Summary of History and Significant Accounting Policies	NOTE 1: Summary of History and Significant Accounting Policies Nature of Operations Gulf & Orient Steamship Company, LTD. (“Gulf” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Colorado on May 9, 1996. Gulf originally intended to engage in the business of marine transportation. On December 31, 2018, Gulf entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with High Sierra Technologies, Inc,, a Nevada corporation, and all of its shareholders. The shareholders of High Sierra Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation, were issued shares of the Gulf’s common stock on a one for one share basis in exchange for their shares of High Sierra Technologies, Inc,’s, a Nevada corporation, common stock. High Sierra Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gulf in the business combination. The Share Exchange was treated as a reverse merger and recapitalization, and as a result, the consolidated financial statements are presented under successor entity reporting, with an inception date of August 6, 2018. Subsequently Gulf’s name was changed to High Sierra Technologies, Inc. High Sierra Technologies, Inc., the wholly-owned subsidiary, was incorporated in the State of Nevada on August 6, 2018. It was formed with the intention that it would become the assignee, owner and licensor of certain Intellectual Property that was, prior to assignment, the property of Vincent C. Lombardi, Ph.D. (the “Intellectual Property”) who is an officer, director and co-founder of the subsidiary. The subsidiary was further formed with the goal that it would continue to develop and expand its intellectual property portfolio with an emphasis on the recreational cannabis industry as well as the industrial hemp industry. Through its subsidiary, the Company is a start-up that develops patents and other products used in the processing of cannabis, including industrial hemp, and will license these technologies to companies in the industry. The Company will likely incur research and development expenses in the future, and intends to develop a policy regarding the same. The Company was growing industrial hemp on a 200 acre property it leases in McDermitt, Nevada and incurred expenses in relation to this project and the failure of the crop (see Note 8). Basis of presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted from these statements pursuant to such rules and regulations and, accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes necessary for comprehensive financial statements and should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the periods presented have been reflected herein. The Company consolidates its subsidiaries (High Sierra Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and Gulf Acquisition, Inc., a Utah corporation) in accordance with ASC 810., All inter-company transactions have been eliminated during consolidation. Concentration of Risk The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with established financial institutions. At times, such cash and investments may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Stock-based Compensation The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Based Compensation which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense based on estimated fair values for all share-based awards made to third parties, employees and directors, including stock options. Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based awards to employees and directors on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as its method of determining fair value. This model is affected by the Company's stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables. These subjective variables include, but are not limited to the Company's expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense in the statement of operations over the requisite service period. Upon the adoption of ASU 2018-07, the Company measured the fair value of equity instruments for nonemployee based payment awards on the grant date. Investment in Growing Crops The Company’s Investment in Growing Crops represented the total cost of the crop inputs in the ground. These were recorded at cost and were to be expensed to cost of goods sold once the crops were harvested and sold. The crop harvest for the year failed and the Company incurred a $246,914 loss from the preparation, planting and harvesting of the crop during 2019. Long-lived Assets Long-lived assets are stated at cost. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is determined using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which is five years. Where an impairment of a property’s value is determined to be other than temporary, an impairment for the estimated potential loss is recorded to adjust the property to its net realizable value. When items of building or equipment are sold or retired, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the results of operations. The Company does not have any long-lived tangible assets, which are considered to be impaired as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The Company applies the provisions of ASC 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment, where applicable to all long lived assets. ASC 360-10 addresses accounting and reporting for impairment and disposal of long-lived assets. The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used in accordance with ASC 360-10. ASC 360-10 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost of disposal. Intangible Assets Goodwill and intangible assets are reviewed for potential impairment in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, whenever events or circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The Company had no such intangibles at March 31, 2020 or December 31, 2019, and recorded no impairment losses during the three months ended March 31, 2020 or 2019. Revenue Recognition The Company applies ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company will recognize revenue from the commercial sales of products, licensing agreements and contracts to perform pilot studies by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. Advertising Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses for three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 were $0. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company adopted FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which provides a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The standard also expands disclosures about instruments measured at fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets; Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and Level 3 — Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made; however actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Emerging Growth Company Critical Accounting Policy Disclosure The Company qualifies as an “emerging growth company” under the 2012 JOBS Act. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. As an emerging grown company, the Company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. The Company has chosen to “opt out” of such extended transition period, and as a result, the Company will comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740-10-30, Income Taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company adopted ASC 740-10-25, which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under ASC 740-10-25, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. ASC 740-10-25 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. The Company had no material adjustments to its liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits according to the provisions of ASC 740-10-25. Loss Per Share Net loss per common share is computed pursuant to ASC 260-10-45, Earnings Per Share. Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during each period, unless their effect is anti-dilutive due to continuing losses. There were no potentially dilutive shares outstanding as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Recent Accounting Pronouncements We do not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on our results of operations or financial position.
