Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by which, that performance or those results will be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on information available at the time they are made and/or management’s good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements.

If we do update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements.
With respect to this discussion, the terms “we” “us” “our” and the “Company” refer to Carriage House Event Center, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiary.
Part I
Item 1. Business
Carriage House Event Center, Inc. (“we, “us,” “our,” the “Company” or “Carriage House”) was incorporated in the state of Colorado on June 26, 2010. On September 11, 2018, we formed a wholly owned subsidiary company, Blue Carriage Events, Inc. As of the date of this filing, we have not conducted any business through the Company or through our subsidiary. Our principal executive offices are located at 558 Castle Pines Parkway,B-4 Suite 140 Castle Pines, Colorado, 80108 Telephone 303-730-7939.
Operations
The Company was formed for the purpose of researching and developing a concept of an Event Center with many additional associated businesses on the grounds of the Event Center.
We have not generated revenue to date. Our operations since 2010 to date has consisted of extensive research of our concept and filing an S-1 registration statement and filings forms 10-K and 10-Q with the SEC.
Our independent registered public accountants have expressed a “going concern” opinion.
In 2020, the Company filed an S-1 Registration Statement to register 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to be sold to the public at the price of $0.10 per share for a total of $100,000. The Registration Statement became effective on May 8, 2020.
The Company sold 300,000 shares of common stock at $0.10 per share for gross proceeds of $30,000. The shares were sold by the officers and Directors of the Company and no broker commissions were paid. There is no guarantee that additional shares will be sold from the Registration Statement.
After the shares offered on the S-1 Registration Statement were sold, our management and related parties continue to own over a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company. As of December 31, 2022, management and affiliates own 4,120,000 shares (92.6%) and the shareholders holding the free stock own 300,000 shares (6.7%). As a result, management has the ability to determine the outcome on all matters requiring approval of our shareholders, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions.
Covid-19 Pandemic
In December 2019 Covid -19 emerged and spread worldwide. The World health Organization Covid-19 a pandemic resulting in federal, state and local governments and private entities mandating restrictions, including travel restrictions, restrictions on public gatherings, stay at home orders and advisories and quarantining of people who may have been exposed to the virus
4
As the pandemic has progressed, new coronavirus variants have been detected around the world.
As the COVID-19 pandemic is complex and continues to rapidly evolve, the economy of the United States, may be negatively affected for a sustained time. We cannot now reasonably estimate the duration and severity of this pandemic, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
Since 2020, the Covid-19 Pandemic has had a dramatic effect on the progress of the Company, especially in raising the funds needed for advancing our business plan. Most cities and states have had strong restrictions on gatherings during the pandemic. Many wedding, corporate and other meetings have been cancelled or postponed for the time being, thus having a dramatic effect on the Event Center business. If the pandemic does not subside quickly, the Company may have to move quickly in a different direction, including seeking a possible merger candidate or candidates.
The wedding event business is the major part of our business plan for an event center.
According to “The Wedding Report,” of July 29, 2020, the Covid-19 Pandemic has had an enormous effect on the wedding business in 2020.
● | 41.5% are or have moved to 2021; | |
● | 7.0% are or have cancelled altogether (some likely married but cancelled the full event); | |
● | 30.5% are trying to hold their current 2020 wedding date; | |
● | 46% of couples are cutting their budget by an average of 31%; | |
● | 58% of couples are cutting their guest count by an average of 41%; | |
● | Even more alarming, 58% of wedding vendors surveyed (6/2020) said they are expecting to lose more 2020 weddings. |
While the report was for the year 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic did not diminish in 2021 and the trend continued through 2022, making the event center business extremely difficult to operate profitably.
Many of those that have had their reservations at an event center, sometimes a year in advance, have had to postpone or cancel, usually because of the requirement to limited numbers of people at gatherings imposed by mayors and governors. The event center business has suffered with these cancellations. So many of the weddings that are going ahead, are doing so in a situation involving far less guests, and held in such places as a back yard. While weddings are a major part of the business of an event center, other meetings such as corporate functions have almost all been cancelled or postponed.
In a survey done in June, 2021 Wedding report did a survey with the results as follows:
● | 20% of 2021 weddings rescheduled out to 2022 | |
● | Businesses are about 10% less booked than 2018/2019, it is a mixed bag |
o | 28% of businesses are more than 25% less booked | |
o | 17% of businesses are more than 25% more booked |
● | Many businesses are reporting that the second half of the year is the busiest for them | |
● | Some are seeing surges already while others are not. I think it depends on where you are in the country and the type of business you are in. | |
● | Many are reporting that this year is not profit or new events, but reschedules, so that is impacting overall profit for the year. | |
● | Some are reporting that couples are still a bit nervous | |
● | Good staffing is hard to find | |
● | Many still reporting smaller weddings |
5
● | 87% of couples say they are not having any issues finding what they need or want | |
● | 10% of couples reporting higher prices prior to pandemic | |
● | 5% of couples reporting hard to find a venue for their date |
● | 15% of couples say they are still cutting budgets by as much as 28% | |
● | 15% of couples say they are still cutting guest counts by as much as 27% | |
● | Both budget cuts and guest count reduction is consistent with what businesses are reporting. |
While the Covid-19 pandemic has subsided and allows for more public meetings, the danger of Covid-19 still impacteds the Event Center Business in early 2022. Since our Company is based heavily on an event center, and thus on meetings of 50 to 1,000 people, the progress of the Company had been dramatically curtailed in a number of ways. First, in the raising of capital through investors in our public offering and in additional private capital. Second in advancing our business plan in a number of areas, including getting the interest of companies that might be interested in participating in our overall concept.
These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
General Information
We are a startup company and have not generated revenues and have a short operating history. Our independent auditor has issued an audit opinion which includes a statement expressing substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our plan is to attempt to continue with our business plan of developing a unique Event Center, If circumstances continue to impact the Event Center business negatively, the company may have to move in a different direction, including seeking a possible merger candidate for the Company.
Our focus for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 will be on continuing to attempt to raise additional capital, more research as to the overall concept and contacting companies that would desire to be a part of the event center concept. The officers of the Company may also seek to find a good candidate for a merger of the Company that would be of benefit to shareholders.
Emerging Growth Company Status under the JOBS Act
Carriage House Event Center, Inc. qualifies as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”).
The JOBS Act creates a new category of issuers known as “emerging growth companies.” Emerging growth companies are those with annual gross revenues of less than $1 billion (as indexed for inflation) during their most recently completed fiscal year. The JOBS Act is intended to facilitate public offerings by emerging growth companies by exempting them from several provisions of the Securities Act of 1933 and its regulations. An emerging growth company will retain that status until the earliest of:
● | The first fiscal year after its annual revenues exceed $1 billion; | |
● | The first fiscal year after the fifth anniversary of its IPO; | |
● | The date on which the company has issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the previous three-year period; and | |
● | The first fiscal year in which the company has a public float of at least $700 million. |
6
Financial and Audit Requirements
Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies are subject to scaled financial disclosure requirements. Pursuant to these scaled requirements, emerging growth companies may:
● | Provide only two rather than three years of audited financial statements in their IPO Registration Statement; | |
● | Provide selected financial data only for periods no earlier than those included in the IPO Registration Statement in all SEC filings, rather than the five years of selected financial data normally required; | |
● | Delay compliance with new or revised accounting standards until they are made applicable to private companies; and | |
● | Be exempted from compliance with Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which requires companies to receive an outside auditor’s attestation regarding the issuer’s internal controls. |
Offering Requirements
In addition, during the IPO offering process, emerging growth companies are exempt from:
● | Restrictions on analyst research prior to and immediately after the IPO, even from an investment bank that is underwriting the IPO; | |
● | Certain restrictions on communications to institutional investors before filing the IPO registration statement; and | |
● | The requirement initially to publicly file IPO Registration Statements. Emerging growth companies can confidentially file draft Registration Statements and any amendments with the SEC. Public filings of the draft documents must be made at least 21 days prior to commencement of the IPO “road show.” |
Other Public Company Requirements
Emerging growth companies are also exempt from other ongoing obligations of most public companies, such as:
● | The requirements under Section 14(i) of the Exchange Act and Section 953(b)(1) of the Dodd-Frank Act to disclose executive compensation information on pay-for-performance and the ratio of CEO to median employee compensation; | |
● | Certain other executive compensation disclosure requirements, such as the compensation discussion and analysis, under Item 402 of Regulation S-K; and | |
● | The requirements under Sections 14A(a) and (b) of the Exchange Act to hold advisory votes on executive compensation and golden parachute payments. |
We have a total of 45,000,000 authorized common shares with a par value of $0.001 per share with 4,450,000 common shares issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2022.
We have 5,000,000 preferred shares, par value $0.001, authorized of which none is issued and outstanding.
Our plan of operation is to continue to attempt to raise additional capital and making contacts with various businesses that might become a part of the Carriage House Event Center program.
Competition
There are over 40 facilities acting as event centers of various types in the Denver metropolitan area. These facilities include those that were constructed to be an event center, older buildings such as homes, restaurants and churches converted into an event center. In addition, hotels with event facilities, restaurants with rooms for events, golf clubs, museums, community centers special facilities open to the public.
7
There is no assurance that we will be able to compete with the existing event centers and those that hold events of all kinds, and new event centers that may be built in the future.
Many of our current and potential competitors may have advantages over us including:
● | Longer operating histories and greater market presence, | |
● | Better name recognition, | |
● | Access to larger customer bases, | |
● | Economies of scale and cost structure advantages, and | |
● | Greater sales and marketing, programming, distribution, technical, financial and other resources. |
These competitors also have established or may establish financial or strategic relationships among themselves or third parties. In addition, some of our competitors have used or may use aggressive pricing or promotional strategies, have stronger relationships on more favorable terms with retail outlets. These relationships may affect the ability of potential customers to purchase our products.
We operate in a highly competitive environment for event centers. The majority of our competitors possess and employ financial, technical and personnel resources substantially greater than ours, which can be particularly important in the areas in which we plan to operate. Those companies may be able to pay more for facilities and personnel than our financial resources permit.
Reorganizations, Purchase or Sale of Assets
There have been no material reclassifications, mergers, consolidations, or purchase or sale of a significant amount of assets not in the ordinary course of business.
Compliance with Government Regulation
Other than what controls that exist now, or may exist in the future for Event Centers, there are no government regulations that will affect our business.
Patents, Trademarks, Franchises, Royalty Agreements or Labor Contracts
We have no patents, trademarks, licenses, concessions, or labor contracts.
Employees and Employment Agreements
Our only employee is our President, A. Terry Ray . Ms. Ray currently devotes 10-20 hours per month to company matters and after receiving funding or a substantial increase in revenues she plans to devote as much time as the board of directors determines is necessary to manage the affairs of the Company. There are no formal employment agreements between the Company and our current employee.

Overview
Carriage House Event Center, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Colorado on June 26, 2010. On September 11, 2018; we formed a wholly owned subsidiary company, Blue Carriage Events, Inc. a Colorado corporation. None of our operations are conducted through this entity. Our principal executive offices are located at 558 Castle Pines Parkway B-4 Suite 140, Castle Pines, Colorado, 80108, telephone 303-730-7939.
We are a company formed for the purpose of developing a unique Event Center, encompassing a variety of additional services in the same location. However, the Covid-19 Pandemic has had a dramatic effect on the progress of the Company. If circumstances continue to impact the Event Center business negatively, the company may have to move in a different direction, including seeking a possible merger candidate for the Company.
The Year Ended December 31, 2022 Compared To The Year Ended December 31, 2021
For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, we did not earn any revenue.
Operating expenses
For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, we had general and administrative expenses of $13,824 and $27,286, respectively, a decrease of $13,462 or 49.3%. The decrease in the current year can be attributed to a decrease of $4,615 in professional fees. In the prior year we incurred a $10,000 expense for FINRA related filings. We had no similar expense in the current period.
Net Loss
For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, our net loss was $13,824 and $27,286, respectively.
11
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our cash balance at December 31, 2022 was $1,440, with $111,800 in loans payable to related parties. If we experience a shortage of funds in the next twelve months, we may utilize additional funds from our director, A. Terry Ray, who has agreed to advance funds for operations, however there is no formal commitment, arrangement or legal obligation to advance or loan funds to us.
Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $13,824 for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared with $27,286 used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Investing Activities
We neither generated nor used cash in investing activities during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.
Financing Activities
Cash flows provided by financing activities were $14,300 and $16,000 during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. All cash received was from related party loans.
We have not yet generated sustained profits from our operations. Our independent registered public accountants have expressed a "going concern" opinion. As of December 31, 2022, we had an accumulated deficit of $144,510.
While our current burn rate is nominal, it is expected that our costs of operations will continue to exceed revenues, primarily due to the costs associated with being a public reporting company. Based upon our current business plan, we will continue to incur losses in the foreseeable future and there can be no assurances that we will ever establish profitable operations. These and other factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Plan of Operation
Our auditor has issued a going concern opinion. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we raise additional capital either through the sale of common stock or incurrence of debt. There is no assurance we will ever reach that point. In the meantime, the continuation of the Company is dependent upon the continued financial support from our shareholders, our ability to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations and the attainment of profitable operations.
Our plan of operation for the fiscal year 2023 will be on to attempt to raise the capital needed to construct the event center and pursue those companies that would desire to be a part of the overall concept. However, the Covid-19 Pandemic has had a dramatic effect on the progress of the Company and while the Pandemic has subsided, the Company has had difficulty in raising needed funds and may have to move in a different direction.
We anticipate spending $14,000 on professional fees, including fees payable for complying with reporting obligations, $2,000 in general administrative costs and $1,500 in working capital. Total expenditures over the next 12 months are therefore expected to be approximately $17,500.
Management intends to keep the Company current in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and maintain compliance going forward.
Critical Accounting Policies, Judgments and Estimates
Refer to Note 2 for a summary of our significant accounting policies.
12
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, we have incurred net losses of $13,824 and $27,286 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and have an accumulated deficit of $144,510 as of December 31, 2022, which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Management believes the Company will continue to incur losses and negative cash flows from operating activities for the foreseeable future and will need additional equity or debt financing to sustain its operations until it can achieve profitability and positive cash flows, if ever. Management plans to seek additional debt and/or equity financing for the Company but cannot assure that such financing will be available on acceptable terms.
Our current management has agreed to advance funds to the Company on an “as needed” basis. Should existing management, stockholders or our affiliates refuse to advance needed funds, however, we would be forced to turn to outside parties to either lend funds to us or buy our securities. There is no assurance that we will be able to raise the necessary funds, when needed, from outside sources. Such a lack of funds could result in severe consequences to us, including among others:
● | failure to make timely filings with the SEC as required by the Exchange Act, which may also result in suspension of trading or quotation of our stock and could result in fines and penalties to us under the Exchange Act; and |
● | failure to increase sales and income for the Company. |
The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to ultimately attain profitable operations, generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations, and obtain additional financing as may be required. Our auditors have included a “going concern” qualification in their Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants accompanying our audited financial statements appearing elsewhere herein which cites substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Such a “going concern” qualification may make it more difficult for us to raise funds when needed. The outcome of this uncertainty cannot be assured.
The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. There can be no assurance that management will be successful in implementing its business plan or that the successful implementation of such business plan will actually improve.

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Carriage House Event Center, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 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.
Consideration of the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has suffered recurring losses and has no operations, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2022 and 2021
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Carriage House Events Center, Inc. (the “Company” or “We”) was incorporated under the laws of the State Colorado on June 26, 2010. The Company is developing its planned principal operations.
A new corporation, Blue Carriage Events, Inc. (“Blue Carriage”), was formed under the laws of the State of Colorado in September 2018. Blue Carriage issued the Company
shares and is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) and are reported in United States dollars.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
We maintain our cash in bank deposit accounts, the balances of which at times may exceed federally insured limits. We continually monitor our banking relationships and consequently have not experienced any losses in our accounts. We believe we are not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and Blue Carriage Events, Inc.; wholly-owned subsidiary. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, Blue Carriage had no transactions and has no bank account.
We account for equity-based transactions with employees and non-employees under the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, which establishes that equity awards issued to employees and non-employees for services are valued at the grant date fair value of the equity award. An expense is recognized over the requisite service or vesting period. The fair value of stock options issued as compensation shall be estimated by using a valuation technique or model that complies with the measurement objective, as described in ASC 718.
F-7
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with US GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below:
Level 1: Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
Level 2: Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.
Level 3: Pricing inputs that are generally unobservable inputs and not corroborated by market data.
The carrying amount of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and accrued expenses, approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. The Company’s related party debt approximates the fair value of such instruments based upon management’s best estimate of interest rates that would be available to the Company for similar financial arrangements at December 31, 2022 and 2021.
Income Taxes
The Company follows Section 740-10-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the fiscal year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the fiscal years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the Statements of Income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company follows section 740-10-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Section 740-10-25”) with regards to uncertainty income taxes. Section 740-10-25 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the consolidated financial statements. Under Section 740-10-25, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Section 740-10-25 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. The Company had no material adjustments to its liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits according to the provisions of Section 740-10-25.
F-8
Net income (loss) per common share is computed pursuant to ASC 260, Earnings per Share. Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during the period. The Company has no potentially dilutive shares as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.
Recent Accounting Standards
The Company has reviewed and implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and applicable. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the consolidated financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred losses since inception and has used mainly related party loans to finance activities during the period from June 26, 2010 (inception) through December 31, 2022, with no resulting revenues. The Company does not have sufficient working capital for its planned activity, and to service its debt, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to achieve a level of profitable operations and/or additional financing impacts the Company’s ability to continue as it is presently organized. Management continues to develop its planned principal operations. Should management be unsuccessful in its operating activities, the Company may substantially curtail or terminate its operations. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The COVID-19 Pandemic has had a dramatic effect on the wedding business in America and the operations of the Company. The Event Center business has been diminished dramatically because of rules against gatherings in most cities and states. It has become extremely difficult for the Company to continue with its proposed business plan and to raise the additional funding to construct the event center as outlined in the Company business plan.
Many that have had their reservations at an event center, sometimes a year in advance, have had to postpone or cancel, usually because of the requirement to limited numbers of people at gatherings imposed by mayors and governors. The event center business has suffered with these cancellations. So many of the weddings that are going ahead, are doing so in a situation involving far less guests, and held in such places as a back yard. While weddings are a major part of the business of an event center, other meetings such as corporate functions have almost all been cancelled.
Since our Company is based heavily on an event center, and thus on meetings of 50 to 1,000 people, the progress of the Company has been dramatically curtailed in a number of ways. First, in the raising of capital through investors in our public offering and in additional private capital. Second, in advancing our business plan in a number of areas, including getting the interest of companies that might be interested in participating in our overall concept.
While the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided and allow public meetings. the pandemic has had a dramatic effect on the progress of the Company, and as a result, the Company may have to change directions, including seeking a merger candidate for the company.

NOTE 5 – STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY
Common Stock
There are
shares of Common Stock, par value, authorized, with shares issued and outstanding at December 31, 2022 and 2021.The holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders. Holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefore, subject to any preferential dividend rights of outstanding Preferred Stock, which may be authorized and issued in the future. Upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably the net assets available after the payment of all debts and other liabilities, and subject further only to the prior rights of any outstanding Preferred Stock which may be authorized and issued in the future.
The holders of Common Stock have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights. The outstanding shares of Common Stock are, and the shares offered herein will be, when issued and paid for, fully paid and non-assessable. Cumulative voting in the election of directors is not permitted and the holders of a majority of the number of outstanding shares will be in a position to control the election of directors at a general shareholder meeting and may elect all of the directors standing for election. We have no present intention to pay cash dividends to the holders of Common Stock.
Preferred Stock
We have
shares of Preferred Stock authorized, none of which have been designated. shares are issued and outstanding.NOTE 6 – INCOME TAX
Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. The Company is using the U.S. federal income tax rate of 21%.

Current Operations | $ | (2,900 | ) | $ | (5,700 | ) |

The cumulative tax effect at the expected rate of 21% of significant items comprising our net deferred tax amount is as follows:
2022 | 2021 | |||||

Net operating loss carryover | $ | (30,300 | ) | $ | (27,400 | ) |
Less: valuation allowance | 30,300 | 27,400 | ||||
Net deferred tax asset | $ | $ |
At December 31, 2022, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $144,500 that may be offset against future taxable income. No tax benefit has been reported in the December 31, 2022 or 2021 consolidated financial statements since the potential tax benefit is offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.
Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carry forwards for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur, net operating loss carry forwards may be limited as to use in future years.
ASC 740, Income Taxes, provides guidance on the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements. ASC 740 requires a company to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position. If the more-likely-than-not threshold is met, a company must measure the tax position to determine the amount to recognize in the consolidated financial statements.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various state and local jurisdictions. Federal income tax returns prior to fiscal year 2018 are closed.
The Company includes interest and penalties arising from the underpayment of income taxes in the statements of operations in the provision for income taxes. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.
NOTE 7 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Management has evaluated subsequent events pursuant to the requirements of ASC 855, Subsequent Events, from the balance sheet date through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued and has determined that no material subsequent events exist.
F-11
ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURES
We have had no “disagreements” (as such term is defined in Item 304 of Regulation S-K) with our Accountant on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded such controls and procedures to be ineffective as of December 31, 2022, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission's.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15 (f) and 15d- 15 (f) under the Exchange Act, for the Company.
Our internal control over financial reporting is the process designed by and under the supervision of our CEO and CFO, or the persons performing similar functions, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external reporting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Management has evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control over Financial Reporting - Guidance for Smaller Public Companies.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our CEO and CFO, or the persons performing similar functions, our management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, and concluded that it is not effective because of the material weakness described below:
In connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, due to resource constraints, material weaknesses became evident to management regarding our inability to generate all the necessary disclosure for inclusion in our filings with the Securities and Exchanges Commission due to the lack of resources and segregation of duties. The Company has not established an audit committee and lacks documentation of its internal control processes. A material weakness is a significant deficiency in one or more of the internal control components that alone or in the aggregate precludes our internal controls from reducing to an appropriately low level the risk that material misstatements in our consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the registrant’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the registrant to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
25
Evaluation of Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the period ended December 31, 2022, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Securities Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We intend to recruit additional professionals, as our business conditions warrant, to ensure that we include all necessary disclosure in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Although we believe that these corrective steps will enable management to conclude that the internal controls over our financial reporting are effective when the staff is in place and trained, we cannot provide assurance that these steps will be sufficient. We may be required to expend additional resources to identify, assess and correct any additional weaknesses in internal control.
Important Considerations
The effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting is subject to various inherent limitations, including cost limitations, judgments used in decision making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the soundness of our systems, the possibility of human error, and the risk of fraud. Moreover, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions and the risk that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate over time. Because of these limitations, there can be no assurance that any system of disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will be successful in preventing all errors or fraud or in making all material information known in a timely manner to the appropriate levels of management.

Term of Office
Our directors are appointed for a one-year term to hold office until the next annual general meeting of our shareholders or until removed from office in accordance with our bylaws. Our officers are appointed by our board of directors and hold office until removed by the board.
Significant Employees
We have no significant employees other than our officers.
Director or Officer Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
During the past five (5) years, none of the following occurred with respect to one of our present or former directors or executive officers: (1) any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two (2) years prior to that time; (2) any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); (3) being subject to any order, judgment or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of any competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; and (4) being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Commodities Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated.

Director Independence
We are not at this time required to have our board comprised of a majority of “independent directors” as we are not subject to the listing requirements of any national securities exchange or association,
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires a company’s directors, officers, and stockholders who beneficially own more than 10% of any class of equity securities of the Company registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act (collectively referred to herein as the “Reporting Persons”), to file initial statements of beneficial ownership of securities and statements of changes in beneficial ownership of securities with respect to the company’s equity securities with the SEC. All Reporting Persons are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all reports that such Reporting Persons file with the SEC pursuant to Section 16(a).
Based solely on review of the copies of such forms furnished to Carriage House Event Center's directors have not filed their reports as of the date of this Annual Report.
Code of Ethics
We have not yet adopted a code of ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller or persons performing similar functions.
Corporate Governance
There have been no changes in any state law or other procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to our board of directors. In addition to having no nominating committee for this purpose, we currently have no specific audit committee and no audit committee financial expert. Based on the fact that our current business affairs are simple, any such committees are excessive and beyond the scope of our business and needs.
Nominating Committee
We have not adopted any procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to our board of directors.
Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert
We do not currently have an audit committee financial expert, nor do we have an audit committee. Our board of directors, which currently consists of Ms. A. Terry Ray handles the functions that would otherwise be handled by an audit committee. We do not currently have the capital resources to pay director fees to a qualified independent expert who would be willing to serve on our board and who would be willing to act as an audit committee financial expert. As our business expands and as we appoint others to our board of directors we expect that we will seek a qualified independent expert to become a member of our board of directors. Before retaining any such expert our board would make a determination as to whether such person is independent.
