NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on substantially the same basis as the audited financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules and regulations regarding interim financial statements. All amounts included herein related to the financial statements as of September 30, 2017 and the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes there to included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements include all necessary adjustments for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for any subsequent interim period or for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2017.

U.S. Rare Earth Minerals, Inc. was incorporated in the state of Nevada on September 9, 2008.

As used in these Notes to the Financial Statements, the terms the "Company", "we", "us", "our" and similar terms refer to U. S. Rare Earth Minerals, Inc.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. To date, the Company has generated minimal revenue and has a working capital deficiency of $356,485 as of September 30, 2017. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These 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. We will need to raise funds or implement our business plan to continue operations.

In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses by seeking equity and/or debt financing. However management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon among other things; its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually begin operations in accordance with its business plan. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standard setting bodies that may have an impact on the Company’s accounting and reporting. The Company believes that such recently issued accounting pronouncements and other authoritative guidance for which the effective date is in the future will not have an impact on its accounting or reporting or that such impact will not be material to its financial position, results of operations and cash flows when implemented.

Note 2. Capital Stock  

The Company is authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of its $0.001 par value preferred stock and 300,000,000 shares of its $0.001 par value common shares.

The preferred stock ranks senior to the common stock of the Company in each case with respect to dividend distribution and distributions of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company whether voluntary or involuntary.

These shares are issued as Class “A” 6% Cumulative, Convertible Voting Preferred Stock. Each share is valued at $1.00 per share for purposes of calculating interest and for conversion purposes and accrues interest at 6% per annum from the date of issue. Interest is cumulative for a maximum of two years and compounds annually. Interest accrued thereon shall become due and payable and shall be paid by the Company on or prior to thirty (30) days after the second anniversary of issue date and each consecutive two year period thereafter.

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, a total of $110,330 and $86,610 has not been declared by the Company, respectively. 

Each share is convertible at any time from date of issue into five (5) shares of Company common stock. Each share shall be entitled to five (5) votes that may be cast by the holder at any shareholder meeting or event requiring a shareholder vote. All interest accrued to date of conversion will be paid by Company to holder within sixty (60) days of date of conversion by holder. These shares are callable by the Company at any time after three (3) years from date of issue at $1.00 plus accrued but unpaid interest unless previously converted.

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, there were 440,500 and 440,500 shares of Class “A” 6% Cumulative, Convertible Voting Preferred Stock issued and outstanding, respectively.

On April 25, 2017, the Company issued 8,100,000 shares of common stock to 3 directors and various consultants for past services rendered. The fair value of these shares is $0.02 per share based on the stock price; thus $162,000 was recognized as stock based compensation. Also, on that date, the Company issued 3,000,000 shares of S-8 shares to two consultants. The fair market value of these shares is $0.02 per share based on the stock price; thus $60,000 was recognized as stock based compensation.

No communication has been received from the Army Corps of Engineers since May 2014.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND PLAN OF OPERATION

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited financial statements and the notes thereto.

Forward-Looking Statements

This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements and information relating to us that are based on the beliefs of our management as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, our management. When used in this report, the words "believe," "anticipate," "expect," "estimate," “intend”, “plan” and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our management, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements reflect management's current view of us concerning future events and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including among many others: a general economic downturn; a downturn in the securities markets; federal or state laws or regulations having an adverse effect on proposed transactions that we desire to effect; Securities and Exchange Commission regulations which affect trading in the securities of "penny stocks," and other risks and uncertainties. Should any of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in this report as anticipated, estimated or expected. All forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statement.

Overview

U.S. Rare Earth Minerals, Inc. (the “Company”), primary focus is on sales and distribution of certain products derived from the natural mineral deposits commonly known as Calcium Montmorillonite. These activities will be carried out through a web-based and distributor-based sales program directed at agricultural, animal and human uses of the products.

To the extent that the company requires additional capital for operations that it cannot derive from profits from sales, the Company plans to sell additional shares of unregistered preferred stock to raise money for additional operating capital. There is no guarantee the Company will be successful in selling additional shares to raise funds for additional operating capital, or if successful, it will raise the desired amount or be on terms and conditions which are beneficial to the Company.

Plan of Operation

The Company markets and sells the product under the name “EXCELERITE®”. The Company believes that EXCELERITE® has broad applications for plants, animals and humans. Specifically, the Company believes that by adding EXCELERITE® back into the soil, household and commercial farmers are replacing what has been lost by the use of man-made fertilizers over hundreds of years. Farmers using EXCELERITE® are seeing higher yields and larger and more nutritious crops. In addition, studies suggest that animals whose feed is supplemented with EXCELERITE® grow healthier and produce more. The naturally chelated nutrients and minerals in EXCELERITE® may enhance the production of enzymes. Without enzymes living things cannot build protein and other vital processes. “Micro-Excelerite ™”, a supplement form of EXCELERITE® is believed to rejuvenate the health of the human body in many ways. In addition to its natural supply of 78 essential nutrients and minerals, its ionic charge removes toxins as it works through the digestive tract.

The Company is marketing its products through various channels including but not limited to direct distribution, sales through third-party distributors and sales through the Company’s website. The Company has also undertaken to develop a network of distributors, both in the United States and internationally. The Company’s directors have been marketing the product to agricultural customers in Oregon, throughout the United States and internationally as well.

The Company has been engaged in various testing programs with several major agriculture firms for the past two years. Two of these firms are listed NYSE companies and do business worldwide. Results of these test on strawberries, carrots, peaches, soy beans, sweet potatoes and grapes have been very positive. EXCELERITE® has also been tested and proved to eliminate the odor from pig and cow manure which should lead to large orders from cattle farmers worldwide. The product is also being tested by poultry farmers.

Management believes that by partnering with these certain firms, long-term business relationships will develop, deriving substantial future product sales. The Company is bound by certain “Non-Disclosure Agreements” and therefore cannot divulge the names of partnering companies. Announcements of the Company’s test results and identity of its partners will be forthcoming when certain test results are completed and the parties agree on the content of the disclosure.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following table shows the financial data of the statements of operations of the Company for the three and six months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPT 30, 2017 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPT 30, 2016.

The variance in the operating loss was primarily due to no shares issued for services  in third quarter 2017 for  a  decrease of operating expenses of $245,724 when comparing the three month period ended September 30, 2017 to the same period last year.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPT 30, 2017 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPT 30, 2016. 

The variance in the operating income  was primarily due to a decrease of revenue of $29,408 due to adverse weather conditions in the first quarter 2017  and less stock was issued for compensation for operating expenses. . 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The variance in accounts payable and accrued expenses is primarily due to the decrease in revenue and an increase of cash on hand.  

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. To date, the Company has added Directors. We are proceeding to the production of the EXCELERITE^® retail products, including a new website with e-commerce capability. We will need to raise funds to implement our business plan and continue operations.

We believe that the level of financial resources is a significant factor for our future development, and accordingly we may choose at any time to raise capital through private debt or equity financing to strengthen its financial position, facilitate growth and provide us with additional flexibility to take advantage of business opportunities. While we are presently considering a limited private offering of our securities, we do not have immediate plans to have a public offering of our common stock and there is no guarantee that any such offering would be successful or be completed on terms that are beneficial to the Company. 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

In presenting our financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported therein. Several of the estimates and assumptions we are required to make relate to matters that are inherently uncertain as they pertain to future events. However, events that are outside of our control cannot be predicted and, as such, they cannot be contemplated in evaluating such estimates and assumptions. If there is a significant unfavorable change to current conditions, it could result in a material adverse impact to our results of operations, financial position and liquidity. We believe that the estimates and assumptions we used when preparing our financial statements were the most appropriate at that time. Presented below are those accounting policies that we believe require subjective and complex judgments that could potentially affect reported results. However, the majority of our businesses operate in environments where we pay a fee for a service performed, and therefore the results of the majority of our recurring operations are recorded in our financial statements using accounting policies that are not particularly subjective, nor complex.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from the sale of product obtained from our mining contractor is recognized when ownership passes to the purchaser at which time the following conditions are met:

i) persuasive evidence that an agreement exists;

ii) the risks and rewards of ownership pass to the purchaser including delivery of the product;

iii) the selling price is fixed and determinable; or,

iv) collectively is reasonably assured.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company has share-based compensation plans under which non-employees, consultants and suppliers may be granted restricted stock, as well as options to purchase shares of Company common stock at the fair market value at the time of grant. Stock-based compensation cost is measured by the Company at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award over the requisite service period. For options issued to employees, the Company recognizes stock compensation costs utilizing the fair value methodology over the related period of benefit. Grants of stock options and stock to non-employees and other parties are accounted for in accordance with ASC 505.

The Company applies ASC 718 for options, common stock and other equity-based grants to its employees and directors. ASC 718 requires measurement of all employee equity-based payment awards using a fair-value method and recording of such expense in the consolidated financial statements over the requisite service period.  The fair value concepts have not changed significantly in ASC 718; however, in adopting this standard, companies must choose among alternative valuation models and amortization assumptions.  After assessing alternative valuation models and amortization assumptions, the Company will continue using both the Black-Scholes valuation model and straight-line amortization of compensation expense over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the grant.  

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have 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 that is material to investors.
