3. Sulfatos Acquisition

On February 15, 2012, Bluestone purchased a 60% equity interest in Sulfatos Chile from Santa Teresa Minerals S.A., a Chilean corporation ("Santa Teresa Minerals"). The purchase price for the equity interest was: (a) a 20% interest in Bluestone; (b) $2.2 million, with $1.1 million paid by assumption of a demand loan payable by Santa Teresa Minerals to Angelique de Maison, and the balance of $1.1 million to be paid in monthly installments from time to time upon demand by Santa Teresa Minerals. As of December 31, 2012, the entire purchase price had been paid. On October 16, 2012 Angelique de Maison entered into an agreement with Santa Teresa Minerals pursuant to which Santa Teresa Minerals waived and released any claim to any equity interests in Bluestone or Lustros and their affiliated companies, with Bluestone and Lustros Inc. express third party beneficiaries of that waiver and release. As such, Santa Teresa Minerals' 20% interest in Bluestone has been cancelled, and Bluestone is a wholly owned subsidiary of Lustros.

 

At the time of the Sulfatos Acquisition, Bluestone was an affiliate of Santa Teresa Minerals because substantially all of the equity interests of Bluestone were owned by Juan Carlos Camus Villegas and Angelique de Maison, who were officers and/or directors of Santa Teresa Minerals and its parent holding company and were principal shareholders of the parent holding company.

 

The Sulfatos Acquisition has been treated as an "asset purchase" for financial reporting purposes. Because the Sulfatos Acquisition was between related parties, the purchase price has been allocated to additional paid-in capital and the assets and liabilities were carried over at historical costs. Results of operations for Sulfatos have been reflected in the Company's financial statements from the closing date.
