Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1 - Organization, Basis of Presentation and Going Concern
Organization
Gold Hill Resources, Inc., a Nevada corporation, was incorporated on March 2, 2001. Prior to June 13, 2013, we were a public “shell” company.
On June 13, 2013, Gold Hill Resources, Inc. closed a share exchange transaction (the "Merger") pursuant to which it (i) became the 100% parent of Accurate Locators, Inc., an Oregon corporation, and Imaging Locators, Inc., a Nevada Corporation, and wholly owned subsidiary of Accurate Locators, Inc. (Gold Hill Resources, Inc., Accurate Locators, Inc. and Imaging Locators, Inc. collectively the "Company", "we", "us", "Our"); and (ii) assumed the operations of Accurate Locators and Imaging Locators. Gold Hill Resources, Inc. was deemed the legal acquirer in the reverse merger. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations of Accurate Locators, Inc. prior to the Merger are reflected in the financial statements and have been recorded at the historical cost basis of Accurate Locators, Inc.
As a result of the Merger, we are solely engaged in Accurate Locators’ business. Accurate Locators has been a metal detector manufacturer and distributor since 1992 for dealers, treasure hunters, gold prospectors and utilities companies world-wide. The Company provides industry standard metal detectors for treasure hunting, gold prospecting and locating under-ground cable, pipe and utilities. The Company’s products are used by many sectors of the US Government and many mining type operations including the likes of Westinghouse, Bureau of Land Management, Bechtel, Graybar, US Army, Navy and Marines.
Since 2004, Imaging Locators, Inc. operates a metal detecting store with a wide variety of instruments. The Company specializes in underground Surveyor Apparatus units, Ground Penetrating Radar, Pulse Induction Metal Detectors and Tunnel Locators.
We are engaged in several research and development projects; we are evolving our current ground penetrating radar, induced polarization, pulse induction and other metal detection systems. We filed our first provisional patent on our blanket antenna technology on November 12, 2012. We also plan to file several additional patents in the next twelve months; which will further enhance and protect our intellectual property portfolio and greatly improve on our detection systems capabilities, thus positioning the Company to capture greater market share in the geophysics sector.
In addition our core business of development, manufacturing and distribution of metal detection products and systems, and utilizing our evolving technology in metal detection products, we plan to identify potential acquisition and partnership opportunities within the precious metals mining sector.
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited, consolidated financial statements of the Company as of January 31, 2014, and for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, include the accounts of Gold Hill Resources, Inc. from the date of Merger, Accurate Locators, Inc. and Imaging Locators, Inc. All transactions and accounts between and among Gold Hill Resources, Inc., Accurate Locators, Inc. and Imaging Locators, Inc. have been eliminated. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial reporting, accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended October 31, 2013, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as part of the Company's Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial information have been included. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year. The Company did not record an income tax provision during the periods presented due to net taxable losses.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. In the course of funding development and sales and marketing activities, the Company has sustained operating losses and has an accumulated deficit of $293,148 and $208,829 at January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013, respectively. In addition, the Company has negative working capital of $32,269 and $59,718 at January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013, respectively. We have funded operations through accumulated earnings, borrowings from related parties, and proceeds from debt and equity.
We are in need of generating significant cash resources to achieve our future strategic plan. We anticipate that our existing cash on hand will not be sufficient to fund our business needs. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. In this regard, management is proposing to raise any necessary additional funds not provided by operations through loans or through additional sales of common stock. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising this additional capital or in achieving profitable operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.
Note 2 - Inventories
Inventories include metal detectors for treasure hunting, gold and royal metal prospecting, forensic and military applications and also for locating under-ground utilities. Most inventory is finished goods. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using a weighted-average method. The reserves for obsolescence are maintained based on historical trends and specific identification, and therefore require management to make assumptions and to apply judgment about a number of factors, such as market conditions, the selling environment, historical results and current inventory trends. The reserve for obsolete inventory was $51,259 as of January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013, respectively.

Overview
Gold Hill Resources, Inc. develops and markets proprietary mining and mineral detection technology via our wholly owned subsidiary Accurate Locators, Inc. Utilizing our technology in metal detection products, we plan to identify potential acquisition and partnership opportunities within the precious metals mining sector.
Accurate Locators is a leading all-purpose metal detector manufacturer and distributor which has been in business since 1992 providing several industry benchmark metal detectors for treasure hunting, gold and royal metal prospecting, forensic and military applications and also for locating under-ground utilities. Our products have been used by mining operators, treasure hunters and various sectors of the US Government, including the military branches. Our client list includes Westinghouse, Bureau of Land Management, Bechtel, Graybar, General Services Administration and U.S. Army, Navy and Marines.
We are engaged in several research and development projects including current ground penetrating radar, induced polarization, pulse induction and other metal detection systems. We filed our first provisional patent on our blanket antenna technology on November 12, 2012. We also plan to file several additional patents in the next twelve months; which will further enhance and protect our intellectual property portfolio and greatly improve on our detection systems capabilities, thus positioning the Company to capture greater market share in the geophysics sector.
Our sales are generated in several different market segments including gold prospecting, treasure hunting and utility and archeological locating. Current gold “find” reports significantly impact demand for detection technologies in the gold prospecting and treasure hunting market.
International dealer sales have historically accounted for approximately 40% of total sales volume. However, over the most recent quarter, we have seen international sales spike to approximately 50% of total sales volume. We attribute this increase to an increase in small and medium mining concerns in Africa, and more accommodative conditions in certain regions in the middle east due to the Arab Spring.
We expect sales growth to continue as a result of high gold prices, which drive increased participation and demand in the prospecting markets. In addition, we believe that our ongoing research and development to improve existing technologies will drive sales growth, with existing customers seeking to upgrade and creating new ones.
The Merger was accounted for as a reverse merger (recapitalization) with Accurate Locators deemed to be the accounting acquirer, and our Company deemed to be the legal acquirer. Accordingly, the following discussing represents a discussion of the operations of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Accurate Locators, Inc. for the periods presented.
Results of Operations
For the Three Months Ended January 31, 2014 and 2013
Revenue
Our revenues increased $223,420 to $475,512 during the three months ended January 31, 2014 compared to $252,092 during the three months ended January 31, 2013. This increase over the first quarter of 2013 was due primarily to customer gold “finds”. A strong international mining and locating business continues to help us make strides in non-saturated markets. Additionally, after completing R&D, we are commercializing our dual detection system which we expect to increase revenues in 2014 compared to 2013.
Cost of Revenue and Gross Profits
Our gross profit decreased $27,773 to $126,837 during the three months ended January 31, 2014 compared to $154,610 during the three months ended January 31, 2013. The decrease in our gross profit margin was due to increased discounts due to competitive price pressure as well as increased dealer vs. retail sales.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased $92,381 to $243,700 during the three months ended January 31, 2014 compared to $151,319 during the three months ended January 31, 2013. The increase is primarily due to the inclusion of the parent company Gold Hill Resources, Inc. operating expenses in 2014 which costs were not included in 2013 prior to the Merger. The increase was primarily due to professional fees and personnel. Moving forward, the Company has implemented cost cutting measures and expects SG&A to materially decrease.
Other Income and (Expense)
The Company experienced a $37,587 increase of net income to income of $32,544 during the three months ended January 31, 2014 compared to net expense of $5,043 during the three months ended January 31, 2013. During the three months ended January 31, 2014, the Company received and recognized $54,031 from insurance proceeds related to product that was damaged in 2013 and previously written off as other expense. Additionally, the Company recognized interest expense of $19,644 in 2014 compared to $5,043 in 2013. The increase is primarily due to the recognition of $11,000 of interest expense related to a loan from Direct Capital Corporation.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities was ($16,199) and $21,758 for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase in the amount of cash used was largely due to the increase in net loss in 2014 offset by a smaller positive change in accounts payable and accrued expense.
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities was $0 and $(350) for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $7,355 and ($11,709) for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Cash provided by financing activities in 2014 was mainly from the sale of common stock and proceeds from secured debt and convertible promissory notes.
The total liabilities of the Company at January 31, 2014 were $513,506. To the extent our business erodes or we are unable to receive additional financing we would be unable to meet the terms of our debt and we would have difficulty continuing as a going concern. Certain debts are secured by inventory, accounts receivable, equipment and vehicles. As of January 31, 2014, we were in compliance in all material respects with our debt agreements. There are no financial covenants concerning debt-to-equity, tangible net equity and interest coverage ratios. Currently, we cannot borrow any more under our credit facilities. However, there are no covenants that restrict additional borrowing from other sources. There are no financial covenants under our promissory note agreements.
We have suffered recurring losses from operations during the three months ended January 31, 2014 and in the past two fiscal years. We have funded operations through operating cashflow, borrowings from related parties, and proceeds from debt. We are in need of generating significant cash resources to achieve our future strategic plan. On June 4, 2013, the Company completed a private placement offering to certain institutional and accredited investors pursuant to which the Company sold an aggregate of 950,200 shares of the Company’s common stock resulting in gross proceeds of $283,173 to the Company. From June 14 to October 15, 2013, the Company completed a private placement offering to certain institutional and accredited investors pursuant to which the Company sold an aggregate of 390,000 shares of the Company’s common stock resulting in gross proceeds of $195,000 to the Company. During the three months ended January 31, 2014, the Company received proceeds of $105,500 from CPNs', $50,001 from Direct Capital Corporation and $25,000 from the sale of common stock. The Company intends to use these proceeds for working capital and to develop its element detecting technologies. Even with the proceeds we raised, we anticipate that our existing cash and cash equivalents will not be sufficient to fund our business needs for more than three months and we are currently seeking additional financing. In the event we were unsuccessful in raising additional funding and our existing cash and cash equivalents were not sufficient to fund our business needs, we would scale back all new product development besides our Ground Penetrating Radar project. This would delay the release of our future products. Our officers have also indicated their willingness to defer amounts owed to them. This would allow us to maintain our existing operations.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our auditor has issued a "going concern" qualification as part of their opinion in the Audit Report for the year ended October 31, 2013.
Capital Expenditures
We have not incurred any material capital expenditures.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources and would be considered material to investors.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
We review new accounting standards as issued. Although some of these accounting standards issued or effective after the end of our previous fiscal year may be applicable to us, we have not identified any standards that we believe merit further discussion. We believe that none of the new standards will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of January 31, 2014, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the information required to be disclosed in our United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
On December 30, 2013 and January 28, 2014 the Company received proceeds of $63,000 and $42,500, respectively in connection with issuing two identical CPN's to Holder. The CPN's accrue interest of eight percent per annum and mature nine months from the date of issuance. The Holder may convert the CPN's beginning one hundred eighty days following the date of the each CPN. The conversion price of the Note is 61% multiplied by the average of the lowest three trading prices for the common stock during the ten trading day period ending on the latest trading day prior to the conversion date. The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature contained in each CPN amounted to $90,929. The Company recorded a discount to the face amount of the CPNs' which is being accreted over the ten month term of each CPN using the effective interest method.
During the three months ended January 31, 2014, the Company issued 160,000 of shares for which funds were received prior to October 31, 2013 pursuant a private placement offering to certain institutional and accredited investors.
In connection with the above stock sales, we did not pay any underwriting discounts or commissions. None of the sales of securities described or referred to above was registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). We had or one of our affiliates had a prior business relationship with each of the purchasers, and no general solicitation or advertising was used in connection with the sales. In making the sales without registration under the Securities Act, we relied upon the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
