PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Results of Operations.
Earnings and Cash Flows from Operating Activities. For the fiscal
year
ending June 30, 2000, Gold Hill Corporation ("the Company") realized a
net loss which is detailed in the financial section of this report.
The
decrease in earnings and cash flows reported for the period was due,
primarily to oil well drilling and lease costs.
Summary of Business: 1999-2000.
Nevada Gold. As stated in our previous reports, Gold Hill abandoned
all
of its mining claims and leases in the Elko, Nevada area due to failure
to discover economic amounts of gold to the depths drilled, which were
up to 1,800 feet in some holes.
Plans are presently being made to conduct extensive geological and
geophysical reconnaissance studies in northern Nevada for gold deposits
in the general area of the existing gold trends, such as the Carlin and
Battle Mountain trends. Field geological and geophysical studies will
be carried out during early summer and hopefully followed up with an
aggressive claim staking and drilling program. From our studies to
date, we believe there are many large gold deposits remaining to be
discovered in that area, even whole new trends. The Carlin gold trend
is the most famous with several individual deposits containing in
excess
of 30 million ounces. Although the current price of gold is around
$275
per ounce, we believe this price has a great deal of upside potential,
and that this is a good time to pursue gold exploration, particularly
in
Nevada, while exploration activity is at a low.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
Oil and Gas Properties. During the year, Gold Hill participated with
Oil Creek Production to the extent of a 25% working interest in the
acquisition of oil and gas leases covering over 1,000 acres on a
wildcat
prospect located just north of Paden in east-central Oklahoma. The
objective targets were lower Pennsylvanian sands, Hunton lime, and
Wilcox sands of Ordovician age.
During January of this current year (2000), Oil Creek Production
drilled a hole to a depth of approximately 4,600 feet reaching the
Second Wilcox sand. The well was not successful with only slight shows
of gas in the Pennsylvanian sands and a non-commercial show of oil and
gas in the Hunton Lime. Upon geological review of the drilling
results,
it is the belief of management that the well was drilled on the down
side of a nearby fault.
After extensive geological studies, the recommendation was made not to
drill another test on the acreage block. The only zone having any
merit
was probably limited to the Hunton lime which nearly always produces a
great deal of water in this region of Oklahoma where the prospect was
located. The cost of drilling salt water disposal well would be
prohibitively expensive, considering the limited economic potential.
The acreage block has been sold to a local exploration company
interested in dewatering the Hunton. Thus, Gold Hill was able to
salvage a small portion of its investment in the prospect.
The Company is currently participating in the search for other oil and
gas prospects in eastern Oklahoma. Several prospects have been
identified and leasing is currently in progress through Oil Creek
Production. Hopefully, a test well will be drilled during the latter
part of the year. The minimum potential of any wildcat prospect must
be
at least one million barrels of oil in order to meet Gold Hill's
evaluation criteria.
ITEM 3. OPERATIONS
General Operations. Gold Hill will continue its conservative policy
of
avoiding debt and maintaining very low overhead costs. No salaries
will
be paid or allowed to accrue at this time, nor will Gold Hill be
charged
for the use of office space currently provided by its principals.
Private Placement. Gold Hill is continuing to make a private
placement
of its common stock in order to finance a portion of the costs of the
projects described above.
Competition and Risks. The U.S. oil and gas industry has suffered an
economic decline that has resulted in reduced activity and widespread
business failures. The business environment is very competitive, and
there are a number of significant risks associated with oil and gas
exploration and production, including operational as well as
exploration.
Gold Hill Corporation intends to seek high-risk, high-potential
prospects as well as lower-risk, lower-potential development ones.
However, the major effort will be towards wildcat prospects with
potential of 1,000,000 bbls or greater.
Regulation. The domestic exploration for mineral, including oil and
gas, reserves is subject to various state and federal environmental
laws, rules, and regulations.
Operators in the industry are subject to the Clean Water Act and
damages which could arise out of environmental pollution.
Corporate History. Gold Hill Corporation is an exploration company
focused on large wildcat major oil, gas, and gold prospects, which if
successful will significantly impact upon the value of the Company's
stock. In addition to the Nevada Gold prospect, Gold Hill is active in
oil and gas exploration.
Although Gold Hill is a public company, it is considered to be a
startup company and its stock does not presently trade. Management's
policy is to withhold stock trading until an important discovery is
made.
Gold Hill's management is comprised of experienced and successful
explorationists who are qualified to carry forth the goals and
aspirations of the company. The primary goal of the company is to
discover a major deposit while avoiding debt. At the same time, the
company is focusing on retaining a large interest in each prospect so
that a discovery will have a dramatic impact on stock value to the
benefit of the shareholders.
Gold Hill's executive and operations offices are located in Oklahoma
at
2233 West Lindsey, Suite 117, Norman, Oklahoma 73069 (telephone
405-329-0930). Unless the context otherwise requires, the term "Gold
Hill" as used herein refers to Gold Hill Corporation.

PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED
STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
Markets for Common Stock. The market for Gold Hill's Common Stock is
inactive at the present time, but the Company will be seeking an
Over-the-Counter or lesser market depending upon its asset growth. Or,
Gold Hill may seek an industry buyer or merger.
Private Placement. The company is seeking to place 450,000 shares of
its restricted common stock at $1.00 per share. These units may only
be
offered and sold to those who meet the suitability standards for
investment as expressed in an offering circular that accompanies the
private placement memorandum. During the past fiscal year, the company

At June 30, 2000, 4,809,322 shares of common stock were outstanding.
ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
Not applicable.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Gold Hill can be considered a start-up company, and management plans
to
obtain operating capital through joint ventures, geological consulting
services, and private placements of restricted stock. The proceeds of
private placements will be used to fund the acquisition of favorable
oil
and gas prospects and testing of its Nevada gold prospects.
Private Placement. Further efforts will continue to make a private
placement of restricted stock at $1.00 per share. The shares are
restricted, and the price is $1.00 per share.
The company plans to maintain a minimum price for the private
placement
restricted stock at $1.00 per share for an additional six months, and
that the effort would be extended for that time. In the event of
drilling successes, Gold Hill may continue to market restricted stock
in
a private placement at a higher price per share, depending upon market
conditions. In line with its conservative policies, the management of
Gold Hill will not market more stock than its immediate capital needs
in
order to keep the number of shares outstanding at a minimum.
Oil and Gas Leases. Gold Hill is looking at additional oil and gas
prospects to lease in the forthcoming year.
Salaries and Operations Overhead. It was agreed that Gold Hill will
continue its policy of paying no salaries to its officers and
directors,
and that it will continue to use the offices of its directors
rent-free.
Stock Options. It was agreed that no stock options will be offered at
this time.
