DYNARESOURCE, INC.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2013 (Unaudited) and December 31, 2012 (Audited)
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF ACTIVITIES AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Activities, History and Organization:
DynaResource, Inc. (The “Company”, “DynaResource”, or “DynaUSA”) was organized September 28, 1937, as a California corporation under the name of West Coast Mines, Inc. In 1998, the Company re-domiciled to Delaware and changed its name to DynaResource, Inc. The Company is in the business of acquiring, investing in, and developing precious metal properties, and the production of precious metals.
In 2000, the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary, DynaResource de Mexico S.A. de C.V., chartered in Mexico (“DynaMexico”). This Company was formed to acquire, invest in and develop resource properties in Mexico. In 2005, the Company formed DynaResource Operaciones de San Jose De Gracia S.A. de C.V. (“DynaOperaciones”), and acquired effective control of Mineras de DynaResource, S.A de C.V. (formerly Minera Finesterre S.A. De C.V., “MinerasDyna”). The Company owned 25% of MinerasDyna and acquired effective control of MinerasDyna by acquiring the option to purchase the remaining 75% of the Shares of MinerasDyna. The Company exercised the option and finalized the acquisition of MinerasDyna in January 2010, and now owns 100% of MinerasDyna. The results of DynaMexico, DynaOperaciones and MinerasDyna are consolidated with those of the Company.
In January 2008, DynaMexico issued 15% of its outstanding common shares to Goldgroup Resources Inc., a subsidiary of Goldgroup Mining Inc., Vancouver, BC. (“Goldgroup”), in exchange for $3,000,000 USD cash contributed for exploration expenditures at the San Jose de Gracia property (“SJG”). In August 2008, DynaMexico issued an additional 10% of its outstanding common shares to Goldgroup in exchange for additional $3,000,000 USD cash for exploration expenditures, and in March 2011, DynaMexico issued an additional 25% of its outstanding common shares to Goldgroup in exchange for additional $12,000,000 USD cash for exploration expenditures (See Note 6 below). At March 2011, Goldgroup had contributed $18,000,000 USD in aggregate to DynaMexico, and it owned 50% of the outstanding common shares of DynaMexico.
On June 21, 2013, DynaMexico issued 300 Series B Variable Capital Shares in exchange for the settlement of accounts payable to DynaResource in the amount of $2,392,802 USD ($31,090,710 Mexican Pesos). After the issuance and receipt of the 300 Series B Shares, DynaUSA holds 80% of the total outstanding Capital of DynaMexico.
The Company produced approximately $7,637,150 in revenues from production activities conducted during the years ended December 31, 2003 through 2006, and suspended this activity voluntarily to concentrate its efforts on exploration and development. In accordance with that decision, as of January 1, 2007, the Company reentered the Exploration Stage and has presented its cumulative results since reentering the Exploration Stage, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 915 “Development Stage Entities”, and will continue this presentation until it again has revenues from operations.
The Company chose to become a voluntary reporting issuer in Canada in order to avail itself of Canadian regulations regarding reporting for mining properties, more specifically, National Instrument 43-101 (NI 43-101). This regulation sets forth standards for reporting resources in a mineral property and is a standard recognized in the mining industry.
Unaudited Interim Financial Statements:
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These financial statements are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the balance sheet, statement of operations, statement of stockholders’ equity and statement of cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. It is presumed that users of this interim financial information have read or have access to the audited financial statements and footnote disclosure for the preceding fiscal year contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year or any other interim period. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis and Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s December 31, 2012 Form 10-K.

Emerging Growth Company Critical Accounting Policy Disclosure:
The Company qualifies as an “emerging growth company” under the 2012 JOBS Act. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. As an emerging grown company, the Company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. The Company may elect to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period in the future.
Significant Accounting Policies:
The Company’s management selects accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and adopts methods for their application. The application of accounting principles requires the estimating, matching and timing of revenue and expense. The accounting policies used conform to generally accepted accounting principles which have been consistently applied in the preparation of these financial statements.
The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. Management further acknowledges that it is solely responsible for adopting sound accounting practices, establishing and maintaining a system of internal accounting control and preventing and detecting fraud. The Company's system of internal accounting control is designed to assure, among other items, that 1) recorded transactions are valid; 2) valid transactions are recorded; and 3) transactions are recorded in the proper period in a timely manner to produce financial statements which present fairly the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the respective periods presented.
Basis of Presentation:
The Company prepares its financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Principles of Consolidation:
The financial statements include the accounts of DynaResource, Inc. as well as DynaResource de Mexico, S.A. de C.V., DynaResource Operaciones S.A. de C.V. and Mineras de DynaResource S.A. de C.V. All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated. All amounts are presented in U.S. Dollars unless otherwise stated.
Foreign Currency Translation:
The functional currency for the subsidiaries of the Company is the Mexican peso. As a result, the financial statements of the subsidiaries have been re-measured from Mexican pesos into U.S. dollars using (i) current exchange rates for monetary asset and liability accounts, (ii) historical exchange rates for nonmonetary asset and liability accounts, (iii) historical exchange rates for revenues and expenses associated with nonmonetary assets and liabilities and (iv) the weighted average exchange rate of the reporting period for all other revenues and expenses. In addition, foreign currency transaction gains and losses resulting from U.S. dollar denominated transactions are eliminated. The resulting re-measured gain or loss is reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity (comprehensive income (loss)).
The financial statements of the subsidiaries should not be construed as representations that Mexican pesos have been, could have been or may in the future be converted into U.S. dollars at such rates or any other rates.
Relevant exchange rates used in the preparation of the financial statements for the subsidiaries are as follows for the periods ended June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 (Mexican pesos per one U.S. dollar):
8 |
June 30, 2013
| ||
Current exchange rate: | Pesos | 12.93 |
Weighted average exchange rate for the period ended: | Pesos | 12.55 |
December 31, 2012
| ||
Current exchange rate: | Pesos | 13.02 |
Weighted average exchange rate for the year ended: | Pesos | 13.16 |
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At times, cash balances may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. At June 30, 2013, the Company had a balance of $1,068,947 that was in excess of the FDIC insurance limit of $250,000. The carrying amount approximates fair market value.
Accounts Receivable and Allowances for Doubtful Accounts:
The allowance for accounts receivable is recorded when receivables are considered to be doubtful of collection. No allowance has been established as all receivables were deemed to be fully collectable.
Foreign Tax Receivable:
Foreign Tax Receivable (IVA) is comprised of recoverable value-added taxes charged by the Mexican government on goods and services rendered. Under certain circumstances, these taxes are recoverable by filing a tax return. Amounts paid for IVA are tracked and held as receivables until the funds are remitted. The total amounts of the IVA receivable as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 are $93,318 and $40,022, respectively.
Inventory:
There is no inventory as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
Fixed Assets:
Fixed assets are carried at cost. Depreciation is provided over each asset’s estimated useful life. Upon retirement and disposal, the asset cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the determination of the net income. Expenditures for geological and engineering studies, maintenance and claim renewals are charged to expense when incurred. Additions and significant improvements are capitalized and depreciated.
Mining Properties:
The Company is an ‘Exploration Stage’ company as defined in “SEC Industry Guide 7”. Mining properties consist of 33 mining concessions covering approximately 69,121 hectares, at the San Jose de Gracia property, the basis of which are deferred until the properties are brought into production, at which time they will be amortized on the unit of production method based on estimated recoverable reserves. The Company has elected to expense a minimal amount of amortization due to the effects of exploration activities on the recoverable reserves. If it is determined that the deferred costs related to a property are not recoverable over its productive life, those costs will be written down to fair value as a charge to operations in the period in which the determination is made. The amounts at which mineral properties and the related deferred costs are recorded do not necessarily reflect present or future values.
The recoverability of the book value of each property will be assessed annually for indicators of impairment such as adverse changes to any of the following:
• | estimated recoverable ounces of gold, silver or other precious minerals; |
• | estimated future commodity prices; |
9 |
• | estimated expected future operating costs, capital expenditures and reclamation expenditures. |
A write-down to fair value will be recorded when the expected future cash flow is less than the net book value of the property or when events or changes in the property indicate that carrying amounts are not recoverable. This analysis will be completed as needed, and at least annually. As of the date of this filing, no events have occurred that would require write-down of any assets. As of June 30, 2013, no indications of impairment existed.
Exploration Costs:
Exploration costs not directly associated with proven reserves on the mining concessions are charged to operations as incurred. Exploration, development, direct field costs and administrative costs are expensed in the period incurred.
The carrying amounts of the mining concessions are reviewed at each calendar year end to determine whether there is any indication of impairment or at other times if indications of impairment exist.
As of June 30, 2013, no indications of impairment existed.
Advertising Costs:
The Company incurred no advertising costs for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.
Income Taxes:
Income is taxed at regular corporate rates per the Internal Revenue Code. Although the Company has tax loss carry-forwards (see Note 5), there is uncertainty as to utilization prior to their expiration. Accordingly, the future income tax asset amounts have been fully offset by a valuation allowance.
Use of Estimates:
In order to prepare financial statement in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, management must make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and determines whether contingent assets and liabilities, if any, are disclosed in the financial statements. The ultimate resolution of issues requiring these estimates and assumptions could differ significantly from resolution currently anticipated by management and on which the financial statements are based.
Comprehensive Income:
ASC 220 “Comprehensive Income” establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general purpose financial statements. The Company’s comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income (loss), consisting of unrealized net gains and losses on the translation of the assets and liabilities of its foreign operations. For the periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company’s components of comprehensive income were foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized losses on securities held for sale.
Revenue Recognition:
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 605-10, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements". Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery or service has occurred, the sale price is fixed or determinable and receipt of payment is probable.
Revenues earned from the sale of precious metal concentrates are recognized as the title to the material is passed to the buyer upon delivery.
Earnings per Common Share:
Earnings (loss) per share are calculated in accordance with ASC 260 “Earnings per Share”. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period is used to compute basic earnings (loss) per share. Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of shares and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding. Dilutive potential common shares are additional common shares assumed to be exercised. Potentially dilutive common shares consist of stock options and are excluded from the diluted earnings per share computation in periods where the Company has incurred a net loss, as their effect would be considered anti-dilutive.
10 |
There were no potentially dilutive common stock equivalents as of June 30, 2013, therefore basic earnings per share equals diluted earnings per share for the period ended June 30, 2013. The Company had 1,151,800 options and warrants outstanding at June 30, 2013. As the Company incurred a net loss during the period ended June 30, 2013, the basic and diluted loss per common share is the same amount, as any common stock equivalents would be considered anti-dilutive.
As the Company incurred a net loss during the three months ended June 30, 2012, the basic and diluted loss per common share is the same amount. As of June 30, 2012, the Company had no stock options outstanding that could potentially have a dilutive effect on basic earnings per share in the future.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements:
The Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flow. See Note 13 for a discussion of new accounting pronouncements.
Reclassifications:
Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

NOTE 4 – INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATE
Through December 31, 2010 the Company loaned a total of $805,760 USD to DynaResource Nevada, Inc. (“DynaNevada”), a Nevada Corporation, which maintains one operating subsidiary in Mexico, DynaNevada de Mexico, SA de CV. (“DynaNevada de Mexico”). The terms of the Note Receivable provided for a “Convertible Loan”, repayable at 5% interest over a 3 year period, and convertible at the Company’s option into common stock of DynaNevada at $.25 / Share. DynaNevada is a related entity (affiliate), and through its subsidiary DynaNevada de Mexico, has entered into an Option agreement with Grupo Mexico (IMMSA) in Mexico, for the exploration and development of approximately 3,000 hectares in the State of San Luis Potosi (“The Santa Gertrudis Property”). DynaNevada de Mexico exercised the Option with IMMSA in March 2010, so that DynaNevada de Mexico now owns 100% of the Santa Gertrudis Property. In June, 2010, DynaNevada de Mexico acquired an additional 6,000 hectares in the State of Sinaloa (the “San Juan Property”).
On December 31, 2010, the Company exercised its option to convert the note receivable and other receivable from DynaNevada into shares of common stock at a rate of $.25 per share. The Company received 3,223,040 shares, which represents approximately 19.95% of the outstanding shares of DynaNevada. At the time of the exchange, DynaNevada’s net book value was approximately $695,000, consisting of $30,000 cash and the remainder unproven mining properties. DynaNevada has a contingent liability arising from the purchase of one of the mining properties, which Management believes has no merit. Based upon the above, Management estimated the value of the Company’s DynaNevada shares as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 to be $70,000. Management believes the impairment is temporary, and therefore an unrealized loss of $735,760 has been recorded in other comprehensive income.
NOTE 5 – PROMISSORY NOTES
Notes Payable – Series I
At June 30, 2013, the Company was obligated to repay Promissory Notes in the amount of $1,545,000 (the “Notes”). The Notes bear simple interest at twelve and a half percent (12.5%), accrued for twelve months, and with the accrued interest to be added to the principal, and then interest will be paid by the Company, quarterly in arrears. The holders of the Notes (In Aggregate) are also entitled to receive ten percent (10%) of the net profits received by the Company, and generated from the bulk sampling material (if any, and up to fifty thousand tons) processed through the existing, or improved mill facilities at San Jose de Gracia. This net profit percentage (if any) would be paid quarterly in arrears based on the profits generated (if any) for the prior quarter. Such net profits (if any) are to be calculated after deducting all expenses related to the processing of the bulk sample material, and after a prior deduction of thirty three percent (33%) from the profits, to be deposited in a sinking fund. The Notes mature on December 31, 2015.
The Company has the right to prepay the Notes with a ten percent (10%) penalty. The Note holder may, at any time prior to maturity or prepayment, convert any unpaid principal and accrued interest into common stock of the Company at $5.00 per share. At the time of conversion, the holder would receive a warrant to purchase additional common shares of the Company for $7.50 per share, such warrant expiring on December 31, 2015.
NOTE 6 – INCOME TAXES
The Company has adopted ASC 740-10, “Income Taxes”, which requires the use of the liability method in the computation of income tax expense and the current and deferred income taxes payable (deferred tax liability) or benefit (deferred tax asset). Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
The cumulative tax effect at the expected tax rate of 34% (blended for U.S. and Mexico) of significant items comprising the Company’s net deferred tax amounts as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 are as follows:
Deferred Tax Asset Related to:
2013 | 2012 | |||||||
Prior Year | $ | 8,282,305 | $ | 7,008,203 | ||||
Tax Benefit for Current Year | 533,849 | 1,274,102 | ||||||
Total Deferred Tax Asset | 8,816,154 | 8,282,305 | ||||||
Less: Valuation Allowance | (8,816,154 | ) | (8,282,305 | ) | ||||
Net Deferred Tax Asset | $ | 0 | $ | 0 | ||||
The net deferred tax asset and benefit for the current year is generated primarily from the cumulative net operating loss carry-forward which is approximately $29,000,000 at June 30, 2013, and will expire in the years 2025 through 2031.
The realization of deferred tax benefits is contingent upon future earnings and is fully reserved at June 30, 2013.
NOTE 7 – MATERIAL AGREEMENTS

The remaining balance of the $18,000,000 was contributed by Goldgroup to DynaMexico on March 14, 2011 and at March 31, 2011, Goldgroup owned 50% of the outstanding common shares of DynaMexico.
DynaMexico and MinerasDyna Amendment to Operating Agreement (“Exploitation Amendment”)
On May 15, 2013 MinerasDyna entered into an Exploitation Amendment Agreement (“EAA”) with DynaMexico. The EAA grants to MinerasDyna the right to finance, explore, develop and exploit the SJG Property, in exchange for: (A) Reimbursement of all costs associated with financing, maintenance, exploration, development and exploitation of the SJG Property, which costs are to be charged and billed by MinerasDyna to DynaMexico; and, (B) After Item (A) above, the receipt by MinerasDyna of 75 % of gross receipts received by DynaMexico from the sale of all minerals produced from SJG, to the point that MinerasDyna has received 200 % of its advanced funds; and, (C) After Items (A) and (B) above; the receipt by MinerasDyna of 50% of all gross receipts received by DynaMexico from the sale of all minerals produced from SJG, and throughout the term of the EAA; and, (D) In addition to Items (A), (B), and (C) above, MinerasDyna shall receive a 2.5 % NSR on all minerals sold from SJG over the term of the EAA.
The EAA is the third and latest Amendment to the original Contract Mining Services and Mineral Production Agreement (the “Operating Agreement”), which was previously entered into by MinerasDyna with DynaMexico in April 2005, wherein MinerasDyna was named the Exclusive Operating Entity at SJG. The Operating Agreement was previously amended in September 2006 (the “First Amendment”), and amended again at July 15, 2011 (the “Second Amendment”). The Term of the Second Amendment is 20 years, and the EAA provides for the continuation of the 20 Year Term from the date of the Second Amendment (July 15, 2011).

The Company began allocating a portion of other comprehensive income (loss) to the non-controlling interest with the adoption of ASC 160 as of January 1, 2009.
NOTE 13 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income – Presentation of Comprehensive Income.” ASU No. 2011-05 eliminated the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of stockholders’ equity. It requires an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In December, 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, “Comprehensive Income – Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in ASU 2011-05” to defer the effective date of the specific requirement to present items that are reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income to net income alongside their respective components of net income and other comprehensive income. All other provisions of this update, which are to be applied retrospectively, are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning December 15, 2011, The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption will have on their consolidated financial statements.
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, “Balance Sheet – Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.” ASU 2011-11 requires entities to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements of financial instruments and derivative instruments and will be applied retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. ASU 2011-11 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption will have on its consolidated financial statements.
On January 1, 2012, the Company adopted guidance issued by the FASB on accounting and disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. The guidance limits the highest-and-best-use measure to nonfinancial assets, permits certain financial assets and liabilities with offsetting positions in market or counterparty credit risks to be measured at a net basis, and provides guidance on the applicability of premiums and discounts. Additionally, the guidance expands the disclosures on Level 3 inputs by requiring quantitative disclosure of the unobservable inputs and assumptions, as well as description of the valuation processes and the sensitivity of the fair value to changes in unobservable inputs. Adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
NOTE 14 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS |
In September 2006, the guidance for fair value measurements and disclosure was updated to define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value, and expand disclosures about fair value measurements. This guidance does not require any new fair value measurements but rather eliminates inconsistencies in guidance found in various prior accounting pronouncements. The provisions of the updated guidance were adopted January 1, 2008. In February 2008, the FASB staff issued an update to the guidance which delayed the effective date for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. The Company adopted the updated guidance for the Company’s nonfinancial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis on January 1, 2009. The adoption of updated guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
15 |
In October 2008, the guidance was further updated to provide guidance on how the fair value of a financial asset is to be determined when the market for that financial asset is inactive. The guidance states that determining fair value in an inactive market depends on the facts and circumstances, requires the use of significant judgment and, in some cases, observable inputs may require significant adjustment based on unobservable data. Regardless of the valuation technique used, an entity must include appropriate risk adjustments that market participants would make for nonperformance and liquidity risks when determining fair value of an asset in an inactive market. The guidance was effective upon issuance. The Company has incorporated the principles of updated guidance in determining the fair value of financial assets when the market for those assets is not active.
In April 2009, the guidance was further updated to provide additional guidance on determining fair value when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and identifying circumstances that indicate when a transaction is not orderly. The provisions of this updated guidance were adopted April 1, 2009. The adoption of the guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s fair value measurements.
The ASC guidance for fair value measurements and disclosure establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 Inputs – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
This report contains forward looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those set forth on the forward looking statements as a result of the risks set forth in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, general economic conditions, and changes in the assumptions used in making such forward looking statements.
General
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which we refer to in this quarterly report as the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which we refer to in this quarterly report as the Exchange Act. Forward-looking statements are not statements of historical fact but rather reflect our current expectations, estimates and predictions about future results and events. These statements may use words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “predict,” “project” and similar expressions as they relate to us or our management. When we make forward-looking statements, we are basing them on our management’s beliefs and assumptions, using information currently available to us. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including but not limited to, risks, uncertainties and assumptions discussed in this quarterly report. Factors that can cause or contribute to these differences include those described under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Management Discussion and Analysis and Plan of Operation.”
If one or more of these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may vary materially from what we projected. Any forward-looking statement you read in this quarterly report reflects our current views with respect to future events and is subject to these and other risks, uncertainties and assumptions relating to our operations, results of operations, growth strategy and liquidity. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or individuals acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by this paragraph. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this quarterly report.

IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING CANADIAN DISCLOSURE STANDARDS
The Company is an “OTC Reporting Issuer” as that term is defined in BC Multilateral Instrument 51-105, Issuers Quoted in the U.S. Over-the-Counter Markets, promulgated by the British Columbia Securities Commission. Accordingly, certain disclosure in this quarterly report has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of securities laws in effect in Canada, which differ from the requirements of United States securities laws. In Canada, an issuer is required to provide technical information with respect to mineralization, including reserves and resources, if any, on its mineral exploration properties in accordance with Canadian requirements, which differ significantly from the requirements of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) applicable to registration statements and reports filed by United States companies pursuant to the Securities Act or the Exchange Act. As such, information contained in this quarterly report concerning descriptions of mineralization under Canadian standards may not be comparable to similar information made public by United States companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of the SEC and not subject to Canadian securities legislation. This quarterly report may use the terms “measured mineral resources”, “indicated mineral resources” and “inferred mineral resources”. While these terms are recognized and required by Canadian securities legislation (under National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects), the SEC does not recognize them. United States investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted to reserves. In addition, “inferred mineral resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of a measured mineral resource, indicated mineral resource or inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian securities legislation, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, although they may form, in certain circumstances, the basis of a “preliminary economic assessment” as that term is defined in National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of any reported measured, indicated, or inferred mineral resource estimates referred to herein or in the Technical Report are economically or legally mineable.

Company
DynaResource, Inc., the Company described herein, is a Delaware corporation, with offices located at 222 W. Las Colinas Blvd., Suite 744 East Tower, Irving, Texas 75039. It can be reached by phone at (972) 868-9066 and by fax at (972) 868-9067.
History
The Company was incorporated in the State of California on September 28, 1937, under the name West Coast Mines, Inc. In November 1998, the Company re-domiciled from California to Delaware and changed its name to DynaResource, Inc. The Company is in the business of acquiring, investing in, and developing precious metal properties, and the production of precious metals.
Through its 80% owned Mexican subsidiary, DynaResource de México, S.A. de C.V. (“DynaMéxico”), the Company owns a portfolio of mining concessions that currently includes its interests in the San José de Gracia (SJG) Project in Sinaloa State, in northern Mexico. The SJG District covers 69,121 hectares (170,802 acres) on the west side of the Sierra Madre Mountains.
In May 2000, the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary, DynaResource de Mexico S.A. de C.V., chartered in Mexico (“DynaMexico”). This Company was formed to acquire, invest in and develop resource properties in Mexico. In 2005, the Company formed DynaResource Operaciones de San Jose De Gracia S.A. de C.V. (“DynaOperaciones”), and acquired effective control of Mineras de DynaResource, S.A de C.V. (formerly Minera Finesterre S.A. De C.V., “MinerasDyna”). The Company owned 25% of MinerasDyna and acquired effective control of MinerasDyna by acquiring the option to purchase the remaining 75% of the Shares of MinerasDyna. The Company exercised the option and finalized the acquisition of MinerasDyna in January 2010, and now owns 100% of MinerasDyna. The results of DynaMexico, DynaOperaciones and MinerasDyna are consolidated with those of the Company.
In April 2005, MinerasDyna entered into an operating agreement with DynaMéxico, and as a consequence of that agreement and subsequent amendments to that agreement, is the named exclusive operating entity for the SJG Project.
In May 2005, the Company formed another wholly owned subsidiary, DynaResource Operaciones, SA de C.V. (“DynaOperaciones”). DynaOperaciones entered into a personnel management agreement with MinerasDyna and, as a consequence of that agreement, is the exclusive management company of personnel and consultants for the SJG Project.
In January 2008, DynaMexico issued 15% of its outstanding common shares to Goldgroup Resources Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Goldgroup Mining Inc., Vancouver, BC. (“Goldgroup”), in exchange for $3,000,000 USD cash contributed for exploration expenditures at the San Jose de Gracia property (“SJG”). In August 2008, DynaMexico issued an additional 10% of its outstanding common shares to Goldgroup in exchange for additional $3,000,000 USD cash for exploration expenditures, and in March 2011, DynaMexico issued an additional 25% of its outstanding common shares to Goldgroup in exchange for additional $12,000,000 USD cash for exploration expenditures. At March 31, 2011, Goldgroup had contributed $18,000,000 USD in aggregate to DynaMexico, and Goldgroup owned 50% of the outstanding common shares of DynaMexico.
On December 27, 2012, the Company, and DynaMexico, filed an Original Petition and Application for Temporary Injunction and Permanent Injunction in the 14th Judicial District Court of Dallas, Texas (the “Petition”) against Defendants Goldgroup Mining Inc., Goldgroup Resources Inc., and certain individuals acting in concert with Goldgroup (collectively “Goldgroup”). The Petition alleges, among other things, that Goldgroup has wrongfully used property, confidential information and data belonging to DynaMéxico and consistently failed to disclose several matters of material importance to the public.
The Petition requests that Goldgroup be enjoined from: (a) using or disseminating any confidential information belonging to DynaMéxico, (b) asserting that Goldgroup owns any interest in the San Jose de Gracia Project, rather than owning a common shares equity interest in DynaMéxico, (c) improperly disclosing that Goldgroup is the operator of the San Jose de Gracia Project, rather than Mineras de DynaResource SA de C.V. (“Mineras”), and (d) failing to properly disclose that broad powers of attorney for acting on behalf of DynaMéxico are held by a DynaUSA senior executive.
18 |
The Petition further requests, among other things: (a) a temporary and permanent injunction; (b) declaratory relief; (c) disgorgement of funds alleged to have been improperly raised as a consequence of Goldgroup’s wrongful actions; (d) cancellation of shares of DynaMéxico stock held by Goldgroup; and, (d) actual and punitive damages.
The Company believes the filing of the Petition to be necessary in order to protect its shareholder interests in DynaMexico and in order to protect the property, data, and assets of DynaMexico.
The Company is the plaintiff in this litigation, but the outcome is uncertain. The Company believes there is little to no potential for the assessment of a material monetary judgment against the Company.
On May 15, 2013 MinerasDyna entered into an Exploitation Amendment Agreement (“EAA”) with DynaMexico. The EAA grants to MinerasDyna the right to finance, explore, develop and exploit the SJG Property, in exchange for: (A) Reimbursement of all costs associated with financing, maintenance, exploration, development and exploitation of the SJG Property, which costs are to be charged and billed by MinerasDyna to DynaMexico; and, (B) After Item (A) above, the receipt by MinerasDyna of 75 % of gross receipts received by DynaMexico from the sale of all minerals produced from SJG, to the point that MinerasDyna has received 200 % of its advanced funds; and, (C) After Items (A) and (B) above; the receipt by MinerasDyna of 50 % of all gross receipts received by DynaMexico from the sale of all minerals produced from SJG, and throughout the term of the EAA; and, (D) In addition to Items (A), (B), and (C) above, MinerasDyna shall receive a 2.5 % NSR on all minerals sold from SJG over the term of the EAA.
The EAA is the third and latest Amendment to the original Contract Mining Services and Mineral Production Agreement (the “Operating Agreement”), which was previously entered into by MinerasDyna with DynaMexico in April 2005, wherein MinerasDyna was named the Exclusive Operating Entity at SJG. The Operating Agreement was previously amended in September 2006 (the “First Amendment”), and amended again at July 15, 2011 (the “Second Amendment”). The Term of the Second Amendment is 20 years, and the EAA provides for the continuation of the 20 Year Term from the date of the Second Amendment (July 15, 2011).
On June 21, 2013, DynaResource received a Certificate for 300 Shares of Series B Variable Capital Shares of DynaResource de Mexico S.A. de C.V. ("DynaMexico"), in exchange for the settlement of accounts receivable from DynaMexico in the amount of $31,090,710 Mexican Pesos (approximately $2.4 M USD). After the issuance and receipt of the 300 Series B Shares, DynaUSA holds 80% of the total outstanding Capital of DynaMexico. DynaMexico owns 100% of the San Jose de Gracia Project in northern Sinaloa, Mexico ("SJG", and the "SJG Property"). (See table representation of the outstanding Capital of DynaMexico below).
The exchange of shares by DynaMexico for amounts payable to DynaUSA was unanimously approved by attending shareholders at a meeting of the shareholders of DynaMexico, held on the second call for shareholder's meeting on May 17, 2013 in Mazatlan, Sinaloa, Mexico. Of the total amount of $31,090,170 Mexican Pesos exchanged for the 300 Shares, $150,000 Mexican Pesos was accounted for at the nominal value of $500 Mexican Pesos per share, and the remaining balance of $30,940,710 Mexican Pesos was accounted for as a premium for the subscription of the shares agreed to be paid by DynaUSA.
The date of issuance of the 300 Series B Share Certificate was June 21, 2013. As a result of the issuance and exchange by DynaMexico of the 300 Variable Capital shares for amounts owed to DynaUSA, the accounts payable amount owed by DynaMexico to DynaUSA has been retired in full. Mineras de DynaResource S.A. de C.V., the 100 % owned subsidiary of DynaUSA ("Mineras"), continues to carry an amount receivable from DynaMexico of $455,000 USD at June 21, 2013. Mineras continues to make cash advances to DynaMexico in order that DynaMexico pay for the maintenance and advance of the San Jose de Gracia Property, and on May 15, 2013 Mineras entered into an Exploitation Amendment Agreement ("EAA") with DynaMexico which EAA grants to Mineras the rights to finance, maintain, explore and exploit the SJG Property.
After the issuance of the 300 Series B Variable Capital shares of DynaMexico to DynaUSA as described above, the current outstanding Capital of DynaMexico is set forth below:

Licenses and Concessions
The SJG District is comprised of 33 mining concessions covering 69,121 hectares (171,802 acres) and is located within the Sierra Madre gold-silver belt, where the majority of hydrothermal deposits in Mexico are located. The mining concessions comprising the SJG District, all of which are formally held by DynaMéxico (with one exception: the San Miguel mining concession –see the Note 1 immediately following the below table), are granted by the Mexican government, or acquired from previous owners. DynaMexico’s mining concessions are comprised of a combination of exploration concessions and development concessions, are filed in the Public Registry of Mining, and are scheduled to expire from 2028 through 2058. The concessions can be renewed prior to the expiry dates.
Under amendments to the Mining Act of Mexico that came into effect on December 2006, the classifications of Mining Exploration Concessions and Mining Exploitation Concessions were replaced by a single classification of Mining Concessions valid for a renewable term of 50 years, commencing from the initial issuance date. To be converted into Mining Concessions at the time these amendments came into force, former exploration and exploitation concessions had to be in good standing at the time of conversion. All of the SJG concessions were converted to 50-year Mining Concessions at the time the amendments to the Mining Act came into effect. To renew the 50-year term, Mining Concessions must be in good standing at the time application is filed an application for renewal must be filed within 5 years prior to expiration of the term.
To maintain Mining Concessions in good standing, the registered owner must (a) pay bi-annual mining duties in advance, by January 31 and July 31 each year, (b) file assessment work reports by May 30 each year, for the preceding year (some exception rules apply), and (c) file by January 31 each year, statistical reports on exploration / exploitation work conducted for the preceding year.
Notice of Commencement of Production Activities and Annual Production Reports must be filed annually by January 31 each year for those concessions where mineral ore extraction is taking place. As a general provision, registered owners of Mining Concessions must follow environmental and labor laws and regulations in order to maintain their Mining Concessions in good standing.
As of the date of this Form 10-Q, all of the 33 mining concessions comprising the SJG Property are in good standing with respect to the payment of taxes and the filing of assessment work obligations imposed by the Mining Act of Mexico and its Regulations.

(1) According to the records of the Mines Registry Office, the registered owners to 100% undivided title to the San Miguel (t.183504) mining concession are: María Trinidad Acosta Salazar (25%), Miguel López Medina (25%), Josefa González Castro (25%) and Otilia Tracy Vizcarra (25%). On October 17, 2000 and March 8, 2001 DynaMexico signed with each of Miguel Lopez Medina and Josefa Gonzalez Castro, respectively, agreements for the transfer to DynaMexico of 50% undivided title to the San Miguel (t.183504) mining concession (the “San Miguel Transfer Agreements”).
In respect to the San Miguel Transfer Agreements, DynaMexico has been advised that in order for the San Miguel Transfer Agreements to produce legal effects and be eligible for registration before the Mines Registry Office, DynaMexico is required to first obtain the legal consent to such transfers, or the written relinquishment of first rights of refusal, from María Trinidad Acosta Salazar and Otilia Tracy Vizcarra (or court-appointed estate executor).
In addition to the San Miguel Transfer Agreements, DynaMexico has entered into the following Promise to Sell and Purchase Agreements (the “San Miguel Promise to Sell and Purchase Agreements”):
21 |
(a) Promise to Sell and Purchase Agreement signed on March 8, 2001 among DynaMexico and Maria Trinidad Acosta Salazar, the registered owner to 25% undivided title to the San Miguel (t.183504) mining concession, and
(b) Promise to Sell and Purchase Agreement signed on December 15, 2000 among DynaMexico and Margarita Tracy Vizcarra, the sister of the deceased Otilia Tracy Vizcarra.
In respect to the San Miguel Promise to Sell and Purchase Agreements, DynaMexico has been advised that:
(a) with respect to the Promise to Sell and Purchase Agreement signed on March 8, 2001 among DynaMexico and Maria Trinidad Acosta Salazar, to contact Ms. María Trinidad Acosta Salazar to demand compliance with such agreement by executing the definitive transfer to DynaMexico of the 25% undivided title to the San Miguel (t.183604) mining concession registered in her name, and
(b) with respect to the Promise to Sell and Purchase Agreement signed on December 15, 2000 among DynaMexico and Margarita Tracy Vizcarra, the sister of the deceased Otilia Tracy Vizcarra, the estate of Otilia Tracy Vizcarra requires the appointment of a court-appointed executor that would be capable under Mexican law to formally grant the estate´s consent for the execution of the San Miguel Transfer Agreements, to relinquish the estate´s first rights of refusal or to request court approval for the transfer to DynaMexico of the 25% undivided interest in the San Miguel (t.183604) mining concession registered in the name of the deceased Otilia Tracy Vizcarra.
Surface Lease Rights
In addition to the surface rights held by DynaMexico pursuant to the Mining Act of Mexico and its Regulations (Ley Minera y su Reglamento), DynaMexico maintains access and surface rights to the SJG Project pursuant to a surface lease agreement. Dated May 12, 2002, the surface lease, formally entitled “Land Occupation Agreement” between the El Ejido Santa Maria and DynaResource de Mexico, covers 4,399 hectares and has a term of 30 years. The surface lease is currently in good standing, and DynaMexico has no future financial obligations in order to maintain the surface lease, other than to conduct its mining activities in accordance with applicable Mexican environmental, mining and labor laws and regulations.
Property Location
The San Jose de Gracia mining property surrounds the area of San Jose de Gracia, Sinaloa State, Mexico. San Jose de Gracia is located on the west side of the Sierra Madre Mountains in the Sierra Madre Gold-Silver Belt, approximately 100 kilometers inland from Los Mochis, Sinaloa Mexico and approximately 200 kilometers north of Mazatlan, Sinaloa.
Access
The San José de Gracia Project can be accessed by road, via a sealed highway from either Culiacan, the capital city of the State of Sinaloa (located to the south of the San José de Gracia Project) or the city of Guamuchil (located to the southwest of SJG), to the small town of Sinaloa de Leyva, then by gravel mountainous road to the village of San José de Gracia.
The San José de Gracia Project can also be accessed by air. A gravel airstrip is located adjacent to the village of San José de Gracia which is located at the southwestern portion of the property at the SJG Project, and the airstrip is suitable for light aircraft.
Climate and Operating Season
The climate is semi-tropical with a rainy season dominating from late June / early July through September. Operations at the San José de Gracia Project are in part dependent on the weather and some activities may be suspended during the rainy season.
Infrastructure and Local Resources
22 |
Power
A power line to the San José de Gracia Project has been installed by the Comisión Federal de Electricidad, the only authorized power producer in Mexico. The power line was installed in March 2012 from the municipality of Sinaloa de Leyva (La Estancia area), a distance of approximately 75 kilometers.
The power line is currently 220 volts maximum capacity, which supports domestic use only, including the office and camp facilities at SJG, such as water pump, air conditioning, refrigeration, lights, internet, and fans, as well as local residential use. Currently, the SJG Project produces its own diesel-generated power for industrial use.
Water
The water source for the SJG camp is from a water well located close to the river which runs just west of the village of San José de Gracia. DynaMexico has obtained the water concession rights for this water source, which provide for usage of 1,000,000 cubic meters per year. Currently, DynaMexico estimates its consumption of water to be approximately 10,000 liters per week.
Accommodations
The mine site area camp maintains facilities which can accommodate about 50 persons. The village of San José de Gracia maintains few stores, and which offer only minimal goods.
Offices – Camp Facilities
DynaMexico maintains an administrative and logistics office in Guamuchil, located 125 kilometers southwest of the SJG property. The SJG Project sources many of its supplies from Guamuchil, and from Los Mochis and Culiacan. A satellite dish installed at the SJG Property provides communications from the SJG Property to Guamuchil.
Historical Production
SJG reports 1,000,000 Oz. gold historical production from a series of underground workings. 471,000 Oz. Au is reported produced at the La Purisima area of SJG, at an average grade of 66.7 g/t; and 215,000 Oz. Au is reported produced from the La Prieta area, at an average grade of 27.6 g/t. Mineralization at SJG has been traced on surface and underground over a 15 square kilometer area.
1997-1998 Drilling – Exploration Programs
A drill program was conducted at SJG in 1997 - 1998 by a prior majority owner. Approximately 6,172 meters drilling was completed in 63 core drill holes. Significant intercepts, including bonanza grades, outlined the down dip potential of the Northeast section (150 Meter NE to SW extent of the Drilling) of the Los Hilos to Tres Amigos Trend of SJG.
Surface and underground sampling in 1999 - 2000 confirmed high grades in historic workings and surface exposures throughout the project area. These high grades outline the presence of ore shoots developed within the veins. The ore shoots appear to be controlled by dilational jogs and/or vein intersections. A total of 544 samples were collected in 1999-2000, and assayed an average 6.51 grams/ton gold.
2003-2006 Pilot Production Activities
DynaMexico, conducting activities through its operating sister companies MinerasDyna and DynaOperaciones, mined high-grade veins at the San Pablo area of SJG from mid 2003 to June 2006. 18,250 Oz. gold was produced and sold from mill feed tonnage of 42,000 tons, at an average grade of approximately 15-20 g/t. Production costs were reported at approx. < $ 175. / Oz. Au in this small scale, pilot production operation.
Mined Tonnage | 42,500 tons |
Production (Oz Au) | 18,250 Oz |
Average Grade | 15-20 g/t |
Recovery Efficiency (Plant) | 85% |
Recovery in Concentrate (Sales) | 90% |
Production Cost (Average, 4 Years) | $175 / Oz |
23 |
The small scale mining and production activities at SJG consisted of improvements to an existing mill, including the installation of a gravity / flotation processing circuit, and initial test runs with tailings were completed in 2002.Actual mining at the higher grade San Pablo area of the property commenced in March 2003.
Suspension of Production Activities
The Company initiated the test production activity in 2003 at the time gold prices were depressed, and when exploration funding opportunities, while available, were deemed to be too dilutive by Company management. While the test production was considered successful (see results in the table above), a small scale production activity was not expected to provide the necessary capital in order to explore a project the size of SJG.
The earlier, limited-scope production activity has provided significant benefits in terms of confirming production grades, metallurgy and process, efficiency of recoveries, and production costs – all of which are valuable for larger scale production plans.
Earn In / Option Agreement; Financing of Drilling - Exploration Programs
On September 1, 2006 the Company signed a “Stock Purchase and Earn In Agreement” (“Earn In”) between DynaResource, Inc. and DynaMexico, (“Seller”) and Goldgroup Mining, Inc. (formerly Goldgroup Resources, Inc.), of Vancouver, British Columbia.
The Earn In provided for Goldgroup to contribute $18,000,000 on or before March 15, 2011 in exchange for fifty per cent (50%) of the total outstanding shares of DynaMexico, the 100 % owner of the San Jose de Gracia District (“SJG”). Goldgroup now holds 50% of the outstanding shares of DynaMexico.
Drilling programs conducted pursuant to the Earn In/ Option Agreement completed a total of 298 drill holes covering 68,741 meters of drilling from 2007 through March 2011. Results of the drilling activity, including the results of previous drilling in 1997-1998, appear in an “SJG Drill Intercepts Summary File through 11-298”, as Exhibit 99.1 to our Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2011 filed with the SEC on August 22, 2011, and available on EDGAR at:
http://sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1111741/000112178111000241/ex99one.htm.
Additionally, the updated Drill Summary File is posted on the Company’s web site at www.dynaresource.com.
DynaMéxico Summary of Drilling Results
The drilling results obtained from San Jose de Gracia of holes drilled through March 31, 2011 (through DDH SJG 11-298) confirm the extensions of mineralization, down dip of historical workings, with confirmation of high grade gold (over 10 g/t), and including bonanza grades shoots which are consistent with historical and recent production grades. Specifically, San Pablo, Tres Amigos, La Purisima, and La Union areas have reported significant results. The summary of the drill results are described in an SJG Drill Summary File which is available on the SEC website referred to above.
No Known Reserves
Currently, the Company’s drilling programs (through DynaMexico) are exploratory in nature.
The SJG Property is without known reserves. Under U.S. standards, set forth in SEC Industry Guide 7, mineralization may not be classified as a “reserve” unless a determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve determination is made.
Future Drilling – Exploration Programs
Further drilling programs at SJG are contemplated, in view of the 2012 DynaMexico-CAM SJG Mineral Resource Estimate and the formal National Instrument 43-101(“NI 43-101”) Technical Report for San Jose de Gracia (the “2012 DynaMexico Luna-CAM SJG Technical Report”), and the updated NI 43-101 Technical Report, dated December 31, 2012 (See “Updated National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report for San Jose de Gracia”, below.)
24 |
The Company expects DynaMéxico will be successful in expanding the size and scope of the resources at SJG through continued drilling and development programs at San Pablo, Tres Amigos, La Cecena, Palos Chinos, La Union, La Purisima, and La Prieta. The Company expects extensions to mineralization in all directions and down dip from the main target areas.

Company Transition from Exploration to Mining – Production
The Company expects to transition its business from that of a purely exploration company, to an exploration and production company. Considering the foundational resource for SJG as reported in the 2012 DynaMexico-CAM SJG Mineral Resource Estimate, the Company expects DynaMexico to confirm a positive economic assessment for SJG in the Preliminary Economic Assessment Report expected to be commissioned by DynaMexico.
SEMARNAT Permission for Operating Mill Facility at San Jose de Gracia
On June 17, 2013, DynaMexico received from the Secretaria de Medio Ambiente Y Recursos Naturales, the Federal Environmental Authority in Mexico ("SEMARNAT"), the approval and permission which allows for the rehabilitation and operation of the pilot mill facility at SJG ("the Semarnat-SJG Mill Permit," and, the "Semarnat Permit"). Under the terms of the Semarnat-SJG Mill Permit, DynaMexico will be responsible to maintain the SJG pilot mill facility, and including the adjacent tailings pond area, in compliance with the regulations described in la Norma Oficial Mexicana ("NOM-141-SEMARNAT-2003).
Rehabilitation of Pilot Mill Facility at San Jose de Gracia
Under the terms of the Exploitation Amendment Agreement (“EAA”), as described above, MinerasDyna is planning the rehabilitation and subsequent operation of the pilot mill facility at SJG. The SJG pilot mill facility (a gravimetric-flotation circuit) is projected to process bulk samples to be mined from selected target areas of SJG. Operations at SJG will be managed by Mineras, and are projected to be similar to those conducted by DynaMexico during the 2003-2006 Period.
Regional Geology & Mineral Deposits
San José de Gracia lies within the Sierra Madre Occidental Gold-Silver Belt, in a second-order graben directly east of the regional-scale Grete Graben. The basement to the Sierra Madre Occidental consists of deformed Paleozoic sedimentary strata, which are non-conformably overlain by Tertiary mafic to felsic volcanic and volcaniclastic strata known as the Lower Volcanic Series (“LVS”). Strata of the LVS are recognized as being spatially related to gold and silver mineralization in the region. Volcanic and sedimentary strata are capped by a thick sequence of non-deformed Late Tertiary ignimbrites, known as the Upper Volcanic Series (“UVS”).
Property Geology
The oldest rocks exposed at San José de Gracia are deformed Paleozoic shale, sandstone, conglomerate and minor limestone, which are non-conformably overlain by andesite and rhyodacite flows and tuffs of the LVS. Volcanic and sedimentary strata are cut by quartz-feldspar porphyry, porphyritic diorite bodies and fine-grained mafic dykes, which may be cotemporal with the LVS. Ignimbrites of the UVS are exposed at higher elevations on the property and are thought to act as a post mineralization cap rock, thereby indicating an Early to Mid Tertiary (Paleocene to Eocene) age for gold mineralization at San José de Gracia.
Geologic Structure
Detailed mapping within the project area has defined several stages of deformation, beginning with compression during the Laramide Orogeny which affected the Paleozoic basement and formed flat-lying reverse faults, which have been reactivated as conduits for gold-bearing fluids in the La Prieta trend (Table 2). Extension in Tertiary time led to the development of second order structures, trending south, southwest and southeast; which formed the major structural orientations for mineralization at San José de Gracia. The latest phase of deformation is characterized by late-stage extension and southwest tilting.
Mineralization & Alteration
High grade gold mineralization at San José de Gracia is hosted within andesite and rhyodacite of the LVS and underlying Paleozoic sediments as fault breccia veins and crackle breccias that exhibit multiple stages of reactivation and fluid flow, as evidenced by crustiform/colloform textures and cross cutting veins. Locally, veins exhibit sharp, clay gouge hangingwall and footwall contacts with slickensides, indicating reactivation of structurally-hosted veins subsequent to mineralization. Gold grades can also be carried within the mineralized halo adjacent to the principal veins as quartz-chlorite stockwork. In addition to vein-hosted mineralization, broad zones of un-mineralized clay alteration, developed southwest of the main mineralized trends, may overlie lower-grade, disseminated gold mineralization at depth.
26 |
Alteration at San José de Gracia is laterally and vertically zoned from discrete zones of silicification to broad zones of illite to clay alteration with increasing elevation and/or distance from the main feeder structures. Faulting and tilting of the mineralization system has affected the surface distribution of alteration and in general has exposed deeper portions of the system in the northeast and exposed shallower, more distal portions of the hydrothermal system in the southwest part of the property.
Six principal mineralized trends have been identified at San José de Gracia, from south to north, consisting of:
1. | La Purisima Ridge trend; |
2. | Palos Chinos trend; |
3. | La Parilla to Veta Tierra trend (Including La Union); |
4. | San Pablo trend; |
5. | La Prieta trend, and |
6. | Los Hilos to Tres Amigos trend. |
Lab
A field laboratory is maintained within the camp facility. DynaMexico utilized the lab for internal assaying services during its production activities of 2003-2006. Assays were performed by DynaMexico personnel for mined mineralization, feed mineralization, gravity and flotation concentrates, and tailings. The current status of the lab and equipment is care and maintenance. The Company anticipates that MinerasDyna will utilize the lab facility in the future for providing check assays to support ongoing exploration and bulk sampling works.
Mineral Resource Estimate - Construction of Wireframes
Mineral Resources were estimated by Mr. Sandefur within wireframes constructed by technical personnel of Minop SA de CV (“Minop”), a subsidiary of Goldgroup Mining Inc. (“Goldgroup”). Minop was contracted by Mineras de DynaResource SA de CV. (“MinerasDyna”).
Mineral Resource Estimate - Parameters Used to Estimate the Mineral Resource
The data base for the San Jose de Garcia Project consists of 372 drill holes of which 361 were diamond drill holes and the remaining 11, drilled in 1992, were reverse circulation holes, with a total drilling of 75,878 meters. The 2012 DynaMexico-CAM SJG Mineral Resource Estimate concentrates on four main mineralized vein systems at SJG: Tres Amigos, San Pablo, La Union, and La Purisima. Of the 372 drill holes, 368 were drilled to test these four main vein systems and the remaining four holes tested the Argillic Zone. Technical personnel of Minop built three dimensional solids to constrain estimation to the interpreted veins in each swarm. The 172 holes most recently drilled (2009-2011), were allocated as follows: Tres Amigos (64 holes), San Pablo (49 holes), La Union (24 holes), La Purisima (32 holes) and the Argillic Zone (3 holes).
Servicios y Proyectos Mineros performed a database review and considers that a reasonable level of verification has been completed, and that no material issues have been left unidentified from the drilling programs undertaken.
A total of 5,540 pieces of core were measured for specific gravity using the weight in air vs. weight in water method. This represents an additional 3,897 measurements taken in the 2009-11 drill seasons with density measurements taken from all mineral zones. Dried samples were coated with paraffin wax before being measured. The results tabulated have been sorted by lithology and mineralized veins. The average specific gravity of 5,051 wall rock samples is 2.59 while the average specific gravity for 489 samples of vein material is 2.68. CAM and Servicios y Proyectos Mineros have reviewed the procedures and results, and opine that the results are suitable for use in mineral resource estimation.

Mineral Resource Estimate - Explanation of Resource Estimation
Resource estimation was done in MineSight and MicroModel computer systems with only those composites that were inside the wireframe used in the estimate. Estimation was done using kriging with the omni-directional variogram derived from all the data in each area for gold using the relative variogram derived from the log variogram. High grades were restricted by capping the assays at a breakpoint based on the cumulative frequency curves. Estimation was done using search radii of 100 x 100 x 50 m oriented subparallel to the general strike and dip of the vein system in each area. A sector search, corresponding to the faces of the search box with a maximum of two points per sector was used in estimation. A density of 2.68 based on within vein density samples was used in the resource estimate. Within each of the four areas there are approximately 20 to 40 veins in the vein swarm. Resources were estimated by kriging using data from all veins in the swarm. In general, gold accounts for at least 80% of the value of contained metal at the project, so the variograms for gold were used in estimation of the four other metals. Mineral Resources at Tres Amigos and San Pablo were classified as Indicated as follows:
1) | they were within a vein within the swarm which contained at least 7 drill holes; |
2) | they are within 25 m of the nearest sample point; and, |
3) | they were estimated by at least three drill holes. |
All other Mineral Resources were classified as Inferred. Because there are no precise quantitative definitions of measured, indicated and inferred, resource classification is subjective and depends on the experience and judgment of the Qualified Person (“QP”) calculating the resource estimate. CAM, Mr. Sandefur QP, allowed indicated material at Tres Amigos and San Pablo because of (1) the similarity of the variograms, and (2) the fact of recent production by DynaMexico from San Pablo of some 42,000 tonnes plant feed at an average grade of approximately 15 g/t. Three of the individual veins at La Purisima satisfied criterion (1) above but Mr. Sandefur elected not to include this material in indicated because of the shorter first range at La Purisima. This Mineral Resource Estimate for SJG does not include any ore loss or dilution outside wireframes, and as currently defined, is probably most appropriate for a highly selective, small equipment underground operation.
The veins at San Jose de Gracia have been historically mined for many years and historic mined volumes are not available. The one exception is the approximate 42,000 tonnes of ore processed by DynaMexico during its pilot production activities in 2003-2006. The resource table is not adjusted for any historic mining. To validate that historic mining had not significantly reduced the resource, CAM reviewed the database for all assays greater than 1 gram per ton gold that were next to missing values at the bottom of drill holes. Only four assays satisfying this criterion were found, and on the basis of this review, CAM does not believe that significant mining has occurred within the volumes defined by the wireframes.
No Known Reserves
The SJG property is without known reserves. Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The quantity and grade of the “indicated” and “inferred” mineral resources” reported in the mineral resource estimate contained in this Form 10-Q are estimates only. There has been insufficient exploration to define any mineral reserves on the property, and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in discovery of mineral reserves.
Currently, the Company’s drilling programs are exploratory in nature.
Mineral Resource Estimate and 43-101 Technical Report - Data Verification
Mr. Luna initially visited the San Jose de Gracia Project in November 2010, and conducted site inspections at SJG in November 2011 and January 2012. Mr. Sandefur conducted a site inspection of the SJG Project in January 2012. While at the Property in November 2011, Mr. Luna inspected the areas of Tres Amigos, La Prieta, Gossan Cap, San Pablo, La Union, and La Purisima, and historic mining sites. In January 2012, Mr. Sandefur and Mr. Luna inspected the areas of Tres Amigos, San Pablo, La Union, and La Purisima. Pictures of the areas were taken. Many of the drill pads for the drilling programs of 2007 to 2011 were clearly located and identified. Mr. Luna also inspected San José de Gracia’s core logging and storage facilities, the geology offices, the meteorological station, the plant nursery, and the mill. Mr. Sandefur also inspected San José de Gracia’s core logging and storage facilities.

DynaMexico Water Concession
The Company has been informed by DynaResource de Mexico, SA de CV. (“DynaMexico”), the 100% owner of SJG, that DynaMexico has secured the Water Rights Concession for the area surrounding SJG. The Director of Water Administration of the National Water Commission of Mexico (CONAGUA) formally certified in writing the rights of DynaResource de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. to legally use, exploit and extract 1,000,000 m3 of water per year from the DynaMexico extraction infrastructure located within the perimeter of the mining concessions comprising the San Jose de Gracia Mining Property in Sinaloa State, Mexico. CONAGUA determined that the DynaMexico water rights are not subject to any water rights concession or any other water extraction restriction. Water extracted by DynaMexico will be subject to applicable levies imposed by the Mexican tax authorities in accordance with current Mexican tax laws.
Exclusive Operating Entity at San Jose de Gracia
Under agreement with DynaMexico, Mineras de DynaResource SA de CV. (“Mineras”) has been named the exclusive operating entity at the San Jose de Gracia Project. DynaResource owns 100% of Mineras.
DynaMexico General Power of Attorney
The Chairman-CEO of DynaUSA also serves as the President of DynaMexico and as the President of Mineras. And, the President of DynaMexico holds a broad power of attorney granted by the shareholders of DynaMéxico which gives the current President significant and broad authority within DynaMéxico.
Updated Mineral Resource Estimate

This work is pending.
Metallurgical Testing
During the third quarter, Mineras engaged Kappes, Cassiday & Associates, Reno, NV. (“KCA”), for the purpose of designing a metallurgical test program to confirm possible heap leach recoveries of specific mineralized areas of San Jose de Gracia. This work is pending.
Preliminary Economic Assessment Report
The Company anticipates that DynaMexico will commission at least one Preliminary Economic Assessment Report for the SJG Project in the fourth quarter of 2013.
Company Transition from Exploration to Mining – Production
The Company expects to transition its business from that of a purely exploration company, to an exploration and production company. With the foundational resource for SJG as reported in the 2012 DynaMexico-CAM SJG Mineral Resource Estimate, the Company expects DynaMexico to confirm a positive economic assessment for SJG in the Preliminary Economic Assessment Report expected to be commissioned by DynaMexico.
SEMARNAT Permission for Mill Facility at San Jose de Gracia
On June 17, 2013, DynaMexico received from the Secretaria de Medio Ambiente Y Recursos Naturales, the Federal Environmental Authority in Mexico ("SEMARNAT"), the approval and permission which allows for the rehabilitation and operation of the pilot mill facility at SJG ("the Semarnat-SJG Mill Permit," and, the "Semarnat Permit"). Under the terms of the Semarnat-SJG Mill Permit, DynaMexico will be responsible to maintain the SJG pilot mill facility, and including the adjacent tailings pond area, in compliance with the regulations described in la Norma Oficial Mexicana ("NOM-141-SEMARNAT-2003).
Rehabilitation of Pilot Mill Facility at San Jose de Gracia
Under the terms of the Exploitation Amendment Agreement (“EAA”), as described above, MinerasDyna is planning the rehabilitation and subsequent operation of the pilot mill facility at SJG. The SJG pilot mill facility (a gravimetric-flotation circuit) is projected to process bulk samples to be mined from selected target areas of SJG. Operations at SJG will be managed by Mineras, and are projected to be similar to those conducted by DynaMexico during the 2003-2006 Period.
29 |
Capital Requirements
The mining industry in general requires significant capital in order to take a property from the exploration, to development to production. These costs remain a significant barrier to entry for the average company but once in production, there is a ready market for the final products, In the case of SJG, the final product would be mainly gold, the price of which is determined by global markets, so there is not a dependence on a customer base.
Gold
Gold Uses. Gold generally is used for fabrication or investment. Fabricated gold has a variety of end uses, including jewelry, electronics, dentistry, industrial and decorative uses, medals, medallions and official coins. Gold investors buy gold bullion, official coins and jewelry.
Gold Supply. A combination of current mine production, recycling and draw-down of existing gold stocks held by governments, financial institutions, industrial organizations and private individuals make up the annual gold supply. Based on public information available for the years 2008 through 2011, on average, current mine production has accounted for approximately 64% of the annual gold supply.
Gold Price. The following table presents the annual high, low and average daily afternoon fixing prices for gold over the past ten years on the London Bullion Market ($/ounce):

Exploration and Mining Permit Requirements (Mexico)
In respect of permit requirements for mineral exploration and mining in Mexico, the most relevant applicable laws, regulations and official technical norms are the following: the Federal Mining Act, and its Regulations, the Federal Environmental Protection and Ecological Equilibrium Act, and its Regulations, the Federal Sustainable Forestry Development Act and its Regulations, the Federal Explosives and Firearms Act, the National Waters Act and the Mexican Official Norm 120.
To carry out mineral exploration activities, holders of mining concessions in Mexico are required to file at the offices of the Federal Secretariat of the Environment and Natural Resources (“SEMARNAT”) a “Notice of Commencement of Exploration Activities” under the guidelines of the Mexican Official Norm 120 (“Norm 120”). SEMARNAT is the office of the Federal Government of Mexico responsible for the review and issuance of a CSUP (referenced below), the review of a Technical Justification Study (referenced below) and the filing of Norm 120. Norm 120 is a notice to SEMARNAT only, and has no processing time.
If contemplated mineral exploration activities fall outside of the parameters defined under Norm 120, a “Change of Soil Use Permit” (“CSUP”) Application is required to be filed at the SEMARNAT under the guidelines of the Federal Sustainable Forestry Development Act and its Regulations. To meet the requirements for issuance of a CSUP, the applicant must also file a Technical Study (“Technical Justification Study”) to justify the change of soil use from forestry to mining, to demonstrate that biodiversity will not be compromised, and to demonstrate that there will be no soil erosion or water quality deterioration on completion of the mineral exploration activities.
As a pre-requisite for issuance of a CSUP, Article 118 of the Federal Sustainable Forestry Development Act provides for the posting of a bond to the Mexican Forestry Fund for remediation, restoration and reforestation of the areas impacted by the mineral exploration activities.
To carry out mining activities in Mexico, holders of mining concessions are also required to file an “Environmental Impact Assessment Study” (“Environmental Impact Study”) under the guidelines of the Federal Environmental Protection and Ecological Equilibrium Act and its Regulations, in order to evaluate the environmental impact of the contemplated mining activities.
As a pre-requisite for approval of an Environmental Impact Study, the Federal Environmental Protection and Ecological Equilibrium Act and its Regulations require the posting of a bond to guarantee remediation and rehabilitation of the areas impacted by the mining activities.
If the use of explosives materials is required for execution of mineral exploration or mining activities, an Application for General Permit for Use, Consumption and Storage of Explosive (“Explosives Permit”) is required to be filed at the offices of the Secretariat of National Defense (“SEDENA”) under the guidelines of the Federal Explosives and Firearms Act.
Under the Federal Mining Act, holders of mining concessions in Mexico have the right to the use of the water coming from the mining works. However, certification of water rights and/or issuance of water rights concessions are required from the National Water Commission (“CONAGUA”) under the guidelines of the National Waters Act.
DynaMexico Permit Filings / Permits
· | On February 10, 2003, SEDENA granted DynaMexico an Explosives Permit for the use and storage of explosives materials in SJG. |

Drilling Programs
Further drilling programs at SJG are projected for the late 2012 or spring 2013, dependent upon agreed funding arrangements, but those plans will take into consideration the recent NI 43-101 2012 DynaMexico-CAM SJG Mineral Resource Estimate and the recommendations made in the 2012 DynaMexico Luna-CAM SJG 43-101 Technical Report. Further drilling may be based upon recommendations made in the anticipated PEA report. The Company expects continued drilling at SJG in order to expand resources at San Pablo, Tres Amigos, La Cecena, Palos Chinos, La Union, La Purisima, and La Prieta. Additionally, the Company expects extensions to mineralization in all directions and down dip from the main target areas.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk.
Not applicable.
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The company carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of June 30, 2013. This evaluation was accomplished under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer / principal executive officer, and chief financial officer / principal financial officer who concluded that the company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that all material information required to be filed in the quarterly report on Form 10-Q has been made known to them.
For purposes of this section, the term disclosure controls and procedures means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act (15 U.S.C. 78a et seg.) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure, controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "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.
Based upon an evaluation conducted for the period ended June 30, 2013, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as of June 30, 2013, and as of the date of this Report, have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, we have identified no material weakness in our internal controls.
Corporate expenditures are processed and paid by officers of the Company. However, the current number of transactions incurred by the Company does not justify additional accounting staff to be retained.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate due to change in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework at June 30, 2013. Based on its evaluation, our management concluded that, as of June 30, 2013, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.
This quarterly report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to the attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this quarterly report.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
The Company has not made any changes in its internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings
On December 27, 2012, the Company, and DynaMexico, filed an Original Petition and Application for Temporary Injunction and Permanent Injunction in the 14th Judicial District Court of Dallas, Texas (the “Petition”) against Defendants Goldgroup Mining Inc., Goldgroup Resources Inc., and certain individuals acting in concert with Goldgroup (collectively “Goldgroup”). The Petition alleges, among other things, that Goldgroup has wrongfully used property, confidential information and data belonging to DynaMéxico and consistently failed to disclose several matters of material importance to the public.
The Petition requests that Goldgroup be enjoined from: (a) using or disseminating any confidential information belonging to DynaMéxico, (b) asserting that Goldgroup owns any interest in the San Jose de Gracia Project, rather than owning a common shares equity interest in DynaMéxico, (c) improperly disclosing that Goldgroup is the operator of the San Jose de Gracia Project, rather than Mineras de DynaResource SA de C.V. (“Mineras”), and (d) failing to properly disclose that broad powers of attorney for acting on behalf of DynaMéxico are held by a DynaUSA senior executive.
The Petition further requests, among other things: (a) a temporary and permanent injunction; (b) declaratory relief; (c) disgorgement of funds alleged to have been improperly raised as a consequence of Goldgroup’s wrongful actions; (d) cancellation of shares of DynaMéxico stock held by Goldgroup; and, (d) actual and punitive damages.
The Company believes the filing of the Petition to be necessary in order to protect its shareholder interests in DynaMexico and in order to protect the property, data, and assets of DynaMexico.
The Company is the plaintiff in this litigation, but the outcome is uncertain. The Company believes there is little to no potential for the assessment of a material monetary judgment against the Company.

Note 12 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements | In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income Presentation of Comprehensive Income. ASU No. 2011-05 eliminated the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of stockholders equity. It requires an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In December, 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, Comprehensive Income Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in ASU 2011-05 to defer the effective date of the specific requirement to present items that are reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income to net income alongside their respective components of net income and other comprehensive income. All other provisions of this update, which are to be applied retrospectively, are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning December 15, 2011, The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption will have on their consolidated financial statements. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. ASU 2011-11 requires entities to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements of financial instruments and derivative instruments and will be applied retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. ASU 2011-11 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption will have on its consolidated financial statements. On January 1, 2012, the Company adopted guidance issued by the FASB on accounting and disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. The guidance limits the highest-and-best-use measure to nonfinancial assets, permits certain financial assets and liabilities with offsetting positions in market or counterparty credit risks to be measured at a net basis, and provides guidance on the applicability of premiums and discounts. Additionally, the guidance expands the disclosures on Level 3 inputs by requiring quantitative disclosure of the unobservable inputs and assumptions, as well as description of the valuation processes and the sensitivity of the fair value to changes in unobservable inputs. Adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements. .. |
