BUTTE HIGHLANDS MINING COMPANY
(A Development Stage Company)
CONDENSED NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2015
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Butte Highlands Mining Company (hereinafter “Butte” or “the Company”) was incorporated in May 1929 under the laws of the State of Delaware for the purpose of exploring and mining the Butte Highland’s (Only Chance) Mine, south of Butte, Montana. The Company was reorganized in October 1996 for the purpose of acquiring and developing mineral properties. As of the date of reorganization, stockholders representing approximately 76% of the outstanding capital stock could not be located. In order to obtain the quorum necessary for the special meetings, the Company obtained an order from the Superior Court of Spokane County, Washington appointing a trustee for the benefit of those stockholders which could not be located.
As of May 17, 2007 the Company had disposed of all of its historical mineral properties or claims, and has reentered the development stage. The Board of Directors intends to seek out an appropriate business opportunity and has not limited its search to any particular industry. Management believes it can identify opportunities in several sectors and will proceed with the appropriate diligence to create value for the shareholders. Operations are primarily conducted from the Company headquarters in Spokane, Washington.
The Company had entered into negotiations with a possible a acquirer. The deal is no longer going through due to a lack of financing.
The foregoing unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for complete financial statements. These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements furnished herein includes all adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period presented. Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of significant accounting policies of Butte Highlands Mining Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments as defined by ASC 825-10-50, include cash, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses. All instruments are accounted for on a historical cost basis, which, due to the short maturity of these financial instruments, approximates fair value at March 31, 2015.
The standards under ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FASB ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

CONDENSED NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2015
Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2. Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little of no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
The Company did not have any assets measured at fair value at March 31, 2015.
Provision for Taxes
Income taxes are provided based upon the liability method of accounting pursuant to ASC 740-10-25Income Taxes – Recognition. Under the approach, deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end. A valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets if management does not believe the Company has met the “more likely than not” standard imposed by ASC 740-10-25-5 to allow recognition of such an asset. See Note 4.
NOTE 3 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company utilized office facilities provided by its president. The value of the office facilities provided by the Company’s president is nominal and immaterial to the financial statements.
NOTE 4 – INCOME TAXES
Income taxes are provided based upon the liability method of accounting pursuant to ASC 740-10-25Income Taxes – Recognition. Under this approach, deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end. A valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets if management does not believe the Company has met the “more likely than not” standard imposed by ASC 740-10-25-5.
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amount used for income tax purposes.
Significant components of the deferred tax assets at an anticipated tax rate of 35% for the periods ended March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 are as follows:
| March 31 2015 |
| December 31, 2014 |

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Cautionary Statement
Some sections of this management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations may contain forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance and underlying assumptions that are not statements of historical facts. This document and any other written or oral statements made by us or on our behalf may include forward-looking statements, which reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intends,” “estimates,” “forecast,” “project” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements in this document are based upon various assumptions, and although we believe that these assumptions were reasonable when made, these statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control, and are difficult to predict. Actual results could differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s view only as of the date of this report.
Business of Butte Highlands Mining Company
Butte Highlands Mining Company (hereinafter “Butte,” “We” or “the Company”) was incorporated in May 1929 under the laws of the State of Delaware for the purpose of exploring and mining the Butte Highland’s (Only Chance) Mine, south of Butte, Montana. The Company is inactive, having sold the last of its mining claims in 2007.
We intend to acquire an interest in a business seeking the perceived advantages of a publicly registered corporation. We will not restrict our search to any specific business or industry, and we may participate in a business venture of virtually any kind or nature. The Company may seek a business opportunity with an entity which has recently commenced operations, wishes to utilize the public marketplace in order to raise additional capital to expand into new products or markets, develop a new product or service, or for other corporate purposes. The Company may acquire assets and/or establish subsidiaries in various businesses, or acquire existing businesses as subsidiaries. Business opportunities may be available in many different industries 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.
Management of the Company, while not experienced in matters relating to the new direction of the Company, will rely primarily upon their own efforts to accomplish the business purposes. The Company does not anticipate a significant change in the number of employees during the next 12 months. It is not anticipated that any outside consultants or advisors, other than the Company's legal counsel, will be utilized to effectuate its business purposes described herein. During the next twelve months, the Company expects to be able to satisfy its cash requirements, and does not foresee the need to raise additional capital during this period.
Effective July 6, 2009 the Company’s Class A Common Stock was registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company’s Class A Common Stock is listed for quotation on the OTCQB. Our trading symbol is “BTHI”.

Result of Operations for period ended March 31, 2015 compared to the period ended March 31, 2014
During the three month period ended March 31, 2015, the Company had a net loss of $1,155 compared to a net loss of $12,565 during the three month period ended March 31, 2014. This represents a decreased net loss of $11,410 during the three month period ended March 31, 2015. The decrease in net loss is attributable to a decrease in spending on professional fees during the three month period ended March 31, 2015.
Total operating expenses decreased to $1,146 during the three month period ended March 31, 2015 from $12,567 for the comparable period ended March 31, 2014. The decrease is attributable to decreased professional fees over the respective three month period ended March 31, 2014.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company’s working capital at March 31, 2015 was $130,198, compared to working capital of $131,353 at December 31, 2014. Working capital decreased primarily due to continued operating expenses with no income.
Net cash used in operating activities was $1,308 during the three month period ended March 31, 2015 compared with $765 during the three month period ended March 31, 2014.
Cash flow from investing activities was zero for the period ended March 31, 2015, remaining unchanged from the three month period ended March 31, 2014.
Cash flow from financing activities was zero for the period ended March 31, 2015, remaining unchanged from the three month period ended March 31, 2014.
As a result, cash decreased by $1,308 during the three month period ended March 31, 2015. The Company had cash of $130,045 as of March 31, 2015. It will not be necessary for the Company to raise additional capital to continue its business activities during the next twelve months.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
There are no preliminary agreements or understandings between the Company and its officers and directors or affiliates or lending institutions with respect to any loan agreements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Smaller reporting companies are not required to provide this information.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
In connection with the preparation of this report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was carried out by the Company’s management, with the participation of the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”)). Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
10
Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management concluded, as of the end of the period covered by this report, that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting information required to be disclosed, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information was accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
