HIGH DESERT HOLDING CORP.

Notes to the Financial Statements

 

NOTE 1. GENERAL ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

 

High Desert Holding Corp. (the “Company”) was organized in the state of Nevada in September 2013. The Company is a precious and non-precious mineral exploration company. The Company is initially focused on identifying both public and privately held land that have historically demonstrated commercially viable resources primarily located in the Western United States, particularly Nevada.

 

The Company has a mineral property located in Nevada has not yet determined whether these properties contain a viable resource.  Future exploration and development of this and any other properties will be dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to satisfy the expenditure requirements under the property agreements to complete the development of the properties and upon the ability to raise additional capital.

 

The interim condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the Company’s opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.

 

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks and financial instruments which mature within three months of the date of purchase. As of March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company did not have any cash equivalents.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that could be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  Financial assets are marked to bid prices and financial liabilities are marked to offer prices.  The fair value should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity. In addition, the fair value of liabilities should include consideration of non-performance risk, including the party’s own credit risk.

 

Fair value measurements do not include transaction costs.  A fair value hierarchy is used to prioritize the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values.  Categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy is defined into the following three categories:

 

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

There are no newly issued accounting pronouncements that the Company expects to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

NOTE 3. GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Since inception, the Company has not identified any proven or probable reserve and correspondingly has not generated any revenue during its exploration stage. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financials 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. The Company needs to raise additional funds to continue as a going concern.

 

NOTE 4. MINERAL PROPERTY

 

Kibby Flats

 

The Company has ten (10) unpatented mining claims commonly referred to as Kibby Flats located in Esmerelda County, Nevada with estimated value of $80,000.

 

QR Claims

 

The Company has fifty (50) unpatented mining claims commonly referred to as the “QR Claims 1-50” located in Humboldt County, Nevada with an estimated value of $617,143.

 

NOTE 5. MINING EQUIPMENT

 

In February 2017, the Company sold mining equipment with a carrying value of $79,678 for a gross sales price of $50,000. As part of the sale, the Company incurred commissions totaling $2,825 included in the loss on sale of $32,503.

 

NOTE 6. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

Common Stock

 

The Company is authorized to issue 70,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share. As of March 31, 2017, the Company had a total of 37,990,000 shares issued and outstanding. The following provides information for the shares of restricted and unregistered shares of common stock that we issued from January 1, 2017 through March 31, 2017.

 

In January 2016, the Company issued 25,000 shares of common stock at $0.20 per share for cash proceeds totaling $5,000.

 

NOTE 7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

In August 2013 our founder, former officer and director, and significant shareholder, Marty Weigel, loaned us $9,000 to fund the start-up of our initial operations. Mr. Weigel has agreed to not accrue interest on the loan and has informally agreed to defer re-payment of the loan until such time as we have acquired a more stable source of funding.

 

During the period ended March 31, 2017, we paid Ingenium Accounting Associates, an accounting Firm controlled by Marty Weigel, $16,009 to settle the total balance owed as of December 31, 2016 related to payments made on our behalf to maintain our regulatory filings with the State of Nevada, and pay for operating expenses.

 

As of March 31, 2017, we owed Mr. Kersey, our Chief Executive and Financial Officer, $8,594 for administrative and travel expenses paid on our behalf. During the period ended March 31, 2017, we repaid Mr. Kersey $20,500 related to expenses paid by him on our behalf, of which were incurred since his appointment. Mr. Kersey has agreed to defer repayment of the currently outstanding obligations until the Company’s cash resources significantly increase.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Unaudited Financial Statements, and Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements contain forward-looking statements that discuss, among other things, future expectations and projections regarding future developments, operations, and financial conditions. All forward-looking statements are based on management's existing beliefs about present and future events outside of management's control and on assumptions that may prove to be incorrect. If any underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated, projected, or intended. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in expectations or events or circumstances after the date this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is filed.

 

When this report uses the words "we," "us," "our," or "HDHC" and the "Company," they refer to High Desert Holding Corp.

 

Overview

 

Since our inception in 2013, we have been engaged in the identification, potential acquisition, and on-going exploration of precious and non-precious mineral properties located in the Western United States with an initial emphasis in Nevada. Until May 2015, we did not have patented or unpatented mineral claims and our activities only consisted of initial discussions and due diligence sample testing.

 

We currently hold ten (10) unpatented mining claims located in Esmeralda County, Nevada, commonly known as "Kibby Flats Property". We also hold fifty (50) unpatented mining claims commonly referred to as the "QR Property" located in Humboldt County, Nevada.

 

Funding permitted, we expect to devote the majority of our efforts permitting and exploring the QR Property. Since the end of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 and through the date of this report, we were unable to commence material field activities due to heavy snowfall and our lack of financial resources.

 

Results of Operations

 

Revenues

 

We have not earned any revenues since our inception and we do not anticipate earning revenues in the near future.

 

Operating Expenses

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2017 our exploration and development costs decreased to approximately $2,000, from $45,000 in the comparable period of 2016. The decrease relates to weather and financial restraints preventing us from commencing material exploration activities. The majority of the $45,000 incurred for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was related to the engagement of a consultant in exchange for equity. As our funding permits, we expect to incur increasing exploration costs for at least the next twelve months.

 

During the period ended March 31, 2017, our general and administrative costs increased approximately $12,000 to $27,750 from the prior comparable period of 2016. General and administrative expense primarily consists of director fees totaling $15,000 and professional fees associated with regulatory compliance.

 

During the period ended March 31, 2017, we sold a piece of mining equipment that we believe was not critical to our planned exploration activities. The sale provided net cash proceeds of approximately $47,000 and we recognized a loss on the sale of approximately $33,000. We do not have current plans to sell other mining equipment, however, management periodically reviews our exploration equipment needs.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of March 31, 2017, the Company had a working capital deficit of $71,404. Current liabilities as of that date consisted of $77,594. Nearly all current obligations due, inclusive of approximately $45,000 of director fees, are held by related parties that informally agreed to defer payment until the Company’s financial resources improve (however, they are under no formal obligation to continue to do so).

 

 

 

 8 

 

During the quarter ended March 31, 2017 our cash used in operations primarily consisted of paying down previously incurred obligations totaling approximately $17,000 and continuing to incur operating expenses included in our net loss of approximately $62,000.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2017 we sold mining equipment and received net proceeds of approximately $47,000. We used these proceeds to fund the paydown of our operating obligations as discussed above. Our future investing activities will be dependent upon our ability to execute our operating plans.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we received $5,000 from the sale of our 25,000 shares of unrestricted common stock.

 

Our current available capital reserves are not sufficient for the Company to remain operational. We require additional equity and / or debt financing to implement our exploration and other business plans.

 

Our auditors have issued a "going concern" opinion on our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016, meaning that there is substantial doubt we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital. No substantial revenues are anticipated until we have completed one or more financings and implemented our plan of operations. Our only source for cash at this time is investments by others and short-term cash advances from our sole officer and other affiliates, who have no obligations to do so.

 

We have achieved success in using shares of our restricted and unregistered shares of common stock in making capital asset acquisitions including mining equipment and mineral properties. We expect to continue to issue shares for certain future capital acquisitions and to compensate certain officers, directors, and other consultants; however, there is no guarantee we will be able to do so at terms favorable to our operating plans or at all.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our Unaudited Financial Statements and Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. We continually evaluate the accounting policies and estimates used to prepare the condensed financial statements. The estimates are based on historical experience and assumptions believed to be reasonable under current facts and circumstances. Actual amounts and results could differ from these estimates made by management. Certain accounting policies that require significant management estimates and are deemed critical to our results of operations or financial position are discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 and in Note 2 to the Unaudited Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

As a "smaller reporting company" (as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K), the Company is not required to provide the information required by this item.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures (Item 307)

 

The Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), as of March 31, 2017, the date of the Company's most recently completed fiscal quarter end. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

 

 

 9 

 

 

Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective, as of March 31, 2017, in ensuring that material information that we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms due to limited segregation of duties, lack of independent directors, and no written internal control procedure manual. The Company plans to address the weaknesses in controls as soon as the Company determines that the financial situation allows the Company to expend its currently limited resources to mitigate the weaknesses in controls.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. (Item 308)

 

There were no material changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2017, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
