ITEM 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Business Development
Hartford Retirement Network Corp. (formerly Dynamic Gold Corp.) (“Hartford” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on January 21, 2004. Our principal offices are located at Suite 8832 Glendon Way, Rosemead, California 91770. Our telephone number is (626) 703-4228.
The Company has not had any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding since incorporation.
There have been no material reclassifications, mergers, consolidations or purchases or sales of any significant amount of assets not in the ordinary course of business since the date of incorporation.
Please note that throughout this Annual Report, and unless otherwise noted, the words “we”, “our”, “us”, the “Company” or “Hartford”, refer to Hartford Retirement Network Corp.
Business of Issuer
We were an exploration stage company until May 2017, at which time we transitioned to a senior retirement solutions company focusing on senior housing and retirement services and products.
On January 20, 2008, the Company allowed its interest in the Sobeski Lake Gold Property Claims to expire. The Sobeski Lake Gold property consisted of three mineral claims located in the Red Lake Mining District, in the province of Ontario, Canada. We had originally acquired our interest in the property by making a cash payment of $3,500 on June 16, 2004 to Dan Patrie Exploration Ltd. the registered owners of the property.
On January 8, 2008, we acquired, through our wholly owned subsidiary, Dynamic Gravel Holdings Ltd., a 100% interest in two gravel claims called the Northern Gravel Claims and Super Mammoth Gravel Claims (together the “Super Mammoth Gravel Project”) situated on tidewater for $25,000. The Super Mammoth Gravel Project was acquired by way of a purchase agreement. Mr. Farshad Shirvani has been paid CDN$25,000.
On April 27, 2017, the Company dissolved its wholly owned subsidiary, Dynamic Gravel Holdings Ltd. as part of the Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) dated April 4, 2017, between Tim Coupland and Brian Game, the Company’s former principal stockholders (the “Sellers”) and Hartford International Retirement Network, Inc. (the “Buyer”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Sellers agreed to sell to the Buyer, and the Buyer agreed to purchase from Sellers, a total of 5,185,000 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Sellers (the “Purchase Shares”). The Purchase Shares represented approximately 52.1% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.
In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, the Board appointed Lianyue Song, Aaron Schottelkorb and Fuming Lin to fill vacancies on the Company’s Board of Directors caused by resignations of Messer’s’ Coupland, Game and Burylo.
On May 11, 2017, the Company entered into a Memorandum of Understanding for Senior Holiday Service Cooperation with Shanghai Qiao Garden International Travel Agency (“Travel Agent”), superseded by a Retirement Vacation Services Agreement executed by the parties on August 25, 2017 (collectively referred to as the “Agreement”). The Company is engaged in the business of providing hotel rooms at favorable rates to travelers to Los Angeles from China. The Company’s president is a principal owner and CEO of a brand new hotel in Rosemead, California, and the Company is acting as its agent to procure business from Chinese tourists and business travelers. Under the Agreement with the Travel Agent, the Travel Agent has agreed to provide no less than 300 retirement vacation clients per year for a minimum hotel stay of 3,000 nights. The Agreement also provides for payment of a monthly service fee. The Agreement automatically renews on an annual basis unless otherwise terminated by either party in writing. However, the Company intends to enter into a more permanent agreement in September, 2018. From June 1 through July 31, 2017, the Company has received approximately $100,000 in revenues in connection with the Agreement. The Company is currently marketing its hotel travel service to other travel agencies in China and it is also seeking other hotels in Southern California to sign up for its services.
The Company believes that with the execution of the Agreement on May 11, 2017 and the commencement of revenues from its travel service business that it is no longer a “shell” corporation.
In addition, the Company intends to provide management services to retirement homes, commercial properties and apartment buildings in the following China cities: Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hainan and Shenyang.
On May 18, 2017, the Company sold its Northern Gravel Claims and the Super Mammoth Gravel Claims for $1 to the Company’s former officer and a former director to focus its efforts on new business venture in senior retirement services and products in China.
Between July 1 and August 28, 2017, the company sold 27,610,000 shares of its common stock (the “Shares”) to 48 investors for $1,380,500. The Shares were sold by the officers and directors of the Company and no commissions were paid for such sales. All of the investors are residents of China and all offers and sales were conducted in China. The Shares were sold in a private placement pursuant to an exemption under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act), in accordance with Regulation S of the Act. All stock certificates will be affixed with the appropriate Regulation S legend restricting sales and transfers.
Employees
At present, there are no employees, other than the current officers and directors, who devote their time as required to the business operations.
Competition
While the senior retirement services and products business is competitive, management does not anticipate having difficulties retaining customers. The Company is currently marketing its hotel travel service to other travel agencies in China and it is also seeking other hotels in Southern California to sign up for its services.
In the senior retirement services and products sector, our competitive position is insignificant. There are numerous companies with substantially more capital and resources that are capable of securing greater number of customers or contracts with travel agencies overseas. We are not able to compete with such companies. Instead, management has determined that the Company will attempt to focus in its core network, such as Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hainan and Shenyang.
Patents and Trademarks
We do not own, either legally or beneficially, any patents or trademarks.
Risk Factors
An investment in the common stock of the Company involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this annual report before investing in our common stock. If any of the following risks occur, our business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
Risks Relating to the Company
If we do not obtain additional financing, our business will fail.
Our cash reserves are not sufficient to meet our obligations for the next-twelve month’s period. As a result, we will need to seek additional funding in the near future. We currently do not have a specific plan of how we will obtain such funding. However, we anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. As well, our management is prepared to provide us with short-term loans.
We will require additional financing to sustain our business operations. We do not currently have any arrangements for financing and we can provide no assurance to investors that we will be able to find such financing if required. Obtaining additional financing would be subject to a number of factors, including general market conditions. These factors may make the timing, amount, terms or conditions of additional financing unavailable to us.
The most likely source of future funds presently available to us is through the sale of equity capital or loans from our directors. Any sale of share capital will result in dilution to existing shareholders.
From June 1 through July 31, 2017, the Company has received approximately $100,000 in revenues in connection with the Agreement with the Travel Agent. Also, between July 1 and August 28, 2017, the company sold 27,610,000 shares of its common stock (the “Shares”) to 48 investors for $1,380,500. However, there is no guarantee that we will able to obtain additional financing in the future.
Because we have limited business operating history and we face a high risk of business failure.
We have been operating the senior retirement services and products business since May 2017. Accordingly, we have no way to evaluate the likelihood that our business will be successful.
Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by new retirement services and products companies and the high rate of failure of such enterprises. These potential problems include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to securing customers and travel agents, and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates.
There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful, and we can provide investors with no assurance that we will generate any operating revenues or ever achieve profitable operations. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will most likely fail.
Our independent auditor believes there is substantial doubt that we will continue as a going concern. If we do not continue as a going concern, you will lose your investment.
The Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm to our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2017, indicates that there are a number of factors that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Such factors identified in the report are our net loss position, our failure to attain profitable operations and our dependence upon obtaining adequate financing. If we are not able to continue as a going concern, it is likely investors will lose their investments.
Because our directors own 52.1% of our outstanding common stock, they could make and control corporate decisions that may be disadvantageous to other minority shareholders.
Our directors own approximately 52.1% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. Accordingly, they will have a significant influence in determining the outcome of all corporate transactions or other matters, including mergers, consolidations, and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets. They will also have the power to prevent or cause a change in control. The interests of our directors may differ from the interests of the other stockholders and thus result in corporate decisions that are disadvantageous to other shareholders.
Because our directors have other business interests, they may not be able or willing to devote a sufficient amount of time to our business operations, causing our business to fail.
Our President will be devoting only 60% of his time to our business upon commencement of business operations. Currently our, Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary devote approximately 80% of their time to our affairs. It is possible that the demands on our officers and directors from their other obligations could cause them to be unable to devote sufficient time to the management of our business. In addition, they may not possess sufficient time for our business if the demands of managing our business increased substantially beyond current levels.
Risks Relating to Our Common Stock
The trading price of our common stock on the OTCQB Venture Market - OTC Market will fluctuate significantly and stockholders may have difficulty reselling their shares.
As of the date of this Annual Report, our common stock trades on the OTCQB Venture Market - OTC Market under the symbol “HFRN”. There is a volatility associated with Bulletin Board securities in general and the value of your investment could decline due to the impact of any of the following factors upon the market price of our common stock: (i) disappointing results from our operations; (ii) failure to meet our revenue or profit goals or operating budget; (iii) decline in demand for our common stock; (iv) lack of funding generated for operations; (v) investor perception of our industry or our prospects; and (vi) general economic trends.
In addition, stock markets have experienced price and volume fluctuations and the market prices of securities have been highly volatile. These fluctuations are often unrelated to operating performance and may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. As a result, investors may be unable to sell their shares at a fair price and you may lose all or part of your investment.
Our common stock is considered a penny stock. Trading of our stock is restricted by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s penny stock regulations which may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.
Our stock is considered a penny stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors”. The term “accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these 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 level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, has adopted sales practice requirements which may also limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.
In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.
Reports to Securities Holders
We are required to file annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission on a regular basis, and will be required to timely disclose certain material events (e.g., changes in corporate control; acquisitions or dispositions of a significant amount of assets other than in the ordinary course of business; and bankruptcy) in a current report on Form 8-K.
You may read and copy any materials we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission at their Public Reference Room Office, 100 F Street, NE, Room 1580, Washington, D.C. 20549-0102. You may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the Securities and Exchange Commission at 1-800-SEC-0330. Additionally, the Securities and Exchange Commission maintains an Internet site (http://www.sec.gov) that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

ITEM 6 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION OR PLAN OF OPERATION
Selected Financial Data
The selected financial information presented below as of and for the periods indicated is derived from our consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with those consolidated financial statements. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this annual report, particularly in the section entitled “Risk Factors” found elsewhere in this report.
Historical results of operations may differ materially from future results.
This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes. The discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations are based upon the consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of any contingent liabilities at the financial statement date and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis the Company reviews its estimates and assumptions. The estimates were based on historical experience and other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results are likely to differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions, but the Company does not believe such differences will materially affect our financial position or results of operations. Critical accounting policies, the policies the Company believes are most important to the presentation of its financial statements and require the most difficult, subjective and complex judgments are outlined below in - “Critical Accounting Policies”.
Explanatory Note on Consolidated Financial Statements
The audited consolidated financial statements included in this report have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Plan of Operations
On May 11, 2017, the Company entered into a Memorandum of Understanding for Senior Holiday Service Cooperation with Shanghai Qiao Garden International Travel Agency (“Travel Agent”), superseded by a Retirement Vacation Services Agreement executed by the parties on August 25, 2017 (collectively referred to as the “Agreement”). The Company is engaged in the business of providing hotel rooms at favorable rates to travelers to Los Angeles from China. The Company’s president is a principal owner and CEO of a brand new hotel in Rosemead, California, and the Company is acting as its agent to procure business from Chinese tourists and business travelers. Under the Agreement with the Travel Agent, the Travel Agent has agreed to provide no less than 300 retirement vacation clients per year for a minimum hotel stay of 3,000 nights. The Agreement also provides for payment of a monthly service fee. The Agreement automatically renews on an annual basis unless otherwise terminated by either party in writing. However, the Company intends to enter into a more permanent agreement in September, 2018. From June 1 through July 31, 2017, the Company has received approximately $100,000 in revenues in connection with the Agreement. The Company is currently marketing its hotel travel service to other travel agencies in China and it is also seeking other hotels in Southern California to sign up for its services.
The Company believes that with the execution of the Agreement on May 11, 2017 and the commencement of revenues from its travel service business that it is no longer a “shell” corporation.
In addition, the Company intends to provide management services to retirement homes, commercial properties and apartment buildings in the following China cities: Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hainan and Shenyang.
Limited Operating History; Need for Additional Capital
In the notes to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2017, included elsewhere in this Form 10-K, the Company’s auditors included an explanatory paragraph stating that, because the Company had cash of $Nil and incurred accumulated losses of $1,061,987 for the period from January 21, 2004 (inception) to June 30, 2017, there was substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
There is limited historical financial information about the Company upon which to base an evaluation of its performance. The Company shifted its focus to senior housing and retirement services and products in May 2017 and have been operating for a few months. The Company cannot guarantee it will be successful in its business operations. The Company’s business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new resource exploration company, including limited capital resources, unanticipated problems relating to exploration and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates. To become profitable the Company will attempt to implement its plan of operation as detailed above.
Our cash reserves are not sufficient to meet our obligations for the next twelve-month period. As a result, we will need to seek additional funding in the near future. We currently do not have a specific plan of how we will obtain such funding. However, we anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. As well, our management is prepared to provide us with short-term loans.
We cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock or through a loan from our directors to meet our obligations over the next twelve months. We do not have any arrangements in place for any future equity financing.
If we are unable to arrange additional financing, our business plan will fail and operations will cease.
Results of Operations for the Year Ending June 30, 2017
Pursuant to the Agreement with the Travel Agent in May 2017, the Company recorded a revenue of $50,000 for the year ended June 30, 2017. The $50,000 was received in July 2017.
The Company’s net income for the year ended June 30, 2017 was $29,464 compared to a net loss of $148,178 for the year ended June 30, 2016. Contributing to the period over period differences were bank charges and interest of $276 (2016 - $342), filing and financing fees of $12,325 (2016 - $9,644), legal and accounting fees of $15,934 (2016 - $15,092), management fees of $45,000 (2016 - $60,000), rent of $2,700 (2016 - $3,600), consulting fees of $Nil (2016 - $1,568), mineral property exploration expenditure of $3,741 (2016 - $Nil), regulatory fees of $12,258 (2016 - $7,500) and travel expenses of $426 (2016 - $Nil).
Also, during the year ended June 30, 2017, the Company recognized a reversal of income tax penalties of $50,000 and wrote-off $21,324 in accounts payable mostly due to the former officer and a former director. If not for these non-recurring items, the Company would have reported a loss of $41,860 from the operations. For these reasons our auditors believe that there is substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At June 30, 2017, we had cash on hand of $Nil (2016 - $2,649) and liabilities of $15,887 (2016 - $65,600) consisting of accounts payable and accrued liabilities. In 2016, the Company received an assessment for penalties from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) regarding failure to file certain supplementary forms for the tax years 2007 to 2011. In 2017, these penalties were reversed by the IRS.
We will require additional funding in order to cover all anticipated administration costs and to proceed with the Retirement Vacation Services Agreement executed on August 25, 2017 and to seek out additional travel agents for similar contracts. The Company also intends to provide management services to retirement homes, commercial properties and apartment buildings in China, which will result in higher administrative costs in the future.
Capital Expenditures
The Company expended no amounts on capital expenditures for the period from inception to June 30, 2017. At present, there are no transactions being contemplated by management or the board that would affect the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of any asset of the Company.
Off-balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that would require disclosure.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparing financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates, and the recognition of revenues and expenses for the reporting periods. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies.
Basis of presentation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to exploration stage enterprises, and are expressed in U.S. dollars. The Company’s fiscal year end is June 30.
Principles of consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary Dynamic Gravel Holdings Ltd. (“Dynamic Gravel”), a corporate incorporated in Alberta, Canada, from the date of its incorporation on 21 November 2007 to the date of its dissolution on 27 April 2017. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Mineral property costs
The Company was primarily engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties.
Mineral property acquisition costs were initially capitalized as tangible assets when purchased. At the end of each fiscal quarter end, the Company assessed the carrying costs for impairment. If proven and probable reserves were established for a property and it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed, costs were to be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve.
Mineral property exploration costs were expensed as incurred.
Estimated future removal and site restoration costs, when determinable were provided over the life of proven reserves on a units-of-production basis. Costs, which include production equipment removal and environmental remediation, were estimated each period by management based on current regulations, actual expenses incurred, and technology and industry standards. Any charge was included in exploration expense or the provision for depletion and depreciation during the period and the actual restoration expenditures were charged to the accumulated provision amounts as incurred.
To date, the Company has not established any proven or probable reserves on its mineral properties and incurred only acquisition and exploration costs.
Financial instruments
The carrying amounts of cash and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these items. These fair value estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates. The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes, not does it utilize derivative instruments in the management of foreign exchange, commodity price or interest rate market risks.
Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risk arising from these financial instruments.
Derivative financial instruments
The Company has not, to the date of these consolidated financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
Environmental expenditures
The operations of the Company have been, and may in the future, be affected from time to time, in varying degrees, by changes in environmental regulations, including those for future reclamation and site restoration costs. Both the likelihood of new regulations and their overall effect upon the Company vary greatly and are not predictable. The Company’s policy is to meet or, if possible, surpass standards set by relevant legislation, by application of technically proven and economically feasible measures.
Environmental expenditures that relate to ongoing environmental and reclamation programs are charged against earnings as incurred or capitalized and amortized depending on their future economic benefits. Estimated future reclamation and site restoration costs, when the ultimate liability is reasonably determinable, are charged against earnings over the estimated remaining life of the related business operation, net of expected recoveries.
Income taxes
Deferred income taxes are reported for timing difference between items of income or expense reported in the consolidated financial statements and those reported for income tax purposes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes”, which requires the use of the asset/liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes and tax benefits 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, and for tax loss and credit carry-forwards. 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 Company provides for deferred taxes for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carry-forwards when realization is more likely than not.
Basic and diluted loss per share
The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all potentially dilutive shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
Comprehensive loss
ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the consolidated financial statements. As at June 30, 2016, the Company has no items that represent a comprehensive loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the consolidated financial statements.
Segments of an enterprise and related information
ASC 280, “Segment Reporting”, establishes guidance for the way that public companies report information about operating segments in annual consolidated financial statements and requires reporting of selected information about operating segments in interim consolidated financial statements issued to the public. It also establishes standards for disclosures regarding products and services, geographic areas and major customers. ASC 280 defines operating segments as components of a company about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company has evaluated this Codification and does not believe it is applicable at this time.
Start-up expenses
The Company has adopted ASC 720-15, “Start-Up Costs”, which requires that costs associated with start-up activities be expensed as incurred. Accordingly, start-up costs associated with the Company’s formation have been included in the Company’s expenses for the period from the date of inception on January 21, 2004 to June 30, 2016.
Foreign currency translation
The Company’s functional and reporting currency is in U.S. dollars. The consolidated financial statements of the Company are translated to U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters”. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income. The Company has not, to the date of these consolidated financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
Use of estimates
The preparation of consolidated 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 amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Concentration of credit risk
The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of its cash and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions of high credit worthiness. At times, its cash and cash equivalents with a particular financial institution may exceed any applicable government insurance limits. The Company’s management also routinely assesses the financial strength and credit worthiness of its customers and any parties to which it extends funds and as such, it believes that any associated credit risk exposures are limited.
Risks and uncertainties
The Company operates in the resource exploration industry that is subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including financial, operational, technological, and other risks associated with operating a resource exploration business, including the potential risk of business failure.
Comparative figures
Certain comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to the current year’s presentation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2015, Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) guidance was issued related to revenue from contracts with customers. The new standard provides a five-step approach to be applied to all contracts with customers and also requires expanded disclosures about revenue recognition. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after 15 December 2016, including interim periods and is to be retrospectively applied. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact it will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The Company does not issue or invest in financial instruments or their derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. The limited operations of the Company were conducted primarily in Canada, now in California, USA, and, are not subject to material foreign currency exchange risk. Although the Company has outstanding debt and related interest expense, market risk of interest rate exposure in the United States is currently not material.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Hartford Retirement Network corp. (formerly Dynamic Gold Corp.):
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Hartford Retirement Network Corp. (the “Company”) as at June 30, 2017 and 2016 and the related consolidated statements of operations and deficit, and cash flows, and changes in stockholders’ equity 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 an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its 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 also 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 audits provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at June 30, 2017 and 2016 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, to date, the Company has reported losses since inception from operations and requires additional funds to meet its obligations and fund the costs of its operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in this regard are described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
Hartford Retirement Network Corp. (formerly Dynamic Gold Corp.) (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on 21 January 2004.
Effective 26 June 2017, the Company changed its name to Hartford Retirement Network Corp. and increased its authorized shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share from 75,000,000 to 200,000,000 and authorized 10,000,000 preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, with such rights, preferences and limitations as may be set from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors (Note 5).
These consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Company was in the business of acquiring and exploring mineral properties. In May 2017, the Company shifted its focus to senior housing and retirement services and products. The Company is devoting all of its present efforts in establishing a new business.
The Company’s consolidated financial statements as at 30 June 2017 and for the year then ended 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. The Company reported an income of $29,464 for the year ended 30 June 2017 (30 June 2016 - loss of $148,178, 30 June 2015 - loss of $116,098) and has a working capital of $34,213 at 30 June 2017 (30 June 2016 - deficit of $62,951).
Management cannot provide assurance that the Company will ultimately achieve profitable operations or become cash flow positive, or raise additional debt and/or equity capital. Management believes that the Company’s capital resources will not be adequate to continue operating and maintaining its business strategy for the next 12 months. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital in the near future, management expects that the Company will need to curtail operations, seek additional capital on less favorable terms and/or pursue other remedial measures. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
At 30 June 2017, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $1,061,987 and cash of $Nil. Although management is currently attempting to implement its new business plan, and is seeking additional sources of equity or debt financing, there is no assurance these activities will be successful. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements.
Basis of presentation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and are expressed in U.S. dollars. The Company’s fiscal year end is 30 June.
Principles of consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary Dynamic Gravel Holdings Ltd. (“Dynamic Gravel”), a company incorporated in Alberta, Canada, from the date of its incorporation on 21 November 2007 to the date of its dissolution on 27 April 2017. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Derivative financial instruments
The Company has not, to the date of these consolidated financial statements, entered into derivative instruments.
Mineral property costs
The Company was primarily engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties.
Mineral property acquisition costs were initially capitalized as tangible assets when purchased. At the end of each fiscal quarter end, the Company assessed the carrying costs for impairment. If proven and probable reserves were established for a property and it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed, costs were to be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve.
Mineral property exploration costs were expensed as incurred.
To date, the Company has not established any proven or probable reserves on its mineral properties and incurred only acquisition and exploration costs (Note 3).
Estimated future removal and site restoration costs, when determinable were provided over the life of proven reserves on a units-of-production basis. Costs, which include production equipment removal and environmental remediation, were estimated each period by management based on current regulations, actual expenses incurred, and technology and industry standards. Any charge was included in exploration expense or the provision for depletion and depreciation during the period and the actual restoration expenditures were charged to the accumulated provision amounts as incurred.
Environmental expenditures
The operations of the Company have been, and may in the future, be affected from time to time, in varying degrees, by changes in environmental regulations, including those for future reclamation and site restoration costs. Both the likelihood of new regulations and their overall effect upon the Company vary greatly and are not predictable. The Company’s policy is to meet or, if possible, surpass standards set by relevant legislation, by application of technically proven and economically feasible measures.
Hartford Retirement Network Corp.
(formerly Dynamic Gold Corp.)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)
June 2017
Environmental expenditures that relate to ongoing environmental and reclamation programs are charged against earnings as incurred or capitalized and amortized depending on their future economic benefits. Estimated future reclamation and site restoration costs, when the ultimate liability is reasonably determinable, are charged against earnings over the estimated remaining life of the related business operation, net of expected recoveries.
Revenue recognition
Revenue includes service and management fees associated with the operation of senior holiday services. Revenue is recognized when the services are rendered.
Income taxes
Deferred income taxes are reported for timing differences between items of income or expense reported in the consolidated financial statements and those reported for income tax purposes in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, “Income Taxes”, which requires the use of the asset/liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes and tax benefits are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and for tax losses and credit carry-forwards. 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 Company provides for deferred taxes for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carry-forwards when realization is more likely than not.
Basic and diluted net loss per share
The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excluded all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
Segments of an enterprise and related information
ASC 280, “Segment Reporting” establishes guidance for the way that public companies report information about operating segments in annual consolidated financial statements and requires reporting of selected information about operating segments in interim consolidated financial statements issued to the public. It also establishes standards for disclosures regarding products and services, geographic areas and major customers. ASC 280 defines operating segments as components of a company about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company has evaluated this Codification and does not believe it is applicable at this time.

June 2017
Start-up expenses
The Company has adopted ASC 720-15, “Start-Up Costs”, which requires that costs associated with start-up activities be expensed as incurred. Accordingly, start-up costs associated with the Company’s formation have been included in the Company’s expenses for the period from the date of inception on 21 January 2004 to 30 June 2017.
Comprehensive loss
ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the consolidated financial statements. As at 30 June 2017, the Company has no items that represent a comprehensive loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the consolidated financial statements.
Foreign currency translation
The Company’s functional and reporting currency is U.S. dollars. The consolidated financial statements of the Company are translated to U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters”. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income. The Company has not, to the date of these consolidated financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
Use of estimates and assumptions
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Comparative figures
Certain comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to the current year’s presentation.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
In May 2014, Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) guidance was issued related to revenue from contracts with customers. The new standard provides a five-step approach to be applied to all contracts with customers and also requires expanded disclosures about revenue recognition. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after 15 December 2016, including interim periods and is to be retrospectively applied. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact it will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

The acquisition cost of $25,000 was initially capitalized as a tangible asset. During the year ended 30 June 2008, the Company recorded a write-down of mineral property acquisition costs of $25,000 related to the Super Mammoth Gravel Project.

On 18 May 2017, the Company sold its Northern Gravel Claims and Super Mammoth Gravel Claims for $1 to the Company’s former officer and a former director to focus its efforts on new business venture in senior retirement services and products in China.
4. ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND ACCRUED LIABILITIES
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are non-interest bearing, unsecured and have settlement dates within one year.

6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
During the year ended 30 June 2017, a former officer and a former director of the Company made contributions to capital for management fees in the amount of $45,000 (2016 - $60,000, 2015 - $60,000) and for rent in the amount of $2,700 (2016 - $3,600, 2015 - $3,600) (Note 9).
As at 30 June 2017, the Company owed $3,034 (30 June 2016: $Nil) to a director of the Company. The amount is non-interest bearing, unsecured and due on demand (Note 4).
7. SERVICE AGREEMENT
On 11 May 2017, the Company entered into a memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) with Shanghai Qiao Garden International Travel Agency (“Shanghai Travel”), whereby the Company is to provide favorable pricing on hotel rooms in California, USA from 15 May 2017 to 31 May 2018. Shanghai Travel will provide no less than 35 senior tourists per month, 15 days of stay per tourist. The Company will charge Shanghai Travel $80 per tourist per stay as booking fees. Further, the Company will receive a monthly management fees of $2,000.

8. INCOME TAXES
The Company has losses carried forward for income tax purposes to 30 June 2017. There are no current or deferred tax expenses for the year ended 30 June 2017 due to the Company’s loss position. The Company has fully reserved for any benefits of these losses. The deferred tax consequences of temporary differences in reporting items for financial statement and income tax purposes are recognized, as appropriate. Realization of the future tax benefits related to the deferred tax assets is dependent on many factors, including the Company’s ability to generate taxable income within the net operating loss carryforward period. Management has considered these factors in reaching its conclusion as to the valuation allowance for financial reporting purposes.
The provision for refundable federal income tax consists of the following:

(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)
June 2017
The composition of the Company’s deferred tax assets as at 30 June 2017 and 30 June 2016 are as follows:
The potential income tax benefit of these losses has been offset by a full valuation allowance.
As at 30 June 2017, the Company has an unused net operating loss carry-forward balance of approximately $426,287 that is available to offset future taxable income. This unused net operating loss carry-forward balance expires between 2024 and 2037.
During the year ended 30 June 2016, the Company received an assessment for penalties of $50,000 from the Internal Revenue Service regarding failure to file certain supplementary forms for the tax years 2007 to 2011. During the year ended 30 June 2017, the penalties were reversed.

10. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying value of cash, receivable and accounts payable approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of these financial instruments.
Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist of cash and accounts receivable. The Company deposits cash with high credit quality financial institutions as determined by rating agencies. The Company is subject to medium risk with respect to its accounts receivable due to potential non repayments from customers.
Currency Risk
The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in Canadian dollars. The Company has not, to the date of these consolidated financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
If the Canadian dollar had weakened (strengthened) against the U.S. dollar, with all other variables held constant, by 100 basis points (1%) at year end, the impact on net loss and other comprehensive loss would have been insignificant.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company has cash balances and no interest-bearing debt. It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest risk arising from these financial instruments.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with its financial liabilities. The Company is reliant upon a related party and private placements as its sources of cash. The Company has received financing from a related party and private placements in the past; however, there is no assurance that it will be able to do so in the future.
11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
1) Between 1 July 2017 and 28 August 2017, the Company issued 27,610,000 shares of its common stock for gross proceeds of $1,380,500. As at audit report date, $50,000 has been received by the Company.
2) On 25 August 2017, the Company entered into a Retirement Vacation Services Agreement with Shanghai Travel. The Company will provide retirement vacation services to Shanghai Travel from 15 may 2017 to 31 May 2018. The agreement can be renewed automatically on an annual basis. Shanghai Travel will provide at least 300 retirement vacation clients annually, for a minimum total hotel stay of 3,000 nights. The Company will be charging Shanghai Travel $80 per client per hotel stay and $2,000 monthly management fees (Note 7).
ITEM 8
ITEM 8 - CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
We did not have any disagreements on accounting and financial disclosures with our present accounting firm during the reporting period.
ITEM 8A - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Based on the management’s evaluation (with the participation our President and Chief Financial Officer), our President and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of June 30, 2017, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) are effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in this annual report on Form 10-K is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b) Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
Management’s annual report on internal control over financial reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is intended to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our internal control over financial reporting should include those policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with applicable GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the Board of Directors; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including Mr. Lianyue Song, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Jimmy Zhou, our Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and preparation of our quarterly consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2017 and believe they are effective.
Based upon their evaluation of our controls, Mr. Lianyue Song, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Jimmy Zhou, our Chief Financial Officer, has concluded that, there were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting or in other factors during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Attestation report of the registered public accounting firm

Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There were no changes in our internal controls that occurred during the year covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls.
Changes in internal controls
Based on the evaluation as of June 30, 2017, Mr. Lianyue Song, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Jimmy Zhou, our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that there were no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting or in any other areas that could significantly affect our internal controls subsequent to the date of his most recent evaluation, including corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

Conflict of Interest
As our present business plan is focused entirely on building a new business in the senior retirement sector, there is no expectation of any conflict between our business interests and those of our directors. However, possible conflicts may arise in the future.
Our bylaws provide that each officer who holds another office or possesses property whereby, whether directly or indirectly, duties or interests might be created in conflict with his duties or interests as our officer shall, in writing, disclose to the President the fact and the nature, character and extent of the conflict and be approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of our board of directors.
Significant Employees
The Registrant does not presently employ any person as a significant employee who is not an executive officer but who makes or is expected to make a significant contribution to the business of the Company.

None.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
No event listed in Sub-paragraphs (1) through (4) of Subparagraph (d) of Item 401 of Regulation S-B, has occurred with respect to any present executive officer or director of the Registrant or any nominee for director during the past five years which is material to an evaluation of the ability or integrity of such director or officer.
Section 16(A) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(A) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required by Securities and Exchange Commission regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(A) forms they file. Based on our review of the copies of such forms we received, we believe that during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 all such filing requirements applicable to our officers and directors were current in their filings.
Code of Ethics
We have not adopted a written Code of Ethics at this time that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. Our Board of Directors are reviewing the necessity of adopting such a document given we are still in the start-up exploration stage and have limited employees, officers and directors.
Board Committees
Nominating Committee
We do not have a Nominating Committee. Since our formation we have relied upon the personal relationships of our President to attract individuals to our Board of Directors.
We do not have a policy regarding the consideration of any director candidates which may be recommended by our stockholders, including the minimum qualifications for director candidates, nor has our Board of Directors 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 Board 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 members of our Board will participate in the consideration of director nominees.
Compensation Committee
We do not have a Compensation Committee. Our entire Board of Directors review and recommend the salaries, and benefits of all employees, consultants, directors and other individuals compensated by us.
Audit Committee
We do not have a standing Audit Committee. The functions of the Audit Committee are currently assumed by our Board of Directors.

(b) The ability to assess the general application of such principles in connection with the accounting for estimates, accruals and reserves;
(c) Experience preparing, auditing, analyzing or evaluating financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the small business issuer’s financial statements, or experience actively supervising one or more persons engaged in such activities;
