Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
Three month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014


1.
Nature of Business

Hunt Mining Corp. (the “Company” or “Hunt”), is a mineral exploration company incorporated on January 10, 2006 under the laws of Alberta, Canada and, together with its subsidiaries, is engaged in the exploration of mineral properties in Santa Cruz Province, Argentina.

Effective November 6, 2013, the Company continued from the Province of Alberta to the Province of British Columbia.  The Company’s registered office is located at 1810, 1111 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6E 4M3.  The Company’s head office is located at 23800 E Appleway Avenue, Liberty Lake, Washington, USA.

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the following subsidiaries after elimination of intercompany transactions and balances:

Holder of Assets and Exploration Company

Nominee Shareholder
Hunt Gold USA LLC
Washington, USA
100%
Management Company

The Company’s primary activity is the exploration of mineral properties in Argentina. On the basis of information to date, the Company has not yet determined whether these properties contain economically recoverable ore reserves. The underlying value of the mineral properties is entirely dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete development and upon future profitable production or a sale of these properties.

2.    Basis of presentation

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the IASB.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments and share based compensation measured at fair value.  In addition, these condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.

The Company's functional and presentation currency is the Canadian Dollar.

The preparation of condensed interim consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Judgments made by management in the application of IFRS that have a significant effect on the condensed interim consolidated financial statements and estimates with significant risk of material adjustment in the current and following years are discussed in Note 6 of the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
Three month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014

 
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue on May 29, 2015 by the Board of Directors of the Company.

3.    Going Concern
 
The accompanying condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company is an exploration stage company and has incurred significant losses since its inception. As shown in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, the Company has had minimal revenues and has incurred an accumulated loss of $34,944,782 through March 31, 2015 (December 31, 2014 - $34,478,437).  The Company intends to fund operations for the next twelve months with loans or investments from directors, officers and third parties.

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable mineral reserves, the ability to obtain necessary financing to complete development and fund operations and future production or proceeds from their disposition. Additionally, the current capital markets and the deteriorating commodity markets worldwide provide no assurance that the Company’s funding initiatives will continue to be successful. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. If the going concern basis was not appropriate for these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, adjustments would be necessary in the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses and the statement of financial position classifications used.

4.    Significant Accounting Policies

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting policies and methods of computation consistent with those applied in the Company’s December 31, 2014 annual audited consolidated financial statements except as disclosed in Note 5.  These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all the information required for full set of annual audited financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year end December 31, 2014.

5.    Standards, Interpretations and Amendments to Existing Standards

At the date of these condensed interim condensed interim consolidated financial statements, certain new standards, interpretations and amendments to existing standards have been published but are not yet effective, and have not been adopted early by the Company. Management anticipates that all of the relevant pronouncements will be adopted in the Company's accounting policy for the first period beginning after the effective date of the pronouncement. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new pronouncements but does not anticipate any material changes to the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements as a result of their adoption.  Information on new standard, amendment and interpretation that is expected to be relevant to the Company's condensed interim consolidated financial statements is provided below. Certain other new standards and interpretations have been issued but are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”)

The following accounting standards and amendments are effective for future periods:

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
Three month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014

 
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments

This standard introduces new classification and measurement models for financial assets, using a single approach to determine whether a financial asset is measured at amortized cost or fair value. To be classified and measured at amortized cost, assets must satisfy the business model test for managing the financial assets and have certain contractual cash flow characteristics. All other financial instrument assets are to be classified and measured at fair value. This standard allows an irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on equity instruments (that are not held-for-trading) in other comprehensive income, with dividends as a return on these investments being recognized in profit or loss. In addition, those equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income would no longer have to apply any impairment requirements nor would there be any ‘recycling’ of gains or losses through profit or loss on disposal. The accounting for financial liabilities continues to be classified and measured in accordance with IAS 39, with one exception, being that the portion of a change of fair value relating to the entity’s own credit risk is to be presented in other comprehensive income unless it would create an accounting mismatch.

This standard is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018.

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The IASB issued IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides a single principle-based framework to be applied to all contracts with customers. IFRS 15 replaces the previous revenue standard IAS 18, Revenue, and the related Interpretations on revenue recognition. The standard scopes out contracts that are considered to be lease contracts, insurance contracts and financial instruments. The new standard is a control-based model as compared to the existing revenue standard which is primarily focused on risks and rewards. Under the new standard, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of a good or service. Transfer of control occurs when the customer has the ability to direct the use of and obtain the benefits of the good or service.

This standard is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017.

 6.    Critical accounting judgments and estimates

There have been no material revisions to the nature of the judgments and estimates disclosed in the Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

7.    Cash and Equivalents

Cash and equivalents are comprised of the following:
 
   
March 31, 2015
   
December 31, 2014
 
Cash
  $ 7,477     $ 115,246  
    $ 7,477     $ 115,246  
 
8.    Marketable Securities

Marketable securities consist of equities in the Buenos Aires stock exchange.  During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company purchased and sold shares, resulting in a loss of $Nil (March 31, 2014 - $9,571), which has been recorded as miscellaneous expense in the Company’s condensed interim consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

12.         Performance bond

The performance bond, originally required to secure the Company’s rights to explore the La Josefina property, is a step-up US dollar denominated 2.5% coupon bond, paying quarterly, issued by the Government of Argentina with a face value of US$600,000 and a maturity date of 2035.  The bond trades in the secondary market in Argentina.  The bond was originally purchased for $292,877 (US$247,487).  As of the three months ended March 31, 2015, the value of the bond increased to $469,237 (US$371,173).  The changes in the face value of the performance bond of $132,387 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 (March 31, 2014 - $80,073) are recorded as comprehensive income in the Company’s condensed interim consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss.

Since Cerro Cazador S.A. (“CCSA”) fulfilled its exploration expenditure requirement mandated by the agreement with Fomento Minero de Santa Cruz Sociedad del Estado (“Fomicruz”), the performance bond was no longer required to secure the La Josefina project.  Therefore, in June 2010 the Company used the bond to secure the La Valenciana project, an additional Fomicruz exploration project.

13.    Value added tax receivable (“VAT”)

The Company’s VAT receivable as of March 31, 2015 was $643,659 (December 31, 2014 - $557,480).  These amounts reflect the VAT receivable accrued due to the payment of VAT on certain transactions in Argentina.  The Company expects reimbursement on the VAT once the exports of minerals have commenced, the Company has estimated that if successful in finding an economic mineral deposit, production will begin in 2019. The asset is reported at net present value based upon the Company’s estimate of when it will have future revenues.  The Company uses an expected production date of December 31, 2019, and a discount rate of 18.6% based upon the average Argentine interest rates and will record an adjustment in the present value of the VAT receivable at December 31, 2015.  The net change of the VAT receivable for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $86,179 (three months ended March 31, 2014 – ($77,628)).

16.    Financial Instruments
 
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and equivalents, accounts receivable, performance bond and accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
 
The Company characterizes inputs used in determining fair value using a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs depending on the degree to which they are observable.  The fair value hierarchy establishes three levels to classify the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value.  The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
 
 
·
Level 1:  inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.  Active markets are those in which transactions occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
 
 
·
Level 2:  inputs, other than quoted prices, that are observable, either directly or indirectly.  Level 2 valuations are based on inputs, including quoted forward prices for commodities, market interest rates, and volatility factors, which can be observed or corroborated in the market place.
 
 
·
Level 3:  inputs are less observable, unavoidable or where the observable data does not support the majority of the instruments’ fair value.

Cash and equivalents, marketable securities and performance bond are measured based on Level 1 inputs of the fair value hierarchy on a recurring basis.

The carrying value of accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.  The Company assessed that there were no indicators of impairment for these financial instruments.

The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks, including currency risk, credit risk, interest rate risk, market risk, liquidity risk and currency risk.

Financial risk management
 
The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks, including currency risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, price risk and interest rate risk.
 
i.
Currency risk
 
The Company holds cash balances, incurs payables and has receivables that are denominated in the Canadian Dollar, the United States Dollar and the Argentine Peso. These balances are subject to fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Canadian Dollar, and the United States Dollar and the Argentine Peso, resulting in currency gains or losses for the Company.
 
As at March 31, 2015, the following are denominated in US dollars:
 
Cash and equivalents
  $ 1,681  
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities
  $ 474,100  
 
  As at March 31, 2015, the following are denominated in Argentine Pesos:
 
Cash and equivalents
  $ 61  
Performance bond
  $ 469,237  
Accounts receivable
  $ 76,406  
Other credits
  $ 108,391  
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities
  $ 619,016

Three month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014

 
The Company is exposed to the financial risk related to the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates. A significant change in the currency exchange rates between the United States dollar relative to the Canadian dollar and the Argentine Peso could have an effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows. The Company has not hedged its exposure to currency fluctuations.
 
At March 31, 2015, if the U.S. dollar strengthened or weakened by 10% relative to the Canadian dollar the impact on loss and other comprehensive loss would be as follows:

   
Impact on net loss and
comprehensive loss
U.S. Dollar Exchange rate – 10% increase
  $ (43,398 )
U.S. Dollar Exchange rate – 10% decrease
  $ 43,398  
 
At March 31, 2015, if the Argentine Peso strengthened or weakened by 10% relative to the Canadian dollar the impact on loss and other comprehensive loss would be as follows:
 
   
Impact on net loss and
comprehensive loss
Argentine Peso Exchange rate – 10% increase
  $ (90,517 )
Argentine Peso Exchange rate – 10% decrease
  $ 90,517  

ii.         Credit risk
 
Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations.
 
The Company’s cash and equivalents are held through Canadian, United States and Argentine financial institutions.
 
The Company maintains its cash and equivalents in multiple financial institutions. The Company maintains cash in an Argentine bank. The Argentine accounts, which had a Canadian dollar balance of $61 at March 31, 2015 (December 31, 2014 - $11,117) are considered uninsured and may be at risk in case of the failure of the bank.

The Company controls for this risk by only keeping funds in Argentina sufficient to meet approximately two months of operating expenses.

The Company pays VAT to the Argentine government on all expenses in Argentina.  This creates a VAT receivable owed by the government of Argentina.  The Company’s receivable at March 31, 2015 is $643,659 ($1,490,979 – undiscounted) (December 31, 2014 - $557,480 ($1,308,076 – undiscounted)).  The Company believes this to be a collectible amount and it is backed in the strength and laws of the Argentine government.  If for some reason the government did not pay, changed the laws, defaulted on the receivable or the Company never achieved any mineral production, the Company could lose the full value of the receivable.

Three month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014

 
iii.      Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure.  The Company is dependent on the capital markets to raise capital by issuing equity in the Company to support operations. The current environment is prohibitive for the issuance of capital and there is no guarantee that should the Company need to raise new capital to support operations it will be able to do so on favorable terms, if at all.  All of the Company’s accounts payable and accrued liabilities are current and payable within one year.
 
iv.
Price risk
 
The Company closely monitors commodity prices to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.  A dramatic decline in commodity prices could impact the viability of the Company and the carrying value of its properties. The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity prices.  There is minimal price risk at the present time as the Company is not yet in the production phase.
 
v.       Interest rate risk
 
Interest rate risk is the impact that changes in interest rates could have on the Company’s earnings and liabilities.  In the normal course of business, the Company is not exposed to interest rate fluctuations because it has no interest bearing debt as at March 31, 2015 and invested cash is short-term in nature.
 
17.    Segmented Information

All of the Company’s operations are in the mineral properties exploration industry with its principal business activity in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties.  The Company conducts its resource properties exploration activities primarily in Argentina.

18.    Commitments and Provision

 
a)
On March 27, 2007, the Company signed a definitive lease purchase agreement with FK Minera S.A. to acquire a 100% interest in the Bajo Pobré gold property located in Santa Cruz Province, Argentina.  The Company may earn up to a 100% equity interest in the Bajo Pobré property by making cash payments and exploration expenditures over a five-year earn-in period.

The required expenditures and ownership levels upon meeting those requirements were:

Year of the Agreement
Payment to FK Minera S.A.
   
Exploration Expenditures Required
   
Ownership
 
First year – 2007
US$50,000
PAID
 
US$250,000
      0 %
Second year – 2008
US$30,000

US$250,000
      0 %
Third year –2009
US$50,000

    -       51 %
Fourth year – 2010
US$50,000
PAID
    -       60 %
Fifth year – 2011
US$50,000
PAID
    -       100 %

After the fifth year, the Company is obligated to pay FK Minera S.A. the greater of a 1% net smelter royalty (“NSR”) on commercial production or US$100,000 per year.  The Company has the option to purchase the NSR for a lump-sum payment of US$1,000,000 less the sum of all royalty payments made to FK Minera S.A. to that point.

As of March 31, 2015, the Company has made all required payments to FK Minera S.A., the owner of the Bajo Pobré property.  The parties to the contract have finalized an amendment to the contract terms and therefore the Company’s ability to retain rights to explore the Bajo Pobré property is affirmed at this time.  As part of the amendment, the Company’s obligation of exploration expenditures has been waived by FK Minera S.A., thus affirming the Company’s right to ownership.

 
b)
In March 2007, the Company was the successful bidder for the exploration and development rights to the La Josefina project from Fomicruz.  On July 24, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with Fomicruz pursuant to which the Company agreed to invest a minimum of US$6 million in exploration and development expenditures over a four year period, including US$1.5 million before July 2008. The agreement provides that, in the event that a positive feasibility study is completed on the La Josefina property, a Joint Venture Corporation (“JV Corporation”) would be formed by the Company and Fomicruz. A revised schedule for exploration and development of the La Josefina project was submitted in writing to Fomicruz and was adopted on May 3, 2011, mandating that an economic feasibility study and production decision be made by the Company for the La Josefina project by the end of 2013. The Company would own 91% of the joint venture company and Fomicruz would own the remaining 9%. 

On November 15, 2012 the Company signed an amended agreement with Fomicruz extending the exploration term by 4 years; the new agreement requires the Company to make a production decision by the end of 2019.  The Company’s projected production date is December 31, 2019.

The Company has agreed to make a minimum investment of US$12 million, of which it has already invested approximately US$9 million.  Additionally, and subject to proof of compliance with committed investments, the Company has the option to continue exploration for a second additional term of four years, ending on June 30, 2019, requiring it to make an additional investment US$6 million, which will bring the total investments in the La Josefina Project to US$18 million.

A participating interest of Fomicruz over the minerals and metals extracted from the field and the purchase option of up to a 49% participating interest in the incorporation of the future Company to be organized for the productions and exploitation of the project, having Fomicruz to contribute the equivalent of such percentage of the investments made.  The Company has the right to buy back any increase in Fomicruz’s ownership interest in the JV Corporation at a purchase price of USD$200,000 per each percentage interest owned by Fomicruz down to its initial ownership interest of 19%; the Company can purchase 10% of the Fomicruz’s initial 19% JV Corporation ownership interest by negotiating a purchase amount with Fomicruz.

 
c)
On June 30, 2010, a former director and accounting consultant (“the Consultant”) to the Company severed his business relationship with the Company. On August 5, 2010 the Consultant claimed that since 2006, he was actually an employee of, not a consultant to, CCSA. On September 7, 2010, the Argentine Ministry of Labor, Employment and Social Security filed a Certificate of Notice on CCSA and the Company indicating that a representative from CCSA and the Company must appear before a mediator to address the Consultant’s claims. The certificates of notice stated the value of the Consultant’s claim against the Company at 500,000 pesos (US$126,811).

On March 18, 2011, a lawsuit was filed against the Company and its subsidiaries by the Consultant.  The lawsuit claimed that the Consultant was an employee of the Company, not a consultant, since 2006.  The total value of the claim was US$249,041, including wages, alleged bonus payments, interest and penalties.  The condensed interim consolidated financial statements include a provision of $125,000 at March 31, 2015 (December 31, 2014 - $125,000), representing the estimated value of the certificates of notices filed to date.  Management considers the lawsuit to be without merit and intends to defend the Company and its subsidiaries to the fullest extent possible.

As of March 31, 2015, the Company has been notified that amounts totaling 1,025,610 pesos ($108,391 as at March 31, 2015 and $95,966 as at December 31, 2014) was withheld from its Argentine bank account and placed in escrow with the Court pending the outcome of the lawsuit filed on March 18, 2011 against the Company.

 
d)
On October 31, 2011, the Company signed an agreement with the owners of the Piedra Labrada Ranch for the use and lease of facilities on the same premises as the Company’s La Josefina facilities.  The initial term was for three years beginning November 1, 2011 and ended on October 31, 2014, including annual commitments of $60,000.

Subsequent to March 31, 2015, the Company signed a new agreement with the owners of the Piedra Labrada Ranch with a term of three years beginning May 1, 2015 and ending on April 30, 2018, including annual commitments of $60,000.  The Company’s total commitment for 2015 is US$40,000.

 
e)
On November 1, 2012, the Company entered into an agreement with Fomicruz for the exploration of the La Valenciana project in Santa Cruz province, Argentina.  The agreement is for a total of 7 years, expiring on October 31, 2019.  The 7 years is broken into 3 economic periods, at the end of each period the Company will have the option of reporting its results to Fomicruz or terminating the agreement.

 
The agreement with Fomicruz requires the Company to spend USD $5,000,000 in exploration on the project over 7 years.  If the Company elects to exercise its option to bring the La Valenciana project into production it must grant Fomicruz a 9% ownership in a new JV Corporation to be created by the Company to manage the project. If Fomicruz elects to increase their ownership they can under the following formula up to a maximum of 49% interest.
