Organizational
History
Adamant
DRI Processing and Minerals Group, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”, referred to herein as “we,” “us,”
“our,” and words of similar import), is the successor by domicile merger effected on August 29, 2014, to UHF Incorporated,
a Delaware corporation (“UHF”), which was the successor by domicile merger effected on December 29, 2011 to UHF Incorporated,
a Michigan corporation (“UHF-Michigan”). UHF–Michigan was incorporated on March 13, 1964.
We
engaged in various business since our incorporation. We were not successful in any of the businesses we entered and discontinued all
of our remaining operations effective March 31, 2019, at which time we became a non-operating shell company with nominal assets. We also
are considered a “blank check company” subject to Rule 419. In August 2019 we elected to terminate our obligation to file
reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and to that end filed a Form 15 with the
Securities Exchange Commission. In August 2021 we filed a Registration Statement on Form 10 and became subject to the reporting requirements
of the Exchange Act.
We
intend to seek, investigate and, if such investigation warrants, engage in a business combination which may take the form of a “reverse
merger” with a private entity whose business presents an opportunity for our stockholders. Our objectives discussed below are extremely
general and are not intended to restrict our discretion. This discussion of the proposed business is not meant to be restrictive of our
virtually unlimited discretion to search for and enter into potential business opportunities.
We
have not yet entered into any definitive agreement, nor do we have any binding commitment or understanding to enter or become engaged
in a transaction.
We
are not restricting our search for business combination candidates to any particular industry and will not restrict our potential candidate
target companies to any specific business, industry or geographical location and, thus, may acquire any type of business. Further, we
may acquire a venture which is in its preliminary or development stage, one which is already in operation, or in a more mature stage
of its corporate existence. Accordingly, business opportunities may be available 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 difficult and complex.
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 entity. We also may acquire stock or assets of an existing business. On the consummation
of a transaction it is probable that the present management and stockholders of our company will no longer be in control of the company.
In addition, our officers and directors, as part of the terms of the acquisition transaction, likely will be required to resign and be
replaced by one or more new officers and directors without a vote of our stockholders.
It
is anticipated that any securities issued in any such reorganization would be issued in reliance upon exemption from registration under
applicable federal and state securities laws. In some circumstances, however, as a negotiated element of a transaction, we may agree
to register all or a part of such securities immediately after the transaction is consummated or at specified times thereafter. 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 that market.
With
respect to any merger or acquisition, negotiations with target company management are expected to focus on the percentage of our company
which the target company stockholders would acquire in exchange for all of their shareholdings in the target company. 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 our company following any merger or acquisition. The percentage ownership may be subject to significant
reduction in the event we acquire a target company with substantial assets. Any merger or acquisition effected by us can be expected
to have a significant dilutive effect on the percentage of shares held by our stockholders at such time.
We
will participate in a business opportunity only after the negotiation and execution of appropriate agreements. Although the terms of
such agreements cannot be predicted, generally such agreements will require certain representations and warranties of the parties thereto,
will specify certain events of default, will detail the terms of closing and the conditions which must be satisfied by the parties prior
to and after such closing, will outline the manner of bearing costs, including costs associated with our attorneys and accountants.
Competition
We
will remain an insignificant participant among the firms which engage in the acquisition of business opportunities. There are many established
venture capital and financial concerns which have significantly greater financial and personnel resources and technical expertise than
us. In view of our limited financial resources and limited management availability, we may be at a competitive disadvantage compared
to our competitors.
Employees
We
presently have no employees. Dr. Larry L. Eastland, our President and Principal Financial Officer, is engaged in other business activities
and anticipates that he will devote to our business a limited time until the acquisition of a successful business opportunity has been
identified. We expect no significant changes in the number of our employees other than such changes, if any, incident to a business combination.
Our
Principal Office
Our
principal office in space provided to us by Mr. Eastland at 99 East State Street, #202, Eagle, Idaho 83616
and
our telephone number is 310 220 4280.
An
investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below, together with
all of the other information included in this report, before making an investment decision. If any of the following risks actually occurs,
our business, financial condition or results of operations could suffer. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline,
and you may lose all or part of your investment. You should read the section entitled “Special Notes Regarding Forward-Looking
Statements” above for a discussion of what types of statements are forward-looking statements, as well as the significance of such
statements in the context of this report.
Risks
Related to Our Business
If
our business plans are not successful, we may not be able to continue operations as a going concern and our stockholders may lose their
entire investment in us.
We
have no revenues and no operating business. We had a net loss of $71,843 and $60,899 for the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021,
respectively and a working capital deficit of $37,174, and an accumulated deficit of $9,551,043 at December 31, 2022. The report of our
independent registered public accountants on our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 states that these conditions,
among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is
dependent upon our ability to meet our financial requirements, raise additional capital, and the success of our future operations. We
have no specific plans, understandings or agreements with respect to the raising of such funds as may be necessary to support our operations
and we may seek to raise the required capital by the issuance of equity or debt securities or by other means, which would likely dilute
the interests of our current shareholders.
Our
principal business objective for the next twelve months will be to seek, investigate and, if such investigation warrants, engage in a
business combination with a private entity whose business presents an opportunity for our stockholders. We cannot assure you that we
can identify a suitable business opportunity and consummate a business combination.
We
may require financing to acquire any business.
We
may require financing to find an acquisition candidate and consummate a transaction. We cannot assure you that we will be successful
in obtaining financing or locating a business to acquire or consummating a transaction or that any business we might acquire will be
operated in a profitable manner. We have no specific plans, understandings or agreements with respect to the raising of such funds as
may be necessary to complete an acquisition and we may seek to raise the required capital by the issuance of equity or debt securities
or by other means, which would likely dilute the interests of our current shareholders.
We
expect losses in the future because we have no revenue.
As
we have no revenue generating operations, we are expecting losses over the next 12 months due to the expenses associated with operating
our public company. We are not currently engaged in any revenue generating activities and cannot guarantee that we will ever be successful
in generating revenues in the future. We recognize that if we are unable to generate revenues, we will not be able to earn profits or
continue operations. There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful, and we
can provide investors with no assurance that we will generate any operating revenues or ever achieve profitable operations.
As
a blank check company, we must comply with Rule 419 of the Securities Act if we undertake an offering of our common stock.
The
Securities Act defines a “blank check company” as a development stage company that has no specific business plan or purpose
whose business plan is to merge with an unidentified company or companies. Thus, we are a blank check company. Rule 419 of the Securities
Act requires, in the case of a registered offering of our common stock, that we undertake certain procedural steps before any shares
of stock or the proceeds of the offering are released. Such requirements include:
Depositing
the net offering proceeds in escrow until an acquisition has been completed;
Depositing
all securities sold in the public offering into escrow until the acquisition has been completed;
Giving
public shareholders an opportunity to consider any proposed acquisition and a chance to either approve the transaction and retain their
shares or get at least 90% of their funds returned from the escrow.
The
need to comply with the provisions of Rule 419 could deter a target company from seeking to complete a transaction with us.
As
a shell company, we are not eligible to rely upon Form S-8 to issue our securities and are subject to enhanced reporting requirements.
As
a shell company we are not eligible to rely upon Form S-8 to issue securities. Further, as a blank check we are subject to enhanced specific
reporting requirements, including requirements as to the information to be disclosed in connection with any public offering of our securities
as specified in Rule 419. These enhanced disclosure provisions and the rights to be provided to any purchaser in a public offering of
our securities impose substantial costs on and impediments to a public offering of our common stock.
Because
we are a shell company and have no business, holders of our common stock may not rely upon Rule 144 until disclosure provisions applicable
to blank check companies are satisfied.
Rule
144 provides that shares of our common stock may not be sold under Rule 144 until we have ceased to be a shell company and one year has
elapsed from the date on which we have filed Form 10 Information. Thus, a holder of our common stock may be required to hold his shares
indefinitely.
As
a blank check company, our shareholders may face significant restrictions on the resale of our Common Stock due to state “blue
sky” laws and due to the applicability of Rule 419.
There
are state “blue sky” regulations that may adversely affect the transferability of our Common Stock. We have not registered
our Common Stock for resale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of any state. We are under no obligation to register
or qualify our Common Stock in any state or to advise the shareholders of any exemptions.
We
do not have any agreement for a business combination or other transaction.
We
have not yet entered into any definitive agreement, nor do we have any binding commitment or understanding to enter into or become engaged
in a merger with, joint venture with or acquisition of, a private or public entity. We cannot assure you that we will successfully identify
and evaluate suitable business opportunities or that we will conclude a business combination. We cannot guarantee that we will be able
to negotiate a business combination on favorable terms, and there is consequently a risk that future funds allocated to the purchase
of our shares will not be invested in a company with active business operations.
Our
future success is highly dependent on the ability of management to locate and attract a suitable acquisition.
The
success of our proposed plan of operation will depend to a great extent on the operations, financial condition and management of the
identified target company. While business combinations with entities having established operating histories are preferred, there can
be no assurance that we will be successful in locating candidates meeting such criteria. The decision to enter into a business combination
will likely be made without detailed feasibility studies, independent analysis, market surveys or similar information which, if we had
more funds available to us, would be desirable. In the event we complete a business combination the success of our operations will be
dependent upon management of the target company and numerous other factors beyond our control. We cannot assure you that we will identify
a target company and consummate a business combination.
There
is competition for those private companies suitable for a merger transaction of the type contemplated by management.
We
are in a highly competitive market for business opportunities which could reduce the likelihood of consummating a successful business
combination. We are and will continue to be an insignificant participant in the business of seeking mergers with, joint ventures with
and acquisitions of small private and public entities. A large number of established and well-financed entities, including Special Purpose
Acquisition Corporations (“SPACs”), small public companies and venture capital firms, are active in mergers and acquisitions
of companies that may be desirable target candidates for us. Nearly all these entities have significantly greater financial resources,
technical expertise and managerial capabilities than we do; consequently, we will be at a competitive disadvantage in identifying possible
business opportunities and successfully completing a business combination. These competitive factors may reduce the likelihood of our
identifying and consummating a successful business combination.
We
have not conducted market research to identify business opportunities, which may affect our ability to identify a business to merge with
or acquire.
We
have neither conducted nor have others made available to us results of market research concerning prospective business opportunities.
Therefore, we have no assurances that market demand exists for a merger or acquisition as contemplated by us. It may be expected that
any target business or transaction will present a level of risk that conventional private or public offerings of securities or conventional
bank financing will not be available. There is no assurance that we will be able to acquire a business opportunity on terms favorable
to us. Decisions as to which business opportunity to participate in will be unilaterally made by our management, which may act without
the consent, vote or approval of our stockholders.
Management
intends to devote only a limited amount of time to seeking a target company which may adversely impact our ability to identify a suitable
acquisition candidate.
While
seeking a business combination, Larry Eastland, our Chief Executive Officer and President, anticipates devoting a limited time to our affairs.
This limited commitment may adversely impact our ability to identify and consummate a successful business combination.
We
are dependent on the services of Larry Eastland, our Chief Executive Officer and President, to obtain capital required to implement our
business plan and for identifying, investigating, negotiating and integrating potential acquisition opportunities. The loss of the services
of Dr. Eastland could have a substantial adverse effect on us.
Our
ability to acquire an operating business will be largely contingent on our ability to retain Larry Eastland upon whom we will rely to obtain
capital required to implement our business plan and for identifying, investigating, negotiating and integrating potential acquisition
candidates and to attract and retain a highly qualified corporate and operations level management team. The loss of the services of Dr. Eastland could have a substantial adverse effect on us.
The
time and cost of preparing a private company to become a public reporting company may preclude us from entering into a merger or acquisition
with the most attractive private companies.
Target
companies that fail to comply with SEC reporting requirements may delay or preclude acquisition. Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange
Act require reporting companies to provide certain information about significant acquisitions, including audited financial statements
for the company acquired. The time and additional costs that may be incurred by some target entities to prepare these statements may
significantly delay or essentially preclude consummation of an acquisition. Otherwise suitable acquisition prospects that do not have
or are unable to obtain the required audited statements may be inappropriate for acquisition so long as the reporting requirements of
the Exchange Act are applicable.
We
may be subject to further government regulation which would adversely affect our operations.
Although
we will be subject to the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act, management believes we will not be subject to regulation under
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), since we will not be engaged in the business
of investing or trading in securities. If we engage in business combinations which result in our holding passive investment interests
in a number of entities, we could be subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act. If so, we would be required to register
as an investment company and could be expected to incur significant registration and compliance costs. We have obtained no formal determination
from the SEC as to our status under the Investment Company Act and, consequently, violation of the Investment Company Act could subject
us to material adverse consequences.
Any
potential acquisition or merger with a foreign company may subject us to additional risks.
If
we enter into a business combination with a foreign concern, we will be subject to risks inherent in business operations outside of the
United States. These risks include, for example, currency fluctuations, regulatory problems, punitive tariffs, unstable local tax policies,
trade embargoes, risks related to shipment of raw materials and finished goods across national borders and cultural and language differences.
Foreign economies may differ favorably or unfavorably from the United States economy in growth of gross national product, rate of inflation,
market development, rate of savings, and capital investment, resource self-sufficiency and balance of payments positions, and in other
respects.
If
we fail to develop and maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results
or prevent fraud, as a result, current and potential stockholders could lose confidence in our financial reports, which could harm our
business and the trading price of our common stock.
Effective
internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and effectively prevent fraud. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act of 2002 requires us to evaluate and report on our internal controls over financial reporting. Compliance with Section 404 requires
that we strengthen, assess and test our system of internal controls to provide the basis for our report. The process of strengthening
our internal controls and complying with Section 404 is expensive and time consuming, and requires significant management attention.
We cannot be certain that the measures we undertake will ensure that we will maintain adequate controls over our financial processes
and reporting in the future. Furthermore, if we are able to rapidly grow our business, the internal controls that we will need will become
more complex, and significantly more resources will be required to ensure our internal controls remain effective. Failure to implement
required controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm our operating results or cause us to fail to meet
our reporting obligations. If we discover a material weakness in our internal controls, the disclosure of that fact, even if the weakness
is quickly remedied, could diminish investors’ confidence in our financial statements and harm our stock price. In addition, non-compliance
with Section 404 could subject us to a variety of administrative sanctions, including the suspension of trading, ineligibility for listing
on the OTC Markets, and the inability of registered broker-dealers to make a market in our common stock, which would further reduce our
stock price.
Our
sole officer and director, who will be responsible for preparing our financial statements and evaluating the effectiveness of our internal
controls over financial reporting is not qualified to do so.
Larry Eastland, our sole officer and director, has not been trained in accounting and has extremely limited knowledge of United States Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles and the rules and regulations of the SEC applicable to financial reporting or to being a public company
generally and no experience in preparing financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and evaluating the effectiveness of internal
controls over financial reporting.
Our
lack of adequate accounting personnel is a material weakness in our financial reporting.
A
company is deemed to have a material weakness in financial reporting when one or more of its internal controls over financial reporting
are ineffective. Because we lack accounting personnel with training and experience in U. S. GAAP, financial reporting and the design
and evaluation of internal controls over financial reporting, we have a material weakness which could result in a material misstatement
in our financial statements. Any misstatement in our financial statements could cause us to have to restate our financial statements,
which would be expensive, time consuming and adversely impact our ability to realize our business plan.
You
will not have the ability to determine the outcome of matters requiring stockholder approval, including the acquisition of a target business.
It
is anticipated that any acquisition we consummate will not require the consent of our shareholders. As a result, you will not have the
ability to determine the outcome of matters related thereto.
There
is no active trading market for our shares of common stock.
There
is no active trading market for our common stock. There can be no assurance that a regular trading market for our securities will develop,
or that if one develops, that it will be sustained. The trading price of our securities could be subject to wide fluctuations, in response
to announcements by us or others, developments affecting us, and other events or factors. In addition, the stock market has experienced
extreme price and volume fluctuations in recent years. These fluctuations have had a substantial effect on the market prices for many
companies, often unrelated to the operating performance of such companies, and may adversely affect the market prices of the securities.
Such risks could have an adverse effect on the stock’s future liquidity.
Our
common stock is subject to the “Penny Stock” Rules of the SEC and the trading market in our securities is limited, which
makes transactions in our stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our stock.
The
Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for the purposes
relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00
per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require: (a) that a broker
or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks; and (b) the broker or dealer receive from the investor a
written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.
In
order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must: (a) obtain financial information
and investment experience and objectives of the person; and (b) make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks
are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating
the risks of transactions in penny stocks. The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure
schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form: (a) sets forth the basis on which
the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and (b) that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from
the investor prior to the transaction. Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the
“penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common shares and cause a decline in
the market value of our stock.
Disclosure
also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions
payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies
available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent
price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
Under
our Articles of Incorporation, our Board of Directors has the authority, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with
terms that may not be beneficial to common stockholders and with the ability to adversely affect stockholder voting power and perpetuate
the board’s control over our company.
Our
Board of Directors by resolution may authorize the issuance of up to one million shares of preferred stock in one or more series with
such limitations and restrictions as it may determine, in its sole discretion, with no further authorization by security holders required
for the issuance of such shares. The Board may determine the specific terms of the preferred stock, including: designations; preferences;
conversions rights; cumulative, relative; participating; and optional or other rights, including: voting rights; qualifications; limitations;
or restrictions of the preferred stock.
The
issuance of preferred stock may adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of common stock. Preferred stock may
be issued quickly with terms calculated to discourage, make more difficult, delay or prevent a change in control of our company or make
removal of management more difficult. As a result, the Board of Directors’ ability to issue preferred stock may discourage the
potential hostile acquirer, possibly resulting in beneficial negotiations. Negotiating with an unfriendly acquirer may result in terms
more favorable to us and our stockholders. Conversely, the issuance of preferred stock may adversely affect the market price of, and
the voting and other rights of the holders of the common stock. We presently have no plans to issue any preferred stock.
We
may, in the future, issue additional shares of common stock, which would reduce investors’ percent of ownership and may dilute
our share value.
Our
Articles of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of 100 million shares of common stock. The future issuance of common stock may result
in substantial dilution in the percentage of our common stock held by our then existing stockholders. We may value any common stock issued
in the future on an arbitrary basis. The issuance of common stock for future services or acquisitions or other corporate actions may
have the effect of diluting the value of the shares held by our investors and might have an adverse effect on any trading market for
our common stock.
Because
we do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our common stock, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares
unless they sell them.
We
intend to retain any future earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends
on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Unless we pay dividends, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their
shares unless they sell them. We cannot assure you that you will be able to sell shares when you desire to do so.
Risks
Related to Ownership of Common Stock and Operation as a Public Company.
We
will incur increased costs as a result of operating as a public company, and our management will be required to devote substantial time
to compliance efforts.
As
a public company, we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. The Sarbanes-Oxley
Act and related SEC regulations, have created uncertainty for public companies and significantly increased the costs and risks associated
with accessing the public markets and public reporting. For example, on January 30, 2009, the SEC adopted rules requiring companies to
provide their financial statements in interactive data format using the extensible Business Reporting Language, or XBRL. We are required
to comply with these rules. Our management and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time and financial resources
to comply with these requirements, as well any new requirements implemented by the SEC. Moreover, these rules and regulations will increase
our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly and could lead to a diversion of
management time and attention from revenue generating activities to compliance activities. We are currently unable to estimate these
costs with any degree of certainty. These rules and regulations could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified
persons to serve on our board of directors and board committees or as executive officers and more expensive for us to obtain director
and officer liability insurance.
The
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) sales practice requirements may also limit your ability to buy and sell
our common stock, which could depress the price of our shares.
FINRA
has adopted rules that require broker-dealers to have reasonable grounds for believing that an investment is suitable for a customer
before recommending that investment to the customer. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional
customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status
and investment objectives, among other things. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability
such speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. Thus, FINRA requirements make it more difficult
for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our shares, have
an adverse effect on the market for our shares, and thereby depress our share price.
We
do not foresee paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future and, as a result, our investors’ sole source
of gain, if any, will depend on capital appreciation, if any.
We
do not plan to declare or pay any cash dividends on our shares of common stock in the foreseeable future. As a result, investors should
not rely on an investment in our securities if they require the investment to produce dividend income. Capital appreciation, if any,
of our shares may be investors’ sole source of gain for the foreseeable future. Moreover, investors may not be able to resell their
shares of our common stock at or above the price they paid for them.
