Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

As of March 31, 2019

1. Nature of Business

Inception Mining, Inc. (formerly known as Gold American Mining Corp.) was incorporated under the name of Golf Alliance Corporation and under the laws of the State of Nevada on July 2, 2007. Inception Mining, Inc. is a precious metal mineral acquisition, exploration and development company. Inception Development, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary, was incorporated under the laws of the State of Idaho on January 28, 2013.

Golf Alliance Corporation pursued its original business plan to provide opportunities for golfers to play on private golf courses normally closed to them due to the membership requirements of the private clubs. During the year ended July 31, 2010, the Company decided to redirect its business focus toward precious metal mineral acquisition and exploration.

On March 5, 2010, the Company amended its articles of incorporation to (1) to change its name to Silver America, Inc. and (2) increased its authorized common stock from 100,000,000 to 500,000,000.

On June 23, 2010 the Company amended its articles of incorporation to change its name to Gold American Mining Corp.

On November 21, 2012, the Company implemented a 200 to 1 reverse stock split. Upon effectiveness of the stock split, each shareholder canceled 200 shares of common stock for every share of common stock owned as of November 21, 2012. This reverse stock split was effective on February 13, 2013. All share and per share references have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this 200 to 1 reverse stock split in the financial statements and in the notes to financial statements for all periods presented, to reflect the stock split as if it occurred on the first day of the first period presented.

On February 25, 2013, Gold American Mining Corp. and its majority shareholder (the “Majority Shareholder”), and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Inception Development Inc. (the “Subsidiary”), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Inception Resources, LLC, a Utah corporation (“Inception Resources”), pursuant to which Inception purchased the U.P. and Burlington Gold Mine in consideration of 16,000,000 shares of common stock of Inception, the assumption of promissory notes in the amount of $950,000 and the assignment of a 3% net royalty. Inception Resources was an entity owned by and under the control of the majority shareholder. This transaction is deemed an asset purchase by entities under common control. The Asset Purchase Agreement closed on February 25, 2013 (the “Closing”). Inception was a “shell company” (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) immediately prior to our acquisition of the gold mine pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement. As a result of such acquisition, the Company’s operations are now focused on the ownership and operation of the mine acquired from Inception Resources. Consequently, the Company believes that acquisition has caused us to cease to be a shell company as it no longer has nominal operations.

On May 17, 2013, the Company amended its articles of incorporation to change its name to Inception Mining, Inc. (“Inception” or the “Company”).

On October 2, 2015, the Company consummated a merger with Clavo Rico Ltd. (“Clavo Rico”). Clavo Rico is a privately held Turks and Caicos company with principal operations in Honduras, Central America. Clavo Rico operates the Clavo Rico mining concession through its subsidiaries Compañía Minera Cerros del Sur, S.A de C.V. and Compañía Minera Clavo Rico, S.A. de C.V. and holds other mining concessions. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company issued of 240,225,901 shares of common stock of Inception and assumed promissory notes in the amount of $5,488,980 and accrued interest of $3,434,426. Under this merger agreement, there was a change in control and it has been treated for accounting purposes as a reverse recapitalization with Clavo Rico, Ltd. being the surviving entity. Its workings include several historical underground operations dating back to the early Mayan and Spanish occupation.

The Company’s primary mine is located on the 200 hectare Clavo Rico Concession, located in southern Honduras. This mine was originally explored and exploited in the 16th century by the Spanish, and more recently has been operated by Compañía Minera Cerros del Sur, S.A. de C.V. as a small family business. In 2003, Clavo Rico’s predecessor purchased a 20% interest and later increased its ownership to 99.9%.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Going Concern - The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $3,786,821 during the period ended March 31, 2019, and had a working capital deficit of $21,659,235 as of March 31, 2019. These factors among others indicate that the Company may be unable to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements.

The Company’s existence is dependent upon management’s ability to develop profitable operations and to obtain additional funding sources. There can be no assurance that the Company’s financing efforts will result in profitable operations or the resolution of the Company’s liquidity problems. The accompanying statements do not include any adjustments that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Management is currently working to make changes that will result in profitable operations and to obtain additional funding sources to meet the Company’s need for cash during the next twelve months and beyond.

Principles of Consolidation - The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Inception Mining, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Inception Development, Corp., Clavo Rico Development Corp., Clavo Rico, Ltd. and Compañía Minera Cerros del Río, S.A. de C.V., and its controlling interest subsidiaries, Compañía Minera Cerros del Sur, S.A. de C.V. and Compañía Minera Clavo Rico, S.A. de C.V. (collectively, the “Company”). All intercompany accounts have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Basis of Presentation - The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had no cash equivalents. The aggregate cash balance on deposit in these accounts is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. The Company has never experienced any losses in such accounts.

Inventories, Stockpiles and Mineralized Material on Leach Pads - Inventories, including stockpiles and mineralized material on leach pads are carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value represents the estimated future sales price of the product based on current and long-term metals prices, less the estimated costs to complete production and bring the product to sale. Write-downs of stockpiles, mineralized material on leach pads and inventories to net realizable value are reported as a component of costs applicable to mining revenue. Cost is comprised of production costs for mineralized material produced and processed. Production costs include the costs of materials, costs of processing, direct labor, mine site and processing facility overhead costs and depreciation, amortization and depletion.

Stockpiles - Stockpiles represent mineralized material that has been extracted from the mine and is available for further processing. Stockpiles are measured by estimating the number of tons added and removed from the stockpile. Stockpile tonnages are verified by periodic surveys. Costs are allocated to stockpiles based on relative values of material stockpiled and processed using current mining costs incurred up to the point of stockpiling the material, including applicable overhead, depreciation, and depletion relating to mining operations, and removed at each stockpile’s average cost per ton.

Mineralized Material on Leach Pads - The Company utilizes a heap leaching process to recover gold from its mineralized material. Under this method, the mineralized material is placed on leach pads where it is treated with a chemical solution that dissolves the gold contained in the material. The resulting gold-bearing solution is further processed in a facility where the gold is recovered. Costs are added to mineralized material on leach pads based on current mining and processing costs, including applicable depreciation relating to mining and processing operations. Costs are transferred from mineralized material on leach pads to subsequent stages of in-process inventories as the gold-bearing solution is processed. The value of such transferred costs of mineralized material on leach pads is based on the average cost per estimated recoverable ounce of gold on the leach pad.

The estimates of recoverable gold on the leach pads are calculated from the quantities of material placed on the leach pads (measured tons added to the leach pads), the grade of material placed on the leach pads (based on assay data) and a recovery percentage.

Although the quantities of recoverable gold placed on the leach pads are reconciled by comparing the quantities and grades of material placed on leach pads to the quantities and grades quantities of gold actually recovered (metallurgical balancing), the nature of the leaching process inherently limits the ability to precisely monitor inventory levels. As a result, the metallurgical balancing process is constantly monitored and estimates are refined based on actual results over time. Variations between actual and estimated quantities resulting from changes in assumptions and estimates that do not result in write-downs to net realizable value are accounted for on a prospective basis.

In-process Inventories - In-process inventories represent mineralized materials that are currently in the process of being converted to a saleable product through the absorption, desorption, recovery (ADR) process. The value of in-process material is measured based on assays of the material fed into the process and the projected recoveries of material. In-process inventories are valued at the average cost of the material fed into the process attributable to the source material coming from the mines, stockpiles and/or leach pads plus the in-process conversion costs, including applicable depreciation relating to the process facilities incurred to that point in the process.

Finished Goods Inventories - Finished goods inventories include gold that has been processed through the Company’s ADR facility and are valued at the average cost of their production.

Exploration and Development Costs - Costs of acquiring mining properties and any exploration and development costs are expensed as incurred unless proven and probable reserves exist and the property is a commercially mineable property in accordance with FASB ASC 930, Extractive Activities- Mining. Mine development costs incurred either to develop new gold and silver deposits, expand the capacity of operating mines, or to develop mine areas substantially in advance of current production are capitalized. Costs incurred to maintain current production or to maintain assets on a standby basis are charged to operations. Costs of abandoned projects are charged to operations upon abandonment. The Company evaluates, at least quarterly, the carrying value of capitalized mining costs and related property, plant and equipment costs, if any, to determine if these costs are in excess of their net realizable value and if a permanent impairment needs to be recorded. The periodic evaluation of carrying value of capitalized costs and any related property, plant and equipment costs are based upon expected future cash flows and/or estimated salvage value.

The Company capitalizes costs for mining properties by individual property and defers such costs for later amortization only if the prospects for economic productions are reasonably certain.

Capitalized costs are expensed in the period when the determination has been made that economic production does not appear reasonably certain.

Mineral Rights and Properties - We defer acquisition costs until we determine the viability of the property. Since we do not have proven and probable reserves as defined by Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Industry Guide 7, exploration expenditures are expensed as incurred. We expense care and maintenance costs as incurred.

We review the carrying value of our mineral rights and properties for impairment whenever there are negative indicators of impairment. Our estimate of the gold price, mineralized materials, operating capital, and reclamation costs are subject to risks and uncertainties affecting the recoverability of our investment in the mineral claims and properties. Although we have made our best, most current estimate of these factors, it is possible that near term changes could adversely affect estimated net cash flows from our mineral claims and properties and possibly require future asset impairment write-downs.

Where estimates of future net operating cash flows are not available and where other conditions suggest impairment, we assess recoverability of carrying value from other means, including net cash flows generated by the sale of the asset. We use the units-of-production method to deplete the mineral rights and properties.

Fair Value Measurements - 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 inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.

To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is disclosed and is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The carrying value of the Company’s cash, accounts payable, short-term borrowings (including convertible notes payable), and other current assets and liabilities approximate fair value because of their short-term maturity.

The Company recognizes its derivative liabilities as level 3 and values its derivatives using the methods discussed below. While the Company believes that its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, it recognizes that the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date. The primary assumptions that would significantly affect the fair values using the methods discussed below are that of volatility and market price of the underlying common stock of the Company.

Long-Lived Assets - We review the carrying amount of our long-lived assets for impairment whenever there are negative indicators of impairment. An asset is considered impaired when estimated future cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset. In the event the carrying amount of such asset is not considered recoverable, the asset is adjusted to its fair value. Fair value is generally determined based on discounted future cash flows.

Properties, Plant and Equipment - We record properties, plant and equipment at historical cost. We provide depreciation and amortization in amounts sufficient to match the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated service lives or productive value. We capitalize expenditures for improvements that significantly extend the useful life of an asset. We charge expenditures for maintenance and repairs to operations when incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives as follows:

Reclamation Liabilities and Asset Retirement Obligations - Minimum standards for site reclamation and closure have been established for us by various government agencies. Asset retirement obligations are recognized when incurred and recorded as liabilities at fair value. The liability is accreted over time through periodic charges to earnings. In addition, the asset retirement cost is capitalized and amortized over the life of the related asset. Reclamation costs are periodically adjusted to reflect changes in the estimated present value resulting from the passage of time and revisions to the estimates of either the timing or amount of the reclamation and abandonment costs. The Company reviews, on an annual basis, unless otherwise deemed necessary, the asset retirement obligation at each mine site.

Revenue Recognition - Effective January 1, 2018 we adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 606-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606-10”). The adoption of ASC 606-10 had no impact on prior year or previously disclosed amounts. In accordance with ASC 606-10, revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer and recognized when we satisfy the performance obligation specified in each contract.

The Company generates revenue by selling gold and silver produced from its mining operations. The majority of the Company’s sales come from the sale of refined gold; however, the end product at the Company’s gold operations is generally doré bars. Doré is an alloy consisting primarily of gold but also containing silver and other metals. Doré is sent to refiners to produce bullion that meets the required market standard of 99.95% gold. Under the terms of the Company’s refining agreements, the doré bars are refined for a fee, and the Company’s share of the refined gold and silver is credited to its bullion account.

The Company recognizes revenue for gold and silver from doré production when it satisfies the performance obligation of transferring gold and silver inventory to the customer, which generally occurs upon transfer of gold and silver bullion credits as this is the point at which the customer obtains the ability to direct the use and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits of ownership of the asset.

The Company generally recognizes the sale of gold bullion credits at the prevailing market price when gold bullion credits are delivered to the customer. The transaction price is determined based on the agreed upon market price and the number of ounces delivered. Payment is due upon delivery of gold bullion credits to the customer’s account.

All accounts receivable amounts are due from a single customer. Substantially all mining revenues recorded in the current period also related to the same customer. As gold can be sold through numerous gold market traders worldwide, the Company is not economically dependent on a limited number of customers for the sale of its product.

Stock Issued For Goods and Services - Common and preferred shares issued for goods and services are valued based upon the fair market value of our common stock or the goods and services received, whichever is the most reliably measurable on the date of issue.

Stock-Based Compensation - For stock-based transactions, compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period, based on the estimated fair value on the grant date of the award.

Income (Loss) per Common Share - Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss), less the preferred stock dividends, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Dilutive income (loss) per share includes any additional dilution from common stock equivalents, such as stock options and warrants, and convertible instruments, if the impact is not antidilutive. 21,750,771 common share equivalents have been excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation for the period ended March 31, 2019 because it would be anti-dilutive.

Comprehensive Loss - Comprehensive loss is made up of the exchange differences arising on translating foreign operations and the net loss for the three months ending March 31, 2019 and the year ended December 31, 2018.

Derivative Liabilities - Derivatives liabilities are recorded at fair value when issued and the subsequent change in fair value each period is recorded in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations. We do not hold or issue any derivative financial instruments for speculative trading purposes.

Income Taxes - The Company’s income tax expense and deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect management’s best assessment of estimated future taxes to be paid. Significant judgments and estimates are required in determining the consolidated income tax expense.

Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between the tax and financial statement recognition of revenue and expense. In evaluating the Company’s ability to recover its deferred tax assets, management considers all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. In projecting future taxable income, the Company develops assumptions including the amount of future state and federal pretax operating income, the reversal of temporary differences, and the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. These assumptions require significant judgment about the forecasts of future taxable income, and are consistent with the plans and estimates that the Company is using to manage the underlying businesses. The Company provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which the Company does not consider realization of such deferred tax assets to be more likely than not.

Changes in tax laws and rates could also affect recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities in the future. Management is not aware of any such changes that would have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

Business Segments – The Company operates in one segment and therefore segment information is not presented.

Use of Estimates – In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenditures during the reported periods. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Estimates may include those pertaining to valuation of inventories and mineralized material on leach pads, the estimated useful lives and valuation of properties, plant and equipment, mineral rights and properties, deferred tax assets, convertible preferred stock, derivative assets and liabilities, reclamation liabilities, stock-based compensation and payments, and contingent liabilities.

Non-Controlling Interest Policy – Non-controlling interest (NCI) is the portion of equity ownership in a subsidiary not attributable to the parent company, who has a controlling interest and consolidates the subsidiary’s financial results with its own. The amount of equity relating to the non-controlling interest is separately identified in the equity section of the balance sheet and the amount of the net income (loss) relating to the non-controlling interest is separately identified on the statement of operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements – From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by FASB that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. If not discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.

In March 2019, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2019-01, Topic 842 – Leases. The Company has adopted this standard and determined that it does not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

3. Joint Venture – Corpus Gold, LLC

On October 1, 2017, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Corpus Mining and Exploration, Ltd. (Corpus) and formed a new entity, Corpus Gold, LLC (Corpus Gold). Corpus Gold is to provide a framework within which the Company will provide management services in directing and managing an exploration, drilling and evaluation of the mineral resources in concessions owned by the Company and Corpus will provide the capital necessary to complete such purpose. All revenues will be shared based on the revenue sharing agreement of 80% to Corpus and 20% to the Company. The Company pays the monthly expenses of Corpus Gold and is reimbursed by Corpus. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had a receivable of $0 for expenses spent in the three months ended March 31, 2019.

4. Inventories, Stockpiles and Mineralized Materials on Leach Pads

Inventories, stockpiles and mineralized materials on leach pads at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 consisted of the following:

There were no stockpiles at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

5. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company adopted the provisions of ASC subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825-10”) on January 1, 2008. ASC 825-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. ASC 825-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

The following table provides a summary of changes in fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

Debt derivatives – The Company issued convertible promissory notes which are convertible into common stock, at holders’ option, at a discount to the market price of the Company’s common stock. The Company has identified the embedded derivatives related to these notes relating to certain anti-dilutive (reset) provisions. These embedded derivatives included certain conversion features. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record fair value of the derivatives as of the inception date of debenture and to fair value as of each subsequent reporting date.

At March 31, 2019, the Company marked to market the fair value of the debt derivatives and determined a fair value of $4,505,045. The Company recorded a loss from change in fair value of debt derivatives of $1,422,798 for the period ended March 31, 2019. The fair value of the embedded derivatives was determined using Binomial Option Pricing Model based on the following assumptions: (1) dividend yield of 0%, (2) expected volatility of 196.96% through 286.36%, (3) weighted average risk-free interest rate of 2.21% through 2.44% (4) expected life of 0.22 through 2.79 years, and (5) the quoted market price of the Company’s common stock at each valuation date.

At December 31, 2018, the Company marked to market the fair value of the debt derivatives and determined a fair value of $2,511,226. The Company recorded a gain from change in fair value of debt derivatives of $953,390 for the year ended December 31, 2018. The fair value of the embedded derivatives was determined using Binomial Option Pricing Model based on the following assumptions: (1) dividend yield of 0%, (2) expected volatility of 203.03% to 306.25%, (3) weighted average risk-free interest rate of 2.45% to 2.63% (4) expected life of 0.27 to 1.59 years, and (5) the quoted market price of the Company’s common stock at each valuation date.

Based upon ASC 840-15-25 (EITF Issue 00-19, paragraph 11) the Company has adopted a sequencing approach regarding the application of ASC 815-40 to its outstanding convertible notes. Pursuant to the sequencing approach, the Company evaluates its contracts based upon earliest issuance date.

Warrant liabilities – During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company issued warrants in conjunction with the issuance of three Crown Bridge Convertible Notes. These warrants contained certain reset provisions. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments required that the Company record fair value of the derivatives as of the inception date (issuance date) and to fair value as of each subsequent reporting date.

At March 31, 2019, the Company had a warrant liability of $108,771. The Company recorded a loss from change in fair value of warrant liability of $72,191 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The fair value of the embedded derivatives was determined using Binomial Option Pricing Model based on the following assumptions: (1) dividend yield of 0%, (2) expected volatility of 216.71% to 223.22%, (3) weighted average risk-free interest rate of 2.21% to 2.23% (4) expected life of 3.37 to 4.58 years, and (5) the quoted market price of the Company’s common stock at each valuation date.

At December 31, 2018, the Company had a warrant liability of $36,580. The Company recorded a gain from change in fair value of warrant liability of $26,171 for the year ended December 31, 2018.

6. Properties, Plant and Equipment, Net

Properties, plant and equipment at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 consisted of the following:

During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized depreciation expense of $54,938 and $57,693, respectively. The following table summarizes the allocation of depreciation expense between cost of goods sold and general and administrative expenses.

7. Mine Reclamation Obligation

The Company is required to mitigate long-term environmental impacts by stabilizing, contouring, re-sloping, and re-vegetating various portions of our site after mining and mineral processing operations are completed. These reclamation efforts are conducted in accordance with plans reviewed and approved by the appropriate regulatory agencies.

The fair value of the long-term liability of $340,533 and $341,845 as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, for our obligation to reclaim our mine facility is based on our most recent reclamation plan, as revised, submitted and approved by the Honduran Institute of Geology and Mines (INHGEOMIN) and Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (SERNA). Such costs are based on management’s current estimate of then expected amounts for the remediation work, assuming the work is performed in accordance with current laws and regulations and using a credit adjusted risk free rate of 18.00% and an inflation rate of 5.3%. It is reasonably possible that, due to uncertainties associated with the application of laws and regulations by regulatory authorities and changes in reclamation or remediation technology, the ultimate cost of reclamation and remediation could change in the future. We periodically review the accrued reclamation obligation for information indicating that our assumptions should change.

Changes to the asset retirement obligation were as follows:

8. Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 consisted of the following:

9. Secured Borrowings

On June 20, 2018, the Company entered into four new financing arrangements with third parties for a combined principal amount of $195,720.

15. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. Except as set forth below, we are currently not aware of any such pending or threatened legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

On January 26, 2017, the Company was served a copy of a complaint filed by Danzig Ltd. (“Danzig”) and Brett Bertolami (“Bertolami”) in the United States District Court for the Western District of North Carolina, Statesville Division. This matter was dismissed for lack of personal jurisdiction in an Order and Judgment dated March 28, 2018.

On June 12, 2017, Danzig Ltd, filed an arbitration in Boston, Massachusetts, with the American Arbitration Association (AAA) against the Company and two if its officers and directors (Trent D’ Ambrosio and Michael Ahlin). Messrs. D’ Ambrosio and Ahlin were dismissed on the ground that they were not proper parties to the Arbitration. A hearing occurred the week of April 9, 2018. On October 24, 2018, a Final Award was issued dismissing all claims asserted by Danzig against Inception and awarding Inception $361,710.74 in fees and costs.

On July 20, 2017, Elliott Foxcroft filed an AAA arbitration in Salt Lake City, Utah, against the Company and two if its officers and directors (Trent D’ Ambrosio and Michael Ahlin). On November 16, 2018, Order No. 7 Dismissing Claims of Claimant [Foxcroft] with Prejudice Under AAA Rule 57, and Granting Motion to Dismiss [Inception’s] Counterclaims without Prejudice was entered. This concluded this arbitration as the claims asserted by Foxcroft against Inception were dismissed with prejudice, and Inception’s claims were dismissed without prejudice.

On August 22, 2017, the Company and two of its officers and directors (Trent D’ Ambrosio and Michael Ahlin) filed a complaint against Danzig Ltd., Elliott Foxcroft, and Brett Bertolami in the United States District Court, District of Utah, Central Division. On November 29, 2018 the United States District Court for the District of Utah entered an order denying Inception’s motion to dismiss Defendants’ Counterclaim but required the Defendants (Danzig, ltd, Bertalomi, and Foxcroft) to file a more definite statement of their claims by December 14, 2018.

One of the Company’s subsidiaries, Compañía Minera Clavo Rico, S.A. de C.V., has been served with notice of a labor dispute brought in Honduras by one of the Company’s former employees. The complaint alleges that the former employee was terminated from his position with the Company’s subsidiary and is entitled to certain statutory compensation. The Company has responded with its assertion that the employee voluntarily resigned and was not involuntarily terminated. The case was heard in Honduras by a labor judge and the Company has appealed the ruling in this case.

16. Concentrations

We generally sell a significant portion of our mineral production to a relatively small number of customers. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, 100 percent of our consolidated product revenues were attributable to A-Mark Precious Metals and to Asahi Refining, Inc., our current and only two customers as of March 31, 2019. We are not dependent upon any one purchaser and have alternative purchasers readily available at competitive market prices if there is a disruption in services or other events that cause us to search for other ways to sell our production.

The Company currently is producing all of its precious metals from one mine located in Honduras. This location has most of the Company’s fixed assets and inventories. It would cause considerable disruption to the Company’s operations and revenue if this mine was disrupted or closed.

We are a mining company that was formed in Nevada on July 2, 2007. As a mining company, we are engaged in the production of precious metals. Our activities are not limited to production and they also include production, acquisition, exploration, and development of mineral properties, primarily for gold, from owned mining properties. Inception Mining has acquired two projects, the UP and Burlington mine and the Clavo Rico mine, as further described below. Our target properties are those that have been the subject of historical exploration. We have generated revenue and are generating revenue from mining operations.

UP and Burlington Gold Mine

On February 25, 2013, the Company acquired certain real property and the associated exploration permits and mineral rights commonly known as the UP and Burlington Gold Mine (“UP and Burlington” or the “Mine”) pursuant to that certain asset purchase agreement entered between the Company, its majority shareholder (the “Majority Shareholder”), and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Inception Development Inc. (the “Subsidiary”) on one hand, and Inception Resources on the other hand, dated February 25, 2013 (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”). Accordingly, the Company owns and controls this property exclusively; there are no third parties who impose conditions of any kind on operations at this location. We are presently in the exploration stage at UP and Burlington. UP and Burlington contain two federal patented mining claims which Inception Resources acquired for the purpose of the exploration and potential development of gold on the 40 acres which comprises UP and Burlington. Production at this mine is subject to a 3% net smelter royalty, which may increase or decrease depending on the amount of gold produced.

Discovered in 1892, UP and Burlington is a private gold property that has been held unused in a family trust for the past 75 years. UP and Burlington is located in Lemhi County, Northwest of Salmon, Idaho, at an elevation of 7,994 feet. The UP and Burlington site is located six miles from the city of Salmon; is 0.6 miles away from the closest major road (Ridge Rd.); and is 1.56 miles away from the closest major power line. We believe Salmon, along with the surrounding County of Lemhi, provides an excellent infrastructure for our mine. Salmon has a population of 3,122 and Lemhi County has a population of 7,806. In September 2011, heavy maintenance and right-of-way repair was completed and a new road to UP and Burlington was constructed.

UP and Burlington’s two gold mining claims were brought to patent in 1900, which covers the Mine’s 40 acres. Subsequently, in 1989, a U.S. Forest Survey was performed on the UP and Burlington site confirming that the patented claims cover an area which is six hundred feet by three thousand feet (600‘x3000’). The Mine’s patented claims remove the challenges associated when working on U.S. Forest lands, Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”), state or other property types. With our purchase of UP and Burlington, we have the benefit of working on private land, which requires only a hauling / road permit to commence significant operations.

The Company has obtained the necessary permitting, cut additional access roads, made surface improvements, and initiated surface mining on a 2,500 foot per day lighted vein for bulk sampling, vein definition and ore valuation. In Phase II, we plan to contract an underground mining and operations plan, expand portal development leveraging existing underground access, and implement underground mining to a depth based on optimizing costs versus processed ore value. There is no guarantee that we will be successful in implementing any stage of our plans.

Our plan includes the continuation of obtaining a Lemhi County Conditional Use Permit and an Idaho Department of Lands Surface Reclamation Bond. Since receiving the permitting for the U.S. Forest Service Access Road, the access road is now complete. In addition, we have contracts such as geotechnical contracts, mining contracts, toll processing contracts, and underground mine plan contracts.

The Company and its independent consultants are in the process of developing a detailed exploration-drilling program to confirm and expand mineralized zones in the Mine and collect additional environmental and technical data. The first phase began in 2013. The Company intends to continue drilling, metallurgical testing, engineering and environmental programs and studies and has updated the historic feasibility study and environmental permit applications.

We also plan to review opportunities and acquire additional mineral properties with current or historic precious and base metal mineralization with meaningful exploration potential.

Clavo Rico Mine

On October 2, 2015, the Company consummated a merger with Clavo Rico Ltd. (“Clavo Rico”). Clavo Rico is a privately held Turks and Caicos company with principal operations in Honduras, Central America. Clavo Rico operates the Clavo Rico mining concession through its subsidiaries Compañía Minera Cerros del Sur, S.A de C.V. and Compañía Minera Clavo Rico, S.A. de C.V. and holds other mining concessions. Its workings include several historical underground mining operations dating back to the early Mayan and Spanish occupation.

The Company’s primary mine is located on the 200-hectare Clavo Rico Concession, located in southern Honduras. This mine was originally explored and exploited in the 16th century by the Spanish, and more recently has been operated by Compañía Minera Cerros del Sur, S. de R.L. as a small family business. In 2003, Clavo Rico’s predecessor purchased a 20% interest and later increased its ownership to 99.9%. This company has since invested over five million dollars in the expansion and development of the mine and surrounding properties. Today, the Company operates this mine through exploration of surface-level material.

Mining operations begin by crushing extracted material to approximately 3/8-inch size pebbles, which is then mixed with additional material and loaded on the recovery pad for processing. The pebble material is sprinkled with a solution that leaches the gold from the rock, and the solution is collected and processed on-site at Clavo Rico’s own ADR plant. The doré bars that result from this process are shipped to the USA for refining.

Prior to the expansion, the mine had only been processing approximately less than 500 tons of extracted material per day. The current recovery operational increase has been sized to handle from 500 to 750 tons of extracted material per day on a recovery bed that has the capacity to receive up to 750,000 tons of material. The Company commenced full operations on January 1, 2012 and believes that sufficiently high gold content ore bodies have been located and blocked out to load the leach pad to capacity by the end of June 30, 2020.

The Company has engaged in preliminary drilling of this area and the resulting assays of samples indicate that the material should have grades in the range of 0-5 grams of gold per ton.

Results of Operations

Three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the Three months ended March 31, 2018

We incurred a net loss of $3,786,821 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019, and a net loss of $1,485,706 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2018. This change in our results over the two periods is primarily the result of the change in derivative liabilities. The following table summarizes key items of comparison and their related increase (decrease) for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018:

Revenues decreased because of the crusher problems that the mine has been working on fixing since the end of 2018. Crushing production has been using a backup crusher so the mine is currently not putting as much material on the leach pad as capacity allows.

Cost of sales decreased because the write-down of the inventory in process during 2018.

General and administrative expenses increased for the following reasons: Legal fees decreased by $48,640. Accounting and auditor fees increased by $75,340. Sales tax and income tax in Honduras increased by $80,527. Consulting expense decreased by $140,051, of which stock based compensation decreased by $99,138. Salaries and wages expense increased by $112,996. And finally, investor relations expense increased by $54,598.

Changes in derivative liabilities increased because of the valuation of these derivatives and the relation to the Company’s stock price increasing.

Interest expense increased because of the number of convertible notes that have been paid off during the prepayment penalty periods to avoid conversion of these notes by the Company.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our balance sheet as of March 31, 2019 reflects assets of $1,238,477. We had cash in the amount of $40,939 and working capital deficit in the amount of $21,659,235 as of March 31, 2019. Thus, we do not have sufficient working capital to enable us to carry out our stated plan of operation for the next twelve months.

Working Capital

We anticipate generating losses and, therefore, may be unable to continue operations in the future, if we don’t acquire additional capital and issue debt or equity or enter into a strategic arrangement with a third party.

Going Concern Consideration

As reflected in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company and has an accumulated deficit of $25,795,942. In addition, there is a working capital deficit of $21,659,235 as of March 31, 2019. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Operating Activities

Net cash flow used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $218,074, a decrease of $503,165 from the $285,091 net cash provided during the three months ended March 31, 2018. This decrease in the cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to lower precious metal sales and increased interest expense paid out in cash.

Investing Activities

Investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2019 used $104,459, an increase of $97,988 from the $6,471 used by activities during the three months ended March 31, 2018. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company purchased $104,459 in fixed assets.

Financing Activities

Financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2019 provided $312,646, an increase of $551,867 from the $239,221 used in financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2018. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company received $450,000 in proceeds from notes payable - related parties, $635,500 in proceeds from convertible notes payable and $48,750 in proceeds from the sale of common stock. The Company made $453,260 in payments on notes payable – related parties and $385,894 in payments on convertible notes payable.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles used in the United States. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies. We believe that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of our financial statements is critical to an understanding of our financials.

Costs of acquiring mining properties and any exploration and development costs are expensed as incurred unless proven and probable reserves exist and the property is a commercially mineable property. Mine development costs incurred either to develop new gold and silver deposits, expand the capacity of operating mines, or to develop mine areas substantially in advance of current production are capitalized. Costs incurred to maintain current production or to maintain assets on a standby basis are charged to operations. Costs of abandoned projects are charged to operations upon abandonment. The Company evaluates, at least quarterly, the carrying value of capitalized mining costs and related property, plant and equipment costs, if any, to determine if these costs are in excess of their net realizable value and if a permanent impairment needs to be recorded. The periodic evaluation of carrying value of capitalized costs and any related property, plant and equipment costs are based upon expected future cash flows and/or estimated salvage value.

The Company capitalizes costs for mining properties by individual property and defers such costs for later amortization only if the prospects for economic productions are reasonably certain. Capitalized costs are expensed in the period when the determination has been made that economic production does not appear reasonably certain.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

For recent accounting pronouncements, please refer to the notes to financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to include disclosure under this item.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or 1934 Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to ensure that such information 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. We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer (principal financial officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13(a)-15(e) under the 1934 Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, because of the Company’s limited resources and limited number of employees, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2019.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurances regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the financial statements of the Company in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

With the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2019 based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on our evaluation and the material weaknesses described below, management concluded that the Company’s internal controls were not effective based on financial reporting as of December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2019 based on the COSO framework criteria. Management has identified control deficiencies regarding the lack of segregation of duties, tax compliance issues and the need for a stronger internal control environment. Management of the Company believes that these material weaknesses are due to the small size of the Company’s accounting staff and reliance on outside consultants for external reporting. The small size of the Company’s accounting staff may prevent adequate controls in the future, such as segregation of duties, due to the cost/benefit of such remediation.

To mitigate the current limited resources and limited employees, we rely heavily on direct management oversight of transactions, along with the use of legal and outside accounting consultants. As we grow, we expect to increase our number of employees, which will enable us to implement adequate segregation of duties within the internal control framework.

These control deficiencies could result in a misstatement of account balances that would result in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement to our consolidated financial statements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Accordingly, we have determined that these control deficiencies as described above together constitute a material weakness.

In light of this material weakness, we performed additional analyses and procedures in order to conclude that our consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q were fairly stated in accordance with US GAAP. Accordingly, management believes that despite our material weaknesses, our consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 are fairly stated, in all material respects, in accordance with US GAAP.

This Quarterly Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include, but are not limited to, the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. Except as set forth below, we are currently not aware of any such pending or threatened legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

One of the Company’s subsidiaries, Compañía Minera Clavo Rico, S.A. de C.V., has been served with notice of a labor dispute brought in Honduras by one of the Company’s former employees. The complaint alleges that the former employee was terminated from his position with the Company’s subsidiary and is entitled to certain statutory compensation. The Company has responded with its assertion that the employee voluntarily resigned and was not involuntarily terminated. The case was heard in Honduras by a labor judge and the Company has appealed the ruling in this case.
