AMENDMENT TO FORM 10-Q
 
This Amendment No. 1 to Form 10-Q (this "Amendment") amends our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 21, 2008.
 
As described in Note 3 to the Company’s financial statements included herein, the Company has restated its financial statements as of and for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, to revise the accounting for common stock issued in connection with the conversion on April 1, 2007 of a promissory note previously issued by the Company and services that the Company expected to receive from the holders of the promissory note.  As described in Note 3, the Company filed suit on December 23, 2008 in an effort to recover the shares of common stock issued and reached a settlement agreement on February 11, 2009, under which a portion of the shares issued were cancelled or returned to the Company.  The Company has re-stated its accounting for the issuance of the shares and has recorded a non-cash charge to income of $2,205,492 in the year ended December 31, 2007 related to the shares that will not be returned to the Company and for which the Company will not receive the services it expected.

The restatement of the Company’s financial statements, as described in Note 3, had no effect on the Company’s net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 and the quarter ended March 31, 2007.  The restatement reduced the total amount of Shareholders’ Equity by $3,230 and increased Current Liabilities by $3,230, as of March 31, 2008.  Except for these effects, the inclusion of Note 3, the related revisions to Note 6, paragraph (a) and Note 8, paragraph (e), Note 9 and the revisions in Part I, Item 2, Management discussion and analysis, this Amendment No. 1 and the Company’s financial statements included herein are unchanged from the Report previously filed.
 
This Amendment contains the complete text of the original report with the corrected information appearing in the financial statements and in Part I, Item 2, Management discussion and analysis.

DOMINION MINERALS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(FORMERLY EMPIRE MINERALS CORP.)
(AN EXPLORATION COMPANY)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2008
(UNAUDITED)

1.             
Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

 
a.
Nature of Business – Dominion Minerals Corp. (“Company”) (formerly known as Empire Minerals Corp.) was incorporated January 4, 1996 under the laws of Delaware. The Company is engaged in the exploration of precious and base metals including gold and copper.  All potential properties currently under exploration are located in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) and Panama.

From September 2005 to November 2007, the Company changed its name 4 times to reflect the changing business plans. The original name of the Company was Objectsoft Corporation.  In June 2005, the name was changed to Nanergy, Inc. In, June 2006, the name was changed to Xacord Corp, in January 2007, the name was changed to Empire Minerals Corp, and in November 2007, the name was changed to its current name, Dominion Minerals Corp.

On February 20, 2007, the Company completed a triangular reverse merger with Empire Minerals Corp., a Nevada Corporation (formerly Empire Gold Corp. and referred to as “Subsidiary”) and Xacord Acquisition Sub Corp, then the Company’s subsidiary (“Xacord”). All 26,504,000 shares in the Subsidiary were exchanged for 26,504,000 shares in the Company. Additionally, 5,950,000 warrants in the Subsidiary were exchanged for 5,950,000 warrants in the Company. The Subsidiary was the accounting acquirer and the Company was the legal acquirer. The transaction was accounted for as a reverse merger and recapitalization. As such, the accompanying financial statements reflect the historical operations of the Subsidiary in the capital structure of the Company at the beginning of the first period presented herein.

 
b.
Basis of Presentation – The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries Empire Minerals Corp., 50% owned Zhaoyuan Dongxing Gold Mining Co., Ltd. (“Dongxing”), and 70% owned Empire (Tianjin) Resources Co., Ltd. (“Tianjin”) (together the “Subsidiaries”). All significant inter-company transactions and balances are eliminated upon consolidation.  Minority interest has not been presented on the consolidated balance sheet because accumulated losses have exceeded the minority shareholders’ equity.  In accordance with APB No. 18, the minority interest has been written down to zero on the accompanying balance sheet.

The Company is currently in an exploration stage, which is characterized by significant expenditures for the examination and development of exploration opportunities by its Subsidiaries.  The Subsidiaries' focus for the foreseeable future will continue to be on securing joint venture agreements within the People’s Republic of China and Panama to begin conducting mining operations.

 
c.
Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures, such as the fair value of warrants and stock issued for services as well as various accruals, for example, we must calculate the fair value of options granted based on various assumptions.  Accordingly, the actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
-5-

 
 
d.
Fair value of financial instruments – On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157.  SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosures requirements for fair value measures.  The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for current assets and current liabilities qualify as financial instruments are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest.  The three levels are defined as follow:

      
Level 1   inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
      
Level 2   inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.
      
Level 3   inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.

The Company invested $4,440,722 to Cuprum Resources Corp. as of March 31, 2008. Since there is no quoted or observable market price for the fair value of similar long term in joint venture, the Company then used the level 3 inputs for its valuation methodology. The determination of the fair value was based on the cost of the capital contribution to the investment.
 
As of March 31, 2008, the Company did not identify any assets and liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 157.

 
e.
Cash and Cash Equivalents – For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company defines cash equivalents as all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less.

 
f.
Advances – From time to time, the Company advances funds to its consultants and business partners to further the Company’s business plans.  Management monitors these advances to ensure appropriate progress is made pursuant to the funding terms.  Additionally, management evaluates the collectibility of these monies and records reserves if collections are in doubt.

 
g.
Concentration of risk – Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist of cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its cash with high quality financial institutions and at times may exceed the FDIC $100,000 insurance limit. The Company has limited experience as it is an exploration stage company but does not anticipate incurring any losses related to this credit risk.  As of March 31, 2008, the Company had amounts in bank accounts in excess of FDIC insurance of $1,188,101.

The Company has gold mining activities in People’s Repbulic of China (“PRC”).  Accordingly, the Company’s mining business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC’s economy.  The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in the North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environments and foreign currency exchange.  The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.
 
-6-

 
 
h.
Net Loss Per Share – In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 128, Earnings Per Share, an basic earnings/loss per common share (EPS) is computed by dividing net loss for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Under SFAS 128, diluted earnings/loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and dilutive.

The following is a reconciliation of the basic and diluted loss per share computations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007:

Diluted
  $ 0.04     $ 0.09  
 
All warrants and options were excluded from the diluted loss per share due to the anti-diluted effect.

 
i.
Income Taxes – The Company provides for income taxes under SFAS 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted income tax rate expected to apply to taxable income in the period in which the deferred tax liability or assets is expected to be settled or realized.  SFAS 109 requires that a valuation allowance be established if necessary, to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that management believes is more likely than not to be realized.  The provision for federal income tax differs from that computed amount by applying federal statutory rates to income before federal income tax expense mainly due to expenses that are not deductible and income that is not taxable for federal income taxes, including permanent differences such as non-deductible meals and entertainment.

-7-

 
 
j.
Stock based compensation – For stock, options and warrants issued to service providers, employees and founders, the Company follows SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, and EITF 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services, which requires recording the options and warrants at the fair value of the service provided and expensing over the related service period.
 
 
k.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (“FAS 159”). FAS 159 permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. The objective of FAS 159 is to provide opportunities to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply hedge accounting provisions. FAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The Company adopted SFAS No. 159 on January 1, 2008.  The Company chose not to elect the option to measure the fair value of eligible financial assets and liabilities.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,“Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51” (“SFAS 160”), which establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest and the valuation of retained non-controlling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. The Statement also establishes reporting requirements that provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company has not determined the effect that the application of SFAS 160 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141(R), Business Combinations, was issued. SFAS No. 141R replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. SFAS 141R retains the fundamental requirements in SFAS 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which SFAS 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. SFAS 141R requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions. This replaces SFAS 141’s cost-allocation process, which required the cost of an acquisition to be allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. SFAS 141R also requires the acquirer in a business combination achieved in stages (sometimes referred to as a step acquisition) to recognize the identifiable assets and liabilities, as well as the noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, at the full amounts of their fair values (or other amounts determined in accordance with SFAS 141R). SFAS 141R applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. An entity may not apply it before that date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adopting SFAS No. 141R will have on its financial statements.
 
-8-

 
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“SFAS 161”), which changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company has not determined the effect that the application of SFAS 161 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
 
 
l.
Equipment – Equipment is stated at cost and is depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of five years.  Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.  The estimated service lives of equipment and vehicles are as follows:
 
   
Depreciable life 
 
 
Exploration equipment 
5 years
 
 
Office equipment 
5 years
 
 
Vehicles 
5 years 
 
 
 
m.
Impairment for long lived assets – SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long−Lived Assets” requires that long−lived assets to be disposed of by sale, including those of discontinued operations, be measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, whether reported in continuing operations or in discontinued operations. SFAS No. 144 broadens the reporting of discontinued operations to include all components of an entity with operations that can be distinguished from the rest of the entity and that will be eliminated from the ongoing operations of the entity in a disposal transaction. SFAS No. 144 also establishes a "primary−asset" approach to determine the cash flow estimation period for a group of assets and liabilities that represents the unit of accounting for a long−lived asset to be held and used. The Company has no impairment issues to disclose.
     
 
n. 
Foreign currency translation – The reporting currency of the Company is US dollar.  Dongxing and Tianjin use their local currency RMB, as their functional currency. Results of operations and cash flows are translated at average exchange rates during the period, assets and liabilities are translated at the unified exchange rate as quoted by the People’s Bank of China at the end of the period, and equity is translated at historical exchange rates. 

Translation adjustments amounted to $46,343 gain as of March 31, 2008. Asset and liability accounts at March 31, 2008 were translated at 7.00 RMB to $1.00. Equity accounts were stated at their historical rate. The average translation rates applied to income statement accounts and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, and from inception (March 1, 2006) to March 31, 2008 were 7.15 RMB, 7.75 RMB and 7.67 RMB to $1.00, respectively. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 95, "Statement of Cash Flows," cash flows from the Company's operations is calculated based upon the local currencies using the average translation rate. Because cash flows are translated at average translation rates for the period, amounts reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.

Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred. For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, and from inception (March 1, 2006) to March 31, 2008, total transaction loss amounted to $1,048, $0 and $12,128 respectively.

2.             
Going Concern

The Company is an exploration stage company and therefore has had no revenues or cash flows from operations. The Company has an accumulated deficit of approximately $11.0 million as of March 31, 2008 and has insufficient sources of cash to execute its business plan, raising substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. In response to these conditions, management is continuing to seek both debt and equity financing from various sources, although there are no guarantees that they will be successful in their endeavors. No adjustment has been made to the accompanying financial statements as a result of this uncertainty.
 
3.            
Restatement – Conversion of Promissory Note, Issuance of Common Stock, Litigation      and Partial Recovery of Common Stock Shares issued

As discussed in the Company’s Report on Form 8-K filed on April 22, 2009, theCompany has concluded, based    on further review, that it should restate the accounting for the issuance of 7,925,000 shares of its common stock under agreements entered into on April 1, 2007 for the conversion of a promissory note, previously issued by the Company and discussed below.  The transaction was previously reported as the conversion of the outstanding balance of the promissory note, including accrued interest, of $106,071, at that carrying value, into 7,925,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, representing a conversion price of $0.013 per share.  The Company has concluded that the accounting for the transaction should have been recorded at the fair value of the common stock issued and the Company should have recognized the value of services that, at that time, the Company expected to receive from the holders of the promissory note.  The Company has not received the services that it expected to receive and on December 23, 2008, the Company filed suit in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, seeking return of the shares issued and other relief.  On February 11, 2009, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement of that suit, as a result of which a total of 3,308,333 of the 7,925,000 shares originally issued will be returned to the Company or otherwise cancelled and the Company will make payments aggregating $63,230 to the defendants, as more fully discussed below.  Reflecting the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the Company has restated its financial statements to record the shares issued at their estimated fair value and to recognize a loss of $2,205,492 as of April 1, 2007, the date of the agreements under which the shares were issued, as discussed below.

On February 14, 2001, the Company (which was then known as ObjectSoft Corporation) executed the promissory note (the “Note”) in the amount of $100,000 to Jay N. Goldberg (the “Original Holder”). The Note, which was due on March 16, 2001 (the “Maturity Date”), accrued interest at 12% per annum and, in the event of default, accrued interest at 20% per annum. The principal plus all accrued and unpaid interest was payable in cash on the Maturity Date or, at the option of the holder, was convertible into equity securities of the Company to be issued to certain institutional investors in a proposed private placement expected to be completed at or prior to the Maturity Date.
 
-10-

 
On May 30, 2001, the Company and the Original Holder executed an Allonge and Amendment to Promissory Note, amending the Maturity Date to December 31, 2001.  The Original Holder also waived any Events of Default that may have occurred and agreed to cooperate with the Company in a potential restructuring of the Company or other transaction pursuant to which the terms of the Note may be restructured.  This restructuring was unsuccessful.  In July 2001, ObjectSoft filed a Bankruptcy Petition in the Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey and, in November of 2004, emerged from the Bankruptcy filing with no assets and a single liability for the principal amount of the Note of $100,000.  None of our present officers, directors or employees were associated with us at the time of, or involved in any way in, the bankruptcy proceeding.

On November 16, 2004, the Original Holder executed an “Assignment and Endorsement of Note” and assigned all of the Original Holder’s right, title and interest in and to the Note, to Securities Acquisition New York, LLC (“SANY”).   Prior to June 2006, with the agreement of the then management of the Company, SANY converted $32,300 of the principal amount of the Note into 807,500 shares of common stock of the Company (as adjusted for subsequent stock splits), at an effective conversion price of $0.04 per share.  On October 26, 2006, SANY executed an “Agreement of Assignment of Note” and assigned all of their right, title and interest in and to the Note to West Greenwood Foundation (“WGF”).   On the date of assignment, the principal balance was $67,700 and the amount of accrued interest was $28,170.
 
The Company previously entered into consulting agreements with Saddle River Associates (“SRA”) for general business consulting and financial advisory services.  SRA introduced the Company to Xacord Corporation (as ObjectSoft was then known), which entity had originally issued the Note and with whom we completed the reverse triangular merger on February 20, 2007 (see Note 1a).  In addition, SRA advised the Company of the opportunity to invest in the Exploration and Development Agreement with Bellhaven Copper & Gold, Inc., which Agreement is described in Note 5.
 
Following our reverse triangular merger on February 20, 2007 (see Note 1a), on April 1, 2007, WGF and various entities and individuals (“designees”), which designees simultaneously purchased various interests in the Note from WGF, requested to convert the outstanding balance of the Note of $106,071 ($67,700 of principle and $38,371 of accrued interest) into 7,925,000 shares of our common stock, representing a conversion rate of approximately $0.013 per share.  The Company was advised by SRA that these designees would be able to provide the Company with expertise and assistance to further the development of the Company’s Panamanian Exploration and Development Agreement with Bellhaven.  Consequently, the Company agreed to the conversion and the Note was cancelled.

-11-

 
Over time, the Company has become aware that the designees did not possess the expertise necessary to provide the services that the Company expected that it would receive to assist it with its Panamanian operations.   On December 23, 2008, the Company filed suit in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, against SRA, WGF and the designees, seeking return of the shares issued for conversion of the Note and other relief.  The written agreements related to conversion of the Note did not refer to the provision of any services by the holders of the Note and the defendants asserted that no such agreement related to future services existed.  Notwithstanding that assertion, the defendants agreed to return a portion of the shares issued and on February 11, 2009, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement with the defendants.  The Company concluded that it was in its best interests to accept the terms of the Settlement Agreement, rather than continue to litigate the matter.  As a result of the Settlement Agreement, of the 7,925,000 shares originally issued, 1,000,000 shares will be cancelled and a further 2,308,333 shares (one-third of the remaining shares issued of 6,925,000) will be returned to the Company.  The Company will make payments aggregating $63,230 to the defendants, representing (1) payment of principal and interest on the Note from April 2007 to the date of the Settlement Agreement for that portion of the Note for which shares are being returned and (2) outstanding consulting fees due to SRA of $25,000.

The Company originally accounted for the conversion of the Note based on the written terms of the agreements with WGF and the designees and recorded the common shares issued at the carrying amount of the note.  However, to reflect the company’s expectation that it would also receive future services in addition to the conversion of the Note, the 7,925,000 shares issued should have been recorded at their fair value.  On April 1, 2007, the closing price of the Company’s common stock was $2.50 per share.  Although the Company’s common stock is publically traded, the trading volume is small; during the two year period ended December 31, 2007, the total trading volume of our common stock was less than 250,000 shares.  In various private placements of the Company’s common stock that occurred between April 2006 and October 2007, the Company sold an aggregate of 12,819,000 shares of its common stock for cash, each placement at a price of $0.50 per share.  Because the 7,925,000 shares issued represents a number of shares substantially in excess of the Company’s historical trading volume, the Company believes that the price of $0.50 per share at which it has effected private placements is a more reasonable estimate of fair value for the 7,925,000 shares issued than the quoted market price. Accordingly, the Company has restated its financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2007 and all subsequent periods to reflect the April 2007 issuance of the 7,925,000 shares at a fair value of $0.50 per share or an aggregate of $3,962,500.
 
As discussed above, the written terms of the Note provide for conversion only if a private placement was completed at or prior to maturity of the Note on December 31, 2001.  The Note bears interest at 12% and accordingly the carrying value of the Note together with accrued interest at the date of conversion is considered to be a reasonable approximation of the fair value of the Note as of that date.  In relation to the services that the Company expected to receive from the designees, EITF Issue 96-18 provides that the fair value of shares issued to non-employees for services to be performed should be determined as of the earlier of the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the shares is reached or the date at which their performance is complete.  EITF Issue 00-18 further provides that where there are no specific performance criteria required by the recipient in order to retain the shares issued, a measurement date has been reached and the shares should be valued as of the date of the agreement.  The Company expected that the designees would provide their services over the multi-year life of the Company’s Panamanian operations but no specific performance criteria were established.  Accordingly, the Company has valued the services it expected to receive based on the fair value of the common shares at the time they were issued, which as discussed above has been estimated at $0.50 per share.  The difference of $3,856,429 between the fair value of the shares issued of $3,962,500 and the carrying value of the Note at the date of conversion of $106,071, which carrying value is considered to be a reasonable approximation of its fair value at that date, has been allocated as the value of the services the Company expected to receive.

From August 2007 to March 2008, the Company received a total of $2,296,420 in cash, netted of $11,080 loss in currency exchange, and the cancellation of a Promissory Note in the amount of $500,000, for the sale of 5,615,000 Special Warrants offered by the Company at a price of $0.50 per Special Warrant.  Each Special Warrant is convertible into one share of common stock and one half of one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”).  Each Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.65 for a two-year term. The Special Warrants Agreement includes an addendum requires the Company (i) to register the shares underlying both the converted shares and the warrants, (ii) to complete a registration statement to be filed within 150 days, and (iii) effective within 210 days. The Agreement imposes cash penalties of 2% per 30 day period for non-compliance. The potential registration penalties should be accounted for in accordance with FSP EITF 00-19-2. That FSP requires that the penalties be accounted for in accordance with FAS 5, that is, they are recognized when they are “probable” and can be “reasonably estimated”, which may be at inception. As of March 31, 2008, the Company has not filed the registration statement and has accrued $91,825 in liquidated damages which have been  expensed during the current period.

On November 25, 2007, the Company granted stock options  to purchase up to 5,400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to management and employees of the Company, pursuant to the Company’s 2007 Employee Incentive Plan. The stock options have an exercise price of $0.50 per shares for a five-year term.

In November 2007, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted and approved the 2007 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) which authorized the issuance of up to 6,750,000 shares under the Plan. The fair values of stock options granted to employees were estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

The Company determined its expected volatility and dividend yield based on the historical changes in stock price and dividend payments. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The Company determined the option’s expected life based on historical exercise behavior.

9.             Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial statement purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.  Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities at March 31, 2008 are as follows:

Net operating loss for the three months ended March 31, 2008
  $ 1,781,605  
Effective income tax rate
    40 %
         Total deferred tax assets
    712,642  
Less: valuation allowance
    (712,642 )
         Total deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2008
  $ -  
         
Net operating loss for the three ended March 31, 2007
  $ 2,391,890  
Effective income tax rate
    40 %
         Total deferred tax assets
    956,756  
Less: valuation allowance
    (956,756 )
         Total deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2007
  $ -  
Net operating loss from inception (March 1, 2006) to March 31, 2008
    11,899,133  
Effective income tax rate
    40 %
         Total deferred tax assets
    4,759,653  
Less: valuation allowance
    (4,759,653 )
         Total deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2008
  $ -  



The Company’s deferred tax asset as March 31, 2008 of $712,642 was fully offset by a valuation allowance, resulting in a net deferred tax asset of $0 because of the uncertainty of the Company’s ability to utilize the net operating loss carryforward against future earnings.

The reconciliation of the effective income tax rate to the federal statutory rate for the period ended March 31, 2008 is as follows:


 
Federal income tax rate
    34 %  
 
State tax, net of federal benefit
    6 %  
 
Increase in valuation allowance
    (40 ) %  
 
Effective income tax rate
    - %  

The deferred tax assets result from net operating loss carry-forwards. These assets will therefore reverse either upon their utilization against taxable income or upon their statutory expiration. Net operating loss carry-forwards will expire beginning in 2020 through 2027.

Overview of Business

The Company was formed as a Delaware corporation on January 4, 1996 under the name ObjectSoft Corporation. On May 9, 2005, The Company changed its name to Nanergy, Inc. On June 5, 2006, its name was changed to Xacord Corp. On January 3, 2007, the Company changed it's name to Empire Minerals Corp., and in November 2007, the name was changed to its current name, Dominion Minerals Corp.
 
We were originally formed in January of 1996 to acquire the business of a predecessor company, Object Soft Corporation, a New Jersey Corporation. This acquisition was completed in the form of a corporate business combination effective January 31, 1996. The acquired business involved the provision of retail Kiosks, which were internet-connected, advertising-interactive Kiosks. The Kiosks were public access terminals that offered terminals that offered information entertainment and the ability to execute financial transactions via a touch screen. This business was unsuccessful and in July of 2001, we filed a Bankruptcy Petition in the Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey. None of our present officers, directors or significant employees were associated with us at the time of or involved in any way in our bankruptcy proceeding. In November of 2004, we exited the Bankruptcy case with no assets, one liability in the form of a convertible promissory note with a principal balance of $100,000.00 and outstanding stock of 195 shares of common stock. We then operated as a shell corporation seeking a new business opportunity either through a corporate business combination or an acquisition of assets.

In September of 2005, we were a party to a business combination in which we acquired the ownership of a New Jersey corporation holding licenses, patents and developments to certain photovoltaic processes. In this transaction, the Company issued 99,455 shares of our common stock. The Company also agreed to issue additional shares of common stock and stock options, if certain economic milestones were met by December 31, 2006. These economic milestones were not met. In 2006, we abandoned our efforts to develop the involved processes.
 
On February 20, 2007 we completed a business combination in which we acquired all of the outstanding stock of the Nevada Subsidiary in exchange for shares of our common stock. The combination was structured as a three-party merger in which:
 
(A)
The Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of the Nevada Subsidiary;
 
(B)
A Nevada corporation named Xacord Acquisitions Sub Corp. formed and wholly owned by the Company to be used as a vehicle for the transaction was merged into the Nevada Subsidiary;
 
(C)
The outstanding shares of the common stock of the Nevada Subsidiary as of the Effective Time of the merger were converted into shares of the common stock of the Company on a share for share basis with a total of 26,504,000 shares of the Company's stock issued in this conversion;
 
(D)
The Company assumed four warrants issued by the Nevada Subsidiary to purchase up to a total of 4,500,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at $0.10 per share during a three year term. These warrants were held as follows: (i) a warrant for 2,000,000 shares was held by Saddle River Associates, Inc., a financial and business consultant to the Company; (ii) an additional warrant for 500,000 shares was held by Saddle River Associates, Inc.; (iii) a warrant for 1,500,000 shares was held by Pinchas Althaus, President and a director of the Company; and (iv) a warrant for 50,000 shares was held by Chaya Schreiber, a former shareholder of the Nevada Subsidiary. The warrant to purchase 50,000 shares was exercised on March 2, 2007. The remaining three warrants for 4,000,000 were canceled by mutual agreement of the parties on June 1, 2007.
 
The Company assumed a contingent obligation of the Nevada Subsidiary to issue warrants to Saddle River Associates, Inc. to purchase up to 500,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at $0.50 per share during a five-year term from issuance, if the Company obtains specified amounts of additional capital; and the Company acquired the rights of the Nevada Subsidiary under a Letter of Intent to enter into the agreements relating to the acquisition of the majority interest in the Panamanian corporation holding the concession to the copper prospect.
 
 
The following diagrams set forth the organizational status of the Company and the Nevada Subsidiary before and after the completion of their business combination.

The Company is engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development and operation of mineral and natural resource properties and prospects. The present activities are concentrated on mineral prospects and properties located in the Republic of Panama and in the People's Republic of China.
 
The Company has entered into an agreement with Bellhaven Copper & Gold, Inc., a British corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, Cuprum Resources, Corp., a Panamanian corporation. Under this agreement, the Company may acquire a majority ownership interest in Cuprum Resources, Corp. Cuprum holds a mineral Concession from the Republic of Panama on a copper prospect located in the Guariviara Area of Panama.
 
The Nevada Subsidiary has entered into two joint venture agreements involving mineral properties and/or prospects located within China. These properties are primarily regarded as gold prospects or properties. One of the Chinese joint venture agreements of the Nevada Subsidiary is with Zhaoyuan Dongxing Gold Minerals Co., Ltd, an entity organized under the China Company Law. Under this agreement, the parties have formed Zhaoyuan Empire Gold Corp., Ltd., a Chinese entity in which they each own a 50% interest subject to future adjustment. This jointly held entity holds three mining leases from the Chinese government on gold prospects located in the Shandong Province of China along with certain mining and mill equipment. The other joint venture agreement of the Nevada Subsidiary is with the Tianjin Institute of Geology, a Chinese legal entity. Under this agreement the parties have formed a Chinese limited liability company named Empire (Tianjin) Resources Co., Ltd. This entity was formed to acquire mineral interests in and explore, develop and, if warranted, conduct mining operations on mineral properties located in the Inner Mongolian Autonomous Region of Tianjin Province in the Peoples Republic of China. The Nevada Subsidiary holds a 70% interest in this entity subject to future adjustment to reflect the parties' respective capital contributions.

-29-

 
The proposed operations of the two Chinese Joint Ventures and the acquisition of the majority interest in the Cuprum Resources, Corp. and operations on the Panamanian prospect will require our expenditure of materially more capital than is presently available to us. Our proposed operations include:
 
 
·
Supervising, and if necessary providing or procuring additional financing for, the operations of the two Chinese Joint Ventures;
 
 
·
Acquiring the majority interest in the Panamanian corporation holding the mineral concession and providing financing for and supervising its operations;
 
 
·
Exploring and evaluating additional mineral and natural resource acquisitions; and
 
 
·
Seeking the necessary additional capital to finance activities.

Going Concern

The report of our independent auditors in our December 31, 2007 financial statements includes an explanatory paragraph indicating that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern due to recurring losses from operations, an accumulated deficit of approximately $11,900,000 at March 31, 2008 and having insufficient sources of cash to execute our business plan. Our ability to continue as a going concern will be determined by our ability to raise adequate funds.  In response to these conditions, we are continuing to seek both debt and equity financing from various sources, although there are no guarantees that we will be successful in our endeavors.  Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures, such as the fair value of warrants and stock issued for services as well as various accruals, for example, we must calculate the fair value of options granted based on various assumptions.  Accordingly, the actual results could differ from those estimates. We have identified certain accounting policies that are most important to the portrayal of our current financial condition and results of operations. Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 1 of the Notes to the Financial Statements.
 
Several of those critical accounting policies are as follows. Please refer to Note 1, Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies, including Note 1b, Basis of Presentation; Note 1c, Use of Estimates; Note 1d, Fair Value of Financial Instruments; and Note 1i, Income Taxes.

For the three months ended March 31, 2008, other employee compensation expense totaled $931,364 as compared to 0 for the three months ended March 31, 2007.  This increase of $931,264 is due to the grants of Stock Options under the 2007 Employee Incentive Plan, to our management and an employee.  The fair values of the options granted were estimated at the date of the grant utilizing the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

For the three months ended March 31, 2008, loan costs totaled $221,847 as compared to 0 for the three months ended March 31, 2007.  This increase of $221,847 is due to amortized costs recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2008, for Convertible Promissory Notes entered into by us, during the year ended 2007 and the three months ended March 31, 2008.

For the three months ended March 31, 2008, liquidated damage expense totaled $111,825 as compared to 0 for the three months ended March 31, 2007.  This increase of $111,825 is due to the penalties incurred pursuant to the Special Warrants issued.
