FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
In addition to historical information, some of the information presented in this
Annual Report on Form 10-K contains "forward-looking statements" within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Reform
Act"). Although Golden Dragon Holding Co. ("Golden Dragon" or the "Company,"
which may also be referred to as "we," "us" or "our") believes that its
expectations are based on reasonable assumptions within the bounds of its
knowledge of its business and operations: there can be no assurance that actual
results will not differ materially from our expectations. Such forward-looking
statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those anticipated, including but not limited
to, our ability to raise debt an, or, equity to meet our ongoing operating
expenses and merge with another entity with experienced management and
opportunities for growth in return for shares of our common stock to create
value for our shareholders. Cautionary statements regarding the risks,
uncertainties and other factors associated with these forward-looking statements
are discussed on page 7 below. You are urged to carefully consider these
factors, as well as other information contained in this Annual Report on Form
10-K and in our other periodic reports and documents filed with the SEC.
PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Summary
Golden Dragon Holding Co. ("the Company," "we" or "us") is a publicly quoted
shell company seeking to obtain debt and, or, equity finance to meet our ongoing
operating expenses and attempt to merge with another entity with experienced
management and opportunities for growth in return for shares of our common stock
to create value for our shareholders.
We are a development stage enterprise in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 7, "Accounting and Reporting by Development
Stage Enterprises" now referred to as ACS 915 "Development Stage Entities." We
have been in the development stage since Inception (January 1, 2011).
Historical Operations
Concord Ventures, Inc. ("Concord") was incorporated in August 1998 in the State
of Colorado. On February 16, 2001, we sold our entire business, and all of our
assets, for the benefit of our creditors under a Chapter 11 reorganization. We
were subsequently dismissed from the Chapter 11 reorganization, effective March
13, 2001, at which time the last of our remaining directors resigned. On March
13, 2001, we had no business or other source of income, no assets, no employees
or directors, outstanding liabilities of approximately $8.4 million and had
terminated our duty to file reports under securities law.
In February 2008, we were re-listed on the OTC Bulletin Board and so are now
listed on both the OTC Market's OTCQB and the OTC Bulletin Board and continue
trade under the symbol "GDHC"
Background
In April 2010, Concord incorporated three new subsidiary companies, CCVG, Inc.
("CCVG"), CCAPS Co. ("CCAPS") and Golden Dragon Holding Co. ("Golden Dragon").
All three of the new subsidiary companies were domiciled in Delaware.
Re-domicile in Delaware
In order for Concord to re-domicile in Delaware from Colorado, on September 29,
2010, Concord entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger ("the Merger
Agreement") with its wholly owned subsidiary, CCVG. Under the terms of the
Merger Agreement, Concord shares of common stock converted automatically to CCVG
shares, without change or necessity to reissue. Also under the Merger Agreement,
CCVG became the surviving company domiciled in Delaware.
3
Reorganization into a Holding Company Structure
Effective December 31, 2010, pursuant to the Delaware Holding Company formation
statute, under Delaware General Corporate Law (DGCL) Section 251(g), CCVG
completed an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization into a Holding
Company ("the Reorganization") with CCAPS and Golden Dragon, both wholly-owned
subsidiaries of CCVG. The Reorganization provided for the merger of CCVG with
and into CCAPS, with CCAPS being the surviving corporation in that merger.
Contemporaneously with CCVG's merger with and into CCAPS, the shareholders of
CCVG were converted into shareholders of Golden Dragon on a one share for one
share basis.
As a result of this reorganization into a Holding Company structure, Golden
Dragon became the surviving publicly quoted parent holding company with CCAPS,
the surviving corporation of the merger between CCVG and CCAPS, becoming the
sole remaining wholly-owned subsidiary of Golden Dragon.
The Reorganization has been accounted for so as to reflect the fact that both
CCVG and Golden Dragon were under common control at the date of the
Reorganization, similar to a reverse acquisition of CCVG and its subsidiary
company, CCAPS, by Golden Dragon.
Sale of CCAPS
On December 31, 2010, Golden Dragon entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with
an unrelated third party. Under the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement,
Golden Dragon sold 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of its sole
remaining wholly owned subsidiary, CCAPS for $100 cash consideration, subject to
its debts, and issued 25,000 restricted shares of Golden Dragon common stock,
valued at $1,000, to CCAPS pursuant to the terms of the Share Purchase
Agreement. At the time of the sale, CCAPS had no ongoing operations or assets
and outstanding liabilities of approximately $678,000.
Following the merger of CCVG with and into CCAPS, CCAPS, as the surviving
corporation in that merger, retained all outstanding liabilities of CCVG in the
divestiture.
As a result of the sale of 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of CCAPS,
Golden Dragon, the surviving publicly quoted holding company, will no longer
consolidate the liabilities of CCAPS or CCVG.
PLAN OF OPERATIONS
Our plan of operation is to obtain debt and, or, equity finance to meet our
ongoing operating expenses and attempt to merge with another entity with
experienced management and opportunities for growth in return for shares of our
common stock to create value for our shareholders. There is can be no assurance
that these events can be successfully completed. In particular there is no
assurance that any such business will be located or that any stockholder will
realize any return on their shares after such a transaction. Any merger or
acquisition completed by us can be expected to have a significant dilutive
effect on the percentage of shares held by our current stockholders. We believe
we are an insignificant participant among the firms which engage in the
acquisition of business opportunities. There are many established venture
capital and financial concerns that have significantly greater financial and
personnel resources and technical expertise than we have. In view of our limited
financial resources and limited management availability, we will continue to be
at a significant competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors.
General Business Plan
We intend to seek, investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire an
interest in business opportunities presented to us by persons or firms which
desire to seek the advantages of an issuer who has complied with the Securities
Act of 1934 (the "1934 Act"). We will not restrict our search to any specific
business, industry or geographical location, and we may participate in business
ventures of virtually any nature. This discussion of our proposed business is
purposefully general and is not meant to be restrictive of our unlimited
discretion to search for and enter into potential business opportunities. We
anticipate that we may be able to participate in only one potential business
venture because of our lack of financial resources.
4
We may seek a business opportunity with entities which have recently commenced
operations, or that desire to utilize the public marketplace in order to raise
additional capital in order to expand into new products or markets, to develop a
new product or service, or for other corporate purposes. We may acquire assets
and establish wholly owned subsidiaries in various businesses or acquire
existing businesses as subsidiaries.
We expect that the selection of a business opportunity will be complex. Due to
general economic conditions, rapid technological advances being made in some
industries and shortages of available capital, we believe that there are
numerous firms seeking the benefits of an issuer who has complied with the 1934
Act. Such benefits may include facilitating or improving the terms on which
additional equity financing may be sought, providing liquidity for incentive
stock options or similar benefits to key employees, providing liquidity (subject
to restrictions of applicable statutes) for all stockholders and other factors.
Potentially, available business opportunities may occur in many different
industries and at various stages of development, all of which will make the task
of comparative investigation and analysis of such business opportunities
extremely difficult and complex. We have, and will continue to have, essentially
no assets to provide the owners of business opportunities. However, we will be
able to offer owners of acquisition candidates the opportunity to acquire a
controlling ownership interest in an issuer who has complied with the 1934 Act
without incurring the cost and time required to conduct an initial public
offering.
The analysis of new business opportunities will be undertaken by, or under the
supervision of, our Board of Directors. We intend to concentrate on identifying
preliminary prospective business opportunities which may be brought to our
attention through present associations of our director, professional advisors or
by our stockholders. In analyzing prospective business opportunities, we will
consider such matters as (i) available technical, financial and managerial
resources; (ii) working capital and other financial requirements; (iii) history
of operations, if any, and prospects for the future; (iv) nature of present and
expected competition; (v) quality, experience and depth of management services;
(vi) potential for further research, development or exploration; (vii) specific
risk factors not now foreseeable but that may be anticipated to impact the
proposed activities of the company; (viii) potential for growth or expansion;
(ix) potential for profit; (x) public recognition and acceptance of products,
services or trades; (xi) name identification; and (xii) other factors that we
consider relevant. As part of our investigation of the business opportunity, we
expect to meet personally with management and key personnel. To the extent
possible, we intend to utilize written reports and personal investigation to
evaluate the above factors.
We will not acquire or merge with any company for which audited financial
statements cannot be obtained within a reasonable period of time after closing
of the proposed transaction.
Acquisition Opportunities
In implementing a structure for a particular business acquisition, we may become
a party to a merger, consolidation, reorganization, joint venture, or licensing
agreement with another company or entity. We may also acquire stock or assets of
an existing business. Upon consummation of a transaction, it is probable that
our present management and stockholders will no longer be in control of us. In
addition, our current directors may, as part of the terms of the acquisition
transaction, resign and be replaced by new directors without a vote of our
stockholders, or our controlling shareholder may sell his stock in us. Any such
sale will only be made in compliance with the securities laws of the United
States and any applicable state.
It is anticipated that any securities issued in any such reorganization would be
issued in reliance upon exemption from registration under application federal
and state securities laws. In some circumstances, as a negotiated element of the
transaction, we may agree to register all or a part of such securities
immediately after the transaction is consummated or at specified times
thereafter. If such registration occurs, it will be undertaken by the surviving
entity after it has successfully consummated a merger or acquisition and is no
longer considered a shell company. The issuance of substantial additional
securities and their potential sale into any trading market which may develop in
our securities may have a depressive effect on the value of our securities in
the future. There is no assurance that such a trading market will develop.
While the actual terms of a transaction cannot be predicted, it is expected that
the parties to any business transaction will find it desirable to avoid the
creation of a taxable event and thereby structure the business transaction in a
so-called "tax-free" reorganization under Sections 368(a)(1) or 351 of the
Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"). In order to obtain tax-free treatment under
the Code, it may be necessary for the owner of the acquired business to own 80%
or more of the voting stock of the surviving entity. In such event, our
5
stockholders would retain less than 20% of the issued and outstanding shares of
the surviving entity. This would result in significant dilution in the equity of
our stockholders.
As part of our investigation, we expect to meet personally with management and
key personnel, visit and inspect material facilities, obtain independent
analysis of verification of certain information provided, check references of
management and key personnel, and take other reasonable investigative measures,
to the extent of our limited financial resources and management expertise. The
manner in which we participate in an opportunity will depend on the nature of
the opportunity, the respective needs and desires of both parties, and the
management of the opportunity.
With respect to any merger or acquisition, and depending upon, among other
things, the target company's assets and liabilities, our stockholders will in
all likelihood hold a substantially lesser percentage ownership interest in us
following any merger or acquisition. The percentage ownership may be subject to
significant reduction in the event we acquire a target company with assets and
expectations of growth. Any merger or acquisition can be expected to have a
significant dilutive effect on the percentage of shares held by our
stockholders.
We will participate in a business opportunity only after the negotiation and
execution of appropriate written business agreements. Although the terms of such
agreements cannot be predicted, generally we anticipate that such agreements
will (i) require specific representations and warranties by all of the parties;
(ii) specify certain events of default; (iii) detail the terms of closing and
the conditions which must be satisfied by each of the parties prior to and after
such closing; (iv) outline the manner of bearing costs, including costs
associated with the Company's attorneys and accountants; (v) set forth remedies
on defaults; and (vi) include miscellaneous other terms.
As stated above, we will not acquire or merge with any entity which cannot
provide independent audited financial statements within a reasonable period of
time after closing of the proposed transaction. If such audited financial
statements are not available at closing, or within time parameters necessary to
insure our compliance within the requirements of the 1934 Act, or if the audited
financial statements provided do not conform to the representations made by that
business to be acquired, the definitive closing documents will provide that the
proposed transaction will be voidable, at the discretion of our present
management. If such transaction is voided, the definitive closing documents will
also contain a provision providing for reimbursement for our costs associated
with the proposed transaction.
Competition
We believe we are an insignificant participant among the firms which engage in
the acquisition of business opportunities. There are many established venture
capital and financial concerns that have significantly greater financial and
personnel resources and technical expertise than we have. In view of our limited
financial resources and limited management availability, we will continue to be
at a significant competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors.
Investment Company Act 1940
Although we will be subject to regulation under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and the 1934 Act, we believe we will not be subject to regulation under
the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") insofar as we will not be
engaged in the business of investing or trading in securities. In the event we
engage in business combinations that result in us holding passive investment
interests in a number of entities, we could be subject to regulation under the
1940 Act. In such event, we would be required to register as an investment
company and incur significant registration and compliance costs. We have
obtained no formal determination from the SEC as to our status under the 1940
Act and, consequently, any violation of the 1940 Act would subject us to
material adverse consequences. We believe that, currently, we are exempt under
Regulation 3a-2 of the 1940 Act.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
We do not hold any patents or patent applications.
EMPLOYEES
As of December 31, 2013, Mr. Cutler serves as our Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer. We do not have an employment agreement with Mr. Cutler.
We have no other employees.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
WE HAD APPROXIMATELY $8.4 MILLION OF LIABILITIES OUTSTANDING
The legal advice we have received is that these liabilities have been
extinguished through the passage of time under the statute of limitations or
ceased to be our liabilities following the Reorganization and the sale of CCAPS.
It is possible that creditors may dispute this and could seek to take legal
action against us to collect their alleged debts. The costs of defending such
legal action could be significant and would hinder our ability to complete a
reverse merger.
WE HAVE INCURRED SIGNIFICANT LOSSES AND ANTICIPATE FUTURE LOSSES.
As of December 31, 2013, we had an accumulated deficit of $17,166,915 and a
stockholders' deficit of $292,034.
Future losses are likely to occur as and until we are able to merge with another
entity with experienced management and opportunities for growth in return for
shares of our common stock to create value for our shareholders as we have no
sources of income to meet our operating expenses. As a result of these, among
other factors, we received from our registered independent public accountants in
their report for the financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2013
and 2012, an explanatory paragraph stating that there is substantial doubt about
our ability to continue as a going concern.
OUR EXISTING FINANCIAL RESOURCES ARE INSUFFICIENT TO MEET OUR ONGOING OPERATING
EXPENSES.
We have no sources of income at this time and insufficient assets to meet our
ongoing operating expenses. In the short term, unless we are able to raise
additional debt and, or, equity we shall be unable to meet our ongoing operating
expenses. On a longer term basis, we intend to merge with another entity with
experienced management and opportunities for growth in return for shares of our
common stock to create value for our shareholders. There can be no assurance
that these events will be successfully completed.
WE INTEND TO PURSUE THE ACQUISITION OF AN OPERATING BUSINESS
Our sole strategy is to acquire an operating business. Successful implementation
of this strategy depends on our ability to identify a suitable acquisition
candidate, acquire such company on acceptable terms and integrate its
operations. In pursuing acquisition opportunities, we compete with other
companies with similar strategies. Competition for acquisition targets may
result in increased prices of acquisition targets and a diminished pool of
companies available for acquisition. Acquisitions involve a number of other
risks, including risks of acquiring undisclosed or undesired liabilities,
acquired in-process technology, stock compensation expense, diversion of
management attention, potential disputes with the seller of one or more acquired
entities and possible failure to retain key acquired personnel. Any acquired
entity or assets may not perform relative to our expectations. Our ability to
meet these challenges has not been established.
At the time of this filing, we have not executed any formal arrangement,
agreement or understanding with respect to engaging in a merger with, joint
venture with or acquisition of a private or public entity. There can be no
assurance that we will be successful in identifying and evaluating suitable
business opportunities or in concluding a business combination. We have not
identified any particular industry or specific business within an industry for
evaluation. There is no assurance we will be able to negotiate a business
combination on terms favorable, if at all.
We have not established a specific length of operating history or specified
level of earnings, assets, net worth or other criteria which we will require a
target business opportunity to have achieved, and without which we would not
consider a business combination. Accordingly, we may enter into a business
combination with a business opportunity having no significant operating history,
losses, limited or no potential for earnings, limited assets, negative net worth
or other negative characteristics.
7
SCARCITY OF, AND COMPETITION FOR, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES AND COMBINATIONS
We believe we are an insignificant participant among the firms which engage in
the acquisition of business opportunities. There are many established venture
capital and financial concerns that have significantly greater financial and
personnel resources and technical expertise than we have. Nearly all such
entities have significantly greater financial resources, technical expertise and
managerial capabilities than us and, consequently, we will be at a competitive
disadvantage in identifying possible business opportunities and successfully
completing a business combination. Moreover, we will also compete in seeking
merger or acquisition candidates with numerous other small public companies. In
view of our limited financial resources and limited management availability, we
will continue to be at a significant competitive disadvantage compared to our
competitors.
BECAUSE INSIDERS CONTROL OUR ACTIVITIES, THAT MAY CAUSE US TO ACT IN A MANNER
THAT IS MOST BENEFICIAL TO THEM AND NOT TO OUTSIDE SHAREHOLDERS WHICH COULD
CAUSE US NOT TO TAKE ACTIONS THAT OUTSIDE INVESTORS MIGHT VIEW FAVORABLY
Our sole executive officer, directors, and holders of 5% or more of our issued
and outstanding common stock beneficially own approximately 65% of our issued
and outstanding common stock. As a result, they effectively control all matters
requiring director and stockholder approval, including the election of
directors, the approval of significant corporate transactions, such as mergers
and related party transaction. These insiders also have the ability to delay or
perhaps even block, by their ownership of our stock, an unsolicited tender
offer. This concentration of ownership could have the effect of delaying,
deterring or preventing a change in control of our company that you might view
favorably.
OUR CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER HAS THE ABILITY TO EFFECTIVELY CONTROL SUBSTANTIALLY
ALL ACTIONS TAKEN BY STOCKHOLDERS.
Mr. Cutler, the sole officer and a director of the Company owns in excess of our
50% of our issued and outstanding common stock and is able to effectively
control substantially all actions taken by our stockholders, including the
election of directors. Such concentration of ownership could also have the
effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control that might
otherwise be beneficial to stockholders and may also discourage acquisition bids
for us and limit the amount certain investors may be willing to pay for shares
of common stock.
OUR DIRECTORS MAY HAVE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST WHICH MAY NOT BE RESOLVED FAVORABLY
TO US.
Certain conflicts of interest may exist between our directors and us. Our
Directors have other business interests to which they devote their attention,
and may be expected to continue to do so although management time should be
devoted to our business. As a result, conflicts of interest may arise that can
be resolved only through exercise of such judgment as is consistent with
fiduciary duties to us. See "Directors, Executive Officers, Promoters and
Corporate Governance" (page 19), and "Conflicts of Interest." (page 20).
WE MAY DEPEND UPON OUTSIDE ADVISORS, WHO MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE ON REASONABLE
TERMS AND AS NEEDED.
To supplement the business experience of our officers and directors, we may be
required to employ accountants, technical experts, appraisers, attorneys, or
other consultants or advisors. Our Board without any input from stockholders
will make the selection of any such advisors. Furthermore, it is anticipated
that such persons may be engaged on an "as needed" basis without a continuing
fiduciary or other obligation to us. In the event we consider it necessary to
hire outside advisors, we may elect to hire persons who are affiliates, if they
are able to provide the required services.
THE REGULATION OF PENNY STOCKS BY SEC AND FINRA MAY HAVE AN EFFECT ON THE
TRADABILITY OF OUR SECURITIES.
Our securities are currently listed on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board and
the OTC Market's OTCQB. Our shares are subject to a Securities and Exchange
Commission rule that imposes special sales practice requirements upon
broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established
customers or accredited investors. For purposes of the rule, the phrase
"accredited investors" means, in general terms, institutions with assets in
8
excess of $5,000,000, or individuals having a net worth in excess of $1,000,000
or having an annual income that exceeds $200,000 (or that, when combined with a
spouse's income, exceeds $300,000). For transactions covered by the rule, the
broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser
and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction prior to the
sale. Consequently, the rule may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell
our securities and also may affect the ability of purchasers in this offering to
sell their securities in any market that might develop therefore.
In addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted a number of
rules to regulate "penny stocks." Such rules include Rules 3a51-1, 15g-1, 15g-2,
15g-3, 15g-4, 15g-5, 15g-6, 15g-7, and 15g-9 under the Securities and Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended. Because our securities constitute "penny stocks" within
the meaning of the rules, the rules would apply to us and to our securities. The
rules may further affect the ability of owners of Shares to sell our securities
in any market that might develop for them.
Shareholders should be aware that, according to Securities and Exchange
Commission, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from
patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (i) control of the market for
the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the
promoter or issuer; (ii) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of
purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (iii) "boiler room"
practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price
projections by inexperienced sales persons; (iv) excessive and undisclosed
bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (v) the
wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after
prices have been manipulated to a desired consequent investor losses. Our
management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny
stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the
behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market,
management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent
the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities.
OUR STOCK IS THINLY TRADED AND AS A RESULT YOU MAY BE UNABLE TO SELL AT OR NEAR
ASK PRICES OR AT ALL IF YOU NEED TO LIQUIDATE YOUR SHARES.
The shares of our common stock are thinly-traded on the OTC Bulletin Board and
the OTC Markets" OTCQB, meaning that the number of persons interested in
purchasing our shares of common stock at or near ask prices at any given time
may be relatively small or non-existent. This situation is attributable to a
number of factors, including the fact that we are a small company which is
relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors and
others in the investment community that generate or influence sales volume, and
that even if we came to the attention of such persons, they tend to be
risk-averse and would be reluctant to follow an unproven, early stage company
such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase of our shares of common stock
until such time as we became more seasoned and viable. As a consequence, there
may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our shares of
common stock is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer which
has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support
continuous sales without an adverse effect on Securities price. We cannot give
you any assurance that a broader or more active public trading market for our
shares of Common Stock will develop or be sustained, or that any trading levels
will be sustained. Due to these conditions, we can give investors no assurance
that they will be able to sell their shares of common stock at or near ask
prices or at all if you need money or otherwise desire to liquidate your shares
of common stock of our Company.
THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK COULD BE HIGHLY VOLATILE
It is likely that our common stock will be subject to price volatility, low
volumes of trades and large spreads in bid and ask prices quoted by market
makers. Due to the low volume of shares traded on any trading day, persons
buying or selling in relatively small quantities may easily influence prices of
our common stock. This low volume of trades could also cause the price of our
stock to fluctuate greatly, with large percentage changes in price occurring in
any trading day session. Holders of our common stock may also not be able to
readily liquidate their investment or may be forced to sell at depressed prices
due to low volume trading. If high spreads between the bid and ask prices of our
common stock exist at the time of a purchase, the stock would have to appreciate
substantially on a relative percentage basis for an investor to recoup their
investment. Broad market fluctuations and general economic and political
conditions may also adversely affect the market price of our common stock. No
assurance can be given that an active market in our common stock will develop or
be sustained. If an active market does not develop, holders of our common stock
may be unable to readily sell the shares they hold or may not be able to sell
their shares at all.

REDUCTION OF PERCENTAGE SHARE OWNERSHIP FOLLOWING BUSINESS COMBINATION AND
DILUTION TO STOCKHOLDERS
Our primary plan of operation is based upon a business combination with a
private concern which, in all likelihood, would result in us issuing securities
to stockholders of such private company. The issuance of previously authorized
and unissued shares of our common stock would result in reduction in percentage
of shares owned by present and prospective stockholders and may result in a
change in control or management. In addition, any merger or acquisition can be
expected to have a significant dilutive effect on the percentage of the shares
held our stockholders.
LOSS OF CONTROL BY OUR PRESENT MANAGEMENT AND STOCKHOLDERS MAY OCCUR UPON
ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL SHARES.
We may issue further Shares as consideration for the cash or assets or services
out of our authorized but unissued Common Stock that would, upon issuance,
represent a majority of our voting power and equity. The result of such an
issuance would be those new stockholders and management would control us, and
persons unknown could replace our management at this time. Such an occurrence
would result in a greatly reduced percentage of ownership of us by our current
Shareholders.
OUR SECURITIES ARE NOT CURRENTLY ELIGIBLE FOR SALE UNDER RULE 144 AND ANY FUTURE
SALES OF OUR SECURITIES MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY OUR FAILURE TO FILE ALL
REPORTS REQUIRED BY THE EXCHANGE ACT.
All of the outstanding shares of common stock held by the Company's present
officers, directors, and affiliate stockholders are "restricted securities"
within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. As
restricted Shares, these shares may be resold only pursuant to an effective
registration statement or under the requirements of Rule 144 or other applicable
exemptions from registration under the Act and as required under applicable
state securities laws.
Rule 144, as promulgated under the Securities Act is not available for the
resale of securities, initially issued by a shell company (reporting or
non-reporting) or a former shell company, unless certain conditions are
satisfied. We are a shell company. As a result, our securities cannot be resold
under Rule 144 unless certain conditions are met. These conditions are:
o the issuer of the securities has ceased to be a shell company;
o the issuer is subject to the reporting requirements of section 13 or
15(d) of the Exchange Act;
o the issuer has filed all reports and other materials required to be
filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable,
during the preceding 12 months, other than Form 8-K reports; and
o one year has elapsed since the issuer has filed current "Form 10
information" with the Commission reflecting its status as an entity
that is no longer a shell company.
The only way for our securities to be eligible for resale prior to the
conditions of Rule 144 being met, is for us to have registered them with the SEC
on a Registration Statement on Form S-1 and such registration being declared
effective by the SEC. At the time of this filing, management has no plans to
file a registration statement with the SEC.
A sale under Rule 144 or under any other exemption from the Act, if available,
or pursuant to subsequent registration of shares of common stock of present
stockholders, may have a depressive effect upon the price of the common stock in
any market that may develop.
WE DO NOT ANTICIPATE PAYING CASH DIVIDENDS ON OUR COMMON STOCK
We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the
foreseeable future.

Penny Stock.
Penny Stock Regulation Broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions
in "penny stocks" are regulated by certain penny stock rules adopted by the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Penny stocks generally are equity securities
with a price of less than $5.00. Excluded from the penny stock designation are
securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on
NASDAQ, provided that current price and volume information with respect to
transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange/system or sold to
established customers or accredited investors.
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 that provides information about penny stocks and the 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 connection with the transaction, and the
monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in
the customer's account. In addition, the penny stock rules generally require
that prior to a transaction in a penny stock, 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 a stock that becomes subject to the
penny stock rules. As our securities have become subject to the penny stock
rules, investors may find it more difficult to sell their securities.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
We sold no shares of common stock during the years ended December 31, 2013 and
2012.

OVERVIEW
Summary
Golden Dragon Holding Co. ("the Company," "we" or "us") is a publicly quoted
shell company seeking to obtain debt and, or, equity finance to meet our ongoing
operating expenses and attempt to merge with another entity with experienced
management and opportunities for growth in return for shares of our common stock
to create value for our shareholders.
We are a development stage enterprise in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 7, "Accounting and Reporting by Development
Stage Enterprises" now referred to as ACS 915 "Development Stage Entities." We
have been in the development stage since Inception (January 1, 2011).
Reorganization into a Holding Company Structure
Effective December 31, 2010, pursuant to the Delaware Holding Company formation
statute, DGCL Section 251(g), CCVG completed an Agreement and Plan of Merger and
Reorganization into a Holding Company ("the Reorganization") with CCAPS and
Golden Dragon, both wholly-owned subsidiaries of CCVG. The Reorganization
provided for the merger of CCVG with and into CCAPS, with CCAPS being the
surviving corporation in that merger. Contemporaneously with CCVG's merger with
and into CCAPS, the shareholders of CCVG were converted into shareholders of
Golden Dragon on a one share for one share basis.
As a result of this reorganization into a Holding Company structure, Golden
Dragon became the surviving publicly quoted parent holding company with CCAPS,
the surviving corporation of the merger between CCVG and CCAPS, becoming the
sole remaining wholly-owned subsidiary of Golden Dragon.
The Reorganization has been accounted for so as to reflect the fact that both
CCVG and Golden Dragon were under common control at the date of the
Reorganization, similar to a reverse acquisition of CCVG and its subsidiary
company, CCAPS, by Golden Dragon.
Sale of CCAPS
On December 31, 2010, Golden Dragon entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with
James Clark. Under the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement, Golden Dragon sold
100% of the issued and outstanding shares of its sole remaining wholly owned
subsidiary, CCAPS, to James Clark for $100 cash consideration, subject to its
debts, and issued 25,000 shares of Golden Dragon common stock, valued at $1,000,
to CCAPS pursuant to the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement. At the time of
the sale, CCAPS had no ongoing operations or assets and outstanding liabilities
of approximately $678,000.
Following the merger of CCVG with and into CCAPS, CCAPS, as the surviving
corporation in that merger, retained all outstanding liabilities of CCVG in the
divestiture.
As a result of the sale of 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of CCAPS,
Golden Dragon, the surviving publicly quoted holding company will no longer
consolidate the liabilities of CCAPS or CCVG.
PLAN OF OPERATIONS
Our plan of operations is to raise debt and, or, equity to meet our ongoing
operating expenses and attempt to merge with another entity with experienced
management and opportunities for growth in return for shares of our common stock
to create value for our shareholders. There can be no assurance that we will
successfully complete these transactions. In particular there is no assurance
that any such business will be located or that any stockholder will realize any
return on their shares after such a transaction. Any merger or acquisition
completed by us can be expected to have a significant dilutive effect on the
percentage of shares held by our current stockholders. We believe we are an
insignificant participant among the firms which engage in the acquisition of
business opportunities. There are many established venture capital and financial
concerns that have significantly greater financial and personnel resources and
technical expertise than we have. In view of our limited financial resources and
limited management availability, we will continue to be at a significant
competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors.
13
We intend to seek, investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire an
interest in business opportunities presented to us by persons or firms which
desire to seek the advantages of an issuer who has complied with the Securities
Act of 1934 (the "1934 Act"). We will not restrict our search to any specific
business, industry or geographical location, and we may participate in business
ventures of virtually any nature. This discussion of our proposed business is
purposefully general and is not meant to be restrictive of our virtually
unlimited discretion to search for and enter into potential business
opportunities. We anticipate that we may be able to participate in only one
potential business venture because of our lack of financial resources.
We may seek a business opportunity with entities which have recently commenced
operations, or that desire to utilize the public marketplace in order to raise
additional capital in order to expand into new products or markets, to develop a
new product or service, or for other corporate purposes. We may acquire assets
and establish wholly owned subsidiaries in various businesses or acquire
existing businesses as subsidiaries. Though no such opportunities have been
identified at the time of this filing.
We expect that the selection of a business opportunity will be complex and
risky. Due to general economic conditions, rapid technological advances being
made in some industries and shortages of available capital, we believe that
there are numerous firms seeking the benefits of an issuer who has complied with
the 1934 Act. Such benefits may include facilitating or improving the terms on
which additional equity financing may be sought, providing liquidity for
incentive stock options or similar benefits to key employees, providing
liquidity (subject to restrictions of applicable statutes) for all stockholders
and other factors. Potentially, available business opportunities may occur in
many different industries and at various stages of development, all of which
will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such business
opportunities extremely difficult and complex. We have, and will continue to
have, essentially no assets to provide the owners of business opportunities.
However, we will be able to offer owners of acquisition candidates the
opportunity to acquire a controlling ownership interest in an issuer who has
complied with the 1934 Act without incurring the cost and time required to
conduct an initial public offering.
The analysis of new business opportunities will be undertaken by, or under the
supervision of, our Board of Directors. We intend to concentrate on identifying
preliminary prospective business opportunities which may be brought to our
attention through present associations of our director, professional advisors or
by our stockholders. In analyzing prospective business opportunities, we will
consider such matters as (i) available technical, financial and managerial
resources; (ii) working capital and other financial requirements; (iii) history
of operations, if any, and prospects for the future; (iv) nature of present and
expected competition; (v) quality, experience and depth of management services;
(vi) potential for further research, development or exploration; (vii) specific
risk factors not now foreseeable but that may be anticipated to impact the
proposed activities of the company; (viii) potential for growth or expansion;
(ix) potential for profit; (x) public recognition and acceptance of products,
services or trades; (xi) name identification; and (xii) other factors that we
consider relevant. As part of our investigation of the business opportunity, we
expect to meet personally with management and key personnel. To the extent
possible, we intend to utilize written reports and personal investigation to
evaluate the above factors.
We will not acquire or merge with any company for which audited financial
statements cannot be obtained within a reasonable period of time after closing
of the proposed transaction.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As at December 31, 2013, we had no assets, no operating business or other source
of income, outstanding liabilities of $292,034 and a stockholders' deficit of
$292,034.
In our financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and
2012, the Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm includes
an explanatory paragraph that describes substantial doubt about our ability to
continue as a going concern. Our financial statements for the fiscal years ended
December 31, 2013 and 2012 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. We had a working capital deficit
of $292,034 and reported an accumulated deficit of $17,166,915 as at December
31, 2013.
It is our current intention to seek raise debt and, or, equity financing to fund
ongoing operating expenses and attempt to merge with another entity with
experienced management and opportunities for growth in return for shares of our
common stock to create value for our shareholders. There is no assurance that
these events will be satisfactorily completed.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013 COMPARED TO THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER
31, 2012
Revenue
During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, we did not recognize any
revenues from its activities. We do not anticipate recognizing revenues in the
near future, given that our operational activities are purely administrative in
nature.
General and Administrative Expenses
During the year ended December 31, 2013, we incurred $80,311 in general and
administrative expenses, compared to $89,568 we incurred in general and
administrative expenses in the year ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of
$9,257. General and administrative expenses consist mainly of legal and
accounting expenses incurred in maintaining our public reporting status and the
decrease from 2012 to 2013 related primarily to a decrease in legal fees
incurred between the two periods.
Operating Income (Loss)
In the year ended December 31, 2013, we recognized operating loss of $80,311
compared to an operating expense of $89,568 in the year ended December 31, 2012,
a variance of $9,257 due to the factors as discussed above.
Interest and Other Income / (Expenses) Net
In the year ended December 31, 2013, we incurred net interest expense of $14,095
in interest and other income / (expenses) net compared to $8,499 in the year
ended December 31, 2012, a increase of $5,596. The interest expense represented
accrued interest at 8% on the loan made to us by Mr. Cutler, an officer and
director, in respect of expenses incurred settling certain of our outstanding
liabilities and bringing our books and records up to date which he paid directly
on our behalf. The increase in interest expense in the year ended December 31,
2013 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2012 reflected the increase in
the principal balance of the loan provided to us by Mr. Cutler between the two
periods.
(Loss) Profit before Income Tax
In the year ended December 31, 2013, we recognized a loss before income taxes of
$94,406 compared to loss before taxes of $98,067 in the year ended December 31,
2012, a decrease of $3,661, due to the factors discussed above.
Provision for Income Taxes
No provision for income taxes was recorded in either the year ended December 31,
2013 or 2012 as we incurred taxable losses in both periods.
Net (Loss) Income
In the year ended December 31, 2013, we realized a net loss of $94,406 compared
to a net loss of $98,067 in the year ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of
$3,661, due to the factors set out above.
CASH FLOW INFORMATION FOR THE FISCAL YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND 2012
As at December 31, 2013, we had no assets, no operating business or other source
of income, outstanding liabilities of $292,034 and a stockholders' deficit of
$292,034.
15
In our financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and
2012, the Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm includes
an explanatory paragraph that describes substantial doubt about our ability to
continue as a going concern. Our financial statements for the fiscal years ended
December 31, 2013 and 2012 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. We had a working capital deficit
of $292,034 and reported an accumulated deficit of $17,166,915 as at December
31, 2013.
It is our current intention to seek raise debt and, or, equity financing to fund
ongoing operating expenses and attempt to merge with another entity with
experienced management and opportunities for growth in return for shares of our
common stock to create value for our shareholders. There is no assurance that
these events will be satisfactorily completed.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, we used cash of $11,017 in our
operating activities compared to $10,913 cash we used in operating activities
during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of $104. During the
twelve months ended December 31, 2013 we incurred net losses of $94,406 which,
after adjustment for $60,000 in non cash compensatory loan increases, were
partially offset by a positive movement in operating liabilities of $23,389.
During the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 we incurred net losses of
$98,067 which, after adjustment for $60,000 in non cash compensatory loan
increases, were partially offset by a positive movement in operating liabilities
of $27,154
No cash was provided by, or used in, investing activities during the fiscal
years ended December 31, 2013 or 2012
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, we received $10,992 from
financing activities, compared to $10,913 in the year ended December 31, 2012,
an increase of $79. This increase represented the increased level of funding
required to be provided to us by Mr. Cutler, our sole officer and a director.
Critical Accounting Policies
All companies are required to include a discussion of critical accounting
policies and estimates used in the preparation of their financial statements. On
an on-going basis, we evaluate our critical accounting policies and estimates.
We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions
that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which
form our basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and
liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may
differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the financial
statements on page 31 below. These policies were selected because they represent
the more significant accounting policies and methods that are broadly applied in
the preparation of our financial statements. However, it should be noted that we
intend to acquire a new operating business. The critical accounting policies and
estimates for such new operations will, in all likelihood, be significantly
different from our current policies and estimates.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements, Contractual Obligations and Commercial
Commitments
All companies are required to include a discussion to address, among other
things, liquidity, off-balance sheet arrangements, contractual obligations and
commercial commitments. Details of the arrangements, contractual obligations and
commercial commitments are described in Note. 7 to the financial statements on
page 33 below.
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
We have reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting
pronouncements and do not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements
may be expected to cause a material impact on our financial condition or the
results of our operations.
EFFECTS OF INFLATION
Although we cannot accurately anticipate the effect of inflation on our
operations, we do not believe that inflation has had, or is likely in the future
to have, a material effect on our results or financial condition.

ITEM 7A. QUANTATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As a "smaller reporting company" as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, we are
not required to provide information required by this Item.
ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Our financial statements are included herein commencing on page 24.
ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
On November 30, 2013, we informed by Ronald Chadwick, P.C. ("Ronald Chadwick")
that it was terminating its services as our independent registered public
accounting firm.
Ronald Chadwick was the independent registered public accounting firm for the
Registrant from January 1, 2011 until November 30, 2013. Ronald Chadwick's
reports on the Registrant's financial statements for the twelve month periods
ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the period from Inception (January 1, 2011)
to December 31, 2012did not (a) contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of
opinion, or (b) was modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting
principles, or (c) contained any disagreements on any matters of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or
procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Ronald
Chadwick, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the
disagreements in connection with its reports for the twelve month periods ended
December 31, 2012 and 2011, the period from Inception (January 1, 2011) to
December 31, 2012 and the subsequent interim periods preceding November 30,
2013. None of the reportable events set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of
Regulation S-K occurred during the twelve month periods ended December 31, 2012
and 2011, the period from Inception (January 1, 2011) to December 31, 2012 and
the subsequent interim periods preceding November 30, 2013 in which Ronald
Chadwick served as the Registrant's principal independent accountants.
However, the report of Ronald Chadwick dated March 19, 2013 on our financial
statements for the twelve month periods ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, and
for the period from Inception (January 1, 2011) to December 31, 2012 contained
an explanatory paragraph which noted that there was substantial doubt as to our
ability to continue as a going concern.
On January 20, 2014, we retained KLJ & Associates, LLP ("KLJ") as our
independent registered public accounting firm.
We have had no disagreements with either Chadwick or KLJ with respect to any
accounting or financial disclosure issues.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Securities Exchange Act Rule 15d-15(e)) that are designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act, is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods required
under the SEC's rules and forms and that the information is gathered and
communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (Principal
Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer), as
appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As required by SEC Rule 15d-15(b), our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, Mr. Cutler, carried out an evaluation under the supervision
and with the participation of our management, of the effectiveness of the design
and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act
Rule 15d-14 as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the
foregoing evaluation, Mr. Cutler has concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures are effective in timely alerting management to material information
17
required to be included in our periodic SEC filings and to ensure that
information required to be disclosed in our periodic SEC filings is accumulated
and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
MANAGEMENT'S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Our management, consisting of Mr. Cutler, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate
internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial
reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f), is a process
designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal
financial officers and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other
personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of
financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external
purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, based on
criteria established in Internal Control--Integrated Framework issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and includes
those policies and procedures that:
- Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our
assets;
- Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as
necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our
receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with
authorizations of our management and directors; and
- Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection
of unauthorized acquisition, use of disposition of our assets that
could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting
may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems,
no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those
systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with
respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2013. Based on this assessment, management believes
that as of December 31, 2013, our internal control over financial reporting is
effective based on those criteria.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the company's
registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial
reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the company's
registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC to
provide only management's report in this annual report.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
There were no changes during our last fiscal quarter that materially affected,
or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST - GENERAL
Our directors and officers are, or may become, in their individual capacities,
officers, directors, controlling shareholder and/or partners of other entities
engaged in a variety of businesses. Thus, there exist potential conflicts of
interest including, among other things, time, efforts and corporation
opportunity, involved in participation with such other business entities. While
each officer and director of our business is engaged in business activities
outside of our business, they devote to our business such time as they believe
to be necessary.
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST - CORPORATE OPPORTUNITIES
Presently no requirement contained in our Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, or
minutes which requires officers and directors of our business to disclose to us
business opportunities which come to their attention. Our officers and directors
do, however, have a fiduciary duty of loyalty to us to disclose to us any
business opportunities which come to their attention, in their capacity as an
officer and/or director or otherwise. Excluded from this duty would be
opportunities which the person learns about through his involvement as an
officer and director of another company. We have no intention of merging with or
acquiring an affiliate, associate person or business opportunity from any
affiliate or any client of any such person.
COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
In the ordinary course of business, the board of directors maintains a
compensation committee and an audit committee. We do not have a compensation
committee or audit committee.
The primary function of the compensation committee is to review and make
recommendations to the board of directors with respect to the compensation,
including bonuses, of our officers and to administer the grants under our stock
option plan.
19
The functions of the audit committee are to review the scope of the audit
procedures employed by our independent auditors, to review with the independent
auditors our accounting practices and policies and recommend to whom reports
should be submitted, to review with the independent auditors their final audit
reports, to review with our internal and independent auditors our overall
accounting and financial controls, to be available to the independent auditors
during the year for consultation, to approve the audit fee charged by the
independent auditors, to report to the board of directors with respect to such
matters and to recommend the selection of the independent auditors.
In the absence of a separate audit committee our board of directors functions as
audit committee and performs some of the same functions of an audit committee,
such as recommending a firm of independent certified public accountants to audit
the annual financial statements; reviewing the independent auditors
independence, the financial statements and their audit report; and reviewing
management's administration of the system of internal accounting controls.
SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act requires our Officers and
Directors, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity
securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC.
Officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required by SEC
regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based
solely on our review of copies of such reports received, and representations
from certain reporting persons, we believe that, during the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2012, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our
officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners were filed in
compliance with all applicable requirements.
CODE OF ETHICS
A code of ethics relates to written standards that are reasonably designed to
deter wrongdoing and to promote;
- Honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual
or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional
relationships;
- Full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports
and documents that are filed with, or submitted to, the SEC and in
other public communications made by an issuer;
- Compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;
- The prompt internal reporting of violations of the code to an
appropriate person or persons identified in the code; and
- Accountability for adherence to the code.
Due to the limited scope of our current operations, we have not adopted a
corporate code of ethics that applies to our principal executive officer,
principal accounting officer, or persons performing similar functions.

It is the role of the Audit Committee, or in the absence of an audit committee,
the Board of Directors, to consider whether, and determine that, the auditor's
provision of non-audit services would be compatible with maintaining the
auditor's independence.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders Golden Dragon Holding Co.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Golden Dragon Holding Co. (a
development stage company) (the "Company") as of December 31, 2013 and the
related statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the
year then ended. Golden Dragon Holding Co.'s management is responsible for these
financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits. The financial statements of Golden
Dragon Holding Co. for the cumulative period from January 1, 2011 through
December 31, 2012 were audited by other auditors whose report dated March 19,
2013, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. Our opinion, in so
far as it relates to the period from January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2012,
is based solely on the report of other auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. The company 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, 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 provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based upon our audit and the report of the other independent
auditors, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Golden Dragon Holding Co. as of
December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 and for the cumulative period
January 1, 2011(Inception) to December 31, 2013 in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the
financial statements, The Company is in the development stage, has not earned
significant revenue, has suffered net losses and has had negative cash flows
from operating activities during the years ended December 31, 2013 and for the
cumulative period January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2013. These matters raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Management's plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 2. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and
classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of
liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a
going concern.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors
Golden Dragon Holding Co.
Denver, Colorado
I have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Golden Dragon Holding Co. (a
development stage company) as of December 31, 2012, and the related statements
of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year then
ended, and for the period from January 1, 2011 (inception of the development
stage) through December 31, 2012. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. My responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on my audit.
I conducted my audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that I plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. I believe that my audit provides a reasonable
basis for my opinion.
In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Golden Dragon Holding Co. as of
December 31, 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
year then ended, and for the period from January 1, 2011 (inception of the
development stage) through December 31, 2012 in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the
financial statements, the Company has suffered a loss from operations and has a
working capital deficit and stockholders' deficit. These conditions raise
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's
plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.

A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2013
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations - Golden Dragon Holding Co. ("the Company," "we" or "us")
is a publicly quoted shell company seeking to obtain debt and, or, equity
finance to meet our ongoing operating expenses and attempt to merge with another
entity with experienced management and opportunities for growth in return for
shares of our common stock to create value for our shareholders.
In April 2010, Concord Ventures, Inc. ("Concord"), a Colorado corporation,
incorporated three new subsidiary companies, CCVG, Inc. ("CCVG"), CCAPS Co.
("CCAPS") and Golden Dragon Holding Co. ("Golden Dragon"). All three of the new
subsidiary companies were domiciled in Delaware.
Development Stage Company - We are a development stage enterprise in accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 7, "Accounting and
Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises" now referred to as ACS 915
"Development Stage Entities." We have been in the development stage since
Inception (January 1, 2011). Among the disclosures required as a development
stage company are that our financial statements are identified as those of a
development stage company, and that the statements of operations, stockholders'
deficit and cash flows disclose activity since the date of our Inception
(January 1, 2011) as a development stage company.
Re-domicile in Delaware
In order for Concord to re-domicile in Delaware from Colorado, on September 29,
2010, Concord entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger ("the Merger
Agreement") with its wholly owned subsidiary, CCVG. Under the terms of the
Merger Agreement, Concord shares of common stock converted automatically to CCVG
shares, without change or necessity to reissue. Also under the Merger Agreement,
CCVG became the surviving company domiciled in Delaware
Reorganization into a Holding Company Structure
Effective December 31, 2010, under an Agreement and Plan of Merger and
Reorganization into a Holding Company ("the Reorganization") filed with the
Secretary of State of Delaware:
- Golden Dragon acquired 100% of the issued share capital of CCVG in a
share for share exchange of Golden Dragon shares for CCVG shares with
CCVG's existing shareholders, and
- CCVG merged with CCAPS, one of CCVG's former subsidiary companies.
As a result of this reorganization into a Holding Company structure, Golden
Dragon became the surviving publicly quoted parent holding company with CCAPS,
the surviving corporation of the merger between CCVG and CCAPS, becoming the
sole remaining wholly-owned subsidiary of Golden Dragon.
The Reorganization has been accounted for so as to reflect the fact that both
CCVG and Golden Dragon were under common control at the date of the
Reorganization, similar to a reverse acquisition of CCVG and its subsidiary
company, CCAPS, by Golden Dragon.
Sale of CCAPS
On December 31, 2010, Golden Dragon entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with
James Clark. Under the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement, Golden Dragon sold
100% of the issued and outstanding shares of its sole remaining wholly owned
subsidiary, CCAPS, to James Clark for $100 cash consideration, subject to its
debts, and issued 25,000 shares of Golden Dragon Common Stock, valued at $1,000,
to CCAPS pursuant to the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement. At the time of
the sale, CCAPS had no ongoing operations or assets and outstanding liabilities
of approximately $678,000.
30
Following the merger of CCVG with and into CCAPS, CCAPS, as the surviving
corporation in that merger, retained all outstanding liabilities of CCVG in the
divestiture.
As a result of the sale of 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of CCAPS,
Golden Dragon, the surviving publicly quoted holding company will no longer
consolidate the liabilities of CCAPS or CCVG.
Cash and Cash Equivalents -- Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and
highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of less than three
months.
Property and Equipment- We sold all of our fixed assets effective February 16,
2001 for the benefit of our creditors as part of our Chapter 11 reorganization.
Accordingly, we had no property and equipment as of December 31, 2013 and 2012
and we recorded no depreciation expense in the years ended December 31, 2013 and
2012.
Deferred Costs and Other -- Offering costs with respect to issue of common
stock, warrants or options by us were initially deferred and ultimately offset
against the proceeds from these equity transactions if successful or expensed if
the proposed equity transaction is unsuccessful. We had no deferred costs and
other as at December 31, 2013 and 2012.
Impairment of Long-Lived and Intangible Assets -- In the event that facts and
circumstances indicated that the cost of long-lived and intangible assets may be
impaired, an evaluation of recoverability was performed. If an evaluation was
required, the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset
were compared to the asset's carrying amount to determine if a write-down to
market value or discounted cash flow value was required.
Financial Instruments -- The estimated fair values for financial instruments was
determined at discrete points in time based on relevant market information.
These estimates involved uncertainties and could not be determined with
precision. The carrying amounts of notes receivable, accounts receivable,
accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximated fair value because of the
short-term maturities of these instruments. The fair value of notes payable
approximated to their carrying value as generally their interest rates reflected
our effective annual borrowing rate.
Income Taxes -- We account for income taxes under the liability method, which
requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected
future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial
statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and
liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial
statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in
effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.
Advertising cost -- Advertising costs were expensed as incurred. No advertising
costs were incurred in the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.
Comprehensive Income (Loss) -- Comprehensive income is defined as all changes in
stockholders' equity (deficit), exclusive of transactions with owners, such as
capital investments. Comprehensive income includes net income or loss, changes
in certain assets and liabilities that are reported directly in equity such as
translation adjustments on investments in foreign subsidiaries and unrealized
gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities. From our inception there were
no differences between our comprehensive loss and net loss.
Our comprehensive income / (loss) for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012
was identical to our net income / (loss) for the years ended December 31, 2013
and 2012.
Income (Loss) Per Share --. Income (loss) per share is presented in accordance
with Accounting Standards Update ("ASU"), Earning Per Share (Topic 260) which
requires the presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS")
on the consolidated income statements. Basic EPS would exclude any dilutive
effects of options, warrants and convertible securities but does include the
restricted shares of common stock issued. Diluted EPS would reflect the
potential dilution that would occur if securities of other contracts to issue
common stock were exercised or converted to common stock. Basic EPS calculations
are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares
of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS calculations are
determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common
shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. Basic and diluted EPS
were identical for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 as we had no
warrants or stock options outstanding during these years.

Stock-Based Compensation - We have adopted ASC Topic 718 (formerly SFAS 123R),
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," which establishes a fair value method
of accounting for stock-based compensation plans. In accordance with guidance
now incorporated in ASC Topic 718, the cost of stock options and warrants issued
to employees and non-employees is measured on the grant date based on the fair
value. The fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing
model. The resulting amount is charged to expense on the straight-line basis
over the period in which we expect to receive the benefit, which is generally
the vesting period. The fair value of stock warrants was determined at the date
of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes option
model requires management to make various estimates and assumptions, including
expected term, expected volatility, risk-free rate, and dividend yield.
Use of Estimates -- The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these
financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from
those estimates. Due to uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, it is
possible that these estimates could be materially revised within the next year.
Business Segments -- We consider our ongoing activities to constitute a single
segment.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements-- We have reviewed all recently
issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and do not believe the
future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material
impact on our financial condition or the results of our operations.
2. GOING CONCERN AND LIQUIDITY
As at December 31, 2013, we had no assets, no operating business or other source
of income, outstanding liabilities of $292,034 and a stockholders' deficit of
$292,034.
In our financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and
2012, the Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm includes
an explanatory paragraph that describes substantial doubt about our ability to
continue as a going concern. Our financial statements for the fiscal years ended
December 31, 2013 and 2012 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. We had a working capital deficit
of $292,034 and reported an accumulated deficit of $17,166,915 as at December
31, 2013.
It is our current intention to seek raise debt and, or, equity financing to fund
ongoing operating expenses and attempt to merge with another entity with
experienced management and opportunities for growth in return for shares of our
common stock to create value for our shareholders. There is no assurance that
these events will be satisfactorily completed.
3. ASSETS
As at December 31, 2013, we had no assets (2012- $25).
4. ACCOUNTS PAYABLE
Effective December 31, 2013, the outstanding balance of accounts payable
represents our balances due in respect of professional fees to our attorney and
auditors.
5. ACCRUED EXPENSES - RELATED PARTY
As at December 31, 2013, we had accrued interest of $25,294 (2012 - $11,199)
payable to Mr. Cutler, an officer, director and shareholder of ours.
32
6. RELATED PARTY LOANS
As at December 31, 2013, we had an outstanding loan with Mr. Cutler, an officer,
director and shareholder of ours, of $213,934 (2011- $142,943).
The loan is repayable on demand and carries interest at 8%.
7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
We were not subject to any contractual obligations and commercial commitments as
at December 31, 2013 (2012 - $0).
No legal proceedings are currently pending or threatened to the best of our
knowledge.
8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
As at December 31, 2013, we had an outstanding loan with Mr. Cutler, our
principal shareholder, director and sole officer, of $213,934 (2012- $142,943)
and accrued interest outstanding of $25,294 (2012 - $11,199).
9. STOCKHOLDERS' (DEFICIT)
Preferred Stock
We were authorized, without further action by the shareholders, to issue
10,000,000 shares of one or more series of preferred stock at a par value of
$0.0001, all of which is nonvoting. The Board of Directors may, without
shareholder approval, determine the dividend rates, redemption prices,
preferences on liquidation or dissolution, conversion rights, voting rights and
any other preferences.
No shares of preferred stock were issued or outstanding during the financial
years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.
Common Stock
We were authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value
$0.0001 per share.
No shares of common stock were issued during the twelve months ending December
31, 2013 or 2012.
Warrants
No warrants were issued or outstanding during the years ended December 31, 2013
and 2012.
Stock Options
Effective March 19, 1999, we adopted a stock option plan (the "Plan"). The Plan
provides for grants of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options and
restricted stock to designated employees, officers, directors, advisors and
independent contractors. The Plan authorized the issuance of up to 75,000 shares
of Common Stock. Under the Plan, the exercise price per share of a non-qualified
stock option must be equal to at least 50% of the fair market value of the
common stock at the grant date, and the exercise price per share of an incentive
stock option must equal the fair market value of the common stock at the grant
date.
No stock options were issued or outstanding during the years ended December 31,
2013 and 2012.
10. INCOME TAXES
We did not provide any current or deferred US federal income tax provision or
benefit for any of the periods presented in these financial statements because
we have experienced losses since Inception (January 1, 2011). When it is more
likely than not, that a tax asset cannot be realized through future income, the
Company must record an allowance against any future potential future tax
33
benefit. We provided a full valuation allowance against the net deferred tax
asset, consisting of net operating loss carry forwards, because management has
determined that it is more likely than not that we will not earn income
sufficient to realize the deferred tax assets during the carry forward periods.
The Company has not taken a tax position that, if challenged, would have a
material effect on the financial statements for the years ended December 31,
2013 and 2012 as defined under ASC 740, "Accounting for Income Taxes." We did
not recognize any adjustment to the liability for uncertain ta position and
therefore did not record any adjustment to the beginning balance of the
accumulated deficit on the balance sheet.
The provision for income taxes differs from the amount computed by applying the
statutory federal income tax rate to income before provision for income taxes.
The sources and tax effects of the differences for the periods presented are as
follows:
2013 2012
Income tax provision at the federal statutory rate 39% 39%
Effect of operating losses (39%) (39%)
- % -%
======== =========
Changes in the net deferred tax assets consist of the following:
2013 2012
Net operating loss carry forward $ 94,406 $ 98,067
Valuation allowance (94,406) (98,067)
Net deferred tax asset $ - $ -
============== ==============
A reconciliation of income taxes computed at the statutory rate is as follows:
2013 2012
Tax at statutory rate (39%) $ 38,246 $ 36,818
Increase in valuation allowance (38,246) (36,818)
Net deferred tax asset $ - $ -
=============== =============
The net federal operating loss carryforward will expire between 2031 and 2033.
This carry forward may be limited upon the consummation of a business
combination under IRC Section 381.
11. SEGMENT INFORMATION
We consider our ongoing business activities to constitute a single segment.
12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On January 20, 2014, we retained KLJ & Associates, LLP as our independent
registered public accounting firm.
We have evaluated subsequent events through January 29, 2014. There have been no
subsequent events after December 31, 2013, other than as disclosed above, for
which disclosure is required.
