Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
March 31, 2023
1. Nature of Business
Inception Mining, Inc. (formerly known as Gold American Mining Corp.) was incorporated under the name of Golf Alliance Corporation and under the laws of the State of Nevada on July 2, 2007.

COVID-19 - The challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy increased significantly as the first quarter of 2020 progressed. COVID-19 has spread across the globe during 2020 and is impacting economic activity worldwide. In response to COVID-19, national and local governments around the world have instituted certain measures, including travel bans, prohibitions on group events and gatherings, shutdowns of certain businesses, curfews, shelter-in-place orders and recommendations to practice social distancing. Based on management’s assessment as of March 31, 2023, the ultimate impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows is dependent on future developments, including the duration of the pandemic and the related length of its impact on the global economy, which are uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Going
Concern - The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the
realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements, the Company had net income of $
The Company’s existence is dependent upon management’s ability to develop profitable operations and to obtain additional funding sources. There can be no assurance that the Company’s financing efforts will result in profitable operations or the resolution of the Company’s liquidity problems. The accompanying statements do not include any adjustments that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Management is currently working to make changes that will result in profitable operations and to obtain additional funding sources to meet the Company’s need for cash during the next twelve months and beyond.
Principles of Consolidation - The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Inception Mining, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Inception Development, Corp., Clavo Rico Development Corp., Clavo Rico, Ltd. and Compañía Minera Cerros del Río, S.A. de C.V., and its controlling interest subsidiaries, Compañía Minera Cerros del Sur, S.A. de C.V. and Compañía Minera Clavo Rico, S.A. de C.V. (collectively, the “Company”) until the divestiture of the subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Basis of Presentation - The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Condensed Financial Statements - The interim consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Inception Mining Inc. (“Inception Mining” or the “Company”) without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in this filing and the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC on April 17, 2023.
| F-6 |
In the opinion of management, all adjustments have been made consisting of normal recurring adjustments and consolidating entries, necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2023, the results of its consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, its condensed consolidated statement of stockholders’ deficit and its consolidated cash flows for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023. The results of consolidated operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.
Use of Estimates – In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenditures during the reported periods. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Estimates may include those pertaining to valuation of inventories and mineralized material on leach pads, the estimated useful lives and valuation of properties, plant and equipment, mineral rights and properties, deferred tax assets, convertible preferred stock, derivative assets and liabilities, reclamation liabilities, stock-based compensation and payments, and contingent liabilities.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months
or less to be cash equivalents. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had $
Settlement of Contracts in Company’s Equity– In accordance with ASC 815-40-25, the Company must meet certain requirements in order to report contracts as equity versus liabilities. These requirements must be met by the Company or the contracts need to be reported as liabilities. The Company has adopted the sequencing approach as guidance on contracts that permit partial net share settlement. The Company evaluates the contracts based on the earliest issuance date. Currently, the Company doesn’t have any items that are reported as equity instead of liabilities.
Fair Value Measurements - The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that could be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Financial assets are marked to bid prices and financial liabilities are marked to offer prices. The fair value should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity. In addition, the fair value of liabilities should include consideration of non-performance risk, including the party’s own credit risk.
| F-7 |
Fair value measurements do not include transaction costs. A fair value hierarchy is used to prioritize the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy is defined into the following three categories:
| Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. | |
| Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. | |
| Level 3: Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities. |
To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is disclosed and is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The carrying value of the Company’s cash, accounts payable, short-term borrowings (including convertible notes payable), and other current assets and liabilities approximate fair value because of their short-term maturity.
The fair value of financial instruments on March 31, 2023 are summarized below:
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | |||||||||||||
| Warrant liabilities | $ | $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||
| Total Liabilities | $ | $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||

The Company recognizes its derivative liabilities as level 3 and values its derivatives using the methods discussed below. While the Company believes that its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, it recognizes that the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date. The primary assumptions that would significantly affect the fair values using the methods discussed below are that of volatility and market price of the underlying common stock of the Company.
Marketable Securities - We measure the fair value of marketable securities in accordance with ASC 825-10 – Financial Instruments. Any change in the fair value is recognized in net income in the period being reported.
Notes Receivable - Notes receivable include
amounts due to the Company pursuant to financial agreements stipulating interest rates, payment terms and maturity dates. As of March
31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, Note’s receivable balance includes one note due from Mother Load Mining, Inc. in the amounts of
$
Long-Lived Assets - We review the carrying amount of our long-lived assets for impairment whenever there are negative indicators of impairment. An asset is considered impaired when estimated future cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset. In the event the carrying amount of such asset is not considered recoverable, the asset is adjusted to its fair value. Fair value is generally determined based on discounted future cash flows.
Properties, Plant and Equipment - We record properties, plant and equipment at historical cost. We provide depreciation and amortization in amounts sufficient to match the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated service lives or productive value. We capitalize expenditures for improvements that significantly extend the useful life of an asset. We charge expenditures for maintenance and repairs to operations when incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives as follows:
| Building | ||||
| Vehicles and equipment | ||||
| Furniture and fixtures |
Stock Issued for Goods and Services - Common and preferred shares issued for goods and services are valued based upon the fair market value of our common stock or the goods and services received.

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) – Other Comprehensive income (loss) is made up of the exchange differences arising on translating foreign operations, unrealized losses on marketable securities and the net loss for the three-months ending March 31, 2023 and 2022.
Derivative Liabilities - Derivative liabilities are recorded at fair value when issued and the subsequent change in fair value each period is recorded in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations.
Income Taxes - The Company’s income tax expense and deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect management’s best assessment of estimated future taxes to be paid. Significant judgments and estimates are required in determining the consolidated income tax expense.
Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between the tax and financial statement recognition of revenue and expense. In evaluating the Company’s ability to recover its deferred tax assets, management considers all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. In projecting future taxable income, the Company develops assumptions including the amount of future state and federal pretax operating income, the reversal of temporary differences, and the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. These assumptions require significant judgment about the forecasts of future taxable income and are consistent with the plans and estimates that the Company is using to manage the underlying businesses. The Company provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which the Company does not consider realization of such deferred tax assets to be more likely than not.
Changes in tax laws and rates could also affect recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities in the future. Management is not aware of any such changes that would have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

Financial Statement Reclassification – Certain account balances from prior periods have been reclassified in these consolidated financial statements to conform to current period classifications. Some related party notes payable were reclassified from current to long-term.
Operating Lease – The Company leases its corporate headquarters and administrative offices in Salt Lake City, Utah. This lease expires in August 2024.
The supplemental balance sheet information related to the operating lease for the periods is as follows:

Non-Controlling Interest Policy – Non-controlling interest (NCI) is the portion of equity ownership in a subsidiary not attributable to the parent company, who has a controlling interest and consolidates the subsidiary’s financial results with its own. The amount of equity relating to the non-controlling interest is separately identified in the equity section of the balance sheet and the amount of the net income (loss) relating to the non-controlling interest is separately identified on the statement of operations.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements – From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by FASB that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. If not discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.
| F-10 |
3. Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company adopted the provisions of ASC subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825-10”) on January 1, 2008. ASC 825-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of non-performance. ASC 825-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
The following table provides a summary of changes in fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities as of March 31, 2023:
| Debt Derivative Liabilities | ||||
| Balance, December 31, 2022 | $ | |||
| Transfers in upon initial fair value of derivative liabilities | ||||
| Change in fair value of derivative liabilities and warrant liability | ( | ) | ||
| Balance, March 31, 2023 | $ | |||
Derivative Liabilities – The Company issued convertible promissory notes which are convertible into common stock, at holders’ option, at a discount to the market price of the Company’s common stock. The Company has identified the embedded derivatives related to these notes relating to certain anti-dilutive (reset) provisions. These embedded derivatives included certain conversion features. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record fair value of the derivatives as of the inception date of debenture and to fair value as of each subsequent reporting date.
At
March 31, 2023, the Company marked to market the fair value of the debt derivatives and determined a fair value of $
Based upon ASC 840-15-25 (EITF Issue 00-19, paragraph 11) the Company has adopted a sequencing approach regarding the application of ASC 815-40 to its outstanding convertible notes. Pursuant to the sequencing approach, the Company evaluates its contracts based upon earliest issuance date.
Warrant Liabilities – Prior to the periods being reported, the Company issued warrants in conjunction with the issuance of three Crown Bridge Convertible Notes and a Convertible Note with an investor. These warrants contained certain reset provisions. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments required that the Company record fair value of the derivatives as of the inception date (issuance date) and to fair value as of each subsequent reporting date.
At
March 31, 2023, the Company had a warrant liability of $

Overview and Plan of Operation
Overview
We are a mining company that was formed in Nevada on July 2, 2007. Historically operated two mining projects and currently operate as a consultant and advisor to the mining industry. Additionally, we have been engaged in the production of precious metals. From 2013 to 2020, the Company owned certain real property and the associated exploration permits and mineral rights commonly known as the UP and Burlington Gold Mine in Idaho (“UP and Burlington”). From 2015 through January 24, 2023, the Company operated the Clavo Rico mine in Honduras through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Compañía Minera Cerros del Sur, S.A de C.V. (“CMCS”) and other mining concessions. The Clavo Rico mine’s workings include several historical underground mining operations dating back to the early Mayan and Spanish occupation, and the primary mine operated through 2022 is located on the 200-hectare Clavo Rico Concession, located in southern Honduras.
2023 Divestiture of the Clavo Rico Mine
On January 12, 2023, Inception Mining, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent (the “LOI”) with Mother Lode Mining, Inc. (“MLM”). The LOI became binding on January 24, 2023 when the final installment of initial payment set forth under the LOI was received by the Company.
Pursuant to the terms of the LOI, the Company agreed to sell all of the shares of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Compañía Minera Cerros Del Sur, S.A. de C.V. (“CMCS”), to MLM. CMCS is the Honduran-based company that owns the Clavo Rico mine.
The purchase price for the sale of CMCS by the Company to MLM consisted of the following cash consideration (a) $280,000 was delivered by MLM to the Company on January 3, 2023 to pay outstanding debts owed by the Corporation; (b) $300,000 was delivered by MLM to the Company on January 5, 2023 to satisfy existing debts of the Company; (c) $100,000 was delivered by MLM to the Company on January 16, 2023; (d) $200,000 was delivered by MLM to the Company on January 17, 2023; (e) $1,200,000 was delivered by MLM to the Company on January 18, 2023, to pay a settlement amount for existing debt of the Company; (f) $500,000 was delivered by MLM to the Company on January 23, 2023, to satisfy existing debts of the Company; (g) $500,000 was delivered by MLM to the Corporation on January 24, 2023 to satisfy existing debts of the Corporation.
In addition to the amounts already delivered under the LOI, an additional amount of $2,620,0000 shall be paid by MLM to the Company over a period of twenty-four (24) months (the “Monthly Payments”). The Monthly Payments shall be paid as follows: (i) $25,000 due March 1, 2023, (ii) $50,000 due on the first day of each of April, May and June 2023, and (iii) $100,000 due on the first day of each month for the following twenty months, until February 1, 2025 at which point all amounts due and payable hereunder shall be delivered in a final balloon payment. Outstanding balances and missed Monthly Payments will be secured by a 10% NSR on the Clavo Rico mine production until the Monthly Payments are delivered and the purchase price is paid in full. In addition to the Monthly Payments, the Company will receive a carried forward net profits interest royalty (“NPI”) of 5% on the Clavo Rico mine production until the total NPI paid to the Company is $1,000,000, subject to limited conditions.
Following the Closing of the LOI on January 24, 2023, the Company divested its ownership interest in CMCS and its interests in the Clavo Rico mine, resulting in the transfer of operations to Mother Lode Mining and full control of the Clavo Rico mine asset.

Current Operations
Since the Divestiture of the Clavo Rico Mine, the Company has been operating as a consultant and advisor to the mining industry, including to Mother Lode Mining, the new owner of the Clavo Rico mine. It also has an ongoing financial interest in the Clavo Rico Mine under the LOI.
The Company will receive $2,595,000 in cash payments through January 2025, with such payments secured by a ten percent net smelter royalty on the Clavo Rico Mine’s production.
The Company will also receive a carried forward net profits interest royalty of five percent of the Clavo Rico mine production until payment to the Company reaches $1,000,000, subject to reduction for certain limited Clavo Rico mine expenses.
Results of Operations
Three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022
We had net income of $15,283,733 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, and a net loss of $882,215 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022.

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2023, was $15,283,733 while the net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $882,215.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our balance sheet as of March 31, 2023, reflects assets of $2,647,009. We had cash in the amount of $26,153 and working capital deficit in the amount of $684,988 as of March 31, 2023. Thus, we do not have sufficient working capital to enable us to carry out our stated plan of operation for the next twelve months.
Working Capital

| Current assets | $ | 1,077,882 | $ | 302,849 | ||||

| Working capital deficit | $ | (684,988 | ) | $ | (28,765,349 | ) | ||
We anticipate generating losses and, therefore, may be unable to continue operations in the future, if we don’t acquire additional capital and issue debt or equity or enter into a strategic arrangement with a third party.
Going Concern Consideration
As reflected in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company and has an accumulated deficit of $26,385,508. In addition, there is a working capital deficit of $684,988 as of March 31, 2023. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles used in the United States. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies. We believe that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of our financial statements is critical to an understanding of our financials.
Costs of acquiring mining properties and any exploration and development costs are expensed as incurred unless proven and probable reserves exist, and the property is a commercially mineable property. Mine development costs incurred either to develop new gold and silver deposits, expand the capacity of operating mines, or develop mine areas substantially in advance of current production are capitalized. Costs incurred to maintain current production or to maintain assets on a standby basis are charged to operations. Costs of abandoned projects are charged to operations upon abandonment. The Company evaluates, at least quarterly, the carrying value of capitalized mining costs and related property, plant, and equipment costs, if any, to determine if these costs are in excess of their net realizable value and if a permanent impairment needs to be recorded. The periodic evaluation of carrying value of capitalized costs and any related property, plant and equipment costs are based upon expected future cash flows and/or estimated salvage value.
The Company capitalizes costs for mining properties by individual property and defers such costs for later amortization only if the prospects for economic productions are reasonably certain. Capitalized costs are expensed in the period when the determination has been made that economic production does not appear reasonably certain.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
For recent accounting pronouncements, please refer to the notes to financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to include disclosures under this item.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or 1934 Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer (principal financial officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13(a)-15(e) under the 1934 Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, because of the Company’s limited resources and limited number of employees, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2023.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

| Nature of Business | 1. Nature of Business
Inception Mining, Inc. (formerly known as Gold American Mining Corp.) was incorporated under the name of Golf Alliance Corporation and under the laws of the State of Nevada on July 2, 2007. Inception Mining, Inc. is a precious metal mineral acquisition, exploration and development company. Inception Development, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary, was incorporated under the laws of the State of Idaho on January 28, 2013.

This reverse stock split was effective on February 13, 2013. All share and per share references have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this 200 to 1 reverse stock split in the financial statements and in the notes to financial statements for all periods presented, to reflect the stock split as if it occurred on the first day of the first period presented.
On February 25, 2013, Gold American Mining Corp. and its majority shareholder (the “Majority Shareholder”), and its wholly owned subsidiary, Inception Development Inc. (the “Subsidiary”), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Inception Resources, LLC, a Utah corporation (“Inception Resources”), pursuant to which Inception purchased the U.P. and Burlington Gold Mine in consideration of shares of common stock of Inception, the assumption of promissory notes in the amount of $ and the assignment of a 3% net royalty. Inception Resources was an entity owned by and under the control of the majority shareholder. This transaction is deemed an asset purchase by entities under common control. The Asset Purchase Agreement closed on February 25, 2013 (the “Closing”). Inception was a “shell company” (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) immediately prior to our acquisition of the gold mine pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement. As a result of such acquisition, the Company’s operations were then focused on the ownership and operation of the mine acquired from Inception Resources and the Company then ceased to be a shell company as it no longer has nominal operations. On February 21, 2020, the Company sold the Up & Burlington property and mineral rights to Ounces High Exploration, Inc. in exchange for $250,000 in cash consideration and shares of common stock of Hawkstone Mining Limited, a publicly-trade Australian company.

Pursuant to the agreement, the Company issued shares of common stock of Inception and assumed promissory notes in the amount of $5,488,980 and accrued interest of $3,434,426. Under this merger agreement, there was a change in control, and it has been treated for accounting purposes as a reverse recapitalization with Clavo Rico, Ltd. being the surviving entity. Its workings include several historical underground operations dating back to the early Mayan and Spanish occupation.
On January 11, 2016, the Company implemented a 5.5 to 1 reverse stock split. This reverse stock split was effective on May 26, 2016.

COVID-19 - The challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy increased significantly as the first quarter of 2020 progressed. COVID-19 has spread across the globe during 2020 and is impacting economic activity worldwide. In response to COVID-19, national and local governments around the world have instituted certain measures, including travel bans, prohibitions on group events and gatherings, shutdowns of certain businesses, curfews, shelter-in-place orders and recommendations to practice social distancing. Based on management’s assessment as of March 31, 2023, the ultimate impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows is dependent on future developments, including the duration of the pandemic and the related length of its impact on the global economy, which are uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time.

| Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Going Concern - The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company had net income of $15,283,733 during the period ended March 31, 2023 and had a working capital deficit of $684,988 as of March 31, 2023. Since the net income was from non-operating sources and the working capital is still a deficit along with other factors, these along with other factors indicate that the Company may be unable to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements.
The Company’s existence is dependent upon management’s ability to develop profitable operations and to obtain additional funding sources. There can be no assurance that the Company’s financing efforts will result in profitable operations or the resolution of the Company’s liquidity problems. The accompanying statements do not include any adjustments that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Management is currently working to make changes that will result in profitable operations and to obtain additional funding sources to meet the Company’s need for cash during the next twelve months and beyond.
Principles of Consolidation - The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Inception Mining, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Inception Development, Corp., Clavo Rico Development Corp., Clavo Rico, Ltd. and Compañía Minera Cerros del Río, S.A. de C.V., and its controlling interest subsidiaries, Compañía Minera Cerros del Sur, S.A. de C.V. and Compañía Minera Clavo Rico, S.A. de C.V. (collectively, the “Company”) until the divestiture of the subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Basis of Presentation - The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Condensed Financial Statements - The interim consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Inception Mining Inc. (“Inception Mining” or the “Company”) without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in this filing and the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC on April 17, 2023.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments have been made consisting of normal recurring adjustments and consolidating entries, necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2023, the results of its consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, its condensed consolidated statement of stockholders’ deficit and its consolidated cash flows for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023. The results of consolidated operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.
Use of Estimates – In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenditures during the reported periods. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Estimates may include those pertaining to valuation of inventories and mineralized material on leach pads, the estimated useful lives and valuation of properties, plant and equipment, mineral rights and properties, deferred tax assets, convertible preferred stock, derivative assets and liabilities, reclamation liabilities, stock-based compensation and payments, and contingent liabilities.
Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had $0 and $0 in cash equivalents, respectively. The aggregate cash balance on deposit in these accounts is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. The Company has never experienced any losses in such accounts.
Settlement of Contracts in Company’s Equity– In accordance with ASC 815-40-25, the Company must meet certain requirements in order to report contracts as equity versus liabilities. These requirements must be met by the Company or the contracts need to be reported as liabilities. The Company has adopted the sequencing approach as guidance on contracts that permit partial net share settlement. The Company evaluates the contracts based on the earliest issuance date. Currently, the Company doesn’t have any items that are reported as equity instead of liabilities.
Fair Value Measurements - The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that could be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Financial assets are marked to bid prices and financial liabilities are marked to offer prices. The fair value should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity. In addition, the fair value of liabilities should include consideration of non-performance risk, including the party’s own credit risk.
Fair value measurements do not include transaction costs. A fair value hierarchy is used to prioritize the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy is defined into the following three categories:
To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is disclosed and is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The carrying value of the Company’s cash, accounts payable, short-term borrowings (including convertible notes payable), and other current assets and liabilities approximate fair value because of their short-term maturity.
The fair value of financial instruments on March 31, 2023 are summarized below:
The fair value of financial instruments on December 31, 2022 are summarized below:
The Company recognizes its derivative liabilities as level 3 and values its derivatives using the methods discussed below. While the Company believes that its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, it recognizes that the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date. The primary assumptions that would significantly affect the fair values using the methods discussed below are that of volatility and market price of the underlying common stock of the Company.
Marketable Securities - We measure the fair value of marketable securities in accordance with ASC 825-10 – Financial Instruments. Any change in the fair value is recognized in net income in the period being reported.
Notes Receivable - Notes receivable include amounts due to the Company pursuant to financial agreements stipulating interest rates, payment terms and maturity dates. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, Note’s receivable balance includes one note due from Mother Load Mining, Inc. in the amounts of $2,595,000 and $0, respectively, net of reserves of $0 (see Note 4 – Note Receivable).
Long-Lived Assets - We review the carrying amount of our long-lived assets for impairment whenever there are negative indicators of impairment. An asset is considered impaired when estimated future cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset. In the event the carrying amount of such asset is not considered recoverable, the asset is adjusted to its fair value. Fair value is generally determined based on discounted future cash flows.
Properties, Plant and Equipment - We record properties, plant and equipment at historical cost. We provide depreciation and amortization in amounts sufficient to match the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated service lives or productive value. We capitalize expenditures for improvements that significantly extend the useful life of an asset. We charge expenditures for maintenance and repairs to operations when incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives as follows:
Stock Issued for Goods and Services - Common and preferred shares issued for goods and services are valued based upon the fair market value of our common stock or the goods and services received.
Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) – Other Comprehensive income (loss) is made up of the exchange differences arising on translating foreign operations, unrealized losses on marketable securities and the net loss for the three-months ending March 31, 2023 and 2022.
Derivative Liabilities - Derivative liabilities are recorded at fair value when issued and the subsequent change in fair value each period is recorded in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations.
Income Taxes - The Company’s income tax expense and deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect management’s best assessment of estimated future taxes to be paid. Significant judgments and estimates are required in determining the consolidated income tax expense.
Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between the tax and financial statement recognition of revenue and expense. In evaluating the Company’s ability to recover its deferred tax assets, management considers all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. In projecting future taxable income, the Company develops assumptions including the amount of future state and federal pretax operating income, the reversal of temporary differences, and the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. These assumptions require significant judgment about the forecasts of future taxable income and are consistent with the plans and estimates that the Company is using to manage the underlying businesses. The Company provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which the Company does not consider realization of such deferred tax assets to be more likely than not.
Changes in tax laws and rates could also affect recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities in the future. Management is not aware of any such changes that would have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position.
Business Segments – The Company operates in one segment and therefore segment information is not presented.
Financial Statement Reclassification – Certain account balances from prior periods have been reclassified in these consolidated financial statements to conform to current period classifications. Some related party notes payable were reclassified from current to long-term.
Operating Lease – The Company leases its corporate headquarters and administrative offices in Salt Lake City, Utah. This lease expires in August 2024.
The supplemental balance sheet information related to the operating lease for the periods is as follows:
Maturities of the Company’s undiscounted operating lease liabilities are as follows:
The Company made cash payments of $3,987 and $3,870 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company incurred rent expense of $3,700 and $3,700 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Non-Controlling Interest Policy – Non-controlling interest (NCI) is the portion of equity ownership in a subsidiary not attributable to the parent company, who has a controlling interest and consolidates the subsidiary’s financial results with its own. The amount of equity relating to the non-controlling interest is separately identified in the equity section of the balance sheet and the amount of the net income (loss) relating to the non-controlling interest is separately identified on the statement of operations.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements – From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by FASB that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. If not discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.

The Company adopted the provisions of ASC subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825-10”) on January 1, 2008. ASC 825-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of non-performance. ASC 825-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
The following table provides a summary of changes in fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities as of March 31, 2023:
Derivative Liabilities – The Company issued convertible promissory notes which are convertible into common stock, at holders’ option, at a discount to the market price of the Company’s common stock. The Company has identified the embedded derivatives related to these notes relating to certain anti-dilutive (reset) provisions. These embedded derivatives included certain conversion features. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record fair value of the derivatives as of the inception date of debenture and to fair value as of each subsequent reporting date.
At March 31, 2023, the Company marked to market the fair value of the debt derivatives and determined a fair value of $57,410. The Company recorded a gain from change in fair value of debt derivatives of $3,205,202 for the period ended March 31, 2023. The fair value of the embedded derivatives was determined using the Binomial Option Pricing Model and the Monte Carlo Valuation Model. The Binomial Option Pricing Model was based on the following assumptions: (1) dividend yield of 0%, (2) expected volatility of 283.88%, (3) weighted average risk-free interest rate of 4.74% (4) expected life of 0.08 years, and (5) the quoted market price of the Company’s common stock at each valuation date. The Monte Carlo Valuation Model was based on the following assumptions: (1) expected volatility of 266.50%, (2) weighted average risk-free interest rate of 4.79% and (3) expected life of 0.55 years.
Based upon ASC 840-15-25 (EITF Issue 00-19, paragraph 11) the Company has adopted a sequencing approach regarding the application of ASC 815-40 to its outstanding convertible notes. Pursuant to the sequencing approach, the Company evaluates its contracts based upon earliest issuance date.
Warrant Liabilities – Prior to the periods being reported, the Company issued warrants in conjunction with the issuance of three Crown Bridge Convertible Notes and a Convertible Note with an investor. These warrants contained certain reset provisions. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments required that the Company record fair value of the derivatives as of the inception date (issuance date) and to fair value as of each subsequent reporting date.
At March 31, 2023, the Company had a warrant liability of $0. The Company recorded a loss from change in fair value of warrant liability of $0 for the period ended March 31, 2023. The fair value of the embedded derivatives was determined using the Binomial Option Pricing Model. The Binomial Option Pricing Model was based on the following assumptions: (1) dividend yield of 0%, (2) expected volatility of 241.87% to 281.16%, (3) weighted average risk-free interest rate of 4.74% to 4.94% (4) expected life of 0.11 to 0.57 years, and (5) the quoted market price of the Company’s common stock at each valuation date.

| Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had $0 and $0 in cash equivalents, respectively. The aggregate cash balance on deposit in these accounts is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. The Company has never experienced any losses in such accounts.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Settlement of Contracts in Company’s Equity | Settlement of Contracts in Company’s Equity– In accordance with ASC 815-40-25, the Company must meet certain requirements in order to report contracts as equity versus liabilities. These requirements must be met by the Company or the contracts need to be reported as liabilities. The Company has adopted the sequencing approach as guidance on contracts that permit partial net share settlement. The Company evaluates the contracts based on the earliest issuance date. Currently, the Company doesn’t have any items that are reported as equity instead of liabilities.

| Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements - The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that could be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Financial assets are marked to bid prices and financial liabilities are marked to offer prices. The fair value should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity. In addition, the fair value of liabilities should include consideration of non-performance risk, including the party’s own credit risk.
Fair value measurements do not include transaction costs. A fair value hierarchy is used to prioritize the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy is defined into the following three categories:
To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is disclosed and is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The carrying value of the Company’s cash, accounts payable, short-term borrowings (including convertible notes payable), and other current assets and liabilities approximate fair value because of their short-term maturity.
The fair value of financial instruments on March 31, 2023 are summarized below:
The fair value of financial instruments on December 31, 2022 are summarized below:
The Company recognizes its derivative liabilities as level 3 and values its derivatives using the methods discussed below. While the Company believes that its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, it recognizes that the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date. The primary assumptions that would significantly affect the fair values using the methods discussed below are that of volatility and market price of the underlying common stock of the Company.

| Marketable Securities | Marketable Securities - We measure the fair value of marketable securities in accordance with ASC 825-10 – Financial Instruments. Any change in the fair value is recognized in net income in the period being reported.

| Notes Receivable | Notes Receivable - Notes receivable include amounts due to the Company pursuant to financial agreements stipulating interest rates, payment terms and maturity dates. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, Note’s receivable balance includes one note due from Mother Load Mining, Inc. in the amounts of $2,595,000 and $0, respectively, net of reserves of $0 (see Note 4 – Note Receivable).
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Long-Lived Assets | Long-Lived Assets - We review the carrying amount of our long-lived assets for impairment whenever there are negative indicators of impairment. An asset is considered impaired when estimated future cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset. In the event the carrying amount of such asset is not considered recoverable, the asset is adjusted to its fair value. Fair value is generally determined based on discounted future cash flows.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Properties, Plant and Equipment | Properties, Plant and Equipment - We record properties, plant and equipment at historical cost. We provide depreciation and amortization in amounts sufficient to match the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated service lives or productive value. We capitalize expenditures for improvements that significantly extend the useful life of an asset. We charge expenditures for maintenance and repairs to operations when incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives as follows:

| Derivative Liabilities | Derivative Liabilities - Derivative liabilities are recorded at fair value when issued and the subsequent change in fair value each period is recorded in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Income Taxes | Income Taxes - The Company’s income tax expense and deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect management’s best assessment of estimated future taxes to be paid. Significant judgments and estimates are required in determining the consolidated income tax expense.
Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between the tax and financial statement recognition of revenue and expense. In evaluating the Company’s ability to recover its deferred tax assets, management considers all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. In projecting future taxable income, the Company develops assumptions including the amount of future state and federal pretax operating income, the reversal of temporary differences, and the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. These assumptions require significant judgment about the forecasts of future taxable income and are consistent with the plans and estimates that the Company is using to manage the underlying businesses. The Company provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which the Company does not consider realization of such deferred tax assets to be more likely than not.
Changes in tax laws and rates could also affect recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities in the future. Management is not aware of any such changes that would have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position.
