquisition. The intangible asset that it has is a soil recipe to be used for the cultivation of medical cannabis. The Company has valued the intangible asset at $0 for accounting purposes. In order to realize value from the soil recipe, the Company would have to have access to the capital needed to manufacture, market and distribute the soil. As a result, we have recorded a loss on acquisition of Mother Parker in the amount of $125,000 for the year ended December 31, 2014.
 
Note 6. Investment in Elevated Industries
 
On December 15, 2014, we signed in a profit participation agreement with Elevated Industries Inc. (“Elevated”), a Canadian corporation.  The agreement calls for the Company to contribute up to US$75,000, at its sole discretion. During the year ended December 31, 2014, we have contributed $25,000 toward this joint venture. These contributions are recorded in impairment expense.
 
Note 7. Advances from Third Parties
 
The Company received working capital advances totaling $333,857 and $343,560 during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The total advances outstanding as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 were $0 and $31,250, respectively. These advances are non-interest bearing and payable upon demand. The Company recognized imputed interest of $7,384 and $24,047 during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The imputed interest was recorded as an increase in additional paid in capital.
 
Note 8. Income Taxes
 
There is no current or deferred income tax expense or benefit for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.
 
 
The provision for income taxes is different from that which would be obtained by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to income before income taxes. The items causing this difference for the periods ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 are as follows.

These notes are payable along with interest at maturity and bear interest at 10% per annum. The holder of the notes may not convert the convertible promissory note into common stock if that conversion would result in the holder owing more than 4.99% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding on the conversion date. The convertible promissory notes are convertible into common stock at the option of the holder.

The Company evaluated the application of ASC 470-50-40/55, Debtor’s Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instrument as it applies to the note listed above and concluded that the revised terms constituted a debt modification rather than a debt extinguishment because the present value of the cash flow under the terms of the new instrument was less than 10% from the present value of the remaining cash flows under the terms of the original note. No gain or loss on the modifications was required to be recognized.
 
The Company evaluated the terms of the new note in accordance with ASC Topic No. 815 - 40, Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Stock and determined that the underlying common stock is indexed to the Company’s common stock. The Company determined that the conversion features did not meet the definition of a liability and therefore did not bifurcate the conversion feature and account for it as a separate derivative liability. The Company evaluated the conversion feature for a beneficial conversion feature. The effective conversion price was compared to the market price on the date of the note and was deemed to be less than the market value of underlying common stock at the inception of the note. Therefore, the Company recognized beneficial conversion features in the amounts of $162,947 and $202,160 on June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The beneficial conversion features were recorded as an increase in additional paid-in capital and a beneficial conversion discount. The beneficial conversion discount is being amortized to interest expense over the lives of the notes.
 
Note 10. Related Party Transactions
 
Issuance of Preferred Stock for Services
 
On September 16, 2014, the board of directors designated 1,000,000 shares of Series E preferred stock. The Series E preferred stock has a par value of $0.001 and ranks subordinate to the Company’s common stock as to distributions of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary. The outstanding shares of Series E preferred stock have the right to take action by written consent or vote based on the number of votes equal to twice the number of votes of all outstanding shares of common stock.
 
On the same date, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of Series E preferred stock to Eastern Rim Funds, a Panama corporation, (“Eastern Rim”) for services valued at $20,000. For accounting purposes, the Series E preferred stock was valued at $3,010,644, which was the estimated market value of the shares. The estimated market value was calculated to be twice the market value of the outstanding common stock on the date of issuance since the Series E preferred stockholders have the right to vote based on twice the number of all outstanding shares of common stock. Eastern Rim owned 173,521 shares of common stock, or approximately 53% of the outstanding stock, of the Company prior to this transaction. This transaction did not result in a change in control of the Company.
 
 
Note 11. Stockholders’ Equity
 
Reincorporation and reverse split
 
On July 28, 2014, the Company reincorporated from Delaware to Nevada. The reincorporation was approved by our board of directors and by the owners of a majority of our outstanding voting stock. Each of our shareholders as of the record date received one share of the Nevada company’s common stock for each 300 shares of our common stock they owned in the Delaware company, with fractional shares be rounded up to the next whole share, and number of additional whole shares such that each shareholder will own at least five shares. This effectively resulted in a one-for-300 reverse split. All share and per share amounts have been restated to reflect the reverse split.
 
Issuance of Common Stock for Cash
 
On February 6, 2014, the Company received a stock purchase agreement from Eastern Rim Funds Inc., a significant shareholder of the Company, to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock of the Company for $30,000 in cash. The Company also received a cash payment of $30,000. The par value of the common stock was included in stock payable on the balance sheet as of March 31, 2014.
 
The Company recorded stock compensation expense in the amount of $300,000, which represented the difference in the fair market value of the common stock as of February 6, 2014 and the price paid by Eastern Rim Funds Inc.
 
On May 27, 2014, our board of directors approved the issuance of these shares. Accordingly, the par value of the common stock was removed from common stock payable on our balance sheet and added to our common stock.
 
The issuance of these shares resulted in Eastern Rim Funds Inc. holding a total of 173,521 shares of the Company’s common stock. Eastern Rim Funds Inc. held approximately 53% of the outstanding stock of the Company after the issuance.
 
Imputed Interest
 
The Company recognized imputed interest of $7,384 and $24,047 during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. We recorded the imputed interest as an increase in additional paid-in capital.
 
Treasury Shares
 
We paid $55 for 50 treasury shares on October 15, 2014. These shares were purchased from shareholders who dissented with our reincorporation into Nevada.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

There were no disagreements with accountants on accounting and financial disclosures for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.
 
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered in this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
Limitations on Systems of Controls
 
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. To address the material weaknesses identified in our evaluation, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures in an effort to ensure our consolidated financial statements included in this annual report have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
 
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:
 
·  
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
 
 
·  
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and
 
·  
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Because of its 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 or 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. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
 
As of December 31, 2014, management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments. Based on that evaluation, they concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of US GAAP rules as more fully described below. This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be considered to be material weaknesses.
 
The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: lack of a functioning audit committee; lack of a majority of independent members and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors; inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; and, management is dominated by a single individual.. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by our Chief Executive Officer in connection with the review of our financial statements as of December 31, 2014
 
Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth above did not have an effect on our financial results. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and the lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.

PART III

 
ITEM 10. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Our officers are elected by the board of directors to a term of one (1) year and serve until their successor is duly elected and qualified, or until they are removed from office. The board of directors has no nominating, auditing or compensation committees.
 
The name, address, age and position of our president, secretary/treasurer, and director and vice president is set forth below:
 
Name
 
Age
 
Position
Wallace Browne
2880 Zanker Road, Suite 203
San Jose, CA 95134
 
45
 
President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Principal Accounting Officer, Secretary, Treasurer and Director
 
Mr. Browne was appointed as CEO and a member of the board of directors on May 13, 2014.
 
Biographies
 
Mr. Browne brings to GTSO extensive experience in multiple environmental disciplines, most recently for the last nine years as the owner/vice president of Gulf Environmental Services, Inc., which specializes in asbestos abatement services. Mr. Browne also boasts experience as an environmental compliance manager and as a wastewater operator at a petrochemicals company where he oversaw the commissioning, start-up and operation of a two billion pound per year Ethylene plant.
 
From 2005 through 2010, Mr. Browne was an owner and vice president of Gulf Environmental Services, Inc., a Louisiana asbestos abatement service, where he was responsible for employee safety training and health compliance. From 2010 to the present, Mr. Browne served as a quality control laboratory coordinator for Omega Protein, Inc., which develops, produces and delivers essential nutrients to leading supplement and food manufacturers. He is a graduate of McNeese State University with a bachelor of science degree in environment science and a minor in chemistry.
 
Family Relationships
 
There are no family relationships among our directors, executive officers or persons nominated to become executive officers or directors.
 
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
 
During the past ten (10) years, none of our directors, persons nominated to become directors, executive officers, promoters or control persons was involved in any of the legal proceedings listen in Item 401 (f) of Regulation S-K.
 
Arrangements
 
There are no arrangements or understandings between an executive officer, director or nominee and any other person pursuant to which he was or is to be selected as an executive officer or director.
 
 
Committees of the Board of Directors
 
Our sole director has not established any committees, including an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, or a Nominating Committee, any committee performing a similar function. The functions of those committees are being undertaken by our sole director. Because we do not have any independent directors, our sole director believes that the establishment of committees of the Board would not provide any benefits to our company and could be considered more form than substance.
 
4We do not have a policy regarding the consideration of any director candidates that may be recommended by our stockholders, including the minimum qualifications for director candidates, nor has our sole director established a process for identifying and evaluating director nominees. We have not adopted a policy regarding the handling of any potential recommendation of director candidates by our stockholders, including the procedures to be followed. Our sole director has not considered or adopted any of these policies, as we have never received a recommendation from any stockholder for any candidate to serve on our Board of Directors. Given our relative size and lack of directors and officers insurance coverage, we do not anticipate that any of our stockholders will make such a recommendation in the near future.
 
While there have been no nominations of additional directors proposed, in the event such a proposal is made, all current members of our Board will participate in the consideration of director nominees.
 
Our sole director is not an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of Item 401(e) of Regulation S-K. In general, an “audit committee financial expert” is an individual member of the audit committee or Board of Directors who:
 
·  
understands generally accepted accounting principles and financial statements,
 
·  
is able to assess the general application of such principles in connection with accounting for estimates, accruals and reserves,
 
·  
has experience preparing, auditing, analyzing or evaluating financial statements comparable to the breadth and complexity to our financial statements,
 
·  
understands internal controls over financial reporting, and
 
·  
understands audit committee functions
 
Our Board of Directors is comprised of solely of Mr. Browne who is involved in our day-to-day operations. We would prefer to have an audit committee financial expert on our board of directors. As with most small, early stage companies until such time our company further develops its business, achieves a stronger revenue base and has sufficient working capital to purchase directors and officers insurance, the Company does not have any immediate prospects to attract independent directors. When the Company is able to expand our Board of Directors to include one or more independent directors, the Company intends to establish an Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. It is our intention that one or more of these independent directors will also qualify as an audit committee financial expert. Our securities are not quoted on an exchange that has requirements that a majority of our Board members be independent and the Company is not currently otherwise subject to any law, rule or regulation requiring that all or any portion of our Board of Directors include “independent” directors, nor are we required to establish or maintain an Audit Committee or other committee of our Board of Directors.
 
WE DO NOT HAVE ANY INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS AND THE COMPANY HAS NOT VOLUNTARILY IMPLEMENTED VARIOUS CORPORATE GOVERNANCE MEASURES, IN THE ABSENCE OF WHICH, STOCKHOLDERS MAY HAVE MORE LIMITED PROTECTIONS AGAINST INTERESTED DIRECTOR TRANSACTIONS, CONFLICTS OF INTEREST, AND SIMILAR MATTERS.
 
 
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
 
We have adopted a code of ethics meeting the requirements of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. We believe our code of ethics is reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and promote honest and ethical conduct; provide full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in public reports; comply with applicable laws; ensure prompt internal reporting of violations; and provide accountability for adherence to the provisions of the code of ethic.
