PART III - NARRATIVE
Gold Resources Corporation (the “Company”) was unable, without unreasonable effort or expense, to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2024 (the “Annual Report”) by the March 31, 2025 deadline for non-accelerated filers.
As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 20, 2025 (the “Restatement 8-K”), during the preparation of the Annual Report, management of the Company identified that certain liabilities were incorrectly presented in the Company’s financial statements due to errors in the application of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. As a result of the foregoing, the Company requires additional time to complete the restatement of the following financial statements, including related disclosure, for its Annual Report: (i) its interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods ended March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023, September 30, 2023, March 31, 2024, June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2024 and (ii) its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.
The Company expects that the Annual Report will be filed as soon as practicable and prior to the fifteenth calendar day following the March 31, 2025 deadline.

If answer is no, identify report(s).
Yes ☒ No ☐
(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?
Yes ☒ No ☐
If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.
As of December 31, 2023, the estimated impact of the restatements of the Company’s consolidated balance sheet is expected to increase the Company’s gold and silver stream agreements liability (the “streaming liability”) by approximately $16 million and increase the accumulated deficit by $16 million. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the restatement is expected to impact the Company’s consolidated statement of operation by increasing other expense, net by approximately $9 million. These restatements do not affect the Company’s previously reported cash and cash equivalents balances.
The above-mentioned restatements are due to errors in the application of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles related to the streaming liabilities and in the calculation of interest and repayments in the Company’s model of the streaming liabilities. The models used to calculate the streaming liabilities were developed during the acquisition of Aquila Resources Inc. and have been used until the present. It was determined that the streaming liabilities should be accounted for under the financial accounting standards board’s accounting standards codification 606, Revenue Recognition, and that a significant financing component is present that should be accreted using the effective interest method. The resulting errors understated the streaming liabilities and net loss for all the impacted periods noted below. The Company expects to disclose in its Annual Report the restated unaudited financials for such periods as follows:
● | The Company’s interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023 that were included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2024: The estimated impact of the restatements of the Company’s consolidated balance sheet is expected to increase the streaming liability as of March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023 by approximately $18 million and $10 million, respectively, and increase the accumulated deficit by $18 million and $10 million. The restatement is also expected to impact the Company’s consolidated statement of operation for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, by increasing other expense, net by approximately $1 million and $2 million, respectively. |
● | The Company’s interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023 that were included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the six months ended June 30, 2024: The estimated impact of the restatements of the Company’s consolidated balance sheet is expected to increase the streaming liability as of June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023 by approximately $17 million and $12 million, respectively, and increase the accumulated deficit by $17 million and $12 million. The restatement is also expected to impact the Company’s consolidated statement of operation for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, by increasing other expense, net by $1 million and $4 million, respectively. |
● | The Company’s interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 that were included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2024: The estimated impact of the restatements of the Company’s consolidated balance sheet is expected to increase the streaming liability as of September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 by $20 million and $14 million, respectively, and increase the accumulated deficit by $20 million and $14 million. The restatement is also expected to impact the Company’s consolidated statement of operation for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, by increasing other expense, net by $3 million and $6 million, respectively. |
In the restated presentation, the Company expects to also record previously uncorrected misstatements that have been previously determined to be immaterial to the financial statements in the prior periods. The Company expects to report material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024.
